Ok, about Vongola Primo cause I note myself I gonna be back at him.

Honestly, Primo's memory in manga (because I hate the anime filler, ok gonna back to that later) doesn't show us much of Giotto's personality. Sociable or shy? Extroverted or introverted? Talkative or silent? We don't know anything. What I got from eight memories was that he was loyal, had a strong sense of justice.

And reckless, noone could take this from my dead cold body that Giotto, Vongola Primo, was reckless as fuck, and this is why:

- In his 1st memory, he chased a total stranger for God-know distance just to give back a wallet.

Righteous, yes. But also reckless, considering that their town was "paradise of outlaws." Cozart could be a gang member and following him could be extremely dangerous.

Did Giotto consider that? No, he just saw someone "drop the wallet" and immediately chased after them, no thought whatsoever about that person's identity and whether it may bring trouble if chasing that person.

- So, we knew from Nono's words that Giotto found Vongola at about Tsuna's canon age, which is 14, right? Which is, kids. And I bet Cozart and G couldn't be much older than that, considering that a 4-year difference in age normally caused a generation gap in conversation.

But okay, just talk about Giotto, then. He was a kid in every sense and he found a vigilante group to fight back larger gangs that can kill someone for not discounting the merchandise and from that, of course not gonna hesitate to kill kids. Keep considering that those "larger gangs" had enough firearms to destroy a house to brick, and we see so much difference between the two forces.

If Giotto found Vongola in 14 is not reckless then I don't know what is.

- He was the don, the very symbol of existence of a famiglia, and the first reaction after the shock when hearing his friend being in the battlefield was to run to that battlefield to save him.

Ok, at this point we can all agree he was a loyal friend that would give you his all, but that's not the main point in this scene.

The main point is Giotto stayed at home, alone, with Daemon, who at that point he knew was a traitor and just planned a whole scheme to kill off his best friend. Stay at home, alone, because the guardians that time were at the battlefield rescued Cozart.

I don't know whether Giotto was confident in the possibility that Daemon wouldn't attack him directly or confident in his winning even if Daemon chose to attack, but you can't tell me he was reckless with his own life as a chip at that scene.

- And the oath with Cozart too, a gamble on life. With his own children and blood. Giotto solely trusted two families won't conflict and no one had to be in jail when he had no way to control how things would turn out in the future. He didn't even control how Daemon ghosting over Vongola, I don't know if he even think his Mist could exist until more than a centure later. (And if Giotto could control that, what a real lookover we need to do, see how Daemon directly killed all of Enma's family. If Giotto could control his Mist guardian and he let that Flood of Blood incident happen, did that change the whole impression we have on him from the beginning? No, I don't think Giotto even had any control over Daemon's ghosting)

Vindice warned. But he still made the oath while having absolutely no idea what the future may be. Second to ninth gen of Simon were Giotto and Cozart's losing chips and Tenth gen was a win. A close one, because Simon Decimo Gen almost went to jail, all of them. And considering that seven children were all what Simon had, if Enma and his guardians went to jail then this oath was completely done in the worst way possible.

- Now to the smaller hints. Like his conflict with Secondo before retiring to Japan. It was brilliant. It was smart. It was the biggest "fuck you" I even see. Giotto conflicted with the next boss and he had to retire? No, he retired AND CUT THE FAMILY IN TWO. Vongola-Cedef. "No, you are the boss but don't even dare to think for one second that you got the whole power I used to have. You are the boss but your choice on the next boss will and can be affected by my own people. Oh and the rings. Lady Sepira gave it to me. Now split them in two and give half to my people. If your people want to be heir, they need to get agreement from my people and had the other half of the rings."

The founding of CEDEF was badass as hell don't anyone dare to tell me otherwise.

Even smaller details. The forth memory shows that he was in a strategic meeting with his family. Talking about a war. A war that according to Adel, "attempt to conquer all the lands of Europe". (Chapter 297) Okay, we can't say for sure how much the "conquer Europe" thing was true or just a lost tale of history, but the forth memory shows that Giotto had a strategic meeting, this can't be argued. He fought in war, a pretty big one.

And anyone remember his smiling yet fiery words "Give that Mare boy a scare"? Childish, I tell you. Giotto had a personality of a blazing flame with sarcasm under his tender and (appear to be) youthful face. Every single manga panels of his appearance can shown how fiery can he be.

And oh, Giotto was an emotional little teen too, just look at the second memory.

Did anyone gonna talk about his holding flower, punching wall and shouting about justice while drenching in rain? I will and I gonna say he was emotional as hell. And the other moments when Giotto accidentally knocked the ink bottle over when knowing Cozart was in the battlefield, or when he shouting at Cozart's decision to "going into shadow". You can't look at all of them and tell me Giotto's emotion was not overdrive so many times when he was alive.

On HDW mode, he was a solemn, overpowering authority figure, with a soft sadness in his eyes that somehow contained something unreachable. I really like how in eight memory in Inheritance Ceremony Arc, not a single time Giotto was in HDW mode, and he appeared to be lively and much more human than the symbol Vongola made him to be - there is much more to him than a title and a single number attached to it.

But damn his "more" is so :))) I literally don't know what to say when I finished reading about his scarcely past screentimes. I like his whole new reckless with a bit childish characteristics but that not mean it would cause a whole turnover to me, damn.

#khr #giotto #vongola primo #i actually like to call him Giotto than Vongola Primo #he is not only a flat character that only soft and kind and all the good stuff #he is messed up too #Cozart is the same as him but that for another post #khr meta #khr analysis

Since @normal-paldean-student did a Roleswap AU with Renee in Mare's place I wrote up a roleswap AU with Mare in Renee's place.

First big change: she doesn’t have Aura. Which is a problem because it means she can’t punch her way out of situations anymore. That means she has to get a lot better at battling. She also can’t heal. Which is fine cause her injuries go away when she goes to the next universe but does mean she can’t be as reckless about throwing herself into danger as she usually is.

Second big change: She starts with Crystal cause that’s the first game with a female player character option which also means she starts in New Bark Town instead of Goldenrod.

So, I’m gonna go through each gen individually and only cover mainline games because otherwise we’d be here all day and also I don’t have a lot of experience with a lot of the side-games. She went through those but I won’t talk about them. Also she still looks like herself just wearing different clothes. Also, also I’ll be calling this version Shifter Mare and the og version Auraverse Mare.

So, Crystal. Different town, same backstory except there’s no Norman to save them. Her mom encourages her to go on her Journey to get as far away from her father as possible. She doesn’t want to leave her mom but eventually agrees, promising to come back when she’s strong enough to face him. Her starter is a Cyndaquil.

She and Silver start off on the wrong foot when she just freaking decks him. This is, like, the only time engaging in physical violence actually works because it’s just really funny to me. What a first impression. They do eventually bond over having shitty dads and wanting to become stronger, though, and Silver’s probably one of her best friends of all time.

She takes beating the Pokemon League much more seriously than Auraverse Mare because that’s how she gets stronger. Eventually she beats Lance and kicks her dad’s ass (well, it’s more like she scares him away cause he has no Pokemon) then decides “Hey, that was fun, what if I did it again” and does the Kanto circuit before climbing Mt. Silver and defeating Red, something Auraverse Mare could never do. Climbing Mt. Silver really did a number on her though so as soon as the battle’s over she passes out…

…And wakes up in the back of a moving van. We’re in Ruby now. She’s a lot more hostile towards Norman in this timeline than even Auraverse Mare, partially because she just got force into a new timeline with zero warning and partially because, in her experience, dads are bad all the time. She, um, isn’t particularly nice to Professor Birch either but manages to hold it together long enough to get a Pokemon and Brendan (who she has a comparatively less hostile relationship with than Auraverse Mare because they don’t have the “We’re cousins so we gotta fight” attitude) seems happy enough.

She does have a bit of a crisis though because unlike Auraverse Mare, who put all her self-worth into being a hero, Shifter Mare put all her self-worth into being strong (Silver-type behavior, though she actually recognizes from the start that love and friendship works better than just using the strongest Pokemon like a tool) and without her Pokemon she’s not strong and if she’s not strong then what is she?

When she gets to Petalburg she is ecstatic at the idea of getting to battle Norman, who for his part is very confused as to why his daughter is suddenly acting hostile towards him and also doesn’t seem to know who he is, and when he sets the “you ned 4 gym badges to face me” condition she goes “Yeah, sure, I’ll do that, it’ll be more satisfying to beat you into the ground when I’m stronger anyways.” She also scares the shit out of Wally with how intense she is but they do eventually become friends and she’s quite fond of the kid.

She also bonds with Archie a bit. Not as much as Auraverse Mare but he likes her spunk and she likes his spirit. They beat Team Magma, she beats the Pokemon League, and gets to stick around long enough to take on the Battle Tower before being pulled away again.

Sapphire goes pretty similar. Shifter Mare’s less hostile towards Norman and Birch this time cause she’s figured out by now that maybe they’re not all that bad. She feels a little betrayed by Archie being the bad guy this time around even though she knows it’s an alternate universe so it’s not the same Archie. Bing bang boom, Emerald time.

At this point Shifter Mare’s growing pretty sick of this. Some mysterious unseen force refuses to let her get strong. Every time she reaches her peak she gets reset. But when she screams to the sky nothing answers so she’s forced to just go along with it.

It’s also worth noting at this point that Shifter Mare isn’t shy about the fact that she’s been traveling across universes. She’ll reference past adventures, mention things she should have no way of knowing about, and just say “I’m from an alternate universe.” This is really confusing for everyone else, who frequently question her sanity and also the fact that she finishes their sentences. Half the time she doesn’t even bother letting people finish their exposition, just cutting them off with “Yeah, I know already.”

Anyways, she’s mildly pleased to see that Emerald is more different than Ruby and Sapphire. Wallace being Champ instead of certified sopping wet cat Steven Stone is refreshing and the Battle Frontier is much more fun than the Battle Tower. But, unfortunately, it can’t last. Kanto’s next and Shifter Mare’s starting to think maybe she just wasn’t meant to be strong, maybe she was supposed to be weak and powerless and friendless forever. But if she’s supposed to be weak and powerless what else is there for her.

Anyway, Fire Red. Shifter Mare feels weird about this one because she knows this one and she knows it’s not supposed to be her story. To her, this is Red’s story. Blue is Red’s rival. Pallet Town is Red’s home. She’s not supposed to be here.

She does find a new purpose, though. If this is the past (technically) maybe she can find Silver and save him from his father. It wouldn’t be her Silver but it would be a Silver. And, hey, she kind of owed it to him to try.

So she goes through the Kanto League, unnerved the whole way through, but no matter how hard she searched she couldn’t find Silver. Even after she became Champion and had all of the League’s resources at her disposal she couldn’t find him. Not that she got much time to search because she got sucked into another world not long after becoming Champ.

Take two, Leaf Green. For the first time and last time, Mare goes off-script. No Gym Challenge, only searching for Silver. And it has disastrous consequences. Though Mare is making herself quite the nuisance to them in her search for Silver, because she’s not following the main plot route, Team Rocket achieve all their goals and thus gain total domination over the Kanto region, just their first step on their way to conquering the world. And it was all for nothing too because she never finds Silver.

Next world! Diamond! Uh, Mare’s not doing too hot. She was just indirectly responsible for so much suffering. And she can’t talk to anybody about it because nobody would know what she was talking about. Plus she keeps losing her support network. So she makes a resolution to never allow anything like that to happen again. From now on, if anybody was suffering it was her duty to put a stop to it. That was the only way she would ever be worth anything and the only way to atone for what she’d done. There’s the Savior Complex. Took a while but we got there.

Aside from that, the new universe was pretty nice. She thought Barry was a bit annoying and she didn’t like the dress she had to wear (were there no clothing shops in Sinnoh?) but it was nice. Though she couldn’t help but be on edge, expecting something bad to happen at any moment. And she wasn’t wrong to be. Team Galactic was on the scene and they were far more threatening than any foe she’d faced in the past. The amount of suffering they caused and the Pokemon they abused infuriated Mare, who tore through their ranks with her Pokemon, completing the gym challenge along the way so she could use HMs. Why were there so many HMs in this universe?

Pearl was pretty much the same story but Platinum was different. Whereas in the previous two adventures she’d basically been speedrunning, here she slowed down a bit. This was her third run and she was kinda tired. This meant that she actually listened when Cyrus explained his motivations and it also meant that she saw how much pain he was in. Before she’d seen him as just a big bad guy she needed to beat but he had clearly suffered in the past. She tried to reason with him several times throughout her adventure but it ultimately didn’t work and he tried to go through with the plan anyways. It still taught her a valuable lesson, though: bad guys are people too. Oh, also people seemed a lot more willing to consider her alternate dimension story than usual. Well, Cynthia and Cyrus were, at least. Doing research into Sinnoh history makes you a bit more open to the possibility.

Heart Gold is next. It wasn’t really that traumatizing compared to the others but it was weird being back in Johto. It was all so familiar but also very, very different. Her father was nowhere in sight, there’s this guy called Ethan hanging around, and there was a Battle Frontier apparently (that was exciting). Most notable, though, was this universe had a Silver and they started off on a really weird note because the moment Mare saw him she broke down crying and hugged him as tight as she could while apologizing so much. Which was weird for him because this wasn’t her Silver and he had absolutely no idea who she was.

Other than that it and Soul Silver were pretty standard affairs. Mare tried her best to put Silver on the right path but never quite had the same friendship with him as she had with her Silver. She may have cried… a lot. She actually freaked Whitney out by crying after winning the Gym Battle because that’s what she was supposed to do, not the Challenger.

After that nice little breather, we’re back on the heavy stuff. Black is next. She has a… complex relationship with N. She can see where he’s coming from and understands not wanting to see Pokemon suffer but she also thinks he’s a hypocrite for claiming to want to set Pokemon free yet also using them in battle. Even if the Pokemon do agree to it he’s still having them do the work instead of defending his ideals himself. She also decks him at least once.

In White she treats N with a lot more sympathy, knowing his whole situation and relating to it. The first thing she does upon meeting this version of him is give him a hug and promise to get him out of this which he doesn’t really understand. She actually manages to form a genuine friendship with him because she’s the first person besides his sisters to treat him with legit compassion and not see him solely as a tool, a king, or an enemy.

Black 2 and White 2 are weird. She was used to alternate versions of her friends but it was weird seeing Cheren and Bianca 2 years older than her while she hadn’t aged a day. It was also kind of depressing because they’d moved on to new things while she was still doing the same thing because she had too. Everyone else could move forward, she was stuck in the same cycle forever.

In other news, Hugh worried her significantly because he reminded her of Silver just with not terrible parents. His only desire was to get stronger to fight Team Plasma and it seemed like he was willing to go to any length to do it. His heart was in the right place but his head wasn’t. She made sure to keep a close eye on him and try her best to set make sure he doesn’t do something stupid that he’ll regret. Also I’m taking creative liberty and Ghetsis is killed by Black/White Kyurem in this version because I think it’s poetic that he’s killed by the beast he created and was foolish enough to think he could control, thus falling victim to his own hubris.

Pokemon X. She’s kinda surprised that she has this large friend group now. Usually she’s got one or two rivals and that’s it. It’s kind of nice cause it’s something she’s never really had before. Mega Evolution gives her quite the shock as well as the Fairy Type being a thing now. She thinks it’s all very cool. Name a more iconic duo than Mare and a Mega Lucario.

She pegs Lysandre as a bad guy immediately because she’s heard his rhetoric before from other villains and tries to alert somebody too it but everyone kind of dismisses her except for her friends. So with no adults to rely on (as usual, tbh) they’re forced to deal with this themselves. Also Mare hates Xerosic with a passion for what he did to Emma. Pokemon Y is more or less the same with the exception that she tries (and fails) to get into the Geosenge Base. Oh, also Mare is terrible at fashion. Like, just the worst.

ORAS. Oh I’ve been excited to get here. The first Region Mare ever shifted too. But unlike with Heart Gold and Soul Silver’s Johto, the Hoenn of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire is very different from the one she knew. It was still familiar but at every turn she ran into something different. The people looked different, the cities looked different. A lot of the major events were still the same and yet they were so different. It was almost disorienting, going through the same events and yet not being able to predict what would happen next. But hey, at least she finally got her iconic ribbon.

She also falls in love for the first time. Shifter Mare finally gets to meet Zinnia and cannot handle the flirting. In Omega Ruby, Zinnia takes off before she has time to actually sort through these feelings but in Alpha Sapphire they actually manage to start a relationship… which doesn’t last long because Mare shifts again. Womp womp.

Sun is another entry in the “Your parent is terrible, I am going to be your friend now.” saga. As soon as Mare figures out what’s going on with Lillie and Gladion and their mom (she has her suspicions from the start that they’ve got something going on with their parent but she doesn’t know it’s Lusamine specifically until the reveal) she makes it her mission to ensure their safety. She also feels for Guzma and Team Skull and while at first she dismisses them as kind of silly by the end she actually has a lot of respect for them.

The Post-Game, though, that’s where things get real interesting. Because Anabel is a faller, making her the first person Mare’s ever met who has also gone through interdimensional travel. And she has no idea she even did it because her memory is gone. Mare’s not entirely sure how to respond to the whole thing and neither are Looker, Nanu, and Anabel who certainly hadn’t been expecting to meet a girl who had traveled to several dimensions. The whole thing gets very messy very fast.

Also Mare meets Red and Blue and is really unsure about what to think of the fact that they’re in their 30s and she’s still a teenager.

When Moon rolls around she befriends Lillie immediately, though this is still Mare so her aggressive and boisterous personality can be a bit much for her at times. Gladion is resistant but does eventually form a begrudging friendship, guess you can’t win over every Silver-coded rival. She also treats Team Skull like people instead of jokes and tries her best to get others to do the same.

I’ll be up front, I don’t know what happens in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon outside of the fact that Lusamine is kind of sort of a good guy but Mare’s suspicious of her the whole time. I do know what happens in the Rainbow Rocket Post Game, though. Remember that one world Mare accidentally screwed over by going off script? Well that Giovanni has discovered interdimensional travel. So, uh, this one’s kind of on Mare. Anyways, she beats him, he taunts her about how she never found Silver, time to move on.

Sword and Shield… is pretty by the book, honestly. Mare is extremely frustrated that Leon refuses to let her get involved in any way until the very end but other than that nothing remarkable happens. I didn’t play the DLC so I don’t know what happened there so… moving on.

Finally, Scarlet and Violet. Because putting Mare in a school is a good idea. She gets in trouble basically immediately but is let off the hook cause its her first day and Director Clavell’s nice like that. In regards to her friends, she bonds with Nemona over their shared love of battling, she deduces that Penny is Cassiopeia but doesn’t say anything (she also does not deduce that totally radical and regular student Clive is actually Director Clavell because I think that’s hilarious), and the moment she meets Arven she’s like “Yeah, I think we should punch your parents in the face.”

She’s actually kind of on edge the whole time, actually, because the whole thing is so low level. No world ending catastrophes, no large scale criminal organizations. The stakes weren’t necessarily low, the life of Arven’s Mabosstiff was very much in danger, but it wasn’t the same “everyone’s gonna die” stakes she was used to. She was almost glad when they had to face off against AI Turo/Sada and destroy a dangerous time machine.

And, uh, that’s it. She’s kind of in the same position as Renee, waiting for the cycle to repeat once again.

inspired by big yellow's claim in their video abt rby magneton that she could learn more than 20 moves, every generation 1 move a human, with any level of training [tm equivalent] but no equipment [gen 1 has nyo held items]

Assorted Leftovers - Dig - Ground - While humans aren't exactly known for tunneling bare handed, they are capable - Lick - Ghost - Humans have tongues - Mirror Move - Flying - Humans are capable of copying an enemy, to atleast the same extent as a bird

Psychic - Amnesia - While not on command, it is known to happen in response to acute physical or mental stress - Hypnosis - Though semi-contested, many humans claim the capability to preform hypnosis, or be hypnotised, solely through verbal stimuli - Meditate - The practice of meditation is practiced by many humans - Rest - Humans not just are capable of, but require hours of rest daily to function properly

Fighting - Counter - Countering an opponent's hit is used in many human martial arts - Double Kick - Human martial artists practicing Taekwondo preform a technique called a "double kick" - Jump Kick - Humans are capable of preforming a "kick" using the force created by gravity after jumping - Hi Jump Kick - Similar to previous, though what counts as "high" is debatable - Low Kick - This is more commonly a "leg sweep", but is usable to knock an opponent to the ground - Rolling Kick - A technique called a rolling kick is practiced in Kyokushin, a japanese form of karate - Submission - A similarly named technique is seen in many human bedrooms, though it differs immensely in execution and effect

Normal - Bite - Also seen in many human bedrooms, humans have teeth and are capable of biting with force - Body Slam - Though not a common technique, certain wrestling moves do involved the slamming of a body's whole weight - Double-Edge - A reckless full body attack is something humans can preform - Tackle - It can also be weak - Take Down - Or a bit stronger - Comet Punch - Preforming multiple repeated punches is possible for humans, though the technique is seemingly not associated with comets - Double Slap - Humans have hands, and are therefore capable of slapping things - Glare - Humans have eyes, and are sometimes depicted glaring as an intimidation technique - Leer - Another action preformed by the eyes - Growl - They are capable of growling, though it is seen as unusual - Headbutt - A close ranged strike, slamming thicker parts of the skull into a sensitive area - Skull Bash - A variant on headbutting - Karate Chop - This is a technique used in Karate, which is a martial art form practiced by humans - Lovely Kiss - Humans are known to kiss loved ones goodnight - Mega Kick / Mega Punch - Humans are capable of both kicking and punching, whether any of them count as "mega" is something debatable - Mimic - As covered previously, humans are capable of mimicing things, and preforming those actions later - Pound - Yet another thing seen in their bedrooms - Quick Attack - Humans are more known for endurance running, but are capable of being somewhat "quick", debatable - Rage - Humans are capable of anger - Scratch - Humans with sufficently longer fingernails are capable of scratching - Fury Swipes - Or scratching multiple times - Slash - Or scratching but better - Screech - Humans are capable of producing tones, and some would be unpleasne - Sing - Humans are also able to produce soothing tones - Stomp - By rapidly lowering a leg, humans can preform a stomp - Struggle - All pokemon are capable of struggling, and many animals on earth do, including humans - Thrash - Thrashing about is effectively an more violent form of struggling

Coming in at 42 moves, though some of these are contenous both in raw exectuion and whether to include some "stronger" variants, humans are capable of preforming more moves than generation 1's magneton

I don't know where you want to take the FE flavored bits in your Pokemon AU, but in the Pokemon Anime there are some side plots involving modern/vestigial royalty. (Dawn's or Chloe's doppelgangers come to mind.) So, if Al and Shari are still descended from royalty in this AU, the Honedge line could be an Ancient Royal Family Tradition. I can picture Gustav using Alfonse's Aegislash or lack-there-of (still a Doublade?) as a point of contention, even if the family "kingdom" is just an old castle estate now. If Al doesn't have one/evolved his later than normal/non-traditionally than he is still Immature and Not Ready etc. Which would kinda fill in as a decent plot translation for their Bad Paternal/Filial Relationship.

But that's just a thought, since Aegislash really is just a strangely "Alfonse" pokemon. I hope however your ideas take form they bring you joy.

OHHH THIS IS FASCINATING.... I'm def most familiar with the game lore, and even then it's been a while since I was Deeply in The Interest so I'm rusty! The idea of the Askr family still being royalty here just wasn't a possibility in my mind!

For the lore of it, I was definitely gonna start with referencing the Aether Foundation, and go from there (esp since gen 7 has my ENTIRE heart story/character lineup wise, DEF left the deepest impression on me back then! 🥺🫣 ScarVio def matches it though). But my thought process was, translating royalty into being the head of a big important foundation or company... esp one like the Aether Foundation where it's benevolent on the surface, just. Has one crazy motherfucker behind it corrupting things from the inside 🧍. WHICH... wouldn't be a one-to-one, but I think also the politics of different organizations could easily translate to evil team plots and whatnot (esp in the case of Embla, maybe a rival to whatever Askr has going on?)

But as you can probably tell, none of this has even been thought about yet LMFAOO 😅 I DO really like the approach here though... where the "royalty" is just some old tired but emotionally significant tradition. The rivaling families can still exist too. Just on a much, MUCH smaller and petty scale. WHICH IS SO FUNNY TBH.... imagine being just some guy, who gets tangled up in this. Stupidest most oddly compelling family drama ever, that spans generations. Which surely won't explode into something catastrophic.... if...... general rules about evil teams in Pokemon and Embla itself is anything to go by.... (LIKE. USING "evil team" as a BROAD descriptor here. In my head I'm imagining what if Team Aqua/Magma weren't extremist environmentalists and instead had like an XY old royalty family rivalry plot. Something to that effect!)

BUT!!!! BUT!!!!! I DO REALLY LOVE THE AEGISLASH IDEA........ the Foreshadowing of it...... but also the characterization!!!!! With Aegislash's offense form/defense form gimmick!!!!

I am ALWAYS thinking about Alfonse's characterization of being someone who may play defense for a little too long. During the Flavia FBs, he guards and blocks to his detriment, not making any real progress in the sparring. Then there's the promo/introduction of that PVP mode, demonstrated by Alfonse battling Veronica -- wherein, Alfonse starts off strong, but because he played too defensively as the game went on, Veronica got the upper hand and won. (THAT EXAMPLE. IS ALWAYS SUCH A FUNNY ONE TO PULL FROM FOR ME.... but the AMOUNT. Of characterization you get from it, even if it's not in-game material and is a promo/demo of a new mode. It's fascinating to me, and you see so succinctly how it plays out!)

But then you have the offense side of it!!!! Where there are just as many moments it seems (or, as time has gone on and Alfonse has gained more confidence), where he acknowledges that a defensive approach won't work. He thinks it through. He comes up with A Plan. And that plan usually involves going ALL out, All or Nothing, FOR THE THROAT, putting his whole pussy into it!!!!!! The reckless factor, the "calculated risks", ect ect!!!!! Get em, Alfonse!!!!! You crazy bitch!!!!!!

I JUST THINK. THE WAY YOU CAN DO STORYTELLING IN POKEMON. IS ALWAYS SOOOOOO FUN AND FASCINATING. You have 1000+ mons to pick from, with HUNDREDS of little quirks that make up all of them. From dex entries, to playstyle, appearances ofc, typings, and game mechanics (age old tried and true storytelling device of the friendship evolution Pokemon, AND EVEN!!!! TRADE EVOLUTION POKEMON!!!!! Which could inform you about a character's connection to other trainers, even if that other trainer isn't a character themselves... the implication, that maybe a loner type trainer has a trade evo Pokemon that they WERE able to evolve... who helped them do that? 👀). That's just a handful of the things you can work with! The amount of depth you can go with is astounding!!!! And perhaps... overwhelming 😅🧍

#ask answered!#pokefeh au #HONESTLY BASED TAKE BC I WOULD NOT HAVE EVEN THOUGHT TO IMPLEMENT THE ROYALTY ASPECT LIKE THIS #but i def think it's a more compelling and fitting and funny approach. has A LOT of potential #and def brings the focus back on the characters vs the broader world of it. which!!!! is so good actually #bc that is The Point of aus. how are these characters still recognizably themselves in completely alternate circumstances?#DEF.... WILL HAVE TO ROTATE THIS IN MY MIND.... whenever i get back into it!!!

Party of Three

Request: Reader is maverick's sister and is dating iceman, finds out she's pregnant.

@sebastianstangirl01

Pairing: Iceman x Reader (afab)

Tag list is open!

Requests are open!

Warnings: Some angst, some fluff, one punch. ( i did not proof read, bc it's midnight )

a/n: In true gen-z fashion I cannot write a fic without the use of cell phones so, were going with it. Everything else is pretty cannon i think.

You've been feeling off for almost three weeks before you realize you haven't had your period for 2 months. Your heart hasn't stopped racing since you came the realization of what that probably means.

Rushing to the store at a prompt 8:46 this morning to get pregnancy tests. You haven't been able to work up the nerve to actually take said tests. Anxiously biting your lips, even though they are already tender and you taste the tang of blood.

Sighing you look at the clock, and seeing it is 4:00 and you've wasted the entire day looking at the damn tests on your coffee table you stand. Finally grabbing the box you march to the bathroom in what you hope is confidence but you know is really just fear and mental exhaustion.

You've spent all day running through every possible situation that could come from this. No matter what your older brother is going to be pissed. You groan as you think about what he's going to say to you. Not ready for the onslaught of being told you are irresponsible and how could you be so reckless.

Opening the boxes to gather the tests out you have shaky hands and almost drop the pregnancy tests. It takes another ten minutes to actually build up the courage to sit down to take the tests.

Within a minute you have three tests sitting on the counter. You turn on your phone timer to 5 minutes, and god you'd rather plank for five minutes straight than wait for this. You sit on the ground, back to the cabinets that are holding your entire future on top of it.

Your leg is shaking as you anxiously wait for the results. Glancing down at your phone every 3 seconds feeling like it's been 30. When the timer finally does go off, you've never stood up so fast. Legs feeling like jello, and your palms are sweaty.

Swallowing hard you pick up the first test. Looking down to see a plus sign your heart stops. Quickly glancing at the other two you see they are also plus signs.

You can't take it anymore and your nerves are shot. Rushing to the toilet you let out all the contents from the sandwich you forced yourself to eat earlier.

Hearing your phone buzz on the counter you stand, leaning against the counter as you read the message.

My love: Hey sweetheart, we're all gonna go to the bar tonight, want me to swing by and pick you up.

It takes you a solid two minutes to come up with a halfway decent reply, hoping it sounds like you in any way.

You: I'm actually not feeling too hot, just a headache so don't worry about me go have fun :)

It doesn't take him more than 10 seconds to call.

"Do you need anything?" He doesn't even bother with a hello when he hears you pick up the phone. You try to control the shaky in your voice when you answer.

"No-no that's okay, I'm just gonna take some tylenol and try and sleep." You can picture him furrowing his brow, because usually you love cuddles when you aren't feeling well and you never say no to take out and icecream when you have a headache either.

"Babe are you sure? I can go to your favorite Chinese food and grab some ben and jerry's?"

"yea I'm sure, I just really feel tired, So go enjoy your time with the boys" You feel so bad lying to him, knowing he's got that confused look in his eyes and he's probably running a hand through his blond hair. Almost like if he does it enough he will solve whatever problem is wracking his brain.

"alright... but you'll call if you need anything right?" You hate yourself for the sad tone to his voice.

"Of course babe" you cringe because you know this whole conversation is a train wreck attempt at acting normal. You quickly say your goodbyes and love you's before hanging up. You call the only other person you know you can trust with this.

"Mav... I need you"

And thank god for Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell, because he's outside of your place in less than 30 minutes. You do feel bad because he picks up your favorite Chinese food on his way over. An offer you just ignored from the man you swear is the love of your life.

"Oh mini Mitchell, what's got you all out of wack" is the first thing your brother says to you. The look on your face must say it all, because he is wrapping you in a hug without you even saying a word.

You called Mav for a reason, knowing he would give you the time you needed to get whatever is on your mind sorted before speaking. He's making idle chit chat about his day, knowing both of you aren't here to hear or talk about Mav and his dare devil ways. However, he does know that you aren't ready to tell him why you called him over so he's dishing out the food and distracting his sister the best way he knows how.

It takes two and a half hours before you blurt out your thoughts. Anxiety running rampant in your mind and seeping into your tone.

"Mav...I'm Pregnant" It can't be more than a whisper but you know he hears you because he freezes mid reach for popcorn. It feels like a lifetime could go by in the time you are waiting for maverick to reply. "mav... please say something" You're desperate, needing to know that maverick will support you in this.

"I don't know what to say" You can tell his answer is honest, and you can't really fault him for being shocked and stumped for words, because if you're being honest so are you.

"Please just be here for me...I can't do this on my own"

"you will never do anything alone" his blue eyes pierce into you as he says this, and you are so thankful to have a brother as loyal as maverick.

With the small weight of maverick knowing and knowing you won't be in this alone, no matter what Tom says, you feel like you can breathe slightly lighter now. Your brother is a man of few words in this moment though, and you let him, because you don't really have anything else to add either.

He reaches over and hugs you, and it's then you feel the exhaustion of such an emotionally grueling day hit you. You don't have it in you to stay up to face Tom when he gets home, knowing he prefers to sleep here instead of on base on weekends.

______

Maverick might not have said it to you, but boy oh boy was he pissed. First Kazansky had the nerve to date his little sister, now he's gotten you pregnant?!

After he made sure you had everything you needed and went to bed, he headed directly to the bar he was counting on Iceman being at. He keeps rehearing the phrase "I can't do this on my own" in your scared voice bounce around his head. Clenching his jaw, rage runs through him at the thought of Tom thinking he could just get you pregnant and leave you out to dry.

He whips his bike into a parking stall, seeing none other than Ice's car parked in the third stall over. He's seeing nothing but red as he makes his way into the crowded bar. Eyes searching for one person only.

Goose see's maverick walk in, brow furrowing as the brunette brushes right past him, anger radiating off of him in thick waves.

"KAZANSKY" is shouted as soon as Maverick lands eyes on him. It takes not two seconds for him to be within grasp and Maverick doesn't hesitate to send a brutal punch to the blond pilots eye.

"Maverick what the hell!" Tom reaches for his eye, confused as to why he's standing in searing pain when sure he and Mav have always had somewhat of a turbulent friendship but things had been sailing smoothly for a while now, since he started dating you.

"DON'T WHAT THE HELL ME, YOU THINK YOU CAN GET MY SISTER PREGNANT AND BAIL AND I WONT KICK YOUR ASS" and has never been more confused because... well what the fuck?

"Maverick what the fuck are you talking about?"

"Don't fucking play dumb with me!" and goose the level headed one-- an odd thing to say about the usual goofball, steps between the two.

"Mav... can you explain what's going on" and if it were anyone other than goose who was asking they probably would have been punched too.

"This fucking asshole got my little sister pregnant, now she's sitting at home terrified because he left her to do it alone!" and goose has to physically hold maverick to keep him for going in for another strike.

"She's pregnant?" and it's like a bucket of ice cold water gets dumped over the trio. Tom's head is spinning. Why didn't you tell him? He's gonna be a dad? Wait why did you think you were going to do it alone? Man his eye still hurts.

Maverick has immediate guilt wash over him, he didn't know you hadn't told tom yet, and maybe he shouldn't have punched the guy and caused and scene out in public before he knew the whole story. Maverick has always been an act first think later sort of person and usually it works out, but this time his gut is telling him he's not gonna be so lucky.

"You-you didn't know" and it's not a question, it's a statement. Iceman just shakes his head, shouldering his way out of the bar. Easy to ignore the throbbing of his eye when his heart feels like it might shatter.

_____

You wake up the next morning feeling slightly better about the situation than you did yesterday. Finding it weird when you don't see tom in bed next to you. Yawning you figure maybe he got too tipsy at the bar last night and had to get a ride with someone else, leading him to stay on base.

You slowly make your way into the living room, scanning the mess on the coffee table from your's and Mavericks movie escapades. Telling yourself you'll clean that up later you walk into the kitchen. Gasping at what you see, or rather who you see at the kitchen island.

"Honey what happened to your face!" you reach out to touch his cheek and feel a stinging in your chest when he moves away.

"Were you going to tell me" Your heart freezes at his words.

"t-tell you what" and you hate the stutter to your voice, feeling like you might explode from fear.

"You know what" is his cold reply.

"How did you find out" your voice is so quiet, and you can feel a tear leave the corner of your eye. He won't even look at you. This is exactly what you were afraid of, you two had never talked about kids, and god if he were anything like your brother then he didn't want them.

"Your brother told me, gave me this shiner too" and there's such a dead tone to his voice that it has you scared. He never sounds this monotone to you, so much like he just doesn't care.

"I-I...." and your voice catches on sobs in your throat.

"I'm sorry" it finally makes it's way out of your mouth, combined with an ugly sob. He finally looks up at you, and you see his swollen eye for all it's glory.

"For what exactly, sending your brother after me or--" and you cut him off.

"for getting pregnant... I know you don't want this, so it's okay if you go..." and you are whispering, any louder and you might break in half. You can't bear the thought of losing the one man you've ever really loved, but you don't want him to feel trapped to you and this baby.

You see his brow furrow, and you think here we go, he's trying to figure out how to tell you he doesn't want you or this baby, and to leave him alone.

"what makes you think I don't want this" You don't even have to think about your response.

"because you're a pilot, you don't want to be held back"

"I am not Maverick." You glance up at him, to see him now standing in front of you, just out of arms reach.

"Darling, all I've ever wanted was a future with you, and here you are carrying ours and thinking I don't want it?" Your breath hitches at his words, speechless as he moves closer, resting his hand on your non existent bump.

"I'm gonna be a dad" it's nothing but a whisper and maybe you aren't even supposed to hear it, but it makes you cry harder. All the anxiety of him not wanting this washes away in an instant.

He looks up, quickly bringing his hands to your face, wiping your tears off your face as best he can with how quick they are leaving your eyes. Softly he places his lips against yours, it's every bit reassuring as any words he's going to say to you.

"Sweetheart, I hate that you didn't trust me to come to me with this, but I'm not going anywhere, You are carrying our baby and you're my future wife. There's nothing that could keep me away from you" It sends fresh tears down your cheeks and you can't help but laugh.

"I'm so sorry I didn't tell you first, and I'm so sorry maverick gave you that awful black eye. I was just- I was so scared that you wouldn't want us." He glances down at your stomach, full smile on his face.

"I'd take a black eye for you any day love, just give me a chance next time please?"

_____

You two spend the next three hours discussing plans, calling a doctor and him pulling you out of your anxious thoughts of 'will I be a good mom?'

"This little bean is going to make us a party of three tom!" You have anxiety pouring out of you.

"Can't wait to make it a party of four" comes his suggestive reply and wink. You throw a pillow at him.

"Can't you let me deal with this pregnancy first" you grumble, a happy smile on your face.

"Only if you let me marry you" and when you turn back around you see tom kneeling, ring out.

"this isn't really how i planned on doing this, but you're carrying my baby and I just don't want to wait any longer to have my ring on your finger" He lets out a nervous laugh, as you tear up again. If any one asks you're going to say it's pregnancy hormones.

"Oh my god yes!!" you can't help but to tackle the gorgeous aviator to the ground in excitement.

"we're waiting till after the baby though, no way I'm walking down the aisle with a baby belly" You add as an afterthought. Unable to stop yourself from joining Tom's laughter at your comment.

"God I can't wait for your baby belly... but whatever you want for our wedding honey" you both can't help but grin at those words. Our wedding.

Yeah maybe you had nothing to worry about in the first place but you'd live through it ten times over if it meant marrying the love of your life and having his kids.

Hello there, hope you're doing well!

If you're still taking requests outside of your current event, I'd like some headcanons or even a small drabble. Feel free to do anything

Basically: How Law handles being together with a strawhat s/o that can...hold herself in fights?? Someone who stands in the same ground as the worst gen and can beat his ass at any given moment :kek: would be funny if they're Luffy's older sister

Ramble starting here: reason for this is so Law can't really tell her what to do for her "safety." We've seen him leave his entire crew to protect them and caring someone who's not his subordinate makes the game different

Law knows the strawhats attract some crazy shit, he knows she's more likely to be protecting him. The fact that she's still loyal to her brother and willingly throws herself into danger is aiduJDHS frustrating. But at the same time, they're stronger and all he can do is wish they don't disappear one day

Fuck this is long..but anyway lmk if you don't want it and I'll request from your event

hi <3 i am doing good, i hope you're doing good too! i like the idea of someone being much stronger than law and him just... not being able to deal with it for obvious reasons 🥺️😭💓took a lil creative liberty with some things, but i like it; i hope you enjoy!

881 words, fem reader, sfw (slightly suggestive, nothing major), tiny bit of angst, tiny bit of fluff (just pretend), 18+, mdni; a lil scenario/drabble featuring our favorite, emotionally constipated pirate <3 alcohol mention, a lil bit of teasing on reader's part but that's just how it is. luffy makes a brief appearance.

in your most humble opinion, it can’t be considered arrogance if you really are strong and know it; it’s also not arrogant of you to boldly declare that you can handle the fleet of warships that loiter around the sunny while the others prepare the ship for escape; and, lastly, it’s truly not arrogant of you to leap into dangerous situations without assessing for possible outcomes.

what you consider to be perfectly normal and acceptable behavior, law sees as irresponsible, irredeemable, and foolish.

to put it plainly, you agitate him to no end.

as someone who prides himself on making sure that the choices he makes do not wholly impact those he cares about, he finds it jarring to see that you don’t necessarily think the same way as he does. you’re not quite as reckless or as simple-minded as your rambunctious captain — who, to law’s horror, also happens to be your younger brother — nor are you as cut-throat as the swordsman who serves as the vice-captain of your crew, but you’re right up there with them.

three idiots who don’t care how things are done as long as the outcome is favorable.

on the surface you don’t look like you’d have the same monstrous strength as luffy — but you do. not because of any devil fruit, but because that’s just how you’re built. you were both born to be free — wild, even — scaling and navigating the depths of dangerous jungles as children. law understands the level of savagery that you needed to cultivate to survive; the only difference is his survival was contingent on enacting revenge, and yours wasn’t.

everything about you should annoy him greatly; your laugh, your outlook on life, your impulsiveness, your ability to make him forget that he’s supposed to dislike you. it bothers him that you get along with his crew without even trying — they love your quirky humor and that you disrupt law’s peace in a way that they could never. shachi and penguin nudge bepo repeatedly, snickering loudly, while the latter does his best to ignore just how funny it is that law keeps fuming in your presence.

it’s only after law shoots them a sharp look that they shut up immediately and walk away.

“funny bunch,” you say absently, a knowing smile on your face as you proceed to be the worst nuisance the universe could ever send him.

at a certain point, after seeing your interactions with the hearts pirate captain, where it’s painfully obvious that you belong more with them than you’ve ever belonged with the straw hats, luffy suggests you tag along with law.

there’s strength in numbers, he says sagely, in between bites of food; your laugh is soft, but genuine and you doubt your younger brother even realizes what he’s said to you. there aren’t any tearful goodbyes on your part, and luffy decides on holding a large celebration in your honor — that law finds absolutely unnecessary, but begrudgingly attends — where you drink until your face flushes for the duration of the night.

on board the polar tang, you ask law a lot of pointless questions, sit way too close to him; your curiosity is unparalleled, unrestrained, chaotic, especially when you do things like stray from the plans he’s carefully laid out, or jump onto an enemy ship without even thinking twice.

that level of recklessness — what you call fearless — will get you killed; he knows that all too well, has seen what happens when someone dares to fly too close to the sun; someday someone will clip your wings and halt all of your madness.

so, why is it that he’s found himself much more at ease the more you’re around; why are you the rare exception to his rule — where he vehemently refuses to let anyone else inside his heart, the fear of losing them much greater than any hope he has of keeping them — and why does he find himself constantly looking out for you, where he ensures that there is no plan that doesn’t guarantee your safety.

you get in the habit of telling him time and time again — mostly late at night while the others are sound asleep, in between soft, playful kisses that you press against his knuckles, cheeks, and lips; ones he pretends he doesn’t like, despite reciprocating — that you’re fine, great, even. you don’t need protecting; and while law knows that, he hates that he can’t do that for you.

thankfully for him, you don’t throw it in his face; if anything, you’re just glad he’s alive, regardless of who protects who. you say as much when you openly hug him in front of your crew mates and enjoy how his cheeks flush lightly at the contact; when you hop on his lap randomly and steal bacon off of his plate in the morning; when your lips ghost along his jaw, making him forget whatever worries he has as he attempts to stay focused while reading.

he’s come to accept that you cannot be tamed, and you’ve come to accept that his pessimism isn’t wholly unwarranted, that you can stand to be a bit more careful, and that if you want law to live a long, fruitful life you should stop leaping into dangerous situations without thinking a little.

#fic request #one piece imagine #one piece hcs #one piece x reader #one piece x y/n #one piece angst #one piece fluff #trafalgar law #trafalgar law x reader #trafalgar law x y/n #law x reader #law x y/n #law fluff #law angst #i wish law could do better but...

Hello! Can I request an hc about a shady MC who's not phase by anything in Devildom with the brothers (and Diavolo?? he deserves love!!!)? Like, when Luci's like "i CaN KiLL yOu hUmAN", MC's reaction was like "Oh... congratulations then." i need more shady mc who may or may not be planning to ruin your life😂😂 Thanks and take care!!❤❤

The Brothers + Diavolo with an MC that is not phased by DevilDom

__________________________________

Pls I need more shady MC, they would not take any shit from the brothers. Put any Gen Z-er with these guys and you’ve got yourself a suicidal and reckless human exchange student.

They wouldn’t know what to do with one of those ahaksbakanhaka you’re right, Diavolo deserves all the love >:(((((((

You better take care too >:( thanks for sending me this big brain request. I’ve been preoccupied with other projects so I took a while to get to this ask. Hope you’re doing OK💙

____________________________________

Lucifer:

-He thought having a human exchange student was going to be bad enough as it is but this…..this was so much worse than he could have ever imagined

-The moment you arrived, he already knew you were going to be a problem child and a persistent one at that

-Literally the first thing you asked him was : “Why do you look like an off-brand Levi Ackerman?”

-And he was left there, astounded, confused and offended because he had no idea who you were talking about (cuz at that point you hadn’t met the third eldest) and the tone you had was, frankly, pissing him off

-You kept wondering off on your own????? Without looking like you gave a shit even though you almost walked into a butcher’s shop that specialises in human meat???? Tf MC?

-Also really irritated that you couldn’t be intimidated and that DevilDom was like a playground to you, for some reason? Like, MC get out of the fiery pits of eternally tormented souls- this is Hell, not the McDonald’s ball pit ffs

-Things did not improve for him lmao, by the end of the first week he had already ripped out a good chunk of his hair because of you

-“MC, you should know by now provoking demons like this for no good reason is only going to make life harder for you. Keep this up and you’ll get killed in no time because of your behaviour.”

-“Great, can we have a hip-hip and a hurray?”

-In the span of one day, he’s had to come to your rescue six times (approximately) because you’re too nonchalant about your surroundings around literal creatures of hell

-He doesn’t have enough coffee or will to live for this bs

-“Lucifer, I found this dead plant and brought it here because it reminded me of you.”

-“…..sigh. Why? Why does it remind you of me?”

-“Because it’s cold and unresponsive.”

-He made the consecutive decision to ignore you

-(low-key kept the plant tho)

-Honestly, you get on his nerves a lot and he has definitely contemplated killing you in the past but at the end of the day he really can’t bring himself to do it

-We both know he tried a few times lmfao

-“I will tear you limb from limb, human-“

-“Can I finish my tea first.”

-“You…wait, what?”

-“You’re crazy if you think I’m letting this tea get cold. Try to kill time before I’m done and I’ll smash this cup against your head.”

-If you try hard enough, you might even elicit a laugh out of him, especially if your shadiness is directed at any of his brother which results in him patting your head affectionately

-Nowadays he’s just concerned because you seemed to have made an alliance of sorts with Belphagour and Satan and that’s not a good sign

-For his sake, if not yours, at least try to survive the year without getting chomped on by a random demon please

-He’s too stubborn to let you die just because you’re unbothered by everything so cut him some slack and help out damn it

Mammon:

-“Oi Lucifer, how come I’m stuck babysittin’ this stupid human?”

-“And how come I’m stuck with this asshole for a tour guide, with his fake ass designer shoes and no brand sunglasses. That’s a lot of smack talk from someone with crow shit stains covering the back of his jacket. Also, did you stick your hair in a bucket of mayonnaise?”

-……..

-He was so offended lol

-Normally, humans like you cower in fear whenever demons are as much as mentioned because of the whole “I can eat you whole” thing

-And here you are; insulting the Avatar of Greed and one of the princes of Hell himself just because you didn’t like his attitude

-Don’t worry tho, he warms up to you in less than a fucking month simply because you still come to his rescue whenever his brothers start insulting him and wow, look at that, his heart is now combusting on the floor

-“Y’all have no right to criticise Mammon when he has the most self control out of all of you.”

-“Since when does Mammon have any self control? He can’t keep himself from nicking anything that looks shiny.”

-“Motherfucker, I don’t see him trying to choke me to death, respectfully pls shut the fuck up. I don’t want to say I have favourites but if I do, it’s definitely him.”

-While Mammon’s in the background, with hearts instead of pupils in his eyes like ❤️👄❤️

-He doesn’t even mind running around after you anymore (will still complain about it though because your ass is in constant danger and he’s had enough)

-Honestly, you keep starting shit with random demons, some of which are quite powerful mind you, and you don’t back down even when he’s there to step in

-Would low key love to watch you fight one of your classmates at RAD and organise a ticket selling booth for the event but Lucifer will hang him a new one if he does

-So for now, he sticks to baring his teeth at the aggravator in question and you’re there, giving the same demon the middle finger

-The way you sometimes match his energy gets him so hyped up lmao

-“Mammon, did you steal Levi’s money again?”

-“T’s none of her business human. Now go away, shoo!”

-“Bitch, don’t ‘shoo’ me, I ain’t a bird. Now tell me, did you?”

-“…..Why do you ask?”

-“Because a new flavour of instant noodles just got announced, called ‘Super Hell-Sauce Flavour’ and I thought you might be more interested in that than wasting the money on gambling.”

-“….ok but only if you come with me to buy some.”

-This…this is true love right here

Levi:

-Oh no, now there’s two of you

-Why do I feel like his energy would match MC’s almost immediately? Maybe it’s because he spends too much time in his room on the internet like the rest of us do

-“What do you want, you stupid normie?”

-“300…..”

-“….300 what?”

-“300 mangas collected, thousands of episodes of anime watched, over 60 character figurines, plushies, body pillows, merchandise and several posters only to be called a fucking normie by a demon weeb that’s only known me for 10 minutes.”

-Boom, instant friendship

-He becomes attached to you almost immediately and now that he knows how unphased you are by DevilDom, he is seriously worried

-Hell, you’re making him consider going outside his room just to make sure you’re alive and not dead in a ditch somewhere because you decided to get on someone’s nerves that particular day

-Even during the quiz thing, when he almost kills you, you’re just sitting on the floor and awkwardly watching him as he throws a sissy fit

-Levi feels sort of conflicted with you because one one hand you’re good company and he loves having you around, you’re his Henry after all

-But on the other hand, you put yourself in so much danger it makes him paranoid so often to the point where he wants to keep you locked in his room and wrapped in bubble wrap

-Nearly had a heart attack when you almost walked right into a pit of lava like MC???? This isn’t one of his video games???? You’re not gonna respawn if you die????

-Besides all that, he gets a bit jealous of you confidence and your ability to just do whatever without fearing death or consequence

-“MC, how do you do it?”

-“Do what?”

-“How do you go about your life without a care in the world?”

-“I guess I’ll tell you my secret Levi. I’m not like other humans that’s why, I’m just so unique I do things differently.”

-“You sound like a pick me-“

-As long as you’re OK and not injured because of your carelessness, he’s indifferent about your behaviour and will even applaud you for your bravery when it comes to this sort of thing

-“lmao the human exchange student just dumped Solomon’s cooking in the trash while looking him dead in the eye 💀💀💀”

Satan:

-Your attitude towards DevilDom and demons in general kept him entertained, if nothing else

-You rarely seemed to consider how much of a threat that place really is and usually you were just running around, completely ignoring Lucifer’s rules and doing your own thing

-Which, you know, he’s all about

-I can’t say there were no incidents between the two of you

-With his short temper and your tendency to say things without caring about the consequences, there were definitely moments when he might’ve snapped on you

-“MC for goodness sake, what happened to my room?”

-“What do you mean?”

-“It’s an absolute mess! I just told you to bring me my spells and curses book, not mow through everything!”

-“It’s not my fault this place is built like a fucking labyrinth. You should be grateful I went to get it for you at all, I almost tripped and died several times on my way back. Also, you should get a new ladder for your shelves. It did the broken.”

-“MC….”

-“Yes?”

-“You are so lucky I love you.”

-Other than the fact his anger takes over him when things like these happen, he not so subtly encourages you to keep going because seeing Lucifer scowl at your antics gets him wheezing his lungs out

-I like to think Satan would be very impressed, even in the beginning, at the amount of nonchalance you can radiate at times

-I mean, you sure as hell don’t see it often and he loves how unpredictable you are more often than not

-If anything, he should probably thank you-idk how, but his patience has increased significantly every since you got here and he appreciates having some more control of his emotions

-“I’m gonna go put oil in Lucifer’s shoes.”

-“Do you have a death wish?”

-“Satan, I am old enough to make my own decisions and I concluded that this action is necessary.”

-“Necessary for what?”

-“Raising everyone’s morale! All of you seemed to feel down lately so I thought this would be fun for everybody!”

-“Except Lucifer, right?”

-“Except Lucifer. He grounded me from my D.D.D like I’m a fucking teenager who needs to be supervised-pssshht, I’m the most responsible one here.”

-“Yes clearly.”

-“Goodbye dear Satan, I may die today. But it’s for the greater good! (Dramatic exit with sound effects)”

-“WAIT MC!”

-“(pops head back in) yes?”

-“May I offer you my assistance?”

-You’re basically taking turns pranking his brothers and it’s hilarious

-Satan is not too worried about your well being simply because he knows his siblings and him are always going to be nearby to save you if you pull something stupid again

-Even so, he checks up on you throughout the day; just to make sure

-“Where were you?”

-“Running from a bunch of demons. Who wanted to go munchy crunchy on me, I assume.”

-“……”

-“Either that or people here are a lot friendlier than originally expected.”

-You can be such a handful and it really tests him, especially when he’s angry enough to begin with

-But despite your amazing talent at either getting completely lost around Hell, purposely walking into a prohibited place just because you felt like it or riling up others with how blunt you are, he still cares about you deeply

-You may be a pain the ass, but you’re his pain in the ass <3

Asmo:

-He should’ve known something was up with this particular human when you stood there, completely calm and collected, while Beel salivated at the thought of eating you on your first day

-Asmo just brushed it off for a while but it kept happening???

-The first time Lucifer ever told you off, you really went and said “Or what? Are you going to eat me? If so, you can go ahead and start with-“

-He came to your rescue and covered your mouth before you got to finish and before Lucifer unleashed his wrath on to everyone in that house

-“OOPSIE! I think MC has been spending too much time with me. Sorry Lucifer, we gotta run now! We have a party to attend, don’t we MC darling?”

-“You mean the one hosted by the guy that tried to kill me because I shoved into him on the hallway at school and then proceeded to tell him to go fuck himself right back into whatever hell hole he was born in before you came and charmed our way out of it?”

-“Yes.”

-“Ah OK. “

-You’re tiring for sure but you’re not exactly unlikeable

-You have a certain charm hanging about you that Asmo loves

-“I almost died like…30 minutes ago.”

-“WAIT WHAT?? WHY?? WHAT HAPPENED-MC ARE YOU OK???”

-“Yeah, I almost drank some poison today because someone told me it was water. It smelt off though so I didn’t.”

-“….”

-“Anyway, I got you this bracelet on my way home.”

-He really does wish you would take things a bit more seriously

-This is your life on the line, you know? What would he do if you died?

-“MC, you’re not immortal, you can die so much more easily than I can, you know that right???”

-“I don’t care.”

-“Well I do! And you should too….”

-A lot of people don’t see past his vanity tbh, because he can be such a caring person towards the people he loves

-The amount of videos he has of you appearing to be completely calm while pure chaos is descending in the background is pretty impressive

-Every time he uses his charm on you to try and get you to commit his sin, it just doesn’t work???? For some reason???? And even if it’s just with simple, innocent affection for now, he is determined to tempt you into it

-“MC~gimme a hug!”

-“But that’s social interaction and I don’t support it- do you have a charger for my D.D.D by any chance?

-Or at least die trying to ig

-Asmo loves having you around but you’re giving him wrinkles and that’s not okay >:(

Beel:

-The moment he realised how carefree you actually were, he sort of started checking up with you quite frequently throughout the day

-It’s his way of protecting you but if he could, he would follow you around all the time

-Becomes your body guard because you may not care enough about your safety but he certainly does so get ready to be carried everywhere

-You will not get hurt nor will anyone mess with you if he has a say in it and let me tell you, he does

-Thing is, his brothers mostly know him for being slightly dense in some aspects of day to day life

-He’s not perceptive of things that don’t involve food or his loved ones

-And because you most definitely are a loved one of his, he does notice how careless you are really often

-And it scares, rather worries, him because DevilDom is an incredibly dangerous place-even with all the precautions they had taken when you came

-“MC get down, you could fall.”

-“But Beel, look-I’m finally taller than everyone else! Taller than you even! Hey, should I do a backflip?”

-He has no idea why you thought jumping from 60 meter high cliff into a small river of squashed demon blood was a good idea but he wasn’t going to risk anything just because you felt like showing off your diving skills

-Proceeds to carry you away, completely unfazed

-In this case, I feel like Beel is not someone who gets bothered by the horrible things happening around there either

-As long as he has food and his family is safe and happy then he’s also happy, as mentioned above

-But he knows he’s alright with DevilDom because he’s been living here for centuries now

-A bit curious as to why you’re so unbothered

-And even more curious as to why you weren’t terrified of him transforming in his demon form after he lost control when he found out you ate his pudding

-Or more like Mammon did and pushed the blame on you

-“YOU. ATE. MY. PUDDING!”

-“Beel I love you but if you did not just see Mammon shoving the damn container in my mouth two seconds prior to this, then you might need glasses.”

-He apologised to you later for it but even so, you didn’t seem to mind like at all and he didn’t really understand why

-Unless you end up explaining why exactly you feel so indifferent about your life being in potential danger, he won’t really pry

-But now he has even more reason to follow you around like a lost puppy

-Since it’s clear you don’t really care about protecting yourself

-So now it’s his job to do it

-MC protection squad? Mostly Beel and Mammon

-ahhh he cute

Belphie:

-Oh

-You piss him off so much

-He’s trying to have his moment, you know?

-Finally getting that glimmer of satisfaction after killing a human as a way to avenge his sister’s death

-Trying his hardest to make it as miserable as possible because he has so much rage in him, he needs you to suffer

-“Harder Daddy-“

-“Oh fuck off.”

-Nah but for real, what the fuck MC

-Why does he even bother, he feels like he should be sleeping instead of dealing with your bullshit

-Even afterwards, when your future self shows up and he tries to kill you again, you look more thoughtful than irritated???

-Lucifer and Beel are literally holding him back from doing another Chocky on you and you’re standing there, looking at him with your eyebrows raised

-“Hey Belphie, I have a quick question. I know you’re trying to kill me and everything but do you like the colour blue?”

-“HUH??!?!”

-“It’s a simple yes or no question Belphie. Do. You. Like. Blue?”

-“WHAT DOES IT MATTER???!!!”

-“BELPHAGOUR, AVATAR OF SLOTH-YES OR NO, JUST FUCKING ANSWER!”

-“YES! FUCK YOU!”

-“Ah ok thanks. I like blue too :)”

-????????????

-Pls he felt like sticking his foot down your throat

-As of late, he’s kind of glad he didn’t manage to scare you away that day and that he didn’t traumatise you or something

-At the time, he was mad because he didn’t understand why you weren’t scared but now he just wants to make it up to you

-“You didn’t deserve any of that. I’m sorry MC, I won’t blame you if you decide to stay away from me now.”

-“Stfu dipshit, what’s gotten you so depressed? Did you have another fight with Beel? I told you not to eat the last slice of cake.”

-“Rude ass, I was trying to apologise for my past mistakes-let me repent will you?”

-“Said no demon ever. Now let’s go hang out you emo bitch.”

-Y’all vibe together on a spiritual level once that shit gets sorted out

-But he’s kinda scared you might pull out a knife on him ngl

-Obviously, you’re still annoying as fuck with that indifferent attitude of yours but he can live with it

-He appreciates the fact that you’re not scared of him, even after what he’s done

Diavolo:

-Ah yes, the future King of DevilDom himself

-He’s very enthusiastic about the idea of you having fun this year…..and to keep you alive….

-He, of course, expected a range of reactions from you when he first summoned you here

-None of which were “Ok but could you not have given me a heads up? Before the whole teleportation thing? I face-planted your onto marvellously polished the floor and now I think I lost even more brain cells than before.”

-He felt so bad gagajajahahwgehhsb

-He apologised for bringing you out here without any warning like that and then proceeded to introduce you to everyone

-Diavolo is actually kind of relieved to see you’re handling everything pretty well

-He thought that maybe DevilDom was too much for a human to deal with

-Meeting Barbatos also went incredibly smooth

-“Barbatos? The one that cleans the floors right? Big fan of your work, I could eat off the floor of the main hall.”

-He’s so glad to see you getting along with everyone and not getting intimidated by the brothers

-It gets him excited thinking about how the exchange program is gonna work and all three realms will be united

-But he’s not stupid so don’t think he’ll allow you to stumble around, getting up to all sorts of mischief

-He always has someone watching you because he would hate to see you die, despite being pretty fond of your carefree attitude

-“MC, please be careful. Most demons here aren’t all that nice.”

-“Aye aye Captain.”

-He fears that many demons would take your indifference as a challenge and try to assert dominance or something by kidnapping you

-As far as creatures of hell go, they love installing fear in people

-So he always keeps an extra eye open for you

-And he’ll be there to help you if something goes wrong

-But other than that, he’s pretty chill as well and he finds you so hilarious, it’s been a while since he’s seen someone as eccentric and dramatic as Mammon and Asmo

-Idk what else to add here, Diavolo is very accepting and as long as you don’t get hurt, he’s glad you can get used to your new surroundings so easily

Opinion #27

I wouldn't want Swan Song as the show's ending, but I think the parallels between Swan Song and the finale are really remarkable. Dean wasn't letting go of Sam any more than Sam was letting go of Dean in the finale. I know they were talking about Sam having to make his own decisions and Dean not being to tell him what to do but I also think it took everything Dean had in him to not try to convince Sam not to do it. He had been lying to Death when he told him Sam would jump. We know he had been scared of losing him.

It is similar to Dean trying to blow up Amara at the end of season 11. Would the other brother let the world burn for the one that is doing the sacrificing? 100% yes. Would the brother doing the sacrificing let the world burn to stay with the other brother? If they did what Sam did in season 14 maybe. In season 8 and season 14 we see that they can manage to get the other brother to stop something that could potentially save the world.

But I also think if it's as big as the apocalypse or the sun dying the other wouldn't because while it goes against everything in them Sam and Dean are heroes so while they let the other brother sacrifice themselves they also 100% (except in the finale because Dean asked Sam not to bring him) have every intention of bringing each other back. (This does not include season 8. I personally believe Sam thought Dean was in Heaven and that's why he didn't try anything and decided to hold on to Amelia instead.)

We don't know for sure what Sam would have done if Dean had actually died in season 11 but I'm sure he would have tried everything in his power and then reckless hunt or normal life like he did in season 8 and in the finale. Dean went to Lisa because of his promise to Sam but I also think he had every intention of getting Sam back. He even said he collected 100s of books. He probably would have never stopped. Especially if he had gotten sucked back into hunting he most likely would have found a way to bring Sam back, died on a hunt, or died from alcohol like Jensen said about a reverse finale.

When Dean said, "You've always been stronger than me." He most likely meant that he knew Sam could not move on, no but continue to live if that's what Dean wanted for him. It's not that Sam loves him any less than Dean loves him it's just that it's expressed a bit differently. I don't know how much longer Dean would have lasted with Lisa and Ben it probably wouldn't have been the 40 years give or take that Sam lived. I like the parallels between them both making a promise to live an apple pie life, and the parallels to how wrecked they were after they died. They weren't fully functioning; either of them. They lose a part of themselves every time their brother dies.

(If anyone knows of any gen fic recs that explore what it was like for Dean after Sam jumped please let me know. Also, thank you to anyone who has given me fic recs before. I really appreciate them. If anyone wants any gencest fic recs and I have the topic I will be more than happy to rec them to you.)

Also, feel free to add if you have something you want to expand on.

Shhh He’s Sleeping

Summary: Shinso and you have been longtime friends, you’re convinced the boy doesn’t sleep so when he falls asleep while the two of you are hanging out, who are you to wake him.

Pairing: Hitoshi Shinso x Reader

Word Count: 790

Warnings: None

Shinso lounged back in your desk chair, flipping the page in the textbook he's reading. School finished a couple of hours ago but Shinso is still stuck doing homework so he's sat at your desk working while you in question are sitting on the beanbag chair, controller in hand, eyes focused on the video game in front of you. Y/N, being in the hero course, finished their homework before Shinso, them having less to do than the Gen Ed course. Reading the final paragraph Shinso sighs lightly. Closing the textbook he rubs his face, leaning back slightly. Glancing over to his friend, the person he grew up beside and has slowly started to develop feelings for. The feelings aren't new to Shinso when the pair were kids he had a crush on you which disappeared as the two of you grew apart as you got older. But now since starting U.A, being at the same school for the first time, you've begun to spend more time together, becoming friends once again. Looking back to the desk he still has a little bit of work left to do but he can always do that later, he needs a break. Getting up from your chair he decides to do something maybe a little reckless. Walking up to you he takes a seat behind you on the beanbag chair, legs on either side of your body, his arms wrapping around your waist, his chin on your shoulder. You freezes for a moment, not expecting this from him, but you quickly relax into his arms, leaning back against his chest.

"Finished your homework?" You ask, voice a little low.

"Almost, got a bit left to do but I need a break," Shinso says, his voice also a little quieter than normal.

"Understandable," You hum before focusing back in on the video games. Shinso watches you play, occasionally glancing over to look at your face. Being this close to you he's enveloped in your scent; lavender and sea salt. It's calming and refreshing. Slowly Shinso feels himself start to drift off and before he knows it he's fast asleep, forehead resting on your shoulder. Feeling his arms tighten around your body you glance over at him, noticing that he's fallen asleep. Feeling a small smile creep onto your face you decide not to wake the boy up, with how tired he always looks you don’t know how much or if he gets any sleep.

A few minutes later you hear your door open, turning to check who it is you see Mina stop in her tracks. Mina's eyes flick from Shinso to you then back to Shinso. "Umm hold up.... what the fuck is going on here?"

You hush Mina, speaking in a whisper, "Shhh he's sleeping. I don't want to wake him."

"Uh he should be sleeping in his own room!" Mina whispers back, motioning to the boy.

"We were hanging out and he fell asleep, what's the big deal, Mina?" You ask.

"This looks like a little more than hanging out," Mina places a hand on her hip, giving you a look.

"We are just hanging out!" You argue.

"Mhm," Mina hums. "I'm watching you," She makes the motion with her hands before backing out of your room.

You sigh, shaking your head lightly before turning back to your game. You doesn't get why Mina is overreacting like that, you’ve sat like this with Kaminari before, as well as the girl herself. So what's the big deal?

After an hour or so Shinso wakes up, drowsily looking around. Realizing that he fell asleep he quickly apologizes. You assure him that it's okay, you don’t mind, and plus he needs to sleep more and if he does that sleeping on you well then so be it. You ask if he wants to play, to which Shinso replies with a simple sure before taking the controller from your hands, resting his chin on your shoulder again. Playing a few rounds by himself Shinso suggests something, "Play with me?"

Thinking for a moment you agree, "Okay, let me just grab another controller." Leaning forward towards the tv stand to pick up one of the extra ones. Shinso's hands going to rest on your hips as you do so. Resting back against his chest, controller in hand, they play a few rounds together. A small smile creeping onto Shinso's face.

....

Feeling your phone vibrate you pick it up and look at the text.

mina-chan: so has he left yet?

You type a reply, *yes, he just went back to his dorm*. And not even ten seconds after the text sent Mina kicks in your door causing you to jump.

"YOU GOT SOME MCFUCKING EXPLAINING TO DO!"

FAIRY TAIL NEXT GEN CHILDREN-NALU EDITION

DISCLAIMER:

1-I know there is now a cannon child for edo Nalu and edo Gruvia with names and everything. I also know that Gajeel and Levy have twins and Levy is currently pregnant in 100 Years Quest. I love it and their names and everything about those precious babies-but I’ve had these ideas and characters and backstories growing and developing in my head for years so I’m being the stubborn Taurus that I am and sticking with it.

-Also please forgive any misspellings and grammar mistakes as I am dyslexic and my school failed us at teaching spelling and grammar. I did my best.

Hello my lovelies! I am back with the Fairy Tail post and starting with a bang!

I’m working on my next gen story and am determined to make it work this time... so I’m making very detailed profiles for my OC’s that are going to show up and it was so much fun I thought I’d share them with you!

Because of how unwieldly the document was getting I’m going to break it up by pairing staring with Nalu!!!

God I love them...

RANDOM FACTS:

-After the less than stable childhoods the members of the guild had, when they started to have children, they decided to give them as normal a life as possible.

That means the following:

-Many of those who have kids choose to stop taking the longer and dangerous jobs-or at least don’t do nearly as many of them. This is so they can be there for their children and not reduce the risk of not coming home. That doesn’t mean there still aren’t adventures and that these dangerous missions don’t happen, but many of them are weary of the risk. Except for Natsu and Erza… they are always the exception.

-Naturally, the kids are members of the guild from the moment of their conception. However since they live much more stable lives and don’t need to work and take on jobs as children they don’t become official guilds until 13.

-Most of them start taking on summer jobs or small jobs during the school year with their parents starting then and as they get older-like with in a year or two-they start going on solo jobs.

-And yes I said school year because they make their children go to school like normal kids and get the education that most of them never got. (Please note if I mention anything in particular about school or schooling system it is going to be heavily based on the American school system as I went through that system and somehow came out the other side, so that’s what I’m familiar with)

-All of the children suffer from the same illness the Ultear did as child to varying degrees of severity because of how strong their parents. I say varying degrees of severity because some were able to handle it better than others, but none actually died (obviously

THE DRAGNEELS: (NATSU X LUCY)

Lila Dragneel:

Birthday: January 17th, 797

Magic type: Fifth Generation Fire Dragon Slayer; a dragon slayer who was taught and trained by first or second generation dragon slayers

Appearance:

-Height: 5’4 (about the same as Lucy)

-Hair color: Strawberry blonde-or more specifically Lucy’s blonde mixed with Natus’s pink

-Eyes: Exact carbon copy of Natsu’s-large and black.

-Has Natsu’s smile and more of athletic build but she is still uh… gifted

-Otherwise is Lucy’s clone

IMPORTANT FACTS:

-She got the name the name Lila because it’s close to Layla, and for whatever reason I like to think Layla would have liked Lilacs so it’s from the flower too.

-She fell victim to the same illness Ultear did. Because she’s been so strong from the beginning, she handled it relatively smoothly.

-She’s known for her physical strength

Personality:

-Warm and bubbly

-A little whiny

-Loyal to a fault

-Stubborn

-Blunt like her father

-Very childlike and innocent like her father

-Very intelligent like her mother, but can be naïve and dense like Natsu

-She loves books and reading like her mother but is no writer.

-Unlike her father she is not the type to go out and seek fights… However… as Marie from the Aristicats said;

-She was always a good student-particularly excelling in Literature and languages and anything physical (AKA she dominates PE and dodge ball is terrifying with her)

-Though not one to start a fight she does have a tempter and has gotten a number of detentions and at least one suspension for her reckless and destructive tendencies.

-Though if you ask her it’s never her fault because someone kept bugging her until she snapped and they deserved it.

Relationships:

-Extremely close with her mother

-Super close with her father and just seems to click with him more than Lucy. She’s a bit of daddy’s girl and will proudly admit it.

-Also close with her brother. They get along but he more than anyone else can push her buttons. They can fight and because they are Natus’s children it gets physical fast. But they’re still close and love each other.

-Her best friends include: Hazel Redfox and Eliza Fullbuster.

-And Happy. Always Happy

-She tried to be friends with the older and therefore seemingly cooler Aurora Dryer but stopped said friendship after a nasty incident with Aurora and little Eliza.

-Her closest friend is Nick Fullbuster.

-They have somewhat of banter like Natsu and Gray in the sense they’re competitive with each other

An example of a banter:

“Spicy pink head!”

“Ice fairy princess!”

“Destructor!”

“Stripper!”

“Whiny pants!!”

“Pretty Boy!”

“Oh so you think I’m pretty huh?”

“SHUT UP!!”

It’s all-in good fun though.

-It’s also obvious that especially as they get older there is a HEAVY amount of romantic/sexual tension in this banter.

-Everyone but Lila is aware of this. It doesn’t become clear to her until it more less it’s her in the face.

Jude Ingeel Drangeel- Nickname Iggy

Birthday: September 3rd, 802

Magic type: Celestial Magic.

Appearance:

-Height-5’7 (same height as Natsu)

-Hair: Spikey like his Natsu’s but blonde like Lucy’s

-Eyes: Natsu’s Eye Shape and Lucy’s color

-Same build as his father

-More or less a clone of his father with a few differences

-IMPORTANT FACTS

-His name is Jude Ingeel because both Natsu and Lucy agreed that Ingeel Drangeel was a little too much.

-He’s named after both grandfathers, because even though Jude Heartfillia was an ass hat to Lucy they left each other on a positive note and I like to think had she been able to she would have reconciled with him.

-He got the nick name Iggy because his sister thought Jude was stupid and boring and just started calling him Iggy and it stuck.

-Also known for his physical strength

-Also got the same illness Ultear had and like his sister got through it with relative ease

Personality:

-Loud

-Boisterous

-Loyal to a fault

-Protective to a fault

-Scary energetic

-Extremely warm and kind

-Stubborn

-Blunt

-Loves reading and writes like his mother.

-More willing to start a fight than sister, not as bad as his father. He knows there’s a time and place… most of the time

-Most of the fights he starts are with his older sister and Eliza (the later being with words)

-Extremely intelligent and not as dense and naïve as his father or sister.

-He only did okay in school because he was bored most of the time and just didn’t really try... he was also a familiar face at detention.

-He excelled at anything physical (again dodge ball is terrifying with this kid), anything involving writing and oddly music. No one knows where on earth he got it from.

Relationships

-He considers everyone in Fairy Tail his friend

-Very close with his mother, has been called a mama’s boy on occasion but swears he’s not

( *cough cough* he is *cough cough*)

-Considers his father one his best friends

-Close with his sister but he does enjoy pushing her button a little too much which causes a lot of arguments that more than not escalate into physical fights.

-He also likes just tossing her over his shoulder to piss her off and because he can.

-He’s friends with Nick Fullbuster and Simon Scarlet by association but… they’re more like the annoying older brother’s he never asked for.

-His best friend in the whole world (besides his father and Happy) is Eliza… though their relationships can take on more of the trappings of the rivalry of their parents. It doesn’t turn physical because he knows better and doesn’t want to turn into a human popsicle, but it’s a little more heated than Nick and Lila.

-Everything jokes they’re going to end up together like they’re older siblings and to that Iggy said;

“Listen I love Eliza, she’s like my sister. Heck I like her more than my sister sometimes! But I would never, ever, ever never ever ever ever ever… EVER date her.”

-He then proceeded to get blasted into oblivion by a jet of water

-He does however have a bit of a crush on Rose Scarlet.

And there you have it! Hope you like it! Next up is my personal favorite and OTP-Gruvia!!

#fairy tail #fairy tail next generation #natsu dragneel #lucy heartfilia #natsu x lucy #Nalu #Headcanon #ocs #super long #this is gonna take forever #god help me

Krenko’s Guide to Pokemon: Tyrogue Line ( Hitmon- )

POKEMON SHOULD NOT WEAR PANTS.

DESIGN:

I’m fine with how humanlike this looks. I’m fine with the bands on his wrists that look like bandages, and around his waist, but he’s clearly wearing shorts and shoes. I’d much rather a design that gave the illusion of shorts and shoes, like making his hip-section very furry and giving him hooves like a satyr.�� I accept the simple appearance in the early games, but it could really have used a redesign at some point.

I do love the way the side of its head looks like it’s wearing protection over its ears. Tyrogue is very clearly some kid ready to wrestle in school, and I’m totally on board with that... but actual clothes are wrong.

My other issue with Tyrogue is that it’s a male-only line without a female equivalent. See, female-only lines make sense because of how Pokemon breeding works. Sure, there’s no male Chansey, but that’s because every male Clefable, Wigglytuff, and Grimmsnarl is lining up to fertilize that egg. But with Tyrogue, there’s... nowhere for Tyrogues to come from other than Dittos.

Now, this may explain the relative scarcity of the Tyrogue, and maybe they are all the result of dittos, but it’s really weird to me if that’s the case. You’d think by now we could have a female Pokemon that could lay Tyrogue eggs the way Illumise can lay Volbeat eggs.

Now, Tyrogue has three evolved forms, and the first numerically is Hitmonlee. Hitmonlee is made of kicking, and its body really shows that. It doesn’t wear clothes, it doesn’t have a head, and those leg bands stretch for super kicks. Now, I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this thing in various mythologies, the headless man with a face on its chest, but Hitmonlee’s just got eyes. It’s a pretty simple design when you think about it, but it’s cool and striking and looks like a monster that fights like a man but better.

Hitmonchan has boxing gloves, a skirt, and booties. Look, I’ll get on a lot of Pokemon’s case for being too humanoid or whatever, but HItmonchan is seriously just some dude. His shoulder pads don’t even look like part of him, they look like he’s wearing them. I can’t even begin to imagine what a Hitmonchan might be that it just looks like that in nature. Its Pokedex entry mentions it has the “spirit of a pro boxer” and while that seems metaphorical, but when you see entries like “A Hitmonchan is said to possess the spirit of a boxer who aimed to become the world champion” you have to wonder if this is one of those supernatural things like how so many Ghost pokemon are actually dead humans.

Hitmonchan is an interesting design for a creature in a video game, but it’s not a good design for a creature in a world, which is what Pokemon need to be. I just can’t accept that your Tyrogue grew up into this without you buying gloves and booties for it.

Hitmontop mostly fixes the issue of inexplicable clothes. Yes, it looks like it’s wearing some sort of V-Neck leotard like a professional fighter might, but as it doesn’t pop off the Hitmontop’s body in any way, it could just be blue fur which is pretty normal in the Pokemon setting.

I don’t particularly like Hitmontop’s design overall- I think it looks too toylike, and much less badass than Hitmonchan or Hitmonlee. It feels like something you could just avoid by taking a step to the side. But unlike Hitmonchan, nothing in its design actively offends my sensibilities. It just feels more like a middle form than a final form.

Art by MajMajor

EVOLUTIONS:

I mostly love the design of this evolutionary line. While HItmonchan and Hitmonlee were introduced in gen 1 as a matched set, Tyrogue and Hitmontop came in generation 2. Tyrogue is the best use of a Baby Pokemon, adding a pre-evolution to turn two previously unattached Pokemon into a branching path. They haven’t done that again since, even though there’s multiple paired lines that could really use it (most notably Tauros/Miltank and Cubone/Kangaskhan.) Also, Tyrogue evolves at level 20, but what determines its form isn’t some weird item or what time it is, but simply how its stats fall out. This means that to a novice it’ll seem random which one you get, but a skilled trainer can ensure Hitmonchan or HItmonlee (and a more skilled trainer can ensure Hitmontop.)

Also, with base stats of 455 each, Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee are much more deserving of getting a Baby Pokemon than things like Pichu and Jigglypuff, whose baby forms don’t do anything for gameplay but get in the way.

Art by IDunnoLawl

TYPING:

Unlike most Pokemon with multiple forms, all three of Tyrogue’s evolutions are pure FIghting type. Fighting is pretty evenly balanced offensively and defensively, and is notably super-effective against Normal and Steel types. The lack of a second type really hurts, though. Fighting is bad against six types, and that’s not something you want to see on all your STAB attacks.

STATS:

All three Hitmons are physical attackers with 50 HP and 110 Special Defense, but the rest of their stats vary. Hitmonlee has a mere 53 defense, making it the most fragile of the three, but its 120 Attack and its 87 speed make it the fastest and most damaging. Hitmonchan has a lower attack and lower speed, but higher defense, and Hitmontop has the lowest attack and speed of all three, but a 95 defense which actually compensates for its low HP.

None of these stat arrays are particularly impressive, but they all have solid attack stats, and their high special defense means their low HP is only a problem when confronted with physical attackers. Speeds for all three are about average.

ABILITIES:

Interestingly enough, Tyrogue’s abilities are different than all three of its evolutions... but Tyrogue’s incredibly weak so there’s no reason to talk about building it.

Hitmonchan has Keen Eye (prevents accuracy loss) and Inner Focus (prevents Flinching and Intimidate) but what sells it as a Pokemon is Iron Fist, an ability that increases its punch damage by 20%. It’s not Earth shattering, but 20% on attacks is a very solid boost and Hitmonchan learns a lot of punches.

Hitmonlee can get Limber to prevent Paralysis, but nobody cares. Its other options are much better. Reckless adds 20% damage to any move with Recoil or a Crash chance. Unfortunately, Hitmonlee only has one of these. Fortunately, it’s Hitmonlee’s signature attack, High Jump Kick. Hitmonlee’s other ability takes a bit more work to use, but is even better in competetive battles. Unburden doubles Hitmonlee’s speed if its held item is lost or used. While berries are an option, a White Herb can be forced with Close Combat, turning Hitmonlee into a potent sweeper as long as it survives that first attack.

Hitmontop has the basically useless Steadfast (increase Speed when flinching), but has the ever-powerful Intimidate, as well as Technician. With Hitmontop already being the most defensive of the three, Intimidate just makes it a bit more survivable by lowering enemy attacks. Technician increases the damage of any moves with a base damage of 60 or lower, and Hitmontop has a variety of attacks that can take advantage of this. Most notably among these is Triple Axel, a three-hit move with an increasing power of 20, 40, and 60. With Technician, these hits become 30, 60, and 90 for a total of 180 power, albeit with problematic accuracy.

MOVES:

Despite all three being physical attackers, all three use different Fighting type moves. Hitmonlee gets its signature High Jump Kick with Reckless, or can use Close Combat + White Herb with Unburden. Hitmonchan uses Drain Punch. Iron Fist bumps its attack to an effective 90, and the healing increases proportionately. Hitmontop, unfortunately, doesn’t have any great options, so Close Combat is generally the way to go. Revenge is an option with its slower speed and Technician fixing its ‘failure state,’ but unfortunately Revenge and Technician don’t stack if Revenge activates.

Coverage comes next. Fighting type is resisted by Bug, Fairy, Flying, Poison, and Psychic, and Ghosts are outright immune. Hitmontop’s Triple Axel is going to work just fine against all of those, even without Technician.

Hitmonlee has a decent lineup of options- Blaze Kick, Earthquake, Stone Edge, Poison Jab, Knock Off- but which you pick is really dependent on what you expect to face and what the rest of your team has coverage for. Earthquake’s the strongest, but it still doesn’t work against Flying or Bug types. Stone Edge covers them both, but is a much weaker move. Of course, Hitmonlee could take both.

Hitmonchan has great coverage options with Iron Fist enhanced elemental punches, plus the aforementioned Earthquake and Stone Edge, as well as Throat Chop. There’s no real right or wrong answer here, just be prepare for whatever you’re most worried about.

Tyrogue’s evolutions share a lot of utility moves. Rapid Spin, Mach Punch, and Bulk Up can be useful on any of them. For each of the three, I’d suggest a build of a fighting move, an off-type move for coverage, Rapid Spin for Rapid Spinning, and then whatever feels right to you of Bulk Up, Mach Punch, or another coverage move.

OVERALL:

Despite the three Pokemon here being very similar, they each have abilities and stat differences that give them different niches, with Hitmonchan’s being the best defined. I do wish Hitmonlee got more than one attack that worked with Reckless and Hitmontop’s signature attack were stronger (triple kick still only ends up at 90 power with Technician), but overall they’re not too bad, just a bit on the fragile side. A 10 or 20 point boost to each of their HP stats would make me feel a lot better, and small stat boosts between gens is something Pokemon occasionally does.

Hitmonchan and Tyrogue wearing clothes is really dumb, though, as are the ecological issues of a species that can’t reproduce without the help of a DItto.

In the future, I’d like to see a trio of regional forms for them, granting each a second element, but different from each other. Bonus points if the alternate Hitmonchan has Protean for his elemental punches. That’d be a cool Pokemon.

Letters

Day 5 Loneliness, gen, game inspired, 579 words

Summary: Before he got close with Jaskier and Yen, Geralt never received any letters.

@geraltwhumpweek

...

Geralt never received any letters. Of course, they had letters sent to Kaer Morhen every year when it was still running and full of life. A bunch of those were collected from the nearby villages in autumn to learn how well everyone was doing, how much money was put, or taken from the common account. They had to know how many witchers will spend the winter there to get enough provision for everyone. Those letters also had the information about the dead that went into the lists. He wrote those as well, about the rumors, about the population of ekimmaras going down in the Kestrel mountains and about conflicts with Cats he had heard of. Those letters were boring and dull, and nothing like the stories he often found while fulfilling the contracts. That's why he kept those. The recipes mothers sent to their sons who left the home village to live in town. The love letters, full of promises and plans and dreams, foolish and reckless. The letters sent from friends to friends, that had jokes and drawings in them. Even the letters written by assassins and rogues. He kept them in a box, stashing all of them in Kaer Morhen every year he traveled home. Once in a while, he went through them, reading and carefully folding back - more so as the castle died and there were less witchers left, just a handful to share tales of the Path with. Winter days were short, and winter was long. But the words, written by some people, usually dead people, kept him warm and wondering, what would it have been like if they had a place to write to. A place to stay, instead of traveling all year round. Would he also write? About how he almost died in one fight and mastered another? Some warnings about monster areas? Would others reply and tell him about their ups and downs, instead of remembering all in one go as they met in the Great hall?

That's why the very first time he goes through his bags upon returning, his heart beats too fast when he finds a folded parchment. When the parchment is not filled with his own notes. It's a letter. He cries, even though he only ever cried in childhood or when he was wounded so badly it was a normal reaction. He cries longer than he should, probably, and feels unexpected hope and joy.

"Dear friend," it says, "I know you most likely will throw this away, but I hope I hid it well enough in those terrible bags of yours. I swear, I will find you something better next year. Anyways, you know me, I love words and letters, and maybe you'll find this when you arrive at that dreadful castle you live in and where you don't want me to go. Now, before you'll rip it apart, there's a new ballad I'm working on on the next page. Please tell me what you think when we meet again come spring, I think I still won't be finished with it by then. Going back to our argument about the book you bought in..."

The letter went on and on, and it was for him, and it contained everything a letter should contain, as he's learned over the years. And it made him believe, that maybe there will be more. And that there still was time to make his own stack of letters, just as big as the one he already had.

#witcher #lonely geralt #so lonely #i found a letter with a recipe parents wrote to my stepdad #it was so sad #don't think i ever got any #maybe because i'm really good at cooking #anyways #this better make you sad #geraltwhumpweek #jeraskier #but in a friendly way #did i really write this

Protection (Good Omens)

Written for one of my guest reviewers on FF.net

There’s a difference between being immortal and being invincible. Crowley finds this out the hard way. But he has an angel to watch over him. (Gen)

Read on FF.net

Read on Ao3

~~~~~~~

Sometimes, bravery was vastly overrated.

This was Crowley’s first thought as he shoved the woman and her daughter out of the way before the building collapsed with a huge explosion of sound, and took Crowley with it.

He wasn’t even really sure what had happened at first, there was just sudden blackness, but the instant he began to come to was when he realized he was trapped, pinned beneath the rubble.

He tried to move, but the weight crushing his chest was making that impossible, not to mention that his arms and legs were also trapped.

“H-help,” he croaked, in a pitifully weak voice, a cough bursting from his throat, which he instantly wished hadn’t happened as the action caused unbelievable pain to lance through his chest.

“Crowley? Crowley, where are you?”

The familiar voice gave him a renewed burst of strength, and he tried to raise his voice. “’Z-‘Zira?” Cough“O…over…here.”

Even those few words were still more effort than he could truly manage at that moment, but thankfully the angel seemed to hear him because pounding footsteps sounded, crashing through the rubble.

“Oh, my dear boy,” Aziraphale gasped as he caught sight of him, falling to his knees next to his head. “Just hold on a moment and I’ll have you out of here.”

“H-hurry,” Crowley wheezed, cringing as every moment made the rubble feel like it was pressing him more and more firmly into the ground.

Aziraphale began to move as much of the rubble as he could, seeming to be using his angelic strength to toss it aside with abandon, heedless of his soft hands and clothing. Though his normally immaculate outfit was already covered in filth and sported several tears from the building’s collapse. Crowley suddenly thought wryly that it could be a miracle the angel hadn’t been caught as well.

But finally, Aziraphale reached him and lifted the final piece of debris from across his chest and Crowley took a deep breath.

And choked on blood.

He coughed, and blood spattered his lips as he brought his hands up shakily to clutch at his chest, pain ripping through him.

“Crowley!” Aziraphale was kneeling beside him, one hand resting behind his neck, the other hovering over his chest. “Oh, good Heavens. My dear, you seem to be hurt quite badly.”

Crowley wanted to snap at the angel for pointing out the obvious, but couldn’t. And really, if he were being honest, sometimes he forgot that being immortal and being able to be injured or killed were not the same thing. Perhaps on occasion he was a little too reckless, and this time he paid for it.

“We must get you home, looked after,” Aziraphale said and ever so gently moved with the intention of getting Crowley upright, perhaps back to his car.

Crowley didn’t get past a sitting position without his damaged lungs protesting. His chest burned with agony that brought whiteness to his vision, and he reached out and grabbed Aziraphale’s coat, giving a strangled cry as he felt more blood bubbling up in his throat.

“Please…” he tried, fighting back the painful urge to cough.

“It’s all right,” Aziraphale murmured gently, as he carefully slipped his arms under Crowley. “I’ve got you, dear boy. Be easy.”

Crowley gave another strangled sound that he refused to admit was a sob as Aziraphale lifted him up and carried him toward where they had left the Bentley.

It was one of the most agonizing experiences Crowley had ever gone through. How was it that a few broken ribs from a building falling on him was causing him so much distress? It was almost embarrassing. He would heal completely in a couple days, after all, there was really no need for all this distress.

And yet…until that time, he knew he was looking at a painful recovery.

Even the drive back to the bookshop was Hellish. Though Aziraphale was extremely careful with his driving—Crowley had never been so grateful for the angel’s caution as he was at that moment.

It was the angel transferring Crowley to the couch in the back of the shop that finally did him in though. It seemed like that last movement was what officially made Crowley’s ribcage protest completely.

He felt something shift the instant Aziraphale moved to set him on the sofa, and the pain rocketed to the point where he couldn’t breathe, and he could feel the blood in the back of his throat as he gasped for breath.

In his suffering, he was only aware after quite a few long moments that Aziraphale was crouching in front of him, holding his arms to keep him steady as he choked up blood and gasped for breath with a rattle in his lungs. He reached out and grabbed a handful of Aziraphale’s coat with his shaking hand, unable to say anything, but needing an anchor.

“Oh, Crowley,” Aziraphale said softly, pain obvious in his eyes as he watched his friend suffering. “I do believe you have a punctured lung from those broken ribs.”

Crowley wheezed again, and coughed up some more blood. Aziraphale pulled out a handkerchief and carefully wiped his lips.

“Easy now, I think it’s best to keep you upright…oh, pillows, we need pillows.”

But Crowley didn’t release his hold on the angel as Aziraphale started to look around. He wasn’t sure why he couldn’t seem to let go. (Well, except for the fact that, 1. He thought that if he did he would simply fall on the floor and, 2. He didn’t really want the angel to leave him, even for a second, but that one, of course, was never something he would admit to.)

Aziraphale, thankfully, seemed to realize both of these things without Crowley having to say anything and his worried expression softened to one of gentle care. He patted Crowley’s hand instead.

“Don’t worry, dear, I’m not going anywhere. Now, just a moment, while I get everything situated…”

And to Crowley’s surprise, within the course of a minute, Aziraphale had moved to the couch, and positioned Crowley upright, resting with his back against the angel’s chest as Aziraphale kept him propped upright. The position, Crowley noticed, helped ease a little of his breathing, and also reduced the pain slightly.

After a few minutes when he got his breath back without coughing blood, he murmured a quiet, “Thanks, angel.”

Aziraphale ran a hand over his shoulder comfortingly. “Of course, dear.”

“Be…be fine in…day or two,” Crowley managed before he felt the urge to cough threaten again and stopped, pressing his lips together tightly as he rode it out.

“Shh,” Aziraphale said, cradling him gently as he pulled his knees up to keep Crowley corralled between them as if to make sure he didn’t slide either way. “Of course you’ll be fine. Now why don’t you just sit here and rest until you start to heal. I’ll be right here.”

And with those comforting words, Crowley couldn’t think of anything he wanted to do more. He leaned his head back against Aziraphale’s shoulder, face nuzzled into the hollow of his throat as he allowed his eyes to close as his friend held him gently, never doing anything to cause him more pain.

He was asleep before he knew it.

When he woke next, there was a twinge in his chest and side, but nothing like the spear of agony that had terrorized him before. He breathed experimentally and felt a small ache for his efforts, but he could breathe and there was no blood involved so he took that as a good sigh.

And he was still cocooned protectively in Aziraphale’s arms, which made all the difference.

“How are you feeling, my dear?” the angel asked, sensing Crowley was awake.

“Mm,” Crowley murmured. “Better.”

Aziraphale shifted slightly, and Crowley felt some regret at that movement, not wanting to relinquish his comfortable position of safety just yet. “I’m glad to hear it.”

He turned slightly to rest more comfortably in Aziraphale’s protective embrace, closing his eyes again. “Still tired, though.”

The angel huffed a fond laugh, and patted his shoulder, relaxing again. As Crowley had suspected, he was perfectly fine with this position, he just hadn’t been sure Crowley was. Well, turned out Crowley was perfectly okay and too tired to care about the weakness he was showing.

“Very well, then,” Aziraphale said softly. “You had best get some more rest.”

And Crowley planned to do just that, knowing he was safe under the protection of his best friend.
