Okay, as I have mentioned, I'm Ace AF. And you know that plot line in kids cartoons where the alien or foreign Warrior Royalty just sort of *violently kicks down door in full armor* "We Will Marry."? I?? Always said:
"Sure!" (#OhThankFUCK!)
Like what do you mean "No"? The powerful, attractive, monarch that is very into you has travel a great distance JUST to marry you! Now you don't have to date! They seem nice! You can skip the whole "trying to find a life partner" awkwardness.
So, Sudden New Fiancee(tm) how we doing this? Blended customs? Two weddings? One in your peoples traditions, one in mine? Should we invite your family? Tell me more about yourself.
God, this solves just... SO MUCH for me? No having to make small talk. No "do they like me?" Or "am I reading the signs here right?" No failed dates! It's positively ideal! AND they announced why they were qualified, in a VERY impressive show of power and prestige, when they arrived! Good lineage AND accomplished!! Very nice.
Don't get why everyone's so upset.
Sure the "we leave at once" thing that usually follows would have to be discussed, but that's what you DO as spouses. Really guys, it's like you think I'm incapable of common sense here.
And you know who probably agrees with me? Damian Wayne.
Hell is other people, INDEED. You expect him to just... randomly go up to people and try Courting them? What do you MEAN it's "creepy" to compile portfolios on eligible individuals of worthy bloodlines? How ELSE is he supposed to know if they are worth attempting to talk too?!
There are BILLIONS of humans on this gods forsaken rock, Richard! Is he supposed to just GUESS? Gamble and hope for LUCK? This is a MARRIAGE not a "best friends club"!
Then? Danny showes up.
Gotham heard her baby talking. Heard her KING being harassed by clearly plotting Observants and power hungry ghosts MANY times his age. Connected some dots. Formed themselves a new OTP.
Danny says "Fuck It". Worst he can say is No. According to Gotham, he is neither Shy not the meek obedient sort. Is in fact, VERY stabby. So if he's not interested he'll no doubt be BRUTALLY clear about that.
So? Danny gets Fright Knight. Go get him a horse. Someone fetch Cujo some armor. He's been told the guy like weapons and animals.
TIME TO BE IMPRESSIVE.
He goes FULL Regalia. Armor of solid night sky. Cape of frost and stardust. Crown like crack in reality itself, through which the cosmos gleam and shift. He gets a horse from the far frozen. They're wooly and carnivorous. Gets THE most impressive sword he can find to wear.
It's gonna be a gift, since he doesn't need it.
He does the whole "rend the skies open" thing. Fan fair and knights. Every title he's ever been given, no matter how embarrassing he find them in reality. And announces his intentions. Declares that ONLY Damian Wayne, aka. Robin, is WORTHY to Marry Him. And (in the traditional Ghost proposal of "either accept or tell me to fuck off" /w violence) Demands Damian accept his offer of Marriage.
Right there.
IN THE WATCHTOWER.
In front of EVERYBODY. And yes, ESPECIALLY the Bats. Who are making glitching, vaguely threatening DEMONIC NOISES. Because? You... you THREATEN the BABY? Death. Ten thousand years DEATH.
People are :O ing and backing away from the visible heatwave of unadulterated FURY being put off by Batman. Danny is nano-second from every bone his ANCESTORS had being reduced to a fine paste.
Then? Damian consider him... considers the sword being thrust in his direction, still held aloft in a steady and armored hand... contemplates those titles for a second...
And goes: "Acceptable. Very well, but I have demands."
N..... Nani the FUCK? Says local Bat-Dad. No??? You are NOT GETTING MARRIED.
Try to stop him. He very obviously IS, according to Damian, the man brought him a kick ass sword and has a giant green dog. Is the king of an ENTIRE REALITY. Yes, he realizes he probably COULD do better... but frankly? This one's cute. But if it upset you so... extended engagement. There. Happy?
NO! Because the JLA Dark are LOSING THEIR SHIT. Damian is still UNDERAGE. We don't even know how OLD this being is! NO MARRIAGE.
Damian is unimpressed. A whole six months? That he's likely already LIVED thanks to various timeloops, temporal shenanigans, and reality warping bits of fuckery? You're reaching.
Just? Marriage Meet Cute.

Hello! I hope you're doing well 🥰
If the requests are open could you do some headcanons for Trevor, Sypha and Alucard with a court jester S/O? (They may be currently courtless). They're fun and snarky and they love their partners laugh however rare it may be - so they make it their mission to get them to crack up as often as possible.
I just think it'd be really cute lmao
Thanks!
 A/N: Oh my gosh! This is such a cute ask! @metkapop Sorry if it’s bad, I just could not focus at all today.
Tumblr media
🎭 Castlevania Trio w/ A Court Jester S/O HC: 🎭
Trio: 
If anyone could use some cheering up, it’s these three lol.
After all the three have been through, genuine laughter is hard to come by. 
That’s where our Court Jester S/O comes in. 
They’re smart, and quick-witted, and pretty fast on their feet. They probably come into the trio’s life sometime after S4 ends. Currently courtless, they were traveling in search of a new court when they came across Village Belmont- a small but thriving new settlement, complete with a huge castle right in the middle, so they assumed there must be some sort of royal court inside. 
They’re very impressed by the way things are run/ruled: it’s not exactly a democracy, but it certainly isn’t a monarchy either, which sort of takes the pressure off. It’s easier to be naturally comedic when you don’t have to tailor all of your humor towards one /almighty/ ruler. 
They’re immediately drawn to the trio. I mean, who wouldn't be? Lol. But it’s more than mere fascination, they feel a sort of responsibility to cheer them up. Hearing their stories, hearing of all the trials and trauma they went through, our Court Jester makes up their mind to do everything in their power to make each of the trio laugh. 
Trevor: 
Trevor is the second hardest of the group to make laugh. He’s not against humor, and he has a habit of making witty comments under his breath, but he’s tired as all hell. It’s hard to laugh when you’re just so exhausted. After all, it’s not every day you get in a fight with Death and win. Needless to say, the guy needs some recovery time. 
But he does love a good sarcastic joke, especially if it’s teasing Alucard, or poking light fun at any of the superstitions the villagers have. Knowing so much about the truth of monster hunting it’s easy to sort of scoff/laugh at other people’s ignorance surrounding it. 
For example, one night, there were rumors an untethered group of vampires was heading in the castle’s general direction. Whether they were hellbent on bloodshed or negotiation was another question entirely, one that mattered not to the people. 
Going about his day, Trevor kept smelling garlic everywhere, which was odd, because there wasn’t any garland or garlic visible. After the stench became unbearable (it kept making Sypha’s morning sickness worse), he sought out Greta for answers. 
At the time Greta was conversing with our Court Jester S/O, laughing about something they said. When Trevor interrupted and asked why the hell he kept smelling garlic everywhere, Greta confided that a few of the villagers got in their heads that if they bathed in garlic water, vampires couldn’t touch them… To which our Jester replied, “Oh yeah. Because seasoned food is way less enticing.” 
Trevor let out a chuckle but otherwise held his tongue. It was only when he made it back inside to Sypha that he broke down in a fit of laughter as he relayed the information. The two’s hysterics could be heard outside. It was the perfect combination of sleep deprivation and hilarity that sent Trevor over the edge. 
From that day forward, whenever Trevor was in desperate need of a laugh, Jester would sneak a bulb of garlic into one of his pockets, before hiding and awaiting the snickers that were sure to follow. 
Sypha: 
Sypha laughs the most, although, not as much as she used to before meeting Trevor and going on this journey with him. The last few months they spent together on the road changed the way she looked at people and life. She’s still positive and always wants the best for everyone, but she’s hesitant, and much more guarded now. 
With Trevor back, everything seemed possible again. She didn’t feel as alone and lost. But there’s still a lot she has to carry. Being pregnant, leading a village, watching over Alucard, and helping Trevor heal take up most of her energy, leaving little left for an appreciation of humor. 
That doesn’t deter her Court Jester S/O though, nope! Not at all! They just try harder to see Sypha smile. 
They help her with whatever chores Sypha’s doing at the moment, making pleasant conversation, and trying some banter. When that doesn’t work, Jster opts for a more physical approach. They offer to carry a stack of papers down to the cellar before tripping and falling three-stooges-style down the stairs. The paper goes flying everywhere, like confetti. But before Sypha can even blink, they pop back up, their little bells jingling as they do so: “I’m okay!” Cue paper continuing to fall comedically around them. 
Sypha is stunned with concern for a moment before she starts to giggle. One giggle, then twp, before she’s holding her swollen belly laughing. “That was perfect,” she says. “But for safety purposes, let’s try not to do that again.” 
Jester is careful, but they don’t stop the physical humor completely. They love making moves, even Sypha can’t see coming. For example, when Sypha uses her Speaker magic to conjure floating ice steps, Jester will try to climb up onto it from below, even going as far to get a ladder if they have to, just to slide themselves over the edge and start to do pull-ups on it. Yes, it’s slippery and hazardous, but Jester knows how to fall. They’ve done it so many times, they’re practically an expert by now lol. 
The sheer zaniness of Jester’s actions never fails to bring a knowing smile to Sypha’s face. She just asks that they promise not to act that way when her baby comes around, lest they teach her kid any ideas. 
Alucard: 
Alucard is by far the hardest to make laugh. He’s much more introverted and stoic than the other two. That’s not to say he doesn’t laugh or doesn’t enjoy humor- he does, but it’s much quieter and more subtle than the others. 
Alucard was under a lot of pressure at the end of S4, especially before Trevor seemingly returned from the dead. His stress levels were through the roof, even if he tried hiding it. 
In all the chaos, the one thing Alucard found brought him the most joy was playing with the kids in the village. He liked hearing them laugh as he chased after them from above, or snuck up on them when playing hide and seek. It reminded him so much of how his parents would play with him when he was a little boy growing up in the castle. 
This of course doesn’t go unnoticed by his Jester S/O, who makes a secret pact with the orphaned children to play a funny prank on Alucard when he’s least expecting it. 
The timing just so happened to work out perfectly. It happens just after the first snow of the season. The ground becomes coated in heavy, packing snow- perfect for making snowmen and snowballs. Jester and the children get bundled up and build two modest, unsuspecting forts. Then Jester asks Alucard to come help them referee the children's snowball fight. With a bit of begging, Alucard relents, happy to give Trevor and Sypha some alone time with their new baby. 
Unbeknownst to Alucard however, is that he is the intended target of the snowball fight. And that the two forts are stocked full of pre-made snowballs ready to launch on hidden catapults, perfect for surprisingly even the smartest of dhampir. 
Once Alucard gets into position, and gives the signal for the fight to begin, the kids unleash their snowball fury. They get a good few solid hits in before Alucard’s brain catches up to the fact he’s been bamboozled. He makes a move to super-speed away but not before Jester and a handful of other older kids tackle Alucard to the ground. Yes, they all end up getting pulled with snowball after snowball from their makeshift catapult contraption, but the snow in their hair and all over their clothes is well worth it. 
Alucard, covered in snow and ice, and now freezing children throws his head back and laughs- a deep genuine laugh. 
How surprising human joy is to him, even after all of this time. It’s infectious, and Alucard finds himself grateful to be amongst friends. 
After everyone’s nose starts to freeze, he ushers the children back inside their respective homes, promising to play with everyone again tomorrow. 
Once he and Jester are back inside, he offers to make tea for the two of them. Jester of course accepts graciously, still warming themselves by the fire. Alucard leaves for the kitchen, but not before lobbing one perfectly formed snowball right at Jester’s back. Revenge was a dish best served cold after all. 
Tumblr media
I hope you enjoyed it! If you did, don’t forget to Reblog! 
Once again, the cute daisy chain divider is courtesy of @cafekitsune !

oooo a demon au! I like it! question, do you think demon chu and daz would be content with just tormenting darling for the rest of their days and leaving it at that, or would they want the relationship to... progress, at some point? like I feel like this can go one of two ways 1) demon yan just wants to torment their little human until they break and then move on or 2) demon yans possessive feelings take a more romantic, softer (soft used VERY generously here) note and they move onto courting practices. of course demonic courting is objectively terrifying and you probably won't realize that's what they're even trying to do but, you know. modern dating, amirite? I could see dazai specifically learning about what marriage is from watching your TV unsupervised and becoming VERY taken with the idea. chuuya would probably think it was stupid, he doesn't need a RING or a damned PRIEST to stake his claim on you! (though, maybe you'd appreciate the effort? hm... much to consider)
or maybe it'd be a mix of both, or a secret third thing I haven't thought of yet!
also what kind of demons do u think the boys are? dazai is giving me incubus vibes from the way you've written him so far but I can also see him being very torture-oriented, maybe even some kind of eldritch monstrosity entirely in his own league. demon!dazai saying he wants to lock you up in his little torture hell dimension for all eternity and thinks he's VERY romantic for saying it too! mmmm chuuya would definitely be a much more powerful sort than one might intitally assume. has a very large sphere of influence, possibly even his own cult (that might cause issues for you down the road). who knows!
- 🩹
cw: yandere characters + themes, implied imprisonment, mentioned murder and violence, chuuya has a cult
Tumblr media
i like the sound of chuuya having a cult of fervent worshippers; since he's so well known and revered for his strength and his power, it would make sense as to why someone decided to curse you by tacking him onto you. it was obvious that under normal circumstances, you'd have been devoured by the demon by now.
speaking of cults, you're shocked at first to know that he has one. chuuya tells you he doesn't care for his human worshippers (does that mean he has demon worshippers, too?) but it's somewhat true that fear is power for him. he doesn't care about their antics, but he was pleasantly surprised to see them offer sacrifices and relics to him (though he doesn't mention the first to you, knowing how...weak human hearts are)
he doesn't take you to see it, of course, unsure of whether his worshippers would be happy to see you by his side, or feel offended that he had to be tied down to a human. of course, he was ready to slaughter them all at a moment's notice if you would feel better about it, but you seemed appalled by the suggestion.
for the most part, he's definitely a lot softer than dazai. sure, he has a better understanding of human relationships, having mingled more with people than dazai, but it doesn't mean his understanding isn't skewed. chuuya thinks that kidnapping a priest will mean that your wedding will be recognized by the divine law, and he doesn't know why you'd be upset when he offers you the corpses of every person who's ever slighted you as a wedding gift.
Tumblr media
putting dazai with a human is the worst thing to ever happen because he has no understanding of how humans work. why are they so weak, and small? why are they so frightened by everything? why are they so preoccupied by that strange box with flashing lights??
initially, he's all about making your life a literal living hell. he almost felt embarrassed that you of all people summoned him, to be honest, and he takes it out on you. since you were able to bring him here, stupid human, you should be able to keep him as well! but as we've discussed, his torment turns into something strange. it's thanks to human technology that dazai learns that humans like when a potential partner brings them gifts and helps them out, so when he sees you suffering trying to finish all your work, he happily burns down the pile of paper and brings you the ashes in a little jar he made the other day. oh, and they like verbal assurances and physical affection? dazai is always cooing at you about how smart you are for a human, and then proceeds to literally wrap himself around you and pet your hair.
god forbid he decides to surprise you with a visit to his home. while he promises you that you'll just love his majestic castle, you don't expect to be shown a very...in-depth tour of his torture chamber as well. and then he grins at you and says that he'll love for you to stay with him longer, all the while holding his one-of-a-kind, custom made blade in one hand.

q!parrotduo (q!Jaiden and q!Roier from the QSMP) Propaganda:
They raised a kid together and he was the best dragon ever, they've been there for the other at their lowest and even when no one else believed them, they have been through grief and healing together, they would go through Hell for the other.
They are canonically platonic partners, Jaiden is Aroace and Roier has a husband (outside of the QPR) and had a wonderful son (egg), Bobby. Even when they were lawyers on opposing sides of a court case, afterwards they complimented each other on how they did during the case. On top of that, Jaiden threatened Roier's husband Cellbit before their marriage, telling him that if he hurt Roier she would hunt him down, and telling him to be honest to Roier. They are the greatest <3
they had a kid together and lived together and even after bobby died they’ve stayed the bestest of friends ☹️ roier even got married but jaiden is still so important to him and they both care for each other so much and roier’s husband sees her as equally part of their family too
they adopted a kid together because of an event and they didnt have to go hard as they did. after the kid died, they STILL were together. then roier married another guy BUT all jaiden did was threaten him bc all she wants is for roier to be happy.
i dont even go here but this qpr is literally canon. jaiden is an aroace queen and also these two raised a son together like come on bro
Q! and cc!Jaiden is aroace and q!roier is queer. They were selected to be a pair to raise a child who they named Bobby. Jaiden moved into roier's home, had their beds next to each other, they raised bobby together, went on adventures together. Jaiden and roier loved each other and called each other family. When people asked if they were together they both said no but they were partners. Jaiden was extremely supportive of roier's cross dressing and him working at a strip club. Roier helped her practice her fighting skills. When roier became romantically interested in another character nothing between them changed and Jaiden threatened the other character to never hurt roier. Bobby died and they mourned and Jaiden moved away but they were still very close and visit each other often and roier keeps an eye on her interactions with a federation worker called cucurucho to make sure it doesn't hurt her. They are literally the perfect example of a qpr; living together, expressing their love for each other, raising a child together but never being romantically involved and being such a unit together and everyone on the island knows it and loves them too.
its like halfway canon that theyre in a QPR, they raise a child together and sleep next to each other and are basically life partners. jaiden supports roiers other relationships, and they actually support and communicate with each other and its great
They raised a child together, Roier's in game romantic husband loves Jaiden almost as much Roier does
you don't understand your honor they're everything to me. they're basically canon. they raised a kid together, lived in the same house, slept in the same bed, and trusted each other with everything. Someone once asked if they were together romantically and their answers were 'family' and 'partners' and often times they're just called 'platonic life partners'. They trust each other first no matter what they are RIDE or DIE qpp bitrans and aroace
oh my gdodddd dude oh my goddddd oh my godddddd oh my lord oh my LORRRDDDDDD they got randomly paired together to raise a child and had hardly interacted before that and immediatley became besties and there is so much respect and patience and trust in their relationship even after the loss of their child they are eachothers confidants they always want the best for eachother they are everything to me im craszy ANIMATIONS FAMILY 4EVER
they raised a child together they live together Jaiden's aroace and supports her partner's drag stripping career she was at his wedding
they raised a child together. jaiden is aroace and roier was kinda a whore before he got married (not to jaiden though) but they are besties and they care for each other very much. when their son bobby died they were each other's rock. i barely watch the livestreams but i see the liveblogging and its just so so obvious they care for each other and are ride or die PLEASE LET THEM IN AND WIN
they were the best parents to their little egg, Bobby, and are just so silly goofy together. They hype each other up SO MUCH.
Just these two lol not much for me to say but lots of platonic love to give
roier is gay and married to a man and jaiden's aroace but they are still partners!!! they're family they're a couple but they're not dating or romantically interested in each other. everyone in-canon acknowledges their relationship as equally as important as a romantic one, even roier's husband.
They LITERALLY lived together and slept in the same bed and raised a child together and one of them is played by an aroace person! The ccs never implied or explicitly said there was anything romantic between their characters, but the characters are still incredibly close with one another, even when Roier had his own romantic arc with another character!
They raised a son together platonically, Roier is married and he and Jaiden’s relationship is treated with the same amount of gravitas and weight as Roier’s relationship with his husband. They’re mutually supportive and care about each other so deeply. They’ve been through the loss of their son together and have continued to wholeheartedly mutually support and protect each other.
BOBBY THEIR LITTLE EGG THEY
canonically a family unit but not in the nuclear way (they both parent a child, but they are not in a romantic relationship nor a couple, nor did either of them create this child). this platonic relationship is treated equally to one of the character's romantic relationships and is not seen as 'less' than the romantic one. it is expressed multiple times throughout the series how important this platonic relationship is.
They co-parented their adopted kid together for a while and were acknowledged by pretty much everyone as the best parents, and now that Roier is married, his husband treats him and jaiden with just as much respect as she does their marriage,,,, which means a lot to me personally <3
roier literally considers his relationship with jaiden (who is aroace) to be equal to that of his relationship with his husband. his husband also treats jaiden n roiers relationship as equal to his and roiers!! plus jaiden and roier raised a son together and slept next to each other and were often mistaken for being husband and wife bc of how affectionate they were but its completely platonic! also when roiers husband, cellbit, was being an asshole pre engagement, jaiden talked with roier about how she thinks he deserves better and threatened cellbit if he hurt roier. i have many feelings about them but most of them are like just stick figure gore images
qpr of all time. i dont even watch qsmp but theyre so sillies. they raised a kid (egg) together. jaiden is acearo
Roier is a very gay hypersexual man and Jaiden is AceAro!! They refer to eachother as partners and raised an (egg)child together. Theyre besties theyre ride or die they trust eachother above anyone else etc etc
Q!JAIDEN CALLED Q!ROIER HER PARTNER SEVERAL TIMES!!! SHES AROACE AND HES MARRIED AND ALSO THEY RAISED A CHILD TOGETHER AND LIVED TOGETHER (<- i am feral)
They have said they love each other and it wasn’t romantic. One of them is played by and aroace person, one of them isn’t and the character still has a relationship outside of the romantic/platonic binary while still having both romantic and platonic relationships.
They have directly referred themselves as platonic partners multiple time throughout their time together. Despite the fact that Q!Roier is married to another character, his relationship with Q!Jaiden is never dismissed and is held at the same importance as his romantic relationship.
Literally call each other partner and family. Raised a egg son for a while (rip Bobby) Jaiden helped set him up with Cellbit! (They’re married now)

HIII ive been trying to write this ask for a whole Day atp but writing these is a full time job lmaoo and Real Life (work….) has been kicking my ass so .
scar:( i feel so bad everytime he talks about his condition and. it's so fucked up that he can't make fairy rings safely, like, he's fae but he can't even do all of the stuff that's like second nature to other fae without hurting himself:(
the fact that small covens are being targeted and scar just found out that maybe (definitely) mumbo sees grian and him as his coven….. and now he wants to learn how to make fairy rings….. to keep grian and mumbo safe…. yeah i'm normal about this
grian waking up in scar's room, in scar's bed, with mumbo still asleep next to him, and immediately coming down with messy hair and all to greet scar<3 and then he took scar on a date right away<3 that's so gay of him<3
grian is very gay in this chapter in general. yeah dw grian, it's completely normal to call your friends tempting and alluring without even thinking about it, definitely platonic and not gay at all!! just bestie things right!!! AND THE ELVEN JEWELRY PIECE. HE BOUGHT IT HE'S SOOO. scar said yeah so it's a jewelry piece you give to elves to court them and grian's brain went I Need To Have It In My Possession For No Particular Reason. obssessed with him fr. i will go crazy if grian and mumbo give it to scar later....... oh and btw everyone who took one look at grian and scar that day totally thought they were boyfriends, they were acting soo<3 they make me sick fr<3
UGHHH GRIAN'S PAST..... god all the little glimpses into what his life used to be are so interesting, can't wait until it gets explored more<3 i'm looking at the tag about him not being a watcher /yet/ . and poor grian lmao scar just really made him have a Horrible realization by saying one sentence.

THE FEEDING SCENE I'M SOOO NORMAL ABOUT IT (lying). scar had been fed on agaisnt his will recently and it was such a traumatic experience for him, but now mumbo is injured and needs his blood to heal and scar trusts him enough to let him feed on him ahhhh...... homoerotic blood drinking<3 mumbo bit him in the same place as blondie did and now his mark is there<33 grian was watching his boyfriend fangs deep in his best friend's neck and thought "that's so hot" lmaooo he's such a gay diseaster<3 they are all tbh .
mumbo feeling guilty about being in love with scar and being like oooh it would be so convenient if only grian was Also in love with scar. boy do i have some news for you...! he literally saw mumbo biting scar and was one gay thought away from making out with both of them right then and there
mumbo was close to talking to grian about his feelings for scar but of course he's not gonna do it yet, he's functional but not that functional! but i'm obsessed with mumbo confessing things that would make him despicable in the eyes of any other vampire to grian and grian just telling him that he loves him no matter what<33 god i love them so much<333
this took me so long to write . i started yesterday but i was too tired to finish and today i didn't have time until i got home from work and then a new update dropped . i don't think i've ever been this invested in a fanfic before, my autistic brain has decided that this is The Thing for me now and i'm very glad because i'm enjoying it a lot :3 oh and ive been struggling to send it too . so sorry if i ended up sending it ten times but tumblr keeps trying to stop me for some reason
<3 That real life thing is such a mood <3 In other news I was so focused on writing/posting Midnight Folly yesterday that I forgot to do my daily quests on Origin Realms and lost my 157 day streak </3 But I posted the entirety of Folly so it's okay <3 I can start over, not like having a 157 day streak actually did anything special <3
Scar has really gotten the short end of the stick of life </3 And I'm about to add on top of it, though this one finally isn't centered around the fact that he's dYING- But yeah <3 he can't even make Fairy Rings and it's so frustrating because he's honestly just really amazing with magic and the fact that he can't figure out something that comes so naturally to everyone else he grew up around is just hjkfdskl </3
:) He did start researching the Fairy rings before finding out Mumbo sees them as his Coven but it WAS after discovering they're targeting small Covens and he absolutely at the very least considered Grian and Mumbo their own small little Coven and he wants to protect them <3 he wouldn't even try if not for them <3 hhh
He is so gay and somehow takes a trip the da Nile river to spend all day there <3 hahahahaha <3
I was giggling like a MADMAN when I wrote that <3 so normal, so platonic, nothing wrong with this <3 Just BESTIES yeah totally <3 <3 YEAAHHHHH he looked at it like "oo" and then heard Elven Courting Gift and was like "aight mine now" LMAO OH? BIRD? WHO ELSE WOULD YOU FIX UP AN ELVEN HAIR/HEADPIECE FOR HUH? hahahaha <3 Oh yeah no everyone saw them together, they saw Grian come down out of the back of the shop where the stairs to the flat above are with messy hair and sleep-mussed clothes and went "aw our local Sorcerer got a boyfriend <3" and no one corrected them- I love how no one realizes that the Elven headpiece lore could also be used for angst reasons hehehehehehehe-
Heeee <3 I'm looking forward to finally getting it out in the open but we're not quite there yet <3 Not quite there <3 Scar really went "yeah from one palace child to another wtf?" and Grian just REALIZED-
Jellie deserves her own story tbh <3 Maybe I might make a little sidestory to post with a more serious story, just something to awe at before I make y'all cry <3 He ABSOLUTELY spoils her, that cat has him wrapped around her teeny tiny little claw <3
Yessss he must make certain that they are Safe <3 This man be thinking "PROTECT THEM they don't need protecting PROTECT THEM ANYWAY make sure they're sAFE THERE WAS AN EDGE TO HIS VOICE-" and still hasn't realized he's a frikkin Lord now smh Scar totally missing the fact that Mumbo was speaking in plurals <3 What a man, what a man <3 NO YOU'RE RIGHT AND YOU SHOULD SAY IT-
Scar: I tried dancing alone and my partner- Grian & Mumbo: WHAT Scar: We were fourteen and bored at a big fancy party Grian & Mumbo: Acceptable
They were very openly jealous until the moment they realized it was a childhood memory and then they went "oh okay that's acceptable" lmao SO I GREATLY ENJOY CONVEX TOO but I am going to make you so sad with how the past!ConVex ended because it was not pretty <3 And is a huge source of a LOT of Scar's current issues with self-worth tbh <3 Cub is a good boi, best boi really, he did nothing wrong but oh my god did something happen </3 Bold of you to assume I haven't already written a dance scene <3
I LOVED WRITING IT AND JUXTAPOSING THE HAPPY CUTE PRESENT WITH THE TRAGIC PAST <3 Yessssss Scar hesitating for just a moment but his only reservation being "do you even know how to braid hair" AND THEN LETTING GRIAN BRAID HIS HAIR ANYWAY <3 and then giving Mumbo permission to also touch his hair <3 <3 <3 (and yes that little nod of consent specifically for Mumbo was really important for me to include <3) YEAHHH MUMBO REALIZING THROUGH THIS <3 Such a sweet little moment though Mumbo has a bit of an "oh shit" reaction to it because Grian is RIGHT THERE and oh gods he wants them both but he doesn't realize Grian is Very Gay for Scar too and just jkgfkds Mumbo worrying about how to approach this with Grian meanwhile Grian has essentially already done the equivalent of picking out a ring LMAO they have DEFINITELY gotta have a talk especially considering they gotta come to an agreement here, they gotta talk to Scar TOGETHER or else Scar ain't gonna listen to them </3
HAHAHA SURPRISE (but they do take a while to write, it takes me like an hour to respond tho that's my fault for listening to music, pausing to read messages, petting my pups and occasionally pausing to play MC which I forgot to do before going to sleep last night <3) I LOVE TO SPOIL MY BELOVED READERS AND ANONS <3
I HAVE DELIVERED UPON THE GRIAN ANGST + FERAL MUMBO + HOMOEROTIC VAMPIRE FEEDING ALL IN THE SAME FIC MWAHAA <3 Yeah god his wings :( Especially considering they're his main tool when he's fighting hjfdskj do you know how long it takes clipped wings to recover? This mans is GROUNDED. For MONTHS. Thank you so much aaaaa <3 And this won't be the last time we see blood magic hhhjfjdfgjkdhehehe <3
He might be half out of his mind but he is always aware of Grian and Scar <3 always <3 He will hold them gently and protect them and try his best to stop any pain even though his mind is racing a million thoughts a second <3 He will make them all pay <3
Grian saw Doc and saw a kindred spirit in him and probably saw a little but of Mumbo in him too </3 All the Vampires will get therapy and be put into good Covens to try and recover and Grian may or may not keep in contact with Doc after this and Doc may or may not join their Coven after being released from his rehabilitation hjfdks Doc saw Mumbo bite Scar and went "oh shit that's gay good for them oh shit he's glaring at me-" ahahaha <3
Mumbo deserves a little feral time and some righteous murder <3 And Grian deserves to silently cheer him on <3 HEEHEEHEEEEE do you know how I was cackling when I brought up the Fae blood thing and had Myrani/Blondie bite Scar, knowing damn well I was gonna write this fic not too long after <3 Scar, relatively recently being attacked, willingly offering to be bitten by Mumbo so he can heal <3 He wasn't expecting Mumbo to go for the neck but he wasn't struggling so it didn't hurt past the initial skin breakage and he may have enjoyed it a little too much and definitely wasn't gonna complain about being held like that by the guy he's been mad about for ages now hhhhh <3 Me, briefly mentioning how Mumbo hates that scar and wishes he could cover/get rid of it: I am gonna give the gays everything (me, I'm the gays) Grian, who is selfish greedy jealous and possessive, seeing his boyfriend pull his best friend into a very compromising position and biting into his neck instead of the offered arm: Holy shit yes- They are all such gay disasters and Mumbo was so close to being the only competent one smh
HAHAHA we can't make it THAT simple <3 but don't worry Mumscarian is coming soon I won't drag it out that long because I'm not that patient, just got a couple more stories to get through before we get the good <3 BUT YEAH HAHA Mumbo being like "ah if only Grian loved Scar and Scar loved Grian this would be amazing and so much easier" MEANWHILE Grian and Scar spend SEVEN HOURS OUT TOGETHER and buy fuckin ELVEN COURTING JEWELRY and Grian not only LETS Scar let Mumbo feed on him BUT IS PLEASED BY THE FACT THAT MUMBO BIT HIS NECK, OVER BLONDIE'S BITE, and satisfied that he REPLACED Blondie's mark on Scar and hjfdsjfds
Yes <3 Mumbo doesn't know how to say it yet <3 He'll figure it out, tho. He'll figure out eventually that they're all basically already dating and they're the last three to know lmao <3 <3 YEAH Mumbo confessing the real reason he doesn't interact with other Vampires <3 And the reveal he's not nearly as petty as everyone thinks, the ties are just a way for him to always remind Cleo of their conversation and how their (past) beliefs have affected victimized Turned everywhere hjgdjskfds (not that he went THAT into detail about it but it's what was implied by "it was never about the tie" and that Cleo is a good Lord who just doesn't/didn't understand jkgfld) And Grian loving him anyway <3 (and knowing that Scar knows all this too, and that he also loves Mumbo anyway <3) Promising to stay by his side always and assuring him that what he did was within his rights <3 hhhhh <3
That's such a mood <3 Hahaha and the new update was four whole chapters I don't know whether to say I'm sorry or you're welcome <3 HHHH Thank you so much <3 it's been a long long long time since I've been this invested in writing (depression and adulting is a bitch <3) so I'm so happy you're taking this journey with me <3 Thank you so very much <3 No worries, it only sent it once! Tumblr sometimes is just Like That <3

Deena, Enlin, Gavyn, Regina, all have Imperial Officer parents. They are also expected to become officers, so they all go to the Imperial Military Academy. (Basically military college? As I understand it?)
Jeren's only a couple years older than them, but he got a job from the Haines involving the creation of a zoo/nature reserve on Dantooine. (He wasn't the only one. There are mulllltiple multiple people making this thing happen.) He also takes up a side-job for the warmer part of the year assisting the professor of zoology at the Imperial Military Academy, usually with the student's field work.
That's probably more than you need to know, but I spent a long time thinking about what the hell brought him to DANTOOINE lmao
Deena hears about a guy from Naboo -- the son of a former QUEEN no less -- coming to Dantooine. She makes sure to be in the starport the day he comes in and introduces herself. He's tall, pretty, friendly, she decides this one is Hers. But she wants him to ask her out. She has a story she wants to unfold. She starts making plans.
Animals and animal welfare are Jeren's specal interests, but he's also into classic vehicles & starships. Gavyn's got a hotrodded speeder and Jeren strikes up conversation with him about it one day at the cantina, asking if he works on it himself orrrrr... So Gav introduces him to his mechanic, Enlin. Enlin and Jeren get on like a house on fire.
I have written just. SO much fic for this section of the story. I have 17k words for one event alone and outlines for so many more and afjdskaf I'm having fun. They're fun characters. Welcome to the shippy section of the story.
Jeren's an intense guy. He doesn't half-ass fuckin anything. He walks into the cantina one day to hang out with Enlin, sees Regina, and goes I have to talk to her. So he does. Immediately. Flirtatiously. And he's such a breath of fresh air. He's direct, confident, charming, and being 6'6" and rated 13/10 on the harem meter certainly help. Regina doesn't flirt. She's Resigned To Her Predetermined Life.
She flirts with Jeren. She is completely disarmed. She lets herself be charmed.
And it all comes crashing down when Enlin shows up. It's not Enlin's fault! But Regina puts two and two together. Enlin's new bestie is the zoologist her parents hired. The zoologist from Naboo. The guy Deena likes.
Regina mentally smacks herself with a stop sign and extricates herself from the conversation, exits the cantina.
She spends the next six months in the spotlight of Jeren's attention, trying not to flirt with him.
It'd... it'd be faster for me to just copypaste one of the ficlets I have for this part.
v🎬v
Regina has paved the way for Deena's chance with Jeren so many times. She just. Can't really stand to watch, so she has no real idea of how that ever works out for Deena except that it doesn't. Regina hopes and dreads that Jeren is kind enough, insightful enough, that he'll see the sweeter side of Deena and look her way.
It all starts to come unraveled when Deena flops down on Regina's bed with a huff, pouting in the way Regina knows she wants her to ask what's wrong. So she does. And Deena vents about how she's started trying to make Jeren jealous, but she was flirting with someone right in front of him and he didn't care at all. 
Regina sits at her desk with her books and notes, exasperated. Thinking about Jeren makes it hard for her to focus, so she's snappish when she asks, "Why don't you just ask him out?"
"That's not how a lady is courted! He needs to ask me."
This scrapes at her all wrong. "If you want to be with him, who cares about all that."
Deena says something about how appearances are so super important to maintain, especially for the higher ranks of society and it's so important to choose the right partner. Regina stares at her through her ramble.
"But," her lips feel numb, "you like him."
"Well of course I like him," Deena shrugs. "He's handsome, well-respected – and well-endowed, there is no hiding that thing – but he's harmless, really. Too nice for his own good. He'll do."
Harmless is not a word Regina would use for Jeren. He socializes wild animals for return to their proper habitats. He routinely wrestles powerful beasts to the ground. He could throw her and barely strain from it, but he's never so much as raised a hand to anybody. He'll barely spar with anyone, and so many people would love to test their strength against him.
"You talk like you just decided to like him."
"Well, no, I can't help that part. He's very likable."
"So you don't–" Regina just keeps blinking, mystified and aghast. "--you don't like like him?"
Deena glances at her from the bed, and just starts laughing. "Oh, Reggie," she giggles, "you poor idealistic thing. You don't need romance for marriage! Even if he weren't so pretty, he's high enough nobility that I'm sure I could make it work. But I digress. He's perfect!"
She turns to look out the window, holding her hot face in cold hands, elbows on her desk. Deena reads her embarrassment wrong. She calls Regina sweet for wanting better for her, for either of them, trying to console her that it'll all work out and she's sure Regina will find a pushover, too.
Regina isn't really listening. Her heart is threatening to beat straight through her ribs. 
Deena called Jeren perfect, and all Regina could think was, well, yes, but not for the reasons YOU think.
^🎬^
But!!!! Before Regina can work through her feelings about all THAT, before she figures out how to tell Deena she might be actually in love with Jeren... THIS happens!
(I love Enlin, but oh my GOD does his stumbling make for some plot convenience.)
((The following is how my first drafts usually look lol))
v🎬v
Enlin is trying really hard to flirt with Regina. Does the hand against the wall thing, leaning into her. She's unaffected and just blinks up at him, "What are you doing?"
He backpedals hard, blabbering something about her getting flustered when Jeren does it
"Excuse me, what?"
"Well uh it just it seems uh when Jeren does stuff like that in your presence you seem to uh well enjoy it and as someone who um would like if you enjoyed my er company as much, I thought I'd uh try?"
She sputters defensively, denying anything about Jeren
"No I mean like I understand, he tries real hard and Gavyn does too, it just seems like Jeren is WINNING and uh"
Now she's starting to get pissed off. "Winning? Winning what?"
"Uh. Well. You. The three of us, um, we all really like you, I really like you, so we all agreed we'd take turns um flirting with you so it was more fair. It was Jeren's suggestion but I don't think he ever even waits his turn anymore–"
Fire sparks and ignites in her gut. She is livid. She is incandescent. "This is a game?" Her heart hammers outrage against her ribs. "I'm just some sort of prize to you?"
Enlin goes shock-white, wide eyed. "No, no, it's not like that, we were just trying to make things a fair competi–"
"FUCK you!" She pushes away from the wall in a blaze, hands in fists, furious tears spilling over her hot cheeks. "Fuck ALL of you!"
Regina turns on her heel and storms down the hall so she doesn't beat the living daylight out of Enlin. 
He doesn't follow her.
^🎬^
She has NEVVVVER been so upset. She barely knows what to do with herself. One of her classmates invites her to a houseparty. She wasn't originally gonna go, but Deena insists they go (because she can't go alone, she doesn't know the host & therefore isn't invited) so Regina decides, fuck it, let's get drunk about it.
Also, she's like 18. She's Force sensitive & a kind of empathic, but she's Unwise.
It. Is. A. DISASTER.
I keep rewriting this trying to make it shorter afjkdsaf okay try number three:
Regina gets too drunk to deal with all this shit. She tries to shove Deena and Jeren together and runs away. Host catches her and tries to find out why she's self-destructing so hard. She cries on his shoulder about Jeren.
Jeren has to finally flat-out reject Deena. She pressures him about his reasons and he admits he's in love with Regina. She gets pissed. The scene looks bad. The host sees Jeren with his back to a wall, Deena's fists in his collar, Jeren's hands basically in the air. Host very loudly and thoroughly shames Deena and kicks her out of the party. Worst day of her life.
Host tells Jeren that Regina thinks he was trying to prank her. Jeren sets out to try and fix it.
WHEW! Okay. Those three paragraphs are worth 5k and counting in the document where I'm actually writing it out.
GM looked at me after I finished the part where Host kicks Deena out and said, "You realize this means Host is dead in canon, right? Dark-side Deena would have started with him."
It's fine :D I borrowed him from a different writing project, he doesn't belong here.
So. Yeah. Regina and Deena have had a difficult relationship since then. It could have been salvaged with Deena's pride, maybe, because she knew Regina was trying to do right by Deena... but then Regina did end up dating Jeren. They never really recovered their friendship. Regina tried. Deena shut her out and embraced the dark side.

There's a whole lot of stuff going on here in Charlotte county
-there are a few things to mention one of them is I don't like to be bothered or read or talk to and I'll tell you what these people are fairly annoying and not necessarily talk to that much but the demand is ridiculous and he was right
-there are few people that need to feel somewhere else that's for sure and made a list I was going to approach that list regression with aggression
-there's enough time for all of us to get together and discuss what to do here and we're going to go ahead and do that we don't understand why these people are doing it completely and you just for a smoke screen that's for themselves as well and I'm going to go ahead and topple it
-some of them are a huge assholes I think they can sit there and do and say what they want it's not true it was a huge list of things to do and things are going on but there's some major major events and they are overshadowing other things and we need time to announce both I only seems to be rushed when our son really does not have any activities he's doing but we do manage to get it out one thing is we do not see why you pester him every few seconds and we are getting to the bottom of it and it's not good just like he said
-there are several things more that are going on that are upsetting there is a war between Tommy f and the pseudo empire and the empire and he is trying to get here with more troops and more people and more ships and he is being not allowed to and he's going to kicked out he's increasing the pressure and huge armies are trying to get here now they're pretty big and the empire is land basing them and getting a lot of information the sooner empire is but they're not getting that much for real there are other things happening people are feeling envious El pseudo empire personnel not much though hardly any is a weird feeling for some several people are passing away and it is a big deal I Warren buffett's business partner and he is a very wealthy person and that is a friend of Mike too now it's his brother and he held a quarter of the businesses and he is getting pummeled for what he was holding and is getting split up unfortunately between the pseudo empire who are going to apparently not be that helpful most of them the max that is heavy duty
-there's some other things going on these people are still nasty as hell and they're trying stuff every few minutes in the mall they walk by like zombies issue hand signals like they're not on camera later they suffer and they're stupid as a piece of crap we are going to go after them and we're going to make them pay and stop them it's ridiculous I've never seen people act as dumb in my life has been said so many times by these two stop them from doing it it's annoying as hell and it won't be the way it is and so forth
-we are getting signals from other groups they are saying things they're mentioning others and they have plans to do things for our son and with him one of the groups was the pseudo empire who have slowed to reverse and they're starting to suck and it's most of them except the ones that are not Max and they have to do something different and it's not really hard didn't like working for the pseudo empire
-today in Charlotte county they went to court almost all the court sessions are over the John remillard crew lost 10% of what the holdings were and it really went down to 15% or so or 17% well you know it was 50% this morning no talking about all the land are still on and it was 100% last year got down to 70% 2 weeks ago 60% last week and now it's at 50%. That's bad it's not abysmal but it's getting there I'm trying to build on that land and really want them to give them something else to do and makes them visible and they are going to do it anyways and they say it and they mean to build tons of stuff fast and I know how to do it sort of they're going to start believe it or not it's going to be tomorrow and they run the building department and they're going to work all week and it's outside of Charlotte county they're going to be putting up some very big apartments outside of Miami and Tampa a couple of spots maybe 200,000 occupants and they're big Big blocks the giant buildings and they have to check the soils and things like that to see what's underneath it's kind of important they're building on something like a shell in some places where they want to build this Michelle it's fairly thick it should hold anything or they should be aware that there is a ship there and they don't care and we can move it
-there's a huge huge group okay coming down from New England and it is a large group of miscellaneous I'm tired of being pushed around by everybody and everybody pushes everybody out up there over and over by the end of the day I have nothing to come here and idiots can come and go and they can just sit here and they figure they probably should try it it is a large group of about 10 million and they want to put it a bunch in charlottes county and we know what happens I kind of need that to happen the empire wants them to do that too
-the infighting of the pseudo empires increased and the fighting against them has intensified the entire Northern area from Nova Scotia to BC is fully engulfed and half their bunkers are out they have to be busted or the bugs just sit there trying to bang into it and it will take them a year literally they go like two feet an hour and the thing is like 5 mi thick or something it's only it's very thick it's really only a mile and a half Men stick that's 8,000 ft or something that's a lot of time and they bring big ones and then they can't do it think about 300 ft and it's too far for them and they can't breathe they come out exhausted and they threatened they're threatened they move back and they pull them up later so that's what's going on and they can use those holes people say that
-there's other things happening we expect those to Fall by tonight midnight a huge armies are going by there and up they are going to wear the Mac bunkers are because they have to and they are experiencing resistance and it is fierce huge huge arms are coming out and they said this is it and it really is that is powerful force and Tommy f now Tommy Allen Trump and others are holding the empire off with powerful weapons from ships and they won't last but they're going to try and make an offensive and then they're going to have to do something about their ship situation and the pseudo empire is going to get crushed. More shortly

Meeting Azul's family [headcanons]
I'm back on my bullshit
Tumblr media
From the second you two started dating, Azul knew exactly how his mother was going to react to it. The day he told her about you on the phone he almost missed the opening of Mostro Lounge because she wouldn't stop asking him questions. "Tell me more about your s/o! What are their hobbies, what plans do they have for the future? Did you kiss yet?"
Doesn't help that you're likely his first
Mrs. Ashengrotto feels like she's witnessing an important rite of passage in her son's life so she's all like "My Azul got himself a partner 🥺"
And let me tell you, Azul fucking hates answering the questions, especially the ones about whether you kissed yet and whether he told you he loves you yet
There's a chance the call happens when you're around as well and Azul really didn't think this through when he told her so now you're getting to watch him get asked all the details about your relationship while Azul is sitting next to you as a flustered mess, trying hard to brush his mother's bonding attempts off and you're trying hard not to make a sound and prevent yourself from laughing
If you really want to tease him, run your fingers along his arms or tickle the back of his neck while he's trying to answer a question coherently. He's gonna look at you like "Are you fucking kidding me? Am I not suffering enough?" This will potentially end in a tickle / pillow fight when he hangs up the phone but it's worth it
Next time she calls she's like "Are you with them rn? Can I talk to them for a second?". Azul hands you his phone and his mum tells you it's so nice to get to know you and how happy she is that you two are dating and invites you to like 3 family dinners
"I'm glad you two managed to get together. Azul used to be such a shy child so I bet he was really nervous about asking you out", cue Azul hiding his face in his hands and the twins having a fucking field day wheezing in the background
Azul's really nervous about you meeting his family for the first time, mostly because he's scared of anything embarrassing happening. I headcanon his mum doesn't know about his insecurities and how much he was bullied in elementary school, so she might be a little tone-deaf to what Azul would find embarrassing and what he wouldn't. To her it's mostly "I can see y/n loves you very much, they're not going to leave you over a couple of funny childhood stories"
Now, I imagine Mrs. Ashengrotto as like, this huge octopus lady who's way taller than her son and even more tall than her husband and spoils her son rotten. Upon seeing you the first thing she does is sweep you into a hug and welcome you to the family. She looks to Azul and goes "Your s/o is so pretty, you two really fit together!"
All in all she's just really positive and welcoming
The type to give you a huge Coral Sea gift bucket (yes, for free) filled with a bunch of souvenirs and local foods
Azul's stepdad is a little more distant but polite and welcoming as well. He mostly just doesn't know what to talk about with you yet so he lets his wife do most of the talking at the dinner table. If you happen to have any common interests, expect him to start a rather long discussion about them though
Azul's grandmother is the slightly intimidating one. She's the type to tell you "Don't break his heart" and there's this threatening aura around her
But treat your octopus boyfriend well and this family will treat you like one of their own. Azul's mum would fistfight anyone who bothers you and Azul's stepdad would fight for your honor in a court process.
Everything's going well up until the point Mrs. Ashengrotto pulls out the baby photos. It doesn't bother you but it sure as hell bothers Azul. If only he had edited or destroyed those as well but he didn't want to upset his mum or give her the feeling that something is wrong
When you notice how much Azul is struggling with this, this is the point where you could pull him aside and be the voice of reason, telling him it'd probably be best if he has a talk with his family about the fact that he overblotted
He's hesitant at first and refuses to but after a few reassuring words from your side I think he realizes it would do him good to talk about this and get closure
His family listens to him attentively and you can see how Azul's shaking a bit and stuttering when he gets to the most painful parts of his past. Saying these things out loud is really hard for him so he appreciates you running your hand across his back or putting an arm around his shoulder to comfort him.
His mum is gonna cry and pull her son into the biggest hug. She noticed Azul had grown more distant during the time he was bullied but she could never place her finger on why exactly and he would just pretend everything was fine.
She's partly gonna blame herself for not having supported him more or noticed he was struggling so much but Azul tells her it's fine, she didn't know
After seeing his family's reaction, Azul is definitely glad he told them. They're very supportive and tell him he can rely on them if he needs to. Also Mrs. Ashengrotto about to march into NRC and kick Crowleys ass for letting this overblot happen in the first place
Azul's mum would take cute couple pics of you two and have them as her wallpaper
While it went well, Azul is very exhausted after this whole ordeal so expect him to fall asleep in your arms, clutching onto you very tightly and pressing his face into your shoulder. He's also very proud he gets to introduce you as his partner to people. Azul gives you a very soft and thankful smile and presses multiple gentle, appreciative kisses to your lips while whispering "i love you" and "good night my dear" in between them

Couple shared flat where Fraser attacked Matt with a knife and a hot frying pan
Matt suffered cuts to his face as well as burns to his back and woke up in hospital
Now he is speaking out to raise awareness about issue of male domestic violence
A man has revealed how his controlling ex-partner launched a ferocious attack on him, slashing him across the face and battering him with a red-hot frying pan.
Domestic abuse survivor, Matt Kite, 55, was victim to Helen Fraser's violent temper which left him scarred for life.
One of the stab wounds on his face just missed severing a main artery.
In April, Fraser, 52, was handed a 20-month suspended sentence after admitting wounding with intent at Lewes Crown Court in April.
Now Matt, from Hailsham, East Sussex, is speaking out to raise awareness of male domestic violence.
Matt says: 'For years, Helen made my life a living hell. Every morning, I didn't know what I'd wake up to.
'She had an awful temper and would make me feel worthless. Her sentence is appalling. I'm sure if a man would have inflicted the same violence on a woman, they'd see jail time.
'I just want other men to know they're not alone and not to be ashamed to speak out against their abusers.'
Matt first met Fraser when they were children. It wasn't until years later in 2012 that they reconnected over Facebook. In November 2015, the pair went on their first date and hit it off.
Matt says: 'At first, Helen was a ray of sunshine. I'd spend every weekend with her and we got on like a house on fire.'
But when Matt moved in with Fraser three years later, everything changed.
Matt says: 'Helen would yell at me if I hadn't done the washing up and nothing was ever good enough for her.'
Soon, Matt quit his job to be Fraser's full-time carer, as she had mobility issues.
During the day, he'd drive her around to run errands and at night he'd cook dinner.
Matt says: 'Over time, Helen made me feel worthless and would complain if I went out to see friends and family. She'd call me useless and wore me down. Eventually, I fell into depression.'
In the last year of their relationship, Fraser began drinking heavily - sometimes up to 15 cans of beer a day.
By this point the couple were sleeping in separate rooms.
Then, one day, in August 2019, Fraser complained about the mess in the house, so Matt went to bed.
He says: 'The next thing I remember was Helen on top of me, straddling me. Her weight crushed down on me. Then I saw a glimmer of silver. She was holding a six-inch knife. Terrified, I managed to wrestle it out of her hand.'
Moments later, Fraser stumbled off the bed and ran out of the room.
While she was gone, Matt hid the knife in a sock drawer, hoping that would be the end of it.
But soon after, Fraser returned clutching a serrated kitchen knife.
Matt says: 'Before I could act, she lunged at me, slicing at my face.
'As the blade tore through my skin, pain shot through me. I screamed at her and put my hands up to protect my face.'
Eventually Matt managed to fight Fraser off and she fled.
Bizarrely, Fraser returned a few minutes later and apologised, telling Matt she loved him.
In shock, Matt crawled into bed and passed out with horrific injuries.
The next morning, he woke up dazed.
He says: 'I was barely able to get out of bed, so spent the day dozing. Helen came into the room and offered to make me a fry -up. But something didn't feel right.'
Suddenly, Fraser appeared brandishing a red-hot frying pan.
Matt jumped out of bed and Fraser swung the pan at his face, knocking him to the floor. He says: 'I yelled out in pain as it hit my head. Then she smashed it across my bare back. I felt the hot metal scorch my skin. It was excruciating.'
Matt fell unconscious and woke to a police officer at his side in Worthing Hospital.
He informed Matt that after her attack, Fraser had called 999 and was taken into custody.
Matt says: 'The police officer told me I was lucky to be alive as the knife wound on my forehead was just millimetres from a major artery. I couldn't believe she'd nearly killed me.'
After receiving stitches and dressings for his burns, Matt was discharged.
At first, he was hesitant to press charges as he wanted to forget about the incident. But the police told him they would prosecute anyway and he agreed to testify.
Matt says: 'I knew Helen needed to be punished for what she'd done. But when the police charged her, she denied attacking me. I was disgusted.'
In April this year, Helen Fraser, 52, admitted to wounding with intent and was handed a 20-month suspended sentence at Lewes Crown Court.
Matthew says: 'Her sentence was a joke. She could have killed me. NO ABUSER , NO MATTTER THEIR SEX , SHOULD GET AWAY WITH VIOLENCE. Helen was such a toxic person I'm glad she's out of my life.
'Now I'm in a healthy relationship with a kind, caring woman who treats me as an equal. I hope I never see Helen's face again.'
She attacked Matt with a knife and a hot frying pan. Matt suffered cuts to his face as well as burns to his back and woke up in hospital.

let's talk about s02e08: the sins of the father.
let's talk about how this could've been a pivotal point in arthur's character arc, if the writers of this show weren't fucking cowards.
let's talk about how it was completely unfair on merlin's part to lie to arthur, because arthur deserved the truth goddamnit and it wasn't merlin's place to take that away from him.
of course, this is later justified by merlin saying that he knows arthur and that he wouldn't be able to live with himself or the guilt of it if he had gone ahead and killed his father. and of course, like every other potentially life-changing event, all of this is never mentioned by the show again.
magic is damned even further in arthur's eyes, uth*r threatens everyone who knows the truth into silence, vaguely implies that he's totally chill with his son fucking his manservant as long as they're all of the same anti-magic ideals, the episode ends in all smiles.
but whew! at least arthur's been protected from the harsher sides of reality, once again! god forbid this character gains any sense of self-awareness!
my point is, if all of this was to keep arthur from killing daddykins bc it would weigh on his delicate conscience, to preserve the Goodness Of His Character As A Man And King, why the fuck should merlin have to lie to him about it?
consider, instead of:
Morgause is lying! She's an enchantress. She tricked you. That was not your mother you saw. That was an illusion. Everything...everything your mother said to you...those were Morgause's words.
we could have had something along the lines of:
What your father did was wrong, Arthur, but is this man the man you want to be? The king you want to be? Would you be able to ascend the throne even as your father's blood glistens, still fresh, on your sword? Would you be able to live with yourself if you made this decision?
if he kills his darling father anyway, honestly, Good For Him. he has every right to. uth*r went through with a dangerous spell despite knowing the risks, then commited genocide in its name whilst lying about his reason as to why.
uth*r has commited genocide.
he is not a good king or father either, as proven several times throughout the show. he deserves no mercy, no pity.
but the choice should've been arthur's to make. this scene should've been a testament to arthur's character.
if he kills daddy dearest anyways but then feels Super Guilty about it later, we know he wouldn't have made a good king. you can't head a country when you're prone to making drastic decisions without thinking them through bc you were throwing pissy fit at the time.
so if he still goes through with it, he must not been shown to regret it.
but say he does let uth*r live. maybe for whatever love remains for the man who raised him. but he renounces him as his king, as his father.
arthur starts publicly going against his policies and decisions. bc if uth*r could have been so wrong about this alone, what else is he wrong about? arthur refuses to carry out his orders if he believes it’s against the interests of the people.
raising taxes? how about No. oh, he can’t knight commoners? just Try and stop him. he learns to trust in the counsel of merlin, gwen, morgana, people who we know interact direct directly with the citizens of camelot and want what’s best for them; builds his own circle. he routinely breaks out prisoners from the dungeons he believe have been punished unjustly.
especially the people who use magic. he openly speaks out against his father and his persecution of it.
uth*r can try and stop him, alright. but there is a clear rift in the kingdom now, two distinct factions. those who believe in the king that arthur will be, and those who believe their loyalty is still to the current monarch.
and look at these people, from the execution scene from s01e01:
Tumblr media
look at their faces (and also hnfvbdjh colin morgan and his obscene fucking cheekbones jesus christ). they don't seem to appreciate uth*r saving them from the evils of magic much. how many of them have lost their friends and family to his crusade? how many of them remember a time when magic was still allowed in camelot and the kingdom flourished?
these people will stand with arthur pendragon.
yeah. the ones who still believe in uth*r’s authority are few and far in between. and they know where they can shove it.
arthur learns. about magic, about its history, the old religion. merlin finally reveals his magic to him, so does morgana. he goes to the druids and he falls to his knees and he begs for their forgiveness. morgause begrudgingly allies herself with him, seeing his determination to right his father’s mistakes. he still struggles with the little boy within him who just wants his only parent’s approval, sometimes. but he is slowly but surely becoming his own man.
arthur becomes king long before he takes the throne. uth*r is forced to watch, a meaningless figurehead, as everything he worked to achieve comes undone at the hands of his own son. no attempts to make the viewers sympathise with him. he is angry and miserable and wasting away and there is nothing he can do about it; and it’s exactly what he fucking deserves.
and merlin? merlin finally realises kilgharrah’s word isn’t gospel. morgana is redeemed before she ever loses herself. but they must learn to trust each other again, bc merlin left her to face her fear and self-loathing alone when she needed someone more than ever (you might be cute, merlin, but not enough to get away with THAT). he finds himself taking young sorcerers who don’t know how to control their power under his wing (gilli, daegal, oh god the endless opportunities here), including mordred. MORGAUSE TEACHING MERLIN AND MORGANA MAGIC.
he and arthur are equals now, partners in destiny; the world is theirs.
and for the love of god, give me villains whose entire personality and motivations don’t boil down to I Hate Uth*r Pendragon And Also His Son.
give me kings who are afraid of camelot’s growing power, give me bandits and slave traders who realise they have no place in arthur and merlin’s albion. give me uth*r apologists scrambling to maintain their position in court, hell, give me anarchist organisations if that’s what it takes to spice things up a little.
give me the golden age of albion we were promised.
of course, all of this requires characters acknowledging and growing from their mistakes, and making their actions have lasting consequences — so i suppose it really is a bit too much to ask of the writers.

What if s/o ended up rejecting their marriage proposal? Not because there was someone else but instead from not being ready to commit. Maybe since they're still young and s/o doesn't want to hold them back from other opportunities now that the war is over? (whatever house or characters are fine! Thank you~)
[As someone with their own skepticism towards marriage, I can totally see this happening tbh. Those precious babies have basically spent their entire lives up until that point either battling in school or fighting a war, so a few years of me-time are definitely owed to them]- I’ll do BL for this since they were my first run. Hope you like it! 
Dimitri:
Let’s get one thing straight. Dimitri is ready to marry you and become your partner for life. The moment he popped out that ring he laid himself bare to you. He’s yours, and wants you to be his. 
Upon rejection he’ll be hurt, but he also won’t fight you. It is your decision how to spend the rest of your days after the war. By Sothis you’ve earned that right at least after everything that’s happened. 
It’s when you bring up the “holding him back,” issue where he’ll rebuttal. That familiar glint of distress will bypass him at the words. You could never. Hell, your presence alone shrouds his world in light and he makes sure that you know it before going your separate ways. Be it through a sweet kiss, or words of affirmation; he’ll do it all.
“My beloved...I will wait for you. I will always be waiting for you” 
He’s already lost so much, but he won’t lose you. He’ll wait as long as you need to feel comfortable.
He keeps the ring safe at all times in a pocket sewn into his cloak
From then on he won’t bring up marriage again until you do first. And when is happens? Get ready for him to whip out that bad boi all over again
 Ashe: 
For once he isn’t a stuttering mess. This is supposed to be a happy moment...so why aren’t you smiling? 
He came into the goddess tower entirely prepared for rejection, but that didn’t make it hurt any less 
Well, until you elaborated further. Ashe may be awkward but he is no fool. He knows where you’re coming from, and is happy you’re sharing how you feel. 
“If you want to wait, then we can wait,” would be his immediate response. He’d extend his arms out for a hug and wait for your initiative to respect your boundaries. If you accept he’s over the moon
Going slow doesn’t mean it won’t ever happen. This is a chance to treat you like the goddess you are in his eyes. From then on he’s sure to properly court you like he would have done if the war never happened
Dates, flowers, strolls in the woods, etc. He puts his knowledge of romance novels to use
One day you both will be wed, but for now he’ll appreciate the little things you do together. As long as you love each other then that’s what counts
Felix: 
The main reason he popped the question is because a life without you is one that he doesn’t want to live
I won’t sugarcoat this. When you reject him he gets upset. The goal of this was to ensure you’ll be in each others lives...but now what? Are you saying that he’s not good enough to share your life with?
He doesn’t say anything when you reject him(which is what scares you the most)
All you can glimpse is how his eyes glaze over, and that familiar scowl paint his lips
Felix storms off immediately to go let off steam before he says something he’ll regret
Leaves so fast that he drops the ring. 
Panics later when he can’t find it, searches for two days, and naturally concludes that you were the one to pick it up after asking around
You’re the one to approach him to return it. Naturally, as Felix does, he gets snappy 
“I don’t need your pity,” he says. It takes everything out of you to get him to listen beyond the rejection. Upon hearing that you just want to wait he calms down. 
He tries to play off his stubborn behavior but you see through it, just like you always have. You’ll still take him after that childish display, right?...right?
Dedue: 
Dedue is...discouraged. Who wouldn’t be after being rejected? 
It doesn’t show much though. He’s the type to kind of nestle those personal feelings down until no one is around 
Hope still remains though. Just as with the others, he knows that waiting does not mean forever. For now he will stay by his highness’ side while you take the time to find your place in the world
Dimitri actually takes the news harder than Dedue. He was certain that you to were going to be wed, and that Dedue would finally have the peaceful life he deserved 
After explaining the situation thoroughly he is happy for you both, and even offers to give Dedue as much time as he wants off to spend with you 
You both still go see the flowers of Duscur together, just as planned. That time is a memory he holds precious to his heart, and it made him come to realize how nice slowly learning about each other can be 
While not often, when you both take excursions together your bonds do grow. He loves when you share stories of the places you visit, and in turn learning more about you as a person. 
Sylvain: 
He’s been there and done that with commitment insecurities 
By far the most understanding of your situation out of all the lions. He’s lived with the fear that people would want him only for his crest his whole life. In all honestly, he’s relieved that you’re one to take things slow
There isn’t even a misunderstanding between you two. He waits till you’re entirely done talking to digest your answer. 
Hey, it’s better than flat rejection <~{Sylvain’s thought process}
“So...this means there’s still a chance?Yes!” his enthusiasm after being told no shocks you to the core
He’ll respect your wishes always. If you feel that you need time to find yourself before committing to him then he wouldn’t dream of stopping you
When you are ready to spend your lives together he will happily go flaunt to all his friends that he’s a taken man. That’s just his style.
Each and every day you spend together only makes him want to marry you more. When the time is right he will do everything in his power to ensure that you don’t regret having him at your side. 
 Ingrid: 
After the loss of Glenn her heart is fragile, but not glass 
She will be happy in all honesty. As long as you both care about each other then she could care less about putting a label on it 
It’s just that her family says otherwise, you know? She’s going to have to produce an heir at some point
But hey...some point doesn’t have to be now. She may be a knight by title but that doesn’t mean her dream ends here
While you’re off exploring the vast horizons of the world she’ll be off doing what she believes is right. From stabilizing the Galetea household, to aiding in the renovation for Faerghus. Just because the war is over doesn’t mean her job is
When you both do decide to settle down she’ll be genuinely happy. It will be when you both take time for yourselves, and can maybe not almost get killed every day 
Annette:
 Annette will probably shed a few tears post-confession, so be prepared. These are tears of happiness though. You do care about her, and you do want to stay with her even if it is not how she pictured it 
It may not be a proposal, but maybe one day???
“R-really? You mean it?” She’d say when you assure her that you share her feelings, but want to take things slow
She might playfully slap you when you express your views of holding her back
Yes she has potential but so do you. Never EVER think that she wants anyone else, or that she views you as baggage 
No matter where you go, what you do, or whatever happens in the world: Annette will always be in contact. She’ll send letters if you’re far, visit if you’re near, and don’t you ever forget it.
“Hello! I hope that you’re safe and eating well! I miss you so much-” Most letters start like this. She’s a worry-wart. 
Mercedes: 
Mercedes is a well-rounded person. Due to this she’ll most likely know how you feel before you even say anything. It’s a gift I tell you
Out of all the Lion’s she’ll be the one to suggest a courtship and time apart instead of you. She doesn’t expect a proposal, but will still express her feelings 
She has her own goals to fulfill now that the main fighting is over. While she’s in good health she wants to help people, so it doesn’t rub her wrong if you want to leave 
“Promise me to take care of yourself, okay” despite this she will always worry 
A proper courtship is in order for you two. She’ll bake you sweets, and you’ll prep the tea. When you both have downtime it’s like magic. Nothing beats getting to know each other without tomorrow’s battle hanging over your heads 
Just...don’t entirely leave. Even if you both are waiting it’s important to ensure each other feels validated. That goes for all relationships, not just yours with Mercedes

For the AU headcanon ask: Bookstore/Fake Dating(?) AU. Yennefer friends don't stop bugging her since she's the only one in their group without a partner or overall in a serious relationship. Losing her patience she just blurts out Tissaia's name, the cute bookstore owner near her flat that's always nice to Yen. Everyone wants to meet her.
- Most of the time, she can handle the questions; Triss' gentle enquiries, Sabrina's pointed barbs, Jaskier's teasing. Why's she not dating anyone? Why has there been nobody serious since Istredd? When is she going to get out there and actually look for someone? She fends them off as best she can with trite, cliched responses. But one day she's fed up with it all. "If you must know, I'm seeing someone, okay? It's very new, so we've been keeping it quiet, but I've been seeing her for a couple of months. There, happy now?"
- Well, of course they're not happy with just that. They press and prod and cajole until she's forced to come up with a name. God only knows why Tissaia De Vries comes out of her mouth. She barely knows the woman! And yet, when she's picturing this perfect, cosy, loving little relationship she's invented, Tissaia's is the face that keeps appearing in it. 
- (Tissaia owns the bookshop round from Yen's flat - they'd met one day when Yen had locked herself out in the rain and needed to shelter somewhere while she waited for a locksmith. Tissaia had given her a cup of tea and a towel to dry her hair and told her to sit in one of the comfy armchairs up the back. Since then, Yen had made it a habit to drop by and purchase a book or two whenever she could - kindness should be repaid, after all.)
- To Yen's horror, Triss knows Tissaia. She's been to that very same bookshop and is delighted that Yen has 'finally chosen someone sensible and mature'. Sabrina seems unconvinced by Yen's story - she's always been more perceptive than is good for her. And when she suggests Yen brings Tissaia along the next time they all get together, there's definite malice behind her smile. Jaskier and Triss think this is a marvellous idea and Yen finds herself agreeing to let them meet her entirely fake girlfriend.
- Yen goes to the bookshop the following day, nervous as all hell. Tissaia greets her warmly, as usual, and asks what she's looking for today. Yen tries to laugh and says "A girlfriend?". Tissaia tilts her head with a smile. "Hmmm, not sure I've got any of those in stock right at this moment, but I can check through the back?" Yen's laugh is real this time and she explains her predicament. Tissaia listens intently. "So, you need me to pretend to be your girlfriend in order to dupe your friends into thinking you're in a relationship so that they'll leave you alone, yes?" "Uh, yeah, that about covers it." "Fine. But I expect dinner out of this deal."
- Yennefer has never been more nervous in her life than when she goes to pick Tissaia up for their 'date'. When Tissaia opens the door and her hair is down, Yen's brain almost stops working.
- They spend the taxi journey coming up with a vague backstory that's not all that different from how they actually met.
- They meet up with Triss and Sabrina and Jaskier in a pub. Tissaia recognises Triss and they immediately fall into a conversation about some book Triss has been reading and Yen can see Sabrina is still suspicious. Just as she's panicking and thinking about exposing the whole thing, Tissaia comes over, goes up on her tiptoes, and kisses her lips gently. "Do you want to go and get us a drink, darling? I'm quite happy here getting to know your friends."
- Yen stumbles off to the bar, realises she has no fucking idea what Tissaia drinks, opts for the safe option of white wine for both of them and returns before Sabrina can grill Tissaia too much. When she returns, Tissaia's holding court, telling the story about Yen getting locked out in the rain, like it's some fucking meet cute in a romantic comedy and Yen wishes, so hard, that this was actually her life.
- They spend a very pleasant evening in the beer garden, drinking and laughing. Tissaia learns more about Yennefer than Yen is strictly happy with, but it's all good. It's made even better when it starts to get a bit breezy later on and Tissaia moves closer and wraps her arms around Yen for warmth.
- They say their goodbyes to Triss and the others much later than Yen intended, and as they walk away, Tissaia takes her hand. And she doesn't let go of it even when they're out of sight of the others.
- At Tissaia's door, Yen is trying to come up with the right words to say 'thank you for being my fake girlfriend for the evening' when Tissaia speaks instead: "You know, you didn't have to go to such lengths to ask me out, Yennefer. I'd have said 'yes' without all of these shenanigans." Yen has no idea what to say to that, so she just kisses her instead.
- On their next date, Yen takes Tissaia for that dinner she promised her.
- They eventually come clean to the others. They find it hilarious and tease Yen forever.

Just Ed and Oz thing’s I think correlate rather nicely with Freddy and Jason. For fun.
Jason is Penguin because he’s arguably the most popular Slasher (Who doesn't look at a hockey mask now and think at some level about horror??), was close with his parents / mother (Pamela is a composition of Gertrude and Fish) and is pretty cute some most of the time. Also! Sex appeal doesnt work on either of them (Referring to Ivy's perfume not working on Oz)
And Freddy is Riddler because they’re both bastards who are extra and theatrical. And *cough* they both killed their first romantic partner. I think the same way, too??
As far as Oz being the more experienced killer, F13 did come out 4 years before ANOES, and strictly speaking, Jason was out of 'normal' society a looooong time before Freddy entered the dream realm. (Jason: 11 years old when he started living in the forest. In fact, Oz was so cute and timid in the first season that you could call him a 'Baby' penguin. Or 'child' penguin, like what Jason was // Freddy: 26-7 when he died. You could consider the time Freddy was secrely jilling kids in the basement akin to Ed's season two 'Villain Puberty')
Okay, on to fun stuff! XD
Penguins sassiness: Jason making the 'Talking' hand gesture at Freddy during an interview.
Olga / Roy (Maybe?) *About Jason's relationship with /towards Freddy*: "I dont understand why Jason likes him so much."
Jason befriends a ferral racoon and names it Freddy. (= Oz getting a doggo and calling it Edward)
Jason communicates that Freddy’s hat is stupid and Freddy gets overly defensive. “wHAT?!” 
Penguins / Jason: *When Freddy gets far too close* (Then you know) You're standing too close. (*Or in Jasons language: Flinging Freddy across camp*)
Okay, the part in Gotham when Riddler loses his smarts and 'befriends' (Manipulates) Butch / Solomon Grundy into being his friend and protecting him so he doesnt get killed by criminals in the city because he knows that without his brains, he will be an easy target for people that already hate him and want him dead? In this version, Freddy (Who is stuck in the real world in a mortal form) manipulates Bubba, Jasons non-blood brother, the same way because he's big, 'dumb' and easy to control with some 'kindness' and a smile; Freddy uses Bubba for protection from other Horror Villains LIKE Jason who he antagonised when he was powerful, by telling him that they're friends. Does that make sense? XD Aha
At this time when Freddy is stuck in the real world, he he finds the perfect living for himself by starring an underground, illegal fight club with Bubba as his star fighter. Freddy often dresses up as Jason and mocks him.
Okay moving on completely from that.
Um?? Riddler / Freddy setting up a whole horrible delusion of Penguin / Jason’s parent coming back to life and tormenting him?? Sounds pretty familiar. 
Jason actually believing he’s sane after all the electroshock therapy and stuff in Arkham (Or whatever our Horror Villain equivalent is. Hell?) like ‘Oh I am sane- I have a certificate!!’ and Freddy knows damn well his crazy ass is a pyschopath like ‘I’m... sane? Are you sure about that?’ 
Okay, Freddy actually thinking he suceeded in killing Jason finally, and then proceeding to have a hallucinatory bisexual panic because Jason’s gone and now he has no ‘worthy’ enemies. 
(Alice can be Lucius!) 
-jaSON GETS A LITTLE ADOPTED SON LIKE MARTIN. MAYBE BRAHMS??
Riddler! Making! Oz! The paper! Penguin! What I'm saying is mayyyybe Freddy can repair Jason's machete or something?
Some organisation like the Court of Owls (Maybe a group who are hell bent om destroying all Slashers) put a chip in Freddys brain so they can control him and have him do large-scale terrible things to other Slashers (Instead of the bit where the Riddler is made to bomb the hospital place) because who would believe that Freddy didnt do that on his own accord? He would.
Them working together to get out of Court Of Owls Jail / Hell (Like they were gonna in one of the proposed FVSJ 2 plots with Pinhead involved). They agree on an hour of grace period where they wont try and kill each other, so that they can successfully get out... but of course they both try to skip to the killing bit... multiple times.
Antagonizing each other like literal children in said Court Of Owls Jail / Hell.
Jerome is Michael- the third part of the 3 main Gotham / Horror villains who both Jason and Freddy are both, understandably, a bit concerned about and decide to work together to try and get rid of him.  
(This picture: Swap their positions cuz Jason large and Freddy hands-on about things)
Tumblr media
(This picture: Jason / Penguin is of course the sort of more composed one when death comes from above and Freddy / Riddler is prepared to push Jason in front of him like a human shield)
Tumblr media
Finding out Barbara / Tiffany (Dont have amothe colour for her unfortunately) is having a baby:
Jason: *Signing* So who's the lucky father??
Freddy: *Silence, thinking: Oh Jesus fucking christ a child*
Jason being around Michael much more then Freddy ever has (In fandom).
This picture: Swap the expressions / Reactions. Jason is panicked, slughtly concerned and terrified and Freddy is disgusted / horrified by Tiffany going into labor.
Tumblr media
Omg XD Penguin having Victor freeze Riddler and keeping him in the Ice Lounge: Jason maybe keeping Freddy's head at the end of FVSJ (If you are to assume Jason won that and that Freddy is now just some kinda conscious zombie head now) and using it as like, an annoying paperweight or audible decoration. Out of pure spite. We know Jason has it in him- he might not be as mischievious as Michael is, but he's absolutely got it in him.

ohhhh i just blew my own mind. consider this: six of crows batfam au. not sure how it'd work but they're fully qualified and the banter would be insane.
You just blew my mind too, anon! 😲
Tumblr media
This is a really great idea, and I think we need to get fic writers and artists on this ASAP! I swear not all my headcanons are gonna be this long, but here’s just my take on what this would look like:
Barbara Gordon: She and her father traveled to Gotham to make their fortune after Barbara’s mother passed away, and the family farm went under. A mob boss calling himself the Joker spotted a pair of easy marks and moved in. Barbara’s father was killed, and Barbara herself took a bullet to the leg. She walks with a permanent limp now, and relies on a weighted cane topped with a pair of bat wings.
Vowing revenge on the Joker, Barbara joined a Gotham City gang called the Signals (Bat signal? Eh? Eh? Yeah, I feel like I should come up with a better name…)  and quickly rose through the ranks. She always keeps her face hidden behind a masquerade mask, just in case Joker or any of his people might recognize her (he’d know her face, but not her name), and the act itself becomes a local legend. People can’t decide why she hides her face, and it only adds to her mystique. Especially once she starts going by the moniker ‘Oracle’. As in, ‘All-seeing’. Once she was powerful enough amongst Gotham’s criminal community, she formed her own inner circle within the Signals starting with a sharpshooting street kid she recruited and a Suli acrobat she rescued from a brothel.
Jason Todd: A stray kid from the streets of Gotham. He knows his way around a gun, and has a mind almost as sharp as his wit. After falling into heavy debt with Joker’s gang, he resorted to thievery, and even tried to steal Barbara’s cane to earn the money he needed. He almost got away with it too, but Barbara caught him in the act, and offered him a job. Work for her, and the Signals would have his back. Turn down the generous offer, and she’d kill him. Jason, surprisingly, agreed.
Dick Grayson: Grew up in a family of Suli acrobats, performing all over the world. One day, he and his little sister Cassandra were kidnapped from their family’s tent, and sold into slavery in Gotham, far away from their home. Dick went to a brothel, and Cassandra was sold elsewhere. One day, he ran into Barbara on one of her trips to collect protection money from the brothel’s owner, Tony Zucco, and impressed her with his stealth and ability to read people. (Much like Inej’s backstory in SOC) Barbara bought Dick from Zucco, and recruited him into the Signals, giving him the choice to join or walk away freely (deciding that the man had suffered enough.) Dick decided to join up, on the condition that Barbara help him find his little sister. Barbara agreed, and took him on as her right hand man and personal spy. On the streets, he’s known as the Nightwing, a name that earns almost as much fear and respect as ‘Barbara Gordon–the All-seeing Oracle’. Dick has since fallen head-over-heels for her, but Barbara’s only loves are money and revenge. (Or, at least, that’s what she tells herself…)
The trio received a tip on a job from Councilman Dent. A dangerous endeavor involving a highly-addictive drug that can supposedly grant humans ‘meta powers’ like the Grisha, and rescuing the only man who knows how to make it from the clutches of the Al Ghul clan. The man’s name? Bruce Wayne. The score? Thirty Million Dollars. The stakes are high; no one has ever crossed the Al Ghuls and survived. But if they do nothing, the metagene drug will be released on the world–and worst of all, they won’t get paid.
But first, they need to put together a good crew. Barbara’s first choice is
Stephanie Brown: A bright and bubbly Grisha Heartrender (The SOC equivalent of a metahuman with the ability to manipulate the human body at a molecular level) with an enormous love for waffles. (I thought Steph and Nina were way to similar to overlook!) She works for the Signals as a healer and assassin, but relies on the gang for protection. Currently, she’s on the run from the Al Ghuls–vicious Grisha killers who believe that Grisha power needs to be controlled or else wiped off the face of the earth. She had a run-in with one of them, but managed to escape…landing squarely in the Signals’ cross-hairs. Barbara has been hiding her, and the two share a strained relationship. Stephanie only agrees to help on one condition: her friend/partner, Duke Thomas, gets safe passage away from Gotham.
Duke Thomas: Duke wasn’t sure how he ended up in this situation. One moment, he’s living a quiet, normal life, and the next thing he knows, the mob leader Joker is extorting his family for everything they own. After the mobster kills his parents, Duke is left adrift on the streets of Gotham, never a safe place to be when you’re a lone Grisha. He was found and picked up by Stephanie Brown, and together, they do odd jobs for the Signals in exchange for shelter from the other gangs. All he wants is to get out of Gotham, but he’s willing to see one more job through if it means finally escaping this cursed city.
With the two Grisha on board, Barbara, Dick and Jason have one more potential recruit to pick up:
Timothy Drake: As the Signals’ best demolitions expert and chemist, Tim makes a valuable asset. But as the estranged ward of Councilman Dent, he makes even more valuable collateral. After running away from his legal guardian, Tim tried to make it on his own in the streets and alleyways of Gotham. He lasted about a day and a half, before he was cornered by a pack of thugs working for the Joker. Lucky for him, Jason and Dick were both in the neighborhood, and managed to fend off the attackers. They took the younger boy under their wings (after voting on whether or not to take him for everything he owned. Dick voted ‘no’. Jason voted ‘maybe’.) Barbara recognized him immediately, and decided to keep him around. Only so she’d have something on Dent. Not because she developed a soft spot for the wide-eyed little society brat. No. Not at all…
The last member of the crew arrives a bit later, but he proves to be every bit as valuable:
Damian Al Ghul: The heir to the Al Ghul clan, Damian was cast out of the family for showing mercy to a Grisha he’d been hunting in Gotham. Thanks to his quick thinking, Stephanie was able to get away. But when she turned him over to the police, he was unceremoniously thrown in prison. His family stripped him of his assassin rank, and essentially disowned him. But no walls could hold the pint-sized Al Ghul for long, and he escaped with a bitter mission to take revenge on the blonde Grisha. However, he seriously underestimated the people backing her up, and was beaten quickly. Barbara recognized a valuable asset when she saw one–an ‘in’ with the Al Ghuls, if you will–and offered him a deal. Run this one job against his family, and he’d have his pardon and safe passage to anywhere his heart desired.
But unbeknownst to the Signals, they aren’t the only gang after Mr. Wayne and the valuable information he holds. The Black Sirens, the Rogues and the Owl Court are all gunning for the same prize. Plus one more mysterious player…
Just kidding. It’s:
Cassandra Cain-Grayson: Raised in a Suli acrobat troupe, she and her brother Dick were kidnapped and separated. Cassandra was sold to the notorious Al Ghul family, and forced to begin training as one of their assassins. She has been tasked with protecting Bruce Wayne and his secrets with her life. If she can manage to destroy the thieves who are out to steal him, the head of the family, Ra’s Al Ghul, will grant her her freedom. And at last she will be able to seek out her brother and reunite them with their parents…
Aaaand, there you have it! I totally agree with you, anon, that the banter would be absolutely golden. You’d have gems straight out of the book, like:
Barbara: “Stephanie, love, always hit where the mark isn’t looking.”
Tim: “Who’s mark?”
-
Duke: “You have no finesse! No technique!”
Jason: “Sure I do. I practice the art of ‘pull his shirt over his head and punch till you see blood’.”
-
Steph [smirking]: “I can hear the change in Barbara’s breathing whenever she looks at you.”
Dick: “You…you can?”
Steph: “Mm-hmm. It catches every time, like she’s never seen you before.”
-
Jason: “ Usually people don’t start hating each other until a week into the job, but you two have a head start.”
[Steph and Damian glare at each other]
-
Duke: “She’s going to get us all killed!”
Dick: “Nah. Statistically, she’ll only get some of us killed.”
-
Barbara: “Who’d deny a poor cripple her cane?”
Damian: “If the cripple is you, then any man with sense.”
-
Steph: “ If any of you survive, make sure I have an open casket. The world deserves a few more moments with this face.”
-
Jason: “If the Joker kills us all, I’m going to get Tim’s ghost to teach my ghost how to play the flute just so that I can annoy the hell out of your ghost.”
Barbara: “ I’ll just hire Damian’s ghost to kick your ghost’s ass.”
Damian: “ My ghost won’t associate with your ghost.”
Honestly, this was too fun. Maybe I should write a fic on this??? 🤔
Btw, if any of you haven’t read the book yet, definitely give it a try! You won’t regret it!

How to recognize domestic abuse and react
10% of people are in an abusive relationship. 20 to 40% of women have been raped. 60 to 80% of people have been sexually harassed at one point in their live.
TALK ABOUT IT. IT SAVE LIFES. AVOIDING THE SUBJECT GIVE MORE POWER TO ABUSERS.
Because life is not about physically functioning, but about not having to fear what the next day will bring, and feeling respected and respecting others.
I've found this article on mayoclinic.org. I've modified it to fit all genders (since it was mainly talking about men abused) and add others things, but otherwise it's still mostly the same.
"Abusive relationships always involve an imbalance of power and control. An abuser uses intimidating, hurtful words and behaviors to control his or her partner.
It might not be easy to recognize domestic violence against men. Early in the relationship, your partner might seem attentive, generous and protective in ways that later turn out to be controlling and frightening. Initially, the abuse might appear as isolated incidents. Your partner might apologize and promise not to abuse you again.
You might be experiencing domestic violence if your partner:
Calls you names, insults you or puts you down
Prevents you from going to work or school
Stops you from seeing family members or friends -its called isolation and it stop you from getting help. It's really really dangerous if you let it be
Tries to control how you spend money, where you go or what you wear
Acts jealous or possessive or constantly accuses you of being unfaithful
Gets angry when drinking alcohol or using drugs
Threatens you with violence or a weapon
Hits, kicks, shoves, slaps, chokes or otherwise hurts you, your children or your pets
Forces you to have sex or engage in sexual acts against your will
Blames you for his or her violent behavior or tells you that you deserve it
If you're gay, bisexual or transgender, you might also be experiencing domestic violence if you're in a relationship with someone who:
Threatens to tell friends, family, colleagues or community members your sexual orientation or gender identity
Tells you that authorities won't help a gay, bisexual or transgender person
Tells you that leaving the relationship means you're admitting that gay, bisexual or transgender relationships are deviant
Justifies abuse by telling you that you're not "really" gay, bisexual or transgender
Says that men are naturally violent"
Don't listen. Nobody have a say on who is in your bed. What is happening in your bedroom stay in your bedroom. It's private. If the person/s is/are in age and consenting it's nobody's fucking business. Even your family's or your friend's.
"Don't take the blame
You may not be sure whether you're the victim or the abuser. It's common for survivors of domestic violence to act out verbally or physically against the abuser, yelling, pushing or hitting him or her during conflicts. The abuser may use such incidents to manipulate you, describing them as proof that you are the abusive partner.
You may have developed unhealthy behaviors. Many survivors do. That doesn't mean you are at fault for the abuse.
If you're having trouble identifying what's happening, take a step back and look at larger patterns in your relationship. Then, review the signs of domestic violence. In an abusive relationship, the person who routinely uses these behaviors is the abuser. The person on the receiving end is being abused."
Being abused do not make you weak. It mean that someone, one day, decided to not respect your consent, your statue of a living being and make your life hell. If you want to, you can get your life back. It will not be the same, you'll have changed, but you'll do. And you'll be happy.
"Even if you're still not sure, seek help. Intimate partner violence causes physical and emotional damage — no matter who is at fault.
Children and abuse
Domestic violence affects children, even if they're just witnesses. If you have children, remember that exposure to domestic violence puts them at risk of developmental problems, psychiatric disorders, problems at school, aggressive behavior and low self-esteem. You might worry that seeking help could further endanger you and your children, or that it might break up your family. Fathers [and mothers] might fear that abusive partners will try to take their children away from them. However, getting help is the best way to protect your children — and yourself."
Don't leave your children. Even to put yourself in security. Take them with you. If you bring the affair to the court, you'll be depicted as hysterical and dangerous to your kids. It's and error to absolutely not do.
"Break the cycle
If you're in an abusive situation, you might recognize this pattern:
Your abuser threatens violence.
Your abuser strikes you.
Your abuser apologizes, promises to change and offers gifts."
The cycle repeats itself. It will not stop, and it will go worse. No-one, even the worse of the criminal, deserves it. Even if the abuser show remorse, it will. not. last. It's either a psychological pathology (and the abuser can only heal far from the victim with a medical team) or it's of pure want to hurt and control. Either way, if you stay, it will only. go. worse.
"Typically the violence becomes more frequent and severe over time.
Domestic violence can leave you depressed, anxious and at increased risk of problems with alcohol or drugs. Because men are traditionally thought to be physically stronger than women, you might be less likely to report domestic violence in your heterosexual relationship due to embarrassment. You might also worry that the significance of the abuse will be minimized because you're a man. Similarly, a man being abused by another man might be reluctant to talk about the problem because of how it reflects on his masculinity or because it exposes his sexual orientation.
If you seek help, you also might confront a shortage of resources for male victims of domestic violence. Health care providers and other contacts might not think to ask if your injuries were caused by domestic violence, making it harder to open up about abuse. You might fear that if you talk to someone about the abuse, you'll be accused of wrongdoing yourself. Remember, though, if you're being abused, you aren't to blame — and help is available.
Start by telling someone about the abuse, whether it's a friend, relative, health care provider or other close contact. At first, you might find it hard to talk about the abuse. However, you'll also likely feel relief and receive much-needed support.
Create a safety plan
Leaving an abuser can be dangerous. Consider taking these precautions.
Call a domestic violence hotline for advice. Make the call at a safe time — when the abuser isn't around — or from a friend's house or other safe location.
Pack an emergency bag that includes items you'll need when you leave, such as extra clothes and keys. Leave the bag in a safe place. Keep important personal papers, money and prescription medications handy so that you can take them with you on short notice.
Know exactly where you'll go and how you'll get there."
If you've been isolated from your old friends and from you family, even if they're mad at you, go to them. If you explain, if they loved you once, they'll take care of you and help you get back your life.
"Protect your communication and location
An abuser can use technology to monitor your telephone and online communication and to track your physical location. If you're concerned for your safety, seek help. To maintain your privacy:
Use phones cautiously. Your abuser might intercept calls and listen to your conversations. He or she might use caller ID, check your cellphone or search your phone billing records to see your complete call and texting history.
Use your home computer cautiously. Your abuser might use spyware to monitor your emails and the websites you visit. Consider using a computer at work, at the library or at a friend's house to seek help.
Remove GPS devices from your vehicle. Your abuser might use a GPS device to pinpoint your location.
Frequently change your email password. Choose passwords that would be impossible for your abuser to guess.
Clear your viewing history." If you want to avoid attracting the attention of your abuser, clear only the things they would see as incriminating.
"Where to seek help
In an emergency, call 911 — or your local emergency number or law enforcement agency." The 911 is an international emergency number. You can use it anywhere in the world and have someone at the other end. "The following resources also can help:
Someone you trust. Turn to a friend, relative, neighbor, co-worker, or religious or spiritual adviser for support.
National Domestic Violence Hotline: 800-799-SAFE (800-799-7233). The hotline provides crisis intervention and referrals to resources.
Your health care provider. Doctors and nurses will treat injuries and can refer you to other local resources.
A counseling or mental health center. Counseling and support groups for people in abusive relationships are available in most communities.
A local court. Your district court can help you obtain a restraining order that legally mandates the abuser to stay away from you or face arrest. Local advocates may be available to help guide you through the process.
Domestic violence against [people] can have devastating effects. Although you may not be able to stop your partner's abusive behavior, you can seek help. Remember, no one deserves to be abused."
[Again]
TALK ABOUT IT. IT SAVE LIFES. AVOIDING THE SUBJECT GIVE MORE POWER TO ABUSERS.
Because life is not about physically functioning, but about not having to fear what the next day will bring, and feeling respected and respecting others.
