A/N: This chapter contains content that could be politically challenging for some. While this chapter comes off as a little bit pro-life vibes at times, this author is very much pro-choice and anyone who tries to start a debate about it in the comments will be swiftly blocked.

After showering you’d both settled in to sleep, with Killer lending you one of his old band shirts to sleep in. It was oversized and comfortable on you, more like a dress, and reminded you of when you first came on board and had to borrow his clothes after an untimely period. You woke early, overcome by nausea and running to the toilet. Killer sighed as he knelt on the bathroom tile behind you, holding your hair out of your face.

“Yin, it’s been almost three days since you started puking, are you sure you’re okay?” he asked with concern.

“Yeah, it's fine,” you groaned before puking again, “I hit my head last night, it's probably just that. I’ll be fine after a shower. What’s the time? I gotta get to the morning watch”

“No, you don’t,” Killer grumbled before scooping you up and placing you on the bench top next to the sink. You watched with fondness as he ran your toothbrush under the water to soften the bristles before adding toothpaste and handing it to you. You started brushing obediently, washing away any hint of puke from your mouth. “Heat volunteered to take the next shift so you can sleep in, you had a rough night”

“I’m fine, really!” you pouted after spitting the toothpaste, hopping off the counter and rinsing your mouth with a hand scoop of water.

“You’re not, you need to go see Mohawk again,” Killer crossed his arms and you felt like a scolded child, “something is clearly wrong”

“Fine, mother,” you grumbled, returning to the bed and nestling back under the blankets, “but I want cuddles first”

“Deal,” Killer smiled as he climbed in next to you.

Nobody came to bother Killer to make breakfast, the commanders just made do with whatever the rest of the crew were eating, knowing you needed him more than they needed his cooking. The two of you skipped breakfast, not that you had the appetite anyway. He’d dragged you along to the infirmary as soon as you were awake for the day, grumbling at him the whole time that you were really fine and this was unnecessary. You’d stopped by your room for a change of clothes, finding it to be spotlessly clean, which brought a smile to your face. Your rug was missing though, it was likely stained, you made a mental note to buy a new one tomorrow.

Mohawk was already in the infirmary when you got there, scribbling away at some papers to update notes after last night, and that was where you found yourself now, sitting on a cot, a thermometer held under your tongue and Mohawk looking in your ears with one of his tools. The thermometer beeped to indicate it was done and he pulled it out of your mouth, inspecting it with a frown.

“Slightly higher than normal, but you did just wake up,” he mumbled, “It’s probably just your cycle raising your basal temp”

“Basal temp?” you asked curiously as he fumbled around with his stethoscope, pressing it to your chest and listening as you took deep breaths.

“Your temperature goes down when you sleep, but ovulation and pregnancy can raise it,” he paused for a moment and stood up, looking nervously at Killer who was leaning against the infirmary wall before looking back at you with a raised eyebrow. “Yin, when was the last time you had your period?”

“When I came on board,” you were kicking your legs over the side of the bed, not a care in the world. Between the effects of your birth control and malnutrition, you could probably count on your fingers the amount of times you��d had your period since the marines locked you up.

“You said she was good for another year,” Killer warned, then his posture suddenly straightened, “-but that was when we thought she was twenty five”

Mohawk’s posture mirrored Killer’s, anxiously looking at you, then back to Killer, “Is she not twenty five?”

“She’s twenty seven, we only found out recently” Killer replied.

“Oh, oh fuck,” Mohawk suddenly rushed to a cabinet and pulled out a small plastic, disposable cup. He shoved it in your hands, and you quirked a brow, still not catching on. “Go piss in this, now” he commanded.

“Fucking bossy,” you grumbled, sliding off the bed and disappearing into the attached bathroom. There was a flush and the sound of running water before you reemerged, and he quickly took the cup of pee from you and placed it on the counter. “Why the panic?”

“I calculated the expiry of your birth control based on the age you gave me versus when you remember first using them,” Mohawk was searching through the cabinets for something, “if you’re two years older than we thought, then your birth control is at least a year expired. You’ve been unprotected this whole time.” You realised with a panic what was happening and Killer took your hand, sensing you were about to start hyperventilating. Mohawk found what he was looking for and returned to the piss cup, quickly unwrapping something, dipping it, and replacing the cap. He placed it on the counter and tipped the rest of the pee down the sink, running the water to flush it while he threw out the cup and his gloves.

He stood in silence with his back to the two of you for what felt like an eternity, staring at the item on the counter intently, before letting out a groan. “Fuck.”

Killer rushed ahead and pushed him out of the way, grabbing what you now saw was some sort of stick and closely inspecting it. “FUCK,” he yelled, dropping the item and immediately slamming his fist through a cabinet door. You whimpered behind him, standing alone and scared in the middle of the room, knowing full well what their reactions meant. He turned at your whimper, seeing the tears already starting to roll down your cheeks as you hugged yourself for comfort.

“Fuck, Yin, I’m sorry,” he rushed to your side and enveloped you in a tight hug as you started to sob. “It’s okay, I’m here, we’ll deal with it okay.”

“Kil, morning sickness can start as early as two weeks, it usually happens first trim-” Mohawk started.

“I KNOW MOHAWK,” Killer growled, “Shut up, let me think”

“I can’t carry their baby, I can’t,” you sobbed, understanding the calculations Mohawk had already done and what he was inferring, “I can’t bring a baby made from hate into this world”

“It’s okay Yin, shh, you don’t have to,” Killer was holding you tight as you cried, rubbing your back soothingly.

“I don’t have the equipment on board to deal with it,” Mohawk sighed, “but the next island should. It seemed progressive enough. We're due to dock tonight, we can take her tomorrow”

“Hear that sweetheart?” Killer cooed, “Just one night okay, we’ll get that thing out of you tomorrow, just be brave until then okay?”

You nodded against his chest and tried to even your breathing that was quickly bridging on a panic attack. “Please don’t tell anyone.”

“We won’t,” Killer assured, “nobody outside this room needs to know about this”

“Okay,” you sniffed, holding on tight to him.

The three of you sat nervously in the small, quaint waiting room of the local doctor’s office. Killer was holding your hand, but his knee was bobbing up and down nervously, only adding to your anxiety. The ship had gotten in early this morning, slightly delayed by poor winds. The commanders had all headed straight to an inn to drop their things before heading out to run errands and enjoy the island properly this time, and Killer had insisted you stay with him. You’d given no complaint, more than relieved to know you wouldn’t be alone. Mohawk had explained what was going to happen, and you knew you’d be in pain for a few days after the procedure. Killer had promised to take care of you, and gave Kid some excuse about wanting to spend time alone with you to account for his absence.

“Ms. Val?” a short, young looking woman with a clipboard called. The three of you all stood and she looked with scrutiny at your group. One masked beast of a man, one skinny guy with a mohawk, and one very scared looking girl. You probably looked like you were being held captive by the obvious pirates. “Only two are allowed in the room,” she continued.

Mohawk approached her and handed her a file of papers. “I’m the ship doctor, please give these to the attending doctor, it’s all the notes I have on her.” The woman nodded and took the file, and Mohawk stepped aside for Killer, who took your hand and led you to follow the woman. She took you both to a room and indicated for you to enter, before following in and handing the files to a slightly older woman who was sitting at a desk. You were relieved to find the doctor was a female, that would make things more comfortable for you. She skimmed through the notes before spinning her chair to address the two of you.

“Doctor Winston,” she held her hand out and you each shook it, “and you are Ms. Val? Yes? Is this Mr. Val?”

“Yes,” you both answered at the same time. It was easier for everyone if they assumed he was your husband, especially since some islands were known to only perform abortions with the husband’s permission.

“I see in your notes that your ship doctor has confirmed pregnancy, and that you have been a victim of sexual assault,” she looked at you softly, with a face that showed sympathy, but with a lack of surprise that told you this was clearly not her first encounter with a victim like yourself. “Am I right in assuming you would like to terminate, given the nature of how you fell pregnant?”

“Yes, that’s correct,” you replied, trying your best to be brave and fein confidence. Killer squeezed your hand reassuringly.

“On this island we don’t need you to sign anything, no records will be kept of the termination, but we do need to confirm the age of the fetus before we can proceed,” she turned back to her desk and pressed an intercom button, “This is Winston, can you bring the ultrasound please?” She turned back to you and Killer. “The procedure we use will depend on the age of the fetus, if it’s early enough we may be able to just send you away with medication. Otherwise there is a quick procedure we can do before you go”

“My doctor explained it,” you replied calmly, “I just want this thing gone”

“We’re gonna help you sweetheart,” she smiled. There was a short knock at the door and the doctor got up to answer it, pulling a trolley with some sort of machine on it into the room. “I’m going to need you to lay on the bed with your tummy exposed please darling. Your husband is welcome to stand at your head if you need support”

Killer helped you up onto the bed and you pulled up your shirt and lowered the waistband of your skirt to expose your belly. It was painfully obvious, now that you knew you were pregnant, that the weight you had been putting on was because of that, and not because of eating well. Well, maybe a little because of eating well. Killer stood beside you and held your hand near your head as the doctor set up the machine and squirted a cold, blue liquid onto your tummy. She used some sort of curve-ended wand to rub over your belly, and you could see dark shapes on the screen broken up by grey and white shapes as she rolled the wand over your skin. There was a large, black, squashed oval in the center of the screen, with a smaller white thing in the middle that she pointed to.

“That’s the fetus,” she explained, clicking a few buttons on the machine and moving some sort of cursor to take measurements. The blob looked like nothing, just a jelly bean, but you felt a tinge of guilt about wanting to get rid of it. Maybe you could keep it, raise it with Killer, keep its true parentage a secret and just tell everyone Killer was the biological father. It was probable, nobody would question it. “I’d say it’s about two months old, based on the size and level of development.”

Killer stiffened beside you, his hand clamping down on yours almost painfully, “Two months? Not three weeks? You’re sure?”

“One hundred percent,” she pointed to the screen again, “This fetus is beginning to develop little fingers and ears, it’s no doubt at least eight weeks old, I would hazard a guess at close to nine weeks, I’m not a gynaecologist though so I can’t give you an exact, but definitely around the eight to nine week range”

“Kil?” He was stiff and silent as he stared at the screen.

“It’s mine,” he almost whispered. The doctor looked at him with a warm smile.

“What?” you propped yourself up on your elbows looking between Killer, and the little jellybean on the screen he was still focused on. His mask finally tilted to look at you for a moment, before returning to the jellybean.

“Eight weeks ago was the island,” he explained. The doctor didn’t know what he was talking about, probably assuming he was referring to some contraceptive mishap during an island vacation, but she was happy to hear that it didn't match the timing of your assault. “It’s my baby”

“Oh,” you realised, looking back at the screen and blinking as the realisation set in. “Doctor, can you give us a minute?”

The doctor stood and wiped the goop off your belly, switching off the machine and pushing it out as she left. “You can press number one on the intercom system when you’re ready, just press it once, it’ll buzz me out here”

There was a short awkward silence as you sat up on the bed, righting your clothing, your feet hanging over the edge. Killer was still standing, staring at the same place, like the screen hadn’t been rolled away.

“Killer?” you took his hand, grounding him in reality again and reminding him that you needed him. He pushed between your legs and rested his mask against your forehead, sighing deeply.

“I’m not asking you to keep it, but I want it, if you do,” he whispered softly, “I know it's not a great situation, we didn’t plan for this, we’re barely together, and you’ve been through so much. If you don’t want it, I’ll be here for you through that too, whatever you decide. But if you want it, I’ll be a good father, I know I will, I’ll take good care of both of you”

It sounded like he was pleading with you, but it didn’t matter, you’d already made up your mind regardless of what he wanted. “I’m keeping it, Kil,” you ran a hand under the edge of his mask and swiped a thumb over his cheek, catching a small tear you didn’t expect to be there.

“You don't have to do that,” he was still whispering, like he was scared talking at his full volume would entirely scare you away, “I won't be mad if you get rid of it, or if you never want kids”

“Kil, look at me,” you tilted his chin so you could see his watery blue eyes through the holes of his mask, “I wanted to keep it as soon as I saw it on the screen, the only thing holding me back was whether you'd accept it as yours, because I can't do this on my own. As soon as you claimed it I knew I was keeping it, regardless of whether you wanted it or not. This child was made with an act of love, and I know in my heart that I want them, I want that piece of you. Go summon the doctor back, my choice is made” You held his mask and kissed the top of it where his forehead would be before letting him go to press the intercom button. He hurried back to your side, nestling himself back between your legs. You held him close and rested your chin on his shoulder, and he did the same for you.

The doctor made a quick knock on the door before opening it and sliding in, closing it behind her with her foot since she was carrying a metal tray of utensils. Your eyes widened in fear and Killer perked his head up in response, hearing your breath quicken as the tray was set down beside you.

“I don't- I don't want that,” you hurriedly told the doctor, “I want to keep it”

“It's okay sweetheart,” the doctor cooed, “I figured you did, the way you smiled when you heard it was your husband's. Your notes said you have an expired contraceptive implant in your arm, so either way I was going to have to remove it”

“Oh,” you immediately calmed down and Killer likewise relaxed.

“I'm going to need hubby to move out of the way for a bit, but this will only take a few minutes,” the doctor said as she washed her hands methodically and put on a set of gloves. “This will just prick for a second, and then it'll numb the surrounding area. It's perfectly safe for the baby.” She assured you, answering your question before you even had a chance to ask as she prepped a syringe of fluid. Killer moved to stand on the other side of you, still holding your hand.

The doctor pressed two fingers on your soft inner forearm to feel for the two small plastic rods that made up the implant, before wiping the area with a alcohol swab and carefully inserting the needle. You squeezed Killer's hand, which felt silly. You were an army destroying, man slaughtering, killing machine, but you felt vulnerable right now and it made the prick of the needle feel scary. Killer made a little huff of amusement under his mask and you pouted at him.

“I'm just going to make a small incision, then I'll remove the rods and give you a stitch or two, and you'll be good to go,” she pressed the dull side of the scalpel against your skin, “can you feel that?”

You shook your head and she gave you a calming smile before making a small cut. You didn't watch, keeping your gaze on some poster about vaccines on the opposite wall instead, but you could feel the strange numb poking and prodding as she did her work. She really only did take a few minutes, almost as soon as she'd started she was applying a small patch of gauze over the cut.

“All done mama,” she smiled, “now, I'm sure given the affectionate display I walked in on that the answer is yes, but I wouldn't be doing my job given the bruising on your side and neck if I didn't ask if you feel safe sweetheart”

You gave a small giggle as you slid off the bed before answering, “You should see the other guy. Yeah I'm okay, got my big bad guard dog to protect me,” you smiled, scratching Killer's goatee like he was your prized purebred Mastiff. He huffed under the mask at you.

“Alright then,” the doctor smiled, seeing there was no hint of fear in your eyes to indicate a lie, “my assistant informed me that your ship's doctor is in the waiting room, nice of them to come along. If you'd be so kind as to send them my way, I'll make sure they have all the information they need to look after your pregnancy. I know not all ship doctors have medical degrees, but who can afford a fancy piece of paper these days, aye?”

“Thank you doctor,” Killer held out his hand to shake hers again, and she smiled fondly at him as she shook it, genuinely thankful to have been able to give you both good news. It was a welcomed change from her usual work, which often consisted of helping victims of abuse, often scared women who were alone and terrified of the thing growing inside them. It wasn't every day a woman came in with a support system, and certainly not every day that the woman decided to keep the baby thanks to unexpected good news, so this had been a refreshing appointment for her. She turned to open your notes and scribble in her own additions so she could hand the updated file back to Mohawk. Killer took your hand gently and led you from the room, back out to the waiting room where Mohawk was pacing back and forth nervously.

His pacing stopped as he noticed you both approaching, his eyes quickly skipping between the two of you, noting your beaming smile and Killer's calm demeanour. “What happened?” he asked curiously.

“The fetus is eight to nine weeks old, not three or four,” Killer replied. His tone was flat and calm, but under the mask he was grinning ear to ear.

“Eight?” Mohawk replied, “but that would mean… oh, oh,” Mohawk grinned back at Killer and smacked the top of his arm, “you fucking dog, congratulations dad, I'm guessing you're keeping it then?”

“Yeah, we are,” Killer's voice was full of fondness as his mask tilted down towards you for a moment, “doc wants to talk to you, second room on the left.” Killer indicated behind him with his thumb and Mohawk gave him a sturdy pat on the back as he passed by.

“Don't wait up for me you two,” Mohawk laughed, “you lovebirds have a lot to talk about. Go enjoy your freedom while you can”

Killer gave him a grunt in response and rested his hand on your waist to lead you away.

[NEXT CHAPTER]

A/N: I'm doing my best here to be accurate with the medical stuff but I've never actually had an abortion, all I have is good ol’ google. I have however had the type of contraceptive mentioned, and I've had a baby, so I have a fair idea of how those two things go. I'll try to be accurate with the pregnancy stuff but everyone has a different experience, and I will be slightly dramatising it for entertainment. It'll be mostly as accurate as I can make it though. Enjoy the pregnancy fluff while it lasts. Don't worry, things will go to shit again soon *evil laughter*

Anyway, I'm really proud of this chapter. If you reread you'll find hints that this was going to happen as far back as the island itself, it took a lot of planning to get to this point. And for the curious, the timing mentioned is accurate, I've been keeping track for this very purpose. It's been 62 days since they first boned on the island, give or take a few days from dubious time passing mentions, and 25 days since they got her back from the marines. For the extra curious, it's been about 106 since the story started. Not enough time to say I love you imo but hey it's fanfiction, I make the rules here lmao

Tumblr keeps crashing each time I send this so I gotta be quick: do have any tips on how to study biology (college is not an option atm)

Oh boy! I will do my best!

I've listed the basic irl resources for biological information first, followed by some online resources.

I've got a strong Animalia bias, so apologies that I don't have any botany-specific sites for you. 😔

I'm sure there's some stuff I'm forgetting. I'll add on to this if I think of anything!

If there's anything specific you need help finding a reliable biological resource for, let me know and I will try my best to help find you something!

•••

Finding primary sources (stuff written by the scientists who did the research [i.e. a journal article]) is always very good, but reliable secondary resources (someone else summarizing other people's research [i.e. Wikipedia page, book]) can be very valuable as well.

•••

Meatspace Resources

I would highly recommend checking to see if there is a Nature Park in your area! Nature parks often have volunteer programs and/or free educational opportunities. In my experience, naturalists are always very excited to meet new people interested in learning about local ecology!

There's also Zoos and Aquariums of course, although I know they cost money and are typically geared more towards kids. I'm lucky to live near some nice ones. Maybe check if there are any special programs happening at Zoos/Aquariums in your area (by checking their website[s]), where you might learn more than you would on a normal day trip.

Plus natural history museums, which usually have rotating exhibits so that you can keep learning new things when you come back! They also have more of an all-ages vibe than Zoos in my experience. Once again dependant on if there's one near you, and not free.

Last but not least: the local library, although obviously not every published book is a flawless resource. Still, might be interesting to poke around! There's usually some sort of digital search catalogue to make finding things easier. Libraries are fun :)

•••

Online Resources

Jstor is GREAT. Not all jstor articles are open access/free, but some are! And you can set a search filter to show you only things you can access.

One good way to find out what experts have written for other experts about biology: search a species name or biological concept or type of experimental study, etc. etc., in jstor's journal articles. I've linked a search for journal articles "I can access" containing the word "biology" as an example.

The website layout can feel a little obtuse at first but I think if you fiddle around with it a bit, it's not too bad to figure out? Feel free to kick my ass if I'm wrong djgjkeg

Wikipedia is actually a very good place to introduce yourself to a lot of biological concepts. I would recommend checking out some of the sources yourself if you can-- usually at least some of them are free, and that can introduce you to new free resources for learning more (today I discovered bugguide.net!). Often they will link you to jstor.

But biology-focused wiki pages have a pretty good track record for Correct Information in my experience. The only issue I've run into is there being too little information sometimes.

Pubmed is a really good resource to read biomedical scientific papers for free if that interests you at all! Reading scientific papers is a really important skill and I think you can pick up a lot just by diving in and googling words you don't know.

A well-designed experiment is replicable (that is, you can understand from the paper how they set things up to the point that you could do it yourself, given the resources). It's also important to pay attention to sample size. The more times you replicate any process in an experiment, the more likely you will be able to identify what the most common result really is, and why.

Fishbase is a website I was introduced to in my icthyology class to find info about different fish species :) It kind of just dumps all the info on you in a big text wall, but many pages include great details about life cycle and diet that might go unmentioned on wiki pages.

I've never used bugguide.net before today, but so far it seems solid and like it has a lot of good info. I assume it is similar to fishbase but for bugs

EDIT: FREE ONLINE TEXTBOOKS I FORGOT ABOUT!!!

I used both of these for university classes at some point. I didn't use them much, so there may be issues I don't know about.

In my experience though they were solid resources, if a little confusingly worded at times. Bouncing between the textbooks and wikipedia tended to help me.

Master and Crazy Handcanons

Both:

Both are collectors, hobby-wise. They also enjoy sparring and partaking in games + competitive activities.

Born from the same source, twin brothers. Perhaps even the same person. Regardless, two halves of a whole.

It did take Crazy Hand some time to make his presence known to the smashers but Master Hand always knew him.

MH used to be rather ashamed of CH because of his role as a destructive other half, but learned to accept his presence. On the other hand, once upon a time CH was very envious of MH's ability and drive to create but learned to appreciate his own abilities.

Both are charismatic. While they present as more antagonistic, in the end it's all kayfabe and they care a lot about the smashers.

Oversee everything, basically. Doing a lot of behind the scenes work with the help of spirits, miis and other powerful beings throughout the worlds. MH does the more general stuff, and CH the dirtier work

kind of aware of the meta of everything being a video game, kind of not. Schrodingers 4th wall awareness. when it's quirky.

Both go by he/him.

rest is under the cut for length

Master Hand:

The Creator. The Ringleader. Voice of reason.

Used to play up the evil ambiguity more, but now he's more into presenting as the ultimate foe in a more benign way. Like Max Brass or some sort of top dog boxer.

Also the announcer.

Early bird, and early to go to bed. cannot stay up late to save his life. I mean he will to battle for many a kid playing under the covers

Very organized in routine and actual cleanliness. Loves his lists and itineraries and sorting cabinets. Yes, he is creative and never super-uptight, but he needs some semblance of routine.

While he tries to keep Crazy in check, he is still up for some mayhem every now and then and is totally game for dishing out beatdowns together whenever!

Very hush-hush about Master Core, hates its presence within him.

Still very guilty about not being able to prevent or do much during WOL. Subspace? Okay. That was a mess but he did what he could. With Galeem and Dharkon? He feels he should've been able to fight back and see the warning signs.

Very stern and distrusting towards Tabuu, Galeem and Dharkon. Not fond of them but is keeping them around to keep an eye on them.

Doesn't like to show weakness. He knows a lot of people rely on him and would rather die than see them feel helpless.

Great at cooking! Everything he makes is great, the smashers cannot get enough. Though a lot of the smashers can cook and do so for each other, on special occasions he will treat.

Needs more hobbies, a vacation and some therapy. please.

Crazy Hand:

A destroyer. Source of chaos. Chronically silly.

It's just... his nature. He has a lot of energy but he hasn't ever been able to make and retain something. He has, however, been able to break things down and mess them up. As mentioned above, once upon a time this was disheartening to him, but he was learned to work with it and take joy in it. That, and by being a part of Smash he has helped cultivate something beautiful in his own way. Very proud of himself!

Really plays up the supervillain sort of vibe, esp in comparison to his brother. He's like a scare actor. He tones everything down if he sees someone is actually scared.

Huge prankster

Night Owl. Keeps an eye out after dark, making sure curfews are met (for the kids mainly, gotta get their sleep) and that mischief is kept to a minimum. But he will also be a boogeyman of sorts and cause a bit of mischief, as he loves to spook those who decide to stay up late.

Gives more leeway. If you know Master Hand will say no, consider asking Crazy for what you want! He's like the cool uncle if Master Hand is more like a team dad. Gotta make up for brutality on the battlefield somehow!

Likes to collect quirky, kitschy stuff. Lots of weird collections. Rocks shaped like presidents. Beanie babies stitched together like the human centipede. WMDs. Garfield Fish Tank Owner.

Oh I bet he does keep fish also. He'd be good at it. Another thing where he can actually take care of something and not destroy it.

Don't trust him with gardening though. Or cooking.

Into horror and weirder stuff, but prefers campier stuff. Can't stomach super horrific and dramatic stuff or gory stuff.

Easily moved by movies.

If he's quiet. Assume something is wrong. He's either doing something in secrecy or really upset. Hopefully the former and he's just about to pull off some crazy prank.

Got over Subspace and WOL relatively easily compared to others but is worried about how they affected others, especially MH.

He was also still shaken up from being controlled by Dharkon

Dislikes Galeem and Tabuu, sees them as stuck-up pricks. Feels sympathy towards Dharkon as the guy is Chronically Miserable and he sees that it was acting out of misplaced rage and dispair. Doesn't make it right but CH knows what it's like to be full of the need to destroy and raise hell. This has lead to him being more forgiving and trying to befriend his former adversary

👀👀👀👀👀 *sees you reblog fnaf stuff* I KNOW WHAT YOU AREEEEE!!!!! Drayton would boast about being able to beat fnaf without getting jumpscared and then promptly play fnaf 1 and get jumpscared close to 6 AM, let out a very high pitched scream and then fall out of his desk chair~Drayton angst anon💛(who is also a fnaf enjoyer)

FELLOW FNAF FAN OMF CNDMCNDM

Oh definitely, even better I made headcanons abt the og Unova kids and how they'd play fnaf too hahaha

Anyways

Please the fact he'd be all "pfft fnaf? That game's easy."

"bet."

And instantly regrets it he does not like the way Foxy runs no he does not lmfaooo imagine him seeing Foxy run to the office the first time and he legit panics all "WHAT THE FUCK" trying to figure out what to do and ends up getting jumpscared lmfaooo he'd be all "that wasn't fair, I didn't know they could run like that"

"heh, and you said this game was easy"

"course it's easy, there's just a lotta clicking I gotta do, it's tiring"

"yeah, sure, whatever you say lmao"

But like, since I already made hcs abt the Unova kids and how they'd play fnaf might as well make concepts abt the BB E4 hahaha

Anyways, Amarys does not get scared bet, like maybe a sudden jolt if she gets caught off guard but usually when she gets jumpscared she'd just go "oh, I lost." I think she'd be the type to actually try the fangames, looking for a challenge, taking Crispin's words saying the fangames have scarier gameplay and animatronics

She still don't find it scary, she did love the challenge tho hahah

Out of all four of em, she's the closest to ever beat UCN too. And Drayton, being Drayton, was all "well, my sis beat ultimate custom night, so by extension I beat it too"

"hah, yeah right. Taking the credit of others now cause you won't admit it's a hard game?"

"it's not hard, it's just tiring keeping check on all the robots" he'd rather admit he still sleeps w a plushie than to admit to Crispin that he really did find the games a bit hard

Lacey played the VR games and SB, didn't know abt UCN, Crispin made her play UCN, she lost within five seconds lmfao

Bet she'd love fnaf world tho, like Bianca she'd love the cute models of the animatronics more than their actual models hahah I think she'd like the glamrock and toy animatronics bc like,, I think they're the cutest?? Idk, I think she'd like them more than anything else. She had nightmares abt Glitchtrap tho real, refused to go in dark places for an entire month and stopped playing VR bc of it hahaha

Crispin gives off the vibes he really had a fnaf phase and never grew outta it, he always tries to make pizza whenever he plays it or if he watches someone play it, y'know, for the immersion he says hahah but also bet he'd be the type to watch every fnaf theory video out there, especially by pkmn ver of MatPat; the type to think of his own theories, make fanart, bet he listened to the fan songs and still memorized some of them by heart. He's just like me fr—

It would be cute tho if Crispin got Amarys hooked w the lore hahah like him talking abt fnaf and telling her the story so far while she's playing, and ofc she's listening to ever word, even adding her own thoughts. They give off vibes that they'd actually try to decipher a lot of the codes and puzzles in the games, like really going above and beyond to figure out every hidden meaning hahah

I think Amarys would also read the books, Lacey's surprised there are actually books abt it, Drayton didn't bother reading them ofc, Crispin's attention span isn't made for it so he just relies on Amarys for more info abt the lore regarding the stuff within the books and connecting them to the mainline games

And bet when the movie was out Crispin got so fucking excited he invited the E4 and the Kitakami sibs to watch it with him, like he really made a lotta snacks and I know for a fact and it's canon in my heart he screamed when the song at the credits played I just know it hahaha

#omf this got me rambling cncmnd #anyways crispin is so me fr never grew outta it hahaha #it is fun tho even tho i couldn't play the more recent games hahah #anyways yknow w the fangames #id say amarys would like juniors and even the joy of creation #maybe even return to bloody nights for the spring bonnie and fredbear lore to add to their lil theories too hahah #crispin always hypes her up when she plays those games hahah #but also imagine her like getting a bit pissed losing a lot on the more challenging nights #crispin thinks its entertaining seeing the usually stoic amarys be so pissed over a game hahah #unova kids #pokemon hcs #an ask and an answer #drayton angst anon

"Still, the effort stands almost no chance of succeeding in this Congress."

This is where we are. Politicians moving pieces around as if there is a play to be made, while knowing they will lose.

And, given the vibe check in my feed, this is where a lot of voters are too. Somehow, it will be less of a dictatorship if Communications Breakdown McGenocide staggers his way back into office. Because Democrat = Harm Reduction. PERIOD. We MUST do the ONLY THING WE CAN DO even if we KNOW that won't fix it.

I don't want to stop you. Vote your conscience. But don't vote your terrified ignorance. Stop for two seconds. Stop venting your anxiety at leftists who are just as scared as you are but dealing with it differently. Sit there with your own thoughts in your own head and sort them out. November is a long way away, you have time to think. This can't possibly be the only thing you can do.

You're gonna wake up after the election. Someone will win, someone will lose, and the Supreme Court's decision will stand - even if the amendment process continues, it will take years, so that decision will stand. You should be scared and sad no matter who's in the big chair. You should not be rooting for Biden to go full Stalin and take it out on some Republicans - a Blue dictatorship is not a win for democracy, why do I even have to say this?

So you'll be scared and sad but your life will still be there. It is very likely that the inertia will keep you safe for quite some time. Maybe your whole life - although if you've got kids, you should die worried for them. You'll need to go to work to buy food and housing. You'll have prescriptions to fill and repairs to make. You'll hafta pick out some presents for a birthday or holiday. All of that will still be there to distract you from the situation - and it will be good and important and make you feel happy and safe. Sometimes. Sometimes, you will still feel okay.

You have to decide if that is enough for you - spending down the good times you have left until they are gone, and dealing with whatever consequences as they hit. But, I promise you, there are people out there who are already unsafe and know it. There will be more and more people, maybe including your kids, who won't stop saying, "This isn't okay," because it's not. It hasn't been for a long time, but it's getting really obvious now.

And sometimes people will do things trying to fix it that intrude on the things you do to feel okay. They'll block traffic, or damage property, or yell real loud, or hurt your feelings, or even do something that gets human beings injured or killed. If you were happy for the Hong Kong protests or the Arab Spring, or the Civil Rights Movement or whatever distant protest that didn't inconvenience you, personally, now you'll have to square that up with protests that do. This will be that "glorious revolution" you don't want - your friends, neighbours and family pushing back, even when it hurts.

Even when it hurts you, because your continued emotional and even physical safety is very small, and the danger is very large.

You gotta decide if you're going to sit there and cry about your injury, and extrapolate your pain only so far as other people who want to sit still and colour within the lines like good voters, or if you want to push back too. I have no idea what pushing back will look like for you in your situation. For me, my health is in the crapper -I fled, and I'm fighting to repair myself. It's looking like the most I can do is donate money and write words no one will read - but it's not nothing. And it's not shutting people down when they mention something is wrong and voting won't fix it - which is worse than nothing.

If Biden doesn't win, it's not going to be because I betrayed him. I'm a voice in a void, with no campaign funding or right to influence his decisions. He decided he didn't want my vote a long time ago, he told me and I listened. Moderate Democrats and the corporate interests that fund them are abandoning him. They do not see an impending collapse and do not care if Trump wins. It won't make much difference to them.

Rep. Jared Golden, a moderate Democrat from Maine, argued the outcome of the election was a foregone conclusion. “While I don’t plan to vote for him, Donald Trump is going to win,” Golden said in a Bangor Daily News op-ed. “And I’m OK with that.”

I'm not OK with it. I'm not OK either way. I'm trying to repair my body enough that I can protest without being a liability, but that may not happen. If all I can do is get out of the fucking way, then I will. But I will not lay down my broken body to protect a system that wants me dead - I don't care if that scares you.

You should be scared. It's not okay. Get up. What are you going to do?

#us politics #ap news #long post #dear moderates #there is no magic box to tick that will make this go away #you can only engage in ritualized behaviour until it puts you back to sleep #or...?

Oh my onions ,

This chapter was the first thing I saw when I opened my phone this morning and I immediately started reading cause when I tell u I have been waiting for it like crazy. I took a break and kept reading after my statistics class (master’s thesis kicking my ass thank u).

It was such a relief of the tension in the previous chapters, some honest moments between Carm and Tony and also the reality and craziness of their family and faks being around.

I am so curious to see how the DD and kids dynamic will unfold cause in season 3 I bawled my eyes out in the ice chips episode and I was so happy Sug is taking those baby steps towards redefining her relationship with her mom now that she herself is one. It would be nice to see some cathartic moments here too(obviously given the complexity of the relationships cause lord knows it’s fucked to the core).

HELL YOU ARE MAKING ME MISS CHRISTMAS NOW I KINDA WISH WE HAD LIKE A WEEK TILL CHRISTMAS IRL CAUSE I HATE THE SUMMER.

cuteness baby Michaela and Tony (hohoho make her and Carmy babysit pls pls)

RICHIE THE MAN THAT U ARE. he totally is an old fashioned in my brain so I get the whiskey and peaches thought Tony u are right.

Also …. Sydney baby I can sense the tension…. I see u getting off the floor … I SEE U NOT SAYING IT BACK SO ….

Also side note I always listen to music while reading this to set the cinematic vibe yk yk and today I happened to listen to father John Misty’s “I love u honey bear” and “everything is free” and COINCIDENTALLY they match the vibe quite perfectly make sure to check them out if that’s your vibe, I feel the lyrics to these 2 songs were kinda fitting to this chapter (are they my personal soundtrack that played in this episode ?! Yes they are !)

Can’t wait for next one u never fail! Can’t wait for the Christmas special if u will. ALSO 14 K I know u said for both our sanities it’s getting shorter but I’m so glad I saw a double digit no pressure my love Heheheheheh !!!! I gotta stop yapping stay safe till next one :)))))

AHHH I hope the next one isn't shit, we're dropping in like idk whenever I finish answering these last couple asks that i've let sit in my inbox for DECADES (a couple weeks). If I failed this time, no one tell me. Let's all let onion live in ignorance okay. a handful of times i was like "what if I simply restarted" at like 8k in.

But I've finished my final draft edits and I think it's fine. I think it's a very necessary chapter. It's like how I felt about Doing Too Much back in the day, but now that one's like, one of my faves in terms of how much it actually establishes--- ANYWAYS WHAT THE FUCK AM I TALKING ABOUT let's talk about your talkings

I hope your thesis went/is going well!! It's been so fucking long where is everyone on their life projects. Me personally I'm applying to OTHER FUCKING JOBS. Who wants to pay me to write CK full time? I'm so fr.

Chapter 14 will always be that girl when it comes to tension breaking. Like christ. Two Steps Back is my favourite chapter to reread because I love Mikey and Chip and I also think I am the most in my bag when I'm writing sad shit but Chapter 14 is always nice when I'm havin a ROUGH DAYY

I hope. When I do eventually cover DD. Which is tragically for me, quite soon, that I do it fucking any justice. I'm very thankful for the compliments comparing me to canon but MAN if anything is a test of my ability to understand these characters, Donna is my final fucking exam. I am so bad. At writing moms. Just in general. Ice Chips was truly like my favourite episode of the season too, so I hope I can do all the fucking insane dynamics of adulthood blended with motherhood justice. I can barely do them justice in my own life, YKNOW??? man.

Me and my roommates take christmas so fucking seriously. As we have for the past... 3 years. And now that this is our first christmas living together again, I truly start gift planning now. did someone say psychotic? NO. i just PUT THE DATES OF EVERY SALE OF EVERY IMPORTANT RELEVANT RETAILER IN MY PERSONAL CALENDAR. I'M NORMAL. FUCK YOU I'M NORMAL!! what i'm trying to say is, it's christmas whenever you decide it's christmas.

Ohhhh Michaela Blurb. Someone request it someone request it. I so hope in S4 they let that man be a good Uncle. I know he avoids family like the plague but come on man. its a BABY!!!!!

I hope everyone loves the drink menu I have planned, or I mean--- Sorry, the drink menu chip has planned. Jerimovich you whiskey peach bitch da MAN YOU ARE!!!

It's s o hard to not write like a little bit of tension with Syd. Like I can't not. It's so in my brain I cannot get squidink out of there someone call the police dont actually

i love. when an indie bitch enters my domain. i love father john misty!! I can so see those songs. There's a lot of songs I adored for this chapter. I think my most probably unagreed with would be I Like It, by DeBarge--- Listen, I know it's so cheery-- But that's exactly it. That is so Song That's Playing At The Wedding Outside The Bathroom While We Full Breakdown In Here. HEAR ME OUT OKAY

We are,,, at 15k for this chap. Chap 14 was 14k,,,, I feel like Chap 16 is not going to be 16k (but rather, horrifically, more), but it'd be cute to continue the pattern. I'll attempt to reduce myself.

Also:

I WISH THEY MADE A CHICAGO JOKE IN CANON, esp with Carmen's drive by about Musicals in ep2? Come on man. Chicago's (the city) like. top 3 of american cities for theatre. what the fuck. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL ARTS???

i love chicago (the musical) (maybe also the city idk), so I had to give a little credit. And frankly, while writing that bit, I watched the moment back--- He did KIND OF RUN INTO IT, LIKE I HONESTLY THINK THAT WAS KIND OF AN ACCIDENT

anyways i'm gonna shut the fuck up now chapter out soon love you bye gotta answer more asks!!

#yapping #ask #espressoomartinii #don't say it

Fuck it ok black sugar swan thoughts for my au thing

So little context beforehand: sugar swan is millennial trees wife (and this considers wind archer her kid though idk at the moment if she was involved in his creation, it’s a solid maybe atm) and is sort of like in contrast to Millie being a being of all magic Swan is a bringer of life, herald of the seasons, life, blooms, all that’s needed for something to grow.

Currently the dessert paradise guardian test whatever event story wise goes as it does in the game, if I do tweak anything it’s just the sugar swan lore and maybe a comment about how the bird of paradise cookies aren’t the same as the Aether Heart’s guardian harpy. Or other harpy cookies idk.

Anyways

Plot wise- currently I don’t think I’m changing much for the black sugar swan event. Other than maybe wind archers involvement. My au does go kingdom first lore wise so if this happens while he’s in beast yeast he’s not going to be able to help. Idk who would take his place if that’s the case, just someone who can also sense the vibes are off and is trusted to help like the cookiemals trust wind archer. Idk if you made me choose right now I’d uhhh either say maybe a Aether heart harpy because I can see those birds knowing the wind god, they get around, or maybe a super epic Proto elemental equivalent for wind archer (like sherbet to frost queen or stardust to moonlight) but unless the game releases one later I’d have to make an oc most likely and I do not got the worms for that.

Anyways onto black sugar swan. What is she in this context?

She’s the other side of the coin to sugar swan.

Yes she’s going to guard the dessert paradise while sugar swan is away, but if sugar swan is a bringer of life, black sugar swan is a bringer/herald of death.

Here’s what I’m thinking. Black sugar duck kinda did an ascension when she stole the eternal sweetness, and even when giving up its power ans returning it you can’t just un ascend. So this is a thing I’m tweaking from the plot. I’m adding a few days for black sugar duck to recover, and in that time sugar swan sorta has her somewhat indisposed since the duck was asking for penance but sugar swan is a merciful queen and went “for your penance you gotta stay in bed and heal” whipped cream still visits because that’s his bestie (who he may or may not kiss idk I’m incredibly neutral on that ship)

Anyways it’s during that time that sugar swan both keeps an eye on things to make sure the balance isn’t all out of wack, and think on black sugar duck’s words. Even if she has a duty, she is leaving the paradise on its own for a lot of the year. She was able to return now but had she never found out things could have gone really bad.

It needs a more permanent guardian.

So uh few days later here’s what she returns with to offer. For Black sugar duck to become a new guardian of the dessert paradise. She’s already got the magic in her form to become a legendary proper, with a little nudging from sugar swan’s own magic black sugar duck gains access to her black swan form again and whoop Boop sugar swan has her official counterpart.

Also she kinda just goes ‘you’re my sister now’ and everyone just has to deal with it lmAO.

I do think she hangs around a bit longer, mostly for millie to show uo and also make sure balance is okay and all that. There’s already a beast situation we don’t need his wife to get hurt too. But he hears about what’s going on, checks on black sugar swan (who’s maybe still a bit of a diva but is less egotistical about it? Whipped cream is helping) and after giving a slight warning not to do that again, is more than happy to accept the new guardian of balance.

He probably gives her like the lore lecture tm and black sugar swan is like “oh fuck what did I sign up for” but it’s fiiiiiiiiine

Uhhh anyways so yeah black sugar swan is the destruction/decay to sugar swans creation/life. Though she can still make those black roses, her magic is more offensive where sugar swan’s is support.

Uh honorable mention to the idea of whipped cream dating black sugar swan, I’m unsure if that’s a thing but on paper it’s really funny to me because I do canonically have whipped cream as dark choco’s ex. (Whipped cream might be someone who’s got a semi immortality thing going on? Idk being blessed by the sugar swan might just give you a super long lifespan idk) and I just think the idea that his type are edgelords is so good. Good for him

#it me #cookie run #cookie run kingdom #cookie run au #whipped cream cookie #sugar swan cookie #black sugar swan cookie #headcanon

How about two ships for that bingo game?

Akari x Giyuu? And then Mitsuri x Obanai? ^_^

The way you added Giyukari there 🩷🩷🙏🏻

Ofc I gotta check off everything positive about them, but Giyuu and Akari are more dorks than sexy tbh (love them for that though)

Akari is always meant to be her own character (and she still is) I created her back in 2019, and at that time, she didn't even have a love interest. It's only when it was canonically stated that Giyuu has a descendant, that I find myself fixating really hard at the possibility that Giyuu married someone and had kids, and then I remembered that I have a kny oc, and that's pretty much how I came up with the idea of intertwining Akari and Giyuu's story together. 🩷

Also maybe there's a part of me that wished Giyuu in canon had a "special someone" it's doesn't necessarily have to be romantic in a sense, but I just remember thinking how the Butterfly sisters, Shinazugawa bros and Obamitsu have eachother, Tengen has his wives, and Giyuu has Sabito and Tanjiro... except Sabito is long gone before the series even started and I always felt like there's more emphasis on Tanjiro and Rengoku's bond tbh.

I guess I just felt like Giyuu in canon has a sense of loneliness to him even after befriending people (maybe this is why he is so shippable-) BUT YEAH, it's why I wanted Akari to be Giyuu's friend. They can be each other's "special someone" :D Friends to Lovers dynamic!

As for Obamitsu well

Ok so I'll admit that Obamitsu isn't actually my fav pairing (it's pretty shallow really, I just don't find Obanai that hot enough fjsjsjsjsk) but still, I very much appreciate them, and they are fun to draw! I really like how they compliment each other. The idea of two people who find themselves to be unlovable and finding that love with each other, only except it's a little too late... I actually stumbled upon your post about obamitsu being a failed romance before, and I agree so much, thinking about the tragic aspect of their romance makes me sad :(

Overall I think their relationship is pretty well written. I know some might say that they lacked screentime, which is fair, but for me, it's the fact that even in such a short time, the story was able to show us why they mattered to eachother. Especially when I compare it to other shows where the main couple had tons of screentime and yet their chemistry is still lacking. I guess sometimes its still about quality over quantity kind of thing.

Also I don't think Mitsuri falling for Obanai negates her own character, it's more like they both complete each other's arcs. I feel that with obamitsu, you can appreciate them as a pair but you can also appreciate them as separate characters too!

Also they lowkey give me botw zelink vibes so its hard for me not to appreciate them. 🩷

#ask game #spoilers #demon slayer #my post #me speaks #obamitsu #mitsuri #obanai #giyuu #honestly If only I have the hots for obanai I would have gone crazy for obamitsu loooong ago #but I do appreciate his cool design :D

So I’m still trying to work on their backstories, but I think I got the main important bits that I can build off of later

Sorry that these aren’t as even as I’d like, but Asterios’s backstory came much easier than Leander’s. I still gotta come up with his home life & such, but for the most part, I like where he’s at!

Our big lovable himbo, Leander. About as tall as Eurylochus, but even beefier. He’s got the personality of an orange cat: dumb, crazy & happy. BRT you thought I was gonna say golden retriever, huh? But yeah, he’s also a golden retriever jcvskahd

He’s got strong Laios vibes, just sayin’

Would’ve absolutely eaten the lotus, are you kidding me? Even if he knew. Just a nibble! Just to see what it tastes like…

He’s honestly a jack of all trades & dabbles in a bit of everything, but he excels at sword fighting & spear throwing

Sees training as a type of game & goes all out on his opponents, then doesn’t understand why no one wants to spar

A disciple of Apollo, he really appreciates the arts & has a really nice, deep singing voice, but he’s surprisingly shy when it comes to singing in front of others

Loves the sun & likes to lay on the deck enjoying its warmth. He’s kind of a slacker tbh but he makes up for it when he does help because he’s so strong

So he falls in love with one of the nymphs on Circe’s island, & in the original show he ends up staying to be with her. But for my fic, he stays with the crew to go back home & is so lovesick, he gets on everyone’s nerves

But in the original version, he’s one of the few (maybe only?) crew that actually lives because of his choice to stay

They fall in love after he turns human again & jokingly says “man, I’ll miss being a pig. Well, it was fun while it lasted, right guys?” & everyone’s yelling at him & giving him shit for it & this one nymph thinks that’s just so funny

He doesn’t even know how funny he is, he just be sayin’ shit. & it’s one of the things that made her fall for him

Their love came on quick & strong. Think summer romance, opening of Grease, that kinda stuff. They’re so lovey dovey, & it’s all genuine!

Just a big ol’ teddy bear. A ticklish softie. You wouldn’t expect him to be so ticklish because of how big & strong he is, but just a few pokes can make him crumble

Has a very fun & goofy personality & never fails to make people laugh! Even if he has to tickle it outta them lol

Sometimes when his hair is up, his ponytail will brush his neck & he’ll giggle & whip his head around expecting someone to be there, but nope. He realizes what happened & looks around to make sure no one saw & if they did he gets all flustered & makes up some excuse to leave

You better hope he’s not in a playful mood if you go after him because he will turn it into a tickle fight, & he’s pretty competitive lol

He’ll help out if someone is trying to get someone else by catching them & holding them down. Likewise, if you want to wreck him, you better have someone to hold him down

He’s such a silly ler, & raspberries are one of his favorite tactics but the dude cannot take what he dishes out

His worst spots are his armpits, belly, thighs & feet, but he’ll be a giggling mess no matter where you try

So his backstory popped tf off ok it got away from me

He’s the son of Eris, goddess of discord & strife, hence the ear wings (a lot of her children had wing imagery & he can hide them by folding them & tucking them under the hair behind his ears)

He was unplanned & Eris cast him down to earth because she at least knew she’d be a bad mother for a half mortal. She may not want anything to do with him, but she does want to check up & see how he’s doing

His adopted parents found him washed on the shore of a riverbed, in a broken basket. He was there long enough that he’d fallen asleep, but he was still clutching a gold chain necklace in his tiny fist (his real mother’s necklace, & the only clue he had to go off of)

He was a terrible troublemaker growing up, & his parents had to actively teach him to be kind & thoughtful because of how he’d treat others & instigate fights. But his mischief leveled out to normal levels, & he was actually a pretty decent child all things considered

But just being around him can change your mood, where you’re more annoyed & prone to start fights, but he’s learned to control this

Grew up not knowing he was adopted, just knowing & feeling he was extremely different. He had few friends growing up, because his general aura is off putting & intimidating. So he just grew up thinking he was somehow wrong, & everyone hated him

His parents tried to tell him multiple times, but couldn’t bring themselves to confess. Especially his mom, as if telling him he’s adopted would somehow make him less hers, & make him feel isolated more than he already was. They also didn’t want to tell him until they knew who’s child he was, but they had no clue

They found out close to his 13th birthday, after finding a mural of Eris wearing the necklace that he showed up with

He didn’t take the news well & basically blamed himself for every misfortune their family faced. & then the spiraling of why didn’t his mom want him? Is it just because he’s human or was it something else? Do these parents even want him, or was he just a burden thrust into their arms? they adore him, but they know no matter what they do, he will always have that doubt in the back of his mind

Eris finally showed herself when he was 16, crying in her temple & cursing her name for forcing him to live like this. It went about as you’d expect (skirting all the blame, playing the victim, & saying how much better he is without her & how he should instead thank her for the way things turned out)

Eris at least had the decency to warn him about the upcoming war, & even proudly took responsibility. Basically just called up her estranged son to bitch & spill some tea & then peaced tf out. So after that he felt like he had no choice but to join the war

He feels incredibly guilty about the war because of what he knows. Like it’s his fault somehow. Once he gets close enough to Leander, I feel like he’d confess these emotions on a sleepless night

His feelings of being an outcast only grow once they’re shipped off to war, because at first he doesn’t feel like he can relate to anyone. Or that anyone even wants him around, he can feel people staring. But then this big dumb jock comes bumbling over, introducing himself & asking if he’s “excited to see the world!” & Asterios has to laugh because no way is this guy serious. But he was, & they’ve been best friends ever since. Every moody bitch gotta have a ray of sunshine bff!

They’re actually roommates lmao. But a few other guys also share the room

He channels all his rage into his training & fighting, so he’s really skilled at what he does. & he inherited divine strength, so even tho he may not look it, he could totally beat everyone in an arm wrestling match

This sad boy needs to lighten tf uuuup he’s always sulking or brooding

Either Leander or Polites were trying to cheer him up, & when nothing else worked they gave a curious squeeze to his sides & he kiiiinda freaked out (he kinda knew he was ticklish, but he’d completely forgotten because it’s been so long & it’s basically like getting tickled for the first time

Afterwards he lowkey can’t stop thinking about it because he’s never had the chance to cut loose & play with someone his own age like that. & it felt stupid & silly, but he can’t ignore the fact that it actually did make him feel better he refuses to admit it tho

HE’S GOT DIMPLES!!! You can’t tell in the pic cause of his stubble, but trust me, they’re there. But the crew didn’t even know for the longest time because he rarely ever smiles wide enough for them to show up

Tries to act like it’s childish & beneath him, meanwhile he’s internally trying to keep his cool so he can fly under the radar in it’s happening near him

If a tickle fight breaks out, he’s suddenly nowhere to be found. The whole thing flusters him, & the idea of him getting drug in is too exciting & scary to think about. Until someone eventually drags his ass into the fray

He inherited some of his mother’s powers & he will absolutely use them to his advantage when he sees fit. His powers are: super strength, super speed, telekineses, umbrakineses (shadow manipulation), & chaos/discord manipulation (control emotions & situations to instigate fights)

He managed to get a better grip on his powers & people aren’t constantly on edge around him, but when things on the ship get boring, he’ll spice things up with a little bit of his chaos manipulation. But he basically gives a random crew member a ler mood, & directs them toward a specific target

He got away with it for a while

His ear wings are his worst spot & he hates it so much, he’s already extremely self conscious & embarrassed of them, so the fact that they’re so sensitive feels like a cruel twist of fate. Everyone else absolutely loves that fact

His other worst spots are his knees, ribs, shoulders, & hips. Lanky boy has gotta be ticklish in all the boney places, it’s the law

Love Note #2 goes out to @mochie85 💖

There's just so many good things I can say about Mochie and we can start with how she wrote some of the hottest smuts that live in my head rent free (Pheromones?? The Chase?? Better Version?? ohh lordy me 🥵). Sometimes those stories cross my mind at the most random moments of the day and I just gotta stare at the ceiling or the nearest stationary object to kind of reset my brain 🥴 And she also created the fluffy series that had me feeling all sorts of feels, Creature Comforts eeeeeee 🫠💖

And I am forever grateful for having been able to do our collab series 'man of the month' that started out as just a message going "I kinda have an unhinged idea…Avengers calendar" and then I sent her this photo that kinda just sent us into space for a good few minutes:

One of the things I cannot be thankful for enough was her vibe checks throughout my first toe dips into the world of smut because…when I tell you I was nervous as all heckers, I kid you not every time I wrote like 100 words I had to stop myself from going "Okay I need another check" until I finished at least half of what I was planning 🥴 And it was through her support that some of those first smuts from RTC ever came to be 🥹💖

She's such a multitalented & amazing person, whether it be her writing, or her moodboards, or her art…It's been such an honor to be able to say that I've known someone like her in my life and I really gotta go and binge more of her recent works.

@muddyorbsblr this is beautiful. Thank you so much for sending this Love Note for @mochie85 she is truly a treasure and a pillar of my own personal experience here. One of the friendliest and most helpful and giving people I've ever known, as well as one of the most talented👑You slay, Mochs.

ELLIEEEE.

i read ch 3 of ihm and wanted to share my thoughts and praises of how freaking amazing your work is!!!!

"I would rather make love to one of those inflatable balloon salesmen at car dealerships that flail and flap around in the wind than let you touch me for the purpose of sex."

girl, the way i straight up CACKLED. how are you so freaking good at banter? like my queen, what is your secret, i could kiss your brain. the moment i started the chapter and read this i already knew it was gonna be another BANGER.

"I don’t really go after women with daddy issues."

💀 💀 💀 bruh. the way gojo is just casually throwing shade while watching CNN. i am loooooving this ihm gojo so fking much.

“Oh, thank god,” he exhales in relief, “I almost thought it was an avocado for a second.”

this whole little argument was so fun and sillly GAH i just loved it so much. the way you describe y/n when she gets mad is just ✨GOLD✨ like idk how to describe it, i just love how you manage to make her have such a spark. she's got a backbone and a heart. sometimes i manage to fall for your y/n more than your gojo 🤭 hehe

“The dog had rabies. It bit an old man. Had to put it down,” he deadpans.

OH MY GOD 💀 this fking scene with choso. girl, this whole story gives me such romcom vibes, like damn you deliver, yet another line that made me cackle.

“Your capacity for catastrophization never fails to amaze me,” he says. You’re pretty sure your therapist said something similar to you last week, too.

i felt personally attacked here 😭 fking choso lol.

Also, why the fuck didn’t he get you chocolates from London?!?!?! The fucking snake.

RIGHT?!?!?! WTF GOJO???? oh my god this was hilarious though, y/n being caught in her lie 🤭 girls gotta get her stories straaaaight. to be fair though, makes sense why she didn't realize gojo was out of town considering how much she's got on her plate rn.

So who really got the last laugh? Day shift workers. Literally.

this is so sad 😞 this aint fair. like why do the people that are working their asses off at ungodly hours to save and help people get the shit end of the stick? wow, much love and respect to health care workers. i can only imagine how hard it must be, in more ways than one.

(who the fuck drinks juice from a coffee mug)

the same kind of sick fucker that would probably eat string cheese whole 😡 nah, this is a crime.

So you just relish in the ridiculous feeling of being on all fours in your vintage grandma nightgown in front of your shirtless and, breaking news: very hot, fake husband.

again, ROMCOM vibes. this is so hilarious 🤭 like y/n, my girl, i would be right there with you checking him out 👀 the way you described gojo shirtless.... 🥵😩🤚🏻

“Why the fuck would I call someone for a job I could do myself?”

oh. my. god. this fucking hit HOME for me LOL. my own dad literally has like 10+ ongoing unfinished projects bc he refuses to pay someone to do it professionally. it's like a pride thing, but daaaaamn my mom be mad when theres like, an open hole in the roof for weeks. ihm is giving such DILF vibes and i am absolutely HERE FOR IT.

and lastly

JUNO.

need i say more??? she is so PURE and i must protect her at all costs 😩 UGHHHH i was so misty eyed when she was crying about being bullied. and the way you wrote y/n comforting her and interacting with her 😩😩😩🤚🏻🤚🏻🤚🏻 eeeeeep, i hope we get to see gojo and juno interact in the future bc anything with men and kids is literally my kryptonite. the few little tidbits with him wearing the slippers and having my little pony on the tv already made me smile so big 🤭🥰

okaaaay, literally i love your work so much, and i feel like i never say it enough so i really want you to understand just how fking incredible you are. like seriously, i love the entire tone of ihm. like you said, the writing style is so laid back, but that adds even more to the appeal, and when the serious moments hit you shift the tone so effortlessly that DAMN those moments hit even more.

i can already see just how much you can accomplish with this series and i'm really looking forward to seeing your vision come to fruition. you are incredible, ellie ❤️ thanks for sharing such an amazing story with us.

-aly💕

HIIII aly omg thanks so much for this review of ch3 ihm!! it means sm to meee :'') i'm cracking up so hard reading this BAHHAH

pls reader really came to cut a knife w that comeback i think even ihm gojo was like damn woman chill 😂😂 as for the banter i have conversations w myself like i am crazy ❤️❤️ helps w dialogue LOL

omg thanks you for enjoying ihm reader <3 i have worries ab her being a little much but honestly i'd ride n die for her she's going thru a lot bahaha. but i'm so happy you see that spark!! and yes i try to picture romcom & kdrama vibes when i write ihm xD just like kinda cringe and absurd at times but also surprisingly heartfelt? hahah

ahhh yea sm respect for night shift workers, esp those in healthcare. it's a suuuuper rough lifestyle and there's a lot of research that shows how detrimental it is to the body in the long term, and there are ppl who work the nightshift for like 20+ years. it's crazy

PLEASE MY DAD IS THE SAME HE ALWAYS WANNA BE FIXING THINGS AROUND THE HOUSE LIKE DAD IT'S BEEN SIX MONTHS I'M TIRED OF WASHING MY DISHES BY HAND PLS JUST CALL SOMEONE 😭😭😭 no but yea that scene was funny to write bc it was giving dilf vibes but also he's so unconvincing of his abilities to fix things xD idc tho as long as i get to see his abs while he's on his back working on sumn under the sink 👍🏼👍🏼

eeeeeep, i hope we get to see gojo and juno interact in the future bc anything with men and kids is literally my kryptonite. the few little tidbits with him wearing the slippers and having my little pony on the tv already made me smile so big 🤭🥰

AW thanks sm for liking juno <3 i've never written a kid character before and also i haven't been around children in so long so i was like watching youtube videos of children trying foreign country foods to see what tf they sound like xD anyways yesss omg i love men w kids. like sir pls lemme give u babies :// imeanwhatwhosaidthat

like you said, the writing style is so laid back, but that adds even more to the appeal, and when the serious moments hit you shift the tone so effortlessly that DAMN those moments hit even more.

AHHH thanks sm i could cry srs this is such a sweet thing to say :'') yea that tonal shfit stuff is tuff but to hear it's coming off is so relieving thanks so much aly <33 and for all your words too 😭😭 i hope you have a wonderful saturday!!!

much loveee ❤️❤️

Window Across the Galaxy ✧*:･ﾟ updated 11/30

18+ only | rocket x oc | 20/27 Chapters | WIP | Word Count: pending. ♡ check the masterlist for expected updates ♡

girl falls first; racoon falls harder.

He glares. “Use a fuckin’ medpack tomorrow,” he orders. “Use two.” He can feel the fur and skin on his nose wrinkle as he snarls. “And I’m guessin’ I gotta tell you to use one on your frickin’ ribs, too.” “But - “ He’s hot and furious right down to the blazing tips of his ears, tailed puffed with a wrath he’s too tired to hide. For fuck’s sake. For fuck’s sake. All he wants is for Pete to bring Groot down so Rocket can tuck the kid in, and then he can climb into bed with Jo the way he had last night, face pressed between her shoulder blades or breasts or thighs. Curled up around her in whichever way she’ll let him. Instead, he has to deal with this shit. Resolved if you fuck her boneless before every battle and mission, he thinks to himself, and struggles to stifle the images before they can become more of a problem. “–it’s not a big deal. I’m healing already–” But she’s still fuckin’ fighting him. About a frickin’ medpack, of all the stupid shit.

[NEW 11/30] ✧･ﾟ:*Chapter XX. Some Nerve. in which an ultimatum is given.

our last chapter before the smut. lots of explicit fantasizing/internal dialogue type of stuff. (｡ꏿ﹏ꏿ) i think i'm pretty happy with it? not anxious at all ~ ♡

General summary/notes + links to recently preceding chapters behind the cut.

let me know via comment, message, or ask if you'd like to be added or removed from my fanfic taglist ♡

Rocket is captured by a Ravager crew hoping to get rich off the excessively large bounty on his head. Throwing a wrench in everyone’s plans is the Terran girl they hired to do some freelance assessing on a recent haul of goods they’ve seized from a Xandaran luxury liner. Oops.

slight AU starting pre-GOTG volume 1 (but will hit most of the same major plot points). slow burn + eventual smut with a lot of pining in the middle. kinda enemies-to-lovers? (but only one of these idiots thinks they're enemies). let me be real with you: this fic is really about wish-fulfillment. not just the eventual smut (but that too). mostly i just want someone to be nice to my best boy raccoon

*･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ:*✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ*

Chapter I. A Delicacy. in which our reluctant heroes meet atop a crate of Sovereign porn in the bowels of a Ravager ship.

Chapter II. Monster For A Pet. in which one hero wrestles with his inner Groot, and the other is quite possibly a moron.

Chapter III. A Kindness. in which Rocket gets in his own damn way: not for the first time, and certainly not for the last.

Chapter IV. Got There First. in which our heroes obtain an arsenal and street food.

Chapter V. Things No-One Has Said Before. in which one hero refuses to babysit and the other refuses to leave.

Chapter VI. Two and a Half Billion Units.in which we lean into the “they were roommates” trope. Jolie has misgivings, while Rocket has fantasies - about getting rich, of course.

Chapter VII. I'm Here. in which we visit Knowhere.

Chapter VIII. The Care & Feeding of Human Pets. in which our heroes practice breathing and we lean into a new trope: “there was (technically) one bed.”

Chapter IX. Scrapmetal and a Dream. in which we redefine homemaking.

Chapter X. Thin Fucking Ice. in which our heroes get fucked. Not in the good way.

Chapter XI. Let It Be. in which Xandar is saved and good lives are lost.

Chapter XII. So Much It Hurts. in which we try not to fuck up the vibes.

Chapter XIII. Don’t Wait. in which a lost sister is found and Drax grapples with the concept of sarcasm.

Chapter XIV. Exactly Like a Flower. in which comfort is shared.

Chapter XV: Galaxy-Breaking Shit. in which more comfort is shared, and life is good. Briefly.

Chapter XVI. Run. in which Rocket falls victim to his superstitions.

Chapter XVII. A Seedling. A Fox. A Little Girl. in which the party is divided.

Chapter XVIII. I Happen to Know a Guy. in which our heroes get fucked. Again. Still not in the good way.

Chapter XIX. He Was Loved. in which a planet is killed, a friend is made and lost, and nobody still has any frickin’ tape.

Chapter XX. Some Nerve. * in which an ultimatum is given.

Chapter XXI. I Very Still. ❤︎❤︎ in which our heroes get fucked. In the good way, this time. Finally.

Chapter XXII. Got There Worse. ❤︎❤︎ in which Rocket does not say "I love you."

Chapter XXIII. We're Gonna Need a Bigger Table. * in which Rocket ~ discreetly ~ claims the title of boyfriend.

Chapter XXIV. Space Would Be Better. ❤︎

Chapter XXV. Little Love Stories. *

Chapter XXVI. Other Side of the Window. ❤︎

Chapter XXV. The Most Beautiful Thing in My House. ❤︎❤︎

Epilogue: Interviewing Rocket & Jo. ten years after Window ends. short/drabbly, silly fluff.

explicit lines or references* abbreviated explicit sequences ❤︎ detailed/prolonged explicit sequences ❤︎❤︎
