No matter how weird the questions are that Neil Gaiman gets (or for the matter we see because he answered them), I would like to remind everyone, that having around 80.000 asks in your inbox gives you a lot to choose from.
Meaning, that Neil Gaiman probably actively chooses from these 80.000 questions what he answers.
So for the love of god, stop bullying the people asking "cringe" questions. They probably didn't expect to get an answer anyways, and Neil chose to answer them.

god THANK YOU for pointing the whole Bryce and Azriel situation. Even tho you needn't to go this hard lol its basic logic!! Bryce lives in another whole universe is desperate to save her mate and brother. She's worried sick for them do you think she will forget about them to what? catch feelings for Azriel? I'm pretty sure the time she's in Velaris she'll try to save her mate and find some answers! LIKE BE SERIOUS FOR A SECOND!!!
Why sjm fandoms have an obsession about fated mates not being mates lmao idk how many times sjm wrote "MATE" in Bryce and Hunts pov the word that everyone keep saying is overused! well honey if she doesn't do that ppl won't believe they're mates! Like now, ppl are reaching with their theories that they're not mates. Same goes about Elain and Lucien so you see... SHE HAS NO OTHER CHOICE bc ppl have tendency to go all blind over that word lmao
And what is really amusing is that the arguments are so contradictory.
Bryce and Hunt have chosen one another and as a result, they ended up sharing a mating bond that is similar to what the Fae experience with their mates (scents merging, Hunt going crazy to protect his mate, SJM actually calling them mates/ true mates and all that jazz) yet some in the fandom insist they are not endgame because they believe they are not actual mates as their bond reads somewhat different than the Prythian bonds (which to me makes sense considering they are farther from magic than the ACOTAR characters and neither is 100% fae).
BUT......with Elucien, they'll say that they won't end up together because even though they are actual mates in canon with a bond that snapped and everything, they didn't CHOOSE to be together.
....................................................................................🧐🤦‍♀️
We're damned if we do, damned if we don't.
Somehow Feysands love is valid even though Rhys knew she was his mate almost immediately. No one claims his love for her is lessened because he suspected they were mates from the start.
But Elucien can't fall for one another because then, it's "just because of the bond".
But Bryce and Hunt can't end up staying together because even though they chose one another, their bond came about differently, and that means there's someone else out there she's meant to be with just because she shares a true bond with them.
This fandom is enough to give you a headache some days.
Maybe people need to realize that SJM is simply giving us a little variety in how these bonds all come about.
One is where the female was first enemies with, then friends with, then knew before the male because he thought he had already lost his mate so he was closed off from seeing who was in front of him the whole time.
One is where the male knew first and he hid it from the female until she fell in love with him.
One is where both the male and female suspected something from the get go but it was never confirmed until they chose to be together.
One is where both the male and female had it immediately snap as strangers and SJM created a storyline where neither was ready to deal with their bond so she's temporarily driven them apart.
One is where the male and female never suspected any bond, chose to be with one another after getting to know each other as friends even though they shared a mutual attraction early on, then had their mating bond begin to solidify after committing.
I don't understand why people think SJM is tossing around the word mate for her characters like it's an interchangeable accessory. If SJM wanted multiple mating bonds then why did Jesminda NOT turn out to be Lucien's mate? Why not have his first mate murdered then give him a second mate? Instead, she made it so he was waiting for the bond to snap into place but it never did because she was never actually his mate, Elain was. Why did Rowan only have a fake mating bond with Lyria? Why not allow Lyria to be his first mate, have Maeve coordinate her death only to trap him so that when his second mate came around, she'd still have control over him?
Instead, SJM has written it so these characters only have one actual mate.
No, not every bond looks the same or snaps the same but in the end, if they have an actual bond where the FMC / MMC character as a couple confirms it's a bond on page, that's the game. Bryce loves Hunt so much she feels that he is her mate and even though it came about differently it is still a bond others can scent and that causes a physical reaction in Hunt, shouldn't that be enough? Where another character confirms they are True Mates in the way fae are? Lucien and Elain confirm they feel a thread /bond between them (terminology used by both Nessian and Feysand) and where it is confirmed they both know what the other is to them. Anyone trying to denying those things as fact is someone who is being driven by disappointment because they were hoping for a different outcome rather than using logic. And yeah, it's never fun when the outcome isn't what we wanted but that still doesn't change anything. Team Jacob fans get it.

K so I'm going to take you up on the whole 'if you ever want to talk about the Boys' thing. Because there have been theories running around my head and they just won't stop. SO do you have predictions as to who finds Soldier Boy in s3? My mind is going wild with theories where it could be Vought or Victoria Newman or Butcher and the boys. OOOOO or Mallory???? That could be fun. Who do you think finds Soldier Boy? Or do we know the answer to that already and I just missed it?
Uuuuh, interesting question! I am not too familiar with the comics but after some research I'd guess they at least won't go down that road. It'd mean they'd have to make him a bit of an idiot and he also wouldn't be the original Soldier Boy (I think). That doesn't sound too likely to me. Especially after what Edgar told Homelander about Soldier Boy in season 2.
From what I have gathered from interviews so far it seems like Soldier Boy's been off the radar for quite some time (what happened tho??? I'm fucking curious! That beard!!!). I can't really imagine Vought not knowing what's going on with him, seeing as they are Vought. My best guess is just as good as yours, but I think the most logical theory would be for them to bring him back from "retirement". Maybe he's even been imprisoned by Vought the whole time? Gone mad after WWII? They can't exactly let one of their first and most famous supes wander around, right? Also, why wouldn't anyone know about it, if he was still out there? Too many question, too little information!
I guess he could have taken on a new identity or something like that... Maybe he's even been a silent member of the Curch of the Collective and they've been hiding him? And now that Neuman killed Adana he's coming out of hiding? I mean, Stormfront was a member at one point and they have an obvious connection, so maybe?
I'd love see him being found by Butcher, obviously. Can't wait for their first interaction. Wouldn't really know how that'd come about, though. Really depends on what Butcher's up to between seasons. To be honest, I don't really see this happening. But who knows?
As for Neuman and Mallory, that sounds a little less likely to me. But maybe only because I can't think of an interesting enough plotline there.
With two open spots in The Seven, there's lots to theorize about. I think those'll be filled by Soldier Boy and probably the Crimson Countess. But we'll see.
I'm just spitballing here xD
/edit: Thought about it some more and came to the conclusion that Vought seems to be the most probable theory. I think they're likely to bring him back to keep Homelander in check, seeing as he's going more insane by the minute. It's one of the most popular theories I've seen floating around, anyway.

Hii I have couple of questions for you so hope you don't mind! ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ♡
1) What gojohime moment made you think "lol hello a new ship"?
2) Is Gojo aware of how his behavior affects others?
3) How do you think Utahime's cursed technique works? It's related to singing but still, how do you think it works?
4) When they go out together (Shoko, Utahime, Mei Mei, Yuki, Gojo, Nanami, Kusakabe and Kiyotaka) what are they likely to do at karaoke night?
5) Gojo sees Utahime grumpy most of the time so when he saw her happy and enthusiastic ab baseball game what was his reaction?
6) There's audio drama where Gojo goes to maid cafe which is probably 18+ rated bc Yuji got embarrassed when he read the sign. Now imagine Utahime finding him leaving at the doors. Her reaction?
7) Do you think Utahime ever helped 'babysitting' Megumi and Tsumiki but the kids don't remember? This day gojohime parenting dynamic evolved. How are they functioning as a 'family'?
8) Geto, Shoko, Gojo and Utahime play party games. Of course Geto is the one who knows Gojo the most since they're best friends but how is Utahime doing when it comes to knowing him and vice versa? Bc if they notice things about each other that no one else does they'd probably get teased for it. 😂
9) Was Gojo ever jealous of Kusakabe and Utahime being friendly?
10) Your opinion- does Gojo sleep around or is he secretly a virgin? 🙈
11) If there's a reason for both of them getting angry at each other (yea even Gojo which is hard to imagine) what would it be?
12) Gojo thought beforehand "We never know what might be listening around Utahime, after all. I don't want to think about one of the students being the traitor. This is such a pain." and Utahime cares a lot ab her students, she sounded like such a mom in ep21 haha "For now, let's be glad our students are safe." 🥰 But yea, turns out Mechamaru was the traitor. She must have felt rly bad yk. So what do you think? Did Gojo comfort her in a way?
13) Your theory- how did Utahime get her scar?
14) Do Shoko and Utahime talk ab boys at sleepovers? 👀
15) Yk, it would be rly hypocritical if Gojo slept around while Utahime became let's say 'closer' to Kusakabe for instance and Gojo became jealous bc he doesn't have any right to meddle in other people's business. What would he do to prove that he's better? Would he give up on something? Would he be able to change for her?
1) When I saw a manga panel of them and an artist’s drawing of Gojo touching Uta’s scar. I still remember it vividly until today, and now look where I am. :) 
2.) According to Gege, no. But according to me, he knows but does not awknowledged it. Gojo afterall grew up for himself as the strongest, so it might be hard for him to empathize in some stuff like Yuji does. 3.) I imagine she can summon contracted shaman spirits when she preforms miko ceremonies with her singing. There’s a lot of theory in this, but I would like to think she’s good in sealing techniques. She uses performs ceremonies to trap curses and finish them off with her voice. It’s a mixture of Toge’s CT and shaman ceremonies for exorcism.  4.) The ones who drinks tries to get themselve drunk because of Gojo. Gojo would probably do that with a parfait in hand. Lucky paintbrush.  5.) He’s in love and tries to keep that goofy smile of his but fails. 6.) Utahime would probably pretend that she doesn’t know him. She’s mature, so maybe she’ll not judge him, its his life. But it doesn’t stop fanfictions of her getting slightly hurt and jealous, heheheh.  7.) Utahime is mom, Gojo is brat 1, and the kids are angels. As much as Gojo tries to become a ‘father’ he ends up as the real baby. Tsumiki is close to both of them and finds Gojo funny, while Megumi favors Utahime more. I love this family trope.  8.) Utahime would wing everything about Gojo being annoying. However, she’ll also be suprised from time to time with new information of Gojo. It shows that he’s also still human despite his ‘god-like facade’ and she appreciates that. He’s still a jerk tho.  9.) Why do you think Kusakabe was in the Tokyo School in the first place? It’s because Gojo refuses to let him come near Utahime. So Gojo is stuck with the swordsman and annoys him daily to keep an eye on him. XD 10.) According to some Gege said he’s a manwhore. But there are also diferrent ways how to interpret the translations. For me, he can be both either way. BUT I KNOW UTAHIME WILL BE HIS LAST AND INFINTY.  11.) Gojo not being able to protect Utahime. While Utahime believes she doesn’t need his help.  12.) Maybe he did. It’s normal in their line of work to be betrayed, and I think Utahime already steeled her heart and Gojo’s aware of it. She’s a sorcerer for a long time now, and  it means, she’s also crazy in some way. Her menatlity is just that strong. Cue the Train Scene of her being professional.  13.) When she was going to be promoted as a grade one sorcerer.  14.) Interesting... They’d talk about men but ends up complaining about Gojo (just Uta while Shoko half-listens and remembers Geto). 15.) Is this going to  be a fic? Lol, Gojo in some way is hyprocital. Everyone is. He can change if he wants to, starting by make amends and trying to act as just “Satoru Gojo”, not with all those strongest speech of his. Once Utahime would notice this (she does already) and the rest, you can say he’s changed for the better. BUT IMAGINE THE DRAMA IN A FIC ABOUT THIS. HAHAHAHAH  Thank you for asking, I loved answering this hehehe. I hope you got the answers you want to hear. <3

Exactly. I feel Sus sometimes seeing jikook moments but I'm not hardcore jikooker. I adore their bond, they're pretty close in the group but taekook I didn't felt anything Sus & Tkkrs were annoying to me initially as time passed on I'm laughing at their narratives & tbh their theories became boring too. I think this new chapter shows different side of members wrt work & probably this shipping thing dies down a little? But I didn't get one thing, if members are on camera doing anything it is related to work right? Then why people think as far as dating? & No I'm not homophobic here, I think in a way like it's their profession right why would they bring personal/ private lives infront of millions? something that confuses me n ik I won't get answer 😅! Anyway, your blog is nice, keep going 💜
Right? They are so annoying and yeah, that's so true their theories are boring and repetitive and the worst of it all is that they don't even make sense.
I hope a new chapter will begin. I'm so tired of the nonsense with ships too and frankly at this point I'll just be okay if members don't even interact with each other. I'm honestly kind of been "tired" with jikook for the same reason. For a lot of time in 2020 and 2021 I just hoped they wouldn't even look at each other. Maybe 2022 will be the year.
It's okay, I don't believe you're homophobic. I think it's the same way actors fall in love with each other while they're filming a movie. It's work for them, too; but feelings don't know about "work". I've fallen in love with friends, with classmates. I wasn't planning on it happening, but it did. Tom Holland and Zendaya have been dating pretty much on and off since the first spiderman movie, and they didn't say it back then but their fans already knew. Before them, Andrew Grandfield and Emma Stone fell in love while filming spiderman too. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt fell in love while filming Mr and Mrs Smith (and just because, I wanna add that Angelina is a confirmed bisexual and that there have been rumours about Brad Pitt liking men too). Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron fell in love while filming high school musical.. I could go on forever, but you know what I mean.
With bands, we don't know about it that much or maybe it doesn't happen as often as with actors, but it happens in bands too. I think it's messier with bands, tho. Because you're too much time together and there are people who love spending all that time together, but most people feel it's a burden and the relationship doesn't work out. Also, men love casual sex a bit more than women. Like, it might seem dumb but I just can't ignore that fact. So men will prefer touring and maybe hooking up with women (or other men ofc) in every city the play in, and not commit to a relationship. Zayn Malik from one direction was officially dating Perrie Edwards back in like 2011, 2012, and he was still having sex with other women in every country One Direction would play in. Boys will be boys, I guess. And I guess that's why we don't often see committed relationships within bands.
This doesn't mean they don't hook up with each other, tho. People in bands hook up with each other sooo much. I'm pretty sure John Lennon used to hook up with another Beatles. Like two years ago a spice girl said she and another spice girl hooked up a couple of times in hotels while they were touring. Friends having sex without taking it to a relationship also happens A LOT. It has happened to me. It doesn't have to be messy and you can totally keep going with your life after that, if both of you don't want to turn it into something more.
Then there's the more rare, but not unheard-of cases of people getting married inside the band. The only ones I know the names of are Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham (the name can be deceiving but he's a man) from Fleetwood Mac. They played together in the band and they fell in love and they got married. Then they got divorced and wrote a whole album about it and continued with the band and touring. At least they could still work together for some time after the divorce.
So, yeah. I think people......shippers..... See something romantic in the relationship of two people and, obviously taking Jungkook and Jimin as an example, they just happen to be idols. It could be that they've fallen in love the same as actors fall in love with each other all the time. It could be that they're just two guys who hook up sometimes or have hooked up. It could be they are in a committed official relationship (at least to those around them).
I hope this made sense to you, and if there's anything else you would like to talk about, you can always ask about it, no worries!

Is there any character you wanna infodump about but haven't had the chance to yet? Pls do ^^ And good luck with your appointment!!! 🌻
hi!! to be honest, i can't really think of a character i want to infodump about since i haven't really been consuming that much media lately besides the new fn*f game, and i definitely can't confidently infodump abt anything in that series because i honestly gave up on understanding the lore a long time ago AJDJF it's pretty obvious they're just making shit up as they go and don't rly intend on making everything actually make sense at any point
but! i can still talk abt a theory ppl have abt a character from the game tho. a theory that i didn't/don't want to believe because i think it's really dumb!! but there's a lot of evidence for it and i can't pretend it isn't significant.
i don't know dear anon if you're familiar with the game but basically in the newest game there's a boy named gregory that ends up in the pizza plex, this absolutely giant kids entertainment. place thing. it's got like arcade games and laser tag and go kart racing yknow the kinda place. and gregory needs to get out of there because there's a dangerous lady hunting him, and she tells all the animatronics to hunt him as well, most likely having hacked them. freddy didn't end up being hacked though, and remains a normal, friendly robot bear. so he helps protect gregory as they try to escape the plex while trying to keep from danger.
this theory im referring to is that gregory isn't actually human and he's a robot. an advanced robot that looks like a kid. i think that's pretty dumb, but it explains a lot of things that aren't answered in the game. because let's be real, not much at all is answered in the game. it was rushed out and might as well not have had an ending at all. so many plot points dropped, so many things that never go anywhere. but enough abt my complaining lol. basically there's a lot of questions that aren't answered but regarding gregory here's the questions that this theory might be able to answer:
we never get an explanation as to why gregory is even at the pizza plex to begin with. he isn't just some kid whose parents forgot about him, because he's (assumedly) homeless and doesn't Have parents. so he most likely snuck in. he isn't an officially registered guest at the plex, like he wasn't signed in at the front or whatever. there's also the fact that gregory is well aware that there have been disappearances at the pizza plex, so why would he go there, especially near closing time, if he knew it might be dangerous. him being a robot may explain that. perhaps he needed to repair himself and this was the only place he could do it. like maybe it had parts he needed and he couldn't get there anywhere else. that would be an explanation.
when an antagonist named vanny is nearby, it seems as if gregory's vision glitches and distorts. it literally looks like analog video malfunctions. i always assumed this was just a stylistic thing, but actually when paired with the other thing i'm about to mention it's probably actually relevant. freddy can't see vanny, but gregory can. that's obviously Really weird. but what seals the deal is that freddy can finally see vanny after his Eyes are Upgraded to special ones. he gains roxanne's eyes, and she sees a lot differently than the other ones. she can see through walls for example. so freddy not being able to see vanny while gregory can would imply gregory may have more advanced eyes than freddy at first.
it would explain why gregory is special in the first place. why vanny is hunting him to begin with. that's such a huge unanswered question, what does she want with this kid? obviously other kids have disappeared but this doesn't seem like a thing she would do every time she takes a child, it's a whole Thing yknow, a whole night of robots trying to get this boy. if he were a special advanced robot that would def make more sense why someone would want him so bad.
obviously him being homeless doesn't have to be some conspiracy theory it may just be that he's homeless and it holds no plot significance and that's fine, but it could also be that he ran away from whoever created him. that would go back to him needing parts from the plex, if he was created by someone but ran away from them he would have to perform maintenance on himself. there's also a weird thing where freddy says "i feel you are broken" to gregory and takes him to the first aid station, although first aid is never performed because they're interrupted by another character, and it's something that's not mentioned again. this could totally just be gregory having cuts and bruises, especially since he already has bandaids in his canon design. but i still feel like freddy's phrasing of "broken" is a tad strange. obviously it could just be that he's used to using that kind of language as a robot but the guy works with kids all day, you'd think he'd know the word "hurt".
ANYWAY THO i'm done talking about that. like i said i think him being a robot would be dumb, him being a normal human kid should just be what it is. so i hate that this theory might be right considering how much it explains certain things rip

Let me give you my life
Pairing: Loki x Tesseract
Warnings: Major Character Death, Mourning, delusions, mental illness, alcohol, Original Character Death, Odin, fantastic racism
Summary: After Frigga's funeral, Loki starts hearing a voice. It changes their life completely.
Chapter 3: Verse 3
Chapter warnings: math, fantastic racism, death (not graphic)
Chapter summary: the orders
Previous chapter, AO3, next chapter
Tumblr media
If I'm a pagan of the good times / my lover's the sunlight
Loki storms the library once again, this time searching everything about the Tesseract and this Entropy they call him all the time.
Entropy still remains a mystery, but there are even more writings about the space stone than the ones they've seen before.
"It says here that they worshipped you," Loki says, but only internally. He's in public, speaking to the walls would make him appear mad.
"People express loyalty in different ways," they answer, always softer since the deal.
"Is that what you want? Loyalty?"
"Among other things, yes. But mostly trust that I will not hurt you, cause I won't," they promise. Loki already knows this.
Can't break something that's already in pieces.
"Brother!" Thor yells as he walks in. Loki's shoulders tense, this idiot never warns them.
"Tho-thor," he answers, eyes on Thor as they drab a chair and side beside him. "How come you be i-i-in here? You ha-ha-hate books," they raise an eyebrow at their brother.
"I'm here to see how you're doing. You've been acting oddly lately," he answers, those blue eyes scanning Loki.
"People grie-grie-grie-grieve in different ways, Th-thor. I a-a-a-assure you, I'm fi-fine," he hums, turning back to the book.
"Loki. After all this, just remember that I'm here for you, eh? You needn't face anything alone," Thor insists, placing a big and steady hand on Loki's shoulder.
Loki's body nods, and smiles, watching as Thor smiles back before leaving. Loki's mind wonders if this is all a mistake. Thor was, is grieving too. Maybe this is all too much…
But Thor wasn't there when Gæirasson offended Loki, neither time. In fact, Thor has been a ghost since Frigga's death.
"You have my trust and loyalty, until the end," Loki decides, feeling in their core how relieved the Tesseract is by the answer.
"Allow me to show you another secret then. Look at your hands but don't touch anything and don't let it spread," they answer.
Loki lets the book and brings his torn from the picking hands under the table, always watching them. Black ropes start appearing and tangling themselves on their fingers, creating a calming sensation and demanding more ground, but Loki doesn't allow it. Out of all kinds of magic, this is by far the most powerful one he has ever seen.
And the most chaotic.
To keep the Goddess on my side / she demands a sacrifice
Like every day, the official Tesseract session is late at night, while Loki should be sleeping. Signs of their decreasing amount of sleep are becoming more and more visible, but they don't care.
"The o-orders?" he asks.
"You need to know some things first. In order to keep you from dying, King Laufey made a deal with one of us. Your life for acts of service. You need to do some things before being free," they do speak like they did on the first days, but somehow still softer.
"Acts of s-s-service?" he questions. So, the stone just needs hands and will borrow theirs?
"Yes. There are things that will keep the stones safe from those who seek them to do harm. Asgard has two, and you need to make sure that some things are set to their protection. It's just one thing, really. But you need to use your new powers to do so,"
Loki nods, the movement small and cut, like a soldier's.
"Ready to-to comply,"
Drain the whole sea / get something shiny
"First order. Free yourself from everything, good and bad," the Tesseract says. Loki blinks in confusion.
"H-how?"
"What bad do you carry into you? The possessiveness, the jealousy, this ego you named pride, all this fury… you don't need them from now on. Let them go," they insist.
"L-let them go?"
"Act as if they don't exist, don't give them your attention. The same thing goes for your bright side. You faith in your moral compass, your deep feeling for everything you care about. Both of those sides will keep you from moving on. You mustn't listen to them anymore," they explain, as if it's something easy.
"So… y-y-you want me to be-to be your li-little m-m-minion?" he raises an eyebrow. Is that what they agreed on? Being a tiny pawn but just on a different chess board?
“No. Not exactly. You are not to abandon them for my own good, but for yours. The acts might hurt these sides of you, you need them in one piece,” their voice softens.
Loki takes a breath, in and out as slow as possible, and nods again. “What-what sh-sh-should I-I do?” even though the stutter stays, he refuses to let his voice break.
They swear they can feel the stone smiling.
“Listen to me, and don’t act upon them. Also, learn how to control possibility magic,”
Possibility magic? Is that what the black ropes are?
“Learn how Midgardians think of possibilities. It’s close to how your new abilities work,” they advise him. So, this is what being under the orders of a stone is like? Homework and pretending? it’s nothing they don’t know how to do for hundreds of years…
“And after the-the week?”
“the fun starts.”
Loki smiles wide, wider than he has ever smiled even before Frigga’s death.
something meaty for the main course / that’s a fine looking high horse
The week passes peacefully. Loki doesn’t have to worry about how to do what, the Tesseract is there to help them with it and lets them just decide how to do what and, oddly enough, the Midgardian science was calming.
At least, more calming than war theory. And less graphic.
He was chilling on the training grounds and working on the newfound magic, until the Tesseract came.
“It’s time,” they say moments before a blinding blue light covers Loki.
With the blink of an eye, they’re at a castle’s yard, hiding behind a bush.
“Prevent the war, you know how,” the Tesseract says again.
On the contrary, Loki has no idea where he is and what he has to do.
At least not until a guard passes by, near the bush, their armour bearing Gæirasson's symbol.
They smirk, moving from shadow to shadow and into the castle, where they cast an invisibility spell to navigate without worrying about getting caught.
What you've got in the stable? / We've a lot of starving faithful
In the grand hall, Loki finds the old lord. They're discussing an attack, in which he is the main character, of course. They're to strike tomorrow evening.
Loki has to hold himself not to laugh. Instead, they sit and wait. Wait until Gæirasson ends the council and heads to their bedroom. And Loki follows. Until the corridors make a room, with six doors to navigate through.
It would be such a shame if they suddenly closed shut, locking the two foes inside.
The old fool chuckles. "I know you're here, Frost Giant. I can smell your people's blood," he looks around.
Loki chuckles back and drops the spell, standing right in front of the man.
"Is it this? Or do your aged joins hurt with the cold?" he titles his head, showing his signature mischievous smile.
"Why are you here? To negotiate? We've been past this part," they growl. Loki doesn't break the smirk, but lets a glow pass their eyes. Green, but with icy blue undertones, and a pitch black shadow.
"No. We are here to talk about monsters. For, as you can smell, the blood of my siblings who you slained are screeching for it"
That looks tasty / that looks plenty / this is hungry work
"Do you know anything of my people's belief regarding the Norns?" Loki asks, circling around the man like a predator waiting to strike.
"Why should I care about the opinions of monsters?" he spits, trying to mimic the glare.
"Oh, because it's interesting. We believe in the norns, like you do. But they don't create the strings, they knit them. Twisting and turning and combining and separating people, and letting us choose where to go on each knot. Fascinating. Oddly enough, the mortals have a similar way of thinking, at least the ones who are closer to science. They name it possibilities, and write it with numbers,
"Let me give you an example. There's a fifty percent possibility that I will continue this conversation with my normal face," Loki speaks, letting the Æsir glamour fade and rising to his Jötunn height. "But I won't choose this path because your ceilings are low and I would have to bend my neck," they continue, after walking a few steps and letting their horns scratch the ceiling. The glamour appears again, bringing him to his Æsir skin.
"And there's always the possibility that you die, because of your old age and the stress of the war you created. And the only reason people remember you is as an example of why not to piss me off," he grins, the black ropes tangling around his wrists.
"And the possibility, in Midgardian terms, is one hundred percent," they leap closer and grab the old man by his collar, staring right into the fear in his eyes.
"I have a message for my people in Hel, deliver it when you see them. Tell them to rip this old cunt apart, yet keep one piece for me for when I arrive," he spits, watching as the ropes tangle around their throat and mummify them in front of his eyes, making the fear and anger burn out.
They throw the corpse on the floor and open the doors as the Tesseract casts another light, revealing Loki's chambers as it fades away.
"You shouldn't have scratched the ceiling with your horns," they say, worried.
"And? I laughed at the face of one old fool already, what's a second one? And if I am to join my family, let at least my exit from the hypocrites be dramatic," he laughs, ready for the guards to storm in and take him to the dungeons.

♪ The Knights of the Alder - Band AU: Headcanons (part 2) ♪
this is part two of me gushing about my daydream Band AU, this time sharing random headcanons
here's part one btw
Aiden is the lead singer
the other's do background vocals sometimes
I'm not sure if Halea or Talon would be the drummer of the band but I lean towards Halea because I think it would fit her best
they sing duets too. sometimes it's Aiden and Talon, but oftentimes it's Maya singing with Aiden
Maya has a very lovely singing voice
she was too shy to sing in front of people at first but when she got closer with the others and they encouraged her, she felt comfortable enough to do it eventually
the band would also totally make one of those unplugged sessions
Talon loves those sessions especially, because he's a huge fan of acoustic songs
I feel like their band would make very cool and badass music videos
Talon and Aiden write a lot of songs together, later it is mostly love songs
they are dating, but they didn't make it official at first so they kind of had a secret relationship for some time
but some fans were on to something and the two decide to have their fun with that and mess with their "shippers"
like, they never confirm their relationship when asked, but they constantly drop hints and watch people make wild theories
in one music video Aiden wears a Shirt that belongs to Talon (one he was often seen wearing) and there are whole videos of people being like "they're dating and i can proof it"
in an interview someone once asked "Who are you thinking about when singing love songs?" and Aiden answered "Apple pie."
eventually they do confirm their relationship tho
they do have a YouTube channel where they do acoustic covers, just the two of them
speaking of dating, I like to think that at some point at the beginning some fans were like "we're pretty sure some of them are dating but we don't know who is dating who"
I imagine Aiden, Talon, Halea and Maya would be that kind of band that interact with their fans a lot
for a while Halea got her hands on the band's official snapchat account and used it mainly to cause chaos
they also do stuff like reading tweets about themselves (doesn't matter if thirsty ones or hater comments or just opinions and nice comments about them in general) and other "games" like "never have I ever"
one tweet said something along the lines of Talon being the bad boy of the group and Aiden, Halea and Maya burst out laughing because that's just so unrealistic
Talon always tried to keep up the baddie imagine a bit, but was completely outed as a big softie when in one interview he said the two big loves in his life are music and Aiden
their first tour is sold out in no time and honestly they are sorta overwhelmed at the first concert because where do all these people come from?
for Halea, touring is actually the most fun part of being in a band, while Maya prefers studio work, Talon likes that they get to travel around when on tour but he also thinks it's low-key stressful
hear me out: BACKSTAGE TOUR VIDEOS
Halea is also the one who talks a lot during interviews and Maya is doing surprisingly well, too, despite always being anxious over interviews
Talon absolutely hates interviews at first and Aiden is really awkward in them at first but he gets better
when on tour in a new city, the boys like to take some time for sightseeing, dressing up so no one recognizes them. you notice, they like to be sneaky
Halea and Maya regularly have spa days when on tour
for Aiden the music had always been most important, he couldn't care less if they are popular or not as long as he gets to play music and have fun with his friends, because that's what makes him happy
but Aiden is still happy that people love their music just as much as he does
Talon, Maya and Halea would say quite similar things when asked
the four of them often say in interviews that they're more than just a band, they're family, and they are happy to make this incredible journey together
maybe wanna check out the AU soundtrack? You can find it here :D
so this was my last band AU post I'll shut up now I promise xD
general tag list: @deadlycupid @writing-is-a-martial-art @writingamongther0ses @blueinkblot @wildswrites @abi-radio @theroyalcoven @7devills @myhusbandsasemni

Hi! I'm the same anon who asked about Renji and Byakuya and I just want to make it clear that I'm not really a huge fan of them either. They're good characters but I don't like their personalities that much. I like Ukitake's more, in fact he's my fave character. I would like to know your opinions about him and please don't hold back. I know he's a great character but I accept that he has was too so I would like to hear your thoughts. I can share too if you'd like
Hello again anon! Ok, so where to begin. I honestly love Ukitake so very much too and I wish Kubo had explored his character to the fullest.
I loved this white haired cutie since was first introduced. Aside from Ichigo and co. He was the only one who tried to save Rukia during the Rescue Arc. That was enough for me to say 'You. I like you.' But not only is he driven and ready to protect Rukia but he's also a total sweetheart. He's kind, he loves kids, he's polite and a great boss. Then he and Kyoraku were both willing to fight Yamamoto to save Rukia and I was losing it. If something happened to either of them I probably would've dropped the show because I love them that much.
After the rescue arc we never got much from him. Nor in cannon or filler arcs/episodes yet I was always happy to see him. Heck, he made the beach episode even better (although I felt so sad he couldn't enjoy it due to his illness)
Finally we got to see him and Shunsui fight together again in the Karakura arc and again he was an awesome fighter and a total sweetie. I especially loved how funny his fight with Lilinette was. He's too pure for going against a kid, even a slightly villainous one. I was so mad Kubo nerfed him after Wonderweiss appeared but I kinda get why he couldn't have too many people around when the stakes were getting higher.
What did surprise me tho, was the Fullbringer arc. I know it's not the most loved arc but I honestly wished we've had more time to fully explore it.
The bad guy of the arc, Kugo was a substitute shinigami like Ichigo and not only did Soul Society betrayed him but he seems to have something against Ukitake. I was floored when I first read this like 'omg, whathappened between these two?!' Sadly this is never cleared and I'm still salty we never had a proper conversation between them.
When the final arc came around I didn't expect to get what we got. I only expected to get his Bankai revealed and that's it. We got Ukitake's backstory and then he died because Kubo couldn't go five minutes without killing every interesting character he had.
For me I wanted to hear more about his power. Was it easy to deal with? Was he happy about it, or angry he was now bound to the king? Would he have died either way when Juha killed the king? Idk, and I guess we'll never truly know.
I have my own theory of what happened between him and Kugo and how the whole soul king backstory would've played into that but seeing how Kubo keeps throwing cannon out the window, maybe it's best it stays a theory.
Anyway, what I think happened is that since Ukitake was healed by the king, he had to obey everything the Soul King asked of him or he would die. So when Kugo was a substitute shinigami, they asked Ukitake to give him the pass as a way to spy on him and he had no choice but to do so. Kugo finds out, is rightfully pissed but since the Soul Society has always been idiotic in dealing with these matters they end up killing Kugo's friends for his retaliation and he turns against them for good. Sadly our fave Captain couldn't do anything about that and is stuck with the regret. Years later Ichigo comes along and again he has to give him the pass, but unlike Kugo when Ichigo finds out he dosen't hold a grudge. I would've loved to have more info about this on the manga proper but Kubo couldn't even have them speak to eachother so that's a let down.
To conclude I think Ukitake was a great character. He was nice, funny, kind, and had a good story full of potential. I think killing him was completely unnecessary and I wish he would've gotten the development he deserved. Despite being a super nice sweetie, I also liked that he had his flaws and would've been down for seeing his relationship and downfall with Kugo and like so many characters in Bleach he deserved better. Hope this answers your question!

WIP Ask Game!
thank u anon!!!!
1: Summarize your WIP in 10 words or less.
orphan gains powers, gets adopted by alien, saves the world.
2: Post a line from your WIP with no context.
'There's a whoosh of air, and Leo suddenly hears a voice he never thought he'd ever be able to hear again.'
3: Does your WIP have a title? If so, explain its significance. If not, what are you calling it for now?
Okay so I have been calling it the Youtuber Superhero AU (because it started as a fandom au but then i made it an original!!) but I thought maybe it could be "Thicker than Water", since my MC, Leo, is an orphan and he lives alone for most of his life (most of his life lmao at least until canon point? read also: around 9-11 years when in canon he's like 19?) in a remote, lowkey magical place/dimension?, but ultimately he comes back to his hometown and creates a family for himself!!!! i won't give spoilers but, since i already said this, part of his found family is his adoptive dad, an alien who is also a superhero!! If not TtW, I would call it maybe,,,,, Moonstone???? at least the first book!!! (ooh, maybe TtW can be the series name and Moonstone the first book's name?) because Leo kind of gets his powers through a moon stone????? it's not actually moon stone; it was a strange rock he found in the magical dimension that seeked out a champion for the god Huitzilopochtli??? and the closest word Leo could get for it was Moonstone, because of its uhhhhh singular qualities!
4: Describe the setting of your WIP.
OKAY, this is a fun one!!! Leo's hometown is named Star Nova, idk why it just seemed cool, and it is a futuristic city!!! They don't follow capitalism Because I Said So, and they're really into, like, environmental stuff!!! So you'd see SO much flora all over the city kshdsjfh like those???? idk what they're called but like the towns overridden with plants? but controlled!!! There's a tiny percentage of the population (tho I still haven't decided if this is worldwide?? I have a way to make it worldwide but idk) who have superpowers, either due to "individual" factors (e.g Leo's powers are bc of the moonstone, and Matthew(his dad)'s powers are due to him being an alien!) or were affected by a weird experiment an Evil Corporation™ were doing; ECtm was trying out an illegal experiment that could alter living beings' genetics to their will, but it went wrong and their substance exploded and went airborne. Those who were working on it knew about its risks and toxicity, ergo they were wearing a special suit and weren't affected, but the gas contaminated and ??mixed?? with the air and spread to the nearest city, Star Nova (the unofficial capital of the Joint Pacific Nations) and affected a Whole Lot Of People!!! this all happened a while before canon, and the corporation got away with it bc they were filthy rich basically. Anyway, a lot of the people who were affected to the "virus" reacted negatively and died, some were uhhh """immune"""???, and a few Seemed to be immune but had actually had a successful celular-level bonding with the substance! It didn't do anything to them, but their children/grandchildren were born with physical or mental anomalies, also known as super powers (gasps)!!!! BUT!!! a lot of the story happens in the magical city of Coatl (it means serpent!), located within a pocket dimension somewhere inside the Mexican southern forest, where Leo finds himself when he's four years old, recently orphaned, guided by a magical ....bird....being....? he lives there for around eleven years, and he's granted Huitzilopochtli's Champion's power once he's like. Not A Baby lmao. Coatl is.... kind of like,,,,, an Olympus, I guess? Only those with like the destiny to find it know where it is, and they can lead other people there if it's for good causes! It's almost like a sentient city, and the Aztec gods kinda. chilled there???? my theory is that a lot of religious mythologies exist, at least in this universe, and they all co-exist on earth, or pocket dimensions inside of it!!! anyway, Leo lived there and was basically raised by gods???? and an AI???? bc i love AIs???? and uhhhh i think that got away from me ajdhsjdhsj does all of this even count as setting??? am i missing anything????
5: Search for the word “knife” in your WIP. If you find it, paste the line and explain the context.
no knives sadly :( i guess i haven't reached Those Scenes yet???? tho there should be one in the first chapter….. my wip document is just kind of very messy ajdhsjdjsjdh i might just have to make a new document????
6: Search for the word “dream” in your WIP. If you find it, paste the line and explain the context.
???????????? why am i not using any words?????????? sorry :/
7: What are you most proud of?
probably the worldbuilding and characters (at least those with superpowers? maybe i should say superpowers period)!!!!! they're very complex and thought-out????? and i THINK they're original!!!!! so!!!!! \( ̄▽ ̄)/
8: What is your biggest challenge?
oooooof,,,,,,,, probably..... getting an actual plot lmao????? like i have an overall view of my would-be first and second books, but i don't know if they actually have enough to them to be written as they are?????? like… idk if the conflict is really like??? worthy to be a Main Conflict™????
9: How would you describe your writing style?
oooooooh uhhhhh maybe….. flowery prose???? i'm a poet at heart, so if i don't use loads of metaphors and language uhhhh idk their name in english but language variators??? i will literally die. but seriously nsjdhsjdhsjfh nothing too serious!!!! most of my “”””angst”””” scenes are….. not so sad, i think skfjsjfj
10: How would you describe your WIP’s narrative style? (1st person, 3rd person, multiple POVs, single POV, alternating chapters, etc.)
oh!!!! well, i think it'd be multiple povs, alternating chapters, third person???? i'm still not sure whether to use 1st or if i already have??? p sure that's a different wip i'm thinking about tho
11: Which character do you have the most in common with?
uhhhhhhhhhhhh seeing how underdeveloped she is right now??? probably Persephone???? bc she's genderfluid skfjsjfjdjfh or uhhhh Scott??? bc i too love leo with my heart and would die for him and stay with him in the afterlife. (hypothetically, of course….)
12: Which character do you have the least in common with?
Maeve, probably!!!! she's, uh…. Something.
13: Your characters are stranded on a deserted island. What happens?
They Are All A Mess. akfhajfjajfj Matthew would probably become the leader and like. establish order and shit???? but he's also the hugest nerd so he'd just give the leader role to someone else (probably seph staine?) and goes exploring and cataloging shit skfhsjfhdjf Leo is probably the most resourceful one of the bunch, so he would immediately like. start planning for huts and food and stuff???? also idk if they would have their powers in this situation cause it'd be too easy to get them all out of there????? but let's just say they do but the island is inescapable by flight?? he can talk to animals, so he could communicate with the local fauna and like form alliances???? Seph is a good leader, so he'd probably like….. keep everything in check???? and Leo's friends are all good and resourceful, so they'd make a good team!!!! tldr they basically create order immediately and do their best to not struggle??? after a few days/weeks, some of them start to like. break down? but the adults are like. wise and shit??? and i'm pretty sure at least one of them is like a licensed therapist??? so they help each other out uwu
14: Have you chosen birthdays for any of your characters? If so, when are they?
oh!!!! only for a few!!!! Leo and Maeve's birthday is on March 25, Scott's birthday is on August 27, Matthew doesn't really have a birthday??? because time is different in his planet????, Percy and Persephone's birthday is somewhere in November, and uhhhh im p sure that's all i got akfjsjfjsj i suck at birth dates
15: Do you know your characters’ MBTI personalities?
GOD, no. maybe i should do their tests???👀
16: What would your characters be for Halloween?
Leo… doesn't believe in/care for Halloween, as he didn't grow up around it, but it's totally Scott's jam!!! they are dirt poor in a good first half of the book, though, so they can't really dress up :( they met in the library, and after (spoiler alert!!!) scotty's death, Leo feels it appropriate to dress up as Scott's fave characters every year. Percy and Persephone are (very weak) shapeshifters, so their costumes ROCK!!!!! they always do matching costumes, so they get cliché pair costumes!! Matthew….. uh. he is… way too old for that. he was literally alive before Halloween was even a thing, so it's not really his thing. Leah just……. does her own thing??? she can see ghosts, so she sometimes does like historical costumes and stuff with their help!!! and Ben…. oof tbh that depends on what his fave song/album/whatev is at the moment??? he kinda creates like a story/aesthetic for them and dresses up that way!!!!
17: Does your WIP have any themes or motifs?
uhhhh found family, definitely!!!! i really can't think of any bc i'm an idiot, but uhhhh intelligence??? if that's a thing??? like,,, they're all powerful and shit but it's also like. brains over brawns????
18: What’s easier, dialogue or description?
i think description!!!! neither of them are… hard??? but!!! description is like…… where i can go hog wild akfjskfjsjfb
19: Post a picture or gif that describes your WIP.
20: Post a brief excerpt.
Leo @Leoberry
You asked, I answered. New Q&A video is now up!
[3k retweets, 10k likes, 9k replies] 20 min. ago
[My First Q&A- video transcription excerpt]
[Leo Berry, a nineteen-year-old brunette guy with green eyes, wearing a red shirt with a lightning symbol on it that's loose on his muscular form, waves at the camera and smiles widely, dimples showing up on his cheeks.]
Leo: Hey, guys. You've been asking me to do a Q&A for a while, and the day has finally arrived! I told you to ask me questions on Twitter with the hashtag #AskBerry, and I've picked a few!
[Leo smiles brightly and lifts up his cellphone.]
Leo: First off, here's one by @razzberry- nice username, by the way-: “what's your cat's name? Do you have more than one?”
[The video shifts, and there's suddenly two cats sitting on Leo's arms: a large, orange cat quickly falling asleep on his shoulder, and a black kitten hugged in his arms.]
Leo: I do! This little fella-
[He gasps as the kitten in his arms struggles to get free and runs off-camera.]
Leo: Don't leave me! Okay, that little fella is Onyx, and, as you can see, he doesn't like me very much. Anyway, this little gal asleep over here…
[He points toward a small orange cat sleeping on his shoulder.]
Leo: ...is Tigress! She's my little baby. You've probably seen her around a lot on my vlogs, since she really likes to hang out on my bed.
Leo: Next! @Honeybats asked: ‘“is it true your dad is Jade?”
[Leo smiles and, after a few seconds of trying to school his features, bursts out laughing.]
Leo: You mean to ask whether my dad is Matlal Jade, the greatest superhero of our era?
Leo: ...Well, yeah! My dad- [more laughs] my dad is totally my Jade. His name is Matthew, and I keep asking him to fly me to school. He says it's not funny!
[He sobers up for a second.]
Leo: Jokes aside, he adopted me a few years ago and he'll always be a superhero in my eyes. I was in a really dark place when he found me, and I can't thank him enough for all that he's done for me.
[Leo looks away for a second and loses his smile. The video cuts and skips again, and Leo appears once again, this time sporting an easy smile and a blue shirt, this one tighter around his shoulders.]
Leo: things got a bit too deep! This one was sent by @shazhangs: “are you dating anyone at the moment?”
[Leo laughs.]
Leo: God, no. I mean, I'm not really a people person, you know? And I’ve been so focused on work, vlogging, and, uh, extracurriculars, that I really haven't had any time to socialise.
[Leo laughs again.]
Leo: This one comes from @perspartone: will you collab with any other youtubers anytime soon?
Leo: Yeah, sure! I don't think I have done any videos with other people in the past, so it'd be a fun thing to do! I just have to find a friend first.
[Leo laughs loudly.]
[End of excerpt. For viewing of the video, refer to Leo Berry on Youtube, and find the full transcription here at DailyBerries in a few hours.]
