About MBTI romantic compatibility

In this post I want to talk about my personal thoughts based on what I observe about MBTI romantic compatibility or romantic compatibility in general.

Because remember, MBTI isn't enough when looking for a partner; there can be:

Very different people of the same type

Similar people of very different types

It also depends on what similitarities and differences mean for you.

MBTI: COMPATIBLE, SIMILIAR, DIFFERENT

Think at colors: there are colours which matches armonically to you but maybe you still preferer a "very similar" colour that accompany you or "very different" one that make you natural color stands up

1) COMPATIBLE if you look for an armonical balance between your differences (dichotomies) and similarities (same primary function but inverted and same process thoughts of the other two functions)

E/I + P/J difference or also F/T or N/S depending on what is the primary function (change the other). F/T or N/S lead to apparently more differences but deeply same way to process some thoughts (exactly same middle cognitive functions)

Example: INTJ x ENFP or ENTP

Example: ISFP x ESFJ or ENFJ

2) SIMILIAR: same type or similiar in many things (but not having the same primary function and thinking process can still lead to a not so small difference): you prefer having more similitarities with your partner (e.g. both introverted)

Change just a letter (be conscious that usually the S/N difference alone could still lead to a strong difference)

Example: INTJ x INTJ or ENTJ or INFJ or INTP (or also ISTJ)

ABOUT changing only the last 2 dichotomies: it will lead to a more complex mix between similarities and differences, usually it can be great at times but can also lead to many misunderstandings, for this reason I see more friendships than romantic partners on these.

Example: INTJ x INFP

Example: ESTP x ESFJ

3) DIFFERENT: very different type or opposite type: you feel safe with a companion that can do the things you can't do.

Example: INTJ x ESFP, ESTP, ESTJ, ISFJ,...

Is it immature?

If all you look for is just a personality type yes, but if you consider many things among which a specifically personality type... no. People choose their partner based on physical appearance, interests, sympathy, familiarity, style of life... and choosing based on the way a person perceive and process reality that affect every part of their daily life is nothing but deep.

"BUT if you both are willing to make it work..."

I will be honest here on my opinion. We are not talking about getting along with colleagues or in family or something forced, but with romantic relationships. It's so natural to look for a "compatible" friendship, why not with romance? Friends can be many while a romantic partner is hopefully just one and for every day of our life; and every relationship is already difficult by itself without us making it more complicated. We will live and share everything with our partner, make decisions with them, see and talk to them everyday: for this reason I personally don't see why we can't be selective.

So... is MBTI compatibility important? Depends

My personal opinion is that compatibility in general is very important, but not each couple needs MBTI compatibility to work well.

Your perfect match depends on who you are and what you look for in a partner.

-> Some thoughts to consider for wishing to have MBTI compatibility or not:

If your MBTI type is a huge part of who you are and your mental process - choose YES

Passions, interests, character and other things have a huge impact of who or your partner are more than MBTI - choose NO

You are selective and look for deep understanding of who you are to feel completely gotten - choose YES

You get along easily with others and feeling get is not your primary need (or not by a partner), you enjoy and look for other things - choose NO

Your process thoughts deeply, analyse others and observe a lot - choose YES

You are in tune with the ambience more than focusing too deeply on the others, you are more practical and a doer - choose NO

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

Your answer can be different of the one of your partner. For example an INFJ chooses her ENFP for MBTI compatibility because she wants to have long conversations and feel mentally connected with him while ENFP chooses her for the way she treats him and prefers spending time doing some hobbies together. So their relationship's will won't match.

If you wish for MBTI compatibility:

I will repeat it another time: MBTI isn't enough! There are always other things that defines us as values, humour, interests, style of life, mentality. So your life partner will be one of the personalities you get along with: not all will work perfectly with you!

MBTI isn't a guarantee! There is no perfect balance and every couple needs work.

If you wish for other kind of compatibilities:

Still be conscious about your personalities! Sometimes feelings cover our differences and you are ok with how are some things now but maybe in the future you or your partner will look for other things.

Be aware! Not thinking about it doesn't remove their type and your similarities/differences, the best is knowing your MBTI types and still be sure it's the best for you! MBTI knowledge in any case could always help in your journey.

Some example of couples I know:

MBTI compatible couples:

ISFP x ENFJ: natural match and they also share the same way to see life - worked

ESFP x ISFJ: compatible but the mental disorders of one destroyed their relationships and also their interests didn't match - didn't work

Not MBTI compatible couples:

INFP x ISTJ: they have the same values of family and both looked for a companion that can do what they couldn't, and feel safe in the differences of the other - worked

INFP x ESTJ: they loved the differences because they made them feel safe, during life they realized they needed to feel understood by the other and suffered for the lack of similitarities - didn't work

FINAL THOUGHTS

Be careful and choose what is best for YOU depending on what you and your partner look for in a relationship. Because at the end knowing what you want in your love life and waiting until you find it is the most important thing! If you want read this last part by thinking at different characteristics other than MBTI.

Different partner: more work to to but they can help you with doing the things you can't do. Always looking for an opposite partner can be sometimes linked to low self esteem, or positively to a strong adaptation ability.

Similiar partner: less work to do but you will have the same limits and face the same problems. Always looking for a very similar partner can be sometimes a sign of immaturity, or positively of a sensitive trait.

I'll say it again:

I talked about MBTI compatibility but remember that MBTI doesn't describe us totally so choose wisely considering that person completely!

And work with your defects and mental disorders, with them every relationship is destined to fail or be unhealthy or toxic.

Maybe you are thinking "love is blind"... to our mind maybe yes, but unconsciously is linked to how we see ourselves deeply.

Feelings may last some time but having a partner hopefully will last a life.

I wish you all the best love life :)

With Thunder Comes Lightning

Summery: Peter and MJ tried again, but the spark wasn't there; they stay as friends to raise their soon-to-be daughter. Everything was going great until evil goop and a spooky vampire guy fall out of an orange portal. Little does Peter know that the biggest pain in his ass and future mutant best friend has landed right at his feet.

art by @Cyberdoods

Chapter 5 - Mutatis Mutandis

1407 Graymalkin Lane, Salem Centre, Westchester County, New York. He's never been on the property, but Peter knew where it was.

It's safer than their home.

He wouldn't be surprised if Professor X already knew they were coming.

Although Peter would've preferred grabbing what they needed and swinging to the mansion, it wasn't safe for MJ. He needed to protect her. He couldn't carry her and everything else at once. They agreed to use her car.

They also added car sickness to Miguel's lengthy list of medical inconveniences. The tablets MJ gave to keep him from throwing up had knocked the guy out completely.

"Don't blame yourself," MJ tried, but it didn't change the turmoil boiling inside of Peter. "What could you have done? Realistically?"

"More than what I did."

"You wouldn't kill someone, even if it's Manic Mike. He knew that."

Quite the nickname for the possessed vampire.

Peter should've tried, though. He could've done more. If he had killed Morbius, then Klyntarus wouldn't have a body.

In that scenario, however, since taking Miguel failed, he would've naturally gone for Peter. He would've deprived MJ of a co-parent and his child of their father. He didn't even know their name and almost lost the chance to see them.

All this happened because Peter didn't listen and wouldn't burn that sadistic bastard when he had the chance.

People were dying. Innocent civilians, his friends, and even his enemies were suffering.

"He said something down there. Klyntarus."

"What?" MJ inquired, worried.

Peter glanced at the rearview mirror. He felt a weight grow in his chest, recalling those harsh words, adding it to what he already knew.

It kept getting worse.

"Eugenics. He bred Miguel to be a compatible body."

"Fucking hell," MJ cringed, covering her eyes with disgust.

"I presume that's where the medical problems come from and why he was in a basement for so long. Thinking about it more, it was probably an underground lab."

"He's not going to stop, is he? Until he gets what he wants."

"Which is either asleep in our backseat or is in our trunk. Either way, it's bad."

"We're not letting him get either. That ugly bowling ball or Miguel. He's our friend. We don't leave people behind."

"No, we don't."

Peter looked at the rearview mirror again, taking a brief moment to analyse his passenger. It was difficult not to.

He couldn't understand why he couldn't sense Miguel but detected that feral version of him. It didn't make sense. How was he invisible but also not?

Even now, Peter couldn't detect he was there, even though Peter could see him. It was baffling.

MJ chuckled, but he didn't know why.

"What's funny? I got something on my face again?"

"You like each other."

"Of course, I like Miguel. And if he didn't like me, we wouldn't be buddies!"

"He's pretty, and you know it."

What did she mean by that?

Peter had to look again to see what she was talking about.

Miguel had cheekbones that could cut glass, eyes that smouldered like a raging fireplace and an impeccable body, but he didn't understand what she meant.

He's a nice-looking guy, but something about how she said it was so weird. Was it his voice? How those growls rumbled deep from his chest like oncoming thunder and the Spanish becoming little flashes of lightning?

The guy could read the menu from Taco Bell and make it alluring.

"Do you fancy him?" Peter inquired, confused but curious. "I can't tell you who not to like, of course. It's just... he's not from this universe. He'll have to go eventually."

Why did that fact feel sad? He should be happy that Miguel could go home.

Home. Where he was alone.

Wasn't being made by that abomination terrible enough? Nobody should endure such solitude. At least Peter had MJ; that's better than nothing at all.

Those scars, the ones that were far too clinical to be mere battle wounds. They originated from him, too, didn't they? More games by the evil sludge.

To know that you were bred solely to be the vehicle of a monstrous parasite must be horrifying. That parasite then killed your family, even your daughter, and won't stop tormenting you.

It honestly felt like Peter was continuing that torture. Thanks to him, his friend's abuser was still out there, wreaking havoc on other lives.

Why can't Peter do what's necessary? He felt so weak and helpless.

"No, Peter, I don't," MJ answered, though his confusion wasn't satisfied. "Be open is all I want to say. You've got a lot you want to talk about."

"I'm getting tired of talking."

"I know, babes. We'll figure something out."

She didn't sound so confident this time.

And Peter did want to talk, as much as it annoyed him. He wanted to hear it from Miguel, to understand his friend more and try to keep him from risking himself so much. While he didn't value his life, Peter did.

Was there anything for him to live for besides revenge? It didn't seem so.

When Uncle Ben died, Peter didn't rise as a hero without hiccups. He went after the man that took his father figure's life, and was responsible for his death, even if indirectly. It wouldn't be the first time he was tempted to break the rule of no killing.

So, so many times, Peter had wanted to end the problem. He was so scared of becoming like them, though, a villain that only hurt others.

Without Miles, Peter wasn't sure he would've kept going.

Could he do the same for Miguel? Try and start him on a journey of finding value in himself. It's unlikely, but he had to try. What Spiderman would he be if he didn't try?

Even if all of his trying appeared to end in catastrophic failure.

The mansion was magnificent and a little pretentious.

As it tended to explode once a year, Peter's very unconfident that it would last long. However, if MJ could rest easy, it could work.

And having superpowered people around your pregnant best friend made him feel a little better.

Peter felt like an idiot and knew seeing Logan after losing Matt and Luke would hurt. He couldn't imagine how he was feeling.

It would be fair to blame him, too.

"Don't be too hard on yourself," MJ said, but it didn't change how he felt inside.

"Yeah, Logan will do that for me."

"He might not."

"You know how close he was with Cage. I know he'll start a fight with Miguel, too. I'm secretly interested to see how that'd play out."

"I'd pay for tickets to see that. There's a two-foot height difference, too. It's like a chihuahua biting at a Great Dane."

"Chihuahua is the most accurate descriptor for Logan. For Miguel? I'd go more for Rottweiler. Capable of doing damage but a big softie inside."

"I know there's a Mexican version of a pit bull, but I forgot what it's called. Oh, Logan's Canadian; is there a tiny Canadian dog?"

"There is no dog more suitable for Logan than a Chihuahua. Only a Chihuahua with adamantium bones and lightsabres for knuckledusters."

That created a hilarious image in Peter's head.

He pulled the car into a visitors' parking space - heh, Parker the parker, that's funny.

MJ got out first, stretching her legs. Having a literal human growing inside of you must be so freaky.

After Peter got out, he went to the back, knocking on the roof.

An annoyed reddish brown eye peeked at Peter. He didn't know why he was so fixated on the colour or why Miguel's eye being only half open excited him.

She's not wrong. He's got a pretty face.

Rationally, Peter knew it was to protect his eyes from the sunlight. Sadly, those brilliant red eyes disappeared behind sunglasses.

"Wake up, big guy. We're here."

"I don't like cars."

MJ chuckled as she got the evil orb from their trunk.

"I know, pal."

"You've got leather seats."

"Uh, yeah. Why?" Miguel lifted his arm, showing a rash. "You're allergic to leather? Seriously?"

"That's not even the dumbest one."

"I'm almost scared to ask."

"Dermographia."

"No idea what that means."

"When most people touch me with their bare skin, I get a reaction - you can write on my skin."

"Cool and depressing. I'm glad I don't trigger that, bud."

"You don't trigger a lot of things for some reason."

He didn't know why he was pleased to hear that. Perhaps it's because Peter keeps fucking things up? That's probably why.

Peter took several steps back for the taller man to get out of the car, cracking his neck.

Seeing how in shape Miguel was made Peter feel terrible about his flabby body. If he worked out, he could look like that. What example would he be to his child if he was overweight?

How can Peter date somebody if his tummy passes the door before him?

He looks terrible, too. It's horrible that MJ had to deal with him for so long. Why did she even take him back? She's heavily pregnant and incredible.

"Mi primera universidad parece pretenciosa."

"I think I recognise university in that sentence - hey, I'm learning!"

"It looks like one of those creepy castles full of spooky shit."

"I can see it, actually," Peter agreed, pushing the gates open.

He didn't even realise there was a lock until it clattered on the pavement.

MJ sighed, picking it up. It wasn't rotten and rusted, thankfully.

She sneezed. Like always, it was loud, like a car horn. It always made Peter giggle, no matter the situation.

"Salud," Miguel stated. It's possibly the Spanish form of "bless you". "I'm only reminding you now that I was completely against this."

"It won't be that bad," MJ said, a little too optimistic. "Logan's nice!"

"There are undeniable laws in the multiverse. Lobezno siempre es una zorrita enfadada."

"You just insulted Logan, didn't you?"

"You are learning. There's hope for us yet."

Although Peter should feel insulted, it felt more playful than aggressive.

Slowly but surely, Peter is infecting this man with a sense of humour.

Several people stared at them as though they were out of place. He could feel them judging him, which was weird. There was a literal kid that looked like a bipedal ocelot, but somehow a pregnant redhead, overweight guy and giant Latino were odd.

Sure, because they're the weird ones.

He saw Storm and Cyclops outside of the main building, the obnoxious mansion.

Honestly, it's begging to get blown up.

Although Cyclops' eyes were obscured by his visor, Peter could feel the hostility radiating off the man. It was directed solely at Miguel, and Peter wouldn't allow that.

"Been a while," Peter said, trying to keep things peaceful. "We've got a lot to talk about. Is Xavier in?"

Of course, he was. Where else would he be? Smooching Magneto?

"A lot," Storm concurred, shaking her head. "Logan's not doing well. I don't think it was a good idea for you to come here now."

"Oh, right - I'll just call your receptionist. Stacy's lovely. I heard she's back from her honeymoon. She can schedule a visit after the universe has been eaten by evil snot," Peter huffed, annoyed. "Does that sound good to you?"

"Son tan útiles como un cactus en una tormenta de nieve. No malgastes tu aliento."

"You want to repeat that, hotshot?" Cyclops sneered, understanding Spanish.

Peter was a little jealous.

Sensing a rising tension, Peter put himself between Cyclops and Miguel, but the taller man only needed to lean over him.

"Eres un pony de un solo truco. Estaré encantado de enseñarte a hacerte el muerto."

"Big talk from an invader!"

"Muérdeme, colonizador."

"That's enough, both of you," came the deep English voice of Professor X, even balder than before. How was that possible? "There's been enough deaths these past few days. We don't need bloodshed on these grounds."

"No puedo prometer nada."

"You can and you will," Storm added.

Great, all of them can understand Spanish but him and MJ.

Miguel growled, irritated by the man's presence. Interestingly, Professor X realised something he wouldn't share. How rude.

With a wave, Xavier requested that they all follow him.

Of course, Cyclops had to sneer at Miguel, who only grinned back, showing his fangs.

The halls were fancy and a little over the top. It's dramatic for a barely legal school.

There were kids of all ages, from tweens to young adults.

A small quad of girls with a single boy was eating Taco Bell. It wasn't Peter's favourite, but it got him through some tough nights before meeting Miles.

Miguel made a slight growl, disgusted by it.

"What's the matter now, tough guy?" MJ questioned, slightly confused.

"Taco Bell isn't real Mexican food."

"And bacon sure ain't kosher, but it's so good," Peter shrugged, though he vaguely understood the point.

"Kosher is a beverage in my universe."

MJ passed the metal ball to Peter, shaking her hands off the evil device. He didn't blame her for not wanting to touch it.

"If Aunt May were alive, she'd be thrilled to hear that," he chuckled, thinking back to her.

Peter wasn't overly religious but was raised in a Jewish house. The traditions meant a lot to his aunt, uncle and father; it was important to them, and it felt like he got to be with them during Hanukkah and the other Jewish holidays.

It's sad knowing his child won't be able to meet them. They were great people. And unlike his egg donor, the baby will have a great mother.

Was that woman even alive? He wasn't sure, nor did he care. It wasn't like she ever cared about him, so why would he waste any precious time on her?

Mary was an awful person. How she got close enough to anybody, let alone his father, to make a child? He'll never know.

Hopefully, she was sad and alone, unable to harm other people.

As if detecting their leaders' seriousness, Rogue, Beast, and Logan quickly joined them. While Peter wanted to say something to his pal, he struggled to find the words.

How could he apologise for Luke and Matt's death?

It felt strange how they were too close, almost escorting them.

Professor X wheeled into a secure part of the building. It was like a freaky laboratory, and Peter didn't like being in there.

He didn't want Miguel in there, either. He'd spent too long in labs.

"There's a lot to discuss," Professor X said, facing them. "Storm, please take Miss Watson and get her comfortable. I'm sure she's tired."

"If anything happens to my boys, I'll find you," MJ promised, letting Storm place a hand on her back.

Peter didn't like the lab. It was too clean, too sterile. It had gadgets, gizmos and goobers everywhere.

He believed her, too. Even though she was pregnant, she was the last person to mess with.

"I take it you guys already know about the new villain," Peter said, hoping they'll help.

Miguel didn't feel the same way.

"The thing killed Matt and Cage!" Logan roared, tossing a metal table into a wall. "The fucking monster has been slaughtering people left and right, and we can barely keep up with it!"

"Cerebro detected him when he arrived. He's far worse than a mere "villain", and you know that," Professor X said sorrowfully. "I presume your compatriot is of the same origin?"

"Half right," Miguel stated. "He took over my universe some time ago. I made him run and have been tracking him for nearly three years. I got close to killing him this time."

Until Peter fucked it up.

"That's my fault," Peter said, a weight growing in his heart. "Miguel told me to burn what was left of him, but I didn't listen, and he recovered. So far, all we've been able to do is take this from him," Peter continued, placing the metal ball on a non-destroyed table.

"Without a compatible body, that is how he survives. He feeds off universes by destabilising them. He's so parasitic that he rots everything he interacts with, so he's not hard to follow," Miguel added, sounding angry. "He calls himself Klyntarus. Son of a bitch is so obsessed with his "species' superiority" that he named himself after his home world."

"Can't be that superior if the dang sludge needs some ping-pong ball to stay alive," Rogue commented, which was a fair observation.

"That's great, but how do we catch the fucker?" Cyclops asked, glaring at Miguel. "Sure, we can destroy this ball, but that won't stop him from taking bodies."

"If I repair this - we use it to travel between universes - I can call for backup. We've got technology designed to handle anomalies like him," Miguel stated, showing off his funky watch. "It'll be a pain, but I can make another - albeit smaller and weaker - Venom Burst bomb to harm him. It'll be easier to contain and eliminate him after that."

"How hard could that be? You're making a bomb. You already made a dimension hopper," Rogue questioned, confused.

"Because it's my venom. Do you know anything about venom milking? I can only make so much. I had to collect for months to get enough."

"I can make something to boost production," Beast said, but Peter didn't like hearing that. "An important question needs asking - how does Klyntarus destabilise a universe enough for him to consume it?"

"Currently, it's only a hypothesis, but it's the Canon Theory. For every Spiderman I've encountered, some criteria are met - if they're disturbed, the universe becomes unstable. Cause enough disturbance, and it breaks apart. He'll deliberately interfere with "canon events" to make it easier for him to flee or feed."

"Fantastic. How many times has he fought us?" Logan grumbled, irritated by Miguel's very existence.

"Every time he entered a universe with you in it. He's familiar with your abilities, even if you use them differently. You're not to engage him directly. You'll die or, worse, become a puppet, and he'll use your powers. It was bad enough when he got Professor X once. He killed every mutant on this planet with a thought."

Everything was stacked against them. That sludge was a threat they had never encountered before. He knew all of their abilities and then some. What could they do against such power?

They do everything that they can.

While Miguel continued elaborating on the situation, Peter felt like a piece of furniture, watching it all unfold.

In the pit of his stomach, something told Peter that he made a mistake.

Deadpool had a point when he said that Xavier looked like Mister Clean.

Peter wasn't sure what the wheelchair superbrain wanted and didn't want to know. He knew that it involved Klyntarus in one way or another.

If he wanted details about the monster, he would've spoken to Miguel. The Professor had been weird with his friend, which was unusual, even for the X-Men's head honcho.

"Do you know why I asked you to speak with me alone, Peter?" Charles asked, his accent thick and English. It sounded so fancy compared to Peter.

A funny thing about Spidey's sense is that it interfered with telepathy. Instead of a clear picture, mind readers received static and grainy images. It made Peter quite irritating to those attempting to read him.

Is why Klyntarus hasn't tried taking Peter over? Or it's to hurt him until he's satisfied. Either way, he wasn't sure he wanted the answer.

Whatever Klyntarus wanted, he couldn't get. No matter the cost.

"My amazing improv."

"It's certainly a bonus, but I'm afraid not. I want to speak with you about your "friend"."

"I don't like how you put that in quotes."

"My apologies. I wasn't certain how close you were, despite him not even being here a week."

It didn't feel that short.

"Haven't you read him?" Peter questioned, awkwardly sitting on the chair across from the Professor. "You're super talented with that stuff."

"In a peculiar way, your friend is telepathic. He has an intriguing mental ability that negates detection or being accessed entirely. He is invisible to Cerebro, me and Jean. I suspect your "Spidey sense" cannot detect him, either."

An invisibility cloak, but mentally. That's a fascinating concept. It's why Magneto and Juggernaut wear those stupid helmets.

It explains why Peter couldn't feel his friend. It is also why Klyntarus can't track him down so easily.

Unfortunately, this felt like a deliberate ability. Why would Klyntarus have a host when a telepath such as Xavier can free them from the mental shackles of Symbiote possession?

It's like everything was deliberate, and even still, Miguel used those powers against the one that gave them to him.

What was the purpose of his venom? The claws? The heightened senses? Why did he have so many medical problems?

Using his brain - horrifying - there was a possible reason.

Klyntarus made it so that Miguel was in pain without him. A horrific and disgusting possibility, but given how the Symbiote operated, it was likely. If Peter was a mega-evil pile of sentient snot, he might've done something similar.

Peter already respected his fellow spider, but to still refuse the Symbiote despite that only engorged that respect. It swelled like the feeling in his chest whenever he saw those eyes.

That posed another issue, however.

"I can't feel him at all - like a weird black spot - but the other day, Klyntarus triggered something. It was angry and feral, and he wasn't in control. I felt that. How can I feel that but not him?"

"Though I cannot read Miguel, I have felt what you're speaking of," Xavier said, confusing him. "It's quite evident that Klyntarus used his DNA in creating his "perfect host". That would make him part Symbiote."

Fuck. That made too much sense.

"And even the smallest part of a Symbiote is sentient," Peter sighed, pinching the bridge of his wonky nose. "It didn't behave like a Symbiote, though. It was so wild and, well, not in control."

"The piece within Miguel isn't conscious - it isn't alive, strictly speaking. It doesn't comprehend friend or foe, only threats to Miguel, which it doesn't distinguish itself from. You have been deemed not a threat."

When Miguel questioned how he didn't hurt Peter, that's what he meant. This freaky mode attacked everybody, following only instinct and the need to survive. In a way, that was the most terrifying of foes.

For whatever reason, it decided that Peter wasn't a threat.

Weirdly, it felt like a compliment.

"Why're you talking to me about this? Why not talk to Miguel about it?"

"There is a lot at stake, Peter. Many lives will be lost if we don't defeat this enemy. To trap this thing, we need... bait."

"No," Peter stated firmly, scowling. "You're not going to use Miguel as bait for that thing. Nobody is going to be bait."

"We use Miguel or the unnamed sphere. At least Miguel is capable of refusing Klyntarus."

"That's a shit plan. You don't trap something like that. You've got to burn him until there's nothing left."

"Peter, I understand that you've lost your friends to this entity-"

"He wants to hurt my best friend and my unborn baby! Now you want to take the primary victim of an abusive monster and dangle him like a carrot for a donkey! Doesn't that sound fucked up?"

"So does the death and destruction of an entire universe. Not only ours but many more afterwards. It's better than Logan's suggestion."

Peter didn't need to hear it. He already knew what Logan would've suggested.

"I'm not allowing that."

"I won't lie to you, Peter; it's not something I take lightly. You're a smart man. You've thought of it."

"No, actually, I haven't. I'm not a damn lunatic!" Peter shouted, standing in anger, the chair falling behind him. "You don't kill somebody for being the victim!"

"What suggestions do you have, then, Peter? We're empty of ideas. We've never faced something like this - it's a graver threat than anything ever known."

"That doesn't give you a get-out-of-jail-free card. I'm not surprised by Logan, but you, the smart one? I'm disappointed. You're supposed to help, not make things worse!"

"Worse for who, Peter? Because I know you aren't referring to us or even your unborn child," Xavier sighed, looking sorrowful.

"We'll make a different plan without using Miguel as bait or fucking killing him like damn cowards. It doesn't even make sense to think of that!"

"People can only take so much. If we don't defeat him, it's only a matter of time before Klyntarus succeeds."

"If there's one absolute certainty about spiders, we never give up, even when we're at our breaking point and desperately want to," Peter growled, hitting his hand on the desk, reducing it to splinters. "We're making a different plan, Professor, and that's the end, understand?"

Peter left the room, refusing to say more.

He went to the X-Men for help. They're supposed to help. He's not surprised by Logan, but Xavier? He's disappointed and disgusted.

They weren't helping. At best, they can keep MJ safe.

Peter won't sit idly by as someone tries to abuse somebody else. He keeps messing stuff up, but he's still going to try. He knew Miles would be heartbroken if Peter ever gave up, no matter how badly he wanted to.

He and Miguel can figure something out alone.

The man paused and glared at an open hallway, and Logan merely shrugged.

"I know you've got problems with it, Pete, but I doubt Taco Bell hater does."

"And you don't see an issue with that?"

"Of course. Look, I get that you like the guy - fuck knows why, he's an asshole - but we make sacrifices to save others. This isn't a loser with nothing better to do, Peter. That thing wants to down us like I do beer, and I'm a damn alcoholic."

"There are sacrifices, and then there's just plain wrong."

"You're feeling guilty. Personally? I believe you should, but logically? Not as much. How could you know the snot was an interdimensional super dickhead?"

He couldn't, and Peter knew that. It didn't matter, though. His Spidey senses were explicit and had never failed him before.

He didn't listen, and everyone was paying the price for it.

Peter still wasn't listening; Miguel didn't want them to go to the X-Men, and he was right not to.

Did he know what Logan suggested?

Did he know what Xavier wanted to do?

The worst part was that Miguel would go through with it.

Anything if it meant destroying the damned creature that created him in the first place.

Peter's not going to allow that.

Why didn't he listen?

Special thanks to spider-the-bat for the borders!

Well, it's not like I make characters for Sims now...

My blog about video games in general, when The Sims is only small part of my hobby. At the moment this blog has near 60 followers, most of whom are Sims players. But I'm grateful to all of you, regardless of whether you came because of a meme post about MG, analyses of Vampyr or to download something for Sims. I hope my works inspire you, make you think or laugh, you find them useful or just pretty, worth to share or just to catch cringe (I do not exclude anything from the above).

So with this post I want to make little Bingo~

I really adore Leon from the original Resident Evil 4 among all other versions of his character. Actually that's why I wrote Biohazard instead of RE.

His character came a long way during development of RE4, originally known in Japan as Biohazard. In some places, the vision of the plot by the developers and the changes were so striking that later the project was divided into 2 parts. One turned into the Resident Evil 4 we know today. The other is on Devil May Cry.

His character clearly demonstrates how our perception of certain things changes over time. Leon of the early 2000s is a kind of nihilist. He mocks difficulties and does not care about his traumatized past, unless it concerns Ada - his real weak point, in communication with whom he loses all his Casanova charm.

His masculinity, expressed in character and physical form, is interspersed with delicate facial features and the luster of porcelain skin, which hint at something of the bishōnen aesthetic.

Today, this stylization, once caused by the limited capabilities of the game engine, has completely disappeared. The actor and his face in front of the game design came first. The ideal hero has turned into a person with a lively character and all the problems from the past.

But what really surprises me is that he has been wearing the same hairstyle for 40 years.

I hate it when bangs get in my eyes. Leon has iron patience.

About Sim

Sim is base game compatible. The vast majority of custom content are face sliders. I don't know if sim would look the same without them, but I've included all the ones I used, so you can install them as you see fit. What you definitely need is an eyes preset. Body preset at your discretion. The rest of CC are genetics and cosmetics (20 positions in general).

Without genetics on right (I use eyes replacement).

Yuno and Ketsueki-gata

(character analysis, relationships and short vampire parallels)

In the first voice drama, when Es asks Yuno some information about her, she starts telling many details, that, at first sight, seem to be a scene of amusement, to highlight Yuno's bubbly facade.

"Es: Milgram exists to reveal the crimes of you, prisoners, and to hand down the appropriate judgement. For that reason, talk to me for a bit.

Yuno: Okay! Let’s chat. Let’s chat!

Es: First—

Yuno: Firstly, I should introduce myself or something, right? Yuno Kashiki. Eighteen years old. I’m a high schooler. Born on the 2nd of September, I’m a Virgo. My blood type’s O."

Stating your name, age and current occupation, even the zodiac sign seem quite appropriate when somebody asks you to describe yourself. However, what stuck to me was the blood type. Why something that is used for medical purposes, it's so important that Yuno decided to say it when she talked about herself?

Well, in Japan, many people believe the blood type reveals your personality and relationship compatibility. This is known as Ketsueki-gata and, despite not being scientifically proven, it's used a lot in Japan!

Blood type O - Yuno's personality

"Type O people have been linked to characteristics such as confidence, determination, resilience, and intuition, but they are also supposedly self-centered and unpredictable."

Although, Ketsueki-gata it's not really proven, I think it describes very well Yuno's personality!

Confidence - Yuno feels sure on herself and her thinking, as proven many times. When stating her opinion about Milgram to Es, she calmly explains her reasoning, linking with her dislike for people who judge their peers for not going with the flow, doing things different.

People who intrude in other people's affairs generally do that, because they lack something, out of jealousy. Their low self-esteem needs to be fueled somehow and seeing individuals who have it better, provokes them into commenting and insulting, trying to make others feel bad as well.

Yuno, disliking these type of people, means that she is quietly proud of what she can do and achieve. If she lacks something, she will try to find it and have it (the warmth), without intruding in other people's business or displaying jealousy.

Determination - when Yuno realized that she is being perceived as an innocent and weak girl, it made her upset and disappointed. She never tried to convince Es that they shouldn’t consider her guilty, but when her personality was at stake, Yuno had to take action. Her second MV and VD explain very well her views about how she is considered to be, showcasing her determination to change our opinions.

"Yuno: That’s true. [stretch] Even if I was scorned by you, I would have been okay with being told I wasn’t forgiven. I don’t believe I’m not in the wrong. I’d accept it.

Es: …

Yuno: Despite that, you arbitrarily assumed things about me and sympathized with me. Even though all I did was make a rational decision of my own free will."

Teardrop:

"Caressing me with your “Good girl”

Who needs your self-righteous pardon?"

Resilience - "the capacity to withstand or to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness."

I think we don't give enough credit for how Yuno can keep to be so calm, considering the circumstances. Milgram is a magical prison with lots of weird stuff happening, the biggest concern being the unknown and the mysterious atmosphere this location has. Despite that, from the moment she arrived here, Yuno has never expressed her fears and concerns. She started to analyse every person in the facility, making assumptions of what might happen or what is currently happening.

If in the first trial, Yuno kept her bubbly facade, not only to get along with everyone, but also, because she felt genuinely happy being around them, in the second trial, her intentions has changed. She no longer finds Milgram a promising place to find warmth, trying her hardest to find solutions to escape from it, to go home.

Yuno observing the personalities of the other prisoners:

"Yuno: Hm? I won’t particularly change. Ah, I see, because Haruka changed a lot, right? Ah, men sure do change when they’re with women."

"Yuno: Really? If you ask me, Kotoko is someone I would never want to make my friend, though. She’s the type who picks a conclusion from the very beginning and won’t actually talk with you."

Yuno's assumption of her existence in Milgram prison:

The fact that Yuno questions it, shows that she thought hard about her existence in prison.

Even thought she isn't given an answer, Yuno still manages to find a new information. The fact that Es doesn't know either.

Her response is actually very interesting...

"Hm... If you don't know, then It's fine."

Although, it would have been easier if Es answered her question, Yuno will continue to find information that might prove her assumption. This dialogue feels like Yuno is saying: "It's fine if you don't know, I will continue to search the answer anyway."

Currently, we don't know whether Yuno managed to improve her knowledge about Milgram prison, but I think in trial 3 she will be very interesting! She is a character that adapts very quickly and is capable to stay calm even in the most stressful situations!

Going back to the topic, since I mentioned Yuno's belief that she might not be alive and because we are talking about blood type personality, I think now it's the best time to introduce the vampire parallels! (then I will continue my character analysis!)

"Vampire: a dead person who comes back to life and sucks blood from other people at night"

Yuno who thinks she's dead, came back to life in Milgram. When thinking about her question and her cover song, it really feels like she perceives herself as a vampire. Died and revived in prison, spent her life to find and feed on heat (a parallel for how vampires need blood to survive, while Yuno needs warmth) to warm her cold soul and body.

Her soul -> when she talks with the people she finds interesting/considers her friends; it makes her happy, basically gives her warmth in her heart. Yuno describes how she liked the atmosphere in prison at the beginning of the first trial:

"Yuno: Yes, it was fun! They may be murderers, but they’re interesting people! It puts me at ease, in a way, that we’re all people lacking in something."

Her body -> when she was embraced by the people she worked for, Yuno felt a temporary warmth that made her, for a short while, cheerful.

Moreover, I think it's really interesting that Yuno is the only prisoner who asks for an extra blanket. Having no one to embrace her or hug her leads to Yuno asking for an item that might provide more warmth!

Is there anything you would like to request for?

("Vampires in fiction are almost always colder than they were before they turned. This most likely originates from the fact that vampires are essentially living corpses, or it may be due to evil being cold.")

Also, Yuno gets more warmth at night, the same as how vampires are more active during that time of the day!

Intuition - Yuno uses it a lot during interactions, both in Milgram, but also in her compensated dating. For Yuno to understand quickly the person in front of her, she can't spend time using her logical thinking to analyse their personality. It would take too much time, and it wouldn't be very useful. Yuno senses the vibe that person gives and tries to match them in order to be of their liking.

How do you choose what casual clothes to wear?

Intuition comes from learned experience. Yuno has a lot of knowledge when it comes to how people act and react, depending on the circumstances.

In Milgram, the biggest victim of Yuno's intuition is, funnily enough, Kazui! Every lie and reason behind it doesn't get unnoticed by Yuno!

(1)

"Yuno: Uh-huh, I see, I see…that’s a total lie, right?

Kazui: Haha…Give me a break here. You sure don’t make things easy for people, Kashiki-chan."

(2)

"Yuno: Haha, we both lie, don't we? The difference is the reason for lying. Kazui-san, you lie to protect yourself, because you're important to yourself. For me, no one is particularly important. That includes myself as well."

Self-centered - A person can be self-centered when it comes to work or a field, but the most generous person you have ever seen with the right people. Yuno is both caring and selfish. She cares about Mahiru and constantly helps Shidou into healing her. When it comes to Muu, though, she acts cold. In her birthday timeline post from last year, Yuno tells Muu to celebrate herself, not wanting to bother with her special day, despite being available during that time.

"Mu: Boo, how boring. You seem to be free, you can celebrate for me. Go on, celebrate.

Yuno: Wow, what a pain. I’m reading the atmosphere properly and keeping quiet. Well, you just go and have fun with Haruka. In the corner somewhere so you’re out of everyone’s way."

Moreover, during her VD, she tries her best to make us understand that the reason why she decided to participate in compensated dating is not because of a sad backstory, but for her own selfish needs.

And remember, self-centered is not always a bad trait! It can also mean to be independent and not care about the others' opinions, which, sometimes can be a good thing! Yuno doesn't care about what vote she has, because, at the end of day, it will not change her!

Unpredictable - Yuno, most of the time, is adjusting her personality based on who she is with! In the first VD, she is analysing Es and changes the way she speaks in order to be of their liking!

At first, she is childish and tries to play with Es, who she knows they are younger. When she realizes that Es is actually very mature for their age, Yuno starts to talk about more complicated topics, seeing that the prison guard will be more engaged into their discussion, if they are treated seriously.

Because of Yuno's habit to change her personality, she may come as unpredictable, being hard to read. In the second VD, she speaks with a playful voice for the most part. However, once she tells how the votes given by Es made everything worse and more complicated, she snaps.

Leaving Es speechless...

Relationships

Going to the next section (finally), the relationship between people with blood type O and other blood types!

People of O blood type match well with those with A and B blood type (in most cases, of course!)

Mahiru has blood type B and we know, based on the interactions, that Yuno and her are very good friends at the moment!

Also, Kazui, who has blood type A, is a good match when it comes to personality with Yuno. They both lie, the difference being the reason they are doing it.

However, something really interesting is how for two characters that share the same blood type A, Muu and Kotoko, Yuno expresses a particular dislike to them.

"Type O people are said to especially appear selfish to individuals with Type A blood."

Right now, we don't have information of how Kotoko perceives Yuno. However, we do know that Muu's dislike towards Yuno is mutual, as stated in the interrogation question. The fact that she started to act cold, for her, Yuno may appear more selfish, especially after what she said during her birthday.

Is there a prisoner you aren't fond of?

Dating

Why have I brought up the relationships part? Simple! In Japan, Ketsueki-gata is used in order to find the compatibility of two partners at the early stages of dating!

Considering that Yuno participated in compensated dating, she is very used to this kind of question! That’s why when she first presented herself to Es, Yuno told her blood type: out of habit and to show what kind of person she is!

Ending this with a short interpretation!

Type O can be transfused to any other blood type (A, B, AB). However, patients with blood type O can only receive blood transfusions from other people with blood type O. In a way, it feels like they help themselves, because they can't receive from any other blood type.

I think this highlights Yuno's loneliness and lack of warm. She gives warmth to other people, cares for them (the clients, her friends, Mahiru), but doesn't feel like she receives back the amount of attention and consideration she needs. In Teardrop, the high school Yuno is taking care of cat Yuno, there is no one else beside her. She only has herself to protect her cold and lonely self...

I hope I managed to give a proper and interesting analysis for Yuno's blood type! Considering that this is the month when Halloween is celebrated, I wanted to make something for Yuno that might fit a little in the spooky vibe! Vampires and blood type felt like the best option!

Thank you for reading!

Hey Cynthia! This is kind of an ask but mainly a rant because I find this INCREDIBLY annoying, because it's clear these people don't understand the story AT ALL.

I don't think all KogKag shippers are annoying, but I'm surprised that there are so many fans who say that Kagome should've ended up with Koga because Inuyasha was aLWaYS going after Kikyo or that Koga would've TrEAtED her better. I feel like people who say this are just self-inserting onto Kagome. Reason number one: KogKag has little to no substance in canon, with her just humoring him every time he flirts with her. Number two: if they were paying attention, they would know WHY and WHEN Inuyasha went after Kikyo and that for him, there was only Kagome.

TLDR; Do you think people who say "Kagome should've chosen Koga because Inuyasha bad" are self-inserting? I know the anime changes are a huge factor, is that why people say this? I like your analyses so I'd like to know what you think.

Hello! First of all thank you for the love 🥺

(I know I have mutuals & followers who love Koga & Kogkag so warning: this post is very critical of both!)

I’m going to start off by saying “self-inserting” exists in a lot of ships. There’s plenty of people who love Inuyasha and self-insert into Kagome with inukag. That’s not something I have a big issue with, we all have our favorite characters and there’s nothing wrong with self-indulgence. But if we analyze the canon story, I think you definitely need make Kagome OOC in order to ship her Koga. I mean, if canon!Kagome had any interest in him she wouldn't have wasted her time with Inuyasha, lol. I've said this before but the main reason why Kagome loves Inuyasha and not men like Koga and Sesshomaru is because Inuyasha has a good heart. He might have a harsh personality (that he is improving) due to his past trauma but he has never killed & eaten innocent people the way the other two did.

Also, the racism. Kagome's defining personality trait is that she is open and welcoming with everyone. Why would she date Koga who calls people slurs unprovoked? Why would she date Sesshomaru who bullied his half-brother for being mixed? Sure these two somewhat improved their behavior over the course of the series but 1- There's no indication that Koga and his wolves changed their diet. Koga never showed any remorse for his actions and never said he wouldn't do it again. 2- Sesshomaru tolerates/respects a few people by the end of the series but he very much still sees human life as expendable (see his “Who cares?” line when he hears his action could kill everyone in Kaede’s village). That is simply not compatible with Kagome Higurashi.

The second anon brought up some good points about the misogyny in the fandom, and how male characters like Koga are praised while Kikyo is villainized for less. I constantly see Koga fans criticizing Inuyasha for “being nice to Kikyo despite what she’s done to Kagome” yet these people seemingly have no problems with Kagome being nice to Koga despite what he has done to Inuyasha. I think both Koga and Kikyo have poorly written “redemption arcs”, I think the inukag fandom just talk more about Kikyo/Inukik because Inuyasha did have feelings for Kikyo while Kagome never had any for Koga, so usually it isn’t worth talking about.

As for Koga being "nicer" to her, I think a lot of it is definitely anime-only. There's that one filler episode where Inuyasha insults Kagome and Koga brings her flowers later (if I remember correctly) which is obviously meant to make Koga look like the better choice. I’ve talked about this a LOT on my blog but Sunrise went out of their way to make sure Inuyasha would almost never be kind and honest with Kagome compared to the manga, and they added a bunch of scenes where he insults her. Honestly with all the things that Sunrise changed I don’t blame anime-only fans for having issues with anime!inukag. Kagome has self-esteem issues because of Inuyasha’s ex (who is her pre-incarnation) and on top of that the boy she loves insults her himself? I know a lot of inukag shippers just see it as a joke, but since Kagome’s self-worth is a real issue in the series I don’t find it particularly funny. But if we’re focusing on the manga, Inuyasha is not mean to her, he’s only rude when he’s angry (calls her ‘bakaa’ or uses ‘temee’).

Also, what does Koga even do for Kagome beyond giving her superficial compliments? He saved her a few times, which is what Inuyasha does on a daily basis. Koga said Kagome is “pretty” and “has guts”, which in my opinion pales in comparison to what Inuyasha said about Kagome:

Inuyasha genuinely KNOWS Kagome. She’s his friend. He spends all his time with her. He has seen the best and worst of her. Koga is just a guy who tries to woo her when he bumps into her once in a while. Inuyasha doesn’t compliment her all the time to score points, he says these things when he can tell Kagome is feeling down and truly needs to hear it.

Koga really is just putting on a front to look good in front of Kagome. The things he says to her are not necessarily true, as Ginta and Hakkaku point out.

If he did manage to win over Kagome, who’s to say he would keep up this act? Would they work out in a long-term relationship? What does Koga and Kagome have in common? Like I said, he barely knows Kagome. Unlike Inuyasha, who share Kagome’s values, and share a group of friends with her. Inuyasha knows Kagome’s world, her modern friends and her family (and they love him!). Inuyasha has a demon slaying business with Miroku and lives in a human village where Kagome can thrive as a miko. Koga rarely shows respect for what Kagome wants (he claimed her as his mate and spent the entire series touching her & calling her his “mutual lover” without her consent). Even when Kagome was crying in Inuyasha’s arms after he almost died, Koga still said he “refused to give up on her”. Like the second anon said, the guy really just can’t take a hint (until the very end), and as someone who dealt with men like this in real life I think it’s a pretty big red flag.

Inuyasha literally said he owes everything he has in his life to Kagome. That he was born for her. He continuously chose to live with her instead of dying with Kikyo, risked his life to protect her by giving her the fire rat robe, ditched Tessaiga to save her, jumped into the well every 3 days ready to abandon his world for her. The fact that some people think he’s not the biggest Kagome simp out there and think he’s not “worthy” of Kagome is insane to me.

Inuyasha learned to give Kagome space when she needs to be alone so she can study. He respects her desire to finish school, respects the fact that she loves her world and didn’t pressure her to choose him over it.

Also people argue that Koga’s redeeming quality is that he cares about his pack and getting revenge for the ones that Naraku killed. Well, funny how he completely gave up on that once he lost his shikon jewel shards uh? Koga is a FULL yokai and he abandoned his vow to avenge his friends as soon as he lost his power boost, meanwhile my boy Inuyasha stays true to his promise to protect Kagome even in his WEAKEST form!

Rip to Koga but Inuyasha is simply built different 🤷‍♀️

Anyway, the last point is Inuyasha and his feelings for Kikyo. At this point I’m convinced some people watched/read a completely different series than I did. I mean, the other day I saw a Tik Tok that was like “When Inuyasha runs off to kiss Kikyo for the 100th time” like... what? Inuyasha initiated like 3 romantic interactions with Kikyo in the entire time he has known her. One hug when she was first revived to calm her down, one hug when he told her she could call him when she’s in danger, and the final kiss goodbye to put her soul at peace. Inuyasha is NOT a “two-timer” who “keeps going back to his ex”. He’s a 15 years old boy whose first love got brutally murdered, he started to move on and fall in love with someone else then his “ex” was revived as a vengeful revenant and guilt tripped him into thinking he should die with her. He cares for her and refused to let her get killed by her murderer again, but his real desire was to LIVE and move on and be with KAGOME. At this point anyone who doesn’t understand that probably doesn’t have the emotional maturity to understand the story. I’m not saying that Inuyasha handled the situation perfectly, because of course not, the situation is insane and the boy has no social skills from being ostracized his whole life, but the way some people think he’s a bad person for loving more than one person in his life is insane to me. And you know what sucks? Inuyasha can’t win. If he didn’t care about what happens to Kikyo because he has a new girlfriend, people would call him heartless and would criticize him for treating women like objects that can easily be replaced. And that is one of the main reasons why comparing Inuyasha to other men like Koga, Sesshomaru or even Hojo annoys me a lot: Inuyasha did NOT choose to be in the situation he’s in. He did not intend to be with both at the same time (the anime line “why can’t have a both” is NOT canon).

I think one other issue is people projecting their personal romantic fantasies on the situation. So many people dream of being someone’s “one and only”, of having their partner tell them that they’ve “never felt like this before”, and the fact that Kagome is not the only women Inuyasha ever loved somehow makes his feelings for her less “pure” or less “intense” to them. Which never made any sense to me because 1- Why would you be less “pure” for loving many people in your life? The fact that Inuyasha fell in love & stayed with Kagome despite the fact that his “ex” was revived and wanted him should actually be proof of how much he loves Kagome 2- Kagome IS Inuyasha’s “first” in SO many ways! The first person to make him happy, the first to cry for him and to make him cry, the first to give him a home, the first person he will be intimate with, the first (and only) person he MARRIES. His past feelings for Kikyo does not take away from that. I think the worst is when people argue that Inuyasha “still thinks about Kikyo after her death” like yeah, he’s still fighting Kikyo’s murderer until the last chapter/episode and his guilt got progressively worse as he repeatedly failed to protect Kikyo, remembering her does not mean he’s still in love with her. He can’t exactly wipe out his memories. Some people even argue that he ”shows sign that he loves her” in the bonus epilogue chapter?? Never mind the fact that the epilogue chapter just kind of sucks, Inuyasha didn’t have any reaction when Kikyo was mentioned, he said he didn’t care and he was only worried that Kikyo being mentioned would hurt Kagome’s feelings.

When both Kagome and Kikyo were gone from his life, who did he miss? Did he go to Kikyo’s grave every 3 days wishing she hadn’t died? Did Inuyasha ever think about using the shikon jewel or Tenseiga to bring her back properly so he could be with her? No he never did, because Kagome is the one he was born for and the one he wanted to spend his life with, not Kikyo.

Tl;dr: From what I’ve seen the popularity of kogkag seems to be from people who just like Koga better than Inuyasha and are willing to ignore (or they don’t remember) all the atrocities he committed because they find him hotter and more “charming”, which is fine to me until people actually claim that Kagome should have been with Koga in canon. People who say that are usually just mad about the love triangle because 1- they only watched the anime and haven’t read the manga (and they also misremember the anime) 2- they idealize this idea of being someone’s “first and only love” and they think Inuyasha’s feelings for Kikyo “tarnish” that and 3- they usually lack the emotional maturity to understand the situation Inuyasha was forced in and don’t realize that Inuyasha did the best he could. Inuyasha is a hanyo who was alone all his life and is just starting to open up and trust others while Koga is a full yokai who never had to struggle in his life, and despite that Inuyasha consistently proved that he is a better person. Just because Koga is loud and straight forward with his advances doesn’t make him more loving than Inuyasha, who actually knows Kagome and is romantic and kind to her when it matters the most.

#ask #Anon #koga-critical #kogkag-critical #wow that sure is an essay lmao #sesshomaru-critical #sesskag-critical #i didn't know i had so many things to say about the topic lmao #i don't even hate koga or kogkag but when shippers have to drag inukag/kagome/inuyasha to talk about their faves...#it definitely makes me bitter #especially when what they say is just so incredibly wrong

Do Re Mi | Billy Hargrove

- Stranger Things

- x Reader (Y/N)

❪ FEM! ❫ ❪ official song: Do Re Mi by Blackbear❫

───── ❝ description + disclaimer ❞ ─────

𖥻 song lyrics: https://genius.com/Blackbear-do-re-mi-lyrics

𖥻 established relationship. father figure included. cheating boyfriend. fluff?. blood mention. rushed story.

───── ❝ ❞ ─────

The forest around Lover’s Lake was quiet. The only thing that could be heard was the rustling of the wind in the trees and the gentle splashing noises Billy made as he swam.

Billy got out of the water a few minutes later, dressed himself and came towards me, copying my position as his body fell limp on the grass beside where I lay, looking up at the sky as it changed colours in silence.

Billy sighed, breaking the silence. “Y/N?”

"Mm?" I responded, trying to slow my breathing and relax. My heart raced a little faster when he called my name, it always did.

I saw Billy from my peripheral vision, he turned so he easy laying on his side looking at me. Wet hair clinging to his forehead.

To everyone else, it must have looked like a normal average day couple that were

To everyone else, we must have looked like the least compatible pairing, but we were more or less your average everyday couple. We fought sometimes but always loved one another.

I turned on my side to face him, lifting my hand to plucking little twigs and pieces of grass from his hair as he stared at me with the most gorgeous blue eyes I had ever seen.

"Yes?" I repeated when Billy didn't respond.

It was a couple of seconds before he said anything, just watching my hand as I took things out of his hair.

"What's your opinion on it?" He questioned

"What?" I asked, confused.

"You know, when you said being in love depends on how the person looks at it. What does that mean?"

I blinked, confused by his random start in conversation and shook my head.

Nevertheless, I thought of an answer.

"Well, because everyone sees it differently. You can love someone and you can be in love with someone, to me they’re two very different things”

“How so?” Billy asked and I moved my hands back to myself

“It’s like… I love Risky Business but i would never say I was in love with it, it’s just a movie it’s not as though I can feel charged and euphoric around it. Everything should feel exciting and new with someone you’re in love with, and get that feeling where you can’t wait to see them again— even when they’ve just left.” I sigh again, pausing to let Billy process my words “You can’t feel those for Risky Business”

Billy looked up at the sky. He looked in deep thought. Almost as he was analysing every word of what I've said.

“I get it” He said, a small smile appearing on his face.

“You do?”

“I love basketball” He turned back to look at me again and it felt like all the air had been sucked out of my lungs, his intense gaze going between my lips and eyes quickly “But i’m in love with you”

Did I love Billy? We’d been together for a few months and, although his reputation proceeded him, he was very different when you got to know him. He hasn’t been hanging around other girls since our first date, he hadn’t even looked at them in the hallways.

Billy was the kind of guy that picked me up for school in the morning and insisted on driving me home, he’d look at me when he shot a goal in his basketball games and would do anything to be close enough that you could practically hear my heartbeat.

“I’m in love with you, too” I muttered, Billy took a sharp breath before leaning in. His lips pressed against mine and his hands snaking his way around my waist so he could pull me closer to him.

In that kiss was the sweetness of passion, a million loving thoughts condensed into a single moment.

───── ❝ ❞ ─────

"Your house!" Billy said triumphantly, pulling to a stop on the street in front of my house.

"Shut up." I muttered, trying to hide my smile as I unbuckled my seatbelt.

Billy sighed, getting out of the car. "The least you could do is thank me." He said, grinning as he jogged to where I was standing by the doorstep.

"Thank you." I said genuinely, proceeding to unlock the door with my keys. Billy stuck an arm in my way, pouting at me.

"That's no way to thank someone." He said.

I rolled my eyes. ‘Thank you’ was exactly the way to thank someone, but he wanted more than that. "And how would you prefer I thank you."

Billy’s pout turned into a wicked smirk, and I didn’t even want to picture what he was imagining right now.

"Yeah, I'm not doing that." I said, a blank expression on my face.

"Come on.” He almost pleaded, and I just shook my head ‘No.’ “How about just a kiss, what do you have to lose?" He questioned, coming closer.

There was nothing to lose, I had told him I loved him less than an hour ago after skinny dipping at a lake. But I just didn't want to feed his ego by kissing him.

Sighing, I wrapped my arms around his neck, Billy resprecased the loving touch by putting his arms around my waist. I ducked to the side, kissing his cheek quickly and. pulling back.

I looked to his eyes which had widened a little from my actions. “A real kiss, Y/N”

I gave in since I did want to kiss him. We were both just lost in each other and I connect my lips with his. A kiss steeped in a passion.

“Excuse me” I heard, startled I pulled away from Billy and we turned abruptly to the source, my mouth opening in shock.

"Dad?" I said, surprised. He wasn’t supposed to be here. He was meant to be on a business trip in Indianapolis. What he was doing home, I had no idea.

He never came home earlier than planned and the one time he decided to be with his family he had chosen to come to the door while I was stood outside, kissing the boyfriend he had no clue I had. The boyfriend who’s entire disposition practically screams 'player'.

The man, who was looking at Billy skeptically– perhaps disapprovingly, finally turned to me. "My sweet girl" He exclaimed, stretching his arms out for a hug.

I cautiously took my arms off Billy, feeling his resistance to letting go of me, having to give him a reassuring look before he allowed me to fully move away from him.

My dad hugged me tight, as if expressing he had cared for me without words. I missed him, but I would have preferred if he had called or just arrived home a few minutes later.

Dad grinned, pulling back. “I missed you” I smiled in response, but that soon dropped when I saw my dad eyeing Billy up and down. "Who's your girlfriend?" He asked, nodding his head towards Billy.

My mouth opened slightly and I looked back at Billy. He stood practically frozen, eyebrows slightly furrowed and jaw clenched.

"I'm a guy." He stated, giving his own body a once over. “A man.” He corrected himself.

Dad scoffed "The tight women’s jeans say otherwise." He whispered to me, pointing towards Billy’s legs.

I put a hand over my mouth to hide my smile and try to stop my laughter. Billy smiled tightly, the same smile he would give when he heard that I was paired with Jonathan Byers for an assignment.

"Who is this exactly?" My dad questioned.

"Oh, this is Billy Hargrove. He's my–”

“Boyfriend.” Billy cut me off, putting emphasis on the ‘boy’. He stepped towards us, casually putting an arm over my shoulders.

I gaped. Why would he tell my father that? It was true and I wasn’t mad, but my father was never a huge player in my life and now I feared he’d demand I stop seeing Billy simply based off the fact that he looked like he would break my heart. I was just going to say ‘Friend’ and see how he reacted.

It seemed to shock my dad, he looked at me silently asking me for confirmation. I shifted uncomfortably before turning to Billy again. Glaring at him as he grinned profusely. He had always been the one to push my buttons yet this wasn't exactly the best timing, my dad could relocate my entire life if he decided he hated Billy. Which wasn’t going to be very difficult, Billy was an aggravating person and lots of people easily came to hate him.

"It's true." Billy said. "Tell him, my love." He cooed, pulling me in tighter. My dad raised his eyebrows at the endearment, waiting for me to confirm or deny.

Maybe it was time to tell the truth. Gesturing towards the 6ft smirking male, I sighed heavily.

"Billy is my boyfriend”

───── ❝ ❞ ─────

Billy snickered as I closed my bedroom door. I turned to him, annoyed.

"This isn't funny, one of us is probably most definitely going to die and it's most likely going to be you, then i’ll probably be shipped off to some new town that’s even worse than Hawkins."

Billy laughed again, seemingly unfazed by my words.

"The whole situation is funny, Y/N. Did you know you look really hot when you’re angry." He commented and I scoffed at his words, choosing to ignore him.

“Y/N. Door open when that boy is here” My dad called from downstairs and I begrudgingly opened my bedroom door.

“He admits i’m a boy” Billy whispered, pressing himself against my back and putting his arms around my waist. I relaxed into his embrace, turning to look at him.

“You’ve still be emasculated”

“I’m definitely still a man” He pressed his forehead against mine “And I can prove it”

Billy took one arm off of my waist, moving a strand of hair out of my face before pressing open mouth kisses to my neck, he stepped forward, pinning me against the door and it slammed shut behind me.

“Door open!” My dad shouts again, trying to sound authoritative. Billy groans as if it was the worst thing to happen in his life and rests his head in the crook of my neck.

───── ❝ ❞ ─────

A few weeks had passed and my dad had gotten comfortable with Billy being around, unfortunately Billy hadn’t done the same. When Dad was around Billy would act as if he had to protect me, like I was his favourite toy and my dad was threatening to take it away from him.

Billy and I we’re currently at a house party, I didn’t particularly want to be there but Billy had spent the entire school day and afternoon in my living room trying to convince me a party would be ‘fun’.

It was anything but fun, Billy disappeared the second Tommy H said they had a keg in the backyard. And I didn’t even know who’s house this was. I’d only ever been to one other party and it was at Steve Harrington’s house, Steve gave me a tour so I knew where everything was and I felt very safe and included at that party.

Steve was nowhere to be seen, neither was anyone else I knew unfortunately.

I pour myself a cup of whatever was in the punch bowl and looked at my reflection as the loud music vibrated the liquid inside, distorting my face. Bringing it closer to my face, I prepared to take a drink but stopped when something dripped into it.

I put a hand to my nose, dropping the cup and spilling the contents all over the kitchen floor. My nose was bleeding and I didn’t want anyone to see the stream of red pouring down my face.

Beginning towards the front door, I heard my name being called by a familiar voice and came to a halt.

“Y/N, where are you going?”

“Nowhere” I said quickly, not turning to look at him. Trying to decided if I was going to stay frozen or run away as fast as my legs could take me.

Billy grabbed my arm and spun me around, the smile dropping from his face as he looked at me. Blood dripping out from my hand. Billy ran a hand through his hair roughly, an angry look on his face.

"Can you tell me what's going on?" He gestured towards my face. I recoiled slightly, the music was loud and he could be heard so clearly over it. Billy seemed to notice me recoil and his face softened slightly.

He grabbed me by my unoccupied hand and led me away from the front of the house, locking the door as we entered an unoccupied small room.

Billy switched a light and began rummaging through a cabinet. I stood still, watching him curiously. “What are you doing?"

He continued with his actions as he waves his hand dismissively. Finding a small white box with a red plus printed on the top. A first-aid kit?

"How did you know that was there?" I asked, Billy putting the box open on a counter and lifting me by the waist with ease. Putting me down so I was sat atop the washing machine.

"I’ve gotten into fights here before. Tommy thinks it’s good I know where all the emergency items in his house are."

So, this was Tommy’s house. I expected it to have more photos of him on the walls, celebrating every achievement he’s ever made as if he was the first person to ever do such a thing.

Billy grabbed a wipe, ripping open the package and moved so he was standing between my legs. Leaning towards my face to clean the now dried blood.

"This wasn't done by someone, was it?" He questioned, his jaw twitching.

"It just a nose bleed." I reassured him.

Billy sighed in frustration and put his hands either side of me, I smiled up at him and he mirrored my look. The room was so much more calming than the rest of the party, so much quieter it felt like the party had come to an abrupt end the second that door was closed. Billy and I had leaned in and his lips were on mine before I knew it.

His lips were firm yet soft against mine and I felt him smile. The kiss was over just as it had started but we remained close to one another. His hand now entwined in mine.

I forced myself to scoff and look away from his face. Billy used his index finger to turn my face back to his, eyebrow’s furrowed in confusion as he tried to figure out what was happening.

“That was the worst kiss ever” I lied

Billy smiled. "Yeah?”

"It was sloppy and disappointing" I lied yet again.

"And what else?!"

I licked my lips “And It was too short!" I stared glaring at him with all the fake annoyance that I could muster. Billy he raised an eyebrow.

“Was it?”

"Yeah!"

Billy laughed before grabbing my face and smashing his lips against mine. I gasped but gave in, kissing him with all that I could. I locked my arms effortlessly around his neck. He picked me up again before carefully putting me on the floor and I felt his classic smirk against my lips. My hands found their way to his hair and I pulled tightly on his dirty blond curls.

"Billy, where are you taking me?" I muttered as he pulled away from me and tried to guide me back out to the party.

"Upstairs."

He had his hand on the small of my back, guiding me up the stairs ignoring everyone that tried to greet him along the way. Upon reaching the top of the stairs, he went to open a door and his lips were back on mine.

Billy rest his forehead against mine, reaching behind him to lock the door of the bedroom we’d found ourselves in. God I hope this isn’t Tommy’s parents room. A beautiful smile across Billy’s face.

"Why are you smiling at me like that?" I asked, my voice a breathless whisper.

"Because you're beautiful." He teased, with his hand daring patterns on my waist as he spoke.

I rolled my eyes “Shut up.”

"Make me."

Accepting his challenge as I pulled his face to mine and kissed him. Billy ducked his head and began kissing the crook of my neck. His hands found mine and he held them, placing them onto his back, and I moved them to touch the skin under his shirt.

I looked down at his back when my fingers felt something, a large scar visible on his otherwise smooth skin. Billy hissed slightly at the touch.

"How?" I muttered.

Billy continued his previous affections. “Doesn’t matter”

"Stop putting yourself in situations like that." I reprimanded him, trying to get him off me. Billy hummed against my neck in response.

"Sure." He said, biting down on my neck and, with that, any means to move him away were forgotten.

Billy began kissing me feverishly, his hands grabbed each side of my waist, pulling me into him and I wrapped my arms around his neck, playing with his necklace chain as he sat on the bed and pulled me onto his lap.

Placing one hand on my cheek whilst his other hand slid down the length of my body and I tugged his hair hard. Billy fell backwards, rolling so he was on top of me.

With a lustful gaze, his eyes roamed my face. I withdrew my hands from his hair from me and put them flat against his exposed chest.

Billy’s gaze returned to my eyes and his face loomed over me, beginning to shower me in sloppy kisses.

"Kimberly." He moaned into my neck and that's the moment when I pulled away.

Kimberly was my friend. A cheerleader.

Swallowing the lump in my throat I made the excuse that I needed to use the bathroom but Billy whined, placing a few more kisses all over my face before letting me go. He smiled, saying he'd wait for me and I rushed out of the room.

Looking around at the people in the upstairs hallway, I began down the stairs. Physically bumping into someone I almost sighing in relief as I looked at their face “Steve”

“Y/N!” He grinned “Hey, how are you”

“Bad. Very bad.”

His smile dropped almost instantly and changed to a look of concern “Do you want me to take you home?”

“You’d do that?” He nodded in response, putting his drink down and pulling out his keys. “Thank you”

“No problem”

We made our way through the crowd and out the door, I knew which car was his and got to the passenger side as quickly as I possibly could.

───── ❝ ❞ ─────

After an achingly long time, I fell asleep myself. Steve had dropped me home and said I could call if I needed anything. He was understanding, even when I refused to tell him why I was upset.

Tears stung my eyes. Everything meant nothing to him, I was an idiot. ‘I’m in love with you’ was that just some ploy to get me to throw myself at him?

I left the house before I normally would, just in case Billy came to pick me up. It was a cold day as I walked on side of the road towards the school.

I thought back to last night, feeling embarrassed yet again. How could he do that? Was this exactly what I had been warned about?

As I walked into the school corridor I kept my head down, my eyes glued to the tiles on the floor as I walked to my locker and dumped my backpack inside.

My train of never ending thoughts was interrupted by the sound of students shouting. ‘Fight! Fight! Fight!' echoing across the halls.

The chanting only grew louder as I went the direction of my class and I stopped because it was difficult to get through the crowd of students.

“Y/N” Tommy gasped as if he hadn’t excepted to see me. Hitting his girlfriend’s arm, she looked at him confused before seeing me and her eyes went wide.

“Tommy?” I raised an eyebrow “Carol?”

I now had an awful feeling in the pit of my stomach, and began pushing a few people, but to no avail. They wouldn't budge. Taking a deep breath, a used all my strength to get throw the crowd and looked with curiosity as I got closer to the front.

Only to see Billy on top of Steve with a sadistic smile on his face. Throwing several hard blows to Steve’s face. He wasn’t pulling his punches and Steve let out a painful scream.

The surrounding student seemed to be enjoying the fight.

"Stop!” I called “Billy, stop!" Pulling at his arms yet he wouldn't budge. He was enraged. Enjoying the pain he was inflicting as Steve, and even I, moved away from him in fear.

Finally, Tommy pushed through the crowd with some of the other basketball players. Prying Billy off of Steve.

Instinctively, I moved towards Steve. Helping him off the floor and staring at his bruising face as it dripped with blood. Billy wasn’t done. He made that clear by lunging towards Steve again, barely being held back by 3 of the basketball players as Tommy stood between us,

"I'm gonna kill him!" Billy yelled, his voice reverberating across the crowded hallway. Tommy grabbed my arm and moved me away from Steve, shoving me towards Billy.

He ushered the crowd away quickly, and I watched them all scatter. Turning my attention to Billy in an attempt to stop him from going after Steve as Tommy and Carol looked after him.

I grabbed his arm and dragged him away from the crowd. Although reluctant, Billy followed me to an empty classroom.

"What exactly was that?" I spoke

"He deserved it." His voice put me at unease.

I sighed "What happened?”

Billy turned to me, his breathing erratic. “What happened?” He spat back “What do you fucking mean ‘what happened’?”

He clenched his hands into tight fists as I stared at him, not knowing what he meant. “He’s trying to take you away from me. Convince you i’m as bad as he thinks.” He almost growled

I sighed again, "Calm down."

Billy moved closer and I could feel warmly emanating from his body. I struggled to resist the urge to reach out and touch him.

"Calm down? What do you actually like that douche bag?"

I shoved Billy away from me “No!”

“Then why the fuck did you leave with him last night?”

I scoffed loudly, my mouth hanging wide open. "Because I had to get out of there, Billy” I did not want to have this fight here, but it was beginning to seem inevitable.

“I don't want you anywhere near him." He said in a firm voice.

"You can't tell me what to do”

He loomed over me- his lips dangerously close. “Don't test me right now. I am your boyfriend and you will do as I ask" He murmured harshly; his eyes looking straight into mine.

“You’re not my boyfriend anymore.” I spat back, shoving him away from me again.

“What?”

“Yeah, if I could go back to that day we met, I probably would just stay in bed.” I exhaled sharply through my nose “So fuckin' done with all the games you play”

“Y/N, what the hell are you talking about?”

“And nothing's ever good enough”

“Stop.” He grabbed my shoulders harshly, staring into my eyes “What the fuck are you saying?”

“You fuck my friends behind my shoulder.”

The anger in his eyes seemed to fade as his expression dropped, his face going numb and his grip on my shoulders tightening.

“How is Kimberly?” I asked bitterly. Billy stared at me, clenching and unclenching his jaw but saying nothing.

Prying his hands off of me, I moved towards the door but he grabbed my wrist

“It was an accident” He said quietly. “I don’t even care about her”

How do you accidentally sleep with your girlfriend’s friend if you’re supposedly in love with her?

“Thin line between love and hate, Billy.” I sighed, pulling my arm away from him “So fucking done with you”

🚨💙CALLING ALL UNHINGED COCKLES SHIPPERS!!!💚🚨

If you are...

looking for a space to meet some fun, albeit weird, new friends...

a lover of all things JenMish, DeanCas, and the extended Supernatural universe...

okay with innuendo and adults only conversation...

in need of somewhere to participate in fandom that doesn't take itself too seriously...

...then Sunshine Shellers on Discord might be the space for you!

About us...

We are a relatively small server with a mixture of active, semi-active and intrigued but lurking members.

As we are still quite new things are constantly evolving, but we have a lot of playful fun together as we get to know each other.

We help each other brainstorm ideas, find specific moments in both cockles and destiel history, and analyse meta.

We encourage each other to keep trying new things.

While it can be a bit scary to jump in to these kinds of online communities, when you dive in to our little corner of the dumpster, we promise not to bite! (unless you're into that sort of thing... 😏)

Our space is designed to be:

Cockles friendly - it's in the name, we're shellers... we're not going to hide in a specific RPF channel to talk about the basics of the JenMish relationship.

Actor and show positive - no outright hatred of cast/crew/episodes/arcs/etc. Constructive criticism is fine, but personal attacks are not. That being said, we all have a certain someone in mind when I say "his behaviour is not compatible with being well-liked".

For adults (18+) only - we don't censor swear words and innuendo flies everywhere. It's all in good fun.

When you join (you're going to, right?) you will need to:

Accept the rules (basically seven variations on Don't Be A Dick)

Become part of our little family, we'd love to have you. 💙💚

If you want to know more or you're having any trouble, please send an ask or DM. I'm here to help.

Lots of love, Chloe 💖 (@the-rollerchloster)

heya! can i request compatibility with nct or svt?

my placements are scorpio rising, virgo sun/moon, libra mercury, leo venus and gemini mars ^^

i’m personally in love with jeonghan but i’m curious about what you think 🐣

hi honey!

you were nice so i'll ship you with both ! (also, libra is your 12h and i lowkey see a pattern where we like people whose sun sign is our 12h sign, it happens to me lol)

for svt

seungkwan

his moon conjuncts your moon AND sun - he'll make you feel at home. his mars trines your mercury and mars while being opposite your venus. you have different points of view within the same range of opinion (does that make sense?)

wow this took me a while but his sun, mercury, venus and jupiter would be on your 4h so he kinda feels like home to you. his venus would be sextile your own, which makes it harmonies but different. his moon is trine your rising but sextile your moon and sun, so he knows how deep feelings can run but he also analyses them before talking to you

for nct

jaehyun

his rising is trine yours, his sun is on your 4h and his moon on your 7h while making a trine with your own moon and sun. his mars trines your own and his mercury also trines yours, while his mars is conjunct your mercury yet both of your venus signs are opposite. this is a sealed deal or you're just the same person in different fonts.

winwin

couldn't be more different than jaehyun, i know, but hear me out! his sun and mercury are conjunct your ascendant, while his moon is conjunct your sun and moon - there'll be an immediate click, an understanding. his venus trines yours while his mars is opposite yours, so you understand what the other needs but there's room for learning, exploring, and enjoying the differences between the two of you.

hope this is what you wanted!

Dorm Leona Card Analysis

We couldn’t find the JP version of the card stats info, so we made do with the EN version on the website. We’ll still have our usual formatting of card analyses, however. ~ 🐙

Type: Attack

Max Stats at Lv.80 [GROOVY]

Without buddies: HP 6,582 ATK 5,839

With all 3 buddies approximately: HP 9,872 ATK 7,006

Max Stats at Lv.100 [GROOVY]

Without buddies: HP 7,638 ATK 6,877

With all 3 buddies approximately: HP 11,456 ATK 8,252

Magic [Lv.10]

Flora: Two strong hits

Flora: Two strong hits that becomes three if duo with Vil is activated

Buddies

Vil [ATK S]

Ruggie [HP M]

Deuce [HP S]

Known as one of the best double element cards along with Dorm Riddle, Dorm Azul, and Halloween Silver in the meta, Dorm Leona is a double Flora Attack card with two strong hits on his first spell. He has the second highest ATK stat in the game, at 6,877 at Lv.100, so he’s quite the heavy hitter. He’s best for Water Basic tests, and he’s a card you can use as a duo finisher for not only Water, but also for Cosmic and Omni Basic.

Leona is very similar to Dorm Riddle (Fire/Fire), as both of them have two strong hits on their first spells respectively. However, the difference between them is that Leona’s duo partner, Vil, is also his ATK buddy. Riddle, on the other hand, has Azul as his duo partner but not his ATK buddy. This is very useful, as Leona needs only one other card to reach his full potential, allowing for three other cards to take up spots in your team, while Riddle needs two other cards to be at his best and thus leaves only two vacant spots for other cards to take.

Any Vil card works as Leona’s duo partner, but the best one is Dorm Vil (Flora/Cosmic). Not only do you have a second duo, they work well together in Water Basic because of similar elements. If you don’t have Dorm Vil, Robe Vil (Fire/Water) works very well because his Water magic is a two-strong hit attack that is sufficient to use together with Leona’s duo for Water Basic. PE Vil (Flora/Water) is also a great substitute, especially if you need slightly less damage.

Since Leona only needs Vil to become a great card, there aren’t many cards out there that will further boost his usefulness. He is very compatible with Birthday Riddle (Water/Flora), as he is Riddle’s duo partner and both have Flora as their duo element. It’s not necessary to boost HP on a Basic test especially when you have good offense, but if you think you need more HP to survive, you can add Camp Ruggie (Water/Flora) or Union Ruggie (Flora/Water) and DW Deuce (Water/Flora).

Leona usually wouldn’t be recommended for any Defense test due to how much damage he deals and his low HP. However, if you find your team unable to kill the enemy by turn 5, Leona would be useful to help in killing the enemy in Water Defense. There’s a risk to having lower HP should you opt to add Leona to your team, especially if you don’t have his HP buddies, so think carefully if ever you think of adding Leona for more chances of killing. You can add in DW Deuce and Birthday Riddle in the team since the former boosts Leona’s HP while the latter gets HP M boost from Leona.

If you choose to use Dorm Leona in Flora Basic, you can still choose to use Dorm Vil to add that second duo. If you don’t have him, Robe still works well, but you can opt for Beans Vil (Flora/Fire) or Lab Vil (Fire/Flora). This time, pair Leona with Halloween Silver (Fire/Fire), who has him as his duo partner and ATK buddy.

Overall, Dorm Leona is a powerhouse, and you don’t need to invest in many cards to bring him to his best. He gives a lot of wiggle room in your team because anyway, he’s most likely going to be the one dealing the finishing blow. He’s going to be one of your strongest cards, so he’s definitely worth investing on.

I just wanted to say: I love your art and especially your banner rn by talos! also your fic as well thank you for creating everything that you do for people, it’s awesome!

Second: what’s something that you’ve been chewing on lately, story wise? What character conflict, or plot point can you tell me about (that doesn’t spoil too much of course)? I wanna hear your thoughts about the characters you write and your head-cannons on them too! Just spit some word vomit at me!

Thank you!

My current banner art is actually a crop of the first paired piece I ever did to go with my Deathly Weapons fic. (Specifically Chapter 11, which I still have a soft spot for since it’s one of earliest chapters that really let me lean into scratching the thing-I-haven’t-seen-too-often-in-fanfic itch.)

I recently got my hands on a discounted Wacom (my digital art process got tanked a few years ago when my poor art-compatible hybrid tablet-laptop was tragically taken from us by a cracked motherboard) so I’m looking forward to getting into a faster art workflow again and maybe putting some new pieces out more easily. I’d like to do more comic art pieces for the Chapter 18 mission, and there’s a silly little concept drawing for the planned Mission 5 that might be new-blog-banner material if it turns out nicely. We’ll have to see how that goes.

As for what I’ve been chewing on story-wise lately… I’ve sort of been all over the place. I’m still on burnout recovery so I’ve been letting myself move non-sequentially, working on the bits my brain feels like focussing on rather than trying to force creativity where the juice isn’t flowing. (One of the things about being my type of writing-nerd is that “self-indulgent” for me means a story with plenty of material to analyse, which is very fun as a reader but has created a lot of work for myself as the writer. As mentioned in another post, I have a full-blown TV-show-style story-bible for this one.)

Recently, my authorial ping-pong-ing has been going into a fair bit of spoiler territory. There are some chunks of the Act III endgame plan which are underdeveloped in the specifics of what the big-boss bad-guys’ plan is, whether I want to involve the Anti-Ecto Acts more, and the logistics of both the counter-strategy our heroes are planning to use and how to make its more action-heavy parts look cool in writing. When I’m not doing that I’ve been focussing a lot on the upcoming Wally-centric chapters, which are a set I’ve been wanting to keep schtum about since there’s a small potential spoiler mixed in and I don’t want to risk giving the game up or pre-setting people’s expectations before they have a chance to blind read (even if a few people have already made some close guesses in the comments). It puts me in a bit of an odd-spot right now because the chapters I’m drafting are an immediate spoiler, the later sections I’m working on are a major spoiler and there’s a good chance that a lot of the character stuff going on in the middle won’t make a whole lot of coherent sense without prior context because of how I like to layer foreshadowing/development.

That said, Wally-centric chapters mean Wally thoughts, and of those I have plenty to share:

First of all, I want to establish that I really do like Wally as a character. The DW chapter set comprising Flashpoints through to Equilibrium is going to explore and develop some of his flaws and insecurities, which means he isn’t going to be looking his best, but it’s not meant to be a Ron The Death Eater situation. He’s just a complex person, and taking him warts and all means sometimes you have to get up close and personal on the warts.

Something that I’m maybe a bit over-conscious of when reviewing my DW story notes is worrying about letting Wally slide into just being punching-bag joke-fodder. Wally is quippy, irreverent, a little tactless and prone to being a bit of an impulsive goober who sometimes gets possessed by teenage boner-brain, which makes him easy to fall back on as a default source of incidental levity (whether cracking the joke or being the punchline). Because I’m now writing an 8-character ensemble where most non-focal characters only get a few lines per conversation, it’s easy for characters to slide into being defined by their strongest surface level trait(s)… and something I worry about with Wally is that his availability as a source of jokes runs the risk of Flanderisation into a disposable Scrappy/ Flirty Comic Relief, which isn’t his character. Wally is actually really important – not just for his scientific book-smarts but for his perceptiveness, earnestness and ability to function as one of the emotional barometers for the squad – so I always have it in the back of my mind to make sure I include enough moments that actually demonstrate those qualities and the other characters’ appreciation of them/ their friendship, so that it counterbalances the more light-hearted goofery.

I think he’s walking the same tightrope as Sokka from Avatar: the Last Airbender – yes, he tends to take the L more often than the others for comedy purposes and sometimes he gets stuck with supremely dumb side-plots for the sake of tonal balance, but to claim that it’s the entirety of his characterisation really misses the point by a wide mile.

On that note, I actually really like the decision YJ!Animated decided to go with in its first and only season (ahem) in giving Wally a normal and functional family background. I know that’s not the typical background for his comics counterparts (and no shade on other fan-writers who want to write AUs exploring the abuse dynamic, those are really interesting stories) but I think it was a smart deviation for the purposes of a large ensemble, and offered a fair bit of potential for cast-balance. It lets him serve an important role as the normal one – not only as an easy window into what the current lives of ordinary middle-class civilians look like (which is good because ordinary people are who our heroes are donning the masks to protect) but also as a touch-stone for the others, most of whom either come from different cultures or from very atypical backgrounds. Even if we discount the Impure Atlantean with military training, the ostracised White Martian and the Half-Alien clone-weapon, the other members of this line-up are an orphaned circus acrobat adopted by a billionaire, a girl from a dangerously dysfunctional criminal household where she was forced to fight her sibling, and a fledgling sorceress raised by an overprotective single Dad. The others might intellectually understand what a “normal” childhood and family look like but they don’t necessarily know it as intuitively and intimately as Wally does. That normality gives Wally the potential to be a more stable foundation for the others, a source of emotional contrast and of a necessary wholesome mundanity. That is a good thing for the Team to have. I think it also speaks volumes to the heart of his character. For this Wally, the Flash and heroism weren’t an escape from a bad personal situation. His life was actually pretty comfy and privileged - he didn’t experience a brutal wakeup to the injustices of the world or some other personal call to action. This is a Wally who opted into the game because he loves the players and sincerely believes in their values and mission. And while that might mean he has a more romanticised idea of what heroism entails – and will probably face some rough shocks down the line as that rosy vision runs into those more brutal realities – it also means he brings a sincere hopefulness to the job that is less hardened than a lot of his roughed-up, pre-jaded peers. Underneath the teen sarcasm and surface-level lancer/smart-guy traits, this Wally has as much power to be a stealth-Heart as any of his Flash!counterparts.

Something else I find interesting when using Wally is how a lot of his strengths and flaws feed into each other – and I think this alternate backstory is part of it. For all of his good heart Wally can come off as insensitive, and I think some of that could be read as a product of living a more charmed life. I think he’s susceptible to a thing that a lot of real people do – universalising their own personal experience as the default – and that while he is canonically a geek and somewhat genre-savvy about hero cliches, he’s a geek about in-universe media so he probably doesn’t think to apply those tropes to “real people” like himself or his colleagues. While this Wally is a skeptic, he’s not a cynic, and I think he might forget how much of an outlier he is in a world where things like living parents and loving parents are often mutually exclusive. He’s smart enough to connect dots but there’s a little blind-spot where he simply might not think to until one of the others jabs an elbow into his ribs, because his default view on humanity is in some ways a little kinder than typical due to that small but still significant amount of privilege.

At the same time, Wally is also someone who has probably run into (or watched his mentor run into) a lamp-post at high-speed at least once in his career. He contains multitudes and among those multitudes is an endless capacity for some absolute Looney-Tunes nonsense, which the world is 100% better off for having.

I love him, your honour.
