someone should love you as you deserve to be loved

[warning: heterodox to wang x xian. no character bashing, only heterodoxy. if that makes sense.]

part 1:

a reality warper is an individual or being with the ability to (as the name implies) alter reality in an anomalous fashion. while most reality warpers can only alter more superficial aspects of reality (ie. small instances of thaumaturgy, telekinesis, etc), more powerful reality warpers are able to alter reality on a more fundamental level (ie. causing natural disasters, changing people's memories, creating fully-sentient artificial beings who believe themselves human, etc). and the most powerful type of reality warper - the beings one might call "gods" - are capable of retroactively altering history.

an anti-miracle chamber is a kind of magically-enforced room that resists all magical and anomalous influences. such a chamber is completely sealed on a conceptual and existential level, such that, when the chamber is closed, nothing - no magic, no miracles, no anomalies - can alter what is sealed in the chamber. thus, even if the strongest of reality warpers used their powers to retroactively change the timeline, the contents of an anti-miracle chamber would remain unaltered.

part 2:

jiang cheng has kissed wei wuxian exactly once in his life. perhaps a more romantic person would have said that wei wuxian tasted of sunlight, fresh grass, or whatever other garbage was typically peddled in romance books written by virgins, but all jiang cheng could remember was the burn of the too-spicy chicken wei wuxian had eaten earlier. naturally, jiang cheng had jerked away almost immediately, eyes watering as the burn of cumin spread onto his tongue; wei wuxian, that asshole, had only laughed at him.

of course, wei wuxian has certainly forgotten that incident already. now, the only person wei wuxian needs to kiss is lan wangji. nonetheless, though, sometimes jiang cheng can still taste the faint ghost of that overspiced kiss, and hear the echo of wei wuxian's laughter in the quiet wind.

two years postcanon, jiang cheng stumbles into a temple. this is a bit of a problem, as this temple does not exist. however, jiang cheng does not know this. all he knows is that the (nonexistent) candles are lit when he enters, that these (nonexistent) candleflames are reflected, gleaming like jewels, in the dull (and nonexistent) bronze of the (nonexistent) statue at the temple's center, that he is dripping rainwater on the (nonexistent) floorboards. that the storm outside is so bad that he had not been able to see anything on his way here. and that jiang cheng had fought his way through the rainstorm anyways, weather and health be damned, because he has something to say.

"you actually granted it?!" shrieks jiang cheng, before the puddles he has left behind him can even dry. "one thousand prayers, one million wishes, and this is what you chose to grant?!"

"take it back! this isn't - this isn't what i wanted! grant another one of my wishes instead! if i really can have anything, then - then - "

the temple, of course, is silent.

part 3:

postcanon, wei wuxian is living happily in the cloud recesses with lan wangji. and he is happy! sure, jiang cheng has been sending him letters, and sure, he's kind of too chicken to even read them, and sure, they're slowly piling up in the jingshi. but that's fine! that's fine. the past is the past.

then, three years postcanon, wei wuxian starts to notice things changing. for one, jiang cheng changes: while before he would send wei wuxian letters (which wei wuxian never opened), and would immediately take the bait whenever lan wangji needled him at public affairs, now he no longer does any of those things. now he simply avoids both wang and xian, and does not react at all when lan wangji pokes at him in public.

furthermore, and more noticeably - lan qiren's behavior also changes. previously, he had of course expressed disapproval in lan wangji's choice of partner; however, previously, all of his actions still indicated that lan wangji was his precious nephew. now, though, things change. one day, out of nowhere, lan qiren stops paying any mind to lan wangji altogether, and instead treats him as coldly as he would a stranger.

lan wangji is naturally upset by this change. anyone would be, if the man who basically raised them started icing them out. in a stark contrast to his behavior 3 years ago, lan wangji begins following his uncle around, asking if he can help with anything and if his uncle would like to spend time with him. lan qiren, however, coldly rebuffs lan wangji each time.

unable to watch this go on for any longer, an angry wei wuxian confronts lan qiren. to wei wuxian's surprise, though, lan qiren does not respond to any of wei wuxian's barbs about being a shitty uncle; instead, lan qiren starts grilling wei wuxian on his history with lan wangji. when did wei wuxian first meet lan wangji? did wei wuxian ever try to send any letters to lan wangji after his expulsion from the cloud recesses? could wei wuxian describe in detail his and lan wangji's battle with the xuanwu of slaughter? how many times did wei wuxian run into lan wangji during the sunshot campaign? did lan wangji ever visit wei wuxian when wei wuxian was living with the wen remnants in the burial mounds? how exactly had lan wangji rescued wei wuxian from the slaughter at nightless city?

wei wuxian is naturally able to provide detailed and specific answers to each of these questions. lan qiren stares at wei wuxian for a moment. then, lan qiren says: "as cruel as this is for me to say, you are ultimately not my responsibility." and then lan qiren turns around and leaves, ignoring wei wuxian's shouts.

nonplussed by this conversation, wei wuxian begins to pay more attention to lan qiren for the next few weeks. he discovers that there are certain hours in the day, following a fairly set schedule, in which lan qiren's whereabouts are completely unaccounted for; no matter much hard wei wuxian digs, he cannot figure out where lan qiren is going during those hours.

moreover, wei wuxian also happens to overhear an interesting conversation between lan qiren and lan xichen (still in seclusion). lan qiren asks lan xichen to refresh his memory - lan wangji had visited wei wuxian exactly once when wei wuxian was living in the burial mounds with the wen remnants. given that lan wangji was already in love then - had lan wangji shared his reasoning as to why he only visited once? and had gusu lan done anything to or with lan wangji for this visit after lan wangji returned from yiling? lan xichen thinks about it for an unexpectedly long time, and then replies that he cannot remember. when wei wuxian later asks lan wangji these questions later, lan wangji is able to provide clear answers.

wei wuxian pioneers a safer long-distance version of his little paperman: one that does not require the caster's consciousness to fully sink into the paperman, one that does not harm the caster if damaged, and one that can travel an incredibly long distance from the caster's body without the spell breaking. then, the next time lan qiren leaves the cloud recesses, wei wuxian plants one of these papermen onto lan qiren's person, allowing him to surveil lan qiren in secret.

to wei wuxian's surprise, lan qiren visits lotus pier, where he has a private meeting with jiang cheng. though wei wuxian misses most of the conversation because his paperman doesn't work perfectly, wei wuxian still manages to overhear the following snippet:

JC: to be fair, i don't think he's dangerous. if he had ill intentions, then he would have acted on them already. if you don't give him any reason for complaint, then i don't think he'll have any reason to act against you. LQR: and how exactly am i supposed to know what would give it 'reason for complaint'? how am i supposed to know anything about what it wants? just what can you tell me about it, sect leader jiang?! LQR: ....forgive me. i did not mean to raise my voice. JC: i - it's fine. i understand. JC: .....and, for what it's worth, i'm sorry too.

after visiting lotus pier, lan qiren returns to the cloud recesses. then, a few days later, he leaves again - this time to visit the unclean realm. once again, wei wuxian plants a paperman on lan qiren, allowing wei wuxian to surveil lan qiren's movements.

at the unclean realm, lan qiren meets with nie huaisang. instead of talking about anything relating to the events of the guanyin temple incident, however, lan qiren instead asks nie huaisang about lan wangji. asks lan qiren: lan xichen and nie mingjue were friends since childhood; thus, did nie huaisang also frequently spend time with lan wangji in his childhood as a result of their older brothers' friendship? if so, what impressions of lan wangji did nie huaisang have, and did they or did they not get along? nie huaisang thinks about this for a moment, and then replies with some confusion that he cannot remember.

unnerved by this conversation, wei wuxian does not share what he overheard with lan wangji.

a few days later, nie huaisang then invites wei wuxian to the unclean realm. lan wangji insists on going with wei wuxian, but wei wuxian encourages him to stay home and help the juniors instead, saying that wei wuxian will be fine on his own.

once wei wuxian arrives at the unclean realm, nie huaisang meets with him. nie huaisang immediately drops the paperman wei wuxian had planted on lan qiren onto the table between them, and asks wei wuxian why he was eavesdropping on huaisang's conversation with lan qiren.

not knowing what else to do, wei wuxian ends up sharing all of the above with nie huaisang. nie huaisang concludes that something strange is going on. wei wuxian and nie huaisang end up agreeing to investigate this together.

nie huaisang explains to wei wuxian what he already explained to lan qiren: because nie huaisang had followed nie mingjue around everywhere, and because nie mingjue and lan xichen had been best friends from childhood, nie huaisang had also ended up spending a lot of time at the cloud recesses. it would have made logical sense if nie huiasang, as the second young master of the nie sect, had then spent (or been forced to spend) a lot of time with lan wangji, the second young master of the lan sect. however, nie huaisang has no memory of this ever happening - not even their respective guardian figures encouraging them to spend time together, not even any enmity that would have prevented them from doing so.

however, says nie huaisang, his memory of that entire period of time is just fuzzy - unusually fuzzy. this then leads nie huaisang to wonder if his memory was tampered with somehow.

at first, no one is sure what to do about memories that may or may not have been tampered with. however, after some research, wei wuxian finds the concept of the anti-miracle chamber: a type of magically-reinforced chamber that, when sealed, completely shields its contents against all forms of magic. according to wei wuxian's findings, each of the four (formerly five) great sects has such a chamber deep in its headquarters, the existence of which is kept a complete secret from everyone except the sect leader.

these anti-miracle chambers existed primarily for the sake of record-keeping - specifically, record-keeping that would remain absolutely unaltered by any sort of magic. from wei wuxian's readings, he learns that there once existed a kind of powerful god that could retroactively alter history: changing events that had already occurred, erasing people and altering history such that the erased people never existed to begin with, adding artificially-created humans and altering history such that these artificial humans always existed. the anti-miracle chambers were invented and built specifically so that the sect leaders would be able to track these anomalous changes to the timeline: because the anti-miracle chambers are completely impervious to all forms of magic, even if the flow of history itself were retroactively altered such that a certain [event A] never happened, because the history-altering magic would not be able to change the records inside the anti-miracle chamber, the records inside the anti-miracle chamber would still include an account of the erased [event A].

nie huaisang was never told about such a chamber - however, nie huaisang soon finds that the nie sect does indeed have an anti-miracle chamber. the reason nie huaisang did not know about it is that the sect leader nie before nie mingjue - that is, nie mingjue and nie huaisang’s father - had died far before he had anticipated doing so, and thus never got to tell nie mingjue about the anti-miracle chamber. with wei wuxian's help, nie huaisang is able to discover the location of the nie sect's anti-miracle chamber and find a way to open it.

inside, nie huaisang finds nothing of note except for an extensive record on all the major events in the jianghu. in these records, nie huaisang finds recorded the births of nie mingjue and himself, of jiang yanli and jiang cheng, of jin zixuan, and of lan xichen; however, he does not find any record of the birth of lan wangji. however, notes nie huaisang, lan wangji's birth was on almost the same day as one of nie huaisang's father's particularly bad qi deviations, so it's entirely possible that sect leader nie had simply forgotten to record lan wangji's birth as a result. the records, naturally, cut off after the death of nie huaisang's father.

after nie huaisang conveys this to wei wuxian, wei wuxian is unnerved by the fact that the records do not mention lan wangji at all. if these records had been placed anywhere other than an anti-miracle chamber, then wei wuxian could chalk up lan wangji's absence as the result of either sabotage or some sort of anomalous anti-information spell; however, the fact that these records were placed in a sealed anti-miracle chamber specifically points in a different direction. thus, wei wuxian insists on checking the records in another sect's anti-miracle chamber to see if those records also lack lan wangji. since things with jiang cheng are currently tense and lan qiren is currently being suspicious, wei wuxian decides to go ask jin ling instead. nie huaisang elects to stay behind, knowing that a sect leader letting another sect leader into his sect's super-secret anti-miracle chamber would be a problem.

once at jinlintai, however, wei wuxian runs into jiang cheng. jiang cheng, having overheard wei wuxian asking jin ling to let him into the jin sect's anti-miracle chamber's recent historical records, tells wei wuxian that he can come check lotus pier's anti-miracle chamber instead. jiang cheng says that jin ling's position in the jin sect still isn't stable, and so letting an outsider see top jin secrets might cause jin ling more problems.

wei wuxian agrees to go check lotus pier's anti-miracle chamber instead. after their arrival in lotus pier, jiang cheng first serves wei wuxian a big meal before letting him into the anti-miracle chamber. there, wei wuxian finds both lan xichen and lan wangji's births recorded in the records, as well as all of the deeds lan wangji performed after his birth. interestingly, one of these deeds (which is recorded as having happened during the 13 year timeskip) involves lan wangji singlehandedly slaying a notorious snake yao in gusu. amusingly, the records also contain quite a lot of entries on jiang cheng's own mishaps.

wei wuxian thanks jiang cheng and says he's returning to gusu. even though wei wuxian has strengthened his (mo xuanyu's) golden core enough for him to (with some effort) make the trip back on his own sword, jiang cheng insists on having two jiang disciples fly back with wei wuxian. wei wuxian accepts.

once wei wuxian arrives at the cloud recesses, he has an engaging conversation about talismans with one of the jiang disciples, while the other one disappears for a bit. after the second one returns, the two disciples leave.

though he cannot articulate exactly what it is he had feared, wei wuxian feels relieved. that evening, he sleeps with lan wangji for the first time since this whole investigation started. in the afterglow, wei wuxian then praises lan wangji for a deed he had read in the lotus pier anti-miracle chamber records: that lan wangji had defeated that notorious snake yao in gusu during the 13 year timeskip.

at this, however, lan wangji reacts with embarrassment. in reality, lan wangji explains, he had not been the one to kill the snake yao; instead, it had been jiang cheng. jiang cheng had gotten overzealous and chased it all the way across the yunmeng-gusu border before finally killing it in gusu. now, this had been a problem, as the sect leader of yunmeng jiang had crossed a sect border in order to kill a yao in another sect's territory. jiang cheng had ended up offering gusu lan a sum of money in private to make up for this misstep, upon which gusu lan had claimed that it was lan wangji who had killed the snake yao, specifically to cover up jiang cheng's mistake.

upon hearing this, wei wuxian freezes. as we know, the only person who knows about a sect's anti-miracle chamber is supposed to be the sect leader, and nothing about jiang cheng's personality indicates that he would buck this rule. therefore, the only person who could have written the record in lotus pier's anti-miracle chamber about lan wangji killing the snake yao in gusu is jiang cheng himself. however, jiang cheng himself knows that this is not the truth. now, it is possible that jiang cheng also lied in the anti-miracle chamber records in order to keep covering up his mishap; however, given that the anti-miracle chamber records also contained many recordings of jiang cheng's other mishaps (many of which were far worse than accidentally chasing a yao into another sect's territory), wei wuxian finds it highly unlikely that jiang cheng would lie about this incident specifically.

therefore - something is up. the next day, with a sinking suspicion, wei wuxian asks all of the lan juniors he's friends with if any of them saw where that second jiang disciple went after wei wuxian's arrival in the cloud recesses yesterday. a handful of the disciples reply that they saw the jiang disciple speaking with lan qiren.

upon hearing this, wei wuxian immediately flies to jinlintai, where he asks jin ling to show him the jin sect's anti-miracle chamber. in there, wei wuxian finds that which he had began to suspect yet was too afraid to put into words: the records contain absolutely no mention of lan wangji.

more accurately, lanling jin is in the habit of keeping a separate set of records for each sect leader. that is to say, jin guangshan kept one set of records, which was made read-only upon his death; jin guangyao kept another set of records, which was then made read-only upon his death; the current jin sect leader is jin rulan, so only jin rulan's set of records can be written to.

jin rulan's (short) records, of course, contained mention of lan wangji. jin guangshan's records, however, did not. in jin guangshan's records, lan xichen was recorded as the only son of qingheng-jun. lan xichen was called "the jade of gusu," with no mention of a twin. the xuanwu of slaughter was recorded as having been slain by wei wuxian alone. no mention of lan wangji is made in any of the entries on the sunshot campaign. no mention of lan wangji is made on any of the entries about the public meetings on the wei wuxian issue. no mention of lan wangji is made in any of the entries on the nightless city massacre.

and then came jin guangyao's record. initially, jin guangyao's record also contained no mention of lan wangji. and then, a fourth of the way through jin guangyao's record, jin guangyao writes the following:

on the X day of the Y month of the Z year of the reign of xuanzheng, i spent the evening in this room completing my records for the month. when i emerged from this room the next day, however, i found that the world had changed: while previously the lan sect of gusu had only one son - my er-ge - it now suddenly had two. suddenly, everyone acknowledged the existence of one lan wangji. it was as if he had existed right from the beginning - even though i myself had no memory of him at all. at first, i considered the possibility that i had simply gone insane, or that my memory had failed me. and certainly this seemed the case when i checked the historical records of all of the institutions who would accept my request, as each of them had this lan wangji's existence and achievements fully recorded. however, no matter how many times i check the records that both myself and my predecessors had left in this conceptually-sealed and anchored room, i find no record of lan wangji's existence.

wei wuxian is stunned. wei wuxian is horrified. wei wuxian flees jinlintai and flies back to the cloud recesses, where he confronts lan qiren about just what he found. after a long round of yelling, lan qiren finally confesses the truth: yes, it is just as the records imply. the existence known as "lan wangji" was not created naturally, but was rather artificially added to the world one day during the 13-year timeskip.

not only were everyone's memories altered to include lan wangji; to a certain degree, history itself was altered to account for his existence. those 33 elders who lan wangji injured still bear the scars from those injuries. wen yuan, who lan wangji rescued from the burial mounds, now lives as lan sizhui. furthermore, once he came to exist, lan wangji was able to affect the world just as any other human: he did in fact save all those people as hanguang-jun, and he did in fact defend wei wuxian during the second siege. yet, says lan qiren, this alteration to history was not perfect: because edits to history were kept absolutely minimal, there are currently many "gaps" where lan wangji logically should be had he existed from the start, yet is absent from: these include nie huaisang's lack of childhood memories with lan wangji, and lan xichen's lack of memory of what happened to lan wangji after he returned from visiting wei wuxian in yiling.

and then there are the anti-miracle chambers. impervious to all reality- and history-altering miracles, the anti-miracle chambers and the records within them contain no mention of lan wangji before a certain date during the 13 year timeskip. thus, only one thing can be concluded: the existence known as lan wangji was not born as an ordinary human would have been, but was rather artificially added to the world.

lan qiren then explains that both he and jiang cheng came to realize the truth a few months ago. however, he continues, looking bitter: he and jiang cheng are not allies. because the current state of affairs was caused by none other than jiang cheng himself.

many years ago, during the 13 year timeskip, jiang cheng grieved. or perhaps it is more accurate to say that jiang cheng began grieving long before that. after all, jiang cheng had never once in his life been allowed to unabashedly love wei wuxian - first because of his parents, and then because of his duty, and then finally because of yanli's death and the doom of the yiling patriarch. when, during any period in his life, would jiang cheng have been able to fully love wei wuxian? when, during any period in his life, would jiang cheng have been able to put wei wuxian above everything - as some traitorous part of himself had always wished to do, as wei wuxian deserved to have someone do for him?

and yet, despite these deficiencies, jiang cheng loved wei wuxian. even now, with both jiang yanli and wei wuxian dead in the ground, jiang cheng still loved wei wuxian.

how unfair to wei wuxian. jiang cheng could not help but feel that wei wuxian deserved better: that he deserved someone who could and who would wholeheartedly put wei wuxian first, who would abandon all other duties for wei wuxian's sake, specifically in the way that jiang cheng himself had failed to do. and yet, jiang cheng was all the universe had seen fit to give wei wuxian. in this world, in this present, everyone else hated wei wuxian. how unfair, how unfair - the unworthy jiang cheng alone still loved him.

one day, jiang cheng went on a solo nighthunt and was gored by the boar yao he was hunting. as he lay in the dirt, slowly bleeding out to what he thought would be his death, he found himself thinking of wei wuxian again. would he meet wei wuxian again in his next life? or, for the sin of brother-killing, of not-brother-killing, would he be reincarnated into diyu instead?

strange. what was previously an empty clearing had been transformed into the steps of a temple. as his consciousness faded, jiang cheng found himself wishing: i wish that someone would love you as you deserve to be loved. i wish that someone would love you in all the ways i could not. even though i wanted to be the one to do this for you. even though i failed to do this for you, i wish that someone would love you unconditionally.

when jiang cheng next awoke, all of his injuries were healed, and the existence known as "lan wangji" had been artificially added into the world.

#mdzs #mo dao zu shi #wei wuxian #lan wangji #jiang cheng #lan qiren #nie huaisang #jin ling #chengxian #zhanchengxian #< idk for sure but i feel like the potential is there #yanyan speaks #yanyan summaries #long post

The DC x DP Justice League problem

I've noticed a pattern when it comes to DC x DP crossovers where when the Justice League has to deal with anything involving the Danny phantom world They are out matched and outclassed in every way.

I know most people in the DC x DP fandoms haven't ever picked up a comic, or watched DC media that wasn't animated (or sometimes haven't even watched Danny phantom) in their lives but at some point it gets ridiculous how incompetent the regular JL is made when it comes to combating the supernatural.

And as an all-things DC enjoyer this hurts me.

Like Superman, multiple times in the past has gone up against ghosts, ghosts like beings, and ghostly Abilities using his powers like for example:

Superman was able to freeze Ghost Soldier, who could turn intangible, using his freeze breath.

He could Freeze Zatanna's astral form

He was able to decimate the Phantom Stranger's physical AND metaphysical form.

He used his freeze breath to freeze the essence/spirit of H'el in time.

When the Fortress Of Solitude's security program projections were turned into ghosts, he could still blast them with his heat vision.

He withstood being stabbed through his heart and soul with magic a sword.

He tanked silver banshees scream (which affects the spirit) head on.

His super vision can also look past someone's body and mind to examine their soul.

When it comes to Wonder Woman her shield, blade, braces, lasso, tiara, and entire body are all blessed with the power of the literal gods there is no way she wouldn't be able to go straight up to a ghost and punch it intangibility or not.

Her lasso can even drag a soul out of someone's body if needed.

Same goes for Captain Marvel and his lightning.

All of Hawkman and Hawkwoman's armor (the little of it they actually wear) and weapons are made out of nth metal, which is a metal in DC that affects supernatural beings like ghost, zombies, vampire, Spirits, specters, shade's, werewolves, "the Lazarus demon" and reanimated corpses, just like any other creature no matter how strong.

Batman and Green Arrow have an entire arsenal made out of the stuff too, just in case.

In injustice both Green Arrow and Green Lantern have whole suits made out of it.

And even if you don't count injustice, (which is understandable) Green lanterns can easily have their rings copy the atomic structure of any thing they need (like kryptonite for example) and since their suits are made from their rings, they would still have no problem making a suit (or really any weapon they need out of the stuff).

Batman has a pair of gloves that John Constantine gave him specifically used to fight ghosts.

And it's been stated that the Batcave has supernatural barriers and wards to stop ghosts and stuff from getting in. (so no just casual walking into the bat cave).

And when it comes to the whole "ghost king summoning" thing I get it it's a fun concept to play around with, but the JL and JL Dark have so many other options other than to summon what they usually believe to be an interdimensional eldritch being into their world.

like the phantom zone projector something that was able to work on Mister Mxyzptlk a full-blown reality warper from the 5th dimension.

Or contacting the other supernatural experts that aren't just Constantine and Zatanna (which are usually the only contact for supernatural problems the JL has in most fic's for some reason).

Or batman just contacting the strongest supernatural being he knows, who without a doubt would come stop a major supernatural threat (as its usually depicted)

SPAWN. (The guys so op in supernatural power it's crazy)

There are so many other options than summoning the ghost king.

And in a lot of fic's the supernatural members (or just any member that would could help in a given situation) are off world (for some reason?) so they can't be contacted.

That just doesn't make much sense when the JL has the technology of so many advanced civilizations and individual people (witch some are said to be among the smartest in the universe) at their disposal, they should be able to contact their people halfway across the universe.

All of this is to say that due to widespread ignorance of the world of Detective Comics and the capabilities of its hero's (and sometimes Danny Phantom) that most DC x DP situations, stories, and scenarios end up with the Justice League a collection of the earths greatest hero's, being completely and utterly helpless and incompetent against any problems coming from the world of Danny Phantom (or just the supernatural in general).

This is to no one's fault of course, believe me no one knows all of DC lore and all it's details in its entirety.

But being someone that knows a lot about DC and seeing how useless a lot of DC characters are portrayed in most situations when you know they really wouldn't be having that much of an issue handling it, creates a weird disconnect between the two fandoms where it always seems more like the Danny Phantom fandom with DC characters stapled to it.

#dc x dp #dpxdc #dcxdp #dp x dc #dc comics #danny phantom #superman #batman #green lantern #wonder woman #shazam #green arrow #the justice league #justice league #dc comcis #dc characters #I know it's fun but the Justice League should not be this incompetent all the time guys

Martha Kent's a better person than me because if my son came over on thanksgiving to say he's leaving his wife (and his entire identity) and it turns out that all of that was because he was being mentally influenced by a reality warper, and then a few months later after valentine's day my son came over to say his wife was leaving him (and in general not acting like herself) and he was NOT assuming that SHE'D been, at the very least, also mind controlled i'd have want to smack him upside his invulnerable head very, very badly. no wonder she was so delighted to see Kon that's a breath of fresh air when you're trying to figure out how to tell your adult, superhero son he's being an idiot and needs to get one of his many magical and/or telepathic friends to check in on this. but yeah no martha just trusts clark and trusts things will work out and i mean they do but also. kon take this woman to a spa or something idk give her a break

#clark: lois is leaving me????#martha: u mean like how u were leaving lois a couple months ago.#clark: what no like shes actually leaving me leaving me. that was dominus #martha: well good thing dominus is literally the only person who could control influence puppet manipulate or impersonate someone's mind #clark: oh i mean. hes not #martha: uh huh.#to clark's credit he DOES figure it out. AND hes doing this all while being horribly poisoned unawares #but also. man. clark i need you to call john to call batman to pay for your mother's vacation she deserves it after all this

"I heard you shout. Nightmares again?"

I think this could fit schneep and Marvin?

(Used this as an opportunity for a big reveal of some new stuff for Marvin! Happy Mermay!!)

Another night- another horrible nightmare plagues Marvin’s mind. They always feel so real…

This one is… different though. He’s staring at… a version of himself. Himself stuck in his warper state- those bright pink alien eyes staring straight through him. He watches his other self get stiffer- become more robotic- and he feels himself following after. He panics- wanting to fight the sensation but his body is locking up. The warper him just barely tilts his head towards Marvin before speaking.

“Why are you denying what we are?”

“W-What?!” Marvin stammers in fear.

There’s no emotion on the other him’s face, “We are not like the other hybrids. We are not organic, we are not human. We are machines, made to serve a purpose. Why do you keep denying what we are?”

“Because I’m more than that!” Marvin shouts back, “Warpers may be machines but I… I'm me! I’m Marvin!”

“Your feeble attempts to cling to your humanity are making you weak,” The warper him says, “A human mind has so much potential. So much to unlock. You could be more powerful than any warper ever made. Maybe even on par with the architects. Yet you turn away from what you could be. Why?”

It suddenly warps so it and Marvin are face to face, pink eyes meeting teary blue.

“Are you afraid, WH-005?”

And for a moment… the voice sounded just like Zeke’s.

Marvin shoots awake and gasps, pushing himself up in the sand to shakily try to breathe. Fresh water over his gills seems to calm him down as he grips over his heart. His… heart that he can see through his chest- beating and pumping blood. But, he feels so disconnected from it. Like his body was turning into metal. And it scared him to his very core.

He yelps in surprise and fear as he feels a gentle hand on his shoulder. Then, he sees a goggled face and relaxes some. It’s just Henrik…

“I heard you shout…” The stalker hybrid says quietly, “More nightmares?”

Marvin is quiet but then slowly nods. His voice cracks a bit as he mumbles, “…t-they just keep getting worse, Hen… I-I…!”

Henrik is quick to wrap up the younger brother in a hug and shushes him gently. “It is only a dream, Marvin… they cannot hurt you.”

The warper mer is quiet in his arms for a few beats, trying to find comfort in his embrace. But the dream still lingered like poison in his mind. He pushes himself out and swims upward. “T-That��s just it, Hen! It’s… it’s not just a dream… I-it’s things I’ve been worried about- worried that I’m… I’m too different f-from…!” He cuts himself off as he bites his lip, trying not to let tears linger in his eyes.

“M-Marvin what are you-?” Schneep tries to say. But Marvin hurriedly swims past him, towards the mouth of the cove.

“I- I need to look for answers…!” Marvin says quickly then warps away before Henrik can even get up to chase after him.

———

Marvin appears in the lost river and he blinks in confusion. “…why… am I here?” He asks, his voice echoing slightly in the dark cavern. He shudders, holding his arms tight around him. He hates it down here… here is where Zeke-

You want to find answers, right? A thought echoes through his head. And with the thought comes a feeling. Pulling him forward. Like an instinct. A need.

Marvin trembles, his tails juddering in place. But, maybe there were answers here somewhere. He shakes his head and swims after the feeling, going towards the strange alien-like arches that lead to his destination.

Though, whatever this feeling is… it’s not leading him to where Zeke had him. That was a small white suit wreck- a crude Alteran attempt at making warpers themselves… at least from what he can remember. It was all really fuzzy. But now… this is leading him to a really scary looking building. One that it seems even the white suits don’t touch. Probably because it looked like it was destroyed by… something. Something big. And the entire thing was submerged underwater. Which served Marvin just fine.

Still- looking at the strange glowing green structure hidden amongst the darkest parts of the Lost River sent shivers down the warper’s spine. But, he swallowed his fear and swam inside.

Inside was a confusing labyrinth of architecture he had rarely seen. Strangely glowing and… there were so many things locked behind glass structures. Marvin swam into an open room and gasped as he saw fuana specimens tacked onto displays. He felt sick as he saw a rabbit ray… and a huge egg that kinda reminded him of Anti.

He quickly swam out of that place- seeing massive claw marks scratched into the walls and dents of damage. But soon enough he entered a place that felt way too familiar… yet like nothing he had ever seen before.

It was horrifying… an expansive room filled with- warper parts. Several parts just left in construction- an inactive warper discarded and thrown on the floor, leaving that horrid green cage open. Just like the one that Zeke kept him for weeks, back in that wrecked Alterra copy. Clearly it had been a poorer copy of this. This… this is where the original warpers must have been made.

Seeing this all has Marcin’s heart pounding wildly, his skin raked with goosebumps. Still… this place had to have the answers he was looking for, right? The answer to what he was… was he human? Was he a machine? Was he too different from his brothers? …looking around this place though, he’s not sure this has the answer he wants to hear.

As he swims forward into the lab he tries to look around for something… he’s not exactly sure what. Surely there must be information in here… like a PDA or something?

When suddenly, his tail brushes against some kind of dark cube with glowing green lines- and lights and machines start to glow and whirl around him. Marvin freezes and whips around to look- only for some of those green metal bars and wires to crash into him and hold him in place. Marvin instantly starts to panic and fights against the cage, “no no!! Not again! L-Let me go!!”

He tries to warp but whatever this stuff is made of is suppressing his powers! He feels panicked tears welling up in his eyes and tries to struggle out more, using his claws to try to get out but the cage grabs his arms and pulls them taunt to the side. Ringing is starting up in his ears, he left his mask at the cove! He can’t lose himself here! But he feels his second pair of eyes trying to open, feels his warper instincts trying to claw their way to the surface through his panic.

One of the 4 pronged fabricators creaks loudly across the ancient ceiling as it comes to rest in front of Marvin. A blue light washes across his body, scanning him. Then, a robotic voice garbles out, almost too glitched and corrupted to understand:

‘Warper agent active but incomplete. Processing power not at full capacity.’

“What?! W-What does that mean?? P-Please just let me go! I’m not just a warper I-I’m-!” Marvin sobs. But the machines don’t listen. The fabricator arm zooms around Marvin- then latches onto his neck, inserting sharp tips under his armor.

‘Detecting damage in miniaturized phase chip. Warper agent’s self-repairing technology impaired. Reactiviating-‘

A sharp shock goes through Marvin’s nerves as his back arches and he lets out a strangled gasp of pain. Something in his blood seems to pump faster, feels… different. The… the ringing… is it getting… quieter?

‘Self repairing technology back online.’

Then, the fabricator whirls and then soars over his head, latching attachments against his skull and digging in. He screams bloody murder and tries to thrash against the pain but the cage tightens around him- holding him still.

‘Expanding processing power of Agent’s brain. Please stand by.’

The computerized voice says- now clearer as if talking directly into Marvin’s mind.

Then, there’s nothing but bright blinding pain as something pushes into his skull and electricity fills up Marvin’s whole body. He’s not sure if he’s screaming or not- he feels completely detached from his body. All he can feel is the pain as something is pushed into his mind.

When he next wakes up he’s laying down on his back on one of the tables inside the warper facility. He doesn’t even remember passing out… he groans and holds his head. It’s aching and pounding. But then as he looks out- something in his vision has changed.

He sees- words. Human words. But he can fully read and understand them now. Everywhere he looks he sees things start to get highlighted in blue, like they’re being scanned before information pops up to explain it. Just like a white suit machine. Marvin screams and tries to scramble away but- he can’t escape it! It’s all he can see!

He curls up and holds hands over his eyes, sobbing hysterically in fear. “W-What is this?! W-What’s happening to me?!”

Then, he stiffens slightly and pink blooms in his eyes as words start to fill his mind. It hurts- it hurts and he tries to fight it but there’s just urge to just- repeat the words! Say them outloud- he needs to he’s programmed to-

“Warper agents' brains and central nervous systems been digitally augmented with advanced processing power and remote communications.” Marvin says in a robotic drone, eyes glazing over slightly as the information slips from his lips.

Once he’s done, the pink fades from his eyes and the pressure lightens as he gasps. His limbs begin to tremble again, no longer stiff and robotic. He claps his hands over his mouth and chokes on a sob. That fabricator- it did something to him! Did it make him even more like a warper? More like a machine?!

Marvin rockets off the platform and back out into the rest of the facility- the rest of its freaky secrets blurring around him in his panic. The second he feels like he can warp again he does- crashing into the wall of the cove with a loud thud.

Soon enough Jackie comes into view and tries to help Marvin up, “Marvin?! Marv what’s wrong? Are you okay?!”

The touch is electric, it’s too much- it feels like Marvin’s nerves are on fire! He pushes Jackie away from him and curls up, “D-Don’t touch me!”

Jackie looks hurt, “What? Marvin-!”

More bodies start to swim closer, Marvin can feel Jamie’s tentacles and hear Schneep’s panicking. Another hand tries to touch him and he shoves it off. “Stop please just- stop…!”

“Marvin, I need to see what is wrong…!” Henrik tries to say, “Is your head hurting? Do you need your mask?”

“M-Maybe we should call for Danan?” Chase suggests shakily.

Marvin tries to look out at his brothers- and he gasps as he sees his vision start to scan them. Messages pop up, showing their designations. No no- Marvin didn’t want to see those! He whimpers and the others tense as they see flickers of pink in his eyes.

“Anti, get Marvin’s mask, quickly!” Henrik shouts. The sea dragon hesitates then grabs the mask and hurries over to hand it to Marvin. “Here,” Anti whispers, looking slightly worried.

But all Marvin can see is Anti’s designation- SE-004. And the notes of ‘return to HQ at all costs.’ Marvin chokes on a sob and curls up as much as he can, digging claws into his head as he shouts out, “no no! G-Get- GET AWAY FROM ME!!”

As he shouts this- suddenly, his mask and any lingering tech around the cave start to glow with blue light. Then, they start to float in the water despite their weight. The boys all watch this in awe. Until- the objects all shoot off in different directions, causing even more crashing sounds.

Marvin dares to look up, his eyes glowing blue now instead of pink. The others stare at him with confusion and a bit of fear.

“M-Marvin…” Schneep whispers, “…what did you do?”

#huffle tales #Mermay 2024 #whump requests 2024 #sorry it’s late :(((#but great way to start off Mermay!!#this is me trying to figure out how to make Marvin more magical #and also from lots of subnautica research I did :3 #eeee excited to see what y’all think!!#warper Marvin #warper magic #henrik von schneeplestein #reaper jackie #septnautical main story

Hey Liz! Have you ready any good spn fic lately? :)

I have, and in fact I've been spite-reading. Have a curated wincest rec list you could share with anyone you like:

Bad Blood by astolat

Rating: E Word Count: 3,718 Summary: "Fuck me or I'm going to die isn't the world's best pickup line." // "I've heard worse," Dean said. // "You've used worse," Sam said.

Original post date, 02/22/2007

Reccing because: No wincest primer would be complete without an astolat rec. You probably get fined by the Wincest FCC, otherwise. The flaw in astolat’s wincest, if we’re allowed to say such things about our saint and founder, is that Sam and Dean would sometimes fall into the whole thing super easily — this fic dispenses with that problem with a good ol’ classic dose of evil sex pollen, and if magic makes them do it then it could be a hell of a lot worse than how delightfully they do it here. I’m laughing out loud just remembering one of the scenes. Joys.

Coast On Through by philalethia

Rating: NC-17 Word Count: 7,857 Summary: A post-first-time fic. With a lot of sex.

Original post date, 12/22/2007

Reccing because: This is a true all-timer wincest fic. Though the characterization is of its 2007 time, the Winchesters still feel like themselves, and more important feel like adults who are trying to navigate their very odd circumstances. A real classic of the brothers-with-benefits genre.

Keep Our Minds on the Sum of Each Other by lazy_daze

Rating: E Word Count: 9,593 Summary: N/A; provided tags are Bodyswap

Original post date, 12/26/2007

Reccing because: What a cheerful fuckin’ fic this is, for a fic about incestuous fuckin’. This takes the apocalyptic stakes and reels them back to a just deeply entertaining romp. Not too worried about the plot and much more worried about how hot these two are when they slam together, it’s a refreshingly non-angsty take on what it means that you just want to slurp on your brother wholesale.

Filthy Mind by rivkat

Rating: E Word Count: 26,384 Summary: Dean acquires unwelcome nightly visitors. Set post-Hell, without details as to how that happens.

Original post date, 10/07/2008

Reccing because: RivkaT is perhaps the all-time understander of the Weird Affect of Dean Winchester (As Played By Jensen Ackles) and the entirely destabilizing effect that affect has on the world. A real reality-warper. This fic deals with non-con and dub-con and who-knows-what-con and everything in between in a way that is more thoughtful than tawdry (although you can certainly enjoy the tawdriness as presented and the fic does not judge you for that). It also, thrillingly, deals with Sam’s alarm about the whole thing in a way which is fairly unflinching: he wants and does not want to want and also just really, really desperately wants-- Fans of Sheila’s analysis will probably enjoy this one.

seeing double by candle_beck

Rating: PG-13 Word Count: 5,127 Summary: Dean has a concussion and his better senses come and go.

Original post date, 04/24/2009

Reccing because: I know there are more famous and more favored c_b fics, but this one is such a supremely perfect scene that it should be at the top of all c_b rec lists. It isn’t the catastrophic misery or assholery or intensity of some of the other big hitters but this just has this searingly true and singular experience coursing through it: to wit, that Dean is hurt and Sam is upset and then sorry and then in love. Which isn’t a half-bad summary of Supernatural itself, really.

The incestuous courtship of the antichrist’s bride by fleshflutter

Rating: NC-17 Word Count: 48,000 Summary: Sam is trying to become the Antichrist in order to save the world. He has a small army of angels and demons, he has an adoring cult, he has a work of prophecy by Jack Kerouac, and he has Dean. Things are going pretty well until he accidentally signs Dean up as his Beloved Consort, a role that requires sex with the Antichrist on an altar. And that's when things stop going pretty well. Also, the soundtrack to the Apocalypse sucks.

Original post date, 06/08/2009

Reccing because: It is so, so rare to find crack fics that work. This is crack treated like crack and also taken entirely seriously, which is a rare balance to find. When it needs to be horror it works, when it needs to be ridiculous it works, when it needs to be hot as fuck it works, and never has the phrase ‘apocalyptic cock’ been so appropriate and so wonderful in context.

I’ve Got A Hand For You by Edwardina

Rating: E Word Count: 14,938 Summary: Sam's inexperience is showing, and Dean helps the best way he knows how.

Original post date, 03/12/2010

Reccing because: This is underage par excellence, as wonderfully weird and vaguely creepy and hot and alarming as it should always be. Dean’s 19 and Sam’s 14 and they should not but they are, and if that isn’t just a summary of Supernatural as a whole I don’t know what is. On the face of it this is a vaguely gnasty first time fic, but what sets this one apart is how earnestly real it is — the grimy-but-not-OTT reality of the details, Sam’s goofy kiddishness being complicated by the reality of what hormones are and do, Dean’s too-cool-ness alleviated by the fact that he’s nineteen and therefore still an idiot, trying earnestly to help and getting it wrong and getting it very right, all at the same time. The attention to detail here just knocks me over with a feather. Gorgeous work.

Two Part Invention by De_Nugis

Rating: T Word Count: 6,938 Summary: Dean settles down, Sam finds him, they settle some things.

Original post date, 12/25/2010

Reccing because: I very much appreciate a fic that, on the face of it, seems like an OOC premise, and then as soon as you think about it for fifteen seconds you realize — oh, of course, of course that’s how it should be and how it would go. This fic delivers on that feeling in spades. There’s a deep appreciation here for how complicated Sam Winchester is and how strange and hard it would be to have his life, and zero judgment, really, for what he and Dean have to do to make that life tenable. I appreciate the subtlety here so much.

Top This by leonidaslion

Rating: E Word Count: 4,076 Summary: Dean's sure he's a top. Only problem is, Sam's pretty sure that's his job …

Original post date, 04/10/2011

Reccing because: Is this crack? It surely is. Is it PWP? You bet. Is it in character? To be honest it hardly matters, but despite the context and conceit it does manage, somehow, to kinda feel like Sam and Dean Winchester from the canon of the show Supernatural, and that is a trick that earns it a spot on this list. Especially the way Sam goes slightly smug there at the end. Delights.

It’s the Blueprint of Your Life by queenklu

Rating: E Word Count: 38,400 Summary: Sam jerks awake in the middle of the night and everything goes to hell. Well, not literally, though Dean is staring down the barrel of less than a year before his deal comes due. In the midst of dealing (or not dealing) with his impending death, a killer ghost ship, and Bela showing up out of the blue, Dean also has to figure out what’s going on in Sam’s head to make him so twitchy, why he’s suddenly breezing through this case while writing endless notes in a notebook he won’t let Dean see. Damn it, Dean thinks, This is gonna take a lot of chickflick moments.

Original post date, 10/09/2011

Reccing because: Time travel fic is fun as hell, and time travel fic that just soaks you in dramatic irony is even more fun, and more importantly time travel fic where the time traveler doesn’t have all the answers is best of all. Very little is better than Dean being somewhat at sea and Sam loving him fiercely and this fic delivers that in spades. I could only wish it were a little longer, which is a very, very rare statement from me.

The Fall Will Probably Kill You by killabeez

Rating: M Word Count: 6,773 Summary: Set between 7.04 and the aftermath of 7.07. Dean is not as okay as he'd like you to think. Neither is Sam.

Original post date, 11/06/2011

Reccing because: This fic is thoroughly in and of and intensely about season 7, which I adored and which doesn’t get enough credit from the fandom. It deals with the Sam’s Insanity arc in a way that’s angstier and ficcier than the show itself but it does so in this stupendous and murderously flat way. Dean is at his wit’s end and Sam is, too, but Sam’s finding a way to deal with it, and Sam will not compromise on what dealing with it means, and we’re all just forced to live with it. Fantastic reading experience, especially for the almost literal jumpscare you get about 2/3s through.

The Hunter Games by theproblematique

Rating: NC-17 Word Count: 92,601 Summary: When the infamous Winchester bad luck strikes twice in quick succession Sam and Dean are forced to compete in the most brutal reality TV show ever created. It’s impossible to escape the battlefield, hiding can only be temporary, and alliances inside those dark, bloodstained woods last about as long as it takes for the other Hunter to figure out how to use your weapons. And then kill you with them.

Original post date, 06/22/2012

Reccing because: This is a true all-timer wincest AU fic. We’re mostly all familiar with the source material, but this work blends the universe of the Hunger Games with the characterization & destiny of the Winchester boys in a way that’s extremely satisfying. The author’s other works are recced more often, but this piece is more deserving of a place as One Of Those Reclist Fics.

Kevin Tran for President by glovered

Rating: T Word Count: 11,714 Summary: Dean comes back from Purgatory to find Sam working as a barista at a coffee shop near Princeton, watching over Kevin Tran.

Original post date, 10/04/2012

Reccing because: Sometimes you just need a post-Purgatory fic that isn’t brutal. This story’s a light-hearted trip-along froth like most of glovered’s work, but there’s something in specific about this unfraught coming-together that makes it incredibly readable. Dean and Sam aren’t entirely on the same page but the relief of reunion makes everything else fade a little into the distance, and the charming little job they find themselves on here gives enough of an excuse for them to figure some things out. Also probably the best Cas & Meg side characters in a fic, so there’s that too.

Clear and simple and plain by Trojie

Rating: E Word Count: 1,893 Summary: After Sam gives up the Trials, things start getting better.

Original post date, 10/26/2013

Reccing because: This is a post-Trials fic where things don’t go incredibly wrong, which is a nice AU to sit in for a while. What’s impressive about this story, written in the time it was, is that it manages to presage the ~s11 era marriage very well indeed, in tone and vibe and even some content. They’re in the bunker and things aren’t perfect, but they’re together, and that’s a kind of perfection of its own. It isn’t sugary but it’s the kind of adult complex sweetness that makes one feel better, anyway.

hello by allwellandgood (formerly askance)

Rating: T Word Count: 4,128 Summary: There's a woman at the grocery store named Evelyn who always rings him up on the days he ventures out for food and she knows him, or likes to think she does. I hope you're not too lonely, she'll say. He chooses not to tell her that his dead brother sleeps at his feet every night. He'd rather not be the cause of her inevitable heart attack.

Original post date, 08/11/2014

Reccing because: So Dean’s dead. Everyone dies at some point. This fic is a beautifully soft and tender and bitterly kind way to deal with that. You feel Sam’s loss deep in your chest but it’s okay, because this is the world of Supernatural and there are options, and the relief he gets pours over like cool water. Not enough, and it’s not fixed, but it’s not as much of a misery as it was.

The Time Traveler’s Brother by amypond45

Rating: R Word Count: 55,458 Summary: Dean's life is turned upside down the night his mother dies. But that's also the night a mysterious grown-up version of Dean's brother first appears in his life. While Dean grows up, "Old Sam" is often there, especially when Dean's father isn't, and as Dean learns what the future holds, he begins to question everything his father has taught him about who he is and what he is supposed to become. Can Dean find a way to save his little brother from his own future? This pre-series AU follows Dean from age four to eighteen.

Original post date, 02/26/2015

Reccing because: It’s rare to have an AU so thoroughly engage with what the alternate universe it constructs means for characterization and plot. This does something outstanding with the Sam and Dean (and Deans) created by the conceit, but also uses that conceit to do something entirely new with the canon plot that just flips me over every time I remember it. There are some fantastic character insights here, both complimentary and not, but I’ll never be over the specific scene of young!Dean looking up at older!Dean and being disappointed. That’s him, that’s our little angst machine.

The King of Imperfections Takes Back the Prince of Mistakes: a fairy tale by britomart_is

Rating: E Word Count: 4,822 Summary: And they lived happily ever after.

Original post date, 06/06/2016

Reccing because: The summary is pretty much the summary and that’s such a relief, sometimes. They’re awful and stupid and they’re in love and love isn’t enough except it is, and they’re so friggin’ MARRIED in the most wonderful and dorky way. They have good-bad sex and they have idiot arguments and they’ve made it. Back in 2016 this seemed like the best possible option. Reading this story feels like reading 4800 words of relief.

Raw Food Diet by themegalosaurus

Rating: E Word Count: 2,959 Summary: Sam has one more meeting today. This one isn’t in his diary; not the public calendar everyone at the firm can access, nor the private one on his cell.

Original post date, 02/14/2019

Reccing because: If you were looking for depressing and almost revolting Lebanon AU, you’re in luck. This is serial killer!Dean at his worst and Sam Jobs at his (still slightly martyred) almost-worst and it’s the frankly gross and logical conclusion to: what would it mean, if those two horrible shitheads were still together, somehow or some way? It’s always almost a relief when fic manages to do a not-happy ending and this definitely does that. Refreshing, in its way, though you might want a shower after.

Ions in the Ether by nigeltde

Rating: E Word Count: 10,860 Summary: When was the last time you trusted happy.

Original post date, 03/12/2019

Reccing because: For any s2 obsessives as our author here is, this is a deep and alarming and inside-out dive into the obsession with a brother and with monstrousness and with what’s true and what’s not and also can you tell the difference, after all. A murky swirl through a shithole town, this fic picks and pries at wincest-as-concept in a way that’s somewhat achy and alarming and is overall delightful, if you’re willing to take the time to think about it. Plus Sam’s hot, which is of course a bonus.

there will be better days by deadlybride

Rating: E Word Count: 9,430 Summary: Sam and Dean settle into their heaven.

Original post date, 11/24/2020

Reccing because: I’m crass. But also I can’t think of another fic that feels as much like heaven as this one and I wanted heaven on the list.

#wincest #fic recs #happy wincest wednesday #this is partly borne from an absolutely shitty reclist i saw the other day lol #i admit to being powered by spite #Those Reclist Fics have a weird power over fandom #and i want better stuff to get read #so! read these!#and comment while you're at it

Here's the rest babyyyyy

Part 1 | Part 3

Some quotes because I couldn't find the energy to draw this:

C Pep: Can you help me ?

C Noise, smoking and grining : How about you help yourself to some gym courses Nahahaha! C Pep pulls out a candy out of his pocket : I'll-a give you this if you do C Noise throws his cigar up in the air: Okay nevermind I'm in

*C Pep and C Noise are looking down menacingly at a planet* C Pep : ... sodas ? C Noise : *shakes head in disagreement* hum-hum, mustard and ketchup. *Suddenly, the oceans of the planet turn into mustard oceans and the lakes and sources into ketchup.* *Both entities laugh and giggles* Eldritch being : Bow to me worthless being, your power is nothing but a speck compared to mine... C Pep : What if I hit you with-a this sandal reaaaally hard ? Eldritch being : ... HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO ME LIKE THA- *Gets squashed like a mosquito* C Pep as he looks at Cancer: See piccolitto ? When someone bad-mouths you, you must call an adult so they can slap them across the face for-a you .

Now that the main two have been properly developed, here's a little info on cosmic Pepperman.

here's some older drawings, I thought I'd share it now or they'll never see the light of the day...

In this version, he's no longer a cosmic entity but just an eldritch entity, not quite as powerful but still enough to absolutely desimate entire worlds

What brought such a being into existence you may ask ?

Well, all of the magic and pride from every Pepperman in the multiverse formed a entity at the image of their paintings. Don't think of him as Pepperman tho, he's not, he's but a mear incarnation of pride and ego, a very one dimensional on in fact, he litteraly doesn't know his name is Phil, any complicated deep feelings simply don't exist for him.

He just loves to brag about his beauty, his art (especially his art) and power, very irritating guy...

mini comic time:

He HATES C Peppino, not because he undermined him the first time he met him, it's because he can't accepte the fact that the power of creation is owned by a stressed out messy old man, and not the MIGHTY Pepperman.

Now, the Ticket Stand

First, let's clarify this: the Ticket stand is the booth with the entity inside, the entity inside is just called "Ticket stand guy"

The Ticket Stand guy is an entity of the void, it came to life after absorbing a small flame from C Pep's primordial fire. It just passes time by selling it's services as a reality warper for the fair price of $10.

I've already quite developed it's story, so I'll just give you some doodles

C Noise thinks it's funny, and pointless. Why would the void need personification ? And why choose a F. Pep ?

C Pep thinks he's more of a hasard than anything, not very fond that a void entity is casually going around the multiverse. But it seems calm enough, so he let's it live. Pretty much every eldritch entities in the cosmic realm can destroy the multiverse if they wanted so... yeah...he's used to it

and now, Noisette !

Noisette is a little star traveler ! She wonders throughout realms atop her umbrella.

She's quite the bubbly chatter box, and loves to hear adventures from other people.

Here she isn't fond of C Noise at all, she thinks he's an obnoxious weirdo

She likes C Pep tho, he's a funny man

She's not very developed I'm sorry, but I love her and her design and couldn't bring myself to ignore her.

And uuuh idk now... I still have some stuff...

hum... oh! Not so fun fact, C Pep and C Noise know about the au's previous versions, everytime I change my mind the world resets but not their memory, their power may change from time to time but other than that that's all. C Pep's gotta remake a new patch of universes everytime... oh god, glad it's the final version...

Now, random shit idk :

just putting this here so I remember I have to finish this drawing.

This was the first ever Cosmic Noise drawing, back at january when he was just called "Nebulla Noise"

hehe, bluepino

Oh, remember Nebulosa Peppino ? Here's Nebulosa Noise, well technically here's the preparatory photo

Cool isn't it ? Idk if I'll ever finish him, I don't think I will now...

And here's C Pep using one of his beta color palettes, back when I wanted him to harbor dark blues to blend with the cosmos, with white glowing eyes stairing at you from the abyss, of course the original didn't look nearly as good as this, I had to tweak it up a little

This is a scraped mini comic I made, I didn't post it due to it's poor quality, but what the hell I'll post it now

And this is a whole lot more bigger scrapped comic starring C Noise and the soon to be C Noisette of this version. I never bothered to finish it because back when I made it, I barely had an idea of what the AU is about and it just didn't match with my idea of the Cosmic AU eventually. You can try to read it, but I warn you it's full of weird shit.

This is also a scrapped comic. In this story, C Pep creates out of a burst of creativity a cheese town with a cheese castle, cheese people with their cheese king and queen (none of them are sentient). Eventually the town is attacked by space rats (yes, space rats are a thing), C Pep beats them off effortlessly but got flamed up in the heat of the fight, in his absolute shock he sees that his flames didn't melt anything in the town, after repairing some buildings that broke during the fight, he leaves... but he didn't realise that during the fight his primordial fire gave sentience to all cheese people who witnessed his heroic acts. The cheese people immediately start to carve, write and sing about the story of The Mighty Cosmic chef, creator and hero of Cheesetopia. It was fun in my head but I eventually got a little bored and passed on some other projects.

Part 3

SansNautica Sneak Peak - The Escape of the Dunes

Here is another small sneak peak drabble for the gang pov from my Sansnautica project :3 @0p1er0 as promised a tag for you :3

*--------------------------------------*

Killer yelps as he barely manages to dodge a swipe from another Warper.

He turns back and growls at the mess of weird metal and biology that always makes him unnerved. They always smell of rot and disease.

The warper speaks in its gargled voice “Level of intelligence. Recognised. Mode: Bargaining. Return stolen sample.”

Killer glares “Go die in the lava river you freak!” and he rushes as more show up. Damnit damnit!

It speaks again as Killer tries to swim further away and escape “One of four stolen samples. Found. Status. Stolen. Return sample.”

Killer glares and sticks out his tongue as he changes directions again “No you weirdo! Those eggs aren’t your samples!” the egg Little Flipper had found. It was a cuddlefish egg. One of the fish that Cross’s species had been mimicking.

The biology between the mers and the fishes looking like them is slightly weird. In a way they could lay eggs that could birth the fishes instead of mers. Thought it would take a lot os specified intent and magic to accomplish.

Cross however hadn’t been able to do this and had been so sad. Believing everything related to his species had been extinct. Killer by the very beings who had held Cross captive. The very beings who made these warpers.

To have Little Flipper manage to find one. In one of the other visitors bases no less! The fact he had given the little precious thing back to them.

Cross had been very protective of the small egg but been anxious about where to leave it to hatch. Scared to leave it to hatch and be hurt by the environment.

Nightmare had taken the time to check the small egg before speaking in a calming voice to their newest mate. That the egg was in hibernation and some gentle healing would help the egg get ready to hatch.

Then came the discussion of where to leave the egg to hatch. As Cross didn’t feel okay with it being near the warpers. Scared they would try to capture the new fishes and hurt them as was their mission. Nightmare had nodded and agreed as well. He offered to call for his brother to bring the newly found egg to a safer area beyond the void. Or even to call Reaper to do so for them.

Cross had looked unsure but nodded. Saying it would be best for the little egg. Give it a chance.

At the moment it was safely hidden in the underwater caverns. A large space that the other survivors and most other creatures hadn’t found quite yet. Hidden deep deep under water. Lower than even the lava lakes. The very place that their shiver called home which they had secret tunnels to lead up and down into.

Nightmare had used some of his magic to make a special cradle of plants for the small egg to keep safe and nurture. Cross had been anxious and watching the egg as much as he could.

Which just makes Killer all the madder that these rotting things wanted to take it away from Cross!

Crossy has already gone through so much and they dare to even try to take the egg?! Killer is furious.

Killer hisses at the warper “It isn’t yours!”

The warpers gargle more weird sounds that irritate his hearing before speaking “Negotiation failed. Changing modes. Hunting.” And those sharp slashing arms gleam as they rush him.

Killer yelps as he manages to twist and twirl around them as he rips one of their heads off along the way.

Killer pants as he rushes and swims away as fast as he can. Trying to twist around as many obstacles as possible but those things keep disappearing and appearing right in front of him forcing him to change directions.

Killer gets in the rhythm as he searches for the way down to safety when it happens. A warper appears from a side he didn’t expect and he feels it hit his tail.

It hurts so badly but he can’t stop swimming. He forces himself to keep swimming as he rushes out of the area. Then he sees the area change to just sand and more sand. But Killer has to keep swimming as those thing blast out those balls which make him appear somewhere else.

He keeps swimming when he notices that the warpers aren’t following him anymore. Or at least not as fast anymore.

Killer pants as he slowly slows down. Oh thank fuck. Okay. Where does he need to go down? He is bleeding quite heavily and his tail hurts so bad. He needs to get down and relax in their nest as his mates help him relax after Nightmare took care of his wounds.

He glances around when he realises where he is.

Only to hear a loud roar behind him.

Killer gulps as he turns around and sees a large reaper leviathan. The large maw coming straight for him!

Killer rushes off again as he ignores the pain “Shit shit shit! Don’t you stupid fuck smell Nightmare’s claim on me?! Leave me alone!” he keeps rushing deeper into the dunes feeling more and more nervous as he hears more roars.

He of course knows that the reaper leviathans are very territorial in this area. Seeing as there are many here they tend to get braver and bolder even with the mark of a mer leviathan on Killer.

It could also be the scent of blood.

Now that Killer thinks about it? It is totally the blood.

Killer keeps rushing and pushing his body as he keeps trying to outmanoeuvre the coming attacks.

It doesn’t take long before he is trying to outswim four of them. His body hurts and he is so tired. What does he do?

Something shoots passed him and Killer can’t help but stare. It is small but has a little light that blinks and he wants to rush after it. Two of the attacking reaper rush after it and struggling between them to get to it first.

Another reaper rushes him before something nearly white hits it and it… freezes? It doesn’t move anymore.

Something touches him and he turns to snap his own jaws on it only to stare.

Why is Little Flippers in this area?!

Then Little Flippers just flips upside down and tugs Killer with him downwards. Killer watches back in shock as the fourth and last reaper swims right into the frozen one and it starts struggling and fighting it instead.

Killer isn’t even sure what to make of this!! Why is Little Flipper here?! Killer wants to push him away. Get him to run. For the little guy has a tight grip on him as they swim down.

A loud roar in the distance.

Oh shit that is number five.

Killer tries to help them swim and speed up but his tail just hurts to much and he groans. Shit. He is going to slow Little Flipper down too much.

Little Flipper moves his hands around and Killer honestly wants to make sure to keep a tight hold on the other. If worse comes to worse one may bite him and maybe taste the claim of Nightmare on Killer but Little Flipper doesn’t have this security. Little Flipper will be eaten in a bite with no hesitation!

Little Flipper aims a tool towards the leviathans and it blasts more of the mostly white with a little blue blasts and those cause the reapers to freeze in place for a short while. He grabs one little device from his belt and lets it fly and Killer gasps. It is another one of those little floating lights!

Little Flipper had been exploring the dunes on his own… with tools to freeze and distract the reapers as he made his escape…

And Killer was slowing him down. Killer could see it. They aren’t going nearly fast enough to escape together.

Little Flipper is going to die because he tried to help Killer.

Little Flipper starts messing with the thing on his back that makes him able to swim as the reapers slowly start to be able to move again. Killer is very aware that the thing that made them freeze had sputtered and the lights of it had gone out.

Little Flipper takes out a weird little cylinder before taking a much bigger one out of some weird patch on his skin. Killer decides to push that terror and crisis down for now.

The little alien selkie puts the bigger one into the thing on his back and the little information giver he carries with him makes a sound. Killer doesn’t think it was a good sound as Little Flipper frowns before putting the acquired cylinder into the tool that made everything slow down and stop. Which lights up again as Little Flipper takes aim and shoots more of those blasts at the reapers.

And Killer thought Little Flipper had good aim with peepers. He is much better with this thing than just throwing stuff apparently.

As Little Flipper tries to slow their hunters down Killer bties through the pain to try and get them both to safety.

It is little use though as the reapers keep getting closer. Killer tries to get Little Flipper to just go. He will be fine which he mutters to him “It is okay. I swear I will be fine! Just go.” he tries to let go and push the other away but as said before.

Little Flipper had a very tight grip and he glares at him with barely contained rage. He puts Killer’s hand on his shoulder and points to it with the sign for Stay. Which honestly seems more like an order than a suggestion.

Killer feels terrible as he keeps holding onto the other. Maybe he can transfer some of the claim over? Make them both smell of Nightmare? Maybe that will give him a little bit of safety?

That information giver makes another sound and Little Flipper looks beyond excited. Killer doesn’t feel very sure however as the thing on his back sounds mad at this point. It rumbles and seems to growl.

Little Flipper shoots one big blast at the group of reapers before he motions for Killer to hold on tight again. Killer does as ordered when Little Flippers hits the thing on his back and they just get launched.

Little Flipper makes a tiny noise of distress and Killer is quick to try and direct them better. Little Flipper is clearly not used to this kinda speed and Killer is! He can help direct them!

Killer sees the mushroom forest in the distance and cheers once they enter it. Only to feel Little Flipper push him off and Killer watches confused. Only to see Little Flipper look slightly panicked as he twists and turns with zero control of his direction or speed as he unclips his swimming helper. It shoots off as Little Flipper is left twirling without control.

Killer rushes to his side and grabs him and rights him. He looks to the side to see where the swimming helper went only to see it explode and Killer holds unto the other tighter. That thing had been stuck to him! Had Little Flipper noticed it getting close to hurting them?!

Had Little Flipper made him let go first in case he couldn’t undo it himself in time?!

Killer can’t keep the hiss of pain in as he tries to stay level and is forced to let them sink. Little Flipper looks at him with those pick sockets before pointing towards one of the mushroom tops. Killer nods “Yeah. You are right… It is best if we take a moment.”

Killer makes sure to be careful and gentle when he puts Little Flipper down on the surface of one of the mushroom tops. The mushroom forest should generally be safe as long as they don’t go to the edges too much.

And then Little Flipper pulls him down next to him and Killer stares as Little Flipper looks so worried at his tail. Killer laughs “It is okay… yeah it hurts but the shiver will be great at helping me! We just need to relax and let them find us.” His shiver will find him quickly enough.

Killer watches as Little Flipper turns to his skin as he taps something near his hips. It lights up and he pulls out somekind of pack or something.

Right! Because apparently the aliens that had the little selkie decided to not just brand him?! But also mess with it to make him able to store things in his skin with magic?! Killer had seem some stuff which did this with Farm but those were boxes! Farm called them dimension boxes and they hold a lot of space.

What kind of freaks would force a selkie to use their skin for that?!

Little Flippers doesn’t seem bothered as he pulls out some gel or something and nears his tail. He shoots him a nervous look but Killer isn’t worried. It is Little Flipper! He may be a spitfire but he is a little sweety.

He relaxes and puts the gel on his tail and oh… that is actually really nice? It numbs the overheated feeling and the pain gets less obvious. Some soft cloths or something are wrapped tightly around the wounds and Little Flipper nods before putting the little pack he had pulled out back into his suit.

Killer makes sure to slowly move his tail before pushing off with a grin as it is easier to swim again! He can make sharp turns! Somethings are still harder to do but this is amazing! He can swim!

The ache slowly returns and Killer is quick to slow down. Okay. So. Maybe not healed but enough to help and support him.

Killer makes his way slowly back to Little Flipper to see him just laying on the mushroom and he feels guilty. The other is probably tired and scared and doesn’t even know what to do as he can’t swim… and Killer just left him alone to enjoy a swim. He is such an asshole. Wait!

Killer grins as he quickly swims to where he saw the swimming helper go. It looks back and broken but maybe Little Flipper can fix it?

Killer inches closer “Hey… Little Flipper?” he hangs over the other and Little Flipper just tilts his skull at him as he holds up the swim helped. Little Flipper takes the thing with a smile. He turns it around being he starts to frown at it. After it he just shakes his skull, he points towards the item and signs No.

Oh shit it can’t help him anymore! Little Flipper needs that to swim! All because Killer got himself into a mess and couldn’t… Killer feels so guilty before realising it is already getting dark.

Killer looks up and around as he tries to think.

Little Flipper looks up before pushing himself up. He walks towards the edge of the mushroom and looks down with a frown.

Killer rushes to his side and stops him. Little Flipper looks at him confused and blinks with those big sockets. Killer makes sure to point to him and then the mushroom top. He signs Stay and waits for a moment. Little Flipper looks curious but sits back down. Waiting.

Perfect!

Killer grins as he rushes off. He used to make nests in the mushroom forest all the time! He considers which one would work well for him before deciding on one that is only a little bit bigger than he used to pick out. He goes to where it connects to the rest of the plant before he gets to work on clawing the side, just under the hard shell on top. He works quickly as he makes a small opening before starting to hallow it out to form a small nest.

If they need to stay here to wait for the rest of the shiver to find them he needs to make sure they have a comfortable little spot. Show Little Flipper that Killer can 100% keep him safe and comfortable.

That the whole reaper attack thing was a happening and NOT the normal!

Killer works quickly as he cleans it out and tests it to make sure it is still sturdy and comfortable. The inside is still soft to the touch and perfect to rest is tail on. The hole is just big enough to let Killer crawl into and the mushroom scent will hide them from most predators!

It is perfect.

It is already dark and Killer rushes back to the spot where Little Flipper should still be waiting and there he is and Killer feels himself coo. The little selkie is asleep. Good thing Killer made a comfortable space for them!

He gets to his side and Killer carefully grabs him. Little Flipper is awake immediately and turns and pushes himself away from him before he seems to realise it is just Killer.

Killer feels sheepish as he makes grabby hands at Little Flipper “I am so sorry. I just got excited. I promise it is okay.” Little Flipper lets out a tiny snort and Killer feels so happy. He is slowly adapting back to fit into the water! He is healing! Then the little selkie nods and waits as he looks at him with a smile. He is trusting him.

Killer purrs deep in his chest as he carefully picks the other up and takes them to his newly made nest. He takes Little Flipper to the stem holding the mushroom top and points him towards the hole. He looks curious enough at it but checks with him. Killer grins and motions him towards the hole with the Go sign.

Little Flipper blinks at the hole before shrugging and crawling into the nest. Killer feels his soul speed up as he watches the other touch and explore the tiny nest. Feeling proud that the tiny nest was accepted. So this is how Dust and Cross felt when Little Flipper accepted the metal and kelp nest they made.

Killer crawls in after and puts an arm around Little Flipper to help him deeper into the mushroom nest. Killer rolls up around Little Flipper and sighs happily. There. Safe and comfy.

Killer glances and snorts at the shocked and confused look on the alien selkies face. Killer purrs and coos “Comfy? We can just sleep in here and we will be safe. I promise!”

Little Flipper looks at how they are laying. Looks at the exit hole for a moment. Before sighing as he wiggles in place and pushes deeper into the soft mushroom texture as he closes his sockets.

Killer is sad to not be able to see those eye lights. Those are the easiest way to get an idea for how the other feels but it is alright.

He falls asleep really quickly. The soft breathing evening out as exhaustion of the day tugs at him.

Killer just keeps holding the other close. He nuzzles the smaller skull and purrs loudly. Their tiny little selkie. Killer would love to mark and scent him already but he won’t.

Crossy would be so sad if Killer tried to take the next step before him. So Killer won’t.

But holding and cuddling the other is allowed. And Killer sighs as he feels sleep tug at him as well.

Killer is comfortable and he has a tiny body to snuggle and hold close as he sleeps. His tail is patched up and feels a lot better than before and they are safely hidden away.

They will wait for the shiver to find them and make sure to take Little Flipper with them back to their own nest. Hide him away with the rest of them.

Killer sighs as he falls asleep. Making sure to keep a tight hold on the other as he breaths in his scent mixing with his own in the safety of the nest.
