Battle scars!

Genshin characters reacting to seeing deep and large scars on your body.

Heizou, Gorou, Xiao, Albedo, Childe, Scaramouche, and Ayato x Gn! Reader.

Warnings: Language, scars, mentions of blood.

Ok guys I've given in to writing for heizou and have joined the cult. SORRY FOR ANY MISTAKES 👎👎

I'm not the happiest with this writing but I need to post something

Heizou

Heizou knew you did a lot due to work. Your work required lots of fighting and was incredibly hazardous. Your job constantly put your life on the line and he saw it in your eyes. He can read when you have had a rough day, and he's seen the smaller scars on your arms from fighting and other various injuries.

It was late and both of you got of work rather early. The sun was setting but still had the beautiful glow known to Inazuma. You were changing in your shared bedroom when Heizou accidentally walked in on you. "My bad!" He chuckled, but then noticed a long, large scar that traveled across your spine and back. "Y/n, what happend?" He quickly grew worried and touched your now clothed shoulder. "Oh that? That's old, no big deal." You shrugged and kissed his forehead. As you were walking off he grabbed your waist and pulled you back into him. He put his hand on your lower back and asked for permission to lift your shirt. When he lifted it, he traced his finger over the large scar. "Where did this even come from?" "I fell down a cliff about a year ago, pretty cool isn't it?" He tilted his head and didn't know whether to laugh or just stand In shock. "I'm ok Heizou." You reassured him with a laugh, hugging him tightly.

Gorou

Gorou doesn't have many large scars, more of a lot of small ones. He was a general after all. You being an experienced captain allowed you to know a thing or two about war as well.

You wore a shirt that exposed your shoulder that day, you knew you had a long scar that traveled from your lower shoulder up to your neck. You didn't care much for it, and hoped your boyfriend wouldn't care much about it either. Gorou however did care a lot, he didn't know how to bring it up to you, so he kinda stared at it, he had no intention of making you uncomfortable. He took the chance to bring it up to you when you both were laying down on the couch. He was reviewing some papers and had his head against your neck. He kissed your neck, and you knew his intention. "Y/n." He has no clue how to bring it up, so he kinda points to it. "Is this recent?" "Oh, no Gorou. It's old." You reassured him, knowing he would be worried he wasn't doing enough for his soldiers, especially you to keep everyone safe. He frowned, and you kisses his forehead immediately cheering him up.

Xiao

Xiao was no stranger to scars, he had quite a few himself but hid them well. He didn't like to be reminded of his past to often.

He saw the scar on your stomach when you were sleeping. Your shirt came up slightly as you were sleeping in his bed. He moved closer to you to get a better look. He wanted to trace it with his finger, but was scared to awake you. You grabbed his hand and intertwined his hand with yours. You grabbed his hand tight, knowing what he was looking at. You had the same reaction to most of his scars too, so you weren't going to push him away. You rested your head on his hand and he found it oddly comforting. He didn't know where it was from, but he knew it had a story. All scars did.

Albedo

Albedo didn't have any scars of his own, however he did see some small scrapes and scars appear on klees body every now and then. He had experimented with some things to try and find a scar remover and creams of all sorts. He wanted klee to be in good shape and Alice wouldn't be to happy to see little scars on klees hands.

The scar on your hand was a lot deeper and longer, it wrapped around your hand and it looked pretty interesting in his opinion. He knew you had the scar for some time, but he didn't really bother asking about it. "Y/n, I've made a cream to help with scars. It's mainly for klee, but if you ever need it feel free to use it." He said calmly. He wasn't sure if the scar meant something to you, and wanted to make sure you were comfortable. You kept the scar. You got it from the heart of dragonspine. Kinda insane, however you planned to experiment. (Albedo thought this idea was impressive)

Childe

This man has some scars. He loves to show them off to you, explain how he got them, say how badass it was, etc. He knew you had scars, and he was beyond interested.

"Y/n! What's the scar on your leg from?" He was laying in between your legs while you were playing with his hair. "That's my secret." You responded, keeping him curious. You knew this would annoy him. He flipped around and laid on top of you. This 6 foot man baby was incredibly annoying to deal with when he's whiny. He caressed your leg and traced over the scar. "It looks cool!" You were glad he thought so.

Scaramouche

He doesn't have scars. They litterally do not exist on him. It's probably the inhuman aspect to him, cause he's a fighter. Despite being aggressive, he's incredibly observant. He notices when you come back with cuts, no matter how small.

You were working with him, he was reviewing files on a few people. And you were collecting things around the area to help out. He watched you and the scar you had on your hip. He got up and walked over to you. He grabbed you by your waist and lifted your shirt up to see the scar better. "Scara!" You slapped his hand, doing absolutely nothing to him. He put his finger on it and then stared at you. "Where the hell is this from?" He asked coldly. "I got into a fight a while ago, no big deal." You shrugged and tried to wiggle out of his grasp. "Who?" (Asked) "I was dueling with chide. I'm telling you it's no big deal." You laughed at his growing annoyance towards the situation. (He held one hell of a grudge and was trying to kill Childe for weeks) (man was PISSED. Wouldn't let you duel with Childe for months.)

Ayato

He has absolutely no scars. He's too good for them. His skin is flawless. He knew your job well however. He knew how it was risky and you were a fighter. He made sure to always take care of you after a tough job.

You came home exhausted and dirty. You took a shower as your boyfriend finished up work. He walked into your bedroom as you were getting dressed. "Ayato!" You ran up and hugged him. He placed a kiss on the top of your head and hugged you back. He sat you on your bed and sat with you. "It's nice to see- Oh, what's this?" He pointed at a scar on your thigh he hadn't noticed before. "Oh don't worry, nothing big" it was indeed a big scar. You closed your legs and leaned onto him. "We have some product to help it heal faster, would you like that?" "I'll be alright, thank you though. I take scars as a physical reminder on what ives accomplished." He nodded and smiled. He wanted to be the best he could for you.

Let me use Astarion as an excuse to talk about CPTSD

You know what? I think this might be a good moment to talk about CPTSD and how Astarion really is a textbook example of someone with CPTSD (though it is very likely that basically our entire main cast of characters in BG3 is suffering from it to some degree, they just are less textbook in their presentation).

Let me start with a simple question: What is CPTSD?

CPTSD is the shortened version of Complex PTSD, or rather Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. So, to dumb it down: It is like CPTSD, but it sucks a lot more.

While normally PTSD is caused by one traumatic event (like having a car accident, seeing a loved one die, being subjected to random violence at some point), while CPTSD is caused by a traumatic situation that goes on for a while or repeats several times. In the western world, we see a lot of CPTSD in survivors of parental abuse or intimate partner abuse. Aka, traumatic situations that went on for a longer while. You will also find CPTSD in some people from marginalized groups, as the traumatic situation of discrimination is constantly repeating. And of course you will find it in survivors of war or similar ongoing events.

PTSD will often lead to having triggers related to the trauma, showing avoidance behavior towards possibly triggering situations. It might also lead to flashbacks, nightmares, and a raised awareness/carefulness, often especially regarding relations with other people (though this might depend on the traumatic event it stems from).

CPTSD will have all of that, but often in more complex ways (as a longer experience will allow for complex triggers to develop - and a lot more situa´tions to become triggers as well), but it will also lead to a difficulty to regulate emotions, a general mistrust towards other people, inability to have healthy relationships, prolonged moments of dissociations, a generally negative perception of the world and events, feelings of worthlessness and internalized shame.

It should also be noted that in many cases the symptoms of CPTSD only start showing, once the traumatized person is removed from the traumatizing situation.

Neurally the reason for CPTSD is basically, that the nervous system is put into a prolonged survival mode. Which is also why the symptoms often trigger after the survivor is removed trauma inducing situation.

And, oh look, it is Astarion lol

Looking at the character from this perspetive, you really see pretty much all the symptoms in him.

Does he struggle with regulating his emotions? Fuck yeah, he does. He tries to regulate them, but he very often fails at it.

Does he get triggered by some situations? Yeah, it does. (You get that especially when you play his origin.)

He is super mistrustful towards other people - which is also why he does not intermingle with other people that much.

His view of most things as negative is also fairly clear - I also would argue that his "let's kill some puppies and kittens" behavior is also very closely connected to this.

And that he struggles with feelings of worthlessness and shame is again something that is found in the text.

He really is a very textbook example of CPTSD, which also brings me back to what I already talked about this week: Both CPTSD and PTSD will permanently change the nervous system. Which as far as we know will never quite go away. (Like, not to be a nerd, but there has been some recent research, that has shown that certain medication might permanently eleviate some symptoms - but not heal it totally.) It is basically scars from a nervous injury, if you wanna think of it like that.

You can however learn to live with the symptoms and learn techniques to regulate them. If you have read any of my Tavstarion stories (like this one), I bring some of those techniques into that. Stuff like breathing techniques or techniques to get your brain out of a flashback spiral (like consciously perceiving your surroundings). But to learn to deal with it, you also need to confront the trauma, which is probably the hardest thing to get Astarion to do, because he seems to be very avoidant. Like, his entire "I need to ascend" thingie is all avoidant behavior. Basically, he wants all that power that comes with ascending to prevent him from ever ending up in a situation that would be in any way similar to his trauma again.

But even if he does not ascend, there is a good chance he will still show a lot of avoidant behavior in the future.

When I write him, there is a reason that I do not have him leave home for a good seven months outside of what he has to do (like feeding). Which is very typical avoidant behavior.

The thing is that often trauma and especially CPTSD is not always the very big reactions - though those might be there too - but a lot of those more muted things. Avoiding going outside. Avoiding new situations. Being just a bit anxious. Feeling that nice things are done with bad intentions. Things like that.

Just, you know... A heads up.

Hello! I just came across your blog not long ago, and i love your way of writting sm!

I have a request for the seven brothers from obey me ( the undateables too if you’re up to it!)

How they would react with mc who has a Prosthetic arm, mc hid it with gloves until they had enough trust in the boys to reveal it to them ( smth like that)

I would really appreciate if you could write this! 💕

Obey me Boys + s/o with prosthetic arm

Lucifer

Has no opinion on the prosthetic, but does feel a little hurt that they hid it from him.

Lucifer was under the impression that their relationship was built on trust.

He’s shown them some of the most intimate parts of himself, and they can’t share this with him? Like he would reject them for something like this sooner?

Tell them that he wishes they felt more comfortable to share this with him, and encourages them to not wear their concealing garments; if they feel comfortable.

Mammon

Shocked that he hadn’t noticed before and feels pretty dumb.

Mammon will be the first to admit to himself (but no one else) that he misses a lot of stuff, but he didn’t think he’d be so thick he’d miss this.

Takes it on the chin though when MC tells them that they shared this with him because they trust him. No one has ever really trusted him before.

“O…Of course. The Great Mammon’s got your back. You can trust me to keep your secret. Or not, ya know. Whatever you want.”

Levi

Probably the most….excited about it? But that seems like the wrong word.

Levi is obviously very influenced by anime, and there are a lot of one-armed/prosthetically enhanced characters throughout the genre.

Has a lot of questions about the prosthetic since he thinks it can shot laser beams, or has a secret compartment for charging consoles. Disappointed when it’s just an arm.

Asks it they can use this to their advantage for cosplay events.

Satan

Fascinated by it.

As mentioned in previous headcanons, Satan is very interested in anatomy and the medical field.

He would want to be discreet & respectful in his questions about their prosthetic, the manufacturer, and subsequently what causes it; if they are comfortable.

Pressures them the least to not wear their gloves or concealing garments anymore because he appreciates this may be important to them.

Asmo

Surprised and tries to be supportive.

Takes the ‘it’s ok’ ‘you’re still whole on the inside’ approach that people often do with disabilities, even if they don’t need that encouragement.

Tries to be materialistically supportive with new gloves for accessories or even offers some cloaking magic to cover it completely.

Obviously the most freaked out and uncomfortable.

Beel

Genuinely surprised he didn’t notice before, but Beel is aware he misses a lot of things.

Doesn’t really have an opinion. Though he is curious on how they properly lift things ‘one handed’. Can their prosthetic actually hold weight? Can they do bicep curls?

Now he’s very interested in developing a single arm work out routine. Even if MC doesn’t really want him to.

Holds a lot more of the bags, groceries, and other items they get when they go out because he doesn’t want them break anything.

Belphie

He always knew, but didn’t say anything about it.

Despite people thinking he’s not paying attention because he’s half asleep all the time, Belphie is very observant. He noticed the way their shoulder lend and that they would do most things with their other hand, anxious to move and complete a task before anyone could beat them to it.

Belphie has never had anyone trust or rely in him, being the youngest, so having MC confide in him makes him feel special.

Asks them to sleep on their other side or take it off when they nap together because he doesn’t like it when it poke him.

+Raphael

He’s grateful that they felt comfortable enough with him to tell him; it is a new experience for him. However, he doesn’t see the big deal.

Being of a warrior class of angels, Raphael has many comrades who have scars, permanent injuries, or missing limbs from battle. It’s a sign of their commitment to the fight.

Though MC’s story is probably not as dramatic as that, Raphael is still encouraging to their condition and doesn’t understand why they would try to hide it.

Oddly protective of MC after this new information. Maybe it’s because they can’t really afford to lose another limb? Or at least an arm…..No one really knows.

"This is him?"

"Yup..."

Everyone crowded around the bed, staring at the stranger in a mix of confusion, astonishment, and dread.

Doc stared at the cybernetic in fascination, then studied the charts.

"Incredible... While damaged, this technology is astonishing! Powered by the body's natural bio-electricity, INGENIOUS!!!"

Dani nodded, glancing back at the charts.

"Doctor Mcswain said his body produces an unnatural amount of it, though. From what he did to the traffic light, we know he can absorb power, would that explain it?"

"Excellent deduction!"

Doc nodded, carefully scanning the metal and wires.

"If my guesses here are correct, our visitor has some truly unique abilities! It appears that the Cybernetic's ability to absorb power converts it to bio-electricity, which our visitor requires high amounts of. Not only does he require high amounts of power to power the cybernetic, but it appears that his body has simply.... altered itself to accept this electricity as a natural function. This process would've taken years.... astounding..."

"And i noticed something else.... Shields, shooting electricity, Isn't that familiar? It's just like Cody- Our Cody's- Repulsor Badge... before it blew up, anyway..."

Doc nodded again, musing at Dani's observation.

"Interesting... By the laws of the Multiverse, anything is possible! Perhaps in this other reality, the technology was perfected, and never encountered the shortcomings it did here."

Kade scoffed, leaning against the door.

"Yeah, yeah, he's a cool science experiment. Look, Can we find out who he is or not?"

"Ah, right!"

Doc held out his tablet, and a small scanner.

"I'll simply preform a Biometric scan! If he really is a version of Cody, then in theory, he should match identically on a genetic scale."

Kade rolled his eyes, watching as Dani examined the stranger's gear.

"Let's just get this over with... Once Doc does his science thing, we'll prove once and for all that this guy isn't Cody!"

Dani examined the back panel of his armor plate, frowning as she stared at the engraving.

Like she'd spotted earlier, it was the insignia for the rescue bots, but something was off.

Going diagonally across the mark was a large crack, but not a real crack. It was clearly part of the design, but she couldn't understand why....

".... Whoever this guy is... it seems like he went through a lot..."

Charlie stared at the scars, at the damaged cybernetic, the signs of struggle and pain.

"... What happened to you..."

A small chime came from Doc's scanner, and he stared at the tablet.

".... I'll be..."

Wordlessly, he handed it to Charlie, who let out a long, slow hiss.

".... My god..."

It was a match.

Dani and Graham instantly leaned in for a peek, a similar shock washing over them.

"So... That's it, then? He really is a version of Cody?"

"It... It's a genetic match.... If the Biometric is accepting him, then... that means-"

"Absolutely nothing."

Kade threw his hands out, groaning as he pinched his brow.

"No offense, Doc, but your Tech's bugged out how many times now?! No, no, it's...... it's a fluke or something!! I've said it before, THIS. ISN'T. CODY."

"WHAT IS YOUR DEAL?!?!"

Dani groaned, pushing past Graham to jab a finger at Kade's chest.

"Even if he's not Cody, he's clearly in trouble and needs our help!!! Why are you being so hard on him?!"

"Needs our help?! Are you all forgetting that he attacked us?! No matter why he's here, we can't just trust him!"

"We should at least hear him out."

Charlie tried to calm things down, coming between both his kids.

"Listen. Doc, why don't you scan him a few more times, just to be sure? In the mean time, we can at least make sure he recovers from his injuries. Once he wakes up, we'll let him tell his side of the story, and decide where to go from there."

Dani and Kade couldn't meet the other's eyes, but seemed satisfied for now.

Doc leaned over with the scanner, musing to himself as he eyed the cybernetic.

"Incredible... such advanced designs... as well as ironing out the flaws in the repulsor badge...."

He leaned in for a closer look, and gently ran a hand over the shoulder, trying to take in the connective wires and delicate parts.

"Perhaps once he wakes up, I can asess the damage, and attempt base repairs..."

Doc gently grasped the damaged plating, as Kade shook his head.

"Sure, give the random guy his electricity powers back...."

Dani shot him a dirty look, and Charlie could only sigh.

"Look. We don't know what's going on here, but we're going to find out. we just need to-"

"AH!"

Doc suddenly yelped, and everyone glanced over, the stranger's left arm tightly gripping Doc's wrist.

Everyone tensed, as the stranger quickly sat upright, his eyes wide as he gasped for breath, whipping his head around the room.

"WHERE AM I?!"

Charlie ran up to the Bed, throwing his arm in front of Doc.

"Hey, hey, you're okay, you're okay. We're not going to hurt you, we took you to the hospital. You're safe here."

He gasped, but his breath slowly evened out, and he let go of Doc, the man wincing as he rubbed his wrist.

"Quite the grip..."

"Sorry... You scared me, Doc."

"You... know me?"

The stranger stretched out, examining the damage to his arm.

"Well, yeah, You look just like the Doc Greene from my world. You even have the same tie."

"Fascinating!"

Charlie couldn't help but chuckle over how quickly Doc bounced back from the scare, but leaned closer to the bed.

"Look... We need to ask you a few questions..."

The stranger sighed, rubbing his neck.

"I figured... But first, what happened to Morocco?"

"He escaped, but-"

"YOU DIDN'T TRACK HIM?!"

He shot up, sliding his legs over the side of the bed.

He could be anywhere by now!! Do you have any idea what he's capable of?!"

He attempted to stand, but instantly felt weak, his knees nearly buckling as Charlie rushed to steady him.

"We'll find him, I promise. But you're in bad shape, you need our help."

Charlie wasn't prepared for the darkness in his eyes.

"None of you are supposed to be involved in this. I came here for ONE JOB, and i FAILED. I have to find that... Monster... before it's too late..."

"Well, we're involved now, deal with it."

Kade glared, slowly coming closer to the bed, his face set in a deep scowl.

"Don't think for one minute that i trust you. I know sketchy when I see it, and I'm not letting you out of my sight. I want answers, so start talking."

The stranger was quiet, then slowly let out a dark, sarcastic chuckle, pulling away from charlie as he leaned on the bed's railing.

"Ever stubborn, Kade... You're just like mine used to be..."

"Used to be?"

Kade felt uneasy at that, as the stranger sighed, before looking around at everyone in the room.

"My name is Cody Burns. I came here from another Dimension, a reality parallel to this one. If i'm right, i'm guessing I ran into my dimensional counterpart already."

Kade's glare didn't drop, his eyes sharp.

"You told him and Frankie your name was Cole."

"It's best if they don't get involved. I feel bad for lying to them, but it's for their own safety."

"That why you kicked our butts earlier? For our own safety?"

"I was trying to keep you all out of this, I was just trying to keep you out of the way."

"If you know so much about us, then why don't you know that it's our job to get involved with this crap?"

The visitor met his eyes, a pointed, cold, sense of emptiness in them.

"Don't do that... Don't pretend you know me...."

Cautiously, Charlie gripped his shoulder, feeling a pang in his heart.

"... How old are you?"

The visitor looked surprised, hesitating, but sighed.

"... Nineteen..."

"Nineteen..."

Charlie studied him carefully.

Was this was Cody- his cody- would look like?

He was slim, but near Kade's height.

But despite the scarring, the damaged cybernetic, what haunted him most, was the emptiness in his eyes.

His Son's eyes, so full of life, so vibrant, so kind, were now dull, pained, haunted by a darkness Charlie couldn't understand.

... What happened to him? What happened in his world to cause such pain?

"... Son-"

His face changed instantly, and he quickly pulled out of Charlie's grasp, his jaw clenching as he hissed out a slow breath, his eyes meeting the floor.

"Don't... I'm....I'm not yours, I'm not your son."

Charlie pulled away, another pang shooting through his heart as his eyes widened.

"I... I'm sorry..."

The air in the room grew tense, a heavy weight hanging overhead.

All except Kade, who only narrowed his eyes.

"... Look, Uh... Kade has a point."

Graham nervously trailed his eyes to the floor, feeling everyone turn to look at him.

"I'm sorry, but, you can't take on your Morocco alone. You're hurt, and most of your equipment needs repaired, if not completely rebuilt. As the Rescue Team, it's our job to take care of emergencies, and i'm pretty sure this counts."

Dani nodded, adding,

"Yeah, Alternate Dimension or no, you're still a Cody, right? That means you're family, and family takes care of each other. You're going to need us."

"... You have no idea how dangerous the Morocco of my world is!"

Dani practically snorted.

"He's Doctor Morocco, we have a guess. And, maybe you should tell us, then!"

"Is he... Human?"

Graham reflected on what he's been in the woods, the monster of twisted metal.

The visitor only sighed.

"... I don't even know anymore. Doctor Morocco.... He had this obsession with... Immortality."

Dani only groaned.

"Is there a version of him that doesn't?"

"He was obsessed with living forever, keeping his mind perfect for eternity. Once he discovered Cybertronians... He got... Ideas."

He leaned away from the bed, now able to support himself, but unsteadily.

"After he learned about them, he was convinced his human body was holding him back. So... he decided to upgrade. He fused his immortality technology into a robotic body, and implanted his brain inside."

Jaws dropped, and even Kade looked surprised.

"... Woah..."

"All he is now is a ghost of what was. But it doesn't matter what form he takes. He's dangerous. And he needs to PAY for what he's done..."

The pain in his eyes sent a flurry of dark possibilities through the minds of the team.

He slowly rubbed his right shoulder, His eyes closing as he grasped the metal.

".... I promised i'd hunt him down to the ends of the earth. Instead, i followed him across the fabric of reality. I won't stop now. I won't stop until I tear him to pieces with my bare hands."

Silence rang out across the room, heavy and swallowing.

Everyone exchanged glances with one another, shock and horror filling them.

Despite himself, a dark, ominous feeling sank deep into Kade's gut.

The visitor took an unsteady step forward, his face dark.

"Got any smart comments about that, hothead?"

Kade was quiet for a moment, then shook his head.

"Just wondering what happened to you."

The visitor stared at him, then slowly, barked out a slow, bitter laugh.

"Sometimes, I wonder that too..."

Charlie awkwardly cleared his throat, trying to redirect attention.

"Anyways... What do you say? Will you accept our help?"

Charlie gazed at him softly, trying to sound convincing.

"I Promise. We'll do anything we can to help you catch him."

The visitor stared at him, then sighed.

"... Do i have a choice?"

He moved to the side, spotting his equipment.

"Seeing as I don't have a choice, fine. But let me make one thing clear. Morocco. Is. Mine."

Charlie nodded sollemley, and the visitor sighed.

".... So, what now?"

"First, we need to talk to Doctor Mcswain about discharging you."

"Wait!"

Dani suddenly remembered something, explaining,

"Doctor McSwain has him on file as a John Doe, she's going to need a name."

The visitor sighed, pulling his jacket on over his bandages, surpised that somebody had apparently washed the blood out.

"Look, to avoid any confusion with my counterpart, why don't you all just call me... Cole?"

Charlie nodded, handing over his chest plate.

"If that's comfortable for you, we can call you Cole."

"Thank you..."

He buckled his chest plate in place, but struggled, his cybernetic sparking as it made erratic movements.

"Here..."

Charlie held him get it in place, frowning at the massive dent in the front.

"Hmm... After we get your discharge in order, Doc, can you fix him up at the lab?"

"Certainly!"

"No, No, I don't have time!"

Cole sighed as he pulled away from Charlie, clutching his Cybernetic as he took a step back.

"I need to find Morocco as soon as possible!"

"And we'll find him. Alright... How bout this? Doc, Graham, you and Boulder take Co- Cole... to the lab, and get him fixed up, and find a way to take out this Alternate Morocco. Dani, Kade, we'll do patrols of the island, and see if we can find any trace of him."

Cole reluctantly nodded.

"Alright... I'll go along with this, for now. But the second you find anything, i'm handling it from there."

Kade scoffed.

"Oh, I bet you will, "Cole"."

"And here we go, classic Kade!"

"Oh, I bet you know all about me, huh?"

Cole took a heavy step forward, jabbing a finger at kade.

"Yeah, I do! I know you're an arrogant hothead, and you HATE accepting that MAYBE, SOMEBODY KNOWS MORE THAN YOU!"

"You know what I know right now?"

Despite the near match in height, Kade was just barely taller, and kept his tone even as he stared into "Cole's" eyes.

"I know a thing or two about putting on a phony Tough Guy act. And I know that if you storm out there like this, you're gonna get yourself killed."

"You don't get to lecture me.... You have NO RIGHT to lecture me."

"And why not?"

"Because I've survived this long without you!"

He cut himself off, his eyes going wide, a thin gasp escaping him.

Kade's eyes went wide, before he sighed.

".... We done here?"

The visitor clutched his arm, pain etched across his face as he turned his back.

".... We're done..."

The implications of his statement rang cold, and charlie rubbed his neck.

"... Kade... Take a walk."

Kade shrugged, then motioned to Dani and Graham.

"A word?"

They followed him out, and as the door closed behind them, dug a hand through his pocket.

"... So... I think that's telling."

"You were too hard on him."

Dani gave Kade a pointed glare, and he only sighed.

"We needed answers, didn't we?"

"I wouldn't exactly call those answers a victory."

Kade stopped, and held out his find from the forest.

"... He dropped this, earlier."

"Is that... a comn?"

Kade clicked it open, revealing the photo inside.

"He hollowed it out, like a locket or something."

"Woah..."

Dani gingerly took it from Kade's hands, recognizing the photo instantly.

"Isn't that-"

"Yeah."

Graham leaned over Dani's shoulder, frowning as he studied the device.

"I don't get it... why a Comn?"

"Think about it."

Kade leaned against a wall, his eyes trained on the comn.

"We use the comns to comunicate, to talk to each other. If this one wasn't getting it's intended use-"

Dani traced the photo, a dark realization clicking inside her.

".... Then there's nobody to talk to..."

Kade nodded solemly, and Graham clicked the comn closed.

"... I guess that's it, then."

"Wasn't that hard to figure out."

Kade took the comn back, his eyes softening as he glanced back at the door.

"I'm not saying i'm totally on board here, but... IF that really is Cody... Then there's no way any version of us would just send him on a crazy mission like this alone. At least...."

Dani finished the thought, slumping against the wall.

"... Not willingly..."

angst brain worm. AU of WMLP where due to magic or soulmate stuff when one of the original team gets injured, all of them get scars or a mark where the scar is. The cast getting a back row seat to see horrible things happening to each other but can't pin point who got what scar. Someone is getting whipped no one but Dick knows who. The possibility to communicate with self harm. Wally getting out of the speedforce and seeing all these scars.

listen here you little shit-

I love the energy but I just considered my dark au wherein the whole team is one poly group of soulmates and took psychic damage. I need to go lie down.

okay i laid down and then didn't come back. anyway.

that is. horrible. knowing that one of their loved ones is going through something, not even knowing from pain how bad it is, only having a scar/mark. watching it shift and change as the injury heals.

there's probably a while where Kaldur is so confused because he keeps getting so many that heal way too quickly. they can't be Conner's, he isn't so easily wounded nor does he have a healing factor (as far as I'm aware? someone fact check me lmao. certainly not one as quick as Dick's) but it can't be Artemis or M'Gaan. finding out Dick is alive by science experiment means and realising that was all being done to Dick. the team always knowing if something is happening to Dick because those marks heal the quickest.

Wally getting them all at once is horrific to think about. especially cause he's just come out of the speed force; for a moment he thinks they're his own scars. he doesn't know what happened. and then he realises they're not real scars they're soul marks and his stomach drops.

Oh my god. everyone would have the brand from Slade. they would all know that Slade had branded Dick. not just marked him as something Slade owns, but specifically with such a barbaric instrument as white-hot metal. the knowledge as they watch it settle into their skin that Dick must have smelt his own burning flesh.

the scar on Dick's eye. seeing it slowly but surely track its way across his face, knowing that it's purposeful, not an accident, that there is probably something very bad going on right now while Dick takes this cut.

Okay I have to stop thinking about Dick. who else has had the shit kicked out of them.

man. M'Gaan's first field mission. she doesn't get a lot of them, but Bee would have sent her on at least one before letting her work with Renegade. the team seeing these injuries and panicking because it's not Dick. and it can't be Conner. and surely not Kaldur, he's locked up tight.

which leaves Meg and Artemis. Artemis is the only one who can logically surmise it's M'Gaan. fucking hell. M'Gaan was pretty much only hurt by fire or force in the show, she never dealt with stabs and genuine blows. she's a support fighter, really, until at least season two. and the whole team had a sort of thing in their heads of babying M'Gaan. knowing she's going through something, no ideas as to what, but that this could be the first time she's dealing with real genuine inescapable pain, without anyone by her side to help.

I can't handle this shit right now.

(Wally asking Dick which marks are from Dick, which ones are from other team members. Dick looking at his own scars on someone else's body and realising exactly what he's gone through and reliving it anew through Wally's eyes)

Can you talk more about Florian and Mara airing out the Ravens dirty laundry? You mentioned it on my RIP Riko meme post and I’ve been curious about it. (Also just talk more about those OCs too if you wanted. Who are they n what’s their deal?)

with TSC now out I've been able to refine them and some of their facts and also more of what they'd spill about the Ravens and their experiences

putting this under the cut for TSC spoilers and also cause it'll probably be a long post

quick rundown of Mara and Florian's characters ig

Florian Laska (he/they):

19 years old

extremely bisexual

an early recruit to the Ravens who graduated high school early with the intent of running away from his mother as soon as possible

started playing for the Ravens at age 16

started as dealer but now plays as a striker

got a severe injury "in a scrimmage" with the Ravens that resulted in the loss of his leg, he continues playing with a prosthetic

fingers are heavily mishapen from being broken so many times and never set

dropped out Edgar Allan University for reasons still unknown (refusal to explain to the press)

wanted to be a nursing student

at the time of TSC is the youngest recruit for the olympic court and plays with fellow former raven Mara Fasil

commitment issues

covered in scars the most noticable being around his wrists, self harm scars, and a bite mark on his neck

learned french from Jean and Mara and bits and pieces of arabic and berber from Mara

told Kevin if his hand didn't get better they could just chop it off and give him a new one like they did with Florian's leg

Mara Fasil (she/her):

23 years old

if I did my math right she would've been a junior at the time Florian started with the Ravens

i don't actually remember if the Ravens have rules against partners being different genders but um if they do then fuck that because Mara was Florian's partner and they're still unhealthily codependent

wanted to major in architecture

she's lost track of how many times her nose has been broken but she's pretty sure it's in the double digits. has been pressured to get surgery to straighten it and refuses to

a raging lesbian who's also a raging asexual

personally i think she should date thea but idk ig i can't have everything

a dealer

still has not adjusted to 24 hour days

graduated in 4 years instead of the expected 5 which was partially motivated by Florian dropping out

ANYWAY these two are major troublemakers especially for their Olympic teammates. Florian is typically much more subdued and grounded than Mara who is more hot tempered and has trouble watching her mouth except for that time that Florian yelled at Tetsuji in front of a bunch of players from a variety of teams (and immediately threw up) (this was post leaving the Ravens)

Mara has a bad habit of just not shutting her mouth around the press now that she's allowed to be in front of them. she will not so subtly imply that most of her injuries are not from innocent practices and games. Has engaged in twitter discourse by dropping memes (specifically dropped one of that grant gustin peace sign meme with riko's name on the grave and "me" written over grant gustin shortly after riko's death)

Florian's exposure of the Ravens is largely from slip ups in front of the press. Pulled a Kevin Day "did you never know I've never been skiing" implying him losing his leg wasn't caused by a really bad scrimmage injury and was a lot more purposeful than that. Refused to meet with the press for 3 months following the incident.

it's almost impossible to catch the two separately. and if they aren't seen together they're always with someone else (usually Emiko or another member of the Olympic team, who did not sign up for this shit rip). Florian specifically has a godawful time not being with someone 24/7 (if he's at an Exy event and can't find any of his team he will purposefully seek out other Ravens, usually Kevin or Jean if he can find them, or Thea if she's there)

It's by the time TSC rolls around/the end of TKM that Florian starts getting pissed off enough to start purposefully dropping hints to the press about the Ravens. When the investigation starts and Tetsuji resigns a lot of his comments become a lot more targeted and it eventually results in Jeremy seeing enough that he contacts Kevin to get Florian's contact info so he can hopefully get some answers (he is only somewhat successful and Florian tells him it's only cause he has such a pretty face)

I don't know how yet but one of them, Florian I think, has some ties to the Moriyama's albeit distant that manage to snag them some level of protection from Ichirou so they don't yk get killed

Florian has visible scarring he does often hint at coming from other Ravens and it being purposeful. Mara has outright stated she was a target of many of her teammates. Mara has also called the Ravens a shit team which Florian then tried to smooth over and failed to do so (couldn't call them a good team without implying they're only that successful cause they play dirty)

Florian's a lot more snarky (and really just an outright cunt) in private and without cameras in his face but if he's being hounded enough it'll come out and he has flipped off more reporters than he'd like to admit

basically they're stupid and stumbling their way through dealing with the press for the first time in their lives and it just happens to coincide with the Ravens having the WORST time

that's where i'm leaving it cause this shit has gotten too long omg though i'd love to talk about Em and Ilya at some point I cannot keep writing an essay on these guys lmao

#ty for asking about them!#asks #aftg #aftg ocs #my ocs #all for the game #tsc #just in case

hey hey this hurted!!

but i also hc that he has stretch marks and other scars from the experiment 🥺

I KNOW this hurts me too 😭😭

yes he would definitely have stretch marks and scars after a transformation like that!! i also like to torture myself by thinking about how, even with the accelerated healing, some of his most severe injuries just never really go away? like yes they heal but sometimes they don't heal quite right so he ends up with a lot of scars... i also hc that his knuckles are always scarred/have lots of callouses cause they can't ever catch a break 😥

he gets home after a particularly bad day w/ his uniform all torn up and you notice him limping and you're just... horrified and angry and upset 😞😞 but he'll never fully understand why it's such a big deal to you b/c he's had to live this way his whole life...

from getting into alley fights to jumping off planes w/o a chute; also living with chronic illness his whole life he's just come to understand pain as a part of living. super-human healing is actually rlly cruel if you think about it—just b/c he can push his body past normal limits doesn't mean he's immune to the pain :((( he still feels all of it

like when he jumped out of an elevator, fell down 20 stories, crashed through a glass ceiling AND STILL GOT UP

I'm sick and rereading Two Halves and I know I leave a lot (A LOT) of stuff in the end notes but there's actually lots of stuff I still never mention or talk about so here's a long sick at 4am ramble about things I didn't get the chance to talk about but wanted to (in somewhat of an order reminded by rereading) or at least just some lines I particularly enjoyed

So here it is! Chapter Commentary ch1 let's goooo

"She felt pity for the scientist. What was it like to be so ignorant you slept deeply even with a ticking bomb around your neck?" <- She actually feels some envy, even if she won't admit it, because Karai has never slept this soundly in her Life much less in a dangerous situation. She's puzzled by normal people's ability to NOT be on guard 24/7 but wishes she could sleep that nice

I REALLY AM a huge huge fan of this trope, the "X character was SECRETLY Y hidden monster species all along!" because of the amount of interpersonal shenanigans it can cause. This AU is a bit of a new one for me because most of the shenanigans are actually action packed over straight up personal drama haha

I like to think the cut Karai left on Stockman’s jaw in ch1 ended up scarring so he has a Cool AU Marker to tell him apart

That collar looks So uncomfortable Stockman how do you sleep in that thing

I guesstimate in later chapters that Karai is about 600lbs in her changeling form, but likely she weighs more (before losing a couple dozen pounds to injuries). Basically, she nearly busted Stockman’s desk sitting on it like that but she's prone to Sitting On Things when stressed. The height advantage gives her comfort

The way Karai speaks to Stockman in chapter 1 is deliberately very formal and unlike her. She's approaching it as both a potential professional deal and as a potential massive risk, so Stockman is actually about one wrong sentence away from being killed this entire chapter. He only realizes this way way way later. Karai relaxes her way of speaking to him later a TON and we see that she talks pretty casually with him by the end

Stockman staring at her curiously, Karai bristling over it. He's a scientist and she's a new creature he hasn't seen yet! But Karai is specifically Never Supposed To Be Seen. Staring makes her very very twitchy (stabby)

“You have plenty of choices. You just don’t want to play with your life enough to try for all of them. I can respect that.”

"When it was just your own life on the line, it was easy to gamble with it." <- There's two ways to interpret this. One: When your life is on the line, you'll do anything to win. Two: When just YOUR life on the line, you'll do anything to win. The first is Stockman, who is only in it for himself, who can afford to risk it all. The second is Karai, who has Miwa to think of, and therefore the only thing Karai HAS to risk is her OWN life, because Miwa’s comes first.

Technically the Kraang are a bigger threat than Gumm-Gumms, but because Karai's own priorities revolve around Miwa and herself, Gumm-Gumms are the far more important threat

“She’s your collar.” [Miwa] I just love this so much like Stockman caught on IMMEDIATELY and compared it to his situation in a heartbeat and realized in all of thirty seconds that Karai is just as much at gunpoint as he is

Karai loves her human form only in that it's technically Miwa. Otherwise, she fucking hates it. It's weaker, softer, squishier, her senses are awful, and changelings get Very Twitchy (Stabby) when they're forced to be in one form for too long. In a ninja compound, Karai doesn't get to use her natural form NEARLY enough

Karai’s chest scar isn't actually present in her human form. But she gets phantom pains

Karai is that meme of crying her heart out for ten minutes and then her alarms go off and she's back to working without any issue. Gotta be efficient with your breakdowns

Karai projecting right off the bat that the Hamatos will hate her purely for being what she is. This is both from experience and from her own feelings. Aha 💔

It took you 15 chapters honey but you finally killed Shredder 🧡

I dislike a lot of the turns of phrase in here. I have cognitive difficulties and getting back into writing after two years of struggling just to function, that's been most evident with getting words to go together the way they should. Sometimes there's certain ways I know words need to go together but I can't remember how? Or I get the entire sentence scrambled and have to go back later and reorganize. The intent is there, but the words get literally out of order. I spend a good few runs going over chapters to iron out those kinks but this early on it's especially easy for me to see where I was struggling on some parts. Fortunately practice makes perfect and even just a few chapters later there's a lot of improvement!

Suck it, health issues! I've been working hard to get my body back and now my mind is on the right track too!

Notable comments this chapter that made me giggle

#still struggling but much much better #my stuff #trollhunters #my writing #two daughters au #what's a tag uhhhhhhhh #rai internal review #good nuff #tmnt 2012 #tmnt 2k12 #commentary #long post

Kit and Jacob:💧🧸👁️

thank you!!

💧: How well do they comfort each other when they’re upset?

Well that would require them showing that they are upset in the first place which doesn't happen all too often (because that would be weakness) and considering this is the couple who refuses to apologize to one another good luck with them offering up much comfort besides a "Who do I need to kill?" or "Do you want to go kill someone?"

🧸: Would they want to have kids together? If so what are their kid(s) like? How are they as parents?

Ah funny this one should come up as this gets set up in chapter 33 which I'm currently working on.

As it stands, due to Kit's injuries and scarring from the explosion she survived she is physically unable to have children (or so she's been led to believe by medical professionals). So if they were to have children she's firmly under the belief that they would have to be adopted. However, they do have a little miracle in the bunker two years in when Haven is born. Ending up with three kiddos (2 adopted siblings and 1 biological child)

Carter is 5 when they adopt him and he very much takes on the little man of the house type role where he wants to be like his dad: strong, protective, determined. He is known for sneaking off and trying to take part in Jacob's training drills as he is growing up.

Quinn is 2.5 when she is adopted, she is Carter's biological sister, and she spends a lot of time with Kit. Alas, the girl very much picks up on the short temper that Kit tries so hard to hide, she's also a bit of a tomboy who refuses to be left out of things that the boys can do.

Haven is their biological daughter, she very much takes after John physically with dark hair, big blue eyes and more of a waifish appearance considering who her parents are. She also hears the voice like Joseph does and has visions of the past. She is quite independent, quiet, and prefers being left alone.

As parents, Jacob has a lot more experience taking care of children having raised his brothers. He's very protective, but is also the first to toss around the kids when they are playing. He struggles with the kids talking back since he's been so used to the military life and having people following his orders but he never once raises his voice with them.

Kit struggles a lot at first when they are younger. Babies and toddlers are incredibly foreign to her. She might as well be dealing with an alien and its not like they have baby books in the bunkers so she has to rely on Jacob a fair bit. As the kids get older though she really enjoys raising them, she gets to make up for all of the mistakes her father made with her knowing its best to let the kids find their own way rather than forcing them to fit a mold.

👁️: What exactly do they want with their future with each other? Is that something they think of often or do they just stay in the moment?

At first, they are more focused on winning the war against the Resistance and the future is left up in the air for quite some time as Jacob believes himself to be Joseph's sacrifice and that he won't live to see the bunker.

What they do know for sure is that they are devoted to one another (some could say to an unhealthy degree but that's the fun part of their toxic relationship) and that they are the only one for one another. They give each other balance (as much as they make each other worse lol) and that's something neither of them have had much of in their life when they were outside of the military.

When they do make it to the bunker, they have Carter and Quinn in tow, and seven years to really figure out the intricacies of their relationship. They trust each other, they support one another and for all intents and purposes they are married even if they haven't had the ceremony. In their eyes its till death do us part.

#ship asks #sorry these answers got really long but these thoughts have been all that have been spinning around my head for the last two days lol #ship: the wolf and the wildcat #kit x jacob #oc: kit cross

Making another post about Vesper's awful childhood. Is anyone surprised?

This one's mostly about how his experiences as a child impacted his emotional state as an adult. CW for child abuse, physical and emotional neglect, and intentional self-injury.

I'm going to try and summarize the backstory bits as much as I can, but Vesper (as we all know) did not grow up in a loving environment. He has Venus for a good chunk of his childhood, but she could only do so much before she was taken away from him. With Venus gone, Vesper started seeking that familial love and care from the researchers.

When he was younger they gave him a lot of attention. It wasn't loving attention of course, it was them swarming around him doing tests and medical trials and taking his blood, but with Vesper feeling as lonely as he did he didn't really remember how unpleasant their attention was. He just needed anything. But as Vesper got older, the Stardust-derivative chemical content of his blood lowered and lowered. By around age 12 or 13 it hit a low plateau where it still sits now. As his usefulness dwindled, the researchers turned their attention towards new projects, essentially abandoning him besides providing the essentials to keep him alive.

Vesper tried everything to get their attention. First he begged and pleaded and promised to be good, then he threw tantrums and screamed and broke things, and then he had the idea to try and injure himself. Particularly, he knew he needed to draw blood. When he was young, any tiny cut would cause researchers to flock to him in order to collect what he lost and stop the bleeding. He didn't want to get hurt, and he knew the attention would be fleeting, but it was the only idea he had left. It took some effort, they didn't exactly leave him with access to sharp objects, but eventually he was able to make a pretty big cut right on his cheek (somewhere prominent, impossible not to see). It hurt, and he cried, but internally he was hopeful.

Nobody came. He tried for hours, first calling out that he was hurt and needed help, then that he sure was losing lots of blood, then kicked the door and screamed about how much he hated everyone and everything and he'd just bleed and bleed until he died then, and for a long time he just sat on the floor and cried. He cried and cried until everything just went numb. Like he'd cried out everything he'd ever felt and now there wasn't anything left.

~ Vesper still remembers doing that, vaguely. He remembers it as an embarrassing childhood tantrum. Really, he was way too old at that point to pitch such a massive fit. 12 years old is too old to be crafting petty schemes for parental attention. If people ask him now how he got that scar he tells them he "got it on the job," because he finds the true story too shameful to recount. He remembers it as a day where he was taught a valuable lesson about dealing with his own problems.

Vesper prides himself on being difficult to get a rise out of. He's cold, he's serious, he's logical, all very valuable things for a General to be. When people insult him he gives them no reaction, and in the face of fear and danger he presses forward with an unshakeable bravery. As long as he can phsycally deal with his problem, whether that be through fighting or working or simply walking away, he can handle it no matter how many strong emotions are twisting around in his gut and chewing at his insides. But that changes when he's presented with a problem he has no way to fix. When he's stuck in a conversation he doesn't know how to navigate, or when he's worrying about how others feel about him, everything just keeps twisting and chewing into an inescapable anxiety. How that anxiety manifests can change depending on what's causing it, but either way it can cause some rather childish reactions. Sometimes he'll just hide away from everyone, refusing to talk or let them help him until the anxiety calms down or he finds something to occupy himself with. Other times it manifests as irritation and crabbiness, causing him to snap at people and have a very short temper. He feels guilty about that, but he can barely ever bring himself to apologize.

Vesper hides and downplays his injuries and illnesses. Partially because even the risk of getting medical treatment makes his blood run cold, and partially because he just can't see them as anyone's problem but his own. It's a frequent argument between him and Pansa, and he just doesn't get it. Why does Pansa think he can't take care of his own problems? Why is he so level-headed about everything else, but starts making mountains from molehills when he gets hurt? It's his job to get hurt. Why won't Pansa just let him do what he needs to do? The same tends to go for his hunger or tiredness. They're his own problems, and as much as he enjoys Pansa's attention and pampering, he can't help but feel a little ashamed when Pansa scolds him for not eating or sleeping properly. Those are his problems, ones Pansa shouldn't have to be worrying about, and yet time and time again Pansa ends up remotely clocking him out and putting in an order with the kitchens to make him dinner. So much of what Vesper does is driven by an unconscious need to be valuable, because he's convinced having value is the only way people will still care for him.

#My poor boy has issues <3 Particularly abandonment issues </3</3 #Vesper's 'people need to be valuable' thing does apply to everyone else as well. He just allows them to be valuable differently.#He has no respect for someone who he perceives as lazy #But he does respect that being valuable comes in many different forms. All that matters is you provide something to others.#Simply making others happy is enough for other people to be valuable in his eyes. Because clearly if they're making people happy #then they're valuable in some way he just can't see.#It's smth Pansa's working on. Trying to prove to Vesper that his love doesn't go away when Vesper's not being useful.#Vesper has a hard time with it though.#Vesper tag

Janitor Yuu!AU , but it's Heartslabyul chapter

Hihi folks ! As promised we will see today the possibilities of the event of Heartslabyul, but without the intervention of Yuu or Grim , because , as we said in this post , they are janitor. PS: TW for violence, blood, and ...a killing attempt that failed ??

So let's get started ok ??

First of all, Ace will still get the collard because he stole a tart

You know, he was hungry and wanted a midnight snack, but get caught red-handed.

What would change, however, is where he will stay that night ?

Because if he never bothered Yuu and Grim back in the prologue, then they have absolutely no reason for helping him.

Now that's kinda a problem. No matter how hard I try to think of a solution, there's only two that come to mind.

He either returns to his shared room, or he decides to leave the dorm and find a place to stay for the night, like in another dorm , but I'm unsure if it would work.

Deuce would try to help Ace, like a good model student would do ! BOOM ! Adeuce/ hunting season duo is born !!

Everything would be the same up till the botanical garden .

Here they would ask Janitor!Yuu about the tools needed for the chestnut picking(?). But that it . Nothing more happened between them.

I was thorn between keeping the event or erasing it , but maybe erasing it would be better. The main reason is that now that they are janitors, they know where the tools are .

Anyway, time skip till Riddle's Overblot .

Oh boi .

The boys would certainly have a hard time synchronizing without someone giving them directions, but they would manage in a way or another

I was tempted to kill someone, but in the end, let's say there are a lot of major casualty . You know, a few bones broken , a few deep cuts , bloody injuries,but nothing that would endanger someone's life

Riddle wouldn't die either, however i do think that huge scar (physical or mental) will remain from this experience. First, he would be in a coma for many days . Crowley isn't even sure about calling his mother knowing, thanks to Trey, she's the main reason behind his overblot.

Crowley , being responsible ?? In this timeline , it's possible because he can't count on Yuu for dealing with the students' problems !

On Janitor!Yuu and Grim end , they would be called over to the rose maze to clean everything. Both wonder what kind of storm could have caused such a mess ?

Crowley asked Janitor!Yuu and Grim to find a black stone , they found it and gave it to him later . Much to Grim's sadness because he really wanted to eat it !

So , what did we learn ?? That Riddle's Overblot would have happened even without Yuu or Grim's help. Ace and Deuce would become friends , Leona wasn't disturbed during his nap in the Botanical garden, a lot of students got hurt, Riddle would be out for a loooong time , Crowley would be responsible and finally, Grim never ate that red flag of a stone !!

In the end , not much has changed i guess ? It was pretty hard for me to think of all the possibilities, but in the end everything ends well ? Or at least , that's how I see it . You guys might have a different opinion about how the course of events could have gone, and I would be more than happy to see them ! Next time for Savannaclaw, things will be way easier ovo

Thank you all for reading , and have a nice day/night !!

#twisted wonderland #twst janitor au #janitor!yuu #janitor!grim #janitor!mc #overblot #twst au #twisted wonderland au #twst wonderland #twst #twst yuu #twst headcanons

So last October, I took a tumble down the garage stairs and broke my ankle, the first time I've ever broken a bone.

I will say that the experience has been invaluable. Not good, but invaluable.

As someone mostly able-bodied, I've been trying to be supportive and conscientious of disability rights and awareness and all, and let me tell you, it did not prepare me for the reality being truly physically disabled, even temporarily (I still have a year of recovery ahead of me as I post this).

It's one thing to know wheelchair accessibility is important, and another to realize how many places I just... can't go, because nobody in our household is strong enough to get me over a threshold. Even now, as someone technically healed, I have to interrupt my day to elevate my foot because pain and swelling are still issues I will have to deal with for several months at the least.

I have to find a new job because my old one (understandably) let me go - they'll let me reapply, but between the work and the commute, I can't reasonably complete my old job duties until I'm pretty much fully recovered. And I have bills, because I live in the US and life is a nightmare.

It's one thing to be vaguely or intellectually conscious of these, and another to experience them personally.

Another thing it really reinforced is the value of community - due to, again, American Capitalism Hellscape, I'm currently living with my parents. I honestly don't know how I would have done any of this if I was living alone.

Plus, my mother knows several people who have had similar injuries. Her best friend has had multiple knee replacements. This means we not only received actionable advice, but were loaned equipment that we would have had to buy otherwise, and then figure out what to do with post-recovery.

(Also, no visits leads to cabin fever for sure.)

One of the biggest things was a neighbor across the street who helped me get out of the house for surgery (remember, can't get across thresholds), who cheerfully told me about the broken femur he'd fully recovered from, showing me the scar and everything. It helped immensely to be reminded that someone else, lots of someone elses, have had injuries exactly like this and recovered fine. He had an even WORSE injury, and not only recovered fine, but was strong enough to help transport me when no one else could. Plus, he had room to be sympathetic while also rendering really useful advice on how to maneuver into the car.

Anyways. It's not an experience I would wish on anyone, but I will say the perspective it gave me was really valuable.

Hey Skyward! So, one your recent answers got me hoping, (if you have time) regarding the Incredibles AU- I thought it was really cool to see the different stages of “comfortable” Wild and Hyrule were in throughout your fics. It was just done really well. And I was left wondering, got any fluff or angst (or both) of their transitions from hiding/not speaking to crawling on Time’s bed because he’s sick?

Thank you! It was fun to write them both get gradually more comfortable with everyone, and it was a bit of a writing experiment too, slightly different than what I usually write :)

As for angst or fluff from them adjusting... hm.

They both had a lot of moments where it was one step forward three steps back, especially for Hyrule, who had to adjust to several more people then Wild did. Wild of course had his nightmares he had to deal with though, so they both had equal tough times and happy ones. They all counted it a victory when they finally got Hyrule to eat three meals a day though!

And I do have this scene here, which was an idea I wanted to put in Hyrule’s fic but didn’t quite fit in right anywhere. Living around people with questionable motives and living on the street in between leaves you with some marks... which in the fic Wild was supposed to notice and go “hey me too :D” but just didn’t fit in right.

But anyways, here’s a short, kinda unpolished scene of Twilight finding out Hyrule even has any scars (under a cut because this post is already a bit long)

...

Twilight caught a glimpse of the lines again later as Hyrule flipped the rock he was looking at over, and decided a closer look couldn’t hurt.

He tried to casually brush his hand over Hyrule’s sleeve the next time he reached for an interesting rock, but the younger boy noticed immediately. In fact, Hyrule jumped nearly straight up in the air at the touch, throwing himself backwards and putting up a shield before he realized what had happened.

Twilight immediately drew back from the younger boy, who was staring at him shakily as he dropped his shield. His eyes were wide as he clutched his arm around his chest, and Twilight could tell he was a few seconds away from bolting back inside.

“I’m sorry Hyrule, I wasn’t trying to scare you,” Twilight quickly apologized, keeping his voice soft. He slid back and gave Hyrule more space, and he seemed to slightly relax. “I just wanted to look at the marks on your arm.”

Hyrule pulled his arm in more tightly to his chest, and somehow shrunk even smaller into himself.

“Th-they’re just old marks,” he whispered.

“But do they hurt?” Twilight asked, hesitantly extending an arm. “I just want to help Hyrule. You know Wild has some scars too, we have stuff to put on them to make them hurt less. We could do the same for yours if you want.”

Hyrule stayed where he was, but let Twilight scoot closer again, carefully watching his outstretched arm.

After several long moments of silence, Hyrule took in a deep breath, then cautiously pulled his sleeve up, showing off the handful of scars marring his skin. Twilight stayed silent as the younger boy slowly extended his arm towards him.

“They’re all pretty small, they don’t hurt,” he said quietly, and carefully set his hand on Twilight’s. His palm felt clammy against Twilight’s. “Not anymore. Only the one.”

“Which one still hurts?” Twilight asked softly, looking over the marks, and Hyrule swallowed.

He hesitated, then carefully pulled part of his shirt up, exposing an angry knot of scarring a bit above his hip. Twilight paled as he took in the size and obvious deepness of the old injury, and Hyrule quickly tugged his shirt back down, looking uncomfortable.

“It doesn’t hurt very often,” Hyrule continued, trying to be reassuring. “Just sometimes.”

“Hyrule...” Twilight began, then stopped, not even sure of how to begin to ask about it. How on earth could he have gotten such an awful scar? What had happened to him?

He was interrupted from asking anything else by Malon calling from inside that dinner was ready. Hyrule perked up and pulled his sleeve back down, giving Twilight one last unreadable look before scampering out of the backyard.

Twilight watched him go with a worried lump settling in his stomach.

Brothers?

this post has been sitting in my drafts for a good while, but I’ve finally gotten some extra downtime this week to look over and edit it. just a semi-brief analysis of the bad batch’s relationship to the other clones and how echo mixes into that dynamic.

my inspiration for this came from this work, Brother Killer by @papanowo

His art is amazing and I highly recommend you check out his blog if you don’t follow him already! :))

this concept is painful to think about.

but unfortunately the og batchers don’t seem to view the ‘regs’ as their brothers. they don’t see echo as a reg, because he doesn’t look like a ‘reg’ anymore. they know he was a reg. but they don’t see him as one now, if that makes sense.

we’ve seen from their TCW s7 arc and TBB s1 that there is tension between the regs and the batch, they do not like each other. and for good reason.

the batch is viewed as special. the kaminoans value them highly, and treat them atleast somewhat better than the regs, even if it is about their value as a soldier/property. they’re treated more like commandos, work more like commandos, assigned missions like commandos, trained like commandos, even think like commandos. this is why Gregor thinks they’re commandos in War-Mantle. they are commandos in every sense except their designation, ct-99s. They’re even more valuable than commandos technically, since there are quite a few commando squads in canon, and only one clone force 99.

even though they’re still clones, they look noticeably different to the regs. Kix points it out: “These guys are clones? They don’t look like clones to me.” Even without the tattoos, scars, and haircuts, you can tell they’re different people. unique individuals. with ‘regs’ you can’t.

This is where we begin to see Echo’s struggle.

he was raised as a reg. trained as a reg. grew up surrounded by other regs, his brothers, and the domino squad. they weren’t viewed as special. he faced the the treat of being decommissioned. but the domino squad was able to overcome that obstacle, by finding themselves and working together as a team. to their superiors, they only proved their worth as trained soldiers.

besides his armor and eventual status as an arc trooper, he’s a standard clone, a ‘reg.’

The Citadel changed that.

The injuries, the trauma, being locked up in a tube for years, experimented on against his will. used by the enemy to defeat the GAR. kill his brothers. Hundreds of them, maybe thousands.

after being rescued, he’s still not the same. He’s gonna carry that trauma with him the rest of his life. he barely even looks like his brothers anymore, let alone himself.

image means a lot, especially in regards to the clones.

the ‘regs,’ besides Rex of course, don’t recognize Echo as one of them anymore.

now that the batch has to fight against clones when dealing with the empire, its ripping open a wound Echo thought was on the mend, and the lack of acknowledgement from Hunter and the rest makes that pain even worse.

so, more than anyone, of course Echo wants to fight. he wants to repair the damage he believes he caused, even though it’s not his fault. he wants to save his brothers so they can make their own choices. he wants to save as many of them as he can from the empire, so they can live the life they want to, the life we know all the clones deserve.

this same desire isn’t present in the batch because, for the reasons I mentioned before, they don’t view the other clones as their brothers. I hope they do, eventually. But it’s obvious we need to see more character development from the entire batch for that to happen. keeping Omega and the squad as a whole safe is the priority, but I’m sure they’ll soon learn running away won’t work forever…or that they even want to.

bound, fear, hunt, and wound for reed and mercy?

[ oc asks: not-so-nice edition ]

bound: Has your OC ever been imprisoned or captured? What happened? How did they get out? Did the experience leave any scars?

The only time Mercy’s actually been captured was when Benny’s gang got her while she had the package with the platinum chip. That obviously didn’t end well for her, she got shot in the head and left in a shallow grave and she was left with has a pretty noticeable scar on her forehead and various longer term effects from the head trauma. She was able to get back at Benny for having the audacity to fuck it up that badly though- she was beyond pissed over how disrespectful it was that he couldn’t even be bothered to bury her right.

Reed's never actually been captured or imprisoned in any manner so he's exempt from this one.

fear: What is your OC's greatest fear? What do they do when confronted with it? Are they open with their fear, or do they hide it away?

Reed’s main fears are being abandoned and losing self-autonomy. He’s obviously forced to deal with the second one when he starts to ghoulify- there’s an unknown risk of going feral, he has absolutely no control over what’s going on with his body as he continues to ghoulify, and he’s absolutely terrified and doesn’t want to confront the fact that he’s terrified. His commitment issues are treated in a similar manner- he’s afraid that he’s going to get attached to people who later decide he’s too much and leave. His solution is to cut it off when he fees that it’s started to get too serious- obviously he can’t get attached if it’s just a casual fling or they’re just friends with benefits, and if he leaves first then it doesn’t give the other person an opportunity to decide he’s too much and end it. If you couldn’t tell by now- Reed 100% hides his fears, he’s not coping with them in an effective or healthy manner and he’s absolutely hiding it by acting like he’s completely unbothered. He also spends some time basically gaslighting himself and others about the fact that he’s ghoulifying- I mean clearly it’s just scarring from radiation burns, right?

Mercy's initial main fear is being caught by the Enclave, which later shifts into a general fear of her background being found out and other factions catching wind of it. She's obviously not open with it, but does typically open up with people she's very close with so they understand the situation. She often uses aliases and rarely stays in one location for more than a few months, and she frequently keeps an eye out for various factions & locations that may cause issues for her later on.

hunt: Who or what is your OC hunted by? A person, a feeling, a past mistake? Is your OC able to let their guard down, or are they constantly alert?

Mercy spends a very long time assuming she’s being hunted by the Enclave- I don’t know if she ever even got close to being caught though, because after escaping she immediately fled East and didn’t return to the surrounding area until after she’d ghoulified. She never legitimately lets her guard down, even though she knows the base she’d escaped from has been destroyed and there’s no way they’re still looking for her; she knows there’s Enclave remnants in other many places and she spends a lot of her time hunting them down instead.

Reed isn't really being hunted in any way, or at least in any way that he's aware of, until after he defects from the Brotherhood. Most of the things that follow him are in more of a passive, haunting manner rather than actively pursuing him.

wound: How does your OC handle being wounded? Are their wounds mostly physical? Mental? Emotional? What's the worst wound your OC has ever experienced?

Reed has a somewhat high pain tolerance and he typically tries to downplay injuries or ignore them- especially after he's started ghoulifying, because he tends to bruise and bleed much easier than he used to. The worst wound(s) he's ever had were from shrapnel during one of his tours in Alaska and it caused the scarring he has on his face. As far as the types of wounds he has: the majority of what he deals with is mental & emotional, but he is pretty injury-prone due to his impulsivity.

Mercy also has a pretty high pain tolerance and she handles injuries pretty well- she’s typically pretty calm & collected. She may not even initially notice shallow surface level wounds due to nerve damage & scarring from ghoulification. The worst injury she’s ever had was from getting shot in the head. As far as the types of wounds she has: most of them are mental & emotional like Reed.

#ask games #thank you!<3 #reed tag #mercy tag #mercy wasn’t even mad about the chip. she’s mad that Benny had the audacity to fuck up a point blank headshot and didn’t even bury her well #like seriously???? cmon. she probably would’ve just handed it over and went on her way if they’d offered something for it
