"Hey, um, is this Miranda?"
"It is. Who am I talking with?"
Oh thank god, he was worried he saved the wrong number for a moment there. Danny hit his wrist against the side of the pipe again, the motion doing nothing to break the dampener off. "Cool, um. God. I feel so awkward calling you. It's Danny- um Daniel Fenton? I'm part of the Launchpad Program going on this summer with Wayne Industries? The, um, the like twenty or so high school interns and whatever?"
"Daniel," There was the click of typing and then a hum of recognition from Miranda. "I do remember you, you were the kid that tripped in the lobby and got a bloody nose his first day. Is there something wrong?"
"I, ah, how do I say this without sounding stupid-"
"Daniel, I had an intern call me the other day because she accidentally ended up locked in a custodial closet alone. Nothing phases me."
"Oh, okay. Um, I kinda got kidnapped. Just a little bit." This time, when he tried to bash the dampener off, there was a crack from the bone, followed by blossoming pain when his powers couldn't flood in to heal it. "Also, I think I'm in shock."
"…Previous point withdrawn."

something about qbad mentioning how much horror he put red team thru every time purgatory gets brought up... something about how proud dapper was of him.
like this is just my late-night read but- it feels like guilt qbad is trying to twist into pride. he keeps needling away at it. “i killed them all, over and over and over again.” “they were hunted by a monster.”
it’s like- reassurance. like a nail he’s trying o beat into his head. he’s had SO much trouble with legitimately hurting his friends, despite making that vow all the way back when the eggs first went missing, despite all the tree talk and the promises to save the kids no matter what. He never faltered with elq, and that protected them. He keeps faltering now. Sometimes he doesnt remember the code, or cucurucho, or skeppy. But that doesnt matter, right? Because he’ll protect the eggs. He’ll be the monster. he is the monster. he can and he will protect them even as his seams start ripping and he keeps breaking further and further apart. even at his worst, he’ll do whatever he needs to protect the eggs.
he’ll be the monster. wont he?
#qsmp#he loves his friends and he wants to hurt them#he loves his friends and he doesnt want to hurt them#qsmp badboyhalo#ita like. He was torturing himself with the soul vultures because he kidnapped ron and threw down some scary magma mobs#and then forever changwd rhe whole fuckin narrative with that appreciation room and bad remembered the joy of community#and then cellbit. Where bad was like ‘i see him destroying himself to get the eggs back and i know where that road goes’#’his loved ones dont want that to happen to him. i dont want that to happen to him’#and then purgatory gave him the first actal legitimate lead for finding their kids and he just had to get worse#and so he fucking swandived into self destructive violence (and the cc was purposefully playing qbad more recklessly violent)#(bbgirl couldve been lured into a trap so so easily)#ive lost my point somewhere now im just rotating qbbh in my brain and all the parallels#ah yes. But now theyre out of purgatory. And he refuses to regret what he did because he *had* to do what he could to save dapper#and the other eggs#because he has a huge complex about being the ‘only one who can protect the eggs’ because of a thousand little cuts and his mental health#issues. Like he’s Wrong bur its such a fascinating little direction for his character. Yes king burn thyself on the pure of protection#and then burn in a nuclear blast too because your self sufficiency left you to care for your egg alone#you can take care of the eggs. you can hurt your friends. look at how much you hurt your friends#look st the monster you are . your teeth are sharp and your claws are large#never mind that time you sent tina into a panic attack because you tried to recreate safety#never mind that your friends and family are worried about you#you are falling apart. but so many monsters survive the killing blow

We need more Dark!Captain Price please!!
Behave, Love
Tumblr media
Pairing: Dark! Captain John Price x fem!reader
Cw: implied smut, DARK, IMPLIED NON-CON, possessive behaviour, kidnapping, kinda Stockholm syndrome, captive reader, mean Price, punishment, basement wife?, tell me if I missed any. Wc: 2.6k
Tumblr media
“We have guests tonight, love,” he told you this morning before leaving.
That was a warning, the only one you needed to understand what you were told - ordered - to do. You spent the morning cleaning up, wiping off the nonexistent dust from the shelves, washing off the clean tables and surfaces around the house that you’d cleaned yesterday after he called to tell you that he was coming home. The following hours were spent vacuuming the wooden floor and mopping up any nano-spill of some kind. Only after the long hours you took to clean every speck of dust in your shared home, did you start cooking.
Price was a simple man in the things he liked, he might’ve been strategic in his plays and his decisions, down to the smallest aspects of each mission, or preferring his gun or knives maintained in a specific way that was his only, but anything at home, he liked simple. Perhaps it was a blessing for you, never spending time learning how to cook or bake, your training took up all your time and any free time you had was spent resting or on extra training. He liked well-rounded meals, having meat, vegetables and a bit of spice on his plate with rice or fries on the side.
You dread the moments he leaves as much as the giggle of the knob, leaving meant that he’d be watching you remotely, from the small screen of his phone with alarms and countermeasures against your escape - to which you’ve tried and failed many times, the severity of his punishment racking up from an hour in the dark basement to being tied up and tortured to overstimulation of a fake cock moulded to replicate Price’s cock - and his return would leave you at the mercy of his prying eyes and hungry mouth, letting his hands trace the scars that littered your skin. Any sign of disgust: shuddering, flinching or freezing would get you some time in the basement. 
He pulled you from years of training, the result of your blood sweat and tears gone with the flick of Price’s wrist. He had you discharged and had you move in with him - how fortunate you’ve been living on base without an apartment outside of the compound, you saw no use for it if you’d rarely be home - even though you fought against him, tooth and nail. Yet that only landed you in time out - or so he called it. 
“We’re going to get married, love,” he told you, a bright smile hidden under his beard, a wishful gleam in his eyes. 
You weren’t only getting married, you were signing off your body and soul to your captor to become a glorified housewife. From a private to a housewife, how saddening, you couldn’t help that self-deprecating attitude rather than the confidence and strength that were beaten into you during training. 
Any connection to the outside world was cut off, Price made sure that you wouldn’t have any way to contact your family without his supervision - he had you call them once a month to reassure them that you were safe and happy with your new life - or the authorities, not that they’d listen to you with The Captain John Price and his decorated background. Granted, you had a TV to entertain yourself in moments of boredom or the book-filled wall in the living room, even a few recreational activities he wanted you to practise: knitting, sewing, cooking and baking.
Naturally, you turned to cooking and baking as a way to pass the time, leaving the radio or the TV on as background noise to fill the depressing atmosphere. With time, you’d grown more comfortable in the kitchen and Price could trust you with more complicated dishes, even being excited to eat a homemade dinner when he came home. He liked meat, so you read about different meaty dishes - especially with the notion of the other coming over for the afternoon - with good portions of vegetables. 
You moved around the island, setting the table with plates and cups, knives, spoons and forks on the sides with a bowl of fries in the middle. The steaks were almost done, sizzling besides the warm sauce you were boiling after cracking the can. The beans and mashed potato were already set on each plate, waiting for the juicy meat and sauce you worked on, hoping that you’d be finished on time for Price to get home. You hoped Price would be nicer to you while the men ate, nothing too rash or possessive from him during their stay.
The lock clicked as you placed the final piece, the rattle of keys and the familiar steps of Price’s heeled shoes were - unless you missed his soft “I’m home, love.” - the usual sounds you’d hear when he came home, the only indications that you were never truly able to relax.
“Welcome home, John,” you returned, greeting him with a small kiss on the corner of his lips, his bushy beard irritating your cheeks. 
He leaned down, chasing you for a second, deeper kiss, his teeth catching your lower lip before he moved aside to let his coworkers enter. 
“Ma’am,” Gaz jumped in, lowering his cap in a mock bow to you.
Being called ma’am made you feel old and married. While you were married, you were a year or two younger than him with him having an authority over you on base. You didn’t necessarily know him before your discharge, only catching a few glances when either of you were passing through the gym or shooting range, or when you crossed paths in the halls or mess hall. Perhaps in another universe, you would’ve been friends or teammates by chance. You swallowed down a sigh that threatened to slip from your pursed lips.
Soap followed closely behind Gaz with a boisterous greeting of his own, his smile infectious and giddy. How couldn’t you smile back at him when he seemed so happy to be here, you couldn’t bear to break his heart, his puppy-like joy. You shook his hands, they were as firm as the last time, his fingers more calloused and harder on the tips from the many deployments between their last visit. Ghost was a step behind everyone, giving you a quick but welcoming nod, his eyes softening at the dark bags under your eyes. 
“Come in, I was just about finished.”
Without so much of a complaint, they sat down, watching you pour the brown sauce over their plate. Price - as always - sat at the head of the table, watching you and his team from his vantage point. Ghost sat to his left with Soap beside him and Gaz on the opposite from him, taking the seat to your right. The seat to Price’s right was always reserved to you whenever you were present, a rule he imposed himself. He could easily hold your hand while it rested on the table, he could sneakily place his firm hand on your thigh, or he could send you a quiet message through the corner of his eye, something so discreet that not even Ghost noticed.
Dinner with 141 was always animated, with Soap and Gaz throwing jabs at each other and Ghost jumping in with a few jokes of his own - though they were the usual dark and morbid humour that he thrived on - while Price watched over it all, a proud smile adorning his face as his thumb brushed your knuckles. You could see the fatherly joy in his eyes whenever everyone was at the table, this joy that almost made you happy that you were part of this small family - almost. You couldn’t forget the pain and harrowing sadness that clouded your mind every day, Price’s influence on your life becoming the looming shadow that kept you locked away from the freeing sun.
“It was tidy, bonnie!” Soap thanked you, collecting the plates while the rest helped around.
“Thank you, Johnny.”
While you washed the dishes, burly arms reached around your waist and locked fingers, pushing his chest to meet your back. He hummed a comforting tune, peppering your neck and shoulder with kisses, playing the loving and caring husband he was to the rest of the world. Laying his head on your shoulder, he was content with watching you work, ears listening to the chatter in the room and your beating heart, a calm and soft beat that soothed his nerves. 
“A right delight,” Price breathed out, hips swaying side to side in a drawl dance, rocking you along with him. 
He pressed his lips to your ear, mumbling praises for your behaviour and playing the husband he wanted to be - was. He was gentler with you, his strong arms holding you lovingly and expressing his devoted obsession with you with kisses and whispers. It was a side you saw often, Price being the ever-loving man he vowed to give you on the day of your marriage, the other one was the possessive and obsessive man who wanted your everything, your mind, body and soul. That side of him was given to you when you misbehaved, when you did something to displease him or when he deemed you worthy of punishment.
The other rarely saw their captain acting so soft and loving, even toward them, his little, ragtag of a team. Although it was something to be proud of, unendingly happy because at least one of them finally settled down, who were they if they couldn’t jab at Price, just a bit.
“Growing old, Cap’? You look like a romantic sap,” Gaz snickered, watching Price narrow his eyes in mocked anger through squinted eyes.
“Aye, I dinnae yer were a bodach,” Soap elbowed Gaz, failing to hold back his cackle, head tilted back and arms around his abdomen.
“English, Johnny.”
Price huffed, shoulders shaking with his own laughter.
“Oh, sod off,” he spat, lips stretched in a snarky smile. “Am I an old sap, love?” 
He clung to you, hands slipping under the hem of your shirt
“ ‘Course not, John. Maybe romantic, but not old.”
Calling him old wouldn’t do him or you any good, especially since you were married to him, a man over a decade older than you; and calling him romantic would be a lie thrown to the face, at least to you. Price would call himself a romantic man and preen about his rugged, yet gentlemanly character, his hands calloused and loving, his mouth praising and biting, his eyes ravaging and devoted, his acts protective and possessive. How Price would proclaim himself as the perfect husband - he said he was the day he dropped you the discharge letter - and how lucky you were to wound yourself with him rather than any boy your age. 
Price chuckled, his chest rumbling against your back as he tightened his hold around you. He liked your reply, that wide smile pressed to your throat with nipping kisses made you aware of his joy. You rocked back against him, dancing along the lazy sway of his hips, you were catering to his whims to stay safe and alive. His training wasn't for nothing, carved into the seams of your mind with every thrust of his cock or the silicone mimic of his cock. You learned quickly that if Jonathan Price was happy, you’d be safe and unharmed, so you aimed to please him and keep him happy.
If it meant playing the reciprocating and happily married wife to their captain, you’d do that. There wasn’t any loss of dignity and pride in wanting to feel safe, wanting to ignore how his hands gripped you too firmly or how your skin was littered with painful bruises after a rough night. To the Task Force, you were a willingly discharged soldier who became a housewife for their hardworking captain and your loving husband. The gold band carved with curved and intricate words added to the illusion of your perfect life. 
It made you want to scream and pull your hair out at how trusting they were of Price. All and any man had his darkness, that ugly need buried under the mass of duty and morality that made them who they were, but if let loose, they could be like Price, another monster wearing the skin of a man.
You couldn’t help squinting your eyes in a silent plea to the men, watching them drink and laugh merrily without a fault. Being a witness to their bountiful smile and full-bellied laughter when you were glued to your captor by the hip, his arm looped around your waist, pulling you to him. Laying your head on his shoulder as the bottle of whiskey grew lighter and lighter over time, the golden liquid rolling down their throat with a comforting burn after a long week at work. The little glances Price sent your way were reminders for you to behave until the end, his fingers curling over a healing bruise from when he held you too tightly, pussydrunk with his head between your thighs.
You smiled and nodded, going along with whatever they were chatting about, from meaningless affairs to slightly classified subjects. Nothing was off the table with you, they trusted Price enough to trust you with sensitive subjects and they all liked you, someone who could relate to their cause and understand their pains. Perhaps that played a part in his obsession with you.
Even when they stood on your doorstep with slurred speech and hooded eyes, they were always aware of their situation and minds sharp, but they were blind to your plight. Gaz and Soap shook hands with Price, the darker Brit bowing to lift his cap in a familiar salute: “‘Night, ma’am.”
“Thanks fer the meal, bonnie.”
“It’s always a pleasure having you over, Johnny.”
Ghost waved at you from the driving seat, he drank less comparatively to the other men, being designated as the driver between them. You send him a tired grin with a wave of your own, still within Price’s grasp. You looked on beside him as Ghost drove off, returning to base with two drunken sergeants in his custody. With them gone and the door shut and locked - bolted down with keys and codes only he had access to - he pulled you to his chest, rumbling out praises with his deep, soothing voice. 
 “You were so good today, love,” he pressed his lips against yours, hand cupping your nape with a slow lave of his tongue to deepen the kiss. “I’m so proud of you.”
He dragged you away, feet hanging on your toes to follow his movement while letting him press for more kisses, growing passionate and stealing your breath. You clung to him, fingers clawing at his form-fitting shirt as you walked backwards, stepping into your shared room. He blindly kicked the door shut, throwing you to the bed with a rough push. He stared at you through lidded eyes, bouncing on the bed as you scrambled to get your footing before he straddled your hips between his thick thighs, rutting his covered hardness against your stomach. 
His leaky head trapped under the tightness of his briefs and pants drenched his clothes, his chest rising with deep and laboured breaths. In the silence of your privacy, Price became handsy, wanting to grab and touch every part of you, cradling your face and wiping the drool on your lower lip with his thumb. He brought it to his mouth, sucking his thumb with lust-hazed eyes as he peered down at you. His brown hues were darker in the dim lighting, nearly black with lust and need as he grappled himself over you. He wore a crooked smile on his perfect lips.
“You deserve a reward for behaving so well, yeah?”

I've never made any connections between Worm and the Captain America mythos before. Spill some ink?
Okay, so from a purely aesthetic perspective, the gimme is Miss Militia. She's the most obvious "Captain Patriotic" in the roster, she has the power of GUN, she's the only one who actively buys into the mythology of America specifically. She's a Kurdish woman occupying an aesthetic niche generally held by a rugged squinty white guy. She's an output of the melting pot narrative. She's sort of a rendering of what a grounded superhero who somehow became very aesthetically into America might look like. Not in the craven marketing-driven way of Homelander or Comedian, not in the jingoistic maniac way of USAgent or Peacemaker. She buys it in the broadly left-liberal (USamerican connotation of that term) safe, friendly, reclamative way. Why, what a great rehabilitation of the archetype!
She's also deeply, deeply afraid of rocking the boat. She's got a deepseated childhood trauma related to the bad things that happen when she puts herself in a leadership role. She goes along to get along. When she's proactive, it's usually to point a gun at Tattletale to stop her from upsetting the status quo. She sits through a lot of situations where Steve Rogers, as commonly modeled, would probably plant himself like a tree by the river of truth and go, "Hey, this is fucked up." She more or less capitulates to Undersider domination of the city, in a way that predisposes us to think of her as a voice of reason after all these total nuts that Skitter's been up against- but would Taylor "to relinquish control is a form of ego death" Hebert really be willing to leave someone in charge of the local Protectorate branch who she thought couldn't be corralled? She looks like a beacon, but doesn't- indeed, probably can't- ever truly behave like one. I mean, you can debate the on-the-spot morality of any given one of her judgement calls, that's actually one of the less exhausting Worm Morality Debates to have- but in aggregate, a person in American flag garb who actually meaningfully criticizes the paramilitary organization they're part of is not gonna survive long in that role!
So again, she's the gimme from an aesthetic standpoint. But what I don't really see a lot of discussion of is how Cauldron plays into the riff.
Captain America is institutional, but in a comically morally uncomplicated way. The serum was originally mana from heaven, granted to a living saint, conveniently divorced from any nitty-gritty sausage-making process and even-more conveniently divorced from the horrible consequences of giving the, uh, the U.S government a replicable super soldier process. And in fairness to Captain America, this is 100 percent something the overall mythos eventually patched to my satisfaction; the sausage-making process eventually revealed as prototypical government fuckery driven by human experimentation on black servicemen, the overall Marvel Setting littered with failed attempts by the U.S. Government to recreate that golden goose so they can have their fun new jackboots. (In Ultimate Marvel, this is how almost all contemporary superhumans were created, and this is a state of affairs with a body count in the millions or billions.)
Cauldron draws you in with the same noble rhetoric about greater goods, the same one-off proprietary irreplicable formula- but you don't get the luxury afterwards of representing nothing but the dream. You aren't partnering up with a plucky crank scientist with a heart of gold. You're selling your soul to an organization with an agenda. The narrative makes no bones about the fact that everything you do is fundamentally tainted by the fact you opted into an end product created through torture, kidnapping and human experimentation. You don't get to pull a Kamen Rider by going rogue or opting out or making good use of the fruit of the poisoned tree; you are owned, and everything you do has this Damocles sword hanging over your head- when are the people who bankrolled this going to come to collect?
So that's the question of "who would willingly dress like that" covered, and the question of who creates a serum like that. What about the question of who takes a serum like that? I'd argue that Eidolon is the examination of that. Pre-Cauldron David reads to me like pre-serum Steve Rogers viewed through a significantly bleaker lens. They're both sickly kids desperate to serve, rocketed to the pinnacle of human capability by an experimental procedure. But for Steve Rogers, the crisis was that he had a specific vision of the world and was frustrated by his inability to carry it out. Before the serum he picked fights over what was right and wrong and got his ass handed to him; afterwards he picked those same fights and just started winning instead. The serum neatly solved a problem he had, and to the extent that his mindset is influenced by his pre-serum experiences, it's generally constructive; a desire to protect the weak, help the helpless, an appreciation for people who stand up for what's right even when they're clearly gonna get pancaked for their trouble. So ultimately there's no dark side, downside, or underlying neurosis ascribed to his initial impulse to take that serum.
But with David, it's not a tragic case of the spirit being willing but the flesh being weak. He isn't a preternaturally-noble soul, out to represent the best elements of the American ideal- he kind of represents the inverse, a guy who's been failed at every level while utterly convinced that he's the problem. He's actively suicidal because he's a wheelchair-bound epileptic in an economically-depressed socially-backwards rural town in the 1980s, and he's spent his 18 years of life internalizing the idea that he's worse than useless unless he can somehow find a way provide value to something larger than himself. Doctor Mother finds him in the aftermath of a suicide attempt spurred by his rejection from the army- and he didn't even want to join the army specifically, necessarily, he just needed his situation to be literally anything else, and he took what he thought he could get. And then he finds himself in a position to become a superhero, so he does that, molds himself into that, subordinates himself to that, builds his entire sense of self and values around the value he can provide in that role. No grand design or sacred principles carried over through the metamorphosis. Just relief at finally, finally having something that looks like an answer to the question of what he's supposed to do.
And you know, you know that if Steve Rogers was facing down the barrel of being depowered, he'd smile and nod, he'd Cincinnatus that shit. It's happened before. But for David, the emotional trauma and self-worth issues that caused him to roll the dice on a Steve-Rogers treatment never really went away. When would it? He's been Providing Value as a ten-ton Hammer Against Evil for thirty years. No family, no social life. Certainly, no incentive on his handler's part to lance his Atlas complex. So he barrels towards atrocity in the name of remaining useful. Admittedly, this is where the comparison breaks down in a significant way; Captain America is much more of a symbol than he is an irreplicable powerhouse, so it's not catastrophic if he's taken off the board. Eidolon is so unbelievably powerful that his myopia and self-centeredness actually do align with a real problem everyone else is gonna have if he loses his powers. But in terms of the starting points- I think that Steve Rogers embodies the myth about why you'd want to join the army that badly. Eidolon is, I think, much more closely modelling why you'd actually want to join the army that badly.

Kidnapped soulfire members still showing up at the island on filler episodes, I’d like to think it’s just snippets of them, little ghostly fire entities going about their business, although silly, because their original selfs have strong attachments to the island and the cozy soulfire base recreation serves as a link to allow these ghostly visits. Cause. You know the soul campfire kind of serves as a hearth for them. As long as it burns they wont truly be gone.

Hi! I’m crazy shy about this but I have a NSFW oneshot prompt with the archons (Ruka not Nahida for dendro obviously) but I only have ideas for the first three so I wanted to share it… please don’t hate me…
All vision holders suddenly went missing, on the same day Celestia informed the archons that they’re sending down a god whose been kept in captivity. Most archons wonder if the two events are related, many worry that this god is supposed to replace one of them.
1. Venti was told the god would travel to each nation, starting with Mondstadt. He hopes to endear himself to this new god in hopes they won’t kill and replace him. As he’s waiting at Stormbearer Point, cecilia petals fall from the sky and completely coat the ground. From the petals emerges a girl wearing a white frilly lace-covered corset romper whose hair ombrés into glowing pink. Her god name is Asmodeus, but goes by Y/N, she is the goddess of fertility. She’s nervous and asks to go somewhere more private where she tells Venti that Celestia sent her to complete a mission. The vision holders where kidnapped and murdered by the abyss, Celestia managed to obtain their souls and wants Y/N to birth new bodies for them… but they want to make them more powerful by infusing their bodies with the power of their element, however, this would require Y/N to procreate with each archon. Venti is disgusted by the idea, by Celestia, and is initially disgusted by Y/N until he discovers she is being forced, bound by celestial chains which get tighter and hotter the more she resists or is unsuccessful. Venti pities her and is very kind, comforting and gentle with the poor traumatized girl.
2. Venti informs Zhongli before Y/N shows up, Zhongli starts off very hesitant, but instincts take over and he gets a little… rough, when breeding her. Wholesome aftercare ensues.
3. Ei is also told ahead of time by Venti, and her genitalia changes upon meeting the goddess. This makes extremely uncomfortable and it takes her a bit to get into it, however, once Y/N has birthed new bodies and recreated all the electro vision holders, Ei kidnaps her and tries to force her to revive Makoto by birthing her a new body, however, Y/N refuses as it’s morally wrong and she doesn’t have access to Makoto’s soul.
That’s my only ideas for now, but Zhongli and Venti would have to save her and deliver her to Rukkhadevata, and Y/N would eventually have to go through all archons.
bestie I have been thinking about this ask for days now and I love it
Venti's relationship with Celestia is strained at the best of times, and he's furious that they would force someone into a situation like this, but after seeing how much pain his refusal is causing you, he changes his mind. He's careful and tender, all soft touches and gently rocking his hips against yours, kissing your tears away and whispering promises of safety into the crook of your neck. When he cums, the pain of the celestial chains subsides a little, and he helps you clean up with a sad smile.
Zhongli, on the other hand, whilst also being furious at Celestia, is a dragon who has been thrown a piece of meat, and it gets harder and harder for him to resist. Then, he finally snaps, and apologises profusely as he flips you onto your knees, lifting your ass in the air with ease and thrusting in as deep as he can go all at once. He's too far gone to control his movements, too eager to pump you full of his seed, but in the afterglow he makes sure to kiss your bruises and apologise for his loss of control.
And Ei....bestie I don't even know what to add, she's petty and possessive and maybe a little yandere here? And I'm so into it <3 I cannot write for female characters but I love your interpretation of her
thank you so much for putting this in my inbox ;;-;;

supernatural should've gotten a Courage the Cowardly Dog crossover like they did with Scoobynatural....90% of the shit courage turned out was way scarier than anything that ever happened on supernatural, it would've been incredible. Courage has to recreate dantes inferno or some shit. Cas is animated in his trueform instead of his vessel and it's some PEAK fucked up courage animation. Dean would probably do the little jumpy dance Courage does when he's trying to explain whatever cosmic horror they just witnessed to Sam. Muriel wants to fuck Sam. Jack gets kidnapped by whatever the terrifying courage monster of the week villain is but they end up becoming friends and he doesn't understand why The Fleshless Lord of the Murdered Star Souls (or whatever the fuck) can't come home with them. Sam sees the animal abuse going on and throws down with Eustace (who ends up being used as a blood sacrifice naturally). Cas has a fucking showdown with the talking computer, his known enemy. at the end of the episode once they're back in the real world we find out Jack stole Eustace's mask and scares the shit out of Dean with it.

anti propaganda for will parry!
i want to preface this by saying that his dark materials (book AND tv show) is absolutely worth getting into. if you’ve ever seen a dæmon au, that’s where it’s from. the worldbuilding is incredible, the characters are so so good and one of the main villains is an evil church.
will parry comes from ‘our’ universe, in a story where they can travel between worlds. he lost his father at a young age, and has helped look after his mother since. (he loves his mum so much it’s plot relevant). he finds another dimension bc he follows a cat. he gets into a knife fight and accidentally acquired a knife that can kill god. he befriends angels. he challenges a giant polar bear to a fight while he’s searching for his kidnapped bff. he goes to the afterlife with said bff. his first romance helped recreate the concept of original sin. he gave up the love of his life to help the dead find peace. his soul is embodied by a cat. i love him

Edward & Lydia (The Adventure Zone: Balance) "They turned to Necromancy to save their dying brother but failed, then came to love Necromancy and became liches to gain even more power. However, they are NOT End Avatars, because while they are undead Necromancers who have the soul-controlling Relic, their goals and methodology revolve not around killing people, but hurting them as long and as much as possible. They started out sustaining their sanity on their love for their brother, but then realized suffering was an even better fuel source—so they don’t NEED to inflict suffering, which fits Desolation even more because the pain their victims suffer isn’t even a necessary evil. They then created a game show/“torture prison” called Wonderland to entice people with magical prizes and systematically extract as much pain as possible.
Challenges include Wheel of Sacrifice (sacrifice something valuable to you like your eye, your memory of your nemesis, or your dexterity); Trust or Forsake (Prisoner’s Dilemma, you get to see what happens to the other team if you forsake them); Healing Game (Each member of a group can transfer some of their health to another group member--but the transfer is a 2:1 rate, so only half of what was sent will be given to the recipient, and there is no healing in Wonderland); Monster Factory (forces the players to create the monster that’s killing them); and Boss Rush (self-explanatory).
When her brother is killed, Lydia blows herself up in a fiery explosion after destroying Magnus’ body (he was possessing a mannequin) as one last fuck you. Also the arc featuring them is literally called The Suffering Game, because people's pain is a game to them--they don't need it, they just want to destroy people's bodies, minds, and potential (again: Wheel of Sacrifice), leading them on with a promise of a prize to systematically torture them. They also arguably could act as commentary on the sadistic nature of game shows in general--making people suffer as live entertainment to get a reward they may desperately need, only to be screwed over and left off worse than they started."
The White Clad (Fire Force) "Their goal is to recreate the cataclysm by burning the entire world, turning it into a sun. This cataclysm has already happened to the sun, once a planet. In fact the entire world of Fire Force essentially takes place in a post Desolation ritual earth, a literal Blackened Earth where only one country is habitable. In their quest to find the people needed to recreate the cataclysm, they turn people into infernals, living beings of fire that exist in constant pain (similar in appearance to the burning passengers in MAG 107), suffering so much that they go on senseless rampages. Heck, our first encounter with an infernal mirrors the burning train cars from MAG 107. One major plot point in the anime is the kidnapping of the protagonist’s brother and the loss of his mother. So we have the obvious fire imagery, but also the element of losing something precious (at least from the protagonist’s POV) and suffering/pain (the infernals)"

BG3 AU for whomever in your head screams YES (I am tempted to say ROBELLA)
Now that I am fully in Act 3 for one of my saves, I think I can somewhat confidently tackle this now, lmao. (Also, you're so right. Robella is the ship this au is for)
● Potentially controversial, but Robert is the Tav in this equation. He's also a human Oath of Devotion paladin with the noble background.
● Ella is a half-drow ranger who gets recruited around/at the same time as Wyll. Not because they were traveling together after the tadpole thing, but just on the pure coincidence that Ella was going to The Grove to get healed by a master druid.
● They hook up at the Tiefling party, & this has Ella imprinting on Robert enough that he's locked in at that point. Off-screen she's bullying other companions who wanted to fuck him because that's her man now. Robert stuck his dick in crazy & there's no going back (he's into it though).
● Ella’s arc has Tav/Robert finding out she has a twin brother who lives in Baldur's Gate because their drow dad won him in the fantasy divorce, & that she got kidnapped & tadpoled on the way to see him because his recent letters said "their dad was getting worse." Queue investigating shit in the Underdark & Moonrise towers, with Ella convincing herself that her dad is a True Soul or has some kind of Drow Specific Disease, they get to The Gate & drow!Daemon is actually just on Gortash's team for fun. Pure recreation for him, no tadpole needed (he probably wants one though, but Gortash ain't gonna give him a special one). Successful charisma checks see Ella helping bg3!Yorick to kill their dad instead of joining him.
● After the game & successfully defeating the netherbrain + Dead Three, Ella goes back to the countryside home where her human mom lives near the woods for her ranger stuff, bringing Robert with her & they go on adventures together. It is not a balanced party, but that doesn't matter because they have each other. Maybe bg3!Yoreen come with them on the quests (still not balanced, but at least it's a full party).

The love n hate of Crowley n sam
Sorry another random too late at night...this time about crowley...n its a bit of a weird one:
So you know how crowley traded his soul for a few inches n became a demon hundreds pf years ago....n then you know how the whole sam n dean being vessels for the archangels was a "project" for heaven n hell with full-on breeding program of john n mary etc,etc...ie this was a "known plan" in both heaven and hell for centuries leading specifically to triggerring the apoclaypse 1.0
Tumblr media
So if crowleys been crawling up the ladder all this time, initially as regular soul,then demon,then crossroads demon and then king of crossroads deals and then king of hell....he'd have been privy to some of these plans,no? - he'd have known of sam n dean n especially sam for ages before they met yeah? - ie He'd have heard tell of the "boyking sam" & the plans for him to rule hell but he'd also have known that he'd been marked as the true vessel for lucifer and ...always scheming to climb the ladder crowley would have been intrigued i'm sure, to know more/see how he could get closer to someone that was supposed to be this powerful in the hierarchy of hell,no?...
N then when dean went to hell in s3 - was crowley one of the demons to torture dean?...to see dean broken to get at sams secrets?.... what about when john went to hell? - would crowley have been in there too...perhaps sidling up,jockeying for a closer position to have a look at the "boykings father"?...
Tumblr media
In s8 sacrifice theres this whole undertone while crowley being turned by sams blood - there moments in there like he's almost in love with sam/"wants to be loved" - but by sam specifically? - but KNOWS sam hates him and always will coz of everything hell has cost sam but specifically what crowley is - a demon...(which is ironic considering sam is usually all about "only matters what you do/not who you are"?...)
wouldnt sam be thinking about crowleys role since they met? - ie where was crowley when dean was being tortured, when his gf was torched or how much of a hand he had in all the hell-related things that'd happened to sam?....crowley would have been there or close enough to hear what sam might have gone through in the cage too,no? - & whatd that do to his perceptions of sam?
So my weird theory is that crowley was sorta fascinated with sam and potentially in love with him and wanted sam to love him back .... (remember his monologue about all his "improvements" he'd made in hell - to sam?)
Tumblr media
and that is also 1xprimary reasons he "kidnaps" dean ( along with his own other agendas ofc, hes a demon after all)...n essentially has a "summer of love" with dean - to hurt n torture sam + to see "what does dean have that i dont that sam loves so much" ....
Tumblr media
he almost tries to recreate the sam/dean dynamic with dean (and dean lets CROWLEY literally use the "jerk/bitch" exchange even! ) but its so he can feel what its like to have friends,be loved etc like he thinks sam has/does ("i torture all my friends, thats how i show love") - & to someone like that, s8-"sacrifice" would have been huge torture = huge love =coz who'd cared enough about crowley to ever think he could be redeemed or saved? - no one.... but here was sam practically killing himself to 'cure' him never mind that its for a trial - the fact tht sams doing it at all means something to crowley imo)....
Tumblr media
n human blood addiction s9-s11 almost, means hed be rolling in bouts of feelings and empathy n he'd understand more n more how much hes hurting sam but also how much sams been through already....
The seasons after s8,when he tries to help them is for similar reasons i reckon - he wants to be friends with dean n enjoys deans company,sure - but he wants sams devotion n love - hes still trying to "show sam" how much hes working on himself to be better...hes trying to get sam to 'see him', to get sams approval after s8...in vain...
and then theres a point when sam says thank you and crowley instantly gets this stunned look n disappears immediately n then very soon after he gets himself killed n when he turns that last time, he's looking at sam...n ofc sam hates crowley on principle but also potentially because of his thoughts on what role crowley might have played n while he may even pick up on crowleys feelings - he'd probably be dismissive of it n even contemptous of it coz of natural hate for demons he had but also skepticism that demons could "love" at all & because of all crowleysdone to people he loved (sarah)...
Sorry another spn-rambling too late at night !...
In conclusion to this rambling: i think crowley was in tragic,doomed love with sam and sam knew it and he couldnt / wouldnt reciprocate - ever....
P.s: i kinda also think that like theres a whole parallel-thing you could draw on about how sam basically got "hit on" / coveted by hells heavy hitters(the devil,the king of hell,prince of hell n then queen of hell) and dean from heaven's side coz of their 'status' as vessels in hell n heaven, respectively n how sam n dean never reciprocated anyone - coz it was always "you n me" ie sam n dean for them....
Tumblr media
but thats another ramble for another night...somone write/rec cram- fics on this please?... pretty please? ... thank you for reading!...:)

To anyone who has been watching me flail and gnash my teeth over the past year as I write a monstrously long fanfic and maybe thought to themselves, ‘Damn, should I watch Lucifer so I know what she’s talking about?’
My answer is, NO! Bestie, I cannot, with a clear conscience, recommend the TV show Lucifer to anyone who knows me here on Tumblr. Now, if you want to learn how to utilize parallels in story telling? Then, absolutely! Lucifer is a MASTERCLASS in utilizing parallels, both visually and narratively. A++
But otherwise, you will have to do your own soul-searching and research to decide if Lucifer is worth your time. Because if I recommend Lucifer to you, then you’re going to start with episode 1 like a normal person and then you’re going to hate me because IT’S GARBAGE!
Oh, but Amber, all pilots are rough. I can just stick with it. — No, you misunderstand me. The pilot is FANTASTIC. It’s HYSTERICAL. But only if you know how the series ends. If this is your first introduction to the characters? It’s awful! I don’t know how anyone ever watched any part of S1 (except maybe the finale because the kidnapped child trope is chef’s kiss) and thought “OMG yes please, more of this”.
And I know what you’re going to say: Parks and Recreation. BUT THIS IS NOT THE SAME THING! You can absolutely skip S1 of Parks and Rec and never, ever go back and watch it, and you would be fine. You wouldn’t miss a goddamn thing.
You absolutely have to watch S1 of Lucifer. This is not a case of ‘oh the writers haven’t figured out these characters yet’. NOPE! This is 100% who these characters are at the start of their journey together. It’s crucial to understanding and appreciating their full character arcs. But it’s the start of their journey together and if they’re not a jackass (Lucifer, Dan) or sex-crazed* (Linda, babe WHAT was that), then they’re boring (Amenadiel and YEAH I’LL SAY IT Chloe^). Yes, Maze is hot, and toothless, 7 year old Trixie can do no wrong (bless that child) — BUT YOU CAN’T STICK WITH A SHOW FOR TWO CHARACTERS WHO ARE BARELY IN IT!+
[* — I don’t want to slut-shame. I am merely too aspec to relate. Also for a show about the Devil with a queer protagonist and more than one queer supporting character, Lucifer is WAY too Het (tm), but especially in S1]
[^ — Credit where credit is due: Chloe’s backstory of being a child actress who did a nude scene in a movie when she was 19 is FASCINATING. I love it because it is soooo outside of my comfort zone. I never in a million years would’ve made a character with that backstory, and for that reason, I love it.]
[+ — Watching a show for a character who’s barely in it is exactly something I’ve done in the past. It’s probably something we’ve all done at one time or another, but it’s not a sustainable business model for production companies, okay? You can’t always rely on the gays to do the work for you!]
You know what you get out of S1 if you wait to watch it last? (with spoilers — but honestly, it makes the show better. That’s my entire point in this post!)
Shouting at your screen 8.5 minutes in when the writers telegraph the end game goal of the show
General questioning where all the blue tones came from o_O (They liked ~filters~ in S1)
Having your mind goddamn BLOWN when you learn Chloe and Dan were still actually married at the start of the show. Like, WHAT?! No, I’m sorry… WHAT?!!
The horror that you were always going to feel now mixed with hysterical laughter as Linda is WAY too horny and WAY too susceptible to Lucifer’s desire power
“Did my father send you?” — DYING! DEAD! DECEASED!
Absolutely not being able to take Amenadiel seriously even for a second. Everytime you look up at his stony expression, you fall out of your chair laughing all over again
Tumblr media
[^Amenadiel, I'm so sorry, but this does not intimidate me. I know you too well now.]
AND THAT’S JUST THE PILOT! You keep watching and you get to see Maze meet little Trixie for the first time (adorbs <3). You get to watch Maze meet Dan for the first time and IT’S SO GODDAMN FUCKING FUNNY I AM NOT EVEN JOKING! Like, if you can make it that far into the show by watching from the beginning, then it’s still funny. But TRUST ME! It’s way better once you know they’re besties and have seen Maze sob over an N*Sync shirt. I’M CRACKING UP JUST THINKING ABOUT IT!
Tumblr media
You also get to watch Lucifer’s struggle with mortality/vulnerability already knowing how it works (already knowing how all of his powers work). Chloe says, “Oh, I want to shoot you so bad.” And you’re shouting YES, PLEASE! DO IT! DO IT! And it’s not because you’re hate-watching the show, it’s because you know he’ll bleed when she does and LUCIFER DOESN’T KNOW THAT YET! Malcolm’s about to shoot him episodes later and you’re yelling again DO IT! DO IT!!!! Because Chloe’s no where around this time and Lucifer won’t bleed but he doesn’t know that either! (And then you groan in disappointment when Malcolm walks away without shooting — and then you cheer when two seconds later the villain of the episode shows up and shoots Lucifer instead! \0/ It’s SO satisfying!)
What I’m saying is, Season 1 is incredible… but only if you add dramatic irony to it. If you’re as clueless as the characters? Then, god help you, because I wouldn’t have made it past Linda jumping Lucifer’s bones in her office during the pilot. I just wouldn’t have.
Further caveats:
If you want to watch solely for Maze/Eve — DON’T! My girl Eve is barely in the show after her S4 introduction, and she’s dating Lucifer for the majority of that season. Like Maze/Eve are incredible and perfect and integral to Maze’s overall character arc. You get to see them get married and they have such gems like “You broke my heart” / “Really? :D That’s awesome!” and “I don’t care if you die.” / “:’) That’s the most romantic thing anyone’s ever said to me.” — LIKE BABES, THEY’RE GORGEOUS! I just wouldn’t watch 6 seasons of a show for like 1.5 seasons total of B-storyline content. I don’t think that’s really worth it but your scales may differ.
Tumblr media
Now if you want to watch solely for Tricia Helfer…. FAIR! THAT’S FAIR! I’m pretty sure she’s what got me sucked in. Technically, that’s probably not worth it either because she’s only a regular for S2 and 3 and then guest stars in a couple of S5b episodes — but then again, IMDB confirms she was in 47 of the 93 episodes while Eve was only in 14 (FOURTEEN??? :O What do you mean?? Wasn’t she in like most of S4????? JFC no wonder it seems like she’s never around T_T) So yeah, Tricia Helfer might be worth it! She’s fabulous as both Lucifer’s mom and as Charlotte Richards! Love her!
Tumblr media
Season 3 is both the longest and the WORST season no matter when you watch it. Unless you have some deep-seated nostalgia for Smallville, you’re going to be miserable during this season and there’s absolutely no way I can make it better for you. I am so sorry. It’s horribly paced. It has a narratively useful characterization backslide with NO TRIGGER POINT so it therefore doesn’t actually flow with the narrative after all. It has too many filler episodes which for this show, does actually ruin the pacing, and includes two miscellaneous episodes that have nothing to do with anything slotted AFTER a very massive, huge finale cliffhanger! (WHY???? @ Fox execs, PLEASE EXPLAIN!!!!!) They completely fucked up the character foil I assume they were intending because there’s no way you intended that to be a face value parallel. I refuse to accept that. And that’s before whatever the fuck their goal was with the Chloe/Pierce romance. IT WAS SO BADLY DONE IT MAKES ME RAGE!
But also we got Chloe and Linda drunkenly taking over Lucifer’s penthouse when he was out of town, and the finale scene of Lucifer shielding Chloe with his wings as they’re getting shot at which makes me FERAL, so it’s not all bad.
Tumblr media
Speaking of Lucifer shielding Chloe with his wings, I might have an unexplored obsession with angels that is clouding my judgement of this show. :S Okay, years ago I read a Supercat AU where Kara was the devil and I was enthralled but anything else I found featuring angels just wasn’t the vibe. And then I found Lucifer and got hooked. So IDK! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The DoomWars
Tumblr media
Dr.Victor Von Doom had been a deposed monarch for several years, his throne usurped by none other than Dr.Victor Von Doom himself. Victor had woven scheme upon intricate scheme during his life, with only one of those plans going awry. His goal to live beyond his own death had worked too well.
The Latverian ruler had programmed one of his legion of Doombots to imprint his own memories and brain engrams onto his adopted son, Kristoff. When Dr.Doom was later presumed dead, the robot obeyed it's programming and Kristoff essentially became Dr.Doom.
Kristoff (referred to as Doom the 2nd) had inherited his father's arrogant pride, a serious flaw, and Doom II halted the memory transfer process before it was complete, this he gained only partial knowledge of his foes and the world around him. For example, Kristoff only had Victor’s early memories of Reed Richards and The Fantastic Four, plus his own more recent experiences. Once he had failed to destroy the Fantastic Four because he was literally unaware of The Invisible Woman’s force field ability. Doom II was captured and stripped of his armored metal exoskeleton by The Fantastic Four.
At the time, Doom was believed to be dead at the hands of Tyros the Terrible and the Silver Surfer, his body reduced to loose atoms during a clash between weilders of the power cosmic. In truth, Victor transferred his consciousness into a bystander’s body, and soon took steps to recreate his own form. After The Beyonder returned Doom to his rightful body, Victor soon attempted to use Franklin Richards’ reality-altering mutant abilities to free his mother's tortured soul from the nether realm of Mephisto. During Franklin’s kidnapping, Kristoff was able to escape confinement and also return to Latveria.
After Doom’s plans with his rival’s son dissolved, he found that Doom II had seized the reins of power in his homeland of Latveria. Victor Von Doom was forced out of his own country, an exiled leader foiled by his own plans. Since Doom II’s rise to power the two Dooms had clashed on numerous occassions. Both had used pawns and hirelings, and neither had much success. For the past year or so, the overt clashes between the two Dooms had reached a state of detente. However, both have been preparing for the next and potentially ‘final’ confrontation…

Finn, Joe, Mustafa
Playroom!verse, crack?, suggestive, nothing explicit
*
"What are you dressing up as for Tyler's Halloween party?" Finn asks. His naked body is littered with pink suck marks and several small bruises, the former courtesy of Mustafa and the latter Joe.
Joe tosses a faded gray bathrobe at him. "Cover up. You're a menace to society."
"Bet you weren't thinking that when you were trying to suck my soul out through my dick." Finn shrugs the bathrobe on but leaves it untied, and leers at a freshly-showered Mustafa coming out of the bathroom. "Can't believe you're all scrubbed down before I got another go at that cute butt."
"No one is going anywhere near my cute butt for a week." Mustafa scrunches up his nose. "I should tell you both to stop using my ass to keep score."
Finn laughs and asks, "Have you thought about what to wear for Tyler's Halloween bash?"
"i was thinking pirate."
"A slutty pirate I hope, with unbuttoned shirt and tight leather pants and eyeliner," Finn says. "Lots of bandannas and stuff to tie people up with."
Mustafa's lips curve coyly. "I might just be." He pulls on a ratty old T-shirt and a pair of board shorts. "What about you and Seth?"
"Seth's thinking he wants to try a full-on Elton John glam pimp look, with feathered boa and bedazzled shades and all that shit. Tyler's helping him with that." Finn sighs and stretches, looking delectably obscene in the unmade bed. "I'm thinking werewolf, or maybe recreate that demon outfit I wore that one time in Tokyo."
"Oh hell no," Joe interjected. "You'll be jumped the second you step into the party and it'll turn into an orgy or something."
Mustafa is intrigued. "Now I wanna see it."
"I could put on a proper suit outside with a devil's tail and horns for the main evening and show you what's underneath after that," Finn suggests, wagging his eyebrows suggestively. Then he grins. "Or I could dress as a ninja. Wouldn't you like that, Joe?"
To Mustafa's surprise and further curiosity, Joe turns slightly pink around the ears. The big man grumbles something under his breath and escapes to the bathroom to take his own shower.
Finn is laughing, so Mustafa plants himself next to the Irishman and cuddles up to ask, "What's with the ninjas?"
"Joe once got himself, uh, kidnapped by ninjas," Finn tells him, looking so sincere and innocent that Mustafa knows whatever he's saying is pure bullshit. Finn leans over to murmur in the younger man's ear. "One of those was me, of course. We tied him up and brought him to my dungeon. My boys and girls at my old club had lots of fun with him. He'll pretend he was coerced into it, but let's just say I offered to let him go after I took the first turn on the ride, but he insisted on being fair to everyone."
"Everyone?" Mustafa licks his lips.
"Everyone."

CloneTale AU
I have ideas. >:D
(Chatted with Eagle @eaglepro2002 about Minko Koneko an OC character and now the plot thickens and there's a backstory to this AU now)
I wanna change that Gaster from Clone AU to unhinged Alphys. We need more unhinged Alphyses.
Komi is more likely to not put up a fight if she's forced to follow someone who wears a face of the person she cares about.
Kidnapping as it is. She'd probably talk it out first until it was too late with this Alphys.
CloneTale AU - Asgore requested false SOULs to be made to break the barrier. But before any success could be made.
Neutral Frisk killed Asgore and Flowey and left the Underground with the other SOULs. Leaving the rest of Monsterkind untouched.
Grief stricken, Al tried to recreate Asgore and holy crap it worked.
While she can't duplicate Human SOULs. She CAN Clone Monster SOULs much more easily. Forming their Magic body frame in the machine with just a tiny portion of their dust.
Until tragedy struck again and now with a horrible aggresive Human that kills Monsters just as easily as breathing.
Refusing to leave until every Monster perished.
Al became essentially Monsterkind revival specialist. Numbers etched into every Monsters that were duplicated to take note of them.
You can always see two walking about together to avoid if one death renders the other missing forever.
The murderous Human was still at large.
