they should have an episode where they throw literally every character into the XY mirror cave. just to see what would happen
#pokeani#tay's tag#shitpost hours#now for specifics. imagine if you will:#a Solidad that minds her business. Maliciously. it's just not her problem.#and yk what. May and Drew can just switch what it is that they usually do. that's close enough. i'll go on a 5k tag ramble otherwise.#it's a vast oversimplification of their characters to call them outright opposites of each other#but I know that if I go any more in depth than that then i will not shut up. lol#anyways. finally: imagine straight Harley.#leaving you guys on that note. it's odd. it's menacing. it's unsettling to me. goodnight.#this is a tag friendly post. tell me what your blorbos would be doing in the xy mirror cave. i must know

song: i love you i'm sorry ~ gracie abrams
part 2
╚══ஓ๑♡๑ஓ══╝
As the sun began to set and the sky took on a deep orange hue, the party at Nicole's house was in full swing. The air was alive with the sound of laughter, music and the occasional pop of a champagne cork. Y/N takes small measured sips of her drink, stumbling as she hits somebody.
“ow! shit, sorry,” she grimaces, turning, before jumping as she is met with startling brown eyes, gazing at her softly. Steven grins at her easily, balancing her as she sways slightly on her feet.
“easy there tiger,” The nickname rolls off his tongue effortlessly, making shivers dance down Y/N’s spine as he smirks down at her. She couldn’t deny the inevitable butterflies that arose in her stomach as he touches her cheek.
“You and that supid nickname,” She groans, flicking his forehead affectionately. Steven rubs his forehead, rolling his eyes at the younger Fisher.
“Oh shush, you love it.” She does. More then he would ever know. His attention strays from her as he turns to look at a group of boys calling his name.
“go find belly,” he pushes her forward slightly, watching amusedly as she stumbles.
“I’ll find you later.” Nodding, Steven bids her a goodbye, before dissapearing into the mass of sweaty and grinding bodies. Y/N sighs, attempting to calm her racing heart. It seems to sing in her chest, fluttering and beating with excitement. As she walks onto the dance floor, hands capture her hips, swaying her to the side as hot breath touches her ear.
“What is a pretty girl like you doing alone?” Y/N shifts uncomfortably, turning to meet a very drunk, attractive brunette who hands her a lazy smirk.
“Name’s Ray darling.” He tilts her chin up, inspecting her with a scrutinising eye.
“And you, are stunning.”
“Y/N Fisher,” She mumbles, before attempting to push him away.
“Now if you’ll excuse me,” She wriggles as his grip tightens on her wrist, dark and menacing.
“Darling,” He clicks his tongue conscendingly.
“why in such a rush? You don’t have a boyfriend do you?” He leans in, tracing patterns on Y/N’s bare back as he pulls her flush against him.
“No, listen, I really do got to go,” She says, pushing him back. Ray groans, running a veiny hand throughout his thick, brown curls.
“at least put your number in.” He hands her his phone, tapping his foot as people bump into them, Y/N groaning in disgust as she sees Nicole and Conrad’s tongues intwined. She felt slightly bad for Belly, but she was a bit of a entitled brat sometimes.
“fine.” She replied shortly, tapping in the digits, before walking away. As she ascended the stairs in search for her asian best friend, tapping on the doors as she went. She cringed as moans and unholy sounds filled her ears as she accidently creaked open a door, squeaking as she was met by a brunette’s arching, bare back. Cleansing her mind and eyes, she continued on, knocking and slightly opening doors.
“Belly? Belly!” She called, before stumbling through an open one, smiling as she was met with her blonde best friend making out with a shadowed figure. The two jumped apart almost immediately, Taylor squinting as Y/N shook tipsily.
“Y/N!” She cried, her face creasing guiltily.
“tay tay!” Y/N smiled, shifting her gaze and feeling the happiness seem to melt off her body. The silhouette looked up, the light falling onto his face.
“S-Steven?” Her voice felt small as Steven’s jaw fell open, as he scrambled to the door.
“Y/N!” She swallowed as a sob rose in her throat, sobering instantly.
“I gotta go,” She choked, tears falling down her face as she ducked behind a curtain of hair, exiting the room hurriedly.
“Y/N!” Steven yelled, chasing the running girl as she rushed down the stairs. Pushing through the dancing crowd, she breathed a relieved sigh as she was met with Ray’s drunken gaze. Without any other words, she pulled his head down in a frenzy, meeting his lips forcefully. His lips molded with hers, tasting alcohol as his tongue swirled around hers. Jeremiah’s rendition of summer nights filled the air as she made out with him shamelessly on the dance floor, right in the gaze of the asian. And for the first time, Steven Conklin experienced heartbreak.
It was a tension-filled car ride back, the only sound was the gentle humming of the radio as Steven grunted. Taylor shuffled in the back, fast asleep, makeup smeared across her face. Y/N stared determinedly out the window.
“I’m sorry.” Steven muttered.
“For what? Kissing Taylor or me finding out?” Y/N huffed, her gaze fixated on the passing landscape.
“Don’t be like that,” Steven scoffed, his knuckles turning white as his grip tightened on the wheel, swerving slightly.
“Like what?” She mocked, rolling her eyes. The older conklin, pursed his lips.
“Acting like a brat.” He hissed, ignoring the sharp stabbing in his chest with every word he uttered.
“Well you’re acting like a child!” She yelled suddenly, her glare stormy as she turned towards him. They fell silent for a moment, Taylor barely stirring in the backseat.
“I thought she was you.” He whispered, his lips barely moving.
“What?”
“When I kissed Taylor I thought she was you.” Y/N heart leapt in her chest, as she reached a hand out.
“steven-” He barely spared her a glance as he exited the car, slamming the car door. Y/N’s lip trembled as she called out weakly with tear-filled eyes. Her chest felt heavy and hot as the summer wind sung against her face.
“Steven!” She stumbled into the house, weeping silently and pathetically, tripping up the stairs.
“Steven wait!” As his bedroom door slammed, shaking the floorboards, Y/N sunk to her knees, sniffing and wiping her nose.
“i-i love you,” But nobody heard, a silent prayer in the wind only the gods would hear.
As Y/N awoke from a restless sleep, she rocked on her feet as she grunted, slipping slightly as she was overcome with nausea. Bile poured from her mouth into the toilet bowl, as she began to cry again softly, wiping her swollen, red eyes. She felt pitiful as she sat on the cold white tiles, her tears spilling onto her shirt and onto the floor. She didn’t move an inch as a knock sounded on the door.
“Hello?” Conrad’s voice echoed through the door, concern tinging his soft tone. The door creaked open woefully as her older brother inspected her curled up, shaking figure.
“Oh Y/N/N,” He murmurs, picking up her limp figure as she stares at him numbly. It feels like old times, her sleepy figure in his arms as she giggles after a movie marathon late into the night. Y/N curls up absent-mindedly, sobs wracking her body.
“I love him, I love him, I love him,” She whispers, as Conrad rubs her back consoldingly.
“I know Y/N/N, I know,” He lays her down on her bed, watching as she simply looked at the plaster above her, mumbling inconherently.
“Sleep well mkay?” He pecks her forehead, before exiting and shutting her bedroom door softly. Y/N’s thoughts are filled of Steven. The way he says her name. The way he would ruffle her hair. The simple ways he would bring her painkiller tablets on her period, or how he would remember just how she likes her coffees. The way he would bring her muffins on early Monday mornings. The simple ways they would walk on the beach together hand in hand, their matching shell anklets, the sunset on their faces. Steven, Steven, Steven. She shut her eyes. The way his eyes crinkle when he smiles. When he’s nervous he runs a hands though his hair. His favourtie faded spiderman t-shirt that Laurel has told him so many times to throw out. His dream to go to Princeton. Their matching chain bracelets with small heart charms. Steven, Steven, Stev-
She yawned as she slowly began to sit up, rubbing her sore eyes. Y/N took a sip of her water, washing out the sour taste in her mouth. As she began to descend the stairs, memories began to rain down on her. As she touched foot on the bottom floor, and the clatter of cutlery hit her ears, Y/N stalked towards the dining room.
“Y/N dear! Are you okay? Conrad-”
“Mom.” Jeremiah cut her off, smiling softly at Y/N’s messy state.
“Well look who decided to show up.” He reached over to ruffle her hair, before she flinched back. He masked his hurt look with a pleasant smile.
“come, eat.” He pointed to the potato salad and pasta with his fork, patting the seat between him and Belly. Y/N sat uneasily, picking at the pieces of creamy, boiled potato that Conrad plopped on her plate.
“excuse me,” She didn’t look up as a chair screeched upon the floorboards, and familiar, worn converse stomped past her.
“Steven! Young man, you sit-” The words died on Laurel’s lips as Steven’s footsteps echoed up the stairs. The two mothers seemed to share a look, as if saying ‘teenagers.’
“oh, young love. don’t you remember Laurel?” Susannah sighed dreamily, placing an arm on her best friend’s shoulder. The other woman smiled in response, obviously reminiscing on old memories.
“the good old days,” Y/N poked at her pasta, prodding it with the metal prongs, before clearing her throat and pushing her plate away.
“Uh, I’m not very hungry. I’m going to go too.” She quickly walked upstairs, not glancing back as she heard her mother’s tired sigh. Softly, she padded to the bedroom door to the left of hers. ‘Steven’ was scribbled in red crayon, and taped on the door. She didn’t bother knocking, barging in, watching as he quickly turned away, shielding his red, blotchy face.
“what do you want.”
“we need to talk.” She spoke shortly, not waiting for a response as she plopped down on his bed.
“you’ve said all you need to.” She began to tear up.
“I was drunk Steven. I’m sorry-”
“sorry?!” he turned to face her, his jaw clenched.
“do you know how in love I am with you Y/N? Do you know how much it physically hurt,” He let out a watery laugh, swivelling in his desk chair.
“For you to just spit those words out at me like you-” He pulled on his hair angrily, letting the strands loosely fall onto his cheek.
“like you…hate me,” His voice turned to more vulnerable as he seemed to fold into himself.
“I don’t hate you,” She whispers, inching towards him slightly.
“I’m so in love with you Y/N that I do the dumbest shit when you’re around, and you make my heart go all weird and warm in my chest.” He takes a breath as you wrap your arms around his quivering figure gingerly.
“I love you too…” He sniffles rubbing his nose.
“you’re just saying that.”
“no, I swear, I love you too.” Her eyes begin to feel hot, and they water as she pulls him closer.
“I’ve loved you since we were children Stevie…” Steven cries into her hair, before pulling her back up, pressing his lips against hers. It was slow and magnetic, built up through years of unsaid words and nervous feelings. It was just how she had imagined it. The older boy pulled back, pressing his forehead against hers.
“never leave. swear on it.”
“i promise.”

Sympathy for the Devil ~ 23


A Donaka Mark x housekeeper!Reader fic, based on @discoscoob 's concept & bot! An unlikely flirtation turns into a dark obsession... Warnings: Donaka Mark is a bad man with a soft spot for you. dark romance, possessive behavior, nonconsensual voyeurism, red flag red flag girl!🔺, psychological games, power imbalance, eventual dubcon/nsfw/involuntary captivity. -> all chapters

Twenty-Three.
Now that you've fallen into the new lifestyle of a kept woman, Donaka usually rises before you do. He works out or trains or swims, or sometimes he's already gone to the office by the time you stumble out of bed.
In your defense, he keeps you up late.
One morning, you wake to find an old photograph on your night stand, resting on the Tai Chi book you've been making your way through.

It looks like it's from the 80s, a young man seated on a tattered couch in a studded leather jacket, a teenage girl beside him. They look similar, pretty, with fine features and dark eyes. The boy has a dusting of a moustache on his upper lip.
It takes you an embarrassing amount of seconds to realize it’s Donaka. He must be in his early twenties, glowering at the camera, and yet…somehow he’s a little awkward too. His hair is long, past his chin, and so fluffy you would have died to touch it had you been there. Beneath the young man’s unapproachable facade, even through the photo, you sense a melancholy in this boy that squeezes your heart.
It’s creased down the middle between the two subjects, as though it's been folded for years.
You wonder if the younger girl is his sister.
You'd asked him what he looked like when he was younger, that day in the restaurant. You never actually expected him to deliver.
You clutch the image to your chest, thinking about the journey that young man had undergone to get to that moment, and what he must have done to get to where he is now. You don't know the details of that in between, but you want to. Someday, you hope he'll trust you enough to tell you.
Donaka took your old journal, but you have a new one tucked into the drawer. You haven't actually managed to write anything in it yet. Something about absolutely knowing he will read whatever you write has stymied your creativity. But it feels like a safe place to store this new treasure, and you tuck it gingerly between the acid free pages.
You hope he hasn't left yet, and you get out of bed to look for him, pulling on your long robe as you go out the door. You slip out onto the terrace, the sub-tropical morning like magic before the heat of the day sets in. Quietly you pad barefoot on the stone, and you pause at a distance to admire the object of your search.
To say he swims like a fucking merman is putting it lightly, crossing the infinity pool with powerful strokes, back and forth. You seat yourself silently on one of the deck chairs, watching him make his laps.
He erupts over the edge of the pool, his gaze immediately zeroing in on you. “Spying on me, bunny?”
You smile in answer. “You're not the only one who likes to watch.”
“Is that so?”
“The view from here is a solid ten.”
He smirks, because he knows he's beautiful, damn him. He crooks a finger at you. “Come here.”
“I don't have on my suit.”
“That's a problem why?”
“It’s too cold.”
“Don’t make me come get you.” He says it with a gleeful menace that suggests he would relish the chase.
Knowing you are doomed, you shrug out of your robe, and slowly pull your nightie over your head. You have long since numbed yourself to going about the house naked when Donaka demands it. All the staff have probably gotten an eyeful at some point, for which you are sorry. The heated look he pays you more than makes up for your embarrassment, going straight to your clit, and you narrow your eyes playfully, annoyed by your own desire, but totally resigned by now. You walk to the edge, stopping just out of reach with a hand on your hip.
“Closer.”
“Make me,” you taunt, diving over his head into the water.
You're an ok swimmer. You won't be winning Olympic gold anytime soon, but you can usually manage not to drown.
All that goes out the window when Donaka Mark is after you.
You barely make it mid-pool before he's got you in his clutches, his strong arm around your waist, and you almost drown yourself because you are laughing.
“Breathe, bunny,” he scolds you, hoisting you out of the water and patting your back too hard, punishing you a little for defying him.
You cling to his solid form like a limpet, coughing and laughing. He presses you back against the infinity edge of the pool, the water sluicing over. All too pleased with yourself, you smile at him, blinking the water out of your eyes.
“Someone’s up early.”
“Hmm.” You kiss him, running your fingers through his wet hair. You think back on that photograph, remembering those luxuriously dark curls that framed his face.
“You should grow your hair out,” you tease, spiking the hair at his temples.
He lifts an eyebrow to this, smirking at you.
“Ah, you liked your little gift?”
You nod, biting your lip. “You were so pretty.”
“Were? Thank you, ingrate.”
“Well. You're devastatingly handsome now. If it's any consolation…” you begrudgingly admit.
An approving grumble emanates from deep in his chest, and he presses you into the side of the pool a little harder with a kiss, his hold on you migrating down to cup your bare ass.
“Who…is the girl?”
“Jealous?”
“I think it's your sister.”
“Clever little rabbit.”
“Where was that taken? Toronto?”
“New York. We moved there for one of my mother’s numerous boyfriends.”
“Oh. Does…she still live there?”
He shakes his head, but offers you no more, pinning you with that dark gaze.
“What…was your life like, when that photo was taken?”
“Chaotic.”
“How so?”
He growls at your litany of questions, grazing your shoulder with his teeth. “Were you in a motorcycle gang?” you tease him, thinking of that bitchin’ jacket.
“Not exactly,” he deadpans. You pause, wondering if he means he was in a gang, period. “Would you believe me if I told you I was an angry young man?”
Nooooo, not at all.
You bite back your sarcasm, hoping for more. “I might.” You run your nails through the short hair at the back of his head, but he doesn’t elaborate, the silence stretching between you. You think that maybe he wants to tell you about his past. He wouldn’t have given you that photograph otherwise. But maybe, he doesn’t know how.
So you hold him closer, kissing his neck and enjoying the warmth of his bare skin pressed to yours in the glittering blue water.
“Don’t pity me,” he grouses, like he can feel what you're thinking.
“I’m not,” you assure him. “I’m fascinated by you.”
“Hmm. Nosey girl,” he growls into your hair.
“Like you can throw stones.”
This earns you a grumble of laughter from deep in his chest. “Most of what I know about you, you put out there for anyone to find, if they knew where to look.” You’re pretty sure he also hacked your email, but you suppose that’s mostly true.
“Ok. So why did you look?”
“I was curious about you.” It’s the understatement of the century. He doesn’t admit to you that he uses his knowledge like power. You suppose he doesn’t have to.
“Well. I’m curious about you.” You try to draw this parallel for him, hoping he’ll return the favor.
It earns you a grumble and another long silence, this imposing man holding you just this side of too hard in the serenity of the early morning with the water lapping around you. You rest your head on his broad shoulder, savoring the quiet with him, feeling his pulse through the fever-heat of his bare skin pressed to yours. Even if he doesn’t want to talk anymore…this is enough.
At the moment you come to accept the finality of the silence between you, he begins to speak. “We were dirt poor, and constantly moving from house to apartment to house, depending who my mother was fucking at the time. She had a steady stream of boyfriends, but no one who wanted to be a father to us. I hated being home, if you could call wherever we were crashing at the time that, so I was always out on the street, getting into trouble. Big trouble. I think I left for Macau…a week after that photo was taken.”
You can’t help but think that it makes sense in a way, that enduring such a childhood with no stability made a man who relishes absolute control over everything.
“You were so young.”
“In face only. How old were you, when you left the country on your own for the first time?”
“Nineteen.”
“We’re not so different then.”
You’d left to see the world, and maybe to look for something to fill the hole that we all have inside–not to avoid prosecution for a crime–but maybe it was similar in the end.
“Why did you have to leave?” you dare ask, insufferably curious.
“One of mom’s boyfriends thought that my little sister came with the package. I had to correct him of that notion.”
Your eyebrows raise high, a sick feeling in your belly. It’s possible you know more than you’d like about that scenario from your own mother’s selfish choices. You’re not sure if he’s implying he killed this man, or simply beat him, but you find…you don’t care.
“Your sister’s lucky she had you.”
“Maybe. My mother disowned me though. She said I was just like my father.”
“Oh, Donaka. That’s not fair. What did you do then?”
“I went to go find him.”
“How?”
“I had my ways.”
“Oh come on.” You nip at the bulging muscle of his shoulder, winning a growl that curls your toes under the water.
“Macau is a place where you can gamble on anything in the back room. I found out he’d finally become a wealthy man running an underground, high stakes fighting ring.”
“This is starting to sound like the plot of a JCVD movie.” In your perhaps misguided way, you try to cheer him by cracking jokes.
“JCVD? I don’t even merit your beloved Jackie Chan?”
You giggle. “Ok. Jet Li, maybe. Do you remember Romeo Must Die? I think it changed my brain chemistry as a teenager.”
He snorts at that. Afraid that you’ve derailed his story, you prompt, “So…you got into the fighting ring?” You’ve seen him training, and he is scary. You imagine a younger version of him in the octagon could have drawn a hell of a crowd.
He grunts in acknowledgement, distracted by kissing a line down your neck, his long fingers inching towards your center, and you hitch in your speech as you ask, “Did he…know who you were?”
“Not at first.” There’s no emotion in those three words, but you sense a sea of fury beneath them, deep deep down.
“What…happened?”
“I won enough fights to get his attention. He was so impressed he offered me a place in his organization. Then, I destroyed him.”
You go still in his arms as this sinks in. You can’t shake that he means that he killed his father, and maybe many others too. But after what Donaka told you his father did when he was just a child…practically a baby…maybe you don’t blame him. Maybe you understand his need for revenge all too well. “Are…you worried the 14k might come after you someday for that?”
“They split themselves into smaller factions of operation to limit liability, if someone gets caught. Anyone who ever knew anything about my involvement is gone. Except for you, now.”
Gooseflesh erupts down your arms as you realize there is a responsibility as well as a threat folded into this information you so badly wanted to possess. Not that you would ever be able to prove anything to anyone, but the power of a stray word can turn into a big wave, in the right circumstances. He is both trusting you–and binding you even further to him.
“Then what?” you ask, realizing with a new finality just how deeply you’re in now. You can’t say you were still actively thinking about going home lately, but something about this new revelation succeeds in pushing you off center somehow.
“I came to Hong Kong with the nest egg I’d earned. I had inside experience with how the Triads worked. I used it to offer wealthy businessmen protection from them. And as you can see…that’s gone well for me.”
You draw back to look at him, studying his handsome features. You’d sensed from the very beginning that he was a man who was quite capable of terrible things. But then, sometimes that’s what it takes in this hard world, and it’s hard to feel sorry for the boyfriend who made a pass at an underage girl, or his father, a man who wanted to hurt his own children, then abandoned them. Are your morals so flexible, or do you just know you’re no one to judge amidst the life you’ve lived in comparison?
You should be horrified, but you're not.
You shouldn't want him, but oh, you still do.
“That would make a hell of a Jackie Chan movie,” you tell him with a small smile, lightening the mood just enough to win you that sardonic smirk you’ve come to hold so dear.
“Finally, the recognition I deserve,” he scoffs, fixing you with that gimlet stare that should scare the piss out of you, but instead…fills you with something effervescent and light.
You do need your head examined.
“So you like martial arts movies,” he muses, paying you a contemplative look that makes you nervous somehow. “Have you ever watched a real fight?”
You know, because he’s told you, that that’s where he goes on the evenings when he doesn’t return until the wee hours of the morning. You realize he must have a particular appreciation for the sport, after having participated in such things himself.
“I’ve been to a few peewee tae kwon do tournaments in my day,” you tease. “I’ve even got the little gold plastic trophy to prove it.”
This makes him throw back his head with wicked laughter, amused, as ever, by your cheek. No one else in the world would dare, he thinks to himself. He knows that part of your bravery comes from the fact that you still don’t understand, even after his confession to you, what kind of monster has you in his arms. And part of it…part of it is just you, and he is never going to let you go.
“Pee wee tae kwon do. Aren’t you adorable.”
“So I hear.”
“How did I not know that about you?”
“It was a dark time, before every move we made was immortalized on the internet…”
He huffs with reluctant laughter. “I see. So you’re initiated. Does that mean you’d like to see a real fight with me?” There is a sudden hunger in his gaze, his lips parted with the eagerness of a tiger tasting the wind. You can’t help but notice that he is rock hard between your legs, his cock pressing insistently against you as his gaze bores into yours.
Perhaps you whetted his appetite, accepting his confession of his past sins so easily, but he finds he wants to share this with you.
But you, oblivious to the sudden firestorm erupted in his heart, backpedal at the sudden bloodlust in his eyes. “Do people get really hurt?”
“The fights I attend are a test of true warriors, not a suburban blackbelt league.”
You let out a shaky breath, feeling uneasy, partly at the thought of the bloodsport, and partly for the hungry way he’s suddenly looking at you. “Can I think about it?”
You know you’ve disappointed him, for the way his expression immediately closes off from you. “Nevermind, bunny. I don’t think you’d like it.” Maybe he was tempted by the chance to be accepted completely by you for everything that he is, horns, claws, and all…what a foolish notion. He knows better than to expose that underbelly to anyone who is not blooded. What was he thinking?
Perhaps it’s not only teenage boys, who forget to reason with their real brains when a beautiful woman is around.
You find you’re disappointed to have the chance to go with him to these mysterious nocturnal outings snatched completely from the table. You stick out your lip, sensing you’ve let him down.
“Maybe…let me watch some more tournaments with you first. I do like that.”
“Hmm.” His interest sharpens again; you feel it like the weight of a blade upon your skin. “Do you miss doing martial arts?”
You shrug. “I was very young.”
“Are you liking your book on Tai Chi?”
“It’s interesting.”
“Alright, bunny. We’ll see then.”
Before you can answer his mouth is slanted over yours, and with a pull at the fabric of his shorts he has buried himself inside you. He fucks you against the side of the pool, your nipples in his mouth as he bends you back over the edge.
You feel like you might fall off the side of the world, with him thrusting inside you, your body tumbling off into the void, right behind your sanity. As he fills you with hot ropes of his seed, your greedy cunt milking his cock through your own ecstasy, you know that you’re utterly lost to this man–you’re just lucid enough to recognize it, but much too far gone to care.

Marr Family Redraw
Crosshair left them alone for five minutes.
But that's what happens when you give Akona a harpoon.
Ramblings + Reference under the cut:
Was feeling a bit down but then this image came to me and I felt a little better so I had to draw it. I just love these guys :(
Was also thinking about Akona because I love her so much (partly because she's inspired by my mom's cat - aka my kid-sister/godchild whom I adore despite how big of a menace she is) and how she's picked up little bits and pieces from both Crosshair and Tay over the years.
In terms of personality, I see her being a lot like how I would image Crosshair was as a kid–stubborn, bratty, curious, a little menace who is used to getting his way and is a tad bit emotional. Or like,, y'know –the kid who eats glue in the back of the classroom and also bites the other kids? Yeah that was cadet Crosshair and that's how Akona is too. But she's got a heart of gold and loyalty literally means everything to her. Plus, since she's an only child she's spoiled very much like how Crosshair was since he was the baby of the Batch.
But then in terms of mannerisms and style, she takes after Tay. Like even if occasionally, Crosshair takes her out to a shooting range to practice her sharpshooting skills (and she's pretty good at it too), when it comes down to it, she prefers hand-to-hand combat like Tay and enjoys things like wrestling more than anything. She also like wearing sleeveless shirts like Tay and wears clasps on her tendrils that are similar to the ones Tay has on his lethorns. Then there's also the fact that she wears a gauntlet similar to Crosshair's old one because Tay still wears his old gauntlets that he painted like Crosshair's when they were together. That and the little blue cloth she wears as a belt was actually Tay's before he passed it down to her.
Either way she's a delightful handful. Her personality makes it hard for Tay and her Uncles to say no to her since she's so similar to Crosshair but then her tendencies to be inspired by Tay get her (and also Tay) into trouble every now and then.
Also, her name worked out perfectly. Initially, I picked it out because it meant "to enthuse" in Maori and then later I added on the 'Mae' part in honor of Commander 'May'day (because I could see Crosshair honoring him like that) and THEN it also worked out to honor Tay's mentor/mom, Ko, because 'ko' is in the name 'Akona' and would be something Tay calls her.
Idk, I just love them.
Also don't worry, Tay's fine. He's suffered worse, lmao. That's what he gets for letting Akona have a harpoon.

#i just love them#tbb#the bad batch#silly squad secgen#tbb sec gen#tbb crosshair#crosshair bad batch#oc: tay'kaa marr#oc: akona-mae marr#sharpshooters#crosshair x oc#canon x oc#meme redraw#max's masterpieces#my art

yellowjackets AHS!murder house au...thots? ur in college, looking for a place to rent and the only one you can find is this creepy, old looking one but rent is practically nonexistent, so you take it. you start to notice small stuff like phantom touches when you sleep, or the feeling of someone watching while you study. when you come home from a class one day, there's six girls in your living room.
-🧛♂️
omg as an ahs fan i LOVE this so much 😭 u’d come home from class one random day and they’d be like:

van and mari would be a MENACE, they’d be pranking you all day 😤 and then tai would join them too cuz “happy wife happy life” 🙄
then lottie would tell them to stop and apologize on their behalf while shyly swinging her leg, and then she’d give you a little handcrafted gift 😭
shauna would like to spend time with you but she’d also have homicidal thoughts i just know it (in a homoerotic way, not serial killer way) 🤨 but my girl jackie would come in clutch and ground her 🙏🏻 she’d also love to watch you study, and ask to borrow some of ur textbooks
if you're feeling down, jackie would call a group meeting behind your back and have a bunch of brainstorming sessions to come up with things to do to make you feel better—or to figure out what's wrong.
nat would be the walking definition of minding your own business, she’d usually be quietly standing next to the window smoking a blunt. u’d become friends cuz u’d smoke together occasionally 🙇🏻♂️ and u’d buy new cassettes for her to listen to
laura lee would force everyone to hold hands and pray for their souls in purgatory every single night before bed 😭
misty would go NUTS if you’re not home by the usual time, she’d freak out and stand in the window with some weird ass binoculars

Rosebird Week 2024 (Day 1) - Vacation/ Roadtrip
Summer - ALL RIGHT TEAM !
Qrow - Tone it down several decibels
Summer - [a little more quiet]You boys can go set up the camp while I help Raven with … something
Tai - Like what
Raven - None of your buisness
[Summer frowns]
Qrow - What could be so secret
Raven - [deadpan, almost menacing] I’m a girly girl with a girly secret
Summer - [grabs her hand] Come on Raven [pulls her away]
Raven - [out of earshot] What’s the matter ?
Summer - [sad] I know you’re doing this for me, but I don’t like you antagonizing them
Raven - It’s fine… This has to be a secret I’ll apologize later .
Summer - Still…I know you want to be friends with them. And I don’t want to ruin that
Raven - [sighs] Let’s get started
Summer - Right … [presents hand] Will this work ?
Raven - [pricking Summers finger, looking a little sick at the sight of someone’s blood, much less SUMMER’S blood] I’ve never made a portal to someone I don’t have an emotional connection with. Making a blood connection is possible as well. But using blood to find a RELATIVE to the bloods owner ? Unheard of
[Raven swung open a portal. It shook like jello as it struggled to find its intended target]
Raven - [takes Summers hand and gives it a prolonged kiss, using her own aura to close it]
Summer - [blushing] Rae, I have my own
Raven - Yours is more important. Dont worry, I got something nice out of this
Summer - Fuck you Rae [covers face]
[Summer looks to the portal as it solidifies]
Summer - [grimm] I’m coming dad …

It's been said before how Sokka kinda learns a lot of different combat styles from different regions. I just think it would be neat if after the war he set out to be the Non Bender Avatar.
At first Katara was a bit confused, but by now she's learned that her brother just has ideas sometimes. She's willing to see this through. Aang is of course super supportive even if he doesn't get it. And thus, the journey begins.
First, he finally finishes his father's fighting lessons. He's a master of the boomerang and a fearsome Southern Warrior...but that's not all. With Aang's help they visit the Northern Water tribe. While the Avatar deals with some diplomatic business, Sokka asks to train with their warriors. Now he's a master of both southern and northern water tribe fighting style.
Next is Kyoshi island. Suki is really happy to see him there and more than gladly agrees to continue his training. He's no longer a silly little boy with narrow minded ideas. He's a man of the world, and he puts the work to learn their techniques. By the end of his training he's gifted his own fans and new friends, the rest of the warriors impressed by his dedication and amused by his humor.
On the mainland he finds different teachers, and a variety of styles. From Lucha libre-esque to more martial arts focused. He also learns how to handle quite a few weapons, the Bo staff becomes one of his favorites for its versatility.
The fire kingdom is home to so many great fighters he almost gives up. Obviously a culture so focused on war would nurture a talent for violence. The first one is both the easiest and the hardest. Zuko is his friend, so he's easy to convince. Tragically he also has many obligations and little time. Sokka makes it work, training under the blue spirit when the Fire Lord has some free time and continuing his lessons with Piandao. Even better Ty-Lee and Mai both visit the palace frequently so they're next. Ty-Lee's is probably the hardest one yet, the acrobatics a little too much. But with enough practice he finally obtains the flexibility and balance to pull it off.
The last one is the most difficult one. Not only are the Air nomads ostensibly pacifists but, well, there's only one left. Aang is sure that there must have been some fighting style of his people. No culture is a monolith and although everyone he knew was a pacifist, there must have been someone out there kicking ass air nomad style. After some studying and many dead ends they realize that the calm and meditative Tai chi the monks did at the temple was originally a martial art. Mixed in with some air bending moves and promising to only use it defensively, Sokka becomes the first air nomad martial artist in a very long time. It brings him and Aang even closer, being able to share his culture with someone else. Feeling like maybe it's not gonna end with him or his line.
At the end of the journey Katara just smiles, joining her brother and boyfriend in their taichi demonstration for the earth Kingdom and Fire Nation delegates. You truly did it she thinks to herself the Non bender Avatar.
Just, Sokka learning every fighting style and becoming a menace who just so happens to be best friends with the most powerful non benders in the world.

What happened to Lottie? Who is to blame?
Nobody, it was actually an accident.
Maybe Laura Lee's ghost was flirting with her. Lottie fell in more ways than one.
The other Tai (Tai doesn't remember).
Vangel Palmer. I don't think it was Van, but I wanted to include her.
I don't think it was Misty either, but it could have been Walter trying to get Misty all to himself.
Oops!… HAT did it again (Kelissa strikes again)
The bisexual menace. Shauna has an alibi, but you never know with her.
It could have been Callie, and maybe that is what they are referring to with Shauna's DNA.
Jeff. Well, technically. The domino effect. If he hadn't started with the blackmail. It would have been less likely that they would have reunited and died.
Lisa or some other unknown cult member.
Maybe it was a butterfly effect. Somehow it turns out to be the guy who picked up Taivan's card on the street.
Travis came back from the dead and wanted to try again.
I still don't like that they decided to kill off Lottie so soon, so I hope the writers did something worth it. The worst case scenario for me would probably be if it was the mustache guy looking for revenge.

Disbelief
(Maxwell Beaumont x Olivia Nevrakis) in a choices Crackship drabble
Inspired by the prompt: No one believes we're dating
A/N My writer's block finally eased up! Woo! This idea was originally part of my Crackship series involving these two, but I decided to go a different route to their reveal. I still wanted to write this scene for them and thought, why not share it? So here we go, an alternate universe within an alternate universe 🤣

Masterlist
"I've got to find a man." Penelope wailed.
While the other ladies of the court expressed their sympathy, Olivia merely rolled her eyes.
"Madeleine told me again that I needed to find someone after my mess up at the fashion show." Penelope slumped in her chair. "Even after I doubled the donation, she still insisted I make a match before the wedding shower."
Her violet eyes drifted over to where Riley was talking to Drake and Maxwell. A slight frown formed on her lips.
"I don't care what Riley thinks! I'm going to ask Maxwell to enter into a courtship with me." She glanced at Kiara. "And I think you should ask Drake!"
Hana's jaw dropped.
"Penelope!" Kiara gasped. "I don't think I--"
"You have such a crush on him!" Penelope argued. "Isn't it time to finally give in to your fan--"
"Tais-toi!" Kiara exclaimed, looking about to make certain no other nobles overheard their conversation.
"Perhaps," Hana gently interjected, "we should instead focus on why you think Maxwell is right for you."
Kiara breathed a little easier now that the conversation wasn't focused upon her own hopeless love life.
Penelope practically beamed as she went into a list of reasons Maxwell would be a good match.
"He's so sweet! He's always smiling, even though he's stuck with a scandal in his house." She sighed while staring at him. "He's also kinda dreamy. Those blue eyes of his are to die for! And--"
"And he's taken." Olivia declared.
Three pairs of eyes blinked at her in confusion.
"Taken?" Penelope repeated in disbelief. "What do you mean?"
Olivia finished off her glass of wine. Standing up, she addressed the clueless trio with a bit of smugness.
"I mean he is already in a committed relationship."
"With whom?" Kiara asked.
Penelope released a little cry that she attempted to muffle with her hand.
"It's Riley! He's in a relationship with her! That's why she didn't return to America after being caught with Tariq!"
Hana shook her head. "I don't think that's--"
"It isn't Riley!" Olivia snapped. "It's me."
"You what?" Penelope asked.
"I'm the one dating Maxwell!" Olivia announced.
Silence fell upon the group.
Then, a snicker slipped out.
Kiara and Penelope began to laugh to the point tears twinkled in their eyes.
"You and Maxwell Beaumont?" Kiara guffawed.
"Like that would ever happen!" Penelope wiped her eyes as more giggles burst forth.
Hana seemed to be the only one noticing Olivia's short fuse igniting. The longer the two ladies laughed and joked about how ridiculous the notion was, the more menacing Olivia became.
"Why is that funny?" She demanded.
"Because!" Penelope exclaimed. "He's super sweet and just adorable."
"You're more..." Kiara tried to find the right word to describe the duchess.
"Stoic?" Penelope offered.
"Hmm." Kiara tapped her chin in thought. "She is that, yet much more emotional."
The two pondered the notion a little longer.
"You don't like fun." Penelope declared.
"Excuse me?" Olivia bit out.
"Of course she does!" Hana argued. "Just because your idea of fun doesn't match up with hers doesn't mean she--"
Olivia silenced her with a slash of her hand. Though she was grateful for Hana's defence, she was more than capable of fighting her own battles.
"Regardless of what you think," Olivia hissed. "Maxwell and I are together."
"Do the Beaumont's owe you something?" Penelope teased.
Kiara laughed at the notion. "It must be an enormous amount of debt some ancestor of theirs was unable to pay."
"Unlike you," Olivia leaned forward, bracing her hands upon the table, "I don't need any reason to have a man want me."
She straightened her shoulders then smoothed her black dress down. "Maxwell's always been in love with me."
With that, she turned on her heel to join his group.
***************
"I'm so sick of these functions." Drake grumbled. "It'd be different if they actually fed us instead of these little appetizers they occasionally send out."
"I think it's called an amuse-bouche." Riley told him.
"Yeah well, I'm not amused." He mumbled.
"It's supposed to awaken your palate." Maxwell added.
When both Riley and Drake looked at him curiously, he shrugged.
"I heard it on some cooking show."
"Makes sense." Riley teased him. "I mean, it isn't like you grew up with all this fancy dining or anything."
"The lessons were boring." Maxwell explained. "But the food rarely failed to please. "
"Uh huh." Drake rolled his eyes. "Anyway. When do we actually get to have dinner?"
"Probably after Liam and Madeleine are done talking to our hosts." Riley nodded toward the far side of the room.
The trio quietly observed the group speaking to Liam. The way he stood, firm and unmoving let them know that negotiations were not going well.
"Ugh." Drake slumped back against the wall. "We are never getting out of here."
"We're going to starve!" Maxwell clutched his growling stomach. "I can already see a faint light growing brighter in the distance."
"We could always sneak out for a snack." Riley whispered.
Drake and Maxwell perked up at that suggestion.
"I'm game." Drake whispered back. "I hate to leave Liam, but the needs of the many and all that."
"I'll grab Hana." Riley added.
"I'll get Liv." Maxwell turned to leave to do that very thing, only to find himself yanked back by Drake.
"Why in the hell would you get Olivia?" He asked.
Maxwell blinked.
"Um, because she's my girlfriend."
Riley and Drake stared at him for two heartbeats before they burst out laughing.
"You almost had me there Beaumont!" Drake slapped him on the back.
"Your face!" Riley spluttered. "You were so serious!"
"But she is!" Maxwell argued. "Olivia and I have been in a relationship for a while now."
"Uh huh." Drake snickered. "And Liam's decided to make me his fashion expert."
Riley giggled even harder at that notion.
"It's the truth!" Maxwell declared. "I've been in love with Liv for ages. She realized we should be together and--"
"Stop!" Drake pleaded, doubling over.
"I can't breathe!" Riley gasped.
"Guys, I'm telling you the--"
Maxwell paused when Olivia slipped her arm around his waist.
"Kiss me." She demanded.
Without missing a beat, he pulled her into a long and tender kiss.
Riley, Drake, and the ladies Olivia had left behind stared in astonishment at the sight of the two entwined.
When the kiss came to an end, Olivia's smug smirk flashed.
"Want to get out of here?" She asked him.
"With you?" Maxwell's dimpled grin appeared. "Always."
She stepped out of his arms while glaring triumphantly at Penelope.
Lacing his fingers with Olivia's, Maxwell let her lead the way out of the banquet hall.
She led him near the table where Penelope and Kiara sat with Hana.
Pausing once more so they could easily hear her, "Max? How would you like to stay the night with me?"
"Absolutely!" He exclaimed with a grin.
"We didn't get to finish what we started the night before." She continued once she heard Penelope's frustrated squeal. "I think we'll need all night to finally get," she lowered her voice to a purr, "completely satisfied."
Before anyone could react to that blatant hint, Maxwell gripped Olivia's hand and dragged her out of there.
"Maxwell!" She snapped as he pulled her down the street. "Slow down!"
"We have to hurry!" He told her. "That bakery we went to last night closes in twenty minutes!"
She huffed, a slight smile forming at the wrong thoughts she'd planted in everyone's minds.
"You know, we could do more than eat our weight in macarons." She reminded him.
He paused, allowing her to bump right into his arms.
"I fully intend to." He captured her lips in a long, deep kiss. "But I need energy which requires sugar to make sure you wake up completely satisfied."
Olivia's lips curved into an amused smile.
Leave it to Maxwell to find a way to turn a simple dessert into fuel for sex.
Shaking her head in amusement, she takes his hand once more as they hurry on to a nearby bakery.

Hot Take: If Adam's character wasn't so split between being a toxic lover and a spiteful extremist, but rather focused on one over the other, he'd be several degrees better as a character. Like imagine if in the final showdown with Blake, he said "I didn't pursue you in Forever Falls, I let you leave at the Fall of Beacon. You proceeded to meddle in all my plans afterwards and ruin them all. And for all your preaching about "letting go for my own sake" you seemed to be awful quick to mobilize Menagerie against me. So this time I'll make sure you won't be capable of meddling." rather than centering it on his desire to control her. Alternatively, make his entire arc be about wanting to seize control over her. When Blake describes him at first, have her specifically mention he always wanted control and just pretended to want equality. Give us scenes of him gazing at a picture of Blake, rather than that whole "What about her" when he was told she was at Beacon in V3. Hell make him that much more of a creep with her if his character's gonna be about his obsession to her - he controls a good chunk of the White Fang, have him send people to look for her rather than the plot where he kills off Sienna. He'd be more menacing if the WF Lieutenant mentions she's to be brought alive. If he ignores the students and Atlas Soldiers to search for Blake, and his appearance is him calling out to her rather than just kind of killing random people before she stops him, that'd get the "obsessive ex" angle much better off.
I do and also don’t agree. Personally I think they shouldn’t have made him a toxic ex or have a romantically implied relationship with Blake at all.
For starters, it doesn’t do anything when the point and conflict of Blake’s story was fighting racism. Second, Rooster Teeth never took the time to make a comprehensive timeline of when certain events happened and the ages of the characters; so it always going to be a recipe for disaster for fandom and perception unless has always been no more than a year older than Blake.
Part of what attracted me to RWBY in the beginning was how it felt like they took a few tropes and flipped it on its head enough to be different but address important messages. If they wanted to add themes of toxic relationships, domestic abuse, and important, Cinder’s treatment of Emerald was right there. Not to mention Willow and even Tai could’ve been used. Giving that situation to Adam and Blake just feels like a waste when there’s more compelling drama with a conflict of differing ideologies and perspectives.
