THE ONE WITH THE FACE OF AN ANGEL. all sentences and quotes were taken from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel the Series. all lines are by Angel and his soulless self, Angelus, so be warned a few of these are explicit or allude to sexual acts or have double meaning. change names, pronouns and locations (and ages) as you see fit.

That Slayer...she's a pistol.

I wanna torture you. I used to love it, and it's been such a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

Hey! Who's a guy gotta kill to get a drink around here?!

How sweet that virgin tasted, the fresh smell of a newborn's neck. My first nun - now that's a great story.

As for you, you luscious thing. I mean, you were going to let me out of that cage, so, let's see. I'll give you, what, a ten second start.

Don't be jealous, kitten. She's just the warm-up. I'll save the good stuff for you.

Angel,I love you,but I can't be with you...you ate babies...chicks.

The rumors are true. Angel has left the building, and I am back.

What won't I miss? The moralizing. Soul's already in the ether, boyo. I can smell it.

Tell you what. I'll torture ya for a few unbelievably long hours, and you can tell me if this is the lifestyle for you.

Passion rules us all. And we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments.

If we could live without passion, maybe we'd know some kind of peace. But we would be hollow. Empty rooms, shuttered and dank.

Kill you? Why would I kill you when I can live off you for a month?

I don't want to share my feelings.I don't want to open up. I want to find the guy who killed Tina and look him in the eye.

Are you mad at me for being around too much or not being around enough?

I don't need strength. I just need the sun to rise.

I hated the girls back then.especially the noble women...they were just incredibly dull.

They have no taste for the undead. Not that a sting would do me any damage, it's just... tonight's special.

There's a lot I don't understand. I do know it's important to keep fighting. I learned that from you.

My people, before I was changed, they exchanged this as a sign of devotion. It's a claddagh ring.

Wear it with the heart pointing towards you. It means you belong to somebody.

I'm sorry. I wanted to take you out somewhere fun. It's been a long time since I've been to the movies. They've changed.

How can we be together if the cost is your life, or the lives of others? I know. I couldn't tell you. I wasn't sure - if I could do it if I woke up with you one more morning.

Don't mistake me. I do love the ladies. It's just lately... I've been wondering... what it'd be like... to share the slaughter of innocents... with another man.

Don't... I don't think that makes me some kind of a deviant, hmm? Do you?

Sorry about the chains. It's not that I don't trust you, it's... Actually, it is that I don't trust you.

I can walk like a man but I'm not one.

I'm weak. I've never been anything else.

I wanted to lose myself in you. I know it will cost me my soul, and part of me didn't care. It's not the demon in me that needs killing, Buffy, it's the man.

For a hundred years I offered ugly death to everyone I met, and I did it with a song in my heart.

You're a wreck! She's stronger than any Slayer you've ever faced. Force won't get it done. You gotta work from the inside. To kill this girl... you have to love her.

Let me guess, you summoned back the true Angelus because you need a new boy toy.

Oh, my cure? No, thanks. Been there, done that, and deja vu just isn't what it used to be.

The elders conjured the most perfect punishment for me. They restored my soul.

When you become a vampire, the demon takes your body, but it doesn't get your soul; that's gone. No conscience, no remorse, it's an easy way to live.

You have no idea what it's like to have done the things I've done...and care. I haven't fed on a human being since that day.

See? Whenever we fight you always bring up the vampire thing.

Gave her the puppy dog "I'm all tortured" act. Keeps her off my back when I feed.

Listen, if we date, you and I both know one thing's going to lead to another.

This isn't some fairy tale. When I kiss you, you don't wake up from a deep sleep and live happily ever after.

I did a lot of unconscionable things when I became a vampire. Drusilla was the worst. She was ... an obsession of mine. She was pure, sweet, and chaste.

Killed everybody she loved. Visited every mental torture on her I could devise. She eventually fled to a convent, and on the day she took her holy orders, I turned her into a demon.

She made me feel like a human being. That's not the kind of thing you just forgive.

Spike, boy you never did learn your history.

If I was blind, I would see you.

A demon isn't a man. I was a man once.

Because I wanted to! Because I want you so badly! I want to take comfort in you.

Am I a thing worth saving, huh?! Am I a righteous man? The world wants me gone!

I watched you, I saw you called, it was a bright afternoon out in front of your school. You walked down the steps and ... I loved you.

Because I could see your heart. You held it before you for everyone to see, and I was worried that it would get bruised or torn. And more than anything in my life, I wanted to keep it safe.

I can stay in town as long as you want me.

I never was much for preachers.

God, I missed watching this.

I’ll start working on the second front. Try not to use it.

Hm. You smell so good. So warm. I miss that.

You're wrong. You don't know what it is you're asking me to do.

Oh, what's the matter? Look a little nervous.

They always mistake me for the character I play. They never see the real me!

When you kill them. Some just stand there frozen while others.. .

This was about saving somebody's soul. That's what I do here and you're not a part of it.

That's great, it's nice you moved on; I can't. You found someone new; I'm not allowed to, remember?

I see you again, it cuts me up inside, and the person I share that with is me.

You don't know me anymore, so don't come down here with your great new life and expect me to do things your way. Go home.

Buttering me up. Getting me all relaxed, hm? Not the most innovative interrogation technique, but... OK, I'll play.

Well, now that's a question. Not a great question. Not even an insightful question.

So much for stand by your man. Then again, you probably like her on her knees.

The more you piss me off, the longer I'll keep you alive.

Oh, something tells me she's a screamer.

Hey, you remember that time you tried to get Angel to kill you because you felt all weepy over being such a bad little girl. Huh? Do you still feel that way? Do you still wanna die?

Well, it's not really the kind of message you tell. It sort of involves finding the bodies of all your friends.

I don't need to see movies to get worked up. Just being around you does that just fine. It feels nice, just to feel.

You still my girl?

I know what you're thinking. Maybe there's some good deep down inside of me that remembers and loves you, if only you could reach me.

You know what I just can't believe, all of our time together and we never tried chains.

Dream on, schoolgirl. Your boyfriend is dead and you're all gonna join him.

cashier's revenge gojo satoru.

sum. annoying ex!gojo gets his lick back. not beta read !

satoru's existence itself is a warning. is it a harzardous warning? not quite, but it's also not a good one. at this very moment, at this very precised second, gojo satoru is contemplating the consequences of clocking out of work before his shift is up. in his eyes, if it's executed properly, it can work. the only downside would be the possibility of getting fired.

he cannot afford such a tragedy. being a man in today's day and age comes at an expensive cost. one day satoru promises to find AND deliver punishment to whoever created the "men are the breadwinners." motion. he suffers from society's insane capitalism and boy might he just dive into hell. head first, even. perhaps even toes first, if he's feeling special.

satoru's current employment stems from two reasons. not one, not three, but two:

1. his urge to prove that he can be better off without you.

2. getō suguru, someone's that's just as bad as he is, told him he had the chance to do the funniest thing ever.

now, don't mistake him! gojo satoru is not easily influenced ( he is. ) he knows right from wrong ( sometimes. )

prior to him signing up as a cashier, your break-up was mutual. he agreed to let you go and you agreed that you weren't committed to being in a full relationship yet. on his vision, he hated that he had to let you go; his attachment grew and he couldn't go two days without bothering you.

it would've disgusted satoru if he made you stay with him but god he wished you would've done so.

bored and bothered, satoru fiddles with his fingers, unable to find entertainment elsewhere due to his phone's low battery warning.

"if no one enters in the next five minutes maybe i can — fuck," feeling his right eye twitch, satoru exhales a deep sigh. not only did someone enter but that unlucky customer happened to be you, y/n l/n.

his eyes following your body, praying that you magically decided to no longer buy anything. unfortunately for him, he cannot get everything he wants in life. watching you make your way to his position, he chants a line of curses before going into automatic-customer-service mode.

"hi," satoru begins, forcing his sunshine-like smile, "what would you have today? any menu specials?"

"hello! i'd like to have a — oh my god it's you.." stopping mid-sentence, you clutch the strap of your handbag. the odds weren't one hundred but they definitely weren't zero.

'am i a curse or what?' gojo thinks. your expressions most certainly didn't bypass his radar. setting his offense aside, he continues, "i'm sorry, we don't have an "oh my god it's you" on the menu!"

"sorry, i'll have the daily special," counting the money needed, you wait for him to finish his cashier duties.

"that'll be ten dollars and ninety-nine cents," satoru says, raising his hand to collect the money. for some rather peculiar reason, it seems as though a twenty dollar bill is stuck on its owner's hand.

"miss, please let go of the bill."

"whatever do you mean?"

scoffing, satoru yanks the bill out of your hand. he watches as you twist your face into disgust and shake your hand off. he's sorry, really, but he has to put himself first at times.

—

although satoru was set on escaping early, he now has a reason to stay longer. going out of his way to deliver your meal, satoru sits in front of you. he has the plot and the platform.

"here's your meal, bill, and change," sliding everything to you, he sits with folded arms. this position means business. formal business.

"thank you — but what are you doing there?" you question him, squinting your eyes at his choice of movement.

"don't question me. how have you been though?"

pulling out your fries, you tilt them to his direction, offering them to him. "i've been wonderful, you?"

"my life has been fine. i've recovered ever since you broke up with me," taking a single fry, he shakes his head as he munches.

"that's crazy but why're you even here?" you couldn't contain your curiosity.

"ever since you broke my heart, i needed to get my life back." gojo takes two fries this time, munching them in sadness.

"ah, i see." you reply.

"it's amazing that you can see ever since you broke up with—"

"do NOT finish that sentence." glaring at satoru, you shut down his pity party. whatever he has going on needs to stop.

"you stop me from doing stuff the same way you stopped my heart ever since you —" satoru tries to finish but was met with a burger being shoved in his mouth.

smiling to himself, he compliments himself as he managed to annoy you. satoru can only thank the gods that you don't despise him. even if you do then that's a problem for someone else.

on your side, you're regretting handing over your burger to him. you were sure that breaking up with him will cause a broken heart but it seems like someone's doing fine. taking a sip from your drink, you look at satoru who's happily eating your food. 'he looks cute' you think.

"satoru," you speak up, redirecting his attention from the burger and onto you.

"hm?" he hums, wiping away the sauces on his face.

inhaling a deep breath, you mentally prepare before asking him, "wanna come over tonight?"

satoru's mouth shaped like an 'O', he thinks for a while before agreeing, "i'd love to — especially after you broke up with me."

"i swear i will kill you, satoru."

One Night Stand

Summary: When Regina is dared to kiss the cute blond man she has been eyeing all night, she gets a lot more than ever thought.

Chapter 1: AO3

Chapter 3: The Second Encounter

AO3

Excerpt:

"Good morning, Regina." Tink, her assistant, greeted her as Regina approached her office. "Have a good weekend?"

"Yes," Regina replied, grinning. "I had a very good weekend."

Tink raised an eyebrow. "Care to tell me about it?"

"Maybe later," Regina said, unlocking her office. "We have a field trip coming in soon and I don't want little ears to hear about it."

"Oh, you really have to tell me," Tink said, looking intrigued. "What happened that you don't want little ears to hear?"

Regina just winked in response before entering her office. As she placed her bag down on her desk, Tink called out: "You're evil, Regina Mills!"

"It's only a few hours," Regina told her. "You'll live."

She then sat down and started her computer, leaning back in her chair. "Have we heard from Mal?"

"No," Tink said. "But you know her. She'll show up five minutes before the kids arrive and absolutely dazzle them."

"I hope," Regina replied. Mal was her best instructor and had a special way of keeping students entertained. The only downside was that she sometimes didn't show up until the last minute, leaving Regina to panic for hours.

Her computer finished booting and she opened her email. She saw one from Mal and her stomach sank as she opened it. Cursing under her breath, she stood and moved toward the door. "Mal's not coming," she told Tink.

"What?" Her assistant twirled in her chair, facing her with a frown. "What do you mean?"

"She sent an email saying she needs to help her daughter with an emergency so she's going to be out of town," Regina replied, her heart speeding up. "Who can we call up last minute?"

Tink turned back to her desk. "Let me see if I can get someone."

"Thank you," Regina said, hoping someone would come in. "Let me know when you get someone."

She returned to her office, sitting at her desk as she continued checking her emails. Regina then pulled up the grant proposal she had been working on for the past week. If she managed to get it, they could complete much needed renovations to the museum and modernize their exhibits. Hopefully that would entice more people to visit so they wouldn't have to survive on just school and camp trips.

Knocking interrupted her and she looked up. Tink stood there and her dour expression made Regina's stomach sink. "Nobody is available, are they?" she asked.

"No," Tink replied. "They're all busy. Sorry."

"Great," Regina groaned. "Now what am I going to do?"

Tink hesitated before saying: "You could give the tour."

Regina wondered if she had misheard her assistant. "Me? I normally don't do tours or demonstrations. I'm more administrative."

"Yeah, but you can do them," Tink insisted. "I've seen you, Regina. You love all of this and I have no doubt you'll excel at both. You just have to give yourself a chance."

Glancing at the clock, her heart sank. It was too late to cancel with the school as the buses were about to arrive. She had no choice except to do the tour and pray she didn't ruin it. Nodding, Regina stood. "Alright. Let me go change into a lab coat."

"You know where they are," Tink said, grinning. "I'll go make sure everything is set up for you."

Regina nodded, taking a deep breath as she remained at her desk. "You can do this," she told herself. "You're just as qualified as any docent."

She stepped away from her desk and walked toward the closet where they kept the lab gear. Regina found a coat that fit her and located some safety goggles. After locating the gloves, she closed the closet door and started to walk toward the front of the museum. Through the door, she saw the first yellow school bus pull up, filled with children who were eager to enjoy their field trip.

It was showtime.

Wondering if the reason people make the thieves out as uncaring after 11/20 is because the game itself moves on too quickly from it? Not saying I haven't kind of fallen into that take myself, though not like harshly, just felt they didn't act like they cared *enough* as in it should have been shown more. Because of the way the game's social sim works, you don't get the thieves checking in on/visiting Akira whilst he recovered like you might see in a fic and it can just go straight back into the confidant ranks of helping people with their problems, with no special dialogue or anything to ask how he's doing beforehand; so I feel like that contributes to the takes a lot, especially when one hasn't replayed in a while (sorry your post gave me thoughts on how people get to that take in the fandom, like I think the plan sucked for other reasons such as "Surely someone would notice the lack of a body?" but that's a bit besides the point)

Yeah I think you're absolutely right about that. The structure of the game doesn't let the Thieves care about Akira afterwards. There's also a bit of dialogue during the plan explanation when Akira says "I'm just glad I didn't die" and no one responds to it, which is...kind of baffling. But that doesn't mean the Thieves don't care about him, it means the writers at Atlus made a weird choice. And we know that because we see in that same scene that all of them were very worried for their leader's safety, and like I mentioned before, Makoto herself says she's glad he made it out safe.

The structure of the game kind of fucks over Akira and makes the Thieves look like worse friends in general, too. He helps them throughout the confidants, and then they "stop hanging out" after that, once they all say they want to start helping him out like he helped them. So we don't ever get to see their friendships become reciprocal. But like, that doesn't mean they actually stopped hanging out in-universe. It's a limitation of the play style.

That all said, I do think there is a valid interpretation you can come to which is that the Thieves don't know Akira was traumatized, or the extent of the danger, because he never talks about it. He's overly selfless and doesn't ever talk about his issues, so I could totally see that happening, and it's my personal interpretation. But that doesn't mean the Thieves are terrible friends for failing to read between the lines like that. It's on Akira for refusing to communicate.

And you can even say that they should have been more concerned for him afterwards, and that they put him on too high of a pedestal and think of him as utterly infallible, especially after he escapes with his life. They're kids, and Akira did just survive the impossible.

Or maybe they try not to bring it up on purpose because they don't want hurt him by talking about it, but letting it fester just hurts Akira more and makes him feel like they don't care.

Point is, there's lots of ways to take this strangeness in the game and make it into interesting fic content to explore. There's absolutely a discrepancy going on and exploring that is super valid and interesting. But turning it into "the Thieves are ambivalent and selfish and completely blind to their leader's suffering" takes that way too far. And like...why do people want to do that? Well, at least in the cases I've seen, the answer is twofold.

First of all, there's a section of the fan base that really hates Makoto. This is mostly common among Akechi fans from what I've seen. I think it's a combination of misogyny and the fact that Makoto can be obnoxious sometimes with her defense of the police, which is especially egregious in this situation. Like, the police beat up her best friend, and she still wants to join them. That can read as callous...if you don't understand her as a character, but I digress. (Someday I should write a Makoto defense post bc yeah. People are very stupid about her.) Point is these people like making up reasons to dislike her even more, which is where I think the whole "the plan was her idea and just an ego trip" thing comes from.

And the other reason is that there are a lot of shuake shippers who really, really want Akechi to be Akira's only "true" friend who "really" understands him. Which like...is true to a certain extent, they do have a special bond and Akechi is the only confidant that doesn't ask Akira to fix something for him, etc etc. But them having a special bond DOES NOT EQUAL all of Akira's other friends being terrible friends who suck and DON'T understand him. There's room for nuance here! You can like the toxic ship between rivals without making it less toxic because actually he's the only one who REALLY respects and loves Akira.

Like, he shot him in the head, guys. Let's not delude ourselves here.

But yeah. I'm pretty sure these two sections of the fanbase are specifically Akechi stans, and so they twist actual parts of the game to make Akechi look better and the Thieves worse. They almost like, take Akechi's perspective to a certain extent? Akechi doesn't like Makoto, and Akechi thinks the Thieves are bad friends (maybe, presumably, we don't really know, but he definitely doesn't really like them all that much and he definitely thinks they idolize Joker too much), and these Akechi stans agree with him. Which is baffling to me. Maybe he has half a point, sure, but Akechi is also REALLY stupid and frequently wrong.

And like, to be clear in case anyone who doesn't know me sees this, I say all this as an Akechi stan (look at my username) and shuake shipper.

In conclusion, I do think there is something to be said about how the confidants are written to be unequal, the Thieves don't check in on Akira enough, and the idolization they very much do have for their leader! These are real things that could make for really interesting conflict in fic. But it can happen without villainizing the Thieves or saying they just straight up don't care about their leader. Which is an obvious lie.

I think most people do agree with me nowadays, I've seen a pattern of recent fic and fandom people talking about how this villainization is stupid and going out of their way to make it clear the Thieves do care, so that's good. It was mostly a thing in early fandom that disliked how Akira was treated by canon (valid), wanted to give him conflict in fic (very valid, I love Akira angst), and wanted to make Akechi the "better friend" (???) who understands Akira better than the others (technically true, but it's complicated).

(As for the body thing, Sae said she made sure no one would check the morgue, so you're not supposed to think about it I guess. Makes me wonder about the people who would have taken his body to the morgue, though. Like, did they not report the missing body to anyone? Idk, maybe Sae paid them off too, lol.)

INSIGHT ON FROZEN SKYLINES: INNAMORATA VOICE LINES

AFCAT SERIES MASTERLIST | ISF GENERAL MASTERLIST | CHARACTER PROFILE | LOVE INTERESTS | DISCORD

STORY

INNAMORATA

HELLO: PREDETERMINED COINCIDENCES

And we have met yet again, Traveler. Greetings from Fatui's Handler, Innamorata. It is always a pleasant surprise to cross paths with you. Those fortunate accidents are truly a blessing. And for the both of us, I hope. Do not fret, I shall keep you safe, you are an important piece on this chess board, after all.

CHAT: QUAINT TIMES

Sometimes the time stands still, and the moon becomes frozen. Let us watch her for a while.

CHAT: THE TEYVAT SKY

The stars are supposed to shimmer like the verglas on the windows back in the Northern Snezhnaya. Those that we are aware of, however, are deceiving. What else do these skies hide from us?

CHAT: DELUSION OF FREEDOM

Choices. Freedom. Have you ever wondered if your choices were your own, or if everything has been predestined by some greater power? Would you like to hear the truth? Or would you rather have a delusion instead?

WHEN IT RAINS

A good General will command to strike, a good Queen will keep her people safe. I wonder…

WHEN IT SNOWS

I had nothing to do with it. Maybe it’s Her Majesty Tsaritsa’s doing.

WHEN THE SUN IS OUT

I much more prefer the greyish clouds that bring forth the snowstorm. Out of sight, out of mind. Or so the saying goes.

GOOD MORNING

You are up early. Sága has prepared breakfast, so enjoy while it is still hot. I shall depart for my Fatui duties. May your day’s endeavors be fruitful.

GOOD AFTERNOON

The sun shines bright above us. Do you wish to take a break and share a cup of tea with me? A bit of rest is needed to continue working hard. A little dessert will keep us energized.

GOOD EVENING

What do you wish to have for dinner? I cannot join you, but I can send Tartaglia to keep you company. Oh, you do not wish to see Ajax? Then maybe Sága's company will be to your liking?

GOOD NIGHT

You may rest peacefully. The moon will keep a vigilant watch over us and nothing will dare bother you tonight.

ABOUT INNAMORATA: THE HANDLER

Work is an important part of life, and I take my duties as the Right Hand of Her Majesty Tsaritsa seriously. Ruling a whole nation is a heavy task, and I must relieve My Lady of some burden by commanding her army with a cold and calculated mind.

ABOUT INNAMORATA: MARDÖLL

To obtain something, you must lose something first. Just like with any power, something must be sacrificed to acquire said power. Names hold an important meaning, and I reserve this one for someone infamously special. A river cuts through rock not because of its power, but because of its persistence.

ABOUT INNAMORATA: VANADÍS

Lightning never strikes the same place twice, but nothing is impossible. Fate can be merciful and it can also be cruel. Only your own decisions dictate the place this lightning will illuminate with its wrathful light. She has already sealed her fate a long time ago and she must pay the price.

MORE ABOUT INNAMORATA: I

What is it? I do not have much time. Oh, you wish to know about my day? There is nothing special about about my everyday life. I awake before the sun does, prepare for the day ahead of me, and set off to perform my duties of The Handler. I come home after the sun has already fallen asleep, and follow in its lead. Oh, you think I work too much? That is a childish notion you have, Traveler. Commanding any army takes a lot of your time. Being the Commander of Snezhnayan army takes even more than that. Her Majesty Tsaritsa's ideals must become reality.

MORE ABOUT INNAMORATA: II | FRIENDSHIP LV. 3

What got you so contemplating, Traveler? You didn't listen to any word I've said. I see... So that's what has caught your attention. These flowers. These are called inteyvat, Outlander. There aren’t a lot of flora where I am from. Those flower fields were one of the only vegetation one could experience. Hard as stone and unbreakable as eternity, they still await the day I will bring them home, where they can finally find their rightful place. No need for any sorrowful discussions, however. Tell me how your day went, instead.

INNAMORATA’S HOBBIES

An activity to pass the time? I am a very busy woman, with little to no time on such frivolities. But I do enjoy a good stage play. I am even personally acquainted with my favorite actress.

Without Her Majesty’s kindness, I would not have been where I am now. I shall work restlessly to repay her.

ABOUT TARTAGLIA | FRIENDSHIP LV. 4

Ajax? What a buzzing nuisance that boy grew up to be. All he does is look for fights and pick on my handmaiden. He is a useful tool for our cause, however, so the Fatui must endure a little chaos — Speak of the devil… Ajax, come here this instance.

ABOUT LA SIGNORA | FRIENDSHIP LV. 4

Disappointment.

SOMETHING TO SHARE: DUTY | FRIENDSHIP LV. 4

As Snezhnayan Army General, I often have to give out orders that do not please me personally yet are beneficial for the nation. Being a Commander takes a vast amount of courage and an immense sense of duty. Some sacrifices are necessary for the greater good of common people. Knowing that fact and utilizing it when the time calls for it, that is the most important trait that makes you an excellent leader.

[NAME] EINHERJAR

ALL OF THE FOLLOWING VOICE-OVERS ARE UNLOCKED BY COMPLETING THE ARCHON QUEST: TIME, DEVOURER OF ALL THINGS; ANY EXTRA REQUIREMENT WILL BE NOTED.

HELLO: FATEFUL CROSSROADS

I am Queen [Name] of the House Einherjar, the Second of Her Name, Supreme Sovereign of Khaenri’ah, Lady of Vanaheimr, Seidkona of the Vanir, Liberator of the Æsir, Harbinger of Peace, Keeper of the Sessrúmnir, Defender of the Brísingamen, Wielder of Fólkvangr and the Vǫlva of Delusions. But do not mind the titles, Traveler. My friends should not concern themselves with unnecessary grandeur. Just call me [Name].

CHAT: PICKY EATER

No, I refuse to consume that. Have you no consideration for my health? Or my preferences? Oh, it was prepared by Sága? Why didn’t you say so? There is nothing better than Sága’s cooking.

CHAT: A WHISPER TO ONESELF

You must not look at the sky for too long. You might see something that they do not wish you to notice. Oh, do not worry… Just talking to myself.

CHAT: BIRTHDAY TRADITIONS

In my culture, it is customary to gift one a special star for their birthday. Once the person passes away, those stars are melted into a moon that lights their sky in the afterlife. I do not possess the necessary ore to craft you that star, however. So I must inquire about the traditions of your homeland and prepare the celebration accordingly.

SOMETHING TO SHARE: TASTE OF HOME | FRIENDSHIP LV. 4

I quite enjoy the taste of sugar. It reminds me of home. I remember Sága making us herbal tea before bed. She added a lot of sweetener to it, to mask the bitter taste of herbs. Teyvat’s tea isn’t bitter, but I drink it sweet out of habit.

WHEN THUNDER STRIKES

That woman needs to calm her attitude.

WHEN THE WIND IS BLOWING

Someone needs to be more mindful of others.

IN THE DESERT

Nostalgic, this sight is.

ABOUT US: ALLY OR FOE | FRIENDSHIP LV. 6

I am well aware, I have taken you in as my new temporary companion at such a short notice, but do not worry about protecting me or seeking protection from me. No harm shall befall any of us as long as I breathe.

ABOUT US: BROTHER | FRIENDSHIP LV. 6

When the time comes, I will tell you everything you wish to know. But for now continue your journey with no worry in your heart. The both of you are safe. I give you my word.

ABOUT VENTI | FRIENDSHIP LV. 4

That drunkard of a bard? His tunes are pleasant, yet the stench of him is something that I would very much like to avoid. Mondstadt’s dandelion wine is delightful, those who indulge in it, however, are not so much so.

ABOUT ZHONGLI | FRIENDSHIP LV. 4

The consultant of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor? I don’t have much opinion on him, although Ajax seems to favor his company. He doesn’t strike me as a pleasant man, however. Not only he disregards any manners by constantly making others pay for him, but he also likes to talk too much about the history that has been biased by the perspective of the victors. Do keep it a secret, but whenever we meet, I tend to tune him out and enjoy the tea with Ajax instead.

ABOUT BEIDOU | FRIENDSHIP LV. 4

Ah yes, Beidou, the Uncrowned Lord of the Ocean. I have heard of her, of course. How could I not, when people like indulging themselves in a bit of usually exaggerated gossip. Unfortunately for you, I am not acquainted with the Captain of The Crux, yet my handmaid seems to be. Maybe you should ask her instead.

ABOUT THE RAIDEN SHOGUN | FRIENDSHIP LV. 4

There is not much to say about Inazuma’s ruler. A puppet cannot replace a human.

ABOUT ARLECCHINO | FRIENDSHIP LV. 4

Dishonorable woman, that one. Do not associate yourself with her.

ABOUT IL DOTTORE | FRIENDSHIP LV. 4

Stay clear of Zandik. It is not a suggestion but an order. You will gain nothing from the Wise Doctor.

ABOUT NAHIDA | FRIENDSHIP LV. 4

The child god might be the most tolerable deity I have ever had a chance of meeting. It truly shows that wisdom comes not with age but with the trials and tribulations you must endure to gain it.

ABOUT RHINEDOTTIR | FRIENDSHIP LV. 5

Her head will be served to the Golden Wolf Lord. I promise you that.

ABOUT COLUMBINA | FRIENDSHIP LV. 5

Our little Aevum? Oh my, Traveler… Do not ask the question if you're not prepared to hear the answer.

ABOUT PIERRO | FRIENDSHIP LV. 6

There is nothing about Jöfurr Alberich that should concern you, my friend. We call him The Jester for a reason. My uncle is a fool, after all.

ABOUT KAEYA | FRIENDSHIP LV. 6

Jöfurr’s son? That boy has lost what is truly important to him. Yet I am glad he is as far away from my uncle as possible. As long as he does the job he was entrusted with, he will have an easy life. Yet something tells me he will have a tough choice to make. I hope it will not result in another brother lost.

MORE ABOUT [NAME]: III | FRIENDSHIP LV. 4

You wish to know more about me? Of course, anything in particular? Reading? I do enjoy a good book or two. However, I am more well versed in historical transcripts and anything that is related to the days-gone-by. I do not take pride in bragging, but I do have quite a library collection. That is unlikely that my catalogue has anything that can catch you interest, but you are free to borrow something if it does. Anything I am interested in the moment? There always is! There is this book I am actually looking for. An extremely important one. They say Sumeru holds all the knowledge of the world, maybe I should pay the Akademiya another visit. Would you like to accompany me?

MORE ABOUT [NAME]: IV | FRIENDSHIP LV. 5

You worry for your sister? That is only natural for an older brother to fret for his little sister's wellbeing. I had siblings too, you know. Where are they now? I am afraid this I cannot tell you, but I can assure you that your sister is in safe hands. I wouldn't have let her go if I had even a sliver of doubt in my heart that it might put her in harm's way. Oh, I see... You fear for what awaits her on this path of vengeance. I must apologize then. She and I share the same goal and have taken the two different routes of the same path. The both of us are well aware that revenge yields two graves, or so they say. Yet I hope when the day comes for those who wronged me to taste my pain, I will watch them all willingly fall in that very grave of mine. Only then I will be able to finally rest in peace. I am sure your sister shares this sentiment.

MORE ABOUT [NAME]: V | FRIENDSHIP LV. 6

Traveler, will you do me a favor and look over these parchments for me? Reading so much is extremely taxing on one's eyesight, sometimes my vision fails me. I should try and get rid of the source of the problem, you say? Oh, my silly friend... There is nothing for me to do without my Fatui mask. Oh, you meant the curse... I see. Well, let me tell you that my moody vision has nothing to do with it. I worry about Sága a lot, however. Her peculiar bloodline is what is holding the effects of the curse back, yet time will always catch up to you no matter how fast you run away. I should worry more about myself? Do not fret about me like that. A wise Queen will endure anything for the good of her people.

[NAME]'S TROUBLES

Aevum keeps feeding my cats sweet things. Sugar is bad for their teeth. Do you happen to have any advice on how can I stop that disobedient child?

BIRTHDAY

A blessed day to be born. May your sky be lit up with thousands of stars to shine up your way to happiness. And may nothing sway you from that path you paved for yourself. Happy birthday to you, my dear friend.

FAVORITE FOOD

Oh no, Traveler! Do not listen to Sága, I am not picky about my food choices. I do not have much preference, and I will eat very much anything except Teyvat's vegetables. However, if I were to choose something that I would not get tired of, it would be Inazuman desserts. And now that I am thinking about it, Snezhnayan grandmothers put their souls into their homemade dishes. You should visit Ajax's family home to have a taste of his grandmother's borshch.

LEAST FAVORITE FOOD

Vegetables. I am not used to eating those. Where I am from, we had only high maintenance fruit trees and rare grain fields. Our primary source of sustenance were fowl and fish. I am much more comfortable with keeping my diet void of any foods that I am not familiar with.

FEELINGS ABOUT ASCENSION: INTRO | ASCENSION PHASE 1

Power comes not from the gods, but from the work one puts into getting stronger. It takes a year to harness the power of the elements to turn it into a Shard of Divinity. Delusions do not choose you, you choose your Delusion. Pyro, Cryo, Hydro, Electro, Geo, and Anemo. All tamed by the hand of a dedicated alchemist. Dendro is the only element that cannot be utilized for a Delusion.

FEELINGS ABOUT ASCENSION: BUILDING UP | ASCENSION PHASE 2

It takes up to 15 days to create a single Delusion. You must give up yourself and be reborn as someone else, who the Shard of Divinity deems worthy. The process is tiring on the body and taxing on the mind. Yet the outcome is nothing short of a blessing.

FEELINGS ABOUT ASCENSION: CLIMAX | ASCENSION PHASE 4

It takes years to master a Delusion. Those who are not granted a Vision have a harder time controlling the elemental energy within the Shard of Divinity. But those who manage, obtain way more power from their Delusion than any Vision they could have gotten otherwise. You cannot control more than one Delusion at a time, but you can try and become a god by mastering more than one.

FEELINGS ABOUT ASCENSION: CONCLUSION | ASCENSION PHASE 6

It takes a will of stone and tremendous dedication to control more than one element. To know where your strengths end and weaknesses begin, that is the true extent of one’s power. You should focus on those strengths and when you do, the path to the Blade of Fólkvangr will open up before you.

Who should play Black Beetle in a Blue Beetle Sequel?

In anticipation of my most anticipated movie of the year, I have been watching/reading as much Blue Beetle content as I can directly blast into my eyeballs.

My personal favorite of the bunch is the second season of Young Justice. While he starts off as a secondary character, Blue Beetle quickly becomes to protagonist of the season, and even gets his own rival in the form of alien villain Black Beetle.

Black Beetle is one of my favorite villains in the show. He simultaneously represents how powerful Jaime could be and how dangerous he could be if he goes rogue.

I do think if we get more Blue Beetle content in the future, Black Beetle will be a main physical antagonist in the same way Conrad Carapax is in this next film.

I thought it would be fun to give my fancast for the character.

To be clear, I am not casting Black Beetle of the comics, who is a time traveling swinder, I am casting Black Beetle of Young Justice, who is a reach enforcer.

So apologies Black Beetle comic stans.

Essential Characteristics?

Black Beetle is a force. Being able to take on whole teams, including Kryptonians, Atlanteans, Amazonians and Martians. He is smart on the battlefield and understands how to use his scarab better than anyone.

We need someone who feels cocky and dangerous. He cherishes the thought of a battle but often doesn't find a real one.

Black Beetle is also devoted to the conquering of other planets for the Reach. We want someone who can seem loyal to his people, even if what he is doing is insane and hurting others. Think Zod in Man of Steel.

Other Stipulations?

Our Blue Beetle Xolo is about 6 ft tall. We want an actor larger than him.

While a tank like Dave Batista is ideal, I think we can settle for big instead of massive.

Our Black Beetle should feel older and wiser than Jaime, but in their prime as a warrior. Maybe mid 30s to mid 40s.

Black Beetle is voiced by a person of color, and while normally I don't think it matters for aliens, for this I would like to keep it.

Blue Beetle is a mainly hispanic cast, and I think keeping the cast mostly people of color is pretty special.

As always, I don't like casting people known for other big superhero roles. So my boy Batista is out.

3. Jay Ellis

Known for his roles in Insecure and Top Gun Maverick, it's amazing to me Jay Ellis has not had a major role in a superhero movie.

In Insecure as Lawrence, he showed emotional and comedic range, going toe to toe with big names like Issa Rae.

Ellis is also insanely built. He has the physicality needed I think to play such a role. Just look up Top Gun Maverick honestly.

While I think he can physically embody the role well and play an antagonistic villain, but with this much charisma, it may come off too heroic. I wonder if he is better suited for a Lantern down the line.

2. Regé Jean-Page

I was very torn between my second and first choice. Originally, this was my guy.

Regé Jean Page is a fantastic actor.

Known for roles in Bridgerton and Dungeons and Dragons, Page is known for playing Brawlers with a bit of a dark side. While these tend to be heroic, I think as a villain those skills can be well utilized.

While he is not the force Black Beetle usually is, Page could play a Black Beetle so knowledgable, it's terrifying still to come up against him.

Much like Ellis, I worry Page may be better suited for a heroic or antiheroic role. He was on the short list for Seg-El in the show Krypton, which tells me he gives more Superman than General Zod.

1. O'Shea Jackson Jr.

I've been following Jackson's career ever since he played his father, and I gotta say, the guy's incredible.

Known for roles in Cocaine Bear, Straight Outta Compton, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Ingrid Goes West, the man has charisma and acting chops to spare.

What I love him for particularly in this role is his intimidating nature in Straight Outta Compton. He is swinging bats, fighting with his fellow rappers, and even using his words to put down terrible reporters disrespecting him.

To me that's Black Beetle, the baddest guy in the room and he knows it.

Jackson also has a swagger about him that doesn't come off as, let's just say douchey, compared to the others on this list. While the other two would be great for love interests or heroes, Jackson has that right energy for the strongest guy in the room.

While he is 5'11, I think Jackson has enough pure acting chops to play an incredible villain. One that could really put the fear in Jaime Reyes.

I'd be extremely happy to see him don the suit, and have an incredible beetle vs beetle battle.

I have 2 interpretations of dametagala:

One where GK's a huge dork and DMK's a goth hobo (The dynamic that i've been making a whole bunch of content for basically, love it!)

The other where GK's an old, grumpy war veteran with a huge grudge against chivalry and knights while DMK's a chaotic bastard who acts in the most outrangeous ways unbefitting of a knight that charms Gala. (Still kinda under developed, but making content for this interpretation is definitely on my to do list.)

More detailed stuff under cut:

The first one is where GK's actually more of a dork contrary to how he's universally potrayed and he falls in love with that one scary hobo everyone stays away from. DMK was always being bad mouthed whenever he was the topic of any conversation and MK never talked much about him even when he informed GK about the events of KATAM. This made Gala even MORE curious and he made it his decision to know this guy better himself if they ever were to meet. Once he knew more about him, he realized he was just really misunderstood. Sure he was bad in a sense, but he never really seemed like he'd want to hurt anybody for no reason. Not to mention that his world is AWFUL. No wonder he's so grumpy all the time......

While on DMK's side, he really appreciates GK seeing him as someone more than an evil Meta knight. He achknowledges his existence and accepts his flaws. At first, he didn't know how to react and retorted aggresively at GK's actions. Though, once he calmed down and actually thought things through, he understood GK a lot more and fell in love.

Now OHOHOH! The second one is an entirely different AU! The Dream friend AU! GK's personality is a lot different here. He's much more hot-tempered, violent and holds the most spiteful grudges against anyone who had caused him pain (Watch out Sir Arthur...). However, he still has his heroic traits whenever there isn't any war. This Gala "acts" more mature than the one in the first interpretation. I say "act" because they're both equally serious. It's just that the circumstances for these two are very different and they have to act accordingly to their surroundings. Anyways, going back on topic, he hates Meta Knight with a burning passion due to his past with the GSA. In his eyes, Meta Knight's a kiss assing, boot licking servant who would do anything to get praised by everyone and increase his image (which isn't true, but that was the impression he got from MK when they were both very young. It still hasn't changed, but it definitely would once they interact more.). While DMK is a whole 'nother story. When they first met, he didn't care for him, as he saw Dameta as nothing but a reflection of MK's bad traits, therfore, he should be just as bad as Meta, maybe even worse. However, when Gala traveled with DMK more to save the whole universe of Void Termina, he got to know him a little better and even got charmed by his violent solutions to even the most trivial problems. He doesn't even care about chilvary or any of that knight nonsense that MK values so much. His murderous, carefree spirit entertained GK through their journey. It made his life on dreamland a lot more lively too. DMK has a special place in his heart!

maybe he'll convince him to go find what's left of the Ancients and slaughter them together~ 💖

While on DMK's side, he first saw GK as someone he could manipulate into giving him more infomation on the Jamba hearts so he could use their power. He was pretty confident he could pull it off until he actually met him and kind of chickened out. It was cowardly, but still a smart choice. He even felt kind of bad about it after GK opened up and told a few tid bits of his tragic backstory. When Dameta saw this guy in action, he immediately fell in love. Imagine the stuff they could do with this guy! The epic pranks! Maybe even overthrowing Shadow Dedede and taking over all of the mirror world! Gala wasn't opposed to the idea of opening up more and making new friends too. As he knew well that being overly cautious in Dreamland was a stupid idea. Then they somehow became the most chaotic and dangerous duo in all the galaxy, causing MK even more migraines than the one in the first interpretation.

#quan blovk #kirby nintendo #galacta knight #dark meta knight #dametagala #i love them both equally #ALSO I HAVE NO IDEA IF ANY OF THIS MADE SENSE #i wrote this when i was rlly eepy #but with dametagala brainrot.#bleh

Hey! I'm that anon that asked about the Weave and it's potentials. I'm so happy that you liked the idea because I've actually decided to come up with more ideas!

It's started with me thinking "man, it's a damn shame that there's only one Tav origin story (Dark Urge), it would have been way cooler if there were more options! But maybe I can work something out". So what if this Tav was a unique Weave magic? I've noticed that if you play as a sorcerer and do the magic lesson date with Gale they literally say "that's the deity you wizards adore, Mystra right?" which makes me wonder if sorcerers don't need to worship her since they are born with magic already (maybe some do worship her but I guess it's their choice altogether). Also, we know that Mystra is the goddess of magic but what if there was (potentially) a god of the INNER magic. You know the say (if you ever heard it) that every human is a whole universe. So what if we applied that in "every sentient being is a Weave on its own". What if there was someone (Tav) who can tap not only their inner magic but also other people's inner magic, even to those who don't have a strong connection with arcana/magic this someone can connect you with it like it's second nature and to those who are already well connected with them to amplify it. Not only that but maybe with the help of this Tav the magic that comes out of the person that's being helped is unique and special. What if this Tav, with this mysterious new Weave has also the possibility to become a whole new deity (of inner magic). I bet Mystra would try everything in her power to not have new competition.

Now here comes another idea: What if Tav has this unique Weave because there's been an imbalance with magic/ Mystra is turning into a potential danger? They don't necessarily need to eliminate her, at the very least to expose that something is not right about this version of her (since Mystra was once a mortal has Tav stated to Gale specifically to convince him to not fall for the Crown). Mystra becomes aware that her position as a goddess is in danger (plus the potential risk of another Karsus on the horizon) so either during or after the main story Mystra orders Gale to either bring them to her, or worse kill them either by his hand or by detonating. So, depending on how your relationship with Gale is... will he follow through Mystra's order, or will he finally cut once and for all his ties with her? (to add a sprinkle of angst maybe Mystra makes him unable to use magic forever until Tav helps him find his inner magic). Ohhh the angst potential is big!!

Honestly thought, I would rather have Mystra to just be put to justice since she's been horrible on poor Gale. Not only that but apparently I've heard that even if Gale sacrificed himself it wouldn't resolve the problem of the mind flayer at all, just a convenient thing to get rid of the Crown and the Karsus Weave aka Gale. Also I saw somewhere that apparently where Minsc was born any child with incredible magic where hidden and trained in secret to make sure that Mystra didn't find them and do gods what! Seriously, what the hell is wrong with her and her interest with talented children?!? It's like she finds them just so she can mold them to what she likes and doesn't like?!

So sorry that you have to get another long ask but I couldn't resist myself. Have a nice day!

Hello again!

Sorry it took me ages to respond. That is a lot of things and work is killing me to the point I have almost zero energy for internet-browsing >.<

But first things first. Sorcerers.

From my understanding, nobody needs to worship any god to use the Weave (Shadow Weave aside, as it has the unfortunate side-effect of driving you mad if not protected by Shar, I think?). Being on good terms with Mystra could possibly get you access to some neat abilities, but she doesn't lock the Weave away from your average joe. I'm sure she could, but that would be a micro-management nightmare :D

That being said, I don't think magic works the same way on each Plane? Warlocks come to mind, they can have a Fey patron for example, so my guess would be the Feywild has its own source of magic, parallel to Mystra's Weave? Even if not, headcanoning Tav being Fey themselves sounds very appealing.

I think stranger things have happened in the Realms than someone from another Plane bringing with them some mysterious force or artifact or…anything. I mean, I think the Dragonborn kind of made their entrance to this world this way? Crash-landing on Faerun and bringing along their gods (very oversimplified, I know!)?

Now, Mystra.

As much as I am ambivalent to outright hostile towards her, depending on her incarnation, I don't think she has much to fear? An upstart god poses literally no threat to her. She has been around for far too long and has way too much power. Would it be a nuisance for her? Sure. D&D Gods have surprisingly fragile egos, I noticed.

I think it would take some outer-plane god in equal power to make her outright hostile. Like, someone who can wield the magic she locked away or someone who has alternative means to access that destructive level of magic to make another Karsus's Folly situation.

But damn, you have some angsty ideas going on in your head, Anon, I love it :D

As for Gale himself…well, I talked a lot about how inconsiderate and cruel Mystra's role has been in his story. I have no idea if she knew about the Absolute being a Netherbrain or not, but come on…even Elmister says "she's Mystra, of course she knows" and I'm pretty sure this is the case. She knows, but doesn't care.

To her it's a foolproof plan - the upstart god is gone along with its Chosen and the orb and Crown of Karsus is out of the picture. All it takes is the annihilation of a few mortals, her former Chosen as well, but again - just some mortal - and then a few thousand more when mindflayers will pop-up left and right.

And again, I don't know much about the 5ed D&D Mystra, but the game doesn't paint a pretty picture of her. Then again, very in character for someone labeled as "lawful neutral". I'd like to see some justice, but that is out of the scope of…well, anyone at this point, I think. Unless she crosses Ao or some really unimaginable things happen, she is pretty much safe from any consequence. As gods usually are.

At this point it's neat to headcanon Tav becoming powerful enough in a century or two and go have a talk with some really powerful beings that were harassing their loved ones :)

#but I DO like the idea of an alternative magic source #not even another Weave #but something...new #need to ponder on this #thank you for the ask!!#bg3 spoilers

Olu watches Aizawa, not really understanding how he does the things he does with that look of his but it works well. Even now when they were on errands together, he was a well known face to those that needed to know it and seemingly it was a lot more than Olu' thought. Still, attention was once more theirs and theirs alone - to which the larger of the two spoke up with some curiosity. "Is your work ever done?" He questioned with wonder, since being a Hero must be a tasking thing to aim for - now he kind of understands Shoto's need to get out of it, to hide in arms of those that want to hold him from the horrors of the world.

"Is it so normal here for children to be thrown into the frontlines because of their ... 'quirks'?" Olu wasn't a fan of it, to think in this country - Osakwe could have been tossed into a school like this with expectations to fight.

❝ ━ when they graduate, i'm going to retire. i'll always be their teacher, but i'm tired. ❞ aizawa was honest with himself, being a hero was what he had wanted to be. it's something he went into headfirst knowing what the outcome could be at any time of day. but it's also the reason why he so harshly dissuades certain students from pursuing heroics at all. not every kid wanted to be a hero on the frontlines. no kid expected to be in the middle of a war, no parent wanted to see their young child's multilated body on a stretcher and the erasure hero knew first hand what it was like to lose someone precious to him. he'd lost oboro and now midnight and there's no telling what else that he will lose. ❝ ━ i didn't have to be a hero, i could've done anything but i wanted to be worth something, ❞ he admits gruffly, lids sliding close as his heart stutters at his own admission. he remembers just how hard he worked, how he really had no one in his corner.

yes, he had his friends but they didn't really understand what it was like to grow up with no one on his side. with his quirk, he could stop the villains he always saw on t.v., he could be of help. and everyone had been raving about ua, allmights alma mater, and he found himself wanting to be a part of that, just a little.

❝ ━ even some of the best quirks i've seen aren't on the frontlines, they're hidden away, helping where they can. in a society like this where quirks are seen as a miracle, something special, and sometimes not special at all, it can be a huge pressure. i would never willingly put my kids on the frontline, it was a ridiculous choice made by those above me. all of them had already been too much and i expected everyone of them to want different for themselves. ❞ he wanted them to be kids, to deal with teenage angst, not villains who targeted them because of allmight's legacy, of the legacy of what it was to be a hero.

tilting his head up, shoulders drop, a subtle pout to his lips as brows furrowed, ❝ ━ i try to rest when i can. ever since i was young, ive never really stopped. one of my...um, i hold a lot of guilt, asking myself if i was stronger, if i was faster, i could prevent things and in that mindset, there's never any chance for a proper rest. what if i'm resting and one of them needs me ? what if i'm resting and something goes to shit ? ❞ painful thoughts that keep his hypervigilance alive and his entirety suffers terribly because of it. ❝ ━ i'll die protecting them, protecting those i care about, but truthfully, i don't want to die being a hero. maybe of old age ? owning a cat cafe, maybe. i do want a life outside of this, but i've never given myself that chance because of well...my own career choice.❞

"Very."

Are your parents still married?

"Did you not hear me about the bugs? And the destruction? Any of it?"

"This is really just a fluff piece meant to improve your public image after rejoining the Alliance, ma'am."

She rolled her eyes, "Ugh, fine. No. They're dead. Is that fluffy enough for you?"

=EIGHT THINGS ABOUT YOUR LOVE LIFE=

Are you in love?

"Maybe."

Do you believe in love at first sight?

"Yes." "You want to elaborate on that?"

"I got resuscitated by a rogue organization with mixed motivations. Led to some hurt feelings. I didn't handle it well either."

"What about your team? Do you consider them family?"

"You don't save the galaxy twice and not get close to a few people. And no, we don't always get along. But we always make up…mostly"

Would you say you have a “messed up life”?

"I want you to think about that one for a moment."

"Every single thought and feeling no mattter how inane? Every moment of every day? Every miniscule freckle and scratch and ingrown hair? Ludicrous."

"I guess it is."

"Are we done here?"

"You can go, Commander. Thank you for your time."

Hey John! There‘s been an idea on my mind and, if you‘re up for fics right now, I would be super grateful if you could write it. Maybe Thorne is there as a guest on Campbell‘s radio show and they get in the way of chatting about music and become friends (or even more, maybe?). Thank you in advance ♥️

Oooh, that's an interesting combo, I don't believe I've ever seen it before.

This is after Campbell gets his own show, so, like, post-canon stuff.

On with the fic!

"This is Campbell Bain, the bane of your life, bringing you all the latest and classic hits of this time and before! Today we've got a very special guess on the show that I'm sure some of you are just dyin' to listen to! His silky voice comin' at you live through your speakers and headphones, probably much more tolerable than mine!"

Campbell grinned, glancing over at the man in the booth with him. "I'll introduce this mystery guest to you after I play my pick for today's 'First Up Oldie', hope you're in the mood for a little Johnny Mathis!"

He set the needle on the record and the song began to play before he turned to his guest.

The man was slightly older than Campbell, dressed in what was considered punk style, much different from Campbell's own choice of... well.... he wasn't sure what his style was called.

His eyes were painted in eyeliner, he wore all sorts of jewelry, and he was smirking in a way that Campbell could register as implying a number of things. "You think a bunch of people who listen to ya for oldies is gonna wanna hear an interview from an up-and-comin' punk artist?"

"Hey, hey, I play modern stuff too." Campbell replied, waving a finger. "I like the old stuff, reminds me of my first DJ job. 'n fact, it's an homage to it!"

"Right, the St. Jude's hour you do on Fridays?" Thorne asked, leaning back in his seat.

Campbell blinked, surprised by that. "You listen to my show?"

"Course I do! 's why I specifically requested you to interview me!" Thorne replied as he put his arms behind his head, smirking at Campbell still. "I like your style, kid, it's a whole... hodge podge of whatever, and you clearly don't give two shits. Respect."

Campbell's grin was wider now before he suddenly turned back to the controls before him as the song started to end. "And that was Wonderful, Wonderful by Johnny Mathis, a true classic! Now, onto the interview with someone who I certainly hope will become a class in his own right far into the future! Do ya wanna introduce yourself to our listeners?"

"Oh, I suppose." Thorne chuckled, sitting up, leaning towards the mic before him. "Hello out there, radio listeners. Name's Thorne Jamison, and I'm gonna be the biggest name in punk since the 1970s, just you wait."

"I think that went well." Thorne said, removing the headphones from his head, handing them over to the host. "Do you think people liked it?"

"Well, considering those calls we got, I'd say they did." Campbell replied, smiling. He sure was a chipper guy, always smiling and grinning, Thorne noted. It was kinda cute.

"And you're gonna play my music on your show?"

"Of course I am! Gotta get it known, yeah? And what better way than through the show hosted by the loony! You'd be surprised by how often I get letters and calls from people who like gettin' their music selections from someone like me."

"Nice, nice." Thorne nodded, standing up from his seat, holding out a hand. Campbell looked at it, then took it. "Lovely meetin' you, Bain. We should meet up again sometime, my treat."

Campbell blinked a few times. "Oh, uh, ya wanna do that?"

"'Course, I like you, kid. Wouldn't mind gettin' to know you more, yeah?"

"Uh, sure! Yeah, we can do that!" Campbell replied, shaking his hand before pulling back, his grin in place once more.

"Well then, here's my card." Thorne pulled it from his wallet, then headed for the door, but not before holding his hand up to his face, thumb and pinky sticking out, mouthing 'call me' with a wink. And with that, he was out the door.

#takin' over the asylum #laws of attraction #campbell bain #thorne jamison #john's drabbles #good omens extended universe

MusicOr... Strangers by Jake Cornell

Favorite Lyrics: So if we both don't call, then who am I to say ⬩ That you're the one at fault for choosing not to stay? ⬩ I'm playing all my cards but oh, you got me thinking out loud ⬩ Is it my fault we're strangers now?;

Many things circulate through my head all the time. Sometimes I wish there was a way to restrain my feelings and desires (along with my eyes and brain) in a straight-jacket. I'm this non-stop-thinking living creature who constantly forgots how to listen to his own soul. That looks in the mirror after hours of self-doubt to wonder: "Why are like this? Look at this incredible guy in front of you". Just like love, friendships are always at the center of my mind. Aren't we all like this, anyway? Always putting too much weight into social connections.

However, I have an aggravating factor to my already not-so-good connection with my overflowing thoughts. I hate to use that as an excuse, but I got traumatized about my way of being a friend ever since the situation that caused me to write Your Way To Handle Things happened. Now I second guess every word I say, and I catch myself overanalyzing every stupid reckless thing I ever said, even when I meant no harm (I never do, of course; it's just my unfiltered thoughts scraping fast through my mind).

That's the reason why it's so easy to resonate with songs that talk about lost relationships. Strangers by Jake Cornell probably wasn't created about a friendship, but that's how it connected with me. Recently I've been feeling so alone even surrounded by people mostly friends). One unfortunate event made me leave my current house for a few days, and it was right when I discovered this song while scrolling through Instagram. It didn't fit the exact situation I was in, but it reverberated in me, as the person who puts their pride on a shelf for another person because I'd rather be in peace than being right. Or for not being called and for not being chosen. Not to mention that he's an emerging artist, and I love to see them being discovered and recognized. Gives me hope for my future.

It's part of becoming an adult to put yourself in the first place, and it's incredible that people do that, but I wonder who drew the line on that? Where does your self-importance starts so that you might stop caring about someone else? That you might not think you could be of importance to that other person? It's a hard concept for me to understand, specially being so empathetic like I am. Unfortunatelly, that's when one realizes that they can't expect to be treated as they treat, because that reciprocity is rarely going to happen. Even my best friend here now doesn't quite get it how hard these past few months have been for me. Let alone a new acquaintance. And everyone is also facing their own battles at the end of the day.

There are so many people that I feel like a stranger to right now. The friend that I used to spend weekends with watching TV shows, who didn't appear to say goodbye to me when I was leaving the country — but did appear to say the same kind of goodbye to my ex-boyfriend (whom she only met because of me). Or the friend that (unlike this previous friend I mentioned) made it possible to see me now that I'm in London, but who is the reason I'm so late at the "following my dreams" party — and who questions my decisions, when she was partly responsible for the choices I'm making and for the beliefs I'm with great effort trying to change. I almost cried when we entered the subject.

All those times I spent down in the dirt thinking that I am better off alone, maybe they weren't just my self-sabotage mind trying to make me feel sheltered inside my own sadness, that's cold and haunting, but safe. Maybe they were the reality I should follow. I just don't really know how to act around people. I have too many vices and setups that are just too much for everyone to see through and to understand, because that would require care and people are now too focused caring only about themselves. Maybe, after all, I'm really an unreachable and private stranger. To everyone, but to myself.

And to say I havent talked about the song: it's great, go check it out! It misses something, like a proper bridge, or a final chorus, but other than that it's the best thing Jake has put out yet and I'm excited to see what he has in store.

All the words I couldn't say

I remember the day we parted ways. I was sad but accepting. I tried not to think about you. It was easy. I thought I fell out of love with you. I couldn't feel the love, the spark anymore. I provided you with a choice, to take a break or to leave. You chose the latter. We agreed before that should we ever part ways, we were not to be strangers. We believed that we were mature enough to accept it. I agreed because I knew what type of person you were.

Looking back, I regret not fighting for us. I regret not trying harder. When I hear 'Back to December', I think about us. I think about all the times we could have worked things out.

I remember after we parted for some time, we had some chats. One of which you told me you tried to avoid me whenever you could. When I questioned why, you told me you felt jealous, envious that I was supposedly happier than you. That I was already seeing someone else. I confessed to you that I was not in fact seeing someone new, and that they, my friends, were a way to keep you out of my mind. You were upset that I was doing better than you but all those times I felt the urge to talk to you again, to maybe hope to reconcile and try again, I didn't act on it. Instead I gazed at you with envious but loving eyes, wishing you nothing but the best. I had full faith you'll find someone better, because I knew you. I knew you were a good guy and anyone would be lucky to have you.

I reached out too late. I realised too late. By the time I reached out in hopes of reconciling, you moved on. You were happier. I tried to create situations, scenarios where you had to talk to me. But we were hurt and you picked yourself up. You forgot the promise we made before parting. I was upset. I was filled with regret. Why hadn't I try sooner? Why was I so afraid? I could have had a fighting chance.

Then I saw you. How different you seemed. That was not the person I fell in love with. That was not the person I chose to love. You felt like a stranger to me and despite that, I was still utterly in love with you. Maybe I was reminiscing about old memories. I can't help it. You felt so right for me. Then again, I never saw anything bad. All my friends tell me that you pushed too much. At first, I found it hard to believe but the more I look at you, the more I see it. I could never picture my future with you. Even back then. Those fleeting moments I had with you were amazing. The secretive looks, the hidden matching items, it felt so special to me. I wonder sometimes if it was because we were just too quick.

After a while, I finally could let go of you. I could move on and not second guess my feelings.

I found someone new. Someone who I can talk to, who understands me. Although sometimes it gets a little lonely, I still want to try and love them. I want to build something with them. I care for them a lot and I don't want to lose them. I can't bear losing them. I can't tell if I'm falling in love but if this is what love feels like, I'm glad it's gentle and refreshing.

I am so glad to have met you and experienced all I could with you. You taught me so much and I will always be thankful.

Every now and then, when I see you from afar, there is a pang in my heart. The 'what ifs' and 'what could have beens'. I know now it's the memories I wish to relive.

Maybe back then, I would have jumped at an opportunity to reconcile with you but when I saw you today, all I could think about was my partner. How much I missed them, how I missed their company, how I missed their voice. I'll have you to thank. I wish you all the best, maybe when you have settled down, we can chat like old friends, catching up on life, going back to before everything happened.

I realised my feelings better and I'm glad and relieved that you are not the person I pictured in my future. So thank you, for being there at an important part of my life. I've learned a lot from you and I'll never regret the way things turn out.

SNK keeps on being amazing. ( A rant that is not really one. )

133.

Just this panel alone is able to confirm everything that I wanted from this manga.

Eren's condition has always been what I suspected.

Ever since he sided with his brother Zeke, who manipulated Marley in attacking Eldia to retrieve the founder and other titans. Something THEY DIDN'T WANT TO DO, because they were being pressured by many other countries and were not as powerful as before due to their lack of powerful weapons like the ones in the Middle Eastern Alliance which were able to PIERCE through the fucking Armored Titan.

THIS resulted in the fucking festival and we know what happened then. Dozens of people died including children continuing the cycle of hate that has been started for god knows how long. And Eren WILLINGLY took a part in it because he wanted his actions to be a little easier while he was going to genocide the whole fucking world.

INCLUDING his own island because let's be honest when Eren is done with the Rumbling, destroying every ecosystems. EVERYTHING that keeps a planet alive, his little island won't live for long.

"The ground... It's crying." CHAPTER 131 said by one of the goddamn kids he fucking killed.

Marley is now sure, let's fucking kill all Eldians.

He did his attack on Liberio, he betrayed everyone. Crushing Hange's every possibilities of finding a peaceful way of settling things down after having been hidden MANY useful informations by Eren, Zeke and his group but also the Azumabitos.

Sparking a civil war inside Eldia, leading to an Eldian supremacist group cause let's be honest when Floch killed that Marleyan and than gave his little first king Fritz speech, it was like seeing Hitler all over again and the Klux Klux Klan.

I MEAN... FLOCH OF ALL PEOPLE! A guy who has PTSD after seing dozens of his comrades died, their faces exploded by fucking thrown rocks. He bastardized Erwin's ideologies and no matter how good willing he was, he was just a dead man walking acting like a fool.

He also betrays his own party now, the Jeagerist by allowing the very people they tried to stop the power to stop him. By activating the Rumbling, he also caused the death of Eldians inside the walls as we've been shown with Hitch.

AND THE WORST... destroy every connection he has with his friends. Hurting them, putting them in danger by the very group he created and the Titans.

Oh but that's not all...

He uses the titan the same way Marley did it, with oppression and violence. He is not stopping the cycle of hate, he is continuing it. And it will have repercussions inside the very group of people he tried to defend.

People killed each other inside the walls and they will kill each other without it. Mikasa as shown us that when her parents got murdered and she almost became a slave.

And he killed Hange with these same titans. I don't care if they sacrificed themself. He didn't live up to what he preached. They died and Hange was someone close to him and was concerned with his well being. Maybe it was too late but they also had many other priorities as Hange was commander. They also fell into depression because of their position. One of his mentors and friends, one who tried to talk with him while he was in that cell planning to destroy the world...

talking to himself...

At this point, you know where I'm going with this. We've all suspected it, we all know it. Let's not be blind about it.

Eren is influenced by the Attack Titan. Not Ymir (at least I hope so and I think so), not Kruger and certainly not Grisha.

It's pretty clear now.

I mean Eren's change happens off screen, every time we see him he is completely different from what we used to know of him.

He barely cares about his friend and don't give me the bullcrap of (hE dOeS tHiS fOr tHeM.) If he was he would have secured them and put them in a place where they wouldn't interfere, he would have tried to convince them. HE WOULD HAVE COMMANDED FLOCH NOT TO HURT THEM.

He would have not commited genocide after knowing what it led to with Reiner, Annie and Bertholt.

That's not Eren. And the stupid argument of "hE's aLwAyS bEeN vIoLeNt". That's just bullcrap and it just destroy every bit of beautiful empathy we have seen of him. With Mikasa, Armin and Historia. Levi who he respected a lot.

It just isn't coherent. Every action he does is not coherent since the timeskip.

NOW HE'S CHALLENGING HIS FRIEND ? WTF ?

I mean is no one questionning this, doesn't it seem off from what we've seen of him.

Eren is no strategist BUT... he isn't stupid. Every sane person would know that these actions will not benefit anybody.

But... they still happened.

If we look back again, here is Eren being positive trying to put Armin in a good mood.

The outside world... endless possibilities. It's a man who wonders.

Yet, AT THE RIGHT MOMENT... he has a flashback of Faye. And his face just change.

Isn't it just weird ? Like at the right moment where he can have a positive outlook on thing. NOPE.

And this has been going and going and going...

Here:

Chapter 130.

Eren arrives in Liberio what does he see.

A flashback of his mother's death

I mean it's pretty clear now.

_________________________________________

Eren has been influenced and convinced by the Attack Titan that there's no way out. He's been reliving past memories of his and others, past memories that were traumatic. It put him in a state of depression and dread through 5 FUCKING YEARS. On top of that, he is able to see the future and what he saw will happen and has happened hence his reaction to Sasha's death.

A fucking mental breakdown.

Jesus Christ, I don't know if I've ever cursed that much in my life.

It's impossible to stop what is going to happen, because what is going to happen, needs to happen.

But as we know Sasha is in the afterlife with Erwin, Hange and the others. And we have been confirmed that this is the afterlife. So we have time-travelling, afterlife, 13 years curse, people who can turn into titans, parallel dimensions and Eren who can see through birds.

But the fandom said, no, the prospect of him being manipulated by the Attack Titan is impossible even after knowing it has special abilities.

I MEAN...

Umm... This has happened before. And I saw no one complain.

So why this ?

Is impossible ?

Especially when Eren's whole arc is about questionning his perspective of the world and becoming in control of his violence and rage. Having an agency. HELLOOOO!!!????

What better way of having the main threat of that being the very thing that causes all of his problems and his powers.

Doesn't this remind anyone of anything ?

Yep. The Uprising Arc. And who ? Historia, the girl whose all life, she couldn't act as herself or have any real agency.

Yes, you know the girl whose pregnant and decided to live the rest of her life Little House On The Prairie style. ( I mean I don't think it's her but... that's what it's looking right now. )

And who is a descendent of Ymir Fritz. With too much uncanney similarities between the two.

They could have said the Founder, Eren Jeager or something else but no they said... "It's the Attack Titan."

And it's not Ymir, if she was the one to control Eren. Why wouldn't she free herself on her own if she's able to do that ?

And in 131, she was clearly in a position where she was questionning her choice.

And perhaps she probably tried to stop Eren but the Attack Titan took over him and her. Using her powers as she is the founder.

And now just like Eren, she has no eyes. She is still a slave. Why ? I thought Eren freed her. So ? This is the only logical explanation right now.

I mean when is the last time we saw Eren.

He was sleeping inside his titan in 131. Having a dream about seeing his "sight" of freedom as a kid. And also potentially watching things with birds.

It's just weird. If he was fully in control, the characters wouldn't have questionned it and none of this weird shit would be happening.

He clearly doesn't have a free will.

This requires too much energy and Eren is a normal Eldian, not one of Royal Blood. Being both in Paths, watching this " sight ", communicating, watching with birds, moving his titan which is enormous and the thousands of colossal titans is clearly hard and too dangerous for only one person to do.

Isayama has fooled us all and me in the process.

All this time, it was that goddamn thing pulling the strings. And with the help of Isayama since he is the goddamn author of this series

In chapter 88, we learn the true meaning of Shingeki No Kyojin.

The beauty of the japanese language, as confusing as it is, can be translated by Attack On Titan, at least for us american and western audiences.

( yes because as someone pointed out in the comments, it's a mistranslation but since I don't understand how to give credit by linking because I don't understand how it works, i can't credit. So you can find the person in the comments. DO NOT JUDGE ME, tumblr is not the best place to post sometimes. )

But it's not the Attack on Titan anymore.

It's the Attack Titan.

( piece of shit is it's surname. )
