I know oda just choose birthday by names but thinking about cross guild and the moment buggy hears mihawks birthday date and it hits him what day it is. He could ignore this damned day and now he meets a reminders its existence.
I don’t think mihawk would celebrate but hope you get me. I need buggy to suffer and not be able to do anything with the fact that first time in years he’s forced to acknowledge the date that for so long was his only friend special day.
He realizes what day it is and he is awfully quiet and less assertive because he won't stop thinking about Shanks. But not in the way he usually thinks about him (angry and extremely insufferable), more in a melancholic, sad, post-breakup way he only feels when it's his birthday. Because he remembers Shanks' birthday and how they celebrated when they were kids. He remembers that there were times in which they were actually happy and couldn't imagine a future without the other.
Then Mihawk tells him that it's his birthday (for some reason. He actually never says it. Perhaps they find out another way) and I think it'd be extremely angsty if Buggy just?? Was angry at Mihawk for no reason?? The swordsman doesn't understand anything but Buggy is feral when he is around him instead of actually being scared or just, you know, sassy. He is actively angry.
Mihawk doesn't get it. And tbh, Buggy doesn't get it either. It is something he can't control. It just happens. It just makes him angry that somebody else has Shanks' birthday. Not because it makes him think about the redhead (although that is also something to add there) but because he is still a bit possessive of the date. As if nobody but Shanks and his memories of when they were friends should own this day.

The idea of Buggy giving out favors to guards for makeup is great but consider… consider…
A guard tossing a small package into Buggy’s cell, much to his confusion „You better fucking appreciate this clown, lots of people could get into real trouble if this came out yanno? Someone must really care about you.“ Buggy rips open the package, hoping there might be anything in there that will make this hellhole easier on him, only to be met with a makeup palette. The colors are smeared and the lipstick has been cut into tiny pieces, whichever guards needed to be bribed at least seemed to make sure there wasn’t a dagger somehow hidden in a small tube of lipstick it seems, but it’s all still usable. One of his cellmates cracks a joke about someone wanting Buggy to look like a pretty prison bitch for them all, making everyone cackle, to which he grumbles something akin to „prettier than you at least“ under his breath, before he takes a look at the tiny card that has fallen out of the parcel.
„Buggy. This is the best I can do on such short notice. Hang in there and don’t do anything irrational. -S“
And Buggy crushes the card in his hand and starts seriously planning his escape immediately. He knows what „Hang in there“ means in this context and he’s not gonna sit pretty and wait for Shanks to come rescue him, however he plans to do that. He appreciates that he got his shades right however
I would lie if I said I consider this omg yes! I can imagine Shanks getting news of his "not-exactly-boyfriend-but-maybe-hopefully-soon-to-be-husband" getting into impel down and thinking flopping himself on the couch like a victorian lady in deep disparity - dramatic and unnecessarily over the top. His entire crew is so curious as to what made him react like that because the captain was usually so calm about everything. Ben tells them it has to do with his childhood love or something which makes them even more confused.
Shanks pulls strings and finally has the makeup delivered. When Buggy gets it, he would never admit how grateful he felt for having at least something. He doesn't do his usual flashy full makeup because 1. it'll be harder to notice the change, and 2. he has to calculate how much he used it if he wanted it to last...
Some of the inmates kept pestering him about who sent this to him, why and if there would be more. He refused to answer but he slipped up with "as if I'd let that idiot break me out".
After he escaped with Luffy, Buggy couldn't help but think about how similar the two were. Which makes him remember exactly why he didn't want Shanks nowhere near him.

bts jealousy scenarios
Tumblr media
someone asked for this but I'm an idiot who doesn't know how asks work so I lost it.
anyways the ask was just 'jealousy' and that lack of instruction made my autistic ass scared. Here it finally is.
warnings: one (1) sad ending, angst, drunk person, history student writer finding it necessary to put one historical au in there. (why do i try to be funny in these intro/warning thingies? nobody reads this. I am a jester putting on a clown's show for the deaf and blind)
WC: Don't know, don't care
KIM SEOKJIN
She's dancing. Not only is she dancing, she's dancing with her husband...and it's not him. He watches her swaying along the dance floor with the better man. Seokjin knew he was the better man. If he wasn't you wouldn't have married him. Your new husband Jinyoung lifts you up and twirls you around and you laugh, a sound clear as water. You smiled brighter when you were with Jinyoung, laughed harder, moved with more energy. Seokjin knew he had lost. Still he couldn't bring himself to be angry. You were happy. That was all that mattered. When he lost you years ago he'd signed up for a life on the sidelines and now he had to bear the consequences.
The song ended and you let your husband go. Seokjin walked over to you right after gathering all his courage and swallowing the frog in his throat. "dance with me!" you said before he could. He couldn't find any words so just took your hand and walked you back to the dancefloor. once you've found your rhythm and are softly rocking back and forth on the shiny floor of the gorgeous venue, he finally finds his voice. "Are you happy?", He asks. "of course", you beam. "Just wanted to make sure", he says almost whispering. your smile drops: "are you okay?" you ask concerned. "When you're with me always". "You need to let me go Jin". He sighs, tears welling up in his eyes: "I'm sorry". It's the last thing he says before walking away out of the venue into the night. He'll take enough with this. As long as you're in his life he would never truly be unhappy. He'd be the dry dust of the savannah spending his time waiting to be blessed by your rain. He'd be the moon yearning for the moments he could take some of your sunlight every once in a while. If this was all the both of you could be then that's how it would be.
MIN YOONGI
You were dancing with Mr. Fleatwood again. Yoongi knew he'd been courting you for more than 10 months now. It was killing him. Why couldn't he just work up the courage to ask you. To go to your house as a caller instead of just waiting for you to look in his direction. His family was much wealthier than yours so there was no need for him to be embarrassed, and yet he was. Something about your divine beauty, your quick wit and sharp intelligence made him a nervous wreck.
"why don't you ask her to dance? What's the worst thing that could happen?" Namjoon, his best friend had come to stand next to him, his wife on his arm. "She could look at me". "oh you melodramatic piece of work!" Namjoon's wife exclaimed. Yoongi sighed melodramatically: "I'm too late, she's been courted by Mr. Fleatwood for over 10 months. A proposal can't be far away". "exactly!" Namjoon said with a smile Yoongi found way to optimistic looking. "they've been courting for over a year and no proposal yet. They're taking too long. If you ask me, she's trying to shake him off". "I've learned not to ask you things", yoongi chuckled, but while his friend walked of he considered what he had said. Maybe he did have a chance. "worst case scenario she dumps her glass over your head. It's a hot summer night, it'll be refreshing. Just go for it before I do it for you", Namjoon's equally optimistic wife whispered near his ear. All right then, here goes nothing. Yoongi walks over to you. "Miss, might I have this dance?" "If you take me away from that bore of a Mr. Fleatwood you can have anything", you smiled.
KIM NAMJOON
Namjoon's watching you on set. He came here to surprise you at work. This way he could drive you home to the dinner he made for you. When you told him you would be acting in a romantic comedy he thought he would be able to handle it. Turns out he couldn't. Your co-star just threw you on the bed and was crawling over you. When he kissed you Namjoon decided it was time to take a bathroom break.
When he comes over the scene is done and you're getting ready to leave. "Hey honey!", you beam at him. "Yeah, hey honey", he huffs. "What's up with you?" you ask frowning. "Nothing, I'd just like to get home", he answer dramatically looking away from you. You chuckle and figure you have an idea about what's going on here. "okay, okay, I'm almost ready". When you're out of costume you leave with Namjoon to the parking lot. He doesn't say anything the whole way. When he starts driving and you look over to him to see him angrily sticking his tongue in his cheek you can't take it anymore. You try to hold in your laugh while you ask him: "Are you upset about the scene?" "Don't laugh at me", he says curtly. "Oh come on Namjoon don't be ridiculous, it was only a scene for a movie". Namjoon dramatically looks out the window. "Would it help you if I told you that my co-star is an absolute dick that I can't stand?" "Would that be true or just something to shush my hurt feelings?", Namjoon says with a small smile on his face. "It would very much be true". "Do you need me to beat him up for you?" You laugh: "I shouldn't have to ask you things like that, you should just do it". "I prepared a date for us", Namjoon says after laughing: "I'm sorry I overreacted". "It's okay, I get it".
JUNG HOSEOK
You're sitting in front of him at the restaurant you agreed on. Next to you is your boyfriend and next to him is his girlfriend. God how he hates this. Why did he agree to go on this double date? Why was he dating Jinae? He didn't love her. Why were you dating this douchebag? He didn't love you and Hoseok didn't even want to think about the possibility that you truly loved him. Lastly, why oh why was he not the one next to you? You should be dating him. Hoseok was sure he could give you everything you wanted, make you so much happier than he could. He saw the way your boyfriend looked at other women. How he made little comments that made your smile drop. Hoseok had spent this entire date moping and barely talking. "So how long have you been dating again?", your boyfriend asks. "eeuhm...", Hoseok hesitates just long enough to make it awkward before Jinae saves him: "almost a month". An awkward silence falls before you ask your boyfriend to go dance with you. Oh God that's right, this godforsaken restaurant has a dancefloor and romantic music playing. Your boyfriend manages to catch himself right in time but Hoseok saw he was about to roll his eyes. He would never do that. If you asked him to to dance with you he would be the happiest man on earth.
You're on the dancefloor slow dancing with your boyfriend and Hoseok stares holes into the back of your head while ignoring his girlfriend next to him. He knows he's being horrible to her. That she doesn't deserve this, but he couldn't stand to be alone while you were with someone. "they're so cute. Do you think we could ever be like that?", Jinae asks with an endeared look in her eyes. "no". "What is up with you? Why did you bring me here, you've been ignoring me all night", Jinae sounds clearly offended. "I don't know, I think we should break up".
PARK JIMIN
You're laying on your couch watching some romantic movie. An empty container of ice cream is laying on the floor in front of you and the tear streaks are still clear on your face. You and your boyfriend just broke up. Apparently He couldn't handle your close friendship with Jimin. It had started with him making sly remarks towards him and ended with him accusing you of cheating. Doors had been slammed and tears shed but it was over now, for good. You'd gone straight home and hadn't contacted anyone. you Just wanted to be alone.
All of a sudden your shaken awake by the ringing of your doorbell. After blinking your sleep away you get up to open the door. On the way there you look at the clock and see it's 2am. The bell rings again right before you open the door. Jimin almost falls onto your floor. "What are you doing here?" You ask softly. Jimin leans against the wall and manages to slur out: "You've ruined my life". He smells of alcohol. "Jimin, what are you talking about?" "I can't stop thinking about you and your stupid boyfriend. I haven't been able to stop thinking about you for years and now you have this idiot of a boyfriend. I hate him. he's so pretentious. You should be with me because when you're not it burns and I need you to make it stop. I know you love him. I know I don't have a chance with you. You're so smart and he's also smart and I'm not. You always talk about how amazing he is and I can't fucking take it. Maybe I should get out of your life, it hurts too much". All of this was rambled and a lot of it incomprehensible. after a moment of silence and Jimin trying to stay standing by holding on to the hallway mirror you say: "We broke up". "Come on Jimin, you can sleep on the couch and we'll talk tomorrow". "Okay, I love you", Jimin slurs while following you to the living room.
KIM TAEHYUNG
Your new fiancé has been proudly strutting around all night with you on his arm. You're gorgeous as always. His name was Dokyeom and he was annoyingly perfect. He was everything you deserved and everything Taehyung wasn't. You were the heiress of your mothers company and so you were always meant to marry the son of a rich family. That wasn't him. Taehyung came from an average family. The only reason he was here was because he was your best friend and you invited him to every single one of these events.
Dokyeom puts his arm around your waist, pulls you closer and Taehyung almost recoils. He couldn't take this. He had to get out of here. Since you were teenagers he'd been in love with you. Never once did he say anything. It would ruin your friendship with no point because he's always known you were to marry rich. And the worst part about all of this; you were happy. This would be so much easier if you hated Dokyeom. If you called Taehyung every night to complain about the horrible man your parents had arranged you to marry, but you didn't. You liked your fiancé.
He left. He had to. On his way out he asked one of your mutual friends to tell you he was sorry. He was just about to step out the door onto the street when he heard you call his name. "Taehyung, where are you going so early?" "oh, I'm just tired. Thought I'd head out early". "Without saying goodbye?" He hated this look on your face. Your face had fallen when he said that and now he felt horrible. You frowned and said: "you normally love these things. What's really going on?" He figured there was no point in lying. Maybe Namjoon had been right when he said that the best thing to do would be to be honest with you. So here he went; finally taking his chance after almost 10 years. "I can't do this Y/N. I can't watch you marry that guy. I love you. I love you so much and yet I can't stand to watch you be happy with someone else. I can't keep hurting myself.
"Run away with me", was all you answered.
JEON JUNGKOOK
He was going to kill that guy, and after that you. No, he would never do that; he loved you. He was just mad. Earlier tonight you had fought. You wanted to go out with your friends but when Jungkook saw the dress you were wearing he told you to change. It turned into a fight. You said he had no right to tell you what to wear and he had accused you of not respecting him. In hindsight he'd realised you were right. So now he was here at the club he knew you were at, to apologise. He didn't want to wait until you were back because then he'd be asleep and he knew that you wouldn't talk about it the next morning.
When he arrived he'd spotted you after a mere 2 seconds of looking at the dancefloor. You were dancing closely with some guy. He had his hands all over you but you seemed to drunk to realise. A couple seconds later you seemed to sober up a bit and told the guy to back of. He didn't of course. This was Jungkook's cue to step in. He marched up to the guy and pulled him away from you. "When a lady says back off, you back of alright you piece of filth". He wrapped his arm around your shoulders, "let's go home Y/N". "Okay, but I'm still mad at you". "Yeah about that", he lead you out of the club while saying: "I'm sorry about that, you were right I totally overreacted". He opened the car door for you and then went over to the driver's seat. "You should be able to wear what you want, I'll shut up about it next time". "Good". You said curtly. After a few minutes of silence you softly said "I'm sorry I stormed out without solving the argument". He looked over and smiled, "Forgiven and forgotten".

Hey again! :D A similar request as the last one, but this time the child is smaller (10-11), and Fyodor and Nikolai raise them together! I just wanna see how good they would be at parenting together TvT (i love your writing!!)
Thaaaank yoooouuuuuu :))))))
Thanks for your request!!!!!
'•.¸♡ parenting ♡¸.•'
Gn!reader (platonic)
Fyodor x Nikolai ig, weather you see it as platonic or not is up to you.
Fluff
Masterlist
Enjoy!
Tumblr media
Again, who the fuck knows where Nikolai found a random child but he found you and now he's rasing you with Fyodor.
Tbh they are shit at parenting, like a clown and a manipulative bitch as parents? That child is growing up to be fucked up for real.
Okay, I've calmed down a bit, let's continue.
In this scenario Nikolai and Fyodor live together.
The first time Fyodor met you was when he came home to you sleeping on the sofa and Nikolai making something to drink in the kitchen.
'Why is there a child in out living room?' Fyodor asked, confession lingering in his voice.
'Their name is y/n and they are our new child!' Nikolai explained with a smile while preparing a cup of tea for Fyodor.
'Why?' Fyodor's tone was more of an annoyed one this time.
'Why not?' Nikolai placed a tea bag in a cup before pouring the water in.
Fyodor just sighed and accepted the fact that you were going to live with them now.
Fyodor isn't around that much naturally so you were closer to Nikolai but whenever Fyodor was around he didn't seem as scary as people made him out to be.
Fyodor did try to take care of you properly, educating you if he had the time and when he didn't he told you what to learn and gave you a plan until your next lesson, Fyodor wasn't the best teacher and had a hard time comprehending the fact that you were 10 and 10 year olds (including most of the population) aren't as smart as him.
Does Nikolai try to teach you anything? Nope, maybe some magic tricks here and there but other than that not much. Education is restricting in some ways and doesn't let the mind be creative and learn on its own so they way to be as free as one could get is to not learn stuff which will restrict the person and their imagination, now one should still attend school because you need to learn and stuff.
Since Fyodor is out at work most of the time you are left alone with Nikolai, you're too young to be left alone so Nikolai has to take care of you but he also has work and who else would be a great Babysitter than everyone's favourite: Sigma!
Nikolai said he had to go to work and you couldn't go with him so he took you to a good friend by the name of Sigma.
Without a knock Nikolai burst in through the door and startled a man sitting by a desk doing some paper work. 'Quiz time! Why am I here?' Nikolai announced while you awkwardly stood slightly behind him. Sigma didn't answer and only stared in disbelief at you for a few seconds before practically shouting at Nikolai 'Why on earth do you have a child with you?!'
Nikolai only laughed him off and started to walk up to him. By the time you two were in front of the desk Sigma calmed down and spoke in softer and more calmer tone to you trying to be as nice as he could while not being irritated by Nikolai. 'Is everything okay? Do you need help?'
Nikolai laughed at his questions and asked him to look after you for a while before leaving you there.
Sigma became a regular Babysitter to you and the longer you spend there the more activities became available to you. Sigma get some board games or something so the two of you could play while being there.
But what if Sigma cannot take care of you? Well the only option is bring-your-child-to-work day for Fyodor. He told you to just kinda chill there and stay quiet as he typed away but you cannot expect a child to sit I'm silence for hours and hours on end.
'Fyodor... I'm sorry but I'm hungry.' You were sitting on the floor surrounded by cables and what not. Fyodor stopped his typing and look at you, at the time and back to you, it was (whatever time you eat dinner) so he decided to take you somewhere to eat something.
The most likely scenario is the two of you going back to his house so he can make something for you to eat but if he's in a rush he'll get take out or something.
Since today was more of a busy day for him he told you to get up and the two of you left for town to get something, he wasn't going to call for take out, that would risk people knowing where he lives and that is bad, very bad.
You had a great time out, you did mostly walk in silence to the restaurant and turn back but it was still nice. On your way there you spotted a cat and wanted to pet it but Fyodor was moving quickly ahead and didn't bother to stop for a simple cat.
Once going back the cat was still in its and you ran up to the cat carefully as to not scare it away and started petting it. The cat was woke up but didn't move still enjoying the sun. Fyodor caught up to you rather quickly but instead of moving along not paying attention he stopped and let you pet the cat for a little before telling you that you two have to leave.
You two got back and ate your food making light conversation
I don't believe Fyodor has any other chairs beside his own in his office so you have to sit on the floor or stand.
Overall Nikolai and Fyodor aren't the best parents a child could ask for but not the worst, they care for their child and their wellbeing.
Also Nikolai insists on calling him тато (tato: dad) or pa or something like that.
༺♡༻ 𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊 𖡼.𖤣𖥧𖡼.𖤣𖥧 ⋆ 𖡼.𖤣𖥧𖡼.𖤣𖥧 𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊 ༺♡༻
Тато is Ukrainian btw
His is longer than expected and honestly I could keep going.
Have a wonderful day/night and do something you enjoy.

That Arkham psychiatrist Jazz and guard Danny, but with Corpse AU, Eldritch!Ghost King, and Ghost!Gotham.
So Danny heard Jazz got a job she really wanted, visited the city she moved to, but suddenly felt someone or something call for him. Gotham asked his help to wake her from Slumber and Danny had to stay to help her so he applied as a guard. Cue Danny being the best guard Arkham has ever had.
But it just so happens that when he moved to Gotham Joker was already inside Arkham and when the clown broke out Danny was just getting settled and when Joker performed his latest crime, he's being dragged back to Arkham with a relatively established Danny who now patrols deeper in the building.
So first time Danny sees the clown he stops cold while everyone watches.
Joker is a tresspasser, unwelcomed in Gotham's city-state. Wait, no, Danny realize that Joker must've belonged once, but he was rejected by Gotham along the way. He doesn't really know and can't care about the specifics of what went down there but this thing isn't human and it must be contributing to poor Gotham's state. So Danny beelines to the Joker, and Danny is pretty harmless in his human guise, but then he starts shedding it.
"I am Phantom, invited here by Gotham herself, I belong here for as long as she will allow but you have outstayed your welcome and in my right as the Ghost King, you will be removed." And proceeds to devour it whole.
The rest of the rogues are silent.
Then Danny is back to his usual guise and the Rogues are relatively well behaved and Jazz is loving her job and making so much progress with the other psychiatrists without the Rogues repeatedly breaking out and coming back worse and rinse and repeat.
So, Corpse AU enters along the time the buzz of the new guard reaches the Bats. They interact with Danny as their vigilante persona, sometimes they cross paths as civilians, Gotham adores them. But Joker's disappearance is suspicious and everyone wants to look into it if nothing else because they need peace of mind and closure.
They pick up pieces here and there from the Rogues. So they now inch towards the supernatural genre and about this Ghost King. With their resources and their investigative might, they get the idea of its existence from the scientific community (which is its lack of mention except from a line or two here from two Dr. Fentons interesting that), the records from the Al Ghuls, and the interactions from the magic/supernatural community. I don't know how the realization goes down but Danny profess to his reason for staying, that he's heard the same voice they had to, and is just here to help Gotham. The Bats didn't think it was Gotham's voice or that it (her) even had a voice so that's a thing.
Danny confess to eating Joker. Bruce bristle at the blatant nonchalance at killing and says something about the idea of death may be different for them. Danny answers that he didn't kill the Joker, because killing the Joker wouldn't work because it'll just posses another suitable host, which probably had already happened multiple times, the malicious wraith one of the largest parasites on Gotham's own ectoplasm. Gotham probably voluntarily gave it a part of herself once upon a time and then it started taking and taking and Gotham realized too late. Or something like that.
Anyways, the kids and the Fentons get along swimmingly, Jason particularly pleased by their presence maybe for more than one reasons.
Then someone, probably Tim, I'm putting my bet on my nosy boy, realizes Danny is a ghost and Jazz is his sister and just one of those 'ghosts were alive once and he's definitely the alive before type so what happened' and looks to Amity records and it doesn't take much digging before he finds the case of Phantom. Or Phantom's ghost and his body.
And the ensuing investigation. And Phantom's own hand in the progress of the investigation, or rather his hand in stopping the progress.
It's up to you what the official records say, but one of my fave fics (that one with the relic and written from Maddie's perspective) os that Danny (or his body) was officially killed by Vlad.

do you know how fucking mad i am at the fact that the webcomic gave us lloyd giving javier his own mana in an attempt to save his life and javier overcoming literal dimensional differences in order to be able to accept it into his body effectively foreshadowing how far he's willing to go just to be able to protect lloyd,,,, but they did it all with a fucking 'haha lloyd is ugly' joke. do you.
this could've been one of the best scenes in the entire thing. it could've been such a pivotal point for their character development. it could've been one of the most earnest moments in the story. but it's made into a joke because they just need to draw the ugliest faces possible to make a cheap joke that has been made a hundred times already. i'm not being funny i'm genuinely mad at the wasted potential lmao
the tone of the scene was changed from the webnovel so much it's almost unrecognizable. and not in a good way. like. why would you cheapen the emotional core of your own story like this. do you trust your own plot and characters so little to keep your readers engaged with the story that you feel the need to make everything in a joke. is that it. was the original story not funny enough to keep your attention so you think no one will care if you turn what's meant to be an earnest and heartwarming scene into a joke you've made hundreds of time before.
i'm not. mad. about the changes themselves (mostly). like i said this particular scene had so much potential to compliment the original story and foreshadow the ending that i'm actually upset that the tone and art made it so i can't in good faith say i like it.
they just. shot themselves in the foot by trying to make the scene funny. all the tension and emotional built up is wasted when the webcomic makes fun of itself. it cannot take itself seriously so i can't either.
like. it was going so well. i loved the built up with the scene where they talk about javier's parents and you see that they're still emotionally guarded with each other, they don't quite feel close enough to the other to call themselves friends even when we know that they care deeply for each other. i liked that they changed it so lloyd had the opportunity to save javier the way he wasn't able to in the novel. i even liked the development with lloyd's mana being so different from javier's that he struggles with accepting it, cause it was a chance to call forward to a very important event in the future.
the scene where they're reaching for each other as they realize that yes, they're friends and god help them they will save their friend no matter what?? gorgeous i loved it so much, it wasn't 'We'll be together forever, just like we've always been. Casually. As natural as breathing air.' yeah but it was perfectly okay on it's own too.
and then they do this.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
like. what.
all that emotional built up, all that tension, all of it,,, for this?? this????
what's the point of making your audience feel emotionally engaged with the story if you're just gonna make the art equivalent of a fart noise. a well executed yet still completely out of place fart noise lmao
it doesn't feel funny, it just makes me feel like i wasted my time being emotionally invested in something that isn't interested in delivering. it's like watching someone setting up dominoes to topple them in a gorgeous pattern only for them to put on clown shoes and start kicking them all over the place without rhyme or reason. like yeah they're in their right but then what was the point of all that work in the first place.
and yeah maybe it's my fault for expecting something earnest and heartfelt from a webcomic that has shown multiples times that it's not interested on that but like. is it really too much to expect for an adaptation to, well, adapt the original source in a way that doesn't feel like it's making fun of it??

Worm Arc 9 thoughts:
Not enough of my daughter. Where is my baby girl? Though I do enjoy getting different PoVs. It'll work for a little bit.
Weld is neat. Didn't feel great about him at first but he grew on me. His scene with Vista made me love him. He's a good kid. (He should probably have learned Aegis, Gallant, and Browbeat's names before talking to the team the first time though)
On the note of that scene - THEY HAD A THERAPIST THIS ENTIRE TIME? The Wards had a therapist available to them and no one was having them see said therapist after 3 of their teammates died? Piggot is so bad at this.
Me reading Flechette's chapter with the aim of making her gay as I have done with everyone else: "Oh wow this is a really easy one!"
I wanted to see more of Parian sooo badly after I first saw her and I'm so fucking glad this is how I see her! Flechette and Parian are wonderful and I hope they get gay married and retire together.
Me saying that probably highly increases the chance that one of them dies in the future.
I'm very glad Flechette gave up on Shadow Stalker. I like Flechette and she shouldn't have to deal with that asshole.
I feel so bad for Clockblocker. He's just a kid and his dad is dying and that sucks. I wanna bake him some cookies or something.
The professor of that class was so clearly identifiable as "one of those professors". All "up until now you haven't had to think, but in Parahumans 103 you'll need to think and I'm not gonna baby you yada yada". It's still just a 100 level course dude, geeze. Get off your high horse.
Clockblocker and Vista are siblings and I love their dynamic.
Despite me feeling for these kids some, the second the Travelers started clowning on them I was enjoying the shit out of myself.
Fucking Trickster is just so much damn fun. His powers are cool and he really lives up to his name. I love him.
Glory Girl getting rocketed off into the sky by Ballistic had me in tears from laughter.
Kid Win has ADHD. I was sure Kid Win had ADHD before I even started on the Kid Win chapter where he says he has ADHD. Someone get this kid some Adderall. And some therapy for all that self doubt and imposter syndrome.
Kid Win also didn't even hesitate to illegally spy on Chariots personal computer by hacking into the wi-fi, so that doesn't give me great confidence in the Wards following rules. Or any heroes. I'm sure that won't ever come up again though.
These Slaughter House Nine guys I'm sure won't be a big deal. They won't do horrible things to hundreds of people. Gonna be taken care of by heroes off screen during the next arc. No worries at all!
Vista joined the team when she was 10? The superhero team that has to deal with death on a semi-regular basis and terrifying violence all the time. That team. She joined it when she was TEN?! Shitty system you guys have here!
Saved the best for last - SHADOW STALKER GETTING FUCKING MEMED ON BY MY WONDERFUL DAUGHTER! (And my daughters friends)
God I wasn't sure about her chapter at first. She is so mean and I didn't necessarily want to spend a long time in her head watching her be mean. But then my daughter showed up in a swarm of bugs and fucked up a bunch of Nazis and I knew everything was going to be ok.
The instant Shadow Stalker started to follow Skitter I knew she was gonna get fucking wrecked. I don't know why I knew, maybe I just know my daughter well enough. But no matter the reason I was so happy to watch it happen. Wasn't worried for Skitter at any moment cause I knew she was gonna bitch slap this asshole.
Just. Damn I fucking LOVE watching my daughter just be a goddess of bugs and go to town.
I could keep going about Shadow Stalker getting absolutely destroyed for who knows how long, so I'll just have to stop myself.
And we see a new person with the Undersiders, did Aisha get her powers? I'm so happy for her! I can't wait to see what they are.
Imp is a great name and it's kinda fucking bonkers it wasn't taken by somebody else already.
Did I mention Shadow Stalker getting clowned?
Cause she did.
Just completely baited and then my wonderful baby girl even got to tase her. I'm so happy for her. Sometimes a little violence is the answer.

I dunno if you like age regression topics (the coping mechanism, not the magical fictional one but either work for this concept)
But like. Buggy regressing in some way, shape or form. It's set during Cross Guild, on Karai Bari, and his closest friends know vaguely of it, maybe, or they know Something happens every once in a while where Buggy will put them in charge with strict orders to not bother him.
Crocodile and Mihawk are not beholden to those orders.
So it happens while they're there, and they decide to go look into it and find Buggy, little and small and curled up tightly with his fingers dug so tightly into his hair that it's a wonder how he hasn't yanked full handfuls out yet ((He has, his Devil Fruit just reconnects them)). Crocodile is taken aback by the Off Vibes. Mihawk is staring, head tilted slightly because the clown's energy is locked down even tighter than usual but it's juvenile, it feels like a child, a little child absolutely choked with terror.
That is what settles the matter for him, and so he sets aside Yoru, walks over and kneels on the floor before Buggy, voice soft as he tries to get the other's attention. He asks before touching, his hands are gentle when he gets consent to reach out, he is clear and broadcasting all of his movements as he goes.
Buggy is still shaking, but the mumbling has slowed. His breathing is still uneven, but it has eased up slightly.
Crocodile doesn't quite know what to do and so goes to get a cup of water. He adds a straw on a whim.
Mihawk holds the cup steady as they gently get buggy to drink, his hands still shaking, tears still flowing.
This is the first time they see Buggy small and vulnerable. This is thus the first time they ask him to come to one of them when it happens. Neither will admit to being a bit soft on the clown, let alone being soft in general, but no child should have to be scared and alone.
Buggy then breaks their hearts when he shakes his head, rubs his eyes, and says "but 'm always 'lone when 'm sad...?"
Mihawk breathes in slowly, fighting a grimace. "You shouldn't need to be, Buggy. It's okay to ask for help when you... feel like this."
"But unc'a Rayray said 's bad."
"It isn't," Crocodile says simply. "You can ask for help. Hell, come to one of us when you feel all... off, like this or otherwise. We're here, yeah? Might as well be here for this too. No big deal."
Buggy sniffles a little, then he just hums. He lets Mihawk finger brush his hair, rocking slightly in place. Crocodile makes a big show of complaining and groaning as he sits down on the floor, earning a wane smile and a teary giggle. He smirks at the success.
They sit with Buggy until he eventually does off, and then Crocodile picks him up and Mihawk helps tuck him into the bed.
They decide to keep a closer eye on the other moving forward.
The beginning of it all is rocky at best. Buggy has had decades of time to internalize that his shifts are BAD and thus not okay or acceptable. He's also surprisingly stubborn when push comes to shove, so reworking a new routine is like pulling teeth from a bear.
They make it work though.
Buggy's regression isn't all sunshine and daisies, but it's also not always stressful and tearful. Mihawk never took himself for a man who was good with children, but he secretly dubs Buggy an exception. Buggy is usually ALL of his exceptions.
Crocodile meanwhile is very much sold on Not Liking Kids. They deserve to be cared for and protected, yeah, but prolonged contact with one is exhausting. He just isn't built for that. He doesn't like kids. He will tolerate Buggy, big or little, because of his own agenda, not because he likes the brat. No, really, stop smirking Mihawk, he is SERIOUS-
Buggy is just bamboozled by it all.
I’ve heard about Age Regression a few times as in the coping mechanism, I didn’t know there was a fantasy or magical fictionalized version of age regression… is it the thing of characters turning into kids? That’s all I can think is the things it could be, I don’t know how Buggy will regress. That’s up to the writer if anyone wants to write it.
I would think Cabaji knows a lot about it, because I headcanon that he knows Buggy the longest. Mohji, Richie, and most of the original crew would know about it. I don’t know about Alvida and Galdino; they might vaguely know about it, or they do know about it.
Of course, Crocodile and Mihawk are going to ignore what Buggy asked, so they go to find him. Only to find Buggy freaking out alone. Love that Mihawk feels Buggy’s energy like a child. That’s interesting while Crocodile just feels Off-Vibes. Crocodile and Mihawk go and help the clown during this, so he can calm down and talk to them about what’s happening.
Love that both, Mihawk and Crocodile tells Buggy to come to one of them when this happens again. I wonder if someone had to tell them what was happening or do they know about this condition.
Not Rayleigh telling Buggy that it’s bad to do, I wonder the reason behind that. From what I know about the coping mechanism, it’s not really something people can control. Wondering if it’s because the crew didn’t know what to do, so Rayleigh made sure to tell Buggy to stay away from people when in this state. It's set to keep him safe from people that might exploit Buggy in this state. I don’t know, love that Crocodile tells Buggy that it’s okay to come and ask for help.
It’s cute that Crocodile made a big show of complaining while Mihawk just brushes Buggy’s hair with his fingers. Mihawk and Crocodile agreeing to keep closer eye on Buggy, I like to think they just made eye-contact and nodded with each other, without saying anything.
Of course, it isn’t all sunshine and daisies, that’s not how kids are and reworking a new routine for Buggy is hard. The clown is very stubborn, I’m glad they made it work.

After watching the show twice and thinking about it way too hard I'm starting to think Bee was created, at least in part, to protect the island/spaceship.
Like I do love the theory that human Bee died and the current Bee is a replacement, I def agree that her talking about getting really sick one time isn't just a throwaway line, plus her hatred of the ocean/water seems too important to be nothing but a personality quirk brought on by her being a robot(like how she says she's waterproof but also that she doesn't even like looking at the oceans bcs it makes her "think about things" seems suspicious), and as sad as it is the first time we see baby Bee she is trying to stick a fork in an electric socket...so yeah lots of hints/references to Bad Stuff happening in her past, BUT I also could see her having a greater purpose in the whole system thing that's going on with the spaceship/island.
It seems like one of her main skills is being Really Freaking Strong, and several times we see her consciously activate some parts of herself that specifically make her stronger, and I can't stop thinking about how two times in the show her main consciousness seems to go "offline" and is replaced by some kind of combat focused sleeper-agent mode and how when she's in that mode she can keep fighting even when parts of her are severely damaged. Sure, her dad could have added all that just to protect her, but on top of all that the show also goes out of it's way to show that helping and supporting people is clearly one of the main things she does, and I think that's important too.
Like we see pictures and flashbacks of her with other characters when they were babies, she mentions being familiar with taking care of babies in the new first ep, Deckard and Cas talk about how she's been around their family "forever", and she starts to prioritize taking care of Cardamon once she realizes he needs help. We see her remeber what people enjoy and go out of her way to get things they like/want, take them places she knows they'll have fun, and to support them even when it's hard(the peach bread, evergy drinks, and laptop for Cas, taking Crispin to the clown planet, ordering food from the cat Cafe despite clearly not wanting to be there just to help Howell, pushing Deckard to pursue his dream, going crazy trying to fix Puppycat when he's all squishy, ect.), Hell the show even starts with her wishing she had someone/thing to take care of. It's clearly something that she's drawn to doing, even if she isn't always the best at it.
And yeah that could all just be her(or human Bee's) natural personality, but even the little stuff is Important in this show and so I think it's more than that. Like maybe Bee's dad programed in the "helpful" stuff just to make sure someone was looking after Violet and Cardamon(even if they weren't awake) and that just spilled over into the rest of Bee's life, or maybe he genuinely wanted her to care for the island residents, but it really does seem like Bee's real job is being a protector.
Anyway I know some people were saying Lazy in Space was labeled as "part one" so I'm hoping we get more and if we do they go into why Bee exists, but until then this is my theory.

The devil you don't know 4
Part 3 / Part 5
After a little walk you finally arrive at Rivington, you decided that it might be the best to ask the travellers before they arrive at the city center where they would probably would like to find a place to drink and eat than waste their time with a stranger.
Hoping that they're more friendly with you here.
So, passing by the open hand temple into the busy street, you start looking around. Nobody really looks like they would have an idea who Raphael is.
It would be the best if you go down the street and just hear a bit what the others have to say.
You see a bright circus, seeing your favourite childhood clown dribble would definitely lift your mood, but Raphael would probably not be there, so with an aching heart, you go forward.
It's been a long time since you've been here, especially since the refugees came here. Everybody turned at least a little bit meaner, and some people were treated harshly just because they were poor.
You wish you could help, but unfortunately, you don't have much to offer, and it's not like you're rich. Barely making it, especially through the winter.
Suddenly, you see 4 travellers covered in blood and dirt and you can't help the feeling of hope rising inside you.
You see them walking into the sharess caress, and you hurry after them, hoping not to lose them.
Opening the door, you see that the one at the front is talking to a dwarven woman "aah the little mouse found its way to baldrus Gate." She chuckles. "Raphael awaits you. He's upstairs and has his own room there."
The traveller frowns and questions, "Who are you?" To which the dwarf shakes her head."I keep forgetting that you don't know me, even though I know you so well... think of me as Raphaels assistant, his helping hand."
The group is obviously exhausted and tired from their adventure and they have no energy left to argue any more than necessary.
Quietly, you move to the side to not draw any attention. You first want to know what Raphael would do here in such a place.
Is he working here? Or perhaps he needed something more than a boring person like yourself.
Maybe it's another Raphael, at least you hope it is. The group pass you by and go up the stairs, one of them groaning, "I hope the devil doesn't try anything stupid?" which leaves you frowning, again with the devil.
You let some minutes pass by as you make your way up the stairs, searching for the right room. You wonder, he did say he favourably works with nobels and adventurers even though this place seems like a place only for the travellers.
When you arrive at the room, you press the side of your cheek onto the door, straining your ear to hear what they're talking about in there.
Relieved that you don't hear any moaning or bed creaking.
"Why bother with trifles? When I'm in the illustrious presence of my very favourite client," you hear Raphaels smooth voice from the room, and it breaks your heart, so he does work here.
"So, apple of my eye, how have you been?" You hear his voice again, and you can't help but step back. Does he enjoy this type of work? You thought that he would only make deals and contracts like an agent.
Holding your head, you take deep breaths. It's alright. Perhaps he just has a high sex drive and doesn't want to bother you, but that's nonsense.
Maybe he has debts and need to pay them back, but he never seemed to struggle with his finances. He always striked you as someone who knows how to take care of it.
Biting the inside of your cheek, you think of your next step, just bargaining in there wouldn't be smart. It would only lead to angering him and his so-called clients.
"I suppose you'd rather suck on the emperors tentacles," his voice booms out of the room, which makes you gasp audibly. Tentacles? What kind of things are these mad people into?
Oh no, are they about to force him into something he doesn't like? Oh god, what do you do?
With panic you put your ear again against the door, but this time with a bit too much force, which causes a semiloud noise.
Unfortunately, it's too quiet now, and you don't know whether or not to just burst into the door or run away. Your body tensing as you feel the fear of confrontation creeps up your body.
To your dismay, the door opens quickly, and you fall head first into the room.
Just in time you somehow managed to land on your forearms instead of your head on the hard wooden floor. Your basket rolling away from you. Cursing under your breath you slowly lift your head and are looking up at the supposed leader of the group.
"How unfortunate Raphael, you did cut the connection to the emporer but didn´t notice your little spy over there" says the very pale man from behind, his tone mocking and dimissive.
Before you could say or do anything, Raphael steps between you and the group, ignoring you competely. "You do not need to worry about this one," he gestures behind him but still not looking at you even as you slowly stand up, "I do not expect you to make up your mind right now, as I can see how utterly exhausted and tired you all are. And how very unfair would it be of me to take this against you? Why don´t we reschedule our little meeting for another day, hm?"
Raphael´s client takes some seconds to think and then only gives him a nod, "I need to talk with Gale and La´eazel about this anyway."
As the group makes their way around you two to leave the room, you can´t help but wrap your arm around his, feeling a bit frightened. That´s the kind of people Raphael works with?

Don't mind me just casually dropping a thought nugget-
Anyway Ussop and Buggy both with MEGA imposter syndrome energy, somehow the cross guild and strawhats cross paths and declare a truce ((maybe it's a simple island, maybe Buggy's just "feeling nice" and so doesn't instigate, who tf knows-))
Anyway, Ussop and Buggy having a brief moment of a heart to heart, maybe Ussop overhears a Cross Guild "argument" ((ie: Croc threatening Buggy)), and he's actually... concerned? About this guy?? I mean yeah Buggy has done some bad shit and all but he helped Luffy with the whole Impel Down Thing. Luffy is a good judge of character, and if it wasn't On Sight this meet up, then obviously Buggy is a halfway decent dude.
So it becomes Pinocchio Jesus trying to subtly give therapy to a feral cat clown man on the outskirts of a party.
And when Buggy inevitably drops a "it's just the way it is, kid, they're stronger than me, I can offer nothing", Ussop has a moment of oh. You're like me, aren't you, Buggy?
((Bonus points, Luffy alternating between inhaling food, playing around and being absolutely GLUED to someone (Zoro, Buggy or Crocodile, in that order of frequency).
Eventually Lu decides to give a Grand Retelling Of Events, and he calls Buggy "one of the harder people I fought" without hesitation bc, to Luffy, he WAS. Buggy was the one who hurt his hat, who gave him a challenge STILL IN THE EAST, and who was tenacious and smart in ways he didn't GET. mihawk and Crocodile both are Doubting until Luffy gets into the Impel Down events and they... are beginning to Wonder. Buggy was underestimated when arrested, on a higher level, but even those levels have good security. And Buggy was out and mid escape when Luffy found him.
How did THAT happen?
And actually... he was starting and running a business in two years - one they integrated into with... very little push back or struggle. Mihawk may not be as business oriented, but both can tell that the math isn't... mathing precisely as expected.
Luffy, so infectious with energy, in that hat, in that shade of red - well. Buggy's been lonely for so long, and he's tired. What's the harm in dropping a few of his many, many guards?
Luffy is over the moon bc as far as he's concerned, the moment Buggy helped him, they became Friends, and when he learned he's an ally or smth of Shanks'? That's it, Buggy, you're being assimilated into the found family. Good luck, pal.
Croc and Hawk meanwhile are the Pikachu meme inside, trying to find the EQUATION to account for?? All??? This????
The rest of the strawhats are either cackling, watching on in amusement or cheering on as Buggy does some simply little card tricks or juggles smth or other. He passed Captain's Vibe Check, Nami's only slightly petty about the money.))
Just. Ussop (and thus Sanji) looking at this exhausted clown man and saying "we're adopting you. Yes, you're older than us. No we don't care. Sign here plz"
Luffy going "we're friends, no need to fight!! ... unless you wanna 👀👀"
Meanwhioe Mihawk and Zoro are making Prolonged Eye Contact ominously between sips of their alcohol of choice.
Just. Buggy being strong armed into Friendship and The Inescapable Ordeal Of Being Loved while his business partners are left to Wonder and Think and be subjected to the biggest, most aggressive sideye either have ever experienced by this gaggle of pirate gremlins who have for some reason decided Buggy is the Coolest and Best Ever, Actually.
This is amazing. I've always said Luffy and Buggy would end up getting along at some point if Luffy knew how much Buggy has gone through, tbh. And Usopp would feel so much pity for him, honestly. They're on the same boat here (shitty self-esteem and imposter syndrome boat). This is great bc I can imagine Crocodile and Mihawk's faces and it's,,, So funny,,

We need a Dr. Hofnarr from Madness Combat yandere alphabet, please!
Sudden late night Hofnarr brainrot so here you go! Not fully spell checked.
Yandere Alphabet - Dr. Hofnarr
Pairing: Romantic
Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession, Stalking, Manipulation, Clingy behavior, Delusional behavior, Kidnapping, Drugging, Jealousy, Slight sadism, Violence, Worship yandere, Forced relationship.
Tumblr media
Affection: How do they show their love and affection? How intense would it get?
Hofnarr himself is really nerdy and sweet. He struggles with trying to get close to you but once he does he rarely leaves you alone. At first he just wants someone to talk to who will listen to him... then it developed into something more.
Hofnarr isn't all that intense at the start... as his obsession goes on and he begins to become Tricky is when things get more intense.
He goes from socially awkward scientist who's scared to touch you... to clingy and emboldened scientist who gets aggressive when anyone interrupts your little "sessions" together.
Blood: How messy are they willing to get when it comes to their darling?
Hofnarr usually tries to avoid being violent. I know, it's odd considering who he becomes. He prefers no unnecessary violence and finds other ways to get rid of rivals.
But he isn't incapable of murder.
Cruelty: How would they treat their darling once abducted? Would they mock them?
Hofnarr tries to hold off on kidnapping you. Although, if he finally snapped and did, he'd try to care for you the best he can. The man is hopelessly in love with you, after all.
He probably keeps you in his apartment, somewhere he rarely returned to before he met and brought you here. He allows you to rest on his bed with a chain around your leg. Other than that... he's oddly delusional and sweet.
He calls you sweet names and asks what he can get you. He looks for your favorite foods and channels on TV. Hofnarr knows everything about you... so taking care of you and loving you shouldn't be an issue, yes?
He would never mock you.
Darling: Aside from abduction, would they do anything against their darling’s will?
He tries not to... he really does... but eventually he may be unable to help himself from giving you some restrictions.
Hopefully he doesn't have to... hopefully.
Exposed: How much of their heart do they bare to their darling? How vulnerable are they when it comes to their darling?
All of it. This man dedicates nearly everything to you. He's vulnerable when it comes to you. If you let him he'd spill all of his feelings out to you.
He wants to live and breathe you... as creepy as it sounds.
Fight: How would they feel if their darling fought back?
Game: Is this a game to them? How much would they enjoy watching their darling try to escape?
Confused and incredibly hurt. What's he doing wrong!? Does he scare you!? How can he make you feel better!?
He's sorry!
Not really and he'd hate it if you ran from him.
Hell: What would be their darling’s worst experience with them?
Ideals: What kind of future do they have in mind for/with their darling?
Him kidnapping you or him turning into Tricky.
Both are pretty bad. You're either in isolation or constantly running from an obsessed zombie clown.
The cliché sort of stuff. He wants to go on dates, maybe even marriage. He just wants to dedicate himself fully to you!
Jealousy: Do they get jealous? Do they lash out or find a way to cope?
Kisses: How do they act around or with their darling?
Yes and he'll plan how to deal with it. He's smart, he won't lash out but isn't comfortable doing nothing. So... he plans out the fate of the one making him feel threatened.
He's devious about it sometimes too.
Love letters: How would they go about courting or approaching their darling?
Completely lovestruck. He follows you around and often takes note of everything you do. He listens to your every word and often takes glee in helping you out. He's like a puppy at times.
It can be considered cute... or weird.
Mask: Are their true colors drastically different from the way they act around everyone else?
He starts by stalking you, filling notebook after notebook about you and hiding them away somewhere secure. He steals things like pens you have and hoards it. The classic "stealing from his love" kind of thing.
Then he begins talking and befriending you while he does such things. Soon he tries to coax physical contact from you. Then it keeps escalating as he craves more and more.....
Yes. He's just so... clingy with you.
Naughty: How would they punish their darling?
He prefers isolation. He doesn't want to hurt you... but a little neglect to make you feel you need him works, yeah? It hurts him just as much as it does you.
Oppression: How many rights would they take away from their darling?
He tries not to take many except maybe some social interaction.
Patience: How patient are they with their darling?
He's actually rather patient!
Quit: If their darling dies, leaves, or successfully escapes, would they ever be able to move on?
Probably not until he gives into insanity.
Regret: Would they ever feel guilty about abducting their darling? Would they ever let their darling go?
Yes and maybe? He would never leave your side though.
Stigma: What brought about this side of them (childhood, curiosity, etc)?
Curiosity, love at first sight, loneliness, he doesn't feel understood by anyone but you, something like that.
Tears: How do they feel about seeing their darling scream, cry, and/or isolate themselves?
Horrible. The part of him developing into Tricky feels oddly pleased, but most of him just feels guilty.
As a result he does everything he can to make you feel better, often flipping through his notes of you to see what can make you happy. He loves you too much to make you sad.
Won't you let him help?
Unique: Would they do anything different from the classic yandere?
I'm going to say it, I feel Hofnarr would be the classic yandere. It just fits him for some reason.
Vice: What weakness can their darling exploit in order to escape?
Reciprocating his affection is a good way to earn his trust. He'd do nearly anything for you. It would be easy to manipulate him that way... as sad as it is.
Wit’s end: Would they ever hurt their darling?
Most likely by accident, so he apologizes profusely... yet part of him sort of liked it.
Xoanon: How much would they revere or worship their darling? To what length would they go to win their darling over?
He would be such a worship yandere. He goes to great lengths for you and acts like he worships you. He researches every little fact about you just so he can please you.
Yearn: How long do they pine after their darling before they snap?
He can pine for a long time, actually. He's rather content with researching you from afar... but you aren't safe forever.
Zenith: Would they ever break their darling?
By accident and he'd feel horrible afterwards. May even try to fix you.

Creations AU, But I obnoxiously over explain it PT 3
Pages 61-90
Back at it again with Mike and his silly little adventures in Freddy's.
Tumblr media
Huh.
What'd you see.
Stop being vague.
Who are these creepy masked people???
The bullies from FNAF four
Damn if only there was an entire side comic FNAF 4 cough cough I made about them that will explain that lol. We'll get to the side comics I promise. ;)
Whatever he saw, he's terrified to re-live.
Tumblr media
Ouch.
Someone got hurt-
Tumblr media
What the hell are you apologizing for exactly?
What'd you do?
None of those people in the masks were you...
We can tell cause they actually had a skin tone lmfao.
Tumblr media
Oh that could use some cream.
So that's why "the bite" kept making Mike uncomfortable...
This kid got his head munched on.
And it wasn't ACTION but LACK of action he's cowering in fear from a child over.
Side note this panel out of context is hilarious and I won't pretend it's not.
Tumblr media
Hi Bonnie! :D
He is the best.
Tumblr media
Damn okay.
What's reality?
Ominous poster of the yellow Freddy for sure isn't important.
Tumblr media
Haha Mike ya have episodes like this often? Often enough he composes himself afterwards.
He's utterly bamboozled Bonnie apparently SAW the kid he was chasing so...maybe.
Tumblr media
That smirk is unsettling.
So this part of the building used to be "Fredbear's" the place Michael's favorite animatronic "Spring Bonnie" is from and mentioned earlier. Fredbear is clearly the one who bit the child.
Tumblr media
I'd be scared too Bonnie thousand yard stares are concerning.
Tumblr media
That's hysterical coming from the clearly possessed giant rabbit but go off I guess-
He's obviously trying to make Mike feel better which is nice of him. UwU
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Aww. Hug how sweet.
So now we know a bit more about Mike. Let's review:
This nameless kid Mike saw die was obviously Michael's brother Cody Afton from all the context clues we've been given:
Mike's reaction to Micheal bringing up Fredbears, due to it being a traumatic event.
Cody being "Bit"
Mike doesn't seem TOO sure they're the same person but we know it is.
Mike blames himself for not doing anything at the time to stop Cody's head from getting crunched.
Mike's grasp on reality is...Flimsy. Self admittedly he thinks it's flimsy and he knows when he needs to go home when it's too much.
Mike is desperate for comfort over his trauma with Freddy's and Bonnie's a cool dude who'll give it.
You'd think Bonnie would be a bully from his intro but he's actually a super caring guy, he just can't stand people who purposely cause problems.
Bro comes in clutch with the hugs.
You can see why Freddy would run to this guy to solve issues haha.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So from those first panels we know 1 thing:
He had no clue Ennard was in the room with them. So add stalking to the list of creepy things that clown robot has done so far.
My god it's an old man-
He's Micheal's dad! :D William Afton!
Alright I'm gonna stop being goofy and vague for a moment:
It's obvious he's evil as fuck and for the people who like to bitch he has a personality in this comic or ANY media where people give William a personality: Stop making excuses as to why you write him one note you cowards, you can give him a personality without condoning what he does lmfao. Only a bad writer would say you HAVE to make him one note for him to work. Fucking morons actually you are stupid if you believe that.
If you wanna make him cartoonishly evil with NO redeeming qualities: Cool. Whatever. Just shut the fuck up don't act like yours is "Better" because you can't think of ways to make him anymore interesting.
Everyone's William caters to their tastes. Nobody's is PERFECT. I only judge stupid vapid bitches who complain about other interpretations while blowing smoke up their own asses. Because an ego isn't pretty on anyone lmfao.
The idea giving William a personality makes you a terrible writer/person needs to die I'm sorry that's such a stupid as fuck idea idk who came up with it but kindly stop writing and stop giving writing advice. UwU With love~ From me!~
Anyways I've spoiled William is a bad person who does a bad thing, Won't say what yet but all the death in the building can give ya some ideas. And apparently because William is bad guy there's "Rules" on how to write him. From a bunch of 12 year olds who dunno how to write but I digress.
I detest the idea of that. Because let's be real all FNAF characters are blank slates and the idea of squashing creativity is dumb. Literally go wild with your FNAF AUs.
Rant aside: William seems to be a bit of...An ass.
Just slightly manipulative and rude language towards his only living child it's fine-
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ah yes. He also demands physical affection.
We get Michael's age, he's 23 aka still a damn baby.
Also, William and Michael are British.
Since we're on voices:
Mike Schmidt would sound like Legoshi from Beastars lmfao. I imagine Bonnie with a new York accent. Freddy sounds like a lady.
We finally get to see what Ennard and Michael interact like together...
Michael doesn't seem to put up with him.
Tumblr media
Ennard's kind of a prick.
Also apparently they have a HISTORY.
One that involves Michael talking shit about his father...
For people who know shit about the games: Yes Ennard is possessed by the same person from the games.
Tumblr media
Hah Michael tricked him.
Tumblr media
Okay so everyone in Michael's life is manipulative towards him.
Neat.
Also Ennard is a raging hypocrite.
Also conformation William is an owner not just a robot maker. (Can't remember if this was brought up earlier again some of these pages are 2 years old lmfao)
Also this comic assumes you got SOME Fnaf knowledge. I'd hope it's still interesting for those of you who are here for my other stuff! XD
Tumblr media
Like ouch Ennard ya don't gotta be such a jerk.
Also Mike is cute.
Tumblr media
This panel unironically is one of my favorites because this man doesn't scream in terror at any of the terrifying robots:
It's the gay guy he's trying to befriend he screams like a little girl at.
Another help wanted joke about the Faz token under the cupcake in the office.
Michael just wants to hang out with Mike obviously.
Despite all the shit he's clearly going through dude puts on a very pointy smile.
This man is built like a cat.
Tumblr media
Lol they made pizza together. How cute.
Hah bro is apologizing for something he didn't even do nor has control over-
Is it obvious Michael is abused yet?
Going real unsubtle here: Everything about Michael shows off he has been abused in some way shape or form.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Michael wants to think he's being friendly for reals despite clearly having second thoughts due to Ennard.
Bro is desperate for a connection with someone.
Also
Pff.
Mike c'mon Bonnie's so sweet how could you- X'D
Tumblr media
Few things: William doesn't "Let" Michael do things.
If it wasn't apparent he was controlling as hell before it sure is now.
Also Michael is embarrassed of his interests.
Also the locker:
Again we see an instance of Michael going by "Mike" as his locker literally just has a piece of paper tapped over it adding the rest of his name lmao.
Tumblr media
Michael is used to being toyed around with that is sad.
Bonnie continues to be a sweetheart even when he's off screen. X'D
Mike attempts to relate to Michael's interests once again.
Also another instance of Bonnie lying his ass off about how close Michael and him are:
He knows Michael's locker combination and puts gifts in there lmao.
Tumblr media
Mike clearly likes that plush a lot. Maybe he likes Chica a lot lmao. Who knows.
One thing to note:
If Michael's working day shifts and night shifts...when does he sleep?
Grant it, it isn't ALL THE TIME but still bro's sleep schedule must be OBLITERATED.
Tumblr media
Oh hi giant floating head in the hallway you're stalking Michael too huh?
This is just two sides of someone's brain arguing with itself that the entire positive interaction they just had was terrible AND the other party hates them.
And that comparison only makes more sense down the road.
Tumblr media
Yeah Michael you tell him. You don't need to take that from him.
Jeremy's a cool dude.
Also the fact the kids pay no mind to this argument is funny.
Also Ennard taking genuine offense to Jeremy being a better friend lmao. Anyone can be a better friend than Ennard. X'D
We hit the image limit but oh boy. So much joy in this update.

i was talking about this with @laufire and i think something key for how i think about dick and jason's relationship--in my new earth future sandbox that mostly exists in my imagination, but honestly this tracks with what ive read of them in prime earth--is that they choose to become brothers as adults. i just don't think they managed to get there before jason died. i think they would have, i think they were on that track, i just don't think they had time. dick is a little prickly okay, it takes him time to properly warm up to people. he liked jason by the time he died, but i don't think they were family yet.
and i think one thing that happens is like. by the time they would be in a place to do this, to make a choice to be brothers and build that relationship, dick's actually really proud of being a big brother, this is something he finds very meaningful and important and fulfilling. so emotionally what he wants is to be the big brother. but crucially i don't actually think that's the way their dynamic will shake out
jason is pretty resistant to being taken care of, for one thing, and for another he simply does not need the kind of protecting that dick can actually do. and jason is obviously a very complicated and unstable person in general, so that's a complication too. and dick is... he's not... its actually pretty hard for him to take care of people, okay, and he's just not able to be consistent for the way he actually shows up for people. he wants to be, he wants to be so badly, but he's not really a person you can call consistently and expect him to pick up the phone. and i love that about him honestly, he's a mess, he's doing his best but he's a mess.
and that's okay:
Maybe he wishes Dick had gone through with it, if not Bruce, but so what. Jason doesn't lose any sleep over ending the clown for good, and here Dick is, still messed up having ended him for two minutes. So what if Jason had always wanted a protector? Those childhood daydreams of a father or a big brother who would go to bat for him—so to speak—what does that matter? What does that matter, when it comes down to it, when he can protect himself?
but i do think that dick is sort of. aspirationally big brother. jason doesn't want to think of dick as a big brother because that comes with some expectations he doesn't expect dick to actually meet--they can be brothers and equals and he can look up to him but without wanting things from him dick can't give.
and i think that creates an interesting dynamic and an interesting bit of tension between them where they both have certain ideas for this relationship and what they want it to be, what they want from each other and what they're able to actually reliably give each other.

I'm absolutely in love with how Sarcastic Chorus analyzes Helluva Boss episodes. And in this video I agreed with everything he has said and made really good points. I don't think they really ruined Striker like yeah the big dick joke did give off Chaz vibes but we also have to remember that Striker was kinda of a narcissistic hypocrite jackass. But I still love him as a character. Do I prefer him to be more intimidating? Yeah because having intimidating villains are good and could open us up to villains who don't just make sexual jokes or clown around.
I think people also need to keep in mind this is a show on YouTube. That the creators are having fun with because again it's an adult cartoon with violence, dirty jokes, and some serious moments. While Hazbin Hotel will actually be on TV and we aren't sure what that will bring and what will change other than character designs. Striker is a character I would like to see again because his presences can be intimidating sometimes. But Sarcastic Chorus made some good points about Striker as a character, his motives, and how he is presented to us.
Overall rewatching Western Energy. I don't think it was that bad that people made it out to be there was just some inconsistencies, the way things were delivered, and drawn out jokes. But other than that I did enjoy the episode and is Striker ruined as a character? Kinda and kinda not because he's always been a narcissistic hypocrite jackass but with an intimidating presences and he's one of my favorite antagonist next to Ozzie & Verosika. It's like the same with Stella, they didn't ruin Stella, she has always been like this especially we don't really know much about her. We just know she wants to kill Stolas for cheating on her and probably ruining her reputation.
Because come on the people she hangouts with are probably gossiping about what Stolas did and the divcore. She doesn't care about his money or what he has. Bitch just wants petty revenge, because we know Stella is rich herself so she'll be fine financially because of her family but reputation wise not so much. So when it comes to some of these characters that we haven't really seen much I wouldn't say they are ruined or destroyed.
I'm sitting awaiting the new episode which I'm excited to see Ozzie again and see why he's the king of hypocrites which I already have a wild guess and especially be introduced to Barbie because maybe we'll find out what happened to her and Blitz's mom, I know some people don't care about Blitz's lore, he ain't my favorite character but I'm a lore whore. Helluva Boss does have some good moments in the show and bad shows. Because I wouldn't say Vivzize Pop is a horrible writer. She is a decent writer at best not professional because us here on tumbler who write fan fiction especially me aren't professional but we try our best to entertain people.
I can admire that the team is trying though because Moxxie has had some development, Blitzo realizes that Stolas can get hurt and isn't untouchable, Stolas now realizes that his wife is trying to kill him, and there is a lot of other things to note in the episode. Anyway I'm done rambling and need an ice coffee. Please remember to be respectful, responsible, mature, and kind in and out of the Helluva Boss fandom and Hazbin Hotel fandom whether you are enjoying the show or giving criticism or both. Just remember to be respectful and if you don't like something maybe just block or don't engage, love yall and peace out. 🤍

Roo is a bit of a party pooper here. (But Roo does not poop at parties.)
A GENTLE WORD OF CAUTION REGARDING STREAMS, ALBUMS, and SYMBOLS
First and foremost, streams are dropping like hell this weekend. So please run playlists on all possible devices (I'll put links at the bottom of this post). PLEASE DO NOT NEGLECT STREAMING as we are in the red.
Of course we need to focus on Angel right now. However, Like Crazy, Face, and Jimin himself are predicted to be nominated for song, best album, and artist of the year for MAMA. Actual trophy awards at a broadcast year-end award show! But the digital points are low for song and album, so we need to work on CONSISTENT global streaming for Jimin in addition to all our boys every single day!
Second, a Naver article stated that Jungkook's album will drop on July 14th. Another Naver article reported on that article, and then a bunch did. We've been here before, where the media ran with a bit of gossip and then got clowned later.
Tumblr media
What the company SAID was:
“The schedule is yet to be finalized, and is to be announced subsequently.”
Now, JJK1 could very well drop in five weeks. But I've heard no chatter anywhere about final touches on post-production, album design, distribution plans, or promotional schedules... they don't just put the songs in a can and then press a button and it's out in the world.
Plus, a year ago, there was a strategic plan shared with investors that mentioned Q4 for him (though that was more of a road map than a firm commitment).
JK did say during last year's Festa that he'd go after Yoongi. So maybe it will happen as soon as July? That would be wonderful, because it seems like Jimin still has music to release, so maybe they can be supportive of each other's projects this summer and fall, before enlisting (hopefully at the same time!).
But I hope JJK1 doesn't go up against the Barbie soundtrack on July 21st because that has so many heavy hitters, my lord, we never catch a break!!
I will just say that JJK1 is one of the most anticipated global releases of the year. It will require a lot of logistics and likely heavy in-person promotion. So I just want to caution folks in getting too emotionally invested about a mid-July date.
It could be. It could not be. Best to wait for an official announcement, which will likely come at least 3 weeks before drop. So let's keep our ears perked after Yoongi's last concert on June 25th...
Third, some folks are reading into a lot of symbols these days. Which is fine! But I'd like to ask that we just be careful with it.
Personally, I only subscribe to a number theory if the timestamp or the numbers that the members write/say are in exact order and we can draw a straight line between that and a known special date. I do not use addition, subtraction, division, or re-ordering of numerals to get to a desired outcome. I don't know K-ARMY who do that either. But I'm not out to crap all over people who do!! It's fun to theorize!
For me, it's fun to look at number stuff the same way it's fun to read tarot cards. We tinker, we point out possible coincidences or patterns... Just please, I gently ask you to keep to theory and not fact. The last thing we want is for someone to cherrypick a screenshot and drag things out of context.
Speaking of symbols and theories becoming fanon facts...
Jimin posted old photos of him looking ADORBS with a tangerine today (which Tae helpfully commented to make sure we'd all understand it was a tangerine, lol). So Yoominners rejoice:
Tumblr media
While Jimin's social media DOES feature plenty of Yoongi (D-Day, Suchwita, possibly photos where Yoongi's shoes appear in a mirror) and TikTok dances, plus he did come on live (FROM HIS HOME!!) on Yoongi's birthday... Jimin's social media also has Hobi, Jin, Joon, and Tae on it! But predominantly it's Yoongi who shows up on Jimin's Insta. We haven't had any Jungkook on his Insta since White Day of last year--interactions with Jungkook seem reserved for WeVerse lives and posts.
Make of it what you will.
To my mind, it does seem like certain "soft" subunits were paired up since Festa of last year. (Hobi spread love to everyone, then there was Namjin's DeliciouSeoul commercials, Yoonmin's Busan [??] tourism commercial, Taekook as yet to be determined but it feels like it's coming...) So the lines between work posts and relationship posts also begin to blur a bit for fans, especially since the members all adore each other anyway...
Whether there was a strategic plan in place or not for how what I perceive as soft subunits promote, I don't know.
But meanwhile, certain other "promotions" seem to organically play out: JK sings all his members' new feature songs, but hypes Jimin's the most (on random lives he does without permission). JK came on live often, but a pattern is emerging where that typically happens when Jimin is away or busy. JK hangs out with Tae and went to the Harry concert with other members, but calls for Jimin to join him most often.
Again, it's fun to speculate what this might mean.
Meanwhile, today Joon posted a gym whiteboard workout in which the initials JK and JM appear, and so folks assume minimonikook are getting swole together. I like the mental image, not gonna lie.
Tumblr media
And hey y'all! Maybe Jimin is summoning Min Yoongi with a tangerine. Maybe Jikook did hit the gym with Joon and draw on his whiteboard. Maybe Tae did grab a bite with JK in the one day before he dyed his hair and allegedly went to Spain to film a music video. It's fun to speculate. It's what fans do.
I just want to caution folks from stating things the members do or feel as if they know for sure.
Those are cult tactics and, for me at least, the lines are starting to blur a little bit these days between Jikookers and Taekookers... in that folks are more than happy to assume that secret private couple getaway trips are pure fact, that words mumbled off screen say exactly what we want to hear, that the company has a clear-cut nefarious plot to hype specific members and bury others... and that there are hints of Signs and Wonders everywhere.
And maybe these things are shaking out and really happening. But we don't know. So I feel more comfy discussing this sort of thing when people include "I think" or "it seems" or "maybe" as we talk about it--I like to have a little wiggle room--because when I see my fellow Jikookers start to "witness truth," it comes off far more like a religion than a supportive fanbase.
I say this gently because at some point we've all done it, especially when we are in a hurry and speaking casually or joking around. I'm not judging, just cautioning.
Words matter. Believe me, I learned my lesson, and words matter.
And when it comes to Jikook, we don't really need to grasp at straws. While our boys are a lot more private these days, they still have exclusive, intimate tones and touches and interactions that we glimpse.
And the circle around them still heavily imply they come as a package deal. For example...
Fourth and finally, we got this awesome interview with Polyc, who had some wonderful things to say about Jimin and the members:
youtube
And it was sort of implied that Jimin spoke many times with Polyc about the membership tattoo over the five months that JK was getting his arm retouched--maybe while they were in the shop together? Maybe while his moon tattoos were getting done? Or maybe not.
But Polyc basically said Jimin was the one to usher each member through the process. (Which is a bit of a different impression than I got last Festa when Tae said "I will go with Jungkookie!" because back then it implied it was JK who acted as the conduit between the members and his tattoo artist, but here's some strong evidence that it was Jimin all along who bounced around ideas and made it happen and comforted each member's anxiety. Interesting.)
It's almost as though Jimin and Jungkook are the soft subunit that never gets official promo but keeps bubbling up everywhere.
Tumblr media
Okay so that was my long-winded way of pooping on the party just a little, but hopefully not enough to dampen anyone's spirits!! No one is doing fandom "wrong" -- I just want to keep our hearts and intention pure, and our actions honorable, that's all.
In conclusion: speculation is fun! But assuming is not.
And now? Please STREAM!!
Tumblr media
AND PRE-ORDER TAKE TWO WHILE YOU'RE AT IT!!
I love you all so very much! Be well, puppykitties!
Love, Roo
Tumblr media
