Sonic Prime Story Snippet 1/2 (post S3E1)

Shadow woke up coughing.

Everything hurt. He was pretty sure he had cracked a rib, what with the sharp seizing pain he felt every time he took a breath. Great—just what he needed.

Shadow groaned as he tried to get his bearings. He lay sprawled out on rough rock; looking up, he saw an opening far above him, framed by the jagged earth. Barely any light reached him. Shadow rubbed his face; he vaguely recalled getting punched by that metal hedgehog and then falling. He must have ended up in the fissure Nine had made while trying to stop him and Sonic.

Shadow stared up at the opening, and for a moment, panic filled him. Had Sonic—?

Yes. Shadow breathed a sigh of relief as his memory settled into place. He had successfully thrown Sonic over the fissure, past the force field barrier, and out one of the cracks in the Grim. He was safe... for now. With those bird robots Nine had sent out after him, however, that wouldn't last long. He had to get up. Shadow pushed against the rocks beneath him to sit, only to nearly topple over as a dizzy spell hit him. (He really had taken a nasty beating to the head.) As Shadow waited for the pounding to ease, hand to his temple, he heard something that made him tense: clanking metal footsteps.

Knocking Shadow out wasn't enough; Nine had sent his robot henchmen to finish the job. As silently as possible, Shadow rolled over and ducked down behind the rocks he had been lying on. He suppressed a pained grunt as he landed. It was only a matter of time before they found him down here; undoubtedly Nine had equipped his bots with infrared vision, and while Shadow's night vision was decent, it was clear who would have the advantage in the dark. More metal steps; they were all down here, looking for him. He had to get out, now.

Shadow slipped further behind the rocks, listening to pinpoint his enemies' locations. Rockets propelled something slowly through the air—not twenty feet away, Shadow guessed. It had to be that Rouge bot, combing every pebble it came across for signs of him. The bot wasn't nearly as graceful in the air as the real thing—nothing and no one could out-fly Rouge the Bat. Shadow took a silent breath, shaking his head slightly to clear it; he couldn't afford any distracting thoughts now. He had one shot at this. The hovering came closer.

Three... two...!

Shadow shot off like a bullet. He hit the Rouge bot dead-on, knocking it off balance in the air. In an instant, he was on top of it, and in one swift movement Shadow grabbed the wings and angeled them up, sending them both on an upward trajectory towards—!

WHAM! 200 pounds of metal smashed into Shadow from the left, sending him flying off the Rouge bot. He smashed into the rock wall with so much force that his ears rang. He fell to the floor in a heap.

Shadow could hear his attacker approaching as he tried to push himself up. He panted as his arms shook, each breath torture. A sharp kick sent him back into the wall. Shadow glanced up just as the heavy metal foot of the Knuckles bot crashed down onto his chest.

Stars exploded behind Shadow's eyes. He gasped as daggers seemed to shoot through him, slashing at his battered ribs, his scream caught in his throat. He wheezed, hands clawing at the robot, but they slipped uselessly across the smooth metal surface; he was pinned, and pinned good.

The robot pressed down harder. Shadow could hardly breathe. The haze of pain blurred his vision; it dulled his thoughts; it sent the world spinning. His struggling slowly weakened. Through the haze, Shadow sensed another figure approaching. He looked up to see their backlit silhouette—the Amy bot. Shadow's eyes widened as the machine whipped out its hammer and swung it at him with inhuman speed.

Everything went black. *** The robots stood over their defeated foe, completely still. They did not celebrate their victory; they simply awaited orders. After a moment, static broke over their coms. "Bring him to me."

[inspjavert]

FIRST SHOT AND HES SHIRTLESS LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO

[evilminji]

Okay but >.> continuing my Marvel thoughts?

I got two of um?

First being? Don't Orange and Green go together? *looks it up* Aaaaaay~ "Direct harmony, also known as complementary colors, means pairing your key color with the color sitting on the opposite side of the color wheel." They DO!!! They're a classic example, in fact!

The Orange Soul Stone? Probably looks REAL good, real NATURAL even, against that Green sky! Bet it REALLY pops! Very stand out statement piece, you know? But? More importantly? That thing is sentient. All of those Pillars of Reality across the various Verses are.

And?

I bet it thought Pariah was a lil bitch.

Rank Vibes. Negative ris. Pick your words for it, the man was NASTY. He was too keep his filthy, filthy World's Conquering hands OFF of this Soul Stone. Something, I imagine? That ALL the Soul Stones agreed with.

Yes, I said all of um.

Because the various Realities each need their own. But! They can and DO work from the Zone, which is the PERFECT place to hide. And honestly? They like to get together and do this thing? Where they're all "oooh~ look at US! We are SUPER IMPRESSIVE Kingly Jewelry~☆! Definitely no important reality bending Rocks Of Great Power HERE! No SIR! We're just tooootally rad jeeeeewelryyyyy~~~☆! Oooooooh~☆"

They like to have fun. :3

Hope Danny likes Orange. Ha ha... trick question. He doesn't have a CHOICE! All SORTS of Death based Reality Pillars are rocking up, in their metaphorical Gucci sweat suits and shades with a margarita, going "oh thank ME, babe. The last guy was AWFUL! You're soooo much better? Now let me rub myself all over you. It's been ages and baby needs to recharge on Death Energy."

Danny hates it? So? So much?

He looks like a GAUDY PIRATE. *nnnnnnyooom!* *THWAP!* *Another reality shaking, highly sacred, Godly Staff of Death or whatever they decided to call it, flys in through a nearby window and nearly concusses him as it smacks itself against his upper back and sticks there*

He looks like a walking junk heap of sacred artifacts.

You ever been pelted by rocks? He has! Little orange rocks! Like fucked up hail! Welcome to kinghood, Danny, have a CONCUSSION! D:< he hates it!

But... but, I mean... At Least It's Not The SWORDS. (Panicked scream of "hit the deck!" from the other room.) (Holy sword number 15 wants to CUDDLE! Bare blade first! Dodge, your Majesty! DODGE!)

So yeah.

Danny? In A MOOD. Not feeling particularly FRIENDLY. It's not anyone's fault, really. But... well... you can't exactly negotiate with these fuckers, you know? Rocks are by NATURE, kinda stubborn.

So he's sitting there. Buried. With what he's pretty sure is a sacred text digging into his side. When a... glowing? Mist? Shows up? Huh. That's new. They don't seem to have a very clear image of "Self". Yet it's crystal clear? Just not... PHYSICAL? It's more... code? He thinks?

TECHNUS! Get over here! And behave!

There is much cooing and delight from Technus. The baby is a marvel. A wonder! Danny waits patiently for Technus to get to the point.

Ah.

He would like to "go back". His Obsession is demanding it.

IS it now? You're what? Maybe a day or so dead? You've been busy, if you've already gathered enough information to make your case like this. Alright, let's hear it, little guy.

It boils down to this. His obsession in death is the same as his primary directive was in life. Protect Mr Stark. Which is especially difficult to do from HERE. Even MORE so when there is a known threat, coming too...

WAIT, WHAT!?

The Souls Stones back him up. Oh yeah. Thanos' a lil bitchbaby loser. He's trying to make Death fall in love with him. Or "balance the universe". Depends on the reality. Totally throwing EVERYTHING out of whack.

And? Look. Danny's job? Isn't to interfere if countries kill each other. Or even planets. Nor entire galaxies, as much as he'd like too. But when you get too "I'm messing with Entire Realities or all of a Singular Reality at once in the specific depart of Death and its subsidiaries" territory? THAT is his job.

Might not be a "I personally have to show up" issue. But it still IS very much his job at that point. He has to delegate. Order the appropriate steps be taken. Cause yeah, there may be countless millions every day of such instances? But it IS his job to metaphorically order the roads repaired and the building inspected.

Sudden MASS "immigration"?

That causes Lair disputes. Confusion. Too many ghosts in too small an area. And WORSE, if people start playing with Death Pillars? The Zone might get dragged into whatever nonsense they're up too! It's like children playing with heavy machinery! Put that DOWN! Cease! Desist!!

And then? Clockwork shows up looking Mildly Miffed(TM). O:> dear lord. What madness has he stumbled upon? Oh. Oh of COURSE. First the "balancing" dude and now they're going to be playing with time travel. THATS IT. Someone unburying me!

I'm gonna go menace some humans that might actually believe I'm scary! Frighty! Pack up and shine your armor! Your coming too! We're escorting the baby home then have a Talk(tm) with the local Grape Ceral!

Malevolent Liveblog: Episode 15.

Spoilers beneath the cu(l)t:

Beautiful piano.

OH CHRIST I FORGOT IT'S THIS BIT

NONONONO

How did I forget this happens here. This opening was TRAUMATIC.

Phenomenal acting from Harlan though.

Note to John: Arthur is very much not OK.

Asking some VERY interesting questions here, buddy.

Still wanna know if Anna links in more.

A Web, you say?

Oooooh, Vanguard lore.

"I'm not doing it for you ... but you're welcome." The audacity of this man.

Mountains of Madness? Mountains of Madness tonite, King??

"Like the base of a mountain" yooooooo

Arthur Lester has the purest (and rarest) laugh.

Hey Alexa, play Darude: Sandstorm

uh oh

May prove ultimately fatal? Damn.

Who's to say it will hold our weight? Hmmmm

"long and limbless" serpent? Serpent? Giant draconic serpent? Yesssssss

ELECTRICAL giant draconic serpent!

Playing with lightning here, boys.

Lads don't kill, just leave.

I can't believe they used a metal pole to try and kill an electrical beastie. Besties why.

"That was not a well-thought-out plan". Well, it is you, Artie (/hj).

NEVER just call it dead.

But also noooo

"Thank you"

I'm guessing that one is for John, huh?

"... the front of the boat"

"The bow."

"Right."

... cute.

Shaving kit! Arthur is about to be ✨️dapper✨️.

Why *IS* there a boat in the Dreamlands?

You don't know what a bow is but you can identify the Captain's Quarters, buddy?

Ohhh. Was the King here? Leading people, leaving traces? That would make sense.

Frank's (?) notes are like my funky shorthand.

Never realised how like a TTRPG this is written. John sounds like such a GM. Love it.

OH, of COURSE John would be feeling the sand in the eye. Poor kid.

I like this being almost a reverse sea adventure.

Boat? Check

Cliffs? Check

Storm? Check.

"So we're at sea?"

"Nah, desert."

"... what."

Hilarious.

Poor creature :(

"It's already so hot" MOOD, BUDDY.

"You can make me whole agaiiiii-" no, wait, we don't want that.

Well, that escalated quickly.

OH, so if Artie dies, John takes over?

I mean ... huh.

METAPHORICALLY SPEAKING

Harlan Guthrie your phrasing is so eloquent. Superb. Great job.

Arthur getting his steps in. 🚶‍♂️

To the right, trace the wall now y'all.

Well this sounds lovely.

Arthur thinks the same.

It is genuinely cool though.

MOSS MOSS MOSS MOSS

THE MOSS SPEAKS

SENTIENT, WHISPERING MOSS

Maybe not the time to interrogate the meaning of fear, but eh.

What is it with arboreal and botanical entities this season, folks?

The moss continues to speak. This is VERY cool.

Oooooooh ...

Aaaaaaaand SCENE.

[suzie-shooter]

Alex Rider season 3 unhinged liveblog ramblings scribbled during first watch. Spoilers, obvs. (also fair warning, I am not particularly a fan of Tom or Kyra lol)

Episode 1 - Widow

S2 recap trivia - Alex's therapist is Molly Doran from Slow Horses and married to Alan Blunt IRL

Malta: Ok, so we're not just going to pretend it's Venice lol.

Creepy old men already hitting on Alex. Standard.

"After this we're out of leads." How do you even have any leads in the first place? Oh ok, Smithers' phone. Terrible security protocols from him, leaving that much historical classified data on it.

"Find the Widow - surely he could have given you an address?" First thing Tom's ever said I've agreed with lmao

Aaaand within a second he's back to being deeply irritating, okay.

Yassen living rent free in Alex's head, you love to see it.

"They've got this picture of me being the responsible one." Have Tom's parents actually met him?

Ooh Razim mention.

You maybe want to clean that wound before whacking a dressing on it Alex?

"Do you think you'll ever lose your appetite Nile?" Spat my drink.

Damn, no harem pants then. Scrubs up well tho.

Listing Levin in the opening credits than having him be only a S2 flashback should be a warcrime.

Episode 2 - Lab

"This weapon is called pork sword, wait, no, shit, wrong USB."

"Julia Rothman. Definitely a wrong un." Spat my drink again.

Do Crawley and Pritchard not warrant helmets and visors? Are they somehow immune to shrapnel?

So, room 6, wired to blow, yes? It's what I'd do…

Oh yeah sure guys, they're going to still be sitting there, all unmoving in the dark, for sure that's a person, and not a Massive Trap.

Thereeeee we go. Agent mince. Top of your class huh, well you're certainly at the top now, and down the sides and partially out of the window.

I know there's the whole 'characters don't know what genre they're in' thing but you are literally in the 'working for MI6 genre', you are up against people notorious for booby traps and blowing shit up, why the fuck would you touch something that hadn't been declared safe first? Apart from anything else you're fucking up the scene before forensics get there.

"I love you man." Vom.

Alex: breaks into super sekkrit lab. Also Alex: doesn't have the faintest fucking idea what he's looking at, so not really helpful.

COMICALLY LARGE BOMB KLAXON.

Episode 3 - Enemy

"Welcome to Malagosto." OooOOooh.

Maybe I'm just looking at it from a fic writer's perspective but it does seem a massive anticlimax to immediately let Tom and Kyra know Alex is okay? Like, you could have got a good couple of episodes of angst out of that uncertainty.

"Do you want me to kill them?" Oh God yes please.

Why the fuck have they plugged the USB directly into the network rather than an isolated PC? 'Hur dur we checked it first', you literally believe Scorpia are smart enough to not be bluffing about the nebulous death threat but you don't think they could hide something on the hardware? Fuck's sake lads. Amateur hour.

Is this Home Secretary meant to be Suella Braverman? Or Priti Patel maybe lol. (Equal rights and all that, and if it had been a white male character I don't think I would have thought twice about the dialogue but having both your two new female characters be immediately proved wrong/ massively patronised/ blown up ain't hugely comfortable viewing tbh).

HOW MANY FICS INVOLVING ALEX GETTING FUCKED ON THAT BED HAVE JUST BEEN BORN?

"Are you suggesting we break into a dead man's house?" "It's not like he's going to be there." 😂

"He became a very close friend of mine." Fnar.

Omg making Alex read his father's love letters is hilarious.

Alex: you could have faked that news report Also Alex: handwriting can definitely never be faked (how is Alex even familiar with his dead father's handwriting? wouldn't recognise mine)

Ugh please stop trying to make Alex/Kyra happen.

Alex up the vent shaft. I hope they're sitting casually at the top going - you could have just taken the stairs love.

If he's climbing upwards, why is his hair dangling like he's upside down? Have they filmed this like 60's Batman, and he's just crawling along a horizontal set lol.

Alex never once asks about his mother does he. Given the shagger-John route they seem to have gone down you almost think Julia would be in a better shout of getting Alex to switch sides by claiming to be his mother.

And - yeah, Alex's recruitment just doesn't feel that convincing here. Adding Tom/Kyra/Jack so much to the mix has changed the feel of his life a lot, and TV verse Alex has had a lot less fucking over by the Department by this point too. And Rothman feels too creepy to be effectively convincing him of anything.

"I want you to meet your tutor." FUCK YES FINALLY 🙌 (may have rewound that part several times lol)

Episode 4 - Recruit

Nicaragua: 18 years ago OH MY GOD IT'S HAPPENING

Baby Yassen is adorable, I'm in love.

OH MY GOD THAT'S SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE FUCKIN SPIDER THING

OH MY GOD THE REVEAL OF HIM STANDING OVER THE SLEEPING ALEX I'M DEAD

(Ok, I'm calm again. For now. We continue.)

"You killed my uncle" - all the hundreds of ways this conversation has been written over the years and Yassen's just like lol get over it 😂 (here for it tbh)

Rothman: He's one of our best Yassen: One of? Bitch.

Yassen watching Alex train like 👀👀

"Did he ever tell you you're no fun?" Oh you want to have FUN with Yassen do you?

Yassen bitchslapping Alex to fuck, both hilarious and hot.

Oh, you want to be WET wet.

"Matteo's the guy with the blanket." Why is that so funny.

Omg Yassen stepping in to protect his boy and humiliating Nile in the process lol. And Alex doing what Yassen tells him, because of course he does 🥰

"This one is my responsibility" 🥰🥰

"What about love, friendship?" Alex has only known Yassen five minutes and is already down bad.

"Kind of lonely though, right?" Yeah, Yassen needs you at his side Alex, so step up and stop being a whiny little bitch about killing people.

Never get in the first taxi, rule one of espionage.

Yep, called it. Tom's like: I'll have my fucking tip back in that case.

This scene is so dark I have no fucking idea what's going on, I thought Nile had attacked Alex, but apparently not. Is Nile officially part of this exercise or not, it seems really unclear lol.

The power of friendship and sparklerabbits saves the day, apparently. Yawn.

Jesus, we really ATE with this ep, huh.

Episode 5 - Revenge

"Would you rather your arms around me, or my arms around you?" Way to make it creepy Tom you skeevy fuck.

"Can we focus please?" "We're multi-tasking."

Sure Grendel, rock up to the super sekkrit spy base in a massively conspicuous car why don't you?

"Yassen will give you everything you need." Oh I BET he will.

Feels sloppy them not removing the diffuser from the vent tbh.

"What does this say?" Alex hasn't inherited John's neat handwriting then lol. Alex leaning into him like that > me making noises only dogs can hear.

"You've put lockpick?" "I left my last one in Nile."

Ooh, suicide pill, nasty. Kind've pointless though, given they've been left with the evidence anyway.

Yassen in Alex's bedroom again, likely place for him to be.

"I don't want you to fail. I don't want you to die." 🥹💕🥰

Yalex roadtrip, let's goooo.

Disappointed they're not making Alex do the Entrapment infrared acrobatic sequence here lol.

If this is Yassen's idea of a date it definitely needs work.

So no surprise scorpions then? Can't have shit in Detroit Malta.

"Why? Why did she kill him?" Well taking things at face value here he was a highly murderous member of a terrorist organisation, so you know, kind've her job.

Yassen does like a casual lean, doesn't he.

Episode 6 - Target

Alex and Yassen have shacked up in London, hope there's only one bed.

Now they're in the back of a van, SO many opportunities for shagging, they're spoilt for choice.

Yassen's impressed look when Alex reels off all the security details, so proud of his boy.

"What happened to my mum?" Finally he wonders lol.

"And I'm good at it. You could be too." 🥹

"You think Alex killed him?" I mean, he was also there with a notorious assassin, so probably not, y'know.

Domestic Yassen cooking Alex's dinner and also cooking him a gun lol.

Smithers' "How I've missed you" ahahaha. Smithers/Kyra much better pairing tbh.

"He's actually quite good at this stuff." Smithers' little snort lmao

Time for Alex to be blacked up/ dunked in a teabag bath/ gussied up. Although he still looks exactly like Alex afterwards, which feels less useful lol.

"You love him, don't you?" Yassen loves him more. I have to say Alex had far more chemistry with Syl, and frankly for that matter with Tom. I really don't get the Kyra agenda.

"It's a dry hole." Alex's worst nightmare.

Is Alex going to look through Mrs Jones' knicker drawer?

Episode 7 - The Shot

Mrs Jones and her tall murderous hobbit son lol. Otto really looks about 58 here.

Hope they bill him for her fucked up fridge.

Is that Bath? Oh, it is.

Mrs Jones casually throwing Alex back into play lol. Maybe she can have a little revenge for him trying to shoot her.

"Everyone breaks into houses." Jack's face lol

Ewww put him down, you don't know where he's been (Yassen's bed, almost certainly)

"Remember they can't hurt you unless you invite them in." "That's vampires."

Yassen arguing in favour of going to rescue Alex MY HEART

"Sit down. I'm going to tell you a story. About your friend, John Rider." HOLY PLOTHOLE TIMELINE PATCHING BATMAN

"John was embedded inside Scorpia for three years." Not the only thing he was embedded in by the sounds of it.

Alex seems to be hallucinating again lol.

Yassen, maybe psychoanalysing your insane boss isn't the safest thing to be doing?

"It's quite mad Julia." Yassen really gives no shits omfg

"I know my place." Yes, at Alex's side.

I like how Julia thought telling Yassen she'd killed John would do anything other than piss him off lol.

Episode 8 - Invisible Sword

"But you do owe me a new fridge." LOLLLLLL

Crawley feeling like a spare part during this lift convo, hahaha

"Smithers, you can do me some kind of tracker, right?" "Yeah, if you promise to keep it on you this time."

Alex is like ohshit I'm gonna die fr

"Not for the agents. They undid their seatbelts." Eyyyyyyyy 👉

Aww they've given him a little baby assassin outfit, how cute.

Where's Yassen, has he just fucked off to the pub?

"For the head of Scorpia, you're a really bad liar."

Laughing at all the other Scorpia agents having to listen to this convo about their boss like we are not paid enough for this shit 😬

"Everyone else is getting what they want, let me have my cereal."

Protecting his boy to the last. Yassen really is purely on Alex's side, we love to see it.🥰

And OMG HE LIVESSSSSSSS 🙌🙌🙌🙌 (I voted yes in that poll, I had faith lol)

Well that was - far more fanservice than I dared hope for, after the meagre pickings we got in the first two series. Yalex supremacy to the motherfucking end, let's go.

[howlingday]

The Deal

Salem: Jaune... Why have you come to see me?

Jaune: Believe me, Salem, you're the last person I would EVER want to see, but... I don't know who else to turn to. It's my little nephew, Adrian. He's really sick, and I... They're saying he's not going to make it. You're the only person who could save him.

Salem: You expect me to save your nephew? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Very well, but I do expect one thing in return, Jaune...

Jaune: Yes! Anything! What is it?

Salem: In exchange for saving your nephew, what I want... is your marriage! AHAHAHA!

Jaune: Waitwaitwait! Hold up! You... want my marriage?

Salem: Yes! Your marriage to your wife, Pyrrha Nikos-Arc!

Jaune: I'm... I'm sorry, I'm just confused by this whole thing. What exactly are you asking me for?

Salem: Am I not making this clear? I want your love with Pyrrha Nikos-Arc.

Jaune: OOOOOOOH! I get it now!

Salem: Yes...

Jaune: You wanna bang my wife! That's what you want!

Salem: Ye- NO! Nonononono! That is NOT what I want!

Jaune: Look, lady, it's a weird thing to ask, and I don't really feel comfortable with it-

Salem: I'm not trying to bang your wife, Jaune! Fucking Oum!

Jaune: You're not! Okay! Thank goodness! Goodgoodgoodgood! Because that would have been really weird.

Salem: Look, let me try to be more specific, just so we're on the same page. Basically, what I want is for you and Pyrrha... to forget you were ever married. Okay? That's literally all I want.

Jaune: Right. Right. Cool. Coolcoolcoolcool. So, uh, are we, uh... Are we still going to be dating?

Salem: Yeah, you guys can still date. I don't really give a shit.

Jaune: And then we can just... get married again later, right?

Salem: Yeah, sure, go for it.

Jaune: So instead of my soul, my semblance, my aura, all of that shit, you just want to fuck with me?

Salem: Yeah, it gets kinda boring out here in the Grimmlands. I just wanna cause some drama myself.

Mask Wild 💃 for the ask game!

Oooooooh Mask!Wild loves clothes. The prettier and more elaborate the better. Weird, outlandish, dazzling - they all delight him. He's collected more clothes than he knows what to do with, and has every kind of jewellery he could buy in Gerudo, with every kind of stone set into it.

That said, he's too nervous to actually wear most of his clothes. It's not just the more revealing ones like the barbarian set or the tight ones like the rubber set. He owns several beautifully cut doublets, surcoats with the most incredible embroidery, and half a dozen intricate abayas from the gerudo that he just... doesn't wear.

They're so beautiful. He loves them so much. But he's afraid of looking silly in them. He doesn't want to be judged, and hates drawing attention to himself, so he keeps them folded away and only brings them out occasionally to look at and wish he had the courage to wear them.

-

"Hey what's that?" Sky asked, wandering across the camp.

Most of the others were away from camp, fishing or foraging or up to no good (wind and spirit), and Sky and Wild were the only ones left behind. Sky had been sleeping until a few moments ago, and it looked as if Wild had decided to sort through some of the contents of his slate.

Wild jumped at his voice and shied away, hurriedly bundling up whatever it was he had on his lap.

"Nothing." he signed, but Sky was not to be deterred. He saw how his brother's hand lingered on the embroidered fabric, gold thread against pristine green.

He smiled and sat down beside him, careful not to get too close. Much as his brother was settling into the Chain, he still had strict boundaries and Sky didn't want to push him, not now. It was a day for relaxation, after all.

"That's really pretty." he said. "I love embroidered fabrics like that. It reminds me of back home, though we don't usually wear things that nice unless we're going out somewhere special."

Wild's mask dipped for a moment before his hands came up, the signs small and uncertain.

"I've never worn it." he admitted before slowly, reverently spreading it out for Sky to see.

It was a thing of beauty. A tunic made of forest green silk and heavily embroidered with stylised horses and trees in gold thread. Sky looked at Wild first for permission before running a finger over the threadwork, in awe of the garment.

"It's beautiful!" he gasped. "Why haven't you worn it?"

Wild shrugged, retreating in on himself. "Not really my thing."

Sky frowned. "But... you own it? And you were admiring it just now?"

His brother shifted where he sat, uncomfortable. "I'd look silly in it." he said. "People would laugh. It's better i don't."

"It would be pretty hard for them to laugh," Sky said mildly, "With my fist in their face. Wild, you should totally wear it! Legend would be so jealous! And everyone would love it! And you'd love it! I know you like pretty things!"

Wild hummed, not sounding convinced, but he reached out and ran a wistful hand across the tunic.

Sky leaned in. "Go on." he breathed. "At least try it on. For me."

That did it. Wild's eyes flicked up and Sky would swear he was smiling. He nodded.

"Okay." he said and then gestured to Sky to turn around.

Obediently, the Chosen Hero returned to the fire and waited until he heard Wild's soft footsteps approach. He turned, and grinned.

He looked incredible.

The tunic fitted him perfectly, not too tight but clearly well enough tailored that it sat comfortably around his waist and then hung down to his knees. The neckline was a little lower than he normally wore, showing scarred and pitted flesh down to just below his collarbone, and the sleeves cut off halfway down his forearms, but it looked good. Sky didn't find himself looking at Wild's scars, for all that they were more visible. The tunic looked fabulous on him, and that had his whole attention. He'd even swapped out his mask, exchanging his normal blue one for a matching green edged with swirls of painted leaves.

The effect was glorious.

"Wild, you have to wear this more often." he gushed. "You look amazing. The others are going to love it."

Wild bowed his head, shifting from foot to foot. "Really?" he signed.

Sky nodded emphatically, grinning. "Really!"

Wild looked up at him, and once again Sky was certain he was grinning.

"Thank you, Sky."

A tickle probe and milking machine… used for collection and sensory research.. I promise I’m a good boy… I don’t need any treatment…

You being a good boyyyy is exactly whyyy you need this treatment ~ you won't be naughty noooo not at allll as you are scanned and locked into the machine with all the examination tools spinning and buzzing around. Don't worry about the restraints on your wrists and ankles and chest, that's just normal procedure for your safety. It'll be over so fast, just lickety-split as the feather probes begin humming and twirling down to your navel and hipsss. Just routine examinations and reflex tests, nothing to worry your pretty little head about. The fuzz is designed to stimulate your nerves and help facilitate our data gathering.

Oohh? What was that sound? Now, I know that wasn't a giggle. You're a good boy and you wouldn't laugh at such a serious procedure now would you? Hmm I didn't think so. Now let's get back on track and get those probes up to your underarms so we'll just adjust the frame and lift your arms and go down those muscles. Yes, it's quite necessary for the probes to tremble like that and make those clicky sounds. I know it doesn't bother you because you're a good boy.

My, my. At least, I thought you were. My my my. Making such rude squeaks and giggles now? You'd better keep it together dear, I need to probe under those toes now. Yes, a fuzzy feather probe buzzing under each one. We have to do this in sequence after all. One toe and then the next and then, you guessed it, the next toe. Buzzing and feathering and stimulating. And hmmm ~ let's get the navel probe going faster now. Yes, in and out. Get allll the data from your bellybutton now.

My goodness ~ a moan? Why, I never. Good boys don't make such sounds and oooooooh dear, oooh junebugs, loook at this! Why, you aren't a good boy at all! You're so hard! Naughty naughty thing you. Dirty dirty dirty, getting so awfully aroused from a routine examination? There's only one treatment for a naughty thing like you. We need to drain you dry. Why yes, I do believe we'll be employing the milking machine module now. Oh, are we scared now? I see you shrinking there. Nope, nope nope. You aren't escaping this you awful arouser.

Let's just turn these probes up. Yes, now that I know what these do to you we'll just up your volume and frequency and ~ there we goooo, feather probes buzzing in your armpits and along your sides, and I'll bet you're even sensitive on these hips you naughty thing you. Ah. There we go. Be naughty. I need you extra naughty for the milking. Let's get those buzzies under your toes realllly twirling. Ooh, here it comes dirty boy, look at that. Yes, that red cap is coming for your nasty nasty part. The cap elongates into this sleeve and the insides are specially coated to extract a maximum payload of that ~ that nasty stuff.

Don't you worry your pretty head, we'll get you fixed up right quick. We're gonna get allll that naughtiness out of you, all of it. Yes, yes. Just pull the clicky crank and ~~~ theeere we goooo. There's a boyyyy. The milker likes youuuu. No no, you can't fight this. It won't be removed, nope. And the tickles are gonna keep you just so naughty and making those awful awful sounds. We'll get every naughty giggle and dirty moan out of you, I promise my formerly good boyyyy. We'll get you back to your goodness in no time and then you can sleep it off in the back lounge where we have plenty of giggle therapists on hand to make sure you are completely drained and recovered .

But for now just try to relax ~ anddd who am I kidding ~ you aren't going to relax. You're going to thrash and squirm so perfectly for me. So hotly, as you get so pink in the skin and worked up. Because listen to me ~ the machines aren't stopping. Nope. You're going to be probed and stimulated and drained until you've got nothing left in that naughty pool. Yes, buck and fight it. Give me all your energy. The machine can't be deterred. The milker has you and she's not letting goooo ~ and neither are the feather probes. In fact, let's add one to each of those naughty tush cheeks too ~ put you in your place. Yes, now you can't not buck right into that milker. Mmhmm. Don't resist it. You're gonna give me allll those honeydrops now, all of them. All your giggles too. I'm taking every one of them and then we're taking you in the back to drain you more.

And guess what ~ naughtiness can't be cured, I'm afraid. It can only be mitigated. That means we need to routinely drain you, flush alll that bad stuff out ~ but don't worryyyy we have the best in scanning tech and we'll be checking in on you regularly from now on. And you bet your pennies we'll be there to snatch you up so your naughtiness stays contained, every time. Now then, let's seeee what other sounds we can get outta ya ~<3

Mama and dada

CG! Barnaby Beagle x Cg! Poppy Partridge x Little! YN

Today's your special day! It's your birthday! And what better way to celebrate by baking a cake with your lovely mama and dada?

Tw: mention of pullup and changing, use of stove and knife for baking

"Rise an' shine! Up an' at 'em, lil' tike! It's yer birthday!"

A sudden, sweet bubbly voice filled your nursery room. You open your sleepy eyes, and begin rubbing the sleep out of them. You were still wearing the adorable baby blue sleeper with clouds on them, and your pacifier was clipped to your bib, which read, 'puppy'. Barnaby strode over to your white crib and smiled down at you, leaning his body against the railing. "Well, well, well! who's this lil' cutie?" He teased and tickled your chin, making you giggle with glee. You felt very small today! Just like a little baby. He chuckled and picked you up, feeling how warm you were, and squeezed you in a tight bear hug.

"Oooooooh! So warm and snuggly! You been takin' lessons or somethin'?" Barnaby teased softly as he bounced you in his arms. You giggled before snuggling your face into the crook of his neck and babbling incoherently. Talking felt like too much of a chore this morning. Barnaby laughed and shook his head, finding you absolutely adorable.

"Well then, let's get this lil' pup changed and ready for the day!" He tossed you up and down before laying you on the ground onto a little star coated mat. He pulled out a new pullup and some cute birthday clothes! He got your pullup changed and dressed you in a cute set of overall shorts, with a striped t shirt that said, "Birthday boy/girl". He put a new bib on with a cake slice embroidered on it, and put knee high socks on you, knowing you were likely to stumble onto your knees. He picked you up and patted your back as he carried you and your diaper bag out the house. "Can you guess where your old pops is taking you?" He asked, knowing you already knew the answer. You perked up and shot your hands into the air before exclaiming:

"Mama!" You knew you were going to go to see your mama, Poppy. You couldn't wait! Her barn smelled of cinnamon and vanilla, and her feathery hugs were the most soft and cuddly.... So were your dada's, of course.

Barnaby carried you over to Poppy's barn, occasionally greeting the other neighbors, before knocking on the barn door.

"Hey poppy! Can we get some service 'round here?" He called out in his loud joking voice. Poppy hurried over, occasionally squawking as she bumped into things clumsily.

"Oh my! Hello, Barnaby! Oh!" She gasped softly as she saw you sitting in the blue dog's arms. She immediately reached to pick you up.

"Oh how wonderful! You've brought the little bird along as well! Happy birthday, my little darling." She cooed with her soft accent. she peppered little kisses all over your face with her beak, making you squeal and laugh in joy. Barnaby chuckled and shook his head.

"Hey! Save some for the rest of us, pops!" He grabbed you back and noogied your hair before pressing his muzzle to your face for a long time before letting out an exaggerated kiss noise.

"MWAH! Now we're even!" He chuckled, tossing you up in the air like a doll, all the while poppy panicked.

"OH! Do be careful! I'd hate for my little bird to get hurt!" She squawked as she reached to take you back. She carried you inside the barn, Barnaby trailing behind you two.

"Hey, nice place ya got! How come you don't have me over no more, eh?" Barnaby asked Poppy, giving her a knowing look. Poppy let out a sigh and cradled you tightly to her.

"Because the last time, you and Julie and Eddie made the BIGGEST mess! Poor Eddie's clothes were ruined!" she sighed. Barnaby snickered.

"Ey! It's an improvement! Better than a white shirt with nothin' on it!" he cackled. Poppy set you down on a stepping stool. "Now then! since it's my little bird's special day, why don't we make a delicious cake?" She cooed at you as she showed you her recipe book. Your mouth watered at the sheer amounts of sugary goodness. You sucked on your pacifier long in thought, thinking what cake would taste the best. Then it hit you:

Red velvet!!

You pointed excitedly at the red velvet recipe, and Poppy pulled out the ingredients. She put a little apron on you and ruffled your hair.

"The first step is to pour our flour! Shall we have you do that my lovely little bird?" Poppy handed you the measuring cup. You poured the flour into the bowl and squealed at the cloud of powder. Barnaby chuckled. "Heh, that's nothin! I've seen bigger clouds of baby powder when i'm changin' you, kiddo!" He laughed, making you pout a bit. You were just a little flustered that's all. Poppy waved the cloud away and let you crack the eggs, gasping slightly when you got it all over you. After a quick clean up, the three worked through the recipe, and at the end of the afternoon, were rewarded with the most decadent, richest cake!

They gathered you around the cake and began singing happy birthday:

"Happy birthday to you!" They sang, clapping their hands for you, and Barnaby even did his funny high pitched voice at the end, making you giggle with joy. They even bought presents! (courtesy of Howdy's Bodega of course). Barnaby's gift was a brand new Ragged Anne doll, and a big bouncy ball with beautiful bright colors! Poppy had bought you a brand new baby block set, with colorful blocks, and even little wooden dolls to put in your little block houses!

The three sat together around the dining table feasting on the cake, while showering you with birthday wishes and affection, and making sure you kept yourself clean while Poppy fed you cake.

It was truly an unforgettable birthday.

~END~

disclaimer: trolls band together is a good fun movie and everything im about to say is just like rambling thought experiment territory

anyways. keep thinking abt trolls band together. why isnt viva poppy's mom.

i know the answer is they wanted the sibling theme thru all the major characters, i respect it

but i think it would be cooler if they brought the "bridget is basically poppy's sister by way of poppy saying so" into sharper focus like they keep running into each other on the road trip

(like i thought the implication was bridget and gristles honeymoon was at the vacation muppet place).

maybe have some thematic statement abt how sisterhood/brotherhood doesnt mean squat unless everyones putting themselves into making the relationship supportive. branch's biological brothers get along less than the 2 girls who just decided "hey. i love you. we're twinning for realsies"

then viva being poppy's mom instead just like idk. feels right? i dunno. i feel like itd make king peppy sound a little less incompitent at least. instead of somehow losing a whole daughter maybe he and his wife were leading 2 different groups thru the tunnels and agreed to meet up

but things never worked out bc the minigolf trolls felt trapped 2x. king peppy and the other trolls always kind of hold out hope maybe theyll show up again one day. maybe over the past 2 decades the escape story was told more and more optimistically esp to make the new babies feel better abt it.

pop trolls they LOVE their historical revisionism.

and then maybe poppy feels babied by her mom who wants to keep her safe forever and she looks at branch and goes oooooooh ok i understand the problem here now.

viva still works fine as poppy's sister. it was just like the thoughts lingering in my head after sitting down with the movie.

just my 2 cents. just my little trolls band together rewrite. just m

Ghosts 3x4 Episode thoughts

I am super excited for this. I love going in with complete blindness.

It's made the show so much better. Also, seriously spoiling some stuff in the preview commercial just now.

I love the Halloween stuff.

LMAO at Thor's excitement! He's cute - ohhhhh Sam's response was good.

"Not exactly like a kid on Christmas."

OMG - Sass and Hetty. They are funny.

They are such dorks.

The ghosts are so not great.

Awww "Not the package Thor" - Get arms sliced off.

Hetty has no chill. Apple picking is fun.

I love the faces on Isaac/Trevor's faces when Pete's wife showed up.

Wait, did I miss it - Did Trevor do this?

Oh Pete's so not ready for this.

Ohhhhh Pete/Jay without Jay hearing his support.

Uh oh uh oh.

She's dying from choking? On donut holes????

Also love the seance and 50 year old bag of weed.

Also Trevor/Sass sitting together a lot.

Jay! OMG

Also, what is up with the way Isaac is sitting? It's very .... sexy posy.

OOOOOOOH. That was great - them seeing that.

NO ONE THERE TO WITNESS CAROL'S DEATH???

I love that they really want to see Flower :)

Ohhhhh Jay. Oh, oh, Jay.

Ahhh Jay's ghost notes.

That was definitely graphic, Sass.

Isaac suggesting Jay do it.

Poor Jay, he's so going to do it.

Awww Thor! That's so cute.

Sam lying about the possibility of the parts.

I love Sam as a pumpkin!!!! And them mocking her.

OMG OMG OMG OMG.

Sam talking to Carol not knowing!!!!

I LOVE that they still don't know!!!

OH Poor Pete! "Meow Meow". - Isaac trying to get him to join.

I love how this party is so big! It's perfect!

OMG OMG OMG. "You win the costume contest."

Trevor being like "WE GOTTA TELL SAM"

Sam putting a foot down! And Hetty being like "Well, guess we can't tell her or do anything."

Awwwww the friends are like "AH SAM."

I can't believe she hasn't realized she's talking to a ghost.

"Found the corpse"

OMG they think they killed her???

Hetty being like "Well, I would tell her but she said no." (outdated advice).

They are so freaked out and Jay is NOT Helping!

GOD THIS IS DELIVERING!

I love how cheerful the ghosts are about it.

Jay found her ring!!! COME ON FLOWER!

The ghosts not telling her about Carol 'cause they're made at her!

THEM RUNNING!

OH PETE!

The faces on Isaac and Trevor!

Technically she's right - right about his LIONS!??? SASS OMG.

They thinking that they're murderers!

HOLY FUCK! NO ONE TOLD PETE????

The screaming! No one at the party noticing????

Sass is like "couple of things..."

WOWWWWWW!

Sam is right to be upset!

That is ironic! Honestly!

"The coroner's on the way clearing out the party."

"Since that is all I am good for."

Aww Pete, "What did I do to the Universe?"

This is so fucking funny.

Love Carol asking questions and Trevor's like "Not now".

Just saying, Sam was right to yell at them. and they were petty.

Also, no Isaac speech???

"Hello, my lions!"

So... we're waiting on the last minute... I really hope they don't just sent Carol off 'cause Pete needs to yell at her first!

Carol's questions.... "Let it soak in"

Jay! You're not helping!

Trevor is like "CAROL we're in the middle of something!"

Nothing is happening!

OMG OMG OMG Flower is DOWN A WELL????

YES FLOWER IS NOT GONE!

A wonder if Carol's questions will lead to a nod to Jay's ghost manual!

I love that everyone's like On Pete's Side! YESSSSS.

I'm excited, this was awesome!

TALK TO ME PEOPLE :)

I was rewatching Judgemental Critter's RWBY Beyond review, and while watching the part about Somewhat's episode I realized something

so this is Ambrosius' portal. that's pretty obvious, with the whole blue and yellow aesthetic that all the relics have

now, considering that it seems like Somewhat's episode takes place shortly after V9's end (since that market place, is still being repaired I think), this means that, at the moment of that episode, our "heroes" haven't gotten the relics back yet, since the Boba episode mentions that the gang have been back for weeks already – Ruby's quote: "by the way Yang, you promised we'd go shopping weeks ago" – and yet there was no mention anywhere of the relics somehow being back in their possession (because they prioritize drinking tea and doing Naruto run around the overcrowded, underresourced kingdom over saving the world. lol, lmao even). meaning that Salem's group still has both relics at this point, if not three, considering they fucking nuked Vale offscreen

so here's the thing...

HOW IN THE FUCK DOES ANYONE FROM SALEM'S GANG OF CABBAGES KNOW ABOUT EVERAFTER????

the ONLY characters who were in Everafter and came back out with the knowledge of it (in or close to current time) are RWBYJ. and, if we assume that she's somehow still alive and somehow on Salem's side (somehow), then possibly also Summer.

Neo should most likely still be in her dumbass tree, and even if she isn't and she's back on Remnant, she wouldn't be able to tell (literally) that info to Salem or her gang of failures, because she should remember jackshit about being part of them or them in general, since ascension erases all of your pre-ascension memories. and considering that Neo chose to ascend willingly, I doubt she'd just go "nah, I'm actually pretty good the way I am", then come back with no changes, like Ruby did, and run off to, like, write a lengthy letter to Salem about Everafter or something.

Salem herself can't know about Everafter, because she never had any of the relics in her possession and so never went there. what, did the Brother Gods just randomly roll up to her at some point, after she already turned into Grimm, said "yo, there's this cool Everafter place, we were both born there. here's how you can get to it", and then dipped out? or did she summon Ambrosius and he just started dumping exposition on Everafter onto her unprompted? honestly wouldn't put it past the writers, but let's assume for this that they're not that dumb.

Cinder, Mercury and Tyrian have even LESS chances of knowing about Everafter being real

RWBYJ and anyone from their side have no means of getting there, due to not having relics, like I pointed out before

the ONLY person who could at least somewhat logically come back to Everafter is Summer (again, assuming she's still alive... somehow). she knows how to get there and have already been there, since her weapon is in Blacksmith's workshop. but even if it IS Summer then:

why the hell would she wanna go back there, considering there's nothing for her to get? what, does she suddenly want to help out with the fight against Salem by enlisting a small baby mouse, a deerhare, partially cracked Red Prince and random lads from the market, who don't even know how to fight?

how in the fuck would she even get her hands on the staff if it's with Salem? I doubt she stole it while Salem was too busy monologuing and glaring into the distance or something like that

and if we go with the logical option of Summer still actually being dead, then it doesn't change anything and we're still in the same spot we were if we'd assumed she was secretly alive

so really this final portal thing just makes zero sense. and it's clear why this makes zero sense – because Kerry just wanted to shove some big, cool cliffhanger at the end of the episode to bait people into giving them more money on their show with worse than mediocre writing. "oooooooh, you wanna see who the fuck entered the Everafter at the end there? well, ya gotta give us more money first! pretty pleaaaaaaaaase🥺🥺"

Modern Hearts Chapter 12

Chapter 11 here

******

Normal Y/N would never do this, but drunk Y/N was feeling bold.  Still in the same clothes you were at the bar, you stumbled out of your dorm, went next door, and knocked on Shouta's door.  You put your ear up against the door to see if you could hear anything; it is late and he could be sleeping already.  Feeling bold, you knocked a second time, and this time, you heard footsteps making their way towards the door.  Shouta finally opened it, and saw you standing there, swaying a bit.  Even in your drunken state, you could tell he had still been awake.  

"Y/N, are you okay?" Shouta asked.  You hiccuped in response, then began giggling.  You pushed your way towards the inside, not even waiting for an invitation from him.  "Oooooooh, Shouta, your dorm is so....you."  You giggled again.  "Y/N, why are you here?" he asked you.  You turned around in the spot you were in to face him and asked, "why did you leave so early tonight?  I thought you were having fun...*hiccup*"  He responded immediately, "Y/N, you're clearly drunk.  Let's get you to the living room so you could sit."  And with that, he put his arm around your shoulder and led you into the living room.

His touch felt hot, even through clothing.  You looked up towards him while he guided you, and said "you smell good."  He just looked down towards the floor and blushed in response.  You hiccuped again, "hehe, you're so cute when you blush!"  This made him blush even harder.  "Here we are, why don't you sit down?" where he gently pushed you down to sit on the couch.  "Sit down next to me, Shouta."  He looked down at you, "I will, first I am going to get you a glass of water."

You watched him walk into the kitchen, where he had his back turned towards you.  You couldn't help but look at his broad shoulders, thinking about how much he really grew up from the small, thin child that he was into the...man he was today.  He came out of the kitchen back into the living room, where you got out of your trance.  He approached you, handing you the glass of water, simply saying "drink."  Then he looked down at you, and asked how long the three of you had stayed after he left.  "A few hours, we then went to go get some fast food to *hiccup* try and sober up."  

He finally sat down next to you on the couch, to where you instinctively inched closer to him.  "Shouta *hiccup* I'm so glad we're friends again. I really am so sorry I lost touch with you by high school."  He looked at you thoughtfully for a moment, "Y/N, I already told you, it's okay. You don't need to worry yourself."  You put your glass of water down on his coffee table, spilling it a little.  "Oopsie, hehehe, sorry," you stammered out.  Suddenly, you found yourself cupping Shouta's face with both of your hands, saying "you know, you really grew up to be a handsome man," lightly tracing the scar under his right eye with your thumb.

You inched even closer to him on the couch, while still cupping his face in your hands. "I *hiccup* want to kiss you, hehe."  At this point, Shouta gently grabbed your hands from his face and put them down in your lap.  "Y/N, I don't want you to do anything you will regret tonight. You are not yourself right now, and I would never take advantage of that."  You felt yourself blushing at his statement; deep down, even in your drunken state, you knew he was right.  Instead, what you did was get even closer to him on the couch, and lean your head on his shoulder, and put your hand on top of his.  "Is this okay, then?" you sweetly asked him.

"This is fine," he replied, gently leaning his head back against yours. "I really am glad we're back in each other's lives.  No one ever forgets their first best friend," you said, when you suddenly found your eyelids getting heavy.  "I'm really *hiccup* sleepy."  Suddenly, Shouta pulled his head off of yours, gently pulled your head away from his shoulder, and stood up.  "I know you're right next door, Y/N, but you look like you're about to pass out.  Let me take you to my bedroom where you can sleep, and I'll sleep out here on the couch."  

With that, he got you up, put his arm around your shoulder once again, and led you towards his bedroom.  He sat you down on his neatly made bed, took your booties off, and laid you down on the bed.  "Goodnight Y/N, sleep well," he said to you gently.  You felt your eyelids getting even heavier at that point, "goodnight, Shouta.  I wish it was you who asked for my number tonight..."  And with that, you drifted off into a dreamless sleep, leaving a bewildered-looking Shouta standing over you.  After several moments, he walked out of the room, turned the lights off, and shut the bedroom door behind him.
