im so crazy over the tragedy of everything q!bbh does being under a demon pretense even though he's a fallen angel.
do u think he just accepts the demon label because it's easier. do u think he believes it too, and catches himself in his thoughts with "oh, right. im not exactly that". and maybe he believes that he did this to himself? do u think what he did was to protect himself or someone? no matter the fall, he still has so much kindness to give and his brain just isn't wired the way a natural-born demon would be, he can't hold back instincts when time demands it, maybe that's why he fell in the first place.
and when he's finally bad, not good, it's treated like the end of the world, without empathy on why he would act out. do you think this keeps happening? the same scenario, multiple times, every timeline? he has to be used to it. so he has to take it in stride. he's good until he lashes out under extreme pressure, and suddenly he's called demon. and once again he's what heaven made him out to be. what he made himself to be, his brain would ruthlessly provide...
i don't think he wants to be that, though he hides secrets behind secrets of which neither identity is a home... but i don't think he wants to have to change, either. and i don't think that's wrong of him.
...you collapse atlantis ONE TIME and all of a sudden YOU'RE the bad guy and SURE it was FUN but REALLY now,--

So after four months, Bell's Hells are off the moon
0.5/5 Stars - Some of the locals were nice but activities were shit and needs new management.
But what's this? Aabria with a steel chair!? She's probably cackling looking at the socials right now

~ A sad thought ~
Steve’s smart when it comes to hiding. Especially if the hiding includes him hurting in some form, either actual injuries or mentally.
Why? Because his parents are distant, dad is a workaholic and mom would rather travel. So, he didn’t grow up with a healthy way of showing emotions and really his only of learning to take care of physical injuries was at school.
By the time he’s in high school no one can figure him out. When the events of the upside down hit, the only one who figured he was hurt each time was one of the kids. Joyce was focused on her kids, Hopper didn’t particularly care for him and was more focused on Joyce’s kids & then El. Nancy was focused on Jonathan (& Mike). So, that leaves Lucas & Dustin. And it’s easy to trick a kid, even smart ones like them. So the first two rounds with the upside down, he easily got away. The third time it was easy enough to convince Robin he was okay after an EMT cleared him.(That all includes the fact that no one sees his panic attacks)
This mostly happened because I was thinking about a hc I saw on here once, it was how in canon Joyce/Hopper probably most likely don’t care too much for Steve (I forget about that with how much fics I read) and then I went down a rabbit hole of what if? Anyway, if I wrote more I’d somehow get it to the point where Dustin or Eddie figures it would OR OR Dustin’s mom finds out. I’m a fucking sucker for Claudia Henderson adopts Steve.

i know i headcanon Foul Legacy to have pretty sparkly wings instead of a cape but consider: if he does have a cape, do y'all think it would be detachable? mostly because i wanna snuggle in it so baaaad :,D
just imagine Foul Legacy finding you when you're so exhausted that you fell asleep at your desk, papers scattered everywhere and pen still in your hand. he whines so softly, looking anxiously around the room- he doesn't want to move you since you've had trouble sleeping at all lately, but you're bound to get cold once the sun sets. so he does the first thing that pops into his head, unhooking his shimmering cape and placing it gently over your shoulders. you shift instinctively and snuggle into the fabric, grasping it in your sleep, and Childe has to hold himself back from cooing in adoration.
he leaves for a moment to fetch more blankets, draping a couple more over you and fashioning a makeshift nest beside your desk so he can curl up next to you. carefully he tugs your limp hand into his hair, purring with delight when it settles in his ginger locks. Archons, you're not even awake and your presence alone comforts him so- past Childe would've scolded present Childe silly for being so head over heels in love, but he doesn't care. Foul Legacy burrows into his little nest with a soft croon, drifting off with the knowledge that you were right here and not going anywhere.
when you wake up, it's dark outside, the thought of all the lost hours making you groan. idly you turn your head to the side and your gaze lands on a slumbering Foul Legacy, curled into a tight ball next to your desk. when you stand something slips from your shoulders, the blankets and night-colored cloak pooling at your feet, and with a small smile you pick up the cape and sit next to Childe, petting his hair. he lets out a sleepy rumble and shifts closer, and you wrap his cape around yourself once more, snuggling into Childe's embrace.
maybe a bit more sleep wouldn't hurt.

I really hope that TSatS features Nico and Will having so many issues around being complicit in Octavian's death, and Nico in addition having so many issues around killing Bryce. On Octavian's end these are children complicit in a gruesome death; necessary or no, that sort of thing's going to stick with them! Especially since as far as we see they never tell anyone about it (Nico might have told Dionysus during their therapy sessions, but as far as I can remember that's not confirmed), which means the only people they can discuss the whole thing with is each other. ...Or I guess Michael Kahale—assuming he's still alive post-ToA, since that's not actually confirmed—but I feel like the understanding between him and them is probably that they Do Not Acknowledge It, assuming they ever see each other at all. Anyway. I'm sure being able to share the weight of what they were part of between the two of them would help, but... well, sharing the burden of being a teenager traumatized by your part in a brutal death with another teenager traumatized by their part in said brutal death is only going to do so much. And I feel like more specifically the fact that Will is a healer would make the whole situation so much worse for him; knowingly standing by and letting someone die knowing he could easily save them would be hard for any hero, but for someone who's dedicated to healing people? Yeesh.
And of course on top of that... Bryce's death is a really cool and dramatic scene that goes way harder than I'd expect a children's book to go, but it's also absolutely horrific. Partially because Nico turns him into a ghost with zero sign of hesitation and that is so much, but I feel like for Nico partially because he doesn't remember it. Like, the fact that he has no memory of killing Bryce gets glossed over in BoO, but he turned a guy into a ghost with no hesitation or mercy and he doesn't remember. He was really angry at Bryce for threatening Reyna, and the next thing he knew the guy was dead (and he'd been knocked out for three days). He has no idea how he did it or even what he was thinking at the time! He was either out of control of his own actions or he wanted to kill Bryce, and he has no way of finding out which. That would be a terrifying thought: either he's a willing murderer (while him killing Bryce was to save Reyna and Hedge and I fully agree with it, it was absolutely murder in a way Octavian's death isn't, Bryce was completely powerless and begging for mercy by the end there) or his powers can hijack his body and push him into doing things that he would never do of his own free will, and he'll probably never know which. Which does beg the question of if anything could set him off like that again, which I feel like is something that would weigh on Nico. I'd love to see him admit that he's actually really scared that something will push him over the edge again and either he'll lose control of his powers and kill someone else or (possibly worse) discover that he was in control when he killed Bryce and did it because he wanted to. Now, I don't think Nico could turn someone into a ghost just like that, my theory is that it was only possible in Bryce's case because Bryce was threatening someone he loved using a closely held secret (which Nico understandably took rather personally) and, more importantly, he was halfway faded out of the living world already; I doubt he could've done it if he hadn't been mostly full of darkness already or if he hadn't been overwhelmed with protective fury at the threat to his dear friend. But whether or not Nico knows that is unclear; I can see him being terrified at the very thought that it's possible that he could snap and kill someone again.
Basically given how TSatS seems like it's going to be largely about All The Trauma, it would feel like a huge failure on Rick's part to not go into how being responsible for Octavian's death absolutely would've fucked Will and Nico up, and also how directly killing Bryce absolutely would've fucked Nico up. If I'm remembering right, setting aside Luke's death—Percy and Annabeth supplied the weapon he stabbed himself with, but I wouldn't call them complicit in it the way Will, Nico and Michael are complicit in Octavian's death since it was entirely Luke's decision in the end—Will and Nico (and Michael Kahale but he's not important currently assuming he's even still alive) are the only protagonists knowingly and willingly complicit in another demigod's death, and Nico is the only protagonist to actively kill another demigod! I can accept them not talking about it in ToA, since "Hey, we're super fucked up from the deaths we caused/played a part in and we don't know what to do about that because we're kind of sort of murderers before the age of eighteen and that's really not the sort of thing you just tell people" isn't something to drop on Will's suddenly-sixteen-and-mortal godly father without warning during a serious crisis situation and I can't see anyone they might have told about it off-page spilling the beans without permission either and when it happened Apollo was already in deep shit and so probably not paying a lot of attention to what his kid was doing, so our POV character wouldn't know about it and wouldn't find out (I know he's aware that Octavian's dead, but unless I'm forgetting something—which is. entirely possible, I should reread ToA—he doesn't know the part Will and Nico played in it). But if it doesn't come up at all in the book told entirely from their perspectives, I'm... honestly gonna be pretty pissed!

i wanted some angst, maybe yang werewolf getting hurt and being taken care of by blake witch.
Internally: aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! Externally: I have just the thing! Let's go! But, be warned, it's about to get bloody.
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
Cut to Blake's forest cottage where Yang is laying naked on the bay window bench in the living room. Blood is gushing from her belly from a single, smoking bullet wound. The bright full moonlight pouring through the panes of glass is clashing with the warm glow of the flames roaring in the fireplace.
Yang: (grunting and panting in agony as her body starts to shake)
Blake: (hands covered in blood as she digs into the bullet hole with her bare fingers) Yang! Yang, stay with me! Come on, Puppy, you can handle this!
Yang: (coughs into a grunt and blood bubbles up her throat) I-I got this... I-I g-got t-this... I-I c-can hack...i-it...
Blake: It's too deep! I'm sorry about this (grimaces as she opens the hole wider, her free hand glows purple as she holds it over the wound - slowly pulling the silver bullet out of Yang's gut)
Yang: (partially transforms and howls in pain - fangs and jaw elongate and her eyes glow crimson and pupil-less)
Blake: (winces as Yang's claws dig into her arm) It's okay, Yang! I got you! I'm not leaving, and neither are you!
Silver bullet glints against the dark well of blackened blood, causing the smell of burnt flesh to fill the air as smoke billows around them
Blake: (grabs the bullet and throws it across the room)
Yang: (cuts to silence and slumps against the bench - her transformation melts away, leaving her human once more)
Blake: (panting) Yang? (shakes Yang's shoulder) Yang, wake up. (shakes again) Yang, Love, say something.
Yang: (silence)
Blake: No...(shakes Yang harder) No! NoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNo! (scrambles to her book shelf, pulls a spell tome from its place, smearing black blood across the pages as she flips through)
Blake: I am NOT losing you! Do you hear me?! (recites the words on the page and a dark aura swirls around her figure) You can't leave me yet!
Shadows engulf the cottage. The next morning, Yang wakes up on the bench. Her body protests in agony as she sits up and sees Blake slumped over her. Her hands are frail, and her hair and cat ears have faded to dark grey in areas.
Yang: Blake? Blake, what did you do?
Blake: (slowly wakes up and looks away shyly, crows feet wink at the edges of her eyes) I gave some of my life to you... but I can't say I expected this to be the result...
Yang: (pulls Blake into a fierce hug) You're an idiot.
Blake: (melts into the embrace) I'm the idiot who loves you...
Yang: (kisses Blake tenderly) And I'm the brash moron who loves you...

Griffin Turner being the Master Of Time is so angsty, so have some dumb idea in bullet points
Tw: Abuse, Drug mentions
Griffin as the master of time brings so much more angst to this
- Griffin who grew up hearing that he is evil because his great uncles on his mama's side were evil since they betrayed the elemental master alliance
- Little Griffin pulling books from the library shelves trying to learn if his uncles were really evil, or was it just a big misunderstanding
- Griffin realizing that his mama's family name was sullied because they had people who wanted more power than they had
- Griffin reading book after book trying to find something that didn't automatically the elemental masters of time as power hungry, greedy, evil people, because his mama wasn't evil and she was an elemental master so the books had to be wrong about every time master being evil
- Griffin sobbing when the book that was written by a mage that had a story about a master of time being good snatched out of his hands because the mages were evil and stupid and you shouldn't read that Griffin, read the books that tell you your family is evil
- Griffin deciding that as a young child (he barely can reach the top of his bookcase without a stool) he will find a story where the elemental master of time wasn't evil so he can show his mama, who cried when he told her that he couldn't find any 
- His mother struggled so much getting people to take her seriously, as an elemental master who was a woman and one with dark skin and a tendency to cover up. She deserved to have a happy story, one that she could turn to instead of the medicines (not drugs, Griffin refused to put his beautiful mother in a category with addicts) she swallowed by the bottle to escape the tournament of his father
- Griffin feeling something break in his brain when he accidentally froze his best friend in school (a boy who claimed that he could read minds, and always seemed to know what silly thoughts Griffin was having so he was inclined to believe him) when he tried to take Griffin's book from him as a joke
- His friend thought it was amazing, and tried to convince Griffin to tell the others. Griffin refused, telling him that it may have been a fluke (it wasn't)
- His friend frowned, but nodded and said that they would have to do experiments to see if Griffin could recreate what he had just done
- Griffin screamed at him and told him he didn't want this power, and if he didn't want to end up dead then they would never talk about this power ever again
- His friend had glared at Griffin and told him to not be ridiculous, he should want this
-Griffin begged him to read his mind and tell him if he really was lying 
-His friend did, and he sighed and said good bye. Clearly they valued different things. Griffin said farewell and to not tell anyone. His friend didn't say anything as he walked away from Griffin
-Griffin couldn't, shouldn't, wouldn't let himself cry. He wouldn't give himself that privilege of grief. He forced himself to forget his friend's name. 
-Griffin tried to hide what happened from everyone, but his friend told his mother what happened, who told Griffin's mother, who told his father. 
-Griffin couldn't move for a week without his back yelling at him agony after that conservation
-His father made it very clear that Griffin was to train with this power, this power that made him vomit and rip off his skin so it couldn't be a vessel for it, and he was to be the best he could be with this power
-Griffin knew better than to say no to the man who had forced a woman to have a child with him in order to gain more power than any man needed. He said he would do it. 
-His father told him he would, and he threw the belt down against Griffin's back and commanded to not scream
-Griffin was quickly isolated from the other kids even more than he was, firmly kept away by his teachers, and he was told if he ever did anything that toed the line he would be expelled
-He was expelled by the end of the month, with some kids claiming he attacked them after school. Griffin had been laying in bed trying to not die from a training session that whole day
-Griffin's father told him he was to trained and taught at home for the rest of his teenage years
-Griffin's only solace through out those years was the extensive library, which he spent years hiding away as much as he dared to
-Griffin read every history book, focused on completing his childhood quest for a story that had an elemental master of time that was good. First it had been for his mother, but he was doing it for himself
-his father taught him how to pretend his elemental power was super speed, and made him run faster than any human had ever ran, and he made him learn how to swallow the bile that crawled up in his throat whenever he used his elemental power
-He eventually turned eighteen, and he ran away from his prison with as many papers he could carry, his clothes stuffed into a bag, and as much money as he dared to steal stuffed into the clothing and he ran as fast as he ever did before
-Griffin quickly realized that being a runner, as either an athlete or an thief, would be the best way to survive
-He learned quickly that being fast meant that he definitely had a career in those two occupations
-He became a track star in no time flat, breaking multiple records. The trophies he earned made him want to beat someone up
-Throughout this, he occasionally helped out those who needed it with things like food, clothing, or protection with his elemental power, though he pretended to be a mage. Lying left a bitter taste in his mouth, but he swallowed the deserts of doing a good thing to cover it
-Garmadon found out who he was, one day, and informed him that he would be willing to train Griffin. Griffin recognized his name, and he remembered that the stories always portrayed him being a leading factor of his great uncles being banished, and he yelled at him to never talk to him ever again
-Garmadon simply smiled at him and told him that he would see him soon, master of speed
- Griffin didn't thank him for the change of a single word. He didn't cry
-Eventually, he got an invitation to Chen's Tournament Of Elements, under the threat of him being revealed to be an elemental master of time to everyone
-Griffin accepted, and you know the rest, don't you? 
-No one would ever find out about Griffin. He would make sure of that. 
-(not even his childhood friend, who now goes by Neuro, and who didn't remember him. Griffin ignored the ache in his chest at that thought.)

People need to practice minding their own damn business
Don't come into people's inboxes giving unsolicited advice or criticizing their personal stuff. Don't reblog somebody's posts saying how much you hate it and their opinions.
Don't like somebody's characterisation, AUs or the kind of art they post? It might even annoy you?
Okay, cool. Go make your own post. Block them. Be a little hater about it to your friends. It's good for your soul!
But don't be goddamn rude to people. Don't make it their problem.
"I don't like what this artist likes mah mah mah"
Here's a wild idea;
Artists...don't need to cater to you. You are not entitles to their work. Nobody on the internet should coddle you and post only stuff you like.
Shocker, I know.
#thylacines can talk#Yes this is about PK#When you like an antagonist people expect you to be a negative nancy 24/7 and put a disclaimer everytime you make something with them about#how much they suck as a person#Guess what! Having to shittalk your fave all the time to not risk being 'that kind of fan'...isnt fun. It's miserable even!#Anmoying as fuck too! Yes I know he did this unforgivable thing. I'm not an idiot. That's why I like PK. Fucker's got nuance#Is he a bad person? Absolutely. Will I talk about him being a bad person and the horrible things he did? Also yes. When I want to. It's#very fun to explore that part of the story and how it influenced their victims. Will I give you a fucking essay on why he's a bad person#everytime I want to post something funny or lighthearted about him? No. Piss off.#I cannot only focus on angst and heart-wrenching part of the story. I also like to make stuff of the lighthearted parts of my AUs.#And I don't feel like writing down an entire disclaimer and breakdown of how PK's and WL's redemption arcs went to justify it#Having to constantly put disclaimers to justify you liking a morally grey and bad characters is EXHAUSTING. Only being able to talk about#this character with someone when it proteins to how awful they are is EXHAUSTING.#YES they're bad people. But going into peoples dms or inbox or tags and talking to them about how ugly and bad and evil their fave is#exhausting to deal with and NOT fun. Like I. KNOW. LIKE LET ME LIKE A DEEPLY FLAWED NUANCED FUCKED UP CHARACTER IN PEACE WITHOUT HAVING TO#ALWAYS PUT A DISCLAIMER OUT THERE ABOUT HOW AWFUL THEY ARE. GOOD GOD.#It's especially annoying because I like characterisation of PK that is very morally grey. To me purely evil and not compassionate PK is#fun...in a short run. I much prefer a man whos riddled with guilt over what he did even if he believed it to be necessary evil and who dies#Because of his regret. I love the idea of a father who sacrificed his own children so that no parent had to lose their own. And the tragedy#of him deeply loving PV and still doing what he did. A good person who was faced with an impossible choice and committed unspeakable#cruelty for what he believed to be the greater good. A man who doesnt believe he's deserving of redemption not forgiveness and who doomed#himself. I like a nuanced morally grey PK with LAYERS. Treating him as a purely evil uncaring person who never loved his children sucks ALL#the fun out of him for me. And don't get me wrong I LOVE villains who are evil for evil's sake. I LOVE old school Disney villains who are#scumbags just because they can be and have a little bit a swag to it. But PK just. Isn't that kind of villain to me.#I don't even like calling him a villain. An antagonist? Maybe. A morally grey character that kicked off the entire story with his one act#of unspeakable cruelty? Yup. But I don't see him as the villain of HK.#Wow that was a long rant#Well I got that out of my system at least#I love the Pale King and I could talk for HOURS about why I love him as a character and about his actions. It's just tiring when I have to#do it to justify myself and my lighthearted content of him.

I’ve read some excellent one-shots but… Are there any longer Steddie fics where Steve doesn’t tell Eddie about the Russian torture trauma and agrees to be tied up but gets triggered by that?

Two red eyes, piercing and deadly, stared down into his. Metal Sonic- but wrong- stood above him, his head propped against his fist, staring down at him in almost childish disapproval.
“…You look different,” he breathed, staring at the widened quills with white streaks. A metallic hum cut through the air, the thing peering down at him, inspecting him, like he was a tiny insignificant bug.
“Peek-a-boo,” the voice box crackled, the robot slowly covering its face and leaning closer, opening his hands out so that Eggman could see his red- red, why would he ever choose red- eyes again. “I see you.”
And two claws hooked under Eggman’s armpits and Ivo screamed.
Edit: Fic is up! Check it out if you want!
