Rayni (open discussion post)

as some of you may have heard/seen I am Rayni Aria's biggest goddamn hater

I can't stand her ass

I recently read/listened through Stellarlune for the first time and I hated her the moment I met her. Yes I know the ending of Legacy, I know how it all flows

But I Still can't stand her

Why? Because she is a literal blob of nothingness on the page

Spoilers for Stellarlune

Rayni Aria is a character who was once the Neverseen member Glimmer (dumbass name btw) who, allegedly was involved with none of the Neverseen's major plots so far; The Kidnapping of Sophie and Dex, their torture, jumping Sophie, Keefe, and Silveny in Exile, Mt Everest, the gnomes etc etc etc

Allegedly she's had zero part in any of that because they just stick her in a corner and even when Gisela was overthrown she still didn't do diddly squat, she just read medical books. Sure. Okay

Her life previous to joining terrorists willingly was she was just a normal girl with a normal life until people started to whisper speculations about her parents' relationship not being all of what it says on the tin. Her parents are found guilty of messing with the match system to be together and avoid a Bad Match status and are made an example of by banishment But Rayni isn't banished with them as instead her parents leave her with a note and are never heard from again Rayni drops out of Foxfire and lives in a rented room in Mysterium until Gisela finds her and tell her to quit her unemployment and join her emo band Cool, alright. Mid and extremely questionable loyalties. So you'll just go with whoever reaches out their hand first. Good to know

Beyond her frankly uninteresting backstory Rayni's personality is the exact same cookie cutter cardboard cutout mean girl leave no coughed insults unspoke persona that is so old and over used I think Shannon might've actually managed to resuscitate this dead horse. Rayni whines and bitches about how 'no one will trust her' but does absolutely nothing to win herself any favors. Instead she seems more than chipper to keep digging at her own grave so why dont we just drop this whole pointless scene and let her keep on going at it She's boring. She's bland. She's lame. And don't get me started on the weird cat lamp thing I don't know if Shannon was going for 'oh look she likes cats' or 'boo hoo she's so broken and jaded an this lamp is the one thing that lights up her dark dark soul'.

Rayni is weird, her vibes are just so off and so lack luster. Her depth is so shallow I couldn't even soak up a puddle of it with a napkin.

What's the point of bring in a bad guy now good guy/anti hero if all they do is snark in the corner, pet a cat statue, watch the protagonist do jack diddly squat and be like "oh yeah, you're a leader now" girl what??? That entire scene where Rayni unmasks herself was so boring if I cut out the only other emotion I felt while listening which was annoyance. I listened and live reacted to it on discord with some friends as my witness and what even was that scene? Tam is supposedly the one holding the talking stick in the group I guess just because he and Rayni are just such good buds so obviously he should take point (cause no one thinks he's brainwashed) and the entire time Rayni bicthes and moans about how no one trusts her (girl you're wearing a stinky, smelly, raggedy terrorist hood. You couldn't ask to trade it for a less stinky less terrorist embroidered one?) and while yeah people poke holes at her and take small jabs Rayni really seems gung ho with tossing playground responses with 14-16 year olds at her grown ass age. She's one year younger than Wyile and while young adults in their 19/20s arent mature at all it is CRAZY to me that she bitches about no one trusting her and then turns and calls Fitz Sophie's "telepath back-up" I believe the correct quote is "You're basically Sophie's telepath backup" and this is said to Fitz and that was just the most absurd thing I've ever fucking heard spoken by Gisela's fucking lapdog. Fitz is done so dirty in this book and Rayni basically calls Fitz a "backup" like he's a damn battery or some waterboy Sophie only needs to use like an object. The worst part isn't that its the bad guy's lapdog with questionable loyalties that says this. Its the fact that no one stood up for Fitz. No one said anything. And Sophie fucking laughed. She laughed at that. And Fitz is the only one to blame for their fucked up cognate bond, sure. (Biana, FITZ'S FUCKING SISTER also says and does nothing because Biana is just a little poster Shannon sticks on the wall this whole book)

And not to mention that whole bit with Rayni constantly comparing her and Stina as if they're different faces on the same coin. Like you can't sit there in your terrorist onesie and look someone in the face and be like "Yeah your life is gonna be just like mine. Just you wait. It's coming for you. And then, yeah, you'll be just like me. Huff Huff" and then get mad when she doesn't like you in the slightest. Like yeah, I just love sitting in the same room as someone who tells me my life has a timer on my happy days because we're totes twinsies. Shannon should've let Stina punch Rayni because if this snarky little bug really wanted some damn allies wouldn't she want Stina on her side? You know, the most outspoken nay sayer in all of the Lost Cities? If you're gonna bring up your little Gisela Mini-Me act get good Circus-Circus.

If I wanna like Rayni I need more depth than Miss Hardknock Life over here who gets her kicks out of throwing tantrums when people dont trust her while she wears a terrorist hood and gets her kicks out of replying to every petty response.

If I could, I'd rewrite that whole scene because I genuinely love big groups in books and it would be fun to see a diverse group personality wise instead of the same 'bad bitch' boring outline. I can't believe Rayni's 'tough' personality is a facade because she's not just tough to trust. She's tough to want in any way shape or form She's not Heather Chandler, She's not even Heather Duke, she could never even dream of being Regina Georgie. She's so 2D she flies away with a tiny sigh. The whole book could've honestly been the exact same without Rayni around. Erase her and simply have Trix reach out on his own or something and you still have the Esilyum plot intact. Rayni was just there to make a page count for nothing of any great importance.

That's just what I think of Rayni. She annoys, bores, and pisses me off. She's like the physical embodiment of an Instagram comment section. If yall want, please tell me what you think about her because I genuinely want to know what makes her even the slightest bit interesting to any of you. I like headcanons and I can be convince to take a lot of them. Will my opinion on canon Rayni change? Who knows man

Yet another 4am staring at the phone

[bluephoric]

ridiculously long list of larry johnson hcs because fuck you he doesnt get enough love

Tw for depressing ass shit

- larry is a tired clumsy airhead, and as a result he always has SOMETHING spilled, wiped, or drawn on his clothes.

- undiagnosed adhd, and probably a few other things

- both him and sal collect bottlecaps, they like to make pins out of cool ones they find, often trading them like pokemon cards. they have multiple matching friendship ones. on common ones though, he likes to flatten and paint.

- larry's mental health generally sucks, but when things get really bad he stops caring about his physical safety, often pulling some reckless shit. even when he gets hurt from it, he doesnt seem to mind. Times like these kinda scare him, and he tries to avoid falling into them.

- despite seemingly "not caring about anything" (as he puts it) during these episodes, he's still fiercely protective of his friends and tries to be gentle with them, both physically and emotionally.

- callused hands, fingers yellowed from smoking.

- big fan of gas stations when he's high, practically raids that shit. one of his nicknames is "stoner jesus"

- he's openly bisexual and flirts with random people for fun. its usually something light. dorky pickup lines, stupid puns.. he Never expects it to be shot back at him but on the rare occasion it happens, he turns into a giggling mess.

- he actually pissed off travis even worse a few times with it, I could go into it further but this isnt a larvis post so i'll spare you all. For now.

- his favorite horror movies are the funny ones

- he isnt much of a drinker, mostly around holidays and just to get a little buzzed. spiked eggnog and fireball are his go-to's. Drunk christmas karaoke is one of his favorite things (he's constantly giving sal secondhand embarrassment). 2 words, mariah carrey.

- For awhile he genuinely tried to be a good student but because he was so far behind and his undiagnosed adhd, the teachers started to demonize him. Eventually he realized it didnt matter how hard he tried, so he just gave up. The only subject he likes is art, so that's where he focuses all his energy and actually tries.

- skips school sometimes but lisa tends to give him hell for it so he tries not to do it too often, mostly just skips certain classes if hes really not feeling it.

- almost always comes to school high

- his room is such a mess. sal tries to help him with it but he has similar struggles. whenever ash or todd come over, it becomes a group effort and shit gets done rather quickly. luckily no biohazards, so its not like his room really needs a DEEP clean but still. its nice.

- larry fucking LOVES jack black movies, also stupid stoner movies.

- Loves the arcade too, You'd think his favorite would be guitar hero, but that's more for sal. his favorite is mortal combat or those car racing games that you sit in with the steering wheel.

- larry cant cook for shit, hes always burning something, it always turns out gross and inedible. unless he's stoned, in which case he magically turns into a michelin star chef. weird ass combinations, but it always turns out really good.

- despite being shit at cooking, he still tries to help his mom with it, even though he mostly ends up just being in the way and she eventually shoos him out of the kitchen

- he smells super musky, with cheap cologne and the faint scent of weed

- when he was really little, he had a dinosaur onsie that he would wear everywhere, very rarely taking it off until it started to get too tight. he was beyond devastated when he realized he grew out of it, lisa had to pry it away from him in fear that he would accidentally destroy it. She keeps it in her closet collecting dust. Its one of the few things she kept from before jim disappeared. despite it bringing up memories of what things used to be like before he "left", she couldnt bear to throw it out.

- sometimes when larry needs comfort, he sneaks into her room and steals it temporarily. on sleepless nights, he zips it over his pillows as a makeshift pillowcase, its one of the few things that help him relax. It's always put back in place by the next morning. Lisa has no idea, and he's far too embarrassed about it to say anything to her.

- the only person who knows about this is sal because of their sleepovers. One night He was high as balls and got paranoid, when he tried to sleep it off the fear was just too much so away he crept, into lisa's room. Of course he made sal come with him, he sure as shit wasnt going alone.

- when questioned about it, larry refused to answer and so sal let it go figuring he would tell him when he was ready.

- Larry Harbors an obscene amount of guilt. struggles with sh off and on, tries not to relapse unless things get really unbearable. to prevent this, him and the SF gang (primarily ash) regularly doodle and sometimes paint on the places he's prone to harm.

- when he can feel himself slipping into an episode, larry makes it a point to braid his hair so it won't get matted. tries to brush it and rebraid it at least once a week, but often struggles to find the energy and lets it sit in for longer. Not to mention, a lot of the times he stops showering which makes it even harder to braid because of the greasiness.

- has given himself a few amateur stick and pokes. They look like shit, and he knows it but he's still very proud of them.

- the ink he uses for it fades pretty fast

- he's also tried to give himself piercings, but always fucks it up so he takes them out and slaps a bandaid over it

- collects different kinds of flavored chapstick, takes a bite out of them sometimes when he thinks no one is looking (ofc sal has caught him a few times but has never said anything)

- after he first met megan, he was scared shitless. slept with the lights on for the next few weeks and refused to shut the door when going to the bathroom, insisting to his mom on keeping the shower curtain open at all times (he tried to act chill about it around sal and it kinda worked. kinda.) after awhile he eventually calmed down but still finds himself getting really nervous whenever him and sal talk to a ghost, though he would never admit it.

- has a picture of his dad in a locket but rarely wears it because he's afraid he'll accidentally break it. always keeps it with him though, usually in his pocket, holding it as he walks.

- Despite his general demeanor he's quite the gentleman, always holding doors open and really courteous towards women. Most people don't expect it just based on his appearance, but Lisa raised him right.

- also he's hot as fuck.

- we all know larry is a metalhead, but what kind of metal is his favorite? It generally depends on his mood but id say sludge, thrash, and doom.

- You're telling me this man, who is depressed as fuck and also a stoner wouldnt eat up some electric wizard? saint vitus? bitch, please. I know quite a few albums that would bring him to his knees.

- And I know I'm prolly gonna get hate for this but I notice when a lot of other people write about larry (AND sal), they tend to lean towards nu metal or just plain emo. And while I don't think either of them would mind it, The lyrics and vocals of Sanity's fall feels more reminiscent of death or black metal and given the fact that SF is his favorite band, I don't think he would listen to that kind of stuff, at least not on a regular basis. Ash on the other hand definitely would.

*A pitbull trots up to you and lays his head on your counter. As you pet his head he huffs and purple smoke comes from his breath. It swirls into fairy with flaming purple hair and wings to match. *

Okay, so you know how it's fanon that being exposed to enough ectoplasm can make someone liminal, right?

And in my head canon being liminal means you have a small ghost core, which initials have a small obsession.

IE Jazz-Psychiatry, Sam-Goth/Vegan, Tucker-Technology and basically all of Amity Park.

And basically all of the bats dance with death on a semi-regular basis.

So they all have been exposed to ectoplasm enough to have their own cores.

But what are their obsessions I hear you ask?

Well, let me tell you!!

Batman/Bruce Wayne- Justice

This one is pretty obvious. It's the whole reason he put on the mask. But it's also the reason he doesn't kill or use guns. When Jason died Bruce Couldn't kill Joker. I went against his obsession.

Nightwing/Dick Grayson- Fun

This one is a bit more mellow compared to the rest of the bats, but I figured it suited him the best because he's the oldest and basically the Jack Frost of the group.

Red Hood/Jason Todd- Home

Now you may be thinking "why not revenge or sticking it to the bat?" Well dear friend, let me tell you!! Jason's obsession has been corrupted by the pit. Argo, rage. I'll expound on this more if you want, but I figured the rest is context clues.

Red Robin/Tim Drake- Robin

Tim is obsession is being the perfect robin. Even if he takes up another mantle. He is the Jack of all trades and basically Bruce's platonic soulmate. But also idk, I feel like he's could have a better one.

Robin/Damian Wayne- Protection

Damian's obsession is similar to Danny's in a way, but instead of him protecting a place he protects the weak. That is why he likes being Robin and also why he collects animals like pokemon.

*a small commotion is heard outside*

I know there is more birds I could list but I better hit the road. Here's a bag of teeth for your troubles!!

*the pitbull jumps, grabs the fairy in his mouth, and runs out the door. A legion of tooth fairies are seen chasing after him.*

SO LONG SUCKERS!!!!!

aaaa what a good dog I'm love <3333 oh man I love all of these takes sm!

[cerame]

heehoo i loke your Links, stuff abt them plz??

Oh hi! Sorry I didn’t get to this sooner! I didn’t check my tumblr for a hot second oops

But yes I’d love to talk about them! For botw/totk Link, I’m waiting to actually buy and play the game before I fully solidify him. I’ll give a brief rundown of each of them here, but feel free to ask more about any specific Link :)

Skyward Sword:

Tired in multiple ways. He was more carefree before the start of his adventure, but there are a lot of reasons to be concerned about these days, especially when you’re babysitting your reincarnations, some of which are older than you

That’s not to say he doesn’t know how to chill out and sit back. Given permission, he will instantly drop all responsibilities on whoever is left to deal with it

23 y/o

Huge sweetheart once you get him to stop worrying about things

Potential nicknames: Cloudy, Floater, Feathers

Minish Cap/Four Swords/Four Swords Adventures

I have an explanation for the timeline nonsense I swear. Don’t worry about it

Generally friendly, enthusiastic, and thoughtful, but he has his moments of absolute impulse. Knows far more than he should… probably. He very much enjoys being mysterious just because he’s a little gremlin

He hates being timed

20 y/o

Potential nicknames: Forge, Smith, Mini

Is currently undergoing a redesign

Ocarina of Time/Majora’s Mask

He’s in his edgy teen phase. Moody and has disdain for authority, but he’s still got that undeniable kindness in him. Avoids attachment but just can’t help himself

Mostly homeless, as he’s usually traveling, but he’s always got a home at Lon Lon Ranch with his friend Malon. Kakariko likes him, too.

17 y/o

Potential nicknames: Mask, Eyepatch, Sapling

A Link to the Past/the Oracle games/Link’s Awakening

Most people’s first impressions of him are that he’s quite untrusting and melancholy and that he’s very competent. Once he gets used to someone, though, he’ll open up and mess with them like an annoying sibling. Very clever, knowledgeable, and a jack of all trades. Curiosity will be his downfall

Helps his Uncle run the apple orchard. Has expanded it into farming berries as well

17 y/o

Potential nicknames: Collector, Cartographer, Pinky, Apples

A Link Between Worlds/Triforce Heroes

Very cheerful and friendly. Highly skilled in the arts, though he hasn’t had the chance to mess with yarnwork yet. Low self-esteem but only expresses it in the most concerningly casual ways

Fantastic liar. He fully blames Ravio for this

19 y/o

Potential nicknames: Artisan, Painter, Mirror

Zelda 1/Adventure of Link

At first glance, he is already done with everyone's bullcrap, but really he's a very patient and considerate guy. He is incredibly blunt about things, though. Not as suspicious of people as he probably should be, but hey, what's one more crazy thing happening?

Loves discovering new things. Has a soft spot for soft things like pillows and fairies. Tone deaf.

21 y/o

Potential nicknames: Mage, Explorer, Adventurer, Calatian

Twilight Princess

Generally quiet and reserved but will step in when he deems it necessary. Skilled at keeping the group wrangled. He is fiercely protective of his loved ones and is not as responsible as he comes off as

Doesn't turn into a wolf often. Alternates between helping out Mayor Bo with Ordon and taking commissions for the Resistance

24 y/o

Potential nicknames: Goatherd, Farmer

Wind Waker/Phantom Hourglass

Friendly in a loud, boisterous sort of way, but when it comes down to it, he can quiet down and become reliable and responsible if he needs to. Fairly easygoing until he sets his mind onto something, in which case, he's going to accomplish his goals one way or another

Finds the others while mapping out the new continent, so for all intents and purposes, he basically goes missing. Does not like birds.

27 y/o

Potential nicknames: Pirate, Sailor, Sea Dog

Spirit Tracks

usually soft-spoken and polite, but will get a bit louder the more comfortable he is. Much better at puzzles and mechanics than swordfighting. Still works as a royal engineer and is good friends with his Zelda

He sees dead people :/

15 y/o

Potential nicknames: Engineer, Piper, Steam, Conductor

Hyrule Warriors

snarky in a friendly way and will joke around to lighten the mood, but he can be perfectly serious when he needs to be. A natural and skillful leader. Loves kids and dabbles in fashion

Regrets that he has to leave his era’s Hyrule because he’s got a duty to the kingdom, but his Zelda insisted that he went. After all, he’s got his duty as a hero, too

32 y/o

Potential nicknames: Commander, Sir, Ser

Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom

very honest with his emotions and thoughts, and he will habitually go off and do things on his own without waiting for anyone else. Doesn't quite understand social conventions

Thought the others were either very creative yiga or very lost travelers when he first met them

20 y/o

Potential nicknames: Archer, Survivalist, Champion

[hyenahunt]

Obbligato: The Punishment of Kaname Tojo - 12

Writer: Akira

Season: Spring, two years ago

Characters: ???, Ibara

Proofreading: Remi + 310mc (JP) & Skyress (ENG)

Translation: Peace

???: (However, innocence is not a sin. My little brother, Kaname, has done nothing wrong.)

[Read on my blog for the best viewing experience with Oi~ssu ♪]

???: (However, innocence is not a sin. My little brother, Kaname, has done nothing wrong.)

(Despite that, ever since he was born, he has faced unreasonable discrimination. He's shunned by those higher than him in the industry due to violating a taboo— )

(He has done nothing wrong, yet he has fallen so far.)

(He was a brother I’d never spoken to before. And I pitied him.)

(Fortunately, I had skills and wisdom. I had to acquire both in order to survive when I'd left home.)

(And now, I could use them to help my little brother.)

(After all, I had always made a living by disguising myself as a jack-of-all-trades, and my client this time just so happened to be a family member.)

(I didn't accept it for my father's sake. I wanted to help my poor younger brother.)

???: (For his sake, I learned as much as I could about something so particular to Japan, so foreign to those overseas — I learned all that there was to know about idols, which was akin to inscrutable faith.)

(Once I had learned enough, I offered my hand to Kaname. So long as he heeded my instruction, he'd be able to bloom anew as a wonderful idol.)

(Or, that was what should have happened.)

... What is this? What is he doing? Do you know anything about this?

Ibara: Perhaps, perhaps not? If I'm to be honest, even I'm taken back by this series of events!

This gathering was organised by Mr. HiMERU and his associate, funded out of their own pockets. It has nothing to do with idol work — it appears the students are gathering entirely of their own accord.

As I have various other projects on my hands, there is no way for me to keep a constant eye on the developments within Reimei Academy, please understand.

Ibara: As a result, my response to independent activities such as this has been rather delayed.

Were this an official idol activity, or work-related, then I would have been able to detect it early on from tells such as bank account activity and so forth.

Which is why I was late to become aware of even the movements of the gatherings within the Catacombs.

Were it not for that, then I would have stepped in to put a halt to things the moment Mr. Tatsumi Kazehaya began to build his suspicious religious cult-like group. After all, religion cannot be suppressed, which makes it far outside my field of expertise.

I thought we'd finally gotten a hold on that religion by way of giving them work and incorporating capitalism into the mix...

But this gathering truly was unexpected. I wonder what they're meeting about?

???: Hm. Then you and I are the same; I also came to see what, exactly, was going on.

Ibara: Oh, I’ve already made an educated guess on what might happen next, you know? However this came about, I’ve certainly predicted its conclusion!

The leaders of opposing powers meet, showing their solidarity by way of shaking hands in public. In this case, those leaders would be Mr. Tatsumi Kazehaya and Mr. HiMERU.

By doing so, they will strike down the long-standing feud between their two factions.

An era of peace shall descend upon Reimei Academy.

A-ha-ha! ☆ How magnificent! It'll end as happily as a fairy tale!

Ibara: ... But unfortunately, reality isn't so sweet.

The students of Reimei Academy have already fallen prey to the anger and hatred that have accumulated throughout their lives.

Towards those that they detest with all their being, they’re unable to sweep it all under the rug, and allow bygones be bygones.

Ibara: Well, if they did all band together as friends, then I'd be in something of a pickle myself! Mr. Tatsumi Kazehaya's ideology and capitalism don't mix well, after all. It sufficiently counters the latter.

That's no way to run a business, you see? I'm against the idea entirely.

The plan was to force him out of Reimei Academy entirely by pushing an unreasonable amount of expectations onto him, so much that his well-being would falter and he would drop out...

But unfortunately, it would seem Mr. Tatsumi Kazehaya is stronger than expected. Not once did he break, falter, or give in. Instead, he's done the opposite: no matter how persecuted he becomes, he only rises again and again from the ashes akin to a phoenix.

What a nuisance... Though at the same time, I do respect it. If we didn't have such a conflict of interest, I'd absolutely welcome such a stupendous person as a brother in arms!

And so, despite our differences, it truly is hard to watch a remarkable man fall victim to such ruin...

What would Pintel and Ragetti's reactions and opinions on Sparrington ?

Hey, Lys. Nice to meet you! ♥️🫂

I think that all Jack's crew would be okay with Sparrington as a same sex couple (maybe in this universe there exist some queerphobes amongst pirates but I imagine Jack's crew as a group of decent people - okay, they can steal and do their piratey things but they are not haters and they aren't phobes).

Pintel and Ragetti? These two, I think, would be especially like "Whatever. Good for you, we guess". They were f.e. totally okay (in the third movie) with Murtogg and Mullroy becoming pirates. They were surprised and amused but they shrugged and just accepted it. So I guess they are like this in other situations too.

Besides, in the first movie (in the extra scene) Pintel tells that he used to date a man (eunuch) so 100% he would support Jack.

Sparrington as their captain (and friend) being in love with ex Royal Navy guy? Well, James is EX admiral. He's EX enemy. And that matters. Past is past, now is now. James now is on their side, is one of them. James understood his mistakes, he changed his mind when he learnt the truth, when he saw what his society really is. James helped them in the end. James isn't like Beckett (Beckett hated pirates, James was taught to hate them as a little boy + James deep down is a fine man).

Hating James forever would be not fair. Nobody there has problem with Joshamee Gibbs (ex Royal Navy sailor!), Murtogg & Mullroy (ex Royal Navy sailors!) or... with Jack Sparrow (yes, he freed the slaves and was a hero but he WAS part of East India Trading Company). So, if all these guys, if Jack, changed their life and did the right thing... why should James be still hated? He did the same. And he deserves a second chance.

Also: they all are still friends with Hector Barbossa, come on! Hector, who hurt and betrayed Jack's trust so many times. Who was such an asshole to poor Jack. Not to mention that Pintel and Ragetti once were against Jack too. So they would be hypocrites to criticize Jack for loving his ex opponent 😉 By the way, James never hurt Jack on private level. But they (and especially Hector) did - they're pirates like Jack, they're his friends and that always hurts.

Okay, that was about reactions 🙂 Opinions? I bet that they all would love and respect James! He's a good and decent man, he's a great sailor (oh, shit happens to everyone, right? 😉), he's hard-working, he has skills and knowledge, he's a gentleman but he's also very piratey deep down (what is perfectly shown in the second movie ♥️). And he's kind, he's funny, he's nice. He loves Jack and their friends. Also, Pintel and Ragetti are pirate nerds so they would be totally excited to talk with James (who, I believe, is a little nerd too).

I remember how touched Pintel and Ragetti were when they're watching Willabeth wedding. Their faces, gosh, there was pure joy and "Aww, they're so beautiful together!". They were very happy for their friends and had 100% shippers faces 😄 And I truly believe they would have same love and support for Sparrington ♥️ Cause Sparrington is beautiful, perfect, hot and adorable too. Jack and James love each other, right. And Pintel and Ragetti are adorable guys with a bit romantic souls (Ragetti very much!) - they would cry at Sparrington ceremony and I will die on this hill 😂

[collabwithmyself]

Things I know about Jackie

Was raised by a somewhat overprotective father, Cortland McIntosh, after her mother died in childbirth

Born and raised in Concert, a farming community about an hour's drive from Threshold populated mostly by bellementa

Grew up knowing she was part bellementum, learning about what it meant to her community, and how to handle her powers

Wanted to move to the city for a new kind of excitement when she grew up, Cortland wanted her to stay so she'd be safe, they had a blowout and she took off

She has not once spoken to Cortland since.

Made friends at the first job she held down for more than a few months, but said friends had an unhealthy lifestyle

Got her addicted to cigarettes, enabled one another's vices while putting one another down, she stayed friends with them several years even after changing jobs

Finally broke things off with the lot of them after being pressured so much to hang with them that she lost a job, had a physical fight with one

Was a loner for a while before gradually befriending a local queer group at one of the bars she frequented

Felt somewhat more accepted but still looked down upon for not being quite "right" (aromantic, fat, visibly unhealthy from smoking), broke things off after being pushed about her dating life one too many times

Has lost several jobs due to behavioral issues like getting short with unpleasant customers and starting arguments with coworkers

Has yet to find a bellementum that understands what they are and is willing to connect with her

Has developed trust issues and tends to shut people out if they start learning "too much" about her

Has an extremely "do it yourself" philosophy and tends to handmake solutions instead of asking people for help

Fan of Greek mythology, and her cobbled together car is named Theseus

Loves apples, but can't eat them raw anymore after losing a tooth to one thanks to her smoking

Has been trying to quit smoking on and off for years but can't make it stick

Tried to raise a chicken from an egg several times instead of just purchasing one due to stubbornness, took many years before she finally hatched Holstein and kept her alive past a few days

Tends to collect all sorts of odds and ends, has a hoarding problem and her house is extremely cluttered

Has thrombocytopenia, keeps several first aid kits stashed around the house and takes birth control to help regulate her period in particular

Tends to use malapropisms without noticing and gets bitter if she's corrected about them

Has always wanted kids but never found the right environment to raise one and is afraid she'd fuck them up and become overprotective like her own dad

Holds grudges FOREVER and hates admitting she was wrong about something

Has tried therapy several times for her anger issues and loneliness and is acutely aware of her problems and emotions, but doesn't know where to begin properly addressing them and always quits therapy when just talk doesn't help

A hobbyist and self-proclaimed jack of all trades that knows a little bit about several subjects - art, car maintenance, sewing, cooking, drink mixing, plumbing, playing piano, gardening, boxing, raising animals and children - not enough to be an expert on any subject, but more than the average person

Oh, goodness, my modern AU (with all the BDSM and Petplay...)

First the Party, in their majors (I think I commented on some of these, but I figured out Valere and Zale finally):

Garl is majoring in Family/Child Psychology, and probably gonna continue on to get a master’s degree (maybe eventually a PhD? I thought Culinary Arts, but it’s a bit too on the nose; plus, he was so amazing and supportive throughout the game, and he was absolutely great with Malkomud). Garl has a variety of scholarships, grants, and financial aid getting him through college.

Teaks, of course, is getting a degree in History (minoring in Creative Writing (she writes horror/thriller in her spare time, and some of her work is getting popular)). Teaks is also using a variety of scholarships, grants, and financial aid.

Seraï is getting a restoration ecology degree, with an eye to getting a masters (then a PhD). She wants to help with restoration projects in areas that have been damaged by humans. (She hides the fact that she's rich-rich from everyone as long as possible, which eventually results in Zale having a conspiracy theory that she's a Yakuza heiress).

Valere intends on getting her degrees in Physics and Engineering. She's has an idea of becoming an aerospace engineer, wanting to create more efficient and eco friendly airplanes and the like for travel. Valere is in on a tennis scholarship, grants, and financial aid.

Zale is going for a basic degree atm, but will land on something in Fine Arts (honestly with my obsession with pottery rn it'll probably end up being something to do with ceramics). (His family is the same as in Bloodlines (same thing for Valere), and Haris and his shop were big influences on Zale growing up). Zale is in on a soccer scholarship, grants, and financial aid.

Resh'an and Aephorul are married and professors at the university; they own the duplex that the group is renting (unknown to the group, they live just down the street in an even older historical home. The duplex is Resh'an's, and their current home is Aephorul's).

Resh'an actually has a variety of classes in various subjects he cycles through every couple of years, and each of the group probably end up in one of his classes at one point or another (he feels like a Jack of all Trades to me).

Aephorul is a neuroscientist, reluctantly teaching classes between his research (he doesn't exactly hate it, just has no patience for most of the students who try to coast through his classes).

B'st is a contemporary of Resh'an and Aephorul, and with him being a Songster, he teaches a large variety of music classes and theory. He is good friends with the "pirate" crew after they graduated, as all of them took his classes for their degrees.

NSFW exploration under the cut:

'Kay…it’s probably absolutely clear to everybody now that I have a kink for main characters willingly giving up their control to their partners (or losing all control to someone stronger).

So...…Teaks introduced the idea of BDSM to the trio. First to Valere after they’d gotten together, with shibari; then to the boys when she and Valere were not as thorough in cleaning up their supplies from a play session in their living room. (There was much blushing from everyone when Zale found the cuffs and rope, then a lot of teasing.)

Garl and Zale were actually not together when they all moved into the duplex. Between being introduced to the concept of BDSM, and constant pining on both sides since their high school days, it all came to a head when Zale got really drunk and kissed Garl (and as I love the stupid trope, he passed out and didn't remember it in the morning). Garl corners him not long after, they have a long talk, and start dating (bc like hell Garl is gonna let the pining continue if he can be cuddling, kissing, and smexing his Kitten bff).

Zale came up with the Kitten-play all on his own, having stumbled on it online while looking for gifts for Garl. He ended up missing getting it all for Garl's bday, as it took a while to collect everything. He did have a very embarrassing outing with Valere to figure out what kind of lingerie to get; bc Zale chickened out going on his own, and was overwhelmed by all the variety (she didn't know about the whole Kitten bit, tho.)

Zale finds that he likes being a Kitten, and he and Garl explore it a bit deeper after that first time. Garl gets an at-home belled collar to match the lingerie, and a more incognito necklace that Zale can wear all the time (Garl has a matching bracelet). After getting his collars, Zale starts experimenting with being a Kitten a bit deeper (with non-verbal communication and non-sexual play). They actually mostly do non-sexual play in cuddle and "grooming" sessions after long days of school or work.

Garl is a Soft Dom. These two don't really "switch" their roles all that often (Zale *likes* being a Sub, and Garl *likes* being a Dom), but that doesn't mean that Zale is always bottom. Garl does get his sounding fantasy played out, and all his ideas for Zale on rings and cages actually end up being used on him more often than not (Zale finds he also likes being a bratty Kitten and torturing Garl.)

Teaks and Valere figured out that being tied up helps Valere relax. Doesn't even have to be for sexy-times...if Valere is stressing over school or whatever, Teaks will offer to tie her up in either simple or complex shibari.

Seraï ends up walking in on one of Teaks and Valere's innocent sessions, and is flustered over it. Teaks and Valere discuss it, and slowly start romancing Seraï when she doesn't push them away when they broach it to her, and they end up in a happy threesome. They all like switching up who is dominant for any given session.

The Deal (Bakugou One Shot)

Bakugou x Reader MHA 362 Spoilers/ Character Death!

Angst, Romance, Drama / Inspired by MHA 362 & Kate Bush Running Up That Hill

-

When you were 13 years old you knew you weren’t destined for great things.

“Look at this fatty!” A boy teased throwing some mud at you as he and his friends stood by and laughed.

“What a loser.” One of the girls next to him cackled.

“W-why can’t you just leave me alone?” You asked through watery eyes and shaky breaths as you tried to wipe the mud that now layed splattered across your face off.

“Why can’t you just leave me alone?” The boy mocked back in a high pitched voice as he grabbed some more mud and chucked it at you.

You dodged and tried backing away from your bullies but found your back up against the jungle gym with no where left to hide.

It was a rainy day so there wasn’t anyone out with their kids, no parents to intervene, just you and the bullies that had followed you here realizing that this was a grand opportunity to harass you more.

Because the entire school day just wasn’t enough.

“It’s not our fault your so lame.” Another voice in the group quipped.

The leader of the group approached you grabbing your hair before you even had time to protest, you yelped in surprise as your eyes met his, the rain doing very little to wash the harsh look off of his face as he tugged on your hair.

“Your nothing but a cheater!” He hissed giving your hair another tug.

“I-I didn’t cheat it was a fair game!” You protested trying so hard not to cry at his harsh pulls.

“Liar!” He said giving your hair another especially hard tug, you were sure some of your hair must’ve come out.

“L-Look, let’s-let’s make a deal!” You squeaked out threw watery eyes as your tried to get the boys fist out of your hair.

The boys face twisted into one of confusion as he looked back towards his friends and then back at you, he pulled your head closer to his as he harshly spat at you, “What kind of deal?”

-

Your quirk was a interesting one to say the least.

But it definitely reflected your family perfectly, you see your family was made up of a group of compulsive gamblers and actual con men. Your dad was a professional gambler, spent his whole life wagering the families funds on a game of chance until he eventually lost most of our families money which eventually lead to us living with my uncle who is also…yep you guessed it, a compulsive gambler.

Your mother wasn’t much better..actually she might’ve been worse. Casinos bored her and she had her eyes on bigger goals as a con woman. Though she didn’t do all the usual conman moves, she was more of a seductress, luring men to follow her considering how gorgeous she was was asboslutely no problem. Next thing the poor soul’s knew they were out of their money.

You however were not a gifted gambler as the rest of my family, and you weren’t exactly a looker either, you were shy, non charismatic, a bit on the chubby side, but your heart was always in the right place.

You remember when you first became a teenager and your mother sitting you down in her room while she got dressed for the night and telling you.

“Y/N, you might not be a knock out, or a jack of trades..but you have a very kind face and a warm smile to match.” She said as she put on her favorite cherry lipstick.

And you think that was her way of a compliment.

You knew then..you weren’t destined for greatnest..at least not in this family where everyone gets the luck of the draw, and serves out diamonds like their going out of style.

So when you came up to your family and told them you wanted to be a hero instead of a gambler or a con man, they hardly batted an eye.

And when you did get into UA and eventually you had to move into the dorms, you don’t even think they noticed you were gone, you were just one less mouth to feed, and more money in their pocket so they could gamble.

You never did have the luck of the draw your quirk never exactly favoring you in any particular way..But you prayed with everything you had in you that lady luck would be on your side just this once.

You were so far from him yet you found yourself running closer and closer to the situation at hand, and all you could think in your head was.

“Please-Please Please take the deal Bakugou.” You said it over and over again in your head until you finally reached the disastrous scene yourself.

And what you saw nearly made you vomit.

Bakugou was layed flat out on the ground bloody and torn, his arm was crushed and bent into a shape you didn’t even think was possible, next to him what looked like to be some sort of card layed by his hand, and then you finally worked up the courage to actually look at his face.

The gorgeous face that you had always admired from the moment you saw him on TV that day at home declaring he was going to be the winner of the sports festival with almost all the confidence in the world is the day you decided you wanted to be a hero.

You remembered that day fondly.

-

“Can you turn off the TV? I’m trying to get this trick right.” Your dad mumbled fiddling with his deck of cards at the dining table.

“It’s the Sports festival dad, I gotta see this, I might be joining their class soon.” You spoke up surprised at your own resilience, usually you tried not to make waves and stayed out of your families way as much as possible since you were such a misfit.

“Well could you at least turn it down? That Blonde kid’s really got a mouth on him.” Your dad complained as you looked at the screen to see who exactly it was talking.

Katsuki Bakugou.

“I Pledge that I’ll be number one.” He started gaining a lot of shocked looks and outrage in response.

But you looked at his face, and you could just tell, he was absolutely serious.

This kid had all the confidence in the world, and that’s when you also decided, you wanted to be by his side even if it killed you.

Because maybe just maybe, some of that confidence would rub off on you.

-

That face the one you admired and loved for so long was burned, covered in blood, his ruby eyes staring at nothing but death as you held back a sob in your throat.

You shook your head and looked around at everyone else of the battle field, Mirio, Tamaki, Mirko, Nejire, Monoma, Aizawa..everyone wore the same shocked, angry, colorless faces.

And you knew that you had to be the one to do something, because you were his only hope at this point.

You took a shaky breath and took his lifeless hand and activated your quirk a soft whisper that you were sure no one else could hear not even Shigaraki who stood far away yet still way to close for comfort, you prayed he didn’t come after you too, Atleast not until you had saved Bakugou.

“Let’s make a deal.” You softly said.

-

You had never tried to make a deal with someone who was practically declared dead at this point, but you were definitely gonna try.

You however wasn’t expecting to be transported out of your body into wherever the heck you currently were.

It was an open field, it was cloudy and the rain was slowly making its way down with little sounds of thunder accompanying it.

“I really did always hate the rain.” A voice suddenly said catching your attention.

You turned and was met with Bakugou.

You gasped at his appearance, he wasn’t bloodied or bruised, his arm wasn’t crushed, his face..wasn’t all scarred and bloody, instead his face was its usual pretty self, and he wore his UA uniform with his tie perfectly fixed.

He looked absolutely ethereal.

“Bakugou?” You said so quietly and with so much uncertainty.

“What are you doing here Y/N?” He said hands in pockets as he approached you.

You were so caught of guard with his overall appearance, you almost forgot that situation at hand, that this wasn’t a reality, this was nothing more than the calm before the storm and the fact that as we spoke he was somewhere on the brink of absolute death.

“I came to make a deal.” You said trying to stir some of your confidence up.

He looked around, and then back at you a confused expression circiling his face, “A deal? Ain’t I dead?” He said then paused his eyes widening. “Don’t tell me you died too Y/N!” He said fear enthralling his usual steady tone.

“No i’m okay..but your not dead yet..completely..Your heart just stopped seconds ago, there’s still a small window before your dead and I was able to activate my quirk just in time.”You quickly explained knowing you didn’t have much time.

You took a breath, “Do you wanna hear about the deal i’m making?” You asked looking at his face shift into one of bewilderment.

“Curisoity is the first step.” You could hear your father say. “Get them curious and soon you’ll have them eating out of your hand.”

“What kind of deal?” He asked red eyes locked on yours.

“It’s a good one.” You assured holding out your hand. “One that’ll save you and bring you back.” You said giving him a smile.

“All you gotta do is take it.” You said still holding your hand for him to take.

His eyes narrowed at your shaky hand and then back up at you, “What are the terms?” He asked.

“Lie.” Your dads voice echoed once again. “Lie, Lie, and Lie some more, their amateurs at these games, lure them into a false pretense and when all is said and done, you’ll come out on top.”

“No terms..all you gotta do is say you accept the deal.” You said in your most positive tone, your most sly tone, the tone you had practiced over and over again in the mirror since you were a child, the one that would gain trust, only to stab them in the back time and time again.

“That sounds shady as hell Y/n.” He said his usual inquisitive side rearing its ugly head once again.

You never once tried to play games with Katsuki Bakugou for numerous reasons, one he was so explosive when it came to winning, two he was way to smart for his own good, trying to con anything out of Katsuki Bakugou was like trying to find water in hell.

It just wasn’t happening.

But this time it had to work, there were no other options.

“It’s true, I can’t tell you the exact conditions of the deal, my quirk is based off of trust and pure luck.” You explained.

Your quirk was : Deal

A quirk which allows the person to make numerous deals at any given moment that benefits both the user and the opponent, if the deal is accepted fate is tipped on the opponents side, if the deal is rejected the deal is off and both the user and enemy is unfazed. There’s also a sub quirk called 50/50 in case the quirk user doesn’t want to make a deal but still wants a gamble may flip a coin and their chances of winning the battle or argument is 50/50. On rare occasion this quirk user may also be able to bring bad luck or good luck on their on free will, but it greatly decreases their chances on good luck in the future.

And that was your quirk, one of pure luck.

You had no control of what exactly would happen once you posed the deal, you could only try to make it as sweet a deal as possible to sway the opponent, the only negative is you couldn’t explain the deal to any of your opponents, they just had to trust you, which is a lot easier said than done.

“How can I accept a deal with no terms and conditions?” He questioned his tone annoyed and a bit weary.

You shook your head feeding off his own annoyance, “Do you wanna die Bakugou!?” You finally snapped.

He looked shocked at your outburst but soon shook his head, “OF COURSE NOT, BUT I DON’T KNOW WHAT THE HELL THIS IS!?” He shouted back.

“Midoriya can’t do this without you, I can’t do this without you Bakugou! The world is in a state of emergency and your just gonna clock out and leave us here!?” You rasped feeling tears spill down your face. “Just take the frickin deal and come back!” You said putting your hand out more aggressively and huge clap of thunder followed be a streak of lightning filling the sky.

It was silent for a moment before you could hear him come closer to you until you suddenly felt both his hands on your shoulders. “If I take the deal..what happens to you?” He asked quietly.

You looked up at him in shock, that’s what he was worried about?

Not the deal itself?

But you?

”What do you mean?” You asked wiping your tears.

He released your shoulders and looked down, “If I take the deal..what the hell happens to you?” He asked his voice shaking.

Bakugou Katsuki was way too smart for his own good, way to observant, and more shockingly..way too kind.

It was true, you had never made a deal this big before, you weren’t even sure if the deal would be accepted by the dealers of fate, but you were holding on to your families policy, always take the gamble.

Because even if its a slight chance, there’s still a chance.

“I-I’ll-It’s a good deal Katsuki.” You said finally sighing watching his face distort into one of pure anguish.

“No…” He whispered.

You looked up at him stunned.

“What?” Your eyes widened.

“ I said no..” He repeated.

“Kat-”

“I’m not taking no damn shady ass deal that hurts the people I care about!” His voice stern and pained.

You could see the walls of the meadow start to deteriorate and you knew the deal was fading as a voice suddenly echoed across the rain and thunder.

“The Deal Has Been Denied.” A voice echoed as you shook your head frantically.

The Deal Makers were here.

“NO - NO WAIT!” You yelled looking up at the sky crumbling to pieces, and then back at Bakugou who didn’t looked fazed at all with what was happening.

“BAKUGOU SAY YOU WERE LYING, SAY YOU WANNA TAKE THE DEAL!” You cried grabbing his hand for him to shake.

His head hung low towards the ground as he refused to shake your hand to solidify the deal. “If I take the deal.” He started gaining your attention.

You nodded, whatever he was gonna say you’d accept, he had to take this deal, whatever the condition, whatever he wanted you’d give it to him. Your health? He could have it. Your quirk? He could have it. All the money you’d save up since you were old enough to count money? He could have it.

Just take the deal.

“If I take the deal, I want to go out with you.” He said.

Your heart shattered.

“E-xcuse me” You said voice in complete disbelief.

“I said I wanna go out with you, damn are you deaf?” He stressed.

“I- I don’t understand?” You said.

“Really? I thought you’d be jumping through the roof, considering your crush on me.” He said finally looking back up at you with that same confidence that made you fall in love with him in the first place.

“Who-who told you that?” You gasped.

“No one had to tell me shit, I ain’t dense like dunce face.” He said almost playfully.

You would’ve laughed if this situation wasn’t so sad.

“Y/N…I apologized to Izuku, but I never really apologized to you.” He started.

You shook your head still not understanding what it was he was going on about, from the time you had come to know Bakugou Katsuki you and he weren’t exactly friends, but it wasn’t because you didn’t try, hell you were in love with him when you first saw him on the TV that day. But any time you tried to vocalize that or do things that showed how much you actually cared for him..he just shook you off and kept going as if you didn’t exist.

And you didn’t hate him for it, you understood that somebody like you, somebody who wasn’t the lucky one of the family, wasn’t the attractive one in the family, one who wasn’t the slimmest or the most bold would never land someone as pretty, smart, and strong as Bakugou. And that was okay, because if you could just stand by his side, that would be enough for you.

“Apologize?” You questioned.

“I brushed you off..thought you were some weird fan girl.” He admitted.

Is that how you came across?

I mean you were, but you didn’t think it was that obvious.

“All the homemade gifts, and baked goods you presented to Mina, Kaminari, Sero, Kirishima were all just excuses to give them to me right?” He asked you.

You couldn’t say anything, and he knew it.

“The days I would run early in the morning and surprisingly stumble upon you on the jogging trail…those weren’t accidents either.” He stated.

You shook your head, “Bakugou.”

“And that time you ate a whole carolina reaper pepper to impress me and nearly died, you don’t like spicy food at all do you?” He said softly looking at your now tear stained face.

“Why can’t you just take the deal?” You interrupted through your now anguished cries.

“You know why.” He said.

“What do you wana hear from me Bakugou? That it won’t hurt me? That it doesn’t hurt me? Because-Because you know it doesn’t hurt.” You cried and warm arms suddenly engulfing you in a warm embrace.

“It would hurt me.” He whispered hugging you tightly.

The meadow was crumbling down all around you now and he released you a small smile making its way on his face.

“You’ll be okay.” He said.

“We won’t- I won’t.” You protested heavily feeling yourself start to fade out.

“Tell everyone i’m sorry.” He said, “And tell Izuku..he better be number one.”

You tried to reach out to him but your hand just went right through and the reality was finally settling in. This was it.

“And Y/N..never lose that smile..it’s actually a pretty good one.” He said finally.

And just like that he vanished, the deal was broken, and you were sent right back into the reality, the reality that Bakugou was gone..and once again..you were out of luck.

When you returned to the real world full of ashes and decay and the body of your friend and crush beside you, you saw that Izuku had finally arrived and the look on his face at the scene before you, sent chills up and down your spine.

“Kaachan?” He stuttered eyes wide with disbelief as he looked from Bakugou to you for some sort of explanation.

“Midoriya..”You cried, “I-I tried..but-but he wouldn’t take the deal..he wouldn’t take it.” You explained through shaky breaths as the rain slowly started to pour.

Hey guys hope you enjoyed this little One Shot, I think I’m gonna write an alternative ending to this, a happier one. But I heard what had happened, and then I remembered this song, and I was like I got to do a one shot for this. I haven’t written in a while actually, but I hope it turned out okay.

[tiny-cloud-of-flowers]

My friend @dragonsmooch once asked me to tell them a little (or a lot) about one of my oldest OCs, so I decided to look through my F/O lists and see which OC who is also an F/O is the one I've had for the longest time (since.. this is my selfship blog, haha). The answer turned out to be, on a technicality, Iris!

I say on a technicality because Iris is an OC I originally created for Splatoon, as part of a big group of OCs I made during one very very bored week at school where I had to try and do something that looked like revising but wasn't. Which is why she counts as an old OC. However, I more recently ported her into Dragon Quest IX, which is the version of her that I see as a platonic F/O (as well as her FFXIV version, too!). This is what she looks like in my game!

In terms of personality, Iris is energetic and fun-loving, always eager to take up a challenge and easy to make friends with. She is very creative (especially when it comes to art like drawing), and she can have a certain flair for the dramatic, which helps her out a lot with her vocation.

Speaking of vocation, Iris is a luminary! These superstars are charming performers with considerable magical aptitude, able to fight with fans, whips, or boomerangs. Iris uses the first of these options in tandem with magic, which encompasses both healing spells and wind-element damaging spells. She has a lot of different spells and abilities at her disposal, allowing her to play almost any role within the team as needed! I'd say a jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none, but.. that's actually a boss in this game, haha

In terms of how she fits into the world, Iris appears in the story of my selfship with Pavo, which is essentially "my version of the events of DQIX". She used to be a performer in the Quester's Rest inn, until spotting what looked like a burst of light falling from the sky one late night, and deciding to run out and if she could find where it would land. This falling star turned out to be my self-insert Ardea, whose wings had been lost in the fall and whose halo broke upon hitting the ground just outside the eastern entrance to the Hexagon - inadvertently showering both Iris and Avalon (an adventurer who had had the same idea) with Celestrian power, allowing them both to perceive things like spirits and the Starflight Express. After bringing Ardea back to the Quester’s Rest, and subsequently hearing her story from both her and newly-visible Pavo, Iris decides to accompany the Celestrians on their quest to both recover Ardea’s lost angelic traits and reunite with Aquila, Pavo’s brother.

I hope that this is alright!!

[marieabubb08]

Miss Manager

It all started with your aunt.

Your aunt has been a music producer for different artist for as long as you can remember.

By the time you graduated college, you were in desperate need for a job.

And your aunt heard about this and so she reached out to you about this important job.

“This one company I worked for before is debuting a new boy band and they are in desperate need of a manager. You can try to apply if you want.”

Now, your aunt told you the company was a bit small so the salary wont be too big

But you were desperate. After all, it was better than none and you needed the money fast.

And so you applied.

The interview was nervewracking but definitely not as challenging as you thought.

They asked you a few questions about yourself, your work ethic and other questions that really told them about your personality.

Just after a few days, you already received a call back from them anndddddddd…..

Surprise suprise

You got in! Congratulations!

The next day you met up with some staff who taught you the things you’re supposed to do.

Reviewing and reminding the boys about their schedules. Checking up on the events, stylists, their lessons. Scheduling their calendars. Talking to producers, event organizers etc etc

Needless to say, you are packed madam

But no worries. You are used to stress and you say yes to everything without no second thought.

After that brief showcase of your supposed job, the staff introduced you to the 5 boys.

Izuku Midoriya, the sweet, shy main vocal and leader of the group who proved to you that singing isnt just about belting because his voice serenaded you with how sweet, sincere and emotion-filled his singing was.

Shoto Todoroki, the cold and stoic song-writer, vocalist of the group who you thought would be pretty popular with the ladies once they debut because of his handsome face.

Katsuki Bakugo, the hot-headed producer, rapper of the group who was rather brash and looked to be rather stagnant in his work only for you to be surprised that he can play a few instruments and is the jack-of-all-trades of the group

Eijiro Kirishima, the talkative and bubbly singer, dancer who may seem clumsy with some normal things but when it comes to performing, shows why he was chosen for the group. His passion shines through making him very ‘manly’ in your eyes.

And finally, Denki Kaminari. The flirty main dancer of the group who can move his body incredibly fluidly and flawlessly as if bending your back towards the ground while doing a split was as easy as walking.

Now everyone was very polite and welcoming to you (even Bakugo no matter how ummm…unpolite he was) telling you that if you needed help they will gladly help.

But you shook your head, telling them to focus on themselves and their performance on stage and you’ll worry about everything that happens behind and before the stage.

A few months before the debut date, you had approached all the members individually asking them on what theme they want for the structures of their sound and message to look and sound like.

And that interview brought you a lot closer to these boys as they talked to you about their ideas, personal experiences and personalities.

Izuku told you that he wished their message would integrate that of never giving up hope and to always looking at the beautiful things in life rather than looking at what things you dont have.

A lesson that he had learned growing up from being always bullied about alot of things. His appearance, his life etc. And he wanted everyone especially the youth to feel like he knows how it feels to be alone and to feel like the world is against you.

But looking at the things he loved and he had like music, performing, his friends and his mom made him realise that all his wishes were just his wants and all his needs are already given to him.

Katsuki wanted to intertwine the main idea Izuku gave with adding the lesson he learned from his now band leader.

The lesson of the power of compassion and empathy. He was a prodigy in everything he did and so he felt cocky about it and almost like he was ontop of the world and everyone was just below him.

He even told you that he was one of the people who bullied Izuku but changed his ways once he realized how empty he felt even with all the glory.

Feeling something towards others made him feel more whole and important to the world and he wanted to teach everybody who was and still an asshole just like him that it is better to care than not caring about anything rather than yourself.

Shoto wanted to integrate the journey of the long road of unbias acknowledgement and acceptance of oneself.

He was a victim of parental abuse from his father that left him and his whole family scarred.

His mom especially, was damaged to the point where she became insane and detested anything and anyone who reminds her anything related to his father.

And him, getting some attributes from his father made him hate those parts believing them to be a curse, something monstrous like his father.

But once he learned how to accept that those parts arent Enji Todoroki but rather fully him, Shoto Todoroki was he able to let go of all the hate towards himself and his isolation from others.

And now that his father is trying to redeem himself from his past mistakes, he is no learning not to forgive yet, but to acknowledge that his father is trying without the bias of just chalking his father up to be just bad.

He knows that the world is morally gray, and so is his father whom he is now trying to erase the view of him just being the devil himself with a black, inked heart but rather a man realising the large doom he put onhis family cause of his mistakes.

And thats what he wants to share to the world. You dont have to forgive someone, but you need to forgive yourself if you want to move forward in life. Just because you remember a trait as something evil doesnt mean it is because like he said, the world is morally gray and so wait befor you judge.

Eijiro wanted to add the sense of positivity and being brave.

Being brave doesnt mean having no fears but rather fearing something but still facing it.

Its what makes a person so manly as he says.

And so many people bring down themselves just cause of the misconception of bravery.

They let their minds pick up on their flaws so much that even strengths will be considered as a flaw just because them or society doesnt like it.

And so he wants everyone to feel as positive about themselves as possible because you cannot be brave about external forces when you hide and run away from your internal insecurities and fears.

Denki, being last that you asked found out about each and everyones ideas and suggested only one thing. A story.

If its a love story, a self-ove one, a story of that of a hero, etc etc.

What he wants is something that would start as flawed just like he was when he started training in this company.

But he wants that one day if this band does seperate, he can look back on it and tell himself.

'This was my-no our story on how we recognised who we are, our strengths and weaknesses. This is our character development, the era where we improved our flaws and make our goods as excellent as possible. And I think we did it correctly.’

And hoped that maybe the future generations who’ll find their music, if they were lucky enough, would find this story and tell themselves that its never to late to start the journey they went through.

All of these made you cry small droplets of tears.

Each went through alot of things that may seem shallow but is actually so rooted and deep once you dig deep enough.

But you notice one motif of their ideas: The want to help, teach and reach out to everybody.

Your mind brightened as you ran to the office to suggest them an idea that popped in your mind.

“Why not call their group name: Hero? It fits with their whole theme and wants for their careers.”

Needless to say the boys, the staff and some higher ups liked it and decided to stick with that.

And so the day they debuted came and you were amazed with their talents when ir came to acting on the music video (just as you though their talents were just in performing, you were wrong they were excellent actors as well)

The song ended up becoming well. The views werent that bad and they were earning a few fans here and there.

You thought it would be the best to let them perform on a small scale and schedule those on small auditoriums(?) with the maximum of a hundred people with only 2 performance a week.

Well your mind slowly started to change about that decision when you saw them practice their song at 1 in the morning. All of them drenched in their sweat but they all enthusiastically agreed when Izuku asked for another rundown.

They reminded themselves of the promise they all told each other:

“Even if thousands, hundreds or even one person came to see us, we’ll still perform like its our last.”

And they definitely did.

Ome of their first performances infront of the public only had less than a hundred but they all performed like they’ll die if they did not give a 110% of their power

You can bet that after that one performance, all 60 people who came to watch their performance were in awe and some even at the state of open mouthed shock because of how charismatic and mindblowing everything was.

You were also in big awe. You were used to watching some performances by other artists that were more well known.

But this. They were spectacular even if there were no special effects or fireworks, no nothing. Just the passion, talent and hardwork of these boys.

After the stage, the 5 approached you, before bowing their heads as low as they can. Thanking you for your hardwork on setting up a stage where they can perform like they have always dreamed of.

But you also bowed your head, but this time in apology.

You admitted that you had indeed doubted their skills. But with just this one performance, you were convinced that they could do so much better and alot of people deserved to see their love of performing.

You promised that from that point onward, you will do more than your best and not doubt them because they are clearly using everything they have.

So what is holding you back from doing the same.

This turned out to be longer than I thought oml-

Part two coming soon (probs today cause I dont wanna listen to my online class-)

Pirates of the Caribbean: Wrath of the Kraken

Chapter 1

Chapter 2

Chapter 3! This is where my knowledge of Tides of War comes in handy to fix that plothole from Dead Men Tell No Tales' end credit. Also, I get to bring back one of my favorite characters (aka the fictional love of my life). This story has been really fun so far and I hope you guys have enjoyed! As always, a big thanks to @phantomoftheparadise0002 for beta-reading reading! I hope you're not sick of me 🤞🏼

Summary: When Jack recruits Smith to help him find the lost relics of Cortez, their mission doesn't go as planned when they run into terrors and joys from their past, ultimately witnessing the resurrection of the Dutchman...and her beloved Captain.

TW: Some language, pirate violence

Arriving in Tortuga mere hours later, Smith told her crew to go ahead while she stayed behind.

When she was sure her crew was out of earshot she screamed "CALYPSO!" to the heavens, rage evident in her voice.

"I told you not to speak him name."

Swiftly turning to face her, Smith growled, "What the hell did you do?"

"I do not'ing."

"Then how the hell is he back?!"

Hearing footsteps behind her, Calypso turned to see Jack standing behind her, the anger in his eyes matching Smith's.

"Jack." The Goddess greeted sweetly.

Jack said nothing, merely sneering at her.

Looking between them nervously, Calypso sighed. "Deh Davy Jones you saw in deh maelstrom was not deh Davy Jones dat fought wit deh East India Trading Company."

Smith and Jack's brows furrowed.

"It was him Shade."

"Shade?" Jack asked.

"A version of a person from another's memories." Smith answered. Looking at Calypso, she added, "But they're just myths. Stories that parents tell to their children. How the hell would one come into the real world?"

"Dehr are many stories, all of which are true." Calypso answered. "After you destroy deh Trident of Poseidon, Will Turner call to me, tell me to destroy deh Dutchman once he return to him family."

"How does that cause someone's Shade to appear?" Jack asked.

"The Dutchman." Smith breathed. Looking to Jack, she added, "Most Shades are bound to an object. My mother told me the story of a solider who had won many battles with a sword made of pure gold. When he died, his comrads attempted to melt the sword into a medal to give to his wife. As the blacksmith put it in the furnace, he was killed. It's said that as he died, the only thing he uttered was the dead soldier's name. Later, the comrads who gave the sword to the blacksmith told the Governor that the person who killed the blacksmith was their friend, using the sword of gold."

Jack shivered.

"When you attempted to destroy the Dutchman 9 years ago, that must've been what brought Jones back."

Calypso nodded.

"So how do we get rid of him this time?" Jack asked.

Smith shrugged. "My mother never told me that part of the story."

Shouting arose from the city as a group was being pushed towards the dock, Scrum and Mullroy at the front.

"Guess that's our sign to leave." Smith sighed, shaking her head.

"Captain!" Scrum called from the Crow's Nest.

"Aye?"

"We're aproachin' the island!" He smiled.

Looking out towards the bow, Smith smiled at the faint twinkles of the rubies in the light of the rising sun.

Jack smiled as he looked over at Smith as she stood at the helm of the Revenge, her posture straighter, an air of hope surrounding her as the island became closer.

"Where is he?" Smith asked, pacing the island for what felt like the 100th time. "She said he'd be here."

"I believe the word she used was repayment." Jack corrected.

"Oh, don't try that with me!" She shot back. "If it wasn't Hector we're here for then why would she send us here?"

As she turned to look out at the sea, something appeared in her mind's eye. A great chasm stretched across the sea, the Pearl on one side and the Silent Mary on the other, the Pearl's anchor dangling into the divide.

"Captain Sparrow, my effects." She said, taking off her coat and shoving it into his hands along with her pistol, sword, and hat.

Before he could question why, she dove into the sea.

"I'll never understand her." He said offhandedly to Scrum, causing Gibbs to give him a confused look.

Smith felt as if her lungs were on fire as she pushed herself to swim as deep as she could, the images of Hector being swallowed by the sea not deterring her.

Scrum watched as Jack started to shift his weight constantly from foot to foot.

"You alrigh', Cap'n?" He questioned, narrowing his eyes.

Throwing Smith's things to the ground, he began to take off his own effects, adding them to the pile at his feet.

"She's been down there too long." He said simply.

Just as he was about to jump in, Smith burst through the surface of the water, gasping for air, Hector's limp body in her arms.

"DUTCHMAN!" Someone from the Pearl screamed as the bright flash of cannon fire erupted from the other side of the ship.

As the mast of the Pearl fell, Jack, Scrum, and Gibbs jumped into the sea, Gibbs and Scrum taking Hector's weight while Jack grabbed Smith.

Standing on the deck of the Revenge, the crew watched in horror as the Pearl sank to the depths.

"Wouldn't be an adventure without loosing the Pearl, eh?" Jack joked sadly, attempting to distract himself from the lose of his beloved ship as he left the crowd.

Looking to Scrum and Gibbs, Smith instructed them to place Hector on the bed in the Captain’s cabin while she followed Jack.

Placing a hand on his shoulder, she gave it a small squeeze.

"She was a fine ship." Smith offered, to which Jack nodded.

"Aye." He sighed.

"We'll get her back." Smith promised. "We've done it before."

Jack looked at her, a deep sadness in his eyes as he nodded.

Wrapping her arms around him, Smith held Jack close as they mourned the Pearl.

"Captain!" Came Scrum's voice.

Smith removed herself from Jack's hold.

"He's awake."

Do you think autistic people could pull off a John Wick? To be honest we don't see a lot autistic people in action or adventure movies.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=v00zKyXbfD4&pp=ygUVSm9obiBXaWNrIGZpZ2h0IHNjZW5l

No. I don't think most of us would survive in an action movie, because we're sensory overloaded very easily so guns and explosives wouldn't be our best friend. Just that scene that you sent me the link of, if I am thinking about the sounds like the few gun shots, the many times glass broke but even the bone crunching sound of jamming a knife into a skull paired with the anxiety levels of such a scenario, then honestly I'd pass.

In my language, we actually have this particular phrase, 'Well, with you I couldn't win a war', about someone who's incompetent either in general, or for a specific task because they do not have the required skillset. My mom once used this phrase on someone and when I asked her in all seriousness if one could actually win a war with me at the forefront, she said and I quote, "Well, you'd probably run into the enemy fire in a panic attack, so no one is winning with you either."

* An adventure type of movie is a VERY different case, however. Other then the fact that the overall plots do not have to involve weapons that easily set us off, for adventure type of movies usually there is a wider array of skillset needed, hence why you have so many tropes in those particular story like the hero, the healer, the comedic side kick who's the glue keeping the team together, etc. Autism comes with drawbacks but benefits too, and you could easily create an autistic character who's specialized themselves in a skill needed for the team in the adventure stories. I do seem to spot a tiny bit of a rise of making the nerd character in these groups autistic, but that's not without its flaws either. Like, personally I am kinda bummed adventure/fantasy/sci-fi is making us the scientific-kind of genius whenever we do get an autistic character. So many people with autism also are genius with their hands, just look at Leonardo DaVinci who people deem to have possibly been autistic. Where's the jack-of-all-trades kind of autistic character who fills in the slot of whatever the team needs right now? Like the one who builds the camp, builds weapons, helps out medically- that kind of genius. At best, we get someone who creates weapons on top of being a science nerd and I'm kind of tired that we're constantly being sent to the tech-savvy genius corner (not just in stories, but also in real life when it comes to how autism-friendly job spaces are usually tech related). Our 'talent' comes in so many more shapes and forms then just being good with tech. Where is a character like the one from the Good Doctor in an adventure type story fullfilling the healer role? I really hope we're getting to see characters like that some day (and well-written because if the character is as insulting as that Sia movie then I'd rather prefer no representation at all).

today is my birthday, and to celebrate i'm paying homage to aot characters and their big 3 zodiac signs. a few things though: a. the website i used doesn't allow for triple digit years, so i assigned a birth year based on their age of the completed manga, plus a year since the manga officially ended, plus whether they have had a birthday already or not, and worked around that. i also use 12:00PM as a time, and Oita, Japan as a birthplace b. we'd be here forever if i laid out everyone's birthchart, so i'm only doing sun/moon/rising. your sun sign represents your ego and motives, your moon sign represents how you handle your emotions, and your rising represents how present yourself. c. let's pretend certain ppl are alive and well ok this post is supposed to be happy :")

[imagine-knb]

hey! you can call me, "kiss". I am an enfj, capricorn and am usually the advisor of my friend group. there have been times when people thought that I wasn't a genuine person because of my "too polite" personality, but they ended up loving me after getting to know me! I'm kind of a jack of all trades so I don't have a particular hobby or hobbies that I like the most, it solely depends on my mood! my aesthetic is dark academia/royal.

my likes : classical music/music with classical instruments, anime/kpop, fashion

my dislikes : impolite/rude people, unhygienic people and... well, i can't think of a third one atp 💀

my favorite characters are akashi, kise, kagami, Midorima and imayoshi; but honestly, i love all the characters literally and wouldn't mind being matched up by any!

Type of Romance

Rivals to Lovers

How You Two Met

Believe it or not, you and Kise met through friends who were having a social mixer. He was invited as one of the more attractive men (like he always was), meant to get the ladies comfortable and talking. You were invited for the same reason for the women. From your friends' points of view, you two would have made the perfect match.

If only reality had worked out the same way.

First impressions were not good, as Kise took your overly sweet and kind attitude as something fake. As such, he wasn't the most polite person he could have been, which in turn did not put him in your good graces.

"You already know why I don't want to be apart of this mixer!" Kise exclaimed, loud and obvious as he glared toward the table where you and the other women were already sat. Everyone had seemed to look up at his words and when your eyes met his, he seemed to almost bristle. "I never have fun at these things whenever she's here."

"Just give her another chance," his friend reassured, practically pushing Kise over toward the table. "She's a lot nicer than you think she is."

Kise wanted to mutter under his breath about the niceties being fake — he wanted to prove that they were — but every get together you would prove him wrong, literally killing him with kindness.

How He Fell For You

It was through the insistence of his friends that the both of you were constantly invited to these outings together and, while a dislike and rivalry had been set up between the two of you at first, eventually that gave way to getting to know each other more. It took a lot for Kise to admit his was wrong about you and apologize.

He liked that you were into a variety of hobbies because he had dabbled in a lot as well growing up. It became a habit for the two of you to compare and contrast skills. It was a friendlier rivalry than before, none too serious at all.

To Kise, falling for you came a surprise, but it felt natural. It was as if all the disdain he held for you before had been replaced with something better and, before he knew it, he was asking you out. It was only the next logical step in his mind.

"Why haven't we gone out yet, Kiss?" Kise asked one day. He was looking at his phone, a social media page pulled up on the screen. It was a distraction, something he could look at while he pretended to be nonchalant about his question.

Your initial response was to quirk a brow at him. "Because you hated me?"

Taken aback by your forwardness, Kise spluttered a bit and nearly dropped his phone. "That's in the past now, please stop reminding me!" It doesn't take him long to recover from his outburst, coughing into his hand to clear his throat before he tried again. "No serious, Kiss, let's try. What could it hurt, right?"

What a Relationship with Him is Like

All of your friends tease that they knew the two of you would end up together from the get go. Kise likes to say he knew it all along as well, but you humble him often by reminding him of all the bitter things he once said about you. It always ends with him turning those puppy eyes at you, begging for forgiveness that you'd given him long ago.

Of course, dating a man who used to be a model comes with its own challenges. It's pretty often that the two of you are subject to a lot of attention while out for a night on the town, both admiring and jealous eyes turned your way. You're put under a lot of scrutiny at first, but Kise defends you every time.

And on the days where the two of you would rather stay in than go out, he loves to indulge with you in your other likes. More often than not, he's asking you about your favorite kpop groups (insisting that his favorites are better) while the two of you lounge the day away.

"What're you looking at, Kiss?" Looking over your shoulder, Kise notices the comments section of a recent social media post of his filling your screen. His lips press into a thin line when he realizes the majority of comments are disparaging you. "People are so mean sometimes..."

But then an idea comes to his head. Pulling out his own cellphone, he pulls up his social media and starts a live feed right then and there. Instantly a few of his more loyal followers join in, chimes of 'hello' and 'I love you' filling the screen. He plops himself right next to you, making sure the camera catches the both of your faces.

"Hey everyone," he greets the feed. "Just thought I'd show you the happiest couple this side of Japan! And nothing will change that!" You spend the rest of your evening trying to keep Kise from kissing you over and over for the world to see.
