[long-live-astronerd-ghost-king]

DPXDC prompt. Granny al Ghul

Ra's al Ghul believed that there were no former members of the League of Assassins. Maddie understood that perfectly, but it didn’t make her any more prepared when she saw her father.

"Hey, are you my favorite sweet grandpa?" Danny, who noticed his mother freezing in fear after opening the door, immediately stood in front of her. "Want to hug?"

"It was you again! I know for sure." The head of the league hissed in anger. ''Get out!"

"But this is my house." Her son shrugged his shoulders and smiled in a strange snide way. "Do you want me to show you my room or do you want me to chew a cookie for you? You look totally senile. Even your feet can’t hold you."

Ra's Al Ghul was shaking with rage. "Don’t play dumb, I know you’ve been tinkering with water in my Lazarus pits." "They are part of the nature reserve of the Ghost Zone." Danny was rightly outraged. "Write your name on them even a hundred times, they will not be yours."

"But you’ll get a fine for vandalism. You’re lucky I didn’t report you to the authorities." Danny threatens grandpa with his finger. "But it’s only because we’re family, you know?" Ra's frowns but stops arguing. "Would you like a cup of tea?" Danny’s offering a truce. Ra's sighs. "Well, I wouldn't say no."

~~~~~

"Do you like your drink?" Danny asks, pouring grandpa more green tea with milk. "Disgusting." The head of the League of Assassins answers sincerely. "Good." Danny’s smiling like a gremlin. "Hey, do you want to see an album with photos of baby Danny, Ra's?" asks Jack, who doesn’t notice the tension around. "No." Maddie was sitting there with her eye twitching for the last 40 minutes. "I would like to see a family photo album, Madeline." Ra's, who saw an opportunity to embarrass his insolent grandson, did not want to lose it.

~~~~~

"For the last time, why should I participate in this abomination?" Ra's stared angrily at his grandson pushing him into the classroom.

"Come on, grandpa, you saw my photo from kindergarten with a piss on my pants." Danny looked at him, batting his eyelashes.

Ra's rolled his eyes."And why does it mean I have to join this circus?"

"We’re definitely family now! And I promised Mr. Lancer I will take on Career Day this year anyone but not mom or dad. I’m definitely not gonna call Vlad. So that leaves you." Danny pushed him again.

The guard at the Demon's Head got nervous, but Ra’s hand stopped him. "I did not agree."Grandpa moved one of the swords to Danny’s neck.

Fenton just brushed it off with a frown. "Come on, tell everyone a little bit about your plans for immortality and world domination. Maybe I’ll be interested in being your heir then. I promise to listen carefully!"

~~~~

"The most important thing in educating your minions is control. They must feel an absolute fear of your authority." The inspired Ra's continued his speech after the bell. Lancer was taking notes. Tucker looked at it.

"I don’t like it, guys. I stick to the good old-fashioned disciplinary measures, you know?" Techno geek whispered.

"Well, I’m totally fine with it." Danny, who had noticed that after a fascinating lecture about the most effective tortures Dash was sitting two desks further away from him, showed his grandfather fist with the thumb up.

~~~~

"I changed my mind, I’ll kill him." Danny roared, running around the stadium after his thirtieth lap. What idiot from the school board took his crazy grandfather’s advice about organizing extra fitness classes? Next to him Wes fell to the ground. "Do it, Phantom. Avenge us." The boy wheezed at the last breath. "No distractions, five more laps!" Ra's stood on the field with the hand fan. "This bastar-r-rd." Danny roared furiously. "What? My favorite grandson wants to run another ten? Well, I can’t say no, right, coach?" Demon's Head yelled.

~~~~

"You know, it is really nice to take a vacation sometimes. I feel an unprecedented surge of strength." Ra’s reached out to Mr. Lancer standing next to him. "Would you like to meet for coffee sometime?"

"How about Friday, around 7:00 p.m.?" Mr Lancer looked at his schedule. "No, I’m busy at this time." Ra's sighed with regret. "We have a ritual sacrifice scheduled for six p.m." "You have a great sense of humor, my friend." Mr. Lancer laughed. "Who knew Mr. Fenton had such an intriguing and well-read grandfather. You’re full of surprises, Mr al Ghul." ~~~~ Damian, sitting on the roof of Casper High, lays down his binoculars and sighs. "Yes, mother is right, grandfather finally lost his mind." "Well, I’m glad you noticed too." A voice filled with relief rang very close. "Who’s here?" Damian took out the katana. "Um, boo?" Void’s voice answered.

Soooo….y’all remember my sudden Appledash hype?

Yeah well..

I got inspiration from @marthalovesu to create my own version of these two!! Please go check her works out she’s amazing!! <3

I honestly could just see them as AJ and RD, feisty little gremlin with a big ego and a roughly honest cowboy who ends up bickering with him 24/7

Also I could DEFINITELY see Arthur do the tail bite thing that AJ always does to RD to stop her from doing sumn stupid

Octopath but make it Pokemon - Part 2 Electric boogaloo

special thanks to @musical-mastermind for the suggestions in the comments - I had no idea what to do for Theri and H’aanit lmao

>>>

So the gang make it out of Cobbleston after saying goodbye to Olberic's definitely-not-son Philip and end up stopping over in Sunshade, and nobody has a good time, because it's Sunshade Olberic's dad mode activated as soon as he saw seedy characters so he sticks next to Tressa and Kit the entire way While everyone else is looking around the trio spot a dancer from the tavern looking very much like she wants to murder someone cuz she's just muttering by herself suspiciously by a brazier like jesus Prim at least hide yourself a lil' better Olberic being the concerned citizen that he is asks about her situation and then the backstory cutscene happens He ends up covering Tressa and Kit's ears for half of it But the trio do offer to help Primrose look for the bastard crow so off to the Catacombs they go They come out the other side and oh SHIT Helginish has Primrose's best friend hostage And that's how Tressa and Kit witness their first murder. Olberic couldn't really cover their eyes for that one. This is also how Tressa and Kit become complicit IN murder for the first time, because really who the hell could blame Primrose THAT GUY WAS A B AS T A RD- It also turns out that the tavern Primrose works for doubles as a very rundown gym no one wants to challenge, so one extremely depressing burial for Yusufa later she shuffles through Helginish's pockets for the map and the gym badge and tosses it towards Kit Before she could stalk off on her own though they offer to let her travel with them, and she just sighs before challenging Kit to see if they're really up for it It being murder After a VERY grueling battle with Yusufa's Stenee and her million dancing moves as well as Prim's own stubborn as hell Azelhart-sanctioned Sand Rush Pupitar Kit finally wins and Primrose agrees to travel with them They had an EXTREMELY hard time trying to explain to Cyrus and Ophilia where all the blood and Kit's and Tressa's newfound trauma came from '…say, I hear Clearbrook has great fish cuisine-' 'sounds great let's go-' So they book it to Clearbrook and the change in scenery give Kit and Tressa much needed stress relief which may or may not have involved a water fight They suddenly notice that this one blonde guy looks like he's thinking really hard about something so Kit and Cyrus ask about it and to their collective relief they don't need to murder anyone Nobody tell them about Chapter 3 So they help out this Alfyn guy while Ophilia helps Tressa recuperate with fish cakes and church-sanctioned therapy back in the village They shive a snake, get the poison, and book it back to Alfyn's best friend's little sister, and everyone is a-okay They have a party in the tavern afterwards to celebrate this and when Kit steps out to get some air he accidentally walks in on what's probably the single most homoerotic exchange he's seen in his life when he finds Alfyn and Zeph on the bridge He REALLY couldn't look Alfyn in the eye when the apothecary challenged him the next morning for one last battle as the gym leader of Clearbrook so he can pass it on to Zeph It was hard to feel apologetic when Alfyn's Breloom kept using status moves And so did the rest of his Pokemon- One extremely grueling battle later they now have a very jolly doctor and it's off to Bolderfall they go To everyone's surprise Kit is actually very familiar with the place, so they're pretty comfortable letting him go off on his own Where he then meets a shady-looking gremlin at the foot of the stairway to Ravus manor, and when he asks him what he's doing he just tells him straight-up that he's about to raid it for treasure Kit's better judgment REALLY should have kicked in at that moment when there's literally guards outside But neither he and the thief really know how they both ended up helping each other walk around the mansion, and neither of them are about to start questioning this odd partnership Neither of them were gonna last very long without getting caught either so they face off against a somewhat familiar butler guy named Heathcote Who then proceeded to give Therion the most mcGuffin bangle to ever bangle, that Therion's extremely crafty Ninetales somehow can't burn its way through Now they're about to walk out of Bolderfall but everyone else catches them in the act when they went to see the sights and Tressa is immediately not cool with the thief 'Sorry, who's this... Sassy lost child?' 'My name is Tressa and I'll kick your ass in the name of commerce' They don't end up battling but Kit and Therion definitely do when Therion flashes the badge on them It turned out that Therion somehow has access to things like Choice Scarves and Life Orbs and Kit couldn't focus what with Tressa calculating the cost of each item in real time Therion is also not above Serene Grace Togekiss hacks, nor is he above Prankster Whimsicott strats Kit does eventually win this fight though and they go their separate ways Or so they think, because the group has since caught Therion trailing behind them on their way to S'waarki Where apparently some monster's been running around rampant and they meet a hunter lady who could only be halfway understood by both Olberic and Cyrus because what is Old English Scotty, for 500 Naturally they offer to help her out So they trek it into the forest where they find the monster that is DECIDEDLY not a Pokemon, what the ever-loving FUCK is that thing - a Ghisharma?? Sounds fake man get me outta here- They manage to kick its ass of course But nobody wants to talk about what the fuck it was they just fought, except H'aanit who is worringly used to dealing with random Eldritch horrors She offers Kit a gym battle when they get back, so they do that - and gods above H'aanit is a MERCILESS huntress who regularly employs trap strats Her Liepard is a feral thing that's very fond of using Pursuit They also learn that H'aanit uses Pokemon in the area and Kit was unfortunately horrible at dealing with Raticates that employ FEAR tactics He still wins of course but as soon as he gets his badge a Lycanroc pops out from the shadows H'aanit suspects that her master is in trouble, so she asks to tag along Naturally the group agrees, and hooray - they're a hella SIZABLE group >>> Tl;dr Primrose uses Dance and Weather Pokemon strats, Alfyn is a status condition abuser, Therion hacked the game ahead of time and got himself nifty meta competitive items, and H'aanit is a trapper who IS the meta idk how to continue this uhhhh I guess The Obsidians are the evil team and Mattias and Simeon are the Admins-

Kylo after 2nd vision -> wipes water off face-> water is real -> fist closes around it

Kylo after final vision -> Han Solo's dice -> dice disappear -> fist closes around it.

Here is Kylo, trying to destroy the past. But the the things haunting him are ghosts, they aren’t real. Even so they are real to him and the only way to get rid of them is by destroying them and himself. He isn’t very successful though, obviously he is still conflicted. I think he is starting to realise that obsessing over his past hurts are leading into his future ones. Now he is all alone, all the power, all the anger, but alone. This is his lowest point I believe.

Also, the dice disappear after Luke dies, but the force bond is still present after Snoke dies. One is real, the other is an illusion. i.e Snoke is a lying SoB.

Rules of Requests and Asks ( PLEASE READ )

What I WON’T Do/ I Ask You To Respect This List, Please

NO heavy lemons or anything overtly sexual. This is because of my own personal preference. I don’t mind innuendo, implied, or make out scenes leading up to the act, but I won’t be writing pornography on this blog anytime soon.

EDIT: I will do situations for character x reader, but I am limiting character x character to Eddie Cabot x Mr. Blonde and Mr. White x Mr. Orange. I’m sorry, I did put this in the original post, but my Tumblr has been acting funny and deleting random parts of my posts for some reason? To people who requested character x characters before this update, I will do them and fulfill that commitment to you because I did drop the ball.

NOTHING racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, or anything in general that is negative. I do use slurs like f****t in my writing, but I am not doing this to sensationalize or be intolerant. I am LGBTQ+ myself, so I do use those insults in joking and earnest. I will put trigger warnings for EVERY fanfic I do if needed.

NOTHING involving non consensual situations, underage scenarios, violence against minorities, or disgusting things like that.

Please understand that I have a course overload in college along with many other activities, so I might not get to requests immediately. This is not because I am ignoring you, nor it is it because I am ungrateful for your support or selfish. I apologize if that seemed arrogant, that was not how it was intended. I only meant to establish that ahead of time.

Difference Between Requests and Asks

As of this date—January 4th, 2023—my requests are CLOSED and asks are OPEN. Please only submit one at a time, following the guidelines I gave above. I should discern what the difference between the two are.

Here are examples of them. You don’t have to ask exactly what’s in them, these are just samples of how they should look:

REQUEST: Hi! Could I please request headcanons about Budd Sidewinder, Mia Wallace, and Mr. Orange in a friends to lovers situation, with a first kiss? ” ( you can pick dialogue to go with it too, and you don’t have to specify genre unless you absolutely want to )

ASK: Hello, what is your opinion of the theory that Pulp Fiction is the prequel/sequel to Reservoir Dogs?

Thank you so much for reading, and I look forward to hearing what you have to say! Happy New Year at this time of writing!

[stillness-in-green]

Check the MHA subreddit for the VA list for the MLA, some really good choices in there (posted 6 hours ago)!

I saw!! I'm excited!!!

Tragically, of the three characters I was particularly interested in--RD, Trumpet, and Geten--Geten's voice actor is the only one who's done things I know well enough to immediately call a voice to mind (IBO's Masahiro, natch). I thought it was telling, though, that while Yamashita has voiced a number of young men, he doesn't have a lot that jumps out at me as that very anime-style gender ambiguity--he's obviously not a Paku Romi or Megumi Ogata call. That tells me that we're getting an angry gremlin voice to match Geten's personality, not a pretty boy voice to match Geten's face. It doesn't matter much when Geten's in Parka Troll mode, but I'm much looking forward to seeing the dissonance when we get his face reveal.

I know of plenty of the work RD and Trumpet's VAs have done, but alas, I'm mostly in the realm of hunting down Youtube clips of their work in e.g. Tiger & Bunny or Toradora or the like there. (Though based solely on the "funny Kotetsu noises" video, Hiraka has got RD's dorky side in the bag.)

Anyway, yes, I'm very excited to finally get these, and even more excited to finally hear them properly, not all draped in shadow Because Spoilers. *continues crawling towards MVA, sighs*

(Sugita is really such a bizarre call for Skeptic. I never expected his voice to be that low. I'm waiting for him to go on one of his real tirades to fully decide, but just based on the scene with Hawks and Slidin' Go, I am....not 100% sold. XD)

Lubberkin

“Brownie Pirates” © Emperors Choice Games, by Mark Allen

[Commissioned by @crazytrain48​. The Arduin take on “brownies” runs far afield of their folkloric origins as house spirits. In fact, these little guys strike me as being a lot like kender ten years early--they’re larcenous brats that are charming to the characters and obnoxious for the players. Only unlike kender, these are written with the realization that they’re little shits. The original could charm by gaze as well as by touch, but I prefer the comic potential of one person being completely enamored with the nasty goblin while everyone else is baffled.

My replacement name comes from British fairy lore. “Lubber” is an old-fashioned word for a lazy person, and a lubberkin was a house spirit that preferred to sit by the fire rather than do any actual work. This struck me as appropriate for these little bandits. I also gave them the traditional folklore ability to disguise worthless junk as riches, in honor of all those fairy stories where someone makes off with fairy gold and gets nothing but a handful of leaves for their trouble. Trade! Trade!]

Lubberkin CR 3 CN Fey This tiny creature is fuzzy and vaguely man-shaped, with pointed ears, a pug nose and a mouthful of sharp teeth. It is dressed in mismatched, ostentatious fashion, and carries a little sword at its belt.

Lubberkin are like gremlins, in that they are fey beings that seemingly exist to mock a pursuit of civilization. Lubberkin are fey of trade and commerce, which they subvert endlessly through lies, illusions and charm. A creature touched by a lubberkin, whether through a handshake, hug or passing furtive contact, becomes utterly enraptured with the fuzzy little monster, seeing it as adorable and worthy of showering with praise and gifts. They delight in trade, but their trades are rarely even ones, and they can pass off lumps of mud and leaves as baubles of silver and gold. If they cannot get some treasure they desire despite their best efforts, they will try to steal it.

Lubberkin are less interested in violence than they are in acquisitions, but they will fight if they’re cornered or if their burglaries go wrong. They are surprisingly strong for their size, and most of them carry long curved blades. They are better at magic that physical violence, however, and usually try to knock foes out quickly with color spray or simply disappear with invisibility. They can teleport short distances, and use this to escape with their lives from losing encounters.

Lubberkin are attracted to places where people are, favoring trade hubs, major highways and ports. Some operate alone, whereas others cluster together in mockery of caravans, ships’ crews and other commercial operations. Most of these lubberkin try to cheat each other as readily as they do humanoids, and non-lethal fighting among them is common. Lubberkin love children and halflings, although some appear to be unable to tell the difference. They strongly dislike dour, no-nonsense types such as dwarves. They like the flavor of sour fruits, and may be enticed to aid an adventurer with nothing more than a good glass of lemonade.

A lubberkin stands between 1 ½ and 2 ½ feet tall. They like to show off their wealth with fine clothes and gems, and are especially fond of fancy shoes and slippers.

A creature that saves against this effect is immune to the charming touch of that lubberkin for the next 24 hours. A lubberkin can use this ability at will, but may not have more than three people charmed at a time—if it exceeds this limit, the target that has been charmed for the longest time is freed from the effect. This is a mind-influencing charm effect, and the save DC is Charisma based. False Goods (Su) Three times per day, a lubberkin can create a small object (of 1 lb or less) that is seemingly of great value. A creature interacting with the object must succeed a DC 15 Will save or believe it to be greatly valuable. A successful Appraise check, opposed by the lubberkin’s Bluff check, grants a +2 bonus on this saving throw. The object detects as nonmagical, as per a magic aura spell (CL 6th).  Success on a saving throw reveals the object is a forgery. The object becomes a pile of dead leaves, a stick or some other worthless natural object in 24 hours. This is an illusion effect, and the save DC is Charisma based.

[hoe-doroki]

A/N: Apparently I’ve started a whole series of election hell comfort fics. This is Aizawa, the 5th installment, and you also have: Deku, Shinsou, Kirishima, and Kaminari. American!Reader.

“It’s still happening,” you moaned, head in your hands. Still counting. Still too close to call. Still grating on your raw nerves with every loud lack of development. The television had been on for nearly 72 hours straight, save for whenever you left the house. Shouta insisted on turning the news off for that.You always turned it back on the moment you got back and Shouta always rolled his eyes, though he didn’t say anything.

“This is exactly what we’ve known was going to happen for weeks,” Shouta said, as he had been saying since November 3rd. “Almost everything has happened as predicted.”

It was the “almost” that was leaving the back of your throat bitter and tense, ready to gag. How had the polls gotten it so wrong again? After 2016, how was this happening again?

You were feeling good about the presidency. You—or Shouta, rather—weren’t letting yourself over think it. The presidency hadn’t been made official by anyone who mattered yet, but it was looking steady. Reliable. The things you’d been hungering for in the past four years.

But what about everything else? You were supposed to be taking the Senate. Winning two dozen seats in the House. Okay, that last one had been optimistic, but still. You weren’t supposed to be losing anything.

Yet, your boyfriend was calm. The angry gremlin on your shoulder was telling you that it was because he wasn’t American. He didn’t have the skin in the game that you had. But that wasn’t fair. You knew that whatever idiot choices your country made affected everyone else. You felt that weight heavily, as The American Friend to so many of the people in your life.

You’d slipped down to the floor. Whenever the stress started taking over, you would slip from the couch limb by limb until you spilled onto the carpet, wearing a blanket like a cape, rubbernecking toward the TV like it had gravitational pull.

Shouta thought nothing of it and joined you on the floor, joining the inside of your thick cape and pressing a kiss to your cheek. He rubbed your far shoulder and pulled you in close. “You knew this would take weeks for it to be really done. You knew that even the best case scenario wouldn’t be a cure all. That there would always be more work to do.”

“Knowing is different than experiencing.”

Shouta knew that firsthand. He had more life experience by age thirty-five than you’d had many times over. “It doesn’t make it much easier, does it?”

You shook your head, leaning your head onto his shoulder. He was wearing a black sweater that was soft and felt nice and plush against your cheek.

“But you know new things now. Some of those things are good.”

“Like what?”

“Change has happened,” Shouta said, his voice low and comforting. “Georgia is a swing state now. North Carolina will likely be more progressive next year than it was last year. Texas too. Arizona. Something has started in these places that can continue if they’re nurtured.”

You couldn’t believe how people around the world knew the names and orientations of different states. That so much of the world was intimate with the land you called your own. That everyone cared so much. That there were still exciting things to maybe be right about.

Things didn’t look better than you’d hoped. But it wasn’t worse either, per se. It was different. It was still—as it always would have been—what you would make of it.

The story wasn’t finished yet. Maybe that could be a comfort.
