Ten-ish panels to sum up Dick Grayson
@roma107 challenged me some time back: “10 Nightwing Panels That Perfectly Sum Up His Character. Your turn. Go.” It’s been hard to even get close, and in the end I couldn't quite keep it to ten panels... But, enjoy disagreeing with me all the same. 😉
1. Robin vol 2 # 13 (1995)
Dick has issues with Bruce – they have had occasional problems with communication since the early 1940s – but he is loyal to a fault.
2. Teen Titans vol 3 # 6 (2004)
Just about every one of DC’s heroes respects, trusts and is prepared to listen to Dick. Obviously, that's not because he's a nice guy – which he is, don't get me wrong – or because he puts in the work with relationships – which he does. That may make people like you, but it's not enough to get them to follow you into battle...
No, that's because he's smart, professional and competent. As you see here, he can also be intense and knows how to make a dramatic entrance...
3. World's Finest Comics vol 1 # 200 (1971)
Dick is (often, but not always) ready with a smile and a joke. He loved being Robin as a kid, he wanted to do it forever (see, for instance, Nightwing vol 2 # 75). As Batman after Final Crisis, he smiled enough to convince Two-Face it wasn't the old Batman.
To what extent Dick jokes because he's in a good mood, he’s trying to keep his spirits up or he wants to annoy criminals enough to gaude them into sloppy mistakes – it varies between creators and Dick’s mood at the time😉
However, there have certainly been periods when Dick has not put on his best behaviour. He snaps at Alfred, he's unpleasant to close friends in the Titans, etc. I'd argue this is a sign he's not in a good place, mentally. Most of the panels of short fuse/asshole Dick Grayson you will find floating around are either from when he was leading The Outsiders (vol 3), and was struggling after the death of Donna Troy. Or from the almost five years' worth of New Teen Titans comics where his behaviour is influenced by being tortured and brainwashed by Brother Blood (New Teen Titans vol 1 # 22, August 1982, to New Teen Titans # 31, May 1987).
Alternate panel: Teen Titans vol 2 # 12 (1997)
4. Battle for the Cowl # 3 (2009)
Dick is prepared to change. Whether it's about a new mantle, getting a new job to pay the bills, or moving to a new city.
5. The New Teen Titans vol 2 # 6 (1985)
Dick might drop everything when somebody asks for help, and he is open to asking for help and working with teams better than Batman. But he does have his own set of control issues. He wants to have a job instead of living on Bruce’s money; he wants to know how to cook etc so he can take care of himself. You could argue it's a response to being orphaned and losing his home at a young age, and then having several episodes when he doesn't feel secure about his place with Bruce Wayne (see, for instance Robin Year One, Batman plays a lone hand in Batman vol 1 # 13, Partner to Batman in Batman vol 1 # 65)
6. Action comics weekly # 613 (1988)
Dick is uncomfortable with casual relationships/sex. When he had a fling with Huntress (Nightwing/Huntress, 1988–1989), he tried to start a relationship. It took him a long time to accept that he could live with Kory after she had gone through with a marriage of state on her home planet, and he felt strange living with her because they weren't married (see NTT vol 2 #48).
7. Detective Comics vol 1 # 881 (2011)
Dick is a nice guy who chooses to be kind, optimistic and to give people the benefit of a doubt – but he's still sneaky and definitely not stupid.
8. Titans vol 1 # 3 (1999)
Yes, Dick jokes a lot, and he enjoys hanging out with his friends. But he's also a workaholic and holds himself to a very high standard.
Alternate panel: New Teen Titans vol 1 # 29 (1983)
9. Nightwing vol 4 # 41 (2018)
He has a tendency to self-blame - and he is also very stubborn! Presumably, the tendency to feel guilty over things outside his control is partly survivor's guilt, but also related to the very high standards he holds himself to, and the very high expectations others have on him. And, I would argue, this tendency is a reason he sometimes lets friends an family punish him without fighting back.
Bonus panel: sometimes, he can admit he has a problem with self-blame. The New Titans vol 1 # 57 (1989)
10. Nightwing vol 3 # 29 (2014)
He wants to be a safety net for everyone. That's a good summary of Nightwing as a character, in my opinion.
And... Nightwing vol 4 # 43 (2018)
Bonus. This one-shot is a good Nightwing story, but very unfair on Roy Harper/Arsenal. It touches on several things – how Dick is always ready to help, that he does not want to be like Batman, his tendency to blame himself...

Noticing a fellow AzulAang appreciator here.
So I ask you the question. Which one do you indulge in more:
"I can make her better" or "I can make him worse" dynamic?
“I can make him worse”. 10000000%
Oh my gaud it’s so hot

Athy, I saw you also like tenet as well 👀 So I wanna hear your thoughts on sebchal tenet au. Like seb, as an experienced spy who's fiercely loyal and got recruited into the undo-apocalypse team project, meets with a puppy-eyed man named charles for the first time. But why doesn't it feel that way? How does charles know about jägerbomb? What are those gazes charles gives him when he think seb doesn't notice? And then some tokens give charles away and seb gets his italicized oh moment 🥺 The tension and angst of this au. . . chef's kiss!!
Anon. Anon. This is only the most perfect idea ever. Oh my gaude. Oh my gaude! A sebchal Tenet AU. It’s never even crossed my mind but now I see, I see! It couldn’t be more fitting! Anon your mind. Your mind! I have to write this. I have to! Thoughts under the cut, will be a little scrambled at the moment so bear with me!
Imagine Charles as Neil and Sebastian as the Protagonist! A reminder to everyone that the world didn’t end because Neil loved the Protagonist!
Anyway. Sebastian’s on this mission. It’s so top-secret he doesn’t even have details of what it is, or who he’s going to meet. Is it nuclear? Probably. (It isn’t. It’s temporal.) He dresses up in a midnight blue pinstripe suit for his first meeting with his contact. In a crowded bar, someone slides into the seat on his left.
Jesus. He’s young. The circles around his eyes are deep, like he hasn’t slept for two days. His suit is rumpled and marred with gunpowder stains. He already looks like he’s seen too much. Sebastian wants to yell. He keeps his tongue trapped behind his teeth. The fate of the world doesn’t care for the corruption of innocence. And anyway, the man before him is staring at him strangely, drinking him in like he’s seeing a ghost from his past. (Charles is, by the way. Sebastian is alive, alive! Come back to him at last, for this period of time that Charles needs to make the most of. To save the world and to convey to Sebastian just how much he is to him. The love of his life. Sebastian just doesn’t know it yet.)
Maybe he’s nervous, this young man. Sebastian smiles a little, to try to put him at ease. Oddly, it just makes the man’s lip wobble.
He clears his throat, flags a waiter down. “Vodka tonic,” he says, and points to Sebastian, “and a Jägerbomb.”
Sebastian blinks. “That’s for teenagers.”
The man smiles. “You still drink it.”
It’s the truth, though not one Sebastian has ever broadcasted. There’s so much more the man seems to want to say. Sebastian shifts, feeling like he’s being held up to the light and examined. It’s unlike him to feel out of control and wrong-footed in first meetings. There’s something so familiar about the way the man’s sitting, hunched but leaning persistently toward Sebastian. “You’re well informed.”
“It pays to be in our profession.” The man holds out a hand. His grip around Sebastian is tight, and he pulls away with what can only be described as reluctance. “Charles.”
Sebastian nods. Charles’ eyes are eager and determined and so, so wide. (Much later, Sebastian will look back upon this meeting and wonder. If it would’ve been better for them never to have crossed paths. It’s stupid. He would trade the world for more time, looking into Charles’ eyes.) “Let’s get to work.”

Step-by-step guide on how to take the 'perfect' tour at the Sagrada Familia
The Sagrada Familia by Antoni Gaud is a masterwork of the post-modern era. Its totemic honeycomb Gothic towers, which have come to represent Barcelona itself, are perched atop its beautifully carved facade. The inside is a riot of colour with columns that resemble tree trunks and rise to the canopy of a surreal, psychedelic forest.
Any plan for Barcelona should start with a stop at Gaud's masterpiece. With the help of this vital advice and information, you can make the most of your time at the Sagrada Familia tour.
Tips:
It is a structure that is listed by UNESCO
Among the structures completed by Antoni Gaud (1852-1926) in or near Barcelona that are listed on UNESCO's World Heritage list are the Nativity Façade and Crypt of La Sagrada Familia. The other six Gaud structures in Barcelona that are designated by UNESCO are the Crypt in Colonia Güell, Parque Güell, Palacio Güell, Casa Vicens, and Casa Batlló.
La Sagrada Familia is infamous for being unfinished
Since 1882, construction has been ongoing on the Sagrada Familia. Aged 73 and residing on-site, Gaud was still working on it in 1926 when he was killed by a tram.
The story is external
Most churches use the statues and sacred artwork they keep to illustrate and explain religious beliefs. The Sagrada Familia deviates from this tradition by communicating these messages through its spectacular facades. The 1935-completed Nativity Façade commemorates the birth of Jesus and faces the rising sun in the east. It features aspects associated with nature and the origin of life and is intricately created in Gaudi's style.
Every tower there is a symbol
La Sagrada Familia was supposed to include a total of 18 towers, according to Antoni Gaudi. These towers all hold unique significance. Twelve of the towers, one for each of the Twelve Apostles, are positioned on the Temple's three facades. The towers of the Glory Façade are currently being built; thus far, eight have been finished.
The interior is amazing
You can see why some people would choose to merely observe La Sagrada Familia from the outside. It can't possibly get any better than this, right? Reconsider your position. You won't find another church like this one anywhere else. The conventional buttresses in the Gothic style are gone.
During your Sagrada Familia tour make sure that you get your tickets booked online well in advance to avoid the crowd. Safely travel!

So originally I was reading biggest-gaudiest-patronuses’s Tony the Tiger x the Grinch fic ironically because like “Jesus Christ how did this get so many good reviews” and “this is going to be fucking hilarious”
But now
I
I just
????
It’s like, actually amazing and good and wow?
Like….how?
I’m an arrogant fanfic writer, okay? and plenty of times I’ve read fanfics and was like “okay that was decent” and “the grammar and spelling errors suck” and yada yada which is a lot coming from this loser
But I can confidently say in my many years of reading fanfics experience, this 4 chapters out of 7 (yeah, you heard me! It’s not even done yet, fools!) has to be
One Of The Greatest Things Ever
And yes, I have given it Kudos and Bookmarked it, you can check my AO3 account (TheJadeCount totally not self-advertising no how could you suggest such a thing)
And when reading said 4 chapters, these were my thoughts:
Wow okay no spelling and grammar errors so far that’s nice
Oh the Grinch uses they/them pronouns? Cool makes sense
Noisy Days? Oh yeah I know what U talking about fam
Wow okay Tony the Tiger hasn’t been doing good
I wonder how much of gaud’s hidden trauma I can pick out in this (and before anyone says anything no I’m not hating against Gaud or anything that’s just a thought I have whenever I read fanfics or whenever i read my own: I wonder how much of my trauma is showing)
And finally:
HOW THE FUCK IS THIS ACTUALLY GOOD HOLY SHIT I HAVE NO WORDS WHAT IN THE HOLY FUCK OH MY GOD AHHHHH
Like I was seriously screeching for a good 5 minutes as my sister looked at me weirdly from across the room
A Tony the Tiger x the Grinch fanfic written by The Embodiement Of Tumblr is what has me down for the count and reeling
And
It
Isn’t
Even
Finished
Yet
Wow.

emily prentiss x bau!fem!reader
new years eve is shaping up to be quite boring until a certain fbi agent shows up on your doorstep armed with champagne and a confession
word count: 2.5k
warnings: mentions of spending the holidays alone, partial nudity, alcohol consumption
a/n: a new years eve fic! on new years eve! what a novel idea. may the next year treat us all well. enjoy <3
⭒⭑⭒
The string of days between Christmas and New Years feel like purgatory.
One holiday bleeds slowly into the next, and no one knows what day it is or how long it’s been since they ate something moderately healthy. For most it’s time well spent with family and friends, but for you it’s a sentence to near solitary confinement. You have no family, no friends, and are too stubborn to take up your co-workers’ invitations to join them on holiday getaways to ski chalets or sandy beaches. As much time as possible is spent at work, researching potential cases to present to the team and making sure all paperwork is up-to-date. The team will be able to start with their best foot forward in the new year, something you’re proud of, and it keeps you going into the office even when you’d rather stay in bed and wallow in the intense loneliness you feel.
As far as you’re aware, you’re the only member of the BAU still in the metro D.C area. Reid went home to Vegas to spend the holidays with his mom, Hotch and JJ did a combined trip to Disneyland, Morgan and Garcia hopped on a plane to Europe with intentions to hit the slopes, and Rossi was gauded into returning to Staten Island to participate in one more family Christmas before his parents got too old. Only Emily’s whereabouts are unknown, but you’re sure she isn’t in Washington. Why would she be? There are a thousand different people and places vying for her attention, and one of them had to be the lucky winner.
It’s your most well-kept secret, the fact you have an almost debilitating crush on your co-worker, but you’re also sure everyone has figured it out, even Emily herself. Working with the best profilers in the country means that your private life isn’t exactly private, no matter how well guarded you are. No one has said anything, which you’re incredibly grateful for, but you still can’t help but think it’s the main topic of conversation when you’re not around.
Quantico is desolate as you wind through the streets to FBI headquarters. No car is on the road except your own, and there is only one in the parking lot when you pull in. Badge in hand, you trek up the steps and pull open the large door. Jamie, one of the building’s security guards, is face down in a book — it must have been his sedan you parked beside.
“Agent,” he says, surprised to see another person. “What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be getting ready with friends? The New Years festivities start in a few hours.”
You shake your head. “Just wanted to square away a few things before the weekend. Besides, it’s not like I have anything better to do. It’s just me this year.”
He doesn’t miss the sad downturn in your voice, or the longing for companionship in your eyes. “Who knows? Maybe you’ll get invited somewhere.” Jamie sounds resolute in the statement, but you know it must be easy for him to think when once his shift is over he’ll return home to a wife and kids. When you’re done putting in work there’ll be no one waiting for you at home.
The elevator dings then, signalling its availability to take you to the floor where the BAU is located. You wave goodbye in an almost timid fashion, insisting you’ll take good care of yourself and you’ll at least look into doing something. Nothing will come of it, but a small white lie has never hurt anyone. In fact, you deal almost exclusively in little whites lies, whether it be police forces making a situation seem more grim than it actually is to get the team to come or to Strauss when she asks why you’ve taken on the cases you have. Telling Jamie one more won’t cause the world to fall apart.
Your office is tucked just inside the glass doors that shelter the BAU from the rest of the floor, but you don’t head there. Instead, you tiptoe through the bullpen until you’re standing in front of Emily’s desk, marvelling at the framed photos that litter it. You’re in a few — group shots from nights out or family dinners — but in every single snapshot your eyes aren’t trained on the camera. Instead, they’re zeroed in on a raven-haired agent with soft eyes and a carefree smile. Eventually you force yourself to stop looking at past versions of Emily and accomplish what you had intended to do. Taking one last look, you notice that in one frame she’s looking at you too.
⭑
It’s long past sunset when you return home. Things at the office didn’t take long to complete, despite the frequent distraction of the pictures on Emily’s desk replaying in your mind, but you couldn’t bring yourself to return to your empty apartment. Since the conversation with Jamie in the lobby you’ve been dreading the silence would greet you when the door rocked on its hinges. Instead of immediately returning home you drove into D.C and walked along the National Mall, marvelling at the tourists in town to ring in the new year surrounded by history. Each individual step amalgamated into a mushed series in your brain, and once you could no longer tell what was real or imaginary you turned and headed for home.
As expected, it’s dark and silent and lonely, as well as a million other words you can’t think of to encapsulate how isolated you feel. If you had been thinking clearly you would have picked up take out on the drive back, but you weren’t in a completely sound frame of mind so you’re relegated to heating up three day old broccoli pasta and drinking room temperature beer. You can’t even be bothered to change into comfortable clothing, instead throwing your blouse and slacks over the back of your dining room chair seconds before crashing onto the worn leather sofa you inherited from your parents nearly a decade ago but can’t seem to get rid of.
The television turns on at the press of a button, and you briefly watch the news for updates on potential cases before deciding you’ve done more than enough work for the day and switching to a New Years special. This one seems to be taking place in New York, a place you’ve never had much love for, but at the moment you’d give anything to be there amongst the suffocating crowd. Maybe then you wouldn’t feel so alone.
Hours pass by and more beers are consumed, but you can’t seem to reach the buzz you’re so desperately chasing. The performances and countdowns meld together but you can recount each in excruciating detail if questioned. No one could do that inebriated, further proving that getting drunk isn’t in the cards tonight. A chill settles over the room and you struggle to wrangle a throw blanket free from its perch on the couch. Though comfortable, sitting in just your undergarments doesn’t provide much protection against the drafty windows you should call the landlord about. Some pop star, whom you don’t particularly care about, is thanking fans for helping them reach a milestone this past calendar year and you zone out. Nothing and everything floats through your brain all at once, swimming in circles and causing a beautiful confusion.
The dull thud of a fist against your door shakes you from your stupor. Panic encroaches and your instincts set in — the pistol normally kept in a secure location is grabbed and work clothes are haphazardly thrown onto your body. You aren’t expecting the person on the other side of the wood slab, and the fact she’s there is astounding. Emily Prentiss is on your doorstep carrying a large bottle of expensive champagne and a bag of garlic bread.
“Hi.”
“Can I help you, Emily?” you ask, but mentally backpedal when you realize how ill-tempered the tone of the words made you seem.
She smiles shyly, as though you can actually help her, and gestures to the objects in her hands like it’s obvious. “Jamie mentioned you were spending the evening alone when I went into the office this afternoon, and I had no plans, so I thought we could watch the dumb special programs and drown our sorrows in alcohol.”
The answer is so Emily, so perfect, you can’t help but return her grin. “I told him I’d look into going out.”
“Well sweetheart, no one exactly believes you when you say things like that. So what do you say?”
All the air leaves your lungs at the pet name, but you manage to nod semi-enthusiastically and move to the side. Emily slips off her shoes while you close the door and treads into the living space carefully, inspecting-without-inspecting your decor. You quickly play the role of gracious hostess, getting her a crystal flute and asking if she’d like anything to eat. She declines, saying she had leftovers before coming over, and urges you to sit down. You oblige, turning to face her and tucking your legs underneath you.
Emily rakes her eyes over you, once, then a second time, before coughing rather aggressively. It rings through the quiet like a gunshot and nearly makes you jump. Unsure of what could have caused such a reaction, you look down to find that your hastily buttoned shirt has shifted, revealing a rather large patch of red lace that hints at what’s underneath. Surely that can’t be the reason the normally sauve woman across from you is a blushing mess?
She respectfully looks away while you adjust, and you place a tentative hand on her shoulder to let her know everything is back to normal. “Sorry about that.”
“It’s okay,” she laughs, but it comes out a little strangled. “Happens to the best of us.”
Unsure of where to go from the moment, somehow vulnerable and impersonal at the same time, you reach across Emily to grab the bottle of champagne and don’t even bother getting a glass. The cool liquid does wonders to soothe the fire in your insides, exacerbated by the fact that Emily came to you, wanted to spend time with you. Some alcohol misses your mouth, dribbles down your chin, but before you can even lift the bottle from your lips it’s being wiped away.
It’s Emily, you realize, stroking her thumb across your skin tenderly and making sure there isn’t an opportunity for the champagne to stain your button up. Clouds immediately form in your mind and you close your eyes — this has to be a dream. Under no circumstance is Emily Prentiss sitting on your couch staring at you with longing and centimetres away from your lips. You must have fallen asleep, and your dreams are vivid due to the beer.
“Sweetheart, hey,” Emily says barely above a whisper. “You alright?”
Your eyelids flutter open, a bit heavy from all the alcohol you’ve consumed, but you’re met with her brown eyes so close to your own and her fingers fiddling with the hem of your pants. Apparently this is in fact real life, and while you had been trying to convince yourself otherwise you’d missed Emily inching closer and resting her forehead against your own.
“Yeah,” you sputter, nearly choking on air. “I drank a bit before you got here and I think it’s all catching up to me.”
Emily smiles softly, like she already knew this, and it’s then you clue in to the fact there are four empty beer bottles on the coffee table. “Are you drunk?”
Laughter trickles from your lips. “I wish,” you confess, “It would make the loneliness a lot easier to ignore.”
Again, Emily smiles like she understands. It’s a bit surreal, the way the two of you are so similar, but you’re enjoying learning about her through these small glances. If you could keep your cool around her for longer periods you’re almost sure you’d be friends, but love is cruel and unyielding. You’re destined to never know Emily all that well, watching from the sidelines as she jokes with Reid and Morgan, marvelling at her beauty and resigning yourself to the fact she’ll never be yours.
“Can I kiss you?”
The question steals every ounce of air from your lungs. Emily is looking at you intently, studying your features for clues. You’ve never been a profiler, but know she’ll be able to read any emotion you try to hide. The most prominent one is shock. You’re beyond surprised she’d ask the one thing that’s been on the tip of your tongue for years.
“Are —” you struggle to find the words you want to say. “Are you sure you want to do that?”
It’s Emily’s turn to laugh. It’s a beautiful sound, her trill giggles as she nods her head, and you do your best to imprint it to memory. If this is the last time you’ll ever hear it you want to give yourself the best shot at remembering.
“Pretty damn sure, sweetheart. I’ve wanted to do it since I joined the team.”
You’re beyond shocked. “You’ve wanted to kiss me for three years?”
Emily smiles in a way that allows it to reach her eyes. Beautiful, you think, but don’t allow yourself much time to focus on it, too eager to catch her next words. “Four if you count the time I visited with my mother on some bureaucratic business and you held the door for me. You were wearing a black turtleneck that made your eyes look even more angelic than normal. I didn’t know that at the time, of course, but I did know I wanted to kiss you senseless.”
“Clearly Spencer isn’t the only one with an eidetic memory,” you whisper, growing bold and confident under her confession and moving even closer until your lips are so close to hers you can feel the breath she inhales.
It takes a moment, but you gain the courage to tilt your head slightly upwards and slot your lips against Emily’s. Time stops with the flourish of a cheesy romance novel, though you can’t find it in you to groan internally. Kissing her is perfect in ways you could never describe — all plump lips and gentle touches and whispered sweet nothings. You never want it to end, but eventually Emily pulls away.
She doesn’t stray far, just tucks you into her side, and cards her fingers through the matted ends of your hair. Emily seems to have quite an affinity for the strands, allowing them to keep her attention while you process the fact that the girl you’ve been pining after for years has also been in love with you.
“You know,” you say breathlessly, still in a surreal state from the kiss, “Maybe ringing in the new year won’t be so lonely after all.”
Emily giggles brightly in the way that made you fall in love with her all those years ago. “I hope not.”
The pair of you spend the remaining hours of the night eating, drinking, and talking about what the future holds. When the television program begins the countdown Emily looks at you with a gleam in her eyes, and waits until the ball drops to kiss you into the next year.

hold me like that
word count: 1.6k
warnings: explicit!fem reader, soft wedding vibes
recommended listening: it's all coming back to me now | celine dion
a/n: guess i go here now. got inspired by that video where the avs sing their go-to karaoke songs and tbarrie does not disappoint
Tyson has always had this magnetism about him.
You felt it the first time you met him. It was a sleepy Thursday night in Denver, and your friends had convinced you to join them for a few drinks to celebrate the long weekend you’d all found yourself faced with. You weren’t huge on going out on weekdays, but you did have Friday off because the building that held your office was undergoing construction. Instead of forcing everyone to work from home the company decided to create a long weekend, and you were incredibly grateful. It had been a hard couple of weeks with project deadline after deadline, but that was behind you now and you could kick back and relax. Plus, your friends offered to foot your bill, so how could you say no?
The dive bar you had found yourself crowded into was hosting a karaoke night. It seemed like every patron was scrambling to get a turn at the mic, but you sat at a table off to the side and just cheered them on. Your friends did their best to convince you to do a rendition of ‘Wannabe’ with them but you refused, staying in your seat while they made fools of themselves in front of hundreds of people. Somehow, Sarah had gotten the crowd to join in, and it turned into a giant sing-along. Laughter tumbled from your lips as you watched, and once they finished you whistled loudly, clapping along with the rest of the crowd. The four of them took dramatic bows before they exited stage left. They tumbled back to the table as the emcee called for the next participant.
“Tyson? You’re up next!”
Chants of his name erupted from a group of men across the bar, and one of them peeled off to hop onto the stage. He smiled brightly at the crowd and gave a timid wave before turning to his friends and flipping them off. Their laughter echoed off the walls and you joined in. However, your laughter was less in good spirit and more of the awestruck variety. The man in front of you had kind eyes and gently tousled waves that just suited him. His smile made you want to get to know him better, and you found yourself drawn to him. The opening piano notes of a ballad fluttered through the speakers as you watched intently.
“There were nights when the wind was so cold,” he crooned, and the pitch of his voice surprised you. It took a few more lines for you to realize he was imitating Céline Dion, though rather poorly. Everyone in the bar was enthralled by the performance he was giving, and you spotted more than a few girls near the stage who were trying desperately to get his attention.
The group he came with continued to shout their support, but it was hard to understand them due to just how much they laughed. Prepared to go all out for the chorus, Tyson ripped the microphone from its stand and walked to the edge of the stage. “When you touch me like this, and you hold me like that,” he sang, and turned in the direction of your table. Boldly, the stranger pointed directly at you as he continued in the ridiculous accent. “I just have to admit that it’s all coming back to me.” At the end of the sentence, with his arm still extended, Tyson winked at you.
He continued to sing and the rest of the crowd joined him, but you were too shocked to form the words. You sat there dumbfounded until the end of the song, when you came to your wits just enough to join the applause. Tyson took it all in stride and gave the same wave he offered at the beginning of the performance before he shuffled off the stage. Instead of rejoining the festivities at his friends’ table, the brunette made his way through the crowd towards you. He stuck out at hand once he stopped in front of you, and spoke with the softest demeanour you had ever encountered.
“I couldn’t help but notice you from up there. I’m Tyson.”
Your insides melted at the sound of his voice, and you choked out a reply as you tried to figure out a way to stay close to him forever.
☼☼☼☼
He’s the same way now, a handful of years later. No matter what room you're in or how many people are between the two of you, one soft smile from Tyson has you slinking across the space and into his side. Friends and family laugh at how you’re always found close to one another, but they truly don’t mind because the love between you is palpable. It took you both an incredibly long time to find the happiness each other brings and no one is going to try and take it away from you.
It’s late in the evening, the sun having dipped behind the mountains hours ago, but somehow you’re still stuck repeating the same thank you spiel to wedding guests as you walk around. Tyson is nowhere in sight, but you’re sure he’s doing the same thing. No one informed you how much time you’d actually spend separated from your newly minted husband on your wedding night – if you had known you would have cut the guest list down dramatically.
You slip from the conversation you found yourself in with Tyson’s aunt and grandmother and head to the balcony of the rustic ski lodge you rented for the ceremony and reception. The fresh air greets you like a welcome friend, but it’s chillier than you expected. Wordlessly you pull your husband’s suit jacket tighter around your shoulders and stare at the idyllic landscape in front of you. Though you no longer live in Colorado, Tyson’s job landing you in Edmonton via a short stint in Toronto, you knew you had to get married here. It was your home for so long and your closest friends still reside in the state. Besides, it has that low-key feeling that is an exact replica of your relationship. Everything is easy in Colorado, just like it’s easy with Tyson.
There’s a rustling behind you that signals someone else has appeared on the balcony, and you don’t have to turn around to know it’s Tyson. The air around you has warmed up significantly and there’s a prickle of electricity at the base of your neck that flickers whenever he’s around. A pair of strong arms wrap around your waist, and you lean back into the body they belong to.
“Hey there stranger,” Tyson says softly, tilting your head gently to press a delicate kiss to your lips.
“Long time no see,” you hum in response. “I didn’t know I’d never get to see you once we were married.”
He throws his head back in laughter at your grovelling, and you swear you’d be content if that was the only sound you heard for the rest of your life. “We have a lifetime ahead of us baby, I think we can let your nieces have a few dances with me.”
You know he’s right, but you’ll never admit it. Time doesn’t feel quite as fulfilling when it’s spent apart from Tyson. A comfortable silence engulfs the little bubble you’ve found yourself in, and Tyson says pressed to you as you point out the various constellations littering the night sky. Astronomy was a hobby you picked up one season to keep the loneliness at bay while Tyson was away, but it stuck and he listens to you ramble about the stars as often as he can. The silence is so peaceful, filled with so much love, that you think about never returning to the reception area.
“Do you remember the first night we met?” you whisper, nervous about disturbing the tranquil atmosphere.
“How could I forget? You were the most beautiful girl in the room.” It’s your turn to laugh, but Tyson insists. “I’m serious babe. Gabe had pointed you out when we walked in, but I was too much of a chicken to do anything. I kept waiting, hoping you’d go up and sing a song so I’d have a reason to come talk to you, but you never did. The guys gauded me into doing that ridiculous Céline Dion impression, and I only did it to catch your attention.”
Surprise laces your features. “Why have I never heard this version of events?”
“Because it’s stupid.”
You turn in his grip as gently as possible, looking him in the eyes. “I don’t think anything you do could be considered stupid Tys.”
“Even that one time at Worlds where I cut myself wrestling with Simmer?”
The sparkle in your eyes only intensifies as you giggle. “Maybe that,” you sigh, “But nothing else.”
Out of things to say, probably because he knows that was an incredibly stupid moment, Tyson leans down to close the distance between your lips. The kiss isn’t unlike the ones you’ve shared all day – sweet and full of so much love the grinch would snuff up his nose. However, it’s also different. It manages to convey a thousand words Tyson would never be able to vocalize about how thankful he is for you, and you revel in the feeling. You’ve never loved someone as much as you love him and it’s clear he’s in the same boat.
Eventually you pull away, a bright smile taking up much of your face as you rest your head on Tyson’s shoulder. When Tyson came out to find you he didn’t shut the sliding door properly, and the piano melody that started it all makes its way to your ears. Tyson’s laugh rumbles in his chest and you feel it against like a sunshine beam on your cheek. Wordlessly he begins to sway in time with the music, and you follow his lead.
“I love you,” he says with the same amount of conviction a judge does when giving a sentence.
Your response is automatic, and the easiest thing you’ve ever done. “Forever and ever.”

HAHA Hey suckers I lied Star Sanses Extended chapter 1 done NOW (link to it on AO3)
It was quite the normal day.
Unfortunately. The Great Papyrus was bored. He had already recalibrated his puzzles twice, made pasta 3 times, scolded his brother 4 times, and was trying to figure out what to do 5 and 6 times (because threes are overused) when something happened. Well, not really. Sans took one of his shortcuts to appear right behind Papyrus, something he did often to try and surprise him. Have no fear, Papyrus can’t be surprised, so his brother never succeeded.
Papyrus turned around, ready to scold his brother for not simply walking. Really, his sentry station wasn’t that far from Papyrus’s. Except… that wasn’t Sans. It was! But, well, he looked different.
“SANS? BROTHER, YOU DON’T HAVE TO DRESS UP AS ME TO FEEL AS GREAT. I KNOW YOU’RE TRYING YOUR BEST.” Sans was wearing a chest plate with a light gray t-shirt peeking out. There was a bright blue scarf wrapped around his neck, tied back rather effectively into a bow. It fit him, but Papyrus felt that scarves look better when they can flow dramatically in the wind. He had on gloves that looked identical to Papyrus’s but in the same blue as his scarf. And, interestingly enough, his eyes were not his regular white but light blue. “THAT IS BETTER THAN YOUR USUAL ATTIRE THOUGH, SO I THANK YOU FOR TRYING.”
“AH,” the smaller skeleton said. He looked a bit uncomfortable. Sans was never uncomfortable around Papyrus unless he was hiding something.
“SANS? IS THERE SOMETHING YOU NEED TO TELL ME? IF YOU WANT INTO THE ROYAL GUARD, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO TELL UNDYNE!!” Papyrus gave his brother a toothy grin (what else can he give him? Skeletons can’t hide their teeth, silly) in the hopes of comforting him. But still, Sans shook his head. Ah well, if his brother wanted to keep another secret-
“I’M ACTUALLY NOT YOUR BROTHER,” Sans (not Sans? Stary Sans? Blue Sans?) looked down before straightening himself. Now that this skeleton mentioned that he wasn’t Papyrus’s brother, the bigger skeleton noticed how much different he sounded. For one, those definitely sounded like all caps. Sans hated speaking in all caps, though he’d told Papyrus that it made him sound much more commanding. Next, his posture was much better. Sans had a terrible habit of slouching. His eyelights were also a cyan color, like a lighter shade of Sans’s magic.
“IF YOU’RE NOT MY BROTHER…” Papyrus scrunched up his face. This, was a puzzle. A puzzle he intended to solve all on his own. He stared down at the skeleton, who appeared to be bracing himself.
“WOWZERS, IT’S A LOT HARDER THAN I THOUGHT TO TALK TO AN ALTERNATE VERSION OF MY BROTHER,” Not Sans smiled awkwardly and looked away before quickly forcing himself to look back at Papyrus. Papyrus paused, trying to fit in what Blue Sans just called him.
“AN… ALTERNATE VERSION OF YOUR BROTHER?” Papyrus felt ridiculous repeating back what not Sans said, but he couldn’t help it. What did he mean by alternate version? Papyrus vaguely recalled a training session with Undyne. They liked to chat while they were sparring, and this particular time Undyne mentioned something Alphys was studying in her free time. “AUs.” She said. After a bit of questioning, Undyne revealed that AU was an abbreviation of Alternate Universe, but she hadn’t really been listening beyond that. Papyrus despised abbreviations, and found it so frustrating that Undyne and Sans were so intent on using them, that the words had stuck with him despite their vagueness. “ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ALTERNATE UNIVERSES?”
Not Sans perked up, his eye lights popping into stars. His smile went from awkward to excited as he began to talk.
“YES, I AM! HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THEM? USUALLY PAPYRUSES AREN’T AWARE OF THEM, BUT IF YOU ALREADY KNOW OF THEM THAT WILL MAKE THIS MUCH EASIER!”
“I’M AFRAID MY KNOWLEDGE IS LACKING. IT WAS MENTIONED BRIEFLY BY MY FANTASTIC FRIEND UNDYNE, BUT SHE DIDN’T KNOW MUCH EITHER.” Papyrus announced, slightly embarrassed. The blue Sans faltered, but quickly regained his energy.
“ALTERNATE UNIVERSES ARE EXACTLY WHAT THEY SOUND LIKE! THEY ARE ALTERNATE VERSIONS OF THIS WORLD. MINE IS CALLED ‘UNDERSWAP,’ YOU AND I HAVE SWITCHED PERSONALITIES THERE, SO REALLY, WE’RE THE SAME.” Not Sans concluded, looking adequately proud of himself for such a well worded explanation.
“…I SEE. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE THEN, NOT SANS?” Papyrus inquired. There was also the question of how Not Sans got here, but Papyrus was certain he would learn in due time.
“BLUEBERRY IS FINE! I’M A PART OF A GROUP OF SANSES CALLED THE ‘STAR SANSES’ SO MY FRIENDS AND I ALL HAVE NICKNAMES.” Nicknames, Papyrus’s worst enemy. Blueberry didn’t seem to mind though, despite him supposedly being an alternate version of Papyrus. “BUT TO GET TO THE POINT- I AM HERE BECAUSE I NEED TO ASK A FAVOR OF YOU, CLASSIC PAPYRUS.”
“IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD A TITLE TO MY NAME, THE GREAT WOULD BE BETTER, THANK YOU.” Papyrus announced, not sure what Blueberry meant by “classic.”
“NO, NO. CLASSIC IS A REFERENCE TO YOUR TIMELINE. YOUR TIMELINE IS THE ORIGINAL, SO IT’S LABELED ‘CLASSIC.’ I’M AFRAID MULTIPLE PAPYRUS USE ‘THE GREAT’ SO IT’S NOT AS DEFINING. IF YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT SUGGESTION, I’D BE OPEN FOR HEARING IT?” Blueberry sounded apologetic. Papyrus, meanwhile, was thinking hard. What other title would he like? Classic just didn’t suit him. He had to admit, Blueberry’s reasoning was sound. It might be better than coming up with his own. Still, if he could figure out a better one…
“THEN YOU CAN CALL ME COOL GUY INSTEAD!” Papyrus announced proudly. Blueberry hesitated then smiled.
“A NAME TO MATCH YOUR PERSONALITY? FANTASTIC! IGNORING THE FACT THAT I’M COOLER THAN YOU, IT’S PERFECT!” Blueberry concluded. Papyrus was tempted to correct him, but he could guess that it wouldn’t go so well. They were alternate versions of each other after all, so it would be difficult to discover who was cooler (it was obviously Papyrus though).
“ANYWAYS,” Papyrus said. “YOU MENTIONED A FAVOR? I’M FANTASTIC AT DOING FAVORS, AND I’D LOVE TO HELP YOU. WHAT DO YOU NEED?”
“MY FRIENDS AND I HAVE A VERY IMPORTANT JOB. WE PROTECT THE MULTIVERSE FROM AN EVIL GROUP CALLED THE ‘BAD SANSES.’ THEY’VE BEEN SUPER ACTIVE LATELY, AND DREAM THINKS THEY’LL ATTACK TODAY. UNFORTUNATELY, I’M BUSY ALL OF TODAY. I’M WORRIED ALPHYS WON’T THINK I’M FIT FOR THE GAUD OF I MISS A TRAINING SESSION, AND TODAY’S IS PLANNED TO LAST UNTIL LATE TONIGHT.” Papyrus had to hold back laughs picturing the short scientist holding one of Undyne’s spears with an eyepatch stuck on. He couldn’t seem to make it look anything short of ridiculous.
“BUT! BACK TO THE FAVOR, I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD TAKE MY PLACE TODAY. IF YOU’RE BUSY TOO, I UNDERSTAND.” Blueberry concluded.
“IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE A VERY IMPORTANT JOB. WHY DO YOU STILL WANT TO BE A MEMBER OF THE ROYAL GUARD? DOESN’T BEING A STAR SANS GIVE YOU ALL THE LOVE AND AFFECTION YOU COULD DESIRE?” Papyrus said haltingly. Star Sanses protected the whole multiverse, the Royal Guard just protects the underground. If that didn’t give Blueberry enough love… What hope did Papyrus have?
“WELL, IT DOES, BUT…” Blueberry took a deep breath. “I HAVEN’T SHARED WHAT I DO WITH MY TIMELINE YET. IT’S KIND OF A HUGE SECRET. I’M THE ONLY MULTIVERSAL BEING WHO ISN’T AN OUTCODE. IT’S NOT SOMETHING INCODES ARE SUPPOSED TO KNOW ABOUT. THERE AREN’T REALLY RULES BUT…” Blueberry trailed off, looking a bit upset.
“I’M SORRY I PUSHED. DOES THAT MEAN I’M NOT ALLOWED TO TELL ANYONE? MY BROTHER IS REALLY GOOD AT KEEPING SECRETS, MAY I TELL HIM?” Both brothers kept secrets from each other. Papyrus had his share, and he knew Sans had a pile. They had recently talked about trying to be more open with each other, and Papyrus wasn’t sure how he could keep his brother’s trust if he made a new secret. It was important to prevent new secrets from forming.
“LIKE I SAID, THERE ARE NO SPECIFIC RULES. IT’S JUST WHAT YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH. BUT I WILL ASK THAT YOU COMMIT TO BEING ONE OF US BEFORE YOU TELL HIM,” Blueberry said firmly.
“OF COURSE! I WON’T LET YOU DOWN! HOW DO I HELP THOUGH? I’M NOT EVEN SURE HOW TO LEAVE MY TIMELINE.” Papyrus admitted. Blueberry looked relieved, and he stuck out his hand.
“I’M AFRAID I CAN’T OPEN MULTIVERSAL SHORT CUTS MYSELF, BUT IF YOU’D TAKE MY HAND MY FRIEND CAN BRING US OUT!” Blueberry widened his grin, and Papyrus reached out to grab his hand. There was a moment of stillness, where it was just the two of them in a snow covered forest. Some snow flurries falling from branches above. Papyrus shifted, the pause was uncomfortable. Just as Blueberry began to frown, a warm, distinctly yellow feeling began to spread through Papyrus’s bones. Blueberry even seemed to be glowing with the magic. Then pop, and he was somewhere new. It felt like a small jerk on his SOUL, more abrupt than his brother’s short cuts around the underground.
Speaking of, this wasn’t like anything Papyrus had seen in the underground. It was a large space with an orange gradient. It looked… undefinable, in the sense that it didn’t end. There were papers with small dancing images, and a number of them looked like Papyrus and his friends. Some were held up by strings while others hovered around the islands that floated about. It was a very dream-like place, like something Papyrus had imagined. It has been a long time since he dreamt something so serene, which was the only reason he could believe what he was seeing.
“Sorry about that Blue-” a new voice spoke, sounding a bit out of breath. Papyrus turned to find a golden Sans, laced with the same magic that brought him and Blueberry here. He had his hand wrapped tightly around another Sans. This one was incredibly short, he looked like a child compared to Papyrus (Not to fear! The Great Papyrus was fantastic with children!). He had a brush taller than him strapped to his back, and his outfit was all kinds of decorated- like a superhero! Both Sanses were.
“IT’S FINE. IS… IS EVERYTHING ALRIGHT HERE?” Blueberry regarded the Golden Sans’s grip on the Sans with a brush. Oh dear, so many Sanses. Someone who wasn’t as brilliant as Papyrus might not be able to follow!
“Uh, yep!” The golden Sans smiled, but he looked a bit too stressed. The brush Sans, however, snapped his full attention to Papyrus. His eyelights bounced between color and shapes before finally landing on a bright sky-blue shaped as a triangle and a Royal purple as a star.
“HELLO!!!!! I’m Ink!!!!” Ink struggled out of the gold Sans’s gasp and bounced overs to Papyrus. It was disturbing how little he resembled Papyrus’s brother. “I’m the protector of the Multiverse!! You’re Classic Paps, right?!” Ink grinned wildly as Papyrus avoided cringing.
“HELLO, INK. PLEASE DON’T CALL ME PAPS, OR CLASSIC FOR THAT MATTER. BUT WOWIE, PROTECTOR OF THE MULTIVERSE SOUNDS LIKE SUCH A BIG JOB!” Papyrus couldn’t help but be in awe of Ink’s title. It sounded more important than Head of the Royal Guard. Ink’s grin grew and his purple eyelight turned yellow. He looked like he was about to respond, but the gold Sans cut him off.
“Yep, super big job, which is why he has us to keep him on track. Anyways, hello, my name is Dream. I’m the guardian of positivity. If you don’t want us calling you Classic, what should we call you?” Dream kept his smile up, but he looked exhausted.
“HE WANTS TO BE CALLED COOL GUY.” Blueberry announced. Dream managed to look more worn out before responding.
“That’s… a fun nickname. But this needs to be like a substitute for your real name? Just, please pick something different.” Dream sounded incredibly firm, and Papyrus didn’t want to wear him out anymore. So he listened.
“WHAT ABOUT COOL BONES?” Papyrus’s smile faltered as Dream’s eyelights flickered out.
“Papyrus, please, be serious.” Papyrus had been serious, but he decided not to mention it. “Just- here, think about our names for a moment? Ink, Blue, Dream,” Dream pause, looking up at Papyrus hopefully. Papyrus did his best to reconsider. He could find an alternate version of his name? Translate it into another language perhaps. There was also the history of the word itself, which he and Sans had searched up late one brotherly bonding night. While the word papyrus is a plant, it’s also a form of paper in Ancient Egypt. Paper has simply so many uses, and it’s so incredibly important (and obnoxiously underrated). The Great Papyrus wouldn’t mind being called Paper.
“I CAN BE PAPER!” He offered, and Dream relaxed into a more genuine smile.
“Oooh!!! Like the paper to my ink!!!” Ink grinned, absolutely delighted.
“No, actually-“ Papyrus (Paper?) tried to correct him. With all the meaning behind his choice, he wanted to give it the proper glory.
“WELCOME TO THE STAR SANSES, PAPER!!!” Blueberry said, cutting Papyrus off. He tried to place his hand on Papyrus’s shoulder, but after discovering he couldn’t reach Blueberry settled for patting Papyrus’s back.
“THANK YOU NEW FRIEND!!” Papyrus widened his smile, reveling in the fact that he had made not one, not two, but THREE new friends in less than an hour. He couldn’t wait to tell his brother.
“NOW THAT WE’VE GOT THAT OUT OF THE WAY,” Blueberry said, “I HAVE TO HEAD HOME, ALPHYS IS EXPECTING ME. GOOD LUCK PAPER!” Blueberry threw a glance at Dream, then he lit up with the same golden hue as last time and disappeared. Ink’s eyelights flashed to a different color as he focused again on Papyrus, who had noticed by now that Ink’s attention was short and his focus quickly shifted.
“So, buddy, what do you wanna do now?” Ink leaned forward, almost as if bowing, and he bounced a little on his heels before performing some kind of trick jump and landing on an island floating a few feet up. He was now roughly at Papyrus’s socket-level.
“We tell Papyrus how this is going to go.” Dream said, cutting Ink off. Ink frowned, one eyelight flipping to a purple question mark while the other changed to a dim reddish-orange square.
“WHAT DO YOU MEAN?” Papyrus wiggled his fingers, the fabric of his gloves rubbing. Dream sounded awfully serious, a stark contrast to Ink’s carefree nature.
“Blue’s already learned how to deal with… the Bad Sanses. Since we already know what does and doesn’t work, I’d rather skip the hard-learned lessons.” Dream gave a weak smile at the end, while Ink stuck out a rainbow colored tongue, nearly pouting.
“...WHAT MIGHT THOSE BE?” Papyrus began to worry for the first time since he accepted Blueberry’s offer.
“First of all, Blue’s already tried speeches.”
“MAYBE THEY JUST NEED MORE, OR HE HASN’T FOUND THE RIGHT ONE!” Papyrus said. Dream winced.
“Maybe, but we don’t have the time to give the speeches, and more often than not the Bad Sanses don’t even listen, they murder while you talk.” Dream said, the spot where his eyebrows would be tilting up.
“MURDER?” Papyrus faltered.
“Did Blue forget to tell you?” Ink asked. He had plopped down and was lying on his back with his skull dangling off his island, looking far too relaxed.
“TELL ME WHAT.” Papyrus didn’t want to guess this time. Dust isn’t a puzzle he ever wanted to solve.
“Our role as Guardians of the Multiverse is to protect timelines from being destroyed. The way that happens is the Bad Sanses wipe through the entire Underground, killing anyone and everyone they meet. Once they’ve killed enough, the timeline is unstable enough for them to destroy it directly.” Dream sighed, his shoulders slumping.
“Or so we think. Timelines are weird, and there could be a whole slew of reasons for how things work!! It’s really interesting. I’ve been wanting to study it all but- OOH A BUTTERFLY!!!” Ink said, jumping up to chase the shiny indigo insect. Even though Ink didn’t finish his sentence, Papyrus could get a sense of why he wasn’t learning anything. Ignoring the eccentric skeleton, Dream just looked sad. He was staring down at the ground, one hand wrapped tightly around the fabric above his SOUL.
“WHAT HAPPENS IF WE DON’T GET THERE IN TIME?” Papyrus tried to say it softly, but he could never figure out how to speak in lowercase. At least it still sounded caring.
“The entire timeline dies.” Dream sighed. He looked up, finally seeing Papyrus’s expression. “Ah! Don’t worry though!! We win a lot!! I’m just trying to explain why I need you to listen to me!!” Dream waved his hands about, trying to dispel the dark mood that had settled.
“THAT’S ALRIGHT. YOU WERE BEING HONEST. IT’S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND ALL OF THE PIECES OF OUR JOB. I’M GLAD YOU TOLD ME.” Papyrus crouched so as to come eye to eye with Dream. He used this tactic with his brother whenever Sans was upset. Papyrus had found that it’s easier to talk to someone who’s right there with you. Papyrus reached out his gloved hands, and wrapped the bright, cheery red around Dream’s hands. Papyrus realized for the first time that Dream wore gloves too. Maybe he was a swapped version of Papyrus like Blueberry. Papyrus made a note to ask him later, when he was feeling better.
“Thank you, Paper.” Dream took a deep breath before continuing. “We pride ourselves in not killing anyone, ever. Not even the Bad Sanses. A tactic we like to use is trapping them. Blueberry does that the most, because he has the most magic to spare, so you’ll be using a lot of blue magic. Is that ok?”
“ABSOLUTELY!! I HAVE FANTASTIC CONTROL OF MY MAGIC, YOU DON’T NEED TO WORRY.”
“The butterfly flew away.” Ink said, butting in. He had a pout again. Papyrus leaned toward Dream a little and whispered to him.
“DOES… DOES HE PAY ATTENTION ENOUGH TO NOT GET HURT?” Papyrus was genuinely worried, but Dream burst out laughing. His grin widened as he turned toward Ink, who had begun to… eat… grass..?
“Most of the time.” Dream said, not particularly reassuring.

The reason why Morgan can read the minds of some people better than others varies on a couple different things. More than once I’ve asked myself (as I’m sure some of my mutuals have wondered) “well, Morgan can read minds can’t she just read their mind and azxscdfghnbgvfcdxsaz” because in the roleplaying community, that would be what we call “godmodding” and to make everything that easy in fiction is “boring”.
It’s harder to read someone’s mind especially if they have some sort of psychic powers themselves or some sort of magical mental barriers about them. The stronger the magic or magical force, the stronger the powers, the easier it would be to block out Morgan’s signal/her trying to read their mind or throw her subconscious out of their mind entirely. So how magical a being is and what their capabilities are is definitely a factor.
Another reason why it may be harder for her to read someone’s mind and/or thoughts is if she’s under the influence of something that inhibits her mental capacity to think or focus such as increased stress, trauma sleep deprivation, alcohol, or narcotics. Some psychics, like Michael (her brother) for instance, their powers could actually get a potential boosts from ingesting certain substances like cocaine or ecstasy because those drugs are known to flood the brain with excessive dopamine. In my canon, excess of certain chemicals in the brain are known to interact with a psychic’s powers one way or the other, similarly to how someone and another person would react to ingesting certain substances based on their different body chemistries and how they “handle”, for lack of a better term, said substances.
And finally, I wholeheartedly believe there are some individuals out there (in Morgan’s canon) whether they be human or non human, magical or non-magical, some people’s subconsciousness work differently than others. It sounds like a perfect science but really, it’s extremely complicated to try and find reasoning behind. Some humans may be better at guarding their thoughts than others, and they would never even know it if someone who knew better didn’t tell them. Some magical creatures, such as a new vampire versus an old vampire, may guard their thoughts differently from how they might have at the beginning of their magical lifecycle than later on in time. Like all things, learning how to guard one’s thoughts can come easier to some than it would others, just as how some people may have more of a natural inclination to such a talent than those who’s minds are like an open book to psychics like Morgan and Michael.
In conclusion, there really is no concrete answer to why Morgan can read some people’s minds easier than others, because everyone person and every one supernatural’s mind/brain is different from the next from a myriad of different reasons. As a young witch, learning how to cope with her abilities, instead of learning how she CAN read people’s minds and gaud her own thoughts as a matter of fact/black-and-white/”here’s how you do this”, Morgan’s teachings were focused on what her own personal powers are capable of achieving and going on from there. It’s literally like she had to learn about a whole new playing field, a whole new dimension where things such as internal thoughts and dreams took form and she had to navigate where what went and who it went to.
I think the best way to think of it is: internal thoughts and individual minds are like fish, Morgan/her powers are like a fishing pole, and the ocean where one’s cognitive behavior exists is invisible to all except a few gifted individuals (psychics like Morgan and Michael) and that sole person specifically who the thoughts and the mind belongs to (the host). Some fish, are just easier to catch and closer to the surface than others.

I unfollowed @biggest-gaudiest-patronuses a while ago bc their following and the way they interacted with them made me a bit uncomfortable (kinda objectifying and deifying them), and seeing bullying stresses me out, and since have half-believed some terrible claims made about them—since I no longer had them on my blog to see what's actually going on in real time.
I refollowed again because I do keep seeing their posts and the toxic following interactions seem a bit more managed (people really should be more careful about how they interact online when they get a following, just in general), so it's cool again.
Of course, the bullshit still shows up, and I'm seeing the contradictions again.
Guys... they're a person. They're a decent person. Literally just a person, often saying good things and being incredibly lucky and unlucky with this platform.
They're against the post+ bullshit but I've seen some people joking about them taking advantage of it. They don't like paywalls. They've been pretty clear about that, but they're also just talked about so much that through a Tumblr-wide game of telephone their character has become some kind of evil capitalist, but also a lazy poor who won't get a job? I have some idea of their financial situation from their posts, but it's none of my business really. They're not swindling people.
There are actually terrible, awful people on this website, and others, who actually hurt people. There's at least one whole facet of this website that indoctrinates children into actual hate groups.
Legit we've been seeing the passive bullying and ignoring it because we don't want to get attention or attacked for "drama." Recently we recognized that we've also toned down the direct support of marginalized people we used to throw out all the time because of mild harassment. We're terrified of it. That's awful. (Pan lesbian rights, fuck you.)
Just... treat people as people, okay? Cancel culture doesn't exist, but the term muddies and blurs the line between influential people doing awful things and getting paid for the attention, and people who care about things and regret making mistakes getting bullied. Not "canceled," just bullied. (Yet another reason the term is bullshit and damaging.)
I'm not gonna talk to anyone about this. Learn the difference between fucking with someone and reacting to harm.
If Gaud sees this (obvi gets lots of notifs), I'm glad it seems like you're drawing more/better lines than you used to. I hope people give it up someday. Like I said, I won't talk to anyone about this. I'm still very cautious about contributing to discussions about PEOPLE who aren't hurting anyone.

Tbh the controversy is..fairly blown out of proportions considering it happened years ago and somehow people are still on them about it, I don’t know everything about it but it just,,seems ridiculous to me considering they’d apologized for anything bad they’d done and actively have changed for the better. Also most people who’ve tried ‘calling them out’ usually claim Gaud’s faking their autism, which as an autistic person myself is…yikes. I’m not even like a fan of Gaud or anything, they just make an occasional haha funny post, but I just think the whole ‘you do something bad and you’re a bad person forever and should die’ culture tumblr has is…terrifying.
Also the whole ‘anti’ thing isn’t wrong cuz the whole movement is built on suicide-baiting and doxxing people for writing fiction (they’re also very unaware of the past censorship fandom was subjected to regarding lgbt and poc fics, which is very scary considering they want to bring that kind of censorship back without knowing what it’d actually do.) Not saying ‘proshippers’ aren’t bad either (I don’t consider myself either), hell I’ve seen a lot of outright nasty ones, but a lot are against censorship and harassment. People should idk, block and curate their experiences instead of trying to purge everything.
Yeah I think a lot of the culture on tumblr of like harassing people basically can be quite bad :/ I’ve heard a lot of really bad things I’m ngl, but IDK how much is true and I think people would benefit from just like blocking people at this point. I block most TERFs for example.

Is it stupid to say I see you as almost the "Gaud" of meguca blogs?
It’s not stupid but it does put me on a pedestal I do not deserve!!! There are a ton of excellent MagiReco/PMMM blogs that are better than me!! I’m just really loud and make tons of posts to spam the tag with!!!
I am a dumb loud person with bad takes but a big megaphone and the hyperfocus to never compromise on talking about what is REALLY important in life: magical girl jpgs.
Like here is a list of really good magireco blogs:
@dendylabyrinth with their their interesting perspectives, thoughts, and headcanons that they bring to the table
@cluelessmahou who has great and funny posts and often makes me laugh
@snaamagica who has a nice catalogue of reblogged content along with excellent commentary interspersed between. I still love the post she made about Iroha being an interesting character
@doppel-drop-distance who is a good friend and a good writer who brings an earnest energy to everything that makes me excited to see what she makes
@saltylords who has really neat perspective posts. I like seeing their updates
@magical-girl-hell who is a breath of positive fresh air and has interesting thoughts on the series
@dragonlapis who always has something interesting in the tag and I adore her creativity
@silvermoon424 who is another force of positivity and has a great blog for sailor moon content too.
@sayaka-mikis-fire-extinguisher who is hilarious and amazing and posts I look forward to
@ecasts-art who has made some of the best Oriko content on the internet
@a-magical-artist who draws incredible fanart and did all of those free requests for folks when the NA servers shut down. Massive respect.
@magical-girl-polaris who has really cool art that it super cool (I love their Kyoko protecting Mami piece) and also has the best star in their username
@agstudio9 / @automatic-purification-system who has some INCREDIBLE artwork, godo posts, and is a very supportive person in general
@leafbladie Who helped me with recording so many quote videos, MSS videos for girls I didn’t have, and gave me so much advice when I first started to write the memoria blog. He led the Ashley Taylor fanzine and seeing all that creativity, art, writing... it was a good sendoff that may have made me cry.
@thefairywithdrawings who is an excellent person with the BEST outfit edits (seriously her Ryo edit is probably my favorite magical girl design ever, not just for magireco but just in general)
@garr9988 who asks really good questions, knows a ton about lore and has good opinions.
Oh man there are way more and I promise that if I left you off here it’s not because I dislike you or forgot you, this is just getting a bit long. Also, there are a ton of quiet blogs who don’t post in the tag but will INSTANTLY LIKE stuff that’s posted. Even if you guys don’t leave replies or reblog stuff, the fact that you interact with it at all as a way of saying “I see this and appreciate you” makes you the backbone of this community.
But yeah, one thing I like about this fandom is that I’ve made so many good friends here. Opening the tag feels like a group chat because this community is so small. I’m not the big dude of this community, like I said I just talk A LOT.
Also I want to reiterate that if you post a lot and I didn’t mention you, I’m sorry, It’s not a slight against you I promise I just can’t spend the next seven hours writing usernames and summarizing stuff ;_;

Hey Gaud, I hate to ask this as it almost feels wrong or insulting to do so but I feel that I might have ADD, one of my friends with diagnosed ADD pointed out to me that I have alot of the issues and habits he has and jokingly made the conclusion that I do to This freaked me out though and I started doing research and the more info I gathered, the more scared I was I don't want to tell my parents as my mother would'nt care/believe me and I don't want to burden my dad What should I do?
(I believe it's now just called ADHD.) I recommend that you type 'actuallyadhd' (I believe that's the tag but there may be a better one) in the Tumblr search bar and start reading those posts and learning more. also look through and follow blogs of people writing about their ADHD experiences, and reach out if you see someone answering questions; maybe they can answer yours. These are the first steps to accessing a support system of other ADHD bloggers & resources, and figuring out your next step.
I won't be able to answer many more ADHD/Autism questions today, so if you've got questions or can provide insight, feel free to start a dialogue in the notes.
