today sucks so much ass 👍

[adhd-winterfalcon]

au where when tim finds dick and asks him to be robin again, dick is like “no but also are you okay?? where are your parents?” and proceeds to adopt/kidnap him

dick sends clark and diana to babysit bruce and tries to dissuade tim from being robin, but he’s a stubborn little shit so blüdhaven gains a new vigilante alongside nightwing (dick won’t let tim be bruce’s robin, not robin in general)

dick isn’t a cop because fuck you dc he would never idgaf what you think it’s wrong and goes against so much of his character!!! i hate cop!dick so much, he isn’t real to me

dick is a part-time college student majoring in human biology and minoring in psychology while training to be a paramedic. tim moves in with him (a small studio apartment) and they forge some records and IDs so tim can go to school in blüdhaven (not that the schools really care)

tim likes to read dick’s college textbooks & notes (if eligible) and spends most of his free time in the library or taking photos across the city. dick is 19 and tim is 14. jack and janet don’t even notice tim is gone

they both have enough to live comfortably but dick only uses his own money (from his parents) and tries to teach tim about like. class differences and how much normal stuff costs (i love timmy but he is a lil rich boy)

dick can cook and clean (which is CANON thank you very much), but his room is basically an organized mess (adhd-ass), while tim is used to needing his room to look perfect and deep cleans like once a week (trauma & he has a touch of the ‘tism)

when dick kills the joker, thinking tim is dead, tim gets to him in time but dick doesn’t let bruce resuscitate him and joker stays dead. this leads to post-pit jason going to blüdhaven instead of gotham.

part of him feels vindicated that his big brother the golden boy killed the clown, but part of him feels like he was replaced by tim. either way it drives him to blüdhaven. he observes nightwing and the new robin for a while, realizing that shit, this robin is just a kid. he can’t hate the new robin for something that’s not even the kid’s fault

he has a mess of complicated emotions about dick, though. again, he’s glad dick avenged him, but is mad he replaced him, and is a better brother to this robin than he was to jason. jason wanted that fun older brother. he got it for a little bit but it wasn’t nearly enough time, and then he fucking died

anyway, this of course leads to a confrontation between red hood & nightwing and robin. jason considers messing with them but decides to just get it over with (so he can yell at dick) and takes off the helmet. dick recognizes him immediately, and tim figures out who he is by dick’s reaction.

queue jason failing to be mad at dick when he starts sobbing and hugging him, and tim jumping in and making it a group hug. they bring him back to their apartment and give jason the guest room (they often have titans friends over), while jason is still like “…what just happened”

him and dick do talk later that night, and dick pretty much tells him everything. jason does the same “so they’re even”

jason goes back to gotham to protect crime alley, he has a couple safe houses set up around the city, but he visits blüdhaven whenever he can. similarly, when dick and tim are free they visit jason in gotham, at his main safe house that only they know about

going back a while, tim is kidnapped by joker while helping bruce with a case in gotham. he goes missing and bruce calls dick to see if he went back to blüdhaven, which he obviously didn’t, and dick speeds to gotham and finds joker, who tells him tim is dead and taunts him about jason. dick beats the joker to death, and doesn’t let bruce revive him, even if he has to live with what he did

after that bruce cuts contact with dick, but tries to stay in contact with tim. tim, however, is pissed at bruce for how he is treating dick and similarly cuts contact with bruce. both boys stay in contact with alfred, though, and sometimes he will update bruce on how they are doing

after jason settles into gotham, he joins dick and tim on one of their visits to alfred (while bruce is away/at work) and gets to reunite with him. alfred agrees to keep red hood’s identity a secret from bruce until jason is ready to tell him, but encourages him to do it soon because bruce misses him terribly

after blüdhaven is destroyed, dick is a wreck, so they move in with jason at his apartment near crime alley. nightwing is out of commission for a while (mentally AND physically) so robin patrols with red hood, who agrees to be as non-lethal as possible around him

dick is in a depressive episode for a while, so jason plays the role of Big Brother to tim (and dick if he’s being honest) until he feels a bit better. he’s actually the best at helping dick when he’s upset (aside from alfred ofc) and forces his ass into therapy with dinah

therapy and spending time with his brothers helps dick a lot, and he manages to force both of them to see therapists as well (not dinah cuz like. bias and legal stuff. but they find some good ones)

jason actually talks to harley sometimes (she’s calmed down a lot since the joker died and she started dating ivy), and she’s stable enough to give him solid advice occasionally. regardless, she’s a great listener and will always let him rant to her

okay flashback time again: when dick was living in titans tower in nyc, he attended college at hudson university. after about a year there, he moved to blüdhaven and transferred to blüdhaven university

tim moves in with him after dick’s been in blüdhaven for a few months. he finishes sophomore year at BU and starts paramedic training, deciding not to return to college. he’s 20 as of March and tim is almost 15

it’s around this time that jason (18) shows up- after dick’s finished sophomore year at BU but before he finishes paramedic training. after blüdhaven is destroyed, dick stops his paramedic training but eventually picks it back up again in gotham

ANYWAY so yeah the three of them share an apartment in park row

dick finishes paramedic training and starts working with gotham emergency services / thomas wayne memorial hospital (leslie’s clinic), and often helps anyone he comes across for free (he always has first aid supplies on hand & their apartment is hella stocked up)

dick and jason also often make meals for nearby homeless shelters (tim would help but he is a terrible cook, instead he manages to trick rich assholes into donating to and funding shelters, food pantries, schools, etc. in park row)

idek where i’m going with this anymore, just the three of them being brothers and visiting alfred. bruce focuses more on damian and cass, but occasionally they will all work together on a case (bruce has given up trying to get any of them- mostly jason- to move back to the manor)

damian and cass will drop by their apartment from time to time, as will alfred. jason, after watching over robin while nightwing was down, has stopped killing (for the most part) and focuses more on community support than beating up criminals

nightwing has become a sort of medic vigilante of sorts, he bounces across the city helping anyone who is injured (mostly abusive victims / those who can’t afford healthcare and are too far from leslie’s clinic to go there / homeless kids who can’t go there without having CPS called / etc)

he mainly patrols park row, but if he has time he will venture further out into the rest of gotham. tim is still robin atp, but he eventually changes his vigilante identity from robin

tim and steph still meet and become friends, but instead of working with batman as spoiler, she works with nightwing, red hood and robin. also, she is never robin, but she is batgirl for a bit

babs is oracle (okay timeline wise idk if she gets shot by joker before or after dick kills him soo i’m just gonna say before) and she helps out both the bats (bruce, dami, cass) and the birds (dick, jay, tim, steph)

steph ends up moving in with babs (who is very excited to have a little sister). this is when babs gives her batgirl, which she eventually (with permission) gives to cass.

sidenote: babs & dick are Best Friends like ride or die and that’s part of the reason dick killed joker- tho he doesn’t tell her that. they see each other all the time (the boys’ apartment building has an elevator) and stay in contact throughout all of this

robin and spoiler meet when the boys move back to gotham, and the two become fast friends. spoiler runs into red hood and robin one time and tim is like “hi S, this is my big brother!” and she’s like “your what.��

once dick is back as nightwing, he meets spoiler as well (who has told them her name is steph atp) and she’s like “i’ve heard all about you from your brothers :)” and dick is like “🥹 really?”

after that the boys tell steph their identities- “didn’t you die?!” “yeah, long story”- and she does the same- “wait is your dad that knockoff riddler guy?” “unfortunately, yeah”- and she crashes at their apartment sometimes after long nights of patrolling

it’s MY au so i say that cass found damian, understood what talia was trying to say when she saw her, and steals lil dami to arrive on bruce wayne’s doorstep. alfred opens the door and she basically shoves damian at him and then runs into the manor and launches herself at a very confused bruce with a hug. bruce is just like ‘okay i guess this is my daughter now’ and then alfred walks in with damian and he’s like ‘…i guess i have another son now too’

this all happens while tim and dick are in blüdhaven and jason is in gotham avoiding bruce like the plague. babs doesn’t tell them because she can be evil sometimes and wants to see their live reactions. imagine their surprise when the boys go to visit alfred and find two assassin children (cass is 19 but shush)

when bruce is lost in time, jace fox takes over as batman while tim, dick and cass go look for him. jason and steph stay and guard gotham and tim gives robin to damian so he can help them (and not go stir crazy without his dad). huntress and the sirens also help out in place of the three vigilantes looking for bruce

they find him faster since there’s three people looking, and everything pretty much goes back to normal after that, aside from jason being damian’s favorite older brother (instead of dick, bc he was never the batman to damian’s robin)

another sidenote: i am totally just ignoring jack and janet drake’s existence bc i don’t wanna deal with them yk? also crystal brown is alive and a decent mom, steph just moved out cuz she wanted more independence

Flying the 'Friendly' Skies

Summary:

Ochre and Magenta encounter a problem when they fly the 'friendly' skies.

“I hate flying commercial,” Captain Ochre grumbled as he and Captain Magenta shuffled up the check-in queue.

Magenta shrugged. “It’s not so bad, at least we were allowed to contribute personal funds to upgrade from cattle class.”

That was, Ochre conceded, an unexpected blessing. At least they would have some leg-room. Commercial air-liners were most decidedly not designed with people taller than 6 foot in mind. And maybe, he considered, that was an overly generous estimation of the threshold on his part. But still…

“Guaranteed there’ll be a baby screaming its head off the whole way–”

“Poor wee things can’t clear their ears,” Magenta said comfortably. “They’re in pain, don’t understand why, and can’t do anything about it.”

“Or some fat slob that takes up half my seat–”

“You try holding down a full time office job, with overtime, and get enough time – and have the energy – to do the amount of exercise you need. I used to be a lot heavier, you know. Be thankful you’re paid to attend the gym.”

“Or there’s some stranger asleep, using me as a pillow and drooling all over me–”

“Just be gentle, and you can sit them up straight, no problem.”

“Or there’s some asshole behind me kicking the seat, or the one in front put their seat back all the way down–”

“Just be polite, Rick. People respond to politeness. Use your words. Ask nicely.”

By now they were at the front of the cue, and Magenta turned on his dubious Irish charm to the harried-looking girl at the check in desk, while Ochre continued his grump. By the time they were leaving, with Magenta’s exaggerated Irish accent wishing her “A bonny day” the girl was giggling brightly.

“See?” Magenta said, resetting the personalised messenger bag Fawn had gifted the senior staff with last Christmas on his shoulder. “Just be nice. People respond to nice. You’re not a cop now, Rick. You are allowed to be a decent human being.”

Ochre humphed. And then … he poked Magenta in the ribs. “Cop joke. You owe me coffee.”

Magenta grinned brightly. “And so I do. Figured you were too deep in your sulk to notice. Oh well, let’s get you caffeinated, grumpy.” A sly grin. “If you’re a very good by, there might even be a doughnut.”

“Two coffees,” Ochre said flatly.

Two hours, two coffees, and, yes, a doughnut – he liked doughnuts, so sue him – their flight was called and Ochre and Magenta were once again queuing, this time to board their plane.

Magenta was still teasing him. “You should have gone to the bathroom,” he smirked. “Two coffees in two hours? That’ll run right through you, and you’ll be looking to use the restroom, oh, about the time we’re starting our descent. Probably about two minutes after the seat-belt light comes on.”

An elderly couple in front of them chuckled indulgently. “Oh, I hate it when that happens,” he chuckled.

She gently slapped his forearm. “You boys, you all have no idea. Try and maintain fine bladder control after three pregnancies ending in babies between 12 and 15 pounds!”

Behind Ochre and Magenta, a young woman in a chic business suit, fashionable hairstyle that gave off strong smell of a hair salon, with handbag and jewellery that screamed ‘I’m expensive’, sniffed in disgust. “That’s hardly a suitable conversation for a public place. You all ought to be ashamed of yourselves.”

The four ‘miscreants’ exchanged glances, and stifled more laughter. It generally wasn’t a good idea to antagonise someone you were about share a plane with. But there was a clear agreement between them: this woman was a pain, and hopefully they wouldn’t be seated near her.

Once boarded Rick was pleased to find that the elderly couple were seated across the aisle from them. There was the chance of some interesting conversation, at least. Less pleasing was the young woman who had chastised them sitting directly in front of Magenta. Ochre offered him a commiserating look, but Magenta merely smiled back with serene innocence. Long experience had taught Ochre to fear that look.

She did little to cause them for to reassess their initial assessment of her, huffing impatiently all the way through the steward’s safety briefing, drumming her fingers through the taxi-roll, and trying to order a complicated coffee that the stewardess was never going to be able to fulfil when the poor woman tried to complete her cabin check.

The take off was unremarkable, and Ochre and Magenta settled happily into chatting across the aisle with the elderly couple, George and Marnie, who were on their way home from an anniversary gift cruise.

Magenta gracefully dispelled the assumption that they were a couple, explaining that they worked together, and offering up the cover story that they were an investigative team from a high-end security contracting company that investigated possible embezzlement or fraudulent financial practices. It was a good cover story. It explained why they couldn’t talk about their work, covered for anything people might overhear as they talked between themselves, allowed them a measure of authority without having to reveal themselves as Spectrum Captains, but wasn’t intimidating enough that people felt uncomfortable talking to them. Whoever from Spectrum’s Intelligence Services had dreamed it up had earned their pay that day.

Comparing lists of towns they had visited, and Magenta happily extolling the virtues of Ireland as an international holiday vacation – “And be sure you visit the Republic of Ireland, south Ireland. The British still have the north, and it’s pretty miserable there.” IOchre mentally file that little quote away to drop in front of Scarlet or Rhapsody next time Magenta messed with his files.) – got them through the climb out.

Things went south after that.

The second the seatbelt lights went out, and the stewardess announced that passengers may remove their seatbelts, adjust their seat backs and that the first drinks service would be commencing shortly, the trendy young woman in front of Magenta snapped “Finally!”, fumbled with her seatbelt and, throwing the heavy buckle to score a direct hit on the sensitive area of her male neighbour’s lap sent the seat hurtling backwards until she was laying almost flat on Magenta’s lap.

A flurry of questions ascertained that the seatmate, bending forward at the waist with breathless curses, was not severely injured and, thank you, no, he didn’t need an ice pack, only elicited a pointed “People are trying to sleep, you know,” from the cause of the injury.

Five people gave her displeased looks. Ochre glanced at Magenta. He glanced pointedly at the seat back resting on his lap, and jiggled his leg in suggestion. Magenta shook his head.

He reached out and tapped her shoulder. “Excuse me, Ma’am,” he began tentatively.

“I’m trying to sleep,” was snapped back at him. “And don’t touch me.”

“Fair enough,” Magenta said evenly, “It’s just that you’ve got your chair reclined a long way back, and I’m pretty cramped up and trapped here…”

He didn’t get to finish. She twisted around to glare up at him. “I paid my money, and I’m entitled to use all the facilities here, same as everyone else. If these chairs aren’t supposed to lie back this far, they wouldn’t be able to recline back this far. If you’ve got a problem, take it up with the airline. I’m not doing anything wrong here, so kindly stop harassing me, or I’ll report you. Understand me?”

Magenta nodded, smiling amiably. “Certainly, I understand.”

“Good.” She turned back and settled back into her severely reclined chair, flipping her long hair over the back to brush against Magenta’s stomach.

Ochre raised an eyebrow at Magenta, and pointedly jiggled his leg again.

Magenta shook his head. “Rick, could you grab my bag from under my seat?”

Rick grinned and bent down groping around under Magenta’s seat for the bag, ‘inadvertently’ jostling the offending seat as he did so. This elicited a grumble from the front, but Ochre ignored it. Sitting back up he offered the bag to Magenta.

“Thanks.” Magenta propped it on their shared armrest, and started ferreting around in it.

“I know you were going to go over that file again,” Ochre began, “but seeing as you can’t see your own thighs, let alone the tray, what are you going to do?”

Magenta grinned and pulled out his mechanical counter. “I was telling you how my cousin is an entomologist doing a study on human lice? Well, seeing as how this young lady has so thoughtfully put her hair in close proximity to me, I’m going to count the nits in her hair. It’ll really help her study.”

Ochre blinked and couldn’t help the recoil, even as he vaguely noted that Magenta had obviously been spending too much time with Fawn, he had evidently learned the Doctor’s trick of projecting his voice without raising it.

All around the cabin, people turned and glared at the woman in front of Magenta. The stewardess passed the drinks trolley off to her colleague, and quickly made her way to the side of the seat where the woman was starting to splutter indignantly, even as one long-nailed hand started scratching at her scalp. “I do not have nits!” she eventually screeched.

Sparing Magenta brief glance, the stewardess addressed a stern glare at the miscreant. “Ma’am, you need to sit your chair up. You are causing discomfort to other passengers.”

The woman started spluttering again, this time at the stewardess. “That nice young man did ask her to sit up some,” the elderly lady chimed in. “She was very rude, told him that if the seat wasn’t supposed to be reclined back so far, they wouldn’t be able to recline back so far.”

“And don’t forget, Marnie, she threw the heavy end of the seat belt right into that poor young man next to her’s sensitive parts. Poor boy must still be in pain.”

“Yes, George, I was just getting to that.”

Marnie turned back to the Stewardess, who held up a hand, and addressed the unfortunate seat mate in question. “Are you all-right, sir? Can I get you anything? Shall I arrange for a medic?”

Embarrassed, the young man, shook his head. “It sure smarted, Ma’am, and I wouldn’t mind a stiff drink to anaesthetise it some, but I think I’ll survive to contribute to future generations.” A shy grin. “If I can find a young lady in agreement.”

A signal and the drinks trolley made an express trip down the aisle, delivering a stiff scotch to the injured party, before zipping back to it’s appointed place.

While the liquid first aid was being achieved, the head Stewardess had forcefully sat the seat back up, as all the while it’s occupant scratch furiously and denied any wrong doing or infestation.

The Stewardess again glared her into submission. “Ordinarily, if an infestation,” the word was infused with disdain, “is suspected, the source is isolated. Unfortunately this flight is fully booked.” She gestured towards the back of the cabin, and another stewardess made her way forward, clutching a small plastic package. It was handed to the miscreant. “As such, you are required to wear this.” She held out the package. Ochre caught a glimpse of the label, it was–

“A shower cap!” the woman screeched. “I am not wearing a shower cap! Do you have any idea how much it cost to get my hair salon styled for today?!”

The Stewardess stood firm. “If you refuse me, then the Captain will come back to ask. If you refuse him, he will divert the plane to the nearest airport and you will be removed from the flight. If you attempted to resit removal, you will face criminal charges.” She offered the package again. “Your choice.”

Snarling, the woman took the package, and under the Stewardess’s instruction put it on over her hair, making sure it was all tucked up under the protective plastic. As the Stewardess returned to her normal duties, she received a round of applause from the cabin who had been appreciative of the in-flight entertainment.

The rest of the flight went smoothly, with no further upsets. As soon as the plane came to a stop at the terminal and the door was opened, the now humbled occupant of the seat in front of Magenta jumped up and fled the airplane.

Ochre and Magenta, along with George and Marnie, and the Gio, the young man injured in the seat-belt incident, waited until everyone else had cleared the aisles before getting out of their seats.

It was the head Stewardess who guided them off the plane, and she took Ochre and Magenta aside. “Thank you for your help today, gentlemen. That situation could have easily become a dramatic scene.” As they began to deny any great effect on their part. “But, I must warn you,” the Stewardess continued, “Please do not use the infestation protocol like that again. This plane will need to be taken off-line for decontamination.”

They both nodded at that, chastened; and the Stewardess smiled. “And, unofficially? She’s a well-known problem. There’s a lot of cabin crew who will want to buy you gentlemen drinks, if you happen to be staying at the International Hotel.”

Magenta smiled, “Unfortunately not, but hopefully, she will be more considerate the next time she flies.”

“It can be but hoped. You gentlemen have a good day, and please remember us the next time you fly the friendly skies.”

Ochre grinned. “We won’t be forgetting you any time soon, you enjoy your day, too.”

They departed the plane and, collecting their checked luggage, started heading out to the main concourse. “So how did you know to do that?”

Magenta grinned. “The ‘infestation protocol’? You need to spend more time with the girls. Melody was just talking about a lawsuit that particular airline just got hit with because some runway model or another got an infested from contamination on the seat. Apparently it went all around the Paris fashion show she was to work at and it all got ugly. The shower cap is a new policy that a lot of airlines are adopting to try and prevent a repeat.”

“Sneaky,” Ochre said, approvingly.

Magenta shrugged. “The best way to get away with things is to not break the rules,” he said. “You were a cop, you should know that.”

Ochre jabbed him in the ribs. “Cop joke. You owe me coffee.”

Notes:

This is caused by a combination of binge watching documentaries on airplanes, and my brothers two feral kids being allowed to run wild at my parents place, rubbing their heads against everyone, and into all the soft furnishings for three hours, before their mother casually drops that they’ve both got nits and she hasn’t got any products to deal with it.

I’ve been scratching for three days.

[idledearest]

i can just imagine in miss holloween they do enjoy trick or treating but hate the fact that they have to be "child-things" to probably blend in better, to their dismay bc they completely despise and loathe children.

so taking the form of one is nothing but an insult and an offense to their greatness. (especially wiggly, after having to deal with hannah in black friday. pokey against her in yellow jacket)

i also like to imagine they DID try going trick or treating as adults or at least in their mascot forms but that either; the former, got them weird and judgemental looks from parents for thinking these grown ass men are concerningly greedy and rabid for treats and demanding to have it all which lead to them getting doors slammed shut in their faces. queue the gruesome and in-depth death threats and feral shouting from the LiB until they got bored and moved on. of course, pokey, not satisfied, would take it too far, which then got the cops involved and wiggly had to reel him in once again.

or, the latter, traumatised children and gave them nightmares and had the police called on them for causing a public disturbance. which was super fun for them but ultimately didnt get them any goodies in the end. at least they got a "serial killer" mascots hoax thing going on. it's always fun to cause paranoia and fear, especially on halloween.

of course they had to deal with the cops in each scenario but for once, they want no interruptions whatsoever. after all, they're reasonable gentlemen and are keen to a moment of peace.. for themselves only.

so, frustratingly, they had to settle with the typical child trick or treaters schtick. but hey, at least they can get away with causing trouble like property damage and burning shit in halloween because theyre just "innocent kids".

one thing tho is they still definitely sound and talk the same as they usually do, which would be funny just hearing deep, unhinged, abnormal and raspy voices coming from these forms.

❝ REPRIEVE ❞

MONDAY — OCTOBER 31 — 6:43AM

JASON WAS THE ONE WHO CARRIED ASTEN OUT.

Bentley’s day, from Asten’s death onward, was split into pieces. Some he remembered, some he didn’t.

When he snapped back into reality for the hundredth time, he wasn’t sure how much time had passed, but the sun was higher, and most of the parents and students had gone. 

Now all that was left was him and Bruce, sitting in the ambulance, Rockie (whom Dick was still holding, both of them seated on the pavement against the fountain.), Valor and Bellamy in a nearby ambulance, Vera and her brother across the way, Summer and her aunt, and a few straggler students that didn’t really have anywhere else to go. Plus what had to be hundreds of police and officials.

Koa and Artimi had left the school with muted goodbyes. Bentley had still been crying then. He didn’t remember much of it, but he was pretty sure Bruce had even put him down for the interaction. He remembered hugging Koa. And he remembered hugging Artimi, too — a thank you for saving Koa’s life. But he couldn’t remember any of the words they said.

Layla’s parents had taken her without a trace. So had Chloe’s. Varian had been whisked off in an ambulance as soon as his parents had gotten there, with no time for goodbyes. 

After saying goodbye to Koa, Bruce had settled into the back of the ambulance with Bentley sitting, pressed against his side. He had politely declined the police trying to speak to Bentley about six or seven times, and had even done it twice for Valor and Bellamy, too. Bentley had also spotted Dick waving cops away from himself and Rockie on multiple occasions.

Now, Bentley was back to just sitting. Tucked away under Bruce’s arm, in a painful, painful silence.

And that’s exactly how he was sitting when Jason carried Asten’s body out of the Aristotle building.

He had his Red Hood helmet on again. Bentley didn’t even comprehend that, though — he was only looking at Asten, at his limp, pale frame, solid red with blood and completely lifeless. Jason laid him down on the grass.

Bruce reached over, ran his fingers through Bentley’s hair. It didn’t occur to him at the time that he was trying to cover his eyes.

Bentley didn’t feel or hear or see anything until someone screamed.

It was Summer.

Bentley pushed Bruce’s arm away just enough to catch sight of her thumping onto her knees on the grass next to Asten’s body, which Jason still couldn’t bring himself to get more than three feet away from. He just stood, off to the side, watching as Summer’s small hands gently prodded several different locations across his body. “No! I thought everybody was… I… I thought…”

Bentley wasn’t exactly sure who she was talking to. Maybe she didn’t know, either.

Bentley entered another unidentifiable amount of time that his mind blanked out.

When he came back, the sun had shifted slightly above them, and Summer’s aunt, the Dean, was trying to pry her away from Asten’s body.

Summer had managed to get her hands and sleeves stained completely with blood in the short (or long?) time she’d been over there. She was crying now, hard and inconsolably. Bentley remembered the Secret Keeper mocking how badly she wanted to save everybody.

As though it were a queue, a gaggle of police, maybe five of them, came out of the Aristotle building with someone in the middle of the group, handcuffed and being dragged along willingly toward a cruiser.

Charlie.

She made brief eye contact with Bentley as she walked by. Though her eyes weren’t pleading or afraid like he’d expected, but peaceful. Content. Like she believed, with her whole heart, that she fully deserved whatever punishment she were to receive. She smiled at Bentley. Faintly, just as one of the officers shoved her roughly in the cruiser.

Bentley didn’t smile back.

Titus warped into view with a woman at his arm; a tall woman with long, dark hair. She ran over to the ambulance Vera and Noah were in.

Summer still wouldn’t let herself be pried from Asten’s corpse.

Her aunt had given up trying, and was now standing off to the side as Jason took over. 

He knelt down next to her. Bentley couldn’t hear what he said; it was low, and soft, and distorted by the helmet. But he did hear Summer’s response.

“No,”

That was all she said, but it spoke volumes. It seemed to cut through the air even if it was soft, layered with things like grief and hopelessness and determination. Determination to raise the dead? Bentley would’ve snickered, if he weren’t so… empty.

“No,” She continued with a quiet sob, shaking her head, looking back down at Asten. “No. We all have to make it. We have to. We were so close…”

Summer’s aunt, the Dean, approached again on her other side, grabbing her shoulder in a bid to tug her away. The woman was crying, too, despite never seeing Asten but from a distance, since their tour of the school.

Jason backed away as the woman tried, again, to pull Summer away. Summer fought back, pushing onto her feet and digging her heels in. “No!”

“Summer,” The Dean begged, continuing to tug. “Please.”

“No! Stop! We all have to survive! We have to!” Summer started to shout, trying to jerk her arm away from her aunt. “Stop it! Let go of me!”

“Summer…”

“No! Stop! Get off!” She shouted. She looked backwards at her aunt, and her irises were glowing… gold. Bentley had never seen her eyes glow before. “Let go of me!”

“Summer, please,”

With one harsh jerk and a shrill shout of: “No!” Summer wrenched her arm from her aunt’s grip so hard that she fell forward, thudding back onto her knees next to Asten’s body.

As soon as her knees hit the dirt, a shockwave like that of a bomb erupted into existence with her as the epicenter. The wave of power, almost invisible but slightly yellow-y gold, roared past them like a great wind. Thousands of leaves were blown right off the willow trees. The force of the energy rumbled the ground, dust falling from the stone of the campus buildings, the cars and ambulances all getting shoved away from her by the power. Bruce grabbed onto Bentley when the vehicle shifted.

Bentley blinked. When the rush of gold energy gusted past him, nudging the ambulance he was sitting in, he felt… better. Not so close to death. Like he’d just woken up from a long awaited sleep, in a hospital with an IV that had been giving him fluids for hours.

Everyone silenced, turning to look at Summer, at each other. Bentley met Vera’s eyes from across the courtyard. Everything had fallen silent, and all he could hear was his own bated breathing.

Asten suddenly coughed up blood.

Hi, I hope you're doing great, and I hope this isn't weird but you seem to really hate season 3's ending, and I was wondering why cause personally I've always liked it.

i'm doing well enough !!! XD thanks and i hope you are too!!

I'm sorry to report that it is almost entirely irrational.

when it comes to theming its a conclusion that underlines the necessity of VILE being uncovered for the villains they are to the world when they've been so successfully in the shadows so far and the imminent undeniability of Carmen's own goodness in the coming season going along with the mask themes of that seasons: RIP THE MASK OFF TO REVEAL WHATS INSIDE! [darkest part music plays]

timeline wise its the second proof needed for Chase to completely confirm what Carmen let him know, that she is on the side fighting against people like roundabout and thus someone he needs to help not chase*(ha) around and make her life harder

fun tidbits wise: one of the all time shadowsan moments where he just dwarves whatever ego roundabout has in his abilities with his own experience " i was yakuza", zack and ivy in mustaches, carmen going sorry mate when she steals from le chevre, and gray being the ending note <3333 [my squishy fave i love him made me so happy to get that crumb in the gray desert that was s3] AND CARMEN IN GREEN AND BLUE AND SUNGLASSES AND LOCKPICKING!

hero win wise it actually is a big deal that its not just hurting their wallets and neutralizing their malicious deeds that she accomplishes this time, its taking out their tool for allowing them to bounce right back into the real world like weeds

looks wise i think it might be in the upper half of the series for me

but...

very funny to note that you sent this when my queue had spit out my trap gifset! /because lowkey thats probably the cause of my irritation

there is a constant enough through-line in the show about traps and being captured that happens often enough in the series that it caught my attention.

usually the mention of a trap is more to emphasize carmen's own daring and altruism as it doesn't matter if its a trap because there's something more important at stake so i don't pay it more mind than that-> Carmen will go because its worth fighting against any odds to do whats right

and it isn't like carmen is infallible shown by how many times she has been in genuine danger by getting trapped by VILE because she's outnumbered, outmatched, or her own caring is her undoing, this actually just happens in normal missions more often [with the brunt trap being the bigger outlier in the moment with roudabout SUPPOSEDLY THE NEXT...the actual next time is during julia's rescue for a little]

so. Odds CAN be stacked against her and sometimes it might be too much for her [see even within this season where lupe helps her with brunt and sonia helps her escape spintrap]

so then roundabout's case come up with the mwahaha we shall bait her ! and its another trap that carmen puts herself into for the greater good of keeping VILE from getting more money while roudabout thinks of the pomp of what is being stolen but makes it out because of her team and...thats...hmmm idk how to explain it

the episode tees a little bit into "wow what IF this trap was too much for Carmen" in the beginning for me before revealing there isn't actually any stakes , its a run of the mill carmen always had control of the situation so roundabout wasn't even competent enough to give her little trouble.

the worst thing was just probably the shock from the cop for speaking out of turn and like that's more the cop than roundabout

it does a good season finale job of THE POLICE FORCE GETS INVOLVED! THE IMPOSSIBLE MISSION! THE HELICOPTERS SURROUND AND THE FIREWORKS HAIL ITS END!!!! aaaaaaand...i know. i know that man isn't just ineffective but nuclear ineffective.

...GAH the episode where she got electrocuted and nearly flown over to VILE by spintrap because a one shot villain got to her was in this very season...Brunt marching herself down to show how helpless carmen COULD be if she hadn't had help was in this season...

i didn't even really care about the trap thing never super bearing any fruit during the series usually [again its more to highlight her heroic nature than be a threat and im ok with our main character of course surviving to steal another day instead] BUT it is a finale so - and then

in the end i just find myself bored and irritated by roundabout being played for the cheap kazoo he is for a season finale to appreciate all the good the episode does for the overall narrative

like shadowsan may have rescued her in s1 but Brunt WAS too much for Carmen alone and the shock of the near death hug was effective for me as a finale for bringing a new challenge and then a new ally for Carmen while teein up the next season

gah...he's also the last candidate for the faculty promotion before they just vote in a brainwashed carmen...hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

it has a lot of fun flash moments and carries the plot as admirably as the writing team has revealed themselves to be capable of doing, the animation remains beautiful and the theming is really fun to pick at and if i remember to start s4 before i quit for the day so i can keep following the unmasking true intentions theme i swallow it down better...

but 😫😫😫😫😫 sorry no matter how many times i give myself the "you're being unreasonable about this" speech i get angry during it BECAUSE its a finale and its the first time i'd felt asked to consider the word trap more seriously only to go nvm treat it like you always did ...and i was likeBOOOO I WOULDVE DONE THAT IF YOU JUST BOTHERED TO PUT THE CARMEN EXPLANATION WHERE IT WAS INSTEAD OF SMUGLY PULLING IT OUT LATER TO PUT ROUNDABOUT DOWN LIKE IDGAF ABOUT SHAKING HIS EGO DOWN I BARELY KNOW HIM

....

and the situation WAS going to be maybe too much for carmen if she hadn't worked with her team as effectively as she did

like a bait and switch [carmen overwhelmed alone recklessly trying to protect something from VILE bait switching to the solid power of having a cool team red who knew what they were doing]

i really wish i could appreciate more that zack, ivy, and shadowsan were all in on the plan vs s1 where he unceremoniously revealed himself and salvaged carmen's rescue plan [and save her] and s2 where carmen went recklessly to VILE isle while only letting zack and ivy in enough to know they needed to drive her to VILE isle

[and mind you i TRIED to appreciate that the dialogue isn't actually clunky and super playing to the audience to hide the reveal that "her being captured isn't a big deal" OK LIKE IT TECHNICALLY SHOULD GIVE ME ROOM TO PAY ATTENTION INSTEAD TO THE EVERYTHING ELSE, they didn't make a whole circus of deceiving the audience and yet even the mild song and dance they must do to deceive rounadbout!!! grr!!]

I REALLY WISH I DID APPRECIATE ALL THAT!!! but 😖😖😖😫im so mad i don't actually like that trope at all the structuring frustrates the hell out of me. watching carmen walk into the room and auto fail to be arrested has no bite for me since its just a little farce to keep him quiet and keeps me from eating the rest of the deliciousness the episode has to offer, i'm zoning out as shadowsan explains what they actually did this caper...

and as a finale the other half to the reoccuring pattern in cs structure is not there

....yet

but if i make sure to start s4 asap i can recognize it as as the trap ineffective but carmen isn't invulnerable theme halved because the s4 final batch of 3 episodes is the follow up where carmen just straight up gets kidnapped while she was chilling by the cleaners

->not untouchable

...im doing my best to clear the feeling , i just need like 7 more watches T.T and more chalking up the positives in my heart

like if i watch the gray selfie scene more there will only be love and peace on earth, if i take out my little cardboard sign to cheer for shadowsan to rarara home team maybe...

TLDR:

ITS SIMPLY IRRATIONAL DISTASTE IN MY HEART! SHADOWSAN UNVEILING THE REAAAAAL PLAN AT ROUNDABOUT BORES ME!!! THE ACTUAL CAPER PART OF THE CAPER IS NOT INTERESTING TO ME SO WELP!

i wish i had a better reason but i just do not have a good time with it <3

:D i'm glad you like it tho, whats most fun for you about it?

[dzthenerd490]

Its been a year since I requested anything :), but since its 2025 and women are supposed to be able to have sex with robots this year why some more robot love.

The Matrix - I know you already have TRON.

Detroit become Human (2018) - Despite my grievances with the story. I still think it could be interesting.

Robo-Cop (1987) Looks like all the best robots live in Detroit.

The Iron Giant (1999) - Love this movie.

I HAVE NO MOUTH AND I MUST SCREAM (1967) - This is the evil version of 079.

Electric Dreams (1984) - Now this is why 079 could be a force for good. Also shoutout to this artist for making lovely artwork.

Chopping Mall (1986) - I'm realizing that the horror movie files au is currently lacking horror movies right now.

Ghost in the Shell (1995)- I don't know. I haven't watched the movie yet.

The Matrix - I've actually been thinking of making a file like this for a while now but I just can't seem to make a concrete idea that doesn't sound terrible. I'll keep trying thought, for now just think of it as if it was on the queue.

Detroit Become Human - ... No. I will do stories that have a similar premise but never one relating directly to that game.

Robo-Cop - ... I'll see what I can do. Maybe making him another horrible Idea of PENTAGRAM or perhaps an agent of the Global Occult Coalition. One or the other.

The Iron Giant - Oh yeah someone requested that one a while back. Still working on it though and overall deciding how to make the tale since there's no way I can make a file without also making a tale. P.S. it will include the Autobots and you can't change my mind.

I have no voice and I must scream - Hmph, Hmph... HMPH! Alright fine! I really hated that book but fine I'll do it. BUT I'll have to make it so that the Foundation contained the AM's before they did anything in the books. Also, since their underground I might make them somehow fight SCP-AMZ instances or something else completely insane. We'll see. Also, SCP-079 is already evil, he's just too nice to make it obvious.

Electric Dreams - Nope, sorry not doing it.

Chopping Mall - Holy shit now that sounds amazing. I could even involve Anderson Robotics since I've been neglecting that Group of Interest (as well as many others) far too often.

Ghost in the Shell - No, just no.

Ship moodboard for Lucifer Morningstar kin x Chloe Decker from DC's Lucifer show

Theming: Devils Don't Fly by Natalia Kills, feeling worthless, wanting to change for her sake, not because I'm/he's worth it, God Hating/rebellion against religion, Take Me to Church by Hozier, bound by fate.

Details for if you don't know the source, semi-relevant: Chloe is a cop/detective, she is a single mother. Her ex and father of her child is also a cop. I (Lucifer) own a club, have the worst relationship with my father (God) and my twin (Michael/Mikael) and good but weird relationship with my brother Amenadiel. I help Chloe solve murder cases. Sometimes my family comes in and fcks things up. Mostly personal relationships... Chloe was made by my father to love me, and we struggle to find a way to love each other that isn't tainted by God's touch. Also I love Chloe's kid very much, but am not a huge part in raising her. I am in her life and she does affect our relationship.

Hi, sorry for the wait! This is in the queue!

[jellimac-sims-stories]

you are really gonna need to sit down with a drink for this drama

Because I'm taking a break from Ellie, I thought I'd go round out Victoria's character. She started out as a clean girl, celebrity actress, but became more of a player, OnlySims model. She's one of Barbie's friends but there is a bit of drama about her relationship with them.

Obviously, she's sleeping with Ken. She's also Lisha's husband Josh's childhood ex-girlfriend. Josh and Ken have a weird relationship because of that. Based on the weird texts that Kumiko sends, they're incredibly hot and cold, I'm gonna go with she knows about all of this but hasn't told Barbie or Lisha because she's sleeping with Ken too.

Victoria is also a drug addict ... Listen just strap in. Everything that has happened while I was playing her household has been so dramatic! I'm just gonna make a list.

Victoria got pregnant by Sergio Romeo

I tried to get her to miscarry but it didn't work

I had her just ask Sergio about expanding the family but he wasn't interested probably because he hates kids

Funny thing is, when I went to their house to make it nicer since Victoria has been spending time there (Joaquin is her drug dealer and she and Sergio have become a thing) they both have multiple kids by multiple women! WHAT!

Victoria didn't like that conversation so I had her go in a bender, get plastic surgery, get some tattoos, and unbaby herself the way that costs simoleons.

Sergio got arrested for taking drugs. That was a first for me. He's fine. It looked like he slipped away from the cop.

Later unsafe Victoria activities aka making love in this club (queue Usher) left her babied again. I swear she's on BC. WTF!

This time she miscarried. She was sad about something else. Drugs make her happy so I had her take some that were conveniently powered, in line off of her sink and it happened. I missed whatever the animation was. I was watching Fast 9. I looked away and all of a sudden there was blood on the floor.

It was Ken's baby this time. It took forever for Barbie to get pregnant. Ken has gotten Kumiko, Ellie, and Victoria pregnant at least once each. Why did it take so long for Barbie to get pregnant?!

Because of ALL of this going on I decide Victoria also should have an ED and not have a good relationship with how she feels about how she looks.

Yeah Victoria is not good

This is chapter 4! I haven't posted the rest on this blog and I deleted them off my main so over the next few days I'll queue them up and link them to each other.

You can read here on AO3!

It's a little under 5000 words so most of its under a cut.

Confessions.

Not traditionally a good time and confession time with John was trending the same way. Unfortunate. Melody had genuinely hoped this 5 day stay in the bunker would be a bit of fun at least some of the time.

At least there hadn't been torture!

It was the third day of the promised five and despite John's earlier promise that he'd take her to his ranch on the second day and the resistances promises to stand down until the allotted time was through there had been extra patrols on the roads and he'd decided they would stay underground.

It wasn't awful. A lie. Told to herself for no-ones benefit. It was gross down here. It was dingy, the fluorescent lighting didn't reach all the corners. There were constantly sermons being played quietly in the background. Melody hated that some of them made perfect sense. Hopefully that didn't come up during confession.

The first night she'd seduced herself a reprieve. The second day had been fairly casual. She was left in her room for most of it. Marched, with escort, to lunch where she felt eyes burning into her from every direction but every time she looked up no-one would meet her eye. Then after lunch it was confession but not for her. She was taken to a room full of pews with John at the front standing not quite at the centre of a stage. One by one the cultists approached and confessed their, mostly small, indiscretions. John listened and thanked them for their openness then send them on their way. A few confessed less minor sins and were sent into a corner to wait. Once the line of sinning sinners confessed their sins those in the corner were gathered and taken to John's definitely not a murder dungeon and tattooed. 2 greeds, 3 wraths (1 of which had been caused by her personally Melody had observed) and a singular envy.

It would have been dark outside by the time all that was done and Melody was feeling restless. Weeks of running through the county rescuing folks and being a nuisance had got her used to a much higher level of activity than she was getting here. And John insisted their "arrangement" be put on hold til she had confessed and atoned and there was apparently no time for that today so she was marched off to her room for bed.

But now it was her time to confess. She'd run through it in her head, what she could say, how she could spin this to her advantage but as she sat in the dungeon under the piercing gaze of the Baptist all her planning escaped her.

Melody tucked her foot up onto the chair trying to seem unbothered. Growing up with a strict religious mother and a rebellious streak a mile wide had made her a convincing liar in an interrogation but John had said nothing in what felt like an hour.

Calm. Collected. In control. This was my idea. My idea and if it goes wrong no-one will ever let me live it down.

She fixed his eyes with her own. If I live to never live it down.... Shut up.

His silence continues. Good fucking god, even knowing this is an interrogation tactic doesn't help.

"So. How exactly do we do this? How far back do we go? Cause I did a lot of confession in my teens and I don't think I should need to go back over that."

10/10! Great job silence keeping! Great job keeping silent? I think that's a better sentence structure. What the fuck why is he STILL not talking?

The silence stretched on for a small eternity before Melody broke, "I never wanted to be a cop. I didn't want to work for the Sheriff. I didn't even want to move to Montana. I was running away from my failed career and another failed relationship and this girl I hooked up with in Seattle had told me all about how she'd changed her life by moving to Leavenworth to be a cop with the county sheriffs department there and how nothing ever happened there and the quiet small town life was so fucking perfect and I was flailing in my life and quiet and perfect sounded perfect and applications had just opened so I applied and was accepted and then I did 6 months of training and then took a job out here and 3 days later all this," she waved her hands around the room like it explained anything, "this bullshit happened. 3 days. No-one in the fucking county even knows my name. You know they all just call me Deputy right? And they pretend it's a sign of, I dunno, respect? For my position? But I know. I know they don't know. I know they don't care who I am. About me. It's all just what I can do for them. What I can get for them or who I can save or even worse who I should fucking kill for them. I'd never killed anyone before this. I hadn't even shot an animal. You know I put an arrow right through some guys eye last week. It went right out the other side of his skull! And no-one says thank you or please or even asks if I'm okay? And I'm not fucking okay."

Her fingers drummed a manic rhythm on the arm of her chair, "It's absolutely insane. All of it. They demand this loyalty than they haven't earned. They're. So. Fucking. Self. Righteous!" She was yelling now, entirely unaware of herself, weeks of pent up frustrations rushing out. "On the other side are you and you brothers and your sister. Hunting me through the fucking scenery? 'oh but we don't want to hurt you, we just want to talk!' I have almost died a hundred times since this started! Have you picked up that I've lost track of time? I have to call this this cause I have. No. Idea. How long it's been. And I'm exhausted! The most rest I get is when I'm taking naps in houses with bullet holes in the walls! The worst part of all of this is that when I'm honest with myself it's not like you don't make a bit of sense! The world really is a giant ball of shit filled with shitty people and shitty governments and shitty fucking shit! But that doesn't give you all the right to act the way you are either!!! Kidnapping? Blissing up the rivers? The reaping? That's some fucking movie villain strategy naming. God, I'm so angry..."

"Wrath."

John had finally spoken and Melody had been so caught up by her own emotions she'd barely caught the word.

"What?"

"Your sin is wrath. It drives you. Every thought, every action."

It was Melodys turn to be silent. That almost never happens...

"Sin must be exposed so it can be absolved, if we hide our sin we hide ourselves. You will not hide any longer," John crossed the room to where Melody still sat in the chair with one leg tucked under her and the other hugged tight to her chest. "Feet on the floor."

"What?" Oh nice. I sound like a broken record.

"Put your feet on the floor." She obeyed.

"Confession is an admission of one’s sins Melody. Our souls need to confess. Now that you've confessed your sin I will etch it on to your flesh. You will carry its burden and display it for all to see and when you have endured, when you have truly begun to atone we will cut it out like a cancer."

He adjusted the light on the little table next to her then started setting up his tattoo machine, "Now, unbutton your shirt."

She obeyed again and shrugged it halfway down her shoulders. John buzzed the machine then set it down and grabbed a sponge. He didn't lift his eyes from her as he wiped then dried her chest.

"John... What are you doing?"

He looked up, "This was the agreement. 5 days here with me. You confess, you're marked, you go free."

"I. Uh. Remember agreeing to the time... I don't recall a tattoo being part of it."

"Are you reneging on the deal?" he took a step back looking... Peeved. He looks peeved.

She reached a hand out toward him, "Yes. No. I. Just wasn't fully prepared for this kind of commitment. Today."

John ignored the extended hand. "John. Please, I added an extra day down here, of my own free will, to keep the peace in the valley for longer. I'm doing what I can. I'm just scared."

"There's no need to be afraid, I'll talk you through it," he knelt and pulled Melodys still outstretched hand to his chest. "You just have to say yes."

Melody nodded.

"Out loud. Say it."

"Yes."

"Good." He kissed her hand before releasing to pick up his tattoo machine, "Just relax."

As the machine hummed to life and John settled into his work Melody tried to relax back in the chair as she listened to him speak.

"My parents were the first ones to teach me about the power of yes..."

I've been thinking of the "Can Granny Weatherwax beat Bugs Bunny" question and this is my full take for Discworld characters:

Vimes - Cares too much, too easy to piss off. Has the innate chase instinct that makes characters run into walls with realistic tunnels painted on them. Might get to arrest Bugs Bunny but the beast will just slip out of the handcuffs to help him lock them, then walk out of the jail cell to have a union mandated coffee break.

Ridcully - Classic hunting season scenario, but has enough charisma to probably still get a few good shots off before the inevitable.

Rest of the wizards - No survivors, only Bugs.

Carrot - The intense near-magical narrative aura of well meaning innocence should make him immune, Bugs will likely be forced to be the villain of the episode.

Lord Vetinari - Flattened by a comically large anvil in the first few minutes of the episode, unclear if it was all a part of his long term strategy or not.

Moist - Has the 'lovable trickster getting away with it' energy, but nowhere near Bugs level. Already fell for the "old lady who swallowed a fly" scenario with the stamp slugs once, won't fare any better here.

Death - Definitely one of those "character is trying to avoid death" episodes, would go back and forth. Might actually get to end Bugs but his spirit will reappear in Death's domain and ruin his garden.

Nanny Ogg - The ultimate in anti-Bugs technology, a gleefully annoying old lady who doesn't give a fuck and definitely won't be the first to instigate the plot bearing conflict. This is a full sweep, he's the episode antagonist.

Granny Weatherwax - Too win-motivated to not lose. Would have to break the story to have any chance. Might do it.

Magrat - Will have sappy ideas about helping the poor animal which honestly has the 50:50 chance of either getting slapsticked or Bugs ending in a ye olde stroller&pacifier gag.

Colon&Nobby - Designed in a lab to be totaled by Bugs Bunny.

Tiffany Aching - A child that also has a large pan that is the perfect thing to hit someone over the head with and make a BOIOIOINGGG sound, so great odds.
