masky b like "i am a weapon i am angry i am afraid, the operator will never touch tim again, no one will ever touch us again i don't care what i need to do i will kill anything that gets near me i don't know who i am outside of this, outside of the operator, outside of anger and fear and hospitals and doctors and the ringing in my ears and blood in my vomit but as long as i live i will not rest, i will stay vigilant and white-knuckled and ready at all times for anything and everything, nothing will hurt us again nothing will ever touch us ever again"

and then brian b like "hey. hey, i'm tim's friend. i'm your friend. we have a common goal. we have no one else we can turn to. hey, let's team up. let's work together. we can stop this. we can end all of this, if we have each other. i won't tell tim. we won't tell anyone. we will hide our faces, and we will watch and listen and wait. we will talk in codes and alex will die. hey, you don't need to be so tense all the time. you dont have to be tough around me. here, let me see your hands. here, let me touch your face. has anyone ever been gentle with you? have you ever let anyone be as close to you as i am? here, let me hold you for a little bit. do you trust me? we are not safe, but when we are together, we can be."

Dp x dc twin au where Danny and Damian were in fact conjoined/siamese twins, but the most dangerous type - one head, two bodies.

Their early removal from talia being because their shape would not have allowed for natural birth, they were written off but talia begged for the chance to send them off in the lazarus pit.

By some bizarre miracle, before she turned to leave, two small bodies bobbed to the surface - identical in every way, except for the eyes. The previous blue eyes now split in two, one left, one right, and the new eyes, pit created, a bright green.

She took her child, her two children, and together, they survived.

Being removed prematurely, their early years were tough, but soon they blossomed into promising heirs for the league. In sync with every step, the closest of brothers, the league was certain the old fairy tale of twins being telepathic had been granted by the pit that separated them, the remnants of being born as one mind, one brain, one skull.

But then Danny had to flee, and leave his other half behind. Stretched by distance for the first time, the bond grew thin and stretched, and Damian grieved his brother as dead. When he started being sent on public missions, he hid his distinctive heterochromia, choosing the green in memory of the pit that had given him and his brother life.

Danny, hiding his pit aura in the ocean's worth that was Amity park, took to blue, the colour that he and Damian were born with.

Damian moves to Gotham, and continues to mourn his brother as dead, right until one day when he is twelve, when he learns what the death of your other half truly feels like.

-

Their reunion is a thing of family legend. Violence runs hot in both bloodlines, ghosts are highly emotional and prone to fighting a the drop of a hat for bonding, playing, testing, every reason under the green sun. Their training and play often consisted of friendly spars, competitive spars, furious spars, venting spars. Both have been exposed to unhealthy amounts of ecto since before their birth.

There is a long, long minute of staring, before they rip themselves away and lunge at each other like wolves.

The bat family are horrified by their brutally efficient youngest suddenly barreling towards a clone (?) and trying to claw his throat open with his bare hands while openly sobbing.

It ends with them wrapped around each other crying into the others shoulder as their minds finally meet again and relax from the painful stretch for the first time in years.

But nobody else has any idea what to do.

i can't stop imagining katniss and peeta as modern-day teenage runaways...

picture "we've been watching each other struggle to survive in different ways for years. you're always in the back of my mind when i can't sleep at night. then one night we're both drunk at a house party and your mask slips and you say 'stay with me a while?' and i do and we end up making out because we're both desperate to Feel Something. and i wish you could go back to being an idea in my head again. i can't need anything. but now my little sister needs surgery in another state and you have to help me steal from this wealthy drunk in town so i can pay for it. i would ask my best friend but he has too much to lose and you know it. and once we have the money we'll flee in your older brother's crushed soda can of a car and stay in dingy motels while evading the authorities and i'll realize we've been helping each other Stay Alive this whole time."

imagine beefing with Bruce Wayne and then he buys the company you work for. and then STILL being friends with him afterward.

Every so often I am struck by how truly wonderful the zutara ship is. Unreal chemistry? Check. Mutual support? Double check. Fits so many great tropes my head is going to explode while also somehow being completely unique? Check times a million.

i love that zhu saw how messed up ouyang is and went like, "hmm...maybe bdsm will fix him?"

[lycoryves]

yuri brain: hey. hey do you ever think about the fact that one of the times kisa smiles the widest in ANY jack jeanne cg is when she’s with ao at the beach.

me, trying to go to sleep: PLEASE shut up

(more nonsensical aokisa bs under the cut)

yuri brain: do you ever think about the fact that ao, who seems to idolize everyone at univeil EXCEPT kisa who she just admires like a regular person, is a direct parallel to sou who admires everyone at univeil but idolizes (read: objectifies) kisa. do you ever think about the fact that both of their treatments of her are informed by the fact that they know she’s a girl because of their history with her. do you ever think about ao having a crisis over gallant, graceful, beautiful kisa knowing that she can’t truly be with her *cough* FRIEND without putting her future at risk, while sou starts unintentionally hurting kisa's chances by being so dependent on her that neji expresses open hesitation to putting her on stage opposite him? do you???

[deci-dono]

Also tbh by outright ignoring the fact that Atem wants to be his own person who has a life separate from Yugi, you also look right past the delicious, delicious layers of emotional turmoil between them where Atem tries so hard to pretend that he's okay being Yugi's Alter Ego to avoid hurting his feelings but even then he can't stop himself from lying to Yugi and going to the museum and entering Battle City.

If Arcane was going to show us a “perfect world”, an alternate universe where Zaun never sunk (which is already a thing btw!) makes infinitely more sense than implying that Vi's death would fix classism somehow.

jjk has so many angst inspirations! What if Jason gets fake Getoed, with a forehead stich to get Bruce and Dick? Technically already happened with clayface, but this time it would be his actual body and memories, oh the angst! Also, the clapping scene is inspiring me to write something with it 😈

What if Jason tries to make a joke out of it. Either because he watched JJK or because he took inspiration from Frankenstein and wants to gaslight his family into believing he’s an imposter in a dead boy’s body. Grave Pretender, but make it JJK inspired 👀

That would be so unnerving for real… I think Bruce would be able to get himself under control fairly quickly after ascertaining what kind of psychopath hijacked his kid’s body. But with Dick I can absolutely see him incapable of putting a single finger on Jason. The moment “Jason” smiles at him and calls him brother or something, it’s gonna be over 😭😭😭😭

ok but like marauders young royals au with marylene as stella+fredrika when???

wemmbu pride drabbles day 2

requested by @/cloneximio-877 (not tagging because idk if they want to be tagged or not) for the evil wemmfies yuri oh my god yippee ^_^ ^_^

read tags first as they give a lot of context >_< u dont have to tho!!!

wemmbu took another swing at the air. she... she needed to be stronger, to be better. she couldn't live up to mane's standards, she couldn't be anything useful to "team friendship"- she couldn't kill clown or ash-, she couldn't fight off jaden and the pirates, she.. she couldn't protect rejoice.. or wifies.

she swung her axe into an arc, though pulling a muscle in her shoulder on the way down. the diamond avoided her armor and cut through her skin. okay, that's fine. wifi- an old friend had taught her some basic first-aid. she's fine.

still, wemmbu couldn't help the way she stumbled back from the shock. she shoved her axe into the dirt below her and took off her chestplate to check the wound, carefully checking the area around her for anybody. the results were positive, as there wasn't anybody. at least, that's what she thought.

her blood had already begun gushing out. great. she'd have to get to a more safer place immediately to properly take care of it.

suddenly, a set of hands- strangely familiar- met her waist from behind. "let me," the person said. before wemmbu could thrash out of their hold, her vision spotted and she went limp in their arms.

...

when wemmbu woke up- most likely hours later, which wasn't good-, she was met with a stoney ceiling and dim lighting. it was not day anymore- she could tell. or maybe her captor had a really good way of blocking out the light in a cave.

"you're awake." a voice sounded beside her, smooth and honey-sweet. a hand ran over her forehead to check her temperature and then through her hair. "you have a fever- you've been pushing yourself, dear.."

dear? why.. was that so familiar...?

they seemed to be amused by wemmbu's reaction- which she personally thought there to be a lack of. "you're so cute when you're thinking.."

"who- who are you-?" she asked, attempting to sit up. the anonymous person's hand dropped to her chest, pushing her back down. which, makes sense- wemmbu already felt her head spinning just from that small movement.

they hummed disapprovingly, clicking their tongue. "no, no, no.." they chastised with a sigh. "you're weak right now, dear.. you have to rest."

"who are you..?" wemmbu asked again, more determined to get her answer. the person was so.. delicate, familiar. their other hand gently held her own, thumbing the callouses on her knuckles. no one has treated her like.. like this. not for a while now.

they just laughed and, out of the corner of her eye, wemmbu could spot the shadow of horns.

"you needn't worry, dear.." they said, hand returning to her cheek. "just rest. no more thinking, no more fighting, just... be."

wemmbu felt her eyes slipping shut. "b-.. but.." her caretaker cuts her off. "sh sh shh.. no more."

they smile as wemmbu finally loses consciousness again. "that's it.." they murmur with a sigh, watching her muscles loosen in her sleep. "you've not changed since the you lost me.."

i see them very platonically :3

[freminetistic]

Freminet and Collei have a complex dynamic to me. I feel like Freminet would envy her, she got to run away from the Fatui as a kid while his life in completely engraved with it, he cant escape it even if he tried, she got to. She has a family outside of the Fatui and a home. He doesnt have that. He hates how she angers him and how much he wishes to be her. Collei can never bring herself to fully trust him, hes a Fatui. He will always be a Fatui, and she hates them for what they did to her. She dislikes him for that, even as they become friends she still feels that deep hatered. Even if she becomes trusting of him theres still unsettling feeling in her chest constantly reminding her shes a fatui, no matter how matter how much she tries to push it away it is always there. They would never work romantically, as friends sure. Maybe in another universe where the Fatui doesn't exist they can be together. But not in this one.

They feel like the toxic relationship you'd have in middle school and never talk about again.
