The Arrival Of A Miracle - Anthony Bridgerton

Word count: 1666

Summary: Oh how wonderful it is when new life joins us in this adventure called life, is it not?

The chamber is elegantly decorated with antique furniture and delicate china tea sets. Violet Bridgerton, an elegant and wise woman in her seated on a comfortable armchair. 

And Eloise, a spirited and intelligent young woman joins the both of you with a cup of tea.

 "It's so lovely to have this moment of peace amidst all the chaos, isn't it?" Violet chuckled, taking a sip from the hot liquid in her teacup. "At least for the time being."

"Yes, indeed. I can't believe this little one will be joining us shortly." You smiled, placing a hand upon your bump covered by your green gown.

"Time flies, my dear. It feels like just yesterday when Anthony was a baby himself." The mother sighed, slightly lost in memories, smiling at you. 

"Speaking of babies, it seems like everyone else in London is busy with their own affairs." Eloise joked, making you chuckle as well. "I hardly see anyone these days."

"Well, Eloise, life does tend to get busy, especially when there's a new addition to the family on the way." Violet silenced her daughter, pointing at your bump. 

"I must admit, it's quite overwhelming at times. But having tea with all of you brings such joy and comfort." You said, looking at both the women in the room. "Truly."

"My dear, you're doing wonderfully. We're all here to support you every step of the way." Violet assured, placing her hand on yours.

"Absolutely! And once the baby arrives, we'll have even more reasons to celebrate." Eloise laughed, taking a biscuit from the table.

"Indeed, Eloise. Our family will grow, and our love will only deepen." Violet agreed. "Could I ask something?"

"Oh, most definitely, what's the matter?" You asked.

 "I've been searching for this specific book for weeks, and I can't seem to locate it anywhere." Eloise almost begged. "My brothers are no help at all. One of them is always painting and the other is making sure a nursery is completed."

"Eloise, y/n is close to birthing a child, how could you ask such a thing?" Violet scolded her daughter.

"It's okay, I'd be happy to help you out." You answered, getting up from the couch with some difficulty. "We can go to the library together and search for it."

"Really? You would do that for me?" She asked, eyes wide with happiness. "Thank you so much. Let's go right now."

And with that, the younger Bridgerton took a hold of your hand and pulled you towards the library.

Entering the library, you're greeted by the smell of old books and the sound of pages being turned. 

"Wow, this library is impressive. Do you have any leads on where we should start?" You asked, placing a hand on your back as you felt some subtle pain.

"Well, I've already checked the history section, the adventure section, and even the rare books collection. But no luck so far." Eloise sighed, randomly reading some titles of books.

 Eloise is meticulously going through books about unsolved mysteries and hidden secrets. "... It must be here somewhere."

You walk a little further into the library, reading some book titles as well, hoping you'd find the book, at least to help Eloise out.

Suddenly, Eloise's hand brushes against a book that feels slightly different from the others. 

But at a sudden moment your face twists in pain. As Eloise walks towards you with a book in her hand.

"Y/n, are you alright? Shall I get Mama or Anthony?" She asked worriedly, placing the book on the shelf, and placing her hand on your back. 

You took a deep breath, placing your hands on the shelf, trying to steady yourself. "It's too soon. The baby isn't due for another two weeks, El."

"I don't know much about this but this child is coming," Eloise said, looking around her if there was anyone that could help her out "We must get you to your room."

"I... I can't wait any longer. The baby is coming." You panted, cradling your bump with one hand, feeling how the pain got worse.

"We'll do whatever it takes to ensure the safety of our child," Eloise assured, taking hold of your hand, and leading you out of the library.

You smiled weakly, grateful for the support of your sister-in-law. 

Eloise smiles back, determination etched on her face. She took your arm and supported you as you both started to make your way up the grand staircase.

Eloise and you slowly walk up the staircase, each step becoming more challenging for you. Eloise whispers words of encouragement, trying to keep you calm.

"You're doing wonderful, y/n. Just a few more steps and we'll be in your chamber." Eloise encouraged, breathing along with you.

Your grip tightens on Eloise's arm as another contraction hits. You wince in pain, but bravely soldier on. "I can't do this, El."

"You're stronger than you assume, y/n Bridgerton. Remember, soon you'll be holding your beautiful babe in your arms." Eloise smiled, rubbing the lower of your back, hoping to soothe some of the pain.

You reach the top of the staircase and continue down the hallway towards your room. 

Eloise helps you into the room and guides you towards the bed. You collapse onto the bed, your face pale and sweaty.

"You, try to stay calm, I'll get Mama and make sure that wicked brother of mine, returns home," Eloise said, kissing your cheek one last time.

Descending the grand staircase with purpose. She spots her mother, across the room. "Mother, we must act fast! Send the midwives to y/n's room and fetch Anthony immediately. She has begun the labor upstairs in their room!"

Anthony Bridgerton bursts through the doors of the Bridgerton residency. Noticing the stares his mother and sister are giving in his direction. 

"It's your wife, dearest." Violet began.

"Where? Where is my wife? What's the matter?" He asked, noticing Eloise nodding her head subtly towards the hallway upstairs. 

"Anthony, my dear, there's no need to worry. Y/n is in good hands. She's in your room." Violet explained, placing a hand on her son's shoulder. "Preparing for the arrival of your child." 

"I just want to be there for her, Mother. I want to hold her hand and support her through this."He answered, looking down at the wedding ring on his hand.

"And you will be. Y/n knows how much you adore her. She knows you'll be by her side every step of the way." She smiled as Anthony's eyes lit up with determination.

"Yes, I will. I'll be the best father and husband I can be." Anthony nodded his head. 

"I have no doubt about that, my son. You will be a wonderful father, just like your own father was." Violet spoke with tearful eyes.

"Thank you, Mother. I won't let her down."

"I know you won't, my dear. Now, go to her. Your wife needs you." Violet insisted, motioning her hand toward the staircase.

Anthony nervously enters the room, his heart pounding with anticipation. He glances around, noticing the midwife preparing the birthing supplies. The room is filled with an air of both excitement and trepidation.

"Is everything alright?" Anthony asked the midwife who was taking some sheets for the bed.

"Yes, Mr. Bridgerton. everything is going well, soon you'll child will be here." The woman answered.

He takes a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves. He walks over to your side, are you're lying on the bed, your face flushed with pain. 

"You're doing amazing, my love. Just a little longer." Anthony whispered against your forehead, softly smiling. .

" Oh, the pain! I can't bear it any longer!" You cried, leaning back into the pillow. 

"Just a little while longer, my lady. You're doing wonderfully." One of the midwives reassures, adjusting the gloves on her hands. "Just a few more pushes and we'll have the baby in your arms."

"Don't leave me, Anthony. I need you." You sighed, squeezing his hand.

"Alright, my lady. On the count of three, give me one more big push." The midwive said as you we're pushing the best you could. 

"Come on, my love. You can do this." Anthony encouraged, placing his hand on the back of your neck.

The birthing room is filled with a team of midwives bustling around, preparing for the imminent arrival of the baby.

"Just breathe, my lady. You're doing great." The midwife said as she saw sweat beads on your forehead as you clutched Anthony's hand tightly.

You gritted your teeth, leaning back in your bed. "I can't... I can't do this anymore."

"Yes, you can, my love. Just a little longer." Anthony said, removing the strands of hair on your sweaty forehead.

You gather all your strength and push with all your might. The room fills with the sound of your pains. 

 Anthony's face breaks into a fragile smile as he hears the cry of a babe. "It's... it's a miracle."

"Mr. Bridgerton, It's time for you to cut the umbilical cord. Are you ready?" The midwife said, holding out the scissors towards Anthony. 

"I mostly am" The woman hands him the pair of sterilized scissors. He takes a deep breath and approaches the baby, who is in the hands of the midwife.

"Here we go, little one." Anthony carefully cuts the umbilical cord, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. The baby lets out a soft cry, signaling its arrival into the world.

"It's a beautiful and healthy baby boy!" The midwife said as she took the baby and gently placed him on your chest. Your eyes filled with tears of joy as you held your newborn close.

"Welcome to the world, my son. We will love and protect you always." Anthony spoke as his eyes were filled with tears.

"Our little miracle. Our family is complete." As you both gaze at your newborn son, the room is filled with a sense of pure bliss and the promise of a bright future.

DeanX Reader

Warnings: Pure hurt!

Summary: Reader and Dean are close and have had a secret relationship for the last four years, but when you are dying in his arms you couldn't be happier.

"Son of a bitch" Dean yelled as a witch was going after us. You turn and your hair flies with the swing of your head. "Shit"

You, Sam and Dean were on a hunt for a witch who wouldn't stop going after people.

We were in the wood just out of the town.

"Y/N wait" Dean said as you ran away to her. "i got it!" Dean groans. "Damn it"

You turn and the witch turns and says. "You're weak! you can't kill me...but...i can kill you!"

You rush to her and she throws you across the woods making you hit your body on a big tree. You fall to the ground with a grunt.

The Witch stands over you and plunges your own knife into your chest. You gasp feeling her twist it and she says. "Heaven has not place for you"

She screams when Sam throws a knife into her back.

Dean rushes to your side. "Y/N!?" he looks over you and you gasp. "De...dean..i.."

"Shh save your breath darling" he picks you up and sam says. "Dean what are you doing?" "I'm going to do everything in my power to save her!"

He walks baby and sam says. "Dean we can't save her" You head is on dean's chest. Dean ignores what Sam said and says. "Open the damn door sammy!"

Sam opens the back door of baby and dean climbs in and sits in the back and has your head on his lap you open your eyes. "Dean...i have to say something please'

Sam drives back to the bunker and Dean says. "no no honey i said don't talk please" he kisses your hand and you smile at him.

Dean looks at you and says. "you'll be okay Y/n i promise you'll be ok" You shake your head. "No dean...i won't..i can feel it getting cold..." You then smile more and dean says.

"Why are you happy--now?"

You reach up and place your hand on his cheek "Because i Get to die in your arms. The safest Place"

"your not going to die sweetheart...Not if i can help it" he said with his voice breaking.

"dean...You know i love you right?" He bites his lip "No no don't talk to me like this"

"It's okay to let me go...you have to" Sam glances at dean and you and he presses down on the gas going faster on the road.

"I love you so much dean. you know that and it's hard to tell you that sometimes...I'll always be with you in your heart" You place your hand on his chest and he says. "Y/n please stop talking like this"

You smile lightly. "Dean i have lost a lot of bl..blood...there isn't a chance you can safe me and i accept that"

You lean your head on him and close your eyes. Dean places his hand on your chest hoping to feel your heart still beating..but it's not.

"Y/N!?" he looks at your lifeless body and sam pulls up the the bunker. "Is she?!" He turns and Dean is holding you to his chest crying his eyes out. "No no no!" Dean chants as he looks at you. "Y/N wake up!!"

"Dean..we..can't"

Dean walks around. "I will do anything hell even sell my soul to bring her back!"

Sam looks at you with tears. "I know dean i know"

Your forehead thing with vash blew me away cause im so in love with this man

So here are some thoughts for u :

Imagine vash and reader having a crush on each other but not saying a word. They've been traveling together for some time now,even before the gang was formed so reader knows Vash's secrets.

Think about when vash is down after some incident,and reader puts his forehead against HIS cause it always calms them down!!!

Imagine Vash's shock and then happiness about how his crush loves that part of him that's plant as well 😭😭😭

YOU!! THIS!! AA!!!!

JUST SDNFJASJFD DSAF i couldn't get to this ask now cause of school but aaaaa this is so <333333 DRIVING ME INSANE I SWEAR wrote this instead of my policy paper asefihfhi hifiihf

anyways i kinda just wnet wild with this cause ahdbfhasdbf VASH <333

You've known Vash for some time now—two or three years give or take, and travel side by side with him for almost as long as you've known him.

He's tried to get you to leave his side multiple times. Vash feared you getting hurt or worse because of him but you won't let him. Vash is stuck with you whether he likes it or not.

With the time you've spent travelling with him you've come to realise how little you actually knew about Vash. Sure you knew his favorite type of pizza, favorite color, all that stuff—all surface level stuff. Vash tended to avoid questions about his scars, how he knew so much about lost technology and how he could basically shrug off wounds that would have the average human bedridden for days.

But over time you've come to know his secrets, the mysteries of Vash the Stampede unravelling themselves to you.

Vash wasn't human but an independent Plant and he had a brother, a twin.

"I have a brother, " there's pain and guilt in his eyes, " his name's Nai—" He stops, cutting himself off, "Millions Knives, " He corrects, fingers gripping the threadbare blanket.

The inn you two were staying at was more than a little run-down but it would do. It was better than staying out in the cold desert barrens.

Finally, he turns to you, lips pressed into a thin line, "He looks a lot like me..." he pauses, lips quirking downwards, "He's the one who's been stealing Plants."

Vash left it at that. Guilt and hesitance in his eyes as he forced a smile on his face as he waves you goodnight.

The conversation regarding his brother ends right then and there. Whatever questions you have for him dies in your throat at the glimpse of his eyes.

The topic isn't brought up again until you met the man himself.

It was brief, brutal and followed by pure devastation.

Millions Knives—Nai, as Vash called him looked so much like Vash. This man looked so much like Vash—your Vash, sweet, caring Vash who could never bring himself to harm anyone, glared at you with pure unadulterated hatred.

Horror rushes through you and you find yourself stuck in your place like a deer in headlights. A chain of knives rushes out for you, with full intent to kill but you make no move to dodge.

You would've died if it weren't for Vash managing to shove you out of the way and carry you to safety like a sack of potatoes.

You didn't even realise he'd done so until Vash puts you down, telling you to stay where you are as he plastered on a reassuring smile. It looked more like he was reassuring himself than reassuring you.

The near-death experience with Vash's body-suit-wearing evil twin doesn't fully settle in until the thick blast doors shut close behind you.

The room Vash had left you in is dark, cool and cramped. A room for cleaning supplies judging by the shadowy outline of a broom.

BANG!

You jolt, curling up against the metal door and covering your ears.

There are shouts, both from Vash and Knives.

BANG!

Another gunshot.

Then another and another and another and another.

You count eight in total.

Vash emptied out an entire cylinder.

The most you've ever heard him fire.

Shouts, screams and cries from both parties but mostly Vash.

Metal twisting and bullets ricocheting.

It's gut-wrenching to hear it all.

All you could do is bite your lip and hold back tears. Opening the door and going out there would be a death sentence for you. Knives moved with inhuman speed and agility. His weapons, those knives weren't weapons made from lost tech, they moved too fluidly for that.

There's a crash outside.

"You'd..."

BANG!!

BANG!!

"...your....ther.... for-"

The metal dome of the Plant facility creaks and twists as if something is cutting the ceiling open.

"...ese... ILTHY HUMANS!"

Another set of gunshots.

"NAI!"

The metal beams of the facility creak, twist and snap. The entire room shakes as the roof of the facility is lifted by those limb-like chains of knives.

You curl into yourself further, dust and debris falling down on you.

With terror in your veins, you will yourself to look up.

Your eyes widen and your heart drops.

Vash cries out for his brother to stop but it's too late.

The facility's roof is tossed down to where the town is and the bulbed Plant is gently lifted out and stolen away.

You shut your eyes close as the giant hunk of metal lands on the town. It shakes the ground with a mighty crash.

Then...

Silence.

Your heartbeat rings in your ears as you stand with shaky legs, blood running down from a long cut on your forearm. You force open the closet door, and you're met with an empty and destroyed Plant chamber.

There are bullet casings scattered on the ground and metal beams jutting out everywhere.

You find Vash at the centre of it all, standing shellshocked where the Plant and its bulb were once kept.

"Vash...?" You call out, a hand reaching out for him.

He doesn't answer.

You call out his name again, concern and fear lacing your voice.

"Mayfly?" Vash turns around and your heart breaks.

A lone tear slides down his cheek, his eyes hidden in the orange tint of his sunglasses.

You close the gap between you and him, pulling him into your arms.

Cupping his face, you gently lift the sunglasses to unveil his blue eyes holding back tears. He breathes out your name in a sob and your heart shatters further. "Oh, Vash..."

Another tear escapes from his eyes. Gently and lovingly you wipe it with your thumb.

"I...I..."

You know what he'll say all too well.

You meet his eyes, "You deserve to cry, Vash."

"No no, I don't..." his voice quivers, "I-This is my fau-"

"It's not your fault Vash."

"You don't understand, ____. Because of me Nai-" he chokes out a strangled sob, croaking out words of self-blame. Vash's breathing quickens and his body shakes in your hold.

You call out his name again and again but he doesn't respond, spiralling down the rabbit hole of self-blame and self-immolation.

"Vash," you whisper, pulling him down so his forehead is pressing against yours.

"Vash," you can only pray that this would work.

This was something he did to you when you were sick or upset. You figured it was a Plant thing seeing as he does something similar when he heals his sisters.

"____"

Vash utters your name, and you let out a sigh of relief.

"Vash."

He leans forward, pressing your foreheads closer. You could see the faint blue glow of the Plant markings on his eyes.

"I love you," The three words come out as easily as breathing. "I love you so much," you press a kiss, soft and chaste on his lips.

"It wasn't your fault, Vash," you repeat and the damn inside him breaks. He sobs silently, tears flowing, his gun dropping to his side with a metallic clack. "None of this was."

You hold him close for who knows how long, holding him as he sobbed and let his tears flow.

When Vash wipes away his snot and tears, it's well into the night. He separates himself from you, the light on his markings fading away. He opens his mouth, an apology ready to be released but you cut him off before he could.

Once again you press your forehead against his, standing on your tippy toes, "I love you, Vash. All of you."

I love you, all that you are and all the burdens you carry, I love you.

THIS MAN MAKES ME

I LOVE HIM SM AAAA

okay this concept with Nai tho

[misc-obeyme]

what are your thoughts on the cheeky lil cow boy (belphie)

Ah yes, Belphegor, a bit of a polarizing character in general, I think. People seem to either really love him or really hate him.

Generally speaking, I think he's deceptively cunning, but not in a malicious way. He's pretty chill most of the time, but he'll do stuff like manipulate his brothers to get them to do his chores for him. Except for Beel, of course. And really they are a unit. Belphie is always ready to fight for Beel and vice versa. But I also really like how they just quietly support each other. Someone will say oh Belphie fell asleep in this weird place and Beel will immediately be like I'll go get him. Or Belphie will be like we need to make sure we bring food to this thing because Beel will get hungry. Like they're just always thinking about each other and I think that's really sweet.

Belphie will also call people out if he wants to. If he has no reason to keep it to himself, he'll straight up tell you if he thinks you're doing something questionable. And his issues with Diavolo indicate to me that he has a problem with authority, like he would be more defiant if he wasn't also lazy lol.

Inevitably, though, we can't really talk about Belphie without discussing the Lesson 16 Incident. At this point, I think most people are aware of those events, but just in case, I'll put the rest of this under a read more. And also it's kinda lengthy, so be forewarned lol.

First of all, I have to say that I was honestly so confused about what was happening in Lesson 16 that I didn't fully understand that Belphie had killed MC. I had to read it multiple times and then read what other people were saying about it. So I never had an intense reaction to it.

But to be fair, it wasn't like we didn't know there was something weird going on the whole time. I knew it was the youngest brother locked up there and it seemed like it was wrong, so that made Lucifer out to be the bad guy of the situation. Then it turns out that wasn't the case at all.

Belphie is manipulative. That's just part of his character. And when he has something that he's trying to do, he's going to use that skill to get it.

Some people are still mad at Lucifer for locking Belphie up at all. Some people are obviously quite upset that Belphie killed MC.

But here's what I think.

It isn't that black and white. Aside from the confusing time travel shenanigans, this event is one of the most realistic things that has ever happened in the story.

Belphie shared Lilith's love of humans. Together they wanted to learn more about the human world. It would be easy for him to blame himself for her interest and what ultimately led to her death. But even if he didn't, he saw the way that it tore his entire family apart.

It wasn't just that his dad got mad at his sister and they had an argument or something.

It was that his dad was going to end his sister's existence and in defiance, his older brother rebelled. And there was a war. This was not some squabble. This was siblings fighting siblings.

Belphie watched his brothers and sisters fight and hurt and kill each other and it all came back to Lilith falling in love with a human.

And then he fell with his brothers, cast out of his home, losing everything he's ever known. His brothers are changing and suffering just like he is.

They don't talk about it. They clearly all keep secrets regarding it still, things that don't come out until MC comes along. Which is supposedly thousands of years after the fact (at least in OG). That means Belphie has had all that time to let that trauma fester. To let it twist inside him. To let it morph into the one thought that became most dominant: that humans are bad.

Is that a fair assessment of what happened? No, of course not. But we're dealing with a war traumatized fallen angel that clearly hasn't worked through any of these feelings in thousands of years.

And then he defies Diavolo and Lucifer panics.

Yes, Lucifer should have found a better way of handling it. But remember what happened to him when he defied authority? He is trying his best to protect Belphie. He is trying not to lose another sibling. He is also still traumatized and therefore overreacting out of fear.

And so was Belphie.

Imagine being locked up like that and a human comes along. A human is free among your brothers to do whatever terrible things humans do while you're powerless to stop them. Of course he's going to try to manipulate that human into setting him free. Of course he's then going to eliminate them because humans have been historically bad for his family.

I read this situation as Belphie being both afraid and angry that a human - the thing he's convinced himself was the main cause of his sister's death - has become so close to his brothers and has the access to his family that could cause another rift among them.

You could say that it was Belphie's idea to get MC to have all the pacts, but that isn't really true, either. By the time MC meets Belphie, they already have a pact with two of his brothers. He sees them already starting to worm their way into his family. And he knows that the only way to get out of the attic is to encourage it. He doesn't really have a choice.

Maybe everyone can now call me a Belphie apologist. But I'm always coming at this from an outside fictional standpoint. I'm like listen he's a flawed character and it's actually pretty realistic of him to react this way considering the circumstances.

However, he did kill MC. And that's why my own MC, Ciaran, has issues with Belphie for a while. It's also traumatic to have someone kill you, so it isn't like I'm saying MC should just forget about it or forgive Belphie immediately. I think it probably should have taken a lot more time for MC to trust Belphie again. Certainly that part of the story was a bit rushed.

But they're dealing with lesson format constraints and also it's a silly otome game so I guess fully formed character arcs can't be expected. Especially since we aren't dealing with routes and they have to cram everybody into the same set of lessons.

In the end, I think Belphie is an interesting and complex character. I think there's a lot of space to explore more about this particular aspect of him, but due to the format of the media and the lack of routes, his more in depth character arc just doesn't exist.

I personally have no problem with Belphie as a character, but I also understand why people don't like him. I am always of the opinion that everyone is free to love or hate or have any emotions at all about fictional characters lol. This is just my personal opinion.

DL characters from most to least intelligent?

// Oh, this is going to be interesting!

Disclaimer: This top incorporates intelligence as in brain power, perceptiveness and so on. It also has nothing to do with morals or the DL Tokutens, since those are just for fun and not the most accurate version of the characters, therefore it’s based on routes, serious CD dramas and official short stories.

1. Laito

It's no longer a secret that Laito is extremely intelligent to the point of being terrifying. I've already discussed his big brain in this post, but I'll try to summarize it here. This man can read everyone like a book; he can easily absorb and apply any type of information. He's also the only character who can manipulate everyone, including the AB boys, and even Carla was surprised by his intelligence in Dark Fate. I've said it before and I'll say it again: he could twist every DL main cast character around his finger if he wanted to, too bad he’s not good at reading himself.

2. Carla

Literally the Diaboy who would make the best king. Despite the fact that I can't bring myself to ship him with Yui because the couple is far too disturbing, he is a wise and great ruler. We were able to see that best in LE, he's good at plans, logical, and knowledgeable on a variety of topics that can help him get out of uncomfortable situations.

3. Shu

Shu may have many flaws, but he is undeniably intelligent. He appears apathetic, as if he doesn't care about anything, but he knows far more than you'd think. I believe he is the best candidate for king among the Sakamakis because he is open-minded and can reflect on his thought process.

4. Kino

Probably a very unpopular opinion since people don’t really seem to like Kino and yeah, he seems kind of dumb at times, but I'll give him credit for being a really good antagonist. He beat the Tsukinamis on this one; this guy is really good at devising different evil plans in order to sabotage the Diaboys, which I find really interesting.

5. Reiji, Ruki

The boys who like belittling others, despite being more on the booksmart side. They're very knowledgeable for sure, they both have a lot of information in their heads, and they're also more strategic than their brothers. In a nutshell, their intelligence is beneficial. However, because of their overconfidence, they are prone to reacting incorrectly when things do not go their way, which can lead to serious breakdowns.

6. Azusa

Azusa is most likely the character who speaks the least; he is timid and silent, but isn't it true that quiet people have the loudest minds? He pays close attention to everything that goes on around him, and I firmly believe that he is one of the best characters at seeing through people.

7. Kou

Another unpopular opinion since people like to portray Kou as a dumb guy, but that’s not the case. Sure, he doesn’t care about many things and doesn’t always pay attention to what others are saying but that’s because he simply doesn’t want to. I know Kou acts occasionally childish but he has a very mature point of view. Even if his magical eye allows him to read people’s hearts, he must be very cunning to know how to manipulate everyone based on this without coming across as obvious. Additionally, he has an unpredictable nature.

8. Ayato, Yui

Mr. “I’m impulsive and don’t care about others’ opinions” and Little Miss “I act without thinking and have to face consequences afterwards”. Not counting the fact that Yui has more morals and knows more about human stuff (since she’s human after all), they both have the same number of brain cells. Both canonically have little knowledge, they require help most of the time when doing something, and their plans are literally dead ends, BUT I can't deny they're very perceptive at times. I wrote more about Ayato here; he appears ignorant but notices important details and analyzes the behavior of those around him. The same can be said for Yui, who can also be a good observer.

9. Shin

He has more knowledge than Ayato and Yui and was quite clever in Ruki's DF route, but SORRY his LE route made him appear so stupid in my eyes. All of his problems could have been solved if he had tried to use his brain, but he didn't, which is why his route was so frustrating. Don’t get me wrong, I understand that every character has dumb moments, some more, others less, but come on... he didn’t try to logically solve his problems and only suddenly had the big realization to do so, which was IN HIS VAMPIRE ENDING. I excuse characters who make mistakes or act on a whim, but Shin crossed the line in LE. I can't imagine a Diaboy in his own route as dense as Shin was there; he kept getting himself into more and more trash, which is a shame because he would have been much higher on this list if they didn’t do him so dirty there.

10. Subaru, Yuma, Kanato

I feel bad for rating them so low because I really like Subaru and Yuma; Kanato is intriguing too, but the problem is that they almost never get the chance to prove themselves. I understand Subaru's situation because he doesn't have any deep bonds with anyone, after all, he's the only Sakamaki without a brother from the same mother, and he's also quite asocial, so it's not like he'd pay attention to anything that's not his business, but I really don't get why the others didn’t get a big chance to use their brains. Yuma is very useful though, but Kanato's case is a whole other story. I can’t deny that he’s actually sly sometimes but he was Laito's closest brother during childhood; why is Ayato the one to best analyze Laito and not him?? Ayato was literally locked away in his room all day, unlike him, who played with Laito on a daily basis… so much lost potential.

An alternate take on "Moana" (2016)

I really enjoyed "Moana." It was a beautiful film with a gorgeous story and a nice twist. However, as with all my rewrites, I did have some nit-picks with it.

More deities. When creating "Moana," the directors used Fiji, Samoa, and Tahiti, which are part of Polynesia or Micronesia, respectively. I recall there was some criticism on what specific culture Moana was supposed to be emulating, and while I think it'd be fine to include other Polynesian-inspired deities, but perhaps original ones could potentially be well-received. I could potentially see it as a cross between "Big Hero 6" and "Hercules" in terms of having a fun and bubbly group of characters, as well as showing why Te Ka is such a threat to all forms of life.

2. Make Moana less obsessed about the sea, keeping it a secret from the chief. She sees how it upsets him, even before learning why. As such, she keeps this to herself, so that she can be a chief that's not distracted. This is just me, but I was slightly annoyed that her wanting to explore the reef was moreso for herself than her people, and later she was given reason to indulge in it.

3. Moana's brothers. A big issue I have with "Moana" is that the major cast is so small; once on the ocean, it's just Moana, Maui, and Hei-Hei. I'd have loved including a couple of brothers from the original concept--not all of them, since it'd be too many characters (or perhaps some go with her while the others stay home).

4. Bring Pua instead of Hei-Hei. Personal preference; Hei-Hei was annoying and Pua seemed a little bit smarter.

5. Maui's design. A critique of Maui's design is that he's portrayed as obese, whereas culturally he's seen as athletic, and it was seen as embracing the derogatory stereotype of the obese Pacific Islander. Making him more athletic physically would've been an easy fix. Along with this, I'd probably tweak his personality. In the film, his vanity is sourced from being a hero to mortals, but it would be neat if he was a more submissive character, instead being a people-pleaser. While it wouldn't make him stealing the Heart of Te Fiti right, it'd make him look less evil and cruel; it'd feel more like he was being manipulated and taken advantage of after his mother threw him away.

6. The Ocean's duality. Moana gets frustrated at the sea for bringing her to what she thought was an abandoned island (which was actually Maui's island), but we never see her or Maui question the sea; Maui just says that the ocean made bad judgement picking her. I do wish Moana had hesitancy cooperating with the sea due to almost drowning her and drowning her father's friend. Heck, maybe make this flashback happen earlier to explain why Moana isn't as hooked on going to the sea; she's traumatized, even if she finds it alluring.

Lemme know what you think! I know this movie is beloved as-is.

[1-up-chump]

Just to let everyone know my mortal kombat characterizations are a mix of the arcade games, mk1995, mk defenders of the realm, and my imagination. Rarely will i maybe pick and choose the rare good things they did in the newer stuff. Just so we're clear:

Raiden and fujin are GODS not demigod as that means one of their parents would had to have been mortal. They are GODS

Liu kang is humble but not infallible, he hates the idea of being a god and tricked himself into thinking he wants to be a chosen one when deep down he just wanted a normal fucking life. He can and will crack under pressure and just bc it takes a lot doesn't mean he'll last forever as a "hero". There are no heroes in Mortal kombat.

Kung lao is prideful in his HONOR of his ANCESTOR and the SECRET WHITE LOTUS SOCIETY. He is not anymore arrogant in his capabilities as a warrior as literally anyone else. He works hard, fights hard, for his friends and earthrealm.

Johnny cage has no fuckin deep lore ancestry to explain his powers he just has chi energy like everyone else he's just rare bc he managed to bring it out so quickly naturally no special bloodline or whatever the fuck percentage this white man has, its all him all his own soul all his own talent.

Sindel LOVES kitana and will never not love her. No matter how much dark magic corrupts her soul and mind, her heart is strong and true and Although it might be twisted she will love her daughter and sacrifice everything for her. Including herself.

Shang tsung is a baddie and he doesn't need big muscles or fancy artifacts to do so. His danger is in his smarts, even if he's not top dog he'll never be out of the game for long nor at the bottom. He will always be persistent and always there in mortal kombat, after all. He is THE tournament master of mortal kombat.

Shao kahn aint no whimp and he isn't a meat head either. He's a cunning tyrant, bold but not so brash he can't be smart enough to know what fights to pick to give him an advantage. Conquered realms with the oldest trick in the book, divide and conquer. Makes his enemies fight his other enemies, plays both sides to gain allies to his power. He's deadly because he is smart AND strong.

Kuai Liang LOVES his brother and never ever in all the lifespan of the universe and several others will he abandon or denounce bi-han. If he has to pluck bi-han's soul out of the layers of void and dark magiks that quan chi put in place then so be it. Kuai knows his brother is in there and if not, he'll find a way to give him peace one way or another.

JAX HAS HAPPINESS AND RESPECTS JACQUI EVEN IF HE SEES HER AS DADDY'S BABY GIRL BC JACQUI IS A GROWN ASS WOMAN

Speaking of jacqui, she is awesome and doing fine as takada's wife and is researching some cool magiks on the side to better help earthrealm (always leaving shang tsung on read since he wants an apprentice)

Sonya is doing her own thing. Ideally she would never had married a man she has 0 chemistry with, but if it has to happen she is divorced and fine with it and never gets back with Johnny. They're still friends tho! Best friends that just don't work as lovers.

Cassie is doing her own thing like Johnny does and has a personality that isnt "nerd dude bro wank bait" and is a warrior who goes through her own journey.

And scorpion is practically retired he's doing fine he's ok he's rebuilt the shirai ryu and everything is prosperous with the ninjas.

Reptile is actually not the last of his species and is getting some damn respect for once. Kotal Kahn is trying to better himself not only as a warrior but a leader bc he realized he has a long way to go actually. Goro is back and vibing. Sheeva is vibing too. Baraka is vibing.

MILEENA AND KITANA WILL HAVE RESPECT EVEN IF THEY'RE STILL RIVALS

Kitana is not some stuck up dipshit haughty princess she actually remembers what being under shao Kahn's oppressive regime, but also starts to realize despite that she had more privilege than others and starts to actually help all of her people and learn that edenia was never a utopia and such a thing doesn't exist, but regardless she will try to actually unite ALL of her people regardless of social status (might even abolish it)

Hey, Brother do you still believe in one another?

04.2. Keeping Secrets

Heiji Hattori x Male Reader | Platonic! Shinichi Kudo x Brother Reader

Fandom -> Detective Conan/Case Closed

Masterlist | Previous / Next |

When you're talk, talkin', talkin' 

I hear the secrets that you keep, keep, keep

Dinner time was finally over and you all were send of to bed. You greeted this happily, feeling exhausted like always and laying on the bed would be a bit of help. Luckily you were sharing a room with Heiji, if you had to share with a stranger, you either would stay awake the next 3 Days or searching for a broom closet. 

Once in the room, you changed into some comfy clothes to sleep in. They consisted of shorts and one of Heijis shirts. You loved the hoodies and shirts of your Boyfriend, a bit bigger your size—but this was the reason. Comfortable bigger and they gave you a sense of comfort. Something you craved more than ever right now.

After you both had finished the nightly routine of hygiene, you looked through the Quiz-paper, which you guessed had more over 100 Questions on it and neither Heiji or you could answer any of them. Well, a few, perhaps simple or basic one, could you answers—Shinichis constant fanboy like gushing, was quite helpful this time.

You had woken up in the midst of night. Not from a nightmare, neither from yourself or Heijis, sometimes way to tight, hugging. What had awoken you, was a unsettling feeling in the pitch of your stomach. Giving you painfully cramps, pulling at your muscles as if they were rubber bands—stretching till released to snap against your sides.

You had good guess of what it was. Shouldn't have eat dinner or maybe not that much, you didn't had a appetite at all and never really had to begin with. Sometimes you detest food or the mere thought of eating, bringing you into a mental gagging. You would eat, if only minimal, then you weren't so keen of starving yourself. You just couldn't stand it, the food and its smell, most of the time. Simple as that.

You got up from the bed, if you were about to vomit any minute soon, the bile rising already and gulping it down again—to buy you a few more seconds of time, isn't as ideal as someone might believe, it would be safer and better if you were already in the bathroom and kneeling in front the toilet. 

Heiji had thrown his jacket over your shoulder, giving you warmth with it and rubbing your back. Shushing you gently as you empty your stomach more and more. You wanted to apologise for waking him up, god, you probably woke everyone up, but the bile keep rising— eyes brimming with tears whenever you gagged and the drop of temperature you felt was making it worse. A new wave of cramps rolled through your stomach, dunking your head more into the toilet as bile rose again and somehow this one was worser than the ones before. 

Flushing the toilet over and over again was, besides your own gagging, the only sound you really taking notice of. Sounds so loud they are about to give you a headache. Swearing under your breath, that if a migraine will come now too, you're gonna scream. Such a great way to start the day.

Laying on the couch, cold wet cloth over your face, you barley stayed focused for whatever seemed to happen. The morning had already an excellent shitty start and to this point it wasn't even getting better.

Of course there would be a damned murder case. Of course. It's like a curse or something, wherever you went, be it with Heiji or your Brother or anyone else, there was a Case to solve next door. Like as if there was a kind of sickly twisted sale for it.

Conan had a Case to solve and to act more like a Child, then Hattori seemed to have a guess about his true identity. So being around you, for a moment or more, seemed like the best option. 

You were mumbling, probably nonsense, to Ran. Too out of it to care who it even was. Conan had notice in the morning first just how miserably and sickly pale you looked. He knew though what occurred to you, having been there for you during the many nights, back then, when you vomited your guts out.

Conan climbed onto the couch, snuggling into your side and instantly you pulled him closer. Conan, as of current, is a child and children at some point will get sleepy. A small nap wouldn't hurt, right?

Conan wasn't able to nap anyways, not with you hugging him closer and chatting his ear off, about just how adorable he was and how much he looked like Shinichi in younger years. Tapping his nose, a thing you liked to do, every so often. A sign of affection, how you always liked to call it. 

«Ne [Name], do you feel alright? Can I tell you about my favourite Holmes Case?»

«Just loosely, sure you can do munchkin holmes,» though before Conan could even begin, you had dozed off.

Your body had decided to wake up to a time, where a lot had happened. Two Victims, the murder obviously among us, no car to use and no way of calling the police right now. Heiji had filled you in with the necessary information. Such a mess and it would even get more messier.

After an hour of being awake, barley getting back into working functional and being focused and not constantly in a state of absentmindedness. A blackout occurred, you getting roughly pushed into something, sort of furniture, was basically the highlight of this trip. Once the light was back one, the apparent third victim, thanks to Heiji, and only gotten a stab wound instead of the death. 

A discussion had broken out.

«Heiji! Is everything okay?» Conan had almost gotten a shock, when he peered from behind the door. You being so near, could lead you to find out about him and his secret. Using his voice-changer, to lure you away from Hattoris sleeping body and telling you, with the voice of Hattori; that everything was alright and that he just wanted to test Mr.Mori's detective pose. 

You were relieved that Heiji wasn't hurt. Standing back up you took a few steps back, listening Heijis solutions of the murder was and for their possible reason to do such grotesque inhumanly things.

Heiji crouched down to Conans hight, giving him a smirk. Seeing the child acting even more childlike and almost skittish, confirmed Heijis suspicions.

«Oi, you're Kudo aren't you?» Heiji asked bluntly, no need to sugarcoat it. No lie or child like act could help Conan now. 

«but but, Hattori, I'm just a child who wants to be like Holmes, so what are you talking about?» Conan chuckled nervously, waving his hands around. He needed a plausible lie. Quick. 

«Sure, so then you wouldn't mind if I tell them about it right~?» asked Heiji, nodding his head towards you and Ran.

«AH!» Conan didn't wanted to shout so loudly, but he did and when he grabbed Hattoris sleeve, to pull him aside, he saw the twisting of your face into a grimace—brows furrowed. You were skeptical.

During the long bus ride home, Conan had taken a seat next to Hattori. Speaking with him in a hushed manner, not wanting to wake up—since you finally had peaceful slumber. Conan had no other choice but to tell Hattori everything of his secrets. Perhaps it was for the best, if he didn't want to risk it of being found out by you or Ran. 

You would behead him, hating him even when you would know about Conan's/Shinichis—his secret. 

«I will tell you everything, but you have to promise me not to tell anyone, neither Ran and especially not [Name]. Promise me.»

If Heiji had known that day, just how hard it would be too keep this damned secret from you and how much it hurting you till you finally had collapsed, Heiji wouldn't have perhaps agreed to it. 

Got a secret, can you keep it?

Now you're tellin' lies 'cause you have sworn to keep it.

Got a secret, can you keep it?

Asmodeus, the LoveSick type-

While all types of yandere are Lovesick in one way or another, these types are willing to maim, injure or even kill their love to ensure they can't be with anyone but the yandere.

(I have no idea if there's an actual word for the "If I can't have you no one can" Yandere types so I made my own name for it)

Cross posted on my AO3 (link in bio)

"MC darling, who are you texting?" You were smiling down at your phone and giggling to yourself, Asmo found this suspicious, he felt jealousy build up inside him.The mere thought of you acting all giddy for someone that isn't him made his blood boil.

"Just Belphie." You let out a dreamy sigh when you said his name. It was so hard for Asmo to keep his cheery smile and peppy attitude at that moment.

"Oh~ you seem awfully giddy." Asmo kept up his calm facade, not wanting to worry you.

"well.. I may or may not have a teeny tiny crush on him, but you can't tell him I said that! Promise me you won't say anything!" You were blushing way more than you ever had at any of his advances.

"Your secret's safe with me!" Asmo chirped, he wasn't going to do anything drastic just yet. He would continue trying to win you over before going to plan B.

But his attempts kept failing, every time he saw you with Belphegor he wanted to rip out his younger brother's throat so badly.

How could you love his lazy, bratty, weak and less attractive brother and not even spare him a second glance!? Asmo still tried so hard to keep the urge to hurt Belphegor at bay but when you announced you were going to confess Asmo knew he had to act.

You didn't give him many details about the confession but he managed to figure out the time and place you were planning.

The human realm at night was filled with billions of stars that always entranced Belphegor. You couldn’t think of a better place to confess your feelings for the star-loving youngest brother than under the stars of the human realm.

"Whoa.. I'm almost not mad at you for waking me up now, almost." He said with a light-hearted chuckle he wasn’t mad at you in the first place but he liked to tease. He was completely mesmerized by the billions of little lights that filled the sky.

"Well, maybe I can get you to forgive me.." You took a deep breath, "Belphegor, I care about you a lot, even though we've been through some not-so-fun stuff together I couldn't.. I couldn’t help but fall for you! I love you Belphegor, more than anyone else in the world!" You looked to the ground, face red, anxiously waiting for his response.

Belphegor was in shock, how could you possibly love him after all he had done? He smiled more fondly at your nervous form and couldn't stop the giddiness from rising in his chest. He had loved you too, so very much but he felt like he didn't deserve to be with you.

Belphegor took your hands in his, causing you to look into his eyes. "MC, I-" You watched his eyes go dull and lifeless, his smile dropped and his body went limp and fell forward towards you.

You let out a horrified, blood-curdling scream and took several steps back, hands covering your mouth as you took in the horrifying sight before you.

Belphegor's entire back was covered in blood, it looked like he had been stabbed more times than you could count. Tears welled up in your eyes as the reality weighed down on your very soul,

"No.. NO!" You stepped forward and knelt down before his body, holding his limp and very dead corpse in your arms. “Belphegor! Wake up, please wake up! This isn't funny Belphie open your eyes!” You clung to his lifeless body as if it were your lifeline.

You were covered in his blood as you pleaded to any higher power to bring him back. But he wasn’t coming back, deep down you knew he was gone but in the moment you just couldn't accept this as anything other than some horrible, sick, and twisted joke.

Then you spotted Asmo standing not far from you, almost hidden by the trees. “Asmo?” You weren’t sure if it was really him but then he began walking closer, he looked unsettlingly calm.

His unnerving demeanor was ignored and you ran to him, not once thinking he could possibly be the culprit. "ASMO! W-what the fuck just happened!?" You sobbed into his neck, Asmo wrapped his arms around you securely as you cried, your whole body was trembling.

"Shhh, everything's going to be fine." His tone scared you, even though it was light and loving he didn't at all seem upset at the sight of Belphagors body.

When you tried to pull away he wouldn't let you go. "Asmo you're scaring me, please let go." You said in between hiccups, but his grip only tightened.

"MC, do you love me?" He asked, "What? How could you ask me that right now!? We have to get Lucifer and Dia, Belphegor-!"

"He's already dead, there's no use getting them. Now answer me! Do you love me like you love him!?" It was getting hard to breathe.

"Asmo that hurts! Please let go, I can't breathe!" You pleaded,

"ANSWER ME!" He sounded angrier.

"No! I d-don't love you!" His arms went slack and fell to his side. You immediately stumbled backwards, your legs were trembling but you didn't let yourself fall.

Asmo began cackling, his head thrown back as he laughed,

"Asmo you're scaring me." Your voice shook as you spoke, you felt like you were gonna throw up.

"That's too bad, I was really hoping we could live a happy life together. But I guess you could never love me in the way I love you, that's just too bad." He tilted his head forward and you could see his now tear-stained face, you nearly approached to offer comfort by reflex.

"MC, darling I love you, so much more than anything or anyone in this world! I love you so much it hurts!" Every step he took towards you you took one back. Eventually though he lunged at you, pinning you to the ground right next to Belphegor’s body.

His hands wrapped around your neck and you were helpless to stop him. As your vision began to fade you reached out to Belphegor's body, desperately wanting to feel his touch just one last time.

"Even now all you can think about is him! LOOK AT ME! I want your last moments to be filled with only me!" Asmo whined like a child for your attention but you ignored him. The last thing you were going to do was comply with the person who killed the love of your life.

Finally, you lost consciousness. It wasn't as painful as you thought it'd be. After getting over the shock of being choked it felt like drifting away into a pleasant sleep. It felt like when you woke up Belphegor would be right by your side again, holding you and loving you again.

You allowed yourself to live in the fantasy, the lack of oxygen made it easy to throw out logical thinking. You weren't going to wake up, neither was Belphegor, but you could have sworn you heard his voice calling to you.

And you followed it.

Asmo sat on top of you, his whole body trembled and his hands felt as if they were locked around your neck. Tears ran rapidly down his face and onto your dead body.

"T-There, now no one can have you. You've made your choice and these are the consequences." Asmo spoke as if you were still alive. He let go of you, his fingers feeling stiff, and lied down beside you, curling himself around you.

"Oh MC, I still love you. Don't worry, I forgive you for ignoring me, because you'll never do that again." Broken laughs mixed with sobs filled the quiet space.

"MC, I'm so sorry.."

Act 1, Scene 1 of Twisted Veronaville: Everything That Already Happened

The story of Romeo and Juliette begins as it began before. Romeo and Juliette meet at a party hosted by the Summerdream family, where Romeo discovers that the girl he had a crush on, Hermia, liked someone else. He catches Juliette's eye, and the two have been seeing each other in secret since.

Juliette: Romeo, I was thinking we should go steady.

Romeo: Really? Well, I...um...okay! Sure! We can go steady.

Juliette: Great! And are we still on for meeting at your house tonight?

Romeo: Yep.

Juliette: Awesome! I love you, Romeo!

Romeo: ...Love you too.

But unlike the previous secret meetings beforehand, this one doesn't go as planned.

Romeo: Juliette, you're here!...why's Tybalt with you?

Juliette: He caught me sneaking out and insisted on coming...I'm sorry.

Romeo: Tybalt, if you wanted to see my brother you could've just waited another thirty minutes. He's at work right now.

Tybalt: I'm not here for your brother. I'm just making sure Juliette doesn't get hurt by one of you disgusting Montys. I know what you did to Hermia, and I'm not letting you use Juliette as a rebound.

Juliette: Tybalt, it's not that big of a deal. So what if he used to have a crush on her? Mercutio used to have a crush on her, and you never attacked him for it.

Tybalt: That's because he always had that fucker Benvolio with him! But now that he's been fucking exiled from the family...

Romeo: Don't fucking bring Benvolio into this!

The sound of a car pulls up as Mercutio steps out, having just finished a day of work.

Mercutio: YEAH! BEAT HIS ASS, ROMEO!

Tybalt: YOU'RE NEXT!

Juliette: You really need to stop beating people up.

Tybalt: They're Montys, not people!

Juliette: This is why we can't go anywhere with you! Bringing up Benvolio to provoke Romeo is a new low, even for you! How'd you like if it they brought up-

Tybalt: DON'T FUCKING MENTION THE FIRE!

Juliette: I wasn't going to! But you know what I mean, right? Can you at least, like, try to get along with them? For me?

Tybalt: ...

Tybalt: No.

Juliette: Ugh, I wish I had a different brother...let's just go back home. I'm going to go say goodbye to Romeo really quick...

Romeo: So, how are you feeling?

Mercutio: How are YOU feeling? You got beat up even more than I did. And you really need to get better taste in women.

Romeo: But I like Juliette! She's sweet, and super funny! I think I'm in love!

Mercutio: You said that with Hermia, too, just a couple of days ago before we saw her at Puck's party.

Romeo: Don't act like you didn't like her too...I'm surprised you're not mad at Puck about that.

Mercutio: It does sting, but he's my friend. I'd feel the same way if Benvolio was the one who got with her, too...I still find it funny how all three of us had a crush on her.

Romeo: How are you okay with bringing him up so casually? Nonno and Nonna did banish him, after all...

Mercutio: I'll be able to talk to him once I go to college, which isn't really too far off.

Romeo: If he's not dead.

Mercutio: He's probably fine. He was always the most reasonable out of us three, so he's probably found a way to survive.

Romeo: ...I hope you're right.

TO BE CONTINUED...

[eisforeidolon]

I remember Goob using several mental gymnastics to prove that Dean was actually thinking about Castiel instead of Sam in Red Meat. According to his logic, the line ''with different outcomes'' means that Dean was thinking about Castiel because 'outcomes' was plural so it was not just about Sam / or that it was about Castiel because of the line ''in his own way'', because 'in his own way' line could be about Dean losing Castiel to possession.

Never mind that Castiel does not even appear in the episode at all, that his name does not even get mentioned in the Red Meat script, and the only name Dean thinks of is 'Sam'. Plus the fact that he says he ''just went through the same thing'', so the line directly refers to Sam because he literally just watched Sam die in the same episode and he promised he'd come back to get Sam. Castiel's name is not even written in the script and clearly Dean does/did not think about him at that moment.

I swear to God, Goob pulls so much bullshit that it is actually hilarious but also sad considering how many people can fall into his crap and believe his claims.

This was also the case with the Siren episode. I remember Hellers making analyses on the episode and saying the Siren was actually Castiel because he was dressed like Castiel, so Siren (supposedly) appeared as Castiel to Dean in the episode instead of as Sam. When the literal script, again, disproves this and even the show itself makes it clear that the Siren was basically posing as Sam to trick Dean. He literally spells it out for us that he did pose as Sam, as the 'little brother' Dean wanted because he wanted Sam to trust him.

They also deny that Sam and Dean are canonical soulmates. I've seen so many contrived logic and analyses on this too just so they can dismiss the canon narrative.

It is funny that they do not and cannot understand what they see on their screen or that they choose to willfully ignore the canon to prove their ship. But how can someone just go and make up multiple mental gymnastics to ignore the written scripts is beyond me honestly.

Just ... yeah, that's hilariously stupid. As is most of what Goob spouts, tbh. Like, if there's a bad take to be had, Goob will find it. Even if there isn't, Goob will make it up. Anyone who can't see the pattern of him being dead wrong time after time pretty much deserves to be fooled at this point. Even a heller or a newbie should be able to figure out his reputation in pretty short order if they bother to look.

Again, we're not talking about highbrow literature in deep academia here, we're talking about a fantasy horror show on the CW - what you see is what you get. The show is written to a general audience that the writers honestly don't have that much faith in the intelligence or memory of - you could tell by the previouslies and occasional ponderous exposition. People like Goob want to believe instead that the writers were actually scattering hidden clues throughout to a secret REAL story for special chosen ones smart enough to find it - like them! At heart, they're nothing more than obsessed conspiracy theorists who want to believe they're superior because they figured out The Truth™ that's hidden from the common rubes. They did all the work to find out what was really going on, why won't reality validate them?!?

The thing is, even if in the show Dean had stabbed Castiel in the face while saying, "I fucking hate you, you backstabbing weasel!"? They would write several thousand words of meta about how it was aCtuAlLy Dean expressing his hidden sexual desires through rage out of shame because he's incapable of accessing his other emotions because of John's homophobic abuse uwu. Twue Lurve! So no, it's not surprising they try to twist script notes that literally mention Sam into being about Castiel, try to ignore the siren literally saying he's trying to take the place of a little brother, insist Ash can't possibly know what he's talking about when he brings up soulmates, and on and on because [frothing batshit nonsense]. In their wacky mixed up world, there is no SPN, only D/C. They need the validation of it being real.

I have been... well not exactly tapped for inspiration, I have a sort of filler story that takes place between the next main event of the main story and of course what just happened earlier planned, but I gotta run through a bit of hoops in order to make the story as accurate as possible.

Until than, I've decided to make a mass relationship chart for my beloved princess Amelia! Features not only canon characters, but the OCs of: @dark-twist-fairytales, @bluetorchsky, @jaytoons7, and @howlerlight.

Anyway let's get started!

Key:

💫Friendship 💞Found Family/Brother/Sisterhood 🤝Professional 💖Crush 💕Wants to get to know better 👀Admiration 💥Hate

Amelia 💞 Charles Calvin Well it's no secret that this is the case for them. Amelia has known Charles since he was first booted up at Site A at the Project SAI complex and she's going to keep seeing him as the little brother she has to protect for as long as she can. Charles see's her as more a friendly rival, but they have their moments.

Amelia 💖 Dave Panpa She doesn't know how it happened. Maybe it was the way he smiled after they managed to get rid of the virus that was in Charles some time ago. Maybe it's how he giggles whenever he hears a silly joke. Maybe it's the look of determination on his face as he plays the drums. Either way, her inseams start steaming like crazy whenever she sees him and she hates it. Because she knows sooner or later her dad's going to find out. And Dave has already had enough trouble with Toppats as is...

Amelia 💞 Reginald Copperbottom This was an obvious one, but to go into further detail, Amelia really sees Reginald as a really fun dad, who encourages her to go above and beyond and helps her see her best self. He inspires her in many ways and he loves her because she's his princess and he would move mountains to keep her safe from harm.

Amelia 💞 Right Hand Man Amelia often seeks out the Right Hand Man whenever she needs advice, seeing him as someone who she can talk her troubles out with. They're not above playing around and such, even taking time out of their days to vibe and chill with each other. Reginald would move mountains to keep Amelia safe. RHM would move entire planets and solar systems.

Amelia 💫 Sven Svensson A best friendship, hooked at the hip these two are. While Sven can be very strict from time to time, he isn't above giving big ol' hugs to Amelia whenever she requests it. She loves talking to him about various things and even helps him through his troubles from time to time. Sven sees her as a little sister.

Amelia 💞 Burt Curtis Amelia sees Burt as the cool older brother she wishes she could have. He taught her everything she knows about hacking and than some and even taught her how to pirate lots and lots of video games so she can play them anytime she wants. Oftentimes, whenever her fathers aren't available, she tends to go to him for advice, since he seems to have the best advice as well. Burt definitely loves her like a little sister and would kill if meant keeping her safe.

Amelia 💞 Carol Cross Amelia sees Carol as a cool big sister, oftentimes rough housing with her. Since Carol was her former Toppat mentor, she tends to hang around her every now and again. Carol taught her how to manage her hair better, often styling it every now and again at her request so she can look as pretty as she wants. While there may have been some tension ever since the Site A incident, Carol still loves and cares for Amelia dearly.

Amelia 💫 Earrings Amelia loves to talk to Earrings about fashion. If Carol is her hair stylist, Earrings is definitely the go to for fashion. Otherwise, they're seen gossiping about various things. Earrings may seem tough from time to time, but she has Amelia to thank for helping her bring out her girlier side.

Amelia 💫 The Witch The Witch can definitely relate to Amelia about being the Toppat Princess, as she was one before her father, Jaques Kensington, mysteriously disappeared. When Burt or her fathers aren't available, she's usually the advice giver as well. Amelia really likes how the Witch isn't afraid to be herself and the Witch loves the weird girl™ vibes that Amelia has. Kinda reminds her of her younger self...

Amelia 💕 Minerva Price Amelia has only heard about Minerva in passing and the same can be said for Minerva as well. Her dad talks about her often and she started to connect the dots that she and Rupert must be related. She doesn't seem to have connected the other dot on why the Toppat Clan is protecting her (and for free) however...

Amelia 💫 Ezhno Nies She does see him as an older brother, but in the end, she's just a friend to him. She had to admit, she was a bit freaked out by his arm at first, but eventually she got used to it. She loves to help him out in the archives every now and again, but she also loves to have those random rants with him as well. She worries that she's overwhelming him too much, however...

Amelia 💞(and slight 💖) Keegan Moore While not as strong as her crush on Dave, she had to admit she found Keegan pretty handsome. But she still loves to hang around him, vibing and playing around, doing silly dances and playing video games with him as well. She hopes that Keegan will tolerate her Weird Girl™ vibes for as long as he can.

Amelia 💕 & 🤝Jay Benson The two have exchanged words now and again, but Amelia desperately wants to get to know Jay a little better. She can relate to him on running away from something because of what you are, but until than, their relationship is strictly professional

Amelia 💫&👀 Accordion Amelia is super duper still unsure of Accordion's prosthetics, but she still admires him nonetheless. She sometimes climbs on his back (WITH PERMISSION) so she can get rides from him and sometimes talks to him about random things she's thinking about. She loves him like a friend and like a big brother, although she hasn't been completely honest about everything (regarding Charles and such)

Amelia 💫&👀 Violin Just like with Accordion, Amelia loves him like a friend and brother and really admires how amazing he is. She isn't likely to climb on his back like with Accordion, however she still does it on occasion. She wants to learn how to play the violin from him (since asking Burt was fruitless due to his own bad memories with the instrument) and has even stolen a violin from a music store, keeping it locked in it's case until she gets brave enough to ask him...

Amelia 👀 Nicole Dex Amelia seems to really admire Nicole and how she runs things. While she had turned down her offer, she hopes that one day she can be as cool as her. She talks to her in passing every now and again.

Amelia 💕 Hazel Dex Dr. V mentions her every now and again whenever Amelia goes in for repairs. She's never met her though. She seems pretty cool though, so she has to meet her soon!

Amelia 👀 Jane Dex I mean, of course Amelia isn't going to have a high opinion of someone working in the government, but the one thing she admires is how much of trouble maker she is despite her alignment. She's asked Charles about her multiple times, but Charles just shakes his head, shrugging because he never really got to know her before he was kicked out so...

Next bonus part with Nayuta [coming soon]

Vil👠

honey you're beautiful, those yellow eyes and that red hair along with that charming, intimidating smile a poisonous yet gentle aura would be a perfect addition to Pomefoire, hm? don't you want to?what a shame....

Vil at first didn't pay much attention, reader is just another pretty face but it doesn't come close to his feet

I don't you have much to say about it???your interaction was very little,but with meaning

Naive

Just another pawn, in the end he didn't have anything useful to help against the chainsaw man but his poison skills are powerful

Maybe we'll talk later Vil, maybe you'll be useful to Reader,who knowns?

After the Overbloat, Vil understood where such beauty and charisma came from, after that he will walk away, little does he know that he has already become a weapon like everyone who enters reader's path

Kalim ft.Jamil🐍

This two... They are a problem, especially Jamil, you two have very similar abilities, but of course Reader is stronger, they are the physical representation of control, during the Scarabia arc, Jamil thought He was controlling Reader but they were just running according to his game so as not to cause suspicion, at this point it was more interesting to know Jamil's intentions

Oh, one more thing in common...they both want control of everything, but on different levels.

Meanwhile Kalim reminds Reader a lot of someone named Danji, both innocent who are easily deceived, it's even nostalgic

During Overbloat, was the problem resolved even too easily? Seriously at this point maybe showing the control powers isn't so bad anymore, but a little secret sample again doesn't hurt

When Kalim discovers the truth, this ball of the sun doesn't stop asking questions, getting to the point of being irritating, as for Jamil, after that day, Reader may never be able to talk to Kalim again without being in secret

But does it really matter? Just another victim

Idia💻

I feel sorry for him, again Reader just played his game until they got bored

They have nothing in common, this friendship didn't last very long,Reader doesn't understand TWST technologies very well

Idia felt right away that something was wrong with Reader, in addition to being too sociable, beautiful, a pleasant voice, contagious smile, OH MY GOD IDIA DON'T TELL ME YOU-ah not just another comparison with an SSR character nothing much...

At this point he's already out of control, he's been manipulated

First sight day when he faced directly Reader knew they were a demon, that fragile human appearance will not fool him

Wait....what were you two talking about anyway?

Something's gone... His memory...HOW????

He finally remembered now, but it all happened so fast, so can you bring his brother back??? no? ah...

Malleus🐲

Ok now who is more powerful? You are certainly a very peculiar duo, Malleus has a mental strength worthy of a king, but this was his first friend..

Good luck to Sebek if he finds out about this before Reader tells him, wait, who is Sebek?

Everything has to go according to plan, Malleus certainly wasn't planned, but it's not bad to have new minds to fool.

There's not much to say about Malleus he's just someone who was more naive than the others, but maybe deep down Reader has some kind of affection for him and doesn't use him for the worst.

Woah it's been a while since I wrote I did the first part as a test but I didn't think it would have such a repercussion, I would like to thank and apologize for the characters left OOC, I'm not very good at writing

[avani008]

hi!! have you seen the brahmastra movie yet? it seems like something you'd like to write a fic about

I...have mixed feelings.

(What else is new?)

First off, the worldbuilding is excellent, and I love the nod to the fact that astras technically don't have to be arrows; instead, they are more sources of power that can be infused into anything, even (as in the Mahabharata, famously) a piece of straw.

(Actually, this does bring up the intriguing possibility that Sita's taunt to Ravana that she can hold him off with just a blade of grass isn't just an insanely bold bluff. This is a woman who grew up surrounded by rishis--who usually are the ones to hand out the secrets to using astras--and whose husband definitely knows how to use at least a few by the point. If you go with the Adbhuta Ramayana version, where Sita takes the form of Kali to defeat Ravana's brother, it's pretty much canon.)

However, the love story bored me to tears, and the lack of female characters (Junoon, in fairness, gets to be an interesting, competent and relatively unsexualized villain--and gets promptly killed off. Isha has nothing even vaguely approaching a character arc, much less any backstory besides "being from London") honestly keeps me from working up any fervent fannish interest. Even say, Padmaavat with all its problems, had multiple female characters with different points of view; Brahmastra: Part 1 really lacks that for me.

But Amrita in Part 2 absolutely looks poised to change all that--and Deepika in particular can pull it off, I suspect.

Final pedantic point: I know why they kept it this way (name recognition, of course) but the Brahmastra isn't actually the most powerful weapon in the epics--it's the Brahmashira, which is the one that Arjuna and Ashwattama are using at the end of the Mahabharata, and the one that Krishna and the other gods literally forbid them to use because it's so destructive. That said, there's been a lot of use of more obscure weapons, so this might be a plot twist for movie 3? But anyway, just saying.

[IMAGE NOT FOUND]

Rudyard & Antigone (Wooden Overcoats): These two depressing siblings run a funeral home on the island of Piffling. It used to be the only one. It isn't anymore. With the arrival of the new undertaker Eric Chapman, the two try everything in their power to undermine their competitor. Well, mainly Rudyard does. Antigone is in love with (disdainful voice) Chapman, which she is very mad about.

Why I like these guys: They're just hilarious. Rudyard is a sad little angry man and everybody hates him. Antigone was diagnosed with depression at birth. Wooden Overcoats is a great comedy with sincere moments. Besides the joking at their expense, their character growth is notable, too. Over the course of the series, it becomes apparent running the funeral home is only dragging them down. As the two find their own passions, they become actually likable to others. It's incredible. I love when comedies make me cry sometimes.

Stocke & Eruca (Radiant Historia): Stocke is a secret agent in the service of the technological nation of Allistel. Eruca is the princess of Granorg. The two nations are at war. When Stocke is ordered to assassinate Eruca, he quickly discovers that more is afoot. Eruca, meanwhile, vows to bring peace to all to make up for the death of her brother. Between government conspiracies and Stocke's time travel shenanigans, you can see where this plot twist is going...

Why I like these guys: they make me so insane. the foreshadowing in radiant historia is RIDICULOUS it's a masterpiece. Eruca gets super sad about her brother's death and looks at Stocke like. you sure do look like him. Stocke meanwhile called the royal family barbaric for their dark magic rituals and one time used Eruca's bros name as an alias. Eruca also uses GUNS. that's her weapon. Stocke is a fencer but Eruca shoots people. They r sooo tragic siblings and it makes me insane. Eruca sold her soul to save him. Stocke doesn't even remember. Fucked up shit!! I love it!! Did I mention that Radiant Historia is abt time travel yet? That owns.

For the AU ask game -- Western Winterhawk!

Well, my immediate reaction is that @drgrlfriend has already written the ultimate western AU Freedom's Reach so I don't need to but two cakes, I guess.

SO a rancher hires a team to take a lot of cows across the West from somewhere to somewhere else, which is going to take a few weeks. Clint and Bucky are both on the team, along with, idk, probably Steve and Sam. Tony seems unlikely but maybe Natasha? And then a bad guy, let's say Rumlow for this one. He's the guy in charge.

It's miserable hard work and they're all coated in dirt and smelling like cows within hours, but apart from that it's all going fine, they're having companionable campfires in the evening and Clint and Bucky are making eyes at each other, casually flirting, all that.

Except PLOT TWIST Bucky and Steve are actually sheriffs who are undercover because they're herding the cows through an area where a gang of outlaws operates, let's call them Hydra. Not sure that's the most historically realistic name for a bunch of Western bandits but screw it. Bucky and Steve got wind that the outlaws had been tipped off that the cows were being herded their way, and that Rumlow is also transporting something smaller and more valuable with the cows as a bit of a front. Uh, let's say a case of fancy Swiss watches that the rancher's brother imported for him and he's selling to a watchmaker in the town.

Anyway, Bucky can't get completely close to Clint in case he gives himself away, and also he and Steve aren't sure who amongst the cowboys is leaking info to the bandits, so there's a bunch of pining and Clint wondering why this isn't happening when Bucky is so clearly into him, and Bucky lamenting to Steve that he has to be Professional about all this no matter how sexy Clint is etc etc.

They get to the bandit country, all of them on high alert as they sneak through the mountain pass but OH NO there's an ambush, the bandits come riding down and attempt to murder everyone and steal the cows and the money. Bucky and Steve are ready for them and there's a firefight. Clint helps them with his bow, and they hold the bandits off long enough for the others to escape with the cows (man I am glad I don't have to write a fight scene that involves having to rescue a herd of cows).

Except SHOCK Rumlow is the bandits' inside guy, he attempts to take out Bucky from behind, Clint saves his life but gets a little bit shot in the process. Steve shoots Rumlow, Bucky grabs Clint, and they ride off after the others and the cows leaving Rumlow for dead. They also manage to keep hold of the case that the watches are in.

When they stop to regroup, Sam fixes Clint up then he and Bucky have a touchingly romantic moment and end up kissing. Happy moment of joyful romance.

They only have a few more days until they get to where they need to take the cows so they keep going, as fast as a bunch of cows can, looking over their shoulders, but don't encounter any other issues. Clint and Bucky cuddle at night (no sex, not when they're surrounded by cows, haven't washed in weeks and Clint just got shot) and they chat about what their future might look like.

They get to town, deliver the cows to whoever was meant to be taking them, then head into the town for a night in an inn, a hot bath and, oh yeah, to deliver the watches.

Except they get to the watch shop, walk in, and are immediately surrounded by Hydra guys and Rumlow, who is apparently less dead than everyone hoped. He takes the watches from them and hands the case to the watchmaker, who is Zola, and he opens up a secret compartment in the case to reveal a shit ton of gold. The rancher, who is Pierce, of course, is paying someone in government off so a railroad route goes through his land and a station is put in, which will create a town where he is the sole landowner. He intends to turn into a sort of cult town, bring in all the little Nazi bastards until they have enough to dominate politics in the county/state and yes I am aware that actual Nazis would be anachronistic but you get the gist. He's trying to build a community of arseholes.

Rumlow announces he's going to kill Bucky, Steve & Clint and aims his gun at Clint. This time Bucky saves his life, there's a big fight scene and the good guys come out on top. It would be super dramatic and engaging in the actual fic.

Rumlow finally dies, Hydra get taken out, Zola is taken into custody, and Steve takes the watches and gold as evidence so the government guy can be arrested for bribery. Clint and Bucky ride off into the sunset towards their happy ever after. At some point after they've had a bath, they fuck.
