#trick question it’s the 16 year old

[megamindsupremacy]

You know, our natural assumption is that Peter Parker is just SO genius and crafty that at age 16 he developed a web formula in his high school chem class that even twenty years later teams of scientists can’t replicate with millions of dollars in supplies and equipment but like. No offense to Peter but no 16 year old in a high school chem lab could outsmart 20 years worth of technological process+the greatest chemists of their generation+millions of dollars in funding. My theory is that Peter’s formula is so basic (but ingenious!), using such shitty supplies and equipment, that no scientist worth their degree would even consider trying to replicate the formula with his methods. He accidentally took the Glass Onion route to outsmarting these guys which was “just go dumber” and it’s worked for literal decades

TSC SPOILERS

The abuse Jean went through at The Nest is really hitting me, honestly harder then the stuff in AFTG. I think it’s mainly because how outsiders see it. Like there never any questions about consent in AFTG bc it was so glaringly assault.

However in TSC there are these rumors spreading about Jean “sleeping his way to the top” and the Ravens had this open secret of him “fucking the defensive line.” That is what people learn first and it’s a very realistic portrayal of how sexual assault is viewed.

Thea saying “don’t tell me you’re up to your old tricks again” is HEARTBREAKING. So you knew a 16 year old was up to this and you didn’t stop to consider it wasn’t his choice?? BFFR

Riko knew what he was doing , sending Jean to their rooms and not making it so much of a spectacle. The discretion made it look more consensual, esp when his age (16!!!) did make the Ravens uncomfortable. Riko did that to undermine Jean, or else him joining the line at 16 could be seen more impressive bc of his skill.

Obviously theres a the cult mindset, people knowing where not to look and not question but even outside the nest it’s so prevalent. The slut shaming and the rumors and the judgement (FUCK LUCAS FR!!!) are so real. Ppl being like “no let’s not look at this child, this actual minor, and place our concern there. Let’s fucking blame him instead” AHHHHH

And for it to keep being brought up years later. Like besides Zane’s betrayal, the sexual abuse that we know of stopped THREE YEARS before Jean joined USC. And ppl will not stop bringing it up! Lucas cannot keep his goddamn mouth shut! Jean doesn’t want to talk about it. Jean would have basically moved on but PEOPLE WONT LET IT GOOOO

[blousemouse]

I'm a Thea hater for life what do you mean you see a 16 yr old going door to door having sex with multiple adult teammates and you don't question it once? And then you bring it up years later as his "old tricks."

A kid who she described as a little duckling following her around! And yet she's not concerned about this at all?

[onskepa]

Can we get a neteyam x human reader?? She's lyle's daughter, also human and made friends with spider. When lo'ak comes to save him, he wants to take her with him but she can't just leave her dad here

You can end it however you want

Hellooooooooooo sweetie~!!

So I hope you dont mind this being a short one, but its a good one! Enjoy~!!

Yewn

“Do you ever think we might see them…?” Young spider asks his sister at arms, Yewn. The young girl thinks about the question and shakes her head. “I don't think so, they are dead for a long time. It is like Jake said, good riddance” she replies. 

Both lay down on top of the old lab shack, staring up at the night sky. 

“They were bad guys, and killed a lot of the na’vi…” Spider says, convincing himself of certain feelings. 

“Exactly. So stop thinking about our dads, I bet they won't even care if they do come back from the dead” 

“Kid, you won't last another day if you don't eat, '' Lyle Wainfleet says. He bends down looking rather tired and slightly annoyed. 16 year old yewn just stared at him as if he was the worst shit on the entire planet. To which he is in her eyes.

“Fuck off” was all she says time and time again.

“Yewn-”

“Shut up, don't call me that. You have no right to call me that!” yewn yells at him in anger. A lot was happening in such a short time. Her friends were attacked and held hostage, went to help, spider’s mask broke, stayed behind to help him, only to be taken and be separated from him.

The room is cold, colder than the labs. Everything was so lifeless. She hated it.

But there is nothing more she hates, than the man, or dreamwalker in front of her.

“If you don't eat, you will die, '' Lyle tells her again. And again, yewn just hisses at him.

“Good, I would rather die than confess anything to you or that old bitch!”

Lyle rolls his eyes, hopefully quaritch has better luck than him.

Her plan was cut way too short. Spider took the lead in showing the recoms how to climb, run, and jump through the big vines and floating mountains. Spider was a true expert in that field, so yewn stayed a little more behind. By adding more pressure to the weak points of the vines, the goal was to tear some down but the recoms would step on them by their own body weight. Spider was doing the same, the plan was to have them all step in a weak vine so that they can fall to their deaths. 

Obviously that didn't work. 

Lyle was quick to catch what she and spider were doing. While he did not report to Quaritch what they were quietly doing, lyle took it upon himself to straighten the kids out. 

“If you want us dead, it will take a lot more than that” he tells Yewn. And yewn would take note of it. Next time, she will do better. 

“Getting the hang of it now” Lyle says as he flies on his ikran with yewn. The girl missed flying up high in the sky. The thrill of doing amazing tricks, how nete-

No, while Yewn is still in the human's custody, no thoughts of him will appear in her mind. Anything can happen and they can use whatever she accidently shares against her. 

Besides, there is something else occupying her mind and her full attention. 

“Come on bro! We have to get them, they are still on the ship!” Lo’ak pleads to neteyam. It didnt take much to convince the older brother, nodding eagerly, both head deeper to the ship to find their friends. All the while trying to avoid enemies all around. 

Quietly they climb up some pipes and hide, lo’ak points downwards to see spider and yewn being shoved somewhere. 

“We get it! We are going, fucking bastards” spider cusses at the humans behind him. Him and yawn look really annoyed, but oddly compliant. Taking the chance, the brothers jumped and began to attack the humans. 

Yewn and spider were surprised to see them but quickly catched on. Fighting as well, the four managed to take down the humans around them. Taking the weapons, neteyam, lo’ak, spider and yewn were armed and ran for the edge of the ship. 

“Come on, come on! We are almost there!” neteyam yells, shoving yewn forward until bullets were being shot. 

“GO GO GO!” spider yells, he and lo’ak jump first into the sea. But yewn and neteyam couldnt in time. 

“Yewn get back over here!” 

Neteyam turns to see a false avatar, his gun pointing at him. 

“I won't tell you again, come here now!” the fake shouted. Neteyam looks down and sees yewn shaking. Was it fear? Hesitance?

She was close to taking a step forward but neteyam stopped her. 

Yewn looks up at him, ready to cry. 

“Are you insane!? Lets go, he won't hurt you again” neteyam burgers her, shifting her closer to the edge but yewn fights back. “No no! You don't get it! I can't just leave him!” Yewn shouts. Her fear and desperation growing. 

“Yes you can, he hurt you!” neteyam shouts back. But yewn only looks back at lyle, their eyes making contact. Yewn knows he is silently pleading to go to him. That part yewn is afraid of. To go back to lyle means to go back to those horrid conditions the general had her go under. 

“No! I just cant leave him like this-” 

“And why the hell not?!” 

“BECAUSE HE IS MY DAD!!”

“Hey lyle-” 

“You know, you can call me dad if you like…” recom lyle informs yewn in an awkward way. Yewn looks up at him, almost in a disapproving look. There was a few seconds of silence before Yewn walked on the other side of the room, not continuing what she was going to say. 

Lyle walked over to see what she wanted to tell him. “Hey, im sorry, I thought that it-” 

“Would be easier for me? Think again, you are just forcing yourself. I will never call you dad. You don't deserve that title. Not now, not ever fuckface” Yewn states with disgust in her tone. Lyle sighed, hanging his head low. Just when he thought where was progress, he took 5 steps back.

“He is my dad….and I just cant leave him….” Yewn cries out to neteyam. This was massive news to him. But he concludes that staying in the massive prison was messing with yewns mind. Making her think things that are not true. 

If they weren't in such a situation, lyle would hug her and say sweet words in her ear. Finally yewn accepted him, but now there is a problem that lies between lyle and yewn. Just one bullet should be enough to take down that savage boy of Sully’s. 

“YEWN!” he calls to her, his daughter turns to look at him, her eyes distraught, not knowing what to do. 

“Please yewn, we are so close! Come on, he is not your dad! He is dead! I won't let you be surrendering to him or any evil sky demon!” Neteyam shouts loud enough for Lyle to hear. And it is ticking him off. 

Neteyam guide yewn close to the edge, their hearts racing. To calm her as he leads her to the edge, he places his hand on her shoulder, urging her more to jump. Neteyam can finally save her!

Yewn was looking down at the sea, her ears ringing. Could she go? Could she leave lyle and-

BANG!

Aaaaaaaaaaand that is it for this one! Hope you all enjoyed this one! Until next time! See ya!

[moonlightdancer26]

Can we all just agree that 16 year old Sirius tricking Snape into going inside the shrieking shack knowing that werewolf!Remus was inside it is horrifying and should not be cancelled out by the fact that Severus might have already known that Remus was a werewolf? Or is asking for basic human empathy too much work for Marauder stans?

The amount of people who’ve deluded themselves into believing everything that happened in that incident was Snape’s fault astonish me. That, alongside the excuses they make for SWM, make me seriously question how they actually treat irl victims, or whether they simply throw all common sense out the window when the victim in question is Severus.

Newsflash: Even if Severus 10000% knew that Remus was a werewolf, Sirius still deliberately led him into the shack, even when he knew there was a guarantee of Severus being either killed or infected. Both of which would not only end Snape’s life (either figuratively or literally), but would mentally destroy Sirius’s best friend (Remus) and possibly get him executed/imprisoned.

It was still extremely inhuman of Sirius to do, and he should have been punished properly. He was the one who revealed Remus’s darkest secret in the first place, the chain of events never would’ve been set off had he not told Severus anything. Saying “well Snape shouldn’t have-” is grade A victim-blaming. Perhaps Snape shouldn’t have done what he did, but that doesn’t make him any less of a victim, that’s like thinking a woman isn’t a victim because “it’s her fault for being out so late.” And do people not realise that Snape would have never even tried to figure out what Remus was hiding had he not been part of the group that “relentlessly bullied” Severus in the first place?? That’s not entirely Remus’s fault, but it definitely isn’t Snape’s either.

So, whether or not Snape knew, Sirius still withheld vital information that would’ve prevented a teenager from nearly dying, for the sole purpose of having a laugh about it, and he couldn’t even bother to understand what the consequences would mean if his sick prank had actually succeeded—for Severus, for his best friend, and even for Sirius himself. Severus potentially knowing is hardly pertinent, so stop clinging onto an argument that was never even confirmed or hinted at and start addressing your fave’s flaws.

Unveilings

First of all. You can find me as Pandorahero17 on AO3

Your boyfriend Aizawa notices that you haven't slept for several days. As the two of you have a heart-to-heart talk, you begin to talk about the support you give each other and something else.

You were sitting in your office working, grading homework that you had dropped off from the 1-A and 1-B students at A.U. Hero School, when suddenly you heard a light knock on the door. Aizawa was standing in the doorway of the room.

"You should be asleep by now," he said leaning against the door frame.

You looked at him before sighing and ignoring him as you turned your gaze back to the paper you were grading, the sound of footsteps followed the sound of the door closing. The man took your chin and made you look at his face.

"I need to finish grading" -With a sleepy voice you answered him.

"You're working too hard" -Said Aizawa still holding your chin and looking into your eyes with his irritated eyes, it would seem he was analyzing you, he let go of your chin before sighing and pulling away a bit- "Why are you working so hard" -He stated almost desperate for an answer.

You brought your hands to your face while gently rubbing your eyes- "Because I've been grading your work, it's all to help you, you've been too busy on missions you've been ordered to do and you haven't had a decent rest".

The red-haired man's expression turned friendly at your comment, he let out a slight chuckle before sighing and smiling a little.

"Why do I deserve to rest" - He asked raising an eyebrow looking at you as if there was a trick to your answer?

"Why? You're always guarding the city at night, you're an excellent teacher, you're also working and teaching the children" - Your voice comes out with tones of indignation - "And that's what I love about you." - The last you say with a soft tone towards the man.

"And what exactly do you love about me?" - Aizawa said smiling without looking away this time she spoke in a softer tone than usual. That question she asked you didn't seem like a trick, a trap or something like that, it seemed like she was genuinely asking you, her body was more relaxed, her shoulders were no longer tense, all that stress was suddenly gone.

Slowly you got up from the desk leaving everything there, you start to approach the red-haired man and hugged him- "Oh Shouta, I've known you since we were 16 years old" - You stand on your tiptoes to reach his face and start kissing him repeatedly all over his face. - "You are so protective, caring, understanding, an excellent hero and teacher" - You tell him between the kisses you give him.

Aizawa blushes at your words, he had heard them many times, but it was always different coming from you. The small soft kisses and the hug made him feel warm almost as if his body was getting warmer. He wrapped you in a hug and pulled you to himself before finely speaking.

"Is that all" -He expresses with his mocking tone, his grip on you tightened.

"Mmph"-You make a sound of affirmation as you let yourself be enveloped by his warmth. - "You're the best, baby."

"Mmph, you're the best, baby" - Aizawa said with a teasing tone in his voice. He pulled away from the embrace as he looked at you, his expression not really changed by the compliment. She smiled at you for a few seconds before she looked up and took your hand in hers and started walking towards the door. - "Why haven't you slept in two days" - The red-haired man asked you after a moment of walking in silence, He squeezed your hand to get your attention as he looked up at you waiting for the answer.

¨I know honey, I am your fabulous girlfriend" - you answer with a big smile, hearing again the question you explain why. - "I saw you so busy with the assignments you are given and I know that you then come very tired to grade the assignments you leave, so I decided to do it for you, but it seems to take me longer than expected. You make your class suffer with quite a bit of homework, but I understand your methods. - you mention mockingly.

Aizawa's expression became softer when he heard your answer, he was so used to people telling him that he needs to be less strict and that his students suffer because of it. For once, someone understood why he was like this, he was doing all this because he wanted to be the best possible teacher for his students.

"Well, they need to learn their lessons somehow so they can become good heroes someday" - Aizawa states with a small laugh on his face as he squeezed your hand. "Thank you for helping me."

"I don't see any flaw in your logic and I'll tell you a secret between us, I love to see them desperate when they ask for help with their homework" -You let out a small laugh as you remember a certain blond with an electricity quirk. - "No problem at all, love."

Aizawa rolled her eyes before giggling a little. - "So you like to see them suffer when they ask for help" -She said with a smirk on her face- "You're an evil being" -She laughed before looking towards you. - "I have to be hard on them to keep them from failing and becoming failures, after all, I want them to be their best. - He gave a small sigh before looking up at you and giving you a small kiss on the cheek- "Thank you for always being with me".

"It's a guilty pleasure" -You close your eyes as you feel Shouta's kiss- "For better or worse, sweetheart, but I think it's time to go to sleep, I think I'm going to start competing with your dark circles under your eyes and you, my love, need more sleep." -You grab his hand tightly to leave the office and go straight to their shared room.

Aizawa chuckled a bit as you spoke, maybe it's not so bad to make children suffer after all- "It's okay, they can keep suffering. I won't stop you from watching" -You managed to make him chuckle, he let you lead him to the bedroom before sighing and looking at you.

"Maybe I should quit my job and start being a househusband instead" - He joked, it seemed that he is finally starting to relax, the stress of days he had seemed to be gone, at least for now. I just wanted to be by your side right now.

The two of you enter your room, quickly changed and lay down on the bed- "Ah, then I'll buy you the best apron for my sexy boyfriend to welcome me back" -You exclaim excited- "God I already gave myself a mental picture, I think I'll have a wet dream" -You declare with amusement and insinuation.

The man's face turned completely red and he gave you a nervous laugh when you spoke frankly about your dreams. He gave you a playful little smack on your arm. - "That's not something to joke about, baby" - He commented teasingly, resting his head on his pillow to turn to you with his eyes closed as he waited for your response.

"Come on honey, if you put on the apron I'll put on the kitten lingerie you gave me on our anniversary" -You begin to settle on his chest. - "I think it's only fair, the outfit is brand new."

Aizawa commented laughing lightly when you made mention of the lingerie, with a slight blush on her face- "If you agree" -Commented with teasing in her voice, she opened her eyes, gave you a smile and kissed your forehead before speaking again- "Okay, but you can't make jokes when you wear it" -Exclaimed while stroking your long hair lightly with her hand.

"You're taking all the fun out of it" -You exclaimed with your eyes closed and letting yourself be petted- "Besides where did you get that tiny outfit from?"

"Well, I can't let you say something funny, we both know you'll make fun of me" -Aizawa chuckles lightly before his eyes widened comically at your question- "Where did I get the suit!"- He seemed surprised that you seemed to know, a slight blush came on his face- "You shouldn't have seen it!"

"If that were to become true, why did it mysteriously appear in my lingerie drawers?"-You exclaimed teasingly-"Is it that you wanted to see me in the lingerie on our last anniversary, with those tiny panties, tiny bra, with cat ears and tails?"-You opened your eyes without turning to your boyfriend.

Shouta's face turned completely red when you started describing the little outfit and yet he couldn't help but feel a bit excited and thrilled- "Maybe I did…" -He said with a hungry tone while looking at you with a playful and flirtatious expression on his face.

Following his game you started to say- "Mmm then we'll have to wait until the weekend when Eri goes out with the guys from your class, so we can debut the suit and maybe hopefully give Eri a baby brother" -You comment flirtatiously while caressing his chest."

Aizawa couldn't be more flushed, he felt nervous and excited as he watched you in the moonlight- "Excuse me what?"- Clearly nervous about this moment, he raises an eyebrow at you as his lips parted slightly.

"If you heard me that's good, if not, you'll have to wait until the weekend to find out what I told you" -with mockery you put yourself on the opposite side of him and cover yourself with your sheet- "He dreams very well, my love".

Aizawa started to feel sexually frustrated when you spoke teasingly, you were teasing him…but internally he liked it, he loved it when your his girlfriend teased him, even if it turned him on quite a bit- "And why should I listen to you?"-He exclaimed teasingly, he leaned closer to you when he spoke and started to nibble your ear playfully- "I think I prefer this more"-He gave you a slight choked laugh.

"Oh Shouta stop playing" -A soft moan came out of you- "I don't want our little girl to hear her parents having sex" -You start to give little sighs.

Shota smiles mischievously, he kissed your cheek and played teasingly with your nipple before he spoke again- "Well then you shouldn't have started playing…you know I'm flying crazy with you, love." -He exclaims as he leaned more over you, he kept giving you little kisses on your neck- "You know that if we keep this up I'm going to get you pregnant, right?"-His breathing was slowly intensifying.

"Shouta…If you get me pregnant you would make me very happy" -You were trying to moan softly.

Her face flushed again when you mentioned having a baby. That was something he never thought he would have because he was a hero, however, the idea intrigued him and made him feel happy, giving you a little kiss on your cheek and he placed you on your back while he settled between your legs, he leaned over you to whisper in your ear- "Is that what you want?" -I asked you lustfully while he started to play with your breasts.

"Yes" -With your voice full of assurance and love you said the following- "Yes, please fill me with your seed, baby, I need you." Shouta's face is completely happy. The words you said a moment ago were what he wanted to hear. His breathing started to become heavier with your affirmation. - "Okay, but on one condition" -I whisper to you. "Yes my love?" -You questioned.

"Marry me" -Aizawa whispered in your ear. There was no hint of mockery in his tone or a slight hint in his voice. He was completely serious about his proposal, he had been thinking about asking for your hand for so long and this seemed like the perfect time to finally bring it up.

"Yes" -You affirmed as you slowly covered your mouth with your hands and tears of happiness came out of your eyes, you began to nod your head repeatedly. - "Yes, yes I want to marry you, Shota."

Aizawa smiled softly and let out a small laugh. She wiped away your tears as she laughed, leaned over to you and gave you a small kiss on the lips.

"Oh, honey" -He said as he sat you on his lap and hugged you- "I never expected to make you cry like this" -He looked at you- "Are you happy?" he asked with a soft and comforting touch.

"God Shouta, you've made me the happiest woman" -You answered his hug and sobbed into his chest again- "I love you so much". "Well, it doesn't seem why you're sobbing now" -Shota mentions before chuckling lightly as he held you close to his chest. He hugged you back and sighed before speaking again. - "I love you too, sweetheart" -He said gently caressing your back, he smiled softly again and kissed your head before speaking again- "So, are you sure about marrying me now or…?" he asked with a slight teasing tone in his voice.

"Shh Shota, let me enjoy this moment" - Your voice came out a little hoarse but calm, as you gave him a light punch on arm. - "I love you."

"Can you make me a promise" -He asked you softly as his hand caressed your hair before he spoke- "Please stop working late" -He said with a soft tone of voice while kissing your forehead.

"Okay, I promise" -You say exhausted by this talk- "But you also have to promise to sleep with me and eat something more decent than your jellies, hey, I don't want my husband to get tired before giving me a baby.

Aizawa laughed lightly- "Don't worry love, I promise you everything you ask for" -He started kissing you again and pulling you closer. He wanted nothing more than to fall asleep with you right now. Just the fact that he could finally say you were his fiancée and future wife made his heart fill with a new warmth he had only felt twice, the first time when they became sweethearts, the second when they legally adopted Eri. When he spoke to you again, he did so in a soft voice. - "I love you" -With her tone of voice back to its normal state, her eyes had a gleam of happiness in them.

"I love you too" -You replied in your tired voice. - Goodnight sweetheart…-Slowly you began to drift off to sleep, but with a smile on your face.

The black-haired man hugged you as he watched you sleep, he was so happy to be able to call you his fiancée and future wife. All he wanted at this moment was just to have you close. He leaned in and gave you one last kiss before finally closing his eyes and falling asleep in your arms. His breaths became deep and even, as he slept, a sweet smile came over his face. A smile filled with the happiness of love for you.

I hope you like it, it's been a long time since I've done this. There is continuation with smut in Ao3 <3

[hazbinhazbinhazbinreblog]

This convo idea came to me. Not seen or stated in convo but, they are in Radio Guard Al's radio tower while he fiddles with his equipment for a broadcast. (Warning from maybe semi graphic description of murder?)

HS!Alastor: So uh asking a totally hypothetical question, one TOOOTALLY not based on any forms of personal experience or what hahahah BUT! Like, if you did, which you know, who knows, maybe you did, maybe you didn't but..uh..umm, again hypothetical, did you ever kill a parent? Preferably, your dad? Again all hypothetical because pfff, who would-

Radio Guard!Al: Oh yeah I did. Not as a child though. It happened after my mother lost her battle against tuberculosis. Nasty thing, attacked the poor things lungs until all that came out of her was a wheeze.

HS!Alastor: Did you not live with him as a child? If you uh, don't mind me asking of course. You can just ignore if this gets too personal hahaha.

Radio Guard!Al:....I did. He walked out on me and my ma when I was...15 or 16? Surprise he didn't do it sooner, the fuc- //clears thorat

Radio Guard!Al: He was...a horrible man. A power hunger monster who seemed the thrive when people were scare of him. A glutton and a hag. He would yell to get his point across and if not that he resorted to threats. You name it, he probably threaten it. All to keep us under his thumb. He find any reason to punish. Any. //deep breath

Radio Guard!Al: But like I said, he walked out when I was old enough I guess. Heard years later he became a born against Christian, HAH. Just more ways to make people fear him I guess, instead of threats with his fist, it was threats of God. Not like his precious Lord did much for him, not after I found him. Fucker didn't even recognize me! I think every higher power I got all of my mother's looks and only the bastard's hair color when I was alive. He didn't even recognize me, not at first, but when he did it was already too late as he was already grasping for air in the baptism water. Didn't kill him at first or maybe it did, but I was so blinded by pent of rage from the years of tyranny I experienced all I could see was red. Took the nearest object...think it was..the chalice you drink wine from and just whaled on him. Didn't stop until the smell of copper hit my nose and I look down and his head was completely caved in. //coughs

Radio Guard!Al: Apologizes, apologizes. I didn't mean to get into too much detail on myself and my fatherly kill. You asked a simple, if not, curious, question and I went a bit too detail. Will add to wrap this up by saying I was lucky enough to be allowed to kill him more than once as you can guess he was sent to hell. So I am one of the few who can brag and say I killed him twice ahah! I do hope that answer you question.

HS!Al: Y-yeah it does, but I have one more, if that is alright...

Radio Guard!Al: Of course! Fire away my little me.

HS!Al: Do...do you regret it? Killing him?

Radio Guard!Al: Regret implies I felt anything towards that monster. The only thing I regret is drawing out his death more, so it may be as torturous and as slow as he deserved.

HS!Al: O-oh,,,

Radio Guard!Al: I believe I hear your Vox calling for you. I do very much apologize if I spook you, but if I may, can I leave you with a bit of advice?

HS!Al: Uh,,,sure! As you said, fire away

Radio Guard!Al: Do not feel like you need to shed tears for that monster nor feel pity towards the what ifs on what he could have been. Men like him, even if given the right tools to change, never will, not unless they know it will benefit them. They are selfish to their cores, and the world is better off without them. You can pity them, you can be anger at them, it's only human. But remember the pain they infected onto you so your heart never tricks you into believing you regret it, because that will only hurt you more in the long run.

Radio Guard!Al: And remember, you have a better head on your shoulders than the most of us. You are nothing like him nor like us, you will go far, child. You will burn brighter than the stars themself. Now run along, don't need your Voxxy worrying into an early hellish grave over ya!

HS!Al: Y-yeah,, yeah! Um thank-you, bye-bye //runs off

Radio Guard!Al, watching him run off: Maybe I have grown soft, or maybe I have just grown fond of the local youth as my time as a stand-in father, but I'm rooting for you. And please...do not end up like any of us,,,

well, this ended angsty oop -⚔️ anon

That was extremely painful but also probably something HS!Alastor needed to hear, harsh but comforting at the same time in its own way

Found an old interview Gillian did as the original series ended. Love that her top 6 memories are some of the most iconic romantic MSR moments 💜

—————————————————

March 2002

Question: Now that the X-files are ending, can you tell us what are some of your favorite memories of working on the show?

GA: Some of my favorite memories of working on the show (and not necessarily in order of importance or weight or much of anything but the order in which I remembered them.)

1. Directing "all things."

2. Singing 'Jeremiah Was A Bullfrog' to Mulder in "Detour".

3. Shooting "Triangle."

4. Shooting "Cops."

5. Shooting the kiss/bee scene in the movie.

6. Shooting the scene where Mulder shows Scully how to hit a baseball in "The Unnatural."

7. Shooting "Bad Blood" but especially the autopsy scene.

8. Doing the elephant autopsy in "Fearful Symmetry."

9. In the first season the crew used to crowd around a t.v. screen on Friday nights and watch the show over lunch. That was fun and exciting for us.

10. I remember when the casting director told me I had the job after the final network audition and I had to drive a fellow auditioning actress that I knew back to her hotel knowing that I had the job and not letting on or being able to talk about it.

11. Shooting the graveside scene in the pilot in forced freezing rain at some ungodly hour in the morning and trying to remember my name let alone whole paragraphs of dialogue.

12. Shooting scenes in the snow in Vancouver wearing a skirt and high heals and trying not to slide down hill...or having to use an umbrella so that my hair did not have to be blown out before every take.

13. Telling David in his trailer that I was pregnant and him telling me that he felt his knees buckle. Blue, as a puppy was lying sick on his bed behind him, having just been spayed.

14. Watching Jim Rose do his famous genital tricks in his trailer during the shooting of Humbug.

15. In one of the very first episodes, there's a scene where Mulder and Scully are to look at red lights in the sky that may be UFO's and follow their flying path. David and I were standing on a windy hilltop looking out onto the pitch black heavens with the cameras on our faces and being directed where to look in EXACTLY the same place at the same time (up down left right)...but with NOTHING TO LOOK AT AS A GUIDE! It was absurd.

16. Shooting Scully and Mulder's final kiss scene at the end of "Existence."

17. Shooting the dance sequence at the end of "The Post-Modern Prometheus."

18. I remember sitting at a wooden table with David on the set when Pendrell was shot, and David telling me about this date he had with a woman whose name he would not tell me, but it was kind of like the tea that you drink.

19. Sitting in a luncheon booth on the North Vancouver lot with David Nutter and for the very first time going over a script with a director beat by beat and how exhilarating that was to be creative that way and have someone care what my feedback and impressions and instincts were. The script was "Beyond The Sea."

20. Shooting the scene where Scully's stomach is pumped with air in an abduction sequence and trying not to reveal that it was actually a pregnant belly being shot. I'll have to show that scene to Piper one of these years.

21. Lying in a hospital bed on set ten days after giving birth to Piper. Hooked up to tubes and wires and drifting in and out of sleep while they shot around me and being wheeled to and from the bed in a wheelchair. Surreal. I'd just been there!

22. Shooting a scene in a rowboat in the middle of a lake all by myself for hours and my lactating breasts getting so swollen that I thought I might explode.

23. Shooting a scene in an episode about cats where Scully has to be attacked in the face by a cat but I am allergic so they built a cat on a stick covered in bunny fur whose arms could be operated by some poor special effects guy. So here I am "struggling" with this fake bunny/cat in my face pretending to get scratched and be terrified when the fake fur keeps sticking to my lipstick and going up my nose and Kim Manners and I cannot stop cracking up at the ludicrousness of it all.

24. Lying on the floor eight months pregnant and being pushed by someone across the floor to simulate me "crawling" because I was so big and my belly was in the way and I could not do it myself. I think it was "Duane Barry."

25. Sitting in the back of a jeep on one of the stages pretending to be attacked by imaginary (CGI) green bugs who are going to cocoon us and suck our life out of us...flailing away at them with all my might and then whenever we cut, turning to a big garbage can to my left and throwing up because I had horrible morning sickness.

26. When Chris Carter walked into my hospital room a day or two after Piper was born and was stopped in his tracks by the sight of this living being propped up beside me. We sat in silence for a long time.

27. Talking to Chris on some payphone outside some restaurant a couple nights before I was to go back to Network for the final audition, and him giving me notes on how to dress more 'streamlined' for the Network Execs... I borrowed a suit.

28. Talking to David for the very first time outside the audition as he chatted up the girls, and commenting on the fact that I was from N.Y. and not really meaning FROM FROM, but the disappointment which flashed across his face when I qualified that I had only actually lived there a couple years. He moved on to someone else.

29. Experiencing Rob Bowman directing for the first time, setting up elaborate shots and the crew standing around thinking what is this new guy doing spending all this time with these fancy angles...cut to...the established norm. And thank God.

30. The last day of shooting in Vancouver when the make-up artist had to redo my make-up three and four times before every take cause I was crying so much. I imagine the same will be said in a little over a month. We won't get anything shot.

The End

GA: I know it seems ridiculous that I might only have thirty memories over nine years but I am afraid that is the best I can do and still have you all read it before the end of the month.

Happy late Birthday! Speaking of birthdays did you know Na'vis don't celebrate them. The closet things they have as a birthday is when a Na'vi reaches to a certain age of maturity.

So basically, Spider has never celebrated his birthday. I could imagine the recoms having a conversation about someone upcoming birthday (Lyle, Mansk, Z-dog, etc.) and Spider will have no clue on what they're talking about. This shocks everyone, Quaritch the most. He'll really have it out on Jake as no one celebrated or gave him a single childhood wonderment. In the end Quaritch and the rest of the recoms will do a little surprise birthday event for him and it'll definitely impact on Spider a lot.

Spider headcanons 🎉🎂 birthday edition 🎂🎉

when he was a toddler, none of the scientists were really sure when his birthday was. The birth had been kept quiet by higher ups in the RDA, and no one was supposed to talk about it before the battle, so there was no written record of the birth.

Norm eventually decided that they had to find out somehow, so did some digging and found out it was a March birthday (I'm biased so what) going by Earth's calendar. It took him some time - he had to go through all of Paz and Quaritch's old video logs and diary entries, assess the calendar, pick out key events that could hint as to the exact date. Even today, he suspects he knows the date but there is no actual, written conformation of Spider's birthday anywhere. They celebrate it on the 25th - Norm's best guess.

As Spider gets older and more independent, the scientists start to forget more and more about his birthday. He's never had a cake, never had anyone sing to him. Some of the scientists he was closest to make him a card every year, but if it wasn't for Norm they'd never remember. So Spider never really sees the joy in it. For him, it's just a painful reminder of Paz, the woman he lost and longed for most in the world.

One year (when he was 14 or 15) Norm mentioned to the Sullys that Spider's birthday was coming up and that maybe they should do something special. Jake of course knew the importance of birthdays, coming from Earth, and enjoyed explaining the custom to his kids. Kiri made him an intricate feathered arm band, and Tuk carved him a simple but beautiful bead for his hair. Spider was overwhelmed and speechless. He thought that night that maybe, just maybe, he belonged with the Sullys.

The next year came and went and they forgot.

After Spider got captured by the recoms, Quaritch eventually decided to work out just how old Spider was, and in doing so, realised that his birthday was already coming up (the 26th). The kid would be 16. He didn't know why or how, but he knew he wanted to mark it somehow.

He confided in Wainfleet, who suggested that Quaritch just do something simple and effective. Something meaningful that would show Spider that Quaritch really cared about him. Quaritch knew this was the perfect time. He secured the knife that his human self had carved almost 16 years ago (though it felt like only a few weeks), and offered it to Spider on the evening of his birthday.

"What's this?" Spider asked, frowning as though it was some trick.

"Take the knife, kid. It's just something your old man made you after you were born." Suddenly Quaritch got rather self conscious and pressed the handle quickly into Spider's hand. "Happy birthday."

Spider's eyes widened as though he'd forgotten. Maybe he had. "It's the 26th," Quaritch said, trying to prompt Spider.

Spider frowned. "The 26th?" he said, confusion etched on his face. "My birthday is the 25th."

Holy shit. Understanding swept through Quaritch immediately. Of course, there wouldn't have been any formal confirmation of Spider's birth, so he couldn't actually blame the lab coats for getting it wrong. Even still, it was pretty sad that the kid hadn't even been sure of his own goddamn birthday.

Quaritch corrected Spider, and that opened the door to a whole load of questions. Mainly about his birth... and about his mom.

The recom spent the majority of the rest of that evening patiently answering any questions that Spider had, and Spider could have kept going all night. This was the most answers he'd ever gotten. He couldn't stop himself - it was like Pandora's box. For the first time in forever he felt connected to Paz, learning all about his birth - what his possible other names would have been, whether they knew if he was a boy or girl, how much he weighed, the fact that he had almost needed a c-section, how much Paz held him when he was born, what Quaritch's reaction was, what the RDA's reaction was.... Spider was taking it all in like water in a drought.

The other recoms all gathered round too - hearing Quaritch reminisce was comforting and entertaining to listen to. Some of them had even been there at the time.

Of course, the answers are all given through Quaritch's lens, and Spider didn't miss the details that the colonel skipped over (like the fact he obviously wasn't at the birth), but all the same he listened eagerly with stars in his eyes until eventually, he fell asleep dreaming of Paz.

[sugarywishes]

In regards to the whole Gregory is GGY thing, I'm just blue screening since if that's true, Gregory is apparently what, 15 to 16 years old by the time SB starts for some reason?

Stares at the child

You telling me this eight year old looking tot is 16??

Nevermind how he even got brainwashed to begin with, or even broke free (since neither are even mentioned "at all"), I'm just...what?? XD

But as for the actual question. Cassie and Gregory friendship headcanons? Any you might have?

oh my God I GENUINELY FORGOT that people think he's actually a teen in SB 😭😭

Like sure, there are definitely teenagers who are...puberty deficient. (Aka those small ass teens who still look like they can pass as trick or treaters even at age 17) but even then at SOME point they're bound to properly hit puberty, if we are to presume he's like 15-or 16, okay. HE'S STILL SMALL! He likely doesn't have the strength of an almost grown man BECAUSE OF HIS BODY MASS! Just drop kick him I don't understand how these grown guidance counselors died 😭😭

And you raise up a good point, how DID he get brainwashed? I'm gonna also assume Fazbear Entertainment didn't let a minor beta test this game (because of legal issues or such) so how did it happen? And HOW DID HE EVEN GET OUT ACTUALLY?? Was it the power of friendship like Ruin implies is now CANON TO FNAF?? (GlamFred had to sing 'A true friend' from MLP to save Gregory trust me I know /j)

Speaking of friends, let's get into the hcs!

Cassie and Gregory Friendship Headcanons!

(I know I usually put emojis here but I couldn't think of any atm :( I'll edit this later)

- They both already didn't even have friends before they met eachother, mostly because Gregory was homeless but for Cassie it's just cause she was surrounded by some FAKE ASS BESTIES 💔💔

- So they quickly got attached to eachother lmao

- Cassie and Gregory would've totally done makeovers and nails (probably during Cassie's bday at the Glamrock Salon) (I'm sure if they older she'll start using him as a test dummy for makeup ideas 😭)

- speaking of them getting older, I know it's (probably?) A popular hc that they would get romantically involved. But I just don't see it, they will stay as a bestie unit 😎

- if they did to trick or treating together, they'd do duo costumes. But not like the fictional best friend costumes like Sonic and Tails or Mario and Luigi (sometimes yes) but they'd do the rival duo costumes!! Like Sonic and Shadow or Batman and Joker, they just think it's funny

- They'd also do candy trading (Gregory loves chocolate and Cassie loves sour candy!!)

- They would totally play fighter games in the arcades like Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter just to battle eachother 😭 Cassie spams buttons and Gregory actually finds certain moves to use to win (it ends up being a 50/50 tie for them usually)

Thanks for asking! If you want more just ask!!

I can’t tell where the journey will end But I know where to start

Prequel to my Kid Buggy fic, set about 11-ish years before that story.

Buggy meets you by chance when he needs his buttons sewn back onto his jacket. He’s young, up and coming, and he thinks everyone should cower before him wherever he goes, but all you do is smile at him.

Rating: PG-13ish just for some swearing. Warning: Buggy’s in his early 20s. I also gave him some anxiety and stuff because while he’s in love he doesn’t believe someone could love him back. He just has a lot of uncertainty with romance. A/N: Meet the Family plus one that isn't really nice. I finally caved and was kind to Buggy when it comes to romancing Sunny. End of the chapter mentions sexy times but nothing graphic at all. I just realized maybe I should take pity on the fool.

Title comes from “Wake Me Up” by Avicii.

Chapter 16

Buggy couldn't fathom the amount of cousins you had.

They were broken into four age groups apparently. The 18 and older, the 12 year olds to 17 year olds, the 6 to 11, and the babies to 5 year olds.

The five and under thought Buggy was so cool and wanted to touch his face, hair, ask if he knew tricks since he looked like a clown, and when he resorted using his Devil Fruit to pick a grabby three year old up and hand the child to you, they thought he was even cooler.

The 6 and 11 age group felt they were too old for clowns and weren't really impressed that he was a pirate captain, but when he used his abilities to get their kites out of the branches of a tree and even some toys that ended up on the roof, they decided he was okay.

The older two groups mostly judged him because he was marrying their favorite cousin (you were somehow everyone's favorite in the family and Buggy fully supported that). Some of the male cousins tried to give Buggy the whole “you hurt her you die” talk but he wasn't actually intimidated by that at all for once. Found it to be more annoying than anything.

He would never hurt you in any way.

The female cousins thought you could do better, honestly, though they did ask what his hair care routine was when they saw how long and wavy it was (Buggy refused to tell).

All in all, meeting the cousins went better than expected.

He still had to meet your aunts and uncles. You told him it should be a little less stressful than the cousins, but when your dad mentioned the hot spring that all the uncles would be going to with some drinks, he insisted Buggy come along. You weren't there to help so he had no choice but to go with Blue.

It… it was weird. Buggy somehow was surrounded by all of them, each staring at him as they enjoyed their drinks. He didn't even try to drink yet, too nervous watching and waiting for one of them to ask something but they just stared at him.

“So, our little Sunny is engaged to a pirate captain.” One of them finally said (Buggy couldn't even begin to remember names right then). Buggy could only nod, unsure if this would lead to additional questions or what.

“How long have you been a captain?”

“How long have you been a pirate?”

“You better take care of our niece or else.”

Almost the entire hour spent in the hot spring went like that. Buggy barely spoke despite being in the spotlight. Blue actually did most of the talking even though he really didn't know Buggy well, but it sounded like he asked Sunny similar questions and got some answers and well, Buggy appreciated it. He had no problem being front and center when he was on his ship but off it, surrounded by this family, he was out of his element and hating every second of it.

A tiny part of him was starting to regret agreeing to coming here with you so early into the engagement since that had become a focus of a lot of conversation, but when he headed back to the main house and saw you with your cousins, holding the ring up that he gave you with a big smile on your face, he realized he could tough it out. It had only been a few days so far.

“Buggy, follow me.” Blue said as he put his hand on the young pirate's shoulder and steered him into the house. “I don't know if my daughter told you, but after Windy and I got married, we became jewelers.”

“Huh…” Buggy only nodded, not sure why that mattered. He was led into a tiny workshop where Blue turned the lights on, giving Buggy a view of everything.

Various tools, materials, stones, everything you would need for that kind of business filled the space of the small room. The worktop has dents, scratches, some scorch marks, showing years of love and hard work. There was a bright red cloth with two rings resting on it. Buggy picked one up to look at it, almost dropping it when he saw a tiny little engraving of his jolly roger on it.

“What is this?!” Buggy demanded, wondering if Blue was copying his jolly roger for some reason.

“Well, after you two showed up and told us the happy news, I started working on wedding rings for you both.” He chuckled, suddenly looking nervous and uncomfortable. “My wife sketched out the designs and I've been working on them the last few days as a surprise, but I realize now that that's silly because you probably have something better for the two of you.”

No, no he didn't. Was Buggy supposed to? He figured the engagement ring would be enough but was having a separate ring for marriage a thing? He was also thrown off by the fact that these rings were made in such a short amount of time. It was thoughtful, touching, but Buggy didn't know what to make of it. He set the ring back down and looked up at the older man.

“We… have to have a ring for marriage?” That was the question on his mind. He didn't have rings yet, he only had the (stolen) engagement ring so hearing that there was also supposed to be a wedding ring on top of it was a little much.

To his relief, Blue just chuckled, clapping him on the shoulder. “Only if you want! You're a pirate, I'm sure you have your own traditions anyway. I just wanted to give you a gift for taking such good care of Sunny this last year. I figure you're someone special by the way her eyes light up when she talks about you.”

Buggy scowled as his cheeks burned. That wasn't the case, you took care of him. He didn't do anything worthwhile to earn the love you have for him. Why would you tell your father something different? He didn't say anything, looking back down at the rings. They were a simple band, practical for working on a ship, but he wanted something a little more to it.

“If you already have something, I understand! I know this is a bit sudden.” Blue assured him. “And if you don't like them, I'm okay with that too!”

Buggy hesitated. It was thoughtful but it was missing something.

“No, they're… fine.” He told him, jaw clenched as he looked down at the rings. “Can you just add one thing?”

~

“Yea! We can have the wedding while the whole family is here!” 

Buggy spat out his drink while you choked on yours. Your mother's sister, the second oldest, heard that you wanted just your parents and someone to officiate and well, she didn't like that idea. She wanted to see her niece get married, why couldn't everyone enjoy it? 

“We'll find an officiant, we have the space to have your fiancee's crew join us so long as they behave and we can make the reception the big family dinner we always have!” Your aunt Stormy continued. Buggy was against the idea, was ready to say so, but you took his hand and gave it a squeeze.

“We just want to keep it small.” You told her, glancing over at Buggy. “The reception can be a party, but… we just want a small wedding.”

“Nonsense. You have a huge family, Sunny, and we want to see you get married.” Stormy said, shaking her head. “We won't take no for an answer.”

“‘We’?” You repeated.

“The rest of us aunts and uncles want to see you get married. It's not fair if we don't.” Stormy chuckled. “You're the first of the kids to get married, it's only right that the rest of us get to see it.” She glanced over at Buggy. “I imagine it will be quite a spectacle going by how your fiancee… is.”

“W-What-”

“I don't know what that's supposed to mean, Aunt Stormy, but the wedding will be small.” You told her, fixing your aunt with a look that told Buggy that the conversation was over. “Me, mom, dad, Buggy, and some of his crew. That's it.” You tightened your hold on Buggy's hand. “Please excuse us.”

You didn't wait and dragged Buggy away. He noticed you were tense after that, but you also jumped to his defense before your aunt could make any other jabs at him. Spectacle? What kind of spectacle was she expecting?

You dragged him into the house, relieved no one else was in there. Everyone was outside socializing. You took his glass and put it in the sink with yours, huffing in frustration. Buggy was both a little nervous but intrigued to see you frustrated, especially since it wasn't directed at him.

“Of course she would go against our wishes.” You muttered as you started washing the glasses. “Makes it all about herself. She just wants a reason to dress up and will end up making it about her. We are not having a big wedding. I don't want it.”

“Babe?” Buggy asked carefully. 

You looked up from what you were doing, frustration in your voice when you asked, “What?!”

“D’you want to… take a break and go to the ship?” He was hesitant to even suggest it, figuring you'd rather spend time with your family than with him, especially since you have spent so much time with him already. You stared at him in surprise and he started back pedaling immediately. “I mean, this is your family, and I know you want to spend time with them, so I shouldn't have even suggested that, babe. Forget it. We can stay. I don't need to go, y’know, I just wanted you to, uh, have…a break?”

“No, no, Buggy. That's a good idea.” You told him as you dried your hands. “We just have to sneak down to the water. Who knows what my aunt is saying about the wedding now.”

Oh, that was a good idea? He was pleased with himself, smirking at you as he leaned on the counter. “Yea? Maybe we come up with other good ideas while we have some alone time.”

You grinned and tossed the dish towel aside. “Oh, and what kind of good ideas do you want to come up with, Captain?”

“We’ll just have to see, won't we?” He looked quite proud of himself for being flirty without something happening to him for once. “I'm sure we'll come up with something, babe.”

~

Something was you and Buggy in bed, naked and tired, both of you not sure how long you were in there for, both too distracted by each other to really care about time anyway. You had initiated it after Buggy made some joke about getting naked and you didn't hesitate in stripping down in front of him, grinning at the blush on his face and how wide his eyes got up on seeing you naked for the first time.

Now he was a little hesitant. You had said you weren't disgusted by his body upon knowing of his Devil Fruit powers, how limbs and parts separated when he needed them to, but he suddenly felt a little self conscious, so you walked over to him and kissed him, pulling at his clothes to encourage him. He never did this before, you had said the same, but like everything with you, he wanted it to be perfect.

He knew what to do from stories he heard growing up from the Roger Pirates and you knew what you wanted from romance novels you used to read to pass the time at the shop. And while Buggy took charge, he listened when you gave him directions on where to touch, kiss, everything. Hearing how you moaned and whined, panting his name between little gasps spurned him to make sure you screamed his name in the end.

And he was impressed he managed to keep it together when he was finally inside you, holding back to keep from finishing too quickly. There would be other times, sure, but this was the first time for both of you, and you were letting him touch you, pleasure you, and he needed it to be perfect for you. He was so in love with you.

And after all that, he was in your arms, head on your chest as your fingertips stroked down his spine while he made himself comfortable. 

“We should probably make an appearance before they come looking for us.” You sighed, making no effort to move. “I just don't want to.”

“We can stay here. The crew won't let anyone onboard.” Buggy mumbled back, eyes closed as he sank into your arms.

“I would like that since the second my aunt sees me she'll want to talk about the wedding, which is the last thing I want to do with her.” You kissed the top of his head and closed your eyes. “It's kind of late, we can make an appearance tomorrow morning. I just want to spend time with you right now.”

“Yea?” He lifted his head up, eyes wide in surprise. “You’d rather spend more time with me?”

You opened your eyes and looked at him with a frown. “Of course I would. I love you, Buggy.” Touching his cheek, you gave him a kiss as he wrapped his arms around you. “I love spending time with you.”

“Your family-”

“Yea, I'll see them tomorrow. I want to spend time with you right now.” You assured him. “Get some rest, honey.”

He nodded, settling back down with his head tucked under your chin, closing his eyes as you pulled the covers up over the two of you. He was more than happy to be in bed with you for the rest of the day, just spending time with you, not having to be surrounded by everyone else and their questions about himself and the wedding. 

Maybe Buggy could convince you to stay on the ship for the rest of the reunion.

🍕 - What is their favorite food?

chaos energy... although he's always had a soft spot for green apples and will still eat them sometimes just for fun, even though they don't do anything for his undead stomach anymore. same deal with green apple lollipops. he's big on those. and the caramel apple lollipops too!

💼 - What do they do for a living?

i wouldn't really call it "a living" but he DOES work for eggman. since eggman is the one who revived him, he kinda feels like he owes the guy.

🎹 - Do they have any hobbies?

he REALLY loves to scare people. he gets a kick out of people's terrified reactions to his undead appearance. he goes about it in a really hammy, halloween-haunted-house type of way. in fact, i can imagine him hiding IN a haunted house, pretending to be an animatronic or something, but nope! there goes his head, rolling on the floor...

one of his more mundane hobbies, though, is something he carried over from when he was a live--magic tricks! specifically card tricks, and other relatively simple sleight of hand stuff.

🎯 - What do they do best?

fibula is super strong! he can flip cars with his bare hands. he wasn't always this strong, but being undead has its perks.

🥊 - What do they love to do? What do they hate to do?

he likes to cause problems on purpose <3 it's exciting for him to see the pandemonium that ensues. a big part of the reason why he stays with eggman is because it's FUN for him to be a villain.

on the flip side, though, he also loves to take naps. this dude would marry a sunbeam if he could fr.

as for what he hates to do... probably think? haha. but really, to slow down and actually think about stuff agitates him a lot.

❤️ - What is one of your OC’s best memories?

a lot of his time spent alive was pretty bleak. he doesn't look back fondly on most of it. however, any memory with his sister he holds close to his heart. she was his sunshine in an otherwise gray life. sometimes, he wonders what happened to her... but then he forces himself to stop thinking about it.

✂️ - What is one of your OC’s worst memories?

dying. even though he's glad it happened, it still wasn't fun in the moment. he's thankful his zombified body can't feel pain the same way it used to, so he never has to experience agony like that again.

🌂 - What genre do they belong in?

horror... and comedy

💚 - What is your OC’s gender identity and sexuality?

he/him menace, interested in whatever can get his adrenaline pumping the fastest

🙌 - How many siblings does your OC have?

just one, a sister named femur.

🍎 - What is the OC’s relationship w/their parents like?

nonexistent. they're dead.

🧠 - What do you like most about the OC?

his design + concept! i'm really proud of how it turned out, and i think a pink zombie hog is a really interesting idea that could totally fit into the sonic world with how i've incorporated it via chaos energy. :]

💎 - Do you ever see yourself killing off the OC?

hahahaha

💀 - Does your OC have any phobias?

yes, two. the first one is flowers. and the second one is buses. i also have this thing i like to think about where he's scared of amy, specifically because of her name (rose) LOL

🍩 - Who is your OC’s arch-nemesis or rival?

shadow t. hedgehog babey!!!

🎓 - How long have you had the OC?

since 2020, so for 3 years :)

Hello hello ophe 👋😇

Just gonna say hockey bro Gwen

That it’s that is the ask

But I have a question? If you mind answering I’m fine if you can’t answer it really 👽

Do you have any writing tips for an amateur fanfic writer? (Me😔) cause I have a hard time with characterization. Just tips on that would be great😊 but it’s kinda sad to see that some people think of Rice Krispies like that even though it has been tagged and all that 😔

But I wish you the best of luck ophe! 😎🥳

-Ass Stars anon

Hello hello, Ass Stars Anon! 👋😊

(Is it obvious that I know literally nothing about hockey?)

As for writing tips, I'm not exactly a qualified or professional author, but I'm more than happy to share some of the tips and tricks I use when it comes to characterisation.

Primarily, it's really important to understand three key aspects of the character you're writing; their habits, their motives, and their temperament.

When you're writing for a certain character, always consider not only what they're doing, but why they're doing it. You can have your characters do something entirely OOC if you can justify why they'd be doing it, either through circumstance or by utilizing the three key aspects.

For example, when Trent gets uncharacteristically aggressive towards Cody in "Up the Creek", it's still in character because it's motivated by his feelings for Gwen- Trent's already established as a bit of a hopeless romantic, so having him act irrationally due to his uncertainty over Gwen's returned feelings excuses his hostility (despite his usual laid-back nature). We see later, especially in Action, that Trent has a habit/tendency of acting irrationally when it comes to anything that threatens his love life.

Of course, habits can also refer to the little patterns and behaviours certain characters have; for example, Harold's continuous use of "Gosh!" is a habit of his- something that can be easily identified as a Harold Behaviour, and something super easy to add to his dialogue to keep it feeling in character.

Another good example of utilizing dialogue habits is (not to self promo here) how I write Alejandro's speech in my stories. Throughout the show itself, you'll rarely hear Alejandro use contractions and abbreviations (he'll say "we all" instead of "we'll", or "is it not?" instead of "isn't it?"), and his manner of speech is very formal (for a ~16 year old) both due to the fact that English is his second language and the fact that he's the son of a high profile diplomat. That's why, when I write for him, I make a point of keeping his written dialogue as contraction-free as possible.

I hope that my little tangent there helps at least somewhat!

And thank you for the concern! I think some people misconstrued what my intentions were with the RK fic, which is understandable given one of the primary concepts used in the fic is generally used in a sexual context (which is such a waste of a perfectly good plot device by the way! Honestly, I wish people would stop associating cool concepts with The Horny to the point where people trying to explore them as narrative devices are assumed to be creeps ��) but the anon who initially accused me of unsavoury things has since apologised, so no harm no foul. Though my fic is properly tagged, I should've made it more apparent either in the summary or the author's notes that it isn't as, uh, 'distasteful' as some might assume.

I wish you the best of luck too! 😁

My take on an Older Max, continuing the Camp Camp adventures.

Big ol' backstory/ headcanon under the cut

Max starts working at the camp at 16, when he ages out of being a camper.

He's 17-18 in my drawings.

He's either emancipated or maybe kicked out of his parents place, but he's happier for it, even if it does still sting

Max goes to camp every year after his first one. His parents don't stop being absent and neglectful, but having camp during the summer gives him something to look forward to. He knows he has people that care about him. Like in the last episode, he's grown to love the people there and the camp itself.

David, Nikki and Niel are also there every year. Nikki and Niel keep in touch year roundas they get ildef and get call phones. They become the family he chooses.

Max grows to be even more clever and confident and just happier with himself over all.

I imagine he's the one that ultimately figures out how to keep the camp afloat and eventually tricks negotiates the sale of the camp to David so it can stay open.

Nikki and Neil decide to become camp counselors too. Nikki because she is a natural and Neil because he is ride or die for these two. And nowhere else allows him to go wild with his questionable scifi science

Plus it beats the hell out of retail

There's a revolving door of co-ouncelors over the years until the trio are old enough to work as co- councelors.

Even more vaugely- and blatantly- supernatural stuff throughout the years.

Max is an awesome councelor when he puts in the effort and a lot of the campers love him.

I love Gwen, but she deserves her dream job and I'm happy to see her move on, so she's not really in this Au? Post Canon? Whatever it's called.

A lot of the other OG campers do return over the years, but not all of them and not every year. By the time the Trio are councelors they've all pretty much moved on except for David. This is hos camp and he still loves it

how do mafia Svet and Mickey meet? are they instant bestie worsties or does it take some time for them to grow on each other? does Svet interact with any of the Gallaghers or just Mickey? (I also need you to know that firefighter Debbie is INSPIRED and I adore it.) how do Mickey and Ian end up getting together—is it a meet cute, a meet ugly, or maybe it's through Mandy somehow? and speaking of, how does Mandy fit into this au? (I love this whole au concept and I hope you don't mind me asking all the questions!)

okay okay. much to think about. i do not mind all the questions in fact i love them im so happy that this au has resonated with people!! i have a lot of thoughts so forgive me for the long post.

svet and mickey met in their late teens (she's like 19, he's about 17) i think. she was living off survival sex work, much like in the show; the person she worked for directly was operating under terry. mickey came in at some point to collect dues and while he was there an argument started up between svet and her client. he got in the middle of it, both for money's sake and because it's shitty to act like that, but the fact that she was willing to take on this 6'3" dude impressed mickey. the fact that she chewed him out for scaring away her client pissed him off, but the whole event was a foundation of rapport between them. every week when he came in for terry's fistfuls of cash, they would chat, and it developed into proper frenemy-ship. for both of them, it was nice to have a confidante as well as someone who was willing to call them out on their bullshit. the rest is history basically.

as far as their interactions with the gallaghers: fiona actually sees very little of either of them. she spends more time around colin, who's in charge of the gambling ring. mickey and svet are an implied presence. post-college loan, it's svet who sees lip and carl a lot - she's way less likely to outright threaten a cop when they come knocking, so everyone (gallaghers and milkoviches alike) tries to make sure she's the spokesperson. debbie doesn't have a ton of contact with them, but when she does, it's mickey, hightailing it away from burning buildings or cars or barrels. she keeps her mouth shut.

and of course, ian.

well, okay, let's start with mandy actually. i mentioned confidence tricks in the other post - this is mandy's jam. romance scammer of epic proportions. catfish, yeah, but also blackmailer and high-end pickpocket (think that robbery mickey and ian pulled in s4, but often subtler). the long-con stuff didn't start until she was old enough to pass for 20s, but she swiped her first wallet when she was 12 and has been living for it since then.

her first meeting with ian is very much like what happens in canon: she flirts with him in school, takes it a little too far, and he brushes her off. he comes out to her pretty much immediately, though, and they resolve to remain friends. around winter break that year, when ian is 15 or 16, the gallaghers hit a rough patch - this is before anyone has steady jobs, and a strike by hurricane monica leaves them barely scraping by. so mandy offers to talk to her brothers about finding work for ian. this is how, five years before he's allowed to drink, he ends up bartending at a mafia front.

ian and mickey are, by gallavich nature, deeply messy for a very long time. their first time is a late night at the bar; it’s nearing the end of the night, things are starting to clear out, but mickey is hanging around and he's being a dick. he's rowdy, loud, angry about something and mouthing off to just about everyone, ian very much included. ian's fed up with it - tells him to shut the fuck up, get the fuck out, or if mickey's really that pissed, give him an hour to close down and they can hash it out. so mickey shuts up and waits. as soon as everyone else is gone, mickey is swinging; it’s a pretty evenly matched fight, but ian gets pinned to the wall. there's a couple seconds of charged eye contact......... and then mickey's fumbling with the button on his pants and ian's shirt is off and okay, fuck, they're doing this.

their fuckbuddy era lasts until ian quits to go to emt school - they go a couple years without contact, but things do pick back up. but that deserves its own post.
