i can't leave everybody hanging who wants to know how this part ends so i was already in the process of a next part while slow rewriting a actual start to this story cause i have ideas for this story but after researching i see there are a lot of things not correct int he timeline i need to fix them but in order for me to do that i have to re-write it before i do that here is a ending part this story is far from over i plan to have it go pass the war and have them rebuild the world together Bakuyama power!

<# <# <# <# <# <# <# <# <# <# <# <# <# <# <# <# <# <#

Every single day it gets harder and harder to see not only Bakugo but the whole class. How do you sit in a classroom full of people you supposedly are supposed to be “friends” with and be the scummiest scum of the earth at the same time? This isn’t a real question, but the answer is all you have to do is be Aoyama Yuga.

He has the gall to come to school everyday and pretend to be someone he knows he’s not

He has the nerve to show his face, to interact with everyone as if they are equals.

But most importantly he has the audacity to sit next to all these kids everyday even though he’s a scum of the earth, a wolf in sheep's clothing if you will. He’s a pretentious prick who lies to everyone and he hates it!

Every single day he tries to keep his head up and act like the actor he was born to be. it gets harder and harder to do. Especially since new developments in his life.

How is he supposed to feel when he’s lying beside Bakugo knowing full well he’s the one who got him captured by the villains? That kind of thing doesn’t just go away, he recalls vividly being so relieved when All Might won against all for one that was the one of, if not thee worst-best day of his life second to receiving a quirk.

Still, enjoying what’s left of his life here isn’t something he’s able to fully do because of a valid fear of a man who he knows owns full control over his life even from tartarus.

All for one isn’t going to stay locked up, he knows he will get out and when he gets out Aoyama is going to be exposed for who he really is and THAT is what scares him most. He can’t even cry about it because it’s his own fault he honestly never should have existed at this point.

Hot tears fall down his cheeks, he can feel his nose is running a little bit too. Aoyama doesn’t want to cry, he doesn't deserve to.

He pressures himself into stopping himself from sniffling. “You do this because you want to what part of you thinks you even remotely deserve to cry a single tear?” He tells himself hushing up those sobs. He slowly maneuvers his arm from around Bakugo to wipe his face. Bakugo stirs and groans a bit in his sleep making noises but doesn't wake and that’s another thing. He could easily imagine the rejection on his face once he’d found out of his betrayal.

How Bakugo might react.

How Bakugo would want nothing to do with him anymore.

How he’d set him ablaze in seconds.

He tangled himself these sheets without a knife to cut himself out and now he’d have to sleep in this bed he made. That is truly what he gets for being a lying piece of shit bastard as Bakugo would put it.

A coward.

Aoyama’s lashes touch his cheeks and he tries to sleep off his problems. It’s always a temporary fix until the next night he wakes up destined to repeat his feelings over again.

Bakugo wakes up first or at least he thinks he does. He's flat on his back while Aoyama is facing him one arm across Bakugo’s chest the other behind his head in a loose hug. Bakugo shifts so he’s on his side embracing Aoyama.

A finger touches wet cheeks, Bakugo deduces quickly he cried himself to sleep and for that he has to say why the fuck? His face is puzzled as he glances at Aoyama’s face. His eyes are closed, obviously sleeping. Did he cry in his sleep? Was he having a nightmare right now?

Whoa, um is he supposed to wake him up? No you're not supposed to wake people up when they have a nightmare.. No that’s sleepwalking god dammit he doesn’t know what to do. He opts for trying to wake him cause he doesn’t want him to continue to be in a bad dream.

“Mon cheri what is wrong?” Aoyama speaks between sleep and awakening gently being shaken by possibly the least gentle person on the entire planet. Bakugo responds promptly and a little too loudly.

“You’re crying?”

“Huh?” Aoyama lifts a hand to feel his cheeks. Damn he thought he’d stopped. “Oh, guess I was.” He plays coy and Bakugo knows it.

“I guess I was my ass,” Bakugo blurts out sitting up. “What are you crying about? And don’t give me that I don't know crap it gets old.” Lying gets old too.

Aoyama has to play a card, he has many he just doesn’t know which he should or which one works on Bakugo. This one might do, he plays “pretend you really don’t know” on the table.

“Um, I don't know darling, I have a lot of nightmares but I guess I stopped dreaming at some point so I'm afraid I really don’t know.”

Bakugo looks down at him, can’t be happy about this but he damn sure looks good under him like this. NO this is no time to be thinking about that. Bakugo sneers laying back down and Aoyama is glad he doesn’t prod anymore.

“Whatever, don’t tell me the truth, it's not like I don't tell you the truth all the time either.”

Good relationships are based on honesty and trust. Something neither of them are doing right now. They should probably start doing that if this is going to last because Bakugo isn’t going to stand for that if they decide to take this further than just words and sleeping next to each other.

What if they really fucking mean it? Like more than just mashing lips together, moaning eachothers names? What if they both really want to be together after UA? What if they i don’t know fucking get married or some shit?? What the actual fuck is Bakugo trying to justify here again? Oh yeah talking about their problems and being real and shit.

Bakugo’s ruby eyes roll towards Aoyama to see if he’s still awake. He is. “Maybe…” He pauses to actually look at him. “Maybe we should actually do that.”

The face Aoyama makes when he voices this concern is one he doesn’t understand. Does he not want to be honest? Does he not want to be with him the way he wants to be with him?

“What?” Aoyama asks, looking at Bakugo with quite the expression on his face.

He wants to say nevermind but that’s going back on his word and Katsuki Bakugo doesn’t go back on his word. “Do..” He has to think about this for a second what kind of meaning he wants his words to have. “Remember when we talked about strong words?”

“Yes, I asked you what we were and you said humans.” This is a fucking joke and he wishes he would shut up.

“SHUT THE HELL UP YOU AREN'T FUNNY” Bakugo restrains himself from punching him (He was never going to hit him but the idea of his fist connecting with his face did make him feel a little better than talking.)

“You wanted to know what our fucking status was and i said i didn’t know. I said I wanted to be what we were when we first started talking, because it was easy.”

"Oui, I remember. Lovers of the past life." Aoyama nods trying to understand further.

"We agreed that that's a strong word and stronger words exist."

Aoyama is recalling this conversation more not that he forgot but it’s been a short while. With everything going on in his life he can’t be expected to remember stuff like this except he should be expected because this is important.

“You asked me if I wanted to be strong words together.. and” Bakugo places his hand over Aoyama’s feeling raw with emotion. Again ready for him to reject him and he doesn’t like before.“I said.. I said I wasn't able to because I was unstabled remember?”

“O-oui.”

“I’m answering your question better. You asked me if I felt strong words and didn’t let go when I thought you would. I still feel strong words about you. I still don’t know if i'm ready, and i damn well know i wont know everything i wanna know before the end of this.”

All attention is on eachother now, this conversation feels like it’s the most important conversation Bakugo will ever have in his life. Like it’s trying to get something across or achieve something he’s never before it isn’t like a battle or proving something. It isn’t about being better or winning. The name of the game is mutual understanding

And if “winning” is involved you win when you both understand each other's feelings enough to be together or some shit like that he guesses.

“What i'm saying is i don’t want you to wait cause i still don’t know how long i’ll not be ready or if i’ll ever be ready. You said you can wait a long time so that means time will run out eventually a long time isn’t forever so that means your time is precious and you don’t wanna waste it.” Bakugo analyzes old sentences, he never stops thinking about the way Aoyama talks and what his words really mean. Aoyama is so surprised Bakugo can say all these things like he’s prepared it in the mirror.

The funny part is he thought about what he was going to say when they had this conversation almost like looking in the mirror preparing a speech but not quite. He’s already ran a simulation in his head at almost everything Aoyama could say once he’s done spilling his feelings like a goddamn psychopath cutting open his victims except Bakugo is the both the victim and knife

Being rejected was definitely something that could very well happen in different ways. He could say something like “I’m not ready” or “I only want you as a fuckbuddy i don’t want what a real relationship holds” even “Being vague as shit about what we are works better for me and i don’t want any strings”

It’s difficult to put himself in the open knowing full well one of these could be the final say for them.

“I said we don’t have to commit to anything but I would like to. I still would like to.. I want to try. You’ve already given me a reason and I want to do this shit right not for me, not for you but for us and what we could be.”

“This is a fucking confession so listen up Twinkle toes.” The bed becomes lighter in the spot Bakugo occupied next to him; he now lums over Aoyama. Strong exposed arms on either side of him so he can’t look anywhere else except at him. “Being in a relationship and training to be a hero isn’t practical at all that shit’s complex as hell and to be honest like i keep fucking saying we should be i shouldn’t even care about dumb shit like this even after im grown. I should be caring about my training, catching the fuck up like Icyhot keeps saying. But I'm not. I’m not thinking about any of those things cause i’m too busy thinking about you.”

None of the things Bakugo is saying is a bad thing, it sounds like it should be but it isn’t. He is just being honest like Aoyama should be.

“You’re on my mind 24/7 i can’t not think about you and when i think about you i remember everytime we ever fucking interacted like if i don’t i’ll lose the memory of you and i wont be able to fucking remember for the life of me!” Bakugo drops his head, Aoyama continues to be speechless not even knowing where there’s room for him to speak.

Their foreheads meet and Bakugo’s nose touches Aoyama's, their lips are inches apart neither making an attempt to reciprocate what they know lips this close are meant to be doing because they are talking. WELL, Bakugo is talking Aoyama is listening. Bakugo’s heart beats out of his chest Aoyama can feel it in his hands he could squeeze it and be done with it so quickly it isn’t even funny how easy it would be to end this in blood drizzling down the both of them.

It’s easy.. It is, it’s very easy.

It’s so easy… it is the easiest thing in the world.

“Sparkles. Yuga.”

His eyes light up at the sound of his name. He didn’t even know Bakugo knew his name.

“If i’m ever wasting my time you’ll let me know right?”

This lodges something in Aoyama’s throat. Let him know he tells himself, don’t put him in a position where he’ll have to do something terrible. Aoyama thinks.

Tell him!

“Am I wasting my time?”

His voice is the sincerest he’s ever heard it be. He’s heard Bakugo’s voice take many turns but this had to be the most genuine.

“Talk to me.”

Aoyama tries to connect them but Bakugo refuses him.“Don’t kiss me, answer me.” He denies him because this is a more important question, these are vowels to Bakugo this is real.

Aoyama opens his mouth to speak his truth. “No time i spend with you is ever going to be wasted time Bakugo.” Tears form at the edges of his eyes, he's holding his waist, his arms are moving up his body until they are hooked in a way he can pull him into a hug when he’s done talking.

“My time with you is very precious to me. I speak no lies when I say I want to be the best me with you. Please don’t take me trying to interrupt you as dodging your question.” His thumb rubs into Bakugo’s skin lovingly. “A picture is worth a thousand words, no? I want to show you how I feel about you, please allow me to show you how I feel.. Katsuki.”

“Please.” He says it again when Bakugo doesn’t look like he’s accepting what he’s saying as truth.

“If you take my virginity and break your promise i’m going to end you i hope you know that.”

Aoyama smirks because who says something like that to a guy in your bed who’s also confessing to you. “Oui, and your mouth is still such a tool of destruction darling.” He isn’t smiling because this is funny. I mean it is funny but Aoyama feels like he can die happy knowing he took Bakugo’s purity away not because it was something he just wanted to do but because he loves Bakugo and he feels strongly about it.

He may not be in it for the long haul knowing full well his days are numbered running on borrowed time but he feels like he can at least enjoy the ride for as long as it lasts.

“Mon cheri, I will give you the best years of your life even if it is only a short time or a long time.” He hugs Bakugo to his chest so he can hear how loud his heart beats. “This conversation is like wedding vowels to you is it not? You don’t do anything unless it’s serious so I'm being as serious as I can be when I say I feel strongly about you, possibly even more so than you feel about me.”

He’s telling the truth, his heart beat doesn’t betray him, that is how Bakugo knows he’s being genuine.

Bakugo smiles, not smirks, not sarcastic not anything but just smiles.“That’s what I wanna hear.” He finally allows for them to be together the way they want to. Aoyama’s mouth doesn’t taste any different than it did before.

<# <# <# <# <# <# <# <# <# <# <# <# <# <# <# <# <# <# vague NSFW ahead

Good thing it’s Saturday and Bakugo has zero plans on doing anything else today. It might be sprouting daylight outside but inside it’s sparkling and shining with love and cries of pleasure fueled by passion. Aoyama holds Bakugo close skin to skin, clothes discarded a while ago. He spends the morning in Aoyama’s company, his first name passing through his teeth with emotions he normally doesn’t get to experience with anyone else.

“Katsuki” Aoyama gasps, moving hard and fast. His arms wrap around Bakugo, like the bedspread that isn’t covering them. They want to see each other and that’s exactly what they do.

Bakugo is going to be fucking pissed about cleaning up what the other blond did but that doesn’t matter right now. All that matters is how hot and close everything feels right now.

Aoyama smiles through his now messy hair, eyes glinting with satisfaction with what he's doing. (rather who he’s doing) Bakugo is already spent, sweaty and soon to be used up. His body is limp and the weight of Aoyama keeps increasing and decreasing before it’s so extremely heavy he can’t stand it anymore.

“Ahh, f-fuck!” Katsuki moans.

Yuga hushs him slowly like his movements.Katsuki continues to groan in response to him pulling him in closer so he can finish. Aoyama lets out a couple of breaths himself before their time is nearing its end. He wraps his arms around Katsuki knowing full well there isn’t anything else they can do today having expended all of their energy on each other.

“Yuga," Bakugo strains one last time, seeing more than stars.

Then that’s it, there isn’t anything else to discuss that is how it ends. Aoyama can surely say this is one thing he doesn’t regret or feel bad about doing in his believed short life. He does regret what this is going to turn into when the truth comes out.

Let it be known he loves Katsuki more than words can express and if there was a way to live his life over again in a world without problems he would change it in a heartbeat without question just to be with Katsuki.

----

My heart hurts for him, even though the whole traitor thing was fucked up, I can't imagine how hard it was to handle all of this on his own :(

"How is he supposed to feel when he’s lying beside Bakugo knowing full well he’s the one who got him captured by the villains?" this part hits so hard because imagine being the cause of hurting someone you love…

now I really do want to see Bakugo's full reaction to this when he finds out, I wonder if he will go still before going mad

I can't imagine the feeling of waking up to see your partner has cried all night without you knowing, without knowing the reason, without being able to comfort them through whatever they are going through, this situation is heartbreaking for both of them :(

not me all emotional and sad and Bakugo just goes straight for itjhcjldf no bullshit with him

"it's not like I don't tell you the truth all the time either." OH U DIDN'T HAVE TO SHOOT HIM LIKE THAT

NOT HIM THINKING OF MARRIAGE ALREADY

I love how you made Bakugo describe love or relationships as a game because I really do think in his brain everything works like that most of the time, he calculates everything in win or lose, even the most human and emotional experiences

OMG, HE WANTS TO GIVE IT A PROPER TRY, HE WANTS TO GIVE THEM A FAIR CHANCE BUT THE TIMING OH….

THIS CONFESSIONFUCKDFGKCJLCJFLJC MY HEART IS BEATING SO FAST RIGHT NOW FUCKKJKJGLJFG

Only Bakugo would think about cleaning during sexy timejkfkjf

well, I'm glad they spent the morning loving each other, love that for them!!

----

OH MY GOD THIS WAS THE PERFECT ENDING FOR ACT 1 JUSTOIDFLKFDLKSFLKSF U MADE ME SCREAM FR THIS TIME, I WAS BITING MY FINGERS OFF

OKAY SOOOOOOOO

I'm a huge swiftie right (hopefully you don't hate her), but as I was reading I thought that it reminded me of two of her songs and I want to share them here because I just love her lyrics and I think it suits this Bakuyama so well

so first one is long story short

"I tried to pick my battles 'til the battle picked me / Misery / Like the war of words I shouted in my sleep" - aoyama's breakdown in the beginning

"I was in the alley, surrounded on all sides / The knife cuts both ways / If the shoe fits, walk in it 'til your high heels break" - just the whole traitor situation, how he thinks he has to follow it until the end bc he "chose (was forced) into this role"

"When I dropped my sword / I threw it in the bushes and knocked on your door / And we live in peace / But if someone comes at us / This time, I'm ready" - since you mentioned wanting to explore post-war for them, I immediately thought of this part. I imagine Aoyama will always deal with PTSD and anxiety bc of how his teen years are going, so I can see him wanting to stay on alert just in case. The last verse can also be looked at from the pov of Bakugo, he will be ready if someone tries to take his baby away from him again

"Your nemeses / Will defeat themselves before you get the chance to swing" - I think this can encompass the war, ofc it won't be this easy but you know, it's a pretty line so I wanted to put here

"Rare as the glimmer of a comet in the sky / And he feels like home / If the shoe fits, walk in it everywhere you go" - I like this verse a lot because it feels like the difference between being forced into a role and now being comfortable where you are

this is so long already, but the other song would be ivy:

"Your touch brought forth an incandescent glow / Tarnished but so grand" - like cmon, is this not THEM???? they both have quirks related to light, explosion, warmth, and light

most parts of the song and the chorus could be used for very angst-based moments, but I don't wanna take too long on them

"I wish to know / The fatal flaw that makes you long to be / Magnificently cursed" - obviously about the secret, I'm gonna cry why is it so bakuyama coded

"What would he do if he found us out?" - the fear of AFO finding out about them, what would he do to Bakugo if he knew he could be used for blackmail purposes…

okay this next part is my favorite

"How's one to know? / I'd live and die for moments that we stole / On begged and borrowed time / So tell me to run / Or dare to sit and watch what we'll become" - you used the expression borrowed time and immediately this song played in my head because imagine after Aoyama leaves, both of them thinking of the time they had together

"So yeah, it's a war / It's the goddamn fight of my life / And you started it" - it's a fight, it's a war, it's their lives on the line, but also their relationship

okay, I'm gonna stop here but yeah !! I really am so invested in your story, I can't wait to see what's gonna come up next, thank you for giving me such a fun time today! i will make sure to keep an eye on the sideblog to get more updates <333

i need to get this out of my head before i continue clone^2 but danny being the first batkid. Like, standard procedure stuff: his parents and sister die, danny ends up with Vlad Masters. He drags him along to stereotypical galas and stuff; Danny is not having a good time.

He ends up going to one of the Wayne Galas being hosted ever since elusive Bruce Wayne has returned to Gotham. Vlad is crowing about having this opportunity as he's been wanting to sink his claws into the company for a long while now. Danny is too busy grieving to care what he wants.

And like most Galas, once Vlad is done showing him off to the other socialites and the like, he disappears. Off to a dark corner, or to one of the many balconies; doesn't matter. There he runs into said star of the show, Bruce who is still young, has been Batman for at least a year at this point, but still getting used to all these damn people and socializing. He's stepped off to hide for a few minutes before stepping back into the shark tank.

And he runs into a kid with circles under his eyes and a dull gleam in them. Familiar, like looking into a mirror.

Danny tries to excuse himself, he hasn't stopped crying since his parents died and it's been months. He rubs his eyes and stands up, and stumbles over a half-hearted apology to Mister Wayne. Some of Vlad's etiquette lessons kicking in.

Bruce is awkward, but he softens. "That's alright, lad," he says, pulling up some of that Brucie Wayne confidence, "I was just coming out here to get some fresh air."

There's a little pressing; Bruce asks who he's here with, Danny says, voice quiet and grief-stricken, that he's with his godfather Vlad Masters. Bruce asks him if he knows where he is, and Danny tells him he does. Bruce offers to leave, Danny tells him to do whatever he wants.

It ends with Bruce staying, standing off to the side with Danny in silence. Neither of them say a word, and Danny eventually leaves first in that same silence.

Bruce looks into Vlad Masters after everything is over, his interest piqued. He finds news about him taking in Danny Fenton: he looks into Danny Fenton. He finds news articles about his parents' deaths, their occupations, everything he can get his hands on.

At the next gala, he sees Danny again. And he looks the same as ever: quiet like a ghost, just as pale, and full of grief. Bruce sits in silence with him again for nearly ten minutes before he strikes a conversation.

"Do you like to do anything?"

Nothing. Just silence.

Bruce isn't quite sure what to do: comfort is not his forte, and Danny doesn't know him. He's smart enough to know that. So he starts talking about other things; anything he can think of that Brucie Wayne might say, that also wasn't inappropriate for a kid to hear.

Danny says nothing the entire time, and is again the first to leave.

Bruce watches from a distance as he intercts with Vlad Masters; how Vlad Masters interacts with him. He doesn't like what he sees: Vlad Masters keeps a hand on Danny's shoulder like one would hold onto the collar of a dog. He parades him around like a trophy he won.

And there are moments, when someone gets too close or when someone tries to shake Danny's hand, of deep possessiveness that flints over Vlad Masters' eyes. Like a dragon guarding a horde.

He plays the act of doting godfather well: but Bruce knows a liar when he sees one. Like recognizes like.

Danny is dull-eyed and blank faced the entire time; he looks miserable.

So Bruce tries to host more parties; if only so that he can talk to Danny alone. Vlad seems all too happy to attend, toting Danny along like a ribbon, and on the dot every hour, Danny slips away to somewhere to hide. Bruce appears twenty minutes later.

"I was looking into your godfather's company," he says one night, trying to think of more things to say. Some nights all they do is sit in silence. "Some of my shareholders were thinking of partnering up--"

"Don't."

He stops. Danny hardly says a word to him, he doesn't even look at him -- he's sitting on the ground, his head in his knees. Like he's trying to hide from the world. But he's looking, blue eyes piercing up at Bruce.

Bruce tilts his head, practiced puppy-like. "Pardon?"

"Don't." Danny says, strongly. "Don't make any deals with Vlad."

It's the most words Danny's spoken to him, and there's a look in his eyes like a candle finding its spark. Something hard. Bruce presses further, "And why is that?"

The spark flutters, and flushes out. Danny blinks like he's coming out of a trance, and slumps back into himself. "Just don't."

Bruce stares at him, thoughtful, before looking away. "Alright. I won't."

And they fall back into silence.

Danny, when he leaves, turns to look at Bruce, "I mean it." He says; soft like he's telling a secret, "Don't make any deals with him. Don't be alone with him. Don't work with him."

He's scampered away before Bruce can question him further.

(He never planned on working with Vlad Masters and his company; he's done his research. He's seen the misfortune. But nothing ever leads back to him. There's no evidence of anything. But Danny knows something.)

At their next meeting, Danny starts the conversation. It's new, and it's welcomed. He says, cutting through their five minute quiet, that he likes stars. And he doesn't like that he can't see them in Gotham.

Bruce hums in interest, and Danny continues talking. It's as if floodgates had been opened, and as Bruce takes a sip of his wine, it tastes like victory.

("Tucker told me once--") ("Tucker?") ("Oh-- uh, one of my best friends. He's a tech geek. We haven't talked in a while.")

(Danny shut down in his grief -- his friends are worried, but can't reach him. When he goes back to the manor with Vlad, he fishes out his phone and sends them a message.)

(They are ecstatic to hear from him.)

It all culminates until one day, when Danny is leaving to go back inside, that Bruce speaks up. "You know," He says, leaning against the railing. "The manor has many rooms; plenty of space for a guest."

The implication there, hidden between the lines. And Danny is smart, he looks at Bruce with a sharp glean in his eyes, and he nods. "Good to know."

The next time they see each other, Danny has something in his hands. "Can you hold onto something for me?" He asks.

When Bruce agrees, Danny places a pearl into his palm. or, at least, it's something that looks like a pearl. Because it's cold to the touch; sinking into Bruce's white silk gloves with ease and shimmering like an opal. It moves a little as it settles into his hand, and the moves like its full of liquid.

Bruce has never seen anything like it before, but he does know this; it's not human. "What is it?" He asks, and Danny looks uncomfortable.

"I can't tell you that." He says, shifting on his foot like he's scared of someone seeing it. "But please be careful with it. Treat it like it's extremely fragile."

When Bruce gets home, he puts it in an empty ring box and hides the box in the cave. He tries researching into what it is. he can't find anything concrete.

Everything comes to a head one day when Danny appears at the manor's doorstep one evening, soaking wet in the rain, and bleeding from the side.

#dpxdc #dp x dc #danny fenton is not the ghost king #dpxdc crossover #dpdc #dp x dc crossover #dpxdc prompt #man i just really need more dpdc stuff where danny and bruce have a good relationship. like man i NEED it. like i need to see these two #bonding together. and not in a cracky 'oh danny is a distant friend/cousin/etc' stuff but like. active participants in each other's lives #or as active as can be in this case. i neeeeed these two getting along and caring about one another #this idea came to me like last night and hasn't left since nd it was driving me up the wall to think about both positively and negatively b #i neeeded someone to hear about this or i was gonna implode #danny is the first son #tried to just get the general gist of the idea down but i definitely thought of the idea that bruce lowkey suspects vlad for having a hand #Vlad allows Danny to sneak off because he thinks Danny is alone. if he knew Bruce was there he'd be piiisssed and would put a stop to it #Sam and Tucker are alive they just got ghosted for a bit by danny bc he was in Major Grief and didn't wanna socialize. He couldn't go to #them because he didn't wanna put them in danger via Vlad.#oh that thing he handed Bruce? Yeah that's his ghost core. I have a headcanon (that isnt always applied) that ghosts can take their cores #out of their bodies at will and painlessly and without issue. and its common practice actually to do so bc they can be a not insignificant #distance away from said core before problems start to act up. and its common for ghosts to leave their physical cores at their lairs for #safekeeping because as long as the physical core is fine: so is the ghost. they can reform if their body gets destroyed. it also acts as a #fast travel sometimes. where they can reform at their core in an instant. its not inspired in the slightest by SU but i do see the overlap #most cores are pretty small for safety sake: its harder to hit if its small. and they're pr resilient too but its better to be safe than #sorry. so yeah. danny essentially gave bruce the physical embodiment of his soul and indirectly said #'if anything happens to me at least i'll be safe with you'#danny doesn't know he's batman btw #starry rambles.#was gonna go into danny becoming a vigilante beside bruce but im sleeeepy so i'll do that in a reblog. he's gonna go by nightingale if #anyone is interested. stereotypical but to be frank it is a *good* name imo. has a good amount of syllables and consonants to it #and the bird theme. and since its part of an ancestral name it has even more backing for it being bird-y without being meta

I wish the thieves had SOME kind of reaction to the Satanael awakening. Kinda wish we at least had RYUJI react to it….

I think its sooooo compelling to have Ryuji be the only person to witness BOTH awakenings; to see how much Akira and his will has grown since they first met. There was a raw, burning fury in Akiras core that recoiled at the injustice before him, and when given the tools to punish said injustice, eagerly accepted it with a wild, almost manic kind of intensity. I think it would be difficult for the others to truly grasp just how scary that was; that for a short moment, Ryuji couldnt pinpoint the cause of that rage, and the target of it. Akiras mellowed out alot since then, but its always in the back of Ryujis head; theres a side of their leader literally none of the thieves have or will ever see, and he doesnt really know how hes supposed to feel about that.

And now the airs charged in the same way he felt back in Kamoshidas palace; right as Akiras eyes widened at seeing him slammed against the wall. The blazing, untamed ferocity in his eyes from back then is replaced with a cool, calm, steely conviction. He knows his purpose; understands completely what his will screamed at him to understand back when it first started. This is the Akira the team knows, and its definitely the one Ryuji is used to now, but its insane to see the shift; insane to see the kind of power that simmered in Akiras core, literally too big and too overwhelming for past Akira to grapple with and set free.

Satanael comes down, and theres a moment, through all the excited screaming and hollering, where Ryuji can see it look right at him, and Ryuji is taken back to the floor of Kamoshidas Palace; not to the fear he felt when Arsene came forth incinerating everything, but immediately after, when Akira comes to with wide eyes and an outstretched hand- that bizarre feeling of safety, of knowing that this kid would have his back, and that hed never have to worry about where his place would be (its right beside him, obviously.)

#chattin #long post #pegoryu #OUGH #just thinking about Satanael leaning down to get at face level w everyone after the fight #and hes like #‘its been a pleasure to finally see you in person; chariot’#and ryujis like. finally?? HUH. *chuckles nervously* What Does That Mean.#like obv it is based off of hcs n shit but i like the idea that Satanael TRIED to awaken; like he was so EAGER to get out #and Akira was too new and still too scared to accept that (without realizing it)#so arsene is what manifested instead #like #akiras will reacted SO strongly to ryuji getting cornered that he almost skipped a stage #and satanael SAW the object of his (almost) awakening #hed be happy to see the guy who gave the trickster the strength to go through w awakening #and ryuji would be like im. sorry… but i think. i would remember. um. someone that uh. big.#hed be so flustered. like man. not again. i went through ONE awakening and took weeks to be normal again.#do i really have to go through it again? really? really ????????#anyway. rambling #ryuji was a disaster through BOTH of akiras awakenings. hes relentlessly teased about it forever

personal log, stardate 47329.4. i finally realized why i've had trouble sleeping the last few nights. yesterday was the fourth anniversary of the massacre at wolf 359... the fourth anniversary of jennifer's death.

[ID: 8 gifs from season 2, episode 9 “second sight” from the tv series “star trek: deep space nine”, the gifs show benjamin sisko and jake sisko within their personal quarters, seated on the couch.

1st gif: the gif shows benjamin from the side and jake from the front up close. benjamin has his arm wrapped around jake's shoulder. jake tells his dad, "dad, i... i love you." his is looking downwards.

2nd gif: the camera cuts to a different angle showing benjamin from the front and jake from the side up close. jake is still looking downwards when benjamin tells him, "i love you, too." benjamin moves to kiss jake on his temple.

3rd gif: benjamin kisses jake on the temple, he checks on jake to make sure he is okay.

4th gif: "oh, i have a calculus test in the morning." jake recalls.

5th gif: the camera cuts to a different angle showing benjamin from the side and jake from the waist up. benjamin pats jake on the shoulder and tells him, "then you better get some sleep." "yeah."

6th, 7th, 8th gif: jake pauses on the way to bed, he calls out "dad?" and benjamin hums in response, "hmm?" "i miss her." jake tells his dad, who replies with "me, too." jake goes through the door and the camera focuses on benjamin who looks at his chess board and reaches for a piece./end ID]

I'm like 90% sure if I don't get more of your ghost au I may just implode so like 🥺👉👈

not necessarily my AU but i ended up drawing smth based on a scene from @novethegreat's fic, "In Love With A Ghost". ooohhhh you wanna read it so bad ooooohh

+more google doc delusions ive had in my head for a long time and havent been possessed to draw under the cut please work god please

i like to think once yosuke gets over the whole undead roommate thing he starts to feel bad for leaving yu at home all day. (like a pet dog.....) so at some point he invites chie and yukiko over. maybe it’s a study session. but at first yukiko can’t make it so it’s just chie. yosuke tells yu to stay put in the room since chie is scared of ghosts (just like yosuke she’ll never admit it though lol). chie says that she and yukiko have been working on a new recipe and offers to cook which yosuke shoots down Very quickly, offering to cook himself, since a "friend" of his has been teaching him-- he very conveniently leaves out the whole undead roommate thing. but when he’s preparing the food he accidentally cuts his finger. yu forgets what he’s told and rushes through the walls into the kitchen scaring chie on accident.

yosuke: OW shit

yu: (phasing through the wall) yosuke! are you ok?

chie: yosuke! are youuuuuuUUUUAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHHH

yukiko, the occult lover, is unable to see/hear ghosts… but when she hears abt "OHHH HANAMURAS APT IS HAUNTED ITS SO SCARY ITS AWFUL!!! i mean the ghost didnt kill me or anything he was actually pretty polite but its AWFUL!!!!!!" from chie, she gets sooo excited and begs yosuke to invite her over (for the ghost obviously not for yosuke. which is a bit of a blow to his ego LOL). and she comes in with a ouija board so she can talk to yu

yukiko: so. where is it?

yosuke: his name is yu. damn, not even a hello.

yukiko: well, where is he?

yosuke: …right over there.

yu tries to play along bc he thinks its fun, to yosukes exasperation. however he has trouble staying solid for very long so it takes foreverrrrr. but basically i think yu and yukiko writing each other notes to communicate like point blank pen pals would be cute… also when the others are around who can hear yu, playing telephone with what he says to yukiko and fucking it up (on accident OR on purpose) would be rly funny

#this has been in my inbox for a WHILE sorry anon. im sure you must be a ghost by now too. lol #askbox #souyo #p4 #i wish i had more time to draw or i could do it faster but alas. this is the path i chose for myself.#(started working on another doujin)#(abt to lurk for another 100 years #side note not too long ago i read a cute fic on pixiv where yosuke was the ghost and yu was the tenant #and yu could see+hear yosuke just fine but ignored him for a solid month bc he was scared the spooky ghost would attack him lol #but everytime i try to tell my friends abt smth from pixiv its like #“YEAH ITS IN JAPANESE YEAH YOU HAVE TO PUT IT THRU GOOGLE TRANSLATE AND/OR LOOK UP WORDS IN THE DICTIONARY EVERY TWO SECONDS”#“BUT ITS MAKING ME INSANE ITS CUTE ITS REALLY CUTE ITS SOOO CUTE REALLY GOOD I PROMISE”#and i know it sounds really really unhinged so i try to keep it contained lol

I’m in love with how they are giving so many subtle hints about Alhaitham and Kaveh’s relationship and how important it is to Alhaitham, despite the way they always seem to be bickering.

Throughout the 3.2 archon quest Alhaitham tells us that the reason why he is so interested in helping Sumeru is because he doesn’t want his daily life to change. After that Kaveh starts being mentioned very frequently by him or we hear other people in the akademiya complain about how they daily argue.

Then, of course, we meet them both arguing with each other in the House of Daena, which was quite the argument. We also know many of their casual interactions and how they go to the café/bar frequently together. Furthermore, Alhaitham pays all of Kaveh’s bills (something no one would do for someone they don't care for).

And now, during Alhaitham’s quest, their tones were so soft (At least in JP and CN) and also domestic. Kaveh seems to worry a lot about Alhaitham and exchanges glances with him, which made me melt inside. I also love how Alhaitham is constantly smiling while bickering with kaveh. Remember, we dont see him smiling like this that often. Which means he really enjoys it. I really liked how after the second time Kaveh asked him if he is okay, he replied with a tease about the painting Kaveh had mentioned before. Also smiling.

But most importantly, something I see no one talking about: the moment when Alhaitham was explaining why he resigned from being the Grand Sage to being the scribe again and he tells us that “It’s important to keep your priorities straight”, the camera points at Kaveh.

I know this game will probably never have any canon ship because they need to make everyone happy, but we do get hints like this from time to time and I think this was one of them.

After all, why would they bother to add all of those scenes with Kaveh when the quests had already concluded, if not for showing us how is what is Alhaitham’s daily life he wants to protect that much? We saw how happy he is, how eager he was to get home and go have dinner with Kaveh. We also see how Kaveh had been waiting for him as well.

I’d like to know more about their relationship, even if it ends up not being romantic (though how do you explain that face Kaveh made when paimon asked if they are friends).

#genshin impact #haikaveh #kavetham #but anyways yes I write this and yes its 11pm and yes im obsessing over them #im so happy ngl Its like a fever dream #its so happy to know all of what I predicted from the message boards being true #I hope we see more of them #and yeah really sorry this is really long #i never do meta posts and probably there are some mistakes there im no expert i just ship two very gay men #anto’s rambling #i have to scream everything here because Im probably driving crazy everyone around me with these two #imagine me writing all of this to them #I needed to let this all out because omfg #LIKE LISTEN THIS IS WHERE WE SEE HOW NORMAL PERSON ALHAITHAM AND KAVEH REALLY ARE #LIKE just see how worried kaveh is over a messed up investigation from somebody at the akademiya who has already been arrested #no wonders Alhaitham avoided telling Kaveh the details from the archon quest and no wonder Kaveh didnt believe the little he knew #because they are just normal persons trying to get on with their lives #i understand alhaitham so much I would also want to keep that life

so like basically in the REIGEN manga tome tries so desperately to throw herself into the center of this literal Superhuman world she sees and play the role of the eager young protagonist and its so endearing but in the end reigen has to come clean and she can’t keep using the spiritual premise as a crutch. not because she was wrong to have her whimsical interests, but because the fantasy of specialness can often be an escape from the isolation a person feels due to being unable to live up to societal ideals of normalcy, and yet in the end the fantasy can itself end up feeding directly into the isolation by obscuring your view of the other people in your life. you cannot prioritize the idea of being unique or special alone and that is the reason that the power structures in the story (as represented by roshuuto in REIGEN) so frequently fail short; because actually EVERYONE is a Pathetic Freak Weirdo Nerd Loser, from the handsome, popular rich boy, to the pretentious Dark!Reigen foil who takes himself too seriously, to all of the mundane teenage girls who the audience is initially tricked into dismissing as shallow, but also by the same token EVERYONE deserves to be loved and feel supported.

because actually bonds with other people are the most important thing, and centrally this is also why REIGEN relies so heavily on bonds with others as something to create horror. the evil spirit mimics the voices of the ones you love and lures you in and when you’re at your most lost and scared and in need, that’s when you turn around and the face of the person you trust betrays you. tome only contracts the fatal curse in the first place because she cared about reigen and went back to make amends with him. because that’s the most horrifying, most terrifying thing, the thing that renders you absolutely helpless, isn’t it? it’s letting yourself rely on others and trust them to the point that it leaves you vulnerable, isn’t it? but you have to do it, if you want to achieve true connection then you can’t continue keeping up a veneer of Specialness and posturing as someone you’re not no matter how afraid you are of being seen as your true self. that’s the idea that really connects tome and reigen above all else. you have to be who you really are and you have to trust that you’ll be loved for it. and that’s horrifying! that’s an unimaginable, Forbidden terror! but it’s necessary.

and also I think it’s so clever how REIGEN conveys this by only bringing in shigeo kageyama, the protagonist and most recognizable character who the reader has so many preconceived notions of, in at the last moment as a terrifying ghost who is impersonating him. I mean also it’s partially because shigeo can easily be made to look scary lol, because let’s be real, he can be pretty goddamn scary /hj BUT MOSTLY it’s to have him in his uniform, in his most recognizable and iconic form that the reader will cling to, and then have it be blown away by the post-canon shigeo, the real shigeo, the shigeo who has grown and changed and is no longer stuck in the role he once was. because to be vulnerable with others you have to grow and change and do away with old pretenses and dynamics that you’ve become dependent on. it can be scary to stop playing roles after you’ve grown use to them for so long, but you don’t need them - your most honest self will be the most loved. and also I love how just like tome could tell that it was the real reigen bcause he immediately ran into a spiderweb and yelled, you can tell that it’s the real shigeo because he’s immediately rude as fuck and he and reigen literally instantly go into their mean pithy little affectionate banter lol ok sorry anyway.

and also because you cannot really be any more or less special than anyone else and you need bonds with others, it’s true both that you have to rely on other people, but also that you owe it to them to be kind. reigen is literally a normal person working in the spirit business, so he has to rely on other people with the necessary abilities, such as dimple the spirit and serizawa the psychic, yes, but he also does his part to take care of the people who matter to him. roshuuto is so focused on appearances and power - as shown by how he goes on and on about connections - but when it comes down to it, he was not willing to save others (leaving hoshido in Reliance), and so nobody bothered trying to save him in turn. he only abandoned, and was abandoned. this is shown most acutely in the end by how roshuuto “has no other option” but to pass his curse on to someone else to save himself, while reigen “has no other option” to take on a curse to save someone else. reigen and serizawa accepting their responsibility as adults to protect the children around them is an extension of the idea that you are equal to everyone and are obligated to be kind to your loved ones and recieve kindness in turn. anyway mutual trust and communication is all that matters and tome kurata is The protagonist of all time Sorry,

#reigen manga #mob psycho 100 #mp100 #mine #reigen spoilers #tome #reigen #shigeo #roshuuto #long post #REALLY LONG POST IM SO SORRY and its not even good analysis its just word vomit im #my dad bought me a copy of REIGEN for valentines and I reread it all in one sitting I feel stark raving mad rn
