"Still trying to intimidate me? Cute."
(ID: Kirby series fanart of Meta Knight and Galacta Knight based off of a couple dynamics template by @/ReddsMess on Twitter. Original template and source below the cut, as well as a HAL language variant. Top-left panel - high-angle shot of MK lit from above, standing firm and glaring up through his mask, his wings curled out and breaching the panel in places, subtitled "Well well..." Top-right panel - low-angle shot of GK lit from below, looming in the air and leering down through his mask, his wings curled out and his hands spread wide in challenge, both of which breach the panel in places, subtitled "Look who came to see me..." Bottom panel - MK & GK stand next to each other, the latter leaning towards the former and gently caressing the side of his mask with the back of one hand, grinning smugly and wrapping a wing around the knight, subtitled "My Knightmare." MK stands stiffly with his fists clenched at his sides, blushing vividly and glaring away from the warrior. A little flurry of white hearts emanate from GK, while one small one hovers above MK. END ID.)

An alternative idea for Hinata and Neji and the Hyuuga:
Hinata has never felt brave in her life. She has never felt brave or strong or revolutionary. She is only Hinata, Main Branch by inches and chance. (If Hizashi had beaten Hiashi that day... and when Hanabi is old enough to challenge Hinata– defeat is on her tongue. defeat is hanging above her head, senbon and kunai swinging.) She is only Hinata, and her clan's wrongdoings are too big for her. They will swallow her whole.
Except, there is Kiba, Shino, and Kurenai-sensei. Except, there is Uzumaki Naruto and the hope he inspires. Except, there is Haruno Sakura, spitting on fate. Except there are the Nine, and Konoha is cruel and just this once it brings nine together instead of driving them apart.
And there is Neji, missing out on freedom by chance and inches. With victory in his stance and defeat in his blood. The truth: Hizashi lost that day. The truth: Neji is powerful. The truth: Neji is genetically both Hiashi's nephew and son, and Hiashi's own children pale in comparison to his (fettered) skill. The truth: Neji exists in a grey space, too close to the Main House to be truly Branch House to its other members. The truth: if Hiashi could find it in him to bend, Neji would be the heir and Hinata the Branch House member and everyone knows it.
Neji nearly beats Hinata to death in the chuunin exams. Hinata doesn't feel brave or strong then. She doesn't even feel afraid, afraid of what her failure will mean or of the death hanging above her head. She's just Hinata, tired. But here is the problem: Hinata, tired, is a different girl compared to Hinata, awake. And she's tired of everything very suddenly– all of it! Everything the Hyuuga were and are and will be! She tired of her father and her sister and even especially Neji, who is hurting her as if it will change anything while preaching that fate is unshakable.
A seemingly unrelated piece of information: Hinata is teammates with Inuzuka Kiba and Akamaru both. She spends as much time as possible with her teammates instead of her family. The Inuzuka haven't put away the futon Hinata borrows during sleep-overs for months. So: Hinata sleeps in the den of dogs.
So: Hinata, tired, bites.
Hinata has to be taken to the hospital in the end, half her body broken and her ribs puncturing her lungs. But Neji goes to the hospital too. He has large gash in the side of his head, his shoulder looks mauled and part of his left ear is missing. Neji cut her hair with deliberately aimed kunai in the beginning of their match, to humiliate and shame her. When Hinata is dragged to the hospital, there are long strands of hair on the ground along with hers. Neji cut Hinata's hair with deliberate action and precise aim. Hinata bit her cousin to the bone and ripped his hair out.
In another world, a month later Uzumaki Naruto would bring down Neji's view of unshakable fate. In this one, Neji considers the facts: He was always going to win, he who was strong and Hinata who was not. But another fact: Neji is in the hospital with bite marks that the doctors in the hospital won't use medical ninjutsu on in fear of exacerbating the bacteria found in human saliva. They will take months to heal fully and leave thick, raised scar tissue in their wake. The fact: Hinata was always going to lose. The truth: if he was just a moment slower, if she had bitten two inches to the left and one up– Neji would have lost. He would have died, bled out from a punctured throat, just like she would have died if she had been an inch to the right, from the strike he had prepared to snap her spine.
Neji considers fate in his hospital room. Hinata considers stagnation in hers.
The fate of the Hyuuga clan shifts by inches and chance.
