#i mean he's definitely not as well written and he doesnt have that silly unique way of talking anymore 😭

[cherry-bomb-ships]

So I decided to check out the 2016 Powerpuff Girls reboot for some ungodly reason (jk the reason is I am deadly curious) and yeah. Yeah its really badly written and the art style irks me incredibly so and the girls hardly ever actually fight crime and its so awkward and strange and badly written.........

But mannnn. There are some pretty fuckin good Mojo moments in the episodes I watched

[the-s1lly-corner]

If you could indulge me, can I ask for something with The Amazing Digital Circus gang, with an s/o who is seen as an anchor for the others? They are strong willed, happy go lucky, supportive, a mediator and ect. Well, could they stumble upon their s/o just having an episode, just crying in frustration and like punching a wall to calm down and go back to acting like nothing happened?

I have a thing with strong willed characters hiding their weakness for the benefit of others.

TADC cast x emotional anchor!reader !

oh ho ho you silly lil fella, you have literally just described my TADC oc down to a T, i am going to have so much fun writing this because im literally just. going to use my oc as a place holder for the reader, just without describing any lore bits unique to them and their design ngl i think i went insane with this one, tally hall music is doing something to me

CAINE:

if you thought you were good at hiding your human despair just know that caine already knows. the only reason i feel he wouldnt initially come to you in your lesser moments of weakness is that he can acknowledge that youre trying to hide this part of you. does he go comfort you, and risk making you try harder to surpress your feelings; risking you to just blow up one day and have your mental state just totally collapse in one go? would you feel put off at the knowledge that in this world you never really have full privacy? that definitely wouldnt make you feel any better. but when it gets to the point where you're screaming and crying in your room and punching the walls he would step in. drags you away from the walls, and if he has to this man will restrain you if it means making sure you stop swinging. hes seen the downfall of many people within the circus, but seeing it from someone he so deeply cares for hits a different way. he may be an AI, but he can still simulate feeling. its a harrowing sensation as he lets you cling onto him. i think he makes an effort to make in house adventures less overwhelming and intense, too scared to push you over the edge but also too scared to leave you with nothing to do to distract you. i think he would stay with you for the night, too

POMNI:

as selfish as it sounds, pomni cant help but feel.. something in her chest. seeing you, the groups beacon of light falter fills her with some kind of fear and despair that she cant put into words. it reminds her that no one is above helplessness, and that at the end of the day youre just as capable of abstracting as everyone else. i think, when she finally sees your fake demeanor finally slip when you thought you were totally alone, she feels bad. i mean shes your partner, and she didnt pick up on any hints that may have indicated your true state of health. i dont think she would try to force you to speak, as much as i want to say that she would try to push for you to talk about how you feel i think her attempts to reach out to you would fall on deaf ears. i think she would put her hand on your shoulder, making you jump back to the present moment. its an awkward gesture, with the jester herself being a little lost with these new feelings... i think you two would just sit in silence

JAX:

similar to pomni, he feels this intense and unexplainable pang at the sight of the most hopeful and brightest person in the circus crumble. ive already said it but ill say it again, its like being splashed with cold water, with how hard that sinking cold feeling hits him. makes half hearted attempts to cheer you up. its not that he doesnt care, its that hes stuck in the shock of seeing the happiest person he knows flip into... this.. for a split second he thought you were abstracting, that pit his stomach becoming colder for a second before he realizes whats going on. ive said this before as well, but jax is not the best comforter, in fact i think he might be one of the worst out of the main cast. but i think so far for the characters ive written for this post, he makes an effort to try to pull you up out of your hole. at least he lets you cry your feelings out, and he wont make you feel bad for doing so

RAGATHA:

stands there in shock like pomni, before immediately rushing to your side and tugging you away from a coat stand you were kicking and beating. hands on your shoulders she tries to snap you back to the present moment, trying to tell you that shes here. any feelings of the helplessness that she shares with the previous two characters is shoved down. this isnt about her, its about you. runs her fingers through your hair, if your digital body has any, and just. rocks you. when you finally calm down enough to be able to form clear words, she reassures you once more that shes here for you. the two of you stay in that position, holding onto one another for the entire night. i think it should be said, but for most of these theyre going to try to keep a closer eye on you and make it a point to ask you how youre feeling. ragatha especially.

KINGER:

it reminds him of queenie. the sight brings back so so so many terrible memories. for a second he doesnt even register that hes standing in the present, standing in your doorway. stuck and frozen for a solid minute before you finally notice him, and you hold each others gaze. finally, you crumble. what was the point of hiding your mounting anguish now that it was discovered by the one you care for most? at the sight of your crumpled form i think kinger would snap back, and rush to your side. he's pause, afraid that you would abstract like the queen, before forcing himself to push through that fear in the back of his mind. a moment where he is not fumbling with himself or shaking; be it because he wants to be there for you or perhaps he still holds some guilt aimed towards himself for not being able to save his old queen, he refuses to leave your side even if you tell him to leave. theres this caution in his actions, mixed with this sort of determination to make sure you're okay. like ragatha, he would make it a point to make sure you're okay long after this incident

ZOOBLE:

zooble would probably be the only one who doesnt make their presence known to you while you're in that state. not because they wont care about you, in fact they care about you a lot. but theyre so unsure of what to do, that they give to you what they would have wanted for themselves, if they were in your shoes. they want to grant you privacy, and to at least keep a shred of the now ruined façade you had been putting on for everyone. if it means keeping it will give you comfort, then they wont take that away from you. they wait outside your door, waiting for the height of your episode to pass before cracking the door open. they dont say anything about what they had just heard, but you seem to know that they know.. i mean they came in so soon after you had calmed yourself down enough.

"are you okay?" a dumb question, but what else was there for them to say? you so obviously werent okay, and you likely werent for a long time. they offer to leave, to give you some time to pick yourself back up, but they also make it clear that they wont go anywhere if you dont want to be alone. the night is tense and awkward, filled with conversation before they eventually broach the topic... i think you guys would develop some sort of secret code. i mean youve been hiding your true feelings for so long, and outwardly saying you need help would compromise that mask you put up for yourself. be it a certain sentence or arrangement of objects, you two come up with a indirect way of asking for security

GANGLE:

she feels so helpless, the most out of everyone. she tries to get your attention, but her words fall on deaf ears, if they even manage to pry themselves out of her mouth. far too weak to pull you away and keep you from hurting yourself, but too soft spoken to bark out a word to draw your attention to her. truly, she feels useless. she isnt able to capture your attention until you finally notice her. similar to kingers part, you fall. she takes an unsure step towards you, hands half raised in front of her as she debates if you want to be touched or not. she settles to sitting in front of you, just barely holding eye contact... she looks down when you tear your eyes away from her. finally finding her voice, i think she would ask if you want her to stay, or if you need anything. she tries to word it the best she can, but she lets you know that she doesnt think any less of you for your outburst. it happens to the best of us, really it does. if you want her too, she wraps herself around you and tries to soothe your shaking form

A list of great drarry fics:

Harry/Draco

Everything listed should be complete. I link to the first copy of it I stumbled over.

Malfoy Flavor by Vorabiza.

Summary: Harry’s ready to banish the Golden Boy image and take charge of his life. Unfortunately, or fortunately, for him there are still more surprises in store for him. Somewhat of a sixth year, Severitus and Slytherin!Harry fic.

Rec: I can't give a wholehearted endorsement of this, but I did really enjoy it. A lot of the writing/dialogue is quite funny and I'd be fibbing if I pretended I didn't laugh through a lot of it.

Circle of Serpents by Kungzoune.

Summary: Harry and Draco have been in a secret relationship for a while. What happens when the order of the Phoenix finds out

Rec: Not an exceptionally deep story, but I did find it amusing and something pleasant to read to wile away some time.

The Man in Draco's Bed by Cyane Snape.

Summary: Lucius is hysterical…actually he would rather be dead. Draco has arrived at Malfoy Manor just in time for the Christmas Holidays…with his new husband, Harry Potter-Malfoy. The Malfoy Code of Honor™ demands that Lucius protect his new son-in-law and Voldemort is coming for Christmas dinner!

Rec: I howled... enough that my husband finally stared at me like I was more than normally insane and asked what the hell I was hooting about. *wipes away the tear tracks* (There is a sequel, but I didn't enjoy it as much.)

Raspberry Jam by v v c.

Summary: Draco tries not to think of his upcoming transition and the unwanted partner chosen for him by his father. Then he finds he may have a choice after all. Will the faith he puts into his choice be rewarded? HPDM A slow, soft romance.

Rec: I liked this, despite not being a huge fan of magical inheritence/maturity fics. Granted, I had to toss on my rose-coloured glasses and squint slightly at the characterization—these are more mature versions of Harry and Draco—but once I accepted and stepped past that, I was able to merrily read through and appreciate a story that was defined, written nicely, and kept a very steady pace. I also liked some of the theories behind it all, such as the warding on the house at Privet Drive.

Time out of Place by bananacosmicgirl.

Summary: Harry wakes up with a throbbing head, but he soon realizes that a headache is the last thing he has to worry about. And what part does Draco play in it all? Timetravel, AU.

Rec: I don't actually buy into the reasoning behind what happens in this story, but so long as I can remember to ignore that part of things, it's an all right read. In some respects, though, I feel cheated by how it ends, given what happens right before they get "sent back." I see nothing in the list of published fics that would explain the "after."

Deny Thy Father And Refuse Thy Name by Piri Lupin-Snape.

Fiction Rated: T - English - Angst/Romance - Chapters: 18 - Words: 101,523 - Reviews: 229 - Updated: 12-22-02 - Published: 6-4-02

Summary: Harry's in his 7th year and secrets, lies, and betrayals only add to the burdens of who he is. Can love and friendship help him overcome his trials, or will he lose himself forever? HPDM, SSRLSB Severitus challenge fic

Rec: This story was okay, but confusing. Part of the problem is when it was written. There was no OotP, which makes a huge difference when it comes to deciding who is related to who and any number of things that crop up.

I didn't dislike the story, but I don't wholeheartedly love it, either. Chapter 17 (in particular) is like a comic soap opera with the kind of information coming out and the given action. (I was vaguely reminded of the movie Soap Dish, actually.)

Anyone giving it a shot should know within the first chapter or so if they'd want to read the whole thing.

Merlin's legacy by kungzoune.

Fiction Rated: M - English - Romance/Action/Adventure - Chapters: 22 - Words: 108,048 - Reviews: 809 - Updated: 2-20-07 - Published: 12-16-05

Summary: slash HPDM Harry Potter was destined to be a great leader of the light. Too bad that Dumbledore made the wrong decision and proclaimed Harry's twin sister as the chosen one. Will Harry grow up to become the wizard that he should be or will he be Dumbledo

Rec: No, it's not the best story in the world, and it very definitely falls into what I would consider a super!Harry category (along with a handful of other people in his life). Time travel, the founders, Merlin... still, it's a decent story to spend some time reading. There's not really a lot of angst or even conflict, and what troubles there are seem to be dealt with fairly easily. Tons of gay people! (Well, okay, three gay couples, at least.)

Those less tolerant will find themselves growling at the sheer amount of mistakes, though, as this does need a firm beta with steel wool and scrubbing bubbles. (The redundancy in some places is really awful.)

Seamus is Seamus and You are Yourself by Ari Munami.

Fiction Rated: T - English - Humor/Romance - Chapters: 19 - Words: 28,859 - Reviews: 1412 - Updated: 4-30-03 - Published: 7-27-02

Summary: Harry goes through some... er, changes before Sixth Year. Everyone, including Draco Malfoy, sits up and takes notice. DM/HP.

Rec: It's damn funny to read in my opinion. While it's not marked as complete, the full summary does say it is, so... The idea of Draco Malfoy skulking around in a trenchcoat and trilby....

Single Wizard Seeking Same by jennavere.

Summary: Lovelorn Draco has been secretly pining for Harry for months. He's finally forced into action when ex-boyfriend Blaise shows up. A gift!fic for Prof. McKitten starring an awkward, smitten Draco and a cameo by Harry's chest monster.

Rec: I don't believe it for a second, though it's funny to read this after DH, considering. At any rate, it's romance, and a fairly amusing one at that.

Freudian Slip by jennavere.

Summary: Two years after graduating from Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy is still obsessed with Harry Potter. Fed up, his father makes him get therapy. Harry/Draco Romance/Humor.

Rec: The humor is obvious just from the title, but effective enough to see me chortling my way through this story.

Intrepid Teenage Hero by jennavere.

Summary: To save wizardkind from falling into the Dark Lord's evil clutches, intrepid teenage hero Harry Potter embarks on a dangerous quest: infiltrating Malfoy Manor and getting information from Draco using highly unorthodox methods.

Rec: I'll give this a head nod. It's mildly amusing, but the word that really comes to mind when I read this was "layers."

Gold Tinted Spectacles by Beren.

Summary: Harry's sixth year has come and gone, part of him has been alone. As his seventh year dawns he's looking for something and he's not sure what but he knows it's out there and involves Draco Malfoy.

Rec: If I recall correctly, this has loads of 'super!'ness in it, but that must be okay, or I wouldn't have willingly read this more than once. (Meaning, I'm making this rec without having read it recently.)

Wolf by Aisling-Siobhan.

Summary: Harry Potter is a snake in lions clothing. What happens when he sheds his skin and revels his true green and silver colors to the Wizarding World? Add to the fact Draco is engaged to Ryder Hammond. He doesnt know Ryder and Harry are the same person.

Rec: A rather bizarre story, actually. Somewhat confusing at times what with the time turning, but overall it's an interesting read with some unique twists and definite points of humor.

The Silent Killer by She Who Cannot Be Turned.

Summary: When Harry turns seventeen he finds something out about his past, well… more like about his bloodline. He decides to make good use of it… starting one death eater at a time...

Rec: Ridiculously silly and fairly humorous. Could use a beta, and it is a bit scattered at times, but overall it's a nice way to spend some reading time without having to stress one's brain. (ETA: I forgot to mention the obsession Harry has with CSI, and how he sucks his friends into it as well.)
