i really need to rewatch uwe before the upcoming season finale and properly gather my thoughts on it but i really really like the show! its goofy and cartoony style paired with a serious story about these warriors' souls stuck in an eternal war with the evil, the slight psychological horror of being used as hosts for said souls and almost completely discarded and disregarded (though it doesn't say too much about this, this is more my overthinking), the steampunk elements, the character designs, the voice acting... all of it. despite that i still have some irks with it, like the pacing. this show would've definitely benefited from having more episodes. for such a story heavy show 10 episodes doesn't feel enough. it worked with primal, genndy tartakovsky's previous show, because there was little to no dialogue there. it did an excellent job at making the viewer understand what was happening with mere facial expressions. but uwe characters have a lot to say, a lot to work out between each other. and it's clear tartakovsky wants to tell more. they need more episodes to do that. i hope the show gets renewed for a second season. i need everything that i'm extremely confused about to be addressed and cleared up

#the whole emmalinda thing! she's both of them and neither of them! which woman is taking the centre stage? #it's confusing. everyone calls her melinda. but she's not really herself #everytime she looks at her reflection emma's there instead. so emma is still in the ''backseat'' #this emmalinda has both of the women's memories #she's an enigma to me #dimitri while heavily influencing edred's behavior is just. not there. chilling the background. rolling with whatever (free him 💔) #alfie and seng? i have no fucking idea half the time. they're like emmalinda to me #this whole thing is so confusing.... we need to see the other hosts shining through more. not just emma. just a bit. please. for my sanity #i don't care for the romance. at least now that they are they way they are. emmalinda isn't just one person #so her being pinned with either edred or winston doesn't feel right to me. ''is she into edred? is she into winston?'' #yes and no! no and yes! she's two people!!!!! it's complicated!!!!!!!! forget the romance #it's fair to question their relationships status though considering everything (edred and melinda were lovers for eternity; #emma and winston were about to get married) #but man. whatever #WHY IS THE ELF KINGDOM JUST A FEW KILOMETERS AWAY FROM THE MAIN CITY. why are the elves that edred knew still alive #do they just live that long what the fuck #aelwulf is just going to be stuck pretending to be his brother for the rest of his life huh. that's fucked up. are they not gonna notice #this is a rambling mess isn't it. it's rare for me to go off like this in public i think. i usually keep that all in my head

[stupid-sloot-headcanons]

God dammit I'm suffering from DBH brainrot

Ralph who is so happy to have someone he can make a family with. There aren't any children and sadly, he can't make one with his Darling, but still! Families have lots of different sizes: a man and woman, two men, two women, sometimes a child or children and sometimes none, and even some animals! Maybe he'll find a stray animal or an abandoned android animal to add to his family.

He gives lots of presents to Darling but they're not always good. He DID try to give a burnt opossum to a child and tried to force her to eat it. So it takes a lot of patience and explaining for him to learn things. Instead of refusing, which can make him angry or cause him to lash out like when Kara and Alice refused, you have to thank him but then explain what the problem is so he can try again.

He always feels so bad when he messes things up and isn't able to make you happy with a gift. Humans have different sizes and models, so you can't always comfortably wear the clothes he finds for you. You can't eat every animal he finds even if he cooks it. Apparently "succulent" isn't what a charred possum is, and you have to take off the fur and skin first when you make food out of an animal. When he learns the real definition of "succulent" he starts describing YOU that way as a very odd compliment/pet name. When he kisses you for the first time after he learns the real definition, his eyes widen and he grins. He understands! You, your lips--they're succulent!

His memory is corrupted and damaged, so he doesn't fully remember his previous function. But he has so much knowledge related to gardening and plants, so he tries to use that to make Darling happy. He spends a lot of time rambling about the grasses, mosses, and leaves that are in the abandoned house as well as the plants all around the area outside. "Ralph found some ratibida columnifera outside! Yellow coneflowers. Ralph knows humans can eat the flowers. And look, dandelions. Humans can eat them, too. Ralph will make tea with the flowers, just for you. And the leaves will be a salad. Ralph will make a proper human meal, just for you! It's an anniversary dinner, because we've been a family for 31 days--one month."

He rarely uses the first person, but he does it more often when he's with you. Ralph usually says "Ralph loves you" whenever he's with you, but one night he actually says "I love you" and it almost surprises him as well as you. And it happens often whenever he's upset. He'll catch you trying to sneak away and is angrily dragging you, covering your mouth, tying you up with some spare rope while you beg him to let you go. "You and Ralph are a FAMILY. Ralph tries so hard, so so SO hard to make you happy! You're hurting Ralph, just like the other humans who've hurt him--you, you're supposed to be different. You can't, you can't leave me!"

Also a sillier hc: he has limited/very slow internet access due to the damage to his hardware, and once he tried to look up his own name and other words like "Ralph" + "love" + "happy" and came across a screenshot of the Valentine's Day card from that one episode of The Simpsons in the image search. And he very genuinely, very sweetly, just hugs his Darling later and says with 100% seriousness "Ralph choo-choo chooses you."

you reject their confession

obey me x gn!reader

.

Lucifer:

The man takes it like a champ.

He rarely develops crushes— and even then he's usually too busy to pursue it; so it stung right where it hurts when you rejected him.

But he couldn't get angry at you, you were all awkward smiles when he told you how he felt and he could tell you wanted to let him off gently.

He was incredibly relieved when you suggested staying friends (hoping that it meant he didn't ruin things between you and him— it's happened before).

You were someone important to him and he loved you. It'll just take some time to get over his romantic feelings.

The air around the two of you is awkward for a while. He needed some time to himself to sort everything out.

But after he initially gets over his dump— things would get back to normal. He starts to ask you to make his coffee again, you visit him late at night when everyone is already asleep so he'll be able to get some rest, doing your own thing next to him by the fireplace while he does paperwork.

He's glad that his confession didn't ruin things between you two, and whether as friends or more— he'll forever be grateful you came into his life.

Mammon:

Dude is heartbroken.

His crushes aren't rare per se— but when he crushes, he crushes hard.

It took him a bunch of time to work up the courage to ask you out, so when you rejected him he immediately wanted to cry.

But before the tears could fall he's back to his tsundere nature. He babbles on and on but he's talking too fast to make sense of any of it— but you could kind of piece together the words of 'he was just kidding'.

After a good 30 seconds, he blurts out a 'I have somewhere ta be!' and rushes to his room where he collapses and cries for a bit.

His funk lasts for a long time, and it's uncomfortable between you and Mammon for a while.

But over time he starts to get over it and tries hanging out with you again. Walking you to school, breaking into your room to tell you about his latest gig, making instant ramen at 1 am because that's all he's good at.

He was happy with you as friends during the beginning of the exchange program, so there isn't a reason you can't be friends now just because he had romantic feelings for you at one point.

Whatever your relationship is, he knows he can depend on you (you'll never catch him saying it though. maybe).

Leviathan:

This is going to be rough.

If Mammon's heartbroken, he's absolutely distraught.

He's managed to convince himself that because you rejected him, you now want absolutely nothing to do with him.

He rants about how sorry he is and how of course you wouldn't want to be friends with someone like him, let alone as partners.

And before you could get a word in, he's gone.

He stays in his room for over a week, and even when his brothers have convinced him to get out of his room— he's avoiding you like he would Lucifer after he spent a bunch of money on anime merch.

It takes a couple of his brothers to knock some sense into him; that just because someone doesn't reciprocate you're feelings, it doesn't mean they hate your guts and want you to die.

And once they managed to persuade him of that— he starts rambling about how you have to hate him now because of how long he's ignored you.

All in all, it's a complete and utter mess.

After he's finally calmed down, he and everyone else try to make a plan for you and him to 'make up'.

But that goes out the window when he just goes to you and cries about how sorry he is and how he's been treating you.

It takes a few minutes to calm him down, and you're going to have to take the reins from here.

He really doesn't know what to do to somehow not make everything seem like the two of you are only hanging out because someone's holding him at gunpoint.

Sitting next to each other at breakfast again, being his player 2 in games, making food based off of anime.

Before he knows it the two of you are hanging out like nothing ever happened. And he's kinda glad his confession didn't go anywhere because now that he thinks about it, he might not be ready for a romantic relationship.

Satan:

The most mature out of all of them, tbh.

He reads about this kind of stuff all the time, and he was semi-prepared when you rejected him.

Still hurt obviously, but he respects your decision.

He needs his alone time like anyone else does but he still makes sure to hang out with you from time to time to make sure you know he doesn't hold any kind of resentment towards you.

He kind of just sucks it up and moves on.

not really much to say here lol

Asmodeus:

His feelings are pretty complicated about the whole ordeal.

He's been in relationships before but he wouldn't say he felt stable in any of them if that makes sense.

He subconsciously thinks that all of them were with him because of how he looks, but you're the first person his charm didn't work on.

It took a while for him to navigate his feelings for you, and when he finally reached a certain conclusion he decided he needed to tell you.

His confession was light and casual, and when he got rejected he acted like it was no big deal.

It hurt in a place he's never hurt before and his thoughts are a complete mess.

But he still hangs out with you to kind of prove to himself that he's okay, and to procrastinate sorting out his emotions.

You're going to have to tell him to take some time for himself

It takes a couple of days just thinking about how he feels— but he eventually comes to the conclusion that he doesn't need to be in a romantic relationship with you to feel stable. You've made him feel that way even when the two of you are just friends.

He goes back to his usual peppy self afterward, and he's slightly more open to you.

Beelzebub:

His confession was a 'spur of the moment' thing. Once he realized he liked you romantically, he didn't really think and just told you.

When faced with your rejection, he doesn't really feel any different. He might be a bit confused about how he feels and excuses himself to go and think about it.

But he just figures out that he loves you and no matter if your relationship is platonic or romantic— you make him and his brothers happy and that's all he needs to know.

Belphegor:

It doesn't take long for him to realize he likes you romantically.

Before long he starts thinking about a confession (and a rejection) and decides that the best way to tell you is in the planetarium.

When you reject him he kind of just shrugs it off. He leaves so as to not make things uncomfortable between the two of you.

He doesn't act much differently after that. You're still his nap buddy and he's comfortable with you. He's alright being just friends and doesn't feel particularly hurt.

[minecraftbookshelf]

Biglong ask incoming, I kept getting more ideas as I typed lol. Hope you’ve got a ramble already locked and loaded. This might be a bit much otherwise, sorry. 😅

So… How big are things in MoS? Like the empires are presumably much larger than the Minecraft counterparts, being actually functional empires. How long is travel between the empires? Is the Minecraft map basically proportional or would things scale up differently? Is there just a separate map for the AU or are the broad strokes close enough to use the original world as a reference?

And what does travel actually look like? Are elytra a common thing for people to have? If they’re rare and valuable, who gets to use them? How about boats, horses, camels, lamas, donkeys? What’s common? Are there empire specific preferences for mounts/vehicles? Do we got flying machines, and would you see them outside the grimlands? How does pix tend to travel when he goes wandering?

When the dragons get brought back (gem would not appreciate the passive voice there) do dragon riders pop up? Do they become more common mounts eventually?

What is travel between empires like? Who lets people through easily, who doesn’t, and how do they enforce it? (especially with the flying people) What’s the process to be allowed into more closed off empires? I imagine the rules are different with allies, so what are they in that case?

Do you have any big trade routes you already thought of? Is ocean trade and travel generally allowed by lizze? Are there any silly circuitous routes that trade or travel has to take to get around closed off borders; get around both as in literally geographically around and metaphorically, as in around the rules.

Do winged sophonts ride on mounts sometimes; for comfort or for pomp and circumstance? Or is flying just so much faster that they basically never bother? Are there underwater mounts for the seafolk? Do seafolk use boats for themselves? Can seafolk swim faster than boats? Travel long distances faster?

Nether travel exists too! Or does it? Xornoth didn’t get possessed, so is the nether still around? If it is, how common is nether travel? Is it like the baseline for long trips, or a restricted ultra-fast highway? Probably depends on how hard it is to make portals in AUland. Do they even make more at all? If not commonplace, do the portals have like, waiting lists? Who tends to use them? Is it mostly used for trade?

Oh jeez, my asks are only getting longer. I feel like I need a tldr. Actually..

TLDR: a bunch of questions about travel in the MoS AU, more specifically regarding, in order; scale, vehicles, borders, trade routes, flying and swimming manually, and the nether.

Ok, now I think I’m finally actually done, for real this time, and I hope you have a good day. <3

Usually I either do have a ramble locked and loaded or it doesn't take much to get one going so I wouldn't worry about it XD

going to go ahead and preemptively pop in a readmore because, all this. (Also this ask is very funny to me because the literal first few paragraphs of the upcoming chapter do actually talk a bit about travel. In the sense of "Jimmy has flown all the way to the Overgrown and is dried up and cranky about it.")

How Big Is It All?

I have messed a bit with the proportions. On the actual SMP for example, Helianthia is one of the smaller empires, while that just...isn't quite feasible for the purposes of the AU since the sort of large scale agriculture happening there needs Space. Even when its magically assisted agriculture. Basically I'm using the official map and just adjusting proportions a bit. I might make my own "official" version for the AU at some point, but I haven't really bothered at this point.

Helianthia, Mezalea, and Mythland in particular are all pretty big. Some of the other kingdoms, like Pixandria, are fairly small but just spread out over a large area. (In this case, small populations clustered in a few different oases) Rivendell technically has a fairly large territory, but a lot of the Southern reaches of it are abandoned. Things like that.

Travel?

Travel time depends on who is traveling to/from where and how. There are elytra but they are extremely rare and are reserved for the rulers themselves and, in a few cases, particularly trusted messengers who act as couriers for high-security documents/messages. Mythland, Mezalea, Pixandria, Helianthia, The Ocean, The Swamp, and The Grimlands all make use of elytra to differing levels, while Rivendell, The Overgrown, and The Lost Empire have enough citizens with wings of their own that they don't really bother. The Crystal Cliffs use spells to achieve the same effect (Shrub doesn't even arrive until after the story has already begun, so I leave them out of a lot of this discussion mostly because a lot of it will be in the actual fics explicitly as they learn to find their way around a strange new world full of stupidly tall people.)

Boats and ships are very common for the seafaring kingdoms; The Swamp, Mezalea, and Mythland. Pixandria also has a few but they mostly use them for near-shore fishing and shorter ferry trips. Ocean trade and travel routes are heavily effected by the existence of the Ocean Empire in general and Lizzie in particular. The Mythlands used to be much more seafaring then they currently are, and yes, they do have to take some rather circuitous routes these days.

There are very much empire specific preferences for mounted travel, though horses are fairly standard in most empires. A lot of those will show up fairly quickly in the series so I won't do a full breakdown here but yes, Pearl does have her golden goose because I love that that is a thing.

Pix has traveled just about every way imaginable and he is just as likely to show up at your door on foot as he is by elytra.

There are some flying machines, though they are not incredibly reliable. They are mostly used by the Grimlands yes though Mezalea also has a couple of more dirigible-style transports.

I'm actually going to put a pin in the topic of the dragons for now. :)

What is travel between empires like? Who lets people through easily, who doesn’t, and how do they enforce it? (especially with the flying people) What’s the process to be allowed into more closed off empires? I imagine the rules are different with allies, so what are they in that case? Do you have any big trade routes you already thought of? Is ocean trade and travel generally allowed by lizze? Are there any silly circuitous routes that trade or travel has to take to get around closed off borders; get around both as in literally geographically around and metaphorically, as in around the rules.

These will both be kind of covered in the post that I will make with the trade routes map i mentioned making earlier but the tldr is yes, alliances definitely affect trade and travel, though the emperors themselves tend to go wherever they want and show up on each others doorstep with zero warning, there are some instances in which this is heavily discouraged. (Mythical Sausage is Not Welcome in the Cod Swamp. He shows up anyway. This is a major topic of conversation that I have been writing about lately XD) Some empires also heavily discourage air travel by outsiders.

(So yes most of the winged rulers do have backup mounts for such cases.)

The Ocean Empire does not really use boats or ships but the Swamp does. Some Sea-folk are faster than ships straight up, but mostly they aren't as limited by ocean currents and wind patterns and so can often take more direct routes. (Though they also do use the currents)

Nether travel does exist. Xornoth's connection to the Nether is a little bit different in this AU, just because I've tweaked the mythology to suit my own purposes and story. So there are Nether roads, though how frequently they are used and how well they are maintained varies wildly. The Ocean Empire and the majority of The Swamp population avoid it when possible, because it's basically instant dehydration for them and is an incredibly dangerous way to travel. A significant portion of the Rivendell population is also very ill-suited for travel in the Nether as well. It's primarily used for extreme distances or for some of the WRA. It's mostly used for time sensitive things that won't be harmed by the heat. Some trade, but mostly travel.

Nether travel won't show up much for the first two arcs but will feature heavily in the third arc so I'll go into it in a lot more detail there.

Pairing: Sr!Time x gn!reader (headcanon, romantic) Warnings: Fluff?Time being a grump! I ramble a lot, sorry ._.'

OKAY I KNOW I HAVE REQUESTS I SHOULD BE WORKING ON BUT MY BRAIN IS FALLING IN LOVE AGAIN WITH SACRED REALMS TIME!! The comic is @/zelda-the-sacred-realm (no I will not tag them, they're cool and I would rather die then have them acknowledge me being a simp :3 /hj)

Time

Honestly very surprising that you managed to woo the grump! His salty attitude and tough exterior is a hard one crack, let alone break enough to allow you to worm your way into his stubborn heart!

But once you're there, I can promise you that he isn't letting go that easily! He's your problem now! >:P

Isn't big on PDA at all. He has a image to keep and he doesn't want his team mate to see him weakened (by your charm)! Well- actually its more like he's trying to save both you and himself from their never ending teasing

cause oooo boy!! Those boys are RELENTLESS!! Its such an odd and rare sight for them to see the might hero of time is such a...soft state! You turn the frightening grizzly bear into disgruntled teddy bear with a simple kiss to his cheek!

This isn't to say he'll shove you off of him if you come to hug him, but he will give you a gentle reminder as he gives you a soothing but small rub to your arm before pulling back.

BUT behind closed doors/away from prying eyes?? He will take your loving in strides! (he still gets flustered when you hold hands) The hero will let you smother him until he does need to take a step back to calm down--

His favourite acts of affection to receive (tho he wont admit it) are kisses on the tips of his fingers while you cup his names! He doesn't know why but the act just makes him melt

He still struggles a lot when it comes to giving and receiving love, so please be patient with him!

Speaking of giving love, I see Time as the type of fella that uses gifts as a way to express himself!! He sees an object/item that reminds him of you? Oops, it's in his pocket now :3! You've been taking about this one really rare item to add to your collection? Oh how strange, Time had this little thing laying around, here ya go!

The hero also enjoys just...being in the same room as you! You both could be do your own little tasks, not talking or even sitting that close, but he'll enjoy the company you give him! It might seem strange to others but the simple fact that Time knows your there and within reach is just so...comforting?

The boys have used Time's love and affection for you as a way to protect themselves from his wrath LMAO

Like, World of Realm (link) will be hauling ass as they're running away from the furious spirit until they catch sight of you!! Their saving grace!!

And before you know it, two shaking heroes are hid behind you as your dashing lover comes to a screeching halt infront of you. All you can do is give him a raised eyebrow and curious smirk and boom! legendary hero defeated (turned in a small flustered mess)

But that's not to say you don't quietly chew out the two heroes! Nono! Time is still your lover and you don't appreciate the heroes riling him up so much. This tends to end up with u pull the heroes along to give the hero an apology (if they actually did do something to make him angry/upset) when you darling had the chance to calm down.

Overall, you're relationship is one that starts slow as the hero gets used to being loved once more. It's a lot of figuring out what does and doesn't work within your relationship and how to navigate those challenges!

But even with the difficulties, the hero can and will love you with his full heart (no matter how cold the others say it is) and will do everything in his power to make sure you're kept safe and happy!

Drunk Poly!Lacho x Reader Headcanons

A/N: I did this for Benoit Blanc (link here) & everyone loved it so I thought this would be fun.

Contains: Alcohol/Drinking (Ofc)

Pairing(s): Eduardo "Lalo" Salamanca x Reader x Ignacio "Nacho" Varga

Starting with light drunk:

If you're going to see one of them drunk it's definitely Lalo, Nacho will drink but not too often. Nacho is a simple beer man while Lalo is a little picky with flavors (As seen with the very berry vitamin stuff with Hector lmao). Lalo keeps a little Alcohol cabinet in the kitchen & seems like the kind of guy to "pair" alcohol with foods to make them taste better.

Lalo, when buzzed, gets all giddy. It's like he's high. Everything is funny to the man & he laughs so loud. Nacho, on the other hand, gets really talkative. Lalo will tease him for talking & say he should drink more.

"Ignacioooooo."

"Yes, Lalo?"

"Hi," Lalo chuckled.

"That's all you had to say? Usually, you're the one rambling on & on but I've said more words than you."

"Are you counting words, Ignacio?" You ask teasingly. "Oh shut up, Y/N." Lalo broke out into a fit of laughter, Nacho yelling, "THAT WASNT EVEN FUNNY," only makes tears stream down Lalo's face as he laughs harder.

Shitfaced gay cartel boys:

Lalo is the loudest, touchiest drunk ever. On top of that, he literally cannot walk, it is hilarious. He'll lean on you or Nacho if you guys aren't as drunk & if he tries to walk he will fall. If you guys are sober you try to help him but if you guys are drunk you just laugh your heads off.

The only downside about Lalo being drunk is his impulsivity is amplified by 1000%. If someone messes with you or god forbid flirts with you, that guys is going home with a broken nose or not at all.

Nacho is usually the designated driver, sitting quietly at the bar with a club soda & chuckling at your & Lalo's drunk antics. People often say being the one sober person isn't fun but Nacho finds it fun most of the time. Carrying around his tough guy boyfriend who has essentially become a baby & you bringing him out to dance like idiots on the dance floor.

Now how is Nacho when he does get shitfaced (This is a tough one for me). I think shitfaced Nacho is a wild card. Like he'd be the one to jump on the tables & start dancing, climb a tree & act like a spy, or run across the street with oncoming traffic. Maybe he avoids getting shitfaced because of how he is when he is drunk. But when you guys are home alone in your huge walled yard, Lalo may just get him absolutely drunk to see his craziness. It's an aspect that makes him love Nacho more.

"Y/N, I need help! I got Ignacio drunk & now he's on the roof!" Lalo yelled from outside. "I CAN FLY!" Nacho screamed, clearly getting ready to jump. "NO, NO PUEDES MI CORAZÓN! (NO YOU CAN'T MY HEART)"

Bonus:

If you somehow end up involved in the cartel side of their lives or the cartel finds out about you, you are definitely going to at least one of Don Eladio's parties. You'll see something in your boys that you rarely, if ever, see. Fear. They pretend to be buzzed, not drinking a lick of alcohol.

Don't worry though, with or without alcohol in his system Lalo will beat the shit out of any partygoer that so much as looks at you the wrong way. Nacho will definitely be following closely behind him at all moments to stop him from doing anything irrational.

Lalo walked off towards the house looking particularly angry. Nacho jumped in front of him, "Woah, where are you going?" Lalo sighed & lowered his voice to a whisper, "The bathroom, Ignacio, I just hate this party."

Hey, I’ve always loved your works, and I’m delighted to have found your tumblr!

(TL;DR: I really like the way you write relationships and I’m sorry you’re dealing with some shitty comments) Can I just say, I absolutely love the actions and characterizations of your latest mind-link fic? It’s just so raw and so real, and honestly, I absolutely love these types of fics where good people mess up and behave like assholes. Because we’re all human, we’re all people, and life and love and relationships are messy, messy things.

I don’t want cookie cutter perfect relationships, I want these 3D ones that shows that it’s okay that people fuck up. So many fanfics have a perfect protagonist (and I mean, more power to them, it’s their fanfic), but I personally *love* when the main character messes up and just- snaps at someone or is a little selfish. It just makes it so much more human and relatable. And it makes the fluff that comes after 10000% better because you know how much they care for each other, to make up and to work past issues because they think the other person is worth it.

Anyways, sorry for rambling at ya- I just wanted to express exactly how much I love your recent fic and my utter bafflement at the asshole comments. People are going to fuck up! It happens! And if you don’t want to read about that, that’s 100% fine! But stop yelling at the author, it’s not your fic! It’s theirs!

Thank you so much! I think you encapsulated the issue really well.

Don't get me wrong, I love reading fics where my blorbo is overpowered and can do no wrong and everyone else is in the wrong -- it's really fun and there's some awesome stories like that! It's fiction, and if that's how the author writes that character, I'm down.

I also like reading stories where it's grittier and complicated and closer to real life. I like both! The latter is hard to read constantly, because it's too much like real life to be an escape sometimes.

For borderline, I really wanted to dive into the complicated and awkward feelings that don't always make it into fics (for good reasons). Things like people in the bond feeling someone's else's arousal/other bodily functions, personal thoughts that are never shared out loud, instinctive reactions to things people can't control or even verbalize to themselves. Etc...

The reality is, even the best blorbo comes off poorly when we see their every thought, action, and memory in technicolor. People are complicated, and even genuinely good people rarely fall into that easy, good/not good binary every second of every day.

I think a lot of conflict in my comment section comes from discord over Tim and Damian (and to a lesser extent, Bruce) not being "perfect" or equally bad/good.

I've said it before, and I will reiterate it here: I appreciate the stories where Tim/Damian/etc are written as the victim, the wronged party, the protagonist, etc. I'm not knocking them here. But this isn't that kind of fic -- no one is right, here, or the sole protagonist/wronged party.

Tim isn't a bad guy any more than Damian is. Nor is Damian a better person or victim more so than Tim. Their situations are wildly different and so are their motivations/experiences. Hence why it's interesting (or at least, I think so) to see them involuntarily connected and at odds.

It's okay to disagree with my characterization! You don't have to read my fic. But I think taking a breath and Xing out is better than arguing with me/other readers in the comments about how your favorite character is being mis-written or treated.

#thank you for the ask #sorry again for the longer reply #I have thoughts #appreciate you asking this #myfic #theresurrectionist #borderline #bruce wayne #batman #dc #batfamily #a good example of real life gritty writing is succession #which i love #but I can't watch it for long periods because it stresses me out #because it's too real #and then I switch to something else #you can/should do the same things with fics

Trick, mistake, secret and skin

This 100% did not start with me thinking Trick was one of the words

Yeah ok, my secret is that I'm always on my bullshit about Trick too. Another readmore because I uh...always always ramble hard about my girl.

skin: How comfortable is your OC in their skin? Do they grapple with anything that lives inside them—a beast, a curse, a failure, a monster? How do they face the smallest, weakest, most horrible version of themself? Are they able to acknowledge it at all?

So, the key to writing Trick in any way, shape, or form is that she is, 99.9% of the time, never comfortable in her own skin and always contending with some type of monster writhing beneath her skin. Is she confident and capable in her abilities? Yes. Willing to lead and make the tough decisions? Yes. Self-assured and secure in who she is? No, never.

Is it a contradiction in a lot of ways? Yes, but the girl's a mess of martyr complexes and insecurities. She almost always, honestly believes she is the most horrible version of herself (a coward and a monster), and though she would only call herself as such in a conversation where it's directly referenced, she never denies the accusation and does all she can with her actions to try and make up for her perceived shortcomings. In reality, the worst version of herself is the girl who gave up for a time (there's usually some point in her history where she went selectively mute and actively tried to kill herself), and in that regard, Trick often pretends that girl actually succeeded. She rarely acknowledges that time existed, ashamed as she is by it, and on the rare chance it does come up...well, the ensuing conversation isn't pretty.

As for the monsters beneath her skin, it varies by verse, but she's usually contending with some type of darkness or beast that's a thinly veiled allegory for her rage, desperation, and trauma (because I'm like that). A few examples, in no particular order:

Pack-verse: In Trick's original universe (a dystopian urban fantasy/sci-fi mashup), she's a wolf shapeshifter who was experimented on as a kid, which ultimately resulted in the line between human and beast blurring within her. Meaning, she has a tendency to go partial-to-full werewolf when deeply upset, among other differences (improved senses, heightened instincts and reflexes, etc). She's terrified of her capabilities and tries to repress herself as much as possible, which only backfires. The whole character arc there is about her coming to terms with who she is and what happened to her, and accepting that that side of her (the rage, the desperation, the trauma) is not actually a bad thing (and is actually more heightened because of her human choices, not the animalistic ones).

SWTOR: I took the Jedi Consular story and ran with it. The effects of the Force plague linger after chapter 1, even after Morrhage is defeated. I figured that lending out your soul to protect fellow Jedi against a Dark plague probably means you don't get everything back properly, even if you did everything right. She doesn't suffer from corruption so much (I actually believe she's not corruptible because she learned the shielding technique), but she's almost constantly, subconsciously using the shielding technique on herself to battle off the bit of Darkness she inherited from those she shielded. Other parts of her are missing altogether. It causes her a lot of chronic pain, but over time she learns to deal with it...until chapter 3 when she secretly starts shielding the Children and accidentally inherits some of the Emperor's power. KOTFE and KOTET are the worst time of her life, and she never knew so much relief as when the Emperor finally died in EOO.

BG3: My new project and current brainrot. Trick's issues are a little different here, as she's dealing with divinity instead of darkness (her backstory fic I'm working on is literally subtitled "You've Been Touched by Something Holy"). Instead of dealing with darkness, she's dealing with the fact she's literally been touched by the God of Death and bares the scars (both physical and emotional. I'm using this as an excuse to finally make this a valid design and not just metaphorical) that set her apart from her peers. It's still very much a metaphor for her rage and grief, but has a new and exciting flavor that I'm still working out all the kinks of.

secret: What's one secret your OC never wants anyone to know about them?

Again, depends on verse, but Trick always has at least one, world shattering secret she's keeping to herself. Generally, no matter in what iteration, there are deaths in her past she doesn't want anyone knowing about. The numbers and her exact involvement often vary, but she always feels a sense of guilt for people she either directly or indirectly killed through her actions and/or inactions. Otherwise:

Pack-verse: Her primary secret she wishes no one knew is, exactly, the number of people she's been responsible for killing as an agent of the government. However, that isn't a secret she can hide, as most people know and/or remember her committing those crimes. Instead, the secret she's trying most to hide is the aforementioned experimentation and ensuing consequences. She doesn't want anyone to know just how monstrous she really is, and how utterly disgusted she constantly feels about herself.

SWTOR: She tries to take the fact she was born an Imperial slave to the grave, but it does come out eventually to the Republic or Alliance. Instead, the one thing she will take to the grave is what happened to her as a result of the shielding technique. She'll never speak a word about the non-corruption corruption (thus, she'll never ask for help) because she fears how people will view her or treat her if they ever knew. The only exception is Cipher Nine, sometimes, but that man can and will both take a secret to the grave and never once consider betraying her trust.

BG3: The fact she died and was resurrected by a God. It's kind of hard to avoid in full, given the golden scarring is a dead giveaway of something divine happening to her, but she doesn't easily share the full story. And having died and being resurrected stands in direct contrast to being a cleric (and unrealized Chosen) of Kelemvor, nevermind the fact it was Kelemvor who asked her to live and resurrected her in the first place. It's complicated.

mistake: What's the worst mistake your OC ever made? What led to them making it? Have they been able to fix it? How have they moved on?

Trusting Torren, in every verse. The worst mistake she ever made is trusting her...ex? Abuser? Mirror image and narrative foil? All of the above?

Regardless, Torren is always her worst mistake. She tried so hard to fix him, but he was one of those people who couldn't be helped, and did nothing but manipulate and use her further because of her goodwill. People got hurt and died because of it, no matter the verse. She got hurt (usually assaulted), no matter the verse. Torren is always the worst mistake, no matter what, and the only reason she ever trusted him was because she was young and naive and just wanted to help.

Usually Trick rectifies it by, eventually, killing him. It's the only way she feels like she can rectify everything he's done (to her and to others), and it is her burden to bare alone (though sometimes Tav insists on doing the honors). Even after he's dead though, it takes a long time for her to move on from everything that happened. When she has Tav, he usually helps facilitate her moving on quicker, but she can get there on her own with enough time away from the situation and a metric fuckton of painful self-reflection.

[wheneclipsefalls]

I have a feeling this question is going to be a mess, and I apologize for the rambling. :( No kidding, I can see that I will be relying on re-reading Jealous Neteyam (and other chapters) for the foreseeable future to stay alive. It's nice to see that they're already feeling so familiar and comfortable with each other by the end of the book (Kxolo's reaction to Neteyam being such a bold PDA made me laugh so hard. Like, he doesn't actually want to stop his Omega, but at the same time, this man obviously wants some privacy lol) It's rare to see Kxolo in a "controlled" position, and it's very cute to see Neteyam feeling so unsure about it! And OMG, I knew this was going to happen someday but they MADE the bond!!!! I would probably walk out of my apartment and run screaming down the street for this! I loved every word of this chapter, but it also left a lot of mysteries. When kxolo was talking to neyra, did he notice the two people peeking behind him? And when did Kxolo start noticing Neteyam showing jealousy? And of course, what happened at the morning meeting...Are they in "silent treatment" with each other? (Wait what am I talking about, they're very sweet.) God, I'm dying to know everything about them...Honestly, I think it's getting a little creepy. Lastly, make a friend who will do anything to beat someone to the ground for you. Take care of your rest. I hope you're doing well in college. :))

Never apologize, I absolutely LOVE receiving comments like this! It really makes all of the time and effort I put into series like Ma Neteyam worth it <3

I'm so glad you enjoyed the little jealous Neteyam drabble. Although it took me forever to finalize, I had a fun time writing it and it means a lot to know that there is a group of people that really care about this little story I started almost a year ago<3

Writing Neteyam in a "dominate" position was so fun to me since I can only imagine the poor boy just never had any practice with it. Kxolo found seeing his nervous little omega take the reigns not only incredibly sexy but also so endearing. Since this drabble is set in the future this is not the first time they make the bond but it was really fun to write. As Olo'eyktan Kxolo feels it isn't technically appropriate to make tsaheylu at a public dinner but at the same time he had too much fun watching Neteyam show off his claim. By the end of dinner Kxolo was grinning like a mad man, completely arrogant and proud of the boy's jealous behavior. The Olo'eyktan forever treasures moments like this where he gets to see how far they have come, his little omega so desperate to make sure Kxolo never slips between his fingers.

As far as watching him and Neyra, they were in a fairly public setting so he knew that Neteyam and Vamai could've been nearby but it wasn't until Neteyam's little display and glaring across the fire that he put two and two together.

At the morning meeting, Neteyam just so happened to be getting impatient with the long meeting and made some bratty remarks in front of the whole war party. He was reprimanded but Neteyam also learned how far his sweet little looks and soft touches could get him.

(A true bestie is one that will go to the mat with a bitch that dares to disprespect you hahaha. That's love)

Truly thank you so much for this comment, it means the world to me!! <3

[coughincandy]

hi, it's me im the transfem crimson dawn ask

please ramble about them

Marjorine was the one who pointed out that CD was getting attention cuz cartman used a song in his yt video n she started acting like a big shot. Stan caught wind of this and immedietly started investing in the band again and also acting like a big shot pretentious metal head as they always do when something they make gets somewhat popular. They ofc rushed to bring the band back together despite not having a session since like early middle school. (They're like? Sophomores here I think)

Jimmy agreed just cuz he likes playing but never committed to the whole aesthetic he was just there to have a good time he didn't care about musician fame anyway since he was more set on being a comedian. Ironically Kenny, who was the only one who actually dressed punk before CD got attention was also the only one who didn't really want to play again. No particular reason she just "didn't feel like it" and was probably making her own music anyway but Stan basically BEGGED her and she eventually caved n just went ugh fucking FINE I'll join ur emo band again.

Typical teenage band drama proceeds. Stan gets high off their own ego when they start getting small gigs (which he begged to play at like 80% of venues) which makes him and Kyle fight cuz they're being annoying. Kenny is on off dating Henrietta constantly Marjorine has a crush on her Ken probably kisses her at some point to "mess around" which fucks w marjorine so much cuz she thinks it means they're in love n Kenny "cheated" on her cuz she got back w henrietta like a week later. Again Jimmy isn't involved w any of it he just wants to play and have a good time man. He is dating Kyle though.

Kyle's probably a little bit into Jimmy being part of a punk band which Stan calls him out for being a hypocrite cuz Kyle made fun of them and Marjorine for being in CD which Kyle explains yeah cuz Jimmy's not a fake pretentious jack ass about it which pisses of Stan even MORE cuz no theyre totally not a pretentious poser theyre so metal. Then Stan starts to lose their voice from the screaming and loses inspiration for songs cuz he's rarely even on the tegridy farm anymore cuz they live w their mom after a divorce from forever ago. People start making fun of the band for getting notably worse and Stan has a slow mental breakdown. Could go on but this post is so fucking long I'll draw more shit for it ltr

Smith AU Part 1

From THIS HC, and dialogue from THIS ART made by @averagehomosapien

Warning: there is a nightmare with the tagged warnings, skip nightmare if you're uncomfortable with death, blood and crushing. Is not written neatly so I might work on it later.

It was rare that Raphael found himself awake after passing out, especially after a hard fight. Despite the fight being months ago, everyone involved was exhausted.

Especially after the bombshell.

Splinter had named Leo leader out of the blue, which got a negative reaction from Leo, Donnie, and Mikey.

Raph felt nothing but relief, and nausea, but that didn't matter.

It had been six months since the fight and Raph finally called a brother meeting last night, which lead to his now predicament.

It started with yelling…and ended with cowardice.

"Leo isn't fit to be leader! Honestly I'm not sure we'll survive long."

"Now Donnie, we won't die, but I kinda agree with Donnie on the not Leader material. Leo why didn't you argue?! You argued every other time."

"I don't want it anymore than you do! Pops won't let off. Raph maybe if you-"

"Nah, I don't think so." This gains shock from his three younger brothers.

"What!?" "Raph?" "What do you mean?"

Donnie sounded violent there, so Raph went for it instead of waiting.

"I…am not okay, I don't think I've been okay for a long time. I…we are changing, growing up so my method of leading isn't working for us. I've always thought Leo or any of you would be able to lead, that I just needed to step back and let you. I guess my… overbearingness won out, saying keeping you guys as kids was the right thing. I messed up Mike's first solo mission, Donnie. While I don't approve of theft, I don't mind it being the government as long as it's not too much, or some rich folks, and Leo I was actually going to ask you to be a leader myself if only for a bit. I wish dad would have spoken to us or at least me about it instead of springing it on all of us. I could have eased you into it, maybe coach you and you coach me. Co lead maybe, not springing it on you." Raph paused, realized he was rambling and dared looking at his brothers.

They all stared at him, mouths agape.

He began to fidget and second guess himself, as Leo began to open his mouth, Raph ran for his room.

He waited for everyone to go to bed before finally sleeping himself.

⇐===Nightmare====>

Lights blared red as Raphael ran, passing his Father's body, being held by Draxum's body. Like an attempt to protect.

Gram-Gram's ghost leading him to his brothers, calling him to hurry, to save them unlike he had done for her.

It was too late.

Donatello laying on his stomach facing away from him, his poor soft shell exposed and fully sliced open.

Mikey was not far, liquid oozing slowly from his mouth, looked as though he was tossed away from his big brother. Eyes dark but wide with fright.

Further down fought Leo, his sword being broken and head grabbed.

Raph couldn't move.

Raph couldn't get to them.

The red clad turtle watched as Shredder flexed his hand and Leo stopped moving.

Raph watched as Shredder turned towards him, mouth open wide and the demon speeding towards him.

⇐===End Nightmare====>

Raph gasped awake and now laying in his bed, tiredly looking at the roof of his train car.

Getting up slowly and making his way to the kitchen, he thought about how powerless they were without weapons.

No backups and nothing to help them out.

The large turtle found himself outside the kitchen turning on the light, he began making a Matcha blend to try to relax.

Mug firmly in hand, Raph took a deep breath. Closing his eyes at the thickness of the tea.

"Raph? Are you okay?"

Raph didn't startle but he did turn to see Donnie standing in the kitchen doorway.

"Nightmare, I'm just calming down." Raph closed his eyes in relief, Donnie was alive. All he had to do was check on the other two.

He heard movement and pinpointed it to the freezer.

Listening as Donnie moved around the kitchen, Raph kept his eyes closed. Only opening them to see his purple clad brother with two large containers of ice cream, cookies, sprinkles, and cookie dough in both hands.

Raph chuckled, remembering the late night "Big Brothers" meetings he and Donnie shared.

"We talked after you ran" Raph blushed in shame, "and you raised some great points, Leo…can be an okay leader. We realize that it wasn't fair on you to solve our problems all the time so we had a bit of a talk triangle. I know you were getting overwhelmed, honestly as second eldest I should have been the one to step up."

Donnie swirled his spoon in his plain vanilla ice cream before continuing, "We'll accept Nardo's lead, as long as you agree with co-leading. Being a leader isn't attractive..it's not a…Leo thing."

Raph snort, "It's attractive if he makes it that way, and we both know he'll try."

They finished off their treats and as Donnie left the kitchen Raph thought of it.

"Wait! Donnie, could you uuh…make me a forge or something? I know you're busy and all, but maybe-" He hated asking Donnie for things, what if he had a project he wanted to focus on!?

Donnie felt ecstatic, it was rare that his big brother asked him for things, even if they were simple.

"Of course my dear Raph! Might I ask why?" He was already putting the design into his wrist computer, keeping an encouraging gaze on his big brother.

"I think I want to learn to make more weapons, both ours and maybe different kinds." He replied hoping Donnie could read between the lines.

Donnie paused and smiled gently, "Don't worry big guy, I got it handled."

The two separated, for once Donnie slept without prompting and Raph didn't have a nightmare.

[whattheflyingfudge]

So, this idea was originally thought up by @astraldemise and what I've done is expand it into an entire game plot. One that can be critiqued harshly by the Tumblr-going audience. Also thanks to @wiz-witch to listening to me ramble over the course of 4 hours and hammering out details with me.

So, going off from the post, you are not in a great place. You're a 20-something loving in a terrible apartment covered in garbage. Life's a mess, you can barely summon the will to do anything and you're just shuffling through life. Though as you're taking out the trash one day, a rare feat unto itself, you come across 3 Pokémon, seen below.

Over time, you begin befriending one of them. It's the most effort you've put into anything in a while. And over time, the Pokémon comes to trust you, aside from Trubbish, who is naturally friendly and only wants a friend. With a Pokemon by your side, you decide to go out, get some fresh air, and go to your first gym. You'll encounter some birds and such on the way there, you know, standard game stuff, until you arrive at the first gym, which is a fighting gym.

Now, something I haven't pointed out yet is that you can't run, not yet at least. Your walk speed isn't agonizing but your avatar just don't feel the need to. The gym is, well, an actual gym, with weights and punching bags and the leader is a ripped dude bro with a Machop as his partner Pokémon. But when you beat him, he encourages you to stay, he'll even help you. So you work out a bit with your Pokémon, and then you can run, and as you leave, you hear the words "Come back any time. Door's always open".

Yeah. You can challenge the gyms again. And they grow with you. And more importantly, you now have a friend.

Another important thing is that, you don't get XP from rematches, but you do get conversations with the leaders.

Nothing too heavy just, nice conversations like one would have with a friend.

The fighting gym leader is supportive, positive, has a Machop that eventually evolves into a Machoke, which you can trade once you get your friendship high enough. You learn he had self-confidence issues as a kid but he gradually got over them by working out and meeting people at the gym.

Though there is one thing every Pokémon game has, and this one is no different, an evil team. Team Disillusion is their name, and they're basically a cult, preaching a utopia where you never have to face your problems. You can actually talk to one of their members, who's handing out flyers in your home town. They offer you the chance to join up but that immediately results in a game over. They use primarily Psychic, Ghost and Fairy Pokémon.

After you beat the 1st gym, you have two gyms you can go to next. Either a poison gym set up in a dump, of a steel gym set up in a scrap yard.

Something the hub city set-up allows for is a bit of non-linear encounters.

Both are as down in the dumps as you are (heh), and are generally not enjoying what they do for a living, but it pays the bills, almost. They had dreams and kinda just fell ass backwards into their gym leader positions. The Poison guy has a Koffing as a partner and the Steel leader has a Ferroseed partner. After you beat them, they do lighten up a little, and offer you some solid life advice: Do what you love, but know you won't get to it immediately.

They actually have some of the best convos if you go back for a rematch. The Poison and Steel leaders are a mess. The Poison type leader is self destructive and miserable, actively working a harmful job and trying to act like he's alright. As you go to them for rematches, he reveals that he's started going to therapy. He might give up the position soon to someone who actually wants it. The steel leader is also miserable, nut is at least not trying to destroy themselves. He was a former theatre kid, but he never made it. Now he works here. You suggest that there's a community theatre in your town that has a few parts that need filling.

After you get your third gym badge, you return to your home town, which is a subterranean living space that only ever got half completed, only to be knocked out by a gas that's getting pumped in through the ventilation system.

Yes, this is Team Disillusion's doing. And as you look around, the town looks nicer. Downright livable even. But, you know better. This isn't real. The place is dark and dingy (but you're trying to fix that (with side quests)). So when you make to the central venting systems and find the grunts and the leader, you fight your way through them and remove the chemical tank from the central air system. When people snap out of it, they realize what had happened and are actually mad at you for turning off the fantasy. They were having a good time and then you ruined it. Though your neighbor (who's been a minor character (and whom you can select their gender too)), tells them to essentially fuck off, that you just saved them from whatever Team Disillusion was up to.

The 4th gym is also scripted. Because, after the Disillusion Mist incident, you haven't been able to sleep, and so you wander down a street you haven't been yet, and come across a 24 hour psychic gym set up like a large coffee house. A bit extra, but it's fine.

You enter, do the obligatory puzzles where you complete rorschach tests made by spilt coffee, and make it to the leader, who is a jittery woman in a stained labcoat with a Musharna as a partner. After defeating her, she agrees to help you with your sleep problems because her Pokémon literally eats bad dreams. She also apologizes profusely because she heard about what had happened at your home town and feels responsible. She invented the gas for the team under false pretenses, thinking it was going to be used more like an anti-depressant. Now she feels responsible and paranoid because she's afraid that the team is going to kill her to keep her from going to the media.

The Psychic Leader, as stated before, is a jittery, paranoid mess for a variety of reasons. Her ties to Disillusion, her guilt over making the mist, not only is she afraid of the evil team, but she's also afraid of getting Mccarthy'd due to her ties. Slowly, you convince her that she can relax, that no one is coming for her and that you will protect her if they do. If you ask her about what made her quit Team Disillusion, she'll have a panic attack and hide under a table. This one is also Wiz-Witch's favorite.

After that, you go back to choose your own gym leader again. You get three choices this time.

On one hand, you have an older woman running a haunted house that offers fun spooks and Pokemon battles. She's married to the fairy gym leader, who you'll meet later. Even has a kid with him. He's presently a cutie in a Bannett onesie. Her ace is a Chandelure, but her partner is a Phantump.

The Ghost leader is a goth older woman with a child, meaning she'll get the most fanart of all the characters. She's generally aloof and kind of offputting, and your conversations with her are usually focused on the shennanigans of her Phantump. See, you learn, after your last convo with her, that she had a miscarriage during her first attempt trying to have a kid. Phantumps are said to be possessed by dead kids, so when one approached her, she never let go. Also, that Phantump isn't on her team. You can actually choose to help her through her grief and she'll trade you her Phantump as thanks. If you ask her about her association with Team Disillusion, she goes deathly quiet and tells you to drop it. She was a part of it some years ago before her husband pulled her out of that funk.

On another hand, you can go to a local gaming store where you play little mini games as the gym puzzles. The leader is an shy girl with a Raichu as a partner/support animal.

The electric leader is shy and reserved, using video games to connect with people over a common interest because they can't really socialize properly. The player and them slowly grow closer while playing mini games. Ahe says that it doesn't matter if you win or lose, it matters that you have fun.

And on a third hand someone graciously offered, there's a community garden you can go to, where the leader is a cute farm girl with a Tropius as a partner. She's folksy and down to Earth and all about distracting herself from her own issues by helping others.

The grass leader is, basically a Stardew Valley NPC. Folksy, cute, always willing to help, even if she doesn't understand what she's doing and always putting others first, a bit too eager to though. The convos you can have with her usually involve the two of you fixing up the Community garden a bit, but over time, you help her learn that it's okay to be selfish every once in a while.

But after you get your 7th gym badge, Disillusion is back on their bullshit.

They're spreading the mist around the region with a variety of flying Pokémon migration patterns and some help from a few specific fairy Pokémon. Suddenly, everyone is where they want to be, and nothing is getting done.

The fairy leader approaches you and hands you a gas mask. He knows you were the one who helped your hometown stop the gas before, and something tells him that they're gonna need all the help they can get..

Thankfully, the other leaders you befriended/courted (yes that is an option for every gym leader all in one save file. Yes they are all of age) come along to help you out.

You find the team all in this abandoned research center, standing around and guarding whatever's inside. The leaders each take on about 4 or 5 members until it's just you, going through a gauntlet in a dilapidated corporate building. Because that's what this is. It's an old game company that went out of business a few years ago. You saw some of their work in the electric gym. Team Illusion was the company name.

After making it to the deepest parts of the building, you find the leader, pleading at an egg to wake up and sobbing uncontrollably. The man you were sent to kick the ass of, is a pathetic, sobbing mess. He suddenly notices you and tries to compose himself, rationalizing that the egg will awaken once it sees a large display of willpower, and he's got all the will in the world and nothing left to lose.

You beat them, naturally, and they spill their guts. They were a game company that tried to go too big, extended too far. And they lost everything because of it. With their staff gone, they began recruiting hopeful souls to their side. Team Disillusion, a name that isn't as clever as it thinks. They wanted to awaken Jirachi, the wish Pokémon so that everyone could get the life they wanted. There would be no pain and no suffering. And this is where your character speaks, with a voice and everything, as if addressing you directly.

You tell the evil team leader that life is about hardship, that we work to get what we want, and if we fail, we pick ourselves up again. Life is about never giving up on your dreams, but there is no easy way to get to them.

Of course the region is safe, but you're not done. There is still one gym left to take on.

The last gym is effectively a massive, well maintained LARP area. People dressed as knights and wizards, one of the knights hits on you regardless of gender ans pronouns, but then, you make it to the final challenge. The Fairy King, and his Partner, a Togetic.

Let me make it clear. The last time you saw this man, he was in a pink hoodie and jeans. Now he's decked out in an elaborate costume that really makes him look the part, complete with cumbersome, slightly goofy wings.

Once you defeat him, he kneels to you, as do his other knights and hands you the last badge. You are ready for the elite 4.

The Fairy King is a massive dork in an endearing way. He entirely gets into character and plays his role well. Whenever you decide to challenge him again, you get to go on a "quest" with him, usually something mundane like going to the store of catching a Pokemon for his little boy's birthday with him. The final conversation is where you ask him why did he stand against Team Disillusion? They seem like his kind of people, and he breaks character for the first time since you met him. He explains that fantasy is nice, but living in it all the time and ignoring all the ugly truths of the world is no way to live. Reality is where everyone lives, and while it sucks sometimes, we can always make it better.

From there, you make your way to the mountains, trekking upwards until you make it league. You never thought you'd make it this far, but you have. Your mind is racing, your body trembling with anticipation. You enter the league and begin blowing through their challenges. Each member has 6 Pokémon and a well balanced team. And the champion waiting for you at the end of it all, is a familiar face.

In most Pokemon games, you meet the champion early on and work with them to defeat the big bads in some way. But there was no help from the champion this time. What gives? Well, your neighbor beat you there. They've been there for a few days now, and you're their first challenger. Your neighbor has been around since the beginning of the game (you can romance them too btw), and they said she's always wanted to go on a Pokémon journey as well. They get a Pokémon and complete the gym challenge a little faster than you, what with that whole evil team nonsense. They're sweet and friendly and want to learn more about Pokémon. In another life, they'd have made a fine professor.

Their team is well balance, but their partner is one of the two Pokemon you didn't choose. The battle is long and intense, but with one final attack, you win. You are the champion now. You've reached the top of the mountain both metaphorically and literally.

Though just because you're at the top doesn't mean you're done. You've got challenging rematches against your friends, you can attempt to woo the gym leaders, clean your dingy apatment, and there is still that legendary Pokémon in the old Team Illusion building.

If I were to try and make this game, I'd set up a Patreon to find the people working on it, because I can spin a yarn but can't code to save my life. Once it came out though, all proceeds would go towards a mental health charity.

My goal is not to become famous or rich if this game ever came to fruition. I just want to make a Pokémon game for all the disillusioned kids and adults to enjoy, and maybe help someone along the way.

EMBRASSE-MOI

: pairing — student! jay x tutor! reader

: genre — fluff, crack 

: song recc. — L’amour by Miel De Montagne 

: a/n — this lowkey sucks but I've been wanting to get work out so I'm sorry if this isn't the best :(( also I'm still learning french so if some of it is wrong pls lmk so i can fix it!! 

Jay was your school’s resident bad boy. blond hair, all-black outfits, cuts class and yells at kids that look his way. you know? the usual. You on the other hand were the complete opposite. straight-A student. A quiet kid who didn’t dare look the ways of Jay Park and his Clique™. So imagine the shock that was felt when the boy you avoided at all costs, walks up to you in the middle of the cafeteria asking for French lessons. 

“You want me to do what?” He rolls his eyes, tired of this conversation already. 

“Can you not hear? I’m failing French and I need to pass or else my parents won’t let me move to France.” He speaks as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. 

“And you’re asking me why?” He rolls his eyes again for what felt like the 100th time. You’re just confused about how he even knows of your existence.

“Listen, all I know that you’re in my French class and that you pay attention, I’ll even pay you I just need to get my mark up.” You perk up to the sound of money. You don’t really need but it’s still nice to have some. Doing this will get you good Karma right? 

“Fine. Meet me at the library every Monday and Wednesday after class, got it?” Jay stares at you with annoyance. He really does not want to be wasting his senior year on stupid lessons but, here we are. He reluctantly agrees and watches you walk away, struggling to hold your books in your arms. He turns around and lets out a deep sigh, wondering if the hot chicks and fancy baguettes in France are really worth this

Minutes turned into hours as you waited for Jay to show up. You waited patiently for hours just for this kid to not show up. Annoyed, you start to pack up your books. You don’t know why you’d think someone like Jay would actually show up to a voluntary tutor session. You were just about to make your way out of the library when you see someone running towards you almost like the flash. As the figure got closer to your still body, you realize it was Jay. Now, bent over in front of you gasping for air with his tongue out like a dog. You stared at his limped-over figure with confusion and slight disgust. 

“s-s-sorry i was… late, i f-forgot about… this.” he manages to speak out with the little air he has in him. He stands up and evens out his breath. 

“what makes you think i’m gonna tutor you now? you wasted my time Park, i have a life too you know.” you snap at him. He stares at you for a brief second before letting out a hearty laugh, throwing his head back and slapping his leg. He sees your serious expression, your eyes glaring at him like an eagle and awkwardly stops laughing. 

“Look, i’m paying you and this is only gonna last for a little while. i just need to pass, that’s it.” His eyes shine with a hopeful gleam, a look that is extremely rare to see from Jay Park. He looked a little cute. You dramatically sigh and start walking into the library, Jay following behind you. 

You settle at the table you sat at prior, re-opening your book bag to pull out your notes. He just watches you do that, not making an effort to even bring out a pencil. 

“Okay, so how much french do you even know?” 

He stares into space, a little hesitant to continue. “Um, i can ask if i can go to the bathroom?” You stare at him with disbelief. You’ve been in this class with him for months and that’s all he knows. 

“THAT’S IT?” 

“Oh and i can say good morning!” you let out a loud groan that catches the attention of others around, causing them to loudly shush at you. Feeling annoyed again, you contemplate if the money was really worth it. You sigh out and start looking for your notes from the beginning of the semester. This was gonna take a LONG time. 

“... and that’s how you conjugate verbs in the past tense, aka passé composé!” You finish off the session with joy. Jay on the other hand has gone completely blank, not remembering a single word you just told him. He stares down at his notes, then at you, then back down at his notes. You can see the struggle on his face and he hasn’t said a word yet. 

“I’m never gonna pass french. This is it. I can kiss France goodbye.” he claims with despair. This already too hard for him and he barely has learned anything. He sets his head on the table and mumbles to himself about how he will never be happy if he doesn’t live his youthful 20’s in France. You sat across from him irritated with his discouraging behaviour and a little sad that you weren’t able to teach him well. Until you come up with a plan that might help him improve much quicker.  

“What if… we hang out this weekend? We can do something and we’ll only speak in French! Of course I’ll help you and all that. But like, maybe? Only if you want to of course you probably don’t wanna spend your weekend with me i dont know you know its just a plan.” you ramble on and on without stopping and Jay simply just watches you. He smirks a little before nodding. 

“How about you put your number in my phone and then I’ll text you when I’m free hm?” he slides his phone across the table towards you and eyes you typing it in. He catches a glimpse of your rose-coloured cheeks and smirks a little more. 

“Okay, uh there’s my number! Just um, text me you know, when you’re free!” you manage to stutter out. Jay just nods at you and again, watches you walk away. This time a slight smile across his face. 

A sudden notification pulls you away from your thoughts. An unknown number that you had a feeling belonged to a particular boy you didn’t think would actually text you. 

042-002-1130: bonjour 

042-002-1130: was that even right

042-002-1130: anyways I’m free on saturday if you wanna hang ig 

042-002-1130: samedi is saturday right 

042-002-1130: it is wow im such a genius 

You let out a snort at his cocky behaviour and reply back, letting him know that you were free yourself and to meet you at the school grounds at 2 pm. 

Saturday shows up as you wait outside the school gates, a picnic basket in hand. An all-black car with dark tinted windows zooms up to you. The window is pulled down and alas, the handsome boy sits in the driver’s seat, ushering you to get into the car with his hand. 

“Woah a picnic basket? Listen y/n you’re cool and all but this isn’t a date,” he speaks and notices you roll your eyes. A smug smile tugging his lips. 

“No you asshole, I have a plan with this.” 

“Tell me,” Jay begins to drive away from the school. The destination is unknown to you but extremely familiar to the boy next to you. 

“In here there is a bunch of food, in order for you to eat, you’re gonna have to say the name of the food in french.” He turns his head to see you looking back at him, a sweet smile places on your face. Jay has always known of you. You sat in the back of the classroom, handed in all your work on time and never skipped a class. You had very few friends and always seemed to be lost in a dream world when you weren’t working. Jay had never been able to speak to you personally as you always avoided him but know he has the chance to actually talk to you, and he doesn’t wanna mess it up. 

The car stopped at the edge of a giant grassy field. The greenery going miles ahead. Trees surrounding the two of you. Jay like a gentleman runs out of the car to open the door for you. You blush at his actions, thanking him silently by smiling at him. 

He directs you to a small spot under a tree. You lay out a blanket for you to sit on while Jay leans up against the tree. You tell him to sit down next to you as you bring out all the little snacks to share with him. He thinks that he could get used to this. 

“D’accord, commençons! Qu'est-ce que ç'est?” (okay, lets start! What is this?) 

You pick up a grape. He thinks for a little bit before answering. “Un raisin.” (a grape) You clap with glee and hand him over the grape. A silence falls between you both, unaware of how to keep going. He picks up a strawberry and brings it to your face. “Tu aime les fraises?” (do you like strawberries?) You eye him for a second, for someone who said he only knows how to ask how to go the bathroom in french, he knows quite a bit. You nod a little, opening your mouth and letting him feed you the sweet fruit. Your face matches the colour of the strawberry and he giggles. You pull out a sandwich and ask him to describe what’s in it. 

“Dans le sandwich, il y a du jambon, du beurre, et de la tomate.” (in the sandwich there is some ham, some butter, and some tomato.) He speaks confidently. 

“Trés bien Jay! Tu es bon en parler francias!” (very good Jay! You are really good at speaking French!) 

“Merci, mon Cheri.” (Thank you, my dear.) you blush even more before and shy away from Jay’s gaze. Jay being the very bold guy that he is, placing his hand underneath your jaw, forcing you to meet his eyes. You both just stare at each other as the sun sets behind you. Was Jay always this beautiful? His eyes scan over your face seeking for any discomfort, none is to be found. So he makes the move and starts to lean in. You already have your eyes closed and lips puckered out, ready to embrace a feeling you’ve never felt before.

His breath fans over your lips and just before he kisses you he asks “je peux t’embrasser? (can I kiss you?) you eagerly nod and whisper out “embrasse-moi.” (kiss me.) Jay finally places his lips on yours and everything feels right. Your hands find their way to the back of his neck to deepen the kiss. You stay in this position with him for a little while before you pull back for air. Both his hands cradle your face, his thumb rubbing across the apples of your cheeks.

“I still have a lot to learn y’know?” Jay breaks the silence. You laugh out loud, falling into his lap. 

“Same time next week then yeah?” He lets out a ‘hmm’ and watches you rest your head against his thigh, playing with the ends of your hair. ‘Maybe France could wait a little’ he thought.

[takaraphoenix]

☕ ShinKai (not kaishin though I wouldn't mind if you gush about kaishin ; ) )

Thanks for playing! :)

That order is not for me. I can see why it appeals to people, I do think of Kaito as a switch, he definitely bottoms with Saguru. I just prefer Shinichi as a bottom and with him, Kaito as a top. Though I've not really written a whole lotta smut for them, or read it for that matter. They're more about the... emotional comfort for me? That they can provide to each other, a solace in their messy lives. So the question of KaiShin vs ShinKai very rarely really... comes up for me, because smut only rarely comes up.

But just them, in general? Gosh I am fairly sure I could write a 10k essay about them at this point. Pretty sure the rambling posts I keep making after every single thing I rewatch amount to that in the end.

Soulmates.

There is just... so much between them? The trust, the banter, the mutual understanding of what their relationship is. Because... this isn't a thief and a detective. Kaito specifically, canonically plans magic heists to entertain Shinichi and on more occasions than not, Shinichi corners Kaito all alone, announces his presence and gives Kaito ample time to escape even though there have been many instances where, if he had alerted the police instead of looking for a one on one meeting, or if he had used his watch-gun instead if announcing his presence, Shinichi absolutely could have arrested Kaito by now. If he really wanted it.

This is all a game, to them both, and you can see the manic glee in both their eyes when they are being challenged by the other. The excitement, the thrill of having an intellectual equal up the stakes for them.

They come together at the end and have a conversation, Kaito indulges Shinichi and listens to all of the deductions instead of trying to get away. They banter about the case.

The way they sense each other's presence in canon is complete soulmate behavior, I mean it's ridiculous, it's not even "in this room of ten people, I can tell that KID is among is", it's in a crowd of a hundred people and for Kaito it's even from a ridiculous distance. When it would absolutely regardless of genius intellect be physically impossible to tell someone specific was there too. But they just... sense each other.

Every single time Kaito saves Shinichi's life adds years to my own life span. Just, Conan falling off buildings or out of ships or planes and Kaito just dives right after him and carries him. Also, generally Kaito hugging Conan and carrying while flying, also adds years to my life.

There are so many instances where they just... work together. The movies are a godsend on that front, honestly. I mean, seriously, they pretend to be about some heist but at the end of the day, the majority of KID featuring movies spend a third of the movie just on Kaito and Shinichi working together to save the day and it is everything.

The fact that Kaito knows, somehow, that Conan is Shinichi (and it drives me mad that we don't ever seem to get to know how exactly he figured THAT out) and that he goes out of his way to protect that secret, but also impersonates Shinichi to mess with him. 10/10 would recommend, amazing dynamic.

They're just... everything? I mean, truly, their dynamic has everything I could ask for. This is it. This is the OTP to rule them all. I had... forgotten just how much I loved it; I know I love it and it's always been on my mind when asked to list my favorite ships but in recent years it got pushed to a lower place in my top five because more recent ships felt like they meant more because I only just engaged with the medium. I was however entirely wrong. No other ship compares to KaiShin and I should have never let my love for it go dormant for that many years and forget just how much I really love this ship.

send me ☕️ + [topic] and i’ll tell you my opinion on it!

[i-can-bench-220]

💙 fraphne + the five love languages!! 💜

a silly ramble with some canon things, but mostly my own headcanons! these two have given me so much brainrot it is unfair

1) words of affirmation

they’re constantly uplifting and engaging in each others’ interests, even if it’s something they wouldn’t normally be into themselves. it starts off with an innocent “wow, can you tell me more about that?” mainly for the sake of seeing the other happily gush about Their Thing™, but then you just Know that they both go off and start obsessively researching each others’ interests only to become fascinated with them on their own terms!! they never wait until a moment of insecurity or doubt to make the other feel good about themselves, they’re just constantly reminding one another of how proud they are of them to the point where it’s a little cheesy. daphne is much better at wording compliments: “they’re going to love you. they’ll be blown away by your ideas, i just know it!” while fred is better with reassurance: “hey, don’t worry about anything. i’ll never leave you, ever.” they also put little sticky-note messages for one another on like. everything. to an absurd degree. they prefer it to texting, it's just a small something that can always make their day!!

2) physical touch

daphne finds herself naturally jumping into fred’s arms often when she’s scared/needs comfort or just wants to mess with him. fred never minds the suddenness or the teasing. and if fred has pulled an all-nighter working on something, he usually finds himself dozing off on daphne’s shoulder. daphne never minds the restlessness or the snoring. fred also just gives really good hugs. you just know he does. and the hand holding. oh my god the hand holding. whether it be linking pinkies, holding the other’s wrist or fully interlacing fingers, there’s rarely a moment when they’re not physically connected in some small way. they made each other swear a vow when they were younger that they will continue to hold hands even if they’ve had an argument, as a way of physically reminding the other that they still care about them even if they might be angry right now. it looks a little silly from afar, but it helps them to laugh off trivial disagreements quickly.

3) giving gifts

daphne is just. constantly spending money on fred and he has to tell her to Not Do That!! but she does it anyway because she loves him!! she is the definition “hey i saw this at the store and it made me think of you”. equally, fred will pretend that he didn’t see daphne eyeing that plushie or that dress, but it’ll be the first thing she opens on her next birthday. both know that material possessions aren’t everything, but when they give gifts, They Give Gifts!! they know each other inside out, and every purchase is filled with meaning, thought and love. they are also fond of making things for one another! daphne is handy with crafts and sewing, and in particular loves to needle felt!! she has felted many a friend for mr trapples. meanwhile, fred is obviously great with mechanics and woodwork, and has invented many a bizarre yet clever contraption in order to help daphne with whatever she may need. some are more useful than others, but it's the thought that counts!

4) acts of service

fred is probably the king of this one. he finds household chores oddly therapeutic, so he takes care of the ones that he hasn't built an overly-elaborate contraption for and/or knows daphne doesn’t like. his cooking isn’t exactly the best-looking or most flavourful, but it’s made with love!! with every breakfast in bed for his gf he improves a little. meanwhile, daphne is always taking trips down to the store for the foods fred likes, and volunteers as a test dummy for his traps when needed (provided that it isn't one that will hurt her, of course). in high school they are/were the Gods of study sessions. fred is stronger on sciences and number-based subjects, while daphne is better with english and humanities. so a bit like shaggy and scooby in frankencreepy, together they make one whole (academic) brain and will single-handedly destroy the school system. all they need are some snacks and some cushions, and they can be sitting at the coffee table in fred's living room basically tutoring one another for hours on end!!

5) quality time

fred is always eager to carry daphne’s bags on shopping trips, and god if it weren’t for her impeccable taste in picking outfits for him he would definitely be wearing the same shirt every single day. i think they just love to try all sorts of different clothes for the fun of it, competing to create the stupidest combinations possible and getting into breathless laughing fits until one of them tries on something that suits them so well and the other just smiles this huge goofy grin and sheds a single tear. meanwhile, when Trappin’ Time™ eventually rolls around in their latest mystery, daphne secretly gets so excited to pull a lever, set up a tripwire or press a button. it seems small and silly, but she knows it’s a memory that fred will treasure, and over time she grows to treasure each one herself, and the little part she got to play in it. every little thing they do together is precious to them, from movie nights, to singing showtunes together while driving, to just wordlessly cuddling on the sofa.

(as a little bonus for fun, here's a song that reminds me of them a lot!!)

#i have so many thoughts in my silly head about these silly soulmates #i'd love to do more posts like this in future if people like them!! #please feel free to send asks if you'd like me to talk about a specific headcanon for a character/ship/anything!! :D #scooby doo #fred jones #daphne blake #fraphne #nem’s scooby headcanons!
