#the holy spirit is a menace

Pentacost aka Whit Sunday
Okay, so 50 days after Easter and 10 days after Jesus finally went home to have it out with pops, the Holy Spirit (or Ghost if you prefer) - up to its fucked-up shenanigans again - visited the Apostles with some holy hallucinogens while they were getting their party on by celebrating the Feast of Weeks. [To be fair, this brand of shenanigans on the part of the Holy Spirit/Ghost was much better than impregnating an underage virgin, which was just wrong.] In any case, the Apostles started wilding out - speaking in tongues and shit like that - and as a result, I have Monday off.
And because I want to wild out like they did recover from an exhausting week, I've taken today off too.

This gif is an alarmingly accurate portrayal of me right now...though I do intend to leave my flat at some point for a nice lunch and a stroll in the park. Y'all have a good one! 😂

You know that Post about Danny becoming the False Villian, Expose?
To train all these kids, who are running around with shitty priorities and the self preservation instincts of lemmings? Because they were arrogant. Didn't listen to the concerns of those they "protect". Didn't listen to the concerns of a fellow Hero. So now, they WILL learn, at the hands of a "Villian".
Cause he TRIED pointing things out nicely.
Was met with a brick wall of condescension and dismissal.
THAT post.
You know where he would not only do that, but go APESHIT into it? Because he is a Hero and holy SHIT these kids are gonna get themselves killed? Gonna kill somebody ELSE? Have fucked up priorities and live in a fucked up system they do not even question?
Boku No Hero Academia.
Why the FUCK are you posing for the cameras? Why the absolute FUCK are you beating that man down on the worst day of his life, instead of TALKING him down? Why are you jumping too conclusions and splitting up and playing for the crowds? Why. The ABSOLUTE AND UNFORGIVING FUCK do you seem to ASSUME that every innocent soul, that doesn't look default generic human, is the AGGRESSOR in every situation you arrive at?!
Danny would have a conniption. Just a full body rage seizure, as his Ghost-y lil brain LIT UP with the BURNING NEED to fix everything, everywhere, at once. Right. Now.
But do they listen?
Ha!
Cool, cool cool cool cool..... he's gonna burn the entire country dow- No! That way lies Dan! Breathe, Fenton. Just.... Breathe. You can fix this.
The older ones may be set in their ways, but the younger ones are still learning. They can get better. BE better. They're kids. They just need opportunities to grow. And they WANT to be Heros, right? All he has to do is show them HOW. Poke their weak spots and point out their mistakes.
He can do that!
And just? Out of NO WHERE? This foreign villian decends upon Japan? What's worse, seeming to TARGET HEROS STUDENTS. Young, just debuted, Heros. Everyone freaks out. Older Heros closing rank, where they can, to try and Protect These Kids(tm).
But they can't be everywhere at once.
And this menace? Seemingly CAN be. Can make copies of himself. Use Ice. Fly. Energy beams. Intangiblity. Invisibility! What monster are they DEALING with?! That plays the flamboyant fool, dispensing deadly peril, only to then turn around, and in chilling sobriety absolutely destroy seasoned heroes?
That LECTURES them while doing it.
He's undermining the people's faith in the system!
(But should they have faith in it? Doesn't he have good points? Aren't they getting stronger, faster, better heroes for facing him? Where did he come from? Hasn't anyone else noticed that not a single civilian has gotten hurt, at his hands? That he annihilates any true villians foolish enough to think he's on their side?)
(How many "thugs" and "minor villians" have these guys not noticed, they wonder, who have just... disappeared. Come into contact with this guy and then? Stopped. Turned up somewhere else, weeks later, healthy again. Smiling with illegal lifestyle support gear, a new job, a new life, and better future. Finally free of the violence.)
Amity may be at peace by the time Danny turns 20(-ish? Maybe? Is he? Clockwork! How old IS he? You've sent him on so many of your weird timebend-y missions he lost count!). But? Danny is a Heroic Protector Spirit. His Obsession has demands. And his Human sides Space Obsession will never really be quite strong enough to support him.
You know, since it can't die.
Just because it HAS a Soul aspect to it, doesn't mean it'll ever come into practical use. So? The more powerful Heroic instincts it is! And honestly, he wasn't even planning to STAY. Just check the place out. You know, compare his options. But... *twitch*
They Are Doing It Wrong.
So now he lives here!
.....it's awful! They don't even have any space exploration! No studying, no stars, no futuristic moon base! Nothing! And he doesn't even SPEAK Japanese! In human form? He has no idea what anyone is saying! At least the Sorta-But-Not skeleton Ghost guy across the hall is helping. Dude might be taller then his DAD. Seriously ecto-starved though. It's like he somehow GAVE all his body's ecto to someone else!
How's he supposed to heal like that?! Guy really needs to learn how to take care of himself.

BVghjjgvhHGNbvjhh, of course!
A BIG little PROBLEM
Tumblr media
HORNY!BI-HAN X GN!READER
A/N: Wow, didn't expect this to be my first request...not complaining though lol. Now if you excuse me, I'm going to go take a bath in holy water.

Tumblr media
Today was a busy day. It has always been like that with the Lin Kuei, but today was possibly the worst so far. Bi-Han started a new project, something he calls the Cyber Initiative. You were already a busy enough person as it is, but this did not make matters any easier on you. You were toiling all day, doing one task to the next, and when you thought you could sit down another duty suddenly popped up for you to do. You were so busy you didn't even notice the sun was setting. But you were grateful nonetheless. Night had finally hit the Arctika and you had finally found a chance to relax.
You slip on your nightgown and sigh in relief as you sink onto the bed. There are so many things you want to do right now, but they're all subsided by one thing you want to do most of all: sleep. Your eyelids are so heavy that you don't even bother to keep them open. You just wrap yourself in the covers and feel yourself drift off in its warmth.
A few hours later you jolt awake at the sound of your room door closing. You don't even bother to look up because you already know who it is. Normally, you would jump into his arms to greet him, but tonight wasn't one of your usual nights. "You're interrupting my beauty sleep, husband." you sarcastically mumble under your breath. "And we'd hate for that to happen now wouldn't we, my snowdrop" Bi-Han grumbles in response. There was something strange about his voice, you couldn't tell whether he was tired or if he was trying to speak in a deeper more menacing tone. It wouldn't be the first time he did it. But you yourself are too tired to care.
With a huff, you roll away from him so you won't have to look at him. Whenever you are tired, you always find yourself in such a grumpy state. It is like you become a whole other person. Someone more sarcastic, petty, and mean-spirited. You were upset with Bi-Han, and you didn't know why exactly, you just knew you were. It could be because of how overworked you have been lately thanks to his sudden ambitions, or maybe it could be because he betrayed his brothers because of his ambition, it could even be a result of you being touch starved, it has been quite a while since you are your husband had any intimate moments. Nether the less, here you, too tired to even think straight.
As Bi-Han pulled open the covers, he froze for a second, Something got his attention. You feel his eyes linger on you. "What is it?" You ask. "...It is nothing" he responds as he quickly slips into bed. Why was he acting so weird? Did he see something? Never mind, you think as you close your eyes. You'll ask him about it in the morning.
After a few moments, you finally found the perfect position to make you comfortable. After that, it was no trouble to doze off, that was until you were rudely woken up by a Bi-Han as he begins shit around in bed. Tossing and turning in different directions. You try your best to ignore it, but his near-constant shifting in position begins to get on your nerves. Twice already has he now interrupted your slumber. You were starting to really get annoyed by him now.
In a sudden move, you jump to a sitting position. "Alright, what is the problem," you ask, this time with more fire and fury in your voice "What's wrong?". With that, Bi-Han rolls over to face you. As he does, you feel something brush up against you. Something hard, yet soft at the same time. You freeze in surprise, too stunned to react. A shiver runs throughout you.
"Are you kidding me?" You finally say. Suddenly it made sense why he acted so strange and was looking at you. "What?" He asked as he leaned up and rested on his elbow. He stares at you with a hardened glare, as if he's almost annoyed himself. "How can you be like this at this time?". Bi-han shrugs and refuses to break his stoic manner even in this circumstance. "I cannot exactly control it." He answers. "So? Do something, put it away. Use your snow magic or something.", "That's not how it works." He said as he rolled his eyes. Bi-Han was obviously feeling very frustrated at the moment but you couldn't help but see a slight smirk attempting to form. "If it bothers you so much...why don't you help alleviate it," he says as he sits up fully, sliding off the covers to fully reveal his erection. The shape of his giant cock pointed a bulge into his night clothes, it grabs your attention immediately. A flustered feeling begins to erupt inside of you as blush spreads all over your face. "Is that a yes, snowdrop?". "I'm tired, Bi-Han., I'm not in the mood to do any more work". He slides closer to you, gifting you a closer look at his "sword". He begins to kiss your neck which causes a sensation to spread throughout your body. "Who said you had to do the work?" You sigh and look at him in the eye, "Fine," You hotly say "Fuck me."
...
"OH MY GODS!" You cry out at Bi-Han rams his dick inside you. You felt its girth and its size fill you entirely. It's humongous, it's almost overwhelming. "That's it, my snowdrop, scream for me." Bi-Han huffs as he grips the headboard, it breaks slightly under his fingers. His other hand is free, and around your neck as it slightly chokes you. If you paid enough attention, you'd notice that a subtle cold wave flowed from his hands and kissed the skin around you causing you to get goosebumps.
But you couldn't notice it, his beautiful cock was so deep inside you that you couldn't even think straight even if you wanted to. It felt so amazing, but too much at the same time. It almost felt like he was about to split you in two. "Oh, Y/n, you're so wet for me aren't you, snowdrop?" he teases with a smirk, he enjoys how much power he has at the moment. Seeing that you squirmed around in pleasure did something for his ego that simple kombat could not.
He looked at your nightgown and he grabbed it and ripped it off of you like it was paper. His eyes burned with lust at the new view now before him. With a pleased sneer on his face, he continued to ram hips in an almost wild motion. Bi-Han loves you, or at least you think he does, but the way he is fucking you almost feels like he hates you with a passion.
"Could Kuai make you feel like this?" He suddenly asks. "What?" He begins to thrust even faster by this response. "Could my brother make you feel this good?" He questions again. "He couldn't" You gasp. "Could that bastard Tomas make you feel this way?" He asks again. "Not even in the slightest." You try your best to respond with. It was obvious he was high on how powerful and amazing this made ehim feel this was no new thing. He sometimes likes to do things like this to feed his ego, unfortunately, it was even bigger than his dick.
"Liu Kang, Raiden, Kung Lao, Johnny, Geras, could any of them satisfy you like I do?" He haughtily questioned. You could feel both of your climaxes slowly arriving. "N-no." you wince as you feel the release coming. "Would you rather stay asleep than let me fuck you?"
"Yes." You say. Without a warning, you rise up and grab Bi-Han and somehow you are able to throw him onto his back. He had gripped the headboard so hard that it shattered at your sudden action. Now on top, you begin to bounce up and down on his dick. You began to pant and huff and even curse under your breath as you tried to not lose your breath. "I...was hoping... to get a good night's rest... but thanks to you...here I am." You force out your mouth between each pant. Bi-han was taken by surprise by this, but he couldn't lie, seeing you try to take control was something very amusing to him. He took one hand and placed it onto your hips to adjust your rhythm. With the other, he used to grab at your chest and he started to play with your nipple. You gasped as you felt slightly cold, he was using his powers again.
He stopped finally and placed both of his hands on your hip. He violently pushes you down, stopping your bouncing. As he does this, you both finally climax. A rush of relief rushes through your body causing you to scream at the top of your lungs and through your head back.
After some time, Bi-Han finally softens his grip and releases you. You fall on your back beside as you both try to catch your breath. "Bastard, that was my favourite nightgown," you say finally. Bi-Han can't help but laugh at this remark. You suddenly feel two strong arms around you, Bi-Han pulls you close and rests your head on his chest. You hear his heartbeat as it provides a soothing rhythm. He grabs the cover and buries you both with it. A smile finds its way onto your face. You melt into your husband's warm embrace, and your bodies entwine as they share each other's warmth. Your eyelids get heavy as you finally drift off.

Ahhh if maybe I can request a continuation from the Guinevere!Reader request? Like after the events of 7DS when Arthur gained Chaos he slowly starts to change to how he is in 4KOA. She gets worried and Arthur assures her that he's still the same but seeing as the change becomes worse she soon after escapes and goes into hiding in hopes of finding a way to save him until after the incident in Liones (4KOA) and later is brought back to Camelot. (We'll assume Guinevere!Reader has the same power as...the loli but did a better job in hiding her powers.)
OoohhhOHHhoo this is very interesting! Specially with the trailer of the Anime recently🥺 Thank you for the Request ❤️❤️
Arthur Pedragon King of Chaos x Guinevere!Reader: 4 knights of apocalypse.
Genre: Headcanons
Reader: female
Warnings: SPOILERS FROM THE MANGA OF NANATSU NO TAIZAI AND 4 KNIGHTS OF THE APOCALYPSE!! Arthur with chaos, Angst- some comfort, some soft yandere?? rather Arthur in 4kota being his own warning, reader has the power of a kaleidoscope (can see the future), mentions of death, somewhat long work, I think that's all.
FIRST PART FOR CONTEXT
You didn't like to remember what happened during the holy war. Neither of the you two wanted.
All the humans who died, the friends lost, how Arthur had died, even if it was temporary, it was something that would remain forever in your mind and heart.
only for the total destruction of Camelot to occur shortly after.
The war was won, yes, but at what cost...
It took a toll on both of them.
A part of you felt guilty for not having been able to prevent this future scenario with your power, but Arthur was always quick to tell you you didn't have to feel that way, after all going against destiny was much more dangerous and unpredictable.
Arthur, even with all the loss he had suffered in that time, was happy that you were safe and by his side, he wouldn't change that.
Even if the words of support felt good, you could see right through him, and how the situation had definitely damaged him severely.
not only for his lost arm, but for his damaged spirit.
and it was something else that changed him...
The chaos.
Of course, at the time you did not accept that Merlin used Arthur as a vessel for that thing, but it was not in your power to decide, now, with things as they were, you could see more clearly how Chaos affected Arthur.
Even if it was in his general aura, it made him more threatening, colder...menacing.
He did not direct this attitude towards you! With you, in general terms, he was still the same Arthur that you fell in love with, that you married... but he started to change little by little.
Arthur became considerably more clingy after all the trauma he had gone through in the holy war, at first you even considered it normal, if it weren't for the fact that later it could have been seen as a warning sign.
Arthur is more clingy with chaos, he slowly clings to what he has left in the war, in this case, YOU.
For this reason, he begins to show certain tendencies or amplify those he already had, for example, his protection over you.
I have the personal hc that at first Arthur's outbursts due to the chaos only came to light (initially) in moments of high tension(like in the anime), so the first stage of "infection" so to speak passed quite unnoticed.
However, it does not mean that it did not have worrying moments.
Related to the above, Arthur would literally have quite serious fits of rage if you went on, for example, a small reconnaissance mission with Knights and ended up injured.
and I'm not talking about just "getting angry" I mean he might even deploy his sword with them (you'll have to do something if you want the Knights to come out alive, another warning sign...).
At this point, Arthur begins to show more of the side we see in 4kota, although quite Lowkey.
but it doesn't mean he doesn't say some pretty dark things.
For example, his dislike of other races is becoming more and more evident. especially demons.
Even if you want to understand what's happening to him, you can't, not when you see it and you KNOW that this will end very badly...
I don't think Arthur is confrontational, but you definitely don't sit back and watch him talk bad about the races he fought SIDE BY SIDE in the war. Didn't that matter to him anymore? Now they were all the same to him. the?only evil beings who want to harm humanity?
Arthur has the ability to not shout or take fights to extreme levels, but the worst thing is that he also does not deny anything or leave the argument halfway. which only confirms that his ideas are becoming increasingly solid and dangerous.
Unfortunately you cannot see a future where you change his ideas permanently. at least not now. while Arthur becomes more radical day by day.
but at least you know VERY well what this change is due to: Chaos.
It's the first step in undoing the damage, but it's difficult to do it on your own while Chaos has more and more control over Arthur.
He continues to be a good and loving husband to you... I listen to his opinions and ideas... you don't know what to do.
By the time he has the whole plan to use Britannia to rebuild Camelot at the cost of the lives of the other races and to destroy EVERYTHING in favor of an "eternal kingdom"... that's when you start planning.
you need to find a way to get Chaos out of Arthur.
But first you should get away from him, no matter how discouraging it may be. You love your husband, but for that reason you must leave him to SAVE HIM.
Using your Kaleidoscope, you were able to find the perfect way out of "Camelot" before anyone noticed.
and as soon as you were out of that bubble, you began your journey towards Britannia.
To say that Arthur was distraught at first would be an understatement.
Let's say that at first Arthur thinks you were kidnapped, it's that serious.
He has his knights rushing out to go look for you (fearing for their lives when they return without you or clues to your whereabouts) and Arthur is VERY tempted to go on his own to look for you in every corner of the continent.
but he cannot leave the kingdom for too long. Plus he doesn't want to scare you (when he realizes that you left of your own free will).
and Chaos in a way operates a little on their thoughts so that the following happens.
In the time that follows, you continue traveling to various parts of the continent in search of a cure for Arthur.
Have you tried to go with fairies, with giants, alchemists, magicians, etc.
but you can't find anything useful.
apart from the fact that you are constantly avoiding Arthur's Knights, whether they are specially sent to look for you or they are simply there for "recruitment".
You were able to easily keep a low profile, hiding your Kaleidoscope power from people knowing that that would be what could (probably) give you away.
Having seen everything the small towns had to offer, and unable to return to Carmelide safely by Arthur's knights, you made a hasty decision.
You went to see the deadly sins to ask them for help. but first of all, to King Meliodas.
without knowing that that was precisely what Arthur wanted.
Arthur knew you well enough to know that even if you knew you shouldn't avoid the future, he had to be cautious about when he wanted to bring you back.
From there, he wouldn't care much about the matter of destiny, but definitely with the prophecy of the Knights of the Apocalypse around, he saw the perfect moment to start his plan.
NOW, during this time, Arthur became the version we know of 4kota, deceptively friendly but very lethal, more sadistic, but more relaxed so to speak.
He sees this situation as even fun now (being completely infected by chaos), and he honestly can't wait to have you back and see what trick you had up your sleeve.
The Knights know it, "Merlin" knows it, all of "Camelot" knows it, he misses you. and he is anxious for you to return to him.
He was definitely anxious because you did a good job hiding for so long, he lost track of you many times (it's not like his Knights had it easy), but at least now that he's sure where you're going, he can send someone who KNOWS finish the job at once.
After a while, you arrived in Liones, determined to reach Meliodas, when you saw the vision...
you being taken to Camelot by a knight named IronSide.
damn.
change of plans.
There wouldn't be time to find what you originally came looking for, but maybe you could warn them about Arthur, change things, for the better.
but it would be difficult to keep a low profile, especially knowing that Arthur's Knight would be lurking. It took you a while to get close.
Meliodas was happy to see you after so long! but he definitely got serious when you said your reason for coming was for Arthur. that he was planning something against Liones, that he had to protect the children from the prophecy (especially Percibal).
and not kill Arthur before you could find a cure for him...
It was at that moment that Megagaland attacked.
oh geez, you have to hide again. you thought and went to your current hiding place.
You weren't that surprised to see that someone was already there...
Ironside...
Arthur could feel when you and Ironside entered Camelot, he could only think 'finally'.
finally someone does their job well, finally everything is back to normal-
You are finally back with him.
The feeling he had before of anticipation becomes more palpable, he is anxiously waiting for you to get to where he is, in the throne room.
and he feels calm, knowing that now he not only has the tactical advantage in this little war, but that he has his dear companion with him. What more could he ask for?
He's anticipating what he's going to say to you... after so much time.
Surprisingly you are also anticipating. You don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.
You have closely followed the atrocious acts that Arthur has done in the past and continues to do. He is even willing to kill children in order to follow this "everlasting kingdom" for the love of God...
But you know he won't hurt you. He didn't do it before, he won't do it now. no matter how much it changes.
and even if it is difficult to admit. you miss him. He is your husband after all.
but you also miss how everything was before Chaos intervened.....how you would like to help him-
No, you're going to save him...somehow.
even if now you'll probably have to help him with your kaleidoscope...
is what you think as you go with Ironside to what appears to be the lair of the Knights of Chaos.
You (without Ironside, apparently) are transported to the throne room, and see, for the first time in years, Arthur.
He's barely changed physically, advantages of chaos, you suppose, he looks so deceptively innocent...
and meanwhile Arthur can only be grateful that you are finally here...
Do you have any idea how much you worried him when you left? with nothing to say, just leave... but you came back, he can't be mad at you, not when he's been waiting so long to have you this close again...
Far from being angry or minimally irritated with this "act of rebellion," he seems rather amused, even touched, as if what you had done was adorable...he seems happy.
and in some ways, it's contagious. You don't let your guard down, but you can allow yourself this little moment with your husband...
But when he stands up from his throne, he turns towards you and with an expression that reminds you of when everything was fine, he tells you:
-"welcome home, my queen"-

Will Matsumoto get to do things?
Yeah!
I think how I'm gonna handle Hitsugaya is that He is HER Lieutenant, and Matsumoto is promoted to captain of the 10th after Isshin vanishes.
Hitsugaya is a talented lad, but not "graduated in one year" talented. What happened is that he has Destiny (TM) because an ancient Ice Dragon Spirit picked HIM to carry out The Freezing Over Of Hell, so he's got mad power and skills but he's also functionally 12.
So rather than subject a child to the political hell games of the Noble Houses and other actors in the Soul Society, Yamamoto kicked Toshiro upstairs as soon as he could pass an officer's test, and cunningly put him behind The Iron Menace that is Rangiku Matsumoto so he could mature as a warrior in (relative) peace.
because holy shit
the woman is terrifying if you go with her stats
(Kubo has a regular issue with 'saying one thing about the abilities and motivations of a character and having them act a completely different way', which CAN be a way to establish the concept of an unreliable narrator, but it usually comes off as 'this was slapped together under unreasonable deadlines' malarkey)
Anyway,
Things Matsumoto Rangiku gets to do, in no particular order: -Kick God's Dick in the dick -Confront Isshin Kurosaki about his desertion and terrible parenting skills -Solo an espada and her entire fraccion -Give Senbonsakura inadequacy issues -One of a privileged two people who gets to throw down with Chojiro Sasakibe at full power. -Do A Little Trolling with the Shinigami Women's Association Beach Babe Bikini Calendar :) -Backhand so many people she really shouldn't get away with backhanding but they had it coming
She and Toshiro do have a version of that scene from parks and Rec where he schedules all of her meetings on March 31st because he knows how much she hates meetings and mixed up how many days were in March and April, so he thought he'd been tricking everyone into meeting her on a day that doesn't exist.

Exploring character dynamics: Blades
Blades and Heatwave: Very Older Brother, little brother dynamic. They would die for each other and brag about it later. They would also definitely roughhouse if Blades didn’t any know better. Also Blades trying so hard to imitate HW in part 2 of double villainy. He wanted to be a good leader too
Blades and Chase: Autisim vs ADHD if robots. They balance each other out perfectly. Just put them together and I’m already smiling cause I know I’ll have a good time. “What’s sooner than immediately?” “I have no idea” 
Blades and Boulder: ADHD vs AuADHD. These two are a menace. They always do the craziest things together. I’m honestly surprised the writers didn’t exploit that more. These idiots kidnapped a lion. I love them. I’m also pretty sure that Boulder learned a lot about first aid from Blades since more often than not he’s the one acting doctor.
Blades and Graham: Their episode together makes me so soft 😭 They’re their both the “weakest” members of their active teams and can sometimes overlook how essential they are “At least they found you… that’s important”
Blades and Kade: Imma be 100% honest, I don’t think Blades could take much of Kade, him considering Mr. Pettypaws a better partner says it all. He wouldn’t get angry, just more and more annoyed and sassy.
Blades and Cody: Watching the show, I noticed that Heatwave and Boulder are closer to Cody, while Blades and Chase dare closer to their partners. Still though, this bot was fresh on earth, dealing with the fact that he would have to fly despite his fears and still said “For Cody”.
Blades and Chief: Dad and son. He was so exited to be paired up with the chief, adorable.
Blades and Dani: HSKEBSKA THESE TWO HOLY SHIT!!! Sassy as all can be. Big sister - little brother, man you can feel the love in this relationship. Dare I say it’s the most develop? Like, it doesn’t grow the same way Heatwave and Kade do, but you can feel this closeness. Blades is extremely protective of Dani and Dani is so encouraging of Blades, even when she considers something his doing as silly she’s there for him 🥹 ARGH, when she left for her space mission and he had to transform and didn’t get to say a proper goodbye, that shot of him as a helicopter just there, when she cried the moment she heard his voice 😭😭. How they’re very verbal about their affection and bring the better out of each other (Dani becomes kinder and Blades is always developing his skills) I love them so much. They’re gonna be great leaders in China and I WISH WE GOT TO SEE THAT.
AAAAA THANK YOU FOR THIS ANON THIS IS BEAUTIFUL 😭❤️❤️❤️🌷✨
Allow me to share my thoughts as well :D
Blades and Heatwave: I agreeeeeee!!!! I feel like Blades looks up to Heatwave and admires his skills, and i wholeheartedly believe he tries his best to make Heatwave proud, something he doesn’t actually need to do, cause Heatwave is already proud of him, HW just never says it outright, but you see it in how protective HW is of Blades and how he’d actually do the things Blades ask him to
Tumblr media
Heatwave is protective of all his team, but he’s even extra protective of Blades, their relationship reminds me of the lil bro who gets bullied but keeps it a secert only for the older bro to find out and go beat the shit outta the bullies, getting hurt in the process
You know for a fact HW has been in so many fights just to protect Blades, he probably fought people just for looking Blades the wrong way <3333
Blades definitely imitates HW sometimes, probably without actually realizing it chchhc, that one episode of him trying to act hardcore and slaming his fist on his palm only to go “ow” is so adorable and i wholeheartedly believe he’s trying to act how Heatwave does
The leader role kinda doesn’t fit Blades, cause he doesn’t know how to act when pressured which the leader role is full of, it’s a role with so much responsibility tied to it, not to mention Blades is more of a free spirit, putting him under a restrictive role can inhibit his outta the box thinking and creativity, and that’s why in part i believe he tried to imitate HW, cause HW is an amazing leader and Blades doesn’t exactly know how to lead, so he goes for the next best option, imitating his own great leader <3
That obviously doesn’t mean Blades can’t lead, in fact I wholeheartedly believe he can and would be really great at it, he only needs a bit of time to find his own footing, to find himself in the role and to adapt to it, he’d definitely be a lot more carefree as a leader, a leader who makes his team always feel safe to approach him with any problems they may have and it’s heartwarming to think about :D
I think the fact Blades can adapt to so many things no matter what life throws at him is his greatest strength, so you can imagine my joy when Blades is assigned leader to his own rescue team in China <333
———
Blades and Chase: YOU GET ITTTTTT!!!!!!! Their characters balance so well for a variety of reasons cause you have Blades, who’s always anxious and thinks of the worst scenarios that could happen with Chase who’s always calm and thinks logically, which means Chase is the best candidate when it comes to helping Blades deal with his anxiety
Meanwhile you have Blades who understands social situations and innuendos and is very invested in pop culture and you have Chase who literally could never grasp social situations and innuendos for the life of him, and isn’t very good at learning the culture he is in at all, so you have Blades sometimes filling that gap
Their personalities contrast so much and that contrast is what i love the most about their relationship!
Also can I talk about how much I adore how they always take care of each other??? There’s a reason I like to believe these two are Amica Endura!!!! They look out for each other and you can tell they’re really close, they always help each other out and it’s always so damn heartwarming <3333
Tumblr media
✨Adhd and Autism solidarity✨

Blades and Boulder: NO LITERALLY WISH THE SHOW EXPLORED THEIR DYNAMIC MORE!!
Tumblr media
They have a lot in common both are artists, one who loves to paint the other loves to make signs and decorations, both love to explore the world, one through learning about the culture and nature, the other through pioneering, and both are very chaotic, these two probably love to go on adventures together sometimes
And as you said, the fact Boulder knows first aid?? He probably got Blades to teach him, i feel like Blades actually tries to let Boulder teach him about engineering too, kinda like listening to each other interests, but the boredom is infinite and his adhd brain can never allow it gugujgvjvj, it probably goes with Boulder talking for hours only for Blades to admit he didn’t get any of it, Boulder completely understands and is happy Blades gives him a chance to ramble regardless <3333
Hope you don’t mind but- *snatches the AuADHD Boulder headcanon* it’s mine now :)
Also can I talk about the fact Blades is good at dancing and Boulder loves dancing but his size doesn’t help? I like to think these two have dancing sessions sometimes!!
———
Blades and Graham: AAAH SO REAL!!!! Y’know I love how they have that in common, it makes a great connection point for the two
Blades and Graham aren’t physically strong, but that’s not where their worth or importance lies, Graham’s strength is his brain and his knowledge in engineering, he literally saved the lives of the entire island multiple times due to his input, whether by stopping his family from doing something that could potentially be a disaster or finding the source of what is causing problems to begin with (like finding the source of the earthquakes that were happening because of the speaker in “shake up”
Blades is agile and fast, really light on his feet and while all that’s good this is not what makes him important, what truly counts is his quick thinking and his amazing sense of the situation, he’s creative and that’s important in a rescue team where rescues always take an unexpected turn, his loyalty to the team is boundless and he always does what’s needed of him even when it’s completely outta his expertise, and this might seem strange to say, but his anxiety is actually a good thing, cause he sometimes does bring up really good points, his anxiety make him think of how a scenario can go wrong in so many directions that the team wouldn’t usually think about and asks them out loud, making the team stop and think, and that’s also really important
So when Graham and Blades don’t really realize how their existence is so damn important it hurts my heart, cause their perception of themselves isn’t the best, they think they aren’t as important which isn’t true at all
They both think low of themselves when they fail and it hurts to see cause everyone fails from time to time and that’s ok
Tumblr media
I adore these two ughhh 😭❤️🌷✨
———
Blades and Kade: TELL ME ABOUT IT CHICCJJV
Like the mere idea of being partners with Kade was completely outta the question for Blades
Tumblr media
HW’s and Kade’s personalities clash head on and that’s actually why their dynamic works, an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object, therefore canceling each other
And it’s honestly kinda funny considering how similar HW and Kade are, they obviously differ in some things, but overall their similarities exceed their differences
Yet we see that Blades is very comfortable dealing with HW, but wouldn’t be comfortable dealing with Kade, and i like to believe it’s in part cause Blades can’t handle really intense people like HW and Kade, but can adapt to them if given time, which Blades did have a really long time to adapt to HW but not so much time to adapt to Kade, so dealing with Kade seems like a nightmare, but we see he does consider it when Kade gives a really good idea only for HW to tell him to “think again”
Overall, I think it would’ve been amazing had we gotten an episode in which Blades and Kade worked together, it would’ve probably been a fave hcchchch
———
Blades and cody: oooh that’s a nice note, I didn’t really notice that!! Tho i’d say Blades definitely loves Cody and loves to spend time with him, “Virtual disaster” is definitely one of my favorite episodes, and I ADORE Blades’ and Cody’s dynamic in that episode
Tumblr media
I feel like Cody and Blades get along so well, and Blades definitely acts like an older bro to Cody
Not to mention Cody seems the best at calming Blades when he’s upset, get his mind off the thing that upset him, like when Dani leaves for her pilot testing and Cody tells him “come on, let’s find enough paint for your sign” and we see how that immediately makes Blades feel a bit better :D
Cody seems to understand that Blades is driven by his emotions and that’s what he focuses on when interacting with Blades, and tbh that’s something I feel like Cody and Blades have in common, they both got really big emotions that require someone to acknowledge, and that’s why Cody always acknowledges Blades’ feelings and vice versa
———
Blades and Charlie: I don’t have much to add to what you already said cause that’s literally it hcchchchvjcj
But i’d love to talk about how Charlie seems to entertain Blades’ desires and child like wonder, gives him a chance to explore his world in his own way and helps him live the role <33
Tumblr media
Charlie is an amazing dad, both to his biological and Cybertronian kids <333
———
Blades and Dani: OH MY FUCKING GOD THEYRE MY FAVORITE PAIR OF PARTNERS!!! And i agree! I think they’re the most developed!
I think Blades’s and Dani’s relationship is the most complex, Dani loves flying, Blades doesn’t, Dani is a risk taker, Blades has saftey as a priority
Their personalities are quite the opposite of each other, but that’s why they work! Blades teaches Dani patience and kindness and Dani teaches Blades to open up more and accept the danger that comes with his work
Their love for each other is literally radiating through space and time zhhxhdh
You can tell Blades becomes really attached to Dani, the episode where Dani goes to space is proof of it, Blades becoming upset at the idea of her leaving is so damn heartbreaking him going “I hate when she leaves” literally tore my heart in two
But what truly gets to me is that by the end of the episode when they have the talk Dani promised? He says “I hope you get it” he’s so supportive of her no matter how much it hurts him or how much he hates the idea of separating
AND I AGREEEE I WISH WE GOT TO SEE THEIR JOURNEY 😭❤️🌷✨
Goddammit I really wanna say more but know when you love something to the point it’s genuinely hard to put into words??? That’s me with Blades’ and Dani’s relationship they’re SO DAMN ADORABLE AND ID DIE FOR THEM
And since words betrayed me here’s one of my favorite scene of them just HSHSHSJHZHSJSJSJSHHSKAKS
———
Damn this got way longer than what I meant for it, hope you enjoyed regardless dhhdhd

GUYS!! I saw Les Mis! In Munich!!!
Let's recap!
The Cast:
Daniel Gutmann as Javert. He was incredible. Definitely my personal highlight. Everytime he sang his voice just ROARED. And he was menacing holy shit. Aggggggh I'm normal about him
Barbara Obermeier as Eponine. When I first heard her sing in Act 1, I knew she was gonna kill it in Act 2. And she did.
Merlin Farcel aka Enjolras. His voice was so perfect I LOVED all the high notes, BUT:
Tumblr media
The beard. Sorry, but in my world Enjolras doesn't have a beard. Plus, it makes him look like Peter Maffay
Madame Thenardier was PERFECT (I don't remember who played her that night😭) She was so funny and the audience really loved her.
The Music:
At first, I felt a bit underwhelmed by the orchestra. To be fair, I listened to the 10th anniversary recording SO much, that I really got used to that grand orchestra sound.
There was an electric guitar and at one point an electric bass when Javert sang, which I really loved.
During Master of the House/ Beggars at the Feast you could really see the orchestra bopping their heads and having fun and that made me very happy
I really loved the brass section, they really stood out (That French Hurn during On My Own????!)
The Costumes:
Tumblr media
I don't know why, but the Les Amis were wearing these caps all the time. I have never seen a production with them in it. Is this a historically accurate thing?? I didn't really like them, they looked very plastic/shiny and fell out of place
I cannot find a picture but in the beginning of Act 1 Valjean wore a pink vest and then a purple coat which both looked very cheap and which I both didn't like (maybe it was because of the light? The colors felt very unnatural)
Tumblr media
Eponine's outfit. At first I thought it didn't look shabby enough. But it looks so badass I'll let it pass
Why don't you let Enjolras wear his red vest??
What is Marius wearing? Goofy boy
Tumblr media
Big Mad Hatter vibes from Thenardier. I loved his and the Patron Minettes outifits, they looked very edgy
Tumblr media
This is perfect. Perfect. I only wished he had undone his hair for Javert's Suicide (he did, but only for the last 10 seconds)
The Stage:
The stage had a turning middle and stairs that could be moved around, similar like in Hamilton.
They did a cool transition with young Cosette walking up the stairs and old Cosette walking down
Also, they had some cool staging with buildings moving around for Stars. But I feel like there was almost a bit too much happening in the background for this song.
I don't know why they didn't have the Barricades turn and show Enjolras hang upside down. It's such a cool/tragic moment!
During the Barricade scenes, the stage sometimes felt a bit empty. I mean, there were always like 15 people standing around. Maybe the Barricades were to small/not high enough
Empty chairs at empty tables. Where were the empty chairs and empty tables??
In Everyday/A Heart Full of Love Reprise single leaves started falling down on the stage (Like Valjean entering the Fall/Winter of his life) I loved that.
Also, the parallel of Marius learning to walk again using a cane, and Valjean loosing his ability to walk using a cane. I never noticed this before!
There are SO many cool things about the staging I could talk about here. But I want to mention some other topics as well:
The "Spirit" of the Show:
There wasn't a single French flag to be seen. Some red ones, but no French flags.
In the trailer, the director said he wanted to create a more universal setting, speaking to everyone in the audience
I think that's a great sentiment but like. Everyone has French names. There were titles above the stage telling us the year and locations (Places in France) of the events. The title of the show is French.
So I think adding the flags (aka a bit more French nationalism?) would have seemed a lot more convincing for the cause of the students and the whole spirit of the show
But maybe this also has to do with the show being in German? I don't know and I'd really like to discuss it. Maybe someone here made a similar experience seeing it in another language
And last, but MOST importantly:
What about Valvert and Enjoltaire?
In the Confrontation, Javert and Valjean got really close to each other. And I mean fighting each other and then stopping just to sing directly into each other's faces.
Instead of running infront of the court in Who Am I, Valjean just goes to Javert and rips his shirt open? Okay, go off I guess
In Drink with Me, we have a platonic forehead touch between Enjolras and Grantaire. Sadly, that's all I noticed between them 😔
Also, the fact that Grantaire is supposed to be ugly/shabby/a drinker/a sceptic got totally lost, which really takes away from his character.
Conclusion:
All the actors were good, some of them were FANTASTIC. I'd watch it again just for the guy playing Javert, if I could. God, he was SO GOOD
The music was all it should be, maybe a bit too reserved (but again, this might be because I am so used to the 10th anniversary concert)
I really loved some costumes and I also really disliked some
The staging was great, some choices confused me (flags, barricades etc.)
Would I watch it again?
Absolutely!
To be clear, some of the things here might sound more negative than I actually mean. It's just that I have watched SO many different productions online, that I fixated on all the great performances and how I think they should be done. Of course everyone has different opinions here.
Okay thanks for reading if you made it here. Have a great day!

Okay gang!
I just finished the final episode of the second arc of The Wizard, The Witch and The Wild one.
Tumblr media
Spoilers I guess
Listen Ame awaking the Spirits at the Cottage was beautiful and the last bit with Suvi rushing on her own airship to get to the North Pole was amazing. Right now I want to talk about the scene that made me ugly cry at work for 10 minutes.
Eursulon and Kalaya’s Reunion? Jesus h. Christ. Brennan really said ima make these bitches cry. For me when Eursulon got to the tree I knew what was going to happen. He and Kalaya would reunite and it would be amazing. What I wasn’t ready for was Old Kalaya?! Holy shit. I think why it hit me more than anything in the last episode was because like Kalaya I lost my brother as well. In 2022. There is nothing I would want more is to jump through a portal and find him again. I would love to be an old woman laying on my death bed and him showing up young and strong and know that all my searching wasn’t for nothing.
Kalaya’s reaction to seeing Eursulon again was beautiful, I can’t find the exact quote but the line “I thought there was a world where I was too late.” And fuck that did it for me I was bawling. Like Brennan is a menace. I cannot wait for the next fireside I KNOW @quiddie was crying though that as well lol!
Now that it’s on break, I’ll be starting back at the children’s adventure!

For the Love of Fic: August 21
Now that the busytimes are over, I just desperately wanted to get back to the fic world. And I may have binged a little. No punishments plz. I have a lot of catching up to do.
Tumblr media
Also dang, there's a lot of Jack this time around. There must be whiskey in the water...
🪐 = Year of Themed Creation fic
.
JOEL MILLER
Kindred Spirits by @all-the-things-2020 🪐 It's Anne of Green Gables, but with Ellie and Joel. Really, y'all, this one caught me in my chest and had me tearing up more than once watching Joel come back to life for the love of a new daughter. My heart!!!!!
Surrender Chapter 10 and Chapter 11 by @ezrasbirdie So now we've gotten to the end of Kin and I'm still tense about Joel and Ellie even if I understand that their story will lead them back to Jackson. But now I'm just worried about Daisy. She's so vulnerable, so convinced that love is an accident or will always be so fragile and fleeting, I'm so afraid she'll run from it before she has a chance for it to really sink in. I just want to smoosh her and never let her go.
.
EZRA
Taking Root by @the-blind-assassin-12 This short story takes place in an existing Ezra storyline, but you don't need to know that series to appreciate this fluffy bit of lovely, heartwarming give and take between Ezra and Cee as they make a gift for someone they love and care for.
E is for Exhibition by @butchmandalorian 🪐 Pro dom!Ezra is back, my beloved, and this time it's sex in a movie theater. He is such a menace and loves his work so much. I really wish the man was real. I am not a BDSM girl, but there's just something about butchmandalorian's Ez that gets me in all the right places.
Kinktober in June: Focus by @leslie-lyman Holy balls, y'all. This is mesmerizing in every single sense of the word: a little hypno-kink will do ya. Even without his arm and his humanity, Ezra still has many skills. The ability to manipulate and get what he wants. A silken voice. Patience. And apparently, that's all you need too.
E. - "Are you sure you're ready for this?" by @missredherring A drabbled writing exercise wherein Miss Red takes the prompt out of the smut box and into a softer place. Which is totally my jam.
Miles and Time by @never--doubt 🪐 Have I said yet how much I love Ezra? Or soulmates? I've never seen this mechanic before--the one where you have numbers on your wrist counting down the distance between soulmates. I love it. There's a lifetime of angst, but man, Ezra's worth the wait.
.
JACK DANIELS
Draft Release: Dial Up the Jack, Dim the Whiskey by @artemiseamoon 🪐 You know, I had the same reaction to Jack that OFC Bria does here. Initially, I thought he was ridiculous and full of ego, not worth losing my heart to. But she gets to see the Jack that's deep down inside that Whiskey persona and...well...never say never.
untitled by @brandyllyn Hi would you like to be punched in the heart with just 600 words? Why don't you read what happens when Jack comes back from taking another bullet to the skull? I feel like this could be the prologue to a story that could end up so so sweet...but damn, that last sentence is a doozy.
Saying I Love You With Flowers by @songsformonkeys 🪐 I'm not really a flower person myself, but if I was getting them from y crush constantly, I could be converted real fast. Is there anything as lovely as when Jack's both a scamp and a gentleman all at once? He's the master at it and I am a puddle at his feet.
How Wrong You Are by @haylzcyon A short and sweet piece wherein Jack professes his care in the aftermath of a sketchy getaway. Haylz is never over-saccharine, but hits all the notes just right, just like a damn fine Whiskey indeed.
Bangathon: Position: Kneeling Reach Around (with Marcus Pike) and Position: 69 by @prolix-yuy My goodness, LJ is great at the smut and I love how she writes Jack. He's a confident lover, putting the object of his affection exactly where he needs them...and where they will soon understand they need to be. He may go after what he wants, but he never pushes too hard and always makes sure it's what they really want. I would 100% want to be in this man's mustachio'ed embrace. Yee-effin-haw.
.
JAVI GUTIERREZ
Music Box: Prologue by @beecastle Aw yeah, we're getting Little Mermaid AU! This is a quick prologue setting us up for wanting more--both in terms of story AND in terms of the reader character wanting to learn more about humans. I'm hoping there's a certain sweet human in her eyeline soon....
To Your Rescue by @flightlessangelwings 🪐 Oh to be in the employ of Javi Gutierrez. To have his attention, his yearning looks, his protection. Really, my favorite thing would be to fall asleep watching movies with him...and you'll get that here too.
Litha by @grogusmum 🪐 Javi and his beekeeper girl are sweet as honey and I'm not gonna shy away from saying so. I love that he appreciates her taking an interest in his hobbies and family celebrations and shows that he cares for her interests by helping her celebrate a sweet Midsummers!
.
MARCUS MORENO
Taste by @@radiowallet I generally don't read Marcus but I will always ALWAYS make an enthusiastic exception for Cat's Marcus. He is a true hero, both sweet and confident, pulled so ardently by his needs but really getting off on saving the day for you. And, of course, there's Cat's style of writing which is song in itself. If anyone can make me fall in love with period sex, it's her, it's Marcus, it's this sweetly smutty fic in all its soft, yearning glory.
.
TIM ROCKFORD
First Mistake by @hopeamarsu 🪐 I am really delighted by this little character study. Hopes took what we see in the trailer and turned it inward, focusing on Tim's physical sensations and trains of thought. The way he registers the take-out he's eating, how he craves the whiskey in his desk drawer, his frustration as he looks at the clue board trying to make that crucial connection. It's a beautiful little piece, simple and yet full of so much.
.
PERO TOVAR
untitled by @writeforfandoms I am such a sucker for Jen's modern-not-modern Pero. He is learning, but still such a menace and a hedonist that I can't help but giggle at him and adore him in equal measure. I love when his puppydog nature rears its head like it does here as he tries to keep his reader all to himself on a nice picnicy day...
.
JAVIER PEÑA
The Third Date by @lowlights What Laura has done here is pretty much described my perfect third date with Javier. I mean, it's Javi being soft, giving his attentions, doing soft naughty things in public. But even more than that, it's tacos, y'all. Sign me up.
.
DIN DJARIN
Year of Small Joys: Stargazing by @keldabe-kriff 🪐 I love that Lyr is focusing on small joys. It's totally my jam to see my favorite characters just having a moment of peace or happiness, just to see their reaction to something I find lovely or to hear their thoughts about something I'd never stopped to notice. This time it's Din and stars, which really should be old hat for him. But he still finds a beauty in stargazing...
.
OBERYN MARTELL
2023 Summer Kiss Prompt #8: Oberyn Martell - Apology Kiss / Jealous Kissing by @something-tofightfor I might be living for this modern AU playboy Oberyn and his proclivity to be vulnerable in my presence, to open up and be real when hurt feelings are on the line. He did wrong, but I think he'll make up for it, and boy howdy do I want to be on the receiving end of that.
.
SPECIAL GUEST CORNER
OBI-WAN KENOBI
A Chance Taken by @ghostofskywalker 🪐 I know that Obi-Wan has his duty, but wouldn't it be nice if he always harbored feelings and had plans to settle after the war? This one is living that dream....I wants it.
.
BOROMIR
The Advice of Hobbits by @ironmandeficiency I mean, nobody should take advice from Merry and Pippin. And so it goes without saying that nobody should take love advice from Merry and Pippin. Ever. Poor Boromir. But I'm not gonna lie. The results are pretty cute.

Entries from the Sidelines - Jotaro x Reader
Tumblr media
Synopsis: A series of journal entries from a random student that is simping over you, not knowing that you were no longer free to date thanks to one menacing delinquent.
November 14, 1988
You won’t understand it at first but there are 2 things that are currently taking over my life right now.
The first one is weird and that’s me being able to see… ghosts? Demons? Spirits? I don’t know but I see them sometimes on a few people and they can do stuff. And then there’s my ghost.
Yeah. Yeah, I have my own personal ghost and I’m not sure if me having one is wackier or others having one is. Though gotta say my ghost is pretty lame and useless compared to the rest. It’s just some sort of magical keychain that doesn’t do anything but transform into ordinary stationary.
But enough of that, there’s still the second thing.
I have a crush. Like a massive crush on this girl who’s my classmate and former groupmate that one time.
Her name’s Y/N L/N and she’s one of the most talked about students around school and for multiple reasons.
Where do I begin about her? She’s really pretty and majority of the guys thinks so too. She does well in her studies. She’s friendly and welcoming. And I’ve heard she can sing too! I wish I could hear what she sounded like.
There must be something she had done for those 50 days of absence last year for her to improve this much compared to when I first saw her.
Talk about her absence was the gossip of the school, together with that scary delinquent who also was absent for 50 days. Many speculated they sort of cut classes together but I believe those were just rumors jealous girls made up so they wouldn’t think of that student as anything but single.
Though honestly seeing a guy and girl absent for the same number of days does seem suspicious, so I don’t blame them.
I should start connecting with her sometime soon, get that social points you know? And maybe by February or March, I’ll be able to confess my feelings to her.
Wish me luck!
December 14, 1988
Oh my god I actually managed to talk to her for the first time since our group project.
I intended to start as soon as possible and so I waited for the perfect time to approach her, and by appropriate time, I meant sometime around our snack or lunch break, or if I’m lucky, I’d be able to finish club activities and meet with her after classes.
So let me tell you how our conversation went.
After I mustered enough courage, I sought her out on one eventful snack break. Evaluating my performance, I did a pretty crappy job.
I stuttered a lot, my cheeks were fuming like crazy, and I couldn’t hold eye contact for more than 5 seconds. Fortunately for me, she was super understanding of my incapability to speak straight and that just made me even fall harder for her.
For that past hour, she picked up all of what I wanted to say through my broken sentences and even I was looking like a complete and utter fool, she wasn’t fazed by it at all and she even smiled at my goofiness. SMILED. Can you believe that?!
What a win, am I right? Well, here’s a bigger win: She can see my ghost thingy!
She called it a “Stand”? For some reason? But she was surprised that I had one, I asked why, and holy crap, she had one too! It was way cooler than mine- indestructible fabrics that she can shoot out or shield her body with.
A double win for me that day!
So, after that break, I was determined to maintain this friendly rapport we had so I urged myself to tell her If it was alright if we kept meeting up like this, and she said it was fine! I am making progress with her in no time. When she wasn’t too busy, we would meet up often on snack breaks and the seldom after-hours period.
Though I gotta say, after every meet-up we had, I always felt like someone was glaring at me from the shadows, but at the same time, it could just be my usual anxiety trying to distract me.
I offered to meet her up during lunch time, since I’ve heard it was a recommended time for people to bond, but she kept refusing the offer and said she was meeting with someone else during that time.
Honestly?... Made me a bit insecure because it could imply that she was meeting with another man, but I forced those thoughts out the drain and came with the rational thought that it was probably with a group of female students. She was a social butterfly after all.
By the time I’m writing this, I have attained “friend” status with her and I consider that win for me, since it was better than staying in the level of “groupmate” or “acquaintance”.
I’m seeing hope for this! Perhaps I’ll achieve that “boy” before the “friend” by March!
January 14, 1989
Valentine’s day is on the next month and the status of “close friend” seems to be in my favor.
I say that but I noticed how every other guy in school approached her even if it was for a minute or 2. I have a hunch they were thinking the same thing too. She was as accommodating as she was with me when we first met that day, but I swear I could see the slight discomfort in her body language when engaging with them.
That discomfort wasn’t present whenever she was with me.
Ha! Good thing I started early! Serves them right for picking on me for being a nerd.
I kept up with our regular meet-ups and I’d say progress with her is going better than expected! She began sharing random trivia facts about herself and I said mine in return and she smiles more too! Yes, all according to plan.
But something came up when I stepped into school for the first time this year.
I had to be extra early for a school project and so by being early, I get to see most of the students arrive to school, including her.
Here’s the thing.
Remember when I said every guy approached her at least once to try and get into her good side? I meant that literally and they were all either the good-looking ones or the troublemakers who always picked on me. However, there was the one student who didn’t bother trying to get close to her.
That very tall, tough-looking delinquent with the ripped hat and golden chain who looks like he could snap anyone’s back anytime with no problem.
He was pretty much the delinquent of delinquents because every other bad student with an attitude who ever crossed his path physically cowered and turned away as if they didn’t want to be in a fight with him.
And because of his infamous nature, of course every female student would congregate around his presence, squabbling for his attention like seagulls.
All except for her.
And it felt like a heavy weight doubled with another weight were lifted off my chest knowing the school’s darling and infamous bad boy weren’t interested in each other.
But going back to that early period before classes bit, she arrived minutes after I did and the second she stepped into the building, all the guys began quietly murmuring to themselves about her, how they’re totally gonna receive sweets on Valentine’s from her. To which I rolled my eyes at.
Then after another few minutes passed, the loud noise of girls from a distance was an enough of a tell that that delinquent arrived as well.
She was standing by the lockers that time, fixing her stuff as he walked by with his flock of fangirls behind him.
And then this happened- A single strip of her Stand’s fabric shot out from her side, and then at the same time, a muscular purple arm manifested out of the delinquent’s back to reach forward and gently grasp the fabric that wrapped itself around the hand.  
The heck? That guy’s got a Stand too?! A cool one at that?! And it’s holding her Stand??!
It was brief but it was strange. What’s stranger is that when that happened, she was smiling with pink on her cheeks the same time that guy tipped his hat over his face. And then they went on their merry way as usual.
Had to up my ante after that happened. Gotta say… she hasn’t noticed my growing insecurities and she’s still pretty close to me.
Like my parents said, as long as I believe in my goals, it’s bound to happen!
February 14, 1989
The day arrived! And even if I admittedly think I did pretty poor job in establishing a bond with her, the events of what had happened turned out quite great actually!
So let me tell you.
When snack break happened, all the girls began their move and started giving out chocolates. Some of my classmates got one, others who are kind of in my level didn’t get any (to which I call foul), the bullies got at least one too though I think they threatened a girl to get it, the male faculty got some appreciative chocolates…
And then there’s the egregious number of candies being given to that delinquent. I’m talking about a full circle of girls either placing their chocolates on his desk or in his locker that came with sticky notes of love.
Just to double check, I kept an eye on both his desk and locker if she did the same as they did. Creepy I know but… at least I’m not actively stalking anyone. Just on watch-out.
And good news! When she began distributing a piece of chocolate to the boys she acquainted with around school, she didn’t leave one at any of his belongings.
When she found me that time, let me tell you she gave me… a small pouch of chocolates! A POUCH! Instead of a piece or two! She had this beaming smile on her face and I, of course, was a proud flustered mess when that happened!
And oh, to see the look of disbelief on those bullies and pretty boys. Man, that felt really good!
I think she’s into me!
It’s pretty much a guarantee that she’ll accept my confessions next month based on what just happened.
 A bright future awaits for me!
February 14, 1989
That clingy bitch!
Who does she think she is showing off like that to Jojo?!
Here I thought I gave the best homemade chocolates in school. Every boy had found them delicious and had said it was the best because it is! I made them myself and I packed them in a neat red box with white crumpled paper fillings, topped with a silk white ribbon.
I had full confidence he’d be bringing that home for sure while he threw away the rest. So, I waited to see what happened at the end of classes. And this absurd shit happened!
Jojo was standing by the gate, cigarette in his mouth like the hottie he was. BUT IN HIS HAND WASN’T MY RED BOX!
Instead, in his possession was a navy-blue bento-sized box with an assortment of sweets inside, wrapped around with a silky rose-gold ribbon. AND THEN, she rushed out of the building towards Jojo and they walked out of school grounds. TOGETHER. AGAIN.  
SERIOUSLY. I’m surprised they aren’t dating yet though I’m pretty sure he’s gonna turn her down because he’s always like that with the multiple others before her.
Good thing that little eyeglass nerd that’s simping over her wasn’t there to see that bullshit. Don’t think he’s gonna handle the sight like me.
I’ll get him next time. Watch out Y/N!
March 14, 1989
I’m sad.
I feel like curling into a ball and wallow in my own embarrassment and sadness from what just happened.
So, if you weren’t aware… today was White Day a.k.a. the day where the guys give the gifts this time. Obviously, my gift was this letter I wrote for her and a rose I bought nearby, all meant to be an aid for my confession towards her.
All the guys I mentioned before had their own little penchants and gifts ready for her, and I watched her receive them with the same friendly smile she’d give to anyone. And I had to steel myself to remember that she didn’t feel comfortable with those guys months ago and she was accepting them out of politeness.
While they were busy with that, I waited for the right to confess.
I read that the best time to confess was when she was alone so when I thought of that, I figured it was around dismissal where most of the students already went home.
Alas, cue to the end of classes period where the sun was about to set and the crowd was minimized to a handful of students. I was sweating bullets when I waited for her by the entrance. I had the letter and rose in hand ready to be given.
When I heard her giggles, I gave one last pep talk to myself and faced her.
I tell you, the moment I saw her, my chest collapsed in on itself. She was still the same pretty girl I’ve bonded with for the past months, but in her arms was a huge brown teddy bear holding a bouquet of roses.
She saw me. And I began coughing nervously. I thought to myself who??? I didn’t see anyone give her anything that big during class hours.
As usual, she smiled at the sight of me standing there like an out-of-place weed and asked why I was still at school. Oh god, I fumbled so bad with my words, nothing was coming out like how I practiced back at home.
I kept saying how much I admired her and everything and so far, she was flattered by my mess of a status, and before I had the chance to confess-
The delinquent stepped behind her, hands in pocket, smoking as he glared straight at me. LIKE FULL ON DEATH GLARE AT MY DIRECTION.
I nearly peed my pants that time.
She wasn’t at all surprised at his presence, in fact she recognized him standing behind her and she promptly apologized for his intimidating aura.
And oh boy, the next bit fully ripped my sensitive heart to smithereens.
She told me a secret since we were “close friends” to which I now find a curse more than a blessing.
She told me that the very same delinquent that looked like he didn’t give a crap about romance and was giving me the look of death… was her boyfriend who gave her his White Day present to her.
Yes. You read that right. BOYFRIEND. The school’s darling and the infamous delinquent being a couple.
FOR HOW LONG????
THEY DIDN’T EVEN SEEM LIKE THEY WERE DATING TO BEGIN WITH???
But then I remembered the whole “their-Stands-were-holding-each-other-as-they-passed-by” scene I witnessed months ago, and those times where she couldn’t hang out with me every lunch time. Because she’s with him during that period. And those bits made sense now given the context.
She still asked me why I was there because she was genuinely concerned. My stutters worsened more, face was burning with embarrassment, and my hands holding the gifts I had for her behind my back turned clammy.
I tried to navigate myself around the whole dilemma of appeasing her concerns while choosing the right words under the pressure of the delinquent’s solid gaze that was still piercing into my soul. Eventually, I hesitantly gave her the rose without the letter.
And even after my whole mess, she still smiled and accepted it.
After saying out goodbyes, they were on their way and I thought I could relax and be free to burst into bashful tears, but I physically tensed when that guy’s Stand fully manifested in its entirety.
Holy crap the thing’s so jacked it was scary. It had one arm around Y/N’s waist while the purple behemoth looked at me with an icy glare much like its user.  
Hence, here we are- me basking in the darkness of my room while my heart’s still recoiling from the reality of being utterly broken due to Y/N L/N’s sheer kindness and relationship status.
Ah great, I can’t see much now because my tears are clouding my vision.
Time to breakdown. Bye.
March 14, 1989
Wonder why that kid’s so flustered today. We’ve communicated with no problems the past days I knew him. Maybe it was because today was White Day and he’s shy? Most likely.
Though, I think a major contributor to his messy speech was Jotaro just being his slightly possessive self standing behind me, even though I told him countless time that the poor kid just needed a friend.
But I understood where he was coming from- he’s my secret boyfriend and he had to watch other boys give me gifts like I was still single. The teddy bear and roses were really sweet of him though. I still engrained the sight of his blushing cheeks and averted gaze in my mind when Star gave me the gifts on his behalf.
He took me out to a park as one last surprise gift. We saw the stars for a moment and then I stayed over at his place, to which he proceeded to rail me into oblivion, and now I’m here writing an entry into my diary while he continues to cutely snooze beside me.
Poor kid though. He must have been scared shitless yesterday. I think I’m gonna smooth things out with him when classes start again.
For now, I’m going to join Jotaro in his arms again and fall into dreamland with him.
 Until next time!

[JJK OC] The oldest Jujutsu Family - The Shōgun Clan
Tumblr media
“We, who have been at the forefront of the prosperity of this country before you nor I were born. You snatch from the people who helped you grow up what rightfully belongs to us; after being venerated and adored for so many years. We will be what we once were, we will get back what we once possessed. We will lead you to death with the sweet suffocation of our power [...]. All those who oppose us will die [...], those traitors who carry our holy blood.”
Tumblr media
ORIGINS
How to explain the phenomena that occur to humanity has been a common issue worldwide, no matter the place or era. Plagues, diseases, hurricanes, storms, wars, negative emotions, curses, self-destruction… Who would lead humans to their salvation?
Performing rituals has been an activity that has existed forever as well, and it’s a way to thank or ask for forgiveness to those capricious Gods that look down at us with the teary eyes their laughter has provoked after playing with the nature they've created.
Those granted the attention of these powerful beings were adored and followed, considered people a step ahead of humanity and closer to divinities. Not messengers, but a connection.
Tumblr media
The first human to claim to possess this divine grace was Agatamori Geikidenka, the first known sorcerer who lived close to what could be the region of Saitama nowadays in Japan, during the Kofun Era (around year 600).
Agatamori, who was able to see curses and exorcise them, decided to share his knowledge and power with everyone in the village he lived in, after discovering by accident how he exorcised a cursed spirit with what could be his own cursed energy. However, with time, he could confirm that he was part of the low number of people who could see those strange and menacing beings that haunted humanity. At that moment, where he lived, he was the only one who was able to use his cursed energy to exorcise.
The origins of how Agatamori awakened his powers are unknown, but the people who knew him said that the reason must be the illness that carried his wife and son that took their life, believing it was a price to pay for connecting with Gods. Others said it had to be with his characteristic fuschia eyes somehow.
Geikidenka's name began to spread further across the territory, something that made people get interested in living close to a savior. This mindset contributed to the growth and prosperity of his home village, to the point that he was able to remarry again; precisely, to a woman who could see curses, but she couldn’t use cursed energy. Both of them focused on helping their people until the very end.
Their offspring were granted their father’s power, and so, they followed their parents' steps as more and more people followed them. Generation after generation, the Geikidenka’s followed the wishes of their predecessors, becoming a well-known sorcerer family. At the same time, the number of sorcerers grew, and so, the Geikidenka family made sure to create bonds with those. They believed that the more sorcerers gathered together, the better for humanity’s salvation.
Cursed techniques became very valuable, as possessing one meant you were chosen by Gods to guide their human creations throughout their life and protect them from invisible monsters only those connected with Gods can see and kill; those people who could only see curses were considered a failed attempt to become a connection with deities.
And so, with more sorcerers coming up, one could start thinking and seeing that ones were more powerful than others, as well as the growing wide range of different cursed techniques these owned had their differences. This created a constant competition for power between sorcerers who desired and believed that sorcery needed rules and a ruler, where, in the end, every sorcerer joined that war, claiming that those who possessed more cursed energy and those with the most powerful cursed techniques were the Gods’ favorites and the ones who should rule over all sorcerers in the world.
This war was also the starting point of the discrepancies between the growing number of sorcerers, since not all of them shared anymore the same pure thoughts of their predecessors. Hierarchies seemed to grow in importance in the other sorcerer families, and a ranking system was being developed.
Why serve humanity, when they were clearly superior to them?
But those valuable cursed techniques in the user lasted the same as their lifespan, so, when they died, the cursed technique died with them. Just in extremely rare cases, their direct descendants would be able to inherit the cursed technique of the parents or ancestors, this meaning also that when a sorcerer died, there were no guarantees for their offspring to awaken any power.
Tumblr media
In the case of the Geikidenka family, it seemed appealing how Agatamori’s cursed technique was passed down to younger generations without apparent issues and without noticeable changes either. However, when a female member of the Geikidenka family gave birth to children whose father possessed a cursed technique, the child would inherit the exact cursed technique of the father directly. On the other hand, if the father was a normal human, the child would inherit the mother’s technique, which was Agatamori’s.
This was the reason why the Geikidenka's ended up being considered to some extent the sorcerers of fertility, but not in the sense of the ability to give birth to many children, but for the fact that they were capable of conceiving new sorcerers with almost no failure rate.
REALIZATION
After many generations, the Geikidenka’s concluded:
Male Geikidenka family members who possessed Agatamori’s last name will originate an offspring who will inherit:
Agatamori’s cursed technique, when the mother of the child doesn’t possess a cursed technique. In case she possessed one, the chances are randomized.
Female Geikidenka family members who possessed Agatamori’s last name will give birth to children who will inherit:
Agatamori’s cursed technique, when the father of the child doesn’t possess a cursed technique.
The father’s cursed technique, when the father of the child possesses a cursed technique.
Agatamori’s cursed technique can’t merge with another cursed technique.
Said cursed technique didn’t have a name until generations later, and they named it Flow; it lets their users gather their cursed energy outside their body and give shape to it thanks to the ability to play with its state. This meant they had to master to an extent controlling the flow of their cursed energy if they wanted a decent usage of their technique.
Being the Geikidenka sorcerer clan fairly known due to their longevity regarding their existence, their cursed technique was known to many sorcerers, as well as these became acquainted with whatever strange ability Agatamori Geikidenka’s passed to his descendants, which soon would be named Heritage; a subtechnique originated from Flow.
These premises became the starting point of the growing interest of other sorcerers to engage a Geikidenka, preferably a female, mostly to keep their cursed technique and not let it die. If their offspring would be able to awaken the father’s cursed technique, it’ll be easier for him (or his family) to not make the same mistakes he did when he had to learn everything from scratch, alongside other positive traits that it could draw in.
Arranged marriages between female Flow users and sorcerers from outside the Geikidenka clan began to be requested, where a trade would be performed. The exchange included money, properties, special accessibilities to cursed objects or tools owned by the boyfriend… Whatever the Geikidenka’s deemed fair enough to accept the arranged marriage proposal.
Tumblr media
These circumstances only made Agatamori’s clan grow in political power and wealth, something that pleased the members, delighted by how their influence was something to be respected. The thought of believing they were the key to the progression of humanity and their salvation began to spread inside the Geikidenka’s minds, flooding their mindset with egocentrism, greediness and a self-imposed pressure of needing to be at the top of sorcery itself because they thought they were the real chosen ones by Gods, since they felt they were the only ones that could be something close to them.
GROWTH
On the other side, Amaterasu herself granted the people of Japan a ruler born from her own blood, Jinmu Tennō, who would become the very first emperor of Japan. Fate decided that his descendants and Agatamori’s had to meet at some point in history, and this just created the most favorable event for the Geikidenka family of the time.
Tennō’s descendants understood that having the Geikidenka sorcerer clan by their side would be helpful for both, and the empire itself; the sorcerer’s influence, followers, and their ability to guide them alongside their administration, strategy, fighting, and diplomacy skills were exactly what the current emperor believed Japanese people needed to prosper.
And so, a vow was made between the emperor and the Geikidenka family, in which the latter would become the right hand of the ruler of Japan and would provide the empire with men for the army and women to serve them. In exchange, they will have the protection of the emperor and a say during important events that concern the people of Japan, apart from living a life full of luxuries.
In gratitude for such an enormous offer by the family that ruled Japan, the Geikidenka sorcerer clan changed their name to Shōgun, in which they demonstrated their total loyalty to the emperor to the point of changing the name of their ancestor to give rise to a new era for the empire.
While the emperor lived in what would be Tokyo in the future, Shōgun's lived in Saitama. Their estate became the main base for their family meetings and teachings, but continued to be a place to live if you chose to stay. However, if you were a female, that was going to be the place you’d live until you learned how to be a proper wife.
Indeed, after arranged marriages started to gain importance in the Shōgun clan due to the benefit it produced to the family and even more after the offer from the emperor, a large role difference gap appeared between male and female members. When male Shōgun’s took different zones from Japan to control, female members stayed at the estate where all were raised and educated in a subtly way with learned helplessness; their heads were bombed every day with ideas that were etched in their minds to the point where the subjugation was so normalized that none of them were capable of complaining or having their own thoughts.
Tumblr media
They learned they were born to serve their husbands, and no one questioned if that was what they wanted to do with their lives or not.
Mothers, older sisters, and women who weren’t married yet were the ones in charge of the younger female members’ education, apart from trying to innovate in terms of the ability to serve their husbands or other male members. This is how female Shōgun’s added to their duty of being able to master the generation of reversed cursed energy with the only goal of healing.
Times of abundance, growth, and power awaited the members of the Shōgun sorcerer clan; the current head of the family shared part of his responsibilities with his brothers, so the arranged marriages’ deals were able to be carried out with better efficiency. If the deal benefited the clan, and the father approved it, the head of the family only had to check it and approve it as well. He didn’t have much of a say in there as long as the girls’ father or the majority of the important members of the clan were okay with it. However, the preferences were always a high grade sorcerer or a very influential non-sorcerer, since they believed average people wouldn’t possess anything that would awaken the interest of the Shōgun’s.
On the other hand, another duty of the male Shōgun members, apart from controlling different parts of Japan, serving the emperor in the army, and continuing their sorcery activities, was to find the best deal for an arranged marriage for their sisters. In terms of negotiating, one could choose between going to the brother of the girl or the father. Brothers always seemed to be the easy access, so other sorcerers were always interested in getting along with them when they wanted extra points if engaging one of their sisters was in their minds.
The one capable of making the best deals would most likely become the next head of the family, a deserved prize for demonstrating their great negotiating skills.
Tumblr media
DOWNFALL
It was true that the only thing that linked the emperor’s family and the Shōgun’s was the vow where they promised loyalty and cooperation, but that was soon going to be over as a new bond was about to appear. It was the Heian Era now and the current emperor’s son, Gotoba, fell in love with a Shōgun girl, Tsubasa.
The Heian Era is also known as the Golden Era of Sorcery. Wars between sorcerers and cursed spirits became more and more frequent, reaching their climax during this period. The number of growing powerful sorcerers and cursed spirits alike only fed the disturbances.
That wouldn’t be a problem for the young couple to continue with the preparations for their engagement, though. Gotoba used to frequently visit the Shōgun’s estate, as he understood that it would be better if he spent time with Tsubasa at her home; they’d have plenty of time to live in the Imperial Palace.
However, the real problem there was that Tsubasa’s heart never opened for Gotoba; instead, she fell in love with a growing powerful sorcerer. While she lived at the Shōgun’s estate, she could sneak out of the place when no one watched and meet him, yet she knew the risks of her actions. Tsubasa couldn’t help it though, she had already given her heart to someone her family would never let her be with.
She didn’t want to dishonor her family or the empire, it was a terrible weight put on her shoulders just because the emperor’s son got obsessed with her.
What did she do to deserve this?
The Shōgun’s were plethoric with the engagement, even more when it was Gotoba the one interested and offered a lot of political power to the sorcerer clan, since from now on, they were gonna be related by blood. The greediness that was already infecting the Shōgun’s minds reached its most critical point when they realized they were about to become the most important people among sorcerers and non-sorcerers alike.
The engagement between Gotoba and Tsubasa had to occur, and they’d be sure no one would get in the way. And who would, though? At the moment a deal was being considered and accepted, there was no going back, there were no refunds. The girl in question had to leave to live with her future husband at some point, no matter her real feelings, no matter the environment she’d live in after leaving home.
When the future emperor believed he had spent enough time going to her, very egotistically he decided it was time for her to live in the Imperial Palace. And so, Tsubasa moved in with her fiancé, which made her meetings with her lover more complicated, to the point that they were minimal.
Gotoba wasn’t precisely a fool and knew something was going on when his future wife behaved so strange, as if she didn’t want to be there, often daydreaming, leaving the bed they shared many times at night, giving him sorrowful smiles, fake reassurances of her being completely fine…
Until he caught the lovers.
The tension between humans, sorcerers, and cursed spirits reached the point of breaking and a huge war arose. Gotoba, of course, led the forces of the empire, while Tsubasa was supposed to stay in the Imperial Palace…
She didn’t though.
She went to see her lover, worried about him, since she knew he was a powerful sorcerer and that he’d take an important and dangerous role in the war. What Tsubasa didn’t know was that the moment she’d run into his arms, Gotoba would be there to witness it.
Out of pure rage and fury, the future emperor, in disbelief when he saw his suspicions were real after all, took his sword and killed Tsubasa right after her lover was out of sight. Gotoba felt so miserable and deceived that his head got clouded with hatred and disgust at sharing a bed with such an unworthy woman. His bloodshot eyes didn’t allow him to see what he was doing, the state of her body after stabbing and cutting her multiple times was horrendous; blood was splattered everywhere and her body was mutilated.
How could she do this to him, the son of the emperor?
Between screams of pain, Tsubasa didn’t defend or heal herself though. She learned what fate had in store for her as a Shōgun, but she decided to play with it anyway. She knew she could never be with the person she wanted to be, that she could never choose what she wanted to do, or share her thoughts, she could never be taken into consideration, be treated like a person instead of something you could buy and sell… being alive was going to be a living nightmare for her anyway at this point.
And this was the result.
Tumblr media
Her lover found what remained of her body, enough to recognize her, and he unleashed a big amount of negative emotions that seemed to cloud his mind as well, not realizing that his mixed with Gotoba’s, unfortunately, turned her into a Vengeful Cursed Spirit.
Ryōmen Sukuna died, and the war ended, but a new one between the imperial family and the Shōgun’s because of Tsubasa’s betrayal arose. Gotoba made sure to give her family the blade he used to kill his supposed future wife, as a way of breaking the vow they once made. The Shōgun sorcerer clan became the biggest traitor to the empire, and the first thing the emperor did was to strip them of all their luxuries and rights granted, apart from spreading a terribly bad reputation, being able to get them to lose followers and get other people to be against them.
This meant the downfall of the Shōgun clan, sinking deep into disgrace.
When Shōgun’s fell, three sorcerer families emerged that took their place in the world of sorcery, becoming the Three Great Families: The Gojō, Kamo, and Zen’in.
On the other hand, the Shōgun family, totally devastated after what happened, decided they were right to put all the blame on Tsubasa, the girl who sent them to Hell. Shōgun’s lost all reputation, reliability, money, and properties, reducing everything only to their estate, some cursed tools, and the blade that killed Tsubasa.
Tumblr media
A great deal of inordinate hatred arose from the family towards the emperor and towards those who stopped following them, even beginning to doubt the loyalty of some of their own members, especially women. Ones decided to leave the state and start a new life somewhere else, but the majority stayed at the family estate, saving hatred because of such insolence, still in disbelief of how something like this could have happened to people like them.
Shōgun’s knew they didn’t deserve this, their place was at the top of the chain, not at the bottom.
They wouldn’t give up just this easily.
“We, who have been at the forefront of the prosperity of this country before you nor I were born. You snatch from the people who helped you grow up what rightfully belongs to us***; after being venerated and adored for so many years.*** We will be what we once were, we will get back what we once possessed. We will lead you to death with the sweet suffocation of our power [...]. All those who oppose us will die [...], those traitors who carry our holy blood.”
REBORN
The first thing they did was take Gotoba’s blade and consider it the starting point of their resurgence, forging a new weapon that would become the symbol and an eternal reminder for the family:
A scythe.
Soul Eater, a scythe forged using the same blade that killed Tsubasa Shōgun, symbolizing that you’ll find death if you go against the family’s wishes. It’s the most precious cursed tool of the clan nowadays, and it’s treated like a treasure.
The interest of engaging a female Shōgun by other sorcerers was still there, though it became a bit complicated at first, taking into account they were considered the biggest traitors to the empire. However, there was always someone whose cursed technique needed to be passed, and the Shōgun’s could play with that in their favor.
With generations, things seemed to have calmed down. Now sorcery was separated from the world of non-sorcerers to avoid anything similar to the war that occurred, and Shōguns were slowly growing in power and wealth again.
But that wasn’t enough.
The Three Great Families never considered the Shōgun’s a sorcerer family worthy of owning the title of Great, and their business only just made them being seen as a mere cattle production for other sorcerers’ to consume. They weren’t precisely respected, and their women were just a thing to use.
The situation seemed to improve in the present, yet they’ve not achieved their all time goal: becoming great again. However, if the clan itself couldn't be great, then making their members join the other clans and create bonds with them is going to give them what they want by force… just like Tsubasa was going to grant them if she had married Gotoba.
Now, Shōgun’s potential wasn’t something you could take easily, they’ve used to be at the top for a reason after all.
Being part of the most important people in the jujutsu world will always be their goal, their greediness is insatiable, and even more now that a prodigy was born into the family. With most of them being professional sorcerers, staying at the estate for administration, or working around the world as professional sorcerers and becoming well known, something that will never change is the best they’re at: finding a suitable husband for their female members.
One can’t just stop the supply when there is still a demand.

Okay, hand-wavy details but just imagine that Crowley and Aziraphale find themselves on the deck of The Revenge because of fuck you whatever, but Ed is immediately all Blackbeardy like who the fuck are you but he never gets an answer because Crowley couldn't be fucked to pay him any mind. Crowley is actually quite distracted at the moment, because Stede's standing there in all his finery, book in hand, next to Aziraphale, and fuck him for a lark but there's two of them. Just what he bloody needs.
Ed's somewhat cowed, initially, by this lanky guy with weird dark glasses not being afraid of him at all, even though they're the ones that just walked right onto his ship (okay, it's Stede's ship technically but they're co-captains so that's gotta count for something, right?). Sure his reputation may not have been the most brutal as of late, but usually glowering in head-to-toe leather, tattoos on display, got him at least some kind of reaction.
Actually, the guy isn't paying any attention to him at all. There's a legitimate possibility that he hasn't even realized Ed's there.
Cowed descends rapidly into miffed, and he's about to strut a bit to get the attention he fucking deserves when he finally looks over to where lanky and weird is looking and holy fucking shit. Was this some friend or, for fucks sake a relative, of Stede's? It's a ridiculous thought and unlikely considering the lack of resemblance and different accents, but the other explanation is that there's some other gentlemanly fop cruising the sea with a different leather-clad companion and fuck what if there's two of them? It's at that moment that he realizes that the weird guy is looking right in Stede's direction and he does not like the look on his face at all.
Across the deck, Stede, being a gentleman through and through, and Aziraphale, being just british enough to count, decide that tea is in order while they get acquainted. Aziraphale, what a unique name, seems to enjoy literature and Stede has a library he might enjoy! How lovely that this unexpected guest is a kindred spirit!
They turn towards the Captains quarters, Stede laying a friendly hand on Aziraphale's shoulder to direct him while they continue to discuss his plans for a bookshop, but before he can yell to the others to join them, there's a joint exclamation from behind them.
"Watch where you're laying those fucking hands, mate" comes out in Ed's low growl and there's an enthusiastic, "Oi, and just what do you think you're doing with my angel?" from a pissed off Crowley.
Ed rounds on Crowley, full of possessive rage, grabbing him by his lapels and growling in his best 'do not even consider fucking with me I'm the fucking kraken' tone, "What the fuck do you mean your angel?"
It's almost entirely drowned out by twin scoldings from the gentleman on deck.
"Ed, put him down this instant they're our guests!" is yelled in Stede's posh, clipped tone (but something about the possessiveness in Ed's voice and the fierceness in his expression brings something to life in Stede he doesn't have time to think about right now), with a harmony of, "Oh Crowley, darling, must you menace our hosts for sport?" in Aziraphale's school marm tone, while he barely spares a glance at them. Like he isn't concerned at all that fucking Blackbeard has his companion.
Ed's brain takes a break from his minor self-esteem crisis and catches up to him, and he hears angel and darling. It's quite possible Crowley was ogling the gentleman he came here with and not Stede, rendering Ed's dramatics a bit unnecessary. It's also possible that Ed may have shown his hand, if Stede knows enough to read it.
Ed lets Crowley go.
Crowley acknowledges that Ed is there.
"Erm, Ed, I take it?", Crowley says, giving a quarter turn in Ed's direction and no more.
"Yeah, I'm Ed. You're Crawley?" Ed responds, ignoring the eye roll from Stede because he knows Ed heard them just fine and is choosing to be a shit.
"Crowley," is hissed back at him with more sibilance than you'd expect. With an accompanying fond eye roll from Aziraphale, they all head to the Captains quarters, Stede and Aziraphale already deep in conversation like they're lifelong friends and Ed and Crowley begrudgingly walking near one another.
Once a few hours have passed, the tension has lifted. Stede and Aziraphale have moved from the library to the auxiliary wardrobe, and Ed and Crowley are deep in conversation about the stars. Ed gets a feeling this guy knows more about the sky than any man has a right to. His voice when he speaks about them takes on a dreamy quality, more like a memory.
Aziraphale and Stede exit the wardrobe and Ed is not at all surprised to find Aziraphale ensconced in one of Stede's lovely robes (though Ed could swear it used to be yellow, it looks more like cream now - must be the lighting, or the wine) and it seems that Crowley isn't particularly surprised either.
"I see you've made yourself at home," Crowley jokes, his voice laced with warmth and adoration. Something in Stede's chest yearns at that. He doesn't think too hard about why he looks at Ed at that moment either.
"Crowley, you must feel this, it's divine," and Ed sees the underlying smirk a mile away. Must be an old joke between lovers, because Crowley looks a little shocked for a moment before he tosses his head back with a laugh that makes Aziraphale smile ear-to-ear.
Ed and Crowley go back to their conversation while Stede and Aziraphale get more alcohol. Stede has a lovely brandy that they'd adore.
While he's fishing it out, Aziraphale looks at Ed and Crowley, both clad in leather despite the heat, both forces or nature that pull you in until you're completely in their gravity. It's like coming home, he thinks, when he thinks of his dear demon.
"It seems we may have even more similar tastes," Aziraphale says to Stede, looking over at the other two men.
Stede, looking at the bottle he just procured and not at Aziraphale's eye line, responds, "Oh yes, absolutely if you know this vintage. Quite rare but worth it."
Aziraphale realizes he's talking about the booze but replies, "Why yes, I have to agree. Very rare indeed." Armageddon couldn't have pulled his eyes away from Crowley in that moment.
Much later, once angel and demon have absconded from The Revenge under cover of night, Crowley looks over at Aziraphale and squeezes his hand where they're linked.
"D'you think they'll ever figure it out?" he says and Aziraphale doesn't have to ask to whom he's referring.
"Oh, I think they just might." Aziraphale replies with the confidence of a being made of and for love.
As usual, he's right.

*reading the Four Swords Manga to refresh myself after taking yet another break from the Minish Cap figurine hunt, does a double take and almost drops coffee mug*
So was anyone going to tell me Four is the only Link with at least one alive parent still around who actually did something , or was I just meant to find this out by myself when going on a Zelda binge in preparation for TOTK?
Like, this man is a knight that gets captured and brainwashed by Vaati, duels his son thinking he is Shadow, but manages to snap out of it by throwing a dagger at Vaati while disguised as Zelda. He tries to curb Four's reckless tendencies and to remind him not to rush headlong into situations without his allies and to keep a cool head, it's not much but let that sink in like holy mother of Farore-
He couldn't have know that Link was really himself, he couldn't have know that Vaati wasn't actually the princess, yet he actually takes the gamble because even if he is exasperated by his son and isn't around much he actually cares. Honestly it arguably may not be much and their relationship will likely have some strain due to the brainwashing deal but it's something.
Just, let that sink in. Four is shockingly lucky in that department so good on him, him, Twilight, Time and Legend were arguably the luckiest in the parental figure/role model department (if we count Sir Raven for the time he was around after Link's uncle is gone, which I am doing so by the way, Legend really looked up to him and he's his ancestor and actually very hands on with helping him in the Oracle of Ages manga, a rarity in Zelda in general really and his uncle was also really nice. The only one who was quite as lucky to have a parent/role model actually help a lot in the plot was Twilight, because Time's Deku Tree dies pretty early in during Ocarina of Time after raising him with the Kokiri before the quest and thus can't offer him support and is, ya know a tree, kind of limited in action there). Maybe Wind too if we count Linebeck (this man stabs Bellum for the kid even though he's terrified and is disgusted with himself after the brainwashing for attacking him, honestly props and respect to the sea rat), I think we can also count Spirit if he's around due to Alfonzo? Though I haven't played Spirit Tracks in a bit so I could be wrong. Anyway, he's pretty darn decent and involved in the plot rather than just shoving it onto the Link's shoulders for one reason or another (unlike SOME PEOPLE. *Side eyes Gaepora in Skyward Sword for doing the bare minimum even though his daughter is missing and he's implied to have raised Link/Sky with her, side eyes King of Red Lions, side eyes BOTW's King Rhoam because he really wasn't helpful at all to either Zelda or Link and only did the bare minimum for the later, side eyes OOT's king for not believing is own daughter until Link/Time was already traumatized by the events of the game and coming in to spill the tea, side eyes- actually no, Dot's/Minish Cap and Four Swords' Zelda's father is actually half decent.), They could form a little support group or something.
... Now I want a fic where the Chain actually meets the guy and just, gets a lot of whiplash that "Wait a second one of us is NOT an adopted orphan in some fashion?", That or he just immediately integrates himself as a secondary father figure for some of the Chain members, give Time a bit of a break for a change in wrangling these chaotic green clad menaces (affectionate), someone to bond with Rusl and we can know someone other than Twilight has a decent father figure still around. That or the bigger and arguably more comedic whiplash of meeting Sir Raven, who looks like a young Time with hints of Sky what with the cloak.

Devotion to the Holy Face
THE GOLDEN ARROW PRAYER
(3-min read)
From the “Life of Sister Mary of St. Peter”
“𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒉𝒆 𝒖𝒏𝒇𝒐𝒍𝒅𝒆𝒅 𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒎𝒆, 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒎𝒚 𝒔𝒐𝒖𝒍, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒂𝒅𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒖𝒔: ‘𝑴𝒚 𝑵𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒃𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒑𝒉𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒅, 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒏 𝒃𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒑𝒉𝒆𝒎𝒆 𝒊𝒕.’ 𝑨𝒏𝒅 𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒂𝒅𝒆 𝒎𝒆 𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝒔𝒊𝒏 𝒑𝒊𝒆𝒓𝒄𝒆𝒅 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒘𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒅 𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕, 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒍𝒚, 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒄𝒓𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒔.

[August 26, 1843] A violent storm had suddenly burst forth from the fiery heavens and fell in torrents over the city of Tours. “Never,” said the Carmelite sister, “have I realised the justice of an irritated God as at that moment. Prostrate in an agony of fear before the Lord, I unceasingly offered Jesus Christ to his heavenly Father for the necessities of the Church: one of our sisters experienced the same emotions as I.”
According to the doctrine of the Apostles, the phenomena of nature are the visible signs of things invisible and supernatural. The terrible rolling of the thunder and the gleaming of the lightning seemed to be the menacing threats of the Most High. The flashes of lightning were as arrows, ready to destroy the enemies of the Lord.
At five o'clock, she commenced her evening prayer; placing herself in spirit at the foot of the cross, (according to her custom), she lovingly asked of Our Lord the cause of his wrath. Her Divine Master, wishing to try her, changed his usual manner, and said: “I have lent ear to your sighs, and have seen your desire to glorify me; yet, all this proceeds not from you, it is I who am the Author of all holy desires.”
The sister continues: “Then he unfolded his Heart to me, concentrating therein the powers of my soul, and addressed me thus: ‘My Name is everywhere blasphemed, even little children blaspheme it.’ And he made me understand how that dreadful sin pierced and wounded his Heart, truly, more than all other crimes. By blasphemy, the sinner outrages him to his face, attacks him openly, and pronounces upon himself his own judgment and condemnation. Blasphemy is an empoisoned arrow, wounding his Divine Heart continually; he told me that he would give me a golden arrow with which to wound him delightfully, and heal the poisonous wounds caused by sin.”
“The following is the prayer which Our Lord dictated to me, notwithstanding my unworthiness, for the reparation of blasphemy against his Holy Name: he offered it to me as a golden arrow, assuring me that every time I said it, I would wound his Heart most lovingly.”
“MAY THE MOST HOLY, THE MOST SACRED, THE MOST ADORABLE, THE MOST UNKNOWN AND THE MOST INEXPRESSIBLE NAME OF GOD BE ADORED, PRAISED, BLESSED, LOVED AND GLORIFIED, IN HEAVEN, ON EARTH AND IN HELL, BY ALL CREATURES FORMED BY HIS SACRED HAND, AND BY THE LOVING HEART OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IN THE MOST BLESSED SACRAMENT OF THE ALTAR. AMEN.”
The sister here suddenly interrupts her interesting narrative to explain an expression contained in this prayer.
“As I was not a little astonished when Our Lord said and in hell, he had the goodness to make me understand that his justice was there glorified. I beg to remark, that he did not only mean the place where the wicked are punished, but also purgatory, where he is loved and glorified by the suffering souls.”
She continues: “Our Lord, having given me this golden arrow, added: ‘Beware how you appreciate this favor, for I shall demand an account of it.’ At that moment, I seemed to behold flowing from the Sacred Heart of Jesus, wounded by this golden arrow, torrents of grace for the conversion of sinners.”
“This communication” said the sister, “has wrought a change in my soul, for I am constantly occupied in glorifying the most Holy Name of God. Our Lord inspired me to add to the Golden Arrow, some other prayer, to be repeated every hour of the day. He graciously accepted this exercise, desiring that it be promulgated. My Divine Saviour made me participate in his desire of beholding the name of his Father glorified. He exhorted me to praise and bless that adorable Name, in imitation of the angels who are perpetually singing, Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus; that thus I would accomplish his desire, that of honoring his Sacred Heart and the holy Heart of his Mother.”
