thoughts on the Eddie scene from the end of the commercial reel? :D
HAHA oh man. okay while i'm waiting on the results of that poll, i might as well answer this. thoughts under the cut:
so, this may be me being optimistic, but i actually don't think this is indicative of eddie being permadead or anything, and not just because i think it'd be kinda cheap to kill a character off this early into the story before we even got to really know them. rather, i think this is a pretty straightforward explanation for eddie's absence from the homewarming recordings: he spent most of the day in his office waiting to be called on, only got invited to the homewarming party once everyone else had wrapped up their shenanigans, and proceeded to disassociate so hard that he was borderline catatonic when frank managed to draw his attention away from whatever he saw when he looked beyond the veil - and it's implied that frank was the only (or at least, the first) person to notice his acute distress in the first place. in short, eddie's presence throughout the entire holiday of homewarming ended up being so inconsequential either way that he might as well have not even been worth mentioning. of course, if he is missing by the next update then like. egg on my face. but that's how i see it for now.
so, is The Void that eddie found himself in when he first opened his eyes real? i mean, certainly on some level, it must be. either it's the truth of the neighbors' world or it is simply true for home, since they were the only other entity there - and since home is at the center of their world, well...... . as for what the void represents - i feel like that's something we'll only have a clearer picture of once another character finds themselves in The Bullshit, but i can hazard a few guesses, the first and most obvious being that it's eddie accidentally piercing the veil by being just a little too OOC for the universe's liking, i.e. "silly mailman, you're the resident workaholic! you're not actually supposed to relax, that's just so this special can end!" the second interpretation - and one that i like just a bit more, if i'm being honest - is that it's a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy, or that distress over a deviation from the status quo makes one more susceptible to The Horrors.
hear me out: we know from the previous show scenes in the commercial reel that feeling useless or unneeded by way of having no work to do is a really easy way to get under eddie's skin, and his agitation over that was still lingering when sally invited him to the homewarming party. he's optimistic, yes - but very cautiously so. he's not used to it. something still feels a little wrong, which presents a prime opportunity for Something (home?) to wrap their arm around his shoulder and go, "buddy, you have no fucking idea." i remember reading a post that went something like "if a person goes from 1 to 100 seemingly out of nowhere, chances are they were at a 99 for a really long time, and they were just either hiding it or didn't even realize it." i think it's something like that. Something - home? wally? one of those two acting on the other's behalf? - sees this dissatisfaction, and in it, finds an opportunity to Make Them See. Make Them Understand.
something else i can't stop thinking about is that final shot of frank at the end. on the one hand, yes, it is very sweet how frank is willing to break away from formality if it means making sure that eddie's alright. on the other hand, though.... that shot of frank feels very idolizing to me. in the sea of red, frank is the one remnant of when things were fine and dandy for eddie just a few minutes before. he's in the center of the shot, and for that split second, arguably the center of eddie's world. they're even haloed by light, like an angel. again, whether they're in a properly established relationship by this point or if this is the beginning of their relationship turning from a playful flirtationship to something deeper, it's sweet to think that this is how eddie sees frank - as a refuge from The Bullshit. but i have to wonder... is eddie prepared for the possibility (or inevitability, rather) that one day, it'll be frank in that chair? given how frank likes things "just so," how is eddie going to react if, say, frank decides that the best way to ensure eddie's safety/wellbeing is to stay away from him? Many Questions Here.
[remembers that i suggested lower one's eyes as eddie's answer to frank's esperar pra ver once] [remembers that lower one's eyes is about a judas analogue being in love with a jesus analogue] [coughs up blood]
on that note, i know some folks think that at least some parts of "bug-a-bye and goodnight" are about eddie because "that's not the kind of thing you say about a bug!!!" but the thing about that is. it might not be what you would say about a bug. but it is absolutely what frank would say about a bug.
ok i'm done. For Now.

I'm not sure if you've been asked this before, but could you do the chain with a reader that is very much NOT built for the outside world?? (ie has asthma, hayfever, and all the works that werent an issue back in their modern world...) if the chain is too much, than maybe specifically just wild or twilight haha. thank you so much if this is possible! I'm a new fan, but these characters have infested my brain lmao
Oh honey they would be on you 24/7 and I mean that literally.
Admittedly, they’ll each be slightly irritated with this situation, they don’t hold any ill will towards you having someone who isn’t suited for traveling or combat accompanying them isn’t making their job any easier.
But as time goes on and bonding happens, when their blossoming feelings start edging into obsessive devotion, they have some…realizations.
For one, you’re just so delicate, even in your own world you were faced with specific burdens that others just weren’t. And while these burdens may have been alleviated by things from your own world, in theirs you struggle greatly.
So of course this sparks the already existing fear of you leaving because they’re smart enough to know that you want to go back. And they understand, why wouldn’t you wish to return a place with remedies you couldn’t find in theirs?
But where they once felt slightly burdened by your presence, now they are burned by your absence. You occupy every their every waking thoughts and at night they’re blessed with dreams of you.
At this point it feels like their hearts beat just for you.
Suffice it to say, they aren’t willing to let you go, not in the slightest. So they overcompensate by making it so you don’t have to lift a finger.
When in battle you are their first priority, protecting each other or themselves be damned. No hard feelings though since everyone is on the same page about this.
And lets say you get winded easily when walking with the group.Don’t worry, Twilight always has a spot for you on Epona and if on the off chance he doesn’t then he’s totally willing to just carry you.
A little too willing at some points since you’re pretty sure he nearly got into a fist fight with the Captain over who got to carry you one time…
Any and all chores you previously did as a part of the routine set up in the group have been pushed aside onto the other, more willing boys. Particularly Wind, Wild, and Hyrule since those three have always wanted to impress you and have you look at them and only them and say you’re proud of them, preferably accompanied by a kiss-
Plus, you’ll have a buddy in Sky who can relate to your issues and is always there for you whenever you need someone to vent to about your frustrations.
Sometimes you feel bad for pulling him away from the others to talk about your problems, but you don’t see the side eye he gives the others and the way his lips curl into a triumphant smile.
Whenever you share the former thought with him though, he always brushes off your concern and just says that he wants you to be happy and seeing you feel a bit more calm after venting makes him more joyful than you can imagine. You don’t owe him anything, just keep letting him hold your hands while you talk and he’ll be fine~
All in all, they just want you to see this world as more appealing than your own. You won’t need to worry about your health when they’re around to take care of you, nor would you become stressed because of job or school.
They’ll handle everything and take care of you, all you need to do is stay.

you want pharma and prowl? I’ll give you pharma and prowl!! Them both as romantic rivals trying(and failing) to woo reader (gn, can be whatever species) cause they are both losers (affectionate) they keep trying to flirt with reader, but are so jealous and possessive they keep getting in each others way, which is not helping their image in front of readers eyes. Maybe reader is a secretary and has worked under both, and their personality(and bod) attracted them in the first place . Here’s your pharma and prowl <3
author’s note : YESSSS YESSSSS THIS IS THE CONFLICT I NEED. ILL GIVE YOU A SMOOCH FOR THAT IDEA ALONE ANON. I’m a sucker for these tropes on goddd. Also don’t mind me as I change it to a medic, since it’s more flexible for me to work with <3 possible three some later ;;)) also, whoo! This is a lot longer than I expected.
ONLY ONE WAY UP THE HIGH WAY
summary : prowl and pharma finds themselves as rivals when they pine for the same darling pet and thus the inevitable egos clash.
You hate rom-coms.
Now, you might be a hopeless romantic; delving and losing yourself in romantic stories, tugging even the most deepest heartstrings which gets you all giggly and kicking your feet. What you hate, however, are bland characters. A random, mix and mash kind of chemistry, forced with no substance, set up as a love triangle.
Which is, quite literally, what's occuring right now.
You see, you’re a medic up in Delphi for some time before being paired up as Prowl’s buddy-buddy partner, because Chromedome insists someone needs to look after that unruly cop who’s always destined get himself killed.
And so you do. Upon Ratchet’s introduction to the Autobot SIC he’s not exactly someone friendly. He's, ah, rigid and prickly, the know it all by the book, kind of prickly. His unresolved anger issues takes quite the toll wheb you tend his wounds or even so much as to touch his arm. Though, demure as you are, you know when to stand up for yourself when the situation gets out of hand. And this kind of resistance managed to ease down his sharp edges. Now, he’s still a prick, a tolerable prick more accurately, but you’re both good pals!
Or so, that’s what you thought.
One unassuming day, you were lounging off as usual in the main area, gathering your bearings after another tough match with the hoards of patients when your communicator buzzes with a ping. It's a message from Pharma.
An Autobot base will be set up here in Messatine at due time. Will be expecting your arrival promptly.
Ah, Delphi. How long has it been, seven years? Meeting your mentor again was something of a, well, it wasn't far from a dream. Wasn't really a need, either. But it's definitely something, at least. Besides, Prowl said he had to monitor the new crew in case they messed up the communication systems, again. So, you decided, with a hopeful heart, to follow along with the Coppa to Delphi.
Yeah, bad decision. Whomp, whomp.
That hospital might have it's up and downs, and while saving patients might not be it's strongest suits, it's decor are definitely a catch to mind. Goodness, since when did they have the funds to do that? The stark white of the tiled floor ( since when did they had marble designed pillars? ) embellished with grey, engraved carvings stumped your prior, blatant distaste of the facility.
It's safe to say you're surprised.
You're sauntering across the halls of the hospital, admiring the added features of new wards, machinery and nurses, when you bump into a wall that is, apparently, Pharma. Your, uh, very, very nice superior who you squint at your notes is definitely obsessively clingy BUT very smart , but also crazy. Like, mad crazy. Haha....
Why do you attract people like this.
"And, who ..? is this?" Condescension spools from his tone as he sizes up the Autobot SIC with a careless wave of his hand like he's some newly discovered specimen.
"Their partner." He makes sure to emphasize the 'partner' like it's a bullet. "The 'who', here is a Prowl."
"Oh, is it now. I didn't expect you to move on that quickly, dear."
"You're in a relationship?" You feel his glare on you; it's not a question.
"No, he's just—"
"Kidding! I'm only kidding." Pharma gives a hearty laugh. "My, my, officer. You know, tight muscles are a sore to deal with if you're not going to loosen them anytime soon."
"No thanks. I'll stick with a stroke."
"Ah, the ever so pessimistic. Pleasure to meet you then, officer. I've heard lots about you."
The doctor gracefully extends a hand to which Prowl ignores and then replies without much a look to him.
"If that's so, then I'm not very pleased."
The hand falls sharply, so does the smile.
"Oh, good,"
You swore you heard a joint breaking when he snaps his neck to your direction, and while you look away, you knew the chesire grin-like smile on his face is nothing but a threat.
"Very, very good." He straightens up. "How about a tour?"
Honestly, you expected the two would be more civil since they’re both so heads over heels about their reputations in front of another superiorly defined character. What you didn’t expect, however, is intruding in a tug of war that materialized from, seemingly, out of nowhere.
Right, the doctor insisted on an individual tour of your own. He suggested Ambulon show Prowl around, while he would take the pleasure of doing the same to you.
Obviously, Prowl isn't having any of that. So, you're currently between them, one arm in Pharma’s grip and the other in Prowl’s unrelenting grasp. You wince as their digits dig into your skin. If they're not careful, that's gonna leave a mark for sure.
“They already know their place around the medical facility, Jet-fuel. I’m sure they’re able to handle themself just fine without your guidance,”
“Oh, yes indeed,” Pharma, despite Prowl’s 100 degree glare, grits through his forced grin and yanks you back by the scruff of your collar, right into his chest, “I invited them here, I might as well show them around. If I didn’t know any better you’re trying to hog my staff.”
You know better than to voice your opinions. Their inner brain workings, all the cogs and mannerisms were already familiar; operating under their influence is like treading around a field of broken hards bound to prick you at any moment lest you misstep.
"Your staff?” The Autobot SIC scoffs. “Im not hogging them. It's long gone. They're not working for you, anymore. But I'm sure you're not aware of that since you've got a stick up your ass."
“Not quite, actually. Before they became your little pet—“
“They're. Not. My. Pet. I’d prefer it if you didn’t reduce them to some mindless animal—"
“Doesn’t matter. they’ll be fine. I know you haven’t you heard about this since you’re new here but Delphi has its new additions around the facility. I’m merely trying to greet back an old prodigy of mine back. In fact, they’ll be fine without you.”
"Oh, really." Prowl's up in his face now, grinding his dentas.
"How about you push my buttons and let's see where this leads?" Pharma taunts with an obvious tick on his under-optics.
That’s last week and you’re surprised when Prowl is frequenting your work station more often, always nagging you about your reports and how you ‘incorrectly’ structure them. That's strange, he never does that. Why is it only now he's bothering you about it?
When you asked him to take a look, however, he merely tosses it elsewhere and hands you his own datapad for you to look through. Of course, Pharma pops up round the corner and chastises the strategist for hogging his medic’s working hours. He says it's 'unethical' use of Power-play and authoritism and that Prowl should be locked up in jail.
Even worse, they’ve had this tug of war battle where they would try to ‘woo’ you when they can. You weren’t surpised; Pharma’s quite full of himself, so obviously he’s got territorial problems, even though you're not sure why he's so possessive over you. But later you realized he IS the entire problem. Not singular, not plural, he’s a walking embodiment of a complicated problem.
It gets worse when you're trying to do your work and here they are barging into your cubicle with another problem. At this point, you’re convinced it’s just a fight Pharma puts up because he hates sharing his pets. Now? He’s gotten too far down the rabbit hole to get up. For sentient robots who’s been through a war and back, they’re so damn petty.
Pharma’s idea way of flirting is more up and personal, he doesn’t care about your personal space and he never will. Brother in Christ, this mech does NOT leave you alone. AT ALL. He touches you whenever the time allows him to and you knew he's doing that to get under the lesser affectionate Cop-bot's skin, who finds physical touch repulsive.
Sometimes, you feel his hands up on your waist, your back against his chest as he leans over to regard your report, chin on your shoulder. If he’s feeling more bold, he often puts in his two cents of insinuating a quick session in the office which you, uh, politely decline because you’ve got a meeting with the new interns.
There's always another time, he'd jest. Yeah, well, not so funny. He’s clingy, obsessive and despite the charming suave-esque front of a Bond Villain he puts up, he’s easily the best person you can turn into a pile of seething venom.
“My little pet, I think it’s high time Prowl has his duties transferred off elsewhere, don’t you think?” His optics are twitching, and his unusually sharp talons pierce the metal desk. “ Not that I mind, that rancid Cop-bot has been getting in my nerves, recently. Wrong, this, regulations that. Can you believe it, he terminated half of my crew for, as per his words, carrying out unsanitary operations! Thats defamation! A false accusation. It takes a whole restraint not to shove him down the grinds of the accelerator.”
Please, don’t.
“He’s just monitoring the district, sir.” You maintained a neutral tone. He’s at your desk again. And, instead of trying to woo you into his bed he’s complaining. Oh, my god. I’ve got a report due tommorow. And you’re complaining. Someone, help me.
“Well, he’s not monitoring anything anytime soon with how much blood he’s leeching from your body. I should've known better than to agree with his demands to stay in your office as well. He’s stuck to you like a damn mosquito.”
Like, you're any better. You deadpan.
Prowl, on the other hand is aware and accepted the fact that he’s definitely not the most likable or the best lover kind of material out there. And, to take someone like YOU to like him, someone playful and fun, not ripping out his head every two seconds, is a blessing in and of itself.
He can't even stay a second around someone without pissing off their early descendants. So, with his glock locked and loaded he takes 'counteractive measures' to ensure that nobody is going to take that moment of happiness away from him. Even if in unethical terms he’ll have to ensure it.
“You’re been forty five meters off from your office.”
You let out a startled yelp, swivelling around to meet Prowl, oh thank god prowl, who's expression is pinched, lips pressed in a thin line and his hands are intertwined behind his back, military-like.
“I’m buying drinks,” You clutch the myriad of snacks and drinks in your arms, blinking away your pounding heart. “ H-how’d you find me?”
Prowl merely glances at the contraption on his wrist where, when you crane your neck to look over, is a circular radar with a blinking red dot.
“You’re to notify your disappearance when necessary.” He grunts out and turns on his heel. “Let me know when Jet-fuel decides to harass you again,”
Weird. Still, you brush off his disdain for the medic as nothing when instead his, ah, paranoia (?) goes on for months. That one instance youre in the bathroom? Yeah. Hello, there. I'm just walking. Totally not peeking. Totally not—
Is that a new sock?
"Prowl!"
"I'm checking if there are cameras here."
"It's a bathroom?!"
"All the more reason why I should ensure there isn't."
What's more strange is the fact that there's a blatant evidence of someone meddling with your schedule. And, you had an inkling their tug of war session travelled even to technological seams.
This rivalry continued on (despite, literally, the entire hospital's annoyance) until you eventually lost it.
It was a Friday night.
A party was held in the lounge. The younger mechs had set the celebration up to mark the lethargic end of July. Of course, since you’re invited to the party, the two came along despite not being known as party-dwellers themselve. So, it was quite a sight for the young mechs to see.
You thought they’d tone down the hostility a little and even warm up with how much time they spnd trying to one up the other. That's enough months to start a relationship, God damnit. Unfortunately, you’re not able to drink freely without the two mechs pushing against your personal space. Prodding, blabbering away about how skimpy your outfit looked. You're wearing your uniform.
At some point you drink in defeat, squished between their two frames as either tries to stop you from drinking your misery out while the other eggs you on with another bottle.
After the party they insisted dragging you back to their quarters. You’re not even halfway into your room when they start bickering again.
“Don’t you have anything better to do, Prowl?” His name is a venomous jab in the guise of a forced, seething smile. “Your presence in the hospital is unnecessary as the security guard up front. A mandatory monitor check doesn’t require you here all the time. If i didn’t know any better, you’re deliberately trying to distract them so they’ll end up in your berth.”
You hold back a vomit as Pharma nabs you into his hold, the alcohol seething your veins aren’t doing much for your psyche and you stare dumbly at the floor, wanting to retch over it.
”I’m checking up on my partner.” Prowl stands his ground then tugs you into his chest again, “Doesn’t have anything to do with you, Jet-fuel.”
“Oh, it does, actually.” Another tug back, “ It’s called harassment and I'm going to report to your superiors for pestering one of my medics.’’
“Your medic?” He scoffs. “You’re a sad sorry bunch who’s got no chicks up his ass. If I didn’t know any better you’re manipulating them into caving into a newly registered scheme. A play toy, plaything, exhausted for pleasure. Don’t think I know you used to work with the D.J.D, Jet-fuel.”
“Call me that one more time and I’ll ensure your processor isn’t he only thing I’m dislodging from that helm."
“Illegal malpractice of surgery is an offense. Is that a threat, Jet-fuel?”
“Oh, you’ll see, Officer. You’ll see just how skilled I am with my Servos.”
They’re both at already each other’s throat, servos clenched, door wings, jet-wings flaring and blasters at the ready. The Engex they’ve ingested earlier only prompted the hostile ambience and as they were about to—
“Why won’t you both fuck me already!?”
In a fit of annoyance, inebriation and stupidity, the three horsemen of your misery, the words left your lips before you even think. They stop bickering and it felt like forever as they did a 180 , full, joints creaking swivel of a ‘What did you just say???’ baffled expression thrown at your direction.
But you’re still seething and only then you’ve realized your slip-up, you’re a crumpled mess on the floor, palms wide and open, clutching your face that’s unrelentingly burning. Pharma looks like he's been kicked in the crotch and Prowl looks like he's seen God.
Kill me. Kill me. Kill me. Kill me.
“Both of us, hm?” You hear Pharma muse and whether or not Prowl is considering the prospect, all you want to do as of now, is to rot in this hole you dug for yourself.

Omg, I just wanted to say I ADORE your characterization of Al and Vox! I don't even have the words to express how much I love reading your stuff, especially the Anon responses you post on here. The behind the scenes thoughts are literally my food, lifesource, its so good when people not only write characters IN CHARACTER, but also include stuff about their analysis/understanding of the character too.. I'm literally obsessed with breaking down characters and yk, cracking their chrome domes open to see how they work (which admittedly, I am not the best at <_< but I love reading them). Just wanted to say how much I love your writing.
I had maybe 2 questions, please don't feel pressured to answer them :>
What in your mind (in reference to the 66.6 fics) would motivate Alastor to let Val get close to him in the first place? Or was that more you picking these two characters up by the scruff of their necks and plopping them into a hypothetical scenario to explore their character and write some fun intimate thingsTM?
What do you think of the dynamic of Vox and Al vs something like Lucifer and Al? Personally I've noticed that something Alastor craves, behind the mask of his static smiling persona, is attention. He's (at least how I saw it) usually peeved when people don't care about his absence, and seems especially bothered by the King of Hell refusing to really acknowledge him, so he goes out of his way to push Lucifers buttons (like calling himself a father figure to Charlie, IN FRONT OF HER ACTUAL FATHER LOL) whereas with Vox, Vox is literally CONSTANTLY thinking about Alastor. Man literally interrupted his regular TV program to do a segment about how much he totally didn't at ALL care about Alastors dissapearance or the fact that he returned (suree buddy). So Alastor can have more fun with him and annoy him by ignoring and messing with him on purpose.
ty if you do respond to this, sorry if it was hard to understand, sometimes I forget how to put the thoughts in my brain into coherent words!
Ahhhh, thank you very much, anon! I'm especially happy that you're enjoying my commentary on Tumblr, haha - I spent a while on Twitter because that's where all the fandom zines I was in were being hosted, but nothing beats Tumblr for giving me a nigh-unlimited word count and a captive audience for my rambling! >:D <3 I'm back to cocooning myself on the OG hell site.
Thank you for this ask, it really brightened my day! :D
As for your questions:
1. I'm assuming that was a typo and that you mean Vox (but in case you did mean Val: that was just a funny accident of him walking by the room! Alastor wasn't paying enough attention until it was too late), and to that I say:
I think Alastor allows Vox to take a go at him in canon because he finds Vox's obsession with him to be entertaining, but also because Alastor is kind of a narcissist and that same obsession massively feeds his ego, especially in a political climate that otherwise forgot about Alastor. Vox's whole "Who gives a shit about Alastor coming back?! Haha, now let me have a public meltdown and short out power to the whole city about it! Oh, fuck, why is he back, though?? Can we send a spy in to find out??" is exactly the reaction that Alastor wants every time he mentions his mysterious absence and gets brushed off.
At the same time, Alastor doesn't seem to register Vox as a sincere and genuine threat. He's a big enough fish in the Pride Ring pond that his obsession with Alastor is gratifying, but Alastor's self-absorption also doesn't really allow him to treat Vox as a threat tier above "annoying in a funny way, and also television is stupid." (Perhaps this will change in season 2... :eyes: (or perhaps Alastor will get Even Worse) (please god let him get even worse))
So those two things in combination make Vox the perfect candidate for Alastor to experiment with while maintaining his ego and not feeling particularly threatened. Despite Vox's Safeword 101 talk, Alastor would never put stock into that system with Vox unless he was certain that he himself would be able to back up a 'no' with overwhelming force. Him even considering safewords in the Live On Air! series is less for his own sake and more a politesse he offers on Vox's request to warn Vox to slow the fuck down before Alastor tries to put his insides on the outside.
2. And in direct contrast, we have Lucifer...
... Who Alastor obviously actually cares quite a bit about, because he's a whole nother power tier from both Vox and Alastor, and furthermore and possibly even more importantly, a credible threat to Alastor's relationships and standing in the hotel. I think a lot of discussion I see about Alastor prodding Lucifer seems to talk about how quickly he got annoyed about Lucifer's comments, but that misses the fact that he was pissed off before Lucifer even showed up. He got pissy the moment he saw the welcome sign, actually! And I wager that he was narratively absent for the scene where Charlie actually calls Lucifer because he would have done his best to manipulate her out of doing so had be been there.
And given that the two clearly haven't met before (though obviously Alastor knows of Lucifer - and hates that the inverse isn't true, hah), it's not 100% clear exactly why he's immediately so annoyed, but in my personal view of things and barring something like "he's projecting onto Lucifer because his contract is with Lilith," I think that what we know of Alastor's personality points most strongly to "he liked being the hotel's benefactor and sees it as His Project, and doesn't like the idea that Charlie called daddy for something that she thought mysterious, powerful Alastor couldn't handle." He distracts a lot with obviously-goading comments about practically being Charlie's dad in his duet with Lucifer, but underneath that he puts a lot of emphasis on the work he's done for the hotel and the fact that he's been supporting Charlie and the hotel from the start, so why the fuck is this deadbeat asshole suddenly turning up?!
Tl;dr: Charlie missed her insight roll on Alastor's personal investments and he's sooooo offended - and taking it out on Lucifer!
I think one of my favorite things about both Lucifer and Alastor is that they both sooo obviously belong in the Pride Ring, hahaha.

"high school"
⫭◦⨝◦⫬
doa + hunting dogs {high school AU! hcs}
warnings: none!! just keep in mind this isn't an xreader!!
decay of angels
nikolai is, without question, the class clown, and head of the drama club
the teachers HATE him
he asks waaaaaay too many questions, and all the time, too
and they're so random???
they'll be in the middle of a test and he'll ask the teacher "how's your marriage doing right now? how's your partner, are they doing well?"
lowkey gets kicked out of the class daily
now spends most of his time playing cards with the secretary in the office
bram sometimes gets sent there as well, just because he's in the mood to take a nap
however, he doesn't really say that, he'll make up some kind of excuse like "oh it's my medical condition, I have limited energy" because he's paraplegic, even if it's bs
he's also that one edgy kid who sits in the back of the class discussing the end of the world
he??speak??so??oddly??
"death cometh for thou," like dude okay no need to talk like that???
the only person who actually understands what he says is fyodor, the reigning chess champ in the school
he's also very tired all the time, but he doesn't sleep, he'll just answer a few questions here and there if he's forced to, just to shut up the teacher
does the absolute bare minimum effort to pass class because he thinks it's all useless
"you have great potential, and I'm sure you understand all the material, fyodor, so with just a bit of effort-"
"thank you for the advice."
gets up and leaves 💀
fukuchi is the gym teacher that yells all the time and tells students to do pushups just because he feels like their face is mocking him
everyone either loves his class or dreads it
nikolai is fine, he's not all that athletic but he can run pretty decently and, worst case scenario, he just needs to bug the teacher and get sent to the office again to complete his game of poker with the secretary
fyodor hates gym class
with a burning passion
I CAN'T EVEN ENVISION HIS STICK-LEGS RUNNING PROPERLY SKJGKSJFG
hides under any large object and waits it out
bram is in a wheelchair so he just smugly looks at coach like "haha sucker!", only to be given dumbbells and told to do upper body workouts
now, fyodor and bram are hide-from-gym-class buddies
sigma is in preschool
yk since he's like 3 years old-
CHUBBY CHEEKS
he's so precious unlike all the other toddlers, but he does cry a lot
A LOT
LIKE WAY TOO MUCH
"sigma, you have to share your blocks with our friends, okay?"
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
the caretakers still love him tho
BABY SIGMA BABY SIGMA BABY SIGMA BABY SIGMA
hunting dogs
jouno and tecchou are the upperclassmen, which is surprising given how many braincells they share between them
jouno is hands down the pretty popular jock on campus and all the girls FALL TO THEIR KNEES
he does get in trouble every once in a while for bullying people or threatening them, but he has practically seduced the principal at this point, so it's no biggie
tecchou is that one kid who raises their hand in class and gets everything wrong
he's great in gym class, though, seeing as he likes to work out in his spare time
some girls try to approach him while he's doing his own thing and staring at the ground but he's like "wait."
"...wait? for what?"
"the ants"
"...the ants???"
"you were about to step on them."
girls have now stopped trying to approach him
tachihara is the Bad Boy™ with Family Issues™ and Inferiority Complex™
he gets in trouble A LOT
unlike Nikolai, it isn't for harmless questions or disturbing the class, it's for beating up someone else and egging someone's locker and placing a pin on the teacher's chair and-
needless to say, the teachers hate him with a burning passion
he's taking teruko as his apprentice in chaos, given she'd be around two year younger than him
she doesn't get in trouble bc (assuming this is a different school and everything) the gym coach fukuchi defends her in front of the school staff ALL THE TIME since she's his favorite student
she's surprisingly good at most subjects, except...
m a t h
she screams and throws a full-on tantrum by tossing her math book outside the window then setting it on fire because this girl CANNOT survive variables and constants and graphs and parabolas
fly high, math notebook 😞✊🕊

Soft Jingo Raichi is still kinda hard...
Pro!Jingo Raichi x reader
Jingo Raichi is gonna treat people any old way he wants. Ain’t bout to be no arguments and talkback about it, m’kay? Except… sometimes.
He might have been more popular if he weren’t so cutthroat.
Like dang bro, you don’t have to be so hardcore all the time.
But to tell him that… Raichi’s lip just curls in disgust.
Cuz what’s he s’posed to do, play nice? Like Isagi? Huh? Like a little punk?
He’ll throw down with anybody in a battle of wills, no problem. They’re ultimately opponents after all, and it’s his job to crush all opponents.
But...
You’re not some scrub in his way.
You’re his woman.
The one he watches action/adventure movies with.
The one he can count on to work out with him and cheer him on.
The one he daydreams about when he thinks his teammates don’t notice.
The one he buys everything for, all the time, even though he complains loudly about it. (But at the same time won’t ever let you pay for anything soooo.... 🙄)
The only feet he’ll ever rub (and occasionally chomp on).
The only one he trusts to see his insecurities and share his pain with.
The one he makes sure is on the inner side of the sidewalk.
----------
Now, does he always succumb to his inner lover boy?
Haha, of course not!
Stubborn ass, that’s why you can’t stand him sometimes.
He’s noisy.
He’s crude.
He holds grudges.
But he tries to make it up to you.
Though that doesn’t stop him from manhandling you sometimes.
Grabbing your ankles and yanking you down to the foot of the bed when he gets done working out so you can give him a kiss.
“Jin! Ugh, mooOoovE!” You kick you legs to no avail. “Let go!”
“I ain’t letting go of nothing.” He’d stare at your mouth greedily, nails digging into your hips so you can’t escape his pungent, sweaty odor. “Gimme a kiss.”
“Not until you shower, have you smelled yourself?!”
Wrestling with you over the remote.
Smacking your butt so hard it stings every time he passes by you in the house. Don’t even think about trying to run and avoid it, he will enjoy every moment of chasing you down.
Wrestling with you over your phone. “Who’s got you giggling over there?! I’ll kick his ass!”
Pulling you down into his lap by your arm when you walk by and locking you in place with an iron grip that’ll only tighten if you struggle.
“Gimme a kiss first.”
Snatching you up against him and crushing you into his chest until you can’t breathe when he’s missed you.
“You think I won’t kiss you right now in front of all these people?” He really likes kissing you.
Like, why can’t he be more delicate??
But if he goes too far and hurts you, you bet you can let him know right then and there and he’ll cut it out. All that high intensity pain he likes to dish out is for the riffraff, not you.
----------
He can’t wrap his head around it but he can’t seem to pry himself from around your little finger.
He swears he’s not a simp, but everything about you has the potential to turn this man’s defenses into Swiss cheese.
Your intensity that grows and boils almost as hot as his when the two of you end up in a screaming match. He’ll yell all he wants but he would never put his hands on you. And when it’s over and Ringo’s feeling guilty and missing you, he can’t help but replay how fired up you were… and how hot it was.
When you’re annoyed, how your cheeks puff out, and he can poke them and make a little farting noise.
When you praise him for anything at all. It’s his egotist nutrition.
The way your eyes seem to blaze when the sunlight shines on them just right.
Your boobs. No matter what size they are, they’re his favorite. They’re his nuzzle buddies, and probably the safest area for you cuz he’s so gentle and purposeful with them. But he sometimes drools on em if he’s asleep. 🫤
The comforting scent of you that seems to linger everywhere in the house.
The way you scoot up and hug him from behind in the early morning when he sits up, pressing kisses down his neck and bare back as you encourage him to do his best at practice.
He hates how easily his body dissolves under your affection, but will bask in all its tingly glory anyway.
He knows he lets you get off easy with stuff he wouldn’t tolerate in anyone else.
And he spoils you rotten and then complains about it only to spoil you some more. 🤦🏽♀️
He won’t admit he’s getting soft, but he just…
Can’t go savage on you like he does everyone else. Ain’t bout to be no arguments and talkback about it.

Ducky to Have You
Charlie discovers her Dad's rubber duck collection and is horrified; wholesomeness ensues.
Charlie hadn't been back to her dad's house in years...
Ever since she started the Hotel project, she had simply been too busy to ever check on him.
And... she was regretting it.
Charlie was aghast at the absolute STATE of this place.
Rubber. ducks. EVERYWHERE.
Piles and piles of the little rubber bird bois... in every drawer, on every surface, in every variety.
Charlie tip-toed around the hoard of billed buddies until she finally saw him-- Lucifer. Sitting at his work table... in the middle of painting the eyes on ANOTHER duck.
"Dad?!"
Lucifer nearly jumped out of his skin as he turned to face her, "CHARLIE?!"
"Whpghdl- wh- whatare you doinghere?!"
Lucifer stumbled on his words, arms flailing as panic flashed across his face.
"To help you move into the new hotel?!" Charlie replied with exasperation, "Remember? We talked about it yesterday!"
Lucifer could barely hear her over the sound of his internal screaming, "Haha-- rightrightright..."
His eyes darted across the room, 'Nonononono how could I forget?! How could I let her see this-?! DAMNIT DEPRESSION...!'
Lucifer 'nochalantly' grabbed his cane and started backing away towards the door, "W-well I'll just go and start packing then--"
But Charlie grabbed the end of the staff,
"Dad!"
Lucifer stopped, looking at her like a pet that had just been caught chewing on something they shouldn't.
Charlie had been trying to think of a nicer way of putting it, but she couldn't--
"You've been LIVING like this?!!"
"I- uh--"
Lucifer pulled his cane away, "Like what?" he laughed nervously.
Charlie deadpanned,
"The ducks, dad."
"Haha? Whaaat?" Lucifer began sweeping a particularly large rubber duck under a rug, "Th-these?"
Charlie frowned with complete seriousness,
"Mom told me you make rubber ducks when you're stressed..."
Lucifer's heart sank deeper into his stomach,
"S-she did, did she?"
Charlie's chest ached as she fully processed what was happening... she choked up,
"If you've been having such a hard time, why didn't you say anything?!"
'Because of this exact thing happening...' Lucifer thought as he saw Charlie's face, 'A father isn't supposed to make his daughter worry like this...'
He tried his best to hide his guilt with the usual bravado, "Oh Charlie, don't worry so much! I'm the KING of HELL! I don't have hard times! Haha--"
Charlie wasn't having it, though.
She crossed her arms, shooting him a serious look.
Lucifer sighed, accepting defeat.
He pulled the brim of his tophat over his face in shame, "I'm sorry..."
Charlie didn't fully understand how her dad's mind worked, but ever since their heart-to-heart before the Heaven meeting, she had a general idea of his inner struggles.
She didn't know what to say at the moment, so... she put a hand on his shoulder, and smiled consolingly.
Lucifer still felt awful, but he calmed down a bit... it didn't seem like Charlie was going to judge him harshly for this.
The two came to a silent truce... and continued on to the matter at hand. Packing.
They proceeded to dig through the rubber ducky piles for Lucifer's belongings...
"I know you like ducks, but..." Charlie finally spoke up as she fished out a sun hat, "Isn't this... a bit much...?"
"Huh? Oh. Yeah, I just... It started because... Well, I wanted to make the perfect wittle ducky." Lucifer explained, taking the hat and putting it in a suitcase, "Something that would make you smile... something as special to you..."
He smiled warmly at her, "...As you are to me."
Charlie was genuinely touched, "Aww... dad..."
For so long she had assumed he didn't care about her, but more and more she was realizing just how much he did.
Lucifer took the mood back down as he looked at the floor, dejected, "...but none of them were ever good enough."
He squeaked one of the duckies anxiously, "I kept iterating, but no matter what I tried-- I..." He bit his lip, unable to admit those last words as he smacked the duck into the floor, "...anyway, eventually it just became a nervous habit."
Charlie frowned, "Dad..."
The two averted their gazes from each other, continuing to pick through the ducky hordes...
Then...
Charlie saw something that made her smile.
Along with the pair of shoes she was looking for, Charlie picks up one of the ducks.
"Hey Dad..."
"Yeah?"
"You don't have to worry about making any more ducks for me."
"Huh?"
"You already made a perfect one."
Lucifer was completely taken aback, tripping over a duck pile as he turned to face her, "I have? How? Where??!"
Charlie walked over to her father, took his hands... and deposited in them the rubber ducky.
Oh. Lucifer remembers this one.
The white color, the multiple wings, the little apple tophat... this particular rubber ducky had been crafted in his own image.
It wasn't magical, it didn't spit fire, but...
Charlie grinned at him so sweetly it made his heart melt, "This one is my favorite."
Lucifer's eyes welled up.
Ever since Lilith left, he had been afraid. Afraid that he was a killjoy who would never recover from his fall. Afraid that he ruined everything he touched... including Charlie's life.
Lucifer was an angel of creation, a powerful King of Hell-- he could and would give Charlie anything she ever wanted.
But the only thing she wanted was the one thing he was afraid to give her...
her dad.
Holding his rubber ducky doppelgänger close to his chest, Lucifer smiled...
Charlie gasped in awe as, with a dramatic TAP of his cane, Lucifer sent out a wave of sorcerous magic-!
All the remaining rubber ducks began to glow... before EXPLODING into a beautiful swirl of sparkling golden dust!! It was like a gorgeous fireworks display, giving the whole house a warm shimmer.
It dissipated... leaving the house sparse and duck-less.
After getting over the spectacle, Charlie took a sharp breath--
"But Dad, all your work...!"
Lucifer reassured her, "It's all right, Charlie..."
He opened his hands... and returned to her his self-portrait ducky.
Putting a hand on her shoulder, he smiled, "I don't need them, anymore."
From that point on, Charlie kept this little ducky of her father on her bedside table.
And in Lucifer's room of the new-and-improved Hazbin Hotel-- he proudly displayed a rubber ducky replica of his beloved Charlie.

I guess I have a few questions and comments so bear with me lol.
1. I think you are stunning and I love your outfits!
2. Where do you get your shorts at? I always see them on different people her and I think they’re so cute!
3. I see that you said you’re a shy guy, but do you ever get out around Indy? If so what places do you like going to? I live in northern Indiana myself and am always curious about fun places full of free spirits there lol
4. You would make the best cuddle buddy ever! If you have any secrets on how you get your skin to look so perfect please do share.
Much Love to a good boy🥰
1. 💝💞 Thank you so much! I'm glad you like my cute outfits, you are so kind!
2. I get all my clothes from Amazon haha... I'm too nervous to buy feminine clothes in person so I just have them delivered to my place under a girl's name... 😖 It's always fun to shop for clothes though but it's hard to get the size right cuz the clothes weren't made for boys' bodies. I mostly fit into smalls or mediums.
3. I don't really go out too much haha... Just work and the gym mostly, I am pretty shy and get a bit anxious going to new places. I prefer nature and stuff so I like to go hiking or walk along the canal downtown. My friends are good about inviting me to stuff though, and I can definitely reccommend Massachusetts avenue for some cool shops and good food! Bottleworks is fun too, lots of food and games and a cool movie theatre! But most days I like to stay in and draw or play video games. <3
4. Thank you so much! I should at some point make a post dedicated to skincare and keeping your body smooth because like most boys I was doing it wrong for a long time. My legs are extremely sensitive and get razor bumps very easily, so I have to be very very careful when I shave them. Basically, you should buy high quality razors and replace the blades every two weeks, and use ultra sensitive shaving cream if you can. Using hair removal cream is a great alternative too! Much easier than shaving, but not for everyone's skin. I used Nair before, but that DESTROYED my skin it was so red and itchy for a week! I recently started using Veet on my legs and have had no issues at all with it! I'm gonna keep trying it and if it keeps working well l'll probably use that as my go-to method for hair removal. Of course, exfoliating and moisturizing your skin is also 100% essential. I use an exfoliating cream and scrubber once or twice a week, and I put lotion on my skin after almost every shower, I like the shea butter stuff from bath and body works, it smells great and keeps skin moisturized for a long time!
💝 Thank you for your questions and kind words, I hope this helped!

Countless! How did you find the episode!? I'd love to hear your thoughts and feelings on it!!!
Heya baba! the close-swift-foster-freeman etc etc family is one of my favorites so the episode got me pretty good
I enjoyed the ep, glad to get more close-ups (haha) on the families and how Taylor and Scary reacted etc
Scary being the one with Terry to say... "hey, its okay,"
and Taylor on the other side, "No, dad, that wasn't okay."
Scary being grateful that Terry chose to be around and Taylor sad about how his dad chose not to be. I relate to the time machine line, my parents both worked a lot when I was growing up as I've mentioned before so they couldn't make it to performances etc much.
Anyways, the ep was awesome, bittersweet, sad....Glenn was particularly frustrating but I loved him seeing himself in that memory and realizing that he doesn't want to be that way. That he regrets it and yeah there's no changing the past but there is the future, life continues etc. plenty other places to go outside of disney land is all I'm saying. Also asking his son directly about whether he should keep fighting Terry or not was nice.
Also very puzzled about the Hermie fact this ep and wish there was a memory from Jodie... the morse code moment was good and glenn completely missing it was kinda hm (disappointed but not that surprised face). I guess in the end having them be safe was the less interesting option haha. Want Normal and Taylor talk things out more but the death match part makes me anxious. Yes Normal is a healer but the crew play fast and loose on what spells he (and Link) can use at any given moment
"Taylor has fear in his eyes" or whatever the exact words were about the fbi forcing them to fight. yeah me too buddy, me too. Glad Normal was still in the costume and didn't poof somewhere, the pretending that he wasn't crying part aw, I want to give the teens hugs :[
Its great that it was clarified that Nicky does remember the close timeline in general though (at least somewhat). And Scary willing hugging Terry and Ron was sweet
Was thinking they'd jump directly into Scary's memory too but her talking about how much it meant to her was still great
That's all my thoughts (that I can put into words), squeezing Glenn like a squeaky toy while I continue to think of this ep for the rest of the night

(asking this anon because I’m a bit nervous lol)
Ok so sorry if this has been asked before or if you’ve already explained it but would you be able to explain exactly I guess the appeal of vore? This is coming from a place of genuine curiosity because I think it’s really interesting, and also the different types of it too? I’ve seen a lot of shortened words (like pred, etc) and was curious about those as well :0
P.S. I love your artstyle!!! It’s so cottagecore and cozy, you seem like a lovely person :)
No worries buddy! I’ve got anon for a reason haha so no shame in doing what you’re comfortable with :)
I’ve talked about this a bit before, but I genuinely don’t mind talking about it again! It’s kinda fun to think about actually.
I think the appeal is different for a lot of people, but for me, I mostly see it as a fascinating story trope to mess with. It adds this whole other level of character dynamic and such to mess with that I’m not sure you could really get otherwise you know? You can get extra layers of friendship shenanigans, very sweet romantic interactions, up the stakes for fights between villains and heroes, and other things like that. I think that the threat or option of being eaten, wether by friend or enemy, opens up this whole other side of characters you wouldn’t get to see normally. Just how much do they trust their friends? Would they really be so confident in the face of that sort of danger? How much will someone put themself through just to protect a friend inside of them? Stuff like that.
It’s also fun from a world building perspective! Especially if we’re talking sci-fi or fantasy, since both genres deal with loads of different species and weird tech/magic, and I personally find it hard to believe something along these lines wouldn’t exist as a cultural practice or smugglers’ trick you know? It just adds a cool layer to the world and gives even more options when fleshing out weird otherworldly feeling concepts and I love it.
I also see it as probably one of the most...oh how do I say this without sounding weird...intimate forms of connection that can be formed platonically? Personally, as someone who is both aromantic and asexual, I am not really interested in stuff outside friendship (though vore can absolutely be used in romantic and other situations and I like it a lot in romantic scenarios), but I still very much enjoy the concept of being incredibly close to a friend, so I guess that might have fused with my love of anatomy and formed my current interest in vore. I think it’s a very interesting to think about expressing affection in a “hey man I love you so much I want to put you inside my own being” kind of way. I’m also fairly touch starved in general but at the same time am not a fan of being touched if that makes sense, so the thought of laying inside of someone I trust, completely surrounded by them without feeling like I’m being poked or prodded is very appealing. Plus I don’t know, I think there’s something very beautiful about the body in general. All these internal systems working overtime to keep us alive that we never even get to see... There’s a whole other world inside of each and every person, unique and yet the same, and oh so beautiful. A wonderful machine painstakingly crafted by a master artist piece by delicate piece.
I think this little quote from an essay I wrote on what it means to me to be an artist describes my feelings on the matter the best.
“Most of what I reflect in my art is a really specific idea of beauty I’ve been toying with for years that has to do with hidden aspects of nature not often really looked at or paid attention too. Then I take those overlooked aspects and put my own strong personal emotions into what I create to make something new and unique. I also enjoy exploring interpersonal relationships between unique and complicated characters in my art. “
Okay now on to the less philosophical stuff haha! You asked about shortened words and shared terms and stuff so I’ll do my best to explain a few of the most common ones
Pred is short for predator, and refers to the person doing the eating
Prey is...well, the person being eaten lol
(Full disclosure, I’m not a huge fan of the terms pred and prey, but we don’t really have better words for said roles at the moment either so 🤷🏻)
Soft vore means there’s no biting involved, but the prey could still be killed via digestion
Safe vore means the prey isn’t killed, though there could still be some mild injury
Hard vore includes things like biting and is usually fairly gory
Fatal vore is, well, fatal for the prey. They don’t make it out
G/t vore stands for giant/tiny vore and refers to scenarios with an extreme size difference, like a fairy and a human or human and giant
Half/similar sized vore would be vore between a human and say...another person anywhere from one to three feet. So the prey is a fourth to half the size of the pred
Same size vore is vore between two characters of roughly the same size, though it might be hard to tell with creatures like nagas and such since they’re pretty long
I hope all of these answered your questions, and if you want to know more or even just chat you’re more than welcome to send as many asks as you like! I genuinely don’t mind and am always happy to explain anything you have questions about. Also, I am so flattered you like my art! As an aspiring illustrator that really does mean a lot haha.
Thank you so much for the ask and have a good day/night! :)

Do you think about how RWBY is very abstinent from victimising it's male cast in any serious way? In V4 Blake saves Sun, but it's presented as funny (haha girl carrying guy haha), Ruby unintentionally saves Jaune before passing out in V5, every time Pyrrha saves Jaune it's either intentionally (Forest in V1) or evocatively humorous (shoving Jaune into a locker). 1/3
I think that feeling stems from a combination of three things:
1. There are, on the whole, a lot more women in RWBY than men, and therefore there are more opportunities for the girls to go through such challenges. This seems a particularly important thing to keep in mind given that our title team is all girls and Writing 101 dictates that the protagonists undergo the most trials, development, and growth. Arcs like Yang losing her arm are expected given that she's a character whose name/color association helps make up the acronym of our show and spending too much time with the B Team (whether that's with a guy like Jaune or a girl like Nora) is one of the big criticisms we've encountered over the years. RWBY is meant to be the story of four girls and their primarily women-led allies/antagonists and though RWBY is undoubtedly failing to achieve that in many respects, the foundation is still in place, leading to an excess of women overcoming such challenges (or not, given the deaths we've had). More women characters = more opportunities in general = more chances for those opportunities to be taken seriously.
2. I think it's significant that Jaune and Sun both function as comic relief. Jaune a little more-so than Sun, but both of them were introduced in a lighthearted manner (Vomit Boy/fly-by wink), both are characterized as being somewhat inept (Jaune in combat/Sun with social situations), and they each work to emotionally uplift their prospective love interests (Pyrrha/Blake). I'd even include Neptune in this trend, given his status as suave funny guy; Sun's buddy who shares most core personality traits except he's the "cooler" of the two. So you wind up with moments like his hydrophobia being treated as a gag not necessarily because RWBY believes that topic is automatically humorous, or because men's suffering is humorous, but because Neptune is meant to be humorous. Also, it's notable that many such gags (not all, but many) exist during a time in RWBY's run when most Serious Subjects were given a lighthearted twist because that's just the kind of show it was. To me, it feels less like the men of RWBY never suffer serious victim-hood (more on that in a sec) and more that these specific men don't because they're meant to make the audience and/or the other characters laugh a lot of the time. And, excluding Neptune, they also happen to be two of the more prominent male characters in the show, producing a skewed idea of how "all" the men's stories go. Out of our primary (second gen) cast we've got six women and four men: Jaune, Sun, Oscar (who you've already mentioned as an exception)... and Ren, who I'd argue does function as a victim for much of Volume 4. It's just that his victim-hood is primarily emotional and tied to his past, rather than characterized through a physical injury he's suffering in the present. Yang is dealing with the current loss of her arm; Ren is dealing with the past loss of his father and village.
3. Finally, #3 is the most important point imo. I'd argue that RWBY has NUMEROUS moments of men functioning as serious victims... but, uh, the show doesn't recognize it as serious victim-hood. It exists! But RWBY isn't interested in acknowledging that in a way that tugs at the audience's heart-strings. Some notable (and not at all original) examples include:
The reveal that Adam has a SDC brand on his face. I'll reiterate here that any non-show canon explanations about it being an accident/the result of an unrelated fight don't erase the horrifying implications here. Adam has kept his face covered since the Black trailer and then we finally see that he's branded by the racist family he's been fighting against. That's a LOT that the story never bothers to unpack.
The characterization of Ozpin as a domestic abuse victim and (though I couldn't easily snag a picture from google) his visceral death at Salem's hands via magical fire.
Ozpin (and Oscar) reliving their trauma and then being attacked physically and emotionally by their allies.
Oscar (and Ozpin) suffering through Salem's torture, which includes the most 'realistic' injuries we've seen in RWBY to date. When a show usually avoids blood entirely, or depicts it in a stylized manner (Yang's arm + Clover's death), showing a bruised, cut, and burned character hits a lot harder by default, especially when they're a kid.
Ironwood sacrificing his arm to take out Watts (which in many respects is a direct parallel to Yang's loss).
Ironwood's emotional struggle as he grapples with secrets, betrayals, the whole shebang.
Qrow's drinking changing from a comedic character quirk to a debilitating addiction that, in time, begins to endanger him and others.
Qrow getting poisoned in his fight against Tyrian and spending the next couple of episodes totally out of commission, very nearly dying.
Whitley functioning as a third abuse victim of Jacques'/neglected child of Willow's.
The common thread among most of these examples is that a) they're adults (or, in Oscar's case, a kid who is seen as an adult via an unexplained merge + the characters' belief that Ozpin may secretly be in control) and thus the show is inclined to shrug off their suffering in a way it's not for the kids. The exception here is obviously Whitley, but given that he's such a minor character compared to the others, he's kind of following his own set of rules. This "kids rule, adults drool" approach is admittedly only a problem in the later volumes, but given that it's only in the later volumes that the show grew serious enough to tackle any nuanced examination of victim-hood... yeah. By the time Qrow's drinking is treated seriously, for example, Qrow is also characterized as an outdated, uninspired remnant (ha) of the past whose opinion must be violently rejected. The show isn't interested in sympathetically unpacking his struggles, only in giving Ruby a reason to fully step into the role as leader of the group. If you were to show me any of these screenshots on their own, devoid of context, I would say that this is ABSOLUTELY a show treating such suffering seriously, because the animation/cinematography is already doing that work. However, we know that RWBY's plot and characterization don't follow up on that emotion. It's like the audience gets to see one version of events (the clearly traumatized men often begging for help) whereas the characters act as if they're seeing something entirely different (manipulative road blocks who must be ignored/threatened/defeated) and in the end, imagery can't stand up to Ruby's speeches about the supposed truth of a situation, or the inevitable demise/"redemption" of a character. We see the suffering, but the show doesn't acknowledge it in the same way it does for the women.
Additionally, b) All these characters were, at one point in time and to various extents, positioned as antagonists, even outright villains. Ozpin's a manipulative liar. Oscar's just a sham; Ozpin's puppet. Qrow is a dangerous pessimist trying to prevent their Totally Awesome Theft Plan. Adam morphed into a stalker (more personal and, therefore, more reviled than a freedom fighter willing to use lethal force) out to kill Blake and Yang for, it's implied, daring to love each other. Ironwood, of course, goes off the deep end and starts shooting people. This is where I think that yeah, there is a significant difference in how RWBY approaches the men in the story vs. the women, one that has nothing to do with RWBY's past tone, characters' roles in the story (comic relief), or what the women to men ratio is overall. There's something to be said for a story not approaching an antagonist's victimization in the same way it does a heroes' -- that's to be expected in most stories -- but as you point out, anon, RWBY wants us to sit with Cinder's torture and cheer at her escape. It wants us to read very deeply into a single line of Emerald's so that when the heroes accept her into their ranks in under an hour, we can justify that based on a tiny moment from five Volumes ago. The show even wants us to question if the woman hell-bent on destroying the entire world is really the one at fault here. Surely the presumed male Gods are truly responsible for every one of her choices. Or perhaps it's the husband who just didn't love her enough...
To be clear, I do think these are all legitimate questions/arguments (my slight, sarcastic tone aside). It's 100% understandable -- expected, even -- for the audience to feel for a horrifically abused teen, a young woman who got in too deep, and another whose unimaginable, divine punishment in no way fits her mortal mistakes. However, the point here is not to ask, "Is it okay to sympathize with villains?" but rather to ask, "Does RWBY encourage us to sympathize with villains and the men who function as flawed heroes?" And the answer is a resounding "No." The sympathy exists for viewers like me who prefer to read RWBY based on what's actually on screen, not how the narrative tries to direct my emotions, but that's not the same as the story drawing attention to those hardships, letting the characters work through them, and giving them at least equal weight as those villains who "don't deserve" the sympathy in the first place. Ren is screamed at and dismissed for his doubts. Qrow is denied emotional access to the group until he (magically) fixes his addiction. Ozpin's abuse goes unacknowledged, despite two characters having similar experiences. The origin of Adam's brand remains a mystery because the show thought it more important to kill him off than unpack that. Oscar's torture exists as a way to shock the audience, not a trauma he must spend time working through. The show spends Volumes encouraging us to celebrate Ozpin's horrific treatment post-secrets. The idea that Weiss threatening her brother and that he's an equal victim of abuse as her and Winter isn't even on the show's radar. These things simply happen to the men in RWBY and often when critics say, "Hey, that was pretty fucked up. Why aren't we unpacking that and/or acknowledging how badly our other heroes handled that situation? Why aren't the flawed, heroic men given the same, or even more sympathy than the villainous women?" the response from show and fellow fans alike is to shut that interpretation down because it's not an interpretation RWBY prizes.
These are not the victims you're looking for.

I watched the last two episodes (now I can finally remove the season 2 tag from my blocklist) and I don't really know how to feel about it...
I really loved the breakfast in bed and Izzy's comment about being docked in the second to last episode – and Olu's date!, but apart from that... Those fucking idiots (how Stede thought about setting the guy on fire was pretty genius though)
But the last episode made up for all of it again!
The dramatics and Ed finding the bottle letter!! And how they ran towards eachother and then totally forgot about the fight taking place right next to them 😅
And Izzy's speech was so so great!!!
But especially the togetherness 🥰
And the marriage/enmatement(?)! So cute!
Also The Swede really looked great! How did they do that?!
Ooh and I'm pretty sure it was seagull Button's visiting Izzy in the hidden(?) scene 🥹
I hope your weekend is/was great!
Awww I'm glad you were able to watch the rest!!!
Yeah, I will be honest in that episode 7 really isn't my favourite, there were a lot of things that didn't quite work for me about it 😅 (I did love the crew making $ off Stede's fame though, that was hilarious)
But definitely agree that episode 8 was great. There was some stuff I would've liked to see (any Jim/Olu conversation, etc, but we don't need a list of my grievances XD) but overall it did a decent job of wrapping the season up!
LMAO the lovely letter scene and Ed/Stede running to each other are my absolute fav, but Zheng fighting for her life and screaming "guys??" while they make out takes the cake, it's absolutely hilarious. Probably one of my favourite scenes in the season haha.
I'm glad you loved all of those parts, they were all amazing. Izzy's speech really was fantastic, and the marriage was so good and so them. Pete putting his arms in the air? Amazing. Also LMAO the Swede being in his hot boy summer phase is never not funny to me, he does look amazing!! And heck yes Buttons seagull!!
Anyway - I hope you enjoyed the season overall, and I'm glad that you got to watch it 🥰 Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, I loved hearing them!!! I hope you enjoy all the fic and fanart now <3
Have a wonderful day buddy!!

Tid-Bit Tuesday!
I was tagged by @dwead-piwate-meggers!!
Tagging @friendlyfaded 💙
This is… not a tid-bit. This is kind of a lot. I hope that’s okay, haha. I’m sorry it’s so late in the day ;-;
Here’s another excerpt from the Imperium Huxley fic I’ve been working on! Warning for language, but that’s about it, I think.
What Huxley notices immediately afterward, though, is the unempowered human beside him. The same one as before. Prince Damien keeps them close to him the entire time, even as he says all the words and makes all the oaths that don’t actually mean a single goddamn thing. He keeps their hand secure, caught in his own throughout the ceremony.
Who are they? With an empire built entirely on the glory of the empowered, what kind of prince would—
He watches with furrowed brows as the circlet is removed from the almost-king’s head, only to be replaced with a crown made up of golden leaves: gleaming, tiny blades. Razor-sharp. Made for splitting skin. And bloodletting.
It looks like the Imperium has a ruler once more.
King-Imperial Damien makes a grand speech. It’s pretty, each word surely chosen with care as he promises nothing but bringing more power to his empire—his people. As if they’ll ever see a single drop of it. Huxley chews in his bottom lip and has to admit that his words are persuasive, despite being utter bullshit. The King-Imperial is good at what he does, and much of the duties of royalty happen to include lying.
See, there’s that begrudging respect. Even if the mystery unempowered human, whose hold King-Imperial Damien only let go of to be crowned, is burning a hole in him. It just doesn’t make sense.
Huxley doesn’t pretend to be some sort of brilliant genius, but even he can see that having them there can’t be a good idea. Whatever their purpose—and they must have one, because why else would they be standing there—it must be important. Are they an advisor? But no, that doesn’t make sense either. Why would an advisor be unempowered?
It isn't until the King-Imperial nears the end of his speech that he decides to finally let the mystery drop. He looks behind him to hold his hand out and gestures for them to step forward. The human does, after a second of hesitation. They place their hand in his own.
“All of these I promise to do, for the people my mother loved so dearly, whom she taught me to love. We are going to do incredible things—for the glory of the Imperium,” he says. “Under my rule, her work—my mother’s work—will not go to waste. With my partner at my side, the Consort to the King-Imperial, I assure you there is nothing I cannot do for this empire.”
There’s applause, and cheer, and music coming from somewhere out of shot of the camera, and then that’s it. It’s over. People who managed to find seats rise from them to stretch and talk almost themselves, and Huxley sees it as a job completed, so he slips out the door.
Consort to the King-Imperial.
Really. That’s it? That’s why the King-Imperial is keeping an unempowered human around like a dog on a leash? God, they’re basically a fuck buddy. Dripping in jewels and silks perhaps, but when you get down to it, when you trim the fat and cut down to the bone—that’s all they are. Someone to keep the royal bed warm when he’s away.
It’s a miracle that the ground doesn’t quiver underfoot with each step Huxley takes. Disgust curdles in his stomach, like milk left out in the sun. Between Moore and his Freelancer and their parasitic incubus, and now this…
The late Queen-Imperial is surely rolling in her extravagant grave. Her empire is doomed to fall apart at the seams—and at the hand of her own son, no less.

yknow what i think would help a lot with modernizing phineas and ferb and getting rid of some of its more harmful aspects? swapping baljeet and isabella's roles as brains and heart in the five man band. isabella as brains, baljeet as heart
isabella is already VERY capable and a natural leader with a massive patchwork (haha wordplay) of skills and talents. i think her being the role of that guy you can ask about quantum physics and get an answer that is not only accurate but easy to understand suits her perfectly. i think her industrious, goal-oriented nature would make her bookish and more interested in destinations than the journey, getting caught up in work and forgetting to have fun and really indulge in the joy of learning these new things. which means that phineas gets to be a foil for her, which would strengthen the concept of her having a crush on him imo
in the show proper, isabella is always able to help phineas with whatever he asks. building, gathering resources, organizing... but she never really got to be a project leader, just the help. i think it would be fun to have HER get a big idea or two, or need help with a few patches or something, and then phineas gets to offer HIS help while she leads. that can make their friendship feel a lot less misogynistic/archaic. just have dedicated time where phineas goes out of his way to help isabella out instead of the other way around, and have isabella flex those leadership muscles
i think baljeet would really work as the heart because he managed to befriend the gruffest, meanest dude in their grade. i say scrap the whole bully concept because it's annoying and obtuse. buford is raised by a single mom in a lower income household, and he acts tough to protect his squishy center, but all he wants to do is take care of his fish in peace and be left alone. nobody can threaten him if he threatens them first! baljeet sees right through him, though. and instead of being pushed away, he sees that buford is lonely, and ends up being his only friend for a while until the beginning of That One Summer that pnf takes place in (buford joined the friendgroup early on in the actual show, not right away! same as baljeet)
baljeet can only be kind to others because he has a resilient core, and buford is only so buford because of his squishy center, and i think that would be a way more fun/cute buddy dynamic than "bully and nerd". plus, baljeet being the heart bringing everyone together means that he, buford, and isabella have reason to hang out without phineas and ferb! in the original show, the friendgroup doesn't feel super cohesive because isabella thinks of buford and baljeet as part of "the entourage" and doesn't hang out with them at all when pnf disappear from the universe in the series finale. i think it would work a lot better if baljeet was also part of what got isabella AND buford AND phineas all together, and his encouragement could get isabella out of her house or fireside girl busywork and involved with more summer fun
baljeet is the Feelings Guy, but not in a derogatory way / a way that gets frequently lampshaded and/or shamed by the structure of the show (like how guys "talking about their feelings" usually is regarded in swampyverse shows...). he's seen as a super tough enigma because of him existing around buford unscathed, and he IS very tough and strongwilled, but in a way that makes him friendly and kind, seeing the best in people like phineas does. he's strong enough to participate in the insane daily industrial builds that pnf make AND is bold enough to talk to strangers, stand up for himself and his friends, and scream into a microphone with eyeliner dripping down his face. when things get tense or non-communicationy, he's the one to break the tension and get people talking. a charismatic lad
i also imagine their roles being different in the second dimension! isabella is the brains of the resistance (like dr. baljeet in original pnf), staying in their headquarters planning, plotting, building, and organizing their huge child army. baljeet ran off with buford when they started getting too intense for the resistance - they're independent vigilantes going around helping whoever they see is stuck in a scrape, and they bust up normbots whenever they can. they split off because the organization of the resistance was getting too formal and cramping their style, keeping them from helping people THEIR way (the easily noticeable risky way that puts them in danger for the sake of others)
i dunno that's just my take. the fact that they're continuing pnf as it is with a lot of the same baggage it's been carrying for years has me worried. kids STILL watch pnf, and a lot of the stuff that's "outdated" is a Current Issue embedding itself into Current Children. MML still had misogyny and racism problems, and a transmisogynistic episode so bad that it was banned in the UK. i havent watched much of hamster and gretel because it bores me to tears, but still. if they keep the basic structure of pnf its gonna be the same old junk.
i've noticed that isabella in the more recent material (catu, the phineas and ferb effect) is more and more of a #girlboss two-dimensional combat fighty type whos very #independent #feminist, same energy as dot in the animaniacs reboot. the vibes are RANCID. RANCID I SAY
