#i guesss even though not really at all

[kiun]

maybe controversial??? i guess???? but I very much dislike how Yato still calls her Nora, which is something Hiiro has said multiple times that she despises being called. Like she's always made sure to call him Yato instead of Yaboku because she knows he hates that name. And yet Yato can't reciprocate that with her even here. It's just disappointing to me especially since this is supposed to be a moment where he tries to protect her :/

[i-want-to-fuck-ing-cuddle]

i think i may need to accept that i’m just never gonna like going out, at least not to clubs and not really at night.

i think i need to try to put my social energy into other things. because i keep trying to make plans to go out and i always end up not going for one reason or another, and the real underlying reason if i’m being honest with myself is that i don’t really want to go out in the first place.

it’s just overwhelming and overstimulating, but i’m also usually bored at the same time. and it ends up just being incredibly frustrating and exhausting. not to mention i work weekends right now, and putting myself into a situation where I know i’m gonna be burnt out the next day is not something i’m usually able to convince myself to do. i always feel so guilty tho. especially on nights like tonight, where my roommate has a drag show. i really want to come out and show my support for him, and also i love drag and i do miss shows in a lot of ways. but i’m also really trying to prioritize taking care of myself and my mental health. and i don’t think clubs and shit are good for my mental health personally :(

Do you think any of the admirals would adopts a kid?? Abandoned, survivor of an attack or anything

HELL YEAH?!

We already know that canonically Sengoku would as we seen it with Rosinante so that one needs no explanation.

I went over this scenario with Kuzan over here.

I can definitely see Sakazuku also joining the club, with his ultimate justice motto, he might be inclined to take in the child and pass on that belief to them, to train them and strengthen them so they can take down pirates just as he does. The childwould be the one person he can put his trust in to get the job done when needed, and the one weakness of the Red Dog.

Borsalino, despite his…-Eccentric personality, say shat you mean but all I see is parent material, you look me in the eye and tell me a child woul’t enjoy his almost comedic lacksaidacal manner. I feel it would be really calming for a child who has experienced tragedy to have this general who thinks everything is funny, it would ease their worries. After experiencing traumatic events having this dude who shows no worry, no anger just a calm even intrigued demeaned might be able to ground them.

Issho, need I say more about this guy? Of course, he would take a child in, did you see how he helped that one kid when he first appeared? He would be the most gentle dad to their child, always being considerate of their past and how certain things might trigger them. But don’t be fooled, he would be gentle but struck parent, no wrongdoings will be excused, he will always be gentle but remain firm.

Aramaki? Gosh, maybe.Maybe he would but I just hate that guy so much, I mean my biased is definitely getting in the way her but anyone who sees the celestial dragons as actual Gods, nuh uh. But I guess IF we put that aside…nah I can’Tim sorry 😂. I GUESSS he would there’s no red flags regarding his caretaking other than his horrible and messed up ideals, but let’s be honest any kid taken in by him would be high tailing his ass outta there.

I know you din’t probably expect this one but Zephyr also passes the bill. Despite his over the top views, they are basically a coping mechanism on the pain cause by losing his wife and child. So I feel as though encountering an abandoned/survivor child might just be what he needs to back to his gentle and caring origins, the child might be able to fill that hole left in him by his loss and give him a new reason to keep going and reignite his views on justic

Another Painoko rambling. (Spoilers)

So as I'm rereading this manga, I'm at the part where Ryuji and Makoto are dating now. What I didn't realize that they don't explore the facet of what a gay dude and a pre transition trans girl.

Like they just don't do any of that kind of questioning at all!

The main reason why they broke up was a misunderstanding and a lot of unspoken grudges and implications.

I guess that's why I still chew on this manga's way of telling but at the same time it's kind of infuriating from a trans perspective.

They legitimately have the perfect set up to ask these kinds of questions.

The point I'm at in the story is the Christmas arc, before Ryuji buys a gift for Makoto.

And I remember that Saki (Aoi btw, I found out that Aoi is her last name) got really sad that her dad had to cancel plans and leave early only to find someone resembling her mom as she wanders the street and chases after only to trip and unable to fully process everything, just to find Makoto and cry in her arms. And Ryuji saw.

Which is what I remember is why Ryuji broke up with Makoto later on, but wow what a bullshit way to break them up!

He knows a small semblance of Saki's current situation and he's considered an emotionally intelligent dude, hell he calls out Saki multiple times. Even if she's not a hard case to crack he sees through her facade.

Granted I guess all she did tell him was about a love life where they both fall out of love with Makoto and asks if he's willing to go out with her, as a hypothetical. Which is the only insight he has on Saki's headspace.

So I guesss this kind of assumption isn't too far fetched to see your SO hugging someone that confessed to them and be heartbroken.

And there is Makoto being rather desperate on wanting things to go back, with how her life has been wanting to revert problems that were never there if she had kept a better secret.

And this does significantly matter in a relationship, since it's not really dating if one of you just wants to make amends after accidentally rejecting the other.

So I guess them making up later and the other two actually going out at the end does technically work out.

Though they very well could've made Ryuji a Bi icon by saying he likes both versions of Makoto -3-

But it's just a weird technicality that it doesn't feel satisfying does it?

A panel taken from Senpai wa Otokonoko chapter 43 by Pomu

So yeah it's getting late, I'll come back to report more on Painoko if I got more to talk about :p

[possuminnit]

tell me about,, ur,,, OCS!!!!

SORRY I TOOK AGES GETTING TO THIS i wanted to answer it on my pc for typing reasons. umm i know i havent really talked about any of them but since i went on a dive into looking into my neph lore yesterday ill tell you about her!!! (link is art of her lolz)

so baseline info about the mc server i was going to do with irls because thats where she started; we were all making silly characters to play over i think it was summer break just because we could. basic thing is a lot of things would happen to our character, then something very major, then the next day they would wake up in the mc world. so everyone was from a different universe basically. i think each lineup was like... two were aliens/alien-esk but each from different little worlds <- not super sure, one was more from a modern world, one was from a pjo universe, then neph was from a old time-y royal thang. (100% chose that because i had techno;s crown on my skin and wanted an excuse to keep it also because i was very into royal aus when i made her)

OK so basically her story is like. any royal au you'd ever read inthe world. she grew up with her parents heavily disinterested in her, leaving her teachers to deal with her bc they were like who care we just need you to wear the crown one day and rule so we can chill forever. acted decently the same with her brother who is like 4 years younger than her or something. who cares this is not about him !!

her story is a lot of just being ignored and being both understanding and vaguely spiteful over it whatever, she deals, does her school yada yada. one day she ends up getting pissed off after her birthday is ignored once again so he goes to the royal guard and is like hiii! train me :3 and her being prince he was like. yeah ok ? sure. whatever. uerrmm she trains, shes like awesome really, she gets better than the guard over the time its cool its whatever shes just cool like that. Whhile she's training she meets one of the guards, also in training, her name was evelyn . You already know they fall in love 🔥 but its secret they cant really tell about it because of a lot of reasons ehhh whatever. years pass its pretty cool they also get caught a few times but dont Amen. changes on neph's 21st birthday though, her fuckass dad catches them kissing, drags both of them to the court in front of the queen and is like GUESSS WAHT.!

the king and queen order for evelyn to be beheaded. and she is, in that moment, and neph has to watch it. neph is ordered to be exiled but shes like you literally just killed the love of my life <- does some cool quick thang and yanks a sword from a guards hand and starts demolishing the court room. she doesnt get away unscathed obviously, shes a little fucked up and bloody but she does not care she keeps going 🔥anyways she kills her mum and dad, steals her dads crown, then dips. and then yay wow she wakes up in the mc world !!!!!

theres some other things in-between there, and even more about her after the whole dropping into the mc world but ehhh... u get her baseline lore thats ok. i willll say she does fall in love again and is so sick and twisted over it ❤️Sorry neph

"I must be taking on too many cases lately. I mean, I feel fine but..." *pikachu's brow is furrowed while he places a hand to his head, the tiny detective sighing before looking up at his kokonephew*

"Here you were having Bobbery look after you for overworking yourself while I've been doing the same thing. It's odd though. While I've been taking on the same amount of cases I've been making sure to pace myself. Not only that, but I've been feeling fine so why have I randomly been waking up in different rooms lately? No matter how hard I try, I can't remember a thing..."

"Oh...? What's wrong, Uncle Pikachu...?" Yuma asks with a concerned expression on his face. Although he's pretty sure he knows exactly why his tiny uncle is feeling that way... and as he tells Yuma about the strange phenomenon that's been happening to him, that only confirms it. Much to his dismay... especially because he possibly can't tell him about the perpetrator behind his strange behavior! Said perpetrator hovering right about Pikachu with an amused smile on her face, making him squint at her....

"I..... I see... yeah, you don't overwork yourself like I tend to sometimes do. A...And yeah, you haven't been acting...strange. O-Or anything... but hmm... m....maybe you're unable to remember anything from when you went to sleep until you woke up is because...u-um... maybe one of the others moved you...? L-Like perhaps you accidentally passed out in a room that wasn't yours and then...yeah.... Or if you woke up in another room but yours, maybe you was just that tired, that your mind is getting things mixed up in your head. Exhaustion can do quite a number on you, after all..." ("Augh, I hate pretending I don't know what's really wrong. But there's no way I could ever tell him that a certain someone constantly possesses his body, even though I told her not to...!!")

("Aww, don't be like that, Master: how else am I supposed to play my favorite game? I wouldn't dare possess you or twin Master, after all. I would say I'll promise not to keep doing it often, buuut we both know that's not gonna happen, kyahaha~! But I guesss I can go a while without doing it, again... aren't I so sweet~?")

("Yeah, how "benevolent" of you. I swear, I'm putting that sticker on that console again for at least two weeks....") Groaning under his breath, he just rubs his poor uncle's back... "L...Let me make you coffee, to hopefully take your mind off things. That might just help..."

Doctor’s Notes, Book 7 part 4 A Court of Storms

| Delegates and Deceit | Summary, Things of note since last entry: Guest quarters, waiting game, tentative exploration, Watchful guards, an expensive exchange. An Audience with Serissa. A humbling information, the delegates, A curious court, Ymira, theories and suspicions.

Persuading the representatives, a realization. Tartha, A sceptic perspective. Concerning discoveries. Nosy court members, what to do next, Orlekto’s pets, seafood platter.

| 1 / 7 | I wonder how long they’ll make us wait.

At the very least I think we’re last in line, if at all.

Best to just be patient for now I guesss. Not sure what else to do besides that. If we act out of line in any way, I… fear we won’t even be considered for an audience anymore.

-

There was an explosion… Scared the living shit out of me. All of us were wondering what fuck that was. But we were hesitant to go and check It out. Peeking through the door outsider our quarters, we noticed that there were two storm guards posted there. So we didn’t really dare to leave to investigate. I think that it came somewhere from the room, or the area left of us though.

The guards didn’t really seem worried or alerted by the noise at all however. So I guess its fine?

-

Again. Another explosion. I’m kind of worried. Is this place flooding? is there an attack? The guards seems about as impassive as before. is this normal?

-

After there was a third explosion, we discussed for a bit, and wanted to at the very least check on the rooms next to us. Within the other guest quarters on the right, everything seemed to be fine at least. Empty, but no signs of flooding or anything. But the noise is definitely coming from the area west, of us.

After going back to our quarters, relieved that the giant guards didn’t attack, or care much for our movements. I offered to quickly explore for a bit. See what the noise was about, and get a lay our surroundings.

( I think the map I got from the book, aligns with the layout of this floor. But I would have to check my suspicions first as well.

Promising the others I’d make it a short trip, and to be careful, I drank one of my invisibility elixirs and snuck out of our quarters.

It’s a relief that storm giants don’t have tremor sense as well ( I think) for they didn’t seem to spot me. ( or if they did, the didn’t care?)

Eitherway, the noise we kept hearing turned out to be a large oceanic steam vent. Located in a small area south-west of our room. That, is what the noise was that we kept hearing.

Am kind of curious about the properties of thermal vent like this, but it’s tad too dangerous to study for my liking. Especially here. So after a quick look around in the main hall, the one that the giants were guarding and stationed in, I eventually decided to head back. Satisfied for now with the bit of exploration I’d done.

The options to explore much further were kind of limited eitherway. There was a tunnel leading out of the room. But it was submerged, deeper within a pool not far from the giants.

And I didn’t fancy myself a swim, to say the least.

After that, we just waited. Omrick and Lym seemed a bit stumped as to what do. Didn’t really know how to kill the time, since we had quite a lot of it at the moment.

| 2 / 7 | We waited there for a while. A night even, I think. Though it’s hard to tell underground. All of it was starting to work on my nervous though. Though the waiting not so much, as recent events. Some of the things that been brewing in my mind for a while now.

It… took me while to even work up to courage.    I think they could tell.

…

I told them.

Told them about her. About my father. About the patients he’d treated. And the young girl he one day offered to treat as well. I… feel like a rambled a lot though. Don’t know if I explained it that well. I’d been meaning to tell them for a while now. Felt like I owed them at least some explanation. One perhaps long overdue. I had been meaning to tell them before we faced the stone giants.

But things kept getting in the way. And I never quite knew if I could trust Aldrin, or Gryff with it. If I should tell either of them.

But, with all the waiting here… I don’t know. Didn’t think there’d be a good moment either-way.

So I asked them. Told them, about what happened.

About that question I’ve wondering about for so long now.

Though… I forgot to tell them about happened to  Her  a few years later though. Didn’t really know how to bring it up either.

I… Don’t even know for certain. Left some of the more gruesome details out as well. -- They want me to talk to her though. Can’t say I’m particularly stoked about the idea. If at all. And most definitely not here.

Guess I’ll have to see though. After we’ve dealt with all this. | 3 / 7 |

After waking up the following day and waiting around a bit longer, we eventually decided to just try and look around a bit. See if the giants would let us. We still hadn’t be called, or informed of anything in terms of our audience. And with everything that’s going on, it’s not like we have forever either. We tentatively look around a bit in the rooms adjacent to our guest quarters. The guard fortunately didn’t intervene, and kind of just let us be. Though while we were arguing if we should go through the submerged tunnel in the pool below the main hall, we had an unexpected encounter. Vaal, the cloud giant approached us. Wanting to talk.

Being at least somewhat curious, and intrigued by our presence here. He asked what our business was. What we were doing here. And we asked him the same. Elaborating a bit first on why we were here. And upon inquiring, indeed confirmed that he was here to have an audience with Serissa as well.

The most curious part though, was that he had an offer for us. (Moog wasn’t lying when she said he liked money.) He offered to put in a good word for us, if we could pay him.

Best way we knew how, was with the gold we’d recently received. And after a quick barter. We gave him about 3k each. After which he walked away. Leaving us wondering if we had just been scammed…

--

Unsure of what to do next, we just headed back to our quarters and stayed there for a while.

But to our surprise, not long afterwards, a guard came to visit us, telling us we were to have an audience now, with Serissa. It would seem that he honoured his end of his deal.

| 4 / 7 | To say our audience with her was nerve wrecking, would be an understatement. While nothing bad happened during our meeting with her. There is a very big difference between talking to a king, compared to the sheer amount of  pressure, and authority, that a Storm giant lord exudes, as we spoke to the current head of the Ordening, Serissa. After climbing the staircase, escorted by some of the storm guards, we arrived a grand and spectacular amphitheatre, that served as the throne room for Serrisa. Where on the far side of the room, 3 giants were seated on their thrones. Her two advisors, Uthor and Ymira.

And seated upon the throne, made of dark obsidian, and adorned with 4 dragons skulls, floating several feat above the ground, Was Serissa. A somewhat youthful storm giant. Though not any less imposing, or authoritative. Exuding an undeniable, commanding presence, despite her apparent youth as the youngest of the sisters Adorned in grey robes, and almost anvil like headpiece, securing the storming lengths of her hair as it fell past her waist into a regal braid. And what I assumed it first to be great sword, sheathed into a block of stone behind her throne. Must have instead been a hammer. The flawlessly carved stone serving as it’s head, gilded with precious metals, and forged in way unlike any other maul I’ve seen. -- we bowed to her. Awaiting permission to speak, as we gathered our nerves. She asked at to our purpose. Lym, answering her questions the best she could, explaining ourselves, our reason for coming here. ( Hopefully not in vain.) I commend her bravery, her tact and humbleness as she spoke the lord of Storm giants. Speaking in giant, pleading our case and purpose.

We told her what we knew. The info we had found about her father Hekaton. And while I worried at first that the info we found, wasn’t really worthy of her time, after we explained ourselves. It seemed that she herself, agreed with some of our suspicions.

That her father was still alive.

Most others giants didn’t seem to agree with the idea. And many of them ones present looked like they had things they wanted to say on the matter. But instead wisely kept their mouths shut.

Not even her advisor, agreed with her on the notion that her father might still be alive. But they were quickly shushed when they discreetly voiced their opinions to her.

Instead. After commanding the attention and silence of all that were present. She tasked us, with a mission of sorts. To prove ourselves, to their cause. All of the giants that had gathered here within Maelstrom stronghold as delegates, where here to vote on whether they should go to war. On the smallfolk.

If we, could convince them to refrain from voting in favour of the war. She would be able would be able to find a way to restore the Ordening. And focus her efforts on finding her father.

If, we should succeed.

We had still more questions, but were instead immediately dismissed as she had other matters to attend to. And not wanting to risk disobeying her orders and her rule. We simply just headed back again to our quarters for now. -- Upon our arrival back at the main entry hall though. One of the guards informed us that Braxow, the stone giant had come looking for us. Wanting to talk. So, I guess we at least we have somewhere to start I suppose.

| 5 / 7 | While we were in Serissa’s court, there was one thing that stood out to us all. Which was the Ymira, when she referred to one of her advisors. Omrick in particular, caught on to it quickly. For he’s the who had heard the name first. Who’d heard it before.

Why did a storm giant, borrow a book, and notes about aquatic abominations, from Dave? Is Dave somehow involved with the Storm giants? Or is there more going on with Serissa’s advisors, then we thought?

We theorized for a while as to what the meaning all of this would be. Suspicious now, of some of the Storm giants in this court. And their intent. Or if the Kraken, had somehow infiltrated even the ranks of Storm giants. For if so, than that does not bode well…

--

Those most important matter however, is proving ourselves to Serissa. And somehow convincing the delegates. For starters with Braxow, as he already wanted to talk. I wonder what for though.

After convincing the guards to let us past into the giant’s quarters, Omrick was kind enough to “knock” on his door. Revealing a simple, but small and barren room as he opened the door. Braxow, was simply curious as to our purpose here as well. Wondering if Annam had somehow led him to cross our paths. He’s a rather religious fellow. Following the teachings and guidance of Annam to heart. So we kind of tried to make our case, keeping that in mind. Explaining the Omrick had seen a vision while visiting the temple of Annam, about the giants. And that it led us on this path. That we had spoken to the oracle, before the temple had been destroyed. Which was rather saddening news for him. Anger visibly swelled up when we explained that a dragon had been responsible for it’s destruction . But that we sought the restore the Ordening, under the guidance we’d received from Annam. While he was somewhat moved by our words. He mentioned however that he would only follow the will of Annam. And if Annam’s decision was to go to war, then he would follow his will. So we could only ask of him, to ask Annam once more. Hoping that his faith would guide him, and us down the right path. Leaving his quarter behind as we headed for the Frost delegate next. -- Hellenhild wasn’t really that difficult to persuade. As soon as he opened the door, he was actually quite relieved to see some smallfolk. Relieved in the sense that he could fight them I mean.

With only a small amount of help though, Omrick managed to best him in battle, earning his respect.

And after a bit of coaxing, managed to dissuade him from voting for going to war, and instead hopefully help us find the Serissa’s father. Promising him honourable, and grand fights ahead, should he agree. -- * At first it was just a bit weird. But it’s happened a second time now. After we left Braxow’s room. One of Hekaton’s daughters was in the hallway outside. Along with Serissa’s advisor, Ymira. Discussing something, though quickly leaving upon spotting us.

 The same happened after Hellinhiild. As we spotted the other daughter and a guard. Leaving immediately upon noticing us exiting their room.

I worry as to what are they plotting

**

When we went back to our quarters, we noticed one of the sisters headed towards giant quarters as well. I really hope they aren’t undoing all the work we just did.

| 6 / 7 |

Tartha seemed the most complicated one to talk to. From what Guh told us. Is she’s looking to avenge Duke Zalto, And I’m worried she’s just gonna try and crush us… as soon as she opens door.

--

We visited her room, but… she didn’t want to talk. I think she is hungover? Probably best to let her sleep it of and try tomorrow I guess.

--

Might have gone to her room a bit too early perhaps. I don’t think she is a morning person. Thankfully, she didn’t immediately close the door upon seeing us. But that was mostly because she thought that we wouldn’t leave, and leave her alone until we’d said our part. She about halved listened to what we said, in her still half asleep stupor, as we tried to make our case to her.

She didn’t care much about us trying to convince her that Hekaton was still alive. Though about halfway through our conversation of her at least trying to hear her out, she at least properly opened the door for us as we caught a glimpse of her room. Her’s being the most adorned and well well furnished. With several dragon trophies decorating her room. Along with armours, and weapons. And shields made from dragons, all made by herself I presume. The dragon tooth shield in particular was quite something.

But like I said, the thing about Hekaton she didn’t much care for. But our theory, of their being a dragon in the storm giant court definitely caught her attention.

--

When we went back to our rooms, after our audience. We came to a conclusion. Or a strong suspicion / theory.

What if the Kraken hadn’t just infiltrated the court. But Ymira is… somehow a lot more involved in this than we initially thought.

Lym brought up a really good point that, if dragons are able to… shapeshift, them how limited is that ability.

Could they transform and look even like a giant? Or pose as one of their advisors.

Or what if, they could working for the Kraken. Or worse. Pulling and manipulating the strings. Expending their and her influence here. -- When we told Tartha this, and that we had an plan to confirm and check our suspicions. She was quite interested to see for herself if anything of the sorts was going on. So Lym offered to cast true sight on her, which would reveal to her, if we were indeed telling to truth. If our suspicion, or if our theory was correct.

Ideally we would have done so ourselves, during our audience with Serissa, in hindsight. But none of us really thought of it at the time. And getting another chance to do so, wouldn’t be that easy.

But for her. For Tartha, she could just walk up and check for herself. Didn’t think that we’d be even able to get close.

So Lym prepared the spell. And cast it on her. And she went to have a look around.

| 7 / 7 | She’d gone upstairs. And about half an hour later, she came back down. Motioning for us her to follow. Something indeed wasn’t right here. And she’d just seen so for herself. Omrick and Lym we’re quite smug, that their theory was in fact actually true. And rightfully so. swaggering after her, to her room.

But if they are right… I don’t think that bodes well.

--

After closing the door, Tartha explained that the advisor Ymira. Appeared to her, as an Ancient Blue Dragon…

I… I imagine that it is the same one that killed Harshnag, and destroyed the temple.

But worse yet. She saw a tentacle protruding from the dragons neck….

I… was really hoping such a thing wouldn’t be the case. Cause that doesn’t bode well. At all. If whatever is controlling people, can control dragons…

The story about the Kraken sorcerer, sounds even less appealing now…

It wasn’t just Ymira either, that had a tentacle sticking out of her neck. There were others.

Tartha mentioned at this point, said that this was now way out of our league. And that she herself would tackle this rather large problem and issue. The war that was being considered was far less important now, than this. For something larger and more much ominous is going on behind the scenes. And if the vote for the war, comes to a pass, whatever is going, it will only get worse.

The only thing I’m worried about now, is what we should do. On one hand I think Tartha underestimates that we can in fact help. But im not sure what to do, or where to even start either.

Hopefully her talking to some of the other delegates, and lobbying against the war will at least help. But how do we rid the court, of this parasite far larger and stronger than any other.

--

We headed back to our rooms after that. To think.

But once we arrived in the main hall, a giant emerged from the pool of water leading out. With giant crabs along with him. Saying that he was here to serve some food.

This being the same giant that had been an asshole to us before, whenever he got the opportunity. And one of Ymira’s personal guards, I think.

We said we weren’t hungry. But it seems that… he was here to feed to crabs. | -- |

Hey hey heyyyy!! Here was the fluff fic i mentioned in this post that was supposed to be short but guesss what? its 3.4k words/8 pages long! 😃 istfg jaghshs anyways..enjoy!!

Doc Green..Ock??

Warnings: few cusses, grammar, use of "dude" once but mostly gender neutral, no use of y/n..i think

Pairings: Sinister Five x gn!reader(platonic); Octogoblin x gn!reader(implied romantic but can also be close platonic)

Summary: A small spark of creativity could make a flame of..interesting events..

Special thanks to @aviary-co for the GIF 🥰

You were tinkering away at the built-in lab in your house, having a close relationship with Tony Stark has really many pros than cons and this being one of them. 

The house that you are currently living in alongside the former 'sinister five' is included in that list. It's a very nice, simple modern two-story house that was able to accommodate 5-6 people. It is fenced and has both front and backyard, patches of grasses and bushes placed neatly and accordingly. (the design and layout of the house and lot is up to your imagination)

Now, back to you tinkering. You were happily making some little adjustments to Peter's suit. The boy trusted you enough to allow you to add a few modifications. Though you wouldn't call yourself some kind of mechanic, or any of that but you were knowledgeable enough that you could probably make an animatronic come to life. (the modification is up to you since i could not come up with anything at the moment 😁)

While adding a few touch ups on the suit, your eyes glanced at the goggles sitting at the table on your right. It was Norman's green goblin goggles that you decided to keep. The man was insistent on throwing it away, and you couldn't blame him for doing so, but you don't want to waste such a fine accessory! Let's just say you're something of a collector yourself. You also changed a little bit of its design, giving it steampunk vibes, just so the former villain could rest easy. And it worked!

You gently put down Peter's spiderman suit and pushed yourself away from the table you were working on, letting your swivel chair roll against the floor and bring you to the table where the eye accessory sat. Taking it from the table, you bring it close to your face. The memory of making a model and 3d printing the added design on the goggles made you smile. Norman's reaction seeing it made you smile wider, he said it didn't even dawn at him that it was the goggles he used to use, his face contorting from amusement to what you can think was wonder..although you weren't sure at that part since you were rambling off about resting your case on keeping the accessory. 

You chuckle as the memory keeps playing in your head, leaning back to your chair and bringing the goggles with you as you prop your feet up on the table where the goggles were previously placed. Otto's face was also of amusement as his eyes kept switching back and forth from you and the goggles, at least that's what you remembered seeing while being a rambling mess in front of the two scientists. 

Speaking of..

You wonder where they are, you stopped replaying the memory as you try to remember what happened before you decide to hyperfixate on the kid's suit. 

It took you a minute, maybe more, to realize that they were all in the living room. Doing whatever men do when they're not busy. You could probably guess Norman is probably in the kitchen preparing dinner with Otto helping him, Max probably playing video games, while Flint and Curtis..maybe playing chess? You've seen them play chess against each other from time to time so the idea is not impossible. 

Or you know, you could've just got up from your chair and see what they were doing but no. You're still on the chair..because an idea was sparking in your brain. It was a very random, yet mischievous and maybe inching towards the "stupid" side, idea that it made you take your feet off the table and sit up. 

What if you take off the recently added designs on the goggles, it was detachable, and wear it WITH Otto's coat..? 

The thought makes you all giddy and grin mischievously, wondering what the two's reactions will be. And without further ado you carefully detached the gold-painted designs, flee your lab and go to Otto's room. 

You did not waste any second as you quite literally sprinted to the stairs and up to Otto's room while putting on the goggles on your head. You heard them call out to you and you replied with a quick, "Everything's fine, it's just...IDEA!!!!" This situation, you being all giddy and excited and stuff and running around, may or may have not happened quite a few times before that they have decided to leave you to your own devices when it occurs.

You reached Otto's door and swiftly opened it, you took a second to scan the room if it was empty or were you disrupting something, finding nothing you also decided to glance at the stairs to see if any of your..targets.. followed you. Relieved on seeing none you entered the room and quietly shut the door. 

Otto's room was as simple and neat as the man himself. Everything was well-organised and not a speck of anything out of place in the room. You have admired the way he had made himself at home countless times before as this wasn't the first you entered his quarters and it just makes you..maybe a little warm inside. Seeing the physical resemblance of his comfort, which took awhile but you couldn't blame the man, brings a little joy to you. 

FOCUS.

Oh right. The idea. Nearly throwing yourself to the closet as you sprinted across the room, you hastily opened it. You did a small double-take at your actions though, checking if you did not accidentally rip the closet door from its hinges. Seeing as you did not, you carefully dug through the clothes the doctor had bought for himself a month ago, trying to find the coat he wore when he first arrived in this universe as quickly as you could. 

Where the hell- OH.

You quickly snatched the piece of clothing and swiftly put the coat on. The smell that just screams Otto Octavios, along with the warmth the coat is giving, drowns your senses. It's just so comfortable and-and–

FOCUS.

Right. Right. RIGHT. Focus! You then hold the lenses of the goggles that were sitting on top of your head and you bring it down to your eyes. Adjusting it a little making sure it was sitting comfortably on your face while trying to find a mirror. Once you catch your reflection you can't help but laugh. Otto's coat was so fucking big on your frame that it almost made you look like a small child wearing an adult's clothing. The shoulder part was hanging off your shoulder, the sleeves are big and long that your hands are nowhere to be seen, and the coat has pooled on your feet, giving a little bit of cloak vibes to you. 

You rolled up the sleeves a little just so you could at least see your hand, patting the coat and off you go. 

You opened the door and peeked to the hallway, seeing the coast was clear you closed the door behind you and walked to the stairs. You took a small breath in and out and prepped yourself, quickly making an impromptu introduction in your head as you made your way down.

You halted before your feet could be seen and peeked from the small railings of the handle of the stairs, the lively living room clear from your spot. They were all talking amongst themselves and you guessed right about where each of them would be, your targets busy, the other two also busy..wait where's Max?

"The hell are yo-" 

Your brain ran billion miles per hour as you connected the dots and was able to quietly shush Max, possibly flailing your arms with the long sleeves of the coat looking like you had amputated your arms in the air while silently shushing the man. The electricity wielding human was able to shut himself up on time that he didn't gain any attention from the people on the other side of the room.

"Just gooo and act like you didn't see me!"

You yelled in a whispering manner while shooing him away. He looked like he was about to ask something but you quickly shut him down with a look. He obeyed but with a disbelieving laugh and shaking his head, walking back to the couch he was sitting on previously. Flint and Curtis asked him why he was laughing but he kept silent and shrugged. Although Max was eyeing you as he continued playing. 

That was fucking clooose.

With a last huff of determination and a small smirk of mischief, you finally made yourself known. 

You let out the evilest cackle you could make and stomped your unmatched socked feet on the stairs, "Can the Sinister Five come out and plaaay?" you spoke loudly and may have made your voice sound like you have gone insane, maybe singing Beetlejuice's part in the musical is paying off a little at this moment. Your expression,  of course, you did not forget. A wicked grin and scrunched brows were plastered on your face, resembling a manic person's expression as you turned towards your audience. 

Max was trying not to laugh, Flint was confused, Curtis was amused at the performace while your targets, Otto and Norman, had little smiles on their faces but still confused about the situation.

Oh come on! I'm supposed to be fucking scary.

You whined in your head, their reaction annoying you a little. Although you did look a little ridiculous with the large coat and goggles and all. You didn't hide your annoyance though, you used it to continue and fuel your performance, "Oh, is this amusing you?" You sneered with a smooth tilt of your head, dropping the grin and replacing it with a deep frown. 

"We don't..talk like that, dear.." Otto's small pause was clearly an indication that he was trying not to laugh at the performance you were freely giving. "We could-" Norman's thought was cut off as the lights flickered. 

Max's joyous expression dropped into something serious at the flicker, the former sandman and lizard glancing at him accusingly made him yell, "what?! Just because I can control electricity y'all can look at me like that."

While all of them bickered you laughed, evil-ly, cutting their conversation. "You're all reeeaally underestimating me..aren't you?" You tilted your head to the other side while you prolonged the word, your wicked grin back to your face.

The lights continue to flicker, their expression now is much more serious than before, thinking that this is an actual foe and not the friend they have all known and began to love, moreso for the two scientists in the adjacent kitchen about the latter. 

Max was confused though, he just talked to you not long ago before you started this whole thing. Actually, everyone is confused. They all had just spoken to you, even if briefly, and they are met with this….?

The expressions they're wearing satisfied you that you stopped messing with lights and started to laugh, genuinely and hysterically, not the evil one. You were bent over while clutching your stomach, laughing loudly, "Your faces!! HA!" You wheeze as you take off the goggles to wipe the tears from the corners of your eyes. 

The previous tension that slowly filled the room dissipates into small chuckles as the group collectively relaxes. "This kid..I swear.." You heard Curtis mumble loud enough for the other people in the room to hear, making you double your laughter to the point that you were laying down on the cold floor. 

"I- hehAHA- I- " wheeze "- I got you though!!" You snicker as you try to tone down your laughing but instead you laugh harder. 

"That you did, you little minx. That you did.." Norman says with a little sigh. You could hear his feigned disappointment and a little bit of sarcasm through your laughing, "Though Otto's previous remark stands true. We don't talk like that, honey.." 

You have finally calmed yourself down and are now only a giggling mess on the ground. "Yeah, yeah, suuure.." Chortling in between sentences as you sit up, crossing your legs as you look up to them from your spot. Max has his hand on his face while chuckling to himself, rubs his face before resuming his game, Flint and Curtis have also gone back to playing their chess, and Norman and Otto had delighted smirks etched on their face as one has leaned on the counter with both hands and the latter has his arms crossed on his chest while looking at you, his mechanical appendages floating behind him and chittering amongst themselves. Maybe they held a little bit of pride in their eyes but it was mostly joy and amusement. 

You smirk as you twirl the goggles on your hands, having to roll up the sleeves of the giant man's coat beforehand, "So..I had a little thought.." you started but before you could continue you hear Flint humorously grumble, "here we go again.." earning small chuckles from the men in the room and a small laugh from you. "It's not like what you saw before noo! no, no.. it's just a thought really…just a thought." You reassure them with an eased grin and small flick of your other hand, "What would've been my villain name with this get up? I was thinking…Doc..Green..Ock…?? Wait- wait no that-" 

All of the scientists look at you in bewilderment, "Doc Green Ock- what???" the perplexed Dr. Connors looks at your direction, now distracted from his game. 

The dark skinned villain on the other chair not far from him was laughing hysterically, unable to pause his game making him lose, "Aww, damn it!!" 

Flint rolls his eyes and crosses his arms, leaning back to his chair, "It's not like you did not name yourself just "Lizard" before, Connors.." "This is a completely different case!!" 

"- jUst - wait. Wait let me come up with something better-" You try to control the humiliating situation that you're in, standing up and walking closer to the group as you try to think of a much better name, but before you could you accidentally slipped on the ridiculously large coat you were wearing. "Oh fu-" You swear you saw your life flash before your eyes. You braced yourself for the impact,

"Woah-" "Hey!" "Dude!" You heard multiple of them cry out to you-

But someone..or something wrapped itself around your figure and caught you before you landed harshly on the ground.

"Careful!" But Otto's voice boomed louder than the rest of them, worryingly, as his top right actuator that had curled itself around your frame gently lifted you and put you back on your feet. Small relieved sighs fill the room. You shyly glanced at them, Norman had left his previous place and is now on the door of the kitchen and Otto now had his human arms on his sides. You pat the mechanical limb, like a small thank you to the both of them, "Sorry, sorry, but as I was saying- how about Doc Goblin!!" You proudly stated as the actuator slowly unraveled from your body, its claws softly snapping at you as if giving you a gentle scolding, you sheepishly grinned at the AI and at the people in the room as you wore the goggles again, "Ehhh?"

"Hmm..not bad…" Flint comments while swiftly changing some of the pieces on the chessboard, grabbing the chance to cheat while his foe was distracted. Said foe is looking at you incredulously while glancing at the former villains that are currently being ridiculed by their significant other, whose faces are nothing but pure adoration but also baffledness. 

Max saw what Flint did and was about to snitch when the former sandman gave him a 'don't you dare look'. In which the electric charged fella retaliated with something of a 'not my fault you kept on losing, idiot' look before rolling his eyes and going back to playing. 

Of course you saw that too but you decided to say nothing, "See! Flint agrees!! Doc Goblin.." you say in wonder.

"It certainly has a nice ring to it." When Otto gave his comment, the blonde scientist gave a 'meh' look and turned to Flint, who was acting as cool and collected as he could with his pointer finger rubbing his chin in thought while his eyes were trained on the board. It only took Curtis a second before giving a low and dangerous, "You changed it didn't you?" "What are you talking about?" was Flint's "confused" reply.

Otto rolled his eyes at the two bickering, slowly arguing, men then looked at you, who's prideful grin did not falter. He glances at the blue-eyed scientist, who is now approaching you, soft expression ever present on his face, "I thought you redesigned it..?" Norman asks curiously as he reaches out to touch the rim of the goggles, you saw a little flash of grief in his eyes but it was gone not long after.

"It was detachable. I wanted to preserve its old design- it has a good rim!" You tell him as you gently pried his hand from your face and hold it, giving it a gentle squeeze since you did not miss the brief flash of sadness.

He hums and kisses the back of your hand, changing the course of the conversation. "Looks good on you, love. Don't even get me started on the coat!" He comments with a chuckle, and carefully twirled you around. The comment also made the owner of the coat chortle.

You giggle as you let him spin you, the coat fluttering a little as you did.

"But I'm afraid I'll have to take it before you successfully hurt yourself." The large scientist says as he approaches the both of you. 

You look at him as you stop twirling, a small pout on your face, "Oh c'mon! I literally just wore it!" "And you nearly hurt yourself not a moment after." His tone and expression not leaving any space for arguments, but you matched his look with a stubborn huff. "Darling…." he warns, the claws of the actuators matching his energy as it chittered and clicked in warning. 

Norman on the other hand was not saying anything of the matter, his silence piques your curiosity and you glance at him, you also need his support at the moment. You were expecting to see him having the same expression Otto was wearing but instead..you saw a small mischievous smirk tugging the corner of his lips. 

Ohhhhh.. 

You both stared at each other for a moment, although your eyes were blocked by the dark lenses of the goggles a silent agreement was made. 

"Don't make me say it again, dear.." 

When Otto started to move closer to you, you immediately jumped on Norman's arms and he was quick to catch you before sprinting away from the other scientist. 

This clearly surprised Otto as it took him a moment to catch up to you two. 

You and Norman were giggling like teenagers as you ran ahead from your "persuer", carrying you to the backyard. The whirring of a Norman's glider distracted you from laughing at Otto, who was catching up quickly to the both of you with the help of his actuators. You were not able to register the next events but you heard Norman grunt in force as he leapt on his glider, not breaking a single sweat and flew away from the ground. 

A small yelp escaped your lips as you held onto the older man tightly, seeing as you were floating a few feet away from the ground, Norman doing the same thing. You trust him with your life though so you did not worry too much about it. A laugh slips from your lips as the glider turns to face Otto, seeing his "not amused" face making you laugh more with Norman joining you.

"You two are going to be the death of me.." he lightly commented with a squint. 

You playfully stuck out your tongue, "You love us though!" "I clearly do.." was his last reply before using his actuators to reach both of you. Norman, clearly not letting this game end quickly, flew much higher and farther from him, away from the reach of the mechanical limbs.

"Norman!!" Otto frustratedly yelled while you just laughed, enjoying the free ride. "Giving up already, honey?" Taunted Norman. "Who ever said I was?" former Doc Ock quickly replied and continued to chase you both. 

"Gosh I love you both.." You uttered, this made them halt from their shenanigans for a moment, "Love you too, dear." "And I you, love."

And the chaos resumes.

Did you see season 2? How are you feeling?

mmm mostly alright! i binged all of it in one go (minus ep 1 cause i saw the earlier screening) so my brain is full of information and i need time to process it more i think??

but! all in all, i enjoyed it! I thought it was fun and exciting and the plot hooked me at important times. The yenskier scenes stole the entire show and i owe them my life. Jaskier's songs were AMAZING. Lots of Good Dad Geralt content, which i can always appreciate. That one moment with Geralt and Vesemir that i described to my friends as having "Look at me vesemir. Look at me. IM the dad now!!" vibes (he's not mad, he's disappointed). The political stuff was intriguing and messed up and cool to watch. Fringilla was awesome to see this season! The interactions with yen and the sorceresses were great. Nenneke was AMAZING i loved her. Lots of neat stuff!

I do have my criticisms though. An attempt at organizing those thoughts a bit under the cut:

- they keep fucking up their main romance SO BADLY sdhfsdf. honestly yenralt doesnt feel like end-goal at ALL to me. it didnt in s1 and i hoped they would do better this season but boy they didnt.

-their reunion didnt make any sense. from geralt ok, i'll take it, cause he believed she was dead. but from YEN??? her whole "i cant believe this" or whatever??? last we knew she was still upset with him, and that's when she even thought about him at all. She has way too many things to worry about and even from last season geralt feels more like a fling that went wrong, instead of an epic romance that torments her thoughts.

-Eskel. Eskeeeel. i guess they made him unlikeable cause they would kill him immediately? and then pulled the bumblebee scene after to be like "noooo, you SHOULD care about this, i guesss." it was just bad and felt unnecessary. they could've gotten to the "mutated monsters" plot thread hundreds of different ways, and if it was as a way to hurry geralt's vision of "must protecc ciri" to "must teach her to protect herself" it was totally unnecesary cause that was already underway with vesemir's talk

-in general im just Big Fucking Mad that geralt APPARENTLY has had the ability to be nice and openly care for people this whole time, yet refused to do it for jaskier. Aside from nivellen no-one comments on this as if it's weird behavior, or geralt having "changed" at all, so we can assume he just is this way with people he cares for. except for jaskier i guess.

-playing the "no one can stand jaskier" thing as comedy really does a disservice to the character and what he can be. other people have said this better than me, but really yen is the only person that treats him with any respect, and the interactions from it are so good. it's just really sad to think about with any depth.

-the way they represented kaer morhen?? like anyone can go there?? like people can TELEPORT INSIDE?? yet triss despite having been there before has to walk up i guess? sounds like lazy writing to me. the whole thing with the whores felt off too, i didnt like any of that.

-w h y does ciri wear mascara the whole time what is the point. Also in general i hate how much they aged her compared to season 1. That kid aged 4 years overnight.

-also time is linear now but everything in the continent seems to be half a day's ride away from each other??? from oxenfurt to cintra to kaer morhen?? kdjsnfsdj it's absurd.

i probably have more thoughts but i've forgotten them dfgjkf. this is what i have for now. despite these i really did have fun with the show, it was a good time! cant wait to read a thousand fics to make up for the things i didnt like though dfjkdg

Searching Ao3 for Izuku with an Animal Quirk always has me treading with caution.

(Ramble about specific Animal Quirk tags. Ya don't haveta read if you don't like long paragraphs and such! I have fic recs at the bottom though!)

Personally, I absolutely love Winged Izuku fics. Mostly because of Hawks and Izuku interactions BUT besides that, it has potential to go abunch of ways from just him having winged. I really like it when the author has him act like bird, because I mean, birds are SO adorable. Same thing with Hawks, him acting like a bird is really cute too.

However, I say that I tread lightly with Animal Quirks, because even though usually Izuku with wings is pretty safe, him having a bunny or a cat quirk (which is INFINITELY CUTER) is MUCH more dangerous.

No tea no shade of course, for if you like anything I dont like. But for me, I stay away from explicit fics and such (which, I know, cuts at least a quarter of the mha fic total). Izuku having a Bunny Quirk, and possibly paired with Bakugou having a Wolf Quirk and BakuDeku is quite the no go if I wanna steer clear of Explicit fics. Though I have stepped my toe in the tag and the ones I've found are so good ("Haigha", for one, and I guesss "Skdaver" but that's a hybrid for Izuku)

Honestly though, maybe I just haven't been looking in the right places. I mean, I barely touch Izuku with a Cat Quirk because Im always worried it'll be like the Bunny Quirk, but now that I'm thinking about it him having a Cat Quirk would be so cute paired with Dadzawa and possibly Sansa? Just some goofy shenanigans. Though from the ones I've seen, they go *way* too into the Acting Like A Cat gimmick, instead of it being subtle, so I guess it's a 50/50 thing? Just have to start looking I suppose!

(I say this because I just read a pretty good fic called "Little Sunshine" it's really cute omg with Dadzawa and Kid Izuku but basically for the whole fic he's a cat. Check it out if you wanna see some good Hurt/Comfort, with Izuku being an emotional support animal)

Anyways lads, maybe I could get some good recommendations of Izuku with Animal Quirks that preferably steer clear from the Explicit side? I'd love ta read em!! Also also, share your ideas too! Whaddya think about the Izuku with an Animal Quirk tag?

Just to give something back if you read this lol, here's a list of animal quirk Izuku fics I liked ;D

Haigha - Skdaver - Animal Soul - Emerald Hummingbird - Pisthetaerus' wings - Feather Pals - Little Sunshine

I probably have moreee but I only started labeling my bookmarked fics by what the fic has in them anddd most of them are only the title andddd I am NOT going through all of them to label them all lol! Most of em are Winged Izuku with Big Bro Hawks, but Haigha and Animal Soul are rabbit quirk and..primarily rabbit quirk (but Izuku can switch into any animal he wants). If I get around to it I'll probably post more animal recs

Thankya for your time (°∀°)b

[hopes-peak-postal-company]

saw yttd in the fandom list. may i perhaps get an angsty letter from mod tsumugi written by sou?

anon you,,, omg

but to be honest with you, thank you for being my first yttd request! sou is one of my favorite characters. he's quite an interesting one to analyze and understand, isn't he?

i'm not sure if you've made it up to the most recent chapter, so i'll leave a larger cut for this letter in particular since it'll include spoilers for chapter 2-2's ending!

(angst isn't my strong suit but the motivation to finish this was stronk.)

a knock on your door interrupts your reverie. it's kanna.

"h-hello. i know you want some time alone to yourself, but there's something sou told me to do after... that. i'll leave it out the door for you when you're ready."

her footsteps gradually disappear. you open the door and find a cellphone opened in the notes app. it's titled with just your name on it...

you've received a letter?

entering your room again, you sit on the bed and read through it...

If you're reading this, I'm most likely dead now, aren't I? Wow, I think I felt chills reading that. Or it must be because of the air conditioning in this facility. I don't really know. But no matter the circumstances were of how I went, it's not your fault or anything, yeah? I was meant to die sooner or later anyway.

Gosh, this must be embarrassing, right? I'm sure it looked way cooler when the movie protagonists did it.

I just wish I could have been stronger like you. Just kidding! Unless...?

All jokes aside, is it weird that I started tying this on a whim after giving up on finding another way out? Everyone's scared faces, the large rocks, how we all lost hope so quickly, it all meant just one thing to me: I'm next. I've spent at least more than 3 nights now tossing and turning, thinking about the horrible ways I'm going to die in here. But when I think of you and Kanna, I don't feel afraid at all. You two have a better chance at surviving in this hellhole than I do, and I should be sulking about how unfair that is right now like when I was first given the survival percentage papers. Yet, here I am doing everything I can to protect you both, even if it means risking myself. Have I gone insane and accepted my fate this quickly?

(OK, maybe that was an exaggeration. Please don't remember just the cringy stuff I've said.)

Tragic, isn't it? I still even speak in the present tense, knowing I'm probably already done what I've talke about here.

If it isn't much of a hassle, can you take care of Kanna for me? During our time here, she's become like a sibling to me. You don't need to look after her 24/7, that is. Im sure she can handle herself well without me. As long as I die knowing you two are safer, I'm fine with whatever's in store for me beyond.

In the case that you get out, that's alright too... I guesss. Forget about everything that happened here and live a good life. Not that I'm telling you to live out your life for me too. Live out your life not to end up like me. Eat good food, meet some nice people, grow old and happy, all that jazz. May I shamelessly recommend you the seaweed soup at [redacted] Street? I swear it'll taste amazing. With all the messed up stuff we've seen here, it'll take some time to recover. You're a really strong person to have made it this far, though.

This became longer than i intendef. I don't thikn I can carry on typing any longer. How lng has it been since I last fell asleep properly in here? I know it all sounds so half-assed and last minute, but I believ in you. You'll make it out there. If reincarnation does exist, let's all meet again and get close in a world without the Death Game, yeag? I'll be waitingg

Bright Room

A wonderful red wine you sip in this most...frustrating of nights.

Not only had your attempts at getting back to the emeralds fell flat, but no matter what, the mechanic disposed of your minions rather swiftly. You scroll through the photos while holding the device you "inherited" from one of the emeralds. It appears the technical capacity was not the only gifted aspect of this goldblood. Against an indigo he could hold his own. Your eye twiches. You could dispose of him. You just had to be smarter, and find a....justification for what you planned to do. "Sir, they found the olive you asked."

The news snaps you out of your pondering, returning a smile to your face as you stand up "the one that you said would be working with the emeralds, sir. Theyll be here in a few minutes, said she was complying." "Of course, thank you. I will greet them, carry on with your duties, ensure the bright room is ready." After a hesitant right away the small lowblood runs off. You close the laptop, you had your justifications coming right to your doorstep. No need to frustrate yourself further.

You stroll downstairs, saluting any number of your minions as you do so, the resolute glare some return really does something for your mood, maybe you didnt even need the olive to blow that fucker up. Sure, he was a lowblood, but by now, it was irrelevant. He was working with the emeralds, so would be treated like the worst highblood. You spot the guest at the doorstep, flanked by your troops as they give you a bow and step off, she seemed way too enticed by the architecture, truly a wonder you'd have to agree. The tall intricate pillars emulated the designs you'd imagine hold up castles of the highbloods, ceilings tall enough to accomodate.

"I suppose you shall be the olive I asked for. Very glad you could spare the time." You return a grin that has her uneasy...perhaps signs of guilt already showing, from daring to hurt lowbloods. At least, you could tell others that. "You asssked for me? I thought this wasss just a random sssurvey type of thing, unlesss you didnt want to heh, bring my recordsss outssside?" she tries to back off but the doors are already closed, and your prey boxed in. "Records? No no, I have done no such investigation. I just heard you talked with a certain mechanic in the area, and wanted to talk more about it. I am Crisom, may I have your name?" "Im uh, Sssoevia. Do you mean Nithusss?" You nod, directing her to follow you through the building as you two spoke.

"Your crew and I were discusssing him too, I don't know too much about him, I have to admit... He wasss kind, it took a bit for him to warm up to me... Though that isssn't exactly unusssual...Do you have anything more ssspecific to asssk...?" Acting dumb, in front of a rebel leader....she was quite brave. Or maybe it wasnt an act at all. You enter your room again, keeping your calm as you move to open the laptop.

"I see. He has been meddling with drone parts has he not? He works with another group. Supplying them with items that could prove to be dangerous. Not to mention, his short fuse has proven to be quite...destructive." Soon, an image of the mechanic trying to punch that indigo showed up on the TV. The kid had just blocked it with a shield, from the brigtness it was clear how much psiionic energy he was putting into it.

"as can be seen." You continue nonchalant with a smile on your face as she examined the image, "Now, its an indigo, normally we wouldnt care much, but the damage has been to the area as well, and some of our guys didnt exactly have the equipment necessary to survive the encounter. Im sure youve seen the marks outside." You watch as her eyes remain glued to the screen, certainly she had seen the destruction outside...but even then there was something odd about how he looked at the kid. "Guesss it ssshowsss how much you really think you know sssomeone... and he'sss fighting a kid too, he'sss barely older than-" she freezes, keeping her mouth shut, sadly you wanted to hear that part, "either way uhm. M-maybe theresss an explanation of sssome kind. Like a theft or. Sssomething."

You shrug, even if she could keep her mouth shut, her agreement was delicious, since this exhibition has ended you step outside, confident that she'd follow you like a lost little lamb as you made your way through your lair. "My people only noticed it after the fight began. But the kid tried to run away, to try to calm him. Had it not been for the local highbloods, who knows how much damage he'd cause. Not to mention that they'll most certainly use this as an excuse to make lowbloods pay more for their "protection"...perhaps he was an accomplice and this was staged. The purple didnt seem to hurt him further-" "ahem."

You squint, scan the corridor. You couldve swore you heard someone coughing, but...perhaps it was just one of your minions, you shake your head as you grab another item of interest. "But...he had seemed disssapproving of them...or maybe that wasss an act..." "most probably." You cherish the moment for a second "Besides, his work with the emeralds has supplied them tools that could make them more dangerous than the drones, take for example this one gizmo of his, allowing them to detect mutants better than the empire can." You point the device in her general direction and it already lights up, showing that you have a mutant in your hands. "I. Yeah he...ssshowed them to me I didnt think they would... ussse it badly..."

You take a step towards her, hoping to ease her confusion "I was hoping you could help clarify some things for us. Just wanted to get some outsider to agree that he is dangerous. Afterall, itd be a shame if we didnt act. He could hurt or cull another kid. Or work with the other groups to inflict great harm." She looked confused, certainly she was going to nod along but just needed some time to process. You would happily give her that as you walked along.

"I dont know, it...doesnt seem like something he would do." You pause. "Then again maybe that highblood had a hand in ssswaying hisss opinionsss... I wisssh I knew more but. I havent visssited him in a long time...maybe I could go and talk with him, and learn more about it." You slow down as you approach the bright room. "But you do understand how dangerous he might be. Correct? And yet you refuse to make any judgement." "Y-yesss. It can be harmful to make a judgement before knowing more about the sssituation. Whatsss...thisss door about?" She stares at the entrance to the bright room, the door reinforced enough to resemble a submarine door, aimed to make sure sound and light stays inside. Your smile returns.

"You could say its...a training room." You wave at one of your men as they come to open the heavy door, revealing the pitch dark room, you flip one of the many light switches that were outside making it dimly lit, "Do not worry, it is empty for now...and I suppose I could apologize, but I really do want you to spend a little more time here with us. Perhaps you would be more agreeable." She crosses her brows as she processes the situation, fear flashing over her face for a brief moment, "Listen. He mightve gotten carried away but I doubt that wasss hisss intention. Why not let me go talk with him? We can get thisss sssorted Im sssure." She sounds much more stern now. Sadly, that wont do. You dont like it when others stand up. "Unfortunately I cant. You should think about how you speak to me."

With a wave of your hand your goon shoves her into the room and slams the door. You smile as you flip on some more of the switches, making the light inside much, much brighter.

You will let her out in a few hours. Perhaps then she will be on your side. For her sake.

honestly i think it’s realistic for robin to feel Weird about liking nancy because of steve because a) she is a known overthinker and b) she loves steve and is a good friend. but steve like… would be fine with it?? idk i just don’t think steve is really that hung up on nancy after all this time, despite what season 4 would have you believe (and like. i see a lot of people who make this argument against ronance Also think the season 4 stancy is dumb and out of character). like honestly it might even be a weird thing for him to realize through robin being all nervous to tell him that she likes nancy and him being like “that’s literally not a problem!” and it not being one! idk. i guesss the argument is that even though steve may not have feelings for nancy she still hurt him so robin and nancy getting together would be weird but like. their history hasn’t stopped him from being friendly with nancy, why would it be weird if ronance was on the table? i’m kind of rambling but as someone who loves all three characters and their dynamics i’m just kind of baffled by some people’s interpretations

i don't have the energy to talk about this anymore so i'm just going to consolidate these two asks and throw them to the wolves sjdksds. thank you to everyone who participated respectfully!

[feeling-kinda-sad-ngl]

for the identity ask: 7, 15, 21, and 27!!<33

7 - do you care about your ethnicity?

hmmm i dont not care about it? like if it was from 1 to 10 with 10 being caring about it the most, i'd probably be at like a 6 or 7

i care more about us as a whole but if its just me being hispanic/latino then yeah, just a 6 or 7

15 - 5 most influential books over your lifetime

1. joy luck club [this book was something for sure. for starters its about daughter/mother relationships and even though im not a daughter anymore, i still heavily relate to it because i guess i used to be one and am still treated as one ig... but yeah it really brought out so many emotions and wow was it a ride]

2. 100 most dangerous things in the world [i think that was the title... but yeah jts this book i thunk back to a lot because it was one of the books i first read when i was in either k-4 or k-5 so yeah i was really young and it kinda represents the beginning of my little journey as a scholar or whatever and it was quite horrible for me looking back]

3. haikyu [i havent read all of them BUT WITH WHAT I HAVE READ AND WHAT IVE SEEN IN THE SHOW IM GONNA SAY IT COUNTS!! okay so ... its very much affected me in a very amazing way and in a not so great way. its one of those things that i cant really have a cohesive explanation on why its affected me so much but i will say that i have been the happiest ive ever been while also being the saddest since i discovered it]

4. cross your bridges [this... is a fanfiction BUT AGAIN, IM SAYING IT COUNTS. THE AMOUNT OF TIMES THIS HAS PULLED ME BACK FROM THE EDGE WHEN I FELT LIKE ABSOLUTE SHIT ! its unreal how this little piece of writing has me in a chokehold]

5. forest fire [another fanfic but i really cant think of books ive read that have affected me more.. but yeah its very... hm, i want to say it affected me in a good way because sometimes it feels like it has but if i beat down the disordered part of me that thinks that, i think its probably hurt me more haha anyywayyy its been very influential in my life since i found it] [lets face it, it hurts so much because i relate to it and i guess i like that]

21 - do you love easily?

not to toot my own horn but i guesss sooo, yeah. i love so many people and things and i like that i have so much love to give because its a good thing and it makes this life of mine a lot better, even if it dorsnt feel like it at times

27 - do you feel like your outside appearance is a fair representation of the real you?

no, not at all. i want to elaborate but i also kinda don't because then ill spiral into a deep self hatred again aaaaa BUT I GUESS SOME PARTS DO, LIKE HOW I HAVE MY HAIR! OR THE COLORS I PAINT MY NAILS, OR THE BRACELETS I HAVE! SOMETIMES EVEN WHAT I WEARRRR!! WOOHOO

thanks for the asks i lived answering them aaaaa >:]]

I guesss u are good writer 💕💕who is your inspiration

oh wow uhm..

First of all, thank you for the compliment.💕🥰

But I have to be honest, there is no real inspiration, so no author or anything else.

My mother herself is a German book editor and author and I grew up reading and writing. I think it’s somehow in my genes to do something in that direction. I’m also honest, I’m not a reader of such world-famous works and such. I prefer to read books by authors who are not really known and, so to speak, rather hidden. I can relate to most of them better. :)

And yes, that’s probably an absolute cliché answer, but maybe even a bit of Jane Austen even though my writing doesn’t go anywhere near that. But I am an absolute fanatic about 'pride and prejudice'.

The book probably shaped my entire character and I got in touch with the book for the first time very early. I’ve probably read it over 100 times (without exaggerating), so maybe a little bit that.

But that’s all I can tell you now, because there just isn’t much more. I think I’m too much in my own head for me to somehow grab my inspiration from someone.😅

But thank you for the question. It was interesting to think about it myself.🤔☺️
