It's an improvement
This isn't a request. But It's a good idea I want to write for. It's just going to be short and my ideas on it. TADC Crew x Therapist Reader
Caine
Caine really really appreciates you. You keep people alive, AND you are someone who professionally knows about humans and how they work so you can teach him stuff. He's constantly asking you questions, and existing around you seeing how you act. Just since your arrival no one has abstracted, and the adventures and circus as a whole are much more hospitable. You truly are the person the circus needed to be, well to be ok. At least for now. But all these people's problems, this AI trying to learn about humans from you, the stress of the fact you're now in a digital world. It's a lot. You can save them, but no one is going to save you. And you just have to deal with that. This world needs you, and if you go. Then so does it.
Gangle
You helped Gangle with her insecurity and self worth. You got her to be more confident and stand up for herself. Something she honestly loves you for. So she asked you out, she just felt so cared for and loved around you. You said no cause you don't date your patients, she was hurt but didn't blame you. But she relapsed into old bad habits, this time without you to help her out of them. She started all together avoiding you. It was just hard to look you in the face when you know all her deepest secrets, and the fact that she has feelings for you. At first you made the circus easier, better even. Now you make it harder for her. And Gangle blames no one but herself for all that's happening to her. Even starts to feel like she deserves it. "If I don't deserve this, then why does this always happen."
Zooble
Zooble would probably hate you at first. You show up and start telling her everything she's doing wrong. That isn't actually what you do but that's what it feels like to her. When, or rather if she gives you a chance you could genuinely help her. She still wont be nice to the others or you, but you can help her out in the long run. At least not for a while. But you might make her able to make friends. Which at the moment she'll say she doesn't need others. But no one can survive alone forever. And despite that being what she wants and what she says, that still applies to her.
Kinger
Honestly weirdly enough you don't help Kinger. He may be seen as crazy but he's still alive, and he isn't going anywhere anytime soon. He's lived in this world for so long and has found a way of life that works. He honestly doesn't need help, at least not while still in here. Once out in the real world he will though. He doesn't need help though. He just needs a friend. Someone to casually talk to. Someone to hang out with. Someone who wont call him crazy. And you're more then happy to be that friend. And because you aren't patient and doctor something could actually stem from that. If you both want that at least.
Ragatha
You two are a power duo here. You keep everyone ok, she helps out more as a low down friend type person, and you as a professional. You two alone keep the circus running and people alive. And despite how much Ragatha insists that she doesn't need help/sessions she does. She's a tough cookie and wont admit it, but you can still get through to her. Despite what she says she needs it. So keep working hard. All you need is her to trust you, and you to constantly pester her about it. And eventually she'll break and let you help her.
Jax
Jax is going to openly agree to getting your help. At first he just planned on using it as a way to mess with you. But then you actually made him realize a lot and actually start helping within not a lot of time passage. Then he started genuinely going to your sessions. And with enough time and hard work he turned into an amazing person to be around. He's still vulgar and often rude. But he doesn't bully anymore, and actually goes out of his way to make others days better. You know you two aren't related but you're proud of him. He made so much progress and genuinely improved. And sure you helped. But you can't improve unless you want to. So the fact that he made that much progress especially in such a short time shows that he isn't a horrible person, he just didn't know better.
Pomni
Thank f#$%. She needs this so badly. You help her out with her anxiety, a lot. You know this place isn't good but you help her get at least kind of used to it despite you getting here after her. She'll still look for an exit but she feels like it's actually possible now with your support. Before she was just frantic and panicking. But now it feels like a genuine and attainable goal. With time and effort she starts to calm down and feel, happy! Feel calm. It's a strange sensation to her, but not bad strange. And once she does calm down she starts really appreciating smaller things. "Like sure this place is a prison and I'm here unwillingly. But not much I can do about that. And it is really pretty outside today. And while I'm here I don't have to worry like back in the real world. Nothing is expected of me. All I have to do is just exist. I can do that."
(I enjoyed writing this. And will maybe expand upon this in the future. Maybe. I still have a whole lot of requests to get through.)
xoxo, Jester

maybe i’m biased but honestly the kenji vs tetchou fight may be my favourite in all of bsd (which is a hard choice since there are so many good ones)
Tumblr media
first off, the animation of it was easily the best i’ve seen in the anime. it looked really intense and i absolutely adore it. the sound design was also great as well as the line delivery.
story wise, i think the fact that they both made sure nobody was around before fighting to keep people safe was very in-character for them both. you could also tell neither of them initially wanted to fight but tetchou attacked because the book makes the agency appear guilty no matter what. yet he was still kind when talking to to kenji and kenji was kind back prior to and after the fight.
tetchou was also clearly distracted by jouno being gone to the point where he pushed justice (the thing he pretty much always prioritizes) aside in favour of helping jouno. that shows how much he cares and how worried he was. that puts a heavy emotional impact on the fight, the fact that tetchou was clearly desperate to save jouno quickly with literal justice on the line.
in contrast, kenji went up against the man who had already stabbed him numerous times before and was still kind and listened to him talk first. kenji is probably the nicest character in the entire series, he offered to help the man who tried to kill him and his friends. the fact that he could calm his anger after and still be completely willing to help tetchou shows a lot about kenji as a person. for a 14 year old, kenji is extremely mature and gentle for being willing to help after all of that.
they both could have easily fought until one was dead, but tetchou admitted his mistakes and offered his life to kenji because he realized he had failed. yet kenji seen the sincerity of that and offered to help him despite the fact that they were on the verge of killing each other.
they ended up bonding at the end. it genuinely made me so happy to see this animated, both admitting they had made mistakes and agreed to help each other. which means tetchou has likely broken the writing of the book by thinking clearly, much like how ranpo said the police could do in the first episode of season five.
i really hope we get to see them searching together soon, the two have very close morals and i could see a good friendship form between them. i feel like they’d make an insanely powerful duo in the future as well, i would love to see tetchou mentoring kenji.

"kenji. to have learned that name…was my greatest accomplishment of the day."

Beauty and the Booze - Grog Strongjaw x Dragonborn Reader
Tumblr media
Vox Machina arrived in a new town just as night was falling. They were all tired, hungry, and magically burnt out. Grog had already decided many miles ago that his allies were in need of ale. The group headed for the local tavern only to see a large crowd gathered around the entrance.
Our heroes asked one man, "what's this here, friend?"
"A weekly ritual at this point, stranger," he replied. "Another dumb schmuck has challenged (y/n)."
"(y/n)?"
"The blacksmith's daughter."
With his great strength and might need for booze, Grog plowed through the crowd. The goliath's companions follow behind. Once inside, the adventurers take in the sight of two figures sitting across from each other with several empty mugs and a number of spectators strewn about them.
On the left is the challenger; a large man nearly seven feet tall. To the right, the reigning champion, (y/n); a dragonborn lass with shining golden scales and sharp curving horns. Her smaller stature doesn't seem to deter her from downing multiple rounds of alcohol.
Grog gazes at the hardy female, feeling both impressed and infatuated. He couldn't help but stare as the ale dribbles down her chin and onto her chest, soaking into her soot-covered shirt.
The challenger seemed to be near his limit. Onlookers could see the man going pale. Moments later, he rushes from the building to unload his insides on the outside streets.
The bar erupts in a roar of rowdy cheers as their champion arose from her seat, pumping her fists in victory.
"She's perfect," Grog swooned. Pike looked up at her lovestruck friend and smiled.
"Well lads," the draconic dame chuckled proudly, "it's been fun but I gotta head out."
She began making her exit tipsily, bumping into our heroes and unintentionally tapping shoulders with Grog.
"Oh, sorry about that, bud," she said. Grog just stood there slack-jawed and with even less brain power than usual. "Right." She moved past the crowd and began making the trek back to her own home.
Percy went to the tavern owner and acquired a couple rooms for his party. Room 1: Percy, Vex, Vax, Keyleth. Room 2: Pike, Scanlan, Grog.
Most of the party were able to knock out pretty easily while one remained awake. Grog couldn't get (y/n) out of his head. She was everything he could've ever wanted, but judging by their interaction downstairs, he didn't know how to approach his feelings.
The goliath nudged Scanlan awake. The gnome groaned, looking up at his friend with tired eyes. "Ugh, Grog, it's late. What do you want?"
"I need to ask you something," Grog explains, "do you uh...do you believe in love at first sight?"
Upon learning that this was a romantic matter, Scanlan sat up from his cot. "Well buddy," he began, "if you look just a little bit to your left you'll have your answer."
The duo moved their vision towards the sleeping form of Pike.
"I don't get it," Grog responds.
Scanlan refrains from smacking his own forehead at his friend's utter obliviousness. "Yes, Grog. Yes I do."
"Okay. And say you want to try to impress the person you're in love with. What would you do?"
"Well, going by my own talents, I'd most likely spin a heartfelt song for them. But that's me. You need to think about what you're good at."
"Hmm...fighting, smashing things...fighting...and drinking. Oh my gods. Scanlan I think I just had an amenity."
"I think you mean epiphany," Scanlan commented.
"Yeah that too"
With the situation supposedly remedied, the two friends returned to their sleep.
--
The next morning, Grog conspired with his two gnome friends on how to get (y/n)'s attention. The plan was for Grog to be the next person to challenge the object of his affection to a drinking contest.
The downside was that Grog was in no position to talk to her when out of his element. Instead, Scanlan was sent as a singing telegram to the daughter of the blacksmith.
Scanlan entered the smith's shop, its walls and shelves filled to the brim with well-grafted weapons and armor. His eyes first take notice of a towering dragonborn working at the forge.
"Um, hey there," he said awkwardly.
The draconic male stepped away from his tools and greeted him saying, "good day, my small friend. How can I help ye today?"
"I come on behalf of a lovestruck goliath."
"Well you may tell them I'm flattered but I'm already married."
"Well actually his affections are directed to your daughter."
"(y/n)? How unforeseen. Very well. (y/n)!"
(y/n) enters the shop from the back door dressed in full artificer's regalia. "What is it, dad?"
"This gnome apparently has a message for you from a friend."
(y/n) looked curiously as Scanlan retrieved his lute.
♫ my dear beauty with the golden scales,
meet me tonight for a round of ale
I've seen the might of your drinking skills
let's see who has the greater will ♫
(y/n) was stunned. Never had she received a challenge in song form and certainly not one with romantic undertones.
With an intrigued chuckle she says, "tell your friend that I happily accept his challenge."
"Great," Scanlan said with a grin, "thank you. I'll be on my way now."
Scanlan exited the shop just as (y/n)'s mother entered.
"What was all that now?" she asked.
"Our daughter has a date," the father answered.
--
Later in the evening, everyone gathered at the tavern to witness the challenge. Grog was sitting at the bar, feeling anxious. Pike gave her friend some words of encouragement. In that moment, Grog decided he needed a starter. He ordered himself a pint, filling his body with liquid courage. The townsfolk announced (y/n)'s arrival at the tavern.
"Alright," she said with confidence, "who among you has challenged me?"
Swallowing down his starter, Grog stood up and said awkwardly, "uh, that'd be me."
"Oh yes, I remember you from the night before. I'm flattered by your rather unorthodox message."
Grog felt a warmth in his face that for once in his life didn't come from booze.
"I see you've already given yourself a head start," (y/n) commented, noticing the large mug in her challenger's hand. Grog embarrassingly tosses aside his mug (nearly clocking some poor soul in the face) before moving to one of the large tables. (y/n) took her seat across from him as the barkeep came over.
"House rules," they began, "first to puke or pass out loses."
"Good luck," (y/n) says.
The barkeep brings over the first round and the battle of the booze begins. The two appear equally matched as stacks of empty mugs begin to pile up. (y/n) seems to move at a slightly faster pace. A half-hour passes by as (y/n) takes the time to compliment Grog.
"I must say," the gold scaled girl says, "I don't think I've had anyone keep up with me. Color me impressed."
Grog tries to keep his composure at her words, focusing on his drinking.
Tensions rose at the top of the hour, the locals cheering for (y/n) while Vox Machina (specifically Pike and Scanlan) calling out to Grog.
"This goes on much longer and tavern will be completely cleaned out," Percy commented.
"Wouldn't be the first time," Vex added.
"Indeed."
The tavern was in fact on their last barrel. (y/n) winced slightly while promising to heavily compensate for the amount of ale she and Grog had been running through. She looks to her opponent who has been double fisting for the past few rounds. With a slip of the hand, (y/n) toppled over, knocking her head on the table.
There was a long silence as all gazed in awe. The townsfolk were in shock as their long time champion lay buzzed out on the floor.
"Fuck yeah!" Scanlan hollered, breaking the silence.
"Woo, Grog!" Pike shouted out. They rushed to their victorious friends.
Grog himself was almost in disbelief. He didn't feel like he had to win the challenge. To him, he had already won back when (y/n) had spoken her words of admiration. On the subject of (y/n), she slowly came to, groaning in pain.
"Pike," Grog gestured to his friend. The cleric understood what he was trying to communicate.
Pike wanders over to the inebriated dragonborn and uses her magic to heal her.
(y/n) came to asking, "What happened?"
"You...you lost," one of the bystanders answered, still shocked.
"Lost?" she turned to Grog who gave an awkward wave. She chuckled and said walked over to him. "I seem to have been bested. I congratulate you Mr..."
"Uh Grog. Grog Strongjaw."
"Grog; another word for ale. I like it."
The smitten giant responded with a goofy smile, making (y/n) giggle.
"Damn," she said looking at the time, "we've been here a while. Guess I'll see ya around." (y/n) took her leave, smiling back at the tavern.
--
After spending two nights in town, Vox Machina was ready to press on. They were about to exit when they heard a familiar voice behind them.
"Wait!" The group looked to see (y/n) rushing towards them. She had an unknown object tucked under her arm. Grog's face flushed as she approached them. "I just talked to the innkeeper," she said, "He told me that you were on your way out and that you paid for ale."
"A gentleman must be the one to pay the bill," Percy stated.
She nodded to the gunslinger and turned to Grog, presenting the object him. A gauntlet to be worn on the wrist, forged with obsidian.
"To yesterday's champion," she spoke, "I've been saving it for two-and-a-half years, waiting to gift it to whoever could out drink me."
Grog accepted the gift with awe-stricken eyes.
"It might be a bit small on you but I'm sure you can have it resized."
Grog snatched the bag of holding from Vax and quickly tucked the piece of armor inside.
"One more thing..." (y/n) gestured for him to lean down at which point she pressed a kiss to his cheek. "Until we meet again."
(y/n) trekked back into town as Scanlan hollered, "Alright Grog!" The goliath didn't answer.
"Grog?" Pike spoke. The group looked to see that Grog's eyes were glazed over and he had a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Oh great," Percy spoke, "she stole his heart and his brain."
"What was left of it anyways," Vex added.
It took the whole of Vox Machina to pull Grog along as the band of adventurers continued onward.

pyrrhon thoughts?
GUAH ok well here's a big post I made abt my biggest headcanons for him and on main @swadloom I tag him on posts and occasionally go on divine madness rants under the #guy tag but aaaaaah here's some more just for you ��
He 100% believes all the stuff about justice and heroism that he goes on about and all the crazyass stuff he pulls is justified in his mind for reaching that goal of becoming the most powerful protector of humanity
His eyes glow solid bright green if he's angry or out of it / distressed
I think he would do that thing tiktok boys do where they shush you and wag their finger and trace their jawline but instead of it being a flex on his looks maxing he's trying to channel physical damage to whoever he does it to
I wish him and Pit were a funny friend duo sooooo badly its unreal. Like the idea of him respecting this punching bag angel more than the gods is SUCH AN INSANE CHARACTER REVELATION that could inform SO MUCH about him then two second later he fucked up in space 4ever. Sad! Whatever imagine if chapter 17 opened up with Pit making his way through a big gauntlet of aurum ships then coming out the other end, meeting paths with Pyrrhon and hi-fiving midair. Then he zooms off and only a minute later it's all thrown away for power. Think aboutd it.
Because it's my current biggest fixation: Playing d&d with him would either be heaven or hell. He will come up with some shit the ppl making the rules never prepared for. He will take a random street beggar under his wing and give them a volatile ancient artifact. He will hype the shit out of anything anyone does. He will put his soul in a kua-toa and create a new whole ass god that he puts his soul in AGAIN so he can go party with Primus. He will poke the trap.
Part of an attempted fic I've been working on coming out in 2 million year. But I think he has mild weird psychic abilities that other gods don't have. One bit in there is him trying to learn how to gift prophetic powers but as goodwill apollo its weird and fucked up so that touching his gem just kinda traps you in his adhd mindhellscape for a bit and he doesn't fucking know how to turn it off 💔. Holding together the prophecies with sticks and stones like the spongebob puppet TV thing you know the one. Do I sound insane right now
Sometimes his use of third person upticks if he's trying to reassure himself or if he's less grounded. Which is. Most of the time really but it turns down in straightforward conversation and the like and could be every sentence if he's really out of it
That being said he would use the same dramatic mannerisms that he uses in the heat of battle for like. fortnite vc
He thinks spongebob is bad ass as hell. Chicken little too. And probably Bill and Ted and rainbow dash. And freddie benson. Just the most random ass guys that activate his godly protection complex. You won't be left to toil in the middle any more malcom .
Okay one fucked up one. uhh if/when he returns and gets tentatively accepted back into skyworld, he's paranoid and convinced that people are going to try to send him back to the aurum since he became one with them and in his own eyes can't go back to being who he was. He swings between desperation to return to them and desperation to never leave earth again. He keeps pretending to be confident and unbothered to at least hold on to that part of him, but when he messes up again, and proves he's just as worthless and idiotic as he used to be, he gets that feeling of the path he went down repeating until all that's left for him to do is break down and plead not to go back there, that he knows he deserves it but he'll do anything to make up for it and stay here on earth. Meanwhile none of the others would have a reason to do this, and they have no idea where this is all coming from... though maybe some of them have been there as well.
Gyuhh. Anyways. Once everyone becomes aware of the Problems ppl pitch in more than he expects, and Viridi begrudgingly creates some lil fireproof immortal friendguys, a cat and snake specifically, to be therapy animals for him. This serpentine creature is coiling around pyrrhons arm with nothing but a freak tube body and its force of will!!! And it's sticking its little tongue out awwwwww. I'm split between them having Egyptian deity names or like being the longest most insane gacha 7 star fusion type names that shorten down to like. tabby
I think he would really love insane shitty movies like the channel awesome movies or our drawings or ESPECIALLY the amazing bulk. I HATE DUST I DON'T WANT IT BUILDING UP IN MY HOME was a verbal stim for him at least at some point
His response to asking about his gender is like being a beacon of light concentrated into a form of sun flare and meteor fire all to serve justice through the realms. And like you'll have to roll with that because it's not like you can ask him what's in his pants. Because. I mean

My ToastedGhost Headcanon Masterlist
Upon further inspection, technically Spooker ‘won’ the poll where I promised a masterpost by losing, but I have a lot more thoughts on Spooker and would prefer to write that when I’m not still dealing with finals, so... Here's the one I said I'd do :D
Absolutely the most popular ship in the fandom with minimal competition if any, ToastedGhost is a childhood friends-to-lovers kind of relationship between two people who trust each other above all else in the world. There are lots of ways to read the relationship, from unrequited to codependent to healthily married to… possibly even divorced!… Though I’ve never seen anyone take it that way. Even beyond the relationship, Toast has been widowed and Ghost canonically has no interest in women, so there’s no worry about breaking up another ship for this one to thrive.
Because the ship is as fluid as most other unconfirmed things in this fandom, I’m going to share my thoughts on how Multiple verses of the ship could work, from fluff to angst.
Solid History HC
Since a relationship between two people can be incredibly fluid based on the story told and the logic of the story, I wanted to open with ideas about how these two connect that I don't change unless I'm specifically making an AU where that aspect is changed. Consider these the base stats.
Johnny Ghost and Johnny Toast first met as children attending the same school in North Carolina, USA. Ghost has no recollection of it, but he's already dealt with Cardboard Friend by this point. Toast, on the other hand, has just experienced whatever traumatic event goes here, most of the time also being the same thing that gave Gavin his powers.
They meet through a shared love of learning about the supernatural, with Ghost being so excited he never shuts up about it and Toast actually listening and knowing how to respond.
The duo had two shared friends: Katrina and Ronnie Boast. Aside from that, Ghost was close with Dark Pit (cause they're cousins) and the whole group adopted a stray dog they couldn't agree on a name for.
Ghost is possessed by Casket for the first time while the pair know each other, but Casket doesn't become overtly active until Toast leaves. Because Ghost was first possessed on Halloween (in my hc), Toast was busy with other things at the time. The friend group had a whole conversation about it earlier in the day, and knew Ghost would be alone that night.
When Toast had to go back to the UK for high school, they kept contact over the phone before they figured out how to use a long-distance radio, meaning Ghost hogged his house's landline a lot in his freshman year. Toast first heard Casket over the phone when Ghost forgot to hang up once.
The first time the two saw each other in person again after Toast went back to the UK was to meet for Katrina's funeral. Ghost can't remember it at all, but they had some really soft moments together. There's also a chance Ghost admitted to possibly killing her while the memory was still vaguely fresh in his head.
Toast first met Mary while in University, and didn't actually fall in love with her immediately. Ghost encouraged Toast to talk to her about it, but didn't expect them to get married... or for Toast to accidentally kill her.
Toast moved back to the states after Mary died, if not already split from his family then splitting now. The two worked for awhile to try to fund PIE, which was struggling, while living in the same apartment. After struggling to hold a job outside of PIE freelance and writing his book, Toast reached back out to his family in order to fund PIE. He never told Ghost why he reached back out to them.
Even if not IN love, they adore each other and nothing can ever change that.
Relationship Possibilities
As much as I love Toastedghost, both as a ship and a friendship, this does keep the door open for variety in specifically how their relationship is defined. They can be somewhat toxic/codependent depending on what aspects about their relationship is explored.
Good Friends, Practically Brothers
Even though I’ve had some moments saying you can’t explain their relationship without romance, it is possible to have a friendship like theirs without underlying feelings on either side, and that’s beautiful. Ghost and Toast are incredibly close and that doesn’t require them to kiss when no one’s looking, and I say that with love. They are incredibly tight, and both have actively killed and died for each other, and even though Toast exasperates Ghost sometimes, and Toast has to be the responsible one when Ghost gets violent, they’ve found a way to make it work without falling into a relationship.
Because of their relationship as children, they may see each other as siblings, meaning any love between them is not only completely platonic, but it’s uncomfortable to think about it in any other way in this specific scenario. If someone sees them as brotherly love, they are just as valid as someone who sees them as in romantic love.
One-Sided/Mutual Pining
I don’t thin I’ve ever seen anyone read their relationship like this before, at least not in the long-term— I think Ghost is anticipated to have done some pining as a child— but this is a viable option for their relationship as well. Especially since Toast is coming into the work at PIE out of a marriage, one that left him widowed. If Ghost had feelings for him, the awkwardness of having feelings so soon after Mary died might be enough to make him shove his feelings back down. If Toast had feelings for Ghost, whether he already had them or developed them while living with him, it might feel too soon to try again, and eventually just never come up.
If you intend on using this one I would like to beg for some resolution someday, just because too many shows draw out the ‘one side is pining for the other’ thing for the entire duration of the series and it can exhausting when people look for any excuse to keep the couple seperate.
Dating Without Saying “Dating”
These two are so close that everyone is under the assumption that they’re dating, but they’ve never actually taken the time to define it. Largely because they never thought to. I do think it’d be funny if ghosts try threatening Ghost or Toast’s “husband” or “boyfriend” with other people around, and they’re the only one to not know who they’re talking about. I think part of the story here is them realizing that these feelings they’ve always had are teetering on romance.
I can see Ghost visiting his dad for a holiday with Toast and getting the “so, when are you two planning on tying the knot?” Question.
Dated as Kids, Never Actually Separated but Haven’t Talked About It
This is a whole AU concept idea that I literally just came up with, but I think it almost sounds cute and would love to see someone work with it. Especially since Ghost doesn’t remember his childhood very well, but Toast does. There’s a chance Toast thinks Ghost forgot but he didn’t, or Ghost did forget and Toast is trying to find a way to bring it up to him… idk, it’s cute.
They Started by Fake-Dating, but it Became Real
They get married for tax purposes and make it a joke for about a year, until it stops being a joke and starts being actual chemistry. It could have also been to get Toast’s family to leave him alone about marrying.
They Got Married!
Somewhere, sometime, off-screen, there was a Toastedghost wedding, and it was probably just as chaotic as it sounds. This could happen any time— before the events of the series, after the Puppet arc, after the Retirement arc, sometime after the channel ended, whatever works! Imagine Toast got them rings made of silver, iron, and salt to keep ghosts and other spirits away from them, and having to wear it around his neck during the Werewolf arc, or wearing both his and Ghost’s during the Puppet arc and identifying him by it in the Billion Year War. There is so much story you can tell with rings.
They Eloped as Soon as Mary Died
WOAH THAT FEELS A LITTLE MUCH— like I’ve seen headcanons that Mary and Toast were not actually that close, that Toast was engaged to her by his family and barely knew her when she ended up dying. Even then, and even with Toast leaving his family, it feels incredibly… shallow? Rude? And I would argue that this relationship is one of the more unhealthy ones, because it shows a serious sense of disregard for other people’s life and lack of empathy. I don’t know how people headcanon Mary, and maybe the only people who want them to get together like this see her character as the world thing on the planet and not someone Toast would miss that much, but I don’t say that this feels heartless as a criticism. I say it because I think it’s something fresh to explore that none of these other prompts have right out the gate.
Think about it, a Toastedghost story where they take ‘us against the world’ to the extreme, actually hurting people around them in the name of each other. Even if this isn’t toxic between the duo, it is genuinely harmful for other people in their lives, and would be something interesting to explore. This could include Toast letting Casket kill other members of PIE to keep Ghost safe, or Ghost choosing to do things he would otherwise consider bad because he needs to break Toast out of prison again.
It Doesn’t Matter How They Label, They Are Codependent
This is its own label, I’m not saying all Toastedghost is toxic and unhealthy.
Though it is cute that Ghost went from dimension to dimension looking for Toast, and Toast basically put his life on pause to get Ghost back, this was basically foreshadowing for what would happen if they were separated by choice. The moment that Ghost turned his back on Toast, Toast crumpled like a house of cards and I promise you that if it were the other way around, Ghost would have fallen to pieces too. It’s cute that they rely on each other, but emotionally they can’t get through the day alone and that means that if they have problems communicating ever, someone is going to get hurt.
Rapid Fire HCs
Ghost is likely projecting when he says everyone is in love with Johnny Toast because HE is in love with Toast and can't imagine a person who doesn't immediately adore him.
There was a period of time where Ghost planned to move to Europe to support Toast after Mary passed, but Toast beat him to the punch and seemingly immigrated to the states.
Both Ghost and Toast can cook, but while living together in their first apartment, Ghost had primary dominion of the kitchen because Toast wasn’t used to cleaning up after himself and Ghost found it annoying that he kept leaving dishes lying around.
Toast does the taxes for the household, not just because Ghost can’t read, but because he doesn’t want Ghost to know how much he’s bringing in or spending in a year. Between support from his family, the macaroni dealing, and PIE, Toast can probably afford to replace multiple cars a year.
Both Ghost and Toast prefer Ghost’s family to Toast and tend to stay in the states for holidays and avoid Toast family events. However, Toast did go to his sister’s wedding.
Because they’ve been close since they were young, Toast knows Ghost’s dad well, better then Ghost knows Gavin.
Songs and Why
- Curses by the Crane Wives
“🎶 Ashes ashes, dust to dust | The Devil’s after both of us 🎶”
From what I’ve seen, what this song is about is up for debate, but the explanations I’ve seen ranges from a murderer is in love, to it being about a person who is overwhelmed by their emotions. Honestly, I think without the context of what it “must” be about, it works well to just consider it for them. They are two people who are likely in love in a world that does not love them much back, both have seen their fair shares of trouble and now rely on the other, using them as a lighthouse. This song could be from either or both of their perspectives, especially considering Ghost has experiences with evil houses and murder, and Toast seems to be very reliant on Ghost emotionally.
A lot of Crane Wife songs are more about relationships with problems, which is funny when I saw Curses for Toastedghost is characterizes one of the healthiest versions of their relationship.
- Bernadette by IMAX
“🎶 Family and friends becoming ghosts to dream of… 🎶”
One of my favorite songs in middle school, it is really easy to see this one as a kind of codependent relationship, and this works for them best in very possessive scenarios. It’s also a good song to point out how much they’ve lost, even if they still have each other. In all honesty, I used to see this as Only a CBF and Ghost song, but now I save CBF only for the very beginning. I think it’s important to show how Toast is affected by their relationship too, and how neither Johnny alone is the problem when any problem exists.

heyy :) i know you’ve done smth similar to this before, but how would you think people like lee/kenny/luke/javi/etc. (feel free to add others if you want) would feel about clem asking lilly to take her and leave the school alone during the delta raid and lilly agreeing to it?

omg I’m such a sucker for stories about Clem’s dads all stepping up to help her. enjoy, my friend!!
Context: let’s say that the characters have learned this as Clem and Lilly are making their way to go the gate, about to leave.
Lee: “Hey.” Lee’s voice came out harsh and cold. His fists were vibrating as he tried to hold himself back. “Where are you two going?” He stopped before Lilly - with her arm draped over Clem’s shoulders - continued to whisk her down the dirt path they were traveling on. “We’re leaving.” Was all she said, plainly. “I was asking Clementine.” Lee spat. His words were venomous. Deep down, out of everyone there, she knew Lee would be the toughest to get past. Lee loved Clementine like she was his own. He wasn’t going to go down without a fight. “Lee”- He cut Lilly off by kneeling and holding Clementine’s shoulders. “You don’t need to do this.” “I have to.” Clem furthered. Lee could hear her voice crack as she spoke. It was all the proof he needed. “You don’t need to do anything you don’t want. You don’t need to go anywhere you don’t want to go.” He glanced up, shooting a glare. She was unfazed. “Please, Clem,” his voice grew quieter and softer over time as if losing his power to debate her. “You don’t need to let her take you.” Clementine could feel her tears welling as she placed a hand on Lee’s arm, squeezing as if finding comfort. Before emotions could progress further, Lilly snagged Clementine’s hand and turned her away. “We need to go.” Clementine’s gaze didn’t leave Lee’s as she wandered away, watching his arms limply fall by his sides as she was whisked away from him. Lilly turned her face, not wanting her to linger on the idea of missing him. Lilly could feel the child’s wet tears on her palms. She closed her eyes and continued, not letting the sorrow get to her.
Kenny: Kenny scoffed, dumbfounded. “Over my fucking dead body.” “Kenny--“ He lifted a finger, stopping Clem from speaking. “I don’t care how you feel,” then turned to Lilly, “or what you think, but Clementine is not leaving.” “We are, Kenny.” Lilly spat. “You can’t stop us.” “Lilly.” Kenny’s voice was hoarse and tense. Lilly stared at him, shooting daggers. She could sense the defeat in his gaze but retained her posture. When Kenny’s gaze shifted back down to Clementine, his expression softened. “Clem, please. Think about what you’re doing here.” “I have.” She responded curtly. It felt almost too fast, as though she was attempting to shut him out to further convince herself. Kenny frowned, taking a half-step back, as though to demonstrate him giving her space. “I respect whatever you decide.” He said, low and quiet. “But I’ll miss you. It’ll kill me not having you around.” Clementine’s eyes finally met his, lifting from the ground. “I don’t know what I’m going to do without you.” Clementine could feel herself starting to crumble. Luckily (or unluckily) for her, Lilly placed a hand on her shoulder and turned her around. “Let’s go,” was all she said. “I love ya, Clem.” She could hear him say under his breath. As she walked away, her back turned to him, she squeezed her eyes closed, trying to force back her silent tears and failing. What was she going to do without him too?
Luke: “Clementine!” Despite the rain, Luke launched himself out of their building, darting after the duo making their way down the dirt-forged trail. He couldn’t let her walk away without trying to talk some sense into her. “Clem!” His voice seemed more hoarse the second time, forcing Clementine to pause and turn around, much to Lilly’s dismay. “You can’t do this,” he wheezed out as he finally approached the two, fumbling his way to a stop. “Please, Lilly, you can’t do this.” “It’s not my decision, it’s hers.” Lilly snapped back. Clementine couldn’t force herself to meet his gaze. She could tell his eyes were fixated on her despite Lilly’s continued banter. “Clem,” his voice was soft. “Don’t do this. You don’t have to.” “I need to.” She spoke lowly, as though she wasn’t entirely sold on the concept herself. “We need you, Clementine.” He hesitated, feeling an overwhelming wave of emotions flood over him. “It’ll kill me with you not here.” Lilly, sensing how the emotional confession was going to sway the child, stepped in. She whisked an arm over Clementine’s shoulders and continued to guide her down their path. “We’d better get started.” Behind them, Clem could hear one final plea. “I’ll really miss you.” She bit the inside of her cheek to stop herself from sobbing.
Javier: The instant he got the news, Javier turned his head to face the front gates of Richmond. Sure enough, there the two were, receiving permission for the doors to be opened. “Shit,” Javier huffed under his breath, launching himself toward the duo. “Clem, please.” Javi pleaded. “I don’t think this is best for you.” “You don’t know what you’re talking about,” Lilly snapped, stepping in. “You all want to make her soft. Soft is dangerous in a world like this one. She needs someone like me if she wants to survive.” Clementine had her lips parted, ready to speak, when Lilly set her away. “Come on. It’s time to go.” “Clem,” he said softly. He reached out, grasping the  “Don’t do this. You don’t need to leave us.” Clem’s gaze lingered on his. She could feel the memories flooding her - all the times they had her back and supported her when they didn’t need to - and here they were, about to separate, potentially forever. A part of her didn’t want to leave. Didn’t want to go. This wasn’t like a family. In this world, it was her family. Just as her tears started to swell, Lilly tugged her away. “We need to get started.” That was all she said. Javier stood, defeated, watching as one of the most crucial members of his family was tugged away. There he was, powerless, unable to do anything.

I will post these two on separate posts (that's why I screenshotted this ask) because I prefer it that way.
Kimetsu no yaiba is certainly better than some other shonen out there when it comes to writing women. But the manga is not that layered in general, and that includes the female characters. I'm not gonna lie the titty fanservice with Tengen's wives and Mitsuri is a bit annoying, them wearing nonpractical clothes just so the audience could oggle them (you know it's possible to make a character attractive without making them look dumb or degrading like Oda and Kubo often do). But compared to certain other shonens it's not as bad on that aspect.
However, I think Tengen's wives are just eye candy and I don't like them. I don't even like the implication that a man having multiple wives is good but whatever, I'm not gonna harp on that. A lot of the demons, male or female, have some characterization, which is fine. But the way Daki's past was portrayed, eh. Not a fave. Once again a female character's trauma was not recognised or explored from her point of view.
Aoi, I like what was done with her, despite her being a rather minor character. Not everyone is cut out for fighting, and instead of forcing it she dedicated herself to treating and training others. And she is very effective at it with her no-nonsense attitude. She is is something Hinata would be if she was a likeable character, instead of getting in the way because she's weak.
Mitsuri... she's okay, I didn't dislike her. She's more of a typical anime girl, ditzy and girly. But she could actually fight, which is nice. I do think her and Obanai's characters both being connected to self loathing and wanting to be loved made them a good duo mirroring each other.
Tumblr media
Nezuko is often said to be more of a pokemon than a character, and there is some truth to it. But she is still a caring girl that is not afraid to protect her friends and brother from an enemy no matter how formidable. The biggest issue with her is her lack of voice compared to the other characters. And I mean her opinions and perspective, we don't hear much of it. But we see some of her emotions, and those are touching moments, especially the ones with her brother, and that's what makes her leave an impression to the viewers and care about her. And she has strong willpower even when she is no longer a demon, protecting others from her brother and also trying to help him despite the possibility of being killed. But yeah, she is her brother's motivation and pokemon a lot of time...
Tumblr media
Tamayo is a good supporting character. She is intelligent, wise, an incredible doctor, and strong in her own way, despite not having the kind of powers the fighters in the series have. She had her own goal of researching demons and transformation and being a doctor who helps others with her vast medical knowledge, including the main cast. I liked her hatred of Muzan contrasting her normally calm and kind persona, and also her feelings about being a human. So yes, I like her.
Tumblr media
When Shinobu is first introduced she just comes off as this troll character who has some screw loose. She wears a mask, acting all cheerful and teasing, but inside there's a lot of anger because of what happened to her loved ones... she also has an inferiority complex towards the other Hashira, and uses poison. The plot twist about her fight with Douma was pretty good, but she wasn't focused on enough in my opinion. Which is the case with a lot of kny female characters. They have decent backstories and motivations, but the impression they leave isn't very strong. But to be fair, I also felt the mangaka rushed with Rengoku too.
Tumblr media
Kanao. She has a nice character arc. She had a traumatic past that made her repress her feelings and her behavior became indecisive. But her will to fight against demons strengthened when she saw her loved ones being hurt. She learned Flower Breath just by watching Kanae. She also learns to express her feelings more. In her fight against Douma, it was nice to see her being a little assholish haha I like when female characters get crazy and vindicative. It's also great to see her have such a strong relationship with other women. And it was nice how she got a final moment to shine when Tanjirou went demonic.
So yes, better than some other shonen, but leaves much to be desired. But KNY isn't very deep or layered to begin with. Which is fine, it was still a rather enjoyable read/watch.

You were like Bulma in the original story, searching for the dragonballs, only you wish to revive your parents. On the way, you meet Goku who has the fourth star dragonball
He doesn’t want to deliver it to you , so you threaten and start to fight him.
„I don’t like to kill children but if you stand in my way I have to!“
Being very ruthless and reckless at the beginning.
Later on, being interrupted from others who want to steal the dragonball, you fight with Goku together against them and being quite a team.
After this you decide to search the dragonballs together and tell him he can revive his grandfather, too.
Both going to an adventure and train a lot together.
You are a swordfighter and held magic power so you can hold yourself against sayains as a human.
You change into a merciful and a strong warrior.
There is an endless trust between you and Goku.
Kuririn tries to hit on you but he is more like a fun friend to you.
You smashed Yamcha to pulp at you first meeting.😂😂 Poor guy.
In the end, you realized that you should not wish to revive your parents and accept it that it shouldn’t be changed.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Even as adults, you being with Goku the golden duo.
The son of Goku loves you and you love him. You being his favourite aunt.
You live alone with the help of Bulma and you help her.
Raditz surprised you and knocked you out directly. In the end, you have many insecurities and blame yourself that Goku had died.
With the knowledge of other sayains coming to earth, you train like hell and enter sometimes the session with Piccolo and Gohan.
Piccolo is a weird guy at the beginning but easy to hang out and you start to appreciate him. He knows how strong you are and feels that you became a lot stronger
„No Y/N, you fight as last. You are our trump card!“ Piccolo said, after you want intervene as you saw already two friends dying.
In the end, you had to fight Nappa. He was easy to defeat but played a bit with him because you wanted to restore time until Goku came back from the dead.
Yet, you didn’t kill Nappa like Goku would.
„If I would I’d be exactly like you. I am not and I can hurt you more letting you alive!“
Well: Vegeta killed Nappa and there is your new foe.
You knew how much stronger he was. Actually, you two danced around a bit, finding the weakness of each.
„Not Bad, Woman. But if I get serious, you would be already dead.“
„Well, I could say the same to you…“
Finally, Goku arrived and fought the first half against Vegeta alone.
On Namek, you team up with Vegeta a lot against Freezers army. He caught you on your way to search of the Dragonballs. He wanted to stop you until a soldier Freezer appears and somehow you two fought along.
At the arrival, of The Ginyu Force, you, Gohan, Kuririn and Vegeta formed an official alliance against them. Goku appears like always later.
Before the fight with Freezer, you all were resting and you exchanged some words with Vegeta.
„What Are you going to do after you defeated freezer ?“
„Fighting against Kakarott of course !“
„And then?“
„…. Finding another who- … why do you wanna know?“
Pursing lips and shrugging you shoulders: „No idea, just wanted to break the silence…“
Vegeta starts to get irritated from your nice behavior towards him and can’t stop watching from times with interest…
You both curious of each other and learn that you have much in common. In the past you were like him. Ruthless, proud and an idiot.
Of course you protect him many times from Freezer attacks, definitely as he breaks and tears up because he is frustrated. After a while, he caught himself up again and stopped Freezer from killing you.
In the end, he gets still shot through his chest while Goku appears. You understood him and tears fall down at your cheeks as you watch him taking his last breaths.
Vegeta seems quite not to understand your tears and is firstly triggered if you pity him.
You agreed with „I do.“ and wished for him after this to have a better and happier life than just of revenge for his race and the hope defeating freezer.
Freezer is stopped from Goku by turning SS the first time.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Back on earth, You are happy seeing all friends alive and wished Goku survived Namek.
The folks of namekians were taken care of Bulma a close friend of yours.
Kuririn„What’s with Vegeta? He just can’t left alone on earth. What knows what he will do?“
Your gaze rose towards him and he held yours. You walk towards him and he avoids you staring and looks back as he notices your approach.
„So what are you doing now?“
„ Like I said: I wait for Kakarot until he is back and fight him.“
„Sure… Yet, waiting all this time on this tree?“
„If need to be….“
„How about you come with me?“
„What?!…“
„Y/N?! Are you crazy!“ „That is dangerous!“ „What is on your mind?“
„Better than not knowing where he is?“
Gohan: „Actually, Vegeta comes along quite good with Y/N. I think that works!“
Kuririn: „Oh well, yeah but …“
You: „When you came to know him, he is nice!“
Vegeta: „Excuse me… I am still here?“
———————————————————————-
This idea popped up at midnight…
What….?😂😂😂

What do you think about Cleo/JJ ship that Carlacia mentioned in her interview? I just can't imagine them together, out of all initial ships Pates were right only about Jarah B. Pokie is a flop, same thing with JJ/Cleo for me. I don't know how can you create a show when you can't see obvious chemistry right in front of you, but see chemistry in pairs that have none
oh, that particular answer from laci got so many reactions. it’s so funny when people scream “so jiara was fanservice from the beginning” like it’s something offensive. i’m looking at them like “yeah, and?”. i love pates cause they are ready to change their initial plans in order to please fans. it really shows that they care about the show and not about their ego, why is this as bad thing? as for jjcleo, i’m actually confused about them. you can see that cleo’s character is mirroring jj’s. they both have no one, they both are reckless, they know how to survive. and my question with them is what can they teach each other? i always consider relationship as a thing where you can teach other person and learn from other person. yes, learning together is also important, but if you both have traumas you are not able to heal each other, unfortunately. and this is exactly what is see with jjcleo. i think that jiara and cleope worked because they are different in some ways, but have the same visions of life. pope has everything that cleo has ever wanted - loving family and great friends. she calls it a treasure, because that is exactly what she’s looking for in life. and cleo represents what pope wants - freedom. he said that he has so many obsessive thoughts circling in his mind, but she doesn’t have this problem. cleo helps him with letting go, helps him look at bigger picture. he becomes less nervous and you can see by the way he even acts - by the end of the season we see pope the most relaxed he’s ever been. also, i don’t know if anyone noticed, but this is the only season that we don’t see pope’s nervous breakdown in the final episodes. remember, his self-destructive behaviour after running from his scholarship interview? and in second season, when they lost the cross? this season he acts more mature. yes, he has his nervous breakdown in episode six, but cleo saves him, she calms him down. and that’s exactly that balance that pope always needed. as for jiara, i’ve said it million times and I’ll say it again - they have similar vision of life. even though jj is so focused on their differences, kiara is there to prove him that they can work cause their final destination is the same. i love how balanced they are together, how kiara knows how to act around jj to not scare him. the way jj knows how to comfort her like no one else. they are different sides of the same coin and that’s why they simply work. like maddie bailey said, jj represents what kie have always wanted in life. he’s a hundred percent pogue, he’s willing to do anything for his friends and that’s exactly what kie is looking for. kiara, on the other hand, is jj’s comfort space. she’s the one he feels the most comfortable to share his emotions, cause she is the one who knows how to comfort him. and it’s so beautiful and poetic in a way. i just don’t see how pates missed romantic chemistry for both of these couples in the first place. yeah, thankfully they saw something in jarah, we can consider this as a win. however, pokie and jjcleo have such a platonic vibe. they have it from the beginning and i don’t know how they could pass romantic chemistry read if they are screaming platonic chemistry. i loved small interactions between jj and cleo. in the first episode they were the action duo - confronting portis, leading pogues to the mission. and they have such a great power duo vibes, but i just don’t know if two action-packed characters can be a romantic couple, you know? it's just my subjective opinion and i'm not saying that it's the only way to see situation. so, yeah, for me jjcleo is a no, but i wasn’t so surprised to find out that cleo was initially supposed to be jj’s love interest. one way or another, they were always going to pair him up with someone.

Hey! So this is a long shot but July is disability pride month, idk if you know, so I’m wondering if it would be possible to request a Makkari (from eternals) x reader fic where the reader is also deaf and makkari is kind of mentoring them like a big sisterly figure kind of (maybe they’ve recently got powers or something, I’m not very good with ideas) makkari was just the first marvel character I could really see myself in and I love your works so much your account is such a comfort, so thank you!
Being Mentored by Makkari Would Include . . .
Authors Note: I hope you like this! I’m sorry it’s not a fic, but I found that I could generate more ideas with what you requested by writing hcs rather than a fic.
Request to be on a taglist (or multiple) here! (Taglists are at the end of the fic)
Main Masterlist | MCU Masterlist
PSA: Do NOT copy, steal, translate, plagiarize, republish, etc any of my works on Tumblr or any other platform. Also, do NOT claim any of my works as your own. All of these works are either requests I’ve gotten that people have wanted me to write or original ideas I’ve had for works. If you happen to take inspiration from anything I’ve written and want to write something inspired by that, please a) ask me firstand b) IF I say yes, credit me as inspo in your post by tagging me and link whatever work of mine that inspired you. Thanks.
This would start out by you being a new Eternal sent to Earth, having been taken in by Gilgamesh and Thena
They were practically your parents
Makkari was thrilled that there was a new member
When she learned that you were deaf, she was happy to teach you sign language
You two bonded quickly, with her teaching you sign language
When you were almost fluent, you asked Makkari if she would train you
Which she, of course, said yes
She helped you figure out your Eternals powers and trained you in combat
It was a little unfair, though, because she kept making you dizzy with her super speed
But you two trained well and worked great as a duo
So great that Druig got jealous
He pulled you aside one day, telling you that you had stolen his best friend and girlfriend
But Makkari walked up and slung an arm around your shoulder, saying that Druig was stealing her mentee
You smirked very happily as you guys walked away, much to Druig’s displeasure
Your parents soon had to tell you stop for a bit because they rarely saw you
Outside of Makkari mentoring you, you guys also became quick friends
You were often hanging out outside of training
And teased the others in sign language
They soon asked you guys to teach them sign language because they didn’t want to miss out on what you were saying
You and Makkari fought over who got to teach who
Whenever the team faced enemies, watch out, cause you and Makkari kicked ass
Everyone was astounded at how well you guys worked and fought together
Druig got more jealous
Eventually, he warmed up to you
Druig became a big brother figure and Makkari a big sister figure
You favored Makkari tho
Who wouldn’t? She’s awesome
Plus, she was the most fun
Thena and Gilgamesh often complained that you liked Makkari better than them
Which they were right
Makkari was a great teacher too, which I think we’ve established

ANOTHER IMPORTANT THING FOR A NEW SERIES PLS RESPOND!!!
i really appreciate any feedback on these yall 🥺🤍
but as i finish up girls just wanna have fun, i need to plan the next series! i have some new ideas, and i’ve scrapped a few others. like i said, pls feel free to tell me ur thoughts! <3
option one: like the dawn
ship: stucky x winged! reader
genre: angst to fluff
summary: you, steve rogers, and james “bucky” barnes have been best friends since kindergarten. when they go off to war and you pave your own path into the army, you never expected to lose them both. when you go missing on a search for their bodies and get taken by HYDRA, you become their latest experiment. the angel of death and the winter soldier are an assassin duo that haunt seven decades, but when you encounter a blond man on a bridge 70 years later, it stirs something you forgot was there.
basically a love story spanning the decades, with lots of reunions and relearning things about the people you love, and learning that while some things change, you’ll love them anyways.
preview:
As you three entered the science fair, you spun around, dress swishing at your knees as you took in every invention on display. Even if Bucky was the nerd of your little trio, you could still appreciate good science.
However, when you turned back to smile at your best friends, the shorter one was gone.
“Oh my god. Bucky. Where’s Steve?” The brunet whipped to his side, his hat nearly flying off his head in the process. Another reminder that he was leaving soon.
“Holy shit. Steve?” he yelled, peering over the crowd.
“Fuck, fuck, fuck,” you whispered. Before you could panic any further, the blond stepped out of the crowd, a pamphlet in hand. “Holy shit, Steve, you can’t run off like that!” you chided, checking him for any bruises.
“You know she’s right, punk,” Bucky added, frowning.
“Why do you two feel the need to chaperone me like I’m some kid?” Steve asked, eyeing you and Bucky as the bright lights of the different booths sent spots across his vision. You rolled your eyes, setting a hand on your hip.
“Because, Stevie,” you sighed, drawing out your words. “You have little-to-no survival instincts, and your mother would smite us if we let you run around on your own.”
Bucky nodded. “C’mon, Steve. I even got you a date.” You whipped towards him, eyebrows raised.
“You did? How?”
“I’m just that good, doll.” He winked at a passing girl, who practically swooned and waved to him.
You scoffed, lightly smacking him on the chest and taking Steve by the hand. “Let’s go, before Buck manages to leave a trail of broken hearts behind him and you have an asthma attack.”
option two: hades and persephone
ship: bucky x plant powers!reader
genre: comedy, fluff
summary: you’ve been in hiding in NYC ever since your escape from a HYDRA facility. in all honesty, it hasn’t been too bad. your power over plant life has made it laughably easy to establish yourself as a small-time florist in new york. you’ve thought about trying to join the avengers, but you’re far from prepared when the whole group comes busting into your store after a bad mission involving a lot of poison ivy. turns out you hadn’t been hiding very well, they were just being polite. (no civil war)
basically a superhero comedy showcasing some fun plant-based powers. isabela madrigal who???
preview:
Carefully making sure no one was watching, you ran a hand over the wilted orchids, watching as they returned to life with a mere touch. You smiled, setting the pots up on a shelf, perusing your store and keeping every plant in top shape. Flowers and houseplants alike lined your shelves, all perfectly healthy without a dead leaf in sight.
You sighed, relaxation taking over your mind. You felt your powers tingle, and when you glanced over to the mirror, you were met with a scattering of lavender flowers growing in your hair.
Frowning, you began to brush it out, waving a hand and dissipating the petals on the floor. Just as you managed to remove the last one, your door burst open with a loud bang, sending you jumping and causing begonias to bloom in place of the lavender.
You shrieked, ducking behind a shelf to furiously remove the pink-orange blooms.
“Sorry! Sorry, miss. You don’t have to hide, we know about your powers,” a voice said. How did they know? You’d been so careful to keep it all secret.
You peeked out from behind the shelf, eyes widening when you saw who was standing in your shop.
The Avengers. Still in their mission gear, covered head-to-toe in rashes. Poison ivy. You were sure of it.
“What the hell happened to you guys?”
option three: lonely is a man without love
(THAT’S RIGHT MOON KNIGHT BABY)
ship: marc spector + steven grant x avenger! assassin! reader (no jake i’m sorry i just don’t have enough screen time to know how to write him😭)
genre: comedy, fluff, slight reverse comfort bc episode five
summary: when you went to london to check out rumors of a new vigilante superhero, you were very shocked to only find a mild-mannered gift shopist. you befriend him nonetheless, and are just about to call the tip a bust when one night, you hear loud noises in his apartment next door. when you break in to check on him, you don’t find your shy friend. instead, you come face-to-face with a snarky mercenary and his… giant skeleton bird? (good ending to endgame, reader can see khonshu for reasons tbd lol. comedic effect??? idk)
basically a girlboss x malewife fic with angst. reader is badass and steven and marc are sweethearts with unresolved trauma.
preview:
“Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,” you said, holding a hand up. Steven- no, Marc, sighed exasperatedly, waiting. “You are a mercenary?”
“Why do you need to know?”
“Just answer the damn question!”
He rolled his eyes. “Fine. Yes.” You sighed, leaning against the bookshelf.
“So what? Was Steven just an alibi?” you asked. You really hoped not. One, because he was sweet and kind and an absolute nerd. And two, because if he wasn’t, then that meant that Marc’s dedication to a cover was better than yours. And that simply would not stand.
“No, it’s more complicated than that. He’s, like, a facet of me. Another personality.” You perked up, visibly relieved.
“Oh, so he’s an alter? Like, you have DID?”
“Is that what it’s called?”
“Do you… Do you not know the name of your own personality disorder?” His silence spoke volumes. You chuckled under your breath, watching him stammer to try and recover from his fumble. You removed the gun from your waistband, preparing to set it on the table. In an instant, Marc had your wrist in a death grip, attempting to jostle the gun from you.
On instinct, you twisted under his arms, kicking out his legs. He rolled over and stood back up, kicking the gun from your hands.
You took a moment to analyze his fighting style, scanning him as he circled you. He was good, yes, but his form was sloppy. Basic US military training, most likely nothing specialized.
Taking one out of Nat’s book, you leapt up, wrap your thighs around Marc’s head, and flip him over, holding him in place as he thrashed on the floor.
“Shut up, holy fuck you are so damn loud Jesus fucking Christ,” you hissed. Eventually, he tapped your leg, wheezing.
“Truce,” he sighed. You rolled off of him, nodding.
“Yeah, truce.”
option four: the soldier and the scythe
ship: bucky x ex hydra! reader
genre: heavy angst, trauma, hurt and some comfort, healing
summary: all you’ve ever known are the walls of HYDRA. you’re the first joint project between the red room and HYDRA, an assassin with a reputation for perfection. you’ve been modified to resist conditions that would kill anyone else, trained to evaluate every situation and to slip away without a trace. you don’t have any weaknesses. except for your long-time partner. the winter soldier. and when a mission goes south and a man on a bridge stirs up memories in him, you’re stuck in the middle of a war between what you’ve been trained and brainwashed to do, and the man you trust more than yourself.
basically a deep dive into what happened to bucky barnes in HYDRA that turned him into the winter soldier and the lingering hold it has on you both. warning: will discuss abuse, PTSD, torture, dehumanization, and possibly sexual assault. it’s gonna be a heavy one.
preview:
Your room was quite literally the only place you had any semblance of privacy in HYDRA. If you could even call it a room. Four concrete walls, bright fluorescent lights that went out at 12:00, a tiny cot, a toilet in the corner with a sink and tiny mirror.
No cameras though. And that was all you could hope for.
With a sigh, you stripped off your tactical suit, grabbing a thin shirt and pants. You slipped them on, running a bent and broken comb through your hair. Not for your appearance. Hell, HYDRA had trained any care for your looks out of you years ago. But untangled hair was easier to braid back, as you’d found after they’d chopped out a large chunk of your hair one time.
You spot a glimpse of the mirror. Dark, tired eyes stare back at you. Your skin is sunken and dull, although the cut across your nose had stopped bleeding and was already almost fully scabbed over.
You tore your gaze away from the machine in the reflection, opening your door slightly. A freedom not afforded to most HYDRA soldiers. But as one of HYDRA’s prized experiments, well, you got a few privileges.
“Как ты думаешь, куда ты идешь? [Where do you think you’re going?]” a guard asks. You kept your eyes low.
“В гостях у Солдата. [To visit The Soldier.]” He begrudgingly nodded, and let you pass. Silently passing down the hallway, you stopped outside his door. Him. The Winter Soldier. Winter, as you knew him. One of HYDRA’s oldest and best assassins. They’d managed to drain most of the humanity out of him a long time ago. But not all of it.
You knocked.
He opened the door instantly. You both schooled your expressions as you stepped inside and he closed the door. Luckily, HYDRA didn’t care what it’s favorite killers did behind closed doors. As long as it didn’t interfere with your work.
“Are you alright?” he asked. Even though his memories were as jumbled as yours, he knew English was his first language. It was what he preferred to speak.
“I will be.” He sat down on his cot and you joined him, the rough fabric bending under the combined weight. He rested his forehead against yours, both of you closing your eyes.
A moment of reprieve in all of the blood.

Choujin X Chapter 42: Closed System
Ishida is ready for the next big arc of Choujin X... and so am I!!
Tumblr media
Preface:
So, I am going to start doing metas on Choujin X every new chapter! Choujin X is currently one of my all-time favorite series to read ongoing, and I have been bottling up my brain rot a little too long!
So if you like Choujin X and want to read more metas like this, give me a follow or keep up with my tags! I hope everyone who reads enjoys, and feel free to send any asks about the series!
Ishida is eccentric in a lot of ways. He does very unconventional stuff with his manga, and of course Choujin X is no exception. Specifically, I am referencing,
The White Choujin
So, the beginning of this chapter was weird for me (lol). I'm African American, and the whole “whiteness” thing with this choujin automatically made me think race was being referenced. I quickly dismissed that notion because I feel like the racial perspective I have as an American would differ drastically from a Japanese man. Furthermore, I also have a hard time believing this was in reference to race, but instead deeper symbolism to the overall path Choujin X (tokio specifically) is facing.
Tumblr media
I'll expand on this more in a later section (because they tie in together) but I just wanted to mention my initial thought just in case I'm completely wrong and maybe Ishida was doing something else.. Who knows.
Pressure on Palma
If you know me, or know my opinions on Choujin X (which i don't think anyone on here does) then you would know how much I hate Azuma. I quite literally hate him. I see his value in the story and as almost a foil (or better yet rival) to Tokio, but as a person I hate him.
This interrogation of Palma doubles down on my hatred. I understand that Azuma has to be stern to make sure Palma isn't an enemy but based on her answers, her past and who she was dealing with it is very obvious she was being used. I think even Ely picked up on this, and even said that it's better for the police to handle the specifics with her sentencing because of the common laws broken. I mean, damn, he was literally rephrasing all her answers to come off as possibly intentional evil. (very much something a police officer's son would do. fuck him and his lame ass pig dad).
For Azuma to call Palma a bad guy without self awareness, but he literally tried to kill his “friends” when he became a choujin is unacceptable. It's the pot calling the kettle black. Azuma, YOU are the bad guy without any self awareness, and that's what makes him so damn annoying to me. Ely realized how much Palma was simply being used, but Azuma believes his sense of justice is above all... just like an unaware bad guy, huh?
Tumblr media
Palma is so precious, too, because she thinks to herself how she needs to now learn the laws of the land. She is only 16 (Tokio.. she is yours) and has such a genuine personality to her. I really hope we get more of her and Tokio because I think two of Zora's beasts becoming a couple or at least a strong duo would be a perfect twist. We'll just have to see where Palma's path goes.
Ember, Xember, and Fortunes Unseen
(this section will have multiple mini sections!)
Ishida,,, you beautiful man. When I tell you I was begging for this Batista backstory since we first got introduced to his character, I am not overexaggerating. Finally, seeing what caused Batista to be pushed to the edge (or more so a glimpse to it) is exactly what was needed to really send this manga into its next big stage.
But before we get to that, i wanna dive into Batista's conclusions from his experiment with Palma.
There are now two beasts for Zora: Tokio & Palma
Xember can be used on Choujin
Azuma could possibly become a beast with Xember
Tumblr media
Now, these three things are extremely important to the pathways that can be taken in this series. We could see Palma take over the powers from Zora (might be cool to see), we could still have Tokio takeover, or Azuma could become a beast and take Zora's powers. OR, there could be a whole new beast created like Palma. Ishida basically is either giving us a red herring, or it is a strong possibility that he won't be taking Zora's power; (but I feel like he will be due to him already having such a high connection to Zora).
However, I do not know what this means for Batista. Does he want to create as many of Zora's beasts as possible? Is he trying to find the perfect vessel? Or is he just creating back up plans if Tokio doesn't take her powers? Or is he planning something else entirely? Maybe he wants to see if he can take Zora's powers, or maybe even just a part of them? I am not sure how deep Batista's loyalty really goes with Zora, and that leads me into his past.
Mado's Prophecy:
I do not trust Mado, I think she is shady as hell. Ishida showed us a glimpse of this scene, but now we get to see the full moment where Mado claims Sandek has to kill Batista. Apparently, Mado had a vision with Batista bringing rise to the destruction of Yamato Mori (I assume because she simply says “our destruction” who is “our”? I feel like this is a little ambiguous on purpose). She claims that he has to renounce his choujin powers in order to avoid that fate, and this brings about two questions from me:
What does it mean to renounce his choujin powers? Is he giving them away? Is he just swearing not to use them?
How does Mado know this will fix the future? If her prophecies always happen, what does renouncing his powers do except alienate him?
I feel like Mado has a lot of secrets, and once these secrets get revealed, things will flip on their heads. But, my main point is that she pushed Batista away from their group, ultimately alienating him from even his own brother. I think there is more to Mado, and possibly she is an unaware bad guy as well.
Tumblr media
I liked that Sandek spoke up and tried to vouch for his brother. I loved that a lot. Not only that, but I think it was foolish of Batista to give up something that makes him who he is because of Mado's prophecies, but he even said it himself that they always come true. I feel like betting on Sandek's initial proposal would have given them a better chance, but instead the pieces were set in motion for Batista to become their worst nightmare.
Even If You Can't Lift A Hundred Tons:
Batista's life as a “human” separated him from his brother and made his connection to Mori drastically change. Apparently, this drug called “Ember” was the original core research Batista was working. There isn't much detail (that I can recall) about Ember, but it seems that it was something he thought would benefit everyone. I hate seeing Batista say that only those who contribute as Choujin are listened to by the Yamato Mori, and that fact alone leads me to believe they are not the same faction that Zora founded. It doubles down my belief that Mado changed Yamato for the worse, and is using them to get rid of Zora.
(I think Zora and Mado can alter each other's prophecies, and Mado is trying to take out Zora to make her visions absolute.)
Aside from that, Batista had to find happiness and satisfaction as a human, even though he was a trained Choujin. As a human, he kept researching to make the world a better place, and even found love. This love kept him going, gave him purpose, and I also believe was what allowed him to accept his life as a “human”. He may not be able to life a hundred tons, but he is still a great choujin. I think his lover, Hartley, was telling him this to remind him that he IS choujin, and that no matter what they cannot take that from him. Everything he is doing is as a Choujin, not a Human. I find this metaphorical usage to be very powerful, and it leads directly into the next subsection -
A Wonderful Future No One Has Foreseen:
Tumblr media
I find Ishida to be a sick man for giving us such a beautiful love seen then going right into a spread of Batista looking like he hit rock bottom; giving up his hand for a new hand by the Chimera Choujin.
I find the fact he is giving up a hand really cool because it feels like a play on “the hand you were dealt”. Batista clearly lacked the power Sandek had, and he also didn't have the respect Sandek had. With going to the Chimera Choujin, he is now giving himself a new hand to play, literally being able to take other's powers for himself. I need Ishida to give us more info on Hartley and her marriage to Batista. What happened that caused Batista to resort to becoming the chimera choujin, and how does this all connect back to Zora?
One thing I do know, is that Batista is pursuing a future that is unseen. That tells me that he isn't as loyal to Zora as his constituents may think, and could just be using her to counter whatever Mado foresees. Give me more Ishida... please.
Sandek/Batista & Tokio/Azuma Connection:
Earlier, I brought up that I would be talking about the beginning of the chapter in a later section because it would tie in later, well here it is. When it comes to the beginning of the chapter with the Whiteness Choujin, I think this was ishida foreshadowing the “black” overcoming the “white”.
“Black” = Tokio & Batista. "White” = Azuma & Sandek
Sato already made mention that he made Tokio's overall goal be to surpass Sandek. In the fight against the whiteness choujin, he specifically calls Tokio black. I could be over analyzing this, but when you think about it, it makes sense. Why else would Ishida give us that choujin in the same chapter we get the deeper info on Batista leaving Yamato Mori? We even get more symbolization of Sandek being the “white” and Batista being the “black”. I think this applies to Tokio and Azuma too. I think there will be a big clash between Batista and Sandek (and Sandek will die). The death of Sandek will be the beginning of Yamato Mori's fall, and I speculate thast Azuma will try to take over Sandek's role while Tokio will be determining if he still wants to side with Yamato Mori.
Tumblr media
I know this is a big theory, and is all based on my analyzing of Ishida's use of symbolism, but I think it holds weight. Even if this doesn't exactly happen, I see something of similar nature happening. I like that Ishida is adding complication to the usual symbolism of black and white, making it possibly for either side to be the face of good or evil.
Checking up on Chandra
I love that Chandra Hume hasn't been tossed to the side as a character. He still has so much loyalty to Zora, but since he doesn't have his choujin powers, he is useless to them. So we get to see him living his mundane human life... until he gets kidnapped in a bathroom by Ricardo and Ririka.
P.S I am madly in love with Ririka and Ricardo, and I am very desperate to see them every chapter, so thank you Ishida. Please keep them around forever. I love that they are independent contractors.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also, before we get into the kidnapping, I found it very interesting that Chandra thinks about Ely while taking a smoke break in the bathroom. I think the concept of smoking reminds him of his choujin powers. It is his way of copping, thinking about flying in the sky with his smoke, like an old war veteran thinking about his past glories. That all gets interrupted though by R&R (Ricardo and Ririka).
I love that Batista and Chandra have never been on the same page, so when Batista thinks of a choujin test subject for Xember he thinks of Chandra. Even Chandra knows they were sent by Batista just from seeing the syringe in the Ice choujin's hands when he wakes up in the garage. With a quick exchange of words, Chandra accepts the syringe dosage. Batista talked about the possibility of Choujins blowing up, and seemingly thats what happens to Chandra. He yells that his heart was pounding, then his body busted into pieces.
Even Mr. Ice calls Batista a 'masked scoundrel' because he believed that Chandra would have been the choujin to survive the dosage of Xmber. Does this mean even he doesn't trust Batista, but has to listen due to a power hierarchy? When you think about it, it did come off like Batista and Chandra were on equal footing and had the other followers of Zora listening to them. This could have been Batista's way of getting rid of Chandra (possibly) but even if he survived it, it just proved the efficiency of Xember. It's a win-win scenario for Batista!
Even I for a moment was saddened to see Chandra go because I really enjoyed his character. He was an antagonist that served as a perfect catalyst for Ely and I think there is a lot more that can be explored with their dynamic. Of course, Ishida doesn't disappoint!!
Tumblr media
Chandra is alive, bodyless. Just a head. He is being preserved by the extremely sexy Yubiko. I swear Ishida knows I love her because he drew her even thicker and sexier than when we first met her. This has me so excited because it seems the Xember worked! Chandra is just a head, but he is alive. He might need time to raise due to the heavy damage, he lost his eyeballs in the explosion, but has them now. So it is apparent that raise is happening, albeit a slower pace. I really wonder how this dynamic with Yubiko is going to unfold on the next episode of Checking up on Chandra (lol).
Conclusion
I hope you enjoyed my ramblings about Choujin X chapter 42! I am going to try to keep up with every chapter meta as I can. Sometimes I just get lazy, LOL.
Please comment below with your thoughts, feel free to hit my ask box about anything and make sure you share if you enjoyed!
Tell me, how long do you think it will take Chandra to fully raise (if he does).
Hopefully new chapter soon!!

So Roses. First of all I love me some royalty au’s. Especially, with succession struggles. So when you do get around to writing it, it will eat that shit up. That’s also what instantly hooked me on Stars royalty + space.
Anyway, you are once again creating an speaking story simply by flipping the overdone dynamics around. I can’t speak for Techno or Tommy, but so far none of SBI are royalty. It’s very fun to see Phil as the royal advisor (who definitely has his own agenda with all the secret messages). I do think he has a lot more power than you would think. He got his way very easily with Sam. Like he basically got permission to make the decision.
I’m gonna be honest, I was expecting Phil to try and push Wilbur as a potential heir, but I think he’s more trying to set up a puppet king situation. Like he wants Quackity at the palace because if he does become heir he’s more likely to take Wilbur as his advisor if he already knows him. Also I feel like the tnt duo is going to be off the charts in this story. It feels like it’s going to be childhood friends/rivals maybe both.
And then there’s Sam. Sam who doesn’t want to get married because he has Ponk, even if he could get married and keep him. I do think that’s very sweet, but that action has consequences. We’ll enjoy the fallout.
-🌲
YEAHHH ngl spruce I was excited to post this partially bc i knew you were gonna be so game for it lmao
oh yeah phil's definitely got way more power than you'd think he would. the inspo for sandduo in this au came from house of the dragon actually, and while this won't make sense if you haven't seen it, at one point I was like "man what if Otto Hightower wasn't a total dick to Alicent and she was actually into his scheming and the two worked together when she was younger they'd be a very powerful father daughter duo" and then the idea of 'advisor to the king phil who has so many schemes of his own going on + wilbur his son working with him and learning from him' popped into my head. (that's where the inspo ends tho bc like. there aren't gonna be any marriage manipulation plots in this fic lol)
sam is not really a... forceful king to be honest. he relies a lot on phil for his advice, and the Consil's role also includes taking over for the king if he's sick or unavailable at a certain time. so the Consil is essentially the second most powerful person in the kingdom. also related to what you said at the end, he doesn't want to get married because he has ponk yes, but it's going to cause a lot of fallout. he doesn't really care though. when it comes to running the kingdom, he's more than happy to let phil do the hard stuff for him. but he has one line and he's gonna draw it there, succession crisis be damned
the thing is, wilbur as a potential heir would never work. because this is based (albeit loosely) off medieval royalty politics, which were all about blood. wilbur and phil don't have any blood ties to the royal family. wilbur could never be an heir because he's not blood-related to sam, unlike niki who is sam's cousin, and quackity who is his nephew. so yeah, that's off the table so what's phil gonna go for instead? second best option :)
ohhhh the tntduo is gonna be so fun in this fic. the main wilbur relationships I think I'm gonna focus on are (in no particular order): rainduo, crimeboys, tntduo, and sandduo (with a healthy dose of sweaterduo too)
you guys have no idea how much I've been brainrotting this I spent a ridiculous amount of time the other day figuring out what historical fashion trends are gonna be present in this hand wavy alternate universe medieval but not medieval era. I'm in DEEP

I had a dream last night abt my spiderverse and basically some reality hopper started in Silenas universe and is trying to basically one man (or one woman) eradicate Spider-Men (plural) cuz she has a small portion of a power stone so she’s unbelievably strong but she keeps going place to place to try and find a whole one so she can truly eradicate a universe (mainly Silenas but also why have one when you can have 10? 20? The whole multiverse?)
And basically Silena (Mysteria), Bianca (Ben Riley) Are going place to place to try and hunt her down. Now this girl is causing havoc where ever she goes. I don’t remember her name in the dream but she spoke with a heavy Russian accent basically almost full Russian (as much Russian as my smooth orb brain could remember from me learning last year) But like I said she’s basically going from place to place trying to make her self whole in a way.
Also shout out to my friends for appearing in this order
( @lazydaydrawings , Bianca and Andren team up which is just her LITTERALLY having no morals meanwhile Silena is trying to learn more about the magical side of his verse. I DONT remember if he came with them to the next verse or stayed. Almost catching the Russian girl because Bianca was stubborn. Bianca showing off once again how mean she is LOL)
( @hollowsart Bianca and Silena practically falling in. Secret diner / criminal gathering that Acedia and Otto and Beck were Invited to. Russian girl crashes the party and ends up chaining the trio and the dynamite duo <plus chameleon ??? For some reason????> funny scene with Bianca dissolving / chewing off chains with her venom. Also Bianca being the perfect anti-Spider-Man Spider-Man as always (probably being passive aggressive to everyone.) Russian girl tries to pin Silena but is saved by Otto, Acedia, and Beck. This would also be funny cuz also apparently in the dream Silenas now 18 and Bianca is 19. Silenas being excited they remember her and then just. Aggressively coughing. Then Silena and Bianca leave and Acedia stays and another weird probably out of character thing was beck being hinted at real magic?? Weird secret brain wishes ig. )
( @lazymonth , @bioeiectricity once again stumbling in here. I DONT remember much of this because I woke up in the middle of this part bc of my cat breaking my curtains. I just remember them, moldavite, Beck and Dmitri , and Electro, and the sinister foes. And Russian girl kababing Silena and cutting her in half twice (she’s ok tho) )
( @ssmmimi THE ULTIMATE LESBIAN POLYCULE HINTED AT. AND THAT IS ALLLLL I REMEMBER)
( @itschr1spy Silena and Peter getting along very nicely. Bianca is very upset. Ready to kill . Probaby does kill someone. Silena is very very magically drained. Bianca also a showing off her cool new wepon (a weird chain double knife thing my mind created)
( not a friend verse but finally the two ending up in a verse completely taken over by Mr Negative. A battle royal as Bianca and a totaled Silena fight for their lives. Semi final showdown and I mean semi final as that is when my alarm went off.

I started writing a Kingdom Hearts/RWBY crossover fic post-KH3 where instead of ending up in Quadratum like canon, Sora winds up in the World Tree which takes him to Remnant. Riku eventually finds out about the existence of said tree and follows him there. If written fully, it'll cover volumes 1-9 and end in 9 since that's when they wind up in the Tree again. It'll start pre-volume 1 a few weeks before the girls start attending Beacon. Sora will arrive during the V5 Yang Trailer, Riku will stumble upon Raven's camp but find Sora later on in Vale. I'd also like to point out that there will be no Heartless or Master of Masters here and it will solely focus upon their journey throughout Remnant. They will have their magic temporarily taken away before arrival, because magic is not a common occurrence in Remnant and the Tree wanted to help them blend-in, and they will each be given aura/semblance instead but still have their physical keyblade wielding skills. As for romance, Soriku will be the KH pairing. Riku has feelings for Sora but hasn't confessed while Sora will be trying to figure out how deep his feelings for Riku go (he will figure it out by the end don't worry). The RWBY ones will be the canonically explored ones (Arkos, Renora, Bumbleby) but others such as Blacksun may be referenced or minimally explored to throughout depending on my mood. If you are homophobic, don't even consider reading my story if I ever publish it, because it is not meant for you and neither are RWBY/KH as series to begin with.
Here's a basic summary of how this fic may go per Volume
Pre-Volume 1: Sora bonds with the Rose-Xialong family and learns basics about Remnant while taking a much deserved break. Riku is searching for Sora and ends up getting assistance from Raven after proving himself worthy of her time.
Volume 1: Sora goes to Vale with Ruby/Yang to see Yang off only to fight Roman and get acknowledged by Professor Ozpin along with Ruby. Riku intervened as Cinder was about to hit Sora with a powerful magic attack, and helped Sora/Ruby/Glynda repel her. The three get invited to attend Beacon and accept, leading to the formation of the teams and Sora/Riku being a duo instead of four person team because of the odd number of students for the year. They learn how to be students (Riku excels Sora does not) and huntsmen together and make new friends and enemies.
Volume 2: More challenges await as a threat rises. Sora and Riku gladly help their friends take on these enemies, but are unaware of the true darkness under the horizon. Will the light prevail as it always does or will the darkness be too strong for the heroes to squander? Only time will tell. Meanwhile, the two are settling in this new world, and pondering over their feelings for each other.
Volume 3: Sora thought he'd get a break in this new word and enjoy it with his best friend. Riku thought he'd be able to have some fun with his crush in the Vytal Festival. Neither could've predicted the tragedy that was coming. Hope is shattered, and light is in pieces. Innocence is lost, and they will never be the same again.
Volume 4: What does one do when the light falls to darkness? Sora, Riku & co will have to figure this out the hard way as they head to Mistral searching for any light that can guide them to a much needed victory against the dark. With RWBY scattered and RJNR despairing, is there any light left or has the dark taken over all of their hearts?
Volume 5: They are but a few sparks, and the darkness is vast. How will the light prevail against such overwhelming odds? Perhaps the return of old friends, new allies, and hope they had long needed will arise help them triumph over darkness.
Volume 6: Everyone is together again, and Sora could not be happier. However, there are still many challenges ahead as the group must head to Atlas to hide the Relic of Knowledge warn General Ironwood of Salem's incoming invasion. Old and new enemies, secrets, troublesome and confusing feelings and more threaten to tear him and his new friends apart, but Riku won't let him give up now.
Volume 7: After all this time, Sora and Riku are now huntsmen! They will give it their all to protect Atlas and Mantle from Salem's forces. However, light is stronger in some people's hearts than others. Will love prevail or will fear tear everyone apart?
Volume 8: Sora's worst fear has come true; the dark is stronger than the light. He and Riku might not be able to save everyone like they had been able to in the past. However, that doesn't mean they won't risk it all to fight for every life. Will light be able to overcome the odds and save they day or will they fall into darkness?
Volume 9: The heroes saved the day, but it came at too high a cost. Now, Sora and Ruby grieve over the loss of a friend they failed not once but twice all while dealing with a world whose weirdness reminds him of home and feelings that may change things between him and Riku forever. As the World Tree appears before them, Sora and Riku must ask themselves: What are you? Are you the same boys that left home? Do you even want to return knowing the fight against the darkness will never end? Is there even any light in your heart anymore? What these boys decide will determine their futures.
Feel free to give suggestions if you have any ideas of specific events or character interactions you want to see. Note that Sora and Riku are the only Kingdom Hearts characters physically present aside from flashbacks.
