Bringing this back from what I wrote on a reblog on one of my webs cause its so relevant:
[on Jango] sometimes i see takes that are like ‘he didn’t know’ he knew!!! he knew! he knew he was being used and he knew just how bad what he was doing was and he knew that he was betraying himself and he went to massive amounts of effort to rationalise that to himself (and maybe at times it even worked) but he did it anyway. and once he did 1 bad thing he kept doing worse things because he was beyond the point of return. to accept that he was wrong and acting on that would have meant confronting all of the other things he was lying to himself about and he was never gonna do that! because it would have been painful to do so. so instead he carries on down a path that ultimately could only ever end in his death, because he doesnt see any alternative.
so he keeps on being the bad guy cause he’s kind of like. thinking of himself as already dead. he survived everyone and he’s had a foot in the grave since. he isn’t a person anymore, he’s a tool of vengence. and he can not allow himself to consider that the people he lost wouldnt want that for him because to accept that is to accept that there is nothing he CAN do for them, they are dead and gone.
i think in his head he has this dichtomy where he’s like ‘i’m not the bad guy. anyone would do what i have done in my situation, i’m what the galaxy made me’ and he rationalises it all ‘the clones arent human’ ‘being soft will hurt Boba, i should make him afraid of people for his own good’ ‘the jedi have it coming’ While at the same time, there is a part of him deep down that’s like. ‘i have to be the bad guy cause i wasn’t once and look where that got me’ and that being there, is why he never ever would have tried to be better. he was smart enough to see through his rationalisations, but he was scared enough to make himself believe and in the end that’s what mattered
like the worst happened to him, multiple times, and he came out of it and was like ‘i will be feared’. the names he goes by in those years: ‘best bounty hunter in the galaxy’ ‘jedi killer’  and like. the clones, that’s personal. that’s his face. letting yourself be copied a few million times over is a great way to make yourself immortal right? except it didnt work. because the clones wear his body but they clearly arent him, so that becomes another thing he’s got to lie to himself about. like if they arent an extension of me, then they are nothing. they arent even people. He made himself in to something that the galaxy could never forget. which i think is really sad considering like. only 20 years later, people don’t really remember the clones or him, the clones are forgotten (which is obviously at heart an insult to the clones but it’s also like. the man you came from sacrificed himself and every single one of your brothers, and he didnt even win. it was for nothing.)
i think that jango tried really hard to make himself in to someone that everyone was afraid of, so that nobody would ever make him the victim again. and it was all for nothing, cause from the moment he gets back in to the galaxy from that ship? jango’s greatest enemy is himself. he doesnt need anyone else to victimise him. he has that covered. like i’m a firm believer that jango was never surviving, if not mace it would have been someone else soon after. he wasnt prepared to survive. he thought that he was already dead, that he’d survived his end. he thought that boba was better off without him. he didnt think he deserved to live and so he lived dangerously. i think that after he got out of slavery, he made a conscious effort to make himself in to a person that nobody would ever consider might be afraid, and i think a person doesn’t do that unless they are truly terrified

i’m gonna put my splat 3 thoughts under the cut because i have so many
overall:
i need to be able to play this game more right fucking now
i’m obsessed with everyone continuing to squidbag despite the visuals for it not being as satisfying
the plaza is SO fucking huge and i love it
i’m in love with the ghosts despite not being huge on them in the direct
the lobby, menus, everything is so much faster and it’s so subtle it feels so right
i really like the new visual effects for everything even if it’s gonna take me to adjust from 2- it all feels a lot more punchy and satisfying
the only thing i am not 100% comfortable on yet is holding A for lobby stuff because i am just not used to holding A while i do firing range stuff
i ended the fest at 690k clout so like i really won regardless of the results.  i didn’t try pro mode at all tho, i only did fest with friends today (#teamscissors)
i didn’t really use the new movement tech at all but that’s probably just because i’m so new to this.  i didn’t use charge hold in 2′s testfires either but it is now my default charger activity so like i think they’ll click with me in time
i think overall there aren’t any weapons that i think are truly like Bad or have shitty kits, i’m glad everything feels like it has options this time even if it gets walled by some of the more obnoxious combinations.  even things like ink mine at least feel more threatening than they did in 2
tri-color turf war splatfest thing is so much fun and so chaotic!!  i really like the way the map accommodates the other 2 spawns and i think it’s a fun balancing challenge, they did really good so far i think, each round felt so different
i hate that there’s only 1 tri-color map for the full rotation, and i will say i was kinda hurting for a third map in rotation at all times, but i can deal with 2 i guess.
weapons:
splatana is my beloved evil child!!  which is a total shock because tbh it was the thing i was least hype for.  its almost rhythmic-like vertical swipe is fun to learn and stringing together combos of directs to get a ton of quick kills is satisfying.  also its kit is INCREDIBLY well put together
stringer was wonky imo but i’ve seen a lot of people really like it.  i think i’m missing something about how it plays but maybe it’ll make more sense when the full game’s out and i’ve had some time to mess with it more
on the matter of the 2 above, they’re both a lot more inconsistent and not as immediate as the other mains, which is fine but it is a bit jarring, they remind me most of like.  the brellas from 2 in that they don’t quite click immediately with everyone in the same way a lot of the other weapons do.  high skill ceilings but also higher skill floors i guess
tacticooler is the devil and nzap has once again become my worst enemy.  we got spawncamped by a team of 4 nzaps within the first 2 hours.  this game never changes
while im on tacticooler, dapple dualies is still a thing!  it has beakon AND tacticooler!  im prepared to never get to see middle again.  they arent even in the demo and im scared
the other big cunt weapon i saw was basically every single person playing splat roller was out on a mission to jumpscare people and i hated it because its still as inconsistent hitbox-wise as it is in 2 so its just like a nightmare to encounter i think
also overall it feels like you build special and gain points INSANELY quickly in this game, i was often at 200p basically before i even left spawn plat and it was always a little shocking.  maybe it’s just me forgetting how this game works tho LMAO
honestly the weapon picks overall were really good, but i do wish they had picked one of every sub and special in the game, like i would’ve liked to see tenta missles and ink storm here but :/
OH i forgot to say: zipcaster is fucking weird and i don’t like it so far, crab tank is a bit slow for my taste and i think it’s a bit hit or miss, triple inkstrike is my best friend even if it’s only on weapons i dislike, reefslider feels a lot better to play than it looked in the direct, and inkjet is so weird now but i’m not arguing with it.  oh also booyah bomb is so visually satisfying now and ultra stamp is as fragile as ever, if not even more fragile than before, which kills me.
writing this at the very end -- i keep forgetting i wanted to talk about the other returning mains: hydra splatling is a force to be reckoned with now and it makes me so afraid of sloshing machine to follow in its tracks, .52 gal is just as much of a cunt as ever but at least it can’t really be that evil with such a passive kit, dynamo roller can be a total cunt -- as someone who played it and played against it being evil both ways, e-liter is so satisfying in this game and even if its kit leaves it vulnerable still -- it feels more prepared to handle things than its 2 counterpart, slosher feels different in a good way, tri slosher is still the absolute devil and i’m terrified of seeing what people do with it in the full game, dark tetra dualies are still my children and are pretty much entirely unchanged, and tenta brella feels beefier but it also feels exactly the same
maps:
overall i think these maps feel fucking HUGE and it’s strange because when you look at some of them, they’re rather straightforward and small, but they feel really large here and idk why (particularly speaking of mahi mahi resort and eeltail alley here)
museum d’alfonsino is so much fucking better and i love it now.  it losing its verticality and being made a lot better to navigate turned it from a clunkfest into something i actually enjoy exploring.  also the fact i can fully enter spawn on it is so funny to me like did they intend that...
mahi mahi resort is ...so different?  i don’t dislike it but, it doesn’t quite work the way i thought it would, or the way i want it to.  it reminds me of goby arena from 2 now, in the sense that it has like One way in and One way out and if those are blocked, fuck you i guess.  i’m interested to see how this one plays in ranked
i really love undertow spillway after fearing it might be a clunky mess from the previews.  mincemeat metalworks is also a lot of fun!
tbh overall all the new maps feel very different from splatoon 2 but they all feel really good to play on, there isn’t a single one of them that i dislike playing on atm
i’m mad we didn’t get to see the other 6 maps but i get why.  i wish we got to see makomart tho >:(
full game stuff / post-launch content wishes:
the fact it looks like there’s only gonna be two salmon run maps at launch is pathetic, like please at least bring back one from splat 2 and make it three like the game??  there also better be more later, and more frequently than splat 2′s too.  i hope the mystery rotations also return bc i love them in 2
the lack of new weapons at launch + the lack of variants actually makes this game feel a bit lesser than splat 2 at launch, but i think that’ll even as early as season 2 in december.  i hope we continue seeing a fuckton of new weapons for every class because on top of the two new classes having at most two weapons per class right now (which is way under the standard 5 per class that should be followed strictly tbh, give us more brushes and brellas) -- splat 2 had clash blaster, flingza roller, and goo tuber at launch + squeezer not long after, which this game lacks for now (but will get later)
the maps i really want to see back as of now are like: bluefin depot, moray towers, humpback pump track, snapper canal, and shellendorf institute.  the only map i don’t want to return is camp triggerfish but that’s because i fucking despise it

but the whole point of their post was, in a very gentle and sympathetic way, that if you cannot eat veggies you need to find a way to be able to.
I understand that there are many reasons why someone might struggle with eating vegetables (hi! autistic person here! I am not scoffing at those issues - I still literally can’t eat brussel sprouts without throwing up!)
But long term, the malnutrition of not getting vegetables in your diet WILL kill you, and in the meantime it will make your mental health, your energy levels, and your physical health significantly worse. I get that you have friends who aren’t dead yet - that’s because you guys are young. If your friends do not start working on this now, they are not going to have the long lives they deserve.
The post didn’t say “if you can’t stomach vegetables tough shit, go eat a plate of broccoli right now.” It said that is a problem that you genuinely need to work on, and find solutions that work for you. Try new ways of cooking and preparing them. Experiment with recipes you can hide them in. Look into foods designed for getting veggies into small kids, e.g those dinosaur chicken nuggets with vegetables mixed into the meat. I’m sorry, I know it’s not fair and I know it’s really easy to fall into defensiveness if it feels like someone is scoffing at your disability, but part of having a disability IS finding ways that work for you to love yourself and keep yourself as healthy as possible.
People with issues around vegetables, yourself and your friends included, deserve better than to have you throw up your fists and defend something that will hurt and kill you.
so i totally get why you feel this way (and also i do eat vegetables not that it matters) because i also care a lot about my health but the post and my reply are talking about a specific group of people (pw eating disorders/sensory issues) and a significant portion of them cannot atm and will not ever be able to (this is also completely fine) and i cannot stress enough that this is not something that is just hard its impossible for some of us(i personally have been whooping my eating disorders ass but lots of people cant)
and all of those things you mentioned are great but they arent the end all be all like yall like to act like sure physical health is to *me* and probably you too but to other people (especially ones who cant)? because as someone with an eating disorder (i cant talk for ppl with sensory issues but i imagine its a similar experience) sometimes even when you want to eat youd rather starve and when its like that all you can do is ride it out and hope it ends but it doesnt for some people
also i fight for what i think is right and sure i do deserve better than to have to but people like you still exist so we cant all get what we want (:

Bonten Mikey trapping you with a baby
It's been a week since you guys had fought and you have left. Mikey was losing himself once again. He wanted to kill you and kiss you. He been blowing up your phone with threats ever since you left him.
"Call me back this is your last warning y/n".
You stayed at a friend's house and you had noticed you forgot something at the house you and mikey had shared. You had forgot your laptop. You were hesitant to go get it knowing the chances of running into mikey. However, all your work files was on that laptop. You ran to your car and drove home. You had finally arrived and as you were putting the key in you looked behind your shoulder to make sure no one was there watching you. The door had opened and you went upstairs into your room to see your laptop laying on the bed
"Whew it's still here.. lemme just find the cord and we'll be outta here for goo-"
"Y/n."
You had froze. You felt cold. Your hands began to shake and your breath began to shorten. You knew exactly whose voice you heard. It was mikey.
His gun was pointing you. His eyes were so cold. He was furious and you could tell.
"You're not going anywhere y/n"
You began to tear up with the laptop still in your hand. His gun was still pointed directly at you.
"Mikey can you put the gun down at least? You're (sniffle)scaring me" you said while crying
He was silent. He didn't respond. He just stared at you while still keeping the gun pointed at you. He wanted answers. Why did you leave? You treated him so good. You should have known there would be no escape. The only escape there is, is death. You were his. Only his. The thought of you leaving him and moving on keeps him awake at night.
"MIKEY GOTDAMN" you yell. You were sick of the silence.
"I JUST WANT TO MOVE ON. I DONT WANNA DEAL WITH YOU ANYMORE BECAUSE YOU ARENT THE SAME MIKEY I USE TO KNO-"
Mikey interrupted you with a loud bang coming from the gun. He had shot the wall a inch next to you.
"Shut up. Shut up. SHUT UP Y/N"
He was starting to lose control of his emotions and you could tell by the way his eyes widened.
"I LOST EVERYONE WHO WERE CLOSE TO ME AND ILL BE DAMNED IF I LOOSE YOU. IF I HAVE KILL US BOTH I WILL."
You stood there crying. He wasnt the same. You wanted the old mikey back. His gun was still in his hand. You knew if you didn't do something now somebody was going to end up dead
You walked over to him. Cradled his face. You could see tears forming in his eyes.
You kissed him.
Your intention was to disarm him and bring him back to a calmer state because he was beginning to loose himself. You are aware you are his peace. As you was kissing him, he dropped his gun and begin to lift your shirt. He had pushed you against the wall still kissing you.
Your intention was to disarm him but as the kiss got deeper you realized you wanted this as bad as he did. Mikey finally got his hands on you. He finally got what he wanted, you.
Your shirt was off now exposing your breast. As he stared upon you, still fully clothed. You grabbed his dick and unzipped his pants now exposing his hard cock. You placed his dick in between your tits giving him a titfuck while he was still standing.
"I love your beautiful tits y/n I'm going to bust right in between them."
You spat on his dick while you massaged his dick in-between your tits going as fast as you could. He moaned your name beautifully. His breaths were getting heavy and you could tell he was about to cum
"Cmon mikey.. bust in between my tits baby. I'm all yours look at them mikey. Look at them."
As you continued to glide your tits up and down his dick he busted. You used your finger to lick the cum off your boobs. Yet, he was far from done. He went a whole week without seeing you. He wants to cherish this moment.
He took off his shirt and whispered in your ear
"you're having all my babies tonight. Gonna get you so full. I want you pregnant."
You didn't say anything. You were so intoxicated with the sex he was going to supply but little did you know Mikey was dead serious.
He began to kneel to your pussy licking it and eating it whole. He sucked your clit and He gave himself a hand job while he ate your pussy. Boy was so horny. You moaned as loud as you could.
"I love hearing you fucking scream"
You came right on his mouth. He slurped you so well. He missed your pussy.
"Did you fuck anyone else? Did you give anyone else my pussy y/n"
" No! No sir! I- I promise mikey"
"I'll kill you if you did"
You were scared of him. You stared into his eyes nervously. He then began to flip you over in doggy style position. Your pussy was beyond wet and he moaned while he massaged the tip in.
"Mikey...your dick feel so good"
He took his tip out. You were so tight and your pussy wasn't opening up for him he stuck his fingers in surprising you,
"You need to open up for me. I want your pussy to take me so you can cum.
He slid his dick back in and this time he managed to get it in all the way. You moaned like crazy and so did he. Your ass clapped onto him. He smacked it as hard as he could
"This your punishment for leaving. *smack* you're never leaving Me and I mean never. *smack* you're forever glued to me *smack* we belong together *smack*"
You screamed out his name crying from the pain and pleasure. He was getting faster and faster.
"OH Y/N ITS SO DAMN TIGHT. IM CUMMING INSIDE YOU"
You began to see white. Your vision blurred. You were fucked outta your mind. You began to feel mikey hot warm seed leaking into you. He kept his cock inside until he was done emptying himself. Thats a week worth of cum. Best believe your pussy was full.
He then pulled out kissing your neck.
"Mm-missed you so fucking much. I can tell you're tired y/n get some rest and I'll clean you up"
Boy was he a good liar. He was waiting til you fell asleep so he can sneak into the bathroom cabinet to grab your plan b.
You drifted off and that's exactly what he did. He had called sanzu while preparing his shower.
"She's home. Pick me up and Make sure you change the locks and lock her inside the house. She's not going anywhere. If she needs anything she will have to go through u first"
He hung up the phone and showered. His mission was complete. You were stuck with him forever. He knew deep down he got you pregnant and it made him happy.
He left the house leaving you in bed. You went searching for your plan b and noticed it wasn't there and as you were trying to walk out the house you noticed the doors were locked from Outside. He also had took your phone.
3 weeks later, you complained to sanzu about your morning sicknesses and asked if he could get you a test from the store. Turns out you're pregnant. As you looked at the test you began to form tears in your eyes because you realized what mikey was up to all along
Mission accomplished. He will never let you leave.

Tumblr media
❝ the morning after ❞
Tumblr media
ft : suna rintarō, sakusa kiyoomi, miya atsumu, kozume kenma, asahi azumane
warnings : sfw but suggestive - implied sex [night before]
Tumblr media
SUNA RINTARŌ
-> sleeps in with you
-> neither of you are in a rush to get up and you’re both tired
-> he’s lazy but he has stamina and that’s evident from last night
-> around 11:30AM he’ll grunt at you signalling he’s awake
-> “oi, you awake?”
-> his voice is heavy with sleep and his hands are already looking for your body
-> eventually you’ll stir awake and find your bodies been shifted so you’re back in his arms
-> suna is naturally warm so his body heat is transferring onto you keeping you satisfied in his arms
-> “morning rin” you’ll mumble tiredly back at him
-> the second he hears your voice he’s got a lazy grin painted across his face
-> “wanna get up in a minute?” he’ll ask
-> what he means is he wants breakfast
-> but he’ll be the one cooking so don’t worry
-> he’ll slip his large t-shirt over you to keep you covered and carry you on his back downstairs before sitting you on the kitchen counter
-> lucky you, you get a nice view of his bare back whist he cooks
-> he’ll still be yawning and stretching whist he’s by the cooker but then he hisses slightly
-> why?
-> because you left some angry marks on his back last night >:(
-> “i’ll take care of those after breakfast”
-> your reassurance is cute because he doesn’t actually need treatment but the fact you’re willing to take care of him is precious to him
-> “you gonna take care of me yeah?”
-> pretty side glancing at you in his shirt
-> he wants to tease you, he really does
-> but he just can’t stop himself from losing himself in the sight of you sat on the kitchen counter with one of his shirts covering you while you tiredly rub your eyes
-> he’s so whipped
-> too whipped in fact because he loses concentration of everything else
-> “rin, you’ve seen me with and without this shirt many times now focus”
-> “nah, i like the view”
-> “and i like my eggs preferably not burnt.”
-> he looks down at the pan, and you’re right
-> “worth it”
Tumblr media
SAKUSA KIYOOMI
-> he’s up early no matter what his late night activities were
-> and he would be up on his morning run right now but there’s something stopping him
-> you cutely curled up beside him in bed
-> you’re not even awake and yet you still have control over him
-> he just sighs and hopes you wake up soon so you can both shower together
-> although he loves making a mess with you, he loves cleaning it up better
-> he’s literally itching for a shower by the time you stir awake
-> see, he actually waits for you to wake up because he respects he wore you out last night
-> “good morning princex, shower?”
-> he’s already scooping you up from the bed before you even have a chance to respond
-> yourself and sakusa have a very spacious shower room
-> sakusa isn’t a fan of those tight little single showers so he made sure to purchase an apartment with nothing but the most luxurious bathroom layout and facilities
-> please, you even have one of those tile benches installed in the shower
-> and this is perfect because sakusa loves washing your hair for you
-> his fingers are perfect in your hair as he works in the products you use and throughly washes it after
-> he’s very gentle and after washing you down you do the same for him
-> pressing wet kisses along your shoulder blade and collarbone, he loves the feeling of your hands lathering soap across his body
-> he would argue that the activities the morning after were more enjoyable than the activities in the bedroom
-> but they’re both important to him in different ways
-> the soft mutters of “i love you” and “thank you” are exchanged between the two of you as he handled you gently
-> will carefully lead you out the bathroom and sit you down by the big vanity in your room before pulling out a hair dryer
-> the two of you take self care importantly and make sure to take care elf one another accordingly
-> mornings after with sakusa are slow but very intimate
Tumblr media
MIYA ATSUMU
-> an early riser but will sleep in the next morning
-> he honestly just wants you close to him for as long as possible
-> he’ll joke about going for a morning round but really he just wants you cuddled up close to him
-> slow kisses always occur when it comes to mornings with him
-> he doesn’t care that it’s mid winter and the two of you are still naked
-> he’ll get his morning kisses one way or another so as soon as he stirs awake he’s trapped you in his arms so you can’t leave him
-> presses kisses along your shoulders and back as he waits for you to wake up
-> honestly, he’s just in love with you all over again
-> who allowed his s/o to be so perfect even first thing in the morning :(
-> “morning tsumu” makes him perk up everytime
-> “mornin’ doll”
-> doesn’t care how awake you are, the fact you’re speaking tells him you’re awake enough for a slow make out sesh before getting up
-> these types of kisses arent like the ones from the night before
-> they’re equally as special but they’re different
-> these kisses are slow and meaningful, he’s making sure you’re aware of how gentle he really can treat you
-> they’re a reminder that he does think you’re special and he does care and want to keep you safe
-> his love language is physical affection and he tells you he loves you through the long and slow kisses he forces you to crave more of
-> after a while you will tell him it’s time to get up though
-> he’ll whine but oblige and get up and out of the covers revealing a very naked atsumu
-> “like what ya see? we can always go for another round if ya-”
-> “get in the shower and i’ll see you downstairs for breakfast in 10.”
-> “yes angel :,)”
Tumblr media
KOZUME KENMA
-> waking up at the same time as kenma is a blessing and a curse
-> he loves that he gets to wake up and see you at the same time you see him
-> but he’s also not prepared to be met with his naked s/o first thing in the morning
-> he won’t even look you in the eye
-> “kenma, are you okay?”
-> “you’re um naked”
-> “yes?”
-> “aren’t you cold or something maybe you should put something on”
-> “but just a few hours ago you were eating m-”
-> “JUST PUT SOMETHING ON!”
-> he’s so embarrassed but it’s only because you both know the effect you have over him
-> you just laugh and call him a baby
-> but maybe you should’ve just stayed naked because he’s even more flustered at the sight of you in his sweater
-> your naked body is under that :0
-> he wears that sweater when he streams too :0
-> scandalous >:)
-> “take it off.”
-> “but you just said t-”
-> “kitten please, you’re doing it on purpose”
-> he’s so flustered and it’s all your fault
-> he’s so worried he looks weird in front of you but honestly it’s cute seeing him so vulnerable
-> you just pull him back down under the covers to sleep for a little longer
-> and who is he is deny when you’re clinging to him in his sweater like that
-> looking down at your precious face too
-> how is he ever meant to say no to you
-> and honestly sleep sounds so desirable right now
-> maybe when he wakes up he’d be more prepared for the sight of you in his clothes
-> he’s just so in love with you and he loves and hates that you have this effect over him
-> but he’s glad that it’s you that has this effect on you and only you
Tumblr media
ASAHI AZUMANE
-> you are not getting up early in the morning
-> actually, you’re not getting up at all because you ache
-> and it’s a pain because you wake up before him
-> so you’re just kinda sat there waiting for him to wake up
-> when he does wake up he’s met with a small smirk painted across your face
-> “morning?”
-> “i cant move”
-> “please don’t say it like that!”
-> he is so apologetic
-> he didn’t mean to hurt you and besides you were technically asking for it :(
-> but he will pamper you because he feels horrible
-> even if you tell him it’s okay he won’t listen and he will treat you the way he feels you should be
-> he’ll keep you in bed and go make you breakfast
-> any mail is brought up for you to read in bed
-> any water or coffee you require he will bring
-> “baby i’m not sick”
-> “but you can’t move and it’s my fault”
-> please dhsbdjebd
-> he will be like this for most of the day until you insist you feel better
-> constant apologises are given to you throughout the day despite the fact you promise you’re okay
-> he feels so bad oh :(
-> reassure him enough and he’ll start to believe you though
-> also reassure him it’s not his fault because he will be mentally taking note for the next time you guys ya know >:)
-> “why do you ask for it if you know it hurts the next morning”
-> and he has a point
-> “because it’s worth it”
-> that’s always your argument
-> and besides if that’s why you want from him at the time he won’t deprive you
-> you just have to promise to let him take care of you the next morning that’s all

Juvia’s unfortunate discovery
Chapter 2: Descent into Madness
Rated M (Implied Intercourse but not descript)
To prevent any possible confusion; I don’t think I ever mentioned that in a lot of my stories Gray has a hard time saying “I love you”. This is because he believes that everyone he tells it to will inevitably end up dead. For good reason, since all of the people he has lost throughout his life are those he’s expressed his love to or for at some point. So that is what “his curse” is referring to.
So sorry for the delay!
I love you
I never want anyone other than you
I will never let you go
He said it! He’d finally put his fears behind him and told her how he felt. Gray looks down at the women in his arms as she stares up at him. The disbelief evident on her face as she thinks; Surely I misheard him. “What was that first thing you’d said babe?” Think I may have misheard you” she has to ask just to make sure.
Taking her face in his hands, he moves in so close their noses are touching before repeating himself. “I.LOVE.you __________, I LOVE YOU! Only you” the pride in his accomplishment is evident in his voice. Her eyes filled with tears as she tries to get over the initial shock of his statement. “C’mon let’s do this in a more appropriate place” he stands up carrying her into his bedroom. Dropping her onto the bed before climbing over her. “Now where were we?” he asks with his signature smirk in place.
“I love you Gray”
The words don’t have him reeling with anxiety, her eyes arent wide with fright, and she isn’t covering her mouth in horror. This time around is completely different than the first time it had accidentally been said. “say it again” he whispers against her lips. “I love you GRAAAY” she exclaims with emphasis put on his name as he slides into her without warning.
“Now that’s what I like to hear”
Waking up that next morning; A mutual decision is made that today is just for them, so they shut the world out. Neither one of them aware of the storm that was brewing behind the tightly drawn curtains.
I love you _________
She can’t stop hearing it.
I never want anyone other than you
Please no....
I’ll never leave you
Make it stop!
Juvia’s hands fist her hair, yanking on the blue strands. “Gray-Sama, you didn’t mean it...I know you didn’t...you just told her what she wanted to hear that’s all! Juvia forgives you” she whispers holding the doll close, caressing it softly. “Juvia knows that your just sewing your wild oats like old people say...you’ll throw her away, just like you did with all the other nameless sluts you took home throughout the years”.
So many females she’d seen leaving his house at ungodly hours of the night or early morning. Not one over the last year though...Juvia Was excited she thought he was finally ready to settle down.
“He is, just not with you” the voice is audible it’s not just in her head, it can’t be!
“SHUT UPPP! Gray -Sama belongs to Juvia!” the manic woman let’s out a miserable wail. The images she sees in her mind have also been infected by that bitch now! Plagued by images of; Gray & ___________
Laying in bed together
Fighting together
Laughing together
Getting married
Preparing to have a child
Bile rises in the back of her throat “God please no...anything but that....Even when he does return to me what if.....” she shudders, rapidly beginning to play out the nightmareish scenario in her minds eye.
~Dreamscape Begins~
Envisioning a happy home with her beloved.
The two of them; Snuggled up, together on the couch, chatting happily. Suddenly a knock on the door interrupts their conversation. “I’ll get it droplet, be right back” Gray says, kissing her forehead before leaving the room.
5 minutes pass... 10 minutes pass...and he still hasn’t returned to the couch. What could possibly be taking him so long?
Peering out of a peep hole on the front door she strained her ears to listen.
“-it’s yours”
“Look, Im with Juvia now; we’re happy just leave me alone”
“I just thought you should know, at least to give you the option of being with us…as a family”
“What is that supposed to mean?”
“Just forget I even came down here, bye”
“Wait! That’s my kid too, you can’t do this-“
A child....a permanent reminder of…
“I love you _______”
“Juvia won’t let that happen” the expression on her face displays all the lunacy she hid within.
“I’ll make it stop and then everything will go back to how it was, just us two”.
~Across Town~
“Mmmm baby, I love it when you wake me up like this” Gray groans out, voice still laden with sleep. You can see that she moving as she continues sucking him for all he’s worth. “Want to see you though” he mumbles, rubbing the sleep from his eyes while lifting the sheet up. The twisted smile he sees causes him to yelp and immediately jump backwards, “JUVIA?! WHAT THE-!”
She giggles, “Juvia loves the way you taste Gray-Sama”.
“How’d you get in here?! Where is ________?” He begins to panic upon seeing the empty space beside him. “Don’t worry about that now let Juvia finish pleasuring her beloved”.
“NO!” Gray shouts, anxiety reaching a breaking point as he hops out of bed. “Get out Juvia! Get the F-“ he stops short at the feel of something wet and warm beneath his feet. Looking down he can’t help but scream, “BABE?!”.
Her eyes stare back; Blank, unseeing, her skin is cold to the touch. “No...no..not again! I shouldn’t have said it! I knew better goddamnit!”. The curse, his curse, it’s taken yet another person he said those words to. His parents, Ur, now __________ too. Something snapped inside of his head as he cried out in agony.
~Dreamscape end~
Sitting up drenched in sweat the raven haired man looked wildly around the room. His hand began groping the mattress beside him, she wasn’t there. “__________? BABE WHERE ARE YOU?!” he called out, voice loud and terrified. Frantic footsteps came rushing down the hall immediately, she runs into the room hurrying to his side. “What is it?? what’s wrong?!” she touches his face worriedly “Gray?”.
He yanks her onto the bed squeezing her tightly “Thank God” he whispers. “I thought, oh God baby I-“ his body begins to tremble and she hugs him. “I’m here, I’m OK, it wasn’t real” she repeated this like a mantra until he relaxed against the pillows, pulling her with him. “Please say it” he asks. “I love you Gray, I’m never going to leave you” her voice is soft but the conviction is firm. “This is real, that wasn’t” he repeats while caressing every inch of her body, gently kissing her lips. “Make love to me Gray” her voice startles him.
“W-What?”
“Make love to me, focus on me and nothing else, then you’ll know it’s real”.
It was easy for them to get lost in each other and shut the world out once more. They’d had no idea what an ugly day it’d been, how a slight drizzle became a deluge, a down pour. Pleasured cries and whispers of sweet nothings, drowned out by the howling wind. The lovers lay together; Stated and spent staring into each others eyes as they hold one another close.
“I love you, I never want to be with anyone but you, forever”
Juvia won’t let that happen.
Juvia will make her pay.

Picking strawberries w the Shelby brothers would include...
Tumblr media
So I wanted to actually write the stuff that I always do, but I couldn't find a good plot to get it going, so I decided, why not write a bunch of headcanons instead?
taglist: @captivatedbycillianmurphy @babylooneytoonz @thomasinada @shelby-love
Tommy Shelby
✧ He’d hold a basket for you and follow you around tiredly because you keep spotting strawberries
✧ He loves you anyway and he 100% thinks it’s cute.
✧ When he notices you hum a tune as you walk, he just falls in love with you all over again
✧ “Tommy, look, here’s another one!”
✧ “(Y/n), Pol’s not going to need this many strawberries.”
✧ He also steals them from the basket when you’re not looking
✧ When you catch him though, he feeds you one quickly so you can’t scold him
✧You obligingly eat it but you stop him after a while because it’s unhygienic
✧After a while you both are kinda tired and lay in the grass
✧ His cap is placed beside him because he knows you like to play with his hair.
✧ The summer brings a nice warm breeze over Birmingham so it’s not the coldest.
✧ It’s still cold so you end up wearing his jacket around your shoulder.
✧ And you’re both just there, it’s peaceful.
✧ Eventually you both doze off and it isn’t until Polly comes to find you and scolds you both for staying out so long with no hear on your whereabouts.
✧ (She goes soft when she sees the amount of strawberries you both pick, gives an excuse of dozing off)
John Shelby
✧ John thinks you’re absolutely gorgeous in the dress that he bought you
✧ It was expensive but oh so worth it
✧ Because it’s John and he loves his kids, he brings them along too
✧ It’s your first time meeting them so you’re nervous
✧ You also prepare a small picnic, minus some sweet things because you know how children can get.
✧ You didn’t have very good experience with kids therefore somewhat disliked them
✧ “What if they don’t like me John?”
✧ “Don’t worry, they’ll learn.”
✧ But you inwardly asked yourself what if you didn’t like them.
✧ It goes on smoothly when you find that they aren’t a very disobedient bunch
✧Of course as kids, they can be, but you could handle it
✧You easily distracted them from breaking out into fights with strawberries and exaggerating your praises when they picked them
✧“That is indeed a marvellous strawberry, I don’t know how you did it.”
✧“Of course your strawberry is marvellous too!”
✧“It is red yes, well arent you clever?”
✧ John just looks from afar and grins like a fool in love because he doesn’t know how he managed to get someone like you
✧You feed him one for the fun of it out of the blue
✧“It’s sweet isn’t it?”
✧“Not as sweet as you.”
✧When you settle down to eat it takes both your efforts to make sure the children don’t ruin the whole mood by erupting into a food fight.
✧It fails because when you both give up and play along, it’s actually fun.
✧So everyone is slathered in food and strawberries and laughter.
✧When the kids get tired, it’s a quiet drive home, you fall asleep in the car
✧ John drops his kids off with Polly and you wake up shortly after.
✧ And yeah he jumps on you once you both reach home because hey it’s John.
Arthur Shelby
✧ He kinda finds the activity boring but because you invited him he couldn’t say no
✧Eventually he finds that it’s all worth it because he’s spending time with you
✧He truly thinks you’re an angel at this point when you frolic around and pluck berries with the sun shining brightly.
✧“Arthur, you’re staring.”
✧“Well why not?”
✧You kinda know he wasn’t the most enthusiastic about this activity, so you bring your radio along for his entertainment.
✧And he’s okay with it, you’re kinda worried that he’s bored but he’s honestly just fine watching you.
✧ and you’re just glad that he’s there.
✧You both kinda just small talk or walk around, whatever suits.
✧Arthur doesn’t want to ruin how peaceful it is but he doesn’t really know how to act either so he kinda just follows what you do
✧“You alright Arthur?”
✧“With you? Always.”
✧He’s a pretty smooth talker when he wants to
✧Out of impulsiveness and boredom you decide to dance to a song on the radio with him
✧ He's so awkward because Arthur Shelby? dancing? in the field like some dream? it made him laugh.
(tbh it made me laugh too bc can u imagine a slaughtering muderous gang member giggle and dance in a meadow? its so funny)
✧ Of course you lead and he just smiles, when he gets the hang of it he leads too.
✧Upon reaching your house you kiss and thank him for his company at the doorstep.
✧But yeah he can’t really take it anymore so the kiss escalates into something more (ykyk)
✧(or maybe not because he doesn't really wanna ruin the moment)
Finn Shelby
since I was making one for everyone, why not baby boy Finn?
✧Finn is somewhat excited to try a new activity, but he doesn’t show it.
✧He doesn’t laugh at you or tries to act cool about it because he doesn’t want to accidentally hurt you for suggesting such a mundane activity
✧He picks strawberries with you unlike his brothers that just watch you from afar or help off and on, he wants in on the action too
✧of course, like his brothers, he eats them too.
✧“(y/n) you’ve missed one.”
✧"So i have."
✧“I bet i can pick these red things faster than you.”
✧So yes it turns into a competition on who can pick the most strawberries.
✧You look at your basket off and on to make sure he doesn’t steal from your pile
✧The reward is that the winner gets to control what the loser does for a whole hour.
✧When Finn wins by a berry, you hoped that he wouldn’t tell you to do anything weird.
✧He only chooses to use his hour when you both arrive back at the betting house/ The Garrison (whichever suits, this is alt.)
✧When you both reach home, Polly insists you take some home because during the competition you guys just picked so many.
(cont. i didn't want to add this in because it has nothing to do with strawberry picking lol but eh)
✧Everyone is so confused at your movements and how you were talking because Finn just wants to fully utilise his authority
✧Or abuse it
✧He tells you to speak like Tommy in front of Tommy, and it just gives you dread but he says it’ll be fine.
✧“Tommy *clears throat*.”
✧“(y/n)?”
✧“I’ve come to see *a pause* about those reports Tommy yeah?.”
✧He doesn’t know how to feel about this joke because he doesn’t know if it was to mock him or if it's just for fun.
✧You’re not allowed to tell people about your circumstances during the hour too
✧Whichever it is, you were somewhat humiliated by the end of the hour.

being honest i dont get jm using a award to say he misses tannie... we don’t know 90% of their lives but they are very close to the point of still sleeping together sometimes. and going deep if they were really a couple jm woudnt miss taes dog right? and even as friends he could visit it. unless its because of their schedule right... this kind of comment sometimes confuses me and haters will use it as “they arent close” lol. i just wanted to know your pov.
Judging by Admin 2's reaction, as well as some others in our asks, I have a feeling I was the only one with a more realistic expectation, or lack of expectations, as I waited for the BTS profiles to be posted. Based on last year's, I knew expecting something grand out of Tae, and especially Jimin, would just be me setting myself up for failure, which is what I think happened here.
But, let's discuss it.
I spent a solid couple of hours making an excel table last night that contains everything every member said about every member (sourcing 3 translators for maximum insight) to see if really what Jimin chose for Tae is so "bad" that suddenly people are sending us asks like this one, and another one I'll add later down the line. And the conclusion I've come to is that...what he gave to Tae, as well as Hobi and Seokjin, as awards are the only ones that have any actual emotional/personal connection to them.
Tumblr media
With Namjoon and JK Jimin basically states the obvious--Namjoon is tall and JK has gained muscle mass, meaning nothing new or with a proper emotional connection was stated; to Yoongi he made the same request many other members have made, so a work connection, nothing inherently personal.
Now, compared to that--Seokjin teases him/them, which isn't new info, so Jimin asked him to stop or do it less, a valid request which I'm sure he also voiced to Seokjin outside of this FESTA profile and also shows a degree of personal connection; Hobi gets requested to not walk away after asking Jimin a question, which again shows a personal connection and that it's a reoccurring thing; and lastly Tae with Tannie.
Something I've noticed is that some ARMY, who are used to our western celebrities and draw conclusions about idols based on those parameters, forget that BTS are busy, like whatever you consider busy, take that and multiply it by ten. During his vlive with Hobi and Yoongi back in April, Tae said that they are much busier and their lives far more hectic than any of us realize. Taking that into account, and the fact that one of the members (I think it might have been Seokjin) mentioned they work at least ten hours a day for 360 days a year with practice, MV and CF filming, photoshoots, interviews, recording and working on music, meetings, and many other things we have no idea about, do you really think Yeontan lives with Tae full time? A dog needs to get walked and fed but if Tae is out of the house every day for at least ten hours, what would happen to Tannie? He'd just sit around at home alone all day which just isn't fair, so I'm sure Tannie lives with Tae's parents much the same way Micky lives with Hobi's parents and/or his sister, JKs dog lives with his family, Holly lives with Yoongi’s brother, Moni with Namjoon's, and years ago Seokjin had to give his sugar gliders to his parents because he was too busy to take care of them.
Based on that of that, I'm not sure how often Tae get's to see Tannie. Probably not all that often, to be honest. So, if Tannie's owner doesn't get to see him often, I'd assume Jimin gets to see him even less (if we work on the assumption that Tannie lives with Tae's parents and thus Tae could only really see him when visiting them or when they visit him, that means Jimin wouldn't be able to see Tannie just like that either, since that would be like intruding on family time, right?). And we know Jimin loves Tannie, so him using that award to say he misses him and is asking about him shows care and an emotional connection to Tannie. Do I think Jimin also asks Tae privately about Tannie? Absolutely. And still, while Jimin didn't give Tae the, I don't know, "hot body Award" like Yoongi did with Namjoon or the "person I love most in the world award" (which we should know by now would never happen, and if you expected something of that intensity level, than I'm sorry but you've set yourself up for disappointment from the start), he still drew a personal and emotional connection between himself and Tae, as well as the pet Tae loves dearly.
More below the cut:
Jimin could’ve asked about the other pets of the members, but he didn’t, he only ever really talked about Tannie, and here he does it again, so doesn’t that show that he has a bond with him, a closer one than the other members since they don’t/didn’t ask about him (except for Hobi that one time on weverse)?
Speaking of Hobi, am I the only one who finds it interesting and cute that he only drew little hearts for Jimin and Tae when writing down their awards?
Also, we have to remember that these profiles are for us, fan content (remember when Jimin asked Tae last year to post more pictures of Tannie on weverse because ARMY miss seeing him, so what if this is drawing a connection/parallel to that?), and not meant as the members “confessing” something to each other that they otherwise wouldn’t or don’t have the chance to do so. It’s not meant to be all that serious and instead just be fun and nice for us to read, show us a bit of their dynamic and that’s it, no world shattering revelations to be found, from any of them. Or do you really think Yoongi doesn’t like Jimin just because he told Jimin he’s trying too hard to be funny? It’s just part of their dynamic. Or that none of the members have anything else to say to JK besides commenting on his body/appearance? As for vmin, I’d like to remind us of this moment from their Friends subunit interview for FESTA 2020:
Tumblr media
Whatever Jimin and Tae want to say to each other, they don’t need FESTA to do it, or us to be there as witnesses. Like Tae didn’t already say enough by telling us that 95z is love. Or Jimin by writing Friends.
From anon: because of you I came back da Namjin. I am a senior army and 2 years ago I left Namjin because I thought they broke up. You made me three Vmin but after what JK wrote about Jimin and after Jm himself about his chances I think that vmin are not together or Jimin withdrew. I think Jk would not dare to write about Jm that he has cute fingers etc if vmin were a relationship. it goes too far and confuses Jk too much. I don't want to say that J / k*ok is real because it certainly isn't !!!!
Now this is where I just sit and sigh heavily because it’s exactly what I expected and I will admit it irks me to no end. Let’s establish a little timeline:
Based on the FESTA Mission! BTS 4 Cuts Teaser that was posted earlier we can deduce that at least part of FESTA was already being prepared back in the first half of March, since on March 12th Jimin, Namjoon and Seokjin had their salad making vlive. Let’s suppose that everything FESTA related was prepared and written out by the members around that time as well. Sometime later BTS filmed YOU QUIZ followed by LET’S BTS and BTSxGame Caterers and everything else we’ve seen after that.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Or going a little further back to sometime in November 2020 while they were preparing for MMA 2020 and the Black Swan performance. We got the practice video today and if you pay attention to Jimin and Tae even there you notice that while Tae is waiting for his turn in the choreography, Jimin runs past him after his part is done (0:55) and they pat each other or do a “high five” or something along those lines as a way to cheer each other on. A very “we’re broken up” or “I will break up with him soon” thing to do, right? Or in min-January when Tae posted seven pictures out of which three were of just Jimin after an ARMY on weverse asked if anyone had any nice pictures they could use as wallpaper for their phone. Between all that I’m having a hard time honestly finding any moment where either of them seemed sad or “cold” toward the other the way you would be and feel if the person you love pulled away from you or broke up with you.
Tumblr media
If you are still unconvinced and still think that is what Jimin tried to communicate to us, would Tae really have gone on national TV and said he likes Jimin the most? And would Jimin have agreed that he likes him a lot as well? Or looking at the making video of their Kloud Beer CF that was posted today as well, would Jimin really be looking and interacting with Tae this way if he decided to end things between them?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also, going back a little, your mention of Jimin reflecting upon opportunities/chances now that it’s a new year. My question is based on what you made the judgment that this comment has to be about vmin and not about something entirely different in Jimin’s life, or maybe something connected to BTS as a whole? Just because of him asking Tae about Tannie? Jimin, as well as Tae and the other members, have entire lives outside of just their bonds with each other, entire careers, passion projects, families, friend groups, and that little bit of time they have to themselves, so immediately thinking Jimin’s comment must be related to his relationship/bond with Tae basically makes it seem like Jimin’s life is a romcom or a TV show in which the only thing that matters is if the main character will date or remain in a relationship with character B or not, but life isn’t like that.
Personally it reminded me of something Tae said during their Bring the Soul documentary about how BTS had the opportunities to go higher faster but they decided against them. Perhaps Jimin’s comment was about something like this as well, especially since we know Jimin is a very private person and very selective of the personal things he shares with us and the ones he doesn’t.
For the FESTA profile JK decided to give Jimin the “Cute Award” with the explanation that his “Face, height, fingers are cute” which, honestly, is just saying something that a) is true and b) has been said in millions of ways by every member across the last couple of years. I don’t see what the issue here is? During one of the episodes of BTSxGame Caterers Seokjin said that Jimin is very cute and that he has a small, beautiful face, so really he even added the word beautiful in there, which JK did not, so what really is the issue here? The fact its JK, right, that’s where the issue lies, to which I ask why? On this blog we’ve already established that there is (in our opinion and based on everything we’ve seen and heard) no romantic connection between JK and Jimin (nor Tae), not now and not in the past either, so why is him saying that Jimin is cute (which he is known for even by people outside of ARMY, or like James Cordon calling him his cute baby mochi) is an issue but Seokjin or any other member is not? Either we use the same measurements for everyone or we don’t compare or make such assumptions about any of them.
What I find curious, because this does make it seem like you, anon, are someone influenced by J*k*ok shippers and their opinions, see an issue in JK saying that about Jimin, and how that’s “proof” that Jimin and Tae can’t possibly be together, and yet you took no issue to Namjoon basically saying he wants to give Tae an award because he is so handsome he is above every list or Yoongi comparing him to Michelangelo's David, both of these being much more superlative and grand complements/awards than JK saying Jimin’s face, height and fingers are cute.
It’s funny how things that Jimin and Tae have said about and to each other that make their bond very clear (I want to live with my lovely Taehyungie forever or here is my love for you while handing Tae a bunch of red heart balloons or 95z is love, a statement I’m sure he wouldn’t post if that sentiment weren’t mutual) are all questioned or ignored, but something as basically trivial as a comment about Jimin being cute is turned into a major issue. The mental gymnastics is fascinating.
Lastly, going back to the first anon and their mention of how haters will use Jimin’s Award for Tae as “proof” that they “aren’t close anymore”--why do we care? Like Namjoon said in the Mic Drop lyrics Haters gon’ hate. They will say a lot of things about a lot of things and even make things up if they feel like it to push their agenda, so really, regardless of what Jimin would’ve said, or not said, they would’ve found a way to twist it and make it fit their narrative. Besides, what haters think has no actual effect or bearing on what Tae and Jimin have with each other, and neither does what other shippers claim. Haters and other shippers don’t control the narrative, BTS do, and everything Jimin and Tae have shown us in 2021, as well as the last eight years, shows me that their bond has only ever grown stronger and closer and more beautiful and awe inspiring, even while haters claimed they stopped being friends years ago, so why should you or I care what they think?
Like Yoongi once said in one of his vlives about how haters can write all they want, he won’t read it while they will get sued.

aft hawkmoth is defeated, paris banned any outside superheroes from entering bc lb and cn said that they had asked the superheroes (e.g justice league, up to u) for help, but all they got was a message saying that they should not be faking this for attention. soon, said superheroes try to come into paris to help aft hawkmoth was alr defeated and theyre arent allowed in. lb and cn show up and the superheroes insult then abit bc they arent allowed in so paris and lb and cn go off at them
Here you go!! Hope you like the story! Let me know what you think!
Ladybug and Chat Noir were very worried when they first became heroes. They had no experience as heroes, nor any idea how to track down Hawkmoth. They knew that people could request aid from the Justice League for their cities if something was wrong. Of course, it was mainly used to ask for just humanitarian help, typically after some kind of natural disaster. But Ladybug and Chat Noir didn’t know what else to do. So, they sent in a request, asking for their help. They never received a response to their initial request. As time went by, they kept trying to reach out to the Justice League. After their fifth message, they received a response, but not the one they were hoping for. When the two young heroes saw a message from the Justice League help line, they felt excited. They thought they would finally get some help and maybe this nightmare would be over soon. But the message didn’t say that help was on the way. Instead all it said was:
This help line is for real emergencies only. You two should not be clogging the line with these ridiculous jokes. This is not the kind of thing to fake to get attention. Please do not contact this help line again. -Justice League Assistance Requests
Ladybug and Chat Noir were disheartened. They had truly hoped that these heroes would help them. How could they think this is fake? It is true that there is no apparent damage, but Ladybug had explained that was only due to her powers.
 ------------------
Ladybug and Chat Noir did not listen to the message and kept sending messages that became more and more desperate as the akumas grew stronger. Eventually though, it became too dangerous to keep asking for help. Ladybug and Chat Noir both realized that if the Justice League came to Paris, they ran the risk of the League becoming akumatized. If any member of the League became akumatized, it would be disastrous. Ladybug realized that they couldn’t risk the heroes coming to Paris anymore. So, her and Chat Noir went to the mayor. After that day, foreign superheroes were banned from entering Paris.
  ------------------
After three years of fighting, Ladybug and Chat Noir had finally defeated Hawkmoth. His capture was international news. Paris was finally telling the full story. The mayor finally told the world all about Hawkmoth and his reign of terror. The world was shocked that they hadn’t known what was happening. None were more shocked than Bruce Wayne. He remembered those messages from all those years ago in Paris. Those kids had been telling the truth? He could hardly believe it; their messages had seemed so ridiculous that they had to be fake. Magic jewelry that is powered by tiny gods did not sound real at all. Batman knew it was time for damage control. He called a meeting with the other founding members of the league and went straight to the Watchtower.
  ------------------
When Bruce arrived, he saw that most of the other members were already present. Several of them were confused and were asking Bruce why they were there. Bruce just played the news clip from this morning. Several of the other leaguers were shocked. Green Lantern spoke up, “These kids again? They were actually telling the truth?” Bruce turned to him, “Yes it appears they were. This is going to look bad on us, that we didn’t help. Whether we believed them or not, it is important that we go to Paris now. Offer our apologies for not helping sooner and help them re-build. I imagine there is a lot left damaged after fighting such a powerful foe.” Bruce had clearly already forgotten that in the original messages Ladybug had said she could fix all the damage. Shows how much he actually listened to the original requests. With that settled, the different members prepared to leave for Paris. They tried using the zeta tube they had set up, but they got an error message saying the tube in Paris was too damaged. The leaguers assumed it had been damaged in one of the fights and decided to zeta to a different location in France and then fly the rest of the way to Paris. They had no idea about the cold greeting they would soon receive.
  ------------------
Marinette had been at home for the day when the news was announced. She may not have revealed her identity to the public, but she did tell her parents finally about her being Ladybug. They were so proud, and had agreed that Marinette deserved the day off from school, considering she had just saved Paris. Marinette was just planning on spending a relaxing day at home when she got a message. She had set up a website with a way to message Ladybug back when Hawkmoth was still active. This was so citizens could inform her of akuma attacks quicker. She wasn’t expecting to get a message on it today, but around noon, there was a new message. This message came from the mayor’s office. It read:
Ladybug, we have spotted different members of the Justice League approaching the city. Since the ban on superheroes is still in effect, we will turn them away. However, we would feel more comfortable doing so if you and Chat Noir were there to help. Please hurry to the Western border of the city.
Marinette was shocked. The Justice League was coming now? Why the sudden interest in Paris? Regardless, she quickly pulled out her phone and called Adrien, who was also staying home for obvious reasons. They had revealed their identities to each other after the final battle, and were ecstatic to find out they had been that close to each other all along. The rest of the miraculous team also revealed their identities, and everyone was shocked to see that Ladybug and Chat Noir were Marinette and Adrien. Adrien picked up quickly, “Marinette? What’s up?” “Can you talk privately right now?” Adrien knew that meant that Marinette needed to talk about superhero stuff, so he made sure the door to his room was locked and then said, “Yeah, I’m good. What’s up?” Marinette replied quickly, “We have guests coming to the city. Apparently, someone spotted members of the Justice League heading this way and are worried they will try to enter the city. The mayor asked both of us to be there to help when they turn them all away. He asked us to meet at the western border of the city as quick as we can.” Adrien was shocked. Why was the League coming? They hadn’t cared before. “I’ll be right there milady. Let the rest of the team know, we may need the back up. See you soon.” With that, he hung up and transformed. Marinette quickly sent a message in the group chat for they had set up for the members of the miraculous team, telling everyone to meet at the western border quickly. She then transformed as well and went to join Chat. He quickly rushed to the border of the city where he saw the police force, the mayor, and Ladybug all waiting. He joined them and watched for the Justice League. They didn’t have to wait long before the Justice League members appeared on the horizon. Officer Raincomprix used a megaphone and ordered all of the heroes to land before they entered the city. Chat Noir got ready to face the Justice League and tell them to get lost.
  ------------------
When the leaguers arrived, they were expecting the citizens of Paris to be glad to see them. But instead, they were glared at and ordered to stop at the border of the city.  The leaguers were confused, this is a very different reception than they were expecting. They stopped and Batman stepped forward, “We heard about your defeat of Hawkmoth and have come to offer our help in rebuilding your city.” Then a younger girl in a ladybug themed outfit and a boy in a cat outfit stepped forward. Batman recognized them as the kids from the videos, what were their names again? Oh right, Ladybug and Chat Noir. Behind them he saw other kids in similar outfits, however he didn’t remember seeing any of them in the videos sent to the league. He was expecting them to thank him and the other heroes for the help, even if they were still upset from the earlier rejection. But that was not what happened at all. The two kids were very calm, but he could tell they were still angry. The girl called Ladybug took the lead, “Your help is not wanted, or even needed. The city is perfectly fine. Regardless, you are not welcome in Paris. None of you are. Foreign superheroes are banned in Paris. Only the miraculous team is allowed to reside in this city.” The Justice League were shocked, to say the least. Batman tried to argue with them, “The city can’t possibly already be prepared. Fights like what was discussed on the news cause massive amounts of damage. They couldn’t possibly be fixed overnight. And how could you ban superheroes?” Chat Noir rolled his eyes, “Shows how much you actually listened to our original request for help. We told you back then that the reason there was no damage to speak of is because Ladybug is able to reverse all damage caused by the akumas and other miraculous. In other words, the damage from the final fight was fixed immediately. And we banned heroes after you all refused to give us any aid. We needed to make sure that you didn’t just storm in later and try to take over or get akumatized. That would have been disastrous. You can’t just suddenly decide to come and help after ignoring us for three years.”
  ------------------
Superman stepped forward at this point, “We didn’t mean to ignore the situation. But you have to admit it sounds pretty far-fetched. Magical jewelry that is powered by ancient gods and evil butterflies possessing people doesn’t sound reasonable.” Ladybug got angry hearing that, “Why doesn’t it? You have several magic users in the Justice League, like Zatanna. You even have Dr. Fate who is a sorcerer that inhabits a magic helmet and possesses people who wear the helmet. That isn’t much different from the miraculous. Are you all seriously so close-minded that you didn’t even consider the possibility?”
  ------------------
That comment made several of the leaguers angry. They didn’t want to admit that they were in the wrong, but Ladybug was right. They had several magic users, and the Helmet of Fate is pretty similar to a miraculous. But these kids couldn’t possibly know what they are doing. The Justice League needed to step in and help get things back to normal. They were sure that they could get the city to listen. Batman turned to the mayor and said, “That ban is hardly necessary anymore. It wasn’t even necessary in the first place. These second-rate heroes just convinced you of it because their pride was hurt. Don’t you think it is time to lift it? I am sure we could help get your city back on track quicker than these children playing at heroes.” Ladybug and Chat Noir’s blood was boiling after hearing that. How dare Batman act all high and mighty and talk above them like he was superior. He had spent the last three years ignoring the problem and now wants to suddenly come in and take over. This is exactly why they put the ban in place. The mayor seemed just as angry as Ladybug and Chat Noir, “Sir, like Ladybug and Chat Noir said, you are not welcome here. They have done a fantastic job in not only dealing with Hawkmoth, but also helping the citizens return to normal.” Batman was furious, they were still going to deny them entry? The Flash stepped forward now, “Surely, with the focus being on Hawkmoth, crime rates have risen. That isn’t the fault of these kids, they wouldn’t know how to juggle dealing with Hawkmoth and also petty crime. But we can help you get that handled.” Mayor Bourgeois shook his head, “Actually, they handled both responsibilities well. Even though we told them not to worry about petty crime, and that the local police would handle it, they still patrolled every night to help. Crime rates are at an all time low here. Now I am not going to tell you again. You are not welcome here. Leave at once.”
  ------------------
The Justice League couldn’t believe it, Batman exploded, “You would seriously leave the security of your city in the hands of these wannabe heroes?” Green Lantern added, “Yeah, they are just little kids with some fancy jewelry playing pretend. You need real heroes!” The mayor and police were furious. How dare these people belittle their heroes. The mayor was now yelling as well, “Do not speak about them so rudely. They are more heroic than you seem to be. Now get out of my city.”
  ------------------
The Justice League still refused to leave. They hurled insults at the young heroes and demanded to be let in to the city. They even tried to force their way past the blockade of police officers. Ladybug turned around and gestured to Pegasus. The leaguers did not see any of this, they just heard someone call “Voyage!” They saw a giant blue portal open and then swallowed them up. When the light faded, they saw that they were in the middle of a field somewhere. Batman used his GPS and saw that they had been moved all the way to a corn field in the middle of Nebraska. He was furious, how dare they force him away through a teleport. Paris needed more competent heroes than a bunch of children playing pretend.
  ------------------
Over the next several weeks, the league continued to try and enter the city. None of their attempts worked though. They tried just flying through, entering covertly as their civilian identities, and a bunch of other plans. Somehow, the leaguers kept getting teleported right back out of the city, in increasingly strange locations. Eventually, the leaguers just decided to abandon Paris completely. They would not help Paris with any situation. Their plan was to watch the city fall to pieces and not offer any help unless they lifted that ridiculous ban. But that never happened. It irritated Batman and the others to no end that those second-rate heroes were doing a good job and that the ban wasn’t lifted. So, the leaguers resumed their attempts to break into the city. They did not count on the young heroes putting their actions in the public eye.
  ------------------
Ladybug and Chat Noir were still furious at how the leaguers behaved. They had thought that the Justice League was full of good and kind people, but the members they had met were certainly not good and kind. They were forceful and insulting. And even once they were told that they were not welcome in Paris, they kept trying to come into the city anyway. Poor Pegasus was exhausted from constantly having to teleport them away. Ladybug knew they had to do something or those leaguers would keep coming back. So, they made a video. This video told the whole world that the Justice League had ignored their calls for help all those years ago and had left young heroes to fend for themselves. It also talked about how the league had shown up after the fact and tried to bully their way into the city they had previously ignored, despite the fact they were told about the superhero ban. The video ended by talking about how they were fed up with the league members having no respect for the laws of Paris and still trying to sneak into the city. The miraculous team posted the video online and sent it to all the major news networks they could get a hold of. The public was outraged when they saw the video. The heroes they trusted were trying to break the laws in Paris? The video and public outcry seem to have worked. It had been several weeks since the video was posted, and no leaguer had tried to break into the city since. The miraculous team was ecstatic; they didn’t have to keep forcing the heroes out of the city. At last, the miraculous team and all of Paris could finally enjoy peace.

It has come to my attention that after all these years I still have not told yall about the Cell City Incident. Well, it’s time to rectify that
Realistically i know this story isnt all that funny, but its probably the only interesting thing that will ever happen to me so let me have this dammit
So! I was 12 years old. My science class was doing the Cell City project. For those of you who don’t know, Cell City is a thing that some schools around the US do where everyone has to make a physical/visual model of a cell. We spent a full month learning about the cell, studying its components, and using class-time to design/construct our models. A full month. Logic dictates that I should have this in the bag, right? 
Well. That’s only if you use your classtime wisely. I, the dumbass I was, had the chronic inability to pay attention in class, and instead spent all my time sitting in the back and watching “Keroro Gunso the Super Movie 5” about fifty times in a row. 
So no. I didn’t work on the my Cell City Model. I hadn’t started it. I didn’t even know the first thing about cells, because I hadnt listened to a single thing my teacher had said for the last month. 
And to make it even worse than that, I didn’t realize this until the night before this very important, grade-defining project was due
So. I panicked for about ten minutes - and then, true to form, procrastinated again. Told myself I could just work on it in the morning. And then rolled over and went to bed, nary a trouble to be seen.
Come morning, the morning this big project was due. I had twenty minutes to eat breakfast, get dressed, and whip together a project that SHOULD have taken me a month to prepare, and also was about a subject i had no knowledge of.
So. I looked up ‘cell anatomy’ on Google, found an old poster-board in the closet, drew a bunch of random shapes and labeled them as various parts of the cell, and then used pink and orange highlighters to color everything in. It was TRASH, and it looked hideous, but it got the job done.
But! I was also worried that everyone else in class would be doing posters too, and if there’s one thing you should know about me its that since birth i have been afflicted with the deeply american need to be Different For The Sake Of Being Different TM. 
So on my half-hour walk to school, I contemplated ways to jazz up my mediocre poster. And you know what I came up with? You wanna know what my tiny, lazy, absolute dumbass past self came up with? 
I had the oh so brilliant idea to just. Tape the poster to my chest. Just take scotch tape and attach it to my body. And  then dance around saying, “Hi! I’m Planty, the magical plant cell that came to life!” Essentially roleplaying as a cell while i tell people about what all my body parts do. 
Yeah. I really did that. The limits of my stupidity know no bounds, but in my defense I was 12 and also an idiot and also pressed for time
So, eventually presentation time rolled around. And when my teacher strolled by my desk and asked me to present to him, I did the shtick. “Hi, I’m Planty the magical plant cell that came to life!” And proceeded to spend three minutes riffing on whatever information I could only vaguely remember learning earlier that morning - because my dumb ass had struck again and neglected to take any actual notes 
At the very end, my teacher paused, wrote down my grade on his little rubric clipboard sheet, and said, “That was very creative. I can really tell you spent a lot of time on this.”
And looking back I realize he was probably being sarcastic, but in the moment? Hearing him compliment the effort I had put into a 20-minute Hail Mary? I absolutely ascended.
I got an A. 
Now here’s where things get tricky. The moment presentations were over, I tore the poster off my body and theatrically ripped it into shreds. But little did I know, my teacher had decided to enter me in for a community outreach presentation night thing, where parents and civilians could come to the school and review everyone’s best projects. 
And he entered me in. And the project I was supposed to present? The Cell City poster. Yknow. The one I had slam-dunked into a trash can in the hopes of getting someone to pay attention to me (no one did, obviously)
But my teachers didnt know that. They just eagerly approached me like “Oh, your science teacher told us all about the Planty thing! We’re all so excited to see it!”
So I lied through my teeth. I told them that I couldn’t remember where I put the poster, but I know I left it in the storage room next to the lab. Which resulted in me being led around the school for a half hour in search of something I already knew full well had been destroyed. Because I had ripped it to shreds. With my bare hands. I even primal-screamed while I did it, too. 
In the end, my history teacher dejectedly lent me his laptop so I could showcase a Prezi I’d allegedly made about Old Growth Forests. I say ‘allegedly’ because in truth no such presentation existed, but I told him it did, and hastily whipped together a Prezi in the five minutes his back was turned. I got good reviews for that presentation too, but thats only because the people reviewing me were parents, and parents know youre supposed to be nice and supportive to kids that arent your own
(That night, my parents asked me how it went. Not wanting them to think I was a total failure, I lied and said I had made a new friend named Sebastian. There was no Sebastian. A month later, they suggested that we invite Sebastian over sometime, to which I hurriedly lied and said he was moving to Wisconsin like tomorrow and I was never gonna see him again. I know for a fact that they probably didn’t buy it, but they never brought it up so neither will I)
To this day I remember almost nothing about cells, and even in college I still pull dumb crap like this. So that’s a big fat ‘no’ on whether I learned my lesson. But my teacher already gave me the A, and I’ve already graduated, so its too late. No take-backsies.

chapter two is out here! or read below the cut!
Dean turned the key to unlock the door. they all stepped inside, still in their moment of Revelation. the silence was eventually broken by jack saying, “why’s it empty?”
“It’s ‘cause our furniture isn’t here yet,” Cas explained. Dean tacked on that it would be arriving sometime today. In the meantime, before the stuff arrived, Dean took the time to explain what exactly this endeavor meant for everyone. He had applied online for a mechanic job the week prior, they had only gotten back to him to tell him he got the job the day before. Dean was still reeling from everything happening so fast. it’s like everything hed wanted for so many years was finally coming to fruition, and it was an adjustment.
Cas had signed both Jack and Claire up for school. Jack was going into first grade and Claire into her senior year of high school. Obviously, Claire was older than that, but she could pass as younger just for a little while, while everything was sorted out. Plus she could gather valuable intel that way. The hard part would be getting her to agree to this plan. Jack, on the other hand, was completely thrilled about starting school. He couldn’t wait to be able to have friends his own age. Cas didn’t have much to do throughout the day, but with the other stay-at-home parents in the neighborhood, he was sure he could find some way to help out.
Snapping out of his daydream, Dean took the time to explain how everything would go in the next month or so. “I got a job at the repair shop down the road, Cas will stay here and look after everything, Jack will go to school like we planned, and Claire, we sort of set you up in school again.”
“Wow, you guys are really on a kick of making life decisions without asking me arent you!”
“Claire, it was the best option at the time, we needed the intel from kids that age, and its not like Dean or I could just walk in and ask,” Cas explained.
There was no doubt about it, she reacted as expected. Even though shed only been out of school for a year or so, she’d never enjoyed it when she was involved, so the thought of going back made her sick to her stomach. Since there was really no where to stomp off too, as the entire house was empty, she settled for sitting on the floor behind the kitchen island to process. Some ten minutes later Dean came and sat down on the floor next to her.
“Look, I get it. Nothing can be perfect for us, but sometimes you just gotta tough it out and it’ll be better than you think.”
☾ ⋆*・゚:⋆*・゚:⠀ *⋆.*:・゚ .: ⋆*・゚: .⋆☾ ⋆*・゚:⋆*・゚:⠀ *⋆.*:・゚ .: ⋆*・゚: .⋆ ⋆*・゚:⋆*・゚:⠀ *⋆.*:・゚ .: ⋆*・゚: .⋆☾
(This is a flashback to the action point just so everyone knows whats happening)
It was a normal Tuesday evening. The couple was eating dinner just as normal. Quiet conversation, and unspoken glances were commonplace for them, so the feeling over eerie silence was nothing new, and neither thought anything of it. They didn’t even hear the sound of the door open. Did the door even open?
The husband reached across the table for the salt, his wife screamed in horror when she caught sight of the tall hooded figure above him. The town was small and she shouldve known who it was at first sight, but unfortunately, when youre about to be stabbed, those things dont come as easy. She reached across the table for her phone to call 911, but she didnt make it before the figure had stabbed her husband and was moving on to her. Those were the last thoughts she had before being found in a pool of her own blood the next morning.
The neighbor had heard them and called the cops. News spread like the blight, and everyone was taken in for questioning, so far, no motive or prime suspects had been declared. It had been a month since, and the police presence was now slim to none, even though almost no progress had been made into the actual investigation. That’s just how it is when you have to solve a murer case with nothing to go on but a dead couple and a town of suburbanites.

(this is bak in normal time just fyi)
After about half an hour of just trying to process what was happening, Claire was ready to go back to join the rest of her family in putting their furniture together. Cas was sitting on the floor in front of what looked like it could be a table, if you positioned it correctly.
“You need some help?” She asked.
“Yes, if it isnt too much to ask, I could use an extra hand,” he gestured to the manual, “it says you need two people here anyway.”
Claire sat down next to cas and took the manual from his hands, “what step are you even on? None of the pictures look like whatever you’ve managed to create.”
Upstairs, Dean was trying to show Jack how to use an impact driver, “look, I know youre only like what? Five? But its never too early to learn how to use a set of tools.” He handed the tool over to Jack, it looked wildly disproportionate in his hands but that’s not what mattered, what mattered was the fact that he was having a bonding moment with his son, a positive one too. He was bridging the gap of what he missed in his childhood, and giving Jack what he had wanted.

The next day was spent almost exclusively on introductions. First they went over and greeted their new neighbors on each side, Tracey and Paul Wayne on their right, and Peter and Vicky David on their left. It seemed to them that neither of them had much of a clue as to what was going on regarding the murder, seeing as that was not mentioned even in passing. However it could be basic politeness and not wanting to scare your new neighbors away. Both couples were in their mid-fiftes and greeted them kindly. The Waynes had a wooden statue of an eagle with some pro-America quote on it, and that was one of the most memorable things about them. The other memorable thing was their brigh red Volkswagon Beetle in the driveway. Dean silently noted a love of older cars as something to connect over in case he ever needed to get closer to them. The Davids had 6 small dogs, and that was their defining trait, they seemed like the people to have “I love my shitzu” stickers plastered all over their car, but they seemed like fine enough people.
The next thing on the agenda was when someone rang their doorbell. It was a woman about their age, who had come to their door both to introduce herself, and to inform them of a house party happening later that night. The woman introduced herself as Hester Stewart from two houses down. Both Dean and Cas were glad to see that there was someone their age who didn’t have a strange amount of pets, or questionable taste in outdoor decor. They made introductions of their own, Claire and Jack even briefly appeared to say hello. They asked her for more information about the party, and she explained that it was being put on by the HOA president to distract from all that was happening, “I guess she figured one shindig would make everyone forget about the murder that happened a few houses down from her house.” She gestured down the road and to the right, apparently in the direction of the woman’s house, “Also she did ask me to invite you, I’m not just asking you to show up without anyone’s permission,” she clarified.
After that they thanked her and went on with their day. “Do you think we should attend the party later today?” Cas asked. Not looking up from the loveseat he was putting together
“I think I was planning on it, it’d be a good way to get out and meet people, not to mention gather details on what’s happening around here without looking suspicious,” Dean replied, flipping the page in the manual.
Cas agreed. Usually events like this weren’t his thing, but he could suck it up for an hour or two if it meant gathering intel. He made a mental note to prepare for more events like this one, and pushed it to the back of his mind. He found himself having to do that more often since becoming human. His angel brain could process more information than any human by hundreds, but downsizing the amount of space in his brain was an adjustment, and he found himself having to push things of the back of his mind more often.
Claire had been eavesdropping from the top of the staircase for the past exchange. Truth be told, she was almost excited to ‘meet the new neighbors’ in such a domestic fashion. She had just gotten off the phone with Kaia, she was showing her the layout of the house, as well as updating her on the situation she had gotten herself into. “They really put you back in high school?” Kaia had asked, thinking about how if anyone had done that to her, she’d’ve put up a lot more of a fight.
“They really put me back in high school,” she had replied. Maybe deep down she did want to sort of have the closure she missed in her high school years.  She missed Kaia a large amount for only not seeing her face to face for a little less than a week, but she had learned from all she’d lost, that she just had to let herself feel her feelings.
They all gathered in the empty living room shortly after. Cas explained the whole plan to Jack and her. Jack was thrilled to be getting out of the house, and getting to see new people. He’d always been a social person, even before becoming a child, but that certainly amplified his social need. This was part of the reason Dean and Cas wanted to get out of the bunker in the first place. Now that they were actually in a position for him to make friends his age, they were certainly going to make that a priority. Dean had noticed that there were more than a few kids Jack’s age in his walk around the neighborhood earlier that day.
The hours before the gathering came faster than expected. Everyone was in a rush to change into nicer clothes and make themselves not look like they’d been putting together furniture all day. (they had, but it was the act of making themselves presentable that matters in this case.) After all, weren’t first impressions the most important? Dean hadn’t really taken account the need for nice clothes this early on in his endevour, so the nicest things he had were a button down and his spare pair of jeans. Not that anyone else was much better off. Claire was wearing a skirt with a jean jacket and combat boots, Jack didn’t change at all seeing as he didn’t see the need, and who were they to argue. Cas was probably the most normal looking of them all, with his blue suit jacket paired with some jeans.

People are actual idiots. Reporting the account and getting the thread deleted will only hurt Karl. He needs to understand why people we’re rightfully mad at him and that information doesn’t get lost. Now the thread is gone he’s going to rely on misinformation and people just screaming at him w/o context. He needed that thread to understand why and prepare a proper response and now that it’s gone there is a chance he’ll deal out a half asses response that’ll make people more mad. Way to go Karl fans, u absolutely idiots.
so this was sent before karl went live and honestly? anon called it. this might explain why his apology was so bad and vague, he couldn't see the original thread people wanted him to talk about, so he couldn't properly address everything because he didn't know what it was.
im not saying this should be a reason for us to say karls apology being bad isnt his fault, because he should have written it out so it was more clear, not gone live without seemingly planning anything, and he should have looked more for what people were mad at him about.
but its not his fault to original thread explaining what was going on was deleted. i honestly think the best way to both satisfy the demand for a quick response but also have time to properly collect information about what people are upset about so they can properly educate themselves and apologize properly and sincerely would be to tweet out something like: "I see you guys are upset and i want to apologize, however, i would like to properly educate myself on the whole situation before responding so i do it properly"
and then people would know they arent ignoring the situation, but they also wont give a shitty rushed apology. plus people will probably drop stuff they want to be addressed in the replies or sources that properly explain what was wrong with the actions taken.

long post ahead I'm sorry-
crack au where Jonah Magnus is a good guy but everything keeps going wrong and he spends all of his time running around trying to stop his employees from diving headfirst into their Fuck Up™ of the week
in this au Jonah is almost entirely incompetent but he's got the exasperated parent thing down enough to make up for his lack of braincells
he's also at least 7% dumber than he is in canon
s1 Jon: please call pest control there are so many worms
s1 Elias: I already did
Jon: and??
Elias: they ate them
Jon: the worms?
Elias: the pest control guys. the worms ate them
Elias spends the entirety of season 2 desperately trying to convince Jon that none of them killed Gertrude (in this au Gertrude just had a stroke or something in the tunnels). Elias stops Jon from destroying the table but a week later something heavy falls on it and the NotThem escapes anyway. Elias bashes in Leitner's head with a pipe after mistaking him for the monster and Jon gets framed.
now Elias has to convince this hunter that Jon is innocent while Jon runs around and harasses various fear avatars (who are all very amused with Elias' wayward Archivist). Jon assumes Elias knows nothing about all this bullshit because Elias is just his weird and uptight boss who accidentally killed someone, he can't possibly know that there are literally fear gods ruling over them
olive ⚰ has named the group 'Avatars ✨'
JMagnus 👀: Jude please don't hurt him. I'll explain everything when he gets back to the Institute.
🔥: too late
JMagnus 👀: What?
🔥: too late
🔥: burned him
[JMagnus 👀 is typing]
JMagnus 👀: Where is he now.
🔥: going to mike
JMagnus 👀: Mike Crew???
🔥: ya
Elias RACES to Mike's house but he. he fucking misses them. the Beholding helpfully tells him that they're all going back to the Institute so Basira and Daisy can interrogate him, which isn't ideal, he'd really like to not go to jail, so he drafts up an employment contract on the way back and barely manages to escape the whole thing with his life intact.
then he explains everything to Jon because if Jon is going to end up being the Archivist, being uninformed won't do. Jon becomes the Archivist completely on accident and Elias is desperately trying to make all of this work because, haha, the Unknowing is coming up, and Elias is not in the fucking mood to deal with clowns.
olive ⚰ has named the group 'all that is terror uwu'
spidey🕸: lmfaooo jonah how do you make an archivist on accident
JMagnus 👀: He stumbled into it. All I can do now is ensure he doesn't die.
JMagnus 👀: Or get further injured by the rest of you.

JMagnus 👀: NIKOLA
spidey🕸: wow he must be pissed
spidey🕸: he left out the punctuation
JMagnus 👀: I WILL BREAK ALL OF YOUR PLASTIC BONES WHERE'S MY ARCHIVIST
🎭 has left the chat.
JMagnus 👀: what the FUCK
since he's still a coward Elias sends Michael to go fetch Jon, only finding out after the fact that he very nearly almost signed Jon's death warrant. Elias is now speedrunning Jon's development because fuck the Unknowing is coming up really quickly and Tim is a self destructive mess and Melanie keeps trying to stab Elias and Martin is a pining idiot and goddammit he didn't sign up for this
Elias prepares Jon the best he can for the Unknowing, because even though he knows the ritual will fail, the Circus can still cause a considerable amount of damage and he needs them out of the way.
the Unknowing happens. Jon ends up in a wack ass coma, Tim is dead, Daisy's in the coffin, and Basira is starting to look like the better choice of Archivist because jesus christ Jon has no self preservation instinct. Elias doesn't get arrested this time around but his ex husband starts coming by the Institute and fucking with all his employees. and the Flesh is attacking. jesus. goddamn.
olive ⚰ has named the group 'bully elias'
JMagnus 👀: Why are you all so mean to me? I'm arguably the nicest one here.

🔥: but jons fine once you burn some manners into him
JMagnus 👀: Can you all please stop hurting Jon? Or talking about hurting him? I would like my Archivist to not acquire any more scars.
🔥: damn
Peter Lukas: damn 😔
Elias keeps trying to teach Jon how to pick certain victims to feed off of because personally he has no qualms about feeding from innocents but Jon!! actually trusts him!!! so Elias doesn't want to push Jon into making decisions that will offend his moral sensitivities.
things are actually going okay for a while. Elias starts going home at a reasonable time in the evenings and Jon is actually getting some sleep. and then-
Elias is having a nice dream about Peter trying to fish Simon Fairchild out of a sky filled with eyes when he abruptly sits up in bed, wide awake.
"Ah, fuck," he says to Peter, who is laying on the floor where it is Lonelier™. "Jon's doing something stupid. I Know it."
Peter's mumbled "isn't he always" goes unnoticed as Elias hurries to the Institute, where he finds a fucking rib on Jon's desk and the coffin in the middle of the room.
Peter Lukas has named the chat 'archivists ruin my sleep schedule and my sex life'
JMagnus 👀: What the fuck do I do?? I can't go into the Buried! Why is Jon so stupid? I didn't know he had zero braincells when I hired him!
🔥: ngl why havent you fired him yet
JMagnus 👀: Beholding won't let me. We're all bound to the Institute.
🔥: F
JMagnus 👀: Why are there no Buried avatars in here? Please someone help me.
mike n ike: lol the buried is gross why would anyone go down there
spidey🕸: does he have an anchor?
[JMagnus 👀 sent an image]
🔥: is that a fucking rib
spidey🕸: wow that's not a good anchor at all
spidey🕸: he needs someone he loves
JMagnus 👀: Thanks. Gtg.
spidey🕸: np
🔥: are we not going to talk about his rib
🔥: how the fuck did he get that out of his body
🔥: yall
🔥: YALL
it takes three days for Elias to find Martin.
"Please tell me why the fuck you're dabbling in the Lonely," Elias says as Martin steps sheepishly out of the fog.
"Ah. Well. Jon can't See into it very well and sometimes we like to spice up our se-"
"Stop before I have to gouge my eyes out again."
"A-Again-?"
Elias drags Martin back to the Institute. Martin starts setting tapes on the coffin because "Jon loves these" and Elias starts bashing his head into the wall.
Jon climbs out of the coffin with Daisy and Elias almost considers locking Jon in his office so the damn archivist can't do anything else ridiculous. instead, Elias very calmly takes Jon by the shoulders, and shakes him like a rag doll.
"Stop fucking with entities, you stupid, stupid man," Elias says, shaking Jon more viciously now.
after several hours of breathing exercises Elias returns to his house and doesn't take his Sight off of Jon for the rest of the night, which is a fun experience for Peter when he wakes up and finds Elias' bloodshot eyes staring directly at him in the morning.
JMagnus 👀 added Daisy to 'archivists ruin my sleep schedule and my sex life'
Peter Lukas has named the chat 'archivist hate club'
JMagnus 👀 has named the chat 'shut up peter'
Peter Lukas has named the chat 'you love jon more than me'
JMagnus 👀 has named the chat 'I don't love either of you I'm heartless'
Peter Lukas has named the chat 'I want a divorce'
spidey🕸: jeez take your marital dispute elsewhere
spidey🕸 has named the chat 'lonelyeyes dni'
Daisy: wtf is this
mike n ike: it's a chat for avatars
mike n ike: and ex avatars ig
Daisy: didn't I kill you
mike n ike: yea
JMagnus 👀: Hello, Daisy. Welcome to the group chat.
Daisy: why is Jon not in here
Peter Lukas: because I hate him 😁
spidey🕸: Elias talks mad shit in here and Jon would get offended
Daisy: if you talk bad about Jon I'll rip your throat out
Daisy: :)
JMagnus 👀: Noted.
mike n ike: he's kinda rude tho
Daisy: I've killed you once
Elias' only goal now is to keep Jon and his assistants from pulling any more wild stunts without his supervision. his renewed involvement with the archival staff results in a few things he'd hoped to avoid: drink invites, physical contact (Martin is surprisingly quick to start hugging Elias once he realizes Elias won't stop him), and- shudder -feelings. because Elias genuinely cares about his staff and doesn't want any harm to befall them. especially Jon. Jon is his Archivist, the only one to ever succeed like this, and Elias will be damned if he lets anything happen to him.
"Why do you care?" Jon asks, once, compulsion thrumming like static on his tongue. "About us, I mean. I would've assumed you'd want to perform the Beholding's ritual."
Jonah Magnus attempted the Watcher's Crown once, when he was young and new. he'd brought his patron close, but not all the way through, and the backlash of power killed all the inmates at Millbank and severely crippled Jonah's connection to the Eye for months afterward. he grew to assume that the Beholding simply preferred the world as it was--ripe with fear for watching. it didn't need a ritual.
he instead dedicated himself to growing stronger, cultivating his Institute of knowledge, his stronghold. if he tore out a few people's eyes when he got too old, then, well, collateral. but he doesn't want the world to end, and knows now that no ritual will ever succeed unless it brings in all the Powers at once. and he doesn't want that either.
it's concerning to him that Jon seems to be collecting marks regardless. the only ones he's missing are the Dark and the Lonely, and Elias is determined to keep it that way.
he explains all of this to Jon who, to his credit, takes it pretty well. Jon is fascinated with historic life and Elias spends some time simply recounting tales of his youth, when he still bore the name Magnus.
they bond. it's good.
and one day Basira does a little too much research and discovers the dark sun waiting in Ny Alesund. she insists they need to go and see what's left of the People's Church, they need to ensure everything is taken care of. Jon is rather insistent too. and Elias wouldn't have been inclined to let them go, except Peter was finally home after weeks at sea, and it wasn't like Jon was defenseless, he could call Elias if anything went wrong...
so, very reluctantly, Elias gives them the all clear. Basira, Jon, and Martin head north, and Elias almost forgets they've gone when he arrives home and Peter already has dinner prepared.
Jon comes back marked by the Dark.
Elias curses himself, over and over, for being foolish enough to let them go, for not keeping a closer eye on them. he knows the ritual won't work unless a certain incantation is spoken, so he'll just have to keep world-ending written chants away from Jon. easy. and it's not like Jon will even get marked by the Lonely. Peter wouldn't.
(but Martin doesn't have the same level of control, and sometimes...)
it's an accident. Martin and Jon are testing it, pushing the boundaries, when Martin pulls them both into the Lonely. Elias threatens divorce until Peter caves and fetches them, but it's too late. Jon has been marked by all fourteen Powers.
Elias tells him, and warns him to check everything he reads.
helen!!!!! has named the chat 'apocalypse babey'
JMagnus 👀: How are you doing that?
JMagnus 👀: And the apocalypse is not imminent. I have the situation under control.
olive ⚰: ha yeah
JMagnus 👀: What do you mean by that?
olive ⚰: nothing
JMagnus 👀: Well, now I certainly think it's something.
olive ⚰: it's just
olive ⚰: don't you think it's kinda weird that @spidey🕸 has been offline for so long
🔥: thats weird shes always online
JMagnus 👀: Oliver, what are you implying?
olive ⚰: idk
olive ⚰: just weird, that's all
🔥: never good when the spiders are quiet
olive ⚰: hear hear
Elias gets a sinking feeling in his stomach, and beside him, Peter looks alarmed. meanwhile, in his flat with Martin making tea in the other room, Jon has a statement clutched in his grasp.
Hello, Jon.
I would apologize for the deception, but I'm afraid that's quite what I'm good at. I'm not one to monologue, that's more Jonah's shtick, so shall we get on with things?
I admit I underestimated Jonah Magnus. He's still remarkably easy to manipulate, but when he abandoned the Watcher's Crown ritual I knew I would have to take a different approach. The Mother is not so satisfied with the world as she may have insinuated. It is our turn to rise, Jon.
At the age of eight, you were marked by us. We sent you to the Magnus Institute in the hopes that a new Archivist would rekindle Jonah's desire to end the world. Unfortunately, it seemed as though he grew fond of you, and so we brought in a new plan. We marked you. One fear at a time. Jonah gave an admirable attempt at protecting you, but ultimately, he is an incompetent old fool, and I am a Weaver. Even Jonah Magnus dances to invisible strings.
Everyone underestimates a spider until it bites. Poison is poison, Jon, regardless of the medium in which it is served.
You will be safe in this new world. Martin, too. Perhaps even Jonah and his Lukas, if the Mother deems them worthy.
Now, please repeat after me...
Jon reads the ink scratched words, eyes welling up with tears and hands trembling, as thunder crashes outside and a howling gale picks up beyond the windows. Martin is shouting something, there's the crawling press of Elias' gaze as it rests heavy behind Jon, a silent observer. He can feel Elias' soothing presence, cool and calm in the raging storm.
Elias is still watching out for him.
Strings are wrapped around his wrists, jerking his arms up in a poor mockery of religious regard, strange hysterical laughter clawing out from his throat.
Jon's tears run red. Somewhere, Elias is still watching.
The door opens.
