[comixandco]

ik that taako’s voice in the first episode was because justin was still figuring out his character but i like to imagine that before joining bob taako put on fake accents to avoid being recognised, since he was wanted for the whole poisoning incident, but also for the bit

and then kravitz changes accents mid-fight in crystal kingdom and then drops them during their date at the chug ‘n’ squeeze and taako’s like oh 😳 same hat 😳

yandere! luo binghe with shixiong!male!reader headcanons

Warnings: obsessive behavior, mentions of violence, physical abuse, and blood.

There may also be possible triggers in this story.

If you do not feel comfortable venturing any further, please hit the 'back' button on your device or computer and read something much more pleasant than a possible series of unfortunate events.

I would like to thank @berrypuddingpwease for helping me expand a concept to full-fledged headcanons featuring one of my favorite characters from MXTX's danmei series, Scum Villian's Self-Saving System, aka SVSSS. This is dedicated to you, my friend :)

So without being said, sit back, relax, and enjoy!

Luo Binghe had suffered one tragedy after another in his life, and being a disciple of Cang Qiong Mountain Sect with a scummy master would later serve as the foundation of his twisted personality in the future. You know it will happen because you have read it. This world you had woken up in, is none other than the famous stallion novel, Proud Immortal Demon Way. Your current incarnation wasn’t a member of Luo Binghe’s three digit harem nor the villain Shen Quingqui, but an extra, a senior disciple in Qing Ding Peak. 

Since you weren’t equipped with a system, at least that you were currently aware of at the moment, it wouldn’t be considered OOC for canon fodder to try and be a good mentor to the current white lotus that is Luo Binghe, or try to improve your own cultivation so there was a chance you would survive the sect’s demise when the protagonist emerged from the Endless Abyss as an awakened Heavenly Demon. 

It started off with the small things; greeting Luo Binghe  with a smile whenever you saw him, sneaking an extra bit of food or medicine into the woodshed when you were sure no one was watching you, especially Shen Qingqiu. He might be a good teacher, but his temper was a legend in this peak. 

The only way you could help Luo Binghe improve himself was to purposely compare your cultivation manual with the one he had, the false one written by the peak lord in an attempt to thwart the protagonist’s growth. By doing this, it would add another reason for Luo Binghe to hate his shizun. 

You allowed him to borrow your book to copy any information he needed, as long as he was discreet. Lup Binghe swore to take good care of the manual, holding it close to his chest with sparkling eyes as he stared at you with a smile. It was cute, this white lotus version of Binghe. 

Seeing positive changes in how behavior had been worth withstanding Shen Qingqiu’s anger, especially when he found out just the other day that you were the culprit who had been sneaking an extra portion of food to the protagonist. Good things the sleeves of the cultivation uniform were long enough to hide the bruises starting to form on your arms. There’s no doubt that the sect leader will start dishing out punishment to you from now on, even for the smallest mistake. 

Oh, well. You’ll just have to be more careful in behaving around the rest of the sect and Binghe from now on. Still, how could he continue to grow without triggering the events that would lead to his blackening?

As you contemplated these thoughts, you could not have realized nor believed just how much of your presence in this world the plot of Proud Immortal Demon Way in very unexpected ways until it was too late to revert the damage that had already been done. 

Luo Binghe is a  very sticky, lovesick puppy for the shixiong who has treated him with so much kindness and respect and it scares him. He’s afraid he’ll wake up one morning….and realize that it had been a sweet, sweet dream. But he wakes up early every morning, and he sees his shixiong teaching the others alongside Ming Fan….and when his shixiong sees him, he smiles. And it is a warm, friendly smile that Binghe secretly wishes would belong only to him and no one else. 

With his shixiong, Binghe’s life in the peak is so much better. He hasn’t been this happy in a long, long time…so why was his shizun continuing to punish his shixiong so unfairly? His shixiong didn’t do anything wrong! He is training him and the other disciples in preparation for the Immoral Alliance Conference, and doing more than his fair share of the chores around the peak! 

But no matter what his shixiong did or did not do, their shizun would pull him away from him or the others, and his shixiong would not return to the bamboo house until it was past dinner-time. 

Shixiong tried to brush off his concerns with a smile, but Binghe wasn’t blind! He sees the angry whip marks on his senior’s arms, his head and robes soaked with tea, the pained look in his eyes! Shixiong….Shixiong doesn’t deserve to be treated like this!

He needed to get stronger. Not just to protect himself but to make sure Shen Quingqui wouldn’t hurt his shixiong ever again! And if the sect didn’t accept them being together, then they will find happiness elsewhere. Rogue cultivators did exist beyond these mountains, although the other disciples believed they were wholly evil. But Binghe has come to realize that this world isn’t just black and white.

[noir-renard]

@kiwwles you sent me an ask about fics I recommend, and I was trying to save the answer as a draft and the whole ask disappeared 🥲 I don't know if it got deleted or if I answered it privately, but since it appears all traces of it are gone, I will try to recreate it here, because I worked on it for a while and I don't know why tumblr is like this

AnYwAy, I chose two fics per category, from four categories: DPxDC, DP only, Batman (+ DC), and Other. I focused on DP/DC because I figure if you like IYGABAB, you might want to read more from those fandoms.

Here are my recs:

DPxDC

Vacation Crashers by @impyssadobsessions

Batman crashes in the wilderness following up a lead in a recent case.

Meanwhile the Fenton family was having a camping trip to celebrate Jazz's last year as a "kid", but considering who suggested the location, it spelt disaster.

Now Danny and Jazz have to survive an onslaught of ghosts, take care of an injured Batman, and while worrying about their parents.

This was the first DPxDC crossover fic I ever read; I saw Impy_'s art from this fic and I just had to know more, and now I'm happily tumbling down the rabbit hole into the wonderland that is the Danny Phantom/Batman crossover verse. Vacation Crashers is the first in a series, which is the best news ever ^w^ 10/10 recommendation!

Bat Ghost by @megaerakles

Bruce is attacked by the ghost of Batman from the future. To get to the bottom of it, he pays a visit to some prominent ghost hunters, and happens to encounter a teenaged half-ghost vigilante (?), who just *happens* to resemble Damian. A lot.

On an unrelated note, Tim Drake has done nothing wrong.

I love fics where the Batfam goes to Amity Park. It's always a good time to watch them out of their element and adapt accordingly. This is a particularly enjoyable rendition, and it's still updating, too!

DP only

Exhumed by Marsalias

AU where Danny left behind half his physical body when he half-died. (AKA Corpse AU.)

Marsalias is one of my favorite DP writers, hands down. I really love the Exhumed series in particular, though; the world-building is excellent, the OCs are wonderful, and the writing is skillful.

Trust Your Instincts by @peachdoxie

A new kind of danger threatens Amity Park. With no other leads, Maddie Fenton turns to the one individual that might be able to help: Danny Phantom. Meanwhile, after a near death experience, she begins to question everything she knows about ghosts.

Excellent Maddie-centric fic where a near-death experience forces her to confront her own prejudices and misconceptions around ghosts, as well as the failings of her own scientific hubris. Currently on hiatus, but this fic was my obsession this past spring. Features cool OCs, interesting ecto-science, and lots of heartfelt/heartwrenching conversations.

Batman only

Loading and Aspect Ratio by Jube514

A world where nobody has wings, but people think they do, and that changes everything. (A Batfam Wingfic with a twist)

An excellent twist on the wingfic trope that really suits Batman. Features a Good Dad!Bruce who leans into the misconception that Batman is a cryptid because a)it's funny and b) it's convenient.

Take It Back Now, Y'all by Timthetoaster

(In which Tim finds himself in the past, and tries to do the right thing. It's more complicated than he'd like.)

Tim Drake being a bad-ass, accidental time travel, attempted fix-it. What's not to love?

Other

TAZ(Balance): All The Things You Prayed For by @anonymousalchemist and @marywhal

Taako is The Winter Soldier and Lup is Captain America AU

This is one of the best stories I've ever read, hands down. I've read it about four times *at least*. Even if you are not familiar with The Adventure Zone or The Winter Soldier (MCU), it's written so well that you can enjoy it without context.

TMA: The Magnus Institute vs the 21st Century: a series of emails and IMs by @shinyopals

What happens if the Magnus Institute gets a Data Protection Officer? What's it like to work in Tech Support? How are employee reviews conducted when your manager is Peter Lukas? This series does its best to answers these sorts of hard-hitting questions about office life at the Institute.

If you aren't familiar with The Magnus Archives it might be a bit hard to follow, but this epistolary fic has some of the best CSS coding and humor I've ever seen.

Anyway picking just a few was really difficult because I read a lot! I think every fic I've ever read has affected me in some way. But these are some of the ones most special to me. I hope you enjoy them!

10, 12 and 14 for Lups?

(From Remus-poopin btw😔)

hello from sideblog purgatory </3

10: Could you be best friends with this character?

honestly? i think maybe i could. well maybe not BEST friends because the combined forces of our avoidant personalities would probably severely hinder this relationship (aka we would like never talk to each other LOL). but idk remus is a sweet kinda nerdy kinda boring 30-something dude which is unfortunately a demographic i tend to get along with quite well rip. maybe we would be good coworkers

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

in lieu of writing a detailed psychoanalysis, i will simply say that i think he would be able to play the guitar... his sheltered youth makes me think he could have that slightly odd only child with millions of hobbies vibe, but it's also EXTREMELY LIKELY that i'm projecting here lol. idk i just feel like he's a guy who plays guitar at parties... not in a flashy way or anything, just that he doesn't really know what else to do with himself. it's kinda self-centered but also kinda endearing in a cool uncle way

14. Assign a fashion aesthetic to this character.

OH i've got something good coming up for this lol so i don't want to say too much... but i can't help myself. he's got such a solid aesthetic imo. that thrift store grandpa swag!!!! lots of knitted garments: old sweaters (jumpers sorry british people) in muted warm tones... gray cable-knit cardigans... socks with holes in them... UGH. i also kind of like a 40s/50s vibe for him what with the tweed and allat (aka give him suspenders PLEASE). basically his aesthetic is messy professor who always comes to class hungover

thank you for sending these! i don't talk about my dearest lupin enough lol

send me a character!

[entguarde]

OH FUCK IT, IM LISTING THE BIRDS

Magnus (And Julia): Golden eagle (i wanted to make most residents in Raven’s Roost based off birds that live in Yosemite, hence why both are eagles!)

Merle (and his family): Floridian burrowing owl (YOU CANT TELL ME MERLE ISNT A FANTASY FLORIDA MAN I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL)

Klaarg: Argentavis (aka huge fucking vulture)

Barry (and i cant stress this enough) Bluejeans: BLUE FOOTED BOOBY

Magic Brian: European starling

Writing Masterpost

Hello!

I've finally gotten around to doing some blog maintenance and making a masterpost of all of the writing I've posted on here. If you've found my blog because of a fic post and want to know if there is more where that came from, you're in the right place!

I write mainly fic for The Magnus Archives and TAZ Balance, with a few original things thrown in for spice! Most links stay on Tumblr, but I've also got some of my longer pieces on AO3 linked here as well.

List is under the cut, and thanks for being here!

MAGNUS ARCHIVES FIC

One-shots & multi-chaps (links to AO3):

present tense - Safehouse-era love confessions, the world didn't end edition.

will you remember me - Somewhere Else coffee shop au! Martin is intrigued by an attractive stranger who comes into his coffee shop, especially when they have an intense reaction to seeing him.

why can't the words I need ever come to me  - Research-era Jon finds Tim crying in the bathroom. He tries to help.

slippage (4 chapters) - Jon starts to forget while he and Martin are still in Upton House. Martin has to try to get him out before he forgets everything.

something to hold onto - Tim & Jon s2 reconciliation, with background jondanny

a promise and a prayer - alternate ending to TheOestofOC's The Kindness of Strangers; or, what if Jon & Tim had reconciled before the Unknowing

these constellations will guide you back - What if Martin had been the one to find Jon trying to get his "anchor" for the coffin instead of Melanie?

Tumblr ficlets:

Somewhere Else coffee shop AU: snippet 1 (Martin) snippet 2 (Jon)

Tim & Jon's Excellent American Adventure: 1 (at the airport) 2 (there was only one bed (platonic) aka literal sleeping together) 3 (statement dependence)

how this grace thing works - Taako helps Lucretia with post S&S nightmares, and maybe, just maybe, something starts to heal.

ooooh uh in the lively city or the taakitz library prompt (with like, the magic performance) OR a very important announcement (aka where you made me bawl like a little baby dbsbdjfjf /lh) !

ALL THREE!!!! ALL THREE!!!! ALL THREE!!!! :D

In the Lively City I think is one of my favorite semi early fics lol It was my first time writing Lup and Barry pining for each other, and as I was writing it, I was just going hehehe >:3 the whole time because I knew it was going to be a painfully read at the end of it lol It also pained me to write the ending of it, but sacrifices ya know? 🤷🏽‍♂️ lol

Also, when I got the prompt, it was right after I reblogged a different prompt list, but the person who sent it in had just liked Drinking Your Feelings on here, and they didn't specify what prompt list they got the prompt they wanted from, so I was originally going to write something else that still had to deal with Lup and Barry pining for each other, but that time, I think it was going to be a conversation between Barry and Taako?? I don't really remember what it was going to be because I never ended up writing it, and I deleted the notes I made for it after I wrote Into the Lively City because I didn't really feel like writing that story anymore. I know though that it was also either going to reference Taako getting on Barry's ass to make a move or it was going to be a conversation between the two of them where Taako gets on him to make a move lol Anyway, after I wrote the notes for that down, I realized that because the person had just read the other fic, they probably wanted the prompt from that list, so I DMed them to ask, and that's why this fic exists and not the other one lol

And Performing Distractions my beloved <3

This was the first AU I ever wrote, I think ever actually in all of the fanfiction I've ever written both in this fandom and for other things. Usually most of the stuff I write is canon compliant, and pretty much everything I wrote outside of this fandom takes place after the story. The reason why a good chunk of my writing for this fandom takes place in technically the middle of the story is because there's gaps of time between arcs that could be filled in, and the Stolen Century is basically a big 100 year void of stuff that can be filled in with literally anything lol Also, the stuff I wrote before this fandom were all multi chapter fics, so it's easier to write something in the middle of the story when it's only a scene or two lol

Anyway, it was a little weird at first branching out like that in my own writing, but I couldn't think of any way to make the prompt work while it still being canon compliant, so it took a bit to come up with the idea for it. Then when I decided that I wanted Kravitz and Taako and co. to have a showdown, I looked up violin music on YouTube, so that I could be able to describe the music Kravitz would be performing, and that's when I came across Lindsey Stirling's channel (I had no idea who she was or that she was a famous violinist), and her song Roundtable Rival which is one of the most kickass songs I've ever heard, so I decided to use that as Kravitz's song, and then afterward I binged listened to her music. Her music is great, but I still like Roundtable Rival the best lol

Also, I got so excited with writing everyone's performances that I felt really nervous before posting it that I didn't add any attraction in the beginning of the fic, and I had no idea how to go back and shoehorn it in, so I just added "beautiful" as a modifier to "male elf" when first introducing Taako to the story, and then I kinda crossed my fingers and hit post lol

And last but not least!! A Surprise Announcement my absolute BELOVED <3

Ise sent this one in and only put Magnus as the requested character, but I absolutely knew it was going to be a magnulia fic lol And it took a bit to figure out what I wanted it to be about, but then I realized I could write the fluffiest thing and still hurt everyone's feelings! My very favorite thing to do! >:3 lol /hj

I don't know if anyone noticed because not many people read Is It Worth It?, but I did add the characters either mentioned or were a part of that story as people Magnus brought up when he talks about who around Raven's Roost would be able to help them raise their child and added a couple more people I think. I also mentioned those same people in Was It Worth It? which was more of a direct-ish sequel to Is It Worth It? (Hence the naming sequence lol), but that's all to say because they're all connected and basically my head canonned OCs of people who lived in Raven's Roost. Everything canon compliant, as usual, which makes me so >:)

(Also, bonus since I brought it up, I originally had a debate on whether or not I wanted to end Is It Worth It? with a scene where Magnus finds Xalver and Loriza dead and has Xalver's words echo back to him, basically what happens at the end of Was It Worth It?, as a direct juxtaposition to Magnus convincing Xalver to help with the revolution but decided against it because I thought it would diminish the message and hope of the story. It bugged me on and off though for a long time until I made it to last year's taz November celebration prompt the semi-sequal is based off of, and I knew it was the right time to tell that story, and it was going to have a greater impact because A. I wasn't starting directly at the scene where Magnus is standing over the bodies, and B. I didn't spend the entire fic building up the fight for hope just to tear it down again. I was already starting from a place of hope and happiness, and the loss of it was its own message)

Thanks for sending this in!! :D If you would like to send in a fic that you associate with my username in exchange for a secret about it, feel free to send in an ask!

tagged a hot minute ago by @ancientouroboros ❤️ glad to hear from you friend

Three ships: barry/lup, phoenix/edgeworth, aziraphale/crowley

Last Song: song that might play when you fight sans in smash 64 (aka song that gives me energy to walk down to the mailbox and back)

Last Movie: nine to five 👌 an absolute classic

Currently reading: ......the same book the rest of this website is reading. you know the one

[kbirbpods]

Look below the cut for kbirb's @purimgifts 2024 letter (a little late, I'm sorry, it's been so hectic these past few days)

For reference, check out my "dear podficcer" letter from ITPE, which goes into more detail, as I know we want to keep these short and sweet! (It doesn't look short because bullet points but trust me... I tend to be wordier)

Hi! I'm kbirb on ao3 or Kaje to the wider internet/many of my IRL friends. I'm a nonbinary creator - typically podfics & graphics, though I do occasionally spill words onto a page and call it writing. I started podding in August 2022.

I think it's easiest to put it this way:

Triggers/Squicks/No-Thank-Yous:

Rape/non-con/dub con - with the caveat of rape recovery and abuse recovery being something I do enjoy in stories

Incest - I understand that to some portions of the fandom, clone shipping is called clonecest, but I do ship clones (with some caveats)

Underage/power dynamics - as a teacher, it's a major no from me

On-screen suicide/suicidal ideation - aka, if a character is recovering from suicidal ideation? That's fine. A character commits the act or seriously considers it? No thank you. It's easier to just say a blanket no to it

Cockroaches - idk I just hate them so much

Yes Please Times 1,000:

Slice of life

Modern AUs

Fluff in general

Hurt/comfort

Soulmate AUs (my faves)

Period piece AUs (especially regency era, oh my)

No Order 66

Crackfic

My favorite ships (applicable to this exchange, so focused on Jewish characters/women/Jewish women):

I tried to pick from all the fandoms I listed but I like a lot of gen fic in some of them. Especially ones like OFMD where there's not that many women in the first place, so I like fics that focus on women being power houses.

Star Wars [most of my SW ships are M/M so this is a little limited]: Ahsoka / any woman ever (well not ever but you get it), Kanin/Hera, Jyn/Cassian, Bail/Breha/Fox, Bly/Ayla

Ted Lasso: Keeley/Roy, Keeley/Roy/Jamie, Rebecca & Keeley, Rebecca & Ted

Batfam/DCU/Young Justice: Harley/Ivy, Kate Kane/any woman ever (again, not ever, but you get it), Jason/Kori/Roy, Artemis/Wally, Barbara/Dinah, Barbara/Kara, Barbara/Dick, Selina/Bruce, Selina/Harley/Ivy

The Locked Tomb: Gideon/Harrow, the fucked up polycule that created Gideon

The Adventure Zone: Lup/Lucretia, Lup/Lucretia/Barry, Aubrey/Dani

The Old Guard: Quynh/Andy

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Willow/Tara, Buffy/Spike, Buffy & Willow, Buffy & Tara

Six of Crows: Inej/Kaz, Inej/Nina, Nina/Mattias

The Good Place: Eleanor/Chidi, Eleanor/Tahani

My favorite canonically Jewish characters from my listed fandoms (tragically there is only a few due to the fantasy world element of many of my fandoms):

Harley Quinn (DC)

Kate Kane (DC)

[some versions of] Bruce Wayne (DC)

[some versions of] Barry Allen (DC)

Agnus McDonald (TAZ)

Willow Rosenburg (BtVS)

Also Roy Kent, my favorite character in all of media, is played by a Jewish actor.

I really like fics that portray Bruce as Jewish, due to Kate (his cousin) being Jewish, and especially ones that branch into exploring Judaism for the entirety of the Batfam. For example, I recently did a podfic of one for ITPE that was different Hanukkah stories!

Further, I love love love any fics surrounding trans women or really any fics that bring a new focus to a character that we haven't seen before!

Trans Clones!! My favorite thing ever in the SW universe. I have several of my own nonbinary/trans woman clone OCs. If you wish to make any characters trans, the only clone/clone ship I do not ship is Cody/Rex because they feel like siblings to me. My favorite clone/clone ships that could be made trans are: Rex/Bacara, Wooley/Longshot, Waxer/Boil, Hevy/Fives/Echo, Fox/Fives/Echo. My favorite clone/jedi ships that can be made trans are: trans!Bly/Ayla, Cody/Obi-Wan, Fox/Quinlan, Hevy/Jon Antilles, Fox/Jon Antilles, Fox/Quinlan/Jon Antilles

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me in an anonymous ask... or reach out to my best friend, FLOWERPARRISH, on discord if you know zir/on here and ze won't tell me who you are. Ze knows me very very well & might even be better to ask if you don't want to spoil a podfic or anything!!

[raineydaywrites]

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love ❤️❤️❤️!!

Thank you!!! It was hard to make decisions on this because I kept going back over my fics and saying like "oh yeah! I love that one!" so thank you for the excuse to reread some of my favorite things I've written. Links at the bottom in order.

Still Much That Is Fair: Star Wars Prequels: Baby Obi-Wan tries to kill himself and ends up in the future instead. I LOVE angst and LOVE to write characters suicidal, but DON'T love major character death. So anytime I can find a way to "kill" a character and bring them back I'm into it.

The Parent Trap(pred in an Umbrella): TAZ Balance AU where Barry and Lup were dating Lucretia. Lucretia didn't know she was pregnant when she fed her journals to Fischer, but here we are now. Or, The Director of the Bureau of Balance and The Last of the Red Robes are co-parenting twins together. I adore kid fics, I adore Barry and Lucretia (individually and as members of the Blupcretia polycule), and I adore drama.

one more last try i'm gonna get the ending right: The Umbrella Academy: AU where Five has a kid during his (comics-canon) manslut days in the Commission. This changes some things. Again, I LOVE kidfics and I love Five, but also!! I love the idea of an abused kid growing up to be a lot like his father in a lot of ways but not being a terrible dad! It's parallels, baby.

Baby Bird Angus AKA Nesting and Taking Flight: TAZ Balance: I'm counting this as one story because it basically is. Taako is Angus' biological dad. He was carrying him when they left on the Starblaster. Angus grows up weird because I didn't want to make them all deal with late pregnancy, labor, and infant every year for 100 years.

when i'd fight you use to tell me I was brave: TAZ Balance: Kravitz has to prevent Lucretia from killing herself feat. weird time nonsense! I LOVE angst and suicidal characters, as stated before, and I LOVE convoluted time nonsense!!
