synopsis: gojo doesn't know how to cook a proper breakfast. warnings: cut and blood.
Tumblr media
It wasn't easy to be a jujutsu sorceress. No one had ever said it would be easy, but no one had ever revealed how arduous the life of a member of the Jujutsu society was. It was no longer easy to live a life without regrets, who would have thought to live in a constant limbo where every second that passed ⸻ on and off the battlefield ⸻ was totally unpredictable. Maybe it wasn't so bad being an ordinary person, ignorant of the real world around you ⸻ the world of curses.
But fate didn't seem to be fooling around.
And although you had believed for years that you would simply live by killing curses and that was it, you were having a bit of trouble adjusting to the new life you had accidentally fallen head first into. Surely you hadn't prepared yourself for a situation like this. Yes, but that was the biggest decision you made after you decided to live on your own and gain your independence.
And although you agreed with Gojo's morals and were willing to help bring about a change in the way jujutsu sorcerers were created, the only thing that really seemed to stand in the way was Gojo Satoru himself.
Who would have thought that one day, the most powerful sorcerer would inundate you with messages and phone calls, asking you the most trivial questions about how to look after a grumpy child.
It was certainly hard work. Being in charge of a child is not only a huge responsibility, it also requires socio-emotional skills. You're also looking after a person's development. Megumi Fushiguro was only half your and Satoru's age. It wasn't supposed to be like a mission with a fourth-grade curse ⸻ so easy you could do it with your eyes closed. It wasn't meant to be easy.
When the clock struck half past six in the morning, you opened the door to your apartment, exhausted and with a cut on your left arm. Early morning missions were always the most tiring for you, but feeling the coziness of your flat after exorcising a curse was the best part.
With dragging steps, you made your way to the bathroom in your room and grabbed the first aid kit, pulling out gauze, cotton wool, bandages and ointment. The cut on your arm was small, and since you hadn't yet mastered the Reverse Cursed Technique for healing, the traditional methods (which you'd learned from Shoko) were an easier way.
Gently, you cleaned the wound with water and cotton wool, watching the white sink into a sea of red from the blood, then you applied the anti-inflammatory ointment and wrapped the gauze around your arm. Before you could clean the scratches on your cheek, the doorbell of your flat rang, giving you a slight fright.
Leaving everything on the sink in your bathroom, you made your way to the door of your flat. When you opened the door, you were met by Gojo Satoru and his typical smile when he was up to something. You can't help but think back to a few nights ago.
"Gojo..." His name fell from your lips like a sigh. You were too tired.
"Kamo!"
"What do you need this time?"
"We want to have breakfast with you!"
"What? 'We'?" You looked down and saw Fushiguro and a girl, who looked older, being held like a shopping bag. "Have you kidnapped another child, Gojo?"
"This is Tsumiki, Megumi's older sister." Gojo smiled and set the children down, "And apparently they didn't like the idea of chocolate cake for breakfast. I thought that was every child's dream!"
"You were going to give them chocolate cake for breakfast?" You looked at him in disbelief.
"What?" Gojo shrugged.
"Come in, I'll make you something to eat." You opened the door wider, letting the trio into your apartment.
"Excuse me." Tsumiki said as soon as she entered the apartment and took off her shoes. Megumi followed his sister and imitated her actions.
"Hey, are you okay?" Gojo asked you almost in a whisper as you walked into your apartment and took off his sneakers.
"I am, why?"
"You look like shit."
"It's not even an hour since I got back from a mission, you're lucky you're with the kids or I'd have kicked you out." You rolled your eyes, tired, "Stay with the kids in the living room while I prepare something, the TV remote is on the sofa."
"Wow, how bossy she is…" Gojo said in a mocking tone, but he did exactly as you told him.
Not knowing what to make for breakfast, you decided on the simplest of things: pancakes and fruit salad. You sorted out all the ingredients for the pancakes and the fruit you had and separated some oranges to make juice. While you were busy preparing things, Megumi sat down on the bench in your kitchen and stared at you.
"Oh, Fushiguro!" You looked slightly startled by the boy's silent presence. "Do you need anything?" Megumi shook his head negatively, and you went back to preparing breakfast.
When breakfast was ready, you made your usual coffee and called Gojo and Tsumiki, who were watching The Adventures of Hello Kitty & Friends on TV. You put the food on the table and sat down across from Megumi. Gojo sat next to you, and Tsumiki sat next to Megumi. They all thanked you for the food before serving themselves.
"Oi, Kamo, I didn't know you were such a good cook." Gojo said with his mouth full.
"Don't talk with your mouth full, Gojo." You took a sip of your coffee.
"Is it okay if I ask you a question?" Tsumiki looked at you and Gojo.
"Ah, you don't have to be so formal here, you can talk whenever you want."
"Are you two together?" Tsumiki's question made you almost choke on the strawberry in your fruit salad.
"Yes!" Gojo smiled sideways.
"No!" You quickly countered, "We're just colleagues."
"Jeez, Kamo, I thought we had a special bond." A pout formed on Gojo's lips.
"In your dreams."
After breakfast, you put the dishes in the sink and watched Gojo stretch. Oh, what a slacker he was.
"Hey, Tsumiki, Megumi, why don't you watch some TV while I have a chat with Gojo."
"Alright, thanks for the food, Kamo-san." Tsumiki smiled and pulled Megumi out of the kitchen.
"You have to learn to cook." It was the first thing you said to Gojo as soon as the children had left.
"I can cook..." A pout formed on Gojo's lips.
"I am serious, Gojo. You can't keep giving them sweets, these kids are growing up, and they need to eat healthy things."
"And why don't we have breakfast with you? It would be nice to have the company of these lovely children."
"Gojo, it's three hours by train from Tokyo to here. When did you wake up?"
"Tsumiki woke me up at about three in the morning and said that she and Megumi were hungry, so I offered them yesterday's chocolate cake, but they didn't want it, so I thought maybe you could do the breakfast, you know Shoko usually speaks very highly of your food."
"Gojo..." You sighed, "You can't wake the children at three in the morning to catch the train and have breakfast here at my home. They need a good night's sleep and it will be exhausting if you make it a routine. If you can't manage breakfast, ask Shoko or maybe Nanami to help you."
"But you said you'd help me."
"And I will, but there are certain things I can't do being so far away."
"Then why don't you move to Tokyo?"
"It's not so easy to move to Tokyo, I still have some problems to solve in Kyoto."
"But moving to Tokyo is a possibility, isn't it?"
"It's a possibility. But possibilities also have a margin for error"
"You could spend a few days in Tokyo..."
"Maybe on a day off." You smiled weakly.
"Hmm..." Gojo murmured in agreement, "What time is it?"
"About ten past seven." You said, checking the kitchen clock.
"Oh shit, I forgot the brats have to go to school!" Gojo quickly got up from his chair in desperation.
"They have school?"
"Yes, and apparently they're going to be late!"
"See, I told you it wasn't a good idea to come to Kyoto in the morning!"
"Don't worry, they'll only miss the first class!" Gojo left the kitchen and walked into the living room of your apartment, "Come on brats, time to go to school!"
You opened the door to your apartment and waited for the trio to put on their shoes before leaving.
"Bye Kamo-san, thanks for the food." Tsumiki smiled and bowed, Megumi, who was standing next to her sister, nodded, looked into your eyes and bowed in silent thanks.
"See you later!" Gojo kissed your cheek, right on the bruise you had gotten earlier, and held both children's hands.
"Gojo!" Your repressive tone made Gojo just laugh and go on his way.
Yeah, Gojo Satoru would still be the death of you...

childhood crush
Tumblr media
pairing. fem!reader x portgas d. ace.
summary. you and ace accidentally meet up after some time away.
contains. fluff, cursing, mild spoilers for ace’s backstory.
word count. 1k.
note. in my head, everybody in one piece is alive and well.
Tumblr media
ace has known you for as long as he can remember.
you used to be a wee little thing. much, much smaller and weaker in body than he was. it isn’t helping that the memories of you he can recollect are the ones where you cry out loud, seeking for his help.
you were in the same league as luffy, as sabo once told him. a crybaby. you never once stopped chasing after them — no, him. solely because of the command old dadan told you about: to keep watch over him when she’s not around.
although, you being his watchdog never ended well for you.
he’s born strong and wild, and you simply weren’t. you carried more scratches and bruises than they did after running amok the mountain’s forest, and that was on a daily basis.
even luffy’s suffering was nothing compared to what you gained running after him.
that went on for some years. him doing whatever he wanted and you cleaning up the mess he left behind, heavily exasperated to your wit’s end. it was what actually made him fond of you.
yet the time has come for his promise to luffy and sabo to finally gear up.
“take care, ace!” luffy waved from the cliff, a huge grin across his face.
“yeah, see you, luffy!” he replied from his boat, the very symbol for his first adventure. the catalyst of many more to come. “i’ll be going now!”
“i’ll be a lot stronger when i leave here in three years!”
ace returned his grin, letting the powerful waves of the sea take him to wherever it desires. there was a round of ‘take care’s and ‘good luck’s, but there was one particular reminder that stood out to him.
“ace! don’t forget about us!” you bellowed. “don’t forget about me!”
he laughed, “i can’t even if i want to!” he hoped that the crashing sounds of the water wouldn’t tamper down the truth in his voice. then, before he couldn’t see the figures on the cliff anymore, he raised his arms and waved his goodbye.
that was some time ago.
now, he watches with comical bewilderment as you expertly skip some of the bar tables to run to where he’s sitting at.
“ace? is that you, ace?”
he gawks, then breathes out your name, confusing the first division commander sitting beside him.
“you know her?”
“ace!” you squeal upon reaching him, immediately wrapping your arms around his body and crushing his bones. “it’s me! did you forget about me?”
marco wolf whistles from the sideline, smirking at the event unfolding before him, “oh my.”
“what are you doing here?” he questions, pulling himself back to look at you. and wow, he didn’t think you’d look, well for the lack of better term, this attractive.
“what do you mean? i’ve become a pirate!”
ace’s disbelief is loud and apparent. “idiot!” he knocks you by the head. “are you still following me? following dadan’s orders?”
“you wish,” you pout. at that moment, you finally take notice of marco beside him, bowing down and introducing your name. “hello, i’m ace’s childhood friend. thank you for taking care of this idiot.”
“nice to meet you-yoi,” he chuckles, warming up to you already. after a second, he glances knowingly at ace. “so this is her,” he comments.
ace hears the intention. loud and clear.
“marco,” he chuckles without an ounce of amusement behind it, “i think pops needs some checking up.”
“i’ve already administered him his meds, ace. pops will live for the night.” marco happily returns his attention back to you. “so, are you single?”
you freeze at the question, the same time as ace’s booming protest broke through the bar.
“knock it off!” he stands up, authority seeping through his skin. you’re taken aback with his reaction, hell, even he is taken aback. he lowers his head, embarrassed by his outburst, and timidly hides beneath his hat.
“i’m single,” you shrug after a moment. this makes marco snort, digging into ace’s mortification much deeper. “not sure why it’s a big deal.”
“oh, i like you already,” marco teases. the first division commander is beaming even as he utters the words. it sounds so smooth, so at ease, that ace feels a little jealous he can do it without worrying about what you think if he’s the one to say it.
“but i’m not available,” you voice out suddenly, and the two heads snap to attention. you give them a sheepish smile, “i already like someone.”
before ace could stop himself, he had already asked, “who?”
“oh please,” you scoff, not before pursing your lips as you avoid their awaiting looks, “it’s the same person.”
he squints his eyes, trying to remember if you had once told him you have a budding crush on someone. his wondering leads him to stare mindlessly at the wall behind you as he racks his brain for a clue.
is it luffy?
no, he’s way too childish for you.
“you mean to say you’ve only had the same crush your entire life?” he hears marco ask you, but it’s a bit tuned out.
sabo?
surely, you won’t punish yourself for someone who isn’t here?
“no way,” marco bursts out laughing, “that’s just bullshit.”
is it someone from your crew?
speaking of, where even is your crew?
“he's not even listening,” marco continues, repeatedly knocking his fist against the table, hunching forwards with laughter. “and yet you choose him?”
ace collects his thoughts and returns back to the situation at hand. he scowls at how the two of you have become oh-so chummy with each other — you giggling with marco, and well, marco almost dying with happy tears in his eyes, all while he’s time traveling back to his childhood.
“am i missing something?” he glowers.
“a huge one! a really huge one,” his co-commander slings an arm around his neck, squeezing it affectionately, “oh, you poor guy.”
“you mean, poor me,” you snort before reducing back to giggling alongside the other commander. reaching out you gently tap ace’s cheek, “it’s nice to see you again, ace.”

Hey! I just saw the new spiderman movie (across the spider verse) and had an epiphany. (First of all, did you see the movie? I don't want to give you spoilers or something like that, if not, you can ignore my request)
A spider-woman reader who gets lost in the multiverse and somehow makes it to RoR's, maybe platonic yandere reactions because of how young she is and what she has to go through? (because of the canon and all that)
Maybe a bonus of Miguel O'hara going to look for her so as not to alter her canon and seeing a group of supreme beings on the way? (God that man is wild)
With the gods being Odin, Hades and Poseidon and on the human side Adam, Qin Shi Huang and Tesla.
-You wandered around, curious as to where you were, after your watch malfunctioned when you were trying to run from Miguel. You were trying to help Miles who just wanted to save his dad.
-You remember when your own dad was killed, something Miguel said was a ‘canon event’, but you felt like you could have prevented it, you could have saved your dad, and now you were giving another fellow teenager a chance to save his own dad.
-Those who defended Miles were ordered to be captured to be grounded to prevent any more canon events from happening according to plan, to prevent the multi-verse from being destroyed.
-You were one teenager verses an army of other spider heroes, so of course you ran, scared, and when you tried to go back to your own dimension, someone managed to take a swipe at you, making your watch malfunction and you wound up here and your watch broke right afterwards.
-There were so many weird people around, people that didn’t look human, so you thought that you didn’t stand out much, wearing your own spider suit, a black bodysuit with red web designs, and a red pleated mini skirt with an oversized bow tied to the back of it and a black widow symbol on your chest and your back.
-Brunnhilde ran to find you after reports came to find you and found you with Shiva who instantly like you as you were sparkly eyed- or sparkly masked, “You’re so cool Mr. Shiva!” you had never met anyone with four arms before and he was instantly taken by you, easily able to tell that you were a teenager.
-Brunnhilde brough you before the other gods and powerful warriors from history, you only recognized a few names, like Adam and Nikola Tesla as far as humans went, but you knew a lot of gods, as you were a history buff.
-You unmasked, pulling it off and jaws dropped, seeing you really were just a teenager and you told them about what led you to being here, something Odin was able to tell was the truth, as well as the broken watch.
-Your eyes were huge; meeting Nikola Tesla himself, and he was thrown off by your elation before you started to ask him questions about his inventions, and he instantly beamed and the two of you hit it off quickly. He had never met someone so into science that wasn’t a scientist, and after you told them about your own powers, showing them by shooting webs and able to scale walls after being bitten by a radioactive black widow spider, he was elated, wanting to know as much as possible!!
-Nikola pulled your watch apart, trying to figure out how it worked but it was very advanced.
-Adam was instantly your parent in this new world, as he was furious that you were out fighting crime and putting yourself in danger, furious that a child was being forced to do this, after you told them about canon events, as most of the different Spider-Men gained their powers as teenagers.
-You found yourself quickly adopted by many different people in this new world, getting a massive family almost instantly, which was nice, since you only ever had your dad, and since he died, you lived mainly at HQ and only going to your dimension for school and to fight the bad guys in your dimension.
-Since you couldn’t leave, you were welcomed into this world, and since there were no villains, you got to live as a normal teenager, learning about figures of history directly as well as learning from gods.
-Poseidon was one that took a little longer to warm up to you, as he didn’t really want to bother with you, until Hades brought you over and your eyes were huge and sparkly, wanting to know more about the oceans as humans weren’t going very fast with their exploration of it.
-Hades sent him a small glare when Poseidon tried to wave you off and spoke rudely at first, but seeing your drive to learn more made him realize that not all humans were bad, a few, like you and Kojiro were proof of that.
-Hades adored you, as you dropped in, literally, wanting to ask him all sorts of questions from the lore you learned in school and he was happy to get away from his paperwork and was able to tell you all about the truths being many of the legends, some were true, and some had more embellishments added in.
-Odin was the god you spent the most time with, as you lived in the Norse pantheon with the valkyries, so you got to see him, Loki, and Thor all the time, although Odin learned quickly that Loki was a bad influence on you, as he would encourage you to get up to mischief with him but seeing you happy was nice here and there.
-When you first met Qin Shi Huang, your eyes nearly popped out of your head, realizing that he was a bona-fide emperor!! You asked him so many questions, a lot like a curious child and he was quick to realize how smart you were, and he loved watching you use your abilities, even taking him flying with you once, showing the strength in your webs. It was his turn to be sparkly-eyed when you showed him your fangs, your upper canines that grew just a bit when you were first bitten, and you told him that you could paralyze your enemies for about four hours with the poison in your fangs, but you don’t like biting others, to you it’s kind of gross.
-When a portal opened and Miguel stepped out along with several other members of HQ and he immediately glared, “There you are!!” you let out a terrified squeak and instantly ducked under a table but when nothing happened, you peeked out, seeing your new parents, those who had adopted you, were standing between Miguel and you.
-Miguel remained calm, explaining the canon events, and that the multi-verse was at threat of falling apart if you didn’t return to your own world and continue with your duties, this time with a babysitter since you were one of the ones who tried to help Miles.
-Miguel tried to yell at you once you came around, peeking out around Adam, who held your hand when he felt your hand looking for his, “Miles needs to understand that this needs to happen! Miles, you, and those other idiots who helped him are all so selfish!”
-You immediately snapped back, “He’s a teenager- I’m a teenager, we’re kids! What do you expect when you tell us that we have to let our loved ones die?!”
-He glared and Odin, showing his intimidating aura, spoke, “That is enough!” Jessica tried to reason with you, but you didn’t want to, you refused to believe that this was the only way.
-Zeus then laughed warmly, “My-my~ you humans always seem to make such a fuss out of things. As gods, we have the power to remove the instability of these multi-verses, so things can play out according to how you all want them to.”
-Jaws dropped all around as you gawked at him, completely stunned before the gods combined their powers to just that, giving Miles the opportunity to save his dad with no repercussions, there were no longer a need for canon events!!
-Miguel was stunned before he sighed softly, admitting defeat and sent out the message to everyone, letting them know what had happened and that Miles and those who were being hunted were no longer in trouble.
-You cheered loudly, celebrating and Jessica couldn’t help but ruffle your hair lightly before she gave you a new watch, as she knew yours had been destroyed, giving you the opportunity to come back to HQ whenever you wanted.
-You beamed, leaping and hugging Poseidon who caught your embrace, as you now had the freedom you always wanted to do what you want with your powers, and you could come and go to Valhalla as you pleased.

My headcanon for frat peter is that he joined one after gwen dies to distract himself and as a bandaid fucks everything that movies and gains a reputation oc / reader is his best friend very similar to dancing on my own ik but anyway she tries supporting him but peter is really unhealthy and she leaves for a while how do you think peter would feel about the hole she leaves behind cause she used to basically do all his emotional heavy lifting on hard days
Tumblr media
He acts like he's fine. He's learned not to show his emotions especially around the guys. They were never big fans of her, anyway. It takes him about two weeks to finally notice that she's gone. It happens the day he's set to touch up his blonde roots. Usually he heads on over to her dorm, sneaking into the women's bathroom, while she does his hair for him. During those times are when he typically feels more free to speak his mind. They shared a lot of heart to hearts over those moments of the two of them, giggling alone in the bathroom, while he enjoys the feeling of her fussing over his hair. He feels the weight of the world leaving his shoulders for a short time whenever she's around.
This time, though, she doesn't come when he calls.
Tumblr media
All his texts go unanswered. At first, he's worried she's hurt. He immediately thinks the worst. It's in his nature to assume that the people he loves will end up dead. Taken too early. It's not until he sees her walking around campus he's able to feel a sense of relief.
He jogs up to her, big, cocky grin on his face, and falls in step next to her. He expects her to open up like usual. Expects her to play along with his teasing. When he only receives a cold shoulder and the silent treatment, he reacts with anger.
Peter's been so angry lately. He's been struggling to feel many emotions but anger is one that always seems to make it through his closed off walls. They say that anger is a massive part of the grieving process but it's one he hasn't been able to shake.
They get into a huge, blow out fight in middle of campus over how he treats her now vs before and how he let's his friends treat her like shit. She's sick of his behavior and only using her whenever he needs something. It's never the other way around. Peter no longer shows up for her like she does for him. She can't take their one sided friendship anymore. This isn't the Peter she grew up loving.
It draws a crowd. People are watching them like they're today's entertainment. It ends with her crying, running back to her dorm, and Peter cursing out the crowds and stalking back to his frat house.
Tumblr media
He mourns her loss in his life like he mourned for Gwen.
Denial.
It was her fault. She was being stupid. He had done nothing wrong. So what if his frat brothers teased her from to time. It was her fault she couldn't take a joke. He turned a blind eye to their behavior. He let them get inside his head. He didn't need her. He had lines of women waiting to throw themselves at his feet. What was the loss of one, stupid, annoying girl he knew as a kid? According to his brothers, she refused to put out, anyway. It was no loss to him. He didn't need her.
He buried his hurt by sleeping around more often than usual. A new woman every night. Sometimes two in the same day. He even slept with her best girl friend just to extra piss her off and get back at her.
He wanted her to hurt as much as him.
Tumblr media
Anger
He was already the king of anger. He felt its power invade his every pore. It lived deep in his bones and consumed his every waking thought. He was getting into multiple fist fights every week. Not even as Spider-Man, just as Peter Parker.
He fought his frat brothers, he fought guys at the bar, he fought dudes on the street, he even fought his own reflection in the mirror. That one left him covered in blood and surrounded by shattered glass. He needed stitches to close up the wound. He couldn't stand the sight of his own face. He despised the man who stared back at him.
He didn't know this person. He didn't know Peter anymore.
Maybe she was right. Maybe had lost himself.
Tumblr media
Bargaining
If he could just see her again...
If he could just see her one time. Hear her voice. That's all he wanted. He could watch her anytime he felt like it. He could overhear her talking to friends whenever he spied on her. He was Spider-Man. He was the master of stealth and shadows. But that wasn't enough. He wanted her voice to be directed at him. He didn't care what she said to him as long as she was talking. All he wanted was a fraction of her attention.
He would trade it all to get her back in his life. Just one conversation. That's he wanted. One, little talk just like old times.
She refused.
He couldn't blame her. He was a destroyer of lives. Anyone he touched crumbled around him. Whether they were killed in a plane crash, shot in the street, fell from a building, or were shoved away...they all left him in the end.
It was his fault. It was always his fault.
Tumblr media
Depression
When he lost everything, he used to turn to sex. Now the thought of touching a woman who wasn't her only made him sick to his stomach. Alcohol was too risky. It fucked too much with his emotions. Made him reckless.
Pot was the cure.
It calmed him. Made him forget for a while. Allowed him to just relax and zone out.
He stopped going to his classes. Stopping talking to his brothers. Stopped answering his texts. It was just him, a strong joint, and the quiet of cave of his bedroom. In here, he could wallow in peace.
Peter Parker was not someone who could be trusted in the real world. He deserved to be locked up like an animal. No one needed him. He was better off alone.
This was where he would stay. In the dark. Where he belonged.
Tumblr media
Acceptance
The state of his hair told him how much time had passed. It was back to brown. Greasy and unkempt. Shaggier than he typically liked it but he didn't care enough to get it fixed. The only person he ever wanted to touch his hair again was her.
And she deserved an apology.
He had been reading about grief online. There were five stages, so the internet says. There is no specific time period for each and they can jump between the stages whenever they feel like. He liked to hang out in the anger stage more often than the others. It was where he felt most at home. At least he understood anger. Anger made sense to him. Smoking helped quell the raging beast. That was a vice he didn't want to give up. Not yet. He wasn't ready for that step.
The world was an angry place and he fit right in.
But he was learning where to put that anger. It didn't belong on her. That was misguided. She had done nothing wrong. All she had ever done was love him. Anger was okay as long as it was placed in the right direction. He knew that now. Spider-Man could use anger to his advantage. Bad guys deserved anger. His frat brothers deserved his wrath for how they treated others. He, himself, deserved the anger. But not her.
And he needed to make amends. Even if she didn't fully forgive him, he needed to try, because she deserved to hear it, and he deserved to say it.
All it took was one text. After months of no contact. One text and she replied.
Coffee. 9am. Just the two of them.
One, little talk...just like old times.
Tumblr media
I LOVED THIS!
It is very Dancing On My Own coded. I think what some people don't fully grasp in that story is that Peter was severely grieving through the later half of it. Gwen died because he couldn't catch her in time. He lost the love of his life because he wasn't good enough at the ONE thing he was supposed to be good at. He fully blames himself for her death. Do people not realize how seriously fucked that would make someone?? I think that's why I like to write dark!Peter so much. Because TASM Peter would be dark after that. He would not be normal. He would not be able to go back to being friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. It would ruin him. We saw that in NWH. It's still eating him alive like a decade later. The college days of Dancing On My Own took place a year after Gwen's death. The boy is fucked up.
Grief makes you do stupid things. Anger and reckless behavior is part of grief. Obvious that doesn't mean that it's okay but to completely write someone off as a monster undeserving of love just because they're hurting doesn't sit right with me. Not that you did that, I'm just going off the comments and complaints I've gotten on the fic that always low key piss me off.
And maybe I'm just not the greatest writer so that didn't come off as well as I wanted it to in DOMO but I tried my best haha. Maybe I shouldn't have ended it where I did and allowed them to grow a bit more after but I really thought that kind of stuff would just be assumed by the reader because it made sense in my head that that's how grief and healing and forgiveness go. But no one lives in my head but me so that's my fault for not executing my intentions properly!
I lovelovelove exploring grief and the different places it can take a person. Grief/depression/anger/angst are my favorite topics. Always have been since I was young. Like how Peter in this story feels most comfortable hanging out in his anger, I feel most happy in my angst and darkness. Sad people sometimes do bad things. Hurting people sometimes hurt other people. Even people they love very much. Does that make them completely incapable of change? Does that make them forever unlovable or not worthy of forgiveness? Sometimes people think too much in black and white and forget that the world is full of all sorts of grays.
Not that this was even about DOMO and I'm completely going on a tangent I know I'm so sorry haha but it's close enough to domo because it's dealing with Peter's grief and hurting of a close friend.
Here's some of my favorite pages from my favorite children's book (Michael Rosen's Sad Book) that talks about grief and the loss of someone you loved very much that's meant to teach children how to better understand their sadness and hurt and that even if you do bad things sometimes it doesn't mean that you are a bad person who doesn't deserve love and forgiveness:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ANYWAY
I just wanted to say that I love this and I love when people come to me with headcanons. That's what fandoms are supposed to be about. We're all supposed to be pestering each other 24/7 with our ideas and creating stories together and collaborating and building shit that we all love. Always send me your ideas. No matter how unhinged you might think they are bc I'm sure I've got equally as crazy ideas to play along with you!

The Caged Bird and the Chased Mouse
Chapter 1: The Bird Gains Company
What happens to a poor isekai’d player when they forgot to play the Sumeru Main Quests before being transported into the wonderful world of Tevyat, only to be chased down for being a supposed ‘Imposter’? Well they end up in Sumeru with next to no idea of what’s to come next or what to expect and ends up with youngest of the Archons.
A/N: woah you guys seemed to like the,,, lets call it the prologue,, despite me not being a huge writer ehe! That prologue got more than most of my art (which you should check out heheh self-promotion) BTW: Nahida isnt a yandere, it might come off as so, its not supposed to. No matter how old she may be in canon she looks like a baby and is my baby that I will protect.
No warnings this part!
Nahida was surprised when she saw someone who wasn’t a Sage or related coming into the sanctuary.
Before the mysterious person came in she was simply taking a nap to escape her true reality of being contained in her prison, not expecting anyone to come through that day as the sages were needed elsewhere for what they seemed to be planning. The creak of the door woke her from her soft slumber to look at the commotion, it was a figure dressed in a dark cloak that covered almost everything but their footwear. It looked like they were in a rush and exhausted, gasping for air as they pushed their whole body against the door to close it as soon as possible. Then came what Nahida assumed was the guards trying to get in but didn’t seem to be able to get through.
The person turned around and looked up, locking eyes with Nahida. She was taken aback with how… Familiar, the person was, as if she knew them already, similar to have she felt when thinking of Rukkadevata. Nahida was unwilling to break eye contact, as if she broke it they would disappear.
They slowly made their way to the middle, apprehensive but concerned. When they got to the middle they climbed over the flower structure and stood up, reaching their hand up to Nahida. She took a second to understand but eventually pressed her own small hand to the floor of the cage, even thought they couldn’t touch each other because of the height and the prison, they both felt comforted by the gesture.
They lowered their arm and started to lower their whole body to sit down. Once sat down they stretched and laid down despite the odd shape of the flower. Nahida kept her hand on the floor, and watched them.
She knew whatever was keeping the door closed wasn’t going to last, and she didn’t want you to be taken away and likely imprisoned, like her…
Nahida whispered to your exhausted body “Everything will be okay, I’ll make sure of it.”
Your eyes closed.
As you fell asleep Nahida reached out, with her minuscule amount of power she had, to your unconscious body. The green chains slowly and gently wrapped around your body, with it flickering in and out of existence as each moment passed. She was exerting herself to bring you into her prison, at least she’d be able to protect you and make sure the sages don’t do anything to you while you were in it. You were getting closer and closer to the walls, and eventually, started to phase into it, with the chains dissipating into green pixels when their job was done. Nahida pulled you the rest of the way in, and collapsed on your body, her head lying on your chest.
She was so incredibly tired from that feat, and wanted to truly sleep and not just nap. She wrapped her arms around you and dozed off.
Your arms wrapped around her in your sleep.
Two lonely beings, comforted by each other.
The Archon of Wisdom and The Creator.
The caged bird and the poor poor chased mouse.
————————————————————————-
Out side the door, dozen of guards stand confused. Vines and flowers have twisted and twined together, blocking the door entirely making it next to impossible to get in without use of an axe. Seeming growing out of nowhere with no time at all.
_________________________________
Hey! How’d you like this technically first chapter? I know it’s shorter than the first I did, but I wanted it entirely in 3rd person and not have to swap and disrupt the flow of things ya’know?
As I said at the top, this is a platonic thing, please please PLEASE for the love of god don’t interpret this as romantic. I will disclose if something is ‘romantic’ (but like the SAGAU au is infamous for it’s yanderes so take that with a grain of salt) and this isnt it, the children are pure because they are my babies. ESPECIALLY Nahida.
If your name is crossed out then it means I couldn’t tag you im sorry :(

Why do we think Severus had no friends other than Lily?
Please tell me... before anyone says he was friends with Mulciber and Avery. That was a recent affair which we learn because lily tells Severus, "I don't like the people you've been hanging out with."
It's recent.
We know, also that the werewolf attack also happens before SWM -- and we learn this particularly in the same conversation.
Did Severus join their friend group out of fear?
I know this has nothing to do with my og point, that being : is any Slytherin a good enough friend, for Severus and is Severus a Slytherin good enough to be friends with any other house?
But wait a second;
Severus has always been an out cast, he's at the bottom of school's social ladder; he's poor, not mainstream attractive, he has poor socialization.
He hardly managed to make friends with Lily only succeeding because he had something she wanted; Knowledge about the wizarding world.
Therefore when he joined Mulciber's group; he would have had to been at the bottom of the friend group, as a : go for/ yes man/ nerd that does their homework ect....in exchange for being in the group and possibly getting protection; IF they bothered too, which I doubt they did seeing as no one in that group came guns a blazing to help him in SWM.
That friend group's power wasn't balanced, and if you've never been in a friend group that wasn't balanced then bless you.
When we talk about balance for the peoples that may not understand:
We have our leader: who may or may not be the glue of the group ei, the one who gathered the friends, or they could also just be the loudest, pushiest or just idk has more swag.
Example: James.
Then we have the second in command, the best friends of the leader, these people are the closest -- best friends, possibly has the ability to kind of influence the leader:
Example: Sirius
Then we have the third, close to the outside eye, best friends with the first two but everyone inside knows they aren't as close, if they were walking and one had to fall behind it would be this friend, if they ever stopped talking for a little, this friend would be first to go.
Example: Remus
And lastly we have the bottom of their social ladder, this friend is a follower, not a lot of say in the group, is lucky to be there and to be considered a friend, usually a yes man, a go for, or someone they exploit for their own personal gain, ie studying or help with assignments, or they could have poor social skills but have a rich background and is easy to manipulate. They are in this group for more protection or power of numbers. They need the group more than the group needs them.
Example: Peter & Severus
Originally I made this post to ponder any friends Severus might have had -- but in a environment that already is hostile to Slytherins, would any Slytherin on the same social standing had been his friend?
I mean he already pissed off the biggest bullies in their year so anyone on a similar social standing might not want to be friends with him out of fear of being more on James and co. raider than they already are, plus this is especially true for maybe another Slytherin -- (Slytherins stick together because of their bad rep. Professor's are no help usually.)
Any other Slytherin would be above him, and most likely not spare him the time of day.
Why would other houses help the weird kid with a huge target on his back?
And if magically he made friends, perfectly find friends who don't let Potter's bullying fly or any house's bulling fly and fight back. If they did manage to be Severus' friends, would Lily approve?
I mean, how do we know someone is a threat?
Don't we either learn through the grape vine or our own eyes?
Well, other houses are side eyeing Slytherin, for being death eaters -- so the muggleborns are sticking close together. Maybe even the houses are protecting their muggleborn friends in whatever way:
"Hey this one's family is a death eater..."
"That one's relative is a supporter..."
"Stay away from them."
I mean we know James and co are on the lights side, so obviously, their actions and pranks are cool because they would never stoop to such a disgusting level.
Does that translate to :
If James and co. Don't approve of this person and are acting out against them ----
They are fight the good fight?
I mean, we do know Mulciber and Avery do become deatheaters.
But -- we don't hear anything about James and co fighting them. We hear Lily being weary of them.
is any Slytherin a good enough friend, for Severus and is Severus a Slytherin good enough to be friends with any other house?
Unimportant to the post:
Looking at Harry 's own friend group with Ron and Hermione. I meant to talk about a balance in friend groups, but I just realized you might think Harry is the leader, which is was at a point since Ron and Hermione didn't get along at the start.
But in truth Ron is the glue, while Harry has the leader status.
That's all, this post is long enough.

Firstly, thank you for keeping my Sterek obsession fed and watered all this time- you are the best!
Secondly, I have searched tags and can’t quite find what I’m looking for:
I am obsessed with fics where Stiles is developing magic ability but finds out he gets a huge power boost from Derek (maybe tied to Hale territory and the like) - that ultimately makes them an unstoppable force. Derek getting hurt then healed by Stiles always a plus. Do you know of any in this particular vein?
You are so welcome! And thanks to @kevaaronday because she did all the work for this list.
Tumblr media
light a spark by raisesomehale (8/15 | 30,778 | Teen | Sterek) “It’s not” - Derek cuts off as quickly as he starts, teeth gritting with frustration - “It’s not like the others it’s… There’s a reason I came to your house last.”
Stiles’ eyebrows raise. This is hands down the weirdest Derek has ever acted around him, and it’s making him curious. 
“And that reason being…?” He rolls the sleeves of his flannel up to his elbows and leans against his desk to start untying his shoes.
“I need” - Derek grits through clenched teeth - “Your help.”
Stiles just blinks at him, shoes in his hands. “That was excruciating to witness, just so you know.”
Teen Witch by Mr_Bilinski (9/? | 29,956 | Mature | Sterek) After the Nogitsune possession, a bit of the darkness remains, unseen by the Pack. Due to his connection to the Nemeton and having been possessed, Stiles finds himself more on the "super" end of the natural/supernatural spectrum. With power unseen by any before, who can hold Stiles in check? Will the darkness and the seemingly unlimited potential of what his powers could do corrupt Stiles or will he heed the infamous words of Uncle Ben?
Canon compliant up through the end of season 4. Some elements from later seasons will be incorporated with some twists.
The Spark of a Wolf by WolfMadeFromAsh (9/9 | 24,540 | Teen | Sterek) Stiles is a Spark.
WTF does that even mean? Other than the fact that he needs an anchor to maintain control and that anchor is a shapeshifter, he has no idea. It seems that everyone around him is figuring things out before him and no one is thinking about cluing him in. His best friends act as if he's not right in front of them and Derek Hale is the most reliable person in his life right now.
What the hell?
Of Mischief and Trickery by GrimReaperlover11 (14/? | 24,258 | Teen | Sterek) A fight with a witch ends in a big secret regarding Stiels' parentage being brought into the light.
a leak of light in a blue town like this by sikenlore (1/1 | 21,153 | Mature | Sterek) stiles spent the summer of his freshman year of college practically living at derek and cora’s cozy, three bedroom a-frame. he carved a space for himself in their house, in their lives.
(snippets of moments in the lives of the beacon hills pack, or more specifically, in the lives of stiles and derek, the pack emissary and the alpha.)
Born Out of Magic by sparkandwolf (4/4 | 20,850 | Teen | Sterek) “I’ve—we’ve—kept this town safe ever since we were teenagers without the help of—” Stiles couldn’t bring himself to say his name, not yet. 
“It was only a matter of time, you know?” Scott said, his voice clearly sympathetic. 
“Why are you all just standing around?” The voice was like ice through Stiles’ spine. As much as he wanted to run or to lash out at the person he thought he disliked most in the world, he froze in place like a coward. 
Even as the most powerful mage on his side of the country, he was still powerless against Derek Hale.
Or, Stiles gains magical abilities he never knew he had while battling the Darach all while slowly falling in love with the person he least expected, Derek Hale. After the pack defeats her, Derek leaves Beacon Hills—and Stiles—behind. A few years later, there's a new big bad the pack is struggling to defeat. The only thing their alpha can think to do is call on the one person who can truly bind Stiles' powers and complete their pack. 
Derek saunters back into Stiles' life as if he never left and the past seems to surge to the forefront of Stiles' mind.
Mage: Gajos by DaoOfGay (2/? | 12.472 | Explicit | Sterek) "These are the Gajos." The book whispered in delight, his voice broke in a near maniacal villain laughter before it awkwardly coughed. "Many Gajos placed their knowledge in me, in hopes of making the future generations as powerful as they were- I have the knowledge of every single Gajos that has ever lived... Including you, Mieczslaw Genim Stilinski, or should i say- Vklay Klein Gajos."
"Wait, what?" 
X-x-X
A.k.a: Stiles finds out he's from a powerful Magic family and royalty as well.
It's a little rushed.
Also cringe, but cringe culture's dead- Embrace second hand embarrassment
5 times that Stiles saved Derek and the pack, an one time they saved his life by Sivan325 (1/1 | 5,080 | Teen | Sterek) Stiles and Derek were a co-alpha to the Hale pack, and Stiles was over the moon. He enjoyed his role and was delighted that his spark gave him the power and being the alpha.
Also written for Teen Wolf Bingo - Creature AU
Heart Spark by DaoOfGay (1/? | 4,183 | Explicit | Sterek) "He's more than a simple spark, Derek-" Peter smiled softly as he held the sleeping Stiles on his arms, the entire pack either asleep or almost asleep around them: "-He's a Divine Spark of Hestia, a spark directly from the flames of the Heart, he was born to be protective, motherly, born to be a healer and to have a large family... And, of course, with the ability of providing the means of having said family."
A little shocked by his Mate's divine powers, Derek whispered a little confused: "...what?"
"Pregnant, Derek." Peter ignored how half of the entire pack just froze and stared at Stiles with shock: "He can get pregnant- In fact, he already is."
Oh. That's why everybody has been so overprotective of him recently.
"Oh."
X-x-X
Or; The one where Stiles gets a pack and Derek gets the love and happiness he deserves.

Endings And Beginnings
Tumblr media
It's just a new beginning It's just a different ending
This phrase sums up how I feel about the ending as a whole! It was adequate in the sense that we were given what needed to happen. At the same time, it was not as bombastic as it could have been and to me it felt more as a huge set-up for the future, rather than a conclusion.
Don't get me wrong, it manages to wrap up the volume well and it gives an ending to Ruby's journey. And yet, this journey feels more like a first step, than a last one :) And the same can be said about all the other characters.
FIRST STEPS
This volume as a whole doesn't solve character arcs, but rather sets up future struggles, while letting the characters get through the inner work to face their final challenges in Vacuo, much like volume 4 did.
Ruby - She is the protagonist of the volume and gets the focus, as she should. Her arc is to start the process of grieving and of self-actualization. I don't think she has finished neither process btw. Her feelings for both Summer and Penny are not completely solved. The same goes for who she is:
Will I ever be (Complete?) When will I become all of me?
The major step she takes in the season is to simply separate who she si from who Summer is. Or to better say. From who she thought Summer was. She breaks Summer's pedestal and so she can see her own self better.
Jaune - He is the character who gets the most focus after Ruby. And yet, in the end what he gets is simply another chance at self-actualization. Differently from Ruby he doesn't choose himself, but is helped by Alyx, the girl he failed to save. This is not by chance because Alyx is honestly a stand-in for all the girls he failed to save (Pyrrha and Penny) and the one he did/will (Weiss and Cinder).
Alyx's role in Jaune's arc this volume is Pyrrha's role in the whole series. Jaune failed to save Pyrrha, but Pyrrha is the one who gives him the chance to grow and to become the man he wants to be.
Alyx leaves something behind, just like Penny did, in order to help someone else. Penny leaves the powers to Winter, while Alyx leaves her knife to Jaune.
Weiss and Alyx are the 2 characters, who help Jaune the most this volume. Weiss starts the process Alyx ends. It is thanks to both of them if Jaune is able to move on.
Alyx has an off-screen redemption arc. She starts the story by trying to kill Jaune, but in the end she saves him. I think Cinder will have a similar trajectory, just not with Jaune, but with the world as a whole.
Jaune's arc is to let go of his knight persona to integrate his feminine parts and bloom into a maiden able to inspire others, like Ruby and Pyrrha are. This is why it makes sense he is saved by the one he seizes up as the damsel in distress. As for the focus on Alyx, compared to the other and more important girls, the reason is simple. Volume 9 is the story of the Rusted Knight. RWBY as a whole will tell us the story of Jaune arc. Alyx gives Jaune a conclusion to his struggles in the Ever After. His struggles in Remnant are still to be finished.
I also think Jaune's journey through the 7 metals of alchemy keeps going:
Lead > Vale - he is rough around the edges and his armor is gray and juxtaposed with Pyrrha's gold
Tin > Mistral - he integrates Pyrrha's metal and changes his armor
Iron > Atlas - he changes hir armor once again and becomes more self-assured and competent
Copper > Ever After (more or less) - Copper is the most perfected of the base metals and is associated with Penny (a copper penny). Jaune as Iron fails to save Copper and this leads him to stagnate. Hence his armor gets rusted
Mercury (?) > Vacuo (?) > I think Alyx's dagger helps Jaune transition from Iron to Mercury, which is the first of the 3 refined metals
Tumblr media
The light of Jaune's transformation looks to me like neither gold nor silver, but a different kind of gray and by the end of it, Jaune is back to his old self. Or almost:
Tumblr media
He gains white hair (wisdom) and shows she has done another step into integration. I think next volume he will have some interaction with Mercury (the character associated with the Metal) and will finally become gold.
Neo - I think Neo's arc is ironically the most complete by the end of the volume. This makes sense because it is overall far less complex than the others. That said, she still gets a beautiful conclusion. Her saying goodbye to Torchwick and choosing to ascend in a way which mirrors Ruby (Ruby does so out of a self-destructive wish, while Neo does it in order to change) were both beautiful.
WBY - Despite getting their far share of screentime, I think WBY did not make great progresses this volume. Personally, I think Weiss and Blake's arc are almost over and their roles will mostly be to assist other characters. That said, both have their own moments:
Weiss has a mini-arc, where she starts grieving Atlas and mad at herself and ends accepting her own failure and healing, in order to help Jaune. She also grows strong enough to summon her Nevermore, which commens her team's state of mind. She summons the wings while fighting alongside Blake and Yang and is finally able to summon the whole thing when Ruby finds herself once again.
Blake gets a top off with Yang. She is the one who invites Yang to open up and validates her feelings immediately. Apart from this, she simply shows her positive development this volume and gives us a hint of how much she has grown.
Yang is the one I see having still a little bit to go together with Ruby. Personally, this volume felt like set-up and foreshadowing of the pieces she still has to take care of:
Jinxy's asking for "the feeling of being loved" is left unexplored. It clearly hints at Yang's vision of love as conditional.
Yang seeing Ruby's suicide attempt and her feelings over letting her go are definately gonna be elaborate more later on.
Whatever happened between Summer and Raven is definately going to be important for her.
FORESHADOWING THE ENDING
Volume 9 probably foreshadows the ending. Specifically:
The Tree is the Gods (not in a literal sense)
Salem is the CC
Neo is Cinder
The Tree and her Fruits
The Tree is the Mother of the Gods (Mother Tree indeed). This makes sense with the alchemical journey the characters are going through. After all, this volume was a part of the yellow phase (Citrinitas) and what is the archetype associated with this phase, exactly?
The Wise Man/The Wise Woman also known as the Great Mother
Psychologically, Citrinitas is the first step into self-actualization, which is actually realizing you do not overlap with your parent, but are your own person.
This once again can be applied both when it comes to the macrochosm and to the microchosm:
Ruby starts the journey to become her true self by choosing herself over Summer
The Tree is the Mother of the Brothers themselves and we discover Darkness and Light are in a journey of self-actualization, as well
I am expecting a final meeting between RWBY and the Gods in the finale, but with an opposite end-result. The Tree here teaches RWBY the theme, while I think RWBY will teach the Gods the theme in the end. After all, the whole speech foreshadows this.
From the Brothers' endless fight:
Tumblr media
To Ruby finding balance within herself (microchosm):
Tumblr media
To RWBY as a whole representing a new found balance (macrochosm):
Tumblr media
To the 4 girls becoming full-fledged individuals (microchosm again):
Tumblr media
The sense is clear. From the 2 Dragons of Alchemy to the 4 Phases of alchemy, which will lead to the philosopher stone. Aka RWBY is gonna teach the Gods a new kind of balance.
Speaking of the Gods, I guess you can read the Curious Cat and the Jabberwalker as personification of them (they are their first creations, after all). Still, I also think the Curious Cat is a stand-in for Salem.
The Curious Cat (and the Jabberwalker)
The CC and the Jabberwalker are the 2 first creations of the Gods. They are both incomplete in the sense the CC is Knowledge without Choice, while the Jabberwalker is Destruction without Creation. This is why the CC is shown willing to change/transform, while the Jabberwalker is shown willing to "fix" something.
Interestingly, they are both killed by Neo, a human, and I do wonder if deep down this is what they needed to properly ascend and change. Sure, we are told the Jabberwalkers woul make it impossible for Afterans to ascend. Still, after this episode I am not so sure. Do Neo's Jabberwalkers work in the same way? Or since they are "not real" they will simply lead an Afteran to ascend? Just like her killing Little gives birth to Somewhat?
I mean:
Tumblr media
The bird the CC sacrifided to Neo's Jabberwalker seems to be the creations the Blacksmith is currently repairing, so... is it possible the CC and the Jabberwalker will get a new chance, as well?
This is more or less what I am expecting for Salem and Ozpin tbh.. just like... with death instead of ascension. I am expecting them both to move on and find peace. Similarly, I think Salem will get empathy, like the CC does, but also she is going to receive consequences and her position is gonna be framed as wrong. I mean, this is what happens to the CC:
Curious Cat: You are broken! You break everything you touch! Like all humans... Weak! Confused! Incomplete!
In the end, the Cat loses because they understimate humanity. They do not consider Neo's feelings, which force them to come out from her body. They also do not understand humans in general. They only see these creatures as breakable and frails, but fails to consider they are also able to heal and to fix their mistakes.
Personally, I think Salem will lose for the same reason. Not only will she understimate her enemies, but she will understimate her own humanity. She herself thinks she is not human anymore, but she is and this is something both the protagonists and Salem herself need to validate.
Finally, I think that thematically, the CC and the Jabberwalker also foreshadow 2 declinations of Destruction:
The Curious Cat was made to make sure the Afterans would change > Transformation
The Jabberwalker was made to finish Afterans once and for all > Death
A Destruction that leads to re-creation, a Destruction, which is an end.
Neo and Cinder
I think what happens to Neo here is similar to what will happen to Cinder. Personally, I think Salem is going to turn Cinder into a Grimm she can control. Still, Ruby will save her and Jaune will inspire her to make a final defining choice, which will help saving the world.
In short, I think helping saving Neo is a first step into the development, which will make Ruby and Jaune ready to save Cinder.
Jaune is the one who indirectly saves Neo, by burning the leaves to exorcise her from the CC
Ruby is shown to feel empathy for Neo and Neo is inspired by Ruby to try and change
In my opinion, the dynamic with Cinder will be inversed. Her experiences in the Ever After will help Ruby develop enough empathy for Cinder to save her. His experiences in the Ever After will make Jaune strong enough to inspire Cinder, when the time comes.
Neo herself is the one who kills the CC and later on she jumps into the Tree and makes a self-actualizing choice (she chooses she wants to change). I think Cinder will make a self-actualizing choice, which will lead in Salem's defeat. A difference is that as for now I think Cinder's choice will lead to her death. After all, this volume confirmed death is still an important theme for the series and for humans in particular:
Tumblr media
Alyx was killed by the Curious Cat and did not ascend, but died for real. And yet, her life was not useless as her actions help out Jaune and give him a second chance. This volume has no deaths (except the CC and the Jabberwalkers and even they could be ascending), but this is also because:
The Blacksmith: Yes, only Lewis returned home. The Girl Who Fell Through The World is the story as he wished it had happen.
A STORY YOU WISH HAD HAPPENED
The whole volume deals with grief and its different stages. Specifically it is also a metaphor of how fiction can help you deal with grief. This is why the protagonists find themselves in a fairy tale world.
Lewis wrote The Girl Who Fell Through The World to grieve the loss of his sister.
Summer read this same fairy tale to Yang and Ruby before disappearing.
This fairy tale then becomes symbolic of the process of grieving for Ruby and the other characters. It also becomes a mean for them to face their shortcomings in a setting, which is ironically not as dangerous as their home-world. This is especially true for Ruby, Jaune and Neo.
Ruby luckily goes through her depressive phase here, where drinking the tea-leaves brings her to the Tree to be fixed instead than just leading her to die. Not only that, but through the Tree and the Ever After she manages to make some progress in grieving both Penny and Summer:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jaune and Neo deal with their problems through entering their favourite stories.
Jaune steps into the story and plays the part of the hero
Neo comes into the story and starts adding parts to it and inventing characters (kind of like a fanfic-writer :P)
Both risk to lose themselves in the narration. Jaune gets stuck in the story for years and Neo symbolically is possessed by a character in the fairy tale. Both are also unable to leave for opposite reasons. Jaune has attachments in Remnant, but can't reach the tree. Neo can find the tree, but can't go through the door. Jaune can't stop playing his character and leaving the paper pleasers. Neo loses herself in her own fantasies. Both esplores fiction as escapism and its dangers.
And yet, in the end fiction is also what helps them both. Jaune is saved by the protagonist of the story (Alyx) and Neo is given the chance to use the magical world of the fairy tale to change.
This leaves us with the Curious Cat, who ironically is just the haters :P They hate the writers, the world and everything, but still must keep on reading because THEY MUST KNOW! They are also very smart and well informed, except they miss the main theme completely:
Curious Cat: Just more fairy tale nonsense!
Sure, Alyx's story is more complex than the fairy tale, but still the fairy tale stands true in its main ideas:
The Tree is the key to going home and finding yourself
Alyx in the end becomes a hero as her final act is not one of hate or selfishness, but of love and selflessness:
Blacksmith: When Alyx's life ended, she chose to leave a part of herself behind. A wish to fix what she had broken.
The same goes for Summer. She was not perfect, like Ruby believed. And yet she still loved her children completely. In the end, Summer saves Ruby. Not as a Huntress, but as a Mother:
Summer: I love you. Just the way you are.
A LITTLE GOOD
I'm not sure. I'd like to think we did at leas... a little good?
And they did. Ruby's small act of kindness in the beginning inspires little into wanting to become more and in the end, they appear changed into Somewhat.
Little is a highly symbolic character and Ruby and Somewhat's final meeting wraps up Ruby's progression beautifully. She doesn't know who she is exactly, but she also knows it is alright because she will figure it out. She doesn't need a fixed identity just yet. The transformation from Little to Somewhat also clearly marks Ruby leaving childhood and stepping into adolescence. Where things are not so simple. So black and white. And yet, it is also a phase of self-discovery and growth.
At the same time, Ruby's goodbye to somewhat shows us the progress she has made on the theme of grief.
On the one hand, RWBY describe Somewhat with attributes that fit Penny perfectly: a friend, a guide, a protector, adorable. On the other hand Somewhat's feelings for Ruby articulate what she herself feels about Summer:
Somewhat: You do feel... familiar. Like a happy dream I can't remember.
Red like roses fills my dreams
This volume Summer went from a dream haunting Ruby to one she can remember fondly and that can Guide Her Way.
Something similar happens with Jaune and Juniper:
Jaune: Will you look after Juniper? She means the world to me.
Juniper being called like Jaune's old team (with Pyrrha in it) and her being a she specifically sounds highly symbolic to me. Jaune's whole arc is centered around Pyrrha and I think that even if we still need to address several points, he has made some progress in grieving her and finding acceptance.
So, it is as a part of Penny and Pyrrha is left by Ruby and Jaune in the Ever After, as a precious part of their childhood and past, while they move forward. And are ready to grow more mature.
APPROACHING THE RED STAGE
Tumblr media
The group reaches Vacuo some time in the future and even if the sky is till yellow, the earth looks reddish. It seems we are saying goodbye to Citrinitas and approaching Rubedo, aka the final stage.

Thinking about heather x eddie bc I’m nothing if not a champion of rare pairs in this comm
But just the “god he’s so fucking LAME and CRINGE and EMBARRASSING I need him CARNALLY” energy is so intense. Heather who prides herself in being The Bitch™️ and boasting about how all the boys are thirsty for her but she’s Too Good for them realizing that she wasn’t into popular hot boys because her type was scrawny shaggy haired freaks with awful personalities and a huge gatekeeping streak.
Heather realizing that the only one who can go toe to toe with her in a vaguely toxic and absolutely mean argument about some asinine shit like A Movie or SoCiEtY is Eddie Fucking Munson and it’s also unbelievably erotic to her and being like “i need to kill myself IMMEDIATELY”
Heather and Eddie as Janet and frank n furter in a rocky horror production bc they’re both attention whores, both into music as a Serious Thing and Eddie just loves anything not mainstream and music related so like ofc he went in for it. And the whole thing quickly turns into a 2 man cats the musical orgy energy shitshow bc they both just get TOO INTO PERFORMING. She’s trying to act soooooooooo normal but sadly eddie on stage singing his heart out half naked is literally too erotic for her. The entire crews job turns into just keeping them from screwing back stage like the horny theater kids they are. Good thing too bc she’s always this close to giving him a bj and if she actually did she’d have to walk into the lake never to return.
She’s actively avoiding any place he’s preforming bc she cannot be held responsible for what she might do if she sees him on stage playing guitar and she doesn’t wanna be arrested.
Eddie realizing that the most popular girl in school (I stand by heather being the Main Bitch and Chrissy simply gaining her crown after her death) is HILARIOUSLY INTO HIM. LIKE ANGRY HORNY. And first being like wtf???? Before he sees the opportunity here for Evil and is immediately delighted. Decides it’s open season for revenge of several years of bullying but pointing out to her how she wants him sooooooo bad it makes her look stupid.
Eddie challenging her to read all of Tolkien’s works, and Heather who’s physically incapable of backing down doing it and coming back with notes like “fëanor is RIGHT actually, so is melkor. I cannot believe you like this pansy ass gay apologetics shit what are you catholic??” And he’s both LIVID ON SO MANY LEVELS but also WILDLY AROUSED. There’s just something about a hot popular chick confidently having the most vile takes on his cringe exclusionary nerd shit that gets him hard. He’s horrified by this fact but also knows she wants him bad anyway so like really it’s just a matter of self control and can his self-esteem/pride take it.
All of his friends hate her and he’s like “yeah 😍 me too 😍”
She gets roped into going to/preforming in Some Town Event oblivious to the fact he is too and that’s when she gets arc of the covenant’d with his guitar playing. Mind snaps. Will power gone. He’s the shittiest dude she’s ever met she doesn’t like him AT ALL but sadly he’s also the Perfect Man and she needs him IMMEDIATELY. Legit jumps him the SECOND she can.
The kinda ppl who’ll continue an argument during sex.
Eddie loving every second of little miss rich and popular being soooo down bad for him. Loving having this level of control over someone who’s usually so “out of his league”. Loving how he can turn her brain off and make her shut up like it’s a magic trick.
Eddie slowly realizing there’s parts of heather that she never shows to anyone but he’s gotten a peak of, intentionally or not, and getting kinda possessive of that.
Heather laying on his shitty gross ass bed listening to his music and taking it seriously and talking about it musical artist to musical artist.
Heather calling his dnd group shit like “his pathetic gay loser circle jerk” and he’s just like “baby I’m going to kill you with a brick 😍”
Heather bodily taking over his hair and skin care routine. Even brushing his hair sometimes and explaining it all for when she’s not there and he’s like “lol you know I’m not doing all that”

The Royal
❝I have to. It's my duty to serve the people of Oceanic.❞ ❝Listen to me. Ignore what everyone else will say. You are perfect the way you are. You are my everything, love.❞
Age: A month younger than MC
Race: Human
Gender: Male or female, depending on player choice
Pronouns: He/him or she/her, depending on player choice
Physical appearance: The Royal has slightly tanned skin due to intensive time spent in the sun, although their parents try their best to maintain the natural fair-pale shade. They have a heart shaped face framed by wavy red hair, either tamed or tied up in a bun with two small strands on the side. Soft brown eyes that can go cold at a poor choice of words and freckles dotting their cheeks. 5'7" no matter the gender.
Trope(s): Forbidden love, impossible love, royalty, [REDACTED]
As the heir to the throne of Oceanic, the Royal has a heavy weight on their shoulders that they cannot shake off—the expectations of the people and their parents often reminds them of their duty to deliver responsible decision for the betterment of the kingdom. For most of the week, they are cooped up within the castle walls, fulfilling their tasks as the one next in line. However, during a small portion of the day where their schedule is empty, the Royal will always go to visit their private shore by themself. A tradition they have upheld since they were young.
In public appearances, the Royal comes off as an understanding, charming, mature young adult—exactly what everyone expects from the heir. All warm smiles and dimples. But behind closed doors, the fake smiles drop and shoulders slacken. The fire in their eyes never goes out but they allow themself to be exhausted. Just once.
Their idea of relaxing is by standing in front of the waves, shoes off, and enjoying the smell of salty air and water. A servant usually has to come and fetch them, as they do not keep track of the time. And recently, they have been going more often due to undisclosed reasons... as well as sneaking off to town to do gods-know-what.
There have been rumors circulating around them, particularly involving [REDACTED]. Are they true? Are they not? You will have to wait until it is announced.
Chance encounters are life-changing. You don't think you would have ever noticed the Royal had it not been for Cordelia and K. And more importantly, you do not think you would have ever met them on the streets without your...unique circumstances. Little had you realized then the potential to gain a powerful ally, as well as a lifelong friend.
Fun Facts About the Royal:
There is so much lore I want to write down about them, but they would all be major spoilers for the game! So for now, take this condensed, somewhat short intro post for now. But expect to see some huge updates to this as further chapters are released!
Also would you call them "Lou"? Been thinking about an easier nickname besides "The Royal" and it's pretty cute! Though they are accustomed to everyone calling them by their first name
Their original design was going to be heavily inspired by Prince Eric from the Little Mermaid. However, it was changed to an appearance similar to Ariel. Maybe your headcanon is that he's Ariel's son or grandson? That's what mine is lol
Has a very refined taste for red wine. Likes it especially from their own kingdom but imported tastes are good too
Loves drawing. And because they live right by the sea they have a lot of sunset sketches and swirls of water in their notebook
Has a diary where they write down about their day; if you romance them you'll probably find long romantic tirades about you
Actually likes wearing crowns if it is light and only in the castle
Sheltered kid growing up—while their parents may have exposed them to monarchy politics early in their life they remained relatively naive and unaware of certain...things
Things that will remain unmentionable
Knows some secret passageways within the kingdom due to safety reasons, but they may show it to you if you are lucky enough!
Stuffed animals creep them out and they are all over the walls of the castle thanks to their father's love for hunting
No, not stuffed animals. Like actual taxidermy
Deathly allergic to gossipy people and mice—physically wilts at the mention of either one
Would buy you anything you want just to please you. This will especially show during the crushing stage, but it will be a habit that never dies down *if* you get married
Can resist puppy eyes with a huge question mark. But usually not because they are a major people pleaser. It comes with their job

@headstrongblake said: [ TEN ]  for receiver to collapse in sender’s arms after using their abilities. / alec & nick? o?
who knew what happened to the others when hydra found them, when they were all driven into smaller groups and forced to split up. alec held tightly onto kassy's hand as they followed quickly behind nick, nate bringing up the tail end of their group. bullets echoed through the halls as they tried to escape this labyrinth of a place they had managed to get themselves into. fear ran through alec and he could sense kassy's too despite the way she looked intensely forward. he didn't want to go back and he couldn't imagine his friends being injured, hurt, captured or killed.
c'mon, this way, nick ordered as they turned down a hallway only for them all to come screeching to a halt. alec and kassy both grunted as they were forcefully stopped by nick's arms that went out at his sides. there, down at the other end of the hall alec recognized the man standing there. tall, blonde and those sapphire eyes that seemed like a vacant void. this had been who rev had been searching for, only he didn't look as if he was going to help them. "get back!" nate told alec and kassy as he came to stand beside nick, the two first taking out the hydra agents on either side of the man. they had been armed but he.. wasn't.
"that man..." alec said in a shaky tone, "he's like me, like rev..." he swallowed as the man slowly began to advance towards them in an eerie unwavering manner, he hadn't even flinched when the bullets mowed down the agents at his sides. "he doesn't look friendly," nate muttered, "should we shoot?" he asked nick as they slowly began to back up. the man continued towards them. "stop!" alec called to hunter, "we're on your side! we're with rev!" but the words didn't seem to penetrate. "with ryan!" he tried again but nothing. "he's not stopping...." nate announced the obvious, urgency in his tone as his hands tightened on his gun.
when nick then tried to slow him down, a bullet through the thigh, the shoulder, kassy backed away, "he's still not stopping," she said, fear leaking into her voice as the two men then let bullets fly. hunter staggered once or twice but as the bullets entered him they were spit out moments after, wounds closing. "uh... guys..." nate began as he tossed his empty gun away now. "i think we should run," he muttered before they turned and took off down another hallway. and as they turned the corner they heard what sounded like a pained snarl coming from behind them and what was once a man was now a beast.
kassy screamed as nathan grabbed her and alec's wrist to make sure they kept up while nick fired off his last few shots. fuck! he heard from behind him followed by the clatter of nick's empty gun which wasn't a good sign. go, go, go! the large wolf like monster was gaining on them and it was only a matter of time before the space between them was gone. alec's eyes grew glossy with fear but he yanked his arm free from nate, causing the group to skid to a hault. "ALEC!" kassy screamed as he stood in the middle of the hall.
his heart raced in his chest as watched the beast barrel towards him but he raised his hands, taking a focused breath before using all the power he had mustered up inside him as huge root like vines broke through the walls and floor in an explosion, weaving together into an impenetrable wall, separating the beast from them. sweat beaded down his brow as the vines continued to weave thicker and sturdier until there wasn't so much of a tiny gap between them all. a snarl was heard on the other side when they stopped, locking into place and alec let out a soft, shaky exhale, turning towards the group with a weak smile, hands trembling at his sides before exhaustion hit him like a wave and he fell.
kassy cried out, reaching for him but with nick closer by his side, he scooped him into his arms. i got him, he reassured her as ran to join them. "damn, that little guy did all that?" nate said as he gave a breathless laugh in astonishment but they didn't linger, the three of them continuing to book it down the hall before trinity teleported in front of them. kassy nearly screamed again, gasping in surprise. "oh good," trin began though her eyes went to alec in nicks arms and concern flashed across her face. "this way, you're almost out," she informed them as she turned the corner down the hall.

hii!! LITERALLY loved all your other writings and thank you so much for writing my requests, lovely! I was wondering if you could write a yandere indra with a fem, medic! Reader who is super stubborn? like she never gives any attention to his advances or him whatsoever? Since she's a medic, she's constantly busy healing people to pay attention to him?
once again, thank you sooo much for answering my other requests, take your time, hun<3.
Once again another nice and awesome request! I am happy you and many others enjoy my writings. Your kind feedback encourages me to write moreeee! I got carried out a little so I hope it's okay!
Enjoy reading and I hope you enjoy it. Feel welcome to request more<3
Tumblr media
It was UNHEARD for the great Indra Otsutsuki, the genius of ninshu, to get wounded. He knew he was perfect and no man could hurt him. Except his brother who has gained their father’s powers.
Indra got wounded during one of the many battles with his younger brother, Ashura. He was careless and suffered a huge blow to his chest, leaving a nasty scar. Of course, Indra did not care about having any scars, because in his mind, a great warrior should have scars to show the battles he came out winning. Unfortunately, he was bleeding a lot, so he had to retrieve.
In the small village, which he founded himself, he had one specific medic who was able to heal any wound, and even heal the scars. Y/n, under Indra’s HARSH training only was able to gain perfect skills, and she realizes it too, that's why she is always ready to help him, hoping to repay back the kindness he showed her. 
Y/n knows that Indra has feelings for her. Even her friends and elders keep telling her that, but Y/n does not care. She finds chasing such matters futile and childish, and if Indra himself isn't talking about it, then she won't as well. Also…Y/n already has someone else whom she likes. Her childhood friend who is fighting alongside Indra in his wars. Of course, she did not confess, but hopes to have that opportunity one day.
“That’s a terrible scar, My Lord” Y/n spoke calmly as she entered the small tent, where Indra was already in, his upper part of kimono down, showing his broad shoulders and the terrible wound he had. It pained Y/n seeing Indra wounded, but she knew he HAD to fight. He had a very logical reason too so she didn't mind. As long as she was able to help him, she was happy.
She was carefully cleaning the blood and then healing Indra, not looking at his face. However, she felt his eyes on her, how they were studying her every move. For Y/n, Indra was a VERY intimidating man. He was cold, while the man she liked was radiating kind and warm energy. Y/n was trying not to pay any attention to her curious mind, to know why he was always so cold, but she 
“There. The wound is healed, my Lord” Y/n said, standing up and looking at his face, which was derived from any emotions. She could never know what's going in that man’s mind, but part of her did not want to know as well. She was just doing what she had to, and whatever he was thinking did not matter. “Thank you, Y/n” he mumbled, getting up and wearing his kimono back. She bowed to him, ready to leave when Indra grabbed her hand, turning her to look at him.
“Thanks for healing me. Take a day off. You are working too much.” he spoke. Y/n was taken back, considering Indra not only never told ehr to rest, but he never thanked her for doing what she vowed to do. She looked at him, and for a moment she saw his eyes soften, a sight she had never seen. 
“Thank you, my lord. I am not tired frankly, but I will finish my work earlier today” she said. Indra nodded, slowly letting go of her hand and walking out of the tent.
From that interaction, Indra was ALWAYS watching her, checking her out, following her actions with everyone. He would even try to strike more conversations with her, but Y/n was always cutting them short. To be a little more romantic, as one of his soldiers advised, Indra was giving her a few gifts such as flowers and beautiful jewelry, but Y/n was not accepting any of them. 
 It’s true that Indra already knew what type of a woman Y/n was, what were her likes and dislikes, what she even desired to have in her lifespan, but for some reason she was not accepting him and his efforts. He found out that Y/n liked one of the soldiers in his army, someone who’s energy reminded him of his own younger brother. The fact that Y/n likes him, makes Indra rage. Why him? Why not Indra? After all he is strong, handsome, full of drive and just has the means to take care of her and give the world to her. Indra found himself having ideas about killing that man with his own hands, just so he can have Y/n all by himself. That fantasy of him is another reason he was always taking that man with him to the battlefield. Every time he got wounded, the idea of him dying was getting more embedded in Indra’s mind. Maybe, he really did want that man dead, to get closer to Y/n. 
Indra’s mind got clouded with dark thoughts more when he saw Y/n and him talking together, her laughing and having slight blush. She was never this carefree around him, she never smiled or even laughed, but with him she was like a fully different person. It made Indra angrier and more jealous. He became even more determined to get her to himself. She belonged to him.
That same night, Indra walked to her house, his mind already playing the plan he had. He did hold his urges, his words and ideas for a very long time, but from now on, he will act upon them. It's about the damn time. When he reached in front of her house, he did not even care to knock. He made his way in her house, catching Y/n by surprise.
“M-My Lord..?! What are you d-doing here..?! I-I was not expecting you…!” Y/n spoke, visibly shocked from seeing Indra in her own house, uninvited. 
Indra looked at her, not caring about her shock. “I have something IMPORTANT to discuss with you, Y/n. And you better NOT disturb me, because the moment you open your mouth, I will shut you up.” he said. Y/n was taken back more by his usage of words. What has gotten into him…?
“You have been ignoring my feelings for quite some time now. You KNOW I do like you, ever since you set foot in this damn village Y/n. I tried to be nice, to respect you and not pursue you as hard as I would usually do. Everyone knows that I like you, even that loser of a guy for whom you have feelings for. Every person, every elder in this village KNOWS you are MINE. Everyone…but YOU apparently.” he spoke, walking closer to her. His sharingan was activated now, making Y/n feel more intimidated. “Why is that so hm? What does that guy have that I don’t huh? He is not as strong as me, not as handsome as me and not as respected as me! so why do you like him BUT NOT ME…!?” 
Y/n has never heard him talk like this ever. He was always reserved, not talkative and just minding his business. She wished she did not have to talk about her feelings and explain them, but if it meant getting him off her back she would do it. “My l…Indra, I have a very specific reason to like him. He is a kind man, easy to talk with and overall a good man. I have liked him for a long time and I am not ashamed of it. You lack the kindness he has, you lack his ability to communicate! Don’t you think I know how you look at me, stalk me?! You want to be honest, so I will be. I don't like you and your feelings for me do not matter in my eyes. I am healing you and others every time they need it ONLY because I feel a need to repay you back for the kindness you have shown me! I don’t owe you anything, I am allowed to like who I want and YOU are not who I like. So please, leave me alone. I want to be with someone else and NOT you” she spoke, her eyes full of determination and hope that he would leave her alone.
Indra felt angry from her words. How could she be so shameless, rejecting him after all he did for her. Coming out of his comfort zone for her, but not being appreciated. Y/n’s behavior hurt him more than all the things he had witnessed in his life. “Y/n…If this is what you want and feel, then you are leaving me NO choice….” He spoke, grabbing her face and making her look in his eyes. “I get what and who I want. And now…I need YOU. I tried to be nice with you, to be romantic, to strike up more conversations with you just so you would want me. But you really picked the WRONG way. If I cannot have you…then I will force you to be with me. Say BYE to your memories about that man because from this point on, you will have eyes only for me, your mind will have images only of me and you will belong ONLY to me” he spoke as his eyes glowed dangerously. Y/n felt danger, but it was already too late to do anything about it. She felt her consciousness slowly leaving her and her body going limp. “Now…you are MINE. Only MINE Y/n”

My GodzillaXKong review *SPOILERS!*
So I went to see godzilla x kong yesterday and omg, this was probably the wildest and craziest godzilla movie yet! There was so much kaiju action cramped into this movie and all of it great. There was so much kaiju action in fact that is was hard to take it all in. a lot of insane stuff happens in this movie that you would not normally see in a monster movie. The movie is indeed very much showa godzilla era vibes, a lot of mythical ancient tribal elements in it. the closest movies I can compare it too is the 1960s mothra vs godzilla movie and the godzilla vs megalon movie. I think this movie is visually stunning, I liked how this movie explored more of the hollow earth and gave us a lot more creatures and environments to make this world feel more alive and I liked the crystal temple area of the Iwi tribe.
I actually really liked kong in this movie because he had a lot more emotion and personality then any of the other previous monsterverse movies and you get a sense of connection with him. With godzilla even though he's not in the movie much, still all his scenes are pretty awesome too, he mostly has these short fights scenes with other monsters for him to gain more power and his rematch fight with kong in cairo is pretty insane, a lot of wacky stuff happens that you don’t normally see in a kaiju fight. I do wish godzilla and kong had teamed up earlier in the movie so they would have more time with each other. Skar king was a great villain, they put a lot of personality into him, he was just one of those villains that is very charismatic and loves being an asshole. Suko is actually a little shit in this movie, I was expecting him to be just this little cute baby ape that people can fawn over, but no he isn’t. At one point in the movie he attacks kong and by the end of the movie he actually stands up to skar king and attack him too. I thought shimo was a pretty good monster, I liked that she was not a true villain in the movie, but more of a kaiju that was being abused and controlled by skar king and that they don’t kill her off at the end. And then of course mothra, I kind of knew she was going to show up in the movie before hand because of spoilers leaks on the internet, but I loved her appearance in the movie. She is not just there for no reason, she does serve a purpose in the movie, mainly to just get godzilla and kong to stop fighting each other and help in the final fight in hallow earth and I’m glad at the fact she does not die at the end.
I thought the human characters were fine, I was not expecting to get a huge amount of screen time with the human cast and I was not expecting the movie to go too much in depth with them because that is not what this movie is for. The best character I thought was actually trapper, he was a very charismatic fun kind of guy. He was pretty much the steve irwin of this movie, as he kind of an animal naturalist for the monsters in this movie. Jia was still good in this movie even though she didn’t have has many scenes interacting with kong. Ilene was just okay as she just served her purpose in the movie. Bernie I didn’t really care for, he started out being funny but as the movie went along he just got annoying because he just wouldn’t shut up and ruined certain scenes.
Some complaints I do have about this movie are I do think it was a bit too rushed, especially with the final battle and the movie kind of ends too quickly. I do wish godzilla was in it a bit more, he just felt more like a plot device just to help kong in the final fight of the movie and not much character development was given to him as it was with kong. And like I said, I wish godzilla and kong had teamed up earlier in the movie so we would get to see them play off each other more. But overall, I had a good experience watching this movie and I would want to watch it again later on.

ROUND 1C, MATCH 11 OUT OF 16!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Propaganda Under the Cut:
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure:
It technically doesn't play a Cinderella role despite its name, rather it has Fairy Godmother-like abilities. However, its name is still Cinderella so I think it counts.
Persona 5:
[Mod's Note: Warning for Persona 5 spoilers]
Her Persona is Cinderella. Her story is about disguising herself as another person to gain acceptance.
Her persona is Cendrillon, the French name for Cinderella and the name of an opera based on the story, and it mirrors her arc in the game. When you boil her down to the essentials, she essentially made a wish that was granted by her....... fairy godtherapist to go from pauper (bland and talentless depressed Sumire) to princess (her dead sister Kasumi, bubbly, personable star gymnast). As far as she sees it, even, it's this transformation that helps her 'get the prince' (read: befriend the protagonist). Why should she win, though? Umm because she's my baby my angel my sweetie my cherub specialist character in fiction and most important girl in the universe. Out of love in your heart for me, tumblr user [REDACTED], vote for her.
GOD I LOVE HER SO MUCH ok ok ok everyone here's my autism. Major spoilers as you get closer to the end btw! - She has three personas, in order they go: Cendrion, Vanadis, Ella. The first and last are taken from Cinderella, with Cendrion being the german name for Cinderella, and of course Ella just being a shortened form of Cinderella. - She does gymnastics, although a lot of her phantom thief design is heavily based off of ballet as well! In particular the black swan mimicking the white swan, and while of course that's not cinderella, it does remind me of how Cinderella was treated in the beginnings of the story - Cinderella and her both have major sibling trauma! It's a huge point about her character. Major spoilers, but she pretends to be her older sister Kasumi for most of the game; the sad truth is that she's in fact the younger sister Sumire. She's pretending to be her older sister because she can't deal with the trauma of that day she ran out into traffic and her sister got hit instead of her. (It does not help that her therapist uses eldritch god powers to gaslight her into thinking she is her sister.) - They're both pretty and also I love sumi so much she's everything to me. unironically the character of all time NOT FOR PROPAGANDA but for mod: image because it can be awkward to find one: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/UyOsg26GnZU/maxresdefault.jpg also!!!! if you're interested in not potentially spoiling people you should call her Kasumi Yoshizawa. If you aren't worried about that though and want to be accurate, Sumire Yoshizawa is better. Or just call her Violet because that's her codename!
Initially introduced as Kasumi, she is a dorky and sweet first-year student who looks up to the protagonist as a mentor and eventually joins the Phantom Thieves in figuring out the fake reality they're trapped in. However, it's revealed that she's actually Kasumi's sister Sumire, who was always stuck in her more talented sister's shadow and yearned to be Kasumi. Unfortunately, she got her wish when her sister died saving her and her therapist brainwashed her into believing herself to be Kasumi. With help from the protagonist, Sumire realizes she was holding herself back and breaks free from her false identity, embracing her true self and rebelling against the hollow utopia. Her initial Persona--an embodiment of her true self--is Cendrillon, and her third tier ultimate Persona is Ella.
Sumire dosen't just pretends to be her dead sister, she was brainwashed into believing to be her by the final act's main villain/her fairy godfather figure, because that was her (misguided by trauma) wish as she believed that her sister was better than her. The final acts has a lot of 'making wishes come true' theme that connects her to Cinderella even more, also she does have a bit of 'save by the prince' thing going on with the game's protagonist

Guyssss...
Okay, babe, deep breath.
Done?
Good.
Let's roll
WTF is happening? I swear to god a month ago I was checking this hashtag for updates like my life depended on it, and I had great plans for my wip's and everyone was making predictions about what the vault might contain.
Then I tell myself to start making some headway with my studies because exams are breathing down my neck and I (somehow) manage to keep away from this fandom that has been my life and blood for so long. AND ALL HELL BREAKS LOSE!!
Now we know that there are THREE books related to this fandom coming out this year and we might get Toby and Hannah and I'm so excited!
But there are two characters who have my undivided attention atm and I want to talk about them!
So now we have all the main characters, I'm so thrilled that Rohan is one of them because his story is so intriguing to me and it also adds to some much needed Indian or Pakistani (though most prob Indian) representation.
Just think about the kind of background he must have come from, let that blow your mind!
I know that he is going to have a real tragic backstory. Think something involving childhood abandonment or abuse or (most probably) separation from his loving family, coming to London, being faced with the HUGE cultural shock and the nail biting cold and relentless rain. Add to this: making sense of the weird accent. Being picked off the street to do some odd work for the Devil's Mercy. Slowly getting to know it's secrets and rising among its ranks till he reached Factotum. Falling for Zella (first love, maybe?), having his heart broken.
AND THEN HAVING HIS TITLE STRIPPED AT THE END!
CAN YOU FEEL THE BAD BLOOD ENERGY RISING?
'cause baby now we got bad blood...
I also believe that often things are not so one dimensional and that Zella is nothing short of deserving the position. She has undeniably had her struggles with gaining the power she now holds and being a woman of colour in a royal household. But I'm focusing of Rohan here, maybe I'll make a detailed post about Zella sometime later?
These are all only theories, but I can't help thinking that it's going to be something along these lines.
And then there's the fact that Jameson is not going to be a main character (*crying emoji cause I cant seem to insert one of the proper size*) Like he has so many unfinished threads and so much family drama to sort out.
We never got to see an independent confrontation of Ian over how he used Jameson to get what he wanted, or anything about the Prague mystery!!
And I know this might be a bit controversial with some of you, but I really want to see him and Avery fight. Because ofc they are a power couple and express their love to each other in such creative ways. BUT, but you get to know so much about a character when you see their world shifting, when the one thing that they believed to be an anchor is uprooted. How they act when the other is out of orbit. AND WE SIMPLY HAVEN'T SEEN THAT FOR JAMESON. I also might be holding out for a very hot romantic make up later on, but my point stands.
So there's my little (rather late) bit, but still.
Also to those who have read my work and have been so kind to shower me with kudos and comments, I want to apologise profusely. There is a lot to come, but just not at this moment when exams are leeching the life out of me, and trust me when I say I have the most elaborate plans for the future!
Like always, can't wait to hear all your brilliant thoughts. Have a good day/night (depending on whatever time zone you guys are in)
Also please check out Lockwood and Co if you have the time because it's something that I can't stop thinking about and would love to talk about. As an added bonus, one of the mc is kinda like Jameson (and that's how you know I have a type)
