3.5 Archon Quest spoilers

So basically, the writing team has officially set up the first part of Mona’s reading, that he (thinks) made a clear cut with his past. next time we see him relevant again it’s probably when fate catch up with him :/

#Over all it was a really nice AQ #Although kinda short #Also why do everyone’s pronouns ‘Alberich’ like that help #Were we just wrong the whole time ueshijg #The main thing i got out of this quest was that there is a way to break the curse and chothar did it #Somewhere along the process he had children and thats why his bloodline isn’t effected by the curse #I guess that explains how kaeya was just a normal kid but we don’t know yet #Also why highlight that his mistress was from mond hmmm?? #kaeya #genshin impact

You make sure Kate knows that you are Displeased with the current situation. The 141 gets front row seats.

Warnings: Swearing, Ace is a little shit, mention of blood, mention of injury, mention of stitches. Bits of Ace's backstory.

Word count: 1.2k

Wordlessly, Captain set down a laptop, fiddling with it. Masked man settled into a lean against the wall, while Garrick nodded to you and chose a seat with an empty chair between you.

You were really going to dislike this, you could tell. 

“Kate,” Captain greeted, taking a step back from the laptop. 

“John.” Kate sounded the same as ever. You hunched your shoulders a little, feeling the reprimand coming on. “Ace.”

“Katie Kate,” you grumbled. “And here I thought you couldn’t ground me from another continent.”

“You’ve never tested that theory.” The humor was clear there to you, and you huffed. “Figured it’s time you knew everyone, since they’ll be your backup.”

“Backup?” You sat up straight, ignoring the pull in your side. “I don’t do backup, Kate. Or teams. You knew this at one point in time.”

“You also didn’t go poking around Russian business,” Kate shot back, voice a little harder. “You kept your head down, for the most part.”

You blinked once. Ah. The assassin must have gotten a picture of you, although you doubted that would go far. You were very careful about pictures, after all. “So I’ll find a nice little villa to camp out in for a month until they forget about me.” 

“I can’t give you a month. Not yet.” Kate didn’t even sound apologetic. “Not with the intel you brought back on the Russians and AQ.”

“No good deed goes unpunished,” you grumbled, tapping your foot a few times. “What do you need?” 

“Nothing yet,” Kate promised. “But I do need to know that you’re in.”

You sighed, lifting one hand to rub your forehead. “Katie Kate–”

“Ace.” She softened her tone, just a little. “We need the intel and you need the help, for now.”

You tapped one finger against your lips, gaze dropping to the floor. Doing this would set a dangerous precedent - what would stop Captain or Kate from doing this again? Then again, circumstances were unique. You didn’t often get shot, even less frequently got involved in this kind of danger. You and Kate had worked well for years now, you doubted she’d risk that to try something like this again. She understood she would risk losing you altogether. 

So you decided to risk it.

“This is revenge for crashing that date, isn’t it?” you asked, smirking, leaning back in your seat to your somewhat comfortable slouch. 

Kate sighed. “Ace.”

“Never should have introduced you to your wife,” you continued, gaze darting around the room. Garrick’s mouth dropped open, and Soap’s eyes were huge. “You were less meddlesome when you were buried in your work.” 

“You’ve made your point.” But Kate didn’t sound upset. Win. 

“Fine, fine. I’ll play nice. For now.” You shifted, hiding your pain as your side reminded you that yes you had been shot and you did have stitches in. 

“For once.” Kate huffed. “John.”

Captain didn’t quite roll his eyes, but he was amused. “I’ll keep you updated,” he agreed before ending the call.

“Didn’t know anyone could pull that kind of shite on Laswell,” Soap said, openly curious as he eyed you.

You shrugged. “I have special privileges.” But you were maybe feeling a little bit smug. Just a bit. 

Until you felt something wet drip slowly down your side. Aw, fuck. 

“You never finished my tour,” you said to Soap, blatantly ignoring Captain and Masked Wonder now. 

“Uh.” Soap blinked, looking a little bewildered. 

“Medical.” You stood, raising your eyebrows at him.

“I’ll take you,” Garrick volunteered, popping up out of his seat.

“We’re not done here,” Captain rumbled, arms crossed over his chest, eyes on you.

“Yes we are,” you shot back. “This is me playing nice by staying out of your hair.” You started for the door. 

And halted when Masked Wonder stepped in front of it, casually intimidating. He was even taller than Captain, using his height to his advantage to glower down at you. 

“Are you volunteering too? Very sweet of you, but I’ve already got an escort.” You smiled sweetly up at him, resisting the urge to tuck your hands in your pockets, or ball them into fists. 

“You’re bleeding.”

“I’m aware, that’s why I’m trying to get to medical.” You kept calm, ignoring Captain’s muted swear. 

“Why didn’t you say anything?” Captain strode over, waving Masked Menace out of the way and taking your elbow in his hand. 

“Because it’s not a big deal?” You frowned at him, pulling your arm free of his grip. “Look, Captain, this isn’t going to work if you start fussing over every little drop of blood. I do as a matter of fact know my own limits.” 

“Do you?” He gave you a rather impressive side-eye, looking unconvinced. “It doesn’t seem like you do, showing up here not having slept and having gotten shot.”

“Grazed,” you said, frowning at him. “And that was an aberration, not the rule.” 

“Even so.” He deposited you yet again on a cot in medical, crossing his arms over his chest. 

“Shoo.”

He raised one eyebrow slowly. 

“You heard me. I’m not your employee and I don’t want you here. Shoo.” 

For a moment, you were sure he was going to ignore your wishes. Then he nodded once, jaw tight, and left. 

The nurse gave you a look, and you held your hands up. “Don’t even start,” you grumbled. 

While the nurse tutted and replaced the stitch you had popped, you went back to planning how to get out of Dodge. Before you went mad and/or murdered someone. 

(Before Captain had a chance to hurt you.) 

The nurse told you to wait after bandaging you up, probably to find one of your minders again. You just… conveniently ignored that suggestion and sauntered out the other door. 

Let this be a test, then. See how long you could wander. 

Admittedly, sunshine felt nice. It had been… a while since you’d allowed yourself a chance to relax. And you weren’t truly relaxed, not here. You wouldn’t be until you were somewhere far away and alone. But… Well, nobody was going to shoot you here, and there was a bench in the sunshine, and you were kind of tired still…

You jolted awake to someone sitting down next to you. Garrick mercifully gave you a few moments to recombobulate yourself and remember what was going on. 

“You alright?” He kept his voice quiet, looking up at the sky. 

You blinked at him. “Of course.” The answer was easy. It didn’t even occur to you to give him anything more than that.

His lips tightened, just for a moment, before he nodded. “Think Soap’s pulling out a board game, if you want in.” He grinned at you, warm and inviting. But he was smart, this one. He didn’t push, he offered. 

His Captain could learn a thing or two from him. 

“Sure,” you agreed with a shrug, pushing yourself to your feet. “Why not.”

Realm of the Elderlings Ask Meme Thing

This is so fun, thanks for the tag @mellowthorn!! <3

Favorite RotE book: Fool’s Fate

Why: Fool’s Fate and Fool’s Errand are both at the top of my list, but I have to give this one to FF because I don’t think any other book has made me lose my mind quite like this one. Robin Hobb said hi I wrote a book with every single gay fanfic trope in it and also it’ll shatter your heart into a million pieces! There’s dragons! What more could you want really

Top three favorite characters: Beloved, (I want to also list Amber but idk if that counts,) Fitz, Kettricken

Top three least favorite characters: Tats, Lant, Greft

Favorite ship (of the floating kind): Paragon! Tarman literally walking up the river with his little feet is very important to me though

Top three favorite ships (of the people kind): Fitzloved, Patience and Lacy, Erek and Detozi.

Would you rather be Witted or Skilled: Witted

If you were Witted, what animal would you bond with? Probably a dog or some kind of bird. Actually wait I started thinking about different forest animals and now I desperately want a possum as a wit partner

Would you rather live in the Outislands, the Mountain Kingdom, the Six Duchies, Bingtown, the Rain Wilds, Kelsingra, Jamaillia, the Pirate Isles, or Fool’s Homeland? The mountain kingdom sounds like such a nice place to live! I’d travel to the other places when I inevitably got too cold lmao

How were you introduced to the books? My mutuals were losing their minds over the series and I am very easily influenced when it comes to books ( @lordgolden I think your posts were the ones that convinced me to start reading it actually, thank you for the incurable brainrot <3)

Share a quote you love: There are so many, but the first one that came to mind was “If there must be another my fate is twined around, I am glad it is you.”

That whole section of AQ is what made me truly fall in love with the series. Fitz and Beloved’s relationship is so beautiful and complicated and tortured and it did truly change my brain chemistry!! The fact that they don’t need to have an explicitly romantic or sexual relationship to be the most important people in each other’s lives also just means a lot to me. (And despite all that they literally do have soul sex on the page. No one’s doing it like them)

Tagging: I know a lot of people have been tagged in this already, so if you like RotE and haven’t been tagged yet consider this your tag!

What’s In A Name [ Din Djarin x OC ]

[ Post season 3 / no smut (but allusion to it?) / fluff / established relationship ]

Contents: Din Djarin’s wife finds out that naming conventions on Aq Vetina aren’t the same as Mandalore.

Notes: based almost entirely on the works & verse established between myself & the incredible @joelsgirl . Couldn’t ask for a better writing buddy & friend 💜

——

Nyssa has lost count of how long exactly she’s been with him. Long enough that she knows beyond a doubt that he’s her person. That anyone else in the galaxy could want her and she’d be blind to them, because for her, there’s nobody else.

Originally she had meant to be nothing more than a bounty, a quick way to make some credits. A mouthy droid mechanic that he’d picked up on Tatooine but gotten inexplicably attached to.

They could have gone their separate ways, but she had chosen him, just as much as he had chosen her. She would always choose him.

The day he put the beskar choker around her throat - engraved with the symbol of his clan, the Mandalorian equivalent of a wedding ring - she felt like she could finally breathe. Like she could exhale a breath she didn’t know she had been holding, finally secure in knowing that she meant as much to him as he did to her.

She hasn’t taken it off since. While she’s an outsider, unbound by the Creed, the necklace marks her as one of them. Part of his clan. His family.

Him, her, and the kid. She knows Grogu won’t be their only child, knows this like she knows the sound of his boots approaching, knows her own name, knows the sound of their hearts pounding together late at night.

Which is why she currently feels like an absolute bonehead.

It’s been eating away at her for a few days now, since they settled into the house on Nevarro. The way the Armourer named her, named Grogu. Not as Vanyssa and Grogu Djarin, but as Din Vanyssa, Din Grogu.

The absolute shame when she realised that all this time, she’s been his wife, and she hasn’t even been using his name right.

“Why didn’t you tell me I was using your family name?” She peers down at him; he’s sitting on the bench on the porch, had been considering whittling a piece of wood into a flute before she came out to speak to him.

It’s nice to see him without his helmet on, though it’s sitting beside him in case they have unexpected company. By the laws of his religion, only her and his children can see his face.

He turns his head slightly to look at her, expression blank.

“What do you mean?”

“All this time, I’ve been calling you Din, but that’s your family name, right?” Nyssa turns red, ashamed that she didn’t ever realise.

He gives her a half shrug, gets to his feet. He doesn’t want her upset over it, it really isn’t that big of a deal to him.

“Does it matter? Everyone gets it round the wrong way. Mandalorians - born Mandalorians - go first name then last name.”

“But your birth culture doesn’t.” It’s a statement, not a question.

“No. On Aq Vetina, the family name goes first. Even though in every sense of the word I adopted the Mandalorian culture, values and Creed, I kept the naming convention of my home world.”

“I feel like an ass.”

“Why? I never bothered to correct you. Few enough people know my name as it is. What’s it matter if they get the order wrong?”

“It doesn’t bother you?”

He shrugs again. “A name is a name.”

Nyssa crosses her arms.

“I’m your wife. I’m supposed to know these things.” As she says it, though, she’s starting to get the idea that maybe he’s not as bothered by this as she is.

He’s used to living in societies where the naming convention goes first name then last name, not the other way round. That without him bothering to correct her, how would she know?

He looks at her with that same unreadable expression for a moment before the faintest hint of a smirk crosses his face, hands rubbing her shoulders in a comforting gesture.

“Frankly, I don’t care which of my names you use. Half the time, you call me daddy anyway, so…”

Nyssa sputters, cheeks going red. He watches her, amused by her embarrassment.

“Truly, though, love. It doesn’t matter. You know now.”

Wrapping his arms around her, he pulls her nice and close, leans down to kiss her.

Immediately she loops her arms around his shoulders, one hand settling in his hair as she leans into the kiss.

“You know… about that daddy thing…”

He freezes, stares at her in complete shock.

“Are you-?”

She gives him the smallest, shyest smile that is so unlike her usual confidence that it almost melts him.

“I hope the house is big enough for a clan of four…”

He says nothing, leans down to kiss her again, soft and gentle and loving. Damn, guess the work on the house can’t wait after all.

[haunted-xander]

Fontaine, as a whole, is a nation I feel was so nearly perfect, but also just... somewhat unsatisfying.

Like, the exploration is nice, the puzzles and mechanics are fun, but... it's so easy. I have the entire map 100%. I didn't use a guide for most of it (only for Special Stuff like the treasure maps and foggy branches), nor did I have the treasure compass. All I had to help me was the hydroculus resonance gadget. The only regions in the game I got to 100% without any guides before was Galesong Hill (which, tbh, most ppl probably have at 100% or close %), and Hypostyle Desert (simply bc the underground ruins were so much fun to explore). Everywhere else I used a guide for at some point. During 4.0 I literally felt like I had to hold back on exploring just to not finish it too quickly. Yeah.

The world quests have a lot of interesting stuff going for them, especially the Narzissenkreuz questline and the ones in/around Merusea Village. But... they feel like they're missing something. I don't feel like I'm properly done with any of them, even though there isn't really anything more to add. The Narzissenkreuz quests had a very strong start, I cared about the characters involved and the lore they're a part of, and having it be 3 questlines that combine into one comprehensive story was really fun, but the ending feels... unceremonious almost. I can't pinpoint what's wrong with it, it answered what it needed to and it made it clear what everyone was doing going forward, but... it feels off. Anticlimatic, almost, despite it having the climax it needed. The world quest I was most satisfied with was the Questioning Melusine And Answering Machine quests, and it's a largely self-contained one. Everything else feels... unfinished, almost. But also not.

And the Archon Quests are so so good, but also... weird at parts. First of all, Childe's out-of-nowhere traumadump early on is jarring, especially since... they didn't really follow up with it properly? Like yes, the Narwhal and Skirk ended up relevant but... not to him, for the most part. The important questions this conversation prompted wasn't elaborated or followed up on, which is what could've justified including it at all. We still have no more clues as to why the Narwhal connected with him, we don't know what caused his restlessness or why his vision messed up, and Skirk was kinda just... there. She loredumped and that was that.

There's other oddities too, like Traveler getting upset at the twins for hiding their Fatui affiliation. Traveler has every right to be upset with them in that moment but... not for that. They should be upset because they lied about the magic show, not about being Fatui. Like, you literally called Childe you're friend just the other day! And he's literally tried to kill you (well, okay, not "kill", but he was still an enemy)! And later on you're suddenly fine with Arlecchino, a person we have seen time and time again is an absolutely terrible person? Because, what, she cared about this one specific problem that affected innocent lives? Really?

Furina and Childe not getting checked up on by basically anyone at the end of 4.2s AQ feels not only out of character (you're gonna tell me Traveler isn't gonna check on them after all that happened? Really?) but also just... very shitty. The only one who seemed to even care was Neuvillette, everyone else just kinda... forgot about those two. Despite the fact that 1) Furina was a well liked public figure who, even after the truth was revealed, people very much still cared about, and 2) Childe literally saved the entire nation but stalling the Narwhal for over a month. Even Neuvillette couldn't so much as deter that thing until he got his full powers back, and you're telling me nobody, not even the people who where directly saved by him, even wondered what became of him? Really?

The characters are fantastic here, don't get me wrong, everyone is lovely and I adore them all, but the way the story handled certain things is just... not great. It's unsatisfying. It feels like there were things they wanted to do but either chickened out of or simply didn't get to include. It's so jarring.

#i didnt mean for it to get so long but oh well #fontaine is so so good but just. somewhat off. and unsatisfying #also when i was going through the narzissenkreuz line #during 4.0 i felt like the cut-off for the next stage(s) of the quest for 4.1 was this... awkward cliffhanger #like yes ofc i understood they had to cut it off so they could continue in another patch #but the way they did it felt so weird and odd #and the cut-off for 4.1 to 4.2 was even worse #because not much even happened there other than caterpillar getting introduced and included #the story didnt really... progress #and then when it did conclude in 4.2 it didnt feel good #it was odd and unsatisfying #even though i dont know whats missing #i realize i used unsatisfying to describe it a lot but #that is what it is #unsatisfying #maybe the interlude chapter will help improve it #or maybe it wont #sigh. i miss sumeru. it had its own issues but the writing and exploration was peak #and the lore! the lore was amazing! #i miss sand. i want to explore the desert all over again it was so much fun #4.2 spoilers #childe #tartaglia #ajax #genshin impact #xander rambles

“Distant Shores” (Voyager short story collection, 2005) review: meh

I'd hoped this collection would be better, frankly; luckily the stories that involve B'Elanna (and there were quite a few of them, to my surprise) are mostly okay. Kes also appears prominently in at least two stories but Harry didn't really get one where he's the protagonist, and I'm surprised none involved Naomi or the Borg kids. Three stories seemed very concerned with the surviving Equinox crew and at least two seemed to want to vindicate them somehow?? I don't know, weird choices. But regardless, the problem wasn't so much in the ideas but in the execution, which was often atrocious.

story-by-story breakdown under the cut

“Da capo al fine” by Heather Jarman - this is the 'frame' story, you get to read the first half at the beginning and the second half at the end, but this story doesn't work so well for this purpose as the one on “The Lives of Dax” did for that collection. The plot is about Admiral Janeway and her last moments with the Borg Queen in “Endgame” but, idk. I think the author wanted to write a reckoning with all of Janeway's arch-nemeses but the story fails to have any stakes.

“Command Code” by Robert Greenberg - Tuvok and Chakotay get snippy on the bridge once Chakotay is left in command very soon after “Caretaker”. The concept is intriguing! Unfortunately the author's style is as dull as watching paint dry.

“Winds of Change” by Kim Sheard - this one was really fun! After being possessed by Tieran, Kes is struggling with her anger and reactivity so she goes to B'Elanna for help, and they try some of B'Elanna's sports holoprograms. This does not go well! Everything seems lost until B'Elanna offers a different approach to holoprograms, and it turns out they can work well together. This was just a really nice take on a dynamic that was really underexplored in the show (the author makes a point to say so as explicitly as she can), and it's honestly one of the best stories in the bunch.

“Talent Night” by Jeffrey Lang - my man Jeffrey (of “String Theory - Cohesion” fame) contributes to the collection with a hilarious story concept and great characterization for all involved, mostly B'Elanna, Tom and Harry, who are in charge of organizing said talent night. I can almost forgive the fact that it just an elaborate setup to get B'Elanna and Tom together by making B'Elanna needlessly jealous. Almost.

“Letting Go” by Keith R. A. DeCandido - this story is about the ones 'left behind' by Voyager, the families and loved one of the crew back in the AQ. I think I would've liked this way more if the author had chosen to follow anyone else other than Janeway's fiancé Mark. I liked how grounded the story is in the events of DS9 and First Contact and the range of reactions that all these people have to Voyager's disappearance, but I found myself wondering more about Greskrendtregk and T'Pel than Mark. I also found it hilarious that the story ends with Mark having married someone else and having to write to Janeway, who he's just learned is still alive, about it. I have to say though that it was a nice touch to have a lot of the people involved be the families of the crewmen who died in “Caretaker”—they obviously don't know what happened but the reader does, so their presence lends a lot of emotional gravity to the narrative.

“Closure” by James Swallow - Seven and Neelix get trapped in a cave that used to be inhabited by aliens and Neelix walks off to find a way out when—Kes shows up. Is it a vision, induced by the Ocampa artifacts in the cave? Is it actually Kes who's come back to say goodbye? It doesn't make much difference to Neelix, who is very glad to see her again. I think I would've appreciated this story more if it hadn't turned Neelix into too much of a lovesick fool; I don't like the idea that he actually never got over Kes with this kind of intense sentimentality. The story was enjoyable but something about it rubbed me the wrong way.

“The Secret Heart of Zolazus” by Robert T. Jeschonek - this one is terrible. Seven crash-lands on a planet and is saved by an outcast who pretty much gives her life for Seven and it's supposed to be ~inspirational~ or something but it's written in a way that... I don't know, reads exactly like one of those corny christian moral stories? I swear it's one of the most artless, embarrassing things I've read this year. The one thing it has going on is that Seven gets to kneel beside this dying alien girl who's taken a hit for her and so you can read some subtext in there, but the horrifying ableism is truly not worth the ticket!

“Isabo's Shirt” by Kirsten Beyer - the horrors aren't over though because this story is worse!! It's unabashedly J/C but oh boy both Chakotay and Janeway are so HORRIBLY out of character I couldn't cope. How did this even get published? Is this shipping brain at its worst?? Plus it's embarrassingly racist. I was never particularly interested in this ship but if THIS is in any way representative I am for sure steering well clear.

“Brief Candle” by Christopher L. Bennet - note: if you can't understand the distinction between romance and workplace sexual harassment you should probably not be writing romance! This is particularly galling because this is the 'Marika Wilkarah lives on Voyager for a few weeks' story which is something I wanted to see explored for a long time, and like... Marika HAS some interiority and convictions in this story but 1. we never see her really interact with other Bajorans if not in hindsight (why??) 2. her remaining resentment for Seven is barely mentioned and 3. she basically wants to be close to someone before dying and? essentially harasses Harry into having a relationship with her?? what???? If this were a fic it should get a 'dead dove do not eat' label. That was so, so awful and such a disappointment for the interesting concept this story promised to be. As I said in a previous post, the one thing this story has got going on is that Marika sides with B'Elanna during the events of “Barge of the Dead”, which I think it's a great take! But not enough to make me forget how bad the rest is.

“Eighteen Minutes” by Terry Osborne - the story of the time the Doctor spent on the planet from “Blink of an Eye” before he got beamed back to Voyager. I'm always extremely ambivalent about Doctor episodes/stories and this one is no exception. On one hand, the conflict he faces between his programmed-in hippocratic oath and the prime directive is believable, but on the other it ends up being another one of those weird power fantasies in which the Doctor gets the boundless gratitude and undying affection of the people around him because... he's done his job as a medical practitioner? It feels in character but I don't have to like it!

“Or The Tiger” by Geoffrey Thorne - LOVELY B'Elanna characterization in this one right until the ending, which I hated. Authors always tend to exaggerate B'Elanna's propensity for violence when in reality the show consistently shows her being very restrained and extremely remorseful whenever she snaps (and she only snaps because people tell her constantly that she's unable to control herself!) It's one of those stories where the point is 'aw the Equinox crew is trying very hard to make amends and the Voyager people are being mean to them' which... baffles me as a setup? It was interesting to see B'Elanna believably get into a rabbit hole when confronted with new technology that could help Voyager! But I'm not sure she wouldn't have snapped out of it as soon as it was pointed out to her that she might've been hurting living beings with her actions. We've seen B'Elanna struggle with this kind of moral quandaries before (“Prototype” and “Dreadnought” come to mind), so that the conflict dragged out for as long as it did here (and that she beat someone up for it!) feels deeply out of character to me.

“Bottomless” by Ilsa J. Bick - another one of 'the Equinox crew deserved a second chance!' stories, this time with crewman Marla Gilmore. I loved the technological conundrum (what do you do if your submersible is stuck on the bottom of the sea??) and Marla's lingering guilt and resentment felt believable and genuine. Shame that she expresses this mostly by being mean to B'Elanna (thought it happens mostly in her head), and you get the feeling she's just sharing the author's POV, since she has Tom saying some terrible garbage too... there's really nothing quite as diabolic as misogyny (and misogyny that's racially coded) coming from women authors! Ultimately Marla sacrifices herself to save Janeway and Chakotay and in so doing she expiates all of her Equinox sins, which would be okay (I guess) if it wasn't the exact same plot of “Brief Candle”, for some reason.

Love Birds

Episode 3: Welcome to happy harbour

Miss M burnt her cookies, red tornados ‘playing pranks’ and Nightingale and Robin are getting shipped hardcore by the team. Roy’s still emo and alone, but we love that.

MOUNT JUSTICE

“Who ate my waffles!?” Wally says barging into the room interrupting the movie.

“No one Wally, your crazy. You never had waffles” I say keeping the straightest face possible. Truth is Robin and I ate them and put the movie half way to look like we were busy.

“Yup. You’re crazy Wally” Robin adds on.

“Of course you lie for your girlfriend” Wally says walking off to find Aqualad to complain probably.

“We’re not- we aren’t?” Robin says with bright red cheeks.

“NoOo we, we aren’t” I say looking anywhere but his face.

“Actually. Can we talk about-“ Robin gets cut off with Wally running into the room yelling.

“I GOT AQUALAD TO CHECK THE CAMERAS YOU BOTH TAG TEAMED IT!”

Aqualad walks in afterwards

“Honestly. I don’t really care” he says causing me to laugh. Man these guys are hilarious.

STAR CITY July 17

23:16 PDT

Two men open a crate, sliding doors open to reveal box's of equipment clearly not aware of their surroundings, until out of nowhere an arrow shoots from somewhere in-front of the men gassing them.

A man raises a gun getting ready to shoot the mysterious interference, speedy looks down at the man.

"You again!" The man clearly says agitated.

"I'm starting to get offended green arrow doesn't want to interfere personally" The man speaks before shooting his gun towards speedy, as the man shoots speedy avoids the bullets by a range of moves.

Then shooting an arrow at his gun destroying the gun. "Scorch him boys"

Kid Flash speeds in knocking the guns out of the mens hands.

After Kid Flash runs in Robin swings in throwing a bird-a-rang before leaping away Nightingale hops down kicking a man in the face and leaping off landing and sweeping two men off there feet knocking them out.

Aqua Lad then starts knocking out the few people left. The rest watch as Roy runs across shipping containers, the man throwing chunks of cement at him.

As the rock is about to hit speedy Aqua Lad dumps in slicing the rock. Aqua Lad starts speaking.

"The cave has everything you need"

"For covert missions" Robin says

"Spy stuff, ya know all the good stuff" Nightingale adds.

"Oh plus super boy and Miss Martian, also I saw her first" KF says.

"Seriously KF?" Nightingale says dead panning.

Then they all jump separate ways avoids rocks.

"Tell arrow he shouldn't send boys to do a man's job" Nightingale's head perks up.

"That man better hope she's in a good mood" Robin says looking towards Kid Flash.

"Eh probably not" Kid Flash says before they both look over to Nightingale and watch her use her grappling hook on to a block of cement and throws it full force at the man's head.

Speedy stabilised him and Nightingale knocked him out with the cement.

"Pfft a man's job, yea right" then she jumps and lands near the dude in smug.

The white of robins mask wides and Kid flashes jaw dropped and ran of to stand next to the two and robin leaped off the container.

"Nice" Kid Flash said to Nightingale fist bumping her which she returns.

"So you in?" Robin asks speedy.

They look at speedy waiting for an answer.

"Pass, I'm done letting the league tell me what to do, I don't need a babysitter or a house hangout with the other kids, your junior justice league is a joke" speedy says

Y/N looks down at that answer hoping it would have been something different, then speaks.

"You don't wanna be apart of a team? All of us working together to get the bad guys?"

"No, I don't want any part of it"

"But Roy-"

"Drop it Y/- Nightingale, just drop it"

He looks at the team before walking off into the shadows.

MOUNT JUSTICE July 18

11:16 EDT

-Y/N's POV-

"Recognised robin B-01 KF B-03 Nightingale B-02" We smile at each other before walking in.

"Did you ask him?"

"What'd he say?"

"Is he on his way?"

The three of us say at the same time.

"He arriving now" Aqua Lad says

"Then what are we waiting for?" Wally says

The three boys run off and I smile at M'gan and super boy then walk after them. The huge back passage way opens and red tornado flys down.

"Red Tornado!"

"Greetings, is there a reason you intercept me outside the cave"

"We hoped you had a mission for us"

"Mission assignments are the Batman's responsibility"

"But its been over a week and-"

"You'll get one soon enough, for the time being enjoy each other's company"

"This team is not a social club"

"No, I'm told socialising is an important team building exercise perhaps you can keep each other company by familiarising yourselves with the cave"

"Does he think we're falling for this?" Robin says

"Oh! I'll find out.. uh I'm sorry I forgot he's a machine, inorganic, I cannot read his mind"

I saw a nice bird so I was looking at it, then another bird flew next to it and they nuzzled there heads together,they looks so peaceful yet so worries for the others safety.

My thoughts are interrupted by a buzz from my phone.

From dick? I look to my left and he smiles holding his phone, I open the text.

-----------------------------------------------------

I look up from my phone feeling it buzz a few times before putting it in the back pocket of my jeans.

I look to Rob and see him frowning I giggle and shake my head before looking to Wally who's leaning closer to M'gan.

"Can you guess what I'm thinking right now?"

I walk over to him and smack him is the back of his head lightly but still.

"We all know what your thinking" Robin says

"And now we tour the club house" Aqua Lad says.

"Well super boy and I live here we can play your guides" M'gan says and we look to super boy.

"Don't look at me" super boy said

"Private tour sounds fun" Wally says.

"She never said private tour idiot, don't mind him M'gan" I say and we all walk in.

Robin and I look at each other and nod both of us grab one of Wally's arms and pull him back on to the floor before we speed up to the group and Wally's on the floor.

M'gan shows us all around the cave, the group were talking about the cave when M'gan said

"If villains know about the cave we must be on high alert"

Robin grabs M'gan's hand

"The bad guys don't know we know so we're safe here" M'gan looks to me and takes her hand away from robin and Wally takes his place.

I looks towards M'gan

"hey" I start freaking out hearing M'gan's voice in my head.

The feeling causes a pang of pain.

"I can communicate with people telepathically." She says

"Oh it’s just you! That’s really interesting M’gann" I say before she starts speaking again.

"So Robin huh?" She says

"what no we're good friends that's all." I say before she smiles and says

"we can talk more about this later they might think it's weird we're so quite."

I nod and we look back to the boys.

"Uh he means we're hiding in plain sight" Wally says.

"Oh that's so much clearer" M'gan says

Super boy starts sniffing the air?

"I smell smoke" He says

"Oh no Night our cookies." She flys off and I follow behind her. Ignoring that I almost tripped over air.

M'gan opens up the oven to reveal burnt cookies

"Oh M’gann, I’m sorry I put the heat to high" I say

"Of course you did" Robin says and smiles slinging his arm around my shoulder.

"Hey, I bet they would've tasted great, he doesn't seem to mind"

We look to Wally watching him eat the burnt cookies

"I have a serious metabolism" he Replies with

"We'll make more?" M'gan says

"Honestly Wally, keep eating stuff like that and your going to get sick" I say

"Pfft don't even worry about it n/n" Wally says

"N/n?" M'gan asks, Robin and I glare at Wally

"Dude!" We both say

"It was sweet of you to make any"

"Thanks"

"Thanks Aqua lad" M'gan says

"We're off duty call me Kaldur'am"

"Actually my friends call me Kaldur"

"I'm Wally"

"You could not have said that in a creeper tone" I say

"Agreed" Robin says

"Whatever, anyway I trust you with my identity unlike Mr and Mrs Dark glasses over here, Batman's forbidden boy and girl wonder from telling anyone their real name"

"Shut up Wallace" I say

"Mines no secret it's M'gan M'orz but you can call me Megan it's an earth name and I'm on earth now"

“I think M’gann sounds like an awesome name” I say smiling.

M'gan starts to stare at super boy then out of no where-

"Get out of my head!" He yells

We all look to M'gan and I hear her voice in my head.

'What's wrong? I don't understand this is how everyone communicates on mars'

"M'gan stop" Kaldur says

"Things are different here on earth, your powers are and invasion of privacy."

"P.S the Genomes at Cadmus left a bad state In his brain" Wally adds on

"I-I didn't mean to-" she was interrupted by Super Boy

"Don't. Stay out" Super Boy leaves and we all look to M'gan.

Then she slaps herself in the forehead

"Hello M'gan, I know what we can do" and she flys out, the three boys and I look to each other and Robin shrugs and we all walk up to follow her.

"Wait where did M'gan go" I ask Rob

"Went back for Super Boy I think" he answers

"Oh yea-" As I am about to finish my sentence I trip over my stupid shoelace, From behind me I hear Robin laughing causing Wally to start laughing.

Still laughing slightly Rob walks over to me and grabs my hand to help me up.

"How dare you both laugh" I say huffing and turning around to not face the two boys hunched over laughing.

I walk over to Kaldur to get away from them

"Hey Kaldur"

"Hello Nightingale, are you ok? That was quite the fall" he smiles

"Yes I'm fine but those to idiots won't stop laughing at me" I point to the two laughing on the floor.

I look at them and start remembering something from when me and Dick were little.

"Miss Y/N, your father would like to see you down stairs"

"Okay Alfred!" I say walking out of my room and see the huge stairs so I slide down the rim  and land.

"Y/N" I hear my father say, I look up to see my father, and a boy?

"This is Richard, he's going to be living with us, you'll make him feel at home won't you?"

"Yes daddy!" I walk over to the boy slightly taller than me

"Come with me" I say smiling

"We can play with my toys" he looks at my hand and back at me I smile again and he takes my hand.

"O-ok" he says quietly

"Yay!" And I lead him to my room

"Bye daddy, bye Alfred" I say and we walk into my room and sit near my toy box.

"My names Y/N, your name's Richard right?" 

"Yea but you can call me dick"

"Alrighty, here you can be the dude in distress and I'll be your hero!" I say passing him a blue cape.

"Ok.."

"Daddy and Alfred can be the baddie's c'mon!" We leave the room and Dick sits on a couch being surrounded by Alfred and I say.

"Stop right there evil doer's!" Alfred smiles at the cuteness of the child, then daddy jumps in front of me.

"Careful hero, any closer and the cookie prince is gone." Daddy says

"Let him go or I'll use my super hero moves to defeat you!" I say

He doesn't move so I slide under him and tap Alfred with my plastic bat-a-rang and throw one at daddy.

"Sir are you ok?" I say in a deep voice

"Mhm Thank-you" dick says and we start running around giggling and I pass him some of my plastic gadgets and we play hero's and villains laughing and enjoying our selves

I was so happy

Coming back from my flashback the boys have stopped laughing and we all head to the elevator

"My Martian bio ship" M'gan says and we all walk over to the red oval shaped ship.

"Cute. Not Arrow dynamic, but cute"

"It's at rest silly, I'll wake it" she taps the ship and it enlarges

"Sweet!" I say

"Well, are you coming?" We all walk over to the ship

"Strap in for launch" robin, Wally and I look at each other and run to a seat in the ship I sit in front of robin.

After we're in the air robin says

"Incredible"

"Mhm she sure is- I mean the ship which like all ships is a she" Wally responds with

"Fast with his feet not so much with his mouth" I say

"Dude!"

Me and Robin look to super boy then M'gan

"He'll come around" Robin says

"Just give him some time" I say smiling

"Thanks but he doesn't seem to like me" M'gan says disappointed.

"You guys remember he has super hearing right?" Wally whisper shouts

"Oh my gosh, thanks Sherlock Holmes" I say in a sarcastic tone, robin chuckles at that.

"Hey how about you show us some Martian shape shifting?" Robin says

M'gan gets up changing her look into a- female robin? My jaw dropped

"that's hot" I say before asking a question

"Wait M'gan can you do me in robins suit?"

"Sure can" she says changing into me with Robs suit

I turn around to see Rob red in the face which makes me turn red so we both turn away. Weird.

"Red tornado to miss Martian, mission alert has been issued at a power plant, I suggest you investigate, sending coordinates now"

A huge tornado crashes into us moving us the wrong way but M'gan is able to land the ship.

Robin looks at me and I nod and we vanish into the shadows but not before laughing his famous laugh.

.

.

"Goddamn you dumb Tin can" I say before getting blown back and flip off the wall avoiding getting smashed against the wall.

Looking to my left I see Rob get thrown to the wall smashing into it, I run over helping him up

"Who's your new friend" Super Boy says as he lands next to Robin And I

"Didn't catch his name!" I yell over the tornados coming from the machine that looks similar to red tornado.

"He plays kinda ruff!" Rob adds on.

"My apologies you may address me as Mr.Twister"

The team start to split each doing a different thing to try take this guy down.

Most of the team excluding Me and robin get thrown down to the ground

"I was prepared to be challenged by a super hero I was however not expecting children"

Twister striking a nerve in Rob.

"We're not children!" He yells and he throws bombs towards Twister

"You will fail just like the rest of your team. Now leave your presents is disturbing my plans"

"Well we hate to see you disturbed, let's see if your more turbed once we kick your can" Robin says using another one of his words that he made up.

We all get flung by the tornado Rob, Aqua Lad and I get thrown into each other causing a collision.

"Hey.. are you ok?" Rob says helping me up

"Yea let's go"

We all run towards where KF was after all the Team starts yelling at the tin can asking him why he's doing this and what he wants.

M'gan saved KF.

"M'gan read his mind" Aqua Lad says

"You said not to"

"It's ok with the bad guys" Robin says in a rush

"Hello Megan, Twister is Red tornado is disguise he's a inorganic android"

We all are super pissed thinking red tornado is playing a stupid joke on us.

"We know who you are and what you want" Robin says then a huge storm appears

"Can red tornado do that?" I ask

"You think I'm tornado?" Twister says almost laughing at the remark.

Super boy jumps up and attempts to punch twister but gets thrown to the ground.

I get him to throw me towards twister in attempts to get a bomb on his power source and I do and get thrown to the ground with the rest of my team everything going black due to the impact.

.

.

I get shook awake

"Wake up Night" Robin says and Super Boy starts yelling at M'gan.

"You tricked us into thinking Twister was red tornado!"

"She didn't do it on purpose" I say struggling to stand due to the pain on my back

"It was a mistake we shouldn't have listened to her" Robin says holding me up by my waist

"Hit the showers we'll take it from here. Night are you coming with us?" KF says

"Yea I'm coming, let's go" I say looking to M'gan with a sympathetic smile

I expect Robin to let go so we can follow KF but he looks at me for less than a minute in silence

"Uh yea let's go" he says and we run off to go help KF, Aqua Lad not far behind

Robin throws a bomb at twister and I mange to get a few bomb on him causing him to stumble.

Robin, KF and I are hiding behind a boat.

I pull out my utility belt and so does Rob

"You guys brought your utility belts?"

"Never leave home with out it first thing Batman taught me"

"Dad said I need to have it with me at all times" I say.

'All of you' I hear M'gan's voice in my head

'I have a plan'

.

.

Red tornado flys down

"Hit the showers kids, I was hoping you could handle this"

"But we have a plan now" robin says

"Go back to the cave" Red tornado says

And we walk off.

After getting the signal from M'gan everyone does there part of the plan KF starts to make tornados, super boy beating the android up throwing him to the water.

Aqua Lad from the water rips his arms off and throws the android back to land and M'gan holds him up in the air and Rob and I throw our bombs causing him to plummet to the ground.

We stand informer of twister and he opens up to reveal- a man?

"I-I call foul" the man says and M'gan telepathically picks up a rock ready to smash him.

"M'gan NO!" Aqua Lad yells and the boys were all shocked.

"Don't know how things are down on mars but on earth we don't execute our captives" Robin says not realising why she smashed the man.

I hit him on the shoulder

"How about you trust her Rob" I say

"Yea, you said you trust me" M'gan says

Robin looks at me confused as to why I would be ok with this till he turns around revealing the 'man' was a crushed android.

"That's why I couldn't read his mind, thanks for trusting me Nightingale" M'gan says

"No problem" I say smiling

Wally picks up the androids eye

"Cool, Souvenir!" He says

Rob pulls me to the side

"Sorry for not believing you or M'gan, I should've known you wouldn't be ok with that if there wasn't a reason." He says

"Heh your all red" I say smiling

"Oh yea?" He looked at me and pecked my cheek causing me to go bright red

"Who's all red now?" He says before slinging his arm around me leading me over to the group.

"M'gan, just ignore him we're just all turbed your on the team" Rob says to M'gan

"Thanks" M'gan says

.

.

We're all gathered around a table looking at the crushed android and analysing who he was and what he wanted.

"Is that why you didn't want to help, because he was an android?" M'gan asks

"No this was your battle" Red tornado says before walking off

"Guess if we're gonna have a babysitter, a heartless machine is exactly what we need"

"Dude harsh" Wally says

"Inaccurate I have a heart, steal alloy. I Also have great hearing" red tornado says still walking off

"Hehe right sorry I'll strive to be more accurate" Robin says

"And more respectful" Aqua Lad says.

“Yea Robin, more respectful” I say before we all walk off to the zeta, to go home for the day.

[deci-doodles]

Misc assortment of OC doodles from recently that I had no idea how to post individually so I’ll just compile them :p feat previously shown family members+Tiziri in some outfits besides her Eremite one, and also me attempting to design Itto’s parents coz why not

More info+rambling under the cut

Aight SO,

Tiziri’s the Eremite lady that Tesey’s head over heels for and can’t blame him, she’s very charming, very competent, and won’t hesitate to call him out lol. She’s also the current successor in place for the matriarch (Tizemt) of her adoptive tribe (the Ifri, named after the goddess not the demons lol). They don’t exist in lore since the other two main GoF worshipping tribes don’t really fit the area of influence I wanted to use and Tanit were also a definite no go so instead, the Ifri are a smaller tribe that had branched off from the Tanit but under their current matriarch, have been slowly trying to make themselves more self sufficient and independent, with Tiziri being taken in by them as a child. after they took down the raiding party which had targeted her original tribe and family.

As of current game events, Tesey had been trying to collaborate with the Ifri with textile trading since he believed their work could sell really well in a more international market, so Tiziri’s been assigned to keep an eye on him and also just get a grasp of what kind of a person he is before letting him into their territory and all that (luckily for him he’s long passed the vibe check but after Fontaine’s AQ he had to make an emergency trip back to Morepesok).

Anyways I thought it’d be fun to draw her in a modern Moroccan caftan, but also a Ukrainian folk outfit since she does eventually make a trip over to Morepesok to visit Tesey’s family when they get together. Anyways like Kirena, Tonia and their mother, Oksana (I’ll post their design eventually wsojcndwoc), I’ve based it off outfits from the Luhansk area (go check out these blogposts for references I used for the embroidery it’s such a life saver, but yeah their mum’s side would be from the Donbas irl, dad’s from Zaporizhzhia). Jewellery’s primarily based off Amazigh jewellery from southern Morocco, as well as some Tuareg ones and also a few strings of Ukrainian korali ehe (they’re a gift from Tesey later on as a sign of his intent to take things more seriously and his sincerity). I tried my best with the tattoos since I didn’t want to just trace someone else’s given how personal they are but if anyone has any sources on Moroccan Amazigh tattoos please let me know 🙇🏻‍♀️

-

Next bit is just me realising that a good chunk of my labelled OCs (most aren’t) happen to be aspec, which I find absolutely hilarious (fyi I’m ace myself so this isn’t malicious I just think it’s funny how it keeps happening). Kageharu and Mingli are probs also some flavour of aro but I haven’t figured it out yet so they just have their ace labels for now

-

And, finally, Arataki Natsuki (荒瀧凪月) and Arataki Takenosuke (荒瀧岳之輔). Apparently I felt like revisiting old ideas from 2021 again weciswnjdsq, but still was fun to do. I’m aware it’s more likely Itto’s mother was also an oni (judging by his troubles voiceline regarding Granny Oni) but I thought it’d be interesting to explore what it could be like for humans given how prevalent oni discrimination is, both towards them but also towards humans who are close to them (again: see the voiceline on Granny Oni), as well as people learning to look past assumptions and all that fun stuff. They could’ve lived out a nice cottagecore life with their son if it weren’t for those damned robberies they got blamed for smh

Bonus concept portrait of Natsuki while I’m at it. Tbh one of my biggest pet peeves in designing related characters is making any character too similar to whichever canon character they’re related too and I just really wanted to show that yes, Itto does have quite a few of his mother’s features. It’d be more helpful if I actually drew him to compare ofc, but motivation do be funky like that and my brain wants me to draw Oksana next 😔

3 Mandos and a Baby AU: The One Where Fenn Purposefully Adopts A Child

So, while nonsense is happening on Aq Vetina Fenn and a squadron of Protectors are dispatched to Corellia on an escort mission of great importance. Mandalmotors executive Jaor Ordo and senior member of the Ministry of Defense Korast Eldar are to meet with a Corellian ship company to negotiate a joint project.

Korkie decided that just Kom’rks and Fang-class fighters aren’t enough for the Mandalorian fleet. He wants something like the old Kandosii-class Dreadnoughts, just without the obvious weakness to the hyperdrive. Also, he wants a dedicated transport network to move civilians around Mandalorian space, especially now that the young Mand’alor’s Meshgeroya league is finally getting off the ground. Beer and circuses.

The initial meeting goes well, and as they’re heading back to the hotel Fenn hears noises from a nearby alley. He sends the squad on ahead while he checks it out.

Fenn sneaks up quietly to assess the situation and finds a bunch of scrumrats beating up a younger kid. Before he can make his presence known and come to the ad’ika’s aid some feral kid comes barreling in to try and help and just winds up being beaten by the gang instead. At this point Fenn does intervene, shouting “HEY” with his helmet’s vocoder turned all the way up. All the kids scatter, including the brave little one who jumped in to help the other.

A few days later negotiations are wrapping up really nicely. As they’re leaving the Corellian company’s office building a kid manages to slip through their guard perimeter and steal Eldar’s datapad. A datapad that contains so many state secrets, why the hell was it out, by the Ka’ra Korast!

Fenn and most of the other Protectors pursue the kid right down to the Den of the White Worms. Lady Proxima is yelling at the kid who brought the datapad down because he was supposed to steal a piece of beskar from the Mandalorians, not a datapad. Moloch goes to hit the boy when another kid steps between them and takes the blow. Fenn recognizes him as the kid from before – the one who jumped into a street fight he had no chance of winning to help out another kid – and his Mandalorian adoption instincts activate.

It’s bit of a fight, the Protectors take down Proxima’s enforcers and call the Corellian authorities to arrest them, and then they turn their attention to the kids. The feral child who keeps putting himself in danger to save others is standing between the Protectors and the younger kids.

Fenn manages to convince the boy, whose name is Han, that he’s not a threat and they take all the kids back to the hotel to sort things out. Fenn pays for like ten more hotel rooms on Korkie’s dime.

After a few days of the Protectors feeding and sheltering them without asking for anything in return some of the kids put down their guard. Han asks Fenn once, when they’re all eating dinner together, why they’re doing this. Fenn just replies that no Mandalorian worth the name would ever leave a kid to starve on the streets, it’s not honorable.

The kids start getting adopted, because over twenty Mando’ade were left alone with orphans. Garr and Ashara Peskod, seven year old twins whose parents died in an outbreak by the spaceport a year ago, get adopted by Vengo Reeves. Treka, a little Rhodian girl, gets adopted by Jaor Ordo. The human girl Han likes to hang out with, Qi’ra, gets adopted by Kaden Beviin, though she still seems fairly suspicious of the rest of the Mandos.

Han doesn’t trust Fenn that much. He can’t fathom a world in which a guy like the Protector just...cares. It’s not how things are done. Still, Han winds up talking to him more than he intends to. He tries to ignore the Mando, honest, but he always talks about such cool stuff. He even showed Han around the cockpit of his Kom’rk when he heard Han wants to be a pilot.

What really, finally gets Han to trust that Fenn is really just that nice happens on their second to last day on Corellia. Han’s suspicious of where Fenn disappears to everyday for an hour, and he manages to convince Qi’ra to cover for him while he sneaks to find out. Han watches from the air vent in Fenn’s room as the Protector holo-calls some lady named Bo.

This Bo lady moves the holocomm so a little kid lying in bed is visible and Fenn gets all extra soft and happy. The kid calls him buir and Han’s spent enough time around Mandos the past week to recognize that this kid must be Fenn’s son. Fenn sings the kid to sleep and Han’s not sure how to handle how soft and sweet and sappy the normally tough soldier gets.

Once the kid, whose name is Din, apparently, falls asleep Fenn and this Bo lady discuss what’s going on with Aq Vetina, which Han kinda remembers from the big holonews casts on some of the screens throughout the city. Apparently the Mand’alor is ready to go down to Coruscant and personally rip the Chancellor a new asshole, and when she says how proud she is of her nephew Han realizes that Bo must be Lady Bo-Katan Kryze, who he didn’t recognize without her armor. He gets kinda shocked and almost gives away his position because “holy shit Fenn’s on a nickname basis with his king’s aunt and may or may not share a child with her”.

Han refocuses on the conversation only to realize they’ve switched topics. Fenn’s now talking about some kid he kinda wants to adopt. He doesn’t want to push the kid into it but “by the Ka’ra Bo he wants to be a pilot and you should have seen him when he jumped in to save that other kid” and Han realizes with a start that the kid Fenn’s talking about is him. And Han’s…not sure how to feel about that.

He sneaks back and when Qi’ra asks him what he found out Han just tells her the truth. That Fenn wants to adopt him.

Their last day on Corellia Han just goes up to Fenn and asks “So are you going to adopt me or what?” and Fenn looks like he might cry. Han doesn’t know why he asked that, but maybe it had to do with how genuine Fenn had seemed when singing to his son, or while taking about Han.

Anyway, Fenn and company stroll back up to Mandalore with thirty two more passengers than they left with and absolutely no one is surprised. When Fenn introduces 12 year old Han to the Kryzes he’s like “this is my son, Han Rau”, and little Din runs headfirst into Han’s legs and screams “ori’vod”.

Listen, it’s my wish fulfillment stream of consciousness time travel AU and I’ll do what I want.

[darlin-djarin]

Not gonna lie it's driving me wild that everyone is freaking out over whether or not Din is Din's first or last name. Din Grogu is one of my favourite things to come out of this season, I love how it sounds, I love the meaning it holds, and it's being completely over shadowed by western fans not understanding that names can be passed on in different ways by different cultures. I sincerely hope that people stop soon and take a moment to consider that they're maybe interpreting this wrong

YES. THIS. EXACTLY.

the fandom is being SO annoying over this- like have you guys considered that more than like 2 naming conventions exist in the world? SERIOUSLY. not everything is based off of western culture. i am really bothered by how the fandom is making this a big deal, like it’s REALLY not that deep.

i’m kind of neutral on “din grogu”. it sounds nice and it’s really cute, i just wasn’t expecting it. perfectly valid if someone does or doesn’t like it. i’m not in charge of telling people what they can and can’t like.

what i DON’T like is how particularly western/white fans are overshadowing all others to try to make a big deal over this. in MANY cultures around the world, being named with your fathers name incorporated with your given name is COMMON. in my culture (arab/middle eastern), incorporating your fathers name is something we do OFTEN. i have my dad’s name included with mine, and so do all my siblings. the way mostly western fans make this a big deal is frustrating. i understand the general confusion but NO ONE is listening when people try to explain.

din djarin’s first name is probably still din. it’s probably just part of mandalorians culture, or din’s own personal culture (since he’s from aq vetina), or just the children of the watch’s own culture, or literally ANY other reason. and frankly we don’t even need to justify it. it sincerely is NOT a big deal. the largest complaint i see is people saying “what are we calling him in fics now?!?!?” like guys. call him whatever you want. keep calling him din. it’s not the end of the world. it’s literally star wars.

din being his clan name is totally fine as well, and grogu having a part of his fathers name is really cool actually. that’s not to say i agree with favroni or anything, it’s just not as big of a deal as american/western fans make it.

when i was watching the show with my family, when the armorer said “din grogu”, my dad didn’t even blink. my family didn’t give a shit. we totally accepted that. it’s normal. it’s common.

i’ve tried to tell people so many times that there are different types of naming conventions, but i feel like my voice has been stomped on and is being overshadowed by the whole fandom who’s freaking out over the stupidest things. and it’s not like i can control the fact that most of the fandom is part of western culture, but i just wish people would listen to me. listen to ALL of us who are trying to make people understand. it’s frustrating, it really is.

thank you so much for putting this in my inbox, i’m so glad at least SOMEONE gets it. sorry that’s so frustrating for you, i totally understand.

[awetistic-things]

okay sooooo i went to see a psychologist two years ago and she said that i fulfilled the criteria for autism. but then i went to see another psychologist and she said that i wasn’t neurodivergent. it’s kinda confusing but maybe it’s because in the second assessment i was masking my symptoms a lot more because i was a lot more aware of them???because college has been incredibly difficult for me with the disruption in my routine and also i’ve always had an issue with food and sensory issues. my mum thought that i was autistic when i was 15 because of my problems with food. i also have some hyper mobility and when i was younger i saw a speech therapist and i had additional classes for maths because i found it difficult. i also have bad hand eye coordination and find sports difficult.. also idk if this classifies as a special interest or not but when i was 17 i loved gilmore girls.

i watched it once and then during the summertime i watched it four times back to back, also bought all seven seasons on dvd. another thing about me is that this summer i loved stranger things so much that i would spend hours on end analysing it.

do you think that’s similar to anyone else’s experiences on here ??? i’m a little thrown off because of what the second psychologist said😭 but also maybe this is just me but does anyone on here find that people who are loud and bubbly are overwhelming to be around… because they’re always talking and it can be quite overwhelming… and they can just be so bubbly that it’s hard to keep up… they’re so loud that it’s hard to be around them…

i also find the sound of people eating so annoying like the texture and sound is just too much for me also the smells , i find really hard to deal with unless it’s something nice like chocolate or pizza. i just feel like i can get so attached to people really easily and they just aren’t like that and tend to take advantage of me😭😭 but idk if i’m autistic🫠🫠 does anyone find that this relates to them too?obvi you can’t diagnose me, just wondering if anyone relates.

also, i did a couple of tests on here and here are my results.

autism spectrum quotient: 27 out of 50

RAADS-R: 140 out of 227

empathy quotient: 26 out of 80

clinical partners test: 20 out of 30

aspie quiz: 127 of 200

AQ 10: 5 out of 10

AQ: 23

toronto empathy quotient: 60 out of 64

masking test: 131

hey :)

i definitely think your masking in your second appointment contributed to your psychologist saying they don’t believe you’re neurodivergent

as for relatability to what you’re saying, i pretty much relate to all of it:

- i love being friends with bubbly people, but sometimes being around them when i’m already overstimulated makes things excessively difficult

- i hate, hate, HATE the sound of chewing. like once i full-on screamed at my brother just because he was eating, just eating

- smell is a really, really big thing for me personally. it really wasn’t until recently, but it has resulted in me walking around my own home with a mask on (lathered in Aveeno baby lavender lotion)

- i open up to people stupid quickly, ending in hella over-sharing because i just don’t know the correct amount of information to tell someone at a time. people may have used this against me at certain points in time, but i genuinely could have not noticed 😭

- i definitely get your stranger things special interest, because that was me with “avatar: the last airbender” i mean i could not go 40 minutes without talking about that damn show much less thinking about it

In honor of Autism Acceptance Month, have this part of a one-shot I started ages ago but never finished. (I have the start, and I know how I want it to end, but the middle is a little hazy. You know; the usual, lol. Anyway.)

.

Title: Human (But the Wrong Kind) Fandom: Yugioh 5Ds Rating: Gen Summary: Yusei had always known he was little different; he had just never put all the pieces together to discover the reason why. Notes: Set post-series; Yusei is employed at MIDS. The title vaguely implies ableism but I didn't actually get that far. Only sparsely edited.

.

The older Yusei got, the more aware he became that something wasn’t quite right. Growing up, this hadn’t been a problem. He knew he was ‘weird’ but Jack and Crow still liked him so it was fine, and when he had asked Martha once she had said that it wasn’t wrong to be different. So he didn’t give it much thought most of the time.

But there were times he became painfully aware of it. Like now.

He was frustrated and overwhelmed and just needed a chance to calm down. “I need a minute.” He stood up and turned his back to his colleague, pressing the heels of his shaking hands to his temples and taking deep breaths. Everything was fine; he could make himself be fine because grown men didn’t have breakdowns.

“That’s okay. Take your time.” He honestly couldn’t tell if those words were sincere or not, which only added to his mounting frustrations. Even so, this wasn’t something he could help happening and he had no choice but to take his time anyway.

When his hands stopped shaking, he finally turned back around to find the other man still silently sifting through the papers spread over the conference room table. (Yes, everything was filed digitally but sometimes it was nice to have endless papers to easily shift around as opposed to one single screen, after all.) Haga didn’t seem to be bothered by what just happened, but… “I’m sorry about that.”

His coworker glanced up. “There’s no need to be.” He paused, shuffling a couple of papers around. “You know, it’s not wrong to call it what it is.”

Yusei could feel his brow pull together in confusion. “I’m not sure what you mean.”

Haga froze and, after a tense moment of silence, his eyebrows shot up towards his hairline. “Oh. Now I’m the one who should apologize. I just assumed… I’m sorry; I shouldn’t have done that. It’s just…the way you reacted just now reminded me a lot of my son and…” He trailed off, shaking his head. “I’m sorry.”

“No, that’s --.” He cut himself off; was it fine? He wasn’t really sure, but he was curious now. Be that as it may, he shook his head as he sat back down. “That’s fine. Let’s just get back to work.”

It wasn’t fine. He couldn’t stop thinking about it for the rest of the day, and as soon as he got home that evening, he sank into the couch with his laptop to do some research. He knew Haga’s son was autistic; it had come up in conversations before. So if Yusei had reminded Haga of his own son earlier… He wasn’t sure what that meant yet, but he was going to find out.

Three hours later found him still sitting there, staring at the results of an online AQ test, the screen declaring loudly that his results were “borderline” and that “89% of people in this range are diagnosed.”

Only later would he realize that what he did next was the most autistic response he could have had: he quietly closed the tab, closed his laptop, and didn’t think about it for the next six months.

Jingjing 📍.

A-Qing is in Jingjing imperial city looking for xue yang, but she got into an argument with a vendor, for stealing a steamed bun.

Aqing: I wonder where's xue yang. I know that he's living with his bestie, Jin guangyao.

What did he say jin guangyao was? An official? A hulijing? An emperor? I can't remember. Maybe because I'm hungry.

Gege, can I have a steamed bun.

X: here you go. Hot and fresh.

X: hey you didn't pay for that?!

A-qing: pay for what?

X: the steamed bun.

A-Qing: do I look like I have a job?

Do I look like an enter penair?

X: you mean entrepreneur?

A-qing: oh you think you're smart. Wait till I beat you with my stick!

X: I would like to see you try!

Anyways, you don't look like a hulijing! Are you a threat!

A-qing: no! But your face look like a threat!

*holds the bun in her mouth and ran off with it.*

X: hey! At least pay for it!!! *running after her* guys help me!

Angry mob: *starts chasing her*

A-qing: you'll never take me alive!!!!

On the other side, Rusong and his entourage were in town.

Dianxia, did you and Huangdi enjoy the theatre performance?

Rusong: definitely. It was really flawless and well put together.

Does Huangdi have any other projects?

Rusong: yes, Huangdi is working on some new ones.

He's planning on opening some new shelters and homes for homeless citizens.

I'm also in on it.

But there's always more projects to come.

It was all discussed in the court.

Someone: *hands him a flower*

Rusong: thank you.

Random child: what's your name, Dianxia?

Rusong: Rusong. *smile*

Our mischievous little Dianxia. Where's your caravan?

Rusong: we parked it over on the next street.

I think I should stretch my legs, and talk to you.

Awww.

You have the same interests as Huangdi.

A-qing: *runs and bumps into Rusong*

Rusong: careful.

A-qing: *hides behind him* hide me!

X: *running with the mob* how dare you hide behind Dianxia!

A-qing: *looks up* Dianxia??

Rusong: stop!

Mob: *kneels* yes Dianxia.

X: she refused to pay for the food!

That's stealing!

Rusong: it's fine. Don't fuss.

I'll pay for the food.

X: but you're Dianxia.

Rusong: but I'm hospitable too.

Here's the money.

X: I can't take money from you. That's a disrespect. Ok Dianxia, she can take it free of charge!

Rusong: well, ok then.

.

A-qing: thank you rich gege.

Rusong: no problem. Come let's get out from the middle of the street.

You guys, wait for me near the caravan.

Entourage: yes Dianxia.

A-qing: woww.

Rusong: what?

A-qing: they obey you a lot. I could imagine how it would be like. But do you feel annoyed or strange?

Rusong: *laughing slightly* of course not. I'm used to it.

A-qing: if you ask them to dance for you, would they?

Rusong: haha, maybe. But I haven't asked them that.

A-qing: you're awesome rich gege!

Anyways!

*eating* I was really hungry.

Mff....mmm.. thank you for paying for me, rich gege!

Rusong: *smile*

A-qing: why are you smiling? do you want some?

Rusong: no, I just admire your vibrance. Where are you from?

A-qing: yi city.

Rusong: ohhh, yi city! So you must know uncle muffin. I mean xue yang. Also I've heard that you were coming to visit.

A-qing: yea, i came to visit him. He's my guardian along with white gege.. He is living with Jin guangyao somewhere here. I don't know for sure.

Rusong: Jin guangyao is my dad. And he's the emperor of Hulijings.

A-qing: ohhhhhhhhhh. That's why you're rich and your dialect is sophisticated.

Rusong: *teasing* only my dialect?

A-qing: appearance posture and body language too. I thought you were only rich and sophisticated. But you turned out to be an emperor's son, lol.

Now what's your full name, rich gege?

Rusong: Rusong, the hulijing prince.

*wink*

A-qing: did you just wink at me! Or is there something in your eye.

Rusong: I'm trying to make a signature intro.

A-qing: *rolls eyes* trying to be cute.

Well I'm A-qing.

Rusong: nice to meet you, A-qing.

So shall we leave?

A-qing: what do you want with me? Are you going to drag me in an inn and kiss me! I should have known! You seductive little hulijing. I don't want to be a concubine. But to tell you the truth, you're kinda hot.

Rusong: Madam, I mean, shall we go to my residence, Jing Manor. You'll get to meet xue yang.

A-qing: oh....sorry....my bad.

Rusong: shall we?

A-qing: nah. Maybe tomorrow. I have already caused trouble with you in public.

Rusong: it's ok.

Well if you wish to come tomorrow, I'll send a caravan for you.

A-qing: no! I will walk. That's not necessary. And maybe I have to pay you back.

Rusong: why would I charge a guest, A-qing. You're maybe staying in the nearby inn right? The caravan will pick you up there.

A-qing: mmm ok. I don't want to refuse you, as you're Dianxia.

Rusong: we're friends now. No need to br formal!

*A-qing's fox shaped hairpin suddenly falls from her hair*

A-qing: oh! *bends*

Rusong: wait. Let me.

*picks it up* ah. Such a beautiful design.

And what a coincidence.

A-qing: yea, I always wear this. I only own two hairpins.

Rusong: I'll be honoured to gift you with hairpins some time. Since that you're a guest.

A-qing: thank you so much! I would like that! (Eeeeee, rich gege is so sweet)

Rusong: may I?

A-qing: may you do what?

Rusong: put this back in your hair.

A-Qing: sure, rich gege!

Rusong: *places it in* there you go.

A-qing: *heart racing*

Rusong: *smile*

See you soon then.

A-qing: yea! Bye Dianxia.

A-qing: this Dianxia is very down to earth and friendly. *smile* and his little dimples are so cute.

I wonder if I should be something for him, to thank him for his gratitude.

A-qing: No! A-qing doesn't buy anything for anyone!

Hmm, maybe Dianxia can be an exception.

Now what do you buy a Dianxia?????

Rusong: *in his caravan* (A-qing.) *smiling*

Rong: Dianxia, she was so inappropriate bumping into you like that. You're not a normal citizen.

Rusong: don't fuss. It was an accident.

Rong: yes Dianxia.

~~~

~~

Next day...

Yao: *sitting in his imperial court with team D.*

Xiying: *entering* Huangdi. Miss Qing is here.

Yao: lovely.

Xue yang: *laughing* oh gosh, Miss Qing??

Yao: mhm.

A-qing: *running in* Jiggy!!!!!! Hiiii!!!

Su she: *glaring*

Yao: A-qing! How are you?

A-qing: I'm good! Sorry, I almost fought with your guards.

It wasn't my fault, I swear. I just asked them to show me their fox tail but they refused.

Yao: *laughing* it's fine, it's fine. You're so witty just like Chengmei.

A-qing: yea, but he's more of an idiot.

Xue yang: hey!! Is that a way to speak to your guardian who popped you out!

A-qing: popped me out of f🤬 where? Don't let me beat you with my stick!

Xue yang: fight me!

Su she: *laughing nervously* miss Qing, please remember you're in front of Huangdi.

Xue yang: Qingqing, he's just a simp. Don't beat him.

Mo xuanyu: hi, I'm a simp too.

We're Team Dimple.

Because Yao gege has dimples.

A-qing: ahh, that's where Rusong got his dimples from. It's from Jiggy.

Yao: you met my Song'er? *smile*

How didn't he tell me.

Rusong: *enters* hey, you?!

A-qing: you! Little dimples!

Rusong: nice to meet you again.

Mo xuanyu: awwww.

Yao: oh so you two had met! How marvelous.

A-qing: he saved me from some evil vendors. Jiggy, I believe I should decide if I should pay or not. It's my money at the end of the day. Am I right!

Yao: A-qing, many people work very hard to earn a living. I think we should be considerate and pay them.

A-Qing: hmpf! Ok Jiggy.

Xue yang: keep causing trouble!

A-qing: just like you. Are you done seducing the emperor yet?....cutesleeve?

Xue yang: what did you just call me???!!

Mo xuanyu: ahahahhahaha. A-qing, we can totally hang out. I'll teach you how to use makeup. My name is mo xuanyu.

A-qing: mo xuanyu! That's a nice name! Makeup? Isn't that only used by seductive women? You know. The girls who wants the guy's attention.

Mo xuanyu: *cries* no!!!!! Makeup is an art form!

A-qing; ah. I haven't worn it before. Ok, maybe only lipgloss.

Rusong: A-Die, when I met her in the city, I insisted on carrying her to Jing Manor. But she refused.

Yao: oh.

A-qing: I didn't want to cause any problems, because I'm well behaved.

Xue yang: since when?

A-Qing: I turned over a new leaf.

Xue yang: in front of Rusong?

Aqing: no!

Rusong: *blushing a little*

A-qing: xue yang, do you have any candy. I'm hungry.

Xue yang: here you go, kid.

A-qing: mm delicious as always!

Xue yang:. Obviously. I'm xue yang.

A-qing: Rusong. Look! A sachet.

Rusong: aww. It's beautiful. You really didn't need to get me anything. Why should you gift the host.

A-qing: Dianxiaaaaa. Relax. Do you want it or not!

Mo xuanyu: aren't they cute?!

Su she: these two are really adorable. And little Dianxia, omg I want to pinch him.

Mo xuanyu: same.

Xue yang: yea for real. And A-qing never buys anything for anyone. This is astonishing.

Did she get hooked by a hulijing.

A-Qing: Rich gege, you can put your princey things in here. Like your coins, taels. Rings?? A foldable sword I don't know what princes collect.

It has a cute little embroidered fox on it.

Rusong: waw thank you so much, A-Qing. How do you know about NY foldable sword? Um.. I think I should return the favor. (Finally I got an opportunity to gift A-Qing gifts)

A-Qing: no you don't need to!

Jiggy! Do you want a sachet too??

Yao: aww, I would love one.

A-Qing: heehee, soon I'll buy one for you too!

Mo xuanyu: Qingqing, your room is ready, thanks to Yao gege's hulijings.

A-qing: oh great! I hope I don't get lost in this huge Manor. The place is bigger than Yi city.

Xue yang: stop exaggerating. I won't let you get lost. Let's go.

A-qing: yea let's go, xue yang!

Rusong: *fondly looking at his sachet*

Yao: Song'er.

Rusong: *smiling*

Yao: Song'er.

Su she: is he blushing?

Mo xuanyu: this is my new ship this year.

Rusong: you said something, A-Die?

Yao: *laughs* no. I just saw you dazed.

Rusong: oh, I'm just cherishing my gift.

Yao: Chuan.

Attendant: *running in*

Yao: are her complimentary gifts sent to her room already?

Chuan: yes Huangdi. They're all there. Clothes, some accessories and spending money.

Yao: excellent.

Rusong: can you add hairpins to the gift, on my behalf.

Chuan: sure Dianxia.

Rusong: lean in.

Chuan: tell me.

Ah...yea Dianxia, will do.

Yao: *opens fan in amusement*

Rusong: A-Die, it's just something minor.

Yao: you're just adorable. And your dimples get deeper when you're up to something.

hi admins!!

ayon, sadly, my kasituationship and i decided na it’s better for us to be friends nalang, pero nde ko alam if decision ba talaga namin or bec of the circumstances back then. kasi feel ko, like if ‘di siguro nagkapandemic, may something pa rin kami until now HSHSHAHA

i know he alluded na he want to continue what we have kahit long distance or maybe even go beyond, kasi willing kasi sya magtravel papunta sa amin nung mga una-una HAHAHAHA like ??? it baffled me na he’s willing to sit through hours of travel for some pussy pero anong sasabihin ko sa parents ko when he comes over??? “ma, dy, si * po. and he came here to rearrange my guts.” my overthinking ass could never tell them na he visited just because he missed me and that he’s just a friend kasi i know they’ll know.

so ayun feel ko ako talaga may kasalanan why we ended the way we did kasi i have strict parents but he understood, kasi first child and first grandchild. alao kaya he always babied me during our thing and he checks up on me pa rin until now, and kinikilig ako everytime 😭 1.) pogi kasi sya — alam niyo yung clean type na pogi? jaehyun vibes talaga ineexude nya and i’m a valentine so nde puchu puchu lang yung comparison ko just to project HSHSHSHA like LEGIT POGI, 2.) he knows what to do in bed !! mostly ng expi ko is from him and all of them r great, minsan natutulala ako tas my mind will replay the unspeakable things we did 🫣 3.) he’s mabango — nakaka-📯knee madalas yung amoy nya, and 4.) matalino — summa sya last grad hshdhd tas inaya nya pa ako umattend ng grad nya kasi his parents were out of the country )): punta sana ako para may kasama sya but he told me his ate came home like two days before d-day so as usual nathreaten aq kc meet the ate agad and i was thinking,,,, bakit ako pupunta ng grad nya, sino ba ako???????

sorry po ang haba na yata kc miss q sha pero dahil sa sinabi nyo, admin, I’m still thinking about what my bestie told me, they told me na baka nga ako raw laging nagsasabotage ng good things for myself, kasi i feel like i don’t deserve nice things. maybe we both do, tas dahil sya sa unresolved issues natin and repressed trauma )): kasi my kasituationship never told me na he doesn’t want a relationship, i decided that. and i think i did that because that made me feel better ): kasi we were exclusive, label nalang talaga kulang. so i think paladesisyon talaga ako n told myself na ay ok walang label so hanggang d2 nalang tayo vebs pero kebs lng kc masaya naman tau both and inaalagaan naman natin ang isa’t-isa, oks na aq d2 typa shit so iniisip ko nalang na sana kapag pwede na, pwede pa.

love u admins !! sending u consented warm hugs 🫂  it’s crazy how i easily felt like this is a safe place n trauma dumped onto u like that HSHDHA balik tayo sa regular livogue programming in a few

- 🥐

omg omg omg 🥐 anon this is long overdue pero thank u for thinking that our blog is a safe space for u 😭 [nag-hug pabalik]

i love how you described him ha!! he seems like a really good guy, a dream guy!!

and omg!! i agree with what ur bestie told u bc i've been in that phase before, nung nireto ako ng h.s friend ko sa kablock niya na super nice naman talaga, i started questioning if i deserve the things he's doing for me kasi :((( he'd pick me up for late night drives and maguusap lang kami, he'd give me space whenever i needed it but ako 'tong tatatanga tanga na inisip na maybe if sinagot ko siya, he'd eventually be like my ex na GRRRR every time a good guy comes around me, when they treat me right, i automatically think na gagawin nila 'yung ginawa ng ex ko sakin— so it really is the trauma speaking kaya siguro tayo nagjjump na sa conclusions agad hsgdhshs gets ba??? i feel like i'm just saying words pero walang sense brhwhrdhhshd pero i hope nagets niyo dysgdhfh that guy na nireto sakin ng hs friend ko? he will always be my favorite what if ko sa life 🥹

🥐 anon, sana talaga kapag pwede na, pwede pa kayo ni ka-situationship mo!! ARGGG we wish you happiness and all (AND OF COURSE LABEL?!)

the thing about inazuma, right

i just don’t give a shit about anyone in the archon quest besides like kazuha (and scara’s 5 sec screen time) and i have weird thoughts about which region i ascribe them to bc we first meet kazuha in liyue, and scara became wanderer and i associate him with sumeru now lol

thoma, yoimiya, and gorou are nice i like them i don’t have negative feelings i just don’t necessarily care enough, u know?

everyone else i just

good god when is this conversation over

pair my disinterest and dislike with the mediocre plot and i can’t wait to leave lmao

it’s literally the only region i have such strong negative feelings about

but then they hit me over the head w tsurumi island and enkanomiya and i forget all my complaints lol

i love my man itto and i wish heizou had some part in the AQ but he’s not used much at all anywhere. itto makes returning back to inazuma worth it like he’s holding the nation on his shoulders istg

it’s just such a large deviation from my very positive very loving feelings for every other nation and their main group of characters in the AQs

there’s no point to this really besides me complaining about useless things lol i could make a powerpoint about the inazuma characters and all the things i dislike about them and back it all up with screenshots as evidence, but that’s not worth my time and energy, and it’ll just end up fueling the negative lmao

just had to get this one off my chest oof

#this is just me complaining to the void #carry on as you were

[trillscienceofficer]

this is quite random i'll admit, but your latest post got me thinking: if there would have been a proper crossover between ds9 and voy (not just a cameo like in the pilot), what would you have wanted it to be plotwise?

oh that's a very very good question! Honestly I'm not even sure if I'd want a proper, non-permanent (like, no one from DS9 gets stuck on Voyager) crossover episode, because imho it's hard to make them work well. But I can still see several options here:

it's a pre-Caretaker situation: we see the (OG) Voyager crew get the help of several officers and the Defiant in order to sneak up on the Maquis (Chakotay, B'Elanna and Tuvok), which we also follow as they try to outmaneuver Starfleet. I would love to see where Sisko and (a just promoted) Janeway agree and disagree on how to be in command, and I would love to also learn what kind of history Chakotay and B'Elanna (and Seska!) had with DS9 (did they know about Eddington? were they already receiving help from Kasidy Yates?). In any case at some point the Defiant leaves the Badlands and the events of Caretaker take place anyway

a random wormhole/space irregularity/whatever brings Voyager to the Gamma Quadrant and they immediately almost end up destroyed by the Dominion (which they only vaguely know about), has to hide in a nebula/land on a planet but ta-dahh! it's the Defiant who responds to the distress signal! Except they also almost get destroyed, and the two crews have to help one another to get back on their feet. The specifics depend on when this happens of course—if it's before "Message in a Bottle" the crew would have to learn about the war from the DS9 people and I can't imagine that going over well, especially with the former Maquis. In any case I can see a lot of tension between crews (in a "we were trying to get home and now you are in a war that killed our friends!" vs "you guys disappeared without a trace so you don't have a right to tell us that we made mistakes"). The kicker is that this would be a good opportunity for Voyager to finally get to the AQ but they realize there's no way they could sneak Voyager past Dominion forces towards the Bajoran wormhole, and they can't duplicate the cloak for such a big ship, so in the end the Defiant can only help Voyager go back to DQ (honestly heartwrenching just thinking about this lol)

This is not exactly a crossover, but: DS9 is a hub of research for wormholes for obvious reasons so what if we shelve the whole thing with Barclay and have Voyager contact the station instead? there could just be fun occasional interactions between the officers from the two shows I think.

Now what interactions would I like to see the most? Sisko and Janeway as I've said, Chakotay and B'Elanna reacting to pretty much all the DS9 Starfleet officers on one hand and to Kira and Odo on the other. I really, really would like to see Benjamin's reaction to Seven of Nine too, although I'm afraid it would be rather painful for him still. But I think he'd also be interested in hearing about a former drone that managed to escape. On a lighter note I would love to see Jadzia grinning her way into challenging Tom at a game of dares (and winning every one). Tuvok and Worf would HATE the madness of having two crews of strong personalities interact so much, and I kinda want to see them both and Julian work together on something. Perhaps Harry and Miles (and B'Elanna too, unless she is refusing to speak with the people from DS9) can have a nice chat about how hard it is to keep a ship/station running in such difficult conditions. If you want to hear people yelling I think you should probably pair Kira and Seven because they would NOT get along at all imho. There is just. SO much stuff that can be said and I haven't even touched upon!! A crossover like this is such an ambitious concept and I'm sure I forgot half the stuff that I wanted to say

#thank you so much for the v interesting question!! #askbox #voy #ds9
