#Sensitive Assassin

[canisalbus]

To me, Machete kind of has the energy of a secondary villain/coldhearted side character in someone else's story that a lot of fans latch onto, moreso than the protagonist. Question is, would he be the villain in anyone's story?

Why, thank you! I'm actually glad to hear he gives off that vibe. I don't think he set out to become a villain but a lot of people certainly view him as one.

My incredibly. Abhorrently. Awfully late gift to the wonderful @justdreamingzzz ! I'm so sorry it took so long, ended up needing some pinch hitters after the deadline and thought it would be too late to ask the many awesome pinch hitters that volunteered.

I do hope you can forgive me! I tried fulfilling your Roleswap prompt as best as I could! I always pictured that Snoke would use Hux as more of an assassin than a tank. Which definitely influenced me to see them as playing similar roles that Ventress and Grievous played for Count Dooku. So when I remembered this scene I just had to draw them in it!

Kylo is disillusioned with the republic and bitter at how his parents have failed not only the galaxy, but him specifically. However since his force abilities are incredibly faint, relegated to mostly help him manipulate people, faster reflexes and sensing emotions, useful, but not powerful enough to consider extra attention from his uncle, who still looks at him with fear in his eyes. An ear pressed against a door and a hushed conversation telling him his uncle is happy at how weak he is, considering he reminds him so much of his grandfather.

This series of events, accompanied by strange dreams about a voice telling him he can be useful, can make a difference, can be respected and wanted, have him defect to the First Order. He finds the voice in his dream to be the enigmatic Supreme Leader, a man who sees the talent, strength and intellect he has, and wishes to use it to better the galaxy. Whether it wants it or not.

Years later, after having risen through the ranks and proven all of the old guard exactly why the Supreme Leader not only made him the youngest general in the Order's history, but his right hand man, he is awarded his first command in the Finlaizer.

It is also there that he finds out Snoke's second hand also exists. An assassin, blessed not only with the force, but a strong intellect and cunning to rival his own.

I’m typically not one of the “CX-2 is tech” people who goes through every episode looking for proof, but did anyone else notice that Phee specifically mentions the hidden cavern entrance being the reason she was able to land on Pabu undetected by the empire, meaning it’s by and large a secret about the island (but one that the Bad Batch know about). When CX-2 infiltrated Pabu last week, he also landed his ship in the caverns near the beach. How would he know about the caverns when the empire has never taken interest in Pabu before?

It seems my disappearance from the LiMerge building has finally been noted. It was... expected. How long did it take, between my master noticing and eventually deciding to send assassins after me?

I find myself flattered. Two score mercenaries, a quarter of them force sensitive, and a handful of them mandalorian, beskaryc. If he had come in person, I would have felt it and fled, but that he sent such a strong showing is... oddly touching.

I feel known. Thank you for the fight, my lord. They are dead.

Hey i am back with a thought.

I know we already mentioned like. The future future plans concerning kids in the New Age storyline.

I was thinking. Who would carry/get the kid in the couples? (Yes this implies mpreg. If this aint your thing no worries you can just ignore everything else :3 )

As you mentioned before. Nightmare and error would most likely adopt.

Between dream and blue i think blue would end up carrying the kid. Dream would feel too locked up and locked down if he had to take it easy. Also. Let this man pamper Blue. He deserves that.

Ccino and Killer. Ccino wouldnt want kids for a LONG time and even just the idea would be slow going. But killer has his soul situation (is that also a situation in this story?) And he is a knight being out and about. Ccino is safely at home and would be the safer option. But they would need a long time before ccino would feel comfortable with the idea.

Horror and Crop. Crop. Hands down. Horror with his work and Crop has help on the farm. But i doubt thwy would get a kid because they have along distance relationship.

Cross and Lust it depends on who wants it more. I can see both being the one who does it mostly because i can see pros and cons for both sides.

Reaper, Geno and Dust. Only one option. Reaper. Dust doesnt have a healthy enough soul and that with his spell around it? No way he can carry a kid. Geno meanwhile only has a soulshard so he isnt healthy enough to carry a kid either. Leaving only Reaper as an option.

Okay that was it. :D

Haha! Omg I keep forgetting this is smth I can think about! Usually it's not my scene so it might not cone up much in-stiry but it IS how I picture the cast having kids in this one, so!!! We're diving in!!

Like u said, those boys are adopting hehe-

With Dream and Blue it's a bit hard, because I think that Dream would be really really worried about Blue the entire time. Like, terrified his magic would accidentally trigger the whole Twin thing. But, ultimately, yeah, probably Blue! Dream *would* get too restless, and Blue rlly does deserve to be pampered hehe- (I just think Blue would have to really really talk Dream into it. Dream does NOT want to be like his mother anymore.)

Killer and Ccino... let's go with a yes on Killer's soul situation, so Ccino would be their only option. But, like you said, it would be ages before they even thought about discussing the idea, let alone actually having a kid.

Ohhh yeah. I see Horror and Crop as the ones least likely to have kids (as u said, long Distance relationship, but also they just have to much on their plates? They're practical guys and focus on their work and existing families first. Plus, someone has to be the cool uncles to their nieces and nephews!) But definitely Crop. Especially because Horror is pretty low on natural magic as-is and even though his soul is healthy, his body might not even be able to form a firm ecto, let alone anything safe to harbor a forming soul. (Unlike Ccino, Horror was born that way, and the injury didn't help lmao-)

Cross and Lust? I think they'd both regularly get baby fever, but neither of then would be ready to settle down for a *while* in that way, so I think they'd push off the question until years later. Then when it comes up, they 'fight' over it. Insisting that they should carry- I think they'd end up choosing Cross though! As much as Lust seems like the more convenient option, as he's not a knight, Cross is just built different and insists that if anything goes wrong he wants to be the one it happens to. Which, ofc, leads to him doing training whilst in the early stages until someone (probably Killer or Dust) notices he's a little off and then Cross admits he's got a soulling. He did not expect to immediately get horrified looks (because they were fighting someone with a lil guy inside them, not because he has a lil guy) or to immediately get ushered out of training and to his room because??? Idiot??? What were you thinking??? Cross is the worst at staying off his duties, but his brother's have him covered, thank god-

And yep, put perfectly! Reaper is so genuinely the only option! It leads to some odd interactions, since Reaper can't exactly stop being King, but he manages shockingly well and has Geno there to help him (and probably later on Dust, since Night isn't about to leave Dust out of that due to work-) And. I like to think these three in particular have multiple kids perhaps, Kane and then another, and it's kinda a running joke that Reaper's the one hauling them around lmao- (Also very convenient! Because Reaper is the one with death magic in his soul, the kids are effectively immune to it! They were made from that stuff basically, so ofc they're fine!)

It's 4:30 in the morning, and Assassination Classroom has taken over my thoughts. I want to go back and rewatch it, but I can't do it without crying. Yes, I'm a crybaby, but that ending hurts your feelings! Iykyk

(And happy Halloween 🎃)

[fanworldbuildingfun]

When one starts thinking about what is now called isekai, one gets to thinking about it in relation to their favourite fandoms

Or, in other words: I do love to see Desmond pulling a foot time travel. I have written before about clothing and scents

But, shall we speak about something more mundane now?

Food

Or, specifically, sugar

(...this is not at all inspired by the comparisons of EU and US versions of the same food that I have watched recently, why do you ask?)

With sugar being so easily available these days, and used in so many products - imagine how hard Desmond would crash. Not at once. Not immediately

But there will come a time where the craving would get terrible. And fruit? Well. They can stave it for a time. Just they aren't always the cheepest

Honey? Good honey is on the pricier side even now, so unless you have access to a hive, it's not a regular thing

In short: give me a Desmond who gets caught because he was lured in by the sweet sweet promise of candy

[vipier-a]

please , just let me explain myself .

THOSE WHO BUILT TRISTAN BRICK BY BRICK HAD NEVER INTENDED FOR HIM TO BE REASONABLE. within his suit of skin, inside the child he had once been, they had instead carved a creature of instinct, with thoughts engineered so quickly that he loses not a moment of valuable reaction time to them. they had cast no mind to the value of the art of restraint, focused instead only on creating a living weapon from the body of one too young to remember any other past. the horror he has become is that of their own making, a blight upon the galaxy released by those arrogant enough to assume they could keep him caged. as far as he knows, he is the only one of his kind remaining, an unholy concoction both biological and mechanical, something that should never have existed. some distant human part of him realizes @ofsoul could not have known. the rest of him simply does not care.

he crouches as far away from her as he can against the wall of his own ship like some feral creature, lip curled to reveal unnervingly sharpened canines, eyes wide and wild with something bordering both fear and fury. he has never felt himself mortal enough to experience fear. yet instinctively tristan understands the chill coursing through his veins, what it means, which only enflames the undefinable anger that blooms in him like hungry flame. what was that, the sensation, the searing in his head, the voice? he would move to strike, he knows, if he could determine what exactly it was he was dealing with. something has convinced him that she was in his head, a prospect that practically paralyzes him, leaves him with a lingering inability to act, as though he cannot properly access his own body in response. always has he seemed even to himself more machine than man, but somehow, that trace of humanity has seized him, made him ineffectual.

" I should tear out your pretty throat where you stand, witch! " he growls, unable to grasp for another word to properly describe what he feels she's done to him. his breath comes in short bursts and the burning in his veins indicates a release of toxic adrenaline he hadn't been able to control. with a grunt, he removes a stim and shoves the needle into his leg without flinching, his gaze not moving from her for an instant even as he clings to his composure. " what did you do. what did you do. ANSWER ME! "

i keep thinking about the hz dub because of the "season 2" announcement, and no shade to her VA i actually think dot's english VA is great, but i HATE how she's directed to act in the dub. i can't stand thinking about people not knowing what dot's actually supposed to be like

the change of making her frustrated/irritable/grouchy in the original to full on being angry and yelling at people way more often in the dub is genuinely so uncomfortable. i don't have much interest in the dub anyway but that completely prevents me from watching it. i hate it

episode 8 of the dub makes me so insanely uncomfortable in particular. she deserves better than whatever the fuck TPCi is on

if I remember right they are releasing the full info about jfk's assassination next year and I am So excited

Day eleven

Warning: severe child abuse. You can read the original inspiration in We Were Born For This by saberamane.

Desmond often dreamed about what it would be like if he could permanently live with Master Kenway rather than on the farm. He enjoyed their time together even though now it was far less with his increased training regimen.

Then that night happened. It was honestly a bit of a blur for Desmond. He remembered vaguely something weird happening to his body, William catching him and severely punishing him. Breaking his hand, thankfully his non dominant hand, then making him run drills the rest of the night. He had to go to his lessons with the broken hand before he could see the healer, his mother.

And boy was she pissed. Not at Desmond, no. She told him that, that weird thing with his body was normal, and was a good sign, he was normal. No she was pissed that William went to such extremes because of one little incident.

Haytham Kenway saw red, and was damn grateful that Aldewe brought him the copy of the medical report Kayana took of Desmond's injuries. It wasn't enough just yet, cause he needed to catch the jerk in the act, but his time was coming soon.

No one: White British director, Polly Findlay: I should be the one to direct a color-blind cast production of Assassins. It should be me. I will reclaim white violence for The People.
