do you have a favorite loonatics unleashed episode?
Yes, I do!
Of course, it's a common answer, but my personal favorite episode is The Family Business. This episode is my favorite since it explores such an interesting part of the canon (the relations within Rev's family & the relations between roadrunners and coyotes). And, of course, I love Rev! And Tech, too! But Rev needs all of the love!!!
Besides The Family Business, my two other personal favorites are The Menace of Mastermind and It Came from Outer Space. These two episodes are the strongest in terms of their pacing, and there is a lot of great interactions between most of the characters (I say most because Slam doesn't interact much; but then again, Slam barely talks with the other Loonatics in most episodes, so whatever).
It Came from Outer Space
Personally, It Came from Outer Space is one of the funniest episodes of the show. Or at the very least, it is one of the stronger episodes in terms of comedy. Each character is fun to watch. Additionally, I love the inclusion of the classic Looney Tunes reference and how this gag is tied into the plot (picture above). This joke is very tastefully done (at least in comparison to the references that were made in Loonatics on Ice).
As a side rant, I love Rev here. This scene (shown above) is brief, but there is a lot to dissect ("Say, remember what Lexi said about feeling like Helen of Troy? Maybe we could make her really feel that way!").
For earlier context, when Melvin threatens to the Loonatics that he will blow up Acmetropolis if he can't abduct Lexi, Lexi comments that she feels like Helen of Troy. After saying this, everyone is confused, including Tech and Rev. Rev even looks behind himself and softly shakes his head side to side (shown below).
In the next few scenes, Rev is nowhere to be seen.
Later on, Rev doesn't show up until everyone is seated at the circular mission table except for Lexi.
It is revealed that Lexi went onto Melvin's ship for the sake of saving the city. Then, Tech & Ace talk about getting her back. Tech establishes that Melvin's spacecraft is impenetrable. Here, Rev proposes that they infiltrate Melvin's ship via a Trojan Horse. Sure, this scene is brief, but it really speaks a lot on Rev's character.
I am going to incorporate this idea into a later fic, but I love the premise that Rev is a huge book junkie who will read up on any subject. In my head, I think that Rev read a lot about Helen of Troy and learned about the Trojan Horse. This would explain why Rev wasn't present in that section of the episode.
This would also explain why Rev was confused when he heard Helen of Troy earlier and then proposed the Trojan Horse idea later.
As an aside, this moment is one of the few times when Tech is genuinely confused about something, and it is SO funny (picture below).
The Menace of Mastermind
This episode is a really entertaining episode overall.
The Menace of Mastermind: I loved the premise of this episode (where Mastermind infiltrates the Loonatics HQ). In terms of characterization, Mastermind is one of the best Loonatics villains.
There are a lot of one-liners here, too ("What?! Now is exactly the time to panic!", "My brilliant inventions. What has that ghastly woman done to my babies?!", etc.).
Like I said, this episode is fun to watch.
I especially like this scene when the Loonatics realize that their spare weapons were modified by Mastermind. Here (in the image below), Tech's spare weapons were altered so that they would wrap around each person's hands. And so each character has to break the ropes around their hands.
Of course, each character has their own way of getting out of their restraints (brute force, laser vision, teleportation, etc.).
In this part, Rev aims the weapon in front of himself.
HE FIRES AND USES HIS SPEED TO GO IN FRONT OF THE PROJECTILE
AND THE PROJECTILE STRIKES HIS OWN WEAPON
AND HE IS NO LONGER STUCK TO THE WEAPON
LIKE WHAT
MY CHILD IS SO SMART <3
Also, this episode has one of the most underrated TechRev moments of all time. There is an earlier scene in the episode where the Loonatics are hiding inside of the vents from Mastermind. Rev, Lexi, and Slam go to shut off the EMP.
When Lexi asks about where the EMP is located, Tech says, "It's hidden right in plain sight, and comes with simple instructions."
Later on, Rev, Lexi, and Slam find the EMP. Lexi says, "Aww, Tech said they'd come with simple instructions. Simple my lucky foot."
Then, Rev says, "I got this. Step 1: Arm primary ignition sequence using standard alphanumeric code calculations. Step 2: Insert electron overdrive..."
I LOVE this scene. It is perfect. This scene shows not only shows Rev's intelligence, but it also shows how familiar Rev is with Tech's thinking. It shows how Tech and Rev are comfortable with each other, even when they are not physically together. It's great.
I also love this shot (shown below) when Rev casually looks away from the screen while he is still talking at the same quick speed. Meanwhile, Lexi is beyond confused. It's a comical riot.
Also, this is really subtle, but I adore this detail: the next scene with Rev & Lexi shows that Rev is the person who is holding the EMP device (shown below). It's funny to think that Lexi just handed Rev the device so that he could deal with it.
Overall, my favorite episode of this show is The Family Business, but I also really enjoyed The Menace of Mastermind & It Came from Outer Space, too.
edit: updated the pictures for The Menace of Mastermind with ones that were higher quality

Psych x Community ??
I love psych and i love community so this vague concept of them existing in the same universe has been floating around in my head.
The key connecting factor being the references to Shawn/Britta’s similarly eclectic off-screen pasts. They're close in age so I'm like okay - it would totally be possible for them to have known eachother/dated/whatever at some point before.
psych aired from 2006 - 2014; Shawn born 1977
community aired from 2009 -2014; Britta born 1980
(Take these two quotes just as an example but it's referenced casually throughout both shows)
Britta’s Dad: I mean, every time we get too close, you run off. We sent you a birthday card to your apartment in New York, and the next week you’re setting fire to a Jamba Juice in San Jose.
Britta: How long is that gonna stick with me?
Britta’s Mom: Until arson is legal, sweetie.
Gus: Shawn, you’ve had fifty-seven jobs since we left high school.
Shawn: Yes I have. And they were all fun. But this one takes the cake.
Gus: Oh yeah? Better than the acupuncture clinic?
Shawn: I didn’t realize experience was necessary.
Gus: What about the summer you spent driving the weiner mobile?
Shawn: I did that for the hot dogs.
I think they fit somewhere in the ballpark of each other's types, both sluts(affectionate) and it makes sense for them to have crossed paths at some point during Britta's “anhercists” days.
So that establishes a link between the groups, but what would it be like if they interacted? Take the arbitrary scenario; Shawn and Gus have gotten themselves and by extension the SBPD into another whacky shenanigan somehow who cares how i'm not writing this
I imagine initially everyone in the study group has a more or less positive impression of Shawn because he's charming, (with the notable exception of…you got it! Jeff)
JEFF
In typical jeff fashion is immediately threatened by Shawn because he has to be the coolestmostlikeabledude™ in the room at all times while simultaneously has to act like he doesn't care so he's quietly seething and - hey what's this new dude doing here making all my friends laugh that's my job! i must now make it my life's mission to prove this guys a fraud and reclaim my status no matter how much a fool i make of myself in the process (a la: advanced documentary filmmaking)
BRITTA
Normal standard “hey old friend” situation, remember when we *insane thing involving multiple felonies and property destruction* haha anyway let me introduce you to my friends -
ANNIE
immediate skepticism that Shawn is able to sidestep pretty quickly by being charming/flirty (NOT in a gross way *hisses at the jeffannie shippers*) Her reaction being like when the dean “swaps bodies with jeff” or after abed’s don draper impression.
ABED
Knows Shawn isn't really psychic but goes along with it/doesn’t point out that Shawn’s hyper observant because he's invested in watching the psychic/cop show formula play out. He would! and I would too!
(quote from 5x03 Basic Intergluteal Numismatics):
Abed Nadir: [Pretending to read the crime scenes as a psychic] I see a man... using a social disorder as a procedural device. Wait, wait, wait, I see another man. Mildly autistic super detectives everywhere.
TROY
Obligatory: “you’re wrinkling my brain right now” and just general fascination, awe, and wonderment. Asks Shawn to tell him his future
SHIRLEY
Immediate judgment on Shawn's practices not being christian enough for her standards, but easily swayed to liking him once he picks up on something and comments on her ex husband being an idiot to lose her or something
PEIRCE
Does his peirce thing and tries to seem impressive and fails, something level five laser lotus blah blah - u get it thats enough on him
THE DEAN
Is facilitating the psych crew being there because it might bring in good press for greendale and he def does the hand on shoulder thing when he meets him you know the one - omg and totally is into Lassiter furrowed brows “im packing heat” Carlton, please. – lassie is Not Amused™
CHANG
This depends on what point in community canon this interaction takes place because season 1 chang would prob be normal(for him), but like season 5 Chang would do/say something so insane and so chang that i can't even come up with it
As for our psych guys, Gus points out how weird and fucked up and bizarre Greendale is meanwhile Shawn is LIVING for it - signs them up for the Dean’s PA announcements class, and “Gus! buddy! I hope you don't mind. I used your credit card to sign us up for The History of Ice Cream. Come on, it starts in 20 minutes ! :D” Gus: “Shawn! >:0”
Lassie would just nonstop point out all the health and safety violations- he doesn't want to be here- calls a lot of people hippies, generally grumpy demeanor and we love him for it.
Starburns terribly hits on Jules - gets rejected, proceeds to try and sell her drugs - gets arrested.

so my thoughts on the final 60th special.
Spoilers below the cut. Read at your own risk.
Soho. I know it's 1925 but Good Omens anyone?
I like The Avenger still theme music and tower (not) although Murray Gold is fucking great. How did they get they get planning permission for that? Also, the Brig would hate to see UNIT out in the open.
MEL. MEL. MEL. MEL. I FUCKING LOVE MEL :D
Government going mad? I thought it was already.
I love that they're showing Mel being a computer genius and mentioning the classic series and the consequences of travelling with the Doctor.
Stupid fucking laser.
Sonic, TARDIS, Time Lord. Take that away and what am I? Why are there so many Marvel ref- oh wait...
Yay, more dodgy CGI
I love that they're bringing back past companions (apart from the Flux mention) and also mentioning that the Doctor's life isn't all peaches. Yes companions die and that should be mentioned more often
That dance scene was fucking mental. Also, UNIT guards are fucking stupid. Why would you continue firing at someone when the bullets were turned into flowers!!!!
Why is it that Tennant always offer villains a really homoerotic option to go with him?
Ok I'll admit- I wasn't expecting that for 14's regeneration
TWO DOCTOR'S WHAT THE FUCK (why doesn't he have any trousers?)
I agree Mel- he is beautiful
Nice call back with the tooth
ADRIC! SARAH JANE!
'We're Time Lords' correct, you are. Let's ignore the Timeless Child bullshit
So 14 is suffering from burnout?
Duplicating TARDIS? I agree Donna, it is completely nuts.
'Only communicates with their eyebrows'- THIRD DOCTOR REFERENCE
Overall I preferred it to the first episode but I didn't enjoy it as much as last weeks. I wish that there was a proper regeneration scene the 14 died and 15 fully took over. NPH was alright, not my favourite villain but not my least favourite either. I like the call backs to classic!who and even to earlier series, to show that the Doctor does suffer losses and isn't perfect.
I'm really looking forward to Ncuti's series. He seems like he's going to be a really fun Doctor and I have hope for his series.

Don't Mind me. Reminiscing~
Really fucking enjoying the Super Mario RPG remake, and it's really making me think about to how influential it truly was.
I lived in Maryland and was 6 years old when I first played Super Mario RPG for the SNES. My parents rented it for me from fucking Blockbuster.
See, I didn't know how to read at the time, and my parents picked it up because they were like "hey, this is a Mario Game," recognizing it because both have played and are familiar with arcade stuff. My late mother LOVED tetris, atari games, galaga, etc and i remembered fondly when I was age ~3-4 where I played co-op Ms. Pacman with her on our Sega Genesis. And I spent those ages playing Sonic the Hedgehog games and the Gameboy Donkey Kong on this:
However, JRPGs werent really a thing anyone except my uncle played at the time.
But yes, my unable-to-read ass played this game and didnt know what the fuck was going on. The game had an approx. 75% complete file on it already (People didnt always erase their files on rented games), and i just fucked around on that. Didnt know what i was doing, BUT Super Mario Rpg was a very easy game and baby trans-girl verzi was 10000% enamored with ANY game that allowed The Princess to be a playable, and BOWSER too???? holy shit!! UNprecedented. WHY WAS HE A GOOD GUY??? IDK who the fluffy guy is, but I fell in love with the Cool Blue Dude Too. He had lasers and made Cool Rainbow Beams Smash down from the sky.
But alas, we only kept it for a couple days, and my dad returned it. I had him re-rent it later, but!! it was a different copy!!! It had NO save files, so I was forced to do a new one.
Needless to say, I had a rough time. I had to guess which decisions were the right ones cuz Couldn't Read, so i got stuck in Toad's explanation loop for a while. and my inability to reliably get the action commands meant I kept getting killed by THIS fucker.
Alas, I never got past the first area, and baby verzi was MAD cuz i wanted to use the PRINCESS and throw BOMBS at people with her.
So!!! Baby Verzi used this drive to learn how to fucking READ. She asked her parents to buy this game (and they did) and she learned her reading, finally learning how to PLAY THIS GAME.
With newfound Literacy, I was able to figure who Mallow was, and learned that Geno was a Cool Star Dude possessing a Doll which was incredibly rad to me at the time. His intro scene is burned in my brain, and seeing it in 3d today was incredible.
I've beaten this game so many times that I know exactly what's happening when and where.
It really set the bar for me when it came to JRPGs, since it was legit my first one. My 2nd ever JRPG, Breath of Fire also for the SNES, had me baffled cuz why COULDNT I do more damage if I timed my attacks??? wtf. (Love that series too. BoF4 was also another Formative Verzi Game).
This game meant/means a lot to me and I'm a sucker for any media that referenced it, or built off of the groundwork it set (like the paper mario and Mario&Luigi games, and hell, Sea of Stars!!! It has!!! SO MANY MARIO RPG REFERENCES). So I just wanted to ramble a bit as I dug up memories, as we old folks are won't to do.~

Ungrateful.
Rgh...
*Outside the lab, Byakuya looks over a long list, and takes a marker to cross yet another one off.
The drill didn’t work, the charges didn’t work...we can’t even hack the god damn system.
On the bright side, I think we’re starting to put some dents in the door...
Even if we are, we don’t have enough charges to spare.
Then we’ll just make more...You did say Kaede was a top priority, right?
I did say that Shuichi, but be realistic. It’s true that we could make more bombs, but like Makoto said, we’ve only left a slight dent in the doors.
And we’ve fired off...what...16 of those charges already? There’s gotta be a more efficient and realistic way.
Grrgh...
...Easy Shuichi. You know she’s right.
I know...
Ey Boss. I’m back.
Kuripa...!
*Kuripa strides up to the rest of the group, accompanied by Rantaro.
How did things go?
Where have you been?
At the other entrance. Wouldn’t be a lot of good if Future Foundation just prioritized the one, is it?
Have you had any luck using the resources to open it?
Yes, we’ve got it open, as you can clearly tell from the excitement on my face.
No need for sarcasm kid. What happened?
Well, drill’s fucked, bomb’s are fucked, clamp is fucked...and everyone’s fucking exhausted. End of story.
Seriously though, all the men you left the three of us with are bloody knackered. They’ve been running back and forth, setting up this and that, and even now, Munakata’s got them working on the laser.
Laser!? I didn’t know we had a laser!?
We didn’t...until now. Courtesy of Miu Iruma. That girl might not be dainty, but she gets the job done when it counts.
In fact, she’s actually started work on another project should this one fails. I think she called it...an Electrohammer or something?
Miu’s remaking the Electrohammers!?
What exactly are they?
Tools she invented to help us combat the Death Road. One swing shuts down any Monokuma/Zetsubou related technology, including the Exisal’s.
Which means if the lab uses the same technology as Zetsubou tends to use, it could work!
Oh! Uh...Yeah...about that...
Huh? What’s up 404?
Kuripa and I did our own little investigation into the lab, and tried to figure out a few things...how old it is, when it was built, who built it...etc...
We discovered two things because of it.
And those are...what exactly?
For one thing...we’ve figured out exactly why our attempts at communication and hacking haven’t been able to get through to the lab.
Isn’t it because of the AI put in place?
Well, yes, it is...but there’s more to it than we thought.
I realized that if we were going to have any chance at countering it, I’d have to strike at the AI directly...but that’s when I noticed something.
...What?
When I tried hacking into the AI system...it seemed to actively try and avoid my attempts.
And not in any set pattern either. Like, it saw what I was doing, and did anything it could to shut me down while keeping the door’s closed.
One AI program is capable of doing all of that? How?
Well, we came to a conclusion...We’re not just dealing with any sort of AI.
That lab is being protected...by an Alter Ego.
An Alter Ego!?
Uh...Isn’t that that computer version of Mr Fujisaki? Or are you guys talking about something else?
It’s the term we use to refer to strong AI that can think and act like humans. Chihiro’s Alter Ego is one, but so are Chiaki and Sora
So...the AI protecting the lab is strong AND conscious...
Could it be Junko Enoshima’s AI?
No, I doubt it. This is the only notable institute for miles away.
Junko Enoshima’s AI has to be within relatively close proximity to Yukari Koime. If she’s not, they risk mentally, and LITERALLY in the AI’s case, shutting down.
That Koime’s got one hell of a condition.
I have no sympathy for her...That whore murdered Mukuro...
To be honest...the thought of her brain shutting down...her eyes rolling back in her head...blood pouring from the orifices...It’s what helps me sleep at night...
Uuuh...!
Kuripa! Snap out of it, you’re being creepy again!
Oh, sorry!
Gah...Back to the point...If it’s not Junko Enoshima, who could it be? Mikado Sannoji?
Not impossible. Zetsubou have had more than enough time to resuscitate his AI.
I don’t think so. I think he’s still long gone.
Why is that?
Believe me, I sat through a whole Killing Game with the guy. Mikado’s too boastful.
Though he pleads otherwise, he’s an attention seeker and nothing else. He would want us to KNOW he’s responsible for screwing us over.
So, considering he’s yet to rear his ugly head, I don’t think it’s him.
YoYo has a point...I can’t deny that logic...
Well...there is one other possibility. You know what I refer to...right Setsuka?
Huh?
*Everyone looks at Ando.
I’m not the only thing that went missing from the Kisaragi Foundation, right?
You weren’t...but I was under the impression it wasn’t finished...
It wasn’t...but if Zetsubou are capable of recreating the AI’s of Mikado Sannoji and Junko Enoshima, it’s highly possible they finished it...AND added their own personal touch too.
...
I think I know what the two of you refer to, but there will be more time to discuss that later.
You said you uncovered something else, right? What is it?
Oh, well, pay close attention Bosswife. THIS is really gonna blow your mind.
Kaito...Just now you said if the lab uses the same technology as Zetsubou tends to use, the Electrohammers and Electro-bombs could be used to open the lab up, right?
Yeah.
Well, there’s the problem.
What? What are you talking about.
This lab...it’s NOT Zetsubou’s...
What!?
Wh-What do you mean by that?
You know how we were wondering how it was possible that Zetsubou was able to gain this many materials within such a short space of time?
The actual reason is that they didn’t. SOMEONE ELSE made this lab, and Zetsubou just took it over.
But...Who? In order to make a lab with this much in-built tech, and on this big a scale, you’d have to have power and money equal to that of an institute like the Future Foundation or Kisaragi Foundation.
Who could be powerful enough to get this many resources?
...No idea.
You don’t!?
Nope. Rantaro and I came to another conclusion though. Zetsubou didn’t wipe out whoever owned this lab before they took it over. Apparently, it’s been abandoned for a long time.
With all the resources they put into this place, it’s amazing they just...left it. Are you sure you’ve got your facts right?
Even if you don’t trust my calculations, trust his. We were actually able to determine a near exact year date of when this place was built.
We determined that this place finished construction in early 2011.
So it’s been around for well over 10 years.
2011...That’s the year the Jabberwock Island Killing Game happened...You think it could be related?
Maybe it’s base of the Remnants? It’s not like we could expect any of them to remember.
I may be able to ask. I’ve caught word that the Ultimate Imposter will be returning to the Tower in the next few days. We can relay his information through our agents still over there, assuming he doesn’t come directly here.
Good. At least we got some new information...Even if it’s not much, we can base theories off of that.
Does it really matter? Knowing when this lab was built, who built it and how it’s being manned by an AI...None of it is gonna help get it open!
Easy Shuichi. We’ve only JUST received this info. There’s no way we can say that for sure.
Rantaro. Can I trust you to relay this information to Kaede inside?
Sure, I’ll get in contact with her ASAP. Anything else?
...
Yes...Kuripa. Return to the other door and tell the soldiers to return to camp and set up for the night. We’ll do the same here.
Set up!? B-But we’re not finished! I thought you said they were busy manning the laser!?
He ALSO said the soldiers were exhausted. They can’t keep going like this Shuichi.
Rantaro will contact Kaede, and we’ll put the process on hold for now. We won’t be getting into the lab at all if our men collapse. Besides, it’s getting late, so we should all turn in for the night.
...
You’re useless...!
Wh-what did you just say...!?
YOU’RE USELESS!
*SHOVE!*
UGH!
YOU’RE ALL USELESS!
H-Hey! SHUICHI!?
*Shuichi shoves past Kyoko and storms off into the trees, his expression thoroughly livid.
Y-You alright Kyoko!?
I’m...fine...It was only a little push.
What the hell is he thinking!? How dare he do that! I don’t care if he IS supposed to be my superior, I can’t let that stand!
Me neither...Hey, Shuichi! Get back here!
...
*Shuichi ignores Makoto completely, and disappears into the darkness of the trees.
God dammit...! SHUICHI!
Hey! Wait!
*Kaito and Maki chase after him.
...
*Kuripa glares after them, a dark and cunning expression on his face.

Mo's guide to magic, pt. 1(?)
welcome! in this I try to explain my interpretation of the sso magic system, starting with the four soul rider circles ofc. feel free to share your own ideas and thoughts, as this isn't waterproof and probably doesn't make that much sense, but it works for me and critique and ideas are ofc appreciated!
first off, this post focuses on the spells and abilities exclusive to each circle. users from different circles are still able to use the same basic magic (e.g. fire or transformation spells as well as all types of healing plants and everything i can't think of right now) as well as all kinds of enhanced magic of their circle and "dark" magic (as the keepers like to call it, magic itself isn't good nor bad, but for what and how it's used). different individuals will excel in different types of magic, yada yada yada
Lightning Circle
this is the circle that is mostly known for its use in combat, and for a good reason. the lighning circle is referred to as the "judgment" of aideen and its members have a reputation as warriors and fighters amongst the keepers. this is reflected in the way the circle is able to use magic, since it really is simply using different kinds of lightning.
the soul strike is the one most used, as it is the most harmless of the bunch. there is no heat involved in this form, as in contrast to the others. soul strike simply is a bright lighning bolt with the capability to freeze/paralyze its opponent. this is caused by the electricity of the lighning numbing and paralyzing the opponent which renders them unable to move/speak.
fire strike on the other hand is literal lightning. besides the voltage number users can also control the amount of heat that gets released while fighting. additionally, this type of lightning magic can and will cause the opponent and sometimes even the user physical injuries such as burns and scars depending on the intensity used. melting or setting things on fire is also a very real possibility as well as causing electronics to short-circuit
lightning ball is the hardest and rarest form used by circle members for the simple reason that it requires a lot of training and effort to form fire strike into a ball. in addition to all the characteristics and dangers fire strike posses, lightning ball has also the ability to rip holes through people and objects, so it should be used with precision. so, yes, you can pull of a kamehameha with this, but please don't rip any holes into things (esp buildings)
Sun Circle
obviously, being able to create portals is pretty useful, tho it shouldn't be used too much because ripping a hole into space and time isn't exactly a good thing and should (technically) only be used when necessary. it is also possible to create pure light, which is quite useful to scare away shadow seekers (Anne can confirm this). the next step would be to form this little light into a small projectile. if you manage this, you are your very own laser! (we are talking about pure light, which radiates heat, please, for the love of aideen, use with caution.) also, please keep in mind that this can seriously injure/temporarily blind people. if that was your goal, then congrats or smth
but besides the obvious use of the sun circle it also has a pretty neat trick: shields. after all, the circle is known as "aideens shield", would be weird if they didnt have any shields. these are created by taking light and forming it into a *insert preferred shield shape of the user* and boom, you have a shield. (it should be noted that these shields are made of pure light, so they radiate heat. if any opponents run against them or you accidentally hit your fellow soul rider with them, a trip to the ER or next star circle member might be needed. burns are no fun) the brightness of the shield is what determines the heat of it, too. keep it to a low and your opponent will just loose a tooth if they run against it instead of having half their face melted of. again, unless that's what you would want for whatever reason
Moon Circle
i know, the moon circle usually isn't used in combat and has its strengths in fortune telling as well as seeing into the past/future. that doesn't mean it's completely useless in battle tho, because it can grant you the ability to become invisible. it's hard for your opponent to beat you up if they can't see you, duh. and they have all kinds of common magic not exclusive to their circle ar their disposal, so there's no need to worry abt it's members
(maybe give them an ibuprofen and some peace and quiet if they use their little dissapering trick quite often as it can lead to pretty bad headaches. magic is not without its disadvantages)
Star Circle
okay, the healers. those people are busiest after the battle takes place, as they usually are the one to take care of any injuries from others and their own. still, just like the moon circle, they are not defenseless in battle. their power lays with healing and creating, and creating is what comes in handy.
see, stars are basically just far away suns, which means their far away balls of fire that give of light. a random run-in with a dark rider? boom, sword made of materialized light. (or polearms, greatsword, whatever suits your taste and you can handle best. it can also just be a shield if no sun circle user is avaliable. or a baseball bat. the members imagination is their limit.) as to the dangers, same drill as with the sun circle. keep the brightness on the low, and your hands will thank you since, unlike sun shields, you actually have to touch your weapon of choice.
surprisingly, this less common use of the star circle is less taxing on members than the healing, as it takes a lot if enery out of them and tends to leave users exhausted and tired.
of course, depending on what circle you are part of will also somewhat predetermine which kind of magic you are naturally inclined to. most star circle users are great at memorizing healing plants and lightning and sun circle users have a favor for fire spells. those are just the norm tho and with enough patience, training or stubbornness anyone can excel at any kind of magic they want. just make sure you don't harm anyone (that you don't intend to harm-) and look after your friends and fellow soul riders.
a/n: this was part one of probably two, as I do want to make another post going into corruption and magic poisoning, aka the stuff evergray, anne and montana have going for them. there is also a difference between earth and pandorian magic, which could also be interesting to go into, as the soul riders and keepers do use pandorian magic (imo, simply bc I love the irony) and witches tend to dabble in both (mrs. h probably uses mainly earth magic imo tho). and if there are any aspects I forgot or could go more into detail, let me know! I love talking abt magic systems, lore and the silly little world building from the story I always keep talking abt but probably will never publish.
#sso#ssoblr#mo talks lore#i know you offered to draw stuff @lukas crowsong but i am terrified to talk to others (ﾒ﹏ﾒ)#also if anyone wants to use any of this for their story or art feel free to do so!#and i apologize for any grammar or spelling or formating mistakes it is currently 3:24#which means i probably wont read through this again before publishing it tomorrow#bc i am lazy#and hate to read stuff again i wrote#which is why i never get to publish fanfics even tho i have a 10k xia*ven wip that isnt even finished#censoring bc i dont want it to clog up their tag#if it still does: i am sorry

Feathers Reacts: Motorcity - Episode 10 - The Duke of Detroit Presents . . .
*Duke of Detroit voice* "HEY!"
Time for more Motorcity! Yow!
Episode 10 Thoughts
Oh, buddy. Mike "I can't sleep because we haven't been attacked in days" Chilton, you are experiencing a stress response.
Dutch: "You gotta learn to relax!" Yes, thank you, please mom friend the mom friend. He needs it.
Does Texas have glasses with screens in them so that he can watch movies? I just looked this up and apparently Motorcity was contemporary with the initial crowdfunding campaign for the Oculus Rift. Probably a coincidence, but neat!
Aaaaand Mike almost attacked the waitress at Antonio's. Not to psychoanalyze cartoon characters (actually, what else do I live for?) but I can't tell if Mike is hyperactive and understimulated by day-to-day life, or if he's hypervigilant from cadet training and/or the past year of living under constant threat. Or both?
It looks like they're driving in late afternoon sunlight, but I thought that Deluxe completely covers Motorcity. Maybe the refinery is outside the city limits? Maybe Deluxe only covers parts of the city?
Friends, pals, Burners, have you EVER considered that you don't need to drive several hundred miles an hour down a windy canyon road? No? Just Chuck? Okay. XD
"Chuckles" :)
Sometimes the things that come out of the Duke of Detroit's mouth are so utterly unexpected that I have to rewind to figure out what he's said. In other completely unrelated news, I think we should all start greeting each other with the phrase, "Bonj-aloha."
My question is, did the Duke draw all of these pictures of his own face? Did he hire someone for that purpose? Since screens can pop up out of nowhere in this universe and the Duke is incredibly wealthy, I have to imagine that the decision to communicate via audio supplemented with life-size drawings of his face was purely an aesthetic choice on his part.
. . . musical interlude for a cyborg dance???
So, is cyborg Dan a full robot or a cyborg? I am experiencing some fridge horror thinking about his head rotating 360 degrees around. Does he no longer have a spinal column??
That motorcitizen has a Mike Chilton tattoo. Incredible.
Sue Ellen, local grandma: "You know, I don't really care if they make it. I just hope someone gets blown up." *smiles pleasantly*
"No one wants to hang with a mutant. I see how it is." Cyborg Dan, are you referring to your melted face or your near 100% transition from organic body to machine?
Who but the Duke of Detroit would commission a laser-eyed fire-breathing fifty-foot-tall gilded mechanical statue of his own face? Actually, scratch that, Texas would absolutely do that if he had the funds.
"SAY HCHELLO TO MY LEETLE PLAN" Schwarzenegger Texas has killed me
Threat defeated, Mike has fallen asleep on the hood of Mutt. Absolutely adorable. Also, please develop different habits in the next decade or I guarantee you will wake up with the worst crick in your neck from sleeping in such a position.
Concluding Thoughts
What on earth is Mike going to do with himself when and if the Burners ever defeat Kane in a permanent sort of way? That guy could give the energizer bunny a run for his money.

Dar'Aliit: Chapter Eleven - The Dar'Aliit (full ver.)
Since I forgot to post all of these Friday, two full chapters versions in one day! Sneak peak coming later tonight. 💕
20 BBY Coruscant, Lower Level
Zenden's Droid Den, Scrapyard and Spares. Catchy name, if not a little lengthy. Zenden himself is a hulking spacer, half human and I think possibly half Zabarack. No horns, but his shaven head is a reddish tan. He's muscled thick, dressed in a modest flight suit and waits for us outside the humble shop.
Us meaning me. The rest of my escort as General Nidor so tactfully referred to them, is lost somewhere in traffic. I haven't bought myself much time, but it's enough to prove I don't need dead weight.
I enter the shop alone. We were given clear instructions to blend in, but I can tell by the pointed look Zenden himself is giving me, nothing about my face is blending in. I'm a clone plain and simple. Not many people have seen us without helmets, but that doesn't mean they don't know what lies underneath. Carbon copies, one after another.
The plainclothes doesn't hide anything about my identity.
"Here about a droid?" Zenden lumbers forward. "Got your request."
"Yes," I cross my arms over my chest. "Is it here?"
"Well I've got a lot of that model, but your request said something with...grey markings?"
I nod.
Zenden side eyes me as he walks toward the crate I assume holds the captive droid. Why do we rely on those things anyway? It's an R3 model according to intel. I know the information it holds is important, but droids are easy to lose, and easy to destroy. The Republic would be better off without them trundling all over the place getting into trouble like this.
"Say, what's a republic clone want with an R3 droid with such specific markings? He special or something?"
"Need a replacement," I say bluntly. "Wanted something that looked familiar."
Zenden laughs. "That so?" He mulls it over, his hands lingering at his sides. Finally he squats down and opens up the crate. I half expected to see a bomb, maybe an IG-88 coiled up inside, or worse a BX.
It's just a grey painted droid. R3, exactly like the model. In fact it is the droid I'm looking for.
Zenden turns and there's the faintest click of a safety coming off. I look up into the business end of a holdout blaster.
"I know when I'm looking at something suspicious," Zenden says, his brow furrowed dangerously over his keen eyes. "And you're mighty suspicious, clone."
I stare cooly at the blaster. "I came to buy a droid. What's wrong with that?"
"A man wanting a replacement droid doesn't care what it looks like, you can paint 'em any color. Something tells me this droid is worth more than scrap. So why him?"
I can feel the eyes on the back of my neck. The commlink in my ear pings. They've caught up.
"Good in there, Kian?"
I look up at Zenden. "Fine," I say. I hope my tone warns them off. Zendin lifts a brow, though, expecting me to continue.
He's not the only one armed. The commlink pings again.
"We're parked just outside. We have the place surrounded and we can move in at any time."
I put my hand to the back of my hip and hope they can see it. I do not need help.
"Fine what?" Zenden snaps. "Cough up some answers or I'll put a bolt in your head right here, right now!"
He means it. Empty threats are usually easy to tell. The shaking in the hands, the sweat on the brow. This man has none of them. He will kill me, and he won't feel remorse over it.
So I won't either. My hand snaps up. My holdout recoils. Laser singes skin and Zenden shrieks as the bolt shaves his ear. He fires on instinct and I duck sideways to avoid being shot in the head.
"Kriffing clone!" He fires off a few more shots. I drop my holdout and charge him. As we collide, I wrap my arms around his middle. My momentum is enough to topple the monster and we slam into the ground. Laser bolts ping off the ceiling. I can't let him fire wild or he'll hurt someone.
I straddle Zenden and grab his arm, trapping it against my chest as we wrestle for his blaster. He roars and hauls me over onto my side. The blaster fires wild into the back of the shop.
Boots clamor across the floor. "Get the droid, we've got him!"
I don't need your help!
Zenden writhes. My leg is trapped under him, my holdout is somewhere on the floor and Zenden outclasses me in strength, but some lowlife smuggler can't have years of military training.
"I can't get a clear shot!"
"Get out of the way!"
I ignore the cries for me to extricate myself and I slam the backend of my elbow into Zenden's nose. He recoils, roaring, and blood spurts from his nostril. I disarm him quickly while he's stunned and stick the blaster under his chin.
Zenden's dazed eyes blink open wide and meet mine. I see him shiver in fear.
"I'll be taking that droid," I mutter. Slowly, I stand up. Zenden pants on the floor with blood running down his face. I look over and Headshot's already kneeling by the droid. He gives me a thumbs up. I try not to snarl at him.
Instead, I kneel, holdout pinning Zenden all the while, and not to Headshot to the droid on. He flips the switch and the R3 flickers to life with a disgruntled beep and a spin of its dome.
Looking back, the other two wait. They're not happy. I don't really care, they're alive. And they can handle a droid. "Take him back to the General," I mutter and stand back up. Turning to Zenden, I lower the holdout to my side.
Headshot ushers the R3 out. I don't like ordering them around. I don't enjoy their presence, but this will keep everyone safe.
Zenden chances sitting up. "Should've known you were no good," he spits blood and saliva on the floor before rubbing at his bleeding nose. I drop the holdout and kick it back to him. Then I take out the credits for the droid and drop them on the floor.
"We're done here." I turn around. My own holdout waits a few feet away. I retrieve it off the scuffed floor as the other troopers vanish back to their speeder with the droid safely back in their custody.
"I won't forget you!" Zenden calls out. "Good for nothing republic scum."
Pausing, I stare out at the crowds. I am just that. Republic scum. Better Republic scum than some brainwashed droid. I should just leave the insult and go, but my fully functional Republic scum senses are telling me this guy will be a problem if I leave him here.
Zenden is halfway up when I turn. He groans and straightens up. I flick the safety off my holdout and train it on him. He's got nothing to defend himself with except that hulking body of his. I should take the shot.
But I wait. I wait to see his yellowed eyes lock onto the fact he's on the wrong end of the blaster now. I wait to see him realize what people like him, brainless drones, have done to people like me. I wait until his eyes widen, just that inch, and fill up with fear.
Then, I pull the trigger.
#
"You shot him?"
I stiffen up under the spittle off the General's lips. His yellow eyes narrow close to my face. The other three are beside me.
"Yessir. He resisted."
General Nidor has the whole room at a stiff attention as I'm berated for my actions. The only creature not concerned by the display is the newly recovered R3 unit sitting in the corner waiting to be scanned.
"Resisted." The general's lips curl. I can see all his glimmering predatory teeth, sharp to a point. Perfect for tearing into unobedient troops.
I nod simply.
The general backhands across my face. The room goes quieter than a morgue. I can feel the stares of Headshot, and the other two troopers along with every other officer in the room.
"Disobey me again," Nidor hisses, "and see where it gets you. Civillians are not droids, trooper. That goes for all of you!" He snaps at the other three. I fight the urge to let my lip curl.
Civilian. The word grates on my nerves. That man was no civilian. Zenden was a threat. I know, I'm trained to find them. I'm trained to be one. And no matter what I did, those three aren't to blame for it.
My face stings, the pain keeping me from making another rash decision as I blink a few times and center myself. I manage at least to hiss a low, "Yessir."
"Dismissed." Nidor spits in my face.
I about face. Three shadows follow as I leave. My heart pumps. So much for the Jedi being peacekeepers. They might shy from war, but they certainly won't shy from violence. They're the scum. I'm just doing my job.
I blow past the guards outside. Steps pound behind me, running catch up. "Kian," Headshot calls out. He's not alone. Two other pairs of boots approach me.
A hand grabs my shoulder and I stop dead in my tracks. I turn to face–I don't know his name. The trooper with the scars. It takes a moment to realize I'm seething in his face, my shoulders heaving.
"Don't let him get under your skin."
"Raf, just leave him alone," pipes up the last trooper.
Raf, however, stares me dead in the eyes. I don't know if he's trying to make me feel better, or if that's just what he does. I cut my gaze away and jerk out of his grasp.
"Leave me alone," I mutter. "All of you."
Raf crosses his arms over his chest. "You're just like us, Kian. We're all leftovers. The Dar'Aliit. And we've all been where you are."
I don't care.
We're clones. Of course we're all the same. I know I'm not the only person without a squad. I'm not the only survivor. War is all about death. If you don't get shot, the man next to you will. But I didn't ask for a bunch of replacements.
"Leave him alone," pipes up the fourth unnamed trooper. "Raf, he's not in the mood."
"I told you, antisocial," Headshot mutters.
I ought to slug him. I keep walking instead and make a beeline for the barracks. In the hollow of my ear, my comm crackles. Kriff, I forgot I had that thing in there.
"Well, wasn't that fun," someone sighs.
I should turn off the comm. I slam the door behind myself and lean back against it instead.
"He'll come around."
"Not everyone is as level headed as you, Raf."
"I really don't know why the General stuck us together, he could've assigned us anywhere."
I look down. I know why. Because the General is a liar. And the Jedi all have this inflated sense they can fix anything. Guess that extends to broken little toy soldiers too.
"I told you why," Raf's voice cuts in. "Because we're the Dar'Aliit of the group."
Headshot pipes up. "That some fancy words for misfits?"
"No."
Raf doesn't strike me as a reg trooper. I've heard something like that term before, but it was always in a whisper on Kamino. Something people said about those guys you'd see in the halls who weren't clones, but looked deadlier than them. The Cuy Val'Dar they were called. Mandalorians. They trained only the elite.
"It means we don't have a family, or a squad anymore," Raf says.
Someone huffs. "We've got this squad. We've got each other and we've got our decee's, that's all we do need."
"General Nidor's squad of survivors then," Headshot says. "The Dar'Aliit squad."
I break from listening and shake my head. I don't care. I wouldn't be here if it had just been me on that ship. If I hadn't sent Aftermath. These guys might be survivors, but at least they didn't get their only squadmate killed.
Snatching out the comm, I toss it on the floor and crush it under my boot. I stalk to my bed and grab the helmet tucked underneath–Aftermath's. Helmet in hand, I stalk back out.
A few troopers tried to get me to accompany them to a local bar two weeks back. I told them no, but I know where it is. There at least my face means I'll blend into a crowd. There I can be alone.
And two blocks down, right around the corner from the uniforms offices there it is, a haven of drunken solitude. The blinking sign is decrepit at best, the image of a dancing Twi'lek woman dressed in well...nothing, clinging to the letters "Bar".
It'll do.
I shove in the door and find myself in what could accurately be called the backside of the universe, and trust me, it has plenty of competition for that. Waitresses in skimpy clothing wander around bringing drinks to the dull eyed of Coruscant's underbelly. I avoid any familiar gazes and slip to the bar.
A brown eyed Zeltron woman with deep red skin looks me up and down. I set Aftermath's helmet on the bar. She likely assumes it's mine by the way she's eyeing it with...the kindest term would be, respect.
"What can I get for ya?" her drawl sounds fake, but I imagine someone out there finds it cute. She leans a little too far over the bar. Not that she's not well endowed.
"Beer," I mutter, distracted, and it's not until she leaves that I can really think clearly again. I put my hand to my cheek. What stings is the resentment leftover from the literal slap in my face.
I thought General Nidor would be different maybe. He seemed like a real commander, a man with a solid head on his shoulders. Certainly not another Krell. But Jedi only come in one breed it seems.
"One beer, on the house." The Zeltron is back, as is her allure. She slides the beer in front of me and I grip the glass with the desperation of a man holding onto his senses. No wonder they all come here. She's intoxicating. Even General Nidor wouldn't last against her wiles.
I watch as the waitress moves off, her fine boned hips swaying to the sound of the quiet low beat of cantina music. I sip on the beer absentmindedly. She vanishes into the crowd. I finish a couple swigs, and knock the glass against Aftermath's helmet in a silent toast. To not caring. To being alone. To surviving another day.

13 BBY Naboo Resort
I should know full well better than to get drunk on technical missions. There's the whole thing of being a Commander and setting a good example. Do I care? Less each day. It's not entirely my fault anyway. We're on shore leave, sort of.
I roll over, blinking my eyes. I need a shower or I'm going to be hungover all day.
Something moves under the covers. I turn to my right and catch the faintest glimpse of loose black hair sprawled over blue shoulders and it takes every ounce of composure not to panic.
The hell is Myren doing in my room?
She's still asleep, thankfully. I glance at my bare chest and a chill runs down my spine. As quietly as possible, and as normally as possible, I slip out of bed. I don't know what happened last night. I actually don't recall anything after we got to the bar, which is usually a sign of good drinking.
I glance back. Myren's still out. I take my chance and slip into the shower to clear my head. Cold water does a lot for a hangover, and for shock. By the time I'm out and dried off, I'm halfway sure I'm just still a bit drunk.
But she's still there when I get back. I'm going to have to act natural. Not that–okay, Myren's gorgeous. I've known her for a while now because she's our intel officer. It's not that I'm blind. It's just that we work together. We're professionals.
And her clothes are definitely on my floor.
I'm not going to wake her up. I cannot let anyone on the squad know anything, so I slip to the door and leave, as casually as a man finding a woman in his bedroom can. Dross is sitting outside. My hangover is returning slowly. I can see the leftover weariness in the eyes of those lingering around.
"Morning, Commander," Dross says without really looking up.
I sit down, not too close, and lean back. "So," I look around. "Everyone okay?"
"Yessir. Kanor took Esho and they're doing laps. Clearing their heads, Kanor says."
I nod. I look down at my shoulder.
I don't remember getting a tattoo. There's one clearly emblazoned there, though. A wampa skull. I look at Dross. "What did we...do last night?"
"Well, we got drunk," Dross flips to another record. "We all got tattoos except Zur, and well," Dross cuts off there. I nod.
"Right then, well–" movement catches my eye and for the briefest moment I can see Myren sneaking out. Dross doesn't even look up.
My chest tightens unconsciously and I lean back to compensate for the nerves. "We have a party today, right?" I look at Dross. "Imperial something or other?"
"Yessir. The Gala will be held downstairs in a few hours. Is there anything you'd like to do before that?" Dross looks up, his stiff face always the perfect image of regulation. "I would advise no further drinking."
"I'll stay here," I say. "We've only got a few hours."
Zur emerges, yawning. I lean back. There's no sign of Myren anymore, so I assume she made it back to her room safely. I exhale under my breath.
I really need to stop getting drunk on missions.
#
The suit is tight and mildly itchy. I know Myren tried. She's the best out of all of us at trying, but that does not change the fact a suit is a form of torture worse than slow death. I glance back.
Myren gives me a smug look, but her eyes are lingering.
Please tell me no one else can see this. The suit is about two times hotter now. If she keeps staring, I'll cook alive in this thing.
"Who all is going to be here?" Zur asks Dross behind me.
Myren pipes up and answers for Dross. "The elite of the Empire. Admirals, Grand Admirals, perhaps even the Moffs. We will need to be on our best behavior."
"I'll try." I turn around and realize the suit is going to make it a little hard to breathe. At least, so long as I'm looking at Myren. Her dress suits her, maybe a little too well.
Someone chuckles under their breath. I want to assume it's Zur. I choose not to assume, so my wrath isn't directed at anyone, but all of them.
We'll survive this. I'll survive this, because I have to. It's just another mission. All I have to do is look like I'm not a thirty-year old, disgruntled clone commander who's seen nearly ten years of war. Can't be too hard?
We file down the carpeted and lavish hallways. This place really isn't somewhere we should be, but secretly I'm very proud of getting in here. Accounting can chalk it up to mission expenses later. We needed this.
The lower dining halls have been converted into an open-air ballroom. A woman who looks oddly...ancient, sings from a small stage. Everyone here is in uniform, or a suit. I know my team is all uniformed, mostly because they're here keeping tabs on me. Why am I always suddenly the most important man in the room when it comes to Winterfang?
Stick me in a suit of armor. Then we can talk.
Myren wasn't lying when she said Elite. I recognize a few faces, not that I'd dare interact with them. Some of the Moffs and Admirals glance back at me. There are nods, and mutual looks of respect.
This room is stifling. I need to get some air, but I can't leave until I've made something of a good impression.
"Drowning out there yet, commander?" Dross asks over comms.
I choose to ignore him. I wander, smiling as best I can, nodding to the few who glance at my scars and acknowledge I've seen far more than the inside of a pretty council room. I've seen something half these men haven't.
Thrawn is here. He too takes note of me. I put on my best grimace for him, but he's interested in an art discussion. The man has a passion for it, if nothing else. That and military tactic. He's terrifying.
In the throngs of people I've lost track of Myren, which means she also likely has lost track of me. Now's my only chance. Everyone has spread out. Jay's over by the buffet, he'll occupy himself. Dross is in polite discussion and Zur seems taken by the stranger singer.
I chart my course for the door to the patio that opens out over the beach. There's hardly anyone out here so I wander to the railing and look over the edge. It really is peaceful out here. Hard to imagine amid a world so war torn as ours. Maybe I'm jaded, or maybe I simply haven't stopped long enough to really consider what a future without war could look like.
I know I thought about it once. What was I going to do when I got out of the military? If I got out of the military? It was never a guarantee. Still isn't. I shrug off my suit jacket and am granted a brief reprieve from torture. I loop it over my arm and watch the waves crash on the shore.
"Commander."
Thrawn has appeared soundlessly at my side. Even for someone of my perception, it's enough to make me stiffen as I glance at him.
"Sir."
Thrawn smiles, somewhat cruelly. "You know full well that Myren was found an orphan, and I helped raise her. Correct?"
"Uh," my brain racks for the information. I've read her dossier. I've read hundreds of dossiers. I never committed them to memory. "Yessir," I mutter eventually.
"Good. And you should know that while she has tried to assure me of nothing untoward, she is rather obvious, when she looks at you."
My face is heating up under my skin. Both of them, how do they do this? I look down at the waves and keep my posture and expression even.
"After all," Thrawn's voice is cool. "I taught her to lie."
I swallow, but I've been faced with tougher situations. I keep myself stiff, still, and wait for him to break the silence.
"What are your intentions with my daughter?"
"Sir," I snap to look at him and realize I've made the first mistake. Thrawn arches an eyebrow.
I clamp my lips together firm and resort to a grimace. "To keep her safe, sir."
"Good." Thrawn turns around. "Do your best, Commander."
As his steps recede, my commlink pings me and I realize I've forgotten it was there.
"Commander?" Zur is asking for me. I flush redder than I think I ever have. Thankfully there's no one to see it.
"Commander?"
"What?"
"I learned some...information. I'm going to follow up on it."
"Sure," I shake my head. My team knows what they're doing. "Inform me of the results later."
"Copy that, sir."
I turn around. Esho is sitting there with a plate and one leg crossed over the other. She smiles at me.
"Come out here to escape the crowds, Uncle Kian?"
"Yeah."
"I see you already wormed out of the suit." Esho laughs. She's in a dress too, her and Myren went shopping yesterday.
"It was hot!"
Esho laughs. "Myren's still inside. I'm pretty sure she's talking to everyone if you wanna find her."
"I don't—" I look down at Esho and she smirks. She looks like her father when she does that. Which goes to say she looks like every clone I've ever known.
I sigh and dump the jacket on the back of her chair. "Keep an eye on that."
"Yessir!" Esho salutes and goes back to eating.
I wander back inside. I have to try. After some wandering conversations, though, my trying is mostly failing. I have little tolerance for needless bureaucracy and that's all they talk about.
"Kian." Myren walks over in the midst of my conversation with a Grand Moff who's likely as old as the republic itself. I turn.
Myren smiles apologetically for interrupting. She puts her hand on my arm. "Care to dance?"
Dance. I stare at her.
Myren just nods and her hand slips down my bicep, to my forearm, and she finds my hand. And like that, she's leading me away. I've heard of dancing. I might've tried my hand a couple of times. Plenty of bars around have pretty girls to dance with.
But this isn't some barmaid, this is Myren.
She smiles as I somehow manage not to fumble the whole thing and we fall into a rather easy step. At least the music is slow. As we turn, though, I make eye contact with Jay.
Guilt flashes over his face. He's still by the buffet. I glare at him and try to pull Myren in another direction but it only gives me a full view of the rest of my team, lined up, and watching. My teeth grit.
I'm going to kill them.
Slowly.
In their sleep.
I glower at their insinuating grins. This isn't what it looks like. I wish commlinks had telepathy built in, but it would be no good. My insistence would be drowned out by the rest of the thoughts clogging up my head.
Is this what comes after the war?
Myren smiles as we step to the side. My scowl relaxes unconsciously and I smile back, timidly, afraid to even ask myself the biggest question of all. I'm a clone. I'm a soldier. I'm fighting a war. That's the truth and reality of the matter. But I know I had dreams once.
Will this one last?
Can it?

Name: Mechakoopa
Debut: Super Mario World
So a very polite anon has humbly requested we write a post about Mechakoopa! They are apparently this person's favorite, so today's their lucky day! See I don't like to brag but, I'd definitely consider myself as part of the top 100 most qualified people to talk about Mechakoopas in the world! And who am I to turn down such a request?
Now the 90s you see, were a turning point for good Mr. Bowser here. With a brand new clown-helicopter thing to pilot around you might think he's all set, but what kind of self-respecting villain would he be without filling his evil lair with a number of Evil Wind-up Toys based on himself? So he does exactly that- a whole fourteen years before Mario stole his idea, mind you!
Yes, you read that right! Despite their name, Mechakoopas are tiny mechanical versions of Big Bowser himself, not just any run of the mill Koopa, which explains their green heads and funky hair! You know how Koopa is actually Bowser's Japanese name? Yeah! They could've localized them as Mecha-Bowsers, but Mechakoopa just flows nicer doesn't it? And he is still technically a Koopa!
"Yo, somebody rang?"
No!! Not you, Mecha-Bowser from Super Mario Sunshine (2002)!! You'll get your turn eventually! Geez! Anyway. Where was I. Oh! Yes!
This is the obligatory part of the post where I'm like “Get a load of this funky guy”! Get a load of this funky guy! Instead of reinterpreting Bowser’s design very literally in toy form, the Mechakoopa is very much its own beast, with its funny beak and little funny legs. Our aforementioned anon mentioned the wind-up key, and oh, what a wind-up key it is! And of course the raisin d’eclair- the fantastic little googly eyes! Oh where would we be without those googly eyes?
Naturally though, Bowser doesn’t just use his toys to populate his spooky castle- he always has to keep a few on his person! So he chucks them at you in the game’s final boss fight, but he didn’t account for the fact that, in this game only, Mario can throw upwards! Oh no! His one weakness! Being pelted with plastic!
By the by, I’ve always thought the original Mechakoopa sprite from Super Mario World looked super funky! The hair almost looks like its on fire! And I like the goofy grin.
The Super Mario World cartoon decided to interpret this sprite by turning him into a horrible little man. No, I don’t want this! He shouldn’t have arms!
The Mechakoopa’s next appearance in a mainline Mario platformer was in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, where they act... exactly the same as they do in Super Mario World! Cool! This basically established them as modern Mario enemies, but there isn’t much to say other than that!
Like all our posts about Common Mario Enemies, it would probably be boring if I just listed off their every appearance, so I will just bring up the ones that are worth mentioning. For example, Super Mario RPG! In this game, Bowser’s strongest special attack is Bowser Crush, which summons a giant Mechakoopa to stop on foes! According to the Player’s Guide, this Mechakoopa was a top secret weapon developed by Koopa researchers... to stomp flowers and scare butterflies! Wow! That is so so evil! These big guys would definitely live up to the name “Mecha-Bowser”!
“Hey guys, are you talking about me?”
NO, we are NOT talking about you, Mecha Bowser (with no hyphen) from Mario Kart: Double Dash (2003)’s Bowser’s Castle course! Get the heck outta here! Gosh, some people just don’t know when they’re not wanted!
I am sure after all this you are wondering, they may be mechanical toys but can they do math? The answer is yes obviously! This is Mechakoopa from Mario Party Advance, and they’re a mathematician! They invented Mechakoopa’s Theorem, the very real mathematical theorem that we all used in school! Everyone give them a round of applause!
I’d like to bring up their appearances in the Mario & Luigi games, not because it’s particularly notable, but because of how much I like their sprite and idle animation! Look at the wind-up key spin around and the eyes go up and down! So cute! Oh, and also because in the Superstar Saga remake they replaced the Mecha-Chomp enemies (may god rest their souls)!
Super Mario Maker 2′s final update was an epic win and a #1 victory royale for Mechakoopa fans anywhere, since it not only added Mechakoopas to all four main game themes, but also two brand new variants: the Blasta Mechakoopa (in red) and the Zappa Mechakoopa (in blue)!
As you might expect, they can Blast (missiles) and Zap (lasers) respectively! I’ve no idea why they added these random functionalities to Mechakoopas specifically, but they’re a lot of fun and some of the most unique projectiles in the game! Zappa? I barely know ‘a!
Oh, and I almost forgot! They are in Super Smash Bros. as well! Bowser Jr.’s moveset is a treasure trove of little references to Mario gadgets, and even though Bowser no longer tosses these guys from his Clown Car, his son has taken up the job! Only in this game, Mechakoopas explode. Uh oh! They didn’t do that before! Still, I really like popping a Mechakoopa out of its Mechakoopa Compartment just to see it wander around the stage. It’s fun!
Now that’s all I have to say about good old Mechakoopas, but I’d like to give a special shoutout to this guy in particular- the Micro Mecha-Bowser, from Super Mario Galaxy! For a long time, I assumed they were just Mechakoopas with a different design... But this definitely looks like a beefed up version of the Mechakoopa, with their big goofy teeth, their pig nose and their funky cross-hair eyes! These dudes can breathe fire too, so they really are more like Bowser! And if there’s a Micro Mecha-Bowser, there’s gotta be a normal one!
“Whassup? I heard somebody call my name!”
Harumph! Nobody called you, Mecha-Bowser from Super Mario Galaxy (2007)’s Toy Time Ga- Er... hold on a second. You actually are exactly the person I was talking about after all! My mistake! Though I do wish you’d at least give us a heads up when you’re gonna show up, given you’re the size of a small planetoid!
Yeah, the Micro Mecha-Bowsers are named after this big robot from Toy Time Galaxy, Mecha-Bowser (not to be confused with Mecha-Bowser or Mecha Bowser)! Though I have to say, there isn’t much family resemblance! He’s so blue and un-turtle like! Still, this must’ve been my favorite mission in Galaxy as a kid- I’d replay it over and over again just because the idea of climbing on a giant planet-sized robot and dismantling it piece by piece was so cool! It was like Shadow of the Colossus before I knew what the heck that was!
Well that’s about the extent of the Mechakoopa family. Isn’t it fun? There’s a moral to be learned here, and it’s that, uh... little wind-up toys are very charming! Um, I suppose. Look, writing conclusions is hard!

Date with Destiny- Teen Titans x Aquagirl!Reader
Masterlist
Summary: you guessed it bitches its the prom episode with everyone's fav guy Robin (S2 Ep6)
Pairings: Robin!Dick grayson x reader
Word count: 4218
A/N: hey yall I love writing for this series bfgkfhg so if you want my inbox is always open to request!!! love yallll~
Nights in Jump City are the worst time of the day; the sun is long gone and the wind constantly bites at your skin. But it depends on what you're doing to decide whether you like it or not. Sometimes it’s not as bad; that’s when you’re hanging out with your friends, maybe going to a carnival or out partying all night. Sometimes it’s worse, like you being forced to chase after some villain who decided to only operate AT NIGHT. Unfortunately, the latter is true for you tonight.
You slump over in the backseat of the T-Car while Cyborg and Raven sit attentively at the front.
“Why can’t I sit in the front?” you whine, staring at the two Titan’s heads.
“Because I’m the only one that knows how to drive this car and Raven needs to use her telekinesis so we dont die!” Cyborg yells, focusing on the target, who happens to be a guy with a spider for his head that stole a bunch of jewelry.
You groaned and poked your head out the window. Starfire and Beast Boy were up in the air, Robin close by on his motorbike, and you were all chasing the half-arachnid. You stretched out of the vehicle and made punching movements at the criminal, ocean water from the bay twisting over towards him, mimicking your movements. The jets of water just barely nicked him before crashing into the sides of buildings, the teenage spider continuing to scuttle across the city.
You turn your attention back towards the road as the spider guy created a webbed barrier in front of Cyborg’s car and Robin’s motorcycle. You and Cyborg gasp, but Raven calmly holds her hand up towards the road. It cracks, creating a ramp for the four of you to jump over the webs with.
After making the jump, the half spider looks at the car. He shoots webs at you, and its splats on the car windshield.
“I can’t see!” Cyborg yells, swerving the car over to the side. You lurch forward as you finally come to a stop, thankful that Cyborg had installed heavy duty seat belts.
“I don’t see why you can’t let me drive,” you mumbled, stumbling out of the car. You aimed your hands towards the car and a jet of water sprung out from a fire hydrant, cleaning the silk from the windshield.
“I already said it, I’m the only one who knows the inner workings of the T-car! Besides, you don’t even have your license.” Cyborg said, stepping out of the car calmer than before.
“I do too!- You know what, we’ll talk about this later. Right now we need to find the others.” You say, taking in your surroundings. Then out of nowhere, Beast Boy popped out from behind the car.
“Uh hey guys! Kinda got lost back there!” he grins, dusting off silk strands from his arms.
“I’m going after them!” you tell the other Titans, sprinting off into the direction Robin and Starfire went. You flick your wrist as you run and water from the fire hydrant trickles out and forms a wave that you could ride on, like an aquatic skateboard.
You catch up to the two as Starfire gets shot down by the spider teen’s webbing. You make eye contact as you pass her, unsure whether to help her free.
“Just go!” she yells, already beginning to rip the webs thanks to her brute strength. You nod and race forwards to catch up with Robin. You find his abandoned motorbike and look up to see him chasing after the villain using his grappling hook. I’m trying to help him, but I can barely catch up to him, you grumble as you will the water to shoot you into the air, almost like a hydro-cannon. You bounce from roof to roof, inching closer to the Boy Wonder and his pursuit with the villain.
You were right under Robin when the spider-guy shoots some type of laser at him. Suddenly, he freezes up, and begins to fall, knocking you down with him.
“C-can’t… move,” he grunts, on top of you in mid air.
“YEAH NO SHIT” you yell, still stuck under him. Ok ok, options… you think, time seems to slow down around you. I can’t make a geyser because that’d take too long. I like Robin but not enough to break his fall, hmm…
You notice the grappling hook in his belt. You yank it out and shoot it at the wall you just fell from, wrapping your other arm around Robin. Your arm feels like it was about to fall out of its socket as you abruptly stop, hanging in mid air with Robin safely in your grasp. Starfire catches up with you, having broken free from the webbed trap. She helps you down and brings you to where Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Raven stood.
“He is okay?” Starfire asks, holding Robin in place while you catch your breath.
“He will be. The venom’s effect is only temporary.” Cyborg says, examining the Boy Wonder, who was still frozen in a climbing position.
“Getting away...we have to...go after him!” Robin musters, but almost falls over doing so.
“You mean, we have to go after him,” Raven corrects him.
“Yeah, you gotta wait until that stuff wears off,” you say, knocking on his frozen arm to prove your point.
“But-” Robin begins, but Beast Boy cuts him off.
“Dude, we can handle it. The guy's got a spider for a head. Not like he's gonna be hard to find.” he said. Robin didn’t say anything, which was code for a reluctant agreement. Cyborg, Raven, and Beast Boy agreed that they would go after the spider thief, while you, Robin and Starfire return to the Tower to get Robin sorted out.
Later at the Tower, you watched in utter horror and amusement as Starfire shook Robin while holding his feet. He hung upside down, making random yelps of pain as she did… whatever she was doing.
“Um Starfire?” you say. “You know I have healing powers… I could just heal him if we need to.”
“Nonsense Aquagirl!” she chirped as Robin groaned. “There are few problems that Tamaranean acupressure will not solve. Don’t you feel better Robin?”
“Uhhh yeah, thanks.” he said, getting back up to standing position. “Now we can focus on our other issue.” He pulls out his T-communicator.
“Titans! Any luck on finding our jewel thief?”
“We found something worse,” you hear Raven’s voice from the communicator. A live cam of the scene pops up on the living room TV screen. They were at the bridge near Jump City’s Bay; hundreds of cars pass there per minute. You noticed something was near the bridge cables, and upon closer inspection, you realized that it was thousands of moths gnawing at the bridge support. As more cables broke, the bridge grew more and more unstable, cars beginning to slide around.
“Titans go!” you hear Cyborg say, and the three of them run towards the giant cloud of bugs. Unfortunately, they were no match and could barely put a dent in the population.
“Uh, we’re gonna need backup.” Cyborg says to the communicator. You were already out of your chair and adjusting your wrist gauntlets.
“We’re on our way,” Robin says, the three of you making your way to the door. But a familiar voice stopped you in your tracks.
“Don't bother. Even if you defeat a few of my children, you won't be able to stop me from releasing the entire swarm.” the villain you recognized as Killer Moth said, his face appearing on the screen. “Unless you want your city reduced to a moth-eaten wasteland, you'll do exactly as I say.”
“What do you want?’ Robin asked, brows furrowed.
“My demands are simple. The city will declare me ruler, the Teen Titans will surrender, and Robin…” he starts. You flinched at the mention of the Boy Wonder’s name. What could he want to do with Robin? To step down as a hero? Admit defeat? Reveal his identity???
“... will take this lovely young lady to her junior prom.”
Huh?
“Hi Robbie-Poo!” said a girl who appeared on the screen next to Killer Moth. She had blonde hair and blue eyes, was wearing pink pajamas, and although you had just met her, you could already tell that she was a bitch.
“Um… What was that last part again?” he asked, clearly not expecting that demand.
“Um Robin?” you ask. “Who’s this girl and why’d she call you… er, you know.”
“Her name is Kitten,” Killer Moth gloats. “And you will take her to prom.”
“This prom is the matter of a duel, yes?” Starfire asked, not very assimilated in American culture. “Robin eagerly accepts!”
“It’s not a duel, Star. It’s a date.” Robin patiently corrects her.
“Oh”
“Robin! You can’t do this!” you say, looking at him through his masked eyes. “Isn’t that right Starfire?”
“Oh yes!” she agrees. “You mustn't accept!”
“We’re gonna need a minute,” Robin sighs, pulling the two of you away from the center of the room. You stare at him, arms crossed.
“This is so stupid.” you begin. “What kind of villain makes a superhero go on a date with some girl? And what kind of parent names their child Kitten? There’s no way you’re actually going to go to a dance with some random chick!”
Robin doesn’t say anything about your comments, but opens his T-communicator again,
“Cyborg, report. How bad is it?” he asks.
“Bad! We can’t hold 'em much longer!” Cyborg yells through the communicator. “If you’re gonna do something, do it quickly!” You stared at the floor, knowing what he’s gonna have to say to Killer Moth’s demands.
“I have to do it.” he grimaces. You stayed silent as Starfire reacted.
“WHAT?!” she yells.
“It's the only way to save the bridge. The only way to give us enough time to stop Killer Moth.” Robin explains. Starfire looks at you and back at Robin.
“But you do not even have the feelings for her!” she protests, looking straight at you.
“I’m sorry, but I have to, as much as I don’t want to. And I really don’t want to.” Robin says, walking back towards the screen.
“So do we have a deal?” Killer Moth grins, as much as a person with mandibles can.
“I’ll take the girl to prom.” Robin says grimly.
“Don’t tell me. Ask her.” Killer Moth says, referring to the blonde girl still pasted on screen. Even though you couldn’t see Robin’s eyes, you could tell that he was rolling them.
“You’ve got to be-”
“Do it!” the villain yells. Robin sighs.
“Kitten, was it?” he asks.
“Meow,” she replied. You almost threw up when she said that. You could see Robin reacting in the same way.
“Right. Will you...go with me to the prom?” he said, his voice showing his utter disgust.
“Oh, Robbie-poo! I thought you'd never ask!”
I can’t do this you thought, as the screen finally blipped off. Robin calmly pulled out his T-communicator and projected it onto the screen. Raven picked up, Beast Boy and Cyborg crowded around her. You could see in the background that the moths were no longer gnawing at the bridge. He told them that he bought them some time, telling them to find out what he has planned. Then he shows them a picture of Kitten.
“Who is she?” Raven asked.
“She is a manipulative gremlock not worthy of Robin's time.” Starfire pouts.
“Yeah, she's a bitch too.” you add.
“She's got some kind of connection to Killer Moth. Find the connection, and I bet you'll find him.” He said, turning to you and Starfire. “Aquagirl and Starfire will join you to help with the search.” you rolled your eyes; Is he seriously going to do this alone?
“Hey, what about you? Aren’t you going to help us?” Beast Boy asked.
“I can’t. I have a date.”
.
You and Starfire were going to prepare for your mission when she shoved you into her room. You’ve forgotten how pink all her furniture is, from the curtains to her pillows. She whips out her T-communicator.
“Starfire what are you-” you begin, but she shushes you.
“Starfire to Raven,” she says into the communicator. “Please note that I will be the only person joining you, as Aquagirl will provide Robin backup on his date!”
“Um… okay.” Raven says, then hangs up.
“What??? I’m supposed to help you guys, remember?” you protest. “And I thought you had a crush on Robin??” The alien girl took you by your shoulders.
“Aquagirl, my feelings for Robin have long dissipated, but I am sure you still have the feelings for him!” she chirped. “Do not worry, four Titans are more than enough to defeat Killer Moth! You should go to the prom of non-duels!”
“B-but what do I even wear? Prom dresses were not on my shopping list.” you argue.
“Oh do not worry Aquagirl, you may borrow mine!” Starfire opened her closet to reveal a rack of sparkly dresses, all in different colors. You eyes glittered in awe.
“Ok, I’m in.”
You spent the next half an hour getting ready for the prom. You picked out a blue dress with black lace and black gloves that went out to your elbows. Your suit was camouflaged underneath, just in case you needed to ditch the dress.
“Oh you look wonderful!” Starfire cheered. You blushed, looking at yourself in the mirror.
She flew you over to the prom location, which was on a boat. Water, you thought. Perfect. You looked at Starfire.
“Thanks again for, uh, everything.” you said sheepishly. She smiled.
“It is the no problem!” she says. “I will see you afterwards!” And with that, she flew off into the night. You sighed, holding a corsage for Robin in your hand. You hear the sound of a motorbike. Robin appeared in view; he was still wearing his mask, but his usual outfit had been replaced by a tuxedo. He was still stoically frowning, probably due to not wanting to be here, but something about him just makes your heart skip a beat.
You walked over and tapped his shoulder. He flinched at your touch, but calmed down as he realized that it was you.
“Aquagirl?” he asked, eyeing you up and down.
“Um, just call me (y/n) for today, don’t want to raise eyebrows.” you winked. You pinned the flowers onto his lapel. “It’s my first prom, so I got you a corsage.” It’s true; this is your first prom. You were supposed to go to your junior prom this year, but of course, being a superhero kinda distracted you from that.
“Aqu- (y/n)...” he began. “You’re supposed to be helping the others track down Killer Moth.”
“Well, you said that our job was to investigate that b- uh, girl. And there’s no better way to do it than up close.” you grin. “Besides, Starfire insisted that I backed you up, you never know if you need saving, right?”
Just then, you heard a loud honk from a car. You turn to see a pink limousine pull out. Out stepped an even pinker girl, Kitten. Her headband, dress, corsage, and heels were all an obnoxious pink. She scoured the scene until she found Robin, fiercely waving at him.
“Yoo-hoo! Robbie-poo! Your Kitten has arrived! Me-ow!” she yells. You both physically cringe at her words. Robin leans over to you before he leaves.
“On second thought, maybe I will need the savings.”
You purse your lips as Robin leaves, reluctantly linking arms with the girl. You open your T-communicator.
“Cyborg,” you say. “Robin just entered the boat with Kitten. “How’s it looking on your side?”
“Poor guy,” he says sympathetically. “We just reached Kitten’s house. Going in now. Nice dress by the way.” You grin.
“Thanks man. I’ll be watching him just to see if he needs any help.”
“Got it. Cyborg out.” the screen blips to black and you close your communicator with a sigh. Time for prom.
You awkwardly shuffle onto the boat, making sure to stay a few meters behind the two. Luckily, no one noticed that you didn’t go to their school because they were so distracted by Kitten’s yelling.
“OH ROBIN!, YOU’RE SUCH A GENTLEMAN! NOT AT ALL LIKE MY WORTHLESS EX-BOYFRIEND FANG!!!” your fists clenched as she moved closer to the Boy Wonder, all over his arm. Why did we let her take Robin to the prom again? I’d rather see that bridge collapse than whatever this is.
You stationed yourself at the punch table, pouring yourself a drink. The two were talking at the table. You knew Robin didn’t want to be here in the beginning, but what if he changed his mind? What if, somehow, he falls in love with Kitten, and then you are never gonna have a chance with him?
“OF COURSE ROBIN I’D LOVE TO DANCE WITH YOU!!!” Kitten yelled, the two of them moving towards the dance floor. Your cheeks burned with anger, and maybe a little bit of jealousy. You clenched your fist again, and the sickly pink punch from the punch bowl shot into the air. The couple next to you who was about to get some punch slowly walked backwards away from you. But you didn’t care. You stomped away from the punch table.
You were leaning at one of the clothed tables as you glared at Robin and Kitten dancing away. You don’t even know why you felt so angry; maybe it was the fact that they’ve been dancing for 10 long minutes, or the fact that Kitten’s resting her head on his shoulder, or maybe the fact that you’ve never held Robin’s hand before and she is!
You notice him looking at his T-communicator while he was dancing, relieving you of the idea that he was actually enjoying the dance.
“Kiss me,” you hear Kitten say, and you froze.
“Sorry, I don’t like you that way,” he smirks. “As a matter of fact, I just don’t like you.” YES, you thought, smiling from the table.
“WHAT?!” the blonde girl shrieks.
“Killer Moth’s being taken down as we speak. We’re done here.” He pulls away, tucking his T-communicator into his pocket.
“No we are not!” she yells, ripping the corsage off of her dress. The petals fall away to reveal a cylinder, push-button controller. “Daddy’s not calling the shots tonight, I AM!!!”
“Daddy?” you and Robin said at the same time, in shock. So that's why Killer Moth made Robin go to the prom with her.
“And unless you want me to let those bugs out for a late-night snack, you better pucker up!” she makes kissy noises at Robin, her lips inching closer and closer. Robin put his finger out at them as if to shush her.
“Not even if you paid me,” he said, pushing her away and grabbing the controller out of her hand. They fight over it, and you wonder whether to jump in and help. Suddenly Kitten turns her focus away from Robin.
“Fang?” she smiled. You turned to see the jewel thief from before climbing onto the boat, spider head and all.
“That’s your ex boyfriend?” he asked, staring in shock.
“Get your hands off my girl!” he yells, knocking Robin down with his spider leg, Kitten snatching back the controller. Ok, time to act you thought, holding up your hand. A jet of water sprung up from under the boat and hit Fang, sending him flying backwards.
“And keep your legs off my guy!” you yelled, not even sure if you and Robin were on that level yet. “You alright Rob?” you ask as the Boy Wonder stands up.
“Best I’ve felt all day,” he smirked, ripping off his suit to reveal his costume underneath. You smiled; you two seemed to be on the same track in terms of disguise. You ripped your dress off and your costume uncamouflaged, revealing the familiar blue and black swim gear you always wear. You yank off your gloves to show your gauntlets underneath, the spikes swing up into place. You both look back at Kitten and Fang to find them making out; mandibles and all.
“I think I’m gonna throw up,” you mumble, getting into a fighting position.
“You know…” Robin says, bring the couple’s attention back to you two. “You two make a really bad couple.” Fang charges at the two of you, shooting his webs and venom. One of the webs hit you, sending you to the floor. You used the spikes on your gauntlets to cut yourself free while the spider villain goes after Robin. You finally free yourself as Kitten watches the action.
“Isn’t it romantic? They’re fighting over me!” she swoons. Your cheeks burn hot with anger. Now that you're out of disguise, it's the perfect time to beat her up.
“You’re not worth anyone’s time to fight over!” you quipped loudly, causing Kitten to start screaming at you. She tackles you, and the two of you fall onto the table.
“What the-” you grunt, the air knocked out of you as you crash into the food. You roll over and pin her to the table. You try to reach for the controller, but Kitten smacks a cream pie in your face. She pins you down this time, but you extend your leg to her side and swing, sending her flying across the table. She lands flat on her back, stretched lengthwise across the table. You lunge at her, but she grabs you and dunks your head into the punch bowl. You almost burst out laughing; she was trying to drown you, and you could breathe underwater.
Your eyes glow blue from underneath the punch bowl as the beverage explodes in the girl’s hunched over face. She screams, and you push her into the chocolate cake. She lands on the floor, her pink dress now stained with chocolate frosting.
“YOU.. RUINED… MY… DRESS!!!” she screams, clicking the controller. You gasp in horror, she’s crazy. She runs at you again, screaming and you dodge her, using your water powers to shoot the controller out of her hand. The controller rolls away, right towards the bottom of Robin’s foot.
“Consider yourself dumped.” he said, breaking the controller.
“NOOOOOOO!!!” she shrilled. You rolled your eyes and punched her square in the nose, her falling to the ground.
“I’ve been wanting to do that all night,” you grin at the Boy Wonder, who looked at you in awe.
.
The other Titans rejoined you as you watched Kitten, Killer Moth, and Fang get pulled into a police van.
“Nobody dumps Kitten! Nobody! You're going to pay for this, Robbie-poo! YOU'RE GOING TO PASAY!!” the blonde girl screamed while being pushed into one of the vans.
“So, no second date?” Cyborg jokes. Beast Boy was sitting over the edge of the boat holding one of Killer Moth’s moth larvae. According to them, the controller Kitten had allowed them to turn into moths, but when Robin broke it, they all turned back into harmless giant bugs.
“So what becomes of Killer Moth’s larvae population?” Starfire asks.
“You know...now that nobody's making 'em all mutate-y,.these things might actually make good pets.” Beast Boy said, poking at the larvae's belly.
“Don’t even think about it.” Raven says, staring in disgust.
You and Robin walk towards some of the students to apologize for ruining their nights when spotlights turn on, the bright lights moving across the floor. The two of you braced for impact. The announcer began to, well, announce.
“And now, the moment you've all been waiting for...the king and queen of this year's prom are...Robin and (y/n)!” Your eyes widened at the announcement.
“I’m back on duty so it’s Aquagirl now! Sorry!” you yelled awkwardly.
“Well um then Aquagirl-” Robin begins, but you stop him.
“I mean, you can call me (y/n), if that’s what you want,” you offered, slightly blushing. He blushed back.
“Oh! Ok, then (y/n) it is.”
“So how about that dance, Boy Wonder?”
“I guess one more dance wouldn’t kill me.”
.
Robin led you towards the middle of the dance floor. You put your arms around his neck and he put his arms around your waist. His hands were gentle, and was only lightly touching your back, as if he was ready to pull them back at any time.
But he was smiling; something he barely did all night. You both laughed as you awkwardly shuffled across the floor; it's like you had two right feet and he had two left feet so it canceled out. You pulled in a little closer, he hugged you a little tighter. You stared at his masked eyes, imagining them looking back at you.
Suddenly you heard a whistle and whipped your head to see the rest of the Titans nonchalantly watching you two dance. They grinned, waving hello. You rolled your eyes and whipped your hand at them. A small geyser jumped up and landed on the Titans, drenching them. You and Robin laughed, then resumed your dance.
Nights in Jump City are the worst time of day, but with Robin, it’s a whole lot better.

Hi🥰 Congrats on 2k!!! For your blurb night, can I request the reader taking sleeping pills while her and Tom were waiting for their flight and Tom decides to mess with her when they already landed, telling the reader that they missed their flight and stuff like that?
Resting up for the flight
Pairing | Tom Holland x reader
Summary | Based on the request
Warnings | use of sleeping tablets, cheeky Tom, references to sex
2K blurb masterlist
Quick link to my masterlist, if you’re interested in reading more of my crap 😬
“Don’t be one of those whities who claps when the plane lands, or as of right now, arrives.” You sighed, watching at Tom huffed at your reference, and glared with false betrayal towards you. The line that creased in the margin between his brows amused you, it showed the affect that you were having on him, to which was purposeful.
“Some days, i really hate that you were a fan before this arrangement.” He moved his finger in the space between the pair of you, hinting heavily at the secluded relationship that you were vouched in. It was true, you had been a supporting human within the base of his career audience, but you had no regrets throughout that phase, it had gotten you to where you were now; with Thomas Stanley Holland, the man that had once been a crush, and now, the infatuation was reciprocated, and more realistic.
“How are other days of this arrangement?” You sat up higher in your waiting area seat, looking him directly in the face with executing and wide eyes. “I mean, I’m sure there are a few benefits that I could easily take away, and forbid you from, with a simple word that has you aching to apologise for being so high and mighty about being a celebrity that I used to enjoy watching on a screen.”
“Used to?” He scoffs, shaking his head as he adjusts the cap on his head, leaning back further into the functional furniture of the aircraft. “So, if I believe that I am hearing you correct darling, no longer do you clench your thighs together when you see me through our television in that Spider-Man suit, nor do you take pleasure from seeing me when I get out of it either.”
“Nope.” A smirk covered your face, albeit accompanying your clear lies, that he saw through clearer than he could a window. But you saw this, as an opportunity. It would be easy to rile him up, and frustrate him for the rest of the three hour plane wait, leaving him lonely, and craving to irritate you in return, although, it would be impossible.
He watched your hands with laser eyes as you rifled through your hand bag, locating your pills that you had been permitted to have aboard the flight. To be more specific, they were sleeping pills, that would knock you out into a deep slumber, during the entirety of the time whilst the vehicle was in flight. “Night babe.”
The smirk remained, mocking him as you spilled a couple pills out into the palm of your hand, rolling them under your thumb as you sent him a wink, tossing the small medical pebbles into your mouth, as you reached for his water bottle, which aided in swallowing the tablets.
“Night dear.” Tom replied, as he watched you return the plastic and recyclable container that was filled with water, before your lashes fluttered inaudibly, resting on the beneath of your eyes, as you softly shook your head, before resting the side of it upon his shoulder, nuzzling into him, and inhaling his scent before sleep kidnapped you from consciousness.
A sigh left your lips, as you rubbed your cheek alongside the woollen texture of his black hoodie, feeling how his fingers toyed with the frontal strands of your hair. You could still smell his deodorant, it made you hum at the familiarity, and so the actor realised, that you must’ve forgotten of your attempts of burdening him with coupling annoyance.
“You awake baby?” His accent rendered through your ears, making your nod against him, alongside a small, and meek ‘yes’, that brought an adoring smile onto Tom’s face. “Good. I have to tell you something...”
His silence afterwards had you awakening from your deviant sluggishness, your lids peeling up as tucked into the crook of his elbow, glancing up at him with curious and crusty cornered eyes that had collected dust from your tiredness.
“Wait, what is it Tommy?” You licked your lips expectedly, the corners of your lips tugging up as he pressed a gentle and sweet kiss upon your forehead, retracting slightly, as his hand brushed upon the side of your face. “Tell me sweetie.”
“We um, you looked so pretty sleeping, and - we missed our flight...” instantly you tugged back to get a whole gaze over his face, a gasp pulling from your throat as you stared at him with utmost terror. You had to get home, if you did not, then your boss would be on your ass, and keeping hours of your pay check for your late arrival home.
“No.” You spoke, your lips rubbing together as your mind spiralled in a tornado of overthinking. “You should have woke me up Tom! We’re gonna have to buy new tickets, and who knows when they’ll be for. Next week probably, because they were booked for the holidays. I’m screwed, Waldorf is gonna fire me, and I need that damned promotion!”
Your hands raged in the air, grasping your head from shock as they shook frustratedly, your fingers pulling at your hair, as you glanced away from him, and towards the ground. “Maybe you shouldn’t have taken those tablets.” Tom muttered, his remark causing you to fill yourself up with rage, just as he wanted.
“So it’s my fault, because I was asleep? You were awake Tom, and -“ you stopped yourself from saying any more as your boyfriend began to cackle amusedly, covering his noir with his hand as you managed to hold up your glare on him. “And what are you laughing at Thomas?”
“Our flight is in twenty minutes.” He stated, smirking as you lightly kicked him and crossed your arms over the other. “Don’t pout, it’s hot, like really hot, but you’re not doing it for the reasons i want. And now, you aren’t even speaking to me, so that’s fun.”
“I can’t believe you made me feel bad.” You threw your hands up, exasperated by the situation, as you felt washed over with relief, knowing that the pair of you would return home on time, as expected.
“You felt bad? You sounded more like you were angry at me. I think you need to space out your emotions babe, it’s kinda difficult to decipher just how you are feeling.” In a sudden, you turned to him, sucking your cheeks in to compose an expression towards him, as your pupils focused harshly upon him.
“I think I’m going to take those benefits away...” Tom realised that he had messed up, and he was about to try and convince you that his joke was harmless, more so since you were going home, the place where he was eager to reap particular benefits of being with you.

Could you do some hcs for dating the teen titans?
Yes I can!! I just got HBO Max so I’ve been binging both the animated and the live action series haha 😂 Thank you so much for being my first request!
Also I’m guessing you’re referring to the original teen titans, so if you want the new teen titans just shoot me another request!
Dating the Teen Titans Would Include...
No Specified AU
TW: Language
Genre: Fluff
[DC Masterlist]
Word Count: 2.0K (About 0.2K per Titan)
Dick Grayson
You must have an insane amount of patience, truly, to be able to date Dick Grayson
If the joke book he probably carries around isn’t enough, I would’ve been certain that the ego would drive you away but nope you’re still here
And that’s how you both knew that it was true fucking love you’re both inseparable and the Titans know it.
To put things simply... he loves you and the Titans fear you.
While you’re both somewhat easygoing and hospitable, one would do well not to piss off one or the other because you both come as a package deal and you can kick ass when necessary you just choose not to embarrass Dick like that because you could totally outmatch him.
Don’t ask him that though he’d insist that he’d win.
Best not bring up the first time you met or else the Titans would never let him live it down
But in all seriousness, I see the relationship as rather lighthearted and enjoyable, maybe a bit spontaneous too. Want to go to the beach? Done. Want to kick some ass in Gotham? For sure. It’s like a match made in heaven.
Not to mention that the Titans rather look up to you, which is a definite plus. Not just anyone can date the Dick Grayson.
Wally West
As opposed to popular opinion... I’d think that this is a rather slow relationship.
Speedsters are more than just familiar with how life just flashes by so I think Wally would like to enjoy the relationship at a slower pace, he wants it to last as long as possible.
With that said, you’re both menaces. His speed combined with your cleverness? No one is safe and the Titans know it.
The best moment of your relationship, although this is debatable, was when you and Wally successfully turned the Titan tower into an all-out prank minefield. Trash cans were covered with plastic, buckets of water places on doorways, even wardrobes were switched.
And all done in ten seconds, impressive. Nothing quite like starting a war in the Tower then grabbing burgers after, right?
Kind of cheesy but I can see you both having frequent movie nights that differ in genre according to month. You both probably rotate on who chooses the movie too.
Overall I think you both have a lot of fun together, if I were to compare the “vibes” to something, I would say a summer relationship (that obviously lasts longer than just a summer) where everything is just living life as it goes
Nah because like I said before you guys don’t want to rush things, and you’re always there to remind Wally to just slow down every now and then.
I should probably mention that this is a competitive relationship too, before I go, not everything’s a competition but everything’s a competition, you know? It’s a shame that the Titans often get caught in the cross fire though-
Donna Troy
Oh this one’s fun. Donna’s new to this whole “rest of the world” stuff but luckily she has a wonderful partner who’s willing to teach her everything.
A lot of the relationship consists of you explaining things, but it’s kind of endearing despite Donna’s headstrong attitude towards anything
But Donna is also the kind to be open to learning new things, and you’re open to trying new things. It works like clockwork, you’re both young and willing.
Now these “things” can range from baking cookies to extreme mountain climbing so be prepared for anything in this relationship.
Overall I think the Titans see you both as a really cute relationship, one that anyone could be slightly envious of and one that they’re glad that exists
But despite this loving relationship I think you’d both be absolute machines in a battle, I think one thing that is important to Donna is ultimately respect for each other’s abilities, having grown up on Themyscira and all, and maybe that one battle where you absolutely demolished the enemy was when she really caught interest.
Or not. It could’ve also been when you mistakenly ran into one of the glass walls in the tower and she developed a crush over you while you mumbled a series of curses.
This relationship is strongly built on loyalty, so I think you both would be describes as a pair of ride-or-dies who typically tend to lean towards the latter, especially when trying the more extreme things that Donna asked you about.
But overall I think it’s a really sweet relationship with few bumps, they’re still there but I mean that you’re both good at working through them.
Victor Stone
I feel like this relationship is very classical high school romance, you know?
Like walking to class together, holding each other’s books, stuff like that.
But on the other hand I feel like you’re both a very fun couple to be around, like you know how when you’re with some couples it feels like you’re third wheeling? Not these two. You feel like you’re part of the crew
You guys probably switch between fun couple and parent couple every now and then, I can see the Titans relying on both of you a lot for different things.
You and Victor are definitely the type to play games to determine who buys food, like things as simple as rock-paper-scissors to things as complicated as 8-Ball, and so far you’ve been winning at a ratio of 3:1.
Definitely a very trusting relationship, I feel like you both reach that comfortable stage faster than most, but it feels right, you know? I think you’d both understand that relationships go both ways.
There are probably times where you’re both in a teasing mode too, I think, but they’re mostly light hearted pranks, definitely not anything in the realm of what Wally would do
I kinda want to say that you’re a very active couple in that you both like to go to the gym together and idk take hikes together but at the same time I also want to say that you’re both inclined to stay home and play video games so I guess it’s like a 50/50
I can also see Victor being the type to do small acts of generosity as opposed to like buying gifts to show his appreciation for you, like I feel like he’s more inclined to help you with small tasks when he knows you need it, you know? Overall very cute, hehe
Raven (Rachel Roth)
Now this one’s interesting, you and Raven are certainly an interesting duo, but the most interesting thing would likely be how you met. Let’s say it involved a blood sacrifice, a bat, and a very old bicycle.
No you weren’t trying to summon her someone else was you just ended up being at the wrong place at the wrong time anyway moving on
You’re both the perfect example of opposites attract for more reasons than just one.
But what makes it better is that you’re always open and willing to learn and understand many of the things that Raven does and she appreciates it a lot
It goes both ways also! She’s always willing to do whatever you ask her to and you both end up having at least some fun even if it happens to be something she isn’t used to.
Random, but I think a favorite pass time for both of you is simply sitting in her room and reading books, weird, I know, but like there’s something inherently romantic about either of you excitedly showing the other a certain passage you both enjoyed or telling them about your book, it’s just so sweet.
She definitely has a personal bias towards you, obviously, Garfield can say a joke and she’d stare at him with a straight face but you could say the exact same joke probably right after him and she would crack a smile and she probably does that on purpose but it still feels nice
You also may or may not have caught on to her incantations and now you may or may not be able to perform these spells but you haven’t tried because you wouldn’t know how to but it’s just telling of how much time you spent together.
I only mention this because there was an event in which you corrected her incantation and suddenly hell fire appeared which she had to figure out how to get rid of and since then you both mutually agreed to both (a) not tell the Titans and (b) not say incantations out loud
Koriand’r (Starfire)
STOP YOU GUYS ARE SO CUTE anyway you’re definitely both kinds to see beauty in everything
Maybe this relationship is rather dangerous considering you’re both curious people and Kori happens to be able to shoot lasers out of her eyes so maybe you should both be just a little more careful
You’re both probably very doting on both each other and the rest of the Titans and although you’re both well intentioned it has become a case of “oh no there’s two of them” but in like a teasing way
I feel like Kori is very open to sharing a lot of aspects about her culture with you, and you have always found Tamaran culture to be beautiful so it fits
Likewise you share a lot of things about your culture too and you both bond over finding ways to combine them together to make a nice fusion of understandings and it’s all a sweet combination
See a big thing about this relationship if that you both put your everything into it, it is an equal push and equal pull kind of thing where you both love each other with everything that you have and it creates this unbreakable bond that even non-supers have come to acknowledge
Though this also results in the both of you frequently being in your own world even when others are around and that’s something you both promised to fix but yeah...
It’s coming around, don’t worry. You’re both making active efforts but sometimes it just slips your mind and whoops
Now this should go without saying but this trust often leads to powerful combinations when in missions, you’re both fiercely loyal to each other and this often plays in overall favor so all is well
Garfield Logan
This is a fun relationship, definitely, and one that’s also very fulfilling.
You’re both definitely an outdoorsy couple, things like hikes, nature walks (which I guess is also a hike but I’ve been told otherwise), trips to the zoo, etc. but this all just builds the relationship
Also a very sweet one! You both have an unlimited amount of energy and love that you’re often expending said energy volunteering somewhere and helping others out
But when it boils down you’re both also very touchy, I think, you both like being together at all times and cuddles are a frequent occurrence but at the will of the other Titans you both do this in privacy
I also feel like this sweetness can also “flip,” so to say. As in if someone messes with either of you in the relationship the other will come running regardless of whether or not they could do anything about it.
To put it short, you both have each other’s back all the time. Literally, like I said you’re both inseparable.
Despite these I think the relationship would actually be rather lowkey, I don’t think he would be the type to constantly showcase the relationship. I think he’d mention it like once to get it out there but after that he wouldn’t flaunt you around.
I just think that Garfield, even with his usual out and about behavior, is rather modest when it comes to this topic because you’re more to him than just someone to show off, you’re someone who’s important to him and overall he just wants you to be comfortable
If there’s one flaw in this relationship it’s that when you have arguments it’s just horrible, but also rather comedic. Neither of you talk to the other but you both end up still being in the same room together subconsciously. It’s kind of awkward but the coincidences are what makes the other Titans laugh and honestly you both make up within, like, a day or something.
