› ascended astarion x f! spawn tav

› word count : 2k+

› sorry but his ascended lines do something to me >.< & I finally felt brave enough to post this after my 200+ game hours (also im open to astarion requests btw :3)

warnings : mdni. compulsion. noncon elements. posessive behavior. angst ish. fingering. toxic relationship. reader has hair long enough to brush off shoulders. reader wears a revealing dress. pet names (dear, darling, little love, ect.). oral f receiving. he calls you dinner sorry lol

This is the first time he's ever done this, compelled you.

If heat could still pool beneath your skin, anger more akin to molten lava beneath the surface, surely it would have. He broke his promise to you, the small thread of security that allowed you to go along with becoming a spawn. You also want to weep, wish tears could well freely in your eyes and track down your cheeks.

But even that is denied to you. Instead you're rooted to the spot, the marble flooring devoid of any echoing footsteps and the air hanging thick with frightening anticipation.

You can't reflexively jump when his lithe fingers move your hair from your shoulders, brushing your own equally icy skin. Much of your body is routinely on display for the vampire ascendant, something else you've always swallowed your displeasure on. There is also the absence of a gasp as his hand grips the back of your neck, an odd pantomime of a mother cat carrying its kitten by the scruff.

"Tell me," he asked, "do I not give you a life of constant pleasure?"

The words slip from your mouth unbidden. "Yes."

"Haven't I made sure you want for nothing?"

Again. "Yes."

His grip tightens, forcing your head to the side a bit and you wish you could wince.

"Then why, my little love, are you so insistent on acting like an ungrateful brat?" He spits out the question, forcing you to meet his ruby gaze by turning your head himself. You've never felt more doll-like, a petulant child.

"You compelled me. Forbade me from going outside the palace bounds. It upsets me that I cannot see our friends and companions. It upsets me that you broke your promise." Your affect couldn't be flatter, a dizzying contrast to how much pain you truly felt inside, a cruel effect of compulsion.

The dining room is quiet, thick with tension as he seemingly takes in your reasoning in silence.

The laughter that bursts from his lips is harsh, not because it's forced or hollow, but because it's real, legitimate laughter. He releases you to cross his arms, chortling so much tears well in his eyes. It makes something absolutely hideous twist in your gut, watching his display as if your feelings were nothing but the realms crassest joke.

All the while you stand statuesque, frozen and seething as your lover mocks you.

"Don't be stupid, darling. You're mine, remember?" Astarion caressed your jaw, positioning himself front and center in all your senses. "Your future has been mine to decide the moment that little worm was ousted from our heads."

Your eyes catch the scar on the side of his neck, bite marks like a twin to your own. Something else inside you is dying, a slow march, and soon the Crimson Palace will be more like your mausoleum than your home.

"Yes."

"Good," he pauses, seemingly sizing you up for reasons unclear, "Sit back. On the tabletop, darling."

Your movements are automatic, body and mind completely untethered from one another in terms of control. An anxiety grips your mind, sharp fingers digging into your brain and you perch on the vast, ornate table.

"Mhm, you know, I didn't get to finish my meal since you decided to spoil dinner with your silent sulking." His smile is a wicked thing. "But I do think we should move on to dessert now anyway."

One hand slides up the revealing slit of your dress, icily fondling your flesh and slowly inching upwards before his fingers are brushing along the seam of your underwear. All you can do is remain frozen, legs spread, as if you were a plaything for him to pose and contort any way he pleased. You suppose that's all you might be now.

"How about an... even trade, of sorts? In exchange for forgiving this little trespass with no punishment, you agree not to question my decisions."

Its not fair, the answer isn't truly your own. "A deal, yes."

A contented sigh leaves him as his index finger rubs up and down your clothed cunt, but his eyes are sharp and you know it's not lost on him how damp your underwear is. When he grins again those fangs are on full display, exaggerated by the shadows cast from the flickering candlelight.

It breaks your heart that he's as beautiful as ever, that still the baser parts of you can't help but desire him.

His plush lips find yours with comfortable familiarity, the perfect genius of their synched movement a testament to how much time he's spent mapping your mouth, committing it to memory. As you slip your arms around his neck you realize the compulsion is gone, but desire keeps you rooted in place, enjoying the feeling of his wandering, groping hands.

Forcing yourself to forget for selfish pleasure is surprisingly easy, a skill you've cultivated the past few months.

You gasp into his mouth as his fingers slip past your underwear, swiping through your wetness before lazily circling your already aching clit. The stimulation makes your hips jerk, chasing his hand for more friction but his other presses firmly against your hip to keep you still.

"Don't be gluttonous dear. I'm the one who didn't get to finish my dinner." He whispers against your parted lips, trailing sloppy open mouthed kisses down the column of your throat, the exposed tops of your breasts, until he's sunk to his knees in front of you.

As he lifts the skirt of your dress you lay back against the heavy polished oak table, and if your heart could race it would be galloping out of your chest in anticipation. Thankfully Astarion doesn't keep you waiting long, he was true to his word that there was no punishment this time as he pulled down your underwear and trailed chaste kisses from your calf, your thighs, all the way to your soaked cunt as you squeezed your eyes shut.

"My delicious little treat," he murmured, his breath fanning across your skin, making you clench around nothing right before he placed a kiss to your clit.

The smallest of moans escaped you and it was enough to encourage him, tongue swiping through your arousal as his fingers prodded at your entrance. When he sucked against your clit your back arched off the table and every noise became amplified: the way you were panting, the slick slurping sounds of his mouth working against you, the squelching as two fingers slid inside you to start scissoring against your spongy walls. The cacophony was enough to make your head spin as your hands flailed downward, looking to grasp any part of him you could reach.

Grasping at his alabaster hair you cry out his name, with the same reverence one would use to call out to a god, and it only spurs him on. He groans against you as your hips start to rise, chasing the stimulation from his tongue and feeling the first embers of climax catching in your abdomen.

"Please -" tears slip down your cheeks as his fingers increase their pace, his tongue devouring you ceaselessly and you nearly choked on your own cries as your thigh muscles tense impossibly tight.

Your legs shake against his shoulders as your fingers scrape against his scalp, the embers now transformed into a roaring pyre, burning you from the inside out as the edges of your mind start to peel from the internal heat and pressure. You squirm recklessly, mouth hung open in a silent cry as your upper half rises off the table.

Slowly you lay back, struggling to control your muscle tremors and with one final kiss to your throbbing clit, that makes you yelp, Astarion pulls back, draping your skirt back in place and slipping your underwear in his pocket.

"You see, I can be quite forgiving darling. Just don't push it in the future."

[gyu-effect]

i was thinking what if the s/o of one of the members ( you choose who :D ) was sat next tk their group during the MAMA awards and how both groups would try get you too to sit next to each other and interact, knowing the relationship isnt public yet :)

PAIRING || Jihoon x Female Reader

GENRES || Fluff, Idol!Jihoon, Idol!Reader

WARNINGS || mentions of killing (as a joke)

WORD COUNT || 1.0k

A/N || hi anon! i hope you like this timestamp. it was really fun to write and the first person that came to my mind when i saw your request was jihoon and totally not because im going through a ruby brainrot. but yeah it was fun writing about down bad jihoon on the verge of strangling seventeen. requests are open !!!

TAGLIST || ​@romeosbreastmilk @y00nzin0 @cecedrake2217 @candidupped @ashkuuuu @hanicore @alyssng @weebotakuboy @angelfeverdream @aaniag @sea-moon-star @thepoopdokyeomtouched @amethyistheart @mnstxmnbb [if you want to be added to my taglist, fill in this form!]

[23:09]

did jihoon like, no love, sitting next to you? yes, absolutely. especially when you were looking so drop dead gorgeous in your outfit, making it hard for him to concentrate on what was going on stage and to not steal glances at you continuously. 

but did he like the fact that his members and your members had on purpose saved the two of you seats right next to each other when they had learnt that the two groups would be sitting next to each other? of course not.

on any other day he would have been thrilled to be able to sit next you, to hold your hands as he tried not to laugh at some lame joke you had made. 

but now, during an award show, especially mama, he was not at all happy about it. especially when he had to pretend like he was not at all affected by you. he thought he was a master in controlling his emotions but turns out that all his placidness could easily be crumbled by you.

“hi.” you whispered a bit awkwardly, smiling at him in an apologetic manner, clearly embarrassed by your own members too. 

oh, pearls looked great on your hair. maybe he should gift you a pearl hairband the next time-

“hi.” he said, remembering that he had to greet you back. he could already feel his cheeks heating up from the way you were looking at him, and he immediately turned his attention back on to the stage, not wanting to embroil the two of you in a scandal. 

“you look really handsome, by the way.” 

shit. 

glaring once at junhui (who was sitting right next to him) for snickering in the rather obvious way, he reached out for the water bottle. taking in a sip, he prayed for his heart rate to slow down, hammering away in his chest because of your compliment.

jihoon dearly wished it was him who had complimented you first because it was you who looked so, so beautiful and elegant and pretty. had it been the usual dinner dates the two of you always managed to squeeze in between your tight schedule, he was sure he would have been staring at you the whole time and probably be putting in empty spoons into his mouth. 

in fact, had you been sitting anywhere else, it would have been easier for him to steal glances at you (he thinks).

but right now he was just so flustered by the situation that he could not even think straight. not only was he controlling the urge to strangle his members who had for some reason (now it was very obvious to jihoon as to what the reason was) had run to catch seats before he did but he also was dying to not blurt out right in front of the cameras about how pretty you are. (though he was pretty sure that by now if anyone were to pan the camera in his way, anyone with a pair of eyes could see the awkwardness between the two of you).

“um, you too.” he muttered, exhaling hard. to his surprise, he heard you giggle, causing him to look at you in surprise. 

“sorry, it’s just that…you’re really cute when you’re flustered, you know.” you smiled at him, and for a second, he nearly forgot that he was out in public and that he had to control his emotions.

“oh my god, i don’t think i’ve seen jihoon this lovesick before.” soonyoung said, snapping him back to the present. 

“guys, i’m going to kill you.”

“you threaten to kill us everyday.” mingyu complained, earning another giggle from you. did your giggles always sound this cute?

“i do not.”

“yeah, he does not!” you argued back, with a fake glare. jihoon always loved how his members and you got along so well but right now, he felt like his heart was going to burst with love for you. “jihoon is an absolute sweetheart!”

“um, babe, i would really appreciate it if you didn’t compliment me so much right now…since we are in public.” he muttered, looking down in an attempt to cool down his heated cheeks. 

“oh my- oh my. is jihoon blushing?” seungkwan asked and by now, jihoon had abandoned all his plans on killing his members and instead resorted to hoping the ground would just swallow him up as a whole. 

“ooh, now even the camera is on the two of you!” one of your members, joohyun, snickered. 

“you wish.” you said. “it’s on all of us. watch the headlines talk about how close we are with seventeen.”

“is that so?” jeonghan asked and to jihoon’s horror, he could see the cogs in his brain literally moving. “then everyone shut up so that only jihoon and y/n are on camera, okay? but just keep egging them on to get them to interact.”

“respect our privacy please.” jihoon glared, but all he got was his beloved members laughing. grumbling, he turned his attention back to the stage, hoping they would soon get tired of it. 

they did stop with the teasing after some time, but the effect of their previous teasing was still lasting. jihoon could still feel his cheeks blazing from before, his heart going at a hundred kilometres per hour. 

and as when he went to receive an award and saw you cheer louder than anyone in the crowd, he felt a sudden surge of love for you. because he was dating you. you, who was a goddess in his eyes. you, who loved him so, so much. him and you, who the members supported so much and he was always grateful to them. you, whom he loved and treasured so much but sans few, no one else knew.

and as he walked back to his seat and was greeted by your beaming, proud face, jihoon suddenly had a thought. maybe, maybe it was a good thing your relationship wasn’t public yet. 

because there was certainly a thrill knowing what was the real reason for tomorrow's headlines of his group and your group being close.

Helllloo!!

I would like to request a senkuu x reader if possible! (Preferably some angst + romance but anything works!) Been looking for some inspiration and I love your work!

Also hopefully you're okay if I draw some of your work too

Thank youuuu!! (>u<)/

im okay with you drawing my work! saw some of ur art, and wow! glad ur a fan tehee :33 i see you've given me an angst plot, with romance? yes i will definitely fulfill this. i waaaassss ssupposed to make this action filled with scene wit reader dying in battle of treasure island arc and senku going "WHAT" and head in hands and sobbing and the gang has to go back to the mainland hat on stomach like ":(" but exams and research defense finished and i also jus watched cute little vid of an old couple so this is jussttt hmmm a softer angst set between events ig

"ʟᴏᴏᴋ ᴍʏ ᴡᴀʏ."

[ꜱᴇɴᴋᴜ x ɢɴ!ʀᴇᴀᴅᴇʀ]

It wasn't really a secret. You didn't even try, honestly.

Since the first of times of where you'd glimpsed his face at school, to the latest catch of him swirling fluid in a beaker, you've always been confident in your feelings.

Albeit a bit clumsy in your attempts, you were honest, never mincing them, never embarrassed.

"Senku, I really really like you!"

"Yeah, okay, could you pass me that screwdriver?" he says, both of you 6 years old in his room, as he gestures to the tool beside you.

"Senku, I want to date you. I heard Aimi had a boyfriend recently and I was thinking-" your voice goes interrupted as the loud sound of Senku's machinery overpower yours. 13 years old, another one of his favorite past times.

"Senku, if we were both nobles in medieval fantasy and I had to marry someone in order to get a persistent suitor off my back, I'd go to you. Offer a contract with an eventual divorce, but then we fall in love in a slow burn romance and start rethinking about our agreement."

"Can you- just- HELP ME, DAMN IT." Senku heaves, 16 years old, face turning red as he struggles to hold the boxes of equipment you came to help him with.

All these confessions, all these words, even before everything changed. The clatter of a can hitting the ground.

...

In this new life, surely, you know, Senku's had an absolute goal for this world. To rebuilt it as it was, from his own two hands. In your own way, you've had to learn how to pace your feelings.

Instead of words, as you always did, you decided to translate your affections into a language that matters most in a time like this.

Actions.

For every problem, every step he takes, you take with him. Express your thoughts, concerns, ideas. Any progress, you're there to celebrate with, any process, you're there to assist.

Declarations of love aren't so frequent, though you do like to sneak it in rarely. Announcing it in bursts of passion at the top of your lungs. Quite an antic you do, much to his embarrassment. It's become a well known fact, and often a joke between company.

Though, sometimes you wonder if it's what makes him doubt it. Your overt confessions, cheesy poems and bustling energy that could rival Taiju's. Was it too clumsy? Too obvious that he feels it's an exaggerated farce for show?

To this, you whisper gingerly in the dead of night, in the earliest of mornings,

"Senku. I really really like you."

In the times of uneventful hours, peacefulness in comfortable silence,

"Senku,"

You know, of course you do, of all people.

No one knows him more than you and that fact would've made you happy of such a thing if it couldn't break your heart more. The love of your life, saying everything said in a language that matters most in this time.

An unreadable glance. When the sun beams down brightly and you stare at him lovingly like he's hung the stars in the sky.

Winter strikes mercilessly, days are rough, tensions are high. When everything's all good and done, a bold pinkie inches towards his own. He doesn't pull away, but his hand moves back just as further.

Late at night, behind the tree he leans upon, watching, just watching. His ruby eyes enraptured by the night's celestial pearl.

Gaze too high, to see you.

You close your eyes.

You don't think you can ever stop loving him, despite that. That man doesn't like dragging things out, so you're sure a rejection is soon to come. Whether you approach first or not.

Why he doesn't do it sooner? You know why. As much as he doesn't reciprocate, you know how hesitant he is when it comes to close relationships such as you. Is he scared of breaking your friendship?

It's not the warmth you're looking for, but it's the warmth you can get. Even so, you would never expect him to return just as much as you've given. You love him for him, and not for anything else.

Tragic, how terribly you do.

Maybe one day, you'll learn to forget, to move your heart from where it isn't supposed to be. Maybe one day, you would stop gazing at him with something much more than fondness, waiting for his eyes to find its way back to you.

But until then,

"-I love you."

[mygeekcorner]

and about that final panel

I mean I know this is the website that pisses on the poor but come on

I honestly can’t believe so many people in the tag are seeing that line and thinking that’s some sort of confirmation that we’re going an incesty route???

it’s been established from day one that Sarina has a crush on the Doctor, yes. But it has also been just as early established that he did not have any kind of romantic interest in her.

we’ve known all along that them having their old memories have led her to idolize her childhood crush on the only person to seemingly care about her, and she has done nothing to get over it. But also, what chances has she had to Get Over it? She’s been busy being a baby, watching her mum get killed, trying to navigate the struggles that come with being in the spotlight, trying to have a functioning family life with her new family, gaining interests and hobbies, making new friends. There has been No Time for romance! Of course that will lead her to hold on to the one crush she can remember having.

as for the doctors line about considering things once she turned 16? An easy way to gently turn down a dying child. That’s it. End. Period. He was being Kind, not a creep! How was he supposed to know that the sickly 12yo trying to confess to him in the last year she was estimated to live would end up reincarnated as a pretty idol years later who still harboured a crush? Nobody would expect that!

Aqua has never shown anything other than protective brotherly instincts when it comes to Ruby and I am sure that is still true, no matter what their old lives might have thought of each other. And Ruby has always been icked out by seeing Aqua in a romantic setting as well, which to me screams familiar but if shippers want to see it as jealousy go ahead, I’ve had worse logic for my ships before

That said I’m kind of proud of Ruby for finally confessing (again) now that she can. Just to get it off her chest, you know? Good on her. Honestly.

But also I can’t help but read that last line in a kind of joking manner, not sure if that’s their intent or just me, but it looks to me like she is trying to just win one over him by confessing one final time. Not as if she’s expecting something to come from it but more as a way to get the last word about how her crush back then should be treated.

And I mean, honestly, no matter Where this goes (though I still can’t see it going the incesty route no matter how convinced the poor antis are that it will) they just have a Very interesting character dynamic now that their two selves have merged and both know the others both sides. That’s gonna take some navigation and I am pumped to see how they do it!

[callsign-bunnie]

First of all OW

Second now all I can think about is an Spn/CoD crossover, what are your HC’s bunnie the people want to know!

Have a great day

Hmmm, so funnily enough, I've not thought of it that much. I'm not really a "these characters meet other characters" kind of gal when I do crossovers, HOWEVER, (warning: I HAVE NOT WATCHED PAST 13 AND I DON'T CARE TO. GABRIEL DYING WAS MY FINAL STRAW SO THAT EPISODE WAS THE LAST I EVER WATCHED)

Ghost flirts with Dean, Dean is not the player he once was because Ghost is way too young for him

For the record, Price is not and is his type, I am sure you can see where I'm going with this

Oh god, it's just hitting me that I've never actually talked about my SPN opinions on this blog so I have no idea what live fire I might be throwing myself in front of. Whatever, moving on

I'll match the characters up how I think they would go, being -Ghost and Gabriel (hear me out. Both use humor to cope, both were "forsaken" by their fathers, both had asshole siblings. Gabriel was a lot more serious in the later seasons after being traumatized, and I think he'd end up relating a lot more to Ghost and both would enjoy the dark humor the other can provide. Gabriel would LOVE that goldfish joke) -Farah would love Claire and adopt her as a younger sister (Speaking of! Claire is around Gaz's age :D) -Gaz would probably love Jack, I'm just saying -Valeria definitely heavily enjoyed Ruby's "I'm awesome" speech and would one hundred percent "girl boss" with her -I have opinions but I think Dean and Soap, but I think Dean would see himself in Soap and Soap wouldn't like how Dean treated Castiel. -Rudy and Castiel, I don't think I have to elaborate, here. (For the record, Rudy is also not getting along with Dean.) -Alex and Benny, for no other reason than they're both from around the same area and I think both would appreciate finally having another southerner around (that isn't Graves.) -AU Michael and Makarov, don't fight me on this one, you know I'm right. -I'm going to also say Dean and Alejandro, for obvious reasons -Sam and Price, both due to being closer in age and also because I think Price is secretly very nerdy -Laswell and Jody, but... I mean, that was obvious. They don't actually bond over being mother figures, Jody ends up bonding more with Price over that, it's more just... everything in their lives being so unsure because of their careers, even when Jody was just a cop. -I think Lucifer would fucking love Graves, but I don't think Graves would even like Lucifer. I think Lucifer would just be way too much for Graves, and Graves would very likely call him pathetic for being unable to keep a handle on hell and for whining all the damn time. (Also for being caught so easily and so frequently.)

I'm considering this more as Sam, Dean, and CO universe hopped to COD, so I'm just saying... no one is impressed by them, and then vice versa.

COD characters are not going to be intimidated by a bunch of civilians chasing monsters and the SPN characters don't consider war that scary when they've faced the apocalypse 80 bazillion times

There is also the age gap to take into consideration, I mean Gaz and Soap can't be older than thirty and I don't actually consider many of the characters even hitting the 35 mark.

I am also considering this as COD exists as a game franchise in SPN world, and SPN exists as a TV show in COD world, so they do know about each other.

So, I'm just saying, Dean is getting snide remarks from a few corners for his treatment of a few people. Gabriel and Castiel, especially, all points considered. I don't think Ghost, Soap, Gaz, or Rudy are letting it slide in any direction

Price doesn't care enough to stop them

Alejandro is just annoyed that even MORE people are in his base, and these ones happen to be civilians from another universe.

Despite getting along with them, however, neither Dean or Sam are allowed near Rudy. Hey, Alejandro's seen the show, he knows most of both of their shticks is flirting and fucking, he's good. (Cas is the one he has to watch out for, but he's unsuspecting because there's no way that nerd has a chance. Rudy is too loyal to his husband, but Cas definitely has a chance.)

Valeria is actively plotting how to use demons in her quest for power. You know she is already forming that alliance with Rowena

She doesn't like Lucifer enough.

Farah has already offered Claire and Alex (SPN) a home in Urzikstan, Alex (COD) has said he's unsure that'll work out.

Benny is just not allowed around anyone without respective partner there. I mean, look at him... you'd be worried too. I'd be worried. We'd all be worried.

--

Anyway, I'm very anxious to post this just because, again, I have no idea what I'm subjecting myself to. All I'm saying is, if you disagree with me... um... I didn't watch 14 or 15, so that's what I'm blaming that on. (Gabriel was my favorite character, do not be mean to him or Benny.)

Si Si can do!

TWDG Ericsson gang with an S/O that can drive

However that wouldn’t be a good this because as soon as this man gets behind the wheel oh boy your in for it

He’s speeding, hitting every walk he sees, and he’s blasting music out of the CD player

You both get into trouble for that because this man will accidentally crash the car.

He’s lot his right to drive so now your in full control again

This man is totally sulking because of it too.

Marlon

Ngl he’s not a big fan of it

He’s only worried that you and the others will think it’s a good idea to leave the safe zone

He’s really comfortable by it

But I’m sure after a few months of convincing, he’ll give in

He’ll let you go wherever but get that you be quick as he’s too scared to lose you

I don’t think he’d come with you though only because someone has to look after everyone

He’s just worried is all <:)

Louis

This mans totally exited!

He’s constantly making jokes about you two cursing around acting all cool and such

At least he’d say they where jokes

But in reality that is all this man dreams off at night

If you ever got hold of a car though you’ll never hear the end of it

“Can we go out?”

“I’ll just tell Marlon we did extra work! He doesn’t have to know”

Please for the love of god shut this man up and take him out of Ericsson’s he’s dying of boredom lmao

Aasim

This man is so thrilled!

He’s getting all sorts of ideas and wracking up in his brain where to get a car, petrol, and any places that you could scaveng

He’s asking you all sorts about it

And he’s also begging that you teach him how to drive too

He’s arguing with Marlon for weeks on end about how you should be allowed to leave the safe zone if your going out with someone in the car

It can be over bearing at times but you’ve got this man all giddy and exited!

Omar

He’s very amazed

I mean he didn’t think driving would be an option

But know he knows you can dive he’d beg for you to take him somewhere where he can get food cooking ingredients and equipment

And he’d just love to hold your hand as you drive through the old abandon streets

Even if he flinches every time you pass a Walker

Ruby

This girl is exited!

She wants to go out and travel for a bit

Sure she’s a bit scared to leave Ericsson but she wants to travel

She’s asking you all sorts and would totally love it if you would teach her!

She thinks your amazing and very useful for that!

Brody

Come this is obvious

As soon as she learns that you know how to drive she wants to go on a road trip

Like it’s this girls mission to find you a working van so everyone can go out and travle

Even if Marlons against the idea

This girl has already started packing

You are a godsend

[howlingday]

Team RWBY and JNPR are both really balanced.

Both have two feral members (Ruby, Yang), (Jaune, Nora)

And members that work as impulse control (Weiss, Blake), (Pyrrha, Ren)

And then team RNJR was formed.

How you do see their dynamic? Do you think Ren misses Pyrrha and times as team JNPR more than Jaune?

Looking back on everything pre-Fall, it's interesting how we would define feral.

Ruby and Yang were definitely feral, though Ruby was more controlled.

She would slack off, sure, but when it came to acting on her impulses, she was very tame. Sure, she kicked a guy though a window and took down a gang of thugs, then chased after their boss and was almost murdered by said boss' boss. But she never went too far.

Yang, on the other hand and contrary to her mother figure character, is absolutely feral! She walked into a night club, grabbed and twisted Junior's boys, then rampaged inside Junior's club and fought his actual boys, his twin charges, and him, all in one night! Then she had the nerve, the audacity to walk back in months later like nothing happened.

Weiss and Blake are definitely domesticated, though Blake is more stray than feral now. Weiss was raised in high society environment where everything was monitored and controlled. Blake was feral, but then was adopted, then went stray a few times before finding her home on RWBY once more.

Jaune? Feral? No, definitely not. Or, at least, not before the Fall. Jaune had his outbursts, true, but he has always been in control of himself and never had to really break the mold. He was still finding his way around this strange, new world of Grimm and Dust and tournaments between schools WHAT IS THIS GOBLET OF FIRE BULL-?!

Nora was a hundred percent feral. She did what she wanted, when she wanted, how she wanted. Her only tie to control was Ren, but that was the same as your dog at the dog park running around to play, only to come back to you when they were done.

We joke about Pyrrha going yandere when it comes to Jaune, but in truth, Pyrrha was never going to go that feral. She has always been in control, but found a little freedom in JNPR. And when she was given the choice to remain free or being locked in control again, she chose what she thought was best for all. (AND DIED FOR IT)

Ren went feral once, and only once, and that was when Nucklavee showed up. Every time before and after was Ren being in complete control of himself to the point it was, and is, actually stifling.

---------------------------------------------------

For Team RNJR/JNRR, the dynamic is a bit different.

Ruby is still kind of feral, but is still in control of herself and her actions. You don't see it much, but when you look in her eyes as she attacks, there's a predator in there, ready to strike.

Jaune is domesticated, but he's also sad. He's now finding himself in a new way; a way without Pyrrha, or Beacon, or any shape or form of a resemblance of control in his life. His world is shattered, and he's left to pick up the pieces.

Nora is still feral, same as before. Honestly, we don't really see her vulnerable or taking control until her fight in Haven or her big moment in Atlas.

Ren, as stated before goes truly feral once, and that's either to kill the Grimm that took everything from him, or die trying. We do see him snap twice, both times at Jaune during Atlas. Will he go feral in Vacuo, now that it's just him, Nora, Winter, Emerald, Oscar, and whole bunch of civilians dying in a sandstorm OH MY GOD, IS THIS DU-?!

---------------------------------------------------

To summarize

Ruby: Light Feral

Nora: Heavy Feral

Jaune: Domesticated into Stray

Ren: Domesticated, Stray, then Domesticated again

This is not to humblebrag or anything but just because I don't trust my own judgement so I'm trying to square it out. Anyway here's a list of things broad narrative beats I've got wrong or didn't expect about RWBY (since watching during V1):

Salem reveal (V3)

Ozlem backstory (V6)

Ruby/Oscar (I didn't pay attention to this one until around V8 - to be totally fair, it's not what one would ordinarily call canon-canon yet)

I thought Cinder was dead at the end of V5 (I own this, I did believe it because it was what other people were saying and I flounced from the fandom and the show hgdoigjdig)

Most recently with V9 I had optimistically hoped for more interesting Jaune development re: Penny, but I dismissed the notion of magical ageing or a literal curse

Here's a list of things I've figured out correctly:

Pyrrha's death (V3)

Qrow not dying (V4 - this one feels significant because I remember reading so many comments/speculation expecting his death, but maybe it was different on Tumblr?)

Ozpin's reincarnation (V4 - not unique but I was pretty set on this in the early volume era)

Spring Maiden!Raven (V5 - I think this was one most people figured out)

Ironwood's fall (V7)

Cinder's backstory (I predicted this back during V1 so you'll have to forgive the gloating)

Emerald redemption arc (predicted in V2 lol); Winter's (this one was probably a gimme, to be fair); Hazel's (back in V5 - but most of the fandom seemed pretty warm to him)

Penny's death (V8 - and yeah back when I was reading fandom speculation this one was rough)

Not sure exactly where to put this, but my money on Blake/Yang had been there since V3. I wasn't a shipper either, which is not to give more credence to my opinion, but that I wasn't inured in the ship fandom

There are probably some I've missed, but I'm just constraining it to major narrative beats and the types of things I think tend to be foreshadowed. Off the top of my head I didn't buy into the implication of time shenanigans with Atlas based on the intro that a lot of people were theorising about and I think that's an example of symbolic interpretation taken too far. I also wasn't sure whether to include something like Jaune's Semblance, which you could sort of predict based on allusion-level things as well as the set-up with his Aura, but it seemed like that was a thing most people agreed upon anyway.

The reason I'm writing this out is because I think that RWBY generally carries pretty intelligible narrative logic, and mostly I wanted to convey where my personal goodwill comes from. Any other story and I'd personally dismiss the notion of Cinder's redemption arc and Jaune/Cinder - and to be frank, if they don't go in that direction then I think most of my goodwill would be lost just because of how it ties into the rest of the story.

Of course I spend time ruminating on what I got wrong, and I think the implication of Salem is evident in retrospect and romantic Ozlem seems like the most reasonable direction they could've taken that backstory. I also readily admit that I've been insecure in my own interpretation and for the longest time, genuinely up until the last couple of years (and I guess it was partly a teenager thing during the course of the show, lol) I pretty much wholesale dismissed my own feelings and interpretations.

Which is obviously something I still struggle with, despite the fact I put forth a pretty polemic thesis. It doesn't help that I've been in some pretty bad fandoms, and it's not like this fandom is exactly welcoming to some of the things I think the story is doing lol.

I guess - from a more impartial perspective, taking my emotional investment out - what I really want to know is where the consistency is or isn't in the narrative, and what it is or isn't good at flagging. You can make the argument most of it's coherent and they decide to do something like Jaune/Weiss just as a joke and to give them both something to do; you can't really account for authorial whimsy, like not at all. But on the other hand, the problem is that the Jaune/Cinder romance is tied up into things I think have serious narrative stakes and potential in the story, which would effectively mean most of the foundation really, really isn't there. I also think that there are things about Jaune/Cinder that make the other romances more understandable (e.g. Ruby/Oscar, certain Adam characterisation) so it's not like you can really read this sort of thing in isolation.

Again, I don't really trust my own judgement and I really bowed to fandom pressure for the longest time. It sounds kind of petty, I know, but I'm used to suppressing my better instincts in general, and that's easy to do in spaces where everyone else is saying one thing and you don't buy it lol.

What I'm personally wondering is whether that gut instinct holds up.

The Bat-Man Recap #13

Hello Robins, and by Robins, I decided not to say something else in my opening despite it being the thing that comes to my head when doing an intro of any kind. Anyway, today I will be talking about Batman #1. I've decided to do these recaps by the story, as Batman #1 has four unique stories as well as a reprinting of Batman's origins. I've already talked about that in another recap [see The Bat-Man Recap #7, Part 1]. The only difference is a drawing of Batman instead of the opening to that issue's story. So we'll be starting with the story that introduces the Joker.

I guess they decided that a Circus motif was the way to go for this thing. The story starts with some random old people who have nothing to do with the story in any way and then the Joker hijacks a radio.

He announces his plan, causing panic to the man he named, who you will be shocked to know does he indeed die.

So this is the first time Joker kills and the gin has been there since the start. Also leaving Joker cards at crime scenes. Apparently, the Joker is full of Hate, which is not the vibe he gives now. More wacky murderous energy and being in lust obessed with Batman.

So Batman decides to just let this go, until "the time is ripe" whatever that means. I think parenting has tired Batman out.

The Joker uses Gas in this one to knock the police out but it only paralyses them temporality while he uses a blown dart that has "venom" in it to kill another person and steal a ruby. The Blown dart is in a gun, so not quite a blown dart.

Batman decides to go after the Joker, not because he's killed again. No, because another criminal plans to kill the Joker for stealing the jewels they were planning on stealing. Something is sus here, Bruce.

This is the first time that Batman saves a villain, instead of just watching or actively causing their death. He saves him twice. The Joker kills four people in his first appearance (which makes him a serial killer) and he almosts kills Batman two times. Batman was setting up for a change, but this is the same character who kicked a man off a roof last year for stealing some stones that society has decided have worth.

Here is Judge Drake, I bet his first name is Jason. He's been threaten so is under police protection.

And like that Drake is dead. Speaking of Robins, Dick is in a tree spying on this house from a distance and follows a disguised Joker like Batman told him (how Batman knew that Robin should follow anyone leaving the house is up to him and God).

The first of the many beatings Robins will face from the Joker. Don't worry, this Robin will have his revenge on the Joker later. But how will he survive to have that revenge? Don't worry, Batman has a gadget to find The Boy Wonder.

There was lot of panels I could have shared (I saved 41 images) but I think this was the most important. Sure, I could have shared the panels that give evidence to Batman having powers or the many terms card base jokes. Anyway, they fight and lose, so the Joker knocks them out before setting his own house on fire and leaving to them to die. However, Batman is immune to gas somehow and wakes up in time to save Robin and track the Joker down once again.

Robin misses out on his second confirmed kill thanks to Batman. This does feel like the first time Batman has actually stopped one of his villains from dying. He's either caused their deaths or just watched as they do it.

So that was the first time we met the Joker, who is clearly being set up to be a recurring character. The fact he doesn't die is the big indication here and his plan to escape.

We know that he's Batman's most recognizable foe. He's also the one that most standouts at this point and he doesn't look like a generic bad guy (which is usually a xenophobia caricature). Costume heroes have been a thing but the villains not so much. I've tried googling but can't find information on the first one.

The Joker more has of a uniform than a costume. That's what he wears all the time. Masked villains have existed, but not as a statement card. This is something that I might end up researching more. I mean who is the first Riddler like character. I kinda want to know now. There have been folk heroes that are disguised but known by that disguise for decades e.g. Robin Hood. If anyone knows, please tell me.

Now that they knew Batman was gonna last for a bit, it makes sense to have an actual recurring villain. The No Killing Rule isn't into effect yet, but this is definitely a different morality to this Batman. This comic has been going for a year, and Bruce Wayne isn't his own character yet. Batman could literally be any pulp hero at this point. Now that he's getting full books to himself, I wonder if he will become his own character instead of a costume for a quick action story.

The Joker is similar to his current form. The purple suit and the green hair, while using toxic chemicals to make his victims smile. Only a tiny bit of laughing. This does remind me of the The Dark Knight film, but that just might be the knight Amour and cop costume. The announcing his crimes, is more the Riddler thing now but a modern Joker doing the same would not be out of character.

Join us next time where Batman will be showing how down for killing he really is still.

🌜Long see of me, hehe🌛

Edit : WOW GUYS, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR 13 NOTES! HOPE YOU LIKED IT AND FEEL FREE TO COMMENT YOUR THOUGHTS/ REACTIONS! I'm still workin' on part 2 so, stay tuneddd! 💕🌬

¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥

(#1) ♠️ When the college's bad boy breaks into your apartment 🌬

Theme: Bad boy, gang-y, quite cold and inconsiderate JK. Straight forward, loyal, hardworking, Reader. (Dk how to describe people lol)

Genre: Gangs, rumours, truth and lies, bullies, mention of abuse, murder, betrayal and insults. ALSO, kinda funny (depends tho lol), loyality, faith and love, backstabbing, gossips. Mention of a notorious serial killer.

Disclaimer: This fanfiction doesn't have any intended connections to the real characters, nor portray their real personalities, nor have anything that contributes to their reality. It's purely for entertaining purposes. Please, don't take anything at heart. It's mere imagination.

¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥

"Y/N, right? Yup, exactly how you were described." Well, how am I supposed to take this? I know, my so-called brother, Daryl made sure that I sound like an alien off straight from Mars.

"Probably less worse." I say, rolling my eyes as she lets out a chuckle. "I'm Mia Vlademir." She extends her hand as I take it shaking lightly. "Y/N Robins."

She scans her eyes up and down at my casual t-shirt and denim jeans with a pair of puma sneakers. "You look typical..? I'm not sure if you've seen those pairs of high heels, real short shorts, miniskirts or exoposingly above-knee dresses." I give her a look which makes her let out a nervous laugh, shaking her head.

"No, I'm not judging anyone. I'm just talking about you. I'm not so extra myself." I nod my head, hinting with my disinterest for her to change the discussion. She takes my hand, walking into the enterance gates.

My eyes scan the campus around. Quite decent, not as gloomy as I thought. I haven't seen it in real 'cause my interview was online and Daryl finished all the admission procedures until I'm done with my moving out mess.

"Your HOT brother has said couple things about you, including : awfully straight forward, sarcastic and intolreant." Yup, of course, what else have I expected HIM to say?

"Nonsense intolreant, pardon." She chuckles, nodding. "Well, if you're so, then I've got some people warnings to establish with you." I stay silent, listening to her 'warnings'.

"So, there's that squad : Ruby Cullens, the head of it, with her on-off boyfriend Taylor Williams, her so-called bestfriend Tiara Grahams which's the head of dancers." Well, so high school-ey. "On-off? Why, a transistor?" She gives me a look of confusion. Worst thing in joking is having to explain it, ugh.

"BECAUSE a transistor gives on-off signals to the computer which's interpretted as zero's and one's." Mia gives me an eye roll, licking her lips to continue.

"Don't get involved with them or comment on anything they do. A week or so, you'll find Ruby turning the whole college into a funeral for a 'break-up' with Taylor." I nod, telling her I understand what she says.

"But, there's someone more probelmatic than them..."

"Yeah, give me something more than a squad of brats and bullies." I say, rolling my eyes, looking over at the campus around.

I see a group of three, entering the campus as if they're Gigi Hadid on a runway. Well, all apologies to Gigi Hadid for such a metaphor. Students clear their path in some sort of acquired respect. I can't help, but feel my nose scrunch up in dislikening.

That Taylor catches my stare, leaning in to a girl with a red-dyed hair making her look over at me, arching an eyebrow. She mutters something which I can lip-read it as 'bitch'.

"Y/N, 20 seconds pass on my freaking warnings and you get the three of them staring at you like a bunch of predators!"

Before I protest to Mia's unnecessary fear, I notice them approaching.

"Oh, crap! That's Ruby. We're done."

The red-haired walks down the hall until she reaches mine and Mia's spot.

Her heels click on the marble floor as she chews on her gum, eyeing me up and down in...disgust? She's wearing tons of makeup that I can't even imagine her natural features.

She tilts her head to the side, folding her arms to her chest. "You must be a newbie to stare like that, right?" I look at Mia who's practically clutching on my back as I feel her breath quickening in panic. I prefer not to answer that high-pitched voice that if it got louder, it'll gives ringing ears for a week.

"Haven't I asked you, bitch?!" Unfortunately, her voice raised. She catches Mia behind me, smirking evilly. "Oh, little Mia, shouldn't you have told newbie about us? And how much of a pretty UNbruised copy you're of your sister?" What? Wait, what? What did she just say?

"You, too, newbie, I hope you won't be a bruised copy of your siblings."

"21st century is disappointing nowadays, you know? People take pride into violence and bullying. I don't know what they're lacking in themselves to hide by being like that, do you?"

I say, making it quite clear that I'm not buying the cuss-and-scare show this girl is all about. The Ruby balls her fists, approaching slowly, "You dumb f*cking sl*t!"

I take Mia's hand and start taking side steps, protecting our backs to the wall, hopping like two bunnies. Yes, I'm scared that she'd beat us both up, but that doesn't mean that I'll back off and keep my mouth shut about this whole crap going on.

"YOU BOTH ARE FUCKED!" She yells at the top of her lungs as I quicken my steps along with Mia, until we reach an office's door.

Ruby lifts her hand, ready to slap when...

"MS. MCADAMS! Good morning , Ma'am." We burst in, almost landing on the floor with our fronts, immediately standing uprightly in respect. The dean eyes us both, lowering her glasses down her nose bridge alittle. "Can I help you, girls?" She asks, exchanging glances at both of us.

"Yeah, yeah, we just wanted to ask if it's okay to make little changes in our courses schedule." I say, glancing at Mia who's lowkey shaking. "Yeah, just the lectures' timings not the courses themselves, right?" I nod.

"Write your names with your IDs here. Register on the university's website online. It'll be avaliable between 5 to 10 in the evening." I thank her, writing my name on the handed paper, passing the pen to Mia as she writes her name and ID, too. We hand her the paper as she nods as a sign for us to leave.

Though, I wanted to review my schedule and now going to make it compaitable with Mia. I'm not primarily here for this; I've to inform the dean about Ruby and her squad.

"Well, ladies, you may excuse yourselves." Mia looks at my standing figure while I'm arranging what I'm about to say.

"Ms. McAdams, I want to inform you about something real urgent." She looks at me focusingly, completely taking off her glasses.

"Ruby Cullens and her squad, Taylor Williams and Tiara Grahams are bullies, of verbal and physical incidents. They cause absolute unnecessary fear for the students. Five minutes before we're here, she threatened us and was extremely disrespectful, calling us names," I pause, observing the dean's expression. I find her, willingly, listening making me go on.

"I don't really get why students aren't speaking about that, even though they've the complete right to report her doings and cause her a serious charge for that. Fear of their so-called 'established authorization' and 'powerful parents' whatsoever, should never be a hinder for a serious issue. If no one reported her before, I'm joyfully presenting as the first reporting her, ma'am. I hope someone would acknowledge this problem."

The dean gives me a smile with tilted head.

"Thanks Y/N. I'm definitely passing this to the main supervision and put an end to the proble they're causing." I nod, thanking her as we leave the office.

I walk beside Mia who's awfully silent, checking the lecture halls' numbers for our nearly starting lecture.

"Well, if you're so brave, then fear Jeon JungKook. Challenge him, for that he'd give you a free ticket straight to hell and 99% is that it's a one-way ticket. Reporting him to the dean, president, anyone, that'd be a chocolate cookie for him. I hope you never encounter him." Mia says emotionlessly looking straight on her path.

The way she's described this JungKook scared me alittle.

"He's our age?" I ask, seemingly indifferent.

"No, he's in his third year. A mafia, 100% fuckboy, ruthless, dirty-mouthed, a rumour say that he killed his father, owns a gun and miraculously, a straight A student. Girls for him are sex toys, he always sexualizes us. Look into his eagle eyes, you either see mischief, devilshness or even death dancing in them. If I've to hate anyone till the rest of my life, I'd hate him."

Well, she isn't lying at that point 'cause she's talking about him with so much resentment.

"Anyways, is your conservative ass up to a party this weekend?" She asks as we settle next to each other in the first bench. "Well, it depends on the purpose of that party." She rolls her eyes, sighing.

"A welcome to the academic year party. Everyone will be there. Will be held at Taehyung's mansion. He's one of JungKook's besties and the closest, so don't get involved with him, too." I nod, taking out my books.

"I'll be there. Let's see what kind of people do we have in this college." I say in not so much interest. "You ain't a big fan of parties, are you?" She asks, chuckling.

"Not a fan of alcohol and its consequences. People gettin' drunk, say and do stuff in absolute absence of mind and common sense, whether embarrass or expose themselves with, and mornings' regrets and hangovers,"

Mia was about to say something when I continue my apparently roast to nowadays' concept of parties.

"Or the dancing part, when two complete strangers shamelsssly grind on each other and dance 'sexily', worse, end up in some sort of a meaningless, merely lustful hook up. Nah uh, not my cup of tea."

Mia stares at me, eyes slightly wide and furrowed eyebrows. "Are you THAT trauamtized from parties?" I roll my eyes, shaking my head no.

"Daryl is a hell of a party person. Unfortunately, he managed to involve me in most of these parties, so I practically saw everything."

She nods, giggling as the professor steps into the hall. We both direct our focus on him with silence dominating the atmosphere.

》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》

The week flew by, with tons of lectures, assignments, computer science concepts swirling around our heads. Simply, hectic, confusing and intentionally proving our stupidity.

Not to mention, the weekend arrived and now, I'm at the 'party.'

Which I shall mention, not my thing at all. Lowkey regretting coming here, y'all.

"Casual pants, a black hoodie, free hair, make-up free face, at a party? SERIOUSLY, Y/N?!"

Ignore Mia.

We're here at the Taehyung's mansion, everyone is already drinking and dancing with an extremely nasty and disgusting song on, which I unfortunately recognize as Jvla - Such a Whore song. Ew, for real, I'm uncontrollably disgusted and cringing over all of this crap, going on.

"I want to go home away from all of this crap!" I snap loudly at Mia who gives me a "Are you nuts?" look. "Y/N, you're 10 minutes into this and already snapping?" I tsk as I walk over to a cornered couch away from the smells, the dirty talk, and just all of this.

I swear to God if someone of those bastards thought of approaching me, I'll flip them up.

"Hey, shawty."

Now, here we go.

"GET THE HECK AWAY FROM ME, YOU PIECE OF DRUNK, SHAMELESS CRAP!"

I yell as he backs off, seriously startled at my blow up. I'm holding my tongue away from polluting it with some real bad swears that suit this bunch of embarrassing humans.

Some seems to have noticed my blow up as an asian guy with black hair long to his nape and a boxy, flirtious smile walks up to my direction.

"Shit! Shit, Y/N! You got Taehyung approaching!" Mia panicks for the nth time, seeing that dude approaching us.

"Well, hello, beauty. Someone is pretty salty about the party, huh." I shoot him an up-and-down look, arching an annoyed eyebrow.

I'mma throw hands, right here, right now.

"Yo, listen here, party brat, I'm here to see what kinda humans I associated myself with by joining this damned college. So, if your blown-down head has given you the enough audacity to even IMAGINE that I'mma get myself drollin' over your aura or whatsoever, then go bang your head in the nearest wall. Now this talk of mine implies a serious sign of....BACK THE HELL OFF!"

The Taehyung straightens his posture, scanning me with a surprised look. What, he hasn't gotten used to girls rejecting him.

"Wow, I like this one." I hear him, whispering to himself as he smirks. "But, nah, not my type. I know someone who suits you prefectly." He whistles sharply, apparently to somone especially.

A whistle responds back as a tall, all black-dressed, black hair brushed to the sides (the hair style up there), eagle eyes, rosey lips, ringed, with a mole underneath, arched left eyebrow and a smirk which satan would be jealous of.

I realize that this the warned-about Jeon.

"JK, I've got you a cake. A cake which comes once in a blue moon." He says, eyeing me up and down in a way that disgust me even more. I tsk again, rolling my eyes, seriously annoyed.

The Jeon eyes me like a predator with a wider smirk, rolling his tongue on his lip ring, chuckling darkly.

"Y/N, Y/N, oh my God, Y/N." Mia panicks for real as she stands up, taking quick steps afar from the couch.

That coward!

"Hmm, such a fiesty, huh? What got you screaming around, non-nakedly?" My eyes widen at his offending question. Do these guys know nothing but sexual crap?!

I stand up abruptly, backing away from his face which was a few inches away from mine.

"Sense of dignity and respect! Not like y'all, senseless, offensive and notorious!" I answer back, balling my fists in extreme distress. He raises his eyebrows sarcastically, chuckling again.

"It's been awhile since I've come across this hard-to-get play. Mostly, it was hard-to-rid-off. But, oh, I will to play along. C'mon, cinamonn roll, show me your sexiness." I bite my lower lip even harder, almost bruising it, as I tilt my head in anger.

"Hard-to-get, huh? For what purpose, I wonder? Fancy you?! Tsk, too bad I'm not into crap that everybody knows how it tastes!" I snap much louder, for him to hear each bite I attack him with.

Music dies down as everyone stays still and stiff, watching the quarrel going on. I'm beyond furious and I'm ready to humiliate, blind of all his dignitiy and feelings.

He stays silent, eyes turning from playful to dark and angry.

"Who the fuck do you think you're talking to?!" He immediately grabs my hair into his fist as I yelp, holding onto his hand, digging my nails into them.

"I'm talking to someome who's gonna die alone, have people gloating over his death, and even spit on his grave! I'm talking to someone who people would be happy for his death as much as Ted Bundy's!" I yell with even more fury, struggling under his grip.

A gasp leaves some mouths as he looks down at me in kind of a shock. I, myself, am kinda surprised. I do bite back, but not this furious, not this harsh. But, the horrible stories going around him and his friends being told make me develop that attacking mode towards them. I don't want to end up dead, my reputation ruined, or as they call 'one of their countless bitches.'

"You're fucking dead, bitch!" He murmurs in a tone that sent a chill down my spine. I keep struggling with my moves making him tighten his grip on my hair.

"You know what? I had the smallest bit of pathetic hope that y'all would be 1% better than described, but guess what? You're freaking worse! Laying your hands on a girl for rejecting your offensive approaches, how gentleman!" I add, not able to control the words in my head.

Yes, I did, I did hope its rumours, but didn't expect them to be any much better. My brother suffered from false rumours, so I was ready to defend them if they were any good, but can't help, but feel disappointed.

Surprisingly, he lets go of my hair as I straighten up, backing away hurriedly. I look at him, questioning his silence. I thought he'd blow up even more, but he's staring at me in a way I can't explain. He looks....

Disappointed? Ashamed?

No, no, someone like him would never.

But, who am I to judge that much? I don't even know him.

But, yeah people's sayings, Y/N!

No, people lies much, Y/N, you witnessed that.

Now, my head is full contradictions, questions and confusion.

I feel bad for what I said 'cause after all I'm in no place to humiliate someone like that. And let's think in his shoes, now his so-scary aura is quite bruised from what I've done, especially that he didn't harm me much. Yes, he pulled my hair, yelled and all, but still not the violent reaction some might have expected out of him.

"Y/N, please. Let's just go! Please." Mia pleads whispering, behind me while I'm staring at Jeon. But, something is holding me from moving. There's no way I hurt his feelings that much, right? I don't regret standing up for myself, but did I overreact?

"Y/N! Let's just GO!" Mia raises her voice, growing more anxious. His silence is scaring everyone, but I'm reading it differently.

"Learn to respect, to be respected. If it wasn't for your reputation and earlier approach, I wouldn't have said anything." I say those last words quietly, more like I'm blaming him and turn around leaving the place.

"Party dismissed." I hear in the background Taehyung's voice in the mic as we reach down the street.

I stop a taxi, getting me and Mia inside as I tell him the directions to Mia's dormitory which happens for my apartment to be 15 minutes away from it.

"You...you faced JungKook that way. You said all of that to JungKook. Y/N, you're fucking nuts. He's gonna end you, there's no way he's leaving any of us alone. He might use me as a bait to just pressure on you. My life was fucked up enough, I didn't need YOU to get me involved with these people because you had to act like a hero!"

She blames me angerily as I look over at her.

"Listen, if you choose cowardness and fear to avoid your problems, then let them grow even stronger and swallow you whole." I say in gritted teeth, turning my face to the window.

10 minutes pass slowly as I see the dorm in sight. Mia storms out of the taxi, looking at me.

"Don't ever think of befriending me, okay?! You're trouble and I don't need shit!" She shoots me a middle finger and turns to run up the stairs to the building.

"Go straight to the end of the street, take the U-turn and turn right afterwards, please. I'll pay for both rides." The driver nods as he drives off to the direction.

》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》

A month has passed by, peacefully. Never encountered JungKook or his besties, but they were attending their lectures, labs and all. Heard about their attendance from students whispering about them. No particular scandals, no drama except for Ruby's and her squad.

For me and Mia, it's just cold stone, she made it into the absolute obvious that she wants nothing to do with me. I've known couple others, who recognized me from the party. I tried to verify some of the stories told about JungKook, specifically, but turns out that no one does really know anything for sure.

That makes me question all the things mostly Mia said about JungKook. She spoke about him with so much certainity that I believed her instantly. Now, I doubt everything and regret what I said in the party, especially, that he didn't come at me or hurt me or use her as a bait or anything from whatsoever she said.

I close my notebook, putting it to the bedside, grabbing my phone to turn on the alarms for me to wake up early for studying as it's exams' seasons.

I switch off the lights, sliding open the window enjoying the cold breeze, putting on my socks. I lay on my bed, pulling my blanket to my chin, closing my eyes.

JungKook has occupied alot of my mind's space and I don't even know if my overthinking getting me anywhere. If I ever get to meet him again, I'll try to resolve the incident 'cause I, yes, stand up for myself, but hate hurting people's feelings and what makes me think that he's worth a resolution is the look he gave me back there. His silence, his eyes, it's like his anger had vanished, pulling the curtains open to something deeper inside him.

Or am I dramatizing this much?

I don't even know anymore.

DEATHBATTLE Series Finale Idea: Wiz Vs Boomstick!

I woke up from a dream about DEATHBATTLE where Wiz and Boomstick were ending the entire show with a fight to the death. It involved reflectors and all the little throwaways that they’ve done over the past decade and a half like how Wiz has enough strength in his human arm to easily lift and carry a freaking car battery and Boomstick could withstand almost any toxin because ‘his liver has processed way worse than glowsticks’, just to name a few.

But that’s the battle… how did it start to go down?

It all started during the final seasons first episode, where Marshal (Ring Master) was killed in a runaway accident involving Ness (Earthbound). I don’t remember who Ness was fighting, but given how my dream progressed, it was probably either Sans from Undertale, Lucas from Mother 3, Ninten from Mother, or a Mother Series Battle Royal. I just remember a laser punching a hole straight through Ring Master’s head.

The next to die was Dummy, and yes I know how ridiculous it was for me to talk about Dummy dying. It’s his job to die right? But this time… he didn’t come back. Dummy died in a battle between Captain Planet (Captain Planet and the Planeteers) and I wish I was joking about this… Captain Underpants (the Epic Tales of Captain Underpants, among other sources). I don’t understand how, but it involved George Beard (the one with the flat top and the tie) and Harold Hutchins (the one in the tee-shirt and the bad hairdo) coming into the studio to give Wiz and Boomstick a bit more details about Captain Underpants’ limitations and abilities, but inadvertently destroying Dummy’s AI using their Hypno Ring. How does a Hypno Ring work on and Artificial Intelligence? Has Dummy ever not had something bad happen to him?

The next to die was Jocelyn the Intern. Never got out of her intern status sadly… she died less spectacularly than the others. She died from a Kishen that Maka Albarn and Soul Evans were hunting slaughtering her and stealing her soul. In this case, Maka and Soul (Soul Eater series) were fighting Ruby Rose (RWBY series) who was also tracking the Kishin. She ends up believes Maka and Soul killed Jocelyn since Soul ate the Kishen’s soul, and Kishen’s disappear when they die, but human bodies don’t. She believed that Soul (who she saw eat the soul in his half scythe form) was a new kind of Grimm that was possessing this poor girl and forcing her to be his murder buddy. The win went to Maka with a surprise transform to the chest from an unconscious Maka.

Which brings us back to the Finale. In this battle, Wiz and Boomstick were before the graves of their fallen comrades when two separate groups were after Boomstick and Wiz respectively. Boomstick was being hunted by a horde of demons after the Super Shotgun he uses as his leg as after all these years it still smells of the OG Doomguy (DOOM franchise) while Wiz was being attacked by his fellow Alumni who are furious he isn’t donating to the University of Evil Sciences, like some kinda John Mulaney bit taken to it’s logical extreme.

After clearing out both groups, Wiz and Boomstick have become worn down and tired through the show, and decide to end it in on grand final battle to the death. Between Wiz and Boomstick.

To summarize… I think I’m gonna cut coffee out of my before sleep ritual for a while if that’s okay with you guys… these dreams are becoming a bit too… surreal…

sometimes I wish I shared some of my friends and mutuals’ enthusiasm for Eileen's character, but I remain first and foremost frustrated.

the actress is lovely and clearly put in the work (unlike a few others, especially by season 15...), but I found the character criminally underused and underdeveloped. and this isn’t just about the number of episodes she’s in. SPN is remarkably good at capturing the audience’s attention with characters with little to no air time when put against the show as a whole. so the issue is one of quality and not quantity, IMO.

the first time I stood in attention was precisely in 15x09, when Chuck’s influence on her return and her relationship with Sam was revealed and she needed to deal with that. except, of course, she was immediately removed from the plot and any development afterwards happened fucking offscreen (she and Sam going on a date out of nowhere without us seeing how they processed such an important development, dying and resurrecting??). so as things are in canon, as I said, her character frustrates me more than anything else because she’s yet one more instance of you could have been so so so much greater!!!

(sidenote but. yes it should have focused just a bit on Eileen -hell, it should have focused on Sam’s feelings about having this part of his life manipulated again! like it’s so similar to what Hell did with Jess!! and he’s your fucking lead character?!? I can understand the argument that Eileen was not their priority and there’s ultimately nothing wrong with using secondary characters only to prop your mains, but c’mon-. but also, imagine how much more impactful it'd been if Mary, someone with a comparable story, had been alive? sidenote 2 but this is making me think about Eileen/Mary. I’m going to need a moment)

(sidenote 3: my indifference to Saileen definitely plays a part here. I joked once that I didn’t expect to ship them because it looked like Dean approved of the relationship, and how much I care about a Sam ship is inversely proportional to how much Dean likes it. not kidding there, it’s a gr10 metric for how good for Sam’s narrative a dynamic is. Saileen is remarkably inoffensive, and I haven’t rooted for inoffensive in my entire life LOL. plus lbr, I really don’t care for the uberdomestic and conventional version the fandom peddles. more to the point, like with Eileen herself, just the moment a plot point got me truly interested in them... the show tossed the dynamic aside. meh)

otoh, I AM looking forward to write her in fic -even characters (and dynamics) that I’ve been on the fence/merely liked before in canon have made themselves a place in my heart once I sat down, thought about them and how they work in depth, and wrote them. I have a few ideas -I still want to write a Wayward Sisters series of what I would like the “show” to have been, and one of my goals is basically bringing in every female character I like that the writers unceremoneously discarded/killed off lmao. Eileen definitely counts. and I still fantasize about doing that s5-15 rewrite saga lmfao (starting with Ruby being resurrected to play the open antagonist she would’ve excelled at, and getting only more self-indulgent from there!).

[albi-gen]

One thing that I’ll say about rwby ice queendom that I didn’t like is how they are doing Yang’s character so far in the show. To me she just feels like the stereotypical protective older sister that has to learn to let their younger sibling be more independent. Where typically these types are nothing more than empty characters who’s whole identity falls under being the over protective older sibling.  And don’t get me wrong I understand that Yang being overly protective is a part of Yang’s character and was even shown in volume 1, I just didn’t like how many times they had to reiterate in the show how Yang needs to let Ruby be more independent and that she spoils her too much. I know some people like that they did this, but to me it made her character seem as a whole only defined as being the overly protective older sister and nothing more because of how many times they reiterated her over protectiveness, but not mention any other qualities about her character. We haven’t seen any signs of her temper that she had to work on in later volumes, she didn’t make any kind of jokes like how she joked about them all dying together when team rwbyjnpr all met up in the forest, and by not including the yellow trailer in rwby ice queendom, it took away how much of a badass Yang is like how she took down a whole club of people by herself and also how confident, strong, bold and a little cocky she is. But in rwby ice queendom the only quality that’s really highlighted about her character is that she’s the over protective older sister, while those other qualities that define her as a character early on in volume 1 isn’t really shown at all and if you’ve never watched the main series you probably wouldn’t even know.

I understand that her trailer probably wouldn’t fit the flow of the show since Raven most likely won’t be in rwby iq and that only two episodes were dedicated to recapping the original series with a few added scenes. And I love how Yang spoke up and told Weiss off about being racist and calling her out on how genuine she really is in being nice towards Ruby, but still Yang overall just feels empty to me and I’m not as invested in her character like I used to.
