Kid Leo Au: Finding Home Arc

Part 17/17

They're talking about Jupiter Jim!!!! Also gonna draw a comic based specifcially on this moment that is TECHNICALLY gonna be a part of that future futrue au or whatever but IT'S RELEVANT TO THIS OKAY

ANYWAY-

That's the end of the Finding Home arc!! He certainly did find home. I really loved drawing this au, and it was really good practice for drawing Junior!!!! I hadn't drawn him a lot before this just because I never had a reason too ya know? He didn't have a huge part in the original fic due to me not being confident in my ability to write him., but I think this is a good start!!

Kid Leo is mostly based off of me as a kid (pov this comic is me healing my inner child ) , but CJ is more how I tend to act now - I like to be super direct with kids and try to get on their level when we're having serious discussions and that kinda thing.

I also wanted Leo to be able to have a FRIEND in this time- like he technically has his family, right, but he def needed to talk with someone that is a ltitle removed from the situation ( that being said, CJ is absolutely a part of their family because I SAID SO)

SO! Next arc will probably be started in maybe a week and a half I'm moving back in with my parents this week though, so updates may not be every day like they have been for past arcs :(

Velveteen vs The Masterpost

When I was in high school, I stumbled across Seanan McGuire’s series of “Velveteen vs.” stories, staring Velma “Velveteen” Martinez, a former child superhero with the power to animate toys, who stumbles from one misadventure to the next. Taking place in a world where superheroics is run almost entirely by a single corporation and child heroes are put through some of the worst abuses of child stars, the series features fun characters, worldbuilding, and relationships, and of course, cool fight scenes. In true comics fashion, it ends on a rather open-ended note and, as far as I can tell, she hasn’t written any stories since 2017, but most of the main arcs are tied up and I definitely recommend you check them out!

(I became obsessed with these stories after finding them. An example of me getting into comics before I actually got into comics.)

Restless Rewatch: The Untamed, Episode 37 part two

(Masterpost) (Pinboard)  (whole thing on AO3)

Warning! Spoilers for All 50 Episodes!

Inquiring Minds

Wei Wuxian asks the kids if any of them can perform inquiry so he can ask Song Lan who fucked him up like this. Sizhui does a good job, but he has to whisper to himself while he plays, because he is not a mensch like Lan Wangji (yet).

Song Lan says that Xiao Xingchen is the culprit, and the kids immediately ignore apparently-murderer Xiao Xingchen who's sitting next to them, and instead have a seminar on how inquiry works and the niceties of guqin-language translation. 

During the whole conversation, they talk about Song Lan being killed, not just mostly-killed, incidentally. And that's not a translation error; I'm actually able to recognize the phrase "shale ta." (My small collection of Chinese-words-I-can-recognize-when-I-hear-them is entirely Wuxia-based, including useful words and phrases like wo shale ni (I'm going to kill you), dianxia (prince/lord), and dalisi (the court of judicial review).

They all continue to ignore Xiao Xingchen while Sizhui asks Wei Wuxian's third question, which is "who controls you." Song Lan's answer this time is "that dude behind you." That dude, who we are perhaps beginning to suspect is not really Xiao Xingchen, smirks and snaps his fingers.

Song Lan responds by breaking out of the rope and summoning his sword and fuchen (horsetail whisk) to his hands.  

He brings his sword to Wei Wuxian's neck and Wei Wuxian tells the kids to back off, saying that all of them put together are not a match for Song Lan. Which is true, judging by the juniors' sword moves, which consist entirely of standing still and pointing.

Not-Xiao-Xingchen says that the adults are going to talk so the kids should go outside. Wei Wuxian tells the juniors to scram, and reminds them not to breathe in a lot of poison while they're out there. Gee, thanks, Laoshi. 

(More behind the cut!)

Sizhui lingers, and Wei Wuxian tells him he's the most sensible and that he should take charge of the others. He tells Sizhui not to be afraid, and Sizhui says he isn't. 

He also says that Mo-qianbei and Hanguang-Jun are alike. Wei Wuxian denies this, saying they're opposites. Almost like yin and yang, in fact, needing each other to create a balance. 

Sizhui thinks in a voiceover that he doesn't know why, but he thinks they're alike; that if either one of them is there, he doesn't need to be afraid. They are mostly not alike, I think, but they are both devoted parents to Sizhui, so he's right about that. 

His recognition of Wei Wuxian is growing, and I like that he's able to ponder this stuff in the midst of all these life threatening situations. It's actually fairly accurate to life as a teenager, in which the big work of figuring yourself out is always going on in your head, no matter the circumstances.

Dear Slim, I wrote you

Once the kids are gone, both of the adults can drop their aliases, and speak demonic-cultivator to demonic-cultivator. 

They stand around while not-Xiao-Xingchen, who is obviously Xue Yang, delivers a heap of exposition about making zombies and his new Yin Tiger Seal and...*yawn.* 

Anyway, he lured Wei Wuxian here so he could resurrect someone for him. Wei Wuxian says nope, listening briefly to the spirit-trapping bag that Xue Yang hands him and saying that this person is super duper dead, and wants to stay that way. 

Xue Yang insists, reminding Wei Wuxian that the kids are hostages.

During this whole conversation, Song Jiyang, who plays Xiao Xingchen, does a great job playing Xue Yang - possibly helped along by using the same voice actor for overdubbing? - including by embodying many of Xue Yang's annoying mannerisms. 

On my first watching, I found Xue Yang very very annoying, right up until the point that the show flips the script and manages to make him sympathetic and tragic, which is quite a trick, considering that he's a psycho and also a dick. On subsequent viewings I still find him annoying but I like his fighting style a lot, and what he brings to the story generally.

When Xue Yang starts cackling, Wei Wuxian greets him by name and tells him he should stop pretending to be someone he isn't. Xue Yang responds by taking off his eye cover and then by taking off his face, which is a mask that's way more convincing than poor Mo Xuanyu's craft-store paper-mache thingy. 

Xue Yang picked up some good disguise tricks during that summer he spent in Changsha interning for Zhang Rishan.

The mountain of exposition continues, covering a wide range of topics

Skull nails

how Wen Ning is hard to control

Yin Tiger Seal 1.0

Yin Tiger Seal 2.0

other pieces of Yin metal

Xue Yang's mysterious friend who is good at acting, i.e. Jin Guangyao.

Wei Wuxian being the founder of demonic cultivation

Xue Yang murdering the Chang clan

Xue Yang murdering Song Lan's sect

Murder Turtle

The Yin metal sword

The conversation does clear up some confusion about the Yin metal pieces from back in the day. Everyone thought there were only four, but Xue Yang is a Wuxia fan and knows that whenever something from a previous generation is hidden away for the good of the world and then is found by a later generation, there are always five of it. (See: Legend of Fei, Word of Honor)

During this conversation, Xue Yang shows a sincere admiration of Wei Wuxian, saying that he himself only figured out some things about Yin metal, but Wei Wuxian was able to learn without a teacher and create the Yin Tiger seal. It's...kinda sweet. He follows it up by explaining his "murder everybody" philosophy, which makes it a little less sweet.

Fight Club

Mercifully, this near-endless conversation is interrupted by Song Lan crashing through the wall like the Kool-Aid guy, followed by Wen Ning in full multi-punch-man mode. 

Wei Wuxian tells the boys to take it outside, and then he and Xue Yang go out to watch the fight. Xue Yang was never able to control Wen Ning, he says, because "some things recognize their masters too well." Wei Wuxian says that Wen Ning is not a thing. He doesn't deny that he is Wen Ning's master, however. As if he could.

Xue Yang responds with some linguistic subtlety that is lost in translation and then draws his  Xiao Xingchen's sword and takes a swipe at Wei Wuxian, who easily ducks the blow. 

Xue Yang explains that he doesn't want to kill him, just capture and enslave him. Then the fight is on, with Wei Wuxian dodging, blocking, and spinning, while whining about having low spiritual energy in his new body. 

Wei Wuxian calls for a substitute to do his fighting for him. Xue Yang says that Hanguang-Jun is busy fighting his little friend. (I find it hilarious that Xue Yang consistently refers to Su She as his little friend.) He's barely finished saying this when Lan Wangji comes sailing in, deflecting his blow and striking a pose for Wei Wuxian.

Sometimes you succeed in recoloring a super foggy, blue-tinted gif, and sometimes you just give up.

Lan Wangji immediately yoinks Xiao Xingchen's sword off of Xue Yang, and tells him he doesn't deserve this sword. Boy howdy, Hanguang-Jun, you don't know the half of it. 

Xue Yang summons his own sword out of thin air and Sword Superfan Lan Wangji says "Calamity Befalls" because he knows the names of ALL the swords. The guys in his Discord are going to be so excited that he got to cross blades with two famous swords in one day.

Before the fighting starts, Lan Wangji tells Wei Wuxian to hit the bricks, saying "you are not needed here." I love that grown-up, mellower, affectionate Lan Wangji is still a salty bitch. 

Wei Wuxian bails while Lan Wangji and Xue Yang bust out a bunch of their best moves, with the actors doing a lot of the stunt work themselves.

This sword move by Wang Haoxuan is pretty great. Useless, like Wei Wuxian's spinning, but hawt.

And Wang Yibo is grace personified when he’s on wires.

While the sword fight is going on, Wen Ning and Song Lan are having a frowning contest.

They are also beating the crap out of each other.  

The juniors watch the punch-up with keen interest; Jingyi is particularly happy about it. Jin Ling isn't smiling but he seems pretty entertained for a guy who's dad was killed by one of those same punches.

Wei Wuxian sees the fight and reflects that he's not needed there either. But that the juniors do need him, and he gets a happy little smile, finding a context in which he can be useful. 

The juniors all flock to him like ducklings and he teases them about his terrible congee.

When they see Lan Wangji fighting, the little Lans all preen. Jingyi announces that Hanguang-Jun is the best, and asks Wei Wuxian to confirm it. Wei Wuxian is surprised to be asked, given that he's just a random guy who is obviously fucking their favorite teacher. 

Jingy is offended when Wei Wuxian doesn't immediately agree, but Wei Wuxian contemplates for a bit, thinking about all the ways that Lan Wangji is the best, particularly his dick, and chuckles to himself while agreeing with Jingyi.

Lan Wangji backs up these assertions by pausing for a moment in his fight to knock out a whole group of zombies with one strum of his invisible guqin...zombies who dared to menace Wei Wuxian. 

Grave Disturbance

Wei Wuxian collects the kids and goes to find A-Qing, saying she has something important to communicate, and that she's not on Xue Yang's side. He also tells the kids that the dude fighting Lan Wangji is Xue Yang. He doesn’t explain why or how, though. 

They all go into the coffin house/morgue, where Wei Wuxian says they're safe because they haven’t seen any zombies since, like, four minutes ago. Seems logical.

A-Qing pops up from behind a coffin and starts tapping it. She makes it super incredibly obvious, through hand signals, that she wants someone to open the coffin, and most of them, including Wei Wuxian, are too dumb to understand this.

Fortunately Jin Ling is paying attention, and explains what she wants. Wei Wuxian tells everyone to back up, in case the coffin is trapped, and then opens it by leaning directly over it.

Xiao Xingchen is in the coffin, and this time we know it's the real Xiao Xingchen because Wei Wuxian has a flashback about him. 

A-Qing somehow knows it's him in the coffin, despite being blind and not reaching in to touch him. She cries tears of blood because that is exactly how human tear ducts and eyeballs work.

Since she's mute, Sizhui suggests using inquiry to talk to her. She's...alive? Does inquiry work on alive people? Whatever. Wei Wuxian says that Inquiry won’t help, and that he's going to use Empathy instead, because what this show needs right now is a two-episode-long flashback. Jin Ling objects, saying it's too dangerous, but Wei Wuxian says to STFU and let's get cracking.

Then he tells us about his favorite mango drink. At least, if you are watching on Viki, where some of the original ads are included with the episodes. The combination of an abrupt, somber episode ending, followed immediately by a cheerful in-character advertisement, is never not hilarious.

Rise April Challenge 21: Jokes

Prev - Next - Masterpost Ao3 Link: Here

Leo had a sly smile as he approached Casey from behind, who was sitting on the couch with Mikey watching TV.  

“Hey, man.” He said, leaning over and wrapping his arm around Jr. The time traveler looked up with a bright smile.

“Hi Leonardo. How are you?”

“Oh, I’m wonderful, my friend.” Leo said, eyes mischievous. “Say, I was wondering, what do you call a baby butterfly with whiskers?”

Casey tilted his head in confusion, while Mikey's eyes widened, and he sat up straight. A look of fear on his face.

“Leo don’t-”

“A cat-erpillar.” 

Mikey fell back and groaned in annoyance, while Leo erupted with laughter. “Oh, that was a good one.” Leo brushed away a tear.

“But... caterpillars don't have whiskers.”

The two brothers stared at Casey for a moment, and Casey just stared back. Then his eyes went wide with realization.

“Oh, because cats have whiskers, and caterpillar starts with ‘cat.’ Cat-erpillar.” He started chuckling and giggling. “I get it! That's pretty funny sensei.”

Leo’s eyes went wide, and his face fell with shock. Then he lit up like a sunrise. Mikey saw this and began to wave his arms around in a panic.

“Leo, wait-”

“Oh, this is going to be fun!”

“No, it won’t! Leo, please-”

-

The next time they were eating pizza with the family. Leo smiled and bumped Casey’s shoulder with his own.

“Hey, kid.” He said and Casey looked up. “I saw this really cool chimney for sale and was thinking about buying it.” Jr furrowed his brow, while everyone else went stiff with concealed panic.

“Why would you want to buy a chimney? We live underground.” Leo waved his hands dismissively.

“Not important to the story. I thought it was going to cost a lot it turns out it was-”

“Nardo, please!”

“-on the house.”

The table erupted in groans and there was a bang as Raph dropped his head to the table. Casey just nodded at his master's words.

“Well, that was nice of them.” He turned and took another bite of pizza, then stopped mid chew a look of deep thought on his face. Then, he spit out the bite as he started to laugh.

“OH! On the house! Because roofs are on top of houses.”

“Ah, there you go.” Leo said, slapping Casey on the back. “See guys, he gets it!”

“This is going to be a thing, isn’t it?” Donnie asked, unenthusiastically and already knowing the answer. Leo just smirked back.

“Of course, it is.”

-

Leo and junior were sitting by themselves on a rooftop, when Leo turned to his friend.

“You know, I used to have this friend with kind of messed up feet.”

“Really?” Casey asked, turning to face him.

“Yeah,” Leo said, leaning back. “He would always stand super crooked and would always have to keep rocking back and forth to keep standing up.” Casey's face pinched in sympathy at the thought.

“Did it hurt him?”

“Naw, it was mostly just annoying or uncomfortable. Eventually, his doctor recommended that he at these new orthopedic shoes, and he kept saying that they weren't for him, but he did end up getting them and now he...”

Leo looks Casey straight in the eyes as he finishes his sentence, looking like the cat who had caught the canary. “...stands corrected.”

Casey just smiled back at the smug face.

“That's good for them. I'm happy they found something that works.”

Silence. Then-

“Wait a sec! Mater Leonardo-”

“HAHAHHAHHA!”

-

“Casey!” Leo called, and Jr quickly bolted over worried.

“Leonardo, what is it?” He found him standing by the closed bathroom door. Leo looked over and smiled.

“I need your help.” The turtle said, stepping back. “The door is jammed.”

And, indeed, sitting on the door handle was a jar of jam.  

“Ok, I’ll try and open it” Casey said politely, walking over and picking up the jar. He was already pushing down on the handle before he looked at the label on the jar and froze.

Leo burst out laughing and nearly fell over, gasping and bending over with his arms wrapped around his stomach. Casey just furrowed his brow in confusion, mouthing the words over. Then he straightened up, looked at the laughing turtle and began to giggle himself.

“I don't think that was as a good as the others.” he said, still chuckling.

“Oh, come on! That was a great one!” Leo said, taking the jar from Casey and leaving to return it to the kitchen.

-

“Hey, Leo?” Casey asked from his seat in the back of the tank.

The slidder smiled at the use of the nickname, instead of “sensei,” or “master.” It was nice that the kid was starting to relax around him.

“What up, Jr?” He responded and looked back. The kid was shifting back and forth anxiously. He then shyly looked up and cleared his throat.

“What do you call a dog that can do magic?”

The rest of the tank froze and stared in shock at the time traveler. Was he about to...

“I don’t know,” Leo said casually, not really taking in the question.

“A Labra-cadavrador.”

Leo’s head finally caught up to the conversation and his eyes went wide.

“Did he just...?” Mikey asked.

“No,” Donnie said. “He couldn’t have.”

Before the shocked discussion could go any further, Leo launched himself out of seat and tackled the human boy with a hug, laughing and squishing the boy tight.

“That was so good, kid!” He cried joy overwhelming him at the thought that Casey could relax enough for him to joke like that. The kid trusted him, the kid was joking! Leo had never been prouder.  

“You deserve around of a-paws for that one.” The slidder said, still hugging the kid tight. A round of groans echoed in the car. “Don’t listen to them, Casey. That joke was paw-some!”

“Stop it! No more!”

“Sorry, Mikey,” Casey said, rubbing the back of his head from his spot in Leo’s arms. “Can you, uh, fur-give me?”

“Donnie, open the window. I’m jumping out.”

“Wait, no! I really am sorry! I’ll stop!”

“Would you care if I joined you, Angelo?”

“WAIT! NO, SIRS-”

Ion & Emily

Cannonball's Story - Part I

Ion & Emily Masterpost

Emily and I are laying in bed. She's reading something on her phone… something about deconstructivism I think, I'm not one hundred percent sure. Don't get me wrong, her art is amazing and I absolutely love when she talks shop, but I sometimes get lost when she gets really deep into it.

Sorry. I'm getting distracted… Emily. Girlfriend. My very favorite person in the world. I love her. She's amazing.

Okay, so we're laying in bed. Her back's to me and I'm tracing the dragon tattoo on her back with my fingertips. All of a sudden, something clicks in my mind.

"Wait a minute," I say. "You're indestructible. How do you have tattoos?"

Because she's former child superhero Cannonball, notable for being completely impervious to any injury. I still can't get over the fact that I'm dating a celebrity I had a huge crush on as a teenager… sorry, distracted again.

Anyway, she puts her phone down and rolls over to face me and she's got this really thoughtful look on her face, like there's a story here with a ton of emotion behind it. She looks at her wrist and the really rough star tattoo there. Like, super rough, like a diy at home stick and poke looking thing.

"Do you want the short version or the long version?" she asks.

Oh god, I want the long version.

"I want the version you want to share," I reply.

She smirks. She knows I want the long version.

"Alright, so like… two months after I turned eighteen…"

Emily wiped the condensation off the mirror. A black eye stared back at her. It took a lot for her to bruise, indestructible as she was, but hit her hard enough in just the right way and it could leave a mark. For example, a thrown I-beam to the face could do the trick.

She and John had been fighting Topaz Titan and things had gotten slightly out of hand. John, Shadowkid, made the mistake of stepping in wet concrete. Topaz saw his shot and launched the projectiles at him. Emily barely managed to shove him out of the way when it hit. She must have blacked out for a minute or two; when she came too John had beaten the absolutely crap out of Topaz. Both of them knew how to end a fight just as well as drag one out. The I-beam had been meant to kill, so it was an invitation for the gloves to come off.

The fact was Topaz Titan had meant to hurt them. And that scared the crap out of her.

John was content to linger and preen with the media, but all she had wanted to do was go home and stand in the shower until she could forget and just not feel any more.

Normal teenagers weren't supposed to worry about shit like this. Normal kids her age were filling out college applications and worrying about asking their classmates to dances or whatever. Emily wasn't normal. She never had been normal. 

How could she be? The daughter of Cobalt Blade and Moon Fox had a legacy to uphold. Thank god she had a twin brother to help shoulder that burden… Shadow Kid and Cannonball, 2011's Junior Superhero Team of the Year…

In some ways, that was worse, but at least she wasn't alone.

As the room filled with steam, she saw her whole miserable life stretch out in front of her. Fight the bad guys, pose for the cameras, rinse, wash, repeat ad infinitum. Sure, some of the bad guys were in on the bit, vital cogs in the superhero industrial complex. They were there to help her sell toothpaste or athletic gear or whatever the hell product the sponsor of the week was trying to sell.

But then there were always the real bad guys, the real threats. When they showed up, it would be on her to defend and protect. It would be on her to take every punch, every bullet, every lightning bolt. She was Cannonball. Her powers put her right in the line of fire. Every. Single. Time.

And it would never end.

She glared at the girl in the mirror, daring her to derail the carrousel of her life. She wanted to scream, she wanted… something… anything.

Not that that would accomplish anything substantive. The last time she had done something impulsive, the last time she had tried to take control of her life, it got spun into something marketable. She chopped off her hair and stuck a pride pin on her costume and now she was another symbol for rainbow capitalism.

And yeah, she had submitted applications to art schools, just a tiny little act of secret rebellion. The problem was her schedule was so packed, her portfolio was notably barren. There was no time for art. There was barely time for regular school work.

Her thoughts were interrupted by a sharp knock at the door. A moment later, Janice entered. Despite her dark mood, Emily felt a tiny thrill at the presence of her girlfriend-

"Wait, wait, wait. Pause. Time out." I interject. "Janice? As in Janice from media relations?"

Emily pinches the bridge of her nose and lets out a heavy sigh.

"Yeah… that Janice. She interned with our media team. She was two years older than me, she was hot. We ended up dating for a minute."

"...What??"

"Listen, it's not like I had many dating prospects at the time. Can you blame horny dumbass baby lesbian me for falling head over heels for the first girl to bat her eyelashes at me?"

"But… Janice?"

She smacks me with a pillow.

"I'm bearing my soul here, and you're making fun of me," she chides with a wry tone. "Do you want to hear the story or not?"

"Okay, sorry. Please, do continue."

-Janice. Punctual, dependable, occasionally cold Janice.

Emily turned to face her, desperate for some indication that everything was alright, that she was overreacting.

"Ah," Janice said, wincing slightly at the sight of the bruise. "Let's take a look at that."

Her hands were firm and gentle as she took Emily's face in them. She examined the black eye with a clinical expression and pursed lips.

"Well…" she said finally. "It's not too bad. We'll have to cancel tomorrow's photoshoot, but you should be okay for Thursday's interview with some make up. We can do the run through for that during the photoshoot time slot."

Emily felt the bottom drop out of her stomach. She should have anticipated that. She didn't know exactly where the breaking point was until that exact moment.

She pulled away from Janice and faced the mirror once more.

"I can't do this," she whispered, desperately trying to keep her voice from breaking.

Janice cocked her head.

"What? The interview? We can probably-"

"No!" Emily shouted. She gestured to the room with its bland, generic superhero posters. She gestured to where her costume still lay crumpled on the floor. She gestured to the tablet in Janice's hand where every single minute of her life was scheduled.

"This!" Emily snapped. "All of this. I can't do this any more. I can't keep being a superhero. I can't keep going on like this. I can't go on having every damn minute of my life scheduled. I can't go on having the shit beat out of me because I can take a punch. I hate it. I never… goddamnit, I never wanted to do it in the first place. I'm done. I quit."

Janice's mouth dropped open and her eyes practically bugged out. In their entire time together, Janice had always been perfectly composed. Emily had never seen her shaken before this moment. Emily couldn't blame her, she was basically watching her nascent career go up in flames.

"What are you… no, you can't," Janice replied with a slight tremor. "There's… contracts and sponsors and-"

"I don't care," Emily interrupted. "We have an army of lawyers, let them figure it out. I'm. Done."

"Emmy, where is this coming from? Talk to me."

Emily closed her eyes and sighed. This was the hardest part, she knew it was coming, but that didn't make it any easier.

"Janice… I think… I think we're done too."

There was a beat, then a soft gasp.

"Are… are you breaking up with me?"

Emily squeezed her eyes tighter.

"Yeah, I guess I am."

"Oh… I… excuse me…"

Emily didn't open her eyes as Janice fled the room. Instead, she clutched the edge of the sink until her knuckles hurt and gave up trying to fight back her tears.

It was for the best, she told herself. They weren't right for each other, it had always just been some stupid teenager's romantic fantasy. She almost believed it, almost convinced herself that it would be alright. Maybe she'd believe it one day, but right now it felt too raw.

She finally opened her eyes and looked at the girl in the mirror. Despite her heartache, despite the fact that she just upended her entire life, she felt indescribable relief. The whole gamut of emotion warred on inside her as she tried to make sense of her reflection.

The girl staring back at her was Emily. Not Cannonball. Just Emily. Normal, nothing special Emily. It was a version of her that didn't have to worry about posing for photos to sell shampoo or appearing in science education videos aimed at middle schoolers. It was a version of her that could go to college, get an art degree, maybe work at a coffee shop or something to pay the bills. It was a version of her that could be free.

She glanced back at her discarded costume.

She was never wearing it again.

She needed to get out of there. It didn't matter where, just anywhere that wasn't the Tower.

She sprinted to her closet and threw on some street clothes. Ratty jeans, leather jacket, her favorite boots… god, she could wear whatever she wanted and not have to listen to Janice complain about her fashion choices.

That thought brought a twinge of guilt. 

No, Janice would be fine. She was too relentless, too driven not to land on her feet. This was for the best.

Emily threw open the door, only to find herself face to face with her brother. They were the same age, minutes apart, but somehow he had managed to gain six inches on her when they were fifteen and she had never caught up, so she had to tilt her head slightly to meet his eyes. Those eyes, the same brown as hers, looked down at her with confusion and concern.

"John," she said dazedly.

His was the one opinion in the world she actually cared about and she wasn't sure she was quite ready for this inevitable confrontation.

"Em… uh… I was just coming to check on you and…" he glanced over his shoulder down the hall. "Is Janice alright? I've never seen her that upset… like, ever."

"I just broke up with her," Emily said dully. "I think I might have broken her heart."

"Okay…" he replied. "Uh… you wanna talk about it?"

She took a breath. Here goes nothing.

"John," she said. "You remember how we promised we'd have each other's backs no matter what?"

"Yeah…" he replied cautiously.

"I don't… I don't know if I can…"

She took another breath.

"I'm quitting the League," she admitted. "I'm retiring. No more Cannonball."

He huffed a laugh and ran a hand through his hair. She blinked in confusion.

"Em," he said with a smile. "I've got your back. I'll always have your back. But, like, that promise wasn't just about super shit. I mean, admit it, you've been totally miserable the past few months."

It was Emily's turn to let out a laugh. Of course he knew. He knew her better than anyone. Maybe he was the only person who knew her.

"Yeah, I guess so," she admitted. "I don't know, it was fun at first, I guess. I just… this isn't the life I want. I don't want to be the punching bag for the rest of my life."

He took her shoulders in his hands and peered down at her.

"Em. It's fine. You can quit. Don't worry about what anyone else thinks. Not Janice or mom or dad or even me. You gotta do what's best for you. I love you and I want you to be happy."

More tears filled her eyes.

"Who are you and what have you done with my brother?" she asked as she wiped at her cheeks.

He laughed and she wrapped her arms around him in a tight embrace.

"Still got my back?" he asked, returning the hug.

"Mhmm," she replied as more tears fell.

"I need to go out for a bit," she told him when she finally let go. "Gotta clear my head. Can you cover for me?"

"Uhh… how late do you think you'll be back?" he asked warily.

She shrugged.

"As long as you can give me."

Kim Hee Chul

Heechul (Super Junior)

Deck: E. A. Poe

Spread: Kinky*

Position - XII The Hanged Man

Heechul is likely extremely devoted and ready to do anything for his partner when he’s in a relationship. He’s likely to make sacrifices, if necessary, in order to make his lover happy and content in the relationship. He’s more on a submissive side when it comes to it, though. While he’s pretty assertive on the outside, if he ever gets married or if he’s in a serious relationship, he’s one of those whipped men who will follow any order of their sweetheart. In private, preferably, so he doesn’t lose his face.

Libido - 6 of Wands

Heechul is likely pretty confident and daring when it comes to his sexuality. He’s not shy to express himself in clear terms or in sassy hints which actually leave no one in doubts. Heechul is also a very warm and fun lover, he’s no beast, but he does enjoy love making to the fullest and it’s a celebration for him every single time. He will make his lover feel special. At the same time he likes to take the spotlight in bed. He will expect to be praised for his job well done.

Turn On - Knight of Cups

Heechul is likely to feel attracted to a gentle, romantic and in a way pure partner. He’s likely to seek someone younger, with their heart still light and untinted with the hardships. Heechul seeks for emotional bond in the first place. No matter how hot the person is, if Heechul can’t fall in love with them, there’s no future.

Kink - Page of Wands

Heechul is a rather playful lover. He’s likely to have a thing for dressing up and role plays maybe. If he feels especially wild at the moment, he’s likely to put his collection of toys to good use. 

Dirtiest Secret* - Ace of Cups

Oh dear! Why do you always pick the softies? Heechul’s secret is that he’s actually a hopeless romantic and a vanilla type of guy and totally whipped for his lover when in a relationship. Great. Another sassy legend goes down because my cards think he’s a cutie pie. Lol.

I'm sorry, sir, but what exactly are you referring to here? 😏😂

Thank you for reading!

Taylor Swift Meets Hockey RPF: Advent Calendar Day 18

And the 8th ficciest Taylor Swift song of all time is…

Song: I’m Only Me When I’m With You Album: Taylor Swift Year: 2007 Lyrics: https://genius.com/Taylor-swift-im-only-me-when-im-with-you-lyrics Ficciness Rank: #8

I suspect this song is a bit of a deep cut in Taylor’s discography (is it?? I don't know things), but I love it, and it is SUPER FICCY. Not pining-related at all, not even specifically romantic, but it is soooo deeply codependent and I am here for it. Just look at these lyrics:

Friday night beneath the stars In a field behind your yard You and I are painting pictures in the sky Sometimes we don't say a thing Just listen to the crickets sing Everything I need is right here by my side And I know everything about you I don't wanna live without you

This is the friendship that we know is going to turn into romantic love when it shows up in hockey RPF. It’s the connection with a teammate who you think is just the best friend you’ve ever found, the buddy who was made for you, and it hasn’t occurred to you yet that you could want more than friendship and that maybe most friends don’t act like this. As a bonus, it’s reciprocal–look at how these lyrics flip later on in the song:

And you know everything about me You say that you can't live without me

Oh yeah, someone’s crush is about to be epically returned. With intense eye contact and eventual smooches.

Gotta throw in these lyrics, too, since they capture a specific dynamic I love in fic:

Well, you drive me crazy half the time The other half, I'm only tryin' to Let you know that what I feel is true

Is there anything better than two best friends who are constantly sniping at each other and that’s part of why they’re so good for each other?

Pairing I’d assign to this song: Mike McLeod and Nathan Bastian, the self-proclaimed superbuddies. It’s so rare that two guys who are best friends in juniors get to play together in the NHL. Even rarer that one of them gets scooped up in an expansion draft and then gets traded back to their original team so they can be together again. It’s a love story for the ages. For angst potential, we’re gonna situate this song in the summer of 2021 after Nate’s just been snatched away by the Kraken. The season hasn’t started yet, so they’re both in Ontario, and nothing has changed in a day-to-day sense but they know that it will as soon as training camp starts. It’s a dark cloud over everything. And it shouldn’t matter this much–Mike knows that most people don’t get to keep playing with their friends from juniors, that this isn’t a normal thing to expect from an NHL career. But it still hurts way more than he thought it would to face the prospect of the Devils without Nate. It’s enough to make him think…but no. They’re totally just normal friends! Haha why would they be anything else!! But after they’ve spent two months apart, when Nate gets surprise-traded back to the Devils, Mike’s not not going to run up to him and kiss him on the mouth.

Lyrics to title this story: Only Up When You’re Not Down

Idle's Monster High AU - Masterpost

AU Description & Author Notes This Monster High AU has been in development since about 2020, when I first became extremely interested in Monster High (I had seen a bit of it prior to 2020 but didn't get super invested 'til then). It is mainly inspired by G1's canon, and follows many of its rules, however changes are inevitable to fit new ideas into this universe's canon.

The AU mainly follows Frankie Stein as they and their fellow classmates begin the new school year at Monster High, a school founded on the welcoming of all monster kind. It begins a few months prior to Frankie's first day, and will probably span at most into her 2nd/sophomore year at the school. Some Junior High/prelude stories will be written here or there, mainly where Jackson Jekyll and his newfound Hyde at the time, Holt, have the lead character role over Frankie. There might occasionally be a story or two about the parents of some students, too.

Each story accompanying the AU is written in either the most appropriate POV for the story, or as a MultiPOV when a more complex story is being told.

I was partly inspired by huniibuniibxxs's AU/redesigns a few years back over on her old Instagram page. Their art really inspired me, and I felt more encouraged to draw the characters in a more stylized way without worrying about how different it looked to official art because of them. Go check them out!

Restless Rewatch: The Untamed, Episode 37 part one

(Masterpost) (Pinboard)  (whole thing on AO3)

Warning! Spoilers for All 50 Episodes!

Never Trust a Big Butt and Smile (Poison)

Wei Wuxian has gathered all the juniors together in the paper-offerings shop run by the corpse lady, and asks for volunteers to help him in the kitchen. 

Teacher's pet Sizhui jumps forward, abandoning Jingyi and leaving the field clear for Ouyang Zizhen to make his move.

He tells the other kids to stay put, but Jin Ling follows along to go make a nuisance of himself.

DLWJLF (Dad Lan Wangji would Like to Fuck)

Now we get to see Wei Wuxian in a new dad mode; not entertaining and protecting young A-Yuan, but guiding teenager Jin Ling to be less of a prat. On one level he is talking to him forcefully and generally not having patience for his crap, but on another level he is carefully teaching him.

Wei Wuxian explains that glutinous rice (aka sticky rice, aka sweet rice) can cure corpse poisoning, and proceeds to cook it up with every kind of pepper he can find in the kitchen, in a sequence that has got to be an intentional parody (full gifset here) of the lovingly-filmed food porn that shows up in so many Asian dramas (for example).

(More behind the cut!)

While the rice is cooking, Jin Ling finally explains what brought them here; they all came following a trail of hideously murdered "cats." The show avoids having to put an explanatory note on the screen saying "this is a digital cat and no actual cats were harmed" by showing us this ridiculously bad stuffed toy cat. 

On this occasion I genuinely appreciate the department of dubious practical effects, since I don't really want to see a realistic dead cat. But wow, this is super bad. It doesn’t even have paws, just weird stubby peg feet. It is probably made from leftover bits of whatever they used to make Wen Chao’s dog. Also, the MEOW noise happens right when Jin Ling opens the door, when the cat is clearly already dead. Maybe the cat's ghost is doing the meowing.

During Jin Ling's flashback, we get to see Fairy in action. Fairy is a special, extra smart, spiritually attuned dog. 

His powers include barking at the door when someone stands directly outside the door stringing up a dead cat from the rafters. I feel like maybe Fairy needs to aim a little higher in life.

Wei Wuxian thinks about the cat-murdering, and reflects that it's horrifying, but that whoever did it "didn't actually cause any harm."

Ghosts of a whole lot of deceased cats: easy for you to say, asshole

I'm still a little unclear on who actually did the cat murders. I think it was Xue Yang? since he wanted to lure the Yiling Laozu to Yi City, and couldn't rely on the qiankun bag of plot convenience to get him there.  Possibly he also wanted to kill and eat the juniors, like the clown in IT. I've seen people saying it was Nie Huaisang, but I don't think he had a motive to get the juniors to go there, given that Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji were already headed that way because of the spirit thingy.

When the rice is ready Wei Wuxian sends the kids to deliver it to their poisoned buddies. Wei Wuxian pauses to give Jin Ling a little more uncleing.

Jingyi tries the rice, which is absolutely loaded with spice, and asks if Wei Wuxian is trying to poison them some more. 

Wei Wuxian has the audacity to think "could it be that I accidentally spilled pepper powder in there?" Bitch, we just watched you dump a whole bowl of red pepper flakes AND a bowl of black pepper AND several whole-ass red chilies in there. Your memory isn't that bad.

Sizhui tries it and does a nice spit-take; then he says that the taste is familiar. I think this is the first instance of him remembering something from his time with Wei Wuxian, and I love that the trigger for his eventual cascade of recovered memory is Wei Wuxian's terrible cooking.

Wei Wuxian makes them eat it anyway, and then laughs to himself about it.

Young Miss Jump-Scare

Wei Wuxian hears A-Qing's stick in the lane outside, and goes to a hole in the wall to look at her. Once he's had a look he says "wow! she's amazing!" to lure the kids into looking. 

Jin Ling goes to look and A-Qing obligingly sticks her face right into the camera for a jump scare. 

Camera Operator: Damn, warn a guy, will you?

Next Jin Ling lures Sizhui to look, and A-Qing provides another jump scare, this time drooling blood out of her mouth. Then she goes back to walking in circles in the street while the boys all check her out, mostly platonically, except for Ouyang Zizhen, who is in love with literally everybody so can’t do platonic.

Wei Wuxian, fully in Wei-Laoshi mode at this point, tells the kids that they should look at A-Qing precisely because they are scared; as cultivators, they need to look past their fear and be able to identify things correctly. 

Sizhui, Jin Ling, and Ouyang Zizhen all take turns looking and all make different observations about her, and receive feedback from Wei Wuxian about the quality of their observations. 

Itty-bitty Lan Sizhui, hilariously, says that she’s only as tall as his chest. According to wiki.d-addicts, he is a whopping 7 centimeters taller than she is in real life. He has doomed himself to having to stand on a box any time he is next to her. Which, you know, he mostly won't be, because of all the death.

Conveniently, the window has a whole bunch of strategically-placed rips in it, so several of them can look out at the same time, like the Joke Wall on Rowan & Martin's Laugh-in. No I am not that old, but the reruns were inescapable when I was a child. 

Do these knuckleheads think they are hiding? Very subtle, guys.

A-Qing wanders around and bleeds for a bit, but then she hears someone coming and skedaddles. The someone who arrives is Xiao Xingchen, wearing a ribbon/bandage over his eyes, no guan, and dark robes. 

Wei Wuxian recognizes him anyway, because Xiao Xingchen is famously pretty no matter how he's styled. Also he has his sword and waves it around conspicuously.

Wei Wuxian immediately decides to rescue him, over the objections of Jin Ling, but has to move quickly to avoid being poisoned by the AfterEffects volumetric fog that covers the street. 

He also has to do a hella cool spell, with a mix of light-talisman drawing and poetry reciting, which impresses all of the youngsters.

 For some reason it also causes a bunch of mild squib explosions on the outside of the wall. He comes back in, super-quick, with Xiao Xingchen clutched against his side, warning the kids not to come near because "even skin-to-skin contact will poison you." 

Dude, we weren't planning on getting naked with your uncle, chill out.

He sets him down and whispers to him, calling him Xiao Shi Shu,小师叔 which is how he would address his father's martial younger brother, not his mother's, according to my deep Google-translated knowledge of Chinese forms of address. I'm going to go ahead and assume that Wei Wuxian knows the subtleties of this sort of thing better than I do. 

ANYhoo, Wei Wuxian lets Xiao Xingchen know who he is, without actually saying his name, since some of these kids might have good hearing. He tells Sizhui to get a bowl of congee. Jin Ling objects to helping XXC, because he might be a bad guy, and Jingyi vigorously defends him, saying that he was being attacked by corpses, so is definitely a good guy. That...is not how zombie attacks work, but ok. He also cites Lan rules about helping the dying, which is a rare instance of Jingyi giving a fuck about the rules.

After bringing the congee, Sizhui looks at Xiao Xingchen's sword and immediately recognizes it as Shuanghua, announcing it to the other juniors, who come racing over to look. 

The kids instantly figure out that the guy is Xiao Xingchen. They don't recognize him, mind you, just his sword. Sword fans, amirite? All of these kids are active members of the spiritual-sword fandom and can recognize swords they've never seen, but only heard about on Tumblr.

Zombie Stroll

A bunch of zombies start walking down the street at this point in a thoroughly un-menacing fashion, including one disturbingly hot zombie who looks into the window. 

This is to prepare us for the arrival of the #1 Hot Zombie, Song Lan. 

Before that, though, Wei Wuxian is going to do another spell to lock the door, so he slices his fingers open *before* asking the kids if they have any talisman paper. 

This is like when I start cooking the green onions for my protein-obsessed teenage son's omelet that I make every goddamn morning in a bid to always do the exact opposite of my own mother's shitty parenting before I check to see if I have any eggs. Crack the eggs first, Wei Wuxian.

All of the kids offer up their blood, which he doesn't need, but don't have any blank talisman paper. Why does he need paper when he drew the other spell in the middle of the air? Never mind, never mind.

He is unfairly annoyed at this, considering that he didn't bring any paper either. He overwrites an Already-Been-Chewed one that Jin Ling produces and uses it to seal the door, which totally astonishes all of the junior cultivators, like they haven't seen magic before.

Immediately after he seals the door, Song Lan drops in through a hole in the ceiling, that Wei Wuxian really should have thought about when sealing the room up.  

Song Lan strikes a sexy pose--oh, who am I kidding, all of his poses are sexy--and stands there being admired for a bit, before half-heartedly swinging a sword toward Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian responds by verrrry sloooowly booting up his flute and playing something, while all of the kids lunge toward Song Lan at the same time, and all get deflected and knocked down. 

The flute playing does seem to stop Song Lan from actually killing anyone, and they are able to tie him up with their magic shibari rope.

A note about how Wei Wuxian's powers appear to work, for those who find his abilities confusing. As I understand it, any skilled cultivator can make use of ambient energy from the world around them. This allows the use of talismans without needing a golden core. With a golden core, a person can store qi in their body instead of relying on ambient energy.

Wei Wuxian, as the inventor of Demonic cultivation Xue Chonghai? We don’t know him. is able to pull on ambient *resentful* energy from the dead folks around him and use it to do stuff. But he can't store it in his body very well, which is why he creates the Yin Tiger Seal. It's already pre-loaded with Yin energy and he dumps more into it to get it out of his own body. At least, he stops farting big clouds of resentment smoke after he refines the tiger seal. 

Episode 21: That’s-a spicy meatball

So, Wei Wuxian in Yi City doesn't have the yin tiger seal to draw on, but the place is chock full of ambient yin energy for him to use. Also the tiger seal 2.0 is in the room with him right now, although he's not aware of that. Is it weird that he can’t sense that his supposed uncle is carrying a giant chunk of yin metal? Never mind, never mind.

When Wei Wuxian sees that Song Lan is wearing the same black contact lenses that Wen Ning had before --well, probably not the same exact ones, the budget wasn't THAT low--he remembers about the nails in Wen Nings head, and pulls a similar nail out of Song Lan's head. 

Unfortunately he only remembered one of the two nails he extracted from Wen Ning, because he doesn't check Song Lan for a second nail, and Song Lan's contact lenses remain stubbornly in place.
