I forget who in bookclub mentioned this (pls call yourself out and I'll @ you with credit in this post), but someone pointed out that we don't know if anyone knows what Meryl went through. What she knows. Wolfwood has a conversation with her earlier, but it's just about what Vash is, probably clueless as to their shared memories. Vash doesn't give any hints he has any idea what she's witnessed--he's so fearful of what he is and what he's capable of, it's possible he doesn't know what his powers are. Eventually, at the very earliest, it's seven months from now before we see her admit aloud what she's seen. And, hell. With how much Wolfwood and Vash tuck away and don't talk about, why would she feel like she could talk about it?
And yet, despite all that. Despite having trauma unlike anything she's ever known in her life before. Despite having trauma that no human should have to bear. Despite not being sure what to even do with that, with herself, with Vash (who she's seen witness and commit unspeakable horrors!). She still chooses kindness. She still chooses love and peace. She still chooses Vash.
We see a lot of people handle their trauma in really shitty ways in this story; in many ways, it's a story deeply about trauma. And Meryl, isolated and afraid and with this pain fresh within her, doesn't turn away from what she knows is good and worth saving on this hellhole planet. And, idk, I think that's beautiful, and I love her for it.

OMG hi…I really like your art and was wondering if you wanna be mutuals??????????? Also tell me about your MD ships :3c
honey we are dating- .....okay yknow what- HI PRETTY & TALENTED LADY- yess i will absolutely love toooo 🙈💕💕💕💕💕
also lets see uhhh okay this is an excuse for me to just... expload-
keep in mind not every ship is meant for all of you so dont badger me about stuff that ISNT CANON or YOU DONT SHIP. contrary to whatever you believe, when somone posts about THEIR ships, nobody wants to hear about you NOT shipping it on THAT EXACT post.
hang in there, this gon be a long one >:p
First off we are starting strong with Nuzi- Biscuitbites obviously thats a given- these two just have too much to be said about why and how they make eachother the best version of eachother, whether they ever became canon or not- they fit like puzzle pieces- they lessen eachothers negative traits by being their for eachother.
next is Vuzi- Violentviolet, they are my favorite kind of enemies to lovers 😔 but its also tragic smh. kinda pissed off at how V always does something good in Uzis favor only when she is LITERALLY PASSED OUT- either in the camp ep on the bus or in Alices lab. like damn ofFUCKINGcourse Uzi wouldnt know she cares about her 😭😭😭
envuzi- Violentbitingbiscuits, i love these goobers with all my heart- they deserve the best 😔💕💕💕💕
envy - [does this poor ship just NOT have an exclusive FINDABLE tag name??? im calling them GoldenMemories...], i like to think that if they were in the manor still, and nothing bad had ever happened, these two would be comforting eachother in the healthiest way possible. V needs someone like N and N is just adorable like that uwu
Next we have JxTessa/Jessa- [calling them Fancyblades cuz why not-] J deserves some closure for the shit shes gone through smhhh 😔, its a tragic yuri of J loving and wanting something she probably already accepted she couldnt have, and even then she gotta deal with Ns ass being the favorite one regardless of how hard she tries to be perfect... sighhh i wanna imagine them in a future where Tessa was spared as the only human and J could save her 😭😭😭😭 Tessa might have loved doing mechanical stuff or wore black to hide grease/oil stains on her clothes from her parents and wore gloves to hide her oily stained hands- i want her to have a scene of wiring drones back to life and saving them and saying something like "hey there, you made it! dont worry, ill take care of you, youre my friend now :3" or something //dies//, also before anyone says it- even if Tessa was a teen in the flashbacks- romance is not exclusive to ADULTS, teens can love eachother without having sexual stuff involved. no she was not their MOTHER figure, she was their FRIEND who liked to fix robots for herself to not be alone in a house where her own parents literally chain her up as punishment. i dont even know why im arguing about this, people headcanon or make aus about characters NOT being dead all the time and if Tessa was alive for as long as J thought she was, Tessa would have been a perfectly fine adult either way. so counting this, yes shes canonically considered an adult when Cyn tries to imitate an adult humans body 🙄 makes as much sense as everything else i guess-
next ones i got is NorixYeva/Neva- Solverlilies- i just think theyre neat 😭😭😭 and once again, like everything else in this franchise- they are tragic yuris 😔 damn liam im finding a pattern over here 🤨 anyway, i like to think they either got closer in the lab experimentations or were already close when they were working as WDs in the campsite area for the humans. obviously canonically they were probably straight or just not into eachother romantically- [Nori either u have the worst taste men or Khan just fucking lost it after you died-] but also on the other handddd.... they have 2 hands and they are robots, i want them to kiss like two barbie dolls and im gonna make them do just that-
DollxLizzy/Dizzy- Bloodypink, wost fucking ship names ever, i cant find shit on them with these tags and it makes me angry >:/ at this point 2/3s of my ships are just tragic yuris smh, Doll did not deserve any of the things handed to her, even if she went about doing some things the wrong way i wish Lizzy didnt just abandon her- but then again, Doll did kinda abuse Lizzys trust and Lizzy got scared of being close to a serial murderer so.... morality calls this a draw? 😭 im crying... i wish someone was there to help Doll... sigh... i like to think Lizzy would have waited for Doll to just come back at some point... oh well, thats why AUs exist :"3 //sobs in the corner//
DollxUzi/Dollzi- Bloodybats, this ship is so underrated to me... they could have been... so much more. but why weren't they? did Yeva abandon ever getting close to Uzi when she was a kid after Nori died? did Uzi and Doll just never play around together as kids when their mothers were so close? were they ever close and something went wrong as they grew older? at worst they could have been like sisters together, and at best maybe more than friends. i just dont know what happened here, like Yeva could have tried to keep an eye on Uzi, maybe Uzi could have found Dolls powers so cool before having them too- i dont know theres literally tons of possibilities- but if Doll deserved to be saved or cared for by anyone, at least one of them should have been Uzi... sigh.
ThadxV- Killingblonde, yall this is... the cutest shit... ever???? like from here on out we kinda go into the more or less crackship territory but these two are adorable- Dumbass yet wholesome jock boy that just wants to keep his queen happy 😔👌👌👌 He and Uzi would have so much to talk about on "crushing on literal murder bots that stabbed and almost ate us" its literally love at first stab smhhh 😫💕
ThadxSam- Smokyjock ???? for some fucking reason??? i dont know what my brain did here man- i just like the trope of someone getting under Thads skin- like pair up the healthy sports loving gym boy with the lazy but wholesome dumbass that does drugs or is always just sleep deprived and Thad is always trying to just... take care of his ass and make him take care of himself but he just WONT SMHHH-
okay some more or less crack ships down here:
ThadxN: it speaks for itself. its too adorable and youll go blind from the light of wholesomeness-
ThadxNxUzi: Uzi will die here from the overwhelming wholesomeness... oh bonus if its just a 4s polycule of ThadxNxUzixV i mean i know im pushing my luck but.... random crackships go brr- V and Uzi will complain but love their dumbass golden puppy partners-
ThadxUzi: i think they could have been close and Thad caring about her as a childhood friend turned crush sounds just too cute for me 😔
LizzyxUzi: another random ass rivals to lovers or some shit idk what this is, Lizzy would pay Uzi to kiss the fuck out of her i dont make the rules-
ThadxLizzy: in some cases where they are NOT headcanoned as siblings or cousins, i think they have a good energy of wholesome jock bf and girly queen cheerleader lol, Thad is just a good bf eitherway-
DollxUzixLizzy: the gals would not leave a single second of silence for the small gremlin i swear to God- [Uzi is gay as FUCK for her gfs, absolute girloser unit with her gorgeous but crazy gfs]
okay for the end i have some characters that arent ships but i wish they could have become closer as friends or work out their issues...
J and N- too much abuse and toxicity here, i wish they could talk together more and see they have a lot of things in common- maybe a full line of dialogue from J without threatning N in every sense of the manner would be nice for a change =_=
Doll and V- again, a bit morally ambiguous to ship a character with the murderer of your family, esp when said murderer hasnt expressed regret lmao, but i wish they could at least be friends... Dolls disdain for the murder drones pushed her to end up the way she did. maybe if she didnt do it alone she would have been alive by now. so i like to think what would have happened if she and V could have made up- not necessarily Doll forgiving her- but at least having the space to grow and understand why they did they things that happened.
Cyn and literally ANYONE- i want the solver to be SEPARATE from Cyn- i wish Cyn would have still existed somewhere down there and was savable- i wish this poor child AI had a happy ending to her by connecting with the others as ACTUAL siblings... goddamnit 😔
aaaand thats it for this fine ass day 🫡 yall are welcome to ask about any of these- boy the tags are gonna be.... a lot.

it's nice to have a friend - f.g.
a/n: hiii i love fiona so much and i love writing for her 🫶 thank you to dinosaur anon for requesting this one! it actually brought me tons of comfort to write so i appreciate it so much
warnings: cigarette smoking, mentions of sex, not proofread!
Tumblr media
"debs, can you please just eat the lunch i make you?"
"but i just had peanut butter and jelly yesterday."
"we've been over this, peanut butter and jelly is the cheapest and easiest."
debbie huffs, storming off and taking her paper lunch bag with her.
monday is fiona's least favorite day of the week, for countless reasons. she has to return to making lunches and hundreds of other chores to make sure every one of her siblings is ready and at school on time.
it hurts to not be seen and appreciated for the work she does every day to keep her family afloat, even though she knows her siblings are still young and don't understand the magnitude of the impact she has on their worlds.
after successfully encouraging liam to take a nap and sending the others off, fiona finally gets to sit on the couch and breathe.
before she knows it, she's waking up to lip and ian walking through the front door. she figures she must have fallen asleep, her exhaustion having finally caught up to her.
"you're such an idiot," lip sneers, clearly in the middle of a fight with his brother.
fiona sighs, rubbing the sleep from her eyes and standing up.
"god, i need a cigarette," she mutters to herself, stepping outside onto the stairs and grabbing a lighter from her pocket.
"rough day, huh?" a voice asks from the sidewalk. fiona looks over to see her neighbor, y/n, standing in front of the house.
"to say the least," she responds, taking another puff of her cigarette.
"you know, if you ever want to sleep in or go out or something, i can watch the kids."
"for what, 100 an hour?" fiona asks, laughing to herself. she expects y/n to laugh too, but she's stonefaced.
"no, for nothing. i'm serious. i know it can't be easy dealing with this shit every day. you deserve a break."
fiona is shocked by y/n's response. she wasn't sure what to expect, but it wasn't free childcare.
"i'll let you know."
"cool. see you around."
fiona watches as y/n leaves, walking toward the grocery store on the corner. she can't help but be slightly suspicious of her offer, thinking she must want something in return. regardless, she smiles to herself, feeling like someone finally recognized how hard she is working.
"she definitely wants to get in your pants," lip insists. "she doesn't want any money?"
"no, she said she didn't. it does seem kinda suspicious, but she sounded so genuine about it."
"she must just be a really good flirt then."
"i don't know, lip. it seemed like she actually just wanted to help."
"okay, so let her. see what happens."
fiona lets herself imagine the possibility of having a few hours to herself. she could take herself out to eat, go on a walk, go to the store. she could do whatever she wanted with her day and not have to worry about her siblings being taken care of.
"i'll do it."
fiona stands tentatively on y/n's doorstep, debating on whether she should actually knock or not. lip could be right, or he could be completely misjudging the situation.
eventually, she forces herself to gently tap on the door, and it only takes a few seconds for y/n to open it.
"oh! hey fiona, what's going on?"
"i'm here to take you up on your offer."
"to watch the kids? yeah, of course. want me to come over now?
"that would be great, v and i are planning on going to get some dinner and drinks."
"sure, i can hang out with the kids until you get back."
"you're a lifesaver. how much do i owe you?" fiona feels inclined to pay y/n for her kind gesture, despite her declining money before.
"fiona, i told you you don't owe me anything. now, go enjoy your time with v."
reluctantly, fiona leaves for her dinner with v, silently praying that her siblings are in good hands.
y/n decides to cook something simple that she knows all the kids would enjoy, opting for pasta with a few different sauces to choose from.
fiona had told her siblings that their neighbor would be spending the afternoon in the house to make sure everything was under control, but they weren't expecting a meal.
"this is great, thank you y/n," ian smiles, finishing his plate and heading to his room.
the other kids nod in unison, agreeing with their brother's compliment.
y/n notices that liam had pretty much covered his entire face in sauce, and she can't help but to giggle to herself. she wipes his face clean with a cloth and gets the youngest gallagher ready for bed.
the rest of the siblings were used to their own routines and were in their rooms after dinner. in her solitude, y/n cleans the kitchen behind her, and eventually ends up giving the entire bottom floor a quick clean. she knows it would give fiona one less thing to worry about.
when fiona walks through the door at around midnight, she finds y/n sitting on the couch, watching whatever was on the television set.
"hey, welcome back. how was dinner?"
"really great. thank you again for doing th... did you clean the house?"
"yeah, i made the kids dinner and started by just cleaning up after myself, but i ended up just kinda doing the whole bottom floor."
"y/n this is... thank you so much. can i please pay you? at least a little bit? you are seriously amazing and i..." fiona stops, feeling herself start to ramble. she is in pure shock that anyone would care this much about her and her siblings. just out of the goodness of their heart.
"i'm happy to do this for you guys, seriously. you better not even dream about paying me, fiona," y/n smiles, feeling her heart grow warm seeing how much this meant to fiona.
"do you wanna, maybe stay? chat a little bit?"
"that sounds really nice, actually."
fiona and y/n quickly fall into stride with one another, and before they know it they have been talking for hours. they talk about just about everything, and by the end of it they are both feeling much more connected.
"shit, it's 3am," fiona laughs, finally looking at the clock.
"damn, that flew by. i should probably get some sleep."
"you and me both," fiona stands, y/n following suit.
"y/n?"
y/n turns, facing fiona.
"yeah?"
before y/n knows it, fiona is pulling her into a tight hug.
"thank you so much, again."
"any time. i mean it."
"before you leave, i have to give you something," fiona says, speed walking into the kitchen and returning with a small piece of paper.
"my number. if, you know, you wanna watch the kids again. or hang out with me, maybe," fiona smiles, nervously handing y/n the paper.
"both of the two will definitely be happening again," y/n responds, finally leaving the gallagher home and returning to her own.
the next day, fiona pulls lip aside.
"she's so amazing, lip. she really didn't want anything in return. she wanted to help. and she talked to me for hours."
"well, you better ask her on a date then, huh?"
"you think i should?"
"it seems like she's actually into you. and not just in a sex way."
fiona's cheeks turn a deep rose shade as she cracks a smile, earning a dry laugh from her brother.
"fi's in love!" he yells, running around the house as fiona chases.
when y/n wakes up the next morning, she's surprised to hear a gentle knock on her door.
when she opens it, she's surprised to see fiona on the other side, holding a bouquet of flowers.
"i know it's kinda early, but i wanted to give you these. and i wanted to ask if you wanted to go out for breakfast. my treat."
"it's never too early to see you, fiona. i'd love to go to breakfast with you. can i just have a second to change out of my pajamas?"
the pair both burst into laughter at the image of y/n in her pajamas, standing on the doorstep.
"that might be a good idea."

Their Perfect Dates HCs [Demon Edition]
Well.. demons + Benny
Rating: General
Angel Edition | Human Edition
Tumblr media
Please remember: you can do hard things!
Tumblr media
Belphegor
No gift, he’s from a time before that was a thing and does not care enough to check what the current trends are.
If you ask nice enough, he might bring you something next time.
Weirdly obsessed with humans however. (Just not in a ‘I wanna be like them’ way)
Find a cafe with outdoor seating in a highly populated area, and people watch.
Laugh at his jokes, and don’t be precious over your food/drink cause he’s gonna help himself.
‘Hot, not, not, HOT, extra hot.’ ‘This is so good, have you tried this?’ ‘It was yours? Oh shit, sorry. At least you have good taste… in multiple ways’ (he’d wink at you then, if he could.) ‘Ew have those pants ever in fashion?’ ‘Haha, did you see that kid face plant the side walk?! Get rekt’
Benny
He’s an old traditional man really, he’ll bring you a bouquet of daisies. Legitimately, if he could, he would ask your father for permission to take you out.
Cooking as has always been, and continues to be a big part of Benny's personality.
It doesn’t matter that the food no longer sustains him, because it keeps him connected to his home, and his history.
Plus, the way to any person's heart is through their stomach,
You’ll be in the kitchen together, cooking gumbo or jambalaya, and bananas foster for dessert.
If you don’t know how to cook, don’t worry. Benny is gonna take the lead anyway, he’ll teach you as much as you think you can handle.
He’s very respectful, but if you just so happen to brush against each other while working in the same space, well, that just can be helped now can it?
Or if you’re slightly in his way, sometimes he just needs to rest a gentle but firm hand on your hip and guide you to the side.
Or if you accidentally get something on your cheek? Your lip? He’ll have to get that for you.
Crowley
I’m picturing a rustic but sophisticated cabin in the woods.
Somewhere private, a safe space just for the two of you.
Something with a big, roaring fireplace.
A big, plush, velvety sofa, and an array of fluffy blankets, pillows, furs, rugs.
A fully stocked bar. ‘Don’t worry darling, you won’t have to lift a finger.’ He or a lesser demon will make all your drinks for you.
Just some real, 1 on 1 quality time together where you can both be vulnerable.
Whether you spend all night in deep conversation, cuddling, or getting even more intimate is your choice.
Meg
Would forget to bring you a gift, but if it goes well, she’ll likely give you one of her many pieces of jewelry, ‘Whatever you like most hun, just take it.’
I feel like she would actually really enjoy something creative, the messier the better.
Like finding a big open space, lowering the lights, laying down a big canvas, cracking open a bottle, and getting busy with some paints.
No brushes, just hands (or other body parts if you like).
Rowena
Gracing you with her presence is gift enough.
If anything, you should be bringing her a gift. Jewelry is always best, but she will settle for roses or red wine.
Rowena knows her worth, and if you don’t, then don’t waste her time.
She deserves nothing less than to be wined and dined somewhere very nice.
Followed by a show. The ballet or the opera.
Just imagine, the both of you dressed to the nines. Holding hands over the table, good food and drink, Rowena sharing stories from her time on earth.
Coffee or dessert? Both. Please and thank you.
Ruby
Would bring you candy, but you have to share.
Also a big foodie, but more eating, less cooking.
Like a street food market, or a boardwalk.
You can compete on the water guns and ring toss games to win each other prizes.
She’s only letting you win if there is something in it for her. – Particularly a prize that she wants.
Regardless of who wins what, you’re gonna be the one carrying everything.
Then stop at every food stand on the way.
Bonus points for somewhere that has proper french fries in large portions.
Afterwards, you can chat at the end of the peer, and/or make out under it.

Headcanons for Clive Rosfield with gn s/o reassuring him that he's a good man who does his best to help people despite everything he has gone through, they're proud of him, and they love him so much? With hugs and kisses too!
Tumblr media
Clive Rosfield had to be one of, if not the most strongest man you’ve ever met in your life.
Yet you’ve found that the stronger the man, the more broken they seemed to be in due to certain circumstances that happened within their past.
A past that could still be felt to this very day as it clung onto your beloved’s soul, it’s claws digging in deep into him that you worried that you’d deal him more damage if you were to pull them out raw.
You wanted nothing more then to help your exhausted lover and thankfully a time did come where Clive needed your comfort and sweet words and even sweeter reminders the most in the aftermath of a nightmare;
‘What if I’m an omen of death, destined to leave a trail of dead bodies, friends and foes alike in my wake?’ Clive admitted to you under starry skies. Yet despite how ethereal the sight above was…the topic at hand was anything but. ‘What if by the end of this I wouldn’t have had you gravely harmed, whether it’d be by my hand or others because of me.’ He adds sombrely, clutching your hand when he felt it involuntarily twitch.
‘I don’t want to have to watch that day come to pass.’ Clive was whispering now as though if he raised his voice any louder then something awful would take place, and it wouldn’t even matter whether the inherent danger were to take place five minutes from your conversation or even going as far as five weeks.
For as long as Clive could sense danger, he would always on a subconscious have himself somehow incorporated into it one way or another. He truly felt the one to blame for every wrongdoing that was committed no matter the scale of it, he just felt as though all bad things tie back to him in even the most minuscule ways.
‘Clive,’ you gripped his hand tightly, ‘not everything bad is inherently your fault.’ You told him but you weren’t finished yet. ‘You’re a good man, regardless of what the past speaks of your character. You’ve done a whole lot of good since those dark times and done a whole lot of good for the people who felt as though they had no hope to hold onto, Who felt like they too were deserving of the wrongdoings that have happened in their pasts because they felt as though they didn’t deserve better.’ You raised his hand and pressed a dozen kisses against the skin there as you decided to hold his hand close to your chest.
‘You’re a good man Clive Rosfield and I will not stand in hearing you slander yourself on the pretences of lies and falsehoods.’ You said as you tug him closer so you could bring your arms to hold him against you as you began to speak your words against his ebony locks. ‘For the Clive Rosfield I know is a brave, strong man of many talents, and he’s a beautiful man with a gentle, kind and caring heart.’ You felt Clive relax further into you, as though attempting to drown himself in your warmth and your scent with how he noses it’s way from against your collar bone, and upwards until his head is firmly flushed against your neck where he would then find comfort in your pulse point as his eyes began to drift off at the sound of your soothing voice.
A voice Clive would rather die then to never hear again, whispering sweet enchantments that you call encouragement into his ear.
‘And I am proud, so very proud of my Clive that neither words nor any form of expression can begin to accurately convey of the magnitude of how proud I am of him.’ You whispered sweetly, pressed kisses now and then again his hair or any form of exposed warm skin that was within your lips reach to douse in a plethora of kisses, leaving not a spec untouched by your lips, and even as you pulled away, you could feel Clive’s body writhe as it began to desperately miss your lips; considering how determined your beloved seemed to press himself further up against you, you’d think that he was trying to imprint himself onto you in some form of way.
‘His demons may want him to claim otherwise but I wish for him to remember that he isn’t what they say he is, Clive Rosfield isn’t a monster, nor a death omen, but I know my Clive Rosfield and my Clive Rosefield is anything and everything but those words. He’s generous, brave, bold, and yes I do have to admit, a little stubborn and hardheaded.’ You admitted, chuckling as Clive removed his head from your neck to give you a look. ‘But, even though he may often claim that he’s putting me in danger just for loving him.’
You pressed your forehead against his, nudging your nose against his, smiling when he wordlessly reciprocated the action. ‘I’ve never felt more safer then I ever have then within his arms.’ You muttered against his lips before closing the gap and kissing every ounce of love and affection you held for Clive into that kiss in hopes it’d make its way to his soul. Humming in delight as you felt him practically bruise your lips with the force of his kiss that burned with a fierce passion that at some points you felt as though you couldn’t keep up with him.
You knew Clive had a whole lot of love to give to the point where it became overwhelming and consumed every action he did, from the way he protected others, to the way he was currently holding onto you as though you were the last flicker of light in his life; which you might as well be. His grip was firm and strong but while also being gentle and cautious as not to bring you bodily harm, because god knows Clive would never forgive himself if he was the main reason you were hurt, as proven multiple times where you had gotten hurt saving his ass and you’d awaken up with Clive at bedside, holding your hand within his larger and warmer ones; it felt as though your hand was trapped within the depths of a campfire. Comforting and warm.
‘What have I done to deserve you, my love?’ Clive whispered against your lips upon pulling away but consciously choosing to stay within proximity of you in hopes that your words and love would continue to rub off on him like they have for as long as you both been lovers. You smiled, bringing your hands up to his scruffy jaw, enjoying the prickly sensation that kissed the pads of your fingertips deliciously. ‘You were just yourself my star, I was just merely captivated by your beauty and the way you treated others as equals and fell deeply in love ever since.’
‘What about now?’ Clive asked you.
You pecked his lips, ‘I’m still falling my star, I’m still falling.’

Parasite Kink, A Poorly Written Essay
I'm not sure how interested y'all are in an introspective essay of my parasite kink, but it's 12 AM and I got class tomorrow. I might as well.
Monsterfucker, as far as the word goes, is an umbrella term for sexual interest in non-human entities. In my opinion, the spectrum of Monterfuckery goes from nonhumanoids (tentacles, plants, insects, cosmic horrors, etc), (humanoids (werewolves, vampires, demons, robots, etc) and the very-humanoids (catboys, hucows, etc). All one needs to be a Monsterfucker is to have an interest in something distinctly nonhuman, whether that be through clear visual means or subtle mental and physical.
To that extent, parasites are a beloved monster of us fuckers, but rarely get the love they so deserve. Why is that? Well, across all monsters, parasites hold their own tropes that get covered just as well by others:
Want to be unknowingly corrupted against your will by a powerful foe that has no interest in your wellbeing? Demons, Cosmic horrors, Aliens, etc. got you covered.
Want to become a host to a growing population of critters within your womb? Any and all monsters can cover that front.
But what about carrying a disease that can be spread onto others, through sexual means with sexual side effects? Parasites are the only monsters that cover this within the Monsterfucker niche. (Though if you're willing to spread the Monsterfucker umbrella a little further, you got your Mad Scientist. But we're not talking about them here.) Regardless of prelude, you can have your Demons infect infect others with demonic STD's, an outbreak of tentacle monsters that can only survive within the innards of unsuspecting individuals, or even a lycanthropy parasite.
Though, that brings up the divide of the parasitism kink. On its own, it's a bit of an umbrella term as well. I personally count sex disease and parasites under the same niche (corruption and spread being the forefront of the appeal). Along with further division: its purpose.
Does it originate from a specific monster/place? A divine being looking to create worshipers regardless of consent? An asteroid some hapless individual happened to stumble upon? An insect species that only needs you for your body to grow its population?
Does it exist as a disease to take over the mind and body? Turn individuals into mooing cows that'll fuck themselves on the phallic object? Is it a demonic infestation to turn humans into proper cum factories?
Is the parasite mainly for spreading or corrupting? Is the victim unaware of their parasite? Do they care at all? Do they fight its corruption? Can they do it successfully?
Does the parasite want? Or is it as mindless as any virus in the real world?
All these questions. Because parasites are a rather vague monster. They can take on any origin and lore you could ever want. Though all monsters can have those similar qualities. However, monsters on their own don't take on the parasitism quality by default. But that's what makes monsters so lovely anyways. The ability to adapt them to your specific desires is what makes writing about them so fun. Why writing smut is so fun.
All this to say my enjoyment of parasites comes from my love of corruption of the self mixed with the corruption of others. A permanent change made against ones will by something using you for its own means while also focusing on changing others.

A while ago you made some Deimos x Teammate headcanons, and they were all absolutely WONDERFUL
Would it be possible to get some Hank x Teammate headcanons? 👀
absolutely!!
headcanons under the cut
2BHank:
obviously gotta start with these two, respect for the elderly and all that
- divorced but it's complicated
- they started out as roommates while Doc was in college and Hank, unbeknownst to Doc at the time, was just getting started at being a menace to society
- they were close. a little too close. but nothing ever came of it aside from a mutual pining
- when Doc began working for the Agency/Nexus it drew a hard line between them. both believed they were doing what was right and that the other was a lost cause
- it turned into a physical fight and Hank did in fact leave Doc for dead
- he got better dw
- fast forward a few years, Doc has swapped sides and is incapable of admitting he was wrong
- Hank is not even a little bit sorry because in his mind it was deserved at the time
- they're different people now though and they both know that. the past is in the past. the world keeps turning
- their relationship has moved beyond platonic since but it's still complicated. they don't have the luxury of deep "what are we" conversations or quality time spent together unless Hank is injured
- regardless, Hank spends whatever downtime he does have in Doc's personal space. he's the type of guy that will just loom over you silently while you're working and patiently wait for Doc to pay attention to him
- Doc still keeps things professional for the sake of professionalism. his guard is only ever truly down when they've retired for the night and he can give Hank every drop of attention he craves
- Hank finds physical touch grounding so on days when his head is a mess and all his thoughts sound like they're underwater, he'll drape himself over Doc's shoulders and try to map out the sensation of him for a while
- "Wimbleton" is as close to a pet name as Doc will ever get. if he uses Hank's first name it's usually when he's mad/annoyed
- Hank doesn't necessarily bite Doc but he's got this weird form of cute aggression that makes him want to put his teeth on him
Hankmos:
yeah I already did this in the last post so what
- their first meeting was the equivalent of finding a wet kitten at the scene of a car accident
- Deimos hadn't yet made a name for himself but was well on his way, torching every stitch of AAHW property he could get his hands on (pyrokinesis Deimos my beloved)
- Hank was sent to raid a cloning facility when it happened. the entire place had gone up in flames and was little more than smoldering debris by the time he got there. he was there to kill everything that moved so of course he had to parse through said debris for any survivors
- what he found was a scrawny fucked up little dude passed out at the center of it all, completely unharmed, the only sign he'd been involved in the fire being the singed remains of his clothes
- interesting enough for Hank to not kill him despite being visibly a clone. instead he wraps Deimos's tiny ass up in his trenchcoat and brings him back to base
- Deimos still wears said trenchcoat because he's a fanboy and nothing will change that
- which also means he glues himself to Hank's hip from day one, not being a nuisance but always in the vicinity, tags along on whatever missions he can, asks Hank to train him in CQB
- and of course Hank grows fond of Deimos. how could he not? his rambling is pleasant background noise that helps keep Hank in the moment, he has a nice smile and laughs a lot, and it doesn't take long for him to become a worthy opponent for Hank
- Deimos goes out of his way to impress Hank. whether that means making stupid jokes to try and get a laugh out of him or showing off on the battlefield at every opportunity, his efforts know no bounds. it makes his heart flutter in a weird way whenever he gets those little signals of approval
- their dynamic in terms of combat is very clean cut leader/follower. Deimos knows how to operate independently but Hank's orders are executed swiftly and without question
- a lot of their communication is done through body language and micro-expressions. Hank is incredibly perceptive of those subtle shifts and for Deimos it comes naturally
- neither is keen on eye contact which works out perfectly, Hank because of the 'tism and Deimos because it feels like someone is trying to square up
- I feel like romantic cannibalism in the literal sense but as a metaphor would shit them so well. there's so much want between them and it's like they can't ever satisfy it. simply touching isn't enough. they need to grab. they need to hold. they need to squeeze. they could become each other and it still wouldn't be enough
- on the outside they play it cool for the most part obviously but the tension is always there. everyone can feel it
Hankford:
woefully underappreciated
- these two have the same vibe and demo and soldier tbh
- Sanford's whole thing is blowing shit up and setting things on fire
- Hank's thing is killing people in increasingly dramatic and violent ways
- combine the two, what more could you want out of a ship
- most of their initial bonding happens over explosions and combat tactics, as well as the inherently homoerotic act of patching each other up during battle
- after a particularly high risk/high reward mission, standing amongst the rubble of what was once a weapons factory and still high on adrenaline and dopamine, Sanford grabs Hank by the lapels of his coat and kisses him
- oh to make out with someone in the aftermath of an explosion
- these two lack a balancing factor. neither needs to be protected by the other. neither has ever been chill a day in their life. both are itching to destroy something at any given moment. they hype each other up and egg on every OSHA violation in the book
- Hank does feel protective towards Sanford because that's just in his nature, but he doesn't feel like he needs to hover or have eyes on him constantly. Sanford has dragged his sorry bleeding ass out of trouble more than once, after all
- Sanford is the king of PDA and they have to establish pretty early on that Hank isn't comfortable with others seeing that much of his private life. holding hands is as far as it goes if others are around
- alone? Sanford can't keep his hands to himself. his favorite thing is to dip Hank when he least expects it just to make him blush
- Hank isn't sure how to reciprocate at first. his hands are meant for crushing and tearing and Sanford is so gentle and tender. it's a learning curve and the way his hands shake when he's excited doesn't help
- they work it out over time together though, Sanford making an effort to lead affection and letting Hank sort out what he likes along the way
- Sanford is Hank's weighted blanket I take no criticism on this
- Sanford calls Hank "Doll". Hank incorrectly interprets this as sarcasm because he can't imagine someone associating him with something delicate or cute
- neither of them is allowed anywhere near the kitchen. not because they can't cook but because neither of them has any impulse control and the microwave will be blown up "for science"
- Sanford, ever observant and a little obsessive, begins mapping out Hank's behaviors and mental state as best as he can. he isn't surprised that Hank is a little fucked up, but there's a lot more going on in their than expected. and Hank, uncharacteristically, does open up to Sanford about the dissociation and memory problems
- Hank has outlawed the word babygirl because it makes him flustered angry

МК1 AU, where Hanzo Hasashi is not rebirthed
After Ahsoka's ending, I cried my eyes out all over and then thought of my AU.
[Hanzo Hasashi] What if Hanzo became a ghost again? But he was no longer seeking revenge, but peace?
It took him a long time to forgive Lin Kuei, yet even longer to forgive himself.
He quietly watched as Liu Kang restarted the timeline. As the universe breathed life, and with it came death. Thousands, millions of lives drifted away through the eons, and Hanzo realized for a moment that being human was much harder and more exciting. As much pain as he saw in the hearts of humans, he also saw boundless happiness.
He learned to rejoice in the little things and to have a deep understanding of those who had stepped on the path of evil. He learned how to curb anger and hatred.
But the hardest part was learning to let go of those he loved more than his own life.
After many more eons, he finally saw them.
Harumi was still as beautiful and majestic as ever. There was a goodness and strength in her soul that Hanzo could not have had in his lifetime. She cared for other people she didn't know in her previous life. But Hanzo couldn't blame these 'children', they weren't the ones who had hatred and dislike for Shirai Ryu. They were the ones who had created it.
Hanzo would have laughed at the ridiculousness of it. If his Kuai Liang had found out that his counterpart was now Scorpion, he would have definitely frozen with shock. If his Harumi found out that she was now married to someone else….. Hanzo didn't know how his beloved would react.
It all seemed unfair.
But on the other hand, if he wasn't with them, maybe they could have the happiness they deserved. They could give Satoshi a long life full of joy and adventure.
A lot had happened since they had defeated Shang Tsung, defeated Havik….. and made peace with Bi-Han. His worst enemy… and his sin. Watching this man who dreamed of becoming Grandmaster of a powerful clan manage to escape the clutches of darkness, avoid his fate of becoming Noob Saibot, was a true blessing. Bi Han was able to suppress his insatiable greed, learned patience and forgiveness, and restored his clan's honor, once again becoming the protector of the Earthrealm with Shirai Ryu.
Kuai Liang regardless of whether he was Sub-Zero or Scorpion, he was still the same Kuai Liang he had once known. Loved. And still does. He was brave and righteous, knew regret and pain, but unlike Hanzo he was able to muffle it all and not follow the path he himself had once walked. Kuai Liang deserved his title, bestowed upon him by the clan for his strength and heart. Just as he deserved to be Shirai Ryu's Grandmaster and, as bitter as it was, to be Harumi's husband. To be Satoshi's father. With him, his family has a chance to live happily ever after.
A chance they wouldn't have if he was with them.
Perhaps it was time for him to let go and forgive himself.
"You will not show yourself to them, my dear friend?" "They don't need to." "They miss you."
Liu Kang never lied. Not to friends, not to enemies.
The very thought that his loved ones, even without knowing much about him, still missed him warmed his dead heart.
"My place is in the old world, amidst the agony and pain we endured. I will keep them until my time comes." "When they remember, they will be miserable, Hanzo. They will look for you, all of them." "Then I entrust them to you, my friend. You will do the right thing." "That is cruel. But I respect your choice. Farewell, Hanzo Hasashi."
The two once allies bowed to each other.
Hanzo took one last look at the happy faces of his loved ones and disappeared with the falling fire petals of the Fire Garden.
He was at peace at last.
P.S. I'm crying Anakin is so😭
P.S.2 Now I need a fullstory for this AU, but I don't think I could handle this(

I WANT TO HEAR ABT THE LOST SISTER. smth is going on w it i can’t identify
the importance of the lost sister in the stranger things narrative
okay so i got one like on that post. this is happening now.
the lost sister has always had one of my favourite plot lines in the entire series, and i'm tired of people saying it was useless or that they skip it on rewatches. especially in the byler fandom, where everyone seems to be insanely gung-ho on the idea of el getting independence from a break up with mike.
el may have started out as someone with very little freedom, but she's still a very independent character in her own right. you could argue that her independence wasn't there during the entire series, however, a key moment in gaining that power over herself was in the lost sister.
so by skipping it, avoiding it or not posting about it in general, we miss out on one of the best parts of el's arc in stranger things.
the most obvious and easily analysable part of this episode is el's relationship with kali.
kali prasad is el's narrative foil. they come from similar circumstances but have contrasting personalities and values. kali's view on their childhood is simple. she wants revenge against those who wronged her family, and attempt to hurt her friends. el's motive is practically identical, but this is where the 'morals' and 'values' come into play.
kali is willing to kill without thought or remorse. el is not.
and before you say "but dia, el has killed people! she doesn't hate it!" i feel the need to point out that el has never felt like she's ever had a choice. she kills because she's in danger, she kills because she has never felt safe her entire life, she kills because it is what she was trained for. she kills, because it is all she knows how to do.
but with kali, el is offered that choice. kali gives her the gun, and tells her to kill a man. people say kali is manipulative, but i don't see this at all. she gives el every bit of information she has on this man, his views, his crimes. she never threatens to punish her whether el follows through with the deed, or not. she is the first person who says el is her family, and does not hurt her.
that's crazy. just saying.
so we see el, dressed in black and makeup a mess. she is playing pretend again, trying to fit in somewhere at last. she holds the gun, feels rage and anger and thoughts of 'he deserves it'. but, ever our heroine, el hesitates.
she grants him mercy. she lets him go.
regardless of how the rest of the mission went, this is a very important moment for el. she makes this decision, not influenced by anyone around her. she takes control of her fate, her destiny, and she didn't need to sacrifice anything to do that.
i could continue with points like the entire power training thing, the meaning of family, the advancement of the plot. but that's obvious stuff, it doesn't take much effort to figure that out.
there is so much good in the lost sister. all you have to do is dig a little deeper and take off your shipper goggles to see it.

Okey so Cole and Jesse have a kid (which is super adorable) but do the others have kids of their own in legacyverse? Adopted, biological or true magical ways (ahem cam) Or do any o the ninja have a wedding in a sense, whether big or small ( cough jaya cough they deserve it cough)
As soon as the Overlord is dealt with, Jay is like, on the move to get married to Nya before more disaster drives them apart again. He's got a whole wedding planning book he's been hoarding in preparation for years, but ultimately does not have any preference to how big or small it is as long as it happens. So with Nya's consultation, they have a decently-sized ceremony traditional to the Archipelago, honoring Nya's water heritage. ...and then they vanish for weeks on their honeymoon.
Cole and Jesse plan to have a cozy, small wedding with just close friends and family until Lou is informed of the coming union and in a bid to help make it happen faster he single-handedly and very gladly offers to fund the wedding to far more extravagant proportions. Jesse's kind of into the fairy-tale wedding thing (and is pressured by his side of the family to go for it) but Cole still wants to keep things lowkey and intimate like they planned. Thus, to compromise, they have their unofficial fanciful wedding in West Haven with like, every person they've ever met...and their real wedding at the monastery, overseen by Wu~
Zane and Pixal, like Julien and Aurora, don't get married at all because they feel they don't really need to but instead have a small, private ceremony for themselves consisting of pledging themselves to each other...and no one else finds out it even happened until years later, but are respectful of their decisions and are happy for them regardless.
I'm not committed to any ideas for Kai yet but if he were to get married or anything similar he'd be the last to do so asdfhjkljhhghfdd. Not because he can't nor wouldn't commit but it's just such a big decision for himself and even if he's absolutely sure it's what he wants there's so much that can go wrong and getting married is like making a promise and you know how he feels about those so he'd probably have to work through a lot of thoughts first. ...And the idea of Skylor being the one to propose and Kai being the most flabbergasted, flustered, and pleased he's even been in his life is hilarious. And kind of heart-wrenching.
Mweeeeeh I do feel a touch hesitant to give anyone else kids because I'd hate to accidentally contradict something drastic down the line (I like to bend canon, not fully break it), buuuut on the other hand I have been playing around with the idea of Mini-Pix 7 (shortened to just 'Seven') becoming a full-fledged Pixane child. (I saw that one art on Valentine's Day and couldn't get it out of my head since aaaaaaa). Things may change if I ever decide to fully take the indulgent plunge, but for now, we're just stuck with the magic baby.

Zodiac Signs Who Think The World Revolves Around Them
Attitude matters.
How we choose to present ourselves and the face we show to the world are crucial elements in our life experience.
Popular wisdom tells us that we need to treat others how they'd like others to treat us and that we should always be aware not only of how we come off but also of what we put out to the world.
However, there's a growing current of thought that tells us that we should also just expect good things to happen to us. Not because we're good or anything like that, but because we deserve them.
If that attitude comes off as entitled to you, you'd be correct, because that's the whole point.
Entitlement as a form of self-improvement might sound counterproductive to you and might even seem like a recipe for disaster; but for the following zodiac signs, it's just how life has always worked.
Capricorn
As far as they're concerned, Capricorns have nothing to prove: They're great because they know they're great and they don't care if you agree with them or not.
This bold attitude allows Capricorns to feel like they own the world and that the world owes them, which often leads to a sense of entitlement that rubs other people the wrong way.
Regardless of what other people think, though, that confidence always pushes Capricorns to excel in whatever they set their eyes on, so we can't fault them for feeling like they do.
Leo
Bold and grandiose, Leos don't only expect the world to bow down to them, but they also expect to be admired by friends and enemies alike.
Known for their love of luxury and comfortable living, Leos will cruise by knowing that they deserve what's best, for merely being themselves.
Luxury accommodations, high-end gifts, and people falling over themselves to get on their good graces are things that should just happen, whether Leos have done anything to earn them or not.
Virgo
Virgos aren't known for their expensive tastes or their high-maintenance personalities. They can do with very little and, while they appreciate luxury when it comes, they don't expect it.
What they expect, though, is obedience.
Virgos know themselves the heroes of their own story, which means you should trust them without question.
You're with them or against them, and there's no in-between.
This wouldn't be so bad if Virgos were flexible individuals, but their black and white mentalities make them see all criticisms as personal attacks, so even if you're trying to help them, they might see you as the opposition.
Aries
No one is surprised at seeing Aries on this list.
Entitled, competitive, aggressive and bold, Aries’s like playing life at a hard level and will make absolutely no accommodations for anyone else.
It's their way or the highway, and it's not because Aries can't take criticism or opposition but rather because they just won't wait for anyone.
Aries don't settle. Aries don't make do with less. Aries takes what they want because it's owed to them, and you can either get with the program or fall behind.
There's no in-between.
Gemini
Pretentious, high maintenance and demanding, Geminis believe the world owes them something and they can turn bitter because of this.
If things are going the way they want, then everything is fantastic.
If things are going badly, however, Geminis will perceive it as an attack and will look for someone to take out their frustrations on, whether they're responsible or not.
Sagittarius
Another fire sign makes the list!
Sagittarius are known for their desire to live life on their terms and their love for freedom.
While this doesn't scream "entitlement," wait until you get between a Sagittarius and their life goals. Then you'll be able to see the entitlement just fine.
Nobody treasures their freedom as much as Sagittarius does, and they simply won't listen to anyone who tries to control this willful soul.
Sagittarian entitlement shines through in their pursuit of a free life. They'll chase after their dreams without ever thinking about how it'll affect those who surround them.

Hello, we've never spoken before but I would love to hear your thoughts/opinions on this. Spoilers for episode 5 of the Obi-Wan Kenobi series.
I was rewatching that conversation between Reva and Obi-Wan and on one hand I see him, former Jedi General and "The Negotiator", making a deal with the enemy, in the sense of "I will bait Lord Vader with my presence so that you can have a chance to exact your revenge, and you will let the rebels and I escape in the meantime".
On the other hand, I also see a certain cruelty on Obi-Wan's part, with him convincing Reva, a child who don't deserve the hurt and pain caused by Order 66, to turn against Vader, and instead of helping her take him down ("we could end this together"), he just leaves her. On her own. Even after she asked him where he was when Anakin slaughtered the younglings. And just like ten years ago, Anakin stabbed her and Kenobi was nowhere to be found.
Whether this is me reading too much into one line, I cannot be sure about it. Can't wait for your reply. May the Force of Others be with you. :)
Hi! I can see how it comes across that way, as well as I think Reva may see it that way too, despite that I also think it was meant to play out exactly as they planned. Obi-Wan's role was to be the bait, the distraction, because Vader was supposed to be so distracted by losing Obi-Wan that he wouldn't sense Reva's treachery coming, that she would be able to take him by surprise. I don't think Obi-Wan was ever supposed to be there during the fight, but instead that his absence was meant to distract and unhinge Vader further, so Reva could come at him with more focus than Vader had. Because that’s exactly what Obi-Wan promises her.  “What makes you think he won’t see it coming?”  “Because all he’ll see is me.” and Reva sees he’s taken off well before she gets to Vader.  There is nothing forcing her into this fight right at this moment, she could have let the chance go, if Obi-Wan was meant to be there with her, she could have seen that he wasn’t, and left it for another time. But she still attacks because Obi-Wan delivered, as best he could, what he promised her: Vader is so hyper-focused on him that he loses them, he’s so distracted by his need to win that he doesn’t realize what’s happening until it’s too late.  It’s unfortunate that Vader has long since known what she was planning, otherwise maybe it would have worked, who knows. I think, ultimately, it comes down to that Reva was hunting Anakin regardless, it didn’t matter what Obi-Wan did or didn’t do.  He drew Vader there, but Vader was going to come anyway, so he’d do his best to scramble Vader’s brain so Reva would have her shot, if she wanted to take it. The way that scene plays out, Reva had full knowledge that he wasn’t there and she didn’t have to take this chance.  But she wanted it and so she did, even if her best wasn’t good enough to beat Vader and she’s so full of rage that Obi-Wan doesn’t want Anakin dead, that she’ll blame him.  It’s completely empathizable why she might scream in hurt and rage at him, “Why weren’t you there, to fight Vader?  Why didn’t you help me!?” because she already feels betrayed and abandoned by him. “You're not bringing him to me. I'm bringing him to you.“ is what Obi-Wan says, not “us”.  He does say they can end this together, but that’s in the scope of each of them playing their part, him the scrambler of Vader’s thoughts, her the one that will stab Vader as he’s distracted.  But he’s not bringing Vader to the two of them, he’s bringing Vader to her.  This is her chance, not theirs.

Madame Adelaide: Of course. She wrote to me just this morning. You are not her only tie to le palais. 
Monseigneur Oliver: How is she?
Madame Adelaide: I do not believe I am at liberty to say. 
Tumblr media
Monseigneur Oliver: Addy, s'il vous plaît. 
Madame Adelaide: [Sighs] Eleanor is...angry. And frankly, so am I. 
Monseigneur Oliver: Do you think she’ll ever forgive me? 
Tumblr media
Madame Adelaide: That depends. 
Monseigneur Oliver: On? 
Madame Adelaide: Whether or not you can tame that viciously unattractive jealous streak of yours. She is absolutely humilated, Oliver. Can you understand that? 
Monseigneur Oliver: I-
Tumblr media
Madame Adelaide: I simply cannot believe you would put her in such a position. Did you truly ask her to convey her true feelings about le Vicomte de Vignieu? In front of him? Had she not managed herself the way she did your words would have ruined her reputation! You claim you love her more than life itself, but if you truly did you would not have done such a horrid thing. 
Monseigneur Oliver: I know...Addy, I ruined everything...
Madame Adelaide: [Sighs] What is the favour you wish to ask? 
Monseigneur Oliver: I was hoping you would invite Mademoiselle Aubert to join you at Gala de l'Opéra.  
Madame Adelaide: Quoi? 
Tumblr media
Monseigneur Oliver: I did not stutter, Addy. 
Madame Adelaide: I don’t understand...you cannot stand Aurora. Especially for all she did to-
Monseigneur Oliver: There’s no point reminding me of it. 
Madame Adelaide: [Scoffs] If this is your way of apologising-
Monseigneur Oliver: Let us say I also have been asked a favour, and if I don’t wish to have Maman breathing down my neck-
Tumblr media
Madame Adelaide: I...suppose I could write to her and extend an invitation. 
Monseigneur Oliver: Merci, Addy.
Madame Adelaide: Just know you are not the only one who cannot stand her, Oliver. What she did, regardless of the reasons behind it, do not sit well with me. 
Monseigneur Oliver: That certainly makes two of us.
Madame Adelaide: Is there anything else? 
Tumblr media
Monseigneur Oliver: Non...Addy what is it? 
Madame Adelaide: It’s nothing, Oliver.
Monseigneur Oliver: You’ve not been yourself for a few days. You can talk to me, Addy. Just because I’ve been dealing with my own worries, does not mean I do not worry about you. 
Madame Adelaide: I know. I assure you, I’m fine. 
Monseigneur Oliver: If anything changes-
Madame Adelaide: I’ll come straight to you. 
Monseigneur Oliver: Très bien. Now, I must be off. 
Tumblr media
Madame Adelaide: Quoi? Where are you going? 
Monseigneur Oliver: Where do you think? I need to rectify my mistakes.

hello hello hello!!! i fell in LOVE with ur spirit au and i,,, have a question,,
does Ingo ever come across akari/dawn before she was thrown into the past? and in addition, did he stumble upon/find her when everyone is in their correct times?
(Yea I’ve been reading your tags omg. Thank youuuuu)
Hmmmm I haven’t actually thought about that! It’s very possible. Ingo basically adopted her in Hisui, so he’d probably have a connection to her soul like he does with Emmet’s. He’d be able to know where she is and if she’s feeling strong emotions. But does that apply to before she gets sent to Hisui? Would he have that connection to her regardless of her having met him yet? Ingo’s connection with Emmet manifested the moment he (and also himself lol) was born (meaning one day while beboppin’ around, Ingo just suddenly knew that Emmet Exists Now™) so maybe it would work the same for Akari/Dawn.
One day while reading in some library in Kanto, Ingo feels a little flicker like a heartbeat brush the edge of his consciousness.
“Omg!! my daughter!!! She’s here!!!!”
I think Ingo wouldn’t be as reluctant to interact with Dawn during the Before as he is Emmet. After all, who knows what would happen if he were to come into contact with his own living self??? A paradox???? With Dawn, however, he’d probably involve himself in her life somehow. Maybe during her Pokémon journey he just so happens to find himself in Sinnoh. Dawn comes across him on a route and they have a nice friendly battle. Ingo is sure to giver her lots of battling tips!! She’s gonna grow up into a powerful trainer, after all.
As for the other thing, do you mean whether or not he sees her after she got un-eebied? If so, then absolutely. While he came back to Unova a month after his living self got eebied, Dawn was missing for over a year before she returns. Ingo kept an eye on the news after he learned that Akari was actually the Sinnoh champion! He knew that she’d go missing. And that she would return, of course. So once he learns that the Sinnoh Champion has been found, he finds a way to contact her.
Dawn is ecstatic to hear from him, and flies to Unova as soon as possible for HER very much deserved reunion hug. Especially after she learned who he was once she got back. And researched what happened to Warden Ingo and learned he died. She felt horrible, and blamed herself. If she’d been more insistent he come back to the future with her, he would still be alive... Then she gets a call like “AKARI, MY DEAREST DAUGHTER!! HELLO!!!” And all is good in the world.
Edit: uh oh now I wanna write about Akari learning about Ingo’s fate and then receiving a very LOUD phone call.

Hi there!
May I ask a few writing questions (which, might sound like I’m actually trying to demand more Henry fics, but I swear are genuine questions, although I would always welcome more Henry fic):
(1) Creatively, what inspires you to create a universe with full storylines from beginning to end (like, say, the Dryad fics, or Waters of Babylon/Petrichor/Singing of Mount Abora VERSUS creating a universe (like with the Henry universe) and keeping it to out-of-order ficlets? Is it the different categories that inspire you differently (Dryad is family fic, Waters of Babylon through Abora are UST to RST, Henry are Scully/Other)? Is it because of the labor involved?
(2) In stories like the Henry stories, do you have a timeline set in your mind of where each ficlet takes place, or do you write without a timeline in your mind? Is it easier or harder to write without a timeline in mind? I have a Master document where I try and place your ficlets (both Henry and non-Henry) where they might sort of fit based on the details you provide but there are some where I just don’t know and just organize them by dates of publication, but it kills me when I don’t know what YOU, the author, intended when it’s your universe/your mind I’m eagerly entering and it made me wonder how/if dates/eras/season timelines, etc ever float around in your mind? Or, the decision-making process for why to sometimes include them, and sometimes not.
(3) For people like you and the Penumbras, Prufrock’sLoves, of the world, etc — you’re clearly gifted at writing, and I assume writing is an outlet of a sort for you. How do you contain that, or give that gift an outlet, during periods where you step away from the fandom and not write for months/years? I ask this as someone who does not have a gift or anything I’m especially good at (which is fine! I lead a full life regardless). I mean, take Henry! The Henry universe haunts me (in good ways, of course). At any given time. During a meeting at work, or while shopping for something that triggers XF thoughts and then I wonder about whether Scully and Henry finally parted ways on the best of terms so that Scully and Mulder can get back to making love inside a car in the rain guilt-free. (haha) And this universe isn’t real! And I didn’t write it! And… it still takes up time sometimes in my head. Wouldn’t this haunting be multiplied in yours since you’ve created all these universes? Are they always in the background of your mind? Do you compartmentalize them? Do you know the ending of the Henry universe, etc?
Basically, what happens in the mind of creative people? How does your brain function?
Weird, super big question, I know, but MAN, I will forever be sorry I missed the ATXC days, or the Livejournal days where I can dig up author postings where they provide more details about their stories/processes.
I just have so many questions for you guys!
Thank you for alllllll you do for the fandom.
First of all, thank you so much for this ask. It still blows my mind that people receive happiness from a hobby that brings me so much joy and relaxation.
I miss the ATXC days as well, and especially LiveJournal. The PornBattles on LJ, ironically, taught me to write.
1 - It’s really hard to say. A lot of my fic is inspired by gaps or frustrations created by 1013. On the one hand Mulder and Scully are these deeply complex people with nuanced backstories and on the other hand…??? David’s wedding ring stunt or Gillian giving Scully an affair with a married professor. Dryad came from a frustrated place that is due in part to Chris seeming to think that you can either be a parent or a complex individual. Plus it was fun to write that autopsy.
Henry was created by an ask that I loved because Scully DOES deserve better but also I want her with Mulder and I wanted to explore that conflict and make a reader feel it.
2 - Oh my gosh that is an amazing compliment! I don’t really have a solid timeline, I’m afraid. I am truly, truly absolutely shit at the WIP life. 🙃.
3 - I remain blown away by this praise. My career shift has allowed me to have a lot more creativity, though not writing per se. Writing is my favorite thing to do. I am a scientist at heart and I love cooking and baking and animals and fashion and home decor but I am most myself when I am writing. I’m usually thinking about writing, even when I’m not actively doing it. And I confess sometimes it is very strange he to be a Serious Adult with a Serious Job who is also running an internal monologue like “would uni-era Mulder thing vagina or cunt or pussy or some secret fourth thing?”
How does it end with Henry? She stays with him. Of course she stays.
Thank you, kind and sweet anon. You are a gem.
