#Bear you are literally the coolest person alive
Note
Talk about your moots; what do you like most about them (could be a paragraph or a single sentence, spread the love!!)
p sure i did this just a few days ago but everyone knows i adore my moots so i dont mind doing it again :)
it’s kinda long! (took me a literal hour and a half to write) and i tried to get everyone i talk to on a tri-weekly basis at least 😅
@ncteez i know you said to pick what i like most abt my moots, but i love everything about hon from the way she looks (she’s literally the most gorgeous person ever— she still owes me a selfie now that im thinking abt it) right down to her core. 🥹 the only mark stan who has ever walked the planet actually,,, i love hearing about her sex dreams and i love the way that she gives the best advice bc she only wants the best for me and how genuine she is. I LOVE HER & she makes me a better person every day, seriously ⭐️ i <3 my wife
@jeonghantis 🩵 there are about a million and three things that i can write for keir but i think the thing i love most about them is that… i can just be sar with them, i never have to worry about being judged for the things i like bc 9 times out of 10, keir feels the same way. like who else am i gonna talk about [redacted] with chan with ??? or [ censored beeping for 10 minutes straight ] with sangyeon ?? my jeonghannie, my bff, my ride or die <3 (they also hate everyone that i hate and watch my instagram lives even tho im super annoying which means i am going to die for them)
@onlyseokmins literally just love elv’s personality. she has this infectious positivity and it makes me so happy to be alive like dhahdh,,, every time i see her on the dash reblogging the silliest things or cute pics or even talking to other people, it makes me smile so hard like idk she’s so bright PLUS she’s resident dk lover on tumblr like there is no one else. tumblr user onlyseokmins is quite literally the only dk stan alive
@lovelyhan ok two things i love the most — one: kai’s writing will always get me out of a reading slump. i re-read their fics an ungodly amount of times, like i actually need to be blocked by them ( i definitely didn’t re-read inflection point again TODAY on my lunch break, nope! i didn’t! 😂……) TWO: kai is literally so sweet and funny and we don’t really talk much, but from what i know, they’re a really great person and anyone would be lucky to have them as a moot! ^^
@agustdiv1ne ash and i are actually moving to alaska and we’re gonna be neighbors /srs,,, srsly tho, i told her this already, but she’s an amazing listener and she puts up with my shitty texting and i seriously cant appreciate that more 😢 she’s so wonderful and lovely and my favorite yoongi stan to ever exist and i will shield her from the heat. don’t worry, ash, 𝖎 𝖜𝖎𝖑𝖑 𝖕𝖗𝖔𝖙𝖊𝖈𝖙 𝖞𝖔𝖚.
@soonigiri MELODY <333 the soonyoung to my cheol!! she’s also someone i enjoy seeing on my dash sm!! she’s literally an angel and it’s so endearing to see her in her engene era. like i look forward to seeing jungwon on my dash every day /srs — OKAY ACTUALLY, ik im an awkward freak but i would love to talk to you more bc i think we have a lot in common T-T
@etherealyoungk SKYE i know we interact like every 3 weeks but each of them do really mean a lot to me <33 i think she’s really kind-hearted and i get really happy when i see her jn my inbox from time to time!! it’s like a nice little surprise which i love 🥹💝 it’s like finding a rice krispie at the bottom of my lunch box (if you don’t know the feeling, think immense joy)
@rubyreduji JJ THE COOLEST GUY EVER. he’s such a joy to talk to and i love that he’s lowkey my hypeman. every time i run a concept or idea by him, he makes me feel really good about it and i adore that. he’s so supportive i love him and i need to hug him so bad actually 🥹 (i give good bear hugs jj, pls let me hug u) also jj doesnt care that im a weirdo awkward freak and i have to commend him for that too ☺️
@toruro mikalicious always know what to say which is what i love the absolute most abt them now. when im in a shit mood, she knows exactly how to make me feel better and always helps me take my mind off of it. she’s so cute and wonderful inside and out and i really am so eternally grateful to have her as a mutual and a friend <33 also, mika, this is my formal apology for being the world’s worst texter 😅
@gyuswhore EM THE COOLEST PERSON EVER. i love her so much actually. she and i just started talking and i have to say, she is just so,,,, amazing? idk, i dont have the words for it. she was so kind to me when reading my wonu fic and she just read over my new cheol wip and she has given me such great feedback and im so appreciative of her!! + sending pics is lowkey my love language and she lets me send her the most random shit (my pc collection, my room, etc.) i love her 💝
@hwanghyunjinenthusiast MY FAV JOKSTER dbehdh talking to rj is seriously a breath of fresh air lol I LOVE her humor and she understands my humor. ALSO….. something about rj’s writing also does something to me… like i remember i was super depressed while i had strep and on a brief tumblr hiatus and i came onto the app for just a second and saw that she’d posted … mean dom!chan… i remember reading it and crying bc she GETS IT. no one gets me like rj (i forgot to rb now that im thinking abt it but im gonna get on that) my fave dinonara <3
@heesbaby TUMBLR USER HEESBABY SINGLE HANDEDLY GOT ME BACK INTO ENHYPEN. i never thought id see the day, but bc of her smau’s and writing, i’m back in my engene era… i love how much of an angel cinna is like,,, we talk every once in awhile but she makes me the happiest girl ever when she replies to my asks or i find her in my inbox. i’ll actually fight jay for cinna
@hyuk4ngel RESIDENT MINGYU STAN,, fay has been here with me since what feels like the fucking beginning and i seriously can’t thank her enough. she’s really encouraging and amazing and she has the best ideas ever. i swear half of my writing discography is thanks to her (just my mingyu fics which is lowekey half my writing discography begsgs) she also is always checking in and i just love her for that and many other things 🥹
@baeksbyunny / @baekhyunnybyun (you’ll have to remind me which acct im supposed to tag) BEX MY BELOVED!!! THE LOVE I HAVE FOR HER IS SERIOUSLY INDESCRIBABLE!!! she’s the nicest person to me. like i’ll never forget when i was anxious before my txt concert and she was so reassuring like i felt a weight lift off my shoulders. INSTANT (sar)otonin boost every time we talk, idk what it is. probably the fact that she has the most comforting presence. i love her, you honor. i rest my case.
@majestyjun mills was like the first moot i’d ever talked to,,, but i remember i was so intimidated the first time we did bc millie is literally so fucking cool like,,, i have always thought this and when she said //I// was cool and i was genuinely so honored like…. idk >< ALSO HER WRITING IS SOHSHSBS OUT OF THIS WORLD … the concepts the description,,, she’s a genius!!!
@sunnylovespickles even tho we just became moots, i thought it was really sweet that she dropped off pics of pink!cheol for me 🥹 my day was really bad and that brightened it so much <33 i hope to have more interactions with her in the future bc she seems so nice!!

With all the bs talk I've heard going on about consent and the gc transfer, I gotta wonder why no one's talking about consent in regards to wwx literally being forced back to the world of the living after being dead for 13 years. 🤷
The answer is very simple anon, because Wei Wuxian brushes it off and just complains about being mistaken for a vengeful ghost when he was really peaceful and just doing his own thing, whereas Jiang Cheng throws himself a pity party.
JC stans tend to pick whichever answer supports the argument at the moment, ignoring such things as context, what Jiang Cheng himself actually says, that it makes their arguments really stupid to argue that Jiang Cheng can act however he wants because the society of his nebulously defined time would have accepted it, but Wei Wuxian and Wen Qing are beholden to modern concepts that they definitely should have known about, and pretty much anything else that doesn't fit their worldview. I have seen essays where in the same breath they demonize Wei Wuxian for sacrificing himself to help Jiang Cheng, and praise Jiang Cheng for sacrificing himself to help Wei Wuxian.
Come on, at least be consistent in your arguments! I get the desire to explore a character who is very relevant to the story, so many bad things wouldn't have happened if Jiang Cheng were a better person, that's not my problem. My problem is that they refuse to accept who he is in canon, so instead of exploring a what if, they insist on claiming it did happen and most recently using fanfiction to back it up while claiming that I and my friends lack reading comprehension. Fanfiction does not a source text make.
I pay attention to what the characters say and do. And I will say that Jiang Cheng is not without potential. But he has to make the effort himself, and in canon he doesn't. If Jiang Cheng were the person they claim he is, none of this would happen and we would not have the story of Modaozushi as we know it.
As for Wei Wuxian and the body giving without consent, since you did bring it up, I do tend to be not that bothered by it in the long run. It helps that Wei Wuxian adjusts fairly quickly and once he gets his bearings, is happy to be alive again. It was an unwanted body to begin with, but he tends to roll with what life throws at him and being alive again has its perks. Now he can commit donkey larceny and run around wild and just get to enjoy life again. And that's not even to mention all the other perks of being alive again. Like Lan Wangji.
It's not really the coolest thing that Mo Xuanyu just did that, but I don't think Wei Wuxian is really that bothered by it. It also helps that in comparison to what Jiang Cheng does with Wei Wuxian's golden core and how completely that goes against Wei Wuxian in every way, about the worst thing Wei Wuxian does to Mo Xuanyu's body is get stabbed once, which is really not his fault at all. He's taking pretty good care of the sacrifice given to him.
Thanks for the ask, anon! I hope you don't mind this dose of salt on a saturday because salt is what I have to give.
#mdzs#jiang cheng#canon jiang cheng#wei wuxian#mo xuanyu#half of the difference is that wei wuxian is a decent person#and the other half is that when you compare how they use the life given to them; wei wuxian is very nice to his new body#and the person that gave it to him#asks#anon#anon asks

Evak Fics - Pining
I’m posting half of this list first because I started it a long time ago and it’s taking me a while to go through all the fics. So I will update with more later.
*** Mutual Pining
*** Pining - I might put mutual pining under pining if we don't see much of the other person pining.
*** Bonus - The pining is not between Evak
For the anon from this ask.
I will try my best to separate out the mutual pining fics but I think it will be tricky if it's not tagged as that. So bear with me and let me know of any mistakes or fics I missed out on.
.
First Posting : 11 July 2021. Under 15k fics.
.
******* Mutual Pining *******
Even the Illustrator by eavk (SERIES, 3 fics) - An AU where Even’s an illustrator who draws what kids describe to him for YouTube, and Isak is the smitten father of a six year old with a wild imagination.
Postcards by HedwigsTalons (1k words) - Isak's wall is covered in postcards. Isak is supportive of Even's career and he cherishes every postcard but the long distance relationship hurts.
Feelings Come and Go, But Not With You by ultimatelawrence (1.9k words) - It was meant to just be a holiday romance. A fling. Nothing like love. But now it was six months later and Even was still pining over the angel he had met in Paris.
let's pretend into forever by Bellakitse (2.3k words) - “Let me get this straight,” Even starts. “You lied to your boss about having a boyfriend, told her it was me, and now you need me to go with you to your science nerd dinner?”
i will love you until the very, very end (and you were my best friend) by traumatic (2.4k words) - Isak and Even share something in the cool waters of a spring fed pool that no one, not even their fiancées, could ever understand.
Breathe Me by photographer_of_thoughts (4.5k words) - A high school reunion brings Isak and Even together after ten years, and neither of them can forget what happened when they were both seventeen.
Everything comes back to you by MermaidsandMermen (4.8k words) - Light pining. A dribble oneshot for Halloween, full of fluff and Even and Isak and a tiny pinch of angst. Because we need some Halloween fluff. That's all.
Fuck Tha Police by MacksDramaticShenanigans (5.2k words) - “This,” Eskild said, spinning the photograph around so everyone could see it, “is a picture of the latest piece of vandalism from our favorite little street punk.” he finished with a heavy sigh. They are both cops.
i tried to be strong but i lost it (i knew it was wrong, i’m beyond it) (6.3k words) - Even has a thing for his intern, Isak has a thing for his boss, they're both a bit clueless and their friends just want them to get their shit together.
all I see is you by littlemovie (Lejla) (7.4k words) - “Aren’t you gonna ask me why I’m a bad person?” Isak somehow whined and demanded at the same time. Jonas blew out a breath in amusement, which made the dark curls on his forehead move with his breath. “I’m guessing it has something to do with that guy, Even, from the coffeeshop?”
Addicted by endlessandinfinite (8k words) - They’re both completely, overwhelmingly, and incredibly...addicted. Best friends to lovers.
Calleth You, Cometh I by Kollakolan (8.4k words) - “Isak!” Mikaels pipes up. “Didn´t you two have a thing?” he turns to Even. A thing, Even thinks to himself. Yes, Isak and him definitely had a thing. They actually had a low-key thing going for years, but it never really turned into something more. The timing was never right.
In Vino Veritas by Sabeley (9.9k words) - After seven years apart, Isak wakes up to find Even in his bed and a wedding ring on his finger.
Let Me by GayaIsANerd (10.6k words) - Summer brings a lot of things. The smell of sunscreen. The sound of children playing in the shallow part of the lake. The taste of cold beer. The sweet tang of weed. But most importantly, summer brings Isak.
Something Borrowed, Something Blue by BluebeardsWife (10.8k words) - Fake dating AU, you know the drill. Even hires Isak to pretend to be his boyfriend at his ex's wedding.
This Means Nothing to Me by cuteandtwisted (10.8k words) - Isak and Even are friends and roommates who don't believe in love anymore (after they both get dumped by other people) until they do.

Don't you let me go by solarpower21 (12.2k words) - In this universe, Isak and Even are roomates and nothing more. Except that there is something more between them and they both know that but are too stubborn to admit it. Too bad it takes a very unfortunate event for them to face the truth.

La Petite Mort by EvenbechNeiheim (13.4k words) - Even Bech Næsheim is one of those cool and very hot media students at Uni who might just got the task to make a film project. Eskild is the best wingman and things like accidently falling in love with an asshole media student happen. Based on the FIRST KISS YouTube video that gave the internet an entire meltdown.
when your heart is bleeding, i'm coming to get you by orphan_account (13.5k words) - Isak doesn't exactly expect his hookup from last week to be the love advice columnist at the school newspaper he's working at. He also doesn't expect to fall even harder for him than he already has, which is a shame, really, since Even's crushing on someone else.
Heal My Heart for Christmas by iwritetropesnottragedies (recklesslee) (13.5k words) - It’s been ten years since Isak left his small town for the big city of Oslo with his father.

Hopeless by waitineedaname (1k words) - Light pining. There was no way in hell Isak would be able to talk to Even. He was tall and cool and handsome, and Isak was pretty sure talking to him would make him spontaneously combust.
i could probably just curl up in you. by milominderbinder (1.3k words) - Isak is away at a cabin with the guys when he gets a text from Even. 'hey, babe, did you take my favourite hoodie?' He is, of course, outraged that Even would accuse him of such treachery. The fact that Isak is wearing the hoodie at that very moment has nothing to do with it.
stuck on you (what did i do?) by itjustkindahappened (1.8k words) - It’s not that Even doesn’t try to be friendly with him—Isak just makes it so hard. Whenever Even approaches, Isak either makes up a fumbling excuse to leave, or just becomes really stiff and refuses to acknowledge Even’s existence.

You know where I stay by nofeartina (2.4k words) - Warning for pain. Isak is so beautiful first thing in the morning. When he still has creases in his face from the pillow, when his face is red and puffy from sleep, his hair all messed up and curly. Even prefers this Isak. This is his Isak, this is only for him.
won't you be my livewire by itjustkindahappened (3.2k words) - "i've been tryin to grab your attention in class for over half an hour by poking you and throwing things onto your desk and you're refusing to acknowledge me and gdi all i wanted to do was tell you that you look cute and now it's gone too far and i can't go back"
Cookies and Cream by GayaIsANerd (3.5k words) - Isak has a crush on the barista. He's too scared to do anything about it, but luckily there's a blizzard coming up.
i can feel the weather in my bones by EvenbechNeiheim (3.7k words) - Isak and Even are childhood friends. There’s a boyfriend sweater and Isak is just desperate to wear it.
On the silver screen by Lokkanel (4k words) - Isak was really not in the mood for this. He had a long week at work, and all he wanted was to relax with his friend, drink a few beers, maybe even smoke some weed and just chill. But no. When Jonas called him to say that he won tickets to the coolest indie film festival in Oslo, Isak knew he could forget his plans for a quiet and simple weekend.
I want to love you (in my own language) by fauu_stine (4k words) - “Okay. Maybe I’m not happy,” he admits in a resigned whisper. “Do you need a shrink discussion or a best friend discussion?” "I think- I think it’s more of a friend with benefits kind of talk."
Don't be an ass by Julieseven (4.1k words) - Even really tried to forget about him. It started out as a harmless little crush, really. He saw him at the karaoke bar SYNG one night, singing "I don't want to miss a thing" at the top of his lungs, clearly drunk out of his mind, but looking like an angel with his messy dark blond locks and crooked smile.
Little Black Book by Laika (4.3k words) - Isak Valtersen is studying his third year at the University of Oslo and having the time of his life. Enter Evy Bech Næsheim, straight out of Nissen, in his stockings, mini skirts and bubblegum scented lip gloss.

Senses by Lokkanel (5.5k words) - Sight, hearing, smell, touch, taste… Or Even falling in love with Isak, one sense at a time.
you're the one i wanna grey with (5.6k words) - They've only been dating a month, so Isak shouldn't be pathetic enough to miss Even this much when he's only gone for a weekend.
Orion's Nebula by thekardemomme (5.6k words) - Light pining I think. Even Bech Næsheim was enrolled in an astronomy class for one reason and one reason only: the cute ass boy he saw standing in the registration line.
with the taste of a poison paradise by chasingflower (6k words) - It’s routine by now. Isak hangs out with his friends during the day and at night he kisses the Dream-Even that lives on the other side of the door in his living room, and basks in the warm fuzzy feelings he gets as a result of the attention. Coraline Au.
How to Get Your Man - A Plan By Even Bech Naesheim by Evakkk (6.1k words) - When Magnus drops a big secret in front of Even... Even comes up with a brilliant plan to get Isak to reveal his true feelings. All it takes is one little lie, and one crazy family reunion.

Is This Our Time? by Evakkk (9.9k words) - This is a world where everyone is born with an indistinguishable soulmate mark... it only changes into something recognizable, once you have physical contact with your soulmate, and it's always something meaningful to the relationship. Both partners will bear the same mark. Isak is about to turn 18... and he's the only one in his friend group who still hasn't found their soulmate. But what happens when he goes out one night, gets drunk... and wakes up with his soulmate mark?
Is This What You Wanted? by cuteandtwisted (9.9k words) - Isak is filthy rich and Even is a hardworking male model who just got signed to his father's agency.

Just like in the movies by Lokkanel (10.5k words) - As he began taking in his surroundings, Isak realized he was in one of those small theaters that programmed independent and artsy movies, even old black and white films.

This isn’t a fairytale, Isak tells himself. Even is standing at the bend in the road. He looks like a metaphor for immortal life: the youth a god would kill for.

One week by Lokkanel (12.8k words) - This thing going on between Isak and Even, whatever they called it - fuckbuddies, friends with benefits - was simple, fun, nothing more.

7, 5, 25, and 29? :)
Ask me some TF2 related questions!
7. How many hours do you have for TF2?
According to Steam, I've got 313 hours!
5. First map you ever played?
I honestly genuinely think it was Swiftwater or Banana Beach?? Technically it was on my cousin's account because he introduced me to the game a couple of years before I actually got into it. When I started actually playing the game I'm pretty sure my first map was Dustbowl lmao.
25. Favorite cosmetic? (Any class)
OOOO I HAVE SEVERAL FOR THIS.
The Hundkopf for Medic is probably one of my favourite Halloween cosmetics (and I so badly want to get it this coming Halloween), and speaking of Halloween cosmetics, Pyro's Burny's Boney Bonnet combined with The Spectralnaut makes for a really cool look imo.
Otherwise, the Pocket cosmetics are my favourites too. Ohhh and the Manngaroo set for Sniper too! Furry mercs my beloveds :)
29. Something you love about each merc?
I think I went off the point of the question a little but oh well <3 (Adding a break cus it got a little long oops)
Scout! He's just a guy! A dude! He probably immediately pack-bonded with his team because he's used to probably being the youngest of a group of dudes and I love that for him. I think despite being a little naive about some things, he's smart and sharp, and people don't give him enough credit for that. He is very much Spy's son and people are always surprised about it.
Soldier! Sure he seems too far deep into the patriot thing, but I'm absolutely certain that if anything happened to his friends he would burn down even America itself for them. Additionally he's not stupid either! He's just a funky guy I love him I wish more people would appreciate him.
Pyro! NON BINARY ICON. I love them so fucking much you guys. Complete anonymity? Friends and a job that doesn't tear the hell outta you for being funky gender? In possession of the coolest weapon ever, a flamethrower? Recipe for an amazing character. A very "mess with my friends and I will atomize you" kind of character, and I have a very special place in my heart for those kinds of characters.
Demo! I FUCKINF LOVE DEMO TOO LIKE. He holds so much love and appreciation in him! Despite the negativity he holds for himself, if he's with his friends he can do anything! He's really forgiving too, like those bits in the comics where he forgives Sniper for the moonshine/poison bit and forgives Medic after he explains why he was working with the TFC and also revived Sniper?? This man is a treasure.
Heavy! Hnrg papa bear. He is just the most Big Brother to the team ever and I love that for him. He's got the patience of a saint and he'd do whatever he could to help his team. I adore the way he goes from Giant Man Ripping And Tearing On The Battlefield to Kind Older Guy Who Will Carry You To Bed If You Fall Asleep On The Couch (Again) And Will Let You Stay With Him If You Have A Nightmare.
Engie! Engie is valid to go feral at all times and I love that. In a way, complete opposite to Heavy! In the way that Heavy is typically seen as Big Man Shoot Gun whereas Engie is seen as Polite Little Cowboy. When in reality Engie is a feral little fucker and he'd throw anyone who messes with his machines across the map with just his bare hands. But he cares about his team too! I think he probably cooks for the team the most often, and while he isn't working on personal projects and getting stuck in the funnie little hyperfixation he's probably just milling around seeing if anyone needs anything. Probably one of the best to go to for advice too.
Medic! Random rant but if I see anyone call Medic an evil, morally corrupt fucker who does random experiments to fuck his team up a bit one more time I will seriously lose it. This guy cares so deeply about his team! He'd do literally anything to keep them alive! Not to use an example from before but when TFC's Sniper kills our Sniper? He's so confident in his abilities that he let that happen to continue the facade, knowing that death doesn't mean anything because he knows that he'll revive them and he's taken all the precautions to stop his team from dying! He only does what would increase his team's survivability! He doesn't do shitty things to them! He cares about them! Rant over I'm just very passionate about this. Anyway I love Medic cus he's team parent and he does everything within his power to ensure that no one will die.
Sniper! Just a funky little guy. Quite possibly one of the most gender. Like, loves animals? Crippling social anxiety? Very much queer-coded? Rough relationships with parents? That's just me /j. I adore Sniper so much, he gets typecast as the gruff bastard who'd gut you without a second thought but honestly he's one of the most likely to sit with you when you're having a bad time and let you cry on his shoulder. He keeps tissues in his jacket. He'll probably get you a snack or something afterwards.
Spy! Bastard dad but I care about him so badly. In my onion he's such a complex character and I'm a simple guy, I love breaking characters down into their bare essentials and to me Spy is one of the best to do that with. In my mind he's incredibly damaged by his past and just continously tries to push through every little setback because if he can just live to run another day then he thinks he'll be fine. But if given the opportunity to right the wrongs, to try to set his guilt free and make up for what he's done, he'd do it in a heartbeat. He pretends that he doesn't care but in reality he's always been scared of losing people who get close to him, because that's how vicious the spy underworld is. I'll stop myself before I ramble too much but this guy is very special to me. I care about him a lot.

Dream SMP Good Omens AU Part 3!
There’s another chapter of the Good Omens AU! This one is Bedrock Bros, it’s on AO3 here, but also below the cut
Technoblade was determined not to care about Tommy. He lost that particular battle.
-----------------
"Let me get something clear. I'm not sure why you're here, or what you're planning, but I haven't survived as long as I have by giving strangers the benefit of the doubt.". Technoblade paced around his opponent, making every word clear.
"You may have been able to pull the wool over Phil's eyes, but I see through this whole game.
You think you can show up in our home, learn our secrets, and report back to your boss, right?
Well, mark my words: I'm going to find out your plan, I'm going to track down the guy you're working for, and I'm going to get you out of our lives.". He glanced back.
"Are you even listening to me?".
The opponent stared blankly at him through crib bars. Technoblade folded his arms.
"I'm starting to think you might actually be a month-old baby.". Phil walked into the room, looking exasperated.
"Techno, are you interrogating the child again?"
"Listen, this orphaned child is hiding something, I know it."
"He didn't crack the first seven times you tried this. Just give it a rest, mate."
"I think I have the perfect negotiation strategy this time."
"Which is?"
"The threat of violence. Allow me to demonstrate.". He removed a sword from the wall and held it over the crib.
"Who do you work for?". Tommy looked at the blade like it was the coolest thing he'd seen in his young life and reached for it. Techno held it out of the child's reach.
Phil, unamused, swooped in, took the sword out of his hands, and half-led half-pushed him out of the house.
"I think that's enough for today."
"But-"
"Nope!”
"Just promise me you won't trust him."
"I already don't, but it's my job to keep Tommy away from danger, and I think a sword qualifies."
"I wasn't going to stab a baby. It was an intimidation tactic, I was intimidating the baby.".
Phil apparently thought that was a ridiculous thing to do, and he closed the door, leaving Techno on the porch.
The new neighbors were out in their yards.
The surly one two houses down with the business suit flipped him off as a way of greeting, while the strange guitar guy waved cheerfully, "accidentally" pointing a garden hose at the businessman in the process.
Technoblade hadn't bothered to learn either of their names. He neither liked nor trusted them, but they weren't the most important issue at hand.
No, the most important thing right now is figuring out how to end the Tommy Problem, so me and Phil can be unbothered and safe. I look after my family and no one else.
His days of living in our home are numbered.
-----------
Now, knowing your enemy is crucial to any conflict.
So, when Technoblade wasn't maintaining the old secret identity, exercising Steve, or looking after his collections of books and bones, he was gathering intel.
Unfortunately for him, babies were perhaps the most boring creatures in existence.
They couldn't speak, they couldn't move around much, they didn't have any kind of personal philosophy to argue against.
Even after two years of gathering information, he wasn't able to learn much about the thing's strengths, weaknesses, and motivations besides the basics:
Strengths: Phil's protecting him and might be a bit attached.
Weaknesses: A literal baby, untrained in combat.
Motivations: ??? An enigma.
He was a patient man, but two years of learning nothing was testing his patience. This was the only reason why he agreed to look after the toddler for an afternoon.
------------
Phil dropped Tommy off at Techno's house with very little prior warning.
Techno hadn't been expecting to ever have to look after a toddler, even for a couple of hours, and he reacted to the idea with reluctance.
"Why can't Wilbur do this again?"
“Because I’m leaving to go look for him. I had a concerning phone call, and Wilbur might be in trouble with the law or something worse. It’s a long story, but could you please watch Tommy for a little while?”.
Technoblade tried not to show his distaste for the idea of babysitting, and agreed.
All I have to do is keep him alive and unharmed for a couple of hours, hopefully learning more about what he is and why we have him. I can do that.
As soon as Phil left, he found a notebook and pen. He was going to take copious notes to make this worth it.
-------------
1:32 PM: The kid has just been released into my house. He immediately tried to fall down the basement stairs. I stopped him, but he's on the loose again.
1:45 PM: Note to self, add Unlimited Energy to the strengths column.
2:00 PM: Another round of are all children like this, or is it a supernatural thing! He apparently has the capacity to scream for five minutes straight without breathing. This is because he's upset that I won't let him on the basement stairs, which he has decided is the best part of the house because I don't want him there.
2:04 PM: On the loose once more.
2:15 PM: It's like someone released a miniature earthquake into my house. This thing is chaos incarnate loose on the mortal plane.
2:28 PM: he may or may not have a knife
2:29 PM: Crisis averted, he does not have a knife anymore.
2:33 PM: It has now been over an hour. The child is alive, my sanity is not.
2:46 PM: Steve likes him. He's an impeccable judge of character most of the time, wonder what went wrong. This would be kind of sweet, if it weren't for the fact that Phil might see that I googled if polar bears ate children.
2:47 PM: Just to clarify: Steve has not eaten the child at the time of this entry.
4:19 PM: You know what really annoys me? The voices haven't helped at all with this. I'd assume one of you would have some helpful advice, but it's just "blood for the blood god" and "E". I know that I didn't become the blood god by saying "Yeah, that seems like a reasonable amount of blood", but there are other things in life.
4:23 PM: I think I finally figured out something. The kid likes fire and (again, is that normal for human children??) and I'm exploding things at a safe distance. He's entertained, I'm getting rid of my spare Molotov cocktails, this is fine.
-------------
Techno put the notebook aside and lit another fuse.
He looked up to the window, where Steve was curled up around Tommy, stopping him from going anywhere.
He casually got out of the way of the explosion, let it happen, and ran back to the window nook in the house. Tommy was still grinning and staring at the crater in wonder.
I'm not completely failing at this.
At that moment, the doorbell rang.
Techno wasn't planning on answering it, but a certain guardian demon walked unsteadily into the house anyway.
Wilbur looked somewhat dazed, like he'd been through hell and back in the last three hours. One of his hands was hidden in his coat, but Technoblade was pretty sure he was covering a wound.
Tommy looked even more excited about seeing him than he was about the explosions, and he ran over, clinging on to Wilbur.
Despite the state he was in, he smiled down at the toddler.
Techno waited to the side for an explanation, not sure of the right way to ask someone if they'd been in an alleyway shootout recently.
Eventually, Wilbur looked up.
"If you see a man in a sonic onesie, kill him on sight."
"Heh?"
"Just some advice. Anyway, thank you so much for taking care of Tommy for these couple of hours, but I'm back."
"Wilbur, from what I can see you're going to pass out in five minutes. You're not going to look after a toddler."
"Excuse me, I haven't slept since the 19th century and I'm not starting now."
"What?"
"Ignore that. I sleep as much as humans do. The point is, I'm here to relieve you from your post.".
Technoblade thought about it.
On the one hand, the chaos gremlin would be removed from my house.
On the other hand, it's just my luck that someone only shows up once I figured out how to kind of deal with the situation.
Also, that guy's at least on Death's lawn if not his doorstep.
"I don't need you to swoop in and take the credit, but thanks. I've been handling this just fine on my own.". A puzzled expression flickered on Wilbur's face, but he eventually nodded.
"Fine. I guess."
"When you pass out in three minutes, try not to do it in the potato garden or the bush."
"Not going to do that, but sure thing.". With that, Wilbur slowly got Tommy to let go of him and left into the evening. Technoblade turned to the child.
"Alright, let's explode something else."
------------
A little later that night, a voicemail was sent to Phil.
"If you're still looking for Wilbur, you can stop. He's back, and he's not dead. I mean, he's not exactly dead.
Apparently, he got into a gunfight with Sonic the Hedgehog. He's in", and there was a muffled crash, followed by a long sigh from Techno as he stared at the wall in disappointment.
"He's in the bush. Please collect him. Also, please collect your actual child, he's tried to chew on a skull. Thanks.".
--------------
Since the first time looking after Tommy hadn't been a complete disaster, Techno didn't object when he was needed again.
After all, the more he learned, the more he theoretically grew closer to bringing their lives back to normalcy.
So, he was like 8% of Tommy's childhood. He was no Wilbur, but the kid was still part of his life.
Little traces of Tommy were everywhere in his house, except for the basement, which remained under lock and key.
The walls were scribbled on, the fridge raided too many times to count, and action figures hidden in every corner.
Whenever he got the chance, he'd find a way to test the kid for some kind of supernatural ability.
So far, Tommy was able to leave salt circles, touch iron and silver, didn't care when he cooked eggshells, and could absolutely enter places without being invited (in fact, that seemed like his favorite thing to do).
Technoblade was certain that Tommy wasn't human, but he had to admit that the likelihood of him being a spy was slim.
He seemed like a perfectly regular child, or as regular as the circumstances allowed.
Techno had met his share of liars and actors in his day (hell, his neighbors fit the criteria), but he'd never come across anything that could tell a lie that convincing.
-------------
One would expect the years to fly by for someone like Technoblade, since he'd seen so many of them.
However, time had never sped or slowed for him. The years always felt like the exact same length of time.
Still, it was odd how fast Tommy grew up.
The years still felt like plain old years, no faster or slower, but it was a surprise when Technoblade realized that the kid was seven already.
----------------
Tommy liked comic books where the heroes won, so Techno hadn't expected him to like Greek myths.
He'd only read them to him because he'd been demanding a story, and it was either the book of mythology or Sun Tzu's The Art of War.
Seeing as Tommy was a second-grader, military tactics went a bit over his head.
"So, Hades decided to let Orpheus leave the underworld with Eurydice under one condition: He couldn't look back to see if she was following him. If he doubted the gods and looked behind him before they both reached the sun, he would lose her forever."
"That's dumb."
"The gods don't like being doubted."
"If he goes into the underworld to get her back, they should be able to leave without some trick!"
"Yeah, the gods are also jerks sometimes.". Tommy curled up on the couch, trying to turn the page to find out what would happen next.
Techno had hoped that a story would calm him down, but his energy seemed even higher than before, since he was invested in the plot.
"Do they make it?"
"We're getting there. Orpheus walked back through Hades-"
"He walked through Hades?"
"Hades the place, not Hades the god. He named his kingdom after himself."
"That's not a good way to name a kingdom. I wouldn't want to live in a place named Tommyland, even if I did have a country. I should have a country."
“Tommy, you don’t want to run a government.”
"It isn't a government if it's all me!"
"That-That's absolute monarchy. That's worse."
"If you could, would you clone yourself? I would. I'd have a clone country."
"Do you want to find out what happens next in the story or not?". Tommy quickly nodded, and let Techno continue.
"Orpheus walked back through Hades, not knowing if Eurydice was behind him or not. He walked through the Elysian Fields, and the pits of Tartarus, and the endless wasteland of the shades of Asphodel."
"What's Asphodel?"
"Asphodel is where they put souls who weren't good or bad, but just kind of there. It's like the ancient Greek version of purgatory. They just stand in a meadow for all of eternity there."
"Sounds boring."
"It is. Anyway, Orpheus walked through all of Hades's kingdom. He could only hear his own footsteps and his breathing, and had no way of telling if Eurydice had followed.
When he crossed the river Styx, he asked the ferryman if there was anyone behind him, but Charon refused to answer him.
He got to the other side of the river, and all he had to do was walk through the tunnel to the surface."
"So he makes it?"
"We're getting there. Orpheus was almost to the surface, when things started to go badly for him in a special way. See, most Greek heroes are stopped by their hubris, but-"
"What's hubris?"
"Overconfidence. Arrogance. The type of person who'd try to take things from the gods instead of asking."
"Like Wilbur!"
"Exactly like Wilbur. But Orpheus was just built different.
Instead of being overconfident, his fatal flaw was doubting too much. He trusted no one, especially not himself.
So, just as he was about to step into the sun, he turned around to check if Eurydice was behind him.
And she was. She'd been behind him the whole time, but when he gave in to his doubts and turned to look, she disappeared forever.". Technoblade closed the book. Tommy was quiet, picking at a loose thread on a cushion.
"Is that it?"
"Yeah, that's basically the story."
"That's not fair. He goes down into the scariest place in the cosmos to get back the person he loves, and then loses because he turns around a couple feet from the finish line?"
"He gave into his fatal flaw. That's how most of these work."
"Hades probably knew that was his fatal flaw. And he chose that test to make him lose.". Techno blinked. He'd never thought about it that way.
"I mean, that's probably true. Like I said, the gods are jerks.". Tommy seemed disappointed by that, slumping and burying his face in Steve's fur.
"Do any of these have happy endings?".
Technoblade looked through the table of contents.
Achilles dies. Jason dies. Bellerophon dies. Atalanta got turned into a lion. Heracles and Icarus and Meleager all die. Even Theseus dies in disgrace. Seems like everyone dies, except-
"Perseus turns out okay.". Tommy brightened up a bit at that.
"Can you tell me about him?".
Technoblade found the right page and began telling the story of the man who got to go on a quest and survive.
The whole time, Tommy had his head on his shoulder, staring at the illustrations. Techno's arm fell asleep after a few minutes, but he neither noticed nor minded.
---------------
If anyone asked Techno if he cared about Tommy, he'd laugh in their face.
Of course he didn't! There was still a plan to get rid of him, it was just....delayed.
Once he grew up and went to college, he'd technically be out of the house. Which meant that the plan would still have paid off. Still a partial victory on his part.
Anyway, he'd say in very clear terms that he didn't care about Tommy. He was just some kid.
A kid that spent a lot of time at his house. A kid that he'd seen grow up. A kid that obviously cared about him.
The same kid that he taught how to throw a punch when he got into a fight at school, and which heroes corresponded to which constellations, and to call him whenever he needed help.
He'd say that he didn't care about that kid. But, out of the many liars he'd met over his long life, he was one of the worst.
And when Phil called him with a plan to make sure that Tommy stayed safe, he agreed, even though it would inconvenience him a fair bit.
Because above all else, Technoblade looked after his family.

headcanon - Steve as a Dad
request: Assuming that this is possible if he doesnt get killed off, can you give me some headcanons of present day steve as an actual dad? With his own kids? How is he with them?
warnings: none!
a/n: this request ruined me and its literally ALL I have been thinking about. duffer bros just look at the possibilities.... do not kill this man off. let him have a daughter I am begging u .... also made this more Steve centric than reader centric bc sometimes u just gotta focus on our boi
===
Steve never really thought about being a dad until he was one
after he became a dad, he decided it was the greatest honor of his life
he loved his kid more than life itself and he vowed to never be like his father
Steve would always offer to take care of the baby in the middle of the night
and even though he was sleep deprived to the max, he just wanted to be close to them
he also loves singing his baby lullabies!!! from little nursery rhyme ones to singing inappropriate songs, he just loved to sing
when he’s at work, all he can think about is his little family and how much he misses them
he keeps pictures of them in his wallet and pretty much shows every single person them
when his child is growing up, Steve makes sure to do all the stereotypical dad stuff
catch? absolutely
teaching them how to ride a bike? you bet
arts and crafts? Steve wasn’t super great at them but he would always offer to help his little girl make things
also he definitely has tea parties with his kids and sticks his pinky out - “it’s sophisticated”
he is also a sucker - he will buy them anything they want, much to the chagrin of his partner
but he does it anyway because he thinks they should be spoiled!
Steve definitely stays up super late with them and ends up falling asleep while reading them a bedtime story or playing games
he’s really good at warding off the monsters, especially since he’s done it before
and because of this, he’s very protective and vigilant around them
he gently explains to his kid(s) about the evil in the world but promises he’s always there to protect them
(he wants to show them the bat but decides not to)
Steve packs them the COOLEST lunches since he’s so good at cooking and baking
everyone is always really jealous of the lunches he packs and sometimes Steve packs extra for their friends
someone’s birthday in class? he’s baking brownies god dammit
Steve’s certifiably cool and everyone wants him to be their dad
he also definitely casually adopts children who don’t have good parents, and he definitely makes sure everyone is taken care of
Steve’s also the type of dad to make his kids wear their helmets and knee pads while riding their bikes
he likes to act very laid back but when his kids are gone be bites his nails, worried that they’ll get hurt
but his partner always ensures them that he’s a good dad who raised them right - they aren’t hooligans like Mike, Dustin, Will, and Lucas used to be
Steve gets frustrated when he can’t help his kids with their homework so he learns their material when he has the time and practically teaches it to them, learning something himself in the process
If he has a son, he definitely makes sure to give him proper, good advice about women - he doesn’t want his son to be like he was
If he has a daughter, he makes sure she knows to value herself and not give in to dumb boys (”trust me, I know the game they’re playing, they aren't worth it”)
Steve’s also the kind of dad who would let his kids drink and smoke in high school but only in the house - “I'd rather you do it here where you’re safe” (cue eye rolls)
when the kids grow up and enter high school everyone has a crush on their dad
Steve’s the PROUDEST dad alive when they graduate
you KNOW he brings a huge fuckin video recorder to the stadium and cries his eyes out - like, all you can hear is the announcer saying their name and then Steve wailing and shouting “that’s my kid!”
he doesn’t pressure them to do anything they don’t want to do - if college isn’t for them, that’s fine! he’s there to support them no matter what
and when they get into college he weeps for a week straight
and you KNOW he buys those sweaters that say “PITT DAD” “PROUD OF MY BEAR” etc
like, completely decked out in college gear
he’s really invested in his kid’s futures and their happiness
he definitely comes to their games, their musicals, WHATEVER they do
and he is always asking questions about their major and what they’re learning
he gives his kids space when they grow up but he gets really sad that they aren’t around
but he's always there for them, investing in their futures and making sure they’re happy
he just loves his family okay!!!

So apparently while I was out filling myself with Korean food I have apparently hit a follower milestone that I thought I would never reach (like why would anyone follow me lmao?!). To celebrate that I want to do a mutual appreciation post bc you guys make this hell site so fun and bearable. (BEWARE long post)
OK before starting this long ass post a quick shout-out to my mutuals who I never talk with but always see on my dash who I appreciate a lot: @someboredloser, @sumi98, @flowerkth, @nadnoeynosnatgnab
Firstly the one and only Lupin aka @dragonsrulemyheart, I think you are one of the few people who I’ve continued to talk over the years even though sometimes we don’t talk for months I always appreciate you being around. Let it be ranting about voltron or more deep stuff you are always here and I am so glad I had the opportunity to be friends with you.
@bluelotusmagi, ~you know it all you are my best friend~ the only good thing that came out of SJ was meeting you Defne. I am the luckiest person alive, words probably can’t describe how much I love you. i know that I am not a good friend but you are so precious for me never forget that (lmao I know I don’t show this to you that much but literally I am still alive thanks to you)
@the-great-gaysby, Kayden when will you realize you are too cool for me?? But really I am glad that we started talking, I mean we don’t interact as much but still I appreciate you a lot. I hope you’re happy!!
@pink-kiyoko, Anna probably my sweetest mutual. We don’t talk much anymore (bc of my shitty social skills) but still whenever I see you on my dash I feel so happy, I don’t even remember how we even started talking but I appreciate you a lot.
@minslattae, again an another mutual I don’t talk anymore (f my social skills seriously) but seriously I don’t know why Mahalet follows me like she is the coolest also her imagination and story-telling is AMAZING. Again even though I don’t message you or send you asks anymore (life makes me busy) I still follow and read all of your stories. Keep being awesome
@taepups-words, Evelyn omg words can’t describe how lucky I am to be friends with you. I enjoy all of our conversations soo much, idk why but it is so easy to talk with you I don’t even feel nervous. Also seeing you on my dash is always fun.
@forestyoongs, EVAAAAA, omg we literally talk about everything and nothing but it is always so fun. Literally our conversation topics wary from screaming about BTS to travels we made to more social justice stuff. It is always amazing to get a message from you<3
@bubblegumprincess95, my sweet hunbun!!! The absolute cutie!!! We started talking bc I saw you were turkish thanks to a common mutual who is no longer active (I miss seokie-bear). Have fun in Canada, don’t forget about me (10 months is reallly looong) also I am expecting photos.
@ohhmyheartuu5678, (still don’t know your name, don’t @ me lmao why am I like this?) But literally our talks started with me being crazy and cutting my hair short, I mean if you still continued talking with me after that, this means we are friends. On a serious note it is always so easy to talk to you, generally when I am talking with someone I always feel super nervous but it never happened with you~
@cosymyg, literally I think I am addicted to talking with you, I don’t remember what was our first conversation but I am glad that we still continue talking. We can talk about anything let it be anime, to shows we watch or just some sweet Muslim talk, I appreciate it a lot. I am so glad that we became friends.
@jesuslistenstostyles, I am so glad we became friends (and no you are not clingy and no I am happy to talk with you, don’t think other wise pls). Even though we are both turkish we still talk in English which is ironically funny. I love that we both agree on the fact that the moon is the most beautiful.
@ilovemydoge, props the only who understands me the most bc turkish friendshippp. Love you and thank you for always understanding me
@mintysugasweet, you know everyone has that one mutual who is way cool for them I think Rae is that for me, I still have no idea why you are following me
@miraculousdays, I miss talking with you but still seeing you on my dash makes me soo happy
@taeyongsflatbutt, we just became mutuals but idk man your sense of humor and your blog is really good (I might be kinda biased bc you are greek and our neighbor country but shh)

The New Trinity - Damian Wayne x Reader (xplatonic!Jon Kent)
Well, here it is. Damian is a bit older than he is currently in the comics (seventeen instead of fourteen) by the way. Hope you’ll like it :-) :
You can find my masterlist here : @ella-ravenwood-archives
__________________________________________________
The New Trinity.
That’s how everyone started to call you guys.
“You guys”. Damian, Jon and you. The Bat’s son, The Superman’s son and...You, the mighty Wonder Woman’s daughter.
The New Trinity.
It made sense really, because of who your parents were. The actual Trinity. Three of the mightiest hero in the World, forming the perfect team. And you were their children. Three.
The New Trinity.
That’s how everyone started to call you guys, as your friendship grew.
And it royally pissed you off.
Ever since you were born, everyone (and by everyone you meant your mom’s friends of course, the others...the others couldn’t know) always constantly compared you to your mother. All. The freaking. TIME !
And sure, you loved her to death, and she was the coolest and most badass woman you ever met...but you were you.
Your own being.
You weren’t all like her. Sure, you had her eyes, and sometimes, her mannerisms. And her powers. But your personality wasn’t the same (except for the part of you that was stubborn and that had to help those in need).
Besides, it annoyed you that everyone always compared you to the great “Wonder Woman” and never to your father, who was a goddamn war hero !
Of course...you never met him.
None of them ever met him.
Steve Trevor was dead long ago.
************
Before he died, almost a hundred years ago now, your mother and your father had plenty of times to get to know each other, to become best friends, to learn about each other’s culture...To fall helplessly in love.
One night of passion. Of pure bliss and love.
It’s all it took for you to exist. One night of passion, finally, after a long time playing a game of cat and mouth together...And it had to be the day before your father’s death.
Before he sacrificed himself to save many. Before your mother lost him forever...
And here you were.
But your mom’s pain wasn’t ending there.
You were born with a heart defect, and the technology of the time in the Human World couldn’t save you. The amazons couldn’t do much either...
You were dying, and that would have been the end but...Your grandmother couldn’t bear to see her precious daughter in such pain, and as Diana, panicked, arrived with you back to her homeland desperate for help...Your grandma did something she wasn’t suppose to do.
She used ancient Greek powers that the gods left behind after they disappeared, allowing her to freeze you in time, to stop you from growing a second older, hoping that one day, someone could fix your disease...Hoping that someday, she could unfreeze you and someone would be able to save you.
How ironic, really, that you were born with this particular part of your body being deficient. Right after your father’s death...almost as if to symbolize your mom’s pain ! A literal broken heart...
It took long agonizing years for the technology in the Men’s World to finally be able to save you. And so your mother brought you with her, a little baby, a little bundle that knew already too much what pain was...Bruce Wayne is the one that paid for the very expensive surgery, and you were safe.
You were finally able to live your life. Your mother decided that it would be more fit for you to grow up in your father’s world, and though it was totally different from when he was still alive...Diana could finally see an exit to all her pain.
Especially since she had just made new friends. Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne. And they were building a team together, to protect the World...Diana Prince was done hiding. Diana Prince was done trying to forget.
It was over. Just like you, she wasn’t frozen in time anymore, she needed to move on. And so a new life began for her, and your life finally started, years after your actual birth.
************
Your mom told you all about your father, and though you never met him and never would, you greatly admired him. For so many reasons...and it actually really bothered you that no one ever compared you to him.
You were brave, you were courageous...And sure your mom was too, but your dad was even more ! He sacrificed himself !! An he...
-What are you brooding about (Y/N) ?
You were in the Justice League Watchtower, sitting on a couch in one of the common room, thinking about how it was unfair that everyone always forgot about your dad, when Jon sat in front of you and Damian next to you and took your mind off of it all.
You smile at Jon (not noticing how Damian’s eyebrows furrow). That boy’s always been great to take your mind off of things, with his good nature and jokes. And Damian...Well, Damian...He was Damian. Jon was two years younger than you (technically, you were almost 90 years older than him but, since you only grew old afterward...you were his age). Damian was your age (a few months older...well, if we ignored the actual year you were born in).
-I was just thinking about what Flash said earlier.
You answer. Damian sightly smirks but says nothing, as Jon smiles at you some more and, putting his hand under his chin, takes a thoughtful expression and says :
-Which things ? Because like, Flash talks a lot. Both Flashes talks a lot. Was it Uncle Barry or Cousin Wally ?
You smile slightly at the “uncle” and “cousin” thing, realizing that...yes, all those people are your family. Truly.
-Uncle Barry. And about how we are the...new “Trinity”.
Jon’s smile widens even more, and you instantly knows he doesn’t feel like you on that matter. You turn your gaze a bit away from him (and he doesn’t even realize it), and your eyes cross Damian’s. Oh. Him. Him he understands. He always does and...Jon’s voice, once more, takes you away from your daydreaming :
-I know right ? It’s great ! We’ve entered the great hero pantheon !
You can’t help but chuckle at your best friend’s words, and how cute it is that he’s trying to put some greek words in there (you taught him what “pantheon” was a few weeks ago).
Not wanting to ruin his good mood, you decide to not talk about how annoyed you are at this name. The New Trinity. You wanted to be the new...your own thing. Damian, Jon and (Y/N). Your own selves ! But something was telling you that Jon wouldn’t understand.
Sure, he was your best friend, but he couldn’t...He was so proud to be like his father. Maybe because everyone was telling him that he was very much like his mother mentally ? Like he took more after her than him ? So he was happy to feel connected to him in that way ?
Yes. That’s something you could understand. And so, instead of saying what you really think, and though you hate to lie to him, you say :
-Yeah, it’s pretty cool right ?
Jon nods and his attention is suddenly caught by a sound neither you nor Damian can hear. He stands up and after a “be right back”, leaves the two of you for some unknown location.
Damian grumbles something and shakes his head, which makes you smile.
-I knew I wasn’t the only broody one.
You say, a mischievous look on your face. You know it’s going to annoy him. A bit like you, he dislikes being constantly compared to his father (even more to his mother, for obvious reasons), and just the word “broody” is sensitive with him, as it’s the word everyone uses to qualify his dad’s daily mood.
But your smile...The way your eyes squeezes because of it, and your nose wrinkles...He can’t help but smile back at you.
You’ve always had that effect on him.
You guys met years ago, before you even met Jon.
Ever since you were a child, you spend a lot of time at the Wayne household as it seems like your mother and Damian’s father just really got along, and needed each others often for emotional support. There wasn’t any ambiguity between them, they really were just friends, very closed ones.
You spend a lot of time there, bonding with Dick, Jason and Tim...The day Damian arrived, you remembered as if it was yesterday, even though it was over seven years ago.
You could have hated him, because he really was a disrespectful brat at the time...And yet, yet you never did.
He was awful to you at first, but unlike everyone around him, instead of getting mad and such...you talked back, you stood your ground, or sometimes, downright ignored him.
You never hated him though, no matter how harsh he was with you. And just like that...You were the first one that ever broke his shell. The first one to ever see the true Damian, the insecure and full of self-doubts little boy who just really wanted his father’s approval.
This is probably what attracted him to you irrevocably. What made him want to be with you all the time. Of course, at the time, you two were merely children, and there were no romance there, only a very strong friendship. But as the years passed...his feelings changed. He’d never admit it though, as he was pretty sure you had a crush on Jon, not him. And oh, how wrong he was.
But that wasn’t the story right now. Nop’. Right now wasn’t about how he felt about you, or rather, wether he liked you that way or not..But about what bothered you in that instant.
He could see you weren’t happy. He hated to see you like that...And so, casually, as if he was just starting yet another conversation, he smiles slightly at your remark on him being broody (knowing perfectly that you were trying to annoy him so you guys wouldn’t talk about yourself) and say :
-I know what you’re doing.
You give him a half-smile and plunge your (E/C) eyes into his green ones.
His heart skips a beat..
-Oh yeah ? And what am I doing then, Robin ?
He’s overly aware of how close you are from him right now, as you leaned towards him, your lips so. Damn. Close. His heart skips another beat, and to his own amazement, when he speaks again, his voice doesn’t even falters or shakes :
-You’re trying to make fun of me, to annoy me, so that we don’t talk about why you’re bothered that everyone calls us the “new Trinity”. You know, I’m not ten anymore, those old tricks don’t work.
Your smile disappear and he feels his heart tightens this time. He hates thinking it’d be his fault if you...But your smile is back in an instant, as you regain countenance over yourself. You look at him intently and say, suddenly looking away :
-You know why it bothers me.
For a second, you’re afraid he’ll make you say it out loud.
He’ve already done it before, forcing you to open up to him, knowing it’ll make you feel better. But this time...This time you really don’t wanna talk about it. Because it’ll make you talk about your father and you can never talk about him without wanting to cry...
Damian tries to decipher the expression of your face, and...He thinks he understands. And he truly does.
-Yes. I do know why it bothers you.
You’re wrong, to worry about him forcing you to talk today. He understands that it’s not the time. And so, instead, with gentle movements, he takes your hand in his and squeezes it slightly.
You’re startled by his sudden touch, but don’t pull away. You smile weakly at him and...yes. Yes he understands why you’re bothered about being called “the New Trinity”.
He lets you put your head on his shoulder, and you stay like that for a moment. It’s comfortable. It’s nice. It’s what friendship looks like, two people always being there for each others. But it’s also...Something more ?
From the corner of the room, Jon, who came back after checking something out, looks at you, an enigmatic smile on his face.
He knew it. He knew that that damn stubborn Damian felt something for you too ! Or he would have never let him touch you like that. It was common knowledge he wasn’t such a fan of public display of affection like that, and yet, in front of all the heroes present in the common room...He let you put your head on his shoulder.
************
It was oh so frustrating, to know that your best friends were in love with each others, but that they were both too proud and stubborn to ever say it out loud.
It was oh so frustrating, to see your best friends get jealous whenever the other one would talk to a girl/boy, or even go on dates, and yet doing nothing.
It was oh so frustrating, and heart breaking, to see your best friends sad and getting sick over the other one dating someone else, but still not admitting their feelings...
Jon have had enough.
Enough of seeing you and Damian turning around each other without ever doing anything. Enough of seeing your almost kisses and soft touches in the midst of battles. Enough of seeing you hurt to see the other ones with others. Enough of seeing you two fight for no reasons, trying to avoid talking about your feelings for each others !
Jon had to do something. But what ?
************
Making them go on a date without their knowledge worked brilliantly.
It also was an easy plan to make really. He just had to tell you guys to meet him at Gotham county Fair and not show up. At the last minute, he said he couldn’t come, and you and Damian spend the day together at the fair.
Jon, a bit creepily, stalked you guys.
He almost screamed out in frustration when, in the haunted mansion, a monster startled you and you jumped in Damian’s arms, your face so close to his, your lips getting closer and...the monster coming back to scare you ruining the moment.
When he passed after you and Damian (as he followed you guys discreetly), he tripped over the actor in the monster suit. He felt a bit bad about it, but damn, almost kiss again !
You two were so made for each other, he knew it. After all, he was your best friend ! He could see all the looks you gave each others, all the laughs and smiles you shared.
Only you could make him laugh so hard.
Only him could make you smile so sweetly.
And looking at you, going around the fun fair like that, he was just more and more sure that you were made for each other.
You took silly pictures in the Photo Booth, you went on the ferris wheel, making the wagon you were in rock dangerously, laughing your ass off (you got banned from the ferris wheel after that..), you went to the haunted mansion and went out fingers tangled...only to realize you were holding each others hands and awkwardly apologizing and letting go (grrrroooooaaaaah !!! Jon screamed in his head). He won a teddy bear at darts for you, you won a stuffed animal (a dog of course) for him. You joked around. You talked, about anything and everything, about nothing too.
It almost seemed like you were both just regular teenagers dating. Even though you were far from normal teenagers...That’s why Jon knew you guys were made for each other.
You made the other one feel normal. Feel like the World wasn’t too fucked up...
************
Jon jinxed himself. He knew it. By thinking that making you guys go on an unknown-date things were going to move forward, he was oh so wrong.
Things didn’t move at all. Not one bit.
You guys acted like the great day you had spend together was just another friendship thing. Like you didn’t almost kiss a few times. Like, when the man to whom Damian bought a candy apple for you said : “Oh gentleman, buying things for his girlfriend ! Youngsters this days don’t do that anymore...” neither you nor Damian corrected him and said that you weren’t his girlfriend...never happened.
It has been like that for YEARS !! Bot h of you acting as if you were “just very good friends”.
No.
You were more than that.
You were good friends with Jon. You’d hug Jon, but never put your head on his shoulder. Damian would always have a good time with Jon, but he’d never laugh so full heartedly with him than he did with you. You’d smile at Jon, but you’d never give him that sweet little tender smile. Jon would tease you sometimes, but instead of blushing like you did with Damian, you’d laugh and talk back. And whenever you’d do that, Damian would literally smell like “jealousy”...
You were friends with Jon. Best friends. You’d die for him, and he would for the both of you. A strong bond linked you all, the fact that people called you the “new Trinity” wasn’t just because you were similar to your parents and such. It was also because of how strong your friendship was, how you always were there for each other etc etc...But the link that was between you and Damian was different.
Jon noticed it from day one. The first time he met you two, you were twelve and him ten. His father had kept him away from any superhero stuffs for a while but, after realizing that his son was also a super, he just brought him in too...and that’s when he met you two.
Already there, Jon noticed how different Damian would be around you. How softer his voice would be when talking to you. How guilty he felt whenever he was acting like a douche towards you. And you...You would be less sassy with him than with other people.
Already there, Jon noticed that there was something special between the two of you. And he just knew he was right !!
But his little trick, making you guys going on a “date”, made him realize something...you two were two damn stubborn to ever admit your true feelings to each other ! He had to take another offensive.
************
It was a disaster.
For the past three months, Jon very obviously stated multiple times that you liked each other, and instead of denying it, both of you would just plainly ignore him ! Treat him like a child ! He hated that !
He went to sleep over at Wayne Manor once, to see how Gotham’s street were...He downright told Damian that you liked him, and Damian just turned towards him, stunned, said :
-Don’t be silly Jon, she can’t like me.
And continued his damn patrol !! Hell even Damian’s father was surprised when only Jon was there, and not you ! So used to always see you guys together more than with anyone else !
When Jon told the Batman that he was sure that you and Damian liked each other, Bruce slightly smiled and said :
-Of course they do. Don’t fret Jon, they’ll realize it one day...
Jon stopped himself from saying something about how it took years to Bruce to “realize” that he was really in love with Selina Kyle and wanted to marry her...Wasted years !
He couldn’t let his friends waste that much time when it was obvious you were so into each others...
When he told you Damian liked you, you had the same reaction than him, that’s how much alike you were ! How PERFECT you’d be together !!
And when he asked both of you why you thought the other one couldn’t like you, you said the same thing again :
-Because you idiot, he/she’s too good for me !
...Jon didn’t understand. He just couldn’t.
************
You always thought that Damian was the smartest and bravest man you’ve ever met.
He always thought you were the smartest and bravest woman he ever met.
It was always like that, and it drove Jon crazy. You both loved (he was now sure it was not just a teenage infatuation) each other for the same reason, and yet were blind to see that the other one did too ! It baffled him, how smart and yet so daft you both could be.
Jon tried everything he could. He tried to set you up on other “dates”, it ended up every time the same way. Just...”we’re friends”.
He tried to tell you outright, you wouldn’t believe him. He tried to confront you with it with both of you in the same room, but you’d just turn everything into ridicule and mock him. Act as if he was going crazy. Jon knew this was some sort of...self-defence mechanism you both had...And yet.
Jon tried everything. And he was tired. He decided to give up...at least for now.
************
-I understand my little one.
You sigh in relief, as your mother ruffle your hair lovingly, as she used to do when you were a child.
You had just told her everything, about how bothered you were by this “new Trinity” thing, and about how you wished people would recognize your father more. You were afraid to hurt her feelings...Bringing your father up was never really a good idea. And telling your mother that you were tired to be compared to her ? Maybe it wasn’t the most delicate thing to do but you couldn’t lie anymore...
You smile weakly at her, and she shakes her head. She grabs your face between her hands and say :
-(Y/N), my dearest one, please, don’t ever feel like you can’t tell me something alright ? I couldn’t always talk to my mother when I was young and...I just want you to know that I’ll always be there for you, not matter how...delicate a topic is. Ok ?
You nod shyly, which was stupid, because this was your mom ! Why were you shy with her ? A soothing kiss from her on your forehead makes you forget all your worry and, just like when you were a child, you close your eyes and dive into her arms as she opens them for you.
Her hugs were always the best. She holds you tight against her heart, and starts to sing one of those Greek lullaby you like so much...and oh you decide it’s magic, because just like that, she makes you blurt out :
-I really like Damian and I have no idea how to deal with those feelings !
You can’t see her face, but you know your mom is smiling slightly above you.
************
-You don’t know what to do with those feelings uh ? Have you ever told her ?
-God no ! What if she doesn’t like me back ?
-What if she does ?
It’s very rare, that Damian would speak so openly with his father. He wanted to talk to Dick, but his brother wasn’t around that day and...The way his dad asked him what was the matter just made him want to talk to him.
And for one of those rare time, he did. He told his dad everything about how he felt and such. He told him his doubts, how his heart beat so much around you etc etc.
-I don’t know father, I don’t know.
Bruce can’t help but smile sweetly at his son. It makes his heart swell, to talk about such trivial matters with him. As if they were a normal father and son, and not just...Them.
-Damian, my boy...What’s the worst that could happen ?
He could loose you. That’s what the worst that could happen. He could loose you and your friendship forever. By not telling he loved you, he ensured the fact that you’d always be friend, that him telling you how he felt and you not reciprocating wouldn’t make things awkward ! By acting as if you were just friends, he would make sure you’d always be around...And even if one day, you fall in love with someone else, at least he’ll still have your friendship !
-Damian, you guys have been friends since forever. Let’s imagine she doesn’t feel the same way for you...It will indeed be weird for a while, but in time, things will get back to normal. It won’t...It won’t change your friendship.
Something in his dad’s voice makes Damian flinch :
-Are you...are you talking by experience?
Bruce nods.
-Way before your birth. I thought I loved Diana. Hell, I probably really did love her, though now the feelings I have for Selina makes me realize that maybe it wasn’t love with a big “L”. What I mean by that is...I told her. And you know what ? She didn’t feel the same. Her heart was still not over Steve Trevor. And she rejected me...Are we not friends anymore ?
-...No.
-So, Damian, my boy, tell me, knowing that this won’t destroy your friendship...If you tell her how you really feel, what’s the worst that could happen ?
************
Loosing you.
That’s the worst that could happen.
Loosing you for good.
“The New Trinity” was called for what was suppose to be an easy mission...that quickly turned into a disaster.
Jon, you and Damian were fighting for your lives, waiting for the cavalry to arrive...
A trap. It was a trap.
Apokolips’ troops were waiting for you. A large amount of them. Too many to be able to fight them all, even if you were “the new Trinity”.
You were back to back, making sure you’d all protect each others’ blind side.
Back to back.
Protecting each others, being there for each others, as you always were.
But that day, Bruce’s words were floating around in Damian’s head, and the advise your mom gave you were also in yours. And you weren’t focused enough for that, you weren’t ready enough !
This was just suppose to be a reckon mission !
Jon sees it. But he can’t do anything about it.
He also sees the spear lunging towards Damian...but even though he’s fast and strong, he’s busy with his own ennemies and know he won’t be there in time to save his friend !
But you’re there...In the way...The spear hits you right in the heart.
At the same time, your parents arrive, as well as the rest of the League.
It takes a few minutes for them to annihilate Apokolips’ troop. Your mother doesn’t see you, in Damian’s arms, a spear in your heart...
Damian feels himself crying. His vision is blurry with tears, and as he looks up to Jon, he says :
-She’ll pull through right ? Right Jon ? Tell me she’ll pull through !
But Jon can’t say it. He can’t say anything. A lump is stuck in this throat. He falls down on his knees, and takes his head in his hands, not able to stop himself from sobbing...He just witnessed his best friend dying, and he wasn’t able to do anything about it ! Jon took your hand and...did you just squeeze it back ?
Damian could feel his heart slowly tearing apart, as he held your lifeless body in his arms...And all of the sudden, the words blurt out :
-No. No. No come back please, come back (Y/N). I can’t live without you. You’re my best friend. You’re my...You’re my everything. Please come back...Come back. I’ve got so much to tell you...Please...Come back. Come back. I love you (Y/N), I love you so much...I lied, I dont’ think you’re just my friend, you’re more than that to me...You’re...you’re my everything...please...
The raging battle around you all comes to an end.
Damian, face riddled with tears, looks up and is faced with your mother...
How could he ? How could he tell her that you died, sacrificing yourself to save him ? How could he ?
But your mom...She...smiles ?
-Well, if people don’t start comparing you with your father now, I don’t know when they will.
You groan. Wait...You groan ? And you move in Damian’s arms. Laboriously. It’s difficult. You cough a bit, but not blood.
Wait. Come to think of it, there’s no blood anywhere. What ?
You open one eye, then the other. Your mom smiles down at you, as well as the rest of the League. They saw how you jumped in front of your friend to save him. You can see how Bruce thanks you in silence.
And you can see Damian’s face. Tears. His confused expression, him not registering you’re not dead. A shit-eating grin spread on your face as you say :
-I’m your everything uh ? You love me uh ?
Your mom shakes her head, and say :
-Oh that’s also definitely your father. Damn that man and his sometimes a bit cruel teasing, his stupid sense of humor.
Jon looks at you and, suddenly understanding what’s going on says :
-Oh no you didn’t just do that ! I can’t believe it ! I CAN’T BELIEVE IT (Y/N) !!
You smile at him and winks, which makes you wince a bit...Sure, you were wearing your impossible to pierce armor that your grandmother gave you (a bit like Mithril in the Lord of the Rings you told her...she didn’t understand), and so the spear didn’t do any permanent damage but...man it was going to bruise !
That spear was launched with force !
Jon is on his feet already, and, throwing his arms in the air, he gives you his best : “WHAT THE FUCK ?!” facial expression. Your mother can’t help but laugh, and pat him on the back, an understanding look on her face.
Damian is still stunned. What was going on ?
And suddenly. It hits him too. Yes. The armor that can’t be pierced. It’s as if someone shot you and you were wearing a bulletproof vest. Bruised but not dead.
He ignores your teasing, the way you said : “so you love me uh ?” and takes you in his arms, holding you tight in his arms.
-Don’t ever do that to me again you idiot, don’t you dare do that again...
He says. You smile and hug him back, saying :
-Becauuuuuse...You love me ?
He doesn’t even care you’re not saying it back, as he says again :
-Yes. I love you.
You smile and answer :
-Good. Cause I love you too.
The kiss you share is a bit clumsy and shy, but it’s a good one. And when he lifts you up in his arms and helps you up on the league’s ship, you feel happier than ever.
Jon too, is happy. And oh so finally relief. It took him months for that to finally happen ! If only he knew that the only thing that would make you guys admit to each other that you were in love was a life endangering situation, he would have found a way BEFORE that...
Your mom and Damian’s father smile at each other. They couldn’t dream of a better person for their children that those two eh ?
In the ship, bundled against Damian, you realize that...Yeah, it wasn’t actually that difficult to say it. Because you love him. For real. You just love him.
As simple as that.
And he loves you and...The worst didn’t happen. He hoped the worst would never happen...He would make sure it would never happen.
Another clumsy kiss, and...yes. As simple as that.
___________________
This is the fucking worst. I wrote this annoyed at something and couldn’t focus totally on it. Besides, there were a lot of people talking around me and such and...yeah I really couldn’t focus. I’m still posting it though, because I know myself, I won’t ever re-write it and it’ll be lost in my drafts forever, like other finished stories are (finished stories I really hate)...So I figured, since I promised a Damian story, I’ll just post it and so be it. Anyway. The End.
PS : Let’s be honest for a second, this might be erased because I feel really self-conscious about how bad it is. Like way more than usual. UH.

Note
Kreig Cecilia and Kusuma
Full Name: Kreig of [snowland country name]Gender and Sexuality: Male, straight (potentially asexual but idk if I’ll ever make that canon)Ethnicity/Species: Human with about 10% harpy blood
Birthplace and Birthdate: In the country I’ve been calling snowland on here. The dating of this place means it’d be like 82X of the fourth era or some crap, so I'mma say he’s like in his 40s or soHaven’t figured out the calendar system beond the years yet though, so I super dunno month/day (not even an equivalent) Fall or winter bday feels okay… maybe even spring….
Guilty Pleasures: Judging people with friends. Like can you envision a bunch of dads with beers talking crap about foreign policy makers or something? Yeah that’s kinda his thing. He sees nothing wrong with it though
Phobias: Oh dude. He’s so tough… hm, I bet he’s like one of those people who couldn’t handle being made useless in some way. If he knew he was losing brain functionality and was gonna end up in a vegetative state, I think he’d ask his son or someone similar to kill him. Probably his wife actually. He trusts her to do it, and do it when the time is right for it
What They Would Be Famous For: He’s a king, so like…. okay but more specifically he’ll be remembered as a very strong leader. Like in 500 years he’ll still be taught about. He has navigated wars and foreign relations with unparalleled skill, and he’ll certainly get credit in finally securing the alliance with [mainland]
What They Would Get Arrested For: Lol, in modern times? Maybe like some visits from CPS, but nothing would come of that. Maybe assault, if I HAD to pick. But I’ll be honest, dude’s goal in life is to be as legalistic as possible, so it’s tough
OC You Ship Them With: I honestly don’t. He’s married to Heiwa, and they kind of hate each other a little, but also respect each other and similar, and I very much enjoy the weirdness that is their relationship. Ship though? No.
OC Most Likely To Murder Them: Hmmm… I mean I can think of some villain OCs, but honestly that’s it. As much as Skye and Marth dislike him, they would never hurt him. Not intentionally. I think when they were first married, it could have been Heiwa, but no longer.
Favorite Movie/Book Genre: Documentaries, biographies, non fiction type stuff. He’s more likely to go for stuff he can learn practical things from though. Strategies and stuff. He’s a workaholic.
Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: Romance probably annoys him on some level. But anything where the leader character sacrifices themselves for an underling would enrage him. “It’s bad leadership”
Talents and/or Powers: Dude is great with strategy and combat. He’s smart/cunning despite his drawbacks.
Why Someone Might Love Them: He does what’s necessary and doesn’t let Anything distract him from serving his people. He doesn’t shy away from self sacrifice for what he believes is the greater good, and he falls under the ‘a jerk, but he’s right’ very often
Why Someone Might Hate Them: He’s a jerk. His methods often don’t achieve the ends he believes they will, especially in his personal relationships. He’s far too harsh and legalistic, even going beyond what’s necessary
How They Change: Kreig is not a man who changes Much. His biggest change is in the slow shift of how he views his son. As someone who’s worth existing. The fact that this strongly correlates to him physically getting stronger is something of a shame, because really, that’s the smallest portion of what contributes. Though in his own way, he always did care for his son, it just has never and will never be more important than their country.
Why You Love Them: What can I say? He’s got the internal strength of a bear. Dude could saw off his own legs for the sake of his country. There’s something to respect there, especially given he’s not even crazy or anything like most such characters.
Full Name: Cecilia… Ward? (Still deciding last name honestly)Gender and Sexuality: Female, straightEthnicity/Species: Based off an Amazon woman. Dark skinned.Birthplace and Birthdate: In the desert east of mainland, their great enemies. Birthdate is not hugely important. Not even a spoiler to say she’s dead honestly. When she died? Maybe around 27??
Guilty Pleasures: Mm, showing people up probably. Proving someone wrong, that kind of thing. It’s not about being right so much as pulling the rug from under people. This isn’t majorly apparent in her personality, she’s just got a slight chip on her shoulder
Phobias: Word of her wherabouts being sent back home
What They Would Be Famous For: Sadly enough? The fact that she married and had a child with someone of a certain race who is very hated among her people
What They Would Get Arrested For: That marriage if she ever went back to her country, honestly. But by todays standards? Well, could see her getting into a fight and accidentally going a tad too far, even if it was initially self defense. Whoops. But honestly she’s actually very well restrained, but that’s a lot to do with that she moved to a country where people are Extremely racist against her, and she kind of has no choice but to deal
OC You Ship Them With: Leo
OC Most Likely To Murder Them: Hmm, of the good guys… uhh? Honestly if she was alive she’d be pretty well liked among those who didn’t care about her race. Which by the time of the story is a lot more people than when she was aroundBut one of the bad guys actually is her murderer so l o lYou know, once upon a time the most likely would have been Dalton (Marth’s dad) honestly?? He’s actuually the least racist dude in general, but man that war was sommething
Favorite Movie/Book Genre: Maan, she’d probably enjoy stupid spectacle movies just fine, but in books go for pretty phlisophical stuff. Like if something was 100% allegory and got mildly, but underhandedly preachy? She’d love that actually.But mostly she would enjoy realistic fiction I think, especially involving humble characters or similar.Without realizing it she’d def have her favs be farmer characters who loved their animals type of vibe. You know the vibe.
Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: Hmm… Love triangles, and probably when the strawman comes and pesters the Innocents and so they just gotta beat up the strawman. No other choice
Talents and/or Powers: Has extra strength due to her race. Has some pretty alright skills with a sword, and basic magic knowledge.
Why Someone Might Love Them: Girl takes about as little crap as you can in her situation. She’s fairly prideful but really sticks to what she believes in, even when it hurts her pride. Even when it leads to her living in a foreign country where she’s hated
Why Someone Might Hate Them: Prideful. At the start, her pride and chip on her shoulder nature can especially override her kind nature.
How They Change: Becomes a lot more empathetic and undertsanding. Doesn’t get very caught up in her own life and is able to see people a bit more accurately. Overcomes some of her own racism. Becomes a lot stronger in a more real way which is less defensive.
Why You Love Them: She’s a very prequel kind of character, but I appreciate that she’s a fairly simple and straightforward person. Like she’s not dumb, she just sees no use in complicating things. Though she sees things a bit skewed and biased at times, she learns and grows and will admit to when she’s wrong. But she’ll stand by when she’s right even when she’s the literal only one who is
Full Name: Kusuma RitterGender and Sexuality: Female, straightEthnicity/Species: Also that amazon based race, dark skinned (you know how to pick em)Birthplace and Birthdate: In mainland. Due to the nature of post story, it encompasses a lot of ages. But basically she’s introduced when she’s 12
Guilty Pleasures: Roughhousing, showing how fantastically awesome she is to everyone, or even just one person
Phobias: People breaking into the house
What They Would Be Famous For: Coolest kid on your block. When she’s older? Maybe coolest guard in the district
What They Would Get Arrested For: Assault lol. Resisting arrest would be tacked on
OC You Ship Them With: None, also due to the nature of post story. Honestly if I did ship her, it’d probs end up being with Soren, but they’re like adoptive siblings, so I try to just let them be siblings (it’s better that way)
OC Most Likely To Murder Them: Soren lol, at least when they first meet. Racism isn’t fixed yet me boyos.
Favorite Movie/Book Genre: Action. No doubt. Bring on the one liners.
Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: Hmm… honestly romance sub plots in general. She hates when cool action stuff has to come to a halt to develop (or more likely fail to develop, but still force awkward scenes) a relationship.She doesn’t hate romance per se, just in these moments especially
Talents and/or Powers: Bonus strength, decent with sword (as much as a 12 year old can be)
Why Someone Might Love Them: Honestly she’s just a cool 12 year old. Half of what sh says and does wouldn’t be out of place with sunglasses. But she’s also a protective older sister. Catch her using her free time to help with baby care
Why Someone Might Hate Them: She’s a bit obnoxious at times. A bit self important and cocky. It can be a bit clear to older peeps that she’s hiding some insecurities. She can hold a grudge and be Too blunt at times, lashing out in frustration when she has to deal with Soren at first (racism right back ya heck)
How They Change: Forgets any of those racist ideas she had, because Soren’s a weirdo, but he’s not evil. Becomes a bit more secure, so her defensive bluntness goes down, though her sarcasm goes way up. Her empathy and general love of people increases, though she also just develops better EQ in general. She can sense when people are eying her funny or talking behind her back, though she never lets it get to her. Honestly she just becomes the picture of confidence. Kinda Flynn Rider acting?? But legit.Why You Love Them: She’s pretty mature for her age despite it all. She steps up when things need doing without hesitation, but all while maintaining her attitude. Despite what happened to her, she never seems super traumatized or any such thing. It’s a bit hidden, but a lot just comes from how she deals with things too. She tends to work through her problems in an actually healthy way without tons of guiddance, though she ends up really thriving with it. But honestly she’s just sassy without being too blind to where peoples lines are, so stops herself short of being annoying with it. A good girl
#Vio Speaks#Thank you!!!!!!#Have I ever mentioned Cecilia before lol#You picked such a newly developed one#though old as Skye in some senses#Have been developing her as recently as last night even

Lessons Learned: Monster Hunter World
A little over three weeks, and well over 80 hours in, and Capcom’s Monster Hunter World (2018) is still serving up excitement, surprises, and delicious looking digital meals. Here I’d like to talk about some of the things that I’ve found make this game so endlessly compelling, and what can be learned from where this game succeeds. (Minor spoilers to follow)
Meaningful Rewards
This is easily the core that gets talked about the most in the Monster Hunter franchise, and its certainly present in World. The idea behind this is that Monster Hunter offers the player a system focused on loot, rewards and rare item drops, sans almost all of the randomness those systems often come with. This means if the player wants rarer items, they simply need to fight rarer, harder monsters. Should they want to increase their odds of getting more of a rare drop, they’ll have to further master the game beyond simply killing the monster. A good example of this is getting monster tails, which can simply be done by cutting off the desired monster’s tail (which is easier said than done) or perhaps getting a certain monster’s horn by destroying said monster’s horn (horns which are by no means weak-spots, and put the player in a vulnerable position). Another example is a brilliant piece of mid-game Palico gear, that allows the player to swap out one of the Palico’s many support items in favor of an item that steals more monster parts, mitigating grind but also increasing the challenge. At its core Monster Hunter is a game that will make you work for whatever loot you want, but gives you clear non-random routes to get those rewards. It’s this hard work that makes those rewards meaningful; every piece of gear the player has tells stories of their hunts and achievements, rather than a single story of when they got lucky and a boss dropped the weapon they wanted from a randomized number on a predetermined table. The game also rewards the player in a variety of other ways, by rewarding story progress by slowly opening new mechanics, by rewarding their exploration with new camps to spawn at, by rewarding mastery of weapons by offering an ostensibly simple combat system with surprising depth. Nearly every other category I’m about to mention ties back to rewarding the player’s time and effort in meaningful ways.
The Player Skill vs Gear and Preparations Balance
This is another staple of the Monster Hunter franchise, that the player needs to juggle three important aspects to succeed in a hunt: Being skilled with their weapon (i.e. getting “gud”), having appropriately durable and deadly gear, and making sufficient preparations (i.e. eating food, and packing the right items) before hand. What’s brilliant about this triad is that the player is able to supplement one if they’re lacking in another. Did you totally forget to prep for your hunt, but are well geared and quick on the dodge rolls? You might make it out alive. Do you want to tackle a big monster, but don’t quite have the damage numbers or armor to make it work? Prepare well, bring lots of potions, and put your skills to the test and you might end up beating that fire-breathing T-Rex a whole lot sooner than the story intended you to. By offering the player a number of keys to success, players aren’t nearly as obligated to follow any particular one. Unlike many gear-based games, such as Bungie’s Destiny 2 (2017) , you’re not as limited by how much you’re willing to grind for competitive gear, and given there’s no real level-up system, your skills only improve by you as a player getting better at playing the game (see also: Meaningful Rewards).
Meaningful Player Choice
When we talk about Player Choice in games, we often think of karma systems, picking factions, and deciding what color lightening you want to shoot. They’re choices that are baked into the narrative and often draw from the rich tradition of “Choose Your Own Adventure” games, sometimes without keeping any of the spirit, flavor, or depth. However, Player Choice can apply to more than BioWare’s fantastical operas and Lionhead Studios’ hero simulators. In Monster Hunter World, the question of Player Choice boils down to time, style and preference. What monsters does the player want to hunt? Do they equip their Palico with the item that’ll help them get more loot or the item that might guarantee their survival? Which weapons, elements and gadgets suit their play-style the best? And which hat do they think looks coolest or offers the best bonuses? Monster Hunter World opens the flood gates on these questions by offering the player a cornucopia of choices in how they’ll spend their time hunting and what kind of hunter they want to be. It’s a kind of player choice that lends itself well to emergent story telling, and a more personal connection and pride of one’s avatar. This is emphasized even more in multiplayer, where one is allowed to essentially show-off all the choices and routes they’ve taken, while cooperating with others who have done the same. World does this particularly well as a result of the sheer volume of customization options. Whereas many previous Monster Hunters favored set-bonuses and more rigid builds to fight certain monsters, World seems to outright encourage the player to make their own build in the same way the franchise as a whole has encouraged players to pick the weapon that feels best to them.
Introducing Mechanics Slowly
It took me around 60 hours to get to Monster Hunter World’s end-game, and right up into that 60th hour (and even now at hour 82) the game not only had new mechanics to introduce, but new tricks to teach. It reminded me a lot of Monolith Production’s Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor (2014), a game with a treasure trove of mechanics and systems that were introduced slowly throughout the game’s entire length. Monster Hunter World does something similar, with the player’s hub and crafting options slowly expanding throughout the course of the story, instead of overloading the player with mechanics and options they won’t know how to best take advantage of yet. This lets the player understand and master each new mechanic, from the botanical gardens to palico safaris, before the next one is introduced. This makes the eventual task of juggling each of the player hub’s many vendors and mechanics come naturally to players who have reached end-game.
Cut-Scenes That Teach the Player
If you go back and watch nearly any cut-scene in Monster Hunter World that introduces a new monster, you’ll find that they give subtle hints and clues to the player, either about the monster they’re fighting (weak spots, elements, attacks, etc.) or about the surrounding environment (a memorable example is a cut-scene in the Ancient Forest that points out a cluster of suspended rocks that players can drop on monsters, a cluster I was totally unaware of before that point). This helps to make Monster Hunter World’s cut-scenes more than just flashy intros, but rather clever hints, and helps play into another one of World’s great strength...
Endless Depth
Perhaps “Endless” is an exaggeration, however Monster Hunter has always offered incredible depth and innumerable tricks and trades to learn. Firstly is the way in which each monster has its own ticks, weaknesses, strengths, routes, recoveries, etc, and essentially acts as a beautiful and deadly puzzle that the player slowly unfolds the more they hunt them. Now tack on to that each of the game’s 14 weapon types, all of which play quite uniquely and are full of unique and hidden cancels, combos, timing and tech. Tack on to that each of those 14 weapons’ many permutations and elemental strengths, and the massive list of armors and bonuses the player can take advantage of. This dizzying array of variation and learning is part of what makes Monster Hunter so compelling. The aforementioned balance between gear and player execution, paired with a cast of unique and distinct monsters is what gives this vast quantity equally vast depth. What World adds to this core formula is an equally varied and detailed environment and ecosystem, one that unfolds to the player in its own way. Pair this with the Scout-flies who attempt to make this vast and varied world more manageable, and a slinger full of varied ammo and tech, and World offers players the most elaborate hunting puzzle yet. In essence, Monster Hunter leverages a large number of options, variables and hidden information that all pair with each other in a deceitfully simple way (that is to say, that all of this variation boils down to “there is a monster and you must hunt it by dealing damage to it and not taking too much damage yourself”) to offer the player vast depth to explore and master.
Consistent and Compelling Live Updates
This is nothing new to Monster Hunter World specifically, but it bears noticing, as the excellent execution of things like login bonuses and weekly events are a large part of what sets Monster Hunter’s live features apart from those of games like Destiny 2. Firstly the game rewards you generously for logging in daily, giving you a useful item and Lucky Voucher, which the player can use on any quest to double their rewards. This is particularly helpful in mitigating grind, as players may opt to only login for one hunt per day, but are able to double their earnings from that hunt via the Lucky Voucher. This system is also balanced out by the cap of 5 Lucky Vouchers, to encourage players to use them daily instead of hording them for the end-game. Additionally Monster Hunter’s events are back and as rewarding as always, giving players unique feeling hunts for equally unique rewards. Unlike games such as Destiny 2, these events are literally weekly and give very specific guaranteed rewards for the player to work towards, as opposed to a random roll on a table of possible event items (see also: Meaningful Rewards).
Light-Hearted Flavor
This is something I hadn’t realized was important until a friend had pointed it out, which is that Monster Hunter is an ostensibly quite jolly game. The colors are vibrant, the run animation is still delightful, and the cat puns are omnipresent from the onset. It’s a game that’s deeply committed towards realizing its world, but isn’t concerned with that world being particularly realistic in any grim sense. It’s nice to see a game that manages to balance fun with a cohesive and imaginative lore, all of which is surprisingly grounded in nature. I’m reminded of other games with similarly jolly vibes, things like Insomniac Game’s Sunset Overdrive (2014) or Square Enix’s Final Fantasy series, but even those games either opt to not take themselves seriously at all, or use that jolliness as a preface to later more serious themes. Monster Hunter seems to do it simply because its fun, and it makes the world a greater joy to be in. Its clear from interviews that Monster Hunter as a franchise is built from the ground-up to put a smile of players’ faces, and the lore is merely there as a garnish, an afterthought, thus liberating the developers to make and imagine whatever they think would be fun and engaging. It’s this kind of liberated approach that would be nice to see more often in modern games, as its something fairly unique to the medium and in many ways at the core of what helped games like Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (2017) grow into what they are. It’s a kind of philosophy that doesn’t just put play first, it puts fun first, from aesthetic to mechanic.
The Nemesis
This will probably get its own Let’s Analyze at some point, however the diegetic and emergent introduction and usage of the monster Bazelgeuse is all at once masterful and terrifying. It’s an example of a phenomenon in games of having a ‘Nemesis’, or the thing whose sole goal is to ruin your day. In games, particularly games with fun or satisfying combat, it can become easy for enemies to not truly feel like enemies anymore. Instead they’ll feel like fun challenges, equal competitors, or even fodder to fuel the forges of your fun. The Nemesis breaks this cycle, in part by being incredibly powerful, in part by appearing when they’re least expected or least welcome. The Nemesis isn’t usually what you hunt, it’s what hunts you. Which brings us back to Monster Hunter World, where the Bazelgeuse will often swoop in and begin carpet-bombing your hunt just when you think you have things under control, or worse yet begin carrying off a monster you were hoping to catch alive. It’s a moment of intensity so high that it gets its own theme (even throwing in a light motif from Monster Hunter 2) , that will undoubtedly throw a wrench into any hunt. It’s an emergent way of creating a monster the player will truly loathe to see, and a clever way of keeping players on their toes during High Rank hunts and expeditions, utilizing that seamless world to its fullest.
The Soundtrack
Not only is the soundtrack brilliantly adaptive, and full of endless personality (from the Rotten Vale’s choice of synth and organs, to the brilliant rework of Birth of a Hero) but its call backs to franchise motifs are often subtle and exciting. The choice of theming each area in the game with its own motifs and highlighted instruments isn’t anything particularly new, but is used to exceptional effect here. The winding Wildspire Waste favors jazz and guitar motifs, while the Rotten Vale focuses on fast strings, synth and booming percussion. Add to this the numerous variation of each location’s tune, depending on whether the player is fighting minor or major monsters, and whether they’re chasing, fighting or just arriving, and the music truly becomes as alive as Monster Hunter’s ecosystem. This further reinforces each location’s unique personalities and feel. Additionally, Monster Hunter soundtracks have always been particularly potent as a result of their grand orchestral nature and its a true joy to have those soundtracks shine outside of tiny 3DS speakers.
In Conclusion
Monster Hunter World can best be described as a game that is as fun to play as it is satisfying to master. It’s imaginative, immersive and offers players an masterfully well realized sandbox to tell their own stories in. Easily one of the largest takeaways from a game like this is ways in which you can reward a player, and motivate them to sink countless hours into your world. The central key in all of Monster Hunter is clear cause-and-effect, from learning weapons, to monsters getting into turf-wars, to the eponymous cycle of monster hunting itself. The player is able to clearly understand what they must do to get their desired effect (be it gear, camps or even simply landing a hit) guaranteed, and is simply asked to put in the effort and mastery to cause said effect.

Answer ALL OF THEM.
....oh you dirty *BITCH*....!
A cartoon you remember that nobody else does.
At times I feel like the only person on Earth who remembers Exosquad.
It’s a real shame, because Exosquad was one of the best toons of the 90s and proof positive that just because something was made to tie-in to toys, doesn’t mean that it has to be little more than a mindless extended commercial.
A cartoon you like but nobody else seems to.
That would be Beast Machines. A sequel series to the uber-good Beast Wars, this series caught a lot of derision for its shift in tone, design and character. Given the context though, I didn’t really see it as being ALL that divergent, with our heroes returning to a world where Megatron rules all and forced to learn how to use new, techno-organic bodies in order to combat him. Given the stress of the situation, I thought it wasn’t really THAT much of a stretch that the character’s personalities would change so much given the trauma of what had happened. Ah well.
A cartoon you don’t like but everybody else seems to.
That would be the Looney Tunes Show. At times I feel like the only person on Earth who just wasn’t impressed with it. I mean its not horrible or anything, but I feel like I’m the only person around who wasn’t all that wowed by it when it came out.
A cartoon you wish would be forgotten.
Sausage Party. For being a simplistic, puerile, overhyped puddle of mediocrity, it deserves to be swept into the dustbin of history.
The worst cartoon you’ve ever seen, and why?
You know, I had to give this some thought, but that would have to be Mr. Pickles. Mr. Pickles is basically an amalgamation of everything you could ever hate about ‘adult’ cartoons in the US- it’s ugly, unpleasant and pointless. The humor is one note and entirely reliant upon grossing people out in the most nauseating ways possible, and there is literally no one to root for- the dog is the Devil, every human being alive is monstrous, ugly and stupid, the only person who is clued in on this is a feeble old man who lives to be bested and tormented by the devil dog, and given how awful everyone and everything around him is you’re just left to wonder why he bothers. Everything about this series is just irredeemably, endlessly unpleasant.
The worst moment you’ve ever seen happen in a cartoon.
That would be the ‘Bunny Pajamas’ incident in Hey Arnold. See, there was this episode where quite by accident, Arnold discovered that Iggy, the coolest kid in school, liked to wear Bunny Pajama when sick. After having the information pried out of him by Sid and Stinky, Iggy forces Arnold to walk out in Bunny Pajamas in public as a means of forgiveness, utterly humiliating him in the process. What’s worse is that Sid and Stinky only *guessed* the truth. There was just... nothing after that. No resolution or anything. It was just a weirdly mean-spirited of an otherwise excellent series.
The worst thing you’ve ever seen happen to a cartoon that ruined it.
The love triangle nonsense in Legend of Korra. I just... couldn’t let myself be invested anymore after it, I just couldn’t. I learned to detest everybody involved, and so I left the series before it could fester any further.
A cancelled/forgotten cartoon you would bring back to television.
I have to pick just one? Geeze... well, I’m gonna break with tradition, and say War Planets. WE DESERVE AN ACTUAL RESOLUTION DAMMIT!
An animated character you remember but nobody else seems to.
Nilus the Sandman. I seriously feel like the only person who remembers that this guy was ever a thing.
An animated character you hate the most, and why?
Hmm... that would have to be Cheese. It was bad enough that this utterly useless and unspeakably obnoxious little cretin got more and more screentime on the show, but as time went on he practically became the mascot for Cartoon Network. He represents everything you could possibly hate about a character, and more importantly, the tendancy for executives to latch on to the lowest hanging fruit in the name of grabbing attention and views.
A non-animated property you would like to see as a cartoon
Oh, that’s easy- Starfox. I’ve always, always wished that there had been a Starfox cartoon out there and given the time the first game was released, I’m kind of amazed we never got one.
A trope or trend in animation that you dislike.
I’m not all that fond of the reatreat from action toons that has been going on for a while now, or the fact that cartoons are increasingly focused on comedy at the expense of everything else. It’s not so much that I don’t like comedy or anything like that, but I just prefer there to be a bit of variety and feel a genuine regret that things like Batman: The Animated Series or SwatKats are increasingly becoming a phenomenah of the past. Well, who knows, maybe Netflix will give toons like that a place to thrive- Young Justice will be coming back, after all. Here’s hoping that starts a trend, or rather, RE-starts a trend.
A currently airing cartoon that you know is going to be forgotten about in the future.
Pickle and Peanut. And thank God for that.
The best episode of a cartoon you really like.
Code of Hero, Beast Wars. One of the best Transformers anything ever, this is always gonna be a favorite.
The worst episode of a cartoon you really like.
Ro-Becca, from Sonic the Hedgehog. I love you SatAM, always will, but good GOD we could have done without that one.
A cartoon you feel deserves more recognition than it gets.
Disney’s Gummi Bears. Besides the fact that this series is what really got the ball rolling with Disney’s major TV rennaissance, the series itself is really quite incredible from both a visual and storytelling standpoint, especially with regards for the time that it was released. Despite having a fairly typical ‘Gang of Critters’ setup for the time, right down to each character being named for a trait (Gruffi, Tummi, Cubbi etc), every one of the Gummi Bears has a lot more going on than the surface would indicate, and there is a maturity to the worldbuilding and storytelling that belies what its name and appearance would suggest. Besides that, Princess Calla has to be one of the most badass princesses ever to grace television. This series is a gem, and its a shame it isn’t remembered and recognized more than it is.
A cartoon you feel deserves less recognition than what it gets.
Sausage Party. I’m mentioning it twice, but it really does not deserve the hype it got or the kind of reviews it got. In the history of adult oriented animation in the US, Sausage Party brings nothing new to the table beyond re-affirming that tired stereotype that ‘mature’ animation must be the most puerile and juvenile minded tripe out there. Everything from its supposed themes to the nature of its humor is just sub-par, and I will never, ever view it as anything more than a cheap gimmick film that banked on novelty rather than anything worthwhile.
The worst idea you can think of for an animated series.
Lara-Su Chronicles- The Series!
At what point did you realize a cartoon, any cartoon was starting to get bad?
Well, like many, I started to realize things were going downhill in the ‘03 Ninja Turtles cartoon once we reached the Flash Forward season. Now to be clear, I didn’t think it was a bad premise, and a lot of the ideas and designs in the season had a lot of promise. Unfortunately, that promise wasn’t really met- the season lacked a certain spark that those before it had. The magic was gone, replaced by something that just didn’t do the series justice. I lost track after that season, and from the looks of it I was right for doing so.
An experience with a cartoon you thought you were going to like but turned you away from it.
Wolverine and the X-men. See, I like X-men. I like Wolverine. So surely, I should like this right? Well, initially I did... but as time went on, Wolverine became less and less tolerable, particularly since it felt like Cyclops was getting shit on as a character to make Wolverine look better even though their dynamics were now completely opposite from what it had traditionally been. Which could have been interesting mind you, but nothing of worth was really done with it. I abandoned the series and never looked back.
Something you would like to see more than anything in a cartoon.
Hmmm... this is a fandom specific one, but honestly? I’d love to see a Transformers cartoon that does the old ‘Cybertronians Become Human’ bit, but to *actually* do it and explore the concept in a mature way, to explore how immortal war machines respond to suddenly becoming frail, short lived humans and all too aware of the fact, as well as learning how to endure a human existence. Maybe someday it will happen, but for now, I can but wish.
What do you feel makes a cartoon forgettable?
I think more than anything, writing and plotting can be the key to if a cartoon is remembered or forgotten. Being overly reliant on stock plots and playing it too safe more than anything can make a cartoon bland or cliched. I mean don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot more to it than that, but this is I think more than anything is what leads to a lot of cartoons winding up forgotten.

Lion Grandpa: Reinhardt Headcanons
He's the sweetest person you'll ever meet ever and one of the most fun. He's like everyone's cool grandpa and best friend and it's amazing.
He and Ana had a romantic relationship when they were younger. Things ended after Ana's presumed death and it hurt him the most, right behind Pharah, to find out she was alive and never told him.
Reinhardt has watched most of D. Va's videos and is one of her biggest fans, it's adorable.
Reinhardt is the cuddliest man alive, it's insane. He loves hugs and gives the best hugs out of anyone (unless he's emotional. Then that bear hug becomes bone crushing in a nearly literal sense)
To every new recruit in Overwatch, Reinhardt was the first person to meet everyone and easily becomes everyone's first friend. Seriously, he's the most welcoming and the easiest to talk to, so he kinda made it his personal job to welcome everyone and make them feel like they belong. Everyone has a place and he'll help everyone find it.
Ana taught him how to knit
Animals just love him, it's absolutely precious to see. He'll be walking down the street and just have a line of stray cats and dogs behind him. If he's going through the park, then ducks are added to the mix. He doesn't even discourage it, he loves it and has to be firmly told that, no, he can't keep the fifteen cats that followed him back to the base.
He snores. Not at loud as you think, but you can definitely still hear it
He's super good with kids, especially younger kids who just think he's the coolest person of all time. Every year around the holidays, he actually reads to less fortunate kids and has dressed up at Santa before for the occasion
He loves to laugh and to make jokes, whether the jokes are good or bad.
He can cook and he can do so really well, it's incredible, to the point where everyone is excited if he makes something. Only problem is that they'll have leftovers for days because he makes a lot
He and Torbjörn get along super well and I can just see them as drinking buddies who laugh too loudly and tell everyone stories of the old days like a hundred times
Loves older movies and music (he's tried getting Lúcio into it to), but he can just as easily get into newer things like some of D. Va's games
He's a very emotional man. Example, after getting over the hurt over Ana, he did cry and hug her out of sheer relief
He's gotten hurt so much in battle solely because he will run in front of everyone and anyone to protect them, be it a civilian or fellow fighter. He's probably seen Mercy the most because of it all
He knew Mercy's parents before they died and sort of stepped in as a family figure for her after it all.
This man is basically a big child a lot of the time. He just loses it whenever a holiday is coming up, loves sweets, adores small animals, stuffed animals, everything. It's adorable.

New Post has been published on Cloudlight
New Post has been published on https://cloudlight.biz/cartist-a-confluence-of-modern-art-and-automobiles/
Cartist' : A Confluence Of Modern Art and Automobiles
From the likes of the Mona Lisa at the Louvre to the roof of the Sistine Chapel to the Ellora Caves in Maharashtra or even the architectural shape of the Taj Mahal, art can be a variety of things to a diffusion of human beings. Art experts commonly preserve the view that motors (or transportation in popular) can never be art, but of course, every person who has ever visible a Jaguar E-Type or a Ferrari 250 GT Short Wheel Base up near can contradict that announcement. But what about the use of automobiles as a base for artwork. What about taking an automobile and making it right into a blank canvas to make artwork on. A small group in Jaipur called Cartist is doing exactly that, and lots greater
Cartist is an exhibition of artwork inside the pink metropolis
Jaipur that evolves constantly through the weekend. And as the name suggests, the topic is quite apparent – the auto. And it isn’t the who’s who of the art global that congregate on the occasion to make art, it’s far certainly more often than not art students. There are even specialists who offer them with a direction in terms of what to do, the way to do it and of path, what not to do while developing those masterpieces. And yes, they may be masterpieces. In truth, there are some canvas art work that we saw on the occasion that made our jaws drop with the type of sheer detail they carried and the kind of situation matter that a confluence of contemporary Indian artwork and vehicles ought to painting
Its now not just canvas art even though. Cartist additionally has a mix of stone sculptures
Set up art (that has been produced from a set of vintage and as a substitute worthless Bajaj scooters) and even cord frame art. In fact, the wire body art pieces, possibly the finest we’ve got ever visible in India carry alive a Type 1 Jaguar E-Type Coupe and an AC Cobra. Having pushed a Type 1 Jaguar E-Type Coupe and been fortunate enough to spend an enormous time around one, the eye to detail is clearly spectacular! From the electricity bulges on the hood to the louvers that flank it, to the gasoline filler starting and the tail gate that opens sideways, each unmarried element has been stuck with surprising stages of detail
Himanshu Jangid, the founder of Cartist has gone above and beyond to promote automobile art however donating three of his traditional motors for the cause changing them into massive canvases that artists can come and draw on. One of those vehicles, a very very unique Mercedes-Benz S-Class Fintail from the Sixties is usually the form of car that nobody would dream to paint and draw on through hand, but with students flocking towards it to give it their own contact, we are certain that it’s going to emerge as one of the coolest and most unique conventional automobiles in the u .

Fibonacci Support, Resistance, & the Power of Confluence
Leonardo Pisano, higher known via his nickname Fibonacci, posted Liber abaci in 1202 wherein he posed the subsequent trouble:
A positive guy places a couple of rabbits in a place surrounded on all aspects through a wall. How many pairs of rabbits may be constructed from that pair in a yr if it is meant that every month every pair begets a new pair, which from the second one month on will become productive?
The resulting series is 1, 1, 2, three, 5, eight, thirteen, 21, 34, 55,… Every number in the collection is the sum of the two numbers previous it. He also discovered that each number within the collection is 1.618 instances the preceding number and.618 of the next number.
Many technicians use the Fibonacci numbers whilst trying to decide support and resistance, and normally use.382,50, and.618 retracements.
It is typically believed that a.382 retracement from a fashion pass will have a tendency to mean a continuation of the fashion. A.618 retracement implies that a trend trade can be inside the making. Technicians have adopted many such policies. My approach is distinct in that I do no longer use Fibonacci retracement numbers to decide the fashion. My long-term trend is determined through an easy 89-period moving average. It is effective from a one-minute chart to a month-to-month chart. This moving common is the literal battleground among the bulls and bears.
My method for figuring out help and resistance within the path of the primary trend (that is continually determined by fees either above or beneath the lengthy-term easy 89 lengths transferring average.) Most charting packages will enable you to create a simple 89-length transferring common. I encourage you to study the market this manner.
My approach is distinctive in calculating support and resistance than the standard ratios with which most investors are acquainted. More accurate because of the usage of greater data points and the manner the ratios are calculated. I include as many as seven swing highs and swing lows in addition to the vast high points and large low factors within the calculations.
Let’s assessment the approach I use to calculate aid and resistance stages. The first component I need to identify is a trend move, i.E. A sizeable excessive factor to a tremendous low factor or vice versa. These factors are the acute obstacles of the fashion.
The Importance Of Cell Phones In Modern Society
Cell phones have turn out to be a need for many people for the duration of the arena.

The Environmental Benefits of Automobile Recycling
Green living refers to an interest that contributes to minimizing or getting rid of pollutants from the environment and improving personal health and energy. There are many sports that can have a high-quality impact at the surroundings, along with ingesting organically grown food, selecting paper baggage instead of plastic luggage, recycling beer cans, putting in an environmentally friendly ground in your property or riding a gasoline green car. A recent emerging fashion is recycling of vehicles to obtain a greener environment.
When the majority of motors have outlived their usefulness, they’re taken to scrap yards wherein the cars are shredded and the ultimate fabric (primarily comprising of iron and metal) is then recycled back into motors, appliances, and other merchandise. Automobiles make one of the most recycled products in the international as three out of four tons of new steel is made from recycled metallic. Other car elements along with brake pads, shoes, oil filters, rubberized seals, polyurethane seat foam, seat covers, ground mats, rims, windshield glass and aspect home windows glass can also be recycled to be used in new automobiles.
Automobile recycling confers endless advantages on the environment.
It facilitates keep natural resources and protects the surroundings from infection by using recycling usable components and elements. It enables lessen water and air pollutants and saves landfill space. As vehicle recycling minimizes the want for processing virgin materials, it helps lessen greenhouse gasoline emissions in particular sulfur dioxide that have detrimental results on the environment and human fitness.
Automobile recycling makes use of far less power than that needed for car manufacturing. This, in flip, reduces the quantities of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and different carbon compounds launched into the ecosystem and facilitates preserve valuable reserves of gas, coal, and oil. Recycling cars and their spare components can shop as much as eighty million barrels of oil and 40000 tons of coal a yr.
