BOMB DUO CHIBI HEADS!!!!

[gumdefense]

We have moved past Maya and Franziska wingmanning narumitsu as a society. They would not fucking do that. We need to realise the truth which is that Larry and Gumshoe would try to wingman them and only succeed through failure

[torglives]

i don’t love you, i just love the bomb.

alt under cut

couldn’t decide if the blood looked too tacky or not… so i’ve included both for your viewing pleasure (or displeasure i guess)

[tiedsh0es]

tried to fit as many oj ships as i could

[cirrostrata]

guys i think i like love of the s*n

[monsieurlaziness]

husk and cherri should get along in some form

so that angel in the background can be screaming in internal joy and happiness

[vampvannie]

take my hand, take my life

Here's some dad + daughter parallels that shatter my poor tortured heart even more👌

It's crazy to think they have so much in common despite completely different circumstances ❤️‍🩹

i am So Very Interested in the burger king vs mcdonalds au if you're willing to share more 👁️👁️

i'm so glad you asked

it's all grian's fault, of course. 'it'll be great if all my friends got a summer job around the same place!' he said. 'it'll be fun hanging out on our lunch breaks!' he said. 'this is a genius idea, nothing will go wrong!' he said.

it goes wrong in less than a day.

it all starts with scar's job application getting rejected from burger king. he takes this very personally, as the man who interviews him is grian's friend who had just been hired the day before, and scar had been assured he would get an easy in. ren, however, didn't like how many questions scar was asking about their ice cream machine and where their security cameras were placed.

so out scar goes, sulking his way through a successful interview to work at the white castle down the road, joining bdubs and cleo. the rest of grians friends end up scattered in shops around the two restaurants with varying degrees of satisfaction with their summer jobs.

grian, as he is wont to do, waffles around a bit before committing to a job. he's pretty sure he's going to join bigb at the library, but before he decides, he goes to pay scar a visit to make sure he's still not sulking about the burger king fiasco.

that, too, is a mistake.

grian doesn't know what happened. he swears he just meant to stop in and say hi. and maybe play a little prank! just a funny little joke! only he didn't realize how much hair spray bdubs uses and how flammable that made his hair, and really, how could grian have known that the second after he fled the scene of his crime, scar would walk in at the exact wrong moment holding a lighter, making him look like the guiltiest motherfucker on earth?

it's absolutely not his fault.

but.

now scar is out of a job again, and he's gotten it in his head that the only way to get his revenge on ren is to work at the mcdonalds across the street from the burger king and, to quote scar, "make him regret not taking my offer." and listen. this is the third job scar's had in two days. it kind of feels a little bit like grian's responsibility to make sure he doesn't get fired from this one too. but it'll be fine. what else could go wrong?

so much. so, so much.

scar almost immediately goes off the rails. he creates his own customer rewards program in which he refuses to serve a customer if they don't pledge their undying loyalty to the mcdonalds in exchange for scar certified McReputation points. this somehow is remarkably successful despite grain's repeated warnings that this is a scam- scar pulls some strings and grian is forced into kitchen duty after he tries to warn one too many customers. martyn and ren catch word of this and try institute a similar program, albeit to a much less successful degree. scar, however, cannot let that stand.

grian also cannot let that stand, but this is more due to martyn coming over every day during his lunch break and annoying grian by telling increasingly convoluted jokes all ending with a punchline relating to the mcdonald's broken ice cream machine.

so that afternoon grian and scar pay the burger king a visit. scar goes up to the front counter and gives ren and martyn the longest sales pitch of his life, something about cereal, and while they're distracted grain climbs through the drive through window and smashes their ice cream machine with a baseball bat.

that's the beginning of the end.

ren takes the attack way too personally. he gets naked, makes martyn crown him with a shitty cardboard crown, dubs himself the burger king, and declares war on the mcdonalds.

he and martyn set out to recruit for their army amongst the rest of their friends in the area to varying degrees of success. they first go to visit joel in his art shop, but quickly decide to leave after the first thing they hear upon walking in is a conversation in the back room in which someone appears to be blackmailing joel over something in the basement.

they decide to try impulse and tango down at the arcade, and both of them are so confused by ren's sales pitch they just agree to make him go away (they do the same thing when scar and grian visit them a few hours later).

ren and martyn's visit to the white castle is the worst yet. instead of walking in and recruiting bdubs and cleo with their impassioned speech and thirst for justice, the burger king and his hand walk into an active warzone.

there's smoke everywhere. bdubs is screaming. martyn swears he hears a gun go off. cleo is cackling. someone runs past them entirely engulfed in flames. as ren and martyn make a hasty retreat etho cheerfully greets them from his seat on a bench outside the building, tinkering with something that looks suspiciously like a pipe bomb.

they decide to take a break from recruiting after that.

meanwhile, scar and grian have been busy. they've recruited jimmy and scott from the florists down the road to launch a yelp smear campaign against the burger king, tanking them from a respectable 3.8 stars to 1 star in an afternoon. to a normal human being, this would mean nothing, but they text a screenshot of this to martyn and ren with the caption 'this u?'

martyn and ren have never once reacted to anything normally or proportionality in their life.

skizz, one of their regulars, also takes great offense to this. he insists that this is a devastating blow against the burger king's honor, and vows to get revenge.

no one's sure exactly how he does it, but within an hour he manages to trace one of the bad reviews back to jimmy and promptly doxes him, getting him fired due to the content of his surprisingly popular google+ account.

scar and grian, after laughing hysterically for an hour over the fact that jimmy was a google+ influencer, continue their reign of terror over the burger king by taking a selfie of them next to the burger king drive through menu, which they somehow have relocated to the roof of the mcdonalds.

it's the last straw for ren.

decked out in a red cape made of the burger king curtains and armed with a spatula and the fury of a thousands suns, ren marches across the street to the mcdonalds and challenges scar and grian to a winner-takes-all duel.

a crowd begins to gather, with nearly everybody grian knows save for the people involved in what has been dubbed the white castle war, forming a loose arch behind ren and martyn as they begin to chant for a fight.

grian and scar, who came outside to see what all the commotion was about, both predictably panic at the sight of two men in capes charging towards them backed by a crowd chanting for blood. grian tries to claw his way back up the roof while scar, possessed by the spirit of apollo, does the only thing he can and chucks a potato at ren's head.

that potato hits ren square in the forehead and knocks him out cold.

the crowd goes silent.

martyn, thinking ren is dead, drops to his knees and cradles his unconscious body close to his chest and dramatically confesses his everlasting love, vowing to never leave ren's side and to never stop spreading the tale of ren's 'grey long and strong' bits.

grian, upon witnessing this, realizes to his abject horror that he also has gay feelings for his manager.

he has no idea what to do with these feelings, and the crowd is still chanting fight, and he's experienced a lot of stress and unexpected emotions in the last five minutes, so he really can't be blamed when he turns on his heel and punches scar in the face.

scar, surprised but absolutely willing to go along with it, punches grian back, and they begin beating the shit out of each other in the most pathetic fist fight a mcdonalds parking lot has ever witnessed.

meanwhile, there's police cars and fire trucks with sirens on speeding down the road past them, and someone in the crowd realizes 'oh shit are those all going to the white castle?'

so the crowd immediately abandons the world's worst fight to go see what the hell has been going down in the white castle.

it takes a bit, but, with martyn still confessing his love and sobbing over ren's unconscious body, grian finally manages to land a lucky hit and knocks scar out, sending him crumpling to the ground. for the second time that day, grian realizes with horror what he's done, and frantically tries to run to get a medic only to trip over scar's unconscious body and knock himself out as well.

The headline of the local newspaper the next morning reads as follows:

...anyone wanna ask me about my last life mall au

[kremechihihi]

they are besties TO ME ☝️🤨

[narabea06]

HAIIII i dunno if ur still doing the silly shipping ask game thing but im curious to see urs for bryan...... /nf

I absolutely can do that!! Forewarning tho, most, if not all of this, is platonic bc I don't ship Bryan with like anyone but Vendi really (and even then, i acknowledge they aren't realistically a healthy couple, i just find their relationship interesting to pick apart and watch)

My NOTP for them - Bryan x Molten. Always despised this ship and just find it makes me incredibly uncomfortable. I'll always love Bomb Duo tho, I just don't like them shipped together

My BROTP for them - Brother Duo/Portal Duo!! (Dylan and Bryan) (I genuinely hope BROTP does not mean i ship them, bc I don't, I just like to see their brother relationship)

My OTP for them - ChaiLatte (Bryan x Vendi) probably? Idk, again they're terrible for each other but they're so interesting.

My second choice pairing for them - Again, not in a shipping way, but I do love Bomb Duo!! (Molten and Bryan) (Tho i probably would put them above ChaiLatte)

My fluffy pairing for them - Platonic Bryan and Ballora def- I've always loved their dynamic so much, she was like his own good mother figure i swear-

My angsty pairing for them - Platonic Get Worse Duo!! (Adrien and Bryan) Again, they both bring out the worst in each other but they're so sad and so interesting to pick apart and watch. It's like a car accident, like I can't not watch their relationship fall apart yknow-

My favorite poly pairing for them - None really. Favorite trio tho is probably Traffic Trio (Bryan, Dylan, and Adrien) bc of fucking course

My weirdest pairing for them - PLATONIC TRESPASS DUO. (Sabrina and Bryan ) THEY WOULD DEF BOND OVER ANIMATRONICS BREAKING INTO THEIR HOUSES AND SHIT AND LIKE- IDK- BRYAN COULD BE A MENTOR TOWARDS HER. THEY COULD BE FRIENDS-

10 and Gem and pearl for the kiss ask game thingy pls :3

Wooo gempearl!!!! I will admit I dont consume much shiny duo content so I hope I wrote them well, I love me some bloodthirsty women

Gem/Pearl - #10, a bloody kiss.

WC: 405 || original post!

—————

Scar’s lifeless body lies on the grassy floor below her. She says her silent apologies as he fades away, leaving nothing but wilted sunflowers in his wake.

Gem looks up to see Pearl staring at her. There is fear and longing and bloodlust in her eyes, swirling around with the angry red that matches her hoodie. The grip on her sword tightens.

“I don’t want to do this, Pearl!”

Her chest heaves, breathless from the exhaustion of surviving this long. Watching friend after friend lose their last life, watching the humanity leave their eyes as they’re consumed by the need to harm and steal and fight. She doesn’t know where they go when they’re gone but she can only hope it’s somewhere nice.

Somewhere they don’t have secrets to keep if they want to live, where there aren’t eyes around each corner that watch their every move. Where they don’t have to comply with every rule and whisper- where there are no voices in your head telling you to kill, kill, kill.

Pearl takes a step towards her, and another. Gem watches her sword fall to the ground behind her, staining the grass red with blood that’s still warm.

A sticky hand cups her cheek. The metallic smell that’s haunted her fills her senses, but she ignores it in favor of meeting the brunette’s eyes, even if she can feel the way it seeps through her down to her bones.

Gem leans on her tiptoes to connect their lips. She tastes metal and skin but pays it no mind, trying to communicate every apology and sorrow without words. Pearl gives everything back and more, even when tears fall from their eyes and mix salt in with the kiss.

She would kiss Pearl until they both ran out of breath, suffocating together so this world would claim no victor.

But it can only last for so long. The sound of flesh ripping open fills her ears as fresh blood leaks onto her hand. Pearl stills in her arms and their lips break away from one another’s as the life leaves her, flooding out at the sword stabbing through her gut.

More tears drip freely from Gem’s eyes as the body in front of her vanishes, leaving her arms empty and bare. Five seconds and a million years all pass at once as she drops the heavy weapon and looks up towards the secret keeper.

Secret completed.

reblogs a bunch of my deadloch stuff to ensnare my dunmeshi followers into watching deadloch

It's an unpopular opinion, I guess, but I don't find the idea of Miruko being Bakugou's mentor as appealing as much as I do with Miruko being Midoriya's mentor.

I don't hate it, no. But it does get an indifferent reaction out of me.

I know some people are like "they're alike" but the most Miruko and Bakugou have in common are their personalities and have red eyes.

That's it.

With Miruko and Midoriya?

They share a lot more in common. From how they fight to even small details like being water signs.

So much in common that I had to make a bigger post to compile other posts of said similarities here.

But they're also different. Sometimes, differences can also make a relationship between two or more characters interesting. (I don't mean just romantic, I mean any kind of relationship.)

I expand on the idea of Miruko being Midoriya's mentor here so I'll spare you folks on a long explanation. In summary, Midoriya can learn from Miruko (being more confident in himself and sharpening his skill set as a fighter). In reverse, Miruko can learn from him and reflect on how she is as a person.

I'll be honest, sometimes I feel like sometimes some of the fandom don't stop and really think about these characters. You say "I wanna observe this character under a microscope", but do you actually do it? As in, really look closer at that character?

And when it comes to both Miruko and Midoriya, I don't quite see that. I would say they're both complex individuals. Yeah, I'm saying Miruko, too, because we don't know much about why she acts the way she does (I made a post about how I figure though) or what her school life was really like, etc.

"But, Kiya, Midoriya already has All Might as his mentor"! Ah, but who said Midoriya has to have one mentor? Let alone All Might and Miruko also learning from each other and reflecting? Believe it or not, I cop some similarities between those two now and yes, I do have a post about that. Even wrote a chapter in one of my Miruko-centric fics.

Now back to Bakugou!

If y'all like the idea of Bakugou having a mentor who shares similarities in personality who also happens to be a woman...

Burnin is right there!! Oh, what, is it because she's a sidekick?

She's a sidekick but that doesn't mean she can teach anybody. And we know that she can handle Bakugou's attitude. Burnin isn't just a sidekick... she's the top sidekick at Endeavor's agency, a top Pro Hero. Same place Bakugou already did his Work Studies at! So, kind of already canon!

Also, Bakugou and Burnin share a lot more similarities than Bakugou and Miruko do.

And yep, already have a post about that!!
