still can't stop thinking about kara accidentally referring to hal as "dad", even in a more low-key context and how something that could usually be played for comedy is nothing sort of devastating.

maybe kara's having a bad day - the sort where her chest is tight with frustration, every little minor convenience makes her fingers twitch, the sort where the schoolwork and reminders of the ordinary life she has alongside her life as supergirl is smothering her, all the missed phone calls from the friends who only know her as linda danvers. she's snapped at people throughout the day, blurting out a tired little, "i'm sorry" when they frown or look at her in shock. every little reminder of when her ill temper leaks through the cracks is like a stab to the side. i should be doing better, she thinks to herself, everyone says it's okay, that i'm still only a kid. but i don't want to be just a kid. i turn sixteen in september.

she runs into hal and waits for him to say or do something - anything - that will make that horrid little knot of agitations that's formed in her chest tighten further. but he sees the sting of bitterness to her dark blue eyes, the way she's trying so hard to twitch her lips into a solemn but neutral expression. hal must know and keeps himself at arm's distance; they've both had their fair share of bad days aplenty. he only walks away after giving her a slight nod through the green of the mask he wears, leaving her be.

hal comes back a few minutes later with a small cardboard box of juice and hands it to her. apple juice - her favorite, no pineapple or fruit punch on the label to be found. just plain apple juice. she tears the straw off the back and pushes it through, taking a a sip. the rush of sugar is a balm, even if only a small one. the barest hint of a proper smile stirs upon her visage for the first time in a while today. after a few engrossed sips:

"thanks, dad."

her smile vanishes.

they both stare at each other with the depth of something fathomless - horror, maybe, or some sort of flooding, viscous mess of all sorts of feelings. she remembers for a moment the way her father back on krypton would wordlessly give her comfort on bad days - drape a blanket over her shoulders as she stared out at the openness of dark red sky before departing, ensure she had a small snack even as she sulked alone in her room. and hal...

well, kara remembers he only told her a little bit about his father. but that is enough for her to know.

she takes a deep breath, the smile on her face not quite so genuine this time - moreso some sort of crumpled, uncomfortable mimicry of the real expression. "sorry about that. it just sort of slipped out."

"it's fine. sometimes things like this happen."

"still..." the words coat her mouth, fuzzy under the apple juice she'd been drinking. "thank you for doing that. i've been having kind of a crappy day today, and it helped."

the sting from earlier still persists, hal's face settles into a fixed, solemn look. "no problem," he says. "i'm glad i could help, even just a little."

so i replayed dmc 2 (crazy, i know) for dantelucia content, and playing on lucia's side of the story is so crazy bc it's literally what dante has been going through throughout his whole life

when lucia found out she was a demon and that she could lose herself to that side of her it scares her to the point of wanting to die/to be killed, going as far as to tell dante and arius to kill her bc she doesnt want to hurt others which can be reflected with dante's own views of his demon heritage which is something he feels he couldnt control if he ever taps into it so he does rlly reckless things to cope with it

dante even secludes himself from people and forming relationships outside of trish and lady bc of the fear of hurting them. even with dante's very reckless behavior it can be seen as him self harming which says a lot about his mental health plus the fact that in dmc 2 hes carrying the weight of grief which makes it even worse as seen with him going to hell not even caring on how to get out of it

like both of these characters became reckless ppl when they find out that they have demonic powers and the fact they both cling to the their love for people/family says a lot about their characters

but heres the thing....what makes these two so good to see is the fact that dante comforted lucia and even validated her human idenity by telling her that "devils never cry" and i feel like this line truly stuck with dante bc of what Lady said to him when he cried (basically devils dont cry and u arent rlly a devil if u cried over a love one), its just 3 simple word and yet it holds so much meaning for dante and probably for lucia too which she probably needed at that moment showing how emotionally smart dante is...

dante and lucia's views on their demon heritage is such a good way for them to have a long talk with one another about their feelings and thoughts of being demons and how to control the urge and how protecting people is what makes them human but also feel like its their responsibility bc of their demon heritage....like i need capcom to write more of their relationship or maybe someone just writes it in a fanfic bc their dynamic has so much potential the parallels...the love they have.....it makes me go insane

kind of realized aiden is among other things my "what if alan wake was a woman" take

[shrips]

testing out a slightly different brush with some familiar and some new(ish) faces.

the man on the right is peripherally related to fitaly stuff though he doesnt really make an appearance in the main course of events. I have also forgotten his name lol. lucia was involved with him semi briefly when she was a teenager; he promised her marriage down the line in exchange for sexual favors. eventually word got around to her that he already had a wife and child at home (and that he had no intention of leaving them for lucia) which brought things to a rather devastating end for her.

lucia’s mother bartolomea is on the left. she is every bit as sneaky and sly and clever as lucia THINKS she is. she’s taken advantage of civil unrest to forge her own backstory, which even her own daughter parrots as the truth. they are extremely alike in their coloring and she probably resembled lucia fairly closely when she was younger.

Lady:

G-D I LOVE LADY SO MUCH OMG. I love her story in 3 and may I even say it's my favorite of the games. Too fucking bad Capcom won't do anything interesting with her again.

I also dislike how the fandom interprets her. I know Lady's on the hotheaded side, but the fans basically reduce her to "the woman who nags a lot", assuming she isn't already reduced to "jack-off material"

Now as for Lucia...

OMG LUCIA YOU DESERVE SO MUCH BETTER OH MY G-D. We could've had more insight into how Lucia's new life with Matier, or even have her interact with Trish and have them both bond over being demons created for someone else's bidding. TOO FUCKING BAD CAPCOM WON'T DO ANYTHING INTERESTING WITH HER AGAIN. OR EVEN JUST ANYTHING AT ALL.

Anyways, she easily has my favorite Devil Trigger form of all the characters. It's so simple yet so striking, between the black and white contrast of her feathers and scales to her icy blue magic.

unwisely decided to start on that hal & kara brotp fic when i already have 1238089308929832893 other projects to do

[ashendalia]

Had a dream last night that involved some time stuff and doing things to change the past and how that would affect the present and future

And like people were being erased because of some changes and it ended up sucking more than being helpful or anything

And then it somehow ended up with me finding out the person who started it all and then getting stuck in a time loop of killing them to try and stop it all, but that just kept starting over when the person was killed

And what was worse is they didn't even realize they were causing all of this time shit, so killing them each time was an awful ordeal too

[ridgystasis]

was enneagram-ing dmc characters for fun and basically the current list is something like this

dante: type 9

vergil: type 8

nero: type 6

lady: type 1 (not super confident on this one)

trish: type 4 or 6 (currently leaning towards 4 but i can see either, not really sure here too lol)

Who/What inspired my muses

I can’t believe I’m doing this oh it’s going to suck so much

Part 1 because it got long because I’m wordy

Veritas: In high school I was friends with two “the art kids”. I, meanwhile, was the bookworm/writer. We all thought it’d be fun to make a comic, them drawing and me writing the dialogue, so we all said we’d come up with characters from it. Mine ended up being an elf who wore long swishy skirts and fought with dual blades and one of them drew out the design for me. The comic, haha, never got far but when I got interested in doing Tumblr rp I looked at that initial oc idea and reworked it into Veritas. The only real remnants of that origin is, well, elf. And her two swords. But I mean, my interest in fleshing out my brand of elves led to what is what I actually consider a big part of my blog-- my elves. So a lot stemmed from that initial, silly and fun idea between three kids. I’m actually still best friends with one of those girls to this day!

Vendere: My second attempt at making a less morally pure muse after my real second-but-now-removed muse Tamashi ended up nice despite my wishes. I can’t say much of the thought process behind Ven other than his name being a continuation of a Latin theme I had started with Veritas and decided to keep going, which you will continue to see later on too. The only thing I can remember is choosing his name because it was the Latin verb for “to sell”, because info broker, and because I went, “Haha and I can call him V.en like in K.ingdom H.earts.” A lot of big brain ideas going on back when I was sixteen, of which I can’t even make jokes because I’ve done it again with muses fairly recently. In retrospect it makes no sense why his Italian parents would name him that but thus is my 16-year-old-idea oc burden to bear.

Jianhuren: My first muse who I added with the intent to have a bit of a storyline going! I also! Can’t remember why I got the idea for a form shifting person who  was an amnesiac. I’m fairly certain it was an idea that came straight out of my head. At the time, I hadn’t even intended to make a species of dragons, the Red Eyes from them. So it’s kind of why they may seem a bit different in feel or canon or themes or whatever from the other Red Eyes. We were winging it, baby!!

Somnio: Oh my gosh I can’t say I’ll do this and keep saying I don’t remember for these muses! I’m sorrrryyyy these were like a good six or so years ago! I think inspiration. I think maybe the feeling of days and friends gone/soon to be gone from Summertime Record inspired him regarding his feelings towards his dead friend? At the very least, I was listening to that song a lot when I added him and I was definitely thinking of him when I did it. The “Sayonara” part always really stuck out to me.

Amara: Me: What if I did a phoenix. Me: Oh, I see phoenixes in this sense have been pointed at from coming from either or both Greek and Egyptian myth let’s make both of those his background as a fun little easter egg. Me: what if I made a muse so tragic--

Qingshan: Here we see Red Eye lore starting to take more shape! Originally I had just said that Jianhuren was attacked by a monster or something, but I then had a thought of what if it were a betrayal and the monster story is just what was told? A lot of Qingshan’s vibes and the idea to do an evil or “bad” muse came from listening to Sacrifice from Rwby! Since I had just recently gotten into it. And I mean, the music rocks. Wait.....the lyrics never quite fit Qingshan at the time but now I’m realizing they fit Zhaohui well.... hm.

Ren: More desire to expand upon my elf lore that I had started with Veritas. And a desire to touch more on the trafficking issue that elves face. Then I just thought it’d be cool to give a muse the powerset of basically the Avatar-- with setbacks.

Kareena: You know me, I’m always going to look at a predominantly white-assumed category and go, “how can I make this more Brown(tm)? Elves are always so stereotypically white in the media I saw, and I’ve always had a desire to see myself represented in fantasy genres I love so much. Veritas was actually supposed to be brown, but she was my first oc and I couldn’t find a fc that fit what I imagined for her and had brown skin, I just changed it to match her fc. Now, I clearly don’t care, haha. Anyways, Kareena was me wanting to make a brown elf, and also a differently abled one too, and I settled on her being blind. I thought it’d be an interesting study since elves have heightened and stronger senses, and here was someone who was born without one. I will say, she wasn’t perfect representation at the time, since I unknowingly fell into a bad trap of “blind person uses super senses to get around anyways with no issue”, which is something I learned later that a lot of blind people don’t like to see in media about visually impaired people! The importance of doing research beforehand, kids. Especially if you’re writing of a culture, lifestyle, or experience you haven’t lived.

William/Thanatos: .......................ok.........I don’t...........remember, sorry. To explain a little, “Thanatos” actually existed on my blog as a man named William O’Connor! A man who had died but still lived on by some raw accidental deal made by his mom to some sort of death-like entity. I only remember that I was thinking on him back when I was in another state visiting by undergrad for like the first time? And Gen Con was going on and I had like just stuck my toe into C.ritical R.ole, but I don’t know if any of that actually influenced William. Anyways, I had no intention to actually ever state or clarify what “Death” was as I intended for It to just be some sort of amalgamation of different interpretations of Death. But later on I thought it’d open up for some more interesting opportunities if I put a name to the thing and had it able to interact and do a little more. Maybe a bit before Dawn came around, for reasons?

Lucia: I had mentioned in Ren’s backstory that he ran with a group of elves when he was a kid on the streets and I’d already established another, Aeon (who’s now a side muse) so I thought it’d be fun to pick out who their de facto leader was. And I thought it’d be funny if she seemed like the least intimidating-looking person ever, but absolutely was the leader of them all for good reason. I then picked up my “angsty backstory” hammer, and I then gave her a prompt solid whack with it.

Alexa: “Okay, so I touched on the elf trafficking, but what if I did what happened when one was successfully trafficked?” Et voila. 

Val: ‘Kristen, you just added Alexa, and sure you established she has a partner but you don’t need to full on add him as a muse-- oh no how did he get on my muse page.’ Alexa and Val are also meant to be foils in the way they deal with their servitude, with Alexa having given in and Val still being rebellious. Plus, I just love non-romantic soulmates. Mwah.

Imani: “I want a Black muse. An unambiguously Black muse. Make her an elf too while I’m at it.” I love sibling dynamics and I’m a sucker and wimp for older sibling dynamic stories too so that also came into play with her and her younger brother.

My gosh this is long, I’m doing a part 2 or something

[ultrakillingmyself]

I think it’s so funny that in the jrpwi industrial complex universe the riptide pirates just. communicate through tumblr

The Dating Game (EllaTooneyXAlessiaRussoXreader)

A/N:i got a Message asking If i could write lessixtooneyxreader so Here it is.

Warnings: Asthma, injury

Summary: you are in a relationship with a fellow lionesses and your two best friends make it their Mission to find out who it is.

You sit in the gaming room at Camp with Lessi & Tooney. Your two best friends. You and your girlfriend, who was also with you Guys decided to make it more fun and not tell anyone about your relationship. Tooney and Lessi knew you were in a relationship. But not who the other women was. It was kind of a game now. They really wanted to find out who it was and you really enjoyed them trying to figure it out.

"what position does she play?" Tooney asked. You looked up from your Phone.

"i am not telling you, Tooney. You and Less have to figure that out on your own!" You told her. Smirking softly.

"you are evil! does Lucy know?" Tooney stated.

"No my sister doesn't know who it is either! And i am not Evil! I just enjoy you playing Sherlock Holmes & Doctor Watson." You explained. Alessia sighed softly.

"i am making a list right now, trying to see which one of our teammates fits into your Dating grid." Alessia admitted.

"dating grid? Do i have a Type and don't know it?" You asked. Going through your ex girlfriends right now. You had three before your now girlfriend and in your mind the only thing they had in Common was you.

"you kind of do!" Alessia answered.

"please enlighten me?" You said gently.

"all of your exes were very quiet, always observing." Tooney stated.

"Not when we were alone though." You told them.

"also i had this Thing with Georgia we both didn't put a label on and we all know Georgia ain't quiet!" You added and chuckled softly.

Leah, Keira and Lucy walked in.

"okay what are the three of you talking about?" Your sister asked.

"y/n's Secret girlfriend!" Tooney stated.

"you are dating someone?!" Your sister was really surprised that she didn't knew this Information.

"yes i am, Lucia." You replied.

"and she is Part of this Team!" Alessia added.

"oh my god! We need to know who she is!" Leah said.

"i am not telling you Guys. But If you figure it out i will tell you! You can't just Go through all of the names though." You let them know.

"Just answer this question, is she Younger or older then you?" Keira asked.

"older." You replied. You are 25 now.

"older? Huh interesting!" Lucy stated. Looking at the list Alessia was currently writing.

"half of the Team is older then i am. So i don't see how that helps you!" You stated and giggled.

"well we can rule out, Leah, Keira and the two of you!" Lucy said and looked at your two best Friends.

" who knows? Maybe one of you is playing Games. Well Not Tooney cause she is Dating Joe but the rest of your friends...but i have said too much already." You replied and grinned softly. Enjoying these little mind Games. Now Leah, Keira and Alessia were looking at one another.

"damn she is good." Leah said softly. Thinking for a moment.

"let's think for a moment." Keira answered.

"she didn't want to tell us the Position her girlfriend plays! Probably because it would be too easy to figure Out then." Alessia stated.

In this very Moment Millie Bright & Mary walked in with Sarina.

"why are you all looking at Y/n?" Sarina wanted to know.

"y/n is Dating someone from the Squad." Leah announced.

"and we are trying to figure out who it is!" Tooney said.

"oh my god...i know who it is!" Lucy replied and stared at Mary who was avoiding looking at the group.

"you are dating Mary!" Alessia figured out as well.

"Bingo!" You answered and walked over to Mary. Pulling her in for a kiss. She couldn't help but smirk against your lips and kissed you back. Pulling you close.

"okay okay...that's enough." Lucy stated. "I am Happy for the two of you but keep it Family friendly for now!" Your sister answered and pulled you away from your girlfriend.

"we are Happy for you as well!" Alessia and Tooney replied at the same time. Giving you a hug. You hugged them back.

"well we for sure know that these two won't be sharing a room in the future either!" Leah stated in her Captain voice now.

"Like...that doesn't sound fair." You answered with a pout. Mary wrapped her arms around you from behind. Kissing your shoulder.

"it's okay my Love." She told you.

"we barely have time for one another. So i was hoping we have more time together now." You admitted. Leaning into her.

"you are so cute together. How disgusting." Lucy replied.

"Lucia you are the same with Ona!" You told her. Flipping Off your older sister.

You told the entire Team about your relationship and even managed to get in a little Date night the same day.

It was practice two days later when you gave your girlfriend, your sister, your best Friends and everyone else a scare.

You were standing on the field. Chatting with Grace when a ball suddenly hit your chest. You sucked in your breath and then breathed out weirdly which caused you to have an Asthma attack. You Fell to your knees, holding your chest with Grace yelling for the medics and Esme apologizing over and over cause she was the one kicking the ball too strongly so it hit you and was now freaked out.

Mary quickly raced over to you with your emergency inhaler. She always carried one with her. Just in case you needed it.

"Babe. Breath in and out slowly." She told you. Holding the inhaler in front of your mouth. You breathed in slowly. Leaning against Tooney for Support. Alessia gently rubbing your knee to help you calm down your breathing. Your wheezing became less and less audible.

It took 20 minutes until everything was back to normal for you. Apart from you being tired. Which was why Mary took you to your room and cuddled you so you could get some rest for a bit .
