#Shadow is just trying to stop them from being goofy

Beware the Fae King
Another quick Liar's Circus blurb! This one is about how Shadow Milk Cookie describes Elder Faerie Cookie to the Kids!
Enjoy!
“Are not!” Wizard Cookie snapped.
“Are too!” Came Gingerbrave’s well-thought-out reply.
Gingerbrave and Wizard Cookie had been arguing like this since they got back from their trip into town to get groceries. The trio were lounging in Gingerbrave’s tent, the boardgame they had been playing forgotten in favor of a petty argument. Strawberry Cookie had given up on trying to break them up and resigned herself to watching with a tired sigh.
She had been winning too…
“Hey, hey, hey! What’s going on over here, my Little Stars?” The Ringmaster floated over from who-knows-where, putting himself between the bickering friends.
“We’ll ask the Ringmaster about it, then!” Wizard Cookie said, not taking his eyes off of Gingerbrave, “He knows everything, which means he’ll know that I’m right!”
“Well I do know everything…” The Ringmaster said with a pleased chuckle, “But I must admit I am ever so very lost on what you two are fighting about! Mind filling me in, kids?”
When Wizard and Gingerbrave just kept glaring at each other, Strawberry decided to fill in the Ringmaster herself.
“It’s about faeries.” She said, failing to notice how the word made their mentor twitch.
“… Faeries?” His smile grew a bit strained, “Now wherever did you kiddos hear about… those?”
“A nice old lady in town told me a story about them!” Gingerbrave finally broke his staring contest with Wizard. “She said they might give us gifts if we’re nice to the forests! I was talking to Wizard about it but he says they’re not real!”
“They’re just rumor and superstition!” Wizard Cookie huffed, “Faerie Cookies are just something adults made up to trick kids into behaving! Tell him, Ringmaster!”
“They’re totally real and cool and nice!!!” Gingerbrave stomped his foot with a huff.
Both boys turned to the Ringmaster with expectant looks, wanting him to settle this argument once and for all.
Shadow Milk Cookie barely contained an amused chuckle at their adorably serious expressions. Why did kids always have to take such frivolous things so seriously? And why did their expressions just look so goofy?
The Ringmaster cleared his throat.
“Well…” He pressed his hands together as he thought about how to phrase this. “Yes, Faerie Cookies do exist.”
“HA!” Gingerbrave puffed out his chest, feeling victorious. Embarrassment colored Wizard Cookie’s cheeks as he glared at his friend from under his bangs.
“However, the myths of them being nice are wrong.” Added the Ringmaster.
“Whaaaat?” Gingerbrave wilted, disappointed that he might not be able to make a faerie friend.
Strawberry tugged on the Ringmaster’s sleeve, gaining his attention. She shuffled her feet as she asked, “Have you ever met a faerie, Ringmaster?”
He timed his hesitation before responding, “I have a bit of a history with them, yes… Though I must admit, I’m a rather biased party! After all… It’s hard to feel fond for one’s jailors.”
“HUH?!” The children gasped, taking the bait - hook, line, and sinker.
Shadow Milk Cookie turned his back to them to hide the small grin he could feel spreading across his face. He covered his mouth with his fist to sell the idea that he was slightly distraught.
“But didn’t you say it was the Witches who locked you up?!”
“You’re a really powerful cookie, how could a bunch of faeries keep YOU locked up?! How strong are they?!”
“But the story I heard said they were guardians of the forests!”
“Alright! Alright!” The Ringmaster turned back around, putting his hands up to stop the barrage of questions and exclamations, “I’ll answer all your questions… In the form of a story! And it’s about your favorite characters too!”
The children perked up in interest at that.
“The Five Great Heroes?!” Gingerbrave had stars in his eyes. They all loved the Ringmaster’s stories, but Gingerbrave seemed to have a special fondness for them.
“That’s right!” With a flourish, the kids were lifted off their feet and three cushions were brought over from Ginerbrave’s bed. They were gently seated as, with another wave of his hand, the Ringmaster summoned a small puppet theater before the trio. “But I must warn you, I’m afraid your favorite heroes don’t come out on top this time…”
Gingerbrave, who had practically been vibrating in his seat, paused. The other two children looked rather confused as well. The Five Great Heroes always won in the Ringmaster’s stories…
The Ringmaster vanished behind the puppet theater. The lights in the tent visibly dimmed, immersing the group’s focus on the little stage before them.
“Now… Where to begin…” The Ringmaster’s voice filled the entire tent. “Well… Can’t beat the classic opener! AHEM!”
Once upon a time…
There were Five great Cookies. Baked to be perfection incarnate! Great heroes who were so radiant, so glorious! They rebelled against their evil creators and began to forge a new future for the Cookies! One free of the tyranny of Witches!
Ah, but their greatness drew envy from many Cookies. But one Cookie’s jealously rose above all the others! He was known as…
The Faerie King!
A loyal servant of The Witches, he believed he had been baked to be the strongest in the world! Any Cookie who challenged him was dealt with, without mercy!
He stole the Life Powder from the Cookies foolish enough to give him their names…
He cursed the Cookies who wandered into the Faeriewood to wander lost forever…
Any who dare challenge him to battle? Was swiftly cut to pieces!
And should the Witches will it, he would kidnap small cookies into the night… To offer them to the Witches to EAT! Ah! How terrifying! I can barely look!
Oh, but he was the REAL fool! Yes! Such a fool indeed…
And yet, despite his foolishness, he was dangerously sneaky, oh, so sneaky!
“Great Witches! How do I defeat these foes so I may become the strongest Cookie in the world?” He asked his dark masters.
“Alas, there is no way you can best them in battle…” Replied the Witches, “However, we know a way to remove them from the world forever!”
And so their evil plan was put into action…
The Faerie King challenged the Five to a great battle! But just as it looked like he would loose…
WOOSH! BOOM!
Silver rained down from the skies! Chains wrapped around the Five like snakes! It was a trap!
The Five Great Heroes, their bodies reduced to crumbs, had their spirits sealed away inside a magical Silver Tree. What a tragedy!
And so the selfish, cruel, but ohh so so foolish king punished the Five Great Cookies according to his own whim!
“HA HA!” He laughed, “Now I will protect this tree and all who stand against me will be offered to the Witches!”
The Faerie King still protects the Silver Tree to this day. For he refuses to ever give up his title as the Strongest! And any Cookies who have tried to free the Heroes and bring about the end of the Witches? Wind up as crumbs!
He rules the forests with an iron fist! His faerie knights attack any wingless cookies they see! And if you’re alone and wander too close to the wood… You might just wind up never being seen again!
They’re tricky! They’re evil! They’re sneaky! They’re cruel! Yes, the fae are not to be trusted one itty-bitty bit! And you should never be foolish enough to meet their King!
So be wary of the forest, kids! And never come home late!
Lest you meet the Faerie King and wind up on a plate–!
“EEEK!” Strawberry Cookie’s scared cry startled Wizard Cookie and Gingerbrave, who replied with their own screams.
The three of them instinctually huddled together, seeking the safety they knew came with being close.
“I’m sorry, kiddos! I didn’t mean to scare you THAT badly!” A voice behind them cooed and suddenly they found themselves being wrapped in the Ringmaster’s arms.
On the inside, Shadow Milk Cookie thought their reactions were hilarious.
“Th-Th-That story isn’t REAL is it?” Strawberry asked, eyes already watering.
“I’m afraid it is, sweetheart.” Said the Ringmaster, “Elder Faerie Cookie is super-duper dangerous! And the last thing I want is for any of you to get cut down by his sword or offered up to the Witches!”
“Y-You just wanted to warn us…” Wizard summed up. His little body trembling like a leaf.
“After that story, I hope I never meet any faeries, ever!” Gingerbrave shook his head vehemently.
“If you do, you’ll have nothing to worry about!” The Ringmaster said with a sunny smile, “I’ll protect you! Alright? You can always rely on me!”
The kids cuddled closer to him. Though he was a spirit and lacked any warmth, they still felt safe in his arms.
Yes, they would definitely be able to rely on their Ringmaster to keep them safe…

Hear me out. I probably sound a lil goofy. BUT!
Alastor X Imp!Reader
Maybe alastor just likes their personality or maybe he ended up getting attached to the little thing for following him and being up to their no good impish behavior. Maybe he met the imp when he first got to hell and grew fond of them. However it happened, all we know is Alastor loves the little Imp just as much as the imp loves him. No one knows about it besides Alastor and the people of the hotel (and MAYBE a few people the imp couldn’t stop themselves from telling but how can they help it? They have a big yap box) But the people who do know find it rather shocking and confusing
Do it however you want, if you even want to do the request, i just want Alastor X and Imp reader.
Thank youuu! Mwah!
You met Alastor purely by accident. You were actually supposed to be stealing some supplies from Voxtech when you met.
He found you extremely interesting immediately. What was a little imp doing at a Voxtech warehouse? He knew why he was there, to cause chaos but you?
In the end you stole several prototypes, sold them to a rival company and Alastor destroyed the building and everything inside.
From then on you’d randomly find Alastor in your life. You would happen to see him in walks. He’d randomly save you in fight. What you didn’t know was he used his little shadows to spy on you just to see what you were doing.
It was never a spectacle which was odd for the demon but it was something. Eventually he invited you over for dinner.
It didn’t take long for things to develop from there.
He did not like you leaving the Pride ring. He couldn’t go with you. He couldn’t protect you if something went wrong. He had shadows that could keep eyes on you and tell him if you were in danger but they couldn’t extend past the Pride ring just like he couldn’t.
He didn’t get reports about everything you did. He didn’t know exactly what you were doing and he frankly didn’t care. He just wanted to know you were safe.
Alastor was not a touchy person or rather, did not like being touched but he constantly found himself twirling your tail. He actually found it rather cute when you curled it around him.
He would also run his hands along the ridges in your horns.
If you had any scars, he’d find it absolutely fascinating that they were white and if you’d permit him he’d do experiments to figure out to what severity a scar had to be in order to be replaced with white flesh.
The first person you hit introduced to was Niffty but that was purely because you happened to be there while she was cleaning.
Alastor, of course, knew she was there but simply didn’t bother to send you away because he was rather content with the conversations you were having.
You were confused when a one eyed woman ran up Alastor’s body and started demanding to know everything about you when you didn’t even know she was there.
Meeting Rosie was a special occasion. You were dressed in what Alastor deemed to be your best. He actually seemed as nervous as the radio demon got about introducing you. He really wanted the two of you to like each other.
Of course, the worrying was all for not because Rosie immediately welcomed you. She would ask if she could try some of your meat should you agree to Alastor’s experiments. Best not let it go to waste!
You met Husk when Alastor wanted to go out with you but didn’t want to draw attention.
His solution to this would be to send you in to the bar Husk was known to frequent the most and come in later under the guise of seeing his contracted soul only to be distracted by the fine company of the lovely imp who happened to be nearby.
Husk saw through the bullshit immediately but waited until you left and followed you out. He asked you if you knew what you had gotten yourself into but aside from that he didn’t pester.
Mimzy was. . . confused. Mimzy was the most confused. She asked Alastor in front of you if he was sure you were someone he actually knew and he hadn’t mistaken you for someone else.
Alastor assured her through gritted teeth he was very sure.
You met the hotel when Alastor invited you over casually to help him cook.
Charlie is ecstatic to meet you, very happy to meet Alastor’s friend but also is very quick to try to befriend someone else who was born in Hell. You can both share in some occasional confusion about things the sinners say but also befuddle them with shared experiences that come with living in Hell since birth.
Vaggie is very wary. You’re willingly hanging around Alastor? Sure, you seem okay but surely you can’t be if this is your choice of company.
Angel will try to get information on what Alastor’s like in bed.
Sir Pentious will start being wary of you but eventually warm up to you. He will be very careful when he interacts with you because he doesn’t want to offend you in even the smallest way and upset Alastor as a result.
All in all, you’re going to be protected by so many people even if you don’t need it.
And if anyone ever tries to insinuate that you’re too lowly for Alastor or he’s wasting his time with you, they will severely regret it.

Legit ANYTHING Corey related- im head over hEELS for that man rn
Im also a sucker for fluff ;)
Dating Corey Cunningham Would Be Like This:
A/N: Might as well start with the dating hcs 🙃 requests are open if you want more for this guy. Please keep in mind that I'm not comfortable writing smut yet though; I've noted that on my inbox page and pinned post, but I've been getting quite a few smutty asks 😅
🔪• Corey's been through a lot, and to find a person willing to give him a chance and treat him like a person who matters... I absolutely believe he'd turn into a soft yandere. He's head over heels in love, protective to the point of killing anyone who tries to hurt you or take you away from him, and obsessively infatuated. He lives for you, and he'd die for you, period.
🔪• You probably meet him when he's being pushed around by a group of bullies somewhere in Haddonfield, and manage to get them off his back for a while, with a string of hateful comments. The boy's stunned that someone's standing up for him, and when you help him get his glasses back on after they were slapped off his face, he's stunned all over again. It takes Corey a good minute to stop stuttering and staring at you with wide, dopey eyes and form an actual sentence to introduce himself.
🔪• When you take him back to yours to patch him up, you can't help but notice his breath hitch at your soft touches, such a contrast from the rough shoves and harsh words he gets day after day outside. Heart eyes to the extreme as you concentrate on stopping any blood, and apologise when it stings. Corey barely notices it, and when you pull away as you finish, he chases your hand for a second before he blinks back into reality, heat rushing to his cheeks as he looks down at his feet and thanks you.
🔪• He has no idea why you're so nice to him, but from that day on, he's hooked. You're gonna start seeing him randomly pop up wherever you are, and at first, you assume it's because Corey wants to have you around so it discourages people from picking on him. Nope. He wouldn't mind if he was kicked around, if you could lean in close and clean him up so caringly again. He's fallen hard and very quickly, especially when you reassure him that you know he didn't kill that boy on purpose. You believe him? He almost cries, and looks up at you in wonder, with a hopeful "really?"
🔪• Corey Cunningham has found someone that sees him as a person instead of a monster, and he adores that the person is you. It doesn't take him long to ask him out; it is hard for him to get the courage to, since he's worried that he might be going too fast and certainly aiming too high with you. Saying yes to him will just fully unleash Corey being the clingiest, doting, protective boyfriend you'll ever know. He won't let you go now that he's found you. If he can't have you, no one can.
🔪• He's pretty goofy with how he acts and what he says, but you've told him it's cute, so he won't try to change. Being with you, he wants to keep you happy all the time, and keeps you to himself as much as possible, just in case you start listening to what others have got to say about him. Whatever you tell him though, he'll try to remember as much as possible, so he can how he's been listening by bringing it up again or giving you a little gift related to it.
🔪• To be honest, Corey's a really sweet, doting lover, and he looks at you like you're an angel whenever you're close together, or just working around the house. He'll follow you around like a lost puppy, and has puppy eyes to match, constantly clinging to you and wanting to help with whatever he can. It could get a little annoying if you don't want a shadow around you all the time, but he wants you as happy as possible, so if you tell him your boundaries, he'll eagerly follow them.
🔪• Corey's obsessiveness grows the closer you get, to the point where he goes as far as to kill for you. After he runs into Michael Myers, he takes both of your hands and looks you straight in the eyes excitedly as he tells you that he's not afraid of people anymore, and that he loves that you're always there to protect him. But now, he wants to be the one to protect you. He loves you to death, and he wants to prove it. It's up to you to decide whether or not to let him deal with anyone that upsets you with his violent methods, but he can and will if you say the word.
🔪• If you happen to meet Michael Myers, he won't kill you, but he won't be all soft with you either. His idea of being nice is not killing you, and that's that. Gradually, gradually, he'll decide to protect you, even opting to lurk around in the shadows and check on you and Corey every now and then, like a twisted kind of father figure or friend. So, if you're ever in trouble, you've got Haddonfield's boogeymen behind you when you need them.
🔪• It's scary to see the level of protectiveness and unhidden anger in Corey's eyes when someone's rude to you in front of him, a dark glare in his usually kind eyes. Suddenly, they've gone missing, or they've died in suspicious circumstances, Corey not paying any attention to the news report as he hugs you from where you're curled up on his lap with a small frown on your face. If you ask him for the truth, if he did it for you, he'll shrug and nod, "Well... yeah, I- I did it for you. I love you..." and that's all the explanation there really is.
🔪• He likes taking you for rides on his motorcycle in the evening, just to feel your arms embrace him tightly and a proud grin on his face when he knows you're enjoying it. Corey tries carrying you back upstairs afterwards, which ends up with you both collapsing in a heap on the bed, and him engulfing you with a tight hug with kisses planted on every inch of skin he can find.
🔪• Speaking of affection, Corey can be pretty smothering with it. He's shy and awkward at first, but after hugging you for the first time, and having your first kiss, he can't get enough of your attention and affection. He'll drink it up with a lovesick smile and lean into all of your touches. He can show how needy he is by whining in protest whenever you break a kiss for air, and latches back on in a second.
🔪• The pet names he gives you can be the basic 'baby' and 'sweetheart,' but Corey calls you stronger, more meaningful names at intimate moments too. 'Angel' is a very common one that he coos when he wakes you up gently in the mornings, burying his face in your neck, or whenever you're cleaning him up after a fight or a kill.
🔪• The times when he's most vulnerable, when you've got him wrapped around your finger playing with his curls, he'll whisper to you how all of him belongs to you, that he'll do anything for you, die for you. He's being absolutely honest, and it's nice to hear, but sometimes, when your eyes meet his desperate, loving gaze, you have to tell him that you don't want him to do anything too extreme for you, that you love him just the way he is.
🔪• You can never just kiss Corey briefly before you leave the house to work or anything. He'll draw out any affection you give him for as long as he can, so it's a hard task to prise his hands off your waist with a promise that you'll be done with work soon. It often ends up with him trailing after you, holding your hand tightly and stroking the back of it absentmindedly with his thumb.
🔪• Being in a relationship with Corey Cunningham is full of loving attention, obsessively so, and to know that he'd go as far to basically go on a killing spree for you is nice in a weird kind of way? There's no hope of getting out of it though, because he's happily devoted to you now, and that's just the way he likes it. God forbid anyone who tries messing with it.

yo! if you are seeing this these are kind of outdated
I am meaning to update these, but for now if you want the most recent designs you can try searching for any previous art. but! I do not mind at all if you use these versions for art!!
ive done it once again >:D, individuals and notes below: (long)
survivor! an all around skilled slugcat. they took on a lot of survival instincts in their attempts to find their family again. they are generally laid-back, but joke around every now and then.
their left arm is severely hurt from either the fall or a scuffle with a lizard (or even a mistake bomb throw (because we all did that, right??)), but can still move, just not at its full force.
nightcat! an extremely smart coder. they are quite shy, but once you get to know them they warm up fast. they have an extreme love for things like cryptids!
generally they sneak around the shadows, but occasionally they visit moon (who gave them their scarf! or maybe nsh, undecided)
they have a unique talent, that being when then blush they produce little stars sparkles, which survivor finds adorable
monk is an energetic slugcat at heart. they can be calm and serious when its needed, but they love to bounce around and investigate things! once they had saw gourmand crafting a couple times and immediately became invested in becoming their apprentice. they now love to craft and are quite witty at it too.
they love to tell survivor the things they learn, which survivor then takes into effect with the limited crafts they know such as bombs and lanterns
they have marks on their arms from crafting accidents
(they also have a couple lizard pets :D)
(considering using monk to represent myself, sort of. slugsona sort of??)
gourmand is an extremely patient and kind-hearted soul. they take the time to help any slugcat they see in need. they took monk under their mentorship to teach them the wonders of crafting, though even monk has been making combinations gourmand could never imagine
i tried making them look like a bread loaf (with the lines and everything, but they looked weird) though i hope the warm colors help them seem welcoming!
artificer has an extremely troubled past, the loss of their pups damaged them beyond belief. their reaction is still something im developing, but i think im going in the direction of them sort of blaming themself and becoming almost manic in a way. however! they have a happier present! one of the slugcats (undecided) had found them and worried for their wellbeing, giving them the comfort artificer missed dearly. they still struggle to open themself up to others entirely, but they are working on it
they may or may not find their pups again, arti's story is still a draft here
buuut they are very close to hunter and gourmand, as well as friends with rivulet and spearmaster
they may not also have the best relationship with saint
hunter, a messanger sent from nsh to revive moon, is INCREDIBLY touch starved. they distanced themself from interacting much with other slugcats due to their rot, leading them to be socially anxious as well.
they do, however, meet rivulet and spearmaster who help them become more comfortable with interaction. hunter then develops feelings for the both of them and wham pufferfish
their bandages were painted over by rivulet and spearmaster with their respective colors :D
their pupils are also more like slits compared to the other slugcats
rivulet is a very goofy fish. they have enough energy to last a lifetime. they will never stop building those around them up and creating just an overall positive energy in the room. they love to explore and meet new faces everywhere they go. one of those faces would be spearmaster, who rivulet quickly grew on. they, of course, are very close to moon!
as said in hunter's bio, them and spearmaster had come across hunter and yay pufferfish
the pearls on their tail represent spear and hunter, both found in shoreline
their fins have a slight gradient, though its not required for art :o
spearmaster, created by and close with srs, is a more serious slugcat. their original mission had created an immediate caution instinct to any danger they sensed, and a distaste for five pebbles. they now have a distinct scar on their chest.
they communicate via sign language and are very artistic, but are generally less social than the average slugcat. rivulet had helped them meet the other slugcats, but by themself they were never really good at maintaining those conversations.
however, if you do get the know them, they are very loveable and soft at heart. the markings on their back sort of represent a fawn in a way, and the bracelets they wear represent rivulet and hunter :D
they are also the tallest
i may or may not project onto them uh
saint is tired, very very tired. the endless cycle of rebirth they face when trying to ascend has left them annoyed at best. they distance themself from the other slugcats, but they still occasionally try to get saint to join in. saint is close with gourmand
they are short but very fluffy. the spots on their tail represent echoes, and the lighter parts of their fur are sort of like snow? markings? they are a little chilly idk
their paws are different colors (left and right)
they also take a particular connection to lotus flowers
enot is just yeah, they try their best lol.
essentially like they act in the dating sim, they just want love. Though this enot isn't constantly going after it. They like to goof around more than that tbh.
their design is the same as before i kinda just changed the darkest blue a little.
they managed to befriend nightcat, who they goof around with every now and then
also they have eyelashes purely because I asked my friend who likes enot if they want to give them a trait and they said lashes so!
aaaaaaaaaaand thats it wow
#rain world#survivor#monk#nightcat#gourmand#artificer#hunter#rivulet#spearmaster#saint#enot#goodness#rain world downpour#rain world art#rain world fanart#i think if i ever do change a design ill just edit this post

When are we ever ready?
Custard (at least in my mind) is such a pitch perfect mix of pure vanilla and shadow milk, and a parallel to both of them.
It's analysis timeeee
Contains: my analysis of canon custard iii, a quick parallel between him and Dark Choco cookie, A quick analysis of what I think made shadow milk turn into a beast and why and finally the actual parallel between custard, Shadow and Vanilla. (Being ready to handle something)
Custard is a kind vanillian cookie kid with a persona that's basically his entire personality(being king). He speaks in a way that could be read as bratty, but comes off as performative and a little silly goofy.
He's trying to step into shoes that are wayyy to big for him right now that comes with decisions he's not ready to make or knowledge he's not ready to know. His fortune cookie says "Watch, listen, play! Your memories will shine brighter than a royal crown."
It's literally saying stop trying to grow up and enjoy the now. Because let's be real: growing up sucks when it actually happens. Custard is yet to realise that because he's a kid still looking at adulthood through rose coloured glasses like any kid would.
In a sense this also makes him a parallel to dark choco cookie, who from what we've seen had a very hopeful and positive outlook when he was younger, trying to do what is best for the kingdom but seeming to lack understanding in some of the details, which deepens the rift with his father and fuels his need to prove himself. Which as we know didn't end well...
Custard I don't think is in it to prove himself as a leader. If you've read the bluebell fics I've actually stated that I see the kingly persona as a sort of trauma response. He misses his dad and we don't know what happened to him, and most likely custard doesn't know either. Custard is very young, arguably the youngest of the cast behind snapdragon who's a literal baby, I say about 7/8 years old and loosing your parents at that age definitely doesn't help you develop healthy states of mind or coping mechanisms because there's no supervision.
Custard knows he's of noble vanillian lineage, he heard stories of pure vanilla, this beloved King who was loved by all that grandpa was close to, he was powerful and navigated life's struggles with such ease and gentleness. A kid hears that and thinks "wow he had a lot of friends because he was King! If I'm King then everyone will want to be my friend and I won't be lonely anymore! And I can make the rules!" It's a very young mindset. It also puts him above the others so if they leave him, he can get the last word in and they aren't leaving him, he's banished them. He's in charge, he doesn't want to be friends with them and they should feel sorry about it.
I don't think it's intentionally toxic or anything, it's just the mind of a kid rationalising something to protect themselves from the trauma they've experienced. It's really common for childhood trauma to manifest a coping mechanism like this; finding a source of inspiration and power to project onto, to call on for emotional support. In certain cases it with even go as far as to manifest as d.i.d, but that's not relevant to custard. This also happens in adults as well.
This links to Shadow milk however: shadow has one of the starkest transformations in theme from ancient to beast from what we've seen. Eternal hardly changed, mystic seems to have simply hidden themselves behind a veil, burning spice hardly changed, and it seems silent salt simply put on their helmet.
Shadow milk however was clearly a scholar/Wizard archetype. Fits with his virtue being knowledge, much like how eternal hardly changing fits with their sloth, burning spices silhouette getting bigger fits with the overwhelming power of destruction, mystic hiding themselves away behind their veil to appear unfeeling/apathetic and like a god to their followers (its a literal separation) and silent hiding their face entirely so not even their expressions could communicate their feelings.
So why is did shadow go from a prim and proper scholar to a jester? I think it's all to do with knowledge.
All the beasts had to experience some great trauma, that one moment that solidified their descent into darkness(I have theories for all of them.) Something that, to them, justifies their actions (or lack thereof). Shadow Milks power is that of knowledge, and knowledge doesn't discriminate between the good and evil. Shadow would most likely be hyper aware of everything, to the point of near omniscience before creating dark moon magic. He would see the world and his friends suffering and want to stop it all, and he finds a way:
Using mind magic and trickery. It starts innocent but it builds and builds and it becomes addictive, then it becomes second nature.
Innocently making someone forget the horrors they've experienced, or filling someone's mind with fake positive memories to turn them away from committing atrocities. Perhaps he does it to his friends: maybe he sees them falling and every time he fills their heads with sweet lies to buy them a few more months.
He's overloaded by taking on everyone's troubles while he was still coming to grips with his power, he has no one to turn to because of his spiderweb of lies. He's alone and he doesn't know how to cope. Just like custard
And just like custard he adopts a front: instead of feeling remorse or trying to reverse what he's done and accept that he made a mistake he just leans into it harder, forging a new identity to pick up the pieces and figure something out, unchained by the lies of his past because he is the director the playwright, the producer, he gets to make the decisions and nobody can question him.
(Obviously the first thing he would do would be to lift the lies from his friends and have them fall too.)
Vanilla also sort of does this with healer cookie, but he has amnesia at that point in the story. Healer cookie is more like the truest reflection of pure vanilla cookie, unburdened by the horrors of his life. I bet shadow milk watched healer cookie and seethed inside. For Custard though, I think it was something he had to see even if it hasn't paid off yet. He got to know pure vanilla completely outside of his idealised version without bias because he didn't know.
In the crumbs of content we do have both from in game and twitter we have seen Custards attitude change a little. He's mellowed out a little in the dark cacao episodes and by the time stories by the campfire rolls around he's much more an excited child who happens to like his prince costume and playing prince than a 7 year omd trying to actually be in a position of power with no help or guidance.
Since pure vanilla and shadow are supposed to be opposites I think custard is actually supposed to help convey what makes them the same and what makes them different. They share the acting performative parts of their character with shadow milk, but with vani we see custard genuinely trying to impress him because he wants to be like the vanilla he heard about in his bedtime stories. However custard currently runs the risk of stumbling into something that he's not ready for, which is something I think vani and shadow share. Vanilla wasn't ready to receive the light of truth and its responsibility, and shadow wasn't really ready to weild all of that knowledge alone.
This is also partly why I made the bluebell au. Shadow definitely smelt a kindred spirit but also "hey the kids connected to vani this will make good angst." And also In the fic I have custard adopting a few variations of his prince persona partly to make more people like him.

I want an AU where Sonic and Tails do meet, they just meet way later than in the original canon.
Like instead of a goofy pre-teen hedgehog trying to take care of a fox who's like 4 I want a Sonic who's like in his early twenties, who's used to all the Eggman shenanigans, but now has to deal with the challenge of an emotionally starved and damaged teenager who's in dire need of a hug, but hates being touched. Like Sonic is so instinctively used to hugging someone and stuff like that to the point where he struggles to communicate affection in ways that aren't that.
I can just imagine Sonic looking up ways to try and communicate with Tails on his phone at like 3am, because he's genuinely never had to try and communicate with someone like him before. And during missions with Tails where they're fighting Eggman, Sonic's always checking if Tails' malnourished ass isn't just about to pass out from exhaustion.
It'd also be cool to see how both of them generally grow as people. For Sonic he learns how to read and understand people better, and how to showcase affection in subtle ways that don't overwhelm people (Tails was frequently freaked out by Sonic's affection when they first met). Tails learns how to actually trust people for once in his life, which is something that he couldn't do before as everyone he met was repulsed by him and either ran away from him or abused him (Parents), he also learns how to handle emotions and affection better, not freaking the fuck out whenever he's hugged like once by Amy, and being able to communicate these things better to other people around him.
I also want to see how he meshes with Sonic's pre-existing friends, like Amy and Shadow. Like when Amy learns about Tails and what happened to him she just wants to hug him, but Sonic has to keep telling her Tails doesn't like being touched, because of what happened with his parents as a kid. Or having to stop Rouge attacking Tails fur with a hairbrush because "he clearly doesn't take care of it enough!" and Sonic keeps telling her it's a bad idea and that he'll talk to Tails about it.
But yeah I think that'd be cool.

guys, ain't no mountain high enough being in Muriel's play list like...dude...
maybe its the little kid who grew up with a sick mom in me but...
I'll be really disappointed if there isn't a scene in s3 where Maggie is bringing over Muriel a little welcome to earth care-package that has some records in it (obviously!)
(Maybe its also an excuse for Nina and her to go check up on Crowley who is holed up in the loft can't confirm or deny.)
Then they start playing the Tammi and Marvin record and they're all laughing and dancing and Crowley hears it from upstairs where he's been moping for hours, he comes down all grumpy like 'what the hell are you all doing😠'
Muriel turns off the record instantly and before Maggie and Muriel can start apologizing Nina jumps in,
'Marvin and I are getting our act together right Marvin?'
Muriel nervously but still giggly is like 'right Tammi.'
Maggie and Nina hand Muriel a hair brush and toss Crowley a candle stick or something and she says 'in fact, we were just looking for another beautiful backup dancer!' she says as she puts the needle back on, (she's started to grow fond of records, a little fonder of people too.)
and Crowley scoffs of course, the silly humans and the silly little angel trying to make him feel better so silly.
but its the lyrics, he never stood a chance.
"Aint no mountain high, aint no valley low, aint no river wide enough baby!' Muriel mouths all the Marvin bits trying to emulate a rock star, Nina and Maggie and cheering and fawning, Crowley rolls his eyes, (no sunglasses to be seen might I add)
"If you need me call me, no matter where you are! No matter how far!" Nina mouths as she dances towards Crowley, he can't help but give a smidge of a smile.
"Don't worry baby!"
"Just call my name,' Maggie mouths as she nudges Crowley towards the middle of the room where the sun is shining from the windows, out of the shadows, 'I'll be there in a hurry you don't have to worry!"
"Cause baby there ain't no mountain high enough! Ain't no valley low enough, ain't no river wide enough!" they start really singing, doing a goofy little choreograph dance, (ha! there's two god!) raising and waving their hand and singing into their play microphones.
Crowley is swaying half-assed at first and he can't help but get caught up in the fun, what does he have to lose by being silly in front of these silly creatures?
"To keep me from getting to you babe!" They all point at Crowley, he bowls over with tears he's laughing so hard.
"Oh no darling! No wind no rain!" Crowley takes Muriel and spins them around the shop, they laugh so loud its a squeal.
"Oh winters cold can't stop me baby!" Maggie and Nina sing to each other, spinning around themselves. "No no baby!"
"Cause you are my love!" they're all arm in arm dancing through the shop, "If you're ever in trouble I'll be there on the double, just send for me oh baby!"
Muriel holds their pretend mic up to Crowley, "My love is alive, right down in my heart, although we are miles apart!" Crowley can't help the few little tears that escape through the joy.
Crowley holds his up to Muriel's, "If you ever need a helping hand I'll be there on the double just as fast as I can!"
They hold out there hand to Crowley and they spin like a ring around.
The chorus starts again and they all continue to dance so badly they fall into each other in an embrace.
So free, so safe in this warm happy place Aziraphale made on earth, the sun shines brightly through the skylight and the place is filled with so much love and laughter and peace you can almost feel Aziraphale sitting in his arm chair, just watching them smiling on, like somehow everything is going to be okay.
Anyways yeah you guys remember that 1998 movie Stepmom by Chris Columbus? yeaaaah...
youtube
#good omens#good omens 2#writing this was very healing#but it made me cry so much i got a headache#it was worth it#actually maybe its okay if this isn't a scene in s3 it will always be a scene in my heart#ineffable husbands#crowley#aziraphale#muriel good omens#aziracrow#Youtube

Tag force posting again, finished Asuka's route. Rambles below:
This route was highkey so fucking funny. The first 3 events are the same for every character but her 4 heart event is her and Hat-kun being jumped by Momoe and Junko. These girls istg they spend the entire anime trying to get Asuka to date someone but when they assume Asuka is dating the protag, they jump him because they don't think he's good enough for dearest Asurin. You get a REALLY strong sense for Junko's love for Asuka in tag force because like. When you talk to her she's like "You better not be causing problems for Alexis!!!" plus she's the first character to comfort Asuka during her ending. You kinda get the vibe that the two are closer friends with each other than they are with Momoe oddly enough but I might be reading into it too much.
Also she calls the protag a pervert (lmfao you KNOW 4kids was not involved in this translation)
Speaking of which the translation is so interesting. It's like a strange mix of dub and sub probably because of the translation team. I don't know if it's different from the anime translation team or what but there's so many bits you're like oho i see what that is. Like Manjoume calling Asuka "Rhodes" consistently - feeling kinda like his sub Tenjouin-kun in comparison to his dub pet name, Lexi. Although on the other hand, dub character quirks still pop up like Kenzan's weird army talk and Judai's goofy little catchphrases (sweetness, the hero always wins in the end, etc).
The 5th event follows Manjoume and Fubuki trying to cheer Asuka up after Momoe and Junko go missing after their event duel. This is covered up by Manjoume claiming he's going to win Lexi's heart from Hat-kun while Fubuki insists they form a brother-sister tag duel together. Shout out to Manjoume losing 20 manly points during this dialogue. I adore Fubuki and Manjoume's silly hijinks. At the end of the event they reveal they were trying to cheer Asuka up, but in the end they go missing too.
Honestly it's just. So. Sad. Throughout her route Asuka seems to have such an air of sadness around her. Her bio kinda suggests there's a lot on her mind she doesn't openly express but there's always an air of worry and grief around her, especially by the time the 6th heart event comes around and Judai and Sho go missing. She has teary sprites and it broke my heart, especially with the context of Fubuki's disappearance and how badly it affected her the first time. One of her potent lines was something along the lines of "What if I have no one left?" Everyone she cares about literally just vanish off the island (although this doesn't stop them appearing during the dueling exam)
The route concludes with Asuka meeting with Kenzan and Johan at the abandoned dorm where Titan (yes, the shadow rider) is back for some reason? With Jinzo. Apparently Titan is back for revenge and Jinzo wants to use everyone Asuka's ever loved as sacrifices for his rebirth. Which of course doesn't happen because its the easiest boss fight in the whole route lmao.
However it was cute. Tag Force 2 is kinda like if season 3 was season 1 and I like it as a season 1 defender. It was nice to see the tables turn where Asuka saves Judai instead of vice versa (even if the dialogue regarding it was a little ham fisted and more could have been said about Asuka being a damsel in distress more often or not and how she feels about that - but like wtf its a childrens card game anime video game who cares)
She gets a lil tsundere @ Judai at the end too lmao I'm telling you, this guys autistic rizz is endless

Horropedia x Philocalist (OC) // Stuck With You
Note// can be taken as a x reader because this is technically like a "we're best friends but you actually thought we're dating" kind of trope lol
Warning// Suggestive and mentions of death and horror speculations(?)
____
There is one day when Horropedia plans to invite his supposedly girlfriend to a ghost hunting date that is located at a haunted mansion... just the two of them.
Without knowing, Philocalist ended up suggesting if she can invite other people like Ms. Tooth Fairy, An An Lee, Blonney, and Jessica- Click happens to pop in too at the last minute because of An An Lee/ih
The brunette couldn't bring himself to say no to her... Yet at the same time, he is mentally screaming by the failed attempt of making them spend time together alone as couple----
Meanwhile, it seems Philocalist thinks her crush is just treating her like a travel partner, rather than something more than that - yet she seems alright about that.
How bad will this exploration be?
Probably wrong, as always.
So far, everyone got separated into groups because of a creature that has been roaming around the mansion - they couldn't even detect signs of life in the first place! How did that thing get inside? It seems... it must be a ghost.
But even if so, that huge spirit managed to destroy a long dining table in half by holding a normal solid axe somehow
Philocalist finds herself getting chased through the halls at the moment. Before things went out of board, she noticed how Blonney and Jessica ran away together along with An An Lee, Click and Tooth Fairy---
Concluding that Horropedia ran away by himself, she is aware having him separated from the group would be dangerous and even for her right now- so she tries to follow where he was running off to.
Haunting growls can be heard from behind, cueing that the entity is getting closer- she cautiously looks around as she takes a sharp turn to a hallway full of doors--
Just as she is trying to quickly pass by the hall, one of the wooden doors open as a pair of hands reach and snatch her by the waist right into the room-
Philocalist whimpers by the sudden pull, trying to get out of the hold she can't even detect who from the shadows. The door then gets locked again in the process.
"Calm down, Philo..."
The familiar caramel voice can be heard whispering her ear as a gloved hand is covering her mouth securely to prevent her from being too loud,
"It's me, wi- Philocalist. It's Horropedia!"
After a few seconds, the ravenette slowly stopped struggling as she confirmed the same scent of wood on him. Even when she tries to reach out an occupied hand towards the figure behind her, she can feel the familiar texture of the limited edition glasses he crookely wears.
Horropedia manages to stop her hand with his other had gently as she can already imagine an amused grin, "Wow, be careful there...!"
".....Mm....." Philocalist quietly hums, not sure if she should take his hand off of her lips while being in an awkward position.
The horror fanatic finally realizes the situation before quickly letting her speak as she can now quietly gasp for some cool air to lower the pressure.
"Oops- my bad."
"I'm glad I get to find you- but what happened to you when we got separated...?" Philocalist quietly whispers before approaching the locked door to try and check for any footsteps that can be heard from the other side.
"Just got here too- and got some time to look around here before..." Horropedia walks away, cueing the puzzled Philocalist to follow along, "I found this."
He then uncovers a huge painting that was covering a tunnel path to a room.
"This..." The raventte starts, "I think this is intentionally made to hide..-"
"-Secrets." Horropedia finishes swiftly with his infamous, goofy grin.
Just that, he motions a dramatic gesture with his hands as if stating "ladies first" at Philo. Who places her hand on her chest dramatically as if "omg, you shouldn't have-" before crawling carefully-
They carefully try to enter the door at the end of the tunnel--
But the moment they went further- the door immediately locks itself by force even if Horropedia was holding on to it.
"Okay- that's a fascinating mechanism." The brunette mutters, unsurprised. Trying to study the door as Philocalist just got a bit jumpty after the sudden big noise.
"Yep- We're stuck." Horropedia confirms as he takes a closer look at the door, even failing to open it again or unlocking it, "Surprisingly, the door seems to have the gap covered from being exposed in order to prevent some card from swiping in-"
"Well, very clever...." She mutters softly before sighing. Knowing that's not good for the both of them.
"Don’t worry- got a backup plan." Horropedia suddenly says before taking out some kind of controller- then clicking it.
.
.
.
Beep!
"Okay, SOS sent." Horropedia affirms before putting it back as Philocalist processes what just happened.
"Oh." That's the only she can spill about that, "Do you think they can find us...?"
"Please- if they can't, we might as well make a path besides a door and a window afterall!" Horropedia suggested as he looks around the room they are in, which seems like a bedroom.
"This place..." Philocalist whispers, "It has a king's bedroom-" She stops nefore her fingers softly bump into a picture frame from a cabinet.
She lots the picture frame a bit to see a photo of a pair who are notably weqring engsgement rings, "A married couple's bedroom..."
"Married couple- Norman and Eva?" Horropedia, "Gosh, this is it! It's in here!"
"Their will note?" Philocalist asks curiously.
"The same place where they mysteriously passed in their sleep- but also that." Horropedia acts as matter of factly before starting to work on his investigation, "You got your tools?"
"Yes." The ravenette nods before taking out an led light to scrutinize around the room as well.
"I wonder what would be the cause of their death- some kind of chemical on the bed?" He checks the bedsheets carefully with a flashlight, "Abnormal infestation going on?" He checks cabinets, "Or have they recently touched something in the bathroom-" He then goes to the shared bathroom with 2 sinks, "Mmm- the cause of their death could be outside the bedroom- but then we already checked everywhere else- did we?"
"Their death couldn't just strangely happen, just after the moment they fell on the bed..." Philocalist ponders as she rubs her chin lightly in thought.
She tries to check the bed again with an LED light. Even the pillows.
"No blood stains...
.
.
A-Ah,,, "
Philocalist quickly backs away from the bed as she takes the LED light close to her. Having a disturbed look
"What is it? You found somethibg???" Horropedia's eyes can be seen Sparkling with determination.
"Eh... I don't think you don't wanna see this but-" Philocalist slowly hands the light to the taller one before quickly turning away to get busy with other kinds of furniture.
The man was confused at first before looking down at the bed sheet with the LED light now-
His eyes widens.
Stains... transparent stains that seem to be the surface layer besides dust.
"What the hell...?" Horropedia grimace before slowly looking toward Philo who is just as embarrassed and traumatized as he is. "They both kicked the bucket because-"
"Yes." That’s all Philocalist is going to say before silence invades the dim litted room.
"Now- this is far from what I expected," Horropedia admits before scratching his head a bit after taking off the plastic gloves. "I guess we now know how they died...-"
"Y-Yea..." Philocalist nervously laughs quietly, before moving further away from the bed.
"Alright- let's find the will contract." The brunette quickly changes the topic as he notices the tension becoming a bit suffocating. The other nods in agreement before kneeling down to search anything underneath the furniture. Horropedia had a lot of thoughts running in his head, but eventually stop looking around in deep detail when he finally has the courage to look back at his partner again. Noticing how far she seems from him as well.
"Are you alright, wife...?" Horropedia tries to light up the mood with his usual joke of a nickname for her. He mentally cringes at the fact that it actually turns out even worse if he calls her that at a dead couple's bedroom---
"Yes... I'm alright. I'm just surprised." Philocalist reassures quietly as she tries to tie her hair up so it doesn't make contact with the floor. Trying to ignore his eyes on her doing it.
"I just hope nothing haunted happens here- it would be very embarrassing for the ghosts...-"
Horropedia laughs by her comment. "T-True!"
"Ah,,, hey. Why are you far away now? Come here." Horropedia motions Philocalist with his arms, "We have to stick together, just in case."
"I-I think this distance is good enough..." Philocalist's lightly muffled voice seems more nervous than ever, "There’s no way someone can kidnap me from if I'm close to a bar--"
"...Philo- p-please trust me, I won't do anything weird!!" The nerd protests as he tries to explain, his now leather gloved hands waving like crazy. "Don’t be scared of me, you know me too well!"
"I'm not scared of you," Philocalist responds a bit more calmly yet still m
looking at something, "I just don’t know how should I even act around you in these kinds of situations... I like you, after all."
.
.
.
"Huh."
"Huh...?"
"You like like me?"
"Yes."
"But, Philocalist- I thought we're already dating."
.
.
.
.
Silence conquers the room once again...
Both of their faces slowly start looking like tomatoes, either by realization or embarrassment.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you thought of me that way--- you were very subtle;;-" The ravenette girl apologizes as she quickly stands up, startling Horropedia a bit.
"No no!!! Huh,,, It's my bad... I can't read the rooms right---" Horropedia rambles back as he scratches his cheek in conflict, "
He slowly tries to approach Philocalist, who seems to back away as an instinct. Horropedia doesn't seem to mind as he walks closer to her figure, trapping her against the wall as a glove hand is placed next to her head loosely with a calmer but serious expression.
Of course, he cautiously tries to eye both sides or at the locked door if there's ever anyone somehow who manages to break in.
"...Philocalist." The brunette with glasses starts solemnly, "I've always loved you, even right now."
"...H... Horropedia." Philocalist looks away a bit, but the other autist prevents her by holding on to her chin lovingly, making her look at him in the eyes.
"I'm serious," Horropediw says, "Who else would I treat the same as I treat you? Who is the first person I come into mind when inviting to come to a haunted mansion with me?
Philocalist, you're one of my best friends who I can count on. But... you're a special kind of best friend- I, I want you to- no, I want to be your boyfriend."
Horropedia tries not to ramble, but it seems is failing. Philocalist can't even help but get redder by the confession---- yet she gently leans in to nuzzle on his neck to try to calm her heartbeats--
"...I love you,,, and I want to be your girlfriend, too." She whispers, feeling a bit embarrassed yet voluntarily feels the need to express that. "Thank you,,, I'm sorry."
"It's okay," Horropedia assures as be now hugs her back, "We just have to hope the others are okay- we can still try and find an exit-"
"I-I know they're capable,,, but what I mean is, I wish I should've known sooner,,,"
"Is alright, boo... I can't even get mad at you at all for that-"
After he lovingly admits it to her, he gently boops their foreheads for a good moment...
Before suddenly, a beep can be heard as Horropedia lightly pulls away from the hug to respond to the mechanism that was on his pocket, which was a walkie-talkie.
"Ehhhh.. everything alright there???" Jessica asks who jusy happened to take the talkie from Blonney, "We detected your signal- we're coming to where you are."
"An An Lee managed to find the Merrian's will contract after noticing Click's latest photos." Blonney cam be heard from the background as the voice of the said ghost buster can also be heard vaguely as "Yeah no I can't believe it either-".
"Gosh,,, what a miracle. " Philocalist whispers.
"Horropedia and Philocalist here- copy that!"
Horropedia holds the button before releasing once stating it. He then quickly takes out his gun and aims at the door, still holding on Philocalist's waist.
"My gun is ready - I should have thought of this sonner!!!" He yells out in ecstasy as he shoots - Summoning the Twin Dolls. The cursed creatures quickly work on chopping on the old wood in different pieces and digging the hole wider. It then explodes into nothing but a bigger entrance tunnel
"Golly...-" That’s one word Philocalist let's out after seeing that. Once again.
"Journey on! We're just getting started!" He happily chirps before taking his now official girlfriend's hand in his before running towards the exit. Philocalist only giggles at his enthusiasm before following suit with a warm smile.

Hello, please use this as a free excuse to talk more about the civvie response for Magical Girl Scar. That post is my intro and I know nothing about it yet BUT it seems very interesting, and all your content makes my heart happy <3
oh okay so like. here's a few more thoughts about the public relations/civilian response stuff because this remains one of the things i have thoughts about for the au because, once again, this is my SUPER self-indulgent au that's like, a mix of the sailor moon end of the magical girl scale, some western superhero tropes, then a bunch of other tropes i just personally like a lot,
team scar eventually gets a twitter account. cub originally makes it and proves who they are with a selfie to stop people from making fake accounts, but neither cub nor scar are very invested in twitter (scar uses his civilian account largely for pictures of jellie and cub is committed to being an enigma). therefore, until bdubs joins up, the twitter account is mostly used to retweet warning tweets from official sources and to, as occasionally necessary, address the public when stuff comes up. bdubs, however, understands the power of social media SO MUCH BETTER and so the moment he joins the team he's like "right we're making our twitter account much more personable whether you like it or not"
bdubs being incredibly approachable on basically every social media helps with team scar's image a LOT after he joins on, actually, because he turns out to be very good at just being his own goofy self and not making people think of them as bizarre unapproachable magical deities or something. bdubs does a good job of fixing their image back to "they're just like, guys".
oh i think they probably get a sect of people who think they're some kind of deity/sign of the end times/etc. that feels like a thing that would happen. i think the entirety of team scar is baffled and a little horrified by that one, honestly, at least partially because any religion scar is a deity of clearly has some screws loose. scar objects: he wouldn't be the god in this scenario wouldn't jellie be the god? jellie tells them this is all really silly and they shouldn't indulge it.
uh, i think there's a general moratorium on trying to figure out team scar's civilian identities in the news. i think early on there's debate about whether they should really be anonymous and like, one news station that tries to dig up their identities, but they get cancelled into the ground online because early on i think team scar is somewhat well-liked and this rule of "everyone kind of understands it would destroy their abilities to have a life if their identities were revealed" holds true even in the times the public dislikes them. i think civilians who end up making a good guess despite the magic protecting their identities often end up redirecting attentions. i think there's still a contingency of people determined to doxx/leak their identities because of course there is but they're heavily in the minority, especially after one of the rare interviews with a member of team scar kind of reveals that scar is dead terrified of anyone figuring out who he is. (in scar's defense it had been a BAD day and he'd gotten a lot of threats from the shadow organization; normally he's not as worried about this as he came across in the interview but the interview is what is particularly memorable about this moral conundrum.)
finally, wrapping around back to the military thing: i think there's definitely an arc where the government has the military come in to try to help solve the problem and team scar tries to work with them for a bit only to discover that not only is the shadow organization is a part of the government, but even non-shadow organization higher level members of the military think team scar is a Threat and are actively working against them, with the arc culminating in team scar having to fight members of the military, a thing that they all probably have some kind of emotions about. but we're gonna focus on the civilian react to that arc real quick as opposed to the team scar side which i will talk more about at some point.
basically i think this is BIG controversial. the military showing up in the first place is controversial in town mostly due to a known problem called "well we've tried to have the police or the national guard help but they're better at like evacuations when they're useful at all and have proved largely useless", but lots of people are also like "well FINALLY" and think this is a great thing that is happening, especially because since the military has shadow organization tech they're able to like, actually help a little.
however i think the fight team scar ends up in ends up heavily publicized and is POLARIZING. on the one hand, the city knows team scar doesn't normally turn their powers against civilians. on the other hand, this is one of the times that how dangerous team scar's powers WOULD be against civilians is put into stark light. worse they're fighting people who would normally be trying to help and it's kind of terrifying because even the people who know that the military probably instigated something are like. oh. they CAN fight regular people. and they would be very, very good at it if they wanted to. and these magical, mysterious fighters that had mostly stuck to fighting each other and fighting spirits suddenly become magical mysterious fighters that could fight you. plus of course there's always the contingency of the public that says "well if the MILITARY was doing it then it cannot possibly be wrong they had to have a good reason clearly these magical girls are criminals" and i think that's probably one of the lowest points of their public relations, immediately after that incident.
this is ANOTHER big ramble i'm just. this au makes me ramble

Essential Avengers: Avengers #297: FUTURES IMPERFECT!
November, 1988
The CLASH That WRECKED The Avengers!
Seems to be wrecking Nebula instead.
Which. I’m pretty okay with.
Not sure when she changed back into the Kang outfit. Or why she changed back into the Kang outfit.
Eh.
So last times in East Coast Avengers: Dr Druid manipulated and connived and undermined and election frauded his way to chairmanship of the Avengers. Due to ominous sex dreams, he was convinced that a great calamity was coming and only the Avengers could stop it and only he could get the team in shape to stop it. Because Captain Marvel was too soft with her -checks notes- not wanting to kill people if it could be avoided.
Then it turns out that the ominous sex dream lady was actually Nebula Kang, manipulating Dr Druid’s sense of self-importance so she could get control over the Avengers. With Dr Druid under her thumb and the Avengers under Dr Druid’s thumb, she plans to go to the Bubble at the Heart of Time to get some super-duper-uber weapon to overshadow all other weapons and. Just be the boss of everything, I guess.
The Kangs of the Kang Klubhouse belatedly realize that Nebula infiltrated them and stole all their technology. A team of three Kangs, one of which is named Fred, try to stop her but arrive too late.
Nebula and the Avengers took off in an FTL-enabled Quinjet and after a lot of timebulance, arrive at the Bubble at the Heart of Time.
Which sure is a big, red bubble-shaped thing.
Nebula announces that the Best Weapon will be hers!
Thor asks what the best weapon even is but Nebula says he’s on a need-to-know basis.
She-Hulk: “You don’t know, do you? You actually don’t know what the weapon is!”
Nebula Kang: “Shut up, She-Hulk! I’ll thank you to speak only when you’re spoken to!”
Hah.
I love that She-Hulk’s sass is so strong that even under mind-control, she’s tossing barbs at her boss.
Nebula implicitly admits that she doesn’t actually know by saying that the Council of Cross-Time Kangs want it and that’s a good enough reason for her.
Also, then thousands of Quinjets show up.
The Quinjets are indistinct “phantoms of light!”
Team Nebula can’t even tell who is in the cockpits of the other Quinjets. But they’re all racing in the same direction and some of them are getting ahead of Team Nebula.
Nebula Kang speculates that their presence is generating probability shadows. Or something.
She then also gets paranoid that they’re not shadows, they’re other Avengers teams from other timelines who might get to the prize first!
So she tells Black Knight to get out on the bow of the craft and swing the Ebony Blade at any Quinjet that gets in their way. And for Thor to get out there too and make the Quinjet go faster with his hammer, somehow.
It’s cool though. Black Knight says that his helmet, the one with a big opening for his lower face, protects him from the icy vacuum of space. Well, also his state of being super cursed.
Team Nebula’s Quinjet passes “a great metropolis of the future!” for exactly one panel before the city disappears.
Marvel wiki says this city never shows up again. It is entirely pointless. Or a point that Simonson never got around to.
Anyway, Black Knight claims they’ve broken through the outer shell of the bubble. Now they’re passing over weird landscapes and other cities. Since they’ve broken through, Nebula Kang orders Black Knight and Thor back inside the Quinjet.
Meanwhile?, back at Hydrobase, the three Kangs complain about arriving too late to stop Nebula Kang.
Then they realize that they’re all time travelers, duh.
Like. Duh.
They just hop back ten minutes before the Quinjet left.
Before the Quinjet leaves, the three Kangs sneak up to the Quinjet and attach themselves to the underside of the wing.
This is some goofy shit for Kangs to do.
I kind of love it.
Anyway.
Back at the Avengers’ present time.
Nebula Kang notices that they’re consuming fuel faster than they should be. Also, the weird, wacky settings they keep flying through? Just more phantoms. Or maybe their Quinjet is a phantom to the settings inside the bubble?
They just fly through the weird cityscape. Literally through. And then the city dissolves and the Quinjet hits more time turbulence.
Mesozoic Kang loses his grip on the Quinjet, flies off into the time turbulence, and ceases to exist.
Aw, Mesozoic Kang you waste of a character, we barely knew you. We only knew your name and that you were a fighty boy, basically.
Inside the Quinjet, Nebula realizes that they haven’t actually penetrated the bubble. They just keep skating around its surface. Except with more time words like flux and local time track.
What she thinks the problem is, is that only the Avengers can get into the bubble and she’s not an Avenger!
She orders Dr Druid to nominate her to the team and for everyone else to vote her in.
Aw, dammit, does that mean Nebula Kang needs to be included in lists now?
Hm. Marvel wiki does list her as joining the team in this issue.
Dammit.
Just to be sure that this Avengers roster of Dr Druid, Nebula Kang, Thor, She-Hulk, and Black Knight is the right Avengers roster to penetrate the bubble, she has Dr Druid precognitively scan each one to see if he sees a future of them getting into the bubble.
Sure, that makes sense!
Hrrg. This idea that the right combination of Avengers is like a combination lock is annoying me. The idea that the Kangs presented is that it was more that an Avengers team would eventually get in but I guess Nebula Kang is just a big dumbass who heard it the wrong way.
Anyway, after a scan, Dr Druid declares that Thor is very definitely one of the correct people. Which corresponds with what the Kangs have said.
She-Hulk gets a maybe. Dr Druid’s precognition senses a woman will be in the group but he can’t say for sure its She-Hulk.
Annnd Black Knight’s future scan just shows a void.
Ah ha, clearly, he’s not supposed to be here!
Nebula Kang orders Black Knight to jump out of the Quinjet.
He’s mind-controlled so he’s perfectly happy to do it. But he can’t actually do it because of the muscle stiffness caused by the super curse afflicting him.
Nebula Kang loses patience and tells She-Hulk to throw Black Knight overboard.
Black Knight: “Thank you, Jennifer. Sorry I was unequal to the effort.”
She-Hulk: “No problem, Dane. Good-bye.”
Snrrk.
Its probably horrifying that this level of mind-control also forces you to thank someone for killing you. But its so casual that I have to laugh.
The two Kangs stowing away on the underside of the ship panic when Black Knight gets ejected. Because he might be one of the Avengers that’s going to get into the time bubble. Dr Druid’s precognitive scanning is very likely to be unreliable!
So Beard Kang catches Black Knight with a tractor beam. The Avenger has passed out from the stress but is safe from flying off into nothing.
Beard Kang also deduces that Nebula Kang is doomed to fail in this attempt. If for no other reason than the two Kangs hanging out will passively negate her efforts to force her way into the bubble with some random Avengers.
But even so, Beard Kang decides the Kangs need to act before Nebula Kang and her stubbornness destroys the Quinjet and everyone aboard, attached to the outside, and floating like twenty feet behind the ship.
Fred Kang has been spending this time decrypting the mindbenders attached to the Avengers. He’s not finished but he can at least overload the mindbenders attached to Thor and hope he survives the attempt.
(Given that Thor is the One Dude they know for sure is predestined to penetrate the bubble, its a big gamble to use him as the guinea pig, holy shit.)
Thor doesn’t seem to regain his right mind. He’s not talking at all. But overloading the mindbenders drives him in a rage and he’s not taking orders anymore.
He tries to SMASH Nebula Kang. She dodges out of the way and orders She-Hulk to grab him.
She-Hulk can’t hold him for long because he’s truly gone berserk. So Nebula Kang decides, fuck it, she’ll just kill Thor rather than risk dealing with a Thor she can’t control.
And the Kang-armor she’s wearing has enough power to do it.
Which is probably why she put it on between issues. Good to know. Or speculate.
Fred Kang decides he’s gotta stop her (because of Thor being The One Guy they know for sure penetrates the bubble). So while Beard Kang keeps working on deactivating the mindbender on Black Knight.
So Fred climbs up on the wing so Nebula Kang can see him, drawing her attention from Thor.
And the analysis on She-Hulk’s mindbender completes so he also deactivates it.
She-Hulk is very put out.
She-Hulk: “My thoughts! I’m free again! Oh, my god, woman! What have you done to me? And with this little thing! You’ve made me kill Dane! You’ve used me like garbage! I swear I’ll kill you if its the last thing I do!”
Panicked, Nebula Kang steers into the time turbulence, to disorient She-Hulk.
Nebula Kang probably wasn’t thinking about this with a She-Hulk staring her in the face but the turbulence also knocks the two remaining Kangs off the Quinjet.
Before they disappear, one of the Kangs zkeeek!s Black Knight’s mindbender at the last moment.
Black Knight has his own mind again and regains consciousness just in time to realize ‘oh shit!’
Without Kangs here, the tractor beam starts weakening. So he increases the power of his exoskeleton and climbs back toward the Quinjet.
Can’t say I know what he’s climbing though. The beam?
The turbulence hasn’t cooled She-Hulk’s temper and she tries to go after Nebula Kang.
Apparently, the mindbender overload that put Thor in an indiscriminate fury has worn off and he’s back to being Nebula Kang’s muscle. She orders Thor to protect her and he intercepts She-Hulk.
Thor: “Desist, Jennifer, and I will slay thee as gently as possible!”
She-Hulk: “I can’t say the same, Goldilocks! In fact, now that you mention it, I can see I had the wrong idea! I’m putting you out of your misery here and now, Thor! And this last punch ought to do it!”
And She-Hulk whallops Thor and knocks his head through the cockpit window.
Wow, good thing there’s no vacuum out there, I guess?
Thor: “Uhhh! Jennifer, enough! I am myself again! Thou hast shattered the electronic demons which held me fettered! And though I have a headache that even mortal wonder drugs could not cure... I have never felt so alive, so ready to fight in all my days!”
Nebula Kang scrapes the bottom of the barrel and commands Dr Druid to protect her.
Dr Druid versus She-Hulk and Thor goes as you’d think.
Enjoy the concussion, dick.
(There is something very funny about Dr Druid declaring his superior mind and then just using a tackle.)
Black Knight finishes climbing up an energy beam?? and climbs back inside the Quinjet. Easy since there’s now a giant hole in the window.
Since nobody is actually piloting the thing, he grabs the controls and steers away from the time bubble.
She-Hulk is thrilled to see she didn’t toss him out to his death after all and Black Knight asks that maybe they stop breaking the ship, please?
She-Hulk, to Nebula: “There’s only one thing here I’m going to destroy! When we’re done, honey, they aren’t going to be able to pick you up with a sieve!”
She-Hulk starts tearing apart Nebula Kang’s Kang outfit. To Nebula Kang’s shock, since the Kang armor is “designed to withstand the fury of cosmic storms!”
She-Hulk: “Maybe you better sue the manufacturer!”
Hah!
Nebula Kang doesn’t really have a lot of ground to complain since she did steal this equipment.
She-Hulk gets ready to punch Nebula Kang, despite Thor protesting that’d kill her, but Nebula Kang wiggles loose.
Nebula Kang: “All right, Avengers! You’ve had your chance! Maybe I should have killed you all in the first place... But it’s still not too late for that end! When you’re dead, the Kangs will never be able to retrieve the great weapon either! I’ve got enough reserve power to teleport out of here! The energy unleashed will fry this entire cockpit... and all of you with it!”
Except when she activates the teleport, all it does is electrocute her, because of the damage to the armor.
Hah and I say hah.
Thor uses his hammer to absorb the energy coming off Nebula Kang, to prevent damage to the Quinjet controls.
Black Knight finally manages to steer away from the time bubble. On their way out, they spot another illusory Quinjet headed towards the bubble with Thor and She-Hulk in the cockpit.
There’s in fact, a lot of illusory Quinjets still heading toward the bubble. One of the Quinjets flies toward the bubble which opens before it.
Guess those’re the guys that get to learn what all this nonsense is about.
BUT APPARENTLY the bubble opening up creates suction and the suction sucks Nebula Kang right out of the hole in the cockpit window. And Dr Druid? Why, he tries to grab her and gets sucked out too.
The love the dull expressions on the Avengers as teammate and chairman Dr Druid gets sucked into a time hole.
They’re like “Eh.”
They’re maybe too charitable to think “and nothing of value was lost” but I’ll do it for them.
And I can finally say Dr Druid isn’t here and for good reason.
Thor tells Black Knight to take them home.
Black Knight: “With pleasure, Thor. There is nothing more to be done here.”
But secretly She-Hulk is thinking that she wished she had killed Nebula Kang, because this whole terrible day cost Jen everything, even her self-respect. “After this, nothing will ever be the same again.”
And so they go home. BWRAM!ing on their FTL Quinjet. Back to Hydrobase.
And there’s only two pages left so everything happens really quickly.
When they arrive, Jarvis (hi Jarvis!) asks what happened to Dr Druid. Thor simply replies that Dr Druid won’t be coming back. And when Jarvis asks about the mysterious lady he sorta but doesn’t really remember, Thor tells him less said the better.
Thor pulls off Jarvis’ mindbender, since its apparently deactivated now that Nebula Kang is gone. Or now that she fell into a time hole and doesn’t exist? Or whatever?
Whatever.
Anyway, She-Hulk suddenly announces that she’s quitting the team.
She-Hulk: “She made me do horrible things! Things that were partly from inside my own soul. I’m not sure how I can live with that. I need time to think, time to heal, time to be alone. I... I just can’t bear to see either of you looking at me now.”
Instead of trying to talk her out of it, Thor is just like ‘alright, bye.’
IN FAIRNESS, he does tell her that nothing he’s not holding anything against her from when Nebula Kang was controlling their brains but Jen’s not hearing it.
This is all very sudden! Like, yeah, She-Hulk has that thought bubble where she’s thinking how she lost her self-respect or whatever but still!
And with Dr Druid gone (finally) and She-Hulk quitting, the Avengers is down to just Thor and Black Knight.
Except not.
Thor decides that he’s going to do some Asgard stuff and Black Knight is going with him because of a conversation they apparently had in Thor #396.
Jarvis: “But... what of the Avengers, Master Thor?”
Thor: “They were a team... and now the team is gone, loyal friend.”
Hey, fuck you.
Okay, so. This is also sudden. Apparently, Thor tried contacting the reserve members off-panel and nobody is available. And he doesn’t have time to bother training newbies.
Thor: “I have notified the West Coast Avengers of our dissolution. If any can be spared, perhaps... who can say? And there are other heroes still. But to me, the Avengers stood foremost in honor and in courage. Their glory and tradition shall not tarnish with age. Farewell.”
I think someone should just tell the West Coast Avengers that they’re the Avengers now. And if the New York... uh, Hydrobase team reforms, they have to go by the East Coast Avengers.
This is so stupid.
They JUST set up an expensive new base and Thor is like ‘eh.’
“Eh” is for Dr Druid dying, not for disbanding the Avengers!
I should also add that this makes Jarvis unemployed and he just got out of the hospital to start doing his job again.
What a bummer.
Jarvis locks up and leaves, missing the incoming big crossover alarm.
Obviously, the Avengers book isn’t ending here.
The Worst Roster is upcoming in only a few issues. There’s an Inferno tie-in. There’s so much going on.
But I don’t have to like how we got here.
This story didn’t have to be bad. Well-meaning but self-aggrandizing jackass weasels his way to the leadership of the Avengers and is actually under the thumb of a supervillain is not a bad concept.
Its actually a good one!
Simonson blows it in, like, one issue.
The Avengers don’t even get a regular story with Dr Druid as their leader before he’s trying to kill people for being too ornery to control.
And then it turns out that Nebula Kang just has better mind control tech. So she didn’t even need to try to use a robot dinosaur to kill Thor.
I think this would have been better if there had been a couple stories with Dr Druid being a terrible leader but where She-Hulk and Black Knight (under his influence) insist he’s doing a great job to Thor’s increasing frustration.
But this story can’t actually be told well because Simonson wants to clear the deck for a new roster all his own. He inherited the Captain Marvel, Namor, Marrina, Black Knight, Dr Druid, Thor, She-Hulk team from Stern. And getting rid of Monica was clearly editorial influence. But Simonson also doesn’t seem to want to build on what Stern had been doing, he wants to write the Worst Roster.
I’m maybe being unfair.
But this story arc has been a drag.
This whole stupid time bubble story that isn’t even a story, its to foreshadow another future time bubble story Simonson wants to write, making its early appearance pointless except to get rid of characters he doesn’t want to write.
Nebula Kang forces the Avengers to go to some time bubble. Some Kangs hang onto the outside of a Quinjet and fall off (admittedly funny). The Avengers wrassle with Nebula Kang inside a Quinjet. Dr Druid dies. Then the Avengers go home and dissolve the team.
There are graceful ways to nudge a book towards what you want to be writing but this wasn’t it.
And I know there’s a lot more editorial pressure hitting the writers in this era and I don’t know how much of that was at play.
But so far? Simonson is not a good Avengers writer.
His run isn’t over. I’ll give the Worst Roster a fair shake.
Things that seem dumb conceptually can often be awesome. See, for example, Frog Thor, from good Thor writer Simonson.
There’s another East Coast Avengers issue next week because I have to sync the books up for Evolutionary War. A post that will probably kill me because the event crosses eleven annuals. I’ll only be giving a lot of focus to Avengers and West Coast Avengers but I’ll have to at least skim the other annuals since they all (supposedly) tell one story.
Ugh.
At least Dr Druid is dead forever.
That cheers me up.
Follow @essential-avengers because Dr Druid is dead forever. Like and reblog because Dr Druid is dead forever. Have any comments about Dr Druid and him being dead forever? I want to hear them!

Friends to Lovers: Intro and Donnie's Part
You had been close friends with the turtles for a quite a few years. It had been a typical damsel in distress scenario; you were walking at night and the Purple Dragons mugged you. That was until four large terrapins came to your rescue. You had been able to see what they looked like during the fight so they didn’t even try to hide in the shadows afterwards, what would have been the point? Of course, it did freak you out to see large turtles that were also ninjas, but you were able to shake it off pretty quick. People look different, these people just looked… very different. They were surprised when you walked up to them and hugged them, thanking them profusely. Honestly they thought maybe you hit your head. They stared at you, not sure what to say. Sure, they had made friends with Casey and April but there had been a lot more screaming involved. Mikey was the one to step forward.
“Wait, you’re not… scared of us?” He asked hesitantly.
You blinked up at him before flushing slightly.
“I have to admit, you guys threw me off for a minute…” you confessed, staring down at the pavement, “but you guys saved me, and I’m not scared of the heroes.”
You gave them a smile.
This excited Mikey, now he had the opportunity to make another friend! You asked if there was any way that you could repay the four for helping you. The turtle with the blue bandana insisted that it was nothing, they were doing their duty but that didn’t stop you from hearing the orange one speak up with his suggestion of pizza. You, being the stubborn person you are, insisted that you could at least get them food.
You had allowed them into your apartment and, while eating, learned the names of the turtles and more about who they were. You swapped numbers with Mikey, at his request, telling you to call if you needed help or if you ever wanted to hang out and get pizza. The other turtles were a little hesitant, but you had been kind so far and they saw no reason not to let Mikey make a new friend.
It started out with you and Mikey hanging out. He would come over to eat pizza, or show you how to ride a skateboard. You would go over to the lair and watch movies, play video games, or read comic books together. Mikey had very easily become one of your closest friends. Slowly the other boys started to join in on weekly movie nights. Before you knew it, it had seemed that you were over at the lair almost everyday. Splinter was thrilled. You were smart and level-headed, and the boys all loved you. You had gotten close to each of his sons in different ways.
With Mikey you encouraged the goofy side of him, the one that his brothers weren’t always thrilled about. You let him be himself and in return he calmed down and felt comfortable to express himself. He loved sitting on his bed and having conversations with you, it could be about anything and everything and nothing at all. He was able to open up with how he felt like he wasn’t good enough. Sure he could fight well, but he didn’t have the brains of Donnie, the strength of Raph, or the wisdom of Leo. He even cried when you told him that you could never imagine anyone replacing his beautiful smile, his bubbly attitude, or his kind and loving heart.
Leo and you shared similar interests in Sci-Fi, and both of you loved Space Heroes. You would meditate with him and he even got into doing yoga with you. After some time he started to let loose more, the pressure of being a leader not weighing him down quite as much around you. There were no expectations to take charge. You would talk often about the stresses he felt as leader, and he started to listen to his team more instead of forcing everything onto himself.
It was a rough start with Raph, but you started by asking him to teach you how to throw a proper punch. Overtime that slowly turned into boxing and endurance lessons. During your workouts he started to share how he felt, opening up to you about his emotions. He was elated when you had said that you agreed that Leo could be in the wrong. Leo was the leader, and he could be level-headed, but sometimes he was blind to others emotions and thoughts; he needed to realize he had a team to help him. Raph wasn’t used to others agreeing with him. Usually he felt he was in the wrong due to his overwhelming anger and temper. You helped him with breathing techniques, and just being his person to talk and vent to. Over time he was able to control his emotions and his temper better.
With Donnie you had started with simply listening to him. Sure, you didn’t always understand everything he was talking about, but were always able to get the basic gist. He loved when you would ask questions, or respond with, “Oh! So that means…” You frequently helped him with his experiments, even if it was just holding something Don would need. You made him healthy foods to eat when he stayed up late working instead of junk, and were able to, occasionally, get him to go to bed. When you were very serious you would make him a cup of tea and stand in front of whatever he was working on, refusing to let him work. Don would have easily been able to push you out of the way, but it touched him that you would go to such lengths for him, so he always went to bed as you asked.
Splinter has considered you a daughter, and while you spend a lot of time with his sons, you always make time to spend with him as well. You’ve sat and talked with him, meditated, even made your own little book club together. As a gift one Christmas you got him a customized tea set; white bone porcelain with blue-black ink portraits of cherry blossom trees. He teared up and pulled you into the biggest hug, which in turn made you cry. You’d gotten him, though he always tells you that you don’t have to, different teas to use for his collection, and he always makes you a cup when you're over.
To put it very lightly, the whole Hamato family loves you deeply, and you’ve made a special place in all of their hearts. There was one turtle, however, who’s heart belonged to you completely.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Donnie had been in love with you for quite awhile now. He couldn’t pinpoint the moment it happened; it started off slow, and continuously grew. By the time he was realizing what was happening he was already head over heels. There wasn’t any one thing that made you stand out, it was a culmination of who you were. The way you stood with your hip cocked to one side when you were trying to get him to go to bed. The way you bit your lip in thought whenever you worked. The way your hair fell, and the way you swept it behind your ear. It was the way you talked to him and always listened to his ramblings. It was your laugh when he made inside jokes, and it was that smile that he hoped to whatever Gods you only used for him. It was the way you had completely trusted them when they saved you, how you had extended a hand, and never faltered in your decision to do so. It was the way you cared so genuinely and were there when he was stressed or overworked. Long story short, the boy was hooked.
He watched from the station at his lab where he should have been working on a new battery for the shellraiser. The last one had been a hybrid battery of his own design, but with some of the stolen krang technology he hoped that he could advance the life and power of it even longer. Instead he was leaning one arm on the counter, his chin resting in his palm as he watched you (try) to follow along with some of the things he was working on.
“So…” you start, glancing at the workbench as if it would help you gather your thoughts, “If you can extract the… energy? From the laser, then you can use it to upgrade the shellraiser?”
You looked up at Donnie for confirmation. He grinned and sat up.
“Yes. Hypothetically the crystals that the Krang use could help me to build a sort of “supercapacitor” I guess you could call it, on a much larger, much more efficient scale. Maybe with this it would take months before it would ever even need a charge! Although, how to recharge is the next question…” Donnie continued to ramble quietly about the implications of his new technology.
You smiled and watched him, loving how wrapped up he got in his work and projects. It was one of the many, many things you’d found yourself to love about him. It sounded cliché, but you really loved everything about him. He was smart, he was kind, and damn was he cute. His brothers only ever gave him credit for his brains, but Donnie could sure as hell hold his own on the battlefield. He was almost as much of a jokester as Mikey, though his humor was a whole different genre. Over the many months you had grown closer and closer to the purple clad turtle, you only hoped it could go further.
The more you thought about it though, the more you realized Donnie would never make a move, if he even liked you that is, and that you would have to be the one to take the leap if you wanted any change of pace. You sighed at the thought.
He moved some tools around on the counter space, adjusting his glasses up the non-existent bridge of his nose. He smiled and jotted something down, talking more about the experiment.
You sighed, “Donnie, love, you have got to stop doing that.”
He paused and looked at you, head tilted in confusion, as far as he knew he hadn’t actually done something.
“I uh, what do you… what?”
“You have to stop saying things that make me want to kiss you.”
You tried to act casual about the crush you made apparent to one of your best friends, hands clasped behind you while biting the inside of your cheek.
Donnie’s mouth snapped shut. About a thousand responses were swirling in his head. He knew you would never joke about something like this, you would never intentionally hurt any of them. Did he really have an actual chance at a relationship with you? He watched your form as you started to slowly curl in on yourself, the growing silence making you think he didn’t like you. Obviously it was now or never.
“Why don’t you then?” He asked.
His voice was level, but his face put Raphael’s mask to shame. You grinned and leaned forward, placing your hand on his cheek and pulling him down to press your lips together. He hesitantly placed a hand on your waist, and when he got no complaint he pressed his hand flat against your lower back, pulling you towards him. His other hand went up to the base of your neck, holding your mouth to his as he urgently kissed you back. When you pulled away the two of you let out an airy, disbelieving laugh.
“So…” you murmured looking down, the blush creeping back.
Donnie grinned, “I think I’m going to have to say things that make you want to kiss me more often.”

Imagine
SG-1 are going on a routine mission to the next planet down the list. The MALP showed nothing but lush green fields as far as the eye could see and they’re all excited. Hopefully this planet will be a nice one, not corrupt with Goa’uld tyranny.
When they get through the gate, they arrive in this beautiful field they’d seen on the MALP. As the begin to walk around, they stop at a bridge per Daniel’s request. He notes that the writing on the walls is unlike anything he’d seen before. Jack looks at his friend sideways, not used to Daniel being puzzled by alien text.
“Well, that’s a new one.” Jack says, his signature O’Neill sarcasm not going unnoticed by Daniel.
“I’m serious, Jack. All the other places we’ve been, I’ve been able to pick out something, at least a symbol or a word! This is…” he gestured vaguely to the wall. “This might as well be gibberish.” He continued.
Jack sighed and rolled his eyes. “Well, figure it out or drop it, will ya? There’s a volcano over there that I can tell Cater’s itchin’ to get at, and there’s a castle in the distance that hopefully has someone in charge. We’re losin’ daylight!” Jack said, harshly. Daniel rolled his eyes and reluctantly turned away from his the runes.
They walked a while longer towards the castle, stopping occasionally for Sam to pick up a sample or for Daniel to video tape a wall. Suddenly, an arrow narrowly missed Teal’c head. The four dropped to the ground instantly and pulled themselves towards a nearby wall for cover. They heard the hooves of a horse and a man yelling to get the horse to go faster. Jack peered out at the man dressed in green on the horse, his bow at the ready and prepared to return fire. The man in green drew back his arrow and shot it off. A nearby growl made SG-1 collectively look back. They saw a monster behind them laying on the ground motionless.
The horse drew nearer and nearer before it stopped just on the other side of the wall they were huddled behind. They all had their weapons at the ready as they heard the man dismount his horse. The man in green rounded the corner, now unarmed. He stared at them for a time, their weapons seemingly meaning nothing to him. His goofy long hat blowing gently in the wind.
Daniel urged everyone to put down their weapons and made his way to the front of the group. He pointed at himself. “I’m Daniel. We’re explorers.” He explained. The man in green again said nothing. Jack grimaced.
“Not much of a talker, huh?” He asked. The man in green continued to stare at them. “Look, buddy, we just wanna know who’s in charge here and we’ll be on our way, alright?” He said. The man in green nodded.
“Sir, I don’t know if he knows English… maybe Daniel should try…” Sam urged.
Before Daniel had a chance to try any greetings in any other languages, the man in green pulled a giant fuck-off ball and chain out of seemingly nowhere and started swinging it around. They took cover again but Daniel was too slow and got hit as the man in green yelled “HYEAH!”. The last thing the others saw was the man putting his ball and chain back into ??? His pants I guess??? And proceeded to converse with his shadow. He then turned into a wolf and disappeared in little pieces up to the sky. This was going to be one hell of a report.

in the middle of a doctor who rewatch and jesus CHRIST the fourth season is tough to get through. to be clear, i do greatly enjoy this season. it has some of my absolute favorite episodes. but my god is it heavy almost all the way through. it starts off great with partners in crime, where donna comes back and they have a silly goofy time waving at fat, then it's just
fires of pompeii: the doctor and donna are forced to destroy pompeii, killing twenty thousand people in order to save the world. donna makes the doctor go back to save someone, anyone. she put her hand on his when they pulled the lever that set off vesuvius, but she will not share in destruction unless he shares in mercy.
planet of the ood: the doctor and donna discover the truth about the ood, that they have been crippled and enslaved against their will, that their "sickness" is actually rebellion. they watch innocents die, and fight with the ood. donna and the doctor are the only people who actually converse with the ood. everyone else gives them orders, or doesn't address them directly at all.
the sontaran stratagem/the poison sky: honestly i skipped over these two episodes because the ones that take place on modern day earth bore the shit out of me (also why i haven't seen torchwood), but it was another two episode "the earth is being invaded by hostile aliens" adventure which is never particularly lighthearted
the doctor's daughter: the doctor, donna, and martha encounter two species warring, and find out that the innumerable deaths and lifetimes of suffering have only occurred over the course of a week, because every "human" born there is actually grown from a vat of cloned dna and spit out fully formed, trained, and ready to kill and die for an unnamed and (to them) unimportant cause.
the unicorn and the wasp is the ONLY reprieve. fun silly times solving a murder with agatha christie, donna kisses the doctor right after he's eaten walnuts and sardines back to back, a silly goofy reveal of a thief, a liar, and a secret pregnancy, all in the style of a classic murder mystery novel.
AND THEN WE GET RIGHT BACK INTO THE HEAVY SHIT!
silence in the library/forest of the dead: i mean come on. i LOVE these episodes. the vashta nerada are one of the best "monsters" this show has ever conceived. home to such iconic lines as "hey, who turned out the lights?" and "count the shadows" and "donna noble has left the library. donna noble has been saved." these two episodes are incredible, and so, so scary, and so many people die. a lot of people live, too, but we're introduced to, fall in love with, and say goodbye to river song in these episodes, and she tells us that everybody knows that everybody dies, but it'll be a cold day in hell before the doctor accepts that.
midnight: the doctor and donna try to go on vacation. the doctor ends up trapped in a train car with several strangers, none of whom are particularly evil or even mean, and over the course of a few hours they manage to justify the murder of not one but TWO people they cannot even be sure are dangerous. it is one of the most terrifying and stressful episodes of new who for me, because i think it is so accurate to how people really operate when their only motivation is fear.
turn left: a "what if" episode where donna never met the doctor, he died trying to stop the racnoss queen from taking over the world, and thus didn't stop anything else from happening. martha and sarah jane both die in the hospital when the judoon drop it on the moon. the titanic hits london, blows up, and irradiates the entirety of southern england, forcing millions to relocate as refugees, and donna and her family are desolate. also rose is there to try and fix the timeline, which she does, when donna chooses to let herself die in order to change everything back.
the stolen earth/journey's end: the gang's all here! everything sucks so, so bad, everyone's dead or dying, planets have been kidnapped, the daleks are doing some fuckshit, some throwaway lines are woven into the narrative (the bees missing, lost moon of poosh, etc), the doctor gives up. martha tries to nuke the planet, doctor donna is born, saves the universe, and dies, and donna is abandoned like radioactive waste, to be avoided and forgotten forever. rose tyler is left on the beach of bad wolf bay, but this time the doctor finishes his sentence, and he stays with her.
again, i really like this season. but it's like a four course meal made entirely of meat. no vegetables, no fruit, no bread, nothing to drink. only steak. delicious, hard to digest, filling, and not easy to finish in a timely manner.
