#He got a little spooked

[fridayyy-13th]

i swear sometimes i think people forget that Jon's s1 skeptic act was just that—an act. it was an act!!! he believes the statements!! he's believed them since episode one! do we so soon forget that he denied the statements were real because he knew the Eye something wanted him to be scared, and he knew that was bad, so he decided to act like the statements just didn't scare him? remember, he was working with extremely limited information ("when i record the tape statements, i feel watched, like something knows i'm afraid, and i don't want it to know that"), and came up with a genuinely solid solution with what he had! not his fault that the thing watching him was a literal unknowable eldritch entity that feeds on fear, and he was just some underqualified archivist.

#sorry. saw a post and got a little angry about it #like bro! he literally tells martin in a fan-favorite conversation that it! was! an! act! #we KNOW he's believed in the supernatural since age eight! #i'm so tired of the ''lol haha jon didn't believe the OBVIOUSLY real statements but they still spooked him'' posts #i will not take this blorbo slander #leave my guy alone he tried his best. and was scared out of his mind while doing it #the magnus archives #jonathan sims #friday chats #it's like 1:30 am if this is moderately incoherent don't come at me

Btw I have no idea if it’s known about in the wider fandom, but there’s a sizable amount of riddler-centric fics on AO3 where he adopts Steph after he kills/otherwise maims her father. There isn’t a point to this I just thought you all should know about it

#spook speaks #riddler fans said give this neurotic little man a child NOW!!!!!!!!!!!! #idk I just think they’re so fun to see #we should do that with other rogues too tbh. Two-face takes in baby Jason after killing his dad because he didn’t know he had a son #and Jason tries to maul him every step of the way #who else lemme think. uhh #Harley taking in baby dickiebird as a favor to her good pal Bruce from medical school #(she never ends up as Harley Quinn but probably ends up dating Poison Ivy regardless) #literally Any rogue accidentally acquiring Tim and trying to hand him off because he’s deranged #Tim still ends up a Robin btw and rocks up to beat his rogue parent’s ass on the regular #(they are Very proud) #Duke meeting Ivy during We Are Robin and getting support from her in exchange for a little help committing ecoterrorism #because Harley thinks he’s got spunk and Bud and Lou seem to like him too #idk. consider it

oh, it's been a while since this happened

#ts4 #the sims 4 #sims 4 #simblr #oc: john #hey remember when gtw first came out and aliens were abducting left and right #until they overtuned it and it never really happened again? #i will be on the record that john got abducted damn near all the time back then #that pollination tech was putting in the goddamn work i'll say that much #anyway nothing happened but he was a little spooked and ended up having a fear of the dark after he was returned

When the paladins were hearing “the song of the void”, it was pidge and hunk who didn’t hear it (i think). However, in s1 ep1, Keith arguably almost killed the paladins by doing a nosedive on other his hover bike (which I thought was hilarious), Or maybe he’s just that skilled that they were no where near death

((as a quick refresher to save anyone who sees this from having to re-read the entire druidic lab arc, Lotor, Shiro, Keith, & Lance all heard the not-rhyahl's cry, while Allura, Hunk, Matt, & Pidge did not))

“I couldn’t see it before- the common thread, I mean. Only half our party heard that creature’s cry, and though it was no true rhyahl, I suppose it must have been rhyahl enough to possess Sa’s tongue… Sa Kyl, the druids call it: the Song of the Void. While named for the catatonic state induced by that creature which once walked Daibazaal’s scorched earth, the term was extended to include those unseen battles fought by warriors from all walks of life; though the particulars of that which one fights may vary, the aftereffects are not dissimilar. [...] The ancients believed that once Sa has had a taste of you, she never quite forgets.” - Lotor, Little Blade, chapter 22

I,,, really don't equate that s01ep01 jump with anything even remotely close to the severity of Naxzela. While it was certainly something that scared the hell out of Pidge/Lance/Hunk in the moment, it was still a far cry from being a near-death experience; Keith really is, as you say, "that good" and it's evident from the confidence with which he executes the maneuver.

[[ Hunk: "Guys? Is that a cliff up ahead?" / Keith: "Yup." / Hunk, Lance, Pidge: "Nononono-!" ]]

Look at that face?? That little smirk as he accelerates?? Keith has every confidence in his skill as a pilot, and that jump (as we later learn, when we see his pre-Kerberos memories of Shiro) isn't something he did because he'd run out of options and had no other way to escape his pursuers, but rather a move taught to him years ago by the Garrison's golden-boy himself, and therefore likely something he's practiced and perfected ever since.

But think of it this way: you've probably had a handful of theoretical close calls in your life yourself—perhaps you stepped out into the road when you shouldn't have and almost got clipped by a car, for example—and while those situations in all likelihood had your heart beating a mile a minute, they don't necessarily traumatise you in the way that it would were you actually hit by the car,,,,,, or, say, seconds away from flying into a magical space-barrier with the intention of turning both your ship and yourself into a bomb all to prevent a substantially bigger bomb plated by your enemy from detonating and blowing up everyone you love.

#despite canon definitely having underplayed (read: not addressed) the emotional fallout of naxzela after the fact— #—the moment of near-impact itself actually was built up to beautifully with a level of severity befitting what Keith was intending to do— #—whereas the cliff-diving scene was never given anything //close// to that sort of weight (consider the music/framing/narrative) #keith didn't ''arguably'' almost kill anyone: the maneuver was perfectly executed to the extent that at no point was he even faintly fazed #there's a distinct and resounding difference between a frightening experience and a //traumatic// one #the kids got a little spook courtesy of keith but they were hardly on death's doorstep y'know? #Ao3 Little Blade #sa screams back #keith kogane #team voltron

I like to think that for a time before he got decent control over his Vision, every time Bennett got a bleeding injury, there would IMMEDIATELY be a little flare of fire right over it that cauterized the wound immediately. Scarring it for sure unless he could get to the church fast enough. He didn’t see a problem with it until it happened in front of his dads, and they IMMEDIATELY gave him a slew of reasons to please Never Do That Again.

#hc; bennett #blood mention tw #//Dude gets hit with a hilichurl arrow and yanks it out; WHOOSH; plume of fire #//His dads prolly noticed while he tried sparring w them or Kaeya; accidentally got nicked & the little abrupt flame spooked the lot of 'em #//Benny never thought twice abt it; esp considering how he got his Vision

I forgot to lock up my coop tonight so there I was, running out to my backyard at 11:30 at night to make sure everyone was alive. everyone was fine, but there was an opossum in the run that I had to wake my mom up to help me chase out. I’m so fucking lucky a fox or something didn’t come around and kill all the birds

#the one time I don’t have intrusive thoughts about the coop being secretly unlocked and something comes and kills the birds because of my r #and THIS is how I’m repaid??? #but fr that opposum scared the shit out of me #it was cute but also the size of a cat so I got spooked #and I couldn’t remember if they preyed on chickens #but poor little buddy was just trying to steal a fake egg and I chased him into corners with cinder blocks #I hope he has a good rest of his night I really do #just don’t fuck with my girls #even now I’m panicking that I forgot to lock one of the doors even though I’m pretty sure I did

Danny’s most important traits in Formaldehyde are his undying loyalty towards the people around him, a fundamental misunderstanding of how the world works and how he’s perceived within it, and an unstoppable desire to be loved.

Like, the reason he starts his entire revenge quest is because of how what the JL did affected Jazz and his friends. He was perfectly fine with just chilling with the Penguin and Derringer beforehand, but when he saw Jazz in Arkham? All bets were off. Villain arc GO

The reason he continues his quest so feverishly is because of the family he’s found along the way. Every single person working with him is someone he would trust with his life, someone he considers family, and he doesn’t understand that they feel the same way about him.

He genuinely, honestly believes the only reason anyone (minus Jazz) sticks around him is because they want something from him. Power, weaponry, a means for vengeance. He thinks that if he abandons his quest, not only will all his efforts be for nothing, but his family will leave him.

And so, he can never stop what he’s started. He’s in too deep, he loves too strongly, he can’t stop until the people he loves finally have what they want. Maybe if he provides them with the vengeance they so deeply desire, they’ll humor his love after everything’s over. They’ll still pretend to be his family.

#spook speaks #I LOVE this funky little dude #he’s got so much mental illness #then again what would you expect from the boy who was a lab rat for 3 years of his life #comparatively he’s very well adjusted

“Gyaa!”

The pseudo-saiyan startles slightly at the sudden exclamation, breaking the deep level of concentration and focus he had been maintaining while playing around with his alteration-type ki, as well as causing the magenta-colored energy to dissipate. Black took a moment to calm his nerves a bit before whirling around to face the color-shifted fusion, more than a little peeved at having allowed himself to be so easily spooked.

“You,” he snaps, somewhat cantankerously after calming down a bit from that earlier scare “What is it that you want?”

#cosmicerroraftermath #[Possible New Verse Tag Pending?] #I decided to take this in a slightly more 'comedic' direction since it's unrelated to what we have going on at this time (...I think?) #I would imagine that Black can't sense Vegito since he's comprised of something entirely different than most beings/things #but also- It's not like he was trying to search for people anyway because he was so engrossed in what he was doing so- #-being startled out of it was sort of an inevitability :v #He'll be fine- He's just a little annoyed that he got spooked/had his concentration ruined

Is it cool if I keep asking for your hcs? They’re pretty fun tbh. I got excited seeing the notification for the last one and they did not disappoint. Maybe I’ll ask for Alpha Dave this time because he’s pretty fun in your fic. I love his characterization a lot! Mom Lalonde would be nice too but hmm, maybe next ask? Or do both if you’d like to. It’s really up to you.

I just really like your guardians hehe.

Of course!!!! Honestly it is a lot of fun for me and it gives me an excuse to talk because, you know! Tbh it's the first time anyone has asked me in depth about any of the silly stuff I spend all my time thinking about, so I kind of love it! (also please always ask abt the guardians, i really like them, too!!)

WARNING THIS GOT AWAY FROM ME AFTER ALL IT’S VERY LONG I’M SORRY

SO: Alpha Dave (in context of rng)

A!Dave (and Bro) broke his nose when he was 13, for plot reasons, so his nose is slightly crooked (lists to the left)

He is Tall and hunches constantly because he hates being the tallest person in the room but no he doesn't but yes he does

Also it makes it easier to talk to people shorter than him

He can in fact fit into alpha Rose's clothes

He's a nail biter

This man has anxiety

He didn't get his glasses until he met Ben Stiller obviously so before that he would just wear very funny plastic sunglasses

Speaking of plastic this man own nothing but plastic cups EXCEPT

He owns one Whataburger mug that he has had since he was 10

He slept on John Crocker's floor for like, 4 years when he said he was going to college (he did not go to college)

This man did not even bother finishing high school

The Con Air Museum was a birthday present for John (he never got to see it in person)

Absolutely refuses to eat the crusts on his pizza and leaves them lying around the house for weeks until someone else picks them up

Only owns 7 pairs of socks god help him

Yes some of them have no heel

Also Left-handed for obvious reasons

collected Zoobooks until the fall of the humanity meant the publishing company went under

He keeps them in the back of his closet where no one but him will ever know

The secret to guardians is that they are duty-bound to their "kid", even if it means dying for them (example Mr bro bad man strider) but their separation over time and a whole life lived has caused Dave (and Rose) to lose most of that. Interpret any changes after meeting Dirk as you will

He is really bad with kids, mostly because

Dave Strider does not like kids

He does not like talking to kids, does not know how to talk to kids, because by the time he died at 65, there were no kids left for him to talk to, and he is just. Kind of a weird dude

My man has not had an apple juice in literally 16 years

Also to reference my last post, the alpha guardian formula [(2024+4n)-1995+t] means he and Rose were 65 when they died, according to RNG canon

He also broke his arm when he was 12 :)

He has never been to Disneyworld but used to take himself to Disneyland once a year for Christmas, sometimes Rose if she would fly out for him

He used to work in a record shop in Houston

This man can cook even less than Mom Lalonde

all his chapter titles have a theme

He does not like puppets but his proximity to Dirks (and Bro) are giving him pretty much unwanted exposure therapy lmfao

His favorite soda is Cherry Cola :)!

This man has never wanted anyone to like him as much as he desperately wants every iteration of Dirk Strider to like him

He is more interested in getting his own way than placating people, and this causes him to routinely mow over other people's thoughts and feelings

If he realizes he cannot get his way this way, he switches to Being Nice

He cannot (will not) stop following after Bro Strider like a lost dog after a bone no this will not change

It's fucked up but he is genuinely jealous that, at times, Dirk appears to get along better with Bro than he does with Dave

He uses strawberry scented shampoo

But still buys cvs brand detergent yes even now

He has scars across his knuckles in the exact same pattern as Bro Strider

He's also got the same scar across his palm as Bro :)

Only ties his shoes into bunny ears

There was a time when the alpha guardians did not know that their lil packages would never arrive

Can sleep literally everywhere on everything

Undisclosed back injury that causes bouts of sciatica from time to time

Is 120% more likely to accidentally kill a person than Bro Strider, but both of them have that kind of control you only get from a lifetime of not being particularly kind to yourself

Not afraid of blood

Has always wanted to go to a candy store

Actually likes driving BUT

Possibly the second most reckless driver out of all the guardians, after Mom Lalonde

Has some fucked up way of viewing both the Daves through the lens of his younger self, but unfortunately for all Daves, dead (or recently back to life) daves are the enemy

Did not learn how to swim until he was in his teens

Alpha Rose Lalonde was his only friend for like 20 years and my god, it shows

It is actually so fucking funny to me that bro spent so long trying to get Dave to stab him, on purpose, and yes this is also about Bro but mostly about Dave, and yes, he was in fact hoping Dave would stab him, and he was also a little disappointed that Dave had enough control to stop himself

Probably also impressed

Dave thought he was fucking insane (he is) and thus felt guilty every single fucking time because it's just a Dirk (bad)

But also at the same time has the same compulsion as Bro to like. Poke him until one of them gets stabbed by a sword, on purpose.

Wears a watch for the funnies

I really like the concept that Dave and Rose both maintained some kind of connection to their aspects but for Dave who never had a connection to the horrorterrors or Light (fortune), he mostly came across as what I am currently calling "a Failed Knight" (thus my joke about the old knight adage, "service without complaint")

Has a tendency to put things into his pockets instead of his sylladex without thinking about it

Started smoking younger than Bro

Pall malls, always, shitty on purpose, yes

Learned to sit still during [redacted] but has since pretty much lost that ability and is now completely fucking unlikely to stand still for longer than necessary unless it's like

Performative

I think he is more likely to yell than Dave, because that cold anger is a Learned Trait, and I think he has a lot to be angry about

He absolutely is going to need bifocals one day never before has a man squinted so much as a computer screen for so long

Coffee is half his diet

His favorite color is blue

stardust is an intentional parallel of neptunium

Remember that time Dave beheaded a juggalo president and no one talks about it what the fuck is up with that

He also has a fucked up death scar but I think I already said that

Thank you for asking I'm realizing I could go forever so I'm stopping here

#help i got too excited #not character meta but not as funny as i wanted it to be #ANYWAY #thank u #alpha Dave is my special little princess (number 2) #the run and go fic #yes #also whispers in my own tags i see a lot of people thinking of bro spooking d as him ''testing'' him but i am sorry to tell u he was just #kind of hoping d would kill him a little lol #sorry #well not that sorry but yes sorry #once again not a meta post but still it makes me kind of chortle to myself when i read the comments

Thinking abt that one scene we get of Luc interrogating the Abyss mage with Traveller, but make it Kae, showing Traveller he can speak their language, but also just how vicious he can be when it comes to beings he hates-

#☆ ┆ ( .ooc. ); #//Thinking of that one trope of a person going Too Damn Far and their beloved having to reel them back from goin Ape Shitt #//Traveller is the only one he can really show this off to; save maybe Dainsleif #//But considering how his interaction with Dain went... #//We already got a Glimpse of it immediately at Diluc's introduction #//The way he was smiling as he sent Traveller and Paimon on their way; then hung back to confront the mage and his face did a fucken Change #hc; kaeya #//I'd have to wonder how he would have treated it had Diluc not decided to intervene #//In my idea; he might not actually intend to show them his vicious side; rather happening bc the mage provoked him one way or another #//In their conversation; saying smth to set him off and Traveller gets one Helluva spooking at his sudden change #//Esp since they're so used to him being charming and a little mean and taunting if anything #//Mans'd feel his heart Drop if Traveller goes to far as to grab onto him to stop him from going too far and Really torturing them #//Esp if he gets a near maddened light in his eyes; so caught up in his anger and resentment of the Order #//Esp knowing what it meant to his family; and being reminded of what Purpose he was left in Mond for
