DPXDC Prompt 58 Part 7
The long dining room that held the ornate old dining table that seated way too many people already held  most of the family. Bruce was missing and Damian informed them he was at work, the only other person missing was Jason but it was typical for him to skip out as he didn’t live there and didn’t have the best track record with the rest of the family. That left Damian, Tim, Cass, Duke, and Dick seated.
Damian sat next to the chair that Bruce normally sat in at the head of the table. Tim sat across from Damian followed by Dick, Duke, and Cass. Danny sat next to Damian and Jazz sat next to Danny. 
“So, how was school?” Dick asked his elbows on the table with his head on his hands and a smile. He was the only adult in their life besides Bruce that actually cared about their schooling. 
Danny had actually forgotten that all of this had happened in just one day. The thought was a little jarring if Danny was being honest with himself. He wasn’t sure what to tell Dick, on one hand he was just asking about school on the other… no he wasn’t going to think about what happened right now. Just the thought caused phantom volts to go through his body like he was reliving the accident. He felt a nudge to his foot from the right and looked up to see Damian giving him a quizzical look. He cleared his throat and looked back over to Dick who was giving him the same kind of look. 
“I-I’m, uh… school was fine, didn’t learn much since school just started,” He eventually decided to say after stumbling on his words a little. 
“Dash isn’t picking on you again this year is he?” Dick asked with a concerned look on his face. 
Danny wished it was just Dash, the pain he felt from the portal was a thousand times worse than anything the bullying blond could pull. If it was just Dash, Danny could have just laughed it off and forgotten it probably, but it wasn’t just Dash and Danny couldn’t help but take a deep breath trying to gather his thoughts and calm himself.
He startled as he felt a hand on his knee, he looked to his left to see Jazz giving him a look of sympathy as she rubs her thumb comfortingly on his knee. She then spoke, “Danny you don’t have to talk about it if you don’t want to, Okay?”
Danny gave her a small nod, a small smile on his face. 
Before a new topic could be discussed Alfred arrived with their food and began serving them. Danny loved the food the old butler cooked especially since he was able to do so in a kitchen that wasn’t contaminated. Alfred did his best to make sure everyone was served food to their liking, as long as it was a balanced meal at the end of the day the elderly butler would serve just about anything you’d request.
Danny picked up his fork to begin on his salad, however when he tried to push the fork into the lettuce his hand felt a cooling sensation with pins and needles and his fork went through his hand. He stared at his hand for a moment wondering what just happened. He then picked up his fork to try again and was able to get a mouth full, but when he went for a second bite it happened again, his fork clanging against the bowl again.
“Something wrong Danny? You're staring at your hand weird,” Danny heard Dick speaking and looked up to see Dick staring at him giving him an odd look. 
Danny couldn’t help but rub his neck nervously with his other hand, he hoped to get ahold of whatever this was so no one noticed. Though knowing his luck everyone probably did notice, over the years he and Jazz both noticed that the Wayne family was much more observant than their media persona’s showed. 
Dinner continued and Danny struggled to eat anything as anything he tried to hold fell through his hand frustratingly and Danny couldn’t help but get agitated. 
Eventually his glass he was holding slipped through his hand and tumbled onto the floor shattering into a thousand pieces. Danny let out a frustrated sigh as he stared at the mess he made. 
Before he could stand to clean up Alfred appeared by his side with a dustpan and broom and began cleaning it up, “are you still feeling unwell Master Daniel? Perhaps you should retire for the evening, I will attend to this mess.” Danny begrudgingly nodded his head and made his way out of the room.
He wasn’t alone for long as Damian and Jazz tailed him out of the room. 
“What was that? It looked like your spoon was going through your hand,” Jazz asked after they were a ways from the dinning room.
“Jazz, honestly I don’t know, it felt cold and then anything I tried holding fell through my hand.” Danny brushed his bangs away from his forehead and they dropped back into his face as he dropped his hands back down to his side.
The walk went silent after that, although it didn’t stay for long as Danny felt the cooling sensation again but this time through his whole body, he let out a yelp as he felt his body sink into the floor.
Damian and Jazz looked at him with panic but as they grabbed at his arms or his hands to pull him back up they went through him just as the spoon and apparently the ground now. 
He let out a panicked yell as the floor swallowed him whole, so now he was sinking further down further into the earth. What was going to happen to him? Would he ever find his way back up?
Thankfully he didn’t have to wait long as the cooling sensation left and as gravity took hold of him again he fell. Apparently there was a cave under the manor and he was able to turn back into solid as he felt air again. There was no way he was surviving this, even with new weird powers now was when he’d get impaled by spikes right?
The cave was too dark to make out much but Danny thought he might have seen a computer with several monitors. That didn’t matter now as he finally landed, and he grunted as he landed on a person who also grunted as having a teen land on you couldn’t be the most comfortable.
He knew he was in big trouble when he realized who he landed on, “Batman??”

bow howdy am i stoked for the arc start on this weeks dungeon meshi episiode, but gosh, i've been waiting patiently to be devastated by the anime adaptation of chapter 49..... and it's *so close*
if there are to be 24 episodes in total, with ep22 covering Griffin & Familiars, my hope is that ep23 will be an episode including only one chapter -> Griffin Soup.....
then maybe we will get a sweet little end of the season with Dumplings and Dumplings 2..........

#sorry im thinking abt death again#because it's weird to think that ive been in the room. maybe a meter away from someone as they died#that someone being my mom. its just weird. the time in the hospital feels like it happened in some dark little pocket universe detached from#time. a calm room and then the soft blips of a monitor then the nurse rushing in to say she'd passed#i dont kno y ppl use that phrase: passed on. i mean i do. it softens the topic. makes it sound peaceful. ive yet to use it. i just say she#died bc thats what happened. is that insensitive? i dunno. when i was home i realized that i come off as much stranger than i think. the way#my family see me doesnt fit how i see myself. i dont kno what to do with that. i dunno. theyre all together today#for an early easter. and im halfway across the country again. nose so stuffy ive had to mouth breathe for the last 3 days#and again. everything feels the same as it did before but also profoundly different. sometimes i cry in the mornings. or when i think abt#future vacations she wont be there for. bc in the end she quickly slipped away in a way that couldn't be described as peaceful until her#last half a day. and all i can think about in that tiny room is how scary it would be to lose control like that#and how its not fair and she didnt deserve to die only halfway through a lifetime. but its not about fair and its not about deserving.#sometimes bad things just happen. that's life. and now i own a book called motherless daughters. and now im standing with the countless#others who've lost their moms too early. ive already become aware of 3 ppl in my daily life who are in the same club#i keep thinking about this moment that happened between my parents at the hospital. apparently my dad was helping her get cleaned up and her#stomach was so bloated she looked like she had a bby in there. which my dad said. and my mom apparently said: but it's a baby no one want. i#dont kno y that upsets me so much. all the things i heard abt her being in the hospital before i got there upset me. and the rest of my#family was there to see it. so i have the least traumatic version of the story. and i got almost 27 years with her. except my sisters#probably got more time with her bc i spent so much time away. or maybe not. i dunno.#i dunno. im just sad that shes gone and sad that it was drawn out even a little bit. 6 days isnt long but im sure it felt like an eternity.#again not fair. nothings fair. 53 years of unfairness culminating in a tragedy. she would hate me characterizing it like that. she lived a#full life as they say. full with an asterisk on account of length#unrelated

i find it rly funny by the way that the talons of peace didnt even question the prophecy when they lost the sky egg. like i guess the prophecy doesnt specifically say 'the eggs listed will be the dragons who end the war' but i mean, its implied pretty heavily

For the ask thing
-{"Hush... you'll be fine..."
Oh oh heck Adam… hhhhhhhhhhhh. You know exactly what you’re doing. Be prepared for a hurt comfort story cause apparently I wanted to vent through this story a bit, hope you still like it. It still ends nice and fluffy.
Rosey was honestly exausted and a bit snappy. She had been pushing herself too much the pst few days and it was already taking a big toll on her. And of course one of her boyfriends would notice that she was struggling.
Rosey was hastily tossing together a quick dinner for Adam and herself since they had planned this hang out for a while. She felt on the verge of tears as she waited for the water to boil. Things had to be perfect! If they weren’t she felt like she would be letting him down. And she knows they would rather her take care of herself but calling off the night was out of the question. She had a bit more energy and a quick few hours of hanging out and playing games would be nice. she finished the noodles and sauce and got the table set quickly collapsing onto her back in exhaustion and groaning in annoyance at how tired and weak she felt at the moment. She heard a knock and quickly put on a smile.
Adam smiled down at his friend as she hovered in ther air infront of him using some magic to open the door for him and invited him inside with a big yet tired smile. "hey Adam! glad you could make it. I have some spagtti on the table. And sorry if I'm not as chatty I'm just a bit tired from a project." she explained as she moved over to her spot ont he table. henad shaking but she did her best to hide that from her friend.
Of course adam noticed, but he could tell she didnt want to talk about it so he hummed at what she said and served himself some of the dinner she had prepared.
the silence was deafening and adam could hear how hard rosey was trying to brethe normaly. so after a few minutes of silent eating, rosey the one finishing first, and adam mostly just pushing his food around in worry and trying to build up the courage to ask what was wrong. rosey hovered out of her seat and placed her dishes in the sink, the addition sending something tumbling and crashing in the sink creating a loud sound and rosey flinched hard. That was the final straw for Adam, especially when he saw her fighting back tears by looking up at the ceiling.
He stood from his seat and walkd over to her cuping his hands and somewhat scooping her out of the air. she looked up at him and rubed at her eyes. but the look he gave her, one full of worry and care, it broke down her walls. She cried into his shoulder as he brought her into a hug aginst his chest. he was patient in letting her vent. how exausted she was how she wasnt taking proper care of herself and needed sleep but it was so hard to rest when there was so much to do for him and Tero.
She took some shuttering breaths and despite just sobbing a few moments ago she seemed to get ahold of herself way to quickly.
"hah... I- sorry about that Adam. youre here for dinner, not my problems. please go eat and ill get myself cleaned up a bit." she said like nothing had happened this made adams heart ache, how much had she been bottling up? but an idea came to adam at her words and he knew it would be good for her to even if she would refuse it at first.
"well I know something that could get both of those things done." he said wraping his hands around her gently trapping her arms to her sides. her red eyes widened before she looked coflicted.
"but theres still alot to do with cleaning up and what about the movie you wanted to watch tonight, besides if you already ate wont you be digesting that anyway so it wouldnt be the best option-"
"Hush... you'll be fine..." Adam interupted her rambling using a finger to nudge her chin to look up at him. "I didn't eat anything yet because I was worried about you, my sweet rosey." he said in a calm and somewhat deeper voice, roseys face darkened at that and she weakly squirmed at the flustered feeling in her chest. "now let me help get you cleaned up~"adam said before sticking out his tongue and lapping at her face a few times. giving time between each lick to let her breathe a bit.
Rosey was honestly really conflicted but desided to just let adam help her, she knew that he would never mean any harm to her. So with that tought she relaxed in his hold as best as she could and she could see the appreciation in his eyes behind his rectangular glasses. she couldnt help but make a small flustered sound and squirm as adam began to affectionatly kiss both her cheeks and forhead. his mustash lightly scrathing and tickling her sensitive skin. after a few minutes of adam smothering the poor fairy in affectionate lickes and kisses he realized he was quite hungry as of now.
"you ready, Rosey?" he asked her. it warmed her heart that he was still willing to stop if she felt like it was too much but honestly she now anted nothing more than to curl up inside of him, feel his love around her and allo her worried to melt away and finally relax after the week she had put herself though. She nodded and adam gave a toothy grin making sure to show of his little fang that someties liked to stick out. She melted at that and adam gave one lass kiss to her little head before opening wide. Her upper half was gently placed on his tongue and his lips closed around her waist. one of his hands resting on his soon to be full stomach and the other supporting her legs hanging out of his mouth.
He tilted his head back and swallowed gently shuttering as Roseys head and shoulders entered his throat, stretching it out oh so wonderfully. He would never get tired of that special tingle that rushes up and down his spine when he gets a chance to do something like this. To cheer up and hold one of his loves close, so close to his heart. He swallowed again making a happy humming noise as she shifted a bit sending more of those delicious tingles along his spine and getting more of her sweet flavor on his tongue.
with a few more stronger gulps he closed his mouth fully behind her quickly disappearing feet. With a final loud gulp he sealed her fully within himself he gasped in a breath and sighed as she filled his lightly gurgling belly he could feel her form under his hands push out at him. His stomach stretching wonderfully around her smaller form, every little breath and wiggle she took as she got comfortable he could feel deep in his core and he was in bliss as she relaxed into the folds of the stomach around her.
“You ok in there?” He asked gently knowing she could hear him just fine in there.
she shifted a bit to be in a position of one in a hammock her hands falling to the walls at her sides as her legs were pushed against her in the small space she filled perfectly. “Yea I’m ok!” She sighed deeply knowing she could let go of her worries. Nothing and no one could get her here. It was perfect and the two knew they could relax being so close together and safe.

No Out-Tickling the Tickle God
hello!! this is the fic I was talking about the other day inspired by this post!! by none other than the legend @mushiewrites (with additions from me, @fluffallamaful and @cayjuno as well of course)
tldr for anyone who hasn't read/seen the post, the hc is that dreamxd's cloak/cape kind of has a mind of its own and can move by itself, and if it senses danger (e.g. someone reaching over to tickle XD or something, just for an example) it will protect by wrapping around the assailant and trapping them in some way... and George just so happens to be the one in the crossfire
again shoutout to mushie for coming up with this awesome concept, couldn't have done this without you king <3
lee!george, ler!dreamxd, 2.9k words
enjoy!!
--
"Ugh, crap," George mumbled, brow furrowed and head tilted where he stood looking up into his closet. He glanced over at XD, who was sitting idly on George's bed, fiddling with the edge of his pillow. The two of them had gotten into the habit of sitting in silence in George's house, usually with a music disc playing faintly from the jukebox, each doing their own individual tasks and sometimes coming together for mutual ones.
So, there they were, in George's bedroom simply enjoying each other's presence,  until George got bored and decided to rearrange a few decorations around his bedroom and living area. Nothing too drastic, he simply settled on moving a few picture frames and pillows around idly until he found an arrangement he liked most.
George was planning to hang a specific painting in a newly free spot on the wall, one that he knew he'd put in the closet the last time he rearranged his decorations with Foolish and Tina.
The only issue was that Foolish had been the one to put it away for him. And Foolish had put it on the top shelf… that George just barely couldn't reach. 
He stood on his toes and tried to reach up to it, but it was pushed back too far on the shelf for him to grab it. His shoulders slumped as he stood flat again, running a hand through his hair and scrunching his nose up in discouragement.
"Hey, XD?" George spoke softly, gaining the attention of the God across the room from him, who looked up upon hearing their name.
"Yes?" XD spoke just as softly, the echo of their voice toned down from the calm environment. George looked away from XD and back at the shelf, reassessing his options. He stood up on his toes again, stretching his arm up as far as he could with a strained sound, but the tip of his middle finger barely grazed the corner before he dropped down again. He sighed in defeat, tilting his head back and looking over to XD once more.
"Can you grab that painting from the top shelf for me? I can't reach it," George asked, pointing at the painting he was talking about. XD smiled at George's attempts, their smile visible underneath the bottom of their mask as they nodded and stood up. Their cape fluttered in the breeze from the open window as they floated (George still wasn't used to the floating) over to the closet, tilting their chin up and then down to see what George was talking about. XD reached their upper set of arms up, adjusting the collar of their cape before touching their fingertip to the corner of the frame.
"This?" XD asked for confirmation. George nodded, eyes suddenly flicking from XD's face to the space where their cloak had fallen back with their arm movements. George tilted his head in thought, a realization hitting him.
XD's entire side was exposed. And their ribs, and underarms, by proxy. 
And they weren't looking at him. They were busy fiddling with the painting.
He could just reach out and poke XD. And they would have no idea it was coming.
Surely if the roles were reversed, XD would do the same to him, right? George knows XD has made it abundantly clear that they're not above taking advantage of George in order to tickle him. They're not above taking advantage of how ticklish he is and how small he is in comparison, but come on, be fair, George is a human, XD is a god, and XD is, like, 9 feet tall! It is not George's fault that XD has the upper hand every single time, he can't help it that XD has super strength and can pin George down and grab him and throw him around like a rag doll and they can use their stupid magic, and sure George never really puts up a fight but he—
Anyway… George deserved to take a bit of revenge… right? He deserved to take advantage of this moment. He did!
"There's some stuff on top, hold on, I'll move it," XD mumbled after a beat of silence.
"Okay, be careful," George said, trying to seem nonchalant with his plan as he took a step closer. Wordlessly, XD pulled out the smaller frame on top of the one George was grabbing for, showing George a small, square picture of a blue bird with a white border. George hummed in thought, reaching a hand out and taking the smaller frame from XD, setting it aside on top of his dresser. "I'll find a place for it. Anything else?" 
"Uh…" XD hummed as well, turning back to the shelf. They were distracted for a few seconds, and George smirked, knowing that was his time to strike. He took another step forward, close enough now that his elbow grazed the edge of XD's cape, and reached his arm up, his fingers heading right for the exposed skin under their arm.
Suddenly, just as he was about to make contact, his entire body jerked to the left with a force he had never felt before. 
He let out a small yelp from the shock of the action, regaining his balance and righting himself where he stood. He attempted to reach out to rest his hand on the wall and steady himself, but he found it difficult– no, impossible?– to move his arms. He glanced up at XD, who had just looked back over at him, before he noticed that XD didn't have their cloak on anymore. He looked down at his immobile arms, letting out a gasp and another strained sound when he saw the familiar, dark forest green fabric wrapped around his arms, holding his wrists together and completely surrounding his hands.
"Wh–" George muttered, pulling at his arms again with no luck and letting out a shaky breath. It seemed that the more he struggled and pulled frantically at his hands, the more the cloak tightened its hold on him. He finally made eye contact with XD again, his face contorted into a confused and surprised expression, his eyes wide and eyebrows tight. "What the hell, XD?"
"What– what did you do?" 
"What do you MEAN what did I do? You– your stupid cape just– like– attacked me!" George explained, gesturing around with his trapped arms. 
"I'm sorry, I don't– I'm not sure why it would've done that, usually it only does that if it senses danger or something, but you're not dangerous…" XD explained, carefully pushing the items back onto the closet shelf so they wouldn't fall as he turned to fully face George. "Could you have done something else without realizing?"
"I-I don't know! I just– I went to poke your side and it just shot at me and grabbed me! Get it off me!" George explained, looking up at XD and blinking slowly when their expression changed from worried and confused to surprised and… wait, was that… a smile? "What's that look for? I don't like when you look at me like that…" George's shoulders sank slightly as XD stood up straighter, his arms pinching in closer to his body as he attempted to make himself seem smaller as a new bout of nerves flooded through him.
"Oh, Georgie… I think I know what happened now," XD's grin widened a bit more, baring their sharp, pointy teeth. The echo in their voice had come back, their tone and volume sinking lower as it did, just to make the butterflies sitting dormant in George's tummy erupt in a wave of flapping wings and fluttering bodies. "You tried to tickle me."
George was silent for a second, knowing he'd been caught red handed, but unable to stop his brain from trying to cover his tracks anyway.
"N-no, why– why would I do that? That's ridiculous," He tries to explain, pulling his elbows even tighter into his body and struggling to free himself again. XD's head tilted to the side condescendingly.
"No?" They practically purred, leaning down slightly closer to George, their voice rumbling through George's chest more the closer they were. "Don't lie."
"I'm not lying!" George continued to defend, taking a step backwards until his back hit the corner of the closet behind him. He gasped at the impact, whipping his head around to see the wall behind him before quickly turning back around. As soon as he turned back, he was face to face with XD's mask, mere inches from his face, causing him to jump slightly and curl in on himself more.
"Are we forgetting we admitted to it?" XD said, pursing their lips and speaking as if they were talking to a small child. George had, in fact, forgotten that part.
"Um…"
"I don't like liars, George."
"XD, wait–"
"You know what we do to liars, don't you?" 
"You're making it sound like you're gonna kill me!" George yelped out with a small smile. XD couldn't help but smile, their smile quickly turning into giggles, which in turn made George giggle. Soon enough, they were both laughing at the absurdity of the situation, and XD shook their head at the thought. 
"You're insufferable. Shut up, that's it," XD spoke through their wide smile before finally cutting to the chase and grabbing George's sides, squeezing up and down.
"NO!" George squeaked, his entire body flinching as he tried to fight against his own imminent laughter. He only lasted a few seconds, though, as XD switched to using their long nails to lightly claw at George's tummy. George burst out laughing, pressing back into the wall and curling up, squeezing his arms tightly to his torso and shaking his head. "XD– don't– ahahahaha!" 
"Don't? You didn't seem to have any issues trying to do it to me," XD accused as he now used both hands to scratch at George's tummy and sides. George squealed again as XD's pointer finger found its way up to his ribs, and upon noticing the reaction, XD made sure it stayed there. George's body flinched again, almost against his own will, and his spine straightened as he tilted his head back against the wall he was pressed up against.
"Nohohoho–" George squeezed his eyes shut, resorting to pushing and hitting at XD's arms with his trapped hands. "XD-hehe plehehehease!"
"Aw, looks like someone can't take what they were so eager to dish out, huh, Georgie?" XD continued to tease George like their life depended on it as they scratched their nails over George's ribs.
"Shuhuhut uhuhup!" George protested, one foot kicking at the ground when XD reached a particularly sensitive spot on his side. "Stohohop– ahahaha- plehehehease, I–"
"Oh, don't even bother, you're being so dramatic, I'm barely even tickling you," XD teased, the playful tone of their voice making George shake his head more, the flush on his cheeks getting darker as he did. 
"Ihihit's stihihill so bahahahad!" 
"Oh no, is it?" XD pursed their lips again, bringing back their baby voice just to see George scrunch his nose up as he laughed at the tease. Despite how flustered he was, and the fact that the question was clearly rhetorical, George nodded anyway,  and XD couldn't help but smile. They were almost distracted by how much they loved paying attention to George's reactions– the bright pink flush on his cheeks, the lines near his eyes from squeezing them shut, his scrunched up nose, and the way he squirmed whichever way he could while still attempting to push at XD with no luck– until they remembered what their goal was in any situation like this.
Tickle George until he cries. Or apologizes for being a menace. Whichever comes first.
"Aww, you poor thing," XD continued, quickly falling back into the swing of teasing George before he could notice their faltering. "Here, I know how to make it better."
"Nohoho, XDehehe dohont, noho– don't!" George pleaded, shaking his head more when he noticed XD slide down to rest on their knees. It took George a mere few seconds to realize what was happening, and suddenly he had a burst of strength that he knew he needed to use right that second otherwise he would be screwed. "Stohop, dohohon't, XD!" George felt four hands hold onto him then, two on his sides and two holding the outside of his thighs to keep him in place, and Geotge knew he was done for when he heard a sharp intake of breath. He squirmed as best as he could between the wall behind him and the large body of the God in front of him crowding him in, letting out a frustrated groan when he still, still, couldn't free his own hands from XD's stupid cloak! "NO! NOHOHO do NOT, do not, don't, please, XD– XD NAHAHA–!"
Against all of George's many protests, XD blew a raspberry on George's side, and if the smacking of fabric on the back of their head was any indication, it definitely got the reaction they wanted.
"Ohohoh my gohod…" George breathed out as he calmed down a little, the initial shockwave of tingly tickles flitting away.
Until he heard XD breathe in again.
"NO, NOHO DON'T DO IT AGAHAHAIN–" George protested, holding his breath as XD blew another on his other side. He held in his laughter for a few seconds before it busted out, his voice turning raspy and high pitched from the force of the laugh. 
Finally, after longer than XD had expected to be fair, George's ability to hold his own weight up against the wall faltered, and he slid down the wall slowly, ending up sitting with his knees to his chest in front of where XD was kneeling. 
XD took that as their cue to finish up, and he willed their cloak to remove itself from George's wrists, letting his arms free after what felt like years to George. The cloak then slid its way behind George, poking briefly at his sides to get him to arch his back so it could slide between him and the wall easier, before wrapping itself around his curled up shoulders like a warm blanket. XD giggled softly as George flexed his fingers in their newfound freedom, then they reached their hands down to gently rub the ghost tickles away from George's body.
"I hate you," George said suddenly, his tone very matter-of-fact. The blunt words made XD cackle in surprise. 
"You know that's not true."
"It should be, after that. That was torture."
"George, you were literally going to do the same thing to me, like, a minute before I got you."
"That was way worse than anything I could've even thought of doing to you!"
"Alright, I will admit it was a little bit of an unfair fight, but that's a little dramatic, isnt it?"
"NO! It is not! You played dirty, you held me hostage with your stupid cape, which is apparently sentient now, and I had no chance of escaping!" 
"You better watch it, the cape can still hear you, by the way,"
"Wh- AH!" George yelped as the cape suddenly drilled into the backs of his ribs, arching his back and slapping a hand over his mouth at the embarrassing noise he'd just let out. XD immediately burst out laughing, hands instinctively pulling George closer when he drove his head forward to hide his face in their shoulder. 
"Aww, Georgie," XD cooed into George's ear, letting the cloak wrap further around George before wrapping both sets of their own arms around him as well, hugging him close as he calmed down. 
"Shut up, idiot," George muttered, voice muffled from his position. They were both silent for a few moments before George spoke up again. "I am so getting you back for this."
"Oh yeah? How are you gonna do that?"
"Dunno yet… maybe I'll get the cape on my side next time and I'll get it to help me."
"Oh, will you now?" XD felt a nod against his neck. "Well, too bad the cape is connected to my brain. Otherwise you might have had a shot with that."
"Well… I'll just have to wait until you're in a lee mood, won't I?" George said as he slowly pulled away from their hug. XD looked almost taken aback, blinking down at George before asking,
"…What?"
"Well," George started, meeting XD's eyes. "It works through your subconscious, right?" A nod. "So I'll just have to wait until you subconsciously want tickles… then it'll work." XD was at a loss for words, heart sinking in their chest as they watched the corners of the cloak rise from George's shoulders. George's smile quickly turned sour, something sinister in his expression. "And judging by how nervous you just got… I'm guessing I might not have to wait that long."
"George, wait, we can talk about this–"
"I don't think the cloak has time to talk right now, DreamXD."
"No, no, this isn't fair, you can't use my own brain against me! George? George! This is not fair– GEORGE, NO!"
George's house was once again filled with boisterous laughter, the sound echoing through the rooms and bouncing off the walls. They may not have gotten all the decorations hung up that day, but it wasn't hard to tell that neither of them really minded at the end of the day.

eddie bracken as orville wingait in summer stock (1950)
#don't get it wrong abigail whacking orville upside the head is during their comedy backstage 5 sec to Resolution ending rush#literal last minute conclusion crunch in unsurprising formatting lol; i chose a more peaceful gif to end on. note the prior one's [feet Up]#i hope this illustrates There Is Much Material. more clips than this & truly as good or better a role as any others to choose from here#summer stock#conveniently it's apparently wingait in the movie but via that casting news this (2023) role is wingate#tcm fancam life...we've all been there. akd talking abt meet me in st. louis like maybe i should rewatch lol. have to muddle through someho#anyways there's for sure room to like grab a little thread of plot and enhance it in this story. e.g. orville & abigail could talk Thrice#their B-plot / more idiosyncratic romance there is still >>>>>> the main JUDY & GENE one unsurprisingly even w/o a third convo lol#whoops the main guy is an asshole. judy/jane learns she loves show business so just kinda may as well be in love w/the show guy ig#like girl you don't have to be...but ofc already although her & orville's dynamic is pleasant enough she seems somewhat disinterested#while fascinatingly for our purposes though orville is framed a bit like [this NERD] he can't be too dunked on b/c [romantic B-plot]#meanwhile abigail's Undeserving Of Gene/Joe (she is but she's too good for him) qualities being just that she's been too Indulged so like#in her lack of protestant ethic farm work she's so conceited & sensitive that she wants to rest & not be yelled at???#smash cut to for real judy/jane on Opening Night like asking tentatively like oh romantic interest you're Not gonna yell at me..??#but she's been Hard Working so she will tolerate the physical AND emotional demands. but she's also more Talented than abigail#so joe need not be mean to her Anyways like. okay wild maybe we could rework that but congrats abigail for NOT ending up w/him fr#meanwhile orville's arc (joe has none to speak of save realizing he wants to make out w/this other woman now) is as clear as anyone's#extricate himself from otherwise only getting to be an extension of his father who is generally interfering / directing / demeaning him als#another ''well i don't know about that'' element in that when orville Does tell him to cut that out his dad actually just rolls with that#and becomes more amicable lol like well that does work out & it's unsurprisingly like cmon orv you can't LET him treat you like that...#and if you didn't? he'd just be like ''oh haha okay''...like is abigail supposed to be ''right'' abt uhh romance there but yet she's just#too sensitive to handle Tell Don't Ask / No Apologies? maybe; but they both end up getting to Not Stand For It lol. i think that that would#ofc still be fun to develop. whereas w/joe it's like uh maybe make him Not a huge asshole in the end / judy p much in love w/Showbiz....#abigail & orville out here decidedly Not About Nonsense....but still a bit zany ig such that after the [imagine the foley] hit: it's good#like i'm sure it's ''orville's still enough of a NERD to be chill w/that'' & ''abigail's still DIFFICULT enough to put her foot down''#['50 gender politics] we all know that couple whose flaws & idiosyncrasies allow them to Apologize & Ask & use their inside voices#and be all upset if someone's trying to demean them. unlike True Romance of the man who won't bully his wife if she earns it :')#joe could instead uhh be a harried director who's actually Wrong for being a dick to his gf (if we even include that) w/the various sources#of pressure to make a show Work but there's all this req'd spontaneity / flexibility anyways & he learns that even if he's clenching throug#it he can Not take it out on other people / Make it succeed by Making ppl do anything. & also jane reminds him of Passion for this.

Random but wtf is going on with the comics? Why is the cowboy one #1 and the bane of blastaar one also #1? Are there two runs going on or something?
Oh it's because Marvel loves branding anything as #1 lol the cowboy one is the only current Guardians ongoing at the moment, with issue #2 coming out later in May. Bane of Blastaar was a one-shot and won't have any consecutive issues coming out directly related to it, think of it as a filler episode from an anime basically. In-universe it's set sometime after the end of Ewing's run and before the current ongoing.
Now there IS a current Avengers Infinity series featuring the Guardians currently going on Marvel Unlimited, it's set in the same vague point of time as the Blastaar one, it updates each Monday for the next few weeks I think? The Guardians seem to just be like guest stars featured in it though.

i never understood why people would subject themselves to difficult games on purpose but there's something about getting your ass kicked and then finding a way to Not get your ass kicked and get THEIR ass kicked instead that's really satisfying ackshually
