Mha boys when you have a stomach ache

(Because I am currently in excruciating pain lol)

Fluff. Literally just comfort and fluff. A little bit of implied spice.

Character index: denki, bakugou, shouto, kirishima x GN reader

Denki

This bitch would be so dramatic.

He would ask you all the questions.. like for someone who isn't book smart at all he sure does know a shit ton of symptoms.

Please humor him though he just wants to make sure your not dying.

I mean waking up in the middle of the night to see you curled up in a ball, tears rolling down your face, and your entire body tense and shaking is definitely a terrifying site for this poor boy..

But once you convince him you actually are not on deaths door, he will calm down a bit. He's still freaked the fuck out and absolutely has no idea what he's supposed to do but he will try his best.

He will hold you close all night, rubbing small circles into your stomach to distract you, if it's really bad he might give you some little shocks to distract you more.

In the morning, he'll run you a hot bath, helping you get in. But he won't leave you to your bath without saying something like, "Aren't you gonna be lonely in there without me? Y'know I could totally join you~"

He really likes to test his luck...

But once you shoot him a bit of a glare, indicating you are definitely not in the mood with the pain and all. He will leave you to it.

Although you have to admit baths are a lot more boring without him around...

Bakugou

He would somehow find a way to get mad at you?

Like bakugou wakes up to see you like dying on the floor, trying to find a comfortable position, and his first thought is to scold the absolute shit out of you...

"What the hell's up with you? Why are you curled up like that on the floor? You're gonna give yourself a headache if you sleep without head support idiot! Get back on the bed right now you stupid fuck!!"

He literally drags you back into bed by you collar before storming out of the room. He comes back with an advil, a glass of water and a snack and pretty much stuffs your face with them.

"You have a stomach ache, huh? Well, maybe you shouldn't have eaten that piece of toast you dropped on the floor!! I swear if you didn't have me you'd be dead! How stupid do you have to be to get yourself sick like this huh?? Huh?!"

He would say all this while stuffing a pain killer down your throat and force feeding you a granola bar...

"C'mon eat. You can't take advil on an empty stomach dumbass! Get it together you should know this!"

Once he's done scolding you, he'll huff, laying back down on the bed. Positioning himself so he's spooning you. One of his hands on your stomach, the other in-between your thighs. Turning himself into your own personal heat pack.

He'll make sure you get to sleep before he let's himself fall back asleep.

In the morning, he'll make you breakfast, your favorite breakfast in fact. The whole time grumbling about how its your fault he got no sleep last night. Shoving a plate of beautifully cooked food infront of you...

As pissed as he makes you think he is, he really was worried about you.

Shouto

As cold as the people who don't know him think he is. You know him well enough to know he's a huge softy.

He would immediately ask of your ok. Rubbing your back gently. He doesn't even skip a beat when he sees you curled up in child's pose on your shared bed, your breath sharp and unsteady.

Asks you if you need need anything, and when you respond with a sad sounding "sleep," He smiles softly at you. Thinking you look kinda cute like this..

After he gives himself a moment to figure out what you need, he'll go to your medicine cabinet and get you a painkiller. He'll pour you a glass of water and light a sented candle for extra relaxation. He is determined to get you some sleep.

He will pet your hair softly, speaking to you with the gentlest tone.

"Hey, y/n... can you sit up for me, please? I got you a painkiller, but you need to sit up to take it...*

He would help you up, giving you the pill and the water. He would help you lay back down. Cuddling you up to his left side and heating it up a bit to help your muscles relax. And if you start getting too hot, he'll place his right hand on the back of your neck. Cooling you off.

He would keep you at the perfect temperature to sleep. And you would sleep. Surprisingly enough, one of the best sleeps of your entire life.

Kirishima

This poor boy is absolutely lost.

He has zero idea how to help you and is instead left trying to calm you down as you sob into the bed sheets...

(Please, he's so freaked out)

I can see him patting your back like an awkward dad y'know?

He tries to talk you out of it too. Trying to act like he's not scared out of his mind that you're dying or some shit..

"Hey.. hey. You're ok.. you're ok, right? You're fine. Im here. You don't have to cry.. please don't cry.. are you okay??"

He's trying so hard but is so confused. Your talking is almost unintelligible through your tears, but eventually, he hears a soft, "advil..." Through the sobs.

He will fetch you some immediately. It takes him less than a minute before he's back. Advil in hand. A very determined look on his face.

Within like 30 minutes your passed out on his chest again. Sleeping oh so peacefully. He can finally breath, thanking the gods your ok. He was so worried you have no idea. Or I guess you probably do considering how he was fumbling over his words and desperately trying to help you. Now he just runs his hands through your hair, falling asleep in the quiet bliss of your breathing.

He will research the fuck out of this in the morning and make sure he is well prepared for the next incident. After all it is so not manly to not know how to care for your significant other..

My thoughts on Hazbin Hotel's villains, because I think they have a problem

Valentino

Val is just. where do i even start.

His introductory scene is largely comedic and makes his freak-out over Angel just living somewhere else the butt of the joke. The same scene conveys that he is already losing control over Angel and can’t do anything about it, since Angel is ignoring his calls, and Vox convinces him that ignoring this blatant misstep is the better option. This is an okay scene (i even found it funny), but it’s a bad villain introduction. Especially a villain that we are meant to take seriously and, from the perspective of the main characters, fear.

(There’s also an inconsistency with Angel in ep1-2 feeling free to ignore Val’s calls and messages, but in ep4 he is stumbling all over himself to please Val)

His introduction had to be made from the point of view of one of his victims to set up a proper tone of menace to him, instead of making it from the point of view of his fellow overlords, who view him as a whiny dumb piss baby. This scene would be okay a lot later down the line, in my opinion, when we are already familiar with what a despicable dangerous asshole he is, and the characters (Angel Dust) begin to step up to him more. We see his facade crumble alongside the main characters to reveal who he truly is without all his power and control - a whiny sex-obsessed loser.

There's also an issue of us not really getting a scale of his power. This guy is portrayed as an extremely forward hot-tempered dumbass, who has to be verbally guided to make a better strategic move than a “just kill and rape everybody”. He freaking licks the princess of Hell, talks down to her like she is one of his porn actresses, and physically assaults a person under her care right in front of her, and she is supposed to be someone more powerful than him, and he should know that.

This guy can’t manipulate and strategize for his life, so to compensate for this (and make his rise to power more believable), he needs to have some truly impressive physical power. And tearing apart some character offscreen and wielding some guns doesn’t cut, bc basically everyone can do that in hell, what makes him special? Show off how his vaping powers can really fuck people up, poison dozens, hypnotize them, make them addicted to him! Make him so uniquely dangerous that he doesn’t even need to be smart and cordial to rise to power!! Otherwise, how the hell we should believe that he owns the whole porn industry of the Pride Ring, including legally owning his workers, if the show puts more focus on his stupidity and lack of tact than on whatever power he has?

Like he is meant to be our main antagonist and threat, alongside with his TV boyfriend, until the angels come back in the finale, don’t just waste them away on lame jokes.

Speaking of which.

Vox

I like Vox. I like his voice actor’s performance and the voice effects and filters that they give him to reflect his mood. I feel like he had a better introduction than Val (which is not a high bar to clear): it showed that he is pretty smart, strategic, and image-conscious. With this and his heavily implied power to hypnotize and stalk people through his tech, the fact that he is in power and the threat that he poses are much more believable.

Anyway, this gets completely wasted 10 minutes into the first episode he appears in, when he gets verbally floored by Alastor. And he cried about it right after. And later in the same episode we see him fail again at another one of his schemes, bc he chose the most incompetent spy ever. Once again, silly comedy shatters any kind of illusion of threat that the villains might pose. Which also leads me to..

Alastor

Who is not really a villain, and this is kind of a problem. He really could have been a great threat and an antagonist, but i really don’t believe they are going to go in that direction.

Alastor is a very OP character and is the one holding power and control in basically any interaction he is in, including the villains. And since he is an ally of Hazbin Hotel, whose goals (the details of which we are not aware of) partially align with theirs, he completely fucks over any kind of tension regarding anything that might threaten the Hotel or it’s residents. Because you can just throw Alastor at it and make it go away. Because the writers just can’t have him lose.

And we don’t have any reason to believe that he would just refuse to help, because so far? He does whatever Charlie or Vaggie ask him to do. He might be a smug dick about it, but he still does that. He even agrees to film a TV commercial (twice!) despite his vocal hate of such technology. Furthermore, he has to make a deal with Vaggie so they don’t have him do something like this again (granted, this scene might hold some additional implications in the future, but so far this is all the context we got). Why can’t he just refuse to do things that he doesn’t want to do?

Which they could have fixed if they made his power more limited. Either by reducing the scale of his power so he is at most on the same level as the villains,

OR have his presence and help be limited. Make that the characters often can’t access him for help or he just. refuses to help them. He even says that he is here to have fun and watch them suffer, so wouldn’t them struggling to, idk, get rid of Sir Pentious, for example, be entertaining for him? Or balance out his help with instances where he causes conflicts and problems on purpose. Beyond just him annoying Vaggie for comedy’s sake.

And if any of this is what they are actually going for, then you need to make it a point to the audience that yes, this guy is powerful, but don’t expect him to productively help with any of the narrative threats and problems.

And lastly,

Adam and the angels

I don’t like Adam. He is annoying as hell and his jokes are drawn out and not funny at all. The logistics of him being an angel when he is Adam and when he acts like this, give me a massive headache that is related to a whole other topic i’ll need to make a separate post about.

Despite all this, Alex Brightman is doing a great job selling how utterly insufferable he is. His song is also pretty good, one of the more memorable ones in the show. And he (and the angels by extension) is also the most menacing and competent villain on the show so far. ...Do you see my predicament here?

Granted, this is not a very high bar to clear, as established with. the other ones. For example, in contrast to the pilot, we are only told about how dangerous and deadly the exterminator-angels are. “[Sinners] never managed to kill one of us [angels]” “In the latest extermination, [angels] killed the highest 18% percent of our [sinner] population” etc etc. We don’t see the angels killing anybody on screen, we barely see the aftermath of the extermination.

What we do see is the panic and helplessness with which most of the hell population treat the exterminations, including Charlie. We see Charlie struggling to convince Adam of her plan, barely able to talk back to him, which sells Adam as the more powerful in the interaction. We see Adam not showing all his cards to Charlie, like the fact they are planning to completely wipe out the whole Hell/Pride Ring, showing that he is not completely stupid despite his whole deal (well, there’s implied to be some kind of plan here, but i’ll talk about my problem with the logic in another post).

Otherwise, we don’t have anyone else to compare with him, since Charlie is the only one who interacts with angels on-screen. But all of this so far gives a suitable illusion of how dangerous and powerful the angels are. But what will happen if angels are faced with our all powerful Tumblr Sexyman Mary Sue? Will the universe let Alastor lose and then collapse in on itself? Or the other obvious option?

Anyway, in conclusion, Hazbin’s villains are not very good so far. Their main problems are the fact that the writers can't properly establish their threat and lever of power, or they undercut this with unsuitable comedy. Also, they don't know how to use their OP main character, so they won't ruin the stakes of the story.

ABBY ‘WAR MACHINE’ ANDERSON

—short thoughts

• A honey girl, always keeps a summer tan, usually from working out on the quad all day. Practically glowing all of the time and the girls are insane about it.

• Sorry, the braid is dead. Only ever really wears it on the rugby field, and when she’s walking around campus, her hair is usually down, or up in a bun and held back with a sweatband. Whatever mental image you’re conjuring in your mind, it’s correct. Even that one.

• Her father is the country’s premier neurosurgeon, and he’s donated a lot of money to Jackson University. A library there, a faculty building there, even refurbishing the rugby field for the season. He practically gives a blank check each year, and because of this, consequences don’t really exist for Abs and she gets away with any and everything. The reason why she has an air fryer in her dorm and the RAs pretend like they don’t see it.

• Proud community strap. Was notorious freshman year for having a rotating cycle of girlfriends and side pieces. ‘Those are not healthy coping mechanisms, Abby.’ Her therapist says, but is there really any better way to ease your mind that slipping deep into a warm body, tight and soft and wet? No, probably not.

• Has the prettiest smile, smiles with her eyes, always so charming with plump, kissable lips. Has perfect teeth, never missed a dentist appointment and gets check ups religiously. Had braces in the 10th grade and when she had her first kiss with a girl she cut her lip and it bled all down her mouth. She probably fainted idk.

• Girl himbo (I know what I said.) butch himbo? Butchbo? Actually super smart and well read, majoring in animal science to become a vet tech. Spends a lot of her time in the school library, when she’s not on the field, or at a party, or in a stranger’s bed. Or in her own bed, nursing a hangover, whatever’s more common.

• Still roommates with Manny since freshman year. Originally she got set up with Leah, who then of course wanted to room with her boyfriend, who was conveniently dorming with Manny. A little form-filling here, some schmoozing there, a little ‘my dad owns this school’ over yonder and it was a match made in heaven. Nobody has a deeper, more intimate connection than a butch lesbian and her boy best friend.

• Terribly afraid of needles. She can’t pinpoint specifically what she has against them but they inspire the same nausea in her that heights do, so when she can she steers clear of them. In a turn of drunken, reckless events, Manny convinced her to get her ears pierced, because pretty girls love stud earrings, obviously. By the time the piercer did one ear, Manny had to carry her out of the parlor because she had COMPLETELY passed out.

• Between classes and practice, she forgot to clean her piercing and her ear got infected. She had two large-scale mental breakdowns; the first when she woke up leaking and burning from her ear, which had already sucked the metal halfway into the flesh, and the second, when her dumbass roommate said, “it’s okay, man. I have pliers, I can pull it out for you and then you’re good as new.” She almost threw up.

• The great piercing debacle of ‘21 ended in her calling up her dad, bawling, because she didn’t know what to do, Manny sitting on the couch listening to her freak the fuck out in the bathroom. “This is what happens when you put foreign objects into your body, Abs.” He chided, as *another* needle was plunged into her skin —local anesthetic— before he sliced open her earlobe with a scalpel.

• The proud driver of a cherry-red enclosed Jeep Wrangler, fully paid off by her dad as a highschool graduation gift, an upgrade from the white Audi she got as a 16th birthday present. She gets it rewrapped every six months —the ice blue was real popular with the ROTC girls, the olive green got the environmental club girls out of their panties, the red and black is a pretty good catch-all— (school colours, by the way!)

• Gets her car detailed once every two weeks, the back seat has those mud mats laid down. they’re not for mud.

• Retired horse girl, ALMOST got a pony for her fourteenth birthday! Then, shit happened… and she didn’t get the pony for her fourteenth birthday.

• Loves revenge and power plays, actually! It’s her specialty at this point😚 Got into some medium-tier beef with some dickhead on campus, and somehow his mouth got ahead of him and ended with her being branded as the town’s bulldyke. Interestingly enough, the day didn’t end in Anderson-typical violence. Instead, as one does, she trailed him home one day, borrowing Nora’s black sedan for recon. Just for field research, obviously!

• In the interest of honesty, Abs was definitely planning on stealing the wheels off of his car, or putting bleach in his gas tank, —sugar is a myth, just so you know— until she saw the most beautiful creature strolling out of the house and into a white SUV. Then, her plan changed for absolute scorched-earth total destruction, to an excruciating slow-burn.

• The next week, while shopping at the grocery store which she totally didn’t drive 30 minutes out of her way to go to, she had her first meet cute, coincidentally, with a gorgeous 40-something that just so happened to be some asshole’s mom.

• Before she knew it, she was fucking her on every surface in her house, —artfully furnished, great feng-shui— the kitchen, the bathroom, her marital bed, the couch, essentially the full tour, until they got to her son’s bedroom. Kept a mental note, and when she excused herself to the bathroom she probably erased all of the little shit’s PlayStation saves, too.

• When you start fucking a guy’s mom, it changes you. Your wardrobe especially. Including an arsenal of completely coincidental, just for fun slogan tees, with hits like “I ❤️ HOT MOMS!” “PROMOTED TO DADDY” and a personal favourite, “MAN, I LOVE FISHING!”

* And of course, she comes back to campus fresh off of a 3 hour stint of eating out a woman twice her age, to greet her new best friend with a smile and a, “Hey, your mom makes a good apple fritter! Dessert was fuckin’ greaaat, too! Practically finger lickin’ :)”

* CEO of revenge, comedically evil.

"MY GIRL, MY GIRL, MY GIRL."

plot: confessing to someone who hasn't talked about their sexuality once in their life is hard, especially when it's your best friend.

reader: fem! Reader

warnings: shoko identifies as lesbian in this fic, little mentions of satosugu

(a/n): I just wanted to write about shoko and october's coming up soooooo

It was cold, surprisingly cold in October. You and your best friend, Shoko ieiri were laughing as you recalled the good old days when you were all highschoolers. Shoko preferred not to talk about geto, but today she was in a good mood so she kept talking. "Remember when Gojo put eight cubes of sugar in Geto's tea?" "Oh man, the face he made when he drank that shit." Shoko chuckles as she takes out a cig. She then pauses and puts them back in her pocket. "Hey, I thought you smoked?" You ask her. "You stopped now?" "Yeah. It's a bad habit." "Pfft. Like you ever cared about that." "Well..." She sighs. "I...someone I like always discourages me doing it." Your heart stops. Someone Shoko likes? "O-oh. Uh- what are they like?" You feel your blood boiling with envy. God, you really shouldn't feel like this. Especially towards your best friend. Just imagining the possibilities could be endless, but you picked the most likely one. You told Shoko you were gay for her, she freaks out and never talks to you again. But still, being in the friend zone still hurt a lot, and it hurt especially hard when gojo and geto started dating too. You remembered when they first came out to you both.

"Guys...." Gojo said. "We're dating!" "I knew." Shoko deadpans. "It was obvious too." You added. "What?" Geto exclaims. "You guys ruined our big surprise!" "Don't care. You two were looking at each other with those awful awestruck eyes, barf." Shoko rolls her eyes. "Well if you're so smart, how come you don't notice (name) crushing on you?" Gojo shoots back. "Your eyes widen as your face flushes a deep shade of red. "W-What?? T-that's not true!" "Your ears say otherwise," Geto snickers. "Shut up guys, (name) deserves better anyways." Shoko grins. "U-Uh...yeah..." You trail off. How could you tell her you liked her now?

"Well..." She muses for a second. "They're really nice. And kind. And they look cute when they're frustrated with something." She then goes silent. "Seriously?" You think. "That's it?" You joke. “I would think that someone as pretty as you would expect more of others.” She looks up at you, with an unreadable expression on her face. “You think I’m pretty?” “Ohshitohshitohshitcallforbackup-“ “uh! I meant-uh- yeah! You’re really pretty!” You flash her a goofy grin to lighten up the tension, but she’s still looking at you with that unreadable expression of hers.

“Huh. Well, for the record, I think you’re pretty too.” You swear you stopped breathing, and a million thoughts started racing through your brain. “Is she saying it in a friend way or in a romantic way? Is she flirting with me? My longtime crush?” You feel your heart expanding into a big white ball, threatening to burst at any given moment. “Oh.” There’s a bit of silence between you, the only sound being the rustle of the leaves that flew around you. “Like in a romantic way or-“ “Romantically, dumbass.”

It was at then your heart exploded.

"You...like me?"

"Duh." Shoko turned her head to look at you again. "God, you're dense." There's a twinkle in her eyes now while she's smiling at you.

"So...are we girlfriends now?"

"Yeah."

You spend the rest of the night in silence, and at 9 you and Shoko walked back to Jujustu Tech together, hand intertwined with each others.

Hello. I love Conner Kent and have compiled pretty much every time Conner and Tim have had any kind of intimacy since he was brought back to canon.

Let’s go in order!

Young Justice 2019 (not to be confused with the OG)

For the record, this is pre-bisexual-realization Tim. tbh I’ve been thinking about just how bitter Tim sounds here despite still being oblivious to how freaking gay he is. Like, seriously “Whatever dumb thing or person makes him happy makes me happy.” Like, why they gotta be dumb, Timbo? While not anywhere near as weird, it also feels very strong for Tim to say with his whole-ass chest “he’s my best friend and I love him” solely given how recently he recovered those memories.  But if they had resolidified into him by that point, it’s not too strange. Stronger things have been said about them and by them.

Conner goes right for Tim. (In fairness, Cassie’s already got him and Bart isn’t in the room yet, but still)

(Also please join me in desperately trying to ignore the Drake outfit for the next few images because Yikes)

Conner was being such a Mom to Bart before this that this just reminds me of when they started Young Justice and he made a comment about how Bart would be a handful for other heroes or parents and Tim just gave him a Look and he was like “Oh, no! I am NOT the mom!” Sure, Jan.

More cute Bart, but it’s just...the thought. Bart knew Tim would want to see pics of Kon punching Luthor in the face and I love that for them.

I couldn’t not include the subsequent hug. THEY’RE SO FRICKIN CUTE.

That’s about it for Young Justice (and thankfully Drake). Next is the Tim Drake Pride Special, most of which is also in Batman: Urban Legends. Though Conner is only in Urban Legends for this one hot sec.

Kon doesn’t end up helping with Bernard because Tim is a stubborn dumbass with a habit for self-sabotage. But he saves the day and gets the boy anyway.

(For the record, I am endgame TimKon 100%, but Tim and Bernard are also very cute together and I’m so excited to see more of them! Honestly, read the new Tim Drake: Robin comics they are so flippin cute and we get to see Bernard being a ridiculous conspiracy theorist like he was on New Earth and it’s actually pretty funny and so cute UGH)

Then this is I think exclusive to the Pride Special, and we are post Bisexual Awakening.

So many people loved this page. Including me. But this part of the special was more about getting Tim to talk to Stephanie again. Because he’s an awkward loser who is trying to find himself and will occasionally just distance himself from people to do so. Despite generally being self aware and knowing better.

Anywho, the following is from Dark Crisis: Young Justice. Which isn’t too bad, but sometimes feels a bit wonky, especially with the girls. But it’s not totally out of character, especially given the Fresh Trauma, and it gets in the boys’ heads. And there’s...A Lot.

This is...well, these are Cassie’s thoughts. The plot hole made here, “Conner never find[ing] out” which shouldn’t be true because both Cassie AND Tim told him about this, is hand waved later because the whole thing with Rebirth is everyone’s memories are Fucked. I mean, Kon and Bart should have not been included in that because they were “off-world” when the N52 reboot happened which is the explanation for the 90s/2000s versions to come back basically as they had been, but y’know. Comics.

But anyway, this is bringing up, in case you live under a rock and were unaware, the time when Kon died and Cassie and Tim started dating for a hot second almost entirely because of their shared grief over Kon. Cassie had literally been in a Superboy cult and Tim was in the desperate process of trying to clone him.

You know. Fun times.

Dark Crisis actually has a lot of Kon@Tim stuff. I mean, plenty of the mutual affection still, but Kon is very focused on Tim, whereas Tim is trying to be more logical and, funny enough, listening to Bart.

Everyone forgets Bart is Super Smart, in part because he’s actually naturally clever but has a goober personality, but also because part of his trauma response to getting his kneecap blow off and having to have surgery done with little to no anesthetic because his metabolism burned that shit right out, he literally consumed an entire library. Like, read every single book there at super speed. Boy Knows Things. Plus he’s experienced to much more trauma since then, he’s become a quick thinker (pun always intended).

But you’re not here for my Bartholomew Is Great lecture, you’re here for TimKon!

Coffee Boy Confirmed

Oh, Tim...

All three of them go flying out of a car and Kon grabs Tim, but fuck Bart I guess? Bart brings this up later but it’s still frustrating. Sure, Tim and Kon are besties, but they love Bart. He’s not a third wheel in their friendship. He’s part of it. Just...sigh.

I love “You know I can run, right?” This is just a little glimpse into while Kon’s brain seems almost exclusively reserved for self pity and Tim, and Tim is still very much more focused on Conner, Tim is still paying attention to Bart (even if he doesn’t feel like it). Tim didn’t need to grab Bart at all, but why not?

Again, Kon brushing Bart off entirely, and Tim acknowledging Bart’s point but still showing preference to Kon.

Tim is So Done with these two and it’s so funny.

Also want to note, “process this with Babs later”. Is Babs acting as his therapist? I think she has the training, or at least a degree in psychology? That would actually be kinda sweet.

This seems so much more “ow my heart” out of context...the context is, Kon is being a dick to Bart. Tim ultimately disagrees with Conner, but not enough for Bart to not storm off, as seen below.

For the record, that’s not Cassie. Which is pretty obvious from the jump. But even here...yikes.

This stunned look (which is oddly glassy-eyed and unnerving tbh...) is in direct contrast to his calm understanding when Cassie actually told him, and then when Tim tried to talk to him about it. He was initially like “that’s kinda fucked up, but I get it and I forgive you”. Which...honestly sounds super big and sweet, but he also had pretty much the same reaction to “I was in a Superboy revival cult” and “I tried to clone you 90+ times and considered tossing you in a Lazarus Pit” so...

What I’m saying is Kon, in true Kent fashion, is a himbo.

But this could set off so many trains of thought here. Cassie told him it was out of grief that she did it--Tim never gets to explain his side. But what if it was a grief reaction for Tim? (It was.) Does that mean he was projecting his feelings for Conner onto Cassie? (Probably.) Tim knows he likes boys now, does that mean he liked Conner? (Likely.) Either way, what does Kon do with this?

Okay, this isn’t TimKon, but these boys are so fucking funny. Have I mentioned that I love Tim Drake? Because I love him. (Also reminds me of the time when Bart’s head was fucked up and he thought he was Batman...look, the 90s were weird, okay?)

They just had a fight and Tim’s first move is to stabilize and comfort Conner. Just....aaaaaaaaaaaa

And then we get to the fourth issue...which is probably my favorite because we’re finally in Conner’s head! We’ve been bopping between Bart and Tim until now (and also Cassie and Cissie elsewhere), but nearly this whole comic is Kon’s POV and it’s both hilarious and a little heartbreaking. I...I love him. He is my Favorite.

So, they’re being attacked by a whole fake Justice League and Titans (I see Roy and Kory and Kyle and Donna and--) and Big Bad is fucking with the sound waves. Until Conner is like, “Okay, but what if we didn’t?”

He’s the one who’s been trying to convince the other two that this fake world is okay, that it’s better and they should stay, despite things being noticeably Off, and despite the distinct lack of Jon, Damian, and Wallace. (As far as I know, Bart doesn’t know Wallace too well, but Kon and Jon at least met and got on okay, and Tim and Damian are...well, they’re at a point in their relationship of begrudging respect and affectionate verbal violence rather than, y’know, actual violence). Bart wants to GTFO, and Tim was wishy-washy at first, but at this point is firmly with Bart and wants out. I mean, he started getting Bad Vibes when Fake Batman said him wanting to date Bernard over Stephanie was “just a phase”. I didn’t include that image despite loving it, but Tim’s internal thoughts are, verbatim, “@#$&#&* what?” which can, I would guess, be translated to, “Fucking what?” Tim is very curse-y in this series.

But I’m getting sidetracked. Kon wants to stay, the others want out, and Kon throws a bitch fit.

“The man was too stunned to speak”

Poor Bart, figuratively and literally carrying this fucking team.

Here we go.

Hey. Hey, Conner. Buddy. What the fuck does that mean, man?

I cannot begin to tell you the number of ways this page hurts me. Just...all three of them are so fed up with everything and aaaaaaaaa

And then Bart rightfully goes off.

Like, that’s not quite true, but it sure do be feeling that way right now. And while even in this post I’ve shown just how much both of them can care and pay attention to Bart, they have always been more focused on each other. At first it was because Tim was secretive and Kon thought he had a stick up his ass meanwhile Conner was new to the world and being actively manipulated by people. And then it’s because they’re best friends. Like, heterosexual life partners levels of best friends. Platonic (or not-so-platonic) soulmates levels of best friends. They both consider Bart their best friend too, but they hold each other above pretty much everyone else. Which, after they’ve all lost some footholds in reality with their seniors missing, those small slights feel more pointed and are getting to Bart a lot more. He’s hurting and Tim’s the only one listening, but Tim is favoring Kon and it’s driving him up the wall. All that frustration and resentment come to a head. Hopefully to be resolved.

I’ve made this a Young Justice Boys post instead of just a TimKon post, but I regret nothing!

For the sake of my image limit I haven’t given everything I love about this issue, but even if you don’t read the rest (which is fair, it gives some people Bad Vibes at the start) please read this issue. Conner’s inner monologue is so stupid and so funny and I love him so much.

But anywhozits, proceeding!

I want it noted that Bart was attacked right before this and is held on the ground but Conner immediately goes for Tim. Unbelievable.

(I refuse to crop out Bart when he’s funny)

I’m, uh, not a fan of Superboy’s face here, but y’know, more him focused on Tim. While Bart is in a similar predicament.

He finally mentions Bart...after he seems to have nearly been able to save himself.

(Yes, the bad guy’s name is Mickey. Yes it’s awful, but that’s the point. I think.)

Now, here’s a big point for me, so I’m breaking down the page.

Mickey-boy conjures up images of new and revised characters (ex. Jon Kent and Harley Quinn) and Tim sees

And the next panel?

He sees Tim looking at the image of his boyfriend...and he changes his tune.

And they they all go off on a speech that’s touching in context but incredibly cheesey out of it. Also a bit obnoxiously meta, but so is this whole storyline.

“What are you gonna do about it, Conner Kent?” I don’t know why that gets me so much but it does.

That’s all for now. Last DCYJ comes out November 15 and I’ll probably edit this post at that point to add what’s in there but I’m impatient and made this whole thing and I need people to love and appreciate these boys.

🐍Being Nohebi's Manager🐍

Daishou's Little Sister

(Reverse Harem)

Nohebi x Daishou YN (fem! reader)

Warnings: Swearing

A/N: This is a request from 🦢 anon! Honestly, I'm excited for alot of requests but this is DEFINITELY one! First time writing a full set for Nohebi and our snake bbys deserve it 🥺

I'm slowly getting back into posting 🥰

🏳️‍🌈 Please Like, Share, Comment to support my writing 🏳️‍🌈

*sigh*

A big LONG exasperated *SIGH*

Once again I'm just out here, making dreams come true for our Queen Yn

It's hard being a fairy godmother 😫

But alas someone must do it and the best person for the job??

Me 🥰💅🏼

Let me toot my own horn ok 😅

So anyways, let's get too it!

Everyone on Nohebi knew Daishou had a baby sister

He rarely talked about you, except to say how annoying you were 🙄

Typical sibling stuff

So let's just say, it was a pretty big shock to the entire team when you showed up looking for your brother

Daishou had wanted to find a manager for his third year but no candidates had come about

Mika wasn't an option

Remember she thought Volleyball wasn't cool or whatever 🙃

The other third years had joked about Daishou asking his elusive "sister" to be the manager

It often went something like this 👇🏻

"Suguru just ask your sister to be the manager. I mean she deals with your dumbass all the time"- Takachiho said

Daishou 👉🏻 😐 absolutely not

"It's probably because she doesn't exist"- Sakishima joked

"Oh she's very much real and very much the bain of my existence"- Daishou 😒

"It's just weird that we've never seen her before. What are you afraid we'll corrupt her?"- Numai 😆

"Very much the opposite actually"- Daishou said setting up the net

Meanwhile, Kuguri and Seguro are grabbing the volleyballs when the door opens

Kuguri stops and Seguro looks at him, then looking at the door

Literally them 👉🏻😲😲

"Holy crap, it's that super hot first year from my science class"- Kuguri says

"Dang! Who the heck is she??"- Seguro

"Her name is Yn. She's in my literature class. She's freaking gorgeous, smart and funny!"- Akama says coming up besides them

Numai, Takachiho, Hiroo and Sakishima all look over towards the door

There stands the most gorgeous girl they have seen in their entire lives 😍

These boys are standing there like 🥵🥵🥵

"Damn who is that hotty?"- Hiroo asks

"I've seen her around, I think she's a first year"- Sakishima adds

"Lucky bastards"- Numai

Just as you look around, you smile at the boys who instantly cease to exist 💀

Then it happens

"YN what the hell are you doing here??"- Daishou shouts

You just glare 😑

"Shut it Suguru! I came to give you your stupid jacket since you let it at home and mom had to work late"- You, shouting back at Daishou

Suddenly Mika comes in and screams

"YN OMG HI LOVELY"- she says as you hug her

Daishou just rolls his eyes 🙄 and goes to grab his jacket

Now the peanut gallery is super confused 🤨

What the heck is happening here??

"Ahh Suguru... umm who is this?"- Hiroo

"She's nobody"- Suguru says walking away from you

"Suguru be nice to YN"- Mika yells

"Yeah be nice to your sister Suguru"- You 😜

Hold up 🤚🏻

"You're..."- Takachiho

"SISTER"- Sakishima, Kuguri, Seguro, Akama, Numai, and Hiroo shout

You giggle as you look at all of their shocked faces

Please Yn do less 😒

"Unfortunately yes"- Daishou says walking further away from him

You skip after him, on your way to make good on your baby sister pest status

"Ahhh Suguru you didn't tell me you had such handsome boys on your team"- you say smiling

Really YN... please do less ✋🏻

The boys 👉🏻😳😲

"YN leave now before I tell mom about you sneaking out last weekend"- Daishou

"Go ahead big brother, I'll just tell mom about how you snuck Mika in the house when they were out of town"- you, again being the baby

"YN I swear to god-"

"Bring it"- you say approaching your brother

"Ok killer chill out"- Numai says getting in between you and Suguru

"Hey your that super tall ace all the girls talk about! Man they are so right! You are cute!"- you 😍

Numai 👉🏻 uhh well ☺️

Please the rest of the team is FUMING at Numai right now 😅

"YN knock it off-"

"Hey do you guys need a manager???"- you say suddenly

Before Daishou can even form the word, the boys all scream

"YES!"- The entire team

Daishou 👉🏻🤨😐🙄

The team 👉🏻😍😍😍

Mika 👉🏻😬

"Yay!! Omg can I be your manager?? Please! I need a club!"- you say, jumping up and down

"Absolutely not"- Daishou

"Suguru please"- you 🥺🥺🥺

"YN no! Go manage the basketball team or something"- Suguru says glaring at you

"Don't you think this should be a team vote?"- Sakishima says

Daishou 👉🏻 really 😐

"Yeah I say we all vote"- Hiroo

Your eyes sparkle as you clap your hands together

These boys are already whipped YN you don't need to put so much effort in 🙄

"Ok all those opposed to YN being our manager"- Akama says

Daishou's hand shoots up

He looks around

Zero support from the crowd, literal crickets 🦗🦗

"All those in favor..."- Akama says

Please he doesn't even finish the sentence before these boys hands are higher than the clouds 🤣

Daishou 👉🏻🤦‍♂️ don't say I didn't warn you guys

You smile and run to hug them all

Please you literally jump into Kuguri's arms

Kuguri 👉🏻😰

Please you broke the poor boy YN

You move your way down the line as you hug each one

"I'm so excited to work with all of you"- you shout as you wave and run towards Mika who is waiting

When you leave, all hell breaks loose

"YOU SON OF A BITCH"- Takachiho shouts, glaring at Daishou

"You seriously hid THAT from us!"- Sakishima joins in

"She is literally the hottest girl I've ever seen in my entire life"- Seguro adds

"Probably the hottest girl we will ever see"- Kuguri adds

Daishou just stands there 🧍‍♂️ 😐

"Well now we have the hottest manager in the entire prefecture"- Akama says high fiving Hiroo

"More like the hottest manager in freaking Japan!"- Numai adds

Daishou 👉🏻 you guys realize that'd my sister right 🤨

"Dude you are just lucky YN will end up with me"- Takachiho says

The world stops ✋🏻

The boys heads snap to him

"You mean, with me?"- Sakishima interjects

Daishou 👉🏻 😐

"You guys know I'm the ace right? You remember she said I was cute right?"- Numai

"That's because your big head was blocking her view of the rest of us"- Hiroo

Daishou just rolls his eyes and walks away from the team

Please they asked for this 😅

You start your job as manager and boy is it exciting

Thankfully you are actually a decent manager...

The boys thrive under your praise YN 👏🏻

"Kuguri that was an amazing kill!"- you scream as you jump up and down clapping on the side line

Kuguri blushes while the team looks like they are about to commit homicide 🙃

"Sakishima that set was perfect!! And Hiroo, your blocks are so on point!"- you scream

YN you're doing it again...

"Akama I can't believe you dug that ball up!"

Seguro that serve was so good and Takachiho that line shot was gorgeous!"

Yn... chill...

You hand the boys their water bottles and run to get the towels

"God I feel like I'm practicing so much better with YN here"- Numai

"She's amazing"- Takachiho

"Honestly, how did we do without a manager for so long?"- Seguro

Daishou stands apart from the team, observing your interactions

"Guys I'm so excited for this tournament!! There's going to be so many schools there!"- you say excitedly

The boys all nodd at you before it suddenly smacks them in the fact

So many schools...

That means....

So... many... BOYS

Ope 😶

You giggle with excitement as you go to start collecting the volleyballs

The boys all stop and stare at you as you skip around the gym

"Hiroo your walking me home tonight right?"- You say

Hiroo just nodds as you kiss his cheek and skip away to keep about your tasks

Please these boys are just standing there, water bottles halfway to their mouths, like "shit 😐"

How could they have forgotten about the TOURNAMENT

Daishou walks up to them and smirks 😏

"Something wrong guys"- Daishou 🙃🙃🙃

Kuguri looks at Daishou, then to you as you go about your tasks

"We gotta protect our girl"- Numai says

"Agreed"- Sakishima says

After your done cleaning up, you change into your uniform and meet the boys by the gym

"Hey YN so we were thinking.."- Akama says

"Maybe you shouldn't come to the tournament with us..."- Takachiho

Your eyes start to water 🥺

"You- you guys don't want me there??"- you 😢

The boys eyes widen

"Please YN don't cry"- Sakishima says

"Am I- am I not doing a good job??"- you 🥺🥺🥺

"Sweetheart no you are doing perfect!"- Numai says hugging you

He looks over at the other guys who are now all unsure what to do

Daishou walks behind and smirks at them again 😏

Mans knows exactly what's happening here

"Yn we just want to make sure your safe"- Hiroo

"But you guys will be there and you can protect me right"- you say, peeking out from Numai's chest 🥺

Please YN you really do the most 🤚🏻

"YN we definitely want you there!"- Akama

"I think YN should be there as our manager"- Daishou interrupts

These boys just look at him like 😐 really-

"YN is a valuable part of our team now and she's earned a spot on our bench"- Daishou says, again smirking 😏

"Suguru 🥺"- you say running to hug your brother

They are all just standing there like 👇🏻 "really Suguru 😐"

Daishou pays them no mind tho 💅🏼

Unbothered king

So instead of making you cry again, they all just agree to guard you with their lives 🤣

Literally they are so stressed come tournament time 😅

You notice your poor bbys seem on edge

Hiroo is just standing there, in his own world and you walk up hugging him 🫂

He hugs you back and kisses the top of your head

"You look stressed"- you snuggling into him

Please he's a comfy tree YN give him love

"I'm ok love, just nervous"- he says hugging you tightly

You look to see the other boys just as nervous

YN to the rescue 🦸🏻‍♀️

You hug and kiss all the boys cheeks

You head to the gym to warm up, the boys getting ready to start spiking drills

"Ohh YN??? Could you go fill these up? I forgot to ask you earlier"- Daishou, knowing full well he did not forget

"Oh sure! I'll be right back"- you say grabbing the crate and running off

Daishou 👇🏻 freaking smirky snake boi

While in the hallway, you stumble into someone on accident

"Oh my! I'm so very sorry!"- you say, looking up to see a very tall, darker haired man

He looks... almost... Rooster like 😏

"Well hello there"- Rooster man says smiling at you

"Kuroo stop being weird"- a shorter guy in a red Nekoma jacket says

"I'm not being weird! I was just saying hello!"- the tall man yelled

"Oh im so very sorry! I was just apologizing for running into your teammate"- you say grining wide

The boys both look at you with heart eyes 😻

"Hey will you two stay with the group?"- another boy says, as he joined by several more guys in red jackets

They all look at you at you as you stand there smiling 😁

✨️back in the gym ✨️

Takachiho looks around and then hits Sakishima in the arm

"Hey man-"

"Where's YN?"- Takachiho says panicking

Numai, Hiroo, Akama, Kuguri, and Seguro all look around

"Suguru where is YN?"- Numai shouts

Daishou just shrugs 🤷‍♂️ and walks away

Freaking snake 🐍

The boys BARREL out into the hallway, looking everywhere until they see you

Standing next to NEKOMA

Oof 😬

Sakishima, Hiroo and Numai charge as Takachiho grabs you and pulls you behind him

"Yoshiya what-" you confused

"You pussy cats better not have touched our YN"- Numai growls

"As if they could even, our YN is too perfect for the likes of them"- Sakishima adds, arms crossed and glaring

"Hey- we were just talking with her"- Kuroo says, hands up and smirking 😏

He's just as sneaky as Daishou!

"Save it Kuroo"- Hiroo spits as he grabs your hand and hauls you towards the gym doors

Kuguri and Serugo fawn over you when you get back

"YN what happened-"

"Those bastard cats were talking to her"- Akama yelled

"Excuse me??"- Seguro says 😃

"Really guys, I'm ok"- you say smiling at your overprotective bois

They all look at you and boy are they PISSED

This calls for a good ole YN intervention

Hugs and kisses YN, needed STAT

The boys instantly calm as you make your way around the team

"Besides Suguru asked me to fill up the waterbottles before the match"- you say, smiling and turning away to set up the bench

The guys all look at each other, then to Daishou 😐😑

Daishou 👉🏻👀😗 🎶 what??

Please 🤚🏻 if you don't think this man is going to take advantage of his teammates crushing on his baby sister

Do you really know the snakes at all 🙃

[distort-opia]

Hii! Hopefully you haven't gotten this ask before but I saw your post discussing aspects of batman and joker comics you didn't like and things you'd want for them to include. You mentioned some comics that you didn't enjoy their take of Joker. What are some comics you did enjoy for how they wrote them? Any ones that stand out to you? And why are they different from the usual ones you've read? Have a nice day<3

Hello! I'm taking this to mean comics with both Batman and Joker, and that I think have especially good characterization? Because well-written Batman-centric comics are not always ones with strong Joker characterization (or even have him in them), or vice-versa. If that’s the case, I'm not listing all Batman & Joker comics that I enjoy and think are great, but I’ll instead limit myself to comics that have characterized them in ways that stood out to me, and expounding on those.

Obviously, these depict characterizations that were personally interesting, not saying there aren’t others -- I barely managed to cut it down to the following as it is. But I hope I’ve answered your questions with this (inevitably) long post, and my apologies that it took so long to answer!

⯁  Batman: The Killing Joke (1988)

Including it because it’s too essential to Bruce and Joker as characters, and because it’s massively influenced my understanding of them. Feels like a betrayal if I don’t. This is a Bruce who understands how lethal his relationship with Joker can become and tries to stop it, obsessed and desperate with understanding Joker to begin with, but failing. A Bruce who offers rehabilitation and forgiveness in such a selfish way (over Barbara’s broken body), and a Joker who almost says yes. Joker especially is at his most vulnerable and alone here, which in itself is a rare way to characterize him.

⯁ Snyder’s Batman run

Here I am including Death of the Family, Endgame, and The Batman Who Laughs especially. They all deserve full-on essays, but since they’re already well-known, I will just say that... to me, Bruce and Joker feel so tragically well-written in these comics. I cannot help including them.

To put it in very simple terms, Snyder gets it. If The Killing Joke has Batman and Joker in their beginning, Snyder writes them so well as having battled the other for decades-- at their end. You’ve got a Bruce who tries his best, but who still fails miserably on occasion and makes selfish choices; someone who constantly walks a fine line between the best version of himself and the worst. Someone who’s tired, but hasn’t got any idea how to stop. And a Joker who’s come into his own as a terrifying entity of chaos, a monster whose humanity even Bruce has lost track of, but who is also a heartbroken desperate man, scared of losing the one person he’s made into his reason for living.

It does feel like Snyder writes a tragedy, when he writes them. Irreconcilable differences in beliefs, in ways of approaching trauma, in everything -- but still they cannot disentangle themselves from the other, even as it kills them.

⯁ The Joker: Devil's Advocate (1996)

Alright, I love Joker in this one, mostly because... I mean, it’s no secret he’s smart. And that he’s not actually insane, he’s very much in control of his actions. But in this comic, Joker is so caught up in his own ego and impulsiveness, gets so enamoured with the attention he’s getting from Gotham, that he gives zero shits about clearing his name and saving himself from the electric chair -- even though he started manipulating Batman into freeing him! In other words, he’s a dumbass attention whore [affectionate] and Bruce himself has to pull the most unhinged of moves to save him. And I say Bruce is unhinged in this because he hypocritically insists on the law being the reason he’s not letting Joker die for this one crime he didn’t commit; when he’s a freaking vigilante breaking laws left and right (even Gordon remarks on it and it’s great). Hell, Barbara pretty much asks him to let Joker die, and not even Joker himself is interested in surviving! But Bruce stubbornly carries on, obsessed with solving the mystery and saving Joker’s life.

What’s more, at the end he even gloats about it to Joker, basically claiming Joker’s life as his. Unhinged and very in-character behavior and I love it all around.

(Bruce. Light of my life. The people he kills from now on are also technically on you. But clearly we’re not thinking about that.)

⯁ Batman: Going Sane (1997)

Despite the “Batman is dead so now Joker stops being homosexually obsessed! He becomes normal and gets himself a wife!” implications of this comic, which I also hate in Batman: White Knight, I have to give DeMatteis his due. This comic is so well-written and has so many parallels and implications built in, both about Batman and Joker. It deserves a full essay too, but I will try to keep it as short as I can.

Bruce is just so dramatic in this one, and it’s so entertaining. His neuroses, especially regarding Joker, are very on point as well -- the depth of his obsession, his fear of doing even the smallest Joker-like thing because it would mean he’s becoming like the murderer who took his parents. And then, his reaction to Joker ‘killing’ him is so outraged. He cannot help hunting for Joker; he’s driven to do it and resents that drive. Because just like Joker has been doing this whole time, he’s also been indulging dreams of normalcy, which could never come to be as long as Joker was out there. Bruce doesn’t really believe Joker’s assumed a new identity just to have a normal life, he’s certain Joker planted a clue. He’s so convinced Joker doesn’t ever doubt himself (the way he has), and fails entirely to see how alike they really are. Because all along, from the moment Joker thought he killed Batman, he had forged himself a new self, a new identity, and became someone boring and unassuming, someone normal and sane.

Except they don’t genuinely crave that normalcy, that’s not... the truth. For either Bruce or Joker, and that’s the point of the story, in my opinion. Joker doesn’t actually revert back to his pre-acid-fall self, now does he? He doesn’t remember the whole of his past and just revert back to his original identity, when he thinks Batman (his audience) is dead. What he does is he invents someone new to deal with it: Joseph Kerr, with his real Joker identity clawing to get back to the surface the whole time. This is Joker’s tried and true method of dealing with trauma: erasing everything and creating a new self. Killing Batman is too much, so he invents Joseph Kerr to keep going, and I find that deeply in character.

Tbh, there’s so much more to say about Joker in this comic (I’d call this a Joker story more than I’d call it a Batman-centric one), but either way -- they’re both portrayed in such intelligent, interesting ways, and I really recommend reading it if you haven’t yet.

⯁ Batman: Secrets (2007)

This is one that is less well-known, and I will be the first to admit the art style makes it a bit difficult to follow. But this comic has a very interesting plot: Joker fakes rehabilitation and tries to sell a book about it, marketing himself as a victim. He does it by framing Batman as the perpetrator, luring him somewhere where cameras are rolling and making it seem like Batman is gleefully beating the shit out of him. Then he releases those photos (via blackmailing a reporter into writing fake news), enjoying and banking on his victim status all the while.

It has such interesting Joker and Bruce characterization. Joker especially because he fakes rehabilitation for book sales and Gotham’s attention, in the process seducing the head of the parole board deciding his release (in a manner reminiscent of Harley Quinn). All along he threatens lives and schemes, with Batman having to stop him, but after Bruce captures him they have such fascinating conversation (that references TKJ many times), with Joker trying to leverage a secret out of Batman. The whole theme of the story is secrets and what they do to people, or how they can be used against them -- but especially the way a secret is only one because you define it as such. It only has power over you because you allow it. And to get Bruce to confess one of his secrets, Joker tells him that not all his rehabilitation had been faked.

It’s... I really love this, actually. It’s obvious Joker didn’t change. He’s still Joker, still callous, still killing people -- he even decided he’d murder the person he was vulnerable with the second he did it. He used his own genuine vulnerability as a tool. But the vulnerability had been real.

Except Joker’s reaction to Bruce’s secret is the point of the whole comic. Bruce tells Joker that when he was a child, he unintentionally shot an animal to death. And Joker acts entirely disbelieving and disparaging, because he doesn’t get how that’s a secret:

Bruce himself confirms in later dialogue that he knows Joker doesn’t understand, that he’s clueless and will keep being clueless about what Bruce told him. And seeing as that bird dying and Bruce being unable to save it constantly gets juxtaposed with the death of Bruce’s parents... the secret he told Joker is so massive, for him, and Joker doesn’t fucking realize (“Someone like me, someone you don’t care about,” he tells Bruce. Hah. I’m pretty sure Joker said it to make Bruce feel more at ease, manipulate him, but I also wonder if he doesn’t believe it to an extent. The layers on this bitch of a conversation alone, fucking hell). Joker cannot empathize with feeling bad about killing; he literally killed someone because she made him feel anything to begin with. This wall between them persists every step of the way; and yet... that’s the best part of the writing, I feel. They keep contradicting their own words, their own actions -- because neither of them can help reaching out, when all is said and done. Bruce asserts he doesn’t believe Joker can change anymore, but at the end of the comic he says “People can change. Maybe even you.” Joker asserts there’s nothing that can be salvaged about him, but then he tells Bruce that the emotions he expressed when repenting were real.

They have such great, well-written interactions in this comic, God. There’s much more to say about it, but I’ve already given this one way too much attention. Just... if you haven’t read this one yet, I entirely recommend it.

⯁ Detective Comics (1937) #726 -- Fool's Errand

Another classic in the realm of Batjokes. Bruce is great in this too: so angry and desperate to save someone, projecting all the people he couldn’t save onto this one new person, inevitably having to admit his own helplessness in front of Joker’s intelligence and whims... But this issue stands out to me especially because of Joker’s behavior in it. To sum it all up quickly, Batman goes to Joker’s cell in Arkham to interrogate him about a man who’d been held in a cell next to his, who kidnapped a little girl and left her to die in the trunk of a car. Batman needs to get the information on the girl’s location out of Joker in time, if he’s ever to save her.

This is all significant because it’s not just any day this happens. It’s the anniversary of Jason Todd’s death. And Joker basically tells Bruce, “After all I’ve done, you’re still not letting me die, so you either play my game or get out.” And Bruce forces himself to play Joker’s game, but... that’s exactly what ends up being the problem. He’s forcing himself, and Joker feels it, and is dissatisfied by it.

Because Joker doesn’t find the back and forth fun, he tells Batman a location. The right location. Bruce gets to save the child this time, the way he couldn’t save Jason. And when he comes back to Joker, he obviously asks why.

Sigh. I think a big part of Joker does believe that this was the reason -- that he did it so Bruce would have hope, every time he lies, every time he sends him on a wild goose chase. But Joker’s body language in this comic is so interesting, and telling. He gets so subdued towards the end, curled into himself, back turned towards Batman, and... well, I think he partly told Bruce the truth as an apology. Compensation. He sees that Batman is too affected by this day, by what’s happening to this little girl and what Joker caused him to go through in the past, to pay attention properly and play along. It all depresses him and makes it difficult for him to put on the performance of being Joker, so there’s cracks in the façade. There’s this one tiny piece of body language that haunts me:

Look at Joker in that last panel.  Bruce gets carried away by the realization (communication via Morse code) and touches the wall spontaneously, getting into Joker’s personal space without giving it any thought -- but Joker flinches away, raises his arm as if to defend himself. That’s the automatic reaction of someone expecting to get hit, someone who’s used to it. It’s... interesting, to say the least.

⯁ Batman (1937) #663 -- The Clown At Midnight

This issue is a very famous piece of Joker characterization that I absolutely love and need to include. Hell, it’s a definitive Batman comic, period. It’s more of a short story, though; it’s got illustrations, but the focus is definitely the writing. The plot is that, after someone dressed like Batman shoots Joker in the face, he’s been recovering in Arkham for a while -- and yet still killing with Harley’s help, as Batman discovers. He goes to Arkham to figure out what’s happening, which is all part of Joker’s plan. After his face got destroyed and reconstructed, Joker’s coming up with a new self, and he of course needs to test it out against Batman. Morrison’s understanding of how Joker works, him putting it into words so elegantly and in such a terrifying, visceral way...

“Maybe he is special, and not just a gruesomely scarred, mentally-ill man addicted to an endless cycle of self-annihilating violence.” God. You did it, Grant, you broke Joker down to his bare essentials! Not just what he is, but what he desperately tries and wants to be. (This is something Snyder also understood so well and leaned into in Endgame, with Joker reinventing himself as something supernaturally more -- because he cannot be just a man, not ever that.)

And Bruce, too. He’s written in an intriguing way; he’s so methodical, so hung up on logic and self-control. Joker is the abyss and Bruce stares into it unflinching, and that’s why he wins. There’s this one line that lives in my brain rent free:

“[Joker’s] insanity is like an ocean he can barely stay afloat in; Batman’s is like a searchlight.”

Haha. I’m normal about this comic, I swear. Not like one could write a whole ass thesis on it. (Grant. Drop your location I just wanna talk!! How did you manage to put the essence of these two deeply complex characters in one sentence??)

⯁ Batman: Black and White (2020) #2 -- The Spill

This is a short little story, but it’s one of my faves. While Batman is chasing Joker in the Batmobile, some kind of electromagnetic bomb goes off and he crashes near the Gotham Bridge. When he comes to, he’s in the river, clinging to the wreckage and nearly drowning. He fires a grappling hook, but then Joker makes himself known, sitting on top of the car. He grabs the end of the cable Batman fired to save himself, essentially denying him his rescue.

The whole thing feels so... scorpion and the frog, to me. If the scorpion came back to watch the frog die, but he stood there holding the cable that kept the frog afloat and bragged about letting it die. But then the spillway broke and the scorpion gets pulled into the water too because he was still holding onto the cable, and then the frog saves the scorpion because they’re connected by the cable. And because it cannot help its nature.

It seems simple, and yet. Joker coming back and claiming to only be there to watch Batman drown, but clearly risking his own life in the process, means more than what he said:

This stood out to me, because Joker keeps monologuing about how they don’t actually have some mystic connection (the opposite of what he usually spews)! He can totally just let Batman die! He’s just here to enjoy the show, what do you mean he keeps stalling and holding the other end of what’s keeping Batman alive and not dropping it for some reason? Batman needs him, he doesn’t need Batman!

I always like it when Joker genuinely tries to let Batman die, but somehow he can’t entirely let it happen; he gives Batman outs. It’s the equivalent of Bruce not being able to let Joker die, not even when it’d be caused by external and (very) justifiable circumstances. Except it’s Joker doing it, so the denial and mental gymnastics are funnier to watch.

⯁ Batman Confidential: Dead To Rights (#22-25)

Alright, this one’s a Batjokes classic too, and it’s supposed to detail the aftermath of Joker being caught for the first time. It has such a great Joker I can’t leave it off this list. He’s so charming, so funny, so graceful and yet so terrifying... aaaaa, I adore him in this. And Bruce is well-written too. He obviously blames himself for the deaths Joker is causing, and he’s so obsessed with figuring Joker out, understanding him. But even though he disguises himself as Matches Malone to get more insight on Joker, he gets spotted almost immediately. I love how so many comics have this component of Bruce’s detective mind hitting a brick wall in understanding how Joker works, and this driving him to utter obsession.

And the poor man never does get an idea. He’ll keep trying and trying to deal with Joker, but fail.

⯁ Action Comics (1938) #719

This issue is not that complex or well-written, it’s just... interesting to me. It predates the Injustice video games and comics, but has a relatively similar plot. Joker poisons Lois Lane with a designer drug, and the only way Superman can save her is to inject Joker with a toxin that will interact with Joker’s blood and create the antidote -- but it’ll kill Joker in the process.

All along, Bruce keeps protecting Joker. He sends Clark out on a wild goose chase just so he can have enough time to talk to Joker himself and investigate some more. Then, when Clark is tempted to actually kill Joker, he stops him. He keeps arguing for Clark not to lose himself, not to become like Joker, but the woman Clark loves is dying and to be honest... Bruce, honey, you don’t really have a leg to stand on here.

And yet he does it, the mad lad! He convinces Superman to just let Lois Lane die. And she almost does, but then she recovers, because...

So you could say Bruce had a big suspicion that Lois wouldn’t die anyway, but he couldn’t be sure. And yet.

Bruce and Joker’s interactions are fascinating, but beyond that -- the way Joker gambles with his own life as if it means nothing just to break someone, keeps goading Clark into killing him in front of Bruce... I find it very in character. Then there’s Bruce’s utter stubborness and refusal in letting Joker die, going as far as risking someone else’s life in the process -- which he’s done before and will do again, but this time it’s the life of Clark’s lover. He talks Clark into letting Lois die! So you know, when he doesn’t kill Joker in Injustice even after he commits literal genocide and makes Bruce’s best friend kill his wife and unborn child... it’s even less surprising, I guess.

And here we are! I hope you had fun while reading through my rambles, and thanks for your patience in waiting. If you end up reading one of these you hadn’t yet, really hope you’ll have fun <3

Fighting Together to the End - Eddie Munson x Male!Reader - Part 1

Male! Reader, he/him used, so fuck the canon, it broke my heart, MEGA FUCKING SPOILERS FOR PART TWO OF SEASON FOUR, anyways, fluff, angst, this is pretty much a rewrite of season 4 because I need to recover after the traumatizing events of part 2

Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5

CIS Women and Female Aligned people, please DNI, this story and all of my others are for non-binary, masculine aligned and male readers!

Why had it been Eddie who got caught up in all this? He isn’t a bad person, he sells some bad shit but he’s not bad. If Chrissy had just found some other seller at the school it wouldn’t have been an issue. If the town didn’t believe my boyfriend was a freak and a cult leader it would've been better. Granted I’m not in much of a better situation being his boyfriend, firstly it’s Hawkins, secondly we’re gay, need I say more.

Eddie and I hid together after Chrissy got snapped apart in the living room, honestly not surprised his supplier was out by lovers lake. If anything it’s smart, constant sales from teens passing by and it’s secluded enough to not draw attention. Getting discovered by Dustin and the rest of them wasn’t exactly fun, we both nearly killed two of them. In our defense, Steve jabbed Eddie in the face with his oar.

“So what you’re saying is that there’s an entire upside down version of Hawkins, and there’s a guy who’s controlling people mentally to kill them?” Having to process Chrissy was enough but now there’s a whole other world we have to understand and somehow get rid of????

“Yes, exactly, see? Someone understands me!” Dustin was a little too excited to be understood, which means he’s had to explain this far too much already.

“Well what the fuck are we supposed to do about it? We’re both being hunted for murder that we obviously didn’t commit.” Eddie blurted out from beside me, equally as tired of this shit as me.

“We didn’t think that far yet, we’re still trying to figure out how he’s attacking people.” Steve chimed in next, rubbing his neck after Eddie nearly stuck his switchblade into it.

“In the meantime, how about y’all get us some food, seeing as we can’t really go anywhere without getting recognized and then attacked, arrested, or killed. Hell I’ll even give you cash to cover it.” Pulling out my wallet I gave Nancy about 60 dollars for food, she seems like the most responsible to give cash.

“What are we supposed to get?” Nancy just looked at me confused.

“Anything really, nothing that needs a fridge, that’s not really an option right now.” I gestured around us at the rest of the boat house we had found ourselves in.

“Great, c’mon guys, let’s get the murderers food.” Sarcasm dripped off her words but Eddie and I still let out dry chuckles.

“Oh! And a six pack!” I looked to my left at Ed’s.

“Really, beer?” He looked almost offended.

“We need provisions, don't we? Beer is a liquid, and we need water to survive.” A deadpan replaced my previously confused expression.

“That’s not the same thing dumbass.” I lightly smacked the back of his head and he let out a small whine in response.

“What should we do while we wait for them to bring back stuff?” Eddie laid back against the walls behind him, looking up at me through hooded eyes.

“Um, wanna take a nap?” I shrugged my shoulders not really sure what to do without the usual stuff we had at his trailer or my house.

“What a fantastic idea my love, now get down here with me!” Grabbing my shoulders he dragged me down against the floor of the boat house to cuddle.

“Ya know I could’ve laid down on my own babe.” A smile spread across his face that I couldn’t even think about being mad about.

“I’m sure you could’ve, but that was more fun. Now, we sleep!” Giggling at his antics I wrapped my arms around his middle and quickly pressing a kiss to his lips before letting the sweet grasp of sleep wash over me. It was only a few hours later that we were rudely awakened by Dustin screaming.

“We have your food, stop being cutesy, it's gross!“ If it wasn’t Dustin yelling at me I would’ve kicked him in the shin and let him fall to the floor.

“Henderson, you're walking a fine line right now.” I only opened one eye to look up at him, but he got the message and took a few steps back.

“What all did you get?” Eddie groaned out sitting up from where he was laying in my arms.

“Um, the six pack, honeycomb, spaghetti-o’s, pasta, some random fruit Nancy picked up, uhh and some other stuff I think.” Steve started going through what he remembers from the shopping trip.

“Eddie, you're not drinking this early, it’s only 3:30.” Looking down at my watch to confirm the time before looking back up at him.

“It’s 5 o’clock somewhere babe, c’mon it’s been a rough couple of days, just this once?” Damn him and those beautiful brown eyes, as soon as he looks at me with a smile I can’t say no.

“Fine, just this once.” Sitting up I rubbed my eyes before looking at everyone again.

“So while you guys were gone, did you come up with anything? Like ya know, a plan maybe?” At this point I just wanted to go back to before everything happened, I just wanted my normal back.

“Well, this would be so much easier if we still had El and she still had her powers.” Steve mentioned this girl again, apparently she’s some super hero with magic.

“Okay this is like the third time you’ve mentioned this kid, who is she?” I still looked tired as shit but I couldn’t give two fucks anymore.

“Oh, Eleven is this crazy cool kid with like telekinesis, she can like invade people's minds, and she helped us deal with the last few times we’ve had issues.” Dustin tried explaining again, but somehow made it harder to understand, especially for someone who got woken up only a few minutes ago.

“Well I’m still lost, but we don’t have this magic kid, so what are we gonna do now?” Eddie said back to Dustin trying to wake up enough to open his beer.

“Still haven’t gotten that far yet, but if we can get into the upside down and kill Vecna it should solve the problem. Only issue is we don’t have a gate, we don’t know where Vecna is, or when or who he’s gonna go for next.” Dustin chimed in again to explain what we needed to do.

This was gonna be one hell of a shit show, I just know it.

jay talks about characters meme / accepting / @take-ya-to-the-ghey-bar

🗣 + Kurama, since i wanted to send smth-- but keeping in within muse fandom seemed like the best bet lol

Lol that’s pretty fair considering you don’t know how I roll. I’ve seen dbz, naruto, fma, fairy tail, ygo, inuyasha, demon slayer to name a few and played a widespread of rpgs too XD

Either way ya wanna know what I think about Kurama. My boy Kurama is the definition of ‘if looks could kill’. To be honest he was the first choice for me to portray but that fox is not just clever but he’s freaking smart and I don’t think my dumbass would do him any justice. Granted I wouldn’t have to even try to write as him now cause there’s someone that already does a phenomenal job (always here to compliment the homies). Either way Kurama’s introduction was that of a momma’s boy and I do mean that in a positive light. From what little we knew about him at the start is that Koenma considered him a big deal and he was MORE than willing to sacrifice his life for his mother.

From then on I’d say Kurama had been a sort of ‘mother’ to the group, the person that they can go to if they needed sage advice. I love that he was such a bro to Kuwabara too, the man was an excellent leader. Why I thought so? Well as far as we knew he was a demon that ran into a woman’s womb and turning his mother into a japanese virgin mary. Also given that Hiei mentioned (in the anime) that the reason he looked for Kurama was so he doesn’t have to fight him himself gave us an idea that this man could box and YET he was training a human. Where Hiei gave blunt criticism Kurama offered encouraging positivity. 

You know me, I like that. Ate that up. Let’s not forget the fact that this man is also a ride and die type of person for his homies, man was willing to fight one of the Three Kings all FOR YUSUKE. You know what it’s like to go into a man’s house, go into his fridge, take his drinks and then say ‘bruh if you so as much as breath on this man, you better upheave them hands’. NAH MAN, Kurama is also my GOAT.

NOW let’s mention the brilliance that is the duality of Shuichi and Kurama. LORD watching up to the dark tournament we’ve only heard stories of the legendary bandit and during that one fight WE GOT TO SEE the legendary bandit. Not just aesthetically but on a personal level too. I’m not gonna say Shuichi is a punk because push comes to shove the man will KILL you. But KURAMA!?!?!? HOOOOOOOOO, the shit YOKO KURAMA does really lets you know that he was the one. We let Yoko cook and find out that the enemies were the ingredients. Do we need to remember WHAT he did to the older Toguro?? NAH man, this man is a demon.

𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒄𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒏𝒔

・His signature show of affection is running the back of his pointer finger down the slop of your nose. 

・Of course you share a cabin on the Black Pearl (when you ... have the Black Pearl). You like to decorate it, and Jack has just learnt to let you

・Whenever you get hurt, that’s the only time you’ll see Jack serious. He will literally tear the world apart just to find you. So when you’ve got a wound, he’ll go crazy on the person who did it

・Calls you ‘love’, ‘pet’, ‘twinkle toes,’ ‘pretty eyes’. He loves making things up on the spot

Your loyalty, fun-loving attitude and love for freedom. He needs someone who understands his love for not only sailing, but piracy. It’s freedom, but also ... taking your life into your own hands. 

𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒃𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒇𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒅

Would be Gibbs, Ragetti and Pintel. Gibs would be great at understanding you, even when you don’t fully understand yourself. Ragetti and Pintel would be so entertaining that you’d like hanging out with them, even if they were your enemies at one point in time. 

𝑾𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒉 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒚𝒐𝒖'𝒓𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆

To me you seem like a mix of Jack, Ragetti and Elizabeth. You have this chaotic, enthusiastic and curious energy about you. I love it! You’re seem so fun, but a tad unsure of yourself. Don’t ever feel like you’re too much for someone, you’re amazing!

𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒑𝒆𝒕

In this universe fantasy and fiction collide. Although the animals cannot talk, there are fantasy creatures that lie in this world. So your pet is a dolphin (an already incredibly smart creature) who will somehow find you no matter where you are. It’s incredible actually, and it utterly freaks Jack out.

𝑰 𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝑵𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒐𝒓! I just think you two would have such chaotic energy - but like ... manic behaviour? You would be so fun together, and poor Guillermo, running after you two. At least you don’t make as much of a mess as Nandor. 

𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒄𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒏𝒔

・Nandor is constantly humming or saying things underneath his breath, Sometimes you have no idea how he’s survived for so long because there is not an ounce of self preservation in him

・Going along with each other’s crazy ideas - Guillermo is the voice of reason, so you can be as insane as you want

・Nandor would buy you incredibly expensive jewellery, and find (more like make Guillermo find) first editions of your favourite books. He would literally make a library for you filled with every book there is (Guillermo ... builds the library)

・Loves your brain and is constantly asking you questions. He wants your opinion on everything; something that he hasn’t experienced with other lovers

You let Nandor be ... Nandor. You don’t try to change him, to make him ‘better’. You’re happy being yourself with him. But also, you do make him a tad more self-aware (because he listens to you and only you). 

𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒃𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒇𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒅

Nadja, she would do wonders for your confidence. But also indulge in your fantasies and chaos. Not once judging you for your choices. She would support you in anything as well. 

𝑾𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒉 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒚𝒐𝒖'𝒓𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆

A mix between Jenna and Nandor; able to have fun, but also still learning about the world and what it has to offer. You’re, I guess, learning your place in the world. 

𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒑𝒆𝒕

I just imagine you having pets that are so vicious and possessive of you but you’re kinda like a ray of sunshine? Like I can imagine someone coming to your house with Nandor, thinking they’re going to meet this absolutely terrifying vampire, and who has these goddamn hellhounds for pets. But then they meet you and you’re so ... full of life???

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐆𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬

𝑫𝒆𝒔𝒄𝒓𝒊𝒑𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏

𝑰 𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝑱𝒐𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒏𝒂 𝑴𝒂𝒔𝒐𝒏! She’s chaotic by nature, but also self-aware and very intelligent. I think she would hate you at first - or pretend to hate you. Your cheerful and energetic attitude would ‘annoy’ her. But you would grow on her, not even meaning to. 

𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒄𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒏𝒔

・Will only share her inner feelings with you. Everyone sees this once angry woman, who was traumatised and tortured by the Capitol. But you see what’s underneath all that. 

・From enemies, to friends, to lovers. She found a safe place with you. 

・Her pet name for you is your last name. She used to say it in a mocking tone, but now she says it with love and affection in her tone. 

・Her love language is quality time and acts of service. She’s a bit hesitant with the whole physical touch thing - until she felt safe with you. Then she kisses you everyday and loves to cuddle (she loves being the little spoon but don’t tell anyone)

・Moving in together was a big step in your relationship; one that no one really saw coming. You live in a house that is nothing like the Capitol; it’s more of a cottage. One that is close enough to civilisation but far enough that you don’t have neighbours

Your excitement and hope for life. You might not think it, but you bring so much to Johanna’s life. She feels so ... wrong inside, but somehow you’re able to help her fix the puzzle inside her. 

𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒃𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒇𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒅

Finnick; he would absolutely love your energy. Your honesty, how forthright you are. He would seek you out when he’s having a hard day, just sitting with you and Johanna. Of course, she would make a snarky remark but you would always counteract it with something positive. 

𝑾𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒉 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒚𝒐𝒖'𝒓𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆

A mix between Finnick, Haymitch and Effie. You have this effervescent energy. So lively and at times, lawless. I see you as a person who doesn’t like rules (or the ‘rules’ that neurotypicals have created). You’re unique, joyful and ... so alive. 

𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒑𝒆𝒕

You found him one afternoon on your walks with Johanna (she hated going outside, but you made her everyday). It was on the start of her healing journey, and then you found a stray. This starving mutt who came to you so humbly. You couldn’t deny him. But ... him was actually a her, and she had a litter of pups that she showed you the next day. (You seem like the type of person who animals feel safe with).

This is so frustrating! We reset because sans might have hated and killed Y/N, but even if he doesn't want to kill us he hates us now and is suspicious! We have to find some way to make him like us! I wish we never freed that demon, we should have just done whatever he said from start.

Okay damn that sounded desperate I think I might have gotten Stockholm syndrome from being kidnapped-

you want to make him like you you say?

a familiar voice echoed through your mind... merging with your strange feelings.

"I feel the same. though I have yet to win him over." they giggle, as they tilt their head.

"of course he wouldn't love you you ... you" your throat tightens.

"I... what? took away his freedom and choice? forced him into a corner for my selfish benifit? sounds like what he did to you and yet you LIKE it. don't you? you little freak hehehehe you're like me aren't youuuu? you LIKE HIM TOO DON'T YOU?"

their eyes glistened in the shadows their form flickering in and out of existence.

"what...? Not like that! that's not love. we're NOT the same. stop comparing your sick obsession to..."

"to? what? fairytales or romance? or is it the THRILL? or guilt and pity? there's something wrong with you buddy. I knew you had a loose screw too. you're like me. he USED you silly~ did you actually think he loved you because you're that special someone?"

you shake your head. it was just them playing with your head. you weren't like them... were you? of course not. you wouldn't lie, manipulate or... would he kill you if you told him the truth? maybe it wasn't too late... you wouldn't just use this power for evil.

if they thought they could corrupt you with this then they had another thing coming. you wouldn't let them.

you were going to stop this demon and... maybe help him.

"oh... how cliche and predictable. wow playing the hero are we? okay I'm picking up on what you're going for! I tried the same too but he saw through it when I split myself from frisk... hehehe he's smart. don't assume you'll be granted mercy if you play nice or he'll kill you if you're compliant. think outside of the box. he won't fall for it if you're TOO nice. just conveniently TOO PERFECT and kind."

you ignored their words.

"he likes ketchup.... reading... hes pretty quiet and distrustful." they suddenly spoke again, listing more information that felt personal. how long had they known each other?

"he also loves to plan ahead to a ridiculous extent." they rolled they're eyes.

"I don't need your help I'll figure this out on my own." you glare at them.

"I'm sure you will." they disappeared from your sight leaving you alone with no direction or guide.

GOOD.

you make your way around going about your day, they way you'd normally do... ignoring the HEAVY lingering sense of dejavu.

same faces same voices same vague conversations as you bypassed an exact copy of a moth long forgotten...

/keep it together. you got this./ you tell yourself taking a deep breath.

he hadn't made any moves to show himself to you yet... how could you make things better?

the question remained...

why DID you feel for him? was it guilt for releasing his enemy? or betraying his trust? was it even a betrayal if he never intended to get you involved in the first place?

it was too convenient.... why you? was it REALLY just for this demon?

...

it was fine. you just had to return him this demon and then he'd... /he'd kill you anyway dumbass/

"stop... he won't. "

/you don't know him like I do. he'll still kill you even if you're on his side./

"then why did he let me leave?"

/cuz you weren't worth the attention. he's dangerous and even if you win his favor... who's to say he won't just add you to a part of his exp as a sentiment to keep your sacrifice on him? he's unpredictable. if you want to keep yourself alive you'll have to be smart./

he...

/he's killed everyone. all his friends family and loved ones. what makes you think YOU'RE so special to him? people have tried saving him. old friends... his brother, even colleagues. all dead. betrayed. do you REALLY feel confident your love is stronger than those bonds? main character syndrome much?/

...

*your will wavers.

Nooooo! What have you done!!!???

I was the anon that asked about the Claire taking Leon's virginity thing and I know you said that you didn't think Leon would catch feelings and stuff... BUT IT WAS ME THAT CAUGHT FEELINGS APPARENTLY!

I've loved Leon and Claire since dark side chronicles but I always saw them as besties. I was never hostile to cleon shippers but I was pretty dismissive like "c'mon guys they're just friends. Yeesh you people will just ship him with anyone huh?"

But after seeing you mention the virginity thing and then seeing your answer to my ask...

SOMETHING FREAKING CLICKED!

I went back and watched that fence scene in 2make and... yeah.

I get it now.

And I'm so mad.

And now I have to awkwardly stroll on over to the cleon corner and be all like "heyyy guys... sorry about everything. Gunna look at some fanart now..."

Ugh...

Luckily I still get the warm fuzzies when I watch Leon and Ashley edits.

Unfortunately I feel the same with Leon and Claire ones now.

SO THANKS I GUESS!

In all seriousness thank you for answering my ask so thoroughly. I know you didn't intend for this to happen but atleast i have more content to enjoy?

That fucking fence scene.

I literally had no interest in them together until that fucking fence scene. Like you, I wasn't hostile towards the ship, either -- I just didn't give a shit. I was basically the neutral alien guy from Futurama like "I have no strong feelings one way or the other."

But then RE2make happened.

Twenty years. Twenty fucking years of not giving a shit about this ship, and I'm made a fool by a fucking FENCE, bro?? A FENCE??? ARE YOU KIDDING ME WITH THIS SHIT

To be fair, I still mostly see them as besties. Claire is the person Leon calls whenever he's smart enough to realize he needs a woman's viewpoint on something. Like, once he finally takes his dumbass goggles off and can see the reality of his feelings for Ashley, he calls Claire and is like "I'm about to do a thing, I think. I need you to tell me if this is the worst idea in the world or not."

So, for me, it's mostly like...

I think both Claire and Leon realize that if they had met under literally any other circumstance, they would've probably fucking hated each other -- because they absolutely would have. But the fact remains that they did meet in Raccoon City, and that's something that they'll always share between them. Regardless of anything else, they were there for each other in the immediate aftermath of that shit, when the dust was starting to settle and the real world was starting to look really fucking scary and intimidating all of a sudden.

Maybe they hooked up one or two more times at some nebulous point pre-RE4make after Leon spent some time with his Army buddies, just so that he could be like HEY CLAIRE LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT I CAN DO NOW because he's Leon and he's Like That.

But I think that, by the time of RE4make proper, that whole thing is done with. They've both fully gotten it out of their system and have no desire to go back to it again.

Because, like. I don't know if Remake canon is going to keep this particular detail, but until the Remake story actually changes this, Leon is close enough to Chris by the time of RE4 that he literally shows him US government documents with the highest classification possible (aka his report on the Los Illuminados) -- which is so outrageously fucking illegal and could actually get him fucking killed -- and for him to be that close to Chris tells me he's not banging Claire anymore and hasn't in quite some time.

And I don't think he wants to anymore, either. I really don't. because he'd rather just wallow in his own misery instead but AAYYYYY that's for a different post, probably. And I really think that Claire has absolutely no fucking interest anymore at all, too. Like, even if Leon had a moment of weakness and called her up and was like "hey, uh..." she'd turn him down.

Because the whole... depressed and cynical and constantly angry thing that Leon has going on now? Not attractive. Not to her. She has enough of her own bullshit to deal with; she doesn't need to start carrying Leon's baggage, too.

← previous ; next →

You stepped outside, wincing as your knee buckled a little bit. You focused your weight on your cane as you made your way to Dabi, leaning against the wall next to him and propping your cane next to them.

“Hey, pretty boy. You alright?” You closed your eyes, frowning. “You left in a bit of a hurry there.”

“Yeah, sorry.” You raised an eyebrow at his apology, opening your eyes. Dabi rarely apologised.

“Don’t worry about it.” You smiled at him in an attempt to settle his nerves. You didn’t like his pinched eyebrows and downturned mouth—though you never liked when Dabi was upset in the first place. “You wanna… talk about it?” You offered awkwardly. Touchy-feely stuff wasn’t either of your fortes.

Dabi laughed coldly. “You know that’s not how I work, doll.” He then shook his head with a frustrated groan, running a hand through his hair. “Shit. That’s not what I meant to say.”

You snorted. “Take your time, pretty boy. Neither of us are very good at the whole feelings thing.”

“I’ll fuckin’ say,” Dabi said, slightly amused. He sighed, knocking his head back against the wall. You could tell he was reluctant to talk, so you took the initiative.

“Is it about what the kid said?” You prompted. Based on the way Dabi stiffened, you assumed you were right. “Listen, you know I hate beating around the bush, so I’m gonna just say it.” You turned your gaze away from him, choosing to watch the sunset instead. “I do like you. A lot, actually—hell, maybe Toga was right and it is love.” You laughed, a little bitter, a little sad. “I’m okay with just being fri—” “If you finish that sentence, I’ll hit you with your cane,” Dabi snapped, though his voice lacked any real heat. “Y’know, as smart as you are, you are painfully oblivious.” He shifted and flicked your forehead. “I like you too, dumbass.”

“Nevermind, I take it all back. I hate you. I hope a bird shits on your head,” you grumbled, crossing your arms. “Asshole.”

“Sorry, doll. Doesn’t work like that.” Dabi grinned wickedly. “You should know by now that you’re stuck with me. I’m very possessive with the things I like, and I really like you.”

“Yeah, yeah, you freak. Luckily for you, I don’t mind that you’re stupidly possessive. Fuckin’ weirdo,” you said teasingly. “So… what now? We’re a couple or whatever?”

“Guess so. I’m not super well-versed in the whole relationship thing.” He shrugged. 

“Neither am I,” you laughed quietly. “...we should probably go back inside and make sure Nugget is still on the chair. And that the kid hasn’t mauled Boo,” you thought about that for a moment, then added, “or vice-versa.”

“Good idea, doll.” Dabi straightened, then made a face. “I saw your knee was bugging you. D’you want help getting inside?”

“Gross, why are you being sweet. Disgusting. Get that shit outta here.” You stuck your tongue out. “Nah though, I’ll be fine.” 

He rolled his eyes at your antics, pushing the door open and heading inside. You followed behind, closing the door behind you. Boo had her head in Toga’s lap, allowing the girl to continue petting her. Nugget had surprisingly remained in the chair Dabi previously occupied, his tail flicking unhappily. 

Toga looked up and smiled that same, slightly unnerving smile. “I told you I was right! Do you think I’ll fall in love like you someday?” Her voice took on a dreamy tone. 

“Quiet, you little psycho,” Dabi said sharply, glaring at her. You smacked him on the shoulder.

“Play nice, pretty boy,” you hissed. “She’s just a kid.”

“A crazy one,” he shot back. “When d’you think Giran will be back? I’ve got shit I wanna ask for before we go.”

“Patience is a virtue, Dabi.” 

“Rich coming from you, mouse. You’re one of the most impatient people I know,” Dabi drawled, grinning. Not even five minutes later, Giran walked through the door with a notepad in hand.

“Alright! Request away.” He waved the notepad around.

Dabi muttered out a finally and rattled off a list of things he wanted, which was mostly clothing and his villain outfit. You requested the same stuff, as well as stuff for Boo and Nugget—a litterbox and litter, chew toys, food and the like. 

Toga’s list was knives and syringes. Nobody was surprised.

After Giran jotted down their stuff, you and Dabi decided to head back to the apartment complex to grab whatever you both had left behind. Toga surprised you with a tight hug before you left, saying she was super excited to see both of you again.

You limped alongside Dabi, putting most of your weight onto your cane. You squinted in the darkness. “I hate walking in the dark. Everything looks different. ‘s hard to tell where we’re even going.”

“Get a better sense of direction,” Dabi teased with a grin. You opened your mouth to respond, but you were cut off by Boo tugging hard on the leash upon seeing a raccoon. You yelped and stumbled forward—Dabi had to grab you by the arm to keep you from falling over. “Careful, doll.”

“Okay, that was not my fault. Blame Boo for that,” you grumbled. “Ah, my fuckin’ knee hurts worse now.” The last part was mumbled under your breath, not wanting Dabi to hear you say it. Unfortunately, he stopped walking.

“Alright, give me the leash and hop on my back. I’m carrying you back.” His tone left no room for argument, though you gave it a shot anyways.

“I can walk back fi—”

“Nope. Either you get on my back or I carry you. We both know what the better option is.” 

You mumbled childishly under your breath, handing off Boo’s leash to Dabi and climbing onto his back. He tucked your cane under his arm and adjusted his hold on Nugget so he could keep you stable while keeping Nugget in place. “Not a word, pretty boy. Not a damn word.”

“My lips are sealed.” 

You both knew that he’d bring it up again eventually. Asshole.

The Hideout Mascot - Eddie Munson x Reader

Pairing: Eddie Munson x fem!Reader

Word count: 2303

Summary: The Hideout Mascot meets The Freak. Some misunderstanding ensues.

Warnings: It's a pretty stupid idea I had but it was fun to write, so enjoy :3 Eddie might be a little dumbass in this one but he is adorable so we don't mind at all. I apologize in advance for all grammar mistakes that you will probably find here (most likely will find here).

The Hideout for most of the Hawkins was a dirty old bar, full of suspicious people and the outsiders. For you it was a second home, even the first without drunk and screaming father and apathetic mother. Your older brother was here a bartender and since you were ten you were spending there every possible afternoon and evening. Doing your schoolwork here was much easier anyway – apart from a fight once or twice the regulars were pretty chill and adored your presence here. You were their cute mascot and you were secretly proud of that title.

The trouble in paradise started however when Eddie Munson and his band started to play here. It’s not like you had something against him – far the opposite you thought he was a cute dork with his little antics and dramatic reactions. You just didn’t want any trouble – at school you were the quiet one sitting with the other study-oriented people, here you were sometimes arm wrestling with guys and once or twice danced with your brother on one of the tables. You loved that you could show your other self without consequences. The sudden presence of Eddie was a threat – he didn't seem like a type to judge people but even a little slip of tongue from him would ultimately ruin your life at school. You would be labelled “freak” and the last year of school would turn into an absolute nightmare.

You decided the only possible option was to not come to Hideout on Tuesdays when he was playing. You started to just sit at the school library till it was closing and then either going around town or hiding in your room. Your brother figured you out immediately but didn’t say a word like always. The regulars were more curious about your sudden disappearance every Tuesday. You made some excuses with other but there was the one guy that you couldn’t just shrug off with a weak-ass excuse.

Wayne Munson. The nicest man you have ever know and the uncle of Eddie. You wished your father was at least half the man Wayne was. He never raised his voice since you know him and never hit anyone – even drunk. He maybe didn’t finish some fancy college like your father but he had a lifetime of knowledge that he wanted to share with you if you wanted him to.

The problem was that he was insisting on you meeting his nephew. He was always telling you about Eddie, how good of a boy he was, how smart he was but just easily distracted and how cute you two would look together. His constant nagging was even worse than aunt’s Prudence.

It’s not like the way he talked about him didn’t make your heart melt. Or that you didn’t catch yourself daydreaming about dating him during lunch, when he was having his dramatic speeches. But as tempting as it sounded you had little to no chances of being with him. You didn’t have anything in common. He was the absolute metalhead, your favourite song was Love Shack. You were scared that his first reaction to the idea of you two dating would be the absolute disgust.

This Tuesday though, was an absolute nightmare and you dreamed about relaxing at Hideout. You calculated your chances of getting spotted in crowd and decided to go. You were sure you could hide in the corner; Eddie’s gaze would be too busy with watching loud drunks and you could have a calm evening without catching his attention.

Oh boy, were you wrong. Your hopes and plans quickly died when you saw how empty the place was tonight. You sighed in defeat and sat by the bar, your brother already preparing some hot chocolate for your hurting soul. ‘Maybe he will pay no mind to some basic-looking girl sitting by the bar.’

You heard his loud voice even before he entered the scene from backstage. You froze in place, slowly drinking your cocoa and not daring to move your body.

When you heard a loud thud! You quickly turned around without thinking to check the noise. The stand for microphone fell from stage and Eddie was picking it up. Your eyes met and you cursed, turning around instantly.

“Maybe he won’t come.” you were whispering it to your drink like a spell.

“He IS coming to you~” your brother sing-along and ran to the backroom. Bastard.

“Well, well, well” you felt a warm arm embracing you and wished you could die here and there. “I thought my eyes deceived me, because there was no way the Y/N would come to the Hideout of all places. Tell the truth, you wanted to hear me play, huh?” you were both shocked and irritated at the same time. Fuck your school status – you won’t let that smirk of his live on his face.

“Don’t flatter yourself Munson.” you shook his arm off yourself. “I come here every day.” well, almost every day.

“Is that so? I didn’t know they let underage kids here.” he sat next to you and looked at your drink. “Is that hot chocolate?”

“Yes, and it’s mine.” you moved it out of his reach. “I have special privileges here, that you could only dream of.” you were enjoying yourself seeing how his gaze was fixated on you.

“Oh really? And why would you be privileged at Hideout?” he rested his chin on his hand, his eyes staring deeply into yours. You turned to your drink, taking a sip to hide your blush.

“For starters I am much more well-behaved than you.” Eddie gasped and made some overdramatic pose, pretending to be shot through the heart.

“You hurt my poor soul, my lady!” you couldn’t help but giggle at his theatrics. He grinned. “But that couldn’t be the only reason. Gareth is well-behaved and the bartender at least 5 times chased him out with a broom before he turned 18.” you giggled quietly, remembering it in your head. “So, tell me." He leaned closer conspiratorially and lowered his voice to a whisper. “What’s your real secret?”

“Well,” you also leaned closer to him, absolutely enjoying every second of his attention “let’s just say that bartender and I know each other VERY well.” you giggled pulling away from him. Before you knew it his happy face fell down within seconds.

“Oh... I see. I won’t be disturbing you then, don’t want him to get mad.” you blinked surprised and before you could even respond, he hurried back on stage. Your brother magically appeared back behind the bar the second Eddie walked away.

“So~?” he leaned against the counter with a devilish grin. “How did it go?” he wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.

“UGH, you are so disgusting!” you shoved him with your arm and sighed, straightening on your sit. “I don’t know to be honest. It was fine until I mentioned you. His face immediately dropped and he hurried back.” you shrugged, pretending to don’t care at all.

“And what did my charming and tactful little sis tell him exactly, huh?” he tried to embrace you but you quickly moved away from the bar with cup in hand.

“Wouldn’t you like to know, weather boy.” you sticked out your tongue and turned your back on him.

“Hey, where are you going?”

“Far from your noisy ass.” you sat at one of the tables.

****

During the band’s gig you notices that Eddie was absolutely avoiding your gaze. Every time you look at him he was quick to look at the other end of the room. You weren’t sure why exactly it bothered you – it’s not like you were friends or something but it still felt wrong in some way.

When your brother brought you some snacks and kissed your forehead like he always does, you spotted with the corner of your eye that Eddie clenched his fist.

Maybe you weren’t the sharpest tool in the box but that small reaction and your conversation earlier finally lighted a bulb in your head.

“Of course... Oh man” you tried not to laugh, the sudden realization being both horrifying and totally hilarious. “I need to talk with that idiot.” You shook your head in disbelief.

****

You stayed at the bar way past your usual time, waiting for the band to start packing their stuff. As they started to wrap things up, you quickly grabbed your bag and waved to your brother before heading out.

Even with the full parking lot you could spot Eddie’s van. And Hideout's lot was never full. So you stood next to his van, waiting for him.

After 10 minutes or so, he got out from the back exit. He immediately spotted you or so you assumed because he made a face and came to his van.

“Good show Munson.” You spoke when he was within the hearing distance. He smiled but it didn’t last long.

“Thanks.” He packed his guitar. You were still standing near, swaying from one foot to another and he glanced back at you. “You wanted something?” he looked puzzled. What could you possibly want from him?

“Actually, yes.” You straightened up and shifted a bit closer to him. “I wanted to clear a thing or two about our little chat before your gig.”

“You don’t have to, really. I've got it.” He smiled weirdly and tried to move past you, but you were having none of it.

“I think you don’t. I think that you assumed that the bartender and I are a thing.” You made a disgusted face, even the idea making you want to puke.

“Yeah, so?” he raised his eyebrow completely not understanding your reaction.

“So, we are not.” He opened his mouth agape looking like a goldfish.

“But, but I saw you laughing with him and he kissed your forehead and brought you snacks! And you were the one who said you know him 'VERY wel'l. What else could he be!?” he couldn’t understand why the idea of you dating someone was so unnerving for him that he was absolutely fuming... Wait, he knew exactly why but would never ever admit it.

“How does a big brother sound to you?” you leaned closer with a grin, watching with amusement as the cogs in his head slowly moved and the light switched on behind his eyes.

“The brother!? Thank God! Jeez, no wonder you looked so disgusted. I am such an idiot, you two are totally looking like siblings...” he was rambling both embarrassed and relieved. “ Wait a minute. If he is your brother... And you are his sister... Does that mean you are the bartender's sister?” you nodded, not wanting to laugh at his somehow weird conclusion. “So it’s you!” he jumped in place and you tilted your head in utter confusion.

“Now I don’t get it.”

“You know, you!” you raised your eyebrow. “I mean you are the Hideout's mascot! The little sister of the bartender! Not so little though, from the way Wayne was talking about you, I assumed you were at most ten.” You laughed and blushed simultaneously.

“Mr Munson talks about me? With you?”

“Constantly! Like, every time we get to chat he goes ‘oh she is so sweet and nice' or ‘you could use a girl like her' and ‘you would look adorable together’. I was scared that he wanted to make me a babysitter or something but turns out he tried to hook me up with you.” He laughed and you turned red like a tomato, Eddie right after you. “Shit, sorry, er, I didn’t mean it like hook up hook up but more like dating hook up, no that’s also wrong...” his speech was getting more and more incoherent, the more he tried to apologize and explain. You were afraid he might suffocate from the way his face was changing color to even redder.” ... I mean it’s not like I don’t want to hook you up... No, sorry to date hook you... No that sounds even worseee... “ he was so caught up in his attempts to embarrass himself more that he didn’t realize you closed the distance between you both and stood on your toes to reach his face. He only shut up when he felt your soft lips against his own.

He froze in place, his hands that were waving around the whole time now stuck mid-air. He slowly closed his eyes, melting into the kiss, his brain shutting off completely.

You were first go move a few steps back and he almost fell from the sudden lack of your body close to him.

“Breathe Munson. You forgot to breath.” You were embarrassed by your rapid action but at the same time so happy you could fly.

“Well... Uh... I...” he finally gained back his composure. “I think that was a good argument on why I should sometimes shut up. Yeah.” He was beaming, his face grinning from ear to ear. “I want again.” He made grabby hands towards you and you laughed.

“Ask me on that hook of the date you mentioned first.” He covered his face with his hair chuckling, totally embarrassed.

“I sounded like a lunatic, didn’t i?” he only uncovered his eyes to look at you.

“A little bit, but it was adorable.” You giggled. “Can you give me a ride?”

“Ride? What ride?” you laughed once more, his brain was still in shambles.

“A ride home. We can discuss the date during it.”

“Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely please do so!” he run to his passenger seat, almost falling in the process, to open the door for you. “I hope you don’t mind some take out, the only thing I can cook is a little burned spaghetti from the can” he grinned at you before helping you get inside.

The Gallavich Disney Saga

Not done, but here are some Disney World bits from part 3 of my fic Soft Bitch. Thank you to all my lovelies who helped with the ideas. Almost every bit was used, or will be used. :)

Some notes: Franny goes by Finn. Idk what the fuck happened to Lip and Tami's other kid. Carl is chaos.

--

It takes a quick minute, but with Finn’s hair tied back into the usual ponytail, she beams, putting on a matching Hawaiian shirt, just like Mickey’s.

Ian comes out of the shower, q-tip in his ear. “God, there’s two of them.” He’s joking, but it still makes him laugh. Finn had insisted on wearing a matching one with Mickey, and Ian swears if she were to ever dye her hair black, she’d be a mini-Mick. Not so much in looks, but in personality.

“We’re here to wreck things up,” Finn says, grinning. She knows not to swear around the twins, especially with Ally being pretty repetitive. Around Ian and Mickey, she’s allowed, but not as much as they do.

--

Carl comes back from the bathrooms, staring straight at Finn and Mickey. “Shit,” he says, turning to Ian. “Aren’t gays supposed to be good at fashion and shit?”

Lip snorts, hiding his smirk.

“That’s a stereotype, Asshole,” Mickey snips. “Like cops supposedly being smart.”

--

“My waffles,” Finn says, rather dramatically. “You’re freaking them out by being gross.”

--

“Good job, Kid.”  He plops the hat on Ally’s head. He looks down at Monnie and over at Ian. “If I’m getting a hat, so are you.”

“We should get matching ones,” Ian tells Mickey.

Mickey snorts. “That’s the gayest thing I’ve ever heard.”

“C’mon, Mick.”

“None of that girly shit.”

“Okay.”

“I pick ‘em out.”

“Okay,” Ian agrees.

...

“So now I’ve got two of these hats,” Mickey says, scowling. “And a dumbass husband.”

“Look at the festive family!” Tami says, finding Ian and Mickey in the shop. “You’ve got matching ones? I’m trying to get Lip to just get one.”

“So you’re that couple now,” Lip deadpans.

“I like my husband.”

“I think they were always that couple,” Liam adds.

--

“Hey Little Man, you look cool.” He holds his fist out to Ally who just blinks in confusion. “Think I’m going to get Toy Story so I can tell people I got a woody and that there’s a snake in my boot.”

Liam puts that hat back. “That’s one childhood movie that has now been ruined. “

--

“Can we get Uncle Lip a princess hat?” Finn smirks.

“Hell yeah we can.” Tami smirks.

“Uncle Lip’s my favorite princess,” Finn says, grinning at Mickey.

--

Out of what felt like nowhere, Carl emerges with Liam. Liam shakes his head. “I think driving with Carl is a deathwish.”

“Shit,” Mickeys says, adjusting his hat. “I think Finn’s got a knack for runaway cars.”

Lip gets out of line and shakes his head. “Drive with Fred. Won’t go above what, two miles?”

“Okay,” Ian says. He’s smirking. “C’mon, Lip,” Ian says, dragging his brother’s hand. “We’re going to go on the teacups until we puke.”

“Ian, are you fucking serious?”

“You promised.”

“I—“ Lip then starts laughing. “That fucking promise I made when I was what, seven? Eight?”

“So you do remember.”

--

Ian does not throw up, but Lip almost does. Laughing, Ian gives his brother a light nudge. “Worth it.”

Lip’s eyes soften just a bit. “Okay, yeah. It wasn’t as shit as I thought.” But in reality, seeing his little brother laugh like that was something Lip hadn’t seen in what felt like years. It probably was years, looking back on everything. Back before girls, and boys, and when they were LipandIan. Lip stands up on his toes to kiss his brother’s forehead.

--

“I’m gonna sit with my husband, is that okay?” Ian asks, and Finn sighs.

“If you kiss, you’ll scare away everybody.”

--

“Ten outta ten, would bang Snow White,” Carl says, when they get out the cart.

-

That's all the previews for now!
