#Ironing Out The Kinks

[lexplosion]

😭THE FINAL CHAPTER IS HERE 😭

I can’t believe it’s finally complete.

Merlin gets hit with a spell meant for Arthur. The only way to dispel it is by discovering and partaking in all of his kinks.

Arthur insists on being the one to help Merlin. Let the chaos and smut begin~

There’s plot I swear I’m just not good at summaries.

Hi I have a question on ur rival childhood friend au, how did dream went to neather and how exdee will react when he found out? (react that his son went missing?) Wanna know the story.

Oooh this is a great question! Okay this is going to be a little long so we'll go chronological. So Exdee finding out his son has gone missing, and Dream landing in the Nether. Well he wasn't happy that's for sure. As far as he knows, one moment Dream was there, and then the next:

As to why he's gone missing... I've been going back and forth with it being either enemies of the End, or another god jealous that Exdee created non-mob life, and wanted to take it for themselves. (Could be both idk at the moment ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) Dream would have been something incredibly powerful if he'd stayed as a "demi-god" but now that he's a player - godhood is firmly out of his hands. Something about him being part of all three(?) gods' domains now. Closest thing he could get to that was to become an Admin (which is something similar to being a Warlock - where you have a patron god granting you the power to change your chosen world). Back to Exdee- He raged for days, tearing the End apart looking for his boy; side note - the End used to be a huge continent, which uh... when I say he tore it apart - there's a reason why the End is now a collection of islands. After tearing through his realm he tried to tear through the other ones, which was firmly stopped by both the Nether God (?) and the Overworld God (Lady Death), who at this point have no idea what's set him off. All they could get out of him was: "My Dream, My Dream is gone."

Lady Death does get the story out of him after a while, where he begs her to check that Dream hasn't become a part of her domain. Which she confirms he hasn't. But neither has any idea where he could have ended up, since usually falling into the void sent you to the Overworld. So Dream is MIA for a while before he's suddenly pops into existence in the Nether. The Nether God does tell Exdee eventually (after Exdee gets word from an Enderman) but due to it not being Exdee's Domain, he just kinda has to sit and watch his kid get into trouble without being able to help. He's not okay for a long time.

i find it fascinating that we never followed through on the sylvari racism, or the norn's fight to get their home back, or the asura's societal response to primordus' death.

Something really great about the persona 2 cast is that they all individually fucking SUCK to talk to casually. Every single one of them. They are all infuriating. We have:

Tatsuya, who will stare at you blankly if you try to initiate conversation (IS) and will dip without saying a word afterward (EP)

Batsuya, who will scoff and brush you off/otherwise act dismissive

Eikichi, who might honestly be the best to talk to in the IS crew and that is not saying much, who WILL talk extremely loudly over you (probably not on purpose?) and will not be paying particularly close attention to the conversation beyond whatever he wants to say (gets points for talking about his gf. gets points taken away for constantly talking about his gf)

Lisa, who will automatically assume bad faith and will be rude to you the entire conversation unless you manage to defuse her temper (good luck)

Jun, who is uncommunicative at BEST and requires an encyclopedic knowledge of flowers, metaphor and body language just to get a HINT on what he’s thinking, and who will be extremely polite but completely unhelpful. If you tried asking him what he wants for dinner I guarantee it will be the longest 30 minutes of your life as he goes “oh I have no opinion :) whatever you want. :))” EXCEPT HE DOES HAVE OPINIONS. He has SO MANY OPINIONS. He is Expecting you to be able to pick up on his “obvious” clues. He will be passive aggressive if you don’t. (Jun babygirl you suck so bad I love u)

Maya, who is a delight but will very quickly become grating if you try to talk to her about anything serious as she hits you with the white suburban mom's "how to live a happy, healthy life" lifecoach slogans. You can’t even mention, like, stepping in a puddle or something without her hitting you with the positivity beam.

Yukino is great actually. 10/10. She’s fabulous we love her. Incredible conversationalist, chill and fun and easy to get along with. But she’s from Persona One, she doesn’t Count.

Ulala, who WILL bring up her relationship problems in every conversation within 10 minutes at least once. Any longer and she will start talking about Maya.

Do I even need to explain Baofu. Have you seen him.

And finally, Katsuya, who is a cop and a kiss ass and Very Obvious about these things. Also he can't talk to women. He can barely talk to men. Help Him.

And yet they all work wonderfully as a group. They are so annoying I love them

Mmm... Recently turned non-human character (I'm thinking like a ghost, a puppet, A ROBOT 👀) that is just convinced they don't need to eat anymore since their body is no longer human. It just makes sense. From time to time, they can still hear their belly rumbling, they daydream of food, but it's surely just a trick of their mind. They must be imagining it, they probably just miss food and are experiencing some kind of placebo effect because of that. So they keep going without having a bite. Eating is a human thing, and they're not human anymore.

It's only when another character (Someone of the same species, an expert their species, or simply a person that has heard the constant pleading of their neglected tummy) points out that they do need to eat that they realice it wasn't their imagination after all.

(This is B.oothill to me btw. Non canon compliant but in my heart the other person is A.rgenti)

tony's been messing around with a new AI dedicated for the suit. FRIDAY is a good girl, but is too prone to engage kill mode, so to speak, so tony has been feeding battle information and data into a new program for a while. and if recently he's been fighting a lot besides one friendly neighborhood spidey, that shouldn't make a difference.

and then tony decided to develop it further, creating a program that will analyze and make decisions based off how it's recognized tony making decisions previously. so Tony throws is a bunch of footage from the lab. and Peter is always in the lab. which, again, shouldn't make a difference.

except that AI isn't bug-free, and tony really wants to fuck Peter.

so when FRIDAY tells him he's needed in the lab, and tony casually strolls down to find Peter pinned down over a workbench, pants around his ankles, getting fucked between two suits, Tony knows it's his fault.

he knows, even though the mug of coffee in his hand falls through his fingers and shatters on the floor, that he fed the AI too much, and it figured out too much. Peter sobs out a Mr. Stark, please before his eyes roll back and he comes for the nth time, a puddle of white on the tile between his legs, and tony knows he'll never forget that, even though he knows hes a monster.

he stutters through his override, a full fifteen seconds of processing later, and Peter sobs when the robots stop holding him down and step away. theres red around his wrists and tear tracks down his cheeks. his hole is gaping open. Tony watches it clench around nothing before he remembers he should be taking care of his mentee like a good mentor instead of wanting to plunge three fingers into his cunt and hear him wail.

"they just keep going," peter mumbles, delirious, as Tony gathers him in his arms. he pressed his face into Tony's neck. "just...ah. no matter what. i tried to, to get away but--"

"shhh, it's okay now. you don't have to think about it anymore."

Peter peels away from Tony's skin and looks at him with wide, teary, empty eyes. "it felt so good, Mr. stark. Even when it was bad." he shivers, goosebumps under Tony's hand. "thank you, sir."

tony doesn't ask if peter is thanking him for the override, or because he knows that tony made those machines hold him down and fuck him until his vital got so out of control it procked FRIDAYs safety protocols.

flight gel and oil smears down Peter's thighs in thick globs, plat plat plat on the tile, on tony's leather dress shoes. "i'm so sorry," tony says, because he can't think of anything else to say, but Peter is already limp and pliant in his arms, knocked out.

later, Tony reviews the footage. 142 minutes -- not all penetrative, lots of foreplay, all of which Peter had desperately tried to get away from until roughly the 45 minute mark. peter came seven times. he started crying after the third.

Tony is a monster.

"FRIDAY, review the footage again."

Season 2 of Joy of Life was not quite vibing with me the same as Season 1 - UNTIL the awkward luncheon where Fan Xian poisons the 2nd Prince. That entire episode was flawless - and reconnected me with the main characters as well as the 1st Prince and the Xi Princess.

But episode 14 has brought back the Shakespearean quality to the show… with the arrested swordsman… who we find out wants to go to old timey college! Ya’ll!!!

This scene was so profoundly moving to me and so well acted… with these two men giving performances of a lifetime.

When the dude has confirmed his dreams are shattered, he asks for a book…

And his buddy has one ready!

He tells him the 2nd Prince predicted he would ask for it. And now I am instantly conflicted about the 2nd Prince who promises to send his henchmen to college and gives them books?!

The body language! The acting chops on these guys! The way he touches then hugs the book!!!

And that last reach… the goodbye…

His buddy walks away from the cell only to walk back, now breaking down his professional stoicism and asking how they’ve been treating him in prison and does he have good food… and the other dude waves him off… now focused on the book… until the other guy is gone and then he cradles the book and cries!!!

Ugh. My heart!

I have rewatched this scene three times and am applauding how much was conveyed in such a simple and short scene.

And just like that… I’m sucked back in and will be watching this show all weekend no doubt.

I'm being so serious when I say that Wilson domming the fuck out of House would bring some much-needed stability to their relationship and prove beneficial for both of them

Next chapter will be up some time later in the day Saturday EST! It is sitting at just over 14k as of right now and still isn’t done 💀. Plus I have to edit it 😅. So it should be up earlier in the day than usual but not by too much.

You were probably already asked this regarding your au. But would the reveal of Scratch’s human self play into your Brighton Bay AU in some way or is Scratch one hundred percent a sea beast? (I saw that one post you wrote and I can guess the ‘forget Molly’ thing would NOT show up in the AU.)

This is something I've thought about a lot, especially now after the series finale, I'm so happy you asked me this /gen

The answer to "is scratch 100% a sea beast" is both yes and no, let me explain

Sea beasts have the ability to curse humans to become sea beasts themselves (hence why Molly can become a beast whenever she touches ocean water, Geoff only half cursed her) and usually they only do it as a last ditch effort to spite beast killers (I mean why wouldn't you want to say one last "fuck you" to the person who barged into your house and stabbed you repeatedly?)

To say that Scratch killed a sea beast to get cursed is an overstatement. Perhaps I'll make a fic about that one day

I've actually been brainstorming a way to implement his past into the AU since season 2 started. Just spoilers in advance, he can't ever become human again, those curses are permanent. (This isn't even to spite The End, they'd been permanent since me and a friend decided they were a thing)

I imagine after finding out who he was, he'd reunite with Adia eventually, travel the world with her for a while, then come back for a surprise stay at Brighton for a few weeks before going on their next great adventure. Who knows, maybe they'd even bring Molly along on one?
