#i wanted to include more but these are just hte ones i thought of first so :]

[sweet-potato-42]

purgatory fueled my obsession for people management stuff and i have many thoughts about team compositions

i think it was a fun idea and I hope the admins see how it went this time and learn from the teams. They did a good job and looking back some stuff could be improved but still they succeeded.

Most of my suggestions for improvement are for ways to balance out viewership and reducing the drama sicne that was a big issue in the first purgatory. It was overwhelmingly one team and people dont understand how to deal with a biased POV on both sides.

So imma ramble about stuff to consider when making purgatory teams. I admit this is mostly about red and blue teams since i dont know much about how green worked:

Players minecraft skill: this one is obvious you dont want one team to be compeltely overpowering the rest. This includes pvp, building, resource gathering etc. There has to be a balance in how many can do each thing as well

how much time they play: another obvious one all teams need people who play a lot to have a good chance. Also consider the timezones so that they can actually play together

compatibility between members: there has to be a balance between people who get along well and those who dont. This one was missed in purgatory sicne red had many members who were already close to each other and played together a lot. On the other hand blue had mostly players who didnt interact much and even some who did not get along at all (tubbo and aypierre) or who dont work well together (tina and bbh)

Viewership of the members: this one is not for gameplay but for the experience for both streamers and the community. We clearly saw that red had overwhelmingly more viewers than the rest causing a large bias towards them in the community. Even ccs mentioned this one so it is a big thing to consider

consider the playstyles of the members: the audence of qsmp is primarily here for the rp and story so obviously the team that had the most who did that was easily the most popular. Red team did an amazing job with the rp and building an identity the audience got attached to. The blue team was more competitive and it was amazing for those who are more interested in those elements or who are very invested in the characters. Neither playstyle is better but its good to consider a balance so that we dont again get most people attached to a single group

So overall I would make the teams a lot more balanced in these ways so that not only is the competition fun but also there is less drama in the community

I think if a streamer feels the need to say that the other team was the main charcter of the story then something was wrong there

in the end however id say the priority is making sure the competition feels tense and its not just a single team sweeping the whole game. which is why the constant rule changing was good it kept hte game balanced

#qsmp #qsmp purgatory #i rambled #yes my favourite part of genshin was the team building #the admins did a great job in the end #i dont care how much drama i will forever love purgatory i was so obsessed during it #incredibly fun #will never forget that time tubbo logged on last minute when blue was down to less than 10% and just pulled hte most insane cluth ever #ALSO THE CURSED TEAM THING WAS A HUGE MISTAKE ON THE ADMINS PART THAT CAUSED SO MUCH DRAMA #part of the issues blue had with leadership was that from the start it was wayyyy harder for them. #red team had the skill disadvantage but the friends advantage. By the end of purgatory the only ones who played were friends beforehand

something terrible and extremely lesbian has happened in the lastest au of my oc ro's game aoiejaoifw she has now possibly gotten a *check's notes* 9th future wife

the initial set up for her entire character being made was literally my wife and i wanting to tell a gr*y's style hospital drama but EXTREMELY LESBIAN. she started off w this kind of like. idk. irredeemably fucked up woman named gabrielle pierce who lies to ro their entire relationship and avoids telling her anything deep about herself, including the fact that she's fucking married until her wife shows up and does a play on the classic addison line of "you must be the woman fucking my [wife]"

but. for our latest au we wanted to make pierce more redeemable. the good news: we succeeded. the bad news: we succeeded so well that she's been added to the polycule. (rest under the cut bc i rambled a bit too much)

it's honestly like. kind of a beautiful story afeoijaofiewja i didn't find her irredeemable the first time around bc the entire reason they broke up was a tragic story about her and her wife's baby dying and them separating because of it (they've never been actively together during the cheating, always separated; ro's just mad that she wasn't told the full truth) but what DID make her untouchable to me was that she used to bully one of the other of ro's ROs years earlier in college bc she was sad and broken and thought that the other woman had this perfect little life when really she was fucked up too

but now they're all getting a chance to heal together and IT'S SO CUTE AOIFEJAOIJ it's still in hte early stages of "oh shit i still have feelings for her years later and she's been working on herself and oh shit how do i explain this to anyone fuck lmao" but i think it has the potential to be so sweet. the entire group of them are all mildly traumatized and extremely neurodivergent so i think it will be good for pierce to go from having pushed everyone away to being surrounded by people who care for her aofijwaoeifa

anyway the moral of this story is that i can't resist sad girls in ttrpgs and ABSOLUTELY HAVE to make them happy by any means necessary but especially by kissing means :/

#ro's ROs #oc: romy cho #ro x pierce #this game is honestly like. #so ridiculous #but all of the characters feel so cozy and like home #i love my little lesbians so much #ttrpg rambles

[fancyfade]

Stephanie Brown

First impression: NGL I kind of just thought she was there. I did not have very strong opinions on her one way or the other

Impression now: I like her pretty well. I feel like she can get flattened both in fanon and canon sometimes especially when they want to shave off her rough edges to slot her more into the conventional 'girl' role

Favorite moment: hmmm her visiting her dad in jail to punch him is definitely one... I also like hte scene where she visits cass to train with her and cass thinks she doesn't really care and tries to like 'scare' her off by being super intense and then is pleasantly surprised when she doesn't (link) honorable mentions: Her spitting zsasz' own blood in his eye (link)

Idea for a story: Hmmm I really want to see steph addressing how the rest of the batfam treated her pre her return. Because Cass, Tim, and Bruce were all consistently not great, (Cass being better than Bruce and Tim, but still clearly didn't view her as an equal)

Unpopular opinion: I actually don't include babs in the list of batfam members who failed her because when i was re-reading the comics pretty much... the only reason she stopped training with BoP was they were going on a dangerous mission and dinah didn't want to take her along? It didn't seem like they were doing any hazing or 'oh you're good no you're not good you can help but you're not an equal' thing, just babs was not engaged with her much at all

Favorite relationship: Her and Cass's relationship with all its flaws

Favorite headcanon: dating tim made her realize she didn't want to date any boys XD

Let Me Be Your Good Night (Rated M) [Critical Role - Jester Lavorre/Beauregard Lionett]

Content Warnings: N/A

Prompt: Chopped Choice: Smut / Theme: Canonverse - Tropes: Based on a Song (Temporary Fix by One Direction), Almost kiss/interrupted before kissing, Friends with benefits, POV Switch

Summary: There’s an idea brewing in Jester's eyes, something that always fills Beau with equal parts excitement and apprehension. Sometimes Jester’s ideas are mischievous and marvelous, sometimes they’re chaotic and concerning, and sometimes it’s hard to tell which until after it’s done. “What if you taught me?” Jester says. Beau blinks. “What?” “You could teach me,” Jester says. “You have experience. You know how to… you know.” Beau blinks more. “Are you propositioning me?” Or, Jester wants experience, Beau has experience, it just makes sense. Girls helping girls, you know? It doesn't have to mean anything... right?

I ain't gotta tell him (I think he knows) (Rated M) [The Old Guard - Yusuf/Nicolo (Joe/Nicky)]

Content Warnings: N/A

Prompt: Chopped Choice: Smut / Theme: Canonverse - Tropes: One character writes the other a smutty letter, Masturbation, One character gives the other a gift, Reunion

Summary: When Nicolo and Yusef are apart, they write each other letters. They can't always say everything they want to say, but they always know what the other means. I am enclosing a small token that I obtained from an artist in town; I thought you might enjoy it. He’s a talented woodworker who creates many intricate pieces – animals, plants, even buildings. This particular design is rather simple, but I thought it might interest you. The long, rounded, slightly textured shape feels familiar and yet somehow abstract, able to be interpreted in a multitude of ways. The surface is smooth under your fingers and finished to a warm glow – it is quite nice to the touch. I hope this gift will make you think of me with pleasure.

You've Got The Kind of Eyes That Make Me Say Forever (Rated M) [The 100 - Echo/Luna]

Content Warnings: N/A

Prompt: Chopped: HTE 2.0 / Theme: Fluff - Tropes: Fake dating, A joke kiss that turns into a real kiss, Blanket fort, One character is sleeping and the other is watching them totally in love

Summary: "It started with a cat." Echo gets dragged to a cat cafe where she meets a pretty girl. Raven is an insufferable best friend and Echo is a little bit of a chicken. A chance encounter leads to a fake date to a wedding. But a happily ever after might just be possible, with a little help from an unlikely source. All fluff and sweetness. And the cutest cat.

but I'd be content with time well spent (savor the taste of sugar) (Rated G) [Shadow and Bone - Kaz/Inej]

Content Warnings: N/A

Prompt: Chopped Choice 1.0 / Theme: Canonverse - Tropes: 4+1, Character not looking for love, Mistaken for a couple, POV Switch

Summary: “Inej couldn’t reconcile Kaz’s sweet tooth with his resistance to affection and love, nor with the fact that acts of service were one of her love languages - particularly, cooking for her loved ones. If there were any universal truths to be known about Inej, it was that she loved Kaz. Begrudgingly, annoyingly, carefully so, but she loved him, which meant she had, on more than one occasion, cooked for and fed him.” or 4 times Inej fed Kaz + 1 time he returned the favor

*cracks knuckles* YESSSS Tell me about ANGST LEL and MORE ANGST LEL as well as Panting harshly (I have an idea, but humor me)

EHIJedJDILKFJI i am ANGRYYYY i dont know what THE FUCK happened but i just lost EVERYTHING i wrote while i was answering this AND IT WAS A LOT GODFUCIKING DAMMIT I HATE THIS COMPUTER SOMETIMES WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK NOW I HAVE TO WRITE IT ALL OVER AGAIN I’M PISSED AKJIAOEFJIHUALJFA;OIHAFJFH SA;DJIFIAFDKI UUUGGGHHH

aight imma be lazy and write a condensed version of what i previously wrote because it was a lot aldjaifh 

so for the two angst plots, both are similar in plot but with only one difference: who is being controlled. the first one (ANGST LEL) goes like this: 

Inuyasha gets captured by some kind of sorceress/mage/powerful woman of some kind. He wakes up half naked with just his hakama on, wrists shackled in some kind of demon resistant chains that the more he struggles the more powerful they become or something idk he can’t escape them. Chains are connected to two trees or something with him standing between them. Kagome is nowhere in sight and he starts panicking, calling out, but the one who answers is not Kagome, but some woman in very skimpy clothing who appears instead. He starts being all tough hanyou, threatening, blah blah blah where’s Kagome, I’ll kill you and all that stuff but she merely smirks at him and ignores his questions.

so basically Inuyasha is taken “prisoner” to do the evil mage/witch’s bidding, and yeah that includes servicing her and to ensure this, she uses Kagome as a bargaining chip: “Do what I say or she dies.” and he knows she’s not bluffing because she’s already proven several times over she holds her life in her hands; a flick of her wrist and Kagome is riddled with cuts and bruises and can inflict pain with a mere thought. of course we all know Inuyasha will do anything to keep her alive/unharmed so he agrees. 

The evil bitch brands Inuyasha with enchanted tattoos so she can control him at her will, literally make her move the way she wants so he has no choice but to do as she says, even when he fights against it. basically his free will gets violently taken away from him and there’s fuck all he can do about it.

--

the second angsty plot i.e. MORE ANGST LEL: Kagome gets possessed/overtaken or something by a really powerful force by some evil demon dude and it makes her into some sort of emotionless zombie that obeys evil demon’s order’s without question. It’s like she’s locked in her own mind, eyes and face totally blank, devoid of any emotion. No matter what Inuyasha says or does she won’t respond to him; her eyes are dead, her skin was pale and cold. 

Stuff happens and then at one point, when Inuyasha realizes he and she are completely at evil demon’s mercy he begs Kagome to say something, anything to let her know she’s still there, that she sees him, but she is completely unresponsive, just staring blankly through him and not at him.  In a last ditch effort he darts forward and kisses her because it has to get some kind of reaction from her, even if it was a slap or a sit or kissing him back. anything was better than this emotionless statue she had become.

But still she doesn’t respond, her mouth and body still against him and that’s when he begins to realize he’s lost her. 

“Kiss me back,” he begged her, hands cupping her face, his eyes pricking with tears. “Kiss me back, Kagome, please. Please.” He was growing increasingly desperate as he deepened the kiss, the tears running down his cheeks now.

--

now for panting harshly (this is where tumble decided to be a bitch and erASE EVERYTHING I’D WRITTEN HALFWAY THROUGH): 

Kagome is an alaska and she’s a photographer/researcher/scientist or something idk what yet, and one day she’s just minding her own business, doing her job when suddenly she starts getting shot at by The Bad Guys. but fEAR NOT because she’s saved by a mysterious Hot Guy with a Gun and he starts shooting back and he’s talking to people over a radio and Kagome is like WHAT HTE FUCK IS HAPPENING and he’s like I’M SAVING YOUR LIFE IDIOT NOW MOVE so Kagome does but she’s so confused and they trudge through the snow while her savior is returning fire. and if you don’t know who her savior is them shame on you

now as it turns out, Kagome actually went to high school with her mysterious savior but she doesn’t recognize him because back then he looked LEAGUES different than he does now. back in school Inuyasha was a nobody. he of course immediately recognizes who she is. back when he was in school he was invisible, didnt have friends, and he was skinny and scrawny and quiet. back then he’d had the biggest crush on Kagome and often day dreamed what it’d be like to be with her. fast forward to the present and Inuyasha was no longer the skinny nobody at school: his hair was longer, he was taller, he had MUSCLES now hell yeah. 

but anyway. this story is gonna be action packed and intense and its gonna have ALL the sexual tension and smoots. :> and im gonna end it there before dumblr decides to be a bitch again and DELETE EVERYTHING I WROTE bitter no im not bitter ajdfioajf

Alright Ep 6!

Fair warning, this one includes end-game spoilers/end of anime spoilers (at least, I assume--I dunno if they revealed it yet in the show?  If not it’ll be reveled next episode anyway I imagine seeing as...  Not including that would 100% completely change every aspect of the ending)

Lmao nice shift after that absolutely shit-eating grin you ended the last ep on, Asshole Jesus.

I want to punch him so bad.  So.  Bad.  I love him but I want to kick his ass.

Joshy-boy knows he’s untouchable lmao.

Oooooh, Neku broke Asshole Jesus’ phooooooone.

I do like how they had a bit of a sequence elaborating a bit more on the creating of a Taboo Noise Refinery Sigil

asdlkfjasd  Neku has been body slammed out of the way of danger like 3 times in the last like 2 minutes lmao.  Also the Delinquent Reaper is back!

That’s actually a really interesting translation for this part--I admit my knowledge of Japanese is beyond basic but I do know a few handfuls of words/concepts.

Beat specifically uses “sempai” here but his body language, facial expression, and the way he speaks as he says the word are very clearly derogatory so I think the use of “old timer” works well in English to convey the idea of “person with seniority (that I absolutely do NOT fucking respect)”  (Kariya, of course, Gives No Fucks in return)

sdajkhfasdjf  JUST.  JUST FUCKING LEVITED HIM RIGHT UP AND DRAGGED HIM OFF LMAO.  Also an interesting way to showcase him losing the pendant.

Ahhh, they shuffled the conversation a bit, here we have that happening, I was expecting it last episode when they met and Josh pointed out that winning doesn’t always mean getting brought back

Actually got 2 convos going on here.  First, it’s interesting--Neku wondering “Does Josh have a reason, too?  A reason he killed me?”  (Not in so many words but basically.

And then you contrast that serious point...  With Josh being like “lol not my fault the phone broke that was Neku’s doing” XD

Honestly, the washed out look of the RG people is working so well to contrast with the recurring Red Skull Pins, it really helps draw the eye to them immediately.  The RSPs are also a bit washed out, but not entirely--an excellent visual representation of the fact that they exist in the RG but very clearly (as was seen in an earlier episode as well as previous one with Josh’s tracker picking ‘em up) hold some connection to the UG as well. 

oh because THAT’S not an ominous facial expression at all.

sdzljfasdjlkf  I lost it at this, the just.  Delivery of hte lines is A+++, absolute perfection

Neku’s little freak out is so cute, he’s having his mind blown in a much better way than usual.

oooooooooh stars, oh sweet sky help me, his blush is so cute, this BOY IS SO PRECIOUS i want to give him a hug (he certainly deserves one)

HIS FACE IS JUST TOO CUTE

Mmmm, more RSPs being showcased.  They’re really going heavy on the washed out look for the people in the RG to emphasize the appearance of the RPSs.

Lmao Josh’s tired of Neku’s fanboying.  Well, shoulda thought of that before you told him the secret identity of his idol lmao.  You brought that on yourself, dude.

dksjfasdkf Neku sweetie you’re so cute

At least nobody is around to see your despair--well, aside from Prissy Boy anyway.

...So this is the second time this...  Red-washed concert or something has been shown, last time it was in the BG.  The fact that the shot zoomed in on it, and that it’s red feels significant for some reason.

Heh.  We’ve seen that Noise symbol before

Remember this, from episode 2?  (again, interesting to point out the significantly overcast appearance here which I mentioned in the last post)

JESUS BEAM JESUS BEAM JESUS BEAM JESUS BEAM JESUS BEAM JESUS BEAM JE--

this part is massive ending spoilers for the game/show.

Mmm, I know I mentioned last post that the anime (and game) were pretty implicative that Josh offed himself for the game, and then this episode (and slightly after that in the game) brings up that in this case he’s “playing while alive”, but I stand by my theory just as I’ve held that theory for absolute ages.

That entire conversation seemed to indicate it was about the more distant past--as in, before Josh’s current situation in the UG.  As in, back when he was alive.  We know he’s not technically alive-alive in the sense that the never dead or reborn players are due to what he is.  It feels like it’s being more clear about implying that, when he first entered the UG before the current situation, it was by intentional choice.

Of course, can’t fault Kariya for assuming Josh’s a living player that snuck into the game and all.  He’d have never had reason to come into contact with what Josh is before this, after all--he’d simply never have any reason to know the truth.

lol he tossed them treats Asshole Jesus wiped out the Taboo Noise for him

Neku’s entire thing where he loses it at Josh here is just wonderfully emotive, it really comes to life well in the anime.

f u c k, that was a low blow even for you dude.

Noooot helping your creepy stalker vibes Josh, noooot helping them lol.

Interesting take, J-boy.

Well, Pi-Face sure has been having fun making minions

And that’s a wrap for ep 6.

[tanoraqui]

ok my last review of my own SPN fic from the early 2010s gets its own post bc the other two were getting long and honestly this was more Good Omens fic than anything. Literally I lost steam on it when faced with the prospect of writing Supernatural characters other than Crowley (the fic, of course, being centered around the idea that What if That Was Proper, GO Crowley, and if so, How).

Once More Unto the Breach proposes that, shortly after the events of Good Omens, Aziraphale was yanked back to Heaven and tortured for a while until he, ah, saw the light again (with input of later seasons, I suppose I’d include Naomi in this somewhere), and Crowley was yanked back to Hell where he was tortured...and just kinda. Tortured. A lot. And had his grace stripped out, this one of the last of the angels who’d followed Lucifer in his fall (and idea SPN never got into but hella could’ve tbh; it fucks). And then, now that he was basically a normal mortal, for some reason they dropped him back in the timestream in like 1500s? Scotland with no memory, planning to let him lead a normal human life and then SURPRISE you’re back in Hell! Bitch! Suffer! 

Except instead of leading a normal human life, he (per canon spn) sold his soul to a crossroads demon for a bigger dick, and then, uhhhh, paperwork got lost and he just kinda ended up in the shuffle as a normal demon working his way up through the ranks, eventually becoming the SPN!Crowley we know? Aziraphale, meanwhile, has been sent out again to participate in the newly destined Apocalypse, Michael vs. Lucifer - ineffable!

And then, ofc, they meet a time or two...mostly very awkward and Aziraphale is like, “he’s superficially familiar but no, it’s obviously not My Crowley - who was evil and lied to me, ofc”, and Crowley is like, “what a weirdo.”

The Apocalypse fails to happen again. Aziraphale attempts to quietly duck out of Heavenly duties and resume his bookstore in London. Ch.2 of this fic - which I wrote! - is a pretty solid fic all on its own, of alternatingly Castiel’s and Raphael’s side showing up and trying to persuade him to join their team, and Aziraphale trying very hard to politely send them away before eventually snapping and joining Castiel. In the middle of a fight in a random heaven that happens to be an early 19th century British Navy ship in the height of a storm, because fanfiction is for SELF-INDULGENCE and nothing else.

Actually, u know what, just

“Is that so,” Ezekiel asked softly, playing with his blades. He had three now, his own and Castiel’s. “And how, exactly, are you going to stop me?

Aziraphale made up his mind. “He’s not,” said the bookseller, stepping between them and spreading his wings like a shield in front of the wounded rebel. “I will.”

“What are you doing?” hissed Castiel. “You do not need to die!”

Ezekiel laughed. “You?” He stepped back mockingly, and spread his arms in challenge. “Little brother, you are even lower class than the pathetic excuse for an angel cowering behind you. Who are you to challenge I, Ezekiel, Weapons Master of the Heavenly Host?”

Aziraphale stood up straight, spreading his wings wider. Lightning flashed for the first time in the tempestuous sky above, illuminating their feathery expanse.

“I am Aziraphale,” he stated, “Guardian of the Eastern Gate of Eden.” The scabbard appeared at his side like it always did, like it hadn’t done for over 6000 years. He reached down and drew the sword, hilt conforming perfectly to his grip. The blade caught fire instantly, and any raindrop that came near evaporated to steam before it touched the flame. “And I wield the Sword of War.”

Ezekiel’s step backwards was genuine this time, as was the fear in his voice.

“The Sword is a Weapon of Heaven, and belongs to Raphael!” he managed.

“I’m afraid it doesn’t,” Aziraphale said gently. It was an elegant sword, long and thin and rapier-like, and very clearly meant to kill. “This is the blade given to my hand by Michael, Commander of the Heavenly Host, when we all trained together as brothers. Before all the senseless bureaucracy took hold. From me, it passed to the human Eve, and there it became a Symbol to the humans, of War. It’s their Weapon, really, so I will use it on their behalf. If Raphael considers that ‘rebellion’, then so be it.”

ANYWAY. So, Aziraphale joins Cas’s rebellion and mostly starts sorting records in the very neglected Library of Heaven that contains a book recounting the life of every single person ever, bc that’s my idea of heaven and I’m right. But also he needs to rescue the nice young rebel angel whose capture kinda prompted him into this decision in the first place, and that means breaking into the really serious heavenly prison area...so he goes to the new King of Hell and bargains to borrow one of the lost Treasures of Heaven (remember those, from s6?) that Crowley has ended up with. They agree: Aziraphale can have the Crown of Pollution thing for 24 Earth hours, and in return, at a time of his choosing, Crowley will get a treasure of Heaven to which Aziraphale has access for 24 hours.

Upon getting the Crown back, Crowley informs him that the treasure he’d like is...Aziraphale, actually. The Sword of War, if he wants to be fussy, and Aziraphale is welcome to come along with it! After all, surely a warrior of Heaven is as valuable as an artifact. “You want me to...smite your political enemies?” Aziraphale says slowly. “Sure,” says Crowley. “Also, come to tea for 10 minutes once a week or so and tell me hte latest news from your little war. I never said the 24 hours had to be consecutive.”

Obviously Aziraphale is Pissed AF, but he’s also stuck, and afraid to tell anyone that he’s been Dealing with a demon. So he goes once a week to tea, and gives absolutely monosyllabic answers full of ice...

Crowley fills some of the silence by starting t just bitch about work...and offers booze every time...once, after a hard battle, Aziraphale accepts...he offers bitchy comments about the demons Crowley complains about...don’t do this, Aziraphale tells himself firmly; it’s not YOUR demon, and anyway that was still probably a lie, and even if it wasn’t (it definitely wasn’t) you can’t find him; he’s probably dead...and this one’s MUCH trickier... There’s an assassination attempt on Crowley in which Aziraphale throws his sword across the room to him and it catches fire just as it does for Aziraphale, just as it doesn’t do for anyone else...

And that’s kinda where I stopped writing, bc I kept just...not wanting to write scenes with actual SPN characters, even though I really did need to involve Castiel, if I wanted him and Aziraphale to have a, “wait, you’re working with Crowley?” “Wait, YOU’RE working with Crowley?!”

I don’t really know how the rest of all that was supposed to go, with Purgatory and the Leviathans and everything. Cas WAS definitely having Aziraphale do research, while he alphabetized the Library, into Purgatory, and that’s a whole additional level of “wow I thought you were legit but Apparently I’m Disappointed Again.” Aziraphale is angry at both Crowley and Cas, but *checks outline* when Cas absorbs all the souls and goes nuts, Crowley runs, worried, to tell Aziraphale. Aziraphale tries to confront/calm Cas, and gets the dubious honor of being the first person “spared” by the new god.

Somewhere in here, logically, Aziraphale must tell SPN!Crowley about GO!Crowley, and Crowley’s like, “weird. I mean, I guess I’ve had dreams now and then of flying or being a snake or burning-but-in-a-good-way, but doesn’t everyone?” (I didn’t write this down anywhere but, like...it must happen.)

Somehow (Library of Heaven? Someone finally found the lost paperwork in Hell?) Aziraphale and Crowley find out that GO!Crowley’s (OG Crowley’s!) lost Grace is in, where else, Hyde Park, turned into, what else, an apple tree. If he is proper Crowley, it should woosh back into him when he touches the tree...

Aziraphale watched it breathless anticipation (not that he usually breathed anyway) as Crowley rested his hand on the bark of the tree. 

Nothing happened. 

“Well, that was a bit of a disappointment,” said Crowley. He reached up and carelessly grabbed an apple, brought it down and bit into it.

Everything exploded in the bright light of Grace.

In the planning document, I’ve written that Crowley goes back to Hell to try to wrangle it and Aziraphale ditto Heaven, which I guess...is reasonable. Good Omens ends with them both happily fucking off to stay on Earth and that’s the happy ending, but here, early SPN s7 with Cas having just fucked off into a lake and exploded with Leviathans, both Heaven and Hell could really use a sensible guiding hand, and unlike every other time (ie, all the time) that’s true, there’s a genuine opportunity for someone to step in and have influence. So...

Verdict: 11/10 this fic still SLAPS; thank you for coming on this exciting journey of nostalgia with me.

#supernatural #spn #my fic #good omens #p.s. SHOUTOUT to the PAGES document format that these are all in bc i wrote them on my high school desktop computer #goddamn that was a While ago

Todoroki’s Relationships Analysis Part 7: Chapter 169-now. Culture Fest, Pro Hero, JTA, MLA & Winter Internship arcs.

(SPOILERS TO NOW)

Culture Festival Arc

The new, party person post retake arc Shoto

Shoto’s retake course has helped to change his perspective on things a little, and understand the value of fun a little bit more (which is what this arc is all about)

He remains critical towards Bakugou here, though Katsuki definitely starts it. 

Or more accurately, the rest of the school starts it by acting like Class A asked to get attacked by crazy supervillains. Bakugou initially in this scene seems like he’s being a jerk, but he’s actually having one of his moments of kindness and empathy, as he defends his classmates from the rest of the school, and Shoto stops criticizing him once that lands. 

Shoto spends most of the CF arc hanging around twith this group, whom he mostly gets along with on the level of fairly normal friendship, so there isn’t much to say about these scenes.

We see Shoto to be the most concerned classmate about Deku’s wellbeing, probably because he’s learned by this point that an unavailable Midoriya probably means he’s breaking his body in two.

He watches Izuku getting scolded by the teachers.

And hangs out with Iida during the Culture Fest event itself. (Iida is the universal bro)

Culture Fest Shoto is still fairly quiet, but much more sociable than before. He suggests throwing a big party for the school, which should probably tell you that he’s a very different kid from the start of the year.

Pro Hero Arc

This arc is mostly about Shoto’s relationship with his dad, though we get a quick glimpse of his classmates looking after him when the fight plays on TV.

Four classmates are specifically watching Shoto. Now, while Kiri and Shoto do have a friendship, Kiri is generally the “glue that holds the class together”, so essentially, he was written to be the kid who always looks after his teammates. The other 3 are Shoto’s 3 main ships: Bakugou, Deku, and Momo. 

Though just about everyone comes over to him afterwards.

Included because how can you not.

joint Training Arc

Sero and Shoto sure have come a long way since “nice try” huh? And yes, Earlyroki is the phrase I want to use too.

Shoto is focused on watching Yaoyorozu’s fight.

He showcases some understanding of Momo’s tactical expertise and confidence in her ability to win. He believes that only a total assault on her could have been sufficient to actually defeat Momo. 

He looks worried for Momo after she loses and states firmly that he “hopes she doesn’t get all discouraged again”, recalling her previous sadness and worrying for her in the future.

We see a moment of Todoroki and Bakugou being on the same wavelength here, as following the above panel Shoto immediately does just that. 

Tetsutetsu pushes Todoroki to the point where he has to use way too much firepower. However, his team still loses/ties.

He has a Deku-like moment and this triggers his actions in the next arc (tears at BabyTodo in the left hand panel.)

This is his reaction to BlackWhip. He goes over to Deku after the JTA is over and after Deku’s training session with Bakugou and All Might and asks him directly, indicating he thinks Izuku has two powers.

Clearly, Shoto felt a bit betrayed that Deku asked him to go all out but was apparently holding back himself. I wish we could’ve had Shoto’s thoughts while the whole thing was going on.

He instantly believes Midoriya and doesn’t think to question this strange development. He compliments him as well, showing that Deku has joined Momo and Kacchan’s ranks as someone Shoto admires. Deku shoots right back at him.

Shoto, having tied while Deku and Kacchan, his two Official Rivals, both won with a complete knockout, obviously feels like they’ve surpassed him. This is, basically, his equivalent (though less angsty) to Bakugou at the end of the PLE arc, feeling completely surpassed by everyone.

The Joint Training arc sees, to Shoto, his classmates surpassing him, and spurs him to decide and seek out Endeavor as a Utility. We see his admiration for Momo, Kacchan and Izuku on full display.

MLA Arc

Newly minted Licensed heroes Todoroki and Bakugou are here to save the day Together!

They’re referring to each other as “we” and working together to end the villains.

Shoto’s showing concern for Kacchan, who as usual takes all concern for his wellbeing as an insult. (and as usual makes everything about Deku. Holy crap, was that really as powerful as the Sports Fest move?!?! They’ll have to bust out some sick animation for that).

Winter Internship Arc (up to present chapter, Chapter 250)

So Todoroki and Kacchan work together well. Are they friends? What does Shoto think of their relationship? His self-definition is that they get along well.

Todoroki apparently defines friendship as “spending a lot of time together”. Bakugou objects to this. Todoroki basically calmly insists that they get along anyway.

Shoto’s motto of heroism here is that he wants “to put others at ease’. We’ve got his manifesto as to heroism laid out here.

This is funny, yes, but also kinda heartbreaking. Shoto is incredibly awkward in his interview and doesn’t seem to understand that he’s being flirted with. It’s possible he doesn’t have much conception of what romance, flirtation and attraction even are. This is a facet I’d like to see explored more in shipping fics, actually, because any idea of Shoto as some smooth charmer with great flirting skills should be heavily dispelled by this instance.

Although he’s talking about his dad here, the words could just as easily apply to Midoriya.

Shoto instantly apologies to Katsuki, taking it as his fault that Bakugou was cut, because he’s not socially adept enough to get that Bakugou’s behavior is inappropriate. While one doesn’t have to, you could take Bakugou’s reply as him relieving Shoto of feeling guilty by telling him it wasn’t his fault. Just in Bakugou-speak.

Deku’s 3 most popular ships watch him try and conquer his quirk. Or is this in his head?

Some nervous solidarity between Shoto and Izuku, + bonus Jealous Bakugou.

ChristmasTodo notices Bakugou feeling down.

And immediately offers him and Deku internship jobs with the #1. Shoto’s motives her deserve some consideration. He states later on that he sees Endeavor, as far as regards his career as a pro, in a utilitarian manner. He views him as a means to an end for success (outside of their past and family drama, obviously). So Shoto is, essentially, offering Deku and Kacchan the best possible internship opportunity he can, even though it involves asking his old man for a favor. That’s some serious supportive friendship power right there.

Endeavor complains about having to teach all 3 but Shoto shuts him down quickly.

He agrees with Bakugou that Endeavor’s dismissive attitude is not what they signed on for or what he promised Kacchan. 

Todo and Kacchan are again on the same wavelength here and act like they both find Deku’s constant chatter annoying.

In his big speech to Endeavor, he states that “competing with these guys” before correcting himself and trying to include the rest of his classmates in that estimation. But he ca’t take back that initial impulse. Deku and Kacchan are placed first in his estimation. They are the first ones he thinks of. And both, as well. It’s  very clear that Deku and Kacchan (Twin Stars of class A indeed) changed his life. Thinking about it too...he didn’t immediately use fire after his match with Deku. It wasn’t until he hurt Bakugou by holding back and lost hte match that he really started to change.

“IN front of my friends”. Shoto again points out that he came her to use Endeavor, regardless of feelings. He insists on being treated the same as Deku and Kacchan, and tells Endeavor not to pretend to be dadlike to him in front of them. This impulse is interesting too. He doesn’t wish to present any kind of lie to these two.

Shoto pays a lot of attention to Kacchan and actually smiles when Bakugou calls Endeavor’s power a “rip-off” of Bakugou’s own explosion quirk. I guess he likes the chance to insult dear ol dad.

When Deku and Kacchan are both in a bad mood, Shoto plays supportive cheerleader.

He’s totally cool with the invitation.

He shows again some understand of (and criticism of) Deku.

This is where Todoroki comes to understand that Katsuki knows about his situation with Endeavor. Interestingly enough, while Deku is the one he told, he hasn’t shown any inclination to add more to that knowledge since the Sports Festival. 

Deku shows some incredible understanding of Shoto’s mind here and supports his decision with Endeav either way. Shoto’s expression is astonished, as if he had never thought of his situation this way before.

He immediately opens up to Deku and Kacchan about Toya with Fuyumi’s help; once again, both know Shoto’s backstory.

He also reaches out to get the recipe from Fuyumi to give to Bakugou. Always the caring, considerate friend.

Presumably she doesn’t thank Bakugou too because he keeps insisting he totally isn’t friends with Shoto. Shoto looks so adorably embarassed here.

He’s solicited as a study buddy for Deku, and for now (until Friday) this is where we leave them. Jumping forward to save Natsuo.

So this retrospective on Todoroki’s relationships - Todoroki’s relationships only, from his POV alone - was interesting. And very informative, as it changed my perspective on Shoto’s character dynamics a lot. I hope you enjoyed, and let me know if there are any other characters you want me to do a Relationships retrospective on in the future.

Firen Lhain: Chapter 009: Yellow Streak

Note: This story runs parallel to Jaundice / Forever Fall, (it's easy to forget how short the early episodes were, to the point that all four basically add up to to the screen time of a regular half hour/22 minute episode).

* * *

Cardin held his mace above his head as he looked down at Jaune, when a buzzer sounded. Glynda walked out, "That's enough. Students, as you can see, Mr. Arc's aura has now dropped into the red. If this were tournament-style duel, this would indicate that Jaune is no longer fit for battle, and that the official may call the match. Mr. Arc, it's been weeks now. Please try to refer to your scroll during combat. Gauging your aura will help you decide when it is appropriate to attack, or when it is better to move to a more defensive strategy. We wouldn't want you to be gobbled up by a Beowulf, now would we?"

"Speak for yourself." Cardin said, as held his mace over his shoulder and turned to walk away.

* * *

RWBY walked into their dorm room. "Oh, man," Yang said excitedly, "I'm pumped about the festival."

"Too bad what happened to Jaune..." Ruby voiced.

"And... you just have to bring me down..." Yang said, and turned to look at her sister. "Look, no one likes what Cardin is doing to him, but does anyone have a plan to fix it?" At this, Ruby, Weiss, and Blake were silent. "That's what I thought."

"The only one that can help Jaune... is Jaune..." Blake voiced. "All we can do is be ready to pick up the pieces... It's not like he's the only one that is being discriminated against."

"But!," Ruby said proudly, "he's - our - friend!"

"Exactly." Yang stated.

"Indeed." Weiss added, and Yang looked at her questioningly. Weiss nervously looked away, her proud stance turning into a shy, uncertain one. "But what happens when the Vytal festival arrives, and he is still?.."

"He's going to get creamed." Yang said.

"Unless his team can save him." Blake added.

"He does have Pyrrha Nikos on his team." Weiss stated.

"This is Jaune we are talking about!" Ruby exclaimed.

"He's loveable..." Yang stated, "but that doesn't mean he can fight. And that's one thing a huntsman needs to be able to do..."

"He's great at watching..." Blake voiced, "Remember what he did in the Emerald Forest..."

"If I didn't have you girls," Yang uttered, "I'd love to have him on my team."

"Good thing... you do..." Blake said to her.

"I trust you girls more than anyone I've trusted in my life." Yang replied, "You can't tell me it wasn't real? That it's not real?"

"Our team is coming along swimmingly." Weiss added.

"But that includes Jaune, doesn't it?" Ruby asked.

"Of course it does, sis." Yang replied, "It wouldn't be the same without any of them."

"And the antlers are pretty cool." Ruby said, and Yang developed a wicked smile.

* * *

"Ms. Xiao Long." Ozpin said, as she walked into the stone cloister. "We have approved your request. Yang looked at the stone pillar in the centre of the cloister with a wicked grin. "As you expect, the stone pillar is yours to do with as you please."

Yang cracked her neck back and forth, and pulled down the strike-plates on her Ember Celica.

"I will leave you to your training." Ozpin said to her.

"Thank you, Professor." Yang replied.

Ozpin walked away, swinging his cane. "Ah, the energy of youth. That takes me back... quite a ways..."

* * *

Blake swung about the spires of Beacon at night, when she saw something on one of the rooftops.

* * *

Blake walked into RWBY's room with a confused look on her face. "What's up?" Yang asked, as Blake closed her door.

"I just saw Jaune... with Cardin?.." Blake asked.

"What?" Yang asked her.

"What?!" Ruby exclaimed from her hanging bed.

"But?.." Weiss nervously asked.

"Yeah," Yang said, "they don't exactly get along..."

"To put it mildly." Weiss added.

Ruby's head appeared out of her bed, "What do we do?"

"What do you mean?" Weiss asked.

"Well... I mean..." Ruby stammered.

"This isn't right." Yang added.

"I doubt Jaune is doing this out of benevolence." Weiss stated.

"More like violence." Yang said to her.

"We can't exactly do anything..." Blake stated, and the girls all looked at her, "without knowing for sure."

"But?.." Ruby asked, "Jaune?.."

"If he doesn't come to us for help..." Blake sadly said, "there's nothing we can do?.."

"How do you?.." Weiss asked her.

"Because maybe I had my own!.." Blake shouted, "I mean... just... let's just drop it. It's not exactly something I want to share, especially not with a Schnee."

Weiss gasped as Blake turned towards the door and stepped out.

"Yikes." Yang stated.

* * *

Blake sat on one of the parapets overlooking Beacon. "I... can't believe I said that..." she voiced, "but... she is a Schnee. A couple months ago, she was my greatest enemy. I can't believe... I trust her? How could I ever trust a Schnee?.."

* * *

"So?" Yang asked Weiss, "You do something to tick her off?"

"I am... uncertain?" Weiss asked. She sat on her bed, shoulders pulled in, looking into nothing.

* * *

Pyrrha forlornly looked out JNPR's window, into the dark of the night. Nora came up behind and gave her a hug. Pyrrha sighed. "I know..." Nora quietly said, before letting her go.

A quiet tension filled the room until Jaune finally returned. He quietly sat down to do homework. At which point the tension shifted from absence to unspoken.

* * *

Professor Oobleck walked into Ozpin's office. Well, for him it was a walk, for most it would be a run.

"Batholomew?" Ozpin asked.

"I have come on a situation of the gravest importance!" Oobleck said to him, and Ozpin just smiled a quiet smile at him. "Academic misconduct!"

"And, who is it?" Ozpin asked.

"Without getting into Mr. Arc's apparent lack of academic abilities as a huntsman, I required my two delinquent students to write an essay." Barthomolew then put two stapled stacks of paper on Ozpin's desk.

Ozpin picked up the essays, and quickly read through them. He then looked up, giving Bartholomew a knowing look.

"It is highly unlikely that they were written by two different individuals. If I had to guess, I'd say Mr. Winchester's essay lacks his daunting self-assurance. This is dreadful, truly dreadful."

Ozpin thought for a moment before speaking, "Do you have any proof."

"Unfortunately," Oobleck stated, "that is the one thing I do not have."

"This is not... the first time... that Mr. Winchester's name has come across my desk." Ozpin replied. "Until now, Mr. Arc's problem has been ability..." Ozpin drank from his coffee cup. "Do exactly as I expect you to do."

"I will keep detailed records on every scrap of evidence I've come across." Oobleck replied.

* * *

Jaune sat on his bed, breathing heavily, bathed in the morning light.

"You coming, Leader?" Nora asked him, and his eyes opened.

"Coming!"

* * *

Cardin cowered, his teammates fled, and the Ursa Major bore down upon him. There was only one man who could do something, and that was Jaune. He dove between the charging Ursa and Cardin, using his shield to brace against the swipe. It was the hardest thing he had ever had to do, but his aura held, his arm held, his feet held. The Ursa pushed down upon him, and he had to summon all of his strength... aura-amplified strength... to push it back. It was at that moment that it finally became clear to him. That was they RWBY and his team were able to move so quickly, jump so high, ricochet off trees like like an air hockey game. It was not just themselves, but their aura. It felt like his... substantial... energy was exploding inside himself. He managed to push the Ursa away, and strike at it with his sword.

He adopted a braced stance. His sword helped balance against his shield, his antlers balanced against one-another. The Usra bore down on him once again, dropping it's great paw. He once again braced it against his shield. This time he felt his aura diminished by the strike. This was what it felt like. This is what hte others already knew. He dug his left antler into the Ursa's paw and it recoiled. It did not last long as it bore down again, this time with it's left paw. Jaune stepped into the attack, trying to headbutt the Ursa.

He was not used to attacking with his antlers. Before he knew about aura he always thought they were too fragile to be used in any truly dangerous situations... and too deadly to use in any others. His antlers hit... somewhat... causing the Ursa to step back, looking at him. The Ursa was filled with it's iconic rage, but Jaune could feel his blood boiling as well. The Ursa charged at him, striking down once again, and once again Jaune blocked it. Once again he felt his aura ebb. He looked at the scroll placed on the back of his shield, and showed his aura was still mostly full. He swung at the Ursa. He hit, though not enough to deal significant damage. But, he had left himself open, and the Ursa swung in.

He felt his aura reinforce his breastplate. The breastplate took the brunt of the attack. His aura seemed to stretch the attack across the rest of his body. He stagged back, and then squared his head. He had to to balance his antlers and balance himself. The Ursa charged at him again. He once again braced for the attack, but felt something tug at his shield. His shield moved just enough to parry, knock the paw away as it bore down, leaving the Ursa completely defensiveless. Jaune's sword passed through the Ursa's neck, and the two separated in darkness. He breathed in deeply to recentre himself, noticing the Ursa begining to evaporate beside him. It seemed to take a lot longer than the Beowulves had. He should really be paying attention in Professor Port's lectures.

[mfingenius]

Hi there! I dont know if you are still taking request but if you still are, can you write spy Draco gets hurt badly during his mission and that suprises everyone in hogwarts because they dont know he is a spy? Thank you in advance, and I love you and your blog ❤️

Draco Malfoy doesn’t speak; it has been three days since he woke up in the infirmary, and nothing that has been done has been able to get a reaction out of him. 

When Malfoy hadn’t shown up to the first day of their sixth year, Harry had known it was something to do with Voldemort, but he’d assumed Malfoy had joined him and was now in a mission for the Dark Lord.

Oh, how wrong he was.

Malfoy had somehow appeared straight in Harry’s dorm room one afternoon - scaring the shit out of Ron and Hermione, the only people there - and said only one word - Horocruxes - before he’d passed out.

He’d been bloodied, and dirty, and bruised, and he’d looked like he hadn’t eaten in weeks. Harry understood nothing except for the fact that Malfoy needed help, and so he’d sent Ron running to get Madam Pomfrey and McGonagall. Hermione had shoved Harry out of the way and began muttering healing spells in earnest, her face pale and her hands bloody.

Harry could only stare.

Madame Pomfrey and McGonagall had both worked in tandem, with a synchrony that only comes from years of working together. After they were sure Malfoy wasn’t going to die, they’d taken him to the infirmary, and Ron and Harry had turned all of their questions on Hermione, who’d been trembling since Ron had pulled her away from Malfoy, after Pomfrey and McGonagall arrived.

“He - He was spying for the order.” Hermione had whispered with shaking hands. “I was - not a lot of people knew, I - I don’t know how they - how they-”

She’d stopped talking then, and neither Ron nor Harry had pressed her for more.

Two days later, Malfoy had woken up. There had been questions, of course. A lot of them. Malfoy didn’t answer a single one, and though they tried again, it’s been three days of no answers.

“There’s nothing wrong with his vocal chords.” Pomfrey says, when Hermione has stopped by to check on him for the fifteenth time in five days; she’s been sleeping in the infirmary more often than in the Gryffindor Dorms lately. Ron and Harry are hovering uncomfortably by the door; though he believes everything Hermione had said - including that Malfoy changed - he doesn’t think he’s ever been close enough to Malfoy to be welcome in the room at the moment. “It’s trauma. Shock, too. We can’t rush the process.”

He’d arrived through a portkey Professor McGonagall had made for him, charmed to lead him straight to wherever Hermione was. The first few nights Harry tried to fool himself into thinking that Malfoy got away before hte worst happened; that as soon as he’d been found out he had managed to get out. He knows he’s wrong.

The scars are both old and new, some as old as four months, which means the beginning of July, or the last of June. Right when they went home for summer. He doesn’t want to think of anything that might’ve happened to Malfoy, becuase he doesn’t think he could stop thinking of what he could’ve done to stop it, and it is a line of thought he cannot indulge in right now. Instead, he focuses on helping Malfoy, as much as he can, which mostly comes through in helping Hermione.

He and Ron bring her food, and books from the library, and even things like a toothbrush or a change of clothes in the weekends, when she refuses to leave Malfoy’s side. She feels guilty, Harry knows; being one of the only two people who knew of Malfoy being a spy, she thinks it’s her fault, it must’ve done something she did.

And honestly, Harry doesn’t know if it was; maybe it was an ill-timed letter, or a floo call one of them made carelessly. He does know that Hermione wallowing in guilt and not taking care of herself does nothing to help Malfoy, and that even if it was something she did, she couldn’t have known.

“Please, Hermione.” He begs. “Please, just - it’s dinner. Go to the Great Hall. Eat there. Talk to people. Malfoy will still be here when you’re done.”

Hermione rubs at her eyes - darkened by lack of sleep - and shakes her head to wake herself up.

“I’m fine,” She says. She looks back towards Malfoy - sitting on the infirmary bed, hands on his lap, eerily quiet and still - and shakes her head. “I don’t want to - I don’t want to leave him alone. What if I - what if I leave, and something happens, and I’m not here? I - I knew what he wanted to do, I promised he’d be safer this way, and he’s - he’s-”

Her voice breaks, and her eyes begin filling with tears, and Ron and Harry look at each other helplessly.

“‘Mione, this is not your fault.” Ron says firmly. “You said Malfoy changed. If he did, he would’ve done this anyway, whether or not you promised safety. You’re wasting away, and that is not helping him. Do you want to end up in one of the infirmary beds with him? Do you think you’ll be any help to him, then?”

Hermione’s lower lip trembles, and she wipes at her eyes, shaking her head.

Harry is surprised by just how much Ron is like his mother.

“Good.” He continues. “So you’re going to come with us to the Great Hall, you’re going to eat something, and you’re going to sleep in a bed for once. You can be right back here tomorrow morning.”

Hermione still looks hesitant, and so Harry speaks.

“I’ll stay with him.” He says. Hermione looks at him, and he nods. “You didn’t want to leave him alone, so don’t. I’ll wait with him, until you’re back.”

“You’ll stay the night?” Hermione asks dubiously.

“Yes,” Harry says. “It’s alright. We can take turns.”

“Alright,” Hermione sniffles quietly. She stands and hovers for a little while on Malfoy’s bedside. “I’m going to the Great Hall, Draco. I can - I could bring food back for you, if you would like.”

There’s no reaction. Hermione sighs slightly, and then presses her knuckles softly to Malfoy’s. 

“I won’t be long,” She promises. “Harry will stay with you.”

Harry nods helpfully, and Ron and Hermione walk out of the infirmary. 

Harry stands awkwardly for a while, before sitting down on the chair Hermione had been using. Harry has never liked silence, but this one in particular is driving him insane.

“So, uh, how are you?” He asks. Malfoy doesn’t respond. “Not good, I imagine. I’m sorry I didn’t - I’m sorry I didn’t do anything. I know, I know, I didn’t know, how could I have - but I - I’m also sorry for that. Not knowing. I was - I thought you were a prick. You were a prick, but even when you weren’t I - I think I was already used to seeing you that way, so I never bothered to look at you any other way, and I didn’t notice - I - I’m sorry.”

There’s still no response, and Harry sighs and leans back. He leans forward again, and then shifts his weight. Leans back again. Forward. Back. He taps his foot. He’s moving so much he’s half expecting Malfoy to snap out of his trance and snap at him for being annoying.

He doesn’t.

Staying by Malfoy’s bedside is hell. Mostly because Harry can only sit there and wallow in his own guilt, his insecurities and uncertainties, and the only thing there is to do is watch Malfoy, which gives Harry a painfully clear view of everything that’s happened to him.

There are bruises on his face, and his arms, and a long cut across his nose. There are scars under the hospital gown, Harry knows even if he hasn’t seen them. His grey eyes - pale grey, much clearer than Harry had noticed - are still on the white wall, and he’s barely blinking.

It’s… creepy.

Still, he comes back the three nights later. And then another three. And another three. Him, Hermione, and even Ron take turns every night to stay by Malfoy’s bedside. Harry has taken to reading Muggle books out loud for Malfoy to hear. He gets through all of Disney’s fairytales, and then reads Mulan again because he thinks it’s Malfoy’s favorite, even if he has no way to know.

He’s reading The Little Mermaid when it happens.

“She’s dumb.” Malfoy whispers shakily.

It’s nearly three in the morning - Malfoy barely sleeps - and Harry has to blink various times to make sure he didn’t imagine it.

“What?” He asks.

“Ariel.” Malfoy says. His voice sounds odd; unfocused, distant, terrified. “She’s dumb. She gave away her voice for legs for someone who she didn’t even know because she thought she was in love with him.”

Harry’s jaw is slack. 

Malfoy doesn’t say anything for the rest of the night, no matter how many times Harry tries to question him.

Over the next few weeks, it happens again. They’re always tiny comments, and they’re only with Harry. Some of them are nonsensical, but most of them are pretty structured, if a little vague. Harry can mostly carry out a conversation with him, as long as no one else is around and Draco - because it’s Draco now - feels sufficiently comfortable.

The first time Harry tries to get him to speak in front of other people, Draco curls up in a ball and doesn’t speak for three days, not even to Harry, alone. The next time, it’s only one day, and the time after that, his fingers keep twitching nervously but he tries to get a few words out.

He doesn’t succeed, but Harry’s proud of him anyway.

The next few times, Harry holds his hand through it. He’s taken to doing that, holding Draco’s hand, whenever he gets nervous. Harry doesn’t know if Draco was always this anxious or if it is a new thing, but he is always anxious. Now that Harry can read him, he notices it all the time, in the set of his shoulders, the twitching of his fingers, the way he swallows.

Which means there’s a lot of hand-holding, which, surprisingly, Harry is entirely okay with. The first time Draco speaks with another person around - Hermione - it’s the words ‘It’s not your fault’ and Hermione and him both cry. Harry tries to let go of his hand to give them a moment of privacy, but Draco squeezes tighter and looks at him like he’s begging Harry not to leave.

It is a long, slow way. Draco develops a stutter for a while, and he doesn’t ever discuss what happened at the Manor, and Harry doesn’t press. They sleep in the same bed every night, and, with Draco in his arms, Harry’s arms wrapped around him, he realizes that, with his friends and his boyfriend on his side, they’ll win the war.

They have to. Because Harry isn’t going to allow anything else to harm Draco, or Ron, or Hermione, ever again. They don’t deserve it.

And he will do anything to ensure their safety.

[captain-aralias]

Creators: give a “behind the scenes” look at one of your works. This could be things that got removed or changed, the origins of ideas/details, whatever you like!

oh hey - it’s trivia tuesday already (i guess it’s been a long two days back at work this week). i know everyone is still working their way through the remixes that are finished and posted - and i say, do this! some cracking stuff. i’m over half way through now, and i want to write up some thoughts about how these 26 stories approached remix - because it’s super inventive. i think people benefited from not being familiar with the format.

but i also wanted to share my thinking around why i picked the fic to remix that i did - and what else i was considering from @bazzybelle‘s ficlist, because i think the thought process around remix is interesting. AND i wanted to show you the 500 words i wrote almost immediately of a completely different remix that i definitely won’t finish. it would have been... a publishing AU, fake relationship with too-early-in-the-relationship sex. all good things in a fic, right?

so - read on for deleted scenes, and discussion of thought process. and don’t read on, if that’s not your jam. 

(in general remember - i’m keen to leave stuff in the original that’s good, rather than just thieve everything. so that’s my thought process here.) 

first idea: 

I Just Want Your Extra Time And Your .....

(texting, sex chat). i already really liked this fic, and i have IRL experience of working in publishing (which you’ll see to some extent in the fic - i worked very near people who worked on celebrity cookbooks, which is what baz works on in the fic) (the launch party is not revealed to be at the groucho club in the bit i wrote, but would have been - and i’ve been there/i know soho, so ... that was all appealing)

my idea was: the original is a text fic, mine isn’t, although they still only know each other through the sex chat set-up. so instead of simon and baz having text-sex (as in the fic), baz asks simon [who he's never met] to come and be his fake date at a publishing launch party where he sees lamb, his former boyfriend. 

the trigger for simon and baz progressing with their relationship/having sex (Because they were going to have sex but IRL) would be the same - baz seeing lamb and freaking out. and some of the texts would be literally copied and pasted in my fic as backstory. 

here were my original notes:

in the original fic there's a bit where baz sees lamb, his ex boyfriend, and then is like - hey, simon distract me and they have phone sex

my fic will essentially start there - baz is at a launch party for one of his books, lamb is there - dating the author. it is awful. baz wants to leave, but can't. also, it's time for the text slot with simon - he goes and hides in a cloakroom

and is texting simon, it's terrible - i am so drunk and it's still terrible. and i think simon offers (rather than baz asks) to come and pretend to be his boyfriend

for some sort of plausible denial reason like baz will text him a lot over hte next few days so he'll get a lot of extra money or some shit, but also because simon thinks lamb is a dick even through teh messages

simon shows up - they both drink a lot. they like each other, simon punches lamb (probably). baz asks if he can take simon to a restaurant, they talk more - they kiss. they go back to a hotel together. they discuss whether or not this means that simon is a prostitute (no). they have sex IRL

baz wakes up - and leaves immediately, obviously.

they text again the next day - it's awkward. simon thinks about how he could track baz down if he wanted to - but he feels like baz doesn't want him to, so he doesn't

simon gets out of his horrible job - baz probably tries to get in touch with him, but can't because he's gone. simon gets a message from baz ....... this is still to be determined

anyway - i will probably steal the meet cute in the elevator, it's nice.

why i stopped writing it: 

i knew it was going to take ages to write - i didn’t have the time or brainspace to write 20k of fic. i’d assumed going in that i could lean on the original fic to provide the meetcute, but realised that since it was an AU, i still needed to sell the relationship - particularly given that they were meeting in real life for the first time in my fic. 

also, it would have been my first mundane AU for the fandom, and my first thing where they weren’t enemies first. (so i was trying to think about how i could get them not to like each other a bit WHILE STILL doing fake dating - and it was throwing me off). it was all just too much.

everything i’ve written is pasted for you at the bottom.

other ideas: 

a month passed. i didn’t write any more on my original remix, but went back to greener grass instead. i sent out the month warning email to remixees and thought - i am not going to finish this fic. 

so, i went back to the list of bazzybelle’s fic and thought what can i write that i can definitely write in a month? 

1. You're F***in' Perfect to Me - daphne POV

i thought, i could write this from malcolm's POV.  in the fic daphne talks a lot about how she and malcolm are just friends, rather than true love, and it's baz she has real (motherly) feelings for, not malcolm. so i thought i could write 'the courtship of mrs grimm' where malcolm gets a wake-up call from this argument, and thinks, i actually do love daphne but she likes my son more than me. he's been hiding behind not wanting to sully natasha's memory, etc, etc. fiona would probably be in it. 

2. bat baz

i also had a bit of a naff idea where instead of baz turning into a bat, in bat baz, he would turn into bat man... 

(interestingly one of the remixes was about baz turning into a cat) 

3. If I Fell In Love With You - which i eventually chose

i took the dancing and the music, the set up, and the theme of communication - also some dialogue. pushed some of the focus onto baz’s relationship with niall, pushed the action back in time towards wayward son, added a truth spell (based on a spell in the original) to force communication.

i think this is one of the most interesting remixes i’ve ever done, btw. i’m really pleased with my take on it. 

i chose this to remix because i thought - it’s only a few scenes, rather than a whole get-together arc, and it felt achievable in the timespan. i also had a strong idea about what i could do that was different - the relationship with niall and the spell, and what i would leave for people to discover in the original (simon’s POV - including the warmth he feels when baz cooks for him, the two of the resolving the initial fight when simon comes home in a bad mood). 

the title is a combination of - another line from ‘if i fell’ but one that is about not talking to each other/not putting yourself out there... and ‘where words fail’ - which is the spell i used, and also picks up on what baz says to niall - that telling simon wasn’t enough. even if he’d had the right words, they wouldn’t have been believable. but - through the music/magic, they were able to communicate. 

i also considered using a line from ‘into my arms’ instead (I believe in some kind of path), since that was the song that the magic is cast on - but it didn’t work as well thematically. 

here’s the fic i wrote: Don’t Run and Hide (The ‘Where Words Fail’ Remix’)

and here’s the remix i didn’t write. i think i almost wanted to finish it just for the elvis gag. alas, alas.

I Just Want your Extra Time: remix, not written

BAZ

I don’t smoke as much as my father thinks I do. And I don’t drink – not usually. This evening, though, I’ve already had several glasses of champagne and I’m on my fourth cigarette, the second this smoke break. Because it’s that or go back inside. And I definitely don’t want to go back inside.

I should have known he’d be here.

Not that he was invited. Not that he’s on the guest list. Not that there’s any reason at all, in fact, for him to be here, except that my life is an absolute disaster. Today definitely not an exception.

If anything, it’s worse than usual. I thought I’d already hit bottom when Dev told me I had to ring our printers – in China – and get them to promise to ship one of our new titles three weeks early, as some idiot had sent the press release out with the wrong date. That was excruciating, but things seemed to be improving.

It’s a launch party night. I’m not sure why, but I always look forward to them, even though I hate crowds. (Niall would probably say, other people in general. And he wouldn’t be far wrong.)

But I get to wear a suit. (Tonight’s is Spencer Hart. Dark grey. Green tie.) And I know Snow is going to text after the first hour. And even though no one ever remembers to thank the editor – not unprompted, anyway – I do enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that I’m responsible for turning whatever dross we’ve been told to sell into something that could loosely be called a book.

This one is a cookbook by an actor (not a chef, in other words. I had to hire someone else to write the recipes and then we just photographed him next to the result.) It should be a triumph. It is – we’ve already sold several thousand copies. I should be enjoying myself. But then I heard a voice next to my ear.

“Baz.” And someone put a hand on my waist. “Don’t you look rosy?”

Not someone. Lambert. (I never called him Francois, even when we were intimate.) As irritatingly handsome as ever. And just as confident I’ll do whatever he wants.

I haven’t seen him for months. Not since he left me Las Vegas to go off with one of the better-looking Elvis impersonators. (And if that isn’t the most humiliating break-up story you’ve ever heard, then I really don’t want to know what is. Dumped. And for Elvis.) (Not even the real Elvis - not that it makes a difference.)

“I hoped I’d see you here,” he – Lambert – told me. “It’s been far too long.”

“Since you left me.”

He gave me a hurt look. “Baz. We said Auf Wiedersehen, not goodbye.”

“Who are you really here with?”

The author, of course. I watched their eyes meet across the room and Lambert smiling, before he told me it wasn’t serious. And that he’d be interested in taking me to dinner.

“Unless you’re seeing someone?”

I raised an eyebrow – even though I know Lambert knows I only do that when I can’t think of anything to say. Which means he probably knows the truth, which is that there isn’t anyone else. Not anyone else real, anyway.  

Which reminds me …

I check my watch – it’s later than I thought.

#carry on #remix

[finding-the-daylight]

So, now that my finals are officially over, I am going to proceed to have a drink or two or three and rewatch Eclipse. Here’s (soberly) what I remembered from the film prior to starting this account (since starting this account, posts re:Eclipse have reminded me of things I’m not going to include in this introduction): 

1. Bella is basically playing tic-tac-toe with Edward and Jacob and her feelings for them. She can’t make up her mind. When I watched it the first time, my dad was in the living room half paying attention to it and said she was very selfish. 

2. Edward tries to control Bella, but it’s “out of genuine concern for her”.

3. Jacob tries to control Bella, but it’s “out of genuine concern for her”.

4. Both fight for her affection and even though she’s engaged to Edward, she won’t let go of Jacob.

5. When the newborn army shows up, Bella cuts her arm with a rock.

6. There’s awkward tension in the tent.

That’s literally all I remember of the movie while sober (aside from what I have relearned from posts about Eclipse on this blog). My drunken thoughts will be below the break:

Okay, so this dude I think his name is Riley is lowkey kinda dumb, no offense. Like he just stood there and screamed “WHAT DO YOU WANT?!?” This is how all horror movies end badly. You don’t talk back. You run or hide or esape.

THE MEADOW IS SO FUCKING PRETTY. IT’S THE PUREST THING WE HAVE IN THIS FANDOM OMG HE’S PLAYING WITH EHR HAIR AND I JUST WANT SOMEOEN TO PLAY WITH MY HAIR. DAMN BELLA, MY FINALS ARE OVER. SUCKS TO SUCK, DOESN’T IT?

Edward sitting with Bella’s friends. We can’t help but stan. He’s still a bitch for the truck thing though. 

I love how Alice looks @ Edward and tells him the party will be fun because she knows nothing bad will happen. But then he reads her mind and looks conerned wtf is ognna happen?

Side note: I really like the lighting in this movie. Everyone has a healthly glow. They lokk happy.

The fucking Volturi always gotta ruin everything. Bitch ass hoes. Ol’ crusty asses acting like some outdated monarchy. Why don’t the vamprires start a democratic government?

Charlie really deserved better. Like I know they couldn’t tell him teh truth but they could’ve been slightly less untruthful prbabl.

“Reasons why Alita Battle Angel is better than Captain Marvel”

(to fans of Alita Battle Angel. this isnt a take down or insult to your movie. I know some people loved it and i’m sure it was well done. The point of this post is to criticize people using your fav movie as a cheap excuse to pit women against each other)

a strange sentiment seeing as there is no reason to compare the two. I can imagine sexist people who see women as outliers and thus “there can be only 1 good female lead movie” would make such a claim. Most normal people if they dont like a movie just dont watch it.

but i was curious as to why i keep seeing this considering i’ve heard no one talk about it, it kinda passed without the majority of people noticing it, and the fact that Captain Marvel is obviously one of Marvel’s best films ever due to the sheer amount of people praising it for everything including acting, humor, action, comedy and the way it handles its social issues (which ALL marvel movies have)and the sheer money its gained in money

I hadnt watched it yet so i went to other people for info and figured the “your milage may vary” section of tvtropes (the part where wiki-ers comment on aspects of the item that cant be agreed upon”

as i thought it dealt with many things i figured would put Atila low bar

“ A common criticism was that many tropes in the film have grown so omnipresent in sci-fi cinema over the past couple of decades that they no longer feel fresh. “

(my point being its ‘nothing fresh or new”)

“Critics think the film is somewhere between mediocre and okay, but viewers and especially fans of the source material so far seem to love it (on Rotten Tomatoes, the critic approval is 60%, while for audiences it's 93%). It's been lauded by the anime community as the first live-action Hollywood anime adaptationnote to not suck. “

I.e. Its good...for an anime adaption

So why then are people trying to weaponize Alita against Captain Marvel which based on its general reception is an objectively better movie?

“Fandom Rivalry: With Captain Marvel, another sci-fi Feminist Fantasy movie set to release one month from Alita's release. While some simply see Alita as the more visually-interesting and original movie, there's a strange case of this trope in a lot of the rivalry is less down to the Alita fandom criticizing Captain Marvel and more a group of toward certain social inclinations using Alita as an outlet to attack Captain Marvel. Following Brie Larson making certain statements that were interpreted as being political, Captain Marvel came under fire from the latter group drumming up support for the Alita at the expense of the Marvel film as a way of making a statement against Disney... Which anyone familiar with the corporate side of things can tell you would be effectively pointless, considering that Disney is set to purchase Fox shortly after Captain Marvel is released, and supporting either film will be to the benefit of the same corporate body post-acquisition. Conversely, a number of Captain Marvel fans who are mindful of the latter group have actually told others to support Alita to support the creation of more female-led films.“

See Atila is the pet project of an overblown male director (the guy who made avatar) meanwhile the most important person in captain marvel wants more diversity which white men (and POC and white women who’ve been brainwashed by their ways) find to be antethetical to their existence “ if other people have stuff then we dont rule the world” mentality.

Alita has a stock super evil villain, while CM’s villain is a complex character who used his personal relationship to manipulate the hero and take advantage of her (see the prevalence of “nice guy” and “hookup artist” in male culture)

Alita has an anime waifu with unnatural features despite the ‘realism’ of the movie. while one of hte first things captain marvel was criticized for was her costume didnt hug her ass enough

There is nothing wrong with romantic stories, there is nothing wrong with women heroes whos story revolves around a man, nothing wrong with anime adaptions and nothing wrong with women lead films directed by a man

but maybe you should be careful about if the fellow fans you are bonding with are doing so because they just want to hurt others.
