Dust's nightmare

Dust has nightmares about fighting and killing here and there, but the ones that really stick with him are the ones that are just... memories. Things he can never have again.

What he can have though, is a distraction when he wakes up to help him settle and make sure he's not alone with his thoughts for too long

An outstanding five cipher kite from the Acrobat got the survivors a win against the new hunter Fool’s Gold!!! (It’s been a month already but bear with me) Norton managed to catch him in the end and I guess it’s only fair for him to get chaired this time, I mean he really bullied the poor hunter :(

gimme a whumpee who was wearing a hoodie/other article of clothing of caretaker's when they were captured and when the hoodie finally loses caretaker's scent it destroys whumpee more than anything whumper does to them 🫶

you're at the Summers family dinner table. discussions of upcoming pride month are happening. Alex interrupts the conversation to say he thinks there should be straight pride. the whole table goes silent. Scott slowly puts his face in his hands out of sheer embarrassment and disappointment. Jean stares down at her plate and stirs her food, pretending not to notice but also not contradicting him. Cable cringes. Hope belatedly asks "what's pride month?" knowing very well this is the worst time to ask that question. Rachel takes a sip of her drink very calmly, puts it back down on the table neatly, and proceeds to telekinetically blast Alex out of the house. Vulcan isn't there because why the fuck would he be there.

So I’m a lesbian and I have no idea why Homelander is so appealing to lesbians because if we were actually in the boys universe I can say 100% that I would not be a homelander fan at all

On another note Woman Homelander would have me going feral. A woman that’s mentally unstable and can kill me? Count me in (I’m definitely a Minthara fan in Balder’s Gate😭). Obviously I’m a big supporter of women’s rights but also an even bigger supporter of women’s wrongs.

Imagine Homelander as the mean lesbian trope the possibilities are endless. Sorry, I’m completely rambling on here fem!homelander just has my brain rotting

ah yes, welcome to the "lesbians inexplicably obsessed with Homelander" club. i'm in the same boat of 'i would despise you in any context other than fiction but ur not real so i love u.'

mean lesbian Homelander ABSOLUUUUTELY has my heart (among other throbbing organs) aflutter.

idk if i've ever mentioned it here but i have an extremely specific fic idea where fem!Homelander relentlessly bullies Vought's in house barista (f!reader) every time she comes to order her whole milk latte, which she only started drinking when this barista was hired. teases her, makes fun of her job. it's all flirting but it's so hard to tell with her. one day, when Homelander is being particularly distracting, the barista messes up the order (she makes her nervous okay!!) and Homelander doesn't even need to take a sip to know it's wrong.

so naturally she holds the drink out and says, "Give this a taste for me."

poor barista is so confused, doesn't move to take it, stammers that, "I'll remake it, I'm sorry." doesn't even remember what she put in it, it was such a blur.

Homelander clicks her tongue, looking amused, and then in a flash she's snatching reader by the hair and bringing the drink to her lips. "I didn't tell you to remake it. I told you to taste it."

looks way too pleased with herself as reader takes a trembling sip of the drink. they know as soon as they taste it what they did wrong.

"Vanilla," they choke out. "I'm sorry, I added vanilla."

Homelander smiles all wolfishly. "Yeah. That's alright." She lets go of the barista. "Won't happen again, will it, sweetheart?" Gives a little wink for good measure.

"No, it won't. I promise."

"Atta girl," she says, and wipes the milk foam from the barista's lips with her thumb. Licks it off her gloved digit. "See you tomorrow."

she leaves without a new drink.

was talking about the way the supersons are one of the most fanonized relationships in comics in the tags of that one post and now i'm thinking about the weird fanon thing that's super minor but annoys me the most: there is a certain group of people who seem to believe that damian would,,, dislike jay? why????

cannot emphasize enough how the text of the comics tells us the exact opposite. like, okay:

( son of kal el issue 1, son of kal el issue 11, son of kal el issue 6 ) Damian's literally infodumping about jay and his work to anyone who will listen. And for the record- Dick decides to invest in The Truth after Damian finds out Jay's identity under the mask, so like.

Also, they get along fine out of uniform, too:

(DC pride 2022) (honestly if anything their dynamic kind of reminds me of steph and damian which leads me to conclude steph and jay would be best friends)

I think if you're going to write stuff with damian and jon you kind of have to acknowledge that jay is someone who is important to both of them. Like, Jay is part of their shared circle. Damian outright admires Jay's professional work. I'm much more interested in that reality.

The only universe where they don't get along is the Injustice universe, but that's the injustice universe where everyone sucks forever.

[tum-bakery]

I'm re-watching an ace attorney playthrough and you're the only tum blog i know who's also a fan/draws tum fanart of them and I had lil idea I wanted to share because I love putting characters in horrible situations: An earthquake hitting and causing pregnant Edgeworth to get stuck in an elevator, and the panic/stress triggers his labor. Or just an earthquake happening while he's giving birth and it just makes it so much harder for him

-boytumms :)

OH POOR GUY!!!

I feel like I read a fic with this premise a few years back, but I think it is lost to time :(

But I can fully picture this. He decides that regardless of his feelings about elevators... the stairs are too much for him. He's too close to his due date, his belly is too heavy to want to deal with multiple flights of stairs, even if he had been very stubborn about taking the stairs most of his pregnancy. One time wouldn't hurt... right?

LOTS of rambles under the cut >:)

God forbid he's alone, and/or doesn't even have phone service to call for help or support. It's a worst time, worst place situation. and I can't think if it would be kinder for him to struggle enough with labor that he doesn't make much progress before he can escape, or for labor to go painfully and shockingly fast, but... at least it's over? Either way he's screwed and it feels like it takes SO damn long, he's terrified about breathing too much and losing consciousness, or bleeding out.

From a wholesome, love conquers all perspective, I think Miles needing to go through labor while trapped, panicking and reliving bad memories- but HAVING PHOENIX WITH HIM, is genuinely such a narrative win.

Yes, the death of his dad in an elevator during his early childhood was immensely traumatic, and spurred YEARS of living in a newly abusive home life WHILE BLAMING HIMSELF FOR WHAT HAPPENED... but to have the man that proved he was innocent, that always believed in him, that has done SO MUCH for him... be right by his side? Is genuinely priceless. Phoenix is still a goofball that wouldn't know how to handle the situation at ALL, but he'd be there, he'd offer his hand to hold and be there to guide Miles through breathing. He'd do everything he could.

and to top it all off... he would come out of this traumatic event meeting his baby (or babies) and realizing it's a fresh start. Instead of the inciting incident for his terrible childhood and early adult life... it's the start of a whole new life that he can insure never has as tough of a time as he did.

And as a final situation, with a lot of dramatic flair:

Imagine a situation where an earthquake hits, he's stuck in an elevator, and things START to look up. He does get the chance to call for help, and ends up calling Phoenix, who rushes to be as close to his partner's side as he can be, not ONLY because of the panic but because... Mile's DOES realize he's in labor, and it IS just too much for him.

Phoenix gets there, but is given the unfortunate news that it's gonna take HOURS for technicians to solve the problem. Luckily they can open the doors to the elevator and there is some kind of access... but it would be almost impossible to get Miles OUT given how narrow all the gaps around the elevator are and how VERY pregnant Miles is.

So Phoenix is left waiting nearby, just outside, just barely within reach, but THERE. It's a lot of pain, a lot of panic and more than anything else a lot of waiting... but they do try their best and eventually make it through.

background/future relationship tagging on AO3

I've encountered two opposite critiques/requests* for AO3 tagging of background or future relationships, and I don't think a single perfect solution exists. But I'm curious to see if there are strong preferences.

Scenario (see my tags for why I'm basing this on a specific situation instead of making it more generic): I'm posting a one-shot story to AO3 that is about A/B hooking up for the first time. But also, both A & B used to date C, and A is trying to help B/C to get back together, which seems likely to lead to A/B/C.

*If you're less familiar with tagging dilemmas AO3, here are the two different issues I've seen:

When I've tagged offscreen/potential poly relationships like A/B/C as relationships, I've gotten some complaints because that those relationships weren't onscreen, which disappointed people who were actively seeking out A/B/C.

When I've tagged only A/B, people who only want A/B and were trying to filter out A/B/C were unhappy, because A/B/C is discussed a bunch onscreen.

My opinion about the best thing to do here has wavered back and forth, as both of the above raise valid points. Very curious to see what others think is the best tagging practice!

[thelocalconstellation]

there's like, an entire other side to this I had planned but I spent way too long trying to figure out how to do it exactly so I'm decidedly done wrestling with this for now. Might clean it up and post again later?

also yeah return of the manbun/half up hairdo that seems to just. attach to 2/3rd of my designs for this man. I have no explanation for this. Manbun. (???)

goddamn it now you've got me thinking about Sonic Minecraft headcanons and shit lmaoooo lemme like... spout a few: -Tails is the redstone nerd, he's the one who would literally learn to build computers inside of minecraft. The others purposefully ignore redstone in caves purely because they dont want him building massive shit that lags the entire server lmao, if he wants the redstone he has to get it himself. -Amy and Sonic are the two who use shaders, Sonic has a beefy-ass PC that Tails made for him so he likes to use shaders to make the world look as cool as possible, but he's also still a freak for high FPS so he tends to use low-end shaders with very basic texture packs. Amy, however, pushes her own PC to it's limits to make shit look as beautiful as possible, and she has a whole slew of texture packs that she's organized and uses. She's the screenshot lover, and the primary builder of the group. -Omega isn't in the server because he would not stop asking for mods that add explosives so he gets his own modded world where it's just.... always chaos. -Amy is also the primary server moderator, while Tails helps her with the technical stuff. -Rouge has been banned and unbanned like 14 times for stealing so now they shut down the server if Amy or Tails isn't online to make sure she doesn't cause trouble again. -Sonic, as you've mentioned, tends to explore a lot, so the others often find random dirt huts every 1000 blocks or so from when he forgets to take food with him and his sprint runs out at night time lol -Knuckles is the primary mining dude, he also absolutely refuses to give up his emeralds to trade with villagers because he wants to rebuild his home ruins in Minecraft and hopes to use emerald blocks for that. -Shadow is.... a bit of a wildcard??? He just tends to do whatever the hell he feels like, which is either building onto his house made of an assortment of random blocks, or causing absolute fucking mayhem for everyone else. He's also the one who spends his EXP on naming his weapons the most batshit insane stuff. -There was a moment in time when they were all in a VC together that Sonic said "Oh hey I found Shadow!" and not even 5 seconds later the message "SpeedyBoi was slain by XxUltimateShitlordxX" appeared in the in-game chat -Tails most likely helped set up some of their Minecraft accounts so many of them ended up stuck with names they absolutely did not choose

thats all i can think of right now lol, but this is making me wanna make a Shadow skin for MC

these are very fun, i think the only thing i would add is that the one time omega was in the server he downloaded every speedrunning strat known to man and beat the ender dragon in under five minutes

also silver does not play because he thinks herobrine is real <3

[girls-and-honey]

I don't use it so I'm curious if other people do? if you use it, what cases is it helpful for as opposed to just scheduling or queueing

TFA Oppy breeding anon. Maybe I should remove the TFA part so it doesn’t overlap with that other anon. Shrug. Also it feels like my asks are getting longer every time. Oops.

Yea, Optimus’s… mental state for the lack of a better term is a bit haywire right now. Sentinel’s words about breeding kink being shameful is right there at the top of his helm (that bitch), the part focused on the bitties/“carrier protocol” want his newest bitties to interact with their sires, his loyalty to the Autobots is like “what did you do?!” at the fact he was bred by Decepticons in the first place, and his breeding and pregnancy kink are asking when the next batch is and who it should choose. And Optimus has no idea how to handle so many conflicting thoughts.

A few weeks after Optimus’s recovery period is over and at a time where the Autobots have the warframe bitties, Snarl asks why Optimus is acting weird around anyone who isn’t a bitlet. The rest of the crew and Dinobots (minus Oppy of course) also noticed Optimus avoiding them like the plague and only focusing on the bitties. Ratchet says that it’s a good thing Optimus is getting a longer break, and everyone just stares at Ratchet because why is that what he focuses on and not the fact that Optimus isn’t being himself? They start arguing and they have to go outside to continue talking because one of the dinobot bitties threw a wrench at them because they’re being too loud.

Said dinobot bitty goes back to Oppy once the adults are gone and not making so much noise. The lil guy goes back to playing with his siblings as Optimus sits in his next and holds one of the warframe bitties to his chest. He’s scared about his breeding kink controlling him again and that seeing one of the sires will force it to act and get him knocked up. Besides, basically 10 bitties are hard enough to raise even they’re not all accounted for.

The group’s arguing makes it so they don’t hear Blitzwing nearby and he goes to sneak in and yoink the warframe bitties… again. For the second time this week. He’s easily able to make most of the warframe bitties wander away from the rest of the litters, but one just won’t come over and it’s the one happy as a clam against Optimus’s chest. Blitzwing can’t go back with only some of the warframe bitties, so starts trying to get the baby’s attention. He fails miserably as the rest of the bitties start noticing him and wondering why he’s trying to take their siblings.

Due to all the bitties stopping their playtime and looking at one specific area, Optimus notices and follows their little gazes, only to freeze up when he sees Blitzwing. All the bitties feel Optimus’s panic and are now wondering why mama is so scared, which makes them scared. All the bitties go over to Optimus for safety reasons and Blitzwing is just like “why are you like this” to the warframe bitties. The warframe bitties specifically are confused on why their carrier is scared of something near their sire. Isn’t sire going to protect them?

Blitzwing tries to get Optimus to let the warframe bitties visit sire, but Optimus’s mind is basically consumed by all the things fighting for dominance (Sentinel’s words, carrier coding, Autobot coding, breeding and preg kink). The carrier instincts win, but in the “I must protect my babies this mecha gonna harm them protect them!” sort of way. So not helpful for Blitzwing.

Blitzwing sees he’s running out of time before the rest of the Autobots notice that he’s here, so just goes to grab the warframe bitties. Optimus retaliates by biting Blitzwing’s servo and Blitzwing’s instincts makes him slam and throw Optimus into the ground. Blitzwing suddenly realizes he fucked up as all of the bitties start crying out because mama is hurt, papa help! (Or papa stop for the warframe bitties.)

The Autobots and Dinobots rush in and Blitzwing is forced to flee without any of the warframe bitties. All of the bitties are happy to see them but also very worried and scared for their carrier. Ratchet takes Optimus and tells Grimlock and Prowl to come with him while everyone else is tasked with calming down the bitties. (Prowl bc Ratchet likes his help for medical stuff that require more than one mecha and Grimlock bc his presence comforts Optimus.)

Optimus is patched up and Grimlock asks why he was hiding. And Optimus just starts crying and telling them all of these clashing protocols and codes and thoughts running through his processor and the three have to calm him down and reassure him. Oppy is happy to have the support of his mates and the bitties feel that mama isn’t as miserable anymore, so it’s easier for the others to get the bitties happy and playing again.

Oppy ends up nuzzled between Ratchet, Grimlock, and Prowl with his breeding kink kicking up and he asks the three to breed him so his haywire thoughts and codes calm down. The three can’t help but oblige.

oh man this is turning into a whole fanfiction. Poor Optimus. He just loses it completely, being a young mommy to so many bitlets in such a disadvantaged position is hard. No wonder he ends up breaking a little after Blitzwing's latest attempt at luring away the newborn warframes, Oppy doesn't know what to do with himself.

But... getting bred will certainly cheer him up <3 It always has so far. He loves his bitlets and he wants more of them, this time without any "custody battles" to follow...

You know, I wonder what the rest of Detroit thinks about the autobots reproducing so rapidly...
