Inspired by this prompt by @whygodohgodwhy

Idk what I wrote but I wrote so here ya go

“I don’t think of you as a friend, I think of you as a stray dog that came unexpectedly into my life and into my heart.” “I’m a dog to you?” “A stray dog. And, yes, you literally climbed into my open car door, curled up in my lap, and you have not left me alone since. I love you, but that could have gone terribly wrong for you.”

That day… 

I'd spotted a hero-car parked outside my apartment building. Well, parked in front of an apartment building. On the opposite side of the road. But, hey, they had gotten the floor number right, gotta give the agency props for something. If they keep it up, they’re bound to get a right address one of these days. Go get ‘em, Boys and Girls in tights, we believe in ya.

So anyway, I was having a bad day. You know, the works. Fiance dumped me two weeks after I lost my job, three weeks after my first breakdown. I tell myself it’s better this way. Found out she definitely was not with me in sickness. 

I understand the breakdowns would’ve scared her off. Lots of crying. Like, lots. With a handful of panic attacks sprinkled in. Of course, I don't blame her or hold a grudge or think she’s a bad person. But I thought our love was real, y'know? 

But I feel I had a personality switch, I don't feel like the same person I was before, not happy enough, not energetic enough. So maybe I guess I wasn’t the person she had fallen in love with. Well, I hope she had fallen in love with. Maybe, she hadn’t actually. 

What was I talking about? Sorry, my mind’s not what it used to be.

Right. Bad day. My brain felt like it was about to explode. There was pounding inside, like someone was hitting my skull with the back of a hammer. I didn’t want to go back home, I didn't want to be alone. Or maybe I did. Maybe that’s why I was walkin’ the streets hummin' to myself. 

Then I saw it. 

My hero.

Give me a break. 

Well… I shouldn't be so mean. Hero did give me a break. Very heroic of them. Very cliche, but when your life takes a turn for the worst, some predictable cliches can be… nice.

Their car door was open, and I could see they had a fluffy blanket in their lap. I knew it was a hero. I used to be good at my job, believe it or not. So I could tell it was a hero-car and not a cop car. And the staker-outer was a hero with powers instead of a cop with a gun. 

Why was their car door open? Who knows. Okay, I'm trying to sound cool, I admit it. I do know why it was open. They were about to get out, but they were gonna be a slow getter-outer. They had gotten distracted by something on their phone. Maybe the agency had suddenly gotten competent and wanted to let them know they had the wrong building.

So I see the open door. I see a blanket calling my name. I see a hero which in my head means safety, a cop or a civilian would have me killed. My mind is in a bad place. I see safety. I see soft. I don’t want to go home. I’m tired. I see a blanket. It looks soft…

...

“So, why did you walk into a stranger’s car?”

Ex-Villain stopped stroking the rim of their full glass of water, knocked out of the memory.

One day they would answer.

But not today.

They gulped down their water and the fresh pain the memory of that day had brought back.

Random prompt #84

"Just go away! I don't want to see you ever again!" The hero shouted, whipping around and glaring at Villain with a passionate hatred they had never seen on their enemy's face before. The usual fond warmth Hero had when they looked at the criminal was replaced with a relentless fire that made Villain look away, afraid to be burnt further.

"Hero, please, it wasn't me-" Villain tried to explain, their words cut off by the hero's much louder, angrier ones. Their heart broke as they listened, watching hot tears fill the corner of their eyes as they yelled.

"Then who was it, Villain? Who else would know where we meet every last weekend of every month?" Hero's hands moved furiously in the air. "Who else would know of all of my fears? My weak-spots? Exactly how to hit me where it hurts the most?"

Villain paused, eyes searching for anything but the flames in Hero's eyes. They didn't know. They truly didn't.

After a moment of silence, a scoff left the hero's lips and they turned with a hiccupping breath, fists clenched at their sides. Villain moved quickly with a sudden rush of adrenaline, gently grasping one of their lover's hands in their own.

"Don't touch me." Hero hissed, yanking their hand away, tears now freely falling down their face. They set into a jog, leaving a heartbroken villain behind them.

Idea for book, innocent civilian with single mom gets amnesia turning into the villain, goes on a killing rampage and is about to kill their mother without knowing it’s her. Villain says something along the lines of, “I’m going to kill you and everyone you love” mom responds saying, “I wouldn’t want you to have to kill yourself *insert cute childhood nickname*” AND THE MEMORIES COME FLOODING BACK LIKE *waterfall noises* and then they hug (idk the rest)

to me, the most fascinating (and utterly unintentional) feature of TAZ Balance's narrative structure is the way that on the first listen, Tres Horny Boys are the audience surrogates because they, much like us, have no idea what the fuck is going on, but on all subsequent relistens, then Lucretia, and sometimes Barry, and arguably especially Lup in the umbrella become the new audience stand-ins, because just like us, they are, in fact, painfully aware of what the fuck is going on :)

#taz #taz balance #taz balance spoilers #lup taaco #barry bluejeans #lucretia taz #and i really cannot say *especially* lup enough times #like lucretia and barry have their own meta roles in the story within the story #the meta-narrator and the meta-narrator's chosen meta-villain #but lup is the meta-audience #whenever thb wear red or joke about bringing barry back and we as the savvy audience get incredibly sad about it #lup is right there with us #she knows the twists and she knows the backstory and she is an observer who cannot tell anyone or save anyone #until she finally *can* #i love stories about stories and i love lup!

I actually love it in fics when Shen Yuan looks a lot like Shen Qingqiu, because of the sheer comedic effect of contrasting that with Shen Yuan in his own head going "hmm nah this face is totally different" and sticking to that.

Possible explanations for this include:

Shen Yuan is very faceblind, so he thinks he looks different from Shen Qingqiu because everything around his face is different.

Shen Yuan did notice a suspiciously strong resemblance to the original scum villain, but his subconscious immediately decided that it did not like ANY of the possible explanations for that and so he instead fixated on the minor differences until he convinced himself that they were major ones. This happened almost instantaneously.

Shen Yuan's dislike of the original Shen Qingqiu was so strong he downgraded his looks and distanced himself from acknowledging anything positive about him, including any shared resemblance, because he was determined not to accidentally approve of the hated scum villain.

Transmigration is so jarring that Shen Yuan legitimately only noticed what was different about his "new" body, because anything similar was ignored as normal.

The mirrors in PIDW world suck. Shen Yuan assumes Shen Qingqiu looks significantly different because the fuzzy reflection has a stronger jawline. The plant body doesn't, which is why he decides it actually does look more like his old body and then tries to glue a beard over it.

Shen Yuan is so inclined to fixate on the details of other men's looks that he has no ability to assess his own. This is also part of his labyrinth of subconscious defense mechanisms against identifying uncomfortable truths about himself. Can't acknowledge what's going on with you if you turn your own sense of self into a big blind spot!

Shen Qingqiu did look different from Shen Yuan when Shen Yuan first transmigrated in, but gradually over time his features have been physically shifting to resemble Shen Yuan's more and more. The system makes sure no one notices by just as gradually convincing them that Shen Qingqiu has always looked this way. It would be spooky, if anyone involved could actually perceive the change.

Shen Yuan and Shen Qingqiu look different in terms of technical features, but they make a lot of the same facial expressions and have a lot of the same mannerisms, so unless they're just standing still and not doing anything they strongly "resemble" one another.

For some reason Shen Yuan is actually seeing a different face from the one everyone else is seeing.

Everyone in PIDW world looks kind of similar because there are only so many ways to interpret Shang Qinghua's recycled flowery descriptions that all essentially gave 90% of the population the same handful of conventionally attractive features, and Shen Yuan doesn't notice his resemblance to Shen Qingqiu because it's not that much greater than his resemblance to anyone else.

“Welcome to Villain Con! Happy to see so many villainous faces this year! I hope my presentation does your future career at my company justice — Let’s begin.”

After the presentation and 10 minutes for questions and application forms, Villain was pleased to leave the conference room with a healthy stack of papers. 

This had been one of their best presentations yet! And the candidates all seemed so charming and sinister too!

Villain went back to their booth at the career fair and took out their lunch. There was still an hour to go till the convention ended, and they already had over forty applications. Would it be in poor taste to go through them right now? 

Maybe. 

So they decided not to chance it. 

For lunch, they had gotten an apple, a few shawarmas, and some coconut biscuits. Their food proudly sported their organization's packaging, which hopefully would let potential candidates know that they provide free food to all employees.

They were halfway through when their peripheral vision spotted a figure of light blue stroll up toward them. 

“Hi. May I have an application form?”

Smile, Villain remembered. They looked up with their practiced nonthreatening soft smile, hand already reaching out for a form when they froze. 

It was a hero. Very clearly. Cape and all. 

Before they could blurt out “Scatter” for their fellow convention-goers, the do-gooder held up a special convention badge and a power-suppressing cuff.

“It’s okay! I have permission! See?”

The badge said this hero had been vetted and had permissions to attend the convention due to their potential to join the dark side.

"That's… I didn't know they gave cards like that… Or they vetted… or that they let heroes in at all…" 

"Yeah," Hero gave a nervous laugh. "Had to go through a super long process…" 

Villain nodded weakly.

"And costly too." That seemed to be a rough point for Hero. 

All Villain could say was "Oof."

"Haha, yeahhh…"

Awkward silence.

"Well!" Hero began, in their Hero voice they used for civilians. “May I have an application, Mx Villain?”

“Um… are you really looking to join the dark side?”

“Yup! Didn't pay for this convention badge for nothing!”

“Why? Why the change of heart?” Villain was unsure but handed them one of the forms anyway.

“Oh, you know. The usual.” They filled it out on the table, and Villain couldn’t help but notice the way they dotted some of the i's with hearts, or that sometimes they ended their sentences with smiley faces, or — OKAY, THAT WAS ENOUGH PRYING!

Villain let the applicant, because that’s what they were right now, fill out their form in privacy while they sat down and finished their lunch. 

“HERO?” said someone and everyone’s head turned first at the speaker and then at where they were staring.

“IT’S OKAY, EVERYONE! I HAVE A BADGE, SEE?” But it didn’t matter because a million smoke bombs burst from all directions till only Hero, Villain and Other Villain (the speaker) were left.

Hero sighed.

“I cannot afford the convention fine for this,” they mumbled.

“HERO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?” Other Villain had taken out their weapons but were holding them loosely, like they were holding a piece of paper and not deadly apparatus. 

“Hi, Other Villain. I was applying for a henchman job. What about you?”

“YOU? A HENCHMAN? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?”

“I’m leaving the hero business. See?” They held out their badge that had failed to pacify the convention-goers, something they had been clearly threatened against.

“And you didn't tell me? I thought we were nemeses!”

“We are! Er, at least, we were? I honestly haven’t told anyone I’m leaving the biz, it’s not personal, believe me.”

“It just… it’s fine. Never mind, it’s fine. I don’t care.” They… sniffled?

“Don’t be like that, Other Villain!" Hero went up and put an arm around them. "I didn’t mean it! I just didn’t want anyone to find out till everything was set in stone, y’know?”

“Fine, fine, whatever. I don’t care.”

"Other Villain, I didn't mean it like that." But they weren't listening. They had started walking away, head down and wiping at their face.

"Sorry, Villain. Duty calls. Let me know if there's anything more you need for my application, yeah?"

Hero then ran after their ex-nemesis, ready to wrap them in their cape made of soft fluffy faux fur just for this purpose.

... Fin? 💼🧸

Notes:

Tried to be gender neutral but had to work with what Canva gave me :/

Yes, Hero's cape is soft and fluffy and made with actual pillow covers!

Yes, the ending is rushed on purpose. Not feeling most of my snippets so just gonna post them to clear them out. So the endings will be rushed, like this one. (sometimes you just gotta stop being a perfectionist so you can move to other things, y'know?)

I also realized while working on this that I've never actually been to a career fair :/ idk what happens there, I just guessed here, no research :/

-------------

Writing journey:

Turns out I like the vibe of and prompts of fluffy oblivious x smitten, but turning it into a two-way relationship is just not my thing. Not even a qpp. Just can't do relationships lol. My characters are gonna be oblivious x smitten or smitten x not smitten for life.

For this, I tried to go for an actual beginning, middle, end, but I had more fun with the convention card and now want to tangent from the fluffy prompt into more world of heroes and villains intricacies, like more documents and domestic interactions, and more into the reason why Hero has decided to give up heroics (idk why yet lol, I think I had a reason but forgot). It's just more interesting to me to write something plot-y or ridiculous or dramatic with a side of crushing, than trying to write 2 characters' journey to a romantic relationship. Just not me.

Shout out to @just-a-space-rabbit for the idea of Other Villain's reaction.

And to @world-of-fire-and-flight @tratieisdabest @eahravinqueen @just-a-space-rabbit because I was excited and proud of the card and showed it to them :D I showed it to more people coz I just love it so much!!!!! 🤩🥰💞💞💞

Everytime Batman and Red Hood see each other they end up shouting across the streets of Gotham emotional shit like JUST COME HOME SON and YOU'RE NOT IN CHARGE OF ME ANYMORE OLD MAN and it's just Not Subtle in the slightest

No one knows that Jason is an ex Robin so everyone comes to the very logical conclusion that the Red Hood is Batman's rebellious blood son that ran away from home to pursue a life of crime and they're not even fucking wrong
