#maybe they're still traumatized by the clown

[perilegs]

not an astarion defender in the traditional sense, but in the sense that the whims he gets approval from are funny. i would also approve of someone throwing shit at people who asked them to smear their face with said shit

Dc x Dp Random Blurp #1

I know I've got more than one before this but these are the ones I probably won't ever write so feel free to take them and run with em-

~~~~

So we all know Dick (you can probably all guess that Dick and Jason are my fav bat kids with how much I talk about them lmao) has lotta trauma in general. In the general canon we all follow for like fics and stuff though, there's one thing I think most people don't put into their fics and stuff and I had an idea with Danny being kinda adopted/brother-napped by Dick involving it.

The thing?

Falling.

Someone he loves falling and he's not able to help. Sure he's spooked his family as a joke pretending to fall off things. But here's the thing, they all KNOW that they'll all find a way to catch themselves.

But what if Dick had gotten a harsh hit from whatever rogue decided to play whack-a-mole with the birds and when he saw a kid on the roof where they were fighting (idk why they're up there, ask the riddler or two face or whoever-) and his already slightly concussed brain starts to work overtime.

The kid is on a roof, which is already a bad sign! The kid looks kinda...strike that a LOT like Jason before he died? Even worse!

So when whatever stray attack ends up sending the kid tumbling over the edge, Dick is literally milliseconds behind him. It's not a tall roof, and even if Danny was a full human, he likely wouldn't have suffered too badly from the fall if he didn't land completely wrong.

Probably.

Reason Danny isn't flying? Something triggered his fight or flight and his body chose to freeze this time, falling did not help that. Maybe it's the Joker doing all this, we love clown trauma.

Either way, Dick is oh so quickly grabbing this random kid who he can only register as Tiny Jason he had failed to be a good big brother tm too, and is literally just taking the impact of the fall in favor of ensuring Danny didn't get hurt AT ALL.

Danny is now emotionally attached whether he likes it or not because hey! A random hero saved him and is still hugging him and he feels like safety, so he will cling on just as hard, and no Jazz! He definitely isn't crying-

Dick refuses to let go of the kid, muttering apologies to Jason, which the others are pretty quick to realize why when they see the kid's face. It's a whole mess. Partially because they have a delirious Dick who won't let go of this random child and said child hisses at them when they try to get him off just as much.

For a lil extra spice you could make it that Danny and Jason are related somehow and Jason upon seeing the kid both KNOWS they're similar and recognizes him as his kid brother and is just like "Oh god- oh god he's alive(questionable) and traumatized(definitely)-"

Geto Suguru

ONE SHOT : NEEDED YOU

W: Kidnapping, kissing, slight stockholm, LIL yandere-ish, manipulation, crying, angst, fluff, slight ooc

Geto Suguru, one of your highschool best friend in jj tech. He was kind, soft hearted, quite the clown, and he's easily carried away by his own emotions ─ well that's what you observed.. your highschool days with him was fun until it was all torn apart. You cherished those days.

You and your classmates was caught up in a mission that heavily affected you and your friends, to the point the small group of four you guys have was torned. That mission was sickening, it was traumatic.

But despite that, you still tried to keep yourself together for them and for him. You knew Geto Suguro was the one who was more affected than you three. Gojo Satoru, one of your best friends, was also heavily affected of that mission, that's why you want to be sane for them. You don't wanna loose yourself since you're afraid they're gonna loose you too. (guess what song)

Years past after that you were still connected with your friends.. but was hold captive by one.

You didn't know how it happened, all you remembered was you were forced here by him. You were shocked with Suguru's behavior, but you let him. You couldn't say no to him, and he knew that and used that against you. You think he was overwhelmed with the trauma, maybe he was still hurting ─ and he needed you the most.

"I'm sorry, y/n. I'm sorry, i need you.. i need you to stay with me please."

That's what he said and the way he said it made you wanted to stay with him, even if it's wrong. You wonder how long did he hide this pain from you, maybe that last mission was his last straw.

"Sugu.." you whispered as you watched him break down infront of you, his head on you lap, he cried silently. You hate seeing him like this. You softly caress his long hair, trying you best to calm him down.

Oh, if only you could grab all of his pain then you would, it doesn't matter if you would be the one in pain.. as long as you see him happy you're okay with that.

"Y/n.." he grabbed your other hand placing it on his cheeks, you hummed in response. You caress his cheek as he leaned in your palm.

"Be with me, please." You stayed quiet and let him finish his sentence, he looked up to you, looking you in the eye. "You don't have to receprocate my pathetic feelings. Just stay here with me. Even if i may go crazy, i beg you."

You sigh, caressing his face wiping the tears away. "Sugu, I'm here right?" You said with a hushed tone.

"I'm here."

You lean down to his face pressing your forehead against his, "I'm here by your side right now, sugu.."

That's all he wanted to hear, he closed his eyes closing the gap between you two. The day he supposedly forced you to stay with him, you obliged to him with no difficulties maybe from the start you did resist although when you saw how empty he was you obliged right away. All he wanted to hear was the words that slipped past you lips, you were his everything, he couldn't bare to loose you now, even if he have left you years ago, he went back just to get you. It doesn't matter if it needed force to be with you, if you didn't comply to his request he would still hold you captive.

He leaned in deeper making you want to breath for air, noticing your hitch of breath he parted away from you, staring at you adoringly.

"I'm a bad guy, y/n.. but i wouldn't hurt you." He breath out, before pecking the side of your lips. "When i was away from you for years, i felt like i was suffocating.."

He was on the verge of crying again, it wasn't like him to be like this. "I feel like i couldn't breath when you're not by my side, i feel so empty. You always feel that gap between my heart, y/n."

You caress his cheeks placing a kiss on his eyelids to his cheeks, "I waited for you, sugu. Those years i have wondered whether you were doing good."

You peck his lips before pulling him into a hug, "I'm so glad you're here with me. Sugu, don't loose yourself please.. i would loose you too." You said with a shaky breath. Suguru was caught of gaurd by what you said but he complied.

"I'll try, but my goals wouldn't change y/n. I'll be better for you and achieve my goal."

You bit your lips, you knew you couldn't stop him from his bad doings although the response he gave you was enough. As long as he wouldn't loose himself, it's okay right?

You nodded at his answer, before pulling away from the hug. You looked at him leaning on the palm of your hand, you moved some hair that covered his face. You're currently contented with this. It felt so wrong yet it felt like it's meant to be like this.

But things like this comes to an end and you both know that, you gave him a soft smile before continuing caressing his head. You knew a day would come that might make you loose him, he knew that day would come... That day might come sooner than expected you'll be insane without him but for now ─ You'll stay with him until that day comes, you would be right by his side. You'll support him. You need him as much as he needs you.

“ I would love you forever, Y/n.

Let's be together even if it's a short time. ”

everyday once a year i will see it and do anything but pay respects to the man who had so many fucked up kids and traumatized every single one

[margridarnauds]

Ngl I always thought the discourse surrounding Ascended!Astarion was pretty boring. It's really a choice between encouraging his worst or his best instincts. Maybe him not being my favorite companion doesn't help (he's like. 3rd or 4th depending on my mood lol) and it's clear having him ascend is the Evil Option(tm), but also, sometimes I look at the discourse and just go: "Yeah. That dude is made of pixels whether you ascend him or have him stay a spawn. He can't hurt you. He's not real."

That's where I am, like. I was intrigued by Astarion in EA because I am, first and foremost, a vampirefucker and a villainfucker, then got annoyed with him in the full game, decided he wasn't for me, got bored, and jumped onto Devil Daddy and never looked back. I don't really care about him -- his arc is probably the best handled of any of the companions', but I don't really *care*. I remember there being some speculation in EA that there *wouldn't* be a Good Option, so I was surprised and happy that happened, then I got weary of the discourse and one side trying to prove that you're the actual devil if you support one ending over another, not helped by the fact that his story obviously appeals to abuse survivors who have a very personal stake in him + his arc and therefore tend to feel strongly about one ending VS another. (I have killed Astarion off in no fewer than two playthroughs, had sex with him in one, and am romancing him in another.)

Like, yes, Ascended is evil, yes, he's intended to be toxic and abusive, no, I don't really care, yes, it's fine to headcanon your Tav is in some kind of genuinely loving relationship with him (I'm a *Raphael* fan, I have no ground to stand on as far as "unrealistically affectionate morally black characters"), it literally doesn't matter, no the game isn't REALLY as smart as it thinks it is for only really "subverting expectations" with romances that primarily appeal to straight women (when straight men have had the lion's share of video game romances designed for them for DECADES), but it isn't worth the degree of discourse it gets either and I hear more bitching about A!A fans than I do actual A!A content. You're not traumatizing real abuse survivors by ascending him, keeping him as a Spawn, having sex with him, or staking him at your earliest opportunity, he's pixels. He's a fun little Ken doll that you can dress up in shiny armor and take with you on fun adventures and then put him in clown makeup when he says something racist or that furthers the cycle of abuse. The discourse gets very repetitive very quickly, with both sides repeating the same points ad nauseam, especially a year post-release, and I'd rather spend time talking about Devil Daddy or Drow Mommy. I even get tired of talking about how tired I am of Astarion, because there are other parts of the game I'm much more interested in with characters I'm much more invested in, and talking about how tired I am of him is still talking about him (not @ you, of course, since I obviously answered this and have a bit to say, just at the general way that Astarion still dominates fandom conversations even when they're negative).

[paradoxgavel]

just finished listening to the magnus protocol episode 10!

FUCCCCKKK DUDE

our first time seeing one of the oiar office workers encounter an actual monster! and UGH mr. bonzo's whole thing was so much fun, i loved the story and him showing up and the ambience and weird sound effects and music and just!!! ugh!!! i love an evil clown monster. see my obsession with nikola orsinov. hehe.

and again with the whole concept of nearly every statement having to do with something the statement-giver wanted/desired. nigel wanted to make people laugh. so in came mr. bonzo.

and dang. gwen is definitely in the shit now, lena has *been* in the shit for a while now, and it seems like whoever is giving lena orders, they're using monsters to order hits on people. which is fun!

and then sam and alice's adventure through the archives, and alice being this really intelligent, caring voice of reason trying to look out for sam and stop him from getting killed was so sweet. the whole thing about looking for closure being like trying to catch ghosts was nice. i love her character a lot. ;v;

and it was so nice getting to see sam finally open up about why he cares so much about the magnus institute. my guy went through something traumatizing, doesn't have any context for any of his few memories of it (which. between him and gerry, someone DEFINITELY tampered with the participants' memories) and i think he kinda blames himself. i think he feels like he doesn't know what went wrong, but feels like maybe it wouldn't have if he would have "done better" and been "chosen" for whatever happened. just judging by him wondering why he wasn't chosen and sounding so sad about it.

and then there's the archivist's office. i wonder if jon was the archivist in this universe still, or if it was someone else. either way, when i realized what they meant when alice asked who "archi" was, i literally gasped, slfkdlkj. and the fact that it was a tape recorder in the archivist's office listening to them.

and then the worm trails in the floor and all the bugs. woof. i remember, back in the magnus archives, there was something about jane prentiss's worms attempting a ritual down in the tunnels under the institute - arranging themselves in a big circle on the wall, like they were trying to make a portal or gateway or something. i can't help but wonder if maybe they really managed to do something. or maybe jane prentiss is just my literal worst nightmare i'm and reading too much into there being worms in the office again lksjdflsjf

or... maybe it being called [ERROR] has something to do with the .jmj error. maybe this is JMJ. and the beholding just decided to smush jon, martin, and jonah together in the transfer, into one entity.

all we know is that something was locked up down in the pit sam nearly fell into. it somehow managed to pick up the key sam dropped, unlock the door it was trapped behind... and now it's out.

so. i can't wait to meet our new friend. :)

[tcmmykinard]

Can I say something in regards to that person talking about Eddie not caring? Look I get it, Eddie is my favourite character. I would never complain if there was more Eddie, I always want more Eddie lol. But, and I'm pretty sure I'm wrong, BUT I think that was clearly a writing choice to not have more Eddie scenes. Because this opens up so many opportunities for a future episode and/or scene. Everyone had their moment with Buck, everyone but Eddie. Why? Because the writers are saving it. Because something is coming.

Allow me to put on my clown make up for this. Despite Eddie having gone through therapy and major growth, sometimes traumatic events, such as this, can cause a person to revert back to old ways. Eddie still wasn't "healed" just because he had one major breakdown, he still has a long way to go.

This is still Eddie, he isn't going to start openly sobbing in a hospital full of other people. He still won't cry in front of his son, he waited for the moment chris wasn't looking at him on purpose to cry. He held back his emotions in the opening scene while hugging his team, a sniffle and tear still came out but it was obvious he was trying NOT for that to happen.

I have no doubt in my mind we're gonna get a beautiful moment between Buck and Eddie discussing their traumas from the accident. Maybe it'll be brought on by another accident, for example the trapped episode. Idk for sure, but I'm positive a moment between them is coming. That's why they're saving it because it's gonna be a beautiful scene, Eddie is gonna cry and open up to Buck, and every emotion he felt from the moment that lightning bolt struck to the moment he woke up is gonna come flooding out like it did last season.

yeah i definitely agree with what you are saying here.

i find it so weird that people always do this - especially at the beginning of the second half of the seasons - where they flip out that things aren't going THEIR WAY RIGHT NOW when it's only 2 eps into 6b aka halfway through the season.. we still have a whole half to go that may be full of chances for us to see buck and eddie interacting after all that happened.. and honestly saying that it's clear that eddie doesn't care and that he ignored buck while he was in a coma is so wrong on so many levels for eddie.. that man put buck in his will because he cares so much, he loves buck whether you see it as romantic or platonic.. it doesn't matter. that's just how it is and to say that he clearly doesn't care? idgi. he's never been one to express his emotions super strongly anyway whenever he's upset and definitely not around people but they've written into the reasons why and his healing process so people that are saying that crap just don't pay attention and clearly don't care to look deeper into the thought that is put into these scenes, the writing and most importantly the characters.

ROTTMNT DONATELLO X MY Female OC - CHAPTER 1 : THE MEETING

The story takes place after Krang's defeat. All characters are adults.

Warning : harsh talk ; a little long story (but I hope you will like it !) ; Donnie and OC are idiots ; Probably english errors (sorry for that !):-)

The smell is awful. After days of rain, the sewers overflowed and greenish waves were stirring miasma and wastes in perdition. Four hooded humans are soaking in this humidity.

“Serioulsy, guys ! Remind me why we have to walk in this pigsty ?”

“Because we have to stay discreet.” Responds the leader.

“We are the sewers' shadows…” Whistles an other one.

“Oh, shut up !” Yells the first one, jostling the clown.

They're starting a fight. The leader was about to step in when the fourth is suddenly stopping :

“Did you hear that ?”

“It must be rats.” Says the leader.

“Ouh~! Are you scared of rats ?” Smiles the clown to the lookout.

“Stupid ! I'm sure there is something is this direction !”

They only find an empty chamber where waters converge to the main flowing. Wastes, smelling water, in conclusion nothing off ordinary.

“Enough now. We have some work waiting for us.” Says the leader.

“I'm sure I heard strange noises near here.” Insistes the lookout “If we follow this road a little more, I'm sure we will find…”

“I'm the foreman so you follow my orders ! And I said : enough !”

“Maybe you are the foreman, but I only serve the gang's commander. If there is something here, so I have to ensure greater safety for the gang ! The threats have to be eradicate ! Do what you want, I'm going…”

He doesn't have time to finish his sentence, a violent hit is knoking him out ! His collegues hear laughs and echo around them. Evil and furtive shadows are surrounding them. Fear is growning second by second. Then an giant appears right before them ! They take to their heels and vanish with long and pitiful screams.

Raphael, Leonardo, Donatello and Michelangelo are very proud of themselves :

“What a bunch of prats !” Says Leonardo, his sword on his shoulder “We didn't even need to fight !”

“That's really disappointing.” Sighs Donatello “I was so excited to test my new deterrents.”

“I think it's better this way.” Admits Raphael, a little worried.

“In any case, you Raph were amazing !” Applauses Michelangelo, happily jumping on his brother's back “Did you see their face ? They looked like they'll piss on themselves !”

“Eeeh, guys ?” Calls Leonardo, standing back “What are we doing with this one ?”

The headstrong lookout is still here, inconscious.

“I can't believe it ! They just left their friend behind !” Says Michelangelo, surprised.

“Let's just let him a bit further on.” Suggests Leonardo “He will leave by himself when he will wake up.”

“I'm on it.” Says Raphael.

Raphael didn't touch him yet than suddenly the lookout opens his eyes ! The four brothers jumps backwards, before Raphael tries to take care of the situation :

“Don't worry, I won't hurt you if you don't move.”

In response, the lookout hits his chin with a big trick and tries to escape, but Michelangelo blocks his foot with his nunchakus and makes him fell. The lookout is growling as he tries to free himself.

Pissed, Raphael takes his right arm and raises him :

“That's enough ! Calm yourself or I'll knock you out !”

They hear a strange noise. The next second, the lookout is on the ground, his arm in Raphael's hand !

“You teared his arm off !!” Yells Leonardo, terrified.

“I teared his arm off !!” Panics Raphael.

“Why did you tear his arm off ?!” Asks deseperalty Michelangelo.

“I didn't do it on purpose ! I swear I didn't do it on purpose !”

While his brothers are panicking, Donatello turns around and sees the lookout stands up again !

“Give me back my arm, you morons !”

He rushes headlong towards Raphael ! Still traumatized by the losing arm, the red turtle could do nothing but screams like a little girl.

Leonardo opens a portail and makes the lookout come trought the Donatello's side :

“Are you serious, Leo ?!”

Leonardo makes a silly smile.

While Donatello is dealing with the lookout, Raphael finally notices that he doesn't seem bothered by his injury. Beside, there was no blood.

He removes the sleeve : a prosthetic !

Finally Michelangelo traps again his opponent with his chains :

“Lie down !”

The lookout still tosses and turns.

“This guy is completely wild !” Says Leonardo who doesn't find it funny anymore “What can we do with him ? Knocking him out again ?”

“First, let's see the one we have to deal with.”

Raphael takes his hood off. Long red hairs are falling on the shoulders, two green eyes are opening, delicate features… and female face !

“A girl ?!” Say the brothers with surprise.

“A pretty girl !” Michelangelo points out immediatly.

He want to be a gentleman and to remove her hairs from her face but she tries to bite him !

“She's pretty but not very nice !” Michelangelo conclues, keeping his fingers together.

“So, same question : what do you do with her now ?” Asks Leonardo again.

“I really don't know.” Answers Raphael, scratching his head “Donnie, an idea ?”

Donatello was inspecting the prosthetic with an annoying look and his telescopic glasses on his nose :

“All I have to say is that the guy who built this thing is a true good-of-nothing. The structure is a mess and the balance is completly…”

“Give my arm back, you halfwit !” Howls the girl with rage.

“Who exactly is the halfwit, lame person ?!”

“You are the lame person ! Brain lame ! You don't know anything about science !”

“Ah ! I don't know anything about science ? I will make you eat your words !”

Donatello was ready to finish her off with his tech-ô, fortunitly his brothers stopped him immediatly.

Tied up and emprisonned in a cage, her anger didn't calm down, as Donatello's grudge. He isolated himself in his lab the minute he came back home.

Raphael, Leonardo and Michalengelo stay with Splinter and the girl in the living room.

“If I judge by her clothes, she must be a member of a suspecting group.” Assume Splinter.

Raphael leanes on the cage :

“Tell us where are you from and we'll let you go in one piece.”

“I have nothing to say to a tadpole face.”

Raphael straightens up, covering the cage with his big shadow. The girl glups when she sees his canine emerges with his growls.

He leaves, followed by Michelangelo. When they are far enough, Michelangelo gives a big hug to his brother : the poor boy never wishes to hurt a helpless girl !

Leonardo takes the lead :

“Listen, I really don't want my brother to hurt you. Don't you think it would be the best for you to tell us everything ?”

“Well, I think it's the best for your brother to let me go.”

“This girl really packs a punch !” Smiles Splinter “Let's go, we'll come back later.”

They're leaving. Leonardo isn't convinced by his father's move :

“Are you sure it's the best decision ? She will not change her mind just being alone.”

“Maybe, but we don't have any other solution for now. She doesn't want to speak and I don't want to torture her. We have to be patient and let time making his work.”

Souper times. Michelangelo pays a visit to the girl with a slice of pizza in a plate and a big smile :

“Here you go, you have to eat too !”

The girl seems disgusted and suspecting something :

“I don't want to die empoisonned, thank you.”

“Don't give me ideas !” They heard at the kitchen.

It was Donatello. The girl answers immediately :

“I agree with you, let's not take the risk to make you intelligent !”

A roar of fury rings out the kitchen, with lower voices of Leonardo et Raphael who try to calm down their brother.

“Don't tell me you will waste this delicious pizza without taking a piece ?” Tries again Michelangelo.

The girl's eyes are looking at Michelangelo's angel face and the mouthwatering pizza many times before her stomach rumbles and forces her to give in.

She's dragging herself to Michelangelo and opening her mouth. Michelangelo, fond of this cute face of her, is giving her pizza with pleasure. The mouth is closing on the sweet warm cheese and the next second, her face is lighting up, showing all the love she feels for this delicious flavor.

“It looks like you never eat pizza !” Smiles Michelangelo.

The girl was dropped her guard. Because of a pizza ! She returns to a rude face.

“What's your name ?” Asks the orange turtle, after giving her a new piece of food.

The girl's eyes shows her hesitation to answer, her cheeks full of pizza. She's so funny with her strong face and childish attitude.

“Tocq.” She finally answers.

“Tocq ? Funny name ! I'm Michelangelo. You can call me Mikey.”

Three heads go out the kitchen to watch them.

“Seems Michelangelo is going great with her.” Notices Raphael.

“Yeah, it's kind of cute.” Admits Leonardo, not sure to use the appropriate word.

“Cute ? Ha ! A slug would be cuter than this girl !” Says harshly Donatello.

Hopefully none Tocq or Michelangelo heard this rude words.

Moving closer to a next slice of pizza, Tocq looses her balance and falls ! Michelangelo caught her just in time :

“It would be easier without the ties, isn't it ?” He smiles.

His smiles faded with the feeling of the stumpf on his hand.

“What happened to your arm ?”

“A stupid accident. A towing cable came off and cut off my arm. It was so fast that I didn't even have the time to understand what happened to me. My uncle built my prosthetic. He's the only one to worried about me when I lost my arm. He's not a professionnal but he did his best when nobody paied attention to me.”

“No wonder you are so attached to it.” Says Michelangelo.

Tocq nods.

Splinter, Raphael et Leonardo are very touched by her story. In the other way, Donatello doesn't seem affected.

“Dang ! I dropped the pizza when I caught you.” Apologizes Michelangelo “Just wait a minute, I'll come back with another one.”

Something fly near his head : it was Sheldon ! The little robot came with a new plate :

“Express delivery !”

“Thanks, Sheldon ! You're the boss !”

Michelangelo would submit a mouthful to Tocq but she isn't paying attention to him anymore : she only has eyes for Sheldon. She is fascined, eyes full of stars :

“Wow ! So cool ! Is it a robot ? A real robot ?”

“Yes, his name is Sheldon. Donatello made him.”

“Hello !” Says the little robot.

“Awesome ! I love it ! He's so great !”

Her smile was big and brilliant, she complimentes him again and again. Sheldon happily flying around.

“She seems fond of Sheldon.” Notices Leonardo, still at the kitchen.

“Are you kidding me ?” Objects Raphael “It's not being fond, it's litteraly adoration !”

“Sheldon seems very happy to have a new friend.” Smiles tenderly Splinter.

Suddenly Donatello hits his fists on the table, putting an end on this nice atmosphere. He leaves the kitchen, ignoring the surprised's gazes of his brothers and father.

When he's passing near Michelangelo, his angry glare meets Tocq's. The girl avoides his eyes by pride. He goes straight to his lab and disapears.

“Oh, I don't like that. He looked furious.”

End of the chapter 1

[alynnl]

TGAAC Case 2-2 finished!

And like many flashback cases of Ace Attorney, it was actually more complex than it appeared. It also delivered quite the emotional punch.

At first I thought it was silly that Soseki Natsume was Ryunosuke's client again, and I wrote this case off as a one-off filler. But then as I got deeper into the case and started collecting all the facts, it spelled out a greater tragedy for for the characters involved. In the end it's Shamspeare who's mostly responsible for all the tragedy of course.

But Olive Green made her mistakes too. She wasn't being blackmailed into staying quiet. She could have gone to Scotland Yard or even Sholmes to talk about the suspicious death of her fiance, but she chose to take the law into her own hands instead. I understand her motives but at the same time, she still did some attempted murder.

And poor Soseki. He was literally caught in the middle. When he wasn't nearly being poisoned by gas, he stood accused of murder again. All by the same clown-like actor.

This goes to show that you really can't trust people in the performing arts in Ace Attorney. They are almost always up to something shady (Unless they are a pure cinnamon roll like Will Powers, or a salty cinnamon bun like John Marsh from Investigations 2.) Maybe there's a reason a lot of Ace Attorney culprits are performers of some kind? They use their acting/stage skills to appear innocent? Am I onto something here?

But the actual culprits aren't the only suspicious ones here.

Herlock Sholmes is mostly a good person from what I've seen so far, but he's been very cagey when it comes to one (maybe two?) of his cases. There's been at least two incidents where he tells Iris not to write stories based off them. Whether they're two cases, or two events related to the same case remains to be seen...

But Sholmes's secrecy kind of has me doubting him.

If he's a Villain All Along I will absolutely raise Hell.

If he's morally dubious for a "good reason" (like Phoenix in his "Beanix" era of AA4) I will be quite ambivalent about him.

But if he's traumatized by a case where he failed (the culprit escaped, his client died, and he blames himself,) I'll be way more sympathetic.

There are so many directions that Sholmes and his writing can go, and I'll have to wait and see what happens.

The same can apply to Barok Van Zieks. It's still hard to put together just what happened in his past, and why he starts off as being a smug, arrogant Brit who always seems to side with the truth at the very end of every case. I guess he has his own moral compass, however strangely it may be pointed.

Case 2-3 will be next when I pick the game up again.

The Clear Sight of a Blind Lady

R E F L E C T I O N

Do not ever mistake me for a fool, your backhanded compliments are well-received but disregarded. Oppress your resentment, and you shall receive a politely served silent treatment. There is no need to act like a clown performing in a circus, if you're that desperate for attention then go block the streets and have a bus filled with dumb children to run you over. Maybe this time, playing the victim would actually convince people. Before you react negatively to this post, allow me to clarify this once and for all. No, this is not about you. However, if I did hit a nerve, please go to the nearest hospital immediately and demand to be prescribed anaesthesia to ease the pain of an intentionally stabbed wound. Another option would be to lie to yourself, use passive aggression, and create imaginary arguments in your head while staring at the window for several hours as if you're the main character with an incredibly traumatic past.

During the years of oxygen consumption, the compilation of data from experiences formulated a conclusion. Ignoring the elephant in the room does not make YOU the bigger person. It only makes things worse. And by that, I mean, it only makes your resentment worse because you thought you were undergoing an intense villain arc when in all actuality, you're not. Those people are stuck in the loop of hell where they are so convinced that their beliefs are righteous and justified, despite multiple signs of inherent subjectivity. They labelled close ties to be selfish after a trivial disagreement, as they claim themselves to be the so-called "open-minded" individuals who follow ONLY the ethical rules of life. That mindset itself is ironic; they're basically calling the world flat but simultaneously, they frown upon those who are humiliated for being in the same dark side of stupidity.

Once again referring to that random elephant who is currently banging its head against the floral-decorated wall, allow me to elaborate. You can still see the elephant, it did not just magically disappear after stealing the bike from your garage. For this upcoming statement, I would like to NOT apologise in advance for certain people's entitlement and inability to accept the fact that they are not always right. Therefore, if an acquaintance of mine wishes to separate themselves from my life, then they are more welcome to do so. Pride is often useful if it is to protect the values of oneself. The moment a blunder of mine was revealed, I tend to adjust my actions to prevent any further harm in the future and I also try my best to acknowledge the wisdom in failure.

Unfortunately, not everyone has the same principles as mine. Too much pride and vanity will cause more damage than the shifting of perspectives. Either way, do not mistake my kindness for weakness. Although I'm willing to understand your situation and compromise, I will not ALLOW you to disrespect me. If our relationship is lasting merely for the reason that I'm agreeable and you reap the fruitful harvest, then our relationship is fragile and it was already meant to be broken from the start.

If you identify one of my mistakes as an envious action of betrayal to pull you down, then let go of me. Let's be honest, if that's how shallow your mindset is, then none of your relationships will last.

If you view yourself to be superior to others for your diligence and some positive traits from past achievements, have you tried looking into the mirror to check how inflated your ego truly is?

If you accuse me of someone who is verbally abusive and toxic for learning how to stand up for myself, isn't it "a tad bit" hypocritical since you are willing to do much worse to me just to cross my boundaries? You went so far as to get mad at me for saying "No" when it's my right to decline something I do not want. You can't even accept it, do you? No worries, I get it. We're not as self-aware and "amazing" as we thought. And sorry to burst your bubble, but you should seriously stop living in that victimhood mentality. Like no cap, that sucks. Want my reflection? Here it is. My reflection is a reflection of another person.

i absolutely love neurotypical mental health care /s

apart from the fact my own therapist doesnt believe im neurodivergent (im literally being diagnosed, i suspected for years) bc apparently im too traumatized to know whether its autism or not but also it cant be autism cuz i crave ppl and physical contact. what kind of clownery.

and also like the focus on feelings. i need to have like a few hours to process everything until im able to tell you what i felt and some more hours to maybe understand what happened. and the work with feelings is not the same. my feelings are inherently connected to how i process the world, to my autism. the intensity too.

im realizing now i cant tell her any of this bc she simply will not like it or take it. and i cant tell her abt the strong, strong, strong emotions im feeling bc she will not understand that i know myself. i know my reality. and i know when i say sth seemingly dramatic that its still, still true to me

so i wind up telling my clown friends abt it who already have too much on their plates and they're just so nice and understanding but they're not a therapist. they're not supposed to listen to me cry and be miserable every day

just move on doesnt work. let the feelings flow does not work. its so intense it causes physical pain and i cant function. so i wonder how ill get it out if my system with cbt. /s and i wont. it's not a possibility. it wont be a possibility.

There has been a murder!

Of my heart!

And maybe the villain too! 

But back to my heart. 

Was it Time Hopper? On the boat? With the pistol? 

Was it Villain? Under the sky? With an illusion? 

Or was it the writer @silver-ink-iron-words? On Tumblr?With a keyboard?

It's up to me, as the reader, to request a continuation for when they're okay with writing it. 

Will we find the murderer? Will they escape? Or will they strike again? 

Let's hope we find out!

Thank you for tuning in for another installment of:

Request for a continuation of Clowning Around

Sorry @feline17ff for murdering your heart lol. I'm not sure if this snippet will revive it or not. Tbh it could go either way

Also, apologies for the snippet being as long as it is. I considered cutting it, but ultimately decided not to

Enjoy, and thank you for the request :)

CW - verbal abuse

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7

Clowning Around, Part 8

The last the hero remembered, they were falling.

A loud cracked had sounded, and they felt the crow’s nest tilt beneath them. They’d struggled against their ties, but it was useless. When the mast finally snapped, and they plummeted, they could do nothing but close their eyes and scream.

When they opened their eyes again, they were staring up at a white plaster ceiling.

They slowly rose into a sitting position, cringing at the beginnings of a headache.

They were . . .

What the hell? They were in their childhood bedroom, seated on the fuzzy carpet.

The walls were a pleasant mint green, dotted sporadically with little painted ducks. A short bookshelf stood against the far wall, packed full with the likes of Dr. Seuss and Paddington Bear. A plastic bin was piled high with stuffed animals – bears and dinosaurs and dogs.

A crib sat in the corner of the room.

Easing carefully upwards, the hero walked over to it, and looked inside.

Unless they were misremembering their own baby photos . . .

What the hell?

Not wanting to stay in the same room as their weird baby doppelganger, they hurried to the door.

They opened it, and halted.

Instead of seeing the hallway that had been outside their bedroom their entire life, the hero peered out at an empty circus arena.

They tried to turn back, but found that the door and bedroom behind them had disappeared. They glanced down, and saw that they’d somehow shifted into a sparkly dancer’s outfit.

Were they dead? Was this hell?

“Glad to see you’re alright,” a familiar voice said.

The hero whipped around. Their eyes went wide.

“[Villain].”

The villain lounged on the wooden bleachers in their old ringmaster getup, a calm expression on their face. The area just under their ribs was splotched with blood.

“I . . . [Villain]. Where are we? Are you okay?”

The villain looked around at the arena before them. It seemed impossibly large, and deathly still, without the active performers and cheering crowds.

“We’re in . . . how would you describe it? I guess it’s sort of an in-between space. Between dimensions, that is. Except it’s technically not a space at all. There’s nothing actually here. Anything you see is just the contents of our own minds.” They offered a weary grin. “If you have any skeletons in your closet, they’re liable to make an appearance here.”

“So . . . what I saw before . . . ?”

“A memory, most likely. I hope it wasn’t a traumatic one.”

The hero shook their head.

“That’s good.” The villain shifted their weight, an the hero realized they were still injured. “I tried to get us to an actual dimension, I swear. But, well, I wasn’t exactly operating at full capacity.”

“That’s fine,” the hero said, their tone growing nervous. “Just get us out now.”

The villain tossed their head back and stared up at the cavernous circus tent. “Would if I could, matey. But since this isn’t actually one of my worlds, I don’t have powers here.”

The hero’s heart dropped. They’d been afraid that the villain was going to say something like that. “So, what? We’re stuck here forever?”

“Ah, a little pocket portal will open on its own eventually. But it could take a while. Last time I got stuck in one of these things, I was trapped for months.” They glanced to the hero. “At least this time, there’s someone here with me.”

“Hold on, months? How’d you not starve to death?”

The villain shrugged. “I seem to enter a sort of stasis when I’m here. Eating, sleeping, drinking – no need for it. It’s probably why I’m not bleeding out right now.” They peeked down at their wound. “My theory is that while we’re here, we’re technically not real either.”

“That makes no sense.”

“Welcome to my world.”

The hero stepped forward, and settled on the bleachers next to the villain. It was weird to hear them talk without putting on some kind of persona. It felt as though the hero was speaking to someone entirely new.

“That was a dick move, by the way,” the hero said. “Tying me to the mast like that. I guess it's kinda dumb to care about that now, but I need it to be said. Thanks to you, I wasn’t able to defend myself, when everything went to shit.”

“I’m sorry.” The villain didn’t meet their eyes. “Believe it or not, I was trying to protect you. You were seconds from throwing yourself in the middle of a wild sword fight, and . . . let’s just say I wasn’t ready to see how that one was going to end.”

“Most of the things you’ve been doing over the past several weeks have been dick moves.”

“Yeah. I guess I can’t argue with that.”

“Then why would you – ”

The hero stopped, as the setting around them started to change. The vibrant colors of the arena faded away to a drab little bedroom, with gray cracked walls and worn floorboards.

“What’s going on?” the hero asked.

“Ah man.” The villain covered their face with their hands. “Do you think you’d be able to not see this one?”

A child ran into the room, wearing a cowboy hat. Judging by the hair type, and the familiar shape of the eyes . . .

“[Villain], is that you?”

The villain said nothing.

“Hands up, partner!” the kid yelled. They twirled around, waving their little plastic pistol in the air. When they lost their balance, and toppled, a portal opened in the floor to catch them. Another portal opened on the wall, and they dropped down. Giggling riotously, they launched themself back and forth through the portals several more times.

“Heh,” the hero said. “You were kinda cute. Look, you even – ”

“[Villain]!” a voice shouted.

The child villain froze, and the adult villain flinched.

All of the child’s portals vanished.

“[Villain], shut the fuck up! I just finished a ten-hour shift! Do you know what that means?”

“Ma, I – ”

“Shut up! You’re always so ungrateful. God, I have such a headache. You’re literally giving Mommy a headache.”

The child sat down, and went quiet. They pulled their legs in, and looked as though they wanted to be the smallest thing in the world.

The hero let out a breath. “[Villain], I – ”

The memory misted away, shifted. The hero saw a teenage villain, sitting alone on the school grounds. The other students walked past them, ignoring them.

The young villain stayed there, their face empty and expressionless. They weren’t using their power, or talking with friends, or . . . playing.

How many years had it been since the villain was allowed to play?

A few more memories danced by, but it was much of the same. The villain alone. The villain hiding their powers. The villain pretending to be asleep whenever their mother passed by their room.

When the last of the memories had faded away, the two of them were left in a grassy field.

The villain hugged their arms, and looked away from the hero’s face. “I’m sorry you had to see that.”

The hero peered out at the grass gently swaying in the breeze. “[Villain], you’re a selfish, inconsiderate, oftentimes downright dangerous person.” They let out a sigh, and something in them loosened. “But you didn’t deserve that.”

The villain sniffed, and nodded.

“Have you ever tried making friends without, you know, blackmailing or kidnapping them?”

The villain chuckled. “Of course, [Hero]. Never really worked out though, as you can see.”

The hero kicked at the dirt. They were crazy for saying this. Fucking crazy. But . . .

“Well, we’re both going to be stuck here for . . . who knows how long. Neither of us with powers, neither of us having any control over the other.” They cracked a small grin. “Might be a good time to give it another go.”

The villain’s attention snapped up to them.

And then they returned the hero’s grin. “Aye aye, Captain.”

Part 9

[poisonousquinzel]

I was skimming the newly released DC comic issues for any & all Harley bits and

is

is that

The Joker (2021-) #15 | Batman: Harley Quinn (1999)

that's a panel from her second retold origin comic?? The one that takes place in the No Man's Land arc. Like right dab in the middle of it. (I've actually got a post I started writing about that arc - like 3 others just last night so I won't rant abt it here skdjsks)

Like the one where Ivy meets her in this condition rather than in the midst of a heist

I'm curious if we're suppose to assume that all the events that happened in terms of their relationship (her and clown boy), aside from the Major DC Over Arching Plot Points that involve other characters, did in fact happen.

Because this is now the second panel directly referenced from one of her Origin comics that's been shown in the Rebirth timeline.

And again, I do view Harley's arc as one full arc with tweaks and alternations here and there as times have progressed, but that's just been a personal Dealing With Being In A Comic Fandom & Reading Comics Preference skdjsks

But this is making me ?!?!?

Cause like, obviously down to the Origin itself, there's three different ones between these (Mad Love, Batman: Harley Quinn, Rebirth Timeline), but the Rebirth Timeline has referenced events, specifically moments with Joker, his manipulation and abuse, from both those previous "discarded" origins.

In her Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti ongoing run, they have panels that are unmistakable ringers for the confrontation at the end of the Mad Love comic when he knocks her out of the window. Down to the prop fish he uses. They wouldn't have added that if it wasn't supposed to be referencing that one specific thing. It's too on the nose for it.

And now this one.

These are moments that don't make sense without the context and build up of the rest of the comic, or at least the rest of the context in terms of their relationship in said comic.

Long winded way to say that I now fully believe that not only is the Mad Love ending canon to the Rebirth timeline, but that at some point during their relationship the Rocket Incident also occurred.

That these moments, those Big Traumatic Events, were scooped out root and stem and maybe they're not exactly where they were timeline wise, and maybe some parts here and there are (& will be altered), they still happened.

He still did that stuff to her.

Classic Harley existed for a long while in that universe before the Rebirth Timeline called to action and they're giving us glimpses and conformations of events from lost unseen years.

Magnus heart surgery inspo?

say no more. Read this.

So sometimes I read stories where Magus had heart surgery/transplant and stuff and I'm not saying what you're writing is bad or whatever. Butttt, as a person who has had heart surgery I can give my two cents here and help inspire a very very small fandom uwu

Btw i'm a woman and I had heart surgery when I was super young! So it's probably not going to be accurate to the biology of an angry old man haha

cw for medical stuff.

depending on how good is your surgeon, is how well your scar is going to heal. (also how well you naturally scar)

like not all scars are super bumpy and red and intense. But there are surgeons/nurses/staff (whomever I guess, they're more than one person in the surgery room with you) who are more careful with their stitch work / cutting.

like my scar is 10+ years old but ever since I was young it wasn't super noticeable bc these people did a surprisingly good job.

You have metal wires holding your bones together.

they have to cut the sternum open to get to your heart and stuff, so to close it up they loop wires into both sides. It looks sort of like a shoe lace in x-rays.

depending on your age is depending on how many wires you're gonna have (I think?)

You can't do a lot of physical work after the surgery. Maybe like 10 months to a year.

I remember I couldn't play at recess lol. I did anyways (bc I would sneak out. (could have fucking died bro.))

the scar can itch.

the scar can be sensitive too. it can burn.

Protecting your scar from the sun people! Magnus would wear a shirt to the beach for the first year or so of his surgery.

pressing down on your scar area doesn't feel that great either. My mom threw an apple at me the other day and I caught it on my chest and I needed a moment.

It's not pain. but it's not fun...

You can remember the pain. No matter how out of it on drugs you were, if you think back on it you can remember the pressure/pain of the wires and stuff.

maybe it's more of a mental thing, or my brain just blocks the feeling of them idk.

you get a tube inserted into you as a drain right after the surgery. For me it was inserted through my belly button, for adults it's around the lower sternum area. (Magnus would have a scar on the lower sternum area.)

the tube goes all the way inside of you and lays directly under your heart/where they operated on. It looks like a transparent hose

They take the hose out while you're awake.

straight up without warning, a nurse will walk up to you, and they will pull it out like a clown with those weird infinity handkerchiefs.

I'm sure I was on some pain medication (going in and out of consciousness) but uh,,,I remember feeling every inch of that hose being pulled out guys. It felt like something moving from chest out my stomach.

I didn't get stitches either. She just smacked an extra sticky band-aid on that bad boy and she left. I wasn't traumatizing btw, it was just a very weird experience.

you have to take care of your stitches! they can get infected! and the scar can look darker/bigger on the infected stitches!

needles. needles in your arm, hand, everywhere. I had one in my back at some point (that one had like teeth or something? It felt like a zipper when they pulled it out of me and when I looked back it was like a blue zipper thing).

Cardiologist appointments every year.

Cardiologist also kind of suck, bc the waiting room is always packed with super old people and they look at you weird bc you wear ripped jeans. Imagine Magnus just being starred down by a grandma bc of his hair.

echocardiograms. They suck.

It's a sonogram of the heart. They are press this flat wand against your chest, which doesn't feel fun bc of he wires and stuff. And they dump half a bottle of cold silicon based lube on you to glide the wand better, and it spreads everywhere, and you're tying to stay still and not kick your legs while he technician pressed the same spot with the wand and she says nothing the entire time. But it also sucks if she does say something.

anyways they finish up and leave you with a whole chest worth of lube and they only give you ONE paper towel square for you to clean up and get dressed.

When she leaves you steal more...but it's never enough.

I don't even have chest hair, imagine the men who do. Poor Magnus.

chest pains.

your heartbeat sounds deferent too. (depending on what you had done, it can be heard even without a stethoscope.)

Holter monitor at some point.

It's a box with wires clipped onto patches that you wear for two days. It's done to monitor your heart beats for a full 24 hours. The patches get itchy and if you scratch at them the box registers the movement as heart beats and when the Cardiologist looks at the tests it just straight up looks like you just had a heart attack.

fashion-wise your scar will show. Tank tops, V necks, Bralettes, the scar will peak through the top.

Clothes has never really bothered my scar, but after surgery I would wear button-ups or super big t-shirts since my movement was limited.

look up femoral artery. They use that on some heart procedures too.

That's about all I can think of. hope this helped someone with their writing/art <3

Rating Clown Emojis

Apple: Right off the bat this man gets a 2/10. I HATE him. He is not cute. He looks dirty with his off-white greenish yellow skin. I can't figure out why his eyes are so wide or why he has white makeup around his eyes AND in between the blue. Very strange. And his hair is SO short :( which defeats the point of clown hair...

Samsung: VERY similar to Apple's which is a shitty choice of design to copy in this case. Sorry not sorry. He is slightly better though in that his eyes are round and make sense, the white clearly looks like sclera and the blue is the only makeup around them. His skin isn't dirty either, he actually has a nice rosy blush all around. So, although they copied a bad design, they did make him palatable. This man gets a 6/10 for being a normal clown who needs to grow his hair out.

Twitter/Discord: Another instance of a plain design but given as this is their style it is passable as an offense. His hair is blue and is the first of the bunch to not have red, so he gets style points for that. His cheeks and smile are cute. He looks very polite. There is just not much else going on for him unfortunately. Was a 6 until my friend pointed out he's asymmetrical and now I can't unsee it. It's not hard to make a flat design symmetrical! FUCK! 4/10. Fuck you twitter.

Google: Cutie! Clean design and nice makeup! Only white and red aside from his striking black eyes and toothless mouth which makes for a striking image. The new version is softer and more huggable than the old one. Honestly want to give him a kiss on his little head. Good boy, 10/10. As for the old/android version: also good but for different reasons! A little rougher around the edges, this clown has lost an eye. But he's still here to make you smile!!! A bit creepier than his little brother, but that just makes him look nervous to me. 7/10.

Facebook: Overall, looks like Chuckles the clown from Toy Story 3 but actually happy. Old version was originally preferred for its flatter image. It made the makeup more appealing and interesting in shape. New version is similar but more high quality. Almost too shaded in some areas. No real need for him to have the red lipstick around his mouth at this point bc it's so thin. New version is probably a 7/10. Still a good boy but not preferable to the cuteness and shapes of the original which I'd give a 9/10.

Microsoft: Microsoft makes some freaky looking clowns! These are just not cute boys. More like the clowns you'd see in a horror movie before they go through the traumatic event that leads them to start their murder spree. Much like Apple's and Samsung's, the hair on both of them is SO short!! What's the point of cute red clown curls if they're barely seen? New version gets a 4/10 for very lazy design. Pink lips are a strange addition and they gave him literal evil eyes. Old version gets a 5/10. Slightly better than the new one but really nothing outstanding. Just a guy. I do like his eyebrows - only one or two other emojis use eyebrows on their clowns and it makes him more expressive.

LG: Looks almost like a mix between the two Google clowns. The long-lost brother perhaps? There really isn't too much to say about him. Looks nice, if not a little awkward bc of his tiny eyes and big goofy grin. 7/10.

HTC: No idea what HTC is but I don't care. This boy is interesting and unique! Blue star makeup around his eyes, a big ol' nose and a clear definition between his makeup and skin. Nicely done. I wish they had done something more interesting with his cap- maybe even just changing the color to blue to match his eyes. Or changed the hair to blue instead. Something to break up the monotony at the top of the design. 8/10 though, he's a fun boy who knows how to entertain for sure.

Skype: This palette is very strange...why did you put an Instagram filter on my boy? His eyebrows almost blend into his skin but are just off enough to be unsettling. Like. Clearly, he dyed them that way on purpose, but why? Nothing too special otherwise. Looks almost identical to the others we have seen with red hair except he has no eye or cheek makeup whatsoever. His nose is very shiny though. 6/10.

JoyPixels: NO CLUE WHAT JOYPIXELS IS BUT THIS MAN HAS GOOD MAKEUP SKILLS!!! The points on his eyes!! The rosy cheeks! The white inside the red of his lipstick is a unique choice too! And another for the blue haired boys!! Overall, this man has his techniques and WILL beat everyone else at the skill competition. 9/10 only bc I am still not a fan of the off-white skin color.

OpenMoji: This man scares me actually. And more so than the clowns that are actually supposed to be creepy like Pennywise. This guy just fucking STARES at you. He has no soul. And the dark, thick outlines around everything make it all worse. Why aren't they around his nose and eyes????? I just don't get it. Don't think I want to. 0/10. Please get him out of my sight.

Emojidex: A FUN GUY!!!! I will invite him to every party. The dark outlines work better here bc it is only around his head and hair. Only the second clown here to have defined teeth too, except his is a fully closed grin. And he has some very pearly whites! A little heavy on the eye makeup, covering the black strikes with a yellow star and blue circle but not too annoying that it takes over the good things about him. He gets an 8/10!

Emojipedia: Last one! And unfortunately, it's not ending on a good note. This could have gone so well? Like I see where they wanted to go...but they took all the bad things from Apple's design and mixed it with the blue haired gang to make this moldy purple monstrosity. His face would be perfectly fine if they hadn't made his mouth and eyes HOLLOW. Like. Thats NOT a living clown. Thats a husk. He is actually soulless and decaying. What did you DO to him?!?!?! 1/10 only bc I'm afraid whatever currently inhabits his body will come find me if I give him a 0.
