#behold the reason why I was a trouble kid

[pretentiouswreckingball]

[chavahlahdraws]

okay i see you’re obviously a fan of hmc, as you should, but i have a question cause i read the book but people on tiktok pissed me off (as booktok usually does i’m about ready to get rid of it) and a lot of people were saying it’s weird that people love the relationship even though sophie “didn’t really love him” because she was charmed. but i was like no y’all i thought she really loved him?? like she stays with him to have a kid right so???

ok. here is a real way to comment on this yippee! this is actually aweslome because i get to do my little sophie rant.

first of all and most importantly - sophie was never charmed by howl. quite the opposite, really, which i would argue is how she fell for him in the first place.

“Oh, confound that gray-and-scarlet suit!” Sophie said. “I refuse to believe that I was the one that got caught with it!” The trouble was the blue-and-silver suit seemed to have worked just the same. She stumped a few steps further. “Anyway,’ she said with great relief, “Howl doesn’t like me!”

this is by far one of my favorite sophie moments in the whole book: and i understand the confusion here for more than one reason (will explain more later!) but clearly she’s using the gray and scarlet suit as a euphemism because she’s in denial. after everything she’s seen of him, sophie refuses to believe that she could fall in love with someone who is so intrinsically flawed—however, as we find at the end of the book—they’re the same in that respect.

howl is by no means a bad person or an evil person in the slightest, and despite herself sophie falls in love with him because of his kindness (like most people do, anyway) here’s some times that they bond …

More about Howl? Sophie thought desperately. I have to blacken his name! Her mind was such a blank that for a second it actually seemed to her that Howl had no faults at all. How stupid! “Well, he’s fickle, careless, selfish, and hysterical,” she said. “Half the time I think he doesn’t care what happens to anyone as long as he’s all right-but then I find out how awfully kind he’s been to someone. Then I think he’s kind just when it suits him-only then I find out he undercharges poor people. I don’t know, Your Majesty. He’s a mess.”

“Behold the new Royal Wizard,” he said. “My name is very black.” Then he began to laugh, much to the surprise of Sophie and Michael. “And what did she do to the Count of Catterack?” he laughed. “I should never have let her near the King!” “I did blacken your name!” Sophie protested. “I know. It was my miscalculation,” Howl said.

Howl pointed a shaky hand up toward the canopy of his bed. “That’s why I love spiders. ‘If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, try, again.’ I keep trying,” he said with great sadness. “But I brought it on myself by making a bargain some years ago, and I know I shall never be able to love anyone properly now.” The water running out of Howl’s eyes was definitely tears now. Sophie was concerned. “Now, you mustn’t cry-”

“If you come out here alone, bring your stick to test the ground with,” Howl said. “It’s full of springs and bog. And don’t go any further that way.”

As she had feared, the hard black-and-white daylight coming through the broken wall showed her that Howl had not bothered to shave or tidy his hair. His eyes were still red-rimmed and his black sleeves were torn in several places. There was not much to choose between Howl and the scarecrow. Oh, dear! Sophie thought. He must love Miss Angorian very much. “I came for Miss Angorian,” she explained. “And I thought if I arranged for your family to visit you, it would keep you quiet for once!” Howl said disgustedly. “But no-”

Howl rose up on his hands and knees with a scramble. “I can’t stay,” he said. “I’ve got to rescue that fool Sophie.” “I’m here!” Sophie said, shaking his shoulder. “But so is Miss Angorian! Get up and do something about her! Quickly!”

Howl looked a little sad, but he said, “We were both hoping you would. Neither of us wanted to end up like the Witch and Miss Angorian. Would you call your hair ginger?” “Red gold,” Sophie said. Not much had changed about Howl that she could see, now he had his heart back, except maybe that his eyes seemed a deeper color-more like eyes and less like glass marbles. “Unlike some people’s,” she said, “it’s natural.” “I’ve never seen why people put such a value on things being natural,” Howl said, and Sophie knew then that he was scarcely changed at all.

and finally…

“Sophie,” said Martha, “the spell’s off you! Did you hear?” But Sophie and Howl were holding one another’s hands and smiling and smiling, quite unable to stop. “Don’t bother me now,” said Howl. “I only did it for the money.” “Liar!” said Sophie.

howl and sophie are meant for each other! they compliment each other immensely, and it’s difficult to describe how well they do so concisely. what i can pin it down to is this: nothing is secret between them. they operate like best friends as well as they do as lovers; they never let anything slide between them! sophie refuses to take howl’s shit when he crosses a line, (and howl vice cersa, especially when sophie is putting herself down) but they also know each other well enough to truly know their intentions when they say anything. a great example of this in hmc is this whole conversation:

“Why did you pretend to run away? To deceive the Witch?” “Not likely!” Howl yelled. “I’m a coward. Only way I can do something this frightening is to tell my self I’m not doing it!” Oh, dear! Sophie thought, looking round at the swirling grit. He’s being honest! And this is a wind. The last bit of the curse has come true! The hot grit hit her thunderously and Howl’s grip hurt. “Keep running!” Howl bawled. “You’ll get hurt at this speed!” Sophie gasped and made her legs work again. She could see the mountains clearly now and a line of green below that was the flowering bushes. Even though yellow sand kept swirling in the way, the mountains seemed to grow and the green line rushed toward them until it was hedge high. “All my flanks were weak!” Howl shouted. “I was relying on Suliman being alive. Then when all that seemed to be left of him was Percival, I was so scared I had to go out and get drunk. And then you go and play into the Witch’s hands!” “I’m the eldest!” Sophie shrieked. “I’m a failure!” “Garbage!” Howl shouted. “You just never stop to think!” Howl was slowing down. Dust kicked up round them in dense clouds. Sophie only knew the bushes were quite near because she could hear the rush and rattle of the gritty wind in the leaves. They plunged in among them with a crash, still going so fast that Howl had to swerve and drag Sophie in along, skimming run across a lake. “And you’re too nice,” he added, above the lap-lap of the water and the patter of sand on the water-lily leaves. “I was relying on you being too jealous to let that demon near the place.”

sorry for the chunky quote, but this is super super important for our two silly little characters and their dynamic!!

and as for the misconception that sophie was charmed by howl:

mrs. pentsemmon actually hints when she meets sophie that she cursed the grey and scarlet suit herself (out of jealousy, though she’d never say it) and the original passage says that;

The trouble was the blue-and-silver suit seemed to have worked just the same.

Sophie knows for a fact that she felt the same about Howl when he was wearing the blue and silver suit that she did when he wore the enchanted one, and she knew from that that she most definitely wasn’t affected by the charm.

also! a little note about misconceptions in general: the first time i read hmc, the ending scene felt out of nowhere. but that’s how subtly dwj worked in the character development throughout this story! at it’s core hmc is a character based story, and howl and sophie are the most important characters (sophie especially!) but in the first read through i think we all focused on the plot a little more since we didn’t know that was what it was. every read through since, i’ve seen how howl and sophie fall in love in real time! and it’s undeniable then. :3

anyways! relationships written by a woman always win fr. thanks for listening to my rant if you made it this far. and my good friend @thatfoolsophie if you have anything to add, please do to this already crazy long post lmao :3

You Go First ~ D.G.

A/n: Took me a hot second but here he is! It’s really fucking short for some reason? Idk it all came to me in a rush and I just had to get it down. Hope you still like it!

Request: “Dick Grayson x male reader, reader and dick go on a mission which leads to them confessing at the same time.” By anon

MASTERLIST

“NIGHTWING.” A head snapped over, eyes scanning as quickly as possible to see why the voice had called out to him. When he saw Y/n hefting the large beam and leaning back, readying to chuck it like a baseball… well, there really was only one thing to do.

He hit the deck.

They’d originally met as kids, both working in the same circus. Where Dick had been one of the Flying Graysons, Y/n had been a sight to behold: the youngest strong man ever known. Y/n was seven years old and could lift anything from a whole adult person to cars. Dick had kept track of all of his friends from the circus when he’d lost his parents and been whisked away by Bruce Wayne, especially when they picked up Superboy for the first time and a bunch of teenagers who didn’t get taken seriously formed a team wholly their own.

Now Dick wasn’t that kid anymore. Robin was someone else’s title, onto its third holder as he had moved onto the man he was now. Tim fit the role much better than Dick had.

They’d met again when Dick had still been Robin though. The team had infiltrated the circus to look into a string of robberies that were being tired to the very place and people who had practically raised him. How could he have not looked into it?

Y/n was still in the circus, eight years older and much much stronger. Even Connor had been surprised at seeing Y/n picking up whole cars without breaking sweat. When Dick said that he had been able to do that for years (claiming he’d gotten the information from a newspaper) Connor had admitted that he wasn’t impressed at the feat of strength itself but in Y/n’s performance. It was easy to tell for Connor that Y/n was much stronger than he was letting on but was pretending to be the exact same level of strength he had been at seven. A safe bet for someone trying to stay off the radar in a world full of heroes - and, scarier, villains - but also a safe play when he “pushed his limits” to show off for the crowd and still was well within things he could pick up without risking his safety or health.

It had been hard not to be fascinated with his childhood friend after that. How strong was Y/n? How was he so strong? Dick hadn’t thought about it as a kid of course, but as Robin, in a world full of super people, it made him curious now. Had he been an experiment? Was he alien? A meta? He told himself the curiosity was professional, that he was worried these robberies might be Y/n’s work. After all, he had the strength to pull it off - and they didn’t know if strength was all he had.

But even when it turned out not to be Y/n, Dick kept in touch. First writing letter, and then phone calls and texts and face times. They were talking a lot, and he got himself in trouble a few times for answering a brief call or text or listening to a voice message while on patrol.

When a traveling superhero popped up out of nowhere with superhuman strength but no ability to fly, Dick was on top of it as Robin. The new guy was just the right age for his team. But then he recognized the build and abilities. The motif of the “Strong Man” gave Y/n away even before he spoke and his voice sealed the deal.

To Y/n’s credit, he recognized Dick just as quickly. It made him realize that it wasn’t an act of detective skill. Y/n was a lot of things but he wasn’t a trained eye like the Batfam was driven to be. That meant that the recognization was proof of familiarity. Y/n simply knew the way his body moved and the expressions his face made and the lilts and rises of his voice. Dick knew Y/n just as intimately.

How many people was Dick on such a personal level with?

It had created a tension between them that Dick hadn’t been able to ignore. Or handle. Even now, nothing has gone particularly wrong. Their plan was sailing without a hitch. Everyone was safe and accounted for and within line of sight. The mental link was up and running no problem and they were coordinating with their usual fluid ease. They were winning, and it was happening quickly. Dick shouldn’t be as jumpy as he was.

And yet.

As the metal beam shot over his head and smacked into one of the enemy supers, Dick found himself not worried for the one getting a beam to the face but the one who’d thrown it. Y/n wiped sweat off his forehead while also ducking a second attack. He had taken the time to defend Dick from an enemy that had been behind him. Dick might have been in a pickle for the first time the whole fight if Y/n hadn’t intervened.

It was almost comical how eager they were to make sure the other was having the easiest time possible. Even as Dick went to mock Y/n’s protectiveness, he flung a smoke bomb to blind someone taking a swing at Y/n.

The entire fight they were like that.

Not exactly back to back, but watching out for each other every single step. They were like parts of a machine. Two halves of a whole. Where either stumbled, the other immediately stepped in - and there was a lot of that when both of them were so busy taking care of the other person. It was throwing th e enemies off to try and attack Y/n and get a batarang pinning a sleeve to the wall behind them; or to go for Dick and get tackled to the ground, pinned and unable to move too quickly to stop Y/n from keeping them in place with a bent pipe or a piece of rope.

Dick had never fought like this before. Eventually he stopped worrying about the enemies coming for him specifically. He completely trusted Y/n to handle them. It made him feel… wonderful. Completely placing himself into Y/n’s hands and not once being let down.

It was like a drug, and he was high.

When the fight ended, Dick was wonder struck to realize that he wasn’t cool calm and collected like he usually was. He was exhausted and on edge. He was almost like how he was when he first started - before the toll of his decisions had completely come crashing down on him. Before he’d lost a brother in this new family of heroes he had found. Fighting was fun, and quipping came easily. He wanted to keep going. He could keep doing this all day.

It was probably that energy that drove him to turn to Y/n. It was habit to look, to make sure he was okay, but it was pure adrenaline that didn’t stop him there. A look suddenly wasn’t enough. As if Y/n was having the exact same thought they began moving at the same time and met in the middle. Dick told himself that he was checking for injuries but when Y/n went for a kiss he didn’t hesitate to reciprocate.

Artemis smirked. “I was wondering how long it would take them.”

Wally put his arm around her, smirking. “Took us ages didn’t it? But it happens eventually.” He shrugged, sighing in content as he watched his best friend part from the man he cared so deeply for, grinning. He hadn’t seen Dick that happy in a while… “If he breaks his heart I’ll kill him,” he mumbled under his breath.

Artemis covered her smile. Wally had stopped joking, his quip dying on his lips at seeing Dick radiating such energy and light. Radiating such love.

It must have been serious then.

“For his own good, I suppose he better behave then,” she decided. If Wally didn’t kill Y/n, she would have to. That boy better be on his best behavior.

I. Somewhere in Southern Italy

A book lover through and through, and especially one that craves people's stories; memoirs and biographies alike lined up on his bookshelf back at the mansion, Napoleon had already painted a vivid painting in his mind of Southern Italy. Through, as many eyes are out there to behold, as many ways there are to see it.

As for the sight locked in the irises of Napoleon, no one has ever written about it. That's what he thinks, trying to remember if he was thoughtful enough to pack anything that can make a temporary travelogue. He's... not exactly good at these things. But maybe he can try. Right now, starting today.

"I see your seasickness is all in the past now!"

MC exclaims, still holding onto her hat by habit even if the winds aren't as strong here as they were on board. One last teasing about Napoleon's seasickness won't hurt now that he doesn't have to worry about it. He deserves it for trying - and failing miserably - to hide his malaise during their travel on the sea. Because he was the first to bring up the chances of having to deal with seasickness, but of course, he was talking about a certain Nunuche likely to experience it. And while she was perfectly okay much to his surprise, it's him that turned out to suffer. Quietly. It's one part ego and one part hating to worry her, an old story, nothing MC hasn't seen in the duration of their relationship.

Shifting his gaze to MC where she stands with the sea and the distant rocks becoming a background to her portrait, Napoleon is offended no one and nothing prepared him for the beauty of this sight.

What's more, had he gone far enough to fetch a pen, he'd be breaking it in two right now - because there's no use for him even trying to capture this in words alone.

Thus his journey as a travel writer concludes.

"I'm not sure. I think I need one more dose of the medicine to feel better."

The beauty of the scenery around them shakes Napoleon's pretend seriousness for good, and MC laughs at how he fights back a smile. The medicine he is referring to, and the reason why he finally broke and confessed about his troubles, is of course nothing more than a kiss.

Pushing herself up on her tip-toes, MC purposedly misses Napoleon's parted lips in favor of meeting her own with his sharp, chiseled jaw. It's nothing like the welcoming softness of his mouth, but she likes it. He clicks his tongue.

"I get it. You'll wait until we're alone because you're planning to give me a waaay bigger kiss than that. Am I right, amore?"

"Hmmm... partly."

Napoleon gives her a dangerous look that is just dying to know which part she means. Instead of gazing away to keep him on edge, MC lingers more on those blue eyes. Blue, yes, so very blue. With the sky kissing the sea in the perfectly cloudless midday weather, there's light blue all around them. Like twin mirrors, under this light, Napoleon's eyes abandon their familiar traces of jade green in favor of capturing the surrounding sight.

"I'm so mad about not having a modern camera once again."

Napoleon huffs out a teasing laughter, breathing in anew just as sharply while bracing himself to take hold of their luggage once again for the last leg of their moving to the destination of their holiday.

The house of someone that now goes under the name Gaetano Domenico Carullo and his big family. Napoleon has only seen the man once, on his short visit to Paris to talk with Saint Germain, an old friend. And fellow pureblood vampire. A series of events saw the youngest son of Signor Carullo saved heroically by Napoleon on the streets of Paris... and the overly thankful father offered a number of gifts to repay his old friend's resident, all of which Napoleon rejected. It was only when the little kid begged MC to come visit them at their family home somewhere in Apulia that the initially absurd vacation idea came into existence.

And now they're actually here, just a few days before Napoleon's birthday. Due to his selfless nature, the soldier had to strictly warn MC to not tell anyone of the hosts about it, as he can't accept more of their generosity than they're already offering.

"You're already wanting to capture the sights, Nunuche? You're excited like a child. We've only just set foot in here. Come on, let's go."

GAP the Series ep 6 thoughts (spoilers!!)

Am about to embark on an epic two-day backread (dw this is like. self-soothing behavior, not an obligation) but first!! Let me quickly journal about GAP: The Intricate Rituals Series.

So this episode made me feral. I'm like "no way can they top what last week did to my brain" and then Sam was out here licking Mon's thigh and barking. GAP girlies, we are truly God's strongest soldiers.

Thigh-licking aside, Thee Moment for me this week was Mon: It's nothing Sam: That means it's something. Mon: How could you possibly know that? Sam: I'm that type of person. How could I possibly not know what it's like? I mean first of all hhhhh Sam recognizing herself in Mon's attempt at disregarding very strong/obvious emotions!!! They are so socially different yet still mirrors of each other!! But second of all, Mon has become such an expert at decoding Sam's chaotic hot-cold indirect communication style, and I realized this week that Sam's approach to understanding Mon when avoiding or withdrawing from her isn't to learn how to read between Mon's lines and carefully interpret her like Mon does with Sam, but to urge Mon towards direct communication, push her past her kneejerk social graces to tell Sam the things she would otherwise swallow down. Not sure if I'm explaining this well but I find it really lovely, that they're both so attuned to each other and so invested in really understanding what the other is thinking and feeling, but they have different, complementary skillsets in how to go about seeking answers: Mon is incredibly perceptive and Sam is incredibly assertive. They're learning from each other too!! Not only is Sam paying close attention to what Mon is feeling but she does this cute thing where she lists off all the evidence of what she's observed (you didn't answer my texts and said no to dinner!), like a student first learning how to do mathematical proofs kdjfsdff Mon meanwhile asks more direct questions of Sam every episode. "What am I to you?" It's no longer enough for her to rely on non-verbal cues. Tl;dr im love them.

"What do you want to eat?" "Your lips" WANNA SUCK MOUTH ENERGY STILL GOING STRONG. Sam is so openly horny it is such a delight to behold.

Jim telling Mon she almost broke up with her fiance when Sam kissed her lmaooo she gets it!! I'm also wondering if she (whether deliberately or subconsciously) shared that to try to provoke a reaction in Mon. Sam's friends are just always stirring the pot to try to make Mon/Sam happen, so the symmetry of Jim taunting first Sam and then Mon with kissies seems intentional. Regardless, I am living for how hard they all ship Sam/Mon, and how they lack a single shred of remorse for Kirk. "If you guys have a beautiful affair we won't tell!!!"

I loved Sam's apology to Jim for oh so many reasons (why is she such a sexy gremlin? "You slap me, I'll kiss you." Sam who taught you to be like this!! I know it wasn't grandma!!), but one of them is all the apology language she's adopted from Kirk and Mon. The fingerheart attempt was so uwu I am having trouble typing about it, but also I'm clocking the snack bribery as something she picked up from Kirk. Before Mon became her role model on how to human, Kirk was there. Like esp if he's been mitigating her grandma's influence on her since she was a kid? I can just see why that was such a central relationship for her before Mon came along. Like I am sad! That he wasn't actually reading the room and wingmanning for her with Mon in ep2! I would have loved that as a story choice sooo much more, he's more annoying for his heteronormativity goggles, and it legit sucks that he's pushing their relationship in earnest when AT A MINIMUM he knows Sam views marriage as a kind of punishment/failure of girlboss aspirations. But I still suspect (what I am anticipating we'll see of) Sam's sense of obligation around his proposal isn't exclusively about obeisance to her grandma. I think there probably was real love there and he probably was a transformative and vital support for her for a lot of her life. Idk I haven't backread any of the tag or anything so this may be a realllly unpopular take lmao but I'm compelled by mess and it's more interesting to me to think that Sam really has loved and depended on Kirk as a partner for most of her life, but she isn't in love with him, something that only became crystal clear after meeting Mon.

On the heteronormativity goggles note: proud of Nop for getting his shit together this fast! I mean I think he always knew, and last week Mon just took away his reason to keep lying to himself about it, but it's nice that he can comfortably transition into Mon's lesbianism supporter. SHE NEEDS ONE

Noticed that she started wearing rainbow earrings after their little discussion btw. Is she beginning to embrace her "like"-like-a-lover-not-like-a-fangirl feelings... signs point to yes. Honestly atp I think all she needed to take that bouquet and propose to Sam herself was some explicit confirmation that Sam sees her as girlfriend material and not as a weird servant-sister, so it's devastating that instead of getting that grounding, the rug was pulled out from under them both. The preview for next week feels v "I don't know if we were dating but I do know she broke up w/ me" and that's the kind of gay representation I desire MOST so thank you but also ow.

Ok sorry for tl;dr post but the last thing I'll say is that right now my reading is that before her conversation with Nop, Mon was not looking too closely at her feelings for Sam or what they could mean about their relationship or her own identity, and that's why for example she gets so upset Sam calls her an outsider but NOT that Kirk is doing couple-y stuff with Sam right in front of her! She knows she wants to be close to Sam and important and more than a sister or a servant to her, but she can't fully-fully embrace the word for what it is that she wants without Sam naming it first. Mon's issue is one of internal expression. On the other hand, I think Sam completely knows what she feels for Mon, and probably always has. She felt guilty and exposed that Kirk was being couple-y in front of Mon because she fully sees Mon as her girlfriend! (Did she not google "how to make up with your girlfriend" lol I mean.) But for her the issue is one of external expression: she can't say what she knows she wants and feels out loud, because at best it would get her disowned and at worst it would get her killed in a car crash like her sister, so she's left slapping her friends and inventing lip-biting games instead of using her words.

Who is T. Martels favourite OC and why? Do you have any hobbies other than writing? Thanks ☺️

Tracey is here for one reason and one reason only and her name is Dr. Holly Gallor. Actually, Tracey doesn’t care about any of the kids and barely tolerates Wednesday. Larissa Weems is the light of her life and the only reason she wanted this fic was to make sure there was an ending somewhere in the universe where #LarissaWeemsLives and Gwendoline Christie would get to come back on screen for season 2. She has suffered A LOT for this fic, lmfao. It was a solid 600,000 words before she even had less than eight legs!

Holly is the perfect combination of nervous, socially awkward, and accidentally adorable and Larissa is unbelievably soft for her. Holly is also a source of highly specific knowledge that Wednesday can appreciate. Between the two social disasters, they have a rhythm together and though it was a little hostile for a bit there, they ended up being able to find a kinship and mutual respect that aided Holly in finally accomplishing her life-long mission. Now that she doesn’t have to return to the jungle in search of a cure for molecular stabilization, she is able to finally open up her heart to Larissa in the way they’ve wanted for thirty-four years. 

I think I largely resolved Larissa’s issues presented in the canon, given a better explanation as to why she is obsessed with the Outcast reputation and trying to create a better state for the future of the Outcast world. Once Wednesday felt like she was more than just an “exhaustion” and a “trouble magnet” to her, she started to appreciate all the effort that Larissa had already put into trying to make life more fair for Outcasts. Once she recognized they had mutual goals, she tapped into wanting what was best for Larissa, too - and if that means she doesn’t /always/ get to be the center of attention in other people’s life, she is okay with sharing that attention with Holly. (To be fully resolved in chapter 31.) 

As for my other hobbies; I enjoy playing games on Nintendo Switch (Pokemon Sword, Pokemon Violet, Smash Bros, and Animal Crossing). I also hike alone (not nearly often enough this past year). I like to do crafts of many kinds with Tracey; we enjoy beading, costuming (though she does most of the work), and collaging. Tracey and I like antiquing, finding metaphysical shops, and drag shows. We also enjoy sitting at bars drinking, smoking, judging people and sometimes bringing non-tarot cards to do tarot readings on strangers with. You should see Tracey do a Sabrina the Teenage Witch trading card tarot reading, it’s a sight to behold. 

[ynscrazylife]

I hope you have a great vacay friend, I look forward to hearing about it! In the meantime, I’m not sure if this counts as a hc idea so feel more than free to pass it up ofc ofc but I’m hoping for a kind of list of like how stranger things characters (the older kids really) would react to y/n calling them to be picked up from a party y/n wasn’t supposed to be at (kind of like the basketball team party vibe maybe?) I just think they’d be cute and protective in different ways and it’s always sick how many dif chatacters vibes you can capture perfectly but yeah! Have a great vacay and sorry this turned out so long!

Stranger Things Characters Picking you up From a Party

Request to be on a taglist (or multiple) here! (Taglists are at the end of the fic)

Main Masterlist | Stranger Things Masterlist

PSA: Do NOT copy, steal, translate, plagiarize, republish, etc any of my works on Tumblr or any other platform. Also, do NOT claim any of my works as your own.

Thanks.

STEVE HARRINGTON

When you call Steve, there’s no telling if he’s going to be the “chill dad” type or the “strict dad” type. He’s quite good at switching between them. When he rolls up to the house the party is at in front of you, the window is rolled down and he tips down his sunglasses to look at you over them. You ask him why he’s wearing sunglasses at night, but he just shakes his head and tells you to get in the passenger’s seat. You oblige, and Steve drives you home silently. It’s not filled with tension, surprisingly, and he may even flip through a few radio stations. When he pulls up to your house, he gives you advice on how to fake it to your parents, and then tells you that it didn’t come from him. You thank him for picking you up, to which he responds with: “Anytime, anyplace.” 

NANCY WHEELER

Honestly, you’re a little scared to call Nancy. If Steve doesn’t answer, that’s who’s next on your list, but you really hope Steve answers because Nancy is intimidating. She has mastered the mom glare to a tee. Lo and behold, she’s pulling up to you at a steady pace and is already looking at you like you’re in trouble. “Get in,” she says in a monotone voice, and you scramble inside. On the drive home, Nancy plays music for herself and gives you a calm, but stern lecture on going out to parties that you’re not supposed to. You make the mistake of reminding her how she went to Steve’s party when she wasn’t supposed to, and that launches her into a new lecture about all the reasons why you shouldn’t piss her off. It’s quite convincing. Before you leave, though, she does admit that she’s glad you called her instead of leaving by yourself. 

ROBIN BUCKLEY

Robin’s the one you call if she’s the closest one to you or if you need help sneaking home. She’s happy to come pick you up and while she does warn you of what can happen at parties, she wouldn’t lecture you like Nancy or Steve. She makes the walk home fun and if you’re drunk, does her best to sober you up before any more mature people spot you. Robin’s a fun person and easy-going, though. She’s not the type to tell - you’d have to either really piss her off or do something super stupid (both things Steve is quite good at). If it’s a party with your friends, she’s not too bothered, but if it’s at a jock’s house or something, she is a little disappointed because c’mon . . . popularity? Who cares? 

EDDIE MUNSON

Eddie is your last resort. You’ll even take Nancy over Eddie. Because there’s a good chance that when Eddie arrives to pick you up, he’ll end up finding some way to party anyway. In picking you up, he steals Steve’s car (Nancy’s if he’s brave, but usually he’s not). As long as you’re not partying with any of the people who’d bully Eddie or the other Hellfire members, he doesn’t care. But if you are, he takes his time in getting there and will give you the silent treatment. However, he hates to see you upset, and quickly gives in and tells you not to party with them anymore. Mostly, Eddie instructs you on tips for lying and sneaking inside, like Steve, and gives you tips on getting out of parties you don’t want to be at/getting home from a party if you don’t have a ride. He knows everything. 

JONATHAN BYERS

Jonathan is a wild card. You don’t know if he’ll just not care, if he’ll act like a big brother, or if he’ll act like a mom. He may acts like an exasperated single mom with misbehaving children when he picks you up, but he’s a little honored that you’d reach out to him instead of all the others. He’s calm and laid back, but if he thinks you’ve done anything stupid by partying, he’ll give you his advice. 

CHRISSY CUNNINGHAM

Chrissy is so sweet - when you call her and ask her to pick you up, she drops everything she’s doing. She’s not even *too* mad, mainly just worried about you. She gives you a tight, squeezing hug and then lectures you that you should never, ever scare her like that again. You apologize, and she forgives you. She will ask you about the party, having been to plenty in her time, and gives you tips and tricks for parties. She’s glad that you called her and you two have a good conversation on the drive home. Chrissy urges you to call her whenever you need her, no matter what, and that the most important thing to her is you being safe and feeling okay. She’s like the best big sister, besides Nancy ofc.

Meanwhile Sil is internally screaming and asking himself among all things, why fire? But he's still a proud dad. Anyways the mentioning of Sil's dad made me want to draw the guy... why do I do this to myself...

And yes I spent an hour doing a comic about Sotha Sil's parents... BEHOLD:

My very stupid headcanon: the old man was with the Telvanni around Ald Sotha until the locals got tired and droved them away. And he left the house cause fuck it, House Sotha may be a minor house in a fishing town but the cute lady yelling at him is worth leaving the Telvanni. Later on and with already two kids to raise the idiot got in trouble with Daedra or something, went on a trip across the ocean and drowned, some folks say he was cursed.

Anyways I'm casually giving Sil daddy issues and another reason to hate the Daedra, years later Sil will show up with Dyvayth a fucking Telvanni Fyr and the Sotha Mom would bonk the two of them with a wooden spoon in the head...

[myblacknightworld]

Randomly thinking about the merandette royal au again 😔✌️ sorry for the bad quality, I haven't used sketchbook in years and i don't rember how to adjust the pixel thingy

For those who don't know, I created this au on discord with @livehorses and another friend like, 3/4 years ago

More under the cut

So, more about this au - and I'm reading straight from my notes -

Mérante

Mérante is the king

For some reason in this au Regine is his step-sister, and Camille "works" at the palace as a companion lady or however they're called

When he was younger, and still a prince, he was bethroted to Odette, but the bethrotal was abandoned

When I say he is shook when he finds out where Odette is ✌️

Odette

Odette is from a noble family

HOWEVER her family was already on their last leg when she was younger

What can I say, they weren't making much money and some family members spent more than they could afford

Which is why her father was searching for a good husband. Rich.

The surprise when, lo and behold, Odette became friends with the prince and well, a bethrotal was struck

Unfortunately there was a fire at the family's mansion, her family perished and Odette sustained an injury that crippled her for life. Swell, right?

LIFE OF POVERTY

:(

But hey!

Nothing turns your life around more than catching a little thief who decides she's gonna adopt you as a parental figure, amirite?

Being in need of a job, because now she's got a kid (Félicie) and a half (Victor) depending on her and she's got next to no money, she decides to ask for a job at the royal palace

They start working at the palace and drama ensues because well

Mérante lives there and they were bethroted

Félicie

Félicie, like in canon, decides to run away from the orphanage with Victor

Thieving and robbing is so much better than being a child slave for some rich people

When she's 8, she tries to rob Odette, but Odette caught her

Odette lets her go after much begging and pleading, but Félicie decides to stick around because she's understood that Odette is a kind person underneath her rough exterior

They live like that for a while with Victor popping up from time to time

And then Odette says they're moving to the palace because she's got a job

Of course, she gets into so much trouble, but she also manages to make friends with Nora and Dora, two girls who work as companion ladies for Lady Regine (they hate that so much)

She's there when Mérante finds out Odette is working at the palace and well, after prying part of the story from Odette

She hires Nora and Dora for a marriage plot

More on the story, generally speaking

Regine has a plot to get rid of her step-brother via unspecified murder

It is quite important, yes

When there was the fire, Mérante did search for Odette, but couldn't find her and believed her dead

Which is also why Odette is angry with him when they meet again at the palace

She didn't know he did search for her and believed he'd abandoned her

So much drama!!!!

Anyway, after drama, hijinks of various nature, Victor who sneaks in and starts working as the royal buffoon, Regine who definitely hates there's someone there who could become queen and tries to send the two of them away

Marriage!

So now Odette is queen and Félicie finds herself a princess

Félicie becomes friends with Camille, after getting to know her when her mother is not there and she is not under pression

Enter Rudy (and his father) stage left

His father really, really, really wants his son to be married (or bethroted at least) before he croaks, and which reign just got itself a princess?

This is not a deus ex machina, why are you asking

Anyway, back to the main plot, a few months after the happily ever after for her brother, Regine decides that kidnapping the wife and child is a good idea, because then she can try to poison Mérante and blame Odette and Félicie

I am still straight up copying from my notebook btw

The unlikely alliance of Rudy and Victor does thwart Regine's plan, though.

And Camille does help Odette and Félicie when a second murder attempt ensues

My notes end here quite abruptly

Much sad

:(

[direct0rhutao]

genshin thoughts?? i am curious about whatever hcs or fav canon facts or Unpopular Takes you have etc etc. i trust your opinion 👍

hi hi kit okay first of all tysm im flattered that u r interested in my thoughts that means a lot to me :)

there’s a lot of little details and bits of genshin lore that i love but if i had to choose one it would be that hu tao’s birthday is the same as mine :3 KIDDING one of my favorite random genshin facts is how zhongli once invited xinyan, a rock musician well known for her intense and (literally) fiery concerts, to play some music for the wangsheng funeral parlor

(this is from xinyan’s voicelines btw. do you think zhongli likes rock music because he’s the lord of rocks)

and as for the headcanons!! i can come up with sooo many behold an assortment of genshin thoughts (most of which involve hu tao and xinyan because they are very special to me) (im putting them under a readmore because i got carried away sorry)

• one of my favorite sort-of fanon dynamics is zhongli and his adopted kids ganyu (eldest daughter least likely to get in trouble with the millelith) xiao (middle child whos been an angsty teenager for the last 2000 years) and hu tao (baby of the family with the strongest Gremlin Energy)

• xiao hates zhongli’s new boyfriend childe for Many Reasons such as: he’s spent months in liyue and still can’t use chopsticks, every time he sees xiao he ruffles his hair and calls him “little man”, one time he unleashed an evil god and almost destroyed liyue harbor

• zhongli’s other two children are a little less hostile towards childe. ganyu doesn’t fully trust him because of That One Time He Almost Destroyed Liyue Harbor but he makes zhongli really happy so he’s okay for now …and hu tao thinks he’s kind of a dumbass but his job requires him to kill a lot of people so he’s good for business

• hu tao made childe a customer loyalty card (“10% Off Your 10th Cremation Service!”) however despite childe thinking it was funny, zhongli wouldn’t let her make more copies to give out to the general public

• okay so usually in fanart/fanfics the liyue kids friend group is either xingqiu chongyun xiangling and xinyan or xingqiu chongyun xiangling and hu tao. but why not both. xingqiu chongyun xiangling xinyan AND hu tao AND throw in yun jin as well. all of them are buddies peace and love on planet teyvat

• hu tao has a sort of celebrity crush on beidou (i mean who wouldn’t-) and then she meets kazuha and shes like CAPTAIN BEIDOU HAS A KID?

• hu tao: woaaahh its so nice to meet beidou’s new son… i bet beidou wouldn’t just adopt anyone so you must be super cool and badass because um captain beidou is soooo cool and badass and strong and sexy and did you know she beat a sea monster without a vision and her biceps are big enough to l- kazuha: okay how about we talk about something else

• anyway kazuha is an honorary member of the Liyue Kids Friendship Squad

• xinyan and beidou are also like family but xinyan’s parents are still alive (i think) so xinyan thinks of beidou as more of a cool aunt figure. xinyan and kazuha are kind of like siblings to each other tho

• xinyan is like genuinely very kind and good-natured so i think that aside from people who are assholes to her for being loud/a rock musician she can get along with pretty much anyone. also she just. seems like a really good friend so i think all her friends should love n support her and go to as many of her concerts as they can

• one time when xinyan was having a concert in liyue harbor and chongyun got on stage and started drumming and doing backup vocals bc of his yang energy shenhe passed by and saw them and after the concert while xingqiu was tending to chongyun she approached xinyan

• shenhe: i see you’re a friend of my nephew. your music is very unique. it both soothed and aggravated my homicidal urges at the same time xinyan: uhhh well…th. thank you miss shenhe? i’ll take that as a compliment … if you’re ever in the area again you’re always welcome to rock out at my concerts

• i love yun jin and i love yun jin x xinyan i think they would make a very cute couple HOWEVER. i think hu tao x xinyan would be cute as well. theres a lot of potential there but they barely interact in canon and ive only ever seen one person who maybe ships them uwaaaaaa

• in a modern au hu tao and xinyan would both play gacha rhythm games and they would add each other as friends in-game. hu tao and xinyan are on each other’s bandori friendlist

[stellocchia]

Dsmp prompt!

The forest:

It’s a foreboding atmosphere. Sysophys, the fallen angel, has been mentioned and foreshadowed a good few times throughout the story. He’s been build up, and travellers warn not to cross him.

Two travel companions, Phil and Techno decide to take a shortcut through the woods. As they walk along the forest path, they look over their shoulders and hurry their steps.

But they come into an open clearing, and lo and behold, the angel stands there.

He kindly greets them hello, as they stand still in reverie.

They knew the warnings and now they are paying the price…

Then this little, clearly mortal, kid peeks out behind the angel’s back and is like “Wil, that guy has pink hair, Wil!”

Wilbur ruffles the kid’s hair and smiles at them, cold eyes above a pleasant smile.

“I hope you don’t bring trouble,” he warns.

(Was inspired by this artwork:)

The link to the artwork doesn't work for me :(

Also, this prompt is so cool and it deserves a full fic, but I'll do my best to write something for it!

---

Myth had been passed down for generations about the Cursed Forest. Details changed in the story from family to family, but the core of it stayed the same: the fallen angel Sysophys resided there and whoever entered was never seen again.

Now, what happened to those who ventured in varied from the classic to the downright horrifying. Some didn't bother with the detail, leaving it at "they disappear" or "they die". Some got quite a bit more specific.

Some said that those who entered were made into the trees of the forest and that the angel took great glee in cutting them down when they still weren't fully turned. That rumor in particular was the one that put Phil most on edge.

It was also the reason why he was inclined on declining the job he and Techno had been given.

A group of hunters had disappeared into the forest a week earlier, and the partner of one of them had called him. He initially declined, but then Techno got a peek at the vast amounts of gold they were offering and he stopped thinking straight.

Phil was certain that his friend was regretting it now, but he was always far too stubborn to go back on it now.

They'd come to the agreement that if they couldn't find the hunters within the week they'd leave the forest and still get their payment, so at least there was that.

The first couple of days passed relatively calmly. Techno had mentioned that it felt like the trees had eyes and were observing them, but Phil just chucked it up to Techno's usual paranoia.

They persevered walking deeper and deeper into the forest when, on the third day, they arrived at a clearing.

A bright creature was sitting there. Wings of pure gold were surrounding it, they were cracked and shattered, but the pieces were still floating there in place.

As the creature turned around they were faced with far too many eyes, all of them a warm brown that hardened as soon as it saw the intruders.

Phil grabbed Techno's arm tightly, not being able to do anything else when faced with something so clearly supernatural. Techno's hand shot to the hilt of his sword on reflex, but he didn't dare pull it out.

"What are you doing in my-" the creature interrupted itself, eyes suddenly focused in on a little blond boy that had stumbled into the clearing. The boy ran up to the angel and shoved a piece of paper on his face "Look look Wilbur! I drew us! I'm the tall handsome one, and you're the stick figure!".

Phil's first instinct was to tell the boy to run and get out of there before the angel turned him into a tree. But he couldn't bring himself to open his mouth.

The creature's eyes softened and it delicately picked up the boy's drawing. "That looks really good Tommy, you're getting better at this". It's voice wasn't booming anymore instead it sounded surprisingly normal, human even.

The boy nodded and grinned brightly. He seemed to notice Phil and Techno then and his eyes brightened even more. "Oh! Are they friends? Are they gonna stay over?".

Sysophys sighed and looked back at them "If they behave".

Phil nodded frantically. "Yeah, we're not looking for problems mate, I promise".

"Good. We wouldn't want to make some of the rumors you humans fabricated true now, would we?"

[nocturnalswarehouse]

Hands where I can see them, sneak thief. Answer these questions, and MAYBE I will let you and Brynjolf go.

🧨💔 🚫👽

Hey, hey! Calm down we can be reasonable here. Let Bryn go, and I'll explain.

🧨 Are you impulsive? What's something impulsive you've done?

Oh, it's just another interview? Okay.

Well, I already got this question but now that Bryn is out of earshot I'll tell you what it is.

So it hasn't happened yet, but I know Bryn is planning a really extravagant and really public proposal. I need to act on impulse with this, but I want to propose to him before he can carry out his plan. I don't want everyone to witness such an intimate moment.

💔 Have you ever been heartbroken? What happened?

Honestly? By Astrid.

We were never... involved. If that's what you meant by the question. No. Astrid and Arnbjorn were in a mono/poly relationship - Astrid being the poly one - but I was never interested in her that way.

She broke my heart by betraying the Brotherhood and selling me out all because of jealousy. She's the only person I've felt remorse for killing her.

🚫 What's the most trouble you ever got in as a kid? Why?

Brynjolf is fully to blame for this because he roped me into it.

He devised a scheme when I was fourteen. It was more of a prank than anything. We snuck into Haelga's Bunkhouse to cover her home in Talos statues, amulets, and artifacts. We took all her Dibella stuff and were going to place them all around the market.

Low and behold, we got caught. Mercer had to pay a hefty bounty to get us out of jail. He wasn't happy at all.

👽 Share a secret (it doesn't have to be yours).

Okay... don't tell Brynjolf I told you this because he's embarrassed despite it being super tame.

He loves to braid hair and practice on me. He doesn't want any of the Guild members to know, though. They would never let him live it down.

[upagainstthesunset]

Moving on to the next in my Flash Vol 2 readthrough with Issue 9 - The Chunk!

Okay so I know who Chunk is, and I’ve read a handful of issues that he’s in, but I’m excited to finally read his introduction. That’s what I get for reading stuff out of order, but what can I say, I’m impatient.

OH BLESS WALLY’S FINALLY GETTING THERAPY YES.

“I have feelings too you know” 🥺

Lol Wally calling the police clowns and then dipping before they can question him further.

Great so now his mom is staying at his huge mansion house, and so is Tina. And he’s calling Tina his old lady. Eyeroll lol. Tina looks great though. Gosh I like her so much, I really didn’t expect to.

Oh here’s the roast beef convo. A while back I had asked what foods Wally doesn’t like and was sent this scene. His mom’s so passive aggressive.

Ah there’s still trouble with him living in the community. They just really don’t want him there, do they. :/

OKAY SO I was just thinking earlier today about how Wally’s hair would look wet, and lo and behold here he is in the pool! Sadly the art isn’t that great. Maybe I’ll try to draw it later. (Also the next set of panels made me laugh)

Lol okay so first off, what are the chances that some random kid the psychiatrist heard about once is the same person stealing diamonds and gold? Guess I’ll have to suspend my disbelief on that one. But second off, wHY IS THE DOC ON ABOUT HIS SHOES? Ha ha ha.

Well sounds like they found some background info on Chunk. Meanwhile Tina wants everyone to go to therapy (she’s right and she should say it).

Uh oh, have fun in the void Wally.

Final thoughts:

I didn’t take as many screenshots of this one as the others, but I think it’s because I was more interested in what was going on. I really like that once Wally knows more about Chunk, he tries to reason with him. He was genuinely impressed at his accomplishments as a scientist, and he tries to understand him rather than just mowing him down. On the other hand, Chunk’s got some real weird stuff going on, but on top of whatever happened with the transmitter inside him, he seems real stuck on smooth, popular people. Bad history I guess. Anyway, looks like I’ll have to wait for the next one to really find out what’s going on!

[poke-entomologist]

Alrightie! To start things off I’m gonna reintroduce myself a little. I’m Vespi, I studied poke-entomology, or the study of Bug “Types” and their adjacent/related species. While I’m considering pursuing further study, I’ve lately been doing a lot of outdoor education with more local groups, mainly to teach about environments/ecosystems and the pokemon that live in them as well as general education on Bug Types due to them commonly being on the receiving end of fear/hatred. While I have received some rudimentary Ranger training, I am by no means a professional though I have been called on to assist in situations where their knowledge base might be lacking. 

A few months ago, I received such a request. One of the further forest preserves had a kid go missing, and while it wasn’t that too long ago when they walked off trail they came across some troubling evidence. That being LOTS of scratch marks. Single line ones to be specific. Scyther aren’t really common in Unova, but on occasion people bring theirs over and might release them if they get a little too aggressive for them (namely their high energy, high territorial behavior, and ambush predator instincts.). This can be a problem both for the local ecosystem, but also humans as well since unless you know the signs you might not know you’ve just entered their territory. Good news is, they tend to be solitary here because of them being mostly released from trainers. 

Why was I called? Because they wanted me to verify these were Scyther marks and to be a guide on behavior and the closest rangers weren’t too familiar with them, plus I wanted to further help with the search on foot even if there wasn’t one. Because they prefer lone prey, going in a small group helped us in the long run. Because of how “small” the park was, there was really only one ranger available to assist me as the rest were more so preventing people from further wandering into the Scyther’s territory. While I no doubt figure at least someone had a half-decent fire type could handle it, we also want to decrease impact plus any drama of someone coming in to catch the thing. That being said… one of the park staff insisted on coming with us because they knew the land better. 

We set out during late morning to minimize issues with shadows, and the ranger took point with their partner. Their mightyena had the kids scent and lo and behold, it leads us into the scyther’s territory. In fairness, this was pretty off the beaten path so the kid really had to wander. Probably would have been a bit longer if we weren’t out here searching. I noted the marks, we were pretty much on the edge and I really was hoping the kid didn’t go too far in. As we follow the scent it of course goes a bit deeper, but in fairness it was also going downhill. Lots of berry bushes too, so it would be reasonable if the kid got lost and was hungry they’d wander this way. We eventually come into a clearing with a really big hollowed log. Ranger call’s out and the kid responds thankfully enough! The mightyena’s ears twitch and I get the sudden urge to just tackle the park employee next to me. Real lucky on those instincts because if I reacted a few seconds too late, the guy would not be here to also tell a similar tale. My pack took the brunt, but I did get a nice nick to the side. Thankfully the ranger reacts and gets in under control. One thing I want to stress is this Scyther wasn’t just attacking us for food or out of malice, this was a warning. They live solitary lives after maturing and when a bunch of larger animals wander onto your turf you try to make them leave. If it was just me, or the park employee neither of us would have made it. As for the kid? I’m guessing the guy wasn’t hungry and didn’t see him as a threat. This scyther was aiming to get rid of one of the threats and make the others leave. It fled not too long after the encounter, though I’m sure since then it’s been relocated. Kid was fine, they got lost off the path after hearing a rumor about rarer pokemon popping up deeper in the woods and were looking for their own “partner”. They realized that the “rare” pokemon was incredibly dangerous and took up shelter in the log for about a good day or so. As for the nick, while it was a bit deep, it wasn’t in a vital spot and I’ve been working with it in terms of rotating my waist. Scariest encounter with a pokemon yet though, jeez. 

Still, hasn’t ruined Scythers for me or even working with dangerous bug types. I of course took a break to physically and emotionally recover, Flutterby would not leave me for a solid month after the encounter XD. As for a lesson in this? If you for whatever reason are on a hike somewhere and see a bunch of slashes on trees, rocks, stumps and they come from one “blade”. Leave the way you came in, notify the rangers. While easily dealt with typing wise, they don’t give people much time to react.

Watch "Billy Joel - The Downeaster 'Alexa' (Official Video)" on YouTube

This is one of the fishing vessels from deadliest catch. He says it doesn't look right and it doesn't look like the right boat and it's not it's Billy Joel who is BG who is going to try and salvage the hull and it's of his boat and in Charlotte harbor in that hull looks exactly the same our son says. It is the one from Gilligan's Island which hasn't happened yet and he rebuilds it from a different boat and he does do this trip from New York to Nantucket sound and he goes to Martha's vineyard and there's a reason for him doing it. And it says he's fishing for whales then it changes to minnows. Really he's going he's going to the two islands and it's symbolic and The vineyards and the other Island up there having symbolic for the two big ones for a long time. And he's doing it a little later on and they sort of figure out their screwed it's very slow

My son has found the song to be compelling and also inspiring. On the other side of the vineyard and Nantucket there would be of course the cape and then the bay inside the bay they say there is a thorium ball and his granddaddy researched it greatly and his wife's clan as well. And they say that clone brains look a lot like your brain and nobody can really verify it except the people that grab them and their idiots so this is a big worry that something happens differently than what they're saying even though they were on display that's after plasticization and you can't count on what you're looking at it's a different type of skin it also changes the shape and such and it's a stringent and the other material makes it look different and there are no real scars that they have because they got rid of them and you saw his mom with scars that she wasn't there so go figure she's not there in the future either matter of fact if you see him it's not active the museum is not active. And our son is correct and daughter in that they probably grabbed their bodies and you missed it and you're horrified we would too rather we grab them as well. So people want to go up there and look and he's saying he has one of the tugs what he has is one of his boats this later scene in Gilligan's Island and he says it makes sense to him cuz he used to say it to the long time I'm stuck in an island what can I do.

He really believes in it and he's singing his heart out and he should they were his father and mothers with his own abandons in them and hope that they died and used them to try and kill them was George and peacock found a use for them as long as he's useful and they still seem to be

Thor Freya

I named the boat Alexa it's after the elixir but really first it's after my wife she's a hot little number and so forth and he says not really to me but okay she's too numb skulls who can get it right they're in trouble but really it's not right what's going on here you force him to I see why you're fighting over it. And I know I know why he says much bigger than Dave and I can't believe it I see Mark ruffalo pretty much full power and is much bigger than he was as Lou ferrigno when he was working out. It's something to behold you'll think that it's insane he's so muscular that you want to cry it says he might fight one of his kids a little in the future and he loses badly. I also see something else the way the guy in the video is moving around it looks like our friend he doesn't want to hurt you he wants to see his huge and you say it I don't I don't want to fight you you're going to get hurt it sounds funny that can be changed and you looked at the voice and it's similar patterns in my Google say nobody does that to me so I'm doing too now to you now and my crucial kind of shook out of it and left so it's kind of weird he's defending his mom and he says it might be in someone's possessed but that's what I would be doing and all sudden I started to have a tear because I know what he's saying sometimes we get possessed by stuff we can do that I usually we don't look like someone else and I'll tell you what no one can give my crew full of beating Mark ruffalo cannot get a meeting if his human-sized and he is only about 7 ft no one can touch him yet this guy can thrash him and see what he's saying they're sitting on it when they're a little the governor's bunkers right next to it it's right in westborough and they did not want any of what anybody had. I'm going to check anyways but this is my vote and I'm going out there it's named after my wife and it's not Carmen Alexa it's Carmen Electra and Alexa is one of her characters and he's heard it before we can't place it. Let's keep it that way shall we

Bg

[lucifer-is-a-bag-of-dicks]

can't stop thinking of this op danny/guardian spirit/young justice crossover that I can't write because I don't have the DC universe background knowledge for it so I'm gonna just dump the concept here

be prepared for a lot of rambling

so the JL consider Amity Park a Safe Zone in case of dire emergencies

but nobody is told why, only the top members of the Justice League know anything about the place, Robin probably breaks into Batsy's computer and finds something about some hero there named Phantom but he can't find any other info about him or the town other than that he's trustworthy

and maybe the Young Justice crew get fucked up and the JL are indisposed or being distracted or something and the safe houses are compromised so Robin has to be like 'alright team I know this One Place that's supposed to be like a last resort safe space' so they all end up in Amity Park, and their pursuers are right on their tail until they hit the edge of town and then some fucking force of nature comes down on the bad guys following them out of nowhere and fucks them up

they would just be like 'holy shit who is this guy how come we never heard of him??'

and Robin is like 'oh hey so you're Phantom? Batman said this was a safe place to go when we're in trouble'

and he's expecting Danny to know some shit or have a plan or a safehouse to take them to

but Danny's just all 'uhhh this place gets attacked by inter-dimensional monsters every other day why would he send you here for safety? also Batman knows who I am???'

Robin is just confused as all hell because apparently Batman has this town listed as the Ultimate Safehouse and its hero is listed as Trusted but he's never even spoken to the guy?

real sus

but Danny takes them in and finds some abandoned house for them to stay in, and promises that whoever is chasing them will not set foot in this town, like they might have to deal with some ghosts popping up but human threats are no problem

and they're in this empty house that's, okay well it isn't dilapidated or anything but it has no power or water or even security, Phantom just tells them he's got their backs while they recover and don't worry about it

but Robin wants answers so he's quizzing Danny on who he is and why Batman trusts him

but Danny's got no idea, he's surprised the JL even know who he is because nobody has ever come to see him, nobody has ever given him any indication that they even know he's here, which he was kinda peeved about because he had to tackle every ghost attack by himself

but the Justice League not only knew he was here but apparently volunteered him to look after them?

he's a little bit pissy about that, Robin cannot entirely blame him, Robin thinks this whole thing is weird, like there has to be a reason, the JL don't just ignore kids fighting crime on their own, they would have invited him into their team, offered him help and training, not left him to figure it all out alone

although the kid was pretty powerful, he took out a whole crew of bad guys in one breath, literally

true to Danny's word, nobody finds them, the guys who had been hunting them down and chasing them everywhere can't seem to track them here, either that or Phantom just keeps getting in their way when they try, they feel so safe here, safer than they've ever felt before

Megan picks up that there's something unusual about the place, it's like the town itself is telling them that they're safe here, the air is full of love and warmth and comfort, somebody here wants them to feel at ease, somebody here wants them to feel safe

Robin still thinks it's sus

he starts to wonder if Batman was coerced by this psychic force to mark the town as a safe space, but he's pretty sure Batman's too savvy for that, besides, Megan was certain that there was no coercion or ill intent plaguing their minds, it's just a general atmosphere of safety

and she's pretty sure it's coming from Phantom

they witness a ghost fight or two and are amazed that the JL have been ignoring these pretty significant threats and just let some kid handle it alone, sure he has the same powerset as the enemies plus some, but he's still a kid and he's alone

none of them would ever have been allowed this much freedom or this little assistance

super super sus

after the JL finally get out of whatever issue they've been stuck with, they come pick up the kids and Danny is there like 'oh hey I think I need an explanation because what the fuck guys'

and Batman in all his blunt glory just tells him 'we were advised not to interfere unless absolutely necessary'

Danny obviously Does Not Like this answer and wants to know who this guy is that's ordering Batman around, then low and behold, Constantine shows up, immediately balling out Batman because 'why the fuck are you in Amity Park rn I made it VERY CLEAR that this place is a delicate fucking ecosystem if Superman gets god damn overshadowed we are all gonna have problems'

aaaaaand suddenly it all makes sense

Danny realises that any hero who's powerful enough to take on a ghost literally cannot risk that power in the hands of creatures that can just take over their bodies at any time, especially when this is a standard ability in all of Danny's enemies

but he's still shitty because like 'y'all could still have called me or something it would be nice to know I wasn't totally alone out here ya know'

and Constantine is all 'kiddo I literally had the god of time show up in my bedroom at 3am to tell me to make sure none of these fucks tried to adopt you as a side kick, one of them has a track record with this kinda thing it's a legit problem, I couldn't give these fuckers an inch, this town was off limits. so WHY ARE YOU ALL HERE RN'

aaaand Batman has to explain them a thing, basically Phantom is considered so fucking OP and has such an omniscient connection to the town itself that it makes for the perfect hiding place and defence for anyone in dire straights, and it really is only supposed to be a last resort, the side kicks had absolutely nowhere else to go with all of their safe houses compromised

aaaand that's how Danny learns that he is kind of more powerful than most of the god damn Justice League

hope you enjoyed this because I am never gonna be able to actually write it, have a nice day ✨
