Bantr. It was the new trendy dating app everyone's using. It's a complete anonymous dating app, where you find your partner without any pictures or whatsover, only the things your counterpart says the you. This is the formal description of Keeley Jones, the developer of Bantr. Everyone in your surrounding and who's single has this app, exept for you. It wasn't like you weren't against the idea, but you didn't believed in every trend. With you the only single one who has not the app, your and your brothers teammates were basicly forcing you to download this app.

"Comon, Y/n. You know it going to work, since you look more for personality and everything. And wouldn't be home alone anymore." Your brother whined. Since weeks he tries to get you to download this app. He even put your own teammates against you, who were always on your side.

"I'm everything but lonely, Phil. And who knows maybe in two weeks no ones using this shitty app anymore" He raised an eyebrow.

"Y/n/n you are lonely. And who cares about this stuff. If you don't do it on your free will I will. And I will find you a hot chic who has both looks and personality." With that he grabbed your phone to make his threatment reality.

"Alright, alright. But at least let me do the fucking profil on my own."

"Alright, heartbreacker" He smiled as he gave you your phone back.

"I hate you" you said as you opend the app and logged yourself in. Phil kept a close eye on your phone until Jack walk over to the next room

"Yo Jack. You own me 20 bucks!" Phil yelled at him.

"I can't belive you fucking bet on me" You said shaking your head.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

On the other side of Manchester it looked a bit different.

"Tooney, I think I'm gonna delete this app" Alessia sighed.

"What Bantr? Don't you dare." Ella muffled with a mouth full of crips.

"Because it's useless."

With that Ella stop whatever movie they were watching. It was movie night at Alessias like every friday. "Why? I thought there was this one girl you wanted to meet up with."

"Well she canceled"

"What? Why?"

"I don't know. Can we just go on with the movie?"

"Of course yeah. But I swear on my boyfriend that I and this app will find some one for you." Ella said while putting on the tv again.

"No don't swear on him. He's actually nice" Alessia said smilling.

A few hours and two movies later Alessia and Ella still sat on the couch, with Ella sleeping besides her bestfriend. Alessia often tought about going also to sleep but the movies always kept her awake. So the blonde finally decides to put the tv off and closing her eyes too. But as she wanted to drift off, her phone beeped. With a sigh she looks at her phone and frowned at the bantr message.

Hey, sorry to disturb you. But my brother wouldn't leave me alone, if I wouldn't text anyone on this stupid app. ;)

Alessia smiled at this message. She ddebated if she's going to answer or not. In the end she decided to give it a try.

Hi. No everythings fine. I share the same opinion with this app. My bestfriend forced me to get it.

A thing Alessia didn't know was, that you were smilling on your phone to her respond. Happy that there was someone who shared the same opinion as you.

Looks like we have the same story. So do you maybe know how this app works properly?

I could help you indeed

I'm all ears, Bantr master

Alessia couldn't stop smiling. She wrote with many girls, acording the Ella it's necessary to find the perfect match, but never smiled this much in the beginning. She adjusted herself on the couch and text the anymous person.

You texted each other for hours until you had to put a stop into this. On sunday you had a game and with that a little training and a meeting. Your told her you had to work, not what you do for living. You didn't feel like telling a stranger that you are a footballer and maybe get used for this. But your texting partner didn't mind and you fell asleep thinking about her.

Alessia on the other side couldn't sleep, thinking to much about her texting partner. The conversation you two had was easy. It was easy to talk to you. Easier then with the other girls she texted with.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

Ella woke up, searching for her bestfriend on the couch. Confussed she couldn't found Alessia, Ella walked around Alessias house, only to find her sitting on the kitchen counter with a smile in her face. She was looking down at the phone in her hands.

"What got you so smiley today, Lessi?" Ella asked. With that Alessia looked up and aknowledge for the first time her bestfriends precence.

"Nothing!" Alessia said quickly and turned her phone off quick. Too quick for Ella to believe.

"Well I think, you got a match on bantr, right?" Alessia nodded her head frusterated. There was no point in lying.

"Ohh. What's her name? Dies she lives in Manchester? Tell me everything you know." Ella commanded.

"Well she's a private person" Ella nodded suspicious. "Her names Y/n...uhm... yes she lives in Manchester and her favourite colour is Y/f/c"

Ella looked at her bestfriend dumbfounded. "Is that everything?" Alessia nodded her head slowly. "Oh dios mío. You really don't know how to talk to people. But let me handle this... Oh I got one. Ask her if she supports United or City."

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

"So how's bantr?" Lauren Hemp, your bestfriend, welcomed you, when you entered the pitch

"Good morning to you too, and how do you even fucking know about that one?" You asked her confussed while you tied your shoelaces.

"I have my trust sources" You shook your head. Your brother must tell someone and one of his teammates told it Lauren or it was Jack who told then Lauren. "So found any matches?" She asked curious.

"Yeah, I started texting with someone yesterday" You said proudly.

"Show me!" You gave Lauren your phone, so she could read the chat. "Why aren't you answering her?" She shoved your into your face.

"You see the kind off question she wrote down, right? So know imagine she supports fucking united. I wouldn't know what the fuck to do."

"You don't do anything, silly. You just have to shake of your pride and look over this, mate, if you like her. You do, right?" Lauren asked with a smile.

"The fuck, Lauren. I don't even know her. We texted yesterday. How can I like her then?"

"Because I know you. But you can't tell me you don't know anything."

"Well, her name is Alessia-"

"Uh like Alessia Russo." Lauren interrupted you. It was to tease you, because she knew about your rivalery you had in the league and who gets the starting on the Lionesses, since you both a striker.

"Don't Lauren, or I fucking-"

"Hey! Everyone to the middle!" Your coach yelled. As soon as everyone was in position, he went on. "Alright girls. Tomorrow we have a game to warm us up against United next week. As we know Tottenham is nearly on relegation, I do not wanna see any mistakes. It's also important that we win this game, so we are going to be second, since Chelsea lost against Arsenal. And with a win next week we are going to be first." He looked everyone of his players in the eyes. "Okay, so today is a short training with an tactic meeting afterwards. So want you all be ready at 2 o'clock in the meeting."

With that the training started. It was not intense, just something to train the things that didn't worked. After the coach dismissed y'all, you went instenly to your phone, to look what Alessia had texted you. You texted her in a pause.

Well isn't this sad, because I think Manchester is red ;)

You smiled at your phone for a short time. Something that didn't went unnoticed by your bestfriend.

Don't know if you support woman football, but they are playing next week. I think you going to see there, that Manchester is blue.

"Make sure your ready at 2, heartbreacker" Lauren said, when she walked to the showers.

Quickly you grabbed your towel and speeded after her. "Where do you get all this Informationen?.... Wait!... Are you talking with Jack again?" You yelled and ran after her.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

In the next days the texting with each other has grow to an routine of the other. When you had your meeting for the game against Tottenham, what you won 4:0 with a hattrick of yours, you couldn't keep your hands and eyes of the screen. It went this far that the coach had to take it away from you.

With the win against Tottenham ManCity was one point apart from ManUnited. The tension got thicker in training and everyone worked hard to win this derby.

You and Alessia had a bet to finally meet after the long time of writting. If City wins Alessia had to orginze the date and if United wins you had to it. It gave you both something to work harder, to impress the other one, even none of you know that you both are playing profionall football for the Manchester clubs.

You felt attracted towards the woman. You liked her personality and of course that she is big football fan, who also watched the womans game. She on the other side felt like she had fallen for you. Alessia was known as a person who falls in love very easily. It has it pros and cons. One con she doesn't even know you properly. She only knew a version you could have created. But she was looking forward to the date.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

It was matchday. Your nerves went crazy like on every other big game. Steph Houghton gave the last prep talk before everyone lined up after her. You stood to your annoce next to Alessia Russo. You gave each other a look that meant, whoever wins this game gets the starting spot for the upcoming international break.

The game was intense. Both didn't want to give the other the win and with that the first place. It was 35th, when Alessia shot a beautiful goal with an assist from Ella. The United girls celebrated the goal loud with their fans. Then there was halftime. You went with anger of yourself in your locker-room, but it went away quickly, when you saw that Alessia had texted you.

1:0 for me, opps

You wish, honey. City still got full 45 min to score at least one goal

Not going to happen

Ella saw Alessias smile and smiled to herself before she sat next to her. She looked at her bestfriends phone before their coach called for everyones attention.

The game got more intense, than it already was. You had chances over chances, but nothing worked. Neither it was Mary or the last defender.

With that the game ended 1:0 and United stayed on top of the table. You were ready for a teasing comment from Alessia, like always when she wins against you, but that didn't happened. She just ran to the locker room. Weird, you thought. She always stays for the fans in the end. Since you played abroad, you also just went to the locker room. You were frusterated with yourself. You wanted to win against Alessia, but also wanted to impress the girl you had to admit were falling for.

When you entered the locker room you could see the disappointed and frustration in your teammates faces. You the first thing you did after you sat down, like all the other times, you went straight to your phone and of course did Alessia message you.

So since Manchester is red again, where does our date lead us. ;) ♡

Alessia was eager to finally meet you. To see if she not fell for a version the other person created. So she went straight to the lockerroom, forgetting for once the fans and texted you. She knew it sounded desprate, but she hoped you were too. Slowly the other girls were entering the locker room and started to celebrate their.

"Lessi, why are you on your phone? Come celebrate with us. You can text or whatever later." Ona said. But the blonde ressist.

"I'm good Ona" But the spaniard wasn't not pleased with the answer. She wanted to ask Alessia again, but interrupted by Mary, who put the music on.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

Today was the day for your meeting with the girl you had fallen for over the last two weeks. It felt like falling for a mystery. Alessia wanted nothing fancy, like going out to a restaurant or something. So you decided to go to Café. Both of you were nervous to meet the other person. Alessia was a mess and put on every outfit she had. But with Ellas help she finally found something to wear. She also helped Alessia with the hair, that she at the end wore down.

You were also not better. Lauren came over and helped you with an outfit and gave advice on how to style your hair, but also to calm down your nerves. She swears she had never seen you this nervous. And of course your brother called you. He told you how he knew you find someone on this app and that he wishes you the best luck. With a look in the mirror you made your way to the Café.

But you still were running late so you texted her about it.

It's fine I'll wait outside

And she did it waited for you, but it looks like you were not coming.

Because you knew that Café very well, you drove a little bit different, so Alessia wouldn't see straight away. With a last look in the mirror of your car, you walked to the Café. But as you got closer to it, you couldn't believe your eyes. Alessia mf Russo stood there with her phone in her hand.

I'm outside. Where are you?

And now it hit you. The name Alessia, supporting Manchester United, having two brother. It now all made sense. And you stood there on your spot frozen and for the first time you didn't know what to do.

"Fuck me"

Part 2 maybe?

Chapter 14

Weeks passed by with no particular strange incidents. You felt way more relaxed after reading that no major incidents struck your village or the nation. Though one thing did give you restless minds: Hikari. Her birthday was coming up and you didn't know what to do for her. I mean what could you do really? 

With Kunikuzushi posing as a distraction you didn't have much time to think about Hikari as much as you wanted to because Kunikuzushi tried to cheer you up constantly, noticing your distant looks when he came by the café you worked at. 

The two of you ended up doing some picnics with Sara and Heizou accompanying you. Sara was there to just be with you while Heizou wanted to 'balance out' the group by joining as well. Then because you didn't want Maple to feel left out you also brought her with you. She enjoyed jumping around and trying to catch butterflies.

Then there were some alone walks between Kunikuzushi and you but it always became awkward after you were lost in your thoughts while walking with him. 

Slowly but surely Kunikuzushi started entering in your daily routine again  by driving you to work, picking you up from work and sometimes cooking for you. It felt like he was taking care of you but maybe you were getting delusional thinking he still loved you. The way he treated you sometimes gave you butterflies in your stomach, but you just brushed it off, thinking it was just a desperate feeling of wanting someone to take care of you.

Sometimes he would tell you he had to go somewhere for a while and you didn't mind. But when he could take care of you you would feel so much more at ease as most of your daily worries slowly disappeared. For example: waking up early to make sure you wouldn't miss the only bus that made sure you were on time for work, forgetting to get groceries or ending up skipping dinner because you would be too tired to cook. 

Working yourself tirelessly was your way of going through the days and weeks. If you focused enough you wouldn't suddenly break down out of nowhere. You knew her birthday was coming up soon and you felt so stupid about not thinking about her more. You felt exhausted knowing each day was making it less likely for her to be found back, exhausted knowing that you might have been waiting for nothing.

There were never any updates on her case from the police after that unfortunate day. Asking Heizou or Sara for information would be useless because they had no access to those files and you wouldn't want to accidentally fire them as the Tenryou police force already disliked you very much. 

Sure Kokomi had taken on the case which irritated the local police even more and Gorou made sure to tell you if there were updates but alas, there were still none till this day. 

Today was the day before Hikari's birthday and you had taken off work for the next few days, wanting to spend time alone. Thoma assured you didn't have to worry about the cafe as you were basically the second manager there and knew how everything worked. 

Sara and Heizou knew not to disturb you in your alone time and made sure to only send minimal messages to you. 

But one person made today his mission to take you out today. And it was none other than Kunikuzushi. After all, you never told him about Hikari. He surely wouldn't care about her if he left you at your worst state plus you were almost certain his opinion about kids never changed after the last incident. 

"Can't we just go somewhere next week?" Your muffled voice spoke while buried in a pillow.  

"Come on, the weather is good tomorrow!" Kunikuzushi said with much excitement. He happened to call you on your day off to go out but you felt drained. 

"But so is next week.." 

"You're always saying next week and then you forget about it.." Ah yes that was right, because you overworked yourself and mostly forgot things. Things like appointments you had to write on a calendar hanging in your living room because you would forget that as well as sending all your appointments to Sara so she could remind you. You didn't really use the calendar on your phone because you didn't like the way it looked so a paper calendar was your solution. 

"Meow~" Your cat meowed, climbed onto your bed and nuzzled her head into your hair. 

"Even your cat agrees." Kunikuzushi said, making you groan in annoyance. 

"Maple is a cat, how could she possibly understand us.. Ugh I'm tired.. I'm hanging up.." You said with a sigh, moving your hand towards the button. 

"Wait but tomorrow-" 

"We'll see tomorrow."

And you hung up before he could say anything else. 

You sighed as you threw your phone on your bed and got out of your bedroom. 

As you walked from your room to Hikari's room you noticed the faint crayon stripes and other small drawings Hikari did, with much scolding from you. 

Originally you were going to permanently remove it by painting over them, but you felt that it was like removing Hikari out of the house so you decided to keep it, even though it might have made her think she was allowed to draw on the walls.

You grabbed the key from your pocket and unlocked the door, entering it quietly. Maple, who had gotten out of bed to follow you, also walked behind you curiously. 

You picked him up and brought her to your eye view, showing her Hikari's room. 

She meowed a bit before jumping out of your arms to Hikari's neatly made up bed. Even for a cat, she did look sad as if she could sense your emotions. She just sat still and looked at you. 

You closed your eyes and breathed, trying to remember all the good times with your daughter again. 

"I miss you Hikari, please give me a sign you're still out there." You spoke as a tear slipped down your face. 

“You will.” A voice responded unbeknownst to you.

MHA chapter 419 rant

What the actual hell is this chapter ?!?!?!? What is going on horikoshi?!?!??

So suprise AFO IS BACK👎👎👎 seriously what the hell I knew he was gonna come back but he is so boring and I hate him as a villain like wdym you only pulling up with a plan that failed multiple times cos you have thing for your brother like!?!? The doctor and the hero comission could of been better villains. My point still stands AFO being the main bad guy even though this mf was killed and injured by everyone is lame and stupid 😭. Like can AFO just disappear out of existence already like?!?! Also I really doubt that dfo is true considering this guy just loves to act like a season 1 bakugo and call Izuku useless every breathing moment he gets. Also at this point afo out here using shigaraki like a wet human suit thing and that's it

Shigaraki is dead?!?!!!? Vile. Y'all telling me that shigaraki is basically dead this guy basically killed himself after a little fight (it wasn't little that's a hyperbole it was huge he deserves better than this disservice) sigh so shigaraki died with all his memories and the truth of his own origin which is completely sad and wow the amount of retconning for this is insane. Wdym to tell me that AFO needed someone emotionally weak to take advantage of so he chose kotaro, befriended the guy and manipulated him into having Tenko and then used Tenko as his little thing to make the perfect vessel!?!???!? DAM SHIGARAKI IAM SORRRY HORI DID YOU LIKE THIS

Izuku lost two arms and is getting the worst end of the stick as always. As an izuku Stan this isn't it for me like what are you telling me that HE LOST TWO ARMS AND THEN PEOPLE DO COME BUT I AINT SEEING NONE TRYNA HELP THIS GUY. ALSO IZUKU IS NOW ARMLESS AND QUIRKLESS WHATS GOOD ON HERE??!?????!?!? Also looks like izuku out here being the only one who doesn't actually get a full heart to heart with their villain at least ochako and toga were treated better and got that little sob scene where they called eachothers names out and what not but izuku and shigaraki gotta be sentenced to pure suffering for no reason 🤦‍♀️. Also the whole page is Hella and I mean Hella creepy and off like wth is this it's too gory (I know that's not valid criticism but this is my opinion) Izuku out here being the only one who can't be a proper hero like the guy couldn't even stand up to AFO unlike bk this is just mountains and mountains of disrespect and disservice . SOMEONE CHECK UP ON POOR INKO AND IZUKU

The quirks the backstory the things?!?!. So basically overhaul had the oh quirk or whoever the guy in the picture manga panel thingy which looks like OVERHAUL. This guy had an op quirk like he had the power of destruction and reconstruction but then afo takes that away and then has the doctor somehow somehow genetically modify it ( istg i still dont know how that works or how he could do that) and then TOOK SHIGARAKIS OG QUIRK WHICH (what was his og quirk we arent ever told) and then proceedes to set this child who wanted to be a hero for pure failure. Also what is going on with AFO and kotaros relationship and why does the description of kotaro being mentally/emotionally weak heavily remind me of inko midoriya. Also the RETCON LIKE OH AFO IS LIKE HAVE A KID FOR ME OR SOME BS AND HE HAS A KID AND THEN KOTARO APPARENTLY FULLY LOVES HIS FAMILY HOWEVER IT LOOKS LIKE KOTARO LOVES AFO More THAN HIS FAMILY

Eraserhead making a comeback and finally apologising (or not). I mean at least Eraserhead is back and apologising to his student for failing to be a teacher to him which ok cool cliffhanger I guess. Also where is mic I don't think I can take it if mic is secretly off screened especially cos Eraserhead is crying why is the guy crying like is he crying for izuku which dam as he should your student is dying but he was legit shouting left and right for bakugo 🤷‍♀️. Also Eraserhead has a lot of apologies for izuku considering how he treated the poor dude. ALSO DOES THIS MEAN OBORO IS BACK TO THE PLOT SOMEHOW ( I love oboro) but how does this work how did it happen how did he break free Iam so confused did much due for oboro or something.

Sato, ojirou and sero out here coming in clutch. but none y'all running to see if izuku ain't gonna die from blood loss or something. Cool entry I guess everyone can take a good fight with AFO but Izuku because hori doesn't like izuku and izuku just sucks!!!. I get it 1A is too big so hori out here needing to give everyone their little moments but like?!?! This just makes afo seem so weak it first went from only all might being the one to even fouch and defeat afo and now its everyone thats not the ofa users which great (sarcasm if you couldn't tell). ALSO THIS MOMENT DONT WORK BECAUSE IZUKU LACKS DEVELOPMENT AND SO DOES 1A and their whole dynamic?!?!?!!!!!???!

I Have ALREADY SEEN THE SHIGARAKI MIGHT COMEBEACK COS AFO CAN HEAR HIS ECHO BUT I DONT WANT HIM BACK AND IF HE DOES HE SHOULD DIE WITH IZUKU COS I GENUINELY GIVE UP

In conclusion, I hope both izuku and shigaraki die and izuku to be remembered as the greatest hero and that's it honestly!!

@assaultmech71 I'm putting this in a separate post because it IS a little off topic and that particular post is becoming fairly long and unwieldy as it is.

Part of my dislike of Luxsoka (and Lux in general) stems from my dislike of the episode he's introduced in. Heroes on Both Sides is supposed to show us that there's genuinely good people with legitimate grievances on the Separatist side and that Ahsoka is like... being kind-of ignorant by assuming all of the Separatists are evil assholes. However this is done SO SO BADLY the entire way through. I've talked about Mina Bonteri's whole sob story about her husband on some sort of base that got attacked by the clones and how unbelievable it is that the clones apparently just attacked an innocent base full of innocent people or something. There's NO WAY that Mina's husband wasn't involved in something either war-related or just sketchy and evil.

Lux on the other hand is sitting there being paralleled with Ahsoka where they're supposed to recognize that their lack of knowledge of the other side has caused them to be a little prejudiced towards each other. But while Lux has never actually met any Jedi and is making his entire opinion based on a lot of propaganda, Ahsoka HAS met Separatists, they just come in the form of military generals usually. Lux I think specifies "any Separatists who AREN'T military leaders" which is pretty unfair because those military personnel are STILL military leaders and effectively Ahsoka's counterpoint within the Separatist organization. Ahsoka has seen these people who claim to fight on behalf of the Separatist government do some absolutely heinous shit to actual innocent civilians (she's there for the incident with the Lurmens, the Blue Shadow Virus, Ryloth, and the Holocron Heist arc at this point). Ahsoka has genuine evidence to believe that the Separatists are, at best, ignorant of what's being done in their name, and at worst complicit in these actions being perpetrated by their military. Ahsoka isn't naive or ignorant the way Lux is, it's not a fair comparison. So their entire connection here is based on what amounts to a lie.

Lux also literally gives Ahsoka a once over when she bandies his own words back at him and asks him if she looks evil, which is juvenile and gross. And yes, he IS juvenile and Ahsoka does call him out on it a little, but still. It's not exactly a GREAT first impression here.

So basically a large part of the reason I hate him is because his entire introduction is just really really stupid and he represents this radically unfair perspective on the Jedi at this point just to make a point that isn't even ENTIRELY true.

Then we come to their second meeting where the whole episode ends with them saying they were a "good team" except that Lux fucks up approximately 20 different times and Ahsoka has to keep saving his ass and doing all the work. And Lux also betrays her like 4-5 separate times, he slaps her ass and acts like a misogynist to keep up an act with DEATH WATCH, apparently doesn't know or just doesn't care that Death Watch are literal terrorists, and is just overall completely awful and useless the whole time. They're not a good team, he's just a massive fuck up with delusions of grandeur who Ahsoka has to keep bailing out of danger over and over again.

He's better by their third meeting during the Onderon arc, but by then whatever feelings he may have had for Ahsoka seem to have faded and he's got a new girlfriend he's focused on and Ahsoka ultimately lets him go. But she's also JEALOUS of Steela for a while and it's impossible to figure out what she's even jealous OF. Like babygirl, I'm so frustrated with you right now, but you can STILL do better than Lux Bonteri. At least she decides to just move on by the end and we never see him again.

So yeah, Lux is a terrible person, a terrible love interest for Ahsoka, and Luxsoka is a fuck awful ship and I'm just so glad it got abandoned before it actually went anywhere and never came back.

hi, devon. i’m a very socially anxious white autistic person who has been quite active in protests and some related events and actions the last couple of months. i really agree with your opinions on how white supremacy can shift our focus away from community, but i find it nearly impossible to actively parttake in community. i show up with a mindset of actively contributing but feel paralyzed when faced with the chance. i don’t really know how to make social connections in general, but i so badly want to contribute to community. i think white guilt kinda plays into things as well and that makes me so ashamed and then i spiral. ik it’s a lot but do you have advice on navigating a deep urge and feeling of responsibility (as it pretty much is my responsibility as someone who wants to fight for liberation) but feeling paralyzed whenever a chance to connect actually presents itself? i always end up fumbling and unintentionally rejecting people who try to connect w me as well. i used to be very politically active as a teen but that was through organisations with a lot of structure which enabled me to feel more able. i do whatever actions i can, but being hindered by my inability to form connections makes me worried i won’t be able to end up in the communities that fight for liberation in the long haul. i’m ready to this this for the rest of my life, but not alone.

I understand this feeling so much. Please keep at it. One of the biggest problems with the white supremacy brain disease is that it expects us to do more & more quickly than is reasonable or helpful to expect of a person. So it is very likely you are beating yourself up for not speaking up, for not jumping in to offer help, and for not asserting yourself to the degree that you think that you "should," but in reality many of those efforts would be misplaced or self-defeating if you were to embark on them right now. This is a long journey, and white supremacy culture believes in urgency above all things too, and so it's important for you to give yourself some grace as well as to accept that progress for you will be a long haul, and that's okay.

Many people have told me that becoming even a neutral member of a community as a white person is an uphill battle. So many of our impulses and the social tools that we wield actively destroy community. to learn to become a good community member, we have to listen and learn a lot, and keep showing up, and risk looking foolish, inert, useless, or whatever else we worst fear. If you're not doing much right now but still showing up, you might be a neutral member! That's a good start actually. Keep going.

Also try to keep an open heart and an open mind when people of color or longstanding members of the space challenge you, correct you, playfully tease you, or try to include you, even if it feels embarassing or like an attack -- it isn't an attack, but white supremacy brain will have you thinking that it is. If you read my essay Moments of Protest, I describe a moment like this at the Powwow I recently visited. Indigenous men singled me out, brought me into the dances, included me, taught me the moves, and gave me an award even tho I was doing a miserably bad job -- I was MORTIFIED and the white fragile person inside me wanted to run away and apologize for being so inept and never come there again. Instead, I pushed past my stupid ego and kept dancing and felt incredible gratitude in my heart. This kinda thing happens in a lot of POC-led activist spaces too. People will ask you your opinion, tell you how to contribute, correct you, include you, and it will humble you, and it will be scary at first, but do your best to just stick with it and stay present doing the thing, even if you feel red-faced and guilty. Slowly you will get more used to it and you don't reflexively withdraw or push people away. It took me no joke YEARS to get to this point. I used to flee instinctively or even be mad at people for bursting my self protective bubble. You can work through it.

A lot of my usual distress tolerance building advice also applies here (see my substack for more). But I think that if you are already showing up to actions a lot and are self-aware about it, you are on the right track. You just need to keep going. Attend organizing meetings, not just protests themselves if you can. Contribute your opinion when it is warranted. Don't beat yourself up for being silent sometimes and don't beat yourself up for disagreeing with people or having questions and your opinions. Accept conflict as a healthy form of intimacy and dont run away when a moment gets awkward. Just keep learning and retraining yourself and noticing the love that people show -- by offering food, by making jokes, by acknowledging your presence to make you feel welcome, by allowing you to be there and helping you to be a better version of yourself. we all have a long way to go in this work, but you can do it. you're already doing it! you got this.

No, but RWBY vs Ace Ops will always be one of my favorite fights in the entire show, just because it shows how good RWBY are. Not because of skill, but because of how smart they were.

RWBY were sure of what they were doing, and what they wanted. The Ace Ops, on the other hand, were all over the place—leader's not even here, one doesn't even wanna fight, another one is trying to descalate the situation, and two are mad and too busy dealing with their own feelings to even think about working with their teammates instead of arguing—and that helped. Because RWBY used that for their advantage.

First things first, Ruby pisses Harriet off and leaves quickly, thus, taking Harriet away from the fight and preventing her from assisting the other Ace Ops. Since her semblance makes her super fast as well, she knows that she's probably going to be able to deal with Harriet better than the others.

However Ruby knows she is outmatched—Harriet is older and is a much more experienced fighter, so of course, she was kicking Ruby's ass—so her strategy isn't being outrunning or fighting Harriet head on: it's trying to tire her out.

During that fight, Harriet uses her semblance a lot more than Ruby does. Ruby merely runs a few times to dodge and takes a bunch of blows from her. She's not trying to actually fight, she's trying to resist until Harriet is exhausted. And it works: Harriet—whose Aura had recently broken while fighting a Megoliath, and it probably hadn't even fully regenerated before the fight started—overuses her semblance so much that at the end what takes her out is a just Weiss' ice wall, her Aura breaks and she's so tired she just passes out.

Blake and Yang take on Vine and Elm, and given their fighting styles and strengths, makes a lot of sense, just like the speedster vs speedster thing. There's also the contrast of both of those duos being supposedly partners.

At first, they are getting their asses kicked, too, when they're trying to do 1v1 or 2v2. However, the thing is that Vine and Elm weren't even working together. They were arguing and too busy to bother teaming up against them.

So, instead, Yang and Blake, seeing that and that they can't beat them individually, decide to go down the 2v1 route: take Vine out first and then take Elm out later, working together. And boy, does it work. Those two fell hard.

So, Ruby and Harriet, Yang and Blake against Elm and Vine. So, then Marrow and Weiss. My favorite.

Okay, so, Weiss uses her glyphs to make her fast enough so Marrow can't use his semblance on her. Then, she uses her own individual Freezerburn move (nice) to create mist and give her enough time to use her semblance properly—showing how much she'd learnt since her fight with Vernal—and summons her Arma Gigas. Turning this into a 2v1.

Weiss makes sure the Arma Gigas is away from her, because she knows Marrow's semblance only works on one direction. Thus, when he uses it on her, the Arma Gigas attacks him, and when he uses it on the Arma Gigas, Weiss is free and attacks him instead. So, his semblance is useless in this fight, and the poor guy—who, again, didn't even wanna fight; he even defects and joins the kids side like two days later—ends up losing badly.

Leaving Marrow with Weiss is, in my opinion, the most stupid thing the Ace Ops do in this fight, because why would you leave the guy with the most OP semblance that could have worked against any of the other three—and would have taken them out quickly—with the only RWBY member that can contrarrest said semblance with hers. Like, dude.

What you can see during the entire time is that the Ace Ops were working separately, and that's what RWBY wanted: they saw they were disagreeing with each other, they made sure they were away from each other, separated. while RWBY were working together the whole time—even Weiss and Ruby, who assisted each other in their fights. Meanwhile, the Ace Ops were just divided.

RWBY are younger and less experienced. They're not better fighters than the Ace Ops. But they're a better team. That's what makes the biggest difference.

What they don’t tell you about Chaldea is that once you get past the most obvious of bullshits (the literal apocalypse, whatever was happening during Christmas, the fucking Gudagudas,) you still end up with a large amount of very small bullshits that make absolutely no sense.

Case in point:

There is beer in the fridge.

Why is there beer in the fridge.

Goredolf’s first thought, is, naturally, that one of the servants must have made some. They’ve got so many servants here; it’s not that far-fetched to imagine that one of them might be into brewing their own stuff. He’s heard of at least one who makes her own wine (and has been throughoutly warned to never drink any of it.)

He picks up a bottle and examines it closer. The side of it reads Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster – guaranteed to get drunk even those with debuff immunity! There’s a pictogram of a skull with an ahoge beneath it.

Okay. So. This was, presumably, picked up in a store. This explains how it found its way here, except for one tiny little detail:

What fucking store the whole world was bleached???

And no, don’t bring up any of the other food they eat in Novum Chaldea. These are direct contributions from Beni-Enma (bless her heart; she may be indirectly responsible for one of the most stressful weeks of Goredolf’s life, but she’s also one of the most reasonable and normal servants around. Goredolf will take strong cooking opinions over whatever is going on with the knights of the Round Table any day of the week.)

Clearly, there is Servant Shenanigans afoot.

He could search for the owner of this bottle. They shouldn’t be drinking on duty anyways. And if they have access to intergalactic stores, they could bring back more than just beer. It would be in everyone’s best interests to identify them.

On the other hand: Servant Shenanigans. Goredolf prides himself in being a wise man (lies; he singlehandedly got Chaldea exterminated. He is a fool and an idiot and it’s a miracle that the crew hasn’t realized his uselessness already-) and that means acknowledging that anything servant-related is widely out of his depth. There is strength in withdrawing too. Yes; whatever this is can be dealt with by someone-

“If you leave the fridge open like this we’ll have a hell of a bill to pay.”

The sudden voice startles Goredolf in a calm, dignified way.

“Wow, you’re jumpy. No need to squeak, I’m not here to hurt you.” (For the record, it was not a squeak, it was a perfectly respectable and regular noise.) “Lemme just grab this.” A hand reaches out to take the beer off his palms, and-

Uh.

Goredolf. Isn’t really sure what he’s looking at?

The servant is a woman in a swimsuit. A pretty one, even, (not that it’s relevant) whose blue scarf and tight suit really emphasize her- (we said this is not relevant.) She’s also wearing,

Uh

High boots?

And a helmet?

A strange and complex set of armor over her arms and legs.

Wait, no. Upon closer inspections, these seem closer to some sort of robotic suit.

This is. Certainly a confusing outfit.

Ignorant (or uncaring) of Goredolf’s plight, the servant tears off the bottlecap and takes a swing at the beer. “Now that hits the spot.” She sighs, pleased.

“… Aren’t you a cop?” Goredolf asks, and yes, he’s aware this is a stupid question, but give him a break, how is he even supposed to react here. He’s not even sure she’s a cop. He’s read the servant files ages ago and this particular one was absolutely incomprehensible.

“Not since you guys hired me I’m not.” She takes another swing, eyeing Goredolf with a pleased expression. “Besides, the casters can debuff cleanse me if an emergency comes up, it’s fine.”

This doesn’t really sound fine, but again, servant shenanigans, not his lane. Goredolf has no claims speaking up when he believes to know better (for instance, when the Master goes off to do something stupidly dangerous and reckless again for the love of god why is no one alarmed by their blatant desensitization to danger this is not normal this is not healthy what the fuck) but for things like this he supposes he should leave it to those heroes of- holy shit her armor just vanished.

A blue jacket materializes over the servant’s shoulders, hiding a grand total of 2% of her skin. The sight strikes him dumb for a couple seconds.

“And you are?” She’s leaning on the counter as she asks, which is not helping Goredolf focus. Come on boy, what are you, some horny teenager?? You see half-naked heroes at the cafeteria every day! Get a grip!!

“Ah, have you not heard of me? I’m Goredolf Musik, Chaldea’s Director! I’m responsible for every major operation here.” He replies, puffing up his chest. And then, because some unfortunate altercations with the Celtic heroes made him realize that was a very vague title to most servants: “I also make desserts on my free time.”

The woman perks up at that second part, which, ouch. It’s good to be known for something. He supposes. “Oh! You’re the pastry guy? These are soo good, I’ve heard the others mention a new chief on the staff, I didn’t know that was you.”

The compliment is a balm on his bruised ego at least. “Well, yes. Not to brag, but I believe my croissants rival most bakeries.”

The woman nods eagerly. Oh, sweet sweet validation. Then, for some reason, she steps closer to him. “You know, Director, I have a favor to ask.”

Flattery would never work on Goredolf (but it did, it did, this fox got him good-) flattery would never work on Goredolf, but it would be rude to not at least hear her out, especially when she calls him by his proper title. “What kind?”

“Well, the Master has been bringing me to battle a lot recently. I’m the go-to when it comes to dealing with berserkers, you understand.” She sighs, putting her beer on the counter. “It’s exhausting. The mana we get from Chaldea is enough to fight, but I was wondering… is there any way for me to get a little extra?”

That seems like a reasonable request. Not one Goredolf thinks he can fulfil, though. “I’ll ask my technical advisors about it. I’m sure something can be done-”

Slender fingers cup his chin. They’re warm, Goredolf registers dimly, train of thought utterly forgotten. Like burning stars. Like an echo of summer.

“I was thinking of something else.” The servants says with a smile.

…

“Oh.”

Worst Nightmare Before Christmas criticisms I've ever heard:

(( OOC. paraphrazed and not linking to exact sources but:

>"Why is everyone singing?" >"Why does this music sound like something out of maralyn manson?" >"Sally's such a dunce; she's too stupid to get herself out of those ropes at the end." >"Halloween and Jack don't do anything for their holiday why should they ever have to complain about work?" >"Sally's such a [derogatory wymen word]!" >"The Christmas Town elves are disturbing to look at they're so creepy and unsettling." >"Jack is an incel." >"Sally's useless and all she ever does is swoon over Jack. She cares about nothing else and just has to be saved by him all the time. Ick." >"Sally is completely reliant on Jack she's completely codependent on him, actually." >"Jack Skellington's an expression-less stick man of a character. He's a nothing burger." >"This movie's message amounts to "stay in your place/don't stray from the norm'' when you really think about it. Pretty messed up there, Didney." >"Sally's so ungrateful and cruel to Jack and not supportive of his Christmas thing." >"Santa's so mean and angry and bitter and Jack would make a better Santa." >"Sally's such an ungrateful daughter to Dr. Finkelstein. How dare she want to escape; Fink's just protective, I swear." >"Jack's Christmas was actually better and Jack should have been allowed to do what he wanted cuz Jack actually really didn't do anything wrong."

PSA time kids: If someone you know says they don't really get/like/are annoyed by Nightmare Before Christmas because of x, x, and x reasons, the correct response is to let them keep that opinion. They're not arguing about out? Don't argue about it. Be adults, kids. Hatedom =/= criticism. People can appreciate something and just not personally like it that much (like me and Invader Zim or Rocky Horror) or even like it but also be able to point out the flaws in it (like me and Monster High). What's important is that this someone accepts that YOU love this thing, while YOU respect THEIR boundaries and not try to make them "see your way". --Not to get off track, but nothing makes someone ACTUALLY resent your special interest than you being really aggressive and demanding about it to them--

Within fandom, especially your own, I think you should be able to spot actual "hatedom" when you see it -and/or, ascertain what makes a bad take actually bad vs a take you just have to disagree with.

For me a bad take is: actively misreading the text/refusing to engage with text on it's own terms; inserting yourself where the text is asking you NOT to; being a jerk about your opinion like you have the one take to rule them all; and finally; coming in with a toxic badfaith/badtake cocktail and not even caring that you're doing so. This is what so many of the worst takes surrounding TNBC amount.

The "Jack is an emotion-less nothingburger of a character" is the one that perplexes me the most. I only ever saw that one once on a "cult movies that are actually not good"-site article. Feel whatever way you want about Jack as a character but I have no idea how you look at that guy and think "no personality" or even no EXPRESSION.

Ya killing me, smalls. ))

What a genuinely horrible rant there!

“I’ll take one final step, all you have to do is make me”

- whumptober, prompt no. 19

(stop treating me like a little kid. i’m not stupid)

——————————————————————————-

All her life, Tara has been pushed around.

It was hereditary, she supposed. The younger child always got the shaft. The eldest was gifted with wisdom, strength, and courage, and the younger one got a hug if they were lucky. It wasn’t fair. Tara was just as capable as Sam- even if they were five years apart.

But it never mattered what she thought anyway. Everybody looked down on her for who she was. Sure, she had a permanent limp and a scarred hand that would never entirely function the same- and maybe she was covered with more scars than kisses. None of that was her fault. Everybody in this group had some sort of stab wound or scar, some multiple. Yet Tara was always looked down on for her vices.

For a while, it didn’t bother her as much. It was pretty nice having Sam back and present in her life. She liked having someone to cuddle with and eat every meal with. It was also really nice having the twins near and Kirby and Gale available at the drop of a hat. It felt like a family. It was a scarred, dysfunctional, strange family, but a family nonetheless.

Everything was going so well. And then he returned.

Ghostface never left them alone, and when he came back, he came back with a fury.

The worst part was that her family, her friends, held a meeting without her— while she had a night class. Like she was a joke.

Surveying the room before her, she saw Mindy and Chad sharing the couch Sidney and Gale pacing the living room. Gale sat on the floor, Sam and Kirby above her, speaking in hushed tones. Nobody noticed that she had entered, too busy in their world.

Tara wasn’t an idiot. She knew he was back. They didn’t all gather like this on a whim for no reason. But what pissed her off the most was the fact that they were all having a meeting without her. Like her opinion wasn’t valued or needed. Like she was useless.

Determined to prove she wasn’t, she stormed in, eyes blazing in rage. As she entered the living room, the whispering stopped, and focused eyes grew wide in shock, the air suddenly ceasing.

Everyone but Sam shut up, and that infuriated Tara even more. How dare her big sister act like she wasn’t the most important thing in the room, like their relationship wasn’t worth anything. How dare Sam hide from her, especially after they promised to do everything together.

It's good to know Sam was still capable of breaking promises.

“Listen, she doesn’t get a weapon. You know it’s a bad idea. I can’t have that-” Sam whispered intently, her eyes solely on Kirby.

Kirby’s eyes widened at the sight of the furious Carpenter sister, and she elbowed Sam to get her to stop talking. “Sam, I think you should shut up now.”

Sam blinked. “What? Why? All I’m saying is that Tara doesn’t get a weapon, that’s-”

“-No, Sam,” Tara interrupted, getting in front of her big sister’s face.

Both Gale and Kirby moved away, sensing a family affair. The twins and Sidney quieted and watched everything go down before them. Mindy even got her phone out to record.

Without slowing down, Sam just furrowed her brow at Tara as if she was the one being unreasonable. “What? Tara, what are you doing here? This isn’t in the plan-”

Tara laughed coldly. Of course, Sam couldn’t remember Tara’s school schedule. Her thirst for power ended up in wanton disregard for her little sister. Typical. “-Quiet. Give me a fucking knife, Sam. A gun, maybe. I’m not going at this unprepared,” she hissed.

Her big sister snorted, shaking her head. Crossing her arms, she spoke to Tara like she was five years old again, enunciating slowly so her little sister could understand. “What the fuck? No. No, you’re not getting a weapon. I can protect you.”

Sneering, Tara crossed her arms. “Oh yeah? Like you protected me the last ten years? Like how you were there when Amber jumped me? Oh, wait! You weren’t there, and I suffered!”

As if the air was sucked out of the room, everyone stayed silent. They all knew it was a low blow by Tara, but not unwarranted. They were meeting without her, purposefully, as if Tara wasn’t a part of this whole shitstorm.

Sam sucked in a deep breath, her eyes darkening in anger. “That’s not fair, and you know it,” she whispered, glowering down at Tara.

Tara threw her hands up in the air. This was not the point. She would apologize later. “Give me a fucking knife, now. I’m not going at this bare-handed!”

“You can’t be trusted with a weapon!” Sam retorted back, her hackles rising.

Rolling her eyes, Tara got up in Sam’s face. “How do you know that? I’m sorry; I’m not predisposed to violence. I’m sorry, I’m not of Loomis blood. Give me the goddamn weapon, now,” she hissed.

Sidney, knowing it was about to get ugly, made a move behind her, closing in slowly, ready to pull her back. Gale and Kirby got closer to Sam, knowing it would take two to subdue the eldest. The twins stayed glued on the couch, watching intensely.

Chad interrupted the argument, clearly not knowing his place. “Tara, come on. Don’t act like this. You know we can’t give you a weapon. You’re like, small,” he gently said, shrugging.

Mindy slapped her head, groaning. Both Carpenter sisters glare at Chad, watching as the boy shrinks in on himself.

“Chad. Stay the fuck out. And just because I’m short doesn’t mean shit. Kirby gets a weapon!” Tara half-yelled, her hands clenched at her side.

Kirby shrugged. “Special Agent Kirby gets a weapon for obvious reasons.”

Tara groaned, narrowing her eyes at the woman. “Seriously? You're the one who taught me how to load a gun, and you’re using that cop-out answer?”

“She WHAT?” Sam shouted, whipping around to face Kirby.

The woman held her hands up in defense. “Hey, she said you okay’d it!”

“Kirby!”

Sam ran her hands through her hair, gripping onto her scalp. She breathed deeply, trying to control her anger. Tara could tell she was digging into a nerve, and she wasn’t about to back down.

Breathing out, Sam spoke through clenched teeth. “No. I’m not doing this anymore. Talk a walk if you’re so pissed. Come back when you stop acting like a little kid.”

“I’m not stupid, Sam! I know how to handle a weapon. I’m twenty-two years old. Let me have a fucking chance. If he’s back- if Ghostface is back- I should have something,” Tara retorted, her nails digging into her palms.

“If you’re going to act like a child, you’re not getting a weapon. Go cool off. Now,” Sam barked, pointing at the door.

Her anger boiling over, Tara blew up. She marched towards her room but stopped, facing the group.

“Fuck you, Sam. Fuck all of you. None of you give a damn about my safety- it’s all about you. All of you left me behind at one point or another. Especially you, Sam. God. I don’t even know why I fucking try!” she yelled, taking in everybody’s wide-eyed gazes.

Nobody said anything, nobody defended. The twins turned back to face Sam, the other four adults turning away from Tara as if she were a petulant, whiny child not worth entertaining. Like she was a stupid kid with no worth. Suddenly, Tara felt seven years old again, begging to her parents, who would never give her the time of day no matter how much she cried.

Turning on her heel, Tara made her way to her room. She didn’t spend much time in this room, as she slept in Sam’s, but she still slammed the door hard enough for the minimal wall decorations to fall. She didn’t fucking care. If they wouldn’t listen to her, she wouldn’t play nice.

She kicked at the piles of clothes lying haphazardly on the ground and angrily wiped the hot tears of shame off her face. God. She was such a little kid. Even at twenty-two years old, nobody could take her seriously. She almost died multiple times because of this Ghostface clown.

Was she not yelling loud enough to be considered?

Slumping onto the ground, she put her head into her hands, crying a bit. She didn’t care if anyone heard. It’s not like they were coming for her anyway.

Her phone ringing in her pocket stopped her crying session, and without looking at the I.D., she answered.

“What do you want?” she said thickly, wiping her nose.

And there he was. That stupid voice modulator was alive and crackling in her ear. But instead of fear, all Tara could feel was smug rage. Of course, he would target her when she was the only one without a weapon. How poetic.

“Hello, Tara. You look beautiful today, so why are you crying? Say, I’ve got an idea. Let's say we play a game, yeah?”

Instead of being wise and hanging up, or better yet, alerting her family, she decided to play along. What did it matter? It’s not like they would listen to her anyway.

“Alright. I’m listening. What’s your game?”

She swore she could hear him smile through the mask. Good. At least someone wanted her company. Even if he wanted to hurt her, Tara was brilliant. She was cunning.

Tara would show them that she was worthy of carrying a weapon, of being involved. She would show them what happens when you push her too far.

I'm sick and tired of people acting like a ship has to be canon for it to be enjoyable!

No! It doesn't!

Sure, it might be an added bonus, but it's not the be all and end all of its enjoyability!

Please read below!!! vv

Chances are, if you go into it with the mind set "My ship has to be canon or else I will be angry, and anyone who disagrees is wrong", it's not going to be very fun for you or for anyone else in the fandom.

But if you go into it with the mindset "This ship is nice and I really think the characters should end up together, but I recognise that it might not become canon, and that's ok", then most likely it will be a lot more fun for you and anyone you interact with!

Also, the creators of whatever media your ship is from do not owe it to you to make the ship canon no matter how much evidence you have or how much chemistry you think the characters have, ok? They're just trying to tell a story, and getting angry with them is utterly pointless. At the end of the day, the plot is usually the most important aspect of any piece of media. I'd much rather have a satisfying ending to the plot than to see my ship become canon, wouldn't you agree?

Perhaps I'm biased since most of the media I consume is more focused on plot and characters/platonic relationships so there's next to no chance of any of my ships becoming canon, but that's ok!! I know that some ships mean a lot to some people, but I guarantee you that you will have more fun sharing theories and headcanons and fanart and fics or whatever with other people who enjoy the ship than you will ever have seeing the ship become canon.

And a lot of the time when a ship is made canon it's still disappointing because it didn't happen exactly how you expected or wanted it to happen. At the end of the day the characters' fates are up to the creators, so if you really don't like that a certain ship was/was not made canon, or if it was made canon in a way you didn't like, then why not try writing fanfiction? Or, better yet, why not try writing your own original story? That way literally everything is up to you!

I guess another thing I'm trying to say here is that fighting over ships is absolutely useless. It accomplishes nothing, and usually it's just a case of two people having different views on a certain character. But guess what? That's what's supposed to happen! It's fiction, which means none of the characters are real, which means everyone can interpret the characters and their actions differently! It's really interesting seeing everyone's different views and interpretations of the source media! And wouldn't it be kind of boring if everyone just had the exact same opinions on every character and ship?

Just because you believe a character has romantic feelings for another character, that doesn't mean that everyone else has to believe that too, and it doesn't matter if it's canon or not because it's your opinion.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, even if it contradicts your own.

To summarise:

A ship being enjoyable is not dependent on whether it's canon or not. Instead, it's totally up to you to make it as enjoyable as you can by interacting with others who ship it, or even by discussing it with people who have opposing views! And don't be upset if your ship isn't canon! :)

Also, don't start ship wars because they're stupid.

(I'd like to add that this isn't anti-any particular ship, this is a message for everyone)

ok what are your thoughts on mineru bc like,, bro I hate to say it but I never connected with her character at all. every part of her in the storyline felt forced, and her connection to zelda and the sages never felt authentic. I hate the eng voice acting like why does she talk like that 😭 her talking about draconification felt sooo forced like if she knew it was forbidden and wouldn't have helped zelda why did she bring it up at all, it was such a bad foreshadowing plot point. her entire quest confused me bc the whole first part has a very thunder/lightning theme so I thought her power would be related to that but it wasn't at all? I hated her stupid construct and did the entire quest except for the fight without using her construct. and then (spoilers for the end of totk) it's like her spirit power didn't even matter because her spirit left anyways, so literally what was the point. they tried to make her "dying" emotional and I was literally staring at the screen like 😐 I could care less

imo I think link should have gotten rauru's secret stone of light (bc where did his stone go?? I really thought rauru's stone would have made an appearance but it never did) and he could have been one of the sages instead of bringing mineru back. her whole concept was useless I'm sawryy 😭 but I'm curious if u felt the same way like are my opinions valid or did I just wildly misinterpret mineru 😟

I'm super late to answering this bc I didn't actually do the mineru quest until last night JFHDHFJJDJD but I completely get where you're coming from. when she was explaining draconfication I was like "okay this sounds kinda dorky and also that's exactly what's gonna happen isn't it" and lo and behold..

I just don't really.. get the point of her character. like she played a major role in what. one of the memories? like why is she here? I want to like her, I do, but I just don't understand why she's even here. part of me feels like she was kind of a last minute addition to the team bc they realized they needed another sage KFHDJFKKSKD I don't get why she's so much more important than the other ones.. just bc she's a zonai? the second I had to use her construct I was like okay.. so I'm definitely never going to be using this.

also... I don't really like her design, I'm sorry.. why does she look like that............

The power system of miraculous sucks

Today I wanted to talk about something that deeply annoys me in miraculous, and I know I'm not alone on this one. The power system, my feelings about this are all over the place so I'll try to organize it, you can leave your opinions in the commentsI would love see it, so y'all get ready to spend 10000 bucks in an the asylums bill cause we're gonna need it, and let's do it.

Unoriginality And Copying

Miraculous is extremely unoriginal with it's powers and here's why.

First, I don't think is wrong for any show to get power ideas from elsewhere, that isn't considered copying as long as you do your own thing with it. The problem is, with every new miraculous presented, the writers eventually runned out of ideas on what to do next. Which is something that would happen eventually, 20 miraculous, it was gonna happen, which is why they should have looked into it before making this decision.

we started to see the ideas ending in season three, this is where we got miraculouses like the monkey, a miraculous that can mess up people's power and has a staff, not only did it copy the Weapon from the black cat but it also is just a pretty useless power against anything that isn't magic.

And it goes on this too every hero of season three, their weapons are shit, their powers are either useless (snake, monkey, horse) or don't make sense (dragon,bunny) and this problem of the show copying itself just gets worst in season four, we have the tiger being a copy of cataclysm, the pig being one of the bee, the goat being a copy of the ladybug, ASTRUC, YOU'RE NOT A MINECRAFT YOUTUBER, STOP COPYING YOURSELF, and all their weapons are shit cause the miraculous crew can't get good toy looking weapons when even a 12 year old Steven universe fan can.

Way before in season two, the bee the fox and the turtle were so creative, There's this thing is animation which makes so that the friends of the main hero tend to have supportive powers instead of actual powers,

In miraculous season two it felt like all the miraculous could be the miraculous worn by the main characters, actually, they were even better than the main character's they had personality, were strong but not too much, the costumes were cool, so in season three astruc, the creator of miraculous, went back into the writing team, as the creator of the show he surely will bring us awesome miraculouses, right?

Useless miraculous

Miraculous has so many powers that are stupid it pains me, they have no reason to exist or are just overall the worst powers I've ever seen a superhero have, and more than half of them is caused by there having one miraculous that is better than it, as time went on the writers became tired of coming up with concepts for superheroes and just took the most basic ah power inspired by some of the stupid background character "personality" and made a miraculous, not caring if they would actually be useful, interesting, or that aren't a copy, what proves this is things like the dog miraculous, not only dog holders have the most terrible disgusting designs I've ever seen, but it's power is to throw a ball, and now you can teleport stuff to you, wanna know what other thing teleports stuff? THE HORSE MIRACULOUS.

Take the queen's jewelry for example, the bee miraculous has a nice design, a cool ahh power, A top that can be used like a slingshot, a kwami with a unique personality that completed their holders character, perfection.

Now that all the team miraculous is gonna be active at the same time soon or later people are gonna realize that some miraculouses are useless when there's a guy the same job but better.

the monkey is fucked if anything that doesn't have powers show up, the ox has invinsibility for 5 minutes which either, all villains that can teleport you somewhere (which is something miraculous loves doing) are now powerless, or the akuma could do a ancient technique called fighting without superpowers, throw a car at him and he dies. The dog, pig, tiger, and goat are there just for show when we have their much more powerful contraparts, the horse can teleport people, the bee makes it so you have no chance to "wake up" the cat can actually destroy stuff, and the ladybug who we will talk about it later don't you worry.

But remember that thing where the horse is better than the dog? it's also ruined cause it and the snake were ruined by the one thing worse than a useless superpower

Overpowered Miraculous

Ok, I know you all want to hear my thoughts on the bunny miraculous so let's get this out of the way, THIS MIRACULOUS IS ABSOLUTELY STUPID, IT'S THERE ONLY TO SELL TOYS, MAKE FAN SERVICE EPISODES THAT GO LITERALLY NOWHERE, AND TO FUCK UP THE TIMELINE OF A SHOW THAT ALREADY HAS A FUCKED UP TIMELINE, BUT NOT ONLY THAT, IT ALSO RUINS BOTH THE SNAKE AND HORSE MIRACULOUS CAUSE WITH THE GOD THAT IS FLUFFY CAN SHOW UP ANYWHERE YOU WANT AND YOU HAVE MORE THAN 5 MINUTES TO FUCK UP TIME.

AND DONT YOU FUCKING DARE TO TELL ME THAT MESSING WITH TIME CAN FUCK UP EVERYTHING AS WE CAN SEE IN CHAT BLANC AND TIME TAGGER WE SEE THAT THEY HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO FIX UP IF THEY DO SOME BULLSHIT, IT IS THE WORST MIRACULOUS, AND IS THERE JUST TO FUCK THINGS UP, JUST LIKE WHEN ASTRUC DESIDES TO WRITE AND EPISODE.

With my anger out of the way let's talk about it. The overpowered miraculous are few but they exist and annoy me and a lot of people.

Overpowered superheroes are not necessarily bad, we have great examples of overpowered superheroes, I'll talk more about it later but to do a good overpowered hero you need to have good writing, do you see the problem?

You have to make a hero/villain that is on the same level as the villain, otherwise it will look stupid when one of them loses, and in MLB it happens so much…

In miraculous we have things like the rooster miraculous, the miraculous of plot convince

"but aguinha you see, in destruction we see that the rooster isn't that powerful, he can't grand wishes or-

No, it is the miraculous of plot convince, it just has this rules when it needs to have this rules, at the same time it can't reveal a hero secret identity, it can grant you the power to travel through multiverses, so no, it doesn't have limits, it just has rules when the writers need it to.

And the Ladybug miraculous is so stupid, she has the literal power to create anything, magic or not, out of her imagination, but she doesn't, guess she's just lazy to search up more on her powers, and she's not only stupid cause she doesn't want to do anything with her powers, but that she gave up on the power that would make every single fight she can have with an akumatized end in one second, the eagle.

For those who don't know let me explain, imagine you are home and your mom tells you to do the dishes and leaves, you want to do the dishes but the holder of the eagle miraculous takes a feather (very original) and it flies into you, the holder can now say "I free you from your responsibilities" and now you won't do the dishes anymore, your mom then comes home and Beats the shit out of you, that's how this miraculous works.

If ladybug had two brain cells she would get this shit to herself and every time a akuma spears she would just go there, use a feather and say I release you from evil, the person gives up, the akuma is automatically purificated, everything is fine and the show fucking ends, but ladybug has -2 braincels so no, this show has to keep ongoing until either all the writers finally go to an asylum or all the remaining fans from themselves of a cliff.

This is why overpowered heroes are detrimental to your story. You have to think about which power to give to which character because otherwise shit like this is gonna happen, and your audience will point it out.

Again it's very possible to make a story about an overpowered hero be good, but it needs something that the writers didn't care much about.

Limitations

Limitation is something Every character needs even if they are made to be overpowered, and it is an important part of writing a character. overpowered or not, limitations are what makes a hero/villain be equals with their rival, Superman might be extremely powerful but Brainiac is nearly indestructible, it is what makes a fight fair, so how do they handle the superhero limitations in miraculous? Like they did it with their fucking asses, it's broken, lazy, and doesn't make sense.

But first let's see the limitations of the heroes.

The first one is the rule that after using their special power in 5 minutes they are gonna detransform they want it or not, which I honestly think is a pretty good way to keep the fights fair and interesting, they can't just spam cataclysm or lucky charm, BUT THEN ADULTS CAN USE IT AS MUCH AS THEY WANT AND MAKES IT LOOK FUCKING STUPID, cause it makes the choice of using teenagers look even more dumb, "oh but hawkmoth wouldn't be able to talk to them" I think that the akumas fighting in their style would be better but if that's the problem MAKE IT THAT HAWK MOTH DETRANSFORMS AND TRANSFORMS BACK LATER, it's stupid to make that hawk moth doesn't need to transform back cause not only the whole thing of detransforming in 5 minutes was because the kwamis got tired, but it seems more stupid why hawkmoth doesn't akumatized 9 people at once, but it gets worst, in season five the heroes """"""grow up"""""" and now the rule doesn't apply to them anymore, infinite cataclysm and infinite lucky charm, how is Lila supposed to fight them again? This shit is worse than recent Dragon Ball power levels, and I won't even talk about the thing that now the rule of "they will transform back they want or not'' can actually be broken by the holder, with no consequences cause in re-verse we see nothing but some cracks that don't even seem to hurt.

And do I have to say anything about the ladybug creation power? She can create anything, magic or not, a charm which can literally stop another kwamis power, but no let's not use it to try finding monarch.

Upgrades

I made my own category for upgrades cause I think they are the most stupid part of the show and I wanted to go more in detail about it than to just put it in the limitations, the upgrades in miraculous are stupid, and I mean extremely stupid.

In miraculous there are three types of upgrades, the potions, the permanent, and the fusions, so let's first talk about the potions first shall we?

I overall like the idea of the potions, you can get an upgrade by having you or your kwamis eating a potion, but you can't just use it every single fight because as fu said, those motions take multiple ingredients to brew, I think it's a good idea, the problem is that this concept wasn't introduced thinking about giving th heroes an upgrade to make their battles more interesting, it was introduced thinking about how many toys they could sell, and what proves this is how specific they are, ladybug but she has a space suit, ladybug but she is Elsa, ladybug but she's a Mermaid, ladybug fire edition, and there's still three more to go, those are way too specific to actually be useful, aqua bug for exemple, she's only used when the villain happens to be water themed, or they have to swim for some reason, not only it doesn't make sense, for literal minigods to have a water upgrade, not only it would be better to see the two idiots use their brains to try figure out a creative way to defeat the motherfucker of the week, BUT THEIR WEAPONS CAN MAKE THEM BREATH UNDERWATER, it's stupid, and I hope they don't introduce the other 4, cause the last upgrade we got was able to totally destroy the use of the horse miraculous, and I wish Marinette had never learn how to brew this things.

The permanent upgrades are somehow able to piss me of even more than the potions even only showing up two times in the show, the first one was with ladybug and her magical charms, if we forget how she made those, I was happy about their existence, no more reusing villains, just new designs with cool powers like a superhero show should be, of course it wasn't perfect, everyone was wondering why ladybug just didn't made a bunch of those and gave one to everyone in Paris because the writers forgot to flash out that they are made by the akuma dust, and had to say it on Twitter later, but even so, new villains, except not as shadow moth also got an upgrade in one episode with 0 buildup, WHAT? why would you ever do that? Actually I know why they did this, it's cause most cartons have a continuity director, but I think the one for miraculous took a vacation, and the writers forgot that Mr pigeon would later become Mr rat, and he now had a magical charm, so he couldn't be akumatized, just kidding it was to save money, so miraculous introduced a concept, just so in the same season, it became useless, but actually not cause in confrontation we find out that they can create a shield if a bunch of people help you. And I wanna throw myself off a bridge-

Now let's get to the bottom of the barrel, fusions, I'll make this one quick, fusions are in my opinion are in top 5 more stupid things miraculous ever presented, back in season one fusions were seen as a big deal, but as time went on they became jokes, first you can now fuse and not become an all powerful magical being, and that this was just for the black cat and ladybug, and already, why give unexpired people miraculous if you can just fuse? But then came kwami buster and evolution, so now you can use infinite miraculouses with 0 consequences cause we never see anyone going insane like fun said they would. Do I even have to say anything else? It's stupid, world breaking and

It's lazy writing, but really, that's exactly what miraculous is.

Conclusion

In conclusion, miraculous power system is a mess, and it's funny that it's a mess, in season 1-3 it was organized, not the best but still fun and enjoyable, but when the writers tried to add an actual plot to the show, when they tried to make the power system more complex, they fucked up everything, and they will keep on fucking everything up until the end of time, but that's all I wanted to say, this is already massive enought, if you got this far, thank you for reading and I'll see you in the next post

In your opinion, is there any meaning to TWDU's obsession with cutting people's left arm off? Do you think it could happen to Carol/Daryl or they already hit too close to home with Rick and Lydia?

Speaking of which, do you think they could simply forget it happened to Lydia/make it seem like she just imagined the moment in case she comes back for one of the spinoffs? Because the way they cut her arm off as an useless plot device and never dealt with it was just ridiculous (maybe it was a device to bring Lydia and Aaron closer together, which is also ridiculous because they were already heading organically to that direction). And in a deleted scene where Aaron and Carol were doing Lydia's bandages, Carol was soooo off, bordering indifference/coldness/annoyance (everything around this loss was weird lol). Have you ever seen this clip? Any thoughts?

All it means is that someone who has should not have creative input across the board falsely assumes we share their obsession with gratuitous violence. Carol and Daryl have plenty of (shared) emotional baggage to explore. Neither one of them needs to be maimed to further their story. That's obvious to a showrunner who really knows who Caryl are, but terrifying when their story is handed off to multiple EPs who don't care.

Lydia formed a strong connection with Daryl and Carol by the end of S10, so it would've been more "organic" to lean into that in S11 and position her as the kid Caryl were able to save. Cutting off her arm was a ridiculous plot device, I agree, and I hate it, but when something makes it into the canon of the show, that has to be acknowledged going forward even if it was a really, really, stupid decision. A good showrunner will know how to pay it off and/or redirect it in a much more satisfying way. A bad showrunner (or EPs who stick their noses where they don't belong) will either cause more damage trying to "fix" it or insult the audience's intelligence by pretending it never happened. Looking at you, S11 and S1 of le spinoff.

In the episode, we see Carol cleaning her hands while Aaron talks to Lydia. Carol looks like she's reflecting on everything going on. Both Lydia and Judith were hurt, which I imagine would bring up painful memories about losing Sophia. If the deleted scene between Carol and Lydia was released, you'll have to point me in the right direction, so I can watch it. I would expect something like that to be heartfelt. The season as a whole was soooo off because too many important emotional beats were missing.

Dear disney, if you want to know what your old movies are actually about instead of simply saying the women in them are useless, perhaps read this post here:

Snow White: Disney thinks Snow White is about a woman who needs a prince to come save her. Untrue. The prince doesn't even come into the picture properly until the end. Snow White, in the old Disney film, is actually about a girl in witness protection. She's hiding from a woman who wants to kill her. She's making smart decisions by lying low and making friends with people who the queen certainly won't imagine her step daughter associating with- namely because she's supposed to be a princess and she's also supposed to be dead until the huntsman messes up. She's not useless. She's surviving. You don't have to girl boss her up because she doesn't need to be.

Cinderella: disney also thinks this movie is about a woman being saved by a prince. I would like to remind Disney that the prince doesn't do shit. Cinderella is the one who goes to the ball. Yes, with help, but she is the one who decides to go. she is the one who decides to defy her abuser to go to a prince who is offering her a way out of her horrible home life. Cinderella gets out of the room with help, but Cinderella is the one who decides to go. She doesn't need girl bossing up.

Sleeping Beauty: not much to say here. Sometimes it's okay to be saved by a prince. I still love this film. I love Aurora and how she likes singing and dancing and wandering in the woods because some girls just be like that disney. They don't all need ambition.

The little Mermaid: disney thinks she needs girl bossing up because a prince saves her. In reality, Ariel of her own volition, has the ambition to go above the water. it's not about a prince, she wanted to go before she saw him, but the prince is a bonus too. Plus, he's literally the only way she can stay above water, so yeah, I would turn on the charm too. Ariel is already strong willed and independent. Her voice being taken away doesn't take away from that. If anything, it shows her determination.

Beauty and the Beast: belle doesn't need girl bossed up. She's educated. She's strong willed. She's compassionate enough to see the man beneath the beast and not change him, but remind him of his own humanity. The message here is that there is always more than what the surface shows us.

Aladdin: Jasmine doesn't need saving. They don't even get married in the first film. Jasmine is strong willed, she has a mind of her own and while she is spoiled and doesn't realise what life is like beyond the palace at least she's willing to learn. Her father listens to her. He does. He just wants to protect her. Aladdin in this movie is saving himself, not Jasmine. In this movie Jasmine is already a good character, she doesn't need more adding to her.

Mulan: I don't even need to say anything about Mulan. Mulan is literally a story about self identity and putting your family above yourself. It has only a little to do with gender politics in my opinion. More in the way that being a girl is the main problem. I would say that mulan could have been a bird transformed human and you still would get around the same movie. It's about the self, not the gender. Mulan is finding herself finding the person on the inside also on the outside, finding her confidence and her will to do whatever she needs to in order to help those around her, in the end, being a girl is inconsequential to her. So making the entire film about her being a girl and not her finding her dragon guardian inside of herself was a stupid move. Also the magic stuff was weird.

Old movies don't need feminist agendas. They're about women so they're already feminist movies. The only thing disney is doing is ruining good movies with horrible extras and taking away what made them good to begin with. They don't even understand the structure anymore. The magic is gone. The characters aren't driven like they were in their heyday and it's sad.

Disney is a monster.

Hey, authorraville here. I know I made an update about my schedule being tight and all but somehow I feel guilty for not posting anything so I decided to continue some doodle on my notes.

Notes For you: this is not finish yet, I don't have any idea on how to continuing this.

I'd be editing this later since I'm not really in a good state. So I apologize if there's some errors.

Mirror of negativity.

It was just a simple fight that start with an opinion. How did everything shattered in just a few seconds?

Lucifer scoffs at the second born, gazing into his deep blue eyes, who's somehow not afraid to look straight into his crimson red eyes. " Take back your words Lucifer. " As he slam down the table.

" Do you seriously think your threat will work on me ? " he huffs as he gather all the documents that fall during the slammed. Aren't he the one who supposed to be mad? The one who caused the trouble is mammon not him so what gives him the right to be mad?

" And make sure to watch your manners mammon. " mammon gritted his teeth and walk out of Lucifer's room. The older can't help but sigh, mammon can be childish. Utterly useless, and irresponsibles. If only his little brother of his change his attitude and act like his age once, maybe his life would be easier.

He sat down and think of the argument all over again, maybe he really did went to far this time. He sighed and continue signing all the documents that was left untouched.

Meanwhile mammon on the other side, locking his room to have some time alone was enough to comfort him, himself. He does not expect Lucifer to come and comfort him like he used to . But sometimes a little comfort would be nice.

While he drop himself on his bed, a strike of pain sting his back. He can't help but kneel down on the cold floor. When did this happened? Did the scars opened again? He sigh as he get the medicine and Bandages to treat himself, though it seems kinda impossible at the moment.

He can't help but feel worsen. Does life hates him or what? Why does everything's going downhill today? Not only does the witches made him done some errands, he also fought with his brothers, now he fought with Lucifer and the scars on his back opened themselves.

He let out a soft sigh as he stare at his reflection on the mirror. he picked out a blue marker and start writing down a positive words to cheer himself up. He try to gives out his best smile but keep ended up with his usual vacant face.

The mirror was filled with a lot of positive words that even he himself never heard someone says it to him over centuries.

" you're worthy " " it's not your fault " " you deserved to live " and such. He look at them as he wonder, when did everything changed? When did they become so distant? Maybe it is his fault that his family was broken. if he wasn't stupid maybe he can be a brother that can be proud of. Maybe If he learn some self control everyone would be nice to him. Maybe Lucifer would be proud of him?

He take a piece of clothing who appear to be unneeded and wipe down all the positive words that was written a while ago. He take out his red marker and start writing again. This time he hid the mirror below his bed and go straight to his bathroom leaving his empty room behind.

when the morning arrives everyone expected the second born to be wild or complaining like any other day. Good morning was wished by each brothers yet they can't seem to find the second born making his appearance.

A small voice could be heard from the second born room who was opened a second after. They were about to be mad because of his late appearance but quiet down after hearing another voice coming from his phone.

When Beelzebub was about to ask for mammon's food, mammon was already pushing his plate to Beelzebub and gives him a soft gentle smile. He quickly excuse himself out of the house while calling the unknown guy. He was left speechless but still eat the food that was given by the second born.

Lucifer was pissed, he knows that they fought the other night but does he really need to skip his breakfast? What if he get stomachaches ?! he sigh as he tells the other to start eating their breakfast.

They expected to be greet by their older brother at rad atleast but to their surprised the second born was no where to be seen. They was slowly getting pissed because couldn't he atleast say something to them during breakfast?!

The day started normal but when dinner come the second born seems busier than ever. He couldn't even eat dinner with them now. Yet he always shows them his soft unusual smile so they couldn't do anything about it. Whenever they sees that freaky smile a pang of guilt suddenly hit them which was never happened in their lifetime.

They thought it will end after one or two days yet it has been 3 weeks since mammon eat together, on the same table, as them. Not just that, he also out all of the time, whenever he came home they were all probably asleep or busy. Shouldn't he be spending time with his brothers even for a bit? How busy can his work be anyways.

They all would still be patient until they can't. They waited for the second born to come home, no matter how late it is. Except for belphegor who was sleeping soundlessly and keep waking up every hour just to check on the situation.

The front door was opened and closed and they could see the second born looking at them surprised.

" What's up ? " That words blow Satan's wrath.

" What's up ?! You've been avoiding us for 3 weeks and not even bother to eat with us ! Not just that you also avoid sitting on the usual spot in the class which is beside me ! "

It's still a great thing that he didn't turn into his demon form or the front room would be destroyed by his wrath.

" Yeah not just that you've been avoiding us all day in rad and not even bother to approach us when you saw us !! " If anything Asmodeus would want to say some more but he also knew that his other brothers had something to say as well.

" Yeah and I also haven't seen you eating anything for days now..and I'm not surprised if you haven't gotten any sleep either. " It would be a lie to say that they don't care about mammon. They're worried and concerned about their brother well being as well as others.

The two oldest brothers stayed quiet watching the second born watching them ranting their feelings out. Mammon let out a soft sigh and smile. Again, with that unusual smile who always comforted them during hard time.

" Haha I'm sorry I was busy. " Mammon tries so hard to not meet any of his brother gaze. If anything he would be glad if he can be staring at the floor all day.

" Is that all you gotta say ? " It was unusual to see his favorite brother in this state, he could see something is wrong. Yet he couldn't bring himself to speak it up.

Mammon tense up after hearing Lucifer voice. " I'm..sorry. " he said finally looking at them. The apologize sounds so sincere that they can't bring themselves to speak. " I should've approach you first. I'm sorry. " He said as he tries his best to stay calm.

" It won't happen again, I'm sorry. " The sorry's was too much. They know the second born also has pride in himself so what made this cocky man become like this? When things get quiet, mammon finally excuses himself to his room.

" Damn I never thought I'd really be receiving a sorry from him.." the third born finally breaking the silence. " I was surprised too. " It was unusual for sure. They all finally wondered, what happened during those weeks when he was not with them?

Something must've happened to make him like this and they going to find out no matter what.

When the morning comes again they could finally see mammon on the table, eating his food like usual. What's unusual is that he's too quiet. Literally too quiet. They all try to have an interesting conversation that the second born maybe would like but none of them seemed to impressed him. The only thing he does is that look at them with his vacant look. Not to mention the oldest also was very quiet, although he was always quiet this time he seemed stressed? Is that how we can put it?

When they arrived at rad, mammon waves them goodbye as he head to his own class leaving his younger brothers behind. As they was about to go to their class, they was pulled aside by Simeon.

" What the heck Simeon-! " Simeon apologize for the surprised appearance but he was also in a hurry so all he could give them was a piece of paper.

" What ? " And just like that Simeon walked away. " What in the hell just happened. " Satan was too flabbergasted by the random event that just happened. " Hey shouldn't we open that paper " Beelzebub can't help but being curious about the information on the paper. As Satan open the paper he could see an address that was written by the angel.

" Hey should we ditch class for this ? It seems fun. " For the first time they see the avatar of sloth making a step to be productive. " But you need to carry me though. " Nevermind.

After taking some time, they decided to go after they're done with their class to avoid Lucifer temper. And when they finally done with rad, they headed to the address location. All they could see is a bungalow that seemed to be owned by someone.

" Why did he gave us this ? " Asmodeus sigh as he was about to go back and was dragged back by Satan. " Maybe this could give us some hint to something ! " There it goes his detective mode on.

" Yeah I'd say we break in. " Belphegor and Satan look at each other as they smirked. " Yeah let's do that. " As they was about to break in they were interrupt by someone. " No trespassing would be highly against the law. " To their surprised they saw Lucifer walking towards them followed by leviathan who seemed to be dragged out by the oldest.

" Why are YOU here "

" same as you, Simeon gave me this as well."

" Without explanations? "

" Without explanations. "

" I see. "

" Exactly. "

The short conversation ended within a second. " But the difference is that I have the key. " they were all curious about this mysterious house that Simeon had to give this personally to them without any explanations at that.

Lucifer unlock the front door as they enter the bungalow. as they enter it they could smell something familiar. Something that only their brother would used. Mammon's perfume.

" Wait does that means this is mammon's house? " Leviathan was completely stunned by the smell itself rather than the fact that it is mammon's house. The smell is mixed with something. They could smell it.

" Hey what's with all these bandages? " So the other smell is blood. Wait blood? Isn't this mammon's house? they were ready to go on full panic mode if they saw something they shouldn't.

They were lead on a room that full of mirror. On the left side they could see words written by a blue pen marker on it and on the other side they could see something they wished they didn't.

They wandered around the room reading each words that was written on the mirrors. While leviathan and Asmodeus reading the positive part the others decide to read the other part.

" hey.. you should see this.. " it was unusual for Satan to sound vulnerable yet here he is sounds so weak and was shocked by the second born thoughts.

" Today 22/7 Satan lash his wrath at me woah his wrath was really no joke, it even leaves some scratch behind my back. " Satan flinched after seeing himself being mentioned on one of these thoughts. " Today, 23/7 I kinda start to feel lonely, why does they start to separate themselves or even distancing themselves from their own family? Man I wish I could go back time just to feel that feeling again haha. "

they could feel their heart throbbing. It's true that they started to separate themselves from each, like Asmodeus with Satan. The twin was like usual, they just keep things between themselves. While leviathan and Lucifer choose to be alone. They never realized it themselves until mammon burst at them that day.

" today, 24/7 I fought with Lucifer. It wasn't supposed to be that serious. Maybe. I don't know, what am I supposed to do? Should I apologize? I probably should. But would he forgives me? Nah he probably wouldn't, why would he bat an eye on me anyways. I should really start living quietly this time. " They started to see the root of mammon sudden changes.

" Today 25/7 the scars that I got from the past started to opened while I was working. I had to take a day off because of it. How frustrating, why am I so useless at this. "

" why does he keep degrading himself.." Asmodeus would love to erase all these thoughts that mammon seems to hide from them.

" hey..what the hell happened- "

" Today 27/7 my body started to weakened I don't know why..it's probably because I'm weak. I don't know, how can I stop being useless when I'm this weak. I hate this so much I swear. "

" his body started to what?.." leviathan can't believe on what he just read. How can someone as strong as mammon get weakened? isn't he supposed to be fine?

Lucifer was shocked, he knew he had a bad feelings ever since they fought. They haven't even talk ever since and now he felt a wave of guilt slap him over with.

" Today 28/7 They seemed to be upset about something..I don't know, maybe if I apologize they'll forgive me. but they doesn't seem to happy after I apologize though maybe I'm in the wrong this time. "

They can't believe, honestly they can't believe that mammon out of all people is having these thoughts. Why does it full of negatives rather than positive. Out of them, he was the most positive. Yet they just discovered another secret that he kept under the cover.

" how can he even think it's his fault..he was not supposed to be thinking like this. " Asmodeus turn his head to the right not wanting to read more just to see another different thoughts.

" maybe I should really kill myself. I've heard enough saying how everyone wanted me to go yet why am I here? What am I supposed to do here? I'm sorry. "

Stop. stop thinking about this, I beg you mammon. Asmodeus can't help but kneel down on the floor ashamed to even look at himself on the mirror. For the first time he felt ashamed of himself. He shouldn't have said that. He should've never thought of that in the first place.

" today I spent time with myself again. It was lovely to see the rain falls. I discovered a pretty empty place who seemed to be abandoned by people. But it was pretty, I wish when I die I can die in a beautiful place like this. "

He hold his chest as his heart started to sting. What makes his lovely baby brother to be thinking like this? Is it him? Is it his fault? He's sorry. For the first time, the only thing he wanted to do when he meet mammon is to assure him that all he ever wanted is for him to be there. Atleast be there for them.

" hey I found a beautiful beach again by myself, oh I hope I could go to this place with them. but I can't be greedy can I? Im sorry for being such a bad brother. I'm sorry I'm so sorry. "

Beelzebub tries to erase the thoughts yet nothing fall off. Why doesn't it go away? All he could wish is for his family to be happy yet why doesn't he noticed when his family started to fall apart? Then he remembered the time where mammon wanted to hanging out with him but he gave him an excuse saying that he have plans with belphegor. Now he started to regret it. Why? Why did he do that? The one who supposed to be the bad one is him not mammon.

" I saw some shooting stars in human realm today! It's beautiful haha. It reminds me when the twin used to like watching these. Especially belphegor. How adorable were that moment was. I wondered if he still like it till now..even if I bring him here surely he would say I'm wasting my time here. Haha. "

The answer is yes, he love stars, any kind so mammon take him there. He doesn't care anymore all he ever wanted is that warm embrace mammon gave him when they were still an angel. He doesn't realized how much of mammon affection that he have pushed away all these time.

" I wish Levi would loosen up a little when he was with me.. I guess it's my fault for not paying his money back.. geez just how bad I am to realize this now. I should probably pay my debt now and stop being such a hassle to everyone and be probably will be happier too."

Without realizing it, a single tear dropped from his eyes. He does know that words hurt, words kill yet why couldn't he stop himself from cursing towards mammon out of people? He feels guilty yes? who wouldn't be to be honest. From this moment he'd swear if anything happens to mammon he will take the blame.

As they all feel guilty of their own action, they take a step out of mammon's property. He probably wouldn't like them sneaking around his own very nest, he probably will hate them if he knew it.

They went home around 9-10 pm or so and saw mammon on the sofa, sleeping peacefully. Did he perhaps waited for them to come back? A tear drop from Asmodeus face as he gently brush himself on mammon's arm. If anything he'd want to be comforted by him the most but he also doesn't want to see mammon's awake from his dreams.

" We should move him to bed. " The eldest finally spoke as he gently lift mammon's up to move him from bed. To his surprised he saw a tears fall down from his beloved baby brother cheek. He gently wipes them as he wishes him goodnight. He wished he'd done this sooner instead of always waking him up to punish him or leave him there just because he has any other things that's more ' important '.

After he closes the door, the one who were sleeping slowly opened his eyes with a disbelief huff coming out from his mouth. What the hell just happened? Everything was fine yesterday, not to mention he have been away from them intentionally avoiding them to make himself blend with the background. Do why are they suddenly being like this? Did he do something wrong?

A Useless Date

Rating:G Pairing: Gen (Lucifer & Asmo) Word count: 2.6k Lucifer wasn’t sure how he ended up here. He replayed the scene again and again in his head, and yet he still came up with nothing.

Read it on Ao3! @aggressivelyarospec

took this week as an excuse to finish this fic about lucifer <3 i hope you enjoy it!

Lucifer wasn’t sure how he ended up here. He replayed the scene again and again in his head, and yet he still came up with nothing. How the hell had he been convinced to leave his office, and head down to Ristorante Six? For a blind date nonetheless? 

Lucifer hated how Asmodeus could get away with just about anything. If he used his charm at the right moment, he could have the whole underworld wrapped around his finger. Sadly, Lucifer was no exception to this. No matter how much the eldest loved to preen himself on his ability to say “no” and “leave me alone, Asmo” towards his attention-craving brother, there were at times, unfortunately, when Lucifer fell into Asmodeus’s spell. And this was definitely one of those times. It was his own fault though, he admitted to that. It was his own fault for lowering his guard, believing that Asmodeus would know better to waste his time. Why did he believe it was any different?

Asmodeus had claimed that Lucifer doesn’t know how to wind down. Lucifer had argued that he did, in fact, know how to get into a reposeful state, it was just that Asmodeus’ ways differed widely from Lucifer’s, and it was him who had weird methods of de-stressing. Asmodeus had responded with a “no, you”, a phrase taught by Leviathan, which had become the absolute argument ender for those who resided in the House of Lamentation. Lucifer hated it with every fiber of his darkened soul, overwhelmingly because he had no way to fight back against a solid “no, you”.

Asmodeus had said that Lucifer needed someone to unwind with, instead of, quote, “being all broody and alone like some hermit weirdo”. Lucifer did not think he was like Leviathan in any way, but maybe Asmodeus did have somewhat of a point. Enjoying cursed vinyls and haunted pieces of art could only be enjoyable for so long without someone to bounce ideas off of. And it wasn’t like his brothers would be willing to indulge with him–not that he would want them to, they all had horrible opinions. Barbatos was someone he was willing to spend time with, but he understood that the butler was often busy with work, much like Lucifer himself. And so, with the stupid idea of letting Asmodeus continue to talk, Lucifer had quieted down.

Then his younger brother spoke of meeting someone–a demon that Lucifer has never even met before–for a date. A date, as in an attempt for a romantic relationship. For “funsies.” Lucifer detested the idea of hanging out and spending his de-stressing time with someone he didn’t know, much less date them. Lucifer had declined, with a statement of how idiotic it was, and how there was no way he would do it. Asmodeus had whined that Lucifer didn’t know how to have fun, that he was ruining everything, and that he already sorta set up the blind date and they were going to be waiting for Lucifer to show up, only to be stood up by him. And was Lucifer really fine with letting that happen?

“Yes Asmodeus. Yes I am.”

Asmodeus had stomped his foot and puffed out his cheeks into a pout. And then Lucifer suddenly ended up on his way to the restaurant, with his brother giving his thanks. How he  had gotten from point a to b, he’d never know. But what he did know was that Asmodeus was in one hell of a punishment for charming him into this.

And so now Lucifer found himself at a table at Ristorante Six. Table set with bread appetizers and a bottle of their finest wine, Lucifer waited with an empty seat in front of him. He knew that he should be patient, that he shouldn’t be angry with the person, but also the half bottle of wine he had drank while waiting told him to fuck it all, that he can feel whatever the hell he wants to feel.

In all honesty, she hadn’t arrived all that late. She sat down with a small smile only a few minutes after Lucifer had. “I assume you’re my date, then?” she asked. “I mean…Lucifer? As my blind date? I guess I should’ve expected that from Asmo though…” She trailed into a polite, yet nervous laugh. 

She was cute enough, Lucifer decided. Short, bobbed hair and square glasses that she pushed back up again and again, as she was always looking down at the table. Timid, but not too much where she couldn’t voice her own opinion. She had an appreciation for the arts, so it wasn’t like she was a total waste of time. Lucifer got to indulge himself a bit, both in demonus and in discussion of good art. She was interested specifically in music, and Lucifer was happy enough to admit that she had impeccable taste. In every aspect, she would be considered as Lucifer’s “type.”

And so, Lucifer was fine with dubbing her as a friend, and making his feelings clear. She was visibly disappointed by this, and Lucifer didn’t offer her any comforting words or emotions. He paid for their dinner, gave her a farewell of “having a nice evening,” and left. Lucifer had to give credit where credit was due, though–Asmodeus had set up a good date. If anything about him was different, he could see himself pairing off well with the young lady.

The only problem was that Lucifer had no interest in romantic relationships.

Not that he expected his brother to know. No, Lucifer was an extremely private demon, and he would never tell any of his brothers sensitive information like that. Especially since there really wasn’t a reason to say something. It was his own matter to handle, his aromanticism, and no one else's. He had done extensive research during his own time, and Lucifer kept it close to his darkened heart. So perhaps it was his own fault that he led Asmodeus to thinking that he needed a date in order to be happy; he had never informed him or the rest about his orientation because he simply did not see a reason to. 

Hm. Perhaps he should say something. Lucifer knew his brother would be disappointed in this blind date going nowhere, so maybe it would be better if he knew why it never would, despite all his mischief of trying to get Lucifer out into the dating scene.

Lucifer could only give a sigh of relief when he arrived back at his study with no casualties. Both Leviathan and Mammon’s presence was quiet–arguably a bad thing, even more so for the latter–and he could hear the Anti-Lucifer League scheming in the library, which meant dealing with pranks that were a nuisance down the line, and not now, in the present. Which meant he could let himself finally properly unwind, which involved a good bottle of demonus, and a long book to read.

It wasn’t long until Asmodeus knocked on the door and let himself in. If Lucifer knew better, he would’ve told his brother to go to bed, it’s too late in the night to deal with him. But he bit his tongue as Asmodeus clasped his hands together in eagerness, eyes full of anticipation and giddiness.

“Well? How did it go?” he asked, hopping onto the desk. His body ended up shoving papers off to the side, a few slipping off onto the ground. Lucifer sighed, letting his shoulders sag as the sound of flittering paper filled the room.

“It was fine,” he answered, pouring himself a tall glass of the alcohol. “She was good.”

Asmodeus leaned in, far too close for comfort. “Aaaand?” he asked, hopeful for more.

“And we left as friends.”

“What!?” Asmodeus squawked, then was quick to cover his mouth with his hands. He quickly uncovered them and loudly whispered, “as friends!?” back at Lucifer.

“Yes Asmo,” Lucifer sighed, “we left as friends. Maybe not even that; she was kind, but I don’t really have plans of seeing her again. Is it really that big of a deal?”

“Of course it is!” Asmodeus whined. “I was sure you too would hit it off! You guys would’ve been such a cute couple, too–I could see it happening!”

“I’m sure you could,” Lucifer said. He leaned forward to rest his forearms on the desk. “Asmodeus. I really should-”

“What was wrong with her? Too timid? I figured she would be, you like ones who can assert their dominance, but it’s what made her charming! That poor dear was just so excited about the idea of a blind date, too.” He sighed, swinging his leg back and forth, despite his shoe clacking against the front of the desk as he did so. “At least tell me you let her down easy.”

Lucifer blinked, trying to remember if he did. He hoped so. Asmodeus groaned, burying his head into his hands. “I cannot believe you, Lucifer!”

“It was never going to work, Asmodeus,” he said, “despite how much you wanted it to. I’m perfectly fine with where I am right now.”

“What, being alone?” Asmodeus said, a hint of agitation in his voice, making Lucifer narrow his eyes. “Staying in this quiet and dreary room all day and night?” He leaned towards the older brother, and Lucifer did his best to keep his anger in check. “You need to find someone, Lucifer! What if–what if people keep bugging you about it? Because you can’t just have no one, that’s not how it works!”

“Asmodeus.” The fifth-born paused, then leaned back. As much as Lucifer would have loved to chew him out, to snap at him to leave and fester in the anger that started to build from his brother’s words, he could recognize Asmodeus’ look, one that was filled with desperation and sadness-fueled anger. He sighed. “At least let me explain myself.” If he didn’t get it then, then Lucifer was fine with kicking him out.

“Fine,” Asmodeus said, crossing his legs and arms in a huff. “I guess you can,” he said, as if he was in control of this conversation. Lucifer drummed his fingers on the desk in thought, trying to find the right words so that Asmodeus would understand–if he could understand.

“This isn’t something I’m keen on sharing,” he started with, “and I would appreciate it if you kept it to yourself.” Asmodeus frowned, but nodded. Lucifer continued to drum his fingers.

“...How does that one saying go?” he asked aloud, unsure of where to start. “‘I swing for the other team?’”

Asmodeus stared, almost looking gobsmacked. “I–I believe it’s ‘batting for the other team’; or ‘swinging the other way.’” His eyes widened. “Wait, are you telling me you’re gay? Because I always thought you didn’t care! That makes so much sense!”

Lucifer frowned. “I–no, Asmodeus; let me finish. Yes, I don’t care, but not in the way you think. It’s more like I refuse to bat for any team. In fact, I hate baseball, and I refuse to take part in it. I do not care for either team, and I’d rather die a gruesome death than swing for them.”

Asmodeus stared at him, mouth slightly agape. He stayed silent, closing his mouth, opening it again to speak, only to close it once more. Lucifer sighed and shook his head. “I don’t know why I tried to explain it to you,” he said. “It doesn’t matter either way–it isn’t your problem.” He didn’t expect Asmodeus to understand; he didn’t expect anyone to understand, and he had accepted that. 

But Asmodeus still gaped at him, until he asked in a whisper, “you’re aromantic?”

Lucifer found himself a bit surprised. “I don’t care for labels,” he answered, careful to avoid answering. The truth was, while he didn’t care for them–not entirely–he did find one that made him smile, because the idea of calling himself heartless, and not by demons who hated him, felt nice. “But…yes, I am.”

What happened next was a blur of pink, as Asmodeus let out a loud squeal that borderlined a sob and Lucifer leaned back, astounded by what was happening. Asmodeus, from across the table, leaned over to wrap his arms around Lucifer’s neck into a tight hug. The large, pink sweater that the younger wore was itchy against Lucifer’s skin, but decided to stay quiet.

“You’re aromantic?” he asked again, loud in the first-born’s ear to make him wince. Asmodeus’ voice wavered as he continued, “why didn’t you tell me?” 

“Because I didn’t think it was important,” he said, voice low. “I didn’t think you’d care this much about something so trivial.”

“You idiot,” he sniffled, “I’m aromantic too!”

Huh? “What?”

“Why didn’t you say anything? If you did, I–I should have known! I deserved to know!” He pushed himself off of Lucifer, and moved to hug himself tightly. “I would have been so much happier if I had known. To know one of my other brothers was aro, too…? I always thought that, I don’t know, it was weird for me to feel like this! Which yeah, is dumb of me to think so, but–I don’t know!” He gripped his hair in frustration. “Do you know how happy I would have been had I known? If I knew that you, or any of my other brothers would understand? I thought I was alone in this!” Tears started to spill now, and Lucifer cringed as he watched it mix with his brother’s mascara. 

“I’m sorry,” he tried. “I hadn’t realized this meant that much to you.” 

“You should have told me earlier,” Asmodeus continued, doing his best to stifle sobs. “It would have at least made it easier, not being so alone.”

“You’re right,” Lucifer admitted. He hated opening himself up, even with his brothers. But he hadn’t realized how much it meant to them when he did. “I’m sorry that you felt alone for so long; I promise that you aren’t.”

Asmodeus nodded at that, and kept quiet for a short few moments. He then asked, “how long have you known?”

Lucifer took a few seconds to consider it. “Ever since my creation, I believe.”

“Oh.” Asmodeus shifted. “I’ve known a few years after we fell. Becoming the Avatar of Lust helped me realize, I think.”

“Good,” Lucifer said with a nod. “I am happy for you. I’m sorry I never told you.”

“It’s fine, I guess,” Asmodeus replied, and gently wiped his eyes. “It just means a lot to me, I guess.”

He nodded. In a weird way, Lucifer was happy too, after learning that his brother was the same as him. Well, maybe not weird, but unexpected. Lucifer never would have thought Asmodeus would share the same label as him. He internally smiled, just a bit, at the idea of having someone understand him. It was a nice feeling.

“So!” Asmodeus clasped his hands together into a pleading motion, eyes now shining with hope and pleading looks, substituting the previous tears that welled and threatened to fall. “How about we go out tomorrow for brother bonding time?” 

“Asmo…”

“Please? Come on, how long has it been since I got to spend time with my favorite older brother?” Lucifer gave him a blank stare, and Asmodeus met him with the same pleading look. He scolded himself for always letting Asmodeus get away with things.

“Fine,” Lucifer answered, and Asmo lit up at the answer, “I’ll go. But only this one time; I still have work I need to catch up on.”

“Of course!” his brother chirped. “It’s a date then!” He winked, and Lucifer shook his head, though couldn’t keep the smirk of amusement off his face.

A date, then.
