❗️For commonly asked qs please see my BTD FAQ

I drew Demon Strade from memory and have absolutely 0 recollection how big he actually is lmao. Side note the subtitle for this in my head was "it's dangerous to go alone take this" except its not Strade saying it XDD)

Rire will put someone into any position he feels like (because honestly manoeuvrability is not a problem for him) so lets just say...a lot of them.

Would you even be able to reach his head lol

I would say that he mostly travels (as sometimes it also depends on who/what he's collecting and whether anyone is technically looking for him - ie did someone murder these people wth?). Keep in mind that one of Rire's powers is that he can, essentially, step sideways into a Gate in one country, navigate a void space for a few minutes/seconds, and then exit from another Gate somewhere in another country lol.

There's a bunch of different AUs/verses (because i like sticking my characs in them for fun) where he's technically an "ordinary guy" and to answer your question in ever single one of them he is in some position of power :d Eg: Headmaster, mafia boss, compound leader in a zombie apoc, high ranking military official, rich and popular college kid (this one somewhat debatable as BTD!College AU doesnt specify whether Rire is actually human or not XD) etc.

What has Saturn ever done for me? 🤌🏻

Check the bottom of this one :d

Every single Royal in the Nether is considered a dictator and Rire is no exception. His subjects consider him one of the more preferable ones because a) kind of leaves them alone for the most part, b) if he is inflicting terror on them/someone it's usually for a reason (as far as they know) and c) the economy has been doing great since he came into power.

You can consider Rire more of an...acquirer. Meaning that if he can't do something, he has an extensive network of people who owe him a favour or several that might be able to. Also loopholes exist hahahahah

If he's not exchanging for your soul, he's folding you into this network, that's how he works.

Rire's ego is not so big that he wouldn't be calculatively thinking about how best to exploit this |D

Oh yeh he def has servants to do a bunch of stuff for him! However, he has only been a Royal for a relatively short amount of time so he does actually know how to cook etc by himself if required.

Not a game but he will be plot B in a comic. As for being inserted into YKMET lore that's up to Gato XD

Warm tone gold type colours

Nah he heals pretty well. Also I feel like if he did get a serious enough wound that looked like it was going to scar then he'd use some sort of medical cream or whatever to make sure it didnt.

He'd be a little shit and vague about it ("oh somewhere quite far from here"), and if people keep trying to guess would literally give his Sector name from the Nether and later agree that it's in one of the random countries that were being guessed. Ah but so well hidden you won't be able to find it on a map, sure, try if you want.

Anon even i don't know in what context you are using this word lol.

The sense factor for this essentially 🫲🏻"is a demon (and a feeling of how powerful they might be)" and 🫱🏻 "is not a demon" which usually means a human lol. For your qs case, maybe only if said human was exceptionally powerful (so that the oddness registered as something "off" human) OR if they were using said power at the time (as happens with Battle Priests).

I haven't thought about a lot of things and i can clinically say that's one of them lol.

[yellowbluemoonshine]

Hi,

I see you finished Monster and are quite versed in Johan. Can you help me understand the depth of his character better? I feel like many people miss the point of it. Also I'd like to know why you like him so much.

Oh, there is so much to say about him but i will try to make it short as possible.

Lets Talk About Johan;

First of all, i heard his character as some 'evil' mastermind so i wasnt really interested in his character until i experience the story by myself. I wondered why this series is popular so i decided to give a chance. I tought Johan was like Afo (from Bnha) but he turn out to be a lot like Shigaraki lol.

What makes a character depth is if they are not one-dimensional, that there is a more than how they seem from surface. And Johan fits well since he is mysterious character who is seen as angel, monster, devil, basically anything but human but they end up failing to understand him because if he was so simple, police would've catch him a long time ago.

At the start of series, he seems like your usual dangerous serial killer which fits the psychological thriller theme of story. And one of the best thing in series is his connection with Tenma. A doctor saves his life and this dangerous killer starts to view him as parent figure. A killer who see no worth in life and the doctor who thinks every life is equal, especially saving Johan is the reason he starts to to be able to live his life as a real doctor. Only to learn the child whom he saved turn out to be serial killer.

Tenma feels responsible for this and goes to journey to kill Johan. During this journey, we aldo discover some hints of what made Johan the way he is. The irony is we get the hints and a lot of characters perspective of him, everyone except Johan.

Is his messages about 'the monster inside of him' serious or not? Tenma assumes Johan is enjoying this at first, then he assumes Johan has multiple personality disorder. And later when he talked with other doctor, he assumes Johan is just playing with him because thats what most serial killers do with police. This is interesting because all of those end up being wrong. Johan doesnt enjoy from killing people. Johan doesnt have DID. Johan didnt write those messages to play with them. We know this because we later learn that he is unconciously imitate the fairytale stories he read as child.

Meanwhile, he has fanclub. A lot of murderers admire Johan because they view him as destruction Buddha. Just like others, he is seen as monster but why though? Its not like he is the only killer in the world. And personally, a lot of characters are more 'evil' than him so the thing about Johan is; he treats human life as nothing. Not just other people but also himself. Thats what makes him so scary to everyone. He doesnt even do it out of joy, money, statue. He looks like the devil in human form. He spreads misery to world. (Thats why he burns library when they said "its humanity's treasure" LoL.)

To people, that is scary. When they look at Johan, his eyes, the see someone who has no identity (nameless world). They see someone who treats life like as a game. Which explains why many people are afraid of him.

Some also want to use him, such as they want him to make second Hitler and he is like 'Nope'.

I think the main reason i love Johan is that he is like a magician. He can create a beautifull illusion. He is someone who can touch people's hearths because how well he understands them. Which is why he is seen as angel when people dont know he kills people.

This is also why he can use other killers for himself. He can see their vulnerabilities. Because even a killer is still human and they might need acceptance, to be understood by someone. Johan can give it to them. And they wish they were like Johan because they think everything would be a lot easier for them to kill others, like some kind of edgy teens. They fail to understand the person they want to be is extremely miserable.

On other hand, Johan can use his skills with curing people. Such as him waking Suk's mother, he made her remember her son again. Though he does things with ulterior motives, same skills can be used for good things. He can make people happy or miserable by little things. With a little magic or just skill.

And even though he is villain, he has very relaxing voice. He is very elegant. He listens other people. This fits perfectly well with his manipulative character.

We also never know when he is sincere or not because when you think he doesnt he actually seem to care, such as when he cried for Karl. Apperantly, tears were real. He is always in his world, its so funny when you think about he is some kind of mastermind.

Also his interaction with kids is so interesting. I think he geniuely enjoys being around them. Otherwise, why would he bother to spend time with them, why would he know so much about child's rights, why would he look for picture book for a friend? This is the same guy who encourage kids to rooftop game (and the scene where he was projecting on Milos) which is messed up. It gives me chills. His nihisilism, him viewing life as game end up resulting him expressing love as twisted.

----

Later, everything changes when Johan finds certain book in library. Basically, Johan's character doesnt necessarely stay same during the series. He changes his motives from unconciously imitating nameless monster stories to find actual monster who ruined his life. Even though he does messed up things, everything about his character makes sense with that scene. Johan geniuely believed that he is nameless monster. Johan geniuely believed that he doesnt exist.

Everything about him makes sense because it explains why he doesnt think death as much of it. Because if someone doesnt exist, they cant be killed. If someone doesnt exist, they cant be responsible for killings. He is detached from reality. Its not that he didnt feel. Its that he doesnt view it as real the way other people does. Because Johan isnt there. This is the tragedy of Johan's story. He doesnt have name. He doesnt have identity. He feels as he doesnt exist.

The famous 'monster' tape everyone after is about a child unable to see the difference between fairytale story and reality. 'My name is Johan. My name is Thomas. My name is Hans. My name is Otto.' He is them but he is neither of them. Johan views Anna as his half, as Anna is the real one and he is fake copy. He killed people as child, not because he is evil but because he geniuely thought that monster is coming after them. He cant even separate his own memories from Anna's. He takes all bad memories both to protect Anna and other reason is to become someone. He wanted to have identity, he wanted to live so bad but he didnt have on his own so he took it from others, just like the nameless monster.

This is also why Johan is also affected by Tenma's saving him. He probably wondered Tenma wouldnt save him, if he knew he was monster. He was kinda right because Tenma regretted his decision but he was wrong because Tenma couldnt shoot him and he saved him the second time. He showed him that he has right to live, he has right to exist, and that he has a name so he is not monster. This is why Johan can open up his worst insecurities. And they really give father-son energy and i think thats cute. I am glad that even after years Tenma visists him at hospital.

And we can guess what happened at the end thanks to Grimmer (one of the characters who deserves better), 'The monster become human at the end'. and Lunge said that if he were not a human being, he would not leave a trace, only humans leave a trace. For the first time we see Johan leave his mark. So Johan is no longer a monster, just a human. Also, his real name doesnt matter, he is Johan to us/all.

I love the messages of story. There is a monster inside all of us, but we can contain/heal it and after all, we are all human, our lives are equally valuable and stealing a person's name is the biggest crime, so having a name is very important. Story still has certain writing issues but generally, it is good story. Johan is well written character because his story is such a journey. We cant even really appreaciate the story without fully understand Johan. Every scene he is in meaningfull. And personally, i think his story is very empathic because of how tragic he is. Also sometimes he looks so funny and weird which makes him entertaining. He is such a good character.

Though you are right, anon. Many people still misinterpret the story, especially his character but anyway, there are still people who makes great analysis about him. Such as this analysis made by @cyanogoth.

Its ironic that most/some main villains have the most interesting and sempathic backstories, even though they are supposed to be 'big evil' or something but in reality, they are not really.

Anyway, he is fun to think about, i love him, lol.

[midnight--sadness]

So I know how people tend to make Sang-woo and In-ho compete for Gi-hun’s affection which is very hot! but I’ve always wondered what it would be like if In-ho and Sang-woo became friends first and then decided to just team up and share Gi-hun! This wouldn’t really happen in canon verse but in an AU where they meet while Sang-woo is working in Yeouido financial district and In-ho is a detective at Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, before In-ho meets his eventual wife. And then they become friends because they have shared interests and those interests include Gi-hun…

maybe In-ho still meets his wife, and Sang-woo even attends their wedding… and In-ho still goes to the games because he refuses to let Sang-woo help him financially beyond a point or maybe Sang-woo is also in financial trouble and can’t help much.. and then after the games, Sang-woo also forces In-ho to meet up/ hang out occasionally to keep him less depressed! And then post-divorce Gi-hun, who’s entering his ho phase, hooks up with In-ho at a bar and then starts dating him seriously and they both realize that they are mutual friends with Sang-woo, when they meet him for dinner. And then, drama!

Sang-woo realizes In-ho is serious about things with Gi-hun and doesn’t want to mess up In-ho’s second chance at happiness so he decides to keep Gi-hun at a distance. Gi-hun is super happy they can all be friends but then he’s also lowkey jealous/ upset that Sang-woo replaced him with a more cultured bestie and is still avoiding him. And In-ho realizes that Gi-hun was the person Sang-woo left behind that he could never confess to. so, In-ho he tells Gi-hun the truth that Sang-woo likes him and encourages him to be with Sang-woo instead because he’s a less messed up option.

And Gi-hun is all “WTF?! they both like me? Me?! Now what do I do? Shit I don’t want to ruin their friendship! And I love them both too much to hurt either of them…” so, he calls and asks Jung-bae for advice and Jung-bae is all “both! why not do them both?!”

And then Gi-hun suggests that they can share him, gets a hella awesome three-way that rocks the socks out of all of them and they become a power throuple! Their moms all hang out together and become close friends too… And Ga-yeong ends up with 4 dads 😅 while Jun-ho gets 3 hyungs, who’d all be extremely overprotective and suspicious about whoever dates either of them.

THIS IS AMAZING, OMG, YOU ARE A GENIUS!!!! 😩😩🤧🤧🙏

sangwoo would be so jealous of inho for actually bagging gihun, and gihun would be jealous of inho bc he's so much smarter than gihun and can keep up with sangwoo, and inho would be so jealous of sangwoo bc he can take gihun away from him in no time....

and then, our lord and savior, park jungbae descends from the heavens to give us the immortal words: "boaf" 😌

the first time they all have sex would be so intense and rough, i dont think any of them would be tender at all djkfvfejk like they dont want to hurt gihun so they're careful, but nothing is gonna tear them away from him. good thing that gihun likes the bruises 🙌

god, i didnt know i could love the idea of inho and sangwoo being friends first and trying to be noble and "give" gihun to the other but then them all ending up in bed together...... anon, your brain is huge and beautiful!!! 💞

[tulipanthousa]

if you dont mind me asking, in the ping verse, was the lamp smut all of their first times? i imagine that growing up the way they did and then becoming peacekeepers that serious relationships would have been difficult, but did any of them have previous relationships or just experience hooking up? did any of lamp hook up with eachother at all before their relationship?

it was not AMP's first time but it was Logan's - all the dark sides have done sex work before, and AMP have engaged in casual hookups, which as you stated were the only thing really available.

the keepers social lives were pretty stunted by their not being permitted to really interact with the public (citing 'security' but really just regular abusive isolation) but they were permitted a few hours of 'recreational time' per week and would go out together. they were a sort of cryptid trio at one specific trivia night pub

Logan however ran into the same issue he had in Friends to a T ie he's been stealth so long that he doesnt really like. know how to come out. it makes him feel awkward and weird because for him (personally! obvi not a universal trans experience) it is so Not A Big Deal, and finding hookup partners who also consider transness a non-issue unworthy of even comment is kind of a crapshoot

im not sure if im getting across what i mean but like - logan would view, say, putting that he was a trans man in his chitter bio in the same way i view putting triggers or health diagnoses in your bio. like yes, you can, and you should be allowed to do so if you want, but why would i hand you ammunition to be a dick to me before even speaking to you? he just really doesnt think its anyone's business

so in the context of hooking up in a club or bar, where (especially cis) people almost always expect you to state your trans status right off the bat or they'll accuse you of trying to trick them, Logan just didnt think the trade-off was worth it

i have like 40% of a plan for a Logan coming out to AMP fic, but i think i'd like to get ECTGIR done first. but i also intend for it to be relatively lighthearted, so i may post it in between ECTGIR chapters as one of the fluff chasers like Friends to a T or Salt of the Earth. not sure yet, but look out for it!

Red and her family

MT (her favorite cousin, a nicknamer)

 I'm thinking she might be of native descent (though whether it's registered is another matter) So she and Red don't look all that similar, and in case I do a willow bark AU it makes sense for her to have inherited characteristics

Well, she's shorter than Red, (reds parents were tall people) like maybe 5'8. She has dark brown hair and light brown eyes. She gets pretty annoyed at people assuming that she's not related to red, because of her skin, which later is echoed with Red being able to act super offended at anyone who doesn't believe Desmond is her cousin or whatever excuse she's giving.

She's well muscled from her training, prefers to wear warmer coloured shirts, contrasting Reds cool coulors.

She has very nice teeth and has previously worn braces.

She doesn't need a prescription, but wears sunglasses often

Her counterpart meanwhile, is 5'9 didn't turn out to need braces because his mouth didn't have extra teeth,  has lighter hair and skin then she does (taking more after mom in most verses), but startlingly dark eyes.

He's not as muscular as his not twin, but he's not in bad shape, and once impersonated her for a prank when he was younger.

He's growing a beard, and his hair long, in an effort to be less mistaken as her (is everyone colour blind mom? Probably)3

---

Red and her mom

--

Yah, Desmond would probably want to flee the blast radius, along with any other unfourtunate people there.

They can come to an agreement, but its super tense.

Its still better then Reds current relationship with her father (almost non exsistant, due to both sides not keeping in much contact for years).

But like

"Ah. Mother. How is Father these days?"

"Well enough. You would know If you came home occasionaly Carnelian"

"I dont go by that. And we both know its not me he would seek out, even if I were there"

"You know I'm not in the habit of useing nicknames, Carnelian. You are going to have to tell him your not dead sometime?"

" I dont see that it would make much of a diffrance to him. Never mind, that I didnt come here for small talk."

"Always looking for something, Carnelian. Well, spit it out"

Their manerisims durring this "chat" are remarkably similar. Though Red has her fathers colouring, you can see the similarities here.

Reds mother taught her (was teaching her) Greek, back in the day. Apparantly for buisness reasons, and that Red might as well learn a diffrent alphabet style while shes young.

She will, at one point in the story, cacth up with MT, and some others in her faimly. Its going to involve a lot of yelling (after all, you wernt actually dead, is a hell of a thing to learn, but at this point Reds used to it)

"Get up Jazz"

Cold fingers dug under the blanket, and poked his stomach.

"Nooo" he moaned into his pillow, trying to hold the blankets in place.

The fingers were relentless. Not satisfied with poking him, they began to tickle him.

"You are a terrible person" He told her. "I hope you know that, petite soeur."

She poked him again for that one.

"Alright, alright, I'm up. Do you even sleep? Or are you powered by evil, and no longer need sleep."

"I'm powered by chocolate"

"I accept any and all offerings of chocolate. Except dark."

"Come on. We have to set up, if we want to win fight."

"It's a snowball fight."

"It is as serious as a blood feud. We must give no quarter, to the kids from the west!"

"It's too early for your dramatics!"

"I'll put snow in your bed."

She would. He knew from experience.

Sluggishly, he got up, and went to go see what was for breakfast

---

Family prefrences (sick food)

Red likes tomato soup, and when she's feeling more like solids, she likes grilled cheese with it.

Jasper likes Pea soup, and toast. So does his mom, but she makes dumplings with it. His dad, likes pho.

Monique likes Beef and Barley stew, and homemade buns.

Alyssa likes miso soup.

Rae likes squash, or chowder.

David likes porridge with honey,  his wife asks for, hot and sour soup.

When they are sick, they have Lemon and honey tea. It's family tradition. Some thought Red and Jazes mom would protest, but her parents go to sick tea involved vinegar, and nope, not doing that.

The Ryan siblings and Alyssa, seem to share a preference.

Backstory

Sevika had a rough childhood, she was the oldest of five siblings. His mother always tried to take in orphans from the streets of Zaun knowing the trouble they'd be in. Sevika always looked out for them when she was a kid, taking care of them, bailing them out of trouble. Her mom wasn't around much and usually left him alone with the kids and his father. It wasn't until later in his life did she find out her mother was a brothel worker. Sevika had one blood brother Bhisaj. Sevika is about 4 years older than, Bhi/Bee which was her nickname for him. Sevika's father used to come home drunk, often taking any emotions he had out on Sevika. They got into fights because he like to nitpick and scare the orphans, threaten them and so on. Sevika got into fights with him, since he learned how to fight feeling extremely protective of those he cares about. He didnt know what her father did while he was away, but was glad he was gone. He was angry, overbearing, narcasstic and cruel. Their mother had been absent most of their childhoods. Unfortunetly one day her mother never came back home. When Sevika was 17 and Bee was 14 there was a raid on her house and she tried to take the kids outsite, enforcers barrelled in and thats when Sevika found out his dad worked in the mines and stole a whole bunch of product that was supposed to go to piltover to make money. The only kid she could bring out was Bhisaj. He made it back to the house forcing her brother to stay hidden, she found all of her families bodies and stacks of shimmer, and a note in her fathers drawer. He just wanted to sell the stuff so they could leave Zaun, so that they didnt have to live like this anymore. Sevika always felt a need to protect his brother from the harsh truths, Their father, rumors of the undercity, deep seeded corruption within the council, instead shed tell him stories about Lonia, about the History. Especially medieval books he could get his hands on, Knights, dragons magic. The works.

Sevika already knew how to steal, how to fight. Bee tought her how to stitch herself, what to do for certain injuries, the Sev finally tought him how to fight, however much a natural he was. He hated fighting. They grew up on the streets of the Undercity, Sev was feircly protective of her brother, and she was known for his uppercut. They were living the life, stealing and enjoying the loot. They made a decent amount of money, especially when Sevika learned how to gamble and cheat. He tended to sleep around and flirt, drink, go to parties and his brother trailing right behind her. His hands were messed up, she has permenant boxers knuckles, she also had a torn ligament in her left bicep that is gone thanks the the mechinical arm.

Bee stayed with her until she was about 24ish and him 20ish, both of them joining the hound of the Underground, Sevika already on a fast track to become Vanders second. Sevika having already made a name for herself in the undercity. Her face wasnt known, as it is now. People didnt cross the street when she walked down it. Bee was an exceptional healer at this point in time, Sevika training everyday, working out. Picking fights, Shed already started smoking (ciggerettes/weed and cigars- that an alcohol were no stranger to her) When she was 27 and Bee was 23, it was the day Vander led them topside across the bridge, fighting enforcers. Bee died up there while she was being overun by a couple of enforcers, Bhisaj had been there too right by Sevikas side, he truly beleived in Sevika's vision and wanted to fight with him despite protests and bitching coming from his sister, Except Bee didnt make it out he had gotten killed by Enforcers in front of Sevika. Thats when Sevika no longer beleived in the Hound of the underground, loosing much respect for him. The kids not helping their situation at all, he got to watch and even participate in Vanders little makeshift family. While her own wouldnt be avenged. While her family died for nothing, resentment grew. Towards Vi who Sev helped teach to fight, to Claggor who sat with her both of them tinkering with random things theyd found. With Mylo who shed tought to picklocks and pickpocket.

Sev got to play family for a bit, before they fucked everything up. Just like their father. He had met Silco before, Vander had told him stories in the past, before she heard some narly little rumors the man was skulking back. Silco and Sevika made a deal, Sev promising her unwavering loyalty as of now Silco was the only hope of Freedom for Zaun.

Headcanons

Okay so Sevika is bigender, she’ll refer to herself as the man or sir, amongst other masculine honorifics while not feeling very attached to masculinity. He however feels less connected to femininity, often forgetting many of her feminine features.He binds alot, wrapping ace bandages around his chest, to appear more masculine. Although he still preffers she and “woman” As much as she prefers women, and does consider himself “wlw” she does have very few and rare expectations to men. (Silco and a friend’s OC) He doesn’t date much, it takes a lot for her to get platonically involved nevermind romantically. Not only has she had bad experiences and bad exes, her parents had a horrible relationship as well. She hates vulnerability and simply doesnt have time for personal relationships. Plus if he ever did that means he'd try to protect them and refuse to date them.

She doesn’t respect or like many people but those who earn it. Nowadays drinking and smoking isnt all that Sevika participates in, occasionally partaking in recreational shimmer use not often though, seeing as silco had a special potency for her arm that shot her up each time she used it. Sev bottles her emotions, often drinking or smoking away most of his problems. Wake up drink, go to bed smoke. Can’t sleep? both! She can’t sleep without alcohol in her system, and often can’t sleep in general. She mostly stares at her ceiling at night smoking.

He’s very arrogant, she thinks herself unbeatable and aims to prove it. She hates enforcers. She hates piltover, he hates those who speak nothing but empty promises but most of all he hates weakness. Finding comfort in her strength and what would be considered a “dark side”. People who don’t fear her, walking or talking to her boldly gain a little amount of respect. Forgetting shes equal to them (for the most part). But they tend to lose her respect very fast. She used to hate having to fight all the time, but enjoys it now. The sight of blood. The smell of iron, and sweat and in an instant the rebelling is over. He also used to be very into history, when she was in her teens, she especially loved the ideas of knights, fighting off anyone to oppose the king. Fighting evil and corruption. And that’s how she sees her self and knight at the rulers side. But she’s just a little more twisted than most knights in shining armor, as he is both the knight and the beast they were sent to slay.Sev cared about Silco as she had cared about Vander and so far only Silco and Vander had been able to earn her respect. Who’s next?

SEVIKA'S SHIMMER LORE

After the explosion where he had lost her arm, magical blue scars covered her cheek, his left shoulder, and down the left side of her ribcage/chest and curved into her back and stomach a little. These scars are extremely sensitive and painful. But since he’s used to pain, it’s not overwhelming. In the weeks before Sevika got her replacement arm, he was told she had to keep the wound fresh and covered. This meant he’d have to take doses of shimmer. His body reacted the same way others did, although she wasn’t addicted per say. She did have those urges to continue using and tended to want to use it more or to use it for fun and so on. Often finding herself having to force her thoughts away from shimmer by starting fights, drinking and smoking, going to the brothel, clubs etc etc. It took about a month for them to get her the robotic replacement. Luckily her body was used to shimmer by then so the arms doses of of it didn’t have many negative side effects. She has a high tolerance to most drugs/alcohol so an average amount of shimmer doesn’t make her go apeshit. Using shimmer has the effects of normal usage; super strength, his veins and eye glow pink and so on. He doesn’t have any mutations; unless we use her mutated verse!

Chara, the fourth Blook cousin:

A crack theory that accidentally become way more serious than it should have because it somehow, despite my best efforts, ended up making sense

Brought to you by my idiot conspiracy brain (affectionate) and by encouragement from my Tumblr followers

Under the cut for the sake of your dashes and sanity

Ok here we go my very elaborate accidental theory, because in order to answer the complex questions simply you must first make simple things more complex or something

First, you need to know that Chara became a Blook cousin by adoption.

All of the Blooks are adopted.

Ghosts are not born into families, they make their own.

Got it? Great, because we’re about to start running

so first, im gonna make surprisingly uncommon claim in this fandom, and I am going to say that undertale ghosts are all dead

I’m taking the tiny details we know about ghosts and sprinting with them to new places

Ghosts also do not have souls I decided

Undertale souls do not work the same as souls in traditional mythology

So every ghost is soulless Unless and Until they become corporeal

Evidence: Monster souls cant exist without bodies, and ghosts are monsters, therefore ghosts cannot have souls without bodies

Further evidence: Asriel doesnt steal blooky’s soul, blooky is unkillable, we have no concrete evidence that blooky has a soul

What about mettaton? He only has a soul after he has completely committed to being corporeal and to a specific body.

Also maddy and mettaton are both only killable while corporeal

Im also connecting the dots we have about souls in a new creative way so let me live for a second

Additionally, i am going to claim that there are a lot more ghosts than just the blooks, some evidence given below

Theres like actual scientific knowlege of ghosts in the undertale verse which seems unlikely if theres literally only three or four

The underground is so much bigger than you think, theres that giant forest in snowdin, a large town in the ruins, the huge city of new home, who knows how much space in the large open areas of waterfall etc. Its really really big okay

Also based off evidence of blooky, we can conclude that ghosts can turn invisible whenever they want to and/or haunt objects to hide

So I personally think that ghosts are, generally speaking, extremely reclusive

And the blooks are just a special exception, a beautiful family, amazing for them

So anyway im going with typical ghost lore for now, for the sake of ease, so im gonna say ghosts generally come from monsters who are particularly restless or unsatisfied when they die

HOWEVER i dont think they remember being monsters or anything before being a ghost. They just kinda fizzle into existance with a fully formed personality and immortality while being unkillable and feeling vaguely uneasy

ALSO i personally think that chara was a ghost for a long time before they became a blook by adoption

Based on game lore, i think ghosts can possess any inanimate object and just kinda wear it? But it takes a lot of strong emotion to become corporeal

And chara is the super weird exception because they were a human not a monster.

They dont have a soul (i headcanon that their soul got destroyed when asriel died)

And they KNOW this, which is a huge part of why they kinda just... give up

Because they lost their ability to fulfill prophecy

Also, without a soul, they lost their ability to reset, so for the first time since falling underground, theyre subject to the relentless march of time

But theyre still weirdly strong and powerful and more emotional

ALSO they DO still remember being a human but they catch on pretty quickly that other ghosts dont have memories and because chara is stupid they just lie to fit in

Theyre too tired to explain themself, they just want to be alone and feel awful

Now back to ghost lore

Emotions are a lot harder for ghosts??? I decided

And they dont know why,, they tend to blame it on the soul thing

But realistically its actually more of the immortality thing making actions not have consequences and/or or not having a body so they cant have a sense of touch or have physical effects of emotion

They all know that ghosts just tend to be way more floaty and bored and numb

And thats part of why the blooks are so special

Maddy’s rage and Mettaton’s yearning and Napstablook’s misery are like... not great all of the time...

but theyre also way way more emotion than most ghosts have,,, they are just a family supporting each other, being as functional as they can,, just an emo(tional) ghost family

most ghosts barely do anything except like stare at walls but the blooks have their snail farm and that helps them have purpose and it is good

And they hold each other accountable and it is nice

So anyway chara just chills and is in a depression coma for a few decades before the blooks find them and are like “our child/baby cousin”

and they raise them for a cool minute

They are all very protective of the new baby emo blook

And chara doesnt get therapy but at the very least they once again have a family, and they decide they want to try to become corporeal eventually just like mtt and maddy

So anyway chara starts hanging out in the ruins a lot more and they finally tell the blooks theyre leaving to go become corporeal in the ruins

This is actually because they are trying to hang out with toriel

because they miss their mom ;;

but chara’s not gonna admit that to anyone, especially not to themself

And because theyre still repressing their emotions constantly and pretending to be fine, they cant become corporeal

And they hang out in the ruins for a long time because they feel guilty lying to everyone about everything

They still feel like its their fault that all the monsters are stuck underground, because they were SUPPOSED to save everyone and they COULDNT and it HURTS

But again, they are doing too much repression to use this guilt to become corporeal,

so instead they just kinda hide and watch toriel from a distance and cry

Blooky visits them the most, thats why blooky is chilling in the ruins so much at the start of the game

Theyre just there to visit their shy baby cousin ;;

Ofc they wont tell frisk about this because chara wants space and privacy and blooky respects that

but maddy and mtt also visit them a lot

Oh also when mtt and maddy start dissapearing, blookys mental health plummets as their family and support system starts to dissolve

Blooky was actually doing extremely well (for a ghost) for a long time, i headcanon,

but theyre doing the worst theyve been in a long long time during the game, because of family issues

So anyway, chara dissapears when frisk shows up, and maddy assumes this is becaude frisk hurt their fragile feelings

Maddy spends hours desperately searching the ruins for chara and cant find them and assumes that they had their heart crushed and went to hide and disappear in a depression coma for another few decades, and thats part of why maddy is so furious with frisk

Like,, to be clear, maddy is still jumping to conclusions and throwing blame around with no proof, but also, its a logical conclusion to come to

And mettaton has already disappeared too and been gone for a while, too, by this point, so it hurts even worse

But anyway, what actually happened to chara is that;

Because chara is a human ghost, not a monster ghost, normal ghost rules dont apply to them

And they can possess living things too they find out

Maybe they knew it a long time ago, maybe its a new discovery, but for whatever reason they end up possessing frisk and theyre like “what the heck”

And frisk still has most of the control

But now chara is like,,, “this is my chance, im a human again, gotta save the world for real,,,”

and they cant explain this to anyone without revealing their past

so they just chill in frisk’s mind while being super crypic and trying to figure out how it works

Pacifist route, this is pretty much exactly what happens

They manage to help frisk save the day

And in my headcanon, the no mercy route is started by frisk who is scared when faced by monsters attacking them

And then chara, who was aready hiding in a semidepression coma for a while, immediately transitions to a panicked “gotta protect this body, gotta protect my chance to be human, i died and threw away my chance to save everyone the first time, i CANNOT lose this chance again”

And so the combination of both frisk and chara is the genocide run

Because frisk kills in self defense, and whenever frisk hesitates, chara jumps in

Also theres leftover feelings from the whole asriel incident

Because again, ghosts come from monsters who died unsatisfied

And chara’s main source of unsatisfaction is how they were trying to get asriel to kill people before he died and then he didnt

So thats a strong strong feeling ruling them

So anyway by the time they both realize how bad its become they figure its too late and also the amount of LOVE has made them numb

And thats when chara who, despite everything, still has idiot hero complex and thinks they need to save the world

So, while panicking, they step in at the very end, and erase the timeline and delete everything

And also to clarify

They DONT HAVE this power at any other point in the game

Because, guess why

They become corporeal

Just like maddy, the no mercy route is the only thing that gives them strong enough emotion to spontaneously become corporeal

So they become corporeal and as soon as they have a soul again and can reset again, they just erase everything

Ok back to fluff

Post pacifist route, they are still a non corporeal ghost

They can still float around and look just like the other blooks

And it takes them a while to open up about things, but they do end up moving back in with blooky so that blooky isnt completely alone

And also they do way better with a family

Also they can float through the mountain and talk to flowey down below and bring him news

And now that they know about him, they can bond with him and explain that they dont have a soul either but that doesnt mean theyre worthless

Oh ALSO

The other dead humans dont have ghosts

BECAUSE

ghosts only come from restless dead MONSTERS

and chara is the weird special exception

Because they were a monster when they died

They became a ghost and asriel didnt because they were way more restless and stressed than asriel was when both of them died

Like sure, asriel felt awful, but chara was the one who was way more like “this is my fault, i CANT die now, the world NEEDS me”

So anyway

charablook the emo tween ghost and asriel flowey the eldrich goat daisy are siblings once more and they hang out and eventually they are okay and have a family again

Thank you for reading, this has been my thoughts on a crack theory that accidentally went too far

This isnt even everything, maybe i’ll make a part two eventually, but i promised to have this post out like two days ago, so i wanted to post SOMTHING

Anyway leave your thoughts if youd like

Im not looking for people to disprove it, i already know its crazy, i dont think it was intentional by the game writers, but i do think its a fun concept

thats the fun of it, so if anyone wants to run with it im all for it lol

Thanks again! Have a nice day!

[bts-hyperfixation]

So you know how in fanfics Y/N is always into whatever *insert member's name here* wants to do? I've always wanted to pick someone's brain on what are the kinks the boys are hard no's to both being done to them or absolutely don't want to do to their partner. Who do you think has the emotional maturity to deal well with having their partner tell them a hard no to a kink they really like and who doesn't? I don't think any of them would push it past the consent line or anything like that, but from real life experience, some people handle it better than others. Example: I won't humiliate or degrade someone and on the very rare occasions I sub, I am a hard no for receiving it too. I'd love to say everyone in my past has been gracious about my limits, but that's not real life and I have had to be firm a few times.

So, inquiring minds and all that, how do you think this plays out in BTS-Land?

🌹

See I'd like to think they all have the emotional maturity to deal with it well but it's just not gonna be the case is it.

Personally I think Namjoon would be willing to try a lot of things to make his partner happy anything once kinda guy but I see him opposing full on violence, your more serious blade kinks etc. I think he'd be willing to Let go of things he really enjoys but he'd at least want you to think about it maybe research it. He'd be disappointed but it wouldn't be a dealbreaker

Jin we are fairly certain from some of the things he had said over the years he is pretty subby. I think he'd really struggle engaging in Degradation. But I think you maybe be the most mature if not the 2nd most mature when taking into account his own kinks and how you feel about them.

Yoongi I think hes really good at drawing boundary lines. Like early on in a sexual relationship I feel like he would want to have a conversation with you. Which would put him up there with Jin on the coping scale. I think past spitting and the obvious bodily fluids would probably be out. I also think you would say no to being anywhere that's not completely private.

I could see Hobi going either way. Like to get his going to respect your boundaries I just don't think he has any. Because we know Hobi has the whole duality of J hope verses hoseok, I think he likes to play at anything.

Personally I think Jimin could get quite upset if you don't try to at least be into his idea of what's fun. But he won't come out and say it, he will bottle it up and pretend it didn't bother him until one day he just can't get it up because he is too nervous about boundaries.

Taehyung is another one I think again is willing to try a lot of things, weird things especially. Nothing illegal but past that is st least a discussion you could have. I think he would be really against the ddlg sort of stuff. But sir is still very much on the table. With him being so open I think he'd be confused if you weren't. He'd struggle to get his head around the fact that you don't want to try as much as he does.

Jungkook Is not mature enough to have that conversation. I think he would end up doing something he didnt enjoy to make his partner happy and and be upset about it later. I also dont think he is that in to exploring like it just doesn cross his mind. So if you bring up something new hes more likely to just go no I'm not feeling that

See this is hard for me because I am a sub and I am pretty much willing to try anything that's not going to put my life in danger or hurt an excessive amount. Which means I let other people set boundaries and I often find it difficult to consider other people's boundaries. ( I do have limits and it is a conversation but I've found most of my partners boundaries are reached before mine)

[naw-naw-honeyimgood]

ChengQing (lmao never realized that was their fucking ship name)

so pros of (Jiang Cheng/Wen Qing):

one of the few possible het ships available to mdzs fans like there are all of five named female characters and this is the only one not in an established het pairing. and like sure ive seen yanli w/ someone else a couple times but you CANT put her with JIANG CHENG and i cant say ive ever seen mianmian in a serious relationship in fics with anyone besides either her canon hubby or a chick (usually yanli, wen qing herself, or even sometimes both lmao).

it’s basically written itself in cql!! he has a very obv and clear crush on her, even gives her a comb and offers to help her! she seems interested but the way the storyline went it was simply not meant to be :’(

you get to pair off jiang cheng!! ngl once u finish mdzs its kinda sad for everyone not wangxian (in their generation/above) cuz theyre the only one that get a happy ending. Everyone else is forever alone / depressed / bitter or a combination thereof. so it’s nice to see jiang cheng getting a happy ending!

he... gets... kids...? like ngl as a childless person that is happy to stay that way thats not exactly a pro in my eyes but you might look at his relationship w/ jin ling and say “he’s a great father! he deserves to be a father!” which okay good news! wen qing can bear children!

Now. Cons. 

for one thing the fact that you have a lack of options doesnt exactly mean every possible het pairing can have good chemistry even if you change circumstances enough. there comes to a point where certain pairings can only be really viable if one or both of them are ooc.

lets be honest im willing to bet that AT LEAST 80% of the reason cql introduced this ship was because they were not allowed to make the wangxian pair explicitly Together (and i dont even mean anything specifically sexual), and they needed SOME SORT of romance to feature in the story. xuanli doesnt count because theyre an established background ship,  the jiang parents dont count as romance, we aint talkin about the villain relationships, and lbr, mianmian already had a lot more signif in cql than mdzs. so it makes sense that they took the arguably most important male chara besides wangxian and made him have a crush on the most important female character that wasnt his SISTER. 

what im trying to say is that cql pulled that pairing out of a hat. if you look at canon at ALL i highly doubt there would ever have been feelings, just as there never were. we dont quite know the age dif but we know that wen qing was the older sister and wen ning might have been a bit younger? than the boys? cannot quite remember but we dont know if she was only a year or two older or if it was like. mingjue and huaisang. we dont know! and i canNOT see jiang cheng going for an older chick. also their personalities would clash So Much. she has older sis vibes and not the gentle kind like yanli. she snaps at wen ning’s mumbling and stuff a good couple times- you think she’d tolerate jiang cheng’s emotional immaturity? hah. 

this also kinda segues into my main point of: as depressing as it is that jiang cheng is forever alone unless you pair him off... he would honestly put whoever you pair him off with through hell. he’s not nice. so many jiang cheng stans like to argue that he’s a traumatized kid that was raised to channel his emotions through anger (and raises bitterness under his skin like an ugly puppy) but inside he has a heart of gold, and they’re... not exactly wrong! i mean- literally every younger chara is traumatized in some way. but... that doesn’t really... excuse the shit he’s pulled? as much as jiang cheng stans like to forget: jin guangyao was RIGHT when he said that jiang cheng’s insecurities got wei ying killed. his CLOSEST ALLY. 

tying back to wen qing we have their actual CANON interactions (or lack thereof). wen qing didn’t exactly protect wei ying and jiang cheng out of the goodness of her heart when lotus pier fell: she was protecting wen ning (her BROTHER) from the repercussions of his own actions by saving wei ying (and Jiang Cheng ig idk he was just there bUT YOUNG MASTER WEI-)

not QUITE sure why she agreed to doing the golden core transfer (maybe scientific curiousity? i mean she had an unproven medical theory and here was a volunteer) but it def wasnt For Jiang Cheng.

and then the next time she saw him? do you guys remember the next time she saw him? it’ was when jiang cheng came up to the burial mounds to kill wen ning’s corpse and tell wei ying to turn over the wens. 

KEEP IN MIND that jiang cheng KNOWS wen ning and qing SAVED HIS FUCKING ASS after lotus pier (not How but he KNOWS THIS) and yet he still tells wei ying to hand them over.

he makes wei ying choose between what amounts to the cultivation world and his morals. 

that does not a good healthy relationship make. also again their personalities would clash like so bad. i love wen qing way more but you have to admit her personality is super similar to madame yu’s. and we already agreed that jiang cheng was traumatized as a kid. im not saying fengmian didnt have a hand in it but you gotta admit a good amount was madam yu and her insecurites and accusations she piled on her son. and you wanna pair him up romantically with someone who won’t take his shit and smile? will call him out? HAH.

im not saying this because i think jiang cheng should be with a softer personalitied (guy) like lan xichen or wen ning or huaisang because god knows those pairings have their own issues. im just saying that in canon-verse all i can ship whole-heartedly is jiang cheng / therapy, but since there is not therapy in canon-verse, or even if there WAS then there’s no way he’d admit to needing it, then yeah he can stay single for all his bitter life. better that than making jiang parent relationship 2.0 like fuck.

(this of course means that in modern aus where he DOES get therapy i am Open)

also real quick but jiang cheng was NOT a good parent to jin ling and i will not take constructive criticism like sure he was better than the jiang parents and the lan parents but that is SUCH a low fuckin bar and it’s a fact that in chapter 9 jin ling literally thinks “if I can’t slice off her head with this blow, I will die here- death it is then!!” (taken gratefully from the exiled rebels scanlation) and that is NOT a healthy-minded child.

the only healthy minded children is like. jingyi. and probably sizhui. although i am not here for the way the lan sect raise children but sometimes you have to take what you can get.

also i want you to look me in the eye and tell me that wen qing could and would do anything besides throw down with someone that so much as looked at her brother wrong

because jiang cheng apparently decided to lay the blame for jin zixuan’s death at wen ning’s feet (which is incredibly ironic considering he blames wei ying for yanli’s death??? like i feel like he could stand to use his brain cells a bit more??) and repeatedly tried to kill him.

[juyeoniemyhoney]

can this morning never end

Namjoon is the most beautiful human being to ever walk the earth. It is natural that you have a crush on him. You expect that eventually, your feelings will die out but then, you find yourself squealing uncontrollably outside of the library that you and Namjoon had agreed to meet at for your pair-work assignment. You have always watched Namjoon from afar. It surprises you when you find out that Namjoon has been observing you too. Well, there’s a first for everything. 

-pairing: Kim Namjoon x reader

-genre: FLUFF, a lil bit of angst, high school/secondary school au (where i live high school is called secondary school;-;)

-warnings: vulgarities, pretty self-depreciating writing if im gonna be honest so be weary, Namjoon is a little bit of a simp for oc in this one, the ending is lowkey shit rip im sorry

-word count: 3208 words

-A/N: hi hi im back, this time with a Namjoon fic. i havent been writing a lot because im so preoccupied with my exams. in all honesty, i shouldnt be writing at all but i have absolutely no sense of self control, so i wrote this. it’s not my best but i really like how joon’s so soft in this so i decided to post it anyway. don’t be afraid to tell me how you liked (or didnt like) this imagine! and requests are open! hope you enjoy this one:)

--------

As you approach the entrance of the library, your heart starts beating a mile a minute.

You stall outside the automatic sliding doors, mind racing with a million scenarios. You freak out a little and silently squeal, earning you disapproving frowns and judging eyes from passers-by. But you don't care. You've waited a whole week for today.

A week ago, during English class, you were busy writing instead of paying attention, as usual, when your teacher had given the class the assignment to write a scenario, of any genre but it had to contain the writer's techniques she had taught in class. And she made the whole class pair up. You, too lost in the world of fanfiction, had not been listening and frankly, you didn't really care, passing her words off as just more homework.

The next thing you knew, Kim Namjoon had turned around in his chair, calling your name in that deep, gravelly voice. At the sound of his voice, your head immediately shot up, eyes wide in surprise.

"Do you want to partner up?" he had asked, lips slinging into an easy grin, eyes curling up and that goddamned dimple making itself made known on his left cheek. He patiently waited for your answer, eyes periodically glancing down to your desk that was in disarray, pieces of paper containing your words messily covering every corner of your desk. You pray that he didn't catch a peep of your (admittedly) cringeworthy fanfic as you tried to subtly gather the papers before he could read too much.

"Um, partner up for what?" you questioned, confused, head tilting ever so slightly to the right in question, brows furrowed in misunderstanding. He mirrored your actions and your heart had unwontedly skipped a beat. A beat of silence passed, "For the assignment?"

Before you could ask what assignment?, your teacher had interrupted your conversation with a satisfied clap and a smile. "Alright, I assume you have all found your partners. I'll give you time to work on your assignment right now. Remember that planning is the most important stage of writing. Do approach me if you have any questions."

Namjoon had turned back to you with a wry grin that looked a tad bit awkward, saying, "Well, I guess we're partners now."

Which is how you find yourself freaking the fuck out in front of a library on a Saturday morning, mind racing with different, absurd scenarios and outcomes of this meeting. You decide to take another minute to compose yourself.

You wouldn't say that you like Namjoon per se. You just think he is the most handsome man to walk on this godforsaken planet. But seriously, that man is far too beautiful to be real. From the first time you met him til now, you have no doubt that that man is a celestial being, gifted to the world from the gods, purely to cleanse the eyes of us, mere mortals. To make matters worse, he is smart too; of a wisdom thousands of years beyond his age. You still can't believe you've had the god-given opportunity to meet someone like him.

Okay so, maybe you kind of like him a lot, more than you let on, but you're not really sure if you like him because he's Namjoon or if it's because you are lovelorn, touch deprived, or both.

You reckon it has taken more than a minute to compose yourself because by the time you snap out of your daze, you are five minutes late when you had actually arrived five minutes earlier than the agreed timing. You sigh and finally walk through the doors that welcome you into the cooling library, cold blasts from the air conditioning cooling down the fierce blush that had taken refuge on your cheeks.

You immediately proceed to find a seat but Namjoon texts you, telling you that he's already a step ahead of you, having secured a seat in a room with tables on the second floor.

When you reach the second floor, and make your way towards the rooms, you can see Namjoon through the glass walls, sitting down and silently reading a book as he waits for you. The closer you draw to the room, the faster your heart pounds in your chest. The sound is deafening and distracting and you don't even realise how fast you had walked until you are finally knocking on the glass door, sending Namjoon a small smile when he looks up at you.

"Hi, Y/N," he greets, smile widening into a grin so wide that it hides his eyes. Your heart stops but you hide it with a small smile as you settle down your things and yourself opposite him.

"So, what genre did you want to write about," he asks as you take a pen and a piece of paper out from your bag. You freeze when your brain registers his sentence. "The assignment is to write a story?"

Namjoon stares at you wordlessly for a while, speechless that it's been a week and you still don't know what the fucking assignment is. You, however, have no idea that he is thinking about how stupid you are and happily stare back at him, taking in his mono lidded, almond-shaped eyes and the dark brown of his irises. His nose bridge is straight and the tip of his nose is a little flat, like a koala. You have never wanted to boop a nose so bad in your entire life.

"Yeah, that's the assignment," he responds patiently, giving you a gentle smile. You can't help but feel that it seems a little tight and forced, like he is regretting asking you be his partner, and regretting that he didn't have enough time to reconsider. You ignore the feeling of dejection that slowly bubbles up inside of you.

"I thought that it'd be easiest to write romance since you're so well versed in that.". You freeze. Time seems to have stopped and your ears refuse to register the rest of what Namjoon is saying, tuning everything out but your deafening thoughts. You have to remind yourself to breathe.

"You know that I write?" you interrupt Namjoon. He stops and fixes you a look of confusion, like it is so obvious that you write. It's not that you've been trying to keep it a secret. The thing is, for most of your stories, Namjoon is the main male character. In most of your stories, you have described every single part of him in excruciating detail, his eyes and lips especially. When your friends had first read your stories with Namjoon as the male protagonist, they had caught on quickly, almost immediately asking you if you were describing Namjoon because of how well you had described him. A bad feeling washes over you.

"Yeah, you're always scribbling away during English so I got curious and asked a few of your classmates," he responds, flashing you another lopsided smile. If this were any other situation, your heart would have been absolutely eliminated because of that smile but in this situation, all you can think about is if he's read any of your work. Because if he has, you're done for.

"What did my classmates say?" you question hesitantly, still deciding if you want to know his answer.

"Well they said that you've been writing since forever. They also said that a lot of people know that you write. Oh, and they also said that you had some published works so I went to check them out—" Namjoon's voice fades out as he continues to talk.

This is it.

It's the end of your social life. Namjoon is going to tell his loud ass group of friends that you write stalker-esque stories about him and then one of his friends is going to accidentally tell their girlfriend and then the girlfriend is going to spread it across the school and you'll be known as the loser who writes creepy stalker stories about Namjoon—

"It was amazing," you hear Namjoon say in between your mild quarter-life crisis. You pause and look him square in the eye. You want to come off as serious but you falter slightly when Namjoon stares back at you, irises a whirlpool of dark brown and glittering fascination, a swirling vortex that draws you in with a vicious intent of drowning.

"Yes?" Namjoon questions you after a beat of silence passes. You want to ask him if he knows that he is reading about himself but you stop yourself. "You like my stories?" you ask instead, feeling a tad bit shy now that you've realised that Namjoon likes what you write about him.

He lets out a small laugh, "Is it that hard to believe that I like what you write?"

"I was just surprised." He flashes you another wide grin and there it is, those cursed dimples show themselves again, grinning tauntingly at you and your heart commits the highest act of treason when it starts to beat faster. You gulp.

"You shouldn't be surprised. It was really good. I really liked it when you described the male character. It felt like I was looking at him myself. That's why I asked you to be my partner. I'm sure with your talents, we can get a really good mark on this assignment."

Your heart thuds a little faster when Namjoon tells you that his favourite part was reading about how you described him. But it falls to your stomach when he tells you that he picked you solely for your supposed talents. You don't know why, but a part of you had thought that maybe Namjoon wanted to get to know you better, and was using this assignment as an excuse. You thought that it was finally happening, someone you like has finally noticed you. But it looks like you thought wrong.

"Thank you," you say meekly, flashing him a half-hearted smile that you're sure he notices from the way he stiffens. "So, you said that you thought that romance would be a good genre, but what do you want to write about?"

Namjoon is silent for a while, lips pursed in ponder. You wait patiently for his answer.

"Well, I thought that I'd wanted to write romance too," he answers flashing you an awkward smile. The silence that follows is palpable and suddenly, you feel so very exhausted. "Well then, that's settled. Now we just have to think of a situation."

"How about this one?" Namjoon asks immediately after you finish your sentence. He says it rather suddenly and it startles you a little. You can't help but hear a certain extent of desperation in this voice. He wants to get this over with, you tell yourself.

"How do you mean?"

"Kinda like us now," he starts but stops to think about what to say next. You remain silent. "We should just write about us but make it a love story. For example, the two main characters are supposed to do a project together so they meet at a library," he pauses to gesture to the shelves surrounding the both of you.

"Then they start working on the project and they start talking. Then, somehow, the boy confesses to her. And the girl tells him she's always felt the same way. We can come up with how he confesses since I myself haven't come up with that yet," he continues, softening the last part of his sentence into a mumble that you barely hear, but still do. You pause. What the fuck?

"What did you say? I didn't hear you," you ask against your better judgement, curiosity getting the best of you. "Huh? Oh, it was nothing."

A furious blush begins to spread on the apples of Namjoon's cheeks, and for some reason, your body begins to mirror him, heart pumping hot blood to the blood vessels that lay beneath the skin of your cheeks. Namjoon shyly directs his gaze to his lap, dark brown bangs, the colour of his eyes, coming down in luxurious curls and waves to hide his eyes. You can't help but think that you like to see Namjoon like this; soft and shy and vulnerable because he is usually so confident and suave. It feels like he is showing a new side of himself to you, like he is peeling back the layers of masks and personas he has built until he is left raw and natural, allowing you to see everything that he is. The thought of that leaves you feeling winded because it is exactly what you want. And suddenly, you don't feel bashful or shy because of his words. Instead, you are determined, hellbent on making something out of this and you hope with your whole being that it is a relationship.

You are about to say something, to question him, bombard him until he is spilling his feelings in fumbled words and sentences of desperation and want, clawing at you until you too, are raw and vulnerable. But he beats you to it, speaking in a soft, hushed tone, as if you are a stern silence that he is afraid of interrupting.

"I think you're amazing, Y/N. What do you think of me?"

He stares meekly at his lap, too afraid to even spare you a glance. You remain silent, building his desperation like you are some professional flirt. In all honesty, you really just want to tell him you like him too but you're just so scared. The evidence that he at least feels something for you is right in front of you and yet your brain rejects it like a vending machine rejects a bill, walls built far too high and thick that words are no longer enough to convince you. He has to show you. And you think he knows that too.

Namjoon's head shoots up to stare you in the eyes, a new found determination and confidence burning in his eyes. The way the light finds his dark brown irises makes your heart do a million somersaults. They light up and turn into a golden brown you can't help but compare to a sweet, caramel syrup that coats your tongue in golden, sugary gratification. You swallow so hard, you feel the sides of your throat rub together painfully. 

"I think you're freaking amazing, Y/N. Every time I look at you, I always want to make myself better. For you. I want to become the best version of myself in hopes that it'll satisfy you and garner your attention. And I really like that you do what makes you happy. I absolutely love it when you write in English because you're always so focused and serious, plus, you make that really cute face when you're concentrating and it always makes my heart beat a little faster and it makes me hate that I sit in front of you because I have to keep finding stupid reasons to turn around just to look at you and I just think you're the most amazing, admirable, lovable person ever," Namjoon lets out. His words are rushed and desperate and you melt like goddamn candle wax.

"I'm— Wow, I'm— thank you, Namjoon. That really means a lot to me," you stutter, not really knowing what to say at first but finding your words soon enough. "Oh, and I feel the same way," you add, somehow missing the main point of your response. It doesn't matter anyway. He knows now. That's all that matters.

"Wait, really?"

You let out a laugh. "Yeah, Namjoon. Is it that hard to believe that I like you too?" you reply, a homage to your previous conversation.

Namjoon smiles a small smile, then it widens, and widens, and widens, until he is flashing you a blinding grin that could outright beat the glare of sunlight. "You said that you like me," he points out, eyes shining.

It is your turn to blush in embarrassment, cheeks feeling hot as you begin to sink into yourself, hair falling from behind your shoulders to hopefully make itself useful as a curtain to shield your red face from Namjoon. Something in Namjoon's chest begins to splinter at the sight. He is so very tempted to pull out his phone and snap a picture of you but he holds himself back at the thought that he is positive he has many more chances to do so. His ribs nearly break in half because of how hard his heart beats.

"It's a good thing that I like you too," he says gently, smile now gentle instead of blinding. "Also, we have a plot now!" he exclaims in excitement as he slides the pen and paper closer to himself, ready to start on your assignment.

"Wait."

"Yeah?"

"So, we're, are we? You know... Um, dating now?"

Namjoon's eyes widen in horror and he deflates himself, a disappointed frown pulling his eyebrows together at the centre and turning the corners of his lips down. "Shit, I'm sorry I didn't ask— I just assumed—" he cuts himself off, clearing his throat dramatically.

"Y/N, will you be my girlfriend?" he asks. Somehow, he still feels nervous even though he knows that you answer is a resounding, "Yes, I would love to be your girlfriend."

Namjoon lets out the breath he didn't even know he was holding and it comes out in a relieved sigh. "Thank God because if not our story would have a horrible ending," Namjoon comments, picking the pen back up and clicking it open.

"Let's write that," you cut in before he can say anything else. "Write a sad love story?"

Namjoon is going to tell you no, to completely disapprove of your idea because writing a sad love story is one thing but writing a sad love story that will be handed up to your teacher for her to grade is another thing. But then, he sees your eyes glisten in determination and he dispels his thoughts immediately, folding into himself like a goddamn lawn chair. He can't believe he was just about to say no to you. What the fuck is wrong with him?

"Please? I'm better at writing angst. Plus, we have a happy ending and that's all that matters," you press, trying to convince him. You don't have a real reason other than the fact that you write angst better. You also don't really know why you want to write angst right now when you feel as if you could fly. But it doesn't matter. None of it matters anymore. Namjoon is your's now. 

Namjoon flashes you a dimpled smile, eyes curling up and glittering with mirth and unadulterated belief in you. You can't help but think that you want him to never stop smiling like that, looking at you like you are some sort of celestial being, hailed from the sky solely to bring him every sort of merriment known to mankind and the heavens. The thought of him thinking of you like that scares you, because you are always afraid of not being enough. But Namjoon diminishes all of your worries with a short sentence, manhandling them by the throat and shoving them off a cliff.

"Okay, I believe in you."

your lloyd playlist made me cry... like a lot. so if it's not too much trouble i'd actually really love to know the meaning behind each song, like what was the criteria? did you select based on lyrics or just the general vibe

cause honestly whatever you did, it made me feel a lot of stuff (but like, in a good way)

maybe it's bc anything related to this lil green ninja dude hits different but either way the playlist was a vibe and i found some really banger artists

after this i'm prolly gonna listen to the zane playlist, which might make me cry as well

sorry for rambling i'm just Going Through It rn so i hope you have a good day!!

hello!!!!! im So sorry if this response is late i Only just saw this ask cause im on desktop as opposed to my usual mobile? anyways omg this ask fr made my day!!!!!

uh so i think the best way to go about this is put the song and maybe a lyric or two as to why i chose it

i bet on losing dogs- so the thought process behind this was lloyd having abandonment issues especially due to garmadon, misako, pythor, harumi and how he must feel so dejected as so many of the people he trusted betrayed/abandoned him

high and dry - also about the abandonment issues

first love/late spring- these lyrics: 'and i was so young when i behaved twenty five, yet now I find i've grown into a tall child, and i don't wanna go home yet let me walk to the top of the big night sky' - lloyds loss of childhood due to having to become a ninja and be serious (and also the aging up)

kids- also to do with the above point

army dreamers- this ones about the 'what if' lloyd didnt have to become a ninja (*cough* child soldier) and how he would've had to drop any other aspirations he had, for his destiny

pale shelter- 'you dont give me love you give me pale shelter' - about his parents not being there for him

rat, and say it aint so And father - all about his daddy issues and his complicated relationship with garmadon

everybody wants to rule the world- this ones more generic and basically just about how he continually has to face all these power hungry villains, a bit existential

green eyes- mostly just added for the title but also the line 'i wish that your parents had been kinder to you, they made you hate what you were out of habit'

class of 2013- also the loss of childhood and how his destiny shaped his future 'mom, am i still young? can i dream for a few months more?' #pain

bohemian rhapsody- 'i don't want to die i sometimes wish I'd never been born at all' - lloyds feeling towards his destiny to fight his dad. and also 'i'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me, he's just a poor boy from a poor family spare him his life from this monstrosity'

blackboxwarrior- another lloyd being existential one

im just a kid- this ones about lloyd feeling like he has no one there for him during his time at darkleys.

boulevard of broken dreams- also links to the above point

boys will be bugs- lloyd deciding to be 'evil' live up to garmadon. 'i just turned 14 and i think this year im gonna be mean' oh and also the whole first verse

the power- this ones just a joke one based on his power lmao (all my playlists have a joke song)

female of the species- this ones for how he feels after harumi betrays him (and also links to how he was suspicious of princess vania because of it)

turn the lights off- i guess this is more to do with lloyds feelings towards his oni and dragon side. also i like how the line 'snakes and lovers turn the lights off' links to how pythor and harumi were major characters in his life that affected him and betrayed him

okay sorry this is so long but i wanted to be thorough!! and thanks again for the ask and glad u liked my playlist, im sending u a big hug!!!!

(also if u could lmk when u sent this ask id appreciate that!)

12-9-14 Grif and Simmons (honouraryfirstofficerslog)

“Alright! I’m officially done with drills and maintenance for the night! Just let me grab my wine, and we’ll——

Okay, it looks like I have some catching up to do.”

-

"You are not gonna drink wine.” Grif had his eyes narrowed, and he pulled Simmons to his side. “We’re not at some social club, you drink piss beer with the rest of us. … Or shit beer in my case.” He wasnt as far along as Tucker was, but he was feeling good enough that he had his arm around Simmons’ waist.

-

He shuffles over—-almost—-resignedly as Grif pulls him in, glancing down and confirming that yes, Grif’s arm is around his waist before pointing out, “

Okay, first: cheap wine is only about a half-step up from piss beer. And second: you don’t show up to these things empty handed. They’re like potlucks… but with drinking, and no food. Drinking potlucks."

"Those sound like bolth the best and worst potlucks ever.” Grif chuckled. “… You know cheap wine might taste better then piss beer. Is grapes better then barely on the nutrition scale? Fuck it, it’ll still get me drunk, and thats all that matters.

-

“They might be if they didn’t have all their nutrition fermented out of—-oh fuck, this doesn’t count as junk food, does it?” He nearly chokes on the aforementioned cheap wine as he incredulously stares down at Grif. “How the Hell are you not sad-drunk right now?”

-

“Do I need to be?” The answer was, of course, that he was feeling rather affectionate and cuddly right now, and Simmons is looking really adorable with that perplexed look on his face. “I’ve got one more day of this bullshit curse. Thats a pretty good reason to celebrate.”

-

“Fuck no… I wasn’t criticizing you. I’m just surprised.” Believe him, he’s not complaining all. He will take affectionate cuddly drunk over sad moping drunk any day of the week. Affectionate cuddly drunk is kind of nice. In fact, it’s making it pretty hard to keep from smiling as he offers Grif a sage, contemplative nod.

"Anyway, sure… I’ll drink to one more day of your sugar withdrawal.” He’ll even raise his cup in a sort of toast.  

-

He laughed softly, and clinked his cheap can of beer against it. That was promptly drunk, and he tossed the can away to someplace else for Tucker to deal with later. “Hooray!”

Grif had to tilt his head back a little so that he could see Simmons’ face from this angle, and it made him frown. “Fuck you Simmons. Why’d you have to be so damn tall… It makes it harder then it needs to be.”

-

“Right, because that’s my fault. My height was a conscious—-goddamnit…” He releases a half-hearted sigh, splaying a hand between Grif’s shoulderblades and steering him towards a nearby bench before pulling him down to sit with him.

"There. We’re on a level playing field now. Happy?”

-

“Mmmmhmmm,” Grif nodded, and rested his head on Simmons’ shoulder. “For the most part. You’re still too fucking tall most of the time. His arm was still around Simmons’ waist, and there was still a hand on his back.

"But… You know. This is pretty fucking nice right here. I might even drink some of your shitty wine.”

-

“Well, what the fuck am I supposed to do about that?” He shrugs, shifting closer so he can dislodge his arm from between Grif and the wall—which is definitely there. This bench is against a wall, just for the record—and sling it across his shoulders, which puts him in a much less awkward position. Perfect.

And now that’s done, he’ll just take another swallow of horrible shitty wine, before offering the cup to Grif.

“Well, have at it. Here’s hoping it does turn out to be marginally more healthy than the beer."

-

"Here’s hoping that it gets me drunk enough that I don’t care.” Grif made a horrible grimmace, and basically slammed it back like he was taking a tequilla shot. “Here, take that back.” Grif settled against Simmons’ chest, listening to the gentle hum of the electronics that kept the maroon soldier alive. Lucky for him, none of that changed how comfortable it was to lean against the nerd. “… know something? This is pretty great.”

-

“Okay, so you’re not completely wasted. You’re just mildly wasted and being an asshole.” That being said, he’s not going to object to the nuzzling. In fact, he’ll even constrict his arm a little, pulling Grif a little closer.

“…I’m glad we straightened that out.”

-

“But you, sir. You are not even a little wasted yet.” Grif had a pout on his face. “Looks like someone needs to do more wine shots.” It wouldnt be any fun to be the only drunk one sitting here, now would it?

-

“That’s not how you drink wine!… And even if it were, maybe you should have thought about that before you decided to sprawl on me."

Because yes, as great as another drink would be right about now, he’s not entirely sure he’s all that keen on disrupting… this.

-

He huffed, "You’re the one that wanted to sit down, not me, Dick.” Were they doing away with last names now? Grif decided that they were. Besides, it was much more fun to call Simmons by his very penis-ey name when he was drunk verses the one he used ever day.

That train of thought led him to giggling quietly into Simmons’ shirt, and he wasnt about to share the joke.

-

“Only because you were bitching about my height… and apparently, that’s hilarious.” Or it is just going by the way Grif’s inanely giggling against him. He sighs, giving Grif a moment to get over whatever the fuck’s so funny right now before shoving him off.

"Fuck it. I’m getting another drink. Being the only sober guy in the room sucks serious balls.”

-

“Yeah, your right, it does suck balls. And Dick.” He really was trying to contain his giggles, but that just wasnt working that well. By the time that Simmons came back, he was wheezing.

“I hope you brought me some too, or I’ll have to jump you Dick.” That set him off again. It seemed like it was going to be one of those drunk nights.

-

…So that’s what was apparently hilarious.

“It’s not that—-Fucking—-Come on, how old are you?” He seethes, before slumping back onto the bench and handing a cup to Grif.

"And maybe this is where I should say, ‘no, Grif… I think you’ve had enough’ but fuck it. I’m not your mom.”

-

It was a lot easier for him to calm down after he drank something. As soon as Simmons was comfortable, Grif was back to nuzzleing into his side. “Well, good. Cause I aint gonna kiss my mom, thats fore sure.” From his position, he couldnt quite lean up and kiss Simmons’ lips, but he got the corner of his jaw, so that was good enough.

-

He turns, offering Grif a small smile—-then freezing because fuck, as nice as that unexpected kiss was, Grif is pretty far ahead of him right now, and how does that work? Does this mean he’s taking advantage?  Probably not if he’s drunk too?

He’s just going to keep drinking.

“Pretty sure nobody thought you had an Oedipus complex… but hey, you brought it up. Maybe there’s room for debate there.”

-

“Stop it. You are killing the mood, Dick.” Grif had a pout on his face, but that didnt last long. “After all, why would I want to think about mothers when I got you right here?” Grif wasnt so far gone that he didnt remember that they were still in public. But he was far enough gone that he really didnt care that much.

spider verse coffee shop au??

Anon im sorry i wanted to draw the coffeeshop au but ive been so tired lately so imma just overshare about what goes down bc this au is just (thick tombstone voice) : “everybody’s traumatized bitch lets get you a latte”

 • this au is incredibly villain centric bc uhhhhh all i do is think about villains

 • its also very aaron davis centric bc time to project my anxiety onto a grown ass man babey!!

 • anyway this takes place in a normal world where there’s no superheros or avengers or what have you, everyone’s super average 

• like i said this is more or less aaron centric and focuses on him readjusting to society and making connections with other people, and just healing in general. Aaron’s whole deal is that he was wrongfully arrested for defending himself against an off duty cop who was harassing him and ended up with a 10 year sentence  (but was let off a year earlier for good behaviour). He’s got a lot of guilt bc of this if only for the fact that he feels like he let down his brother and Miles (who was a small lad at the time).

 • Fun Fact! Jefferson was the one that picked up Aaron at the jail when he served out his sentence! The ride back to brooklyn was awkward! but also jefferson loves his brother and even tho they’ve had their falling outs he never once stopped believing that his brother was innocent. Jefferson also made sure to pull some strings and ended up getting an apartment set up for Aaron (even though jefferson and rio were 100% down to open their home to him for as long as it took him to get back onto his feet but of course aaron denied them bc he didnt want to be a burden) Aaron’s grateful but he tends to avoid his own family…a lot….

• it’s ridiculously hard to find a job bc nobody wants to hire an ex convict no matter the circumstances and Aaron’s legitimately about to lose hope when he spots an expensive looking shop nestled in between an old arcade and a knick knack shop

 • ‘Vanessa’s Cafe’ is neatly printed above the door in fancy gold lettering. it’s obvious that the owner has serious cash bc the shop looks too damn good and too well maintained to be a regular mom and pop shop. there’s a help wanted sign hastily scribbled on a piece of notebook paper in the middle of the window which is odd since it off sets the professional vibe of the place. But hey it’s worth a shot so Aaron walks in ready to be denied another job only to find the weirdest looking group of people he’s ever seen.

 • The first guy that catches his attention is the very large albino man who looks way too stressed out and manic to be working in a coffeeshop, but the job must pay well because he’s very well dressed.

 • “Liv, for fuck’s sake! Clean your goddamn station!” he’s whisper shouting? Is that even a thing? oh look at that he’s got a full set of razor sharp teeth. huh. that’s a hell of an aesthetic he’s going for.

 • The lady in question isn’t even giving him the time of day, just enthralled by her phone with a smile that looks too peaceful given what’s happening around her. She’s got wild hair tied up messily in a knitted bandana, weird glasses (custom made??) and when she glances up at aaron, her eyes widen in interest like he’s some anomaly to be cracked open. aaron looks anywhere that isnt the wild eyed lady at the counter.

• Theres another big guy that’s hanging around the back, heavily tattooed and lifting stacks of heavy boxes. Aaron takes notice of his prosthetic hand and the tattoo guy takes notice of Aaron. 

• “Lonnie. Customer.” The Tattoo guy seems nonplussed about Aaron and walks into the back. aaron assumes that he’s offended him by staring at his prosthetic for longer than necessary which yeah….yeah he’s probably not happy about the staring. 

 • lonnie’s got a bad case of resting bitch face so he’s glaring at aaron without actually glaring and he’s just rough around ALL the edges so his tones got that nice bite to it as he shouts from across the counter (which is not something you do to a customer but it’s lonnie…..)  "Hey! Ya looking for a job, skinny jeans?!“

 • Aaron blanches at the idea of working with these people but he is absolutely desperate for a job at this point.

 •"Yeah. I just got out of-”

 •"Great, you’re hired! We’re speed running this whole introduction thing, string bean.“

 •and that’s all i got other than like small details like:

 •Peter B Parker owns a ”“’'cafe”“” across from Vanessa’s and its literally just a burger joint that h a p p e n s to sell coffee and Parker will fight you if you call his place a deli ahdhdj

 •Liv and May are dating (big shock) and peter b has to constantly deal with seeing his competition over at his place all the time and it’s yikes

 • Tombstone and Noir will 100% throw hands on contact. They don’t hate each other tho??? Its weird they just like to fight. gives them a chance to work on their banter i guess. Noir works the coffee machine at Peter’s “'cafe”’ so i guess he’s the “”barista”” of the joint but he drinks the coffee more than the customers do

 • Miles and the rest of the spider kids “”“”“"intern”“”“” at the cafe which basically translates to free labor

 •  spider ham works there but he isnt a pig he’s just john mulaney. i know its weird. nobody actually sees him tho so he’s a complete mystery as to what he looks like so he could be john mulaney you never know. the only person who’s seen him is noir and that’s only bc they’re  a thing???

 •oh speaking of everyone being gay:  everyone’s gay

 • Lonnie and Gargan (tombstone and scorpion) are 100% dating but everyone legitimately thinks that the both of them are straight old men despite the fact that they live together, go to work together, hang out afterwards together, and they’re just always together

 • lonnie’s  daughter (janice)  visits every other week (def the product of a divorce he went through years ago) she’s alright with gargan but she’s very distant towards her dad and def has that teen angst phase that she’s going through

 • (lonnie can and will talk to you for hours about how much he loves and supports his daughter despite the fact that their relationship is very estranged)

 • you can find janice hanging out with the cute blond punk girl at that weird burger/coffee place across the street

 • oh gargan’s big and strong despite the fact that he’s missing three limbs, liv works in robotics on the side and constantly tweaks and repairs his prosthetics when they start acting up which leads to them having this weird friendship where they both borrow each other when they need something and dont really expect anything in return (like gargan’s good for getting her supplies and doing heavy lifting when she needs it and liv’s always down to run check ups on gargan)

 • oh yeah liv used to be a scientist but immediately lost her license and phd when she started going above some board members heads to buy less than legal things through super illegal sources

.• that’s another thing, kingpin tends to just hire ex cons and criminals to work in his cafe just bc he believes that a person willing to work hard to better themselves deserves a chance to re enter society again.

 • like they’ve all done bad things but still ended up with a job at the cafe. aaron fought a cop, liv did some shady deals for an illegal experiment, gargan used to run a drug ring years ago due to personal reasons but once he was free from jail he never dealt with the stuff again, and lonnie killed a dude (allegedly. he never went to jail bc they couldn’t prove anything but hey word spread around quick and everyone knew not to go anywhere near this guy)

 • kingpin is in this au btw he’s just……a very depressed man who’s still grieving over his wife and son dying in a car accident

.• he rarely shows up to run the cafe bc its too much for him being in the place that his wife loved and built up from the ground. he used to be the manager after she died but couldn’t handle it and mostly left lonnie to take care of it

• which holy fuck lonnie is trying his best to keep this cafe alive and well and there’s only two other people working there so like its enough to have him scrambling all over the place trying to find more help (thanks aaron)

 •miles doesn’t know aaron’s working at the cafe across the street and aaron def wants it that way bc even tho he’s out of jail he hasn’t actually……visited miles yet….. it’s the shame that’s keeping aaron from reaching out to him which is….sad bc miles doesn’t care what happened he just wants his uncle back.

 • oh oh one more thing RIPeter used to run the deli across the street but had to leave brooklyn to go volunteer at homeless shelters across the states indefinitely so theres no telling when he’ll be back, so he left the cafe under the guidance of pb parker (peter b parker voice: my cafe now)

 •and uhhh thats all i got, like i said this au is just found family trope + the healing we all want + bad people getting redemption which is all the tropes that i love all compacted together in the most cliche au you can imagine!

[gaygwenpool]

*slams fists on table* MYSTELEON

I knew you wouldnt disappoint! :D  tho you already know most of these lmaoo  lotsa credit to @herbofoo anyway, i dont remember which of these you came up with but Patchwork wouldnt be the same without your Good Good Content! (And of course thanks for all your patience as i cry about comics lmao)

I’ve lost all shame long since ive started shipping them so brace yourself for the self-indulgent cheese that is Chameleon/Mysterio in my Patchwork verse. (its reallly. really Melodramatic. i gave up all pretense.. also under the cut cuz its long..)

ask meme

Who cooks:

Mysterio! Although Chameleon is objectively The Superior Cook thanks to the long years of being a servant to picky russian nobility BUT exactly because of that, he really doesnt enjoy it, even less when cooking for others and not just himself. So it is usually Beck who prepares meals (that are not bad either, they are just simpler) but as often as they can, they eat out. That said, Cham is very well aware Quentin loves his cooking so sometimes, he makes them something. (Being sick isnt so bad when it means Chammy bringin you a big bowl of hot borscht :)

On the other hand, Cham has quite a sweet tooth which Q notices Fast and decides to learn how to bake. It took more effort and failed tries than it could have, mostly because he got cocky, how hard could this be and just. kept forgetting he put stuff in the oven.. But now he makes quite delicious cookies n cakes which make Dmitri almost tear up because tasty + Quentin baked something Specifically for him?? 

Who does the laundry and other chores:

Mysterio’s laundry is usually booby trapped so he has to clean it himself and he doesnt even let Cham near it. And he keeps forgetting gadgets in his civvies. Not to mention that again, for the same servant reason, Cham really doesnt enjoy house chores in general, so he usually just gets his own clothes cleaned somewhere else (especially since his fancy suits and even fancier gowns are the highest quality and delicate materials, he doesnt even Know how to clean them..) 

As for the rest of the chores, its pretty balanced, although Cham has more of an eye for things that needs to be cleaned up (and Beck already has cooking duties) so he does a tad more. 

How many children do they have + Any pets:

In my Patchwork universe there’s a whole Thing about Leon, the Chameleon of the Ultimate universe but I’ve tried to type up a short summary and failed, it’s a long story lmao ^^;; and anyway he isnt exactly their kid, he is just much younger than them and they ended up sorta mentoring him. 

However, they have Celavi, the escaped ex-spy beluga.(Yes, it started as a joke based on this post that accidentally grew more and more serious until @herbofoo and me were too attached to let it go) She counts pretty much as their adopted daughter that they both spoil to hell and back, I mean no surprise, she saved Cham’s life once and sometimes, she helps out with heists. (Mostly for the show, you should have SEEN the look on Spider’s face when a beluga splashed him. He is used to humanoid sharks, to Hydroman.. not like. real life beluga that LAUGHS at him) Beck’s voice: “Dont you dare to insult her, SHE IS PERFECT AND FLAWLESS and A GOODNESS INCARNATE!! -she is literally a deserted russian spy that was trained to gather everything that could be used to harm USA-yea, i have a soft spot for those ;)“

She was always surprisingly clever so she never really counted as a “pet” and at one point, she even bonds with a symbiote (together they are Vague, again long story ah ha). They dont talk but have quite some range of vocalisations so communication isnt a problem. 

Who’s more dominant: 

They both have pretty dominant strong personalities (ok chameleon’s a bit more complicated with that but like.) with big egos who dont like others questioning their superiority. (Of course not at the level of like Doc Ock etc, they are surprisingly flexible and good team players that can be willing to let someone else take the spotlight if they are Nice) But the whole point of their relationship is that neither of them is dominant over the other, they get enough of that literally everywhere else. It’s very reassuring to be so sure that they are on equal footing, cooperating, no hidden nooses around their neck. Especially in their line of work of course! 

(Also, for the other interpretation of this question: anythin remotely sexual happens Pretty Late in the story and both of them are somewhere on the ace spectrum so it doesnt happen that often but they are both verses tho Beck bottoms more)

Favorite nonsexual activity:

MOVIES!! Sprawled on the giant comfy couch, closer than technically needed, cuddling and watching old movies with great special effects and/or great actors! Listening to Beck excitedly rant through the most dramatic speech of the story as he explains how the next cliffhanger is done with hydraulics! Focusing so hard on the stars in his eyes and his excited tone and gestures and just the tone of his voice you forgot to listen to the words themselves! Watching Cham’s face flawlessly mimic the faces on the screen in a blink of an eye and secretly guessing which one will he pick next. Feeling his head slowly fall on your shoulder, eyes closed, his mask smooth but not tense, instead just.. peaceful. Slight ping of annoyance, after all, this is A Classic movie dammit, but it’s gone in a second because Mitya hasnt slept since thursday and you are just relieved he is finally getting his rest. Feeling his warmth under your hand on his shoulders and suddenly never ever wanting to get up again.. EHM. anyway

PLANING HEISTS TOGETHER!! and more or less successfully executing them but planning is actually even more fun aside from the Big Reveals and Entrances which are actually harder to coordinate than one would think! 

Lots of shobiz/job talk actually, they really enjoy what they do! Lots of people already mentioned that in their hc compilations but i agree, they love goin to see all kinds of movies and plays and performances as well as acting various scenes with one another!  

Their favorite place to be together:

NEW YORK CITY BABEYY. Sure they love to travel and see other countries (and cause mayhem there) but.. they love their mess of a city, it’s never the same without the webhead around as well as the bazillion of other heroes n villains bashin each other’s heads. 

Any traditions:

Oh so many pop culture references and inside jokes, oh my god. One time, they spent the entire heist (and its planning period) speaking strictly in famous movie lines and titles, Max and other sixers tried to join but didnt last too long :’D 

Beck also has a habit of taking pictures of people with Interesting faces or styles he sees and sends them to Cham. Also another fanon classic: together they have a running game, disguising themselves as moderately famous people and the other guessing who..

Their “song”:

‘This is me’ from the Greatest Showman, i just live for the two of them singin it in Cham’s car,off key but fully immersed and living it. 

What they do for each other on holidays:

Neither of them are religious but that doesnt stop Beck from going ALL OUT at any opportunity, Sin Six doesn’t do any heists around holidays because you Know he’d make them dress for the occasion or worse, write them themed lines…  They still meet for Christmas and Hanukkah and sometimes other holidays too because this is my AU and you can pry festivities-related shenanigans from my cold, cold hands. It’s always at Beck’s place tho because he can turn his hideout into the tackiest holiday-themed showcase but he aint roping them into it.  

On the other hand, Cham despises American commercialized holidays in general and Christmas time especially, since it’s not a big thing in Russia and  also once again, he has family issues for days. (Although relatively speaking, he is pretty over these, he is not gonna like mope around or anything) 

Anyway, what they do for each other is that they try to compromise, Dmitri doesnt sneer at stupid kitsch decorations every 5 minutes and Quentin ..chills a little. :’D To be fair, Beck makes everything fun and having Cham there makes Beck appreciate the details more instead of just goin into BETTER!BIGGER! frenzy.

Where did they go for their honeymoon:

After the fuckin Ages of pinning, when they finally end up together for realsies, they wanted somethin Big and Flashy! (Well Beck wanted and Cham kinda too but also with the option to merge with the crowd unnoticed and take some chill time) Anyway they went on a whole world wide tour! Starting with a luxury cruise, they took their time, lots of crime sprees to plan and execute, lots of local shows to see, lots of dumb heroes to fool, they’re gonna have it all! 

Where did they first meet:

Around the time when Cham and Hammerhead had their criminal empire running Fisk to the ground, Otto decided the Sin Six should team up with them for their ressources needed on one heist or something. They agreed but Cham insisted on actually going in the field, it’s been a while since he really stretched his face legs like this and the mafia life was starting to bore him. Doc made him team up with Mysterio much to the fishbowl’s dismay because why do they need another disguise artist?? He is the Master Of Illusions dammit, he can run circles around this guy, what the fuck Otto?? So at the start, he pouts and fumes under his helmet and in general he is his v unpleasant self but… He can’t help but notice that the new guy is a real professional, he even uses Traditional masks, he likes the same movies… And most importantly, he is actually interested in Mysti’s craft, asking questions and even LISTENING to his long winded answers… At one point he even wondered if that X thing was meant as a HOMMAGE to the Y movie, the Six never did that!! (Usually the rest of the sixers dont know the reference, heathens, and when they do, they mock him for it, that he’s copying ideas and mixin them ridiculously.  BUT THIS GUY GETS IT!!) So it doesn’t take long for them to hit it off, of course at this point without any real Trust behind it but it’s a start. 

(Though Beck does pay a visit to Otto like, buddy pal i know you’ve been planning on manipulating these crimelords to your end somehow and honestly, any other day i’d be down, i actually had a robot prepared for my own backstab but i was thinking they werent that bad and maybe we Could hold our end of the bargain this time and just. leave each other on good terms? Mabye? Obviously it’s purely out of respect for our teammate Kraven since him and Chameleon seem to have some history, nothing more, definitely nothing to do with how bright Cham’s eyes were when i was showing him the back of my stage… ) 

What do they fight over:

this whole post has been a mountain of cheese but im bringing more! Honestly, goin through my notes on Patchwork, their biggest arguments have always been about.. the other one not taking proper care of himself :’D Or them lashing out because they were scared and worried about the other and they cant stand being so vulnerable while the other pretends it’s not a big deal because they dont know how to handle genuine concern directed at them. 

Do they go on vacations, if so where:

GIVE!!! BECK!!!! HIS!!!! ISLAND!!!!!!They actually do have one, it’s where Celavi spends most of the time and they visit her often. But never for too long, neither of them can actually spend too long doing nothing..

how do i pray to aphrodite? it sounds stupid but i didnt grow up in a religious family and despite going to a religious school i always tuned church out..

Hi!

It’s not stupid at all. You want to pray to Aphrodite and I think that is beautiful! 

There are plenty of ways to pray to Aphrodite. As long as your heart is in the method, you're doing it right. The reason why I say that is because you can recite a prayer and not believe or care about what it's saying. 

In the dictionary, the definition of the verb to pray is "to address a solemn request or expression of thanks to a deity or other object of worship." So the top elements you want in your prayer are: gratitude, a request (optional) and faith. 

My method consists of 5 parts: Address, Gratitude, Request, Thanks in advance and Letting it go. If you find yourself having a completely different method that works better for you all together, use that instead. Before I further break down my method in detail here's a little food for thought:

Say a stranger came in, went up to you, put out their hand expectantly and said "give me $5!" Without an explanation as to why they are talking to you, why they are demanding money and why you should give it to them, won’t it make you want to turn them down?

But if a person says "my mother has cancer and I am $5 short from affording the co-pay needed for her treatment, we're poor so I don't know if I can pay you back but can you please spare $5?" Might have you reaching for that 5 before they even get a chance to finish, right? Gods are the same way. They look at your request, look at the urgency and the way you treat them.

Keeping this in mind, here is my format in further detail:

1. Address:  Addressing a deity is more than just saying their name. Here is where you further define the relationship between the two of you. If you are working with more than one deity, this is very important, because energy changes when you talk to different people (the way you treat a stranger, lover, or friend all differ), and this is the same with deities. I have a playful vibe with Hermes, a more serious vibe with Apollo, a competitive vibe with Ares and a very playful and emotional vibe with Aphrodite. This is the time to add epithets, compliments, mention noble tales they were featured in, give offerings, etc. You are getting their attention.

2. Gratitude: Now that you have their attention, it's time to count your blessings. Think about all the amazing things they have done for you or someone else (even another character in mythology, I will sometimes mention Perseus when I am praying to Hermes.)  No matter how small.

Have you ever seen someone be so kind or a moment be so beautiful, that it brought you to tears? Maybe even seen it in a movie, book, comic or a show? That’s the level of Gratitude you want to reach. You want to feel so incredibly grateful to have Aphrodite in your life that it feels like you are watching a shower of stars decorate a night sky. You are talking to a goddess.

According to Pausanias (LINK): Aphrodite Urania is the "eldest of the Fates" because she has the power to change fate. (Please don’t think I am claiming Aphrodite is the strongest god because it would be hubris of me to think I am so important and above the gods to the point of judging and deciding which one is better than which.) I’m only saying that Love is life transforming. And Aphrodite is Love.  

To me, gratitude is the most important step in any prayer. This will help you reach a deeper spiritual connection. As life gets hectic and we normalize seeing Greek Gods in our lives, it's easy to forget they are powerful immortal beings. Gratitude reminds you of their greatness and humbles you in their presence. I know I make a lot of jokes about the gods from time to time here on tumblr, but I make sure to count my blessings and show gratitude every time I remember.

3. Request. (This is optional, maybe there’s a day where you are just giving Gratitude for Aphrodite). In this step, you are praying for something. Maybe a change in your life, love, friendship, to have a good day or for your relationship with Aphrodite to get stronger, but you are requesting and hoping for something to change, improve, appear or go away.

This is also the time to add: “this or something better.”  You are human, and humans have a limited view of things. Adding, “This or something better” means you understand that the gods can see farther than you can and are open to the changes should you accidentally be requesting something you don’t realize will harm you. It helps you avoid the “be careful what you wish for or you might get it” trap.  

For example: When I was younger, I remember wanting to be in a specific coven with all my heart. They rejected me and I was devastated. I decided to work on my own so I studied books instead. A couple of years later I met a woman who used to be in the very coven I wanted to be in. I asked why she left and she told me the head witch running the coven treated them like servants. She would emotionally abuse them, have them clean her house all while paying outrageous fees under the guise that she would eventually teach them something. When coven members tried to quit she would threaten them with curses. Instead of actually teaching them, she had them reading and studying books… the same books I had been reading... My friend and I both learned the same things the only difference being I didn’t get my confidence shattered or my wallet cleaned out. I DODGED A HUGE BULLET. This was a blessing in disguise and they happen ALL THE TIME. If your request gets turned down, trust that its for the better.

4. Thanking in advance. Thank Aphrodite for her time but also thank her in advance for making it come true even if it hasn’t happened yet. This highers the chances of your request being fulfilled because you are showing trust. But be sure it is honest trust. You can do things to show trust without actually feeling it. You want to get to a point where you trust Aphrodite has it all taken care of.

5. Let it go. Trust that she heard you and is working on it. Do not worry about it, because worrying only tells Aphrodite you don’t trust her. What to do instead? You can ask Aphrodite to help you avoid worrying about it. You can do tasks that you still need to do like school, cleaning, working out, etc. You can prepare yourself to receive it. If you do happen to think about your prayer, focus on the gratitude aspect of it and let go of the rest.  

Sometimes the gods reply to our requests by giving us a vibe, a nudge, an idea, a feeling, etc. Here is a post that further talks about the gods replying and what those replies can look like (LINK).

Now that you know my standard format for how to make a prayer (and you are welcome to make your own format by using this one or making a completely new one.) 

There are so many ways to pray that don’t resemble the standard praying form. Here are the various methods to pray:

Talking: You can talk directly to Aphrodite whether mentally or out loud. You can be as casual or formal as you are comfortable with. There are people who address her as Lady Aphrodite, Goddess Aphrodite, etc. This all depends on you and her. When you talk directly to her, you might want get replies so please click on that godphone post I linked earlier.

Singing/dancing/listening to music: You can make her a song/play an instrument or play her a song that has the same energy and lyrics that imitate your desires. And you can dance or rock to the song. You are sending Aphrodite your energy and energy changes with different thoughts or actions you take. For example: I want to feel empowered so I start singing and dancing to Disney’s “Let it go.” Aphrodite knows what is in your heart so by singing these songs, you can quickly convey what you are feeling. Conversely, pay attention to the song and verse you are addicted to or have stuck in your head. It could be a message from Aphrodite or revealing subconscious feelings.

Meditation: This one should be self explanatory.

Prayer: As I mentioned earlier you can make a prayer or you can read one you find but it has to make you feel Aphrodite is with you.

Journal: I have a journal method that can help you connect with Aphrodite (LINK). 

There is A LOT more methods you can use but these are some of my favorites. 

I hope it helps! 

May Aphrodite open your heart to happiness and a deeper connection.
