First off, obviously this is a WC blog so I won't go further but THANKS for the brief dunk of The Lion Guard, that's one of my biggest problems with the show. Second off, are you seeing this shit Elder Bones?! * Points at the Thunder Spoiler Thread at WCRPForums * Do try to avoid reading the posts that aren't chapters though, they're bad as usual for that site lol.

Maybe one day I'll grumble about Lion King on the side blog lmao.

Anyway... that spoiler thread. I try to take these threads with a pinch of salt, but... overall feelings are really getting negative. If I had a Vibes Barometer, the needle would be dipping out of positive right now.

We're 2 books away from the conclusion and I don't know if they have time to turn this around... and they chose to spend time traveling. It's partially a travel book, guys. Several chapters of pointless bullshit.

(Spoilers under the cut-- remember we are getting this secondhand from a spoiler thread. Some of this may turn out to be misrepresentation.)

NIGHTHEART STUFF

We start off where the preview left off. They jerk the shit out of your chain with Squirrelstar teasing but spoiler we DO got her

(CELEBRATORY SQUIRRELSTAR MUSIC)

We get a BrambleSquirrel screaming match. Please for the love of god divorce these characters, this is fucking insufferable

They also had to give Bramblestar a smug little gotcha moment where he's right about his argument, Squilf accidentally walks to SkyClan camp for the plot and it turns out that Bramblestar, the guy who was apparently supposed to have memory issues and brain fog, was right that Squilf forgot how to navigate her own territory

Im dead serious she like... accidentally walked to SkyClan.

This is a clever literary trick called bad writing <3

While they're there, Nightheart says, "HEY WASNT THERE A MEDIATOR THINGY? ISNT HE SUPPOSED TO SOLVE DISPUTES?"

*I look directly into the camera. Right at you. Reader I am glimpsing across the magical threads of the internet, directly into your soul.*

Leafstar

says

"I Forgor"

if this thread is to be believed. Then the canonical explanation for why Tree was not mediating up to this point. Is because every single cat around the lake. Including the geniuses who came up with a unique role JUST for the specialest little boy. Just fucking forgot about him.

(bestselling young adult series)

Do I laugh? Do I cry?

I think im unlocking the emotion that those lizards who shoot blood from their eyes feel just before a squirt

Anyway

There is also an absurd amount of Bramblestar winking at Nightheart and teasing him about his new mate and reminding the audience about how much Nightheart wuvs him. This is probably supposed to be charming?

it just feels unsettling, ngl.

It's even more Bramble Worship than normal, like the writer is trying really hard to stress how cool and awesome their special boy is :D and how dumb and mean his wife is >:( and it's so fucking forced.

They pad the book by having it be cloudy so that StarClan doesn't show up the first time they try to do the Squirrelstar thing

I kept thinking, "What if this wasn't a willing abdication?? What if the Clan didn't have a second chance to do this?? What if this was Nightstar 2 all over again and she died of plot convenience before coming back?! This dumbfuck system has fixed NOTHING"

Plumstone and Dewnose have a moment where they antagonize Nightheart over the fact he was chosen to accompany Squilf and Bramble to the Moonpool, because he just got back and it's not fair

And you know what? They're right actually

Nightheart huffs that Squilf was giving him a Chance To Prove Himself but he doesn't fucking get it! His whole life's been nothing but chances he threw tantrums about being offered or blew up through wrecklessness, like a spoiled brat nepobaby, and he keeps getting more and more

Meanwhile Plumstone here has been in the background just being this consistently steady warrior, and has never gotten a chance to shine

He also has a moment where he whines about Sparkpelt and Finchlight being mean to him in the past when Sunbeam shares they've been super nice to her.

Sunbeam offers that they're probably trying to make up for it and he agrees.

Folks. I REALLY. REALLY HOPE. That this ends with Sunbeam telling him, "Nightheart, you are the problem. They've treated me like Kin, and they treat their Kin well. Do YOU?"

Anyway something happens and suddenly Nightheart's on the trip with Frostpaw.

The rest of his chapters so far (at time of writing the spoiler thread is at chapter 14-ish) are traveling chapters.

The traveling chapters suck diet discount dick. They look like they were rejected submissions for the various travel shenanigans that happened in Riverstar's Home.

For me, this is the most disappointing part of the Thunder Spoiler Thread. I love Nightheart because I really like the idea of him learning to grow, consider his actions, and realize that he's actually been very loved in his life.

I like the impulsive Nightheart from Book 1 who doesn't know what's wrong with himself, shooting down every attempt others make to bond with him, making shocking descisions that frustrate the entire Clan and not realizing how much he gets away with. I hoped that maybe, just maybe, the writing could be a little clever for once.

But, no. On this trip he's still whining to Frostpaw about how his family "wanted him to be like Firestar" and this is treated as something Frostpaw is able to bond with him about, somehow, because Curlfeather wanted her to be a Medcat??? And now she's choosing to be a Medcat again anyway????

FROSTPAW STUFF

WC Writing Team: "Everyone is super invested in Frostpaw's story where she learns to choose her own path! Especially the idea that she chose to not be a medcat of her own will and made a brave choice for herself! Lets fix that"

Literally, I guess lol

Smoky Cameo. Fuck Smoky. I hate this character and I hate seeing his deadbeat ass.

Gotta love how Daisy's one major role in ASC so far has been to be a source of negative emotions for Nightheart, but Smoky gets to be the new Barley with a cutesy barn rest stop.

He calls for a human to come get Frostpaw because she's got wounds.

Like. Cat MEOW MEOW calling. And this summons... a magic vet?

She has the world's fastest field surgery, as if she's some kind of endangered wild leopard and a top-notch vet staff rolled out of a research truck.

They even inject her, by hand, with tranquilizer. Who the fuck carries cat tranquilizer around?

Is this barn in the back of a fucking vet office???

Does this universe have roving surgical vans that drive around and play music like an ice cream truck, waiting for cats to call them over?????

Frostpaw wakes up back in the barn

But now her neck wound is fixed and she's spayed.

She looks down at the fresh cut on her abdomen and is like "what's this"

Smoky: "dont worry abt it"

If Frostpaw is okay with being sterilized, this will be the first time in the series that a cat being fixed will be seen as a good thing

Which, irl, it is. To be clear. Spay and neuter your animals

But dudes, this is really massively unsettling me. It seems like she doesn't know what has been done to her. This has never been treated as a positive thing in this series before. In the last book she was talking about the sort of life she would like to live

Once again she has been stripped of her own choices in a massive way

And if Smoky apparently lives so close to a vet that they just come when he calls,

I have so many questions im losing my marbles

Why is Smoky not neutered

Why were none of his 3, possibly 4 wives spayed

Why are his kids not fixed

Why were his kits with Floss taken "when they were too young to even open their eyes" back in TNP if their humans are so loving and educated

SO EDUCATED THEY WALK AROUND WITH CAT TRANQUILIZER

Anyway through the power of the writers not caring anymore, Frostpaw can now talk to StarClan whenever she wants.

They have magically bestowed a connection onto her.

This is apparently something they can just do now. Maybe it's tied to near-death experiences or the vet or something

Remember Shadowsight having a whole thing about this at the end of TBC?

Remember Mothwing and how upsetting it was to have no connection to them and how finding Willowpaw was a big thing in TNP?

Yeah apparently they could just do this whenever. Sorry.

Frostpaw is just cool with this because fuck the last book where she found out she likes being a warrior

Agency? What's THAT

It's not ok if your mom encourages you to be a doctor nun, but StarClan rips your organs out and forces you to be their mouthpiece and that's peachy-fucking-keen.

Then she goes traveling for several chapters i want to commit crime

Riverstar does the usual alarmist moaning, "ooooouuugh this newest crisis could destroy riverclan!!! Oooooooooooooouuououou it's for real this time!!!!"

Everything's gonna destroy the clans. A light breeze has just reduced ThunderClan to rubble. A beetle has landed gently upon Harestar's nose, 34 dead 25,430 injured

Girl help frostpaw is being followed by clickbait headline ghosts

And, also, for no good reason, the ghosts can't just answer a question. Why? Who fucking knows. Never explained. They can summon Frostpaw into a Ghost Zoom Call whenever they want now, but they're forbidden from revealing anything useful.

Average autistic experience with zoom calls though, can confirm, that is what every zoom call ive ever been in was like.

Im serious though, she tries to ask Reed who killed him, he just says no i cant :(

She tries to ask where her mom is. They don't tell her she's downstairs.

Riverstar says nothing useful

I have never been more frustrated with StarClan as a plot device. This is actually fucking insufferable.

They're annoying enough when they send vague signs and prophecies that amount to nothing, but now they can pop up like shitty unskippable cutscenes and STILL add nothing of value to the plot

Something I was ENJOYING was how much more grounded ASC was compared to previous arcs, and that StarClan was back to being difficult to access directly. Gone. Goodbye.

SUNBEAM STUFF

The highlight of the book everyone leave me alone i need to speak directly to sunbeam

I like how she's finding more reasons than just Nightheart to stay in ThunderClan, but is also struggling with the shift in culture

It's in a Sunbeam chapter that we FINALLY get Squilfstar. Everyone say Thank You Sunbeam

If you even LOOK at the Sunbeam wrong I will smash you to death with my hooves

For once it actually feels like we're using the cast in ThunderClan. Cherryfall, Dewnose, Plumstone, Myrtlebloom, Bayshine, Finchlight, Sparkpelt, and Lionblaze all get some significant little lines to add to this.

In particular I like Cherryfall throwing a bit of a fit about being a senior warrior and acting high and mighty, which Sunbeam immediately dislikes because ShadowClan doesn't do as much posturing. It's fun to see how she percieves ThunderClan cats.

I have a softness for these sorts of stories though, to be fair. The idea of moving to a new place and having to adjust.

It's also neat that she's growing frustrated with how Nightheart has now ditched her THRICE.

Girl please steal his family and dump him.

Be a legend. Marry his sister. It would make you the queen of pettiness you would become my favorite forever

Ivypool's exams are also pretty neat, they all test teamwork abilities. I'm going to be happy when I finally get to read them in full, if nothing else, these trials have been delightful to see.

Anyway the next emergency gathering comes up and it descends into an argument

Dovewing gets to yell at Ivypool and tell her to back off <3 "You're not going to manipulate my mate through me, screw you"

Tigerheartstar and the other leaders eventually agree to meet with the mediator off-screen because the writers don't feel like showing us Tree's madd skillz which definitely justify having this unique role that we completely forgot about until just now

It doesn't accomplish anything meaningful because they only acknowledged the mediator role to make the fans stop complaining

Tigerheartstar agrees to not station more warriors in RiverClan territory but nothing else. Waow.

aaand Berryheart's planning something and Sparrowtail, Sunbeam's father, accidentally spills the beans to his daughter. I like this because I have always imagined him as a himbo

so... yeah. It's not looking great. I'm not having a good time in this spoiler thread. I am hoping that a fair amount of it is misrepresentation, because if it's what the leaker says it is, I'm not going to be a happy camper

Why is Dean so stressed in 14x17?

(We know why.)

Ahem:

The visuals of this are pretty goddamned painful

And WTF is UP with these foreshadowing lyrics??? soft country music -> Jackie Stewart's Maybe Tomorrow>

We had a quarrel Like lovers do Still I can't make my heart Believe we're through For I still love you With all my heart And life means nothing When we're apart Maybe tomorrow When comes the dawn Maybe the dark clouds Will all be gone Maybe tomorrow The sun will shine Maybe tomorrow You'll still be mine

etc etc

This could be foreshadowing...OR maaybe Dean n' Cas actually had a smallish weird fight about Cas leaving again.

I mean, Cas is lying about a ton of stuff (Empty deal, Felix the snake, searching for God), and Dean is pretty good at pinging that, even when he tries to swallow it down and overlook it.

///

And Dean?

Dean is so stressed out that not only do Mary and Jack notice, but they're taking actions to calm him down/cheer him up

Sam prooooobably knows why Dean is unhinged, so he quickly volunteers to get outta Dodge and pick up the food. (I feel ya, Sammy. You are me in this moment.)

Meanwhile, Dean struggles to win Mouse Trap. We get a closeup of the foot kicking the "audience" eye. NOTE that in the actual game, it's just a plain silver ball.

Or at least that's how I remember it and have always seen it. If anyone know of a version that was released with an eye, hit me up.

Otherwise I'm gonna assume it was completely intentional, and Dean is trying to have a normal family game night without "us" interfering.

He's, uh, wound pretty tightly today, actually.

We can see that from Jack and Mary's following convo. Seems like today, they're the ones tag-teaming to mollify Dean.

(Dean, who is stressed because Cas is AWOL and acting cagey and probably not answering his phone again.)

JACK: "I thought this was supposed to relax him."

Ahahaha, oh Mary. "Let's give Dean a little game and he'll relaxies and be nicies to us!"

Oh yea.

Cas definitely isn't answering his phone, and everyone is tiptoeing around Dean because of it.

///

Tragedy: Jack & Mary get along really well!

Just gonna point out that Jack is actually VERY comfortable with her in general.

He spent MONTHS with her at war. She was his advisor. Given that he ran away from TFW a few weeks after his birth, much of his formative parenting was done by Mary Campbell Winchester, not Sam and Dean (nor Cas)!

She checks in with Jack, but she doesn't push. Result? Genuine, blunt Jack emotions:

(MARY is thinking "FUCK, first my oldest son is acting like a basket-case and screaming at a toddler's game and now my grandson is acting like this. FML. Cas, come home now. Plz for the love of all that is holy.")

Tragically, because of the trust and comradery between them, Mary offers something the others don't: permission to vent.

(MARY: Jack, if you wanna talk shit about everyone, I love shit-talk. )

Funnily enough, Mary doesn't use a lot of words here. It's a partially silent communication. "If you ever wanna vent..." (gentle head tilt like, 'y'know.')

JACK: You're here. I know. (silent appreciative looks, then Jack makes a head motion like 'c'mon let's go').

And ACTUALLY.

Jack reacts genuinely well to that. He and Mary...get each other. He feels comfortable telling her what he really thinks.

See, I think this emotional permissiveness that we see with Mary is devastating. Jack tends to get more genuinely irritable and say what he thinks with Mary (also Dean n' Cas). Even when he's soulless and working hard to "perform" soulfulness, his real irritation slips out with her.

Tragically, that means she was probably always more risk with Jack. Because he's more comfortable throwing his real, ugly emotions at them.

(Sam on the other hand is more cerebral and perhaps at times...unintentionally distant because it's all so eloquent, careful, scripted.)

///

DEAN: (swallowing his nerves and trying to be cheerful and teasing) All right! Winchester game night is a go! Soon as Sammy gets back with two double-pepperoni meat blasters...and a pineapple.

Jack seems appreciative of the banter here. He doesn't wanna be pushed right now.

///

Dean is weird when Sam doesn't pick up his phone right away

When Donatello lands in Nick-shaped peril, Dean tries to call Sam. ONCE. And it gets an...out-of-proportion reaction from Dean.

(It's also...a lot like John's voicemail in Phantom Traveler. "This is John Winchester. I can't be reached. If this is an emergency, call my son, Dean. He can help.")

He's prickly:

SAM: "You've reached Sam Winchester. If this is an emergency, call my brother."

DEAN: Sam's not answering his phone. This whole damn town's a dead zone.

That's...not exactly true, as least what we've see so far in the series? They make calls from the bunker a lot.

*coughs* This lends some credence to the fact that his prior stress (the stress that Jack and Mary were working together to help) is about his, uh, phone. Phone calls. Phone calls not being answered, even.

READ: This is about Cas. Who hasn't been answering his phone. And Dean? Dean rationalizes that maybe his calls aren't landing because of where he is.

///

There's some truth to Dean's woes/anxiety. When Cas leaves, bad things tend to happen. And hey, they happen when Cas is there too, sure, but with Cas there, Dean can't help but feel more resilient, more equipped to take on whatever-it-is.

///

But yeah, it's looking like Dean and Cas maybe already had a little, reserved/restrained fight prior to Jack killing Mary. Dean was acting...really weird. Forced.

#spn 14x17 #spn game night #fambly #jack stuff #dean stuff #dean/cas #mary stuff #even performing and trying to see like his soul is intact...with mary jack's REAL feelings leak out more readily

that gay brother/little sister post you reblogged was soooo juicy so now i wanna ask your thoughts on gay roman (i’m absolutely a gay roman truther)

so i'm not attached enough to roman to have TOO many pre-formed thoughts on this but i'm gay enough i can't not have thoughts, so. another disclaimer, due to my lack of attachment i'm not whatsoever married to the notion of either kendall or roman (or shiv for that matter) being gay as opposed to bi. however i have eyes and a brain so i know they're all not straight, like that much is basically textual.

but anyway. when it comes to any of the roy siblings and homosexuality, i'll say my very first thought is this monologue from Angels in America. not that they would necessarily have that exact ideology about it, but those notions would greatly inform their attitude about themselves. imo roman, with his inclination toward fascistic masculinity in particular, would be the most likely to overtly think these things, and i do think he kind of does. roman knows that he's unable to get off with normative sex, but he also explicitly derides "liberal butt-love" and implicitly (sometimes explicitly) all the non-conforming and gender-bending stuff that goes along with it. that's at least partially because he's talking about a category of people that he does not belong to, due to being far above it. it's often the case for those who are rich and powerful and condemn the same "deviant" practices that they themselves engage in, whether it's gay sex, or just generally non-normative sex, abortion, etc. it's okay for me, but not for you.

but that's just one piece to roman's puzzle because there's also clearly shame wrt masculinity (logan's masculinity) and also some sexual trauma involved. i think kieran and/or one of the writers has said something about not wanting to pin Why Roman Is Like That on anything in particular, like not wanting to definitively say that something happened to him as a kid, but honestly i think it's extremely unlikely that he'd be like that about sex if nothing did. maybe it was very complicated and it not any singular event, but there's got to be something. some sexual depth to his childhood abuse that never got explicitly touched on. other people much more invested in roman than i have done really good meta on the roys' relationships to their bodies (like w the Summer of Competetive Eating Disorders), so i'm not gonna try to rehash those other ppl's thoughts, but in short that's the sort of thing i think of when i'm trying to imagine what the fuck happened to roman. like just over-arching themes of The Boot throughout roman's life, the lack of ownership over his own body in a way that reflects femininity and strips him of manhood, whether at home or at military school, etc.

i mean, we (as in the audience) are definitely at least supposed to wonder, like when it's implied that Mo's pederasty wasn't exclusive to girls (Don't Get In The Pool With Him), but also, if anything of that nature happened to him and informed roman's relationship with his sexuality, i have to also think that roman doesn't actually remember. his whole thing in austerlitz where he jokes to connor "i'm gonna tell them you diddled me" gives me the sense that maybe roman just kind of wishes it was that cut-and-dry, because then he'd have something specific to blame his whole deal on.

anyway. this is about roman being gay, not specifically sexually Weird - i just think the context of all that is relevant to how he'd conceptualize himself and any gay feelings he has. and i do think that if and when roman has ever had sex with men, he probably does lump it in with the fact that he can't have Normal sex. i think roman would have to undergo a lot of character development to ever consider it normal sex. honestly, simply recieving a handjob from his personal trainer was likely "wrong" enough for roman to get off despite how the average gay man would see it as extremely vanilla compared to roman needing to be degraded or fantasizing about necrophilia. growing up with logan "i didn't figure you for a faggot" roy would have, of course, really reinforced the ideas about that being Wrong.

(speaking of logan dropping the f slur, i think it's interesting that despite how roman acts anti-woke in front of others, he's shocked when logan says it. it's clearly crossing a line even for him, almost certainly because he's been abused with this word throughout his life. :'/)

so yeah i don't think roman would ever call himself gay (or even bi or queer) even if he is. and as for the matter of if he is, like as in, if tabitha and gerri are exceptions... i honestly don't know, but i don't think roman knows either. i think the relationship he has with love and sex, his own body and others, the very concept of desire and the love and affection and closeness he seeks out... are genuinely so gnarled and complicated, and wrapped up in all the aforementioned shame and abuse, that figuring out where gender factors into it would - once again - basically require years of therapy on his part.

it's definitely very plausible to me that kinky, non-normative sex is something he only needs in order to get off with women because he has no innate desire for them even when he loves them (and roman definitely has a lot of love inside of him that he will bend over backwards to give and recieve). but it's just as plausible that roman's association of feelings of wrongness with sexual pleasure is in fact unrelated to whatever gendered desire he has or doesn't have. his attraction to men is, funnily enough, more undeniable to me than his attraction to women is, but i do think that how it's portrayed in the show emphasizes roman's role in the world more than desire he holds inside of him. i always think of that one tweet that's like "whenever there's a guy that needs to be seduced, instead of shiv or some other hot woman they send roman." and his role as the Desired One (aka Practically A Woman) is likely a sort of spite factor in him wanting to deny overt homosexual interest too, since it's kind of imposed on him before he has a chance to say anything about who he is.

it's funny bc roman is the one male character where like... i simultaneously like the idea of them being gay and enjoy their relationships with women. he's just so complicated that he kind of exists outside the constructions of sexual orientation? like not in the "he's closeted and he's never coming out so even if he's gay, he's also not" way, but "this guy would not be able to figure out how to define attraction or desire to begin with." gerri being the love of his life and the notion of him being gay are not whatsoever mutually exclusive in my mind, because he's just that complicated.

finally i wanna say, again, that i'm not extremely attached to roman. nowhere near to the degree that i care about tom and greg. which i say because yknow.. i want to kill and maim when i see anything implying that either tom or greg are anything but gay. idk how you feel about it but i'd totally sympathize if you were the same about roman, lol. and i wanna emphasize that it's very likely the only reason i'm not necessarily a gay roman truther is because i haven't thought about it enough. i'd love to see anyone else's gay roman meta if they have it.

I'm glad to see Jensen is team "Ben not being Dean's son.

Oh, same.

The whole Lisa & Ben interlude is one of those things I always find weirdly fascinating, because it's one of the particularly standout times other fans have gotten something so SO different from me out of watching the same show.

Like, to me? It seems so clear Dean going to live with Lisa & Ben is trying to turn a fantasy into reality and ultimately realizing it doesn't work. He was worn down from all the apocalyptic-level shit enough to start dreaming about being normal, and there was Lisa with a ready-made family he could imagine fitting into. Easy, right? Except when he goes to try to live it as reality, not only was he heartbroken over losing Sam? From the start, the everyday life montage is intercut with scenes of him remembering fighting monsters, which to me implies a disconnect from the life he's actually living now - even if you discount that he's also pointedly shown drinking, which I don't. He's been having beers for a year with a guy who knows nothing about him, so he doesn't seem to have any real friends. His immediate response to hearing a scream is to go looking for a hunt and lie to Lisa about it. Even after the reveal that Sam is back and he decides to stay there, which is at least partially out of feelings of obligation? The intrusion of monsters bursts his little bubble of pretend so hard he turns obsessively paranoid and controlling. Which is so intense it honestly seems to me like it would have inevitably happened at the first monster intrusion, Sam or no Sam. I do think Lisa is speaking true when she says she knew it was over when Sam came back because of their unconventional relationship? But I also think neither she nor Dean is being entirely honest about how genuinely happy and stable they really were before that - from what we were actually shown.

Yet there are other people that watched that same set of episodes and are convinced if it wasn't for Sam, Dean would have been deliriously happy forever in suburbia with Lisa & Ben. Ben should definitely have been Dean's biological son so he would have stayed and done what was really best for himself!

Add on to that how I found Ben whiny and annoying when he tried to pretend his mother dating someone else was the end of the world? And how bringing Lisa & Ben back at that point and the end of the season just felt like resurrecting an already dead story for gratuitous angst purely for the sake of angst? Not to mention how the only supposed evidence for it actually being true is a demon talking shit and the kid acting vaguely like Dean when Lisa pointedly stated that she "had a type" so all that was just as likely someone else's (or several someone elses') influence?

Yeah, I'm pleased to see Jensen add himself to team "Ben's not Dean's son" alongside Kripke [X].

YOOOO THAT PLAYER SACRIFICING THEMSELVES TO SAVE EVERYONE WAS SAD AF!!!! But what if like instead of being erased, they appear in some heaven like world and the Maker's there to tell them that they did pretty good?

That's the thing, Shattered!Player isn't truly dead, but they're stuck in a digital limbo between existence and non-existence. Due to them being subjected to the reset, their body is shattered all over. After their sacrifice, they were SUPPOSED to die. But...the Player was never programed to actually die. How can a game kill someone that's 'real'? Going on Salty's AU logic, similarly to how the Player isn't coded to take damage, the Player isn't programmed to die. So instead of dying, they 'glitch' out between life and death because the machine doesn't know where to put their being. Like how grunts go to Hell, Auditor's Hell, or The Other Place, Humans in Nevada won't have a place to go when they die. So it creates an anomaly effect and pretty much keeps the Player intangible, but 'partially' alive. Instead of death, they wallow in confusion and being eternally stuck in a temporal loop of remembering and forgetting unless the shards of their being are brought back to them. Restoring their 'code' and reviving them back to their normal status. Until then...they merely exist as a 'glitch' and an anomaly that can't even remember their own name. Even if they did, they would eventually forget all over again due to their body being so unstable. If the Maker did get involved, I think he would try to help find their missing pieces. It's the least he could do for the being that saved Nevada from a total calamity that would've caused it to collapse. He thinks you deserve a second chance.

3 4 13 15 18 for Ragnar/Floki/Athelstan 😊

AHHH THANK YOU MUCH another list for u

3. Scars or painful spots

Ragnar still has a HELL of a scar from Haraldson's raid on his farm, and this is one that loves will spend time petting when they're curled around him, especially Athelstan, because Ragnar got this partially protecting HIM.

Floki has many scars from a life of fighting (Biggest is from when Borg straight up hit him in the chest with an AXE) but his most specific pains are actually his joints. He's got that leather piece on his wrist in season one (possibly past that but I CANNOT REMEMBER) that I like to think it's a wrist brace, especially important as a ship builder since it'd be easy to hurt his wrists in his line of work.

Athelstan of course has his hands after his crucifixion. That's the kind of injury that may heal but it's ALWAYS going to hurt, and of course it's scarred over. He can still use them but they're always going to be fragile and easily hurt. If he writes or draws for long periods of time he needs to have gentle hand rubs.

4. Best places to kiss on their body

Ragnar would probably be a little shit here and say the best place to kiss him is his dick, something guaranteed to make Athelstan choke on his water and Floki to happily pipe up that HE ONLY NEEDED TO ASK.

Floki I think I've done previously for this question specifically but since he's very ticklish it's best to kiss him on spots where it'll tickle him and get a giggle. If you're not making Floki giggle when you kiss him what are you even here for?

...As you know, I am down for the 'Athelstan gets chubby after finally being well fed' headcanon so. Kiss that tummy. Kiss his belly and remind him that he's gorgeous please. (Also, cheek kisses will get him adorably red faced so these are also a favorite)

13. What gets them flustered

Ragnar can be thrown just by the presence of unexpected things, but it doesn't manifest as being flustered as much as... curious. He's very curious when something doesn't go the way that he expected. (This is part of why he took Athelstan home after all. He was nothing like Ragnar expected.)

Floki doesn't get flustered so much as INTENSELY EXCITABLE. The only things that really throw him off are when people do question his faith but then it's not like.... is it flustered if he's mostly just very very mad?

Athelstan gets flustered by ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING. BLUSHY BOY. FLUSTERED AND GAY AND NEVER KNOWING HOW TO HANDLE IT. Once he gets a little more settled he gets less easily blushy fluster but early on, goddamn. It's everything.

15. What it takes to make them cry

Ragnar says he's an angry crier which is true but that's only a technicality because he gets angry every time he's sad. So like YES he is an angry crier but he's also only mad because he's SAD. Anyway for what it takes to get him here, Ragnar Cannot Handle loss. The thought that people and things he love can be taken away from him and he might not be able to change it or fix it? Absolutely not he CAN'T deal. There's not supposed to be anything he can't fix.

Floki probably cries the easiest out of the three because he actually does cry when he's frustrated and while he's normally in a perfectly fine mood, occasionally his brain DOES try to eat itself and he gets worked up and Cannot calm down and this is when he starts the frustrated tears.

Athelstan is actually the LEAST likely to cry I think, at least where people can see him. He is an EMOTIONAL REPRESSION boy, always ready to slam down his own feelings and try to ignore them. He'll only start crying when he's reached his absolute limit (so, when all his brothers are dead and he realizes he's stuck here for REAL and finally starts crying at the river.)

18. Things they’ll never admit

Ragnar won't admit fault, even when he KNOWS he's done something wrong. He'll be able to recognize privately that this is his fault and he'll try to make up for it in various ways but actually looking at someone and saying 'This is my fault and I'm sorry' is just. Challenge level impossible.

Floki...... does not have something lol. Literally he admits anything and everything because refusing to admit something means having something he's ashamed of people finding out and TRULY HONESTLY he does not know what shame feels like.

Athelstan meanwhile has ALL the shame, all of the shame one person can fit into their being, but he also feels guilty when he hides things so only the worst things (he thinks) are things he'll never admit. I have a headcanon that he had a crush on another monk when he was much much younger and this monk died of illness at some point and anyway, Athelstan still feels like somehow he killed him with the sin of having had a crush.

angsty ladrien 👀👀👀👀

ok, to be honest i doubt i'll ever finish this one. it was supposed to be partially an exercise in writing present tense, which 1. i hate doing, and 2. i've actually done since i started this doc ahaha. this is an oooold WIP

But basically the idea is that during the "final fight" there's some sort of accident as Hawk Moth's transformation drops, and Gabriel ends up in the hospital in critical condition. So, Ladybug's keeping Adrien company in the waiting room while he waits to see if his father's going to make it (she knows his identity but he doesn't know hers) and it's sort of him sorting through his feelings about?

“Am I supposed to want him to live?” “He’s still your dad. It normal to want him to be okay.” “And if I don’t know if I do?” Adrien whispers, so quiet Ladybug almost misses it. And that question…she doesn’t know how to answer. Oh, she knows how she feels. She hates Gabriel Agreste with the power of a thousand burning suns for what he’s done to his son. To Paris. To her, even. So if he dies…she won’t grieve. And if it was her life or his, Adrien’s life or his, pretty much anyone’s life or his, Ladybug wouldn’t hesitate to drive the knife in herself. But is she supposed to feel that way? Shouldn’t she have more compassion? What’s the appropriate punishment for a man who's killed millions of people when they were all resuscitated at the end of the day, so there was no lasting damage. Is his life a fitting way to pay that price? Marinette doesn’t know. She can’t remember if she wanted Hawk Moth dead before today, only that the thought of ever seeing his face again makes her want to punch something. Because he did this. He hurt Adrien. And even though his death will almost certainly hurt Adrien more, he can’t just get away with all he’s done. And now Adrien, who before today probably would have been the first to say that nobody deserved to die for their mistakes, is asking her this. If his father should die. If some part of him is allowed to want that. And Ladybug is too young for that kind of question. She’s sixteen, and five hours ago her biggest worry was tomorrow’s History test that she probably won’t write now. She’s sixteen, and she’s supposed to be asking her crush out to the movies, not holding his hand as his father lays dying. She’s sixteen, and she doesn’t have all the answers no matter how much Paris looks up to her. Ladybug saves the day. She repairs the damage. She doesn’t stay to see what happens afterwards. She doesn’t know how to heal the invisible scars she and all of Paris have sustained. She’s never dealt with the aftermath before. Not like this. And she shouldn’t have to. She can’t. Suddenly this is all too much. She’s saved Paris a thousand times, but she can’t help the boy that means the world to her. So she croaks out some lame excuse about needing to use the washroom, and she runs. Because that’s what Ladybug does. Once the dust settles and the immediate crisis has passed? She runs away when things are tough. And if Paris knew that, they wouldn’t love her half as much.

Thanks for the ask!! 💜

Wolfram's Journey - Comic Script

Shadowbringers - lvl 80

Wolfram has a very civil discussion with Emet-Selch. /s

Catch up on my WoLComics (Chronological List)

Please remember - just because an OC hates your favorite character it doesn't mean their writer hates you. (Or even the character.)

This is the script for a future comic. Posting for those who don’t want to wait to get the story. Numbers indicate frame number.

Post Hades fight. Hades, Ascian robes pierced standing at the edge of the arena. Wolf in the center. The Scions (off frame?) on the far side. Narrator - "Wolfram (The Warrior of Darkness) and the Scions have just defeated Hades, but Wolf has some things to get off his chest before the Ascian is gone. Hades smiles sadly - "Can you truly say you would not have done the same for your loved ones?"

Wolf, standing far away, smiles sadly - "I cannot deny that I would try to bring back my loved ones were I in your position… and so I empathize with you…to a point. I do pity your civilization."

Hades smiles sadly - "Remember…remember us. Remember… that we once lived…"

Wolf scoffs - "Ah, and here is the point where you lose me. I do pity your civilization. And I don't blame them for you. You… Thinking back on my journey there were so many more deserving of my remembrance than you. Like entering the Waking Sands to find the bloodbath your Garleans had made of the Scions Headquarters. Holding that poor Sylph as she passed. Wondering if my friends had survived."

Wolf sad/pained expression - "I remember standing in that husk of Dalamud surrounded by dragons. Enslaved and suffering for centuries. Forced into continued prayer for their god Bahamut. Denied death. Their feelings were so overwhelming. I could never forget them. Your Allagans did that. Their sins are your own."

Wolf walks towards him, Hades confused. Wolf grinning - "I remember my friend bleeding out in front of me. Struck down by another of you Ascians. Trying my best to comfort the other Scions despite my own grief as I knew theirs was far greater. I remember the experiments I put down in the Crystal Tower. Xande was your doing as well, correct?"

Wolf furrowed brow close up shot - "I remember a man, so scarred by what your Garleans had done to his home that he betrayed those who trusted him. He maimed and tried to kill the person I care for most in this world just for the mere possibility of revenge against your empire."

Hades looking down. Wolf walks closer, sword drawn, grinning bitterly - I remember watching another friend blown out of the sky by magitek. A beautiful soul. She spent her short life fighting for peace and didn't live long enough to see it fulfilled. Your Garleans did that. I remember Azys La… that hellscape of pain. Every creature cried out for death …and I gave it to them as well as your comrades fool enough to get in my way."

Hades concerned. Wolf reaches him, tilts Hades chin up with his left hand, grins madly and whispers - "I suppose because of the Garleans - you get partial credit for my family being ripped apart in front of me. For this darkness inside that prevents me from following my heart. I'll go ahead and blame you for all the pain I've caused him while I'm at it."

Wolf, straight face, speaking normally - "Anyroad, my memories. So you know where I went next, right? Back home. *My home* that was ripped away by the empire you created. I saw what they'd done to my country. To my people. A nation of my kin ground into the dirt under the heel of yours."

Wolf's eyes glow white. He grasps Hades' robes, lifting him off the ground. Hades straight face. - "Aye I'll remember you. Every time I think of this blood soaked world you've created. So I've only one thing left to say -"

Wolf leans closer and yells - "FOR ALA MHIGO!" Runs his rapier through Hades' neck. Hades eyes go wide.

you don't have to say it if you don't want to but i really would be curious about your thoughts on flowerpot trio & seodore/sanemitsu, i feel like i don't see people's thoughts on them too often!

*cracks knuckles* Spoilers for god damn everything

Remember : I am always wrong !

Flowerpot

I love. a good three way polycule as much as the next guy. But flowerpot really does not read that way to me?

Specifically, I'm very very partial to platonic minoru/hajime ; Hajime has never been in a plain, even-playing-field, nothing-expected-in-return friendship and I think that's so important for his character, that Minoru just saw him a Guy, a normal human person, which obviously puts Hajime in mind of. his own messiah complex and of Seodore - but Minoru's still a valued friend to him. tldr I think Hajime's whole complex regarding being 'just a person' doesn't work as well without Minoru standing strong as the embodiment of well-meaning, unbiased doubt to contrast with Utsugi's blind love.

noriyuki/minoru I'm more open to but it still doesn't feel like it would be returned by Minoru to me? In general I have a fairly. aromantic take on Minoru I suppose (and. basically all the Haradas sggdd), I generally look at his place in EHRI through the 'looking for a family home' mindset, including MinoRei (as in, he probably believed that he loved her, but was moreso infatuated with the idea of a wife and kids and friends and a home, to the point of denial of everything - until he can't take the denial anymore and returns to his role as the pillar of Doubt). tl;dr Minoru "wow these 2 guys look normal I should be friends with them nothing will go wrong"

noriyuki/minoru part 2, I do love generational utsuhara angst, despair factor yada yada. I could see Noriyuki harboring feelings towards Minoru, and in general I think they work off each other really well, and could, had they met anywhere else, have made for a really good and healthy couple - and that's! the thing! I love picturing it as like. MinoUtsu is the What Could Have Been, What Should Have Been, Minoru is the kind of person that Noriyuki 'needs' and who understands him - but that's not how things turned out. Because Noriyuki already devoted his life to Hajime. Because he made that vow and he won't, wouldn't take it back, he has no choice but to commit to his heart and not turn back - there's not room for anything else because he can't abandon ship at this point. He needs Hajime and Hajime needs (or needed, he can't be sure now) him, and even though they're destroying each other and there were definetely better outcomes - that's what their love is. God they make me ill. The end of DLC7... Utsugi talking about Hajime in third person and then to Minoru, in first person, as the one person who understood him even if he never wanted to admit it. and THEN. even then, I had no regrets in my devotion to you (Hajime). God. God. go d

ueem. I'll keep the (rest of) hatsugi section brief because as mentioned above. I Am Not Normal Abou Them but. Generally I don't think either of them understand romantic love very well or even experience it 'normally'. I think Hajime probably was the one to develop that sort of attachment first, with Noriyuki starting of more as a baseline / agape-like adoration/aspiration for that Star and only grew a genuine (albeit. codependent and fucked up they're so.) Love with a capital L for Hajime as a person as he learnt more of who he was and all his flaws and shortcomings and fuckedupness because he made that promise to shoulder everything so that Hajime could smile (and . live with himself) which is why it sucks so bad when Hajime's forgotten the meaning of their vow because he's so. fixated on being loved as a star (savior) and feared as calamity (also a form of savior, ie agent sent to kill seodore) and just. mrmrmrm. I said i'd keep it brief so I will but tl;dr they're very very. cant love anyone but you, bound to you till the end, right next to you yet emotionally so far away, never able to bridge that gap. again. end of DLC5 put in parallel with DLC7 is such a tonal contrast it makes me ill Hajime is so *throws him at the wall 17 times* fucked up !!! the hierarchy of hajime needs . 1. fucking over my dad !!! 2. oh yeah, noriyuki Seodore, Sanemitsu

Ok. ok

I don't like Seosane, in part because of the aforementioned aromantic take on Sanemitsu, but also because I generally dislike shipping immortal characters with much younger mortal ones even if they're old men by mortal standards it's. erhr. And I get that it's a personal thing. And it depends with the kind of immortas that it is, some feel truly frozen in time, but Seo never gave me that vibe (and tbf i guess that would make it weird for me in the opposite way?) But I think it's the fact that Seo and Mutei were contemporary of each other that really does it for me,,, like that's his grandpa bro idk man. I don't have a probelm with anyone who ships it though o7

That said, while I don't think it would be returned, I do. think it's probable that Seodore has that kind of attachment to Sanemitsu, at least to an extent - and I think that makes him a weirdo ! like a little ! /lh Like yeah some of the lines in DLC definetely read that way + something something this is the world he lived and died in but have you really moved on um um. Yeah. Seodore's a weird guy for a lot of reasons. Furrows my brow at him

#ghozt attempts to express himself clearly for an hour #sorry aria #</3 #cell of empireo #ask

I need to make a personal vent post, so bear with me for a moment.

me and my mom do not have a good relationship, she thinks we do but in reality, on my end, we don't. she has made me feel insecure, unsafe, unloved, undervalued, and annoying since I can remember. I wont get into it cause if I did we'd be here all day. but nothing I do no matter how extra or helpful it is, is never met with anything more then a 'good, you should be helping around anyway' lets just say when your love language is acts of service and you're a horrible people pleaser after years of manipulative, explosive abuse at the hands of your mom, that doesn't go over well.

my moms current fiance is one of the best men I have ever met in my life. he treats me better then my own father, and has never done anything to hurt or upset me. he has done the opposite, there have been times he has apologized over things he was worried had a possibility of upsetting me. he does the bare minimum and then some, and makes sure to acknowledge how the bare minimum for me feels like going above and beyond. he makes sure I know that receiving the bare minimum is exactly what it is, the bare minimum, all while doing more for me. lets just say he's helped raise my standards.

now onto the vent part. my family is going on vacation in a iittle more then a day, and I've been home alone, so what do I do with that time. I've been packing, cleaning the house, helping my brother pack when he's here. I've done all this extra stuff to try and smooth over the stress in the house so my parents aren't fighting during our 36 hour drive (my mom throws her stress on everyone else instead of handling it properly or communicating with anyone, cause god forbid she handle stress normally). I've taken the trash out, done piles of dishes (we're supposed to split 50/50 throughout the week but she almost never does her's), cleaned our bathroom (which also gets neglected by her). I have plans to vacuum and mop, help clean out the fridge, meal prep for tomorrow (the day we leave so we don't make more trash right before we leave that has to sit till we come back), packing the car. I've already packed all my stuff, I've been ready to go, did everything I needed to do, and have been doing more. I did it because I want to, and because I feel partially obligated, like I would probably do it regardless of its effect on my mom, but that defiantly plays a role. I just like to feel helpful and I clean when I'm stressed. the response to all this.

my moms fiance has shown his appreciation in his own ways, he's not a big words guy, but he is a gift give. he complimented me for being packed, admired my cleaning, and went to get me monster (it's honestly our love language to buy each other energy drinks, its a ritual we both enjoy and even if it seems small it feels huge to both of us). he also got me a shirt while he was out with a big rainbow on it (it was a deadpool shirt) cause we're going to Florida and one of my uncles down there is super conservative and we both plan on giving him shit.

my mom, shrugged me off, muttered a thanks, and then got mad at me for being in the room cause she had to make a call (she hadn't told me she was making call, basically got mad at me for not reading her damn mind).

basically, I feel like shit because my mom did what shes always done, and a man i've known 2 years has been a better parent then every caretaker i've ever had in my nearly 2 decades of life.

Loved

To @patricia-von-arundel , because today is the most important day of the year. 💜

AO3

•~•~•~•

"How is it?"

Edelgard thought about it for a while, long enough for anybody else to think she hadn't heard or had forgotten the question. Not for Byleth. When Edelgard finally spoke, her voice was unusually soft. "Quiet."

"Are you sure you don't want a party?"

She shook her head. "I just want you here. I just want you to stay."

Byleth giggled. "I thought so. I still spent weeks reading novel scenes and those stupid manners books, asking around and seeking advices. I had no idea how to organize a ball, but I knew I could easily find people who did." She stopped for a moment. "Even if I don't think some of the ideas Dorothea and Ferdinand shared would be considered traditional."

Edelgard frowned. "I'm not sure I want to know. No, no, I definitely don't. Please, whatever it was, forget it, for our own good."

"I will, I will."

They laughed. That was the second gift Edelgard had received that day: Byleth's laugh, one of the sweetest sounds in the world.

"And...El?" Byleth was serious again. She had turned to look at her, close enough to her face that Edelgard almost blushed. She left out a questioning "Uhm?", the best she could manage without her cheeks turning pink.

Byleth smiled. "I'm not going anywhere, not without you.

I love you and I asked you to spend the rest of our lives together. I was lucky enough for you to say yes. I'm not going anywhere."

A thin veil of tears covered Edelgard's eyes, but she hugged her knees, rested her chin on them and refused to let them out. "I know." Her voice was calm and soft. "I know. But I still need to hear it, especially on days like this."

"Days like this?"

Edelgard took a deep breath. "I vaguely remember celebrating birthdays all together. It was chaos, but a very cheerful, happy chaos. " She smiled bitterly. "I have a confuse memory of one of my brothers complaining about me getting gifts when he didn't. My older sister had to explain him about birthdays and that he would have had his day. He was probably still too young to fully understand." Her voice was breaking a little now. "I... I've never celebrated a birthday since...then." Shaking. "I don't remember a happy birthday. I don't remember it. I...don't remember being surrounded by warmth and love. And..." A sigh. Silence to keep the others in.

Byleth arm slowly wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer against her. "You are loved. You are loved very deeply, you will always be, every day of your life." She hesitated. "I know I may not always be good at telling you, but I will do my best to show you, even more today."

Edelgard's fingers grabbed her shirt, while she partially hid her face against her chest. She was still shaking slightly, but she still couldn't help a faint smile. "You are better than you think. And you are showing me every day. I feel very loved." She clung to her even more. "I feel very loved...and I don't know how to deal with it. I'm ...just so afraid to lose it, to lose you. My love, I can't go back to how it was. I just can't."

She was sighing now and Byleth tightened her grip around her waist, using her other hand to gently dry her tears and caress her cheek, to move a rebellious strand of hair behind her ear. "That doesn't matter. Wether you could or could not doesn't matter. You don't have to.

I asked for the rest of our lives: I plan to have it. No, we will have it. You don't have to go back. I won't let go of your hand. I won't let you fall in that cold darkness again. I'll do my best to make you feel loved every day of your life, because I will love you every day of your life." She stopped for a moment, then corrected herself. "Our life. It's our life now. It will always be. There will be many happy birthdays to remember, many happy birthdays to live."

Edelgard let out a shaky breath, while her body slowly relaxed, except for her fingers, that still held Byleth's shirt. "Our life..." Her voice was just a whisper. "Our life." She snuggled even closer, Byleth's arm instantly tightening around her. "Our life...because I'm very loved." More tears, but happy ones now.

They shared the silence for a bit, Edelgard resting her head on Byeth's chest for a few minutes before speaking again. "Do you find it strange?"

"What?"

"That I don't want a party. It's what an Emperor is supposed to do, after all."

"When have you ever done anything because you were supposed to?"

Edelgard laughed. "Fair. Still...I suppose this is no normal way to spend a birthday."

Byleth ran her fingers through Edelgard's hair, enjoying the happy sigh that followed. "It sounds like the perfect way to spend today to me."

Just a relaxed hum as a reply. It felt perfect indeed.

She felt so loved...

Ginny:

What the heck was his problem? No seriously, Ginny Weasley wanted to know. Granted, she was in the wrong class (by mistake, mind you!) and she was just as embarrassed as anyone would have been in her situation but that hardly warranted the scornful look he had on his face upon seeing her. She wasn't exactly thrilled to be in Malfoy's company either, Merlin knew the memory of that day tortured her as much as it annoyed him but she didn't go around acting disdainful towards him. Okay sure, it had been a brief connection, eye to eye, steely grey met her own honey brown, but his look stung her in her chest for some reason, it was a look accusing her of being in the same room as him, as if she wanted that! Leaving potions class, after quickly making apologies before Snape could use her momentary blunder to take points off of Gryffindor, she tried to make sense of her dilemma.

So yeah, why was Malfoy being an utter twat, more than usual, you ask? Well, it all came down to that one fateful day when she was out with her class in the forbidden forest. Dumbledore had announced a compulsory program for year 4 and aboves, they were meant to form groups and with teachers' supervision, would have to spend 5 days learning camping skills. Apparently the ministry of magic thought that students had become too "lazy" and needed more outdoor activities. She didn't even know what Draco was doing there in the first place since his class was supposed to have their camping exercise later but who cares now. All she remembers is that somehow she'd walked right into him sitting near a lake reading a book. And before you ask, she was initially going to ignore him and walk back to the camp, because believe it or not she wasn't particularly interested in talking to him, plus she had wandered off a bit too far in her search for food, and she wanted to go back to her friends when he spotted her and made a rude comment.

Here's the thing you should know about Ginny Weasley, she had that infamous Weasley temper (which she's working on, come on now give a girl a break please), but yeah she can get exceptionally hot headed when she's hungry... and she was very hungry that day hunting for food, so she may have been particularly nasty towards him and may have said something about his upbringing. Listen, he was rude first, she just returned the favour. That kind of started their age old tradition of insulting each other and somehow she and Malfoy ended up in close proximity, somewhere during their shouting match. She doesn't really remember how but it's possible that she may have been the one to shove him first, in her defense, he had insulted her mother's annual Weasley jumpers so she had to do something. That is definitely how both she and him, ended up in the lake and here's the thing, she kinda doesn't recall much of what happened afterwards, because he did look like a snack alright. It's because his white shirt was wet and it was see through, so she had a moment of weakness, may her ancestors forgive her. So yeah, she may have looked at him a certain way, but he was at fault too, he was giving her looks that did things to her heart and elsewhere in her body, his cool silver locks fell over his molten grey eyes and she was sure her heart probably stopped beating at the sight. She can't explain it.

Merlin knew that moment is exactly where her mind was wandering off to, when today she had accidentally, walked into professor Snape's potion lecture when she was meant to be attending charms for year 6 in a different building! No no no, this would not do. Ginny would have to take control of her mind that kept wandering to that day- ugh! There it was again, she was trying NOT to think about it but somehow the memory of Draco's soft lips descending upon hers, his slender hands slowly making their way down her body, her arms pulling him closer and their tongues locking in a passionate embrace.... yeah, that memory won't leave her alone.

It... It felt like he'd done something to her, like that kiss had changed something fundamental in her, she couldn't look in the mirror without thinking of his kiss. She could still imagine it, picture it, taste it even if she closed her eyes long enough... It felt as though he had tattooed that kiss on her lips and it will never go away.

The point is, yeah, she had been affected by that sudden kiss, but she wasn't going around the school being grumpy and passing him dirty looks. She was feeling tortured inside but she was acting indifferent and trying her hardest to forget everything that had transpired between them because unlike a certain irritating man, she didn't want people to suspect anything. She was sure he was disgusted by their kiss, but could he act more mature about everything please? Because she was trying her hardest to ignore him but his constant remarks every time they crossed paths, his eyes which dug holes in her back and his scathing looks were making it very difficult for Ginny Weasley to forget what they'd done in forbidden forest.

Just last evening she was trying her hardest to concentrate on her homework in the library, she had to read each sentence several times to get it through her head, that's how much Malfoy's presence had started to affect her. As she was trying and failing to concentrate, a loud thud from the other table rang throughout the quiet room, making everyone snap their heads in his direction. Malfoy was grumpily packing his books to leave the the library, giving her a murderous look as if everything was her fault somehow he left. She wished things could go back to normal somehow, but what was normal for them, ignoring each other? Or going back at each others throats? It was all very confusing.

Draco:

Merlin! She was doing this on purpose wasn't she, "accidentally" walked into potions, yeah right! How was he supposed to forget the mistake they'd made if she kept showing up everywhere, looking like... that! What was wrong with him? She must have put some kind of spell on him to torment him. Yes, that made sense, because why else on Merlin's earth would he, Draco Malfoy, find her agreeable. It was worse, he found her more than agreeable, those damn red hair, they enchanted him how they flew with the wind as she rode her broom during a match or when they partially covered her face in the dining hall while she would talk to her friends, tempting him to abandon all common sense and run his fingers through them to tuck them behind her ears. Fascinating, how those silky strands danced on her button nose when she was working on her homework in the library until she ended up putting them in a messy bun, which made her look adora— Mental!

She looked mental, she was a weasel afterall. Draco was frustrated, he was tired and most importantly he was angry, how was it that one kiss, one moment of relapse in judgement on his part could change things between him and a nobody like her so much so that here he was, all rewired somehow sitting in potions thinking about her red hair!! Was this how it was going to be from now on, she would just walk into a room and just like that, all logical thoughts in his mind would go out of the window, he would be transported to that singular moment of his life when her honey brown eyes looked up at him right after their kiss, in surprise and... shock. When she had moved her fingers to touch her lips in astonishment, innocent brown eyes looking up to him in confusion, hesitation, wonder? and then they had heard Pansy calling out for him which had made them both snap back into reality. Within moments, they were out of the lake, unspoken agreement that whatever happened, didn't happen.

And now here he was days, weeks later trying his best to be the old Draco, except it seemed like he didn't know what in the name of Salazar he was supposed do in a situation like this? All he knew was that she was suddenly everywhere, in the dining hall, on school premises, in the quidditch training pitch but most importantly, on his mind! That was the worst place she had occupied, it made it impossible for him to function anywhere. She had ruined his peaceful quiet reading spot because he couldn't go there anymore without thinking back to what they did, without imagining 'what if' scenarios, what if Pansy hadn't come to looking for him? What if Ginny wasn't a Weasley, what if he wasn't a Malfoy? Merlin! His ancestors were all probably rolling in their graves right about now.

"Weasley's sure got a nice arse"

Crabbe's loud observation almost made him want to hex the guy but miraculously, at the last minute his self preservation skills kicked in and he was able to keep his cool. He wished Ron Weasley had heard it right now, he would not only shut them up but also provide quality entertainment while doing so. Seriously, if Merlin was about to put him through Crabbe and Goyle's disgusting comments about Ginny Weasley's arse then, he would have no other option but to jump from the astronomy tower maybe, because no way in hell was he going to sit here as Crabbe and Goyle discussed her. Besides, her arse was just okay, like it wasn't all that special or anything. It wasn't big or small, just the normal size... if he was forced to comment on it, he would say it was pert, well-shaped probably because of all the quidditch training she did, it was perfectly round and firm, and frankly speaking, made to fit right in his palms. It wasn't his attraction speaking, no, it was just an objective fact that her arse fits in his hands, he knew that because he'd had the chance to grab it when they had kissed that day. Of their own accord, His hands itched to do touch her again —

"Woah, relax mate, you're gonna break that thing."

Draco looked at where Blaise was pointing and realised he was about to snap the beaker full of potion, he relaxed his hands and exhaled a sigh he didn't know he had been holding. What was that bint doing to him, he was going insane. Zabini didn't press him on what was going on and he was grateful for that. Instead he read more instructions and kept on working on THEIR class project, something they were supposed to do together! Had Draco not been so out of focus lately he would have helped out, but as it happened, a certain foul-mouthed, red-haired, brown-eyed gryffindor was on his mind and everything in life was upside down.

When Draco and Ginny fall into a lake in the forbidden forest, it ends up in an unexpected event. One moment they're arguing, honouring their ancestral family rivalry... the next they're locked in a passionate embrace neither saw coming. What happens now? Where do they go from here? How the heck did it even happen? Merlin, help them.

Name: Yukio

Species: Sword Demon

Hair color: Black with red bangs

Hair style: semi-short in the back and longer in the front with all of the front combed to the left

Eye color: dark red, originally grey

Skin color: steel grey (always feels freezing cold)

Age: 19

How long he's been a demon: almost 100 years by the end of season one

Nickname: Corpse Eater, Sword Demon, Vanishing Sword, Yuki-kun

Fashion sense: prefers alternative and more modern styles, as many piercings as he can get to work and prefers being at-least mostly shirtless. Envies the person who created alternative fashion. He has however modified his clothing and jewelry to not be affected when/if he is ever given strong coffee.

Sexuality: Raging homosexual

Height: he is easily 6'6

Strength: he is a lot stronger than your average demon found out running around to the point where those in the demon slayer core speculate he may be one of the upper twelve kizuki, or atleast was supposed to be. He eventually explains that he is not actively trying to get stronger but actually has a very fast metabolism which he cannot control and actually NEEDS to eat constantly otherwise he's worried he'll either keel over or start acting "like those poor suckers on mt.fujisaka". But if one were to venture to guess he would probably be roughly the same strength as Hantengu or maybe stronger but not quite as strong as Akaza.

Quote: "I'm doing what I can to be the best part of the shadows" (meaning he is making due with the hand he's been dealt and using it to do some good in the world)

Warning: Never under any circumstance give this man strong coffee, unless you need him to move at light speed for about five minutes and then pass out. And if he has some himself without it being given to him do not try to take it from him, he will bite.

His Story: he remembers very little of his human life, the most he remembers on a good day is the night he got kicked out of his family home on a very cold and snowy night, nearly died of hypothermia and then got turned into a demon and He remembers that when he was a human he was fascinated by swords, and was training to be a ninja while moonlighting as an assassin that would take out gang leaders. He was born with a high metabolism (and was definitely not a picky eater) which carried on and got worse when he became a demon. As one would expect due to how much he needed to eat on a regular basis so he would not literally go insane, he got pretty strong pretty quick and quickly developed his powers. He doesn't see himself as strong, due to the fact that him eating as regularly as he does is normal for him so he thinks that he couldn't possibly be getting stronger. Over time he found that he has a preference to more alternative and modern styles of clothing, although he has found that since growing a mouth on his torso; he prefers to be shirtless most of the time. He thinks he is hilarious and has a tendency to make a lot of "sword fight" jokes to other guys he finds attractive if they are comfortable with it, those guys tend to be guys with a naturally high body temperature and an inability to be affected by the passive ability of the eye on his forehead, most of whom are demons. He likes wandering around constantly partially because he CANNOT stand to be in one place for longer than a week and partially to fuck with everyone who is trying to find him because he thinks its freaking hilarious. And there are people trying to find him; the demon slayer core (obviously) so they can cut his head off so they don't have to deal with his shenanigans and bullshitery anymore, and muzan & the twelve kizuki because they want him to join the crew, and on the occasion someone will find him be it one of the average slayers or one of the kizuki/kizuki wanna-be's, but the minute they go and get either a hashira or muzan/one of the kizuki respectively and come back he's already disappeared again and is usually over a mile away.

He wants to be found but at the same time he doesn't because then the long games of either cat and mouse or hide and seek will be over respectively but he will either have the fight of his life or be part of a group of people that he can potentially be friends (and more) with. Although outside of this, He is more of a neutral person not really on one groups side or another, because from his perspective both groups, much like himself; are trying to do what each group thinks it needs to do in order for the group and others like those in the group to survive. Were he to encounter tanjiro, he would find his beliefs, actions and resolve to see his sister turned human again admirable and since he has heard about him on his travels he would likely figure that he can't win against him so instead would offer him some genuinely helpful tips that would up his stealth game quite a bit before taking off. He probably gets crushes on a lot of guys all at the same time being like "oh hes attractive, oooh hes pretty cute to though, damn he is thicc, ect." although he would probably only attempt to "court" either his fellow demons or strong humans that wont actually try to kill him often times forgetting to check if they are even into guys. He wags his tail whenever he meets another demon that he gets along with or has a crush on.

He can be extremely dramatic when he feels like it and is usually pretty emo, but he usually tries to match the vibes of whoever he happens to be hanging out with as best as he can. He would probably attempt to flirt with Muzan if he didn't fully realize who it was at first, but also be very embarrassed afterwards because while his flirting is respectful its usually pretty corny/cheesy (if he survived). When he disguises himself outside of sword form he looks very much like how he did when he was human; short black hair with red tips, almost undead pale, but still with the piercings and tattoos (excluding the kanji on his cheek) and he does carry a shirt around for these rare occasions. He strongly dislikes having his tail pulled by most people and will scratch anyone who attempts to do so unless they are a small child who wouldn't know better or is a person he knows he can trust (like a close friend or a future/boyfriend). He refuses to pick on children or anyone who likes their same gender (human or demon) for any reason and usually has strong disagreements with those who do (human or demon) so he's probably still atleast a little pissy with a majority of the people on either side of this whole war thing. What he doesn't remember is that in his human life he was the eldest sibling of ten children by about four years, his family was known for becoming ninjas but his siblings often got picked on by kids his age and occasionally adults because they were small and lanky which would be ideal for what they are known for but otherwise not much else as they had not yet started their training, so he often had to come to their rescue, but once his parents who were "traditional" found out about his "romantic preferences" disowned him, beat him up and kicked him out into the snow once his siblings were asleep where he was found by Muzan. If he could still remember anything about his siblings besides the fact they existed he would probably occasionally check in on his great nieces and great nephews wherever they ended up. Part of the reason that he would be considered a villain is because he goes into a feeding frenzy way easier than everyone else and is not picky about who he goes after aside from not crossing certain lines but he gets hangry if he goes without for to long. At one point he had a little sister named Yoshi but he doesn't know what happened to her, but he suspects she probably became a demon and is off running around somewhere.

Muzan has spotted him once since turning him but because he was busy he did not get a chance to speak with him and he has been kicking himself since that night because now Yukio is damn near impossible to find. If Yukio were to encounter slasher, he would most definitely cuss him out because something to know about Yukio is if there are two things he absolutely cannot stand its wastefulness and causing unnecessary pain to anyone innocent (unless he is "entertaining" someone), and Yukio actually makes sure that whoever he kills is actually dead and went as painlessly as he could control before he tears into them and wastes as little as possible before thanking them for their sacrifice. He as piercings in other less visible places as well because yes he is into some interesting things, and yes his torso's mouth's tongue is pierced too, he would probably have more outlandish piercings if he could get away with it. When he gets nervous/anxious, hungry or waiting to pounce he will hold his tail in his main-mouth and lightly chew on it. He considers himself a gentleman in comparison to most of the other demon guys out running around. He gets along with Akaza (best bros) and Enmu (who he has a huge crush on). Eventually he would get bored of playing hide and seek and joined the twelve kizuki (abracadabra-ing into the infinity palace outta nowhere like "i hear you have been looking for me?") as one of Akaza's "underlings", when this eventually happens he has a lot of fun just generally terrorizing Douma whenever he messes with Akaza. He is learning to run on all fours. In the alternate timeline where Kuroko becomes one of the twelve kizuki, she interacts with Yukio on a regular basis and mom's the heck outta him, in this altered timeline she gets him to "abandon ship" with her but in the normal timeline as soon as Akaza and Enmu are gone He's like "byeeee" and nope's out by playing dead. Since starting working with Akaza he does his best not to attack girls/women and honing his ninja skills to get as good as they are going to get.

He has a couple of interesting habits that he has had since he was human; he tends to smile kind of like how cats "smile", with his teeth hidden and his eyes either closed or mostly closed when he's calm but when he's stressed or excited his teeth are showing and his eyes are open and when he's either under any kind of stress, experiencing any kind of excitement or both he tends to do the thing that hyenas do and make a noise similar to a giggle/laugh but isn't actually one and while it is usually pretty quiet it tends to get louder when he's hungry. When he was human and any of the gang members that lived in his town heard that giggle they knew they were most likely fucked, and it earned him a few nicknames but he can't really remember any of them. Although he has gotten better at suppressing it when he is around his fellow demons and people he has a crush on so he doesn't scare them or freak them out. In his belt pockets he has a lot of smaller ninja weapons that while he doesn't really use as much he does like to play with and does occasionally get some use out of them. But now that he's a demon once people hear that giggle its pretty much to late for them unless they have either very fast reflexes or very good hearing because by the time most people hear it they are within pouncing distance and he either pounces on them before they can get away or they bolt as soon as they hear it and make him chase them which as anyone who actually knows about demons will tell you is pretty much pointless because unless you are in the demon slayer core it is not possible to out-run a demon. Part of the reason why he holds his tail in his mouth is because it helps stop the hyena-giggles because it helps keep him calm. While with most people he makes sure he makes their deaths as painless as possible, with homophobes and criminals he shows them no mercy whatsoever (no not even the mercy of a pre-feast death). The best way to avoid getting caught by him is by only running when he goes to pounce, if you run before hand this will active the prey drive and make him chase you.

He remembers that he had a family with nine younger siblings, and small parts of his siblings personalities but not much else other than when they were all still a family his parents taught them "if you are unarmed and you get snuck up on your teeth and nails are your first defense", and his siblings being siblings liked to sneak up on and tackle pounce each-other so his younger siblings regularly bit and scratched each-other and he often got either bit or scratched on accident when he accidentally snuck up on them. But being the eldest sibling he never got into the accidental habit as there wasn't really anyone to sneak up on him before he learned to detect when people were behind him. On occasion he will find kids with personality traits that remind him of his siblings and it will make him tear up a bit since he figures that everyone in his family is most likely dead (even though he didn't kill them). He mainly prefers hunting down people who hurt others for no good reason: rapists, kidnappers, pedophiles, and those who murder and steal for no other reason than just because they can (he doesn't count those which were accidental). He is actually a real sweetheart he just gets grumpy and vicious when he's hungry. He can smell the difference between an innocent person and a criminal and the difference between a straight person and part of the "alphabet mafia" and will leave them be (so if for example yukio had popped up and decided to be a lil menace while gyomei was in jail he would have sniffed out that he was innocent and let him be). Being raised in a young ninja clan (like third generation of his clan) he went through a majority of the same stuff as tengen but in a different order, learning how to sneak and be a stealthy person and fighter before starting his poison immunity training. Going back to people he'd probably beat up if he had gotten the chance to encounter them; the snake demon from obanai's childhood, Yukio would have beat his ass, pulling some hulk vs loki bs: pickin the bastard up by the tail and swingin her back and forth into the ground and then swingin her around in a circle before finally givin her the scottish hammer throw treatment and yeeting him through several walls, calling her lazy and pathetic and finally telling her to go hunt some adults like a real predator (everyone who knows obanai's backstory y'all can guess why given that my boy yukio is fond of and will protect kids). The reason he's nicknamed "Corpse Eater" has multiple reasons, the majority of his victims being dead before he eats being one of them, and the other is that he will take advantage of almost anything left behind by other demons (as previously stated he is mostly not a picky eater). Ironically despite his strength and more accidental hunting habits he is considered more of a nuisance than an actual concern by himself but when being wielded, depending on who it is wielding him he is very dangerous. His final mutation gave him bat-like wings, which he later got bird-like wings tattooed onto (like stereotypical demon wings but with stereotypical angel wings tattooed on). Ever since meeting Tsuki and becoming her friend he has tried his absolute hardest to only prey on "bad people" but he obviously struggles and sometimes cannot control himself. Oddly coffee is the only human food (well technically drink) that doesn't make him ill. So Yukio is more likely to protect kids above ANYONE else, everyone else is kind of a toss up with straight/cis men being the least likely for him to protect. Yukio was eventually adopted by lady usagi and he very quickly took on the protective older brother role for Tsuki, he even occasionally lets her practice using a katana with him as the katana. While he does mess with Douma more frequently (occasionally stealing or hiding his hat and/or fans he also finds him more fun to brawl with) they both understand that hes just goofing around, he's more ruthless and harsh when it comes to messing with Hantengu and especially Gyokko (constantly either hides, breaks or defaces his pots and art supplies).

If he gets into a fight with another demon that is only a little weaker than he is, he will purposefully drag it out as long as he can until he either gets bored or gets hungry, if they are a lot weaker than him he will just scare them off or kick them in the crotch and launch them as high and far as he can unless they are also a lot younger than him and then he will just pick them up by the scruff, lightly scold them for trying to pick a fight with someone stronger than them and then shoo them away. Returning briefly to his hunting habits and his prey of choice, he especially prefers hunting down pedo's, rapists and child killers and likes "being the bogeyman that haunts their worst nightmares" and as such he is far more merciless with them than any other human he preys on, even the other criminals. He has a "Oh hes cute asf but unfortunately he doesn't seem to be gay" crush on Gyutaro and while tempted to flirt with him restrains himself as he gets the feeling Gyutaro likes girls. If that were not the case he would definitely be flirting his head off but instead he's just bein a bro. He will jokingly refer to hantengu as "Mouse" or "Mousey" , however given his more feline-like behavior and tendencies this is more of a threat than any sort of endearment. Part of the reason why he got the bird/angel wing tattoo's on his own wings is because Tsuki, Kimi and Rin noticed that from behind his horns for a halo.

His Territory: He technically doesn't have his own territory, he wanders all the time really only staying in one place for a week at the longest. When hes not at the infinity castle hes usually either hanging out with Akaza or off doing his own thing. Although he does have favored areas to hunt, he also doesn't stay long due to him preferring to hunt at the local prisons (especially death row) and not wanting to run out.

His Inner World: his inner would look a lot like rengoku's but instead of walls of fire its walls of swords with a black and red checkered floor instead of black and white with his soul-core at the center. If anyone goes near it they will have swords flying at them from all angles as in his heart he knows he would rather self-destruct than get taken out by anyone else.

His Abilities: (excluding the abilities that most if not all demons have especially those of a similar power level)

Blood Demon Art; Sword Form One/Two/Three: This allows him to turn into a katana that (if he so chooses) to whoever happens to pick him up and everyone else in their party looks like your average nitchirin sword (or matches the one the slayer has on them), but once in a fight (or if he decides not to disguise himself) to everyone he looks like a wide bladed katana with a gold hilt and guard with the guard resembling an open mouth with sharp teeth with the kanji for "Hunger" engraved into the habaki and a sharp toothed design on the blade itself, as well as a black and gold sheath. In form two it takes on a more cleaver like appearance to make room for the eye that appears on the blade. Form three is even wider and the blade can part down the middle like a mouth. In all three forms the blade is cold as ice, and both the eye and the kanji glow red in the dark. He can also do partial transformations (like the weapons in the anime soul eater) however hes still learning to control this part

Blood Demon Art; Rending Bite: when in forms 1 and 2 this will immediately completely sever any flesh the blade comes into contact with, in form three the blade opens like a mouth and will chomp down on whatever it can, severing it. Outside of his sword form it works for either one of his mouths but he tries his best to only have to use it once per kill and usually its his main mouth biting the head off at the neck.

Blood Demon Art; Devil's Glare: as if they intimidating aura of a powerful demon wasn't enough, this is a mostly passive ability that activates when anyone looks into either the eye on his forehead or the eye on the blade, and causes whoever looked into the eye to be paralyzed with fear. Works on most people but there are a few it doesn't work on, he usually admires these people after discovering this.

Blood Demon Art; Psychic Bond: this ability is what allows him to get whoever picks him up to do what he wants, he puts the thoughts into their heads and only those of a strong mind can resist giving in, this also causes them to resist just abandoning the "sword" on the side of the road. This also makes whoever picks it up confused as to why people might be telling them to get rid of it. When in sword-form he can communicate with his carrier/wielder via telepathy

Blood Demon Art; Frenzy: this heightens his senses even more than usual and allows him to pinpoint the exact location of the nearest potential victim. This activates automatically after going about 12 hours without anything in his system. He can smell a fresh body or an injured human a mile away and a living, uninjured human about half a mile away

Blood Demon Art; Camouflage: this ability hides the sword of whoever picks him up until he takes off, at which point they will find their normal sword. This remains active in everyones vision until he gets into a fight or goes into hunting mode. Or if he is in a weak enough state he will simply temporarily possess their swords until it is safe for him to get away the only way to get him to stop possessing their weapons is to put it down and walk away until he comes out.

Running and walking on all fours: he can and will walk and run on all fours much like a hyena if-ever/when-ever he chooses

Wall climbing: being a ninja he had to learn to climb walls and since becoming a demon and having strong claws that allow him to better grip more surfaces he can climb pretty much anything that isn't slick or slimey

Flight: with his large bat-like wings he can fly as long as he likes until the sun rises, he also uses them to dive bomb his prey like a bat dive-bombs a hapless grasshopper.

Tail-dangle: he can use his tail to wrap around objects that are big enough to hold his weight but small enough to wrap all the way around and dangle himself upside down from them. He thinks peoples reactions to seeing him seemingly drop down of them out of nowhere is hilarious.

Note

Also, I know it doesn't even really make any sense, possibly, but how do you feel about the headcanon that Katsuki's good at singing? It's kinda more a guilty pleasure headcanon, as far as I can tell, considering there's not much of a base like there would be with Jirou, but. Y'know. For those singers out there wantin' to project, I guess. And I just wanted your thoughts on it, so...?

!!!!

Okay, so this exact thing came up in the discord a little while ago, and it’s a headcanon based 100% around the fact that I love the song Fire on Fire and I think it’s a great todobaku song.

So! Katsuki, Izuku and Shouto are all interning together with Endeavor and Hawks is hanging around because he does that. They were on a mission that was supposed to be easy, but turned out to be a trap. The villains lured Shouto off and hit him with something akin to the trigger drug, basically it makes his quirk/him go nuts and super ramps up his power levels.

That causes him to create a giant fire and ice storm, with his quirk lashing out at anyone that tries to get close, and with his range constantly increasing. A bunch of other heroes + a lot of their classmates are called in to help evacuate people and try to help but nothing seems to be working.

Izuku reverts to his default Quirk Nerd state and discovers that there’s a weird conditional to the drug Shouto’s under, the person trapped in it can still kinda hear people outside and previous heroes facing the villain have had success with song in particular breaking the person out of the quirk’s effect. A suitable soothing/emotional song can lull the raging emotions of the effected person and draw them out of the panicked state long enough for them to regain control of themselves.

Since he figures it’s worth a shot tries to sing, but he’s quiet and awkward about it and also he can’t sing, so it doesn’t work at all. Several of his classmates are nearby and they quickly debate on what the issue is and make an incorrect assumption based on too many movies that it has to be ‘true love’s song’. The collected students all agree that the best person for the job is obviously Momo because they’re dumb and think Momo has a crush on Shouto (she doesn’t, she’s a lesbian), and so they’re trying to track Momo down on the battle field while the Shouto’s fire and ice is raging around them, and things keep getting in their way, and it’s to the point where people might die.

But then Katsuki finds Momo, and Izuku radios over to Katsuki trying to relay that they need Momo to sing a love song to beat the quirk. Only, the radio is cutting out, so all Katsuki hears is that someone needs to sing a love song to free Shouto, and that’s really fucking weird, but what the hell, he’s willing to try anything at this point since people’s lives are at stake.

Throwing aside any sense of embarrassment, Katsuki just grabs his phone and goes for the first instrumental that he has that’s a love song and which is somewhat fitting, Fire on Fire.

And then he sings and by god, can he sing. Katsuki has an amazing singing voice when he’s trying, like, it’s partially the music classes he took when he was young, partially just his voice being naturally good, and partially because when he was younger he loved to sing along with the birds when he was hiking (something he still does when he’s alone). He isn’t quiet about it either, this boy has some fucking projection and he commits to this with 110% intensity, just like everything else he does

Unlike Izuku, the effect is immediate, with Shouto’s fire/ice storm near stilling. Katsuki walks forward while singing, and as the song goes on, it’s clearly extremely effective. The fire/ice basically abandons it’s ‘battle’ with everyone else to follow Katsuki’s voice and clears a path for him to reach Shouto, shrinking/calming as he gets closer.

Now, obviously, both Endeavor and Hawks + some other pro-heroes are around, and none them have even 1 clue what the fuck is going on.

1 minute they’re struggling for their lives, the next minute, Katsuki, known hell child, is singing amazingly with an oddly calm expression on his face, walking slowly towards the center of the fire/ice storm and taming the raging quirk effects as he goes. But like?? It’s working??

Towards the end of the song, Katsuki reaches the center, the fire and ice pulling back into Shouto’s body. He was suspended by the ice/fire at like 20 ft up, so when the drug’s effect’s subside, he falls and Katsuki catches him at the end of the song, singing the last lyrics and letting the music fade as Shouto blinks awake to see the last of it.

Shouto is exhausted and he has 0 (zero) idea what the hell is going on, because he wakes up to Katsuki holding him and crooning out a gorgeous love song. Later on, he’ll actually be able to remember more of the song and Katsuki’s progress towards him, reaching out to help him, but in the moment that’s all he sees.

His left side catches on fire as his entire face goes red and Katsuki drops him (quite literally like he was burned).

Thankfully, neither of them are hurt, but Katsuki is just super done with everything so he rounds on Izuku and his group and yells at the lot of them for not saying that that was an option sooner because they could’ve resolved this ages ago. Totally back to being an Angry Hell Child. Everyone else is just stunned and trying to figure out if what they saw actually just happened or it was a collective hallucination.

Shouto is still smoldering on the ground, wide eyed and in some state of shock. Hawks is the first one to react and swoops over to grab him and get him to medical. He’s trying to be good about the situation, but he can’t help but ask Shouto if he and Katsuki are a thing, Shouto says they’re not.Hawks pauses for several long seconds and then asks Shouto if he wishes they were. Shouto looks him dead in the eye and says,

“I have never in my life considered my sexuality, romantic options, or that Katsuki would play any part in those considerations until 3 minutes ago, and yet somehow, I think the answer to that question might be yes.“

He passes out a few minutes afterwards, but when he wakes up he’s in a hospital and there’s a replay of the attack on TV and he gets to watch the whole song from an outside perspective and just how pretty and romantic Katsuki looked, fire and ice swirling around him possessively as he walks forward without a trace of hesitation or fear, also, fuck, Katsuki is good at singing and Shouto can’t get over how good he sounds particularly with the knowledge that Katsuki is singing for him.

His classmates visit him in the hospital as he’s waiting for the okay to leave, and everyone kinda awkwardly dodges around the obvious elephant in the room, until someone finally cracks and asks "Hey do you think if I went and ”“accidentally”“ got myself hit by the quirk Katsuki would-” and Shouto gets really growly/jealous with them even though they were definitely 100% joking maybe kinda.

Katsuki also gets interviewed by the media after this, they obviously ask if he and Shouto are a couple and Katsuki says they absolutely aren’t and explains it was just a dumb requirement to undo the quirk effect (and that he was “the only one of these fuckers that could sing worth a damn”). The reporter understands and then tries to make a joke about how awkward it must’ve been for Katsuki to sing a love song to a male classmate. Katsuki shuts that right the hell down and outs himself as gay with no fucks given, totally stunning the interviewer and throwing the media into a secondary frenzy.

Katsuki really doesn’t care though, and he’s so confident and firm about it that it ends up with everyone just kinda,,,,, moves on because there’s nothing else to be done. So then things go back to kinda normal, except Shotuo is a pining mess towards Katsuki, and Katsuki is completely oblivious to Shouto being a pining mess for him.
