#it has grown plot. not the 'this is going to get long' kinda plot tho. more the 'i'll need multiple ficlets to tell this story' kinda plot.

[daughterofhecata]

not to be self-indulgent, aber als prompt fiele mir spontan eine szene ein, in der goodween von skinny einen knutschfleck verpasst bekommt, der den kollegen auffällt 🤔 finde das ship immer noch sehr spannend!

Was lange währt oder so.. Der Gedanke hat mich tatsächlich auch nicht wieder losgelassen und uh. möglicherweise kommt auch definitiv noch mehr zu den beiden.

corpus delicti [hier auf ao3]

Eilig betrat Goodween das Präsidium. Er war spät dran, musste sich beeilen, wenn er sich rechtzeitig zu Dienstbeginn umgezogen haben wollte.

Doch er kam gar nicht bis in die Umkleide, denn kurz vor der Treppe hielt ihn Morales auf. Beäugte im weißen Neonlicht seinen Hals und erkundigte sich: „Sag mal, Goodween, hast du da nen Knutschfleck?!“

Fuck.

Unwillkürlich fuhr seine Hand zu der fraglichen Stelle und in derselben Sekunde wusste er, dass er sich mit der Geste verraten hatte.

„Dieses Aas!“, entfuhr es ihm, ehe er es herunterschlucken konnte.

Zugegebenermaßen, er mochte es, wenn Skinnys Mund über seinen Hals wanderte, die dünnen Lippen und die geschickte Zunge nach empfindlichen Stellen suchten, die ihn erschaudern ließen. Aber eigentlich war er der Ansicht gewesen, die hätten eine Abmachung – keine Spuren zu hinterlassen.

Ihre Kommunikation war durchaus ausbaufähig, das wusste er selbst, bestand meistens hauptsächlich aus Sätzen wie Komm, ich will deinen Arsch, Norris oder Ich hätte nichts gegen nen Blowjob, Officer, doch eins hatten sie beide klargestellt. Das nicht herauskommen sollte, dass sie etwas miteinander hatten.

Denn dann könnten sie beide einpacken – Goodween möglicherweise seiner Sexualität wegen und definitiv, weil er sich auf den stadtbekannten Kleinkriminellen eingelassen hatte, und Skinny, weil ihm sowohl seine Kumpels als auch Goodweens Kollegen ihm einen Strick draus drehen würden, dass er für einen Cop die Beine breit gemacht hatte. Allein dadurch, miteinander im Bett gelandet zu sein, hatten sie sich gegenseitig in der Hand.

Doch offenbar hatte Skinny beschlossen, ihn in Verlegenheit bringen zu wollen. Warum auch immer, wer wusste schon, was im Kopf von Skinner Norris vor sich ging.

Morales sah ihn immer noch überrascht an, vielleicht sogar noch ein wenig mehr als zuvor. Mit der Reaktion hatte er wohl nicht gerechnet.

„Das ist aber keine nette Art-“, setzte er an, wurde jedoch im nächsten Augenblick unterbrochen.

„Gibt es einen bestimmten Grund, warum ihr mitten in der Tür steht?“, erkundigte sich eine Stimme hinter Goodween.

Der nächste Fluch lag ihm auf der Zunge. Er wollte nicht, dass sein Geheimnis irgendeinem Kollegen gegenüber aufflog. Aber es gab genau einen Kollegen, bei dem er unter wirklich allen Umständen vermeiden wollte, das ausgerechnet er davon Wind bekam.

Ein Grinsen ließ sich auf Morales’ Gesicht nieder, das ihn das Schlimmste ahnen ließ.

„Goodween wollte mir gerade erzählen, welchem – und ich zitiere – Aas er seinen Knutschfleck verdankt“, berichtete er viel zu fröhlich.

Schicksalsergeben wandte Goodween sich halb um, begegnete widerwillig Cottas Blick. Sah der Inspektor missbilligend aus oder bildete er sich das ein? War es nur Cottas übliche phasenweise schlechte Laune, die für die gerunzelte Stirn verantwortlich war?

„Eigentlich“, korrigierte Goodween mit leichtem Vorwurf, „wollte ich mich umziehen gehen, damit ich rechtzeitig zu Schichtbeginn einsatzbereit bin.“

Außerdem würde der verdammte Knutschfleck unter dem Kragen seines Uniformhemds verschwinden, wenn er endlich dazu kam, es tatsächlich anzuziehen. Wenn er nach dem Duschen in den Spiegel geschaut hätte, hätte er ein Poloshirt anziehen und damit den peinlichen Fragen direkt vorbeugen können, aber er hatte ja nicht mit so etwas gerechnet.

Cotta sah ihn immer noch mit diesem nachdenklichen Blick an unter dem Goodween sich winden wollte. Nur mühsam konnte er sich daran hindern, an seinem Ausschnitt herum zu zupfen.

„Dann solltest du wohl wirklich runter gehen“, stimmte Cotta schließlich zu, nach einer Pause, die Goodween unendlich lang vorkam, aber vermutlich nur eine Sekunde dauerte. „Außerdem wäre es schön, wenn ihr mich dann mal durch lassen würdet.“

Dankbar für die Vorlage flüchtete Goodween in die Umkleide. Wenn er Glück hatte, hatte Morales das Interesse verloren, bis ihr Dienst begann.

My thoughts on the couples included in Better in Black for those who care

I expect you to write down yours so work work

📍Wessa

You know, as a dedicated Jessa stan I wanna say that it's okay~ Because these two were together for 50 years or sth, there's still some things to add. We might watch them in their 30s, 50s, 60s. I guess at this point both camps have around the same amount of content. Plus I'll have Jessa in twp so I'm in peace 🌱

📍Clace

All my first thoughts are over here. I'm a Clace defender, I'm their oldest stan, I'm a veteran👩‍🦳 So I feel like I have a right to say that...it was kinda unnecessary. We've witnessed every step in their relationship so far, beginning of it in TMI, gentle transition to adulthood in TDA and Tales of Shadowhunter Academy, adulthood in SOBH and proposal. So if the story isn't about their wedding then WHAT THE HELL IS IT ABOUT REALLY? And we know that they won't get married until twp.

📍Anna & Ari (Arianna!)

Hey🥺that is nice, we've seen so little of them in chain of thorns and I've loved them since their debut in 2018 in that short story. I'm very biased when it comes to TLH, cause I'm their mother. So YAY🌱they have a long way to go, Anna still needs to change a tiny little bit for them to be healthy, so I'd love to witness it

📍Jordelia

We all have known about it, because Cassie kinda promised us their story a while ago. Wedding runes scene, honeymoon, kids, mortgage etc. Go kids, slay, serve, eat and so on, I'm excited for u!

📍Sebastian & Seelie Queen

🤨🧐🤔👁👁

Yeah... That famous Sebastian &Fanbase. Like... I'm conflicted, because it's useless and doesn't make any sense even tho it might slay. Listen up, I'll show you.

Lots of people defend it by saying that it might be important for Ash's background in TWP. But... No it's not. Because this is exclusive book made for few people who were lucky and financially stable enough to get it. It won't be posted online. So most people won't read it unless someone leaks it. So there's no point for that story to be important for the plot, therefore it has nothing to do with it.

And it's definitely not "one of the most beloved" couples. BUT LIKE... WHAT IF IT SLAYS? Toxic, unhinged romance, what if I'll love it? 🤡

📍Jemma

So you see the problem? Because it's the same as Clace. What else might she add, because there's nothing. SoBH ended like yesterday. We know exactly where they live rn, their daily routine, their plans. So there's nothing to add between SOBH and twp. What will it be about? Hard to say, but I hope Cassie will come up with sth interesting for them.

📍Thomastair (why did Cassie say Alistair instead of Alastair, I'm lost help me)

Yay🥺slay, serve, eat and leave no crumbs, go, kill it idk you're doing great boys, there's so much to add and explore because they've just started dating. I'm so excited ^-^

📍Kierartkina

That is fine. No matter what I think about their relationship, because in my point of view Cristina and Kieran fell in love because Cassie said so apparently, I still don't mind them being there. Because there's also lots of things to discuss and explore. I hope the story will be soft and warm☀they've just started their advantage so it definitely makes sense

📍Sizzy

Even though we've had lots of them in TMI and Shadowhunters Academy I still think they deserve to be here. They are famous (I guess? 👁👁) and I'd like to know more about their plans for future. Simon was still a teenager in the stories collection and now I'd love to see him as a grown man being in relationship with the woman he loves.

📍Luke & Jocelyn

👁👁🤨🧐🤔👀

Well... That was... Unexpected. I guess... I've just never met their fandom but I hope it's huge af, because I don't know why else would they be here. Sophideon, Gabrily and Charlotte with Henry were supposed to be here, let's be honest. But since they're here, I do think Cassie is able to make a decent story. I expect it to be bittersweet, angsty and somehow heartwarming. I think there's nothing to say except let's wait and find out.

OVERALL I think it's pretty fine. Maximum 7/10 from me. I was ready to face the worst, but it turned out to be... Fine. So it's fine☺🌱

[narwhalandchill]

how are we feeling about this project amber update

assuming this is in relation to childe bc who the fuck else JWDJWJKDJKW anon im so sorry if not. also so so sorry for how out of hand this got. i am simply unwell about him.

But! Well. there certainly are thoughts

(obviously 4.6 datamine of arle SQ and her voicelines; This Will Not Spoil Anything Abt The Main SQ Plot, i only discuss the relevant parts. also some p Heavy negativity towards fanon ooc at the start youve been warned dont @ me)

(i mean i didnt even read anything of the SQ but The scene w childe so idek the main plot of the quest rly either lmao. tho go at ur own risk if u wanna check the dialogue out; its the 2nd quest log but it does hint at the greater story)

TLDR: how i feel abt his appearance in a vaccuum? quite solid despite the briefness, actually. accounting for the way fanon is 100% likely going to be reading into this and turning it into the Lets Infantilize Ajax Even More 2024 championship? conflicted.

in other words; a certified labyrinth warriors moment - theyve expanded on childes character in a very interesting and quite a compelling way and while i Do like the potential in what im seeing from hoyos end theyve also done it so that its going to be misinterpreted to hell and back by fanon so i kinda have an immediate jaded love-hate moment going on JJWJDKJDKJWJDWKJ

its literally just labyrinth warriors flashbacks - that event has some of my ALL TIME favorite insights into who ajax is and how he views the world and himself but when the event came out all everyone cared abt was to warp it into baby boy stuck in scawwy paper boy dungeon dehumanizes himself by calling himself a weapon and doesnt love himself he is such a sad trauma meowkitten 🥺🥺so yeah

bc like lets look at this properly for a bit; okay he went back to fontaine to look for skirk still somewhat injured and waa waa my 286 month infant baby cannot Make decisions like that!!!!!11! which is to say. i am tired of him getting this shit every time.

is it smart of him to get on the move immediately with just the bare minimum of rest? no. do i like that hes straining himself before proper recovery? not particularly no. do i feel the particular need to psychoanalyze this grown man and feared warrior whos 100% survived Way Worse in Way More Extreme Situations for it? hell fucking no.

while not at all the course of action a medical professional would approve of. from childes POV its perfectly logical hes priorizing going back for skirk when its literally the FIRST TIME shes showed up in like. a Decade. when hes been looking for her all this time are you kidding me 😭😭😭 but fanon must keep fanoning for their widdle baby girl so what does a hater like me know

anyway. seething and venting over im gonna try to avoid bringing up how much i hate this kinda infantilization of ajax now im sorry for bringing it up so much on ur innocent ask anon KJWDJKWKJDJDKWJKD. neutral discussion moment. i Promise

so it seems that theyre going for the pulcinella-is-shady-about-ajax (and prolly his family) angle for good and like. personally for me as long as the only real source of that claim was scara (a cynical edgelord who doesnt believe in non-exploitative human relationships, mind you) i was rather skeptical towards just instantly drawing that conclusion, but well. with the scene in arles AQ it appears to be sth theyre building towards

i actually really fucking loved that scene bc while theres outsider perspectives (scara obvi; and even arles line for him has that vibe. and ppl still take that shit face value 💀💀) and a lot of fandom assuming childes like. completely clueless and naive and ignorant towards the potential risks involved with trusting pulcinella. this is actually a very clever demonstration of quite the opposite? and showcasing how despite his aversion towards schemes and lies hes still intelligent and knows the kind of people hes dealing with when it comes to his fellow harbingers

like. childe has a negative opinion of arle based on what pulcinella has told him about her because at face value many of her deeds are in heavy conflict with his values of loyalty and family. and because he does not have the further context behind her actions and what the HotH under her is really like. Obviously hed hold a very hostile and wary view towards arlecchino

(ESPECIALLY when with all this biased intel hes still going to run into kids from the house!!! and then hes going wtf? these are good kids. what the hell is that knave doing with them??? blink twice if you need help i will start a civil war for yall like thats how he is with kids!!!!)

so YES. pulcinella has given him if not false then at least misleading intel based on the political tension between himself and arlecchino and the wider HotH. and childes taken that at face value! sure! he is close with pulcinella of course he would!

BUT. THEN. he returns to fontaine and seeks arlecchinos help looking for skirk. and observes her behavior and modus operandi for himself as well as the kids. does he go "nah she must be just hiding the crazy evil shit i would never distrust pulcinella" and leave it at that when reality doesnt completely match his expectations?

NO. because when offered the opportunity through the traveler asking about the HotH childe immediately capitalizes on the opportunity to prod for answers and see if pulcinella is lying to him!!!!

and hes so fucking smart with the way he does it too???? i LOVE his intelligence. the entire thing is so simple yet elegant; it Completely relies on his reputation as the kinda gullible harbinger whod Never scheme or hide Anything to indirectly affirm or deny his suspicions. he doesnt Need to Pretend to care about the possibility of arle betraying the kids bc he genuinely does!! and when she pushes back against the accusation he doesnt Need to fake admitting to her that well, actually, its all just rumors so he could be completely wrong. and so on. like he navigates the entire thing so effortlessly. and whats the end result?

childe has Confirmation of pulcinellas possible ulterior motives in action AND that arlecchino is a much more reliable ally than he initially assumed. all the while appearing as just The Straightforward 11th. like obviously id need to hear it voiced first to be sure but in text it v much gives the impression hes almost kinda just. playing up the threats towards arle and being "dumb" on Purpose?? to get the answers he wanted out of arle without appearing like hes fishing for anything particular. and i just hhhhhhhhhhh

i love when he does this so muchhhh!!!!!! 😭😭 he doesnt need to become some machiavellian schemer to be able to strategize !!!!!! he avoids scheming bc he Dislikes it not bc hes incapable of it like this has Always been the case Since Liyue AQ and i love whenever they show that side of himm . my Beloved

so anyway. while i do still think the like "pulcinella is bad and has his family hostage" is still kind of a generic plotline and i hope the writing regarding the whole thing wont ultimately turn out to be sth That simplified and black and white. its p clear theyre doing Something with pulcinellas motivations and as they are. im Really glad theyre letting it show that childes not just some completely passive party being manipulated in this all. he Is thinking abt this stuff and his position among the harbingers. ig we shall see where it goes - not the greatest fan of the concept still, but canon text supports it becoming a thing way more than when it was just scaras word we had for it. hope theyll surprise me positively w how they go about it!

then briefly for the rest uhh

also loved arle and childe just shittalking the rest of the harbingers it was amazing. i wasnt expecting this kinda dynamic between them at all but its great lmao. also i wanna see childe hang out w the HotH kids

as for project stuzha; so we dont really get anything solid on it other than being summoned back to snezhnaya for it is apparently a Big Deal. but still very interested. let my man have his endgame significance Trust

childes appearance was obviously v brief ultimately but that was clear from his leaked linecount to begin with - i am pretty satisfied with what they seem to have done w him. like its not The Best but also i wasnt expecting his lore to get some massive expansion in another harbingers SQ . the worst i feared was that it was just going to be a flashback of arle returning his vision which did Not happen so massive W. i am super hyped to hear this scene voice acted proper and happy to see him again, i really hope he gets to appear at least once more in an interlude or dains quest or something before going on hiatus again but idk if thats too much to ask LKKWJDJWDJWD

also: i am never changing my namecard after this patch drops. oh my godddddddd its So Fucking Beautiful 😭😭😭😭

But. Yeah. lots of good stuff. unfortunately lots of it will get misinterpreted and fanon will get obnoxious about it. but i still love getting to see him again and i am speedrunning that namecard day fucking one mutuals and/or followers in EU please add me (UID 711090267) ill need coop buddies for the world bosses

thank youuuuuuu for the ask i hope this monstrosity of a monologue doesnt scare u off 💀💀💀

A warriors…meets…cia again fic???

hold up lemme just—-

😎

😳🕶️🤏

he is only ten years old jes. Devastating. (*adds it to my future a03 bedtime stories to-read later*)

it was like a four word prompt sent in by an anon that’s grown into a huge multi chapter thing because I didn’t expect it to get as long as it has and now I’m realizing I have to break it up into chapters 😭 I’ve literally been working on it for like… five months, poor Mandarin Wars Anon has had to deal with my dumb ass getting too carried away with things and I’m so grateful for their patience 😭 It’s been scrapped and completely rewritten at MINIMUM like six times now, the plot has been COMPLETELY changed, it’s been a wild ride 😭 I’m sticking it in my ‘You’re A Part Of Me’ series which has been a bit fun because i get to drag little elements from past fics in that series into this one. small enough things that someone who hasn’t read the series won’t feel like theyre missing something but people who HAVE might recognize the reference

the plot has sort of turned into a murder mystery almost… im losing my mind, genuinely, i’ve put so much time into this fic

it’s also something i’ve been struggling with the rating on for months, because while I do not write explicit things (because that is my personal preference), the themes are a bit heavy, and because of that I decided I’ll be raising the rating to M. Which has also just allowed me to add in other things unrelated to the initial reason I was worrying over the rating and not worry about thinking “is this too violent-“. A while ago I considered writing two versions of the fic because I know a lot of people who’d been following me back when I got that prompt in the first place were really really excited about it, but that’s a lot of editing and I’m not sure how many people are still that into it 😭 So i’ll probably do a poll or make a post or SOMETHING to see if people would want a T rated version, if enough people do I’ll edit the fic

to be so so clear tho: the main reason this fic is going to be rated M is because of heavy themes, heavy discussions, and trauma related to a past event, i just wanted to play it safe. since deciding i was going to rate it higher, ive allowed myself to throw in more detailed descriptions of violence and nightmares and shit like that. and the main part of the fic that made me first think i should bump the rating up is going to have like *** in the text before and after it so people can just skip that if they want, cos if I’m gonna write a fic about trauma, then i’m gonna write a fic about trauma. and this is my free therapy so 🕺🕺🕺

anyways, i don’t wanna say it because i feel like then it’s just not gonna happen, but I’m hoping and PRAYING i can post the first chapter when Mandarin Wars Anon gets back 😭 fingers fuckin crossed. AND THE FIC ACTUALLY HAS A NAME NOW, WHICH IS FUCKING CRAZY AFTER FIVE MONTHS OF JUST CALLING IT “Mandarin Wars Anon’s Fic”

also i’ve been debating letting Time just go absolutely batshit towards the end of this fic because he kinda deserves it, as a little treat, yknow?

i really hope it lives up to the expectations🧍‍♂️ ive felt a lot of pressure while working on this cos so many people have gotten excited for it and im a BIT worried its just going to absolutely suck, so if i drop it and disappear off the face of the earth for a bit its because the anxiety ate me alive

[mysterialistic]

Over-analyzing the Yingdu Chapter [PART 3]

They've already told us the synopsis of the Yingdu Chapter, but this is just scratching the surface. This is how I think the plot will go down:

The chapter will start with the flashback of Cheng Xiaoshi's death and how Lu Guang went back to the past. At the same time, we'll probably see the scene of Liu Xiao pointing his gun at the grown man and asking about Cheng Weimin.

Now, this is where things get confusing cause... what's the deal with Cheng Weimin? It's not confirmed, yet very evident that this man is Cheng Xiaoshi's father, but why would Liu Xiao be looking for him?

Well, I have three guesses:

1. Cheng Weimin has powers like his son.

2. Cheng Weimin had powers but gave them to his son before dissappearing/dying.

3. Cheng Weimin pretended to have powers but in reality it always was Cheng Xiaoshi so, to protect him, Cheng Weimin and his wife disappeared.

The third option is my favorite because there's a text in the teaser that says this:

It seems like a message directed to Lu Guang and it's either from himself from the future or it's from someone else who cares a lot for Cheng Xiaoshi, for example, his parents.

Going back to the plot...

Lu Guang has the nightmare, sees Vein and the messages for him to go to Bridon. There'll probably be a lot of reluctance regarding if they should go or not, ultimately taking the journey because... Well, because we need the story to move forward lol.

When they arrive to Yingdu something tells me that initially Cheng Xiaoshi won't find anything about his parents, which leads to this scene of him looking sadly at a picture (of his parents?) I would like to make a small parenthesis to point out that we DON'T know if in this part of the story CXS already has knowledge about his powers or not.

This part were he's looking sadly at the picture could mean one out of two things:

1. He has his powers and dived into the photo but found nothing.

2. He doesn't have powers and he simply didn't find any useful clues outside of the photo.

I honestly think that they will have their powers already cause it's a plot device, it helps advancing the story and solving mysteries/conflicts. Unless they decide to make CXS awaken his powers in here, which could be really cool too.

Getting back on track...

Cheng Xiaoshi doesn't find anything useful and Lu Guang is probably relieved because that means that they can go back home, but then the antagonists appear. I don't know how or why because, well, we haven't seen anything about it and I would just be making completely blind suppositions lol.

Tho, something worth noting on this scene is that, by the way the camera moves when focusing on CXS, it seems like if someone was... Watching him? Probably one of the trio. I could be totally wrong.

So yeah, long story short, they have to stay in Yingdu for some reason involving the antagonists and they get entangled in dangerous situations such as the previous seasons. One of the texts mentions: "The two had a quarrel that shouldn't have happened". I honestly don't know what this could mean. Is it referring to Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang as a pair or is it a one vs one? Let's wait and see.

So... This is where it gets tragic. Brace yourselves!

At the very end of this video that Bilibili and the Link Click official Twitter account uploaded two months ago, we get a small preview of the Yingdu Chapter.

And what's so relevant about this? Well, at the very end we can hear a gunshot and Cheng Xiaoshi groaning in pain before dropping to the ground, then we hear Lu Guang calling his name and another gunshot.

I'm sadly sure that CXS is going to die again. Why? Because it just doesn't make sense that they went through something so important and dramatic during Yingdu for them to never talking about it beyond mentioning a trip abroad. This is gonna sound bad, but it's the easiest solution the writers have to prevent plot holes.

Cheng Xiaoshi dies; maybe even Vein and Xia Fei die too? I kinda have the feeling that something big is gonna happen because of this text in the teaser:

The letters are yellow, a color that represents Cheng Xiaoshi. It could be him asking Lu Guang to go back in time to fix things, to which Lu Guang answers:

Lu Guang gets CXS's powers, goes back in time again and we'll arrive to the present time line... Maybe)? This I don't know because there's symbolisms of multiple attempts. A good example is this scene in the VORTEX/Overthink music video:

But yeah, who knows, this is all very speculative cause they haven't shown us a lot.

Probably the "trip abroad" that they mention on season one is not Yingdu? Maybe they do go on a journey, but something more happy like those images they've shown us of CXS and LG riding a car, with beach wear. Idk guys, I'm just trying to find a bit of happiness in here lol.

Anyway, the only thing I have for certain is that the Yingdu Chapter is going to HURT, just like the rest of the donghua.

So... Thanks for reading! Leave me your theories, I love hearing other's speculations!

TW: SUICIDE MENTION, VIOLENCE

i knew i said i would take a little break, but ive been mentally declining a lot and drawing my silly guys is my way of coping. I never actually properly drew Wendy from 2301, so im filling in the blanks.

I'd like to think of her as a person who never actually... grows up. She just kinda gets taller and more sad over time. Wendy was always very vulnerable but cheerful, and House kinda groomed her into a serious and politically aware person, still unbelievably vulnerable but a viable subject nonetheless. I always had this problem with writing her relationship with another canon character, no one realistically would give a fuck about her and her opinions. Sure, maybe Arcade will pity Wendy because she's "stupid" from a neurotypical point of view, but other than that, she doesn't have any weight in any political conversation that's going on in the Mojave. So I made her really fucking stubborn. Annoyingly so. Wendy just... gets the job done. She's resourceful, efficient and very easy to manipulate. A perfect fit for a House's courier, I think. She doesn't question his orders, she does not care for consequences as long as she has House as her cover (a trait she inherited from her step-father) and she's sometimes sociopathic and numb to voices of empathy. Not in a "edgelord murder killer girl" way but more like. She doesn't see people who hurt her as humans. A coping mechanism that would probably be the end of her, sometime in the future. I mean, she did confront Benny and got really physical. There was no way she could've win a fight against a grown ass man, and Benny did beat the shit out of her, but in the end he was the one with a cracked open skull. I just like to think that her pure madness and helplessness was enough to fuel her mind and overpower something she had no chance against in the first place. SPEAKING OF CHANCE. That's why I think she would totally get along with Chance, the Khan from the comic. I don't really put a thought about how he would've survived or joined her, but they're pretty much soulmates. They have very different backgrounds, personalities, literally anything, but Chance recognises her rage. Her inability to do what's right and the constant fight against unfightable (?) circumstances she's facing every day. I'd like to think he's autistic too. As a treat.

So yeah, she's super uncertain about anything in her life, and that makes her a very useful tool in the hands of a right man. Mr. House mastefully manipulated her personality in a conventional way, taught her the secret and mysterious knowledge of "masking" and sat her down for a few years to teach her ways of the capital and created this really sad but smart and charismatic politician with no real political voice whatsoever. She's also very cute and sweet looking so yeah. He made himself a Tandi. 😭😭 Also he scanned her brains, which would totally not be a big plot point for the future.

Almost perfect, but Sharky is here too, for some reason. He's the biggest pain in the House's ass since Benny. He has a certain emotional intellect, not easy to bribe or manipulate in mental or physical way, he really fucking cares for his sister, and is very aware of the things The Big Guy does to her. See, Sharky wasn't raised by his sister, she was a child herself at that time, and his mother didn't play much role either, too busy bickering with Aletus and then later too busy drinking and fucking in Gomorrah. Sharky was raised by the Strip and the rules of Wasteland. He might not be the smartest guy alive, but emotionally he's mature beyond belief. He's very observant, empathetic and cunning person. Even tho he was mute most of his childhood because of child neglect and untreated autism, he has incredible social skills and a Yes-man in his basement he found while renovating the Tops. He has a plan. Not a good one, but a plan nonetheless.

I have so much OC material I'm ought to write a fanfic. Or a comic, idk. In my dreams, sure, but it's still refreshing to talk about my ocs and draw them, and recieving feedback and praise for my storytelling skills 😭😭😭 it means a lot. Thank you all for reading this far!!!

[fyodior]

i know what you mean with bsd, i feel like the lack of fan content and the lack of quality in recent chapters is whats made bsd less fun for me. i used to write for it on my actual blog, i only wrote a few things before i just started to lose interest bc i wasnt getting much enjoyable content and a lot of the content felt really far from what i was looking for.

fyodor has always been my fav in bsd and probably always will be and i have psychoanalyzed his character to hell and back which also really made me like bsd less because a lot of asagiri's choices made me have to deconstruct all the thought i had put into this character whom i loved. (its even worse bc it was while i was making a really long google doc analyzing his character.)

i dont know if other people relate but i do feel like asagiri kinda killed his own fandom because bsd isnt as fun anymore so people dropped it. like the constant deathbaiting gets frustrating and waiting a month to find out whats going to happen in a story that feels like its falling off feels more like doing a chore than excitement and anticipation.

- 💄

i agree to an extent but i still have a pretty strong interest in bsd LMAO i guess for me when the story lacks or goes off the walls i tend to really cling to characters. i live in my own little mind palace mostly lmaooo

i think a “downfall” of manga just in general is that we can’t see the big picture yet. we obviously only get snippets of story at a time. so this could theoretically all wrap up beautifully and end up making sense but in the mean time that’s not quite the case LMAO but i don’t hate the current story as much as others seem to? it’s a little spastic but otherwise i like it. and i think once this arc wraps up it’ll feel more fulfilling. i don’t personally wanna say it’s falling off tho

and i personally don’t think asagiri has bastardized his characters too much but i think others might disagree. i think he’s kept everyone pretty consistent, but fyodor has had some radical changes but that comes alongside such a massive plot twist, that clearly has been in the making for a while (re: fyodor’s grown appearance in untold origins)

i think to a degree a character can be your own though. obviously source material is important but you don’t have to give up everything you loved and cherished about a character because they changed in the series! you can do whatever you want lmaooo so i don’t think you should let that hinder your love and analysis of fyodor

but yeah. 2 years later and i still love bsd and i don’t see it going away any time soon 😭

[thelunarbar]

Back to my rewatching(was waiting for DVDs to show up bc I got tired of watching it in my phone)

Ah the classic forgot where I parked the car thing. We’ve all been there

Why was his first thought to run over the cars??? I mean ig it took less time and maybe he wanted the noise but it seems very unnecessary

Distractions i.e. Allison

Liar. and point proven literally ten seconds later. God I hate him he’s so annoying

Oh good more cringey teenage make outs 🤮 and it never ends wtf

Ha cockblocked

I refuse to believe she wouldn’t need Kate to spell Gevaudon(probably misspelled that which I think proves my point quite well)

Tyler posey is not a great actor

Seriously enough with the super dim lighting already 😭

Love the sitting in the dark waiting for Scott thing that Derek does

Liar. Why do people lie so much in this show??? Just be freaking honest with people. And if they aren’t lying they’re being vague and cryptic Oi with the poodles already

Scott has no right being annoyed at stiles for being upset with him

Stiles is me. I am stiles. We are one. Wanna use the silent treatment but someone has to tell my friends they’re dumbasses

I feel like she wouldn’t have been able to find a book on some random French fairytale that easily but maybe that’s just me

Eyyyyy Star Wars reference love it

This feels so like smth teenage boys would do so props to the writers for that. Ofc normal boys would tie up their friend and chuck lacrosse balls at them for fun with no ulterior motive but still

This is so gross why did they have to show him retching like that???

I’m used to being special and now I’m not is literally Jackson’s whole argument for why he’s an ass to Scott and like buddy grow up the world doesn’t revolve around you

Why is Allison not commenting on the fact that he kinda looks like he’s dying rn?

I love stiles rolling his eyes when Allison says maybe she can bring Scott’s grade up 😂 I’m with stiles on that

Coach is probably my favorite character

Ik stiles intelligence gets talked about quite a bit but imo it can always be talked about more

Ofc then he does smth dumb like scratch up so dudes truck and then makes the guy think it was Scott that did it and gets him beat up by like four grown men sooooooo still a teenage boy

I mean at least chem teacher stopped the beating up of Scott but I still hate him

I fucking love Derek’s car

How did he afford it tho??? And like where does he park it when he goes to his house bc it’s never there when he is

Don’t we find out deaton has known the hales for a long time? Why are he and Derek acting like they’ve never met before? Maybe I’m misremembering

Wow and moving right on to tying him up

I feel like they totally change what/who deaton is to the plot later on bc none of this makes sense with what I remember happening later on

Ahhhh love stiles jeep too

See I remember the going to the school and Scott howling through the PA system but I did not remember deaton being tied up in the back of Derek’s car

Scott’s first attempt at howling is horrifying and hilarious at the same time

And Derek’s “you’ve gotta be kidding me”

And then stiles “like a cat being choked to death Scott”

Sour wolf

Gross. I really didn’t need to see all the blood pouring from Derek’s mouth

Also is that what Peter looks like as the alpha always or does that change later bc he doesn’t look how I remember? My memory of this show isn’t great tho

HAIII ME AGAINNN

Just wanted to pass by and ask: Where are Mewmew's kits now ? They musta grown quite a bit since that photo, so I'm kinda curious myself :33 How's their relationship with m too ? Is it good ? Do they know Bout Evie in the house ?

Hiiiii you can read more on tha kittens here and here :3

Here's also some art I done of them!

[Two slight updates on the kittens' (adult) names but Goop is now Goog, and Turbotuho goes by just Turbo! Other than that there's not too much new.]

•Googy (Mew Jr.), as mentioned somewhere in the fuzzy past, is a housecat for good. Yes, they're on the same level mentally as Mewmew and everyone else, and also has the option to choose to develop some kind of alternative mecha mode. But they completely choose not to, and so remain in cat mode indefinitely. Mew Jr. Is fully content to live as a normal pet cat until the end of time (or until their.. Humans pass away from old age..) Junior is a laidback personality who envied normal cats in their kittenhood and thus made the decision to become one as much as possible. Cannot be convinced to adopt some alt form and is rarely in contact with their siblings. However Turbo misses them sometimes, and Goog has the ability to use a phone (opposable thumbs you see), so they call sometimes. Mewmew is completely accepting of this lifestyle choice, if not very distant to Mew Jr...

•Captain Tiramisu and Turbo are living a space opera/cheesy scifi drama somewhere in the far off cosmos, and they're very close! They're each other's emotional support, even if they're perpetually bickering. Similarly to Mew Jr., they both chose the kind of external mode that they personally found the absolute coolest, and live in robot mode almost exclusively. Turbo is more keen to kitty around every so often tho, for comfort reasons. Turbo is the sweet optimist of the two, and loves breaking stuff. An absolute biting fiend as a cat. Love language is biting (Cap'n Tiramisu also bites but not lovingly).

There's no nicer way to say this but Tiramisu is an egotistical, petty brat. While Turbo is more of a follower personality, they do also blatantly and stubbornly make their own choices and turns along the way. Many people often wonder how these two can stand each other, but Turbo often comforts Tiramisu when things don't go their way and occasionally enables their bombastic revenge plots, and Tiramisu will violently explode you if you're mean to their baby sibling. Turbo likes to test Captain's patience (making them a better person by pettily not leaving them any other choice sometimes), and Captain "Mom friend anxiety hack"s* their way to helping Turbo take care of, or stand up for themself more. *(aka. Oh no I'm too nervous to do this thing. Oh, you're also too nervous to do this thing? I'll fucking do it double for you then!!!)

Both are neurodivergent so they also assist each other in whatever the other can't do. Despite having many petty and childish traits to them, these two make it work.

•Relationship with Mewmew can be summed up with:

Captain Tiramisu - Geez mom/dad, you're embarrassing meeeeee.... Ugh... Fine. I love you.. Yeah yeah I'll send you a post card from the milkyway association's holiday hotel.. Yeah of course I won't get into trouble (gets into trouble as soon as they depart)

Turbo - Oh weee yuppeee It's mom/dad ^~^ so here's everything I've been up to since we last saw (talks for three hours), sorry I didn't call you I forgot, wow you're so cool I love you, and Tiramisu and Mew Jr. Love you too. Okay bye, I wanna go do something now! I'll call you (forgets to call.)

Admittedly they've gotten distant with adulthood.

•To address the.. Evie in the room, I will just say that none of the kittens know of Mewmews life during the galactic alliance, they only know Mewmew "did something in the military but quit to pursue a peaceful life". The kits were born after quitting. They do know of Evilicus, as that scary dark lord that was defeated long ago, and they actually do community service sometimes for planets that Evie's reign has left scarred and ravaged. They however definitely haven't been in touch with Mewmew recently enough to know Evie is roommates now lolol

Thank you for the ask!!! ^w^

[amphibifish]

should I read maloki because even though it's not the best adaptation I'm kind of curious. Is it worth reading

hmm it's really dependent on how much weird ship bait fan service (i think that's the term?) and general bad plot bullshit you're willing to put up with lmao. i go on a very long rant abt everything that sucks so umm yeah. everything i say is abt the manga unless stated otherwise

i'd def skip the chapter in the first season of the manga where loki gets cursed w a rune that makes him switch personalities cause it's really weird and bad and just weird. i'm not getting into specifics cause it's weird for me to describe but just like. skip it.

another thing thats weird for u to look out for is freyr's infatuation w mayura (who's a teen girl). in the anime its not as bad cause he's explicitly a teenager (he gets enrolled in her school with the purpose of saving her mystery club) but it's never said so in the manga so it kind of just looks like a grown man doting after this teen. actually on that, most of the gods are shown in some sort of shippy way with her at least once in the manga. narugami (thor) is probably the most normal occurrence since he's explicitly a high schooler in both the anime and manga. there's a scene where heimdall (who's also like a middle schooler like loki is) kisses mayura to make loki jealous or whatever. just to piss him off.

loki also gets ship bait with a lot of the female chars too like w mayura freyja and skuld. it's. yeah you know how it is

less weird things but just kind annoying plot things that happen are loki getting out of heimdalls assignation attempts with weak explanations and also the author doing the thing where you're assumed to dislike heimdall so the sometimes the plot just shits on him for no reason (there's a chapter where loki and heim get magically transported to a magic school and he spawns in already copying lokis homework and everyone yells at him for it. bro did NOTHING !!!)

i will say that after you get past that first season of the manga it's so much better on the weird bullshit tho ! ragnarok is much better abt it and doesn't have any so bad i recall immediately and shinsekai no kamigami doesn't either. that isn't to say the plots for those aren't kinda sucky too but they're better than whatever the first season put out.

the anime gets rid of sooo much of this weird bullshit and i think does some characters better (heim and freyr get more of a proper emotional bond with each other. as sad as it is i really like what they did with hel and i personally like loki and mayura's dynamic more in the anime) but unfortunately it's majority filler so the manga has a better plot so u kinda just have to decide what you're willing to put up with fsfsfs

actually on that freyja is better written in the manga i think than the anime once again we cannot win both versions just suck. she's still kind of portrayed as loki obsessed in the manga but not to the awful degree that the anime does.

there's the occasional homophobic remarks in the manga but that's few and far between and so i choose to just ignore it.

not fault of the author but also some scanlations have really weird translators notes on some of the chapters too.

as for what's good about it. it's really heimdall and lokis conflict. it's interesting i think because of lokis feelings towards heimdall out of guilt and drives a lot in the first and third season of the manga (it's a little bit forgotten in the middle of the anime lol). i think freyr and heimdall are funny characters and i like every chapter with them in it as do i like every scene in the anime with them in it. they sort of have that odd couple dynamic and it's nice to see heimdall warm up to freyr over the course of the show and become better friends. mayura without the ship bait is also a fun character i think ! she's a mystery obsessed highschooler who loves the supernatural and so she sticks around loki who's a detective a child and an exorcist! thor is also a fun char and he's lokis best friend and mayura's classmate who has a shit ton of jobs. yamino is jormungandr and he's there but to me he's not the most interesting char. i can't say much about the plot without spoilers but it's okay and gets interesting in ragnarok. overall the characters are what makes it fun for me and thus i ignore much of canon and think about them in the vacuum chamber of my mind lol.

but yeah that's my review ig of maloki. it's Not Good but i think if you're looking for something fun ragnarok is an okay read cause the characters are silly in that one and it's not so weird and also has the best plot probably. shinsekai no kamigami is also fun and i think that plot is super interesting BUT like i said its half unscanlated. and then if you're gonna start from the very beginning i would just skip any chapter that has the weird bullshit it's probably not plot relevant anyway. the anime is more lighthearted i think and has more character bonding time but it's also a lot a lot a lot of filler. so yeah.

i'm so sorry this got so so long but i had a fun time complaining because i have a lot to complain about and i hope this helps lmao

[atanx]

Just finished Yakuza 3 so here's some of my thoughts:

BEAUTIFUL EYES

Richardson and Kiryu talking at each other in different languages was so funny to me. Like they don't understand each other yet stubbornly keep talking as if they did XD

RIKIYA DYING WAS SO UNNECESSARY FOR THE PLOT WHYY like Kiryu has GOT to get rid of his stupid habit of leaving defeated enemies to their devices around various lethal objects (especially guns). Because they always, ALWAYS get back up. I'm not saying he should kill them. But like secure them in SOME way. Start carrying around some rope or something. I'm not ashamed to admit that I cried.

Damn, Mine, babygirl, you are so beyond fucked up you need therapy BAD

Poor Daigo like imagine getting shot, being in a coma and you wake up on a rooftop in fucking december, toes freezing off, falling off of a hospital bed and immediately being greeted with the sight of several gun wielding assholes. You shoot them, still confused about what's going on (why tf is your father-figure of sorts there? Why is the dude u wished was ir boyfriend there? WHY ARE THEY SHIRTLESS AND BLOODY). Then ur crush starts spouting cryptic shit, the dude you shot somehow still has fight in him and to save you, your crush charges at him, getting shot multiple times and then tells you that he doesnt deserve to live before throwing himself off the roof. You've been awake for three minutes.

Also Haruka slapping Mine was EPIC. She should have kept going, kicked Mine in the shin, bitten his arm etc all feral foaming-at-the-mouth chihuahua mode

Also Mine feeling good about himself for having slapped a teen back. A grown ass adult. Like damn dude has issues

I'm stilk very upset about Rikiya. Like one moment I would run away from him in the Kamurocho streets and giggle with a warm feeling in my chest when he'd scream "ANIKII!!" and then the next he fell victim to this stupid gimmick of defeated opponents not being taken care of properly

I honestly feel like that gimmick is so overdone at this point

I think I did something wrong during the final boss battle because Mine was constantly going into this Jojo's bizarre adventure pose and regenerating health AND I had to do like the exact same QTE cutscene like four times even though I never failed it (besides the first time)

RIGHT I ALMOST FORGOT my steam screenshot folder is prob like 90% just various Majima facial expressions because I enjoyed them so much. Reminds me of that post going like "while older character models are kinda eh Majima's crowfeet in them slap!" and I really agree. I'm playing the games chronologically and when I got to YK2 something about Majima just looked extremely off but I couldn't put my finger on it. I think that's it tho they ironed him out and took away his wrinkles :(. Like obvs the model is still good it was just a weird change that I'm not sure why they implemented it. Anyway the Y3 Majima expressions are fucking precious especially the grins

Also pink truck scene probably best scene in the game it was so cute the way Majima was worried that he accidentally ran over Kiryu <3

I took way too long to finish this game because the old graphics are kind of jarring especially considering I played Judgement and Lost Judgement at the same time, but it was still a pretty good game. (another contributing factor was that for some reason the game doesn't allow me to do anything else on my PC besides access the taskbar while I'm playing it so taking short breaks is harder. The game literally does not allow for any apps to show up on screen) I'd really like a YK3 I think that would be epic especially to get an updated Rikiya model (I think there's an updated Mine model in Ishin? Idk anyway just more modern graphics would be really cool)

I can continue with Y4 now, which I'm really excited for because I've hears quite a bit of stuff about Akiyama and Saejima and this will be like the first proper contact with them and their storylines. I've actually started Y4 already and Akiyama has major cat energy to me

[absolutebl]

Hi, do you have any recommendations for a bl series similar to Manner of Death? Thanks a lot🫀

BL similar to (but not the same as) Manner of Death?

Honestly there really aren't any exactly like it. MoD is pretty unique, being more gay romantic suspense than it is BL. And using high heat and an excellent established pair with great chemistry to add to the story (rather that distract from it). 

Also you didn’t say what you liked about MoD. The suspense plot? The mature characters? The mystery elements? The action sequences? The doctor/mafia pairing (good boy/bad boy)? The high domesticity? The high heat? 

So I know stuff that hits some of the above but not others. Here you go, in no particular order... 

Tale of a Thousand Stars - Thailand, YT 

Why similar? Mature characters, complex story structure, few tropes, no trigger issues, queer friendly, great production. Spoiled rich boy gets heart transplant that changes his life, heads into mountains to teach at rural school, falls in love with park ranger. 

Not similar? More just a gay romance. No suspense elements. Low heat. 

3 Will Be Free - Thailand, YT 

Why similar? Queer AF crime thriller about three 20 somethings on the run after accidentally killing an assassin: a grifter, a nerdy mafia kid, and a stripper. They're chased by more assassins out for revenge. They all end up sleeping with each other in various ways (gay, bi, het) and all kinda end up together in a V too. All the characters are treated with complete integrity, including the assassins, and everyone is very queer, including the assassins. 

Why not similar? Not a BL, only HFN, not strictly gay. 

He’s Coming to Me - Thailand, YT 

Why Similar? It’s a mystery? Ghost is trying to figure out how he died and then who killed him. Ends up cohabitating with a boy who can see him and will help him figure it out. They fall in love. 

Not similar? Well this one is a paranormal romance. I think it has a clean better story structure. Much less suspenseful. Low heat. 

Not Me (Airing Now) - Thailand, YT 

Why similar? Full of plot, crime and punishment style, motorcycle gang of malcontents trying to take down the corrupt politician. Has suspense elements. 

Why not? Less mature characters. Good chemistry from an established pair, but not high heat. No real mystery element. Identical twins trope. 

Until We Meet Again - Thailand, YT 

Why similar? Mystery of interweaving past lives. Violence and suspense. Complicated plot (better executed tho). 

Why not? Red thread soulmates trope, very much BL setting and courting rituals, low heat, younger characters. 

Mr Cinderella - Vietnam, YT 

Why similar? Adult grown up characters in a bad boy + good doctor pairing. Great domesticity and physical contact, good kisses. Medium heat. 

Why not? Not much of a mystery. It’s V-BL so pour production values (by comparison). Not much plot and no suspense. Action scenes are weak. Much shorter series. 

HIStory 3: Trapped - Taiwan, Viki 

Why similar? This is probubly the most like what you are looking for. Cop is chasing a mafia boss because of a cold case they were both involved with many years ago. They end up on the same side trying to figure out who done it. Fall in love. Very good high heat. Meanwhile there is another pairing of nerd//hacker cop and mafia assassin. It’s GREAT. Long series for Taiwan, too. 

Why not? Main characters end up together but have an amorphous ending. Very much BL trappings. It’s Taiwan so expect it to be Taiwanese about everything. 

Long Time No See - Korea, Gaga 

Why similar? Mature characters, high heat, very suspenseful. Assassins on either side of a terf war fall in love not knowing they are on opposite sides. Or do they? Good fight sequences. 

Why not? Short series, both of them are bad boys. It’s more “can they kill their way free” than it is a mystery. 

If that pitch doesn’t sell you I don’t know what will. 

You Make Me Dance - Korea, Viki 

Why similar? Bad boy mafia type meets goodie two shoes. Loan shark goes to put the squeeze on a lonely college dancer, falls in love with him, moves in. 

Why not? This is a more classic BL. Also it’s Korea, so very short. Medium heat. 

BROMANCES 

The Devil Judge - Korea, Viki 

Why similar? All the crime thriller suspense you could want in a Judge Dredd dystopia. Lots of gay domesticity (of course, they not *actually* gay). 

Why not? It’s not BL at all. It’s also not a gay romance. Characters end up apart. 

S.C.I. Mystery - Hong Kong, grey or ? 

Why similar? Adult characters cohabitating, rough and tumble cop + nerdy academic profiler. Lost of suspense and mystery action. 

Why not? They married but the show pretends they are “cousins.” 

Update from the future...

BLs that have airs since Manner of Death that also might entertain in a similar way:

Triage

Dear Doctor I'm Coming for Your Soul

Laws of Attraction

The Eclipse

Ghost Host, Ghost House

KinnPorsche

Oh! My Sunshine Night (at the end)

Kiseki: Dear to Me

Never Let Me Go

Make a Wish

The Sign

Pit Babe

Many of these are absolutely hot messes, but at least they aren't boring.

Please be a bit more specific about Bernd das Brot being a Horror Movie concept??

I AM SO GLAD YOU ASKED ANON (also sorry it took me literal weeks to answer this ask it got lost in my drafts sorry <3 it is now almost 1am and i feel the need to answer this RIGHT NOW so if anything is incoherent i'm sorry its bc i need to go to bed <3)

okay, so, I don't know how much background information you have on Bernd, so I'm just gonna assume zero. He is character of German's children television channel KiKa.

first of all, pls read this character description wikipedia made with the fact that Bernd is a character made for children in mind:

do not ask any child that has grown up with seeing Bernd on TV if they are okay. We are not. But that doesn't qualify the concept of Bernd das Brot as a horror movie yet, it is just an,,, let's call it interesting (aslo very relatable) choice for a characterization for a childrens TV character).

What I was particularily talking about when i called it that was Die Nachtschleife - the night loop.

The night loop is shown on Kika between 9pm and 6am every day. During that time, the channel is not broadcasting any particular content except a looped 7-25min long clip throughout the whole night. And the most prominent character in this loop: you guessed it, BERND! our beloved depressed loaf of bread <3

Where it enters horror genre is that the general plot of every loop is that Bernd gets dropped into an empty, white room against his will. He is getting manhandled by a robotic arm and a disembodied computer voice called "Weißbox Master Control Programm" ("white box master control programm") is the only one talking to Bernd - and it is also talking to the audience, it's kind of like the moderator of the whole thing. The voice is then requesting Bernd to do several things for the audience, which Bernd doesn't want to do. All Bernd wants to do is escape the room but he never manages to do it and always gets dragged back etc and at the end of the loop, it always seems like Bernd manages to escape somehow just for the clip to end there and the loop beginning from the start where Bernd is dropped in the white void again.

So this loop continues thru the whole night, getting shown on the childrens channel, and it's just a depressed loaf of bread who hates his life being forced to be in a room and not being able to leave in any way and stuck in a loop, being forced to be in front of the tv viewers (the 4th wall basically doesnt exist, bernd openly talks to the audience how he has enough of television and how viewers should turn off the tv etc). Bernd is held against his will, forced to do (often for him humiliating) stuff, tries to escape for the whole night and never manages to do it, his hope of escaping always squashed when thebloop stsrts again, stuck in a loop, has a disembodied voice telling him what to do and a robotic arm moving him w/o his will and it is intended to be mainly seen by children (even tho the night loop - in bernds case bernd - is constantly telling the viewer to turn the tv off). THEY PUT SOMEONE W DEPRESSION THRU ALL THIS UGHHHH LEAVE HIM ALONE STOP TORTURING HIMMMM

there is more to expand on but this is all i have at 1am and if anyone says its not a horror concept they are wrong <3

also, kinda unrelated but bernd is a trans king <3

[master-of-stupidity]

So for the Oni Martin Au- it's mostly gonna be like the Canon Ninjago universe but with some obvious changes-

First no Misako or any love interest for the bros cause I don't wanna-

Chris as a Sensei has a small braid kinda like Canon Wu (Btw he tells the Ninja shit- cause he knows better)

So the ninja- there's only gonna be 5 I'm sorry

Jay is replaced with Jimmy Z

Nya is replaced with Koki

Zane is replaced with Aviva

Then the oc's

Kai is replaced with Nicole

Cole is replaced with Cori

(I'm still unsure how to do season 3 or Aviva hence Zane being a robot so 😅)

Martin had grown his hair out due to being in the Underworld for so long- (also no weird helmet >:[ I'ma give him a bandana for the plot of season 2 to work)

Martin is rlly tall, and is a bastard towards the Ninja- he very much doesn't take them seriously

Also whenever Chris and Martin are together they share a braincell- Chris doesn't trust Martin in charge tho

For Resurrected um- whoo uh- he gets the white hair- but is basically replacement Harumai's weapon-

Resurrected is even more socially awkward and distant- (along with an identity crisis)

I have a few ideas for the villains- keeping most of em the same-

Chen or Clouse could be Donita- thinkin Zach could be Harumai but could be someone else- maybe Ronin-

Chris and Martin still know loads about animals they just don't go on as many adventures anymore as they did when they were kids (when they for breaks at least lol)

Chris would adore the cat tower palace from the book-

Also Martin getting possessed/used is something he's going to get used to tbh- doesn't mean he likes it-

They look and are around the same age/appearance as they are in the show-

Chris has a small brown tabby cat

Chris doesn't usually wear his straw hat as much- it's mostly on his back

Martin as an oni is just a goofy guy who is also feral and will bite you

Once he turns back to normal he immediately misses the tail and paw pads-

[haemosexuality]

i havent talked about catradora in a while lets do that. about the "catradora is abusive" take bc surprisingly there r still people saying that lmfao

like i keep seing those takes on tiktok now and it makes me think of that post about how characters are not Actual Living People but parts of a narrative that tells a story. like. catra and adora are not real ppl there is not an actual war happening where catra is a catgirl that scratches adora as they fight. yes, obviously physical violence exists in abusive relationships exist in the real world, but catradora isnt a story about an abusive relationship, so thats not what their real world equivalent would be. catra's story is about how growing up in an abusive environment (and more especially a religious one) affects you, it's a story about being traumatized and hurting and taking that out on the people around you, on getting worse and worse bc you refuse to get help. the show doesnt portray that as "its justified because shes mentally ill" tho, shes literally a villain through most of it, and all of her bad actions are shown to have bad consequences for her, like scorpia leaving. at the end, tho, she makes an effort to get better- she apologizes, for everyone she hurt, taking the blame. she doesnt force anyone anyone to forgive her, bc she recognizes that even if she treated them like shit bc she herself felt like shit, that doesnt excuse it. and she recognizes that adora was right to leave, that adora is allowed to have other friends and leave if shes toxic to her. catra's story is about healing and apologizing for the people that you hurt.

catradora im general is about healing, i think. their friendship wasn't the most healthy at the horde yeah, they were incredibly codependent there, because they were living in a incredibly toxic environment, and didnt know How to be healthy- and their story is about how they had to grown apart for a while, go through their own rock bottoms and come out on the other side, to heal and learn how to cope with their ugly emotions and be their own ppl separately, before they could mend their friendship (and form a relationship). its weird to me seeing ppl say that she-ra encourages both not taking responsibility for your actions and being in toxic relationships because its literally the opposite of that. neither of them could be happy before they learned how to not be toxic.

(and i mean catradora is about 8372974837293 other things too, about accepting that you're gay and religious trauma and etc, i didnt even talk about adora's story, the healing part of it is just what im focusing on here). also something that i realized is that at season 5 their roles where kinda flipped, i think. adora kept getting worse and worse, refusing to get help, and pushing everyone away, while catra was trying to get better, literally begging adora to try to get better too, and then leaving when adora refused to do so even if it hurt the people around her (she was literally planning to sacrifice herself without caring about how much that would hurt the ppl who loved her yall. its because of all the abuse she suffered and her terrible mental health, yeah, but just like adora wasnt obligated to stay and be hurt by catra when she was hurting, catra wasnt obligated to stay with adora.) a lot of people also said it was rushed, but 1-honestly yall say that about almost every kids cartoon, thats just how cartoons are, unfortunately they have to focus on plot and stuff so theyre deemed Entertaining and 2-her redemption is not over? we just saw the beginning of it. one of the last scenes was her apologizing, the show knows she still has a long way to go. anyways this is all i can think to say so im done akfbwkr sorry this is so repetitive and also ended in a completely different direction than it started im not a writer and i made 99% of this up as i went

[chucklegigglechortlesnort]

Domestic Headcanons for the Obey Me! Demon Bros

bc these thoughts plague me and i need to get them out somehow-

Mammon sings in the shower

He thinks no one can hear him

however, everyone, in fact, is able to hear him

No one says anything though because his voice is actually amazing???

like duh they were all once angels, of course they’re all amazing singers

You definitely hear every one of them singing or humming a little tune every now and then

Beel has a super deep singing voice

that shit rumbles and it’s honestly hard not to be lulled by his voice

he sings belphie to sleep

they low key (but not really) fight over who gets to sit next to you for movie nights

mammon is always quick to use his “I’m her first man” excuse, but that get’s old really quick

Lucifer and Satan are hella condescending about it and absolutely roast him

“Mammon, I didn’t know MC mattered to you so much”

“N-NO! Why would I care about some dumb human?”

“Well, if you don’t care about MC then you wouldn’t mind if they sit by me tonight?”

“HEY WAIT-”

It’s too late, he’s talked himself into a corner

“Why does it have to be one of you? Let MC pick who they sit next to” - Levi, in a huffy tone

“Levi~ are you sure you not saying that because you want MC to yourself? Can’t say that I blame you, they’re just so nice to hold don’t you think?” - Asmo

Chaos ensues

Eventually Beel just calmly walks over to you, hoists you up from wherever you’re sitting and plops you on top of his lap, Belphie snoozing not too far away

He wakes up only to snuggle into your chest and then he’s out like a light

Beel loves to cook with you, but Satan makes a better cooking partner

Sorry Beel

He just ends up eating too much of the food

Satan is surprisingly lax in the kitchen, as long as you don’t get in his way too much

He’s definitely picky about how certain foods are prepared.

If you’re not chopping something to the right size, he’s quick to reach around you and guide your movements

does this subconsciously and doesn’t seem to understand the romantic implications of it

(he totally does, he just has an excellent poker face from thousands of years of practice)

rolls up the sleeves of his sweater to make sure they don’t get in the way of food prep

the sight itself is something to drool over, let alone the lovely aroma coming from the stove

Lucifer works really late into the night and sometimes forgets to sleep at all

I mean we all know this but more often than not he tries to get at least four hours of sleep a night but sometimes he just... forgets

so the mighty Avatar of Pride isn’t perfect after all hA

ok but bring him tea

He usually prefers to make it himself, but if you bring it to him in the middle of the night his heart melts, just a little

tells you to go tf to sleep but is actually really grateful

but as soon as you shut the door he has the s o f t e s t expression

It’s not often that he’s the one on the receiving end of care so it’s nice, even if your tea is a bit on the watery side

self care nights with Asmo

SELF. CARE. NIGHTS. WITH. ASMO.

Has literally every skincare product known to all three realms

but only the best of the best when it comes to the both of you

there’s a plethora of delicious but health conscious snacks to choose from, and some cheesy drama playing in the back ground that neither of you are paying attention to

Asmo loves giving you makeovers to get a rise out of his brothers

but he also loves the way you can’t stop looking at yourself in the mirror when he’s finished

Wants you to love yourself as much as he loves himself you

Levi swims in his fish tank when he’s upset

and just whenever he wants to in general really, but there’s something about being in water that makes him feel calm

...

Wants you to join him but he’s hella nervous about it

When he finally works up the nerve his face is beet red and he nearly runs away before you can answer

>is super confident when he’s in his element

He moves through the water so gracefully it’s hard not to fall into a trance watching him swim

notices you staring and it’s such a boost to his ego omf

definitely makes like he’s about to get out and when you reach out to help him he yanks your dumb ass in with him

your DDD is ruined and Lucifer is mad but in Levi’s mind it was all worth it, even if he got in trouble and is mildly embarrassed about it

Mammon is super receptive to affection when he’s tired

he fell asleep on you once when the both of you were hanging out in your room and woke up to the feeling of you running your hands through his hair

he’s so groggy he can’t find it in himself to muster up the tsundere act

he just nuzzles deeper into your hand

if Belphie finds you napping he is 10/10 times going to join you

You’re not “safe” napping alone anywhere that isn’t your room

he doesn’t want his brother’s disturbing you and he himself doesn’t want to disturb you

so he just cuddles up next to you

at first this was especially shocking, not only to you but to the brothers as well but it soon became such an often occurrence that everyone stopped questioning it

partly because Belphie would never answer any questions, opting to just nonchalantly shuffle away

honestly it happens so often and you’ve grown so used to it that it���s more of a shock when you wake up and he isn’t there

is oddly protective of you

has a sixth sense whenever you’re in danger and will straight up materialize to scare away the threat by looming over them with his intimidating aura

asmo does everyone’s nails

you think lucifer has the time to do his own nails??

or that beel would be able to concentrate long enough to finish his second hand with out wanting a snack??

or that belphie would waste hours he could spend napping waiting for nail polish to dry??

no

asmo takes it upon himself to do their nails for them

the only other person who does it themselves is Levi, who paints his nails while binging long running shonen anime that only requires a part of his attention

they use gel nail polish so it dries quicker and doesn’t chip as easily

you’ve never had a better nail salon experience than at Asmodeous’s at Home Beauty Parlor

He does the hand massage and everything, but only for you

He’s had millennia to practice his craft so if course you’ll be getting the best of the best with asmo

Satan is a closet weeb

now LISTEN- l i s t e n

he probably stumbled across one of levi‘s TSL collection and decided to investigate and was immediately enthralled by the plot and the amazing artwork they held

now he regularly checks out manga from the library and pre pre-orders new upcoming series that catch his eye

his favorited genre is romance, but he also gravitates to magical girl series

make no mistake tho, if you find out somehow, he will have to kill you

please give them affection, none of them are used to it and once you start being casually affectionate with them they’re hooked almost immediately

Obv some are less receptive at first than others - satan, belphie, luci - but that’s okay just give them time

Asmo and Beel are the most comfy with affection and are willing to initiate majority of the time

Asmo always has an arm linked with yours whenever he’s next to you, at the least. He likes to hug you from behind and rest his chin on your shoulder so he can nuzzle into your neck to tickle you

Beel will casually pick you up for hugs, and hold you in his arms to make you safe. he also likes to hold your hand just ‘cause

Levi and Mammon want in on the action once they see beel an asmo being so touchy with you, but are definitely in denial about it for like, a week before they give in and stop being so wussy about it

mammon likes to throw an arm around your shoulders just so others stay away, bc you’re HIS human ofc. also likes it when you play with his hair as previously stated.

Levi is a little more shy about it, but loves it when you link pinkies or choose to sit next to him at the dining table and link ankles with him. He’s also hella smug when you lean on him but is also a blushing mess.

Satan, Luci, and Belphie (for obvious reasons) take the longest to warm up to affection. Satan is the first of the three to warm up to it - he loves reading with you cuddled up beside him. not necessarily on him, but with your sides pressed together as you each read your own book or whatever it is you’re doing while he reads

belphie is next, before lucifer surprisingly. this is kinda when he starts joining you for naps and you’re kinda too scared to question it. also seeks you out to use your thighs as a pillow bc they’re the softest

Luci’s heart kinda melts when he sees you being so close with his brothers. His affection is typically head pats that are more him gently and barely combing his fingers through your hair and tucking it behind your ear

In short i love them all more than words
