Take a shot whenever you hear someone calling Jahaerys "the child" (including his close relatives) and you may end up like a drunk Aegon on the iron throne.

Well, that just happened.

“i can fix her” final boss

[paxbe]

if we ignore the fact that this doesn't fit with canon at all, i like to imagine a scenario where eddie somehow doesn't know who steve ‘the hair’ harrington is and, through a series of mix-ups, accidentally makes everyone think he has a huge crush on keith from the video store

like imagine a scenario where eddie is still friends with the kids and he's also friends with robin, so he's heard plenty about their friend steve and he just happens to have never met him or even seen him ever. like he's heard the kids gush about steve (leaving out the killing monsters part because that's classified) and robin mentions like ‘yeah i know steve! i work with him at the video store, you've probably seen him when you've swung by’. but somehow eddie has only come by when keith is working and he thinks ‘yeah sure, that looks like a guy the kids would be hanging out with’ and files that assumption away and doesn't question it.

and maybe they've even talked on the phone like eddie calls robin at the store or at home and she's like ‘yeah i’m just here with steve’ (as usual) and they chat about the kids and whatever and so eddie feels like he's got a pretty solid idea in his mind of this guy “steve” that his friends seem to like so much, and he seems like a nice enough guy even if they don't really have anything in common.

and yeah maybe he does think some of the comments that robin or the kids make are a bit weird, like when he thinks about “steve” (keith) he's a bit surprised that this guy apparently gets so much attention from the ladies, and eddie doesn't think his hair is anything particularly special. but eddie's not the most conventional looking guy either so who is he to judge! and he appreciates that robin offered to help set them up one time but “steve” just isn't his type (and she knows his type well enough so he doesn't know why she's so surprised). but still, there's no reason for eddie to think that he might be picturing an entirely different guy.

and then one day he walks past the video store and steve is working and eddie's like, mouth open ‘hang on who is this??’ and steve makes eye contact with him through the window and smiles or even waves because that's eddie, he knows eddie, they're kind of friends almost. and eddie just panics and books it out of there.

and like a week later he's still not over it and he calls robin (and of course steve is also there) and it's like

eddie: ‘hey who's that other guy you work with at the video store??’

robin and steve: ‘who, keith? yeah he's the guy who hired us, he's alright, we're not that close though’

and eddie's scandalised like: ‘how could you go on and on about steve (no offense steve) and somehow neglect to mention you work with maybe the most beautiful man in the world??’

and steve and robin are like: ‘keith????’

A fun prospect for Superhero-themed SV AU's that I don't often see is genre dissonance. Like, Luo Binghe as this edgy 90's style antihero who just straight up kills his enemies and sleeps around and is driven by selfish motives (revenge, ambition, etc) rather than altruistic morality, vs Shen Qingqiu as this kid-friendly supervillain who is "evil" mostly in terms of aesthetics and his ability to make inconvenient problems that are reasonably safe for child heroes to solve. Something like Punisher vs Team Rocket in terms of vibes.

Maybe the reason they meet is because some big publishing house akin to Marvel or DC just bought up the rights to whole bunch of older, discontinued comics titles, and decided to do a Justice League/Avengers style mash-up with a bunch of nostalgia properties and their most recognizable heroes and villains. Which means lots of crossovers condensing several titles into a handful of series.

Luo Binghe's origin always features him as a teenager, so he reboots as the youngest Avenger-equivalent team member in the new continuity. Even in this reboot, however, the writers still mostly go the gritty and dark route with his plots and stick to the same key developments -- his abandonment as an infant, his adoptive mother's tragic death, his tough life on the streets, abusive mentors and backstabbing "allies", and so on.

But Luo Binghe's life suddenly starts experiencing periods of dramatic change in his life when he's brought in for appearances in the lighter, friendlier world of the Junior Heroes continuity. After all, he's a natural choice for tying the two continuities together thanks to his youthfulness. Luo Binghe isn't consciously aware of the fact that he's moving between different titles and different writers. All he knows is that sometimes, when he hangs out with the bright and talented Ning Yingying, he's drawn into "conflicts" with Shen Qingqiu -- the kind of "villain" who will call for tea breaks, never actually hits anyone when he shoots his ray gun, leaves clues for all of his crimes, and can't seem to stop from imparting genuinely helpful advice in between his witty quips and taunts.

When Luo Binghe fights Shen Qingqiu, somehow he never actually gets hurt. Neither do any of his friends. The world in general seems brighter and lighter, as if there is some secret barrier protecting everyone from all the evils Binghe knows only too well exist in the rest of his life. Luo Binghe is increasingly convinced that Shen Qingqiu is the source of this mystical safety net. After all, for an allegedly powerful genius who is able to fool half the world about his wicked aims, he's never won a single fight against a kindhearted but somewhat ditzy teenager and her ragtag bunch of friends!

So what's he spending his actual energy on?

Luo Binghe is pretty sure it's keeping the real evils at bay. Making himself the biggest bad in town, and in doing that, making it so that the "biggest bad" is nothing worse than a slightly judgmental teacher in a pretty costume.

It's not long before Luo Binghe doesn't want to go back to the Justice League equivalent, to his world of misery and strife, even after his visits with Ning Yingying are supposed to be over. Especially as the global stakes of various heroic activities start getting higher, and it becomes clear that the boundary between Shen Qingqiu's safe world and the grimdark reality of Binghe's usual life are getting thinner...

RIGHT???

And before anyone out there remarks that this is a perfectly acceptable utterance, signifying nothing in particular, may I offer up the much more immediate, less literary, and more commonplace option of "dwelling". It is also less to get out through that head contraption, fewer syllables, less to articulate. "Dwelling" is Germanic in origin, whereas "Domicile" is old French, i.e. Latin. "Dwelling" is almost gutteral by comparison. "Domicile" sounds like something that your Classics professor would use. Why even exert that much effort and style in order to dole out orders to a bunch of troopers?? Why even bother?? Unless it were just in one's nature, an unavoidable apart of one's lexicon??

JUST SAYIN'

???????????? i cannot even with this show right now

DOMICILE?? INTERESTING CHOICE OF WORDS THERE MAN WHO IS DEFINITELY NOT TECH

[snailification]

[whatsupmykentuckyfriedfuckers]

I'm gonna write a story about an asexual vampire who just steps right into the sun because they can't eat garlic bread anymore.

[moopsoup]

needy!rafayel who loses his fucking mind when he sinks into you, his grip bruising, his breath shaky. because fuck, you’re tight, so warm, squeezing him just right. “mmm f-fuck—” he whimpers, forehead pressed to yours, eyes squeezed shut like he’s already on the edge, just being inside you.

needy!rafayel who can’t hold back. can’t take it slow, not when he’s been aching for you all day as he grinds deep, setting a pace that’s nothing but desperate, needy and hungry. if he could live in your skin, he would.

needy!rafayel who whines when you clench around him, his hands squeezing your hips as he pounds into you, wrecked and ruined and so fucking gone on you. “s’too good,” he slurs, his voice all breathy and slurred, pupils blown wide as he watches you take it. he was straight up addicted.

needy!rafayel who begs and doesn’t even realize he’s doing it. he’s too far gone to care. too fucked out to be embarrassed. “please,” he gasps, hips snapping into you, fingers trembling where they grip your thighs, spreading you wider, needing to be deeper. “please—‘m gonna cum”

needy!rafayel who breaks when you pull him closer and wrap your legs around his waist, his pace stuttering, his whole body shuddering as he cums, clinging to you like he’ll fall apart if he lets go.

needy!rafayel who presses wet, open mouthed kisses to your throat, panting against your skin, his voice all needy. “again,” he breathes, rolling his hips, already hard again, already aching. “give me one more, cutie.”

Being a writer is hearing a new song, going "oh no", and surfacing a week and a half later with 50,000 words added to your WIP while you have lost track of time, space, food, and social obligations
