The European Union won't let me come into the country, because my lead foot violates their RoHS directives. And that's okay. Europe has lots of fantastic automobiles: the 1988 Fiat Panda 4x4, the 1993 Renault Twingo, and pretend I mentioned something German here. All of them have delightful, teeny-tiny engines, and are a joy to drive in a crowded city. None of them are easy to import.
Japanese folks are all too willing to dump a Skyline or a Crown on a cargo ship for you. We've got too many amazing high-performance automobiles, just like fields full of them, and Big Otochan Government says that we have to keep them in pristine condition, or no registration. So why don't you have a couple of them? Clear out the back forty behind my mechanic's shop. Europeans, though, make it very difficult to import their cars. It isn't a full-service auction-to-driveway curbstoning operation.
All this is to say: I can't enter European countries. I can't ask them to send me a car (I barely speak The Queen's English,) and also they will probably expect payment of some kind. Getting a beautiful, 80s-wedge-humping-a-space-shuttle Citroen BX in my driveway is going to be a challenge.
Luckily for me, there are a lot of cargo ships that have failed to deliver their cargo in time. Hurricanes. Typhoons. Really ugly storms. Captain farts on the GPS and breaks it. The bottom of the ocean is full of little tiny Italian shitboxes, and all I have to do is commission a submarine research project to go pick them up. Billionaires love a submarine research project, and standards for the industry have slipped in recent months such that you're no longer expected that they survive the mission. Best part is? Maritime salvage law means those suckers are free.
Now, I know what you're saying: doesn't salt water violently corrode every part of the car, rendering it nearly unusable after mere days immersed? And you'd be right, but I also live in a province that salts the roads in winter. The only difference between the car I'm actively driving and a chunk of rusty Frenchmobile that I pulled off the ocean floor using a robot is that the latter one is more predictable. See you next spring, in something with twelve-inch that will be half Bondo, but with an air of the exotic about it.

What's CT drinking tonight?


The Alcoholic Reflux
Captain Morgan
Artichoke heart juice
Panda Express soy sauce
Xylitol mint gum chunks
Undiluted starbucks passion tea concentrate
Lemon concentrate
Chilli flakes
Vile. A disparate, sloppy beatdown of salt and acid. Unpleasantly textured. Gritty, with a film of saline oil that greets the lips first and coats the throat on the way down. The drink takes it's time, like an overdue house guest, like a doctor's appointment, like a story told by a desperate used car salesman. There is something Sisyphean about the drink, it is desperate to be experienced, but it's birth from the gods of acid and salt doom it to an existience of indigestion. After only two sips, I poured this poor soul down the drain.

Headcanons and Canon info Mass List
Unlike my Ao3 version of this, every time I get new canon info or a new head canon it will be it's own chapter because I won't be using this as a reference sheet.
~~~
This has to be broken into chunks just so I can keep it organized so lets start with:
Places:
Vontral- the main continent and is flat
Riftreach- New York city but in Egyptian style. Built over the rift and everything goes up because going underground is basically illegal
Gada-Yama- Business hub full of Moritermes (termites) with a temple to the death god directly under the mound
Wainua- city that half in the sea
Abellio- TBA, I'll update this once I rewatch the first episode of s2
Ruins of Inanis- TBA, I'll update this once I rewatch the first episode of s2
Aragdus- TBA, I'll update this once I rewatch the first episode of s2
Franklin- Home of the Franklin castle where the "Frankies" are trained. Frankies are really tough mercenaries
Firetounge Outpost- Thought to be a volcano island, is actually a mindflayer lookout/faciality.
Lotterton- nicknamed Slaughterton. Crime town where our heroes started their journey.
Is- Mining town.
Parian- Where the Victora festival happens and Dramaticus (and other famous fighters) live.
The United Federation of Goblin Territories- read the tin. Its a Goblin society that the governments of the world let exist
Bowenburg- Classic fantasy town. Where Glib's magic school was.

Wallace/Hurricane Touchdown Appreciation, Day 1
Prompt: Journey
Happy Friday, and happy Summer Memory Weekend! I wanted to go big on the first day, so I made a fanmix... my FIRST fanmix, as it turns out! I tried to choose songs to compliment the journey of Hurricane Touchdown itself, centered around Daisuke and Wallace. NGL, there's a light shipping element to it too, but that aspect didn’t end up being particularly overt (in my opinion), so it's really just there if you want to hear it.
Listen here: YouTube | Spotify
(Please note that track 3 is incomplete on YouTube! The Spotify version is complete.)
The songs are intended to alternate between Wallace and Daisuke's POV, starting with Wallace.
Track list and additional notes beneath the cut!
Track list (total playtime: 54 minutes)
1. Lift Me Up (Leave Me Here) - Brent Cowles* | 2. All Star (cover) - Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! | 3. Russell - Honeytree Whiskey* | 4. I Told You So - Almost, Maine* | 5. Hurricane - One Flew West* | 6. Catching Yellow - Stacked Like Pancakes | 7. Blue Sky Happiness - Single File* | 8. Golden Summer - Songs of Water | 9. Same Old House - Compass & Cavern* | 10. Don't Stop Movin' - Pandas & People* | 11. Destiny - Fortune in Fallacy* | 12. Love Takes a Wrecking Ball - A Silent Film | 13. Down to Fate - Rob Drabkin* | 14. Golden - Maggie Eckford | 15. Nobody Knows - The Lumineers*
I highlighted some choice lyrics and tried to explain how I see each song relating to Hurricane Touchdown here, if you would like to read my ramblings.
One more thing: Because it’s something I have passing knowledge and an interest in, I set myself the extra goal of primarily featuring musicians from the state of Colorado, where Summer Memory is supposed to be located. These artists are marked with an asterisk in the list above. You’ll notice I managed it for all of Wallace’s songs, and even a few of Daisuke’s! To my knowledge, most of them have not "made it" outside of local radio station play, so if this mix helps you discover a song or group you happen to love, please consider supporting them.
Thanks for listening!

Have any headcanons on Sonic and the wild? Like during his survival in the woods, did he communicate or befriend other animals if he can understand Ozzie? Raccoons... ducks... turtles maybe?
Hmm, you would like to see some Feral Space Hog headcanons? Aww! I love it! Yes, I think that I can arrange something like that for you all for today/tonight...
Sonic is a top-notch forager. He is excellent in knowing what roots, tree nuts, herbs, berries, and insects are good to eat. Once collected, he would sort his items out and keep them stored in various containers and other shelves in his cave. He didn’t discover human food until a family left their picnic basket unattended at their camping site and ate all the contents inside. Since then, he would rise early, or leave in the middle of the night, and rummage through alleyways and corner stores at top speeds to take food.
Our lovable Space Hog learned how to communicate with the Animals in the forest way before he learned how to speak English and communicate with the humans.
Thanks to Longclaw’s teachings, Sonic was able to recall and categorize all the natural herbs, roots, and other essentials needed in case he came down with any sort of illnesses and injuries. He used to doubt himself for thinking that he would never use them, but Longclaw’s voice always nagged him in the back of the head to collect them just in case. Sonic was always quick to thank his lucky stars for having them on hand during harsh winters--especially cold and flu seasons.
Sonic Wachowski also loved to collect comic books from store fronts when no one was watching--he relates to The Flash and Captain America to most. Comic books are one of two main sources of how he learned to read and write, the other was eavesdropping on an elementary school where some classroom windows were opened. He frequented them every day for a couple of years and learned some basic human history.
Before discovering his cave, Sonic would build small shrubbery caves and dig holes to sleep in them for the night. He didn’t discover his cave until falling into it taking a late morning stroll in search of food.
The forest that surrounds the town of Green Hills is called The Great Forest, Knothole Village is a national park’s name that preserved chunk of land to honor the first settlers of the town while migrating up the state’s borders.
All of the items that he has in his cave were found along sides of streets, abandoned buildings, dumpsters, store fronts, stolen from Crazy Carl, or he was able to take a thing or two from the Donut Lord and Pretzel Lady when they weren’t looking.
Sonic is best friends with Harry T. Bigfoot. Harry is a chill hippie that always greets Sonic with a smile and makes him flower crowns. No one in town believes Sonic when he says that he knows Harry... not even Crazy Carl!
Sonic still has an enemy on Earth--those stupid squirrels. Evil squirrels. Never trust them.
Sonic did not sleep much while living in the cave. He had spent lots of hours trying to disguise it with moss, leaves, vines, and anything that he could find to make sure that it didn’t look like a cave. but he’s had many nights where he did not sleep. On average, he would sleep every other day and sleep a total of six hours... just enough to help him feel like he was secure in his cave.
He does contain many Earth hedgehog traits, such as a strong sense of smell and hearing. While tracking animals and humans, he often relies on his hearing and sense of smell to help him pinpoint if and where danger is around him. Sonic was trained how to do this by Longclaw--just a safety precaution she advised him to learn to help him track a certain clan if they’re near.
Growing up, Sonic had a rock pet named “Rocky.” Rocky went everywhere with Sonic, he still does. Sonic keeps Rocky in his backpack and takes him out to engage with Fred.
He does has a second cave that he’ prepared for himself in case he chose not to warp to the Mushroom Planet. He’s got a second one prepped with canned foods, some basic entertainment, and other essentials there to hide out in until he felt like it was safe for him to return to his true cave.
The hole above his cave is a newer edition. He added that feature himself one night hoping to see if he could spot his planet in the sky. The stars appeared the same, so did the sky and the moon... he does wonder just how far his planet was from Earth if Longclaw claimed that it was on the farthest side of the universe.
He loved the Summer and Fall months of the year. Those were the easiest seasons to live in as he stayed isolated in the forest. Sonic loves snow and rain, he loves the cooler air and the sun’s rays on his fur, but the changes of the seasons always caused problems for him living in his cave. Some days there would always be rain puddles in it, others snow or fallen leaves.Sometimes there were days where he couldn’t leave his cave due to the weather’s conditions outside. Fall and Summer were much easier to manage due to the weather patterns being predictable.
Sonic has no idea where Toby the Turtle is. Last when he saw Tony was when the USA Military apprehended him in the forest and Dr. Robotnik wanted to take him in for questioning.
Sonic has made friends with the animals in the forest, such as the birds and the bears, they all taught him at a young age how to find food in every nook and cranny, as well as let him stay in their burrows to keep him warm at night. Many animals also taught him what the humans were and told them to stay away due to them fearing that they’ll lose their homes from deforestation. Sonic vowed to each animal present that they wouldn’t lose their homes from the humans wanting to expand their town. He often tells Tom of the forest critters concerns and they’ve arranged something with the Mayor of Green Hills to keep the land sacred and replenished with new trees.
Sonic loves to take the time to explore the forest. He’s got a name for every tree, flower, rock, and mountain he sees. He’ll also mark off each familiar site with a piece of cloth he ties to the trunk of a tree... or he’ll put a sticker on it. Sonic will also make maps of the forest as well and likes to mark off what each section has the best food, herbs, and springs to lounge in.
His daily routine—if he slept that day—was wake up, do his morning stretches, take a quick jog around the state of Montana, bathe in the crystal waters of the lake nearby the entrance of town, quickly enter Jellee’s Donut Shoppe to snag a baked good, eat his breakfast on the rooftop of city hall to observe his favorite person work. Sometimes, if he caught Tom at a good time, he’d follow his police cruiser to the speed pit and play a quick game of “why-is-the-speedometer-going-bonkers-today?” with him before the end of his shift. He’s trend quietly to the Wachowski home just in time for movie night and return to his cave in the forest. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays are reserved for his afternoon yoga session with Pretzel Lady.
Slugs, worms, flowers, bugs, fruits and veggies? Those are all things that Sonic loves to eat! On some occasion he’ll eat dried cat food, but it always tastes like there’s cat in it. Do not give Sonic catnip.
Although a very rare thing to see in the State of Montana, as well as the western part of the United States, Sonic loves to catch fireflies and play tag with them. He loves how gentle and warm they appear to be when they glow in the night’s sky and he loves how the glow from their body radiates a soft halo. He would never catch them in a Mason jar; he loves to cup them in his paws, make a wish, and set them free.So far, he can confirm that his wish came true...
Flower crowns. Love them. He makes them all the time in the forest and collects them. Give him one of the flowers in the forest and he’ll name every one and wear them in his spines.
Sonic mesures his growth by painting his paws and leaving the prints on the walls. He has no idea of how old he is, but he knows by the paw sizes that he is getting older and loves to see how much he’s grown.
The raccoons by the garage? Yeah, he’s the king of the trash pandas. Each one has a name: Joey, Monica, Chandler, Ross, Rachel, and Phoebe. They all obey Sonic when he asks them not to dig in the trash, they don’t with Tom. Joey likes to break into the house and steal Tom’s cake and watch TV.
Sonic has a soft spot for ducks. He built a small pond in the backyard of the house—with the help of Maddie—and he plays with them daily. They’re not allowed in the house, but he will sneak them in on occasion if it’s a rainy day and let them stay in his room.
Dequilling is a natural thing that Sonic will do. He does lose some of his spines, but he does manage to have them groomed when they start to fall. There is a catch to this, due to cultural beliefs of his species, the right to groom and style his spines must be done by a motherly figure, he always asks Maddie to brush his spines and help him style them up into a ‘do. This is how they’ve started to bond in the past.
Sonic does squeak when he’s excited, he’ll often squeak like an Earth hedgehog when he’s excited, happy, and annoyed. His squeaks and chirps are ways that he used to communicate on his home planet and will frequently use them around Tom and Maddie. Sometimes he forgets that they won’t always understand the exact words that he says, but the two of them know that their son is happy and they’re happy that he’s apart of their lives.
And finally, Sonic likes to take Tom and Maddie to tour the place where he once lived. When they camp out in the mountains, Sonic took it upon himself to fix up his owns cave and catered it to the three of them to spend the nights in. It’s small, but comforting. He figured that since Tom and Maddie made it a point to welcome him into their home and their family, he thought that he would try to do the same by fixing up the cave as a “vacation home” of sorts for them all. He has never been happier.
I’d like to thank @movie-robotnik-positivity for helping me out with some of these for the headcanons. Thank you so, so much! You‘re a very wonderful person and I love you! I love and appreciate you very much, Matt. I think that it would be very cool to see a bit more of Sonic’s past in the second film, don’t you? I would love to see what his life was like growing up in the forest and what he did before meeting Tom and Maddie. Mainly I’d like to see the growth of the character. Sonic’s a special bean and he needs love. Thank you for suggesting it!
Stay safe for me, okay?
You matter❤️

When the Moon meets the Morning, Chapter 5 - Warmth against the Chill
Summary: Raphael is going on missions with Captain Jupiter as he always does when he meets an orange-wearing turtle yokai who feels oddly familiar.
Word Count: 1519
Ratings/Warnings: General Audiences; some minor harrowing moments, but mostly fluff, emotional overload, emotional manipulation, self-deprecation
Notes: Some emotional overload and somewhat harrowing moments in this chapter. This chapter was the last one I wrote/drafted out of all of them, but I’m happy with how it turned out. Includes a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it reference to Digg. Big thanks to @undercoverwizardninjaturtle, @fraymotiif, and @5weekdays for helping me workshop this.
Read on AO3 For the RotTMNT Fantasy AU
———-
They are at the last stop on their trek. Good thing, too because the snow was now thick on the ground and piling heavy on the mountaintops surrounding them. The passageways between the mountains would soon become impassable. A majority of Mikey's packages for this town included supplies to help them through the winter. As they are handing off the last set of deliveries to an elderly couple who owned the general store - a stone building at the center of town - Red Fox's ear twitches and she looks out to the middle distance as if listening for something. Her nose quivers, causing the pink scar above it to crinkle, as she explores the scents in the air.
Raph knows this stance as a signal that something was coming.
"What is it?” Raph asks Red Fox seriously.
Red Fox opens up her mouth to say something, but before she could, a rumbling crack from above echoes through the village. They look up at the snow-capped peak that the town is primarily leaning on to see a wave of snow tumbling down at them.
An avalanche.
Red Fox leaps into action, magically extending her tail to gently wrap around the elderly couple and their packages, and pulls them under the awning of the roof of the sturdy general store. The town must be used to these sorts of things because an emergency beacon starts flashing and many people immediately start scrambling to safety. There are some stragglers though.
"Raph!" Red Fox yells and signals to the remaining villagers who are still out in the open. Raph understands and he runs out to bring the rest to safety. He scoops up a young couple of humans in his strong arms and puts up his red projections around them. The snow is over them now like a great wave and Raph isn't sure if his giant form will hold. However, he doesn't have to worry, when an almost equally large wave of fire clashes with the snow, melting it instantly.
He looks over to see Mikey with his arms extended sending powerful gusts of flames melting the snow as it falls from the mountain. He strains as still more pours down. He gives a signal to Infinity, who has a smaller yokai passenger onboard that Mikey must've rescued, and the phoenix speeds towards Raph. Mikey nods to Raph and both the large snapper and Infinity rush their passengers to safety. Once he knows that they are secure in the stone building with the avalanche passing over the sloped roof, Raph turns around again to try to help anyone else in need of rescue.
A particularly large chunk of snow and ice is about to crash on a trio of young, brown-furred yokai women. Raph puts more energy into his projected fist and punches the chunk of ice away. Raph starts to herd them over to the store.
"Wooooaaaah!" One of the yokai says, looking up at Raph in amazement, "Aren't you that Blood Moon Hunter...?" She looks like maybe a prairie dog?
“Er, well actually..." Raph is about to say, but is interrupted by a second woman, stouter than the first.
"I thought the tales were about a Red Angel," she says.
The third woman, largest of the three, offers a series of grunts in response, but the others seem to understand what she is saying.
"You're right, Honey Badger," says the second one, the stories did say he was some sort of bounty hunter.
Raph allows himself a small smile in the chaos. It seems like Mikey's stories are spreading, even if not exactly in the way as intended. Wait. Where was Mikey? He scans the surroundings barely paying attention to the women as they continue to chatter excitedly.
"Yeah and look at his eyes! They're like a blood moon!"
"We should totally make a song about him!"
As the third woman grunts in affirmation, Raph sees what he is looking for.
A section of snow in the distance seems to explode outward. Protective flames wrap around Mikey as a young child huddles beneath him. Mikey is holding back the wave of snow and ice with his fire. He gestures to the child to move. The two of them run together, Mikey providing a shield between them, melting any snow that comes in contact with them. He looks like he is straining hard against the mountain’s onslaught causing worry to twist around Raph’s gut. Maybe he's using his powers too much. Overextending one's magic can be really dangerous. One of Mikey's hands reaches up to cup his head as if trying to block out sound.
That's when Raph thinks of another problem Mikey must be having. So many people in the middle of a natural disaster - Mikey would be feeling all of the emotions that come from that sort of situation from all of them. And at the same time that he is taxing his fire magic! That's not a good combination.
Mikey and the child come closer, but the sigh of relief that Raph is about to let out gets caught in his throat as Mikey trips. In his kneeling position he extends a hand outward so the flames continue to create a pathway allowing the child to get to safety, but a particularly large spurt of snow crackles its way toward the young turtle. With it comes a large pine tree that must've got caught in the flow headed straight for him.
Raph moves before he can think. The magical red projection he creates grows larger and larger, crashing through the falling snow, completely unimpeded by the force. In a few giant leaps he is upon Mikey and throws his form over the orange clad turtle. He brings Mikey into the projection’s form so he is able to wrap his real arms around Mikey. He knows the worst of the snow along with the tree is still coming so he pushes all the power he can muster into one of the back spikes on his projection. The spike extends like a javelin and meets the tree mid-fall. A crack spreads lengthwise through the trunk of the tree and splits it in half. The two halves along with the snow spread around the large spike as if it were cutting through the avalanche itself.
As suddenly as the avalanche had come, it stops. The mountain stops rumbling so dangerously, and the snow ends it's onslaught of the village. Beneath Raph, curled in his arms is Mikey, shaking like a leaf with tears pouring down his cheeks. His hands are gripping the sides of his head as if to try to block out the world.
"Hey... Mikey..," Raph begins in a soft voice. "The avalanche is over now, you're safe!"
Mikey shakes his head violently, and continues to tremble and cry, letting out stuttering whimpers.
Raph is hit with a sudden sense of deja vu. Didn't he experience this before? Some flashes of a memory come back to him. Woods curling around Mikey. The voices of so many people. So many emotions rushing over him, more powerful than any avalanche. And Raph's shield.
Raph understands what he can do. He takes a deep breath, lowering his projected form, but putting up a protective shield spell around them. He tries to mimic the kind of spell that he was somehow able to create in his dream. The shield doesn't extend very far, but very little sound from the outside comes in.
Mikey's eyes snap open. Tears continue to pour from them, but he slowly lowers his hands from his head and shakily looks up at Raph.
"Hey buddy," Raph says with a soft smile. "It's all right. I'm here. You're safe."
Mikey blinks. Once. Twice. Something like a smile twitches at the corner of his mouth. "R-raph?"
"Yeah, it's me. No one else." Based on Mikey's reactions he thinks his shield is doing its job of blocking out all of the distressing emotions from outside.
Mikey's smile wobbles as he looks up gratefully at Raph. Large tears pool yet again in his eyes and he throws himself at Raph, wrapping his arms around him in the best tiny hug he can muster. He cries with a mixture of wet sobs and choked laughs. Raph returns the hug, enveloping Mikey's form in his large arms. They sit like that for a while. Raph isn't sure how long. Mikey slowly settles down, and the soft, even breathing Raph hears from the yokai cradled in his arms signals that he has fallen asleep.
He slowly lowers his shield, but Mikey's sleep doesn't seem disturbed by the lack of it. Most everyone seems to have gone home or helped with repairs in the village by now. Red Fox is there helping them.
Raph is able to quietly explain to the red panda that they should leave soon and gestures to Mikey. Without much explanation, Red Fox seems to understand. She's good like that.
They spend the last night of their trek away from any villages, and under the stars; Mikey still sleeping peacefully in Raph's protective arms.

Jealous! (Steve Harrington One Shot)
Description: Hi, can you do 8,9 and 10 on the prompt list with Steve Harrington?
8-“Why are you so jealous?”
9- “Where do you think you’re going”
10-“Just leave me alone”
If there was one thing you knew about Steve Harrington it was that he was a flirt, he couldn’t help it though it just seemed like a natural thing about him in all honesty. Your friends warned you when you told them you had a crush on the boy who worked a few stores down from you at the mall that he was a player. Of course none of them actually knew Steve so why would you take their advice?
You knew Steve from high school, a prime time for him it seemed. He had it all Nancy Wheeler, the nice big house, Carol and Tommy to hangout with, but eventually some of that went away. Nancy moved onto Jonathan Byers, he stopped hanging out with Tommy and Carol, and now he was working at Scoops Ahoy. He also seemingly had all these kids coming in every night before you closed and would let them into the backroom through the hallways behind the shops of the mall.
One night in particular you could recall catching Steve letting them through,
_____
You were closing up at The Gap, being the only person closing sometimes scared you but you did what had to be done. You grab the trash bags and walk out to the hallway behind the store, before you completely walk in you hear voices yelling down the hall.
‘‘Come on, come on,’‘ You hear Steve’s familiar voice. ‘‘I swear if anybody hears about this-’‘ He continues.
‘‘We’re dead!’‘ All of the kids yell in unison. Their group confused you at times, it was like they had this secret unspoken bond and only talked to each other really. You didn’t have many friends in high school or now so sometimes you felt envious watching the group parade around the mall. You watch Steve as he stands there for a few seconds more then makes his way in through the back of the shop.
You decide now would be as good of a time than ever than to introduce yourself. You pick up the trash and then walk down to the door Steve had let the kids in through and you knock lightly. After a few minutes he open the door staring at you wide eyed. ‘’So you’re smuggling kids?’’ You ask him.
He still stares at you wide eyed not sure what to say, ‘’Me? no-’’ He finally spits out.
‘‘I just saw you do it,’‘ You say gesturing down the hall in the direction of the theatre. Steve looked a little nervous honestly, ‘‘Don’t worry I’m not going to rat you out or anything,’‘ You say laughing trying to get him to relax a little bit.
‘‘Then what?’‘ He asks.
‘‘I want a banana split on the house, that’s all.’‘ You tell him smiling. He looks at you amused and then nods his head widening the door open allowing you inside.
‘‘A banana split huh?’‘ He asks looking at you and you smile nodding your head. He walks out to the front and you sit down at the table in the back watching his silhouette through the window moving back and forth. A few minutes later he comes back with the biggest banana split you had ever seen, ‘‘There ya go.’‘ He says pulling out the chair opposite from you and sitting down next to you.
You take the spoon that was already dipped into the ice cream and take a bite of it, it tasted sooo good. You look up noticing Steve looking at you like he was completely amused yet confused, ‘’I think this could be the start of a great friendship Steve Harrington.’’ You say smiling.
____
Ever since that night you were right, it was the start of a great friendship. Your intentions at first were just to get Steve Harrington to look your way and now you had him as your best friend, your intentions turned out to be better than you had expected. Although now Steve was your best friend it didn’t stop your attraction to him from growing stronger. Steve was a lot more than people thought he was, in high school he was King Steve, literally the most popular boy and now to you he was the dork who was friends with a bunch of kids that at times you thought were actually cooler than him.
You walked into Scoops Ahoy and see Steve at the counter trying to stay patient as he waited on Erica Sinclair, he had told you that she came in everyday asking for samples basically getting an entire free ice cream out of it. He notices you standing behind and smiles at you then looks down to Erica rolling his eyes causing you to laugh.
‘’Excuse me!’’ Erica calls out her voice laced with attitude as she gained Steve’s attention. ‘’I want to try the chocolate chunk again.’’ She says.
‘‘Again?’’ Steve groans, ‘‘You’ve already had it three times!’‘ He calls out. She just looks at him giving him a glare and you wait patiently behind trying to hold in your laughter at his frustration. Eventually she does leave and Steve sighs when you walk up to the register.
‘‘Tough day sailor?’‘ You ask him laughing.
He glares at you making you laugh even more, ‘’What do you want?’’ He groans.
‘‘I was going to offer to buy you lunch but not with that attitude,’‘ You say crossing your arms over your chest.
‘’I’m sorry,’’ He sighs, ‘’It’s just that girl-’’ He says sounding frustrated.
‘‘It’s all good, what do you want to eat?’‘ You ask him. Ten minutes later you ended up at Imperial Panda grabbing Steve and you some food, you make your way to the back hallway noticing the crowd of people standing at the front of Scoops Ahoy. You walked through the gap and into the back hallway wanting to avoid the crowd of people and you walk to the familiar door bending down pushing the handle down with your elbow and pushing the door open.
You make your way into the back room sitting the Chinese down on the table, it seemed like this had become your and Steve’s spot after the night you first met. You would eat lunch together and then on nights when Steve was feeling generous he would make you banana splits without even asking.
‘‘Ahoy Ladies!’‘ You hear Steve practically scream. You smile to yourself pulling the Chinese out of the bag and setting it up on the table. ‘‘I’ll be your captain as we make you a nice boat of ice cream today,’‘ He says and you literally cringe.
‘’Oh gosh,’’ You mutter to yourself. You can hear the laughter of the girls he must’ve been talking to outside.
After a few minutes you sat in the back waiting for him to be done and you can still hear the girls practically fawning over him from the back room. ‘‘Maybe we could hangout this weekend?’’ You hear him ask and your heart drops. Steve had asked you to hangout this weekend, you walk over to the door and open it slightly seeing who he was talking to, Anna Jacobi.
You watch her laugh and Steve smiles eagerly at her, you quickly push yourself away from the door and walk over grabbing your portion of the Chinese food stuffing it back in the bag ready to leave. ‘’Hey!’’ You hear as Steve finally walks to the back of the room. ‘’You’re leaving?’’ He asks and you just stay silent grabbing your drink. You look up at him and he looks at you confused, you roll your eyes at him and make your way to the back door.
‘’Hey! Where do you think your going?’’ Steve asks as you pull the door open, he puts his hand above yours preventing you from opening it.
‘‘I’m going back to work Steve,’‘ You sigh. You turn around and realize you were only a few inches from Steve and he takes his hand off the door peering down at you.
‘‘What’s wrong?’‘ He asks letting out a laugh.
You roll your eyes once again, this boy really was oblivious. ‘’Nothing just leave me alone alright?’’ You tell him. He looks at you a little taken back by your attitude, in the time you’ve been friends with Steve you’ve never really been mad at him until now.
‘‘Come on,’‘ He says smiling at you. ‘‘Just sit down let’s have lunch we can talk about it.’‘ He says simply.
‘‘I don’t want to talk about it Steve,’‘ You tell him getting annoyed. ‘‘I’ve gotta go alright?’‘ You tell him. You quickly make your way out of Scoops Ahoy and into the hallway not turning back to see if Steve was standing there, he probably was but you didn’t want to look at him.
You debated the rest of your shift if you were allowed to be mad at Steve, he didn’t know you liked him, but he seemed to always be flirting with you and spending time with you. You had no idea what to think, it seemed like you were always being put in the friend zone with guys none of them ever thinking of you beyond anything but a friend. But being Steve’s friend was something you enjoyed, and even if that meant keeping quiet about your feelings and just watching as he went on dates with other girls then so be it.
You grab the trash bag from behind the counter and walk to the back of the store into the hallways once again, you walk past scoops ahoy and to your surprise they were already closed. You furrow your eyebrows confused as to why they were closed so early and shrug continuing to make your way to the dumpsters out back, when you open the door you felt it hit something, or someone.
‘‘Shit!’‘ You call out peering around the door seeing who you hit.
‘‘I know your upset but Damn!’‘ Steve says putting his hand to his head. You just stare at him a few seconds and mutter out an apology before walking to the dumpster throwing the trash inside. ‘‘Y/N,’‘ Steve calls out to you.
You turn around looking at him as he walks over closer to you, ‘’What?’’ You ask him.
‘‘I know why your upset,’‘ Steve says and you felt yourself start to panic, ‘‘I forgot to tell you that one guy you like to avoid was working next to the Chinese place didn’t I?’‘ He says completely oblivious. ‘‘I mean I know he’s weird and all, but give him a chance you know?’‘ Steve continues.
You just stare at him in complete shock, how stupid could he be? ‘’No,’’ You say letting out a laugh. ‘’Just leave me alone.’’ You tell him once again.
‘‘Then what Y/N!’‘ Steve yells as you walk away from him.
At this point what did you have to lose? ‘’You asked Anna Jacobi to hangout with you this weekend.’’ You say groaning at how pathetic you probably sounded. ‘’We were suppose to do something.’’ You tell him crossing your arms over your chest.
‘‘So you’re jealous?’‘ Steve asks an amused grin on his face.
‘‘Not everyone’s so bent over you Harrington,’‘ You tell him.
‘‘Oh Harrington?’‘ He says laughing. ‘‘You must be really mad to call me by my last name.’‘ He continues on ‘‘Why are you so jealous?’’ He says practically teasing you at this point.
‘‘You’re an ass,’‘ You tell him turning around and walking away from him. You walk over to the gate and press the button as it slowly opens, you felt a tear fall down your face not out of sadness but out of frustration.
‘‘Hey,’‘ He says walking up from behind you. ‘‘Woah, what’s wrong?’‘ Steve asks his eyes wide when he finally sees your face. It sucked because when you cried your nose and face seemed to get red always giving it away.
‘‘It’s not funny Steve,’‘ You say sternly. You walk out the gate hearing him follow in pursuit.
‘‘Y/N I was joking! I know you’re not jealous.’’ He says simply.
You sigh stopping in your tracks and turning around to look at him, ‘’I am jealous Steve,’’ You tell him and you watch his mouth part slightly. ‘’I’m jealous because I like you and you’re only ever going to see me as a friend.’’ You admit to him, man did that feel good to get off your chest. ‘’So congrats Harrington you got it right, you figured it out. I’m jealous that Steve Harrington asked another girl out.’’ You confess finally feeling a weight lifted of your chest.
‘‘You like me?’‘ He asks.
‘‘Of course I do Steve,’‘ You sigh. ‘‘Literally everyone but you seemed to figure it out, even Mike asked me about it.’‘ You say. ‘‘You really didn’t know?’‘ You ask him. He shakes his head no and honestly the boy looked so lost in his head at this point you felt bad for even telling him. ‘’Just forget about it then, really,’’ You tell him honestly feeling embarrassed.
You stand there awkwardly for a few seconds as the gears seemed to shift in his head, ‘’You like me?’’ He repeats, ‘’Since when?’’ He asks.
‘‘Since the first night I met you,’‘ You tell him, ‘‘I mean I thought I liked you I thought you were cute but didn’t really know you. Then we actually became friends and it just kind of got real I guess,’‘ You explain to him.
‘‘Why would you like me?’‘ He asks making you even more confused, ‘‘You’re smart, and pretty, and you’re going to college in the fall.’‘ He explains. ‘‘Why would you like me?’‘ He asks.
You sigh, ‘’Steve I think your so amazing and I know you might not see it but it’s hard for anyone you know to not love you.’’ You tell him. ‘’You’re such a good person, like such a good person.’’ You emphasize.
It takes him a few seconds to register it and once he finally does it was as if his whole body threw itself at you. One second he was standing five feet away and the next his lips were pressed against yours firmly, you kiss him back after the shock wears off. ‘’I’ve liked you for a while, I just didn’t think a girl like you would even think about liking me,’’ He says when he pulls away. You look at him sincerely, this boy seemed to think he was nothing special but he was the opposite, he was one of the most special people you’d ever met.
‘‘You’re a total goof,’‘ You say smiling before pushing yourself back up kissing him. ‘’Promise you’re not just saying this so I won’t be upset?’’ You ask him.
‘‘Promise,’‘ He says smiling down at you. ‘‘So does this mean you’re considered my co-captain now?’‘ Steve asks letting out a laugh and you groan pushing him away from you playfully.

Heist (Loki x Reader) Pt. VI
**ENDGAME SPOILERS**
Masterlist
Haven’t seen the beginning? Read the first part here!
Welcome back. This is the second to last part of the series. I apologize in advance for the stupid excuses for plots.
Taglist:
@angelofasgard16 @it-jinxed-us @dark-night-sky-99 @pyrowolfgirl1408 @heartsxhoney @twhgirl @xavierwoodsxkofikingston @panda-duuu @nonsensicalobsessions @marisayouass
One by one, portals opened up near you. You could see inside slightly. Some were lands you couldn't guess, but you could point out New York City and Wakanda. You could see T'Challa, Shuri, and Okoye step through. You didn't interact with them often, but they were always friendly.
Your smile grew as you saw Sam fly through the portal, circling back. The snap worked, no doubt about it. There was no way this wasn't real.
Your eyes flicked from portal to portal, seeing people you've never met before amongst the familiar faces. Spider-Man, Scarlet Witch, Bucky, and everyone else stepped through. Along with Doctor Strange (who you heard about from Tony), tens of hundreds of people like him stepped through. Ships with more people walked in as well, and Valkyrie flew in on her Pegasus.
Just as the portals were starting to close, Scott climbed up from the rubble with Bruce, Rhodey, and Rocket in his hand. Rocket was on top of Rhodey who was in his iron suit. Scott leaned down to let them jump off of his hand.
You grinned at them brightly and stood next to Clint. The army that came through the portals matched Thanos' army. Only in size though. You had no doubt in your mind that you'd beat them.
"Avengers," Steve yelled, grabbing Mjölnir. That wasn't even the most shocking thing you've seen today. You were still amazed. "Assemble." It was quiet, but that didn't stop Thor from yelling out a war cry as everyone started running into the fight.
You ran along with them, holding the gauntlet in your hand. You can't do much while holding it except make sure that it doesn't fall into anyone else's hands. Your back stung with pain still, but it didn't matter. There was too much adrenaline running in your veins.
"Where do you want this damn thing?!" You asked as you ran through the battlefield. Dodging alien after alien was rough. You wanted to fight.
"Keep that thing as far away from Thanos as possible!" Tony yelled.
"No!" Bruce interrupted. "Get it to the time machine. We can send it back."
"Well, that's going to be a little hard considering it was probably destroyed!" You dodged another alien as Peter used his web to blind it. You gave him a thankful glance before turning towards an open area.
"Wait! We have one other time machine" Scott jumped in. A distant car horn could be heard playing La Cucaracha.
"Valkyrie, can you find an ugly, brown van?" Steve asked.
"I can see it, but you're not going to like where it's parked."
You could only assume it was buried under parts of the building and that it had plenty of enemies surrounding it. "If someone can take these stones off my hands I can get in there and clear a path." You said, stopping to see who was around.
"Y/N, give it to me," T'Challa called out from on top of a hill. You handed him the gauntlet before running into the battle.
You shoved some enemies across the ground. For others, you used their own weapons against them. You'd take their blades and slice their necks or stab them easily. Tony taught you a few self-defense moves in case anything happened.
One more hill. You had one more hill to run up to before you could spot the van. Looking off to your right, Tony and Peter were hugging. The sight warmed your heart. On the other side, Wanda was beating the shit out of Thanos. She destroyed his weapon with ease. You were proud of her and silently cheered her on.
You made it to the top of the hill and slid down. The van laid in a mess of metal only a few yards away. You sprinted towards it, lifting your hands up to lift the metal with your powers. It was heavy and taking a toll on you. Sam backed you up, flying over to use bombs. He was able to break it up until smaller pieces for you. He then fought off several aliens that were racing to you.
The pieces were off the van in no time after that. Scott and Hope were loading up the machine. Just as the gauntlet was making its way over to the van, Thanos threw the last piece of his sword into the machine. It caused a huge explosion, sending you back.
You groaned in pain from the blast. Burns were scattered on your body, you could feel them. You were covered in dust and dirt. Sam flew over to you immediately, going to shield you. "Sam? What are you doing?" You asked him. He was about to respond when a large beam of light struck near you both.
Hundreds of the same thing started flying across the battlefield. They were coming from the ship up in the sky. You could see people getting struck by them and collapsing. The ship suddenly started aiming for something in the sky.
"What the hell is that?" Sam asked as you watched Captain Marvel going through the ship, easily taking it down.
"Our only lifeline," You replied, "Come on, let's go find that gauntlet before someone else does!" You quickly got up.
~
Thanos pulled the gauntlet on. The energy surged through him quickly. It reminded you too much of what happened five years ago. There was no way you could let it happen again.
Carol ran in before you could. She used her powers to stop him from snapping. She was able to overpower him. Just as she was going to land a final blow on him, he pulled the power stone out and blasted her away.
Thanos placed the stone back into its slot carefully. He was able to wield the stones and scan the grounds. He watched as people were still fighting. He found it almost cute.
You took this as your chance to stop him. Tony was still trying to stand, and Strange knew you had to stall for time. Whatever it takes.
Using your powers you swept in and stopped him from being able to move his hand. "Ah," He began, "The guardian. You couldn't handle losing everyone you loved, could you?"
"You think this is vengeance for everyone I've loved? Oh, no. You're sorely mistaken," You almost laughed, "The snap was for them. This... This is for Loki."
Your attention turned towards Tony and Strange. Your power was draining quickly. Strange looked at you, slowly moving his finger across his neck to tell you to stop. You nodded, and let Thanos win.
Thanos quickly took the advantage and grabbed you by the neck with his good hand. He threw you across like a ragdoll, and you crashed into the ground. You could barely keep your eyes open as Tony made his way in.
Strange helped you up, allowing you to rest on his side. You watched as Tony took the stones out of the gauntlet, smiling slightly.
Thanos threw him off, unaware that the stones were gone. He had a triumphant glint in his eyes as he held his hand up, getting ready to snap. "I am inevitable," He said, as a small clink could be heard. He turned his hand to see that the stones were gone.
Tony sat up, holding his right arm up instead. The stones slowly connected into the suit. The suit took a brutal part of the energy, but it hit him quickly. You could see the bright lights of the stones crawling their way up and through his neck.
Strange carried you over, knowing exactly what you'd do next. Grabbing his left hand, you nearly screamed from the pain. It woke you up quickly, and it felt electrifying. Tony looked at you with worry. "You're not going to do this alone, Tony. We're all in. Whatever it takes," You barely choked it out.
Tony nodded, turning his attention back to Thanos. Strange grabbed your hand. The next thing you knew, Steve held onto Tony's arm. Bucky did the same with Steve. Sam held you by the shoulder, and Peter Parker clung to Peter Quill, who was grabbing Nebula's wrist. One by one, everyone joined in, taking a chunk of the energy with them. It was evenly dispersing, lighting everyone up.
Rocket climbed onto Rhodey, completing the chain. "And we," Tony started, glaring at the Mad Titan, "Are the Avengers."
When Tony snapped, the bright light occurred once more. You opened your eyes when it was gone. Thanos' army was quickly vanishing, just like how your people were a few years ago.
Thanos sat down slowly on a rock. You watched as he slowly faded into dust as well. You couldn't fight the tears that threatened to escape. Your emotions were all over the place currently.
You and Tony took the most damage given that you were the closest to the stones. Tony collapsed shortly after you did. Pepper and Peter immediately went to him. Sam and Thor crouched down and helped you. You were fading quickly. It was getting to be too much.
You faded out when you heard the two words you needed.
"We won."
~
Staying in the hospital wing of the Avengers tower in New York City was probably the most frustrating thing you've experienced. It was dull, but at least you could watch TV. All across the networks, people were cheering as they reconnected with their loved ones. You didn't need to watch it though. You could hear it right outside. Cheers, celebrations, and parties were all across Manhattan. It was like modern V.E Day.
Tony wheeled in in a wheelchair while knocking on your door. You smiled at him and beckoned him to come in from your bed. You couldn't move your right arm and you were told there was no way you'd be walking for another week.
"What's up, Tony?" You greeted him.
"How are you feeling, kid?"
"Better than I was a few weeks ago, but it still hurts like a bitch sometimes."
"Yeah, well, tough luck. That's what you get for sharing the energy with me." You chuckled lightly.
"Right, I totally regret that move," You retorted.
"Oh, you should. I have to make sure Morgan's godmother outlives me to make sure Pepper has a backup."
"That's hysterical, Tony. It's cute."
"I'm being serious actually," He replied. His gaze was soft yet stern. "You are her godmother."
"I am?" You asked, surprised.
"You've been there for all five years she's been around. You've helped us raise her more than you realize. She gets excited when she knows you're coming over. I want you to be the godmother that Pepper and I despise because you spoil her rotten."
"That's a little hard to do considering her father's a billionaire."
"I threatened to sell all of her toys one night. She's not spoiled all the time." Tony grinned.
"Right, well, I'm honored, Tony. Really."
"Just promise me you won't die anytime soon."
"I promise."
~
"Stephen," You called Dr. Strange into your room one day. You were being discharged finally after a week of physical therapy.
He walked in nonchalantly, his head slightly tilted in response. Numerous bandages were scattered across his arms still.
"When I was holding Thanos back, he said that I was the guardian," Your mind drifted back to the memory. It felt like it was only yesterday. "I was wondering if you had any idea what he was talking about."
Stephen sighed before sitting down. "The infinity stones were destroyed. Truly. Thanos was able to rid the universe of them with the snap of his fingers. The stones have a sort of subconscious that you may have known due to the Tesseract." You nodded, and he continued, "They were aware that this could happen at some point. Every few centuries or whenever they felt like it, the stones would assign a guardian. Someone or something that could harness the power, and theoretically, create the stones again by exhausting the power."
"So you're saying the stones could be created again?"
"Yes, but only if you're willing to give up your power completely."
"Do we know anyone else who has it?"
"Wanda. Since her powers originate from the mind stone, she could bring the stone back. We could have both the space and mind stones back easily."
"The question is if it's a good idea."
~
The lakehouse was crowded with Avengers. Everyone who helped out in the battle against Thanos was there. Morgan was being held by her mom, who stood by Tony's side, a wide smile on her face as she introduced Happy to the child. Tears sprung in his eyes at finally getting to meet his best friend's daughter.
You caught up with T'Challa and Bucky in the meanwhile. You noticed Thor walking by with a bottle of beer and wasted no time to grab it out of his hands. He glared at you as you took a sip of it. It was absolutely disgusting, but you had to stop him from drinking.
After talking to most everybody, hugging them, and exchanging new phone numbers, you walked out by the lake to see Steve, Bruce, and Thor all grouped together in front of a new time machine. You and Bruce designed it and built it with ease. Rocket helped out every once in a while.
This time around, instead of making a simple time machine, you were able to create a more complex creation. This one could view the timelines. It had a screen that showed you the outcomes up until your present year. As you learned, there were thousands of different timelines, all differing slightly from each other. There could be one timeline where you beat Thanos in 2018, while another timeline includes Tony's death. Either way, each one was different.
The one you found to be the most shocking was one where Thanos won. That wouldn't be surprising if it didn't end up with the death of all of the Avengers. In this one, Loki witnessed every death firsthand, including your own. He had faked his death in that one, causing him to be able to watch it all unravel. Thor, Bucky, Tony, Nebula, everyone was dead. Thanos had to wipe everyone out in that timeline to complete his mission, and he did.
~
Steve had one job. He was going to take the stones and place them back where they were taken from. It wouldn't interrupt the timelines then, and life could be normal again. The thing that was eating you alive was the one timeline you could view. That one.
"Bruce, can I?" You asked him as Steve closed the case with the stones.
"Can you what?" He asked although he suspected what you were about to ask for. Your reaction to finding out about Loki was enough to make anyone pity you for a single moment.
"Can I take Loki from that timeline? He shares all of the same memories as we do up until 2018. He has nothing there, you saw it yourself. He's miserable. We could change that."
Bruce pondered the thought for a moment. He couldn't see what damage it could make. "You really love him, don't you?"
You said nothing and kept staring up at him. He nodded in understanding. "Alright, take one of the GPS watches. You can go with Steve. Be careful in that one. We only know what it's like now. We don't know if he's with Thanos at the moment or if something went wrong already."
You tried to calmly take the watch, but the excitement was still clear in your eyes. You walked up to Steve, who carried the stones and Mjolnir up. The two of you started setting up your GPS. One went to 2014 first, the other was going to 2018. The best point in time to go was the one where Loki was last seen in your main timeline. You don't know where he went after that, so it was best to go off of Thor's word.
While waiting for Bruce to program everything into place, you realized something. This opened up a whole new world for everybody. A way to go into alternate dimensions and universes. Your life was no longer in a single universe. You were present in a multiverse, filled with the same people, but different outcomes. It amazed you, and you almost wanted to just go around and explore everywhere. Sadly, you knew there was no way you could do it without messing something up. What you were doing now was messing something up in another timeline. But maybe it wouldn't be a bad thing.
"Alright, we're ready. We'll bring you back in five seconds, got it?" Bruce asked.
You and Steve nodded, but you knew he wasn't coming back. When you talked to him earlier, he was distracted. His eyes kept drifting to a picture of Peggy he had. He told you about how he saw her in 1970. It was only obvious what he wanted to do next.
"Steve," You called out.
"Yeah?" He looked over to you. He knew that you knew what he wanted to do. He hoped you wouldn't say anything though.
"I'm gonna miss you, buddy. I can't say I become close friends with every 90-year old super soldier I meet."
"Bucky and I are the only ones you know and you're friends with both of us." He grinned.
You laughed a little while turning towards Bruce. "Well, you're not wrong. Go for it, Bruce."
He pressed the final button, and you were sent flying through the quantum realm once more. It was time to bring everyone a little joy. You didn't tell Thor in case it didn't happen. Plus, it'd be nice to bring him a little surprise. Maybe it'll snap him out of it.
You were jerked back into place as you stood behind some rubble from a ship. When you looked out to the sides of it, you could see Thanos with an infinity stone. The Black Order was present with him, watching Loki's every move.
Loki was a different story. He was much older than when you had last seen him. It made sense, but it was certainly a change. Although something about this Loki made your blood boil slightly. This was the same Loki who lied about his death and became King of Asgard without letting you know. Well, not the same Loki, but another Loki who did the same thing to another you. Time travel and timelines are weird.
Your eyes drifted to behind Loki, seeing the Hulk nearby and off to the side. He was hurt, but not enough just yet. Your eyes widened when Loki opened his mouth.
"And for another, we have a Hulk."

Chapter 8: Nami
Alright, that’s enough resting on my laurels for getting through the first arc. It’s time to begin the next arc, Orange Town! I think this is where the series begins to get a bit deeper- in particular, the villains so far were very obviously villainous. Coming up, there’s characters who have a bit more grey morality, as well as plots that last much longer than a chapter or two... But first, I like the cover of this chapter, as well.
Luffy hanging out with these cute little panda-bird things, and Zoro being stoic as usual at them. A cute one. We’ve seen a few animals so far. They’re mainly in these cover pages, apart from that Sea King and Helmeppo’s dog, and this is, I think, the first one where the animals aren’t more realistic. One Piece reminds me a bit of Avatar: The Last Airbender, in that the wildlife tends to be a bit goofy and often mashes up existing animals. Anyway, onto the actual chapter.
The boys couldn’t use the one brain cell they share to navigate, and are lost and hungry. Turns out Zoro ended up at sea by following a pirate then getting lost, and bounty hunted to earn money. This is a slight spoiler, but One Piece is an old series, and a lot of characters have really classic anime traits. It’s been implied that Luffy eats a lot, like a classic shonen protagonist, but it turns out that Zoro has a cartoonishly bad sense of direction, Ryoga-from-Ranma 1/2-style. The boys agree: they need a navigator FAST.
Luffy really knows who he wants for his crew. It’s formed by his admiration of Shanks, but he had a very romantic, classical view of the pirate crew he wants to captain, and pirates in general. Does he get his cook and musician? Well, you’ll see. For now, food is a concern, and Luffy Gum-Gum Rockets himself up to a bird, because that’s what you do when you’re hungry: catch the first thing you see to eat.
Luffy gets caught instead, and now Zoro is rowing with all his strength (which is a lot) after the bird that kidnapped his captain. Suddenly, someone shouts out- there’s people who got shipwrecked in the middle of nowhere? Zoro rows through the middle of them at top speed, but they do manage to catch on- but they don’t seem too grateful...
Let’s see how that works out for them.
About how you would expect, really. The three jobbers tell Zoro how they got shipwrecked- they captured a merchant ship, when they saw a girl floating nearby in a boat.
They noticed her chest (of the treasure variety), and while they got on her boat and found it empty, she took theirs and sailed off. A dark cloud passed by, leading the girl to forecast a squall line bringing violent showers.
The forecast immediately becomes incredibly true. Like, she says there’ll be a storm, and the rain comes down. Does she have some ability to influence the weather? That’d come in handy at sea, for sure.
These jokers literally work for a clown, but not just any clown- one of the better known clowns, Buggy! He’s also eaten a devil fruit. The last two people Luffy beat were regular people, without abilities like his- maybe Buggy will be a better match. Meanwhile, elsewhere...
Now that’s useful. If the Grand Line is as hostile as people think, a map would be invaluable. Especially since the boys are completely clueless about sailing. Anyway, the girl with the map is being pursued by pirates, who also seem to be Buggy’s men, when the bird that has Luffy gets shot out of the sky. He’s fine, of course, but the girl takes his appearance as an opportunity.
She’s quick on her feet AND quick witted, setting up Luffy as a distraction. The pirates attack him, knocking off the straw hat.
CHU NK
Luffy chunks ‘em in seconds. Seriously, what a great impact. The way his nose flattens to the rest of his face, which is currently concave? Oda draws a good cartoony fight scene while still showing impact.
The girl reveals herself to be Nami. Her full title, which we don’t know yet, is ‘Cat Burglar’ Nami, to go along with ‘Straw Hat’ Luffy and ‘Pirate Hunter’ Zoro. She’s probably pretty important, seeing as the chapter is named after her and she’s on the volume cover art. Robbing pirates seems like a risky business, but she pulled off both cons she’s attempted so far. What could she be suggesting with a team up?

A blergh day
Right—first time I’m siting down for a proper update in a couple days (although I am surprised to note I didn’t really miss a day, despite the short updates. It’s a pleasant surprise, because even though I’m not working on making journaling a daily habit, I like habits. They’re nice, comforting and reassuring, so having some is always a plus to me), but I don’t think it’ll be a very long one either way.
Bit of warning: There’s a mention of gore in the second paragraph where I talk about Black Sails (it’s also a bit of a spoiler for season 2, in case you haven’t seen it). Fair warning, if you find that upsetting.
Today was mostly uneventful: students have started returning to class, although they still aren’t full by far, which means at least part of my classes have gone back to the program and I can start thinking about correcting essays again—yeah, honestly, I enjoyed a couple days of not thinking about that, knowing that my students wouldn’t worry about it either. I didn’t work with the kids’ class at all because only two out of six kids from Level 3 were present, so I couldn’t go ahead with the program, and I can’t decently have a group do work while the others are coloring or something like that so, we finished watching Kung Fu Panda and then moved on to the second opus of the trilogy.
(They asked for Spiderman: Into the Spider-Verse and honestly, I was tempted, but I don’t want to watch that movie for the first time in 10 to 30 minutes chunks, thank you very much.)
The good point being that my class is all set on Friday, and since the teens’ class has a cinema outing tomorrow, I’m on to a fairly light end of week, yay!
Honestly I’m glad it was a light day again though, because I’ve felt blegh most of the day. This is probably just the stress and sleep deprivation catching up with me, idk, but I just got stuck in this weird place where nothing is really all that enjoyable and you don’t quite feel like crying but you know you could easily get there...and of course, these are the days where everything seems worse than it is.
When ‘alright I probably could and should put a little more effort into learning khmer’ becomes ‘ugh why am I too lazy to actually learn the fucking language’ and ‘what if my colleagues and friends secretly resent or scorn me for not putting more effort into learning their language’ which then either goes into ‘seriously you’re giving them such a bad image in your head you’re a terrible person’ or ‘do they even like me anyway I feel like we never know what to talk about with them or where I stand and its probably my fault but they have to be feeling it’. And then there’s the fun moment when these two things combine.
I don’t know. I don’t know what, if anything, triggered this, or if I’m just overdue for an episode like this. For all I know my period starting could be at the start of it all which, if that’s the case a fucking ridiculous menstrual syndrome and whoever thought of that should be fired.
Oh well. I guess at least it was just a blergh day and not an outright depressed day so like. It could have been worse.
In different but not entirely unrelated news, I’m still watching Black Sails (moving on to episodes I’d never seen, now) and tonight I was forcibly reminded why I stopped watching: Ned Low, the captain that reaches Nassau at the beginning of season 2, freaks me out in his first few scenes. I’m fairly sure I stopped watching the first time around when he gets to his...shipmaster? Crewmaster? The name escapes me and I’m too lazy to look it up right now.
Anyway, Low finds that guy in Eleanor Guthrie’s inn, and you can tell it’s gonna be bad and then you keep watching after over a year of break and it turns out the guy gets decapitated with, essentially, a kitchen knife. In the middle of the inn, in the middle of the day.
And I mean, if that’s the worst that happens (it's not like it was as graphic as it could have been by far), well, it sucks and seeing it without warning freaked me out but I can handle it. My problem is, these things can and do go crescendo sometimes, especially in today’s television, and I’m a little worried of what more disturbing things will do to me, to be honest.
Oh well. I guess I’ll either find a trigger warnings list for the show or I’ll just brace myself and have supplies ready to soother myself in case of trouble x)

Burn it Down
Pairing: Ballins aka Finn Balor/Seth Rollins
Rating: T
Warnings: Seth’s potty mouth.
Author’s Note: To the undisputed Captain of the Ballins ship, Fred aka @artemidi on the day of their birth. Fred you brought me on board this ship and honestly through you and Ballins I’ve made a whole bunch of new friends so this silly little ball of fluff is for you. It’s a small token of how much I appreciate you and your friendship. Therefore in honor of you, in every Ballins fic I can fit it into…..March 7th will be their anniversary.
Finn unlocked the door to his Brooklyn apartment where he and Seth were spending their last bit of time off before the Wrestlemania insanity began.
“Honey, I’m home!” he called out kicking off his sneakers and putting his gym bag down. “In the - fucking shit damnit kitchen" Seth yelled, Finn sniffed the air moving quickly toward the kitchen “is that smoke?” Finn walked in just in time to see a plume of smoke billowing from his oven and Seth removing what looked like a large chunk of charcoal on a pan from inside it.
“Mo Chroi, are you okay?” Finn said as he walked to the kitchen window and opened it to air out the smoke. Seth tossed the pan into the sink with a clatter and turned toward his boyfriend with a pout on his face. “I was trying to make us a nice dinner for our anniversary.” Finn smiled and tried his hardest not to laugh “Babe, but you can’t cook.” His boyfriend made quite the picture wearing Finn’s Lego Batman apron with his hair in a messy bun. His boyfriend was a man of many, many talents, unfortunately cooking wasn’t one of them.
The last time Seth had tried his hand at cooking….well Finn hadn’t known eggs could do that. Over the last year that they’d been in a relationship Finn had to pay to have his poor kitchen repainted twice due to Seth’s forays into the culinary arts.
“Your Mom sent me a recipe, I must have misread it or something.” Seth sighed, then laughed. “I’m sorry sweetheart, me and your kitchen just don’t seem to mix.”
Finn wrapped his arms around his taller boyfriend’s waist and kissed him. “Come on Acushla, that isn’t at all why I’m with you or why I love you. Happy Anniversary” Seth immediately blushed. Something about Finn saying that he loved him with that accent never failed to make Seth blush. “I love you too, Babe Happy Anniversary” Seth whispered kissing him back. “Pizza?”
Finn laughed, a bright happy sound.
“Definitely Pizza, Mo Chroi”

#005 Secret Identity
Superheroing isn’t just about dressing up and punching people. A good chunk of it is that sure, maybe even most of it, but there’s also so much more. There’s also lots of kicking for example. But on a non-fighting track, putting on a mask or a cape or experimental body armor effectively splits your life in two. When you become a superhero you become two different people. One who wears their underwear over their pants and one who wears their underwear under their pants, where underwear belongs. It’s called underwear.
Maintaining a secret identity is important because if your enemies know who you really are all they have to do is look you up on the internet and then boom they know everything about you. The internet knows all! Allowing your enemies to discover who you really are is like writing them a letter saying:
Dear Supervillain, Attached is all the information you will ever need to make my life a living hell. You will find the names of all the people I cherish and hold dear. Feel free to murder them or hold them hostage. I would do anything to make sure no harm comes to them. Definitely exploit that. Additionally, I have provided a list of all the many places you can find me and catch me unawares. My favorite pizza place is a most excellent place to stage an ambush or surprise attack. I am literally never expecting to be attacked while eating pizza. You will also find a list of all my favorite things. TV shows, songs, movies, books, pasta recipes, species of fish. If you were to somehow destroy all of these things, that would certainly make my life a lot more miserable. I know how much you love making my life miserable. Also, feel free to send me a thousand invitations to play annoying mobile games. Fondly, Professor Paleontologist (PP for short) P.S. Wait! I almost forgot, here’s my address and phone number too! Feel free to sign me up for unwanted mailing lists or to prank call me at all hours of the night. Also be sure to subscribe to Supervillains Biweekly: The Biweekly Supervillain Magazine on my behalf! Ciao!
That’s right not only does Professor Paleontologist have a terrible name, he also keeps personal correspondence with his enemies and tells them all his secrets and his nickname is synonymous with urine. He is the worst. Don’t be like Professor Paleontologist kids!
Many superheroes aren’t content with simply removing their costumes when entering into civilian mode (civvie mode for you cool kids who like abbreviating things.) They hold themselves differently, alter their voices, wear fake tattoos, subscribe to different belief systems, subscribe to different magazines. Little extra things here and there that cement themselves as different people from their superheroic alter-ego. This way their friends and family (or the public at large if you’re one of those people that are easily recognizable by the public at large, if you are then hey cool celebrities read my blog) never get suspicious. In a perfect world nobody will ever be like “Hey, I’m sure you get this all the time but your voice sounds exactly like Captain Warhead, quick say something he would say like ‘Fear not citizens, I’ll save the day using nigh-lethal doses of nuclear radiation! Whattup!’ Man what a cool catchphrase. Hey I just noticed you don’t have any tattoos, just like Captain Warhead!” Well actually, I guess in a perfect world we wouldn’t need superheroes but I feel like you get what I’m saying here. The more distinctions you’re able to make between your super and secret identities the better.
For superheroes that are just ridiculously arrogant and forego wearing even the most minimal of masks, maintaining a secret identity can be a lot harder. You can’t just slap on a pair of glasses and call it a day. That would be ridiculous. People look almost exactly the same when they take off their glasses. That is not a good disguise. Nobody thinks a person who wears contact lenses is a different person when their dog accidentally(?) eats all their contact solution and they have to wear their embarrassingly bright pink backup pair of glasses to work. Nobody ever says “Hey random new employee, have you seen Sharon? She looks exactly like you but she doesn’t wear glasses, that’s how I know she’s a different person!” If you’re not going to wear a mask while being a superhero I’m going to have to suggest wearing a mask when you’re being a regular person. Preferably a ski-mask or balaclava type deal that covers your entire face. If you’re going to be a superhero, a significant portion of your face needs to be covered for some significant portion of your day!
Many superheroes don’t want to make a complete division between their superhero lives and their lame-boring-what-who-has-superpowers-definitely-not-me-that-would-be-so-craaaaazy lives. They want to still be able to do good whilst wearing dress shirts and fine slacks (or Hawaiian shirts and socks with crocs I don’t know how you dress). Or, at the very least, they want to be able to stay alert and informed of any situations that might require their superheroic assistance at a moment’s notice. That’s perfectly fine, laudable even, if that’s the case for you you should perhaps look for a job that allows you to do good like a doctor or a fireman or one of those guys who goes out and gives free haircuts to homeless people. However, many of these jobs are high profile or so important that you can’t just duck out any time there’s some superheroing that needs superdoing. For example, if you’re preforming life-saving surgery on a small child you definitely can’t leave just because a fifty-foot mutant panda keeps confusing telephone poles for giant bamboo stalks and is terrorizing the town and disrupting important phone calls! Or some other, more important, direr crisis. How many people’s lives would really be upended if a giant panda ate a telephone pole. Who even still has a landline. As long as he stays away from the cellphone towers I don’t really see a problem. Godspeed giant panda (for those wondering the giant panda’s name is Maurice.)
Superheroes need to be able to find a good work-heroism-life balance. You don’t want to devote so much time to one of those things that the others suffer as a result. You’re also going to need to make sure you have time so sleep. You don’t want to be all tired and cranky while fighting crime and you also don’t want to have to keep missing work because someone couldn’t save their own damn day. It’s important to still be able to function like a normal human being, so people don’t get sus (sus is short for suspicious that’s another one for all you abbreviation lovers.) To do this I suggest finding someone who can stop or control time, hit up all your super-colleagues, all your super-acquaintances anyone you can think of who might be able to help. If that doesn’t work then try finding a job that allows you to sleep, like a professional mattress tester, or a subject in some kind of sleeping experiments. Watch out for this one though, make sure these experiments aren’t being conducted by mad scientists (you should always be on the look out for mad scientists but especially, specifically now).
Having a secret identity can be hard work but it is very important to have one. The alternative is closing yourself off from people and never having friends or loved ones for your enemies to exploit, and that’s no way to live your life.

I'm not coming to 221B con.
Travel woes beneath the cut, if you want the long version.
My dad is retired airlines so I can fly standby. Generally for something major I might buy a ticket but since Atlanta is normally the easiest place for me to go, I figured I'd save money and just go standby. Which means I only get on the plane when there are seats left. Again, normally not a problem to and from Atlanta.
Enter Wednesday's terrible storms and airport closures.
There are two flights a day from here to Atlanta. I got to the airport at 11am to find the morning flight had been cancelled and the afternoon flight was delayed. 2:38 instead of 12:32. Okay a delay sucks but I can deal. Spent almost two hours in the check bag line because people who were supposed to leave that morning were trying to make arrangements. By the time I got to the gate the flight had been moved to 3:38 and they were giving us snacks and had brought in Panda Express for lunch. So that at least was nice. Finally started boarding. I waited for a seat assignment. Got on as the last person, but I had a seat. Yay.
Captain came on as everyone finished settling. "Sorry folks, Atlanta doesn't have a gate for us, we're going to have to delay a couple more hours, so we have to deplane." Collective groan. We got off. And waited. And waited. The flight was cancelled at about 6pm.
The pilot just couldn't stay on the clock long enough to get us there. We had a crew, a plane and good weather, just nowhere to park.
Went downstairs and got back in line to get my bag and see about rebooking. Texted with my dad to see if there was any flights anywhere, but because of all the delays and cancellations all the flights for Friday were overbooked - no room for standby. And going into Saturday too. I checked every major airport in Texas. Austin is closest, but Dallas, San Antonio, Houston.... no dice. And nowhere to land outside Atlanta either, thinking I could drive the rest of the way. I looked into renting a car, but that would have been a chunk of money and a 13.5 hour solo drive I don't think I could do. Bus would have taken 24 hours. Train was longer.
Finally got home last night after 10pm, after almost 12 hours in the airport going nowhere.
So I'm not coming. I'm bitterly disappointed about it. I might rent a car and just get out of town this weekend anyway, just to go somewhere. All I can do is hope for next year. At least I have a year to save?
