#it's cause Miles is a super gay

[plaid-maniac]

Do you ever think about how there totally could have been an old classmate of Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth in the audience during like turnabout sister or turnabout samurai. Do you think they would realize? Like “hey, were those the guys in my class in like fourth grade? I kinda remember them. Wonder if they remember each other. But it was so long ago, I doubt they would even care.” Meanwhile Edgeworth and Phoenix are undergoing the most insane mental battles where both of them are going “I recognize my best friend across the courtroom and I desperately want to be close with them again.” And “god he is so god damn annoying I wish he would die already.”

#ace attorney #miles edgeworth #Phoenix Wright #not specifically ship so I won’t tag it but kinda ship if you get it #the classmate usually sits in courtroom trials because they love the drama #and honestly they like miles Edgeworth’s cases cause ‘hey I know that guy’ #but of course they don’t like go up and talk to him cause they weren’t really that close and he left kinda abruptly #cause knowing someone for like a year in elementary school and then pestering them about why they left 15 years later is a weird thing to do #course Phoenix comes in and now the classmate now has to deal with the knowledge that the defense and prosecution used to always eat lunch #together and play superhero’s during recess with that really weird kid who was always up to no good #what if one day the classmate was like ‘maybe I should introduce them to each other again. sure that we would all get a laugh or two in and- #-that would be the end of it and they would continue with their lives as normal people. they certainly wouldn’t get super gay and awkward- #-about the whole thing and just be completely chill.’ #god what would happen and Edgeworth v state? #the classmate would probably leave the third day like ‘I am a changed person. I can never go back to not knowing so much about this person.’ #and like they wouldn’t be able to say or do anything cause like??? how do you even have that conversation??? #‘hey I know you don’t remember me but I like sitting in the audience of courtroom trials and I was there for your case and I just want to- #-ask are you good? like honestly do you need someone to talk to?’

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

Steve sighed as Eddie hovered over his shoulder. They were making cookies for the potluck Christmas that Joyce was holding at her house. Eddie had come over, apparently, to supervise. His breath was tickling his neck, and it was super annoying. Steve had apparently gotten really sensitive since the bats bit him, especially when he was around Eddie.

"If you're not going to help, then get out," Steve said jokingly.

"Like I said before, I am helping. I'm supervising," Eddie grinned.

Steve sighed and rolled his eyes as he put the cookies in the oven. He set the timer and turned around to say something to Eddie when a song came on the radio: Have Yourself a Merry Christmas by Frank Sinatra. Steve’s eyes lit up, and he grinned.

"I love this song," Steve said.

Eddie grinned as he pulled the other man into his arms.

"Well, then, let's dance then, big boy," Eddie said, and Steve gave him a weird look. "What you never slow danced with another man before?"

"No, have you?" Steve asked.

"No, but there's a first time for everything," Eddie said.

He grabbed Steve’s hand and placed it on his waist while holding his other hand in his. Eddie pulled him closer, wrapping his free arm around Steve’s neck, and pressed his cheek against Steve’s cheek. He began to move them slowly.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Make the Yuletide gay

Next year, all our troubles will be miles away.

Steve was about to open his mouth to say something about the Yuletide gay part when he realized this was gay. This fuzzy feeling in his gut as he danced with Eddie, it wasn't exactly straight. He could easily freak out, but he didn't want to pull away because it was nice. He thought about all the times he felt weird whenever Eddie got close to him and realized now it wasn't because he wanted Eddie to leave. It was because he wanted him as close as possible.

Through the years we all will be together

If the fates allow

Hang a shining star upon the highest bough

And have yourself a merry little Christmas now

Steve wasn't the only one having a crisis. Eddie was currently panicking inside as he enjoyed Steve’s closeness a little too much. It was supposed to be a joke. Steve was supposed to freak out and pull away, although he should have known he wouldn't have done that with Robin and everything. The truth was, he had been hoping he would stay in his arms for many reasons that Eddie didn't expect. Maybe that was why he had been stepping in his space so often, not to annoy him, but he hoped that Steve would step forward too. Eddie nuzzled his cheek against Steve’s, smiling when he heard him sigh in contentment. God, shouldn't he be freaking out more about this?

Here we are, as in the olden days

Happy golden days of yore

Faithful friends who are dear to us

Gather near to us once more

Through the years, we all will be together

If the fates allow

Hang a shining star upon the highest bough, oh

And have yourself a merry little Christmas now, ooh

Once the song ended, Steve and Eddie pulled back slightly, still entangled in each other's arms. Their faces were still so close that they could feel their breath on their skin. Their noses brushed up together as Steve and Eddie gazed into each other's eyes. Eddie's hands slid from Steve’s hips, moving up his arms, and cupped his neck. He could feel Steve’s heartbeat against his palm, and he could tell it was racing. Eddie looked at him questioningly, and Steve nodded, licking his lips. Eddie moved forward, and Steve met him in the middle, their lips coming together. It was curious at first and very slow until the jolt of electricity shot through them both, causing them to deepen the kiss. Eddie curled his fingers into Steve’s hair and moaned against his lips as Steve squeezed his hips. They broke the kiss and leaned their foreheads together.

"I think I like you," Eddie blurted out.

"I think I like you too," Steve laughed.

"Steve?"

"Yeah?"

"Merry Christmas, Stevie."

"Merry Christmas, Eddie."

And have yourself a merry little Christmas now, ooh. . .

[tocomplainfriend]

It feels less like you want to address a real life problem to characters, but more like you want to have another of your characters you constantly baby and want others to fangirl over.

TW: Rape, SA, Racism, Stereotyping, Homophobia, Acephobia, Arophobia.

The representations of topics in media DOES affect real people.

Fiction can affect reality.

Let's start easy, Jaws. This goes back to Hazbin I promise.

"Since the release of Jaws in 1975, the world has witnessed a staggering decline of 71% in shark and ray populations, and around 100 million sharks are killed each year." (including multiple practices of mass hunting sharks in competition)

Both Steven Spielberg and the original writer Peter Benchley regret the movie and book. It's a big reason of the shark treatment, when it started by old fishermen worrying about shark biting people in the beaches they made money of.

Even if you aren't a shark killer yourself, a lot of things you believe of sharks are untrue myths that come from making sharks "evil" human killer animals. Sharks cannot smell blood from miles away, that's not even how water works, the particles of blood need to enter their nostrils. Sharks are not man eaters, they attack other prey animals before human. Shark attacks are extremely rare, even if they happen they are not justifiable to kill all sharks.

Sharks actually have personalities they can fit in, they are smart and recognize people and boats- and form positive relationships with people. They can even like getting pet by people.

Other level to represent other thing sin media that affects reality we can address Queer, representation as a topic.

I hope it is not a surprise for you... possible non-straight, non-cis person reading this. That the constant representation of gay man as kid predator is a problem. They used old commercial (PSA) to spread negative views of gay man. Media is used to spread messages and affect its viewer. This is, there are cartoons created by Jehovah witness (or similar religions) to spread their beliefs and teach to their children in an easy, digestible way.

Same with the amount of straight woman that went off to read shitty yaoi manga and fetishy gay wattpad stories, and went to sexualize and diminish queer men. Constantly making gay man's personality into bottom or top (uke and seme shit). I witness this irl, others have too.

Same with shitty men that view Lesbians as a porn machine for men, cause "monkey brain like woman, lesbian = two women". Which happens in general and adult media. All of these are EASY examples.

Another one which turns out many people don't think about. Having your representation of an AroAce character (on purpose or not) be the psychopath with no feelings. Associating the not being romantically or sexually to means you have no heart, to be abnormal, by then a psychopath. An abuse or serial killer.

Fiction does affect reality-

A racist film, 'Birth of the nation' Revived the KKK and let to all the discrimination, and the homicide of black people of centuries ahead.

-

Coming back around, how you treat the topic of SA, and r-pe- affects the real world. You would think someone who wrote that, had in mind on how that affects people in real life. Didn't you want to represent victims of SA/R-pe that are sex workers and male?

Reducing the r-pist, pimp, trafficker character to an air head to treat as silly is crazy to do. Specially as... oh idk... the creator? Both this and the tweet of the voice actor calling Val "Bubbles Coded" is so crazy. The character is also not deep enough by itself, it's pretty much Stupid and a R-pist sex trafficker. The tweet below Viv's fucking kills me too.

The fact Val is shown to be air head stupid doesn't delete he backed Angel (and by being a sex trafficker and a pimp, and him licking charlie that means he has multiple victims) into a corner and under his control. Too then abuse of him in many different ways. Manipulations are not only done by Super mastermind people, and representing it in such way diminished, affects people who have being manipulated and actually try to question if they have being or not. Manipulators can be normal, average people, they usually are not obvious. Even if Val is openly a shitty person that's really obvious, it doesn't detract from him being manipulative to people. The scene where Val threatens him in chains that is manipulation, his text messages are manipulation (even if you think it is too obvious to be successful).

How you represent SA/R-PE, and its perpetrators, do affect real life.

Going around and having your "serious R-pe episode", to then go in other episodes or the other series you are writing to make r-pe/sa jokes is terrible. For the person that directed the whole scene of poison to NOT be r-pe/sa victim (said by themselves) with a r-pe fetish with this character's in specific, to directed in the most graphic way possible is awful. To go around babying your r-pist character is crazy.

Hope you understand that this doesn't mean not treating any topic at all. Creators should be awere on how they treat topics and the scenarios they create with them, too. People and viewers need to also put their brain to understand the media they consume. But you can't always put all blame only on the viewers of a series, if media is messy is a fault of the media. You can criticize both.

You need to acknowledge Valentino is indeed a terrible person, You don't need to delete his actions or the weight of them.

I also just know that a lot of Val fans just like him to draw him in r-pe art and get their fetishized gay ship. Cause that's what they are into. You won't even do that with a woman, because you are into your fucked up fetishized gay porn from wattpad you never left behind.

If you like him, FUCK IT, just please take his abuse seriously. Don't default your entire usage, and view of the character to be 'uwufied' fandom stuff, please.

I hate how the topic has being treated, in and out of the show. I'm a victim, and I'm hurt by how these things are treated and knowing how it affects others. Even in things I haven't watched! Don't make the argument don't like it? Just don't watch it. The movies from the video of SA of men being a joke, many I haven't watch- that still affects over all. It's still a problem and it's disheartening.

Also have this:

By the way, has anyone else noticed the similarities between these three ships?

BECAUSE I HAVE AND I CANNOT PRETEND TO BE NORMAL ABOUT IT ANYMORE

(unhinged gay screaming and rambling below the cut)

You know, "serious, deadpan gay has their heart melted by a nerdy, chaotic disaster bisexual with childhood trauma." Alternatively, "not enemies but initially on opposing sides before sun-coded breaks down moon-coded's walls and then subsequently become best friends that are closer to each other than most other people."

To start, the similarities between Lan Zhan, Cas, and Shouto:

Deadpan, cold, aloof, serious, intimidating, takes things literally 

Initially driven by rigidly-defined principles/goals before having their world view altered by the other half of their ship, which in turn causes them to become more uncertain of themselves and what they want, but recognizes that they are happier and better-off for it now than they were before

They were raised in an unforgivingly strict environment where there was no margin for error, causing them to become cold and jaded in a way that covers up the fact that, at their core, they are fundamentally kind and good in a way that they don't even realize but desperately want to be

Socially awkward introverts that hate everyone but This One Person

Come across as very intimidating but are actually very soft 

Surprisingly good with kids

Familial issues/trauma

They can also be identified as the "fell first" half of the relationship, and most likely fell within one of their first few interactions with their love interest 

Youngest siblings

Has an obsession with a specific animal (Cas likes bees, Lan Zhan likes rabbits, Shouto likes cats)

The undisputed powerhouse of their respective series that everyone recognizes as one of, if not the strongest members of the cast

Everyone thinks they're super wise and mature, but they are actually the pettiest bitches you will ever meet

Gay and entirely obsessed with This One Person

They all have small, private conflicts about allowing themselves to Feel. They were raised to compartmentalize, repress, and conceal-don't-feel; push everything down until you are perfect and untouchable. Then their love interest comes along and upends everything and finally allows them to Feel, but because they were taught to repress everything, they don't entirely know how to do that yet, so, with the help of their love interest, they slowly heal and learn how to be more human and less like the image of untouchable, god-like perfection they were raised to be (metaphorically for lwj and Shouto, but literally in Cas's case)

(I was gonna say, "they all belong to the mile-high tall club", but then I realized that only applies to lwj and Shouto because Cas is technically shorter than Dean, lol. Though, I guess you could argue that his true form (without his vessel) is taller, but, like, c'mon)

Incredibly dry, niche sense of humor that's only really funny to This One Person

Lan Zhan and Shouto both have mothers that they love, but who were forced into an unwanted, loveless marriage by their father that led them to be increasingly isolated from their children until resulting in a psychotic break that ultimately destroyed them and drove their husbands to imprison them (Rei in the mental hospital and Lan Zhan's mother in the Jingshi)

Unrepentantly earnest and blunt with their thoughts

Completely whipped for their partner

Now! To the disasters! Wei Ying, Dean, and Izuku:

Friendly, excitable, extroverted, sunshine-y/always smiling

Near-unparalleled geniuses in their fields of interest that like to experiment and test things

Childhood trauma

The powers that be have decided that they are undesirable in some way or another, that they are a waste, disposable, an acceptable sacrifice to make in the grand scheme of things. They have all struggled with feelings of worthlessness, and have all arguably struggled with self-hatred at least once in their lives, and even if they don't actively hate themselves anymore, by and large, they do not recognize that they have value just as they are, that the only value they have lies in what they can do (or sacrifice) for others. None of them have much in the way of self-esteem or any sense of self-worth.

At their core, they want to save people.

They all have themes of being different from the negative characatures that society tried to make them into.

Extremely talkative and come across as annoying to most people

Likes kids

Reckless and jump head-first into danger at the drop of a hat

Carry feelings of guilt, have a tendency to cast blame onto themselves, takes responsibility for things that aren't their fault

They want so badly to do good, and they choose to be kind in a world that deemed them unworthy of it

Good relationships with their respective maternal figures/caretakers (Dean and Izuku with their actual mothers, and Wei Ying with Yanli)

Wise-cracking smartasses that give off dumbass energy

Bisexual

Inadvertently ends up adopting a small army of children

Deflects their traumatic experiences with jokes

Has that one female best friend that is definitely a lesbian (wwx and Wen Qing, Izuku and Ochako, and Dean and Charlie)

"Oh my God, (Cas, Lan Zhan, Shouto)! You can't just say things like that!"

They are the caretakers, the protectors, but they so rarely let themselves be cared for by others. Their respective love interests are some of the few people they feel comfortable being truly vulnerable with and will let take care of them

Unhealthy Coping Mechanisms™

In particular, I noticed a lot of uncanny similarities between Wangxian and Destiel specifically, especially in the themes and arcs that exist in both the couples and the individuals

#you will notice they are carefully organized in order of my latest obsession to my earliest obsession in descending order #disclaimer: #i know tododeku isnt canon while wangxian and destiel (mostly) are #the inclusion of them here is in acknowledgement of their canon dynamic and how it translates to a shipping context #based on the interactions they have in the series #bnha #mdzs #spn #my hero academia #grandmaster of demonic cultivation #supernatural #wangxian #tododeku #destiel #meta

[freakylilnutjob]

Heartstopper quotes that stay in my head 24/7:

“Ginormous heterosexual”

“But I wanna believe in romance!”

Literally Charlie’s entire monologue to Ben about why he doesn’t want to see him anymore

“Je suis très bien à français!”

“Like, honestly, I’m having a proper full on gay crisis.”

“Mmm, of course you did.”

“He was giving me evils before you got here.”

“A lot of gay people are good at sports, Charlie.”

“Maybe you’re a lesbian and you have no idea!”

“I’m not, like, homophobic… I’m an ally!”

“Literally the only person in a fifty mile radius, I swear to god.”

“Nick and Charlie keep it down please.”

“Tao, Tao no! It’s his birthday!”

“I’ll also accept a can of Coke, if your payin!”

“I’m a very muscular individual!”

“Oh look, guess I’m gay now!”

“Well done, your crush on him was super embarrassing.”

“I’ll treasure this shoe potato always.”

“Have the boys been giving you a hard time? Do I need to talk to anyone?”

“You don’t get to make me feel like crap anymore just because you hate yourself. So leave me alone, JUST LEAVE ME ALONE.”

“Sir, aren’t you gonna tell Nick Nelson he has to do the match?”

“Okay, I think we’re wet enough now!”

“If you’re gonna ask if he can come on our Minorca holiday this year the answers no cause I already booked the tickets.”

And some of Harry’s bits, “but why?” “Yeah, exact” “oh my god, how sad” “nobodies being hOMOphobic” “you’re gonna regret that!”

#head empty except for these quotes #they won’t leave my head!! #and I say them the exact same way #it’s def the accent and the cadence/diction they use when they speak #it’s so fun #they’re just on a constant rotation in my head all day #heartstopper #heartstopper netflix #nick nelson #charlie spring #tao xu #elle argent #darcy olsson #tara jones #isaac henderson #imogen heaney #harry greene #coach singh #mr ajayi #osemanverse

The RO List

This is a long time coming.

This is a list of confirmed ROs in the game. So far I’ve focused on love interests who your MC will meet early on in the game. Love interests from other kingdoms like Assyria, Babylon and one of the Aramean states have yet to be included.

In the game, marriage is about political gain. So your MC is suppose to marry for an alliance and not because they simply love the other person. While most love interests can be romanced by both male and female MCs, a marriage will only be recognised between heterosexual couples. But gay couples can have a private ceremony to affirm their relationship.

DISCLAIMER! Your MC can choose not to marry and be single. They can choose to monogamous to one person. Or they can decide to have numerous nameless concubines to bear children for them. It’s really up to you.

Now on to the list.

The Companions:

The first group of ROs are your three companions you’ll meet shortly after getting out of prison.

Name: Najim/Najima [M/F]

Race: Ghoul

Magic Type: Blood Manipulation, Shapeshifting

Description: Your friendly neighbourhood ghoul. N is the one who helps you out after you escape from prison. He/She sees your potential and is willing to go the extra mile for you. N doesn’t mind cracking a few skulls or eggs in order to secure back your throne. But don’t expect them to open up to you in the beginning. N has a past that they’d like to keep hidden.

Political Power: N doesn’t have a family to help you. In fact, N would be reluctant to marry your MC because it would cause a scandal. Even though N is a jinn, they are a wrong type of jinn. Ghouls are not seen in the best of light in the kingdom. Their shapeshifting ability has given them a bad reputation because shapeshifting is mostly used for espionage and assassination jobs.

Name: Leila [F]

Race: Qarin

Magic: Earth Manipulation

Description: Leila comes from a merchant family. But times have been hard for her family as trade routes have been monopolised in the kingdom and only those politically connected to the elites get good trade routes.

Leila is an excellent negotiator and can sell anything to anyone. Like any good merchant she has detractors who accuse her of being a charlatan and swindler who sells fake jewelry at highly inflated prices. But she never let’s criticism get in her way of securing the bag.

Political Power: Leila has contacts around the kingdom. Even though her family isn’t super rich, their wealthy enough and well-connected enough to assist you in reclaiming your throne. They won’t help you out for free but they expect the MC to pay them back.

Name: Zaki [M]

Race: Marid

Magic: Water Manipulation

Description: Zaki is currently a fisherman. He comes from a family of mercenaries. He spent years fighting for others in foreign lands. But he got sick and tired of the bloodshed. After the death of his younger brother, he decided to return to Jinnestan and live a simple life. But his simple life will become complicated when he helps the MC out and gets embroiled in the conflict between the MC and the vizier.

Political Power: Zaki comes from a good family. His family knows how to fight and can help the MC out in a war situation. The tribe Zaki comes from is known for their bravery. That’s why in the kingdom they’re hired to protect caravan routes from bandits.

The Betrothed:

You’ll first meet these two ROs during your twelfth birthday party. Your father wants to solidify your right to the throne. And has decided a good betrothal will put you in a good position.

The player is not forced to marry the person they’re betrothed to. After the incident that occurred in MC’s birthday party, the player is free to choose whoever they feel will secure them the throne.

Name: Raita [F]

Race: [Depends on MC’s Race Choice]

Magic: [Depends on MC’s First Elemental Power]

Description: Raita is your cousin from your father’s side. She’s known to be reserved and mostly keeps to herself. Raita is an excellent gardener and spends her free time tending to the plants in the palace. Surprisingly, your uncle finds Raita to be so non-threatening that she can go in and out of the royal palace without first seeking permission . But even though she’s quiet, she’s aware of her precarious position in court and tries hard to not arouse attention to herself. Raita however makes sure to keep notes on what goes on in the palace.

Political Power: Raita comes from the MC’s family tribe but is from a different clan than the MC. She’s your second cousin to be specific. A marriage with her would solidify your family’s support of you and de-legitimise the vizier.

Name: Qaus [M] (*NB: I’ve yet to change his name currently in demo)

Race: Half-Jinn, Half-Nephilim

Magic: Levitation

Description: Qaus is the second eldest son of the king of Edom. He believes he’s better than his brother and therefore should rule Edom. But his father has other plans. So most of the time his bored and spends reading scrolls from scholars. He longs for adventure and a chance to prove himself to his father.

Political Power: Qaus is a prince. A marriage with him would create an alliance between two kingdoms. Such an alliance would be beneficial for the MC. But it also poses a risk as Edom frequently comes into conflict with Israel and could drag Jinnestan into it if the MC is not careful.

High Risk, High Reward:

So this marriage would be very controversial and has many pitfalls for the MC. But if MC plays their cards right, you can end up on top. So here are two siblings from the second powerful tribe in the kingdom.

Name: Suhail [M]

Race: Hinn

Magic: Wind Manipulation

Description: Suhail is known to be carefree. He loves going out and partying hard. Coming from a very rich and powerful family, he organises a party every week in his house. Most people don’t take him seriously. He’s seen as a goofball, a guy who likes cracking jokes at inappropriate times. And Suhail prefers having people think he’s not a serious threat.

Political Power: Suhail belongs to the second most powerful tribe in the kingdom. During the war of unification, Suhail’s tribe opposed MC’s father and allied themselves with other tribes who didn’t want Arabia to be united. But at the final battle against your father, Suhail’s tribe switched sides in the middle of fighting. They betrayed their allies and launched a surprise attack from the rear against their former allies.

This would hand a total victory to your father. And MC’s father decided to reward Suhail’s tribe for switching sides. Over time, the tribe became more powerful and richer. They’re pretty much distrusted by most people in the kingdom for their dishonorable act. But a marriage with them will give you a powerful ally. So powerful that they could consume the MC in their web if the player is not careful.

Name: Samar [F]

Race: Hinn

Magic: Wind Manipulation

Description: Unlike her brother, Suhail, who enjoys partying all the time, Samar tries to get people to take her seriously. She spends her free time writing and publishing poems and stories. She organises poetry competitions at her home and provides financial support for young artists in the capital. Samar uses most of her income for charitable ventures like building orphanages and giving aid to poor widows.

She’s trying hard to repair her family reputation the best she can. But she can be vindictive. She’ll use her power and influence to crush anyone who mocks or speaks ill of her family.

Political Power: Again just like her brother, she belongs to a powerful tribe. A tribe that could help MC instead of supporting the vizier.

And that's it for now. The re-write is chugging along well

A Spider-woman named Billie! 4

(Part 3)

The Hobies glares at Miguel 928 seeing how the bloke caught their ideas or fantasy. "You boys better relax. Having kids is a big responsibility." Miles 2020 stated, "Oh my goodness, they act like Alphas without a second gender."

"It's baby fever!" Miles 43 looks worried as he stand behind Miles 2020 holding Gonzalo 1015 in his arms. "Ain't no way we agree about kids!"

"Oh no, I have Billie to think of!" Miles 1610 said at his boyfriend.

Billie 1610 smiles happily at his brother being carried by Miles 42. "Ah-HA!"

"Me too but it's Gonzalo!" Mimi 1015 said. The Miles had their focus on their boyfriends while Gabriel turns to Billie.

"Where were you? I was looking for you everywhere! I thought we were supposed to stick to the plan. I take you here and meet up with Mari." He said with one hand out as he express himself about their plans before.

"Hey asshole! She's a grown woman and doesn't have to listen to you!" Miles 1019 scowls at Gabriel. The tall Spider-man ignores him.

"I'm sorry, Gabe. I wanted to try to do things on my own. You seemed super busy with your world and time travel." Billie looks up at him with her big honey-brown eyes pleading to be forgiven, her hand fidgeting almost being nervous.

Gabriel's mask to reveal his face with a worried expression, the whole gang gawks at his face. "Waahhh, no way!" Pavtri got close to look at his face.

Gwen and Miles 1610 couldn't stop looking at him. He look nothing like Miguel 928 and Miguel 970, in fact he had more of white features on his face. He had black hair with red eyes and creamy white skin, his nose straight and had more of a Prince Eric look. His hair looks like one of those pretty boys from the 90s. The wholes gang couldn't stop looking at him, looks like his Irish genes won this round!

"That's not a GAH-Bree-ell that's Gay-bree-uhl!" Miles 43 jokes using the Spanish pronunciation of Gabriel and the American version. This cause most of the gang to laugh at the joke.

Miguel 928 try to hold his laugher when he saw Gabriella looking so confused. "That's not a boy me! That's a white boy!" More laughter came out from the groups.

Jess said, "Um... your dad is Miguel 660?"

"Yeah, he's the white guy with red hair..." Gabriel pouts with one hand on his neck feeling a bit embarrassed. "Not my fault that one fourth gene won!"

"Gabriel, this is a variant of you of some form. He was born different..." Miguel said to his daughter.

"Really? Mmm, I guess so." She looked rather disappointed, she thought her boy version would look like her with brown skinned and brown hair and maybe close to her dad.

Gabriel said, "Hey, why I'm getting these kinds of looks!" He puts his mask back on, "Fine! Then no one can ever see my face, again!"

"No, Gabe. You're so handsome. It's just they aren't use to you or your dad being white." Billie 1613 said to him trying to lighten up his mood. "Trust me, I was surprised when I met Miguel 928! I didn't think there was such variety!"

"I wonder how Miguel 660 looks like then." Gwen rubs her chin.

"Very white." Marina 1022 hums to them, "Like really really white. You wouldn't even say he's Mexican until you hear him speak. He got a bit of that Latino American accent."

"How white?" Miles 1610 asked.

"Miles 43 called him, Leche."

That made all the Spanish speakers choked up with laughter trying to hold their snickering. Miles 43 giggles, "Mari, you're not supposed to tell them that! I only said that because he was so damn white!"

"Bruhh, like that makes me feel any better." Gabriel 660 scowls.

"Hey be happy you don't got redhead or else I would've called you, Ariel." Miles 43 added.

Miles 42 couldn't stop laughing, "Miles, stop! That's so funny. Ain't no way a Miguel is a redhead."

"He is... Idk where he get that Mexican pride coming from because he's gringo format." Miles 43 tries to explain, "And I know that sound bad, but I was just so confused."

"How are you confuse when we come in all forms of color?" Miles 1019 asked, "You called him, Leche!"

"Yeah because I'm Café!" Miles 43 explains, "Café con Leche would be..." She looks around, "Okay we barely have any light skins here... But you get me!"

"All this talk about coffee is making me crave for a pan dulce." Mimi 1015's stomach growling.

"Can we go now for lunch, mommy? I'm so hungry!" Gerald asked.

"Sure. Okay, guys. Kids are getting super hungry. How about we go to the cafeteria to each lunch?"

"Oh yeah. I wanna get to know my little sister, Billie." Gabriel holds Billie 1613's hands, "Right!"

"Right." Billie smiles at her.

"Oh me too!" Mayday said.

"Daddy, I want chicken nuggets!" Mariana 2020 spoke up being carried by Hobie 138b. "Me and-and- and mi hermanos discuss, umm-" She looks up at Hobie, "da-da, what's that word again?"

Hobie 138b whispers in her ear while Hobie 138c holds Aaron and Hobie 138e holds Karl. Hobie 138d holds a sign that saids, "Three cookies each!"

"Oh, chicken nuggets com-boo and three cookies each! Because we a-ew super super hung-wy or we will st-wike!" The toddler looks up at Hobie again to make sure they got all their needs met.

Miles 2020 giggles at the sight, "Oh yeah?"

"Yeah! Down with the system! W-epa-wations." Mariana 2020 holds her first out.

"YUS!" Aaron and Karl hold their fist out cheering on for their demands.

"Demands must be met for our kiddos!" Hobie 138d hold his sign.

Miguel 928 pinched the bridge of his nose, "Why did I have a feeling that them meeting those kids would cause problems?"

"Because they would fallen in love to their variants' children?" Petie giggles, "Peter was happy to meet May."

"Oh yeah, I was." Peter 616 chuckles. "Come on, she's cute." May giggles being proud of her adorableness.

"And do we have to remind a specific someone loving his own variant's daughter?" Jess hums at Miguel 928.

"You got me there." Miguel 928 said.

Miles 2020 smirks at the group, "Okay, because when they sugar high I'll let my mate handle them."

"Yay! We won!" Mariana said happily to Hobie 138b, "Tank-coo, da-da!"

"Da-da!" The boys also said to the other Hobies.

"When did they taught them to say da-da?" Miles 1610 asked his variants being so confused.

"That's a secret, Sunflower." Hobie 138b winks at him while holding Mariana 2020 in his arms then gave his variant's daughter a kiss on the cheek, "Right, lass."

"Right!" Mariana giggles as the two smirks at Miles 1610.

Miles 1610's face turns bashful almost as if he got baby fever. "Oh no, baby fever! Miles snap out of it! You're still so young!" Gwen said out loud with panic. "I'm not ready to be an Aunt!"

"Aunt? Miles is a man! He can't possibly have a kid unless some weird invention Lyla creates to-" Miles 42 hushes Pavtri, "Hush! Just say it's basic biology! The male anatomy doesn't work like that."

"Hehehe," Billie 1613 giggles, "Awe, nothing wrong about dreaming about being with someone you love and fantasize about their kids."

Gabriel lovingly gaze on Billie, "Yeah..."

Miguel 970 glanced over at Mariana still standing next to her even when she moves around. "Mmhhmm."

"Awe man, the O'Haras just got bad game... it's so painful to watch." Jess said to Peter and Petie.

Peter sighs, "Looks like I gotta teach them a few skills."

"You got skills?" Petie arched his eyebrows.

The massive group slowly walks to the cafeteria having to continue their multiple conversation. Miles 2020 watches the Hobies carrying his pups, "You guys are so good with children. I'm impressed."

"Aye, Jack Harlow, have people ever ask for your ID?" Miles 43 asked at Gabriel giving him a new nickname.

"Who's Jack Harlow?" Gabriel asked being so confused as he walks in the middle of all the Miles. They were suspicious of him still.

"You know, that song Lovin' on Me. Your vanilla, baby or you want me to call you, Logic?" Miles 43 hums. The Miles around Gabriel were snickering at the joke.

Billie 1613 carries Billie 1610 admiring her hairstyle, "Wow, you have such pretty hair, but... the outfit is weird..."

"I told Miles to make her cute." Miles 42 pouts. "And she looks so cute with that hairstyle."

"Hehehe, I like my tutu!" Billie 1610 touches her tutu even though she got on her weird outfit of sweats and shirt.

"I tried! We skipped laundry day!" Miles 1610 added with a slight whine.

Jess said, "Oh nonono, this won't do. Not with my baby. Right, honey? You want a cute outfit to match with your tutu." She went over to carry Billie, she expected her outfit seeing how terrible it looks. It was giving lazy dad on a couch, little Billie is a classy girl and deserves to dress cute. "Petie, you got any extra clothes for Billie."

"Hmm, I think I do, but May is pretty small." Petie went into his baby bag to find a cute plaided dress, "This one."

"No way, Billie needs something more cute." Miles 42 said out loud.

"I think this is cute." Petie pouts.

Miguel 928 look into Miles 2020's baby bag to find a two strap red gingham dress with one big bow into the middle. "What about this one?"

Miles 1610 said, "You guys don't need to find her an outfit, I can-" Miles 2020 said, "It's fine. Besides, those sweat pants aren't it."

"I know." Miles 1610 sighs giving up. The three adults were able to put a cute outfit plus with Miles 42 being the one to critique the outfits. It went from preppy, to princess, to girly.

In the end, Jess was able to give Billie a cute outfit, a pink top with white puff sleeves, and with a plain pink skirt underneath her tutu. The little girl wave her hand being happy, "Yea!"

"Awe, she's so cute!" Mariana 1022 cooed at the three year old.

Little Billie giggles being bashful. Gabriella happily poke her cheek, "Wow, tia Jess, you did a wonderful job!"

"You can say I'm a pro." Jess proudly grins widely.

All the Miles were admiring Little Billie's cute outfit, then Miles 42 carried her. "Awe, Boo-Boo! You're so cute. Finally someone gave you a cute outfit." She responded with laughter.

Miles 1610 rolled his eyes at Miles 42 being dramatic. Then he noticed Gabriel looking at Billie 1613, who cover her mouth having to giggle. "So, Gabriel... how close are you are with Billie?" He asked being curious.

"Oh um... we are-" Billie happily said, "He's one of my best friends." She hugs one of his large arms. They look like a couple when she gets close to him. Gabriel nodded, "Yeah, she's a very close friend."

Mariana giggles, "Awe, such a shame. You two look so good together, too." She held her holo-camera from her watch to take a photo of them. "Hehe, aren't they cute together?" She looks at Miles 1610.

"Yeah, I can see them together." He nodded.

Billie giggles, "You guys are so funny. We're just friends! Gabriel doesn't like me like that and I just got out a relationship!"

"What?" Miles 1610 and the other Miles became alarmed by that too.

Gabriel blinks under his mask, "Wait, since when?"

Mariana grins widely, "Oh yeahhh, you were busy with your time travel missions. Billie Boo was dating Peter Parker 1613."

"Whoa, everything is coming together huh?" Peter 616 blinks in surprise.

"It's bound to happen with all these multi-verses." Jess commented.

"Before you guys start freaking out. He was a year older than me, and his name was Peter Osborn... Technically Mary and Norman Osborn got together and had twins. Harry and Peter Osborn. Let's just say it was a messy family. I didn't know Peter Parker was so common as Spider-man, until Gabriel told me about it and I came here." Billie nervously rub her hand, "Haha, we weren't a thing, well he wanted to but got pretty abusive... I think he's taking that drug from his dad."

"Yikes." Gonzalo 1022 commented.

"Huh uh!" Billie 1610 nodded.

"Oh my goodness." Gonzalo 1015 added.

Peter 616 blinks in shock, "Man, these multi-verses!"

"Wait, did he touch you?" Gabriel asked with a panic.

Miles 42 got his claws out, "Where is that asshole? I'll kill him."

"Well..." Billie 1613 wanted to speak but she saw the Miles and Gabriel looking menacing like they're going to murder someone.

"Come on, guys. Relax. Let her speak." Mariana said, "She will give us an answer."

"Wow, a green goblin Peter Parker... today is getting better and better!" Pavtri types into his blog about a new Peter Parker variant for his readers.

The Hobies went over to listen while holding the triplets. They peak over at Pavtri's long blog. This guy writes so fast, they wonder how he does it.

Gwen said, "Wait, is there a Gwen Stacy in your world."

"Yeah! His name is Grayson and we're friends. I'm friends with him, Harry and Ga-Yeon. I met Peter through Harry. The issue was they are known to be the popular rich boys in school, so it was hard to hang out with the two of them. There was a lot of fan girls, and Harry always seems to be the nerdy one."

"Funny, I always thought Harry liked you, too."

"Maybe. I only dated Peter because he asked me out then something happen with him that got him tweaking. It was on our fifth date he took me to the movies, but his eyes were green and bloodshot. He took me to an empty freeway driving faster and faster, I got so scared until I snap him out of it. When I told him, I'll take the bus home, he threatens to hurt me. Luckily, I'm Spider-woman, because he grabbed my wrist leaving a bruised." She softly said rubbing the wrist where the teenager hurt her, "I got home safe by taking an Uber! I swear, he never touched me, again."

Gabriel's claws came out, Miles 1610 could tell he's pissed off. The way he hunched over almost like a primal vicious animal, looks like an O'Hara is showing.

"I'ma kill him." Miles 42's face darkens.

"Not until I get him first." Miles 43 scowls.

Miles 2020 grins widely showing off his own canines, "I do like hunting..."

Miguel 928 spoke up, "No, you guys stay! Your Spider-men! Well, except for you, but don't do it!" He points at Miles 42.

"I don't care. How can he hurt my baby sister? It's like saying if Gabriel got abused by a boyfriend. You're gonna avoid that?" Miles 42 said to the older Spider-man.

For the moment, just for the moment Miguel 928 had thought about it. His whole face darkens with cruel almost menacing expression on his sculpted face, this made Gabriella stare a bit afraid. "You're right. As you were." He finally said trying to calm down. No, he will never let his Mariposa be tainted by cruel abusive men when she reaches her teens. He will commit murder and knows how to hide a body.

Miles 2020 gave him a side hug, "Awe, papa bear."

"Why do you hug him like if he was your man." One of the Hobies felt a bit jealous seeing Omega Miles being very touchy with Miguel. They saw him hugging him, playing his hair and calling him, 'Papa Bear', it made them very jealous.

Miles 1610 said to his boyfriend, "Calm down, bae."

"But luv... if I see you touching the bloke like that I will go insane! I will- I think I will blow this place to the ground!" Hobie 138b said.

Gwen laughs, "He would like Hobie Pine blow up a sector because Meows was hugging one Kaine Barker."

"Oh my god, you met Kaine Barker! He's a dog, right?" Miles 1610 asked.

"Yup, a cute Golden Retriever." Gwen added.

"Awe, so cute. I wanna meet him," Then he noticed his Hobie frowning almost hurt being ignored and mentioning another Kaine. "Sorry, bae. It's just so many variants to meet!"

"Easy boys. I'm always flirty with Peter, Ben, Miguelito, Jess, anyone. It's who I am." Miles 2020 chuckles.

"That is true. Always flirting but respectfully." Peter nodded.

Miles 42 put down Billie 1610 so she can walk with Gerald and Mayday. Gabriella watches them, "Wanna hold my hand, Billie?"

"Yea!" Billie looks over at May being carried by Petie, "Fren?"

"Daddy, I wanna walk!" May finally wiggle her legs.

"Okay, honey. Stay close my me!" Petie set her down so she can walk with her friend. Then, the Gonzalos got down to walk with them. They were talking having their own conversation.

As the group have so many conversations with each other, one specific one was focused. Gabriel said to Billie 1613, "Why didn't you tell me about this? What if he hurt you? He's an Osborn. They're all tweaking on that drug." He places his hands on her narrow shoulders being so gentle with her.

"You seem so busy. I thought it would be stupid to tell you... besides I talk to Mariana and my friends about it. I'm not delicate, Gabe." She pouts.

He let out a sigh with his head lowered, "I thought you could tell me anything."

"I'm so sorry, Gabe. I didn't mean to..." She felt awful now, "I thought it wasn't important to share."

"You dating a jerk?" He asked being offended.

"Somebody is jealous." Miles 43 whispers at Gwen and Pavtri.

"Mmmhhmm." They nodded.

"I'm not jealous! Coño!" Gabriel shouted at them being annoyed.

Billie 1613 said, "Then, there's no problems. Are there rules about Spider-heroes dating? Did I hurt my canon for dating a Peter?" Her being so naive and unaware of Gabriel's crush on her made it worse.

"No..." Gabriel answered.

"Because Mariana was dating a cute guy too!"

"QUÈ?" Miguel 970 asked Mariana.

Mariana burst out snickering, "Oh, it was this guy... I think he was the male version of Black Cat. It was all flirts. We went out a couple of times then he left me on read."

"Gurl, you didn't fight him!" Mimi 1015 said to her, "I would be so offended."

"Meh, we were flirty before but I was never serious about it. Then I dated this guy who happens to be Lizard Man." Mariana shrugs, "Nothing serious."

Miguel 970 frowns, "When was this?"

"Recently. Black Cat comes and go whenever he feels like it. Lizard Man and I stopped dating once he became all evil."

"Recently? Why you didn't tell me?"

"Geez, these two O'Haras are hopeless." Gwen said to Miles 43 and Mimi 1015.

"Yup." Miles 43 nodded.

Petie saw Miguel 970 looking gloomy, "Miguel, maybe you should talk to him about how the young kids "rizz"." Jess burst out laughing.

"What?" Miguel 928 asked.

Peter nodded, "Oh I heard a lot of the kids rizz each other. I dunno what that is but it's like flirting?"

"It's a slang for charming someone." Miles 2020 added.

Miguel 928 rub his neck, "What do i say?" He saw Gabriel and Miguel looking so upset about their crushes. "Ugh, I guess I can give them a talk... or-" Gabriella went over to Mariana, "Big sis, why not hold Miguel like this! Please? I got a magic trick to show you."

"OKay!" Mariana being a nice person hold Punk Miguel's hand. "Like this?"

"Yeah! Okay," She claps her hands once and said, "You two, will be together! Now, promise me together forever!" She smiles at them.

Miguel 970 blushing so hard while Mariana thinking this is a harmless magic trick. "Okay. Together forever." She smiles.

"Pshh! Abracadabra!" She puff her chest out when she somehow release glitter on the two's hands holding showing a red ribbon pop around their wrists.

"Wow, where the sparkles came out?" Mayday asked.

"Ohh, ahhh." The three year olds gawk.

"Wait, where did the ribbon came from?" Gerald tilted his head being so amazed.

"Hehe, a trick I learn!" She grins widely.

Mariana giggles, "Looks like we're stuck together, Miguelito!"

"Ye-yea..." He blushes.

"Awe, so cute. Gabriella, do it to Gabriel and Billie!" Pavtri said, "I need this on my blog."

"Hehe, you got it!" She happily went to the two with the other kids to look at the trick, again. Gabriel being shy holding Billie 1613's hand.

"I think Gabriella already did your job." Jess commented at her friend.

"Hah, yeah." Miguel 928 smiles happily at his daughter being adorable.

"Freedom!" Mariana 2020 spoke to the Hobies, "We fight for freedom! For Ana-wchy!" Along her brothers chanted.

"Anarchy!" The Hobies cheers on.

"Jesus, this is a cult..." Peter 616 said to Miles 1610.

"That's what I'm afraid of..." Miles groans, "He always love his little anarchist, so I'm not too surprised."

"Especially when it's your kids." Peter hums. Miles couldn't help but feel his face red and warm at the idea of children existing between him and Hobie. Well, he is happy to find out there is a possibility and to meet them.

RWBY RWDE/Discourse Bingo

What's up, I know I've been basically dead for months besides RTX but I'm back to cause general chaos in the FNDM again. My first act? RWDE Bingo.

I had the idea for this last night after looking through Reddit (I know) and seeing that a lot of the FNDM still for some reason think that RWDE is a hivemind intelligence that all think the same exact things and agree with each other on everything. So I made this bingo board for everyone to have fun with! These are some of the RWDE topics and discourse I can remember from my long, long, tenure in the FNDM, and I have more, but this is round 1. If you think of any discourse or RWDE topics outside of this one, shoot me an ask or post it in the tags so I can do some more!

See which ones you agree with and talk about it if you want! Show your friends. Show your followers. Get out there and be the RWDEst bastards you can be! If- somehow- everyone in RWDE all pick the exact some discourse and don't pick the exact same ones, then I'll take back everything I ever said about RWDE not being a hivemind and give my capacity for free thinking up to the collective.

Gonna explain what each topic is under the read more considering a lot of these are old as dirt and some are a little confusing and probably could've been worded better had I not had limited space on the board. Some of them I don't agree with, but I'm still gonna do my best to explain them as unbiasedly as I can because I'm not a poopoo baby.

"Blake's slap was abusive." This one was about her slapping Sun during v4. People really didn't like that, especially considering that one of the scenes from the same episode was Jacques using physical violence against Weiss in an abusive manner. There are other conversation topics of Blake being abusive as well, but let's keep this one about the slap specifically, alright?

"Taiyang's arm joke." Remember that? Yeah a LOT of people thought Taiyang was horrible, no good, very bad father because he'd basically just made fun of Yang's brand new disability and trauma.

"Adam's change in characterization." Some people believe that Adam's characterization changed somewhere during season 3. That he went from being a ruthless freedom fighter to a genocidal maniac and jilted incel mad that his girlfriend left him.

"Qrow's Innkeeper story." People thought that story about the Innkeeper's skirt was super sexist and inappropriate for an uncle to tell his nieces.

"Jaune in a dress was a transphobic joke." This one's kinda self-explanatory. People thought that everyone laughing at Jaune wearing a dress was transphobic.

"Racism subplot is poorly handled." Again, kinda self-explanatory. Anything from Adam using his faction of TWF to join Cinder and Salem to Ghira being a bad leader to the story suddenly becoming about classism instead of racism to Robyn not being a fox Faunus, etc.

"Fair Game was queerbaiting/fridging gays." Some people thought Fair Game was the beginning of a budding romance and were sent back into The 100 CW hell when Clover got a sword through his torso.

"Snowbird is bad because Qrow is old." If you weren't around for season 3 you missed all the Snowbird shippers going feral about two attractive and of age characters finally sharing some screentime. You also missed some people being really weirded out by said Snowbird shippers because Qrow's in his mid to late 40's and Winter's in her late 20's.

"Jaune harassing Weiss s1&2." Did you think that Jaune flirting with Weiss back then was triggering? There was a ton of discourse about it and how Miles was basically using his character insert to harass one of the main characters and twist the framing of his harassment in a positive light.

"Sun is a stalker." Remember when Blake saw that robed dude following her and it was Sun? Who'd been following her for a few months? Yeah people were super squicked out about that and called him a stalker.

"Salem was right..." Basically the Gods were garbage entities anyway and deserved to get shit on. Salem was right to try, even if it got humanity 1.0 nuked.

"Rhodes deserved it." Y'all are probably like "who the hell is Rhodes?" That guy that trained Cinder! Yeah, remember that flashback scene? People think that Rhodes deserved to get skewered because he didn't actually do anything to try to save Cinder. He knew she was a slave working at the hotel and did nothing to save her and instead just told her to wait until she was 17 to join a Huntsman Academy.

"Jaune's screentime." Kinda self-explanatory. People thought Jaune took up too much screentime in the early volumes, to the point he rivaled most of team RWBY and had more lines than some of them combined. His plots also derailed the show because the bullying arc and the prom arc really had nothing to do with Salem or Ozpin or the relics or maidens, and that time could've been better spent doing more worldbuilding.

"Being forced to pick a side..." This one's almost entirely exclusive to the Tumblrsphere, but is this something you've felt pressured to do by any part of the FNDM? Have you been told you were biphobic for shipping Bumbleby/lesbophobic for shipping Black Sun? If not, count yourself lucky because you've avoided a LOT of bullshit.

"Waiting too long for LGBT rep." Do you feel that RT kept us waiting way too long for any meaningful representation? Especially considering what was promised to the FNDM early on in interviews with the CRWBY?

"Ren was an aroace bait&switch." People felt that Ren was aroace during the early volumes- especially after that "Please do nothing to the cook" apron scene- and were very frustrated when Ren did start showing romantic feelings for Nora.

"Amber's death was June's fault." Remember when Ozpin told Jaune to guard the door? And then he got distracted because his girlfriend got put in a box next to a comatose woman in another box? And then that comatose woman got an arrow through the chest because his back was turned? Do you think that was his fault?

"Rosegarden is bad because of Ozpin." Some people feel that Rosegarden is squicky because Ozpin's consciousness is in there and he's like seventy-million years old and Ruby's barely 17.

"Eddy's Freezerburn Tweet..." This one was over on Twitter. Eddy QRT'd a Tweet about "couples that would absolutely get a divorce" with "Freezerburn" and people were very angry about that and thought he was super unprofessional. Here's the link.

"Ironwood's s8 characterization..." Did you think that Ironwood's descent into a mustache twirling villain came out of nowhere? Did you think that it made no real sense to villainize Ironwood in the first place when Salem and Monstra and an army of Grimm were already outside Mantle and Cinder and her team were already inside Atlas? Did you think that that tidbit about his Semblance Mettle potentially clouding his judgement just to never be shown it was really badly handled? This one's kinda broad on purpose.

"RWBY/JNPR's stubbornness..." Some people think that Atlas being destroyed could've been prevented had our main characters just went along with Ironwood's plan.

"Weiss pointing Myrtenaster at Whitley." Did you think that Weiss doing that was totally out of line? That a soldier pointing a weapon at a civilian is totally unjustified? That siblings shouldn't ever threaten one another with violence at all?

"Blake running away was cowardly." Blake got a sword through her stomach, then was told by Adam that he'd destroy everything she ever loved. Then he dismembered Yang. Then, instead of even warning RW_Y about the threat, she just... left? Ran away? Even if you think her fear was justified, do you think it was cowardly to run without so much as a goodbye?

"Qrow is Ruby's father." Maybe you've seen this HC before, maybe you haven't. But people think that Qrow might be Ruby's real father. If you missed the discourse that his HC first brought about during v3 then I truly envy you, but if you remember the essay length dissertations people were writing about how mean and wrong and abusive that HC is, then suffer together with me.

"Bumbleby is abusive." You know all those weird parallels they keep emphasizing between Blake and Raven (how quick they are to abandon their friends, etc.), and Yang and Adam (how quick they are to lash out in anger, etc.)? You know how they're like, consistently highlighted in the show but not really addressed? But the ship is still portrayed as a positive one? Do you think Bumbleby's actually abusive?

⭐ for your edgeworth maya besties headcanon go go go :grabbyhands:

Astri, I love you, thank you for letting me lore dump about my most recent FranMaya!

This is for the ‘director’s commentary ask game’, if you wanted to know lore or headcanons or whatever about a specific fanfic, just let me know which one in the ask box or send ⭐ and I’ll pick a fic to talk about!

Anyways, this is for my latest FranMaya fic ‘my blood is red and unafraid of living’ and I have a whole fucking iceberg’s worth of lore for the fic. For those that may want to read it, after reading this lore drop, the link will be in the replies!

What you need to know about the fic: Maya is a Fandom Old and has been writing Steel Samurai and Pink Princess fanfics for a decade and is best friends with SteelEdge92, her biggest fan and beta reader (who is of course, just Miles Edgeworth, but neither of them have realized who the other is bc they’re dumb and it’s really funny to me).

Now, without further ado, the Lore:

Interestingly enough, Maya and Miles online friendship started off rocky and adversarial. Maya got into writing fanfiction after the Will Powers case, writing about the Pink Princess as a way to work through all the big feeling she was having after that case. Maya managed to grab the username ‘TheRealPinkPrincess’ since she learned about Pink so early. 

Essentially Maya wrote the Pink Princess as a self insert and very Mary Sue like, added a bunch of OCs (including a big sister of the Pink Princess, that Pink was able to save at the very last minute from a murder plot) and wrote Steel as Pink Princess’s gay best friend, writing something that was rather stereotypical, but not purposefully cruel, about gay men.

Maya was 17, had never written before, and was struggling with her sudden realization that she might be into women too (Penny Nichols made her start questioning herself), and that felt terrifying to consider the implications of, so writing Steel x Magistrate felt like a safer way to explore same sex attraction, than by writing Pink liking a woman.

Miles fell back into the Steel Samurai fandom around the same time (which he had been secretly apart of for a long time, but super deep in the repression) and stumbled upon Maya’s fanfics, since she was writing about the new character. Of course, he was very snobbish about fanfiction at the time, and normally he would’ve ignored something like Maya’s fanfic, considering it childish and beneath him, but at that time in the fandom, there weren’t a lot of people writing Magisteel (there was a lot of homophobes claiming they could only be ‘just friends’) and so he tended to read anything with Magisteel content.

He sent her a scathing unasked for critique absolutely picking apart the fic and completely going off on her about her accuracy at writing gay men and the gay experience.

Which caused Maya to almost give up writing. (She continued out of spite.)

It wasn’t until after RFTA, while Miles was re-evaluating himself and his belief system that he realized that ‘TheRealPinkPrincess’ was barely an adult, struggling with her sexuality and he had been so cruel as to tear apart something that she worked on so earnestly, (realizing that he had treated her the way he was treated at that age, and it felt awful.)

He found Maya online and she hadn’t actually blocked him and he gave a sincere and heartfelt apology. And offered to help Maya write more accurate depictions of gay men if that was something she wanted, without expecting any forgiveness for hurting her. Maya forgave Steel and they started a very tentative friendship that only grew and deepened as the years went on, to the point that Miles eventually sent Maya a very heartful message about how much being her beta reader and friend helped him through difficult times.

As Maya got better at writing, she continued the same story (it’s been an overarching series of one-shots and multichapters since she started) fleshing out the world and becoming a beloved writer in the community (at least for some people.) Miles is her #1 dedicated fan at this point, especially bc she wrote a huge arc that was almost better than the show that explored in depth the Evil Magistrates trauma and struggles and ended with him healing and starting a relationship with the Steel Samurai. Miles sends her essays in the AO3 comments gushing about her work, and they frequently exceed the character limit.

And that is the entire Miles and Maya friendship iceberg from the fic!

Also, I know you didn’t ask about the Cody lore, but you are getting the Cody lore too astri, bc I love him (Cody Hackins plz return in AA7 all grown up).

So, Cody 1000% lied about his age and got a Tumblr when he was 11, I feel this in my bones, so that he could follow Maya and Maya realized right away it was him and adopted him as her fandom little brother. He would mail her his fanart and she would mail him her fanfics (edited for 11 year old sensibilities). And once Cody was older he started posting his fanart to Tumblr and amassing a large following of his own.

At 18, in the present time of the fic he is one of those ppl that logs on once a month, also leaves essay like comments on Maya’s stuff, drops a single piece of insanely detailed art and then disappears for another month.

And that’s the Cody lore.

And one last lore drop, this one is spoilers for after the fic:

After Maya explains to Fran what is going on, Fran does take a look at Tumblr to see if she can do anything about the rude comments Maya is getting and sees SteelEdge92 defending Maya and decides to take a look at his account and see the user Maya is always talking about as her best friend.

And then in 0.3 seconds she realizes with dawning horror that this is Miles Edgeworth’s Tumblr page, bc he hasn’t changed it since he was 13 and she accidentally caught a glimpse of it.

And that neither her wife or brother have at all realized that they’ve been best friends online for almost a decade.

[oof-ouch-yikes-stripes]

Yknow, if I’m on Tumblr, I may as well use it to shout my many thoughts into the void. Today’s topic is Nesting Instinct, my theoretical submission for Halbarry Week 2023 (if I finish it) and companion piece for Bluer Skies, which is topgun but like. Whatever!! TG characters don’t even show up in this one, just get referenced a couple of times. I do what I want, and what I want is to turn my favorite characters into birds.

For context, this is a Wing AU where those with wings are called avians. 98% of characters in NI will be avians. All avians have inherent magic since avians are inherently magical creatures, but one avian from each flock got extra magic powers that helped that flock escape human persecution a few hundred years ago, and that magic is passed down from one Protector to another.

Alright, let’s bullet point.

- Fun fact!! It’s hard to write two pieces in one world for different audiences!! How much do I worldbuild if Bluer Skies contains all of my worldbuilding but is also miles away from being finished!! Does it even matter if I don’t anticipate that much audience overlap!! Or maybe I should anticipate audience overlap and I shouldn’t spoil things too much? Decisions decisions. It is fun for my POV characters to learn the same things in different ways though. This is definitely the Less Crucial piece to read though.

- Because of The Way Things Are For Hal (he got born into Hell for Avians ((Project Angel)) and as such didn’t get a real name, watched his best friend get nearly killed by and escape from Satan for Avian ((Morningstar)) and had no idea what happened to him afterwards, and then lived as Morningstar’s replacement pet for the next ten years), he is decidedly written as according to these circumstances, which some will see as OOC. To that I say, this is an AU. There is not a Character to be In.

- My darling dearest Barry, on the other hand, got stuck as Protector of one of the last terrestrially migratory flocks, with his special super speed magic, and has to deal with the challenges of being practically in charge of keeping his flock on the move and safe from the many, many things that would do them harm. This is especially hard when the main anti-wild avian force is on the verge of war with the wild avians.

- Circumstances cause them to meet!! Wild!!

- Hal is a violet-green swallow. They’re incredibly aerial and acrobatic birds, which fits with his prowess in the air. Their wings are also green. I considered making him a green heron, since his power set kinda matched with heron’s tool usage, but decided flying was more important to Hal’s character.

- Barry is an Allen’s Hummingbird. I was always going to make him a hummingbird, it was just fortuitous that I stumbled across one that is the Allen’s and is also reddish orange. I’m hilarious, I know. Hummingbird since, while they’re not the fastest in stoop or horizontal flight, they’ve got mad BPM and can be made Faster with Fast Magic.

- Wally’s a white throated needletail and Iris is a treeswift. Swifts, treeswifts, and hummingbirds are all in the same order, which I thought was appropriate, since none of them are directly related but they’re a family anyways. It’s not confirmed, but allegedly needletails have the fastest horizontal flight speed, so shoutout to Kid Flash for that one.

- On the other hand, swifts and swallows are not that related, but had a bit of a convergent evolution moment, and I Do Intend on using that to influence the dynamic between Wally and Hal.

- In case it wan’t clear, each day will be a chapter, so it’s so cool of you guys to pick prompts that work really well with the story I wanted to tell. Also shoutout to all of the DC vs Vampires quotes! Barry and Hal had like five pages together before The Inevitable, and they were five very gay pages.

- It was also very cool of DC to make Hal a pilot, which means that he fit into my preexisting au where pilots are avians when I got into DC after I got into Top Gun. He’s even got a call sign, which is extra convenient since avians born in Project Angel only get their canon call sign as a name since they’re seen as tools and less than human and all that.

- The thing is. Barry is a Fundamentally Nice person. That’s why Earth 2’s Johnny Quick is the furthest thing from a direct parallel you can get; Barry is not allowed to ever be evil. This is very good for Highball, who has never received a kindness ever.

- On the other hand, Nesting Instinct Highball is a survivor and trauma-hardened, which gives him the ability to be Not A Nice Person. Barry needs somebody like that to balance out his Niceness, lest he be overrun by the many strong personalities in his flock. Highball is also skilled and adaptable, and there’s something about a person who will do anything you say without complaint, probably.

- Anyways I have many more Thoughts but I don’t want to spoil any of the good bits. Hopefully I’ll finish it in time for the Week, and hopefully you’ll then read it. Maybe then I’ll even finish Bluer Skies so that everything in Nesting Instinct will get put into context. Wouldn’t that just be wild?

Strangers Things Spoliers but …

I know this isn’t going to a popular “tumblr take” but Will having (as of yet) unrequited feelings for Mile isn’t queer baiting, it’s a completely valid narrative arc.

The Duffer Brothers, or the cast, or the explicit text we get never suggests that Mike/Will are going to be together, neither would I agree does it use that as “bait.”

Mike and Eleven both have arcs that individually and as a couple feel complete: Mike is defined by feelings and worry of inadequacy. Socially, he’s somewhat accepted being “a geek,” but being a “regular” guy with a super powered girlfriend, he worries that he’s “not special enough” for El.

El, in turn, worries she’s a monster, that she’s a bad person: that she’s bad for Mike as well everyone. She can’t figure out how to fit in socially in as a “regular girl,” and she’s worried she’s a freak.

Will, on the other hand, has a very relatable (I think to most queer people at least) arc: that he has romantic feelings for a male best friend that (at this time) does not reciprocate those feelings. He’s also struggling with feeling like a freak: being queer in the 80’s was no picnic, as well as being deeply envious of Mike’s feelings for El, while also loving El as a sister and Mike as a best friend/romantic interest.

And honestly, I think Will’s “unrequited (for now) gay feelings” arc is done well, with a great deal of “explicit subtext.” The scenes with him and Jonathan are amazingly supportive without being too on the nose, and the obvious pain he feels at supporting Mike’s feelings for El (while hinting at his own) are very well done.

It’s also, I’ll argue, in character for all of them. Mike has always been a good hearted person struggling with inadequacy and … emotional intelligence (let’s say), El is a lab experiment who can kill people with her mind trying to figure out how to actually be a girl, and Will is a good hearted guy who puts his friends and family first,

Will could have taken that moment with Mike to try and direct that narrative towards his own feelings, at the expense of El’s. But he doesn’t because he’s a good guy who loves both Mike and El, and wants his friends to be happy, even if it causes him suffering.

Shipping an unrequited ship sucks, I 1000% get that. But not all unrequited queer ships are “queer bait.”

Mostly, I just want to express: the statements “the queer representation in this piece of media was disappointing to me” and “this media queer baited me” are not always interchangeable.

[kingdomoftyto]

While I'm gushing about NaruMitsu fics I may as well mention I also read Legal Partners recently and it's pretty freakin' excellent. Considering it's got more kudos than any other fic in the entire ship tag, I'm sure it needs no introduction, but in case anyone out there hasn't read it: Miles and Klavier make a bet over who can show their chosen defense attorney counterpart the most appreciation. Totally platonically, of course. Yep, super platonic. Definitely won't result in anyone making out on balconies or cultivating heartwarming domestic lives together or anything, no way.

(And the bet? Totally won't result in a huge misunderstanding late in the story which causes an avalanche of drama and angst that has to be resolved before a happy ending can be reached. Definitely not.)

Aside from the obvious Wrightworth fluff (of which there is a LOT and it is wonderful--WAA Trivial Pursuit nights are canon to me), the one other thing I would want to single out as a highlight of the fic is actually its characterization of Klavier! I've admittedly not read a ton of fic focusing on him, but the way this fic portrays him is way different from any other takes on him I've seen. He's a little more aloof, a little less socially savvy, and he's driven by a deep-seated distrust of others. No matter how lonely he feels, how much he wants to connect with Apollo and Ema, he struggles to break his habit of keeping people at arm's length. And... idk! I think it's neat! Feels more fitting for him than the relatively emotionally intelligent version of him I see more often.

But that was a tangent. All you need to know is this is an ensemble fic with lots of different character POVs, a casefic subplot (involving drag queens and puppies!!), and even some dramatic hospital scenes (!), but at its core it's that same old found family and schmoopy gay lawyer romance we all know and love.

My trip to Utah, Oct 2022

I recently took a trip to Utah for 5 days and it was terrific. I’ll post in more details later about several of these things. Here’s the highlights:

Wednesday, Oct 5 - Arrived in Utah. Who thought having a 1/2 mile walk at the airport to get to baggage claim is a good idea...especially at that elevation? I live at sea level, that walk had me huffing and puffing. 

I drove down to Provo and met a friend who took me to see the Roots of Knowledge stained glass display at UVU. I enjoyed that. He also took me for my first Swig experience. What’s up with all these drive-thru soda places in Utah?

Had dinner with a BYU student who had contacted me and wanted to meet

————————————————————

Thursday, Oct 6 - Had lunch with Allison Dayton who co-founded Lift+Love, brought my friend @loveerran​ along. It was a great conversation. 

Erran and I then went to the Salt Lake City library, which is an amazing building, and met a friend we’ve known from Tumblr & the Queerward Discord. That was a good get together.

That evening was a BBQ social at Encircle House in Salt Lake City. I was surprised by several folks from the Queerward Discord being there, that was fun to meet y’all. One of them said, “Look at all the older queer people, guess we aren’t the pioneers we thought we were.” My response was, “it’s rare to see older queer people like this outside of LDS adjacent spaces. It’s sad that something which saved them also caused them so much pain. And we weren’t out at your ages, you are definitely still pioneers!” 

My friend Ghost, who used to live in Florida, was at the Encircle BBQ. Had friends who are husband-and-wife who came to show support and I enjoyed introducing them as my “straight friends.” Having so many friends there made me feel like the Belle of the Ball. 

And OMG, Adam from the It Gets Better at BYU video was at the SLC Encircle House, he interns there. He’s cuter than ever. I am so glad to see him thriving.

————————————————————

Friday, Oct 7 - I had some appointments with General Authorities. I met with Elder Kevin Hamilton for 90 minutes, then had lunch with Elder & Sister Renlund for an hour. We had some great conversations which I’ll post about. They were all very generous with their time.

Friday evening, the Affirmation conference began with dinner & speakers. David Hayward, aka the Naked Pastor spoke, and he made a cartoon specifically for Affirmation! Sue Robbins spoke, she is a trans activist in Utah, and Michael Todd, a gay country singer from Utah, sang for us. 

————————————————————

Saturday, Oct 8 - I met early this morning with my friend Claudio Costa, an emeritus Seventy. He updated me on his life and newest calling as a missionary working with the Tabernacle Choir. I updated him on my life and he says, “David, you’re more LDS than most LDS.” It’s often that way, queer people who are trying to make church work often embrace their church and its culture very tightly, kind of becoming Super Mormon. Claudio also chides me for not contacting him months earlier about my health crisis with blood clots and says he can pray for me & put my name on the temple, and anytime I need to talk or vent that I should call him. And the cutest thing is he talks about me often enough that his wife will now say, “My friend David,” when she mentions me, she feels she knows me.

Affirmation conference began this morning with Roni Jo Draper speaking in the plenary session. Loved her remarks. She spoke about community and likened it to dancing at her tribe’s reservation. Everybody dances, don’t say you don’t dance and sit out life. Everybody has issues, don’t say you’re too chubby to dance, instead put your weight into it. Don’t get along with someone else, dance it out. She also said don’t go around complaining you’re out of shape, we can all see that, instead do what you can and others will do what they can.

The great thing about going to a conference like this is the new friends we make, finding people who understand and get us in a way few others truly do.

After the plenary session, I was on a panel and parents with LGBTQ children could ask us questions. I think it went well. We spent the first half of the session talking about trans people and transitioning, which meant I learned a lot but didn’t have much to say. When the moderator had us move on, the next question was aimed directly to me, how do you stay an active member and make that work? 

After lunch, I recorded a podcast episode with Latter Gay Stories. I was initially reluctant to do so as I’m not their typical guest, often they’ve recently been part of a high profile activity, or they have books out, and many of them have left the church. Also, I was first asked at Thursday’s Encircle BBQ to be on the podcast, and therefore didn’t have time to prepare (as someone with social anxiety, I usually way over prepare for things, so going in with no prep was a little unsettling). In addition to an audio podcast, they also release it as video, which meant I was filmed. I have a lot of body issues related to my weight, and being on camera for everyone to see was hard for me. Additionally, this wasn’t in their usual studio, but a makeshift space at the conference, and their portable lights made such a glare on my glasses that I had to take them off, which meant I couldn’t clearly see the facial expression of the host. Latter Gay Stories recorded several episodes over the conference, so I don’t know when my episode will be released

This day was full of hard things for someone with social anxiety, but I was brave and did all the things. 

I had dinner with a friend of mine, we spent 5 hours catching up, laughing, and having heart-to-heart conversations. We stayed at the City Creek Mall until they turned out the lights out on us. 

There was a dance at the Affirmation Conference that I considered going to, dancing is the #1 trigger of my social anxiety and I thought about going to the dance as a form of exposure therapy, but instead decided why ruin an amazing day with a bout of anxiety (and likely tears and going back to my hotel room to hide for the rest of the night), and instead stayed in the moment with my friend with whom I was having a delightful time.

————————————————————

Sunday, Oct 9 - Final day of the Affirmation Conference. Heard Paul Cardall play piano live!!!! Love him. His music moves me. Just as his music brings me peace, his words also settled well on me as he spoke of interactions with Ty Herndon, Glenn Tyler, David Archuleta, and a music producer whose name I can’t remember, all of whom are gay.

I was nominated for the Mortensen Award, which is the big award given each year by Affirmation. The bio they read about me had me simultaneously wanting to hide (thanks social anxiety), and also very proud.

After conference, I gave Nathan Mclaughlin, who is recently returned from his mission in Georgia, a ride over to Richard Ostler’s home so they could record an episode of Richard’s podcast Listen, Learn & Love. I got to sit in as they recorded the podcast, it was incredible to be there and witness that. For those who don’t know, Nathan organized Pride demonstrations at BYU-I in response to the reversal of the Honor Code change in 2020, and is the first missionary to come out publicly via social media, which he did with a Facebook post.

The day ended with me and several queer friends having dinner at the home of a family who are close to me. There is a wonderful story I want to share in more detail of a queer youth who came out to their ward that Sunday, and was invited to come over for dessert with me and my queer LDS friends. It shows that our Heavenly Parents love their children, all of them, and organized a special queer welcoming committee for this wonderful trans daughter.

The night ended when it was time for me to head to the airport and catch a midnight flight to Florida.

Backstory:

Crimson was hatched near a nuclear waste plant where toxic rubber substances and toxic chemical waste are usually dumped. Because of this, he was mutated into an anthropomorphic being with the capability of human speech and the power of elasticity from the rubber substances and other superpowers from the toxic chemicals. Since he was a half bird half human hybrid, he didn't know how to fit in amongst the other birds or humans, so he just stayed in hiding in the trees of New York town Square where he thought nobody would see him. One day, he saw Wonder Girl, Voidz, and Electrodog stop two criminals from robbing a bank near his tree, and he was so amazed by them and the fact that they had superpowers just like him that he wanted to join them, but at first he was afraid they would think he was a freak because of his appearance, but then he saw a third criminal pull out a gun on Wonder Girl when she wasn't looking and quickly took action to save her. Using his super speed, he rushed over to her, jumped in front of the bullet, and bounced it back at the criminal with his elasticity, causing it to hit them in the shoulder and drop the gun and save Wonder Girl. Wonder Girl and her team were so impressed with his triumph and bravery that they let him join their team, and thus Crimson, the mutant cardinal, became Elastabird

[jennanydots]

im a huge cats the musical and ds9 fan please tell me everything about the AU

hehehe thank u for enabling me I will do so ! (pls bear in mind that in building this around elecetera I have largely disregarded the canon relationships in ds9 simply because I think it is more fun that way and also I LOVE to talk so this is so god damn long)

this started with the thought that electra and etcetera doing the nojay consortium plot would be unbearably cute, so of course Etcetera is cast as Nog (excitable accidental mischief maker who grows into a brave little champ and joins starfleet!) and Electra is cast as Jake (still silly but much more levelheaded/quieter than her counterpart, a worrier, and grows into a writer! a little reference to my own hc of electra as a library cat).

"why would pollicles steal your homework?" "[head tilt] because they don't have ethics?" PRECIOUS

so then building out from there you get Bombalurina as Benjamin (which I think is REALLY cool also visually I think she suits that part and I think it's such a cool thought to cast her as captain and emissary over anyone else. I love her I'm gay). and then obviously you need Demeter as Kasidy (the obvious choice for dem would be kira but I think this is much more fun for her. hot and in charge cargo ship captain! (and of course this makes her Bomba's gf :3 and Jemima their as-yet-unborn baby who I'm not technically meant to know about cause I haven't finished ds9 yet but hey) aslo. just really super hot. I'm gay. got stuck thinking about int tour dem in kasidy's boiler suit lookin outfits and ceased functioning.). as I mentioned I also cast Munkustrap as Jennifer just cause u know. makes sense. and obvs Deuteronomy as Joseph Sisko! (honestly my favourite characterisation of deut always has that little flavour of grandpa sisko I love him)

then on Etcetera!Nog's side of this family tree we have Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer taking over hybridised roles of Quark and Rom! (neither of them are her parents they're her older siblings/cousins/idk but she's theirs to raise. I've kind of been mixing and matching what narrative roles each of them take so it's sort of a. they run the bar together, jerrie is the one to become an engineer, teazer is the one to date the Leeta, they take bits and pieces of each of the ferengis plots u kno). speaking of, Victoria is cast as Leeta (because victeazer 4eva but also beautiful but kind and deceptively intelligent is literally her. also that shot of cet and vic hugging from 98 but it's rom/leeta stepmom moment Yes). also I love Ishka and originally I cast Jenny as her because YES but now that role goes to Skimbleshanks just for the utter nonsense! (I know moogie's plot is mostly about stuff that can't be reflected to skimble but I'm again thinking more of the relationship to etcetera here and I think this gives the best dynamic! also teazer as the mommas boy and jerrie with the rough relationship Yeah)

this is getting ridiculously long so I'll try to be more brief with the rest! Tugger as Kira (bomba's right hand man!), Mistoffelees as Jadzia (bestie!), Cassandra as Julian (Electra and Cass's roadtrips to disaster!), Asparagus as Worf (look at me and tell me that humour/grumpiness isn't familiar), Alonzo as Odo (elecetera hijinks to cause him to sigh grumpily as Much as possible), Jennyanydots as Miles O'Brien (this one feels kind of out of left field but 1. I love her as cettie's mentor and 2. I would LOVE to see her in the kind of irritated distress obrien lives in. I adore her let me put her in the torture machine just a little), and of couuuuurse Jellylorum as Keiko! (mentor to electra! deeply sweet and caring but also strict and kind and oooooh!), which means Tumble and Pouncival fall into Molly and Kirayoshi's places (makes them even littler than elecetera as revenge for [thing productions do that irritates me that I won't get into here cause we're having fun]), Tantomile and Coricopat as Morn (but instead of silence to the viewers and annoying chatter offscreen it's eerie staring to the viewers and referenced ominious statements they make offscreen. this is deeply funny to me), then Macavity as Dukat obviously (boos and hisses), Grizabella as Lwaxana (beloved), finally Plato as Alexander (my favourite star trek character the ds9 writers Don't understand him like I understand him but this makes so much sense), and Bustopher as the klingon chef!!!!!

this became a very long post!!!! I hope you enjoyed it!!!! please think about electra teaching etcetera to read in secret.

#I have approximately 10 million variations of mixing up star trek and cats but this is one of the more normal ones <3 #op #do I dare tag this #cats the musical #au #electra #etcetera #I feel like I didn't talk about electra much here but I Do have thoughts about her it's just that most of them are mental images of- #-her in various jake scenes that make me feel All of the emotions !
