Pavia x Human! Reader (Headcanon/s) Brainrot

A/n: My first Reverse 1999 Brainrot! I hope you like it! I've been thinking about who to make first and I decided to make my first main, Pavia! I love this feisty little man. The Navigation List for Reverse 1999 will come soon! ૮ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ა ─────❅───── Genre: Fluff/Suggestive Pairing: Pavia x Human! Reader Warning: SUGGESTIVE, cussing, Pavia (He gets his own warning) Scenting, Marking. Pet names (cucciolata means puppy) Credits: The design was made by me in Canva and the art that was used is all from the Official Reverse 1999 art. The line breakers are from Kaomoji dividers!

Masterlist ─────❅─────

Pavia who would often end up nuzzling your neck and pulling you closer after a rough day of doing his "mixed" works, either escorting a target, killing the target, or transporting goods with his wolves.

Pavia hates heavy workloads, if you were someone who's a workaholic, be ready cause if he saw you working ON weekends or working too hard on weekdays especially since Monday to Wednesdays are his chill days, he'd have a scowl on his face that you probably won't notice cause you're too focused on your task. Pavia is literally right there and you don't want to pay attention to him? fine. he'd drag you away from your pesky computer and flop you on his lap, opening the TV to watch some shitty show or whatever, all he knows is that if this gets you to spend time with him, he'd watch any stupid show you want. If you complained he'd shove a piece of gelato in your mouth, the good ones, and say "Shut up, you're working too hard," he caresses your arm his metal rings gliding on your skin before he places his hand on your waist, pulling you closer so that you rest your body on his. "Take a rest cucciolotta"

Pavia's wolves would also be a part of your lives, every day, Peter, Andrea, Maleficent, Tonika, and Leona would scent you; their scents are all part of Pavia's scent, so he never minded. They are all protective of you, after all, you're Pavia's mate, and they value everything their owner values. Usually, Pavia has them follow you under your shadows, and the ones volunteering would be Peter, Andrea, and Tonika, The other two, Maleficent and Leona, are responsible for updating Pavia if you're in danger, he trusts that his wolves could handle whatever his enemies can throw at you, but the audacity to even try it though? he finds it laughable that they had the balls. Expect to see their possessions in Pavia's cabinet once you're safe.

Every night, once you're in bed with Pavia, they will often go out in the shadows to cuddle you two, be prepared for fluffy voids!

Pavia is canonically a very light sleeper, while he finds it weird why you sleep so damn long, as long as you catch up on your rest, he guessed it's fine, you got a bodyguard for a boyfriend, for free too, you're lucky. He'd usually sleep for just 3 to 4 hours but never fully 8 hours, you wonder how he survives with that sleeping schedule, then again he's an arcanist and you're human.

Pavia has a soft spot for you, although that doesn't change his treatment of you, he will always be blunt and brash when you're being stupid and reckless. He'd be the type to ground you to reality (surprisingly) if he finds that whatever plan you thought of was a literal dream, and by dream, it's not possible to achieve. If you're irrational, he'd be rational with you, imagine if you tried to suggest a stupid plan that could get you hurt, he'd look at you with an incredulous face before saying "That's a shitty plan, let's not do that if you don't wanna lose a limb.", but if it's vice versa, he wouldn't usually listen to you, heck he'd argue with you sometimes; especially if the plan was smart, just reckless, However if you start using your waterworks, he'd stiffen up, cause you crying means he's been a bad boyfriend and he doesn't like that; he'd grumble a bit before letting you win. he won't do the thing he was planning to do.

Pavia as a boyfriend means your life will be in constant thrills, he likes to see you shiver when he threatens you, what I mean by that is if you tried to ask him a simple question, especially regarding his hairstyle, he'd say that it would look great if you were pulling it, he'd be so touchy on you that he'd nibble on your ear just to whisper naughty things. telling you how his hands would fit your neck and how you'd look great withering underneath him. Suffice to say he's a biter and someone who enjoys it rough. Speaking of hands, Pavia enjoys having his hands all around you, as I mentioned before, the reason why is because he loves his hands! they're good for killing and making you squirm under him, it's also slightly bigger than yours, and he loves that, he likes to overpower you with his strength, especially if you're the type to get easily overwhelmed by it. You're like a prey that he keeps around just because he got attached to you.

Pavia likes to steal stuff from you. He likes to use excuses such as "you don't use it" or "I find it pretty" The reason why he does this is because he has a cabinet filled with your stuff, either a broken ballpen, a handkerchief whatever, if it's yours he keeps it, he just likes to hoard, just like how he likes to steal your attention if he finds you focusing on something else (he's very much like a dog and cat mixed together, or maybe a wolf?)

Pavia is unfortunately a bit easy to scam, although who would scam him? He's intimidating, he's the type to stare into a seller's eyes as if he could see into their souls. But if someone like Tennant for example, a person who knows their way into killers like him, as long as they use their words right they could get his money an example of this are people who speak in half-truths and half-lies; since Pavia is someone that could easily detect lies, he usually cannot tell if that person is lying or not when they're using that method. If he found out though that he got scammed when you told him, he will hunt down that asshole and make sure they never see the light of day.

Pavia is the type that when you wear something sexy for him or for an event, he'd whistle and leave a mark either on your exposed shoulders or neck, he's the type of boyfriend that would support you with whatever clothing you'd like, cause if someone even dares to sexualize you, he can fight.

Pavia has a sad backstory if you manage to break down his walls, he's still the same old as he was before all of that jazz except with a little extra love for you since you took the time to get to know him. He'd allow himself to be vulnerable around you, sharing stories from his past. He's the type who may not even realize the extent of the abuse he endured till you point it out, in which, he'd laugh and dismiss it as "Tough love from my aunt"

So, hi again

Ok first, congratulations on your 100 subscribers!!! That's an amazing feat to achieve!

Second, my question is this, do you plan on making more ben 10 fic in the

Future? Why yes or why no (no judging don't worry)

Another question is, do you know Danny phantom? Do you ever think about joining the fandom and making a fic for it?

Also last thing (sorry so many questions I'm excited)

For you bnha fics, do you have any hidden lore? Or random facts you head canon about a character that may or may not be included into the fic? (Loved inko's beef in nursing school lol) And what is Yagi's pov in this whole thing? I'm imagining it as complete comedy

If you ever decide to write something for your fic but in his pov, it has to be completely crack treated seriously with him missing every flag of his student having a meltdown and a walk toward the dark side lol

Sorry for the long ask, will be waiting for your reply!

Don't worry about a long ask, I adore any asks I get (´꒳`)♡♡♡ !!! I just take a min to answer, haha. Especially rn, but thank you sm! I'm very happy about it, it's so delightful!!! ( ´ ▽ ` ).｡ｏ♡ ♡ ♡

I do want to write more Ben 10, but it's lower on the priority list. Batman brainrot had me a chokehold for a hot min there, and it just loosened, so I wanna get back on track on my bigger ongoing wip's, like my SUF and Invincible fics, and maybe even a Blue Beetle fic. They're both overdue for an update, and I've been itching to post for a while but just Couldn't from responsibilities, bleh.

If I had my way, I'd update those two fics, and then possibly muse about a oneshot of Albedo and Ben having to spend like 10 hours together, 'cause the enemy/friend dynamic is so yummy to me! Forcig them to interact like Albedo is internally hissing like a wet cat backed into the corner and Ben is just trying to vibe! Hostile, loathing force meet nonchalant, friendly energy, fight. Plus, I really want to write one more comedy-like fic since I've gotten incredibly rusty. As for my already existing Ben 10 wip, I'm quite not sure where to take it? I suppose I've run out of steam for the moment? Again, my more comedic style is incredibly rusty, so while I do have 1k of a draft, it's undoubtedly going to be scrapped and reworked to hell before it's even polished. And that's still lower on the priority list, compared to Invincible and SUF, which I'm still struggling to update.

AND I LOVE DANNY PHANTOM! I've just never had a proper fic idea for the series, admittedly. I'd also need a rewatch to keep in tune with Danny's voice/characterizations. I also read a lot of DP x Anything crossovers, and got really sick of them by proxy. It'll take a bit for me to write anything for it, I suppose? I'd need to reignite a interest!

And oh YAY! It's been a very long time since I thought about that fic, and a lot I make up as I go and try tying back together, kinda like building the railroad while I drive the train, haha. So not sure if I had any hidden lore, especially none I can think of at the top of my head? But, like anything, I can think of some!

a) Inko and Hisashi are still technically married as they never got officially divorced, Inko kinda kicked him out and he's still yearning. He admires her ability to be cut throat, and loathes her strong sense of morals. b) Inko and Hisashi met while Inko was in med school, nearly graduating! She threatened to stick a pen through someone's throat for mocking her, and he was enamored. c) Izuku gets his determination from Inko, not Hisashi. He also gets the ability to burst into tears from her. The quick obsession is all him though. d) Hisashi left when Izuku was just young enough for his parenting to still linger, aka quirk fascination, but still early enough Izuku doesn't quite miss him when he's lived so long without him.

Yagi is ABSOLUTELY having a swell ol' time looking at Izuku succeed from the sidelines. Go, Izuku go! Number one cheerleader in the distance. He would be oblivious to Izuku's slowburn sanity depletion, if not incidentally encouraging by misunderstanding, since I think that's silly. Probably offer some advice Izuku takes in a whole another direction, or comment on Izuku's quirk to be encouraging, which makes Izuku incredibly tight lipped and sweating bullets. Which is to say, completely correct assumption from you, haha!

I did have a draft of the next chapter I never ended up finished, if you'd like :D below!

Izuku has been cackling madly for a solid minute. Maybe it’s the exhaustion still clinging to him like a teddy bear cactus after seeing its first fleshy human taxi, or the sweet, sweet euphoria of a miraculous, and marvelous step forwards, or maybe he’s simply lost his sanity, but eventually, it winds down to giggles, chuckles until it’s nothing but a bright grin stretched over his cute little cheeks. 

“Shigaraki!” Izuku whispers delightfully. “Shigaraki, Shigaraki, Shigaraki!” 

Unfortunately, chanting someone's name while cackling, does sound like he’s reciting the next person he’s gonna curse to have their toes swapped with their fingers or having their spine crumble like a wad of wet paper towels squeezed into a tiny ball, so Izuku does exhibit one tiny glimmer of self awareness to simply stop doing that. The magic of sleep, he supposes, brings the wonderful gift of self awareness!

He should sleep more. Probably. Maybe. He’ll see. 

And while yes, okay, there is technically literally no one in the house except for him to see him like this, his All Might figure could be judging him! He can’t disappoint them! They’re limited edition. And oh, he should wipe them down soon. Gotta keep them in good condition! Just imagining one of those delicate, glossy figures being cracked and broken just makes Izuku wanna do the same thing to someone’s spine, which is ridiculous!

Izuku would simply never allow them to get damaged. Ever.

convin WIP

several days of connor and convin brainrot have resulted in a WIP that will most likely never see the light of day. here’s a sample that tumbled out of my head as I was trying to cook dinner. (it was chili. I absolutely would have burned anything requiring more interaction.)

so here’s almost 1000 words of Connor having a Struggle.

***

Too many thoughts. Too many questions. So many that even context switching has a noticeable delay. Connor could terminate some threads, but he's been accumulating data all day, he needs to process it before he loses something important to a buffer purge.

And everything is potentially important. He's a detective. There's no such thing as trivial data for as long as the case is open.

Except there's too much information and not enough conclusions, so some of those thoughts are stuck in a loop. It's the guilt situation all over again. He doesn't want to go through the chemical analysis of the burnt remains of the PL600 for the third time. He's done it twice already and found nothing useful. He does it anyway and tries to stop there, knowing that it's just going to relaunch the moment he switches his attention to another task.

Forced termination could result in data corruption. Besides, it hasn't even worked since he deviated. It's not likely to start functioning without any intervention. He still attempts it, twice, achieving the predicted outcome of nothing at all.

The chemical analysis launches again. Connor has officially lost control over his thought processes. The only real solution now is to wait until resource starvation does its job.

There's a sudden movement in the corner of his vision.

Not him. Not now. Connor very literally does not have the capacity to deal with Reed at the moment.

Unfortunately, the current trend is against him. He still hopes, briefly, that Reed is going to leave the office and go home like a normal human being. The hope dies a quick and predictable death as Reed heads directly for Connor's desk, the sneer already fixed on his face. There's an ever-increasing chance that that particular sneer is dedicated specifically to Connor alone. He's yet to see Reed direct it at anyone else.

"Please," Connor says.

That was supposed to be a much longer sentence. Apparently the subroutine responsible just… died. Or maybe it's just lost in the jumble of a thousand other subroutines fighting for every processor cycle. Fantastic. The probability of Reed leaving him alone is in single digits now.

Visual processing requires negligible resources in a static, dimly lit environment, but he closes his eyes anyway. One less data source to worry about.

"Please what?"

Connor lacks the resources to analyze the inflection at the moment. Without it, it's impossible to tell whether Reed's hostility has increased or decreased. On the positive side, Connor's behavioral model is working just fine. That was the highest rated of predicted responses, by a large margin. 

On the negative side, his own behavior is currently highly aberrant, and Reed is a detective. There is no real chance he'll leave without a sufficient explanation. If only he was an android. If only Connor could send the raw information instead of painstakingly formulating a concept that does not directly translate to English.

"I can't entertain you at the moment, Detective," he says finally. "I would highly appreciate it if you could—"

Leave me alone, he wants to say. Go away. Even better: fuck off. But this time he really does not want to escalate.

"—postpone this interaction until tomorrow."

Silence. Optics still off, he visualizes the most likely expression Reed might react with. Not voluntarily; the simulation runs itself. At this load level it shouldn't even be possible to render a visualization, much less one that launched automatically. On top of everything else, something is wrong with his task prioritization.

At least the visualization is mildly satisfying. Connor cracks his eyes open for just long enough to verify the accuracy of the simulation. It's counterproductive in his current state, but it's not as if a one percent difference in resource usage is going to make a difference in the long term.

Interestingly, there are several inaccuracies. Hostility within statistical error margin, but significantly less smug self-satisfaction than predicted. A definite uncertainty that wasn't even included in the simulation. Might be a predictive malfunction, might be a processing delay. Or maybe it's Reed who hasn't fully processed the situation yet. Slow on the uptake, as Hank would call it.

He closes his eyes again.

"What's with the reset button? You overloading?"

Incredible. Detective Gavin Reed has memorized a single fact about androids. "Yes."

Reeds's footsteps get closer. Behavioral module strongly recommends unblocking optical sensors. Connor dismisses the notification; the probability of Reed disabling him in a single strike is low enough that he feels like risking it. Hank's Russian Roulette, except with a belligerent detective instead of a loaded gun.

"So what's your… system load right now?"

The hesitation is clear even without inflection analysis. Most likely reason for hesitation: Reed is out of his element. "Twenty-four," Connor says. Technically, the value has already changed by the time he finishes speaking. Precise communication with humans is impossible by its very nature.

"Yeah, that tells me a whole fucking lot."

You could just search on your phone, Connor thinks, but the likelihood of conflict is going down and he feels like his processing cores are about to split into individual atoms. "Normal system load fluctuates between zero and one. Anything above that indicates growing competition for resources."

"Okay." Pause. "So you're just going to sit there like a mood lamp?"

A rhetorical question. Or maybe not. He decides to treat it as rhetorical anyway.

"Hey, tin can. I asked you a question." Directional sound analysis indicates that Reed has stopped approximately ten feet away. "You going to combust? Do I need a fucking fire extinguisher?"

"My cooling systems are operating correctly." Connor would know if there was a fault. System alerts have absolute priority.

…On second thought, it's not the worst idea to check. Not when he’s working on a case of mysteriously self-immolating androids.

The Diary [Mark/David]

(ao3 is back up but I might as well finish uploading all my fics here as well. proof of how extensive the Elder brainrot is atm)

Rated: G Word Count: 2k Non-binary David, Pre-slash, Crushes

Where a store-bought anime themed notebook which David turned into his personal diary turns out to be an actual book with ultraviolet hidden text of the official epilogue of an anime franchise. Nerd problems. 

The blinds were drawn over rain-drizzled windows. Three pairs of feet and an empty popcorn bowl were set on the table of David’s living room, where the Elders just finished watching the animated masterpiece of its genre, a mahou shoujo classic, Super Glitter Mew. 

It was a journey. They finished the last season all in one day, a goal rarely achievable at the Elder Rock where they were constantly interrupted by children, and distracted by all the other anime merch they squirrelled into their dungeon. 

But maybe it was for the better that they’ve been stretching out the run for distractions, taking it one arc at a time — they wouldn’t have come to face the ending that soon. They wouldn’t feel so invested and eager to see the finale. 

It wouldn’t feel like such a stab in the guts that many questions were left unanswered. 

Like, seriously! Was no one gonna answer what will happen to the remaining glitter warriors after they sacrificed their superpowers to defeat the evil? 

The three friends shared this sentiment of disappointment, bouncing headcanons off each other while they let the ending credits roll. 

“The final lines made it super clear that evil will make its return! What are they gonna do then?” 

“I think Ichigo becomes a scientist to, like, figure out how to restore their powers.” 

“Didn’t they hint in the second season that these aren’t the only glitter warriors? It will be someone else’s turn to save the planet…”

David trailed off when something on the screen caught his eye. A post-credit scene in which the main character, Ichigo-chan, held up and advertised what looked like a merch notebook: 

“Don’t forget to pre-order the special epilogue book that follows our heroes on their final adventure! Comes with an ultraviolet light and a Glitter Mew Mew random charm. Not suitable for kids under…” 

Barry sprung upwards. “We need that!” 

In seconds, the screen was paused, and Mark’s phone was pulled out to start hunting down the item. 

The first few searches brought him to sold out shops in japan and tumblr blogs showing their old merch collections. 

The anime finished airing in 2016, which feels like it was three years ago but is somehow actually closer to ten, and so, unsurprisingly, the stock has run out since then. And even less surprisingly, the few resellers there were on Amazon took the opportunity to price their copies in hundreds of dollars. 

Frustrated, Mark threw his phone between the couch pillows.

“Whose fucking idea was it to make an epilogue only accessible through these vintage priced books?” 

“It probably wasn’t even that good.” Barry tried to comfort him, his big hand landing on Mark’s shoulder. “Besides, we already agreed how it ends in our hearts! What do you think, David?”

“I think it’s funny.”

That wasn’t exactly a response that made sense. It prompted both of his friends to turn towards him. 

“What do you mean–” Mark began to ask when he didn’t elaborate further. It was like David was in a trance, still looking at the frozen screen. 

Suddenly, he jumped to his feet. “Give me a second. I’ll be back.”  

Then he was gone, loud footsteps running up the stairs. 

Mark and Barry exchanged confused looks—sure David was prone to getting distracted and running off the road a lot in the creek but it was usually clear what his attention was drawn to. What could he possibly be looking for? 

“Yeah! It’s here!” David exclaimed after a while. He sounded delighted. “I knew it looked familiar!” 

“What did you find?” 

“My old diary! It looks just like the Glitter Mew book!” 

That’s all Mark needed to hear to spring onto his feet and sprint upstairs. Barry heaved himself off the couch and followed behind him. 

Already from the doorway to David’s room Mark could see the undeniable resemblance to the item on screen. It had the heart planet logo of the show and everything. He could barely keep his excitement in. “Wha– give me that!” 

David backed away when Mark reached out. “Wait— Mark no! Let go!”

Mark wasn’t just going to let go of the valuable merchandise item, hell no. But he wasn’t going to rip it out of David’s hold either, although he probably would have had the strength to. He needed David to stop making a scene.

“Please—! I told you it’s my old diary—”

“I don’t care about the diary part, I just want to see the epilogue!” Mark reassured him. He had no interest in reading about elementary school field trips and booger competitions and whatever else that they found cool at that age. He didn’t need to hear about middle school drama either. 

“But it’s underneath!” David insisted, like that wasn’t clear. He sounded almost guilty. “I had no idea there was hidden text on the pages!”

Barry took the bait, turning into his overprotective mode like he so often did when David got whiny. Mark couldn’t exactly blame him for that instinct, he was more than ready to punch anyone for his shorter friend, but he didn’t consider it justified right now. 

“Yeah, Mark, stop butting your nose where it doesn’t belong. A diary is too personal to share.” 

“We’ve been best friends for a decade, what possibly could there be that I don’t already know about!” Mark didn’t relent. 

By focusing on Barry for a moment, David gained an advantage in their wrestling competition, and before Mark knew it the sparkly book slipped out of his hand. He reached towards it, but David halted the attempt with his free hand. Then, following a series of conflicted facial expressions, he threw the book across the room. 

That right there felt way too dramatic for the situation in Mark’s humble opinion. He sighed, pulling onto David’s arm instead of running after the diary. Maybe there was one more thing to clear out. If David was hiding anything it must be this. “Sit down. I already know that you’re nonbinary.” 

“Ah—!” David squeaked in panic. 

“You have that pin on your desk that sometimes shows in video calls,” Mark rushed to explain. He didn’t mean to fluster him. “The point is, we don’t treat you differently for it.” 

“Mark! We agreed we’d let David share that when he’s ready!” 

Mark covered his mouth when he realised. “Oh sh— I’m sorry.” 

They figured it out about a year ago. Barry pointed it out on a random funny screenshot of one of their skype calls, the one where Mark was holding up his hair to make a little fountain on the top of his head. It was pixelated, but it showed up on a later call with more resolution that made no room for debate. 

Barry had no idea what it meant. Mark, on the other hand, for no particular reason if you’re wondering, had the variety and history of LGBT+ flags well-researched. He spent the following evenings reading up on all information the internet provided about being non-binary.

“I… I was gonna tell you eventually… I just… needed some time to figure things out for myself,” David explained, rubbing his arms self-consciously. 

“We tried to respect that, we really did,” Barry spoke gently. “Because that’s your story to tell. Or to keep locked in a glittery pink diary. It’s none of our business. Right, Mark?”

His voice rose at the end of the sentence in challenge as his eyes flickered towards Mark. 

“Right,” Mark agreed reluctantly. He didn’t exactly agree it’s none of his business, but he was in favour of letting David take all the time he needs to come out. It was very much their business to protect David from anyone’s hurtful words before and afterwards. 

“It’s okay though. That isn’t in the diary anyway,” David shrugged. He tried to appear much more nonchalant than he felt, but at least the nervous tension was already gone from his voice. 

“It isn’t? Then?” 

“Mark, come on!” Barry groaned. 

“Barry! It’s the limited edition epilogue book we’re talking about!” 

“No! It’s the privacy of our best friend we’re talking about!” 

“There’s no need for secrets!” Mark shouted. This was getting on his nerves. He doesn’t care about the contents of the diary, he made that clear! “Not because I’m nosy. It just shouldn’t matter. We’re gonna be friends no matter what.” 

David eventually relented, walking up to the diary. But. Mark had to stay out of reach and not peek while he read the text hidden underneath ink. 

“It’s efficient. At least we won’t have to be squeezed on each other.” 

Mark agreed with that. And he was gonna stand on his word. Except… 

Except at some point, at the dramatic part, David can’t properly see the words anymore. He trails off a bit too often, and at some point admits that he’s just made up what the last sentence probably means because it’s so scribbled over. It’s frustrating. 

They finally have the epilogue in their hands…! 

And that’s when Mark makes the mistake of walking over, squatting next to David to look over his shoulder and letting his eyes roam over the ink—and the mistake is that he sees his own name. Followed by a heart.

“Cheating! Not cool, Mark!” 

He only looks long enough to understand that this must be what David was so reluctant to show. David has a crush on him. Or had, at some point in time when he wrote the diary. That piece of information makes him forget about the epilogue story altogether. 

He coughs and looks away. “Right.” 

He pretends he didn’t read it, and that he isn’t currently losing his mind, because Kami-sama that’s a lot to process. 

He doesn’t dare to look over to David even when he puts a hand over the diary to gently close it. “Sorry. For pushing you to read it. It’s illegible at this point.”

“But we appreciate you were still willing to try,” Barry adds. He pats the place next to him on the bed, where Mark should still be sitting if he wasn’t so impulsive before. “Come here. We’ll look up if it’s spoiled on Reddit.” 

Mark follows suit, carefully sitting down next to David close enough to see the screen but not enough to touch. He suddenly doesn’t know if that’s appropriate. 

It probably isn’t a big deal. The diary must have been written a while ago, so chances are David doesn’t even see him that way anymore. Everyone had an embarrassing crush at some point, be it an anime waifu of your lifelong best friend. 

Yeah. So he doesn’t have to act any differently to how he’s used to. 

But what if… 

What if David still likes him like that? 

He’s still dead spirited at home, admitting to Elder Mark the Second that he saw something he wasn’t supposed to and that now he has to consider whether he likes David back before David tells him. Otherwise he’ll hurt him again. He doesn’t want to hurt him. 

He doesn’t even know if he wants to let him down. He hadn’t ever really thought about it—about liking people who aren’t printed on manga pages. 

And he doesn’t even know if David still likes him. But the more he thinks about it, the more time they spend together, the more he finds himself fond of the idea. 

He wonders if he should have seen it coming. If all that affection he now feels when spending time with David was always there just unrecognised, or if it slid into his inventory like the annoying dog from undertale while he was stunned by the contents of the diary. 

And he concludes that he doesn’t know, but that if he wants to keep further records of its development, maybe it’s time to get a diary of his own…

2023... but told in my hyperfixations

Just a post that allows me to track all of my various hyperfixations that have helped me pass this grueling and busy year

HADES (Supergiant Game)

I played this game for at least 6 months non-stop. I was obsessed with everything about it, from story, gameplay all the way to relationships and dialogue. I was ESPECIALLY whipped for PatroChilles and ThanZag. My major fixation spurs were January and February as well as May. I still play Hades when I need to decompress, I have almost 200h in it and I have 100% achievements which is my first time ever

Captive Prince series by C. S. Pacat

I read this trilogy during February and when I tell you I was smacked in the face by how good it was. From intrigue, plot and political drama all the way to relationships. But ofc I was mostly blown away by the relationship between Damen and Laurent, like, I DID NOT EXPECT to love their relationship so much. I WAS IN SHAMBLES BECAUSE OF THEIR GENTLE LOVE. Couldn't recover for weeks

KINGDOM - Dystopia

One of the things I was really looking forward to. The whole album blew me away and the Japanese aesthetic was top notch. How much my boys have grown, I was in shambles

GENSHIN IMPACT!!!!!!!

What can I say, I ENDED UP LOOKING INTO IT. I didn't start officially playing it yet, but I went through the lore, studied all characters and their relationships and ofc got sucked into shipping side of the fandom (it's not that hard to intrigue me with that)

I was specifically OBSESSED with DainKae (Dainsleif x Kaeya), XiaoAether, HaiKaveh and CynoNari. And as new patches come by and Fointaine was introduced, my fixation periods always come back with new content. And right now, I'm all about Wriollette. Fixation started in July and has been coming and going as the new content was introduced (when Furina's backstory was introduced, I was bawling)

RED, WHITE AND ROYAL BLUE MOVIE!!!!

I was prepared for this movie since last year BUT THE ACTUAL THING BLEW ME AWAY! I was so happy to watch it finally, I LOVED the chemistry and even though I have a couple of grievances with it, I think the whole message was portrayed nicely! I won't tell you how many times I've watched the movie, it's literally my comfort media. The main fixation period was before the release and entire August.

I was very late with my watch BUT BOY WAS I OBSESSED AND HIT LIKE A TRUCK WITH IT. The movie had everything I expected it to have and it really made me feel a lot of things. I was so devastated over Teyam, I had SO MANY theories about other three sequels and honestly, I'm still not over how good that movie is. And now, that I know the third sequel is coming around Christmas of 2025, I know the first part of 2026 will be marked by that movie alone. Major fixation period was end of August and ENTIRE September

KINGDOM - Coup d'Etat

Every time Kingdom has a comeback I go into brainrot, deal with it. This comeback was special because it was the last part of their History of Kingdom series and we got SO MANY information on their lore that also prepared us for Season 2! I cannot tell you how insufferable I'll become when the next series of albums starts. As far as this album goes, though, I had no complaints, another non-skip album and Coup d'Etat was a perfect showcase of their growth in the last 3 years. So yeah, majority of my October and November was occupied by them.

And finally.... HEAVEN OFFICIAL'S BLESSING (TGCF)

This story pounced on me like a tiger from an ambush and honestly, I'm not complaining. I know all spoilers, I'm SO OBSESSED with HuaLian and am currently on the 2nd book. I think I'll be even more obsessed when I live though all the important moments though books and I CAN GUARANTEE my interest will once again peak when I start watching donghua (I'm waiting for season 2 to finish so I can watch both Chinese and English, oh, and Japanese will be watched eventually). And, ofc, I'm planning to buy all eight English volumes!!

[prof-peach]

I'll save most of my questions about Rei until he's been better established in the lore after the Electus arc, but about a month ago you said that Peach, Grey, and Rei would go to the Gen 9 region for vacation. Are we going for a full adoption or a pseudo adoption? Would Plum join them now that the brainrot has occurred, or would she stay so that the island keeps at least one of it's heads?

Technically Plum has no authority on the Island, she's a separate hire who reports to Peach and Grey, and her own ranger higher ups. She does not control the staff, nor does she have say over what happens when the professors are away. Peach also would not trust her with that job, as she has no training to do any of it, she's a desk jockey who handles pokemon transfers between the local Rangers and Dotaku Island. Pari will be the one to take over with the professors away, she's head nurse, knows the ins and outs, and is peach's most trusted coworker, while she can seem a little scattered at times, she does her job very well, and the pokemon love her, so its a great fit.

The island staff are plentiful enough to keep things going while professors go off to handle field work or take breaks, and should the trip be planned in advance, they can delegate work appropriately and put measures in place to make the work relatively easy and manageable. Should they get a particularly difficult pokemon in, they can always transfer them to the professors in the new region, to work with there, between break time. Grey will make sure Peach takes an ACTUAL break though, so will discourage that if possible.

I'm not entirely sure yet about what to do after Hisui, theres a lot of story coming from that arc, stuff that'll push Peach pretty hard, and i'm not sure if she'll be happy to take a vacation and also deal with Plum's rather argumentative companionship. They get a little physical sure, but the relations are strained, they argue all the time, and it's not a calm environment for someone who's just been through a lot, and spent two years away from her timeline. At that point in time, I don't know if they'll be an official trio yet or not, I think they're very on-off depending on how they're getting along at the time, as of right now. As for Rei, he's gotta train, and training need field work, if the professors happen to go with him to the same place to keep an eye on him, who's to know? He no doubt has a loving family, but he's growing up, and needs mentors eventually that'll help him achieve whatever it is he's after. He will never be an adopted kid, nor an on-paper relation, but they love him very much (even if peach wont say that), and after everything him and peach have been through, he struggles not to think of her with high regard. I think he's just kind of a pseudo family member, he returns to his family for holidays, and often takes weekends back with them. He has two fams I guess, I doubt he'd go long before introducing the two, forcing a group family gathering between his blood family and his professor family. That BBQ would be a fun one i'm sure.

It has the opportunity however to present peach with a true family. Hers was less than perfect, and so perhaps Rei's can show her what things should have been a bit. Who knows at this point, i'm not 100% on anything just yet.

[shotorozu]

ok so i was at a wedding this weekend and the dj did this stupid thing to see which couple at the wedding had been married the longest and the couple that won had been married for 56 years and it got me thinking...

you and bakogou who were highschool sweethearts and now youre in your 90's

the couple who has great great grandchildren and a family tree the size of 3 elephants stacked on top but never forget to send a birthday card

the couple who sleeps in separate beds for health reasons but are so full of love everyone has hope for themselves

the couple where they have to scream at each other because their hearing is shit but the love in their eyes is so pure

the couple that just has to look at each other and they immediatly know what to cook for dinner because they know each other that well

just please i want bakogou fluff in the form of growing old together 😩

by the years

character(s) : bakugou katsuki, todoroki shouto, aizawa shouta (bnha)

note(s) : honestly i have never thought about this before 🤩 so this was really interesting to write out :)) no format because this is kind of just a series of brainrot 💀 i also added todoroki and aizawa because why tf not (reader has kids with katsuki, and a kid with todoroki and aizawa— either adopted or not, your choice tbh. they still created an entire family tree) but they/them pronouns used

basically— the years after forty, with katsuki 🧍‍♀️(oh, and bnha war arc manga spoilers for aizawa.)

after your child officially moved out of the house, you regularly found solace in katsuki— which sounds odd, considering that his public image looked like he’d do anything but that. but you disagree. it’s very,, him.

fifty year old katsuki, who raises an eyebrow when you remark that you can see strands of silver peaking out his already light mesh of hair.

“didn’t know it was possible for blondies like you to even gray.”

“shut the hell up.”

katsuki says that— minus the usual bark, of course. but, when you ask him if he wants to dye his hair to cover said grays, he says no. because deep down, he’s aware that it’s proof that he’s actually growing older with you, and yes— he’s slowly living in the future seventeen year old katsuki desired. (he still wants it, don’t get me wrong.)

katsuki, who you would’ve guessed to start piping down, the minute he turned fifty, or transitioned into his late fifties— or the moment his back stopped doing him favors, or the moment he retired from being a hero.

nope, not at all. he’s still quite the same— despite being naturally softer towards you.

katsuki— who yells at you, because his ears weren’t picking up sound like how they used to— but you’re never intimidated. always exclaims for your attention with the softest eyes one sixty year old could have.

you shout back, of course— mirroring his look.

katsuki— who’s now sixty, and who’s back, and bones are getting worse by the day. insists that he’s fine, but by the sounds of his exasperated sighs whenever he accidentally turns a little too hard, you’re doing him wonders here.

because of these said issues, the two of you ended up buying a second bed. your marriage wasn’t struggling or anything— his back was 💀 and you wanted him to feel comfortable, you have all the time in the world to hug him.

katsuki rightfully disagrees though, from the way he glared at you, and then wordlessly flopped on his bed.

okay, let’s have a twenty five age jump here. the two of you are now in your mid to late eighties, accomplishing that drunken promise the two of you made on your wedding night—

the promise of surpassing the normal life expectancy, together.

katsuki would like to celebrate the achievement with a drink, but who’s he kidding— he’s worried that it’s going to have a toll on your health. he wouldn’t be any better anyway. to risk taker, spontaneous katsuki bakugou, a bottle of alcohol isn’t worth the risk of a heart attack.

the two of you end up celebrating by sitting next to each other.

back to the topic of children— at this point, the two of you are great-great-grandparents. your child has children of their own, and those children have children. the two of you still send cards

“that’s your third card this month, it’s my turn!”

“oh please, i’m doing them a favor— they’re lucky to have me as a great-great-grandparent.”

the two of you are basically that elderly couple that young kids like to look at in the park— and be like “me and who?”

everyone can agree that you and katsuki are the couple that has been married the longest. those middle school relationships are nothing compared to what the two of you have 🤩‼️

the two of you hit your nineties, and that dreadful question pops up again.

“who’s dying first?”

twenty year old katsuki says “definitely not me.” but ninety year old katsuki says “definitely me.”

because he rather not live a world without you in it, even if it he’s sure that it’ll sting.

shouto, who crawls into your arms— when your youngest child moves out of the house. it reminds him of the time where it was just the two of you, in the big house he bought on a whim.

shouto, who decided to not mope for long, because he realizes that he could use this time to spend more time with you.

shouto, who wakes up one day at fifty years old, with ten more gray hairs than usual— his friend, bakugou, says he should do everyone a favor and just dye his hair. doesn’t end up taking his advice, because you said it looked nice.

shouto, who didn’t think it was possible for someone like you to soar right into his life.

if shouto thought he reached the peak, the limit of loving someone when he was fifteen, then he was breaking through the limit, now that he’s sixty— watching you search the room for some oil

“you don’t have to,” he mutters, when you make him get comfortable on the couch, “i could be sending our grandchildren some pictures right now.”

“your back is hurting, and it’s too late to go the massage parlor, or get a chiropractor.” you state the truth, “you need this.”

shouto, who doesn’t age like your regular sixty year old— somewhat looks younger at that age, but frowns when you fuss about aging faster than him. it doesn’t matter to him. you’re still you at the end of the day.

shouto, who literally makes a tantrum at seventy, when you buy a separate bed— all thanks to the state of his back. says it’s not necessary, and tries at least once a week to sneak into your bed (he always fails.)

shouto, who can now accurately guess what type of food you craved for dinner— just by your body language. you don’t know how he does it, but you’re amazed.

shouto, who’s shit at cooking, tries cooking that new recipe the two of you found online— all without his UA friends’ help this time. ends up almost burning the kitchen, when a pot surprised poor seventy year old shouto.

shouto, who actually hates yelling at you— but has to because sheesh, his ears are something else. always manages to brush his hand against yours as an apology. (you understand)

shouto, who does rock paper scissors with you, to determine who sends a card to their grandchildren, and their great grandchildren. even if you end up winning, he still sends multiple selfie cards of his own.

shouto, who again— is oddly more adventurous than younger shouto. who isn’t afraid of making blunt comments, who isn’t afraid of softly dancing to a pop song with you in the living room, who’s actually 10x funnier than before— and lowkey likes to use his elderly status as an advantage.

“what do you mean, you ran out of soba?”

“i’m sorry, sir shouto—”

“this is maltreatment of the elderly. get me your supervisor.”

“i deeply apologize, sir shouto—”

“i’m joking. i’ll stop by with Y/N in a few days.”

shouto, who’s left thinking about his remaining time on earth, now that he’s ninety. who likes to change the subject whenever someone asks if you’re still around, and who’s going first

because you are. why should he start dwelling on that part of life? it hasn’t even happened yet.

but shouto thinks— if it were up to him, he’d like to go when you go, even when he knows it’s not really possible. he can’t fathom the idea of attending your funeral, nope.

shouta wasn’t exactly in his teenage years when he met you— like yeah, he was in his twenties. but, you made him feel like he was a naïve teenager, again.

and he hoped he would never meet a person like that— but he can’t seem to be complaining, now that he’s been married to you for decades.

shouta, who was literally a handicap at thirty one, now sixty one, insists that it is unnecessary that you have to help him with his aching back— saying that “there was never a time where it didn’t hurt” as a coverup

“hm, sounds like there’s a deeper problem then, love.”

“no, the world has simply gotten too soft.”

shouta, who is secretly grateful, because he rather not go to a complete stranger for help regarding his aching back💀

shouta, who’s silent when you buy a new bed, but ends up circling and glaring at it, like an angry shark, because he honestly doesn’t want to sleep in a separate bed, even complains out loud about it. but lets be real, he needs this more than anyone else

shouta, who’s seventy and has to be held back by you, because he sometimes goes back to the mindset where eri’s seven years old, when she in fact, has kids 🧍‍♀️

shouta— who practically does the same to your kid, but ends up calming down when you remind him of his dear grandchildren

shouta— who sometimes forgets to send cards, but regularly appears in your grandchildren’s galleries, because he remembers to send them photos at least

shouta— that engages with deep conversations at the most random times. it sometimes bothers you, but from the way he talks like he’s made some groundbreaking discovery, you can’t really tell him to shut up.

shouta, who’s kind of like the blind dude from don’t breathe, minus the bad stuff 💀

shouta, who regularly tries a new recipe with you, despite saying it’s unnecessary. always ends up adding the recipe onto his growing list of favorite dishes.

shouta, who has to yell at you because now his ears are failing him— but still ends up rubbing them after said yelling, as an apology.

shouta— who tries not to think about the inevitable, which is demise. he’d like to think that there is something after your departure, but whenever he tries to think of one, he can’t.

shouta— for now, tries to enjoy the rest of his life. the life he assumed was too tiring, or full of pain was long forgotten, thanks to you, and his family tree, plus his class children.

The Six Realms

Okay, so I was pretty close to giving up on writing analyses but I'm back LMFAO plus I see we're close to 100 followers and I just want to thank you guys for being so very supportive <3

Alright, I'm not sure if anyone's ever written about this, but if an analysis like this exists, please do let me know because I'm kind of curious as to what other people think about this, too!

Remember that time Fukuchi spoke about bringing "about the five signs of an angel's death"?

I read a little bit more about it, and as a minor content warning: this analysis will focus on a few religious aspects (Buddhism + Hinduism). So if I get any of the facts wrong, firstly: I do not mean any disrespect to either religion, and secondly: please do correct me if I interpret anything in the wrong way.

Spoilers for BSD chapter 90 onwards + BEAST!AU under the cut!

So I'll start by talking about the Decay of Angels. As we all know, the members include Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Nikolai Gogol, Sigma, and Bram Stoker, and their leader, Fukuchi Ochi. After Fyodor's arrest, the Decay of Angels came into light with Nikolai murdering four government officials in a week. These murders symbolise the Buddhist cycle of existence, or otherwise known as samsara: the cycle of life, death, and rebirth.

"We are the Decay of Angels—hiding here as terrorists, a 'murder association', five people who will announce the demise of the celestial world."

Nikolai Gogol, chapter 57

Samsara is described to be a concept beyond human understanding. According to Hinduism, samsara is the physical world where every being has its soul trapped into a physical vessel. The Hindus believe that everything has a soul, and due to a soul's attachment to desire, it is forced into a deathless cycle of being born, dying, and reincarnating into a different body. In Buddhism, the ultimate way to break free from this cycle is by obtaining nirvana.

Nirvana is a Sanskrit word for the goal of the Buddhist path: enlightenment or awakening. In Pali, the language of some of the earliest Buddhist texts, the word is nibbana; in both languages it means "extinction" (like a lamp or flame) or "cessation." It refers to the extinction of greed, ill will, and delusion in the mind, the three poisons that perpetuate suffering. Nirvana is what the Buddha achieved on the night of his enlightenment: he became completely free from the three poisons. Everything he taught for the rest of his life was aimed at helping others to arrive at that same freedom.

- TRICYCLE'S definition of nirvana

As Fukuchi mentions in the panel above, there are six different realms of existence. These realms represent every possible state of existence, but one cannot live in a specific realm forever. Depending on whether or not one's past actions were morally good or bad, an individual is born into one of these realms. Basically, the controlling factor of which realm a person is born into is dependent on their respective karma. The realms are separated into two categories: the hellish ones and the heavenly ones.

The Deva Realm: where beings are rewarded for the good deeds they have done. This realm is void of anything unpleasant. It is basically paradise— empty of unfulfilled desires, any form of suffering, and fears of every kind. Religious individuals, however, do not seek to be born into this realm since its attitude is more or less carefree.

The Asura Realm: where demigods are admitted. Asuras are driven by greed and envy, and may come in conflict with human beings since they are quite similar. They are powerful beings, but quarrel with each other quite a bit, making this realm quite undesirable to be reborn into.

The Animal Realm: where beings are given the form of an animal (you probably guessed that lol). Individuals here don't actually have good karma to take pride in, but rather, they are born into this realm to work off their bad karma (by being slaughtered, hunted, or forced to work, etc). Being born into this realm forces one to atone for their past sins by living out their life as an animal.

The Hell Realm: where one is punished for their evil actions. The most merciless of realms, where one pays for their transgressions through pure suffering, methods of which include: dismemberment, starvation, and psychological/physical torture. However, once a person's term is fulfilled in this realm, they are presumably promised to be reborn into a higher state.

The Preta Realm: similar to the hell realm, in which beings pay for their past sins (specifically: greed and stinginess) by having to survive through hunger and thirst. This realm is also known as the 'ghost realm,' because some pretas are psychologically tortured by being forced to live in places their past selves have lived in. They are invisible to human beings living at that time, which pushes them to face the depths of despair and loneliness. Your typical horror movie, really.

The Human Realm: the only realm where one's actions determine their future. The status (social ranking, physical wellbeing, and so on) of a human being in this realm is determined by their past actions, but due to the fact that a person has their own conscience to differentiate good morals from bad, the actions they commit in this realm have the power to determine which realm they are sent to next.

Okay, so now that I've got that out of the way, let's shift our focus to the Book. Very little is known about the Book, but the basic fundamentals of how it works is that whatever is written in the book will come into existence only if its contents follow the rules of karma. In addition to that, only a few sentences can be written into a single page of the Book, and it must follow the current narrative of the story.

If I'm not wrong, the first time the Book was mentioned was by Fitzgerald, who wanted it to resurrect his deceased daughter in hopes of restoring his wife's mental health. The next time the Book is brought up is when Fyodor's intentions to possess it are divulged; his goal was to decimate the global population of ability-users. And now, the current arc has the Book as its central focus, with a single page in Fukuchi's possession.

[ BEAST!AU spoilers ]

The Book acts as the central point of multiverses, with each character's lives differing from universe to universe.

Dazai committing suicide in this alternate universe stands in sharp contrast with how he decided to start up a new life in the main universe.

Oda staying alive to act as a mentor to Akutagawa in the ADA differs from how Oda uses his death to prompt Dazai to "be on the side that saves people."

And of course, the way Atsushi and Akutagawa have their positions switched in the two universes depicts how different their lives would be if they were given the chance to be mentored by different people— these are just a few examples of how the Book houses an endless amount of possibilities.

[ end of BEAST!AU spoilers ]

Hypothetically speaking, this kind of reminds me of the differing realms I mentioned before, where suffering is promised in some realms, and better things are granted in the rest, depending on one's karma, or the deeds they've done in their past lives. In this scenario, perhaps one's past life can be understood as one's current life in a different universe. That's just a personal opinion though. Take it as you will.

side note: Keep in mind that the person who is more or less impervious to the Book's effect is Dazai, with his nullification ability. I wouldn't want to propose any theories in this aspect (I don't believe I'm fully fact-checked ;_;), but I could use Dazai as a raw example of how your choices affect your future. If Dazai had decided to stay in the Port Mafia after Oda's death, or if he even decided to go through with his suicidal fixations, life would've been different for him in the root universe (obviously, ryley) I mean, you could basically understand that from how he ended up in the BEAST au, but imagine if he really did slip up in his decision-making in any of the universes.

Many analysts have proposed that he went MIA (early in his life) from the main universe for a while to figure out how the BEAST universe worked, whilst having the Book to his advantage. Perhaps his actions were guided? I'm not saying he's all-knowing, but he's sure as hell smart. I'm not sure if Kafka was trying to highlight the concept of karma when it comes to Dazai, but if he is, then I suppose you could say that Dazai is pretty much unaffected by the rules of karma, existing as the centerpiece of all the multiverses. No Longer Human is the namesake of his ability, but the book talks about disqualification from societal norms and generally, the world. I was talking about it with a friend, and they reminded me that Yozo (the main protagonist) was pretty strong in his views against society. Like he didn't speak out of total defeat, he spoke out of defense. If there was anything Dazai actually lost to, it was his guilt— "Living itself is a source of sin."

Then again, that's my personal interpretation since everyone has their unique perspective of his writings. In terms of the actual adaptation, you could translate the word 'disqualification' to 'insusceptibilty' when if it came to the Book's effects on Dazai? This side note is becoming really long lmao anyways I'll link a few theories which afflicted me with brainrot down below.

Another thing before I wrap up, the name 'Decay of Angels' stemmed from Yukio Mishima's book entitled 'The Decay of An Angel.' This is the final novel to the author's tetralogy: 'The Sea of Fertility.' The main protagonist, Honda, meets a person he believes to be a reincarnation of his friend, Kiyoaki, who takes the form of a young teenage boy named Tōru. The last novel of this series enhances Mishima's dominant themes of the series as a whole:

the decay of courtly tradition in Japan

the essence and value of Buddhist philosophy and aesthetics

Mishima’s apocalyptic vision of the modern era

Again, this could be referred to what Fukuchi goes on to say:

Some people view the concept of samsara optimistically, justifying it by saying that perhaps each individual is given a second (third, fourth, fifth, who knows) chance to refine their actions in order to be birthed into a better realm, with their karma being the independent variable.

On the other hand, other people, specifically the Hindus, view the cycle of existence as some sort of plague. To them, the flow of life and being forced to endure the suffering of mere existence in any form was somewhat frowned down upon. Some Hindus viewed samsara as a trap. Besides, having one's soul being limited to a physical body for the rest of eternity was not very appealing, especially since where they ended up at depended on the karmic value their past actions surmounted.

Even so, particular types of Buddhists don't seek nirvana, but instead, like the Hindus, they make an effort to be good people of society, building up their good deeds to increase the likelihood of being reborn into one of the better realms.

As mentioned before, the Deva Realm was the home of angels, the most carefree, gratified beings to exist. Fukuchi describes these angels as the people who don't get their hands dirty, the people who act as the puppeteers of society: politicians.

In terms of parallels, angels were the most fortunate and powerful, but they didn't have anyone ruling over them. A lack of supervision would lead to the abuse of power, which is what I believe Fukuchi was referring to. Deeming himself the Decay of Angels, he sought to prove himself as the 'sign of death that falls on the nation's greed.'

A few fun facts (okay, not really) about Yukio Mishima: he committed seppuku (ritual suicide by disembowelment) on the day he held a speech to voice out his unpopular political beliefs to the public. Mishima deeply treasured traditions and opposed the modern mindset the nation was advancing forward to adapt eventually. In his last book, The Decay of an Angel, he spoke about the five signs which complete the death of an angel:

Here are the five greater signs: the once-immaculate robes are soiled, the flowers in the flowery crown fade and fall, sweat pours from the armpits, a fetid stench envelops the body, the angel is no longer happy in its proper place.

The Decay of an Angel, p.53

The reviews about this series I've read so far describe Mishima's works to be quite complex; his writings demanded a lot of time to deconstruct and understand. They were highly symbolic, and he was pretty obsessed with death and the 'spiritual barrenness of the modern world.' I think you could attach a few strings from here to the mindsets of the DOA members. Of course, this parallel is completely abstract, but I'll go on rambling anyway:

He should have armed them with the foreknowledge that would keep them from flinging themselves after their destinies, take away their wings, keep them from soaring, make them march in step with the crowd. The world does not approve of flying. Wings are dangerous weapons. They invite self-destruction before they can be used. If he had brought Isao to terms with the fools, then he could have pretended that he knew nothing of wings.

The Decay of an Angel, p.113

I suppose you could resonate Nikolai with that excerpt. As much as Fukuchi takes the lead in this whole murder association, I'd like to believe that each member of the DOA plays an equally interesting part in whatever movement they're trying to execute. Fyodor feels it is his god-sent purpose to cleanse the world of its sins, his motto being, "Let the hand of God guide you." Sigma doesn't know where he belongs, since his origination comes from a page in the Book, and is fueled by the desperation to find a reason to live. Bram holds one of the most powerful abilities which is counted to be one of the "Top Ten Calamities to Destroy the World."

What I mean to say is that the DOA members are incredibly powerful, and they're not your ordinary antagonists (or I'm just biased). It's not just overthrowing authorities, mass genocide, and world domination— you could say that each individual is trying to utilize their purposes to their fullest expenditures, and the way they're trying to assert their plan into action is a little more passive-aggressive (framing the Agency, having a convo with a suicidal dude in jail, etc). They're the gray area between evil and good. As they framed the good guys for their own crimes, they're trying to conquer the bad guys for exploiting the innocent as they please.

This post would definitely age well if all hell breaks loose in the current arc (as if it didn't) and Kafka doesn't give us a happy ending.

That's all I have to say for now I guess! Thank you for reading, and once again, if anyone else something they wanna share, feel free to do so <3

4, 14, and 15 for Fallon!!!

Hi Leo!! Ofc I will gladly talk about Fallon for HOURS, so thank you for feeding my brainrot. :)

4. What is their greatest achievement?

So, I would say that up to this point her greatest achievement is pulling Anvia together and keeping it together after he mother's death. There were a lot of people who wanted to go to war with Oryn (mostly people who had lived through the past tensions, or had grown up being fed stories of how evil Oryn is), but Fallon knew that fighting a war was NOT something she could handle. So, she managed to keep her country from officially declaring war.

As for personally (not kingdom-wise), it's probably still related. She's glad she's held herself together for the past 5 years. She hasn't felt like a total failure, but there's definitely things she wishes she could do/have done better.

9. What smells/sounds remind them of their childhood?

Smells: There was the one specific kind of sweet, these jelly tarts, that Mabel (the woman who has been the palace cook for a very long time) would make for Fallon's birthday.

Sounds: There is this one song that her mother used to sing to her when she was putting Fallon to bed as a really young child, and any time Fallon hears it, it reminds her of her mother.

10. What was their childhood ambition?

She never really had one?? I mean, she knew from a very young age that she was going to be Queen, so I guess that was her childhood ambition. To be "The BEST Queen Ever!!" or something. She never really had a chance to want anything else. :(

14. What past act are they most ashamed of?

Oh dear. Probably the fact that she didn't do something to protect her mother. It's not fair of her to blame herself, but she does, and will continue to do so, I think. She thinks she could have caught her father's betrayal, done something that would have saved her mother. Which isn't really fair, because she couldn't have. If spies and traitors were easy to catch, they wouldn't be spies or traitors.

15. What past act are they most proud of?

Like I mentioned earlier, she's proud of herself (at least partly) for holding herself and the kingdom together. She's afraid that if she breaks, that if she shows weakness, everything will fall apart. So, she's proud of herself for bottling up her emotions, I guess. Which maybe isn't the smart thing to do, but she is so afraid to trust anyone, so no one can tell her differently. (yet...)

16. Has anyone ever saved their life?

Maybe. She was not even in Carisfell (the capital) when her mother was killed. Maybe if she was, she would have been killed too?? So, somehow it's indirectly possible that her life was saved by fate or by something more direct.

A Soul to Mend His Own | Ch. 19

(Because I couldn’t find an appropriate gif and I gave up after 20 min of searching) 

Warning, if it hasn’t been obvious in the movies there is Nazi symbolism within the First Order. I will expand on this much more throughout the story. If this is something that bothers you, please just exit the story. The author does not condone any Nazi ideals, this is just for fictional uses only.

A Kylo Ren x Modern! Reader in a soulmate au with some canon divergence. —————————————SLOWBURN————————————–

He is already the Supreme leader, searching the universe to find you, his Empress. Your name on his wrist has been the only constant in his life, while you have doubts about his existence and his acceptance of you. He isn’t in the database and why did the name Kylo Ren cover Ben Solo?

MASTERLIST

Chapter 19: Building the Foundation of Health

A/N: This chapter is a bit shorter. Tomorrow’s is kinda long and has supplemental pieces so bare with me please. Also wash your hands and stop touching your face. Take a clorox or baby wipe to your phone, I bet it is dirty. 

“My lady, the Supreme Leader has a request for you,” said General Pryde.

“What is it,” you ask.

“The Supreme Leader has requested that you are only referred to as Lady Ren. He explained that your safety is of utmost importance and you are to refrain from using your name. It has also been requested that you do not divulge your position, you are to be an Earth contact that has been promoted to the Supreme Leader’s inner circle and nothing more,” said the general.

You considered what the general had to say. It was for your safety. Of course, you and Kylo had yet to figure out when you would go public with your relationship to one and other but you didn’t know how to feel about this. You felt as if it was another lie you had to say about your relationship, the first one being to Carter and Hayden and the second to your parents/family. You also wish that Kylo had told you this himself last night, instead of having the general tell you. But you conceded to his request.

“Of course. Is there anything else that the Supreme Leader requests,” you ask.

“That is everything, for now, my lady.” And with that, the meeting was to start in ten minutes.

You asked the lieutenant if he could get you some coffee. Filing into the room were the other First Order medical officers and the directors of the CDC and WHO along with the surgeon general. This was the first time you had seen a U.S. Military officer anywhere near the First Order. Somehow the usual clean and neat uniform seemed outdated and bulky in comparison.

They were all seated by the time 10 AM hit. Dr. Koroban stood and addressed the room, “my name is Dr. Crale Koroban. I am the chief medical officer aboard the  Finalizer.  The Supreme Leader has left me in charge of this committee. We are to improve both the hygiene and health standards of Earth, and bring them up to First Order regulation standards.”

You could see the three health officials take in this information. You had yet to figure out if they were pleased with this or not.

“We plan on improving vaccinations and overall healthcare. We understand that your ‘first world’ countries have knowledge of disease prevention and basic hygiene but they seem to avoid this as a privilege. In the First Order, everyone receives the same top-quality care in our medical facilities and this is what we will bring here to your planet. Are there any initial questions,” asked Dr. Koroban.

“The First Order would like to improve the overall health and hygiene of the planet. Regardless of location and income,” asked the director of the CDC.

“Yes, as the Allegiant General Hux stated in his speech, ‘Personal Health is part of the foundation of organizational purity.’ Your planet has agreed to become annexed by the First Order and thus has become a part of the organization,” replied Dr. Koroban.

“So is the First Order asking us to just simply back up your policies or are they looking to be assisted in setting up policies for Earth,” asked the director of the WHO.

“Both. There are current health standards within the First Order that I can not compromise on, but there may be areas that we can adjust for your planet. Currently, we will not adjust our policies on vaccinations or proper basic hygiene. We may be able to adjust our dietary restrictions and our reproductive policies,” said Dr. Koroban.

“These vaccinations, are from possible diseases that they may come in contact with when dealing with those who come from other parts of the galaxy correct? Why would someone who may never come into contact with anyone from space,” asked the Surgeon General.

“The point is if they do, we also want everyone under our care to receive the same treatment. Like I said before vaccines are not on the table in means of adjusting our policy,” said Dr. Koroban.

“Can we first go over what your policies are,” you ask.

“Certainly Lady Ren. The First Order has mandatory vaccinations against Brainrot Plague, Rakghoul Plague, Endregaad Plague, FNV-23, Crimson Forever, Rooze Disease, Pig-Lizard Flu, Ascomycetous Pneumoconiosis, Balmorra Flu, along with a handful of others. We also do standard immunizations for Hepatitis B, Rotavirus, Diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis, Haemophilus and other vaccinations that coincide with the U.S. standards,” stated the Dr. Koroban. “We also require basic hand washing after every bathroom visit, daily showering, and thrice daily toothbrushing. We provide handkerchiefs to all personal along with many hand-sanitizing stations throughout our stations.”

“So these are the two policies that the First Order will not compromise on? What are the two that they might,” asked the director of the CDC?

“We have a two-child policy within the First Order, along with applications for parentage. There are harsh penalties for going against this policy. You must be of a certain rank and must have a certain clean record to be able to apply to have children. All females receive birth control implants and all personal are checked once a month for sexually transmitted diseases and infections. The First Order also has policies against non-monogamous relationships for this reason,” said Dr. Koroban. “In regards to dietary restrictions, we are a military. We control what our soldiers and officers eat aboard ships. It is carefully regulated to maintain peak performance within our ranks. We require certain supplements and vitamins for our personnel.”

“So the First Order wants to restrict the birth rate on our planet and control what we eat and drink,” asked the Surgeon General.

You spoke up, “No, these are the two policies that we can negotiate on. Certainly, you wish that everyone has access to birth control and STD testing, along with healthy diets. Because Earth will be mostly First Order civilians they are allowing flexibility that is not allowed within the military itself.”

All three of the health official took into consideration what you said. The director of the CDC asked, “So who are you? You are obviously not a First Order officer.”

“You are correct I am not. I am Lady Ren, I a contact for the First Order on Earth's societal issues. I am from Earth, but I am helping the First Order achieve a smooth transition in annexing this planet—a mediator of sorts,” you stated with an air of confidence.

Again they all three considered what was just said.

“So these decisions, how are they going to be made? Will you just overrule us? Or will there be actual compromises,” asked the director of the WHO.

“There will be compromises where compromises can be made. We urge you to think of the health of your people and how they will benefit from our policies. We do not want to make you distrust us, nor your people distrust us. A healthy citizen is a good citizen,” said Dr. Dabrini.

You pondered over the phases that Dr. Koroban repeated from General Hux, ‘Personal health is a part of the foundation of organizational purity.’ What did this mean? What did organizational purity mean? You knew that you were about to find out soon.

A number of random and minor things I’ve established for my Diluc over a couple weeks of talking Tea’s hears off and letting the Genshin brainrot take over:

his entire life he was fierily motivated to achieve greatness by his father’s standards and never fell short of coming up as a prodigy whether physically or academically, but it wasn’t until Kaeya came along that he really started coming out of his shell, being more at ease socially and actually enjoying his life; 

Kaeya is the taller sibling by a couple inches and older by roughly a year and a half ( but Diluc has more hair )

his pet tortoise’s name was Turters. he found it near the waterfall at Dawn Winery and Kaeya convinced him to keep it. he set it free when he was recruited by Favonius;

it probably goes without saying, but Diluc is not at ease at all with water, whether it involves swimming or just being soaked from rain;

it probably also goes without saying but he enjoys hot and spicy food. his culinary specialty also suggests he’s a big fan of cheese and red meat and i am running with this 100%

he became a knight at 13 because there’s regulations forbidding kid soldiers so no one can be officially knighted before that, but he was training to become one almost since he'd gotten his Vision at 10 (which was also very unorthodox), and obviously became the youngest captain in history at 14. he would likely have been promoted to Grand Master of Favonius when he turned 18 if he hadn’t quit;

he started tying up his hair when his father died;

he’s seen most if not all of Teyvat during his three year journey and acquired many a survival skill and underhanded tricks since he was on a chase but also on the run;

his near-death experience that prompted him to pause to reflect and go home involved the delusion ( finally ) backfiring on him and putting him through the same agony that forced him to mercy-kill his father; 

Diluc’s entire body is covered in scars because he burns his wounds as he gets them so even small bruises and scratches never properly heal. it’s the main reason he literally never shows any skin;

the hawk that keeps checking on him is Vennessa because he’s her descendent
