#he deserves all the good things in life

[lets-try-some-writing]

I headcannon that Starscream (and probably other Decepticons) are touch starved, and deserves to be treated nicely for once. You mentioned in another post that Starscream missed his trine, and I agree whole heartedly. Now, if Starscream did join the Autobots and got to a healthier environment, how’d you think he’d adjust? Who would he open up to about his trine? (Sorry, this was long)

Hmmm, an interesting question. One which I will gladly expand on and answer to the best of my ability. (Oh and don't worry about your request being long, I don't mind!)

A Long Awaited Defection

After having finally had it with Megatron's consistent failures as a leader and his dark energon induced madness, Starscream would finally take the leap of faith he had been teetering on the edge of making for some time. After removing his Decepticon badge, Starscream would take a few precious belongings and some Decepticon data before fleeing the nemesis. He would then contact the Autobots using his stolen data as incentive.

It would be a tense discussion to say the least, that with Starscream's many crimes and whatnot. However Optimus has always been the forgiving sort and knows the darkness that lives within Megatron. He would, after some questioning, accept Starscream into their ranks under the condition that he be supervised and have his wings bound for a trail period. The rest of the team, especially Arcee, would not be fond of this choice, but Optimus knows a hurt mech when he sees one, and he would be unwilling to leave Starscream to suffer under Megatron.

Starscream would be brought back to base and have his wings bound before being handed off to the bot least likely to murder him in recharge. For his own safety, Starscream's assigned partner would be Bumblebee as the scout tends to more often than not match his Sire in mentality. Starscream would share quarters with Bumblebee and do basically everything with the scout except go on missions. On the days where Bumblebee is sent out on a mission, Starscream's guardianship would fall to either Optimus, or if he is not available, Ratchet.

Given enough time, some interesting relationships would form.

Starscream's Integration

It is not easy for Starscream to get settled with the Autobots. He has spent far too long in Decepticon society where power is key and any and all weaknesses are exploited ruthlessly. Despite the decision to join them being his choice, Starscream is downright awful to be around for the first few weeks as he figures out how the Autobots work. Bumblebee would try to be kind when possible but end up treating Starscream like a stray cat for the most part. He may not be his Sire, but he most certainly inherited the ability to sense small unattended things with a pulse that need love and protection.

Eventually Starscream would begin to leave his space and engage with others around base. It would be small at first, the seeker only ever muttering a suggestion or snarky comment before scurrying away in fear of punishment. But as he grows more comfortable, his coding would come to life again after millennia of being dormant and demand he search for family and companionship. This would lead him to express himself more and begin the natural process of integrating into what his coding recognizes as his new flock.

In light of this, despite his best efforts to be friendly in his own prideful way, his relationship with Arcee and Bulkhead would be turbulent at the best of times, even in the far future. However they have an unspoken agreement of sorts. They protect each other and work together when required, perhaps even socializing when a mutual friend is present, but other than that they have no ties. This is perfectly acceptable to both parties as neither have any desire to associate with the other.

Wheeljack would be pretty chill with Starscream's presence, although it would take a while for Starscream to warm up to the wrecker. After a while they would even develop a friendship around their shared love of science. Starscream supplying Wheeljack with the more intricate knowledge needed to create more complex things and Wheeljack doing most of the heavy lifting. Perhaps their friendship is not the most emotionally bonding, but Starscream and Wheeljack have a friendship unique to them. They are not close enough in Starscream's mind to be kin, but they have enough compatibility between them to have Starscream consider the wreaker a wing-mate, that is if the grounder could fly.

Ultra Magnus would be highly distrustful of Starscream and the seeker would steer clear of him for a long time due to how the commanders gaze reminds him of Megatron. However after Starscream is fully accepted into the Autobots and proves his worth in battle and assisting Ratchet in his scientific endeavors, Ultra Magnus's opinion of him would grow. Eventually they would bond over battle tactics and strategy, together spending long nights working out plans and dealing with as much work as they can before their workaholic Prime takes over. They would also find themselves bonding over the shared experience of trying to keep the team in order and help steer Optimus away from self sacrifice when not necessary. Their regular ritual is to drink a cube of stimulant laced energon together each morning and checking in on the other before going about their business. While also not a very emotionally invested relationship, their shared purpose binds them together in a form of brotherhood, as such Ultra Magnus is also a wing-mate in Starscream's mind.

Smokescreen would be one of the hardest for Starscream to warm up to, and vice versa. The young elite guardsman would struggle greatly trying to get used to having one of Megatron's old lieutenants hanging around. But after saving each other in a few fights and finding that they work well together, Smokescreen would begin to look up the the seeker. In return Starscream would begin to view Smokescreen as a fledgling under his supervision and take up the role of a mentor, albeit a seemingly very disinterested one. Not that he will ever admit it, but he is very proud of his grounder apprentice. The rookie does well in adapting Starscream's teachings and making them apply to his own fighting style. Not only that, but Smokescreen genuinely is interested in the stories that Starscream has to tell of Vos and flight frame culture as a whole. While there is a very low chance Starscream will ever tell his apprentice, he is very fond of him and would fight just as fiercely as Optimus to protect the youngling should the need arise.

As for Starscream and Bumblebee, their relationship started off a little rocky. Bumblebee was not fond of having to partner with Starscream and the feeling was mutual. However being the sparkling of Optimus and therefore having inherited many of his Sire's traits, Bumblebee was persistent in trying to build up a friendship with the seeker after the initial awkwardness passed. And despite Bumblebee's youth in comparison to Starscream, it did not end up taking long for them to bond. Bumblebee took the time to introduce Starscream to the Autobot lifestyle and their way of life, even going so far as to calm him whenever he woke from recharge in terror. While it did take a bit for Starscream to swallow the pride he had built to protect himself while with the Decepticons, he did eventually accept Bumblebee's kindness and even return it with some of his own.

After having lived with the Autobots for some time and having fully integrated into their team, Starscream is possessive and will gladly protect his yellow wing-mate at all costs. He regularly brings Bumblebee little things and checks up on him to make sure he is alright. He has taken up a role as a secondary caretaker for the scout when Optimus is unavailable while also simultaneously being a brotherly character. He will go above and beyond to take care of Bumblebee but will always try to remain aloof and appear uncaring. Of course Bumblebee has learned to see past this, but he kindly says nothing about it and accepts the affection when he receives it. The fact that Starscream is willing to lounge around with his wings spread while around him is proof of the seeker's trust.

Then there is Ratchet. Their relationship was strictly professional at first, but after the medic found Starscream having a bad panic attack in a storage closet things changed between them. For a time Starscream refused any and all attempts the medic made to help him deal with his mental issues. But eventually after a particularly bad nightmare Starscream broke down and spilled everything to Ratchet. Everything from his grief at the loss of his trine to the anger he feels towards the Decepticons was laid bare. And surprisingly, Ratchet understood and put aside past grievances to comfort the seeker. Since then they have been close, their relationship not needing words or being particularly public. Instead Starscream comes to Ratchet whenever he is having a bad day and they will drink some energon and do some chores around base. Sometimes they discuss Starscream's problems and other times they banter back and forth. For whatever reason Starscream feels incredibly safe around the Autobot medic and has come to see him as a protector, someone akin to a guardian. Ratchet is kind enough to not comment when Starscream cuddles up beside him or follows him around like a lost sparkling, he knows the seeker needs it.

And lastly there is Optimus, the bot who Starscream had the easiest and also the most difficult time adjusting to. The Prime's size was rather intimidating for the first few weeks, as was the knowledge that the Prime had torn mechs apart in battle before. However over time and after coming to see the kind spark and soft voice behind the stoic mask Optimus usually wears, Starscream attached himself to the Prime quickly. It was just his coding at first, it urged him to seek guidance and protection from the leader of the flock. But eventually he began seeking out the Prime for others reasons, in the beginning mainly just to feel the calming waves his field emitted. And later he sought out Optimus for true companionship, finding that they had a great deal in common and got along well bonding over dealing with the younglings and the horrors of war. Starscream couldn't explain it if he wanted to, the Prime just had an indescribable draw, one which had little difficulty pulling Starscream in. And before the seeker realized it he found himself listening to the Prime's stories and bringing him energon when he worked late at night.

Being the possessive creature that he is, Starscream lurks in the rafters and other high places to observe Optimus and to keep an optic out for potential danger toward him. No one touches his kin, especially not his flock leader and Prime. There have been several occasions where Starscream has leapt from the rafters to tackle a bot who looked a little too suspicious, even screeching at them and flaring his plating to ward them off before coming to his senses. He also hovers around Optimus and assists in his work as a cover for what he truly is doing which is taking the opportunity to be clingy. Often he hangs off Optimus's back and leans up against him when they are together as he just wants to feel the protective presence of another. In return Optimus will sometimes massage Starscream's wings, working out dents and easing tight cabling for him. It is something the former Decepticon greatly appreciates and never intends to alert Optimus to the cultural significance of. Only close kin care for each other in the way the Prime cares for him, and Starscream happily allows himself to relish in the affection from his unofficial family and flock.

Extra

Being in a healthy environment made Starscream healthier as well. His armor is bulkier and is more colorful, he is less aggressive, prideful, and arrogant. He is overall a happier bot and far more willing to express himself and speak his mind without fear.

Megatron threw a tantrum the moment he caught sight of Starscream gracefully flying through the air brandishing his bright new Autobot insignia while bombing Decepticon forces. The warlord nearly burst a wire upon receiving a well earned middle finger and a shot to the chassis from his old air commander.

Seeing their old commander so happy and doing so well on the opposing side, several Vehicon squads would also abandon ship in favor of trying their luck at becoming Autobots as well. If successful then the Autobots would then be forced to get a larger base...

because 21 shots would've killed him (again)

written for today's @steddiemicrofic prompt ‘birthday’

wc: 290 | rated: T | cw: recreational drug use, spanking

It had been billed as a once in a lifetime event: Eddie “The Freak” Munson turning 21, and Steve “The Hair” Harrington coming out of rager retirement to throw him a birthday party. And it didn’t disappoint.

Eddie was having the time of his life.

His favorite party game by far was Pin The Joint on the Metalhead. Jonathan’s friend Argyle had made a life-sized plywood version of Eddie with a hole for him to stick his face through like one of those photo ops at a carnival, and Will had painted it with an insane amount of detail. It featured the same outfit he was actually wearing, which got more hysterical with every round of the game until he could barely stand upright from giggling.

Instead of cake there were chocolate cupcakes, baked by Steve and piled high with frosting and decorated with pieces of Honeycomb cereal. Eddie insisted on eating 21 of them, very stoned by this point and marveling every time (out loud, mouth full) at the combination of crunchy, creamy, and cakey.

But the true highlight of the evening came after everyone but Eddie had gone. Cross-faded and happy, he draped himself bonelessly over Steve, still finishing cleanup in the kitchen, and cooed in his ear, “Oh Steeeeevieee. I still need a birthday spanking, sweetheart. One for each year, baby, are you up for that?” And smacked a kiss to his friend’s suddenly very warm cheek.

A few breathless confessions and Eddie swearing he wasn’t too fucked up to remember everything come morning later, he was pants-down across Steve’s knees with a 21st smack lighting up his insides like a goddamn Christmas tree and jarring a desperate, needy moan from him, and yeah.

Best. Birthday. Ever.

Kim Rok Soo!Cale – aka. Poster Child of Trauma

Let's list down all the traumatic experiences of our MC, shall we? :)

Body stolen by the White Star's reincarnation

Being affected by the Curse of the God of Death ("All those you cherish shall die") before being born

Rebirth in Korea, shortly followed by the death of his parents

Taken in by his abusive uncle, Kim Seung Jong, who falls into alcoholism and gambling

Either the uncle dies due to his addictions or it gets so bad Kim Rok Soo runs away – that part was a bit unclear

Gets into the orphanage, where all friends or caretakers he comes to care about leave him, one way or another

Choi Jung Gun shows up when Kim Rok Soo is about to get murdered by the Hunters Park So Jin & Jung Yi-Rang, posing as his counselor & classmate

CJG or the Hunters wipe his memory of the event, which one did it is slightly unclear

Just as KRS's life gets stable enough that he gets a job while studying at a university, the Monster Apocalypse strikes and he loses everything all over again

KRS starves under the wreck of a building for a week before getting rescued by Lee Soo Hyuk

LSH takes him to a shelter where Park Jin Tae is in charge, just for him to turn into an abusive leader who bosses KRS around and beats him up

Then the monster wave shows up, killing everyone KRS got to know and care about at the shelter. Hello, Survivor's Guilt!

Somehow, he survives the rest of the monster wave, but that surely wasn't a pleasant experience, considering all shelters lost power for 24 hours and KRS probably experiences the minor ones failing in-person (who knows just how many different shelters he tried to run off to??)

After a time skip KRS gets into the company and we assume life is pretty good for a while for him, under LSH's guidance and the friendship with Choi Jung Soo, as well as their other Team members... except then the Unranked Monster shows up and wipes KRS's entire Team in one go, leaving him the last and only man standing. Hello, Survivor's Guilt Part Two!

KRS attends the funeral of LSJ & CJS, only to be talked about behind his back how he's not even mourning them correctly because he's not crying (those bastards-!)

He takes upon himself to avenge LSH and the rest of the Team, because they were supposed to have back-up from a Guild which all ran away and left them to die. I suppose KRS going after them went down similarly to how he later toppled Arm and the Mogoru Empire, so let's call it his "practice run on Dismantling Corrupt Organisations"

He takes over as the Team Leader as well, overworking himself to the extreme (not even taking a single day off in the first year) to have a 0% casualty rate

He distances himself from the team in order not to suffer another heartbreak if something happens to them (also, my theory is that KRS subconsciously recognized the pattern of his Curse and made himself believe that he's a bad, selfish person who doesn't care about others... just so the Curse don't kill off his Team members this time)

Once again, he gets his body stolen without his permission – and sure, that turned out well in the end, but still: not just once, but TWICE! NOT cool, God of Death!!

He's dumped with the knowledge and responsibility of the conflicts to come in this new world, which was supposed to be originally CJS's job to fix. Come on, it's not KRS's fault he lived instead!! Not he's gotta clean up THIS mess...

Once again, Cale overworks himself white trying to achieve World Peace, because HOW is he supposed to rest if the world comes to an end around him – AGAIN!?

Cale's body wastes away from continuously sacrificing himself (while claiming that he isn't sacrificing himself) and keeps falling into a coma from Ancient Powers overuse

He breaks his plate in the battle at the Gorge of Death and suffers terribly to get it fixed

He gets a premonition that he's probably going to die around November 8th – THANKS A LOT, GOD OF DEATH!!

He also goes through a traumatic test of seeing his worst fear at the Wind Island

He attracts the attention of several nasty characters: like Adin, the White Star, or the Sealed God... which is definitely NOT a good thing

The Sealed God casually tosses him into an alternate universe to relive his greatest trauma

Cale, once again, has to solve problems in another world because he literally cannot do anything else

Also the White Star is trying to murder him in the meantime, so he suffers great physical AND mental pain at the same time - hurray!

Oh and let's not forget, now he gotta defeat the Final Boss by stabbing himself. It won't hurt, the World Tree says...? WHY DON'T I BELIEVE YOU (Also the Sealed God made sure everyone saw everything, nice going there you son of a-!)

And just when the whole thing with the White Star and the Sealed God gets resolved, the HUNTERS SHOW UP, BECAUSE WHY THE HELL NOT

And now Cale gotta go around MORE UNIVERSES to solve ALL OF THEIR PROBLEMS. ..... H o w n i c e

To shortly sum all of Cale's traumatic experiences:

Bodysnatched: x2

Cursed with loneliness and misfortune

Orphaned

Abused

Lived in poverty

Target of attempted assassination (also used as bait for assassins)

Had his head tampered with

Lived through an apocalypse

Trapped under a building (hello potential claustrophobia!)

Starved

Chased down by monsters

Bullied

Survivor's guilt: x2

Betrayed by allies

Forced into leadership

*Body dysphoria due to scars (forgot to mention that earlier)

Impostor syndrome: x2 (for both becoming the Team Leader and becoming Cale Henituse)

Judged for coping mechanisms

Regularly gets hurt and falls into coma

Near death experiences: x[INFINITE]

Forced to experience his worst nightmare

Forced into self-harm

Forced to save the world: x? (at least 3 times and the counter is still rising!?)

Basically, this man's life maybe have gotten better in the past 2 years... but his life is still hell 😅

(I blame you, God of Death – WHY would you consider reincarnation a good punishment?? And a CONTAGIOUS CURSE which affects the victims of your target!? This is all your fault.

...But mostly the Hunters' fault, obviously.)

#tcf #trash of the count's family #lcf #lout of the count’s family #cale henituse #cale #tcf cale #angst #cale's like: why are you doing this to me?? #and the universe's like: because we're delta airlines! #AND LIFE IS A F***ING NIGHTMARE~! #poor cale #cale deserves better #good thing he is gonna get back at all those bastards

Got any Farah, Valeria, & Laswell hcs? Anything, really- I'm dying for my girls 🤲🤲🤲

Hello! Yeah, I was able to come up with a few! I already wrote a few for Valeria here! Somehow, I forgot to put them in my masterlist, though, which I have since fixed! Thank you for making me aware of this, though :-) These are general Headcanons, though, since I had an easier time coming up with those and because you didn't specify, I hope that's okay!

Valeria, Farah and Laswell HCs

Valeria: She’s always had quite the temper, even when she was young. While she may not have been spoiled to hell and back as a child, she usually got what she wanted, as long as it wasn’t something extraordinarily big, her parents always took care of her like that. Valeria loved her mother, they got along very well with each other, and she also took after her, having inherited her personality for the most part. Her father was a bit calmer than the two of them, but that didn’t mean they didn’t get along either. Whereas her mother would encourage her to do most things, her father would try to talk sense into her if it was a bad idea. She often sulked because of it, which is why she didn’t like her father as much as her mother, but as she got older she realized he meant well. Sometimes she still thinks about his advice, but the both of them died a long time ago, so most things they’ve told her are a distant memory by now. Valeria may be successful with what she’s doing and doesn’t like being told what to do, but sometimes she does wish she could still eat some sweets with her parents like she used to.

Joining the military actually wasn’t her first choice of career. She tried many places, but no one would take her, so she opted for the military, which welcomed her with open arms. She got paid. Not well, but she received the money, which was important since her parents couldn’t leave her with too much. They didn’t have very much either, so there wasn’t much to be inherited. Because she’s a woman, a few creeps tried to harass her, but she had none of it and beat all three of them up herself and on her own. Ever since that incident she wasn’t a big fan of the military either, but no other place would take her. However, it showed just how capable she was and earned her a lot of respect. A few other men would try to make advances towards her, but she shot them down every time. However, whenever another female soldier would jokingly flirt with her, that’s when she’d give it her all, making it her goal to fluster her beyond all hell. She’s spent a few evenings and nights with a few female soldiers, but was always willing to rip a male soldier’s dick off if he was being too friendly with her. During her time as a soldier she also realized that she preferred women.

She didn’t always hate Alejandro, actually. Back in the day, they got along very well. He was a man, yes, but he had enough respect for her. It wasn’t a given, even if it should have been, but she appreciated it. Whenever they sparred he gave it his all as well and never looked down on her. In his eyes, the two of them were equals and it showed. Valeria could appreciate that. She liked him, she spent a night with him but realized she hated that sort of stuff with men. He was the final realization for her that Valeria does not like men. It didn’t make her hate him at first, though. Only when he insisted on the two of them being a thing did she develop some form of disdain for him. Once she told him that she could never feel the same way, he stopped. However, he also started treating her a bit differently since he was in love with her. As he rose in ranks, he was a bit harsher on her than the other soldiers, usually dissatisfied with anything she did. He didn’t even notice that, but Valeria did. Therefore he became just another scum to her.

Farah: Before her town got attacked, she actually had a pretty happy childhood. She was sweet and kind as a kid, she got along well with her parents and her brother and she had a few close friends. Farah loved going outside to play, sometimes even inviting her parents to make potions with her in a bucket filled with water, sand and rocks. Her parents were always afraid of the Russians invading and tried to keep their children safe regardless of what happened, but in the end they were unable to. It hit Farah pretty hard, she loved her parents. Even now she misses them dearly since they always took such good care of her and her brother. At least she still had her brother. Farah knew she was the younger one out of the two of them, so she likely should have been the one to be protected, but once her town got attacked she became determined to make sure her brother would stay with her. Drastic times called for drastic measures, so she actually has killed people just so her brother could stay alive. It was around that time that other people realized how she was a very caring person still and could be trusted. Slowly, through that realization, she was able to gather a small force that could help her.

Farah is a pretty good leader. The people she works with adore her because, under that rough exterior, she’s still a good person. All her brothers and sisters know she can be trusted with just about anything. She rarely ever says no upon hearing a request of one of her people, knowing fully well what it’s like to need something. As she’s been through a lot herself, she always has an open ear for her brothers and sisters. While there’s not always time to listen to everyone’s concerns, if she does have time she’ll listen to you intently. Farah knows a lot more about her people than she lets on, that ranges from how the latest battle has gone to how her sister’s family is doing. She’s never one to turn down someone in need, always offering food and shelter. I know she may seem stern, because she has to be in order to be a good leader, but deep down she’s still the same kind girl that she’s always been. Her people would give up just about anything for her, and they do. One day, Farah dreams, Urzikstan will be free, it will be safe and it will prosper, its people won’t have anything to fear anymore. Trade will continue, the people will be happy and she can finally lay down her weary head and rest for a bit. But until then, she swore she’ll fight and fight until everything is finally over.

She’s never actually been in love. When she had the chance to develop a crush she was too young. Now that she’s older she doesn’t have time for anything lovey dovey in the slightest. Alex was the first person she ever developed a crush on. He may have seemed like an enemy at first, but it quickly enough became evident that that couldn’t be further from the truth. He was a good man, someone who could be trusted no matter what. He was loyal to a fault as well, which Farah could appreciate. However, she never told him, swallowing her feelings down instead no matter how intense they became. Yet, she sort of did always look forward to his small gestures of affection. Alex is a physically affectionate guy, so he’d sometimes pat her shoulder, put a hand on her shoulder or gently bump her arm to show he liked her. Farah is severely touch starved, so it made for a good combination. One time, he asked if she would like a hug, to which she said yes. To this day, Farah thinks about that hug since it was the first one she had received in seven or eight years. It may not have seemed like she was swayed at the time, but she was very content afterwards.

Laswell: Laswell’s parents didn’t really care too much for her. Don’t get me wrong, they provided for her physical needs, but they barely looked after her in any other regard, thinking she was happy because she had everything she could ever need. Laswell may have been strong because of it, even then, but she did wish her parents had cared more about other things as well, such as how she was doing emotionally. There were quite a few things that hurt her during her childhood, but she barely had anyone who would support her during her rough times. Her parents only ever wanted to see her happy and content, but barely made any effort to actually keep her as such. Laswell knew fairly early on that she was a lesbian and did come out to her parents, but that’s all that happened. It was never discussed again afterwards, even if her father would sometimes say that she would “find the right guy eventually” while talking to other people. Laswell has called him out on it numerous times, but he always made it about him and how he was the victim for saying something that made his daughter uncomfortable. Laswell didn’t stay in contact with her parents for very long once she moved out.

Even back when she was a child, Laswell knew she wanted to do something more exciting than be a hairdresser, waitress or cook. She wanted to do something with plenty of action, but at the same time she wanted to study and go to university. And thus she combined her wishes and started going to university at first. Afterwards, sometime in her twenties, she started to work for the CIA. She wasn’t treated with very much respect there at first, being a woman working there and all. But she didn’t let that disrespect get her down. In fact, on the outside, she stayed professional, but on the inside she took mental notes on who treated her badly and who didn’t. It soon enough became evident that Laswell knew what she was doing, even if her master’s degree should have been proof enough that there was some intelligence in that noggin of hers. However, soon enough she was transferred. In fact, she was transferred many times before she became a station chief, but it only showed just how competent she was in her field. Laswell has since saved thousands of lives and is proud of it. To her, such a thing is her calling and she wants to continue doing so for as long as she can, all the dangers be damned.

Laswell adores her wife. In fact, “Laswell” isn’t her original last name, she took that of her wife. At first they played with the idea of combining their names, but Laswell wanted fairly little to do with her parents at that point. Plus she wanted to show her father that she never “found the right guy”. So her being named Laswell is purely out of spite. While she may not be at home all the time, or very often, for that matter, she makes sure to bring her wife a gift every time she comes home. It can be something small, such as a souvenir she found while she was abroad, or it could be something along the lines of a golden ring that unfolds into an astronomical sphere. She needs to pamper her wife like that and make sure she knows Laswell loves her to the moon and back. Money isn’t an issue for her, she gets paid very well. Even if the biggest reward for her doing what she does is seeing her wife smile. Every time she sees her give her a big smile she’s reminded of why she does what she does, and that’s the most wonderful thing for her. Even so, not many people know about Laswell’s wife, only a select few do. It’s a safety measure since she knows people will target her. Although she’s a diplomatic kind of person, if anyone ever were to hurt her wife, then that person can be certain they’ll never walk freely among the sunlight again.

i’m comparing episode nagi reo vs manshine city reo. like…wow, he’s come a long way.🥹🫶🏼

it was really good to see him grow on his own w/o expecting nagi but also sad because he suffered a lot because really wanted to catch up with him and feel that he deserves to play with him again🥲

#mikage reo #bllk #blue lock #bllk reo #blue lock anime #blue lock manga #episode nagi #nanaposts(๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵) #bby yyou deserve every good thing in life <3 #imo if he continued to play with nagi and missed the opportunity to grow on his own everything he’ll gain now will be attributed to nagi #but no it’s all his hard work and his gay ass ego ahshsjskskall..

Betty is so relatable I would do the same shit for my wife

#simon petrikov #original #at #the moment where she declares that she's jumping into the future to save him. just pure save-husband impulse #and maybe she made the wrong choice but I felt the emotion in my gut and that's good tragedy baby #I would do the same thing and then be in the future and realize I probably fucked up but also what else could I do but #devote my entire life and sanity to saving her after I have destroyed every other option?? #it's not healthy necessarily but a fucking apocalypse happened and her wife is in eternal torment. what else could she possibly do?? #I'm just obsessed with the attitude she has towards saving him and how it turns from joyful heroism to unhealthy obsession #I have a much healthier relationship with my wife. but also she's never been driven mad by a magical crowd for a thousand years! #and Betty did it!! y'all can argue about whether Ice King was better than Simon and I think he must make peace with every part of himself #but it is extremely consistent in the original series that being Ice King is basically this existentially horrifying Eternal torture #so the fact that someone who loved him decided they would save him from that at all costs is very sad and very beautiful #beautiful because no one deserves to suffer forever. tragic because she was far to willing to take his place if she had to. #betty grof #fionna and cake #golbetty #golb #*driven mad by a magical crown #you forgot your floaties #edit: upon rewatching every episode with betty in it i will say i don't think i would be so hellbent on murdering the person she had become #betty does act selfishly and it makes her character more compelling #but i like to think if my wife went banana-pants ice-king-level bonkers i would be able to love that version of her too #but who's to say whether this story would be the reason I responded differently? #it's a good story

I spent, like, a half hour looking for this clip because I think that you all need to see it.

Quackity:

"That's one of the cooler things. I saw a creator from Brazil, it seems, who actually claimed that they were getting people-someone who's not in the QSMP-they said they were getting people in their chat who doesn't-who don't speak Portuguese. It's a Brazilian creator who's not even on QSMP, and he was talking about the effects-possibly-of that crossing of communities with the QSMP. Which is amazing, and I find that so, so cool. And it makes me really happy because, at the end of the day, that's what-that's what the server is meant to do-is help communities from different parts of the world cross each other. And I find it amazing. What I find so beautiful about this chat specifically is that being the English streams, English is the more common language spoken, right? And what I find so amazing about this chat is when something funny happens I see people saying 'hahaha' in English, 'jajaja' in Spanish, and the 'kkkk', which is how, you know, Portuguese speaking people usually type to laugh. And that's amazing. That's three different languages in one chat and I think that kind of crossover is so incredibly important."

(ignore the odd title, not my video, but important anyhow)

>>>

When I give praise for Quackity, for the QSMP as a whole, this is why. Quackity is genuinely doing some groundbreaking stuff, and I think that, in a sense, he's paving the way for future creators.

#qsmp #quackity #this is why I say Quackity deserves streamer of the year #and I know it's such a cheesy thing to say #but I circle back to this clip time and time again #because it just kind of punches me in the gut #this man has done so much for streaming and he deserves all the good things that come his way #qsmp quackity #transcript #if I wrote this paragraph in an assignment my language arts teacher would shoot me dead /srs #she would hate me SO much #I have the Portuguese reading comprehension of a two year old child who has seen a total of five books in their life #but I still find myself hoping onto Portuguese streams and struggling my way though Portuguese media #I can't understand much #and I can communicate even less #but I still join in #And it's because of the QSMP. Because of the things Quackity has done and because of every streamer on the QSMP #guest streamers and all #and every streamer on Karmaland as an extension #They're paving a new path when it comes to streaming #That's a fact that shouldn't be taken lightly #Youtube

Star Flower, loner, Medic of SkyClan

She/Her, cis bisexual

Mother: Turnip

Father: One Eye

Adoptive Father: Skystar

Siblings: Unnamed, all deceased.

Design notes:

-She is styled after the Pokemon, Ogerpon

-The plants are a physical part of her body. They grow out of her.

-She is the physical embodiment of The Blazing Star.

Story notes: [Abuse CW]

-She was born as a normal kitten to a traveling band of rogues who loved to trade and spread their music. Unfortunately, this band died out to a plague, one that nearly took her own life. Desperate to save his family, her father Carrot traveled to a set of tunnels in Sanctuary Lake rumored to house a reality-bending god. He asked the god for a cure, and the god asked for his eye in return. They made the exchange, and he retrieved a glowing, golden, five pointed flower. However, he was too late to save most of his family, so the entire cure went to his surviving kit. He wasn't expecting her to survive the night given her fragile state and the dubiousness of the exchange...

-But the next morning, she was perfectly fine- great, even. If a little... odd... were those buds growing on her paws...?

-It only got stranger from there. When Carrot ended up finding more cats suffering from the plague, just a few calming purrs from his kit seemed to have them ripe and ready to go the next morning. Carrot understood then what had happened- his kit had become the cure herself. And cats were starting to look towards them more, started begging for her healing, for anything. And Carrot had lost everything... wasn't it time to start winning stuff back?

-And so, the pair became One Eye and Star Flower, for recognition's sake. The two formed their own small group, filled with cats Star Flower had healed. Star Flower loved to spread her magic where she went, to save cats from the brink of death and be showered with their love and appreciation. They felt like they owed a great debt to her, and she enjoyed that.

-She was very close with her father, even if their relationship could be strained. One Eye loved her, but to an extent, he also used her. He grew arrogant in his success, believing he had become the accomplice to a god, and began to hold that over cats who fell sick. He grew desperate for control and Star Flower was his key to that.

-One day, however, her father's group encountered the early clans. They were just beginning to settle down, work out their new rules, and declare borders. But what caught the group's attention was the near murder of a young kittypet, almost mauled to death by proto-SkyClan's leader, Skystar. Unable to heal wounds with her magic, Star Flower managed to bring the cat to a twoleg, who took her away.

-Appalled by the cruelty, Star Flower took a great interest in Skystar's group, and witnessed several of his other crimes against his cats and the other groups. As did One Eye, who, seeing the early signs of a plague, had an idea to put this cat and the other leaders in their place.

-One Eye and Star Flower joined the group, with One Eye acting as a curious loner, flattering Skystar with praise. Skystar enjoyed his company, and so One Eye grew in the rank rather quickly. He also took a great interest in Star Flower and her abilities. After murdering Tom, who insulted the cats and attempted to attack them, One Eye took the chance to take control over the group, overpowering Skystar and using Star Flower's power to keep the remaining cats in line- everything is going to be okay, you'll get your cure... if you stay in line and do as One Eye says.

-This went on for a moon, of Star Flower holding her magic over the heads of her clients to keep their loyalty towards One Eye. She would be lying if she said she didn't feel pride at it all at helping her father.

-Ultimately, One Eye was overthrown and killed when Skystar came back with reinforcements from the other clans. The rest of the rogues they'd accumulated ran off, and suddenly, Star Flower was alone. She'd never been without her father, and running would mean abandoning his grave, which she didn't want. But... this place had been a home to her for some time now, and she needed a place to stay. SkyClan had taken all of the available territory in the area, anyways, and she was in no shape to brave the other territories or twolegplace. So she offered her power to SkyClan as a peace offering and asked for shelter in return.

-Skystar was still sore from the event, but he couldn't deny that having Star Flower as an asset would be beneficial to him in the long run. And around this point, his son Thunderstar had disowned him and split off ThunderClan from SkyClan. He felt that he was losing allies, losing family, and he latched on to desperate Star Flower very quickly- as a cat who would never disobey him.

-Skystar takes Star Flower under his wing as his new child, her new ward, instating her as a medic. And because she is loyal to a fault, she won't disobey a new leader so similar to her father. And so, he pushes her to do humiliating things in front of the camp, ranging from general chores like tick baths, to forcing her to run laps around camp with an injury if she took too long to work her magic. He would take out his frustration from gatherings on her and berate her over the most menial things. He would make her withhold her power to help anyone in the clan who had displeased him. And if Star Flower ever tried to stick up for herself, all he had to do was remind her of what she did, how she helped torment his cats by holding a cure over their heads to help out her father.

-This went on for years, Star Flower becoming more and more despondent. One night, there was a particularly stressful gathering, in which Skystar got into a territorial dispute with Thunderstar over a pack of dogs ravaging the territories. He lost the dispute, came home, and immediately took it out on Star Flower, shouting at and attacking the molly for "taking too much food she didn't deserve". And something in Star Flower finally snapped, and for the first time, she didn't save a life- she took one. And another. And another. As many as what remained in Skystar's soul. She was discovered taking his very last life in his nest, while she was wondering if she could pin it on the dogs. She escaped the camp, and wandered the territory for the rest of her life.

-Unfortunately, while she finally won against Skystar in the moment, it was history who decided the victor. Sparrowstar declared that they couldn't let a tragedy like this happen ever again, and doubled down on banishing rogues. Every rogue-born cat was looked at with suspicion from then on, and as the decades began to pass, Star Flower's story became twisted and bent. As the story is told, a rogue had infiltrated SkyClan's camp asking for help, but had manipulated and charmed the leader with her prowess and rose in the ranks just high enough to take him out and attempt to claim his spot. Her story was used as a cautionary tale against rogues, warning cats against those who would infiltrate the camp and rot it from the inside. Eventually, even her true name was lost to time...

Rotten Flower, Warrior of The Dark Forest

Skystar didn't hesitate to throw her in the depth of the Dark Forest when she died. She wears her mask constantly, trying to keep away from the sickness of the muck. She's embraced the false myth made about her, claiming to have killed a founder for power and prestige. But in reality, it's been so long that she's forgotten her family, her power, her name. She barely even remembers Skystar himself. Though she's admired in the Dark Forest for her achievements, she doesn't hang around anyone, and acts hostile to those who approach her.

Perhaps someone can help her remember who she truly is...?

#changing up the way I do these! wanna make it a bit more clear this is all an au #might go back and update those older posts #anyways...i blorbo'd her. i know everyone likes making her a femme fatale and thats awesome and cool and great if you do that #but man... in canon shes so tragic. shes not allowed to be a person. just a tool for one eye then an object for clear sky #shes treated as evil for warning her dad about an ambush and shes gotta humilate herself for forgiveness. like... man. i wanted to lean int #that. like shes still screwed up for helping her dad use her magic to control people especially during the plague but she didnt deserve thi #also dw she DOES leave the dark forest. she escapes. homegirl does get better #star flower #warriors #wc #warrior cats #dotc #dawn of the clans #skyclan #dark forest #razorverse #anyways i may revise this overtime.... i dont want this to just come across as like. starf suffering hour #she had good parts of her life. i kinda want to make her and bumble friends #edit: i retooled star flower to be skystar's adoptive daughter once thunderstar disowns him #i wanted to play with the original text but. that sort of thing just skeeves me out way too much sorry. so im gutting it #you already know he sucks. i dont want to do any more than that.

[greenerteacups]

Hi! I made this account just so I could interact with you like this and tell you that your writing got me back out of a reading slump! Should you ever choose to author and publish a book please let me know, I will be the first to pick it up at the nearest bookstore available. I'm very excited to see where you take us in the fifth installment of your rewrite for this series! And quick question, which Hogwarts house do you align yourself with? ∼ Cheers and much love from an anonymous Hufflepuff

You're so incredibly sweet, thank you for warming my heart on a very cold day. Hearing someone say 'I would pay for your work' is kind of the highest compliment a fanfic author can receive. In the meantime, it's my honor to give you something that you can enjoy for free!

I waffle on the House question, since my view on Sorting is very contextual and volitional. Like, Sorting happens when you're eleven, right after you're boated up to the castle in this big stinking display of magical grandeur that's probably shit-slapping levels of scary, and then you get stood up in front of every peer you have and asked to decide what you want your place in that universe to be. That makes for some panicky, spur-of-the-moment decision-making! No wonder a lot of pureblood kids default to the House their parents picked! No wonder Harry ends up Gryffindor basically by default after blurting "not Slytherin" (which is the Hat's first suggestion — remember that the first two things Harry wants to do when he finds out he's a wizard are (1) jinx Dudley (avenge himself) and (2) buy a pure golden cauldron (status symbol). Canon!FirstYear!Harry is like, probably a Slytherin by temperament, being a neglected eleven-year-old child who's almost violently desperate for safety and approval and love, but that's okay, because being in Gryffindor turns him into one. Ron Weasley, in particular, turns him into one, but that's too much for me to get into right now.) Obviously, this all informs a lot of how I write character and socialization in Lionheart. House isn't destiny, it's culture! I could go on.

So like, if you sorted me right now? Gryffindor. Because I think bravery is the most important value in my life, it's what reminds me to be kind and patient and thoughtful, because it takes bravery to do those things in a world that is, frankly, much easier to navigate if you shut yourself off to others' feelings and ideas. But it's also a much worse world. That doesn't mean I'm not ambitious or curious or loyal, it just means that bravery is the value I consciously try to practice. But if you Sorted me at eleven, I'd probably get Slytherin, because I was — without doing The Backstory of it all — not the most jazzed-to-be-alive child, and I really, badly, desperately wanted to GTFO of my hometown and like — I dunno, succeed so hard it retroactively justified every time I was ever lonely? Somehow?? Details of that plan were always a bit unclear. But general "I am going to get a good grade in Life, something that is reasonable to want and possible to achieve" type vibes. Horrendous. Point being, I'd have likely asked for the House I identified with at eleven — Slytherin — because I considered "ambition" the most important virtue of my (again: eleven-year-old) life so far. (This is assuming that I don't run into a Hermione- or Ron-type character who warns me away from all the pureblood/classist nastiness; if that happened, I'd probably end up in Ravenclaw.)

I have no idea whether the Hat would have agreed with me. In canon, we never see it actually veto a choice, only grant requests. Which makes me wonder — if someone asked for a House that they were really, profoundly ill-suited for (as I think some of the canonical Slytherins might have done), what would it do?

#footnote to the last paragraph that I find fun is that lionheart!draco doesn't initially ask the hat for Slytherin #he's so carried off in the assumption that he'll end up there he doesn't bother to ask #but this is draco's problem #he splits up all goods into “things i deserve” and “things i don't deserve” #so as a kid it doesn't occur to him that he doesn't “deserve” to be in slytherin #and that the hat wouldn't as such immediately acknowledge that fact #which of course. prevents him from actually. yknow. asking for it. #blessed little idiot. see? do you see how asking nicely could have improved your life?? #another possible subtitle for LH tbh. #greenteacup asks

i think this time of year is cursed

#last year i got horribly sick and depressed #this year i had to flee my dorm and miss classes to keep myself safe from harassment until i could work out moving times #im so fucking angry i am fuming i am furious i want to scream #i did absolutly nothing to deserve this. this wasnt a mutual argument this wasn’t a bad roomate thing this was a person using the fact that #i am a traumatized trans person to intimidate and harass me and make me feel unwelcome in my housing #i feel sick with rage. #im well liked on campus im doing fantastic in all my classes i am doing everything i can #and one person decided he hated me and fucked up my entire semester #the good thing is i am never sleeping there again. i am not returning to that dorm until i am there to move out and i am greatful #but im just so upset about the whole thing. #everyone on campus agrees i did nothing. that i didnt cause this. but i still have to carry the burden of moving #he will be talked to and i dont think he will ever feel welcome on campus after this but i am so angry he thinks so little of me he thought #he could make my life hell and face no punishment for it.

(oc ask game) 7, 8, 9 for adam turner?

Adam Turner:

What triggers nostalgia for them, most often? Do they enjoy that feeling?

The sound of music boxes. He doesn't like how it makes him feel. He feels like he's forgotten something. Something important.

What were they told to stop/start doing most often as a child?

Getting angry and biting or physically hurting other children and scaring them. He was often made to stay apart from other kids at the orphanage unless he was supervised, and his behaviour was often the reason why his foster families gave him back up. Eventually, he was taken off the foster list due to his behavioural issues.

Do they swear? Do they remember their first swear word?

He does, but not very often. He doesn't remember the first time he swore or what cuss word it was.
