“I don't understand it either, Babybird”

(to be continued)

⌜ A Keigo takami x GN!Villian!Reader story ⌟

⌜ angst 🕊️🥀 (?) ⌟

⌜Summary; Hawks falls in love with someone who he knew he has to turn in. He doesn't understand his feelings with you⌟

⌜ ex; this isnt really a fic, but a writing practice to show people how I write and stuff. ⌟

“It shouldn't have been you of all people. It couldn't be. It just wasn't possible. Right? Of all people in the world, why would I love you?”

“what was so special about you that made me stop that day. What made me hesitant to turn you in? what was it?”

...

"I knew I would get you someday, babybird. it just seems that today was that day. Huh?" Hawks said with a grim tone. His wings still expanded as he made a landing only a few feet from where you were standing. The ground shook slightly once his feet touched the road of Musutafu. There were sirens everywhere. villians on attack which made Japan the main target for danger. which was obvious by the gecko once Japan got it's first bomb threat not long back. The only problem was this was so sudden, nobody saw it coming. Even the Heros of the U.A. hawks noticed you kept quiet, which made his eyebrow twitch into a furrow. making his expression turn from stern to anger. "well, you're just as quiet as I remembered you babybird.. it's a shame really." He hissed between his teeth. It was obvious he was holding back from himself lashing out at you. He was on edge, so of course he was pissed off. You remained silent, as the only thing that filled the air was the sirens and distant screaming of the heros. Hawks stood there with a stern expression while his hair flew with the air that went past the pair. His index finger twitched as he began moving towards you. "..Now, I'm sorry to cut this short, however, you are a danger to society. Just like the rest of the league of villians." He sighed. "So, it'll be easier for me and you to just, let me turn you in. you're under arrest." He said solemnly. This was the final twig that broke your anger, before grabbing a handful of sand from your bag. Which Dabi filled it for emergencies like this one. Without a moment of hesitation, you threw sand into the man's eyes. in which it worked just as you hoped for. Hawks hissed, letting out a screech while the sand burned his eyes. He stumbled back, grasping his face trying to get the substances out his eyes. You took this as a cue to run before Hawks got back up. "Ugh. why can't I use my quirk?.." you hissed under your breath. Shigaraki said that because of their little 'Plan' they were obviously trying to put into action, your job was to not kill anyone. or even injure them. You just had to keep the heros away from trying to stop the gang from making their plan a success. As you ran, Hawks was already in the air. making you his main target. And let me tell you, he wasn't happy. Hawks flew into the air while his wings almost taking up the street's passageway. Your eyes darted everywhere you could see; trying to find anywhere you could hide before hawks found you. It was too late however, just as you were about to make a turn you felt a weight on your figure. Hawks grabbed your shoulder, making his nails dig into your neck and shoulder blade. He shoved his whole weight on top of you, making the both of you to collapse into the street. Hawks got on top of you, making sure you were down before he made the arrest. His wings folded behind his back while he kept his boot firmly against the back of your neck. He couldn't help but chuckle. He remembered how much you boasted that the heros could never get you, yet.. here he was. making you eat your own words. You struggled under his weight, trying to wiggle yourself out from underneath the hero. But it seemed that he got the upper hand rather quickly which made you feel pathetic at your job. How could you have easily been knocked down by a hero? You couldn't even use your quirk if you wanted to. Hawks' left hand slowly traveled to your hands, pinning them down to the cold concrete. As he kept them in a firm grip, his other hand went to his pocket trying to find his handcuffs. As he did, Hawks noticed how much you gave up trying to resist. You both knew there was no use to fighting as it'll make things a lot worse. He let out a quiet sigh before chuckling again. "Sorry babybird.. but it seems that I've.. won this time." he grinned, oh how bad you wanted to slap that grin right off his face. He found the handcuffs and immediately used his teeth to open them from their latch. When successful he locked your hands together. He grabbed your chained hands and slowly put them behind your back. Keeping them secure.

When the Sky Falls

******************************************************** Okay so this will be a little different but here it is...

Summary: Supergirl x Star Girl mash-up based on season one when they are staked out in the cabin but also when they fight eclipso in season two just imagine mass chaos and an old friend calls for help. The catch is that you're also 8 months pregnant, captaining a team helping to save the world. Lena Luthor x pregnant!wife! reader

********************************************************

Brrrr! Brrrr!

You heard a phone going off and felt Lena shift behind you, unwrappping her arms and you no longer could feel her pressed against your back. you glanced at the alarm clock, 2:27am, who is calling at this ungodly hour? "Hello?" she answered. You could hear muffled talking on the other end and then she turned back handing the phone to you. you tried your best to sit up but being 8 months pregnant made it extremely hard so you scooted back resting against the headboard and pillows.

"Y/N Luthor speaking."

"Hey Y/N it's me Pat Doogan, though I knew you as Y/N Avery back then."

"Pat, like Starman's 2nd hand, it's been a while. What's going on it's 2:30 in the morning."

"Yes about that, It's a long story but I need your help and your team. Eclipso got out and I love my stepdaughter but her and her friends can't do this alone."

"Pat, if he's out then he'll be after that staff."

"I know and turns out my stepdaughter now wields it."

"Okay, let me make a few calls, do you know where my old cabin was?"

"Yea but it was small enough for like three people."

"Yea well perks of marrying a billionaire that understands the stress of the superhuman, crimefighting life, she helped me rebuild it. Just trust me it'll fit everyone and it's completely off the grid and high tech go there and hang out until we can get to you."

"Okay, got it, see you soon hopefully."

"Oh trust me you will, you're gonna need us."

You turned to Lena but she already knew, she grabbed the bags from the closet as you got out of bed threw a couple extra things in, and ran them downstairs. You quickly sent out an emergency alert, asking for Wynn, James, Alex, and of course Kara. telling them all to grab their suits and rendezvous at your house, within 20 minutes they were all there ready to go. When arriving at the cabin you saw Pat's car parked and assumed S.T.R.I.P.E. was somewhere nearby in hiding. You saw the lights on and everyone quickly followed behind you and Lena. You could hear arguing in the den you were standing on the balcony above looking down at the scene before you, Pat, another middle-aged blonde woman who you assumed was his wife, a young girl who looked like the woman with wavy blonde hair, a tall boy with disheveled brown hair, and two other girls one Latino with long black braids, and another girl black with short coily hair. You saw blueprints laying on the table before them and you could hear them arguing strategies.

"Well I hate to break up this party but I might be able to help," you started down the stairs. everyine jumped to attention quickly arming themselves, you saw a girl out of the corner of your eye tall, black hair with white highlights, a blade coming from her wrist. "Yes I knew you would make it." Pat quickly made his way over and introduced everyone. "It's been so long and now your married and a baby on the way that's crazy!"

"Yea but that's life," you smiled at Lena, "Anyway everyone this is my team Wynn Schott my technical analyst, Alex Danvers, Len Luthor, James Olsen the guardian, and of course Kara who you all know as Supergirl. I told Pat I would only bring the best." they were all whispering and started to get excited that a Kryptonian was in the same room as them. "Before we go any further Lena and I are glad everyone is here we just wish it was under better circumstances, but villians don;t take days off so lets get eveyine in their bunks and we can figure this out."

"I don't think there's enough bunks though."

"You just need to know where to look," Lena quickly motioned to the wall and it moved revealing and elevator, you stayed uo all night talking strategy and then before you knew it storms started coming and it was time your team needed to move out.

--Time jump--

You were at the cabin with Barbara being the command center, while everyone else was in town, Lena and Wynn took Beth to the town hall to break into mainframes while everyone else was underground fighting, Lena had specially designed suits for everyone to monitor vitals and conditions. Everything was going smoothly until you lost connections to comms and couldn't get them back, vitals started to spike and before you knew it they all went down. Barbara was trying her best to keep calm and help you but moving between screens was becoming harder by the second. You paused a second and shifted in your chair starting to feel a slight tightening, but you blew it off, you needed to get your team and everyone else out alive. You stood up pushed the chair away and continued back to your typing, forgetting the woman behind you.

"Y/N are you okay?" You heard Barbara speak up, forgetting she was there you had allowed yourself to wince, not realizing she saw.

"Yea, it's just hard to be in the dark like this, not knowing if my team or those kids are okay."

"That's not what I meant, you're getting close to your due date which can be stressful enough on the body." She said placing a comforting hand on your back.

"Look I understand the concern but that's my wife, the mother of my child, and my baby's aunts and uncles are down there. I can't sit here trying not to stress myself out when for all I know they could be laying there helpless bleeding out or worse." You felt another pain and this time you knew it was too late, inhaling and taking a deep breath leaning against the desk, almost hitting the floor but feeling her guide you back into the chair.

she bent down in front of you, holding on of your hands. "Trust me, if anyone understands, I do but you're not helping anyone if you're in labor and trying to run a command center by yourself, tell me what to do let me be your hands."

"Okay," you shook your head pitifully at her and started giving her instructions, you stood and started pacing back and forth allowing it to ease the pain while she typed away. Another pain came causing you to stop in your tracks and lean against the far corner of the desk, you tried breathing and a small whine escaped your lips, Barbara watched you out of the corner of her eye, noting that you were getting closer and closer to having this baby. She finished typing her last couple of lines and carefully approached you, you felt her hands slowly massage your lower back relieving some of the pressure. "Okay I think it might be time to move you back upstairs."

"What? No, we need to get connection back."

"Y/N it's trying to restore but if we don't go soon you're gonna have that baby right here, and I don't think you want that?"

You shook your head no, "Just try one more time and if it works we can go upstairs and monitor from one of the tablets."

"One more time," she said studying your eyes and you teared up, you quickly shut them feeling another contraction, and winced as she turned to reboot the program. You both held your breath but then you heard it static and then everything came back at once you watched as the screens lit back up and everyone's pictures and vitals came back online. they quickly transferred to a tablet and Barbara grabbed it moving towards you. You heard her breathe a sigh of relief, and turn to look at you but your face was painted with concern as you looked down, you felt the warm liquid running down your leg and onto the floor, she followed your eyes and then you both looked back up your demeanor suddenly betraying you and breaking from its normal confidence.

"Y/N, your water."

"I....I.." you were speechless. She wrapped her arm around you and quickly took you back upstairs to the master suite. you leaned against the bedpost in pain as she rubbed your back. "Y/N I'm going to call Alex and try to get someone here but unfortunately I'm not sure." you nodded trying to breathe through the pain. She slipped and earpiece in and was talking over the comms, you could only hear what she was saying and the reaction didn't sound good, things started moving fast she was running around grabbing supplies while you fought contractions that were coming on after the other.

20 minutes later Alex and Lena both rush into the room. Alex rushes into the ensuite bathroom washing her hands and asking Barbara questions while Lena rushes to your side, she helps you placing an arm around your back and guiding you onto the bed, she sits behind you and you press into your wife's chest wanting nothing more than this to be over. That's when Alex comes over and helps take your pants, and underwear off. "Y/N this is really going to be uncomfortable but I need to check and see where you're at." You shook your head and waited, feeling her insert two fingers but they didn't make it far before she met your baby's head.

"Okay, Barbara grab some gloves and get over here I'm gonna need some help," Alex climbed up onto the bed in between your legs placing one hand on your knee and the other on your bump. "Y/N I wish this wasn't going to happen here but it looks like this little one wants to meet their mama's a little early."

"It's too early, I have a month left!" you gritted out.

"Well looks like this little one is an overachiever, it'll be okay just on this next contraction I need you to push."

Several pushes, a little bit of blood, and an hour later, "Okay Y/N, stop pushing, I need to...just give me one second."

"What's wrong?" no response so you asked again, no response. "Dammit Alex what's wrong with my baby!"

"Y/N I need you to relax, the shoulder is stuck I'm going to have to check the cord first and then shift the baby but it's going to hurt."

"I don't care, save my baby," she looked at you knowing the danger of the situation, "Alex, you know I trust you with my life so I am telling you now, no matter how loud I scream or how many times I tell you to stop you do what you have to, to save this baby."

"Y/N" you could feel Lena tense behind you. "Do you understand?" she looked at Alex. "No, I said do you understand?"

"Yes."

"Okay then." you gripped Lena's hand and pressed back against her feeling her tears fall, Alex quickly felt for the cord but it wasn't around the neck, now for the hard part. You felt you place two hands on your bump hesitantly and she looked into your eyes, you gave her the go-ahead and closed them gritting your teeth as you felt her start, but that quickly turned into a blood-curdling scream as you felt the pressure on the sore muscles and the baby shifting. "Oh God, I'm okay, I'm okay, God that hurts." You gritted your teeth and felt the baby shift, "Okay Y/N push, go ahead and push." You bore down and pushed with everything you had, feeling the shoulder come loose and the baby slides down. The cry filled the room and Alex wrapped her in one of the white towels laying her on your chest.

"She's here!"

"She?" Lena asked and Alex shook her head.

"We have a daughter, a baby girl."

--Time Jump--

Everyone had returned from defeating Eclipso and Kara was now holding her niece talking to Alex as the rest of the younger team filed in to see. they each got to say hellos before she brought her back into your room. handing her back to Lena and she turned to you, embracing you as Lena watched happily and her daughter cooed.

"I'm so happy for you."

"Thank you Kara, for everything, for getting everyone out alive and making sure my wife made it back for the birth of our baby girl," the two women shared a look, making you laugh. "Oh don't think I didn't notice Lena made it here in five minutes when she should've only made it in 30."

"Oh Love you never miss a thing do you." You all laughed Lena coming in to kiss you.

"So did you pick a name or am I just going to keep calling her nugget?" Kara asked. you all chuckled and you looked at Lena her giving you the okay.

"You can call her nugget all you want," you said handing her back to Kara, "But meet your niece Adira Kara Luthor, it means strong and powerful which is something that I want her to be one day."

"Well I think she has the perfect set of role models for that, don't you nugget." Kara said as the little girl grabbed her finger.

"Oh she definitely does," Lena said wrapping and arm around your waist and leaning down to kiss you.

[mega-ringsandthings-world]

Oh Rings—can I call you rings?— with every Analysis and au you post my mind becomes intrigued you really understand and get to the heart of are favorite sometimes divorced most times fight couple that is Mishanks. I adore it and your post make you day.

But this Loguetown AU... now, that's some sadness and angst waiting to happen. And genius, truly. It makes sense to draw all these pirates and people to the execution and snap them up as they come rushing in. I'm guessing a lot of Marines and civilians died, but I’m sure that was a sacrifice the World Government was willing to make. Did Doflamingo get caught? He’s got friends or at least blood high up, so I assume he wasn’t caught for long.

And I’m certain just as how Shanks isn’t our fun-loving, calculating Yonko, and Mihawk isn’t our ever-bored, apathetic gardener warlord, as we know and love them in the future. Familiar faces will definitely have differing personalities, yet to face the horrors of paradise and the new world, yet to have their Sabaody arc(or maybe this is their Sabaody) and oh Mihawk you ambitious, vicious, little teen you. I can’t wait for you to earn your new epithet, i’m sure it will be… bloody. And I’m also assuming in this timeline that whoever decides to bring him the offer becoming a warlord is laughed at and then bisected for the gull.

Also total forgot Dragon. Mans is in his prime.. I’m sure he got away maybe he even run into a blue haired red nosed clown? Maybe not we can only guess but ahh that’s the fun of it! Who lives who dies who becomes a revolutionary? pirate? who gives up? that’s what it is really all that aren’t they?

All that to say, I love this au I will now place it delicately into my one piece brain au folder we’re it will be chewed on like a pit bull with lock jaw.

Rings is great! I have to say, I'm thrilled my mishanks posts are such a hit, with you and everyone else enjoying them! I was having fun putting my random thoughts on them out there, and now it's even more fun. Angst and sadness is the key! Maybe it's horrible (and I'm not apologizing for that, lol) but I love drama and discord and awful high-stake situations. And what can give more angst than messing with Shanks right after Roger's death? And throwing Mihawk in there for the ride? The entire pirates-are-captured-by-the-World-goverment-at-Roger's-execution is one big excuse to get Shanks and Mihawk into Marine custody together, where they have only themselves to rely on. And since they are going to meet and fall in love in Marine captivity (they will be there a while) their dynamic will be more intense from the start. Their natural connection + the trauma bond. There's going to be a huge fight and many dead for sure, because none of those pirates are going quietly, but the marines had a plan from the beginning, of course. If they didn't they wouldn't have been able to take anyone. And I will say that they were also gunning for Shanks specifically. For reasons. The marines/admirals/world goverment will certainly be the villians of the story. Doflamingo knew enough to get out of dodge before anything went down, as did certain other people. Coincidence? Well, maybe not. I do love young!mishanks, so Mihawk and Shanks being earlier versions of themselves is half the appeal about this AU. You can see their older selves in them, but they are younger and there's everything that comes with that. They are not quite the men they will become. (and that goes for all the other characters too!) Which means they can be hurt much, much more easily.

I said this was one of my darkest wips because Bad Things are going to happen to them, it won't just be threats or easily patched wounds. This being their Sabaody is spot-on! Everything will be All Right in the end, but they're going to go through things to get there. Mihawk's rise will be bloody. (so will Shanks') and maybe it's too early to talk about this plot, but they're also going to get revenge. through some interesting means. After what Mihawk suffers in the time spent as a captive, the very idea of him becoming a Warlord would be nothing but the highest insult. (That's not to say that becoming one is off the cards, but that's a different story) Ahh, Dragon. He's one of the ones who gets away, with someone else important. Buggy having got away is crucial, because him being free comes into play later. I don't plan on killing many people, but making them suffer is fair game. And this entire scenario is going to change the course of the future for sure. All that is too say, I have all this I need to write and get out there to you guys already, lol. I love how much you love it!

Kishimoto never meant for Hinata to be seen as Naruto's savior in Pein arc. However, he was also smart enough to be creative about it. By this time, he knew Hinata would be paired off with Naruto, he could have written Hinata with a bit of grace. But Kishi doesn't work like that. To choose to write her confession this way, he showed her to be a silly girl infatuated with the hero, not as a shinobi or someone who cares or thinks of her family or village or anything else. She has been almost invisible prior to this in Shippuden, hardly having any contribution to the narrative or a battle. So this chapter could have served to portray a more well rounded Hinata, but Kishimoto had different plans. Safe plans though. On a surface level, it seems Hinata is doing it out of the force of her love for Naruto, but we get to see how things unravel and it does not show Hinata in a good light.

So while Naruto is battling Pein, it is made clear that Naruto's message has reached the Konohabitants (people of Konoha), and they know what to do, not interfere.

This message has reached Hinata as well.

She is clearly worried, she is sitting there, under the protection of her branch family bodyguard.

We can see that Katsuyu is there with her and her injured slave.

So while Hinata is on this side, on the other side, Inoichi and team have located Pein and need to send teams with chakra sensing type shinobis to look for the exact location.

Well, Hinata is a chakra sensing type.

Right then, to stress on this, Kishi makes Gai's team enter Konoha, and Neji is shown to use Byakugan to recognise Jiraiya's frog, Gamabunta. So we get the impression that a chakra sensing shinobi would have been really able to help.

But then, before anything could happen, we see her doing this.

And then immediately, we see this happening to her.

Hehehe, idc what anyone says, Kishi did it this way for the chuckles, I just know it. You must have seen this happening in cartoons, some foolhardy loser who highly overestimates their abilities would unthinkingly rush in to fight the villian with all the swagger they could muster and get yeeted out in the atmosphere Right Away and then you hear - AAAaaahhhhh... which then slowly fades off into the distance. Always draws chuckles and sniggers, great comic timing. Heh.

Now, just the way Kishi wrote this chapter called 'Hinata's confession', is quite informative of Hinata's feelings for Naruto and Naruto's complete obliviousness of Hinata's existence. We understand that Inoichi has found Pein's location and needs 'chakra sensing type' shinobis in as many teams as possible and they are relaying that message through Katsuyu.

So if Hinata had waited two more seconds, she would have probably been able to contribute to the battle rather than falling on her face with strike one.

Hahaha. Kishi, you genius, you.

He established the whole scene where Shikamaru, Ino, Inoichi, Katsuyu, Shiho etc are planning a smart scheme and following up diligently, actually contributing to the battle. We have already seen Sakura doing her job, helping villagers and the injured (one of her good moments, there are so few and so far apart sigh..), we have seen Konohamaru blast one of the paths of Pein, we have seen Tsunade doing her best saving people, we have already seen Kakashi and team fight Pein intelligently and creatively, and then we see Hinata who is literally just sitting there. How exactly do we see her contribute to anything?

So as we see Kishi developing this battle arc, we have seen how various Konohabitants have contributed to the battle, and we have gotten a strong sense of how absolutely devastatingly strong Pein is, and then we see Hinata charging in like a lunatic, while the others are hatching plans and schemes and actually using their training to somehow defeat Pein.

Yes, Hinata is emotionally driven to protect Naruto and can't think logically but her short sightedness almost got Naruto killed. Some confession. Heh.

If only she had shown some patience and mental acuity, something shinobis are actually trained in. She would have been able to help Naruto and somehow contribute to the battle. But well, that has never been Hinata's strong suit.

Thing is, she admits she is being selfish. She Knows whatever she is doing won't help anyone. She knows she can't hope to defeat or even delay Pein. And she obviously isn't able to help Naruto. She went there to die, she knew she probably would die, so might as well confess to Naruto before either he died at the hands of Pein or her. If she really wanted to help Naruto, she would have used her abilities to hatch a plan of action. Or devised some creative trick. Or something that she knew would have at least a miniscule chance at succeeding. Not what she did.

But well, that's not how Kishi wrote her. Never intended to. He always meant to portray her as a wallflower, someone whose everything revolves around Naruto, who stalks him from a distance, who only shows courage and motivation to fight when Naruto is looking, who does nothing to make her presence felt.

What's even funnier is Kishi establishes this right away. How? With the panel cover of this chapter.

This is Hinata. In a chapter called her Confession.

Sitting there, nervously balled up while not even looking directly at Naruto. Naruto turned away from her, going about his business without even being aware of her existence. How the touch of his distinctly drawn mere passing shadow makes her curl her toes and blush uncontrollably. Like a shy little girl in throes of a high school crush. When Kishimoto said in one of his interviews that Hinata is someone who watches from the shadows, he didn't mean it only figuratively lol. 'Hinata - the shadow girl'. That man cracks me up, the joker.

The visual language says everything you need to know.

He couldn't even be bothered noticing her on his own, is it any wonder that Naruto doesn't respond to her confession?

What are some "problematic" ships you like?

do you really want to know because I have some really problematic ships? If so I'll tell you. A lot of them have age differences. Sometimes big ones. A lot of them are with evil people. And a lot of them aren't straight. And lot of them are just plain, well taboo. This will probably be long so stop reading if you don't want to read an essay.

My problematic ships:

Roy Mustang x Edward Elric Fullmetal Alchemist: ok really problematic straight out of the gate. Not only because of age difference but also because Roy Mustang is technically Ed's boss/superior officer in the military. Not that Ed fully listens to everything Roy says. And Roy constantly teases him about it. Roy is also snake but someone trying to change things for the better. He's also has done a lot of bad things. But so has Ed. They are both to messed up people trying to fix things they've done wrong and they are both intimately aware of that about each other. They both are incredibly brilliant and have in common the type of powers they use. You need to watch Fullmetal Alchemist 2003 to understand(not brotherhood. 2003 first) they are not canon but the canon ships bore me and lack any real romance so there you go.

Luz Noceda x Philip Wittebane: I know I know! This one is really fucked up. So fucked up. And Lunter is my otp. Believe me I know. But I have a dark fascination for this ship. Especially considering every interaction Luz and Philip had. And how much they have in common.. Like this my go to ship for when I want angst and trauma and just to see a dumpster fire. When I want Luz angst. I love Lunter. If Lunter is my happy ending, this ship is if I want tragedy and bad endings. This my depression ship!

Zuko x Happiness avatar the last airbender(anyone who is not Mai because she honestly sucked.) I am not a Mai fan. She is a horrible written character to me personally. And just horrible for Zuko. I mostly love any Zuko ship that has a water tribe sibling in it. But now a days that seems too toxic for people. You can look up the reasons in the anti zutara, anti zukka, anti zuko tag. But Zuko is my favorite character. Anything that gives him happiness makes me happy. Over all this mostly seems toxic because of Zukos past and family. But he had a redemption arc. One of the best. He deserves some happiness as he works hard to change things as fire lord.

Lunter/Luz x Hunter: You understand this needs no explanation. You know the owl house Fandom.

Dipper x Bill gravity falls: Yeah this one is really really bad. I think I have a really messed up taste for romance. Especially where age difference comes into play? Maybe I'm a masochist? Who knows. But I have a soft spot for adhd/autistic characters with older/immortal people. I have a soft spot for immortals/dangerous people protecting said autistic/adhd people.

Bakudeku my hero academia : I have a soft spot for redeemed bullies who actually put in the work to change. One of my favorite movies was a walk to remember.

Just in general a running theme I seem to have in a lot of my problematic ships:

age difference

Gay

power imbalance

In love with the Bully

In love with the villian

And sometimes its just plain taboo, toxic, or just un healthy. But I love it!

Doctor Who Blood Of The Daleks Part 1 + 2 Review

Introduction

New year new me, some might say but as a whovian for me it's been New Year New Desires To Binge Classic Who And Big Finish. It took me only five minutes to fall in love with Paul MacGanns after watching the Camp, Bizarre and fun Doctor Who TV Movie. I wanted more and when I found out some of big finish was free on Spotify it was my lucky day. I aim to listen to 20 Big Finish stories this year and will not back down.

So get strapped in as I briefly review Blood Of The Daleks Part 1 + 2 as a whole story.

What I Liked

As a separate individual stories I'd rate them both 4 Stars but together this is another peak Dalek Story.

I don't know what it is about Doctor Who extended media but Dalek stories just slap so much better outside of the main TV Show. They're actually scary to the point you understand The Doctors fear and caution with them. Especially when it comes to Martez's Daleks as it shows a good example of The Daleks eugenics and supremacist nature. Even with only exclusively the voice of Nicholas Briggs the Daleks are still nerve wracking. I applaud Steve Lyons for his writing here.

Next I have to praise all of the performances, Paul MacGann shines as The Doctor. Without the amnesia and post regeneration symptoms we truly get to know his Doctor. He's not the romantic dreamer in this story he's more like a Tired But Wise Old Sage. Through only a voice performance he impressively manages to show The Doctors old age but also his compassionate nature when it comes to protecting people. I really like his Doctor, his story reminds me of a Greek Tragedy and I'm really excited to listen to more of his performance. I'm do happy and glad Big Finish gave him a second chance as The Doctor. Sheridan Smith As Lucie Miller is an absolute icon. She is super expressive in her performance and brings a lot of personality to the character in so many brilliant ways. If it wasn't for Sheridan I wouldn't be sold on her sassiness and fearless courage. Anita Dobson, Kenneth Cranham and Haley Atwell also give incredible performances and round up the casting well. Nicholas Briggs as well voices The Daleks better then everyone. Everyone is at the best here and because of it the atmosphere it generally feels like visually watching an episode of the show.

The world building especially in part one is so much fun as the planet of Red Rocket Rising is brought to life incredibly despite their being no visuals which is not an easy thing to achieve at all. Through Steve Lyons writing alone I immediately became attached to the planet and routed for The Doctor to do the right thing especially when you realise who is responsible for the state of the planet.

Dislikes

I do not like Lucie And The Doctors dynamic as well developed as the characters are individually their dynamic feels incredibly stale. Lucie and The Doctor are downright nasty to each other for no reason to the point even the characters in the story call it out and say their bickering is becoming unbearing.

I hope other stories are not let down by this dynamic, I infact not only hope but pray because the idea of the timelords forcing Lucie on The Doctor is interesting but not when the pair are downright brutal to each other for no good reason. It falls into tons of tropes with no substance.

Other issues including pacing and the fact that if you put the parts as individual stories they don't stand as strong.

Apart from that I did enjoy both audios though quite a lot and it was a perfect introduction to big finish as I'm now obsessed.

Conclusion

Overall a fun two parter with great villians, great twists, great performances and wonderful world building. I'm really glad that these two were my first ever big finish listens as their an absolute blast.

My rating for both audios would be 4 Stars out of Five

Paul MacGann might become one of my favourite Doctors if I keep binging more of his stuff. So glad Big Finish picked up and gave him his own area.

February Listens are The Horror Of Glamrock And Immortal Beloved. Since its most like New Who I thought and heard S1 Of Lucies adventures free on Spotify would be best to start.

I'm generally excited though especially since Bernard Cribbins is apparently in Horror Of Glamrock.

Bonus:

My user name on Storygraph is melsage1823 and I have a Big Finish listening challenge set up open to any fans who want to join me.

Since this is my first ever year listening to big finish I thought I'd fancy setting a challenge for myself.

[u-n-lucky-being]

This is a rant. Not sure if I'm making sense right now. I'm sorry that I'm posting it but I'm pretty sure that if I keep bottling things up I'm once and for all gonna loose it and the best alternative option to actually opening up to someone is this.

Funny thing about mental breakdowns is that I least you get to learn a little more about yourself.

Today I realized why I love the trope of 'falling in love with a villian/morally grey character' despite that I'm pretty strict about my values, even while reading fiction. The thing is that, no I don't want to fall in love with a 'bad guy', I just want someone who loves me enough to do the things for me that my stupid brain has labeled as 'bad' aka. Setting bounderies.

Is immature to want someone else to set bounderies for you? Absolutely, which is why I'm trying (emphasize trying). But is hard as fuck, specially when the people you are trying to set bounderies with act like you are a cold blooded witch the second you attempt to and even more when you can't even distance yourself physically from them. Today I realized, as I was once more getting emotionally manipulated from these people who claim to have my best interest at heart, that I just wish within me for someone to stand up for me, to shout "fuck you" at them and drag me away before they get to say something about it.

I've been the "mature" one all my fucking life. I'm the oldest child of this family (siblings and cousins). I've been told that I'm "grown up" simce I've been SIX YEARS OLD. I've been the one who stays silent while knowing damn well that what they are saying about me is wrong because "speaking up just creates problems". I've been the one who listens. I've been the understanding one. I've been the one who comforts after getting hurted by them, who allows herself to gets thrown under the bus if it means less harm for others, who takes the blame even when I know its not fair, who acts like the "bigger person" despite being a fucking child in the midst of adult problems. And you know what I've gained back? Nothing. The moment I do even the tiniest of mistakes (or rather than mistakes, things that they do not approve of) I'm suddenly the opposite of what I've been trying so hard to try to be. And I know this and still I can't set my foot down, I can't speak up, I just laugh it off, or smile, or hug them or apologize and keep pretending it doesn't feel like a stab to the heart. I always end up wondering once again if perhaps I'm the one who really is not doing enough, even tho at this point I know objectively that it is not the case.

So yeah, fuck, I want someone who loves me enough to do and say the "wrong things" defending me and doesn't gives two shits, doesn't apologize for defending me, and doesn't back tracks. I want someone who puts me first even when its "wrong". I'm dying here trying to be the 'good girl' they so desperately want from me; so it makes sense for my brain to want a 'bad guy' who allows me to live by doing the opposite of what they want.

Of course this is just as a fantasy. I know real life doesn't work that way. But dammit the fantasy of one day being able to get out of this is the only thing that keeps me relatively stable right now.

#i probably need therapy #i'm seriously so tired #but hey #at least i learned something new about myself #i feel like shit tho #why are the people who you love the most the ones who usually hurt you the most #i know escapism isn't healthy but fuck #villians #enemies to lovers #bad guy

So i get why y’all mad about the short hair in the Rings of power, but consider:

The short hair was a fashion choice unique to the second age. Where everyone jumped on the trend and then immediately (for elves so a couple centuries) jumped off again. It’s the embarrassing haircut every elf tries to forget they ever had, so much so that they tear down all statues and paintings where they have it.

The kind of thing that galadriel will absolutely hold over elrond’s head every time they come to visit, and show all his kids.

“Oh Arwen, he doesn’t want u to marry ur hot human boyfriend? Well sometimes he doesn’t make good decisions. Just Look at this painting i keep on me of him with short hair. Could you imagine a worse decision? I can’t”

Arwen (horrified): father?!!!

Elrond: it was a phase! Stop showing people that!

Galadriel: No ☺️

The Inversion of the Ideal Type:

A mini meta on Komi-san Can’t Communicate

So i’ve been watching Komi-san lately, and I really love the main couple, but it took me a while to finally pinpoint why.

When the show begins, we start from Tadano’s perspective: he’s an average guy with a beautiful but silent classmate who’s secret he discovers. And at this point, I thought i knew what i was getting. The everyday man finding out some secret about a girl way out of their league causing the girl to need to keep them around is a very common wish fulfillment plot. Komi is clearly Tadano’s ideal girl, and the fact she has a weakness he can exploit is just the icing on the cake. I’ve seen it all before, and it always left a bad taste in my mouth.

But here’s the kicker: Tadano doesn’t exploit Komi’s secret. He doesn’t make her dependent on him, or act jealous of her new friends. He’s constantly looking out for her comfort and trying to help her reach out and make new friends. And in this, he becomes a wish fulfillment character himself. After all, a guy who genuinelu cares and tries to help you with your crippling anxiety? Someone who always understands when u try to communicate? People with social anxieties want that. Any girl who’s ever felt misunderstood wants that. Komi-san wants that. Tadano, with his gentle encouragement and seemingly endless patience, is as much Komi’s ideal man as she is his ideal woman.

And that’s what makes the show work. They both value each other, they both want each other, and every episode they find new little details about each other to make them fall even more in love. Its sweet and uncomplicated, and maybe its a bit idealistic, but its like having a yummy desert after a long day, it soothes you.

The Great Demon Fiance ManHunt of Cang Qiong Sect

A scum villian’s self saving system au

It all started when Liu Qingge fell into another succubus pit.

Now the succubus in this pit had been gossiping just before he arrived. Well, more like debating in demon fashion, which is to say they had been in an all out brawl.

Liu Qingge thinks this might be an easy fight since they’re all so distracted, until on smarter succubus stops the others

“Wait!” She says. “He’s from Cang Qiong. Maybe he knows something!”

Liu qingge isn’t particularly interested in hearing them out, but they overwhelm him, united as one and fueled with the vigor of one who is starving for gossip

They ask him: “which cang Qiong peak lord is getting married to the next mobei-jun?”

This completely throws liu qingge for a loop nad he venemently denies it

But the succubus insist, spinning a tale of star crossed lovers which as reached their ears: of a young mobei-jun who was rescued by a pittiful human from cang qiong sect, who promised to always be there for mobei-jun, even as he rose higher and higher in thr sect, never betraying him, until even the great mobei-jun could not help but fall in love

Liu qingge dismisses this, but the succubus insist its true, because the same Mobei-jun visited their madam (i forget her name) for a fortune told, and there was a human at his side, dressed in the robes of a cang qiong peak lord!

Their madam is famous for her love fortunes! Why visit her with someone if u weren’t planning to marry them?

(Mobei-jun was not there for a love fortune. He and Shang Qinghua were looking for some plot device to help thwart on of his uncle’s schemes, and needed directions)

So which one was it? Was it him?

Liu qingge is outraged by this suggestion, so much so that it gives him enough of a power boost to escape

At first he ignores it. But it keeps circling in his brain, like a nagging fly he can’t get out of his mind

Then the unthinkable happens: Shen Qingqiu starts being nice! He saves him! He wants to bury the hatchet! He starts being nice to his disciples!

It’s almost like he recieved some very, very good news.

Like a secret proposal.

But no! Shen Qingqiu liked woman! He was always sneaking down to the red pavilon! Right? Right?

Unless he was just using that as a cover to sneak out to see his demon lover????

Filled with worry, he tries to subtly interrogate Shen Qingqiu by asking him what he thinks of demons. Rather predictably, this fails horribly. With an oblivious shen yuan thinking this was a perfect opportunity to get liu qingge to soften to his future brother-in-law’s heritage and gives his whole “there are bad and good ones” speech

Liu qingge leaves heartbroken, certain his shixiong is in love with a demon

He goes to yue qingyuan and tells him that they might be losing a martial brother to an engagement, but refuses to say who

Leaving yue qinghuan witn thr impession its liu qingge who’s getting engaged

At around this time, the rumor of a cang qiong peak lord marrying a demon reaches the peak, because those succubus are still fighting over which one it is, and have taken to asking every cang qiong disciple they can find

Yue qingyaun panics, because his shidi has all but told him he’s getting engaged, liu qingge panics because shen qingqiu could get in serious trouble if this is found out, and shang qinghua panics because what if this inane rumor causes people to examine his own connections to demons?

Shen qingqiu is not panicking. Shen Qingqiu is having a lovely time playing house eith binghe and ignoring everything else

Meanwhile the other peak lords all start accusing each other, the disciples start using this to start fights with other peak disciples, and its all getting very out of hand

Yue qingyuan is forced to call a meeting, and tries to politely get liu qingge to confess

How to Woo the Girl You Dumped Without her Demon-possessed Brother Getting in your Way: A Guide by Jin Zinxuan

A crack au

It all begins when Jin Zinxuan notices that Jiang Yanli is actually really pretty.

This is unfortunately right in the middle of him yelling at her for trying to claim credit for the soup someone’s been making for him

Wei Wuxian shows up, demonic tendicals (we’re going anime version here) dripping from all around him as he defends his sister, it comes out that she has been making the soup, and now he’s smitten with a huge problem: the girl he likes both now prob hates him because he humiliated her, and also her brother is definitely a demon

Now a sensible person would first try to patch over the relationship with jiang yanli by apologizing, but jin Zixuan is a Jin! He’s never done a sensible thing in his life!

And also talking about feelings is really scary and as his friend Miammiam likes to point out, he is really bad at it

So naturally, he decides that the most important step to wooing Jiang yanli is to save her brother from demonic possession. That way she’ll be super impressed with him and he’ll be less terrifying and so greatful he’ll well come him into the family!

What could go wrong?!!

Jin Guangyao insists that it is not demonic possession, it is demonic cultivation. But jin zixuan has heard jin zixun rant about “that wei demon” enough times to know better

Figure of speech? What’s that?

So jin zixuan decides to exorcise wei wuxian, and to do that, he’ll need help from the smartest person he knows: jin Guangyao

Jin guangyao is less than thrilled at being sent on a rediculous job like this, to exorcise the clearly not possessed wei wuxian, until he realizes jin zixuan will do anything he suggests without question

ANYTHING

So Jin guangyao decides to have fun with this, setting jin zixuan on increasingly ridiculous tasks to “cure” wei wuxian of demonic possesstion

Like covering him in salt. Or throwing itchy flowers at him. Or running after him chanting this truely awful tune while hoping on one foot.

The result of course, is a very angry wei wuxian who chases zixuan away, and an increasingly desperate jin zixuan who thinks wei wuxian’s frustrations are proof that “the demons are trying to stop me!”

Now the sect heir acting strange is going to raise some eyebrows, and when outsiders look at jin zixuan throwing flowers and singing, they come to a very different conclusion.

Within a day, everyone in every sect is convinced jin zixuan is trying to court wei wuxian

“My son is a cutsleeve!” Moans jin guangshan. “How did this happen! I showed him all the fine ways to love a woman!”

“You’re lessons are the reason my son is a cutsleeve!” Madam jin retorts. “U scarred him for life!”

They proceed to spend the rest of the time arguing and somehow forget to actually talk to their son

Meanwhile in yumeng everyone is losing their collective shit. Jiang cheng is furious that jin zixuan thinks he can poach wei ying with a few pretty words and flowers. Jiang yanli is depressed because her crush is really hopeless now, and how could she measure up to wei wuxian?

Wei wuxian himself is disgusted, not that jun zixuan is a cutsleeve, but that he’d dare to court him! After what he did to shijie! He resolves to firmly rebuff every attempt jin zixuan makes

Which only serves to make jin zixuan more determined because “those demons are really stubborn!!”

But then… the rumor reaches gusu

And lan zhan hops on the first sword to the jin sect to challenge jin zixuan to a duel for wei wuxian’s honor

Lan Zhan tells himself he wouldn’t do this is wei wuxian actually loved the guy. But its not just some guy. This is jin zixuan, wei wuxian hates him! Even he knows that!

They fight, but jin zixuan for all his denseness, even he knows he doesn’t have a quirrel with lan Zhan, and eventually he gets lan zhan to calm down enough to ask why they are fighting

Lan zhan explains and jin zixuan is horrified he’d ever thing that, and quickly fills him in on what he’s really doing: saving wei wuxian from the demon that is possessing him

My #1 post of 2022

The Yiling Laozu’s Lost Spells, A.K.A. The Weird Ones

A Collection by Mo Xuanyu

aka another crack au

Edit: Now with a part 2!

When the Yiling Laozu died his work was divided up by its use

The Lans took anything deemed undemonic, like Spirit Lures and Demonic Compasses

The Jins snuck out anything dangerous under the lie they’d destroy it

And the rest of it…it got scattered everywhere to every lowdown village and wanna be demonic cultivator.

At first, no one thought this would be a problem. It’s not like anything dangerous is out there, and not just anyone can culitvate

But they forgot two very important things: 1) no one needs to be a culivator to use demonic cultivation and 2) people will find a way to use anything

Soon the culivation world is overrun by really, really weird cases that their cultivators just can’t keep up with

And when I say weird, I do mean weird here’s a look at some of the cases:

Case 1) Giant rabbits the size of houses have been spotted in a mountain near a sheparding villiage eating all their feilds. They asked Hanguang-jun for help. Hanguang-jun went up but he did not come back down. It is suspected the giant bunnies ate him

Case 2) the dancing radishes. Every night on the full moon radishes come to life in a villiage and dance on their beds. Its not hurting anyone, but its really freaking them out

Case 3) dog begone spells. A whole villiage has lost all its dogs and no one knows why. Some of them were really expensive spirit puppies, including one jin guangyao was planning to purchase for his nephew

Case 4) the case of the running radishes. Radishes are leaving their beds a d running away as fast as thry can. Every time someone gets close they keep moving farther away

Case 5) flowers flying to lan clan ribbons and sticking. Every flower, even ones on stems. The lans are walking around covered in flowers and it is becoming a Problem.

Case 6) radishes that look like potatoes. Again? What is with this guy and radishes? This spell would have been harmless if it hadn’t been in a villiage with two rival families of radishes and potatoes. The potato family is accusing the radish family of sabatoge and the radish family is accusing the potato family of stealing their crop

Case 7) Lotus soup possession talisman. If u stick this talisman on someone, they will make lotus and pork rib soup. Always. Again and again. They can’t stop. Everything they make is soup. They’re crying.

Case 8) the peacock tail talisman. Every jin who comes into contact with this talisman will get a peacock tail. They can’t get rid of them. This is a problem.

Case 9) grass butterflies come to life. Again, not harmful, but very annoying. All children love it. All adult toy sellers do not. Their wares keep flying away. Please someone save their buisnesses

Case 10) hug jiang cheng. You must hug jiang cheng. You can’t help it. You can’t stop. If u don’t give him one hug a day you will die. Jiang cheng is furious. Fix this now.

Case 11) give Hanguang-jun compliments. Not hard, no one would notice if it wasn’t stuck to Su She. He hates it. He’s sueing for emotional damages. You better fix this quick!

And these are just the first ones! In times like this, people look to the Chief Cultivator. But the Chief cultivator is off flirting with women, so like all things, this falls to jin guangyao to solve.

So Jin guangyao decides he needs to get those documents back, and who better to send to handle the weird cases no one wants to touch than his weird half brother who’s so fasinated by demonic cultivation?

Thus Mo Xuanyu finds himself with his dream job: chasing down the yiling Laozu’s lost works! What more could he want?

The first case is easy. He goes up and finds Hanguang-jun asleep cuddled in a pile of giant rabbits. All he has to do is find out where the talisman is and remove them. The hard part is getting Hanguang-jun to stop looking like he just killed his wife. Mo xuanyu didn’t know Hanguang-jun had puppy eyes. Since when did he have puppy eyes? Eventually to make him feel better he helps him take all the rabbits to cloud recesses. And at another puppy dog eyed, gloomy look like he’s denied him his long lost lover, Mo Xuanyu gives him the talisman too. Jin Guangyao’s not happy, but really, what was Mo Xuanyu supposed to do? Not make that handsome man smile again?

The second case is a lot harder. Nothing Mo Xuanyu does gets the radishes to stop singing. No spells, not talismans, nothing. The only thing left is to dig them all up and throw them deep into the woods where no one will have to listen. Mo Xuanyu’s ears are still bleeding from their reedy songs

The third case is where Mo Xuanyu feels a bit of hope in Yiling laozu’s work really paying off. Lots of his bullies at the jin sect have dogs. If he can make them vanish, he’ll be safe! Unfortunately this spell makes all dogs leave, or none at all. And even when he finds a way to undo it, he can’t afford to copy it out because jin guangyao took one of the pups to give to jin ling, and if mo xuanyu makes the grumpy jin ling’s beloved new puppy go away, he’ll be kicked out of Koi Tower and feel bad besides

The radishes are back, but they run now. They aren’t even violent, u can’t use them for anything! They just run! It takes mo xuanyu months to catch one and track it back to its home. The radishes have built a radish villige in the forest. Radish farmers radish shop keepers and radish children. Mo xuanyu feels like he’s stepped into a children’s book. Then he hears the familiar reedy songs and it becomes a nightmare. The running radishes found the singing ones. They interbred. Now they have musical theatre radishes. Mo Xuanyu booked it out of there as fast as he can. Fuck the Yiling Laozu. Mo Xuanyu isn’t messing with that

Get your Tumblr 2022 Year in Review →

#tumblr2022 #year in review #my 2022 tumblr year in review #your tumblr year in review

[doberbutts]

I just wanted to thank you for talking about the Rings of Power series. I haven't watched it yet because I'm not mentally in a place where I can consume new media. But as someone who loves the books I'm making room for it on my future lists.

I almost bought into what I now see as racist propaganda to not watch it. So thank you for your reviews of it and talking specifically about why it was getting the push back it did.

I hope you have a lovely weekend weekend.

I appreciate the kind words anon and I hope when you do have the energy to pick the show up that you enjoy it!

It is really very difficult to say that all the negativity isn't based at least somewhat in racism (whether purposeful or thru ppl falling for propaganda) when I see a hideously negative post, check the poster's blog, and immediately find multiple rants about how black people in such-and-such fantasy setting don't make sense. Or I don't find that but do find that the poster often reblogs from those people or uses their sources. It becomes very telling to me. Literally one of the people who started the "amazon is fudging the numbers!!!!" reaction HAS THE URL "feminism is still a hate movement" for fuck's sake.

Currently there's an outcry of trying to use liberal talking points but using them in such a blatantly obvious way. People saying Sauron is "straight-washed" and it's "biphobic erasure" (for a character in which canon never shows romantic or sexual interest in anyone, whom does NOT have a romance plot in ROP), people saying it's misogynistic because many elf women are wearing veils and head coverings (so I guess we're forgetting PJ's Arwen's nun look and the various veiled female elves in the background of the movies), people calling Sauron an incel (1: you do understand he's THE villian yeah, 2: he spent 99% of the plot asking to be left alone and then decided to try manipulation idk how that is "incel"), people saying it's not diverse enough (because the Bad Guy Race includes white people when in the books it didn't), and... weirdly, people acting like Bezos himself wrote the script and directed it himself when in reality he visited the set during production once and otherwise stayed out of things besides providing money.

It's blatant and transparent and it's WEIRD that people keep falling for it.

[urproblematicfav-arsonk]

Starting this off with prefacing that Izzy isn't real and you can and should throw him in a blender.

Anyway I'm kinda bothered by the amount of fanfic that tends to frame Ed cutting off Izzy toe/escalation of Ed's abuse as a sort of cosmic punishment for Izzy being a dick. Like, I fully get that he sucks and what he did to Ed was honestly very cruel but like,,,,,,, Izzy was the victim in that situation still?? Izzy is a freak and all but that doesn't excuse Ed's own actions.

Like, if we flip the roles here and what happened was Ed told Izzy that he's a annoying little asshole and if he keeps that behavior up he's going to denounce him as his first mate and Izzy responds but fucking?? Cutting off Ed's fingers or something then Izzy would absolutely, undeniably be the villian/abuser.

A lot of post s1 fics about Ed's redemption gloss over Ed's autonomy and choices for a easy "Izzy scapegoat, pirate husband kiss now" story. Which I understand cuz writing is fucking hard lol but I'd like to see some more nuance then that

It was ultimately Ed's choice to fall back onto his Blackbeard/Kraken persona. He could've very very easily just told Iz to fuck off and continued to clean or he could've returned to that persona without murder/maiming. But instead he gave in to Izzy's honesty very childish and petty attempt to hurt him. He choose the easy path of hiding within himself and hurting the people around him.

Izzy did antagonize Ed into it, yes. But implying that Ed spiraling into a abusive/murderous headspace meant that Iz was "asking for it" is a bit garbage tbh. I can fully see him viewing like that though, as someone who was domestic abused it can be easily to find a way of thinking that "oh I was being a dick on purpose so me getting beat is my fault". Izzy is also canonically in love with Ed so he's even more likely to tolerate and excuse the abuse as him helping to correct Ed's behavior.

A lot of this shit is really heavy content so maybe I'm being unreasonable with my fanfic expectations but it just,,, really does disappoint me when these Ed/Stede reunion fics are just babying?? Ed instead of recognizing that he's a grown adult who can make his own decisions. It isn't Izzy's fault and it isn't Stede's fault for leaving.

I have a lot of hope for the canon story tho. David seems like he a really fucking cares about writing these stories right and Taika is participating somewhat as the producer/director. So I have hope that we won't get "murder/abuser Ed can be redeemed!!! Because we like him!!!! Oh but fuck Izzy he's annoying lol he deserved it" like so MANY fucking other shows (like fucking Lucifer for one)

Anyway Izzy deserves better and has never done anything wrong in his entire life but also more EdIzzy rape fics plss💖💖(lol)

[37-children-of-the-dreams]

Also, monsuno next to other cartoon from that time looks more depressing and kinda more realistic..? Klipse is not exacly villian, but just mad dude who thinks can rule world but later just became tired, look like dud with problems, and he doesnt really look like a threat cause his plans are even ruining by himself, and of course if someone is messing it wont work too. There is more like dark family and moral issues than threat like in bakugan or other. Not exacly adventures but fillers with main characters being brats to anyone, or even to themselves is case of Dax, Chase and Jinja being main brats, or just suffering from attacks on them from militaries and Klipse. I couldnt see it as a kid then, since it really was a depression, or I was falling asleep. Then it was kinda torture for me. Now, I understand some shit here and kinda enjoy it's darkness. When after ten years I found that Klipse had son, and with Chase, I was like o_0.

Other cartoons had better made scenario, and interesting, and here is like I was wantching some weird bandits/mafia VS Police/investigator series for old people. Both making bad things, but one is better by scenario.

I can’t blame you for thinking that Monsuno is a realist and depressing show. Monsuno aired on 2012 and ran until 2014. The early to mid 2010s animated shows and animes were getting rather edgy and more mature. Monsuno was another show that followed that trend and survived for more than two seasons when some of its competitors from Disney were getting axed on their first season. That’s a huge deal since even Nickelodeon was willing to axe some of its own shows on the first season. And while Monsuno had some cringy or bad episodes since shows can’t be perfect, Monsuno managed to keep a coherent narrative during its run. So kudos for you to watch it again even if it’s been a decade!

I loved the early to mid 2010s in terms of shows and storylines kinda out of bias. They’re the reason I wanted to be better in writing when I can’t even write well in middle school. I loved how shows weren’t scared of either being cringe or being too edgy and just showed what they can to viewers without upping their age range of viewership.

I also agree that both Klipse and STORM have suffered from Team Core Tech being brats, and despite their designation of being villains and antagonists, you can help but feel bad for them on some episodes because they’re being brats. It’s understandable why Chase and Dax would be sassy brats who run their mouths since their family life isn’t that great with Chase having an absentee father and Dax losing his family at a young age, but Jinja is on thin ice. I get your family doesn’t care about you, but Bren has done nothing to deserve the 24/7 verbal abuse you put him through, and then we find out about Brent’s family situation and her actions towards him are much worse since Bren possibly has depression from all the bullying in his life and can still be that strong. Beyal is 100% the least problematic of their group since he’s just a naive monk who never got out of his home and still learning about the world.

Klipse dealing with them probably made his delusions of being a king to Monsunos and mankind worse since he’s so tired of dealing with those kids after dealing with Charlemagne and STORM. He’s sleep deprived and raising children who want his attention, he’s wanting to rule so he can get his peace and quiet.

Also, sorry that you had to find out about Six after ten years. Anyone would have been shocked and concerned about that fact that Six is a clone of Klipse and Chase. Like I still talk to my sister about Six and she’s shocked about his situation after we got a better understanding of Six’s situation.

Tomura Shigaraki x AllMight!daughter reader

Chapter 16

Premise:

When The League of Villians discovers that AllMight has a daughter, they are quick to snatch you up and hold you hostage. Shigaraki had a careful and thought-out plan, but that was before you got there. Now you're in the mood for some not-so-healthy rebellion.

Warnings: S.M.U.T sexy sex sexs my friends! We got make outs and blow jobs, let's go!

A/N:

So we're getting spicy this chapter, finally, I know. That being said this chapter is not plot relevant really, it will be referenced later but it doesn't contain plot heavy stuff. So for smut adverse readers, my apologies, and thank you for being here. Love you very much! ✌❤

Chapter 15

The new base always got so quiet this time of night. Maybe you could faintly hear someone playing music if you really tried hard enough. But even then, it was absolutely silent. It was clear some people liked it that way, and any disturbance would be unwelcome and maybe even punished for.

Tomura shuffled out of his room. Normally, he wasn't very picky about a new space. He'd make it his own in time and besides, if he really wanted to be the ruler of all villians he'd have to get used to nice new places like this. But this night in particular, was off. He couldn't sleep. Even though he was beyond exhausted and even weak, he couldn't fall asleep. He'd tried for hours now, laying in bed waiting. He's dealt with insomnia before, but before it was different.

His feet slid against the carpet as he dragged himself down the hallway and into a living space. The lights where off, only illuminated by the light of the moon that found its way into the large space. His eyes traveled along the silhouettes of furniture before finding something else. A figure, sat alone in one of the couches. Their hidden face turned away, watching out the window. For a moment he went to turn back, but the more he watched, he realized who it was.

The sound of Shigaraki clearing his throat startled you. You shook out of your line of thought and abruptly turned. There he stood, with a blank expression. Your heart raced in your chest, taking its time to slow down when you realized it was just Tomura.

"Oh shit. You scared me." You told him, shrugging off your initial reaction.

"What are you doing?" He asked firmly.

"I couldn't sleep. So I thought I'd try to catch the sun rising."

"The sun doesn't come up for another hour."

"I know." You looked back out the pitch black window. Watching Tomura's reflection as he walked around the couch and sat down.

"I can't sleep either."

"I'm sorry."

"Stop that."

"Huh?"

"How many times do I have to tell you to stop apologizing for things that aren't your fault?" He scolded.

"It's a reflex. I just want people to know I'm sympathetic to their situations."

"Well I don't need or want your sympathy."

"Okay then, tough guy." You rested your head on your hand. When was the last time you were alone together? Like truly, alone? Should you be alone together? Isn't he some unyielding force to be reckoned with? But right here, right now, he just looks like some guy. "Hey, Shigaraki?"

"What?"

"After you rule the world. Whats the plan after that?" He paused and thought for a moment.

"Rebuild."

"No I know that. I meant, for you. What's the plan for you?" He looked at you with narrowed eyes.

"I said I'll rebuild."

"No I-" you sighed in your frustration, "I mean for you, personally. Like, I understand this goal is your livelihood and everything for you but after you complete everything, after all of that is done with. Do you have a plan after that?"

"No. This is my plan."

"So you have no interest in anything outside of this plan?"

"No I don't."

"That's a lie." You blurted.

"What?"

"That's a lie. You have other interests. What about your video games? And the foods you like!" He rolled his eyes.

"Those are miniscule, stupid things. What-What exactly are you getting at with all these questions huh!?"

"I don't know!... I guess I'm just trying to make sense of things. Since I became a villian, everything is so unstable and loose. One second we could be sitting here like this, the next we could be fighting for our lives. Not that I'm complaining! It's just so, different."

"So?"

"So, I'm trying to find some stability I guess. After that big hurtle, the destruction of hero society, what next? What will I do then? What else will I have?" There was a long pause of silence. You sat there starring out at the cold winter night.

"Me." He mumbled.

"What?"

"You'll have me. And the others. You'll have a new way of life with people who care about you." His eyes met yours, they starred deep into yours without hesitation. "Isn't that what you wanted?" He looked so gentle. His expression was soft and without any pain or discomfort.

"It is." You spoke softly back.

"Then that is your stability." He looked so certain, so confident.

"Shigaraki?"

"Hm?"

"Is that, what you wanted?" Suddenly he felt like he was drawn back to another reality. The room felt like it was swaying in the dark. He felt dizzy and warm. Sick even. His eyes darted from you for a moment, and when they came back they found you watching him. With your big eyes and a faint blush over your cheeks. His breathing had changed, all without him even noticing.

"I wanted to destroy. I was fortunate to find allies."

"Am I your ally?"

"Of course."

"Just an ally?" What the hell were you playing at? You were driving his thoughts in circles with your questions and your prodding. You either want something or you want to torment him. What registered as the sick feeling grew, butterflies raged in his stomach rendering speechless and confused. His eyes widened as he watched you.

"Just an ally..." He muttered. Your eyes left his to look back outside. The window blowing the trees outside, making them gently tap against the glass.

"Ah forget it." You announced before leaning back in the couch.

"What do you mean? 'Just an ally'? What are you playing at?" He growled. You didn't realize this would upset him so much. He inched closer, an attempt to intimate it out of you. You swallowed as you were forced to meet his gaze once again. If you clarified would it only upset him more? Would you be thrown out? Rejected entirely?

"I only meant...well...I just...what I mean is-"

"Out with it!"

"You mean a lot to me!" You declared, your hands acting on their own to cover your mouth. Your wide eyes watched his. They didn't change at first, not even when he leaned back. That didn't satisfy him at all! That wasn't what he wanted to hear! That didn't make any sense!

"What do you mean?" He sat back in the couch as he watched you. You were shaking now, why are you shaking? What's wrong with you?

"It means what I said. You mean a lot, to a lot of people. You've heard Jin talk about how you gave his life meaning. Like that."

"No. Before that. Just an ally. What does that have to do with this?"

"I-....fuck....I mean that you mean a lot to me, in a lot of ways. I guess I was just trying to know, if I meant more to you than just an ally. Because you're more to me than an ally." You're looking away from him. Avoiding his gaze even. What's wrong with you? Why can't you look him in the eyes and say that? He wanted you to. He felt himself heat up as the words echoed through his head. Why did they echo if you said them so softly?

"You are my friend, Y/N." No that felt wrong. "You're more than an ally." Is that what you want to hear? No, that also feels wrong. What is he supposed to say? Why is his mouth so dry? This is really starting to piss him off. "No, you're...you're more than that to me. A companion. I think."

"You think?"

"Shut up. I can't think straight." He groaned in frustration. Wait, he's nervous. He's nervous thinking about this.

"Shigaraki?"

"What?" It felt natural, it felt seamless and easy. You reached out for him, wrapping your arms around his neck to keep him still for the moment. You pushed yourself from your side of the couch to his in order to be closer. His skin was cold from the winter air but his lips were so warm. His lips were shockingly smoother feeling than you had expected. The scarring had left the texture similar to a palm or a knuckle, but not dry or cracked like you'd expect. He froze, immediately. You could hear each other's hearts race painfully loud in your chests. His wide eyes watched you, his muscle tensing at first in fright. For a split second he though he might be under attack.

But then he felt your skin against his. He felt your embrace, something he never even realized he longed for. He felt your warm touch and your lips against his. It wasn't long till he felt the dopamine kick in. It made him melt in your arms. It wiped his thoughts clean and only left him with the desire to get you closer. You almost jumped when you felt his arms warp around you, holding you, pressing you against his heaving chest. You let out a soft, helpless little moan. The kiss continued, his lips only moving with yours as he waited for your guidance. He had no idea what to do, only that he wanted you to stay like this. He let out a soft moan as you pulled away. His eyelids opening to reveal a wide and confused gaze.

"Shiga-"

"Just say Tomura." He insisted, a hand coming to the back of your head. He pulled you in for another kiss. A muffled moan released in surprise as you adjusted yourself to be more comfortable, laying there on his chest. Your fingers ran through his hair, making his brow furrow at the pleasure. He'd never felt these things before. Never been kissed, never been held, never had fingers run through his hair. The touch, it was all so exilerating. His heart raced and his body began to restlessly beg for more. It was like training, like battle, like inhancements, but....pleasurable.

He held you so close to him, so tight you could hardly move. As you made out you adjusted yourselves. Now laying on the couch entirely. Your body draped over his as your hands came down to press against his chest. You got braver, pulling your lips away to watch him chase after you. Only relaxing again when you started to kiss down his cheek and neck. The scarring there was bad, some skin still healing and breaking from the years of abuse. You've kissed worse.

His lips parted to let out a gentle sigh as you kissed down, down his neck to his exposed collar bone. One of your hands crept up the hem of his shirt to drag delicate fingers across his stomach and chest. You'd forget how scarred up he really was. It made for an interesting experience as your fingers ventured across his willing body. He was so vulnerable to you in this moment. So open and willing and begging for your touch. For more. It made you want give it to him. Give him everything in this moment. Lose yourselves in pleasure and enjoy one another.

You paused to think for a moment. This would be his first time wouldn't it? You would be his first sexual and romantic experience. All that pressure.

"Why'd you stop?" He grunted, a hand coming down to grasp your arm. You looked up at him.

"How far do you want to go?" You asked. His grip loosened, that hand coming down to lay flat against the small of your back. Thank God he had control of his quirk. He could hold you and touch you as much as he wanted.

"What do you mean?" Of course he wouldn't know what you meant. Damn, he's really so innocent about these things. You have to be careful, and gentle.

"I mean, right now, do you just want to keep making out? Or, do you want to go further?" The blush across his cheeks darkened.

"Can we go further?" He pulled you close again, looking for another kiss. You smiled and nodded, coming back to plant a firm kiss on his lips again. He got brave with that. That hand sliding down to grope your ass and the other encouraging your leg to wrap higher around his waist.

"Damn you're eager." You moaned into his neck as you kissed the other side. He smiled as a chuckle tumbled through his chest.

"I want more. Will you give it to me?" His grip on your ass tightened as he pulled you up closer to him.

"Don't rush me." You teased, whispering in his ear before nibbling on the lobe.

"Don't tease me." His hips bucked up into yours. You could feel his firm bulge against you.

"But teasing is half the fun, you'll see. It's all about enjoying each other's company, isn't it?" Your hand rubbed his chest soothingly in an attempt to calm his restless nerves. "You have to trust me here." You spoke in a serious tone for a moment. Cards on the table. His grip loosened, coming back up to your hips.

"Alright then. I trust you." Just barely a whisper. You smiled, and gave him a long kiss in return. Grinding your hips down on him to reward his efforts. He let out a happy moan as you pressed against him. Letting out more pleased panting when you pulled away. His fingers came up your shirt to grope your chest. The other happily on your ass as you teased him further.

"Oh shit. Wait." You pulled away to sit on top of him, a defeated and frustrated expression plastered across your face.

"What now?" He groaned.

"I don't suppose you have any protection." He let out a defeated sigh.

"Someone in this big stupid base has to have one."

"We're not going around tricker treating for condoms, Tomura." He rolled his eyes at you.

"Then that's that is it?" You thought for a moment, his body unmoving, his hands placed firmly on your thighs. Fuck you'd wished you bought some when you had the chance. You looked down to the protruding bulge in his sweat pants.

"Not yet." You swung a leg over so you could stand from the couch. Tomura watched you, sitting up and straightening himself out.

"Uh- what are you doing?" He croaked as you sunk to your knees and placed your hands firmly on his thighs to part them. Your hands hardly even held the mass of his thighs, he let you spread them apart with ease as your fingers gently dug into the firm muscle.

"Well, just because we can't go all the way doesn't mean we can't have some fun. You still in?" You smiled up at him. His bewildered expression caught you off guard, made you worry you had crossed a boundary. Your smile slowly faded. "Tomura?"

"Y-Yeah. Go ahead." You've never seen him so nervous, stumbling over his own words, struggling to keep his composure, blushing even. Your smile returned. Your reached out a hand to firmly place your palm on his aching bulge. You could feel him pulse underneath the fabric. He let out a strained huff. You continued to rub him, gently, just to ease him into it. And maybe, just to watch him struggle a bit. He started to take deep breaths and huff every so often. "Damn it, you're not just gonna tease me all night are you?" He grunted.

You smiled, finally pulling down his pants and let his cock spring free. You don't know what you were expecting, considering the condition of his body, you weren't expecting this. It wasn't crazy big or anything, maybe just above average. It was uncircumcised, and the skin wrapped around his tip which leaked small beads of precum. It was so clean and normal, and inviting. You gently wrapped a hand around the base, earning a shakey breath from him. Slowly, you stroked him, his skin shockingly soft against your hands. You watched him, his eyes glued to your hand around his cock.

"F-Fuck, quit messing with me!" He grunted. You stopped, your hand resting at his base. His eyes met yours. And for a moment he felt uneasy with the way you looked at him.

"Are you going to let me suck your cock, or are you just going to critique me all night?" You spoke. It made his cock twitch on it's own. He swallowed and leaned back on the couch.

"Fine." He grumbled, his sour expression cut short when your flat tongue met the bottom of his tip. He let out a small gasp at the sensation. His hands curling into fists in his lap. You slowly licked the head a few times with a flat tongue, then letting it curl around his length before wrapping your mouth around it. "Ah-ah," his breathy voice panted. "Fu-uck." As your lips made their way down his shaft fully. His tip quickly hitting the roof of your mouth, causing you to pull back and readjust so he could slide down your throat. Tomura threw his head back, his eyes shut tight, lips fallen open as he let out hushed little sounds.

Your neck slid forward and back. Relaxing your throat in an attempt to take him all. The way your deep, heavy breath brushed against his skin almost tickled. His hand reached out and lost itself in your hair. His chest heaved as he struggled to hold onto reality. His hips bucked up into your mouth. You closed your eyes to concentrate. Letting your desire to please, to touch and to feel, take hold and guide you. His cock twitched in your mouth, precum rolling down your throat. You pulled back for a moment, bringing a hand up to stroke him further as your saliva dripped down his balls.

"Fuuuuuuuuuck..." He breathlessly moaned, propping up his head so his eyes could roll back down to look at you. He was panting now. You loved the soft and helpless look on his face. He liked his lips before he swung his head to the side, eyes closing again. Almost like he was avoiding your gaze, only his hand in your hair moved. He curled his finger around your head to hold you firm. "M-More." He demanded. You obliged. Your tongue curling around the underside of the head before sinking back down. His cock sliding down your throat much easier now. "Oooohh." He gasped, throwing his head back again as he slowly thrusted his hips up so he could gently slide himself in and out. Savoring the way your lips wrapped around him and the feeling of your tongue around him. He gently fucked your mouth. His panting was getting louder, short breathes that made it clear. "I-I'm close." He groaned between open mouthed pants. His eyes shut tight like he was in pain. You watched from between his thighs, making sure to keep your throat relaxed and willing as he guided your head faster.

Suddenly he turned down to watch you. His eyes meeting yours as warm tears spilled down your cheeks. His hips moving so his cock seamlessly slid across your tongue. He was being so gentle with you, so aware. You had to give him credit, for this being his first blow job, he was oddly certious.

"Can," He was breathless now, "can I cum?" He asked, his thighs began to shake. You tried your best to answer, you managed a small "mmhm" around his cock. His eyes closed again as he leaned over you. Both hands holding the side of your head with care as he fucked himself into your mouth. The sight of him like this alone was amazing. "Fuck. Fuck." He growled through his teeth as he shuttered and finally you felt his cum shooting down your throat. Your reflex was to gag, you grabbed ahold of his thighs, taking deep breaths through your nose to keep yourself calm. Let your throat swallow everything on its own. He held you close, his cock buried deep as his muscles tensed. His jaw fell open. He just kept cuming, his orgasm extending until the last final shots made it out of his furiously hard cock.

All you could hear was his panting above you. His palms still firmly pressed against your head. Slowly he began to soften on your tongue, you wondered if he was okay, he wasn't moving. Eventually, his grip on your head loosened and he leaned back. He starred down at you as you gently pulled away. Slowly he fell from your mouth, letting out a sharp hissing sound. You wiped away the saliva from your face before looking up at him.

He looked nearly angelic in the moonlight. His chest heaving as he caught his breath, his eyes watching you with blown pupils. He looked exhausted and spent. You felt your heart warm and soften at the idea that you made him this way. Pride soon replaced the feeling, followed by desire for more. You single handedly brought the most notorious villian in Japan, perhaps the world, to an exhaustion. With your mouth alone. You shivered thinking about what else you could do.

Then your stomach sank. Had you really been so intimate with Tomura? What would your mother think? What would your father think? Your heart began to race. Panic set in like you were a child afraid of getting in trouble. You sat back on your butt and held your legs out in front of you, your eyes darting from Tomura.

"Did I hurt you?" His voice caught your attention I'm your spiral of thought. You looked back up at him. His expression calm and observant. You shook your head.

"No." You squeaked."

"What's wrong with you?" The words alone sound mean, but the way he said it was genuine and kind. Your brows furrowed as you looked at him.

"I just... I... I'm sorry. Everything just sank in." You looked down to avoid his gaze, thought you still felt it. Tomura pulled his pants back up as he stood before he squatted down in front of you. His eyes watching you intently.

"Being like this, with me?" He said with an ounce of disgust. You looked up at him again. He looked upset, like he was about yell.

"I just can't stop thinking about how disappointed they must be. Angry even. They must hate me by now. And if they knew...if they knew how happy I was here. How I knelt for their enemy." His anger seemed to fade, replaced by the smallest smug expression.

"Should I return the favor?" He rasped.

"Huh?"

"If I'm being honest, I don't know much about pleasing others. But I promise I'm a good student." He grinned. Your face became hot with blush. You smiled back with a shy grin.

"You would kneel for me?" You asked. He leaned in closer.

"I might be a villian, but I'm not cruel. You helped me, let me help you."

Tw: Suicide

Saint honestly you are the best writer that I have ever come across and if I can i think I have a theory or ending on how SY might end sorry if this sounds so jumbled i am trying to make this sound neutral on both sides and realistically i have a lot of ideas, picking up from SY6 i think how it would continue since you said it would be angst until chapter 14 I think that a custody case would happen and something in my gut tells me for more angst that Gojo would win i think that Momojo will try and make a underhand very dirty move to make Y/n look like the bad parent and the fact she hid Sachrio from Gojo after Gojo wins he starts to look at/fall for Utahime and the same goes for her but I still think that she would talk to Y/n before hand before she starts her relationship with Gojo while I believe that Toji and Y/n will break up mostly because they both know that being in a relationship with each will only cause more heartache for the both of them i think that is were the picture of the two people sitting in a Cafe comes in Y/n will be supportive of Gojo and Utahime getting together but I think she will be heartbroken mostly because Gojo now had their son and gets to start over with out anyone criticizing him because he apparently made the right choice and I think that Momojo will rub in Y/n face that Utahime is the better choice for Gojo and will be a better mom for Sachi i think those words and by time all of this happens because you said that another Bora Bora like chapter will happen i think that is when Gojo and Utahime will sleep together and Y/n finds out/see its accidentally I feel if you decide for a slightly dark and somber mood this will be Y/n breaking point driving her to the point of suicide because she feels that she has now one her son was taken away, she broke up with a person who she thought she could move on with, her ex husband and well ex bestfriend are now together, and I think in this situation Y/n would cut off communication with everyone because she feels that no matter what she does or says she will always be the villian in the story, finally after Y/n kills herself everyone finds out I believe that Gojo would feel like his world has come down because I don't think he could love Utahime the way he loved Y/n and I feel like Utahime would have this nagging feeling that maybe she doesn't really love Gojo and that it was a mere infatuation with him in that moment I think Gojo would break things off with Utahime and she would understand, Momojo would guilty because kinda drove Y/n to the point of suicide, Toji would feel sorrow and a bit of guilt, Gen, Ian, and Y/n dad would morn over her. And for the epilogue/ending it ends with Satoru sitting in the audience looking at his son Sachrio who is about to get married to the love of his life and he think back to Y/n that no matter what anyone says she would always and forever be sincerely his in his heart. Sorry if this sounds put together I wanted to share this before I forget it I hope you have a good day Saint and remember to take care of yourselve P.S sorry for the shitty writing😖

not ‘shitty writing’ at all !! this is actually an interesting theory :0 this is just one of the angsty endings that are on the ‘heavy’ scale :) poor yn never truly had a break from the pain

Tysm for requesting, hope you enjoy it <3

“Where is he?”, Amanda Waller called out as she walked down the hallway, towards the high security room you were currently kept in — Colonal Richard ‘Rick’ Flag not far behind her.

Her call grabbed the attention of the two guards, who stood in front of your cell.

“Is he in there?”, Amanda asked again, approaching the door with fast steps. One of the guards nodded and opened the thick metal door to let the director and the colonel in.

Amanda Waller had tried to get her hands on you for almost five years now, after you first made an apperiance in a club, killing two people. After that, several assassinations followed. Nobody knew who you exactly were, what you looked like, who you worked for; you were like a shadow — what people then came to call you, Shadow.

The major reason of why nobody could get a hold of you even in the slightest bit, was because you always vanished before anybody could even spot you.

After two years of not being able to catch you, the police gave up on further investigation in your cases. Amanda didn’t break so easily though. She wanted you in one of those cells she kept so many freaks in already, and she wasn’t going to give up until she had you sitting behind one of those metal doors, unable to escape her.

After all these years of going after you, she did manage to find out two major things about you. Why you always managed to escape without anyone catching a glimpse of you, and what your weakness was.

All these things led to the present situation.

You sat in a dark room, the only light source being a small lamp, dangling from the ceiling. Your ankles were tightly cuffed to the chair you were sitting on, on your wrists and neck you felt something cold and heavy, which seemed to send small electric shocks through your body every few seconds.

You weren’t sure where you exactly were, since you passed out before they got you. Hell, you didn’t even know who ‘they’ were.

You closed your eyes, trying to concentrate on your thoughts, which was not as easy as you hoped it would be. To say that you were in pain was an understatement. The electricity flowing through your body kept you from thinking straight, and send a wave of pure pain through your limbs with every shock you got.

A female voice ripped you from your trance, and you slowly opened your eyes again, head still hanging low. You knew that voice and you knew that you didn’t stand a chance anymore.

“Your powers won’t work anymore, unless i allow you to use them, so don’t even try.”, that voice belonged to none other than Amanda Waller, probably the only person on this planet you actually feared. You were never scared of what her minions could do to you, no. You were scared of what she could do to you if she ever managed to get you — which almost happened on several occasions.

You clenched your fists, trying to ignore the pain that came over you again, as you frantically tried to somehow sort your thoughts and find a way out of this, but nothing seemed to work. There was no way out of this. There was no escaping this. The feeling of helplessness washed over you, a feeling you didn’t like at all.

“You’re Y/N L/N, you’re a teleporter, thats how you managed to always vanish before the police got to the crime scene”, Amanda spoke, watching you as you sat there on the chair, staring at the ground, unable to move a single muscle. “It took me some time, but i managed to figure out how to block your powers”, she continued, taking slow steps towards you “Teleporters are extremely sensitive to electricity, some mightve even already died due to the constant pain if they were in your place.” She stopped right in front of you, looking down at your slumped figure, the only thing restraining you from falling over being the thick metallic handcuffs that kept your hands tied behind the chair.

Amanda grabbed your chin, forcing you to look up at her. Your sight was blurry and it cost you a lot of strength to even keep your eyes open, but you did manage to make out the silhouette of a rather tall person standing at the entrance of the cell, watching the whole scene, before your focus was back on the woman in front of you. “You’re actually a very pretty boy, Y/N, and very smart too, it’s a shame that you decided to end up like this.”, she said, before letting your face go. “Rick, take him to get the injection, then get his things and introduce him to the team. After that, you can take him to his provided cell.”

The man standing at the door — Rick, you assumed — made his way towards you, as Waller left the room, leaving you to the colonel.

Rick helped you out of the cuffs, that kept you strapped to the chair. Looking at you, he almost felt bad, you looked so drained and helpless. He had never exactly agreed with anything Amanda Waller did, but seeing what just a few hours under her control did with you was another level of not agreeing with something she did.

“Can you stand?”, the colonel asked and you nodded, slowly rising from the chair. Your legs wobbled beneath your weight and you instinctively grabbed onto whats next to you, which just so happened to be Ricks Arm.

After making sure you had gathered enough strength, he began to walk with you towards the door.

It’s been a little over a week now since they’ve brought you here — you think. Every day was the same. Sitting on the cold floor of your cell, staring at the camera in the corner of your ceiling, some guard bringing you food, you not eating it, some guard taking it away again and reporting everything to someone, more staring at the camera, someone bringing you food again, you not eating it again, the guard taking it away again and reporting everything, all over again, everyday.

The only slightest bit good and entertaining thing was the colonel — Rick Flag, as you learned was his name — checking up on you every now and then when he didn’t have anything better to do. You didn’t quite understand why Rick was making efforts to look after you, just for you to not answer his questions anyways, but you appreciated it. It made everything a little more bearable.

Of course, you were one of the bad guys, but that doesn’t mean you didn’t have a life outside of assassinations.

When you weren’t working for other bad guys, you loved to just sit in your apartment and read, you loved to go onto high buildings and watch over the city. You dreamed of leaving everything behind and exploring the world someday. You worked at your favourite coffee shop, hell you even had a cat. The thought of your only friend being probably already dead or suffering made you sad, but what could you do about it?

Sometimes, you wish you hadn’t picked the path you were on, but looking back at the time you chose to work for the bad guys, you didn’t really have a choice.

Your train of thoughts was interrupted, when you heard the door to your cell open. Hoping it would be Rick, you looked up, your eyes only half open from the lack of strength you had. What you did not expect was to see Amanda Waller standing in front of you, Rick Flag behind her.

“Stand up”, the woman demanded. You listened, as it was of no use to resist her orders. You slowly got up on your feet, which didn’t last long, since you almost immediately fell over, landing painfully hard on your knees. To your suprise, Rick immediately rushed to your side, helping you stand up again.

“I don’t need him on missions like this”, Waller spoke as she watched you lean onto Rick for support. “Take him to the base, the council and I will be waiting there in the meeting room for him.” With that, Waller left again.

The way to the car wasn’t long, but with you almost not being able to stand on you own, let alone walk on your own, it took a little longer, which only fueled your anxiety. The ride to the base was even worse though, since nobody talked and you had five guards sitting around you.

Finally arriving at the door of the meeting room, which was located in the base, the two guards standing in front of it immediately opened the door as soon as they saw the colonel.

The room was quiet at an instance, when you stepped a food inside, Rick following very close behind you — just in case something should happen.

Amanda Waller stood in front of a group of suit wearing men who all sat at one big round table, most likely discussing something. She gestured you to come next to her, to which you complied.

“And who is this now, Director Waller? A new addition to your group of- freaks?”, asked one of the men as he looked you up and down, probably doubting that someone like you could be much of an good asset.

“This, Gentlemen,”, she grabbed your arm and moved you a little forward, making you almost tumble “is Y/N L/N or ‘Shadow’, he was an assassin for almost five years now, working for several other bad guys. Nobody got a hold of him till now due to his teleporting ability. He has over a hundred confirmed kills and not once did anyone ever get near him. I’m using these electric cuffs”, she grabbed your arm again and lifted it up to present the metal cuff, which was secured around your arm “to block his powers, which means he cannot teleport, as long as the electric shocks are on full power. As soon as I turn down the power a little, he can use his power, it is more draining and limited to a certain radius, but it works. I have him under full control and I want him on the team.” Murmurs broke out between the people in the room, as soon as she finished.

“I’m sorry, director, but do you really think it’s a good idea to put another- another misfit on that team? They’re bad guys and will always stay bad guys, and their freaky abilities make them even more dangerous.”, one of the men in suits spoke.

“As I said, I have him under full control, gentlemen. Let me demonstrate.”, Amanda spoke, turning to you, as the people sitting at the table sat back.

Waller took out some kind of remote and tapped on something. First your body tensed due to all the stress and pain you were under at the moment, but as soon as Amanda tapped on the remote, the electric shocks suddenly weren’t as intense as they were before, and your whole body relaxed, your eyes almost watering due to the wave of relief washing over you.

Rick was more than tense while watched the whole situation, only realizing in how much pain you actually were when Waller turned down the intensity of the electric shocks emmitting from the metallic cuffs you were wearing.

Waller looked you in the eyes with a serious expression on her face. “You disobey, you die, got that?” And suddenly you remembered the injection they gave you, when they first brought you here.

Seeing you had no other choice than obeying her, you simply gave her a small nod and looked around the room, taking in every detail. You looked at the small table in front of you, spotting a sharp knife, which you figured was put there by Amanda specifically for you in this exact situation.

With fast movements, you grabbed the knife and teleported to the other side of the room, holding the knife to one of the mens throat. Everyone in the room stiffened even more, and you heard at least three guns clicking.

Looking up, your eyes met Rick’s, before you looked over to Waller, who was already fixated on you. You slowly pressed the knife more against the man’s throat, wanting to see what Waller was going to do. The next electric shock came and you almost yelled out in pain, letting the knife fall, teleporting back to Waller and falling to your knees, clutching the metal around your neck.

Rick wanted to rush to help you, but was quickly held back by Amanda, gesturing him to wait.

“As you can see, I can control his powers however i want to, and should he disobey in any way, or should his powers bolt”, she tilted your head with her finger, than pressed onto the spot on your neck where they injected you, “he dies.”

Still staring at the ground, you swallowed harshly. You’ve never wanted to go back in time and undo all the bad things that happened so badly like in this specific moment. Maybe if you’re parents hadn’t ever found about your ability, you would still be at home, with your family, not here, being tortured by some government lady who wanted to use you as a weapon.

“There’s one more thing. I don’t need him on any mission in this shape. He needs to recover, quickly, and while doing so, I want him under Rick Flags complete supervision. It might cost a little more effort, but think about of how much use he will be for us”, Amanda said, a mischievous expression crossing her face for a few seconds, that going unnoticed by you and pretty much everyone else in the room.

Three whole months had passed. You’ve been staying with Rick ever since Amanda Waller announced that he had to fully supervise you.

The time you spent with Rick made you feel as if everything wasn’t so bad after all. Occasional talking here and there, Rick cooking something for the both of you every now and then, you almost felt normal again — weren’t there the electric cuffs reminding you of what was real every few minutes.

Over the past three months, your sleep only got worse. You got used to the constant pain by now, but the electricity didn’t only affect you physically, it also messed up your thoughts like hell. Sometimes you didn’t know where up and down was anymore, everything was all over the place inside your mind.

That was also the reason, you were up right now, in the middle of the night, sitting at the big window in your bedroom, looking over the city. You hugged your knees tightly to your chest, and rested you chin on them, letting a few tears slip. You hadn’t cried in a long time, but you were just so exhausted. You were never this close to giving up than right now. Nothing seemed to ever be okay again, you couldn’t do anything but accept your fate.

Being to entangled in your own thoughts, you didn’t hear your bedroom door open.

It didn’t take Rick a long time to spot you in your place at the window. He just came home from a mission that Amanda Waller had wanted you on, but Rick insisted on giving you a little more time to deal with everything.

The tall man closed the door as quietly as he could behind him, which seemed to not be quiet enough, since you jumped slightly at the noise, quickly standing up and turning around. Rick gave you an apologetic look, before slowly walking towards you, “I’m sorry, I should’ve knocked, I just wanted to check up on you and see if you’re alright-“ “It’s fine, I’m fine”, you interrupted him, wiping your tears quickly, taking a deep breath.

Rick frowned, he had never seen you cry before. He cared too much for you and he knew it, he just couldn’t help himself. Stopping in front of you, he looked down at you, only for his eyes to meet yours. For a moment, you both got lost in each others eyes, before you ripped your gaze away, looking to the side.

“Do you want anything else from me?”, you asked shakily, getting a little nervous with his burning stare on you.

“I actually do, yes-“, he hesitated for a moment. You looked up at him with a questioning expression. “Close your eyes”, you complied, closing your eyes slightly, one hand moving to hold onto Rick’s shirt so you didn’t lose your balance. You felt him lean down slightly, till you could fell his warm breath on your cheek. You surpressed a shiver, as he carefully tilted your head.

Now, you didn’t really know what to expect; you and Rick had gotten closer but you weren’t sure, if there were actual romantic feelings, or if he just pitied you, so a kiss wasn’t exactly what you expected. But you definitely would’ve expected it more than what happened next.

A small ‘click’ echoed through the dark room, the next thing you knew was, that all the pain suddenly disappeared. Your eyes watered when you felt Rick’s fingers carefully removing the heavy metallic cuffs around your wrists and neco, pure relief washing over you. Your leaned your body onto Rick’s, unable to support your own weight for a few moments.

When you had finally gained control over your own body again, you moved back a few centimetres and looked up to Rick, who met your confused eyes. “I couldn’t bear to see you in so much pain any longer, so I triedmy best to convince her and I’d say I’m lucky that she trusts me with you.”, the colonel smiled a little, raising a hand to softly carress your cheek. Your eyes widened. He quickly removed his hand again and apologized, “I’m sorry, I don’t know what came over me.”

Rick took a step back, still being careful so you didn’t lose balance again, “I should go, and you should sleep, you need to be well rested and-“

You were fast to interrupt him by taking a quick step towards him, getting a little on your tiptoes, before pressing a small kiss to Rick’s lips. You carefully looked him in the eyes again, “I don’t know either, but it just felt like the right thing to do.”

It took the man a few seconds to process what just happened, but when he did, he was quick to kiss you again, his soft lips over yours, moving slowly, as you kissed back. He put his hands on your waist, while you locked yours behind his neck. You kissed for a few moments, before the both of you had to breathe again. “Thank you”, you whispered against Rick’s lips, before receiving another small peck. “Sleep with me tonight?”, he asked quietly, getting lost in your eyes again. You gave him a small nod, allowing him to pick you up and carry you to his room, both of you smiling as you fell onto the mattress.

[sleepynegress]

On YOU and Black Women Characters, Karen, Sherry, and Marienne...and a little bit of Peach (who is a mixed-race Filipina).

Okay so, that meta... Seeing how Marienne has been handled in the most recent season (among other, IMO, improvements character-wise), while also being all-too-typically handwaved and/or ignored by fandom....I got the urge to write some meta... Because I feel like the difference between how Karen and Peach were written in the first season, vs. Sherry and Marienne in the third, exemplifies typical pitfalls TV and streaming media too often fall into when it codes it's side female black/brown-skinned characters and ways they can avoid it. BTW, one big change this past season is that Penn Badgley is now a producer. And if you've ever heard the man speak on this show and character, among other things... You'll know he makes an effort to be aware of social causes and ways he can personally improve things for marginalized folks. He's a real mensch, when it comes to that. He's been vocal about correcting fans who unironically stan Joe as a romantic ideal... Because yeah, that dude is ALL redflags, stalking, and excuses for his serial killing. Yeah, the voice is nice, and it's fun to watch all of that play-out, but one can stan an anti-hero/villianous charismatic character while understanding that ish isn't something to *actually* want IRL. People. Just to reiterate. JOE IS ONE OF THOSE CHARACTERS for which you stay far away from people w/ those tendencies, in IRL. So... w/ that preface, I think it's incredibly interesting and thoughtful how Marienne and Sherry were handled, as black women supporting characters. ...While Peach and Karen in season one? Yeesh... (cut because it's loooong yall)

Yall remember Karen?? She was thirsty for Joe, unabashedly so.

But the reality was that she was just a convient placeholder, a tool to make Beck jealous. So, the double-edged stereotype was that she was both undesirable and the sexual aggressor *sigh*. ... Thankfully, the one good thing about the writing choices for her was that she peeped that Joe was crazy and she listened to the little voice and got out ALIVE. I hated that she was invisible to him as an actual living breathing attractive woman though, except to be used. Again, this is a typical and stereotypical construct for black women side characters.

HOWEVER. Season three actually corrected that, by explicitly showing Joe as the problem there... And not Karen, or any other WOC's desirability (as is all too typical a message media tends to send out for drop-dead gorgeous black/brown women side characters in yt media). You see, Joe is a snobby yt man who has been running away from his poor-orphan-grown-up-in-the-system roots. His "education" from an abusive bookseller (yikes) and genuine love and breadth of knowledge of books, he thinks, elevates him above certain people, -plebes, in his mind. But oddly, at the same damn time, he looks down his nose at wealthy people for being handed what he sees as something he worked -and was worked over (all that trauma and abuse) for. And all the issues he has (which is NO excuse BTW), stem from his Oedipal complex. The root cause being his "failure" to protect the mother figures in his life, when he was a boy. One rejected him after the trauma of child-Joe having to shoot/kill someone to spare her more harm/abuse, and the other died (in his mind) because he *failed* to act violently to protect her from fatal abuse. Thus, his stalking behaviour, obsession, and feelings of ownship over women he fixates on. He can both "protect" them and keep them from abandoning him, by acting (often violently) for them, on their behalf (w/o their knowledge or consent), to keep them (with him) safe. So every woman he has looked at as "The One" (until Marienne, but I'm getting to that) has been a yt woman who needs saving, just like the nurse and his mom. All were in toxic relationships with other men, in some way shape or form, relationships he could twist in his mind as someone he could white knight her away from... From Beck's narcisisst two-timing boyfriend, to Love's unhealthy co-dependency on her brother, to Natalie's distant relationship w/ her workaholic husband. The difference between them and Marienne though, is Joe was already stalker-fantastizing about them from the first look. Marienne, however, was written as purposely invisible to him, in a expansion (and fix! IMO) for why he *also* didn't see Karen.

I'm saying, that despite Joe having grown up in the system, he's always been a hypocrite. He looks down on other yt people (especially if they have wealth privilege) calls out all of the excesses, while he himself *also* wasn't able to see those he unconsciously saw as beneath *his own* gaze. It was NO ACCIDENT and IMO a brilliantly rare little bit of telegraphed writing...That Joe only started to actually see Marienne as a person beyond the bossy irritant in the way of his book hobby, when he #1 heard the White Woman Syndrome definition and call-out (*lol* Joe didn't know shit about it, until Marienne and Dante told him and took his know-it-all ass down a peg) and #2 learned she spoke French... What I'm saying is Joe is diet-racist, in that yt moderate way MLK called out, i.e. "good" yt people who are unconsciously biased, ignore/prejudge the black people the see everyday, but don't think of themselves as actively racist... And the fact that she "surprised" him, in that way... Made him unconsciously feel like he had to prove he wasn't that typical yt person he tends to eviscerate in his narrations. Because, not only was she dismissed from the jump, but it turned out that she checkmarked all his hallmark stalking points, but went one or two better(!)... In that she has a similar background to himself, having grown up in the system abandoned by her mother, -which is the aspect that cemented his obsession... She is also "educated", has a daughter (which he wanted Henry to be) is a good and loving mom, and is targeted by... you guessed it, a toxic -ex, which makes him feel like the better alternative, necessary protector. So, to him... Marienne is perfect. And for me, it's so fascinating to see White Woman Syndrome, desconstructed and flipped on it's head with this storyline of Joe actively "protecting" her in his fucked up way, i.e. shivering with bug-eyed mania, as he stabbed her -ex multiple times in the chest while saying it was "for her". And that conversation between Marienne and Love??? WHEW!! I fucking LOVED THAT. Because, Love did not lie. Everything she said about Joe was absolutely correct. In fact, the reason why Joe couldn't obsess over Love anymore was because he saw in her, everything he hates about himself. And Marienne?? I loved what she had to say, calling out her own damn self for falling into self-destructive habits. She *admitted* that she had purposely ignored that little voice that told her Joe was bad news (a reason why she played up the suspicion and "tough boss" at first). IOW, Marienne is Joe's ideal self, if Joe had handled his trauma better. She's not out here killing folk. Yes, she fell into addictive substances, but she actively is doing what Joe *wishes* he could about his serial stalking and murdering, and healing herself. That is the root of his fixation... Oh! That's another thing. Joe is a sociopath and a narcissist, so he also fixates on women he sees *himself* in... He loses interest, when he sees the flaws he'd like to fix in himself. And that is why he literally burned his entire life down (including abandoning his son *smh*, mainly because he fears his taint will make the boy just like him) and went to Paris to find her. In the meantime, while I see Marienne as a bit of a correction to how Karen was shafted in the writing, I also see Sherry as a correction to how Peach was done. Peach was a typical bitchy brown girl side-character, without the benefit of nuance, beyond her crush on Beck. Meanwhile, we got to the see the nerdy rejected roots Sherry and the unhealthy coke-head roots of her soulmate husband behind the type-A "mean-girl" too many black and brown girls are simplified into in shows. I liked that. Sherry, was that way to protect both herself and her family from ever being seen as the rejected out crowd, she and her hubby used to be when they were kids. Cory's hyper-fixation on projecting a feminist hyper-masculinity was for her... And kudos to them casting a buff non-ugly partner for her.

I have heard and repeated that actual love is loving the "crust" of a person. And goodness knows, THAT was Sherry/Cary in that box. Just ALL of the most BURNT crumbly, crust pieces ever and *still* beneath that... at their very bottom, was their love. And the delicious irony of it, was that once again... Snob-head-ass Joe (and Love too, this time) got it wrong. They weren't a fake plastic love, but the real damn thing... If I'm being really-real, Love saw that too. It was the reason why she put the gun in the box w/ them. Say what you will about the weirdness of these two, but you CANNOT say they don't love each other. It was to the point that that aspect of their marriage triggered Love, when it came to her and Joe. And that... (a black woman being truly loved and having a "happy" ending) is always subversive in yt media. Also, both the actors gave... *lol* A+ partnering work, in this. I really enjoyed that messy bisexual couple. Anyway... Sorry about the length and scatterbrained aspect of this meta... but I had to write this down.

P.S. I forgot to add Delilah from season 2 as yet another WOC Joe failed to see in that way until she became useful/unavoidable and Ellie as another way he projects protecting himself (and his mom) from trauma. Ellie is a fifteen year old girl w/o parents who most definitely would have been subject to abuse, if Joe had not intervened and killed that grooming creep.
