I was about to say that it would be so cute if someone wrote an au based on A Life Less Ordinary and then I realised that Not Wholly Evil is a slightly more dramatic pirate version of that exact story 🤙 my brain works in mysterious ways

Hi :) got any knuckles headcanons? (or sonic hc in general)
Alright, buckle up cuz I’m about to live up to the third part of my name
Knuckles may have a short temper but He’s super chill and calm most of the time, Sonic is just exceptionally good at pressing his buttons.
He may act all rough and tough but he’s a huge softie and once you get to know him you’ll see his kind and gentle side.
he’s so good with small creatures and knows how to restrain his strength so he doesn’t hurt them.
Chao really, really like him. He grew up around them and know how to look after them.
It is not rare for Knux to end up in a pile chao. Especially on colder nights.
Since he can sense chaos he’s able to recognize all of his friends chaos signatures and he can tell exactly who’s on Angel Island. (It is possible for him to miss someone in the same way you can miss someone calling your name if you’re really focused on something)
It also means he gets an early warning for any chaos based moves and attacks.
His strong connection to chaos also leads to him being a target for things like ghosts.
He’s able to sense them, but they’re able to sense him. Malevolent ghosts will attack him first most of the time and ones without any true goal will follow around after him.
Knuckles’ Guardianship starts to apply to the people he cares about and anyone who hurts them will have an angry Guardian to deal with. (But he’s still willing to beat his friends up for fun because that’s a way sonic characters bond.)
He plays the aloof card, but he gets super worried when a friend is injured. Being a protector is a huge part of him and he doesn’t like to see what he protects in danger.
Less of a headcannon and more of an idea I like. (Although, with the Master Emerald this is possible.) But Knuckles with healing powers speaks to me, him being a skilled warrior who most people only see when he’s riled up for a fight, but also a gentle and kind healer that very few people ever get a chance to see.
and the idea of him being a grumpy healer who will yell at you for getting yourself into danger has plenty of entertainment value.
I love it when Knuckles get to have echidna traits. They’re such a cool animal an I think that should be acknowledged. Knuckles has big long claws like a real echidna does perfect for digging.
digging is a relaxing activity for him and he’s accidentally scared his friends many times by popping out of the ground with zero warning.
Also Since he’s an echidna he’s electroreceptive
the first time he was in a modern house he was so confused. He could sense electricity everywhere but no one else had any clue what he was talking about.
thats also another reason why he hates wearing communicators. He’s constantly able to feel electricity moving through it and it feels uncomfortable. (Tails is working on one with a lower electrical output for him)
It also means he’s the go to for finding faulty wiring. Tails just points out a room and asks him if the electricity feels weird.
The Master Emerald raised him and used its power to guide and teach him.
His ability to glide has a level of m.e influence to it. I’m not set on how much, but his gliding working the way it does can’t be 100% natural.
knuckles’ connection with the Master Emerald means that if he chose to fully tap into the Master Emerald’s power he’d have the potential to be one of the most powerful and dangerous creatures on the planet. The Master Emerald has been able to mess with time and space like it was nothing. It breaks the rules of gravity on a daily basis. It can make the chaos emeralds useless.
But Knuckles doesn’t believe the power is his to use and believes he is only there to guard it.
a situation would have to be truly, truly dire for him to choose to wield it.
Okay I still have a lot more than this, but I’m gonna cut it off here before I go on forever.

If this au is not a “Crazy autobots” au, now I just want the bots reaction seeing their humans, the kids, right there. Dead. (You can tell I love angst :3)
Oh yes I can tell you do! I love myself angst too as long as theres a happy ending to finish it
(I cry and sob at sad or bad endings)
As you know there are two versions of this AU
The Crazy Autobots version (Called 'Freedom In Afterlife AU')
who were so protective because of war trauma and loss that they basically kidnapped the kids to keep, Jack goes to hell after Killing Miko and Raf so they don't do anything bad to themselves in case hell or heaven is real, sacrificing his place in heaven for them while he goes to Charlie's hotel to redeem himself. This version would typically end with the three of them in Heaven all together, visiting only close family like June and Fowler as guardian angels. Forever Angels together, Maybe the Autobots somewhat redeem themselves and defeat the Decepticons before promising to leave since they failed the humans by causing the death of the kids, but thats up to yall.
Then there's the good Autobots version! Which can be called 'An Angels guidance AU'
Almost the same in the death part but instead, the Autobots aren't crazed and while they do see the kids as their own family, they are still good, still protective but not kidnapping worthy. Instead they are either captured by the cons or by MECH, the same death happens but this time because they might torture them to death so Jack uses a hidden pocket knife to kill Raf and Miko before he can be stopped. He dies too, ends up in hell, and this time he did it not just to save Miko and Raf of a bad time but also so that the Autobots dont have to bargain their information to help them.
This one can be a bit different after this point, the bots find the kids dead, arguments happen, and later on the bots do defeat the cons with the near loss of Optimus (the kids died around the time Ultra Magnus and Smokescreen joined the team so they miss them too) but despite Optimus suriving they feel like they failed since they promised to protect the kids.
On Cybertron, things are getting fixed up when Sera arrives, telling them that they will have the help of earthly divinity to rebuild Cybertron, they accept and some of team prime suspect her and want to ask about the kids.
She brings down angels to help, and two angels some bots notice are a sheep and goat angel, both with similarities to Miko and Raf
Que reunions, sobbing, questions, and relief
Sera offers that they can come down from Heaven every now and then to visit and soon they become the Bot's guardian angels along with June's angels
Lol sorry for my rambling but yeah-
If yall wanna add ur ideas to this then put it in the inbox for questions and I'll see to it

@snowshinobi Hiiiii :3 I'm responding to your tags on a new post and not the original since the original was already somewhat lengthy, and I plan on being LONG and RAMBLY, but I have sooo many thoughts on what you said and I'm going to say them. Also my browser crashed TWICE (TWO TIMES. 2) when trying to write this post so I'm really fighting for my life out here to get my silly little OC posts done. Also it's under the cut because it's looooong as hell LMAO
Firstly, you're so nice to me forever <3 Secondly, I think you've basically hit the nail on the head. The majority of the issues Maggie has coming back from death and her 9 years gone are really tied almost exclusively to her close family, because she... never really had anyone else. While in-universe it's only 9 years, realistically the jump in technology and culture is around ~20-30 years (Maggie died in the 90s/early 2000s essentially, and wakes up in a just barely futuristic city), but... the most jarring thing to her in terms of what she missed out on is just. Flipphones are no longer popular. Other than her family, she's only close with one other person... who just so happens to be a ghost, and therefore both 1. Wouldn't change much over the timespan due to how long she's been a ghost and 2. Unlike her family, was aware that something happened, since she could see the ghost-of-a-ghost Maggie left behind (The ghosts name is Opal, she positions herself as a sort of "guardian angel" figure, though she's not actually, and serves as just another parental figure for Maggie while also getting after the ghosts that constantly harass her to pass on messages to the living). Maggie has no real relationships outside of her family, and while her relationships with her family are massively impacted by her unknowing death, other than that... the timeskip itself doesn't weigh on her because she had no one regardless. Her struggle to adjust to everything thats happened would've happened regardless of the timeskip for her, because she was such an isolated shut-in that it's the same whether it happened the next day, or nearly a full decade later
Tumblr media
So another very interesting thing is that you've actually completely seen where I was going with everything, in spite of everything I said being very surface level and not actually delving into the plot at all. I completely skimmed over Jenna (She's very important to the plot, but she's by in large a regular person as opposed to Maggie's... everything), but for some additional context, Jenna has a horrendously shitty homelife, so her moving in with Maggie is both a gradual process (It goes from spending time there, to spending nights, to eventually just never going back home and moving in fully), and also serves as an escape for her. Part of that is also, so vitally, the food aspect. For some additional additional context, souls essentially serve as a persons lifeforce, practically every bodily function is improved by a soul that's stronger, though the "strength" of a soul is essentially entirely random, and not dependent on the individuals actions of any kind. Maggie had a generally weird soul before (Seeing ghosts inherently means she has to have something going on with her soul), but when she wakes up after her death, her soul is now even weirder, and part of that is that it essentially lets her get away with bad habits she absolutely should be seeing more consequences for. She barely eats, and when she does, it's basically exclusively crackers and whatever other safe foods she has around the house, because actually making food is a level of care and effort she just... doesn't give to herself in the slightest. Part of Jenna staying with her is that Jenna, without really discussing it, entirely takes up the mantle of caretaker of the apartment, with the biggest task being food prep, Jenna sees Maggie's unwillingness to take care of herself and silently steps up and starts making her actual meals so she's eating properly.
The problem is is that this also kinda... just straight up sucks? Jenna doesn't think much of it, it's something that needed to be done so she's doing it, she wants Maggie to be well fed even if she won't do it herself, and she's already been responsible for making all of her own meals for years prior anyways, so it's just another thing she does. Except that's shitty! Maggie's seen firsthand how terrible her homelife is, and it really weighs on her how even in her escape from that, Jenna's still being put in a position where she feels like she must care for her or else she just won't eat properly. So food is such a massively important thing to both of them, it's this symbol of love for both of them, it's love on the part of Jenna, for stepping in and taking care of Maggie when she can't do it herself, and it's love on the part of Maggie, for realizing how her own bad habits impact the people she cares about and wanting to lift that weight by taking care of herself better. It's also very vital for Maggie because she just... doesn't... have hobbies. Learning how to cook becomes really her only hobby and she puts all of her love and care into it, because for the first time in a long while she's actually passionate about something! ...Unfortunately she also is very very bad at it. She's inventing new dishes like "Burnt Salad" and "Please Help I Fucked Up Kraft Mac N Cheese" and still having to have Jenna come in and help her. But it's the thought that counts, and it'll only be a matter of time before she can make something vaguely edible.
Tumblr media
And finally, the stuff about names! I didn't post it here, but while idly talking about her in a Discord server I'm in, I definitely think that had I made Maggie like even a few months later than I would've done she would've been nonbinary. As it stands right now though, I'm saying she's probably some form of genderweird but too busy trying not to die to think about it <3 Growing up knowing that ghosts are real and routinely being shut down by authority figures in her life about it has made her very aware of how bullshit a lot of things are and how the people who claim to be knowledgeable tend to not know what they're talking about (Beyond just the "people don't think ghosts are real", she's also got ghosts willing to tell her when people are lying because they've got nothing better to do than just gossip) , so if she spent even just a moment thinking about gender as a social construct she'd instantly recognize that and probably take up some form of genderweird label, but as it stands she's just too stressed with Being The Protagonist to think about that
Now, the thing with Margaret. I'm not even going to lie to you, I think you made a better connection to how a name connects with community in terms of the narrative themes than I did. The thing with Margaret denying the name "Maggie" existed for two reasons, the in-universe explanation is that, with the little scrap of soul Margaret has leftover from Maggie, it's essentially working overtime just to keep her vitals working, it can't dedicate time and energy to making her an individual with preferences and a personality, so part of that is that she doesn't respond to "Maggie" because ultimately, that is not her name. Her name is Margaret and she's not going to respond to "Maggie" because "Maggie" isn't her name. Of course, out of universe the reasoning is that I wanted an easy way to distinguish between Maggie as she is the protagonist, and the version of her that lived in the years she was gone, so different names makes the most sense.
I think your connection to how name relates to community genuinely works on a level I hadn't fully pieced together myself yet and I really love that because I think that absolutely works with everything. One of the main conflicts of the plot is how Maggie is entirely disconnected from her family thanks to the years she was gone, with Margaret having no priorities beyond "survive", she basically never spoke with her parents or brother for years. While her family tried to reach out to her repeatedly (Especially given that, while they're unaware the truth of what happened the night Maggie was murdered, they do know something happened, and they believe that whatever it was severely traumatized her, and that's where the sudden and drastic shift in personality came from), there's a point where they just... gave up. She wasn't trying to talk with them or contact them in the slightest, so around a year or two after Margaret moved out, her parents gave up on her. Her brother would still be there a bit, but he also didn't really... try... anymore.
When Maggie wakes up, she tries to call her parents... and they don't pick up. They'd grown resentful over the years, and now that Maggie wants to talk to them, they don't forgive her for the years of not speaking to them, and aren't interested in whatever she has to say after nearly a decade of trying to reconnect with her and being met with nothing. It's her insistence that she wants to be called Maggie that actually gets her brother to realize she's telling the truth and that something happened. She shows up at his door, already something that Margaret wouldn't have done, and that combined with her being visibly upset when he calls her Margaret and tells him that's not her and that she's Maggie, it signals to him that whatever's going on is real (...though he would've figured this out eventually, given that she also literally 17 again and not in her mid-20s, and has a giant glowing stab wound in her chest). I think it works absolutely perfectly as being a symbol of community, her disconnect from her community is what led to her being called Margaret, and her desperation to be returned to that community is when she's Maggie again. So uh. Congrats on getting the themes of my OCs better than I did <3
Tumblr media
And uhhhh closing thoughts! I honestly did still skim over the majority of the plot (Literally never even mentioned Eli or what's going on with her stab wound </3), but I think you reeeeally hit the nail on the head with everything I'm kinda getting at with these OCs, which is... frankly wild given how little main plot I actually got at. Basically everything I mentioned in my original post was the setup, not the main plot. But waaaaugh thank you for being so niceys to me and also giving me another excuse to ramble endlessly <3
#my OCs#uhhh MAGGIE FUN FACTS:#Animals can tell when a soul is weird so she has a colony of stray cats that hang around her apartment door#she doesnt even LIKE animals that much (She barely takes care of HERSELF shes not taking care of any animals.)#but they all like her weirdass soul and keep hanging around because of it#When the plot ends she gives one of the stray cats to her parents as a 'sorry i died' gift#The cats name is Marge- named by Jenna and also specifically its 'Marge' said in a Simpsons impression. any Simpson#It's Jennas FAVORITE cat out of the strays bc she says she looks like Maggie. also Marge is a male cat#Neither Jenna nor Maggie know how to tell the difference between a male and female cat reliably so they assume Marge is female- hes not#Also Eli's the closest to the 'main antagonist' the story gets. hes an old coworker of Margarets and basically her only friend#and Maggie's too scared with her whole 'is actively dying' thing and doesnt know how to tell him 'hey im not your friend- she died'#ELI thinks that Margaret is essentially have some sort of extreme mental breakdown and is trying to get her help bc he cares about her-#-unaware that Maggie is essentially a different person and doesnt know him#anyways uhhhh Maggie attempts to beat him to death with her laptop once. sorry Eli. luckily shes 17 and scrawny as fuck-#-so he's able to throw her off of him but its still. BAD#Maggie's got INSANE insomnia for a large variety of reasons- and falls asleep on the floor one night while on her laptop#Eli- having gotten off work late and going to check on Margaret- who hasnt shown up to work in weeks and isnt answering her phone#-spots Maggie passed out on the floor and assumes shes having some sort of medical emergency#Margaret had left her spare keys at work which he'd grabbed- so he lets himself in to get her to a hospital#Only for Maggie to wake up. With a strange man in her apartment in the middle of the night. Wuh Oh !#THIS time however- when she's home alone (shes not alone Jenna's asleep in the other room) and she spots a stranger in her house-#-she ends up with a fight reaction and NOT freeze <3#also her full name is Margaret Elisabeth Newell and her brothers name is Hawke#one of the very few times i will give my OC a full name- and entirely bc my friend suggested her last name LMAO#also she believes in bigfoot. GHOSTS are real and theyre WAY less believable than 'big ape' so she fully believes it#Opal keeps trying to tell her no that ones ACTUALLY not real and shes like uh huh. sure. ill believe it when i see it

Day 988 of 1095
I miss you my brother
You were like no other
Your talent surpassed any other
I wish I could've been more like you
All the many things you could do
As a child I would follow you
Hang on your every word
I looked up to you
I'd even wear
your hand-me-down clothes
Thats just what mom used to do
We were like twins at one point, who knew
We were seemingly just that close
But as time passed we grew apart
You went your own way
Like a ball straight out the park
You became estranged my brother
Like a stranger in the dark
We lost touch
attached only by our mother/father
Where did you go my brother
As you lost your way
Stumbling through life
Trying to fight your way back
You lost sight of what mattered
You became misplaced and scattered
But you are in heaven now so I pray
That you found your answers
I think about you every day
Wishing we had just found a way
To keep you here with us still today
But God didn't see it that way
Gone too soon, just ain't OK
Be well my brother
Come what may
We shall meet again, one day, this I pray
Until then may you watch over us
Be the Guardian Angel we need
By our side, is where we want you to be
Look out for us, never leave
As Life MooVes us like the oceans tides
Ebb and Flow is my kinda ride
Please protect us
as we dive
into these waves of life
As it is
Life can cut like a knife
Feeling this pain of you gone
Reality bites
but life must go on
None the less it hits us like a BomB
Your passing will haunt me forever long
Life just ain't easy sometimes
It feels like an 3nding to a song
That you wish would play on
And so it ends
Yet time MooVes on
So we continue to MooVe along
I will miss you my brother
Now that your gone
Now that heaven has called you home

Si la teoría dfo es cierta, ¿Entonces como es que bakugo sigue vivo? Afo nunca se entero del acoso y la tortura que hizo pasar bakugo a izuku? , si fue así se gustaria que izuku le reclame por eso.
Actually there are hints that afo is aware of the abuse izuku went through by bakugous hand. In the kamino arc when shigaraki asks afo for help with bakugou, afo is VERY happy and excited that shiggy asked him for help. He also gave subtle hints that he planned to turn bakugou into a nomou later. In the vestige world, he called izuku by the insults bakugou used to call him as and thats only possible if he knows enough about their past, otherwise there is no way how afo knows about that.
And lets not forget what happened to little tsubasa, one of bakugous minions in bulling izuku. Lets not forget that hori confirmed that little tsubasa was dr. Garakis grandson and was turned into the winged nomou who trys to "kidnap" izuku is hosu but is killed by stain. And yes that means dr. Garaki turned his own grandson into a nomou. Its not clear if little tsubasa was killed to be turned into one, or if he maybe died naturally and the doc turned his grandson into a nomou out of "grief". Because we know garaki loves his nomous, even gives them names and treats them like pets. But its indeed possible that afo ordered little tsubasa to be nomoufied as a punishment for abusing his child and garaki sees afo as a god. And his grandson hurtet the child of the man he sees as a god. Its not hard to imagine garaki would do that to his own grandchild in the name of his god.
The reason why bakugou wasnt turned into one? Well lets remember that afo focuses his nomou experiments normally on ORPHANS! And many orphanages belong to garaki. The chances that a hero finds out about a few missing orphans, nobody even cares about is very low, compared to if a boy like bakugou with an powerful quirk, a very loud personality and most importantly rich parents would go missing. Bakugous parents would have ask heroes for help to find him and the chance that all might or other heroes would get a clue about afo and the whole nomou thing is way higher. Garaki on the other side has control over the children in the orphanages. No parents or guardians who would ask heroes for help out of concern. Also due to izuku and bakugous "close" relationship as children and the fact that inko was most likely close enough to the bakugous too, afo would have shooved his family in the direct spotlight of heroes attention. Heroes or the police would have ask questions to friends of the family and by that afos family could have been discovered. But he doesnt want any of them to know - his family is a secret and needs to stay that! Kidnapping bakugou would habe brought him more problems then solutions and the danger for his family to be discovered is way to high, should heroes and police focus on them to find a missing boy. Also you can bet izuku the little angel he his, would have tried to find bakugou on his own, no matter what an awful little bastard bakugou was to izuku and that would have complicated things even more.
Also I think a part of him hoped that izuku would grow into hating their society due to the way bakugou and most others treated him like trash. Easier to ask him later to follow his fathers way.

another dream.., v vivid and intense that it woke me up too..,,
this one was about an older friend i had at my cc. irl i texted him recently to see if he wanted to reconnect. we stopped speaking bc of covid, he sorta dated my friend but it did not go well at all, and later he moved out of cali. so we kinda drifted apart but i’ve been missing him a lot recently so i texted him. he didn’t respond and idk if it’s bc thats no longer his number or bc he didn’t want to answer me. and i won’t know. we used to follow each other on insta but his insta has been deleted and he never followed me from a new one so i can’t contact him there. needless to say, i’ve been thinking recently that i’ve kinda “lost” this old friend that i really loved and cared about.
i looked up to him and recently, since i was thinking about him, i kinda got to realizing that i think i had a crush on him too. he was intense in a way that i liked. he was also funny and idk, maybe my memory is making my time with him sweeter in my head but i do know that i liked him! i don’t think he liked me in the same way but he def gave me attention i was not used to at the time.
in my dream, i did get to reconnect with him! he texted me and offered me to come visit him in some town that was full of trees and bushes. and it was like old times. we were hanging out in his bedroom and he was laughing and smiling. it was just good. he was packing up to go somewhere and wanted me to come. it felt kind of flirty too. i liked it. i’m not much of a flirter but i liked how it felt in my dream. he was v sex positive irl so i guess in my dream that translated to me seeing some of his sex toys that he was packing too. anyway, we got on a bus to go to this place. and my friend who he dated and another friend were trying to stop me. warning me that it wasn’t a good idea. it was like having guardian angels only i could see.
turns out he wanted me to meet some of his friends. and they were almost all white. and he also had a white girlfriend, it was so strange. irl i noticed he had a habit of liking almost only white ppl (inlcuding whitetinos) but i didnt think much of it (or tried not to). but idk in my dream it felt weird. like i think in my dream i had a feeling he liked me too but seeing him with a white girlfirned felt almost v direct. because i’m not white or a girl.
and i watched him hide away with her in a room and suddenly i felt young again and felt shame. like awkwardly standing in a beautiful kitchen surrounded by ppl i didnt know while my friend went away with his girlfriend. blonde hair, blue eyes, thin. and i felt like a fool. i felt old shame.
ended up waking up after that, and i think theres a lot of subconscious things going on in my head and my mind used him as a way to project. but it was also bittersweet to have him like me in return in my dream just to have it be ripped away from me by me.
not much more to say. it just felt very vivid and real.

an analysis/easter eggs/things that i've noticed on Tommyinnit's Unbeatable Method of Avoiding Sudden Death
spoilers, be aware psa: most of this was said by the creator themself on the final chapter, also this is a pretty long post
Easter Eggs:
the angel reaching tommy (the fic starts with angel approaching tommy and it end with the angel and tommy)
mention of how tommy is young (in his limbo he is 16 but in real life he is 12)
someone saying "tommy is not a hero"
mentions of how clementine is a blessing from the gods/his guardian/his saviour
a gun that cannot kill people
everytime that tommy is close to "dying" some miracle happens and he's saved (most, if not all, the times it happens with clementine present or because of clementine)
tommy avoiding the news
a lot of religious symbolism (tommy mentioning jesus, affirming that clementine is a gift from gods, calling michael a demon, etc)
clementine being "rebellious" (on my notes this started around chapter 5, starts to disagree more with tommy around chapter 14 and then this becomes prominent towards the end)
tommy subconsciously believing that he set fire to the building/city (mentioned in multiple chapters, first in chapter 6 and so on and on)
ranboo liking spaghetti
tommy childish behavior that can only be comprehended in the end of the fic
tommy playing with techno's sword (alluding to the real world were techno was into fencing)
tommy mentioning the five stages of grief
mentions of how the fic is supposed to follow the same ideas as cartoon shows about heroes (tubbo talking about how the characters don't have "plot armour" because they aren't the "main characters", tommy talking about a beach episode and bloopers, etc)
tommy always trying to be the one to save the others (how he reasures tubbo that hes the one supposed to save the others, saving techno on a mission, wilbur telling him that he saved them, etc)
the reality changing in a way that fits tommy the best (in my notes i said that the first time that we see this happening is when tommy goes to buy fast food and somehow got an order that they didn't have at first)
tommy missing the jump but wilbur catches him before he falls (it happens in chapter 9 and in chapter 28)
techno being defenestrated the most alluding to his death
techno not wanting to babysit tommy (chapter 10, chapter 14 and chapter 27)
tommy calling wilbur bald
chapters were is just a conversation between clementine and tommy
multiple mentions of how tommy is "not ready"
mentions of how tommy misses his family (chapter 18 with wilbur saying that "its okay" if tommy missed him, chapter 23 with tommy mentioning that he "missed this")
mentions of the world falling apart
tommy's mom loving clementines tea
the news on tv
tommy being a fan of vigilantes
wilbur singing
Paragraphs that are worth mentioning:
Tommy in chapter 6 about Tubbo:
“Shhh,” Tommy soothes calmly, “I’m reminiscing about our relationship. I’m grieving.” Tubbo stares at him in exasperation. “Grieving what?” “The end.”
Tommy about himself also in chapter 6:
Maybe he did die.
Now that he’s aware, he can feel the wind blowing through his hair, feels his soaked suit sticking to his body uncomfortably. He shivers."
Tubbo and Tommy in chapter 7:
"Tommy pouts, “Why are you leaving me?” Tubbo sighs, “Tommy you know I have to go at some point.”
also in chapter 7:
“No Ranboo slander in this household,” Tubbo says sternly, “I’ll be back soon Tom.” “You won’t,” Tommy sniffs, “You’re leaving forever.”
the world around Tommy while he's sick (foreshadowing):
"The world blurs for a second and he stabilizes himself against the wall."
Clementine in chapter 7:
“ Tommy ,” A voice croons for him. “ Wake up. Wake up Tommy,” It says, “ You need to wake up. This isn’t re-“
Tommy and Clementine in chapter 9, Tommy showing that he is on denial:
"Clementine does a flip. “No, no. We don’t talk about what happened. Nothing happened. I don’t even know what you are talking about, like I honestly have no idea what you are about. I don’t even know what heroes are. Who are heroes? That’s crazy, never heard of them. Do they even exist? That’s crazy. Clementine shut the fuck up,” He groans, shuddering as he relives the embarrassment of a lifetime. Clementine stares."
foreshadowing in chapter 11:
"Tommy glares at them. How do they not understand the severity of the situation? Children, the lot of them. “You will all understand soon enough,” Tommy sighs, shaking his head, “And then, you will feel deep, deep regret.”
foreshadowing again on chapter 23:
“Mhm,” He cries into the man’s chest, “Okay,” He believes. He chooses to believe Wilbur. “I’ve- I’ve missed this,” He confesses. I’ve missed you, he doesn’t say. “I know,” Wilbur hums. “It’s okay. Merry Christmas, Tommy.”
the narrative changing and the people around tommy realizing where they are/tommy and the people around him acting weird:
Wilbur in chapter 25:
“You can stop, if you want,” Wilbur looks him in the eye. Tommy’s grin freezes. “What?” “You can stop, Tommy. We don’t have to pretend anymore.”
Phil and Tommy on chapter 25:
"Phil frowns, offended, “You don’t like heroes.” “They don’t exist.” Phil laughs this time, slightly bewildered, “Mate, I’m a hero.” Tommy turns to him, eyes dulled, “Are you?”
Tommy and Jack on chapter 26:
“I mean, really, when have you actually helped someone? Other than yourself, that is,” Manifold scoffs. “You think you’re so above everyone here, above the world-“ “That’s because I am, ” Tommy stares, eyes hard."
my actual thoughts/analysis (this is very disorganized because it's literally just the notes the I made when i was re-reading):
Tommy's limbo is a world made by him, he aged himself up (he was 12 but 16 in the limbo) and i think thats one of the reasons of why swears a lot (in chapter 27 philza says that tommy could only swear in his adolescence)
Through the fic we can see how much Tommy resents and feels guilty about everything that happened, the multiple mentions of how he didn't know who "burned the building" are an example
i genuinely believe that the hoodie that he wears in the fic is wilbur's hoodie (in chapter 27 they are fighting because of a hoodie) and i think that is an indirect way of tommy saying "i love you" and "i miss you"
i also believe that the reason of why he lives in an apartment with tubbo is because he feels guilty for not being able to save him
In the beginning of the fic tommy deflects what happened and projects in a much lighter, much happier, way. He has a gun that cannot kill, he thinks that fire is "pogchamp", he jokes about defenestration, etc
At some point the world building start to get "weird", tommy being hired wouldn't make sense in the actual world but since it's a world made by a child with childish ideas he ends up getting hired anyways, a lot of times Tommy acts like a kid and not a teenager, later is explained that hes actually 12
Tommy also don't want to leave but he wants to be saved, this is shown when he begs for Clementine to save him in chapter 12, he wants his life back but he also wants Clementine to be part of it
Eneli starts to refer to the boys as brothers in cahpter 19, before this tommy was just an orphan (this fact is refuted in chapter 23, when tommy says that he "wasn't always a orphan")
Tommy struggles to say what Clementine is to him, probably because he realized that she is not his daughter but his mother, my best bet is that Tommy made Clementine to be his daughter because he couldn't bare the thought of having a mother, he mentions that "parents do the abandoning" and i feel like that its how he felt when his mother died, before he also mentioned how she already abandoned him once, he is also super protective of her, and in chapter 26 he almost lost her entirely. In some ways Clementine is death, and thats something that he cannot and does not want to deal with, but shes also his mother and he loves her (this can be see through the fic but especially in chapter 26)
I feel like Phil having wings is a red herring to fool the reader, this makes the reader believe that he is the one who saved Tommy in the beginning

id love to hear more about Jackie if you wanna talk about him :] no pressure tho. The art was lovely!
[OUTDATED]
ASDGHFUJG REALLY??? ok ok uhhhhh i dont have that much like…. put together its kinda just a disorganized mess but talking about him is my favorite hobby so 👍👍👍👍
his house burnt down when he was like 10 and he lived way out in the woods so he kind of just. stayed there alone EXCEPT for a giant winged talking cat (not suspicious) who basically served as a questionable guardian angel
until he found his way back into society and started going to school where he had a good life (including his gf anuba who i NEED to draw more cuz shes amazing and i love her) for a few years until surprise! his giant winged talking cat friend is actually an eons old goddess in disguise whos friends with/the older sister/aunt of another god who doesnt have a body but promptly possesses him and uses him to get what he wants.
anuba finds out about this almost immediately and goes mysteriously missing??? afterwards. (shes not dead dw) nobody else finds out despite her and jack’s best efforts and the god that possessed him uses him to start clawing his way up to becoming king of the country they live in
thankfully the god doesnt have control of him 100% of the time so sometimes jack can do his own thing and try to BREATHE a little and even adopts a kid! (who has their own story) hes not the best dad but he loves them a lot 👍👍 hes TRYING to be a good dad
and i think thats his story so far fjsjfndn sorry its… long and probably a bit confusing hes been around for forever and has gone thru MANY revisions and hes only one part of a larger story that im working on with my friend but hes my favorite part and i care about him a lot

omg em you are back im cRYING- i missed you so much. i logged in every single day only to get any updates on you and your health. you are finally here!
the last few days have been really, really bad for me, and i had no one to talk to. i wanted you back so bad, not to dump my load of problems on you, but to have our usual chats, because that was the only thing stable in my life right then (and right now).
but remember that you dont owe anyone the need to be online all the time. take your time to recover and be well rested. stay away from this site (and any other sites/social media) if thats what is required for you to get better.
i want you to know that i missed you a lot, more than i can express in words, trust me. hope you are doing better. take care and stay safe, em!
(i never thought i would have this kind of euphoric feeling for someone i have never seen or heard irl but here we are. god, you have no idea how happy i am.)

Just to put a general sum up of my main kh aus somewhere
Pirate au: Sora gets kidnapped by time travelling pirates who force him into the crew and it really just gets worse from there. But like, only for him. Everyone involved desperately needs therapy. But he also gets a qpr out of it so yknow, pros and cons <3
Guardian Angel au: fate just fucking HATES Sora in particular (whats new tho), which may or may not be related to him cheating death on accident as a kid, so he needs two guardian angels to keep his life going normally. He later finds out about said angels, also on accident. Cue shenanigans! but with angst. And many background plots. Seriously there is so much going on in this thing
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon au: despite the label this is in reality just me taking the kh universe and reshaping it like playdoh. The lore is a lego set and i am a 7 year old who wont read the directions. Its mine now. I made keyblade lore make sense and Ventus is Mew. Repliku has an actual name. Thats all u need to know. But it still has the PMD plotlines so u Will cry
"Repliku lived, fuck you" au: yes its actually called that, yes theyre alive. Everyone is. Sora is still missing but hes alive anyway so, yeah. Repliku joins with Roxas, Xion, Naminé, and Vanitas (against his will, at first) to form a lil support group for those who exist against all odds but its more of a hangout kinda thing bc none of them know what theyre doing. Ven visits sometimes as an honorable member. They all get to try out normal kid lives for once. None of them are cis

alright, here are some stories i've heard in the few years of my life:
when an ambulance passes by, and your dog or you neighbor's dog growls, the patient in the ambulance will die
every 40 seconds, someone commits suicide
schools here in the philippines used to be a cemetery
when your mood suddenly changes from happy to sad, its an indication what you're probably missing someone
if you sleep on the left side of the bed, you're used to be alone but if you sleep on the right, you are imagining someone is beside you
in 1980, a las vegas hospital suspend nurses because they were betting on who would die first
when you sleep by lying down on your stomach or straight body, those are the positions where bad spirits would crush/pin you down but its common for those with sleep paralysis
sleep is a temporary death and death is a permanent sleep
everyday is your birthday because you are born after a temporary death
if you dream about someone and their face is somewhat blurry, it either means that you were together during your past life, they are coming into your life, or looking at you while you sleep
whenever you dream that you're falling, your spirit came out of your body and fell. thats why it came back to your body
if you wake up at 2-3 am and see someone, when you wake up they're going to be there
people who cry a lot have the biggest hearts. those who crack jokes or laugh at the smallest things are the loneliest people
11:11 isnt about a wish, they say that if you see this number, that's your guardian angel fighting the devil and want to protect your spirit
those who sleep a lot are one of the loneliest people
left handed people die 3 years earlier than right handed people
there was a man who killed his wife and after many months he asks his child "your mother's been gone for so long, why arent you looking for her?" then the kid replies, "ha? daddy, mommy's always piggybacking on you"
the pinky promise originally indicated that the person who breaks the promise must cut their pinky finger
if you die between 23-30, someone is born on the same day and they will look like you
the shortest horror story only consists of 2 sentences: "the last man on earth sat alone in a room. there was a knock on the door"
it was legal to marry a dead person in france

the day you left ❆
Tumblr media
chris bang chan
genre: angst
word count: 0.9k
warning: death + thoughts of suicide + not proof read + based on hi bye mama
doctor!chris x fem!reader
A/N: its kind of short like the others + the ending is really bad like i really fell asleep on this-
masterlist
Tumblr media
you were pregnant with your first child after marrying your best friend and the love of your life, chris bang. it all started when your best friend, yuna took you out to a bar to watch a match for the summer olympics. yuna invited her boyfriend and chris to the match to watch and as they arrived, chris couldnt keep his eyes off of you.
you two had your up and downs, but was eventually made up. all the dates, gifts, and time together was never forgotten. one night, you and chris had a major big fight til you had to slam the front door and go to your parents’ house. chris knew better and asked his dad for advice. 
he ran to the nearest flower shop, thankful for the shop to be open at such a late time. after buying your favorite flowers, he thank the owner and quickly ran to your parents house. he rang the doorbell’s gate and waited. however, you were currently home alone and saw chans face in the camera. you ran out of the house and opened the gate.
“y/n! im sorry. everything made me stressed and i lashed it on you, please forgive me baby.” chris said and muttered things under his breathe while on his knees, begging for forgiveness and the flowers in his hands. “hey, who said im still mad at you?’. chris lifted his head up and saw the smile on your face. he stood up and went to hug you, whispering ‘i love you’ to you.
-
you were currently 8 months in. it was windy and raining out in seoul and chris was telling you not to go to work with the whole weather and you being pregnant. you insisted and continued packing chris’ lunch for work. 5 minutes later, you were out of the door.
walking to work wasnt that bad but did had a strange feeling. you were waiting at a light, waiting for it to turn green. a guy behind you didnt see where he was going, continuing to run. making a car almost hitting him, with you trying to protect your baby, you turned around and felt the car hit you, knocking yourself on the wet, cold concrete floors on seoul.
people on the street immediately call 911, realizing you were pregnant, they tell the ambalance to come quicky. your eyes start closing and all you heard was sirens.
-
you woke up and heard the doctor tell his co-workers to get chris. chris however was performing surgery on a patient. he made all the doctors and nurses make sure that the doors were locked and nobody could get a hold of him. you held the doctors hand next to you and whispered, “save my baby. please save my baby first” and you started to see black again.
the doctors did their best to save your life after saving your baby girl first. your heart couldnt handle and started dying on you. just as chris gets the news of his wife in the emergency room, he runs. chris gets to your room and hears the heart monitor beep with a flat line. he doesnt believe his ears and starts making a run to your bed. “y/n! wake up! please!” he starts shaking your body.
all the attempts of waking you up, its no use. hes now back in reality. his one and only, his sunshine, his best friend is no longer by his side. he cried and cried on the way home while memories were flooded of you and him together. 
2 days has passed and chris was still devastated. he missed your warmth, embrace, kisses, and just you. it was now empty in the house you two dreamed of having. a future with each other. now it was all drained away.
chris hesitantly looked at whats in front of him; a rope thats tied to the ceiling. his eyes puffy and red. he put his head through the loop, telling himself to just do it. but he heard something else. 
‘chris, please dont do this’
he knew. he knew it was you. he quickly got out of the loop and went on his knees. sobbing and screaming your name.
3 years later.
“hi mommy”, a soft voice was heard. the little girl waved at her moms gravestone. “i wish i met you mommy. daddy told me that you were very beautiful and wise, and now he says i look like you mommy!’
chris stood next to his daughter, tears streaming down his face. “i miss you y/n. we all do. its hard living without you by our side.” more tears started to fall from chris eyes. he bites his lips to not let out a sob.
“i-i really miss you. why did you have to leave so early” 
his daughter comes sitting down on his lap to wipe away his tears, just what you used to do. oh he just wishes that you didnt get into that stupid car accident. wishes that you were here with him and his daughter. both watching her grow up.
chris places the flowers, the exact flowers when he asked you out, on your gravestone. looking at your pictures, he knows you were looking down, watching him and your daughter as their guardian angel. chris says one last goodbye for the day as the little girl waves goodbye with a sad face. chris picks up the little one and kisses her cheeks. “we’ll get through this”, chris says sadly after leaving your gravestone.
‘ill be here, christopher. ill be looking down and protecting you two. ill always be here my love’

Guardian: Hand-Picked (collab)
Tumblr media
Summary: You had lived for years with just you and your guardian angel, Changkyun. But when Kihyun enters your world, things change – for the better.
Pairing: Im Changkyun x Yoo Kihyun x reader (not in a love triangle way)
Genre: guardian angel au / humour / fluff
Warnings: none
A/N: This is part of the Guardian collab with @this-song-thats-only-for-you​ and @goodnightkisseu​. It was an impromptu idea from one of those MX games by your zodiac sign, so we went with who we got and created a story from it!
Word count: 2651
Other stories in this collab: By My Side | Hidden Glances
Tumblr media
Your life had been pleasant for the most part. You had grown up well enough, leaving your awkward teenage years behind you and blossoming into an adult. Sure, you sometimes missed the simplicity of being a child without adult pressures, but you were naturally responsible and thrived with a lot of the new chances you had as grown-up making your mark in the world.
You would go to work, enjoy hanging out with friends and exploring new places when you had the chance to. And when the day was over, you would return to your apartment, cook dinner and then snuggle up with a good movie or book before going to bed and starting it all over the next day. It hadn’t felt like you needed any change to this daily in and out lifestyle you lived. You were content with what you already had.
Meeting Yoo Kihyun, however, changed all of that. Having a boyfriend was a new experience. Going out was now with someone who would hold your hand and smile endlessly at you. He would feed you the most delicious meals and whisper the sweetest compliments. If you had ever dreamed of having someone in your life, you were sure you had wished for Kihyun. He was exactly who you could ever want in a partner.
And you had your guardian angel to thank for that.
“Don’t go out today,” Changkyun warned you explicitly as you walked back and forth from your small bathroom to your not much bigger bedroom preparing for the day ahead. He followed right behind you, tapping you on your shoulder and letting out whines, the next more outlandish than the last. “Y/N, don’t! It’s going to end badly.”
“What is? I’m perfectly fine now, am I not?”
He rolled his eyes. “Because you’re home with me.”
“I can’t imagine anything changing for the worse, Kyun. I’m just going to work like I usually do.”
“And I’m just telling you what I feel in my stomach. It’s my job to pre-warn you of ill-fated events, Y/N.”
You shot Changkyun a hard look. “Last month you told me the same. I stayed home and you realised halfway through the day it was just indigestion. Which, I cannot believe an angel can suffer from!”
“Okay, so I made one mistake--”
“And two months ago you told me I would be in trouble so I again stayed home and then realised it was because you were cold and wanted to snuggle up all day long!”
Sitting down on the edge of your bed so you could put on your socks, Changkyun knelt before you, placing his hands on both of your knees.
“--a lot of mistakes, then. This time, Y/N, I’m not using my abilities to benefit me. Stay home, please. I don’t feel good about this.”
Letting out a sigh, you patted one of his shoulders affectionately. “I’ll be fine. And I promise if I feel odd at any point, I’ll just turn around and come back home.”
“It doesn’t work that way, Y/N!” he exclaimed as you got up and brushed passed him, shrugging on your coat and stepping into your boots. Changkyun swiftly took place in front of the door shaking his head. “I’m being serious. Don’t go.”
“I didn’t work for an entire month on this presentation to miss it, Kyun. I’ll be home later.”
Stepping under his arm, you opened the door and started your trek through the rain to the subway.
From here, you knew fewer details. Changkyun had informed you that you had ended up walking across a road that a car had suddenly lost control on and careened around, hitting you right as a man pulled you to safety.
And that was how you had met Kihyun in the first place.
When you woke in the hospital, he had been at your side, immediately relieved to see you alert again. And all you had noticed was the gash on his cheek and a forlorn-looking Changkyun behind him.
He had sent Kihyun forward to save you at the last minute.
What Changkyun – or even you, admittedly – hadn’t been prepared for was how much of an impact Kihyun’s arrival in your life would make.
And now, you were packing up the last of your things and moving in with your boyfriend of a year.
Much to Changkyun’s disdain.
“How are we meant to still live together?” Changkyun wondered as you zipped your luggage bag full of your necessities shut. He shifted back and forth across the tiny space of your bedroom and threw his hands in the air. “This is not what we should be doing, Y/N.”
“You’ve seen Kihyun’s apartment, it’s double the size of this place. There will be plenty of room for us to still live together.”
“I’d rather live in this shoebox for the rest of your life. Or move somewhere bigger. Just the two of us.”
“On my salary?” you mentioned, raising an incredulous eyebrow at the angel. “Seriously?”
“So let’s just stay here. We’re cosy here.”
“I can’t expect Kihyun to move in here!” you replied with a giggle, lifting your luggage off the bed. “This place barely fits us!”
“Let’s not move in with him at all.”
“You sound like a petulant child, Changkyun,” you warned and he rolled his eyes dramatically.
“I don’t care. I like it being just you and me.”
“And I like Kihyun, a lot. So can’t you be a little accommodating with this change?”
His immature grunt ended the argument but the stormy mood followed you all the way over to your new home, a scoff leaving him when you stretched up to kiss Kihyun in greeting.
“Is this really happening?” your boyfriend breathed as he held you tightly. “I don’t have to wake up tomorrow and send you back home?”
“I wish you would,” the angel muttered, unbeknownst to Kihyun.
“Instead we get to wake up in each other’s arms every day,” you offered and Kihyun grinned, kissing you briefly before blinking really fast. You frowned. “What is it?”
“I turned up the thermostat earlier but it’s suddenly so cold in here! You’re not freezing, are you?”
Sending a glare to the angel now playing with the heating system, you then tried to smile at Kihyun. “It’s going to be fine together; I’m sure whatever it is will settle down soon.”
Tumblr media
Except, Changkyun didn’t settle any.
It was obvious that he was bitter and targeted Kihyun immaturely. And whenever your boyfriend wasn’t around, you were endlessly scolding him for his antics, telling him to stop being so rude to someone you cared about. You didn’t think you were being unreasonable, and considering Changkyun had sent Kihyun to your side, you had expected him to be relieved that you had someone he had handpicked.
Still, Kihyun was uncomfortable most days. “I had the worst sleep last night.”
“Did you? I slept so well,” you murmured, coming over to rub your partner’s shoulders gently. “Any reason why?”
“Something kept tickling my nose but every time I looked, there was nothing there!”
You narrowed your gaze on the angel eating toast across the room.
And when Kihyun went to take his shower, you rushed over and slapped the back of his head. “I swear to god, you are being so immature, Changkyun! Stop annoying Kihyun.”
“Maybe he’d have a better night’s rest sleeping in the guest room.”
“And why would he want to sleep there? Where would you then sleep?!”
“With you, like I used to.”
“Don’t be so ridic-”
“Y/N?” Kihyun called weakly, standing in the threshold and watching you in confusion. “What, or who are you talking to?”
“Uhhhhh.”
“Maybe I should show myself to your lover. You look insane right now,” Changkyun mused and you let out a small shriek before stomping off to the bedroom and slamming the door shut.
Even if a locked door could keep Kihyun out, it would be no match for an angel. However, you had become incredibly skilled in ignoring Changkyun when he annoyed you too much. And since he hated when you ignored him, it was as effective as a locked door was.
“Y/N, stop, come on! It’s me, Kyun! Don’t be so petty!”
You remained focused on the wall ahead of you.
“Fine, I’ll stop being so mean to him. I just don’t like Kihyun!”
“Why?” you asked and he breathed out in relief at finally garnering your attention.
“Because he’s, well he’s-”
“Because you think I pay him more attention than you, isn’t that right? You’re not used to sharing.”
The angel shrunk back, muttering under his breath and then nodded once.
“Kihyun thinks I’m absolutely insane now. You better help me fix this.”
“You have a what?” your boyfriend breathed once you had explained everything to him, staring at you with round eyes.
“Everyone has one,” you told him calmly. “Just some people aren’t aware of who they are. I had an incident when I was a kid where I fell out of a tree and Changkyun – my angel – was there when I woke up. Since then, he’s been with me every day.”
“Even when we’ve been dating?”
You nodded.
“And in the bedroom when we’re…?”
“Good god, I would never want to see that,” Changkyun retorted with a generous shudder as you shook your head repeatedly.
“No, but I lived with him before I met you and-”
“You lived with him?”
“As friends,” you reiterated and Changkyun nodded firmly. “Well, more like family. He’s a brother to me.”
“And he’s the reason we met that day?” You nodded to answer Kihyun’s question. “I always think about why I boldly stepped out that day as if I knew I had to. I didn’t even know what I was doing until it happened. And you’re saying some angel of yours made me?”
“Changkyun, show yourself, please,” you asked and with a sigh, Changkyun did whatever he had to make himself known to Kihyun.
And when he caught sight of him, Kihyun gasped noisily. “I know him!”
“You do?”
“I saw him right when I saved you.”
“Well, now he’s a believer,” Changkyun surmised disinterestedly, pointing to the kitchen. “Can dinner be started soon? I’m hungry.”
You took a deep breath, hoping that this was the right step forward to make both the most important men in your life live together with more ease.
Tumblr media
It wasn’t just Changkyun now. You stared back at Kihyun, trying to fathom what he had just said. Your boyfriend pointed harshly to the angel now taking refuge behind you. “Again?!”
“You forgot to set me a place at the table!”
“You do know how sensitive Changkyun is about food,” you agreed weakly and Kihyun scoffed.
“Still, he made the water run cold on me right as I got the shampoo in my hair! What are you? Four years old?”
“Try adding on centuries to that!”
“My head hurts,” you proclaimed, moving over to the couch before glaring at both men who followed. “Can’t you both just get along for one day?!”
“He started this!”
“And so that gives you enough reason to take it out on me like a baby?!”
“You’re both acting like children,” you told them and folded your arms across your chest. “This is exhausting.”
“He’s got to go, Y/N!”
“Me?!” Changkyun echoed and laughed bitterly. “I was here first, if anyone has to go, it’s you, lover boy!”
“Anyone would think you have a crush on my girlfriend! In case you’ve forgotten, Y/N sees you as a brother. And I’m not going anywhere!”
“You know what?” you offered, standing back up as both men reached for one another. “I’ll go!”
“What?”
“Where would you go?” Kihyun added as you stalked over to the front door, collecting your bag from the entryway shelf. “It’s cold out today.”
“I don’t think it’s wise to leave, Y/N.”
“Well, I don’t care what’s wise or cold. Right now, I want to escape the both of you! This is getting ridiculous and I want to get out of here before I snap! Do not follow me in any way or I’ll never come back!”
And then you slammed the door behind you and stormed out into the street.
For an hour or two, you simply wandered, allowing your sour mood to dissipate whilst you walked wherever your feet would take you. After three hours, you took refuge in a coffee shop, thanking the clerk for bringing you a warm beverage that melted away any remaining chill within you as you sipped at it. For another hour, you watched the people go by and after six hours away from home, you decided to have a meal before heading home. It was really late now, and for once, you felt a little out of your comfort zone. You were never out this late alone and it made your footsteps hurried until you saw the apartment building.
There, you slowed right down to a snail’s pace; concerning yourself with the possible scenarios you would find when you opened the front door. You knew Changkyun couldn’t be badly harmed, and angels were sworn not to physically harm another. Still, you worried they were still fighting away with each other, and you really didn’t have the energy to face that.
You prepared yourself to simply enter the house and sleep in the guest room alone tonight. Instead, when you walked through the door, you heard a loud gasp and combined movement towards you.
“Thank god, you’re safe.”
“Don’t ever leave us like that again, Y/N.”
“Don’t you know how worried we were?”
“We?” you repeated as both men smothered you in their arms, neither fighting for more of you than the other. “Who’s we?”
Kihyun pulled away and Changkyun stepped to his side. “We’ve called a truce.”
“We decided we had something in common.”
“You do?” you asked and both men nodded happily.
Changkyun smiled. “We both love you a lot. Of course, in our own ways.”
“And not having you in our lives – existences – is unbearable.”
“So don’t leave us ever again, okay?”
You tried to not smile too widely. “You mean it?”
“Plus, I like this house, and Kihyun’s food.”
“Changkyun’s like the little brother I never had,” Kihyun quipped.
“Well, does this mean I won’t hear fighting anymore?”
“Of course!”
“We’ll be on our best behaviour!”
“Good, because I can’t handle the best people in my life at odds with each other,” you concluded, hugging them both individually.
“You ate without us?” Changkyun suddenly accused after inhaling into the hug and Kihyun gaped at you.
“We were sick with worry and you ate?”
“Well, I got hungry and-”
“Don’t worry, Kyun, I’ll make us something delicious.”
“Good, and Y/N isn’t allowed any.”
“Of course not!”
You laughed and shook your head; at least they were getting along, which was what you had hoped for so long now.
Tumblr media
Life wasn’t as quiet as it once was. You’d still come out to find both of them bickering over something, but you just learned that it was how they were. Equally, they were the type to hold onto one another watching sad movies instead of you and even you had jealous moments when it came to their bromance.
But you were thankful. Not only had Kihyun saved you, but he had saved Changkyun too. You had lived far too long stuck in the same routine in the same small space that you hadn’t hoped for anything more than that.
Having chaos in your world meant you were always waiting to see what would happen next. And you realised that this suited you far better. You got to spend your days with your best friend and the love of your life. Sometimes that would be a blessing or a curse, but you knew you wouldn’t have it any other way.

I had to actually look back to see if I made any tumblr posts about these guys. I couldn’t find any??? So I guess this is my oppertunity to scream about these absolute fucking bastards.
Now. Um. Forewarning: I don’t actually know a lot about the original dreamtale. Or, I don’t keep up with it, at least. I read the first origin comic (and a bit of the cream ship comic) one time a while ago and... i dunno. found it lacking? I liked the premise but there was something distinctly missing in it for me. So these headcanons are more like an AU (an AU of an AU, surprise surprise, I’m on my shit again XD) that I thought up to help me enjoy the concept more when writing it. I’ve been calling it ‘Dr33mtal3’ in my head, but a friend named it ‘Dryad Dreamtale’ so either of those names work.
So. Dream and Night are tree spirits shaped like skeletons, born of the tree of duality to be its guardians. They were made to be more like monsters to better protect the tree and put its power to use.
Now, plants and gods (and especially god-plants) have very different ideals, morals, and expectations than mortals and humans and monsters. Dream and Night are half plant/god, but they are also half monster/mortal, so they cannot relate entirely to their tree mom or completely understand her. Likewise, she could not completely understand them. Thus, the twins understandably had a stressful, dysfunctional childhood and have long lasting mommy/daddy issues.
They also suffer from significant other kinds of trauma inflicted on them by their villager guardians.
So they are both psychologically fucked up.
They both have “wings” and “tentacles” but Night hides his wings and Dream hides his tentacles. Night’s wings are smaller than Dreams.
they aren’t actually tentacles though. they are roots and vines. because they are tree spirits. using those roots/vines, they can directly soak up energy and water. likewise, the “feathers” on their wings are actually leaves (except near the base and ridges, which are more like flower petals). they use these leaves to breathe in ambient emotions.
when injured, they bleed resin. that goop on nightmare? excess sap/resin he’s overgenerating thanks to consuming so many apples.
usually only strong internal emotions would make them do that. its only because of such strong internal emotions that nightmare continues to do that even after a thousand years.
i think that, being plants (which are terribly spiteful and innovative creatures) night and dream can control the consistency and nature of their sap and resin. dream keeps his sweet and sugary at all times, but nightmare switxhes between spicy-like-ghost-pepper-in-the-face caustic and rubber, and mild maple syrup, depending on his mood and how much he wants the person he is touching to hurt.
i think that dream is both terribly selfish and painfully selfless all at once, both kind and cruel. i think he is a very seelie fae who will never break a promise, but will not let you go unpunished for breaking yours. i think he has no problem breaking your legs if it means saving you from something else. dream will happily beat someone within an inch of their life, then nurse them back to health, if he thinks for a moment it is for the greater good.
nightmare goes to great lengths to make people hate him. at the end of the day he is as disgusted with himself as anyone else, but he does it and will keep doing it because if no one fears him, they will destroy him. nightmare is a terrible unseelie fae, but he will never speak an untrue word or break an oath once struck. it is not in his nature. he will rule with an iron fist, but he is just as capable of selflessness as he is of cruelty.
i think dream is so concerned with the big picture he sometimes forgets little details. i think he is the type to take in strays before he has a home to keep them in. he befriends ink and ink makes him a multiverse home to keep his people safe in. dream then takes it upon himself to make sure it stays operational, despite eventually accumulating a city’s worth of people in what was originally a 4 bedroom townhouse. lucky him that ink has his back, continually expanding as needed.
i think nightmare is far more artistic and clever than folks give him credit for. i think he enjoys making things. i think he is the type of man to take great pride in building everything he has himself. his castle is made out of his own power: stone made of his own resin, hardened into amber; wood grown from his own bones; tapestries woven of textiles made from his own leaves, pets, and processed wood. his castle of black amber is constructed of his own blood, sweat, and tears, lovingly handcrafted art for him to live in. all natural. all his. (such a shame he never got around to furnishing all of it, having only enough time and drive to do the first floor with how long handweaving the carpets took; such a shame no one noticed or cared because the fear for their lives overshadowed any awe they could have had upon seeing the delicate craftsmanship of the arching ceilings and looming statues).
i think dream and night both love fresh water and sunlight. they get incredibly sleepy if its too hot or too cold. they are terrified of fire, squirrels, fungi, and insects. they dont like birds much either. they easily get jealous of other plants (comically so, to the point of sassing or threatening or passive-aggressively insulting non-sapient rose bushes or fica or succulents they come into contact with). they are scared of mistletoe (being a plant that eats other plants, kinda).
i hc that dream with faint dead on his feet if he gets too scared, and nightmare screams like a white girl in a horror movie.
i like to think that because they are trees, they have a “season” (like heat, but for trees) where they are very pro-affection. their leaves turn pink and they involuntarily cover themselves in pink pollen that drives nearby creatures’ libido into overdrive. neither brother likes this, so when their season hits they hide away so nobody notices (night because he does not want to seem weak, dream because he does not want to inconvenience anyone else).
i like to headcanon that a holdover from their human attributes means each brother can only formulate one set of sex organs. i’ll give you a hint: nightmare is trans in my hc (be gay do crime). he takes great pains to make sure nobody knows this.
i like to think that both brothers hide all of this, hide all of their tree-ness as best they can, and instead hide behind the aspects of being an angel and a tentacle abomination in order to throw off anyone who might look for weaknesses. so nobody knows what they really are.
These are all superficial HCs of course. The big thing is that i wanted their natures to be... more complicated than simply good and evil. They believe and say that they are guardians of positivity and negativity (and in a way thats true), but only in its most simplistic of forms.
Dream is the aspect of Giving: he radiates pollen and magical influence to embue those around him with his power. He can give them emotions. He eats positivity, thats what sustains him, but his power is to give. He could just as easily give his people bad feelings as good ones (not that he knows this). However, Dream only knows and cares about giving positivity. So he does. He leaves his magic and influence on the souls of anyone who will give him the oppertunity, and once the door is open, he will continually feed them his power to make them happy. He will eat/breathe that happiness, converting it to energy, perpetuating the cycle.
But unmitigated mania has its drawbacks. There is a price to be paid in the end.
Nightmare is the aspect of Taking. He takes and takes, taking the emotions and energy of others for himself. He can even take the entropy out of an injury to heal a wound. Nightmare can take positivd feelings out of others, but for some reason his body doesn’t like him doing that and makes him sick/hurt. He has a much easier time taking negativity, draining away the hurt and fear and exhaustion, leaving a calming emptiness behind. Nightmare cannot process or use everything he takes for himself, needing to expell it as a waste product. He converts negative feelings (and the wasted energy disipated through entropy) into energy, which lets him continue his taking.
You cannot fill a hole that is already filled, after all. You must empty it first.
These two aspects are neither good nor evil in and of themselves. There are good and bad things about them. But these aspects have been oversimplified and misinterpreted by those around the twins that even they themselves do not fully understand what it is that they are.
and i think a story about them coming to understand themselves would be so much more interesting than a simple story of good vs evil.

assalamualaikum faiza, hope your doing well! i was hoping you could give some tips to pray on time. i procrastinate a lot in all things and it gets into my way of prayers, sometimes i even miss them bc i just cant seem to just do it ! (it makes me sad but its so overwhelming sometimes) bc i know if im praying it should be perfect which usually comes into play for my procrast. and even for reading Quran. thank you for any help! 💕 (feel free to answer whenever you can💖)
walaikumsalaam anon!!!! thats a v v common issue, so please dont beat yourself up for it!
i think what helps me, in terms of salah, is praying it as soon as i possibly can. bc then i get lazy and then i'll say "yeah in half an hour, yeah in half an hour", and then i rush it and ... i feel bad bc salah isnt meant to be rushed. so that also helps, taking your time and praying salah. slow down, and dont rush through it. and what helps to do that, is to know the meaning of what you pray and what the actions you do in salah actually mean (like the sujood, raising your hands for niyyah, doing tasleem and salaam). ya know, what does Allahuakbar really mean? yes, it means Allah is the Greatest, but what does that mean for me? personally, it means that here i am, in front of Allah, and i completely am submitting myself to His Greatness, that i am nothing without Him and that He is Greater than all my problems and worries and anxieties, so He'll be my Guardian. that then generates a form of closeness to Him. what does Surah Fatiha actually mean? iyaakana'budu wa iyaakanasta'een. what does that actually mean? it is You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help. what does that mean to you? that He is your Lord that you're right now worshipping and only He is your true source of help and guidance, so say it with conviction, that you NEED Him, and He IS listening and He WILL help. so yeah, go through what you pray in salah, and find out what it means, what that means to you, for your current situation. and that will help make you feel more engaged with your salah. we can't reach perfection, and you are expressing that to Allah in your salah, and Allah knows this, but, as the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said in a hadith, " Allah says that I am as My servant thinks of Me." so have good expectations from Allah, and pray that Allah accepts your ibaadah, and insha'Allah, He sees you trying, so He will accept it from us, allahumma ameen! and always remember, when you're praying alone, angels are surrounding you left, right and behind. thats .. subhanallah! what i'd also recommend is start with fajr, and waking up for fajr, bc thats the hardest one. once you get into praying fajr regularly on time, the other salahs just, come easier.
and for reciting the qur'aan, what worked for me from a v v young age was listening to the qur'aan being recited. so i would listen to my nana (my ammi's dad) when he would pray after fajr salah in pakistan, or when my dad would pray, or when we would watch taraweeh live from Makkah on TV. and then i started learning more about the different qaaris (Qur'aan recitors) around the world, and currently, my absolute favourite qaari is sheikh raad al kurdi, from iraqi kurdistan. i am in LOVE with the way he recites the Qur'aan, i listen to him more or less every single day. so, i personally advice to find a qaari that you like, and listen to them recite, often when you can, or especially when you're domotivated. that will bring the love of wanting to pray the Qur'aan in yourself. what also helps is understanding and appreciating what the Qur'aan is. so, most qaaris on youtube have english translations, so read the english as you go along and you'll really appreciate just how beautifully put together the Qur'aan is, the stories and teachings in it, how it makes you learn about the other prophets (peace be upon them all), and other religions, and how Allah made the universe, how to be a better person and what those characteristics are, and what the Day of Qayaamah (judgement) is etc. and when you're reading the Qur'aan, always remember that you're reading Allah's miracle, you are reading Allah's own words and kalaam, there is no human intervention in the Qur'aan bc Allah Himself has taken an oath to preserve it until the Last Day, so it is divine down to its truest form. and when it comes to habit and quantity, honestly, go at your own pace. set your own pace.
i hope that can help in some small way, insha'Allah! rabanna taqabbal minna! allahumma ameen! 🧡
