*evil grin of The Ponderings™*
You know who DEFINITELY would have Unfinished Business?
Heroes. Professional "If I could just MOVE, just fight a BIT LONGER, save ONE MORE PERSON" Heroes. It's the ultimate and unending Unfinished Business. To protect people. Not just their friends, their co-workers, but the innocent people around them.
That kid, stuck crying in the rubble.
That business man, screaming in pain, caught in the cross fire.
The People NEED them. They SWORE. Their very SOULS burn with the NEED to help. But... the flesh gave out. Injuries. Age. Quirk overuse. They knew... they KNEW, this was not a safe line of work... but... but! Please! Just one more person! Why can't they just make their breaking, dying, bodies MOVE!
Of course they refuse to move on.
They are needed HERE.
Yet? Their hands pass through. Their voices do not reach. A hell of their own, unknown, making. They can't let go, but they can't HELP either. There isn't enough Ectoplasm here. The walls of their reality overly patched up, since that unfortunate leak a few centuries back.
After all, the Zone had dumped near lethal quantities of unfiltered Ecto into the atmosphere. They're STILL dealing with the mutations and fall out, aren't they? At least, they are according to the Zone. (Wtf is a "Quirk"?) And, yeah, someone should PROBABLY do an assessment on the ecological recovery of the Reality. But like?
Do you have any idea how few people have an Obsession for stuff like that? Wait your turn! The list is long and you're not fuckin special, okay? The agents are BUSY.
Now, you might wonder? Wait. If they aren't moving on. Are DEFINITELY Ghosts. Starving as they are. Refusing to die as they may be. Wouldn't... Wouldn't that leave the whole ass area around their Reality an ecological dead zone? If it got over patched and no Ghosts LEFT, thus noticed, and started to try and work on it from the outside? Assuming the COULD?
Yeah. Yeah it would be!
It's called the "New Wastes"!
There used to be some cool Lairs around there. But there was a turf dispute. Someone DID something. Punched a HOLE. And everyone re-died. It was fixed but never quite re-healed. Portals... don't show up there? For some reason? Meh. Wanna brawl?
No. Danny's curious. He wants ANSWERS.
It's his fatal flaw.
Well... that and his inability to keep his mouth shut. But he likes to think he's funny. So... off he goes! And MAN! Does it feel funky out there! Weird textures. Mmmm, Don't Like THAT ™. It's probably a King thing? The Zone here... FEELS wrong.
Not... the way it's SUPPOSED to be shaped, if that makes sense?
And? It feels... if you sorta squint? Like... a LOT of people AREN'T where they should be. But aren't gonna leave until they're READY. Ooof. Great. Someone messed up again. Why does he KEEP FINDING bits and pockets that need straightening out? Unruffling? It's like he has to keep smooth out this giant peice of fabric with all these stains on it. Clean the messes on it.
He feels more like a maid then a King.
Maybe he is?
Pretty sure he's more of a nanny, since the Zone is more of a whiny yet excitable toddler then anything else. Alright, let him in. And fix... whatever THAT is.
So he steps into the Reality and? Huh. Japan. Neat. He always meant to go, never got around to it. Why is that man an otter?
.......oooohohooo, this place was HELLA fucked up by Ectoplasm, wasn't it? This is multi generational exposure. It's in the air. The water, ground, buildings. But stale to the point of stagnation. That can't be healthy. At least a few people he sees have developed ecto-resistance, thank the Ancients.
Danny discovers there are? "Superheroes"? Or just... heroes, apparently. They sell shampoo lines and athletic gear. Villians are petty criminals and psychopaths. All lumped together. He gets fuckin CHASED by the COPS and half the cities spandex patrol, called a "villian" (you know, like the purse snatchers and the DUDE WHO TRIED TO OPEN FIRE ON A CROWD) for flying around trying to assess the situation. Not speaking Japanese fast enough.
Soooorry! He TRIED to answer your confusing barked demands! This isn't his native language! He's translating through Ghost Speech! He knows it sounds unsettling to the living! It's the best he's GOT, man! (Asshole)
He escapes, obviously, because he's not 14 anymore. And honestly? He could top 200mph or so AT 14. He's only gotten faster. Intangible flight means no wind drag, motherfuckers~! OR need to dodge buildings! HA. Try to follow him through THE GROUND!
A few Blob sucked (to remove the ectoplasm) bits of treasure later? And he leaves a pawn shop with local currency. Thank YOU shady pawn shop! Ask him no questions, he'll tell you not lies. Enjoy Pariah's gold.
He does tourist things. Buy foods he's never tried, wanders around. Sees what's needed. Noticed a lot of people struggle with some aspect of the ecto-mutations brought on by the extreme Limnality. Need accessibility aids.
.....well, he IS a Fenton. His parents would disown him on the SPOT if he left with out at least TRYING to help. So he tracks down one the local ghosts. He'll need a guide or two.
He? VASTLY underestimates how desperate a sea of Obsession Starved Hero and Vigilante Ghosts will act, the INSTANT, they realize not only someone can see them... but it's? Their "Boss"? They aren't sure HOW they know that. But they DO. It's THE Boss. Here to help them! Asking for HELP ™ from THEM!
Yes
YES THEY CAN DO THAT
He gets swarmed. Hundreds of ghosts fighting over each other. Shouting. Turning on each other like rabid animals. All worn down and ragged by their Obssesion starvation. He's forced to shout over them.
And? Holy shit, these are only the ones from THIS CITY, too.
Thank Zone, again, he's no longer 14. That he has friends who are Rulers ™ that taught him HOW to Rule. To delegate. Pretend he TOTALLY knows what he's doing. That every action is on purpose.
It takes less then two hours, with all the experienced Unground Heros help, to make himself a Real Boy and buy a building. Put himself into the correct databases. He officially has licenses for things he's never studied. Is a tax paying citizen. Even belongs to several local clubs.
Over the next few days? He sets up his new... oi! Quickdraw! What're they called again? Right. "Lifestyle Support Company" which? Is a dumb name. But, Fenton Works is Fenton Works. Somehow he always kinda knew he'd be inherenting. It's in a cruddy part of town and the prices are cheap as he can safely get um.
He already had two customers, even though half the building isn't even fully set up. Which? I mean... he gets it. Poor guy. Knives for hands. Sharp ones too. The other guy's Obsession made him emotionally react to colors and like three different ones were ruining his life. So, hand Prosthetics controllable by knives and color filtering wrap around glasses.
Took him a lunch break or two.
Changed THEIR lives.
Suddenly his shop is packed. Schedule screaming for relief. And the ghosts? Getting more tangible by the day. See, his work shop? Ecto proofed. Let's him relax. But it ALSO let's him radiate fresh, clean, Ecto out into the air. And as King? With a direct line to The Zone? He puts out a lot.
There start to become Sightings.
People who SWEAR they saw long dead Heros out of the corner of their eyes. Dead vigilantes. That was who through that bottle. Who tripped that thug at just the right moment. Who unlocked the door. The SWEAR. They aren't crazy!
And... at first? Brushed off. Stress does a lot of crazy thing to a person, ma'am. But? How do you brush off, making eye contact with your dead best friend? Your old mentor on the other roof? That vigilante, who you WATCHED bleed out? Can you brush them off... when a vigilante from the dawn of quirks, punches some two bit villian on live television? Calls the Heros on the scene gloryhounds? Goverment dogs?
Runs from the cops and vanishes into thin air?
When this shit KEEPS HAPPENING?
Is spreading?
Are... are you supposed to arrest them for illegal vigilantism? How? They're THE proto-Heros! You don't want your name tied to that! The HPSC is furious. The goverment is uneasy. There are like... 6 dudes and a lady, openly stalking some kid in UA. Trying to mentor him. He looks moments away from a nervous breakdown.
Us too, kid. Us too.
All? While Danny? Is just sitting in his lil shop. Tinkering. Not HIS problem. Gotta let the ghosts here get it out of their system. Get their Obsession's full. Then it's all aboard the Zone Train. He's just here to make sure no one does anything "Too Crazy".
What's HIS definition of "too crazy"?
Wouldn't YOU like to know, weather boy~☆

so I'm doing Leander's route first bc I need to see wtf his deal is right *shakes him like a ragdoll* but I've been thinking abt how stressed n potentially hostile he'd get knowing you're cool with him but not obsessed
especially if you choose Ais as your official LI lmao that's gonna be fun!!! also read as: highly lethal
with Vere he'd probably be a little jealous of both of you? Like, "I get it, they're fine as fuck but damn fox you couldn't even GLANCE at me???" (maybe I'm delusional w that one)
I'm blanking on Mhinnie n his relationship but since they got all blushy wushy abt him I think they'd be kinda glad to steal you from him since he's sooo aggravating LOL
Since Kuras has known him since he was babie he might understand why u chose his father figured doctor like why wouldn't you, he's perfect (exactly babe that's what I'm sayin! *crawls all over kuras like a spider*)
Idk I'm really gonna enjoy torturing him with choosing every other mf after him lol imagine if this was some dokidoki shit n he corrupted my file over it 👁👁 noooo mr haunted corpse mage pls don't ruin my laptooop ~~

I’m late Fareeha, but let me ask you the same questions you asked me except for Damian!!
10, 18, 23, 44, 49
And maybe just for fun, 1 for Kuja!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
You can't even imagine how cool that you asked 1 for Kuja! xd I don't have any headcanons for him, because my hyperfixation for FF9 went through when I was 5! And Kuja isn't really my blorbo, I like him, but really love general Beatrix and Dagger and Steiner...! FF9 means a lot to me. I play videogames since age of 4 and only two games in my life made me want to dig into their world, learn about it everything, live there mentally, love ALL characters - and they are Bloodborne and Final Fantasy IX. There are many games that I like, adore or something but these two.... Ah....
BUT(T) I HAVE ONE THING IN CANON THAT I REJECT(ED EARLIER) in FF9
So here's a story
I played FF9 first time when I was 4 or 5 and my mom was teaching me how to read with this game! She said "If you want to understand what they are saying, you need to read yourself!" and I really started to read! She helped me a lot but I did my best because I loved characters and the game really much... Very smol Fareeha was enjoying the story when the man appeared on the screen:
Tumblr media
I was like *GASP* >:0
And I was VERY confused why does he look like THIS, WHAT THE HELL is on his HIPS. I said then that he is NASTY and was so embarassed and shocked xddddd My mom laughed, she was expecting me to like him because he looks attractive xD Later I finally accepted his look but still.... wtf is on his hips..... xDDD
Okay, now about Damian :'D
10 Best moment on the screen..... xD
He appears 3 times in the game as a phantom and I like them all? I suppose the most tragic is the one when we call him to defeat Rom... I don't know maybe they never knew each other, but in my headcanons he decides to kill her because wants Yharnam's nightmare to end and to fix what Micolash did by helping the player... It's painful for him to kill her and shall I mention that he may kill Yurie also if player wants so? I think Spider Rom realises everything what is going on she just knows that it needs to happen, that's why she fights us - to test us if we are really the one who will end the Nightmare like many bosses in souls-like games do... T_T
18 What they’d go to see a therapist about
He would totally talk about all the shit he did in the School of Mensis and OF COURSE about Micolash whom he trusted everything as well as his own life without any hesitation...
23 Scented candle. I am very specific and picky about them and if I would like to think about Damian with the burning candle... It would be a orange scented candle!
Tumblr media
He loves oranges in my headcanons and bought them from a caravan seller from southern lands which visited Yharnam once in three months <3
44 Q_Q Happiest memory - I will tell from my own vision of Damian's life? Since we don't know anything about Damian for sure, I just live in my own vision of all Bloodborne lore. I think it's the moment when he got to know Micolash closer in Byrgenwerth and realised that Mico is the one who he wants to care for, make him happy and give everything from himself. When he mutually fell in love but there was no violence, experiments, madness, just a time when Micolash was curious young student and Damian was a librarian... There were no ambitions and lethal plans, only casual problems and college routines, science and romantic...
And one more happy memory - when he was a Tomb Prospector and was teaching Gremia how to read! Among all of horrors of chalice dungeons that they explored, Research Hall experiments and Micolash who digged into observation of the sea, Damian felt very lonely, tried not to think about what is going of with people in Research Hall. He couldn't do anything with that at all or help them - it would mean to betray Micolash.
And then he gained a chance to take his mind off his problems! He just spent cozy evening with Gremia showing him how to spell letters and words, how to read fast. They were joking, having fun and kissing and... <3 (I have headcanon that Gremia was growing up on Yharnam's streets and earned money for life with fighting with bets. He didn't know how to read and write because it's all for "rich people" who can afford books at least. So he had problems with the Church which wanted Tomb Prospector to read and learn prayers... lol...)
49 I think his favourite toy was plushie bunny! Old, with button-like eyes, dusty, but loved by little Damian. I have no idea why but it's a strong headcanon. I have a vision of his childhood and that he had little brother named Irzhie. Irzhie was constantly ill and died at the age of 4. Irzhie died while sleeping and little Damian didn't understand that he is dead he thought that Irzhie was sleeping. And little Damian was just playing for his ill brother making a little theatre out of toys and his favourite plushie bunny. He learned the truth from parents later and couldn't realise what happened... Small kids can't understand what is death it's hard for them to realise that the person will never move or talk again... I think Damian's toy is buried with Irzhie T_T
Sorry for amount of headcanons, I really was excited to share my vision...

Personally, I think Harvey Dent should be compelled to boxing and guns because of toxic masculinity and fear/safety. Y’know America’s law about “the right to bear arms” and i bet his dad would have one, and he found it as a kid, and maybe he decided to teach him how to wield one. Anyways, i think he’d take up boxing before because it helps let out his stress, that’s why he’s always resorting to fists first. Plus plus, Twotwo must’ve gotten into street fights, with the whole bullying(?) and where he lives. Harvey wouldn’t hold the memories, but maybe his body would remember subconsciously.
Speaking of which, i know Harley can do gymnastics, but i’ve seen hardcore epic rollerblading so she’s seriously missing out on the potential of fighting on wheels. Might be hindering but its more fun that way.
There’s too many characters that I don’t believe can fight (Ives, Crane, Eddie) so I’m just gonna talk about the ones that can.
Selina isn’t a fighter, she’s a runner and escape artist, but she’s proficient in a whip and has claws to scratch. She can fight long enough for an opening.
Waylon could look really cool if he used a tail for stability and just whipped it at people, it also helps to distract by splashing water. He doesn’t need much skill since his strength is enough, but he just fully charges at people, and he bites.
Bane is obviously based after wrestling, but he’s had enough prison truffles that I bet he knows a thing or two about general brawling. I’m not sure his body can do it the same as before his huge honking muscles got in the way, but the skill is there. Also, he usually tries planning his fights in advance, he doesn’t take kindly towards unexpected attacks.
Talia obviously uses swords, but there’s lots of creative ways she can utilize it without killing. Plus, martial arts. Constant training smooths out her skills so she should be quick and look elegant and professional. She’s mostly been taught ways to kill and how to avoid getting killed, so she’d actually be surprised slightly against non lethal attacks.
Clayface doesn’t really have a style but i’ll give him points for generally having an ability that’s obscures people physically. Sometimes it’s creative, most times just throwing shit.
Sionis gets the usual mob boss, as in he knows his fucking guns. At least i think thats what mob bosses do, but i’m not sure.
Deathstroke is all professional, which means he has zero original style. He’s learned from the military and assassins so it’s your usual deadly fighter. He does wield dual swords for some reason? If it’s a katana again i will ignore it. Also i have no clue wtf a reverse grip is for so, i guess that’s something? Even if i don’t know what that something is??? He’s characterized as one of the best mercenaries, so i guess he’s physically unbeatable idk.

BNHA Chapter 292 “You And Me, Brother. Agni Kai.”
“The showdown that was always meant to be.”
Tumblr media
Yeah but for who? You don’t say for who.
Tumblr media
I THOUGHT YOU ONLY DID CLOTHES FIBERS JEANIST. MACHIA IS NAKED HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING THIS?!
Tumblr media
Iida I love you but DO NOT ENABLE THIS IDIOT RIGHT NOW. This is not the time. (Kacchan is smiling for the first time in forever though). And yeah Dabi here asking the important questions!
Tumblr media
Are you escaping by burning your own clothes? Are you going to fight your brother naked? Man, you’re just itching to take your clothes off today, huh Toya.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
HOLY SHIT. Hado trying to make up for not getting injured during the internship arc now by GETTING FUCKING BURNED ALIVE. HOLY CRAP.
Tumblr media
1) Work with and scream for her like that again, Shoto, and I my have to start shipping you two (NejiTodo? Damn and you both have so many great love interests already.) 2. DO NOT BE FUCKING DEAD HADO.
Tumblr media
“Oh ok sure. I’ll just quit it, since you asked so nicely.”
Tumblr media
This blessed Tododeku panel. Also I’m pretty sure you and Kacchan are hurt just as bad. (I guess he’s not worried about Kacchan since he could hear him being all “put me down dammit tis but a flesh wound”)
Tumblr media
NO DAMMIT YOU STAY PASSED OUT GOD DAMMIT 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It can always get worse huh.
Tumblr media
Who’s that?
Tumblr media
YAS ITS ZUKO VS AZULA AGAIN. AGNI KAI. (Also I guess we’ve had it wrong the whole time. Since Zuko’s the one who rebels against Ozai, calls him out and dethrones him, that means Toya has been Zuko and Shoto Azula this whole time. “My own mother thought I was a monster”. Holy crap. How did we not see this before)
Tumblr media
OK time to answer this question! So yep, confirmed. Toya DNGAF if his siblings die as long as Endeav suffers. Our boy is truly lost. 
Tumblr media
Shoto is legit trying to appeal to him. I wonder how much Shoto remembers him? He was pretty young when Toya quote-unquote ‘died’. And yeah jeeez. “Any feeling for anything”? Yeah, I’d say that’s pretty accurate. Even compared to the other LOV members Dabi just does not care about anyone else anymore.
Tumblr media
Is Shoto gonna come outta this arc with even more burns on his face? Damn. I thought Bishounen anime boys had some kinda Facial Immunity contract. Like, ‘cool scars are OK and you can mess up the lower body as much as you want, but do not touch the face.”
Tumblr media
Thank you Iida!
Tumblr media
OH GOD DEKU DON’T DO THIS TO ME
Tumblr media
OH MAN OH MAN OH MAN WHAT STUPID RECKLESS THING ARE YOU GONNA DO NOW?!
WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!?!!
Tumblr media
HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW mysterylover.exe has stopped working
Tumblr media
Abridged!Semi-perfect Cell Voice: “HOW? WHAT? I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS!!!”
1. If you have your quirk back Mirio then WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU THIS ENTIRE A RC?! 2. If not then did Eri JUST NOW figure out how to use her power to restore it? Damn there goes my hope that she could heal Deku’s triple-millionth broken arms. 3. Does Horikoshi somehow have access to my computer and know that I just finished re-watching the Internship arc?! The timing for this on my side was uncanny. 4. DEKU IF YOU TRY AND BE ALL “YOU’RE A BETTER SUCCESSOR THAN ME” again I SWEAR TO GOD... 5. Hado is injured so are we finally gonna see her relationship with Mirio in action? They have the least developed bond of the big 3 so far.  
Wow so much happened in that one chapter. Let’s see...so first, Is Hado dead? Second, Mirio - how? Just how? Why? What? Third, Bakugou and Deku you two stop fighting with lethal injures we can’t afford to lose either one of you. Fourth, Shigaraki you too. All three of them need to just chill the fuck out and stop doing things. Fifth, Shoto you as well. Do not be dead and watch out for that face of yours, you don’t need any more symbolic scars. Sixth, is burnin ok and who saved her? Finally, Toya WTF is up with you? Are you planning on self-destructing in this arc, or what? Are you really as indifferent to everyone as you claim to be, or are you meant to have your conscience reawakened? If not, then are you just evil now? 
dear god this freaking arc.

BBQ gripes about fanon Hawks
Not even gonna put this in the character tags aside from the spoiler one I use just for the anime-onlies on my blog. I'm salty. I just wanna vent. I want to keep the general character tags fun because it was awful when I went looking for new content and found so much Not Fun material a while back; and I don’t want to become what I hate. Basic point - my blog, my vent, and unless it’s reblogged (which you are welcome to if you like) this post dies here.
Please know this isn't a callout post or me claiming that others are being fans of Hawks "wrong" because they disagree with me. I am a huge proponent that (with very few exceptions) fiction and fandom should be free to be enjoyed, reinterpreted, or otherwise indulged in however the individual fan prefers; and if I don't like it, I let them have their space and go do my thing elsewhere and leave them alone (hence why this not going in character tags). I just have been annoyed with the rampant mangling of Hawks' canon  personality/characterization - that is, confusing common fanon interpretations of him with how he’s actually written/portrayed and then getting angry (like, actually-angry-spilling-into-publicly-dragging-real-people, not just disappointed) when he acts like canon Hawks in canon. Non-canon is open season and by and large has my blessing, it’s just frustrating when it gets dragged into discussions about the manga. 
This has been going on a long time, but I just want to get it out of my system in my personal space. All this is, is my "Overthinking Tumblr blogger Shakes Fist at Cloud" moment.
#1 Hawks is a sociopath/unempathetic.
I just... I... You can't be reading the same manga I am if you genuinely come to this conclusion about who he is in canon. A man with nothing to gain by looking like this when considering the depths of the suffering inflicted on others that he bears some amount of responsibility in...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
...cannot be called unempathetic.
"But he killed Twice and Best Jeanist!"
Twofold counterargument to this one, starting with BJ - we don't actually know he's dead. There's a body, there's a disappearance, and we have no idea wtf happened, but we also don't know wtf happened. It's drastically ooc for Hawks to murder someone in cold blood. For someone who places emphasis on speed specifically "because when two sides keep fighting and won’t give up, someone eventually has to die" it makes no sense for him to not have had a plan and simply ambush a man in his own home - this goes doubly since he was in contact with the HSPC and had time to "premeditate" anyway.
And as for Twice: Hawks ran out of options. He wanted to detain Twice and keep him from escaping and helping the MLA. He was able to do so when alone, but the moment Dabi cornered him Hawks had a choice to make - probably die in the fight and let Jin go or make absolute certain he can’t and still probably end up dying because he's in bad shape and still probably won't make it out of this, regardless. I don't need to harp on this - it's been said a couple different times now by several people. Even in 266 when Dabi initially ambushes Hawks, Hawks thinks to himself that he’ll carry Jin out of the building to keep himself and Jin safe before Twice retaliated and Dabi literally forces Hawks into a corner.
Jin's loss was a blow, but the chips on the table being wagered are human lives, not feelings. Up until that point, Hawks did everything he could despite the weight of his decision. Human life is human life, and Jin’s life isn’t more important than the may more who will be saved by quashing the MLA’s revolution. Simply equating “could kill someone” with “unempathetic” is fundamentally flawed, and mistaking someone who is pushed to kill despite every attempt to avoid it as unempathetic and even sociopathic has missed the point to the extreme - the mere fact he avoided lethal force for so long alone proves he possesses empathy.
#2 Hawks is a compulsive liar.
He is a good liar, but he does not like lying. He does twist the truth, but always when forced to keep a secret. Even then, his lies are predominantly spun from truth and omitted details instead of outright fabrications. He doesn’t gaslight, and he doesn’t make up stories/details if he can help it.
When Hawks told Endeavor his dreams for the future, that was the truth. When he told him he thought he was cool at the hero billboards, that was the truth.  When he tells Tokoyami to focus on his strengths instead of merely covering his weaknesses to be a better hero, that was the truth. When Tokoyami asks Hawks for his weakness and even why he took him on as an intern in the beginning just to ignore him, he tells him the truth.  When he tells Jin he "doesn't belong in a cage" and that he considers him a good person, that was the truth. When he recognizes he’s profoundly wounded Jin for deceiving him for months, he tells Jin the truth. When confronted by Dabi and he doesn’t need to lie anymore in this fight to the death, he tells him the truth despite not actually needing to in hopes to learn the truth behind Dabi and Shigaraki.
I don't have a better segue, so I'll just mention that a lot of folks who believe this also believe the next point.
#3 Hawks is unapologetically emotionally manipulative.
The context makes a huge difference and we need to look at when and why he manipulates others as well as the fact that he does.
At the hero billboards, Hawks plays the heroes on stage as well as the crowd. He's trying to shift the mindset of, "oh yeah, just another hero ranking" to "wake up, mf's, things are changing and you better be ready to change, too!" Rocking the boat is a huge no-no in Japan. Despite being part of his “persona” there is still real social risk involved with this move but one that he deems necessary to turn heads and get gears turning. This is not just an elaborate ploy to get under Endeavor’s skin, but an effort to reach a wider audience while he has them captive.
He does use the public crowd around him and Endeavor before the Hood fight as an excuse for its appearance, but the original intent was to mentally prepare Endeavor for what was potentially (and proved to be) the fight of his life without outright telling him so he could maintain his undercover status. When he realizes he’s part of the reason for Endeavor’s permanent scar and life-threatening injuries, he feels remorse.
He lies to Jin to get information out of him, but linking back to #2, when calls Jin a good person and offers him a way out, he’s telling the truth. He does feel guilt for having to manipulate an otherwise well-meaning person and betraying them, especially given his long-running history of being used and the ongoing issues he suffers from because of it.
When he meets up again with Endeavor to drop his clues about the League’s movements, he squirms when he realizes the interns don’t know him well enough to know he’s blowing smoke because he does NOT want these kids to actually buy what he’s selling. This espionage mission is hard to navigate, and he has to tread carefully lest he setup the dominoes in the wrong places.
This is all to make the point that Hawks is more than capable of emotionally manipulating people, but it’s not in his nature or something he does to any and every person he comes across just because. We haven’t had much opportunity to see him operate outside of the HSPC’s orders which is where the bulk of the instances of his manipulation comes from - those orders requiring him to operate covertly and thus, by nature, necessitate lying, manipulation, and strategically withholding information. 
If anything, when he’s making an appeal to someone else as his own person - not as a hero on a mission- we actually see a level of vulnerability and transparency we don’t otherwise catch.
Though it’s technically canon-adjacent and not necessarily canon in and of itself, in My Hero Academia: Team Up Mission where he works with Bakugo and Midoriya he operates on a level of transparency with them we’re not used to seeing; and my theory is he took it as an opportunity to operate without ulterior motives and build report instead of bucking back against “training up the next generation of heroes” like he initially did with Tokoyami.
Which now actually segues better into the next point.
#4 Hawks never lets people get close to him.
There’s a surprising amount of evidence that Hawks wants the ability to be an open book. Back at Team Up Mission, the restaurant staff note he regularly takes people he likes to their establishment - so we’re basically told outright this is a special place to him reserved for enjoying himself and only people he likes get to share it with him - so we already know what that says about how he sees those two despite their sparse interactions. We already know he’s taken Endeavor there when Endeavor made no move to input as to where he wanted to have the lunch meeting.
Though he kept Tokoyami at arm’s length initially, we have at least three canon instances of him sharing personal interactions with him with other canon-adjacent indications he cares for and values his intern. We’ve readily established that while Endeavor may not consider himself close to Hawks, Hawks does hold Endeavor as near and dear to his heart. While his only mission regarding Twice was to get information out of him, he still made a genuine effort to help and save him because he wanted to and considered him a friend despite the circumstances.
We still don’t know very much of Hawk’s past, his personal relationships outside of work, etc.; but despite the HPSC’s extensive efforts to strip him of his identity he not only possesses a faceted, complicated personality but seems to want to share that with others readily when and in the ways he’s able. Getting into the truly squishy, vulnerable parts of him may take a while, but on a scale of closed to open, he seems to lean towards open.
#5 Hawks is hopelessly in love with Dabi and will abandon everything up to this point for him.
This isn't to throw general DabiHawks shippers under the bus. Most of them know VERY well at this point that canon has sunk that ship, and they're just having fun with it at this point - and you know what, power to you! They look great together! In another life, the character chemistry could have been incredible. There’s a lot of great DabiHawks shipping content I thoroughly enjoy despite not shipping it myself.
It just isn't canon. It never was and never came close. Even now, with the Endeavor reveal being very much imminent, Hawks' view of Dabi is one of a lying, malicious, callous, murderer. Though he’ll likely be crushed at the revelation of what Endeavor’s done, that doesn’t equate to him defecting (especially not immediately) and falling into Dabi’s arms.
And Dabi hates Hawks just as much.
Again, this is not anything against the ship or the shippers - just an annoyance I have with some who were so wrapped up in the ship they were genuinely mad when the ship sank and they dragged that frustration out into the real world against real people when canon didn’t align with fanon. 
Ships are some of the most stupid things to rail against creators and fans over, and the amount of harassment they receive now over shipping has me ripping my hair out when I know it’s a mere fraction of the total pool of shippers who are frothing at the mouth while the rest are super cool and happy doing their own thing and keeping to themselves.
Ship what you want, regardless of “validating evidence” and have fun. Don’t make it others’ problem when it isn’t canonically validated.
#6 Hawks is a dirty cop.
Only half upset with this one because it comes down to the nuance and lack of precise definition of this phrase I have a problem with. Lots of people hate cops for very real, legitimate reasons. Police forces - being a voluntary, government-employed force enforcing government rule - are notoriously prone to corruption of every kind.
It's implied the HPSC is itself corrupt, though to what extent we don't know. (Granted, buying a young child from his family to raise as your personal puppet is pretty high up there.) By continuing to follow orders from the HPSC and not vehemently fighting back, many see him as reinforcing a corrupt institution and at least partially liable for their continued hold on society. 
Fair enough, but... The issue I have with this is it reduces Hawks to his job.
I believe a huge chunk of this take comes from my experience as an armed service member spouse, but it's easy for me to empathize with a guy
Who was promised the moon for himself and his family in exchange for his service not realizing what was actually being asked of him
Is praised outside the organization for "being a hero" and "upholding this country's core values" while first-hand witnessing the corruption of it when inside
Is viewed as a cog valuable only in services rendered instead of being treated like a human by said organization and worked into the ground because of it
Is frustrated by the insistence to keep the status quo instead of improving procedure/infrastructure/environment because egos need to be padded over real, human problems being solved
Has his autonomy or otherwise ability to operate under his own judgement restricted in favor of maintaining organizational control at the cost of effective action
Has DEPENDENTS who rely on his continued work to provide for them and is thus unable to refuse an order, even when it's morally reprehensible and even outright illegal
Whose cries, both those calculated and desperate, to the organization (who have placed themselves as the sole resource he can turn to) for help (even for his own body/mind) fall on deaf ears until he breaks to the point of becoming unusable or dangerous - and even then minimal effort/responsibility is taken in favor of keeping him functioning in the organization as long as possible.
Hawks fights back against the HPSC constantly. He raised concerns over letting civilians suffer to get him in with the League of Villains and then still defied orders by reducing casualties to zero. Despite orders to keep his mission top secret, he's informed Endeavor of his motives/movements independently from the rest of the heroes. He had long refused to take an intern (read: fresh meat for the machine) to train until this year, and even then sought to minimize his encouragement of Tokoyami for as long as possible until he realized Tokoyami was made of the real mettle people needed in a hero and not just another youngster endangering himself on a pipe dream.
He even takes initiative to keep his personal to-do list from the HPSC to a minimum by squashing problems before they come knocking asking him to fix it for them. He knew of the League of Villains and anticipated the escalation of their movements immediately after the USJ incident as well as has a network of informants and connections with local police forces to stay in the know.
His methods for apprehension of criminals are, and continue to be, to react and detain them so quickly they can't retaliate or endanger others in the struggle, thus minimizing human loss and injury despite the insinuation the HPSC has told him that gloves are off in the current situation.
He might be "a cop" depending on the definition we go with, but he isn't a dirty cop. He doesn't plant evidence. He doesn't shoot first and ask questions later. He doesn't blindly take orders. He largely doesn't see "villains" as dirt under his shoe but as people pushed to extremes. He's a morally convicted individual trying to rebel within the system instead of tearing it down outright. He may be wrong in the assumption, but he genuinely believes he can do more on the inside of the system than outside.
#7 Hawks is a manwhore.
Ok, this one is not serious and actually just to end this all on a lighter note after ranting until I'm blue in the face. 
I'm 100% guilty of this myself. Something about that chicken makes me and many others salivate - either for themselves or to watch him with someone else. We love dressing him up slutty, portray him as flirting unashamedly, and placing him in as many overtly sexual scenarios possible.
The best part about all of it, though, is that it’s almost the exact opposite of how he dresses/conducts himself in canon. His clothes are loose fitting and high-coverage. He’s personable, but never gives any indication he’s romantically/sexually involved or interested in anyone. The asscourse is real only because we cannot confirm either way due to his baggy clothes. His overall figure/body shape has been hinted at, but only recently confirmed; and his jacket had to be literally be burned off to get a good look at the pattern of his shirt under it!
~~~~~~~
And with that, I release the frustration and move on. 
Enjoy fanon as much as you like - even I do! Just be aware of where canon and fanon diverge, and definitely don’t take the difference out on real people. Please also be aware of how others hold their favorite characters dear before flooding the general tags with negativity and creating a hostile environment for them. People latch onto their “comfort characters” for a plethora of reasons, and when they lose that character to the plot, the fandom, or otherwise, they should still be allowed to grieve and celebrate what they had in a safe environment. 
Retaliation in response to others coming against your favorite is also not acceptable behavior. It sucks, but the most mature thing to do is step away from the general fandom, stick to blogs/spaces you know are safe, and let the storm blow over. Comfort characters do not justify mistreating real people no matter how much they may mean to you.
When “canon gets it wrong” is where fanfiction and pockets of the fandom community comes into play. Leave those people alone and let them be. For those who aligned themselves with canon, they are not free game to take personal frustrations out on. Leave those people alone and let them be. Unfollow the people/tags you need to for your own sake and others’, and the fandom will be a better place all around over time. Venting belongs in controlled spaces away from the rest of the fandom and with enough warning for those who not only don’t want to endure it but who for their own safety shouldn’t.
Fandom is a community, and healthy communities do not endorse members lashing out when they don’t get their way.

It's how she's able to deal with him (and aizawa) (aizawa reminds her of Bruce and always gives him a smile due to it (or a hug when he allows it, she misses her dad) while yamada reminds her of all the happy ones in the family(he automatically gets a hug) ie dick, Steph, Duke, Harper)
A/N: *MUA* you my friend is just..you are a blessing. THIS EVERYBODY THIS ANON ABOVE ALL. When I see you in the street...it’s on sight with hugs and kisses. 
Literally i hope you don’t mind i made this into headcanons^^ this was such an interesting view on it. Y’know i’ve kinda been thinking of DC and MHA too so i'm convinced you have tElEkiNeSIS tyPE pOwERs
-SO let’s just make up a scenario to make this work shall we?? 
-Well i’d imagine you’d be like the youngest?? Maybe like second to Damian. I don’t know if I can totally just imagine the Batfam just being super soft and always spoiling her because of how young she would be compared to them.
- That’s why when she sees the batfam in Aizawa and Yamada, she’s instantly so affectionate and loving to them. Just out of instinct or more so a sense of familiarity. 
-OMGIHSHB what if one day like Aizawa is wearing a super formal type business suit. Like top of the line, totally only has one of those in his closet and is wearing it for a school event since it’s gonna be public and they must be top tier or something. And literally from a side view he looks like Bruce and she just runs up to him and jump hugs him, thinking that Bruce came to surprise her like ahhhh
-”Bruce you came~~ I missed you so much”
-and Aizawa is just in pure shock like wtf just happened???? Then he realizes what you just said and just is super soft
-”haha y/n tell me, do i look that sharp to be mistaken for my multi-billionaire??”
-He would understand how you missed you dad and just allows you to be in his arms for a bit, even after you apologized. 
-But hugs on the daily for him aren’t really a thing, he’s just not a really affectionate person and it’s nothing personal to be fully honest. He shows his love by the soft smiles or chuckles, or just talking to you sometimes. Even just being near you is his way of spending time. SImilar to Bruce, harper, and Jason.  They all love you lots but they aren’t necessarily fond of hugs and kisses. However you’ll most definitely get one if it looks like you really need it or if they feel up to it.
-For yamada it’s like how when Aizawa and him are together and Yamada is saying something utterly sly or just making stupid puns and Aizawa and just really done with it but still sticks around because he still loves him. 
-Like when this happens you always start laughing and they always get super confused and and ask you why are you laughing so much and it’s always the same answer…
-”yo Miss.America? Why are you laughing so much?”
-”Oh I'm sorry, you just remind me of my older brother and my dad so much. Like this same scenario always happens, Dick is always annoying Bruce and Bruce always has this unbothered facade on and it’s very funny to me.”
-”AWWWW LOOK SLEEPY MAN WE REMIND OUR LITTLE GIRL OF HER REAL FAMILY.ODCJBVKINONJKJeojOJENJONCJO OMG OMG DOES THIS MEAN WERE PRACTICALLY HER JAPANESE PARENTS??? DO WE HAVE UNOFFICIAL CUSTODY?? AIZAWA WE SHOUL-”
“Shut up yamada- however that's cute Y/N.”
- he radiates Dicks chaotic energy it’s so ughhh. 
- Sometimes during lunch you’ll sit with Yamada and play a few games while eating some food. It reminds you of the times in the summer when you sometimes would play board games with Duke while eating some of Alfred's famous sandwiches.
-Of course you’re the reigning champion and always beat both of them at every game you’d play. Both are 100% sore losers
-”Come on Y/N! That’s totally cheating. I’ll go get Bruce if you keep it up”
-”YYYY/NNNN THERE’S NO WAY YOU WON THAT!! I CALL CHEAT CODES. I’LL GET AIZAWA ON YOU.”
-But HUgs yes like everyday when you come into school, you give Yamada the biggest hug everrrrr. It’s so cute like he’s always super happy to see you.He’s ruffle your hair a bit and ask you about your day. It reminds you of Dick, Steph, and Duke. They are always the quickest to greet/play with you. Yamada’s warm child-like demeanor 100% is a carbon-copy of that.
-MIght i add how literally over-protective both parties are over you. Like even though you’d be like 15 given UA is a high school, they still treat you like you’re a lost 9 year old haha. You’re not as much of a fighter as the rest of your siblings, most of them are highly trained and are lethal weapons.  You on the other hand focused on brains-over-brawns. SUper smart and  can make super cool gadgets?? Perhaps?? Anyways they are always on top of you and making sure you’re safe just incase shit hits the fan. 100% all of them will throw hands for you. Blood will be shed in your honor.
-Like the attack on tiTaN sorry my inner weeb just auto corrected
-Like the attack on UA with all the villains, first thing first i’d feel yamada or Aizawa would have made sure you are protected and not in harm's way at all costs. You’re too precious to them. pLUs iF bRuCE fOUnD oUT yoU wErE hURt tHE wAY tHE lAwsUiT woUlD deSTrOy thEIr WHoLE LIFE.
-This ahh the way you made me imagine this whole universe ANoN liKe DamN. seND moRe of This To ME  OKAY liKE my lIfE suPPoRt is BatsIs and MHA at thIS pOint. If i don’t see you in my asks in like 24 hrs then...DUN DUN DUN

I fucking love your rant on the horrible planning of the heroes. Wtf is that? Hawks gave the HC everything on a bloody silver platter, took one for the team and killed one of the biggest threats at the loss of his wings only to have everyone else fuck it up due to terrible tactics. I'm mad that I didn't get to see Edgeshot go off or that neither Todoroki were at the mansion because oh-Dabi-secret-gotta-keep or whatever. Ugh.
stop YOU’VE ignited my anger again w this Dabi shit ugh ur mind
IF DABI ISN’T A TODOROKI, WTF WAS THE POINT OF KEEPING ENDEAVOR AWAY? I CANNOT understand NOT putting Endeavor in a place where a LETHAL ICE USER IS OBVIOUSLY GOING TO RUN RAMPANT. Endeavor’s place at the hospital is so incredibly uneventful that I can’t see any reason he was there except Todoroki-avoidance. His Number 1 Hero title shouldn’t have been a deciding factor ether. If it was, that’s fucking dumb. Going by prestige first and not quirk-compatibility is STOOPID
‘Endeavor is the only one who’s tangled with High-Ends and won! So obviously we’re sending him to the proposed Nomu-Making location!’ SO WHY WASN’T HE GOING IN FIRST INSTEAD OF MIRUKO? Why’d he get left w fodder Nomu? If it’s bc he wasn’t fast enough to haul ass to the underground lab then ok? This was a time sensitive situation so why not send someone who isn’t 1) weighed down by bara titties and could 2) fare better than Miruko or at least keep up w her & duo blitz Ujiko (talking about Edgeshot again...sigh... anyways) 
I wanted Geten’s little punk ass going up against a guy who actually knows how to use his flames and doesn’t have the intelligence quotient of a rabid raccoon when he’s angry. @ Dabi. Dabi vs Geten was delicious but Endeavor vs. Geten? I require it. But I won’t get it. I got Mt. Lady vs Geten instead and the thicc bitch got blasted into Male-Gaze Central with that ass shot Hori drew. I’m mad
I’ve blocked Hawks’ number this week bc I forgot how butt hurt I was about Twice but later, Ima tell him how sorry I am that he carried the entire fucking hero society on his back for months, had to kill 1 of the 2 friends he’s ever had, got curb-stomped 20 times, got 8th degree burns, YES PROBABLY LOST HIS WINGS, dropped on his head like a baby—FOR WHAT? 
What would’ve been really FUCKING cool was if the HC had planned a counter attack team for Dabi, and the moment everyone saw big ass blue flames burning up this building, said attack team coulda jumped in and saved Hawks from becoming Japan’s Next Top Burn Ward Resident by doing something useful and TAKING ON ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS PLF ASSETS RIGHT THEN AND THERE. The Tokoyami rescue scene was nice but... very cheap imo

How you got here was just another question you kept pondering in your head as you continued to lay in the arms of your boyfriend. One of his hands was holding your around your stomach while the other was stretched on the matress, naked and revealing his dark skull-shaped tattoo. 
He is not dark. He cannot be dark. His touch can be so gentle, his eyes so kind when they fall on you...but who are you fooling, (y/n)? 
*flashback*
"HE DID WHAT!? AND YOU-YOU KISSED HIM BACK!?!" he shouted on the top of his lungs, his fists clenched so tight that his nails caused his palm to bleed.
He was hurt. He was truly hurt that his girlfriend's lips were on any other but his enemy.
"I pushed away, Mulciber! I pushed away because I'm in love with you and not him! I pushed away because I realized that I don't love him!" you shouted back, tears starting to gather at the corner of your eyes without any permission to.
"He's- he's-" he struggled with words. "He's DEAD!" he screamed so loudly you felt every bone in your body shake and your heart stop for a second.
"Mulciber." you spoke softly now, avoiding his glare. " Don't do anything stupid." you stepped closer and took a hold of his fist, unclenching it and tracing your fingertips against the scars he left.
He looked down on you with a glare, gritting his teeth and trying to bottle up the anger he wanted to release. " He's going to pay! " he growled dangerously, barely in control of his emotions.
"Can you stop, Mulciber!" you snapped and he looked at you with a stunned look on his face. " Stop acting like a child! It was a meaningless kiss that just proved how much I love you! Don't listen to jealous and angry voices in the back of your head! Listen to me! If I held any feelings towards Sirius I wouldn't be here with you! I wouldn't be here having this fight and trying to solve it! I wouldn't be telling you the truth and I definitely wouldn't be trying to accept the mark you got on your forearm! I know you're not a monster! It just came out wrong!" you shouted, panting quietly and trying to catch some air as he only stared.
He stared at you with eyes that couldn't hold anger anymore. They were full of lust and love that was only directed to one specific person. You. You and your stupid effect on him that worked like a charm. Your eyes and your lips and everything that came so beautifully with this stunning person in front of him. You.
And as much as he wanted to be stubborn and angry at you for kissing back Sirius Black, he kissed you. Roughly, passionately,... Like the burning jealousy inside made him kiss you so good no man could ever match him.
*end of flashback*
Your nails now wandered on his forearm, following the snake that came out from the terrifying skull and lightly scratching him awake.
"I love you." he whispered sleepily in your ear. Lovely, raspy and sleepy words which made you smile and flutter your heart as you turned your head to meet his eyes. 
It was the first time he ever said that. First time. He never said those three gorgeous, powerful words to you that sounded like magic at the very moment. Because this man, who is supposed to be toxic, cruel and malicious, has now spoken words no other would ever believe.
You stared at him with a beam and blinking a few times to be sure if you're not dreaming. "I really hope you'd say it back or this will end up being a very embarassing situation." he grinned and you rolled over on him, leaving a few squeaks as you placed yourself right on top of him.
You pulled the covers up to your nose and watched him with all joy that you felt. " Say it again."
He chuckled at your bubbly-self and rolled his eyes. " I-" he smiled and wrapped him, squeezing you. “ Love you.” 
"I love you too." you finally said back and rubbed your nose against his before kissing his softly on the lips.
---
You never accepted the Dark Mark nor the Mulciber who wanted to serve the Dark Lord but you knew one thing for sure: You loved him and he loved you. And if any cliché movie and book told you is that love can concern everything.
It's total bullshit but you had a plan for it. You had a plan to make Mulciber turn away from the dark path.
So, you didn't worry.
"I think your roots are coming out." said one of your friend as you ate breakfast with them. 
"Yeah, I know. I'm going to the hairdresser soon." you smiled.
"What are you going to do? Dye them rainbow?" they all started to tease and you only quirked an eyebrow.
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"I don't know but maybe if you grew them long again and dye them normal colour, you'd look like a girl again." she smirked and you dropped your fork on the plate.
How ready you were to have a bloodbath with this Hufflepuff at the very moment but that is not who you were.
Quirking an eyebrow at her first, you slowly chewed the food in your mouth and stretched the fakest smile you could. " You know what, Liza? You are completely right. I'll just let my normal natural (y/h/c) grow back and long like it used to be." you pushed away a plate and got on your feet. "Can't believe how stupid I was." you let out a fake laugh and they laughed along.
"You're welcome." she beamed and you waved at her goodbye, turning her your back and changing your expression as it was before.
---
You were gone for a whole day. One whole day. Nobody didn't know where you were and Remus Lupin was completely losing it.
Why? - Because both of you had a transfiguration project due today and you had all the research. He hoped that when he walked in the class, you'd be there with papers in your hands and that bubbly smile of yours. But you weren't. You were not in the classroom with the other Hufflepuffs.
"Liza! Have you seen, (y/n)?" he asked as he ran over to her and another Hufflepuff. He was desperate and on the verge of ripping his hair.
"Nope. Not since this morning. I think I offended her a bit at breakfast."
"Offended? Offended her how?" Remus quirked an eyebrow and Sirius looked her way as well.
" Girl thing." Liza smirked proudly with a thought of holding any power over you.
Sirius smirked and started to pull out his quill and books. You? Offended? Sure. He chuckled to himself and finally sat on the seat next to James.
Remus sat down as well, his heart rate racing and his eyes bulging out of his head. His thoughts were so wild in his head that he didn't even see you come in the classroom, unlike Sirius who almost fell off his chair at the sight.
" Hey, Remus." you smiled and sat down next to him, placing your bag down on the floor and pulling out a pack of papers.
Remus shot his head to you almost breaking his neckr but it took him only a few moments to realize that the girl next to him really is different today. " (y/n)?" he blurted out, almost as he wasn't sure.
"Remus?" you smiled, your eyes twinkling.
"Your hair?" he pointed breathlessly at your short hair. Completely short at the back of your head while at front fell long strands of light violet hair.
"Yeah. Isn't it cool?" you smiled and ran your hand through them, flipping them on one side.
" You look great!" he beamed, observing your hair and causing the Hufflepuffs in front of you to turn around in their seat.
" (y/n)?" Liza scoffed with a smile. "You look like a boy!" she started laughing hysterically and the girls next to her as well.
Sirius stare shot up to the Hufflepuffs and he was prepared to say something back but you cut him off by looking down at your breasts. "No, I don't think so. My breasts are still bigger than yours and-" you stopped and narrowed your eyes at the ceiling, pretending to ponder a thought. " Yeah, bigger guts too. You see, Liza? I look good in long hair, short hair and I think if I decided to have rainbow hair, I'd still be better looking than your ugly arse." you smirked at her before turning to Remus and his wildly charming smirk. "I added a few more excerpts for Reparo and Revelio if that's okay with you. Just so if she doesn't like it, extra points for the longer report." you winked and he beamed at you.
"You are-" he took the papers from your hands and browsed through the report. "Amazing."
---
You’ve been the gossip of the day with your new change. There wasn’t a student who didn’t hear about your hair and you found it funny how one hairstyle could be the biggest gossip of the whole school.
Since Mulciber heard the gossip, he grew so impatient to see you that he ditched his Arithmancy class just to find you. He walked the corridors with a quick pace, his expression lethal as always and his eyes scaring away every student who crossed his path.
It took him tiny little doubts to stop at one student and petrify him. Just to taste his fear for a little while, to feel more powerful for one small second... But his curiosity for you was far stronger, so he made his way to the Hufflepuff common room and made his way to your dorm.
He opened the door gently and slowly, peeking inside. “ (y/n), love?” he spoke softly and with a grin.
He came in, looking around the five beds and making his way towards yours. He sat on the bed right next to your bright yellow pillows and took a framed photo in his hands. It was a photo of both of you laughing even before the two of you started dating. During the holidays when you stayed at your aunt’s house, neighbor to Mulciber’s home. He chuckled and carefully placed it back where it belonged.
“ Mulciber?” a soft voice came from the bathroom door. “ Wha-what are you doing here?” you asked, putting a hood over your head and zipping up the hoodie up to your neck.
“ I heard my girl got a new haircut and I’ve been dying to see it.” he grinned and you felt tears spike your eyes. His grin immediately disappeared from his lips and he carefully took a few steps forward. “ What’s wrong?” 
“ No-no-nothing’s wrong.” you stepped a few steps back and felt a tear fall down your cheek but you quickly wiped it away. “ Shite.” you forced a smile on your lips and try to avoid his gaze.
“ Love, you are terrible at lying to me.” he walked closer and reached for your hands. “ Now, tell me what’s wrong?”
“ I- I-” you stammered and felt tears roll down your cheeks without any of your control. “ I look awful!” you suddenly broke down. “ The-they pissed me off because they didn’t like my hair a-and I was so stupid and told the hairdresser to cut them all off!” you sobbed and he pulled you into a hug, placing his head on top of yours and rocking you left and right.
“ You don’t look awful.” he said and kissed the top of your hood. Slowly pulling you away, cupped your cheeks and wiped your tears away with his thumbs. His hand followed to your hood and slowly put it off, to reveal your new, short, bright violet hair, falling down your sides. “ Wow.” he smiled breathlessly with a glint in his eyes. “ You look just beautiful.”
You smiled at him and felt his hand run through your short hair. All you wanted to do was prove those girls they don’t have any power over you or that the stereotype of girls having long hair is crap. And you liked it at first but now looking in the mirror with your bright violet hair made you want to cry and grow them back.
“ You, my dear.” he smiled, lifting up your chin and leaning his forehead on yours. “ Look absolutely stunning in your crazy hair. I think I just fell in love with you more.” he continued and you let out a small laugh. He pulled you into a kiss, soft and gentle as he always was when it came to loving you. “ And if anybody has a problem with them, they have a problem with me too.”
---
" Lupin - Johnson, Prince - Longbottom, Potter - Evans, Pettigrew - Hollows, (y/n) - Black..." you shot your head up immediately, staring at Professor Sprout.
"No, no, no, no, no..." you murmured to yourself and turned in your chair to face his devilish grey eyes. "No!" you pointed your finger at him but he only grinned.
" What an odd coincidence." he wiggled his eyebrows and licked the bottom of his lip, grinning.
"You did this on purpose!"
"Me?" he played daftly but kept the grin present. " How dare you accuse me of such a thing?!"
"Har- har." you retorded before turning to Remus.
You knew this was all his fault. He was the only one of the four smart enough to pull this off. He caught your gaze and immediately turned it away, tensing up from your angry energy.
" You are a dead man, Lupin."
----
“ Thyme has numerous magical properties. It is available as an essential oil, it can be burned as incense and the leaves can be made into poultices and teas.” Sirius read while your pen scribbled along on the piece of paper. “ Thyme’s associations include healing, love, psychic knowledge and purification.” he continued and read the next line carefully, smirking midway. “ Thyme is associated with two planets, Mercury and Venus; with the element of water; and with Taurus and Libra. “ he closed the book and threw it on the table while you continued to write the last words you heard from him. After you finished, you looked up from the report and at him, quirking an eyebrow.
“ Why did you stop?” you asked perplexed by his sudden change of mood.
“ You know who else’s planet is Venus?” he leaned forward on his chair, eyes twinkling. “ Scorpio’s.”
“ You’re joking!” you scoffed and backed away from the report. You leaned on your chair, crossed your arms over your chest and stared at him with amusement. “ This is going to be fun.” you mumbled and continued to watch his grin spread as well as the mischief in his eyes.
“ You know who else is Scorpio?” he continued and you only watched. “ Me. “
“ What an interesting fact.” you pretended to be amazed, gasping dramatically as he only chuckled.
“I know right. And us Scorpio, well, you know us, we’re passionate...” he now leaned more forward, something else shimmering in his eyes. Something completely more dangerous. “ ...stubborn..” he continued, leaning closer. “ ...determined...” his voice started to lower into a more angry yet seductive. “...and we get jealous really quickly. "
You smirked and placed your hand over his face, pushing him further away from you. " And my horoscope is just about not giving a damn about whatever comes out from your mouth, except anything related to Thyme and its magical properties."
" Okay then. " he grinned and leaned back on his chair, mirroring your posture. " Thyme doesn't understand how Venus is good for her and how Mercury is not. "
You scoffed once again, seeing his metaphore. " Thyme is completely alright with planet Mercury. "
" Yeah but Venus knows her better than Mercury. Venus knows what's good for her and Mercury doesn't."
"And what does Venus say what's good for Thyme, huh?"
"Well, dating Mercury is a first. He joined the Death Eaters and I hardly doubt he didn't get the Dark Mark already. One thing leads to another and Mercury is growing dark and pulling Thyme with it." he spoke in more serious tone, causing you to glare at him.
"Well, at least Mercury gives me something Venus never could. "
"Sex? Because God knows I could-"
"Love!" you cut him off, standing up. "It's love! Something you never gave. You think you love me, Sirius, when all you do is being possessive over me because your ex  got together with your biggest enemy!"
" NO! NO!" he bellowed back, growling. " It's not because I love you or don't love you! It's because I know that you think you're being all bad-arse and cool, hanging around with him and his friends but all you're doing is following him into the darkness! I know that's not you! I just know it deep inside you're not the person you want to be. "
"I don't pretend Sirius!"
"I know you don’t but you're acting out! He's not the one for you! As much as you want him to not submit to the Dark Lord, you're wrong! Sooner or later he's gonna do it and whatever you want to do you can't! I'm sorry but you can't!"
"Yes, I can! He loves me!"
"He's a pureblood, (y/n)! And like any pureblood, he'll choose reputation and family over anybody! Over you!"
"You didn't."
"I'm different!"
"Oh, here we go again with the egoism." you huffed and rolled your eyes. "Bravo, Sirius."
“I- UGHH!” he clenched his fingers and ran his hands through the sides of his head. “ You are unbelievable to argue with!” he growled angrily in desperation to which you found oddly amusing and funny.
You never saw this side of Sirius. The angry Sirius, the desperate Sirius. He really tried to prove a point to you right now to which you did nothing but continue to avoid.
You let out a small hum, similar to laughter. You couldn’t help yourself but laugh at the situation, confusing him even more.
“What?” he asked, firstly completely perplexed with one of his thick black eyebrow quirking up before his lips spread into a grin. “What are you laughing about?”
“You.” you chuckled and continued to smile at him. “Us. Look at us. We’re bickering like two old married couple. ” you let out another chuckle and he smiled as well.
“Two old married couple.” he repeated so quietly you could barely hear the disbelief in his voice.
“Look.” you spoke after the chuckling settled down. “I know you don’t like Mulciber and I am completely aware of him and his loyalty to the Dark Lord. If it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be. If he decides to choose him over me, I get to live with that. It wouldn’t be my first heartbreak.” you simpered and his smile quickly faded, taking a hold of your hand.
“I never meant for you to get through all that. I never meant of us to break up so ugly as we did. ” he spoke softly with guilt in his tone.
“Sirius, it’s okay.”
“No, let me finish.” he sighed and took a deep breath in. “ You’re right. I do have a big ego and I’d do anything to keep my reputation right but what I got taught at the Potters all those years is that doing the right thing, that’s what matters not reputation. So yes, I do need to apologize to you because I never slept with you or your best friend but I started a rumor that I did and I shouldn’t have done that. It just came out so wrong and under so much pressure, I didn’t know a clue I was doing… But please don’t smoke or go dark. You don’t deserve that.”
You giggled at his last two sentences. “ I won’t go dark, don’t you worry. ” you pulled away from his hold and turned back to the books. “ Or smoke but I will force you to finish this Thyme assignment with me.” you smiled and he let go of your hands to grab the book. 
He opened it on the page he closed on before and cleared his throat. Before he started, his eyes glanced one more time to you. “ I love the hair by the way. It’s different.” he smiled and you looked up to meet his eyes as well. 
His eyes that held something so lovely inside. A mystery you couldn’t decide but felt the answer to. So, ignoring every single flare that lit up between the two of you, you shook your head and simpered. “ Thanks.”

Chapter 8: Fear The Reaper (Loki X OFC Pairing)
To say Loki was a complicated demi god, would be more of an understatement than saying Tony Stark is a decent techie or engineer. He had more facets than the world's most perfectly cut diamond and more layers than an ogre made of onions. Lucky for me, the first few layers were just leather and metal and some really fancy fabric from a destroyed planet/realm. He wasn't kidding about the not sharing part either, in that he became not so much overly possessive per say but he was prepared to let the multiverse know no one could have me but him. Case and point, propping himself up and over me, an arm on either side of my head almost as if he was using himself to keep me in and others out. There was also love bites in several very visible spots I didn't have the heart to tell him would heal before I would leave the bedroom we ended up in. He paused between kisses he stole from me to watch me intently below him and lifted one hand up to cup my face, tilting a bit so his eyes met my heavily lidded ones. "No matter how much death comes for me, I still want more."
I chuckled at his blatant pun. "We could keep going but I think at some point you'd be pegged a necrophiliac."
"Isn't that how most people want to go out, death by violently passionate love?" he purred. "Am I too much for you then, love?"
I snickered at the challenge. "Heavens to murgatroid no, not a bad way to go though, you're right on that."
"Then pray tell, why the pause? You shouldn't be thinking as hard as I feel right now."
"I'd have more energy if certain polarities were reversed."
It was his turn to pause then as he was trying to figure out what I was getting at. "My magic is making you more mortal than necessary, but wouldn't changing that make you numb again?"
"I told you I can still feel extremes normally, not when you're switching me back to life."
"Why do I feel like there's another reason you want to do that?"
Damn him and his clever mischievous natural scheming detector. "What other reason could there be?"
"Why don't you tell me?" he dropped his head to bury itself in my neck, finding the sweet spot and sucking, nipping on it till I squirmed under him.
"I've had you as an Asgardian god, now I wanna try a Frost Giant."
"Ever the curious creature you are. You sure you want this, the effects could be dangerous."
"What? Like frostbite? That's just flesh dying of the cold, I'm already dead, no biggie. Stop asking if I'm sure, you glorified smurf." And suddenly emeralds turned to glittering rubies and the room became much cooler. I reached up with both hands and pulled his head to mine, kissing him passionately, the cold never bothered me anyway.
"You two are worse than bunnies," Tony commented much later while we were all in one of his meeting rooms for the next mission.
"Says the man that used to take a different woman home every other night," Loki quipped.
"We'd be worse than bunnies if I was prego right now but literally nothing is alive in me so your argument is invalid," I told Tony. "Bunnies aren't that great to begin with anyway, oh sure they look all cute and fuzzy but they poop everywhere, aren't great housepets and die quite easy in extreme tempts which is unfortunately the kind of temps New England is known for. Great waste of fluff and space bunnies."
Everyone in the meeting room turned to me then with different expressions but the same basic principle of "wtf" about my little rant.
"What kind of pets do you like then?" asked Clint.
"Cats. Mostly self sufficient, don't need to be constantly cared for, don't hog the bed when they want cuddles, what more can you want in a pet. Anyway, why are we all here? You interrupted my naptime."
"Spoken like a true cat person," mused Tony. "Seems there's some undead activity nearby that requires our attention."
"Don't look at me, they only come when I ask."
"Which means that there's another necromancer around that's not playing by the rules you do."
"Well you know how it is, suddenly you have the power to raise an army and it gets to your head. In an unrelated story, beheading works best in stopping power hungry necromancers."
"Does shooting the head work the same or do we have to actually separate the skull from the body?" asked Steve.
"Afraid to get a little messy, Steve-o? You're dealing with monsters here, you're gonna get messy or you're next."
"Did you just threaten Captain America?" asked Tony in mock shock. "I'm liking you more and more."
I smirked. "Depending on the level of power they have, even the most lethal of shots or slashes can heal if its clean. Loki, a dagger please?" Loki straightened an arm and one slid out of his sleeve and into an open palm which he then handed to me almost uncertainly. I took the blade and slid it against my wrist as an example. For a moment blackened blood oozes out of the cut before it sealed itself back up and the blood was absorbed back into my body. "If clean wounds are all you know, I strongly suggest any number of horror films with gore and violence warnings on the rating for ideas."
"I'm sorry I'm slightly confused here, earlier you were telling us how there's so few of you guys left yet here you are telling us how to cut you down more..." Clint spoke up.
"There's two types of necromancers, those that do their job and those that steal from the honeypot, I don't care about the latter, they disrupt the natural order we're meant to abide by. If that means we reach white rhino status, then so be it, I can live with that."
"Remind us again what white rhino status means?" asked Steve.
"You can count how many of those beasties are in existence today on one hand and still have a few free fingers, they've been hunted by poachers for their horn to near extinction and the few left are now under armed guards to ensure that doesn't happen."
"I've got a question about dead animals," Tony spoke up. "Have you tried raising them?"
"They've been on this planet a lot longer than we have and we cause them enough grief destroying it and them along with it, I leave them alone as they deserve to rest more than we do."
"What about dinosaurs, think of what you could do with your own T-rex," Clint noted.
"Ok firstly there's an entire franchise of movies explaining exactly why it's a terrible idea to resurrect dinosaurs, i mean their name even means terrible lizard. Secondly there wouldn't be much left of them to resurrect, they're millions of years old and there's a reason we only see casts and not the actual bones of them. They're brittle as fuck, the actual bones are kept in a temperature controlled vault in a basement somewhere. Sure, it would look cool as hell having an army of angry monster skeletons behind you but the second they get close to the enemy, they're literally dust. Nice try though."
"So just stick to humans then," Tony noted.
"Fuck yeah."
"So you couldn't resurrect someone old enough, say George Washington?" Clint asked.
"Putting aside the fact that every single person that knows about him or seen his portraits remembers him as a stiff stoic and heroic first president and bringing back a grinning corpse because if there's anything left of him still hanging around its gonna be bones and tattered clothes aka nightmare fuel. It also takes a lot more effort to bring back moldy oldies because not only would they have probably been at peace in their final resting place a lot longer and don't wanna go back to the fucked up world we made it in their absence, theres a lot more effort in putting them together before they rise. Any other erroneous questions and misconceptions?"
"I've got one," Tony piped up. "You've said you only feel extremes most of the time and I'm curious, can you taste pain too? I'm convinced you're actually Liv Moore under an alias."
"She couldn't control other zombies, just support and help them survive the human population that didn't like them. I could stomach a lot of spices when I was still human I think, so I can only assume I'd be ok now, why?"
"Ever had a Carolina Reaper?"
"You've been dying to challenge someone on that haven't you, pun intended."
"What's a Carolina Reaper?" Loki murmured beside me.
"One of the most painfully edible things ever bred," Clint answered for me.
"If it's so painful, why eat it then, food's meant to be enjoyed."
"Some people don't taste the pain, they taste the spice, the heat and that's what they want. So I highly recommend you don't try what I'm about to do. Tony, I accept your challenge...I'd smack you with a gauntlet but this is the 21st century," I replied.
"Why shouldn't I try this reaper, I'm a god you dead creature."
"God or not, you are a Frost Giant and this food is barely edible fire, you will be one of the reasons it's called a reaper and I'm not sure I want to bring you back to life, I only ever resurrect mortals." Tony handed me one of the bright red peppers, a whole one, not something seasoned with a reaper, not a slice, a whole fucking pepper. I took it carefully, touching as little as possible in the event I needed to rub my eyes after this ordeal and examined it curiously. "Well, it was nice knowing you all, Loki, if I don't make it back, avenge me, you have my blessing." I looked Tony in the eyes and took all but the stem and leaves in my mouth before biting down.
"How exactly does this pepper kill someone though?" Loki asked while watching me.
"The spiciness irritates the inside of your mouth so much that it inflames it, causing you to choke and suffocate essentially while you're sweating like you've run a marathon through hell so not only are you essentially becoming dehydrated but you're oxygen is cut off," explained Tony.
I chewed the evil pepper and all at once it was like eating a piece of hell itself, my entire body felt like it was on fire, not just my mouth and I had to shut my eyes to swallow like a frog, my whole body going stiff from the pain, and slammed a fist down on the meeting table before finally getting rid of it in my stomach. "That's a spicy meatball-a," I stated in a horrible Italian accent. "Anyone else wanna try food from hell? Where's Thor, he's always up for doing stupid shit like this."
Loki snorted unceremoniously. "Off playing hero somewhere or making sure his people don't get into more trouble than he does, no doubt. Give me one."
"You can try a slice of Jalapeno before you play with the big guns."
"Are you actually denying the god of mischief some fun?" Clint asked me.
It was my turn to snort. "I've given him more fun in bed than he'd find from anyone else on this planet, what I'm doing is making sure he doesn't die from a dumb challenge. The only thing missing from this redneck fun is someone saying hold my beer."
"That's because my brother is elsewhere," replied Loki. "I'll have your Holopino."
Tony disappeared to the nearest kitchen and then returned with chips and Jalapeno dip with actual slices mixed into the cheesy goodness. "You're not lactose intolerant are you?"
"I highly doubt that's actual cheese and not the processed american cheese most cheese dips here are made of," I noted.
Loki took a chip and pretty much coated the entire piece in the dip then shoved it in his mouth all at once. He didn't break out in a sweat like most weak stomached people would but then maybe Frost Giants don't do that, he also didn't choke or spit it out and managed to swallow the whole thing without complaint though he was a master of lies for a reason, his poker face was second to none. "On the scale of pain, where is the Holopino?"
"It's one of the least spicy peppers this planet has though still pretty spicy. The seeds of any spicy pepper though are what you want to avoid more than the flesh or juice though you don't want the juice either as that shit can get anywhere, people have gone blind because they got the juice on their hands, didn't wash it off well or at all and then rubbed their eyes for whatever reason. Smart people that cook with spicy peppers wear latex gloves, everyone else tempts fate."
"You're worried something spicy and edible could kill me," he mused.
"Everything is edible once," I retorted. "And there's plenty of edible things that can kill anyone, just add poison, hell we eat at least two kinds of poisonous plants without realizing its potential, potatoes and tomatoes are both belladonnas which is the most poisonous plant this planet has."
"How exactly do you know all that about poisons?" Nat asked.
"Like no one else has ever thought about ways to sneak poison into someone's drink before, if you tell me otherwise then you're a liar. There's a song by my favorite band about slipping cleaning solution into someone's coffee."
"No wonder you two are so close, so much potential to do good but so tempted to do otherwise, meant for each other really," Tony mused.
"You say that like it's a bad thing."
"We'll see. Now that I had my initial fun though, back to what I called you all here for. We have ourselves a zombie outbreak...never thought I'd say that, but there's a first time for everything. While I get the feeling you could probably handle zombies on your own, this should still be a team effort for damage control and whatnot so everyone suit up and ship out."
I grinned." You heard him, Autobots, let's roll out!"
"Sometimes you're worse than Peter with the pop culture references," muttered Tony.
"Where is the little bug anyway?"
"At school like the good genius he is, it is a week day after all and no longer summer."
"Wait a sec, it's...the fall?" I asked excitedly.
"...Yes?"
I grinned. "Things are starting to turn up Milhouse."
"Why is it a good thing for it to be autumn?" asked Loki as we made our way to the jet thing.
"I'm strongest during that season."
There were definitely zombies afoot, not a whole lot thankfully which usually meant the rogue necromancer that raised them was either doing something small scale or wasn't that much a threat and didn't have the power to raise a full army. Either way sucks to be them. I hung back in the jet as zombies themselves were super easy to handle, it was just a matter of finding the weasel that got them there and dealing with them. Loki hung back as well as you really didn't need god powers to deal with the walking dead, just something to separate the head from the body. So it was basically Clint, Nat, Tony, and America's Ass knocking heads and taking names.
"You think Thor will be pissed he's not part of the party?" I mused to Loki.
The golden god grinned at the thought of his brother being the whiny baby he knew he was. "He did particularly enjoy a similar situation to this one, fighting off the undead, despite losing our home in the end. He's not needed though so he can bloody deal with it."
"Maybe we shouldn't tell him and pretend like nothing's happened that he'd miss." Our eyes met for a moment before we both grinned wickedly. "Nah." I pressed my com out of curiosity to see how things were going outside. "Found the rogue yet?"
"All I see are dead people," came Clint's response first, causing me to crack up at the quote.
"Ha, it's not just me quoting movies now, Tony, check and mate."
"Clint, don't encourage her," grumbled Tony on the com.
"This is way easier than I expected zombies to be, I feel like I'm in a video game and this is like one of the first few levels," Clint stated.
"If the music changes, get ready for the big boss fight," I warned him.
"Anything we should look for in finding said big boss? Features that sets him apart like with you?" asked Nat.
"Only the more advanced look like death for reasons, I highly doubt this one is so look for the one that stationary or moving at a normal pace and not currently rotting at the same time. The zombies are either a distraction or sentinels so go in the opposite direction as them to find the boss. On that note, can I have a go at whoever it is, they're under my department, I feel like I should take some responsibility for it...adulting and what not."
"If there's anything else after we're done, maybe," Tony answered.
"Sharing is caring."
"Good thing I don't care then."
Another few minutes went by. "You say its easy dealing with zombies yet there's still no progress otherwise, what's going on out there? Has the music changed yet?"
"Still can't find the bastard, even when I switch to heat vision to seek out living from undead it's still all dead things," grumbled Tony. "Are we even sure he's in this area? Maybe this whole thing is a diversion from another place?"
I groaned in frustration and stood up stiffly. "This is taking too long, I'm gonna miss the Farmers Market!" I stormed out of the jet, Loki in tow of course, and walked out into the battlefield, power flowing into my hands before I shot it at every dead body near me still walking that collapsed immediately, the connection from them to their initial power source cut off.
"Nell, what the hell are you doing?" demanded Tony.
"Your job for you, I want a raise after this too." I grabbed hold of a zombie's head without cutting the connection and instead followed the connection to the source while Loki made sure there were no interruptions. "Found em." I cut the connection of that zombie after and had Loki teleport me right to the source which thankfully was still in the area just very well hidden. I let go of Loki's hand from him teleporting us and took a bee line right to the bastard who's back was turned to me. I grabbed him by the head and smashed it against the wall of the building he was hidden in. Thankfully, he was still conscious for me to play with and held his head with a grown before turning around onto his back to face me and the look on his face was just too perfect to post on instagram.
"Nell! Y-you're...you're," he stuttered in terror.
"I'm what?" I growled at him, not wasting any time as I reached down and grabbed him by the shirt, throwing him into another wall and going after him before he could scamper away.
"You're back," he squeaked. "They told me..."
"Who told you?" I demanded, a hand wrapping around his neck tight and holding him hard against the wall behind him.
One hand of his was around the hand around his neck trying to get me off him while I wasn't so blind to not notice the other reaching for something behind his back, a flash of metal telling me exactly what he was planning and even before Loki would take out his own blades, I caught his free hand that held a certain lethal dagger and broke his wrist while my nails dug into his neck so he couldn't catch his dagger as it dropped. I kicked it away from both of us. "You know who I am, then you know what your options are now. Who told you?"
Both his hands were now trying to pry my one off him and I only gave him enough air to speak and not die just yet. "We're either the hunted or the hunters, that's what they told me. They told me your head would be mounted on a wall when they caught you."
I pulled him from the wall only to slam him back against it in rage, he was working for the people, helping them hunt the rest of us, that caught me. "How did they find me?"
"I don't know!" he croaked.
"Try again." Another slam against the wall.
"I swear I don't know! I was told about you after it had already happened!"
"Nell," Steve of all people said suddenly behind me. "He's more useful to us alive."
"I disagree," I growled. "The dead are so much more cooperative."
A new level of fear filled the traitor's face, he definitely knew what his options were now. He looked past me to Loki who was simply watching the whole scene play out without a word or a motion otherwise then to Steve. "Help me! Please!"
"He's not in the business of helping people he's been trying to shut down his entire life," I reminded him coldly.
"Loki, can't you stop this?" Steve asked him.
"I am not her commander nor master, I do not as you would say, call the shots."
"Nell, drop him," Nat came in saying. "I know what you're feeling, I know what you've been through, this isn't the way to handle it."
I vaguely wondered what would happen if I killed the rat in my grasp, would the Avengers come at me, kick me out of the compound? Would I be their next mission? Would Loki come with me or stay with them? That last one got my attention and I glanced back at Loki then and our eyes met. "You aren't my master, but I still need you."
Loki was silent for a moment, taking in the hidden message I hoped his caught from that statement. It probably wasn't fair to make him choose between the ones he had probably sworn to team up with, and some dead chick he just met and banged a bunch but I needed to know who I could trust when my own people were turning on me. "And you have me," he finally responded.
I relaxed the smallest bit at the answer and was about to finish off my prey before Tony in all his armored glory burst in from the ceiling, his iron mask off so he was legit staring me down with his blaster hands poised. "You want answers from him as much as we do, right? We can get more out of him alive when all his nerve endings are still working. I don't want you to be our next big enemy here but if you kill him, you will be, and Hydra will be the least of your worries."
While the threat was barely accurate considering Hydra had more intel than Tony did on us and had a lot more minions to give the intel to, I really didn't want more enemies than I already had. I grumbled in annoyance and threw the rat to Tony then before picking up the dagger that had threatened to kill me for good and examined it, Loki stepping over to me and eyeing the blade curiously. "Did you mean that?" I asked.
"I might be known as the Lord of Lies but I always keep my word."
The rat was grabbed by Tony and surrounded by the other Avengers who guarded and guided him out of the building, Loki and myself taking the tail end. The second the rat stepped outside however, he crumbled with a bullethole in his skull, a larger one as small bullets don't always do the trick with death mages. Clint took out the Hydra sniper instantly without a second thought but the prisoner was already dead. I cackled when Nat took his nonexistent pulse at the pure irony of the situation. "You see what happens, the universe always provides. You had your chance, now it's my turn. You might wanna take the body back first before they actively try to keep it from rising again though."
Tony just frowned at my reaction and shook his head. "You are a piece of work, you know that?"
I grinned and shrugged. "Thought you liked a challenge?"
He just shook his head again. "Not even Loki was this chaotic when he first joined us."
"That's because you forced contraptions on me that dampened my powers till I behaved like you wanted," Loki retorted dryly.
"You put a fucking bark collar on him? He's a god, not a dog, you dyslexic dildo!"
"Whoa, easy there, Night Queen, this is the same guy that tried to take NYC some years back."
I snorted. "Fuck NYC, their sports teams suck and so do they."
Loki took my hand in his and I felt calm suddenly and glanced over at him questionably. "You don't have to defend me, you know?"
"Yeah well, I got my vengeance stolen by the universe just now and nowhere else to direct my rage, so sue me."
"The universe doesn't steal, it takes what belongs to it, therefore you weren't meant to kill him so relax for now," he argued.
I frowned at the questionable but near flawless logic and grumbled under my breath. "Stupid sexy Frost Giant."

Why I Watched It: Well I’ve seen all of the Predator movies and the two versus Alien so why the hell not.
How I Watched It: Netflix Canada
Random Thoughts: Bad poster by the way and lazy ass tagline. 
Here’s a little fun fact when I first watched The Predator the IMDB score was 6.0 now as I’m doing the review it’s down to 5.3.
This is one of those films where the buzz and reviews were so bad I waited till it came to a service I had to see it and even then I was like maybe not.  The funny thing was when i first saw the trailer and heard about it I was kind of excited, Shane Black coming back to the franchise, he co-wrote and was in the first one.  So I was hyped but then the reviews came in and you can see the public didn’t care for it much either.
I’ll touch on this in my review but I wanted to talk about Boyd Holbrook a bit, I’ve seen like four of five of his movies and it really seemed like the powers that be were pushing him to leading man status and I’ve always found this funny cause you can’t force something and also all the movies I’ve seen him in were either alright or mediocre and he didn’t stand out, also with that being said if I’ve seen him that much it would mean he’s done a lot of genre.  I bring this up cause when I saw he was the lead I thought maybe this is the one that breaks him out, not really.
What I Liked: I’ll just say this now, I didn’t mind this and no it’s not very good.  I tend to be a light touch with genre films as long as they don’t annoy or bore me, this film did neither.  I will say I do thing this has killed the franchise for now, it’s tired pure and simple.  I did like the cast for the most part, I’m a huge Thomas Jnae fan so it was cool seeing him in a non straight to streaming movie and I liked his work with Keegan-Michael Key.  I really liked Trevante Rhodes and he should have been the lead. I liked Olivia Munn’s performance cause you could tell her character was like WTF and she seemed to ground the movie in a way.
The action and the banter were fine and the film moved well right up till end where I thought it bogged down.  Is this a great/good Predator movie, not really but it was watchable and it didn’t piss me off.
What I didn’t Like: Not going to argue this is a bit of a mess, the tone was way off and I blame Shane Black, you look at Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and The Nice Guys there’s violent but fun movies there was banter and jokes at times and even though it could be harsh they were quirky and the characters were likable.  Here not so much, he got the tone wrong right off the bat, he also tried to make mental illness into a quirk and that’s just tone deaf and also I don’t think he actually had a hook for this movie.  This movie felt like he did a Predator movie but wasn’t passionate about it.  The action worked and some of the actors made their very thinly written characters work but by the end you were left with “what’s the point”.  The plot is dumb to be honest and it didn’t help that some of the actors clearly didn’t have a handle on their roles, Boyd Holbrook is very bland in this and he looks bored to be honest.  Poor Jacob Tremblay is lost here and Sterling K Brown seems like h’s stuck with a cliched character and they tried to make him funny, mean, cold hearted and a little meta and all of it made a very uneven performance.  
I honestly thought the movie was decent until the end where it just goes on forever and you can tell the film is running on fumes by the finale.  It dragged on and I didn’t care, none of the characters that survived were that interesting and the whole thing just felt very uninspired.
Final Thoughts: Not a great movie but I didn’t mind it.
Rating: 5.5/10 I was going to give it a 6 but the ending pushed it down but I do think it’s better than a five so 5.5 is what it is.
