Dude, Absolutely write more about Steve and his 200 year old boyfriend. I wanna see into their life together more. Does Y/N become part of the avengers? What’s an average day for the two of them? What do the other Avengers think of them together? Has Steve ever called Y/N daddy out in public or in earshot of the other Avengers on accident? How inseparable are they? Anything you can come up with I’ll love man. Your writings so damn good!
Steve Rogers x Male reader
Headcanons
Tumblr media
I was honestly so in love with the kinktober prompt with Steve and his 200-year-old lover, so I got excited when I got this request. Let’s say his hero name is Titan, just to have some old school sounding name.
The morning after your reunion, the two of you just laid in Steves bed, basking in each other’s presence and the fact that you were both alive.
After many kisses, from pecks to deep tongue filled kisses, and after a few rounds of Steve riding you again, as he was so taken with the fact that he finally could, you two finally talked.
You explained to him how you were a mutant, and how sorry you were for never telling him, how it had never crossed your mind to do so. And he apologized for throwing his life away like that, and leaving you the way he did.
Over the next couple of weeks, you stay in his apartment, even when Steve goes out to do avenger work or do stuff for SHIELD. He is always so tense when he walks in through the door, but he quickly finds you and crawls into your lap with a sighed “Daddy”, as if your presence alone is enough to calm him.
During this time, you introduce him to the future better than anyone else is able too, even rewarding him for being such a good student, just for the fun of it. You also end up telling him not to trust SHIELD, as you’ve seen who is involved with it, and what they do.
The Avengers team just assume Steve is uncomfortable with the future, and that’s why he’s always rushing home after missions or meetings, but in reality its to get home to you. When days are too rough, all he needs is you to squeeze him so tight his vision starts blurring and he’s left lightheaded.
He needs his daddy to take him out of his head, to take away his duty as Captain America, and just let him be your boy. Being with you is refreshing in the way that you always see him as Steve before you see him as Captain America, you’ll always see him as your boy before anything else.
The avengers first discover your existence during the attack on New York, as there is no way in hell you’ll allow your boy to run around on his own, especially not when you have more than a hundred years of experience than any of the members of the Avengers.
So, imagine their surprise when you come crashing in on your motorcycle, throw it right at a cluster of enemies, and immediately start tearing through the enemies with extreme skill.
I haven’t decided if you have any powers except for extreme strength, regeneration, no aging, the likes. But if you want, you can imagine the reader having any powers you want.
When everything is done and over with, the team, except for Steve, tenses when you start marching towards them. Seeing how you ripped apart the aliens with as much difficulty as one would a sheet of paper, they are on edge.
That is until you walk right past Tony, right past Natasha, right past all of them, walking right towards Steve. Whose face you take in your hands and start turning him this way and that, checking him over for injuries.
They’re all speechless to a certain degree, some more than others, especially when they see Steve start smiling and blushing like some kind of fair maiden.
Tony pulls a whole “are you guys also seeing this”, especially when you kiss Steve out of nowhere, and Steve almost arches into it, forgetting his shield somewhere on the ground to clutch onto you like a couple in an action movie.
Tony ends up being the one clearing his throat and being all “soooo… you gonna introduce us?” to get Steve and your attention.
Steve almost ends up introducing you as his Daddy, but he catches himself the last second and introduces you as his lover from before the war. When they want to know how you’re still alive, you just shrug and say you’re a mutant and you go by Titan.
After that you just kinda start hanging around the tower, but you aren’t an official part of the team. You don’t want to work for SHIELD, and you don’t want to work for the government. you’re also technically an honorary member of the X-men, a role you take seriously.
You end up getting along pretty well with the rest of the team, as you can take an interest in at least some of the things they are all into. You especially get along well with Tony, when you tell him you knew his father, and that he was a huge tool.
Seeing Steve with a man means that most of them need to change up the mental image they had of Steve, but seeing how happy and domestic you guys are, it’s clear it’s been a long-lasting relationship that just wasn’t in the history books.
If you guys end up rescuing Bucky and fixing him up without the whole civil war situation, you all end up just kinda living at the tower. You have your own apartment in Brooklyn, but its mainly for storage or if you and Steve need to go somewhere without anyone with super hearing nearby.
In the end its Bucky that exposes you guys for your title thing, as Steve has been too embarrassed to do it out in public the way you guys used too, and you respect his wants and needs.
It’s said in a very casual conversation too. Something along the lines of Bucky asking Steve “so, where’s was your daddy going this week anyway?” after you left to help the X-men. It causes a laugh from some of your teammates, as they think it’s a joke, until they see the blush on Steves face.
They’d think it’s just a kink for the bedroom in the beginning, until they start paying attention and hearing Steve mumble it to you when he needs comfort or reassurance. That’s when they learn its much more than just a kink.
It’s a way for Steve to give up all the pressure and responsibilities he feels in his life, for him to feel small and protected, to feel cared for, no matter what mistakes he may make. Its also there to reassure you that you are wanted and needed, that there is someone who loves you so deeply they want you to carry such a title to them.
Most of your team doesn’t really get it, but most of them have probably also seen weirder in their lives. Steve is also still a very private person in that regard, so it doesn’t call you that out in public, and you don’t make him.
Steve does allow himself to be more affectionate and vulnerable with you when your teammates are around, since they to some degree know what kind of relationship you guys have.
Like sitting in your lap on the couch when the team has movie nights, or letting you serve him dinner, or leaning against your chest when you hug him from behind. Or the times he is unsure of what to do in certain situations, and he looks at you for guidance.
Bucky is the calmest about it, since he remembers it from the 40s, and he had been around when it all started out. He didn’t have a title like you did, but he had seen how much comfort it brought you two, so he never questioned it.
So, all in all, the team accepts it as a dynamic you two have that they don’t really get involved with. Your knowledge helps them take down Hydra, and keeps lotsa the drama that happens in the movies from happening. Steves daddy didn’t just save him, but a lot of his teammates and innocent lives. Yay for Steves daddy.

“Shut your mouth before I shut it for you.” With our boy Rooster!
oof, we love our boy Rooster! but we also know our boy can have a bit of a temper... thanks for requesting it!!
disclaimer: It's funny how I promised myself I'd never write this trope, but here we are lmao.
description: the squad is enjoying a night at the hard deck, and some fucker makes nasty lil dumbass comments that makes rooster pissed.
warnings: bar fight, misogyny, feminist king!Rooster, protective Rooster, mentions of blood
Tumblr media
(y'all already knew i had to use this gif)
Bradley was, according to himself, usually a very level-headed man. Except for if you mentioned his father. Or his mother. Or Maverick. Or you, for that matter. But other than that he was cool as a cucumber. He never really figured himself to be a jealous type, either - he usually trusted people to do their thing and he did his.
Which is why, when looking back at the incident that had gotten him into his current predicament (you, holding an icepack to his split lip), he figured maybe he had been wrong.
It had all started off as any old night at the Hard Deck. Coyote and Hangman occupied the darts board, Phoenix and Bob were laughing at something that had happened during their flight earlier that day as they racked up a game of nine-ball, and you were dancing to the jaunty tune of Shania Twain's 'Man! I Feel Like a Woman' whilst Rooster sat by the bar, nursing a beer and a big grin watching his girlfriend dance and laugh with Halo. As Shania sang the line 'let our hair down', you looked at Rooster, flipping your hair and swaying your hips seductively with a little secret smile on your lips, enjoying your time letting loose after a week's hard work flying. He grinned back at you, sending you a quick wink and relishing in the giggle that slipped past your lips before you turned to Halo again.
"This is why I don't think women should be in the navy," a voice scoffed from beside Bradley, who turned to look at the man sat next to him for the first time since he'd sat down. Bradley had hardly noticed him at all until he spoke up. Seeing as Bradley considered himself a level-headed man, he gritted his teeth - surprised at how young the man beside him was.
"C'mon man, the first female aviator in the Navy was 1978. Don't you think it's time to let it go?" Bradley grumbled, having read through the female history of the Navy, just because he thought it was important to know. 1978 was a long time ago, sure - but he figured they'd let women do what they wanted before that. But apparently not. The man raised a brow, and Rooster just knew this was going to be a painful conversation to have. But he would have it, because if he didn't - who would?
"What are your reasons for thinking women shouldn't be able to enlist?" Rooster continued, glaring at the lieutenant sat next to him.
"Well, it's obvious isn't it? They're obviously weaker both physically and mentally. And then there's-- all of this," the man gestured to you and Halo having fun on the dance floor, now doing a silly move where you bumped hips before jumping the other way and bumping the other side. Rooster frowned, looking back at the young man.
"Because they can dance?" Rooster was bewildered, and he could feel his cheeks turning red with anger. That level-headedness of his was being tested thoroughly by this man.
"They're sluts, man! They're just looking to fuck anything that moves, okay? Fucking shaking their asses and hanging off any lieutenant that'll look their way. It distracts the whole team, honestly - it throws the whole order off," the man obviously couldn't think of a reason other than his own damn misogyny.
"Don't fucking talk about them like that. What gives you the right?" Bradley seethed, his fists clenched at his sides.
"Oh, I see - which of the whores are you fucking?" the man stood up, laughing condescendingly at Bradley. This made Bradley get out of his seat, standing at his full height, still keeping his distance before he growled out;
"Shut your mouth before I shut it for you, fucker" the man stepped closer to Bradley, and Rooster furrowed his brows as he pushed the man in the chest to make him back down. That was apparently the straw for the other man, who immediately swung at Bradley, his fist making contact with Roosters chin and lip. Bradley was too surprised to be able to brace himself for the impact, and his head snapped to the side at the impact, stumbling for a moment before his eyes grew black with rage. He was shouting now, telling the fucker to get the fuck out of the Hard Deck, easily putting his strong arm around the other mans neck in a headlock, dragging him to the door and giving him a hard shove in the back so that he landed on his back on the ground.
"Don't you fucking ever talk about our girls like that again!" Rooster shouted, pointing his finger at the man before spitting blood right at his face.
The bar had gone eerily quiet as he returned. He saw you making your way towards him, a concerned look etched on your face. He looked around a moment before he barked that everyone should mind their business. Everybody started before returning to hushed conversation.
"Rooster, what happened?" your eyes were filled with worry, your hands finding his face as they gingerly cradled him, and his large hands settled softly on your waist.
"Don't worry about it, darling.." he mumbled as you grabbed his hand and led him to a booth, where you scurried to ask Penny for ice and some medical equipment. You tended to him silently, brows furrowed.
"I was just helping Penny ring the bell," Rooster joked, smiling at your exasperated look. His anger had disappeared the moment you'd laid your hands on him, and now you stood in between his legs, your hands gingerly tending to his split lip. He was looking up at you with so much adoration that you started to feel your cheeks heat up.
"It was kind of hot," you admitted, the sight of Rooster's biceps flexing in his black t-shirt forever ingrained in your brain. Bradley smirked, his hands gliding down to rest at the swell of your ass, bringing you closer to his broad chest, your other hand resting on his shoulder as you looked down at his gorgeous form.
"Yeah?" Rooster smirked, wanting to kiss you senseless for admitting that to him.

Task Force 141 x Reader PART 4
Author: *watching MW2 Tiktoks*
Also Author: *REMEMBERS SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE WRITING PART 4 OF HER DAMN SERIES*
Author: *RUNS TO GET HER KEYBOARD AND ACTUALLY STARTS TYPING.*
IM SO SORRY BUT HERE IT IS OK I'LL STOP ACTING LIKE A DRONGO HERE WE GO
<story is beginning...>
"Damn," you wheeze out, pushing yourself up. "No mercy, eh?"
You're sparring with Ghost again because somehow, you defeated every one else on the Task Force. Except for the Captain, of course, you haven't had the chance to spar with him yet. You were itching for that though, on God. He could throw you around anytime...
Ghost scoffs, crossing his arms over his chest. "Say that when you have a gun to your head. The enemies won't take kindly to you."
You hum, standing back up. You gesture at him. "One more time."
"Again?" Rudy inquires, surprised. You two have been at it for almost hours.
"I want to at least get close enough to actually beat him." You mimic Ghost's stance. "I wanna beat... Ghostie."
He gives you the most dead stare in the world. "...What the hell did you just call me?"
"Ghostie. Get it? You're a liutenant, or LT. Ghost, your call sign and you get Ghostie!" You grin. Soap and Alejandro are snickering in the background. You clearly aren't very imaginative when it comes to creating nicknames.
"You are not calling me that."
"Take it or leave it, sir. There is no other alternative. Unless..." Your eyes sparkle. "You wanna be Casper."
Soap can't hold it in anymore; unleash the Scottish tea kettle. Alejandro is laughing so obnoxiously, you thought the whole base would hear him. Gaz doubles over, hand over his mouth to contain his giggles. Rudy had that disappointed white mom look- all he needed was a sweater to wrap himself in.
Ghost narrowed his eyes at you. But was that a twinkle of mirth and amusement in his gaze? You thought so before Ghost rolls his eyes, turning away and walking to get his water bottle.
"Oi, we a'int finished yet! No breaks!" you call.
"Have Soap train with you then," he replies monotonously.
"I'd rather die than train with that man again. He sucks."
"I AM RIGHT HERE, CASANOVA." Soap strides over to you and gives you a rough shoulder shove with a grin.
You smirk. "Whatever, Handwash."
Soap complains loudly and the Captain walks in, taking in the scene. "Doing some practice, are we?"
All of you guys nod in affirmation. He smiles proudly.
"Casanova is fitting in pretty well," Gaz responds, his smile full of nice white teeth. You figured since it was Britain, everyone would got some crooked ass teeth, but nah. These fellas are the hottest guys on earth. Gaz fires a wink at you and you can't help but smirk. "She and Ghost would be a deadly duo, to be honest. Soap can't keep up."
Soap flips him off and Price chuckles.
"Good. Because we have another mission. Laswell will give you all a debriefing and then we're headed out. Are you ready, Casanova?" Price looks at you straight in the eyes, waiting for your answer.
You salute with a goofy smile. "Was born ready, Cap'n. It'll be nice to see Laswell again."
"Yeah, she thinks quite highly of you, Casanova," Price responds with a nod. "Now, let's put that potential to action. Follow me."
All of the team follows their leader with zero hesitation. You stare at the way Price walks and the urge to just grab him is almost impossible to ignore. His hips sure as hell don't lie...
-TIME SKIP BC AUTHOR ISN'T SURE HOW THE MISSION "Cartel Protection" EXACTLY GOES...-
"Been there before, Ale?" you ask, shouldering your SMG on your shoulder. The whole team was on their way to Mexico, to a village that was overun by the cartel there.
He snorts. "Of course! Mexico is my home after all, and I've already had my share with this cartel..." Alejandro scoffs in disgust.
You sniff and lean your head back. You've never been to Mexico before- honestly, you haven't to a lot of places, besides Afghanistan. And that didn't go so swell...
You shake your head again, leg bouncing up and down. You didn't want to admit it, but you were nervous. Nervous that things could go horribly wrong again. That it would be all your fault... For fuck's sake, why now? You've been able to block out the terrible memories, yet now all of sudden they came back to haunt you.
Flashes of gunfire. Explosions. Comrades screaming in pain.
"It's all up to you, Casanova! Go! Now!"
"But Liuetanent-!"
"CASANOVA, IT'S AN ORDER! LEAVE ME BEHIND!"
"NO! I CAN'T LOSE YOU TOO! PLEASE!"
Rudy nudges your shoulder and you flinch.
"Lo siento," he whispers, studying your torn expression. "But..." He trails off and a small smile appears on his face. Rudy nods reassuringly.
You inhale and slowly exhale, banishing the memories, screeching to be remembered. "Gracias, amigo."
He nods once more and leaves you alone. Rudy sensed something was churning in your mind, and that always wasn't a good thing before getting into battle. Good soldiers die that way.
And you knew that all too well.
<end of part>
IM SORRY ITS SUPER SHORT BUT I HAVE TO DO MORE RESEARCH BEFORE I WRITE A MISSION I HAVE BARELY ANY INFO ABOUT- And I have things to do, so take this for a moment im sorry again T^T
Hoped you enjoy this, im trying very hard to get you a moment with every member, so please dont mind the tiny scenes with you and another member... I want the quality time to be equal and not leaned towards just one character, because at the end, like I said, you'll be able to choose which character to be with! :D

Are you still taking requests?? If so can you PLEASE cook up some Gaz/Farah/Alex you'd literally make my week

Drift Compatible
Words: 700
Kyle Garrick had never thought he would be on a talk show. He had never had it on the cards that he’d have an action figure. He really had not considered he might be a sex symbol. Really the only thing in this whole situation that had been predictable was that he was drift compatible with Farah and Alex.
It had been Price that brought them in, argued that they should be allowed to try. Two people being drift compatible was rare enough, but for him to want to spend the time and money to test compatibility for a team of 3? He had turned heads with that one. Luckily the man was a war hero, one of the first Jaeger pilots, so as much as the higher ups tried to find a way to say no, they really couldn’t.
He remembered the first time he had seen a Jaeger in action. Price and Laswell had piloted the hulking machine beautifully, took down a Kaiju before it even got near enough to the coast to hurt anyone. The Teahouse Outlaw (they never did tell him where the hell that name had come from) was retired now, a museum piece. It was when he was looking at it that he had met Farah and Alex for the first time. Took him all of 47 seconds to fall madly in love with Farah. Took 52 for him to fall madly in love with Alex.
They all wound up in the pilot program together, but then it wasn’t really a coincidence. If Price decided you were a Jaeger pilot, then you were damn well going to become a Jaeger pilot. Simon and Johnny had qualified first. He had laughed at how completely covered in paint Johnny had gotten himself decorating their Jaeger with a little illustration of two goldfish in a tank. The Ghost Cleaner was a mean machine and the two of them had a rabid fan club in no time which they were very smug about.
The one country they could never top the popularity charts of was Mexico. Nobody was about to gain more popularity there than the Vaquero piloted by Ale and Rudy. Gaz couldn't really blame the people throwing flowers at them with any public appearance, the two of them were wildly handsome.
Gaz loved that the team Price had made was out there saving the world, but it had been a special kind of torture sitting on the sidelines. At that time there was no way to test for a team of 3 and with Alex and Farah already showing signs of compatibility, they wouldn't test him against either of them. But they struggled, he knew they did. 
They would crawl into bed after a long day frustrated and tired. They were drifting, but it was taking so much more out of them than it should. He had felt so helpless then, only able to hold them and try provide some comfort.
The day Price had revealed their unnamed Jager now with a 3rd station Gaz could have cried. It so immediately made sense then what had been wrong. Farah and Alex were amazing together, but the 3 of them were just right somehow. The first drift was intense, he had actually cried, so had Alex. Farah had cooed at them and laughed as she scrubbed at their faces with her hands to clear the tear tracks.
She had nearly cried when they had told her they wanted to call the Jaeger Walid. She kept it together though as always, just pressing all of her emotions into kisses. 
Price dubbed them all the 141. They became wildly popular, superheroes really. They certainly had some friction with other teams out in the world, but everyone had the same goal, everyone was fighting the good fight in their own way.
The fact that the cockpit was actually a pretty exciting place to relieve some tension with his lovers after a hard mission was really a bonus.

Can you please write head canons about Matpat egos with a Reader who sleeps a lot, and when I mean a lot I mean like lot!
Who would be The one who Hold the reader while they sleep, Or be a little shit and Play loud music to annoy them
You don’t have to write it but I would appreciate it if you do! Have great day/night <3
Ofc!! Here you go! (Lmao I took out Mack because I realized poor guy would basically be doing your job- that would be kinda funny tho like imagine going to sleep on the ship beside him and waking up to entire colonization and you're in a cage 💀)
Tumblr media
Characters: Matpat, Madpat, The Detective, The Hermit, Warfpat.
Matpat
Kinda sad he can't really hang out with you that much when you're asleep, so he definitely makes moments counts when you wake up!
One of the one's to hold reader while you're asleep. Y'know that universal feeling where you have a cat on you and won't move even if it hurts because there's a cat on you- Very much like that.
He takes pictures, beware because he has blackmail on you lmao-
Honestly sometimes he uses you as a mini table and just edits and even sometimes record whole-ass videos on top of you 😭
Madpat
Another ones to hold you, but like.... stiff.
He doesn't move the entire time. Bro is sat snkadfkj
Sometimes if he has stuff to do (Read: people to murder) he just kinda flings you on his back and goes off to do whatever
Eventually puts you in a bed because he feels bad, especially if he finds you asleep like on top of the fridge or some random shit 😭
Listen to me he had to sleep on a desk chair for five miserable nights he knows damn well you're gonna be sore when you wake up 💀
The Detective
Honestly how he would react depends on whether your on the team or part of the place but would still kinda be the same
If you're a part of wherever the team is he's kinda sad he doesn't get to see you that much-
If you're on the team though, he is desperately trying to fight so you don't get voted out snjasj-
He is weak as hell. Mans isn't strong enough to carry you every where so most of the time makes sure you fall asleep in the safe spot.
The Hermit
Honestly just leaves you to do your thing 💀
Unlike The Detective, he is way too strong, so he'd probably end up throwing you around like a sack of potatoes and possibly accidentally off a cliff
If you guys are indoors he's slightly more relaxed but still on guard, since everything is new to him no matter how much you tell him its safe-
If you guys are outdoors though, he feels so bad about leaving you in case anything comes back before he does so he tries to make sure your awake when he leaves. <3 You're asleep when he comes back tho
Warfpat
He is a complete ass whether he realizes it or not 😭 I have a hc that no matter where he goes, goofy ass jazzy music follows him, so good luck
He makes lizard noises in your ear to test how deep of a sleeper you are snsnskfds
I'm sorry he loves you but he has. So much fun with you 😭
Probably interviews you and asks about your day and stuff and then pans to your chair which is empty because you fell of it in your sleep
He loves you but your lowkey going to have to get a restraining order if you want even a smidge of sleep around him</3

Druig x Hecate!Eternal Reader (AKA Kaetlyn) Headcanons Part 1
Tumblr media
Note: Hecate!Eternal’s name is Kaetlyn (it’s still a Reader x Druig au, but it’s just easier for me to give her a name). Her powers are that of manipulating shadows and darkness. For the sake of easier writing, Kaetlyn is ENFP and Druig is INTJ. The MBTIs of the characters don’t really matter that much, but they do help me out when figuring out scenes and writing headcanons. Also, these headcanons are really Part 1 of many.
Also, because these are Druig x Reader headcanons, the reader will be referred as “You”.
In the simplest of terms, your two’s ship dynamic is very… cool & stoic on the outside, but soft on the inside (Druig) x Chaotic Dumbass Sunshine who hides their crippling anxiety (You)
You are clingy…like VERYYYYY clingy
But Druig LIVES for the fact that you love his attention so much, and genuinely thinks that you are the most adorable creature in the whole f*cking universe
Druig is constantly pissed off at everyone on the team except the following: You, Makkari, Sephia, and Thena (he drinks his respect women juice every damn day without fail)
Phastos and Gilgamesh are cool, but Gilgamesh is low-key kind of hyper for him (so are you, but at least you have the excuse of being the light of his life); also, he mostly just teases Phastos for his inventions
He also gets along with Sersi, but he low-key thinks she’s too much of a follower with how well she gets along with Ikaris and reveres Ajak
He assumed the same of you when you all first arrived on Earth, given how you and Kingo were pretty close to one another (very chaotic sibling-like antics)
But then he saw you throw a sandal at Ikaris’ face when he commented that you were too “menacing” to wear any of the human clothing gifted to you from the village women for all the childbirths you aided (leaving a VERY red imprint that resulted in a broken nose with how hard you threw it)
And then you basically converted your room at the Domo into a secret laboratory to sneak in all the Deviants you killed to study their anatomy & physiology, and just slept in Sephia’s room – all without Ajak’s permission!
You got in a HUGE amount of trouble, but you were stubborn in your belief that the deviants had to have shared some common anatomical features to target; and by studying them, this information would make killing them so much easier
It pissed Ikaris so much when Ajak ended up approving of your research (lol, what a loser), and it made you sooooo happy
To say he was intrigued – and little turned on – from that point on was a severe understatement
You, on the other hand, were fond of Druig pretty much from the beginning you laid eyes on him
Despite your stubbornness and hyperactive attitude, you were extremely observant and intuitive of those around you (you had to be, you were literally a shadow assassin), so when your gut told you that there was more than meets the eye when it came to someone – you listened
And you were not disappointed when it came to Druig
You adored how he wasn’t super showy in his kindness and affection towards humans, and you could see in the huge amount of love he had for them in his eyes
You would always try to make conversation with him, and try to get to know him so that you two could at least be friends
So, when HE was the first to approach you for conversation, you were over the moon – and it didn’t help how hypnotic you found his blue eyes to be, along with how soft his voice would get in teasing you, not to mention how soft his lips looked whenever he talked!
Makkari and Sephia both knew about your crush, and they (mostly Makkari) loved to tease you over it (but they were your #1 shippers); so did Kingo, but he thought something was wrong with you (your shadow slapped his head for that)
Druig was skeptical at first, and rebuffed your multiple attempts to befriend him – until Makkari literally smacked his head at learning this, and told him how nice you were and you honestly admired him
He decided to make amends to you by approaching you first for once – only to be sucker punched in the gut at your earnest warmth and affection towards him, and all those guarded walls came crashing down
He was NOT prepared to experience so much wholesomeness in someone who was LITERALLY the master of shadows and darkness, and he was even LESS prepared to discover how introspective you actually were compared to how you present yourself to others
He starts noticing things about you that just make him feel so warm and fuzzy, and it’s freaking him out; like how you will always have your arms open for those who civilization called “monsters” and “cursed”; always treating their wounds, making them laugh with your shadows, hiding them from real monsters (their abusers), etc.
When he asked you why you preferred their company, you explained to him that you knew what it was like to be judged by everyone around you – even going into detail of how insecure you were of your powers because some people (Ikaris & Sprite) liked to call you a monster
You then went on to tell him that you always seemed so happy and bubbly as a way for others not to see you as an enemy – and that you were so grateful for friends like Sephia and Makkari because they didn’t use your powers as an excuse to avoid you, and openly accepted you as a friend
You also go into detail that you didn’t like to use your powers that much, because you didn’t want to be seen as someone who takes pleasure in controlling others; that’s why you wanted to learn how to make medicine, so that you would be seen as helpful and not like a monster
Druig was blown away by how similar the two of you actually were to one another – he used his aloofness as a way to rebuff the others’ assumptions, while you used a mask of sunshine and happiness to avoid being excluded, but the two of you both understood the fear of rejection
And when he learned that you intended to use your skills in studying anatomy & physiology to hopefully study humans to help them (especially the women who go through childbirth and diseases) develop medicines and healing practices with Sephia (who you convinced to develop medicinal herbs and fruits)
You fell first, but he fell FAR HARDER
But you two wouldn’t get together for a couple of centuries because the two of you are convinced that the other is too good for someone like them, and so the mutual pining would continue for AGES (driving Makkari absolutely INSANE because her OTP is not getting together, like whyyyyyyy?????)
Makkari and Sersi totally have ranting sessions about how their dumbass friends aren’t getting together like they want them to
Also, your room is both a secret zoo and a mad surgeon’s laboratory
When it comes to animals (especially magical and strange ones), you have ZERO self-control, and Druig only encourages it
You found a newborn Doberman puppy with a little white spot on his belly so you named him Cerberus (Cerby for short), and when you were learning magic under Agamotto, your magic went a tiny bit haywire so then the baby pup got three heads instead of one
He typically only is shown with one head, but when he gets REALLY MAD, he will grow HUGE and with the 3 heads
Cerby’s favorites (after you) are the following: Druig, Sephia, Makkari, Thena, and Gilgamesh (bc Cerby will always be baby to them); but he gets along with everyone
Except Ikaris because he doesn’t like how the blue man is mean to his magic shadow mommy
Druig questions everything, and you want to know EVERYTHING…so naturally you are perfect for one another and NO ONE is surprised when the two of you finally get together
As always, please remain respectful and kind! If you liked these headcanons, please like/comment/reblog for more!

Part iv.
For the life of me I still can't think of a proper title for this. But yeah this is Part iv of my take on SAGAU/Imposter AU! I am so tempted to give this an embarrassing title like I did with the Fungi one lmfao.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
yeah. that's it. that's the whole scene. i think y'all know where this is going. i started this thing with one ending in mind- and it won't take very long because I only planned to write until the Sumeru Arc. ehe. maybe some snippets if someone drops an ask or smth.
For the sake of my sanity I'm going to limit Reader's powers to whatever I mentioned in Part ii and adding the one in this.
'nyways.
Tumblr media
The Million Dollar Mora question, can reader Teleport?
Short answer? Yes. Long answer? They can Teleport like in game: whenever and wherever, even in a middle of a fight, they can nyooooom tf outta there, easy. The only difference is that, while doing so, the world, or rather, time doesn't stop. It was both a blessing and a curse - reader can escape from the most enemies but for faster ones?
As a Xiao main, it's becoming more and more scarier for them to imagine meeting them.
Dammit, they can't even enjoy being an Ex-Deus Machina!
The plan after.. kidnapping the inventor of course involve somewhere to hide after: a safehouse, if you will. And after a bit more planning which involved going at Enkanomiya and surveying the area and looting the place with usable weapons (reader got a spear and a short sword) without interacting with any of the ghost, reader made a make shift camp at the little cave underneath a run down stairs somewhere around Mt. Tianheng.
A few more days passed with them hiding and watching from the shadows at some of the buildings to observe the Harbor itself, noting and setting traps at some of the alleyways.
And yeah did reader mentioned they have super strength now? Yeah. One of their daggers got nearly lost when they were training with throwing them, and then was frantically looking at the ground and suddenly noticing they've lifted up a tree to check underneath it's hollow.
"Huh? What.." and proceeds to uproot a whole Sandbearer Tree, just to check. "The actual fuck.." and then throwing that tree towards the lone lawachurl in the area, killing it instantly.
"..."
Yeah but reader still wants that gun. Unfortunately they can't test how durable their body is now, especially when they're going into a literal do-or-die mission and they can't waste their time anymore training this new ability so they just have to make do.
Just their luck that it doesn't activate unless they wanted it to.
Four days after arriving at Liyue Harbor, Reader adjusts their cloak; mask in place and daggers in position underneath their sleeves. Sighing, they jumped off the roof they were hiding to greet their target.
Damn. How badly they wish for their team to be here.
Tumblr media
"Hello, Gentry Maocai."
Reader nods, impressed, when the man immediately pulled out a short knife. Honestly, they expected the guards with swords but not the man to have weapon on himself. But hey, must be reader starting to get incompetent; they haven't had proper training in Diplomacy for months.
Raising their hands, Reader tried to show that they're not an enemy.
"Not an enemy?! You must be with that Harbinger who attacked us last night!"
Aw, man. Fucking timing, amiright?
Releasing a defeated sigh after beating his guards to a pulp and realizing the man was gone, Reader nods to themselves as they jumped up the roof and wobbled. Yep, deeefinitely getting rusty.
For a guy whose wearing those long-ass clothes, he's fast. Not as fast as reader though.
"Gentry Maocai? What seems to b-" Aw, shit.
"Get away from me!" yelled the frazzled man, swiping his weapon to the man in front of him. The latter merely dodged to the side, as if facing something inconsequental.
I mean, he's not wrong.
He's the Geo Archon, after all.
Gentry Maocai doesn't know this, of course, so he tried to swipe his knife again in his haste to get away. Another swift dodge and Maocai groan in frustration, before he aimed for the man's chest with a growl.
Vortex Vanquisher appeared right then, shimmering in gold as it parries the metal. Zhongli kicked it off his hands, before reaching for Maocai's clothes.
Annnnnddd that's my cue!
Jumping from the roof they're perched on, Reader activated their ability and swooped down. Predictably, Zhongli noticed in an instant, pushing Maocai on the side and raising his weapon to parry Reader's daggers.
Their weapons clashed with a resounding: 'BOOM!' before the ground Zhongli was standing at caved down and shatters. With the impact's blast, it pushed everything within a five meters or so away -
- including Reader's hood.
A small gasp was heard from the Geo Archon in that split second, before he was flying through several buildings after Reader kicked them away.
Well, oops.
Reader snatched Maocai quickly and ran to an alley where they Teleported to the safehouse in Enkanomiya.
Tumblr media
Maocai dug in his meal with a vengeance, sprawled besides the small camp fire Reader made two hours prior. He's still reeling from the events earlier. Dammit, he was supposed to be eating at Xinyue Kiosk right now, not some.. what even is he eating??
"It's fish."
He yelps in surprise, glaring at Reader. Did he say that out loud?
"You did." He didn't, Reader is just guessing, but the man was sputtering in his seat it's hard not to bully him a little. "Look, just take my offer and we're good! I get my guns and you get your money!"
"I need to go home!"
Reader wave their hands frantically. "Old Man, didn't you say a Harbinger just attacked you yesterday? How can you go back there when you're not even sure about your safety?"
Maocai gave Reader a scathing look, "And you think you're better? You kidnapped me!!"
"You're body's probably on its way to Wangsheng Funeral Parlor if I left you there."
"Nonsense!"
"Yes-sense!"
"What???" came the dumbfounded reply.
Reader sighed and placed down their plate at the side. "You know, if you agreed earlier, you could be finished by now!"
The man gave a look of disbelief. "Are you stupid?! You can't finish building a prototype by hours!"
"I'll give you four months."
"Incorrigible!"
"Two months then."
Gentry Maocai finished the prototype within one and a half month.
Tumblr media
Part i. Part ii. Part iii.

Les, the cinnamon roll of the last three centuries
of the last THREE??? damn, that’s a long time.
leshem jacobs (I don’t know if that’s actually his canon full name, but it’s the one I’m going with) is an iconic character, okay? he just is.
les is the youngest of the jacobs children by five years, and believe me, david and sarah make that known. he gives off the biggest youngest child energy, and he honestly can’t comprehend why everything can’t just go his way. like, are you sure? are you sure you can’t just let him get whatever he wants? really? you- you aren’t? huh. that’s a new one.
he is the ONLY straight newsie (I will die on this hill, okay), but you can bet everything that he is the biggest ally. would he be a frat boy? yes. would he cheer for all of the sports teams? yes. would he break someone’s nose if they insulted one of his queer friends? probably try to knock out a tooth, too.
(he and tommy boy can join a frat together.)
(that’s really funny, and you know it)
he hates coffee. the smell’s great, but he refuses to drink it.
the first time he caught jack and davey together, he just gave them a Look and asked if jack was trying to date the whole family.
sarah taught him how to throw a punch, and the first thing seven year old les did with that knowledge is get david right in the gut. it was hilarious. when he became a newsie, and jack asked him if he knew how to punch, les demonstrated his abilities the exact same way. jack’s jaw DROPPED.
finch tried to teach him how to use a slingshot, but he ended up accidentally shooting specs in the back of the head first try. that was the end of that.
race taught him all of the curse words in italian.
spot did the same with spanish later.
he may be able to read and write well enough to attempt to teach most of the newsies this skillset, but he can’t spell to save his life. there’s really no specific reason why. he just can’t.
after he spent a day with henry, he loudly proclaimed that he wanted to run a deli like henry’s dad did. davey had to pull him aside to explain to him that he wouldn’t be able to eat most of the stuff he was making, because that wouldn’t be keeping kosher. les had never been so disappointed, I swear to god-
one time, he told a girl he liked that he knew how to play the piano to impress her. he couldn’t. at all. he then forced david to teach him so at least he wouldn’t be totally lying.
his favorite color’s red. jack calls it treason to manhattan.
(les picked it because of spot, but jack didn’t need to know that bit.)

series masterlist
Tumblr media
Something was up with Peter. It didn’t take a super genius to tell you that. Honestly, something seems off with the whole group of Avengers.
This internship doesn’t have a direction, nor a clear purpose. Not that you’re complaining, but you are rather confused. Some days, you help Steve and Bucky with adjusting to modern customs and such, others you help Natasha Romanoff herself return to her old dance hobby.
It’s given you an escape from your extracurriculars and school work, something to do when you weren’t sending pictures of random files to your absentee parents.
Speaking of them, they stopped in a week after your internship started, though they were gone two days later. They only spoke a total of 538 words to you. And yes. You counted.
And just like that they were gone again, off to meetings and whatnot. It was tiring, and you were just about ready to chew them out like Peter has been suggesting recently.
But you can’t bring yourself to. So instead, you throw yourself into school. It’s not even mid September, but you’ve been keeping your GPA a lovely 4.0 with minimal effort.
So in your spare time, you investigate everything you can about this “internship”. The first suspicious thing is that the September Grant, the supposed name of the internship, is actually a grant Tony Stark made to MIT a while back.
Not long after, you realize that Peter himself doesn’t really know what the internship is for. Every time, his answer seems to change. At first, it was a science and technology research opportunity, then, it was a business experience, then it was a look into the daily lives of Avengers.
Then came the topic of Spider-Man. You were yet to see the masked vigilante, and the whole team seems to clam up anytime you mention said hero.
Especially Peter. He physically jumped the last time you brought up the absence of the Spider-man, clearing a foot into the air.
And that’s when your suspicions began. Peter’s nimbleness, the internship being off, the secrecy.
It’s 10:42 PM one night after another day at Avengers Tower when you figure it out. You have several post-it notes plastered on the wall that your bed is pushed up against, connected by thread. You truly are crazy.
But you’re also right.
Peter Parker is Spider-Man.
That’s the only logical explanation in your mind.
But you need to put it to the test. Spider-Man is probably patrolling right now. So you call Peter on FaceTime, waiting patiently as you open your window and sit on the ledge.
He doesn’t answer, but you smile nonetheless. A text pops up.
Tumblr media
And in the heat of the moment, you take a second to think about your next course of action.
On one hand, you could be honest, come clean and provide a good support system for Peter. There’s no way that balancing school and vigilante-ing is easy.
On the other hand, he wasn’t honest with you. You’re not upset, but you do want to have some fun. A bit of playful revenge, perhaps.
So you decide to tease him.
Tumblr media
And with that, you turn off your phone and go to bed.
Meanwhile, Peter is in crisis. “Stay safe”? The winky face? He’s so distracted by your texts that he swings directly into a pigeon, apologizing to the bird as he refocuses on his route.
There’s no way you know he likes you. He’s been so careful. You can’t know.
Right?
———————————————————————
The internship is so much more fun now that you know Peter’s Spider-Man. The whole damn thing being a cover-up? Hilarious, even if you can’t figure out why he would lie about that. Maybe there’s another secret you don’t know?
You’ve also begun to pose questions to the team that toe the line of exposing the whole story, watching the Earth’s mightiest superheroes squirm as they make excuses for their youngest member.
It’s a lot of fun. Especially at school.
Like now, as you lean by his locker. Your outfit of choice was some ripped jeans and a cropped sweater, making the best of the slowly cooling weather. A dainty gold chain sits across your neck, flashing in the ugly fluorescent lights of Midtown Tech’s hallway.
Peter manages to keep his eyes at a respectful height, other than when he dropped his book and picked it up, catching the tiniest glimpse of a diamond piercing in your belly button.
“So I was thinking you could swing by and we could study for that physics test. Ms. Warren’s been kicking my ass lately with all of these quizzes,” you suggest, empohasizing “swing”. Peter seems to miss your insinuation, instead shoving you lightly.
“You’ve been acing those quizzes, you liar,” he laughs. “I’ll be over around 7:30.” You nod, waving goodbye as you head to class. You barely take a few steps down the hallway when your friend Evie pops out from a nearby locker, practically dragging you to the ground as she jumps up and grabs your shoulders.
“I saw you with Peter. Have you asked him out yet?,” she singsongs, linking an arm with yours as you head to AP History together. Even if she seems like a ditz, she’s one of the most kid-smart people you’ve ever met. She definitely has a future in pediatrics or teaching.
But not in being discreet. You shush her. “How about you don’t let the whole school know? And besides, I don’t think he likes me like that, ya know?”
Evie shakes her head as you take your seats in Mr. Dells classroom, leaning your head against the window as you wait for the bell to ring. But it’s taking longer than usual, leaving your friend plenty of time to harass you.
“You should see the way he looks at you, hon. That boy is whipped.” She sighs, tugging out her textbook. “If I didn’t swing the other way I’d make a move.” You swat at her, chuckling as she dodges your hands.
With that, the bell blares out and Mr. Dell enters the room precisely on time, as usual. He’s carrying one one of those little ready-made bowls that you add an egg to, and the signature stench fills the air as everyone tries to hide their gags. Everyone liked the mild-mannered teacher, but his little snacks are enough to repulse even the strongest of stomachs. Including yours, as it turns out.
You make it through the class without puking, stumbling into the hallway in a rush. You run to lunch, desperately wanting to find food. You pass through the line quickly, grabbing a tray as you search for your friends. They flag you down, and you set your tray down before remembering the stack of papers in your hand.
“Shit. I’ve gotta go give this to MJ, she needed the articles for her History research paper.” You hurry over to her table, waving at Peter and Ned.
“Ready for the first day of Decathlon?” you ask. She nods, taking the papers gratefully.
“You’re a lifesaver, (Y/N).” She not-so-discreetly eyes Peter, wiggling her eyebrows as he glares at her.
You roll your eyes with a smile. “Please. I’m just helping a friend.” You wryly turn to Peter. “And friends can tell friends anything, you know that, right? You don’t have to keep secrets.” You tap his shoulder and walk back to your table.
You don’t want him to feel like he has to hide that he’s Spider-Man. The pressure couldn’t be good for him. Hopefully, he caught your insinuation.
Little do you know, while he definitely caught it, he missed the point.
“Holy shit she definitely knows I like her,” he rambles, sweating bullets as MJ and Ned interrogate him.
“Dude, there’s no way. You said you were super careful about it, right?” Ned asks, pretending to check his phone as he stares at your table.
“It doesn’t matter,” MJ says. “She likes you back.”
“She just friendzoned me!” Peter protests loudly, causing a few people to give him sympathetic looks. His friend rolls her eyes.
“You are so dense, you know that?”
———————————————————————
“Welcome to a new year of Academic Decathlon, kids,” Mr. Harrington announces, a smile on his face. “We have two coaches this year: Ms. Jones and Ms. (L/N).”
You and MJ wave before fist bumping each other. Your high level of emotions combined with MJ’s level head and mildly apathetic nature would be a great way to provide different perspectives to the team.
Introductions pass, and then some basic questions to get a feel for how experienced everyone is. There are a few new freshmen, but they manage to keep up as you and MJ fire off question after question.
“The Napster copyright dilemma differs from that of earlier technologies because…?” you ask.
Peter taps the bell. “The Internet is more difficult to regulate.”
“Correct.”
MJ steps up next. “The printing process in which ink is forced into recessed lines is called…?”
When no one provides the answer, you respond. “It’s called intaglio.”
She looks up, mildly impressed. “Correct. Thank you, (Y/N).”
The rest of practice goes by in a flash, with you both drilling the facts into the team’s heads.
At 5:00, you leave the school, relishing in your day off. With no internship, you’re ready to relax. You take a detour, passing by a street performer shredding their violin. You recognize the piece. Arensky: Violin Concerto in A Minor, Op 54. You played it at a concert two years back. You tip the performer and move on.
Slowly, you amble along Queens’s busy sidewalks, passing all sorts of characters. As a few dogs pass you by, you consider getting a pet. Your parents would be pissed, but they wouldn’t even know for a while.
As you calculate how much it would cost to buy all of the supplies for a cat, you’re suddenly stopped by a bout of yelling. A few feet ahead of you, a man is stealing a bike, snapping the chain and preparing to ride off. Straight at you.
A flash of red and blue darts in front of you. Spider-Man stops the thief, webbing him up effortlessly. In turn, you catch the bike before it hits the concrete, propping it up on its kickstand.
“Is this anyone's bike?” you ask, hoisting it up best you can. No response. Truly, New York is the city of hospitality.
“Does anyone have a pen?” the masked hero asks, turning around and awkwardly miming out the motions of writing. You nod, handing off a fancy ballpoint. As he writes on a notecard, you lean forward, supporting yourself on the bike.
“Soooo… Where’d you learn about the Napster copyright dilemma?” you inquire casually.
“Oh, on a documentary about-“ He catches himself. “Um, the what?” Caught in 4k, you think to yourself.
“Oh, my bad. You just remind me of a friend of mine.”
Peter finished writing, placing the note on top of the bike and passing the pen back to you. “Really? What’s he like?”
You smile, choosing each word precisely. “He’s really sweet, a great friend, super smart, too,” you say, walking backwards to continue talking to the hero. “He’s shy, gets flustered easily. He lives nearby, actually.”
Peter steps right into your trap. “What- what’s his name?” he asks, failing to appear casual and cool. You smirk.
“Flash Thompson.”
As Spider-Man chokes on air, you laugh, deciding to take some heat off of your disguised friend.
“I’m kidding, I’m kidding,” you promise, laughing. “His name’s Peter. But from the way you reacted, I’m guessing you know Flash?”
Behind the mask, Peter hesitates. No harm in telling you, right? “Yeah, I’ve met him before. Not my favorite guy.”
“Fair enough.” You stop, looking up. Your apartment building looms, and you frown, wishing your chat with Peter had been longer. “See you around, Spider-Man.”
“See you.”
———————————————————————
“Dude, I think she knows.” Peter frantically FaceTimes Ned and MJ as soon as you’re gone, swinging to a nearby rooftop. “She kept talking about how sweet her friend Peter was, even if he’s, quote, ‘shy, gets flustered easily’.”
“Do you think she knows that you’re Spider-Man?” MJ asks, furrowing her brows.
“No, she seemed clueless. She definitely knows something, but I don’t think it’s that.”
Ned shakes his head. “Dude. Decathlon’s coming up. How are you gonna hide it from her if something comes up like last year?”
“Well, then it’s a good thing that nothing like last year’s gonna happen,” Peter says, shuddering as he remembers Adrian Toomes. “That was too much of a mess to deal with.”
“Just- just ask her some disguised questions when you go over to study for the Physics test,” MJ suggests, mildly annoyed at the boy’s rambling. “Like, ‘Oh, is there anyone you have an eye on for Homecoming,’ or-“
“Oh my god, Homecoming.” Peter instantly groans, collapsing on the roof. “It’s already almost here, which means that the Winter Formal is almost here.”
“What’s wrong with that?” Ned asks.
“I promised the team that I would ask her out by then.”
“You did what?” Both of his friends cry in unison. Peter sighs, standing up and getting ready to return to patrolling.
“I know, I know. But I really like her. And maybe-“ He stands on the edge of the roof, one gloved finger hovering over the end call button. “-that little push is what I need.”
———————————————————————
“Are you thinking about who you want to go to Homecoming with?”
You furrow your brows. That question came from nowhere. Setting down your study guide, you shake your head.
“Honestly, I’ve been so busy with the internship, Decathlon, and school stuff that I forgot how close it is.” You eye the many pictures of your past Homecomings, moments of you and your friends frozen in time. “I’ll probably go with friends again, unless someone asks me.”
Peter really wants to ask you. But he’s not ready, at least not yet.
But maybe he can do something else. “Well, I’m thinking about making some extra plans the night of Homecoming,” he begins. “After the party, I was thinking about going to Coney Island for the Fall Carnival, but I couldn’t find anyone to go with. Wanna come?”
You smile, wordlessly tugging him into a tight hug. He’s lucky you can’t see his flustered and blissed-out face as you squeal excitedly, bouncing on the balls of your feet.
“That sounds great, Peter.”
For you, it’s a night with your friend, plus an opportunity to offer support to his superhero career. Even if he’s not ready to tell you that he’s Spider-Man, you’ll be there for him.
For Peter, it’s a night with his friend, plus an opportunity to tell you how he really feels. He hates keeping secrets, especially when it seems you already know. He wants to come clean to you.
Well, maybe you aren’t really on the same page. But it’ll make for one hell of a night.

I can't think anyone but a handful of my mutuals will care about my opinions regarding this, but here's my thoughts on the "Castlevania: Nocturne" trailer:
Looks like we ain't getting a "Castlevania: Bloodlines" adaptation, huh? 😅
I still don't know why this team didn't have a Simon Belmont run. Dude's super recognizable and about as free as it gets for canon shenanigans. I don't think many people would argue against Simon having an ultra-violent, exploitatively gory adventure…Especially not after that whole "picking up Dracula's body parts, reanimating him, and beating the shit out of him again" situation.
I can see the appeal of writing a French Revolution "Castlevania" story, but it's a little off, too? Like, the only roughly French person was Maria, and even that's a tangential stretch based on her last name (which I think came from some university one of the game developers was associated with, if I remember correctly.) I suppose what I've gotta point out is that the intro to "Rondo of Blood" is very, very much in German, which is super unique for the series. If this story was happening outside of Romania, I'd have to peg it to Germany for that reason.   
I'd almost be certain that we're going to see Marie Antoinette die in an exploitatively gruesome fashion, but I wonder if Konami would put a stop to that. Not that they care much outside of getting cash money for licensing, of course. It's just that most Japanese media tends to have a more sympathetic view of her, so I wonder if that would filter over even to an American adaptation of a Japanese video game series. Then again, they let S3E9-10 happen, so…
Interesting spin on Orlox. There's definitely potential to play with there! Dude's almost free in terms of canon, unless you want to get into Japanese light novels post "Dawn of Sorrow." But that's way, way, way, way in the future…
Don't know why he wouldn't just kill Richter as a kid, though. Unless we're setting up some kind of "Berserk" style misery gambit.
Honestly, I almost thought Isaac would show up 300 years later with schemes to get Dracula back. A different flavor of Shaft, if you will. Although damn, does that not sound right.
Actually, what the hell kind of happy ending fuckery are they going to do with what happened at the end of S4? That was surprisingly rainbows out the ass for this series. Like…When did Lisa die again? How does Dracula react to that? How fucked up did the CV3 hero set end up afterwards? Something had to put Alucard back under, right? I doubt these people would let SOTN slip by, and that definitely starts with him waking up from an extra-long nap…
There's going to be such hell-on-earth pandemonium if this interpretation of Annette also ends up as a succubus/vampire lady. Like, that's not worse than what "Berserk"'s Casca went through, but it's a disturbing enough thought... I don't know why I keep thinking of "Berserk" for a series comparison….
Also—say! That's an interesting idea, having a character from the Caribbean. You know what else is famously associated with that location? Pirates! I wonder if maybe they could have had, I don't know, some kind of knife-throwing, acrobatic pirate thief in the last series…But that would have just been silly, right? 😑
Anyone got a bead on Doctor Iris, or did Richter forget to save her?
Also, is it me, or does this Tera interpretation look more like Yoko Belnades than the character she's actually based on?
Haven't had a Netflix subscription in years. Probably will get around to seeing this at some point, but I'd like to have a buffer first. Maybe listen for the screamings of other damned souls before sticking my head into the hell portal.
Honestly, I probably would get back to that "Lupin" series first...

give Sav a man for her to flirt in front of Lio, please
ope, okay here ya go!
“Damn, this new guy is going to be fun to work with.” Savannah laughs at his latest joke. Blake is a dream interview. His answers are thoughtful and detailed. He throws in the right amount of humor, cracking jokes but being polite.
The only problem is his locker is right next to Lio’s. Savannah had tried to encourage the new guy out of the locker room for the interview, but he was on a tight schedule and it was best to ask him questions while he undressed. She can feel every flick of Lio’s gaze against her skin. Her heart squeezes in her chest just being near him. She can feel the tears against the backs of her eyes and is grateful she only has one more question left.
“What are you most excited about coming to Jersey?”
“Ah, probably the city and the team. Honestly, the Devils have a great reputation in the league. Guys like this,” He points a thumb at Lio, “Make it an attractive place to sign, so I’m looking forward to hitting the ice and seeing what he’s got.”
“Great, thanks for doing this Blake.”
“No problem, Savannah. I’m looking forward to working with you as well. Lio’s told me great things.” Savannah grits her teeth into what she hopes is a nice smile.
“Well, that’s Lio.” She murmurs. “Thanks again Blake.” Her next stop if the head coach to grab a few quotes about his new lineup.
Lio lingers on purpose for Savannah. He knows she’ll be heading into the rink to start writing her story where the cool air helps her focus the most. He shrugs his jacket on, giving Blake his number before he leaves so they can grab a beer later tonight.
When he gets back out to the rink, he watches Savannah through the window in the door for a moment. He sees her bring her fingers up to the corners of her eyes, then hide her face in her hands. Her shoulders shake.
What happens next feels like a romcom horror movie. Blake comes strolling into the stands from the upstairs door. He makes his way down to Savannah, wrapping his arm around her shoulders to bring her into his chest.
Savannah is taken aback for a moment, but his chest is so comfortable and solid, she accepts it. Her fingers grip his back tightly. She can’t even put together words to this man she just met to thank him for being so kind.
“I don’t know what is wrong, but if this is over a dude, he is not worth it.” Savannah laughs through her tears. She’s told herself the same thing many nights the last month, but it doesn’t take away the sting of loving and losing Lio Meier.
Lio’s heart launches into his throat at the way Savannah’s fingers grip his new teammates back. She used to grip his back like that. She did the night he made love to her. He can feel himself beginning to tear up. Lio Meier is not a crier, but god damn it if there aren’t tears blurring his vision. Then, Savannah leans back her head and laughs, letting Blake wipe a few stray tears off her face. Lio is sick watching the whole thing. 
We still on for that beer? Blake texts him later.
Sorry, dude. Something came up. Lio responds, then pulls the comforter over his head, hoping sleep will take away the acidic pain eating a hole through his heart.

I woke up and read the chapter, and I was so nervous that sometimes I'd have to put my phone down, walk around my house and then resume reading, you're that good!!!
Phillip playing mind games with our girl by saying how much he loves her? By giving her the old white coat?? Bitch if you loved her, she wouldn't be going through this shit, is2g-
Shephard helping Canary snoop on him and Makarov?? Like I wonder if Shephard's been in touch with Price or maybe Laswell as well, finding the right moment to let Canary get the necessary info she'd need for her visit to the club.
I almost lost my breath when I saw everyone acting hostile! Making her drink salty af, her food raw.....on top of all the abuse and humiliation???? Canary is a better woman than me cuz I'd be throwing punches left and right at that! 👊👊
Plus when Valeria spilt her drink all over her......I swear my heart broke a little at that.(totally not cuz I'm in love with that woman, not at all </3)
And the relief when Ghost found Canary in the bathroom, finally saw what she's been going through and Canary finally cleared up everything!!! Like YES! GO CANARY'S PROTECTION TEAM, GO! [plus now she cannot hear Nikto call her that nickname, damn you Makarov]
(Although they couldn't protect her from getting shot tho💀)
When Price finally found out and was being all gentle and kissing the crown of her head and all??? I swear my heart melted (I think I might be forming a soft spot for our beloved Captain fr)
I think she won't die, just yet....but Canary might go through something in the upcoming chapters that make her wish she did.
And as much as I dread what's in store for her, I can hardly wait for it all to pass so she can finally enact revenge on those asshats. She deserves to have her "I-killed-these-men-cuz-they-wronged-me" and for Price to support her while she raises hell, or to raise hell for her himself....in case y'know, she's gone for good. (you can't hurt me, I'm prepared for the worst now 😭)
You're so good and you just made my week with the new chapter! Hope you have a great July<33333
- 🍄
honestly that was how i felt while planning it out and writing it sometimes, i’d think of something and then have to do a lap around my living room LOL
mob!graves is very much a man who needs things to in his control at all times. he knows they’re going to see the 141, and that canary very clearly had something going on with price and graves needs her to either be too distracted to think about price or (better for him) think there’s a small hope of him making things better for her with makarov and that he’ll try to protect her from him. graves might care for her but she’s more a possession to him, a trophy he’s won by being favored by her father and he doesn’t want to just let that go.
shepherd’s kind of a mystery right now, like he’s very clearly working against price but i think seeing what type of men he’s gotten in bed with has him rethinking whether he’s really on the better side of this whole ordeal.
i think if canary was in a better mental-emotional state, she probably would’ve. or at least she would’ve said something to graves and played it in her favor, because disrespecting the wife of the man you’re trying to make a deal with??? graves may not care for canary like he should but that’s still his wife, an extension of him, and he wouldn’t let that slide.
i love and hate that scene with valeria because it’s so petty and complete mean girl behavior but also i love valeria and if she hadn’t done that, canary never would’ve taken off the coat, ghost wouldn’t have seen the bruises, and they wouldn’t have tried to help her sooo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
ghost being the one to find her was always going to be the plan, and i think given what they now know about each other there’s going to be a kind of mutual understanding between the two…..after the groveling of course 😉 and yes, canary’s going to have a hard time with being away from graves and makarov. having to get re-accustomed to things like nikolai’s nickname for her, any kind of touching, her paranoia over being randomly taken for interrogation, it’s a lot she’s gonna have to heal from.
alskdjdj they really couldn’t 💀 but maybe someone got graves back for that 👀
price cares for canary a lot, like yeah he was rude to her about being with graves but he also was under the impression this woman he’s madly in love has betrayed him and purposely put his family in danger. he realizes how wrong he was now of course and they will have to do a lot of work to get their relationship even remotely close to where they were at before, but he knows the truth now and he’s gonna do whatever he has to make sure she knows she’s safe and that no one is going to touch her again.
canary still has a lot to go through, but it’ll all work towards a better future and that happy ending that she so rightfully deserves!!
she’s absolutely gonna get her revenge, her full john wick/season 8 daenerys/beyoncé with a baseball bat moment and the 141 are gonna be in full support of her because she deserves it and it takes care of their enemies!!! she may let price and the 141 get a few hits in, but it’s her revenge and she will have it.
thank you so so much, you’re so incredibly sweet and i hope you have a wonderful week/weekend!!! 💜

why bumi II becoming an airbender is a bad writing choice and how it undoes all of his off-screen character development: an overanalysis.
idk how to start this one so i’m just gonna jump right in the deep end. bumi II becoming an airbender in LoK b3 was a bad choice and stripped him from his individuality as a nonbender in a family of strong, powerful benders.
this isn’t about the harmonic convergence storyline. that’s a whole different thing. i think it worked well (though they could’ve built up the importance/significance of HC from earlier on rather than 2eps before it happened) and the factory reset on airbender population to restore balance kinda makes sense. what i DON’T think made sense is the fact that throughout s2 we are introduced to aang and katara’s NONBENDER son who mentions his past struggles with being a nonbender in a family of significant benders (HIS PARENTS ARE LITERALLY THE AVATAR AND A MASTER WATERBENDER. DAMN.). though it’s not a main focus in the show, and he communicates through throwaway lines, we can still easily grasp an idea of bumi’s past and young adulthood. most importantly, he was a commander in the united forces, he spent lots of time trying to make his father proud even though he wasn’t a bender, and he was aware that he felt this made him less ‘special’ than tenzin or kya (mostly tenzin). (btw this is not true bumi! you are special!!!!!!)
so we have this full grown 60-something man throwing small bits of his childhood/young adulthood around, and we can sorta piece together that it took him a while to come to terms with being a nonbender. this isn’t explicitly said but i’m gonna assume that he became a commander in the united forces to try and gain a sense of power, respect and authority as the least powerful of his siblings/parents.
side note- where does sokka come into this? not a single mention of uncle sokka?? NONBENDER uncle sokka???? c’mon bumi… c’mon LoK writing team…
anyways so yeah my point is that BUMI BEING A NONBENDER IS ESSENTIAL TO HIS CHARACTER. it is a defining thing in his life and in his backstory as a character. SO WHY WOULD THEY STRIP THIS FROM HIM ??????
making bumi and airbender puts him back into a box he was trying to crawl out of his entire life. it means he’s second-best again. it means that regardless of bumi’s successes, tenzin (as an airbender) will always be on top. it strips bumi of his off-screen, pre-LoK character development. it ignores the entire plot of b1 (imbalances in power between benders and nonbenders hellooo????) it reinforces the idea that maybe nonbenders aren’t so special after all.
and that sucks.
i think bumi (as a character) was good as a successful nonbender, retired commander, fun uncle. i don’t think anyone benefited from him becoming an airbender, and his character was dragged back to square one because of it.
it’s a little sad, honestly. when thinking about bumi, there’s so much the writers could’ve done with him (and with kya. and with tenzin. and with their family. let’s explore this more c’mon bryke!) that just falls flat now that bumi’s nonbender identity is kinda gone.
we had more than enough airbenders. and while from a plot perspective it’s fine that bumi was one of them, we didn’t need him to be.

Silly little BSD fanfic for @did-i-do-this-write ‘s Finding the Write Time challenge
“Don’t you think you’ve had enough?” Dazai asks. He gently grabs Chuuya’s glass out of his hands and chugs it himself.
“Oi that was mine!”
“Not anymore~”
Chuuya gently punches Dazai’s shoulder. Dazai grabs it and playfully yelps.
“Owww! Ow ow ouch! Chuuyaaaa, I just got it relocated! It’s still so painful~“ He smirks as Chuuya rushes to apologize, “Kidding. Well, kind of. It hurt but not that bad.”
“You bastard-“
“Hey, Chuuya?” Dazai turns back towards the bar and rests his elbows on it, “Remember when I pulled that trick during our fight with Lovecraft?” His eyes look slightly glazed over between the alcohol and the memory. It had been a while since they teamed up but the fight with Lovecraft only solidified the fact that they were the perfect team. Dazai as the brains (and off switch for Chuuya’s power), Chuuya as the brawn.
“Wha- oh yea you said you were dying and all. Real funny.” Chuuya says sarcastically, quietly sneaking another drink from the bartender. Dazai notices, but simply rolls his eyes and lets Chuuya drink half of it before stealing the rest.
“I thought it was funny,” Dazai smiles, but it doesn’t quite reach his eyes, “I miss going on missions with you.”
“Should’ve thought about that before joining the damned Detective Agency.” Chuuya shoots back lightheartedly as he attempts to grab his drink from Dazai.
“Yea…but my life has improved so much since then.”
“So has mine without you pestering me all the time.”
Dazai chuckles, then shakes Chuuya’s shoulder, “I could go back to that~ I do have your number, Chibi.”
“Oh shut up, I will block your damn number.” Chuuya shakes Dazai back.
“Honestly though,” Dazai stirs the drink, “I am happier. I feel like I have something to live for. Leaving the Port Mafia was the best decision. I just wish…” he trails off.
“Just wish Oda didn’t have to die for it, huh?” Chuuya looks solemnly at his drink.
“Yea.”
They’re both quiet for several minutes, until Dazai suddenly chugs the rest of the drink. He hops off the stool and grabs Chuuya’s arm.
“Let’s go somewhere else, shall we?” Dazai suggests, “We could go to your place.”
“Oh yea?” Chuuya says, trying to sound seductive and failing miserably. he hops off of his stool and nearly falls over, “Woah-“
“I told you not drink more than your limit.” Dazai smirks, “But you never listen. Cmon, you should get home. You are gonna have the worst hangover tomorrow.”
“What’s it with ya trying to get into my damn house?” Chuuya asks as Dazai steadies him and starts heading out.
“Your place is so much better than mine. Mine is just a one bed one bath apartment. You live in a whole penthouse.”
“Mafia pays well,” Chuuya mutters, then puts his hand up to his mouth. “Dazai I think I’m gonna-“
They rush home after Chuuya throws up. Dazai tucks Chuuya into bed and brushes his fingers through Chuuya’s ginger hair.
“I do miss spending time with you,” he murmurs. Chuuya doesn’t respond.
“You asleep already Chibi?” No response. “Ah…well then…” Dazai leans down and kisses Chuuya’s forehead. “Goodnight. I…” he hesitates.
He stands up and sighs, “I love you Chuuya. And I hope to spend more time with you. Someday I’ll tell you that…someday.”

I'm going to say Delena BUT I'm going to be mean you're only allowed one (1) song no more, and also Jude and Cardan???
Gracie this is SO mean!!!
DELENA:
my favorite moment is honestly, forever and ever, the deathbed scene where Damon repents of all his sins and says the trajectory of his whole messed up life was worth it because he met Elena, and Elena says she doesn't need to have met a perfect version of him because she likes him now, just the way he is. and then she KISSES HIM 😱😍🙈
see the thing is I think Damon and Elena are wholesome!!! and I simply reject any part of canon which implies otherwise. it is possible to be wholesome and still be sexy as all get-out
IF I AM ONLY ALLOWED ONE (screaming crying throwing up) then I guess it has to be "Live Fast, Die Young" by Frank Turner, because the WHOLE THING is about rejecting the false promise of eternal youth and having the courage to grow old with someone!! "on my seventieth birthday I'll see you right here / and together we will watch the sunset / there's no one in my coffin, there's nothing in my grave / and I'm tired of being damned, I'd rather be saved"
who is doing it like them??? nobody!!!! I do believe El and Orion are maybe as close as it gets though!! they have the holding-each-other-back-from-the-edge, the mutual antagonism, the one that everybody wants choosing the one that nobody wants
babe, what kind of AU have I not stuck them in already?? someday when I teach at a university and I've got the fodder to fill in the blanks, I would really love to write my "Elena goes to college in s5 and Damon goes to another, rival college without telling her, and they prank each other's colleges by day and team up to terrorize frat boys by night" AU
Damon and Elena come in at number 6 on the all-time favorites list!
JUDE AND CARDAN:
I'm very partial to the line that's something like "I've said he could make a compliment cut, but he could also say something nasty and make it feel like being truly seen" (that was a terrible paraphrase and I apologize)
the structure of their story may be wholesome, but they, themselves, are absolutely fucked up (affectionate)
they're a reputation couple!!! I award them "So It Goes". "you did a number on me, but honestly, baby, who's counting"
nobody has the same total lack of morals combined with the saturation of "that's my wife!" energy except Lex and Lana from Smallville 🤷‍♀️
my first instinct is switch who's human and who's fae, except that's kind of already the trajectory of the story? I think maybe an AU where Jude does become a warrior and not a spy could be really interesting!
Jude and Cardan come in at #9!
