Author's Note: N/A

As much as Iman doesn’t mind and is one hundred percent on board for all the filming and hanging out with the drivers, she's happy that it’s not an every day of the week and every class kind of thing. There’s a level of mental capacity it takes to deal with the people around her while doing this that she can’t maintain every day.

But today isn’t one of those days. Today they’re at a track and that’s one of her favorite places to be no matter where it is.

NOLA Motorsports Park hasn’t seen any real IndyCar action since twenty fifteen, but it’s still a place that some teams use when they want to test and practice in a place where it wouldn’t really be expected. Though there were times they did open the public stuff and in about a month there would be a McLaren sponsored karting tournament for kids already in and new to the world of motorsport. 

Iman looks forward to that day because she enjoys helping the kids with their races and even more so helping them understand how their karts work. She was even going to be in charge of a more informational segment that she knows is going to be boring as hell, but hopefully insightful for kids and their parents.

The sport can be hard enough getting into it and she wanted to make it easier for them. Even if she felt a little like a fraud speaking as her path hasn’t really been from the ground up like half the kids there.

But at the moment what she’s most happy about is that she isn’t the one making the drive to the track. The place is over an hour from her apartment and though it rarely feels that long it’s nice to have someone else to do it. 

Though she could do without being sandwiched between her brother and her new frenemy, Lance.

“It’s a Canadian sport. And they are original, how could you dislike them? They have more championships than Seattle has in years playing. I mean I like them too, but come on, Iman.”

The entire rant is funny and it’s the same argument they’ve had twice now after he found out that she enjoys hockey. They’ve talked a little about football too, but the moment she enacted her duty of humbling a Canadian it’s been a back and forth of him being flustered over her dislike of almost all the Canadian teams in the NHL. Most of it being due to her disdain for certain players - most of which for petty reasons and some because they’re assholes.

She reaches out and pats his leg, giving him a soft and kind look that’s only playfully condescending.

“How about we pick this back up when a Canadian team breaks their thirty year streak of not winning the Stanley Cup. Something multiple players in Seattle have done in that time period.”

“You went there?”

“I went there.”

Lance huffs and puffs. He tries to say something, but every time his mouth opens he closes it again. If I didn’t notice the way he wanted to laugh and the resignation in his expression I would fear I’d genuinely offended him, but I know I hadn’t. Poor man knew it was the truth, even if it was a painful one.

“It’s their year.”

“Who’s year?”

He sighs. “I don’t know. One of them.”

“Leafs?”

At that he makes a face that can only be read as disgust.

“You’re mad at me and you don’t even like them.”

“I’m obligated.”

“I get it.”

Because she does. That conditionally and sometimes fake patriotism got the best of her too.

She opens her mouth to bring them back to common ground by shitting on Vegas, but for the tenth time there’s a pull at some strands of hair at the back of her head. Eyes narrowed she turns her head to look at her brother. Who doesn’t even bother to look away or remove his hand.

“Why?”

Lewis shrugs.

Rolling her eyes she reaches up and pulls on one of his braids, earning a swat to her hand.

“Don’t pull my hair,” he says.

“Then don’t pull mine.”

And he does it again.

Like the child she sometimes is, she goes to retaliate, but the van rolls to a stop and she settles for glaring at him.

“Ha.”

“Oh, shut up.”

With the last word she follows the others out of the van, “accidentally” kicking Lewis on her way out. By the time he’s out and able to get her back she’s already standing at the front of everyone barely suppressing a gleeful smile. He joins the group and flips her off in a covert way and she does the same.

Not them doing that on the low mattered since the cameras weren’t focused on the group yet. Every camera person is huddled together talking amongst themselves.

“Is that a McLaren indycar?” Alex asks.

“Sure is.”

Daniel raises his hand, a broad smile on his face. “Are we going to get in it?” 

“Maybe.”

That seems to shock everyone, but there is some giddiness to it. One would think that a group of men who raced for a living and who would be back to doing it in about a week wouldn’t be so eager to get into a car. But then again that’s the driving force of why some of them do it for a living.

Before anyone can say anything else Anne walks up and the camera surrounds them. Anne gestures to Iman and she takes her cue.

Iman hitches her thumb backward. “This is where I do a lot of my internship work during the school year. Though it’s not often used for pro-racing, it is used for testing. And that’s what McLaren’s Indycar team is doing here for the next month or so. And today you’ll be helping me with work. 

“All of you know there is some level of secrecy going on with this stuff, but everything you see and hear today will be things that are known to the public or that no one cares about anyone else knowing. Plus, this testing is for this past season's car, not the coming one.

“We’re going to get a tour of the place and then get to work. Any questions before we get things going?”

The group is quiet and after a few seconds Iman nods and then turns. She leads the group up to the pit lane where McLaren mechanics await them. There are greetings and then another explanation of what they’re doing there. Then they’re led off on a tour of the spaces. They field questions from the drivers and to round out the tour they end up back in front of where they started.

“Okay, so we’re trying to figure out what went wrong with this engine during one of the races this season. We had to replace the whole thing and it didn’t become a priority to take it apart and find out, so that’s what we’re doing now to see if there’s anything we need to change in the future,” the head mechanic says.

He looks around at everyone in the way one does when ensuring that they have a listening audience.

“Okay, so you’ll see what Iman and our team do to figure that out. I know this could be more exciting, but we decided this is a good glimpse to really show what she does and in a way we’re comfortable showing. You’ll pair off and our people will explain what’s going on. Feel free to ask questions and point out any oddities you see, we need all the eyes on this that we can get. It’s all preliminary, so they won’t be at it for long and then that’s where the fun begins.”

He shares a mischievous smile with Iman and by the looks of everyone it makes them a bit unsettled.

“What does that mean?” Lance asks.

Iman shrugs. “You’ll see. Now go get changed.”

They do what she says even though she could see the questions they want to ask. 

About ten minutes later everyone returns in coveralls. Iman is already dressed in the clothes she works in so she’s sitting on a rolling chair when they return.

“Ready?” she asks.

They nod.

“Okay, I’m not going to treat this like a class room so everyone in groups of two and then you’ll be with one of us.”

Much like all Iman’s years of school, all the drivers freeze. Then they all scramble toward their chosen person. Despite the small group - or because of how small it was - some end up losing out. It takes all of her not to burst into laughter when Carlos goes for Charles and Lewis snatches up the Monégasque. Which means Carlos is with Daniel. The man pouts while Daniel grins ear to ear, but you could tell it was more playful. 

Lewis and Charles laugh at their antics and Iman knows that those two groups are going to be a chaotic mess.

And because she’s so busy holding back giggles at their nonsense, she misses the chance to grab a group that doesn’t contain her brother. She knows that part of this whole thing is wanting them to be together, but she would be a bad little sister if she didn’t act indignant about it.

“I guess I’m stuck with you too,” she says, rolling her eyes.

Lewis grins. “Yes, you are. You’ll love it. Won’t she Charles?”

Both men turn their heads to face each other and they share similar grins. Then they turn to her and she sees devious intentions in their eyes. Iman feels like they’re plotting against her and she doesn’t like that.

“Of course. We are a delight,” Charles says.

Now she really knows they’re going to be a handful. Though she hopes putting them to work will help.

“Sure, you will be. How about using that delightfulness to help me disassemble this.”

She gestures to the problem engine. She’s to take care of that one while the others look at two others. Both of them cling to their little creep show and then finally nod and help her disassemble the thing. Lewis is a little competent in it because she always talked about it and forced him to learn, but Charles is a little surprising to her. But it’s nice to only have to give a little guidance and get to focus on her work.

Of course she gets so into it that she forgets that she should probably talk to them a little after Charles clears his throat. By the sounds of it he’d been trying to get her attention for a little while.

“Sorry, can you repeat that?”

“You work for McLaren?” he asks.

“This year.”

“Only this year? They seem very okay with this for such a short time.”

“Once before, but for a shorter amount of time then. I’ve done about four internships, two of them with them. One in Nascar and another for a different IndyCar team.”

“Wow, that’s a lot. How do you find the time?”

“I don’t. Just chaos twenty-four seven.” She laughs. “But to be fair, the first IndyCar was when I was a senior in high school. They were doing a program for kids of that age to get them interested and I was a test subject. Since my mother worked for them it was more likely they’d get better feedback versus the kids who might be scared saying anything could get them blacklisted.”

“Really?”

Iman smiles. “Really. There weren’t many issues and nothing major though, so it was fine.”

“No, I mean in high school?”

“Yup. It’s what happens when you tell the people in your life what you want to do for a living and they have the connections. The moment my mom knew I was serious she had me applying everywhere and brought me in to shadow her and anyone else she could have agree. I was annoying, but good enough that they didn’t tell her to stop.”

Talking with Charles is easy and the conversation is one that helps her focus on the task of disassembling the unnecessarily greasy mess that is her side of the engine. Something is peaceful about it too. Nice even.

When she looks up and past Charles to her brother Iman sees a weird expression on Lewis' face. It’s one he wears when he knows something or thinks he knows something and a weird smile. She wants to question it, but thinks better of it. Knowing Lewis it will irritate her and there is a part of her brain that is sure she knows what that look is for and she refuses to address it.

Not stepping into that shit show. Nope.

“Okay, what happened?” Lewis asks.

“It stopped the car completely and then when we went to check it there was a small-ish fire.”

“Excuse me?”

“I was the furthest from the fire, Lew.”

There’s some grumbling, but his expression and body language mellows out. Not much though. For some reason Iman looks to Charles for support, but instead she’s on the receiving end of a look that gives off mild anger and a silver of disappointment. Of course she doesn’t know Charles well enough for her to fully understand his expressions, but she’s familiar with the reactions of siblings.

Iman groans. “Oh come on. Not you too.”

“I’d be mad at my brothers for it as well,” Charles says.

Lewis fist bumps the man and they both stare Iman down as if expecting something like an apology from her. One that she isn’t willing to give, because while she gets the worry and is appreciative of it - especially when Charles barely knows her - this is her job. She’s made a career choice and these kinds of situations are the kind of shitty parts that she expects and that need to be expected. Especially from people who’ve seen their fair share of chaos and tragedy in the world of motorsport. She knows that that’s probably why they’re worse about it. But Iman also knows that there’s something more to it.

Instead of indulging them she rolls her eyes and focuses on the engine. They join in after a couple seconds and she guides them through it, telling them the running theory on what they think caused the fire and answering the questions they have about all the ways their hypothesis could be true.

The help feels nice. They don’t slow her down at all and even if they did she realizes that she wouldn’t mind it. Their interest makes it enjoyable.

By the time they finish they’ve mostly ruled out what it wasn’t but have no confirmation on if what McLarens mechanics think went wrong did. It’s frustrating, but Iman knew enough about the job to know that eliminating possibilities was sometimes better than finding the answer right away. In this case it meant she could catch anything that was also an issue, but didn’t get its chance to show out. And there were at least two of those issues she had to document.

Iman follows the other mechanics to give a report and compare notes and she returns changed into clothes she brought with her. When she emerges on the track the drivers are also back in their clothes and standing in front of some of the newest cars from their respective brands or the creators of the engines their F1 car uses.

Lance is looking at her with a raised brow as she enters their field of view and the others appear curious.

“What’s happening here?” Daniel asks, though with how giddy he is Iman knows he knows.

“Friendly race.”

As if they weren’t professional drivers that did this multiple times a year an electric kind of excitement filled the circle. It’s classic teenage boy behavior as they nudge each other and talk shit.

Anne steps in and grabs everyone’s attention.

“We’re going to have a friendly race. Everyone will be paired up and though there is only one tandem here, you can’t be paired with your teammate.” There is some groaning from the Ferrari boys. “And, because we have a McLaren IndyCar driver here waiting around, Pato O’Ward, will be joining in on the fun.”

Pato appears the moment his name is mentioned. He wears a wide smile and shyly waves to the group.

“Hey, guys. Hope you don’t mind me crashing this.”

“Dibs!” Daniel yells.

Everyone startles, but then it’s a bunch of eye rolling and some bashfulness from Pato.

“That’s fine, Daniel. I was going to choose who gets who, but it's free for all. So pick yo…”

Before Anne can finish what she’s saying everyone scrambles and Iman crosses paths with Lewis. She knocks into him, sending him a little off kilter and with enough force that he ends up next to Carlos and her next to Charles. 

“Hey!” he shouts.

Iman waves. “Hi.”

“You know what.. How dare… Why?”

“I haven’t caused you suffering in a while, which I’m obligated as a little sister to do. Also I’ve driven many Mercedes. I want to try out a Ferrari. Plus, even if I didn’t go for Charles the odds of me reaching Carlos before Lance chooses between him and Albon were low. Shit end of the stick, Lew.”

Everyone laughs as they watch a series of emotions play on the man’s face. He huffs and puffs as he tries to find the words.

Realization dawns on Lewis’ face.

“Wait. No. You’re not racing. You can’t… This isn’t… No.”

Every sentence he starts is clearly going to lead to the interaction turning from funny to a little more serious, so Iman lets him work through finding his words.

“Then you shouldn’t have taught me how. I’m not the one who got grounded at his big age for letting me race a car by a woman who is not their mother.”

Alex snickers. “Wait. He did?”

“Yup. Of course she couldn’t make it stick, but she was trying hard to figure out all the ways she could.”

Lewis winces, probably remembering it. Then he rolls his eyes and sulks. “Fine.”

With a much gentler smile Iman walks over and places a kiss on Lewis’ cheek and ruffles his braids, then retakes her spot next to Charles. Though he fights against it she watches the sulking stop

“Okay, just don’t cry to her or dad when I kick your ass.”

“Bring it.”

Anne retakes control of the conversation and directs everyone to their cars. They’re all given helmets, because this is hot lap adjacent. 

“Everyone will get one lap, then you’ll swap. This is about speed and I know that every one of you is capable of doing this in this type of vehicle, but I’m reminding you all to be safe. Nothing crazy unless you’re sure you can execute it without risk to yourself and everyone else. Got it?”

There’s a chorus of agreement.

They all discuss who is going first, but Iman just directs Charles to the driver’s side. He looks at her with a brow raised in question, but then he follows her gaze and sees that Carlos is taking this lap. He smiles and nods.

Once in the car they strap in and Charles takes a few deep breaths. They’re given the signal to get into place and they get into a formation that works for them. Charles looks at her, a smirk on his lips that is equal parts cocky and confident.

“Ready?”

“Yes, I am.”

He extends his arm, his hand in a fist. Iman bumps it without question. Then they both turn forward and wait for the go ahead.

Despite seeing it at the same time as Charles and preparing herself, Iman's heart drops to her ass once he hits the gas. It takes a few seconds for her to chill out and by then they’re on the first turn. 

Charles drives seamlessly and despite the blur of their surroundings Iman doesn't feel like she’s going terribly fast. Then a Mercedes sails by and then another. Without having to think about what’s happening. He is pushing it, but he’s holding back. 

“I’d be disappointed if you didn’t let loose Charlie.”

He barely glances at her, probably to gauge if she means it, and then he pushes it. In about ten seconds he’s passed one of the cars in front of them and is fighting off the other. The others behind them catch up and it’s a battle back there, but it’s irrelevant to the one in front of them.

At every instance he tries to get around the Mercedes she knows Carlos is driving, but despite almost getting past he misses the mark by half a second. Before they know it they’re crossing the finish line barely behind the Mercedes. There’s a three way tie for the others about two seconds later.

And then everyone exits their cars. There’s some bragging and arguing. As Charles and Iman change sides he lightly bumps into Carlos with a frown on his face. He’s trying to seem upset, but the smile he’s wearing is wide.

“What about being comrades?” Charles jokes.

Carlos laughs. “Not here.”

Iman slides into the driver’s seat and takes a few deep breaths as her fingers trace the steering wheel. Nerves creep in, but they leave her the moment she feels a hand on her shoulder. She turns to see Charles looking at her with a bit of concern.

“Are you okay?”

“A little bit of nerves. Nothing I won’t shake as I put them behind us.”

That brings back the smirk that he wore when he was behind the wheel. There was obviously going to be some uncertainty about her being the only non-driver in the race, but as she smiles back at Charles she realizes he didn’t bring that up or seem bothered when she snatched him up from someone who he’d seen do this for a living. It was a nice reassurance. Even if she knew damn well she could hang with the big boys. At least in this kind of situation, behind an F1 car was another thing entirely.

A muffled shout interrupts the moment and Charles puts down his window, revealing Lewis with his own down. He’s smiling, but it’s that stupid lazy one he puts on when he’s feeling himself. 

Annoying man.

“Ready to lose, Immy?”

Of course he uses that nickname while being annoying.

“You should be asking yourself that, LuLu.”

“Well, I am a seven time…”

Iman flips him off and he shuts up, looking appalled. Charles puts the window back up while laughing, but she catches Lewis’ returning the gesture.

Again Charles reaches out and they bump fists. Then it’s lights out and away they go.

In comparison Iman’s take off is delayed, but despite the few inches everyone has in front of her when she does get going, she closes and surpasses it. She puts her speed over one hundred and keeps it there on the first turn. Lewis pulls ahead and so does Lance, but she manages to evade being boxed out and puts a little over a second between them. 

The next turn has her losing speed a little, but she regains it and keeps herself next to Lance and Daniel for the straight and then on the next turn, she guns it. With ease she ends up in front of Lance and then she’s next to the Mercedes. Lewis increases speed, but it doesn’t beat her out. In the final turn she does what she did in the last one and pushes the car to its limits. The last few feet before the end of the track are a close race, but at the last second she pushes further.

With her speed the car goes past the finish, but it’s a second or two before her brother crosses the line. Everyone else trails by a second or more and then they all leave the car. Iman is shaking from the speed and the excitement. Charles rushes over and pulls her into a hug she happily returns. 

“That was great. No, excellent. You crushed it,” Charles says.

“Thank you.”

There’s some shit talking, but they all praise her.

Lewis is pouting, but it’s not fooling her at all. He’s the last to pull her into a hug and it’s tight. 

“You did fucking phenomenal, Immy. I didn’t expect that. You blew away all expectations,” he says.

As he pulls away he kisses the top of her head and refuses to let her go. Pride shines on his face and she feels even more proud of herself. She feels like she’s the shit. There are no delusions of grandeur on the level they’re at, but she beat multiple professional racers at something adjacent to their own game and that’s good enough.

“I did learn some things from the best,” she says.

He laughs, throwing his head back a little and then pulls her into another hug. They pull away and Pato walks up, patting her arm.

“Maybe you should be in Nascar, that was better than your IndyCar test,” Pato says.

“Her what? You’re what?” Lewis moves so fast to look at Pato and Iman that he should have whiplash.

“Uh…”

Pato winces. “Was that supposed to be a secret?”

“Iman Marie Hamilton. You’re what?”

He moves toward her just as she ducks behind Charles. With how serious - but not in a bodily harm way - he looks she’s sure Charles is going to move out of her brother’s war path, but he reaches a hand around and takes hold of her shirt. As Lewis tries to get around him he moves with her, using the shirt to leverage her.

“Maybe we should forget this and go to dinner.”

Sweet Charles is trying to de-escalate, but it’s not working and that’s in part because he can’t stop himself from giggling. Which turns Lewis ire from just  Iman to both of them.

“LeClerc. Is this the war you want?”

Everyone holds their breath and seconds tick by.

“Yes.”

And without a word Iman breaks into a sprint with Charles following suit. Carlos has chosen Lewis' side so he goes for his teammate. Pato and Lance run interference for Iman while Alex and Daniel join in the sport of being the first to get to Charles. It’s chaos and it dissolves into laughter and labored breathing so quickly. Yet none of them stop.

You’d think they were all a bunch of children and not very much grown adults. But it’s so funny that Anne puts the camera people to work chasing them down for all the actions.

Wayne Spirit Au (now)

IDEA

So, if the Infinite Realms is basically a connection for many many many dimensions do you think Danny would go to the dc dimension after realizing what this means

Like imagine dc is also a fandom in the ‘Danny Phantom’ universe that Danny is a big fan of. He would never think that such a world exists but the idea of it is so cool, and he wish he can go to a world such as that. 

But that was before he kind-of-sort-of-possibly-died-and-is-now-currently-half-dead-and-would-you-look-at-that-he-became-ghost-king-what-a-small-world-we-live-in

well, it’s about to get smaller

Now when he finds out that the Infinite Realms is a connection to other realms, he doesn’t think much of it because he thinks it’s like worlds that have a boy Sam or Mr. Lance as president kind of thing. He doesn’t think much of it until he realizes the extent of what “dimensions” means

Finding out that one of your childhood heroes are real in a different world literally blew his mind

So, imagine this young teenage Ghost King DC nerd willingly going to the dc universe to geek out and possible spook his heroes for the heck of it

Oh! IDEA!!!!!

What if he goes to the dc!universe back and forth where to him it would be like a day and it would be weeks or even years in the dc!universe so he would be young even if years pass by. The heroes are being haunted by this weird ghost kids for years!

GASP

WAIT

What if the Bats were his favorite heroes? 

Like imagine an excited Danny going to Gotham expecting to see Batman but came during the time when Bruce was still a child and was disappointed, like, he wanted to see big bad batman not a child >:0

But every time he comes back, he would just like watch over Bruce thinking like how this kid couldn’t possibly be Batman while also getting attached to the child Bruce. Durning the night he would tuck him in tighter, hum a tone when their alone or blowing cold air his way when its summertime. The little things. 

Bruce thinks it’s his imaginary friend or like the spirit of Gotham

(shot i made another idea in an idea but i’ll come back to that later)

Danny comes back one day to find out it’s been days since the murder of the Wayne’s, and he’s excited to see how the Batman comes to life only to see a devastated crying and depressed Bruce.

that’s when he realized he was waiting for a murder in order to have a child-like enjoyment of seeing one of his childhood heroes for the price of a child to lose their parents

he made a mistake

he wants to fix it but Clockwork refused point blank that he can’t change the past, however, he won’t stop him from taking any action after as whatever he does will affect this universes even more, 

After that Danny made it his mission to bring Bruce comfort and protect him from any types of threats from greedy rich higher ups to thieves coming to steal from the Wayne Mannor. He comes back and forth to his world and this world to look after Bruce and learns how the character in his comic book pages became a person he cares for. 

He watches him leave to train

He watches him come back

He watches him become Batman

He watches him become a father

 (From there I don’t know if Danny would change major things like Jason’s death or even Bruce’s journey through time, but I’ll like to think he does something when it comes to find Damian or even bring in Tim earlier rather than letting him go through that rollercoaster ride he had called a ‘personal life’)

(And yes through this all Danny is still a teenager but he can be around 17-19ish by the time Damian’s 14 or so)

Danny became something of a Wayne protector and Bruce knows that something/someone is keeping him safe as both Bruce and Batman and just let it be. This spirit or thing was there since his childhood so he has a certain attachment to whatever good will this spirit was providing him and pass down the knowledge to Dick and then his children when he notices that the spirit was protecting or helping his children as well

Like:

“B, I didn’t know you have a great singing voice!”

Bruce paused from his newspaper and looked up. “What do you mean?”

Dick pop a piece of bacon in his mouth before talking again, food flying everywhere. “You were humming me to sleep before your patrol!” 

“Mouth close Master Dick,” Alfried wiped the counter. He looked at Bruce with a raised eyebrow. “I wasn’t aware Master Bruce had to time to see the young master to bed.”

Bruce took only a second to understand. “Ah. No that wasn’t me. It seems our littler friend likes you chum.”

“Friend?”

“There are many things you must learn when living in the Wayne Manor Master Dick. Learning to find a little help now and again without one of us at present is also one of the number of things you will expecting while at your stay.”

Headcanons about Living in the HOL

1- [x]

2- [x]

3- [x]

Now for more!

- You have suggested therapy to the brothers. A lot. They still haven’t agreed, but you’re going to keep trying because even with you doing all you do FUCKING HELL do these boys have trauma to deal with.

- You’ve gone down and visited Lilith’s memorial in the basement a several times. You talk to her and occasionally lay a flower on her ‘grave’ and thank her for helping you in the small ways she’s been able to.

- You hired an artist to make a family portrait and have everyone in it; even Lilith. It hangs in the living room over the fireplace.

- You’ve grown to... tolerate Solomon’s cooking. You’ve told him point blank that the food isn’t really edible. You’ve told him he’s terrible at cooking. But it’s in one ear and out the other. It normally goes as such:      MC: “Solomon. Honey. I love you. But your cooking is rancid!”      Solomon: “You love me?!” 8D “Let me make you dinner!”

- Diavolo has plans for you to eventually teach at RAD. Mostly to teach about Earth history and cultures; which has led to you studying extra hard and wondering why Solomon isn’t going to be helping you teach since he’s lived through history. But Diavolo’s plan is for him to teach ancient languages.

- You spend some nights at the palace every month. The brothers always get jealous when you go. Especially when you come back with a tell-tale limp. Or being carried back home.

- You were sadly at ground zero when Luke snuck into Asmo’s room and his innocence became lost since Asmo had porn of himself playing on his laptop and was ‘enjoying’ it (because of course he faps to videos of himself). You tried to stop the little angel but he’s like an actual child and darts the moment you blink. Simeon was outraged, but you pointed out that Luke didn’t knock. Asmo was glad you stuck up for him because he was certain he was headed for a bath of holy water otherwise. It took Luke a month before he could stand to be around Asmo again. It took longer for Luke to look at him again.

- Since Satan is not allowed to have a real cat (not that Satan cares as he has at least 10 ‘hidden’ ones), Mammon bought him a realistic robot cat for his room. Satan nearly cried tears of joy. Satan did cry when a book-a-lance fell and broke it. Lucifer replaced it so that Satan didn’t start destroying stuff once the sadness went away.

- Lucifer knows about the cats. He lets Satan think it’s a secret so that Satan won’t try to get an amount that would be noticeable. You found this out when you went to bring Lucifer some coffee and found him petting one of Satan’s cats. You were sworn to secrecy.

- You tried edible underwear with Beel once. And only once. He accidentally bit your thigh and you have small scars from the indents of his teeth. He felt awful about it, still does, and anytime he’s between your legs for fun he kisses the scars in apology. Also he found the rest of the edible underwear you’d intended to use with others and ate them like a snack. You’ve decided to not bother with them anymore.

- Belphie and Satan ask you to every Anti-Lucifer League meeting. If you don’t attend, they email you the minutes of their meeting to see if you wanna join in in pranks.

- Despite your bedroom lock being enchanted, Diavolo can and has waltzed into your room and started cuddling you. Barbatos chastizes him every time as he comes in with him, but it still happens.

- You have shown Simeon the movie ‘Sister Act’. It’s now his favorite movie. You two sometimes sing ‘Ave Maria’ together, stomping and clapping the beat. Luke joins in when he can.

-You had a custom plush made for Levi of his goldfish. He cried tears of joy and it now sits in a glass case in his room.

OKAY PROPAGANDA TIME! @yttd-enjoyerNo pressure for any of these lol, I added a lot because rambling and procrastination. I’m copy-pasting some descriptions from another post of mine. I was trying to look for some with good lore and magic systems, or that had great characters.

Cursed Princess Club: This one is adorable and hilarious. It’s a fantasy and comedy. The Pastel Kingdom has four children. The eldest, Maria, is 18, and so beautiful that forest animals follow her when she sings. The second oldest, Lorena, is 17, and so beautiful that flowers grow where she sleeps. The third child is prince Jamie, who is so beautiful that he is constantly GLOWING (literally.) And his twin sister, Gwendolyn, is the sweetest and perhaps most loved of all! The three sisters are happily engaged to the Plaid Princes. When Gwen meets her soon to be betrothed, though…. he finds her to be really, really, ugly. Gwen has to learn to love herself as she is with the help of a club for cursed princesses (and one prince who wants to change the club name desperately.) It’s hilarious. Someone swallows her fiance whole. Jamie can taste feelings through food and keeps accidentally violating HIPPA. Lorena beats the crap out of a bunch of clowns. Gwen keeps getting mistaken for an evil witch. There’s a really spoiled drunk llama named Laverne. Maria buys merch of her boyfriend’s fanclub. There’s an omniscient clam. It’s a glorious disaster. (Also that was what the screenshots I was losing my mind and spamming last night. I relate to the plaid guy on an eerie level. This one has INCREDIBLE character arcs and parallels and foreshadowing and details and AUGH)

Space Boy: This one is one of my all-time favorites, and I believe it deserves an award for it’s realistic character arcs and characters. I’d be convinced if you told me they were real people. Sci-Fi Romance. (A lot of romance. Not a particular favorite genre of mien it’s just like 70% of all Webtoons.) In the far future, humanity is exploring the furthest reaches of space using the freezing sleep thing (real thing, forgot name.) Amy lives happily on a mining colony in deep space, until her father loses his job, and she and her family are sent away from the colony, and everyone she knows, back to Earth, where she wakes up 30 years later (frozen sleep thing.) Amy is adjusting to life on Earth, the new technology, and trying to come to terms with the fact her best friend is now in her 40s and she’s missed it all in sleep. Amy’s identifying trait is synesthesia: to her, people have flavors to match their personalities! Well, everyone except a strange boy she meets a school, who refuses to speak to her, and doesn’t have a flavor, Oliver. Amy decides that she WILL find this kid’s flavor if it kills her, and manages to get herself roped in the most chaotic mystery involving ancient cults, alien artifacts, unsolved murders, a government conspiracy, and whether or not Oliver is actually who he says he is. It’s so sad but I love it so much and I want to send everyone to therapy. I don’t even like sci-fi usually so this was amazing for me.

Nomads: ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITES. The concept is your stereotypical “there were five kingdoms after a war 100 years ago:” the Sun, Sea, Sand, Sky, and Snow kingdoms. To maintain the peace, traveling between the kingdoms is banned for average citizens. You may, however, choose to become a Nomad, and travel for a price: you can never have a permanent home. Lance of the Sea Kingdom REALLY doesn’t want to be a Nomad. However, his little brother Mikah goes missing, and Lance has to find him in one year (once Mikah turns 18 it’ll be impossible to find him.) It’s going well and dandy until some unfortunate circumstances result in him, his new traveling buddy Satra, and a magic talking cat-thing being mistakenly accused of kidnapping a prince. And now they’re wanted bounties. (This comic is HILARIOUS so many shenanigans and I love Satra so much.)

Castle Swimmer: Can’t reveal TOO much of this ‘cause spoilers but it’s a really really good story. It’s a fantasy romance too. In this society of “Mers” (merfolk), every kingdom has long awaited the day a mysterious, mythicaeing known as the Beacon arrives. He will grant each kingdom’s prophecy, be that granting them fortune or saving their lives. When the Beacon arrives, though, turns out he’s literally just some kid named Kappa who has no idea what he’s doing. Siren is the prince of the shark kingdom. They have a curse that will cause them to suffer and become covered in scars and eventually die. The only way they can break the curse is whenever the Beacon arrives—and Siren, as predicted, will kill him. The only problem is that Siren REALLY doesn’t want to be a murderer, and Kappa REALLY doesn’t want to die, and they both are pining HARD. 

Suitor Armor: This is a romantic fantasy but I like it because it doesn’t feel boiled down to JUST a “will they won’t they.” Fairies and humans have been at war for as long as anyone can remember, with heavy losses on both sides. A Lord rescues a child, a little girl named Lucia, to be his daughter, Kirsi’s, lady-in-waiting until Kirsi marries a nearby king. The only issue? Lucia is a fairy, and she and the Lord must hide that if she wants to live. After they’ve grown up, Kirsi and Lucia go to the nearby kingdom to prepare for the wedding, where Lucia meets their mage’s newest creation: an enchanted, sentient suit of armor named Modeus. And now we’re all aggressivley shipping a tin can with one of the coolest women ever. (And I LOVE the magic system in this… we don’t know everything yet, it’s being revealed as time progresses, but it’s amazing in my humble little opinion.)

Homesick: Recommending this one since you’ve read School Bus Graveyard! It’s almost a “sister series” in that the fanbases overlap lots and the creators have done collabs too! Disclaimer that it’s mature for a reason. It covers a lot of dark topics and is a HORROR FOR A REASON. School Bus Graveyard is incredibly dark, but it sort of eases you in to the terror while Homesick tosses you in like a flailing child. If you do choose to read it I can provide trigger warnings, though it may spoil some plotlines a bit. Rayne (my pfp!) wakes up on a rooftop with no memories at all and meets a boy named Samael, who quickly informs her that it’s the apocalypse. Cannibalistic creatures called murks roam the land, feeding on anything that makes eye contact. Rayne and Samael form a deal to survive, but things get really, REALLY messy when they encounter someone from Samael’s past and get wrapped up in something that might just be worse than the apocalypse. On top of it all, Rayne has noticed some strange things about herself, including terrible headaches that warn her of murks… (It’s so good I love it but good lord it gets dark. I really want to say more about it but the story doesn’t jump right into the main action or plot right away so I CAN’T WITHOUT SPOILING IT SOB.)

Okay limiting myself to six for now sheesh I typed a lot.

Elsie rant

so this is my Elsie rant, I really wanted to talk about multiple things to really get the rant in, so I will be talking about lancia heartstrings and birdhouse

First up lancia, so I saw stars rant about lancia already, about how icia sees him as a king and how she thinks lance sees her as his queen, I'm just going to say lance dosent quite see her as an equal and that's because of her previous status, because she's stronger then him physically and had a higher social status then him, he also saw icia as a step above him, he trusts her of course, but he trusts her with the things that he can't do, and the things he can't do are supposed to be things that he can do ect getting into the stereotypical gender roles, he also saw icia as someone better then him because we all know he used to know his past before the circus, and it was either bad enough where he wanted to get away or he wanted to run from problems he created, he saw her as someone better because she didn't have to run from problems she created, he did, and needles to say he felt terrible about it. After Raina was deleted with those memories was the point in time where he started seeing her as more of an equal, where he started to understand that everyone has things that they're good at and every relationship is a yin yang of what one can do for the other

Tldr: lance saw icia as someone above him aswell because of her abilities and his cowardness

Heartstrings: I have no clue what to write here, it's very clear that Jessy sees dusk as an equal that was said to her day 1 so that's not news, I feel like I've definitely fleshed out Jessy alot since I first introduced him and that shows alot aswell. His whole mindset is around "inertia" the concept of "everything will keep moving and you can't really stop it so you gotta keep moving with it" and that has kept him sane for a long time clearly, he does want to go home back to the real world of course but he has already accepted that that won't happen and it's not the end of the world

Birdhouse: THESE TWO ARE SO FUCKING CUTE, I have no idea how else to put it. Clara, a person of a really harsh abusive toxic past and chip with no past at all, I honestly have no idea the thought process behind this, but if I had to guess is would have been dusk seeing that clara was trying to help mix, her friend, and knew she needed help but couldn't help herself, I could be 100% wrong idk but that's what I think. I honestly didn't expect child out of this but I am so happy we got child out of this, chip is 100% the reason why clara embraced themselves, if chip never ran off into that train station that would have never happened I don't think. Also I really like throwing in the detail that they're colorblind, like completely colorblind no color whatsoever, I did use Google and this is a things that can happen but it causes sensitivity to light and I think partial blindness, but this is a digital world not the real one. (yes I did just pull the "cartoon logic" card) they have never seen color in their lives, and that would make for a very cute moment (and yes that random ask for Clara's favorite color was a random color, it's a color they hear alot associated with them so that's what they choose, it's also the color described for chip)

[bitsandbobsofwriting]

Gorgeous, excellent, perfection, absolutely exquisite. Lovely to see you back and every second was well worth the wait of reading more of your work. I cannot wait for the second part (except that I’d wait many years to read it still). Hope life is treating you as well as you deserve and that writing is still a fun hobby/outlet rather than a chore. Never feel obligated to write or to share, but please know that I’m grateful for every time you do.

(Merlin’s anger is wonderful and needed and exquisite cause you can still read all the protectiveness that it partially roots from while still seeing all the past slights that turned it into this quick temper when faced with the knights/Arthur. And Arthur’s earlier almost “where’s Merlin” was such a wonderful touch. Adore having some of Leon’s perspective thrown in there, he’s always a personal favorite. The connection between Merlin and Mordred and his ability to see the bigger picture, to forgive things that shouldn’t have been in question to begin with, the bond formed now that Merlin is not up close to it all is just lovely. I could go on and on because there’s not one piece that lacked my attention and love) -c

(Referencing This Fic)

Not me having to leave the living room and have a big happy stim and cry after reading this🥺

It's been really tough for me to get things out recently, not for any bad reasons, I'm just very busy and have a lot of other things that are giving me more motivation, but it means so much to me that I have people waiting so patiently for my stuff!!

I absolutely still enjoy writing, and when I get into it, I get really into it. I'm on a bit of a roll at the moment (touch wood), so hopefully that continues long enough that I can at least finish this fic😅.

And I'm glad you picked up on so much!!! Merlin is such an integral part of Arthur's life, he definitely struggles to cope long term with the fact that Merlin is gone and is actually for real not coming back this time. And I hate when writers dismiss the friendships between Merlin and everyone except Arthur, Lance, Gwaine and Gwen. Yes, he may have been closer to those four, but he still spent significant amounts of time with the others.

This will be explained in more detail later on in the story, but Merlin got to a point in his relationship with Freya where... waiting was no longer an option. He'd waited and waited, and Freya was happy to go along with it and would be happy to continue, but... Merlin wasn't? So yeah, he still cares about the knights and Camelot, he doesn't really want them to die or suffer too much, but he is angry, and he didn't really want to see them ever again, and he'd forced himself to stop prioritising destiny. Because it wasn't just himself he was dismissing now, it was Freya, and the life they could have together (that they now do have) if he'd just turned his back on the prophecies. So as hard as it was, he made that decision, and it turned out to be the best thing he's ever done, and not caring about the prophecies means... he can be objective when it comes to Mordred. He can begin to see him as just a scared boy with magic, just like him, with so much faith and a heart so big it hurts. And he resents Arthur more, outside of failing as The Once and Future King, because he saw a teenager, a child, hold up a sword almost bigger than him and say "I want to fight!" with his chubby fingers and puppy-fat cheeks, and said "Yeah, alright." and what the shit is up with that?! Ya know??

We ALSO say FUCK toxic masculinity in the next bit :)))

Anyway. Shit is gonna go down. But there will be a happy ending :D

I love you guys so much <3

Lance appreciation post!

it's something I saw about Sebastian and I thought it was a cute idea so feel free to add more (I didn't have a lot of ideas)

- he loves monsters and researching more about them, he is pretty respectful when he does so (14 heart event)

- overall he is super respectful and such a gentleman as seen in many of his interactions

- a nerd <3

Oh, I've been itching to write something about Lance for a long time, and you gave me a reason to add a little more headcanon for my favorite character 😃 I added comments to your headcanons because they are great ❤️❤️❤️

_________________________________________

- he loves monsters and researching more about them, he is pretty respectful when he does so (14 heart event) - absolutely (but it was 12❤️ event 😅). I really like how respectful and responsible he was in studying the monster. In my mind, in the circle of magicians and adventurers, people mainly study monsters to understand how it is easier to kill them for the valuable monster loot or simply exterminating them as parasites. Lance mentions more than once in his dialogues (both in normal ones and in his spouse’s dialogues) that monsters are “something more than a set of fangs and claws trying to kill all living things”, therefore he treats all living things with respect, and will pull out a sword against monsters only when absolutely necessary.

- overall he is super respectful and such a gentleman as seen in many of his interactions - here his parents/guardians are real really the best. Of course, Lance may have such a character in view of his self-education, but I am more inclined to the version that he was instilled with the golden rule "good manners are the key to everything" as a child. They did everything possible to bring up a good person in Lance.

- a nerd <3 - you are absolutely right, and no one will convince me that Lance is not a nerd. I wrote more than one headcanon that he is a secret board game lover and often talks with Jadu on all sorts of different nerdy topics.

_________________________________________

I have a few ideas about Lance headcanon 😃 These ideas are mostly general, but maybe I'll discover something new in them and be able to write more headcanons:

_________________________________________

gossip (respectful) - if I'm not mistaken, @nimillaarts first mentioned this Lance headcanon. I did a couple of studies on this, and this headcanon has every right to exist. But while Lance may be a gossip, I think he will not overstep the bounds in discussing recent events due to his good upbringing.

collector - he's sentimental about his small collection, whether it's enchanted rings and artifacts or just seashells he finds while on patrol.

he is ambidextrous - given that Lance, at his rather young age for a magician (I give somewhere up to 26-27 years old), is a talented combat magician, I believe his magic gift and innate abilities contributed to this. He learns quickly, solves difficult problems quickly, writes his book with both hands with equal efficiency, etc.

big fan of chivalric novels - although I mentioned earlier that in my headcanon, it is the parents that are the main reason for Lance's well-bred upbringing, I also believe that our gallant adventurer still gained some experience of communicating with people from such novels. Let's be honest, Lance in the game talks and acts like a noble knight. Of course, unlike the heroes of all these books, he is prudent and not overflowing with pathos. But still, there is a resemblance in Lance to the heroes of chivalric novels in books that Lance likes to read in his spare time.

Blaine.... Do you ever think about Blaine? The eldest. The golden child.

Blaine was born into his mother's trembling arms, the last of his mother being born with his soul, and he is passed onto his father. Everybody around him seems to be slightly scared, except for Father.

Father is in control. He swiftly makes commentary - the color of his brilliant eyes, the messiness of his brown hair, the pale of his skin and the sturdiness he already has.

His childhood is spent watching his father, watching people, taking notes. There's a bit of pride that comes with getting what he wants, with not getting yelled at.

He has brothers, each born a year after the other. two brothers. Lance, blue. Frederick, green. Blaine is red; proud red, blood red, Mother's red. He's father's- not favorite. Father's most preferred, always a position that can be replaced.

Frederick is sickly but has potential- has the same eye Blaine sees himself as having, that same intelligence. It's frightening. He's too aware, like Blaine is. Lance is wild, happy, safe. He doesn't seem to get it. He makes friends outside of The Family, he breaks the rules and laughs loudly and Blaine is scared.

Then he gets a bit bigger. Things have just started making sense.

Father doesn't throw cups at him as he gets older. He's merely a part in Father's game, but, if he pretends hard enough, he thinks that he's an important piece. He thinks he knows how to play it well- because Father cares. He must care, even if he doesn't show it.

Mother, however, loves him- just a little bit. He can tell, he can tell everything. He looks at her, and he looks at himself. He takes after her. (does father wish otherwise?)

Blaine is not born perfect. He was born crying, and crying is not what a Plaid son does. He learns not to cry and not to frown and how to be so, so charming. Because that's what he is- charming as a snake. He learned how to smile the right way when he was about eight, staring at himself in the mirror. Self awareness comes to him easily- too easily. Father taught him to look, and that's what he does.

He's about fifteen when he begins modeling. Sixteen when the shirtless pictures begin. The academy is spent on Student Council. He builds his reputation, watches over Lance (because, god, does he ever stop getting himself into trouble?) And, truly, he's good at what he does. He learns to be perfect at it.

He charms people. He does what he needs to do, in order to be liked. In order to be safe. In order to be happy. It's hard to balance being all three- safe, liked, and happy. Happiness is the least important of the three.

He reads philosophy books, does a dignified sport (nothing like the kind Lance won't shut up about), and is both lean and built well, healthy-looking and relatable, real but out of one of those romance book. Perfect.

He does what Father tells him to- and that's what his brothers can't understand. Father knows best. Father is who's in control of their futures, of their scars. Father is the only thing that really keeps his life together.

How can he survive without that? How can anyone survive without climbing that mountain, that one goal making sure everything, everything, was worth it?

"my Blaine," she says, a cheek on his face. It's gentle, loving. Mother, he thinks.

He turns away. The carriage ride is silent. Lance won't stop fidgeting, and he knows what Father thinks of it.

The war has started.

By anonymous request, today we present to you Sigurd!

Sigurd is the main character and lord of the first half of the game Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, released for the Super Famicom system in 1996. He's mentioned within the following game, Thracia 776, and has a variety of units in the Heroes mobile game. Sigurd, and Genealogy as a whole, are fan favorites of the franchise, and are notable for breaking new ground in a number of ways - for example, Sigurd was the first Lord unit to have a mount or the ability to use lances. This becomes important in a second.

Due to the graphic limitations at the time of the game's release, Sigurd isn't much to look at physically. He's no mountain of a man, but he's no waif, either, sporting shoulders easily five times the width of his hips, as was the art style prevalent for the time. It can be assumed, however, from his martial prowess that he is more fit than the average person within his universe. What is notable about Sigurd is his strength and his metaphorical beefiness as a playable unit – though he can initially be dismissed by hardcore fans as the "Jagan" of his game (IE, a prepromoted unit that has a tendency to steal experience at the detriment of other units' development), Sigurd's reputation as potentially the most broken unit in the Fire Emblem franchise must be addressed. His stat bases and growths are incredible, he is a mounted unit in a game with the largest maps in the franchise, and he has the rare "genetic" ability to attack twice (a mechanic adjusted in later games to be become standard). It is not unusual to find entire runs just using Sigurd, because those 80's-broad shoulders truly can carry the entire first half of the game. Beefy, perhaps not especially, but strong? The numbers speak for themselves.

But strength is nothing without kindness, and Sigurd continues to shine in this regard. A picture of knightly ideals, the entire game's premise hinges on Sigurd's willingness to fight for the smallfolk of his duchy and the kingdom at large, and to put himself on the line. It must be mentioned at this point that this boy is more heart than sense, because as soon as he learns that shenanigans are afoot (something that he recognizes far before his peers, to his credit), he sets off by himself to stop them. Not "by himself" in the way we normally use it in wartime contexts, wherein we mean "he and a small retinue" - we mean individually, as a man, by himself. Along the way he picks up friends and allies to help him out (and chastise him for being so fucking dumb), but this man really did think to himself "you know who ought to be enough to stop an entire army? Me." The layers of meta in that Sigurd-only speedrun strat make this author's head spin.

And now Sigurd's most exemplary characteristic: is Sigurd a slut? Does Sigurd fuck? For anyone passing familiar with the game, the answer is a trumpeting fanfare of yes, but it cannot be overemphasized how much this is true. In the middle of the invasion of a neighboring castle during the very first chapter, future-wife and mother of his child Deirdre wanders out of a nearby forest for like five minutes to check out what all the hubbub is about. Sigurd takes one (1) look at this random ass woman and decides "that's it, I'll throw it all away right here" - excepting of course that he can have his cake and eat it too, because he's Sigurd, so they marry in the same cutscene, and very, very shortly thereafter have a child.  The speed at which this man went penis delirious cannot be exaggerated, and the ramifications for Little Sigurd's curiosity build the foundation for the entire second half of the game.

No matter what you think of Sigurd as a character, as a unit, as a man, real recognizes real - and that's a real himbo.

Total Himbo Score: 20

               【  𝐥𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐧𝐬 !  】

been having many thoughts about my child. i did a little section for tidbits in his intro but i decided to add onto it because no thoughts just the red ear slider turtle boy. 

added inspo figured out. more to come most likely but this is what i’ve got so far !   dick grayson ( dc ) , kendall knight ( big time rush ) , lance mcclain ( voltron: legendary defender ) , sokka ( avatar the last airbender ) , peter parker ( spiderman comics )

> PREVIOUS HEADCANONS.

he gave himself his middle name. leo likes space and space media. he felt naming himself after jim kirk would be a cool move.

he has vitiligo around his eyes in the same pattern red-eared slider turtles do. would be in the same place the red is here. 

he is gay !! but he doesn’t know it yet … it’s a little self discovery journey he’ll have here in elias. 

he doesn’t know when his actual birthday is. splinter just assigned them random days.

he does have medical trauma from his days of being experimented on. he just blocks it out really well. the fact that he’s the medic of the gang is ironic. he can help others with ease but the moment someone tries to help him in that sense or he’s taken to a doctors office he freaks out.

the turtle transformation is painful so now leo will only transform if he absolutely has to … or if he needs to win a dance competition or something because he’ll do whatever it takes to win. 

he loves glam rock. if he could have background music when he fights rock you like a hurricane would be playing thank you !!

> NEW HEADCANONS.

thunderstorm enthusiasts. 

has heterochromia ( blue and brown ) from mutations. when in turtle form his eyes turn blue. in turtle form his red slider marking are in fact red and not pigmentations. this translates to lorena as well. 

theatre kid. ( derogatory ). will take karaoke night very seriously and can sing very well. ( x )

as a kid he was afraid of donnie’s softshell getting seriously injured, so he started researching how to heal softshell injuries along the way he decided to learn more medical stuff just in case. 

banned from asking splinter questions about their origins after leo asked an innocent question that revealed splinter didn’t actually know how old they were. 

speaking of his actual birthday is august 14th. leo is indeed a leo. 

cannot do math for the life of him.

 got scolded a lot more than the others as a kid; it’s why he’s so hard on himself and doesn’t take criticism lightly.

has really great taste in men visually but literally always misses the glaring red flags.

has an extremely flirty personality but when speaking to someone he actually finds attractive my man has no game. cannot pull whatsoever. his brothers are better at flirting at he hates it thanks !

called people ‘babe’ ironically at first, but now he can’t stop.

he sunbathes and tries to convince the others to come with him 

ate a frog for $5 once. purposely freaked mikey out with it. 

he likes nonverbal communication a lot and prefers it when he’s in a mood 

when it gets super cold he and donnie bundle up for what donnie calls “The Brumation Period” and leo calls “The Super Nap” and they just sleep on the couch together for like three straight days

once asked mikey to doodle on him when they were younger and kept his favorite drawing in his pocket once he found out what a tattoo was and plans to get it .. you know when he’s a real person in the eyes of big brother.

would never admit it but watching horror movies gives him nightmares sometimes and he has to hang in raphs room when he can’t sleep. whenever he can’t sleep you can find him in raph’s room tbh. he feels safer in there because he knows raph will keep him safe.

leo has a little bag filled with medical supplies. takes his role as the group’s medic seriously. 

insomnia due to mutation complications. his slider sleeping requirement and human sleeping requirements did not mesh too well. 

fluent in spanish and has spanish nicknames / pet names for literally everyone. 

tw. child experimentation: he and donnie are ‘twins’, loving dubbed the disaster twins. when they were being experimented on the two shared a cage. experiencing the trauma they did together left them ridiculously co-dependant. one is never seen without the other. it might be a problem but it’s a problem they don’t want to address. 

has a small fear of heights after he got dropped from a roof. he almost died and didn’t realize he was in actual danger until raph yelled at him. 

listens to 2000s pop RELIGIOUSLY. britney spears, katy perry, rihanna, kesha, miley cyrus, etc, etc, etc.

big fan of magic. he’s tried to impress his brothers by showing them a few magic tricks. he actually works very hard so they’ll think he’s cool.

he’s a biter. he bites people affectionately, not hard but just a little chomp. he didn’t a lot when he was younger now not as much. maybe when he’s feeling really affectionate. 

does not believe in ghosts. will listen to his brother’s ramblings ( if they believe ) but always reminds them that ghosts aren’t real. 

he’s the fastest of his siblings. he’s mastered keeping his movements light and quick. he might not have the fastest reaction time out of all his siblings but he’s the first one to catch a baseball if you threw one a the group. leo might not be able to deliver hard hits like his brothers can, but he makes up for it by using his speed, portals and a plan to get the upper hand in a fight. 

he’s not a hard hitter so much as he manipulates objects to hit hard for him, usually with the help of his portals. 

he can easily adapt in a fight. he may not expect the unexpected but he can work with it and play it off thanks to his confidence. he can be so caught up in himself and his goals to win. whatever he’s doing that he ends up with tunnel vision in the middle of a battle. 

leo has a win at all costs attitude when fighting. he will do whatever it takes to come out the other side with bragging rights, whether he’s earned those rights or not. 

humor is his coping mechanism. he used to make the others laugh when they were younger and being experimented on to try to cheer them up or distract them. if he’s laughing whatever's happening can’t be that bad or it won’t feel as real if he doesn’t acknowledge it. so he refuses to take situations seriously. leo also jokes to overcompensate for his insecurities, a fear of being average, and his perfectionism. knowing that helps you see that he does the same thing while fighting.

great strategist. he might not always be the one that makes a plan but he’s usually the one to bring ideas into action. 

he can be just as intelligent as donnie but he’s street smart instead of book smart. 

he feels like he’s nothing without his brothers because of that, he sometimes shows off as much as possible in a fight in order to earn glory and praise that could separate him from any other fighter. 

he doesn’t think he’s a good leader and does everything in his power to prove to his brothers that he isn’t a good leader. lot of self sabotage in hope raph will be leader again. 

very self-sacrificing. is willing to put himself in danger for the safety and well being of others. it’s not that he wants to die but leo’s very careless with his life. if he dies he dies. it goes back into leo thinking he needs his brothers more than they need him so he’s willing to throw himself into the line of fire if it means they get a chance at survival. he feels most people in his life don’t need him as much as he needs them. he took the whole it’s not about me thing a little too literally 

he never screams whenever he wakes up from a nightmare, so it’s difficult for someone to tell he’s even having one. before he wakes up, he just curls into himself, clutches his blankets close, and wakes up sweaty and shaking. even after awhile they never fully go away. 

in the future he loses his right arm while saving donnie. ( let’s give it up for the self-sacrificing baby !! ) once donnie was done being pissed at leo for almost dying ( let’s be honest they were all upset with him ), his brother joked it was karma for when donnie saved leo from shredder during the fight that sent them to elias. leo yelled at him for at least an hour saying he got to keep his arm. 

took literal months to convince him to go to therapy because ‘what if the healthy coping mechanisms make me lose my swag’ after a while he talks to his therapist like they’re his best friend. strolls in like he owns the place sunglasses and all.

harbors a lot of resentment towards his younger self. it fucks him up on the daily when lorena acts exactly like how he did when she was his age. he has to constantly remind himself that they’re two different people and lorena is not him, well, not fully. she’s her own person and deserves to be. 

when it came to saving aerwyn, leo was absolutely ready to take her in because he saw himself in her in that moment. had splinter not taken in him and his brothers, leo knows they would have been used for evil. their lives would have been worse than what they were already given which was pretty damn rough. the thought of the little girl falling into that kind of trap solidified her being adopted.

he becomes the leo we know from most other iterations, the mature traditional leader, in the future. he’s a little stricter in the future but mostly when it comes to training the next generation of hamatos. honestly the tired old man who’s a father / uncle figure to too many kids. if you’re wondering yeah, master leonardo has gray hairs and he does indeed dye it. refuses to gray first he’s too hot for this.

Trans Flynn Rider

Flynn and Rapunzel had just been married. They had quite an adventure before. Flynn had stolen the Lost Princesses crown and hid in a tower from the royal guards and the brothers he worked with. There he met Rapunzel; a girl who never left her tower and only wanted to see the lanterns on her birthday. If he took her to them she would give him the crown. The two met some colorful characters and got in some wacky events before doing so. When they did it was wonderful. Flynn had fallen in love with her. He decided he didn't want the money anymore and gave the crown back to the brothers before they tricked them and handed him off to the guards. Flynn escaped with some help from some friends and saved Rapunzel from her her kidnapper who pretended to be her mother. Rapunzel was reunited with her parents and the kingdom was happy. Now they were on their honeymoon in a small little cabin.

“I can't believe we're finally married.” Rapunzel smiled.

“Hey, if you had asked earlier I would have said yes.” Rapuznel had a half cock smile. “Okay. I wanted to ask you sooner but I was scared your dad would give me the evil eye.”

“He loves you. You helped him give his daughter back.”

“Though He thinks I'm going to steal something from you. Though me getting you pregnant is impossible.” Rapuznel walked over to Flyyn and sat on the bed.

“You never fully told be about your child. What the place you lived at was like. Your family. How you found out who you were.”

“I usually don't like to talk about it.”

“You can share it with me, can't you?” He looked up at Rapunzel who was looking at him. He nodded.

“Things were different when I lived in the orphanage.”

A young Eugene was living in the orphanage with some other kids. He didn't remember his parents too much. He didn't know if they were alive or not. Some kids who were there had parents who couldn't afford them. Others were they because they didn't want to be parents. Then some were there because their parents were In jail, dead, or any other reason. Eugene was getting his lunch a girl came up.

“Eliza!” A girl named Penny said. “Wanna play dolls with me?” Eugene groaned at that. He didn't hate Mary or anything; she was a nice girl; but he hated that game.

“Maybe later. I'm busy now.”

“You always say that.”

“But I am.”

“You once said it when you were looking at the clouds.”

“I was studying them.” Eugene lied.

“You? Study? Yeah, and maybe you're marry a princess one day.”

“Playing with dolls just isn't my thing.”

One other thing Eugene hated were dresses. To him they were annoying. He almost tripped several times, wind got up in them, and they were just too pretty for his taste. When some clothes were donated to the orphanage he got a wear of pants to wear.

“You know, Eliza it's not proper for a young lady to wear pants.” Molly one of the workers said.

“I've seen some women wear some.”

“That because It was for a certain job not because they wanted too. Now why don't I get a pretty dress for you.”

“No thank you.”

“All right. But if you get made fun of don't blame me.”

One thing Eugene liked to do was read in his spare time. He read a few interesting books but his favorite books were about heroes. Men in tunics and swords saving the day amazed him. Oh how he wanted to be like him. By far his favorite was a story called Flynnigan Rider. He went on trilling adventures and the more Eugene read them the more he wanted to be him. Soon he realized he didn't just want to be him but he wanted to be a boy.

“I think I'm a boy.” Eugene said to his friend Arnwaldo.

“What makes you think that?” He asked.

“I just feel like I am. As a boy people will take me much more seriously when I become an adventurer. I also have a knew name; Eugene.”

“Eugene?” He laughed.

“Well, my real name that is. My nick name will be Flynn Rider. Have you made one yet?”

“Yeah. Lance Strongbow.”” “I like it. So you ready to adventure out?”

“Let's do it.” He smiled.

So the two escaped the orphanage and traveled the kingdom. Flynn soon became one of the most well known jewel thiefs in the kingdom. In one take he and Lance stole some oranges from a market.

“Okay, you know what to do?” Flynn asked.

“You bet I do.” Flynn hid behind some boxes and Lance got in the middle of the market.

“Gather everyone for I can preform magic!” A crowd gathered around him. “You, little boy what's that behind your ear?

“Huh?” The boy said. Lance then pulled a coin out and gave it to the boy. The crowd clapped. After a few more tricks we went over to the fruit seller. “Pick a card. Any card.” While this happened Flynn was sneaking to wear the oranges were. The man picked a card and put it back.

“Is this your card?” Lance asked.

“Nope.”

“Oh, what about this one?” Flynn signaled to keep it going.

“No.”

Ummm, this one?” The man started getting annoyed. Flynn nodded his head he was done but when he got the last orange to put in the bag the rest on the pile fell.

“Huh? THIEFS!” The man yelled. Flynn and Lance ran as fast as they could to the safety of their hideout.

“Sometime later Flynn was getting tired of his binder. Lance said he knew a doctor who could help with that. It took a while to steal enough stuff to pay it off but they eventually got it. The doctor removed his breast.

“You know I kind of like the scars. They make me look bad.” Flynn said.

“You think ladies will like it?”

“If they don't I can always give them the smolder.” Flynn gave his smolder face making Lance laugh.

Flynn also were given weird ingredients to give him facial hair. He finally got the goatee he always wanted.

“You know. There's no way the orphanage would be able to find me now.”

“I don't think they would.” The two men shared a laugh.

Flynn later met Rapunzel and saved her. He later told her the truth.

“I hope you don't hate me know.” He said after telling her.” Rather than walk away she kissed him.

Back in the present Flynn finished his story.

“So while I wasn't a lost princess who had 70 foot long magic hair that was used by a woman as old as dirt I still like my story.”

“I don't know. I would love to read a story likes yours in a book.” Flynn smiled at that thinking of a knew idea to get rich. Rapunzel gace him a look.

“Okay, fine. But it would have been a best seller.”

Farewell The Walking Dead

This is not much an expository piece as much of it is an opinion. A relatively popular show in recent history is known as The Walking Dead. It is finally coming to a grinding halt at its 13th season, likely to open up room for spin-offs, and rival production teams to branch off. It should also be noted The Walking Dead is now a title on Disney + (UK)

The original seasons of The Walking Dead traversed parts of Atlanta, showing Rick’s character in a sort of singular conflict. This as with the later Darryl focused episodes, tredded better ground than ones which seem to focus on the group, jumping from the conflicts of a deaf person to all sorts of stuff (even a 3D tiger). In my opinion the earlier show is what drove the popularity, the later institutionalization of it, led to a jumping over the shark effect. If Fonzie jumped the shark some 18 more times in individual episodes after. Like Gilligan and the island, TWD relied on tropes usually limiting or altogether hampering a lead character’s ability to seemingly escape the show. Rick and The Junkyard lady are the only early escapees, and after he leaves the show, the show really lost its grips. For a while it tried to course back on track, but would fall victim of crowd-funded script decisions, that were usually more in lieu of driving individual actor’s careers than the whole show.

TWD has an interesting presence still, even given its room for ridiculous redundancy, and occasionally good acting performances, as well as bad. The current show is definitely a strange joke of what it once was, but maybe beating the dead horse is the proper ending to such a mess of a mid-show conflict. I recall the show getting particularly stupid after the Rick/Negan stained glass attack. But I still sat it through, and I plan to watch it to the end, no matter how stupid it gets. And believe me from the child narrated flashbacks every episode, it gets real stupid.

I think most true fans of the show want to see it ended. It can’t do much more, and arguably the show was mostly over when they discovered the disease center in that arena place. I would say that about surmised the show. The current show is so lost, that even a conclusion won’t setup for an easy transfer, that’s why hopefully a lot of these supporting characters die off somehow. The story has way too many driving elements, and every character has been given way too much room for survival. Obviously by the spin-offs announced it can be assumed Negan, Rick, Michonne, Darryl, Carol, and a few others will be making it out. I forecast Eugene is gonna go the way of Abraham, he has had a really long go, and all he keeps doing is things in reflection of self-interest (love in the apocalypse is sweet, but shit man isn’t there better things you can be focusing on). He also puts the safety of the group at risk multiple times for what turns into some, “be sorry for me, I just love her”, or whatever. I’ve kind of had it with his arc, and I hope him and the commonwealth go their own way. Also those Stephanie reaction shots look like they were taken out of a smooth jazz adult film.

I’ve noticed that most of the episodes done by Bear Mc and Greg Nicotero on set, tend to be the best. These had a sort of gritty realness, that seems intentionally sapped in later episodes. Be this for a sensitization of hopes of a child-centric series, I’m truly not sure what they going for here. My favorite arc of the show was the Darryl arc with his brother. To me that was the most powerful, and the earlier conflicts without leading tyrants, tended to have more impact. Almost all of the leading bad guys have their bad acting moments in the show. From Lance’s over-done eye movements, to the Governor’s stale presence not many of the bad guys were as well-acted as the main characters (besides Negan of course, phenomenal performance all through-out, even when show is doo doo butter).

In recent shows, TWD has had a really long run. It didn’t quite break the record, but it definitely set a standard for any zombie show to come. I personally hope the show goes back to its roots through spin-offs, and away from things certain producers who joined the show wanted to do, many of these things being deviations from the core show. Maybe the later show is just a result of too many chefs in the kitchen, it is unsure why such a mixed meal came from so much work. Overall ending it and starring individual teams and pursuants for those IPs seems to be the best route. Not sure what’ll come next, but the show being freed from itself can only be a good thing

Leverage

Pairing: Alastor Lance x Nicole Blake

Prompt: ❛ you know, they’re going to use the things you love against you. ❜

Warnings: shitty fathers; blackmail; threats of violence

A/N: Oof a dark one

“A hero! Everyone in the world and you’re throwin’ yer future in the Villains’ Order away for a fucking hero?!” His father shouted.

“I’m not throwing anything away. I’m giving up a dangerous life to be with the woman I love,” Alastor replied as he opened the front door of his parents’ house. “I don’t care if you approve or not, I’m marrying her and that’s final.”

“If you marry her I’ll report you to the Order,” Harold threatened.

“Go ahead and do it. If anything happens, you’ll have to live with knowing you killed your own son.”

Alastor slammed the door behind as he left. He was fuming. His father had no right to tell him who he was allowed to marry, Order be damned. He didn’t care about them or their agendas anymore. He had a fiancée at home and she was all that mattered.

Alastor didn’t truly believe his father’s threat. He felt that was going too far, even for the likes of Magma. But he realized he underestimated his father’s hatred for heroes one late night when he came home from the university.

Night classes were his least favorite, and luckily for Alastor he only taught those on Fridays, the latest class ending at 11pm. So when he got home all he wanted to do was curl up in bed beside Nic and hold her and not get up in the morning. He yawned when he opened the bedroom door, and he noticed it was unusually dark. The bedside lamp was on like usual when she went to bed before him, but it was the looming shadows with jagged teeth and wicked grins that made him realize the darkness was unnatural. That, and the woman in dark black clothes and red eyes that sat at the foot of the bed, a foot away from his fiancée. Alastor clenched a fist when he saw the Crimson Mistress sitting on the bed.

With her thick French accent, she spoke. “I always wondered what Kinetica’s real identity was. Nice to finally put a name to the powers.”

“What do you want?” He asked her low, angrily. He was ready for a fight even though they just finished unpacking, he’d hate to have to buy a new house so soon.

She stood from the bed and slowly stepped towards him, an impish smile on her face. “Your father reported to the Order that you’re marrying a hero.”

“Former hero,” he corrected. “And I’m no longer a member of the Order.”

“No, you’re not.” She sized him up for a moment. “But you’re aware of our agendas, our inner workings. I’m sure you know what will happen if you were to reveal any of those to the League of Heroes, or any government authority for that matter.”

“I’m well aware of the consequences of betrayal.”

“Good, because if you do betray us, if you breathe a word of our operations to anyone who might try to stop us–”

“You’ll kill me?” He asked, almost unimpressed with her threat.

“No,” she chuckled darkly, shaking her head. “I’ll kill her.” She gestured to the woman still sleeping in bed, and Alastor’s anger grew.

“If you touch her–”

“Settle, Scourge,” the Mistress said, her tone almost matching a mother soothing a child. “I do not worry about you. You always knew your place. Your loyalty and dedication to me and the Order is appreciated… and respected. It is this reason I grant you leniency.” She sighed, reaching up to cup his face, but Alastor pushed her hand away. “You had such a dark future with the Order, and you gave it up for a hero. But we cannot help we love. For this reason, your father is, how you say, an idiot.”

He blinked at her in surprise. “What?”

“He should not have reported you. You are no threat to the Order’s security, we know this. We will still monitor you, but until you act against us we do not see a reason to interfere in your… relationship. But it’s a shame. I wish you had converted her to our side. She would have made a dangerous villain.”

“So this is your final ruling?”

She nodded. “Don’t cross us.” The Mistress stepped back into the darkness of the room, fading into the shadows. The shadowy figures looming over Nic’s body disappeared into the darkness as well. The unnatural darkness faded, letting the normal lighting of the lamp engulf the room.

Alastor stepped over to the bed and sat beside Nic, brushing strands of hair from her face for a moment. She leaned into his touch and he smiled softly. Gently he shook her shoulder, whispering her name.

She groaned as she woke up, looking at the clock before looking to Alastor. “Al? Is everything okay?” Sitting up, she was able to see the look on his face. “What’s wrong?”

Alastor pull her into his lap and held her close as he buried his face in her neck. “You’re alright, and that’s what matters.”

“Of course I’m alright.” She ran her fingers through his hair. “Why wouldn’t I be?”

He contemplated telling her. If he did, she might break things off, leave him because she’s not willing to risk her life. And if he didn’t tell her, not only was it selfish but it would spare her a lifetime of looking over her shoulder. With all the sacrifices he’s made in his life, he felt he was owed a selfish moment. But their relationship was not based off selfish acts, and he knew he was more likely to lose her by not telling her than if he did.

“The Crimson Mistress just paid us a visit,” he mumbled.

She pulled away abruptly, the fear in her eyes as she looked at him. The one person who had ever come closest to killing her had been in the same room as her while she slept, and Nic didn’t even know it.

“What did she want?” She asked, voice shaking with fear.

God, Alastor thought. All he wanted to do was protect her.

“She came to threaten me. My father told the Order about us,” he explained.

Nic took in a sharp breath. She knew he had been fighting with his father since they announced their engagement, but she didn’t realize it was this bad. Alastor tightened his grip on her waist.

“You know they’re going to use the things you love against you,” she warned.

“I know.” Alastor rested his chin on her head. “And I’m going to protect the things I love no matter what.” He kissed her head. “I won’t let anything happen to you. I’ll die before anyone can lay a finger on you.”

“I know, Al.” She hugged him tightly, burying her face in his shirt. “I’ll be fine as long as I have you. You’re my safe place.” He was tense as he held her, and Nic sighed softly. “Let’s go to bed, babe. It’s late.”

Nic moved off his lap and stood, helping unbutton his shirt. After he shed off his clothes, Alastor climbed into bed beside her. As Nic reached to shut off the light, he stopped her.

“I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep in the dark tonight,” he admitted.

She nodded, pulling her hand away and curling up into his side. Alastor pulled her close against him, clinging to her. He was not willing to let anything happen, not even in his sleep.

Odds And Ends

Here's some stuff I missed from my live-reading of the manga.

There's an abridged series of the anime if you want to watch it here:

2. Here's something I need to apologize for: Kuroyuri's gender was never specified in the manga. In an Omake I probably missed, when asked their gender, they answer, "It's a secret!". I apologize for misgendering the only non-binary member of the cast and I'm sorry to Kuroyuri for being the interesting concept of a genderless character in a such a mediocre manga.

3. The first major female character showed up in chapter 48. Yeah...

4. Teito's first name means "imperial capital", something Kreuz came with on the spot to hide him from the Empire by making him seem like he's a part of it (Imagine hiding your child in the 40s from the Nazis by naming him Austria). His real name, Wahrheit, means "truth". His last name, Klein, is German for "small" because he's a manlet.

5. On that note, Ayanami, Hyuuga, Yukikaze, and Katsuragi are named after Japanese battleships.

6. Zaiphon, the power stuff I could never get a hang of, comes in three types: offensive, healing and manipulation.

7. The entire last arc took place before Teito's sixteenth birthday.

8. Teito's favorite foods are dairy products (because he's a manlet).

9. Frau is German for "woman"...now, a lesser man would say that it's a reference to his lady-chasing ways but us enlightened beings know better.

10. Ouka and Teito share the same birthday. The entire last arc takes place before her sixteenth birthday too.

11. I doubt I brought this up so just in case: Lance is a member of the Oak family.

That's it. So long for now.
