i see all these comments talking about this after the new episode, but. i would like to state for the record that stolitz isn't. toxic.

first off, the concept of a toxic and a healthy relationship are such... vague terms. when you're online, drenched in language and tight moral boundaries, trying to put a nuanced story like helluva boss's into boxes is easy to attempt and impossible to do.

a toxic relationship is one where one or both parties is maliciously affecting the other. I'm talking fetid, nasty, rude interactions where there is more hurt than love. they're unhappy more often than not when they're with their partner, there's no respect or give from the other side.

stolitz is nothing like that.

Stolas actively cares about Blitz and actually has no fear or hesitation in ADMITTING IT OUT LOUD TO OZZIE. he has been calling, texting, commenting, laughing and finding ways to spend time with Blitz. he's throwing everything he has to the wind, finding the courage to move forward with the divorce, putting everything he has into trying to keep him. he's been alone in a palace since he was born, on medication, with such less people dear to him that he remembered the circus boy who spent a day with him DECADES ago- so when blitz comes into his life and brings back in laughter and color and sex, he's holding on with everything he's got.

and blitz does care!!! he cares a LOT, the whole series we see him falling in love with stolas through SHOW NOT TELL (his expressions, his choices, his fear, his lashing out) and utterly unable to process that stolas cares about him too when talking to fizz; almost a desperate kind of denial-

cause yknow. the first time he tried to confess something to someone he really liked, he accidentally killed half the people he knew and ruined the lives of the rest?

thats gonna leave just a teensy impact on the will to express your emotions in the future, methinks.

even before that, he clearly felt like on some level that he was unworthy and he's said twice that he despises himself for the accident even though it wasn't actually his fault. being self aware doesn't stop the emotions from emotioning.

he keeps insisting its only sex so urgently to anyone who doesn't ask because he can't even imagine it being anything else. he's both disappointed and relieved when he repeats that stolas sees him as a novelty, because what else can it be?

(there's a whole other spiel of how brave both Stolas and Blitz have to be to say it out loud even when asmodeus can't afford to, considering how publically and completely beaten down both were at the club.)

(there's also another whole spiel about how frustrating it has been for ME to see all these comments over time with such bad takes based on like,, 20 min worth of info of a show that takes months to release an ep. like godDAMN have some patience?? let the story UNFOLD MAYBE? IT WAS ALWAYS GOING TO HAVE AN EXPLANATION WHY WOULD YOU CRITICIZE THINGS THAT ARENT EVEN FINISHED ESPECIALLY AN INDIE ANIMATION- i digress)

mind you, this has NOTHING to do with abuse. an abusive relationship is one where one is actively harming the other with full awareness. Stella is an abuser and their marriage is abusive.

and stolitz isn't that; it isn't even unhealthy or toxic. it's a consensual, transactional fuckbuddy relationship that slid into something more for both of them.

but!!!!! one of the main reasons for the problems that everyone looks over is-

they're in a BDSM relationship.

I can't possibly delve into dynamics without making this a 10k research paper BUT even though we've gotten only hints and costumes and dialogue- they're very clearly and undeniably in a BDSM contract. Behind the scenes of this crazy show is a whole different story, of these two delving into the most hardcore kinks out there- knifeplay, painplay, bondage.

if you've gotten into the community, if you've read a couple dozen particularly good fics by authors who know what they're talking about, hell; even if your only experience is fifty shades or 365 or whatever- you gotta know that BDSM scenes are crazy fucking emotionally heavy. there's so much that has gone down between them during their full moons that helluva can't get into!!

but you know how in so many of these popular medias and fics, the dom in the relationship is also like,, the billionaire/mafia heir/prince, etc, the one with financial and physical power? this isnt that. it has been very clearly stated that stolas is subbing, blitz is domming.

now take a moment and think about how much that fucks up the dynamics.

in stolas' eyes, blitz is a confident, dangerous individual who's an old friend and cherished memory of his, who he's trusted wholly with his safety during sex and he's lucky to have; and he has been in an abusive arranged marriage for the past eighteen Years, he's probably not going to be pushing his luck with his dom that much in the first place. plus, blitz is never cowed by him during their conversations- think back to the first phone call right after he stole the book, completely unafraid.

and for blitz, it's someone trusting him again- but it's also a royal- a blue blood who's nearly untouchable and so much more powerful- who couldn't possibly like a piece of shit like him, apart from the sex he gets out of it. he only flirts once he gets some sort of cue from Stolas; he's desperately trying to view this as only a Goetia trying to get his rocks off, despite all the evidence to the contrary, because anything else is unfathomable to him, no matter how clearly Stolas shows it, because of the ptsd.

both of them thinks the other has the power. both of them aren't expecting the other to keep shut if something's bothering them.

and there's so much conflicting messages from the other too!

stolas calls him a plaything when trying to intimidate the humans; stolas cups his face gently and asks if he's alright

blitz asks him on a date and tells him to get better soon; blitz yells that it's only sex and doesn't reply to his messages

ya see?

bring it to fizzozzie for a second now; even though they do look all good on surface, you can still see fizz's trauma and doubt in all their interactions, they're still forced to keep the relationship secret. do you see his face when Ozzie says in hyperbole that he's never leaving the house again, or when someone accuses him of being a pampered house pet or when he got sexualized in the 7th ep? whatever happened in the interim between the accident with mammon, it fucked him UP. even though oz seems to be well aware of this when he tells him not to apologise and in their general interactions, fizz still visibly has trouble separating plaything/commodity from healthy relationship.

shout the fuck out to Ozzie btw, man knows whats UP. rooting for these two so much omg.

i forgot where I was going with this point, I'll edit it when i remember. but yeah! lovely fucking relationship, but damn what angst filled issues.

anyway, to sum up- stolitz is not a toxic relationship. the relationship is stuck sludging through misunderstandings and careless microaggressions and trauma responses, but it's not unhealthy or toxic because of the simple reason that most of the current hurt comes from... a misunderstanding. stolas didn't realise blitz would need reassurance about what they were and blitz didn't see stolas as someone who could get hurt.

unecessarily calling it toxic, even online, is more impactful than people think too. almost all spindlehorse ARE on all social medias; so MANY YouTube animators i know have found jobs there; they see your words, especially since a lot don't tag posts with "anti hb" correctly to keep them out of the main tag. there are Very few queer medias made BY queer people that haven't gone through heavy corporate revisions- helluva boss is practically a historical landmark in its success. it's very very very fucking easy to forget that not ten years ago some of the only queer videos on YouTube were butter lover (one kiss at the end post credits), dirty paws and welcome to hell (subtext).

the amount of "critical talk" helluva boss gets for what it is is very unprecedented. it's a beautiful show. can't wait for the next episode.

#helluva boss #stolas #blitz #stolitz #fizzarolli #helluva boss ozzie #okay im gonna make SO much content but i had to get this off my chest first #because so many people were like omg fizzozzie is so healthy stolitz take a lesson!!#and theres so much more nuance to it thats its so. frustrating to see a statement like that #meta #anyways #i love this fucjing show

Okay so i have a headcanon that people who use mobility aids [Scar first and foremost, but also like, Cleo and Doc do on occasion methinks - and then post-life game depending on how someone died they might need a cane or something while they recovered bc a life game respawn is. Different] have to build the mobility aids on every server - so anytime a new season starts up step 1 is to get Scar a can to help him out by this point. And in third life that holds true! But. Well. Then third life happens and scar runs off on his own in last life so he has to make his OWN cane -

Or in double life, when grian is desperately trying to get Scar to realize theyre soulmates, he makes a rudimentary cane for Scar cause no one else has and hes clearly struggling with the terrain

Or liml, when its cleo and bdubs who make it but they make it differently than Grian does and sure cleo also uses one, but not as consistently as scar, and for a different purpose than him so her can needs are different and he ends up having to fiddle and just make his own anyway [because its not how grian would make it]

Dont think about cleo not bothering to make herself a cane for any of the life game and then by the time she needs one its too late in the game for her to hobble around so she has to *rely* on someone else and thats a whole thing and hhhhhhh

Or grian coming back from dl and he needs not only a cane but hes suffering from a bad-but-temporary case of tinnitus and cant get out of bed and no one sees him for a few days until scar comes over to talk bc holy shit dl and finds Grian in need of help

Anyway im normal

ok. ok. i have only seen DB/DBZ/DBS and have not reached GT yet (working on it ......) so mmy understanding of adult goten is from the perspective of somebody who has watched broly second coming on loop and replays the first episode of super like a healthy individual & has seen like 3 screencaps of gt goten. also that one goten side mission from Kakarot for the Play Station Five(5). anywayz. about the threeway you propose in your post. now assuming we live in a beautiful world where akira toriyama is introduced to the concept of polyamory and 1) thinks its banging and 2) accepts homosexuality into his heart of hearts (aka we are no longer operating by feasible canon standards) i do think it is PLAUSIBLE. ebcause. here is da thing. in PREMISE 7 you state Trunks is competition BUT (and again.......maybe GT would contradict this....all i know is my beautiful world where trunks pisses on broly) i think he only views trunks in competition for like...normie things. in Kakarot there's this exchange between the two of them, where Trunks (speaking for the both of them) says smth like, "we're not RIVALS that's LAME. We like competing but we're FRIENDS." (<- he then goes on to dunk on his father because "you're friends with goten's dad, right?? you're not RIVALS are you? that's TOTALLY uncool... you lamer.") and while i acknowledge this is New Canon (DBS-era where trunks's "13yr old on xbox live saying slurs" personality got nerfed a tiny bit) i think it says a lot about how they view competition/rivalry between them. It's like, all fun and games and a drive to be better but it's nothing they're losing sleep over unlike whatever da faq vegeta has going on with goku. this is all to say i don't think goten sees trunks as romantic competition. if anything he probably trusts trunks wouldnt like cheat on his girlfriend or whatever. now idk if goten would have hangups abt a 3-way being bizarre to him or smth but knowing how cra-zay and adventurous that little man is i assume it's something he would TRY at least, like, posing it as a joke like "haha could u imagine..." but its obvious he's like, trying to present it as a valid concept to trunks. the unspoken conclusion of "it could be kinda epic doe" is loud and clear 2 trunks. i think the better question is would palace be cool with this. would she do this. it's trunks briefs of capsule corp so like, if you were a worser person you could be like, hell yeah im fuckin that man if my bf gives me the green light i want tobe able to say that i know mr. trunks briefs biblically. but at the same time thats like, mean. i dont know much abt her but she seems like a sweet gal i think she wouldnt do something just for #bragging rights u kno....but u would know more on that methinks.

by the way you should watch the solar entertainment dub of broly 2 & 3 if you haven't they are life changing.

FASCINATING AND POWERFUL ARGUMENT.

I Didnt Fucking Know That TRunks Said That Shit & I Went and Found it on DA YOUTUBE!!! Timestamped video below but below that I will also attach screenshots of the whole scene but TBH I WATCHED THE WHOLE VIDEO AND IT'S PROFOUNDLY ADORABLE & PERFECT

youtube

Trunks said that he wanted to be friendas eith Goten for FOREVER .. He didnt stop at merely commenting on the present, but he had the confidence to project his feelings into the future: He's friends with Goten, he wants to continue being friends with Goten, and he wants it to be for forever.

I mean piece and signerture done right there. Signed sealed & delivered. Closed case. I'm willing to accept this as a total refutation for Premise 7 and what i was getting at in that post in general. Trunks looks at Goten with genuine appreciation when he said that they were friends

Ohhhgm my god and this video is so adorable .. I've said this before but as much as i love madness I also LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE So Much how on dragon ball everyone is depicted as truly happy healthy open free and LOVING EACH OTHER. Trunks and Goten just wanted to spend time with their fathers whom they love so much. They both assumed that their fathers loved each other as much as goten and trunks themselves love each other. They thought that the world was just that beautiful and lively. Also Gotenks in this video is 101% perfect and he is exactly swag and epic as i hoped he would be and it's really remarkable stuff. Great video. Great footage. Great writing

It is true that this is, as you put it: "New Canon (DBS-era where trunks's '13yr old on xbox live saying slurs' personality got nerfed a tiny bit)." But I dont honestly trhink that that's THAT relevant becasue what we mostly saw of Goten & Trunks in DBZ was friendly fun anyway, just with a bit of teeth, and then in DBGT Trunks is totallllyyyy chilled tf OUT and we don't see any acidity from him ever I think. So the fact that he's not saying slurs in DBS is I think okay. (I am actually greatly intrigued by his personality in DBS becasue I believe that it offers a great transition into the eventual DBGT and becasue it offers A LOT of insight on his Nature and his Nurture. Now is not the time.)

OK back to the aspect of the post that is about the throuple with Palace. This here ask offers the perspective that if Trunks sort of entered the relationship, then Goten wouldn't take it as striaght up competeition, but instead it would be sort of like "Ok well you know what You're a good man. I trust you'll treat her well." And in fact perhaps Goten & Trunks AREN'T Sick to Bastard Death ofn each other by now and ARE in fcat FRIENDS FOREVER like Trunks wishes for in this Kakarot for the ps5 footage.

This ask also offers the third propositon that Goten & Trunks may consider the prospect of a threeway involving them and one nice woman to be "kinda epic." No comments on that one

Palace definitely is not a bragging-rights kind of person so her motivations would literally be becasue she loves love and she loves Goten and she loves that he has a best friend and that they love each other and maybe she thinks that trunks is cute becasue hes so polite around her. Or maybe she thinks he looks sad and she wants to do something about it. But she has also been shown to enjoy badboys against her better judgement. Just remembered that. Wonder if we could work that in somehow

I don't member what movies I've seen or haven't seen but I'll keep that in mind chief. It's a beauotufl world ...

SPOILERS FOR CHAPTER 70 PN BELOW Lets fucking go cap! ok it’s the weekend, I have my own writing block and I finally finished my fucking assignments and handed them in, I’m practically free forever!! (exams loom in the distance, i willfully ignore their shadow)

I’ve started by reading from chapter 67 just to bring myself back into the mindset (and because they are hype as all hell chapters), this is faster than starting my like 7th re-read.

I even made myself a cuppa to really settle in, the vibes are immaculate, I played Bizet Carmen while reading this time

The dichotomy of Juleka:

I don't want to hurt anyone!

Extreme violence is efficient.

The fact that we didn’t get ladybug trying to kiss rena when she was shot by dark cupid is tragic

This time i listened to shoot to thrill by ACDC, and Burn it down by awolnation for the badass parts

Anyway finally onto Fei, that only took me two hours (i briefly wrote shit so yknow, a good time!)

Fei’s tragic backstory be upsetting frfr, Like damn brother you watched your dad die in front of you? Do you need a blanket and a hug?

The tone change from “My life ended when my dad died.” to “summer was awesome!!” made me snort horrible it’s not funny- but it kind of is-

Oh my god Juleka got a break for weeks AND WE DIDN’T GET TO SEE IT??? Tragedy. (i’m kidding, so happy that she got a break <33)

Rose thirsting over Panthera in a crop top is too funny- you just know if it was anyone else Juleka would be pouting like “damn what do they have that I don’t?”

Oop her hands still kinda fucked, curiouser and curiouser. I wonder if she has tried to practice her secondary power. Which rq, it was SUCH bullshit that LB gets two and the cat miraculous gets one in canon, so happy you retconned it

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH MY GOD OK CAP I AM SO HYPE HYPE SHE GOT A MODELING INTERNSHIP?????? Like sure cause nepotism but i’ve been wanting to see Juleka try out modeling in a real environment for ages cause like thats something she is interested in yknow and i just-

Augh, hype as hell. And an excellent reason for her to be going to Shanghai, I applaud your problem solving to fit Juleka into the show's narrative! I applaud it always, but this one was more difficult than usual methinks

I have pizza now it is 8pm

Anyways; NOO GABEY BABY DON’T BE EVIL VIBES TO JULEKA SHE’S JUST A LITTLE THING

Oh my poor awkward Juleka… Gabriel wasn’t helping but this is so funny, dude you vowed to kill this girl like a month ago open your eyes

I NEED juleka’s modeling arc to be a thing. Idk how into detail you went but i’m hoping for some i’m rabid i’ve been waiting for this for like 3 years

Oh airports SUCK i feel her anxiety so much, poor thing… i forced my friend to share her location with me one time so we could stalk each other, we never turned it off its kinda funny

… why is Anarka banned from airports?? Being “a living weapon” is so vague.

Killing myself rose and juleka are so cute- and obsessed with each other- every hour is insane

I love Juleka instantly becoming a disaster on baby’s first flight

Juleka instantly being on high alert around gabriel is so real.

“Right,” Mr Agreste’s face didn’t twitch nor soften much in response, just nodded in understanding and turned back to stare forward. “The opening of this store is essential to the future of the Agreste Brand, you two. Opening it much sooner is very good news. There will be other fun times with your friends.”

Hardass, fuck off!!

Poker with literal chips made me laugh- adrien would be terrible at poker

Spiderman far from home? Nah, Panthera Noir far from home.

“Oh that building looked fun to climb.” please Juleka unhinged parkour arc when?? Like people turn away from her and then look back and she’s up a tree.

HELP “bye bye bag” is so real-

She’s so scary, but I wanna ask what her hair dye is. Do it. Please. I think you would factory reset Nathalie and she would answer on autopilot

Awkwardly playing chess is so real, also; yippee!! Adrien and Juleka bonding even more after the acting debacle!!

“Knights were cute. Little pony’s. Rose always wanted to move her knights cause they reminded her of unicorns.” please this is literally my strategy in chess, i just move them around and sometimes i win because i confuse people so badly

LB overthinking chess is hilarious.

Adrien POV???

YOU CAN LEARN MANY THINGS FROM JULEKA SUCH; HOW TO BE A CAT. sorry i just had the mad idea that Adrien might find out this chapter… i would go insane if that turned out to be right

“Knowing info about me is pretty easy when your Wikipedia is super detailed” that’s fucking depressing. Adrien baby that’s a terrible way to get to know someone and not the same experience at all-

Gaelic is a real language!! And a bitch to learn- I briefly tried with my dad and we both gave up, we’ll just stick with scots english

“Where do you disappear during akumas?” hard hitting question Adrien, ten points!

And is also making me high key suspicious about him finding out, the vibes are there

Nah, nah evil. Gabriel spend time with your son goddamnit

GET HIS ASS JULEKA YES GIRL I LOVE YOU

The fact that she thinks she isn’t brave sometimes infuriates me, like babe i get your insecure but your brave as hell.

QUEEN SHIT JUST WENT DOWN THERE

Juleka ripped him to shreds hell fucking yeah.

Wait. why did she give him the king? Hawkmoth called himself a king… cue the x-files music

Who the fuck is this asshole? Fei. Kick his ass, i command thee.

Oh curious, she has burn scars from the fire, i like this detail.

I feel like Fei and Juleka will get along, based on the ever present rage against one guy

She is being used augh

“Your father deserves to be avanged.”

“He does.” UMM GIRL YOUR DAD WOULD HATE THAT WEREN’T YOU THERE FOR THE FLASHBACK??

I want Cash to gtbnrvice this asshole is just using her desperation for information-

I want Juleka to scare him into telling them, as Panthera, i think she would be quite good at that.

Juleka is a feral beast who needs her outside time (i like how she wants to run on rooftops a lot its cute)

LORE LORE LORE LORE

Excited. The prodigious?? Tell me more silly cheese guy

Ummm. i need the prodigious to show up, i can’t remember if thats what Fei has or if this is future future foreshadowing, this is exciting

New arc unlocked: freeing the Kwami from their jewelery or the curse.

Also; yes sadistic plagg in the face of the guardians temple being destroyed, you go girl

Guardian temple? Swallowed whole? Sounds frightening. What a feast. HA

Model Juleka yippee!

Help- adrien your advice is trash-

Ok existential conversation, yes girl let me spiral-

No sick girl Nathalie let adrien speak i want to know what he thinks of the best girlies-

Plagg wanting to take him under his wing- Juleka saying he wants to replace her with Adrien- ITS ALL COMING TOGETHER.

Nah if you actually do have a reveal to Adrien i am going to go buckwild- cause either the vibes of the chapter got me but i think I guessed before any of the concrete foreshadowing

Ok sick girl nathalie actually has some sound advice and is being lovely to Juleka

Yes Juleka use your strength

FEI STEALING CAMERAS??

Get her ass Juleka, or- politely bite her arm juleka?!?

Juleka is just brawling in an alleyway- like damn sister- watch out for bruises you might not be allowed to model-

Oh god what if she took plagg during some of their scrapping- actually, that would be fine. Juleka would just go insane and fight her

Juleka; desperately grasping for something familiar and bantering with Fei

Fei: what the fuck is wrong with her?

Nicest mugger I’ve ever met real and true

Wait

NOO JULEKA THEY WON’T LET YOU MODEL LIKE THIS

YEAH KICK. HER. ASS.

Plagg stays with Juleka yippeee!!

Help their dynamic is so funny- exactly what i was wanting.

Juleka would want to learn how to disappear even better than she already does wouldn’t she

Nah not Fei thinking “well that was fucking weird” while juleka is like “Oh that was cool” Juleka is so weirdgirl core i love her

Oh shit she stole marinettes stuff Tiki is there-

Kick the asshole in the balls Fei, i command thee.

I am so happy Nathalie and Juleka have some sort of alliance, in my as to be written huge tragedy based on Nathalie Gabriel and Emily (which is extensively planned), I think Nathalie is more similar to Juleka as a teenager.

Adrien and Nathalie interaction- “yes we- we did it” agyuhtvrinjfeok love her.

Marinette blinked vacantly, standing in the back alley streets of Shanghai with a paling expression on her face and her entire inventory ghosted from her person.

WHERE THE HELL AM I!?

HELP SHE’S SO FUNNY- i love disaster marinette please-

and thats a wrap for Fei! i started this before five and it is now ten pm- i did other things though.

this was awesome cap, I look forward to the next chapters and I shall review them tomorrow!!!!!!

I hope you enjoyed <3

GLAD YOU ENJOYED!!!!!!

Today I will present my thesis on why I think Juleka and Adrien should have been best friends.

1.They have(platonic) chemistry

Most of times good compatibility isnt about characters having the same traits, but having traits that cumpliment eachother. Complementary traits often result in good dynamics, fun to watch. Now, miraculous have some pretty fun character dynamics like Chat/Ladybug, Marinette/Kagami, Adrien/Plagg but I believe Adrien/Juleka has the potential to be one of the best among them. Hear me out.

Adrien is an extroverted person molded by his father into a polite and pristine façade never being allowed out or having indeoendent thoughts.

Juleka is the daughter of a pirate rockstar(Anarka) who was born with all the freedom she could want, but has a shy and introverted personality despite that.

Besides loving the "extrovert adopts introvert" trope, I belive their interaction would be beneficial for their development, with Adrien helping Juleka to come out of her shell by teatching her his dorkish ways and Juleka showing Adrien what freedom really means( I am 100% certain Juleka would convince Adrien to do a Tattoo, paint his hair, pierce his nose or some shit only to flip out Gabriel). They could really understant eachother, help eachoter overcome their fears and give support.

(it is important to say that when I meant they have good chemistry, i do not mean romantic chemistry. Characters of opposite sex are allowed to interact and have good relations without it necessarily meant to be romantic. That is a taboo on animation and would also be pretty cool to chalenge.)

2.Juleka wants to model

Juleka's dream being revealed as someone who wants to model professionally, her having a best friend who is a literal supermodel would be the ideal setup to give her a "in" into the fashion world, and would also give Adrien someone on his corner in the industry, maybe someone to give him advice and support when dealing with the wheight of his schedule, or when being pushed around left and right by Lila or his dad.

3.It would explain things story wise

It was always weird to me how Adrien always shows up at the boat for Kitty Section practice. I mean I guess he is around since Juleka invites the whole class to show up, but its never actually a reason to why HE should show up. People are always wondering "hey where is adrien?" even when other people like Kim or Nathaniel are also not there. Adrien bring juleka's bff would make this more plausible because "cmon he is my bestie where the fuck is he?".

4.Chat Noir and Purple Tigress

The dynamic of Chat Noir and Purple Tigress was cute. Chat being carefree and flirty and Juleka being kind of stiff and awkward and fumbling against his extroverted approach all while being a lowkey girlboss on the side just gave a whole new fun to the dynamic. I can just picture Juleka awkwardly trying to make a cat pun and Chat being lit on fire by it.

5. Adrien might have gotten a home at the boat

Ive seen hundreds of post-hawkmoth defeat fics, and almost all of them we have something in common: Adrien gets adopted by the dupain-chengs and go live with them. Now, there is nothing wrong with that, Sabine and Tom are great and they would definitly help Adrien in a moment of need but the imolications of this... it really striked me odd. living with your girlfriend's parents? Sneaking into her room every night to cuddle at 15 and they being ok with it? really? Thats just weird bro.

Now, Adrien at the boat makes sense. Methinks Anarka would be more the willing to adopt Adrien on the spot. She is carefree, doesnt seem to be caugh up by details and seems to be fairly ok with a bunch of teens hanging around her deck all day. Adrien is a musician and fairly polite, so he checks out all the boxes to be her son. Besides, imagine how Adrien's chacracter would develop given the chance to live freely like Juleka and Luka does. He could develop more his "wild side" and learn how to be more confortable with himself.

6. Get to see Adrien wingmaning Julerose

Now, we all know Adrien Chat Noir is our resident dork in town. However, I feel we dont get to see it much. I imagine him trying to help Juleka woo Rose or giving tips to flirt would be very funny and amusing to see, and give him much more characterization. Besides, Juleka and Rose's relationship would be way more spicy. I mean they are cute but the whole "lowkey supportive gf" thing they always have going on gets stale pretty fast, and dont five much insight on how their relationship is really like. LET THEM FLIRT FOR GODS SAKE!

House of Finarfin pet headcanons

Finrod: We all know he had snakes. Its the number 1# headcanon going around on silm tumblr lately. It's fanon at this point. I agree to this headcanon and I have nothing else to say except FINROD WITH GIGANTIC YELLOW PYTHON MY BELOVED.

Galadriel: Doriath's most popular pet songbirds. She loved to keep canaries and finches as pets. The feanorians were pissed because she didnt even try to set her birds free, although finches and canaries were native in Doriath and most birds were not bred but caught from the wild and then kept in cages. This was considered unorthudox later on and was banned during the long peace. Also, birds are considered tame and not dangerous in elven society, but every bird owner knows they're fucking maniacs and will try to make your life hell, which kind of reminds me of Galadriel. Looks harmeless from the outside (to elves, not to hobbits or men), but is completely unhinged on the inside. In Valinor she didn't keep any pets of her own, but sometimes she tended after her brother's snake.

Angrod: Didn't keep any pets and thought them quite useless. Loved horses tho. Especially those the Feanorians stole from them :) ...

Aegnor: rabbit/bunny person. Had four bunnies/rabbits in Valinor, but he didn't brought them with him to Beleriand. Also had two chinchillas in Valinor, but only because he was royalty. Chinchillas were normally not kept as pets in Valinor, but the Valar allowed it because of him being partly vanyarin (line of Indis favouritism). Earwen took care of them while he was away. Loved horses like his brother. Was quite upset when the feanorians took them.

Bonus: Finrod's pets in Nargothrond

Finrod of course didn't take his python with him over the ice. Reptiles needed a warm enviroment to survive and the ice was freezing cold. He didn't keep any pets until the making of Nargothrond. The men of Beor kept many dogs, but they didn't gave him any of their dogs or puppies. When Curufin joined in Nargothrond, he brought his cats with him, which was quite a surprise. Cats were not often kept in elven society. There are two options what happens when someone does something rather unusual or new: 1. Discrimination and opression and 2. it becomes a trend. Both options are not moral ways to look at change. In this case, it was the latter. In only the span of several months almost everyone in Nargothrond owned a cat, thanks to Curufin Feanor Junior 2.0, who inherited the skills of his father in convincing large crowds of people to do exactly what he tells them to do. Curufin and Feanor would have been great influencers and politicians in real life, methinks. Now Finrod, Curufin's self-diagnosed rival, did not approve this, mostly because it gave Curufin more political power and this was his kingdom and not Curufin's. If anyone is a trendsetter in Nargothrond, it's the high king Finrod Felagund and not Feanor Jr. So what did King Dunglalef do? He tried to set a trend too. Tried.

It ended in a disaster.

Mr. Eldest Son Of Finarfin was the elv who bred the first Welsh Corgi. A round of applause for Findarato here. There are two ways a trend can end: 1. It dies, but it had an significant impact and 2. It dies, but it had no significant impact whatsoever and the trend only lasted, for like, a week or something. In this case, it was the latter. At first, the whole plan worked. The people went on from Curufin's cat trend to Finrod's welsh corgi trend. At this point, Curufin's cat trend lasted for about two years, which was quite a long time for a trend to live. Cats were not looked down upon anymore and much, much more people owned a cat and cared for it then before. Finrod Felanop, of course, hoped his welsh corgies would spread the same way and their popularity would rise. This worked at first. However, people were still affected by the cat trend and a lot of people genuinely did not like welsh corgies, so the welsh corgi hype lasted for about two months and then died down.

If you need real life comparison, It was kind of like goncharov and zepotha, for example. Or the rainbow flag and the straight flag. Or the Fall Guys hype, the Wellerman hype and the World's smallest violin hype.

So yeah, Finrod is a terrible trendsetter and the Welsh Corgi pet trend was terrible. He did own Welsh Corgies, tho. Men loved them, dwarves found them lame.

as a starved animal whose diet requires yuri i want to know how you think cass and veronica would Address Their Feelings For Each Other, or if they ever possibly would or ever possibly could

I am so glad you asked cuz i did indeed think about this way too much and i hope i can word this in a coherent way.

Veronica's the one that initially falls in love because cass is so cool and confident and hot ect. ect. you get it but is a lot more lowkey about it and in her mind its more of a "sure would be nice" thought instead of some hard crush because she does not think a relationship is achievable because shes under the impression that cass is a straight woman (until cass has her "yeah im an ally. I fuck women. We exist moment). Meanwhile after veronica comes out to cass (got tired of pretending to understand cassidys rating of ncr soliders on the strip from most to least fuckable and had to say something) something in her brain flips and cassidy becomes fucking obsessed with veronica for literally no reason (woman you like as a friend and subconciously think is hot is gay so you suddenly technically have a chance and the feeling is like crack cocaine). Cassidy goes through her shinji chair.png moment where she cycles from complete denial about her feelings to acknowledging them and psyching herself up to say something and overanalyzing every interaction for awhile. I think she would be the one to confess her feelings first because it gets unbearable for her but would fuck it up in every way imaginable (is too nervous about it so she brilliantly decides to get drunk so shes not as nervous. Gets too drunk. Words dont come out right. She comes on a bit too strong. Passes out.). Luckily veronica is weirdly into it and also has a thing for total disasters apparently so it does somehow work out. They'd take it pretty slow (probably on veronicas suggestion because this is cass' first attempt at a relationship with another woman (and also veronicas a bit of a romantic but shh)) and im actually not sure if it would work out long term or not? They both have their own issues (cass has a hard time with commitment methinks and veronicas a bit too hung up on her ex which makes dating new people hard sometimes) which i think would be very interesting to watch them try and work out...idk i do kind of like endgame cass and veronica like they both go through so much bullshit cause of the courier and would share like a mutual understanding for each other so why not. Plus i think the possible dynamics between them are so fun and i specifically adore cass being an absolute fucking disaster and veronica being like "but shes my disaster <3"

Kaiju Week in Review (January 29-February 4, 2023)

youtube

This week was dense with news, but the biggest was Kadokawa's teaser for GAMERA -Rebirth-, now revealed as a six-episode animated series pitting Gamera against five kaiju opponents, including (of course) Gyaos. Also released was a poster of Gyaos in silhouette; in keeping with recent tradition, it's pretty much skin and bones. The next news drop will come at AnimeJapan 2023 on March 25, where they'll announce the voice cast and release a proper trailer.

Theater listings indicate that Fathom Events will be showing Godzilla: Tokyo SOS in U.S. theaters on March 22 (a Wednesday), paired with Godzilla vs. Gigan Rex. Their Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla program included a behind-the-scenes featurette about the Godzilla vs. Hedorah short that hasn't been released anywhere else, so that's something to look out for. The timing on this seems pretty random; maybe they're trying to get GXMG's sequel (celebrating its 20th this year) out of the way so they can show Godzilla vs. Megalon on Godzilla Day? Pretty nostalgic for me—GMM was the first Godzilla movie I saw for the first time in a theater (at the Pickwick during my first G-Fest).

youtube

This week's episode of Godziban introduced Girly Garlin (official English name TBD), Gigan's little sister—and with that, the whole family's been on the show. She's a yandere, methinks.

GMK Godzilla is the latest kaiju to join Godzilla Battle Line. Usually there isn't much advance notice for newcomers, but his model showed up in a metaverse collaboration in December, so it was just a matter of time. He's the debuff king, temporarily weakening nearby enemy units with a swirl of shadow when he appears on the field and is defeated. As a leader, his special move does the same to all enemy units on the field. Pair that with an atomic breath that can hit multiple targets at once and you've got a unit I think we'll be seeing a lot of.

Sukagawa, Eiji Tsuburaya's hometown, has funded a kaiju film about a dinosaur-like beast called Yoroiger. NHK World ran an all-too-brief story on it that mentions that children made it over the course of six months with the help of some tokusatsu pros. Not sure what kind of release it'll get, but I'm certainly curious.

Hiya Toys has teased its MonsterVerse Ghidorah figure. They've made quite a few MonsterVerse figures already, but given their penchant for low prices compared to SHMA, this might be the one that really puts them on the map.

Bandai's unstoppable Movie Monster Series has unveiled four more figures—the Heisei Mechagodzilla and the Final Wars versions of Godzilla, Manda, and Hedorah—to be released later this month. Listings for them turned up a few months ago without any images attached, so it's highly likely that the ones for Showa Baragon, Showa Ebirah, Heisei King Ghidorah, and Symbiotic Legion are real too. I think I'll spring for the Manda. Its proportions are definitely squashed, but I've always liked that design and there are barely any figures of it.

Honestly, for a car idea, now I can’t stop picturing there being some play on words with the phrase “smart cookie.” Like maybe a school or laboratory themed car with pastry denizens, and the famous Summa Cum Laude/head scientist is some sort of cookie. That, and or a car where that used to be the case, but they either got burnt out “gifted kid” style or went through an identity crisis and mental breakdown from something involving prior passengers/the nature of the puzzle of their car challenging the concept of them being ‘a smart cookie.’

Alternately, an inverted aquarium car where the entrance door dumps you into a zoo enclosure pit, and there are giant windows separating you from a ‘watery outside world’ where gawking aquatic species denizens want to take candid pictures of passengers for their family vacation to the Zoo before you can leave.

Could be some fun stuff there methinks.

I've seen a lot of stuff using fish or aquariums for cars, I think, so I did a spin on it to make it a zoo. I didn't actually finish this one bc I forgot what I wanted the ending to be, but I hope y'all can still enjoy it!

(I didn't have any ideas for the Smart Cookie car but it's SUCH a cool concept, I hope I or someone else uses it in the future)

The sign read no photography and MT figured it was about all the luck they would get. Jesse entered the car first to make sure it was safe, per usual. Only to find an empty zoo exhibit in which Jesse was the animal on display. Curious, MT had followed him and Alan right after. The door had closed behind them too quickly for either of them to backtrack.

In no less than five minutes even MT realized that their was no winning with this car. It sucked. Clearly the denizens lacked complete respect for the rules of their own car. And every new animal left MT more on edge than the last!

After hours of wandering in circles looking for any sign of an exit, they'd eventually decided a break was in order.

A pair of giraffes cooed at them from the other side of the cage, trying to lean through the bars and get their attention. One of them reached into its coat, glancing around to see if anyone else was looking. The only other creature was a hippo that was half asleep.

“What are they doing?" Jesse squinted. Sitting in the middle of the exhibit left him too far away to make out the details. It whipped out a camera, snapping a few quick pictures before stuffing it back into its pocket as if nothing had happened.

"Hey!" He pointed an accusatory finger, gesturing at the sign that MT had noted upon first entering. "It says no pictures!"

MT shuffled behind him, a bundle of anxious energy. They had been quiet after their initial reaction to the car. There was a small stream in the enclosure, but it was tiny and off to the side. It posed no real threat. That hadn't eased their nerves in the slightest.

MT crossed their arms and came to stand by Jesse's side before shooting a glare at the sneaky photographer. "I'm breaking that camera on my way out.”

Unbothered by their threats the other giraffe pulled out their own camera, taking their sweet time to take pictures of the two of them.

Frustrated, MT stomped towards them. Being sure to make good on their words. "I did not escape the mirror world just to get trapped in some cage like an animal!"

"No offense Alan!" Jesse amended delicately. The deer was grazing near the stream, completely unperturbed by the scene.

MT’s fist brushed against the metal of their enclosure, an electric jolt arcing from the metal into them painfully. They stumbled back from it, nearly crumbling to their knees as they clutched the sore spot. Jesse ran to their side, placing his hands hesitantly on their shoulder in an attempt to help. "Are you okay?"

They waited to respond, their vision still wobbly and bright from the shock. They shook their hand out, as if to dispel any remaining electricity as they settled back into themselves. "I'm just- tired."

Intrigued by the sudden commotion the giraffes took a whole slew of pictures, babbling to one another. MT growled. If they couldn't punch them then they'd find another way. Picking up a fist sized rock they launched it at the two instead.

The rock fared better than their hand, sailing through the cage and almost nipping one in the shoulder. Disgruntled, they put their cameras away.

MT's eyes never left the giraffes as they finally started to make their way to some other exhibit that this makeshift zoo must have had to offer. They was more than relieved to watch them go, but they knew more would take their place in time.

At last, true to their words, MT sank into Jesse's side. Resting a good amount of their weight on him. It wasn't entirely unusual. They knew they'd been getting handsier and handsier with every passing car. They could only hope he didn't mind- well. MT knew he didn't. Jesse leaned into every touch like he was starved, but MT couldn't help the way it made their stomach squirm. It was all so new to them. Everything was new to them.

As sweet as it was to stay pressed into Jesse's side, hiding against his shoulder for some sense of privacy, it couldn't last. MT was heavy. No amount of swim practice was going to keep him upright as they sagged into him, as much as they was loathsome to move.

"Do you wanna sit down?"

MT had the decency not to point out how out of breath he sounded.

Jesse shifted, moving deeper into the enclosure. Alan Dracula trotted behind them as if to keep an eye on his two fawns. His hand was feather light against their wrist, but he never broke the contact. MT was thankful for it.

There wasn't much peace and quiet to be had in this car. No cave or burrow to hide in. Even here they were still clearly visible to passing denizens. "Is this okay?"

Taking in their surroundings, MT sighed. "Yeah, this will have to do."

"Just close your eyes," He prompted, making space so that they could sit beside him.

MT blatantly ignored the extra room, and made theirself at home lined up next to him, shoulder to ankle. Jesse always felt so warm, it drew MT into him. Clicking together like two magnets. Jesse shivered, but if MT's metal skin bugged him, he didn't say anything.

They did close their eyes. Forehead lulling familiarly into the crook of Jesse's neck. They wiggled their nose as his hair tickled their face.

MT had never sat so close to him- or anyone. It sapped their energy in a way that was oddly pleasant. They didn't know how to explain it, but his presence left them pliant in a way they never could be when they'd been exploring on their own. If anything they should have been so hyperly aware of every point of contact that they couldn't bear to sleep at all. They found themselves drifting off either way.

Jesse rested his head atop MT's. Wiggling his arm to wrap it around their waist to keep their dead weight propped against him.

Alan Dracula sniffled at them curiously before snorting softly. As he laid behind the two of them, it became impossible to stay awake. Sleep had never come easily with danger lurking just behind every door. Even this car wasn't ideal. But they had each other. And they were as safe as they could be. It was enough.

Finding Home (4494 words) by TheFlyingSeal Chapters: 2/? Fandom: Welcome Home - Clown Illustration Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Wally Darling (Welcome Home) & Original Female Character(s) Characters: Original Female Character(s), Original Male Character(s), Wally Darling, Barnaby B. Beagle, Home - Character, Julie Joyful, Frank Frankly, Eddie Dear, Sally Starlet, Howdy Pillar, Question-Answerer, Poppy Partridge Additional Tags: maybe there will be romance?? we'll see how this story develops, im basically manifesting my theories about the story through this fic, and if they're wrong. then oops, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Canon Universe, Action/Adventure, no beta we die like men, POV First Person, Detectives, Horror, Psychological Horror Summary:

Gloria Alvarez and her rookie partner, Alana O'Quinn, are specialized detectives who are assigned on a case to track down a suspect in a string of crimes. An anonymous tip leads the duo to discover the Welcome Home Restoration Project and its webpage. They decide to infiltrate from the inside in order to investigate what their suspect, the "Question-Answerer," is up to; however, when Gloria and Alana realize that something is off about Welcome Home and its website, the pair realize they've stumbled upon something more than they can bargain for. -------------------------

Hi hi! This is my contribution to the Welcome Home fandom. It's a little bit different from all the other OC works I've seen, so I hope it's not so jarring? This concept has been brewing in my brain for some time as I always love a good horror mystery, and since we're only in the prologue of WH's story, I figured, why not!

Because this is a story that follows the events of Welcome Home, updates will reflect what we currently know! It will also have the same content warnings Clown posted about Welcome Home, so please keep that in mind @:]

Also, while my goal is to try and write my story along with Welcome Home, there will be some things that stray from canon due to creative liberties. But!! I will try to adapt as we learn new information without retconning anything. It's a good challenge for me, methinks..

Not every OC you see here belongs to me either!

Gloria Alvarez belongs to me Alana O'Quinn belongs to @AMWells on AO3 and @AMontheFM on Twitter Commissioner Rakesh "Rocky" Kapoor belongs to @MDoebling on Twitter

If you like it, be sure to let me know! I will update regularly, but a little kindness and appreciation always boosts morale <3

And where are YOUR thanksgiving headcanons 🤨

Okay okay here they are!!!

Growing up, the party all have Thanksgivings separately with their families. After the events of S5, they all spend it together.

It's hosted at the Hopper-Byers house (not the old Byers house, they built a new one) and the whole party and their families attend.

Unpopular opinion: Joyce isn't a great cook. She does well enough, it's not that her food is bad, it's just not delicious. But that's okay, because Karen comes over early and helps cook. They handle the turkey and the stuffing and a few sides. She brings Mike over too, but he's no help in the kitchen, in fact he is a hindrance, because he distracts Will who is trying to help.

Ms. Henderson and Dustin bake all day long, and show up with a shit ton of pies. They're the best goddamn pies you've ever had.

The Sinclairs bring over sides like mashed potatoes and green bean casserole, Lucas and Erica both help their mom cook. They bicker the whole time. "Why are you peeling it like that?" "How else do you peel a potato?" "Not like that."

Max's mom is an excellent fucking cook, and she and Max bring over the best fucking sweet potato casserole ever.

Speaking of Max's mom, it takes her a while to get comfortable being around everyone, but Joyce and the other moms make her feel so welcome. I think she really gets along with Lucas's parents too. (Because I want them to, because lumax deserve supportive parents 🔫)

Steve and Robin come too because they're both very close with Nancy and Jonathan FIGHT ME ITS MY HC I CAN BE SELF INDULGENT IF I WANT

There's not enough room for everyone to sit at the dining room table, so the older adults end up sitting there, while the party and Jon/Steve/Nancy/Robin end up scattered across the connected living room, sitting on couches, chairs, and coffee tables with their plates in their laps.

Joyce makes everyone say one thing they're thankful for. Jonathan records it. Most everyone is displeased with this tradition, but they fake enthusiasm for Joyce's sake.

If you even care, Mike usually says something generic like "I'm thankful I get to spend time with you guys," which still makes Joyce melt. BUT after they move on from him he whispers in Will’s ear, "You. I'm thankful for you." Will laughs and waves him off but he's internally melting into a puddle. (Author's note: that was so sappy I threw up in my mouth a little ew ew ew.)

Hm I had more but this is more than sufficient methinks. Thank you very much Ratt for asking (or demanding?)

Stitch I am literally so normal about your heroes au but what did you do to my mossy man??? I saw what you did to my bois Scar, Grian, Mumbai Jumbolio (concussed idiot), and Iskall but what did you do to my moss ball HM???? I’m so normal about this I swear

WELL I'm glad you asked.

So what I'm thinking is that Bdubs....well he's had a rough time methinks. Imagine feeling vines burst from your body all over the place for the first time - that's gonna hurt. AND - technically - the NHO can't talk to each other. They aren't supposed to know one another. Sure, they get around that by communicating with hidden messages in their weapons and figuring out which cameras don't work or sometimes going to Doc to just speak, but - well. Bdubs is alone for the most part. Alone to deal with the pain, the new powers, and suddenly being one of the most important heroes in Boatem.

And he's good at it too. Sure, he'll downplay how good he is, but once he gets a hang of things he's on par with some of the other top heroes in the city, past and present. But I don't think he likes it. I think he's got like a month of trying desperately to convince himself that this is so COOL and he's BADASS before he probably falls into a depression at how much he risks his life nearly every day for 60k and health insurance and he doesn't even get to see his boyfriends. Well - his- his friends. Its not like they're dating or anything and Bdubs has only ever seen Doc's face and-

Yeah he's a mess.

RELATED - I do imagine they will get out of the lab and I've actually uh. WRITTEN something for this so the taglist and story are below the cut

Doc’s eye gave a lot more information than Etho’s own, but it was older. It wasn’t designed solely for field work. The fact that it broke, and Doc couldn’t be the one to fiddle with it had Etho feeling ill, but he’d manage. He felt weirdly exposed, sitting in a room with the three of them and yet entirely out of The Lab’s reach. Their escape was a miracle and Etho certainly wasn’t about to go asking any questions.

No one removed their disguises unless Doc’s eye counted as one. The creeper hybrid laid at Etho’s feet ,the bald and mottle skin around his bad eye on clear display. Etho huffed as he struggled with a screw that didn’t want to come loose. In the background, he could still hear Bdubs fighting back pained whimpers.

“Someone’s going to have to go first,” Beef said. “And – You already know my name. So.” He caught Etho’s attention, the man barely lifting an eyebrow as his head snapped to attention. Where Bdubs’s laid on a rinkydink little mattress, he was watching too.

Beef reached up and pressed a button on the underside of the mask. There was a mechanical hiss sound that Etho couldn’t help but associate with something breaking, but he watched with rapt attention anyway as the two pieces came apart and Beef discarded them on the ground. He hadn’t actually looked at Etho or Bdubs proper yet, too preoccupied with smashing the mask underneath his foot with a glare, but Etho couldn’t help but feel like his face fit his voice.

He was glad his mask hid most of his face as he felt his cheeks heat up slightly. Beef was…handsome to say the least. Etho liked the beard. He watched Beef kick the remains of what was his mask across the room, and they skittered on the tile. He looked up at Bdubs first and then to Etho proper, smiling a little and coming to sit beside him. Or, well, lean on the boxes Etho was leaning on too.

“That feels better,” he said, watching Etho’s hands as if they were moving at all.

The spy cleared his throat and went back to fighting with a screw. “For someone named the Butcher you’re a lot prettier than I expected,” he said, not looking in Beef’s direction. Beef laughed, though it cut itself off when Bdubs winced again, partially sitting up.

“I’ll go next, since everyone’s so keen-“ he said with another wince. Etho had glimpsed parts of his face, but never all of it. Never enough to get the full picture. He felt his throat going a little dry. Bdubs was…special. Important. It felt wrong to play favorites, and Etho’s brain argued that he wasn’t, not really. But Bdubs was the one who underwent the procedure. He was the one who was in pain when none of them could hold him. Someone should be holding him now.

His reveal was a little easier, since all he had to do was flip up the veil. Or pull the hood down, though as Etho understood it, the hood was a part of him now. Still, the suddenness of the motion might’ve knocked Etho off his feet if he wasn’t being supported. Beef laughed at the look in Etho’s eyes, though he was also clearly taken with Bdubs at the moment.

He was…breathtaking felt like the right word. Etho was pretty sure between Beef and Bdubs he wasn’t getting enough oxygen. His face was so soft, even as he refused to look either of them in the eyes. He winced again and fell back on the mattress and Beef snapped to attention, crouching next to Bdubs as the veil fell back into place. Etho wanted it gone. He heard Beef say something soft to him and Bdubs say something back, but he couldn’t make out what they were saying over the sound of the blood rushing around his ears.

“Etho?” that was Doc’s voice. It snapped Etho’s attention down to the floor. The creeper hybrid had an almost snarl on his face, though it was not directed towards Etho but the eye in his hand. “The damn thing broke again, huh,” he said.

Etho swallowed and nodded because he didn’t think he could get words out at the moment. Doc’s good eye squinted to see around the room and reminded Etho of his task. Doc needed to be able to see.

Beef looked up as Doc started squirming to sit up and he smiled a little. “Ah! Oh good, Doc, you’re awake,” he said. With one hand he dragged the mattress Bdubs was laying on over to where Etho and Doc were, though Bdubs protested the motion (“I’m fine! I’m only a few feet away! Stop it!”). Doc froze as he realized, it seemed, that he was seeing Beef’s face, and his hands reached out. Beef laughed and he sat on the floor in front of Doc and the two had a very quiet moment of Doc simply holding his face and staring.

“Of all the times for my eye to be broken-“ he complained.

“I’m working on it,” Etho said, waving the screwdriver around and trying to not make it so obvious that he was too busy watching everyone else. They were safe, they’d gotten away.

For now.

“Etho still hasn’t taken that mask off, so you haven’t missed everything,” Beef explaining, looking up at the only other man in the room who really knew what he was doing with Doc’s eye. He blinked, once again pausing on trying to get the screw loose.

“Ah, my face is nothing special. I’m working,” he said. A shaky hand readjusted on the screwdriver as he pointedly ignored everyone in the room looking at him.

“Etho.” He wasn’t sure who spoke. His brain really only registered that someone said his name.

“It’s true. I look like every other white-haired guy with a red eye,” he said, trying to make it come out as a laugh. He flipped the device in his hands over and worked on a different screw. He didn’t register the vines moving to peel his toy away until it was too late to stop Bdubs, who winced but did it anyway. Even though the veil, he could see where Bdubs was trying not to be too grossed out by the fact that he was technically holding Doc’s eye.

Etho huffed and smoothed his bare fingers over his shirt. The gloves protected most of his hand from most sensation, so it was nice to remind himself he could fully feel something. Grounding, like the mask. When he looked up again, Bdubs’s vines were holding his screwdriver and Doc’s eye far out of reach, and everyone was still looking at him.

“You’re going to have to give that back. Doc needs to be able to see,” Etho said, crossing his arms. He felt very put on, still standing while everyone else sat around him. It felt like he was on a stage. Like he was being devoured by eyes.

“Etho, we want you to show us your face too,” Bdubs said. Etho registered in the back of his head that the veil was gone. He swallowed, finding it difficult to even look away from Bdubs.

He cleared his throat and managed to turn his head anyway, and with a deep breath he reached up to pull it down. Taking it all the way off felt like too much. Even now, he liked what little anonymity the mask gave him, and he knew he’d probably pull it back up after they saw their fill. He moved to sit down with them before turning back to look at them.

There was a soft and collective inhale, and Bdubs’s face broke out in a smile. “I knew it! Beef owes me five bucks!” he shouted, and Beef smacked him on the shoulder while Etho looked on, confused.

“I – What?” he asked.

“The scar! It goes all the way down your neck. Beef thought it ended on your cheek,” Bdubs said, clearly very proud of himself. “I knew that couldn’t be true because there’s a little bit of it that peeks out from under the button on the neck part-“

Beef smacked his shoulder again while Etho’s face burned, though frankly it was probably better than one of them waxing poetic about his features or thinking he was ugly. He could handle a bet for now and pulled his mask back up.

Doc didn’t say anything, but Etho could tell when the hybrid was cocking an eyebrow at him. He didn’t have eyebrows, but that wasn’t important. It was being cocked. “…I like the mask,” Etho said quietly, holding out his hand for Doc’s eye back.

throws microphone at you

very important question!!! what kind of music do you think blitzwing enjoys. i am attempting a playlist

I HAVE BEEN WAITING MY ENTIRE LIFE FOR THIS MOMENT.

Short answer is basically new wave 100%%% esp talking heads. And I don’t know if he would listen to it BUT will wood comes to mind especially the song Cotard’s Solution ITS SO GOOD

BUt here’s the long answer… with my headcanons

Blitzwing’s music taste definitely depends on the blitzwing but my personal headcanon is that overall… he looooooves new wave. Favorite band is probably something like Talking Heads or The Cure or something. but he’d probably be too embarrassed to admit that he likes that type of stuff aloud LOL

So I could also TOTALLY see him (hothead specifically) having a separate playlist of like songs or bands he sort of pretends to like to seem like a badass or whatever. Like korn, metallica, rammstein especially, bands like that . Also hothead if he curated his own playlist would have a lot of like stadium chants bcuz FOOBAWL, BABY!!! And if you have ever heard tumthumping by chumbawumba or bro hymn by pennywise he listens

Meanwhile random is like an anything goes type deal they probably don’t have a sort of “genre” of music they really like listening to cuz they like a little bit of everything… but they also probably like new wave LOLOL I could see random completely booping to songs like let’s get physical

Or random just listens to shakira….. Only shakira. AND has a rlly good shakira impression le le lo le he annoys the others with it. Thats my headcanon for random

And icy is lame and stupid so he probably doesn’t have a very interesting choice in music… COMMON ICY L but he frequently sees it as a distraction and can go without it most of the time. But sometimes he can put some on music and have it in the background while he works and stuff.

If he puts anything on it can’t be too loud or distracting and he probably doesn’t like lyrics in what he listens to either bcuz then he’d try to over analyze them and get distracted from whatever he’s tryna do. So something defo instrumental but not like a movie soundtrack or anything!!! ✨something classical ✨

And he’s the only one who likes classical music (even though he also, by his own admission, still doesn’t like it that much) so the others get rlly pissed off when his shit starts playing WHERES THE WORDS AT POINDEXTER???

Ngl though lowkey I could see him getting behind like those kinda new wave dance songs that have rlly long like openings think like blue Monday he would listen to blue Monday methinks just maybe try to find an instrumental version

ANYWAY that’s my opinion SEEEERIIIIIOOOUUUUSSSSLLLYYY Good luck with your playlist!!! Ngl I like going through playlists on Spotify and seeing the Blitzwing playlists bcuz sometimes they’re super super accurate and sometimes they’re like MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE. MINDLESS SELF INDULGENCE. Bunch of super like crazy stuff that personally I listen to myself and adore but don’t particularly think Blitzwing would listen to lol THOUGH MAYBE RANDOM WOULD LIKE THAT STUFF hope you enjoyed my rambling 😊😊😊😊😊
