Musician Age Gap AU Pt 4

Dropping Esme off at home turns into more than just a simple kiss and ride. She parks and walks Esme to the front door. The tears had petered out halfway home, but it had left Esme shaky and exhausted. And when Alex opens the door to welcome them home, she can barely get out a "how was it?" before Esme bursts into fresh tears and darts up the stairs to her bedroom.

Alex watches her daughter go, then turns back to Kara with an accusatory look. Kara sighs. "It's a long story."

"I'll put the kettle on."

Over tea, Kara gives her sister the rundown of the evening-- omitting certain bits of her own exhanges with Lena. By the end, Alex is stunned, but heartbroken for her daughter.

"The highest of highs, and lowest of lows," Alex moans. "I was already going to call her out of school tomorrow, but now I really need to."

Kara nods. "I hope she'll remember the night more for what actually happened than the fact she lost the pictures of it. She really did have a good time, til she realized."

"What a night," Alex sighs. "Well, thank you for stepping in. I know she appreciated the time with you, in any case."

"Yeah," Kara nods. "Me too."

"You should come over more. She's not the only one who misses you."

"Alex..."

"You're not the only busy, I get that, but it sucks being the only one to reach out."

Kara closes her eyes. They've had variations of this conversation before, but it didn't make it any easier to hear. It's been busy lately, the last few years. And she knows she's missing out on key times with Esme, but... she's never been very good at juggling.

"I know." Then, "I should go. I'll call the venue in the morning, see if maybe one of the cleaning crew finds the phone and turns it in to lost and found or something."

All Alex can do is nod. "Thanks."

All thoughts of the ticket in her pocket disappears until the next day. Her calls to the arena have been fruitless-- no one had found anything, and no amount of cajoling or bribery could make them devote manpower to look for it. So when she's emptying her pockets to run a load of laundry, she's so frustrated she's willing to chuck it into the sun.

Until she sees a loop of a swoopy letter written on it, half hidden by a folded crease. Puzzled, Kara smooths it out and flips it over-- and finds a phone number written across its face in silver sharpie.

Stunned, Kara stares at the offending digits.

"What the fuck?"

---

It's probably her manager, Kara reasons. Or her assistant, at the very least. But when she punches the number into her phone, driven by the echo of her promise to Esme in her ears, she instantly recognizes the voice that answers.

"Hello?"

Kara's mouth goes dry. "Uhhhhhh.... hi? Shit. I mean--"

"I'm glad you called," Lena interrupts smoothly. "I have a phone here that's sorely missing its owner."

"Oh thank god," Kara releases with a heavy sigh. "Thank you."

"Sorry we weren't able to catch you before you left. I didn't see it until late."

"Esme was heartbroken," Kara tells her, unnecessarily. "You've saved a life."

"Her life? Or yours?" There's a tease in Lena's voice.

Kara grins. "Both. Definitely both."

A chuckle rumbles across the line. "Well, how can we get this to you?"

"Oh, if you could ship it..."

"No need," Lena says simply. "We're in town for another day or so. Is there a place we can deliver it?"

Kara blinks, surprised. "Um, sure. I'll be at my office in an hour."

"Perfect."

Kara rattles off the address to her, then books it to the office, determined not to miss the delivery. She stays on edge for the first hour, but soon finds herself distracted by her work-- until her assistant knocks tentatively on her door before poking her head in.

One look at Eve's baffled and somewhat dazed expression sends a bolt of electricity down Kara's spine.

"Miss Danvers? Um... there's someone here to see you. She-- she says its a personal delivery?"

Kara is already on her feet. "I'll take care of it. Thank you, Eve."

"It's--"

"I know," Kara assures her.

"You... know her?"

Kara sighs. "It's complicated."

She makes her way to the lobby, finding Lena Luthor leaning casually against the front desk, completely unbothered by the gazes peeking at her from between frosted sections of the glass walls.

"If you'd have told me you planned to bring it yourself, I would've given you a different address," Kara says drolly. Lena looks up at her with a puckish grin. "You're about to give the entire office an aneurysm."

"Sorry, not sorry." Entirely unapologetic, Lena straightens, pushing softly away from the desk to face Kara directly.

Kara folds her arms across her chest, unable to help the smile spreading across her own features. Lena lifts an eyebrow, retrieving Esme's phone from her back pocket to waggle it teasingly.

"Thank you...." Kara reaches for it, only for Lena to tilt it out of reach. Kara rolls her eyes. "What?"

"I'm... gonna be honest," Lena drags out, smirking. "I didn't come here with truly altruistic purposes."

Kara resettles her weight, cocking one hip. "This is becoming a pattern with you, Miss Luthor."

"I'm only human, you know." She taps Esme's phone on her chin. "And I'm not above taking a teenager's phone hostage, if it gets me a coffee with a gorgeous woman."

Bold. Entirely *too* bold. But Kara can't quite bring herself to mind.

"You have me at a disadvantage," she returns. "I really need that phone."

"Then a coffee with a charming lady seems to be in your very near future."

Kara rolls her eyes. "Let me grab my purse."

Lena waits patiently, and Kara doesn't bother pausing to explain a damn thing to anyone. It's none of their business, and right now she's a woman on a mission.

To get her goddaughter's phone.

And absolutely nothing else.

Kind of adding onto my last post about the forest.

Does anyone else think of how little we actually know about David? Like. Almost nothing?

We've seen the parents/guardians of 9 campers. We've had mentions of Max's parents to give us an idea of them.

We've met Gwen's dad. We know who CJ's dad is. We've met QUARTERMASTER'S SISTER. Mr Campbell has described his parents before.

David? Nothing. Family wise, We know that he never had a father. And he had a dog when he was a kid.

Someone could look at David and go "ooh he's a mama's boy!" But we have nothing on that. No mention, no reference to her. No "i miss my mom :(".

Max is similar in the fact that we know little about him. Which is something i find interesting.

Right now, all (or what i can remember) that we know about his life outside of camp is:

-never had a dad

-had a dog as a kid

-went to clown school in Paris

-likely an atheist

-uhhhhhh

-worked at the cheesecake factory maybe??

-????

Gempearleo for the theme because I'm ✨addicted✨

After playing Pearldle for the first time, Gem finds a shoulder box in the mail that says "Congratulations! You were the 10th person to play Pearldle!" Inside are also some flowers from Pearl's shop. Gem is a bit confused, since that's a pretty low number to celebrate. But free decorations, she's not gonna complain!

The same thing happens to Cleo. "Congratulations! You were the 15th person to play Pearldle!" With flowers. Alright, maybe Pearl just wants to encourage people to play. Cleo's never been a big fan of flowers but they throw them in a vase with some water and call it a day.

But it doesn't stop there.

No.

Pearl has become a menace.

Almost everyday it's a new number with new flowers, they start to REALLY get suspicious when it says "Congratulations! You're the 47th person to play Pearldle" with roses.

Gem and Cleo mention it to other hermits, expecting that Pearl just had too many flowers and is doing this to everyone...no one knows what they're talking about.

Eventually Gem and Cleo talk to each other about it and...

"At this point I'd rather she take more pickles!"

"I know! At first it was nice but I can't keep all of these flowers alive!"

"Why do you think it's just us?"

"You mean you haven't figured it out yet, Gem?"

"What do you mean?"

"...oh, look who's coming over"

Pearl walks up to them, looking exhausted.

"Hello Pearl, you alright? You're covered in dirt"

"Yeah, fine. I'm fine."

"When was the last time you SLEPT?!"

"Uhhhhhh"

"Bed, now."

"What? But I'm all dirty!"

"Then how about we give you a bath first"

Pearl's face turns beet red, she looks up at Cleo and Gem standing over her, in shock. Gem whips her head to glare at Cleo, horrified that they'd even ask that (especially to Gem's crush).

"Uh-I-well-um-I"

"Aw, we broke the Pearl"

"YOU broke the Pearl. What was that for?!"

"She's been flirting with us for months! That's what the flowers were, Gem. I figured you'd get it after the roses."

"...Pearl?"

"Yeah, I was...do you like me back?"

"...come on, you're disgusting, let's get you cleaned up, what were you even doing?"

"Is that a yes?! And I was...getting more flowers"

"Of course it's a yes, come on"

"You two are adorable"

The fact that Pearl almost passes out in the bath... Yeah, she can learn to flirt in ways other than far too many flowers from now on! Even if she is very cute whilst sleeping.

yeah i’ll take a fuckin uhhhhhh

catboy lance and fernando. whatever you want with them gimme kitty cat

800 followers celebration

i'm not exactly sure what this is 😭😭 theyre ex bfs and its kinda angsty but.. kitty lance!!

It was supposed to be just another race weekend. Absurdly hot, sure, but Lance had driven in worse. He knew how to deal with the blistering temperatures, how to keep his focus sharp even as the sun bore down on the circuit. He’d done it countless times before. Yet, for reasons he couldn’t explain, this weekend had started differently. When he woke up that morning, drenched in sweat and burning up, he chalked it up to the heat. Maybe dehydration. Maybe overexertion.

But the fever wasn’t the end of it. The moment he sat up in bed, disoriented and groggy, he noticed something… wrong. At first, he thought he was hallucinating. His ears felt off, overly sensitive to even the faintest sounds. And then there was the movement—an alien sensation against the mattress. He turned, horrified, to see the slim, swishing tail now attached to him.

Lance had never been one for dramatics, but that morning, he came close to losing it. He paced his hotel room, frantic, running through every logical explanation he could muster. None of them fit. By the time Fernando came knocking, curious about why Lance hadn’t shown up for the team briefing, Lance was a mess. He tried to play it cool at first, yelling through the door that he wasn’t feeling well, but Fernando wasn’t the type to leave things alone.

“You’re not skipping out on today,” Fernando’s voice called through the door. “Open up.”

Reluctantly — after a heated back-and-forth and a round of interrogation that left him with no excuses left — Lance gave in. He unlocked the door and stepped back, bracing himself for whatever reaction Fernando might have.

Fernando froze in the doorway, his eyes narrowing as they swept over Lance. For a moment, there was nothing but stunned silence. Then, slowly, a smirk curled at the corner of his lips.

Lance wasn’t sure what unsettled him more — the fact that he now had a tail or that Fernando wasn’t freaking out. The older driver was taking it all far too well, leaning back with his arms crossed, that infuriating smirk never leaving his face. For someone who was supposed to be a rival, a constant thorn in his side since their less than amicable breakup when Fernando left the sport, Fernando looked a little too comfortable standing in his hotel room, watching Lance like he was some kind of amusing curiosity.

“Well?” Fernando prompted after a moment, raising an eyebrow. “You going to explain this, or are we just going to stand here pretending this is normal?”

Lance scowled. “Like I know what’s going on,” he snapped, his voice sharper than he intended. The irritation was easier to cling to than the panic bubbling beneath the surface. “I woke up like this, okay? I don’t know why it’s happening, I don’t know how to fix it, and I definitely don’t need your commentary.”

Fernando tilted his head, regarding Lance with a mixture of curiosity and amusement. “Touchy, aren’t we?” he said, his tone light but his gaze piercing. “Fine. You don’t know. But you’ve got to admit, it’s… fascinating.”

“Fascinating?” Lance repeated, incredulous. “I’m growing fucking animal parts, Alonso, and you think it’s fascinating?”

Fernando shrugged, unfazed. “I’ve seen weirder things.” He paused, tapping a finger to his chin as if in thought. “Actually, no. This might top the list.”

Lance groaned, dragging a hand down his face. His fevered skin was damp with sweat, and his nerves were frayed beyond belief. The last thing he needed was Fernando of all people treating this like some kind of joke. “Why are you even still here?” he muttered. “Shouldn’t you be off doing… whatever it is you do to prepare for a race?”

Fernando straightened, his smirk fading into something more neutral. “Because,” he said simply, “you clearly can’t handle this on your own.”

Lance blinked, caught off guard. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

“It means,” Fernando said, stepping closer, “that whatever’s happening to you isn’t just going to go away. And unless you want the entire paddock finding out about your… condition, you’re going to need someone to help you keep it under wraps.”

Lance opened his mouth to argue, but the words died on his tongue. As much as he hated to admit it, Fernando wasn’t wrong. There was no way he could face the media or the team like this, not without drawing attention to himself. And as much as he disliked Fernando, the older driver was annoyingly good at keeping secrets when it suited him.

“Fine,” Lance said grudgingly. “But this doesn’t mean I trust you.”

Fernando’s smirk returned, wider this time. “Wouldn’t dream of it, Lancito.”

The nickname grated on Lance’s nerves, but he let it slide. For now. “If you’re going to stick around, at least try to be useful,” he muttered. “Help me figure out how to hide this.”

Fernando’s eyes sparkled with barely contained laughter. “Hide it? What, you want me to get you a hat for those ears? Maybe a leash for the tail?”

Lance shot him a withering glare. “You’re not helping.”

“Alright, alright.” Fernando held up his hands in mock surrender, though the grin never left his face. “We’ll figure something out. But you owe me for this.”

“Owe you?” Lance scoffed. “I didn’t ask for your help.”

“No,” Fernando agreed, his tone deceptively casual. “But you need it. And I’m not exactly in the habit of doing favors for free. Especially not for you.”

Lance clenched his jaw, his ears falling flat against his head as the words sank in. The heat in his cheeks wasn’t just from the fever now; it was shame, anger, and something deeper, something raw that he couldn’t quite name. It was embarrassing enough to be standing there with a tail and ears, like some kind of cursed cartoon character, but Fernando’s casual cruelty twisted the knife.

God, it hurt.

Fernando hadn't always spoken to him like that — with that razor-edged humor, it began when Fernando decided he was done with Formula 1, done with Lance, but it continued even after the Spaniard returned. Usually, Lance could shrug it off, meet Fernando’s jabs with one of his own. But today? Today, when he already felt like he was barely holding it together, it cut deeper than he wanted to admit.

“Right,” Lance muttered, his voice tight. He turned away, hoping Fernando wouldn’t notice the way his shoulders sagged. “Should’ve figured.”

There was a pause, long enough for Lance to feel the weight of it pressing down on him. He didn’t know what he expected — an apology? A softer word? This was Fernando, after all. He wasn’t exactly known for his kindness.

“Lance,” Fernando said at last, his voice quieter now.

Lance didn’t turn around. “What?”

Another pause. Then, “I didn’t mean it like that.”

Lance snorted, his bushy tail flicking sharply behind him. “Sure you didn’t.”

Fernando sighed, the sound heavy and just a little frustrated. “I’m trying to help you,” he said, and there was something different in his tone now. Less teasing, more… sincere? Or at least as close to sincere as Fernando ever got. “I’m not good at this kind of thing, alright? But I’m here, aren’t I?”

Lance hesitated, glancing over his shoulder. Fernando stood there with his arms crossed, his expression unreadable, though his eyes seemed softer somehow. It was a strange sight — Fernando Alonso looking almost… apologetic.

“Yeah, you’re here,” Lance said finally, his voice low. “But you don’t have to make me feel like shit about it.”

Fernando’s lips twitched, almost like he wanted to smile but thought better of it. “Fair enough,” he said. “I’ll try to dial it back. Alright?”

Lance rolled his eyes, but he felt a tiny bit of the tension in his chest ease. It wasn’t much, but it was something.

“Fine,” Lance muttered. “Let’s just get this over with.”

“Atta boy, Lancito,” Fernando said, his smirk creeping back. “Now, about that tail — think you can keep it still for five minutes, or should we get you a distraction?”

“Fernando.”

“Alright, alright.” Fernando held up his hands in mock surrender, but his grin didn’t waver. “I’ll behave.”

Lance shook his head, the corners of his mouth twitching despite himself. It was going to be a long day.

[dedalvs]

ive done a lot of translating to high valyrian in my day and id like to think im pretty good at it sometimes (the way ive spent literal hours researching how just one piece of grammar works to change a noun to an adverb or something is maybe insane)

anyway all that to say i usually know what to look for and how to apply it, but i am struggling with this new bit im trying to translate. “i disdain all glittering gold.”

ive replaced disdain with hate cause there doesnt seem to be a word for disdain in valyrian and hate is the closest approximation. same with glittering — replaced that with shine, and had to manually transform that to an adjective (jehikagon -> jehikere? dunno if its right)

so what i have now is “nyke buqan unir jehikere aeksion”

(im not as concerned with getting the word order right as i am with the rest of the grammar)

ive learned from a previous answer “nyke” is potentially (probably) unnecessary here, so that leaves it as “buqan unir jehikere aeksion,” but the unir there in the middle kinda makes it feel off and im not sure if maybe that also needs to be part of a compound word like valar or how to make it one if so because idk what part of valar is all and what part is men and how to fit aeksion into that equation.

i lost track of what my question was originally meant to be but i guess im wondering if im on the right track and if theres some guidance you may have to get me all the way there.

thank you for your time 🙏

Uhhhhhh... Not to be that dude, but...maybe be more concerned with that...?

I'm not sure if you know about this site, but my wiki is exhaustively updated with respect to High Valyrian, specifically. There's a team of people that work on High Valyrian and it's massive. For example, you could go to the entry for jehikagon and see that jehikere is wrong: it should be jehikare. And, of course, it has to agree with āeksion (note the long ā), so it should be jehikarior. To get the sense of repetitiveness (with "glittering"), you might add ā- to the front, so ājehikarior.

Now for "all", why not use the collective? This is how you get "All men must die", so it should work for "I distain all glittering gold". That would be āeksior. Of course, it would need to be in the accusative, so altogether it would be ājehikarior āeksȳndi. By adding the repetitive you kind of get the aliteration, too, since they both begin with ā.

Finally you have "disdain", for which buqagon serves. Aside from sound a little more posh, the difference between "disdain" and "hate" in English seems to be one of duration. The words "disdain" and "loathe" seem to emphasize that this is a character trait rather than a reaction. If you disdain something, you've given it some thought, have experience with it, and may use this as a way of describing or characterizing yourself. You can do this with "hate" as well, but it's a much more common word, and so can be used in other more basic ways, whereas "disdain" and "loathe" tend to only have specalized uses. To try to approximate this, you could use the frequentative with buqagon to imply a lengthy duration. That would give you jobuqan "I disdain". In fact, you could even use the aorist if you really wanted to imply that it was a description of yourself, i.e. jobuqin.

Now that you have the pieces, though, I really hate to say it, but the words must be in the right order. I mean, you can change the order of the noun and adjective, if you'd like, but you simply cannot put the verb first and think you've created a Valyrian sentence. It's not just "kind of" wrong: it's completely wrong. It'd be like suggesting "I him saw" is close enough in English because the forms are correct. It's not. It's wrong. This is not a minor part of the grammar you can ignore. High Valyrian is aggressively verb-final. The verb must be at the end.

All in all, that gives you:

Ājehikarior āeksȳndi jobuqin.

Hope that helps!

Vanny's interactions with Jack and Dave

If i wrote an interaction between them (before you ask: no, i do not ship her with either of them) i'd have her act as a "younger sibling that you're forced to bring along with you" type character.

'Nessa would probably join one of Dave's schemes cause "sounds fun, why not" (he didn't even approach her or something, she just decided on her own to become a part of it).

Jack is fed up/tired of these 2 the whole way through but he keeps it to himself and endures their mischiefs; Meanwhile, Aubergine Man is initially against bringing her along ("it would be gay to have a woman on the team", as Doggy Daddy himself put as Ourply man justification). 10 minutes latter he goes "nvm i take it back" since he quickly gets overly attached to people who are friendly towards him.

Even before Henry he was likes this: it stems from the fact that he was uncared and unloved during his entire childhood and most of his teen years, only having TWO (now three) people in his life that moderately berated him; OF COURSE he'd cling to any sort of positive interaction he had with them.

Obviously, he won't be desperately clingy towards Van like he is with Jack or Henry, it would be someone he somewhat cares about but not by much, a middle ground between the two extremes of Eggplant Man's interactions: He either unconditionally cares about someone or couldn't give a shit if they died, and this would be an unique exception:

Between "All of this is for you, I will stalk you for as long as i can walk on this planet" and "Peter can go fuck himself" there's "Yeah she's cool she fly-kicked the plastic gremlin as a distraction while i lured the kids, awesome".

So basically she partially distracts him from how lonely he truly is, and he appreciates that, but it's FAR from enough, he NEEDS Jack and Henry's to feel complete company.

Davey's care-o-meter: Henry>>>Jack>>>>>>>>>>Vanny>>>anyone else>>>>>>>>>Matt

On the other hand: Jack.

If he sides with them (that's the general assumption) i like to think he'd have to basically babysit her so that she doesn't turn Chica into a shrapnel bomb or something (plus the idea of a zombie having to babysit a grown ass woman on her 20s is hilarious).

He does not want to do this AT ALL but he'd do it for her own safety, for Toy Freddy's shins sake.

I could see him snapping and lashing out on her if she pisses him off enough, maybe beating her up depending on route (Legacy 100% bitchslaps her here, Neutral would have a misogynistic meltdown and get cancelled) but the more reasonable Jacks would at most just yell/cuss at her.

Y'all ever watched a movie with the "tired babysitter" trope? Yeah, it would be them, except the demonic child is on enough crack to kill 3 (fast)bears.

In a way, he's kinda being forced into a older brother role again so you could draw parallels to his relationship with Dee aswell as evidencing how he was affected by her death, making it pretty clear how devastated and broken he is now. He just can't do it anymore. He can't care anymore.

Anyways that was a lot so uhhhhhh- bye?

[urproblematicfav-arsonk]

SO ITS MY DICK BIRTHDAY yayy I have typical sexual organs now. Rip, I'm not special anymore but what can ya do

The cookies came out kinda weird, burnt a dick pretty bad, but the pussies are surprisingly well put together. I didn't have any extra cookie stuff to make a shork with a fat vagina so rip me I guess. And then my shitty cheesecake with a giant chocolate dick. I spent so much money on all these things lmao.

SO its tmi time babey. The following is an unnecessarily graphic documentation of me trying to figure what the fuck is going on with my clit that popped out of my lower pelvis area after not having one for 22 years

So up until about may 14ish of 2024, I did not have a clitoris. And by that, I mean I had a clitoral hood but there was nothing in there. Along with no clitoral shaft, or just like, anything outside of skin. I can say for sure this isn't something that happened later in life, and that I was definitely born like this because I've been uhhhhhh poking around down there since I was about 4. We lived in the country and had a lot of animals so the second I saw live birth I was like "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN BABIES COME OUT OF THIS???" And basically would poke at in fascinated horror.

Anyway. My mom sorta refuses to agree that I didn't have a clit because she thinks she would've noticed that when I was a baby. But clearly you didn't.

For literally as long as I can remember (which is again, like 4) arousal has caused me moderate to severe pain in my lower abdomen. When I got older and was starting actually understand sex, everything I read/was told(cuz I did try to explain my discomfort and get answers from my mom) was that cumming felt like "tension" in your tummy/waist area, so I just assumed that in the many ways that I already am that I was broken and didn't like the thing everyone else liked.

Touching that whole section of my body hurt VERY BAD. Like, any amount of contact hurt. If I wore shorts too tight and it rubbed against me I was sore and hurting all day. I actually used to not wipe as a kid because it hurt so bad. (Honestly, the fact that I regularly complained about my vagina and insides hurting as a VERY YOUNG CHILD and not a single adult in my life thought that was worth looking into is kinda horrific. Especially considering the people I was around, and the fact that they KNEW I was around them.)

I didn't have a shaft, but I think I might have had a blood vessel, or like?? A tendon?? Idk what to call it but there was a very thin bit of internal structure that feels similar to the stuff in my wrist. That felt weird to touch. I wouldn't say it was "good", because it wasn't. But it was probably the closest I ever got to typical masturbation options. Not that I ever did it because it was uncomfortable and pointless.

I spent my teen years in a lot of physical pain, and embarrassment over this. I won't get into it just cuz this is about my dick not my childhood trauma, but I was very isolated and uhhhh horrifically robbed of adolescence and not being able to experience the Normal, and Completely Universal experience of masterbating as a teenager just felt like another part of my childhood being taken away from me. Or never given in the first place, I guess.

I never really opened up about it because the reaction I always got was "oh you're just doing it wrong. Do it the right way, and you'll be fine." And I'm sitting here like......I'm trying.....seriously I promise that I'm trying to do it in the Normal Way. But it never worked and I'd get upset and drop the subject. I think I've only really personally talked to maybe 3 people in my life about this.

Basically what I'd do it try to jerk off, go "that sucks" and forget about it for a few years and then try again, and cycle repeat.

And then all of a fucking sudden, my bits start hurting at work, and I go to the bathroom to try and like, wiggle my skin around because that sometimes helps the pain. ONLY TO FIND. A FUCKING LIL NUBBY GUY IN THERE.

I was sitting there, holding my pussy open in the bathroom stall like, "oh shit what the fuck is that????" ITS A FUCKINGJIFJGVJ CLIT whoo. Obvi, couldn't deal with that at work. But when I got home I went-ainvestigating.

The reason why I didn't realize I didn't have a clit is because 1: theres literally an entire section of the pussy wiki about how its not real. And I understand thats just a sexist bullshit thing but having that in the back of my head didn't help. And 2: most clits are fairly small and come in different sizes. I always assumed mine was just really tiny or something.

It was actually kinda gross, looking back now that I have one. Like....I just had an empty sack of skin with a open hole in it. That's so weird. Rip me not fucking tho, I could've bullied so many men because good luck finding the clit WHEN ITS NOT EVEN THERE.

So the thing that really freaked me out about SUDDENLY HAVING SEX ORGANS, was specifically the fact that it was bleeding. Not severely. But the skin around the hood was bloody, and it hurt pretty bad.

I did jerk off tho, even tho IT HURT. But I'd never in my life experienced anything resembling physical gratification so I was invested in Figuring This Shit Out Immediately.

I tried to tell my mom, because again, I was bleeding from my clit and genuinely so fucking scared and my mom called me "gross" for talking about masturbation and literally ran out of the house and didn't talk to me for about 4 days. (This is the same woman who told me how she lost her anal virginity on a air hockey table as a fun fact story time when I was 7. But sure. My medical emergency is just me being super gross and inappropriate.)

The next day, the pain got worse and the mild bleeding was still going on. And now, the clitoral shaft was starting to swell pretty severely. I didn't measure, and I have no real sense of scale cuz I'm stupid. But it got to about the width of my pointer and middle finger combined, and the thickness of about one finger. It was VERY uncomfortable and I was limping all day. But also like?? Felt sexually gratifying??? I think the swelling was almost internally stimulating. Idk. It was more uncomfortable than pleasurable.

I kinda just cried and panic googled for 2 days. Googles suggestion was that I have endo and cancer. Which like, maybe. Nothing was in line with my experience and it was largely useless.

By the time I went back to work the swelling had gone down and I was mostly fine walking. It was definitely very fucking sore and I had to be careful letting my thighs touch because ow. But it was fine.

And then soon after I started trying to jerk off and play catch up as a late bloomer(literally). For the first 3 months, I'd have heart palpitations after orgasms, and would feel extremely dizzy and sick the day after. This eventually went away, and I only get dizzy if I cum REALLY HARD instead of just any time after stimulation. Again, very scary and worrying but whatever. I think my body just needed to recalibrate and settle down with the new system.

I won't go graphic in the jerking off part, cuz this is more about my Weird Clit, but it's still like...uncomfortable even though its normal now. I think its just really sensitive or something, but touching it with my hands isn't exactly good and it takes like 3 hours for me to cum manually (which is what I'm calling non vibe based masturbation) I can't for the fuck of me tell you how this works out because I bought a $60 suction toy that has literally left my foreskin BRUISED and I'm having a great time, but I rub it with my finger and I'm like :(((( owie it doesn't feel good. Idk what the fucking logic is here.

Internal stimulation has never felt like anything to me. No amount of rubbing or curling my fingers did literally anything. It just felt like touching wet skin with the same sensitivity as like, my arm. NOW MY CERVIX ON THE OTHER HAND-

Anyway, this is another thing I think was somehow affected by my clit popping out for some reason. Because now it does feel like something? Its actually incredibly jarring. It's like if you touched you arm every day and felt nothing and then randomly you touched it and it felt like rubbing a nerve. Very weird. Fingers still do fuck all. The only way it feels "good" or "pleasurable" or whatever the fuck is if it's big enough to cause me a least a mild amount of pain. Masochism size queen goalllllsss.

Predick, the only orgasm I ever had was me bashing the fuck out of my cervix for about 40ish minutes straight, which didn't even feel good until I came. It freaked me the fuck out. I really didn't like how my vaginal muscles relaxes and I couldn't be tenses up. And I think I could literally feel my cervix dilate a little. It was very psychologically distressing and I cried after, and it didn't even feel good. Also it hurt my wrist.

I'm more normal about this now and I don't cry cuz it scares me anymore. I will say, that because I couldn't cum, and my clit was hiding, the only thing I could to deal with my physical frustration was essentially to tense the fuck out of my genitalia, and relax over and over. So I think I've been doing kegals semi regularly for the last decade or so. My pussy game is probably crazy not that I'm letting anyone in there.

I'm not exactly sure how this is connected, but predick if I was on my period and tried to do penetration, it wouldn't work because my vaginal canal was almost completely swollen up. I've had like, maybe 6 periods since my dick popped out(covid fucked my cycle) and I haven't had any internal swelling issues since.

My pussy also used to be stop sign red, and now is a more normal pink color. I wonder if maybe the lack of typical blood flow was causing issues, like a kinked up water hose kind of thing.

I think having my clit in the correct spot as basically allowed my body to relax and have a normal amount of sensitivity.

The on going theory I have for why arousal was causing me so much pain/discomfort, is because I think my clit was lodged somewhere with my other organs in my lower pelvis. Actually, I've come to associate really needing to pee with arousal, because the second I felt ANYTHING like that, I'd immediately need to go. Another thing I thought was normal because idk...like, squirting and also people saying you should pee after sex. I thought everything felt like that after and it was just part of the process. But my idea is that I think when my clit was getting engorged with arousal/blood flow, it was crushed and squished in the wrong spot and thus swelling and putting pressure on parts of my body that aren't supposed to ever be squished unless I'm like, fucking pregnant or have a tumor something.

I still kinda associate needing to piss with cumming?? Its easier to cum if I haven't gone first. I think my brain just thinks those two are the same kind of build up now cuz of how log those wires were crossed and fucked up. I don't identify as a piss kink person though. Stilllllll hate fluids.

And on top of all of that, I also have an atypical urethra!!!! Mine is located right above my vaginal opening, and is actually kinda apart of my thick ass g-spot(or whatever it is) pad that's practically obscuring my whole hole. I have accidentally sounded myself twice. I am in such a Wrong Hole situation. Its fine tho, it's definitely sensitive.

SO along with my dick popping out, I also got a noticeable boost in testosterone!!!

I noticed this the most with my eyebrows. I was made fun of a lot(by my parents??) for having really thin and barely there eyebrows my whole life. And then all of a sudden, I have to actually shave them off or really work to cover them if I want to do sfx makeup. Which wasn't a thing when I was 12. I have chest hair. Kinda. Not really? I have visible peach fuzz that I actually think is really cute. I have a LOT more viable peach fuzz on my upper lip, like a few full on hairs. Its not super distracting. I doubt other people really would notice unless they're really looking. It's just...odd? Different, I guess.

I also think my labia has gotten longer. At one point my mom sorta...bullied me? Into showing her my situation because I was getting so anxious about the pain when I was 15ish. She said I was weird for my short/lack of labia. And then said my clit was like that because I had an STD(I've never had sex, and her argument was that she gave me the STD accidentally by like...sitting on the same furniture as me??? Idk. Humiliating and unhelpful experience)

I sorta feel like I've mellowed out a LOT after my dick popped out. I'm wondering if I've basically had a really bad case of hormonal imbalance since I was 11 and hit puberty. I feel calmer and less weirded out by sex. Even tho I still practically think its disgusting. I hate fluids. I think maybe a lot of my sex repulsion might have been a brain thing where, arousal = horrible pain so avoid anything that triggers those reactions by overloading disgust. Like, when I was younger if I watched porn I would get UPSET about it. Now I'm just like, "ok" and move on cuz I don't really care about it lmao.

Anyway. I kinda think all this bullshit qualifies me as intersex. But also, I'm Normal™®© now cuz my shit seemed to work itself out. So maybe I used to be intersex? Idk. Female reproduction research is shit. I never found a good answer for what was wrong with me as a kid, and was left feeling very scared and isolated because literally no one understood it. A lot of intersex conditions aren't like....organs getting stuck in other spots I don't think. Or at the very least I couldn't find information about it. But I wanted to share my Scientific™ documentation and experience because this shit was terrifying and humiliating to go through my whole life and I'd like the information to be out there. Also I like over sharing.

And just for funsies my clit is almost at three cm, or basically one inch. If my measurements are remotely accurate, which its entirely possible its not. It is big tho.

Anyway thats it bbbyyyyeeee.

Here's some bonus pussy files documentation

[shiocreator]

A legit curious question! How did you end up checking out Digimon, especially the older stuff like 02? To me it is an old person thing (saw it on TV 24 or so years ago mysef), so i find joy in the fact younger folks like you have found it in this day and age 🤔

Aye, my relationship with Digimon was more "What do you mean they made GAMES", because I'd only ever known it from the anime episodes I'd seen as a kid (and by that. I saw maybe like. Abit of xros wars and became desperate to figure out what on earth it was, fell into the rabbit hole of finding clips of Adventure 01 on YouTube. Never getting to finish it. Finally found out I'd seen abit of Xros wars)

and years later (like. 2 years back?) when my dad bought me a switch and a game with it, I was surprised to learn it was a digimon game

cyber sleuth / hackers memory! I finished CS and got into digimon for abit! It kinda went away but I ended up hovering abit and I have some digimon ocs! (Hana Tabby and Ryuji Luna beloved)

Was in that mode when my friend had told me a new anime was airing, Ghost Game was around and ended up watching abit of it, the free episodes crunchyroll let me see before i was kicked, was never able to watch much after that so went away for awhile again

And now. Cue A month ago. I don't??? I DONT REMEMBER. HOW. I GOT DRAGGED BACK. I kinda just started thinking about it a Lil after my assassination classroom brainrot to fill the void of the fact I had no real hyperfixations at the time?

But yeah I ended up falling in love with Mummymon started watching Ghost Game abit again since i found it on the internet archive. Started going abit feral after learning he was a more prominent role in 02 after searching mummymon clips on YouTube

I found the sub version of 02 on internet archive

Im going to be so honest I watched 02 just for mummymon, I started watching at 29 because I just really wanted to see him. Perhaps.

This anime gave me a newfound love for Arukenimon and Blackwargreymon though honestly, devastated when I saw what happens to them all, I also have become fond of Oikawa.. They're all a very fun gang to me (And Uhm. I wasn't here. For the kids. I'm sorry children)

Uhhhhhh my friend at least found it very funny that I had context for Nothing that was happening since i was never able to finished the first adventure anime either. so. I hope it's not a sin and simply also amusing to others of how i ended up in 02 bwbehehbebshwben

I now excitedly await for when digimon time stranger appears and I Yearn to hope mummymon is a reality

And I am kinda mourning the fact mummymon is my favorite because I have to be the change I see in the world for more Mummymon around(/joke/lighthearted)

But yeah when I start isekaiing my own OCs into a situation or I craft some for a thing and get to chatting with friends who are ALSO into the thing I'm just kinda doomed from that point on to become interested in the thing a bit too much

I think I unfortunately hyperfixated on Mummymon and . Yeah looking at the pattern I AM watching Ghost Game bit by bit just for more Mummymon yeah.....

[tartrazeen]

Sooooo

Liiiiiiike

Angus.

Being Maeve's son.

The sub did the watch-along of the first episode today, and while we were chatting, we started talking about Maeve's outfits. That got into how Maeve has lots of outfits, and how nobody in Kells seems to have more than three - except for Angus. And that made a loose connection for me about how, "Ha, that's another thing he and Maeve have in common, on top of looking like each other." I think that was after I'd mentioned that Angus is a lot better at magic than Rohan, who's supposed to be Cathbad's apprentice.

I was expecting to leave it at that, but the other person I was talking to brought up something interesting 👀

Apparently, in the books (which I've never read), Maeve's described as having dark eyes, and Rohan's also described as having dark eyes and "chestnut-brown" hair.

Y'know, him:

And they mentioned it's not uncommon to have a bit of a physical description to help with casting, so if they knew they'd be building towards the reveal that Rohan is Maeve's son, they'd need to prepare for that from the start by securing some resemblance to hint that Rohan was related.

Y'know, to her:

So as far as the books were concerned, there was supposed to be a physical resemblance between Rohan and Maeve. And this person mentioned that Lochlainn O'Mearain was cast late in the process - which isn't necessarily bad, and maybe even not atypical, considering this was a show that made its toys so far ahead of casting that they uhhhhhh didn't know Ivar's supposed to be Black - that maybe...

... Vincent Walsh had auditioned for Rohan first. Possibly.

Now we've all heard of this: people auditioning for one character but being cast as another. The guy who played Ramsey Bolton originally auditioned for Jon Snow - it happens!

Here's the thing.

Ramsey Bolton and Jon Snow are characters that both have dark hair, light eyes, and pale skin.

In terms of basic checkboxes, the actors are visually interchangeable.

Here's Rohan and Angus:

But that's all beside the point: it doesn't matter, what happened happened, THANK GOD Vincent Walsh got Angus 'cause Rohan's not nearly as interesting, and I can make up whatever story I want to make up regardless of what the facts say uwu

Edit: if anyone asks, here's the full thread 💖

But honestly, I had so many typos. You're better off reading it on my Neocities site if you want a cleaner experience.

So here's what I'm thinking: in the show, Maeve "proves" she's Rohan's mother by showing him she has the same mark on her arm. Okay, cool - except, what if, maybe, Lying Maeve who once invented a whole personality just so she could marry her way onto Kells' throne by bagging Conchobar, lied about being Rohan's mom to the guy who has very openly been whining about how he's an orphan who wished he knew who his family was.

Maeve spies on them all the time! She can spy on them through fire. And Rohan never shuts the hell up about his damn family!

👀 Angus does not mention his own.

So Maeve lies to him, trying to get inside his head by magicking up a fake mark on her arm, and he believes it because who the fuck lies about that? (a real queen, that's who) She also tells him that Rohan was "stolen" from her as a child. If he wasn't specifically a baby, he'd have a couple of memories about being in a castle, right? And she's got no other proof than that single mark (which is enough for a kid's show, but hey, okay).

👀 Angus knows his way around a castle. Kells' castle, but he's certainly comfortable exploring it.

It's a massive shock to everyone when they learn Lugad is Rohan's brother. Angus is stunned. He stops trying to kill Lugad; that's how stunned he is. And when everyone finds out Rohan is Maeve's son, everyone's stunned again.

Except for Angus.

Who doesn't say anything.

The camera doesn't even look at him, really. Just kinda glosses over the reaction from Rohan's best friend, who's routinely taken pride in "kicking out the Temran dogs" from Kells' land.

In fact, Angus' only major reaction to Rohan's family is - again - towards Lugad, when Rohan waffles about being able to fight the guy. Suddenly Angus is all, "The family you grew up with is more important than the family you were born into!"

👀

Maeve is magic. Inherently. Midar powers her up, but she has her own magic for levitation and telekinesis, and then potions and powders and such.

Angus has always been involved when Rohan does anything magical, and has repeatedly done magic on his own. Even if it doesn't go perfectly (like the potion to put his hand through a wall), it still does something.

He's also always getting into Cathbad's shit: constantly finding fun in the potions there, whereas Rohan initially leaves those alone. When they're children, Angus convinces him there's fun to be had with them. And that's a lifelong trait - as an adult, he says later that he loves magic, like it's some rare thing most people aren't overly interested in.

Maeve's magic uses a lot of incantations. Not always, but quite often. Almost once an episode. Way more than Cathbad. But she has a different type of magic: sorcery. And when Cathbad gives Angus a lodestone, Angus activates it - successfully, on his own - with an incantation.

All of this totals up to me like someone who:

Knows where he came from, so he doesn't need to question it

Left without Maeve's knowledge (stole himself)

Has Maeve's latent sorcery, and a bit of practise from playing with her magic powders

Is keeping his mouth absolutely shut, to the point of letting his best friend think he's Maeve's kid

Beyond that, HOLY SHIT, how much fun would that be? It recontextualizes so much!

Angus is always mouthing off or speaking glibly to canon royalty. So let's now say he doesn't care about their title, because he's royal too, and he's got Maeve's spicy attitude. It's why he's so openly impatient with Fin Varra. It's why he'll happily interrupt Conchobar, and then have to rein himself back in. It's why he'll mock Deirdre whenever she uses her 'princess' voice, and probably why he picked a fight with Oh So Great Prince Garrett. It's even why he makes fun of Rohan for "putting on airs" about being Draganta, to the point of having a whole episode where they fight about it: Angus does not like the ego that comes with authority, and he's surrounded by that in its royal form on all fronts. But while everyone else stays quiet, he's got the audacity to just blurt out what he's thinking.

A royal audacity, apparently 🤣 He probably did that shit in Maeve's court all the time as a child, and she probably thought it was hilarious.

There's also that weird thing with Angus and the throne. I thought maybe it'd work as a very, very far-off way to establish Angus and Deirdre getting together (y'know, so Rohan has someone to legitimately compete with), but I've said it before: Angus immediately backs down whenever Rohan mentions his interest in Deirdre.

And yet.

Angus has sat in Conchobar's throne at least once. And very, very comfortably! He's got his damn leg slung over the arm of it, and he's making fun of Cathbad behind his back while he's doing it. Later, there's a fancy chair gifted to Conochobar as a tribute. Before the king even steps toward it, there's Angus checking it out and about to sit in in first. Everyone stops him, with Rohan even saying that seat's only for royalty...

... and yet Angus tried to do it anyway.

It's one thing to be an unconscious pull towards a throne as 'foreshadowing,' I guess. But it's a WHOLE OTHER THING for Angus to know he's actually a prince, come fully to terms that he left that behind and is just living in Kells as a commoner, but not display a commoner's understanding that he's not worthy of sitting in those places.

I don't think it's malicious. I think he's just treating them like any old seat, and getting a bit of a kick from knowing it isn't any old seat. But the thought that he's fully aware he's a prince, and that's driving his utter confidence to assume he can get away with it? 👀

The little things - him emphasizing that he's Angus of Kells, that the Temran army are dogs, even that he had to do a test of honesty to get his mace, that one Temran soldier telling him and Deirdre that "I don't take orders from women or thieves" - all get a new context here too. Again, not malicious: I think he's trying to convince himself, not other people. It's telling me that if he ran away on purpose, he left on an extremely sour note, and he's committed to it completely by going to the other fuckin' kingdom that his at war with.

It does give Maeve being like, "Ooh, Angus is a fine-looking specimen" some Back to the Future vibes. 😵‍💫 And that's 'cause in this theory, I don't think she knows Angus is her kid. For one, she probably wouldn't approach his capture the same way. She puts him in a dungeon, and she tries to bribe him later on, but both of those seem like tactics you use on a stupid villager, not your run-away kid. For another, depending on how young Angus was when he left, she might just straight-up not recognize him.

It also adds a bit of parallel with Deirdre and Garrett (and Ivar, but they make him too humble). Deirdre's constantly told how beautiful she is. Garrett keeps saying he's handsome. Everyone tells Angus he's handsome. I think the only one who says it to Rohan is Aideen, so we can rule him out. So that's three out of these four royals (Rohan being a commoner again) getting told how physically attractive they are.

It was another weird thing to keep highlighting, like the fact that Angus was handsome was gonna go somewhere. But if he wasn't going to actually pursue Deirdre, and he didn'n have any other love interests, then the only narrative purpose it serves is to align him with other people the narrative does this for: royals.

And let's not forget the other family trait: Maeve is CONSTANTLY plotting schemes and making deals and openly lying to get what she wants. What's Angus do? Openly lies to Ivar about knowing who the thief is. Makes a bet with Fin Varra he has zero intention of paying. Gets immediately nailed by Garrett as "someone who'll try to be clever." Gets called "sneaky" and "slithery" by Deirdre and Ivar as often as he gets called handsome.

ACTUALLY.

Ivar saying the giant snake might like Angus because they're both slithery, just for Maeve to turn into a GIANT FUCKING SNAKE as her final form?!

"Some friend you turned out to be" indeed 😭

I'm not gonna go as far as to be like, "Angus wears a headband, which looks similar to a crown that King Conchobar wears," 'cause other people wear leather straps like that in the village too. But I will say, "Oh, wow, neat, both of these characters had long hair, that actually seems like a solid point towards that being the actor's real hair (i still want a definitive answer someday)."

But I am gonna try to speculate on what would've made Angus leave.

It's two things:

1. Angus can read. As much as I love the idea that Cathbad secretly cares about Angus enough to teach him that, I think it'd be Rohan teaching him instead. That's because Angus doesn't - like... sit still well? And he sure as shit won't sit still for Cathbad. He's always fidgeting, and he even actively distracts Rohan when Cathbad's trying to teach the guy how to fight in a special duel to save his stupid life.

2. Deirdre does not like her princess lessons. And Garrett and Ivar were trading stories about how tough it can be to be a prince, having to be so formal and attending all those meetings. That means Angus would've been getting some sort of education too, and he would've been expected to do the one thing he literally hates more than anything else: sit quietly and pay attention as someone tells him something boring.

So honestly? I think he ran away 'cause he didn't want to go to school.

"I'm going where I know they won't recognize me, and yes, I will go live as a dumb villager, because they don't have to listen to stupid lessons about history. BYE."

I think that's why he has some understanding of magic. In the first episode, he's like, "What Cathbad did doesn't look hard. I'll just do that too." Maeve probably tried teaching him the foundational stuff, but he only listened to the shit he was interested in and - like we see in that episode with the Evil Druid - he loves explosions. Sooooo after the last scolding he was willing to take, he ran away. (omg 😭 what if his teacher was Nemaine? Then again, Nemaine seems to love destruction too, so maybe that's an angle for Nemaine to recruit Maeve's potentially-other-son to her side as well. Which isn't gonna work 'cause uhhhh Angus is really fucking loyal)

And when you loop that back to how he treats royalty, no wonder he's mocking them! He thinks they're ridiculous! Who the hell agrees to learn all that stupid stuff, when you could just... not learn it? And they think learning it makes them important?! Pfffft. Hard pass. Yeah, sure, maybe being a villager meant he had to flee from the war and not freeze or starve to death, but at least he's not stuck learning.

👀 Funny how he's all focused when he's helping to pick out a battle strategy. A scheme.

But the question to me isn't why he left. It's why he's chosen to stay. A kid running away from home because he doesn't wanna do his homework? That's gonna fuel you until you're starting to see your ribs. So to me, I have two possibilities, and they're not even mutually exclusive:

1. He tried to go back, and the guards refused him. Maybe it was a plot of some kind, maybe they didn't recognize him, maybe they didn't give a shit about children on the battlefield and told him to fuck off. Maybe he mouthed off too much while he looked like a villager, and they punished him like a villager by beating the shit out of him - and that was enough for him to decide he hated these assholes, hated Temra, and he gave up.

2. Maybe meeting Rohan turned him against Temra and his mother. He sees the war's destruction from Kells' side, and thinks Temra has to be stopped. He genuinely believes that anyone who'd lead a war - and keep instigating it - to put his new best friend (and himself) in such danger is something he will never return to. It's Kid Logic, 'cause maybe Royal Logic would've been to plead a case to Maeve to get her to stop. But again, Maeve doesn't seem to recognize him, and if he wasn't 'stolen,' then he was abandoned, so it doesn't make sense for him to have tried that.

(i really hope the second one is in the mix, 'cause can you imagine the context that puts in for Angus being the one to escort Maeve to her exile? 👀 omg what if she figures it out on the way there, and makes it her new purpose to reveal that to the others and sow discord, or actively try to recruit Angus back to her side so she can take down Nemaine. Imagine her teaming up with Kells for that, and as soon as she's won, going right back to Temra but this time expecting her son to follow her)

What I'd like to do eventually is write a hypothetical Season Two episode where I look at how Rohan finds out he's not Maeve's kid and that she lied after all. That might go into Conchobar saying Maeve's son - if he's alive - could be a valuable asset in the war against Temra, since Nemaine's resumed it. But it's also a serious risk. Maeve was worse than her father, so what if that whole family line gets crazier as it goes along? It might be safer to capture that threat before it can reestablish power in Temra or free Maeve, and lock it in a dungeon. That turns into a bit of a "Hunt the Prince" arc, and Rohan - more or less relieved he isn't related to Maeve - is free to chitchat with his best friend about how Maeve's son probably is as evil as she is, and how he'd be more than willing to take that prince down, too.

Angus:

But that'll be for later. uwu

I will add: I am so sick of amnesia stories. Either Angus knows he's a prince and has consciously committed to living as a peasant, or he doesn't and he's not. No "ohhh, i got hit in the head as a kid" plotlines. We're using the 'Rohan calls Angus dumb a lot' schtick as evidence for why Angus ran away. 😤

[thedawningofthehour]

Is Leo the medic in your AU? I know he's like a nurse now but I don't think you ever confirmed that he's the team medic.

Hey! Leo's not really a nurse, he's more like a receptionist or maybe a candy striper. Who I don't think are called that anymore but the same deal. And general moral support person, neither of the day doctors are very pleasant lmao he'll distract kids while they get their blood drawn and stuff like that. (actually Josh is very good with kids, but he's still an asshole to the parents so they don't like him)

I do like the headcanon that Leo is the medic, and it makes sense that Leos are medics. Donnie is the smart one but even Donnies that definitely specialize in biochem, (2012 Donnie making goddamn retromutagen comes to mind) that's way different from actually stitching someone up. Plus there's the fact that pretty much no Donnie has any sort of bedside manner. Like, 2003 Donnie was a sweetheart but he was also Fucking Weird, he'd probably start talking about how your wound could putrify and your fingers would fall off, but the chances of that happening are-why are you crying? Yeah, I can see him pushing off the actual doctoral duties to a brother when he can.

But I do kind of agree with the people saying that Leo wouldn't have that much of a complex about his position on the team if he had a clearly defined, very useful role like that. I don't think it's his formal role on the team, I don't think they really have formal roles so much as they have "Raph's in charge and Donnie's the smart one, uhhhhhh Mikey has fire and April likes to hit things a lot."

Also I wanted to keep in mind that Leo is fourteen at the start of the show. Most high school freshmen aren't going to know much medicine, even if they want to become a doctor or something. Most are still discovering and getting into more adult interests, they haven't had the time to fully explore what they like and what they good at. (Donnie is an exception to this because Donnie is a literal freak) Not to mention Leo has had very little education-he was homeschooled by a first-gen immigrant who dropped out of high school and, let's be real, probably took more than a few knocks to the head during his pit fighting career. Plus he'd been imprisoned for a decade-2005, so the local library definitely had computers connected to the internet, but he probably had no idea where to start with that and wouldn't have wanted to sit in a public library for hours anyway, he was visibly not human and had babies at home/hiding in his robe so he'd favor grabbing books and magazines he could take home. (okay, according to google public libraries absolutely had internet by 1995, but I'm going to guess he wasn't spending a lot of time in libraries in the 90s) Point is, Splinter had pretty much no idea what he was doing, he didn't have access to lesson plans or anything until Donnie set up the internet, he didn't know a lot about the subjects he needed to be teaching them himself and he knew even less about child development. I also think the boys, and Leo especially, would be terrible students, they're hyperactive and would not like sitting still for lessons, and Splinter would not like forcing them.

Leo would be incredibly challenging because he is extremely smart, but doesn't present it like Donnie. So he'd absolutely be bored by his lessons, they're so easy for him to understand, but to Splinter it would just look like Leo was being his usual shithead, overactive self and not wanting to do his work. He wouldn't realize that Leo was just more advanced than Raph and Mikey and needed more of a challenge-and he wouldn't really know how to meet that demand anyway.

The whole thing I'm getting at here-Leo isn't the official medic of the group, that really isn't a defined role on the team yet. For most of their lives Daddy took care of their booboos or maybe Raphie if it wasn't that bad, that didn't stop being the case until fairly recently. Leo learned some basics just out of practicality and was probably starting to take over that role. He is starting to get into biology and stuff and realizing that he really has a knack for this, but it's still in its early stages. He's still but a babe.

For his job at the clinic right now, he might be trusted to do some simple procedures like doing stitches, (which is not supposed to be allowed, but he was doing it on his own before so the doctors kind of make an exception if their hands are full) but he's 100% acting under observation. They're training him to do stuff, but again, he's sixteen. It's all pretty basic first aid and triage stuff, even as smart as Leo is it would take years for him to learn everything a Yokai nurse knows.

Uhhhhhh I promise I’m cooking something up guys. Promise… I’ll even show you the plan(?)

(Directly pasted from discord but I make it more Tumblr Talk A.K.A punctuating and rephrasing my unpunctuated word vomit)

Klance post canon, but the internet is obsessed over Keith. Since the internet is the internet, they end up graphically talking about how much they want to smooch Keith and do some Stuff with him, and Lance is not very happy about this.

Some random event comes up, and overnight Lance is instantly trending on social media!! He now has a bunch of people drooling over him too!!

The paladins do go attend galas and interviews and all that schmooze because they are celebrities (they literally saved the world??). People eat the content that is posted up, and that’s when the first few klance shippers rise. Most people are like “??? Where did you get that from” but the klancers are confident in their ship.

Keith and Lance are put into their old “rival” dynamic—instead of combat-related issues, it’s now about who is hotter. People argue about this A LOT and honestly KL probably talks about their rivalry in at least one of the interviews,which makes the fans EVEN CRAZIER!!

The Klancers are seen as delusional for picking up the (VERY REAL) fond looks Keith gives Lance in interviews because “Keith isn’t gay!!” (*cough* Lance is openly bi)

AND THEN LANCE GETS CASTED TO STAR IN A TV SERIES??? Everyone is pumped especially because he’s one of the main characters and he’s being paired with this one pretty girl (IT COULD BE ANY POPULAR WOMAN IDK) that he’s met up with a couple of times.

Flash forward to the series debut (and maybe even the second season) and people ARE GOING FERAL! Not only because Lance and the girl in the show are depicted as a really cute couple and have a really good development of their relationship throughout the first like 2 seasons before they get together (WHAT KLANCE COULD’VE BEEN, DREAMWORKS.), but mainly because there’s a NEW leaked bts where Lance is spinning the girl around in the rain and doing romantic stuff idk and people are posting about how they want to go jump in a highway

But then someone posts a video of lance spending time with keith IN THIS LITTLE LAKE WITH A WATERFALL!!1!1!!1 AND HE’S TWIRLING KEITH AROUND JUST LIKE HE DID WITH THE GIRL??1?1!!1?

The internet explodes again.

things to note:

Keith is giggling in the video. Don’t ask why, I’m just correct.

The romance between Lance and The Girl in the series WILL BE 200% non-toxic. This is so I can make a plethora of people scream and cry over it in the fic, just like how they did with klance in 2017 (Except for the fact that. Y’know… they didn’t end up together 💀💀).

Jealousy will be a huge element in the story. Whether it’s Lance/The Girl or Keith/I don’t fucking know, there is going to be lots of yearning.

Uhhhhh I’m terrible at making stories and consistently updating so I can’t promise you a completed fic!!

If I do end up committing to The Bit and completing the story, I would aim for it to be around at least 50k(?), with like 20 chapters at most.

I am NOT finished with VLD (currently on 4x6), so as I run through the seasons there is probably going to be more and more references to the show as I update!

Thanks for reading this whole little thing!! I will say some of this was inspired by the fic Headlines by an orphan account. I highly recommend the fic!

I hope to get the first chapter of this fic out by next week (the 27th), but I am also notorious for procrastinating, so we’ll see.

Finished Kiryu's section!! Man, what a ride. Some of the best writing Kiryu has had this far out of all the games I've played.

KRJEKWKWKWSKKD💀 I mean he's right! But damn!! And he delivered too😩

Uhhhhhh... I really don't think this is a good idea, Kiryu! I really don't like thi-

That's...a lot of men. A very big number of men. A small army, even. Weapons and all. A whole bunch of weapons, in fact. Kiryu, my beloved... why??

......

Well! Nothing more to it, I guess. Let's go. This is gonna be a long one.

Incredible scene. I'm really fascinated by how much it irked Kiryu to be called "different" and "merciful". Gosh, I'm LOVING his internal conflict in this game. Even though it hurts like a bitch!!

Aoyama getting absolutely DOMINATED and becoming a whimpering mess was glorious. Truly a highlight of my day.

😭😭😭😭😭 well FUCK YOU TOO, Morinaga!!!! Damn.... he was rising my faves rankings so fast, too 🥺 Sure, I can see where he's coming from, being angry at Daigo for dipping, but AGHHHHHH. Killing Aizawa?? Really?? He was your bestie!! What the hell, man?

I'm sorry, but... the existence of the upcoming Majima game pretty much told me this is bs 😭 also, no way they'd kill him off-screen and show it in a flashback or something lame like that.

The Suit™ is back! Kiryu looks sad about it, I'm somewhere between sad and hyped. I hope Kiryu reunites with Haruka in Kamurocho. If he's heading there instead of going to Sapporo to look into Majima's fake demise/near-death situation, that is. Called the framed picture being of the Morning Glory kids, but it still made my heart ache.

Interested to see who this true traitor turns out to be. Aoyama's final sentence started with "it's your..." when he was speaking to Watase, so someone with a connection to him. Is there an Omi guy pulling strings in the Tojo upper ranks? Maybe one of the other chairman candidates or their captains? Maybe the goal is to have one of the candidates as chairman of Omi and another one leading Tojo, basically winning Omi the country?

Why would Omi wanna lure Kiryu out of retirement, though? Watase's whole thing aside, it would be more beneficial to let him stay in this town as a taxi driver and removed from the equation, no? Maybe they just wanna get rid of everyone major right now, all at once. Hence the whole Majima situation and Daigo having to go into hiding. Maybe because they don't wanna risk a veteran like Majima or Kiryu ending up as chairman when they manage to end Daigo?

The plot thickens.

I saw your post and I decided, why not? I've never done this before! (I'm no good at thinking of prompts). Currently I have one thing on my mind: Good Omens. And maybe this is weird to ask, but could you maybe take a scene from it and steddie-fy it? I don't care who's who.

There's a scene, which is my personal favorite, where Crowley asks Aziraphale to hang out after having dinner, and Aziraphale, with a soft voice and a longing look, says "You go too fast for me, Crowley."

And of course the "just a little demonic miracle of my own" scene. That ones a bit longer to explain, so I'd search it up for a better experience. This is the one all of us, including the author, speculate is when Aziraphale realized he was in love with Crowley.

Uhhhhhh yeah peace out ✌

Okay yes I know exactly what you’re talking about, I’ve seen the show and I’ve read the book (more than once actually lol) BUT it’s been forever and right now I’m not remembering anything besides the vaguest outline of the scene in the forest, when he starts going by Crowley. And then a few random scenes that I had to look up 😩 strangely enough I couldn’t find the “you go too fast for me, Crowley” scene anywhere which SUCKS because now I need to see it just to see it 😂

Also side note I would LOVE to Steddify the entire thing, I feel like Nancy would make a great Anathema, and Robin would be a fantastic Madame Tracy, esp considering the fact that Aziraphale/Steve (that’s what I’m imagining, at least) literally inhabits her body. And there’s even a Party what with Adam and them! I’m thinking Dustin as Adam, Max as Pepper, Will as Wensleydale, and Mike as Brian.

Anyways. Yes I love this a lot, thank you 😂

“Didn’t you have a flaming sword?” Eddifer asks, tilting his head

“Uh- oh, uh-” Steve stutters. It’s embarrassing, angels don’t stutter, but he’s caught wrong-footed, not sure he did the right thing anymore, and with Eddifer looking at him like that-

“You did! It was flaming like anything,” Eddifer says triumphantly. “Lost it already, have we?”

“I… gave it away,” Steve mumbles.

“You what?” Eddifer asks incredulously.

“I gave it away!” He shouts.

Eddifer looks at him for a second. Blinks. Looks away.

Steve’s left with a feeling he did something right. It’s more comforting than it should be, coming from a demon.

~~~~~~~~

Steve tilts his head. “Is that you under there, Eddifer?”

“‘S Eddie,” he grumps, lifting his helmet and sighing. “‘S Alright, lads, I know him.” He shakes his head. “What the heaven are you doing here?”

“I could ask the same of you!”

~~~~~~~~

“Animals,” Steve hisses, locked in a dungeon. This is a pickle if ever there was one.

“Animals don’t kill each other with clever machines, Angel, only humans do that.”

“Eddie,” he says, can’t help the excitement in his voice. Then he sees what Eddie’s wearing. “Oh, good Lord.”

Eddie’s lounging against the wall, arms crossed, looking Steve up and down. “What the deuce are you doing, locked up in the Bastille? I thought you were opening up a bookshop!”

“I was! I got… peckish.”

“Peckish,” Eddie parrots flatly.

Steve huffs. “Well if you must know, it was the crepes. Can’t get decent ones anywhere but Paris.”

“Angel,” Eddie says, “you’re really something else.”

Steve can’t quite figure out if that’s a compliment or not.

~~~~~~~~

“Y’know,” Steve says, almost certain Eddie’s going to push him up against a wall again for it. It’s half the reason he says it. “I think, deep down, you really are quite a nice person.”

Eddie doesn’t push him up against a wall, only smirks into his drink. “Only because you’re just enough of a bastard to be worth knowing.”

HIII MACINTOSH i forgor 2 ask this earlier BUT. free card 2 talk about ur cauldron thoughts now that u know they r doing unethical human experimentation & also the other two members of the triumvirate etc Know About It... if u want... do u have any pepe silva redstringing going on.... eyes emoji eyes emoji.... anyway HI i would love so much 2 bother u more abt deadwood & also worm stuff i have been. thinking abt fucking nhw all day. its dire. unfortunately it is friends & extended family socialization hours for mee <333 anyway hope u had a good day!!!

OUGH THE EXTENDED FAMILY SOCIALIZATION..... you are so so so strong dude. sending u all of my remaining energy in the form of LONG FUCKING POST ABOUT WORM LETS GO.

OKAY . put that under a cut bc i know I'm gonna ramble. I have so many thoughts and none of them are coherent.

FUCK CAULDRON MAN. LIKE . THEYRE AWESOME. BUT THEY JUST FILL ME WITH SUCH A SENSE OF DREAD. they feel like. to me. they feel like the Big Bad of worm . not so much in the final boss kind of way but in the "underground corporation that is morally bankrupt enough to do unethical human experimentation seems to have its fingers in basically every single cape organization out there." maybe that's overstating their reach a bit but. THE PROTECTORATE ?!?!?!? LEGEND!??!!??! the fucking slaughterhouse nine apparently !?!?!?!?!?!?! what are u gonna tell me next, they fucking. made one or all of the endbringers or something !?!?!?!?!?!?! (<< this is my most wild theory but in my defense i don't know anything about simurgh yet and that one seems suspicious in some way. if I'm right about this I'll crawl on my roof and scream at the sky.)

ok ok ok thoughts feelings emotions yes. but also. taking a second here to lay out the facts that I think I know so far. 1) cauldron is doing human experimentation (awesome for me). pretty straightforward. 2) AT LEAST ONE of the protectorate capes are cauldron-made. We know about legend (and battery but shes not at the same level legend is if i remember correctly). it was KIND OF IMPLIED???? that eidolon might be too??????? what the fuck were they talking about injections with him. sus. and if 2/3 are cauldron capes. why would alexandria be any different. what the FUCK the implications of this are insane. 3) they have also created VILLAINS. and while they say they actively discourage it, they also admit that they cant exactly stop it from happening. and also tjeyre proven liars. they specifically told battery to let siberian and shatterbird escape. siberian's creator/real body/whatever the hell he is to her had the cauldron brand. which leads me to think that shatterbird is probably a cauldron cape too. trying to cover their tracks???? pretty disastrous if two of the SLAUGHTERHOUSE NINE show up with identical tattoos that can be traced back to the shadowy underground organization that also created some of the most revered heroes. thats a fucking timebomb waiting to happen.

wait as im typing this. i think im confusing the protectorate and the triumvirate. you know what i mean i hope. i also know what i mean but unfortunately i am Stupid and there are So Many names. anyway moving on.

UHHHHHH . FUCK. theory wise. i dont know if i have any solid theories other than the fact that i think cauldron as an organization will turn out to be the bbeg. also that thing i said about the endbringers except thats less of a theory i actually believe and more of a "wouldnt that be fucking crazy huh". i dont think i have enough information yet to guess at their MOTIVES but... i think its going to turn into a "the whole system has been corrupt from the beginning and the difference between heroes and villains is more of an act to keep the rest of the world in check than anything else." i keep going back to that thing one of the brockton bay heroes said in the first wards interlude. where one of them said something like "that would ruin the show" thats a thing that happened right????????? the fuckingggg. merchandization of the heroes drives me a little crazy. theyre like celebrities. actually no theyre more like a sports team where you root for them to beat the "bad guys" and obviously its not that simple because the villains ARE terrible and are doing awful things with their powers a lot of the time (kaiser, the s9, etc etc) but also like... you have ppl like the undersiders and faultline's crew and the travellers. who are just like.... people with a goal. BUT YOU ALSO HAVE THE HEROES. WHO. fuck!!! after this last interlude!!!!! fucking alexandria and eidolon, two of THE MOST heroes in the world!!! are aware of and ambivalent to unethical human experimentation and will continue to allow it to happen!!!! and on a smaller scale youve got armsmaster (everything about him) and miss militia ("just shoot her in the head dont worry about it") and also the entirety of the child soldier- i mean wards program. like. its all so fucked. its all SO fucked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and cauldron probably has their greasy little paws in all of the leading parties!!!!!!

god i am so NOT good at putting my thoughts about this kinda shit into words but just know i have been fucking blender microwave comboing this for HOURS now. the kitchen is a MESS. i KNOW theres something im forgetting here. augh. may reblog this with more thoughts later. i was originally also gonna tlak about nhw a little bit but GOD im jsut thinking about cauldron now.
