Hey wanna hear about my oc?

warning, insane rambling that may or may not be coherent, and very long, and possibly bad character design

word count: 978 (so not that long now that i saw the numbers)

So like ive been thinking about this lil guy / gal / nonbinary pal for about 3 days and i LOVE this OC,

BTW ive been using a base template for their bodies since I'm still learning anatomy and stuff, the only thing i did was the clothes, here's the base for credit (TYSM to the person who made the base) https://www.deviantart.com/battlestorm/art/Character-Bases-1-446827976

So this is Jinx, my OC, they live in a world where like, superpowers and stuff,

Jinx is genderfluid and he can shapeshift at will (wow, sana all) (also I've been thinking that maybe she can copy powers as well, so like they can be a copycat kinda guy?), Jinx has a twin brother Aegis,

Jinx stuff (idk what to call it):

-He's a troublemaker

-really loves candy

(edit: Real name no longer Casey, thought too much about Caseys civilian life and now they're a separate person)

-allergic to birds (everytime she sneezes their hair and eyes changes color)

-eye color is purple and gold (idk how to make faces so that's why they don't have a face DX)

-since hes a troublemaker and childish it often leads to them being underestimated, she uses this to their advantage

-usually wears glasses but uses their shapeshifting to make their eyesight better

-their an anti-hero, and a chaotic one at that, they switch sides whenever they want, they can be a villain one day, a hero the next, or just annoying to both sides

-his weapons are harmless, Jinx doesn't really fancy violence, so she aims to stop his enemies without hurting them (at least fatally) i haven't really decided on one yet, but i do have a list of items

Bolas (she can wrap this around enemy legs)

staff (maybe they can trip enemies?)

Yoyo (just because it looks fun, and maybe he can wrap it around enemies?)

paint gun (yknow, maybe it can glow in the dark and help spot enemies)

I've been thinking on giving Jinx energy drinks so that she can keep his energy up (also because for their backstory I've been thinking that Jinx could be a nurse so she doesn't get much sleep, but idk about the nurse thing, energy drinks yeah)

Purple and Gold rope (he can tie up enemies, plus i think it looks neat, and Jinx can dangle from roofs surprising people, which fits with hercharacter,)

he could just straight up go empty-handed, just using their charm to win (like baiting enemies to traps)

gun maybe like marbles to make enemies slip?

Then again i can make it so that Jinx has all of this, but like, their weapons change like their gender, like one day she can use Bolas, and another they use a staff

also, im gonna be honest, Jinx is kindaaa a self-insert, Jinx is like, someone who i want to be and stuff (like dang i wish i had shapeshifting)

Now lemme talk about their DESIGN, cause that's what i want to show off the most

again here is the base I used

This is their Non binary design, for Jinxs overall design i wanted to make like, something that kids like i guess? Like Candy, Space Arcades, etc. for this design i used like, an arcade floor for their jacket, same with the gloves

then i used paint for their pants, their boots uhh, i didn't really think much of the boots, this is also the first design i made, (kinda why the other two are much better)

also, this is a reference that Jinx like games and stuff,

i split it with black and white to like, show off that they're split between hero and villain, good and bad, (insert other stuff like that)

this is also the form Jinx frequents the most,

this is Jinxs girl design, i wanted to make her design candy and sweet food related, at first i wanted to do cotton candy, then it spiraled into this,

so shes split between chocolate and strawberry, (kinda like black and white), I'm gonna admit that i took inspiration from Vanellope von Schweetz in her sprinkle hair design,, and you'll see that her shoes kinda have like a drip thing on it, i was inspired by donuts for the shoes,

true to her trickster nature, whenever Jinx is a girl, if someone tries to fight her, she tries to pull out the "you wouldn't hit a woman, would you?" card (i think its just a funny little gag lmao [oh! and maybe whenever they're wearing glasses they would pull the "you wouldn't hit a guy with glasses would you?" {proceeds to hit a guy WITH glasses /ref}])

this is also kinda like a reference that Jinx really likes candy and sweet stuff

this is the guy design of Jinx. so like, a lot of us had a space phase when we were kids so yeah (also, most of us probably cried at the fact the sun would explode in 5 million years)

I spent SO LONG thinking what his design should be and this is what i got,

so like i made his design looke floaty (??? as in like, it looks like he's floating ig), so he has these thick boots that look like its keeping him down, his hair looks like its floating

then the space design, is it sad that the thing im most proud of is his shoelaces? like the fade and stuff!!! Very cool!!!

the nebula design on his jacket, pants and gloves I'm okay with, but it doesn't really fit his other designs, but i like it,

his shoes have an okay design, like the black shoe with stars i really like, the one with moons, not so much

anyways ill probably continue this when i remember anything else, and maybe if i want to ramble on about more OC's i have, see you guys next episode!!

#my ocs #OC #oc art #does this count as OC art actually?#meh #ill worry about that later #also if your wondering what Jinxs Biological gender is #aka what they were born as #they been shapeshifting ever since they were born #so theres no answer #Jinx Hawkthorne (OC)#Shae's OC

Hii I’d love to hear more about the nayuta plot point!!! I genuinely love ur self inserts lore 😭 I’m someone who also has plot points and very like detailed lore for my own s/i and I’m v interested in others’ as well :P

HAII AGAIN ANON ^^!!!!! WHEHE IM HAPPY U LIKE HER LORE !!! Even tho I have . Not really told much about it (because she has even MORE but I'm working on writing it all out coherently)

SO!! That Nayuta plot point :3c Well usually/canonically, since Gabi was in part 1 and stayed w// Denji at the end of Part 1, she met Nayuta w// Denji, so she and Nayuta bond ☆

In this case, then, Nayuta sees Gabi as like an older sister!!! But like that sort of older sister who's really more like a mom than anything (which also means she's fine w/ Gabi being affectionate with Denji :3c EVEN THO SOMETIMES SHE GETS JEALOUS OF DENJI [she wants Gabi hugs too >:/])

But in the case of Gabi only being present in part two (in that sort of AU), its.. a little more tricky. Because Nayuta is very protective and possessive over Denji so normally I feel like she wouldn't be cool with GabiDen :< So the only thing I could think of was giving Gabi and Nayuta a previous sort of connection, but how was I supposed to do that ??

Sooo I kindaaa,,, took some liberty with this AU and changed some things about the timing of Nayuta appearing on earth / where she appeared.

So for this AU, I wanna say the time between when Nayuta reincarnated on earth and when she was brought to Denji was maybe 4-5 months? Where she reincarnated sometime in April and Kishibe brought her to Denji in August/September. And instead of showing up in China, she shows up in America. I remember mentioning the whole thing with Gabi going back to America for a sort of "spin-off" (which isn't really a spin off but again that's a whole other can of worms) in the normal canon, but Part 2 Only!Gabi does that too. Difference is that because she's not involved in the part 1 plot, she does that a little earlier.

Which!!! Gives her the opportunity!!! To run into Nayuta during her time in America. She just runs into this homeless looking child and goes ○□○! And she takes her in!! Because why wouldn't she? And during the time they spend together in America, Nayuta gets a taste of love !!! Real familial love!!! The type that makes her feel all warm and safe and it makes her feel all at home when she's with Gabi.

Shenanigans ensue, and eventually Kishibe finds out that Nayuta is in America and is with Gabi, contacts her thru Yoshida (pretty sure I mentioned she and Yoshida are friends??), and takes Nayuta off Gabi's hands. Obviously it's a little more complicated because Gabi doesn't wanna give Nayuta up but she's eventually convinced. Mostly because Gabi's little adventure in America is starting to get kinda dangerous and she doesn't wanna put Nayuta in any danger.

But before Nayuta is taken to Japan Gabi promises her that they'll meet again!! And that she loves Nayuta and that she only wants what's best for her •×• Gives her a lil gift too but I haven't figured out what it was 💭

SO FAST FORWARD A LIL WHILE !!! Asa/Denji/Gabi "hangout" at Denji's place, that whole thing plays out and Yoru smooches Denji, Nayuta comes and does her little thing ☆ And she's about to shoot the chain thing through Gabi's head as well (cause she was nearby lmao) until she pauses and like. Takes a better look at her.

"... Gabi •^•?"

"...NAYUTA Ó□Ò💧!?!?"

And just like that Gabi gets a free pass from being turned into a dog. Well OBVIOSULY yk there's like... Some sort of explanation from Gabi (to Denji who is so confused because how does the cute girl from school know his little sister figure?) - and it definitely helps that Gabi wasn't the one to actually kiss Denji - but in the end Gabi sort of gets spared from that fate =×= although Nayuta gets like. Really super clingy and tells Gabi she can't leave but. That gets resolved and Gabi gets to leave.

Although even if Nayuta did do that funny little chain thing, it wouldn't actually work because of Gabi's "contract" she made with Wishi, which sort of makes her immune to mental devil attacks? Like she can totally be attacked physically but mental attacks just kinda bounce off. But do they know this? No !!! Not really !!!

... am I making sense? I feel like I've just been rambling all silly like 😵‍💫 BUT IM J REALLY PASSIONATE AND ALSO NOT GOOD AT EXPLAINING!... But I'm happy you like her lore anon 🫶🏽 Yk if you ever wanna share your inserts lore, well,,, I think I'd be really interested :0!!!

#self ship #selfship #you ask; wishi answers #self insert #HAIII AGAIN ANON THANK UUU FOR THE QUESTION ♡♡♡#always love talking about. LORE!!!!#I wrote this all out on tumblr but then had to copy and paste all of it individually bc i accidentally put a poll on the og and idk how to #delete it :((( SAD oh well #tbh now that i mentioned her here i might as well officially make her a plat/fam f/o right #⛓️🎯 nayuta [little sister f/o]#slayed☆

YES MAN!!!!! OR BENNY!!! is there anything that spade does that started bleeding over into what you do...or vice versa...have you guys rubbed off on each other (- @axellis)

(@axellis thankyou:)) )

📺."Ooh, there's a question! Well, I mean, a lot of stuff Spade does I kindaaa... Can't. Being a giant robot and all! It makes me feel really strange to admit this, but I guess I find eating just fascinating! Spade actually showed me how to cook— so I guess you could say I picked that up from them!"

📺."In terms of her picking up my traits? Spade really took on the little things! You know, Securitron claws are so much different from human hands, but we tap our fingers the same way! Pretty cute, huh? I'm preeeetty sure they're also picking up some of my speech patterns! Neat!"

🎰."Aw, sure that cat and I've rubbed of on each other! Pussycat doesn't even realize what she's doin' half the time, but I can recognize my moves everywhere, dig? Maybe they don't realize it, but its in the way she walks, see? Saunters just like the ben-man! Maybe not all the time, sure, but it's a real gas to see when it happens."

🎰."As for me? I wouldn't mind picking up any of her traits— I like their clyde, and I mean it! Though I think right now all pussycat's given me is a real incentive to change out of this beetle of a suit from time to time. Hey, I love it, sure, but the look on her face when I show up in anything different? Can't put a price on that!"

#yayy thank you saintI HOPE BENNY EXPLODES. yayyyyy thank you i love yes man :))#daisy.txt #moot tag #saint/halliday #🎰.benny #📺.yesman #f/ovember

omg thank you for answering. i thought it got lost but i know sometimes it just takes a bit lol. :,)

i thought about it a bit more, and i have another branch of the au/hc/whatever the hell this is.

jimmy, when hes possessing ghost, has red eyes that match his form when hes outside of ghosts body. gavin knows when jimmys possessing ghost, however toast just sees ghost being murderous and goes "ah... hes overly stressed again... perhaps he needs his calming tea ^-^"

when they DO get together, gavin and jimmy agree that itd be kinda weird if they kissed while jimmy was inhabiting ghosts body, so they just have to deal with gavin only feeling a weird pressure on his lips when jimmy kisses him. (like jello...)

also, toast and ghost decide one day to check out an old abandoned house in the middle of nowhere, and... ghost breaks down, because thats where he used to live. yknow... gregory casket. jimmy, instead of immediately possessing him, just... watches. he evaluates some things.

and realizes his demonic urge to kill and destroy has faded. just a tiny bit. hes become... more human. it disgusts him.

(ofc they calm ghost down and ghost comments on how he didnt black out that time. jimmy feels bad about himself because!! hes not supposed to feel sympathy or compassion!!! let alone love!!! ew!! domesticity is gross!! bleh!!)

he complains to gavin about it and they discover that ever since gavin and him have been hanging out more and more, jimmy's power has been... not shrunken, per say, just redirected.

it makes him feel vulnerable.

he lashes out. possesses ghost more often and kills meaningless people with an anger hes only felt once before. it all happens within a week, and he realizes something. it isnt ONLY anger.

its grief.

grief over losing his ability to blindly kill. grief over losing his murderous tendencies. grief over gaining COMPASSION and HUMANITY. grief over falling in love for the first time.

of course he grieves. hes been a serial killer for so long, it makes sense to mourn the changes hes experienced. but at the same time, hed never change a thing.

he goes back to ghosts home in ghosts body, covered in multiple peoples blood. (hes not sure how he got here, but it infuriates him that he can just automatically find it no matter how far)

toast is there, fussing over the host's injuries (since when did ghost get that cut? he... should be more careful) and jimmy... jimmy exits the body, and sobs.

he watches the love toast feels for ghost, and promises one thing to himself: while he cant guarentee he'll never kill again, he can make himself human... for gavin, toast and ghost.

he just needs to figure out how to make himself a host, so that he doesnt hurt the man hes attached himself to (in more ways than one) he WANTS to be apart of humanity. he realizes hes hugging his host when he opens his eyes again, and realizes hes been subtly seeing ghost as his... well, as his brother. it hurts, and hes angry at that conclusion, but hes too tired to deny it. he falls asleep outside of ghosts body for the first time, and finally feels human.

so yeah idk how it sorta turned into a fanfic buuuut i think i like the concept :D if theres any spelling mistakes,,, no theres not,,,, and if its kindaaa ooc then uhm. hmm. well i havent watched vt in atleast 2 years so theres bound to be some mistakes :P

This AU has really become a story and a half! Maybe you could make it into a fic? It sounds like there’s still more that can happen next! ^^

Dw too much about being OOC, I think a fun thing with the medium is that canon is flexible. Plus, you have development from A to B, so I don’t think it’s too inane a concept! Jimmy reconsidering the murder thing and actually feeling is an interesting concept and a good way to defang him as a monster— and admittedly id be lying if i said i haven’t had characters grow as people through introspection in concepts b4 ^^

#taleblr #johnny ghost #jimmy casket #taleblr au #long post #never redeemed Jimmy tho #I did call him a force of nature yesterday so that’s probably why

Any tips for reading Gladiator? I'm a new ATLA and Sokkla fan but kindaaa intimidated by the length of the fic.

... Well. Um. Huh.

Read one chapter a day? Does that feel like helpful advice? xD

Honestly, I don't really know what to advise to anyone who wants to jump into this crazy behemoth of a fic after all this time tbh. People were already daunted by its length when we were around 50 chapters in (or less), I can only imagine how insane it is to get into it now x'D

Maybe I should just give you a few things about the story and themes, how the development works and what the story's structure is like, so you can decide if you want to get into it or not, in the first place? :'D

Gladiator is, as the story summary suggests, a darker AU of ATLA (... admittedly, there are darker ones out there, but it's certainly darker than canon ever was). It's a story where Aang wasn't released from the iceberg when Katara and Sokka found him, in canon. The AU's concept begins from that point, even if there are a few changes beyond that in order to make the story more consistent in a few regards, more exploratory of complex themes the show didn't delve into in other regards... etc, etc.

The consequences seen in a world that wasn't saved by the Avatar on the year of Sozin's Comet's arrival are varied, and many of them are explained in the opening paragraphs of chapter 1. Fire Nation amorality saw Ozai deciding that, due to the practical difficulty in perpetrating genocide on a continent as vast as the Earth Kingdom, he would, instead, enslave the Earth Kingdom's population if they didn't swear fealty to him AND didn't pay the fee to become second-rate Fire Nation citizens, which is a new social position in the Fire Nation (the Honorary Fire Nation Citizenship system) for foreigners who accepted Ozai as their sovereign. Slavery started in the Earth Kingdom, but gradually spread out to the rest of the world, even to the Fire Nation itself: anyone who causes trouble, especially anyone who rubs the Fire Lord the wrong way, can be demoted to slavery as punishment nowadays.

Therefore, in most regards, the world is much worse off than how it was in ATLA's time.

One of the dark creations connected with slavery is, of course, the Fire Nation's new favorite means of entertainment: the Gladiator League. There are actually two different kinds of Gladiator Leagues, the Superior and the Amateur (if the second one can even be called a League, with how poorly structured it is): it's probably self-explanatory, but gladiatorial combat is mostly a matter of providing the Fire Nation people with entertainment in the form of violent combats. It's particularly unsettling in the Amateur League, where fights only end when either fighter (or both, in some cases) dies. The Superior League is more competitive, therefore, death is more incidental and not the sole means to be victorious in combat (there's time limits, and there's knocking out the opponent, too).

In the Superior League, each gladiator has a sponsor. These sponsors are in charge of the more administrative and political side of their personal fighter's careers, and they're supposed to ensure their gladiators are in the best possible shape for any of their impending fights. There's a fair number of slaves fighting as Gladiators in the Superior League, but unlike the Amateur one, the Superior League isn't slave-exclusive: there's also actual Fire Nation citizens and Honorary Citizens enrolled as fighters if they want to join in... because the Superior League brings in a lot of money. It's a good way to make a living if you are a good fighter or know someone who is one and needs a sponsor, therefore... as brutal as it can be, the Superior League isn't as dreadful as the Amateur one, even if the gladiators are waaaaaay stronger and scarier there. Amateur League Arenas are typically found in the worst and nastiest Fire Nation villages and towns, called 'crime dens', and they're basically lawless places... so they're yet another dark consequence of a world that wasn't saved by the Avatar at the right time.

If this worldbuilding doesn't put you off so far, then onwards we go to explain what's up with the characters :'D

As a lot of things didn't happen the way they did in canon, Sokka and Katara never left the South Pole because they never found Aang. Zuko continued to roam the seas, failing to pick up even a small sign to point him in the right direction to where the Avatar might be. Toph, being from a rich family, didn't become a slave... but the Gladiator League took over her one hobby, Earth Rumble VI, and assimilated it into an Arena for the Gladiator League. Kyoshi Island was invaded by the Fire Nation in due time, much as most the Earth Kingdom was. Ba Sing Se was conquered through the combination of the Drill, which succeeded in piercing its walls, and Sozin's Comet, which was used mainly to quell resistance in the Earth Kingdom rather than "burn it all to the ground" because the Mechanist, without Sokka, didn't figure out how to create hot-air balloons or armored airships! Therefore, Ozai couldn't have strategized to that end and the destruction in the Earth Kingdom, while successful, unlike in canon, still couldn't be as widespread as canon Ozai wanted it to be.

Thus, all our characters are in different places, with different degrees of development, and part of the appeal (I think) in early Gladiator is actually figuring out where each canon character ended up in this scenario. Even characters who haven't really showed up personally in the story, like Yue, have been strongly affected by Team Avatar's absence, and they've had entirely different outcomes than what happened in canon. So, between the changes the AU already pushed me into making, and the changes I chose for the sake of variety, entertainment, complexity and so on, there's a lot of surprises when it comes to finding out what's up with ATLA's cast in Gladiator. I haven't used EVERY character, but I certainly have repurposed a lot of them, there's even one-time characters who have become major characters in Gladiator (such as Song *wipes tear* she's my pride and joy...), as well as a slew of OCs that, as far as most readers have told me, fit fairly well in the ATLA setting and aren't jarring, in general.

Now then, with Zuko's situation being what it is, the logic that codified Azula's position at the start of Gladiator is that... Ozai never had any need to send Azula to retrieve her brother and uncle, since they didn't betray Ozai openly (in Iroh's case) or failed at capturing the Avatar when he had multiple chances to do so (in Zuko's case). Therefore, Azula had no actual involvement in the lead-up to Sozin's Comet and the conquest of the Earth Kingdom, no matter if she would have been perfectly willing to be involved... so she's not the great conqueror of Ba Sing Se in Gladiator. She, in fact, hasn't achieved anything noteworthy when the story begins and her first-ever mission is a more or less diplomatic, strategic one, taking place in the South Pole, where the Fire Nation has been fighting the local Water Tribe and have succeeded in pushing them back to a point where they could build a Fire Nation settlement in their territory. As they haven't succeeded at overcoming the Water Tribe yet, 5 years after Sozin's Comet and the effective defeat of the Earth Kingdom, a meeting is planned in the South Pole so that the leaders in charge of this operation can come up with actual strategies to defeat the Water Tribespeople. Azula is there, in place of War Minister Qin, as Ozai's envoy... and things take a surprising turn when the Water Tribe's warriors attack during the meeting, intending to take these Fire Nation bigshots as hostages. But of course, the leader of these warriors doesn't anticipate that the Fire Nation Princess will be there...

And so, our 21yo Sokka and 19yo Azula meet for the first time in very hostile conditions, and the result of their fight is what catalyzes the events of the entire story :D

Our two main characters and primary ship of the story is, of course, these two and their enemies-to-lovers complicated situation. Within the first few chapters (though... there's a two-year timeskip in chapter 3 xD) they strike a deal and they become partners in the Gladiator League: Sokka will be Azula's gladiator, naturally, and she intends to use him in her own political stratagems to gain all the glory, renown and respect she's been trying to earn. Their journey as to reach the top of the Superior League's ranking (a key element of our new worldbuilding and scenario, found and explained both in-story and here...) takes them to many weird and unexpected places, they have all sorts of adventures and they meet a lot of people... and of course, they gradually start to develop very different feelings for each other than their original hostility. Their relationship is the beating heart of this story, and I've done my best to ensure that the development of their bond is continuous and progressive throughout the entirety of Gladiator. It bears clarifying, though, that the length of this story isn't because this is the slowest slowburn to ever burn... even if it was kind of slow, at first xD Their relationship does evolve actively within the story, and the story's larger structure is codified by the more significant changes they've undergone throughout their journey together.

Therefore, this isn't a story that aimed for a "they got together, the end!" approach. This is, indeed, a retelling of ATLA and... that means our ultimate goal is, more or less, the same one from ATLA :'D how does a world like this one regain balance? How do these characters respond to a world seemingly without an Avatar? What challenges are they going to face that will lead them to the conclusion that balance is, indeed, worth fighting for? :'D

Of course, Azula's personal development is mostly oriented towards making her question the horrors of the Fire Nation, the ideology she has been forcefed all her life and that she believed in blindly until she meets Sokka and they started clashing over their very different outlooks on the world. Little by little, Azula, who's already bothered by a handful of things in the Fire Nation, namely the inequality that splatters enough, to the point that it even reaches her (inequality that some people have thought is out of place in the story, BUT... here's my explanation for that), slowly realizes that there are a gazillion other shortcomings in her nation and that she, as Ozai's favorite child and chosen heir, will be in the perfect position to fix those things if she succeeds him on the throne... and moreover, she's ALREADY in a good position to start changing her nation as she is! Therefore, the initial stages of her journey deal a lot with her insecurities, her dark sides, her loneliness and her need for affection she has never accepted/understood... and once things move along further, her journey is that of a leader coming into her own, finally leaving a mark in the world, not for the sake of glory anymore but for the sake of the people whose lives she intends to change for the better. It may sound crazy for genuine newcomers to ATLA's fandom to think of Azula undergoing a journey like this one... but this fic isn't insanely long for no reason xD her development has been very slow, gradual, and as realistic as I could possibly make it within my possibilities. This really isn't your classic "redemption arc", but by all effects, the intent is the same... ultimately, Azula proves to be a character with immense potential to do good things, GREAT things! All she really needs is the chance to grow, to learn better...

And that chance arrives when she starts her tug-of-war partnership with Sokka. Our resident boomerang boy also undergoes a complicated journey of his own, though in his case, one aspect of the journey is more straightforward and even similar to those of shonen anime x'D he's on a power level climb since early Gladiator, when he wasn't strong enough to fight toe-to-toe against, of course, the GREATEST FIREBENDER OF HER GENERATION...! XD so, naturally, Sokka has to become stronger, develop new fighting styles, learn how to strategize preemptively, read the battlefield, make the right decisions in combat... all these things are very important in helping him move forward in his journey into becoming the great warrior he always dreamt of being.

But it would be terribly boring if Sokka's entire journey was ONLY about becoming a stronger warrior, am I right? xD basically, Sokka's character journey starts at the point where the boy genuinely becomes a man, when he sacrifices himself at great cost to save his people. From here onwards, Sokka undergoes a lot of strife and grief at the hands of the Fire Nation, only to be released from that grief sometime later when Azula steps back into his life. It's a complicated starting point, where neither one fully trusts the other, and where Sokka's sole desire is to return to his Tribe... but he has a heavy feeling of failure dangling over him ever since the fight at the settlement. He has insecurities all over the place, and worst of all, his time in the Amateur League takes an awful toll on his soul, for he's forced to kill people who are no better and no worse than him, gladiators who are only trying to stay alive just as he is. He's a little suicidal over those situations, for he hates himself due to his impulsive reactions whenever he's close to death: the threat of death always results in him going to any lengths to survive by sheer instinct, and he hates this side of himself deeply because it's something he perceives as ignoble and gruesome. He has his share of darkness inside him, darkness he tries to muffle and ignore for a long time, but it rears its head at times and he struggles with it.

Above all else, Sokka's insecurities about his own worth, about having earned the eventual blessings that find their way into his life, guide a lot of his journey: after everyone he's had to kill, every sacrifice he's made, he's set on survival so he can prove to himself that all the awful things his circumstances have forced him to do weren't in vain. He wants his life to amount to something... because if it doesn't, it means he should have died, for those he killed might have been worthier of living on than he was. It's dark and sad... but Sokka's journey is that of a man who has seen the very worst of the Fire Nation, just as he has seen its very best. His compassion and his clarity of mind mean he knows who's truly responsible for the Fire Nation's worst... and that also means his ultimate goal is to end the war and see Fire Lord Ozai defeated and paying for the horrors he and his forefathers inflicted upon the world.

Hence the beautiful irony of falling in love with the daughter of the man he hates the most, ahahaha...

It's worth mentioning that the focus on Azula and Sokka doesn't mean other characters don't exist or aren't relevant to the story, though. Like I said, some characters who were minor in ATLA have much bigger roles here, a lot of major ATLA characters have been repurposed too, some have been given new layers of complexity, new relationships, new dynamics with existing or new characters... there's a really big cast in Gladiator, all in all, not only of the existing characters from canon but also lots of OCs since a Superior League comprised by 500 fighters required for me to do more than just repurposing characters non-stop xD but anyhow, I've done my best to work with all my cast, to develop the more important characters in the direction I wanted to... which has occasionally resulted in some characters becoming much more important than intended, too xD at any rate, Gladiator has a lot of callbacks to canon but a lot of new content, many repurposed locations... it's been a difficult but really rewarding process to build up the world and characters as much as I have, so I can only hope it'll work well for you if you read it.

In conclusion, Sokka and Azula's relationship pushes both of their stories forward as they develop together and individually, and their many bonds with other characters also continue to change the world little by little, mostly while Ozai remains unaware of what they're doing, of how they're totally wrecking his legacy by subtly rebelling against his rule in small or big ways...

At least, he's unaware of it for most the story... :')

So! Gladiator's structure :'D

I have commonly divided Gladiator, structure-wise, in three parts. The entire story is in the same fic entry so I'm not saying you have to track down "Gladiator 2" or anything like that xD The three-part division mainly helps me in compartmentalizing the story, as each part has a very distinct narrative identity:

Part 1 is, of course, the beginning of the story. It's where Sokka and Azula first meet and eventually start their professional partnership in the Gladiator League that, little by little, becomes a lot less professional than they intended. There's a tooon of tension in the earlier arcs, due to their mutual distrust at first, eventually due to some complicated missteps in their partnership, and slowly because, try as though they might, they can't really resist the forces of attraction that continue to bring them together. The more they get to know each other, the more their mutual affection and attachment grows until they find themselves defying everything they knew, everything they ever took for granted in their world, by letting their bond deepen... and perhaps they let it deepen a bit too much xD Part 1 spans out across chapters 1 to 100, with a grand total of 13 different story arcs (as in, smaller narrative nuclei with self-contained storylines but that, all in all, are connected to each other in various ways).

Part 2, then, ties in with what I mentioned before: this story doesn't end with Sokka and Azula getting together. I'd even dare say that Part 2 actually gets into the bigger depths of what Gladiator is supposed to be, in ways Part 1 could only touch upon lightly. This chunk of the story, once Azula and Sokka are finally in a committed, fully-fledged relationship with each other, is where our two favorite dorks work their hardest to change their world. They face a lot of complicated threats, they deal with strange challenges, they continue attempting to rise in the Gladiator League... and all sounds like smooth sailing until it's not. Oops. Naturally, the shift in tension from Part 1 is "will-they-won't-they", and that changes to "are these two reckless fools in love going to keep their relationship a secret successfully... or will Ozai find out about it eventually?" in Part 2. And as that's the source of tension, I suspect you can imagine what will be the defining factor that ends Part 2 and leads into Part 3? :'D Part 2, then, spans out between chapter 101 to the yet-unpublished chapter 247, with a grand total of... 25 arcs, ahahaha xD it's insane that it has so many compared to Part 1, but in my sort-of-defense a lot of Part 2's arcs are shorter than those of Part 1...? XD

... And Part 3's identity, of course, may not be as big a mystery as want to make it, but I really shouldn't talk about it until it starts being posted XD July 22nd will see the beginning of the high-stakes final part of Gladiator, where shit hits the fan in every metaphorical way imaginable and ALL the loose threads I could bring together will be tied up into what I hope will be the epic finale of the craziest, longest story I ever could have hoped to write! :D

So! If all this long-winded explanation suggests the story is interesting enough for your tastes, I'd say giving Gladiator a shot is a good idea :D if not... then I don't know, maybe give it a try warily? xD it's all fine if it's not your cup of tea, of course, I know it verses around a lot of dark topics that some people don't like to deal with nowadays... but if you are interested in exploring this AU territory, I hope the story will do it in a way you'll find satisfactory :D

As for any further advice, well...

I really don't think I can tell you anything like "just read these arcs and they'll be enough", granted that there are a few chapters that aren't quite that urgent and big for the whole story, but I've done my best to keep the story flowing in a natural way, and that means that most things that happen have consequences and are connected to each other in some way or another (for example... there's one casual, humorous thing that happens in chapter 21 and, while it affects our protagonists in some ways, it doesn't look like it'll make a comeback as a storyline AT ALL... and then it does in chapter 145 :'D). Therefore... at best, if you really don't want to read the whole story, I suggest you drop by and check out... the Gladiator Navigator! Each published arc has a summary there. There used to be a proper highlights area, buuuut it broke because there were too many links and Tumblr is dumb xD either way, if you reeeeeally don't want to read the whole thing, this might help? And if you do want to, but you'd rather know what to expect on each arc regardless, the navigator should help as well, I guess. Some people actually want spoilers in their lives, so if that's your case, the navigator is at least a moderately good idea to have some clue as to what to expect... if you don't want spoilers, though, don't go there at all xD

Anyway, as far as advice goes, I'd say you should probably read Gladiator at your own pace, it's a very long story and it only gets longer, so struggling over how to keep up with it feels reasonable but, well, unnecessary? I mean, if you drop by my blog often, yes, there may be spoilers of things you haven't read yet, so be careful if you don't want spoilers...?

But beyond that... I really don't know what I can advise you to do in order to read this story. Keep the big ATLA map drawn by Bill Mudron at hand if you can? xD It's what I've used for most the plotting of the story to figure out where characters are going and what they're doing. I've pondered making my own version of the map for Gladiator-specific purposes, but that's bound to be very time consuming, ahahaha xD Maybe one day, I dunno (?)

Beyond that... nine years ago, I would have suggested you looked at the Ranking to use it as a reference in the story, but truth be told, that's another thing I didn't handle all that well :'D I wish I had done better but I didn't think of a way to do so xD so it's very much up-to-date with recent chapters and you can't really access the old ones unless Wayback Machine somehow captured it in the past? x'D which I sincerely doubt. So the Ranking might not be too helpful for you atm.

There's also the fanarts, as well as my own art about the story, all of which might be of some use in building your interest in seeing certain scenes or characters? I honestly have no idea xD but I suppose I can offer that, if nothing else.

And I don't know what else I can say at this point xD maybe try to talk to other readers? Find out if they had any handy tricks to read the story that I'm unaware of? I honestly don't know xD but I hope what I've said so far will be some help :) And of course, sorry it took me so long to get to this ask, but I hope this is some use for you, anon!

#anon #gladiator #maybe the best thing I can advise is #to be ready to see fandom-beloved characters #doing terrible things #that hopefully are still consistent with who they are #and with who I built them into in this story #but that are still very outrageous sometimes? :'D #anyway gladiator is gladiator and canon is canon and we are happy to coexist (?)#thus you can love a character over there and hate them over here (?) easy peasy (?)

what’s wild about this show is the blonde dom lady (kath?? i think??) and simone kessell’s character are the only two with developed personalities and yet they only interact like once

#avery watches pine gap #someone pointed out how the characters just... rly dont feel real?? and that + the REALLY Really bad exposition attempts are really it #like it could be a genuinely interesting show if that werent the case #its weird bc the characters do have motives! and backstory! but the personalities and connections and relatability just... arent there #for anyone but simone kessell's character which is wEIRD bc she's only the facility director's wife??? but i think from what #i understanddddd she still does play a big role so highlighting her motives and making them understandable is necessary #also blonde dom lady is just... very mean and vocal and i love her #its just such a shame bc a show about 2 sides trying to work together in one facility could be so good #but the plots are so hard to follow bc the exposition was so weak #and it's just hard to actually get invested in it all #maybe the last few eps will change my mind (from what ive read the ending isnt even an ending tho??) but hhh h it shuldnt #take multiple hour-long episodes in what is only a 6 episode series that i dont think intends to make any more episodes #this long to connect audiences #im glad im rly only watching it for simone but it's kindaaa disappointing bc i ended up rly looking forward to the show itself too :/#at least therell be a lesbian thing soon

We always walked a very thin line

Pairing: Steve Rogers x Reader

Warnings: A very persistent Steve Rogers, that is the warning. And some swearing, and a soft! dark Steve. You have been warned

A/N: HIIIIII. My brain is gonna explode from memorizing so many things for the exaaaam. Also, I kindaaa wannaaa write about Bucky’s girl on a separate series but IDK my mind is going overdrive from ideas and law stuff like :(( hahahaha anyway! I know some parts are not true to movie ‘Civil War’, but for fanfic’s purposes, I changed some info. I really hope you enjoy! Thank you for all the likes, replies, and reblogs!

PART 1, PART 2, PART 3, PART 4, PART 5, END

“How did you get in here?”

Steve didn’t answer, just stared at you from across the room, city lights slipping from the curtains casting a shadow on his large form- making him look like an angel out for revenge. You couldn’t take the silence- this version of him had always made you nervous. This jealous and possessive version of him was a complete 180 degrees to the Steve you all knew- the kind and calm one. You couldn’t take it anymore.

You started walking towards where the switch was and turned on the light, “I don’t know how on earth you thought this was okay, but it’s not. This is an invasion of-“ you stopped berating him when you turned to look at him. He was sitting on your couch, legs spread and glaring at you and looking so beaten up there were bruises on his face, his arms covered with slashes that were still bleeding. But despite that, his posture was still rigged with unrestrained anger.

“Oh my god, Steve-“ you quickly walked to your room to gather emergency medical supplies and hurried to him, your medical training kicking in. You immediately sat beside him to inspect the deep gashes on his arms. He didn’t budge, not making your job easier. “Come on, let me see.” You implored him, but he just sat there, and it was only when you stared into his eyes that you saw the hurt in them.

His hand lifted to your face, his thumb grazing over your lips. “Did you let him kiss you?”

You tried to move away but his hand stopped you from moving even an inch. “Steve, you’re blee-“

“Just answer me.”

You stared anywhere else but him, before answering exasperatedly, “No. Happy? Now let me see.” He looked at you long and hard, trying to see if you were lying, his hands now on your nape.

“My love, if you let him, I would have destroyed him.” You were shocked by his statement, you could see how serious he was. And you knew Steve was a man of action- he never threatens to do something he wouldn’t follow through. And that was what made him dangerous. He had always been a civilized man but when it came to you, as Bucky used to say, he became a beast. Steve, for all his goodness, had his flaws. The dark side of him only surfaced when it came to you- Steve had always thought you were his, someone made just for him. A little piece of heaven he had in return for the lifetime of battles the world had thrusted him to. You had no idea what he did and he could do just to make sure you and him would end up together.

Before you could give him a piece of your mind, he released you and you noticed how badly injured he was. You started cleaning his wounds to see how deep they were. You knew with his super soldier serum, you had to work faster before his wound started closing. You worked efficiently, putting all of your concentration on his needs. You pointed out how the compound had a doctor other than you, to which he just shrugged his massive shoulders, saying he didn’t need them when he had you.

You started clearing out, when he pulled you down on his thighs. “Steve,” you struggled to get out of his hold, but he did nothing but hugged you, his head burrowed on your neck. Your hand was on his head, pushing him away when you heard his steely voice, “Be careful who you put between us, sweetheart. Next time I won’t be as lenient.”

It was two weeks before you said yes to another date with Matthew. While the two of you were constantly communicating, what Steve said got to you and you became wary of meeting with Matthew. You told yourself you were single and there was nothing wrong with dating and if he had a problem with that then it wasn’t your problem.

But boy, was it your problem. You were out having lunch date with Matthew when a shining, black arm caught your attention. You didn’t want to look up, but you did because you were trying to be brave. Or at least acting. You excused yourself from Matthew, feigning on going to the lady’s room but instead made your way to Bucky who was looking innocently at you.

You squinted your eyes at him, to which he just flashed his innocent smile at you, “Hi, Y/N.”

He looked at Matthew, assessing him as his head cocked to the side before sliding his eyes at you, and slowly shaking his head.

“Don’t you dare, Bucky!”

“What?” He chuckled, “I’m not doing anything.” He started tinkling with his phone, before showing you the picture he took of you and Matthew. You snatched it away from his hand, and you couldn’t believe your eyes. The fucker sent it to Steve.

“Bucky! How dare you! You know how unreasonably crazy he is!”

“Exactly.” He looked at you with all seriousness. “You know that, and you still did it. As his friend, Y/N, you know I had to tell him.”

You couldn’t believe him, he was as crazy as Steve. You pity the woman he’d fall in love with someday. You couldn’t begin to even imagine how overbearing Bucky would be once he fall in love. You hope to God the girl would turn the other way- you wished to God you did when you started falling for Steve.

“Unbelievable.” You muttered under your breath, as your phone started ringing. Steve was calling you. You didn’t dare answer, rationalizing to yourself that you did nothing wrong, that you were a single woman and not someone who was cheating behind your man’s back. “We’re not even together! You have no right, Bucky.”

“Doll, I don’t think he accepts that you aren’t together anymore.” He stood up, “If you want to avoid chaos, I suggest you be honest to yourself. You love that crazy man. Stop acting like you don’t anymore.” He turned back and started walking before he stopped and half-turned to you.

“Oh, and have a nice date.”

Your eyes went up to the tall man waiting for you in front of the altar. He was wearing a white crisp long sleeves, fitting his large and strong form. The sun setting casted a beautiful and ethereal glow to the quaint, little chapel. It was quiet as you slowly, but eagerly walk towards the man you wanted to spend the rest of your life with. In your hands clasped a beautiful bouquet of roses your husband-to-be picked outside the chapel as he waited for you to get ready for your impromptu little wedding.

The only sound you can hear was your heart beating as you near him, remembering how he asked you to marry him now, in front of God. You remembered how you said yes, because how and why would you say no when you were sure that this was once in a lifetime feeling, that you were sure that you would follow this man until the end of the world if he wanted to.

How could you say no when everything you ever wanted was waiting for you at the end of the aisle?

How could you say no when his eyes pleaded you to say yes and to take a gamble of life with him?

Camera flashes could almost blind him, if he was anything but a super soldier, as the media vied for his attention.

"Mr. Rogers, are you back for good?"

"Captain America, are you planning to resume your position in the Avengers?"

"Captain America, have you now settled your dispute with Tony Stark?"

"Mr. Rogers-"

"Captain America-"

He stepped up to the podium and took a look at the media one by one, flashing his charisma as if he was not gone for two long years without the whole media fiasco. He could easily return to the great Captain America persona, could easily slipped into the man who could charm the whole world with just his patriotic smile.

"Good evening. I would like to thank everyone for being here this late at night. I appreciate you taking your time to give an old man like me your time." This made the crowd chuckle, nothing in his appearance screams old. "To address your questions, yes. I am back for good. And yes, I am certainly ready to return to my position in the Avengers. There is no greater pleasure than to protect our nation and our citizens from harm."

His answers prompted a big cheer from the media, as well as the citizens watching from their homes. He had always known how to elicit a good response from the crowd, easily gaining their forgiveness from his so-called transgression a few years ago.

"What prompted your decision to make peace with the government and to return as a pardoned man, Captain?"

The crowd went silent as Steve looked down and took a deep breath. He took a moment before answering, his face full of anguish that made the crowd sad with him. He acted so heartbroken that everyone was fooled, everyone but you. You didn't know why but your heart was beating loudly, sensing something that would happen that for sure would not make you happy.

You know Steve like the back of your hand. But this man standing on the podium, that man you weren't sure you know. It was the other side of Steve that you only caught glimpses of when you were together. That dark side of him that he could summon whenever the situation arises to it. Or those rare moments when he thought he'd lose you.

He looked slowly but directly to the camera, his eyes showing sadness. Sadness you didn't know if it was genuine or a mere acting on his part. He took a deep breath "The reason why I came back, why I decided to make peace with our Government," he took a deep breath again before flashing his blue eyes to the camera, working the crowd on his side. "is because I am married."

The whole crowd went wild, camera flashes illuminating his sad form, questions were being shouted. Your heart stopped and you almost lost gripped of your wine. What. The. Fuck. Never in your wildest dreams did you think Steve Rogers would say that. In front of the media. For his advantage. Against you.

And as if that wasn't enough, he continued talking.

"And I know I had been a terrible husband, being away for two years, being away from my wife.. but that stops now. There is nothing I would love more than to be back in the Avengers and to have my wife back in my arms. And maybe, to start a family with her,"

What the fuck. Again. What the fuck? Wha-

"Captain, do you have a message for your wife?"

He smiled and looked at the camera once again, his blue eyes shining with dark promises, as if he knew that she was at home watching.

"I am coming back for you, my love. And this time, we will never be apart."

The crowd awed at him and his short but sweet message. But to you, it seemed like a promise, or a threat..

Your phone started ringing with calls and messages coming your way and you wanted nothing but to hide beneath a rock until he goes away from your life. For good.

Your white dress that ended below your knee looked divine on you. It was a simple but elegant dress that your fiancé immediately bought when he saw it on you a few hours ago. The wedding may not be a legal one, but Steve insisted it to be at least a formal one, with your white dress, with his white shirt, and your bouquet of roses.

The chapel bore no designs, seeing as time is of the essence, but it did not matter to you. What mattered most is the man in front of you looking at you with all the love in the world. He took your hand once you reached him at the end of the aisle, his smile was so sweet that you couldn't help but mirror his. He brought your hand to his lips and gently kiss the back of it.

"Thank you for doing this, my love." He murmured against your hand. "I love you."

"I love you, Steve."

How could you not do this for him?

You both faced the priest Steve found as he was waiting for you. To your surprise, the priest agreed to officiate your impromptu wedding.

"We are gathered here to witness the union of Steve Grant Rogers and Y/N Y/L/N. Do you Steve Rogers, accept Y/N as your wife, to love and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until death do you part?"

Steve held both of your hands and faced you, "I do." His voice was loud and strong in the empty chapel. He slipped on the ring he bought for you, the big diamond in a princess cut flashing to you. It was indeed flashy and everyone from a mile away could see you were already spoken for.

The priest repeated the words to you, you smiled up to him as he was waiting for your response. "I do," as soon as words left you, your Steve smiled so wide and so sincere. You slipped on his ring finger the wedding band you had chosen for him at the jewelry store a few hours ago, insisting that you pay for it but Steve did not let you. It was a simple silver band, with your name engraved inside it.

"I now pronounce you, Mr. and Mrs. Steve Rogers. You may now kiss your bride."

You turned to the man you were gonna spend the rest of your life with and looked up to him with full of adoration. He held your face with his large hands and kissed you. His lips warm, his grip on your nape tightened as he deepened the kiss.

No one knew you got married that day. Heck, even you knew it was not a wedding that would bind you legally. But at that time, it felt so real to you.

No one was aware of that day, only you and Steve, and the priest.

You didn't know how you were able to drive considering your current state. You were fuming mad after the initial shock you felt in your whole body as you watch him make that statement. You didn't know he'd do that, didn't know that he'd hold 'that' against you. It was an impulse decision really- you weren't thinking when you grabbed your keys, and drove to him. You were not even sure he'd be at your old shared house, but you had a hunch. And boy were you right. Parking haphazardly your car to the driveway, you almost didn't notice how neat the garden was. This wasn't the state of the house you were imagining seeing as it was vacated a year ago. The house looked as if it was freshly-painted, the garden trimmed and filled with flowers. You could see the lights from the house- good. He was here.

You were never the confrontational type, preferring to calm yourself down before talking. But not now. Now you needed someone to shout at- particularly that super soldier who opened the door when you banged your fist on the front door repeatedly. He caught your hand, effectively stopping you from banging the door.

"You asshole!" you struggled to pull your hand from his inescapable grip with no avail. "You abominable shit goblin!"

"I'm a what?" he sounded so confused, but you could hear a chuckle in his voice. He still wouldn't let go of you so you decided to punched him in whatever body part you could reach. His apparent amusement was making you try to punch him as hard as you could- which you knew you could only do because he was letting you.

"You sorry-excuse-of-a-soldier!" You were starting to get breathless, and annoyed so much because he was just standing there, not even sweating as he smirked down at you.

And so, you decided to knee him where it would hurt him the most, but before you could land a blow, he maneuvered his body away from you whilst effectively subduing your thrashings. His chest was pressed on your back, his massive arms around you as he waited for you to calm down.

"Tsk tsk," you could feel his warm breath on your neck, "What would happen to our future children if you hit me there, sweetheart?"

You could feel how damp his arms were, and that was the moment you became aware that he was naked, except for a pair of sweats he was wearing. Steve was fresh from the shower when he heard you banging on the front door. He knew you would seek him, he just didn't know it would be this soon. You froze and stopped struggling when you felt his lips on your neck.

"Are you calm now, my love?" he whispered. You took a deep breath and elbowed him, "Let go of me, you annoying human!"

He laughed, you could feel the vibrations from his chest as he hugged you closer before finally letting you go. He closed the door, his hand on your elbow as he lead you to the kitchen, not minding your struggling body.

"Also, what children? Hell will freeze before I carry your child, Rogers!"

He chuckled as you watched him put a glass of water in front of you. "That can be arranged." He pointed at the glass, as he poured himself a glass of water. "Drink. All that rage must have drained you. He leisurely drank his water, his eyes not leaving you over the rim of the glass. "So, what can you say about the house? It took me more than a month to clean the mess, fix the roof, restore the utilities so you won't have a problem when you come back."

Glaring at him, you could not for the life of you believe this man You took a deep breath, trying to calm yourself, "I though we came to an understanding, Steve. I told you I am saying goodbye to you! That I'm literally done. What was that bullshit you spewed in front of the media?"

"You said goodbye to me," He started, "I didn't accept it. You took my silence as an acceptance when that wasn't the case, love. You should know better by now, I'm not letting you go. I am your husband and I won't tolerate my wife looking at another man other than me." He said it so calmly that you acted before you could think. The whole house was so silent, except for the sound of glass shattering that you threw at his head to which he swiftly dodged while remaining so calm. You were breathing hard as you looked at him.

"That was not a legal wedding and you know it!"

"Who do you think the public will believe? You?" He stepped closer to you, his eyes so serious, "Or me, their Captain America who saved their lives countless times? Hmm?" You backed away from him, placing your hand to his chest to create some form of distance. "What do you think will happen to your precious boy toy if I decide to leak to the media how someone is trying to steal my wife away from me? What will happen to him?"

You admitted internally that you were scared. You knew at the back of your mind that Steve who was always calm with you, could be threatening to others he saw was a threat. You knew that he could be a tad bit possessive even back then we he thought that a man was trying to get your attention. But you never thought he could go as far as this. But you also knew he was in the wrong here. He left you, without even a warning sign. He just up and left, and now he had the audacity to act like a slighted husband? When you lived without him for two years? Oh no, sir. You weren't going down without a fight.

You smiled suddenly, which made him be on his guard as your mind was thinking of loopholes, “Honey, what you lack is a proof," You started pushing him away. "There was only you, me, and the priest that day. We didn't sign anything, there was no hard evidence that we got 'married' that day." You smiled triumphally, as your mind went back to that faithful day.

"Oh, don't I?" He looked up thoughtfully, his hand on his waist, his hand stroking his chin. His evil gaze found you again before he turned his massive back on you, and entered the room you knew used to be your office.

Not waiting for him, you decided to leave. You were walking to your car, feeling like what transpired was a point to you. You felt better than when you drove here. You were just starting you car when you saw him walking towards you. He oh-so calmly smiled and then winked at you from your windshield before kneeling down to stab your front tire with the knife hidden behind him. Your jaw slackened at him.

"Now try and leave." He mouthed at you.

It was a magical day that was only commemorated by a single wedding picture taken by the priest of you and Steve in front of the altar, his strong arm around your waist, you were looking at the camera with your red bouquet clasp in your hands, your ring shining. He was looking at you You were both smiling.

Only a single evidence of what occurred that day that you had printed and hanged in your supposedly shared home. A single evidence that you burned when you realized he was not coming back for you now matter how much you begged. A single evidence you had deleted on your device when you were moving on.

A single evidence you were now looking at inside Steve Roger's wallet as he showed you.

"No evidence, you say, my wife?"

Hi, can I request a grumpy but overprotective marc to a chaotic good reader 😊 like marc is exasperated/annoyed to reader's antics but deep inside marc really likes how she is, thank you so much!

hello yes of course you can i love you

also im sorry i made this kindaaa hurt/comfort thats my niche, also this kinda got away from me lol

Marc Spector x Reader

Begrudging

Summary; Marc has spent his whole life doing dangerous things for all manner of reasons, but when you come near even a modicum of danger? He's incensed.

It started with the first time you stopped to help someone on the street. You and Marc had been walking arm in arm down the moonlight path, making a way for home.

"I'm tellin' you, you haven't lived until you've tried it." Marc insisted, a sly smile hovering on his face as he gazed at you.

You only gave him an eye roll back, going to reply before you were interrupted.

"Excuse me, miss?"

Marc saw them first and you saw the instant change in him, the working of his jaw and the dark sheen cast over his eyes. You turned toward the voice to find a man, probably not much older than you, smiling politely.

Sometimes Marc was too on the offensive.

"Hello." You replied kindly, keeping your arm twined around Marc's. "Is there something I can do for you?"

"I was just wondering if you might point me in the direction of the Laurelcroft Inn? Tourist and all that." The stranger had kept the same polite smile the whole time, eyes flicking between yours and the man on your arm.

It was a simple enough task. You gave him a few quick directions, pointing in the general way and then you were off again - Marc still following the departing silhouette with his eyes..

You slapped him lightly on the arm, trying to get him to come back to the present. "That man wasn't going to kill us, Marc."

His head turned to you sharply, shaking a bit. "You couldn't have known that. Who stops for strangers on the street?"

"I do. Besides, you were right here the whole time."

----

The first time you stumble into your shared apartment with the smell of blood on you, Marc nearly loses it.

He was sitting in the kitchen, cleaning one of his guns having just come back from one of his trips when he heard the front door open. Happy that you're home but curious why you're late, he gets up to greet you.

The blood dripping down your arm when he rounds the corner almost makes him drop to his knees. Yet you're stood there, a sheepish smile on your face while you hold the wound to your chest.

"What happened?" It's a demand as he approaches, reaching out gentle hands to bring your arm closer to him, noticing the two large cuts running parallel to each other. "Who did this?" His tone is deadly, and begging for someone to take it out on.

Your cheeks were wet, not being able to help the few tears of pain but you shook your head. "I did this. There was a kitten stuck under the opening of a building like, a block away. I reached in to get it out and when I pulled my arm out I cut myself on something."

Your other half paused in his ministrations, tone lightening only a fraction. "This happened because you tried to save a kitten?"

He was exasperated while he bandaged you, demanding that you absolutely never do it again. He doesn't care if a litter of puppies is about to be hit by a train, you stay the fuck out of harms way.

God, he loves you. But he also thinks you might be the death of him.

----

The next time you try to do something good, his fears finally come to fruition.

His heart stops beating after a phone call from you.

"Please come and get me. I'll explain when you get here, just please."

You didn't even have to say please, you could've just said hello and the tears, the fear in your voice would've had him on the street in seconds. You were supposed to be at a work meeting, some sort of event before you brought in another piece of art.

So what happened?

It took Marc almost no time to get there, but the flashing lights of police cars outside the building made something clench in his stomach.

He pushed past the tape barrier, seeing you sitting on the pavement in front of the building, and damn near took the officers head off who tried to stop him. "That's my wife."

Then he was on his knees in front of you, hands resting on either side of your head in an attempt to look you over, check for any injuries. You had a blossoming bruise on one cheek, and the look in your eyes had him breathless. This was a private affair in a house like building owned by your company; what could have happened?

"A man knocked on the door." He didn't know if he could handle how small you sounded. "He said he needed help with his car which is like the oldest trick in the book, I know, but I couldn't just not help him."

Apparently, when she stepped out to hand him her phone to use, he'd grabbed her. Tried to knock her out. But the commotion was heard from inside and one of her coworkers came to her aid.

The man had been taken away already, so there was no one for Marc to bury a bullet in. Just you, sat here, needing him.

His hands were gentle on your cheeks, thumbs moving lightly back and forth to try and comfort you. "Baby. I'm so sorry."

"You were right about me being dumb, I don't know why I try to help people. It's stupid."

That broke his heart. "No. It's not stupid to care about others. That piece of shit took advantage of you." And if I ever see him, I'm going to rip his spine out. "I love your heart and how big it is. Maybe just don't go opening doors anymore." The smile on his face was begging for one from you.

You laughed a bit, a slightly broken sound. "Really?"

He pressed a firm kiss to your forehead. "Really. Now lets get you home."

Thanks for the fic recs~!

Currently going through all of them and so far so good :)

Heres a question, how did you get into the DNB wormhole? or even just the fandom?

no worries! i hope you love them ^^

---

and for the question... i donʼt really know. i donʼt even remember when did i became a dsmp fan. but i swear, it was before the exile arc. i was even giggling that day when i heard c!dream cursing because the other members (c!tommy, c!quackity, c!fundy) taunted him. because you know, he kinda... he kindaaa *looks away*

but for dnb though, it all started when i watched this short animatic of george seeing other colors with glasses, and of course, with dream. it was really, really soft. and... at that point, i didnʼt know people ship them. not until i saw this one particular comment in that video about dnf (like the whole ship, in general). i donʼt remember what i saw that day, but i remember the word “boyfriends”.

after i read that comment, i was like, “yeah, they are kinda cute together,” because they are, really. i was even tearing up because dream sounds so happy for george. and then i realized something.

theyʼre friends. best of friends, along with sapnap.

and during those times, i was not a fan of “friends to lovers” trope. i was (and still) so obsessed with enemies to lovers that it changed my view on dnf as a ship. mind you, i was also so, so obsessed with “opposite attracts” and i find techno and dream very different from each other. (maybe, it was because of my obsession with eclipse. you know, the whole “sun loves the moon and moon loves the sun” thing) then, i connected the dots: i was a fan of enemies to lovers trope, and also obsessed with opposite attracts (at this point, my brain was thinking of any person that can go with dream and my preferences in a ship); something clicked. wouldnʼt techno be better instead of george? i even remembered watching the duel between dream and techno. then everything came into place. techno was indeed better instead of george.

in a matter of seconds after finding out the people ship dnf, techno was the first thing that came to my mind if i were to replace george with another. donʼt get me wrong, i like george for dream, they are cute together, but my preferences says no to them. i even found out that day, that most of dnf fanfics are about dream being this so-called “rude” guy and george being the so-called “pretty and soft” guy. the amount of summary and tag i read on ao3 blew my mind. you donʼt know how much hate i had with dnf because of that (i still hate dnf, btw. we donʼt accept dnf in this household) (is that /j or /lh? ehhhh, probably /srs or /hsrs)

then after some time, i figured why donʼt i search any fanfics about techno and dream? and i did, now iʼm here.

just a funfact, i think i was a dnb shipper before even learning about dsmp. (i literally had to read almost every dnb fanfic iʼve read without knowing the whole other characters such as phil, tommy, tubbo, and more.)

and for clarification, yes, i did shipped dnb as ccs before (or maybe not, because all fanfics i read that day was, almost, always about the canon), but after finding out the whole “if you ship me with other creators, thatʼs--thatʼs kinda cringe” ordeal with techno, of course, i changed. i just really like their dynamic, being rivals, enemies, and all sorts of stuff.

yeah... i think thatʼs it. :D

---

again, i hope you enjoy my recommendations! ^^

hey everyone! ummm this is peyton (also the mun of lee hyeon) taking a second shot at a second character — i have a lot of muse for this one, so i swear he’ll be around for a while… 🥵 this is ryu geon, yes his name rhymes with hyeon’s & no i do not care ♥️ he’s the lead guitarist/vocalist of meta and also the son of a former nobody rockstar, but i’ll get into all that below! like this post if you’d like for me to come into your ims to plot, click the read more for more info on geon, and/or click here to be taken to his pages: CAREER, DOSSIER, PINTEREST.

HISTORY.

born in autumn ‘97 to a “budding rockstar” (translation: “no yeah i swear our band’s really starting to take off, we sold twenty-three tickets to our last show!”) & a woman with commitment issues ♥️ geon’s dad always told him that his mom left because she had some dire matters that needed to be taken care of and SWORE that she cried the last time she held her dear baby boy, but all of his dad’s bandmates say that she was just some groupie and had to be persuaded into carrying her child to term… who can say for sure?

naturally, there are no pictures of this mystery woman. there was one (1) of her holding infant geon, but then he found out that that was actually a sound tech who worked for his dad’s band… and he just never corrected geon’s assumptions LOLLLL

anyway! he was always really close to his dad, considering they were a two-person family. he has a set of grandparents, an aunt and a couple cousins but they were never involved with geon’s life because his dad is the #blacksheep of the family. geon and his dad against the world, am i right?

uhhh geon was also kind of a black sheep growing up, but he didn’t really notice? he was a happy kid, very energetic and enthusiastic. a lot of adults in the area looked down on him & his dad, but he was SOOOO blind to it because his dad’s a god in his eyes and HE’S always been nice to everyone, so why would they not like him??? because his clothes smelled a little like dad’s cigarette smoke??? big deal

wasn’t troublesome (beyond talking too much), but a lot of people still expected bad things from him :/ “his father’s a dirtbag, i’ll be surprised if that boy doesn’t end up in jail by 20”, “he won’t amount to anything without a proper role model in his life”, “his dad is teaching him how to slack off”, “he won’t contribute anything to society”, etc. he kindaaa picked up on this as he got older but pretended not to because it was more rewarding to play dumb and keep being a good kid(tm) to prove them wrong

was basically a mini version of his dad. same style, similar features, birthmarks in the same places, same “live today, die tomorrow” approach in life, same affinity for singing & playing rock music. ummm he loved his dad a lot. a lot. a lot. wanted to make him proud SO BAD, started his first band when he was 15 and they sucked so bad but his dad was their biggest fan… you know how it is. a lot of people misunderstood him, but he was a very good guy and such a great parent

TW DEATH unfortunately he passed away just shy of geon’s 18th birthday and your boy still hasn’t forgiven the world for taking his dad when he was in the middle of his angsty teen phase — had he known that their time together was dwindling, he would’ve been so so so much better to him END TW

his dad’s band actually rocketed into the charts after he passed & suddenly they were getting loads of publicity, lots of “what a shame that he went under-appreciated” which pissed geon off SOOOO bad because why couldn’t they have had that energy when he was still alive? he’s still mad about it five/six years later

this is getting kinda long, so uhhh tl;dr, he ended up staying with the drummer of his dad’s band until he was old enough to live alone/READY to live alone, but he changed quite a bit. was really going through it, quit his band, stopped putting effort into school. barely graduated. went from being a social butterfly spending every weekend at a gig or with friends to spending all of his time on a pc or in front of a tv, playing console games. the internet comforted him when nobody else would/could and then he met the future members of meta <33333333 #newbeginnings

present day geon is still struggling, has to go to counseling bi-weekly but he’s coming back out of his shell! he wants to fall in love with life again, just wants to tread carefully... outgoing & will talk to absolutely anyone, but he still spends most of his time alone. hard to reach by text, so if you wanna talk to him, you better call/facetime LMAO. talks a mile a minute, especially if you get him going abt something he really likes. laughs a lot, smiles a lot, more habitual than actual signs of happiness but yk. ummm he has a really loud voice, mostly controlled nowadays but he still gets carried away sometimes. an absolute menace during long drives/flights, sorry meta.

funny but only when he’s in large groups. feeds off of other peoples’ energy, really good at reading a room and breaking the ice/making everyone comfortable, but if you meet him 1-on-1, none of his jokes land quite the same.

i envision him as being the kind of guy who carries himself in such a way that you’d assume he’s really popular/out of reach/maybe even full of himself, but he’s... not like that... at all... in fact, he’s kinda irritating when you get to know him. the personification of a flood followed by a drought and vice versa, always either too much or not enough. gets used/ghosted/dropped/dumped/whatever a lot because he’s soooo fun in the moment (if he isn’t in his feelings), but draining long-term.

really emotionally intelligent, in touch with his feelings in a way that a lot of people never thought he would be (probably thanks to counseling tbh). he’s very very rarely the type of person who will make you wonder what your place in his life is — he’s communicative, kind, honest. ummm he thinks that intimacy between friends needs to be more common, so he’s really affectionate with the people in his life. type of guy to tell you he loves you every chance he gets (calling you when he’s drunk, sounding like a clingy ex type beat) & greet you/depart with a hug. losing his dad kinda fucked him up in the way that he won’t leave/hang up until his friends say “i love you” back, gets kinda (re: very) upset if he’s denied that and/or a hug.

TRIVIA.

has been playing the guitar “longer than he’s been walking” (not really, but he swears it’s true).

uhhh he really likes nail art, but he’s kinda hesitant in what he tries? mainly sticks to black polish (or other plain colors), but sometimes he’ll get little designs added in as well. mainly does it himself because he still doesn’t feel comfortable in salons... if his work looks bad, leave him alone <3 he’s trying

inspired by people like kurt cobain, nicky wire, yungblud, billie joe armstrong & damiano david in the fact that he’s not against wearing dresses or skirts on stage. doesn’t do it ALL the time, but often enough that it doesn’t go unnoticed. some people say that he does it for attention because he doesn’t dress like that elsewhere and tbh they’re probably kinda right

interested in history (only SOME... dinosaurs, ancient civilizations, specialized areas like the history of circuses/clowns/skateboarding/punk, stuff like that yk), stand-up comedy & documentaries. could spend a whole day watching documentaries and would say he had fun, has a lot of useless knowledge that nobody gives a fuck about and is kinda dumb when it comes to things that matter

when it comes to music, he prefers playing really fast and heavy rock or punk over anything else, but he actually listens to a lot more soft indie on his own time... he’s too tense these days to be listening to anything else RIPPP

the vibe: homemade tie-dye, ripped slipknot t-shirts, frosted tips, neon crocs with alien & peace-sign charms, chipped black nail polish, calloused hands, cheesy pick-up lines used NOT to land a date but to pull a smile, driving until he’s lost, stupid socks paired with pressed suits, dramatic poetry in an iphone note, etc.

PLOT IDEAS.

people he met through online support groups about coping with grief

uhhh an on & off relationship that’s been going for who-knows-how-long. the reason for this is up for discussion, but i imagine that he hasn’t given up yet because the constant highs and lows are a good source of inspo 🤪 artists must suffer for their art!

opposite side of the coin — someone he’s interested in, but he’s NOT disloyal so it’s a pattern of persistent courting when he’s single vs intense friend-zoning when he’s not and they’re getting tired of trying to figure out what he wants from them

someone else who likes nail art & can convince him that NOBODY cares if he goes to a salon

someone (probably female but doesn’t really matter tbh) who feels like his feminism is entirely performative… maybe they attack him directly for it or maybe they just REALLY don’t like him and they’re super vague about it idk. either way, please tell him that activism is much more than recommending one female artist a year and saying “clothes have no gender 🤪” so he can be praised for the bare minimum (his heart is in the right place but his skull is empty)

someone super introverted who comes out of their shell with geon! uhhh maybe they think that he’s the one doing them a favor, but in reality spending time with them has been doing wonders for his mental health

other people who like to skate. let’s congregate at the local skatepark and scare the middle schoolers away

someone who inspires him musically, for whatever reason. lots of late nights in studios, idly strumming his guitar and writing lyrics that definitely aren’t about how their eyes look in these dim lights… umm maybe he thinks he has a crush on them but really doesn’t and ends up hurting them eventually, maybe he really DOES have a crush but will (probably) never do anything abt it or maybe it’s entirely platonic and he just admires them a ridiculous amount

someone who likes to make music as a hobby, prob won’t publish/release any of it but it’s fun to imagine. spontaneous meetings with geon in the middle of the night, recording songs together and keeping the WORST takes for the laughs. there’s probably a diss-track of them going in on each other floating around somewhere even though geon can’t rap for shit

night owls who keep him company on the phone, even if they can’t be there physically. them talking really quietly vs geon shouting at them while he plays games LMAO

gaming buddies. come over, maybe you can carry geon through his game of the week or you can both fail but have fun while you’re at it… or you can scream while he fends off that hoard of zombies behind you

i’m typing this at the last minute (literally) so i’m gonna stop here, but i will get a proper plots page put up asap with a wider variety of connections!!! but as always, please do let me know if you have any other ideas. i’m always happy to plot and write with you all 🌚

#ws:intro #frankly my characters end up a lil different from intended 90% of the time soooo take my description of his personality w a grain of salt #this intro is long and illiterate but i'll fix it at a later time

Reversing 29 years of self-perception

About a year and a half ago I decided to start my active journey of self-love, acceptance, and perception. I was tired of getting down on myself, putting myself down, letting my self-esteem hold me back from living my life, and attaining a self-image that really isn't realistic for me. The first thing I wanted to tackle was my health. I started lifting weights at the gym with my friend. It was really mild, we didn't do much, but just the act of going to the gym with my friend was a start. We all have to start somewhere!

As I started to become more active, I started to take friends up on their offers to go hiking (something I didn't want to do prior due to thinking I was too fat and out of shape, and lazy). One day my friend asked if I wanted to try Orange Theory. At first I was SO hesitant. I looked it up and saw that part of the circuit is to run on the treadmill. HELL NO. I still had PTSD from when I went running crazy and would run for two hours a day on the treadmill when I was in high school. After that I just told myself, running isn't for me and thats that. I decided to step out of my comfort zone and agreed to go. I know this sounds dramatic...but that day changed. my. life. I remember some of their beginning questions. “Do you work out often now?” Maybe 3 times a week. Hows that working out? At this point I looked at the guy thinking fuuuuck youuu what kind of question is that. But I was just being defensive because...It wasn't working out. I was at the heaviest I have been. Ever. I mean I felt better for going to the gym, but I wasn't getting the results I wanted. Then he asked me, “What are your health goals? Do you want to loose weight?” & part of my self love journey was to change the way I thought about loosing weight. I made a conscious decision to not aim for “loosing weight” I understood that being healthy was a lifestyle change. To have a goal to loose weight is not having a goal to change my life style. So my goal became making myself feel strong and healthy. And that has been my goal ever since, and still is. I hated EVERY minute on the treadmill when I took my first class. For all 30 min, I flooded my brain with negative thoughts and feeling angry that I agreed to come to this stupid class. When the class was done, I immediately signed up for an unlimited membership. I felt a high I haven't felt since high school. I felt positive, I felt optimistic, and I thought HELL YEAH, I can come here three + times a week! The negative thoughts and feelings that I experienced was the result of me being pushed out of my comfort zone. I resisted it mentally but decided that since I was already there, I might as well kindaaa try. But the endorphin high I received after quickly help me realize that I DID IT, and I can do it again! Lizzo also became a huge influence when she started rising in fame. I didn’t know about her before. I’m one of those mainstream junkies. Anyway. I read an interview where she explained the origin of “Truth Hurts” the break up song of the year. She explained that she wrote that song by going to her producer and venting about a recently failed relationship. He put her rant with a beat and there it came. She said it was a dark time for her, filled with self-doubt and depression, and yet she came up with an empowering song that helped millions of women lift their spirits when they did doubt themselves because of a failed relationship. I read that interview in awe thinking how crazy it is that someone can be at the darkest point in their life and produce the most empowering and inspiring songs. When she would speak at her concerts (I’m going to be dramatic again but its true), I would literally listen to her speeches and cry tears of happiness and love because of what she was saying. It really touched me so deep down into my soul and I want to say that has been a HUGE reason why I have been able to come so far in my self-love journey. I saw her, a big, beautiful woman. I didn't think she was fat, I didn't think she was unhealthy, I saw a beautiful woman full of confidence and purpose and I wanted to exude that same energy. That is when I truly started to look at my body and accept it for what it is. Before this, I have always wanted to get back to how I looked when I was 16. I finally realized, that is an unattainable goal, and thats okay. I was so unhealthy during that time. I counted my calories, I exercised every day with no break. There was a point that I was so obsessed, I would only eat 3 100 calorie yoplait yogurts a day and drink 3 5 oz wanters a day in attempts to not put on water weight. If I wanted to eat unhealthy food, I would chew the food, and spit it out without digesting it. THAT IS CRAZY. I was starving myself of food AND water. I never want to get back to that. That realization helped me with my relationship with food. I want to eat food that is helps build my body, is tasty, and I enjoy eating. I want to enjoy my food and I also want to eat food that helps me feel strong. So I do that. I eat healthy food. But if I want a fried chicken sandwich, I’m going to get it. And because I won't go on a strict diet my body will not be what it can be, and I’m okay with it. I like the body the way it is now, and am fine with sacrificing a banging bod, for being able to enjoy food when I feel like it. This is my life and these are my priorities. A year and a half later, I feel I have come so far. Yes I’ve lost weight. Don't ask me how much, because I don't know. I don't want to live my life by the scale like I did at the peak of my eating disorder. But you know what I have noticed? I feel stronger, I can do more things without struggling or getting out of breath, I can push myself further. When I run on the treadmill in OTF and I am able to bump up my speed or bump up my incline without taking a walking break I feel STRONG, and I feel ABLE. One of our coaches likes to say “Your body is capable of SO MUCH” and it “it is a privilege to move!” and, it is! Some people are not able to do everything that most of us are able to do, and I shouldn't take that for granted. I shouldn't dread getting out of bed in the morning to go exercise. I should be eternally grateful that I get to move. Some people don’t have that luxury, and sometime in the future, I will be able to less than I can now. I shouldn't waste my time now, while im healthy and able. I am so happy at where I am now. I feel solid, I feel strong, and I feel like I can do more. Even though we are on our second shut down, and our state has robbed me of not only my physical escape, but my mental and emotional escape, I will push myself to exercise, I will continue to keep going and do more. I have come to terms with what my body looks like and I am starting to not just, be okay with my body, but to love my body. I have come so far but have so far more to go. Loving yourself is a life long journey and I hope you all are on your way to the top.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 4 - The Intervention of Fate (Ch 15-18) + Overall Review

Seeing the destruction of Sector 7 alongside the sunset was really beautifully saddening. It’s devastating for Tifa and Barret to have to look over it all knowing that their actions caused this. Even if Shinra framed them for it, even if Shinra were the bad guys who killed all these people and everyone’s homes, there’s no doubt that what Tifa and Barret did ended up pushing them into doing this, and it’s hard to have to carry such a burden. On another note, I never thought I would complain about this because I loved the shipping fanservice in the beginning, but can we please calm down with the amount of times Cloud has to hold and save Tifa in some way?! Yes, I like Tifa too, but I’m not sure if there was a battle or scene where Cloud did not save Tifa/Aerith or hold their hand or something. Like yes it’s nice to see, but it’s honestly too much, I’m dying. I feel like a lot of the time it’s pushing the romance more than anything and it kills me because the original prioritised telling the story. And honestly, if you think about it, it’s kinda weird, they make it seem like Tifa and Cloud are really close friends who haven’t seen each other in a long time, but in reality they’re practically strangers in a sense because when they were children, Tifa never really thought much of him, the only time something about Cloud resonated with her was when he told her he was leaving to go become a SOLDIER and probably when he came to her rescue (fulfilling their promise) when Sephiroth slashed her. And it was only after she received letters from Cloud after he joined Shinra that she began to notice him more, so honestly, if we’re to be picky, this was supposed to be a more awkward period between Cloud and Tifa because Tifa liked and cared about him, but she didn’t know how to show it properly since Cloud always liked her but she never really cared. Whereas for Cloud, his memories are jumbled, so he’s awkward with her for a different reason lol. Anyway, I think I would have just liked more tension between their relationship? Because right now, it just feels like everyone loves Cloud because he’s cold but soft on the inside, so he’s a great cinnamon roll or whatever, but it really doesn’t show the depth to their characters and their relationships. I’m starting to think this remake is really just fanservice for old FFVII fans rather than a proper retelling. I mean, I’ll still like it, but it’s just a bit sad.

Well, Shinra Company is fancy. Tifa jumping on the lights to get the Shinra keycard was interesting but honestly tedious, I think I’ve had enough of these tbh lol. Anyway, I was going to run up the stairs in this remake, but then I realised the camera was making me feel sick so I just went back to what I did in the original; bust in the front door and go on the elevator lol. Although I have to say, I honestly enjoyed the original more where it had more of the feel where we’re busting in from the front door haha. That memorial museum was pretty, but honestly boring lol. Like, whyyyy is there so much maintenance going on?! I seriously thought they did a full on museum tour and I was like, that’s pretty cool, but no, I learnt basically nothing, sigh. Maybe that VR movie was cool to see, especially since it kinda explains that Ancients were the ones who discovered Mako energy and helped create materia, and I guess the graphics were pretty. But I think it felt like such a spoiler to show Sephiroth walking in the Shinra building, it just doesn’t really build any tension. I really only wanted to see the blood trail lol. Anyway, Hart is someone I don’t remember at all so I assume he’s a new character? Or is he that guy who you had to decipher those codes to or something? Haha. But anyway, I guess if he’s been changing the security camera feeds then does that mean Cloud and them won’t get locked up in a cell? Okay, the Shinra building was so… uneventful and boring lol. Like, I wasn’t exactly looking for a replica but I honestly thought it would be more…fun? It was legit so boring and so not memorable compared to the original. No code deciphering, no plate moving, no special treasure chests, no running past guards secretly, nothing! Literally just that Shinra training facility and other useless things like the museum and archives that don’t even have books to read! I think the most enjoyable thing was going around trashing the chairs everywhere because I didn’t even mean to move them, but Cloud running around just naturally destroys them lol. Yes, totally infiltrating “quietly”. But seriously, Shinra building is definitely a letdown right now. Scarlet’s ruthlessness was just...whatever too lol.

Sigh, I kinda really wanted to see the gym and the napping room lolll. I guess it was nice that we got to see them go through the air duct in the bathroom to spy on the President’s meeting, but stilllll. I mean, they didn’t even let me explore the women’s bathroom! C'mon! I don’t need this kind of realism in my game! I want to explore!! Maybe I’m just getting ahead of myself and it’ll be better.. Anyway, Hojo looks as creepy as the person that he is lmaoo, and being Reeve is suffering, considering he’s the only one that seems to care about the people. The idea of Hojo having all these monsters in his research lab is disturbing lol. I found the explanation and existence of the Whisperers…unnecessary, they’re basically things that are there to stop the party from changing the predetermined fate of this world. Like, I kinda knew already with considering where they always appeared etc but ugh. Oh well, whatever. Red XIII is pretty hot. He looks older than I thought though, he looks more like what I would expect his father to look like tbh lol, I mean Bugenhagen always said Red XIII was practically a kid in terms of his species lifespan!!

I’m sad that the Turks Theme doesn’t have that clicky sound to it that made it sound cool anymore, sigh. I’m also kindaaa disappointed that they seem to be pushing with the Turks the idea that they’re quite..nice? Like, maybe it’s just me, but despite how “cool and nice” the Turks were in the original, what I loved about them the most was their work ethic and how it’s a lot of dirty work, but it’s their job and they have a sense of pride to it. Whereas sometimes in this remake, I kinda feel like, they question their job too much when they know what it entails? Like, I really wanted to see Rude catch us in the elevator LOL. Anyway, Sephiroth appearing near Jenova and slashing the bridge they were standing on in retaliation of Cloud attacking him was interesting…not too sure what to think about it right now because it felt rather random tbh lol. I guess we are definitely not getting the jail cell time, which is more disappointing than the boring Shinra building tbh. Not only did the cell time really give you time to bond with everyone in their cells, it also really highlighted how sudden and scary it was to see a trail of blood, and all these Shinra company men’s bodies as you slowly climb the stairs to realise what happened.

Btw, lmao at Red XIII pushing down handles, it looks so awkward because it seemed like he was struggling so bad hahahah. The Drum was an annoying place, I hated changing materia around between the two parties. Like whyyy can’t I just change the whole line of weapon and armour materia (like in the original) instead of slowly doing it one by one?! Aside from that, this was a boring place too lol. I guess the only nice thing was seeing Tifa and Aerith get along so well lol. Anyway, Jenova’s blood trail was much more pretty and fascinating than ominous tbh lol, it really gives a completely different feel to the actual blood trail in the original. It’s cool in its own regards though I guess. Okayyy, wow, I’m starting to think that this is becoming pretty ridiculous. Like it was obvious Barret won’t die because you know, these Whispers know that it’s not his fate to die here, so of course they’ll somehow save him, but now it’s just silly? Like, sure it’s not his fate to die here but was Barret such a crucial person to the “fate” that can’t be changed? Anyway, so basically everything that happened in the original is probably the “fate” that must be followed, but at the same time they’re just changing up things to make it as convenient as they want to for the story. Honestly, that segment with Barret and President Shinra was so cliche, I wanted to bang my head watching it because it was so unnecessary. I think he should have just died like in the original. Like all the mental agony of saving him or not, and then President Shinra showing how much of a crap he is was just so ugh, like was that really important? What did we expect him to be like? Did we really need to see this? Even seeing the sword pierce them was so whatever at that point because I’m starting to think the story is realllyyyyyy getting “basic”. Also, showing Wedge being here but not being able to change or do anything because “he’s not a part of fate” was just ridiculous. Like seriously, we get it, don’t these Whispers have anything better to do? I mean, I really wouldn’t say that the original timeline is the best timeline to follow for this world but okay, whatever they want.

Anyway, I’m sad that Rufus doesn’t have orange hair!! Hahaha, but that’s fine, since he still looks pretty hot. I love how he still has his dog!! Rufus was so annoying though, like seriously, I’ve had enough of bosses that just counterattack you, and you have to find the exact moment for an opening to deal damage zzzz. Otherwise, it was really cool to fight Rufus, this was starting to become the only thing I was looking forward to lol. Kinda sad you don’t actually fight Arsenal(?) that robot in the elevator anymore though. The fight took so long because I didn’t realise what I was supposed to be doing lolll. Cloud is taking lessons from Roche in getting crazy with the motorbike haha, seriously though, the motorbike and the blue car is so nostalgic. I did enjoy how alike the original, if you bothered looking (well it was more obvious in the remake) you actually see the motorbike and the car in the building haha. Not sure about Cloud throwing his sword scaring off the Shinra soldiers though, like dude, your sword could have fallen out of the building! Anyway, I knew it was coming, but I honestly hoped it didn’t, and that is…the second round of the motorbike game!!! Yes, the thing I sucked at the most in the original and in this remake as well, and what do you know, they just upped the difficulty with a boss! Not gonna lie, I legit died a few times because I had no idea how I was supposed to kill him, and when I realised how to do it, my skills were lacking, so yes, it took me a while. I was pretty frustrated lol, I mean, snowboarding is my worst enemy too but I never had to do it more than once! This game is just bullying people like me who suck at this mini game, sigh T_T It is pretty cool though. HOWEVER, it would have made life much easier if Red XIII threw a potion at me whenever I was dying and not just in between the battles, sighhh~

Anyway, this whole going into another dimension that Aerith says will change the course of events where we’ll now forge our own destiny or whatever by killing the Whispers who are trying to convene fate to be as it should flow like in the original story is…weird to say the least of it. Sephiroth wasn’t too difficult to beat, but I found the whole fight in this place weird and cliche, with all the “memories” of the original timeline coming to Cloud and them, and for them to destroy all that to change their fate. Okay, Zack is alive? Like, I was kinda thinking it would be interesting and funny if Zack were to survive but hmmm, not sure what to think of it. Well, the different dog probably indicates it’s a different timeline/world but that doesn’t really stop the writers from creating a story where he can jump to their world or whatever. Biggs is alive? Is everyone alive lol? Like, I guess Cloud and everyone are planning to alter fate so ensuring everyone survives is what they want, but at the same time, I’m just baffled at this ending. I honestly don’t know how to feel about it. It really doesn’t help that the dialogue is so… bland? Useless? It’s so flowery with no substance imo. Maybe in the next part we’ll get to see Zack’s new world line from his perspective and then their worlds can connect or something lol. Anyway! I’ll say, I don’t like or dislike the ending because honestly, with all the changes that happened with the Shinra company, I already lowered my expectations to the max lol, it also helped the ending was kinda spoiled to me before I even played the game, so I knew it wouldn’t be a faithful remake, but is instead more of a FFVII-2 kinda deal. But I still find the way things played out really disjointed and cliche. The whole chapter 18 suffered the most in dialogue and story tbh, because honestly, I’m not sure if people who haven’t played the original would really get it, and would they really get the importance of Zack lol. It’s just annoying that they decided to throw all this at the end when everything else was Shinra and Shinra. And yeah, I see why they made the Aerith and Cloud “romance” so subtle you couldn’t feel anything about it, it’s probably because they want to make it more of a Aerith and Zack thing for this remake, which is understandable, but kinda saddening because that changes a lot of things in terms of how you’ll feel about it all.

Overall Review Overall, let me attempt to put together how I feel about the whole thing. Honestly, I’ve been thinking about how to write down my feelings for days or weeks but I still don’t know what to say of this disappointment LOL. Tbh, I think the thing I would have appreciated the most would be Square Enix telling me that this wouldn’t be a faithful adaptation of the original with HD graphics and extended story/scenes. Because if I didn’t have that expectation, I wouldn’t have felt as mixed about the ending as I am now. People seem to hate on people for being disappointed at expecting that it would be a faithful adaptation, but really, what did you want a lot of the old fans to expect? The game itself is riding on a nostalgia train yet it’s our fault for thinking it would be faithful? Even the Japanese commercial rode on the nostalgia train with a guy happily talking about the iconic scenes in the original and being excited that he’ll be able to experience the remake with people who don’t know it. They clearly wanted old fans to join the hype and then sucker punched them to the gut with the ending. Thankfully, I knew what was coming so I survived but honestly, aside from hopefully still getting to see other iconic scenes, I’m not really interested in how the story will play out. I hate stories involving stuff like time travel and branching timelines etc most of the time, especially when time travel is not the main focus of the story. This isn’t something like Chrono Trigger. I think my biggest problem though was that considering how much of a slow burn 80% of the game was, the fact that once we got to the Shinra building, everything just lacked detail and felt so rushed into that...ending. My biggest problem isn’t the ending itself, but how everything led to that ending, because it was really dissatisfying to watch. Like, honestly, on paper, it’s not a bad idea, it would be interesting to see how things could play out with the unknown etc, but really, the way they did it with the obnoxious Whispers throughout the story, alongside the out of nowhere ending really killed the experience.

I’m probably being whiny at this point but really, the main gripe I have with the ending is that it makes me think that the writers thought it would be “boring” to just redo the original with extended stories because “everyone knows the story already” kinda thing, and it also kinda implies as if the original was “perfect as it is”, which I honestly have to disagree with. I love the original FFVII but honestly, a lot of things could have been told better without feeling as disjointed as some things were, like it was nice to uncover bits and pieces etc, but a lot of things also relied on you yourself to find it, so it’s easy to miss things. For example, without a walkthrough, I honestly didn’t realise there was that scene in the Shinra mansion where you could actually see Zack die. I also feel like integrating Yuffie and Vincent in the story more would have been something good to focus on in the original because Wutai is important, the Lucrecia, Hojo and Vincent story is important, but because they were optional, it wasn’t always something people found. I just feel like for the story FFVII is, it was really unnecessary to make it more convoluted than it is, because now it’s just detracting from what made this game good. Like, maybe it might be interesting with this time travel stuff, but at the same time, this isn’t really FFVII anymore, all it has is iconic scenes in HD as fanservice. Which kinda makes me mad, because they so blatantly shove in your face FFVII fanservice for like 90% of the game and then they just show this ending, like okay. I’m not even sure the Weapons are that important anymore because who needs them to come out to protect the planet if the Whispers (like really, are they even dead?) are around? It’s just the stakes for everything have become so high where it’s involving fate and time travel etc. what is the point of the stuff that are limited to being inside this planet that is being controlled by the Whispers of fate? Well, whatever, I could complain all day here and I would still feel dissatisfied.

Anyway, nevertheless, I still enjoyed most of the game. I had my gripes here and there with the changes, but most of it was done really well, and I still liked it a lot. I mean, Wall Market is so beautiful and went beyond my expectations! The detail they put into the graphics and stuff really blew me away and I couldn’t stop taking screenshots. I also liked how they made Avalanche a bit more personal to Cloud. Although I really enjoyed seeing Aerith, Tifa and Cloud fanservice though, sometimes I felt like the scenes were just that, like just fanservice and it kinda got tedious. The side quests throughout the game were also quite boring imo. Like, I don’t expect anything groundbreaking from them, but they were really boring story wise and gameplay wise. The “puzzles” such as climbing across on those hand bars were so tedious and slow, I was annoyed lol, it’s so clunky to do! I’ll take the stupid crane any day. And the battle AI kills me. I know you’re supposed to swap between characters to build up ATB but man would I appreciate if the ATB charged up faster or if the AI wasn’t so useless. Barret not doing his job shooting sentry turrets and Tifa guarding against enemies not attacking her from ten miles away made me want to strangle someone. Like, it’s not terrible, but it definitely wasn’t enjoyable enough for me to care about playing hard mode. Lol, I’m back to complaining, but honestly, if I played the remake without knowing the original, aside from the graphics, I’m not sure if I was really into the story at all. Not saying it’s bad, but Midgar was always kinda like the beginning of the beginning so it’s really not that interesting in itself, and the bland story telling didn’t help imo, I guess the good thing was that it solidified everyone’s relationships? Anyway, I’ll still play the other parts because it’s FFVII but I think if it becomes something like Lightning Returns etc, I really just might drop it. For now, I’ll just go along with the ride, right now, things are just a 7/10~

P.S I think what I’m most sad about right now is that I won’t have the same feelings I had when I bought the remake. Since I live in Australia, the copies were sold before April 10th, so really, I cancelled my pre-order and went to the store and bought it myself after work. I was really excited to have it and get to play it because even though a lot of the things weren’t the same, it felt really nice to relive that experience of joining Cloud and them on their journey again. I really liked it and thought the reinterpretation to fit the more serious mood and everything was nice, but I’m honestly disappointed that I won’t be as excited to continue the journey in the next part. It’s the first time in a long time since I felt so excited for a game to come out, so it’s saddening, but I guess this is what it is.
