#Always I Dreamed verse

[secret-engima]

Now that I’m getting back into RWBY a little bit I think back on the OC Ozcarnation I put between Ozymandias (the King of Vale) and Ozpin and laugh because he is very much the closest thing to a villain arc any of the Ozcarnations ever got.

Like it’s not entirely his fault considering the backstory I gave him but Osamu is the definition of that “aren’t you tired of being nice?” meme.

King of Vale landing in this feral adult’s head like “um ... hello?”

Osamu: *feral vibes intensify*

Ozpin on the flip side course corrects very hard the other way once Osamu crash-lands in his head and becomes the definition of Cheerful Malicious Compliance. So polite, so friendly, so skilled at finding and exploiting loopholes that he could probably make lawyers cry.

This isn’t to say Osamu isn’t kind, since he is still a likeminded soul, but kindness can take different forms and Osamu’s leaned very hard into the “this is for your own good” territory.

Which is, perhaps, one of the reasons in my aus why Ozpin insists on hearing verbal consent, even in situations like v3 with Pyrrha in the vault. Because he knows what it’s like to have silence taken for consent when it’s not. Because he knows that just because something is necessary doesn’t mean it should be forced onto the person who is going to spend the rest of their life dealing with the aftermath.

Fr I spend so much time thinking about my muses and their survival verses that I forget they died in canon...

#i . ooc . #It's the same with my Marco blog. I talk and think so much about his survival verse that it's sort of... become the canon in my head... #Every time I watch Marco or Bertolt's death. Sure. It hits a nerve... and then two mintues later it's almost like it's a fan made thing. #A fever dream... my brain just cannot comprehend it. It's like. Ok ignoring this. #I've always written characters that are killed off. When I actually write one that's alive it's like. What am I doing. #Are you really rping a dead character if you don't just ignore their death though... Survival verses are so fun. #I am so happy they have come further in recent times because trust me. Being in the early SNK rpc. and EVERY time you posted about ur muses #birthday or a survival idea you got greeted w. 'But they're dead'. Not in my household sry

@prettydead - Wonka has crossed paths with Violet Baudelaire!

"Forgive me for being nosy, but are you all right?" The manner in which the young woman was idly wandering the alleyway had drawn his attention. He'd nearly hurried on past her and yet there was something that made him pause, double back, and come to stand before her.

"You look like someone who has many troubles knock knock knocking about your head. Is there anything I can help with?" Or maybe he was being a bother and disturbing her peace. That had happened more times than he'd like to acknowledge but it was the consequence of being so attuned to those around him, always willing to lend a hand even when it turned out to be unnecessary.

"This area isn't too pleasant, I'm afraid." A slight wrinkle of his nose as he caught sight of Scrubbit's in the distance, great plumes of smoke rising from the chimney — his indentured friends were still hard at work. His heart panged for them. "Not a place I'd recommend dilly and dallying in."

being a jean fan is 50% wanting jean to be the commander but 50% also understanding why he isn't/what that role would do to him after a long period of time.

#out of. #commander jean will always be one of my favourite verses ... ily armin but it was deserved #ngl jeans actions in choosing to go back on everything was probably hanges reasons but a mun can dream ... #this post was brought to you by the reminder that I have not done a verses page yet ... that is coming up soon #I have some time off for the rest of this week now so I'll also be doing some writing too ... I hope.🩷 #I'll write a hc on this later when my thoughts are more cohesive

#sims #ts3 #sims 3 #photoshoots #character verse #eden astra-fletcher #she's just such a good egg #fun fact when taylor wasn't existing in the verse eden was briefly emmelie's girlfriend due to a dream I had once about them #I've done some fancy ass photoshoots with them #they looked nice together but... ah #in the end I guess they're like from two different worlds and it wouldn't last #and when I brought back taylor and started redeveloping her I eventually realised she and em have always been the one for each other #(literally. taylor swift's song the 1 reminds me of them) #so I had to discard edelie with a heavy heart and they don't even exist as exes anymore as it would be awks if em dated tay's cousin before #but yeah good memories. maybe in one of the parallel verses it still happens. who knows #but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna put eden back with april #they could have a nice friends to lovers arc #and april would fit perfectly into the freya stuff that I'm trying to figure out right now #in the previous version of the verse they were all friends actually and had elemental powers but that's a story for another time #note to myself: make a ts3 post with april I have her pics lying somewhere

HEADCANON. Thinking about Sam getting ( or heck, even making ) people stuffed animals, especially of animals that remind her of them. But before she gives it away, she holds each one in her hands and speaks of all the hopes and dreams she has for the person—-things that she can't ever bring herself to say to their face. Especially so if the person she's gifting it to doesn't quite have a 'happy end'.

She knows it's pointless. She knows filling a plushie with wishes won't actually do anything to stop fate, much less make all those wishes come true.

But knowing how powerless she is to do anything, how little she can actually do?

Let her pretend her actions mean something, won't you?

I guess???? #anyways it is early and I hope I'm making some sort of sense akhdlsahkahd

snowblood is outright the metalcore song of all time I don't know what it is about that song specifically but it has everything

#only thing i want from it is a bass playthrough lol #the guitar playthrough lives rent free in my head and on my phone but i need the bass and also the drums ones #but yeah. the intro starting out ominous then the rest of the instruments coming in then the verse riff of all time #and jt starting the verse with 'blood starved machine in a feeding frenzy' then jesse with the clean chorus #then finishing the chrous and going back to playing the verse riff effortlessly live (its a hard riff he said it is himself) #and the tremolo riff and mini breakdown before second chorus which leads straight into a classic jesse cash guitar solo #then the bridge/buildup part with the buried distant cleans then the 'sleepless nights hearing voices... the dead are not dreaming- #-can't you hear them screaming?' and breakdown! then breakdown intensifies! the energy on stage is at its peak! and it ends. just like that. #but like. the screaming? brutal. the cleans? on point. the guitars? impossible as always. the bass? felt deep in the bones. #the drums? written better and better. the lyrics? metal as fuck. the ambience? suitably ominous. the band as a whole? immaculate. #its not even their best song or my favourite but it is metalcore song of all time and erra song of the moment #erra #metalcore #i am incredibly normal about their music as you can probably tell (i want jesse cash to teach me guitar)

[yiangchen]

rio’s mic has the potential to be the only mic that works post rei takeover being a prototype mic, and harmonious cooperation showed us that anybody can share a mic, via shakku kicking kuukou’s ass with hitoya’s, so it’d be neat to see that be a thing again i think!!!!

#this is vee speaking #quick!!!!! chuuoku infiltration mission with mtc and maybe the rest of rio’s old team to save his commander!!!!! #and mtc passes the mic around lol!!!!!! #does rio’s squad all have prototypes??? 🤔🤔🤔 like could they potentially be given to 17 (16) other people lmao #i think it would be really cool if rei took root in chuuoku just to make the mics stay off #and to nurse his wife back to health lol #like i know that 0️⃣💉📿 event from arb had rei coming to kuukou for help but sensei has literally ALWAYS been in rei’s plans #*slaps rei’s comedian teacher doctor lawyer verse in ah osaka dreaming night* #rei just casually bargains for jakurai’s time lol MAN I WANNA KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IM SO EXCITED #c: rio

5. Marriage Verse

(Re:part two of my list of fic ideas I’ll never get to)

It’s been done before, but never by me so here we go.

You guessed it, post black org and antidote, my queen gains a lot of haters. So to protect her, what better way then getting with the savior of Japan?

• basically to help prove Shiho isn’t evil and was a victim in all of this, the Kudos vouch for her. To the extreme. My ship is getting married y’all!

• now did they really have to go this far? Probably not, but why do they do it? Well because Yukiko is extra as fuck and also, Shinichi is in love with Shiho so this is a win win for him

• he keeps claiming it’s for the greater good and he’s doing this cause he wants to protect her. Which kinda true, but the real reason is because this is how he keeps her forever

• typical of my queen wanting to leave and move on, cause she thinks of the canon ship (who are very broken up in this verse though feelings linger…) and of course Shinichi has abandonment issues so he’s not for her leaving

• besides she’s still low key treated like a criminal so it’s not she can leave anyhow. So operation help Shiho gain a good reputation is a go! So off to the chapel my ship goes!

• similar to how my green card au went, he’s obviously already in it while my queen is in denial. She thinks once this blows over they’ll get divorced and he can be with his ex. Which is not at all where he thinks this is going

• I know it seems like I hate marriage cause of my fics, but I’m of the belief that it should be forever. (That being said I know it doesn’t always work that way, hence why I never really write about it in my fics and why Shiho is a cynic when it comes to marriage) which is how he sees it, so he isn’t just being rash when he suggests getting married

— side note, I do actually have a divergence of this verse in which Shinichi’s plan of them getting married doesn’t happen cause he was in a coma, so instead to save Shiho’s reputation the Kudos adopt her. Which makes things very messy cause now Shinichi can’t just get what he wants and make her his wife. This version is kinda messed up though cause I envision Shiho moving on and loving the fact that the Kudos have been so kind to her and accept her as their own, meanwhile Shinichi is not taking it well. I’m sure no one will know what I’m talking about but there was a Taiwanese drama I watched called Devil Beside You a long time ago and that’s the vibe of this fic. Basically they’re siblings but not biologically and they still end up together. Except Shinichi is way diabolical in this verse cause he’s completely lost it. Also Shigo is a thing and again Shinichi is insane. It’s low key heartbreaking for Shiho and such a toxic relationship, but some days I can’t stop thinking about it

• basically I just wanted an excuse to write a short fic where they can be all cutesy and he can properly woo her. I feel like I had more of this verse planned but the alternate version completely took over and I’ve lost the plot. But I know a lot of it was him being like the That’s my wife! guy. So over how he’s the one everyone is obsessed with, give me a Shinichi who knows how lucky he is to be married to my queen

• there’s definitely drama with the canon ship cause listen, if my boyfriend of like idk a month who I’ve always thought was mutually into me since we were kids all of a sudden breaks up with me over the phone then goes radio silent then shows up with a whole ass fiancée a year later? Best believe someone’s going to catch these hands cause what!??

• also this is probably unpopular but I love how much Sonoko stans Ran and is on her side, these besties are definitely scheming to break shinshi up. At first they’re like it’s not real, he’s not really gonna marry her. But then they do get married and they’re like what!?! So then it’s operation show him what he’s missing and remind him how great Ran is which leads to a shinshi divorce and all is right in the world! (Though Ran low key has mix feelings about this cause if he really did love her why would this even happen? She still trusts him and he always tells her he can explain but this time he doesn’t so she’s doesn’t know what to think)

• meanwhile Shiho sees through their ploy but also doesn’t think the marriage is real so she’s just like okay yeah, go for it, steal my man cause he’s not actually my man. Which is just for my benefit cause I have a thing for him trying extra hard to prove they’re real

• also since this is my verse, they do consummate the marriage on their wedding night. I know it’s a thing that every drama does where they don’t until they’re like actually in love and on the same page, but I actually kinda hate that (even though I low key did that in the green card verse too…) (which is weird cause I’m ace but I’m also just like get it over with already! Plus I think it makes the dynamic more interesting cause people are weird after the relationship becomes sexual too, but maybe it’s just cause I’m a Vegas gal) plus you’ll notice a theme in my belief that Shinichi thinks sex=love while Shiho thinks it’s just fucking

• also would love a recurring thing where Shinichi loudly proclaims to just about anyone that Shiho is his wife, so hands off! Like that’s his woman and he’s gonna protect her damn it!

• idk if they’ll have kids, but it will be discussed (again my bias in thinking he absolutely wants to knock her up cause he low key has a breeding kink) of course Shiho is overruled in this, cause what better way to prove they’re real then by having kids! A win for the Kudos! But Shiho is like um no! That’s way too much! Having kids complicates things! I’m doing this to have freedom, how is having a child going to set me free? That’s another shackle! Besides, even if she leaves her kid behind which she would never, it’ll be harder for Shinichi in the long run as a single father to remarry. Again queen is still waiting for the rouse to be over

• obviously it ends with them living happily ever after cause it’s my fic, and again like the green card au I hate the whole they get divorced then get married again for real thing, it’s such a waste of time imo and so much paperwork. Like I get why it’s a thing, but I still think it’s dumb. So they stay married the whole time and that’s that

• this is the verse that I’ve been dreaming of lately and keep adding details in my head. Like the beginnings of it, when Shinichi is trying to justify a kiss and taking her out on dates and she’s conflicted.

#cynply dreaming out loud #shinshi #CoAi #I swear I can’t just write a normal fic where they’re cute and married. there’s always drama #but the alternate version sometimes really runs my mind #I hate hate hate the notp but in the alternatate version of this verse I can’t help comparing them #again this is not for the canon ship which I kinda feel bad about cause her feelings are so valid #also again for the record the canon ship and my notp are two separate ships but I loathe them both

@writtenxbeginnings said "sleep fixes a lot of stuff. it's like emptying garbage cans in your brain." (from Chuck)

If someone were to have told Sarah how the Burbank relocation would turn out, she wouldn't have believed them. She wouldn't believe that she'd still be here, and she wouldn't believe that she's moved in with the asset. Especially since it goes beyond her cover. It's because she loves him. She never would've believed that she let things get so messy after Bryce.

But there are some things that make perfect sense. Like the fact that she really hasn't slept for the better part of a week. She can't help it, okay? Sarah's been doing this a long time, and she's had her fair share of brushes with death. But Shaw poisoned her in Paris. He nearly killed her. She would've died that day if it weren't for Chuck. And she doesn't really know how to process that. So she doesn't.

And she doesn't handle her nightmares well. She doesn't handle the fact that she can't get Shaw's face out of her head when she closes her eyes. And nothing helps. Not even the small comforts that she knows better than to take for granted. Not even Chuck's arms around her help to make her feel safe. To make her not wake up with the slightest gasp of breath.

She's taken to sneaking out of their bed, putting on a pot of coffee and pulling out her laptop. She pours over new case files in the early hours of the morning when it's still pitch black outside. She's been awake to see the sunrise most days this week.

And she knows she can't sustain this. She'll crash eventually. She'll be thrown off her game and she'll be useless to Chuck and Casey in the field. But she also can't trick herself out of this. The only way forward is to address it, but she doesn't want to have to go through with the admission that this might actually be out of her control.

She doesn't count on being caught, though. She's managed to make it back into their room in the morning. Fresh from the shower and getting ready for work when Chuck's alarm goes off. But maybe she's been too perfect and too routine that it's started to be a little off putting. Maybe that's why Chuck's in the kitchen with her at three o'clock in the morning as she types away at the laptop. Offering some kind of wisdom that she's aware of. She knows sleep helps, sleep would be so great. It'd be welcome. If only she could guarantee it wouldn't end with her waking up screaming. If she knew she wouldn't have to see Daniel Shaw in her dreams.

"That's very helpful, Chuck." She says, her voice slightly clipped and sarcastic as she doesn't even glance in his direction. It'll really be game over if he gets a good glance at the dark, deep bags under her eyes. "Thanks for giving me the memo."
