is it ever explained why the characters in mdzs get their courtesy names so early (aren’t they like, 16 during the Cloud Recesses arc and therefore not considered adults properly yet?) did i just miss something?

Uhh for the prompt meme, 3 & 13 gives me Anakin and the Jedi Babies vibes, so Jango or Jaster & Anakin or Soka or Ben maybe?
390 Prompts!!!! 3. “Am I supposed to be scared of you?” 13. “BOOM! That oughta show you not to mess with me!”
IDK if I’ll get the actual line in but I’ve been meaning to write a bit about Jango and Sokanth, at minimum. Jango is just barely fifteen, Soka is two. She has very vague memories of her teen self.
EDIT: I GOT THE LINE IN
Objectively, Jango’s main connection to Anakin Skywalker should have been professional.
It wasn’t.
Jango hadn’t been one of the soldiers to bring in the little family. He’d heard about it after they’d already been taken to medical, arrived just in time to see them muttering about how fancy the prosthetic arm was as they removed it--frostbite risk, they said--and stripping the Jedi of his sodden robes. The man was only a few years older than Jango, and covered in battle scars. Attractive, maybe, but Jango wouldn’t be able to even think of that until he wasn’t staring at blue lips on a half-dead face.
“How did he know we were here?” he asks his father, stepping up beside the man at the overlarge window of the ‘secure’ medical room, and receiving half a glance in response.
“He didn’t,” Jaster says, looking supremely unhappy with the entire situation. “Had no idea who I was, when he saw me.”
“He talked to you?”
“For about five seconds before he passed out.” Jaster smiles, thin and grim. “We found an Ident card. It’s got a name, a few details that don’t make sense... we think it might have been prepared for a long-term mission in system with a non-standard calendar; the dates are in the future if we assume it’s Republic.”
“Weird,” Jango mutters. “He doesn’t look much like a Jedi.”
“Adi’ka, you’ve never met a Jedi,” Jaster scoffs, cuffing him on the shoulder.
“Jedi don’t wear black leather,” Jango argues, glancing at the nearest pile of cloth.
Jaster rolls his eyes. “He had four lightsabers on him, if that’s what you’re looking to ask.”
“Haran.” Jango whistles lowly, impressed despite himself. “What’d he need that many for?”
“The brown robes were too short for him,” Jaster says, voice not quite loud enough to carry. “And the other set were fit for a female youngling, even shorter.”
He hadn’t been alone.
And now he was.
“Bodies?” Jango asks.
“None dead,” Jaster says. “And the living are... far too young to match up.”
He gestures, and Jango belatedly sees the tiny, tiny things in cribs to the side.
Jango swears, quiet and angry. He’d heard there were children, but he hadn’t expected anyone quite that small.
Jaster takes the cursing in stride. “They’re estimating the human at six months. Togruta’s maybe two years. Jedi was damn near dead when they found him, but the kids seem fine. Medics are guessing it’s something to do with the Force, because neither of them were even that cold.”
“Any idea how he knows them?”
“Nothing yet, just that he cares about them like they’re his own,” Jaster says. “Scouting party claimed he said they were family. Even used Mando’a, called them aliit. We’re going to keep them together until we know more. No use accidentally enraging a Jedi by separating him from family, if that’s what they are. The Togruta seems to know him, at least.”
“I thought Jedi weren’t supposed to have families.”
“You also thought Jedi weren’t supposed to wear black leather.”
Jango huffs and turns away from his father, focusing in on how the medics are starting to pack in blankets on the man’s chest while they get to work on the thigh wound. It looks already cauterized, maybe a blaster, but that can still get infected damned easily. Jango’s seen it happen before.
“Can the togruta talk yet?”
“Only enough to ask for her... carer?” Jaster hazards. “She refers to him as ‘Skyguy’ and it’s been pretty much the only word she’s said that isn’t gibberish.”
Jango almost asks if they’re sure it’s not just Togruti.
Even as he watches the area below, the toddler starts crying. A few of the medics dart glances over, but they're busy with the adult. The crying starts increasing in pitch, heading to dangerous territory, and a number of people abruptly remember that a Togruta's cry is much more likely to destroy eardrums than a human child's.
Jango hesitates, but turns from his father and heads for the door. Nobody comments.
Jango slips into the room as quietly as a teenager in most of a beskar kit can, and goes over to the cribs that have been hastily set up. The human infant is quiet, blinking sleepily and furrowing their little brow, but the toddler has gotten to her feet, clinging to the bars and screaming her little head off. He stops in front of her and... tries to figure out what to do.
"Weks?"
He has no idea if that's a word. She's stopped screaming at least, is just rubbing her eyes free of tears and peering up at him. She hiccups.
"Hi," he says, unsure of what else to do.
"No weks," she seemingly decides, and her lip trembles. Kriff. "Obi-obi?"
"I don't know what you're saying," he tells her, but offers a hand that she immediately grabs for. "Do you know Basic?"
"Ya!" she cheers, and then starts trying to climb out of the crib. Jango panics and picks her up, because he's pretty sure this might be a Jedi baby, and if it's a Jedi baby, then what if she can float? He can't deal with an upset, floating baby. Better he just pick her up.
"Hi," he repeats, still unsure of what to do with this small child. She frowns at him, deep in thought, and pats at his face like she's trying to figure it out. "What are you--"
"Shi-ny," she suddenly insists. "Like Tup."
He has no idea what she's trying to say. "Sure."
She frowns harder at him, and then leans forward and drops her head against his beskar, seemingly unaware of how uncomfortable it's going to be. "Shiny. Weks 'n' Cody 'n' Echo 'n' vod."
"You don't even know my name," Jango says, panicking a little. "You can't call me vod."
"Shhhh now," she says, patting blindly at his mouth. He tries to crane his head away. He mostly fails. "Sleepy."
"Wh--okay," he decides. Sure. If it keeps her quiet, sure. He goes to sit down, and she immediately turns and tries to grab for her... fellow child? He has no idea what they are to each other.
"No!"
"Okay, okay, we can stay with the other baby!" Jango assures her, trying to bounce her up and down like he's seen new parents do, looking frantically for a chair to pull over. "I'm going to get a chair and we'll come right back, okay?"
She looks up at him, tears gathering. "Pwomise?"
"Uh, yeah, I promise."
He lets her bury her face back against his chest, and quickly grabs the nearest chair and drags it over to the cribs. He ignores the medics for the most part, just focuses on holding the toddler that he has, mostly against his own will, become temporarily responsible for. "Do you have a name?"
She just whines and cuddles closer. He sighs.
"Well, I'm Jango. So, you don't have to call me that other stuff." He moves a hand to pull her away from where she's about to topple off his lap. She grabs for it and pulls it to her face, apparently forgetting that she'd just declared herself sleepy. She examines the glove in fascination. "Please definitely don't call me vod. You have people here, and I just met you. Wait for your, uh, Skyguy? Wait for your Skyguy to wake up."
She bites his fingers. He pulls his hand away, swearing under his breath and panicking just a little. "Don't put that in your mouth, do you have any idea where my gloves have been?"
She bares her teeth at him and growls. Given that her teeth are barely more than nubs, this doesn't do much. "Am I supposed to be scared of you?"
"Ya!"
"I am not."
She pouts and whines and throws herself back against the beskar, causing a thunking noise as her montral hits the plate. She does not seem perturbed by the collision, just twists somehow closer and sticks her thumb in her mouth.
That is... also probably covered in germs. He looks over at the crib, spots a pacifier, and awkwardly leans to grab it without dropping the toddler in his lap or standing up and making it harder for her to start falling asleep again. There's a little togruta on it, which he figures means it's not going to be a choking hazard for non-human teeth. "Here, chew this instead."
She makes a curious noise and lifts her head. She wrinkles her nose at the pacifier, and then looks up at him. "Jan-Jan, no."
"Wh--you know what, no, you're a kid, I can't get angry at you for getting my name wrong," he sighs. "Take the pacifier, it's cleaner than your hand."
"No!"
"Please?" He tries.
She glares at him a little harder and then huffs. "Kay. Cuz shiny."
He still has no idea what that means, but if it gets her to fall asleep with this thing in her mouth instead of her dubiously-clean hand, he's fine with it.
(When he learns what shiny means, he will be much less fine with it.)
(It'll be far too late by that point, of course.)

My thoughts on Seabound!!! 🌊🌊🌊 (1/4)
SPOILERS ALERT!!!
Finally Nya's season! Our queen, our water goddess, our amazing girl gets what she deserves! 😍😍😍
What I know about the season beforehand is that Nya's powers apparently are getting problematic for some reasons? Which is a pretty common topic in other shows but it's a first in Ninjago, usually the elemental powers don't have focus and I LOVE that we now get to see stuff like that 💕💕💕
I know there should be Wojira involved, trusting The Island to deliver that little foreshadowing at the end of the episode 🤷‍♀️ Also Maya is back... MAYA IS FINALLY BACK AFTER SEVEN SEASONS YES!!! 😭😭😭
I have nothing else to say, I have no idea what this will bring, hopefully something as good as Master of the Mountain! 🖤
Alright, here we go!
GENERAL THOUGHTS
Warning reader, I might be fangirling to an extreme because I love mah girl Nya and I've been wanting Kai and Nya's parents to be back ever since Hands of Time ended. So yeah... screaming alert 😅
At this point I don't doubt that the intro is great, we reached such a level of animation and we got The Fold 😍😍 Love the marine vibe and how it's similar to The Island, because it's a great intro 👌
NOW I like the writing! Maybe they rushed the dialogue's quality for The Island to get here? It's just fun and in character, maybe it's just me but I'm enjoying it a lot for now
How many episodes are in this? Wiki says ten, then I checked again and it's sixteen like with Master of Mountain... eh, it looks good so far so it's fine whatever happens 🤷‍♀️
A BIG SPLASH
Oohhh, new villain! One that uses... flames... huh, does she know there's literally a master of fire in the ninja team? Eh whatever she looks cute, give it up for Miss Demeanor!! 👏👏
Wait... OMG IS THAT ERIN MATTHEWS??? WE GOT MACY!! ❤❤❤
Whoa, we're finding out where did the order of the vengestone from season 13 come from?? YAS! CONTINUITY!
Yep, there it is, Nya lost control... her attacks look so cool 😍
Lol that kid trying to be a nindroid and Zane being offended 😂😂 Sorry hun, you're that popular
Aaahhh, thank you Ninjago! You gave me back Nya the perfectionist 😂 I was worried her reaction to her powers wasn't going to be in character but it looks fair so far. Brings me back to Possession, my favorite season 💙💙💙
WE GOT BACK THE FACT THAT SHE CAN MAKE IT RAIN!!! YAS!!! I might be easy to please but I love these details 🤩
🤯🤯🤯 Okay they are definitely going somewhere this time and I LOVE IT, because wow. WOW. Are we actually addressing the forever questioned fact that wind and water weren't elements that Chen needed at the Tournament? Are we giving a reason for them to exist outside the main set of elements and the elemental masters?? Duuuude, season 15 don't let me stop you, keep going 😍
Mm, so water and wind are connected to Wojira (now I see the connection with the special). Are we setting the ground for a new master of wind? 😏😏 It's risky going for a Morro replacement but it's a super intriguing idea! Oooor Edgy Boy TM might come back? WHO KNOWS I'M CURIOUS ANYWAY 🤩
Love how it is universal knowledge that Nya is super indipendent 👌
YES YES FINALLY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MAYA!!! 😍😍😍 Is it too much hoping into a Ray cameo as well?? Pleaaaase? Also addressing Krux after so many seasons, this feels exciting!! 😊
This is what I'm talking about, training, fighting scenes, show me everything that water goddess can do! 🌊🌊🌊
Aaahhh, Nya flexing her mightiness through anger, just to remind us that she is the descendant of a water master as much as of a fire master 😅
YES YES YES YES IT'S HAPPENING FINALLY AFTER SEVEN SEASON THE FIRE WATER PARENTS ARE FINALLY BACK!!! 🔥🌊🔥🌊🔥🌊 I'M SO HAPPY I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG!!! 😭
RAY IS THERE TOO HECK YES!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 I shouldn't get this excited at only the first episode... WHO CARES RAY IS BAAAAACK!!! ❤❤❤
Omg Maya is definitely different from what I expected, turns out Kai's enthusiasm came from her 😂
Oh look at my flame babe 😍
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He's so happy his parents are here, he's a total family man ❤❤❤
Nya is maaaaad... 😅
THERE SHE IS
Tumblr media
WELCOME BACK JILLIAN I MISSED YOU 💚💚💚 Would it be too much having a "Your voice sounds familiar" moment with Maya and Lloyd? 😂
I'm so stoked for this! I want all the interactions I've missed for all of this time, asap!! HECK yes!! 😍😍😍😍
Oh, are we looking over the Miss Demeanor, vengestone situation? Mm... for now at least... WHO CARES FIRE WATER PARENTS!! 🔥🌊🔥🌊🔥🌊
THE CALL OF THE DEEP
Imma just slow clap for The Fold because this is another amazing intro, one of those things in this show that stays awesome no matter what happens 👍👍
So Maya gave Nya her discipline and perfectionism, but not the passion behind it 😂 I like this, it's not your conventional master of water, although I'd say it's different from the impression she gave me back in HoT. Maybe this is how she is when she's not trapped for fifty years? 😅😅
Is it too much asking for Kai and Ray bonding while the water women get the work done? 😅😅
Is this the sequel of Green Eggs and Ham?
Tumblr media
Green Pancakes and Ham? 😂
Oh it's seaweed nevermind... at breakfast? I'm all for sushi rolls but this is a little 😅 Although since Maya missed their childhood she probably never cooked meals for them... how did I get myself sad 😢
Whoa, Maya is a strict teacher! I got flashbacks from my first and only dance lesson, teachers nitpicking every single pose, uuurrrggg I feel ya waterlily 😡
Again, not a fan of Misako, but coming from her the whole speech about wanting to be there for her child makes a lot of sense
Yes. YES.
Tumblr media
YEEEEESSSS KAI AND RAY FAMILY BONDING THIS IS EVERYTHING I'VE EVER WANTED I'M GETTING ALL OF MY WISHES GRANTED FOR THIS ONE ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤
AND MY FLAME BABE IS SO GLAD HE GOT HIS PARENTS!!! 😭😭😭
Lol with Kai's new hair they look even more related 🤣
Ray also sounds so happy he gets to have his moment with his son 😢 I feel so blessed in this moment 👍
Also this scene makes a lot of sense. Nya grew up to be indipendent, one that succeed in most of stuff without problems, she built her life without any help and doesn't look for it. Kai grew up more insecure, he got some walls up but loves to take care of others and be taken care of. With a childhood lost he looks forward to a bit of softness ❤❤
Did Maya make real bacon for that sandwich? Do I smell some favoritism? 😅 Or maybe she really wants Nya to get onto the water mind setting idk 🤷‍♀️
Little tiny complain, why isn't Jay doing the fixing? Did he give up mechanics completely? It feels like we haven't seen him do tech stuff in so long, I miss techy boy in action 😞
And no, having to check on the bathroom doesn't count 😅
Aww robot date 💜🤍💜🤍
AAAHH ROBOT DISASTER 😱😱😱 ZANE DANG IT YOU WERE DOING SO GOOD NOT TRYING TO DIE IN THE LAST TWO SEASONS!!
Oh that was weird, weird magic purple wave thingie?
I DID NOT ASK FOR A SEASON WITH A BEST GIRL AT THE EXPENCE OF ANOTHER BEST GIRL PIX DON'T YOU DARE DO THIS TO ME 😱😱😱😱😱
"Well this is troubling." I love this samurai so freaking much 💜💜💜
GUYS THIS IS ONLY THE SECOND EPISODE, I'M A LITTLE SCARED NOW 😢
Okay Nya admitting that something's wrong looking so apologetic, girl you don't need to do that you already own my heart 😭
Alright, I'm guessing this is Wojira's power or something, and they will have to go down below and find out why... just throwing this in, maybe Maya did something? Because she wanted to finally be with her family and needed an excuse? JUST A THEORY WITH NO BASE I REALLY HOPE I'M WRONG!!!
Okay, two episodes and I'm BEYOND engaged, let's keep it up! 😍
UNSINKABLE
Getting an idea how this episode might end already 😂😂
Look, I love best girl Pixal, but I'm kinda sad that she seems to be the only one tinkering at this point. Like, I saw Nya fix little stuff, while Jay dropped engineering altogether, I miss my engineers team 😭
Aww, the guys didn't want to crush Pixal's dream of an unsinkable boat 💜 But honestly yeah, I agree with Cole, this might end badly 😅😅
Thank goodness
Tumblr media
I was worried they forgot about Jaya ❤💙❤💙 Jay is such a cutie omg
Nya: Mm, going on a potentially dangerous mission with unstable powers in the heart of my element or... mom's tofu pancakes... *yeets herself over the ship*
I'm making too many screenshots of the Smith family... WHO CARES THEY ARE BACK AND THEY ALL LOOK SO GOOD!!! 😍😍😍😍
Aww Ray wants to play with his son and his friends so CUTE ❤❤❤ Still can't believe they play Prime Empire after everything that went down 😂😂
Whoa whoa whoa, Kai and Cole are sitting this one out? That's actually interesting, I'm pretty sure I saw Cole's scuba suit in the sets though so I didn't expect it... lol it's actually kinda fair that the two that used to be afraid of water aren't going 😂😂
Bet Kai is happy to stay behind because he gets to spend time with his dad 😭
Also studying the fire elementals?? Uhm, yes please?? TELL ME EVERYTHING ABOUT MY FLAME BABE!!! 😍😍😍😍
I'm sure this one scene...
Tumblr media
... made so many lavashippers happy ❤🖤❤🖤 Cole you got Ray's blessing
Ninja team acting cool while Jay is being Jay, it's how it always goes, it's the entire show's description and I absolutely love it 😂 That wink though 💙
PIRATE ZANE IS BACK 😂😂😂 Haven't seen him since Possession, and this time he's not even malfunctioning 👌 Pixal is so done with his dorky boyfriend 😝
Of course Jay already has a ghost butler theory going on 😂
OF COURSE IT'S MAYA 😂😂
To be honest muffins would sold me too 😅 Not sure if she will make them out of tofu again though...
It's actually really interesting that we still haven't met the actual enemies, it does build up excitment! Very curious about these squid guys 👍
Well what do you know, the Unsinkable sank. Who would have thought?
Tumblr media
... yeah same, sorry Pix 😅
FIVE THOUSANDS FATHOMS DOWN
Aaaahhh, Nya fixing stuff! That's more like it!! 😍😍
Oww, that one speech, I've been waiting for so long for that! Maya just wants to catch up with her daughter and it's not her fault she was separated from her children, but Nya did everything on her own with Kai. Only fair she isn't seeking for her help right now... still sad 😢
Pff, with this ninja team there's not a moment of privacy 😂😂
Maya cleaning his future son-in-law's laundry what the HECK 😂😂😂 To be fair Jay has a bit of a history of having to change underwears during sea travels 😝
Zane was attached to a battery? When?... are you talking about that one scene in Prime Empire? Cause that's not really a flashback I wanna ha- whoops never mind got the flashback 😱
Maya looks more calm now, I think she's trying to act more reasonable and she's got good points 👍 I know people were a little weirded out by how more cheerful she looks in comparison to Hands of Time, but I think she gets the most serious and rational when time needs. That's actually fascinating of her 🤔
CALLING OUT AN ATTEMPTED MURDER
Tumblr media
THIS GIRL IS TOO GORGEOUS MY HEART CAN'T TAKE IT 🤩🤩🤩 Like my gosh that smirk, what the heck Pix 💜💜💜
Okay but Jay looking at Nya until the doors are completely closed?? CAN YOU FEEL MY JAYA HEART BEATING?? ❤💙❤💙
Whoa green gas I thought this was Nya's season 😂
MAYA WHY ARE YOU SAYING THIS STUFF YOU'RE SCARING ME 😱😱😱 I SWEAR LEGO IF YOU BROUGHT BACK WATER MOM JUST TO KILL HER OFF I'M GONNA SUE YOU 😭😭😭
I really REALLY like the atmosphere of the entrante of the temple! Super sealike and ancient! 🌊🌊🌊
Maya: off we go, into the spooky old temple! (Why does it feel like something Kai would say? 😂)
Oh gee, someone sleeping in the deep, who could that be? Coff Wojira coff
Whoa the jellyfishes look pretty lifelike!
HERE HE COMES
Tumblr media
WELCOME BACK GILES!!! ONCE AGAIN ON A LEGO SHOW I MISSED YOU SO MUCH YOU AND YOUR GODLIKE VOICE!!! 😍😍😍😍 Gosh he's a villain but he's got Clay's voice, how can I even try to hate him?? 😅
Alright, knocking down my water girls, that is pretty hateful material... BUT CLAAAYYY 💙💙💙
So they need the two amulets to wake up Wojira? Isn't one on the island? Fire dad and son coming to the rescue? WHO KNOWS BUT I'M ENJOYING THIS A LOT SO FAR KEEP GOING SEABOUND 😍😍😍

Magnum 3.15 - “Before the Fall”
1) Magnum being adorable and we getting some stuff from his past - love it! Bernardo seems like a great guy I can’t believe how much I want Magnum and Higgins going to his wedding next season. (It’s going on my season 4 Wishlist). 
Tumblr media
2) I guess I official completely hate Ethan now. Dude. Come on.
Side not on this, Perdie gave me lots of emotions with this scene and the whole “that’s not what I want!” I may now hate Ethan but I kinda just want him to say sorry and hug her and be all “I luv you and I’m not going to Africa” because crying Higgy just makes me so sad (but I also hate him now so I don’t want that but you know)!
Tumblr media
Just look at my poor baby all teary eyed!
Tumblr media
 Second side note: how they gonna work this into “.... Ethan asks Higgins to join him on an extended trip for Doctors Without Borders just as Magnum starts to open up to other possibilities.” Like that’s a quick turn around from “I want to leave to get some time away from you because I don’t trust you”. I’m just saying... 
3) third is a bit of a rant because Was the theme of this episode somehow “men do terrible things to women because they think it’s all about them and we’re supposed to feel sorry for them?“ 
Because we got a) girl hiking gets 'accidentally’ killed by her dad for investigating her best friend’s murder and not being willing to cover up the fact that b) her best friend was murdered by hiker girl’s brother for not returning his romantic feelings c) Juliet, after telling Ethan about her past gets ghosted for 24h then basically ‘I no longer trust you so I’m leaving’ by Ethan. 
Juliet’s case is obviously not as bad. But they’re all is shown as sympathetic, we’re meant to feel bad for them because they killed/hurt these women. Sad music plays and it’s almost like we’re supposed to “get it”. Feel bad for him. And we do. But he killed his own daughter when she was trying to find justice for her best friend. I feel sadder for her.
Tumblr media
It’s not cool to kill someone. Even if a woman rejects you, can’t keep a secret, kept too many… (or well, at least Ethan only stuck an emotional knife in Higgy’s heart. I mean I guess he’s allowed his feelings even if they’re kinda stupid.) And I know that wasn’t what they were saying but I still felt like everyone was so understanding to brother and the father.
At the same time I really ‘like’ that we have this double whammy of realistic ways/ reason women are killed by the men in their lives. Because fun fact for all my ladies out there if you’re going to get killed  64% out of 100% times it’s your husband, brother, father, boyfriend, date is going to be the killer. Good times. IDK if I’ve been on the tiktok ‘feminisms’ tag too long but this episode felt like it was kind of representative of “normal” guys killing women. Not serial killers, just a dad killing his own daughter on accident because he was trying to protect his son. 
4) I guess actual theme of the episode was more like “people will not act the way you expect them to because we got a lot of layers and in the end it’s the people we care about the most that hurt us but also help us grow and change” with TC asking Shammy to pilot for him and him freaking a bit over that and both Rick/TC being a little hurt but then understanding, Magnum pushing his uncle to tell him about his ‘true love’ and finding it was his mother and reacting to that and feeling betrayed but eventually figuring it out it’s OK and finally Juliet deciding to trust Ethan and that not really working out for her at all. Even the case, with it being the dead girl’s own brother and father fits in here.
5) The scene from the sneak peek turned out to maybe be my favorite of the episode
Tumblr media
Like come on he’s all “Magnum’s been telling me all about how great you are” and she’s like “don’t believe a word of it”
Tumblr media
I mean she’s super snarky, maybe a little bit more than how she’s been lately because she’s been a bit softer, (but I’m figuring know she’s a little extra prickly because of sharing secrets with Ethan the night before and him not taking it super well.) But I love them being snarky and bickering.
Tumblr media
Uncle Bernardo knows what’s up!
I liked the “No way, we can handle it, Thomas has been looking forward to your visit for weeks” moment too.
Tumblr media
She might be bantering and being her normal British Higgy self but she’s also really excited for Magnum to be getting to spend some time with family. Prepping the extra fancy room for him, coming to say hi when he first arrived, being all ‘no no you guys spend time we got this’ (because you know, gotta make sure to make a good impression on the future in-laws...) 
Part of me wishes we’d gotten a little bit more of a Higgy talks about what she’s feeling with TC or Magnum. But at the same time that’s not her. Well, maybe with Thomas she might have but IDK, maybe it was best to save that for 3.16 and the ‘break up/ doctors without borders’ situation we’re about to find ourselves in...
(And is it because it was two weeks of missing my babies but is Higgy looking extra fine? Like even crying I’m like man she’s so hot! Did they change he eyebrows? New foundation? Also is her hair a little longer? IDK, I guess she’s just hot and I forgot... 
(Speaking of hair, can we talk about the little side braid thing? Why do I love it so much?)
Tumblr media
Yeah, over all I liked this episode.
Despite not that much Miggy and crying Juliet at the end. I do really apricate all the heart-eyes from Magnum lately. 
Like we cannot go one scene or even a phone call without him just making me go ‘wow, if you looked up ‘guy in love’ in the dictionary, this is what you’d get’ because come on! Magnum and Higgy do feel a little bit more distant in 14+15 compared to 11-13. 
Now all we have is a week of anxiety until the season finale and then a whole lot of waiting! Is it weird I both want it to be next week right this second and for it to be like a month from now because 3.16 is the last episode until the fall!

Okay, so the brain’s a bit caught up in one of my other writing projects, but I refuse to abandon this entirely. So I’m gonna just power through this and then get back to Vibing™. 
Actually, it’s kinda cute that the hero Thirteen is introduced in chapter thirteen. I wonder if Hori did that on purpose or just managed it as a fun coincidence. 
[No. 13 - Rescue Training]
Tumblr media
So we start off on Wednesday morning (which would be April 12th/11th) at 7:35 AM. There’s a hostage situation by a villain who looks like a goddamned pokemon (my brain has made the ‘buff ditto’ comparison and now I am Shook) who is, according to Mt. Lady, a serial robber and murderer by the name of Habit Headgear. Kamui Woods, whose wood bindings have apparently been broken trying and failing to contain the guy, is tossed back on the ground as he notes the villain is strong and a quick strategist.
Seems like she and Kamui Woods have teamed up together! Or at least responded to the same villain attack again. Also, who’s this dude?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Random Mii Blaster escaped from Smash Ultimate and is now in BNHA, when will the madness end. 
Naturally, the hostages are not handling this situation super well, though the crowds watching don’t seem as worried? IDK hard to tell from far away. The buff ditto villain uses double team, no wait I mean agility, actually his high speed to show how outclasses the heroes on the scene are. 
As he announces his plans to escape, we see All Might rushing in loud enough for the stomps to be heard. He announces his arrival mere moments before he fucking snaps the villain’s neck with a handchop - or, well, not really, but damn that had to be a hard hit. All Might also managed to grab the family out of harm’s way in the process, announcing that he’s on his morning commute. 
The crowds cheer for All Might, while Mt. Lady and Kamui Woods are somewhat put out - they appreciate the help, but also worry All Might will put them out of business.
Tumblr media
(I guess this is where all those fics that do bring up how All Might cuts down the hero job market on his own pull from? Or just coincidence, who knows.)
The police thank All Might with salutes for the help, and All Might give his own quick responding salute before he declares he needs to head off so he won’t be late. Of course, that’s when he hears about a hit-and-run (that super hearing lol) and takes off, just so coincidentally in the direction of said trouble. Despite that fact that he needs to get to work. This man.
While he’s in the air, he considers how his speed has dropped, and that he’s been weakening since he passed on his power. Not to mention that after his rescue of Izuku and Katsuki from the sludge villain, his maximum time went down. Which is not at all referencing him about to overdo it again and lose more time, no siree.
We descend into a flashback to right where we left off after the battle trial, with All Might confronting Izuku about telling Katsuki about (some of) One For All. All Might is surprised and a bit nervous? Worried? Or that bead of sweat in the flashback might be from the strain of holding the form when he’s about to run out of time. 
In any case, Izuku in the past apologizes and says he hasn’t even told his mom, but that he had to tell Katsuki something… All Might determines this might be a consequence of not being explicit enough about keeping the secret, since Izuku isn’t the type to brag or boast. Also calls Izuku too sincere, hah, isn’t that the truth. All Might says it’s lucky Katsuki thought he was joking, so All Might can forgive the slip this time, but that Izuku cannot tell another soul. 
Tumblr media
(Stares at this.) (Looks at recent manga events.) Whelp.
Anyways, All Might catches the car of the hit and run guy (and man, that face the dude is making) while thinking about how, suitable successor or not, Izuku’s still just fifteen, so All Might had to make things clear. Of course, then All Might overhears about a hostage crisis the next town over, and, well.
We transition to right after lunch (12:50) with Aizawa announcing that that day’s hero training plans - something supervised by himself, All Might, and one other teacher. Izuku realizes it has to be a special class, while Sero raises his hand to ask what they’re doing. Aziawa’s reply?
Tumblr media
I swear this is exactly the same shit All Might did before the battle trial, gimme a second-
Tumblr media
Bahahahaha incredible. Though then again, I wonder if those are security cards keys to certain locations. It would make sense, though then I wonder how Katsuki and Izuku were able to get into Training Ground Beta without one… hrm…
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Anyways! Kaminari, Ashido, and Kirishima end up talking about it; Kaminari says it’ll be a rough day, with Ashido pumped as she agrees, and Kirishima also pumped as he says that it’s what being a hero is all about. Asui notes that she’ll be right as home in a flood. Aizawa silences them with a glare, saying he’s not done. He presses the button to unveil the costume lockers, telling the class that it’s their choice whether or not to wear their costumes, since some of them are ill-suited for this kind of activity.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh boy, will this put you on the path to the hero you’ll be come… but not for the reasons you think, buddy. The joke here is trauma.
It seems like most of the class does still choose to go in costume, barring Izuku - whose costume is still being repaired after the damage done to it in battle training. However, he still has his belt, gloves, knee pads, and mouth guard (with the mouth guard being new) on him. 
Tumblr media
Golly, I wonder why your costume needed to be replaced, Izuku.
Tumblr media
(thonk.)
Also Tenya jkfdkjdgfkj Oh My God You Dramatic Egg. He’s got a whistle and he’s directing the class to line up by ID number so they can fill the seats in an orderly fashion. 
Tumblr media
I’m love this boy so much. And it’s even funnier because the bus has an open layout, meaning it was pointless. Poor Tenya is in Despair, with Ashido teasing him for his efforts being wasted. 
Tumblr media
Savage. But yeah, looks like it’s Sato, Izuku, Asui, Kirishima, Tenya, Ashido, Aoyama, and Kaminari in the front seats. And Asui - sorry, Tsuyu - just outright says she says what’s on her mind, which startles Izuku since he didn’t expect her to talk to him I guess? She tells Izuku to call her Tsuyu, then turns to him and just says his quirk resembles All Might’s. 
Izuku, being the sincere boy he is, stutters and stumbles out something that almost looks like a denial, before Kirishima, bless his himbo soul, points out that All Might doesn’t get hurt by his own quirk, so they’re already different in that way. He then goes on to state that that kind of simple, strength enhancing quirk is awesome and that a lot of cool stuff can be done with it. 
Kirishima then goes on to show off his hardening, saying that it’s good for a fight, but otherwise boring. Midoriya ‘holy fuck I love quirks’ Izuku thinks otherwise, actually sparkling as he proclaims the quirk to be neat and more than enough for going pro. Kaminari notes that heroes also have to worry about popular appeal. Aoyama says his navel laser quirk is both strong and cool, and thus perfect for heroics. Ashido then kneecaps him by adding in that that’s as long as he doesn’t blow up his own stomach.
Tumblr media
Ashido’s Savagery: The Sequel.
In the next panel, we see Katsuki’s been paying attention to this convo, which has me wondering if this is when he was first starting to piece together OFA from Izuku’s mention of ‘getting the quirk from someone else’ and ‘like All Might’s’. However, when he is brought up in the conversation (alongside Shouto) as examples of ‘strong and cool quirks’, he feigns disinterest and looks away, trying to play cool.
(Also, he doesn’t seem to have his gauntlets on him here, though I know he’s brought one with him as seen a bit later. I wonder whether he chose to leave one of them behind or if he might have been restricted from bringing more than one by Aizawa… interesting either way.)
Tsuyu then brings up how Katsuki being so unhinged means he’ll never be popular. Katsuki, naturally, takes offence and slams his hands on the rail in front of him, demanding to know what she just said. Tsuyu sticks out her tongue as she points at him making her point. Poor Jirou, having to be seated next to someone so loud.
Tumblr media
And the moment literally the whole discord was waiting for, Kaminari’s brutal vocabulary takedown of Katsuki, something cut entirely from the anime. Friendly reminder that Kaminari is, in fact, a major lit nerd! He’s Not Dumb! Stop Making Him Dumb In Fics! He not only has the most verbose vocabulary in the class that isn’t from the rich kids (and in some ways is even more so), he also has Katsuki absolutely pegged despite only knowing him for a few days. He Earned His UA Spot.
While Katsuki snaps back at Kaminari, Izuku is hunched over in disbelief that Katsuki’s the one getting bullied for once, but he supposes that that’s UA for you…
To the side, Yaomomo declares the conversation vulgar, while Ochako is laughing and saying it’s fun. Offscreen, I’m assuming that it’s Kaminari mock-marvelling at how he didn’t think Katsuki’s mouth could get any fouler. 
The last panel on the page is Aizawa interrupting them to announce that they’ve arrived at the training grounds, and to look sharp. The whole class (I guess?) snaps to attention.
And that’s the halfway point, so I will leave the USJ proper for next time! This has been a Savage Mina and Smart Denki appreciation post, so appreciate them, or else.

13x02 the rising son
21 transgressions. enjoy.
#1: dean criticized sam for wanting to protect jack, and then devalued jack’s entire existence to an “it”.
sam: “look… losing mom and cas, that’s a lot to process, dean, especially on no sleep. and the kid...”
dean: “the “kid��? come on, man, you know how this plays out. kook, when we try to bend the rules, pretend that the bad guys aren’t so bad or that things will get fixed, that’s when people that we care about get hurt. and then we end up doing what we should’ve done in the first place, which is end the problem. so this time, let’s start with the obvious. soon as i find a way to take care of… it.”
time tag: 3:17
#2: after sam failed again to make dean see jack as a child, he tried to make dean see jack as an asset. dean refused to listen or consider any of sam’s insights, and admitted that he is giving up on family, which is something he claims he would never ever ever ever ever do. 
sam: “dean, “the problem” might be our only shot at saving mom.”
dean: “mom’s gone. there’s no fixing that.”
time tag: 3:44
#3: jack was happily watching scooby doo and bothering nobody, so of course dean walked over and scolded him, then turned the tv off. apparently watching tv is illegal now yall!! 
time tag: 9:03
#4: told jack to take the couch and threw a bible at him. luckily, sam isn’t a child murderer and made sure jack felt welcome. sam = good dad. but, dean winchester is already worse of a father than john was. you hate to see it. 
time tag: 9:11
#5: dean criticized jack for eating the exact same way he does. mocking a 3 day old child just for the sake of it, just to make himself feel better. he is pathetic. idk why jack and sam put up with him these next 3 seasons. 
dean: “you can slow down, you know. that’s stuff’s not gonna disappear.”
sam: “ever seen you eat, dean?”
time tag: 10:02
#6: yells at jack for copying his movements. he’s 3 days old...3 days old. 3. 
time tag: 11:35
#7: sam has been rooting for jack to not be evil. he is focusing on WHO jack is not what he is. dean, however, is counting on jack being evil so he can murder him. the confirmation bias is real here. any instance of jack showing humanity dean just tunes it out. this conversation should remind you of dean’s view of sam in s4/5
donatello: “yes, well, not so much anymore. but, uh…look at you. the waves of power… so intense.”
dean: “maybe less human than we thought.”
donatello: “fascinating. you know, i’ve met your father. your power’s nothing like his. not dark, not toxic.”
sam: “that so?”
dean: “not yet.”
time tag: whole time but 15:58
#8: he was a dick to the tattoo artist for no reason expect that he loves to take his anger out on others. 
time tag: 16:44
#9: when in doubt blame sam! when in doubt accuse sam! when in doubt manipulate sam! wooohooo!!!
sam: “so you heard donatello. no evil vibes from jack.”
dean: “proves nothing, except that you’re way too attached to this kid. you need to see this for what it is, okay?”
time tag: 16:54
#10: lessons from our sexist macho man icon:
jack: “it hurt.”
dean: “okay, see, sometimes, things hurt, so you just man up and deal with it.”
time tag: 17:21
#11: some more of dean refusing to listen to other’s correct observations of jack, because there is no changing his mind that jack is evil. he doesn’t need proof that jack is evil, because he doesn’t want it. he wants to murder jack regardless of who he is. dean only cares about WHAT jack is. sigh. 2x03 i miss you. 
time tag: 18:43
#12: dean claimed that since cas loved jack, jack is therefore responsible for his murder. even though it was literally lucifer that murdered cas, not jack. so, using dean’s logic: sam and john killed mary, sam killed jess, dean killed john, sam killed dean, sam and dean and bobby killed jo and ellen, dean killed sam, dean and sam killed cas multiple times, sam and dean killed kevin....etc etc. do you see how fucking stupid dean is being rn?
sam: “okay, look, yeah, jack is on lucifer’s family tree. but we don’t know if that dna is stronger than Kelly’s, or his connection with cas.”
dean: “oh, you mean the connection that got cas killed?”
sam: “i’m just saying, jack doesn’t have to be evil. we can teach him not to be.”
time tag: 18:53
#13: dean called jack ‘the devil’ which made jack so upset he ran away. this is a transgression obviously towards jack, but also towards sam. dean said that a 3 day old child (who literally hasn’t done anything wrong) is the devil. he said it in front of his brother who was tortured by the ACTUAL devil (and michael) for centuries. it’s insensitive and fucked up beyond belief for dean to use his brother’s abuser to try and manipulate him to conform to his beliefs on jack.
NOT TO MENTION that dean is the only member of team free will with absolutely no supernatural abilities at all. he does not understand jack. he does not understand lucifer. dean is the LAST person who should have a say in if jack is good or evil. 
time tag: 19:25
#14: this is a abuse apology. many victims of abuse are manipulated to apologize for them and sympathize with them. this is a prime example of that:
sam: “dean doesn’t hate you. it… look, sometimes the wires in dan’s head get crossed and...and he gets frustrated, and then he mixes frustration with anger, and...and fear.”
jack: “why would he be afraid?”
sam: “because dean feels like it’s his job to protect everyone.”
time tag: 20:45
#15: did the writers include this scene to emphasize that dean is john (but worse)....because that’s exactly what it did. 
bartender: “i hated my old man. I ran away myself. see, my mom would never stick up for me. but…you know kids. no matter what, they still want the old man’s approval. well, that’s how it was with me, just…”
dean: “you know, that’s, uh, that’s how it was with me, too.” 
i’m not sure what dean is referring to here because based on what the bartender is saying, sam would relate more to her story than dean but ok! sure! pity party time needs no logic
time tag: 22:17
#16: sam had to seperate jack and dean in order to protect jack. sam felt that jack was safer with a man that had no soul (donatello), over his own brother. and he was right!
time tag: 23:11
#17: dean made fun of sam and jack by calling jack sam’s “new pal” as a way to not only degrade jack, but also ridicule sam. 
time tag: 27:08
#18: dean is angry that sam isn’t blindly following along with his plans for jack’s death. and everything sam tried to say to get dean out of his child murdering mindset goes in one ear and out the other. 
sam: “point is…if you and i are gonna do this, keep jack on the right side of things, then...then we have to be on the same page.”
dean: “okay. well, that’s the problem, though, sam, ‘cause we’re not on the same page. like, at all.”
sam: “all right. you know what? i know what’s going on here.”
dean: “oh. okay. well, please, tell me, what’s going on here?”
sam: “you thinking mom is gone and cas is gone, and that jack can’t be saved. dean, after everything we’ve gone through… we just lost people we love, people who have been in our lives for a long time. everything’s upside-down. i get it. but we’ve been down before. i mean, rock bottom. and we find a way. We fix it because that’s what we do. and jack w-wants to do the right thing. jack’s scared to death of who he is, and he’s scared of you.” 
you know who else was scared of their father figure? dean. and sam. and now jack. dean stans can hate john all they want but the truth is dean is far worse. they both deserve a special place in hell together
time tag: 27:19
#19: the mental gymnastics it takes to come to this conclusion about jack. to ignore any and all proof that jack isn’t evil. it’s shocking how strongly dean holds onto hate and his need to kill. 
sam: “dean, wait a second. the kid came through for us today. jack saved us.” dean: “no. no, whatever that was, that was a reflex. it was a sneeze. maybe next time he sneezes, he kills us. goodnight.”
time tag: 39:32
#20: dean drove jack to self harm. dean then proceeded to angrily tell him off and call him names for doing so. 
dean: “okay. what the hell? give me that. you...don’t be an idiot. look, a, this is not gonna do anything to you, okay? and b, you… what the hell?”
time tag: 40:35
#21: this is psychological abuse. this is child abuse. this scene is as bad as the panic room of s4. disgusting. and some people actually ship this man with this child’s father (castiel). get help. 
dean: “you know, my brother thinks you can be saved.” jack: “you don’t believe that.” dean: “no, i don’t.”
jack: “so… if you’re right?”
dean: “if i’m right… and it comes to killing you… i’ll be the one to do it.”

Red Thing
Tumblr media
this is from a request by @cheesy2mac and it’s kinda trashy but i also kinda love it !! :)) anyway hope you enjoy and stuff idk have fun
pairing: larry stylinson
warnings: oblivious!lou, pining!haz, pizza, mentions of a red thing ;)
word count: 1,791
rating: let’s say PG-13
~~~~~
When Harry steps into his flat, grocery bags weighing down his arms, keys in one hand and mask in the other, one of the last things he expects to see is his roommate sitting on the floor whispering to a box of pizza.
Quarantine has been long, okay. Harry understands that. He was getting nauseatingly tired of his same four walls, honestly, and even today’s excursion to the grocer’s felt like a cross-country adventure, something new and exciting. But he’s also got a whole myriad of books, and he bought a new pack of journals to scribble lyrics and entries into, and even took up knitting for fun. He’s halfway through his first quilt. The point is that he’s got stuff to do. And, at the end of the day, Harry’s a homebody. He loves his home.
Louis, on the other hand.
Not to say that Louis didn’t love their flat, he did, and Harry knew that. But after a roughly a thousand FIFA matches, four full run-throughs of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and a toaster fire that burnt down his house in the Sims 4, he’s. Well. He’s losing it a little.
Hence the pizza, apparently.
Louis’ eyes are bright and focused and ringed with bruise-colored bags as he lifts a piece out of the cardboard box. He’s wearing Harry’s shirt, swallowing his thin shoulders, and his legs are crossed beneath him. “Om nom nom,” he whispers, almost fanatically, messy hair forming a spiky halo around his skull. “Delicious.”
For a moment, Harry stares.
“What the fuck are you doing?”
Louis barely starts, azure eyes flashing up to glance into Harry’s stunned face for half a moment before returning to his pizza, folding it in half and biting into the end. “I ordered pizza.” He says, with a full mouth that Harry shouldn’t find endearing.
That’s the real problem with quarantine. Being around Louis. No escape.
Harry snorted softly and nudged Louis’ foot as he passed. “Come help me put these away, will you?” He asks fondly, tossing his keys on the counter and setting the groceries on the floor. Their kitchen is small, commonplace for a flat in London, but it’s nice. Homey, even. Harry doesn’t know if that’s because of his mom-like wall hangings and punny dish towels, or Louis’ dishes in the sink and the crude drawing he scribbled on the fridge whiteboard. Maybe a bit of both.
Louis abandons the rest of the pizza on the floor of the front room but keeps the half-eaten one with him, pinned precariously between his teeth as he shuffles into the kitchen and heaves himself onto the counter beside where Harry is washing his hands.
“How’s the outside world?” Louis asks, reaching over to wrap one of Harry’s curls around his finger. Harry tries not to jerk away from him.
“Quiet.” Harry answered honestly. And then, “But crazy, too. No hand sanitizer again.”
Louis pouted exaggeratedly, then hopped off the counter. Harry’s shirt flies up around his waist, and Harry looks away before he can glimpse the black of Louis’ boxers, the curve of his soft thighs. “Sad. Did you get chips?”
“Yes, Louis, you told me eight times.” Harry sighs, only half-seriously, shaking his head a little.
Louis bounds over to press a kiss to Harry’s cheek. “You’re fantastic.”
Harry doesn’t answer. Just turns to the bags and starts unloading.
That’s the problem with quarantine. He’s falling in love with his roommate.
=====
The next day, he comes home to Louis singing songs with Harry’s knitting needles speared through his hair and a massive notepad balanced on his knees. The paper is defaced with thick Sharpie drawing of exed smiley faces and penises.
Harry doesn’t ask.
He doesn’t ask, but his heart stutters, and he shuts himself in his bedroom until the next morning.
=====
“Let’s get a cat.”
“We’re not getting a cat.”
“Please!”
“No, Louis,” Harry mutters, shaking his head a little and tapping his pen against his knee. “Haven’t you seen all those stories about people getting pets in quarantine because they’re lonely, only to realize they have no idea how to care for pets? The poor things end up in pounds, and then...” Harry’s eyes go a little misty against his own will. “Well, you know what happens then.”
Louis pokes Harry’s thigh with his toes. “Being stuck inside has made you morbid.”
“Being stuck inside has made you crazy.”
Louis leaps on him, his journal falls to the floor, and the cat conversation is forgotten until they’re far too tired and giggly to bring it up again.
=====
Screw falling. Harry’s in love with his roommate. Full, tacky, gross, fantastic love. The kind that makes his tummy knot and his cheeks flush.
And Louis’ oblivious.
=====
It all comes to a head one day, when Harry awakes to find Louis standing on the countertop in only his pants, reaching precariously for the chips on top of the cabinet and nearly tumbling to the floor in the process. His back is slim and gold and stretched and the curve of his delicate thighs are right there and when he stretches again, the bottom of his pants rides up and the pale curve of his arse is on display and.
And.
Fucking hell.
“Jesus fucking Christ.” Harry mutters sharply, too sharply, startling Louis. Harry darts across the kitchen to grab onto his calf when he starts to slip, steadying him, and Louis makes a sound like “oh.” It’s pretty.
“Good morning, Haz.” Louis greets cheerfully, one hand splayed across the top of the cabinet, chips within reach. “How’d you sleep?”
“Why the fuck are you on the counter? What are you doing?”
Louis frowns. “Not well, I see.” He mutters. And then, holding out a hand, “Help me down.”
Harry slaps his hand away, grabs him by the hips, and lifts him down.
It’s a mistake. That much Harry knows the second he’s got Louis’ skin under his palms, warm and smooth and rolling with delicate muscle, body so small between his hands. So moveable. Louis’ hands fist in the front of his shirt, tight and unstable, and when he looks up, his cerulean eyes are wide. Shocked.
His mouth parts. Harry wants to kiss him.
“Thanks.” Louis whispers. His tongue darts between his teeth, wetting his pinkish lower lip, quick and nervous. His lashes cast shadows over his sharp cheekbones. Kiss him. Kiss him. He says again, “Thanks.”
“Crush.” Harry blurts.
The whole world goes quiet.
Louis blinks. “What?”
Harry’s going to have to start looking for flat listings.
“Crush.” He says again, flushing rose, and then crimson. “I have a crush on you. A big one. And, somehow, you going absolutely bananas during this quarantine has only made it worse.” Harry pauses. “You really have gone crazy, by the way.”
“I have not.”
“You told me you were going to start writing poems about the effectiveness of capitalism vs. communism on Wednesday.”
“Because someone has to do it!”
“No one has to do it—”
“Harry.”
He likes the way Louis says his name. It’s so soft.
“I just like you.” Harry murmured. “It was driving me crazy keeping it to myself. I tell you everything, anyway, so. Yeah. I have a crush.”
He’s still holding Louis’ hips. His hands are cold when he lets go, colder than they’ve ever felt before, and they hang uselessly at his sides like he’s forgotten how to work them. Maybe he has. Maybe his hands were made for holding onto Louis.
Louis watches him blankly, lips parted, pale eyes wide and thick with confusion. He inhales, like he’s going to say something, but nothing comes. Then, he does it again.
Harry takes a step back as his heart crumples inside his chest, like old paper. A step back is all he can take.
Louis steps forward.
“I never...” he starts, ever-so-quietly, as his gaze rakes up and down Harry’s body like he’s seeing something he never thought to look for before. He crosses his arms over his bare stomach, and then drops them. “I never thought about you like that.” He says. And then, “Before.”
“Before when?”
“Right now.”
And suddenly, his gaze sharpens, sliding with unabashed intrigue over Harry’s body, his shocked face, a smug confidence curling the edges of his mouth. His eyes glitter. Assessing. Like... like he’s deciding if Harry is good enough. If he’s interested.
This Louis, Harry knows.
It feels like years of silence before Louis laughs, gently, just a delicate sound from the base of his throat, and crosses his arms. His biceps bulge. “I’d say you have to take me on a date, but restaurants aren’t open.” He murmured.
Somewhere in Harry’s frozen chest, a heart starts beating again. “So...” he began, veins sharp and vibrating.
The smirk widens. “So, it might be in your best interest to replicate one in this kitchen. Tonight. At seven. Wear the tie I like.”
“Wear the red thing I like.” Harry shoots back, a grin breaking so far across his face that his cheeks begin to ache.
A pause. Then, “Only if you’re lucky.”
Harry grins and turns towards his room, fully prepared to sift through all of his nicest clothes and refuse to decide until he inevitably rings Niall and gets no help from him, when Louis’ hand wraps around his wrist.
They’re kissing before Harry can register the fact that he’s stopped moving.
Harry’s thought a lot about kissing Louis, clearly, considering he’s half in love and Louis is the most beautiful creature to ever walk the earth. But his fantasies did nothing to compare to this. This is rapture. This is Elysium. This is, over and over and over, the greatest moment of his life to date. This.
Louis’ mouth is hot and soft and wet and his hand is tight around Harry’s wrist, spasming like he isn’t entirely sure Harry isn’t going to run away. As if he could. He smells like lemon and baby powder. The whole expanse of his torso presses against Harry’s chest when Harry threads an arm around his waist, yanking him ever closer, shuddering and shivering, heart beating out of his chest. The whole world is on fire and Louis is right there and Harry’s brain is silent. His tongue brushes Harry’s lips. Parts them. Harry grabs onto his hip and squeezes. This is definitely what his hands were made for.
Louis is panting when he pulls away, one hand lying flat over Harry’s heart, like he likes the way it pounds, the other still clasped around his wrist.
Harry’s in love with him. One hundred percent.
Louis reaches up to pat his flushed cheek and grins.
“I’ll wear the red thing.”
Harry drags him in again.

was gonna try and do multiple characters in one post but nope! i have too much to say. also the pictures are all different sizes so its rly hard to get the photoset to look appealing, so we’re starting w/ blue. and also a colored pic of what adam looks like when he’s not a deer. boy’s tryin not to stand out. which goes great up for him right up until it doesn’t. lmao. i’ll talk a bit about him too w/ stuff that didnt get mentioned in the starter post about him and gansey, but this is mostly gonna be about blue. 
SO. 
there’s this fey entity, right? i don’t have a name for them, but they’re not...they didnt START the fey/human conflict, but they are benefiting from it, politically speaking? and when maura was younger, despite other witches being like “girl dont choose sides, we’re witches, we guard boundaries but we don’t choose sides,” was hotheaded and brash and went “ok but fuck that though” and one thing led to another and she ended up getting a curse on her firstborn. Oops. that’s where the kissing curse comes from, here; i’ll get into that much later in a text post probably but gansey’s survivor’s guilt thing doesnt come from him actually dying in this au it’s from something Else, but blue will still kill him if she kisses him, just, for different reasons, it’s an actual curse this time and not something to do with the nature of who they both are. 
her father’s still a tree light, but like, she actually knows that from the outset? because. they live in cabeswater. the tree lights are all around and accept her as one of their own even if she can’t turn into a tree, and as a result of that, she’s got some cool perks. 
a) extremely resistant and/or outright immune to a Lot of fey bullshit 
b) still boosts psychic energies and magical powers like in canon
c) the absolute safest person to be traveling in cabeswater ever, because the forest itself loves her, and also if you mess with her within the borders of cabeswater a bunch of tree lights will physically manifest and be like “hey buddy wanna think twice about that”
but she can’t use magic herself, still, which actually works in the favor of herself and the coven--witchcraft is in a sort of weird spot, culturally, where it’s both feared and often hated, but also understood to at times be necessary, especially by rural peoples like those of the village. im taking a very discworld spin on the witchcraft, because i love discworld and you can’t stop me, and so the attitude is, like. its frightening ancient magic and the church hates it but when there’s an emergency and someone’s on the border between life and death, or something is trying to pass into this world from another, etc etc etc, then you gotta suck it up and call on a witch because they’re the only ones who can deal with those things. so. the coven is tolerated, both because it’s too big and powerful to actually fight but also because it’s extremely needed when you live in a village right next door to fey lands. you NEED someone watching the border. however that doesn’t mean anyone wants to be seen publicly talking to a witch--but blue’s not a witch. she’s a witch’s daughter, but she’s not a witch herself, which is a step removed enough that she can go into town and run errands and also people will maybe pull her discretely aside and tell her if something’s coming up that the coven should know about, and it all works very neatly with her acting as a sort of liaison. very important role she plays, which is why gansey tries talking to her after his initial attempt to speak with the coven directly fails. 
speaking of the coven itself: i’ve been calling it the fox way coven, even tho it probably wouldn’t be called that because there’s no road called fox way that the coven is built on, it’s a big magic house out in the fairy forest, BUT they do have a fox theme because i love foxes and this is a gift i have been given. if people have familiars in this coven, they’re foxes rather than cats, because as wonderful as cats are u cant have them and foxes in the same house that will go bad. but also there’s a v small number of them, like maybe three or four total out of the much higher number of women living there, who are fey blooded like adam, but who become foxes rather than adam’s deer. persephone is one of these! (it’s worth noting the reason why they become the same animal is because of a combination of coincidence, intentional theming, and mostly just because like, virtually all of the residents there aside from persephone are related to either maura or calla) 
anyway the point is, because of this, blue’d seen enough feyblood transformations that when, one day when she was 9 or 10, on a visit to town, she saw the most distressed, disoriented fawn wobbling around frantically and was able to very quickly recognize that that was, in fact, a person who had probably turned into a deer for the first time, and responded by very calmly informing him that she knew who could help and leading him home. this is where those last two pictures come from, and how adam’s apprenticeship started. 
like, there was a lot of arguing from the witches immediately--of course we’re going to teach him how to become human again but we aren’t really going to take him on in the coven are we? he’s a boy, he’s some local kid we know nothing about, what happened to keeping it in the family, he’s the wrong animal and we’ve got a whole thing going on--at which point persephone parted everyone like the red sea, took one look at adam, went “mine now” and despite a lot of grumbling that was the end of it. she took him on a bit of a tour of cabeswater a few days later, after he’d had time to think it over, and he felt so drawn to the forest that he agreed to the apprenticeship.
so he’s technically persephone’s apprentice but like in actual practice he’s being taught by the entire coven lmao, ANYWAY
adam being adam also had a backup plan for trying to get out of the village--even at ten he figured witchcraft might be a first way out of there, he was already thinking about it, but by thirteen when the good ole abuse started (and at which point the last whispers of dissent died out very quickly amongst the coven, nope, adam is one of us now, do you want us to very threateningly hang out in your front yard sometime because we can do that--what do you mean no, let us do this,) he was also like. i dont think this is a guarantee of getting out of here i need a second job. and the thing is, as was mentioned in the original post, the fey blood also means adam’s got issues with iron; it’ll poison him if he’s stabbed with it but it also reacts to his skin touching it like a hot stove. he’s fine if there’s a layer between his skin and the iron, but if he touches it directly, it’s Bad. so ofc this headstrong idiot takes an open spot a t a metalworker’s in the village because adam is the king of making bad decisions. the witches have a betting pool on how long it’ll take him to out himself. “its fine i’ll wear gloves,” he says. “it’s the perfect disguise no one will expect someone with fey connections to work near so much iron,” he says. “i have everything perfectly under control,” he says.
anyway he totally forgets to wear gloves before grabbing an iron tool while his dad and his boss are both in the store and in clear view of him and that’s why he was getting chased by hunters when gansey rescued him 
also he and blue tried dating when they were like 13-14 and it ended about as badly as in canon and they made up later and by the time the story starts they’ve settled into very much being weird siblings. adam starts hanging out with gansey initially to try and basically spy on him, figure out why he’s here, but ends up rly liking the guy and deciding his reasons are sincerely to try and help people, and he tells this to blue who starts immediately accusing him of having a crush on the lordling and being a class traitor, because she does NOT like gansey at this point and really the nobility all prefer wizards to witches which is a stupid idiot decision and frankly the fact that this lordling is apparently enamored by some random deer is hilarious to her, but even moreso is the fact that adam actually defends the lordling to her, like, “wow adam its hilarious that the lordling’s friend thinks that you have charmed the lordling because from my perspective it looks the other way around” “shut uuuup you’re not listening im serious, like, yeah ok he put his foot in his mouth really hard when he talked to you but im telling you i dont think the whole i-wanna-understand thing is an act” “idk if i can trust you through those rose tinted glasses buddy. tell me again about that time he called you princely?” “oh my god” 
this is turning into rambling but. thats the gist of the witches and blue esp thank u for coming if u made it this far here’s a bonus persephone fox

the second summer – in which it all begins
Mid-summer in Long Island is always hot, and it doesn’t make outside activities any better. Or more bearable. From your cabin, you stare out of a window at the almost noon sun and sigh—you are surely going to turn into burnt toast today.
“Going back to archery class today?”
You turn towards the voice. “Unfortunately.”
“Archery isn’t that bad,” Namjoon laughs.
“It is when you’re kind of bad at it,” you say, to which he doesn’t have a reply.
In your defense, you just picked up archery recently. It’s no longer something that’s a necessary skill to have—especially since you’re better at other things—so you didn’t bother taking the lessons with Chiron last year. Also, at the time, the flaming arrows terrified you anyway. However, now, you figured that you should try and master every skill offered here.
What you didn’t account for was having zero skill in the art of archery. And it’s frustrating, to say the least.
“I’m sure you’ll get better with time,” Namjoon finally says.
“I hope so.”
While Namjoon goes off to climb walls with satyrs, you go off to meet Chiron at the targets. When you arrive, there are already a few other campers armed with their bows. You settle beside Jung Hoseok, hoping that some of his natural skills in archery will rub off on you.
“Hey, y/n!” Hoseok’s enthusiastic as ever.
You offer him a half-smile. “Hey.”
“Excited?” he asks. “I think Chiron’s going to bust out the flaming arrows today.”
You gulp at the mention of fire. Even though you’re not scared of flaming arrows anymore—at least, the idea of them—you’re still a little nervous about actually having to hit the targets with one. “Um, cool?”
“It’s super easy, watch.”
As Chiron’s voice booms over everyone, you do as Hoseok says and watch as an arrow is doused in lighter fuel. Chiron fastens the arrow through his bow before he lights in on fire and hits a bullseye. Your mouth drops at how quick everything happens, shocked at how a flaming arrow seems much faster than a normal one.
The fire is quickly put out, probably to save the target from becoming fully disintegrated, and Chiron calls, “Okay, heroes, line-up behind one another.”
Since there are six targets, the group divides amongst each one. Hoseok immediately rushes into the front of the last target to be first, while you move to stand a few people behind him. You twist your head out of the line to watch as the son of Apollo confidently readies his bow and shoots his flaming arrow in a perfect bullseye. After a quick praise from Chiron, he moves off to the side so another camper can begin.
“Hoseok’s pretty good, huh?”
You jump at the sudden voice. Turning around, you spot Jeon Jeongguk inches away from you. “Oh my gods, what are you doing?”
“Here for archery practice, duh,” he says easily, but you don’t miss the mischievous glint in his eyes.
Last year, when you both arrived at camp for the first time, Jeongguk was relatively quiet and kept mostly to himself. Although, as time passed, he quickly became more outspoken and comfortable around everyone—a little too comfortable. The shyness was definitely a short-lived phase. You kind of miss it.
Now, he never shuts up and it’s starting to annoy you—especially when he pops up out of nowhere like this and messes with your focus. “You’re not in this class.”
“How would you know? Maybe I just got here late?”
You can’t help but roll your eyes. If there’s anything you’ve realized this summer, it’s that Jeongguk is always trying to pick a fight with you. Sometimes, you partake in his antics; however, right now, you’ve really got to focus. “Whatever, Jeon.”
Taking a step away from him, you realize that you’re already next up to shoot an arrow. The other campers are openly staring, which makes you nearly trip over your own feet.
“You’ve got this, y/n,” Chiron says, handing you an arrow.
Taking the arrow from him, you inhale deeply before dipping the tip in the fuel. Slipping the arrow in your bow, your nerves are in a bundle when Chiron lights it on fire and commands you to aim for the yellow center.
Instinct seems to take over as the nock passes through your fingertips. You watch in slow motion as your arrow propels through the air and lands in the red portion of the target. A shocked gasp leaves you lips at how close you got to the center; hitting red is better than what you did yesterday.
“Well done,” Chiron smiles, and you’re so glad he’s so patient with you.
“I’ll do better tomorrow,” you promise, and class is dismissed for the day.
Everyone begins to put their bows away; by the time you manage to do the same, Jeongguk is already long gone.
***
“I knew he wasn’t in archery with me.”
You were on your way to arts and crafts with Hephaestus’s cabin when Haru caught up to you. She asked you about your day in archery yesterday, and when you mentioned Jeongguk she was confused.
“Yeah, he’s in sword fighting with me,” she says.
“So, why was he by the range then?” you ask.
Haru frowns for a moment, before understanding fills her face. “Oh, that’s probably because we were scouting outside the area yesterday.”
“For what?”
“I guess our trainer wants us to get field experience? Outside of the arena. I think he decided on the field beside the archery range,” she explains, and you mutter an oh great. “Don’t worry though, we should be some distance away from you guys.”
Though you’re skeptical about that, you can’t really dwell too much about it because you’re already in front of the forge. You spend your hour in arts and crafts thinking about flaming arrows…and maybe Jeongguk too. But not in a way people might expect you to be thinking about him.
You wonder what goes on in that head of his—why he’s always popping up out of nowhere and causing your life to become just a tad unbalanced. Every time he’s around, you feel strange…like you can’t stand him at all. Jeongguk just makes you uncomfortable and you hate it.
By the time you are walking back to the archery range, he has gotten so deep underneath your skin that you swear you can hear his voice ringing in your ear.
“Why am I going crazy?” you mutter to no one but yourself, simultaneously shaking your head in the process. “What is wrong with—”
“Finally admitting that you’re crazy, miss goody-two-shoes? About time.”
Standing up straighter, you turn around and realize that you aren’t totally imagining things—the devil himself was actually behind you. You can’t help but narrow your eyes at him. “Why are you being so nosy, Jeon?”
“Anyone would’ve been able to hear that remark,” Jeongguk rolls his eyes, moving to walk ahead of you.
“Why did you lie yesterday and say that you were in archery?” you ask, but he doesn’t reply. Instead, he just continues on his merry way, past the targets and towards the adjacent field. You watch as he picks up the pace and begins to jog towards his instructor; you realize that you should probably do the same.
Today, Hoseok is, once again, first up to shoot an arrow. Chiron lets him shoot a few, and each one leaves your mouth hanging open. At this point, you think the son of Apollo is just showing off because every arrow that goes through his bow flawlessly hits a bullseye.
“How do you do that every time?” you ask him once the next person is up.
Hoseok just laughs. “It’s natural, I guess.”
“Wish that were me,” you muse.
“We all have different skill sets, y/n,” he attempts to console you. “I mean, you’re great with battle strategy—which is why Apollo always want to join Athena’s team.”
You conclude that he’s right—everyone is skilled in their own way. Besides, you can get better at archery with time anyway. You continue small talk with Hoseok until Chiron tells you that you’re next up. You drag yourself in front of the target and fasten the arrow through your bow. Staring at the target, you clear your mind of excess thoughts—you want to really focus on hitting the center. With a quick exhale, you propel the arrow through the air.
And it hits the center.
When you realize this, you begin jumping up and down. Chiron laughs through his congratulating remarks, before asking if you’d like another shot. “Of course, I want to do it again!”
Just as you begin to aim your bow and arrow, you hear a commotion to the left. Looking away from the target, you notice that things have gotten pretty hectic on the field where campers are practicing with their swords. Except, you realize that swords aren’t being used much—everyone has adapted to using their own special skills.
Demeter kids are sprouting things from the ground, Apollo kids are playing their lyres, and a certain son of Poseidon is blasting water cannons. For a moment, you wonder how this chaos even ensued; but that thought quickly fades when the commotion starts coming closer. Squash begins sprouting right by the range, but that’s not even the worse of it. A cannon of water comes out of nowhere and drenches your entire body, and you notice that everything seems to go silent after that.
Your camp shirt now hangs heavy on your body, and your sneakers feel disgustingly uncomfortable. Opening your eyes, you notice that everyone is staring at you with shock, but you can only see one person.
“Jeon Jeongguk!” You yell at the boy who only stands a few yards away from you. “You idiot!”
Even from this distance, you can see him struggle for words—a surprising feat since he always seems to have something smart to say. Taking a step closer to him, you aim your arrow for his head; it would be so easy to just knock him out. Jeongguk’s eyes fly wide at your stance; you wonder if he thinks you’re actually going to shoot.
Without even thinking twice, you let the arrow fly. But today seems to be Jeongguk’s lucky day because the arrow misses his head, landing in the tree right beside him. You notice him visibly exhale, but that relief quickly dissipates when his instructor practically pulls him by the ear and looks straight at you. “You, come with us.”
“B-But I didn’t do anything wrong!” You look to Chiron. “Jeongguk shot me with a water cannon—”
“I understand that you were only defending yourself, y/n, but you almost hit Jeongguk with an arrow. You’ll have to talk to Mr. D about this, I’m afraid.”
You can’t help but pout. Dionysus is always in a mood. But you obey anyway and make your way to the Big House. There, you find the god himself conjuring up a glass of wine from sunlight. You stare at the deep burgundy liquid before raising your eyes to the god. “I thought you were still stuck here for another few decades?”
Mr. D turns his gaze to you, lazily rolling his eyes. “Oh, my mistake—I seem to have forgotten.”
With the wave of his hand, the wine transforms into a can of Diet Coke. You would laugh at the displeased look on his face, but you know that you’re not Mr. D’s favorite camper right now. He takes a sip of the soda before turning to face you and Jeongguk.
“You and you heroes,” he sighs, “always causing trouble around here.”
“It was an accident, sir,” Jeongguk speaks up first, which is not surprising. He’s always trying to cover his own ass. “I didn’t mean to blast that canon of water towards the archery range. It was completely accidental. However, y/n aiming an arrow for my head is—”
You interrupt him, “Mr. D, how can a canon of water from yards away be an accident? I think it was completely on purpose.”
“The arrow was on purpose!” Jeongguk exclaims, turning towards you. “You were trying to kill me!”
Meeting his gaze with an eye roll, you say, “Oh, please, Jeon like I would ever—”
“Di immortales!” Mr. D suddenly yells. “Can you children shut up?”
Looking away from Jeongguk and towards your camp director, you notice the purple flames dancing in his eyes. An angry Dionysus always makes you tense. Often, you forget how much power this god actually has. He’s one of the twelve. You sink back and notice that Jeongguk does the same.
“Sorry, sir,” you both apologize quickly, and the purple flames lessen.
“I cannot stand mortals,” the god of wine clenches his teeth, “you both are insufferable. I’m starting to resent father for sending me here again!”
You don’t even know what to say. Mr. D sounds like a child right now.
“Ugh, just get out,” he continues, taking a sip of his Diet Coke, “you both are giving me a massive headache, and I’m in need of my daily nap.”
You blink; is Mr. D letting you both off the hook? No punishment? Before he can give you both one, you bid the god of wine goodbye and start walking out. Just as you’re about to push the doors open, Jeongguk’s voice stops you. “Just because Mr. D let us off the hook, doesn’t mean I’m going to forget that you nearly killed me today.”
Turning around, you look Jeongguk dead in the eye. “Are you trying to start something with me, Jeon? Because you shouldn’t start things you can’t finish.”
“Is that a threat?” he asks, a single brow raised.
“I guess you better watch your back,” you say and push the doors open before he can say anything else.

kind of a spoilers post for neko mix vol 13 idk
After working my ass of searching for the raws of part 3 of vol 13 I have finally found it, in the deep web  piccoma
I’m proud to say that I didn’t understand shit because they were all in moon runes, but I’ve managed to understand some part thanks to google translate my knowledge of the world and languages
Just like usual, complain about being spoiled and I will smear peanut butter all over your bathtub
.
.
.
.
Tumblr media
Pai’yan was seen grieving over his (fake) son’s death, and the others encouraged? him to be strong through this then 5 seconds later they encountered the mud soldiers (like damn let them rest they just got shrunk bro)
Tumblr media
Remember this girl? The adoptive daughter of the dummy-making-country’s king? Yeah her name is Kasmin and she was a mouse that looked like a child (bam bet you didn’t expect her to be the bad guy). She’s the Unhappy Mouse, she is a servant of the Hex Mouse and she controls the mud soldiers by shaking her drum thingy 
Tumblr media
I don’t know what Pa’san said here but apparently it was powerful enough to scare Kasmin off lmao
Tumblr media
The professor and Jose arrived at Pai’yan’s place and some dudes created a barrier so that the mud soldiers couldn’t attack them
Oh yeah and remember when the Thunder Mouse in vol 11 turned into a lighting bolt thingy? Yeah Jose used it to destroy the mud soldiers from inside the barrier
Tumblr media
Kasmin was controlling the soldiers from above so she was also a victim of the Thunder Mouse’s power. Pa’san, who was fighting the soldiers outside saw her falling so he went over and shielded her with his great shield (see this is why Pa’san is better than Pai’yan and if you disagree with me then you are wrong)
After using the Thunder Mouse’s power, it kinda died? and bid farewell to Jose one last time
Tumblr media
Pa’san’s all numb from shielding Kasmin, poor him
And Kasmin’s unconscious so the mud soldiers are dead too I think
Tumblr media
I don’t understand this part either but I think it’s about a conspiracy theory relating to the Hex Mouse who is actually a fusion of 3 mice and a kimono made from heartbroken women’s tears (but you already know that)
So maybe doing something to the kimono might defeat the Hex Mouse?
Tumblr media
Remember this toy car that “Rio” owned? Yeah it’s actually plot relevant 
Those who were shrunk by the candy (Toraji, Pai’yan, Pam’dom, Hacchi, Shalulu and the mixes that were captured my the old lady) went into the car and flew with it to do stuffs to the Hex Mouse who was literally hanging from the sky.
Tumblr media
This is where things get a little weird? The smol gang started tearing apart Hex Mouse’s kimono by making marks on it and tear it with their claws and hands
Tumblr media
I’m confused as to why the Hex Mouse was just letting them destroy her kimono? Were they so tiny that she didn’t notice them literally tearing her precious clothing apart? Sounds kinda dumb tbh
Tumblr media
I still don’t know what they are talking about here but it has something to do with Kasmin being the Unhappy Mouse and Pa’san probably adopting her
Tumblr media
Then the Hex Mouse fucking died and turned into a key
That was quick
Why tho? Her coworkers didn’t die this quick? The Demon Mouse was stabbed by Pam’dom, cut into pieces by Papa John then got killed by his own son, the Death Mouse was damaged by Pal’deen’s coins then got murdered by the demon siblings, how come she got the easy way out? I call bullshit
Tumblr media
And then everyone lived happily ever after (as long as Pai’yan doesn’t do stoopid things again smh)

this isnt the first time something like this happens... touching on some personal stuff to vent about here. boi this turned out longer than i expected. caution: mentions of familiar death, cancer, illnesses, dementia, and abuse. there might be one or two things i missed, but yeah... a lot has been going on lately. im doing okay-ish, despite these struggling times, but whats really been going on is all under the cut.
ive been in a situation before, when my father was sick, that his family took advantage of his fragile mind, and took everything away from him, me, and my sister. i still cant forgive them for this, but i cant blame the kids for being put up with them either. my cousins on that side of the family, two of them specifically, have been abused by their parents that was taking care of my dad, and i was the center of it all, at the age of 13-14. barely a teen, barely understanding anything that happened. since then, i still keep thinking back on it, and what i could try to understand from it. i hope the kids grew up well, tbh, despite our differences. anyway, this is sort of relevant with whats happening now with my uncle.
he got diagnosed with dementia, then with alzheimer’s, which makes things... difficult to deal with for him, and everyone around him. his son -- my cousin -- and my mom -- his sister -- are trying to take care of him the best they can, while i sit here and support them in my own way. tbh, i keep getting flashbacks to my dad when he was sick, so its... not great, to say the least. very, very taxing.
but pushing me and my stress aside, there has been on big, big, big issue here, and that is my aunt -- my mom and uncle’s sister -- that has been coming here to take whatever she can from my frail uncle. like, i get it, material things and money is important, but as a christian, isn’t this kinda... wrong? but i suppose thats subjective, who knows! but, what bothers me more, is that she dared to say that my cousin is not my uncles son. while they may not be related by blood, i personally loathed that, and nothing enraged me more, than saying that someone is not family, no matter what the situation is.
what my aunt is doing is incredibly wrong. she is trying to take advantage of a sick person, and causing havoc for some reason that im not entirely sure of! but if its anything like my father’s situation, and it certainly feels like it to me, i hope she doesnt get anything from this. esp not my uncle’s church.
but this is out of my power. i cant do anything to help anyone, because im inexperienced. but, i dont mind helping my mom out, since thats one of the reasons why i came here anyway, aside from spending time with my uncle. he is sort of like a father figure to me, tho, maybe its because i still miss my dad. idk.
anyway, to say the least, it seems that even a self-proclaimed religious person doesnt mind taking money and material things away from their frail, sick family member. those kinds of people are less than dirt -- than anything really -- and i hope she gets nothing from this. i only wish the best for her sons, but not her. esp since she dared to say the things she said.
woof. what a world. i really need a break from all this. its really taking a lot out of me. its... really heartbreaking to see my uncle become less like himself over time. and i know i look younger than i actually am, but it did kinda hurt when he thought i was a kid. its not just because of my self-esteem, but also because, he really is losing pieces of himself.
well, i can only leave it up to god.
to you all, take care, stay safe, and i wish the best for you.
thank you, and may we continue to take it easy one day at a time.

i've   noticed   smthing   w   dai   and   quirks   and   the   most   subtle,   most   horrifying   yet   still   wholesome   thing   that   came   from   her   time   at   anno corp   is   that   she   will   not   hesitate   to   defend   someone   who's   being   harassed   for   their   quirk   be   it   by   words   or   w   her   fists    ie.   her   putting   bakugou   onto   his   ass   the   first   time   she   met   him,   and   the   thing   me   and   flashy   are   plotting   w   daiten   defending   aoyama   from   mina   sometimes   and   helping   him   get   stronger

Part 3 of 3 for @greentrickster 's Lifeswap AU doodles! Featuring approximately 13 designs an explanations for most of them! This is gonna get long, so I hope this read more works.
1) Simple suit
You gotta start somewhere simple, and where better tht just a suit? I honestly don't know that much about suit design but I still tries based on a few references and some notes from vvvvvvyeah on the suit design throughout he series. Also how does one draw an attorney's badge because I have _no_ idea.
2) Closer to home
This is much closer to one of Nahyuta's concept designs (as in, it's nearly the same to he far left one on the third page of concepts on the wiki) because hey, it's easy to pull from what already exists to make something new. The main difference is the coat being longer and a lack of earrings (which I'm keeping consistent, IDK if he should have pierced ears)
3) Vest Boy
From that one weird design whee Nahyuta had an orange vest and and suit. He reminds me of Apollo. Also, hair's down! The pic between 1 and 2 is a rough reference for the length(ending like right around his hips). Also an excuse for posing because I know I need the practice.
4) Jacket and Clasp Under
Honestly my favorite design? Like I could probably change the shirt around some more to be more in line with American/Japanifornian fashion but stilllll
Maybe this is what he wears post-SoJ or something. I don't want to completely toss this design aside.
5) Casual Clothing
This is a two for one deal and the only reference was from a piece of clothing that I own that's like a hoodie sweater but extra dramatic in the back (more material). Still messing with hair styles. Let is basically just putting him u to stuff I own, right is a simple t-shirt over turtleneck. Maybe he's gonna import Plumed Punisher shirts.
6) Peak Lapel
Hey look, something I know the name of! It's very similar to design 1, with peak lapels and more braided hair. There's a few little pieces that still get out, but there's nothing deliberately in front. Probably a case of "I'm having a lot of feelings and anything loose will reveal that".
7) Concept Again
Again taken near directly from concept art. Probably gonna be used with Apollo more than Nahyuta, but I figured I could still doodle it real quick.
8) Apollo style
NOW he really looks like Apollo. Just in a vest and the undershirt with a tie o tie it all together. Probably not gonna go with it but at least now I kinda know how he'd look i his bro's clothes.
9) Causal, mk 2
Well, and some beads too. I don't know what the name of the type of shirt he's wearing(some sort of long sleeve sweater polo) but dang it he looks good in it. And the first appearance of the beads in this sheet, too. I think they might just be wrapped around his right arm under his sleeve most of the time so they're out of sight, but also it was another "pose practice" thing.
10) 6 Again?!
Yeah yeah, it's basically 6 again, but that's cause I figured that'd make sense for him to go around wearing in court. Also I made it bigger. Might just use hem as separate color testing spots to see what looks nice. Also he's not as stressed cause his hair's down.
11) Short Edition
Shortened up the coat a bit and went shoulder braid. Nothing super ridiculous here, honestly it looks pretty casual even though it's not.
12) Dhurke's Coat
Feels time.
He's got Dhurke's jacket a it feels weird to him, wearing it after all his time, but he's got it nonetheless. It's the right size for him, too, since he's the same height as his dad. Maybe this is another post-SoJ look.
13) I don't even know
He looks ten but he's not. He's completely off model but it's like a larger custom version of Dhurke's jacket. Also beads in the neck for once because that's an important part of his design.
And then off to the left we have some quality Trucy ad Nahyuta bonding time. Since Nahyuta doesn't have the perceive powers, he and Trucy and much more of an investgative tag team. She's his assistant that states as you and will sometimes speak up out of nowhere to call you out on lying to he court. They're such a cute tram though, especially because Nahyuta is like a foot taller than her, so sometimes it's easier to just carry her around.
Oh, and the badass boast pose cause I want him to have a moment where Ga'rab wants to know who this person thinks he is so she asks and he just [insert epic reveal here] at her ya feel
Uh... Last thing for now, I feel like tht even if Nahyuta can't channel spirits, he can sort of feel when they're around or (more relevantly) when someone's being channeled. It's a back if the mind sort of thing unless he's right on top of them which makes investigations... interesting, to say the least. How long it is before he picks up on the fact that Dhurke is being channeled, I dunno.
Don't expect anything new for a bit, I have lots of Apollos to make. I have no idea how they're gonna turn out.
And thank you to Greentrickster for continuing to give me information to work with for this lovely AU!

What I Was Going To Say
Maybe I shouldn’t be posting this 10 minutes before the gift exchange? Eh, this isn’t for my person anyway, they have a few things coming. 
Anyway, this was loosely based off of this post by @cyrusyeehaw
Hope you enjoy 😄
***
Cyrus finds a note with a lot of past-reflection in it. But sometimes a shaky past can lead to a great future.
Word Count: 2574
Cyrus got a letter in his locker on the last day of middle school. It could have been any letter from anyone. All it had as a reference from the outside was: “What I Was Going To Say”. Cyrus knew all too well about unsaid words. But still, he decided to tuck the note away until later, since his friends were supposed to arrive soon.
He waited.
And waited.
And waited.
Finally, Cyrus sighed and fished out the note. He looked it over once more before carefully unsealing it. He pulled out a plain white piece of paper, folded in half. This was on the page in bold, black letters:
Day 1: “You Can’t Get Your Own Muffin?”
The day we met might not have been a great one. It was during the time where I didn’t act the best, and my life was kind of falling downhill. To make it worse, I had problems with your best friend. Still, it’s one of the best days of my life. I helped you get a muffin and I defended you in front of the school.
What I Said: “You can’t get your own muffin?”
What I Was Going To Say: “I could get you a muffin.”
What I Said: “Hey! He’s with me!”
What I Was Going To Say: “Hey! I want this guy to be with me!”
So starts the one-sided conversation of all the words I was going to say, but never did.
Cyrus’s smile grew as he read the note. Of course, TJ would do something like this. He may look tough, but he’s a big softy. Cyrus was about to put the not back when he saw something on the opposite side.
If you want to continue this manuscript (manuscript? note? idk), then go on down to the setting of this note.
A scavenger hunt! Cyrus wasn’t surprised that TJ knew him so well, but it still gave him a warm feeling in his chest. Cyrus smiled at the thought of all the new notes, and carefully tucked away the paper. He looked around but decided his friends were somehow in on this and weren’t coming. Cyrus took a deep breath before heading off to the cafeteria.
***
Cyrus walked into the nearly empty cafeteria. Usually, Cyrus hated going on there alone, but there wasn’t the usual chaos that went on. He looked around, trying to find some clue at what he should be looking for. Eventually, he spotted a girl waving at him from near the muffin stand. Of course.
As he got closer, Cyrus saw that it was one of the girls from the basketball team. She smiled at him before handing him the note. She reminded him to go to the setting of the note next before heading off. After she left, Cyrus examines the note. It was identical to the one before it.
Cyrus opened the envelope and unfolded the note.
Day 2: “So, Do You Hang Out Here A Lot?”
God, that was definitely the best day of my life. Of course, I’d never tried talking to someone so as to not be scared of me, which resulted in that cringey pick-up line. But I’d never been with someone that I felt I could be myself with. Finally, someone wasn’t scared of or mad at me. Then Buffy showed and I tried to run. Even when she caught me, I probably would’ve bolted if it hadn’t been for your parting words.
What I Said: “You don’t know me. I got stuff.”
What I Was Going To Say: “You don’t know me. You wouldn’t like me if you did. But I want to get to know you.”
What I Said: “Thanks for reminding me about swinging. That helped.”
What I Was Going To Say: “Thanks for reminding me about swinging. You helped.”
Cyrus’s smile was soft and his heart was full. It was pounding actually. He and TJ have had some pretty emotional talks. But none of them even scraped the surface of these. Writing things down must be easier than speaking. These notes were not helping Cyrus’s huge crush on the boy.
Cyrus stood there for a while, pretty overcome with emotion. Finally, he decided he should head for the swing set, seeing as that was where the note was set.
***
There was a boy from the basketball team leaning up against the swings when Cyrus got there. The boy nodded at him before handing him the letter and hurrying off. How many people had TJ gotten to do this thing?
Cyrus quickly opened the letter to see the next message.
Day 3: “Hey, Underdog!”
You might not even remember this day, but it’s one of the biggest for me. It was the first time I had ever been invited somewhere without someone feeling obligated to do so. It was one of the biggest days for you and I learned later you were freaking out about it, but you still took the time to invite me. Even though I did nothing to deserve your trust, and my actions later weren’t exactly ones of a friend. It was also the first time I used your first, and my personal favorite, nickname.
What I Said: “I’ll be there.”
What I Was Going To Say: “I’ll always be there if it’s with you.”
Cyrus’s face heated up. He remembered the day vividly. Even as just a friend, Cyrus had wanted TJ with him when he turned 13. It was strange, but Cyrus already knew that TJ would be a major point in his development as a person. And man, had he been. Cyrus’s friends were the best and he wouldn’t trade them for anything, but TJ. He was TJ.
A few tears dropped into the note, but Cyrus quickly wiped them away. He folded the note back into the envelope and headed back toward the school. He hoped he wouldn’t have to walk too much more.
***
There was only one guy laying on a picnic table in front of the school when Cyrus arrived. He looked up when Cyrus arrived and handed him the note. Instead of leaving like the others, he just went back on his phone. Must not have a lot to do.
Cyrus went to a different table and sat down, mentally preparing himself for the next note.
Day 4: “Nothing Gets Passed You”
Definitely one of my worst days. Thought it would be my worst, honestly. Tween naivety, I guess. But it got better. Because you were there. It’s always better when you are there.
What I Said: “Maybe you shouldn’t be here at all.”
What I Was Going To Say: “I don’t want you to see me like this.”
What I Said: “She may have been right, but you’re the one who really helped me.”
What I Was Going To Say: “She may have been right, but you’re the one who really helped me. You always help me.”
Cyrus smiled as he tucked the note away, tears dripping down his face again. Only on the fourth note and already crying. Cyrus tried to hurriedly pull himself together before heading off to the gym.
***
Another boy was shooting layups in the gym while a boy Cyrus recognized as one of his locker neighbors watched on. They turned when they heard the sort open. The basketball player smiled and jogged over to Cyrus before handing him the letter. Cyrus thanked him, trying to stop himself from ripping open the letter. The guy nodded and went and sat down next to the other boy.
Cyrus opened the note with no hesitation, then.
Day 5: “Hey! Who’s Your Friend?”
Apologizing to a trash can. Now that was a first. But I didn’t even have a second thought about doing it. Because it was you. And I never knew I needed to have you with me at my work. The kids loved you. I mean, it’s almost impossible not to, so.
What I Said: “Listen, Underdog. If you can’t do a somersault, I can help you with that.”
What I Was Going To Say: “If you never need my help, I’m there. You’ve helped me more than I could’ve asked for, and I want to return the favor.”
Cyrus was pretty sure his smile was stuck. He headed off to The Spoon without a second thought.
***
As soon as he stepped into the building, Amber stepped in front of him, gave him the letter, and pointed to a booth with a waiting shake and basket of baby taters. Cyrus sat down and ate a few before pulling the note out.
Day 6: “Wanna Hang Out?”
Ok, so GIANT time skip, but even though I didn’t really say the things I wanted to, I didn’t regret the time where I was just your friend. I was nicer than ever (guess the reason for that) and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to spend my time with. So, I figured it was time for you to meet my friends. Which backfired horribly.
What I Said: “I talk about you.”
What I Was Going To Say: “I literally do not have the ability to stop talking about you.”
Cyrus laughed through his tears. He quickly finished his food and was about to walk back to the school when Amber stopped him and told him she would drive him around the rest of the way.
***
Cyrus hopped out as soon as they reached the school. Just inside the entrance of the school said Cyrus’s locker neighbor, still with the basketball boy. He handed Cyrus the letter. Cyrus was distracted by the letter, but not enough to miss the two boys walk away hand in hand. Huh.
Day 7: “That Swing Taken?”
God, so many wrong things were said that day. It’s really a miracle that it ended out okay. Maybe it was your influence. Let’s be honest, it definitely was. I was a mess. Still, pretty much am.
What I Said: “You can be a little annoying, you know that.”
What I Was Going To Say: “You can be annoying, but I wouldn’t stand it any other way.”
What I Said: “You know what else you are? The only person I can talk to like this.”
What I Was Going To Say: “The only person I want to talk to like this.”
Cyrus turned on his heel and jumped back into the waiting car.
***
Cyrus expected there’d be a different person, but the same guy from before was still there. He handed Cyrus another note before walking off again.
Day 8: “I’m Sorry. I’m So Sorry.”
What I Said: “I’m sorry.”
What I Was Going To Say: “I’m sorry, I’m so, so sorry. I was going to call I swear, I just, couldn’t. I messed up. I know and I never wanted to do this. I just didn’t know what to do. I should’ve called, I shouldn’t have done this I’m sorry. I wish I could explain, but I can’t. And I know you can’t forgive me, but I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry.”
But I couldn’t say all of that. She interrupted before I could. And I couldn’t put all the regret I felt into that one word. The one word you taught me how to use and it’s not good enough. It could never be good enough. For as long as I live, that word will never be good enough. Not for you. I’m more than sorry, Cyrus. I’ll always be more than sorry.
The tears were running faster now as he hopped back in the car and headed to the school.
***
Cyrus barely even registered who he was interacting with as he took another note and ripped it open.
Day 9: “I Didn’t Think You’d Want To Talk With Me Again.”
Even though we cleared things up I didn’t believe things could be the same. Then, there was that night at Andi’s. And it was like nothing had happened at all. Except it had and instead of a rift, it was a stronger tie to each other.
What I Said: “I’m glad we’re friends again.”
What I Was Going To Say: “I’m glad we’re friends again, but I don’t think we’re just friends anymore. Maybe not ever.”
What I Said: “See you later.”
What I Was Going To Say: “I never want to stop seeing you again.”
Cyrus breathes a shaky breath as the tears poured, unopposed. He climbed back in the car and tried to steady himself on the way to Cece’s, the only one of Andi’s houses TJ had been to.
***
Cyrus wasn’t surprised to see his friends open the door. He walked in and none of them said anything. They just pointed to the back of the house. The sun was almost set by know and Cyrus stepped out onto a dusk-lit patio. He closed the door behind him and breathed in deeply. Finally, he turned to where he knew TJ to be.
The boy sat staring at his hands. He was messing with his hands, something Cyrus knew he only did when he was really nervous. His hair was dusted in pinks and oranges as the light faded. Cyrus’s reclaimed breath caught as he looked upon the boy who had claimed more of his heart than anyone. God, he was such a teenager.
Cyrus slowly walked until he was standing in front of the blonde boy. TJ looked up and shot up out of his seat. He worried his lip between his teeth as he looked at Cyrus. Cyrus breathed deep, preparing to say something. All that came out was a sob. He fell into the other boy and buried his face into his shoulder as sobs racked his body. TJ steadily wrapped his arms around the smaller boy. This was not how Cyrus imagined this going, but he could admit it felt good when TJ held him.
Eventually, they ended up wrapped around each other as they sat on the bench. Cyrus’s cries slowly quieted, but he still didn’t remove his face from TJ’s shoulder. TJ seemed to get the hint and started talking.
“So, you’ve read a lot of things I haven’t said. A lot of things I’ve wanted to say. Things I was too scared to say”, TJ paused, his voice starting to crack from emotion. Cyrus felt him swallow before he continued. “But no notes now, ok?”
Cyrus realized he was looking for an answer and nodded. He sat up a little and looked at TJ’s worried, but determined, face.
“So, this is what I was going to say. After the basketball game with Buffy, after all the times we’ve hung out, during the last time we were here. I like you. More than a friend should. I’ve liked you for a long time. And that’s all I’ve wanted to tell you since forever. I like you, Cyrus Goodman. And I’m not sorry, so please don’t hate me.”
Cyrus felt like he was going to cry again, but he was able to force out, “I like you, too” before pulling the older boy toward him and kissing him. The two of them melted and the taste of their tears moved together. They broke Of with a laugh before TJ oiled Cyrus in again. Finally, TJ pulled Cyrus against him and sighed. They sat together like that for a while, relieved of all the words they were going to say.

Sorry for this venting, but I need some advice, and I invite anyone who wants to answer too! All help is welcome! So, I will try to SUPER summarazie this, otherwise it would be like 57 messages lol. When I was around 11, my parents started going to church. When I was 13 I got baptized... You know why? Because they couldn't stop pressuring me to do it, always telling me that I'm a sinner, and I will rot in hell 'cause I'm not a child from God, etc. They were driving me crazy! And I was TWELVE 1/4
Like, what did I know about religion and spritual things? Which SINS could I commited at 11, 12, 13???? I remember going to church and not getting anything they were talking about, and going home and having my parents treating me like the worst demon, so I have to give in and do what they wanted. Today I'm 26 and still going to church and pretendig being spiritual. (I have nothing against religion, or God. It just that I never had that 'spiritual fire' in my heart) 2/4
Like 15 years of my life doing something I don't care about, something I never chose. Because I know if back when I was 12 or today I say 'NO, I dont want this' my life will turn into living hell, a non stop torture from my parents, and unfortunately I have nowhere to go. 15 years that will never come back, everything I missed because of this. Plus it was a super strict church were everything is a sin, and full of manipulatives, hipocrytes and liars. Nothing helped at all... 3/4
Now I'm 26 and I dont have friends, anything. The only thing I have are my parents (I know they did all this cause church brainwashed them and they thought they were doing a good thing, but still...) I'm tired. Do I speak this out to my parents? Or I shut up and keep acting until I have enough money and disappear? (At this point I really dont know what reaction expect from them, but at the same time I dont know if I can keep going...It's been 15 years, I'm turning into the Joker lol) 4/5

Hey sorry for taking so long to answer! ❤️
And I’m sorry that you have to keep up this act and it’s kinda keeping you torn about what to do and I know when it comes to parents it’s a harder game to play trying to speak up and say no or just diverge on your own path.
I also come from a family who’s pretty religious I guess and we don’t really talk about it much and my mom and I don’t go to church anymore but my lack of that spiritual fire as you said is odd to them and I totally understand how you feel like faith is just not there for me and I can’t really say I believe like I just can’t idk.
And I’m sure being in that environment drains you and has put a lot of strain on you being taught all these things are sins and just not being supported or listened to and I’m sorry about that.
I know it might cause backlash but you deserve to speak your mind and shed anything from your life that doesn’t make you happy and that hurts you more than helps you and maybe talking to your parents about it would be good cause you’re an adult and you could say like ok I’m setting boundaries, this life has never felt right to me and I don’t wish to be involved in all this religious stuff anymore cause it seems like the more they forced and forced it on you the more it drove you away and I can see why
That’s certainly a scary thing to do but at the same time having to keep quiet and wait till you have enough money sounds like torture you know. You deserve to get out there and do things yoU want to do for yourself and now you can do those things even without money and if your parents object or don’t understand it’s not up to them anymore and they’re gonna have to learn to suck it up cause you’re an adult and are well within your rights do speak your mind and say no this really isn’t for me.
I hope that helps offer some comfort! You got this and you deserve to do the things you’ve missed out on or not even that just do things you actually want to do, make friends, take it step by step, things will come to you! 💕
