Portal to My Heart (Book 3) Chapter Ten

Loki x Reader

Chapter Ten: For the Plan

Summary: (Y/N), Timely, Ouroboros, and Casey work on the Throughput Multiplier, and Loki and Sylvie have a necessary talk.

(Y/N), Loki, and Mobius appeared in the War Room. Their regular clothes returned, and they looked around. Timely was already gone, obviously already exploring the TVA and slightly nervous to face them. They quickly walked outside and saw B-15 standing in front of Timely. He flinched upon seeing them.

“Just stop,” he said when they approached. “What do-What do you want from me?”

“Come with us, and we’ll show you,” said Loki.

Timely shook his head. “That didn’t sound as reassuring as you hoped it would.”

“Listen, Professor, I can only imagine what Renslayer and Miss Minutes have been saying about us, but it’s not true,” said Mobius. “Unless they said something good. Here’s the deal. You have to trust us, and we don’t have time.”

“I’m from Chicago, friend. The schadeocracy capital of the world. I don’t trust anyone,” said Timely.

“You can trust us. I swear,’ said (Y/N).

Timely hesitated and looked at her. He remembered very well what Miss Minutes had said about his variant offering control of the TVA to (Y/N). That had to mean something, and (Y/N) had spoken sensibly during the fight…so maybe he could trust her a little bit.

All of that consideration went out the window when he saw Sylvie. “O-Oh, it’s a party,” he said nervously. “Hello. The more the merrier. And you all want me. Miss Renslayer wants me. The effervescent clock-lady monster thing wants me. I should have some say.”

“I agree,” said (Y/N). “I think—”

She winced and held her head. The constant buzz of her headache had strengthened suddenly, and at the same moment, the lights of the TVA flickered and a low rumble echoed through the halls.

“Is that…my Loom?” asked Timely.

“Yes, that’s your Loom,” said Loki, but his focus was more on (Y/N) as she straightened and pressed her fingers to her temples.

She shook her head and focused. “Mr. Timely, you’re the only one who can fix it. Please. Just come and take a look.”

Timely swallowed nervously. “Well, la-di-da.” He agreed to it.

“Here, this way,” said Loki as they walked out of the library. (Y/N), Mobius, and Sylvie trailed behind them.

“So, I built all of this?” asked Timely, looking around himself. “Or, I did? Or I will and I did?”

“A version of you did,” said (Y/N) as it that any more sense.

“Can’t we just take a look around?” said Timely curiously.

“No,” said Sylvie. She wanted to keep a close eye on Timely and keep him on track so he couldn’t do any damage, which she feared.

“Trust me, it’s not that great, and we don’t have time,” said Mobius, redirecting him.

“We’ll give you a tour after we’re not all gonna die,” chirped (Y/N).

“Oh, alright,” said Timely as they walked into R and A where Casey and Ouroboros were hard at work trying to find their own solution.

“Victor, this is Casey and OB,” said Loki, gesturing to the pair.

“OB?” Timely straightened in surprise.

“Ouroboros,” clarified (Y/N).

“Ouroboros?” repeated Timely excitedly.

“Yeah, that’s me,” said Ouroboros.

“You wrote the TVA handbook,” said Timely. He pulled out his copy.

“Well…Yes, I did.” Ouroboros smiled shyly. “But I learned everything I know from a brilliant nineteenth-century named Victor Timely. If he’d had the resources, he would have been bigger than Einstein!”

“Oh, god, it’s cyclical. No Timely with Ouroboros’s handbook, no handbook with Timely.” If (Y/N) didn’t already have a headache, she would’ve developed one trying to figure that out.

Ouroboros’s eyes widened and stared at Timely. “What did you say your name was?”

“Victor,” said Timely shyly, and Ouroboros gasped excitedly.

Adorable. They’re fanboying over each other, thought (Y/N).

“Which one came first?” muttered Loki.

“It’s like a snake eating its own tail,” said Mobius.

That’s ironic, thought (Y/N). She glanced at Loki. “Hey, did you know that Norse mythology had the world serpent eating its own tail as one of your children? That and a giant wolf and an eight-legged horse.”

Loki frowned. “I think I’d know if I gave birth to such creatures. Just mortals telling tall tales.”

“Well, it’s not as if you haven’t done some strange things,” said (Y/N).

“Hey, focus,” said Mobius. “And please stop talking about that.”

“I really don’t want to imagine any sort of variants of us being involved with the antics of the Greek pantheon,” muttered Sylvie.

“Mr. Ouroboros, would you autograph my handbook?” asked Timely nervously.

“Only if you autograph mine,” said Ouroboros.

They traded pens and handbooks.

“I was living in your engineering descriptions,” said Timely.

“Me? The way you explained the electric bypass system—”

“The bypass,” said Timely, brightening.

“—pure poetry.”

“Guys, sorry to break up the bromance, but can we fix now and sign later?” remarked Sylvie.

“Yeah, let’s go,” said Mobius.

“OB, how’s it going?” asked (Y/N).

“We have a-We have a good plan,” said Ouroboros with not a little doubt.

“Okay,” said Loki, ready to hear.

“It’s a pretty good plan,” said Ouroboros. “We have a plan. Casey?”

Casey ran over and helped pull a sheet off a model of the Loom monitoring station and the Loom itself.

“Here’s a model I mocked up of the Loom. Forgive the shoddy and slapdash work,” said Ouroboros. “It’s not to scale. I only got one coat of paint on there. I haven’t been able to carve out figures to represent all of us.”

“The Loom,” said Timely, looking at the model replica.

“I’m honestly embarrassed that Victor’s here to see it,” said Ouroboros.

“He loves this, OB, don’t worry,” said (Y/N). “It looks great.”

“Alright. What’s the plan?” asked Loki.

“It’s simple.” Ouroboros put a little carving of the space(time?)suit on the pathway to the Loom. “One of will have to take our Throughput Multiplier down the gangway, load the Throughput Multiplier into the launcher. Then, they’ll need to hit the green button and launch it towards the Loom. It will dock with the Loom where it will scale the Loom’s capacity to manage the backlog of branches that was created when—” Ouroboros stared at Sylvie “—someone killed He Who Remains and released all those branches and ruined my life.”

Sylvie shrugged and put her hands on her hips. She was proud of what she’d done. It had been necessary.

“Hang on,” said Loki. “What’s the connection between the Throughput Multiplier and the Loom?”

“The Throughput Multiplier will widen the rings of the Loom to let more branches through,” said (Y/N) succinctly.

“Exactly!” said Ouroboros.

“When did you learn that?” asked Mobius.

(Y/N) gestured to the window. “Before the blast doors closed, it was pretty damn obvious. You could see the branches squeezing in.” She huffed. “Probably hurts the Loom as much as my headache hurts me.” It’s like my brain is getting squeezed. “Anyways—” she shrugged “—more space means more branches can get through with the Loom handling it.”

“But there’s one gigantic problem,” said Ouroboros.

“Big,” said Casey.

“When isn’t there,” sighed (Y/N).

“What’s that?” asked Loki.

“There is much, much more Temporal Radiation through here—” Ouroboros gestured to the gangway “—than when you went out there, Mobius.”

“Yeah, so much more,” added Casey.

“More?” Mobius shivered. Last time was bad enough with his skin possibly getting ripped off.

“Yes,” said Ouroboros.

Mobius inhaled and exhaled. He coughed. “Okay, well, I mean, Loki’s really gonna have to hoof it then, right?”

“Hang on a second. Why is it suddenly me having to ‘hoof it?’ ” said Loki.

“Well, because it’s your turn,” said Mobius as if it was obvious.

“Says who? Why? Why is it suddenly me?” said Loki.

“Well, because this clearly isn’t me,” said Mobius, picking up the carving of the timesuit.

“Just because it isn’t you, it isn’t me,” said Loki.

“It’s got your shape,” said Mobius.

“It’s got my shape?” said Loki. “It’s a suit. Could be anybody.”

“I could go. I’m fast and good with technology,” offered (Y/N).

“No!” said Loki and Sylvie simultaneously.

“Uh…It doesn’t matter who it is. It’s doable,” said Ouroboros. “But the person just needs to be super fast.”

“Okay, great. So, what are we waiting for? Let’s do this,” said Sylvie, ready to get it over with and get Timely out of the TVA.

“There’s another problem,” said Casey.

“Yay,” said (Y/N) sarcastically. “What now?”

“This whole plan is only theoretical because our Throughput Multiplier does not yet work,” admitted Ouroboros.

“Why?” asked Loki.

“It doesn’t work,” said Sylvie sarcastically.

“Wait. Let me guess,” said Timely. “The Loom’s Temporal Decay outpaces your Multiplier’s throughput capabilities.”

“Every time, yeah. How did you know that?” asked Ouroboros.

“Because I had the same problem with my Loom,” said Timely. He pulled a small device from his satchel. “Until I made this. It’s a prototype. Still.” The device whirred to life and began spinning.

“OB, it’ll work?” said Loki.

“Integrating them, if that would even work, would take a long time,” said Ouroboros.

“Yeah, a long time,” agreed Casey.

“Mr. Ouroboros, if anyone can, it’s us,” said Timely.

“Right.” (Y/N) nodded. “We can all work together.” She glanced at Loki, Mobius, and Sylvie. “Okay, well, maybe those three shouldn’t be as involved in the technology part, but they’re good moral support.”

“We’ll give you space to focus. I know these two can be distracting,” said Mobius, gesturing to Loki and Sylvie.

Loki looked offended, and Sylvie just rolled her eyes. But they got up and followed Mobius all the same. Loki cast a last look over his shoulder and smiled encouragingly at (Y/N) as she took her place beside the rest of the technologically skilled.

“Alright, let’s have a little pie while we wait,” said Mobius as he, Loki, and Sylvie left the others behind.

“Pie?” snapped Sylvie, turning on him.

“Yeah,” said Mobius.

“What is the matter with you?” questioned Sylvie. “You dragged me back here begging for help, so you must have some idea of what’s happening. Everything is turning to shit, and you want to leave it to them while we go and have some pie?” Mobius stepped back at her harsh words. “Great idea, Mobius.”

“Sylvie, wait,” said Loki sharply.

“No, I won’t wait,” said Sylvie fiercely. “Come on. Let’s go and get some pie. Why not? It’s a great idea. Does it matter that the branches are dying?! Clocks don’t tick at the TVA, do they?” She took a step forward. “You found out you’re a variant, and you haven’t even looked, have you?” Mobius looked down. “It’s just another bad day at the office for you. Timelines are just lines on a monitor. Doesn’t matter if a few disappear. As always, (Y/N) is the only one of you who actually cares for anything,” she spat. “Because she sees those timelines as hers. You haven’t even bothered to look at which one is yours. Who cares if a few just disappear?” She glared at him and Loki. “Enjoy your pie.” She turned and walked away. Mobius stood there silently, and all Loki could do was squeeze his shoulder and follow Sylvie to speak to her again.

“You’ve got to be kidding me.” Sylvie cursed as she found herself in the pie room. She turned to leave and came face-to-face with Loki. “I took a wrong turn,” she said shortly. “I didn’t plan on coming to pie land.” She watched as Loki sighed and walked farther into the room. They circled each other silently. “Say it then.”

“About Mobius…” began Loki. The Loom and the TVA rumbled around them. “He’s just trying to see in the dark like the rest of us. And so we’re clear, I asked for your help, and you walked away.”

“Just so we’re clear, no, I didn’t,” retorted Sylvie. “I’m here, aren’t I? Again!”

“You’re only here because you couldn’t kill him,” pointed out Loki.

“Yeah, I couldn’t kill him,” said Sylvie. “Couldn’t do it.”

“Because (Y/N) is right,” said Loki. “Timely isn’t He Who Remains.”

Sylvie swallowed. “He just looked so scared. He Who Remains wasn’t scared.” She paused. “Maybe he was, and I just didn’t notice.”

Loki was silent for a moment. “Some years ago, my brother was banished from Asgard and sent to Earth. And when he came back, he was different. Changed, somehow. I thought it was weakness. I mocked him.”

“Soft gets you killed,” said Sylvie.

“Listen, Sylvie, you spared Timely’s life, and because of that, the TVA and those timelines will survive,” said Loki. “Those people will survive. You spared their lives, too.”

“You’re talking like (Y/N),” said Sylvie, trying to scoff but unable to sound anything but burdened. “You put a lot of faith in her.” Sylvie’s gaze turned hard. “But don’t forget Dox. She’s part of the TVA, too. All those dead branches, those dead people, that’s the TVA’s fault.”

“What about those branches that are still living?” said Loki. “That’s because of Mobius and B-15. And OB and Casey. And (Y/N).”

“What if you’re wrong? What if you’re wrong to believe that this place can be any better?” demanded Sylvie. “What if I was wrong to spare him? It would be easier to burn this place down and start from scratch.”

“Sure. Burn it down. Easy,” said Loki. “Annihilating is easy. Razing things to the ground is easy. I learned that long ago. But trying to fix what’s broken is hard. Hope is hard.”

“Okay, so Timely can save the TVA,” said Sylvie tiredly. “Then, we hope that the TVA turns into something good. Then, we hope that Timely doesn’t turn into He Who Remains or someone worse. That’s a lot of hoping, Loki. I didn’t have you down for an optimist.”

“I’ve never been one,” admitted Loki. “But there are some people who have helped me see there is more than pain and loneliness in this world.”

“(Y/N),” said Sylvie. She sighed. “(Y/N) is…Look, she’s just one person. The TVA is so much bigger than that.”

“But you know that she would die before she let anyone take free will again,” said Loki.

“She wants the TVA to exist,” said Sylvie.

“Because if people die, they can’t live free lives,” said Loki. “And you have to admit that she’s right.”

Sylvie was silent before speaking. “How does she find it so easy? To see what’s right?” She looked at Loki. “It’s always so hard for us, but she seems to do it so easily.”

“I don’t know,” said Loki honestly. “But I’ve seen her fight for what’s right, for freedom, time and time again. It doesn’t matter if it’s me, He Who Remains, or anything else. She will always stand to give as many people as she can the freedom to live.” Loki smiled. “It goes beyond a want. It’s what drives her. It’s like her heart itself is made of freedom and longs to share itself with others.” Loki’s gaze met Sylvie’s. “Including us. She freed us.”

Sylvie scoffed, but it sounded more like a sob at the truth. “I got my freedom.”

“From the TVA. But (Y/N) saved us from ourselves.” Loki’s eyes softened as he thought of (Y/N). “She showed me that I was just a man, but that was enough. She treated me as she treated everyone else, and yet I never felt so seen. After eons of being in my brother’s shadow, unwanted and overlooked, I was seen. (Y/N) freed me from shackles of my own creating.” Loki looked at Sylvie. “And she freed you from loneliness.” Sylvie scoffed and looked away, but Loki just smiled. “She did the same with me. We were both solitary creatures, but she showed us companionship. Sylvie, we may have free will, but our hearts are free because of (Y/N). That is why I know that free will won’t fall again. Because people will always rise up for freedom. And (Y/N) will be at the forefront of that fight.”

“You love her.”

Sylvie’s words hung in the air, spoken quietly and yet carrying such power.

“I do,” said Loki. He smiled. “And you love her, too.”

“Yeah. Yeah, I do.” Sylvie sighed and felt her heart clench. “We’re fucked.”

Loki chuckled. “We were from the moment we met her.” He smiled. “But I don’t regret it for a second.”

I caved. I watched Loki S2

Loki season two was fine but too many of you are being insufferable about the series itself and its lore. Timelines and universes are not interchangeable things–a universe contains timelines according to the series' lore itself and I don't understand how people do not understand this. MCU Loki now holds the timelines of 199999. Quit throwing the 616 thing around (looking at you Feige) and talking about "worlds". Variants are the same people across timelines according to logic, that's why some of the Lokis in S1E5 (iirc episode number) made no sense–Mobius did.

The first season remains one of the worst things I've ever had the misfortune to see, so to say I'm pleasantly surprised by the second is something.

Be warned–pleasantly surprised does not mean "omg it's perfect" it means "I did not expect this measure of respect for character and narrative, there's some good points and there's definitely bad points".

Still, the first three episodes were boring. The narrative in them and in some places of the second three was clunky. Things were underexplained and impersonal, both rushed and scattered. X-05 did not appear outside of the first season premiere, not even the first season proper (according to the internet because I indeed had zero recollection of him and refuse to rewatch S1) yet the second season treats him as if the audience is familiar with him–and it's confusing as heck. I cannot even properly recall what exactly happened in those episodes because it was so clunky and scattered and half explained. Especially the characters and their goals and stakes. I barely cared for Loki's, let alone anyone else's–well except Ouroboros. I love that guy.

Wow, we have to save all these freed timelines? Sure. I mean it's the right thing to do, so let's do it. It would've been so easy to actually get the audience to personally care–have Loki realize in those infinite timelines, there were some he could be happy in. His mother, his brother, even his father to whom his attachment is not resolved, there had to be timelines where they were happy and safe, perhaps even with him. In some of those timelines, Loki gets his revenge on Thanos, he gets to heal. He comes to term with his birth and heritage, he remedies the wrongs he has been done and has done to others in turn. Yes, those timelines deserve to exist, because Loki should know he deserves to be happy too. His "friends" too. Those stories deserve to exist.

Speaking of under-explained... so at one point Loki just... gains control over time jumps? Like that? Did I miss something in the whole thing? Like if it's because it's him, according to The Who being what is important ("in magic", I would have expected) then say it.

Some pieces were predictable. The whole interrogation of X-05 match one and two, the ending path itself (I was surprised by the tree thing though), Loki pruning himself (did that scene really need to be drawn out like that? We get what's happening, get on with it).

Some pieces were drawn out like the self-pruning, like retrieving Victor Timely. The whole time I was like "You've seen him, you can block objects in mid-air and teleport people in cages, snatch him and throw him in a portal so he can see the TVA instead of just talking to him and convince him–why does he need to be convinced?? Show him!!?" Details like these, like the machine that makes the shrinking cubes being left at all in the cell, Ravonna not actually looking to see if any other minutemen were considering her offer before compressing them all (I guess they had to slim down the cast, but man), Loki the Jotun with super strength having to run kilometers to catch one human–silly.

Things that were left out–Thanos, completely. The Jotun heritage. Loki being the scapegoat child in the narcissistic royal family, all his conditioning. It is said he wants a throne, it is never acknowledged why: being groomed to do so since childhood through mentions he was born to be a king, upbringing, education, treatment by family and society. The gender fluidity and sexuality, though with the MCU's regard for those things, it's likely better they left them alone–though the lack of shapeshifting was miffing. New York was handled better than I would've expected, but still breezily.

Now to be fair, many things were good. B-5 outright stating that the pruning the TVA does is an atrocity and convincing others. I'm ambivalent about Loki and Mobius–their relationship in the first season was a terrible one, but they genuinely roped me in in the second. Some things were funny in that delicate way that doesn't need clownery and one-liners that I'd been missing ever since the first two Thor movies. Ouroboros (especially in episode 5–ouch, too close to home). The soundtrack, amazing. The acting came across as more heartfelt. I even managed to tolerate Sylvie in the last few episodes–and oh yeah, leaving romance of any kind out, completely. Thank fuck. Loki actually being the main character of his own series. The fifth and sixth episodes. The sets, the props also felt real. The final outfit is growing on me. The dialogues, the interactions, the camera work, my gods, some parts were amazing. I am willing to rewatch it to make more sense of things, and look at other MCU works to see if it will impact them. I had given up on the MCU–Loki roped me in, Loki gave me back some interest when I thought it was dead for good.

Oh I'm still mad all my searches for comics appearances are cluttered with MCU stuff. I'll be mad until it calms out. "What if it never-" then I guess I'll never stop holding a grudge and complaining.

In the end, I'm just glad Loki got his not-terrible ending. I don't like that his final choice and chance was to sacrifice himself and all his needs for others, sitting in a tree holding the 199999 universe's timelines together, alone after saying teary eyed that he doesn't want to be alone. But it's still better than how he was treated and discarded from T:Ragnarok to Infinity War, and it doesn't exclude Loki from showing up again, some way or the other.

Extremely late thoughts on episode four:

I’m sorry is this a doctor who episode? I cannot see the intro with what looks like the time vortex and not go doo wee doo!

Why did Sylvie think it was a good idea to throw renslayer into the citadel? Like that’s such an obviously horrible plan! Edit: oh surprise surprise it was a horrible plan

Weren’t mobius and loki just behind victor? Where are they? Also yes it’s probably also a horrible idea to take him to the tva (not that they have many other options considering the loom is about to go into meltdown) and it’s probably going to be the thing that starts the tva in the first place

Edit: he’s spaghetti now

What the fuck is Sylvie doing here? Girl I thought you wanted to have a normal life

Oh so we’re just forgiving the genocidal general? Who murdered untold billions of billions of lives? And we’re giving her her job back? Delightful. Can’t see how this can go wrong (now I don’t trust saraquel whatever her name is in here)

I love how everyone is so excited to see ouroboros

Oh time is a circle! An ouroboros!!!

Oh my god victor likes and admires O.B is that why his memories were never wiped?

Mobius and Loki being married and Sylvie is so tired of their bickering

Also, theoretically, shouldn’t Loki/Sylvie be the best candidate to launch the whatever into the loom? I kind of hate that mcu keeps deliberately forgetting that they’re gods. Wouldn’t their strength and speed be to their advantage? Aren’t they more likely to survive more radiation than other tva employees who are (presumably) human? Also can’t they use magic to move the thingy without even getting out there? We know they have telekinesis!

Oh my god I’m so tired of Sylvie’s bullshit! I liked her last season! “You want to leave it to them?” Yes? They are the engineers?? Wtf is he supposed to do right now? Is he supposed to invent the solution to a problem you created? When will you take responsibility? At least Loki and mobius and b-15 and everyone else are trying to do something while you were chilling at a mcdonalds!!! You started this by killing he who remains without a second thought about the consequences and now you’re accusing mobius that he doesn’t care what happens to the timelines? Mobius who’s been working to save everything?

I’m not going to feel bad for the woman who killed literally untold numbers of people but jfc that was horrific

X-5 after seeing your colleagues turned into mush you’re still going to follow ravonna?

That wasn’t very surprising but still! Good job honey! You saved yourself!

I love that Loki bickered with mobius about which one of them would put on the suit but in the end he volunteered without a second of hesitation

Oh my god

Oh my god he turned into spaghetti

I feel so bad for victor now??? I was waiting for him to turn evil but he was just nice? And brave?? And he died???

Shepherd S-Teir Essence

DISCLAIMER: So this is my first Essence idea I'm doing publicly for people to join in on, if they want. I'm not great with Essence lore, but designs I really really like doing. I'm going to put some ground rules for the essence below. For now though, here's a little bit of info on the lore.

"Today was supposed to be a joyous day for me, for us."

"For once I don't have to worry about lowly humans messing with our lives. That is why it rains when the foxes are to be married. To keep the bad away."

"But now? The rain is weeping, cold and in misery. I've lost so much, given them so many chances to prosper, but they all run away, calling me a foul beast..."

"Will you be the bride-to-be? Or are you here to strip me of my chances of happiness once more?"

S-Tier: Twofaced-Fox Groom - Pearce Whittaker The groom who is half man, half beast. Countless maiden's were fated to him, and yet all have washed away like the rain on his special day. He will get what he wants, even if a little sacrifice entails.

A-Tier: The Vixen Bride - Carmilla Blackwood @ask-idv-outcast The bride who came to be. Her world spins at the lack of understanding. Is this a reality? Or is this a twisted fantasy of possession and desperation? Pleading is endless. A-Tier: Hindered Ijiraq - (OPEN) The objector to this nightmarish event. Shapeshifting into what he must, Protecting the Vixen Bride is all that matters. To pry the claws off a fox, you must be in the exact situation, and take the rightful role back.

B-Tier: Deathly Officiant - (OPEN) The preacher who's gone cold. Nothing more than a long, skeletal remain of who they once were. Adorned with the antlers of an elk, they must ensure this wedding does not end in humanity's downfall. B-Tier: Wilting Willows - Ameillia Thomson @ask-idv-gas-specialist To toss the petals at a wedding is almost necessary, and yet here, everything is dead and lifeless. While there may be no joy in such a place, there is always a small glimmer of hope. All roles must be played, no matter how bitter it may be. B-Tier: Ouroboros Bearer - Eiji Narukami @idv-artists-trio-trio The rings bind lovers indefinitely. Vows are made, and promise till death. This is the eternal cycle of destruction and re-creation. Fighting through skin and bone, you must be there for your beloved always. B-Tier: The Urayuli Usher - Victor Grantz/Campbell @ask-victor-grantzcampbell A large beast who finds the to-be-brides lost in the woods. Those who have gone missing lie at the hands of a beast with high-pitched shrills. Yet here, they serve as peaceful creatures seeking to guide those destined to fate. B-Tier: Maid of Shallowness - (OPEN) Jealousy, Hatred, Pettiness. All things accumulated to malice. The maid who wished to be the best, to have a gorgeous wedding. The plot only thickens when trying numerical times to replace the bride. Even if bloodshed is the last resort. B-Tier: Best Man's Sorrows - (Damien Hardwick @idv-sinful-deities Pity, Regret, Ashamed. The things that make the Best Man feel sorry for countless brides and their frivolous ends. With little to no power, all they can do is weep enterally at what could transpire next. If only someone could stop this nightmare once and for all. ~~

RULES:

One person per blog, sorry homies with the multiple characters on one blog. U_U a. OCs and canon characters are allowed btw!!!

First come, first serve. That's the rules man. Once all the roles are filled, that'll be it so I can work on designs.

Skin Recommendation ideas would be cool! If you have any questions, you can message me here on Tumblr, or On Discord if you prefer! My User is JustMandika#2840.

Don't rush me on the skin making. I absolutely hate that and it might make me procrastinate longer.

~~ So yeah, that's it. If you want a character to be in this little essence idea I did, please lemme know in my inbox here for shepherd. I'll answer in due time, I promy ( Xv X) b

#idv shepherd #idv survivor oc #idv oc ask blog #idv oc #idv essence ideas #// I'm sobbing rn

Inverse Destinies

(This turned out a lot longer than I expected but here you go anon!)

"I want to see once and for all who is the greatest hero. Is it the Samurai, or Ninja?" Pythor spoke loudly to the crowds of serpentine watching them eagerly. "Only the victor will be allowed to leave!" He yelled and they all cheered.

"Stay together." Nya says, all of them on the defence as they stared the Samurai down.

She was their acting leader as well as the master of fire.

"Perhaps he can join our team to fight our way out?" Zane suggested to the rest of the team. "After all, he hates the Serpentine too." He pointed out but then the Samurai attacked, launching a large circular shuriken at them they quickly dodged.

They all watched as it returned to the Samurai X mech with wide eyes.

"Scratch that. He is not in our team!" Cole yelled before dodging the mechanical fist tossed at them by jumping over and landing behind it, regrouping as the Samurai recovered.

The Samurai tossed another shuriken but Jay ducked, dodging it.

"Ha! Missed me!" He yelled but then the shuriken returned, hitting him in the back of the head before reattaching to the mech.

"Tornado of Creation?" Zane queried as Jay rubbed the back of his head and they all nodded.

"Earth!" Cole yelled, starting up his Spinjitzu.

"Fire!" Nya yelled, following up.

"Ice!" "Lightning!"

"Ninja go!" They all yelled as they came together, creating one ultra massive Tornado of Creation.

The tornado sucked in several weapons and debris- even a Serpentine's treat. Once the tornado vanished, the ninja were left standing next to a massive slingshot with a large spiked ball inside.

"Chew on this." Nya smirked before they drew back the ball and the band then let it fly, the ball knocking the Samurai back all the way in front of Pythor and Sales.

They then yelled as they charged at both serpentine but Pythor pulled a lever that made spikes jut up all around the fighting ring, preventing them from getting to Pythor.

"Argh!" Why can't anyone play fair?!" Jay yelled and Pythor smirked before pulling another lever.

"Look alive boys!" Nya yelled as the fighting ring tilted, making them all fall across it, holding onto the spikes to prevent themselves from falling in the hole below.

"Can this get any worse?!" Cole yelled as the Samurai hung in next to them.

"We have to continue to make it appear that we are fighting for real." Samurai X says as they looked at him surprised.

"Huh, we're not fighting for real?" Jay asked, looking across at the mech.

"Keep up the charade and hold on to my exo-suit." The Samurai told them and they did as he said, hopping into his suit.

The Samurai then turned on the rocket boosters on the mech and they all launched up into the air, their ascent soon stopping completely, the suit unable to go higher.

"There's too much weight!" Nya yelled as they all hung in tight.

Before they could think of a solution, Samurai X jumped out of the mech, allowing the suit to fly away with them from Ouroboros.

"I can't believe he just saved us!" Cole yelled over the the rush of the wind, angry.

"He stole our thunder again!" Nya growled, looking back.

"Argh! I hate that Samurai!" Jay yelled in his rage.

"Go Ninja! Go!" Harumi yelled from her cell, glad they got away.

The Samurai however, landed on his feet in the righted arena, punching two serpentine who came up behind him before running straight for Pythor. Pythor growled before pulling Harumi out of the cage and held her before him threateningly as she squirmed and struggled against him.

"Get him!" Pythor yelled and the serpentine rushed at him from all angles.

"Magnetizer activated." Samurai X spoke before using the magnetizer from his wrist to snatch the golden weapons, catching them in a banner he stole.

He then threw his blade, using it to tilt the arena again to make all the serpentine slide off as he activated the jetpack he wore and flew off. He landed on the head of the Great Devourer statue and bowed before flying off again, leaving Pythor fuming.

'I didn't want to leave the squirt behind but what other choice did I have?' Samurai X thought as he flew on.

His eyes widened once his jetpack stalled, sending him spiraling down before crashing into the sand.

"Ugh." The Samurai grunted as he sat up.

He then stood and dusted himself iff before testing his equipment.

"Testing, testing? One, two." The Samurai says, testing his equipment.

He gave an irritating huff and took off his helmet, revealing his true identity as Kai, younger brother of the fire ninja, Nya.

"Kai?" He went rigid, quickly putting the helmet back on.

"Steer clear Ninja!" He yelled, the voice modulator distorting his voice. "Don't look..." He slumped, knowing it was pointless now and took off the helmet again.

"At me..." Kai finished, looking at his older sister sheepishly.

"I... I don't understand... You're the Samurai?!" Nya asked, bewildered.

"Well, it was always the chosen ninja club." Kai says with a shrug. "You and the others never let me even try to help. So, I found my own way to be a hero... Are you mad?" He asked quietly, looking a little guilty.

"Mad?" Nya repeated, awesteuck. "Of course not! I've been trying to protect you all this time and you never needed it. You're amazing!" She told him wirh a wide smile.

"Kai power." Kai grinned then looked at her hopefully. "You're not going to tell the others, are you?" Nya frowned.

"Well you see, we had this bet. We agreed whoever caught the Samurai would be the green-" Nya cut herself off at the disappointed and sad look Kai wore.

She sighed then smiled.

"Of course I won't say anything Kai." She says, giving him a hug he happily returned.

"But I've gotta ask: how'd you make all this stuff?" Nya asked, looking him over.

"You'd be surprised how much spare time I have you waiting for you guys to come back from missions." Kai says drily. "You better head back before anyone gets suspicious. We'll have to rescue Harumi another day." He told her, taking the golden weapons off his back and handing them to her, still wrapped up in the banner.

"Kai..." She says after accepting the weapons. "When I get in trouble, the other three always have my back. But you...? Just promise to be careful." She says softly.

"I promise." Kai says with a smile.

_________________

"Come on!" Nya grunted aboard the bounty, shaking her hand while wearing the green ninja gi. "Fire! Unlock fire! Uh, uh, fire go!" She yelled but nothing was unlocking her full potential.

"Shoot flames! Oh, come on!" She growled in frustration, glaring at her right hand. "Everyone else can do it! I can too! Bring heat!" She yelled, holding both hands out but the only thing that happened was the sound of laughter filling rhe room.

She whirled around, mortified to see Cole, Zane and Jay laughing at her.

"Very creative." Zane says, amused as Nya blushed in embarrassment.

"Hehe... How- how long have you guys been... You know... Standing there?" She asked, doing an awkward stretch to seem casual.

"Long enough." Cole says with a smirk as Jay rushed over for a closer view.

"The green ninja suit! It's so awesome!" Jay says excitedly and Nya did a full spin.

"Isn't it? I was looking for some clue from Sensei when I found it." She shrugged.

"Nya, you know only the one who is foretold to face Lord Garmadon is destined to be green ninja, and only they should wear the green ninja outfit. So Sensei would most likely be very-"

"I know, I know." Nya sighed, cutting Zane off.

"But... I thought if I just tied it on, it might help me see a way to unlock ny true potential." She says, hanging her head before crossing her arms with a frown. "It's not fair you guys have already unlocked your cool powers and I haven't. Besides, Sensei's gone and we don't know when he's coming back-" She was cut off by a door squeaking open some distance away.

"Hello? I'm home." Sensei Wu called, sending Nya into a panic as the others rushed to meet him.

She quickly changed back into her own gi and put the green ninja gi back before rushing out to not look suspicious.

"... of us except for Nya have discovered our true potential." She heard Zane tell Sensei Wu as she climbed the ladder to the upper deck.

"Jeeze. Could have said it in a less depression way." Nya huffed.

"Have you now? Where is Nya?" Wu asked, looking around.

"Right here!" She grinned, popping up behind her younger brother Mr. Samurai X himself. "So glad you're safe." She says with a smile that quickly fell once she noticed four black arms from behind Sensei Wu before she spotted Garmadon himself.

"Aaah! Sensei, behind you!" Nya yelled then jumped forward, pulling out her fire sword mid air, landing before Garmadon.

Zane jumped before Sensei Wu as she swung the glowing gold sword at Garmadon who bent back to dodge.

"He's gotten four arms!" She yelled as she jumped on him, pressing the gold sword towards Garmadon's face as he used all four hands to push against her.

"So, we meet again!" Garmadon grunted out, glaring at Nya who returned it before looking to Sensei Wu.

"He must have followed you Sensei!" She says, pushing against him even more as Sensei Wu ran over.

"Nya, stop!" He yelled, confusing her. "He is the reason I left. For as long as Pythor has Harumi, he will be our guest." He explained amd Just looked down at Garmadon bewildered before getting off him.

"We have to live with this guy?!" Cole yelled, stepping forward.

"But sensei, he has four arms!" Zane protested.

"Uh, must I remind you ever since he turned evil, he's been trying to get our golden weapons?" Jay pointed out but he only served to anger Wu.

"Enough!" He snapped.

"Yes Sensei." They all sais, backing up.

"This isn't about the weapons, it's about my daughter." Garmadon insisted, on his feet now.

"From here on out, you will obey me and you will respect my brother." Wu told them as Garmadon crossed his upper arms.

"Yes Sensei." All the ninja and Kai says, bowing their heads.

"Now, to the bridge. We must put our attention to more pressing matters." Wu says, heading there with Garmadon following behind.

Said villain pausing before looking back at Nya with a smirk.

She glared at him as he continued on, the rest of them following soon after. She didn't care what Sensei Wu said, she was keeping an eye on him.

__________________

Harumi sighed from her place stuck inside the portable prison Pythor stuck her in. She shouldn't have went off on her own but she saw her chance to help the ninja and couldn't walk away from it. Now, she was being lugged around by stupid snakes as an advantage over the ninja. Not like they needed it really. They had all but one of the fang blades after all. But it's not like she could escape either. The stupid cage was well built.

She grunted once the cage was picked up, rubbing her elbow she hit from their lack of care as she glared at the Constrictai carrying her.

"Don't look so glum." He spoke mockingly. "Very soon, we won't have any need for you. It's time to collect the third fangblade!" He yelled then laughed as Harumi looked at him horrified.

Oh no...

________________

"What are you two doing out here?" Kai asked as he opened the door to see Nya and Garmadon glaring each other down.

"Perhaps you should be asking Ms. Snoopy Pants that question." Garmadon says, gesturing to a wide eyed Nya with both right arms.

"What? No way! I was- um... Keeping watch!" Nya thought up quickly, crossing her arms. "So, are you really the green ninja?" She asked her younger bother timidly.

"What? No way." Kai says with a smirk, shaking his head and Nya sighed, relieved.

"So the weapons didn't tell you? That means I still have a chance." She says with a determined grin as Kai smiled at her.

"Truthfully, he never wanted to know." Wu says as he stepped out behind Kai.

"Well, at first, all I wanted was to be like you and the guys but after seeing how obsessed you all got over the green ninja title, it gave me an appreciation of not being one of you and what I could do on my own as a Samurai." Kai admitted to his older sister who frowned.

"So then... Who's the green ninja?" Nya asked Sensei Wu, puzzled.

"Perhaps we will never know." Wu's wise answer.

"Nya! You were supposed to be in the bridge! Zane's Falcon spotted them!" Jay called from the bridge and she gasped, rushing up there with the others.

On the computer screen, it showed the group of serpentine being led by Pythor towards the Temple of Fire. The Falcon zoomed in on Harumi being carried in the cage as well.

"Looks like Pythor is at the Temple of Fire." Kai says once they were all gathered, looking up at the screens.

"Then that means the Fangblade is there." Nya says with narrowed eyes.

"And my daughter." Garmadon added.

"That's the same Fire Temple where Nya and Lord Garmadon first faced off..." Jay pointing out, recognising it.

"If my memory serves me correct, I'd says one of us cheated back when we last fought." Nya says, tossing a glare back at Garmadon.

"And I remember someone needing their Sensei to save them." Garmadon shot back.

"Guys! For the sake of the Fangblade and Harumi, can we please just get along?" Cole asked as he steered the Bounty towards the Fire Temple.

"Since the last time we've been there, the volcano has grown unstable. The place is a powder keg just waiting to blow up. The environment will be highly combustible." Kai warned, going over the data for the Temple.

"Oh, great. Just what I like. Fighting armed and deadly snakes in a highly combustible environment about to blow up!" Jay yelled at the absurdity of it all.

"We will do what we must." Wu told them, eyes on the screen.

It will be a dangerous mission but a necessary one.

__________________

"The volcano is on the verge of eruption guys. All recent indicators say that this place is becoming increasingly fragile. Even the smallest rupture can make the whole thing go off." Kai warned them, staying on the Bounty but using the Falcon as communication.

"Then we must not use our weapons." Wu says, walking along the path into the temple with Garmadon before him and the ninja behind.

With that declaration, all the ninja put their weapons away, Nya keeping a keen eye out from behind incase they planned a surprise attack.

"There." Wu says, pointing out a tunnel from inside the Fire Temple. "The Serpentine must be inside the inner core. From here on out, we travel by shadows." He told them as they took off in a run.

"It's the only way I know how." Garmadon says, keeping a vigilant eye.

Once they came for the end of the tunnel, they saw the Serpentine on the rocks raised out of the magma.

"There's Rumi!" Jay whispered and they all zoned in on Harumi from where she was in the cage still, looking miserable.

"Harumi." Garmadon gasped.

The Venomari serpent who was digging into the core of the volcano hit something and Pythor jolts from where he was, looking at the map and planning his next steps.

"Huh? Out of my way, fool!" He says, batting the other snake aside, unaware of the Ninja, Wu and Garmadon closing in. "The the third Fangblade is ours!" He yelled, taking up the blade and they cheered.

Pythor inspected the blade but then he spotted the Ninja in the Blade's reflection.

"Ninja? Attack!" He yelled and the Serpentine charged at them.

"Light as a leaf. Attack like there is no tomorrow." Wu says before charging forward, knocking the Serpentine in his way on the small path off.

Jay punched and kicked a few Serpentine as a large jet of magma spewed up.

"Ice!" Zane yelled, creating a new path and sliding down it, kicking serpentine off as they approached.

Nya on the other hand was surrounded by Serpentine. She wasn't sure if she could take them all on. She hesitated before pulling her weapon, making the magma glow bright as she took down the Serpentine surround him.

"Nya, the weapon is compromising our safety." Kai warned over the comms.

"Sorry!" She says then put it away then rushed further into the frey.

Meanwhile, Pythor and the other Serpentine were making their escape.

"Let's get out of here! But not before we leave them with a parting gift." He says with a smirk. "Boys?" He says and the Constrictai dug several holes throughout the vol another, letting more magma seep through.

"They're making the volcano unstable." Zane says as they regrouped.

"Any minute this place is gonna blow. We have to get out of here." Jay says as the place began to crumble.

"Not without my daughter." Garmadon says, spotting her being carried away.

"Dad!" Harumi yelled and Garmadon launched forward, cutting his way through the Serpentine sent to stop him.

"Argh, lose the girl!" Pythor hissed, near the entrance and they set the cage down on a few rocks, near the rising magma.

"Dad!" Harumi yelled out, terrified to see the magma rising.

"Harumi!" Garmadon yelled then continued to cut though the Serpentine, lava rising still.

He pushed them out of the way, running up the path. He flipped over the rest of the serpentine rushing at him and quickly grabbed the handle of the cage, lifting it and Harumi hanging out the melted off bottom up and to safety.

"Dad." Harumi says relieved, hugging him as the Serpentine retreated.

"Daughter." He says in relief, hugging him back.

"We have to get the Fangblade!" Nya yelled, dashing past them.

"Come back. It's too dangerous. The whole place is going to explode!" Cole yelled as the volcano destabilized further, Garmadon retreating with Harumi in arms

"Then I better be quick!" Nya yelled before throwing her sword, lodging it and the fangblade in the wall.

"Hurry, we must leave here at once." Skales says as Pythor attempts to pull the blade out.

He left with a scream once a jet of magma shot up too close for comfort, the tunnel closing over behind him.

"Leave it, Nya! It's not worth your life!" Jay yelled as Nya continued to dash to where the sword and the fangblade was.

"Not without that Fangblade!" She yelled as he finally got there, tugging at his sword that was lodged in the volcano wall tight.

This was their chance to get a one up on Pythor! They had to have it!

"We must leave." Wu says as they stood by the cave leading to the exit.

"But what about Nya?" Harumi asked, standing before her father wide eyed. "Nya!" She yelled, trying to get the master of fire to come back.

Suddenly, the ground under her broke off and she fell with a scream, faster than they could catch her. The chunk of land dropped in the lava and Harumi on it.

"No! Harumi!" Garmadon yelled, being held back by the others to prevent him from jumping in after him.

"Dad! Dad! I'm sinking!" Harumi yelled, looking up at them with panic.

"It, unh, won't budge!" Nya yelled as she kept tugging at her sword holding the fangblade there.

It finally slipped free but the Fangblade dropped further down into the volcano on a rock.

Nya hopped down then on another rock and tried to reach out for it.

"We have to get out of here, or else none of us will get out of here." Wu says as the volcano began to quake even more violently, making all of them step back.

"But my daughter!" Garmadon protested, being tugged back just in time to miss being crushed by a collapse of the cave before then, forcing them all to run of the temple, his anguished yell echoing along the way.

"Come on, why won't my power unlock?!" Nya asked, frustrated as she tried to reach for the blade again.

"Nya! Help me!" Harumi yelled as her sinking piece of land floated towards him.

Nya gasped, seeing her there, looking terrified then glanced back at the fangblade that started to hiss as magma touched the tip. There was no need for hesitation.

"Come on. Let's get out of here." Nya says as he jumped across to the sinking slab of rock Harumi was floating in, holding her close.

"But the Fangblade..." Harumi says, looking across at it.

"Forget it. This place is coming apart. Ninja, go!" Nya yelled, using her Spinjitzu to hop across on anther pieces of stone with Harumi.

Looking up, Nya realised the exit was sealed off. A spray of magma then blocked the view them surrounded them, trapping them.

"Harumi! Harumi!!!" Garmadon yelled brokenly as they ran from the temple and quickly hopped on the Bounty.

Kai quickly flies them to a safe distance as the volcano suddenly exploded, shooting hot ash and lava everywhere.

"Nya." Kai whispered, heartbroken the same time Garmadon had whispered 'Harumi'.

A large ball of fire shot out of the volcano, heading towards them. Before they could panic, they spotted someone inside the fireball.

"It's Nya! She's found her True Potential!" Jay says with a wide grin.

They landed on the Bounty with Nya still glowing, even as the sphere of energy disappeared. She flipped her hood back, smiling widely as fire billowed behind her. Sensei Wu nodded at her proudly and she smiled wider, passing out after her glow disappeared. Wu took to the wheel of the Bounty and set a course away from the volcano.

Moments later, inside the Bounty with everyone, Garmadon looked Harumi over for any injuries, glad when he didn't find more than a bruise or two.

"Dad? Is it really you?" Harumi asked, looking up at her father.

"It is, daughter." Garmadon says, relieved as they hugged.

"Dad? Why do you have four arms?" Harumi asked but not minding too much.

Four arms are better at hugging than two.

"She's gonna be okay." Cole says and they cheered.

"Thank you, Nya." Garmadon says as his glow vanished and Nya just nodded with a smile.

"But how do you survive? How did you find the key to unlock your true potential?" Zane asked Nya, other others listening in.

"I knew when I had to make a choice. I wanted the Fangblade so badly, to prove I was good enough to become the Green Ninja. But then I figured it out. All of my training to become the best Ninja wasn't in preparation to become the Green Ninja. It was..." She turned to Harumi. "To protect her." She says and everyone looked at Harumi too in awe.

"What? What is everybody looking at me for?" Harumi asked, puzzled.

"That means..." Kai says and they brought the golden weapons over and they reacted, casting a glowing green glow around her.

"Harumi is the Green Ninja." Wu says in surprise. "I had thought it would be one of you, but it was her the whole time. It all makes sense. Not only have you four been chosen to protect the Golden Weapons, but also to protect the Chosen One." He says as he looked around at them.

"That means..." Garmadon says, smile falling and Wu looked to him.

"The battle lines have been drawn, brother. Sadly, our family has only become more divided. Brother versus brother, and now, daughter versus father." Wu says as Harumi looked up at her father with a frown.

She had to... Defeat him? She was the green ninja?

______________________

The time for Harumi to defeat her father may not be here but another evil sure is! She and the ninja looked down from a building at thr Great Devourer just below, biting it's own tail.

"Now, where's Garmadon? He's not gonna hold on for much longer." Cole says as they looked down at it.

"Look! Dad!" Harumi yelled, pointing him out atop the skyscraper the Devourer bit his tail before.

He was holding all four weapons as the sky turned dark and over casted, casting a low purple glow over everything. Garmadon looked down at the Devourer below and the glowing weak spot it had. The Devourer noticed him and manages to look up with its tail in it's mouth.

"You are the reason evil runs through my blood." He says, activating the weapons and a low magenta glow came from them with purple wispy smoke.

A light blue explosion of power went off from the weapons over the overcast sky of the city.

"You bit me once. Now feel what it's like to be bitten back!" Garmadon yelled as he jumped off the building.

"Go get him, Dad." Harumi says, watching him from the safety of the other building.

"Vengeance will be mine!" He yelled before sing into the Devourer's weak spot and it roars as green electricity washed over it before it explodes, sending green goo all across the entire city in a massive flood.

Everyone cheered then, glad that the Devourer was no more.

"He did it." Jay whispered.

"No, we did it!" Cole says with a smile.

They all cheered, the crisis averted...

Or so they thought. Not too far away, a small boy with platinum blond hair in a bowl cut sat in the back of an ambulance, staring ahead in in silence as two paramedics looked him over.

"Hmm. So much for the Ninja." The paramedic to his left says as the second sighed.

"Did you see that thing? Lord Garmadon single-handedly destroyed it. He's the real hero." The second paramedic says to the first.

"Brave little boy you are. Where are your parent, child?" The first paramedic asked but Lloyd didn't respond. "Do you have a name?" Still no answer.

"Well, aren't you the quiet one..."

____________________

"I present to you the exalted Emperor and Empress of Ninjago, and their son, the Jade Prince, Prince Lloyd." Hutchins introduced as the Ninja all walked forward to them.

All five ninja bowed but Harumi had to nudge Kai, their fellow water ninja into bowing as well.

"We are honored by your presence." The Emperor says as the royal family bowed as well.

"The honor is all ours." Harumi says as they straightened.

"I have read much about you." Lloyd says as he walked sown the steps to greet them more personally, his white and green cape just barely touching the ground as his gold crown glimmered in the light. "Your heroics will surely become legend. Nya, the warm hearted ninja who is fiercely protective her team." He says, stopping before her and she bowed.

"Cole, the rock and foundation of the team." He says, moving on and Cole bowed as well.

"Jay, the joker whose mouth is as fast as lightning." He says to Jay who was looking around in awe before paying attention long enough to bow.

"Zane, the cold and calculating android." Lloyd says to him, looking him over.

"Nindroid, your highness." Zane corrected, his human disguise dropping to reveal his titanium self.

"And Kai, the newer addition to the team." Lloyd says and Kai looked disappointed as he bowed. "The Samurai I've wanted to be ever since I first heard about him. With his mastery of Water and his skill that could rival any master." He says and Kai grinned.

"I like him." He says to Zane then bowed again.

"And Master Harumi, the Green Ninja. The youngest but most powerful protector." He says, approaching her, both of them bowing. "The chosen one. I too have lost my parents..." He says sadly.

"Uh, heh?" Jay says, confused.

"... But we're both without family, hm?" Lloyd says with a wistful smile.

"We adopted Lloyd and raised him as our own." The Empress explained, gaining their attention.

"When his parents passed away." The Emperor added.

"Thank you for inviting us into your home." Harumi says with a bow.

"It wasn't us. It was our son." The Emperor clarified.

"And he would like you to stay with us, until the threat to our throne is over." The Empress added.

"These are troubling times, and as long as we have an Oni Mask, we fear our lives are in jeopardy." The Emperor explained, fearfully.

"The masks must never be reunited. Please say yes." Lloyd pleaded to the ninja, looking worried.

All the ninja looked to their leader, Harumi who bowed to them.

"Then you have our help." Harumi told them and Lloyd smiled, relieved.

'Indeed we do...'

Loki 2x04 was so good! The music was amazing.

Miss Minutes showing Ravonna that Kang erased her memories after she helped him win the war. And now they don’t need him.

OB basing his work off Victor Timely and Victor basing his work off OB. Then them asking for each other’s autograph.

Mobius and his pie

Loki talking about Thor.

I enjoyed Loki and Sylvie’s conversation. I just love when they’re on screen together.

“I know, I’m working on myself” - Miss Minutes

Miss Minutes smiling while all those people died

Loki pruning his past self

Loki answering the phone and OB being the one calling

Loki and Sylvie yelling through the phone to turn off the dampeners that make it so they can’t use magic

Miss Minutes being taken offline was so satisfying when they rebooted the system

Sylvie enchanting X-5 and pruning Ravonna

The radiation being too much for Victor

The visual of the time loom being overwhelmed was so good

Top 3 Supernatural Episodes Per Season

Warning: Spoilers below the cut. I am SUPER biased. Take everything I say with a HEALTHY grain of salt.

Season 1: omg they look like INFANTS

1. “Home” 1x09. This episode is amaaaaaaaaaaaaazing AND it’s super important to the mytharch AND we get Winchester family drama. One of those early instances of “Wow we need to give Jensen Ackles an emmy like yesterday”. Mary turns up and foreshadows like??? so much??

2. “Scarecrow” 1x11. Super creepy, major “The Lottery” vibes, fuck I just. I love it.

3. “Hell House” 1x17. Close call between this one and “Something Wicked” but in the end, Harry and Ed and all the hilarity that ensues just. *chef’s kiss*

Honorable Mentions: “Something Wicked”

Season 2: ugh so many good episodes season 2 is SO good

1. “The Usual Suspects” 2x07. SAM GETS TO BE SO SNARKY IN THIS EPISODE AND I LOOOOVE IT. Also Diana is a bamf.

2. “Croatoan” 1x09. UGH YASSSSSSS. Close call between this and “In My Time Of Dying”, though

3. “What is And What Should Never Be” 2x20. Look man, I don’t know what to tell you. I’m cheap as all get out. Dean angst? Gimme gimme. Also it has WYNONNA EARP IN IT.

Honorable Mentions: “In My Time of Dying”, “Nightshifter”

Season 3: half of these episodes suck, the other half are perfect heeeelllppp

1. “Bad Day At Black Rock” 3x03. This episode it just hilarious from start to finish. Also, Bela vs. Dean.

2. “Mystery Spot” 3x11. A double whammy of HILARIOUS and OH FUCK THIS IS DEPRESSING.

3. “Jus In Bello” 3x12. It was real hard to decide between this and Ghostfacers but ultimately, Nancy Fitzgerald (aka Ella Lopez) and Victor Henrikson are the actual best and deserve all the love ever.

Honorable Mentions: “Ghostfacers”, “The Kids Are Alright”

Season 4: Somehow there is only one episode that is not stunningly amazing??

1: “On the Head of A Pin” 4x16. Cas becomes a main character and it is AMAZING and oh my god give Jensen ALL the emmys oh and ALSO we finally learn exactly what Sam and Ruby’s “extracurricular activities” entail. Feels like a movie. We get the reveal that the angels are working to break the seals. Anna is also amazing. Why is this episode so beautiful. I’m fucking crying and so is Dean. I could gush for hours.

2. “It’s a Terrible Life” 4x17. This episode is just a fucking delight. (Am I giving it such a high score on the basis of The Kink’s “Well Respected Man” alone? Maybe. Honestly I SHOULD be putting Rapture here but oh well. I’m biased.)

3. “Monster Movie” 4x05. It was hard to decide between this “In the Beginning” “Lazarus Rising” “The Rapture” and “Lucifer Rising” (which all deserve all the praise ever) but ugh ugh ugh this episode is ALSO perfect AND I love it a bajillion. It’s in black and white and the guest actress is SO pretty and also I think I’ve already gone into detail about how the MoTW is a Lucifer Parallel. Also Dean says he’s been rehymenated so TRANS!DEAN RIGHTS!

Honorable Mentions: “In The Beginning” “Lazarus Rising” “Lucifer Rising” “The Rapture”

Season 5: You want to be sad? You also want to watch really good TV? SEASON FIVE IS WHERE IT’S AT!

1. “Two Minutes To Midnight” 5x21. I know, I know. I should be putting “Swan Song” here but look,, I am easily bought with the promise of Julian Richings as Death.

2. “Free To Be You And Me” 5x03. Funny Destiel buddy cop film, Sam gets to be filtered through the eyes of an audience-stand-in in universe, also contains Castiel’s ICONIC line “but today you’re MY little bitch”.

3. “Dark Side of The Moon” 5x16. Narrowly beats out “My Bloody Valentine”, “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid”, and “The Song Remains The Same”. I am trash for any pieces of Sam and Dean’s childhoods and also this episode gives me SO MUCH material for beating up John with a baseball bat.

Honorable Mentions: “Swan Song” “My Bloody Valentine” “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid” “The Song Remains The Same” “The End”

Season 6: We Don’t Talk About Season Six.

1. “The Man Who Would Be King” 6x20. Cas. Destiel. Ow.

2. “Mommy Dearest” 6x19. Eve! Sam Smith! idk, I just really like it.

3. “Appointment In Samarra” 6x11. As I said, I am easily bought with Julian Richings. Tessa the Reaper!!! Sam stop trying to murder your father.

Honorable Mentions: “You Can’t Handle The Truth” “My Heart Will Go On” “Weekend At Bobby’s”

Season 7: Terrible reputation given the fact that it has SO many great episodes. Sera Gamble? You’re mean.

1. “Slash Fiction” 7x06. Why is this episode so hilarious???? Robbie Thompson starting out with a BANG!

2. “Plucky Pennywhistle’s Magical Menagerie” 7x14. In the total goop of “thick. black. ooze.” of this season, 7x14 is a light in the darkness. Every inkling of joy, of spark, of color, of childishness, all of it, poured out into this one episode, wherein Sam totally loses his cool and I love it. Sam looks so pretty at the end. Dean is simultaneously an actual child and an actual Dad and I love it.

3. “Out With The Old” 7x16. I love me some levis, man, don’t know what to tell you. It’s just so fun!!

Honorable Mentions: All of Robbie’s episodes, “Hello, Cruel World” “Repo Man” “Reading Is Fundamental” “How To Win Friends And Influence Monsters”

(The ONLY reason I’m not including TBAI is bc @mad-as-a-box-of-frogs is slowly converting me to hating Megstiel enough to not watch Destiel episodes)

Season 8: That one season where we admitted that Crowley’s a DICK.

1. “Hunteri Heroici” 8x08. CAAAAS!!! Also the only episode where anyone watching actually gives a shit about the Sam x Amelia flashbacks.

2. “LARP And The Real Girl” 8x11. Super fun! CHARLIE RETURNS. Dean is a FUCKING NERD. Sam gets flirted with :) Real close tie between this one and Pac-Man Fever

3. “The Great Escapist” 8x20. Edlund really gave it his all for this last episode. Cas kicks SO much ass. Sam needs to be protected at ALL costs. Kevin ALSO kicks SO much ass. The actor who plays Sweet Pea on Riverdale is here??? Wow.

Honorable Mentions: “Pac-Man Fever” “As Time Goes By” “Everyone Hates Hitler” “Trial And Error”

(See note on The Born-Again Identity for why Goodbye Stranger is not on this list. Again, blame @mad-as-a-box-of-frogs )

Season 9: Sam is mad at Dean for not letting him go

1. “First Born” 9x11. No, I will not elaborate. Tim Omundson speaks for himself. There is nothing wrong with this entire episode and if you try to tell me there is I can and will gut you like a fish.

2. “Heaven Can’t Wait” 9x06. DESTIELLLLLLLLLLLL.

3. “Do You Believe In Miracles?” 9x23. Wow it’s the first Season Finale to make it to my top 3!! Metatron gets what’s coming, DEAN BECOMES A FUCKING DEMON.

2. “Red Meat” 11x17. This is gonna sound strange, but this episode is sorta my comfort food?? I’ve watched it literally so many times. I love it. So much.

3. “The Chitters” 11x19. Nancy Won wrote three episodes for SPN, all in season 11, they are all stellar. Chitters is GAY. She also wrote “Don’t You Forget About Me” and “Thin Lizzie” I’m putting them here so as not to crowd up the Honorable Mentions.

Honorable Mentions: “The Vessel” “Devil In the Details” “We Happy Few” “Baby” “Form And Void” “Into the Mystic” honestly just watch every non-bucklemming episode they are pretty much all amazing.

Season 12: I WILL DEFEND MARY WITH MY LIFE DON’T @ ME

3. “Breakdown” 13x11. It physically pains me not to put “Funeralia” here but alas, I must not show Steve Yockey too much favoritism. Anyways. DONNA!!! DOUG!! CREEPY!!! SAM’S HEART IS WORTH SO MUCH MONEY!! GIVE SAMMY A HUG!!

Honorable Mentions: “The Scorpion And The Frog” “Funeralia” “The Thing” “The Bad Place” “The Big Empty” “Lost And Found”

Season 14:

1. “Moriah” 14x20. Proof that Supernatural will go down in history as ALMIGHTY. GOD IS THE ULTIMATE VILLAIN.

2. “Peace of Mind” 14x15. I still haven’t recovered. Jared must have had literally all the fun in the world.

3. “Mint Condition” 14x04. Yay!! Very fun!!! (I wanted to put Optimism here, but again, I can’t show Yockey so much favoritism. It’s not my fault! he’s too good!!)
