Blue stops liking mountain climbing.
im honestly just writing a draft here so don't be too surprised to find it in a fic of mine in the future 😂
i really wanted to write how Mt Silver was NOT a good experience for Blue.
i like to think during his journey, he was an adventurous little bastard who explored caves in the dead of night and climbed mountains during the sweltering summer. that was until he found Red at Mt Silver. where every pokemon is trying to kill him, the rocks/boulders are sturdy then brittle the next, the snowstorm is unyielding, and the air sounds like sirens and songs for the doomed. not to mention, Red is there and refuses to move, prefers to make a home here, away from every person sane enough to think that’s a death sentence. maybe that’s why he’s here, or maybe he thinks this hell cave was better than what’s out there, what’s back at home, so what the fuck is that supposed to mean?.
red might die here, he can't feel his legs, red chose to abandon them, every inhale are tiny knives flying into his lungs, red refuses to acknowledge what he's left behind, it's a long walk back home -
it’s bad feelings all around, too overwhelming for him. Mt Silver is a terrain deemed too dangerous that it's mostly closed off to the public, Blue can't help but think that Red might perish here. that’s why every time Blue braves the mountain, it feels like Mt Silver is killing him too. it takes all of his bravery and stubbornness to not turn back. 
when Red eventually comes down, Blue tries to forget about all that but his family’s noticed how he’s stopped going mountain climbing, or cave exploring, or just frolicking in the snow in general. How he starts to prefer the city life and high fashions of Kalos, only doing field research around mountain areas when he has to. He doesn't mean to be so repulsed, it’s just that he feels like the temperature plummets and the floor starts to spin at the thought of the uncaring snow and endless darkness. it feels like all of those bad feelings resurface and are just mixing in his stomach. he doesn't mean to, he likes quiet sunrises and colorful sunsets atop a mountain, he doesn't mean to but it happens. It sucks.
,/
i'm so slow at writing but i'm also so excited to just talk about stuff so it's just idk!!! 😭😭 here's a part of the draft for this!!!! pardon the format im sprinting rn!!!!!!

Disturbed partner
So close in body you appear to be, yet so far in mind.
Hidden in plane sight, hidden in the labyrinth of life.
Our trail of solitude is burning, beloved why?
The cold and its blizzarding sensation surrounds me.
You can walk with me, but instead you choose to burn.
There is a wall on the other side of our lovely trail.
Did you build it? You can come out, I wont hurt you.
I know you care about me.
Don't ask such silly questions, I am your friend, and your lover.
We are in this together.
The trail and its surroundings began to burn brighter.
As blue as the overshadowed blizzard, the fire raged.
You are not hurting me, trust me. There is no greater warmth than yours.
Open yourself to me.
The grass needles from which rested above the soil of the trail, shrivelled.
I met your family, while you were away. I thought they would know, but never mind that.
When my work ends, I am welcome by the silence of our home.
One room I am prohibited from. The one room that cries at night, and slumbers at sun wake.
If you let me sit in the dark with you, even that is enough. I will forfeit all my hardship to burn with you.
I wish you could see my truth more clearly.
Oblivion forsakes, and encircles. Oh, I so wish not to be widowed by the voices of your past.
Love, I am here. The day you come out, the day I see your beautiful face again, we will see a light greater than the sun.
But I was too late. The trail was lost. I became the widow.
You burned. I froze. We died contrary to each other, but ended up as lost as one another in the end.
-
I wrote this by inheriting the perspective of a powerless lover, who’s partner is burdened by C-ptsd.
This text is an allegory, in and amongst the many metaphors. Cliche, unjust, or otherwise… All I know is that I enjoyed writing it. It flowed, and flowed; I hope it doesn’t drown those who read.
Polar bear.

Okay I’m too tired to keep listening to Dark Heir but I’ve got a whole bus ride home so I’m going to spin Black Butler thoughts at you all.
(Idk how coherent this is, I’m sorry if it’s rambly my brain is SO dead but it wants to Talk so)
I’m thinking about… the gradual build of Sebastian’s fear that he could actually lose Ciel, as we go:
The asthma attack in Circus Arc: not ultimately serious, but a danger to Ciel’s wellbeing Sebastian had not been aware of and cannot easily fix
The fight on the Campania, where Sebastian is very seriously injured himself, to the point where he’s in danger of losing Ciel to Undertaker because he can’t physically stop him from being taken,
Which leads into THIS fucking moment in school arc:
Tumblr media
which is entirely fueled by Sebastian’s fear that Undertaker will snatch Ciel out from under him, AGAIN, because he did it before
AND THEN GREEN WITCH ARC HAPPENS, where Sebastian gets within literal minutes of losing Ciel to the gas, and WOULD HAVE if Sieglinde hadn’t been there or hadn’t been willing to help them
And still in Green Witch Arc, even AFTER Ciel has physically survived, Sebastian nearly loses him anyway because he backslides so dramatically into a PTSD episode that it nearly voids their contract
All of which is why by the time you get to the Blue Cult Arc, Sebastian is so genuinely afraid he might not be able to protect Ciel that the scent of blood from a single needle prick makes him do. This.
Tumblr media
And now, with bizarre dolls getting ever more advanced and better at hiding from Sebastian’s senses and the whole police force mobilized against them, I’m very ready for Sebastian in Brighton to be doing everything short of wrapping Ciel in 19th century bubble wrap. I’ll frankly be shocked if he lets Ciel out of his sight for more than five minutes.
But the thing is. The thing is. Narratively, there isn’t much further you can ratchet up the stakes for Sebastian (at least until you get to the moment of truth with the contract and eating his soul, which is a different conversation). Ciel being put in danger or hurt again isn’t going to do all that much to alter their relationship at this point. Sebastian is already about as whipped as the poor guy can get.
What would be a change, is Ciel nearly losing Sebastian.
There’s been—for obvious reasons—much less risk and fear on that front. There has been some build for it:
Red Butler Arc, encountering reapers, Ciel sees Sebastian fight an enemy who can actually hold their own against him for the first time (and while I don’t think this is confirmed, I suspect Grell’s chainsaw eating his shoulder is the first time Ciel sees him get injured for real (as opposed to allowing himself to get shot and playing dead just for the sake of being a dramatic bitch))
Curry Arc, Agni successfully fights Sebastian to a tie (which is why I’m VERY interested to see if Soma turns back up in the Brighton arc as well, feat. angry Kali powers)
[The murder arc is a fake out, because Ciel knows he’s fine the whole time]
On the Campania, Ciel sees him get very badly injured. This is the one and only time Ciel has real cause to fear for Sebastian’s safety, as such.
And since then, while Sebastian isn’t quite untouchable, he hasn’t really suffered any serious injury or physical danger to himself. There have been defeats or fights that didn’t end perfectly for him—such as the school arc fight—but Sebastian hasn’t been existentially threatened. Ciel, I think, still has pretty high confidence that worst case scenario, Sebastian can always just pick him up and make a run for it (indeed, part of the reason things got so bad on the Campania was because they were trapped on a boat). And even if Sebastian couldn’t save him, Ciel—to the extent it’s even occurred to him—doesn’t have a lot of reason to think he couldn’t save himself.
This is now the second time Ciel has lost everything—his title, his name, his home, his safety, his dignity and respect. The first time was worse, obviously, but he’s got to be feeling the similarities.
The first time, Sebastian pulled him out of his despair by offering him the power to escape.
Now, the second time, he at least still has Sebastian by his side. A Sebastian who is going to be laser-focused on protecting Ciel from all possible threats.
But what happens if Ciel thinks he might lose Sebastian too?

Some Things You Aught to Know (this also the index)

“At the end of it all, what’s left of you?”
The long reaching ramifications of an alien invasion… it all starts here. After the Kraang were defeated, the boys have taken a back step from their usual activities to heal. Which has been surprisingly easy due to sudden lack of activity from their rogue gallery. At least, until Donnie disappears.
Hi! Welcome to the side blog that hosts my comic, Residuum. This little brain baby of mine was conceived in a dream my subconscious cooked up one night and then refused to leave me in the morning!

Hunter's sigil would've had to be removed before they got the Flapjack tattoos, right? Imagine how both procedures of the sigil removal and putting on the tattoo were for him, emotionally. Wouldn't have been a smooth ride.
Tumblr media
Like. The former right-hand man of the Emperor, who suffers from C-PTSD, sitting in this circle:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It began with us seeing him remove his mask, then the Golden Guard uniform, and finally the sigil along with (based on my observation) no more signature gold colour in his outfit which feels bittersweet to me, because as recently as Thanks to Them, he still wore that gold sweater.
It wasn't just a design choice made so that we could easily tell the characters apart, and it wasn't just because gold - or even the yellow as the primary colour of his cosplay outfit - was his "signature colour". To me it was because Belos still had a hold on him, psychologically. I suppose that's why in the epilogue, the striking red tattoo, subdued blue shirt, and apron felt so different, to intuitively tell us about the changes he made to become a new person.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
His arc involved beliefs and desires such as figuring out his own future, accepting friendship, love and even family after Flapjack chose him, feeling unfit to wear the sigil of the Golden Guard. Then there was the horrible high cost of wanting to figure out his own future (i.e. finding out he's a copy of another person, Belos returning to violently snatch autonomy back from him, and leading him to harm and lose his best friend), and if we try to slot in the next puzzle piece: likely feeling undeserving of Flapjack's gift of love and life, before he chose to believe he did deserve those wonderful things.

Could you give us some good dadbastian fanfic? Oneshots, incomplete, completed anything really, i am starved and need some more food other than coattails(which i love very much!)
Hey there, thanks so much for being a Coattails reader! As an aside, I'm not sure if you're totally caught up or not, but sorry I don't yet have an idea of when the next part will be ready. I only have 4k words written so far and chapter 33 is looking to be another doozy... I'll be sure to keep everyone informed of when we're close 🫡
Anyway, I have no idea if you're like me when it comes to Dadbastian, but I'm pretty particular about what I enjoy. Angst has to play a factor in some form, for instance. I also don't like it when Ciel and Seb are too sappy with each other without it being earned. There's a reason Coattails had like 250k words of build-up before Sebastian actually accepted his Dadbastian fate.
With that in mind, here are my suggestions!
bottom of the deep blue sea by sunflowergiorno Easily one of my favorite Dadbastian fics, hands down. I remember going positively bananas waiting for the second part to come out. It's so gentle and tender and honest. It perfectly showcases the thoughts and feelings I'd hoped for Sebastian and Ciel to have to approach after their experience on the Campania. Words, Strings, and Butterfly Wings by Kimberly_T I love this story so dearly, and it's tragic that it's unfinished. This fic is a retelling of the Circus Arc, in which Ciel and Sebastian must actually pretend to be father and son, sometimes with hilarious results, other times endearing. A major inspiration behind Coattails for sure. I would die for Falco, an original character who to me is more endearing than any of the canon Noah's Ark cast members.
Dadbastian Week Drabbles by HeartLeftovers Nobody does angst like HeartLeftovers, and you'll drink up her poetic language like nectar. My personal favorite is Midnight, but read Magnifying Glass and Domesticated Wolf first for the full impact of the final stanza.
Sensorium by OtherCat Short but sweet. A story about how Sebastian helps Ciel at the beginning of the contract to stop thinking like a boy trapped in a cage. I love that it shows that Sebastian couldn't possibly have frightened Ciel into becoming an earl: he had to actually coax Ciel towards it.
Singing in the Silence by Kimberly_T Another one from Kimberly_T. Not strictly Dadbastian, but a story about the servants learning how to help Ciel with his PTSD in their very own inventive and roundabout way. Heart-meltingly adorable. It's canon to me, dammit.
Front Page News by TheArchaeologist Also not strictly Dadbastian (in fact, Ciel is incapacitated the whole time), but I only need the slightest reason to suggest this Phantomfam-centric fic. Mey-Rin's voice is especially realized. Even though you already know Sebastian, Snake, and Ciel will make it back from the Campania in one piece, you feel the Pham's worry palpably.
Through the Years by Kimberly_T Can you tell yet that I love Kimberly_T? Admittedly, this one I haven't read with perfect thoroughness, but I can tell you that the Dadbastian moments are peak. Ciel hires a new maid, a woman who nearly killed him when he invaded a brothel on a mission for the Queen. Please mind that this involves some discussions of SA. Also mind that the story largely centers around an original character, but no one does OCs like Kimberly.
ad perpetuam memoriam by redrobin1989 Only Dadbastian if you squint, but my god if you haven't read it yet go do it now.
I also have my Dadbastian week drabbles, Cutting Teeth, if you haven't read those! I hope that's given you some food for the time being. Eat up and enjoy!

My personal list of criticisms for the series because if I don't put these somewhere I will actually go crazy in my room within the panopticon. I thankfully saw some other people share their lists and here comes mine.
Here I'm looking back at the episodes with the perspective of the viewer who knows what has and has not been properly used.
I rewatched the whole thing so this is EP1 through EP8.
🔱 Episode 1:
The ADHD & dyslexia rep stops episode one like it was forgotten about. It will become a pattern.
I am very, very bitter about the introduction of the "not everyone who looks like a monster/hero is actually one" through Perseus' story because in the context of Percy's life, he is - at least in PJO - a hero. Don't make the boy doubt himself more.
If they did introduce the "looks are deceptive" idea, I fail to see why this was not alluded to later with Luke.
I feel like neither Nancy nor Mrs. Dodds are really given screen time enough to actually showcase how much of an impact both have on Percy's life.
I still hate everything they did to Gabe's character. RIP Sally's Jackson empowerment story.
Blue food. They never really explain why it's significant.
They had budget to showcase Percy's dreams but instead of obvious enough dreams with animals it's Exposition.
Sally knows too much. They messed up her role as a character by taking away her book archetype. She's going from The Guardian to The Knowledge Keeper to The Victim back and forth.
Percy figures out too much too quickly. It has been discussed back and forth, so just putting it down here.
They mention the Minotaur smelling Percy but they never use it to explain Sally's unnecessary marriage? Potential lost.
Looking back at the Big Bull fight, they really don't let Percy act. The luring trick is his thinking, not Sally's. RIP the horn getting stuck and torn away. I can't exactly believe a young teenager had the power to break off a giant horn, in the rain, in the dark. Bad execution, the tree trick is a way to showcase Percy's wits.
🏺 Episode 2:
I wish they let Percy be dark-haired desperately. Hair color swap is bad design-wise because there's already one recognizable curly-haired blond in the series (Will). It's just a disservice to the actor.
RIP blonde 'Beth. Annabeth being wrongly seen as a "dumb blonde" is half of her character's thing. If they thought it no longer worked for her, they needed to play off another "perceived stupidity" stereotype.
Ugh I wish they let Percy be alarmed around Dionysus because in the book his gambling & "familiarity with alcohol" trigger Percy's PTSD.
Percy's PTSD is not a thing.
So, after the entire season: They had no reason to hide Sally's survival from Percy. Them doing it never got mentioned again. Traumatize the boy some more why don't you.
Luke's speech about the importance of glory doesn't work because his failed quest is never mentioned.
I think Clarisse is a miscast. She's pretty whereas in the books it's sort of the whole thing that she's "big, ugly, and mean-looking". She's one of the examples of deceiving looks as we learn in SoM and later on. Making her pretty just makes her lose purpose.
RIP showing friendly interactions or any true bonding with Luke.
All of that talk about Annabeth's wits and strategies in EP2 only to have it never play a major role in the rest of the season. Told you it's a pattern.
🐍 Episode 3:
Annabeth's story keeps getting decimated. There's so much talk about her closeness to Luke, but there's no showing it.
Ugh, I dislike how they keep making Mrs. Dodds so neutral - enough to just tell Annabeth everything? This is a whole new character.
The Medusa reveal still sucks so much, the tension & suspense are just non-existent.
Upon rewatching, I'd say Medusa overall was a decent monster because she barely did anything but it felt like the entire story was offered up on a silver platter and got resolved too quickly.
"You can't ship the head off" makes no sense, none of Athena's arc makes sense in this show. They established that heroes earn glory through mighty deeds (such as killing monsters) and established that Athena cursed Medusa. Percy is for once right.
Overall, this is the episode where Percy's starting to take up the Exposition Character role and I really don't like that.
🌊 Episode 4:
RIP book Sally Jackson I loved you. Sally's starting to go down the "showing visual frustration towards her neurodivergent child" which is a) utterly out of character b) breaks down her arc even more.
The Furies, the Minotaur, and Medusa are not children of Echidna. The monster's great despite looking extremely boring, but her motivation being personal doesn't work in their specific case; they didn't kill any of her kids.
Small complaint but "a temple is a temple" isn't exactly making much sense. We just established Athena-Poseidon rivalry, we just announced that Athena's place is safe for everyone and protected from Poseidon's earthquakes. The idea to call upon a rival God sounds stupid.
Athena's portrayal is just horrible. She was written badly in the books, like most women, but the show's literally saying: Yeah she would gravely endanger her kid for the "mistake" that wasn't even hers. And... it is never brought up again.
Making Athena such a bad mother while Poseidon goes out of his way to save his child from death seems a bit eh.
I. Am. Tired. Of others. Telling Percy. How and what to feel! Please let the guy discover things on his own.
🏛️ Episode 5:
I will die on the hill of "Annabeth is not supposed to be the one to see the Fates and no, her closeness to Luke does not matter" especially when her and Luke's connection has been buried!
It's Percy's quest, it's his prophecy to handle, it's for him to witness the yarn being cut. It's for him to put things together. I do not get why they keep switching Annabeth and Percy's places in the plot.
So, the fugitive twist is abandoned and never handled again. This is a pattern.
It makes absolutely no sense for Annabeth to be talking back to Ares when she knows who he is and how powerful he is. They keep making her play Percy's part and him - play hers.
I mourn Annabeth's geekiness over architecture. The sole time she seems entranced by something that distracts her is Hephaestus' mechanical wonders which is engineering but not exactly book Annabeth's focus.
I am pretty sure Ares doesn't hate his children in the book, he's just a hard-to-impress dad that lets his children fight their own fights. Making him "hate his kids" added zero weight to his character.
Why is Percy mansplaining mythology to Annabeth.
"Seaweed brain" doesn't work when he just explained a myth to her while she stood there listening as if she has never heard it before.
Ares doesn't really have an impact on the three that he had in the books. This was supposed to be the moment Percy first learns his mom's alive. Since Ares was messed up later on too, I call it lost potential.
🎲 Episode 6:
There's no real reason to suspect Ares or Clarisse in the theft, that scene/realization are lazy cop-outs. They do not begin to suspect Ares unless they literally find the bolt.
Lotus Casino my detested. Worst case of "they already know it" that I've seen in this show. The Casino is meant to be a trap, they are not supposed to know where they are going.
Suspense is nonexistent. They literally figure out the lotus-eaters the moment they step into the place, this is boring!
"Wise Girl" doesn't work when they spent less time letting Annabeth talk the smart talk than Percy.
It has been said a multitude of times but the Casino is boring.
"If you don't know what chances do I have" pretty high ones because they've been writing you off as the wise boy, Percy.
Personal pet peeve: I heavily dislike Hermes' casting.
Hermes' scene is far, far too early in.
Arcades are not too old to put into a 2023 series, VR is lame.
Why is the "is it because of me?" scene so awkward, why are they making Grover feel guilty/implying he's guilty. It was literally not his fault.
Hermes' involvement is so messy, there's absolutely no reason for him to hold them back in any way.
THE SOLSTICE PASSING MAKES NO SENSE, IT DIMINISHES ALL STAKES, AND IT DOESN'T EVEN CHANGE ANYTHING
💀 Episode 7:
It has been discussed deeply but everything about Procrustes' scene was done with utmost laziness and letting him live when he was just proclaimed a murderer makes absolutely zero sense.
RIP Sally Jackson's entire character. Show Sally is not above stressing her 9 year old out, getting visibly annoyed by his "outbursts" (they are really tame), putting the blame on him instead of explaining things to him in a calm manner, and raising her voice at him. Not only is this directly polar to her book self, but it also finalizes the show's destruction of her character.
The Underworld: ugly, incomparable with the book's version, boring. All that CGI and they could only pull up a LOTR movie Isengard.
RIP court of Kings, RIP Fields of Punishment, RIP actual Asphodel Meadows, RIP Elysium. The Underworld is done lazily.
Sally Jackson would never let her child think she's getting rid of him. It baffles me that she's not explaining anything to Percy.
This is not Hades and you cannot at a gunpoint make me accept that this is the terrifying, glorious, intimidating God of the Dead that puts awe into Percy Jackson and terrifies his own child. This goofy mf is not Hades, this is clownery. Another utterly decimated character, entirely off-point.
"These grudges go on forever" is hilarious (/neg) to hear from a God whose children are canonically stated to hold grudges as a fatal flaw. They really can't get the single clearly depicted person right.
Percy single-handedly figuring out it's Kronos with no clues is undoubtedly the worst part of the whole season. Go home kids, there's no tension anymore.
I hate how little Annabeth matters in this show. Her tie to Luke is severed, Percy does her job retelling the myths, she's not obsessive about her interests, and she's not even there with them when the biggest revelations are made. Her sole function is carrying the invisibility cap around (and apparently her friends can't even explain that to Hades). The show has killed Annabeth as a character and it's sad.
⚔️ Episode 8:
Sword lessons are far too late in the season, they would do much more impact building Percy and Luke up if they happened earlier.
I know that in the book Ares' curse is largely forgotten about, but they could have easily included it into the fight.
I feel like Percy has never been explained that monsters don't exactly "die" because not once does he seem surprised that Dodds is back.
Olympus is ugly!
The whole Luke reveal is a mess. Percy jumps to the conclusion far too fast, his sole direct argument it is Luke is the shoes, but he realistically has no other reason to assume Luke's the traitor. He has just given Percy the reason why he kept quiet about Clarisse. Percy and his Super Knowledge I guess.
Luke having a portal-opening tool at hand ruins the whole purpose of Thalia as a character and narrative function.
RIP Annabeth's arc.
Oh, Gabe's story line is horrible. We know they purposefully made him non-abusive (c), meaning turning him into stone doesn't really do anything. Like, you just killed a guy; an annoying but non-threatening guy. Lame.
My overall impression was more negative than positive.
My main complaints regard Richard himself for his shameless misleading promotion and poor writing, the casting directors for missing the "vibe" with too many characters (actors have certain types of charisma and this show is hit or miss with them), the producers for slacking off with prioritizing CGI where it doesn't need to be, and for costume designers. Whoever worked on the Camp sets did a decent job, but the Underworld and Olympus suck so much it's unbelievable.
Doesn't work as an adaptation for me. I wouldn't give it more than 2/10 - only for some set designs.

Prodigal Doll
Goose Boys Mafia AU
AO3 Link
Length: 753 words (short and not sweet)
Summary: Nobody ever expected Ken to join the family business, but when he's caught in the middle of a war he knows nothing about, the other boys have to pick up the pieces.
Content/Warning: Implied/Referenced Rape/Non-con, Implied/Referenced Torture, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder - PTSD, Hurt/barely comfort
Authors Note: I don't even remember how this started lol
I think I saw those Tag Heuer photoshoot pics that look like Ken but as Six?
Anyways I have a LOT of lore ideas and a whole arc for Ken in this, but god only knows if I can actually write it ugh
Also I'm not sorry lmao
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“He’s… changed”
“ Don’t say that”
“Look at him!”
“Shut the fuck up, Richard”
Gathered, the men stare at Ken.
Whenever he used to be scared, he was loud (it was a liability sometimes, all the shrieking and sobbing). But now, he’s silent. Tear stains cut clean lines through the filth and gore on his cheeks, but none fall from his eyes. Not anymore.
He’s… vacant. Not like Driver, his stare always intense, or like Julian, always lost in thought. No. He’s just. Empty.
Six and Lars are sanitizing and bandaging his wounds. Slashes on his chest, burns on his limbs, bruises scattered on every inch of available skin like a fucking Jackson Pollock, and blood from god knows who and god knows where drenching his scarily pale skin and platinum blonde hair. He doesn’t flinch, doesn't move at all, even when Six gently murmurs that he needs to reset his shoulder. The bone grinding into place would have even the toughest of men gritting their teeth in pain, but Ken just sits there. Disconnected from the world. Lars is delicately cleaning the blood off of him, swallowing tears of his own while dabbing a warm cloth over his exposed skin. 
Ken wears nothing but a ragged pair of boxers stained with fluids nobody wants to think too hard about (just like they found him). He hasn’t said a word since they found him, but Lars finally gets a reaction out of him. He’s shakingly whispering to Ken that they need to remove his old shorts to wash him off and get him into something clean, but when his hand goes towards the waistband an explosion of movement happens. Ken bolts away from the men, scrambling to the closest wall and pressing his back to it. His voice is raw and venomous as he roars at the surrounding men.
“Don’t fucking touch me!” 
Everyone in the room freezes because Ken never curses. All eyes are on him, the torn and bloodied nails on his hands scratching at the brick wall, the bloody trail of footprints he makes, his heaving chest, and his frantic, darting, unseeing eyes. Blood drips down his inner thigh.
“I think I’m gonna be sick” 
“He needs a professional, guys, we can only do so much”
“Oh yeah, get the cops involved that’s smart”
“I thought I told you to shut the fuck-”
“Everybody out.”
The room silences once again, save for some muffled sobs and Ken's rapid breath. All eyes now turn to the man who spoke, the man in charge . His white jacket is splattered with blood, and a fire rages behind his cold, blue gaze.
“... are you sure we should leave him like this?”
“Six stays, the rest of you leave. He’s in no state for visitors. Every man is allowed some dignity.”
The room empties without protest, save for Ken, Six, Driver, and Julian. Julian didn’t need to ask to stay (not that he would have). Wherever Driver goes, he goes.
“Why am I staying?”
“You have the most combat-medic training. And. You can… restrain him if you need to.”
The rage in Driver’s eyes slips, showing for a brief moment deep, soul-wrenching anguish before he clenches his gloved fists and returns to his default neutral, intense stare. 
“I expect a complete injury report once he’s patched up. Ask Julian if you need any extra supplies. I have to go deal with the rest of this shit storm.”
He turns to leave, but pauses, glancing back over his shoulder.
“And Six?”
Six stands at attention, ready to receive orders.
“...be gentle.”
Six nods once in affirmation and Driver lets his head hang down, taking a deep breath before straightening his spine and closing the door quietly behind him. The room was now solely occupied by the three men left there.
Julian, standing and waiting by the door. Both ready to retrieve any necessary items and guarding against any poor fool that might try and interrupt them.
Six, shoulders sagged and ruffling through a medkit.
And Ken, who had slid to the floor, legs finally giving out, but the wild look in his eye still shining.
And it wasn’t until Six slowly approaches (the same way he did when he freed a wild deer from a beartrap as a kid), sinking to his knees, gently carding his hands through his blood-matted platinum hair and softly reassuring him that you’re safe now, you’re safe, we got you back that Ken starts trembling, a tear finally slipping from his eye.

i think people let nostalgia blind them a little when it comes to atla. don’t get me wrong, it’s great cartoon and i’ve rewatched it countless times but i also recognise it’s fine for the live action to make changes because that’s what happens when you adapt something. the live action is not perfect, but i had fun watching it and it feels like some people are just watching to nitpick and hate
Big agree. There are weak spots in the cartoon and also weak spots in the live action show. Are both enjoyable shows, though? Yes.
And that’s what I feel people can’t grasp. They’re like oooh they cut this, or why did they add that, or this character isn’t the same blah blah — and like yeah it’s not the same. I had zero interest in watching a replica with real people. I’ll just watch the cartoon and enjoy it
Like shows with real people have a lot of limitations, and not just because of budgets. It shouldn’t be news to people that there would be changes and a lot of stuff will get condensed, cut, or adapted in a different way. That was always going to happen.
I’ve seen people complain about Bumi and I’m like you know what I really loved the live action show Bumi. It’s a different take on it — him feeling bitter, showing obvious trauma from the pressure of ruling during a war that’s lasted this long, and being more unhinged rather than all super goofy guy like hey Aang just wait till you realise who I am. It’s different, more serious, and that’s okay. You can still enjoy cartoon Bumi. He ain’t going anywhere
Ppl complain about Katara, and like yeah I get it. She’s not as “fierce” in some aspects. But she suits this version of atla. She suits feeling more like a younger sister instead of a pseudo mum. She suits getting angry when Sokka treats her like a little girl rather than angry he doesn’t wash his own socks. She suits being paralyzed during fights at first because she has major ptsd and has been hiding her bending gif so long. It is realistic and fits the show, just as Cartoon Katara fit the cartoon and is still there. You can enjoy her. Cartoon Katara is not going anywhere
Like please will ppl stop looking for the things to complain about and instead see what we’re being given — an adaptation that is intense, funny, emotional and yes different.
We get Jet and the freedom fighters bombing places in omashu than wanting to flood a fire nation village. That’s not a bad thing. It cut out a whole lot of unnecessary stuff and also gave us an emotional scene with Jet and Katara. Did the part where she freezes him and says goodbye feel less dramatic? Yeah, honestly I would have been down to see her angrier. But I also think part of that is the limitations with special effects and waterbending (which always looks the weakest). the actress playing Katara is also dojng her interpretation of the character. (And can I just Jet was perfectly cast and I couldn’t imagine a better Jet)
So we didn’t get Sokka being with Jet? Who cares. Sokka’s story arc is focusing on different things. I loved how his interactions with Suki went. I love even more the scene where he’s listening in on Hakoda and Bato’s conversation and that line “some people aren’t made to be responsible for others lives” or whatever it was. It was so powerful.
And the cave of two lovers being resolved through family love? YES. I love that so much. Like thank you for giving non-romantic love a moment to shine. Katara and Sokka’s argument in that cave had so much weight and emotional intensity. It’s different from the arguments we get in the cartoon and that’s okay. Their dynamic is slightly different and that’s okay. THE CARTOON IS STILL THERE. YOU CAN ENJOY THE CARTOON OKAY
And honestly I could scream for days about what they’ve been doing with Zuko and Aang. I love them both so much and I love the extra stuff we’ve been getting with them. The Blue spirit stuff and that scene after was sooooooooo good. The little smile, the way they start to connect, and then Aang says t he wrong thing (bringing up Ozai) and Zuko lashes out and it’s just perfect ahhhhh
Also Zuko actually fighting back in the Agni Kai but hesitating to hurt his father was such a good choice. I love the cartoon for having him cry and beg to the end, but I also love the live actuon show for giving us something different. I WANT TO SEE THESE KIND OF CHANGES
And maybe I’m in the minority for that and I really don’t care if ppl think my opinion is rubbish. I love the cartoon. I love tye live action show
I wish ppl would understand that it’s okay they are different

No one left behind 😭👍, that was so cheesy of Felix but I love that for him.
It was SO cheesy and I'm SO proud of him. I think Felix has the biggest heart in the Blue Lions, which is saying a lot. He's way too loyal and loves way too much and it burns him. He's one of the characters who changes most throughout the story, and it was rewarding to show him grow up. And I loved writing him as a POV character, he was perfect - perceptive, insightful, funny, provocative, has lots of internal conflict, starts a lot of external conflict, says what he thinks. and emotionally intelligent or stupid as the situation calls for. 10/10 character.
The conceit of the AU was, of course, "what if the Blue Lions stayed together during the time skip". They were each other's only safety and security, the only people they trusted, and in the most dangerous situation possible they were each other's only safe harbor. The Rules were why they stayed to take care of Dimitri (ergo, it's also "AU where Dimitri wasn't alone for five years"), but I think it was taking care of Dimitri that finally solidified them as a family. To them, it was a replication of what Byleth had done - gaining the ability to show compassionate, empathic, and unconditional love because that love was given to them. As Byleth gains the ability to feel love through the love felt for her. Byleth's upcoming arc is very much a 'oh no, I'm having feelings' journey. AKA Come get your Dimileth food lol
I think Felix is a very loving person, but his love had fueled his hatred and resentment, and he had to re-learn how to show it. That involved releasing a lot of things within him. Becoming a caretaker tends to mature you fast, for better or for worse, and Felix had to process a lot of stuff very quickly. I think namely the fact that Dimitri and Felix had been caught in a toxic PTSD cycle of Felix punishing Dimitri and Dimitri using Felix as a way to punish himself. I think Felix's desire to punish Dimitri was stonewalled by Dimitri's psychotic break, because it must have become incredibly apparent that Dimitri was punishing himself enough for the both of them - and that there was no point to punishing Dimitri at all when Dimitri could barely even understand him. Everybody's seen Dimitri homicidal now and everybody believes him. The homicidality has lost a lot of its monstrousness and evil - it just seems sad, now, the misdirected fear of a sick person. There's no satisfaction out of hating Dimitri anymore. There's no longer any point. And Felix is left alone with the fact that the boy he loved is sick, and needs him, and if Felix was cruel to him now then it would only be cruelty for the sake of cruelty, and he would be no better than Dimitri. I think Felix forgave him, and I think it took a lot of maturity.
Felix's journey is super interesting. He got, like, two side stories with his POV just because I found him so interesting. This is also really why I'm not a Dimitri/Felix person - what they actually have going on is just so much more interesting (same reason I'm not a Dimitri/Dedue guy - Dimitri and Dedue's actual thing is FAR more fascinating). Felix's decision to forgive Dimitri wasn't about Dimitri - it was about Felix, and Felix being nineteen years old, and facing a crossroads of his life where he decided what kind of person he wanted to be (again, another journey Byleth has). Would he exhibit decency, humanity, and compassion to the person he hated the most? And if he did, would it release something old and rotten within him? Who knows! We will! When I post Catleth!

While the writers keep playing us, here are some future plots to consider after robert comes back (ryan HAS to comeback at this point ok? i wont accept anything else):
Post-prison Denial - Aaron cannot forgive Robert or accept that he is back; he shifts the blame for Liv's death from Chas to Robert because Robert LEFT THEM
Post-prison Blues - Robert deals with his PTSD badly which engages Aaron's redemption arc; he stays by Robert's side and helps him through it
Reunion 3.0 / Seb's return - Robert gets access to Seb (he comes to some sort of agreement with Rebecca or something happens to her offscreen whatever) and seeing Rob and Seb (their son!!) together in the village destroys any willpower Aaron still had to fight against his feelings for Robert
Wedding 3.0 - this needs no explanation
Surrogacy 2.0 - i dont actually mind them going there again if only to get them their Sugden-Dingle daughter
The Return of Andy Sugden - everything is going well for Robert and Aaron but Andy's return shakes things up; the farmboy that Jack Sugden caught Robert with back in the day is working with Andy now; so we get jealousy and misunderstandings and high drama in the Still-Madly-In-Love-Husband front (because that's Aaron innit) and Robert finally tells Vic and Andy about what happened with his dad when he was young.
Teen Seb Comes to Stay - Seb decides he wants to live with his dads at the village permanently (rewashed Liv plot i know but im making it easy for them!!) there are issues with his little sister at first but they get quickly resolved. Seb and his auntie Eve become thick as thieves and become the village nightmares
The Return of Adam Barton - because Aaron needs his mate back at some point and I doubt Vic will settle with anyone else ever
Robron vs Caleb - this just seems like it would be fun idk. it could have something to do with Seb because he is just like his dads and finds trouble everywhere which Robert and Aaron always have to solve in the end
Robert vs Kim&Andy - at this point in my AU Andy is with Kim (romantically or as business partners idc) because it serves the purpose of killing two birds with one stone so that Robert can finally FINALLY win back Home Farm
Robert Sugden's Regression - being in charge of Home Farm ofc changes Robert a bit and he starts to become the thing he fears most: his father. Cue him pushing his children and Aaron to the breaking point until, in true soap-fashion, they break up again. The kids split too. Aaron takes their daughter and Seb stays with Robert. And this ofc leads to:
The Parent Trap: Robron Edition - Seb and his sister plot to get their dads back together through a series of funny shenanigans, but then one of them gets seriously hurt in an accident (they should watch out for those evil farm animals amirite? or was it another drunk driver? only the soap gods know) so all the progress they made crumbles. Aaron and Robert blame each other and seem broken up for good
The Biggest Mugs In The World - Aaron and Robert try to prove to themselves and their kids that they dont want anything to do with each other but every time Aaron sends Robert his divorce papers Robert 'misplaces them' until Aaron finds out Robert has been ripping them apart and chucking them into his fancy fireplace. They fight about Robert being a control freak and Aaron a jealous queen, because every person Robert has flirted with since they separated has ended up fleeing the village with their tail tucked between their legs (Aaron made sure of it). This goes on until they have angry make up sex and then hate themselves for it.
Reunion 4.0 - *PROBLEMATIC PLOT ALERT* Seb and Eve become romantically involved and try to hide it from their families (aunt and nephew fits the Dingle lore somehow lmao). When they are found out Robert goes apeshit and casts Seb out of the village (like his dad did to him once) but he and Seb are at The Layby and before Robert can make the biggest mistake of his life, the love of his life arrives just in time to stop him. Robert realizes what he has become and decides to leave Emmerdale himself (after all, he was always the disaster, the one unable to make anybody happy, he should have never comeback etc) but Aaron won't have it. They can't live without each other, and that fact has never been clearer than at that very moment (shot to a teary-eyed Seb behind Aaron). Robert begs for forgiveness and Aaron just scoffs because forgiving Robert is the easiest thing in the world. They had promised each other messed up forever, had they not?
You know. I know.

🦾 A disability headcanon for anyone in the 501st
Canon and headcanon ideas welcome 😅
Headcanon Ask Game
You've given me a bit to think about Anon. So, here's what I could come up with:
Rex obviously has PTSD after everything he went through. I also headcanon him as having a weaker immune system due to coming into contact with the Blue Shadow Virus, as well as potentially developing cardiac issues later on in life due to getting sniped by a commando droid in Saleucami.
Nax would very likely also suffer from PTSD since he survived some of the worst battles the 501st ever faced (Christophsis, Teth and Umbara). He does canonically have shrapnel in his leg, so he likely has a pronounced limp (he'd probably needs a cane to get around more easily).
As a triple amputee, Echo is not only visibly disabled but I think he'd need mandatory mobility aids to give his body some rest once in a while. His missions with Clone Force 99 and Rex's clone rebellion are very intense and physically tasking, so a hoverchair is a must. I also think he's very likely deaf in at least one ear, so he needs an hearing aid (and probably gradually loses hearing in his one good ear later in life). Lastly on the physical disability list, there's the high possibility of him needing a colostomy bag. On the psychological list we have PTSD and autism (the former affects him more than the latter ever did, but occasionally he has disassociative episodes that can last hours if he's stressed enough to shut down)
Kix has severe PTSD and likely suffers from intense nightmares and disassociative episodes post stasis freezing.
Aside from the doom and gloom above, I have always had the headcanon that Dogma is autistic. Had we gotten to see him past the Umbara Arc I have no doubt he would have also had suffered from PTSD due to the events that unfolded.

Pressing further against the walls as you hear the loud footsteps coming down the hallway and the eerie voice calling out, “Songbird~ Come on just a moment with you.” 
Pulling the chains around your wrist that seemed to weigh tons as you try to break yourself free. Whatever god looking after you has the chains falling off your wrist and you try to run to the door leading to your freedom when arms wrap around your waist. You’re thrown onto the ground your hands getting scratched upon impact. Pinned to the ground you thrash around screams filling the room as his hands restrain your arms above your head. 
“Come on Songbird this will be real fun between both of us.” With one hand holding your wrist the other begins its crawl down your body getting lower. “You’re my Songbird~” His face is manic the fiery blue eyes above you are piercing as his torments continue his insane laughter filling the room. You shoot up in bed screams ripping from your throat as you thrash in your bed. Hands grab your wrist and you panic thinking it’s still Dabi you scream more trying to kick him off you. 
“Y/n! Calm down it’s just a nightmare!” The feminine voice clears the confusion you’re in when awake. The shadow above was definitely not Dabi and was Mina who is looking down at you concerned. Pushing yourself up and pressing further against the head of the bed you look at her fearfully. Looking behind her you see Uraraka’s back to the door as she is speaking to people back there trying to stop them from getting inside. 
“Mina got it! Just give her a minute!” She cries out. 
“Y/n!” Mina’s voice has you snapping back to her face still concerned by what just happened. You could have sworn he was here, it felt so real, the metal chains around your wrist, his hands on your body when he… Tears spill quickly from your eyes as you cry into your hands. 
“It was so real. He was here, I couldn’t stop him I wanted to stop him. I can’t be free from him. He’s going to kill me.” Mina’s arms wrap around your body as you cry into her chest. 
“It’s okay I’m here, you’re safe.” She soothes you as your tears stain her shirt. As your tears slow down the pounding headache quickly forms from all that crying. 
Mina pulls away and you quickly grab her wrist, “Don’t leave please.” 
She pauses and nods, “I’m just going to talk to Ochaco okay.” She says slowly and you slightly nod you didn’t want to be alone, she carefully gets up from your bed and heads to the door quickly talking to Uraraka who is still holding people back. 
After the talk quickly she closes the door and returns with you sitting next to you as you rub the rest of your tears from your eyes, “I’m sorry for freaking out like that.” You apologize if they didn’t hate you now, they all sure did. 
“You don’t have to apologize it wasn’t your fault, you went through a lot you’re going to have nightmares.” She says holding your hand, squeezing it. Why did all this need to happen to you? Why did Dabi have to become a villain? Maybe if your father didn’t abandon you this wouldn’t be your life. Maybe if you never became a hero this wouldn’t be your life. 
“I wish I wasn’t a hero.” You mumble and you hear Mina gasp. 
“Never say that Y/n you become a hero is a good thing.” she tries to debate your statement. 
“If I never became a hero, I never would have been noticed by Dabi. All those people he killed would be alive. I wouldn’t have lost my quirk. I wouldn’t have become a villain, I wouldn’t have been kidnapped, I would just be normal. A simple nobody.” You say looking out the window to the balcony. You would just be a normal girl with her quirk. 
“Yeah and you never would have met your friends, you never would have found your brother or your father, you wouldn’t have saved so many people as a hero. You wouldn’t know me.” She squeezes your hand and you smile slightly. “You becoming a hero was the best decision of your life, you have some many things that happened. Yes, what happened to you was horrible but, you can grow from it. Get stronger and you can defeat your monster, we can help you.” 
A knock on the door pulls the two from your conversation. “It’s open!” Mina calls out and the door opens who you thought was supposed to be Uraraka was instead Midoriya. “Midoriya I thought I asked Ochacho to get her water.” She says and he rubs the back of his neck holding a glass of water. 
“Yeah I asked her if I could take it from her, I know I shouldn’t have but I want to make sure Takami was okay.” You couldn’t help but have that warm feeling in your chest hearing what he said. He wanted to check on you. Mina gives you a look asking if it was okay and you nod. He walks further in placing the glass on the nightstand next to your bed and kneeling in front of you. 
“Are you okay?” His voice is just a whisper as he stares at you like fine china that could break at any moment. 
“I’m alright.” You mumble and his smile fills the empty hole in your heart. “That’s good..you going to be okay?” His hand slides into your own squeezing it. The lift airy feeling covers you as both you and Midoriya stare at each other small smiles on both of your faces neither aware of the other person in the room blatantly seeing what was going on between the two of you. 
He clears his throat standing back up, “I should be going, I’ll see you in the morning.” He says and you nod a smile still on your face. He squeezes your hand one last time before stepping back, bumping into the desk behind him making you chuckle slightly. He smiles hearing you laugh again, he walks to the door still keeping his eyes locked on yours. Giving one last wave he leaves your room closing it behind himself. The warm feeling has your heart beating faster and you feel lightheaded but it didn’t seem like dehydration. 
“What was that?” Mina asks a shocked look on her face having to watch the whole interaction, how Midoriya was able to calm you down so quickly and even make you laugh. 
“What was what?” You ask giving her a look, she laughs grabs the glass, and hands it to you. 
“What do you mean what was that whole moment between you and Midoriya? You guys completely blocked out everything and were focused on each other.” Your face gets flushed and you grab the glass drinking from it and turning away from her. 
“There was no moment between us he was just checking on me.” 
Mina choked out a gasp, “You liar I had front row seats, you both had googly eyes for each other, he literally was like ‘Are you okay?’ and you were like ‘Yes~’. Like what?!” She does an impression on both of you and you laugh at her horrible version of yourself. 
“I was not like that!” You gasp pointing a finger at her and she laughs even harder. 
“Uh yes, you were totally into each other. Oh my god, do you like Midoriya?!” She squeals and you grow silent taking in what she said. Did you like him? He was your friend, of course, one of your closest ones, he was nice, considerate, hardworking, and compassionate, what wasn’t there to like about him, but something was holding you back from saying that out loud. Would he want you if you admitted it, after everything you’ve done, what has happened to you would he want you? You were broken and dangerous why would you taint all that is good in Midoriya? But he doesn’t seem like the person to shy away from people’s problems that were something that you liked about him. Never afraid of people’s flaws. 
“If you don’t feel comfortable saying anything I understand,” Mina says with your sudden silence. 
“Would it be wrong to like him..as more than a friend?” You look at Mina holding the glass between two hands looking down at the bracelet around your wrist another memory of Midoriya. Mina smiles fondly though feeling slight pity for you, this was the first real interaction you probably ever had with someone who clearly shows feelings but you have no idea what they meant. 
“Oh of course not Y/n. Tell me everything about him?” The rest of the time with Mina until you both fell asleep was spent talking about Midoriya and why every time around him your heart would beat faster or this airy feeling would happen when he would look at you and Mina would smile at your rambling or poke some fun making your face red. 
Following that night your time with 1-A got stronger taking some time rebuilding the bridges you burned when leaving. Some easily understand your reason for leaving others need more time but soon understood. The one person you haven’t had a full conversation with was Todoroki, it was the mental barrier that just because he was his brother didn’t make him like him but you kept your distance and he seemed to understand the reasoning.
It was the mid-afternoon after a week away from his sister he was more than happy to return though he had much to tell her. 
“Do we need to let them know as soon as we get back?” Hawks sighs rubbing his face as he scrolls through the tablet in front of him as Jeanist drives back to U.A. Endeavor flying above them. 
“The information we figured out requires them to know and they decided whether to involve her or not.” Endeavor's voice comes through the speaker in the car. 
“Your father is still quite adamant with his request if we want to get further with finding the League.” Best Jeanist says as they can see the barrier approaches them. 
Hawks sighs upset about what was going to occur but at least happy he could have a moment with his sibling, “I just don’t want her getting hurt.” 
The three top heroes follow after Aizawa as he leads them to the dorms, “I don’t believe this is a good idea.” Hawks sighs thankful one person agrees with him. 
“We have no choice Eraser, this is the only lead we have for the League.” Endeavor says. Arriving at the backyard of the dorms multiple things are going on everyone working on their quirks. Hawks gaze across the field trying to find her when he hears her anyway. 
“You did great Midoriya!” You cheer heading over to him and Bakugo as they finished their match. You held out a bottle of water for him when Bakugo snatches it from your hand, “Hey!” He flips you off chugging it. 
“It’s alright Takami there’s more in the cooler.” You pout slightly, you’ve been trying to work on getting closer to Midoriya by listening to the advice Mina has given since your confession and somehow it always goes wrong. 
“Yeah, I guess so..” 
Midoriya smiles seeing the pout on your face, “Come on how about you train with me? It will be fine.” 
You shook your head, “I’ve already told you Midoriya I can’t train, remember it’s on the list of things I can’t do by Nezu.” With your agreement of staying in U.A. and then later rejoining Class 1-A, you were restricted to things such as leaving the dorms unsupervised, leaving the barrier at all, training, or anything that involves combat. So while your classmates worked out, you help with filling up drinks or moral support. You weren’t complaining you spent most of your childhood training under the commission so given the choice you were alright. 
Midoriya frowns grabbing your hands and swinging them around making you laugh, “Come on one quick tussle no one is going to tell.” 
“Why did I think letting you be around Problem Child was a good idea.” You both jump hearing your teacher’s voice Midoriya jumped the highest accidentally activating Float as it was directed at him. 
Looking behind your teacher your smile grows bigger seeing your brother, “Keigo!” You cry out rushing over to him wrapping your arms around him and he returns the hug as well lifting you slightly. 
“Miss you chickadee.” You snort at his stupid nickname pulling back, your day just getting better. 
“I didn’t know you were coming back today did everything go well?” You ask and the grin on his face slightly fades, “Is something wrong?” You frown seeing the look on your brother’s face. 
“We gain news regarding the League but there’s a problem.” Endeavor says and you look over the top hero as some of your classmates come over wanting to hear the news. “The location of All for One is speculated to have conversed with an associate of theirs but the location of that person is only known by one person.” Endeavor looks at you making you slightly nervous, “Your father.” You’re motionless, you haven’t seen him since you left. 
“What about my father?” You say your voice even though it lacked emotion. 
Hawks gives Endeavor a look that he didn’t want to keep going but the hero continued, “We’ve tried getting him to reveal the location but has refused to talk to anyone, but the person he calls his champion.” That bastard. 
“Who’s his champion?” Kirishima asks and you look down at your feet. 
“I was his champion.” Looking over at your brother he looks pained by what you were being asked to do. “The deadbeat now wants to converse.” You scoff glaring down at your shoes. 
“You don’t have to do this Y/n,” Keigo says but you shook your head. 
“I’ll do it. If this is a step closer to winning this war I’ll do it.” 
Endeavor nods and looks over at Aizawa, “She should talk with him within a day or so.” Both he and Jeanist turn to leave while Keigo stays for a second seeing the conflict in your eyes but turns still having to join his fellow heroes. You’re still looking at your shoes your hand in fist your fingers digging into your palms. 
“Takami? You’re alright.” You sigh and look up at your friends who were looking at you concerned, you had to go talk to your father who made you into the person named Nemesis. 
You nod trying to keep as calm as possible, “Yeah I’m fine, I’ll be alright I just need a minute.” You say quickly turning and walking off back to the dorms and heading to the bathrooms to get a moment to breathe. Turning on the sink you splash some water onto your face letting the water continue to run as you look in the mirror. Being back your face has gained color your eyes are brighter. The scars on your face faded looking like faint lines and the dye you put in when you first left faded and your natural roots were coming through. You should just ask Mina to help you remove the dye for you. You were another person when you were around him. You weren’t Y/n Takami, definitely not Halo, you were just Nemesis. The villain, the ghost, the name that made heroes cringe, and the villain fearful, his damn champion. God, you can still picture his stupid face, just sitting at his desk, as he made you kill an innocent man, watching as you killed his second-in-command. All with that stupid gloat on his face, knowing that the entire time every drop of blood filling your ledger was his child following his every step. 
Your fist slams against the glass right as the door to the bathroom opens, “Y/n we just wanted to check on you, are you okay?” Uraraka is speaking while walking but cries out seeing your fist slam against the mirror shattering the glass. “Y/n!” She rushes over to you pulling you away from the broken glass and holding your wrist your hand is bleeding with pieces of glass in your knuckles. 
The door opens again and Iida comes rushing in, “I hear a scream is everything alright-Y/n your hand needs to be treated immediately!” He says frantically leading you and Uraraka out of the bathroom after grabbing a hand towel and putting it under your hand to stop blood from getting everywhere. 
“I’m fine it’s alright.” You say but they don’t listen to you bringing you into the kitchen and Uraraka grabs the first aid kid underneath the sink as Iida makes you sit down holding your arm down. 
Kirishima and Kaminari both come after overhearing commotion from the bathroom to the kitchen, “Everything alright we hear screaming?” Kirishima starts. 
“SHE’S BLEEDING!” Kaminari screams and that seems to trigger your entire class to rush over to see you sitting down the towel under your hand now has a large red spot as you continue bleeding while Kirishima tries calming you down though you just look annoyed and Kaminari who is passed out on the ground. 
“Oh, my goodness are you alright!” “Someone get Mr. Aizawa!” “Don’t panic Y/n you’re going to be alright.” “Momo quickly make something!” “Right” The frantic cries from your classmates make your head ring. 
“GOD QUIET!” You yell out and they all freeze in place looking at you. You push yourself out of your seat not letting Iida coax you to sit back down. You grab the first aid kit from Uraraka and pull out the small bottle of rubbing alcohol pouring it onto your hand. Hissing from the slight burning sensation you grab the tweezers, 
“Wait let’s get Recovery Girl to-” Iida starts but the look you give him shuts him up. Pulling the shards of glass from your hand you wince slightly from the pain but feel a familiar sensation as the wounds close up leaving just blood. Dropping the tweezers and the last piece of glass you run your hand under the water cleaning your blood before lifting your hand and showing it to your classmates. 
“See I’m fine.” You shrug all of their eyes are widened jaws on the floor. Your hand was completely fine not a single scratch on it. 
Kaminari coming to again feels dizzy seeing your hand back to normal, “She heals?” and then passes out again. 
“But I-i the glass and then you- your hand just… I’m sorry what?” Iida is still looking back from your hand to the bloody towel next to him. 
“It’s a long story.” You say trying to make your way back to your room when a hand grabs your shoulder stopping you. 
“You just cut yourself bloody, healed, and act like nothing. No, you’re telling us everything.” Bakugo growls out pushing you to the couches as your classmates follow quickly after wanting to hear the story as well. Pushing you to sit everyone follows looking at you waiting for you to start. You give a look at Bakugo who just glares back and you sigh looking up, you just wanted to go back to your dorm and wallow in your anger. 
“The commission created a chemical called ‘Formula 2-XE’. It mutates with cells causing increased stamina, speed, strength, durability, and heightens the user quirk though useless now that I’m quirkless which is a longer story summed up All For One took it. Until recently it also has a regeneration factor which apparently only started working in near-death scenarios which I’m not talking about. The commission gave doses to all proteges increasing the dose with the final strongest one given to me before they stopped the project. They make sure none of the proteges could access this by creating an implant that stops it from working saying they removed it once they were deemed ready, fun fact no one was deemed ready. So after figuring it out I removed the implant and now I’m what I am now.” You explain and from one of the couches a hand slowly lifts up, “Yes Kaminari?“ 
He still looks pale from passing out twice, “How much can it heal if it healed your hand.” You nod running your finger over the undamaged knuckles that were just cut with glass. 
“Major wounds, stab wounds, bullet wounds...broken bones, blood loss..damaged organs, malnutrition, and…being exploded.” Listing them you slowly realize how much your body was damaged and the drugs running through you pieced you back together every time. Looking at your hand it has some little scars on your fingers and the other hand with scars from your burns. “Can’t handle fire though cells die too fast..convenient huh.” They’re silent listening to your gift and burden. The way you were easily able to list each injury because it happened to you. 
Standing up quickly you stuff your hands in your pockets, “So now you know happy now.” You give a look at Bakugo who is silent not even looking at you. You sigh leaving the room and heading to your dorm just wanting to be left alone after that whole ordeal. You skipped out on dinner staying locked in your room not wanting to see their faces of pity, why did you need to talk about your problems? You can just bottle up everything inside and just die with it well if you die. Stupid commission. You don’t remember falling asleep only closing your eyes and reopening them and it was the morning. 
Pushing yourself up you enter your small bathroom splashing water on your face waking you up and fixing your hair. Changing your clothes to a new pair of pants and a sweater thanks to Momo and the other girls giving clothes they didn’t want anymore and Momo making more custom stuff for you. Opening your door you almost step on the small plate of food left outside your room. Picking it up it was just a simple sandwich but a note was attached to it.
“I hope it didn’t seem like we were pressuring you to talk. I wish you came to dinner :( -Midoriya”
You couldn’t help the grin that quickly grows on your face while holding the small note. The unique handwriting of Midoriya and the sad face while it was supposed to show he was upset you couldn’t help but find it adorable. 
Entering the elevator you slowly eat your sandwich your eyes glued onto the note rubbing your thumb along it a tingling sensation in your stomach. God, were you getting sick? You walk out of the elevator just as someone tried walking in, you both bumped into each other their hands coming to your waist to steady you while you stared at them in surprise. His green eyes widened both of you were silent, as you stared at each other. You were inches away from each other that you could see the little details of his freckles. 
“Hi..” His voice comes out to just a whisper taking in the surprised look on your face and the few rogue strands of hair. 
“Hey..” You say and he smiles slightly looking down at the plate between the two of them. 
“Did you like the sandwich?”
You nod silently and he nods as well. You two were silent just breaths away from each other. You feel one hand pull away from your waist his hand reaching up and pushing the few strands away from your face. You feel your breath hitch at the feeling as you two just stare at each other.
“What are you two doing?” A voice says and the two of you jump away from each other before looking at the person. Mina has a cheesy smirk on her face as both of your faces were hot with embarrassment.
“I’m-i’m just gonna go!” Midoriya squeaks out before quickly entering the elevator that opens and spamming the button to close the door. With Midoriya gone Mina turns to look at you who is still frozen,
“Just friends huh~” Mina teases and you snap out of it pushing past her and hiding your flushed face from her.
“Shut it.”
It didn’t take long into the day for both Endeavor and Keigo to arrive the atmosphere quickly growing tense with what they would have to deal with. You were brought to a new prison a replacement for Tartarus after it was destroyed. Standing before it Keigo turns to look at your tense body language and places his hand on your shoulder.
“You got this kid.” He says and you nod at your brother before the large gates open and you are brought inside. This would be an interesting family reunion.
Entering through the doors the chemical smell instantly hits your nose as you trail after the top two heroes. You keep your eyes forward knowing multiple additional eyes were drawn onto you. It was rowdy as you pass other prisoners as they shout stuff at Endeavor and Keigo. As the ruckus continues you until someone shouts out a word that has you all freezing in place. 
“NEMESIS!” You turn to see a prisoner glaring at you through their cell. His fist is pressed against the glass as he scowls at you. “You bitch! You killed my brother.” He hisses out and looking at him you couldn’t remember if you met this man before. 
A hand grabs your shoulder, “Come on we have to go.” Keigo says starting to lead you away as the other prisoners get more rowdy knowing that you were Nemesis. Vile words were thrown your way, calling you a murderer, villain, and killer. 
“Come on Nemesis. You need heroes to protect you now!” “Give me a few minutes you’ll be my fucking bitch.” “Whore!” “You’re one of us bitch!” The door opens leaving the hallway and as you go to enter it you hear the man’s voice again. 
“Tadashi Kase is my brother!” The door shuts close and the voices are muffled. You feel disgusting their vile words stabbing your heart every time. And that man, he was Kase’s brother and you didn’t even recognize him. The sound of the bullet ripping through his skull still rings through your head. 
“Are you good Y/n?” Keigo asks his hand on your shoulder concern on his face. He wanted to go back there and beat up every villain that said those things to you but knew he couldn’t. You nod clearing your face of emotion. 
“Yeah let’s get this over with.” The two heroes look at each other not knowing if they want to go through with this but they can’t turn back now. You’re brought into a final room with a single door at the end of it. In the room, there are multiple guards all equipped with guns and another man who seemed to be the leader. 
“Endeavor, Hawks thank you for bringing in Takami.” He nods to the two heroes before looking over at you his gaze hardening. “Ms. Takami while your charges are still being determined anything you do here will affect your crimes.” 
You nod, what were you going to do? Help break your father out of prison. You weren’t that stupid. “You will be by yourself in there with him. Try to figure out information on the location of the League, you will be monitored and if anything goes wrong, you’ll be pulled out,” Keigo explains to you and you nod running your hands down your legs to get rid of the sweat. 
“I’ll be alright Keigo.” You reassure him and he pauses for a second before they head off into a room. 
“Just go through those doors.” The leader says swiping a card and the doors open and you walk through. They quickly close behind you locking making you look back and that’s when you hear him. 
“Well if it isn’t my champion…” You turn to see separating the two of you being glass is him. He’s strapped to a chair his wings restrained. Along the wall on the left of you is a mirror in both your room and his; a one-way window. They could see you but you couldn’t see them. He cocks his head to the seat in front of you. You slowly walk over and sit, the pane of glass keeping the two of you separate. 
“Where is the League of Villains?” You say your face even and he laughs, just full-on laughs at you. “This isn’t a joke Takami.” You say and he grins. 
“Now I know I wasn’t there but you were taught manners, my dear. Good afternoon father, how are you? Please tell me the location of the League. Tsk tsk. I’m truly disappointed.” He mocks you and you can feel your anger boil. 
“You lost my respect the day you left me. Now tell me where is the League.” 
He smirks, “How should I know I’ve been locked up since you left not like I can have much contact. Tell me did you make up with your brother before you murdered my men or after.” 
Your fist slam against the table built into the wall and it cracks slightly. “People will die because of your damn ego!” You yell pointing at him and he laughs, 
“There’s the girl I know! That fire, that passion, you are truly my greatest achievement.” You stand up turn away and head towards the door. 
“This was a waste of time.” 
“Did you think just because you locked me up that the Devil’s Advocate would crumble?” You pause in your step still your back to him. “My empire stretches so far across the country you wouldn’t be able to see it if it was right in your face.” Looking back to see for once in this conversation he is serious. “I could have taken over this damn country in a night and none of you would have been the wiser.” You step back to the glass but still keep your distance remaining silent. “You think I wouldn’t know about the League, you’re stupid to think I didn’t. I know every single thing in this country, the Commission, Hero Society, the government, the U.A. traitor. You think I don’t know how to take down that barrier surrounding U.A.?” Your heart stills and you look at your father the true madness and insanity that made him who he is shining through. “What darling, you thought it wasn’t that hard to figure out. You’re just as stupid as your brother.” 
“Don’t you dare speak about Keigo!” You spit out glaring at him and he laughs a manic grin on his face. 
“You think you’re high and mighty because you’re not the one in this chair. This is the same person who murdered innocent people I’m looking at right?” He mocks you and you feel anger take over. 
“And who was the one to tell me to pull the trigger, you left me no choice.” You say and his jaw drops before a laugh builds from deep in his chest. 
“Left you no choice! Sure I told you and you kill those people but what about the others, those in the fight club, those villains you sought out when you weren’t killing for me, my men equally put their lives on the line, Tadashi Kase what do you have to say to that? He looked after you like you were his own and how do you thank him? A bullet through the head. Yes, Y/n I left you no other choice. You killed all the people without mercy for some vendetta, you lack morals and restraint and I took that and shaped you into someone unstoppable. You think you can fix this by helping the heroes but remember what runs through your blood. You’re a villain, a killer no matter how many lives you try to save. The blood on your hands is much thicker and harder to wash off.” He shouts at you and you feel every word pierce you, he wasn’t wrong but why did it hurt so bad hearing it from someone else? 
Your vision blurred up and you swipe away the unfallen tears. “Tears…you really are pathetic. You want help finding the League fine. Murai Akira, an associate of mine runs the Mustafa district you want information about the League’s location you get it from him.” You stand up to leave you got what you needed and you didn’t want to be in this room any longer. “You can’t escape your past…if you want to get what you seek you’ll have to become someone that others will not accept. You hear me! You can’t run from it! Y/N TAKAMI! MY CHAMPION!” 
The door opens closing behind you leaving him to his screams. Arms quickly wrap around you pressing you into their chest as they whisper apologies but you are silent. 
“I’m sorry…I never should have pulled you into this.” You push away looking at Keigo’s face and Endeavor’s both of them ashamed of themselves. Having to sit in on all that with your father revealed the more fucked up life you were living. 
“It’s fine.” You mumble seeing the guards and the same man returns his face hard but behind his eyes, you could see pity. “You got what you wanted.” 
Keigo looks like he’s about to cry when a ping goes off Endeavor pulls out his phone looking at it before looking at the two of you, “They found the U.A. traitor.”

7. Hello! I’m in the mood for a fic when lwj finally snaps, maybe goes berserk, maybe some dark lwj, especially after wwx’s death. Could you recommend me some? @notyoursins​
demons run when a good man goes to war by Miranda_Aurelia (T, 20k, WangXian, Canon Divergence, Angst, Happy ending, NHS & LWJ Friendship, Not JGY & LXC friendly, Presumed Major character death) Might not be exactly what you want but very close?
Gold Blood Eyes by ILikeReading101 (T, 72k, WangXian, Canon Divergence, Everybody Lives, Except the bad people, Dark LWJ, i guess?, Established WangXian, Secret Relationship, Sentient Burial Mounds, Golden Core Reveal, Found Family, LWJ is Whipped, Character Study, Implied/Referenced Child Abuse, Implied/Referenced Torture, Implied/Referenced Alcohol Abuse/Alcoholism, Mental Health Issues, Communication, but also miscommunication, Twin Prides of Yúnmèng Feels, YZY Bashing, JFM Bashing) maybe not exactly what anon is after but it does have a good bit of lwj snapping at various points

8. Hello mods, lots of respect for the hard work you do, take care of yourselves. If its not too much trouble, for the next itmf could you recomend some modern cultivation wangxian case fics? Preferably happier/lighter ones, angst thats related to the case is fine, but I’ve found some where the vibes were really depressed an I did not like that. Also if you have a really good one with a different pairing or no pairing at all I’ll take that too. Thanks a lot 🙏🏻

9. Hello! Your blog has been a godsend for awesome stories. I wonder if you can point me to some where Wei Ying takes Lan Zhan's words about leaving him alone while in Cloud Recess seriously or even ones where he thinks Lan Zhan is rejecting his friendship to heart. @marietsy40-blog

10. I'm in the mood for fics where wwx does Not get resurrected for the main story! Can be canon divergence or any au, as long as the equivalent of his resurrection does not happen. Could anyone drop some recs? Thank you!

13. Hello hello! I’m in the mood for fics that prominently feature the ghost ladies who were all draped over YLLZ WWX! Either fics actually focused on them (who they are, their backstory, etc) or fics where they play a big role. I just love the spooky ladies and wish we saw more of them!
A Long Road by Vathara (T, 175k, WIP, WangXian, Fluff and Angst, Crossovers & Fandom Fusions, Scheming NHS, Necromancy, Fire, Ghosts, Accidental Child Acquisition, is it an accident if the ghosts keep bringing them?, Valdemar Series - Mercedes Lackey Crossover) crossovers are def not everyone’s cuppa but if you love wifi’s ghost ladies this one gives them a comparatively fair amount of screen time as well as naming them and providing them with backstory and characterisation
Enfant Perdu, Jouet du Destin by JaenysBloodcourt (T, 15k, WangXian, Prostitution, Brothels, Child Abuse, YZY Being YZY, YZY’s cannon issues, JFM and YZY bad parenting, Found Family, Angst, Misunderstandings, Angst and Feels, Family Feels, Parent-Child Relationship, Ghosts and Yiling Patriarch feels, Time Skips, WWX half-grows in a brothel, Bittersweet Ending) It does not focus on WWX’s ghost ladies and they’re mentioned briefly in Ch 4 I think, but it gives them a little back ground.

(The author has also tagged it YiZhan, although the characters rather than the actual actors are involved.)
