does VAL have the muscle memory of the dead woman whose body she remains in? does she involuntarily react to things that she can't remember the context for? does her body keep the score? and other things that keep me up at night

[decoy1]

Spot the kinda villain to stop others from hurting or killing his designated hero because he wants to “do it himself” or “if anyone’s gonna hurt/kill Spider-man it’s gonna be me”.

Cold desert

I am the cure

And I am the disease

I am to give them life

When I want to cease to exist

I am the trouble

But I am the serenity

Ohh,who is left to look after me?

If not me?

Never have I shared myself with others

Beyond paper

When I love too hard

But love the snakes

Knowingly,how do I complain when I get poisoned?

I carry it within

This guilt that has done enough

For it has destroyed me

But I refuse

For the world has done more

I love the unloved

And when they get love,they leave

Was my love never enough?

Or did I scare you off,dear?

'Tis may

But I am forever stuck in winters

In this cold desert of my own thoughts

They prepare for worst of worsts

When I scream

"Let me live"

I see my tears turn into ice

The life within

Is dying

Ohh Lord,save me

Forgive all my crimes

And give my mother a note

Let her know

I tried

I tried to overturn the cycle

But it overturned me

Let her know

That I tried

Being a smut peddler who also writes non-smut can be...weird... sometimes. Cuz like. I'm trying to write this NON SMUTTY BOOK that has ZERO SEXY INCEST and STILL my fucking lizard brain is like "Make her fuck her adopted dad figure. Come on. He's evil. She's evil. They are bound together by prophecy. He's hot. She's naive and trying to grow up too fast. Do it. Do it. Do it (make them do it)--"

And I'm spraying it with water going "THIS IS NOT THE FUCKING TIME"

chapter 1: la conejita y el lobo || chapter 2: la esposita y el líder

Fandom: Spider-Verse Fanfiction Pairing: Miguel O'Hara / Rating: E Chapter: 2 of 3 Word Count: 15,147

read on ao3

OR: Gwen thinks Miguel is taking her to church like a good Catholic father.

(Fortunately for the groom, Nueva York has a bit of a language barrier. Unfortunately for the bride, she only has two options: get sent back to her father or make Earth-928's Miguel O'Hara a Daddy.)

--------

“Would you like to know who doesn’t exist in this universe?” his nose is inches from hers, his face arranged in a primal imitation of a smile.

(Gwen had a quick wit, a toolbelt of gadgets, and superhuman strength. She knew she was nobody’s meat. Despite her slight build, Spider-Ghost was clever enough to outfox a plethora of villains.

She had forgotten little red predators could easily become prey under a wolf’s sharp teeth.)

“… Me?” her breath rattles.

“She does now.” And then, Gwen remembers the documents she’d given the priest.

Despite all the security systems Vox relies on, sometimes there's nothing better than a good old-fashioned guard dog.

Unfortunately for him, Vark... isn't.

To be fair--the hellshark does recognize something's amiss before any of the security systems do (not that they ever will, because Vox had spent time training the algorithms to recognize Alastor's particular brand of static interference). There is a hellish smell coming from somewhere in the living room, and when it reaches his nostrils, Vark perks up immediately.

He's smart enough to know that it shouldn't smell like that, because Vox doesn't ever appreciate it when Vark tries to bring home miscellaneous sinner parts on the street. He noses at his owner's prone form, as best he can without an actual muzzle. No effect.

For a moment, Vark expends all of his brainpower to contemplate tearing Vox's charging cord out of the wall. It's always worked before.

...But then Vox would probably take away whatever tasty treat was out in the living room, wouldn't he?

Vark gets up carefully from the bed, so as not to further disturb Vox, and trots out to the threshold to the living room.

To his surprise, the source scent of carrion appears quite active; a whole man standing in the living room, on his own two feet and all his limbs attached and everything! And Vark hadn't even heard him come in! Maybe he had treats for Vark?

...The hellshark's thick tail starts to wag, and he trots right up to Alastor without hesitation. Please treats.

@kikaichuno ~ continued from [here]

ㅤPerhaps not his wisest idea, to make himself noticed for the sake of something as unnecessary as learning about a very specific species of bug. Then again... he is in Konoha, he and Kisame both. Nobody stopped them at the gates, nobody batted an eye at the dark coats with red clouds that are becoming infamous a little all over. Only this Aburame genin seems to have sensed something out of place, and for that he's already earned Itachi's respect.

«I see.»

ㅤNow the issue at hand is, how to make this not completely awkward? How to make said boy not fear for his life nor like he's about to be used as a self-destruct button for the village? Admittedly, it was nostalgia driving Itachi's question, more than anything else. An old debt that should have been paid in full the moment Amaterasu's flames engulfed Sugaru, yet here he is - troubling Shisui's spirit all over again. Hopefully, his old friend will forgive him the urge to learn more about what [technically] killed him. One that Itachi has yet to give up on, but a different approach may be in order.

ㅤ«My question has a very personal undertone to it, one you are under no obligation to indulge. Would you accept a cup of tea as an apology for troubling you? My treat.»

[scalpelsister]

the way yall r talking about karlachs romance gives me the ick. "didnt consent to being topped" its a video game 👍

[demonsfate]

Had a convo with sb on tweeter and altho it started as a sorta-argument (not rly), it did ended amicably with us semi-agreeing with each other, but also acknowledging the story can go any way. But we were debating if Jin and Kaz would actually be relevant in the next game and we brought up the point if Jin could still have the devil gene. I pointed out it's sussy that Jin still has the tat, it felt like an intentional decision to leave him with the tat in the ending. That person countered by saying "oh, it's just a cosmetic, the tat is too recognizable of a design for him". And it's like... big maybe but like. I don't think it'd matter much if they removed the tattoo just for the ending...? I mean, they removed Kazuya's red eyes - but you can still see those red eyes when you play him or in the main menu screen. so... I don't know why they wouldn't have removed Jin's tat just for the ending?

Jin also acknowledges the devil gene being gone ...

But he still has the tattoo.

Here, he's definitely talking to his mother. I'm sure we'll meet again, him acknowledging she's not there.

Then he says this, talking aloud again when... nobody's around? Who the heck could he be talking to? He acknowledged his mother isn't around, so he can't be returning with her. Is he talking to the bird? "Everybody" refers to his friends, but who's "us"? We don't see Xiao or anyone around. So this leads me to believe he's talking to Devil.

DJ's status is set as "unknown" on his wiki. But he does, curiously, have a cause of death

The same one as DK and Azazel. But like I said, Jin talking aloud when seemingly nobody else is around and the tat remaining (whilst Kazuya's red eyes don't)... it's just suspicious to me. And I'm not inhaling copium, DJ can stay Gone Forever if he wants, but I just don't think we can totally rule out he's alive bc of these parts of the ending...

@therelentless liked this post for a one liner

"Can I help you out of this?"

[originemesis]

// ayo, I'm always up for plotting in a post season 1/ fallen Adam @ verse ; // dead on arrival

Aka, basic Adam later wakes up in hell verse and finds he's not only fallen, but also the cannibals have recently been eating away at him.

'Bout his form:

Will have his helmet back, but it's pieced back together with what looks like angel blood, so all the cracks are glowing. The mask itself is defective and glitches out in the eyes depending on the kind of frequencies he encounters or creates via his guitar ax.

The cannibals ate one of his wings, so he doesn't quite fly anymore- but he can still step off ledges and sort of hover a moment/glide down. The feathers are not as shiny/dulled down and look more like brass over gold.

Basically wears open shirts and jackets to accommodate his ribs which are exposed since the cannibals mostly ate that area of him. The middle of the rib cage/ sternum is gone, and his ribs are pried open farther and wider than usual. The two diamonds that were floating in his halo are now floating, suspended inside the empty torso with the bottom one stained in angel blood. He might have an ability with his ribs where they work like a pair of jaws and can spread apart as well as clamp down like a bear trap. One rib is notably broken off...

His other abilities seem to be centered around music/noise, and he can create 'riffs' of concentrated bass energy that can knock most things out of the sky and make them very uncomfortable in the process.

We’re at the stage in fic writing where I needlessly add context and backstory to characters who are all already dead before the story started. In other news, guess how many dead parents there are in the taxonomy!verse?

We have Bette’s dead dad and (surprise!) not-dead-but-should’ve-been-dead adoptive mom.

Tom’s dead mom. She’s only mentioned for a couple panels but you bet your ass I’m adding so much tragedy there. Especially since it’s more recent compared to most of these other ones.

We have the adoptive parents (my ocs) of Damian that raised him for only a few years before the League got to them. (SotD!!!)

We have the highly specific version of Willis and Catherine Todd that I made in my head. They’re actually really sweet, which adds to the tragedy of Jason’s life, and also adds some stuff to his particular POV chapters in Chiroptera.

Finally, various parental figures (and sibling figures) from the League that taught Damian things. (This lad fit so many dead family members in his childhood!! That he actively blocks from his memory!!)

(Not even counting the dead parent smorgasbord of freshly-dead Bruce, the Graysons, and the Drakes).

We have fun here.

I’d add more context for you all as to the actual headcanons and histories I’m creating - but spoilers… I don’t want to ruin any build up for the fic series.

nobody asked for this but i've thought about it too much | kalma + clothes your character would wear to a ball

florals and natural off-whites. simple lines with complex layers. pale greens that bring out her eyes. lines of intricate buttons. stiff brocade.
