The Lost Boys

Leisure Headcanons

💋 David 💋

Is a skilled fire arm shooter. (Loves the cowboy aesthetic)

Has his own gun hidden in the cave.

Doesn't get the chance too often, but will ride a horse when the chance arises.

Likes wood carving. Mostly non specific whittling into basic shapes or animals. It helps him relax.

Movie nut! When the boys go the Max's store to fool around, David makes sure to tuck a movie or two that catches his eye in his coat. Tends to watch them alone, all the questions from Paul would just grate on his nerves too much.

I imagine David would be like REALLY good at origami for no particular reason. He doesn't even try, just once the boys do it just because and he's just the best at it.

I don't know if vampires can emerge in water in the lost boys lore, but if they can David loves to swim. Chilling in water clears his mind.

💀 Dwayne 💀

Skater boi! Does a lot of sick tricks, but when you can levitate it's less impressive. XD

Doesn't care for guns, but likes archery. Hammers his own arrow heads. Dwayne and David like to pick a spot in the woods to shoot make shift targets.

A real book worm. Will spend a lot of time just silently reading for hours.

Takes up knitting from time to time. He prefers hand knitted blankets and throws rather then the store ones.

Likes to make jewelry. Made his own necklace.

Enjoys all types of puzzles. Cross word, jigsaw, and brain teasers.

Can sew and offers to sew up holes made in all the clothes the boys decide not to get new ones.

🌿 Paul 🌿

Can play the guitar.

Also likes to sing, and is pretty good at it. Wanted to start a band, but the other boys weren't up for it.

Has the biggest music collection and is always hogging the tabletop/cassette/cd player.

Amateur photography. Just likes to take photos randomly. Some are really artsy.

Got really into tie dye for a while. Although he might have just been high.

When he wants to relax, Paul really likes to stargaze. Laying outside the cave looking at the sky and hearing the waves of the ocean just makes him feel at peace.

When David isn't using the tv monitor, Paul enjoys quite a few video games. He also likes to take on the arcade and carnival games at the boardwalk.

🪶 Marko 🪶

Aside from pigeons, Marko will try to domesticate a number of animals to the cave, including stray dogs, cats, deer, badgers, squirrel, foxes, bats, and even a black bear once.

He in fact did NOT domesticate a black bear, but he did wrestle one.

He does his own patchwork on his jacket.

Like David, he likes to sculpt into wood, but he usually carves patterns and landscapes into more grand pieces.

He's also a skilled painter. Mostly he'll paint murals on sections of the cave David says is ok for him to paint on.

He collects sea shells on the beach.

He'll style the others hair. Especially David who he'll cut and dye in the way he likes best.

🔥Pack Activities🔥

Dart throwing. The bigger the target the better. David and Dwyane are very competitive at this one specifically.

Rollerblading. Put wheels on shoes, what more can you want?

Listening to music. The boys have very wide music tastes and sometimes they cross over and they all like the same stuff. They take turns around the player of their choice to just smoke, drink, and listen to the sounds of the music plays.

Card games. Specifically poker when they're all together. They make things more interesting when they make bets.

And of course motocycle cruising and board walk loitering.

Something that always strikes me with vampires in fiction and indeed with any immortal creature with the high and emotional intelligence of humans. IMMORTALITY IS FUCKING BORING!

I mean, think about it. Imagine you're given all the free time in the world with very little responsibility with no fear of getting sick or tired allowed to do pretty much whatever you want. What would you do? Cause I would go stir crazy. So I came up with these dumb little head canons on how I image the boys specifically would pass the time in their little vampire lives that doesn't revolve around murdering and feeding off of people.

Of course cruising on their bikes come to mind. And there's a couple in the movie we get to see like Dwayne's skateboarding and Marko's fondness for pigeons but I wanted to throw more possibilities out there. :3

[so-mordor-itis]

BESTIE CONGRATS ON 1k!!!!!! also u said earlier u wanted to write angst, so i present you with a prompt: “after a gunshot wound” with leon !! pls and thank u ;3

❛ i couldn’t utter my love when it counted, but i’m singing like a bird about it now.❜

--

Pain. It was seering, shooting up from your side to every part of your body. It was as if someone had cracked you open and replaced every nerve with stabbing pieces of glass. You cried out, holding your side as your back slammed against the wall. Soon, warmth flooded between your fingers. You didn't even need to look down to see what it was.

The person who had shot you had collapsed, their face now planted to the ground, the gun which had shot you now tossed to a different area entirely. This was supposed to be a persuasive mission, one that meant elaborating details for neutrality. You were supposed to discuss methods to cooperate.

Now, you were carrying a bullet in your hip.

You didn't even remember how it got to this point. No use dwelling on that now.

You attempted to trek across the room, holding your side as hard as you could while leaning against the wall for support. It wasn't helpful, not in the slightest. You found yourself crying out as you slid down, still cradling the wound. Your strength was being sapped as seconds rolled into minutes. If you didn't get assistance soon, the outcome would shortly greet you with disappointment.

"Sparrow? What's your status? There were gunshots reported."

Sparrow. That stupid call sign.

Leon.

Fuck.

"Sparrow, come in."

Your walkie-talkie had been scattered across the room just as your opponent's gun had. With your sapped strength, attempting to reach for it wouldn't lead anywhere. You may be able to if you tried hard enough, but even trying to breathe created pins and needles.

"Sparrow." You could hear Leon's voice growing desperate.

He called out your name soon after. Your eyes widened; only moments such as this one would lead him to be less discreet, to toss your call sign out the window, and allow his personal emotions to slip through. A part of you wanted to slink forward, grab the communication device, and scold him.

("I can't lose you.")

An icy realization pierced your veins, and suddenly, you were fearful. Leon relied on you, just as you did him. For a moment, you pictured him without you, staring out a window, a cup of scotch in his hand as he glared at the moon--it still remaining the same, even after you were gone--and that scared you more than the pain, than the blood running through your fingers, staining them red.

He would cave under the pressure the moment you vanished from this world. You couldn't let him. Couldn't let it destroy him.

You began to crawl to the device.

It hurt like hell, dragging your crumpled body across the hardwood floor, feeling your cheek scrape against it. When you finally felt the small box in your hands, you let out a breath, pressing a shaky finger to a button. "Sparrow reporting," you could taste iron on the roof of your mouth. "I've been shot."

"Tell me your location. Please." Leon had swallowed his emotions--well, attempted to. His voice wavered. "...I thought -"

"I know," you mumbled. "You're not gonna kill me off anytime soon. No matter how hard you try."

He didn't laugh, and you didn't blame him.

You'd rather he be mad and scold you than disappointed and say nothing.

[kirbybecomesastarwarrior]

Okay everyone it's that time again lore drop...

Before the events of Nightmare's defeat... Sir Arthur and a scouting party were sent on a crusade to find the legendary sword Excalibur. But in reality, the scouting party was ordered (by Sir Uther) to secretly murder Sir Arthur. (Why you may ask a lot of reasons)

(This contains some lore from the Kirby light novel Kirby: Meta Knight and the Knight of Yomi)

But the aforementioned cave: where Excalibur was said to be located. Contained a rift to Yomi (created by Morpho..), the would-be assailant (& Sir Arthur) are pulled into the underworld... They are all scattered about the land of the dead...As the story goes: those who are in the land of the dead for three days become... permanent residents.

Being strong-willed enough Sir Arthur was able to retain their physical body and soul... however, he was horribly lost in the lowest level of Yomi (where the most devious monsters dwelled...)

Sir Arthur had been lost in the land of the dead for 120 years. Everyone had assumed he had died... However, this did not go unnoticed by Morpho... who wanted to make a deal with him...Seeing that he had endured for so long... (If they were lucky)could be just the soul (Sir Arthur's) they need...

Not only was he able to get his ticket back to the living world but also... Sir Arthur was able to find something he had long lost... for you see...he and the scouting party weren't the cave's first visitors.

(not sure if I should still @kirbyoctournament but Celty is here so I'll do still :3 )

Guess whose fault it for for Morpho Knight roaming about in the living world!

Sir Arthur is eventually able to tell them (which is what transpires above). Sir Arthur hid this well (until this point) but there was only one person he could not fool, his boy...

Man of the House part 1 (cut song) from Epic the musical

Spoiler Warning: keep reading for content & drawn images

(Sir Arthur got a cracked Warp Star syndrome, like Lady Celestine!)

Meta Knight & King Dedede: From One King to Another "Man of the House"

When I first came up with this I was trying to figure out... "who on earth is Meta Knight singing" and "Who's going to sing the backup vocals..." then I realized this would be the perfect chance to showcase King Dedede & Meta Knight's friendship. This is after the whole redemption arch of King Dedede near the end of the story arch... after the Forgotten Land Saga.

For those who are not that familiar with the KBASW lore. Meta Knight's story arc is meant to end with him becoming the new leader of the GSA. It ties the anime lore and makes it a major part of the story... along with Sir Arthurs deal with Morpho Knight~

Being an astral born without a warpstar (proof that he was a monster created by Nightmare...) was going to be killed the moment he (Mt) was born (by Sir Uther of course the little rat). But one lone Star Warrior believed otherwise, stopping the execution and convincing the Ancients to spare the infant.

Sir Arthur gifted his original red cape to Meta Knight to give him hope that he could be a hero too! MK was trained & raised by Sir Arthur... so he's more than just his mentor... his hero... his dad. Making it all the more heartbreaking to see Sir Arthur growing weaker by the day...

This is where the whole emotional meat & potatoes are in Meta becoming the leader of the GSA lie...( his dad is growing weaker and everyone is looking to him to take up the mantle) At the point of the story, everyone sees his potential everyone except himself...

That's where King Dedede comes in...

King Dedede gives Meta Knight the final push he needs to make him realize he is worthy and deserving of the position. After Escargoon leaves him, he sees Meta Knight as an irreplaceable person. However, this happens... but despite ensuring Meta Knight's departure from Dreamland he still does it.

Reminding him that he managed to help a raggamuffin like him become and grow into an acceptable leader surely he'd be as incredible as the leader of the GSA. Giving him the reassurance he needs to go after it.

It's a really meaningful conversation because Meta Knight and King Dedede have been helping each other grow throughout the series. Throughout the story, they realize how similar they are to each other... and ultimately become one another's rocks.

They're basically two growing kings coming into their roles. That is all I'm going to reveal before I spoil anything else.

Hope you guys enjoyed it the aske box will get reopened tomorrow!

IWTV INSP - MerMay Pt3: Part of Your World

“Are you going to show me where you live?” “No,” Lestat said simply....“When I bring you there, I want you to stay, Louis,” Lestat explained, looking slyly at him, “I want to carry you over the threshold.” Like a bride. Louis swallowed, suddenly unable to meet Lestat’s gaze, playing with a piece of kelp like it required all of his attention. “But I can describe it to you?” Lestat offered. Louis nodded, still looking at the kelp, trying to find some sense of normal. The thought of being carried over the threshold still reverberating through him like a long faraway note, piercing him with a unique kind of longing, and he didn’t know what to do with the wordless emotion it provoked.  “It is a place of interconnecting caves. All lit with yellow bioluminescence from the seaweed growing on the ceiling, bathing the rooms in light, and it’s slightly warm, from being close to a thermal vent,” Lestat said, his voice caressing the words, “Warm and bright and inviting. The furniture, the little that is needed, is made of multi-coloured coral but the surfaces are smooth to the touch, sung that way,” Lestat continued.... “Sung that way?” Louis inquired, his mind catching on that with curiosity.  “Merfolk have the ability to sing matter into shape,” Lestat said, like it wasn’t something insane to say. Louis stared at him and Lestat laughed.....

MY THOUGHTS & CC CREDITS

MY THOUGHTS

Week 1's PEARL and FISHNET entry for @vamptember's MerMay VC event! (Louis' got a pearl headdress on & Lestat's wearing nets.)

Lestat's SO lucky he's an artsy-fartsy Lux Life snob like Louis is, cuz ain't no way Lou would've tolerated living in some busted AF shipwreck like some some of the other mer-folk tryna get with Louis in the sequel. 😅 There's a bit where Lou just swims around reorganizing all Les' random hoarder crap, and I was vividly reminded of Katt Williams' Pimp Chronicles segment on attracting people.

Like, of COURSE Les WOULD live in what's basically a freaking jewelry box; Louis' bougie arse wouldn't settle for less than a multi-billionaire, even 20000 leagues under the sea! 🤣

CC CREDITS

- Now y'all know why I made all the CC for my Aquatic Set. Part 2 will be a few odds & ends I didn't finish in time, and hopefully Pt3 will be the CAS CC, but y'all know I tend to suck at CAS, so....

[kivishipps]

can I get some angst Meriwa x Noatak Hc's ?

Like when/how did she learn Noatak ran away? Does she ever learn the truth about Amon and Noatak? Does Amon ever have dream about Meriwa? etc...

I’m kind of bad at head-canons so, bare with me!!

Noatak couldn’t sleep for the first few weeks after he left, and even the months that followed were ever difficult. Usually in the night Meriwa would come over to read stories to Tarrlock and by extension Noatak as well, all with the permission of their parents and her grandparents-… it was hard to say the least not seeing his two favorite people in the whole world before he laid down for bed at night. Sometimes he sings the old Water Tribe song she used to sing to himself to soothe the ache that rises in his chest some nights -… it never helps no matter how much he tells himself that it does.

Meriwa found out that Yakone’s hunting trips were bloodbending lessons long before Noatak had hoped she would-… being an exceptional investigator as well as suspicious of Yakone’s intentions from the beginning. That being said nothing prepared her for losing Noatak the night he failed to return with his brother and father, and while she never gave voice to her fears she had since speculated that Yakone had murdered Noatak. This of course was proven later to be untrue but despite this Meriwa would never forget.

Interestingly enough they first met a little after Meriwa moved to their little village, having been taken in by her grandmothers Ahvi and Parah as her paternal mother Ruhn wanted nothing to do with her, siting her as the blame for her wife [Tisal]’s death. Meriwa hadn’t spoken a word to anyone since arriving before running right into his back chasing a cotton-tailed flying mouse, before looking up promptly only to exclaim ‘you’re so pretty’ and then run away gasping for air.

Upon arrival to Republic City it had taken some odd weeks to hear murmurs of Amon and his supernatural abilities to remove people’s bending, and when they finally met he had destroyed her betrothal necklace, sighting it as childish she had worn it all this time leaving her rather distraught. In his mind this was an attempt to ensure she would never cross his path so he’d never need to remove her bending-… Amon had gone to the lodge that [Korra] was being held in because he had gotten a tip it was his fiancé-ex-fiancé that was being housed there, not his brother nor the avatar.

The ‘injury’ I referred to in and earlier post of head-canons was actually caused by the boat explosion. Tarrlock had lost a hand and scarred a very large part of his body, much the same for his brother and Meriwa; The later suffers partial deafness that makes it very difficult to understand without seeing the persons mouth. Meriwa had learned of his identity about the same time Tarrlock had, and insisted that he away with them-… that they could start over and live the life they envisioned for themselves when they were both just children.

In an additional prompt, after they escape and whisk away to where Nauja [the mother] is still living, Noatak insists on going on a trip to come to terms with what he has done; Meriwa implores him only to ‘come back when he is ready’ but Amka and Cupun who are their relatively mutual friends do not hesitate in demanding Meriwa end this here and now-… Noatak had abandoned her twice now. They are conceived she deserves better than a man-child who runs off the second he faces emotional turmoil while Meriwa insists upon having faith in him and giving him space. Said space turns into a spiral and by the time he does return Meriwa is gone (thought it’s because she got spirited away for a little bit not because she caved). Noatak doesn’t know any better and by the time they are back together the thought of losing her again shakes him to his core.

[the-knight-of-the-stars]

Finally got the chance to watch the Little Mermaid Live Action. So thoughts.

They could not have picked a better actress. Halle embodies Ariel so well, is crazy. She is absolutely charming and her preformance was excelent. I had high expectations because she is such a lovely person already, but she exceded them. None of her lines felt forced even when the script has its fair of flaws. And needless to say her voice is that of an angel.

I enjoyed Eric a lot more than I thought I would. I was never a big fan of him in the original movie, but here he was very charming and fun.

The romance is adorable af. Absolutely the best part of the movie. They have such good chemestry and I like they both are akward, and collect things and love lo learn. She teaches him thing, and he teaches her things. They understand each other so well instantly. And I loved they look like they have so much fun being together, is so cuteee.

Really enjoyed "Kiss the girl", the tension was great and they actually let the song build up and have pauses. He looks at her like thaaat, you can tell he falls for her so hard, as hard as she does and I love that. The scene when she shows him her name? Albsolutely fucking adorable.

Climax too, when Ariel shatters the neckless and it all breaks loose, I like that Eric is protective immediately, he is so intense, love it. Eric all desperate after the battle with Ursula, wanting to look for her, and grabing her dress from the water bbrrrr

Their final kiss, the way he holds her, omggg (No sparkly dress or princess twirling though, so -1)

In other things, most of the complains I saw about the movie are not really a big deal. The CG sometimes looks, well, like CG, but it works. The way Ariel moves underwater looks great, so natural! I belive she is a mermaid.

Another big complain was Flounder, but he seems perfect to me. The voice is adorable, what more do you want? I think we are too used to percive fishes as "ugly" animals, so y'all think you can't find a realistic looking fish cute, but it really isn't so hard.

Lastly, maybe personal opinion, but a lot of people complained about Aquafina as the seagul. I don't think it has connected with people that the seagul is SUPPOSED to be annoying. Idk, it didn't bother me that much.

What did bother me were the songs. Wasn't a fan of the new songs. Eric's song was ok, reminded me of Madame Gaston a little bit. But the others were unnecesary and over explained too much.

The old songs sound good, but are affected by another thing I didn't like. There are some scenes that needed more impact and time to breathe and the movie didn't let them.

Ariel's discussion with her father? Needed to be more intense. The little moment of Ariel being upset in her cave before Part of your World starts? Needed some moments so we could feel her anger and frustration. I mean, this is the buildup to the big song, they could have been more careful and I felt like it took impact away from it.

Howard Ashman said the trick with musicals is that the characters break into song when the emotions start to become too grand to express with just words. I think they missed that here.

When she gets out of the water for the first time, again, needed more impact, a breath for us to take in the scene, for Ariel to take in the fact that she is seeing the surfice world for the first time. The skyyy omg she has never seen the sky and they just brievely focus on the fireworks and move on.

A good moment was when Ariel saves Eric and is holding him above the water. That little quiet moment, I felt the magic, the fantasy, I could take it all in, because they let it breatheee.

Another thing is they explain too much in dialogue. The song I by far liked the least was when she arrives on land. For starters, it takes from the impact of her loosing her voice because she is still "singing" in her head.

Let her see the world, and take it in, react to it, but I don't need a song explaining me how this is the first time she is seeing fire and that Eric walked away from her, I know, I'm watching it happen!!

The one that is more distracting with the over explaining is Ursula. I wasn't that sold on Melissa MacCarthy at first, I think Ursula should have been played by a Drag Queen, and was dissapointed on her first scene because they purposely mirror almost frame by frame Animated Ursula's introduction, except it didn't have that spark from the original.

But I ended up liking her a lot on her other scenes. She was cool, Melissa played her own version of the role and is great. I loved her lair, the entrance with the (what is it, a mosasaurus?) skeleton, was so cool! She came and played the "aunt who knows what you are going through" cart on Ariel pretty well.

Other things I liked. The original voice actress for Ariel making a cameo caught me off guard. I got teary eyed when she gave Halle the fork, like was passing it on to her.

The scene of them dancing in the market, mirroring the sounds and visuals of "Under the sea", THAT is show don't tell. We are getting just by visuals that humans and sea creatures are not that diferent from each other.

Why did the final scene with Triton made me cry??? wtf?? From Triton coming out of the water all whimsical, noding to Eric, the silent moment of saying goodbye. All the diferent mermaids appearing and standing beside all the diferent humans, gathered to say goodbye to them. Signifying how the bridge between worlds has been crossed because of their love.

I had a big smile in the end. Overall I really liked it, wow, can you belive it, I liked a disney live action. Is fun, the actors are good at their job, the story is engaging.

I think the movie, like most of the live actions, fails the most when it's trying to imitate the animated movies too much instead of doing its own thing. Some things like visuals and the pacing just don't translate well into live action.

But I love that this one has respect for what the original wanted to tell. Is respectful towards the fact that is a fairytale and a romance, and they let it be fun and whimsical instead of filling it with meta jokes. Is charming, like a princess fairytale should be.

What did you all think, I want to discuss.

Love Between Fairy And Devil Commentary Part 3

The final one! Excerpts from my reactions while watching episodes 25-36! Apologies for the delay

Part 1 | Part 2

SPOILERS ahead!

when did shangque fall in love with her anyway i feel like it snuck up on me. like it was obvious it was going to happen, but the how happened subtly

the grooms need to get DRESSED

it would be hilarious if girlie and sauron get together now and kiss and people see and incest rumors cause the weddings to fall apart

wow sauron looks SO weird with his hair up

a red wedding is about to happen // its snowing as well for maximum effect

he cannot control hellfire well anymore he really should not be doing this

i love that him being 'injured' means he got eyeliner and dark lipstick

she didnt fail the tribulation besties she is fine

FINALLY we get a badass moment from girlie

wdym 'why cant i control hellfire' its obviously cause you have emotions again

have i mentioned how much i hate jin guangshan

did she just feed him her blood to heal? what in the svsss?

girlie's 'i want to jump into the river' after getting caught locking lips was so cute

also why is everyone acting like they dont know why sauron cant use hellfire // i mean he was against her restoring his emotions for this very reason??

god i knew they were gonna be disgustingly cute

i think jieli was prettier in the mortal clothes but girlie is definitely more gorgeous in her immortal robes

i really appreciate the little comedic moments scattered through this show

omg this is beautiful // the women singing together for the return of their men // very avatar like

DAMN that was an eventful two episodes // the wedding happened, batman appeared, everything went to plan, batmans identity was revealed, girlie and sauron finally kinda got together, danyin and ice man came back and girlie's true identity was also revealed

its so crazy that they are saying they need to settle the score as if sauron hasnt regularly whooped jack frost's ass completely

girlie you were happy as a mortal cause you were rich

omg she is literally 'i see you as a nice friend'-ing him rn. i didn't expect this level of self awareness

sauron feeling proud of dragon boy for scoring a date

sorry dragon boy jieli is a businessminded woman

i feel like a matchmaking auntie watching these cuties together

oh good batman backstory // he literally has no parents. but he is also blind like a bat. and uses sound - the flute. // i am a genius

HAN PU!????????? baby batman is HAN PU (who rules the world reference)

also batman is literally luo binghe (svsss reference)

good for jin guangshan and jack frost's mom for running away and escaping this madness

frostie is suicidal. cue the beat boxing song

YES GO FULL HIPPIE ICEY BOY

that man did NOT swallow

DANYIN? danyin is the baby??? then why does the pregnant lady look like jieli???

i am 99% convinced fake old god is gonna die

this is a very random last minute storyline/backstory that i did seriously not see coming

has jieli been a plant by catwoman and batman this whole time?? thats why she cant reciprocate dragon's feelings?

shangque stop saying you'll forgive her manipulating you

damn the whole city gathered to stop him from getting laid

he wants to mawwy herrr

this is why dating villains is fun, they truly dont give a fuck about right or wrong, just you. great romance

he didnt go to hang locks! does he need to get the spike in him right NOW?

that punishment is so awful sauron become 3D in a 2D show

there is lightning! are they gonna kiss kiss body swap again?

why dont they just tell emo boy girlie isnt a fairy, she is the goddess of xishun

this conflict is seriously so unneccessary, she is a GODDESS

the people on twitter were right, this does get only better as you keep watching

thats not a cave, thats a torture chamber

and he decided to share her pain // ofcourse he did

thats a long ass wig

i thought he was gonna carry her but them walking hand in hand is so much better

ice man and jin guangshan's fathers name is lord DONG that is amazing

wowwwwww danyin just confessed her love in front of EVERYONE // balls // she has got balls

girlie's true identity was the fix-it of everything huh

dragon boy is brave to the point of stupid giving jieli all his money // omg is she finally accepting him // i wonder what they will get up to in his dragon form

now wtf is happening here

plot is now aiming at killing girlie i see

i dont see how he didnt see the loss of hellfire coming from miles away after he got his emotions back, i mean wasnt he so opposed to it for this very reason??

i cant believe they hurt my babygirl dragon boy

the phrase "menacing fairies" is quite funny

sauron just wants to live in domestic bliss but the plot wants WAR

i love the meek obedient expression sauron gets on his face around girlie

he is too smart to work with an obviously evil swirling dark cloud // right?

mr sauron i thought you werent gonna lie to her

she has gotten good at setting boundaries

is he possesed rn or just what is happening

i hope the war lives up to the hype, unlike who rules the world // i mean we have been talking about it for literally 30 episodes

the crazy thing is that if he had been straight up with her and told her why she has to die she would have killed herself easily

jieli is fucking smart

I GET IT NOW // he cant take off the bone orchid cause she is devoted to him, so he has break her heart so he can take it off

oooo is it time for ✨war✨

for two opposing armies the fairy realm and demon realm sure have the exact same armour

i think even if she tries to kill herself she wont die cause of special goddess powers

ooooo i think he will use the evil qi and then girlie will purify it

wow her screams of pain are quite intense

honestly i am sick of lady war just having no agency in this story // like lets have her come back to life and tell off batman please

ohhh its the long awaited batman vs iceman fight

they sure picked a place with terrible visibility for this war huh

who tf is qingchuan???

after all this time iceman just now found out batman is ronghao?

love how lady si ming still hasnt shown up again // though i do still believe she will

i knew it!! her magic dust brought everyone back to life

that god(dess) for better visibility amirite

wait are they still pretending she isnt gonna live

sauron doesnt have enough sand on his face, he face planted multiple times. i need him to be coughing up sand

oh wow she is actually disintigrating thanos snap style

why is jieli not just telling dragon boy the truth that she was poisoned? is it cause she knows catwoman is gonna come after her and she doesnt want him to get hurt?

and now batmans all happy and shit?? rude

omg stop manipulating lady war i am sick and tired of her agency being taken away

awwww this is a very cute sequence if not for the fact that he is definitely dreaming

wow watching sauron smile with all his teeth is weirddd

so i guess the remaining 5 eps will be him trying to get girlie back

if dragon boi dies i am gonna riot

oh its a dream sharing incense burner!

woooooow hot take from ice man there 'she will come back from death cause she hasnt married me yet'

i love the juxtaposition of the chaos irl and the serenity in his dream

i am really confused about the girlie marrying iceman prophecy because there is no way thats gonna happen right? unless she has some serious memory loss or something

i am so confused about ronghao's feeling towards lady war

jin guangshan is a fucking bitch

hah i knew lady si ming was gonna turn up

what a power couple though lady si ming and her dragon living together forever

popping back in to say i was right about the memory loss (i stopped in the last few eps cause i was tired lol)

i hate memory loss tropes btw // her memories better come back

did lady war just off danyin?? // misdirect

after i was done i had some last words to say

the ending wasnt bad exactly, plot wise, but i missed the light hearted tone of the show in the last six episodes and also why do we get more fluff in the middle than at the end??

all i wanted was to see them getting married and sitting on the moon throne as king and queen

and not a single jielie/shangque kiss?? we were ROBBED

And that's it folks!! Overall a very fun and enjoyable experience, would recommend!

chapter 11 - Peso and Shellington and the sleepover Notes:

All I’m gonna say is that I have a feeling this chapter is going to be short (edit: it is, but that’s fine) Oh and um… *insert that emotional h2o piano music here* ALSO YAY SLEEPOVER!!! enjoy some hurt/comfort shellso shit also I am so sorry abt Shellie singing weezer. I’ve been listening to a lot of weezer lately lmao. and I thought it was funny. ALSO WOOO FIRST UPDATE OF 2024 Ik I’ve said this many times but chapter 12 is complete and will be posted soon (maybe later today or tomorrow) I’m very excited to share it. also sorry for any spelling mistakes or anything.

Shellington, Kwazii and Peso had went shopping for souvenirs in a small coastal Irish town 

A boat speed by, slashing them.

He had been splashed! 

Shellington froze, he knew that it was too late to think “please no tail” so he opted to dive into the water instead. 

“Oh that water looks quite nice!” Shellington remarked awkwardly, diving into the water below, disappearing into its deep blue depths, people staring at him.

“Shellington!?” Kwazii and Peso called from above the deck.

Shellington swam back up from the surface, “here’s a towel. Matey.” Kwazii meowed, handing a clean towel to Shellington

Shellington, Kwazii and Peso were sitting at the dock, waiting for Captain Barnacles and Dashi to pick them up, Shellington looked pathetic and drenched  in his towel. 

Colours of the world Spice up your life Every boy and every girl Spice up your life People of the world 

Spice up your life Aah . 

Kwazii pulled out his indestructible Nokia phone from his pocket, with a look of embarrassment on his face, Shellington was wheezing, along with Peso

“Why is your ringtone a spice girls song” Shellington snorted “I HAVE A SPICE GIRLS HYPERFIXATION  OKAY?!” Kwazii shouted in a unhinged manner “hey no need to yell…” Peso mumbled. 

“Hey Kwazii we’re on the our way, we’ll be there soon!” Dashi smiled  “great!” Kwazii replied

“So what did you get?” Peso said, turning to face Shellington “chocolate” Shellington smirked, handing one of the small chocolates to Peso and Kwazii.

•••

Today was the last day The Octonauts would be in Ireland for awhile 

“I’m gonna miss this place…” Shellington breathed as he glanced out the window of his lab, all of the memories rushing back. 

What the hell?!

You know those strange caves I visited… well something strange happened to me.. just splash me…” 

You’re a fish???? 

yeah… those caves were really weird…. they uh- turned me into a fish..

Kwazii?!  you followed me?! 

I just wanted to make sure you were safe matey! I didn’t know where you were going! I thought you were sleep walking!

What happened??

The moon um… basically possessed you and you got really upset… oh and you got really mad at Kwazii.. and everyone found out…

who goes there!

hi Kwazii… can we talk…

Yeah sure me hearty 

So what is it?

remember when I got really mad last night… 

yeah matey. I know you didn’t mean it. Trust me. 

Over here! 

remember when I went to those strange sea caves?

yeah?

well um.. I went during a full moon and well.. The pool started bubbling and I became a merman..

Shellington stared out the window in silence, gathering his thoughts, a sad expression on his face, Peso had quietly came in the room, he couldn’t help but notice how quiet it was, and the over all sad atmosphere.

Sure, Shellington was quiet, especially while doing his research. But this felt off… dare I say eerie.

“Hey, what’s wrong?” Peso said softly, placing a comforting flipper on Shellington’s back, breaking the silence. “Nothing..!” Shellington lied, flinching, not wanting to worry Peso.

“Okay… I suppose it is something..” Shellington admitted “Im kind of sad I guess…” Shellington sighed “why?” Peso pressed, “because we’re leaving…” Shellington said so quietly it was almost a whisper 

“It’s okay! I bet we’ll come back here someday!” Peso assured “thanks Peso.. Shellington replied, feeling slightly better now. 

“Maybe we should throw a sleepover?” Peso proposed  “Oh yeah!” Shellington agreed “after I take a bath we can!” Shellington added, grabbing a towel and walking to the bathroom.

“AND I DON’T WANNA BE AN OLD MAN ANYMORE ITS BEEN A YEAR OR TWO SINCE I WAS OUT ON THE FLOOR SHAKING BOOTY MAKING SWEET LOVE EVERY NIGHT!!!” Shellington’s horrendous singing boomed from the bathroom, Tweak walked by the bathroom door questioning her life decisions. 

••• 

Shellington grabbed the popcorn and candy and lied some blankets and pillows down on the floor in the game pod. 

“Hey we’re throwing a sleepover, wanna join?” Peso asked Dashi,  “oh sure!” Dashi smiled. Later on, Dashi was painting Kwazii’s claws and putting a face mask on him as they watched Tweak sing some karaoke with Kwazii’s karaoke machine, making Dashi blush. 

Captain Barnacles was watching a movie, Shellington held Peso in his paws and was licking his face “thanks Peso” Shellington purred affectionately as he munched on some popcorn “¡De nada, Shellington!” Peso chirped.

[supernovaa-remnant]

9 has been my favorite doctor for as long as i can remember lol gonna be honest, it's probably because he's always reminded me a little bit of my dad. he died when i was 14 and when i started watching doctor who a while later, the little similarities i found were comforting and it has been like that for years now.

also, the team of him, rose, jack, and mickey was one of my favorite dynamics ever. they were so fun and amazing together and i loved seeing them so much.

11 is a close second, i absolutely adored matt smith's portrayal of the doctor!! and i totally agree with you when it comes to 13. i was actually so excited when they announced jodie whittaker because omg first female doctor??? and i think she did an amazing job and i love how she truly made the character her own.

when it comes to companions, i think my top three are amy, rose, and clara. the dynamics they had with the doctor(s) were always so entertaining and their character arcs were super interesting, especially amy's.

so yeah, as you can see, my faves are a little all over the place so it's kinda hard for me to pick a favorite era lol i just love all of them in a different way and it's hard to choose.

also, a little insane over your thoughts. i agree with you on so much. like, the amount of chance meetings and coincidences and small moments that can connect and influence our lives is fucking crazy. and a lot of it just has to do with love and it's devastatingly beautiful.

9 is a really good doctor!! I agree that the team w/ him, Rose, Jack, and Mickey was honestly amazing. Clara!! How could I forget to mention Clara? I loved her lmao.

a lot of it just has to do with love and it's devastatingly beautiful

yeah.. yeah a lot of it does have to do with love and care and it makes me really emotional.. and we've found paintings in caves from so many millenia ago, and we taught rovers how to sing happy birthday to themselves, and the Golden Record.. the Golden Record makes me really emotional.

Because we sent Voyager 1 away from Earth with it's end goal being out of the Solar System. And what added a Golden Record. And what did we put on that record? We put greetings in 55 different languages.. all of them along the lines of "hi. we are from earth. we hope you're doing well. we want to meet you." And we put the calls of animals and the sound of rain and the sound of laughter. We put sounds of a mother and child. We put pictures of people from all over the earth from so many cultures just.. being people. We took this record going into space, and we said, no, don't put war or hunger or famine or that in this. we said, don't let us be remembered for the darkest parts of our existence—let us be known for the best parts of this world. let our legacy—the one that will still be out there even when our solar system is gone—be a legacy of compassion and beauty.

Sorry, I feel like I didn't answer your ask very well, but I got distracted by the Golden Record and think I need to have a little cry LMAO

[dunmertwink]

idk what else to ask about your oc but tell me something abt him! Dealer's choice? What's his favourite colour? What's his favourite food? Does he have siblings or parents or a love interest??? Tell me everything!

Ahhhh! ILY! So! Taa’va’s origins are a bit of a mystery (to be revealed in my comic!). He was found as a newborn beyond the caves that lead to his hometown by a guard (who unofficially becomes his adoptive dad; i havent drawn or found a good name for this character even though hes like super important to the story... lol). His birthmother was unfortunately deceased when they were found.

He is officially adopted by Sooyeon, another major character who i posted about before (below - i found a pic of her in her natural (v. light on makeup anyway) state since she has some Outfits™️ being an ex fashion designer and all).

She is a doting mom💕 (also the townguard/dad has such a huge crush on her its embarrassing)

Heres a goofy ass thumbnail (wip) of a photo of Sooyeon and Taa’va on his first birthday:

Anyway! I believe i mentioned in another ask that Taa’va is intersex, which is super important to Kwendi culture (ill talk more about this later in a culture post on my webcomic blog; its also biologically different from how it appears in humans but i won't go into the science of it here). He chose to use he/him pronouns when he was little.

Hes autistic and stims a lot. His most frequent stims are flailing, shaking his head, and biting the skin around his fingernails (which is my stim actually). Lets see, his fave color is red and his fave food is sugar cookies, and he likes to tinker - hes become the town handyman and has built the bot Pyn (pictured in another post; and while bot-building is a pretty common hobby, Pyn is unique in that he can display emotions and familiarity with certain people. This manifests as him following Taa’va everywhere and trying to ‘protect’ him. Pyn doesnt have speech capabilities so he communicates with beeps (like R2-D2 where the characters understand him, but readers dont).

Taa’va is super good at a card game called knocks (an in-world gambling game that is played in the local bar/ tavern) and went on a five-year winning streak. His constant wins pissed a LOT of people off and got him into some trouble (esp. When an overconfident biker gang leader bets his bike and loses it - you can imagine how this goes). His famous, or, infamous saying is: “Don't bet anything you're not willing to lose.” This winning streak was broken by a huge stroke of luck for a newcomer named Khazir (ill stop here so i dont spoil anything; hes Taa’va’s LI in the comic💕). The crowd surrounding them starts cheering and singing Khazirs name. Taa’va is super impressed. I love Khazir too! Im trying to get a pic of him in this ask but its not really working so ill have to make another post!

Ill end this here! This took me forever to write on my tablet but all my comic stuff is here so 🤷. Thanks again for the ask! 🤩🤩🤩

This is definitely set later in their story, so please don't get mad at me <3

CW: Set in the BBU (There is really no mentions of it, but the story is set in that universe), plane troubles, angst, emotional whump

What started off as a beautiful and sunny day has now turned into a pilot’s worst nightmare: a terrible storm at night with slight hail. But Lukas isn’t concerned at least one bit. He’s smiling over at Saber, who has her arms crossed over her chest while staring out of the plane with an uneasiness that Lukas can sense. “Saaaaaaaber, don’t worry a single bit. This plane is an engineering marvel and is going to get us to where we need to go. Come on, look at me. Who’s the best pilot in the world?” He asks in a sing song voice, nudging her playfully.

Saber rolls her eyes and stifles back a laugh, her beautiful eyes a nice contrast to the hellish weather outside the safety of the plane. “Hands down it’s Timmy the Pilot Pillow, Lukas. He’s always there to get us out of your messes.”

“My messes??? Saber, I feel so attacked right now,” he scoffs, a hand on his chest feigning offense. “How dare you think Timmy is better than me? I can get us through anything. I am a magic pilot.” He grabs the control wheel with both hands, attempting to get the plane through the latest turbulence moment. The sound of hail striking the plane’s wings and windows begin to worry Lukas, but he will do whatever it takes to not let Saber know it.

This isn’t good at all. I can barely see anything. My instruments are the only thing working for me right now. Doesn’t seem like anything is off, but this is a bust. Just a few more hours before we get to the safe house Bianca helped secure or us.

“A magic pilot and a crazy idiot… But I suppose if I didn’t meet you, I would still be a…” She trails off and a blush barely changes the pigment of her tanned cheeks. “You know what I mean.”

Lukas turns his head to focus on Saber more, trying to convey a softer look. “I know what you mean, but don’t think about it like that. You aren’t that. You are so much better, Sabes. I swear. I don’t know if I would be here without you, honestly.” He winks at her and aims a cliché finger gun at her. “Someone’s got to keep my ass from dying.”

“Tell me about it, Lukas. You are something else,” Saber finally laughs with such a melodic yet rougher voice. It’s probably one of the best sounds Lukas has heard. “Someone must keep you from drinking yourself to death too. Bianca called you an alcoholic.”

“Bianca calls me a lot of things. ‘Alcoholic’ is practically synonymous to ‘Gorgeous’, ‘Genius’, ‘Mad Lad’, and ‘Extraordinary’. What can I say, Sabes? I am one badass pilot.” He’s smirking like an idiot, but he can’t keep himself from laughing.

“She told me you would say something like that. Good thing I gave her those water bottles you said were filled with apple juice.”

“….”

“What?”

“Those were filled with Jack Daniels and some others had Captain Morgan in them…”

“Oh well, Lukas. I got you those sports drinks with… electricity in them?”

“I am 100% sure you mean electrolytes.”

Saber is blushing hard and pulls up the hood of the sweat jacket Lukas gave her. “Shut up…”

Lukas is laughing harder than ever, but then he catches something in the corner of his eye: a blinking light next to the oil gauge. It’s critically low and that drives a shot of fear through the pilot of which he can’t hide. “Oh no… Saber, go to the back and grab the two back packs.”

“What’s wrong?” She asks, trying to figure out what is going on when the plane makes an unharmonious sound, the engine gurgling and yearning for oil.

Lukas clenches his jaw, and he looks over to the side of the plane. With a flashlight he pulls out, he aims it out there and he can catch the faint look of the damage on the plane’s wings.

This isn’t good. Not one bit. Fuck… Fucking fuck… Okay, Lukas. This is going to be fine. Keep Saber safe. That’s all that matters right now. I shouldn’t have flown in this weather. Sebastian, if you are watching this, I hope you don’t hate me too much.

“Lukas??? Talk to me!” Saber jolts him back from his deep hyperfocus, his heart racing too fast. “I got the back packs. What now?”

“Put one of them on, Saber. Go on, don’t worry about a thing. I just need you to listen to me: If I open the door, I need you to jump out. You are going to pull this hard as soon as you are safe to do so,” he explains, holding the red strap that would release the parachute. “I am going to take us lower and try to make it easier.” He puts on his headset and flips to the emergency channel for pilots, taking a deep breath.

“Why does this sound like you aren’t coming with me?” Saber asks, her voice wavering with fear.

“Mayday, Mayday, this is Tomcat 444. Position unknown, airspeed approximately 132 knots, altitude 4023 feet and lowering, plane has run out of oil, engine is failing, and I am unable to land safely due to little to no visibility. All stations, send search and rescue. Will conduct an evac of at least one passenger.” Lukas can’t look at her. He’s staring out at the darkness, the plane’s controls getting harder to keep normalized. “I promise that I’ll be right behind you, Saber. Just put it on and let me make sure you are safe.”

She’s tearing up and she does what’s asked of her, slipping on the parachute and clipping it in the right spots. “You are scaring me. Don’t do what I think you are going to do.”

“And what would that be, Saber? That I make you get out safely and I crash my plane? Nah… You are my top priority right now. I am going to make sure you never go back to where I found you.”

“Why, Lukas? Why do you care so much???”

Lukas stands up and uses some straps to keep the plane going straight, checking over Saber’s parachute and tightening some loose ones over her thighs and chest. “Why?” He repeats, holding her shoulders and kissing her forehead with a gentle smile, the scenario occurring around them only a blur. “Because that’s what we do for the people that we love, Sabes. Now… I think it’s time I send you off, okay?” He leads her over to the side of the plane, unlatching the door and pushing it open, the roaring sounds of the weather in combination with the failing engines taking over. “Count to five seconds and pull the strap. When you land, let your body roll with gravity. I’ll find you.”

Saber hugs Lukas tightly and shakes her head. “I can’t just leave you…”

“I know, Sabes… I am not giving you that choice.” He grabs her by the front of her parachute, and he shoves her out of the plane, her scream of betrayal haunting him as he put on his own parachute. He runs to the front of the plane, putting the headset back on.

“All stations, all stations, all stations… This is Tomcat 444… Seems like I am in a fucked up little situation with crashing my plane and all. Just wanted to add something in for those non-emergency stations looking for me. You can try to find me, but if you dare touch my partner in righteous crime, you better believe I am gonna kick your ass. Maybe I’ll die and maybe I won’t. You’ll just have to find out later. Just don’t hit my pretty face. Tomcat 444 signing off for a while,” Lukas laughs into the headset, setting it to the side and pushing the nose lower. He pulls himself using the seats to the door, staring out into the darkness.

“Saber, don’t kill me…” He mutters, jumping out with a scream into the dark abyss, hoping that his parachute actually works.

What makes you happier

well, hm. being that you said 'happier' and not 'happy', i'm kind of taking the context to be like. how do i cheer myself up, as opposed to just a list of things that bring me joy? it depends on what's fucking me up. sometimes i go sit outside and force myself to listen to the birds, or stare at the stars. as cliche as it is, there's this like inconceivably massive world around us that just cranks on and on no matter what and it's kind of nice to abruptly realize me and my problems don't mean shit, every once in a while. takes a load off for a little while. honestly one of my go-tos is a very random video on youtube, right here. when you figure that song has existed for 200 years, and the words beethoven incorporated are from a poem calling for peace among all peoples, and it takes so many people to perform the damn thing? and the human desire to create music presumably came from listening to bird calls, and it's one of the most joyous things we have in everything that we've ever done? the desire to make music, to put beauty out into the world, evolving through millennia from people in caves marking the walls with the best places for resonant sound, and then in 1824 beethoven releases a call for peace, an ode to joy, and now 200 years later people are still gathering to perform it, in this case for free for the public, and that public gathers round to have that shared experience and human connection and feel something real and incorruptible for just a few moments in a world that tells us we can never stop because there's always something Productive to be doing? yeah. it makes me very, very emotional and it's hard to stay sad or angry or so bitter i can't breathe after i watch it. my hamster. he's awake right now :) he's all bunched up in a little squishy ball by his water dish havin' a sipsip. he's got his little tiny people hands braced on the side of the dish and his little tiny ears are wiggling. i love him a lot playing with stuffed animals. singing for 8 hours straight until my voice is just a croak, then singing some more. getting the coloring really right on a gifset after a half hour of fucking with it. earning more neopoints on neopets than i was expecting to that day. watching late-night comedians with my husband before he goes to bed and getting to hear him laugh, looking over and his whole face is scrunched up and he's somehow rolled sideways in a recliner and has his legs pulled up and is clutching his belly cuz that joke was so good. realizing i have the energy to cook my own damn food. getting a new tattoo or piercing and feeling like i've reclaimed another little piece of my body. coloring my hair. getting my eyeliner wings relatively neat for once. any day where my pain and/or fatigue levels are less and i feel just a little bit more human. finally reaching a point in my life where, if i see a homeless person, i can afford to get them a hot meal. celebrating every hard-fought victory for equity and equality, no matter how big or small. throwing peanuts in the yard for the crows and listening to them caw to each other in the trees across the road. the fact that we switched to humane traps so we can release mice, not kill them. they're just hungry and cold, after all. honestly, nonnie, one of the best and most important things that i finally allowed myself to realize is i don't need an excuse to take joy in something. y'know those posts that are like "don't wait for a reason to wear the fancy dress or the expensive makeup or the good perfume or to drink the expensive wine?" that goes double here. if you see or do something that gives you that little spark of happiness, relief, or peace, grab it and fucking drown yourself in it. it's okay. you don't have to wait for something big enough to get excited about.

The Blood Within Us Chapter 14

Pairing: Bruce Wayne x Pregnant! Reader

Summary: Will the reader do whatever it takes to protect the ones she loves when tragedy hits the Wayne family? How far will the truth be tested when she realizes she’s not the only one with secrets of her own?

Warning: pregnancy, mobster activities

Jason comes from the back door of the kitchen. He stole a fresh-baked cookie on the counter that Alfred must have made earlier. He looks around the manor and is wondering where everyone is. Jason turns around and sees Tim plopped on the couch, working on some homework.

“Hey, where’s everyone?” Jason asked.

“Damian is up in his room since he can’t be in the cave, Dick is picking something up, and I think mom, dad, and Alfred are in the study,” Tim said, not looking up from his textbook.

The whole family was staying in the manor for the week, upon your request. Bruce even suggested that missions would be on hold until further notice, which you liked too. It will raise too many questions of why all your boys had cuts on their eyebrows or limping on the aisle.

“You think they’re busy?” Jason asks.

“Last time I saw them was two hours ago, I wouldn’t be surprised that they're calling caterers till now.” Tim replied.

Jason makes his way upstairs, hearing buzzing voices behind the study. He opens the door ajar, looking at you, Bruce, and Alfred making calls.

“Thank you for singing for the reception.”

“Yes, we need to discuss the menu changes.”

“-and you’re sure the flowers will arrive three hours before the ceremony?”

Jason quietly enters the room, giving a small wave to the room. Your eyes brighten as you wave at him, then take your attention to your phone call.

As if by some miracle, everyone hung up around the same time. You released a sigh as you had your hand on your back, realizing you were on your feet for so long.

“If you’ll excuse me, I need to send a box of cookies to the event planner.” Alfred said, making his way out of the room.

Jason tries to hide his guilty face as he has already eaten one and hopes Alfred is not too mad.

“Hi honey, how have you been?” You ask Jason as you were trying to sit on a cushioned chair.

“I’m good ma. I’m good.” He says as he offered his arm for you to help you sit down.

It was the week before the wedding. Although it was going to be an intimate wedding in the ball area of the manor, you wanted to triple-check everything as plans often were thrown out the window.

“We’re glad you’re here.” Bruce said, looking at his son.

Jason gives a small smile to acknowledge his dad.

“I wouldn’t miss this for the world.” Jason said as he sat down next to you, hugging your side.

“Oh baby…” You said, already crying your tears out. Bruce walks up behind you and placed a comforting hand on your shoulder, rubbing it softly.

Being 8 months pregnant hasn’t been so pretty, as the hormones have unwrapped tenfold. Your family has been taking it like champs when you had sudden emotional outbursts.

Suddenly, you hear someone else knock on the door.

“Hey mom, I got your package.” Dick hollered as he steps in with a giant white box with a bow tie around it.

“Oh! That’s my wedding dress. Put it in the guest room.” You said, getting up quickly.

“Your wedding dress?” Bruce questions, smirking slightly as he followed you.

You smacked his chest mischievously.

“Whoa there tiger, what makes you think I’m going to allow you to see the dress before the ceremony?” You joke.

“We’ve been together for ten years, I think I deserve to see it… or rather watch you get ready.” he said seductively, making your heart pound faster.

You then heard gagging sounds around you, as you see Dick and Jason grossed out.

“Guys, we’re still here. Stop being so sickly in love.” Jason said, before making a cringed face.

“Oh yeah? Watch this.” Bruce said before dipping you into a kiss.

“Alright, that’s it. I’m leaving to drop the box in the room now.” Dick said, already leaving.

“Wait for me.” Jason said as he covered his mouth, already sick to his stomach.

Once you and Bruce pulled away from the kiss, you both burst out laughing.

“You’d think by now they’re old enough to not be so embarrassed.”

“Guess they can’t handle that their parents are madly in love. I do love my sexy, fine fiance.”

You bite your bottom lip.

“Be careful there Mr. Wayne, or I might not let you go out tonight on your last patrol.” You said, using your two fingers to walk on his broad chest.

“That doesn’t sound too bad…” he whispers, eyes getting darker with lust.

You roll your eyes.

“I don’t want you being stirred crazy before the wedding because you can’t crack a case. Please go tonight.” You ushered him.

He takes a deep breath.

“Please know I’m only looking into Dent because he needs to be taken in.” He said, as he going to do his final attempt to search for him.

“I do.” You said, as you brought Bruce’s hand to your belly.

“We’ll be waiting till you come back.” You whispered.

He kisses you softly and feels a kick under his palm. Bruce chuckles and squats down.

“Can’t forget a goodbye kiss to my Lily pad.” He says, giving your belly a sweet peck.

Your heart begins to burst as Bruce and you started to give your unborn baby her nickname.

“Please be safe, and try to refrain from getting hurt on the face.” You joked as he makes his way out of the study.

“I’ll try not to.” Bruce hollers back as he makes his to where Jason and Dick would be.

He was about to open the door but one of his sons closed it immediately.

“Hey! We’re hanging up the dress, you can’t be here.” Jason screamed behind the wooden door.

“I didn’t see anything. I need one of you to help me tonight.” Bruce replied.

Jason tightly squeezes himself out of the door and is standing in front of Bruce.

“Dick is expecting a call tonight, so I guess it’s just me tonight.” Jason said casually.

“Good. I’ve been wanting to talk to you as well. We’ll leave in 15.” Bruce said, making his way to the cave.

Jason pops open the door and looks at his brother.

“I know I need to catch up with Korey tonight but I don’t mind going on patrol.” Dick said.

“No, it’s fine. It’s time that we had a talk.” Jason said as he received a sympathetic look from his brother.

Ever since Bruce came back to their lives, he had very serious conversations with each son.

Dick was first, as usual. Bruce apologized for giving him the cowl, and accepted his choice of being a cop. It took some time to reach out to Damian, so they went to an art museum. They didn’t talk at all, but they came to a silent agreement about what they have done wrong in the past and the two forgave each other. Tim couldn’t even sit down quietly for 1 minute without doing a project, so Bruce brought him into the garage to fix the engine of a car and even taught Tim how to ride stick. It almost gave you a heart attack as you saw your son panicking behind the wheel, but he was a natural.

Just don’t mind the scratches on the car doors.

But Jason wasn’t ready for that talk.

At a young age, he started building a lot of rage. And that rage was directed at Bruce.

It wasn’t right, but the young Todd boy was angry and had no control over his emotions.

Once he returned from the dead and became Red Hood, that anger unfolded tenfold. He wanted to see his adoptive father suffer, to feel what he has been feeling all of his life.

And now that the two men were on decent terms, Jason was finally ready to have a real conversation.

Once night fell, the two men rode separate motorcycles, heading to their destination. Parking in front of an abandoned building, they take off their helmets and carefully walked inside.

“What is this place?” Jason asked quietly.

“This was the attorney’s office of Dent. The building was condemned after he became Two Face. I’m trying to see if I could get my hands on any file that hasn’t been on a computer.” Bruce said.

They enter the old office where all that was left were old file cabinets and a desk. The room was silent as they tried looking around for something suspicious.

Bruce looked over his shoulder, staring at Jason who was busy looking in a file cabinet.

“Thank you, for helping me on this case.” Bruce said.

Jason looks a bit off guard but he turns away from his dad. “It’s no problem” He said casually.

Bruce makes his way to him, placing a hand on his shoulder.

“Please, Jay… I’m trying.” Bruce said.

Jason stops what he’s doing, trying so hard not to let the anger lash again like so many times before. He inhales through his nose and out his mouth, standing up.

“You shouldn’t try so hard for your son.”

“You’re right…” Bruce said, sitting on a chair.

“I felt like every fight we’ve had, we never got closure… we never apologized or talked about things. All we did was just, stopped. Worst of all, I never got to forgive myself when you died. I should have stayed, I should have told you I was proud of you, I should have…”

Bruce was at a loss for words and looks up to his son whose features were hard like he was pushing back all the pain.

“I can’t change what’s in the past, we’re far from that. So I hope that this may change our way of moving on together.”

He then takes out a small box from his utility belt and offers it to Jason.

The young man opens it.

“Cuff links?” Jason asks.

Bruce gets out of his seat and stands in front of his son.

“I want to ask if you could be my best man.”

Jason’s face goes slack.

“Really?” he asks, still stunned.

Bruce couldn’t help but chuckle. “Who do you think I’d ask?”

“I don’t know, Clark?”

Throughout the whole wedding, everyone had a part. Alfred was going to officiate the wedding (he was crying silently when you and bruce asked), Dick was walking you down the aisle (he was crying [no, WAILING] and Jason was so glad he caught it on camera, Damian was ring bearer (Bruce had to explain that he didn’t have to fight a bear, even if Damian insisted he would win), and Tim was the usher (You did not like the idea of a 16 year old having so much power as a wedding event planner so Bruce thought of the alternative.). Jason almost thought that he didn’t play an important part for his parents’ ceremony.

He was glad that he was wrong.

“There’s no one else i’d choose to stand next to me.”

Jason smiles and closes the box.

“I’ll be your best man.” Jason said.

The two men pull into a short hug. Bruce looks down over Jason’s shoulder and sees something.

Jason pulls away as Bruce kneels down to examine one of the opened drawers.

“Did you see something?” Jason asks.

“I think there’s a false panel on the bottom.” Bruce muttered under his breath, using one of his batarang to pry open the false panel. It begins to open and uncovers an old orange packet.

“Looks like no one knew it was there.” Jason said.

“Only Dent.” Bruce replied, already digging in the packet for the content inside.

Bruce’s heart stopped beating once he read what was in his hands.

“That’s your mother’s name.” Bruce said out loud.

Jason looks closer to the papers in Bruce’s hand.

“Are these the letters she sent when she was a kid?” Jason asked.

Bruce flips a few papers around, seeing how they were opened long ago, then placed away to never be seen again.

“Harvey read these.” Bruce stated.

“I don’t understand, why would he read these and not answer back? To his own daughter…” Jason replied, feeling upset that you had to go through such a thing.

Bruce looks up to his son.

“Harvey was engaged to someone else around the time your mother was born. His career was also taking flight so you could imagine the chaos if people found out a respected public servant of the city had a child from someone else.”

It was but a harsh truth, but Bruce also found it distasteful of what happened to you in your past.

All of the hurt, the pain, the loneliness.

And he was to blame too.

Jason can visibly see Bruce lost in thought, as he stopped reading the letters. He then grabs the orange packet from Bruce’s other hand and looks inside.

“There’s more.” Jason said, walking to the desk to scatter more of the content.

Jason flips open a small notebook, filled with Harvey’s notes and spoke out loud.

“A few months ago, I celebrated the biggest case I’ve ever won. I stumbled into a night club to celebrate, not knowing that a woman will catch my eye. In my drunken state, I suggested we to go to the nearest motel. Before you know it, I woke up with a massive headache and saw the woman sleeping at my side. I begin to worry, I was supposed to get married within the year. Without thinking, I left her in the room and never saw her again.

That was until this morning, where she shown up to my office pregnant and claiming I was the father. She said she couldn’t care less who I was, but her father told her that if I don’t step up to my mistake… there’d be consequences.”

Jason stopped and looked up, hearing someone come up from a flight of stairs.

“Somebody’s here.” Jason whispered, about to reach his firearm.

“Grab the notebook, I’ll grab the letters.” Bruce said, quickly collecting the papers as the two vigilantes jumped out of the window, shooting their Grapnel Gun in midair to fly up to the roof.

Once they land, they kneel down to hear who was now in the office.

“I don’t like the looks of this man, it looks like someone was here.” a voice said out loud.

“Calm down you cry baby, it’s probably some kids who broke in to vandalize the old building.” another voice replied.

Bruce could recognize that it was two men who had heavy accents, possibly originating from Romanian roots.

“I still don’t understand why the boss sent us to Two Face’s old office.” the scared man asked out loud.

“He’s still not done with him, Two Face won’t even utter a word if we beated the crap out of him.” the other griped

Bruce and Jason listen still, finding more of the truth from the mobsters down in the office.

“Andrei, the whole place is cleared. There’s nothing here.”

There was a pause, as Andrei is probably thinking.

“Grrr, you’re right Gabriel. We’ll just tell Maroni that this was a bust.” Andrei said, then closed the door to leave.

Jason gets out of his stance and was ready to chase them down. Bruce caught his forearm.

“They’re getting away!” Jason hissed, not noticing that the book fell on the ground.

“We can’t follow them yet, we need to know why Sal Maroni has Harvey Dent.” Bruce commanded, then walked a few steps to retrieve the book on the ground.

He reads the new open pages, still in his movements as his eyes widen.

“What’s on the paper?” Jason asked.

Bruce lowers his head and indented the book with his pointer.

“We need to go back home, now.” Bruce whispered lowly.

Jason snatched the book from Bruce and read the page he just read.

“No…” Jason said, staring at the page in disbelief.

“You’re mother needs to know this.” Bruce responded, already flying down to his motorcycle and riding away. Jason stashes the book in his jacket and jumped through the fire escape and landed near his motor, riding away to the cave.

On his drive, Jason thought this news would destroy you.

Alfred called for your presence down in the cave, stating that Bruce had urgent news to tell you.

You felt uneasy as Bruce only handed bad news in the cave, never wanting to expose such pain in the sanctuary upstairs where everything was close to normal.

Hoping that nothing bad happened to Bruce or Jason, you took the elevator down and slowly walked without saying a word.

Bruce turned around and saw you, frightened. He takes slow strides to meet you in the middle.

“There’s something you need to know, but I think you need to sit down for this one.”

Jason walked passed both of you, giving you a quick hug before heading upstairs to talk to his brothers about tonight.

You and Bruce sat where a table was laid and saw letters that had your handwriting in your adolescent years.

“Where did you get these?” You ask, confused as why they were there before you and why they were opened.

“We found these at Dent’s attorney office. They were hidden away and I found them like this.”

“He read them… he read all of these and he never replied.” You whispered, feeling your eyes well up.

Bruce looks down in his hands, now holding a book that will change your life forever.

“There’s a reason for that.” he replied, slowly raising the book to your view.

He opens the book for you to read, and you decided to read out loud so you know you weren’t imagining this.

“Today, I saw the most wonderful thing that came in this world: My daughter. Even before I got the blood test results, I knew she was mine. She had my eyes and all I wanted to do was hold in her in my arms.

But I couldn’t.

Her mother refused to have me such right, and my baby’s grandfather was expecting me to marry his daughter out of obligation. I can’t be associated with this family, not when Gotham feared them.

I feel like I am the only man fearless enough to bring them to justice, I vowed it since I became a lawyer. Upon getting to know the family: I learned their secrets, their spies in the Gotham Police Department, and the treasures they held.

I went up to that crooked man and told him what i’ve known, and he can’t force me to do his bidding. Everything I’ve known about him will be released if I lived or died. He knew I wasn’t kidding, I was a smart man. He would turn every rock on its side and won’t find where I stashed the information. He let me go this time, but he said that I can’t ever be with my daughter again. If I attempted to do so, my daughter would pay the price.”

You pause for a moment, feeling a uneasiness that overwhelmed your body.

“It’s hard when you want to do the right thing, because you’re giving up what you loved most. I agreed on our terms and walked away from the hospital, wishing that I could leave with my daughter.

I never told a soul what happened to me. I was scared that my past would haunt me again.

And I know that I will face the ghost who sought for my downfall: S-”

You cut off your sentence, your breath caught in your throat.

You look at Bruce who looked like his heart was breaking as you now know the truth.

“My grandfather is Sal Maroni?” you whispered.

Bruce only nodded before speaking.

“Because Dent didn’t marry your mother, Maroni disowned her: changing her name and moving her and you to where you lived when you were younger.” Bruce said, as he did extra information about Maroni’s family tree on the database.

You get out of your seat, not wanting to stare at your father’s words again.

“He left to protect me…” you muffled out, as you fought the tears to leave your watered eyes. You begin to lose your sight, not noticing that Bruce held you in your arms. You begin to collapse against his chest.

All your life, you thought that he didn’t care for you one bit. You thought of him as a villain, then it transgressed to a coward. But reading his words, you realized that all he wanted was to raise you.

You cry more in Bruce’s chest, feeling him soothe your back. What you don’t realize is that all of your boys are looking down from the staircase, their face stained with tears. They make eye contact with Bruce, realizing that Two Face wasn’t the monster they thought he was.

There was a promise that night, and that was to find your father.

The thing I like most about Zuko is that he's stubborn and rebuffs any sort of affection shown towards him. Zuko is not the kind of person who just latches on to the first person that shows him a bit of kindness because of his past. Quite the opposite actually.

My main examples are these people (Aang, Katara, Jet, and Song) who have all shown Zuko affection or have extended an olive branch to him in friendship.

The first season, in the episode where Zuko dresses up as the Blue Spirit and gets Aang out, Aang asked him if they could have been friends. Mind you, this is right after he rescued Aang and got knocked out. He wakes up to this kid who's asking him hopefully if they could have been friends clearly trying to connect with him.

How does Zuko respond to this? Zuko throws flames at him to scare him away.

In the second season, Jet offers Zuko (who he knows as Lee) a place in his gang. They've just worked together in casing the captain's food and giving back to the refugees. Jet sees Zuko's potential and connects with him on a personal level. He wants him to join his crew and be one of the Freedom Fighters and have friends to call his own.

And what does Zuko do at this offer of friendship? He rejects him just like he did Aang.

Later on in the same season, Zuko and Katara get stuck in the same cave and connect on an emotional level about their shared trauma from the Fire Nation. They share their loss and from there Katara sees Zuko as more than just an evil prince who wants to stop the Avatar from bringing peace to the world. She offers him her spirit water to heal his scar!!! That's a huge deal!

What does Zuko do right after this? Right after his heart-to-heart with Katara? Yes, you got that right. He turned against her and joined Azula! Because Zuko isn't the kind of guy who just latches on to the first, second, third, or fourth person who shows him affection.

And even early on in season 2 we see that this is a common thing for him not just a fluke with the avatar in season 1. We see it with Song, someone who cared for, housed, and showed that Zuko was not alone by showing her own scars. Zuko responds as he usually does by closing up again and stealing her family's ostrich horse.

But the most glaring of all is how he treats Iroh throughout the series up until Book 3.

This man has been the most consistent and most solid figure in Zuko's life. He supported and protected him. He tried to guide him to make the right choices. And what does Zuko do after all this? He betrays Iroh!

All for what? Because there's one thing Zuko's wanted throughout the series. His honor. His single-minded goal to regain his honor makes him reject these connections because, and this is just me, he doesn't think they'll benefit him in any way. He's thinking about things critically and he doesn't want to show weakness.

You know when he does choose to accept affection? When Azula offers it. You know, the one he says always lies and always has an agenda and is always out to get him.

She's the one she believes and joins time and time again.

The first one we see in season 1. She tells him that "Father wants you back" and Zuko believes her because of how badly he wants what she's saying to be true.

The second season, she tells him she can't take over Ba Sing Se without him and Zuko joins her even when Iroh and literally everyone else wants him not to. He joins her because she has what he wants, a chance to regain his honor.

And so we see in the third season how she expertly manipulates him and then finally finally Zuko realizes what his uncle has been trying to tell him all this time and frees himself and decides his own destiny. He realizes his honor lies elsewhere not in the Fire Nation!

And when he finally tries to offer his help to the gaang, it's on his own terms even if it's the worst timing ever. Zuko even brings back the thing Aang told him in season one about being friends.

So, in short, Zuko is a prickly son of a bitch and that's my TEDtalk.

Chapter 14 - This Venerable One is Married

The red veil was thin and hung in front of his eyes. Although he could still see things, he couldn't see them clearly. Chu Wanning had sullen eyebrows and a calm face and was brought to the flower hall by the ghost bridesmaid.

Looking up through the soft red, seeing the person standing there, the temperature of Chu Wanning's whole body suddenly dropped several degrees.

Mo Ran was also dumbfounded.

No. . . shouldn't it be Shi Mei who came out?

The "bride" in front of him had bright red makeup and his face is covered by tulle. Although his facial features were slightly blurred under the veil, it was still Chu Wanning's handsome and murderous face, just staring at him, his eyes filled with the intent to kill.

Mo Ran: ". . ."

He was at a loss at first, and then his expression gradually became extremely complicated. After all kinds of emotions cycled on his face, a strange silence settled between them. Chu Wanning looked at the other, the atmosphere becoming extremely embarrassing.

It happened that the golden boy and girl behind the two chuckled. They clapped their hands and began to sing.

"The water of the White Emperor, the waves are clear; the ghost mandarin ducks are greeted with flowers.

In the coffin, they lie in the same cave; before life, the intention is clear after death.

From now on, they will be together in the underworld, and the lonely souls will never leave each other."

The lyrics were eerie, but they were also full of lingering feelings.

If he could speak, there was only one word Mo Ran wanted to say.

--"Gross."

But he couldn't speak.

There is a pair of paper mâché men and women in front of the stage. Although they had no faces, they were dressed richly and gorgeously. They were slightly loose and bloated. It is supposed to refer to a person who has reached middle age in the main hall.

The official of the ceremony began to sing with a sloppy tone: "The bride is charming and shy, with low eyebrows and soft eyes, a red veil covering her face and delicate smile. Please come and let the groom lift the veil."

". . ." Mo Ran was originally very reluctant, but when he heard this, he went crazy holding back his laughter.

Hahahaha, the bride is charming and shy, ahahahahaha!

Chu Wanning's face was blue, and he closed his eyes while holding back his anger, as if this would make him deaf even with his ears.

The ghost bridesmaid laughed and handed Mo Ran a folding fan. "Fan" and "good" are pronounced the same, which means that the marriage is a good fate.

"Would the groom please lift the cover?"

Mo Ran held back his laughter, but he submitted. He held the fan handle to lift the light veil in front of Chu Wanning's eyes. His eyelashes smiled cheekily, going to look at Chu Wanning's expressive face.

As if feeling the sneering gaze of the other party, Chu Wanning, who had endured it for a while, did not hold back. He opened his eyes abruptly, a pair of eyes flashing with lightning, full of a sword-drawn, murderous aura.

His red gaze seemed to match his fiery red clothes. Although the intensity didn't lessen, the reddish ends of the eyes caused by anger and grievance had a unique romantic style.

Mo Ran looking at these eyes, unconsciously startled, and his smile instantly froze. The shizun in front of him was suddenly so similar to the one in his previous life that he almost forgot what day it was.

Even though it was only for a moment, it was enough to make Mo Ran break out in a cold sweat.

He had once done three vicious things to Chu Wanning:

Firstly, kill him. That is, make a fatal move against Chu Wanning.

Secondly, humiliating him, forcing Chu Wanning to have sex with him.

Thirdly. . .

Thirdly, it was the most painful thing he did in his previous life, and it was also the thing he regretted the most.

Of course, the emperor of the human realm wouldn't admit that he regretted something he had done, but he couldn't escape the internal suffering it brought in the end.

Damn it. Why did he think of that crazy past again and think of Chu Wanning from back then?

Mo Ran shook his head, biting his lip, trying to shake off that memory of Chu Wanning's face and re-assessing the person in front of him.

Chu Wanning has been staring at him with eyes that screamed "I'll kill you". Mo Ran didn't want to provoke this prick, so he had to pretend to play innocent with a helpless smile.

The official said: "Bride and bridegroom, perform the Rite of Washing."

The so-called "Rite of Washing" is that the newlyweds should dust and clean themselves before wiping and washing each other's hands.

The ghost bridegroom brought a porcelain jug filled with clean water and lifted the jug to ask the two of them to wash their hands. The washing water was followed by a basin underneath.

Chu Wanning's face was full of disgust, but he had to wash the other party after washing himself. Because Mo Ran was a little distracted, he looked quite restrained, silently washing his hands for Chu Wanning. Chu Wanning didn't have a good temper. He splashed Mo Ran with the whole pot and soaked half of his sleeves.

". . ."

Mo Ran stared at the wet half of his sleeves for a while. He didn't know where to look, but there was no expression on his face, only some subtle lustre flowing deep in those dark eyes.

He thought in a daze.

Chu Wanning hasn't changed, has never changed.

What he does, what he thinks, in his past life and in his present life, he was exactly the same, not changing a bit. . .

He slowly raised his head. For just a moment, he felt that he was standing on Life-Death Peak, standing in front of the Wushan Temple. Chu Wanning walked towards him from the bottom of the stretch of imperial steps, and the next moment he would kneel down on him in front of him. The noble head would fall to the ground, and his straight spine will be bent and humiliated. Chu Wanning would lie down in front of him and couldn't afford to worship.

"The Rite of Washing is complete."

The ghost bridesmaid suddenly sang a long song, snapping Mo Ran out of his thoughts.

He regained his senses abruptly and met Chu Wanning's eyes. The dark pupils gleamed with cold light, like a sabre covered with snow, which was truly frightening.

Mo Ran: ". . ."

...Uh, his previous life was his previous life after all. Thinking about Chu Wanning kneeling down to him was enough for this life. The price he would have to pay to make it happen was too great. . .

After the Rite of Washing ceremony, there is the Rite of Togetherness, and then the Rite of Drinking from Nuptial Cups.

The ghost bridesmaid sang slowly: "The couple will drink one cup of wine together, and from now on, in this world, they will never be separated."

The cups were crossed and then they worshipped the heavens together.

Chu Wanning seemed really close to going crazy. His slightly upturned slender phoenix eyes narrowed dangerously. After Mo Ran left, he would probably pound the Master of Ceremonies Ghost into the mud.

But he really couldn't look at Chu Wanning when he was like this.

Even if he took another look, he could fall back into those messy and dirty memories, and he wouldn't be able to drag himself back out.

"The first bow—— kneel to the heavens——"

He thought that even if this was all improved, Chu Wanning was too arrogant and stubborn to kneel, but he did not expect that he would need to in order to complete this set of steps. He twitched his eyebrows and closed his eyes, but he still knelt down, and the two of them bowed together.

"The second bow—— kneel to the family——"

Come on, just kneel towards those two faceless paper men, they can also be called the family.

"The third bow - kneel - to each other -"

Chu Wanning's eyes were half-lidded. Without even looking at Mo Ran, he turned around, taking a gulp and rapidly knelt down, clenching his teeth together.

Unexpectedly, the two were really out of sync. They got too close and banged their heads together.

Chu Wanning sucked in a breath of pain, clutching his forehead. He raised his moist eyes and staring fiercely at Mo Weiyu who also rubbed his forehead.

". . ." Mo Ran felt he had to say: "I'm sorry."

Chu Wanning didn't say anything. He grimaced and rolled his eyes.

Then there was the Rite of Binding Hair. The official sang: "Binding hair as husband and wife, the love between them is clear." The ghost bridesmaid handed over the golden scissors and Mo Ran couldn't help but shrink back, lest Chu Wanning be displeased and stab himself to death. Chu Wanning seemed to have this intention, but in the end, he only cut of a piece of each other's hair. He put them into the pouch presented by the golden boy and girl and they were put away by the "bride" Chu Wanning.

Mo Ran was tempted to ask him, you won't use my hair to curse me in a rage, take out the villain, right?

The tribute officer sang: "The Rite - is complete -"

Both were relieved and got up from the ground. Unexpectedly, the official yelled leisurely at the next moment:

"The time has come to send the bride to the bridal chamber——"

What. The. Hell!!!

Mo Ran froze instantly.

A mouthful of old blood almost spewed out!

What a joke. If he dared to sleep with Chu Wanning, this wedding was going to be a real fucking marriage! If he should die beneath a peony flower*, he would still be charming as a ghost. . . No, the person he wanted in his two lifetimes was the untainted Shi Mei, not this cold-blooded devil Chu Waning who would tie up anyone who coveted him and throw them into the mud pond to humiliate them!!

(T/N: peony flower is a metaphor for a beautiful woman)

Is it too late to run away from the marriage?
