𝙅𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙃𝙖𝙣𝙢𝙖 𝙔𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙘𝙖𝙣𝙤𝙣𝙨 (Pt.2)

Warnings; bad writing, possessive behavior, really ooc (I'm 90% sure that I missed the mark on this one), talks of Diane's rape, yandere if you really squint ig. If I missed anything, then please let me know ♡ Oml, tumblr's being a little bitch right now, I literally cannot right now. I'm going to repost Pt.1 and Pt.2. I'm so sorry, I have no clue as to why I have a word limit rn... Just know that this is super ooc :/

When Jack falls, he falls hard, and let's just say that he's never fallen. Throughout his whole life, his only goal was to avenge his mother and bring back her honor, hoping to achieve this by defeating his father, Yuujirou Hanma. Jack, himself, has stated multiple times throughout the show that he has no interest in women, money, or fame, only wanting to achieve his goal of revenge. This obviously means that he has no experience with women, and unlike Kastumi, it's by choice. He doesn't want to fall in love.

I think that Jack doesn't believe in love, that it's something that's fake and fabricated to appease another. There's no such thing as love at first sight and wanting to hold someone for comfort and not just to get off. These thoughts are so out of Jack's worldview that he sees them as just fiction that others' are pathetic enough to believe.

And, adding to that, I think that Jack would have a hard time understanding Baki and his relationship with Kozue. Baki and Kozue have been there for each other, showing true love, something that Jack's never had. Jack eventually learns to respect Baki, after some trial and error throughout the series, but he can't seem to understand why someone like Baki would believe in something as fictional as love.

Moving on from that, I think that Jack's childhood developed this sense of disgust toward love and just being vulnerable in general. I mean, imagine being born to a woman who was raped by the man she was supposed to kill, that's obviously not going to be the best childhood.

I can't imagine that Diane, Jack's mama, would ever show him such motherly love that's expected from a mama to her son. I think that's partially because of how Jack was conceived and her personality. Diane, whether it was a part of her persona as 'Jane' or not, was portrayed as a cold woman who had little regard for human life, and I can't see how she'd ever show warmth toward Jack when he was young.

While we don't know much about Jack's childhood or what happened to Diane later on in her life, I'm assuming that she never pursued relations with any other man, seeing as Yuujiro's actions caused her such distress. This means that Jack never grew up with a father figure present in his life, rather than his absent father, Yuujiro.

I'd assume that Diane would never speak nicely of Yuujiro, seeing as he raped her, and it was her original intention to kill him. Because children are like sponges, Jack probably absorbed all of Diane's hatred and general negativity towards his father, as he should, and internalized this anger.

Overall, Jack's situation growing up left no room for him to experience what love looked like, in a healthy manner. He never had parents who lead a good example, keeping him in the dark about any positives of being in a relationship. And that's what I think the root is for his distaste for being vulnerable, and the idea of being in a relationship with another.

Not only that, but I think that his mama's rape only caused Jack to view sex in a negative light, seeing that's how he was conceived. Now, I don't think that Jack is repulsed by sex in general, but I just think that he doesn't find it as welcoming (?) as other men would. I'm not too sure how to phrase it, but it's just not appealing to him, compared to most men.

However, that changes when he meets you, you, you.

There's no such thing as 'love at first sight' to Jack. He has to know a person for a year or so before he even considers having a lengthy conversation with them, where he actually puts a little effort into speaking with them. Jack's a very closed-off individual who has severe trust issues, as most figures do, and he can't open up to someone he's known for a short time.

This means that for you to catch his attention, that means that there's something special that he saw, whether you notice it or not doesn't matter. Jack saw something in you. Maybe it was how transparent you were, possibly your wisdom, it doesn't matter too much.

(little side tangent)

Though I do see Jack enjoying a partner who's similar to a therapist, someone with a lot of advice to give, someone with a shit ton of wisdom. An observer would be a good fit for Jack, they don't have to be studious or very loud, and he doesn't mind either. It's just that he needs someone who can read him easily because Jack has his own language of sorts (@yandere-writer-momo has discussed this in some of her posts).

It's odd because Jack is oh so blunt, but he holds back whenever it comes to his emotions, wanting to avoid being vulnerable. He doesn't hesitate to threaten someone or tell them that he doesn't like him, he doesn't have a problem with that. But whenever he finds you pretty, or likes the dress you're wearing, even if he thinks you're not taking care of yourself, he'll always phrase it in a "brutish" way.

Instead of saying "Your hair looks nice today" or "Have my jacket, you look cold," instead, he'll say "Did you do something to your hair? It doesn't look like shit today" or "You're built like a stick, you should work out more" as he hands you his jacket (more so throwing it over your shoulders and walking away).

And that's why he needs someone who can read through his insulting behavior, knowing that he's just shielding himself from appearing weak. Being observant is a requirement to having a successful relationship with Jack, and possibly with most of the men in Baki. All of them are so emotionally constipated, that they need someone who can read them like a book to actually have a progressive relationship.

Because of your ability to allow him to open up without words he knows attached, always thinking about you, you, you. He needs to protect you, the one person who understands him on a different level than everyone else. You're able to calm him down with a simple nod, practically telling him that you understood what he was trying to say. You don't just see him as the son of Yuujiro Hanma or as the man who's ruined his body with steroids and intense training techniques, instead, you see him as Jack.

The initial attraction he had toward you, when you first crossed paths, was more superficial than what I was talking about in the previous paragraph. It's most likely a simple case of curiosity that drew him to you. You somehow stood apart from others, causing his eyes to drift to you every time he scanned a crowd. It's possible that you were overly positive, keeping a smile on your face no matter what, or you were oddly quiet, silently observing everyone.

It could've just been your looks that made you attractive! Though Jack is emotionally stunted, even he can appreciate a nice piece of ass!

Either way, throughout the time and as your relationship progresses, the more you two talk, the more he begins to respect your character. Jack begins to see you for who you are and understands that you see him the way he sees you. (sorry that was a confusing sentence lol)

I'm not too sure if any of you have seen the movie Avatar, but in the movie, they use the phrase 'I see you,' and I think that it fits Jack's personality perfectly. It's more than love to Jack, and he likely doesn't even comprehend that it's love in the first year or so. It's something deeper than that, it's understanding each other on a primal level. Jack doesn't just understand your body and how it moves, or what to do to get it going, he understands how you think, and how you feel. But not in a weird way, in a loving way, y'know?

The two of you are like other halves, you'd have to be for Jack to pursue you. Jack has to know that you're meant for him. He's never even considered dating another person, let alone revealing himself to someone else.

Bloodstone Manor Location Masterpost

Okay, since the next bit of Monster Mash is gonna have to happen at/near Bloodstone Manor and Ted needs to go for a walk in the woods nearby, where do we think it is? The US and UK are the leading candidates in the fandom, but I need to pick a spot so my characters can get the fuck out of Ohio. My money is on the US, but I'm open to counterpoints.

Things to bear in mind:

1. Ulysses had a British accent. Elsa's accent is posh British. Verussa had an American accent, with some Broadway Mid-Atlantic that could suggest fancy New England OR just putting on airs. It's entirely possible one of the couple moved to be with the other, but that doesn’t settle which side of the ocean it happened on. Elsa's accent could be from a UK childhood OR a UK boarding school OR a choice to emulate her mother and annoy Verussa.

2. The house is old--or at least full of old stuff--but there's something of a history of Europeans bringing their weird-ass shit across the Atlantic and building absolutely batshit mansions in the US. Probably because there's more open space for it here.

3. The establishing shot of the rotunda shows it in hilly or mountainous terrain, with what looks like pine forest around it, and it sits on a parcel that is either big enough or far enough from neighbors that no one expects any outside response to roars, screams, explosions, etc. Either there's no one around to hear it or people REALLY mind their own business.

4. Of the hunters who make it to the funeral, one has a Scottish accent, two have American or Canadian accents, and one has what sounds like a South Korean accent (although apparently the actor was born in Argentina and moved to the US in the 90s, and I'm going off the many Korean-American voices I've heard at work, so "Korean-American" might be a better descriptor). Those are the people with connections to Ulysses and the time, resources, and motivation to show up to wherever this is. That suggests the location is most accessible to these people and not others. (Yes, I know, I've left out Jack's accent, but he was going to travel to wherever Ted was anyway; he had enough motivation that distance alone wasn't going to stop him.) North America has the numbers here; it's more likely that one Scot got on an international flight than that two North Americans did.

5. The guards are wearing "tacticool" BDUs and carrying some kind of zappy sticks or stun batons. The lack of guns is interesting and may indicate a location with stricter gun laws than the US ... or just that Verussa didn't want to accidentally kill her captive and that a lot of monsters are bulletproof anyway. The guards look and move a hell of a lot like an American tactical team and sound vaguely American when they're screaming. Would Verussa import guards, or hire local muscle? My money is on the latter.

6. Ulysses was old as balls. In the comics, he was positively ancient, and the opening narration implies he was old enough to be wearing pre-20th-century clothes in a flashback. He's definitely old enough to have gotten his hands on a nice piece of property in the UK, but also rich enough to have just bought a mountain in the US. He was also around for the last century-plus of history, and that may have affected his choice of headquarters. If the original Bloodstone Manor got bombed out during World War 2, for example, he might have moved to a less bomb-filled location.

7. Corpse Muppet! Verussa found somebody willing to turn her husband's remains into a Cryptkeeper animatronic. I have no idea whether that's a thing in the UK, but there are definitely enough weirdo taxidermists, puppeteers, and general pieces of work here that someone would take Verussa's money to do it. There are even subcultures here that traditionally sit the corpse up at the table for the wake, so it might not even be that weird to the right professional.

8. Flaming Tuba Guy is available for the funeral. Real Flaming Tuba Guy is American and takes his flaming tuba to Burning Man. I have no idea whether the UK is also a likely place to find a dude with a flaming tuba, but I have difficulty imagining a smooth process for getting a combination brass instrument/flamethrower through customs. I don't think there's a lot of international Flaming Tuba action unless private jets get involved. Wherever Flaming Tuba is from, I'm betting that's the jurisdiction where Bloodstone Manor is.

9. Jack makes it to Bloodstone Manor. Now, I've talked before about his being highly motivated and distance not being an obstacle for him, but if we assume he didn't use a magic portal or something (big if, I know), he had to go by land, sea, or air, and that takes time, no matter how motivated he is. Jack is centuries old, has a history of involvement with violence, and speaks with a Mexican accent. Wherever the Manor is, a dude matching that description was able to get there in time without setting off a ton of international alerts. The fact that Jack is as old as he is AND unknown to the hunters despite being a werewolf suggests that he prefers to keep a low profile, and by now he's practiced at it. He wouldn't want to leave a paper trail, especially when he's on a rescue mission that he knows will likely involve killing people. (I know he doesn't WANT to kill anybody, but the odds of him and Ted getting out of there with a zero body count were always slim. And he brought a bomb in his pocket.) Between his money and his accent, Jack would have an easier time moving around undetected in North America; he could reach a North American Manor by car rather than having to smuggle himself on a boat, charter a private plane (with a flight plan!), or go through customs at Heathrow or wherever. Not that he wouldn't risk getting on SHIELD's radar to save Ted, but if the hunt happened soon after Ted's capture, Jack would be more likely to physically reach the Manor in time if it were in North America.

10. Ted! Ted is at the funeral, obviously. In the comics, Ted canonically lives in the Everglades and honestly that's the best place for him. Verussa would have to have Ted transported from Florida to wherever the Manor is. All the logistical problems of moving Jack across an ocean are magnified in moving TED across an ocean. Again, it's much easier to move him within North America, which I'd consider a point in favor of a North American Manor. If the Manor were in the UK, wouldn't Verussa have gone for a victim based closer to home?

11. Sushi. "Let's do sushi; I owe you that." Apparently Jack and Ted have a history with sushi. I have absolutely no idea how common sushi restaurants are in the UK, but on the west coast of North America, you can pretty much throw a stick and hit one. (I know this because I moved last fall, and one of my first priorities in the new place was Find The Good Local Restaurants. Google was like OH, YOU WANT SUSHI?! HERE ARE TWENTY PLACES. Seriously, it's almost as common as pizza, at least in California.) I assume the boys aren't heading into a major urban center for food after their escape, so wherever Bloodstone Manor is, Jack thinks he can find a rural, exurban, or suburban sushi restaurant within a couple hours' travel (close enough that he can go, pick up their order, and make it back to Ted before raw fish goes funky). Sushi restaurants, at least in the western US, tend to be run by East Asian immigrants--part of the larger culture of immigrants starting restaurants within the first or second generation of arriving here. For stupid racist reasons, most East Asian immigration to the US took place after 1965, so there are a lot of sushi restaurants here that were established in or after the 1980s. Sushi restaurants also tend to be more common in coastal regions here, presumably because REALLY fresh ocean fish get more expensive and harder to acquire farther inland. Jack proposing sushi, if he and Ted are sitting on a log in the US, suggests they're somewhere near a coast, in a region with a sizable post-1965 East Asian immigrant population. (BTW, the reason I keep saying "East Asian" instead of "Japanese" is because a LOT of these restaurants in my area are run by Korean families, more rarely Chinese or Vietnamese ones. I've been in exactly one sushi restaurant here that was run by a Japanese family, and it was 40 years old.) Of course, I don't know shit about the takeout culture of the UK; maybe Yorkshire is full of sushi restaurants or something.

Conclusions.

Between the geography, the accents, the material culture, and the logistics, I think the balance of probability suggests that Bloodstone Manor is in North America, most likely the United States. There are multiple hilly or mountainous regions with pine forests near coasts, close enough to centers of East Asian immigration that the boys can reliably get their sushi.

So with all that in mind ...

[szollibisz]

i recently imagined Owen (without his knowledge) being immortal a la Old Guard/Jack Harkness etc. how do you think Everything that's Wrong with him would be affected once he wakes after having been shot in the head by Curt? like sure, realising that Curt's love for him wasn't enough for Curt to stay or look for him is one thing. but him realising that Curt is fully capable of killing him while he thought himself the Joker to Curt's Batman, not to mention his eternal hesitation to kill Curt... that would destroy him on an entirely new level, i think.

oh absolutely, there's one thing in the world that could make him worse and it's that. it would be unrecoverable

i think he'd be completely just like. broken for a while trying to process everything, and then he'd go back to his normal regular misery x100

I imagine him as a character who looks at himself more like a means to an end than a person. That's why spying and then chimera were so important to him. His only purpose is to work for a greater goal, because he can and others can't (in both like a god complex and a dog way. if that makes sense) so in my interpretation of his character and curtwen the breaking of that pattern is what's so fascinating. Instead of having a greater goal for owen to completely dedicate his life to, it's suddenly a person.

He developed this deep, all-consuming love for curt, and honestly believed curt felt at least similar. When in reality curt was codependent on owen yes, but he generally felt a normal human amount of love, that is again, relatively normal. (Which is what owen realized after the fall.) Still, this was the time in his life when owen felt the most human. People aren't like long term goals such as "saving the world" they constantly give back in small ways, and ground you, and after all we are social creatures who need connection. But unlike ambitions, people can disappoint you in completely new ways every day.

So after the fall, owen's only option was to go back to normal. Find his ambition and give himself over to the greater goal. But in all that time he couldn't quite get rid of curt, or his remaining feelings for him whether that's hate or love. So owen, after finally feeling happy and like his feelings were reciprocated by someone for the first time, got everything taken away from him and had to rebuild from scratch. cue being way more miserable than in the pre-curt era.

This is probably the cycle that would repeat again. Owen thinks curt loves him more than he actually does -> owen is let down by curt -> owen stops looking for happiness altogether and goes back to being a tool for a better future -> miserable because he gave up on happiness

Like obviously if we mean immortal immortal, that's probably something that owen would thrive in, in the long run. i'm talking world's most productive vampire. knows all languages, connections everywhere, definitely off the hinges. But for the time after curt shoots him yeah. probably in a mood where he kills people for breathing too loud, but internally (and sometimes externally) cries himself to sleep every night

ok jesus this was so long i'm sorry. i just have a lot of thought about this guy

#not even rereading everything i wrote #go be free brainworm #spies are forever #tin can bros #saf #owen carvour #agent curt mega #tcb #curtwen #szol's spy rambles #ask box moment

Could you write something for mom!wandanat x daughter!reader or just mom!nat x daughter!reader (which ever you prefer) where R is in a situation where she doesn’t feel safe, but she’s also scared to say anything because other people are around. So she calls her mom and uses a code word/phrase they chose that basically means “I need help, but can’t say I need help out loud.”

Idk if that makes any sense 🤦🏻‍♀️ So basically they’re like halfway through a normal conversation when R says/asks something like “do we have any (insert random food/object here) at the compound?” and Nat says “I’m on my way” and immediately drops what she’s doing to go get her.

It doesn’t have to be exactly like that, please take the idea and make it your own!!! I love your writing! When I had this idea, I thought you’d write it well so I wanted to share! No pressure if you’re busy atm or just don’t like the idea! I totally get it ☺️ much love ❤️ hope you’re doing well!

Hi, thank you for the idea loves, and thank you for liking the shitty things I wrote it's not that well written like my favorite writers but I'm really glad you like them. Hope you're doing well too <3

Party Shenanigans

Taglist: @diaryoflife @xxromanoffxx @lissaaaa145 @fxckmiup

Parties should be fun and outgoing to some people but to you, it's really not your thing. But here you were getting ditched by your best friend at the last minute of your plan to go together.

The original plan was to meet up at the house of someone– you don't even remember their name, only the fact that your best friend was begging you to come with her to– quote "socialize more".

But instead of coming home because your best friend canceled you decided it's best to just come in cause you were already there and what's the worst that could happen right?

When you entered the scent of alcohol, puke, and sex filled your nose. The loud music blaring around the house and people jumping around made the floor quake. You already hated that.

Their eyes landed on yours when you entered the house causing you to cower at their attention.

"Look who we have here" Someone named Jack– you remembered– slung his arm on your shoulders and grinned at you.

You awkwardly smiled back and he led you to the silent part of the room where the most famous group in your school was in.

"Oohhh Black Widow's daughter" a girl mused eyeing you up and down. The rest of them looked at you with interest in their eyes and the most that stood out was Georgia— the famous influencer slash cheerleader of the school.

"Come sit with us" she chimed. You internally rolled your eyes at her fake tone and outgoing personality.

You obliged and sat in the space she left for you.

"So what's it like to be the Black Widows' daughter?" she started.

This is why you barely have friends.

"uhm-"

"Is it true that your mom killed a ton of bad people?"

"Dude" someone interjected

"What?"

"Do you have cool gadgets too?"

"No-"

"Did your mom punch you in the face out of anger?"

"We should try calling your mom"

"Yeah that's a great idea"

All question was pampered to you and you didn't have time to answer any of the flowing questions.

Your leg was already bouncing, you started picking the skin around your nails. You wanted to go home.

"Y/n, call your mom" Georgia demanded.

"Uhm yeah sure" you shakily took out your phone and pressed your moms contact.

Not even a milisecond your mom answered the phone. They took your phone and put it on speaker.

"Hi honey, everything okay?" Natasha said. You could hear she was skimming through the writing of her mission reports.

"HII MRS. ROMANOFF!!" Jake boomed. Natasha on the other end winced at how loud their voice was.

Before your mom could reply everyone started pampering her with questions they asked you earlier.

You really wanna get out of here. You wanted to go home but really you didn't want to leave to be a bad impression.

"Mama do we have any orange slices at the compound?" you suddenly shouted and all of them looked at you with furrowed eyebrows.

They looked back at the phone to see that Natasha already ended the call. All of the slumped back to the chair in disappointment and were met with silence.

Natasha on the other side started scrambling for her keys and running her way out of the compound to quickly get to you.

'''

You flinched when suddenly the door slammed open seeing a red-headed woman who was panting at how fast she needed to get to you.

All of their mouths were ajar seeing the Black Widow in real-life form and you sighed in relief that you finally get to go home.

The room erupted with a ton of squeals and questions about an autograph from your mom but with one glare all of them stayed silent.

"You wanna go home?" She asked softly.

"Yes, please."

Can you write something about how Quinn’s season 3 accident affected Santana? Please :))

Ooh I actually did this scenario as a warmup/procrastination exercise for a proper-grown up/non fanfic related script I worked on a while ago. So it’s in the wrong format and probably super weird to read but oh well. This is how I always saw the post-crash scenario playing out in my head..

.

INT. HOSPITAL WAITING ROOM - NIGHT

The glee club sit gathered among a cluster of mismatched chairs. In the thick of it is Santana, balanced half in Brittany's lap, half in Mike's. She taps her foot impatiently - Mike wincing as her heel squishes his toe, over and over again...

Rachel: What's taking so long?

Although everyone else has changed, Rachel is still in her wedding dress. A comical sight in the context of the bland white walls and otherwise casual clothing. Finn watches her pace the length of the room.

Finn: I'm sure she'll be okay. The doctor said all the bleeding was internal, so they can just put it back, right?

Santana: That's not how it works, you irregular bowel-movement.

Mr Schue: Santana

Santana: What? First we had to go along with that ridiculous wedding earlier, and now I'm supposed to listen to Mr. Would-Be-Berry over there vomit worms from where his brain should be? No me Gusta

The group watch silently as Santana storms out of the room. Brittany follows.

Tina: Should someone-

Rachel: No. Give them a minute.

Finn: Rachel, it's the middle of the night.

Rachel: And their best friend is lying somewhere in this building in an operating theatre fighting for her life, Finn.

Mercedes: Rachel's right. Just leave Brittany to do her thing. I'm sure they won't go far.

EXT. AMBULANCE BAY - CONT.

Santana leaps into the passenger seat, startling JACK (25-ish), the unsuspecting driver.

Santana: Okay, where are we headed?

Jack: You can't be in here.

Santana: And you can't have sexual relations with anyone under the age of eighteen, but that didn't stop you crawling up to my room at Dr. Lopez' annual holiday mixer last year, did it?

Jack tenses, face white as a ghost.

Jack: Please don't tell your Dad.

Santana: As if he'd listen.

A beat, then Jack shakes his head in defeat. He turns the key in the ignition, engine whirring to life.

Jack: I was actually just about to finish my shift.

Santana: Great. You can drive me home.

As quickly as the ambulance starts moving, it stops. Suddenly. Tyres screech against the road beneath. A lone figure blocks the vehicle's path - obscured by headlights.

Jack: What the hell?

It's Brittany.

Santana gawks, angrily alighting the vehicle. She slams the door behind her.

Santana: What are you doing?

Brittany: What are you doing?

Santana: Leaving. Obviously.

Brittany: No you're not.

Santana: Yes I am.

The vehicle behind them zooms away, stranding Santana in the ambulance bay - aghast. Brittany approaches her carefully, eyes glowing with that disturbingly intense focus she seldom displays around any others.

Brittany: Quinn will be okay.

Santana: You can't know that.

Brittany: I know that if she wakes up and the first thing she sees is Rachel's wedding dress, or Finn's annoying face then she'll go into shock and die for real.

Santana can't help herself. She laughs. A wet, broken, but nonetheless there, laugh. The pair fall into each other, both softening the second their bodies meet.

Santana: If she dies, I'm going to kill her.

Brittany: I know that too

INT. HOSPITAL ROOM - DAY 

Quinn opens her eyes slowly, wincing in pain. Then, wincing again at the sight of a wide-eyed, tipsy Judy Fabray - towering unsteadily above her. 

Judy: Quinnie, you’re awake!

Rachel (O.S): Oh my God!

Rachel, white dress-and-all, is next to enter Quinn’s field of vision. She doesn’t quite push Judy out of the way to get to Quinn, except she does. Aggressively. 

Rachel: Hi. 

Quinn: Everything hurts. 

A beat, then:

Quinn: What happened? 

Santana (O.S): You got into a fight with a semi-trailer. 

Santana is the only other person in the room. She sits alone by the window, unamused. While her comment leaves Rachel and Judy visibly shocked, Quinn is unperturbed.  

Quinn: Is the truck okay? 

There’s a loud, obnoxious snort. Santana crosses the room then, paying no mind to the human obstacles in her path, to climb wordlessly up onto the bed. She and Quinn curl into each other without pretence, much to the discomfort of their audience. 

Rachel: We’ll just-

Judy: Doctor

Rachel: Yes! We’ll go find a doctor

Neither girl on the bed react to the sudden departure, too wrapped up in one another to register anyone else coming or going. Quinn seems the first to realise how odd that is - quirking a brow. 

Quinn: Santana? 

Santana: Yeah?

An accidental swipe of Santana’s hand against Quinn’s leg distracts her from finishing the thought. She frowns, features darkening in an instant.

Quinn: I can’t feel my legs. 

Silence - just for a moment. Santana sits up abruptly, balled fist rising high into the air, then back down to collide with Quinn’s thigh. 

Santana: Anything?

A long, gut-wrenching beat.

Then...

Another.

Quinn: No. 

Brittany enters the room just in time to find Santana standing up from the bed. They lock eyes: Santana’s watery, yet determined; Brittany’s simply confused. Santana clears her throat, turning back to face Quinn but refusing to look at her. 

Santana: Berry’s right. You need a doctor. 

INT. HALLWAY - MOMENTS LATER

Santana staggers out of the room, collapsing against the nearest wall, only to find Rachel there already. Rachel’s eyes flicker to the opposite window, where Quinn now makes conversation with a nervous Brittany. 

The pair share a look. Knowing. Terrified. Santana balks. 

Santana: I need some air.

Rachel: Me too. 

As they approach the elevator, our world descends into a dark mass of blurry, monochromatic confusion. Santana and Rachel grow unsteady in their steps - the only clear figures now in a glitchy, pixelated hospital backdrop. A deep, bassy music track thrums: 

Rachel: It doesn’t hurt me

Santana: Yeah, yeah, yo

The elevator door opens, both step in. Rachel presses the button, Santana falling against the back wall in defeat. 

Rachel: Do you wanna feel, how it feels? 

Santana: Yeah, yeah, yo.  

The bell dings, elevator doors bouncing open. Santana bursts out as if repelled by an unknown force. 

Santana (CONT’D): Do you wanna know, know that it doesn’t hurt me?

Rachel is slower, but remains in tow. Barely a step behind. 

Rachel: Yeah, yeah, yo.

Rachel: Do you wanna hear about the deal that I’m makin? 

We see a montage of moments between Rachel and Quinn: slaps in bathrooms, wistful looks in choir rooms...

Rachel: And if I only could, I’d make a deal with God

Fights... 

Laughs...

Santana: And I’d get him to swap our places

Then, a similar MONTAGE of flashbacks for Quinn and Santana - only this time more volatile: backstabbing, glares, hallway fights...

Santana (PRESENT DAY) shakes the memory off. She zigzags through the hospital, in a desperate race towards the exit. 

Rachel: Be runnin’ up that road

An elderly woman steps out suddenly from behind a door. Santana evades her in the nick of time, Rachel doesn’t. They collide at speed.

SMASH TO: 

Memory of Santana, colliding with Quinn in the McKinley Hallway. An explosive fight. 

Santana: Be running up that hill 

Then other memories: softer, this time. Of Quinn crying into Santana at Nationals. Of Quinn hugging Santana after she was outed. 

Santana: Be running up that buildin’ 

Of casual touches, and smiles, and the pair ruling McKinley with their iron, perfectly manicured fists. 

BACK to: 

INT. HOSPITAL - PRESENT DAY

Santana stands outside Quinn’s room again. There are tears in her eyes. Rachel appears at her side, then Brittany. The three watch their friend helplessly, as Quinn tries (and fails) to prop herself up in the hospital bed. 

All: Say, if I only could, oh...

[shootingpuckgoss]

I've just seen a lot on this so I thought I could talk abt it. I go to fashion school in NYC at FIT and I have an internship at Macy's which is the owner of Bloomingdale's. My internship is is in buying and Sammy works in buying for Bloomingdale's so I have to drop off samples sometimes and especially in late summer like late aug early sep she was still an intern there and sometimes I would give samples and notes etc. to her. She was nothing of note (not mean or nice) yk. But on her own job. It is definitely 9-5 corporate work. Yes, you can not get anywhere in this industry without connections and privileges no matter how you get them but she very much has a real 9-5 job. What she does is Fashion Buying for Women's ready to wear at a very big department store. I'm assuming because just in dec she was not an inter anymore she is still very like minor tasks, but overall what a buyer does it put the clothes ins stores cause someones has to do it. Getting the right quantity, color, size, and product in the right store at the right time. Saying that she prob has max like two weeks paid leave so unless she wants to lose her job (cause there are easily hundreds of people that would kill for it and are able to do it) she will have to work this summer and not travel like she has been. I also have friends that are like mutuals w some of her friends and from what I've heard she's into like anime and "artsy" stuff and apparently her and Jack met at the marquee which is a club and it's very like heavy partying vibes like lots of coke and weed.

Yeah god knows but thanks for the info anon (the ending🤢 my respect is sooo wearing thin for Jack)

[the-storyteller-and-her-soldiers]

Bewitching Fate/New Self-Insert?

So as y'all know I've been hyperfixated mainly on FF14 and FFSOP as of late. Y'all also know that my royal s/i is my ff14 s/i because I want all my loves together~! (Canon be damned, my worlds now!)

BEWARE: Spoilers for FFSOP and FF14 (mainly Shadowbringers)

So some of you also know that at the end of SOP Jack and his friends become the bringers of darkness Chaos and the Fiends of Chaos in order to create new Warriors of Light for the land they inhabit. Well, in FF14, Guess what your character becomes?

Ding Ding Ding If you guessed a Warrior of Light, you get a cookie and kisses from your f/o (the kisses were gonna happen regardless, but yeah)

Well, the organization that Thancred and all my friends/family are in -- the scions -- work with the Warrior of Light to bring light to Eorzea! And any beings of darkness are considered an enemy...

Well, Jack still has his 'day job' as my s/i's royal guard! So when she ventures off and ends up staying in Eorzea longer than planned, you know he and our friends aren't too far behind. The only problem on top of the internal cruel twist of fate of me being a WoL is that people in Eorzea can see others' aetherial balance...

So let's just say the first meeting between factions was very... tense to put it lightly. If it wasn't for me so excited to see Jack, Jed, Ash, Neon, and Sophia, then vouching for them to the point I said "I'm a princess and the only one who can slay primals! If you wanna fight these guys, I hope you found someone else who won't become a mindless slave to the primals 'cause I'll quit. Not my land so it really shouldn't be my problem BUT IT IS!"

Needless to say, everyone lowered their weapons but kept their eyes peeled for any sort of slip-up from the other side. Especially Thancred when it came to Jack... If anyone asked, he said it was simply because he couldn't risk such darkness corrupting their strongest ally further... But who knows why he'd spy in on softer moments..?

--

Now fast forward to ShadowBringers where I and the scions find ourselves in a situation to save a world overrun with Light. This place is so off-balance that the light has turned many of its inhabitants into angelic-looking monsters known as sin eaters who only live to consume aether!

So now it's my job to slay the mightiest sin eaters known as Light Wardens in order to bring darkness back to the realm and restore balance.

The only problem is I'm the only one who can take in their light without transforming immediately myself. But even then we don't know how much light I can take...

Fast forward EVEN MORE to the death of the final Light Warden and me taking in their light. That was the straw that broke my frail form's back and instilled the beginning of a transformation.

My daughter Ryne (A girl originally known as another Minfilia since she was bestowed powers to prevent a total flood of light) was powerful enough to halt the corruption but not cleanse it and no way is currently known!

SO with that said what if Jack and our friends were also with the scions. Therefore when they see the transformation and how some of my allies will be so quick to turn against me should I show any signs, they decide to join me in the enduring battles since who better to bring back the darkness then those who embody it?

Also cue a moment where I make Jack promise to kill me if and when I lose myself, much to our mutual dismay

But with that said: a whole sin-eater AU has been in my mind so I even have a design at behest of my bestie @floweringforgetfulness for biblically accurate Becca (I still lose myself to giggles with that) I have a design (THANK YOU BESTIE!!!!!!)

The only thing is that as a Light Warden/Sin Eater they usually go by names like "Innocence" "Tesleen the Forgiven" "Eros" "Philia" so I kinda wanna keep that name so I was thinking something along the line of Paitence since the others are like greek forms of love/virtues

So any ideas would be appreciated!!

[stupid-sloot-headcanons]

I honestly can't get over how bad the game is on every level. I'm going to rant about it and then off the top of my head make this game that took a decade to release better to show how easy it is and what could have been.

The graphics look like shit, the character models look like shit, the ui is terrible, the gameplay is repetitive and the boss fights are just as copy-pasted. Why are you shooting every Justice League member with guns and why does it fucking work? Why bother with multiple playable characters when they all play the same?

Solution: You can easily make Deadshot the shooter and give him the best range while only using revolvers and pistols in melee, Harley can be a jack of all trades with high agility and acrobatic combat, explosives, some fun ranged crowd-control abilities with her fun gadgets and her hammer for melee. King Shark can be a tank and use grapples and do melee crowd control, but lacks any real ranged skills. Captain Boomerang can also be in-between like Harley but where she has a focus on melee skills with some ranged, he has mostly ranged skills with some melee.

Braniac brainwashing the Justice League is stupid and is clearly trying to ride the trend of "broooo what if superheroes were evil and dark bro, it's a deconstruction bro" that has oversaturated capeshit these days with series like Injustice, The Boys, and Invincible. Injustice is the biggest thing they're ripping off here, and since Injustice is a shitty aping of the Justice Lords, then have this game directly rip off that concept instead. My solution would be to not use the Suicide Squad for this kind of plot since they aren't anywhere near powerful enough to take on the Justice League in any capacity. But let's say you have to keep the Suicide Squad as the main group.

If you have to do this games as a service bullshit with multiple seasons, have this season be about rescuing the Justice League and having to deal with the Justice Lords/other interdimensional counterparts. Amanda Waller's Intel network and Lex Luthor are trying to find the original JL, who are being held prisoner in various places by the Justice Lords. In order to figure out how to defeat the Justice Lords, the Suicide Squad is sent on covert missions to each of the places the League members are being imprisoned. After you find a League member, a boss fight ensues with a minor villain from each hero's rogues gallery--in the Justice Lords' home universe, let's say that the villains were all either killed OR brainwashed into serving "the good guys" via torture or a brainwashing technique similar to Braniac in this game.

It's much more believable that the Suicide Squad (with the help of the Justice League and intel from waller, and gadgets from Lex Luthor) could team up against boss villains FIRST and then assist the League in a fight against the Lords in a later season. Lex supplies the Squad with kryptonite bullets and weapon upgrades against Lord!Superman, but he wants his Superman rescued because his ego won't let anyone else defeat the Man of Tomorrow. Lex is going to be the one to save Superman, use him, and never let him forget it. Instead of brainwashed Superman, you have to fight one of his villains like Doomsday. Braniac is the final boss of season 1, so after every boss fight you gain more of his tech in order for Lexcorp to research his weaknesses.

For Wonder Woman's boss replacement you can use Cheetah or Doctor Poison; Flash can use someone like Zoom, Batman can use Bane or Poison Ivy (which would make some major internal conflict for Harley), etc. At the end of each boss fight you can choose to spare the brainwashed villain and unlock them as a special attack where they show up on the field for a brief period, or kill them to get more Braniac tech and get stronger weapons for the final boss.

If you HAVE to keep the Justice League as boss fights, THEN CHANGE THE WAY THE BOSS FIGHTS WORK. WHY THE FUCK IS EVERY BOSS FIGHT JUST "SHOOT UNTIL HEALTH BAR GO DOWN" with brief dps checks in between???

For Flash, make it a fight where your main weapons are useless and you have to lure him into the boss fight in an environment prepared with traps. Have Waller and Lex's scientists create a material that can fuck with the Speed Force and temporarily disable it long enough to chip away at his health, and that you have to position your characters in front of and around traps to reduce his speed temporarily. Instead of Boomerang pissing on his corpse and making a joke about his big dick, have him feel strange about finally being able to kill his enemy and seeing the fastest man alive on his knees and a shell of what he stood for. Make each villain killing their hero bittersweet and not filled with Reddit tier humor.

Instead of Harley making a new strain of fear toxin that Batman isn't immune to (which makes no sense, as after AK he is immune to fear itself), use her connection with Poison Ivy from the comics. She's immune to Ivy's toxins and have her incorporate her blood into a strain that can adapt and overpower Batman's toxins. The final ingredient is spores from one of Ivy's old plants, so you have to go to the ruins of Gotham where she died and gather it. This can give Harley some closure that she never had in the games, and makes more sense than the game's plot. When she defeats Batman, make it a close fight and have her brag about doing what Joker never could and not needing him anymore, and have Batman tell her that despite everything, he's glad she's not being hurt by Joker and ironically, HE'S the one that's been brainwashed now. Have her feel conflicted and sad when she kills him, because despite wanting to kill Batman for years, she never imagined it would be this hard to pull the trigger. Have her thank Batman for trying to see the good in the worst people like her, and have her say something like "After you give your parents a hug, say hi to Pammy for me, Bats." Instead of the most disrespectful depiction of Batman I've ever seen and spitting on a hugely important and well made legacy of games and Batman media.

Have some of the villains feel conflicted about killing their respective JL hero like Harley, but have each of them deal with it differently. King Shark views it from a survival or evolutionary standard, Deadshot is pure business, Harley is genuinely fucked up about it because of her relationship with Bruce, and Boomerang try to brush off how it affects him but still show conflict.

This game proves to me that there is one, ONE great piece of Suicide Squad media (the second film is just good imo) and it's because the writers understood the dynamic needed to make it work: Assault on Arkham. The plot works because the Squad isn't dealing with a world ending threat, it's a heist with fun action and a believable level of power. I disliked the movies because of the threat level of the antagonists being way out of proportion for what the Suicide Squad members are capable of taking on. The Squad is designed to do covert operations, and a capeshit Ocean's Eleven story works perfectly with them. The character interactions are everything you want in a Suicide Squad story, and the humor actually works. Harley and Joker have some of my favorite scenes of them as a couple, and her getting with Deadshot is also believable. The twist involving Black Spider is well done and is totally believable, and the fights are all really fun. King Shark and Killer Frost also have a lot of chemistry and you genuinely feel sad when the bomb collar scene happens despite them both being terrible people.

Also I'm petty but Hynden Walch as Harley is way better than Tara Strong as Harley. I've NEVER liked Tara's Harley and I'm surprised Hynden Walch has only voiced her in Assault on Arkham and The Batman when she's really good at it.

I think the reason DC has pushed so hard for Suicide Squad to get big despite only one character getting popular (Harley) is because they really, really want their own Guardians of the Galaxy. The problem is that Guardians went from an obscure team in the comics to household names because they're misfits and outcasts, but also good people that are likeable and become a found family. The Suicide Squad are a harder sell because they're all violent criminals, they're forced under threat of death to work together, and they're a lot harder to make likeable. Assault on Arkham pulled it off but clearly it's the exception after the growing list of failed Suicide Squad media. And Rocket and Groot are just way easier to turn into mascots, but each Guardians character is also interesting and resonate better with the average viewer. Harley is the only Squad character to make that public impact and it's largely due to her character's impact in the Arkham games and the DCAU beforehand. Nobody in the public seems to give a fuck about any other Squad member, unlike the Guardians of the Galaxy.

It's a failed experiment, let it rest. I'm honestly praying Wonder Woman's game is just "okay" at this point because this game has me so worried. Especially since the original plan to do a Superman game would have worked perfectly! Form what we saw, Rocksteady's staff at the time understood his character and most importantly, CARED ABOUT HIM. Everything from Kill the Justice League just screams of a staff that has no care or knowledge of the source material, whether it's comics, the DCAU, or even the previous Arkham games. It's people who don't care being blatantly hostile towards the fans who do care and making fun of you for caring. It's my least favorite kind of cynical edgy garbage. In Current Year, genuineness will always be better to me than cynical edginess because EVERYTHING is quippy, navel-gazing, cynical, sarcastic and edgy bullshit. It's not new anymore.

System reactions to Case 3 and 4

I'm not gonna remember everyone so we're doing this. obvious spoilers but they're mostly out of context

[willgrahambf]

I just feel Will doesn't love Hannibal. Will only loves how Hannibal makes him feel. Hannibal wants Will to be a killer because he thinks that is his true self and he would be happy that way but for Will his relationship with Hannibal is all about what he himself gains from it. Not trying to say Will is bad for that, Hannibal doesn't deserve anything and most would kill him for what he did in s1 and he would deserve it. But I just feel Will would gladly kill Hannibal, would gladly leave Hannibal to rot in prison but can't bc he wants to feel understood. Wdyt?

well, let me just start off by saying that every relationship you enter into is selfish in some way because you are getting something out of it, whatever it is that that person makes you feel. loving someone is not entirely sacrificial. it's just not. (i've been in a relationship for almost a decade so i know this lmao) and even if this weren't true, will and hannibal are both inherently selfish people and you can't really understate the importance of being understood on hannibal. the whole theme of the show is being "seen," being understood. the amount of times that someone says, "what do you see?" or "see?" or "see." or any other variation is... a lot. i haven't counted but you get the point. and this is one of the greatest things that you can ever feel with someone. we often feel an internalized loneliness because no one else can really "know" us in that they can't see every thought and feeling and emotion that happens inside of us. human emotions are complex. sometimes its hard to even understand what you yourself are and what you feel and what you want. so will getting this from hannibal is not just some sort of satisfactory, feel-good response. its not just pleasure. its everything. he says, "i've never known myself as well as i know myself when i'm with him." and will does give this to hannibal in return. the feeling of being understood is reciprocal. in secondo, he travels across the ocean to find him. he goes to his childhood home because he wants to understand him. he does this even in the face of rejection, of almost dying, against the advice of everyone who cares about him. if he didn't care for him in some way, he wouldn't have done this because when you love someone you do want to know everything about them and if you really really love them, you're willing to disregard everyone else to say "no, there's something worth seeing and loving in there. what we have between us is worth it." by this point, their relationship is more than hannibal seeing will's capacity for violence and wanting to bring it out in him. they both feel alone, more alone than even a normal person would, but when they come together the world makes sense. as for will being "glad" to kill hannibal or leave him in prison forever... i think there's evidence that that isn't entirely true. perhaps he could have lived with hannibal in prison, but only because hannibal was alive and will did know exactly where he was and where he could find him, and i don't believe that he could be entirely "happy" with hannibal in prison and this goes back to knowing himself and the world making sense when he's with hannibal. as soon as he's pulled back into the world of the fbi, he says he has to go see hannibal even though we've seen will solve murders with way less evidence even when his brain was on fire. he could have said no to jack. he could've solved the case himself, but he didn't. he went back to hannibal.

will is a complex character who contradicts himself constantly and makes himself willfully ignorant at times. he tries to believe one thing that he believes is right or he's been told is right until he has to make a decision and then the real will comes out. if he'd been glad to kill hannibal without a second thought, he would have shot him in his kitchen in yakimono. he would've slit hannibal's throat when mason had him over the pig pen. he could've come up behind him in the uffizi gallery and stabbed him in the back. will has numerous chances to kill hannibal, and he chooses to save him every time. no example is greater than the wrath of lamb. he sets up this whole thing where dolarhyde is going to kill hannibal, but when the moment comes, he draws his gun to stop dolarhyde. the only way that will is glad to see hannibal dead is if he is with him. because they are one. they're conjoined. living without each other is the real agony because they'd go back to being alone. i would say if you don't understand this, watch the show a couple more times. remove yourself from the sugar-coated idea of love that tv and movies give us. real love is about accepting each other, being free to be yourself, knowing that no matter what you are safe from judgment with that person. i've told my partner things that i have never told another soul. i just can't say enough how being understood is not a trivial thing. if its selfish then its the most important selfish thing that you can do for yourself. if no one ever understands you, you will feel alone forever, and humans are not built to be alone. we need someone to be looking back at us.

#yep this is really fucking long but anon asked a big question so here's a big answer #i genuinely hope this helps #i think hannibal is one of those shows that takes a few watches to really get it #hannibal #nbc hannibal #hannibal meta #ask

[meta-squash]

i'm looking at my absolutely ancient document of random ideas for torchwood fics and some of them are pretty cool and i might do them now that it's been over a decade and i'm a much better writer

some of them are so vague i have absolutely no idea what my original idea was but i really really wish i did

some random rambles and such about old torchwood fic ideas under the cut and also a list of those weird fragments i wrote down

-For AGES, like since idk 2011 or something, I've had this idea to write something based on phalaenopsis, which is a species of orchid. Ages ago I had a slightly more concrete but still vague idea, but I lost the document a few external hard drives ago, so now I only have the vaguest of fragments. All I remember is that it was supposed to start with some orchids in a pot appearing on Owen's desk, and then the world starts ending. I wanted to use the characteristics of the flower as the overarching metaphor and also the literal conflict, but I can't remember what any of my ideas were. I might do some research and see if I can construct anything out of the fragments I have, since I still think it's a cool idea.

-I wrote a paragraph about how Gwen's entry into Torchwood was mostly painless compared to the others, basically comparing it to a birth by c-section and the others a natural birth (abstractly). This one I can mostly easily develop into a cool abstract oneshot, so I'm going to do that. I want to explore how the lack of trauma makes her different, and more specifically how it makes her unprepared but less ulta-sensitive than her coworkers. Basically about how everyone else is so traumatized and emotionally raw that they have to become desensitized to certain aspects of what they do or else they'd collapse entirely, compared to Gwen who doesn't have to and therefore is willing to face it. (And how that's not always a good thing for everyone.)

-I wrote 3 whole pages of an AU where Owen doesn't actually die/disintegrate in the nuclear plant and somehow they're able to get him out, so he's around for the 456. I only wrote the scene where he's in the warehouse with Gwen and they watch on the screen as Jack and Ianto are killed by the 456.

-I have about a page of writing where the whole of Torchwood (except Jack) have weird dreams and wake up with bruises on their bellies and then everyone in the world breaks into chaos, and I don't remember where I was going with it, but it looks cool.

And then a bunch of smaller fragments of ideas:

-Jack telling Owen "You did good" about something. I just love the fatherly relationship Jack has with Owen, how much Owen clearly loves and admires Jack and desperately wants his approval but also like a teenager struggles with authority shit.

-Ianto kills Gray in his cryo chamber and Jack doesn't react. I don't know where I was going with this originally but I like the idea of Ianto "finishing" the whole ordeal and taking the decision out of Jack's hands for once. And I want to explore Jack's internal reaction in opposition to his lack of outward reaction.

-"A cluster of trollies is in the middle of the rain-dark carpark, huddled together as if trying to stay warm." I'm not sure if this is a phrase I copied from somewhere as an idea for something, or if I came up with it, but I really like it and if it's not someone else's I want to use it. Alas, I can't find anything when I google it.

-"Are you a sun that you can command the stars to revolve around you? If not, you should re-attach yourself to the plow." Another line which I'm convinced must be from something and I copied it because it gave me an idea, but I can't find a source for it from googling. I think it's really cool though.

-A sequel to paperclipbitch's fic Far Off, Like A Dull Rumour Of Some Other War in which Ianto's journal is found by some future Torchwood employee.

-A sequel to paperclipbitch's If You Pass Go, Do Not Collect £200, where Ianto takes Owen's hand and puts it around his own throat in order to show that he trusts Owen and doesn't think he's the same person as he was in Victorian London.

-Jack returns to the rubble of the Hub after Ianto and Steven's deaths

-A person digging through the rubble of the Hub after the explosion in CoE finds the Ghost Machine and uses it. The fic would mostly be comprised of small flashbacks of the team in the Hub, little filler moments and character studies of different episode bits.

-A fic based on I Am Throwing My Arms Around Paris by Morrissey. Specifically the line "Only stone and steel accept my love", exploring Ianto's relationship with Jack (stone) and Lisa (steel).

-Something exploring Ianto's mental dialogue in Greeks Bearing Gifts ("like my stomach's full of rats")

-A filler for Journey's End where Jack tells Rose that he can't die and why

And then a bunch of single lines that are so vague I don't remember what they were meant to mean but they still sound interesting and maybe I can make something out of them:

-The king is stepping down

-soul-atoms (Lucretius)

-“Why don’t you open a window?” “They’re all open.”

-Fist fight—1/2 hour, punching each other and crying

-Woman with a triangle sticking out of her shoulder blade

-“No!” Short and sharp, like a gunshot.

-Everyone here knows that everyone here is thinking about somebody else

-“Doesn’t look like a brain at all”

A lot of these last ones make me go ????? because I have no idea what the source is for most of them and I don't know what I was thinking about why I wrote them down. But they sound cool!

lol for the pirate au, how did mc and malleus met? was malleus in disguise in pommefiore as a visitor and mc befriended them? did mc had a shawl that blew away in the wind and malleus caught it? i'm super curious

oh my god. i love you.

sorry-👉👈

but just so you know; i read your childhood friends ask about azul and y/n and -  bow-chicka-wow-wow 😳

(i’m debating if i should write smthn for it or just answer it with thoughts. 😪)

and tbh, i didn’t have much thoughts about malleus yet. as i’ve been mostly thinking about riddle,leona, and azul (mainly riddle)

but as of rn i’m fancying the idea of malleus and reader meeting in a market fair chase scene 🤔

not sure if this would be on some trading island, a neutral zone, or even a pirate friendly/only island. but whatever the case- you were running.

maybe it’s from the heartsbyual navy, or you managed to slip past jack and made a break for it when they stopped and failed to secure the prisoners (or maybe it was on purpose 😦)

note : this is probably before you and grim were close- grim being a huge asshole not even 20 minutes ago KCKAOFO)

and as jack and other crew mates were gaining on y/n, who was just plucking random accessories from different vendors and just throwing them on / trying to distract their pursuers

maybe malleus was undercover, shopping, or about to start his next raid when you ran passed him, bumping shoulders harshly. malleus, about to knock your head off before you meekly apologized, looking around frantically before sprinting off again, cloak / shawl following you as lowers his hand from his sword.

didn’t matter if it was a man woman or child; usually, he would’ve sliced through you without another breath. leering at your corpse as he moved on. but for some reason he didn’t… maybe it was the wind persuading him not to?

i mean- you weren’t kneeling- groveling at his feet for forgiveness. telling him that you’d give him your first born child or that you’ll trade your soul… unless.. you didn’t know who he was?

so wtf were you doing here? if someone like you who didn’t have any prior knowledge to pirates. why were you in a market specially for pirates?? then he heard the shouts. as riddle/jack were hot on your tail with their fellow crew mates not too far behind them.

obviously malleus’ interest was peaked. now what could navy men/ a savanaclaw pirate want to have with some john doe?

even stranger, their swords weren’t out- which means they probably weren’t going to kill you… key word probably.

SO MALLEUS TOOK A SHORT CUT TO WHERE HE SAW YOU HEADING- glaring at anyone who even crosses his path.

and right as he exited the alley, boom your hood/shawl comes loose and he can’t help the devious smirk that crosses his face as he disappears into the shadows again.

yes. y/n. crewel’s child. he’s seen your picture in the international news column a multitude of times.

a few for plain old boring news, one time for your engagement, your kidnapping, and then one calling your a criminal as it displayed your wanted picture. the inked words ‘pirate’ drawing his attention.

but no matter the situation. he couldn’t help even if he wanted to.

it was a pity, really. cause all you’d need to do is simply ask.

i still haven’t decided what his background is going to be like- wanting to keep him fae, but also have him as some kind of monster (same as lilia and sebek)

he will have draconian features, but i’m just thinking what kind they will be. 🤔🤔

#oh my god i literally love your asks #your brain is just- mwah. #so talented #takalzuoom interacts 🌊 #twst pirate au 🌊 #malleus x reader #malleus twst #twisted wonderland #twst

Kinda need more Jack Blaylock and Terry McCain headcons with beloved! How would they coax beloved into their own worlds ? Love your writing btw🖤

― Terry McCain wants you in his world because his world, namely, the world of someone employed in law enforcement, is the right place to be. Being by his side if not always the most stable due to the valid dangers of being a detective and a detective's significant other, is the morally upright spot to be seated at in life, so prudently, it goes without saying that if not by coaxing you, Terry will literally break into the bubble of your existence and drag you into his, because keeping you safe and sound while he's close by is still somehow more secure than you being all alone, without him. Sure, you might be stubborn, difficult or reluctant (and that doesn't deter him in the slightest; he might even like it) or hey, you could even be fully willing and cooperative, but see, he's the good guy here and you're good too. Good folks should stick together. His duty, the way he sees it, is literally to protect civilian peace and I'm afraid that counts too you. That counts you too and it counts you with extreme fervour --- his professional deformation bleeding into all he does, even courtship and love. Terry has a bit of a hotheaded hero complex to him too, undeniably, so he might feel he is doing right by you by ensuring you're by under his watchful eye. He brings up a very excellent argument that it is scary out there and that he can and will keep everything bad far, far away from you. Is he willing to utilize some manipulation to achieve this goal? Yes. Yes, he is. Every trick in the manual cleverly concealed as worry and a protective instinct. But, really, for all he's concerned, it is your fault for not listening when he has such nice intentions at heart. He's not a bad man, not by any means --- Terry McCain just doesn't like losing.

― Jack Blaylock, or rather Timothy Calloway, doesn't want beloved in his world because his world is downright deadly. See? Not even the name he goes by comes with any simplicity; false and double identities, jail time, murders for hire, contract killing, the underworld and all its many rules, shady deals, spying, executions, crime syndicates, international business organizations and high profile killings that make headlines --- these are all things Jack has dabbled into and still continues to dabble into, so he very much realizes you don't belong in his world, because a crucial part of his world includes carnage, instability, hiding, being on the run, living an existence hidden in plain sight and much, much worse and he can't, for as much as he wants to, offer you any semblance of what would be considered a normal life. Sure, he might fantasize and daydream about it. He might indulge himself in reveries. Enjoy what time he feels he has with you, but Jack is also unusually selfless considering that he's a hitman; he is very willing to let his beloved go for beloved's own safety. Run away with them, at best, sure --- but a rookie he is not. He gets that running away from what he does isn't exactly achievable or sustainable no matter how badly he wants it. A firm believer in reincarnation and the fact that souls fated for each other find and recognize each other in every life, he is comforted by the fact that you and him will meet again, under different and easier circumstances and while his world right now, in this life, isn't a world he can entirely share with you because it is dangerous, a better world is coming, Jack is convinced, and he will see you on the other side. He is likely to disappear and watch beloved from afar.

Hi i’m back!! Hope you’re doing well :D

Anyways, looking back to that time i asked you about the Jacques and Jack hc (which i still think about til today bc your interpretation of their relationship was so good), turns out that i like Jack even more now lmao

So, any general headcanons for Jack Hammer? Dunno if you’d consider him a villain or not (bc i do), so if you don’t have any hcs for him then you can do general hcs for Jacques instead, i’d be happy with either of them!

Ty again and have a nice day!!

(Btw sorry for the kinda long ask lol i didn’t expect it to be this long shsjsksk, also please take your time with the answers, i can wait :)) )

Hi!! I'm really glad you liked my headcanons, and thank you again for asking! <3 I love thinking about and developing these characters c:

I'll guess I'll start out by saying that-

For a good while now, I've headcanoned that Juan has looked up to Jack Hammer since childhood (courtesy of @zarla-s and @bardic-feline)

In my own HC, Juan's parents took him to a convention when he was a kid, and since Jack starred in The Singing Samurai, his parents took him to a meet and greet. Juan didn't know the guy or that movie at the time and wasn't super interested, but they talked briefly and Jack said some encouraging things to Juan (who was primarily interested in a music career), and Juan was like !!!! and watched the movies he was in later and looked up to him ever since.

One of the big reasons he looked up to him is because of similar circumstances. Like Juan, Jack didn't grow up wealthy. Didn't grow up with one foot already in the door of the industry. He just had a dream and worked hard for it until he got his big break- which was really encouraging to little kid Juan.

‎

Jack always thought of himself as a good guy. He'd treat people with respect (when he thought they deserved it), was kind to children, friendly with most people. Part of his reputation was earned by being a decent guy. He'd even consider it part of his career to take the extra mile (or half-mile) for those he networks with.

So when the accident happened, it hit him. Hard.

Dee was wrong- it wasn't on purpose. Sure, Manuel kept acting like Jack wasn't working hard enough on their fight scene- wasn't making it realistic enough, wasn't putting enough energy into the action, etc. And Jack, being a more experienced actor (in his opinion) and a more popular and successful one, felt irritated and spoken down to. So, yes, he made it a point to shove much harder. But he never meant to kill him. Didn't mean to even seriously injure him. It was an accident. A mistake.

He feels so numb and guilty that for a while, he just takes the punishment from Dee. Maybe he was never a good person, and he deserves what he's getting. All these low-paying villain roles he's been having to get into the mindsets of... maybe it's a good role for him. He's awful, terrible.

But after a while, that guilty mindset shifts slightly. And he feels a growing anger towards Dee. It was an accident, one that was traumatizing to him and he feels guilty about. He doesn't deserve to be treated like this. How dare she?

There have even been a few times that she's hinted that she may use her mafia connections to go after his loved ones. (Although she never did, the message was intentional. She wanted him to feel that fear, that pain. To have the threat of a beloved person ripped from him in turn.)

After a while, he starts to consider ending things by killing her, too. He's a monster (or so he's come to internalize), so what's one more dead body at his feet? But murder isn't exactly something he's ever entertained before. Didn't grow up thinking he'd have someone's blood on his hands. So he creates good excuses for himself as to why he should have it done.

She's part of the mafia, so perhaps killing her would save many others. She's hinted at threats towards his family and friends, so perhaps it's necessary.

But really, subconsciously his main reason is his anger and bitterness about how she's been treating him.

As for Will Powers... he doesn't hate him enough to actively want to ruin his life. He doesn't like the guy, though. Everything about Will always annoyed Jack. (Subconsciously, he reminds him of himself in some ways, and it's a painful reminder of all the promise he had when he was younger.)

But the blame has to be pinned on someone, and Will is the most convenient. The fact that he dislikes him so much and harbors so much bitterness towards him just makes it a little easier. If he doesn't pin the blame on him, then the mafia would likely get retribution by hurting Jack and those close to him.

‎

Needless to say, Juan was... shaken to hear the news. Especially since he'd only recently begun to break into the business, and had gotten to briefly meet Jack again at an event only months prior.

Just Some Headcanons }:] IDK I was in a bored mood.

Mostly made these with my AU with @graceandtheidiotsquad in mind

Nick noticed Ashley gets self-conscious about her mouth and wrist scars [because you know talking puppet got stitched to hand, figured she'd probably have a scar on her wrist too /lh] sometimes so he taught her how to cover them with makeup [Yes I'm headcanoning he's good at that. I mean, have you seen him?]. She feels comfortable enough to not wear the makeup now, although she sometimes still experiments for fun.

*self projects my hidden self esteem issues, fragile confidence and existential guilt over things I had no control over onto Nick*

You know that one Wanda Maximoff quote from WandaVision? 'Someone better be bleeding, broken or on fire.' Ashley energy sometimes ngl.

Bella is still incredibly dangerous when someone hurts her 'people' [So, the other Handeemen, or as a late addition, her s/o Michael.] She doesn't lose all control of herself but she gets close. Her and Nick are still [platonically] very close and most comfortable sharing a room.

Bella is also more open than she used to be, although she's still mostly more comfortable around 'Father', the other Handeemen and Michael. She also sings more. [maybe because Mortimer isn't around to accuse her of sounding like a dying animal anymore.]

Riley still does science experiments. However, instead of being 'traditionally' dangerous or anyone getting hurt, they turn into Jackass stunts. Heaven help us all if she ever meets Jack Bright.

Riley and Nick still bicker. A lot.

Nick can be kinda attention-seeking. Although I don't mean that in a bad way- More of 'Hey look what I did :] do you like it :]'. Typical victims are Owen, Ashley if he's busy, Bella and Daisy.

Tbh they all have ✨mental and emotional scarring✨ but who doesn't by now- Their responses to it are different. Nick accidentally dumps on anyone who is even the slightest bit nice to him [this is practically canon], it's almost impossible to get Riley to talk about it unless she's already on the verge of a breakdown, and Bella goes quiet again if she's asked about everything that happened back at the studio.

Riley runs off coffee and spite. She pulled two all-nighters in a row once before passing out in her makeshift 'lab'. Straight-up faceplanted onto a desk. [More self projection]

Tbh I feel like despite hating each other in canon letting Scout loose in Riley's lab would cause them BOTH to create chaos.

the first time Riley and Bella had that time of month was...certainly interesting. [They knew about it from vague interactions with human women but actually having them now was something else]

Riley still has anger issues. She once hit Handiunit [Yes, the Sister Location AI] with a wrench. ["Welcome, Eggs Benedict." "*Deep Inhale* Everyone stand back, I'm going to kill it."

Ashley is the only one of these four in particular who can cook. Nick usually ends up creating some horrible concoction B Dylan Hollis style and setting the kitchen on fire, Riley accidentally causes things to explode, and Bella just isn't good at it.

Ashley will call Owen out if she thinks he's internalizing again. She'll try to help, of course, but she can't help a little snark. "Remember what happened last time you internalized all your trauma and shut other people out?"
