Diluc

Diluc sighed as he put away the last dried glass onto the shelve behind him, finally being able to breath properly.. or at least that's what he had hoped for, but a particular customer was being really roudy today.

The man in question was a travelling bard, originating from Fontaine, who recently came to Mondstadt. He begged Diluc to let him perform at Angel's Share, hoping to make some money to continue his travels.

Diluc agreed after some time, yet immediately regretted it once the man started "singing". It was so out of tone, just horrible to listen to. Worst part was that, after getting paid, the bard instantly burned all of his earned money on drinks.

He got drunk rather quickly, now being loud and rude to the other customers who were starting to clear up the place since it was close to closing time.

You had been sitting on one of the tables on the lower level, a little bit further away from the crowd, but as things started to clear up, you went and sat on the bar, waiting for Diluc to finish up so you could both go home together.

After a few more minutes, it was only you and Diluc, plus the drunk man left in the tavern. Diluc tried to get him to leave kindly at first, but the man didn't respond too well to his request.

"The fuck do you want from me, you fucking asshole? Get the fuck out my sight and get me another drink!", he hiccuped in between his sentences.

When Diluc refused to serve him any more, he got even more agitated. "The fuck's that supposed to mean? Do you talk to all your customers like that you dick? 'm surprised you still got patrons, the booze isn't even that great here!"

You've had enough of it at this point. You listened to his shit far too long today, and you kept your mouth shut. But when it comes to him insulting and downplaying your boyfriend, that was were you drew a line.

So, without a word, you got up and stepped in front of Diluc, getting between the two men. As the drunkard was staring at you, confused on what you wanted from him, you took a deep breath in.

"The only asshole I see around here, is you! You ruined everyones evening today! Your so called "singing" sucked ass, and you reek of alcohol. No wonder no one wants to interact with you with how aggressive you're getting. Now, you better hurry the fuck out before I go completely insane on you calling my boyfriend such things, you coward!"

The two man looked at you, one with surprise but also some sense of pride, while the other became scared. He shrinked more and more with every word that left your mouth and by the end of your speech, he was hurrying to get out of his seat and left the tavern as quickly as his shaky feet would let him.

You sighed and turned around, facing Diluc now. "I'm sorry. I know you could have handled that yourself, but it just pissed me off how he was talking to you."

Diluc just smiled down at you, pulling you in for a quick, passionate kiss. "Don't apologize. I quite enjoyed seeing this feisty side of you. Just don't let it become a habit."

You blushed but nodded at him, which only made him chuckle. After that, you helped him finish to clean up, then went home with him. It may have been just your imagination, but you thought that he was holding you a bit closer to him this night...

Kaeya

You have been growing more and more irritated throughout the entire day as you witnessed your boyfriend Kaeya running through the city.

That was already an odd enough thing for him to do, since he was normally locked in his office the entire day. You didn't know what was going on, but still kept an eye on him whenever you saw him running by.

He didn't seem stressed or agitated, so you didn't mind too much, so long as he wasn't going to do any more overtime.

But then later, you noticed another man approaching Kaeya every so often, especially as he got closer to the end of his work day. It wasn't a knight or other shop keeper, as Kaeya had been talking to almost only those people the entire day for whatever mission he was currently on.

The man was just a normal civilian, walking up and talking to Kaeya. At first, it seemed like a normal conversation, but every time he walked up to your boyfriend again, he got progressively louder and angrier each time.

You weren't exactly happy with the situation, but you also knew that your boyfriend could handle it on his own, which was the only reason why didn't walk up to them to give that guy a piece of your own mind.

That, however, changed when you stumbled into them again. The two of them were currently standing just outside the main city gates, the two guards who keep watch looking between each other, not knowing what to do, as that guy was now full on screaming at Kaeya.

Seeing that, you wouldn't take that. If Kaeya wasn't about to tell off that man for his blatant disrespect, then you would.

You had no idea why the guy was being that way in the first place, but you also didn't care.

As you got closer to the group, his shouts became clearer to you, now understanding what he was saying.

"... damn knight of Favonius! What are you even good for, except exploiting us citizens? And you! You're the worst of them all!"

"Now, now. How about we all calm down first, and then-!", Kaeya tried to calm the man down, but he wasn't having any of it.

"No, I'm not gonna calm down! I am rightfully upset and you can't tell me what to do, Mister Knight!", the guy said in a mocking tone, it was clear he was looking down at all of them.

This was also the moment you arrived at the scene, as well. Walking straight past the two guards and Kaeya. You could feel their confused looks on your back, but you ignored them as you came to a hold in front of that guy, your face looking furious. Before he could take a breath to start another one of his monologues, you cut in.

"You shut up right now! I don't know what your fucking problem is, but I've had enough of you following around and bothering my boyfriend, yelling and insulting him." You pointed a finger to his face as you leaned more towards him, making the man back up a little, to try and get away from you.

"Is your life so miserable and boring that you have to take your frustrations out on other people? Do you have nothing else to do? Are you just that pathetic?"

You looked at him, eyes stone cold as you expectantly waited for him to answer. The guy looked from you, to Kaeya, then back to you, before he turned and ran away from the situation.

"Hmpf. That's what I thought..", you mumbled under your breath, turning around and walking into the city again, but not before grabbing Kaeya's hand and pulling him along with you.

He let you do so, having the biggest of smirks on his face as he witnessed the scene unfold before him. He made a mental note to applaud and thank you later, when you two were in the privacy of your home again..

Alhaitham

He wasn't cut out for the role of Acting Grande Sage..

Not only did he himself say that all of the time, complaining about the increase in work he had to accomodate. But all the other sages were saying the same thing, complaining to others about how Alhaitham wasn't doing enough, how he had to commit himself to the Act more.

Your boyfriend, however, paid no mind to those people, even less their complaints about him. He has already resigned from the Role of Acting Grande Sage and was only waiting for a new candidate to be chosen so he could finally step down and return to his work as the Scribe of the Academiya.

Currently, you were walking down the hallways of the Academiya, going for the elevator that would take you to the upper levels, where Alhaitham's temporary office was situated. Since he got his promotion, you always went to fetch him after the work day was done so you two could walk home together.

As you were riding the elevator upwards, you started hearing voices, getting louder and louder the closer you got to your destination. You were confused about the meaning of this, but you were bound to find out very soon.

As you arrived, you realized that Alhaitham seemed to be currently in a very heated argument with two other, older scholars. Well, more like the two of them were aggressively talking to him, while he remained silent.

Alhaitham was the only one to notice your arrival, seeing as the other two were too absorbed into their own little world, telling off your boyfriend.

You started approaching his desk, Alhaithams eyes following you as you walked up the stairs.

One of the scholars then noticed his attention wasn't on them anymore, which only served as fuel to his already bad mood and his manors.

"What, so the Acting Grande Sage now thinks he's better than us, so he doesn' have to pay attention to the "simple" people? You better turn your attention back to us because we are far from done here. I don't care if it's gonna take all night, but you have to do your work just as much as everyone else here. Just because you helped our Archon does not make you better than anyone else!"

His outburst ticked you off as you come to a sudden hold behind those two scholars, who still haven't noticed your arrival at the scene. It was silent for a few seconds as noone said another word after this.

Originally, you planned to ignore those scholars, simply walk around them to greet your boyfriend and take him home with you. But after that, it didn't feel right not to say anything.

Alhaitham noticed your change in demeanor as well. He leaned back with a slight grin on his lips, planning to enjoy what was going to follow.

"And what do you think gives you the right to talk to other people like this?", you said, tone noticeably pissed off. The scholars turned around, surprised by your sudden presence. Yet, you didn't give them a chance to answer, you just continued on.

"He is better than you, in one aspect, at least. He can hold his temper and treat other people with respect. Unlike you, he doesn't go around insulting and blaming other people for apparently not doing their work. Which isn't even true, what do you think he's doing here all day? Now, if you have nothing smart to say, please excuse us."

Upon ending your tirade, you look over to your boyfriend pointedly. He got the hint, got up and walked over to you. You took his hand as you led him towards the elevator, leaving those two scholars behind, who looked dumbfounded at you still.

You paid them no mind, however, as you tried to focus on your breathing, trying to calm down on the ride to the lower levels. After a few moments, you felt Alhaithams arm wrap around your waist.

You knew he wasn't the biggest fan of PDA, but in this situation, it seemed he could make an exception. You smiled at him, leaning against his side a bit more, but you still failed to notice the grin that was still plastered on his face from witnessing this scene...

Zhongli

Seeing as your boyfriend is the Ex-Geo Archon of the nation of Liyue, he naturally had a very expanded knowledge accumulated over the years he's been alive.

Nowadays, after giving away his gnosis, he likes to subtly share that knowledge with other people and scholars when he's not busy at his place of work.

Often times, when meeting with other scholars to discuss some topics he asked you if you wanted to accompany him. He accepts whichever answer you give him, not expecting anything from you, but he does enjoy your presence at his side.

Today, he had been invited onto the Pearl Galley to discuss some topics on ancient Liyue history with some scholars from Sumeru, and he asked for your company again.

Since you had nothing else planned for the day, you agreed to his invitation, setting off so you wouldn't miss the event shortly after.

Usually, during those meetings, you always set beside him, respectful of the people around you and the fact that you were out in public. However, somewhere along the way, you always ended up sitting in Zhongli's lap. Wether it was because you were growing uncomfortable on your chair, or simply because Zhongli wanted you closer to him, didn't matter. It just happened..

And so it did today as well. At some point, you were getting a bit bored, having heard the storys of the current topic from your boyfriend a few times already, so you decided to climb onto his lap and doze off a bit.

Zhongli didn't bat an eye to it, having already expected something like this to happen. Other people threw some weird glances at the two of you, but didn't say anything else, deciding to just turn back to the conversation at hand.

You dozed in and out while Zhongli held you, listening to the conversation only with one ear. That was, until one man decided to spring up from his table, slamming his fist down, hard. The sudden sound startled you, opening your eyes again to locate to source.

The man was standing, his head red as a tomato as he seemed furious about something. Confused, you looked at him, then around at the table. Zhongli remained utterly calm as he continued to stare at the guy, while the other scholars remained seated but tried to calm down their companion.

"No! Fuck off! Where do you think you're taking the right to just state your theories like they are proven facts? I know you're old as fuck but that doesn't give you the right to disregard our hard work and own theories like that, you bastard!"

The guy yelled, grabbing the attention of the entire ship. People around you started to whisper, now totally engaged within the situation. You were baffled at his words, turning to look at your boyfriend who seemed to be unbothered by it. He didn't seem like he was going to say anything..

But you just couldn't let that stand..

"The only bastard I see around here, is you! What, just because someone doesn't share your opinion and challenges you, you freak out and start to insult them? That's pathetic behaviour, if you ask me. Go and cry about it to your mommy and daddy, since they obviously handle everything for you."

At your words, the guy grew even more furious, but he was also rendered speechless. Before the situation could escalate any more, his other friends dragged the guy away, leaving only you and Zhongli back at the table.

People around you looked for a while more until they started to settle back, turning to their own business again.

You were still sitting in your boyfriends lap, mumbling under your breath, when he leaned down to you and pressed a soft kiss to your forehead.

"Thank you, Darling. You didn't have to do that, but I appreciate you defending me all the same."

"So Dream's date went well I see." Hannah noted idly as she began to take samples.

Sam's stormy expression further soured. "No personal-life discussion at work."

"That's not what you were saying yesterday." Hannah smiled, a thin veneer of benevolence. "Mr. 'Dream, where did you meet him? Where are you going out, Dream? What time will you be back? Is it just dinner?'"

"All good questions to ask your roommate." Sam defended, moving away from the computer to start examining the body's flesh. Hannah's facade fell away to reveal something far more puckish.

"Of course. I'm sure it was incredibly important to know what dessert they would having. Wouldn't want the date to roofie his ice cream."

"They weren't having ice cream." Sam snapped. His face was flushed teal. "They probably just went to his house and- had sex."

"Ooh, that look like it hurt to say. You want to take five?"

"I'll tell security you shut off the basement cameras." He pointed a finger at her threateningly. Hannah looked amused. "You can't keep using the sarcophagus room to-"

"To what, Sam?"

With a jerk, he spun around to face Tina. She had an eyebrow raised, labcoat folded over her arm. Briefly, he tried to point his finger at her, before flushing further and dropping his hand.

"You know." He said, albeit mildly strangled. She leaned in and smiled sweetly.

"No, I don't. Tell me about what Hannah does in the sarcophagus room."

After a moment of sputtering, Sam deflated like a balloon. It wasn't really surprising. The man had always been all bark, no bite. It made him kind of funny; kind of annoying, too, but these things had their gives and takes. Hannah patted him on the back.

"Oh, Dream's here!" Tina's exclaimed joyfully, and Sam's wilted demeanor vanished instantly.

"Dream!" He brushed past Hannah and descended down the platform, hurrying over to meet a disheveled blonde man who was shimmying on his lab coat with one hand, leaning on his cane with the other.

"And there he goes." Hannah sighed. She bundled up her samples and set them on her moving tray. Tina hummed, still watching the men.

"Do you think he knows?" She asked. Hannah snorted.

"That he's in love? Sam would have brought out champagne and roses Day One if he did."

"No, Dream." Tina insisted. Hannah paused, looking up to squint at the pair.

Sam tied Dream's coat for him, brushing off the nonexistent dirt and likely rambling. Dream, slowly, reached out to cup Sam's face with a tenderness that Hannah had only ever seen him give to the dead. There was a moment of surprise, and then Sam melted, leaning into a hug. It allowed him to completely miss the forlorn, obvious yearning that flitted over his roommates face.

"No," Hannah decided. "He's an idiot. He would have done something stupid by now to force himself to 'get over it.'"

"You're right. He would have flown to Paris or something." Tina agreed. She plucked the sample tray from its cart and leaned in to whisper in Hannah's ear. "I'll put these in your office. Meet me in the sarcophagus room?"

Hannah smothered a giggle and nodded.

Uhhh notes:

you are not immune to Forensic Anthropologist Awesamdream AU

Dream and Sam are roommates, who tend to spend time together by watching marathons and eating ice cream on the couch together. Sam and Dream notably don't eat ice cream with other people, unless the ice cream is handed to them or it's a required thing. Sam considers it Their Thing That's Theirs Only For Them and Dream, quietly, also thinks of it like that

Hannah and Tina have sex in the sarcophagus room. Notably they turn off the security camera to do this, or go in the blind spots. This is illegal probably.

Dream grew up with Sapnap and George, but for Reasons they are no longer friends. Dream met Sam in school and Sam had the biggest crush on him, but they ended up separating at some point and going in different directions. When Sam transferred to this branch of forensics and met Dream again, Dream was notably covered in scars, walking with a cane, and a lot colder.

Dream tends to be distant with his coworkers and warms up over time, but Sam is Immediately allowed in his space and can be as touchy as he wants.

Man, I have so many ideas of what Hazbin Hotel could do but because, I'm a fan, they're probably not going to do it. Like what they could of done with Alastor instead of serial killer cannibal that practices Voodoo. Keep the voodoo based powers, take out the cannibal part because that's a bad view for voodooism, and make the serial killer thing more of a one time mass murder. He died in early 1900's so, let's say a lynch mob murdered someone he cared about and he made a deal with Lilith or some other demon to "Kill them all with all of the power the rings of hell had to offer." Which would explain why Alastor is the way he is and why he's so powerful. It would still work too because Voodooism has some ties to catholicism, more commonly in Lousiana though, which is where Alastor is from so it wouldn't be too much off an issue. It would also make him more of a morally grey character that we can understand. Making him fit perfectly with the Voodoo culture, because while Voodooism isn't sacrificing babies and cannibalism. There are still people that use Voodoo for things like hexing and not so great stuff. Just like any other culture. It would also provide good reasons as to why he thinks he's untouchable in hell, even when it comes to Lucifer!

Lucifer becoming like a therapist or counselor for the Hazbin Hotel. I don't go to therapy, but even I know this is such a missed opportunity here. He knows what it's like to fall from grace to literally rock bottom so, wouldn't it make more sense if for him to tend to his subjects, unlike how his Dad, and help them achieve something he could never have? I mean, I like the whole "confiding your feelings into your local Bartender" thing Husk has, and that can still be a thing with Lucifier still helping out in the way I mentioned. Not only would it boost his confidence in realizing he can actually make impact on people if he was given a chance, but it would also show Charlie the lengths of which her Dad actually does cares.

I do agree with the critical side that Valentino should've been taken care of by now. Or at least, the planning for it to be. They even had the set up with Charlie finding out the extent of Angel's abuse. Hell, you can keep everything somewhat the same, but at the end. Have Charlie sneak back to the club and straight up kill him, showing off how much of a threat the daughter of hell can be. You've got the motive of Valentino was getting in the way of her plans/ Angel Dust's recovery, and that she's a good person, right there! Hell, it doesn't even have to be Charlie, Vaggie could've done it because of how much the plan means to Charlie or Charlie could've even sent Alastor to do it for her! I can even see Husk making a comment to Charlie about it. Not to mention, the drama of Angel finding out and causing a possible rift between Charlie and Angel, because Angel is well Angel.

And lastly, Charlie making a deal with Alastor. Even since it was mentioned in the pilot for her not to make a deal with Alastor, because of who he is. I just want to see what would happen, because they made it a big deal and I thought it could be a plot point. Some many possibilities, but I've made this long enough so, I'm just going to leave it here.

Okay woah this is a long one uhhh

Alright, starting first, I love the starting ideas for Alastor. I know that in his comic which I'm pretty damn certain is canon/official, it shows that it irks him like none other when "those of fairer means" are targetted and pushed around. Maybe someone who was like a little sister to him faces the injustices of 1920s racism, with him calling on Lilith, knowingly or unknowingly. Now his soul is forever bound to the will of Lilith, even in Hell. The reason for his unbound power comes from her. And that is why he only appears when Charlie announces the Hazbin Hotel. He plays it off as if he just wants to mess with sinners and watch them fail (which he kinda does want to cause his views of other people to be skewed forever after losing his lil sis figure person). And I know what you're thinking. This is fridging. Yes. Yes, it is. However, I do think that it is possible to bring back that character by having her in Heaven or something and give her a distinct character outside of Alastor. Just doing something to not be a classic Viv writing women moment lol. Anyway, the point is that Alastor truly is at the Hotel because of Lilith but slowly grows to find Charlie to remind him of the person he lost.

As for Lucifer being a therapist? Ehhhhhhhhhh. You gotta remember that he is the embodiment of pride so I do doubt that he would be much of a therapist. However, saying that, it would be interesting to see how his pride could not only just be for himself but his pride in Charlie. Maybe even combining the two. Wanting to take pride in Charlie and be a good father like he didn’t get but also wanting to still stick it to God by having Hell still be his domain of eternal punishment and the kingdom that he had built. Overall could have some extra depth with that.

I don’t really get the “Angel is Angel” comment tbh. I do think that more slowly setting up and properly exploring Val’s abuse of Angel across episodes and even seasons and have Charlie’s little moment of snapping as the peak/climax of it.

And the deal being made with Alastor is more so able to be explored with Husk than Charlie. Charlie was able to use her higher status to avoid a deal, Husk didn’t have that luxury. Would be a way to explore more class struggles in Hell.

I didn’t really get into as much detail as I wanted to but like, yeah

Idk

[neopuff]

Little timeline I've been using in my GenRex fics. I know there's only supposed to be one year between Six finding Rex and Promises, Promises, but I don't like that it's such a short amount of time so I made it two years lol It's fine, I can ignore canon sometimes (slams my head thru drywall) I'm good at that it's fine

Rex is presumably 14 when Six finds him. They celebrate his 16th (or ?) birthday in Nov 2010, but when Caesar arrives they would learn Rex's real birthday (I picked April 'cause I wanted something earlier in the year) and so Rex would be 17 in S3

I also really want Rex to have had a blackout at some point while at Providence. I would've liked it to be earlier but the timeline really doesn't work out lol I mean it doesn't really work in timeline anyway but I don't caaaaaaare. Six says "You only remember the last 18 months" in Wasteland, which I assume is letting the audience know that 6 months have passed between Promises, Promises and Wasteland but I'm just shortening up that timeline. They can rebuild Providence HQ faster than that it's alright

Some notes:

One would've been an EVO for more than 5 years in Divide By Six but I figure it's okay to round down. 5 years sounds more dramatic than 5 and a half years

(Plus Caesar says he missed five years in Mixed Signals even though the Nanite Event was five years prior to The Day That Everything Changed, which means characters are doing a lot of rounding)

A Family Holiday would be Beverly's 18th birthday

This isn't referenced in the above image but I put Holiday at 33 and Six at 35 (start of series). Noah calling her 28 doesn't make her actually 28, he is a 16 year old boy he doesn't know how old women are

Holiday and Six got in less than a month of dating before Six Minus Six lol

And Six got about 2-3 weeks to get to know Rex before Lions and Lambs

Uhhh hmm. Anything else? Sorry I typed this all once and lost it all so I'm trying to remember what else I had.

OH YES a pre-Providence Rex timeline with a focus on his amnesia blackouts. Here we go:

Late 2004/Early 2005: Rex has an accident in Abysus. His family infuses him with nanites to help save his life. Rex has his first mini-blackout (not full amnesia, but he starts to have trouble remembering bits and pieces) due to the accident or the nanites it's hard to say. While his body adjusts to the nanites, he has a bunch of mini-blackouts and starts forgetting important things. He starts keeping a digital notebook around Feb/March 2005

April 2005: Nanite Event - Rex blacks out due to the shockwave/trauma/both. He turns into the Giant Robot EVO Thing and flies out of Europe. Heads in a random direction and ends up tired and without memory in Hong Kong. He still has his digital notebook and it's kind of the only thing that keeps him sane

Mid 2005 - Mid 2008: Rex in Hong Kong. He starts working for Quarry because he needs to make money/get food somehow. He also meets the Hong Kong Gang one-by-one and they become good friends, though Rex is secretive and anxious and paranoid. Incident with Scarecrow doesn't help.

Mid 2008: Rex knows he has family in Mexico thanks to an early entry in his digital notebook and decides he wants to find them. Quarry agrees to help Rex get to Mexico if he makes a deal with him. Rex hasn't blacked out in so long and is feeling confident about finding his family (Quarry told him he had a contact in Mexico City who would help Rex out) so he doesn't think he needs the notebook anymore. Quarry keeps it as collateral.

Nov 2008: Rex gets to Mexico but he is lost and scared and Quarry lied about having anyone there to help him out. Rex has another blackout (combination of stress and guilt) and turns into the Giant Robot EVO Thing again. Six finds him and brings him to Providence.

Aug 2009: Rex has another blackout while training with Six (something similar to what happened in Frostbite). Holiday and Six don't realize this is a Thing with him so they just start over from the beginning. Training is easier and faster now that they know how Rex's powers work and they're prepared for everything. Six gets Rex some goggles, Holiday gets Rex some gloves.

[decepti-thots]

I’m trying to imagine the history of Meso and Prowl. Because Meso basically becomes obsessed with Prowl and I want to know why?

I HAVE SOME GOOD NEWS I WROTE A FIC ABOUT JUST THAT

ok, shameless plug aside, it's a really interesting question, isn't it? i know roche has said on a couple panels that he very deliberately didn't consider mesothulas' backstory when writing sins, because he thinks over-focusing on unnecessary backstory can be an impediment to writing, which is true but also leaves a very fun gap if you want to do fanwork about it.

i think with what tarantulas does say about it himself we get something of a clue as to not the specifics of what happened, but how that whole relationship came to be so obsessive, though. when he talks about what happened after he was pushed into and escaped the noisemaze, he discusses how coming back to his wrecked lab was awful; that it was the place that represented the 'fullest' version of himself, and to see it destroyed was, to him, seeing a part of himself destroyed too:

i think the degree to which mesothulas became obsessed with prowl is probably linked to prowl giving him all that. he let mesothulas isolate himself away from the world and study it as an indifferent observer as he so badly wanted to, and provided the means for mesothulas to do basically anything he might desire with it. his whole self conception seems to revolve around his autonomy and isolation from the rest of the world. prowl basically enabled that point of view and made it possible for him to embody it completely. he sees his partnership with prowl as intimately, irrevocably linked to his work, which in turn is what he defines himself by.

i can absolutely see it as being that mesothulas didn't initially see prowl differently to anyone else, but that intense isolation combined with prowl constantly providing whatever he wanted to do his work, no questions asked, changed that over time. some of it was probably that he saw something similar in prowl to his own amorality that is more interested in results than questions of 'should i really do this', but a lot of it is probably that prowl provided what he wanted whenever he asked, and no idea was too big or too dangerous. at least to begin with. mesothulas links his self-realization to his partnership with prowl, and he liked being that version of himself. so prowl perhaps became the first person to really impact on his life as an individual, and intrinsically linked to him in a way that simply by virtue of being the sole person to do so, would have to wind up... horribly codependent. i mean, if you get a taste of that, you want more of it- and if there's only one person who you think can possibly provide it, of course that's going to wind up. uhhh. gestures at tarantulas. Like That TM.

(obviously as per my linked fic, my favourite headcanon is that i like to imagine they met when prowl tried and failed to defect to neutrality, but i can absolutely see a version where he approaches mesothulas as an autobot; mesothulas agrees thinking whatever, i'll take your cool shit if it gives me what i want even if i don't care about politics, and accidentally gets in way too deep. very terrible man makes his first friend and reacts extremely badly.)

[polyamorouspunk]

hi hello I hope you're day evening etc. is going alright. sending metaphysical pancakes or sth your way if you want them and if you're up to it maybe asking for. advice. in return. though I'm strongly assuming the only solution here is ✨communication✨ but unfortunately on occasion that is scary and hard to figure out

so. my partner wants to live with me. ideally for me to move in with them. which is great! I've been sorta dreaming about that for years! all good, right?

well. the thing is. we've been planning to live together in the past. repeatedly. repeatedly and not continuously because somehow the plans were always cancelled, and hate to say it but never from my side. I don't like pointing this out to them bc it sounds like I'm holding a grudge or sth, though they always had valid reason for backing out and obviously it's better anyway for both of us if they back out if they don't feel ready rather than having to deal with a difficult-to-reverse situation like sharing a living space. but nonetheless it has happened... 3? 4? times over the last... decade or so and I'm having a hard time trusting that this time it's not gonna suddenly pulled back again which would. y'know. hurt kinda.

additionally, we've both moved into our respective flats fairly recently (2 and 1 years aho respectively), and neither is really made for 2 people. theirs would work alright if needed but I'm fairly certain we'd want/need more space sooner rather than later, and I don't really want to move all the time since it's bloody exhausting. and like... we DO have pretty different idk styles of living? they're all about pretty places and a good level of tidiness, and I'm kind of a mess with stuff everywhere and mismatched furniture and decoration bc functionality trumps style and also I collect all the stuff that I like and display it regardless of whether it objectively looks "good". meaning, and in the past we'd always agreed on this, that it'd be good if we both did have separate spaces at our disposal, so the general living space can be nice and aesthetic and they can decorate their space how they like and I can contain my chaos in my own space without bothering anyone much. except now out of the blue they seem adamant to move in together asap and get really excited about it and I HAVE explained most of this but they seem insistent on making it work somehow which is. sweet, and I do love that apparently it's become so important to not be separated from me for long, but I have a hard time trusting that as well due to uhhh our relationship history idk.

it's just. it's sweet and I should be over the moon but I can't share their optimism regarding making it work (I don't want fighting to happen bc I left my stuff lying around too much) and I can't fully trust the whole thing so now it's just them being excited and me being sort of a buzzkill and I'm not really sure how to. address. all of it

sorry this got long haha please don't feel obliged to answer or anything, and take care!

I think your feeling are totally reasonable. I’ve had a partner who would always say they were going to come over and then something always came up so I just… stopped hoping. It’s soul-crushing! I think it’s a reasonable boundary to say “listen this has been an issue in the past and every time you say you wanna move in and then back out even if you have your reasons and they are valid it still hurts me, even if it doesn’t have anything to do with me”. I’m lucky that my ex and I both had similar living styles so the idea was when we moved in together like we would function well. We pretty much already lived together on weekends, so we knew we worked out well. I think having someone stay at your place/stay at someone’s place for a few days is a great test to see how you guys live together. But yeah, as someone who is poly, I’ve always been adamant about the fact I would want my own bedroom in a polycule situation. For a lot of reasons I need my own space in a shared living area. Things like that aren’t easy, and I’m not going to say “it’s just about communicating” because while it is yes it also seems like “maybe your partner needs to work on not getting your hopes up about things like that only to back track” (aka you establishing that boundary).

For the DVD Commentary I chose this from The Rebound:

"I think she was right," he agreed, "let me ask you something."

Lin sighed, wary of where this conversation was heading.

"If I win the election," he began, "and I moved here- would you date me?"

Lin rolled her eyes, "You haven't won yet."

"But if I do..." he led.

"Yes," she agreed, cheeks coloring, "I suppose I would give you a shot."

He leaned forward, kissing her forearm, "Okay then."

He moved forward further to catch her mouth, kissing her lightly. His tongue slipped past her lips and suddenly their spark was reignited. He moved from his chair and practically into her own.

They had sex for a second time that night, right where they were.

Somehow, Lin awoke in his bed again just as the sun was rising. She untangled herself from him, slipping from the bed as quietly as possible. She made her way around the room, gathering the items of her clothing that were strewn about one by one.

Hahah I love that I got two for The Rebound.

And scenes right next to each other!

It's funny because when I was writing this I really had no intention of Kazuo becoming a recurring character in my stories, but I think by the time I'd reached this point I liked him enough that I wanted to leave it open.

When Kaz asks if she'd date him I put that in to kind of highlight that he really was quite taken with her, but also that he was kind of carried away in the moment. From his perspective he'd also just left a long term relationship and decided to gamble his political career path at home for this seat in RC which I sort of envisioned as being one of the highest positions/honors any rep from a nation can attain- so he was going on all in. Like I def think he was so excited by how well things were going and a little high on pulling Lin he was fully like 'i'm going to get this council position i'm going to move to this new city i'm going to marry this woman' etc etc like way too fanciful and that's all there to highlight his youthful optimism.

From Lin's POV she thought he was being a little stupid, but cute and while I don't think she genuinely believed he would win OR that she would actually date him- she didn't want to spoil the moment because uhhh she was pretty certain by the way he was looking at her that he was DTF again and she was more than happy to turn her spiraling brain off for the rest of the night.

As for the last bit, I just think its funny to imagine her trying to give him the irish goodbye lol.

Ask me for DVD style commentary on any of my fic!

Thai QL Favorites Tag Game

Tagged by @telomeke, thankss <3

Credits: this game was created by @thatgirl4815 as Thai BL Favorites Tag Game.

Arghhh I just know this is going to be so hard, I'm gonna be an indecisive mess throughout.

Favorite Thai QL: Starting off strong with an impossible question to answer! I'll always have a spot for Bad Buddy in my heart, being the creative genius it is, and bonus points for being my first actual BL. But I have to also mention My School President, for the sheer joy, amazement and wonder that series sparked in me. I cried. My only 12% is forever going to remain in my heart, it hit close to home but I liked the pain. Probably the sweetest, most wholesome show ever. And, can't quite wrap this up without my newest favorite: Not Me!! Truly an amazing series that had pretty much all I could ask for.

Favorite Pairing: Dang it. I feaking love Gemini Fourth, they're genuinely such an amazing pair with amazing chemistry. But also, OffGun in NoT Me genuinely knocked the wind out of me. (Special mention to SantaEarth for being frickin adorable)

Most underrated actor: Joining @dribs-and-drabbles in the pitch for Harit, most well known for his role as Todd in Not Me. I REALLY want to see him as a lead, because I knew he'd be evil from the start and yet I was still so sad when the reveal came.

Favorite Character: God this is so hard to chooseee. Probably Tinn from MSP because my god the guy is so cute, and the greenest of flags to ever green flag. Also Black, from Not Me because I am here for the spiky on the outside but a little bit soft deep deep inside thing. And I can't forget about bestie Sam from GAP the series. Everything about her was just>>>

Favorite Side Character: Tiw from MSP for being the best wingman ever, and Ink for being the best just ever.

Favorite scene in a QL: Theres many, but two main ones come to mind here. The bar scene in episode 12 of Bad Buddy, when the gang is hanging out, drinking, and witnessing the stupidity of their younger selves through the eyes of an older generation. Second is the pride celebration scene in Not Me. I tell you, that scene made me sob.

Favorite line in a QL: I literally have a google docs filled with impressive lines from QLs!!!! I think I'd have to go with "All we can do is try. Even if its scary, we have to try it to find out" from the eighth sense, ep 10. "I will choose to remember only the good ones so there will only be the beauty of tomorrow" from uwma ep 10 comes a close second though.

Most Anticipated QL (& why): 23.5 I NEED high school lesbians. Also, GMMTV's first gl!!! I'm praving they don't f it up.

Healthiest relationship in a QL: Probably PatPran or TinnGun

Most toxic relationship in a QL: Agreeing with @telomeke on Tharntype here. Goddam they were messy. And toxic.

Guilty pleasure series: Uhhh Love in The Air.

Most underrated series: My Only 12% definitely, no doubt about it. This little series is so amazing and it needs so much more love. The story is simple but engaging. The characters have amazing dynamics and chemistry. It has a lot of little messages and meanings and lessons hidden in it.

Tagging:

Some Troy and Casey cousins lore as promised the other day!

I'm basically back to saying this is part of my canon now. It's just in a very different form to the original vague hc I had for them.

Once again, yes, maybe there are AUs where they aren't related, and maybe there are AUs where they know they're related. In fact I kind of need there to be because I need to see a teenage Troy being made to babysit Casey as a baby/toddler; the results are gonna be precious and/or hilarious(I hc her being a pretty chill baby as long as she's fed frequently but like... toddlers in general... uhhh good luck Troy 🤣)!

But main universe, they don't really know. They never really know. Now I really like when aspects of my hc just kind of... fall into place? So here's some parts of Casey's backstory I created for entirely different reasons that link in with this really well.

Casey had limited contact with an uncle on her dad's side who taught her to shoot and fight not long before the events of SR1. The uncle was originally aiming to teach her sister Phoebe, who, presuming Casey was around 13, would have been 17 at the time, but she really wasn't that interested. Casey on the other hand was fascinated. It was her first time having a hobby that was more focused on channelling her feelings into a hobby rather than reading which was a lot more for the purposes of escapism.

Casey has some gratitude towards this uncle, but also some cynicism too. "Never checked we had food in the house but, you know, at least I could shoot a gun and punch out a guy twice my size." she points out. But eventually she does process that it was her mom who might have been keeping that side of the family away from her, and while I never confirmed it, I believe that is indeed what happened(her dad, however, is entirely responsible for his own absence).

I've never really got into why this uncle was particularly skilled at/decided to teach them this stuff, why Elizabetta allowed him contact with them when no-one else was allowed that, or why he was so interested on checking up on the kids. But I'm now suggesting that this man is Troy's dad and I think that in itself goes to some way to explaining it.

This uncle wasn't actually Casey and Phoebe's dad's brother as they were told, he just put it that way to simplify things for these two kids who didn't really know him. They obviously just accepted it because they didn't know their dad in that much detail. He was his brother-in-law. His wife was Casey's blood aunt, and Troy's mom, and she took her husband's surname of Bradshaw while, as I've mentioned in a previous post, her brother took his wife's name of Clark until their divorce.

I definitely hc Troy's dad being a cop. This explains would explain why he would have a reasonable amount of expertise in not just combat but teaching combat to a reasonable level. Troy's dad wanted contact with his nieces partially because he felt some duty of care to them, and also because his wife probably suggested they be subtly checked on. "Teaching them to fight because I've seen a lot of shit happen to young women" or something was a good way to frame it that would explain why it's worth travelling halfway across Michigan for.

The fact that he wasn't actually blood related to Stanisław made Elizabetta a little less concerned about letting her daughters see him. But really, her ongoing paranoia about social services involvement made her more inclined to agree with his request in a way she felt she could maintain control over. Because overall, her kids didn't come across as problem kids if seen outside the house.

It seemed to work in that respect. Phoebe seemed sociable and responsible with some typical teen disinterest, Cassandra was shy and intelligent but came out of her shell a lot as he began teaching her. Even if he did have minor concerns, his wife would probably tell him it was fine based on what he'd told her.

Troy's mom was not uncaring about her nieces, not at all. But with a house full of teenagers, pushing for contact with two small children was never her priority. Once her children were grown? Yeah, she may have had some concerns, but unless they were in actual danger, she wasn't going to get involved with a situation where she might end up taking responsibility for them. I hc her having had an OK relationship with her sister-in-law in the past, so less reason for concern. The relationship between her and Stanis I think could be a post in itself, but I think they weren't super close as siblings go, I think again the age gap factored into that.

What does Casey know about her cousins? Pretty much nothing. Her mom didn't allow it. She doesn't know their names. She's never seen a picture. She once asked her mom about them upon seeing a schoolfriend who was close with their cousin, only to be basically told "they're adults, they don't wanna come play with you", so she knows they're all older. By the time she's an adult and could reasonably go looking, she's so disaffected with her family she doesn't do so. Bear in mind that even when her grudge against her sister (who she loves very much) for leaving her with their mom was let go, she still doesn't visit often due to 'not wanting to be around her perfect family'. I make it pretty clear she has issues around stuff like that which she knows she just can't have due to her line of work. When you add in the fact she's secretly got some shades of social anxiety, going to see cousins in their 30s/40s who she's never met and potentially ending up sitting with their perfect little families is her idea of hell. So she never makes contact.

What does Troy know about his cousins? He knows their names. Phoebe, Cassandra. He saw a couple of photos of them that their mom allowed his mom to have before he left home, when they were still pretty young. He would assume they have their dad's second name, Kendziorski, just due to that being more common and knowing their parents were married (his mom making mention of an ex-sister-in-law). He has other young cousins; his uncle's even younger children/Casey's half siblings if he has interest in that sort of connection. But honestly I doubt he's that interested either.

Neither of them know the right things about the other to make the connection when they meet in SR1. Casey has nothing to go on, really, and she's not the type to jump to conclusions about that sort of thing. Troy has a face that's obviously nothing like the picture from when she was 5, a name that doesn't match, at first not even the right gender as both of his estranged cousins are girls and obviously Casey is mistaken for a boy for a while. Casey never talks about her past. Troy doesn't look much like Casey's dad and Casey doesn't look much like Troy's mom. With a closer friendship and more time together they absolutely would have figured it out. But for various reasons they don't have that.

I do think they met once prior to the game though. Casey was just way too young to remember it.

Stanis was miserable around the time of Casey's birth. Elizabetta's keeping up appearances nature would have prevented him feeling he could vent to most of their friends. So I think at some point when she was a few months old he went to his sister's house under the pretense of introducing the new baby to her aunt. He does, but he also really just needs to talk to someone detached enough from the situation; his sister. So baby Cassandra is placed in a little play ring in a corner of the room attempting to put everything within reach into her mouth. Troy is made to sit with her while his mom and uncle talk in hushed whispers on the other side of the room under the pretense of "watching her" when they really just don't want him eavesdropping.

If I wanted to say something poignant and beautiful and rather contrived I could write something about how even then Troy knew he had to protect this kid, even though he didn't know her yet. How their meeting 15 years later would perfectly mirror that one.

But come on! He's a thirteen year old boy! He's a thirteen year old Troy! His thoughts on the situation are "Why the hell am I the one stuck looking after this thing?".

But you know what? That's OK. Because that mirrors his views on their future situation pretty well too. 😉

#i feel like... even this is restrained i could have said more #all the “but how come...”s etc. that i could get into #but this is already a LOT and i'm appreciative of anyone who was interested enough to read all this :) #sr #saints row boss #sr boss: casey clark #troy bradshaw #i have so many wips and instead i... wrote all of this out

[kokitschi]

u know, i do find kokichi saying "how could a game you're forced to play be fun?" rather than "[...] forced to kill be fun?" more interesting.

i don't have the specific quotes at hand, but i do remember a theme of kokichi valueing freedom. in ch 1, after the death road of despair fiasco, he says something about being denied the right to give up. in ch 2 he mocks the (silently) agreed upon ban on the k-word (and the reality of the situation) and then also defends ryoma saying his opinion. in ch 3 he's very much not a fan of angies cult and in the trials 3 and 4, when kaito tries to challenge his world view, kokichi says that they should agree to disagree since they come from different backgrounds and then (admittedly a lot more venomously) that "[kaitos] ideals should stay the same."

one of his quotes goes smth like "there's only one truth, but endless possibilities for lies!"

then there's ofc d.i.c.e, which is said to do petty crimes and generally just look like a motley crew of outlaw kids. oh, i guess his lockpicking also fits into this theme.

all of this is kinda juxtaposed by kokichis ..rather forceful methods. especially around his world view. (he's not forcing anyone to agree ig but he is shoving it down everyones throat constantly) though i guess one could say that he's not trying to make this fun for the others?

i interpret kokichi as someone who lies to himself a lot, then calls his own bullshit but still forces himself to "believe" the lie because that's how he copes, i guess.

so during the killing game, he copes by pretending it's all just a game. he's aware it's not. but by disconnecting himself he's able to make a lot more ruthless decisions. this reaches its boiling point in ch 4 ofc, he yells at his classmates and ask them if they're alright in the head bc why would they not play the game?

and then later... well, u know how the story goes.

anyway, my interpretation of the quote goes something like this;

1. i don't think he'd condones murder, even if they were in a consensual situation. he's generally not a violent person and i do think he is a pacifist at heart. however, he's in a high stress situation and he is a ends justify the means kind of person.

2. kokichi is someone who loves games, a lot. and he values freedom. the killing game does kind of desecrate the things he values.

3. he is a strategist and a person who's able to look at the bigger picture. so, put into this peculiar situation, he thinks about how to stop this. he comes to the conclusion that treating this like a game and emotionally disconnecting from the reality is gonna give him better results. (not necessarily in a conscious way)

4. put it all together and u get someone who's core values are abstracted by the language he's using. (in this case; still talking about the KG like it's just a game but this is a very common thing with kokichi. he says things in a way that are highly and at times difficult to interpret and depending on your personal opinion on him, ur gonna have a different opinion on what he really means.)

sooo uhhh hope this made sense? probably gonna revisit this at some point, just wanted to write down some thoughts.

#kokichi ouma #no seriously is this hard to follow along? #bc it makes sense to me but i have the context of my thoughts and my language ability has been kinda lacking #anyway

[chipistrate]

could you do the "send a character" prompt for cassidy?

OHHHH FUCK YEAH I CAN

Cassidy:

favorite thing about them They're so determined to take down Afton they will do anything to kill that bitch, including not moving on with their friends and instead creating this elaborate hell for him to rot in for eternity and they made it such a fun little game (for them, not William) like if they're gonna be trapped here for eternity with William then they might as well have fun with it. Also they love their friends very very much to the point they'll do anything to protect them even if it ends up hurting them (they don't know it ends up hurting them, they're a bit oblivious when it comes to emotions and really think they're just helping)

least favorite thing about them Nothing they're amazing<3 (though if we're talking personal interps then probably how they're persistent to a fault and end up being so focused on taking down Afton, that they forget to think about their friends like girly go to therapy or smthn)(idk if this counts as a "least favorite" thing rather than just a character flaw cause I actually really like the flaw but uhhh I don't have anything bad to say about them lmao)

favorite line "I will never let you leave, I will never let you rest." It's just iconic<3

brOTP Them and Evan, Cassidy totally sees him as a little brother<3

OTP Again, if this can be platonic then I'd say Charlie and Cassidy- also Cassidy and Susie<3 Their friendship is really sweet<33

nOTP I'm not against any Cassidy ships but I'm also not for any Cassidy ships? I don't really know what pairings there are, I don't see a lot of shipping between the dead kids. But I'm not really interested in any of them cause I think all of them are just friends, soo,,,, eeeevery Cassidy ship? Ig?

random headcanon(s) They're Filipino and also Cassie's aunt, their last name is Catapang, their older brother was the bonnie mask kid, they use all pronouns, them Charlie and Evan were a little trio before they died, they were/are friends with all the MCI, Susie was Cassidy's first friend, they met Charlie and Evan by stepping in and protecting Evan when Michael was bullying him, they've gotten into multiple fist fights with Michael, they used to be really calm/neutral most of the time but were kinda known as "that one kid you don't want to mess with" just cause they have resting bitch face and a mean glare, they will bite if provoked. I probably have more but those were the ones I could think of off the top of my head

unpopular opinion Uhhhm,,, does them being the Vengeful Spirit count? I see a lot of people on Tumblr agree they're the UCN spirit, but everywhere else I go it's like a constant debate so I genuinely don't know if them being the UCN spirit is an unpopular opinion now or not, lmao

song i associate with them PQ Cassidy: Never Ending by Chai Normal Cassidy: Kleptomaniacrow by Madilyn Mei, Frustration Tears from Centaur World, and Love Like You by Rebecca Sugar

favorite picture of them

We don't have a lot of pics of them, but this one is really sweet<3

#Chip Chatter

[nayruwu]

part uhhh 29 i think???? something like that.

here we have yuu once again embarrassing his entire squad (or like 3/4 of it). i feel a little sorry for them, no one's taking them seriously

WHY IS HIS LEG LIKE THAT

i don't think they're supposed to do that😭😭

i think kagami did his characters so dirty in these introductions💀 i would describe neither kureto nor guren as particularly arrogant, but perhaps that's because both of their (and others) characterisations have changed gradually towards the end of both series.

i don't even know what to say, every ounce of my being feels personally offended by this WHY would you make it about mahiru. "what kind of explanation is that?" - shinya, and also me

i don't remember a single scene in which he was a third wheel to guren & mahiru. i don't remember them ever competing for her attention, like at all. i would not consider it unfortunate that they're not engaged anymore. and she did not die (even though people say she did). that's like 4 deadly sins in one paragraph what the FUCK

the conversation under it gets a pass though. still don't know if the "what, sister?" is a mistranslation/misinterpretation, and i don't think i want to. shinya passive aggressively calling mahiru "sister" is way too funny for me to acknowledge the possibility of it not being canon.

... and guren and shinya both wanting mahiru to get tf off them cracks me up every time.

i'm not gonna list off everything that bothers me about this because it's way too much but i am going to ask myself when it was ever a gag that guren, shinya and kureto never agreed on anything. and how the hell would yuu know about it?? he barely knows shinya and kureto. like i feel like they set this up but never used it.

this cover is cool as shit. sad that they never actually wore those cape thingies though T-T

the way mahiru is always creeping around in the back💀 miss please stop terrorising this man

now that is a very good question. chapter 117 and we still have no fucking clue. literally everyone and their grandma is pulling strings

vampires really love throwing humans around like disks, don't they. but jesus, shinoa could've foreseen that and just demanifasted the scythe

don't worry he makes up for it by being inexperienced and a fucking idiot♥️ god i love roasting yuu. but shouldn't kimizuki and yoichi be just as strong, if not stronger than yuu at this point? since it seemed like they had a lot more control over their demon, and black demons aren't supposed to be stronger at all anyway.

now how is that supposed to protect yuu... and in the next page lucal's hand swoosh just immediately destroys what tenjiryuu made. it sucks when experienced characters get used just to show how strong an opponent is :/

#i love the chibi of them so much they're so cute!! #an the fact that shinya has byakkomaru's manifestation as a bonus is just so💕💕💕💕💕 #they're adorable. #owari no seraph #seraph of the end #ons revisit

for the fanfiction writing asks! 7, 36, 50 !

36.) What fic are you proudest of?

a lesson in eudomonics came out really good, despite the lack of reception. ^^ im super pleased with it. also going once, going twice came out spectacularly considering uhhh i wrote it in like 4 days under a deadline.

50.) How would you describe your writing style?

bouncy. maybe a little meandering

7.) Post a snippet from a WIP.

oh uh gosh here take this, its kind of old—

"So, Boss." Killer drawled, slinking forward into Nightmare's personal space, leaning close without a hint of fear. "What's the deal with our wayward artist?" He inquired, continuing as he leaned over the desk of Nightmare's study, elbows and chest firmly pressing on dark wood and parchment. "He's loitering around here on his own, you know? What should we do about it? Isolate him? Capture him? Let him leave?" A knife appeared in his hand with only a small twitch of his fingers. "Kill him, maybe?" He twirled it in his hand, rocking back and forth on the balls of his feet as he offered the suggestion, seeming energized at the sheer concept of a fight.

Nightmare sighed, tendrils picking up and placing Killer at a more respectable distance, out of stabbing range. Not that Killer's wayward strikes would harm him, but it was the principle of it. "No. You're not to harm him unless he initiates combat first. That goes for the others as well. I want to see what he does." He informed him, tone threaded with absolute authority. Projecting that this was just a suggestion.

His right-hand studied him for a beat, instead of agreeing to his demands. His head was cocked to the side, considering.

"Hmm," Killer made a thoughtful noise, leering over at the guardian. "You've done something." He said decisively. "Did you drug him? Put some voodoo magic on him, maybe?" He quirked a brow, sharp expression twisting into something playful. Teasing.

Thousands of other Sanses and he picked the most annoying one possible. One that was inconveniently insightful at the most inopportune times.

"...Please don't refer to my magic as "voodoo" ever again, you uncultured plebian." Nightmare sighed, long-suffering and exasperated as Killer sniggered. He would have threatened him more, angry and incited, if he knew it would be effective. Instead, such a reaction would probably egg Killer on more, trying to stir an interesting reaction from him.

"You're right. That's more Error's gig. He's got the dolls and everythin'." Killer agreed breezily. Nightmare rolled his singular eye-light.

"But you did do something." Killer circled back to his previous point. Like a shark smelling blood in the water, he refused to let his suspicions go. "Ya didn't deny it. And he was all weird and basically dead before. You had to do something to fix it." He reminded Nightmare petulantly.

ive never mentioned my ink joins the bsp fic before but god i think about it everyday

EXPLAIN LORE TO ME I LIKE ANY TYPES OF LORE

LORE LORE LORE LORE LORE - Runic

ALRIGHT HI IT'S TIME FOR ME TO EXPLAIN TO YOU, MY DEAR FRIEND, THE FLIGHT RISING GODS

@astral-runic i hope you're ready for this <3

i'm not gonna explain the lore in-depth because i am BEHIND on it, but i'll explain who the gods are! and also the fun fact that the gods on flight rising have their own accounts and used to interact with players sometimes!!!! that was fun :> (i say as if i was active on the site at that point). also it's like a thing where people jokingly refer to the gods as their parents- yeah <3

for context, each dragon god on flight rising is affiliated with a specific element, or flight, and every dragon clan is associated with one of the gods. my account has been a shadow clan since day one babeyyyy so i will have a lot to say about the shadow goddess.

okay under the cut! content warnings: the plague goddess looks a bit gross at first glance and i can't spoiler tag her image, so tread lightly. if zombies make you uncomfortable, pls be careful!

first up; the earth god, the earthshaker!

from what i understand, the earthshaker is kind of a sad old man. he's the oldest of the gods and one of the gods that helped create the world of sornieth! he wishes the other gods would still be friends and not just kick the shit out of each other all the time.

a cursory glance at his profile tells me that his followers call him variations of rockdad. fair!

next up: the fire goddess, miss flamecaller!

the flamecaller is the fire goddess! she's one of the oldest gods and also helped create the world! we love a girlboss!!! she seems very cool, idk my clan isn't fire affiliated. i'm sure she's done some atrocities though because like all the gods have.

idk what her followers call her but i think. well. firemom is good.

next up: the wind god, the windsinger!

hello noodledad. anyway the windsinger is pretty dope! he's all about adventure and learning new things and exploring and making the most out of life! he's also another one of the oldest gods who helped create the world. from what i gather he's not that interested in the petty disagreements between the other gods and just wants to have fun.

next up; the water god, mr tidelord!

so this is the only part of the lore i'm up to date on lmao and that is that the tidelord's fucking missing??? or dead???? what the fuck. anyway he's cool. he lives in the ocean and he has visions all the time and goes "yikes" and i love him. unfortunately i think someone killed him. sorry, water dad.

next up: MY MOM MY MOM MY MOM- the shadow goddess, the shadowbinder!

so i originally picked shadowmom because i liked her design the most, and that still stands. i love her. she is so goopy. those are liquid shadows dripping out of her body and i love her so much. shadowmom's philosophy is that sometimes secrets should stay secret and knowledge can hurt. which uhhh y'know isn't actually something i really agree with but it's okay she's fine-

shadow mom is a younger goddess, but she's still comparatively old as fuck compared to the newest ones.

also she calls her followers her children and i'm 🥺🥺 ily shadowmomma

next up: a bitch! the ice god, the icewarden!

he's a cop! or something! that's kind of a reduction but this bitch made all the prisons in this world and is all "ohhhh i am holding so many horrors away from killing the world" and then in the same breath makes fun of my favorite dragon breeds. i hope he chokes /lh

i do love his design, i just think he's a little hater and deserves to be bullied mercilessly.

i will not call this beast father.

aaand next up: the capitalist, the lightning god, the stormcatcher!

so the stormcatcher is the only god that players don't refer to as dad! i think that's neat. no, he's The Boss. he treats his followers like his employees, for better or for worse. he is all about PRODUCTIVITY and INDUSTRIALISM and i wanna push him into a locker- i'm kidding.

he's cool, i like his design a lot.

aaand next up, the worst of the bunch (/lh), the light goddess, the lightweaver!

so as a loyal son of shadowmom, i have to bully this motherfucker. lightweaver is a punk-ass glittery hoe who creates fucked up zombies and then goes "ahaha not my problem lol." fuck you.

(this is a joke, i actually think she's super cool and has a fun design and interesting lore, but i'm a good son to shadowmom ok-)

i call her glitterbitch <3

next up: the nature goddess, the gladekeeper!

the gladekeeper is one of the youngest deities, and i think she's super fucking cool. she's all about survival and perseverance, and she's spent millennia warring with her sister, the plague goddess. she was created in the wake of an apocalypse and has been focusing on repairing the world. i love u beardmom even if ur not my mom.

and next up: her sister, the plague goddess, the zombie plaguebringer!

so, looking at plaguebringer, you may think she's evil. but she's really not. her whole deal is that she also wants to repair the world, but she has a very different philosophy on how to do that. the plaguebringer believes only the strongest can survive, and that strength and resilience must be cultivated for the world not to fall again.

she is so fucking cool and i love her <33333 also her followers make the funniest memes, don't @ me.

and finally, my actual favorite aside from shadowmom: the arcanist! the arcane god!

so the arcanist is the youngest god and also the smallest, but he's bigger than every single mortal dragon breed lmao. he's caused he apocalypse three separate times and i'm fucking obsessed with him. spacedad <33333

he was born in a nuclear reactor (long story) and i highkey headcanon that his magic is just pure radiation.

he's my favorite and i have an oc i ship with him because i'm attached to him a completely normal amount (lying)

[yankee-am]

maybe it's just me, but I think Hobin as a protagonist is weak?? At the beginning he was this pathetic but likeable guy that you couldn't help but root for, but his character development always seemed kind of limited to just him gaining confidence in fighting and being a leader(kinda) and nothing too deep. His main goal went all over the place; one chapter he wanted to be rich, the other he wanted a gf, some other time he wanted to be famous, and sometimes it's not even clear what he wants. I think the fragment of his backstory was interesting, but it's a shame it was used as more of a love story told from Bomi's romanticized pov than an opportunity to flesh out Hobin's character more or give something more to it. It's so funny that his 15 year old self seems way more interesting than him at 18,,

I guess he's more realistic that way but it's eh

With the final fight arc, everything happened so suddenly and Hobin's character changed drastically with the blink of an eye. The author could've made these changes such as Hobin's body gradually rather than just, you know, keeping Hobin stick skinny even after all his training for 120 chapters and then slapping some lazily drawn muscle lines on his body to create the illusion of him being ripped. I also don't really understand Hobin's change of heart, risking him and his friend's lives to fight for "justice" because he thinks that bad guys should be punished. Hell, even Seongjoon's girlfriend had a more understandable reason even though she was horrendously written.

Even in the last fights, it felt like he was just there, the development felt really artificial and I lost all interest in him as a character. I think all the characters we were supposed to root for had a weak presence, just as much as the bad guys did. The author randomly introduced the story of Seongjoon and Jinho into a story about YouTubers, which is kinda silly. The primary YouTube kids plot waters down the dark atmosphere that the Seongjoon/Jinho parts are supposed to have, while it feels like the gangster/yakuza subplot just don't fit here and they would be better off as separate series. Maybe if this was a story about gangs it would fit, but imo the two antagonists make the main characters look like a joke.

I agree. I think, early on, Hobin was a fantastic protagonist. I have a fondness for a MC who can openly be like "Look, man, I just want money and attention and IDGAF how dirty I have to play to get it." His growth to being more mature (e.g. deleting the Jiu Jitsu guy's channel instead of profiting off it), and wanting to protect his friends, felt genuine and well written.

And then there's been the last third of the story, and that all kinda stumbled and fell on its face. Which can be said for most of the comic at this point, honestly.

Like, as someone who's written, uhhh, ~4 standard length novels worth of fanfic and origfic, I understand: Endings are HARD. It's tough to both get in all the things you want to happen while also trying to wrap things up neatly. But hoo boy has the story as a whole not been doing too hot since Seongjun’s death. I think he cursed the creators to get revenge for killing him off.

Chapter 33 - Sparks. Episode 3.

----------Andy's point of view------------

Andy: I grinned cheekily at Gizmo, way too drunk for my own good, if I am forced to admit it You know… Clover ran away and I think she locked herself in the bathroom… so that means…. you're the next one on the kissing list I bumped his cheek gently in a teasing way with my fist

Gizmo: At that point almost too drunk to stand on his own legs started chuckling deeply Ahh you ssshure about that? Di-did you double check that lllissssht?

Andy: I bit my bottom lip and nodded confidently Absolutely! I checked it not 1… but 5 times!

Gizmo: Looked at me with unimpressed eyes Ssshure…. kiss me…

Andy: I grinned wide, leaned in, placing my hands on each of his cheeks, dragging his face closer, and pressed my drunken ass lips against his. They were soft and wet… and he kinda tasted like gummy bears as I quickly fluttered my tongue over his lips Mmh… you taste good… like a candy store….

Gizmo: Shook his head and chuckled softly Snow cones he pointed at the snow cone machines You want one?

Andy: Licked my lips hungry and moaned softly Thanks… but now… I'm hungry for bigger things I nodded backwards towards Daniel who had just passed us with a towel around his hips, after his second round of skinny dipping

Gizmo: Chuckled sheepishly and looked around a bit, probably searching for his own fuck buddy, but the red hair of Clover was nowhere to be seen, so he padded my shoulder strongly and pointed at Daniel I'll go get a ssschnow cone… you go… get a lollipop he winked at me thanksss for the kiss though… it was… interesting he chuckled softly and stumbled down the stairs halfway falling over a small bush I'm good' I'm good! He saluted me with a hand sign I could only laugh at LIVE LONG AND PROSPER!

Andy: I laughed to myself as I made my way to Daniel, who at this point was dancing with himself on the dance floor. And as I reached him, I threw my arms around his neck, showering him with greedy kisses, I was so horny, I felt like I could scream, and I moaned relieved as I felt Daniel lift me up, so I could wrap my arms around his waist, rubbing myself against his dick, feeling it grow hard in seconds. My kisses turned deeper and greedier, to the point of almost eating Daniel in the middle of the dance floor, but then he stopped me

Daniel: Cleared his voice and stopped kissing me, slowly turning towards Sparkle, who were observing us about 2 meters away Uhh…

Sparkle: Chuckled drunkenly It's alright boys… keep going don't mind me I noticed she had hiccups, and she was giggling in a sneaky way

Daniel: Uhhh you sure? I mean… can we have sex here… at your house?

Sparkle: Nodded her head happily Sure! Just… stay out of the main bedroom, okay… and the kitchen… and the downstairs toilet…. oh… and the bedroom toilet… and I would also prefer if you stayed out of the living room, and dining room… but… uh… library room… uh… second floor bathroom… party room and my art room… since it's also the guest bedroom… feel free to… hiccups yeah she giggled softly and sipped her beer

Daniel: He looked at me with hungry eyes and got a cheeky look on his face, then turned towards Sparkle again How about that room? He pointed backwards towards the small tree house in her garden, and I knew exactly where he was going with that. He missed Georges tree house just as much as I did

Sparkle: Nodded her head strongly Suuure darling… do as you please giggled very girlishly

Andy: I grinned wide and cheeky at her, and agreed to let her take a pic of me… that was the last she saw of me that night. For about an hour Daniel and I fucked each other in all the positions our drunken brains could come up with. And on more occasions we were so loud, that we got cheering from the garden below us. It was all I needed. All my sexual frustrations was let out. Finally. Damn it was a good birthday party!!

--------Daniels point of view--------

It was early morning as I walked Andy, Congo and Evan to the taxi… or Ace as Gizmo calls them. As they drove off, I turned around and looked at the big blue house behind me. There was still a dimmed light in the bedroom, so I guessed that was where Sparkle was. I ran up the stairs to the second floor, and while walking towards the bedroom door, I stripped myself from the towel, letting it drop on the floor as I walked into the dimmed bedroom. I did not expect she wasn't alone!!*

Sparkle: Parker!! Stop!! I observed them rumble around the bed a few seconds before I understood it was not a fun rumble Parker!! I mean it!! I noticed her voice was high pitched and tears were pressing in her eyes Please stop!! You're drunk, and you're hurting me! STOP!!!

Daniel: That fucking slimy!!! I didn't get to think further before I took 3 big steps to the bed and grabbed his shoulders, pulling him off the bed, watching him slam down on the floor, and so I quickly grabbed the back of his neck, strongly pressing his face down on the floor Are you okay?! I looked up at Sparkle with angry, yet concerned eyes

Sparkle: Looked at me shocked and confused

Daniel: Sparkle! Are you okay? Did he hurt you?

Sparkle: She kept starring at me with the same look

Daniel: I pressed him even further down, probably causing him a great deal of pain, as I also pressed one of my knees against his spine to make sure he stayed down as he started struggling to get lose. I was stronger, I knew it very well. There was no chance he would escape as I grabbed one of his wrists and forced his hand backwards, pressing it up between his shoulder pads till I heard his wrist crackle. Sparkle!!

Sparkle: She shook her head slowly

Daniel: Sparkle! If he hurt you in any way, you gotta tell me now so we can call the police! I knew this guy was bad news from the get go, and had tried to convince her to stay away from him, and I was really itching to throw him out the window Did he hurt you?

Sparkle: N-no…

Daniel: Did he penetrate you?!

Sparkle: Tears started streaming out her eyes as she seemed to realize what was happening NO! Daniel NO! I'm still in my undies… look… *she pulled her undies a bit in the elastic, and sniffled her nose, I have a couple of scratches on my hip, that's all!

Daniel: I pressed my knee harder against his spine and almost foamed around my mouth as I hissed the words out Look me in the eyes and tell me he didn't get inside you!

Sparkle: Started sobbing loudly You're scaring me!… I swear to you, it didn't get that far! I'm okay! I swear! Please let him go!

Daniel: I hesitated a few seconds, then loosened my grip and stood up, watching Parker whimper on the floor below me You get the fuck out of here faster than I can count to 10, or I will call the police! And don't ever fucking talk to her again, or as much as look her way, or so fucking help me I will rip your spine out and beat you with it! Is that clear?! I took his stumbling out of the door as a yes*

Sparkle: As I looked at her again, she was still looking at me with terrified eyes, he legs was folded up against her upper body, And she was hugging the teddy bear Congo had given her in birthday gift You're scarring me!

Daniel: I sighed deeply and softened my face, crawling up in the bed slowly, planting my hands on her knees, slowly parting her legs Can I have a look?

Sparkle: She sniffled her nose and gently pulled down the elastic of her panties, revealing two pink scratch marks on her hip. They weren't much worse than cat scratches, and I sighed relieved that I had walked in when I did I'm sorry… I should have listened to you. She looked at me with scared sad eyes, and I swear I felt like I wanted to protect her for the rest of my life, so I wrapped my arms tight around her and let her disappear in my arms Thank you her voice was soft and shaky but please don't ever get that scary again…

Daniel: I kissed her hair gently and caressed her back, as I used to do with Andy back at Congo's ranch, before that little maggot had replaced me with Evan! I chuckled at the thought.

Sparkle: What? The sound of her voice was muffled as she was pressed tight against my chest

Daniel: I think I broke his wrist.

Sparkle: She pulled away from me and chuckled softly I hope so! Daniel: We curled up next to each other in bed, I dried the tears from her cheeks with my palms, and promised to stay awake watching over her till she would fall asleep. And that's exactly what I did.
