3, 7, and 9 for dnd questions!!! - E, who was hoping you'd rb this so i could ask
ha! it seems I’ve fallen right into your trap… but you’ve fallen into mine as well! (asking me about dnd so I can talk about dnd and how cool my players are)
3. How do you come up with combats? Do you enjoy combat?
I love combat! Tactical thinking makes my brain go brr. I’m not super great at designing combat yet, I think, but that just takes practice. As for how I come up with stuff, I try to think of ways to both make the environment play a part (whether that’s choke points in doorways or terrain effects or what have you) and to make it make sense from a story perspective—your opponents generally have a purpose behind being in a fight, and I try to keep that in mind when I’m designing things. Which you’ll hopefully see when I finish getting the first Lancer session prepped, by the way >:) I intend to do some fun combat stuff there
7. What are you inspired by?
All sorts of things! I find inspiration can come from anywhere. Archipelago especially has a lot of stuff you guys haven’t discovered yet that’s based on music I was listening to when I created the world, and you know by now that I love to take the standard dnd forms and show that things are almost never so straightforward as you’d like
9. What's your favorite thing your players do?
The roleplaying!! You guys are fantastic roleplayers. I still think it’s so fun how I asked you guys to set watches so I could do random encounter checks and then you all decided to roleplay through them instead—much more interesting than fighting or scaring off random wolves and things, I have to say, and definitely some of my favorite moments.

The endless beginning
part two
scream VI fanfiction with implied ethan x oc!
find part one here. enjoy!
Tumblr media
Bright lights, warm bodies, and loud music consumes her senses as she stumbles her way through the house. As the group of friends have been enjoying attending silly frat parties, it has brought upon a new thrilling adventure for Amelie. She was not an alcoholic by any means, but it has helped her when she was feeling her emotions fervently and the ambience around her distracted her from the rave going on in her own head. She brings the red cup to her lips that she just finished topping up and takes a large gulp of the mixture, her red lipstick printing the rim. She passes by Mindy and Anika on the couch, sending them a wave as she passes by.
“You still doing alright there, Amie?” Mindy asks as Amelie throws her wave up. She pauses and drunkenly smiles.
“I am doing very good, Min,” She nods back, exaggerating the nickname as Mindy did. “I am actually on my way to dance, would either of you ladies care to join?”
Mindy shakes her head and chuckles lightly “No we are good here on the couch, Amie,” Mindy nods her head towards the living room “But go have fun, you deserve it. Plus, someone has to watch all of you idiots.”
Amelie giggles and sends a thumbs up their way, following with a blow of a kiss as she disappears into the next room. Amelie feels her heart swell when she notices how happy Mindy and Anika look together. Mindy deserves it, after all. Amelie met Anika through school, having coming to campus early in the summer to familiarize herself with the grounds and running straight into the small girl, spilling the coffee in her hand. Amelie panicked, eyes blown wide, and then apologized profusely. Anika, on the other hand, was as chill and laid back as she usually is and then offered to go and grab a coffee together to make up for the one that was now all over the ground and their shirts. Amelie was paranoid about the whole ordeal, but reassured herself that it would be okay since it is in the middle of the day and completely in public. It was so easy for Amelie to get along with Anika, like a long-lost bestfriend, and she was so glad that they had managed to run into each other that day on campus. From then, Anika was introduced to the rest of her friends and her and Mindy hit it off instantly.
Shortly after meeting Anika, Amelie and Mindy wearily opened up to her about what happened back in Woodsboro, and Anika nearly sobbed with them as they individually told her what they went through. Anika was an angel sent down from heaven, in Amelie's eyes, and she couldn't be more thankful for her just being herself. And she is sure that Mindy feels the same way too.
Amelie turns the corner to head to the living room and nearly collides with another body. She quickly pulls her cup away from her body, making sure that nothing spills from the cup. The tall figure in front of her grabs onto her biceps to steady the girl from tripping over and spews apologies.
"I am so sorry-"
"Oh my god, I'm sorry-"
The two start apologizing at the same time, and Amelie finally takes the time to look up from the ground and at the face of the boy she nearly just collided with. She takes note of his green and red stripped shirt, piecing that he was dressed as Freddy Krueger. Amelie also notices the way his light eyes make their way down her figure, probably trying to see her costume as well. Her short jean skirt and cropped ribbed tank feels almost non-existent as his eyes travel down and then up again. It was like no conversation was needed, they both were instantly intrigued with one another. Amelie was sure she should probably keep going on her way, with her curly headed friend still in mind. But, she also thought that maybe a distraction wouldn't be such a bad thing.
"I was just headed to get a refill, did you want to join?" The mystery boy takes a leap of faith and asks the girl. He almost looked nervous to ask Amelie, but she was sure that the alcohol in his system gave him the boost of confidence. His eyes were difficult to decipher in the flashing lights but she could make out the green hues in them. He was much taller than she was and had a very defined face, one that Amelie was quick to note as very attractive.
Should she be more hesitant about saying yes to hanging out with a boy she never met before, drunk? Yes. Should she just go back and plan to dance with her friends like she was planning? Probably. But, she was brought here to have fun and she figured that she might as well.
"I just refilled, but..." Amelie looks down at her cup and raises the rim to her painted lips, quickly drinking down the fruity liquor. She finishes her drink with only a couple of gulps and raises the empty cup up between the two. Amusement dances in the eyes of the boy and a small smirk appears on his lips. "...I think I could use another."
"So, what is your name mystery man?" Amelie grabs onto his hand and drags the two back towards the kitchen. Sweaty bodies bump into the pair, but they prevail nonetheless and make it to the keg. As Amelie walks past the living room again with a boy in tow, she passes by Mindy and Anika again. The couple look at Amelie, then at each other and share a smirk. They would be more worried about her going off with a random boy if she went somewhere more private, but the kitchen? They could keep tabs on.
"Dean," the smirk never falls from his lips and he is quick to fill up his cup with a new beverage. "And yours, cowgirl?"
He flicks his free hand up to lightly knock the rim of her brown cowboy hat. Amelie is truly not sure what she is doing, she has never initiated or kept a conversation with a complete stranger. A cute stranger.
A matching smirk makes its way onto Amelie's pretty, red lips. She shrugs with one shoulder, "hmm, might just keep you guessing."
Dean lets out a breathy chuckle at that and nods his head in understanding. Hard to get, it seems. And with how extra pretty Amelie looks tonight, Dean was willing to go along with it. But she was more than just pretty, she was intriguing.
Dean takes a step closer to the girl and Amelie almost feels like she should back away, but decides that she shouldn't need to.
"Alright then cowgirl, you go to school here?"
"I do. Not in a frat, thought. Are you?"
"I am, yeah-" A frat boy. A pretty boy like him being in a frat makes perfect sense. Dean takes notices of the look that covers her face, and nods. "-hmm, I see that look on your face."
Amelie feigns ever making an expression and innocently looks up at Dean. "Yup, I'm a frat guy. But I promise you I actually have a personality beyond just hooking up with girls and being a douchebag."
Now it was Amelie's turn to let out a chuckle at his words. "Guess we will have to see about that."
"We will?" Dean smirks at her again and Amelie feels her tummy flip. She raises her cup to her lips again and takes a sip from her new drink. Their eyes staying in contact through this whole interaction. Maybe it was the alcohol, maybe it was Dean, but she was feeling warm.
"We'll see. Still not quite sure if you're worth my time," Amelie smirks. She was proud of herself, she has never been so confident in front of a boy before and she is finally enjoying talking to a complete stranger.
"Ouch," Dean feigns a pained expression and places his hand on his heart, hunched as if he was actually in pain. "Guess I will just have to prove it."
While Amelie was proud of herself for flirting back so well, it came so natural to Dean. Maybe he does this to every girl he finds interest in at a party, but Amelie does not care all that much right now. Suppose she will be one of the many, but she was enjoying this way too much to try and be prideful right now.
The distance between the two somehow got even more nonexistent as they conversed, and Amelie wasn't too sure when it had happened. Dean places his cup on the table beside them and reaches over to grab Amelie's out of her hand as well, placing it next to his own. His face close to hers, she can smell the alcohol coming from him and she closes her eyes as he nears his lips closer to hers.
"Amelie," Her eyes open to gauge his reaction. The smirk from his lips finally rests into a drunken smile and his eyes shimmer in the dark.
"Pretty name for a pretty girl."
Their voices have settled into whispers at this point and Amelie has never wanted to step out of her comfort zone more than this moment right now.
"Well, Amelie..." Dean places a hand on her hip, above the waistband of her skirt and swipes his thumb on her exposed skin. "...Can I kiss you?"
Amelie doesn't bother responding and reaches up on her toes to press her lips against Dean's. The two spend the next couple of minutes groping each other and share a hot, passionate makeout session, just like you would see in the movies at a typical college party. Amelie has kissed people before, that is no secret. But, she hasn't kissed enough to really compare all of her experiences with each other. Dean feels so nice against her skin and is kissing her so well, but for some reason Amelie can't help and let her mind wander. She feels as if she needs this, she has not let loose even a little since moving to New York, and she has been craving the moment where she can finally not give a fuck.
But, fuck. As much as she is enjoying this moment and the feeling, the taste of Dean, but can't help and wonder if this is what it would feel like to kiss her curly haired friend. Ethan Landry has had a chokehold on Amelie since she first met him a couple of months ago when Chad invited her over to check out his dorm and meet his roommate. She feels so guilty that she even had a different guy in her mind while her lips were touching someone else's.
"Get it, Amie!"
Amelie springs apart from the boy and licks her lips. Dean flinches back when he felt Amelie pull back in such a hurry, but his hand remains on her hip still.
"Tara!" Amelie turns her head and notices the small girl grinning at her. Amelie sends her a sheepish smile, almost feeling guilty for being caught swapping tongues with a random boy.
"No, no, don't worry. I am not here to stop you. Just came to get some more alcohol..." Tara continues to smile at the girl and slowly advances backwards, stumbling into a wall next to her. "...and be on my merry-way."
Amelie turns to Dean once Tara leaves and chuckles. "I am so sorry about her."
Dean shares the laugh with Amelie and shakes his head in dismissal. Amelie wasn't too stoked about being interrupted from kissing Dean, but she was also glad because it got her to stop her guilty thoughts about Ethan.
So, if Amelie was going to keep herself distracted still, then she wasn't going to stop now. She trails the hand she placed on his chest down to his hand and smiles up at her, her lipstick made its way onto his lips.
"How about we go do my original plan, and dance?"
"Only if you can keep up." Dean smirks again and Amelie reaches her other hand to wipe some of her red lipstick off his mouth with her thumb.
"Oh, of course I can, Krueger."
Amelie and Dean make their way through a clump of moving bodies and eventually blend in. The two move to the music, keeping their body close. Amelie feels so good and so free, as she dances with Dean, drunk.
As she moves, she can feel eyes burning on her from somewhere else in the room and looks around. Just a couple of feet away, leaning by the archway is Chad and Ethan whose eyes are on her. She smiles at the two and then continues to dance with the man in front of her.
“You know you are painfully obvious, right?” Chad eyes Ethan from beside him and smiles as he talks. Ethan takes his eyes off Amelie and stares at Chad with wide eyes.
“Wha-what are you talking about?” Ethan stutters back. He sneaks glances back at Amelie as she dances so close with a guy neither of them recognize, awaiting anxiously for Chad to reply. Chad gives him a pointed look and nudges his arm with his own.
“Oh please, since the day you met her, you have been in love. I swear, drool comes out a little more each time you stare,” Chad shrugs with a smirk on his face, gesturing with his finger to his mouth and chin. Ethan’s eyes widen even more than they already were.
“Uh, I absolutely do not! I just-just think she is…pretty is all,” Ethan replies with a shake in his voice. Not convincing at all, great. Chad once again gives him another pointed look. “Who even is that guy with her anyways? Do we know him?"
Chad raises an eyebrow in suspicion at his roommate, way to pretend that you are totally not interested in her.
"Uh, no, I-I don't know who that is," Chad replies with slight uncertainty and a shake of his head. He squints his eyes as he looks at the boy who has his hands rested on Amelie's hips and takes notice of his face. "Looks like they got up to more than just a close dance."
Ethan's head has never turned so fast to look at Chad when he utters those words, and then back in Amelie's direction. "What?!"
"There's a little..." Chad points to his own mouth to show where Dean had some of Amelie's lipstick smudged on him. Ethan looks closely at the boy and notices the red smudges and feels his heart sink. Of course she would like someone like him, he thinks. But he can't help and glade daggers at the boy, wishing so bad that it was him she was dancing so close to.
“Look, she is just drunk and has had a lot going on the past year. She's just...” Chad takes notice of his friends hard expression. A brief paused is followed after his words, trying to think of a way to say his next sentence. "...she is probably just trying to distract herself, is all."
Ethan tries to listen to Chad's words but they don't make him feel much better. A disgusting, jealous feeling overwhelms his entire body and he wishes that he could catch a moment where Dean is all alone. Wipe that stupid smirk off his face when he sees the Ghostface mask and cut his fucking hands off for ever touching Amelie.
“Or maybe.. She also likes you? And is trying to distract herself from her feelings for you,” At that, Ethans head snapped back up to Chad's direction. Chad's expression was appearing too hopeful and his tone wasn't very convincing, but Ethan can only hope that his words held some truth to them. "I know she finds you cute."
Chad knows Amelie would kill him if she had heard him tell Ethan that, but his poor friend looked so crushed.
"What?" Ethan widens his eyes.
"She, uh, she told me when she first met you that she finds you really cute."
"Oh," Ethan's shoulders sag a little at that idea. Hope, at last.
Chad quickly notices the tray of shots behind him and grabs two for him and his friend. He passes a small shot glass to Ethan as he begins to make a small toast.
“Alright cheers, man, to the dynamic duo of the Fourth Tenth's tower, third floor, room three-one-five!” They cheered and took the shot together. As Chad grimaces at the rough taste that alcohol accompanies, Ethan spits his back into his cup.
With the adrenaline the shot brought upon, Chad starts again, “alright, maybe we should start getting you to make some moves, yeah? Get you out there, maybe someone new? How about it?”
The pair look back at Amelie still moving along with the the tall boy in the Freddy Krueger costume, but Chad gestures to the girls around her.
“She’s gorgeous,” Ethan says with a smile, pink creeping onto his cheeks.
“Right, go up to her. Ask her out,” Chad replies quickly, wingman of the year. Ethan quickly realizes that Chad is talking about the girl in a Harry Potter costume, to the right of Amelie, but Ethan can only keep his eyes on his friend. Ethan denies, saying he just can’t do it and the pair bicker back and forth about Ethan’s capabilities of asking a girl out.
"Got to have confidence! Look at you, man! You're a snack, practically an entire meal, all on your own!"
"Really?" Ethan's eyes shine at Chad's words.
Amelie finally looks back to the two boys, still feeling the heat of their eyes. She lets Dean know that she will be right back, and was going to check up on her friends standing by the entry. Ethan's eyes widen when he realizes the girl is making her way towards them.
“Hello boys,” Amelie steps closer to them, standing next to Chad. The boys look quickly over to see Amelie has joined and she looks drunk. Amelie glances up and tips her matching cowboy hat down at Chad “Howdy partner.”
"Amie!" Chad repeats the action and tips his hat back to her. Amelie was really not feeling going to this party, and tried to convince her friends further when she told them that she didn't have a costume. Chad, brilliantly trying to convince her, that she doesn't need a whole unique outfit and could just match with him to make her feel better. Once Chad came up with the idea, he seemed so excited to match with Amelie that she couldn't say no.
"Our friend here-" Chad pats Ethan on his cardboard chest piece "-is a total snack, right?"
"Wha-what? Chad!-" Ethan looks at the man incredulously.
"Uh, yeah, yeah," Amelie nods her head at the boys. Her tummy flutters at the idea of having to compliment Ethan, in front of him at that, and blush rises to her cheeks. It was also so odd that Chad had asked her that, but she figures that it has to do with their previous conversation before she joined. "Yeah, Ethan, you're a whole snack. I mean, maybe even a whole meal!"
"That's what I said!" Chad smiles bright and nudges Ethan with his shoulder. "Ugh, I have taught you well, Amie."
"Shut up," Amelie chuckles. Chad repeats the action. “You look like you’re having a wonderful time."
“I am having a spectacular time,” the smile remains large on her face and her eyes small and squinted. Chad points to her lips and raises an eyebrow. Her eyes widen at what he was suggesting and smiles sheepishly. "Oh, uh, yeah. That's Dean."
Dean, a stupid name for his stupid face. Ethan scowls upon hearing his name and resists the urge to roll his eyes.
She blinks her eyes and stretches them open, trying to widen her blurry vision. She turns her head to Ethan, who is already staring at her, and smiles up at him. “I like your costume, Ethan! You’re a…?”
“It's supposed to be a knight," Ethan says, almost embarrassed. He felt like a total loser at this party and he was sure that he looked like one to Amelie, too. "I, uh, I made it, pretty last minute."
"Well, I like it," Amelie smiles at Ethan. She found it so cute that he was embarrassed by his costume, and the way his cheeks turned pink when she complimented him. "I didn't expect for you to come to a party, especially one like this."
"Yeah, I wasn't going to come but Chad convinced me last minute,” Ethan rolls his eyes at the boy, but a smile still remains. "I could say the same to you, though."
"Yeah, same with you. I wasn't gonna come but Chad and Tara convinced me."
"Well, I'm glad to hear I wasn't the only one forced here," Chad subtly nudges Ethan's arm and flickers his eyes down to Amelie’s costume. “Your-your costume is nice, also. You look pretty.”
Chad smiles pleasantly to himself, proud of his roommate as Ethan is mentally kicking himself in the head repeatedly. You look pretty, your costume is nice, God you sound like a total loser. Amelie smiles at him as a light pink flush creep up her neck and onto her cheeks as well.
“Oh, thank you,” She replies, seemingly brighter than she was before. She nudges Chad before saying, "I think I rock it better than Chad, actually."
God I am screwed. Ethan knew he always had a thing for her the second he saw her. She was just different, as cliché as it sounds, different from everyone else he has met. She smiles and he swears his stomach feels like it just flipped around. It’s hard for him to be around her and not blush when she merely takes a glance at him. He was pinning and he was pinning hard, but he was worried that she would never feel the same way. She held herself differently than her friends and although he could tell (from what he has heard) that sometimes she has a difficult day and wants to be by herself, she was also just so much cooler than he was. And hey, even if all she finds him is cute or attractive or whatever, at least he has been seen by her. He just prays to whoever was listening to him, that this Dean guy was just a one time thing, drunk at a party.
Amelie’s head was spinning. She was drunk and being around Ethan made her feel even more intoxicated. She knew she shouldn’t be feeling the way she was, the last time she seriously liked a boy, they were brutally murdered by the hands of her best friend. And, she was just grinding it up with a few just a couple of feet away. But it was done, it happened, and it is over with. But something about Ethan’s kind demeanour and pretty smile that made her feel all fuzzy inside whenever he was around. She hides it well though, she thinks at least. She has been so weary of letting new people into her life that her distance around him was noticeable, but it doesn’t seem to stop her little feelings blossoming inside of her.
Ethan and Amelie have grown close over the past couple of months, even hangout sometime just the two of them or go to campus and study together. So, it wasn't awkward between the two, in fact Amelie would say that Ethan has become one of her best friends.
The conversation between the two ended fast as Anika comes around the corner and lets Chad know he is needed. Amelie begins to follow behind Chad but quickly turns around where she sees Dean standing where she left him and gives him a sorry expression. She mouths, I have to go, emergency. Sorry. See you around. Dean looks kind of lost as he watches her, but gives her a smile nonetheless. Ethan stands behind Amelie, watching the interaction and continues to unintentionally glare at the boy.
A commotion breaks out as Chad tries to stop Tara from going upstairs with some creep named Franky where, Amelie rushes to her side as she sees Tara trip on a step. Sam eventually comes and tases the guy in the balls, leaving Franky rolling around on the ground in main, yelling out how Sam is a bitch.
“Sam, are you fucking kidding me? You’re stalking me now,” Sam turns to see Tara furious at her. She glances at Amelie as she shrugs her shoulder at Sam with a small grimace on her face. Tara walks away from the crowd as some guy begins another round of commotion.
“Holy shit, it’s that psycho girl!” the guy gasps and glances to beside her where Amelie stands. “It’s that fucking cops’ daughter too!”
She suddenly feels a lot sober than she did before as her eyes widen and she rushes to follow Tara, Sam following closely behind.
“Tara, will you stop?” Sam calls out to her younger sister who strides angrily ahead of her.
“I cannot believe you did that, you embarrassed me,” Tara calls back but doesn’t slow down her steps.
“That guy was a dick, he was gonna take advantage of you.”
“So?”
“So?!”
Ethan looked down at Amelie beside him and furrowed his eyebrows. She looked disturbed with her eyebrows scrunched and the heavy frown weighing down her lips. She felt his gaze and glanced up at him. As the sisters continued to argue he whispered,
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah,” She nods “I’m alright.”
“Are-are you sure?” he looks at her with nothing but concern “I know you drank a lot, and that idiot back there-”
She cracks a small smile this time and interrupts. “No, yeah. I promise I’m good, it takes more than that to crack me. Thank you, though. I-I appreciate it; you asking.”
He smiles back at her, seemingly to be relieved that she reassured she is alright. He assumes she was bothered by the people back at the party and now the sisters arguing but she doesn’t want to let him know. Which is okay, he isn’t bothered by it and understands if she doesn’t want to mention it. He has just learned from hanging out with her so much that she hates when people mention her dad around her without her being the one to bring him up. Especially, if it was in a way that also involved the Ghostface murders.
Beside them the rest of their friends stay standing, watching the Carpenter sisters continue hashing it out. Amelie zones back into their conversation after hearing Tara refer to her.
“Because I’m uninterested in living in the past like you guys are!” Tara exclaimed and glanced between Sam and Amelie.
“What’s that supposed to mean?” Sam said quizzically. Amelie stepped forward to stand beside Sam, her eyebrows furrowed. She had a funny feeling that Tara was also referring to her in the 'you guys'.
“Hey guys-“ Chad attempts to insert himself to halt the argument from expanding further which quickly gets dismissed as Tara continues talking.
“It means I’m not going to let what happened to us for three days define the rest of my life,” Tara finally lets out tiredly. Amelie rubs the side of her neck where a scar lays, light pink and prominent.
“So, you’re just going to pretend it never happened?” Amelie replies to Tara. She seems to be in disbelief when she poses the question. Amelie isn't quite sure why she has gotten involved in this argument, she didn't even say or do anything. Along with Sam, Amelie is beginning to feel frustrated now. It seems like Tara isn’t feeling the same pain and angst that they were about everything that happened last year. Sam glances back at Amelie where they briefly make eye contact, seeming to understand each other’s emotions. While Amelie was the same age as Tara, she always seemed to be closer to Sam. Maybe it be because they both share similar feelings in everything, that they have familiar ties with the original Woodsboro murders, or they both spent a night comforting each other, it wasn’t clear. But Amelie found comfort in Sam and Sam seeked to comfort Amelie, almost seeing herself in her.
Tara pauses and sighs while looking at Amelie, more specifically her scar on her neck. She answers more gently this time “No, no of course not but I am just saying that for me, I cannot let this drag me down when I am trying to move forward. I mean, earlier, you were doing that too! That guy you were with...”
“Look, Tara, I get it, I do trust me. I am also here to try and move on with my life to get past everything that has happened” Amelie finally speaks up, interrupting her from continuing her sentence about Dean. Tara was trying to get Amelie to understand her, bringing up that even she is doing what Tara is trying to. With a gentle voice and soft eyes, she looks at Tara as she talks “It is okay to want to do that, but you can’t just take this out on your sister. You’re also allowed to be upset about last year.”
“I am not upset!” Tara exclaimed, almost feeling betrayed that Amelie was almost taking Sam's side. She shut her eyes and sighed heavily again, deciding to change the topic. She began again, lowering her voice “What are you doing here, Sam? In New York? You-you’re working two shitty jobs to help with rent, whatever, but what’s your plan?”
Sam doesn’t get the chance to answer and continues to look at Tara. The younger girl continues, looking at Amelie now “And you Amelie? Your mom is back California! You have a family to go to, but you decide to come to New York and do school, to what? So, you can stay here with us?”
“You are asking me why I came here to New York with you guys? Why I don’t want to stay back in California where I lost almost everything? Back to a mom who doesn’t want to be around her daughter?” Amelie’s eyes harden as she tries to suppress her emotions rising. The alcohol in her system is making her want to cry more but she refuses. If Tara wants to be all tough, then she will, too. Amelie scoffs and shakes her head, “You guys are my family, Tara. And in case you forgot, I also wanted to go to school.”
“Amelie, you could have gone to any other school in California! You want to leave Woodsboro to leave what happened but then come here with us? We are the past!” She knew that Tara was making sense. They are the past, but they are also what is helping her move on. Since losing the one family member that cared about her the most, Tara, Sam, Mindy, and Chad have shortly become the people she cared about most, her own family. So reasonably, Tara’s words are a lot more hurtful than she is letting on.
Amelie jumps when she feels a hand on her shoulder and looks back to see Ethan, concern laced in his eyes. She looks defeated at Tara’s words and nods her head, deciding to stay quiet. She wants to continue disagreeing with Tara and scream that what she was saying was not true. That she is here to stay with the people that cared for her and to go to school to live her own life, but she doesn’t. Amelie takes Ethan’s hand on her shoulder and grasps it with her own. His eyes widen at her action but makes no move to let go. She could use a hand to hold, and he willingly would volunteer any day.
“Do you really know what you are doing? I know what I’m going to do! Okay, cause I’m-I’m going to keep on with college and get my degree and live my life. My life. Okay, I know,” Tara begins again staring at Amelie and then looks back to Sam. Sam slightly nods her head at her words but also remains quiet.
“You just followed me here and won’t let me out of your sight,” Tara looks at Sam pointedly.
“Just trying to look out for you,” Sam says defeated.
“I-“ she begins and then frustratedly runs her hands down her face. She tries to calm down so her next words don’t sound as harsh as they have been. Maybe she was being too harsh, but she was frustrated and the alcohol in her system was not easing any nerves “I know, I know you are. You can’t do it for the rest of my life though. You have to let me go.”
Tara looks back at Amelie and says again, “You also have to let me go. Let it go.”
Amelie squeezes Ethan’s hand harder at that. She knows she does, but it is just too hard for her to do it so easily as Tara has.
“Hey!” Some girl calls out as her and her friends walk by the group. She proceeds to throw her cup of alcohol on Sam, some of it making it onto Amelie “Murderer!”
Amelie gasps as the cool drinks settles onto her skin, the stickiness already itching at the flesh.
“What the fuck is wrong with you, you bitch!” Sam calls out, being held back by Chad as she pushed forward. Anika also grabs a hold of Mindy as she starts spitting words back to the stranger. The groups yelling back and forth.
“You got a problem with me?” Sam calls back angrily. Amelie lets go of Ethan to stand beside Sam and grabs her hand from advancing any further.
“They’re not fucking worth it,” Amelie says to Sam, shaking her head. Sam squeezes her hand hard to control the emotions she is feeling, trying her best to not lash out at the dumb girl who felt the need to open her mouth. 
“You guys should stay away from her she knows what she did,” The girl looks at the friends around Sam. She looks at Amelie and scoffs “Can’t believe you hang around this bitch who sliced your daddy all up.”
Amelie swore her heart dropped out of her ass. Her friends around all widened their eyes and Anika let out a gasp. “That was a bit much, you fucking bitch” Mindy says as Anika strengths her force to keep from Mindy barreling at the girl.
Ethan also looked shocked at the audacity the girl in front of them seemed to have. His eyes glared at her, wishing he could do more than just stand there and watch as Amelie’s expression fell. His blood boils, mad at the seemingly continuing list of people who have hurt Amelie's feelings so much within the last hour of the night. The things he wish he could do to fix that.
Her face plummeted and anger rose in her faster than it has this entire evening. “Go fuck yourself.”
“I didn’t fucking do anything!” Sam yells back one last time before the group of girls split off. She looks to the girl still holding her hand, now squeezing Sam’s hand just as hard as she was earlier. “I am so sorry, Amie.”
Amelie had tears lining in her eyes, whether it be from the crude comment, the anger she felt from it, or the sadness of the cruel memory. She shakes her head and finally looks at Sam, “Don’t be, it-it’s not your fault. I know you didn’t do anything, I was there remember? They are just some stupid girls who will believe anything they hear.”
Sam gives the girl a light smile, appreciative that at least she believes so. The group of friends began to walk away back to Sam’s apartment, Sam squeezing Amelie’s hand one last time before letting go.
“I-I-I have tissues if you want?” Ethan perks up from beside them, having waited for the girls as the rest of the group walked away. He looks down at the tissues he pulled out of his pocket and seemed to begin counting them, awkwardly he says “I have three tissues.”
Sam takes them and pats herself to rid her skin of the sticky substance. She passes one to Amelie to clean off the small bit of drink that had splashed onto her. The shorter girl takes it thankfully and begins to pat her arm down.
Sam glances up at Ethan who is still standing there and gives him an irritated look. Ethan takes this as his cue to leave and begins following the group ahead of him. He hears footsteps catch up to him from behind and sees Amelie make her way closer to him.
“Thanks, Ethan,” Amelie gives a flat smile and raises the tissue slightly to show her thanks for them.
Ethan glances at her for the second time with concern in his eyes. “I know I already asked you this but are you doing okay? Those people are just assholes, trying to get a rise out of you all.”
Amelie nods her head again, as she did last time and then scrunches her eyebrows. Maybe she felt like it was going to be okay but, in this moment, she was upset and mad at those people who caused a disruption, at the comment about her dad, at the way they just blamed Sam for everything, and at the small argument she had with Tara.
“No, you know I am not doing great, actually,” She lets out a breathy laugh but there was no humour behind it. Fuck it, she thinks. Ethan opens his mouth to reply but closes it as she rests her head on his shoulder. “Let's just go home, please.”
Ethan’s heart races and his head can’t form a coherent thought. She has done this with him plenty of times, even with their other friends, so it wasn't unusual. But right now, it is clear that she just wants some comfort, may it be more than usual because she has alcohol in her system he isn’t too sure, but he won’t complain. It is him who has her head on his shoulder right now, not that Dean guys. So, he places his stiff, cardboard arm around her shoulders and nods his head at her. The pair start to trail after their group in quiet and for the first time in this whole night, Amelie feels at peace.

The idea of Legend being older than Wars and maybe even Twi is so funny to me for some reason I actually cannot 😂😭💀
You know, you're right.
I usually enjoy having him as a young teen, but him being an adult could be fun.
I wrote a lil ficlet for you, btw! I hope you like it!
Age doesn’t matter. 
Not really, not in their group. 
There are some times where it does, like when they go to a bar or that one time in a shady town where Time made Legend and Warriors go to a brothel together (he’d protested but of course Time didn’t listen to it) to retrieve information, but most times it’s fine. The only age people think about it Wind’s, and even that is unnecessary.  
Yes, Wind is a child, but when Legend was his age he’d already gone on three adventures and had a pretty good handle on his life, so he’s willing to accept that Wind might as well. Sure, the sailor is still living with his grandmother half of the time, but he had been too at that age. Wind is also helping to found a kingdom and successfully killed Ganondorf, he’s got what it takes to make it, Legend isn’t worried about him. 
Naturally though, in a group with so little regard for ages, he’d expected them to just roll with it when they found out about his. 
He was wrong. 
They didn’t. 
Honestly, it wasn’t that big of a deal! They were in his Hyrule for a time and had stopped by his house the night before, and they found out the morning after when Ravio had told him it was their birthday, it shouldn’t have been a big deal. 
But apparently it is. 
“You’re how old today?” Warriors asked again, staring at the little apple tarts Ravio had made as a birthday breakfast. Honestly, it wasn’t necessary, and he hasn’t cared to celebrate in years, but it matters so much to Ravio so he usually goes along with it. 
“We’re thirty today!” Ravio answered chipperly. Too chipperly. Seriously, it’s stupid early in the morning and he has no clue how his house-mate can possibly have this much energy. 
Is this because of the coffee? He’s blaming the coffee. 
“Thirty?” It’s not the first time the captain has said it like that, and as he passes, he takes a moment to pop the man’s jaw back in place. Hopefully it will stay closed, he does not have the energy for Warriors’ dramatic reactions just yet. 
“Yes. I’m thirty years old, today apparently.”  
Oh bless the heavens! Ravio made him tea! He sneaks a nod of thanks at his friend as he snatches the mug from its place. It’s still hot, steaming, but the burn is worth it for some life-giving caffeine to help him wake up enough to face the day. 
“Happy birthday!” Wild and Wind both say, very politely. Gremlins, what are they planning? 
“How are you thirty?” Warriors asks again. Seriously, was the point not made? Is it not yet established that he is, in fact, thirty years old? Sure, it was a bit of a surprise when Ravio reminded him this morning when they woke up, but honestly, was he supposed to be keeping track? 
“Simple, I was born thirty years ago, today, and I’ve managed to stay alive until now,” and with as much false enthusiasm as he can muster, he adds, “whoo hoo for me.” 
“Whoo hoo for you.” Hyrule agrees, apparently unironically as he smiles at his mentor. 
Warriors stares at him. “But, you’re....” 
“Eternal baby face, captain,” he drawls over the rim of his mug, “I can’t exactly help it.” 
The rest of the chain still seems to be in shock, so he turns his attention away from them and towards joining Ravio for breakfast. The others follow, albeit slowly, Wind and Wild only because they didn’t realize the meal was meant for all of them, and the others because they’re still apparently processing his age. 
“He’s thirty years old, I cannot flipping believe he is thirty.” The captain mutters. “he bit me just last week for touching his ice rod, I could’ve sworn he was twelve.” 
Ravio chuckles into his coffee. “You bit him?” 
“Yep. He deserved it.” 
A fist is offered, and though he rolls his eyes, he knocks it with his own. “Nice.” 
There are snickers around them, Wind and Wild exchanging glances while Tiem finally sits down at the table and looks him dead in the eyes. “Welcome to the Old Man club, Legend.” 
He might or might not make some rude gestures as he slurps his tea, but he’s an adult, it doesn’t matter, just as long as Hyrule doesn’t see it. 
The rest of them finally sit down, Warriors last with Twilight tugging him by the arm. The captain promptly drops his head into his hands, but otherwise he seems to be processing everything pretty well. Well, pretty well for Warriors. 
“You know,” Hyrule muses around his apple tart, crumbs sticking to his lips as they eat, “I’ve always found it funny.” 
“Found what funny?” Ravio asks, innocently. 
“That Legend is younger than me.” Comes the return as Hyrule bites into the last of his tart. 
There is a muffled scream from Warriors’s seat.

So with the end of Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger I decided what it would be like if Super Sentai was part of Monsterverse, not Power Rangers, but Sentai. And so I thought it would be fun to make that Sentai being King-Ohger for its much more unique setting.
For this hypothetical concept, there will be some precedent to set up before hand. In this hypothetical Monsterverse, we have already introduced Ultraman and Gamera – this will in no way influence King-ohger’s inclusion, but since we are already taking in massive amount of fanstasy to make this concept into reality, might as well go all out.
I will refer to the characters by their King-Ohger names. While there is some precedent that names would be changed, it seems like it would be easier to keep everything clean by just referring to their original names.
While this post would be solely focusing on the King-Ohger stuff, I will go over some Monsterverse crossover including “set up” for the Kings in Prior MV movies. This is just so that the movie just doesn’t come out of nowhere in this universe, but I will keep the stuff contained to the universe of the franchise so there won’t be any reference to a “Gamera movie” outside of some generic stuff.
I will only go over just the first movie, and the first “Crossover” movie for this Cinematic universe plus some ideas for the King-Ohger sequel. I will also put out some ideas and concepts for endgame stuff, but that’s about it.
***Set Up***
Monarch Series – Set during a post-Godzilla vs Kong timeline, a researcher from Monarch discovers that there are ruins of what seems to be an ancient human civilization that had been wiped out a long time ago in hollow earth. Upon researching this lost civilization he learns of its demise was due to Dagded. This character will be the Racles stand in.
Mothra: Infestation – In this hypothetical movie, Mothra will team up with Battra to stop the Megaguirus Infestation. In this film, there would be several appearances of many insect type of Kaiju including Scylla and Kumonga. This could even be used to set up Legion for a Gamera movie. During the film, there are appearances of the Shugods: God Kumos #1 and #2, God Tentou Twins, and God Ant.
Monsterverse Crossover King-ohger stinger – During this film (let’s say “Destroy All Monsters”) a strange monarch character gets some strange screen time. At the end of the film, the narrator narrates the last bit of the film in regards to there being many mysteries still left to be discovered in “Hollow Earth” and that “History will soon repeat itself” and as it does, there is a panning shot of the ruins of an ancient civilization as we get a close up of what seems to be a sword in a stone. And the famous last words before the screen cuts to black “Or so the story goes.” The narrator in this case being obviously Monsterverse’s Jeremie who, as an immortal, has worked his way under Monarch.
And now we begin. King-Ohger.
**Basic Story**
The premise of the first film is simple. It adapts the first arc of the King-Ohger series. It also sets God Hopper, God Scorpion, and God Kabuto for the first post-king Monsterverse crossover. This film will also use elements from the “Heaven’s Adventure” film. Character story is going to shrewed more closer to the first pacific Rim film, rather than the 2017 YA Power Rangers film. This will allow for the characters to still be more exaggerated and fit the tone that the Monsterverse seems to be going for now. Keeping with the traditional non-traditional aspects of King-ohger, the team won’t necessarily be a full team, but will soon be united under the “King of Kings” Titan “Kingojer”.
In this “Monsterverse” Au, the main team of Rangers are just regular people that get brought into Hollow Earth as they are brought into ruins of ancient human civilization that lived there a long time ago. These civilizations are this universe version of Shuggodam, Ishabana, Gokkun, Toufu, N’kosopa. The characters are forced the face the trials of the kings and their own shadows in order to take on the mantels of the kings if the world is to survive the coming of an Omega (Dagded) that once destroyed Hollow Earth’s humanity.
Meanwhile, even beneath hollow earth (I know, right? *Can we get much deeper\~*) there is an awakening of the Bugnarok as Desnarok wants to destroy the civilization above. We see the familiar Monarch character watching from afar, Spider Kumonos wont be a thing until the sequel.
As each of the king’s overcome their trials, their Corresponding shuggods appear before them as they each pull the swords. Each Shuggod bows as they accept the new kings. Meanwhile the Bugnarok rise from the ground and attacks the kings, leading to their first transformation. Last is “Gira” as he faces his trial. Then he is finally able to become king as Kuwagata chooses him and clear it.
Then as for final battle, I’m stuck on whether or not it would be a regular Bugnarok monster, or Desnarok himself. In King-ohger, he is the 8th, everytime he is destroyed in the Monsterverse, what remains may be able to regenerate into the next generation of Desnarok (so you get 7th, 8th, 9th, etc). Until he is ultimately wiped out by Dagdud.
The final battle explodes out of hollow earth and into the city above, getting scenes very reminiscent of Episode 2 of King-ohger. Also get scenes of Guardian Rolling, and Guardian Snail. With the apparent defeat of Bugnarok, the Kings are then surrounded by Monarch Soldiers, leading into the next big Monsterverse crossover.
Mid credits: You have a scene of the Monarch researcher, Racles, looking into the ruins in regard to lost Shuggods: Hopper, Kabuto, and Scorpion.
Post credit scene: Desnarok is preparing for the for the massive attack around the world.
Now we get to the characters. Honestly all the characters stay intact. It pretty much
**Red**
Playing into Drama club aspect, Gira here is definite for the dramatic flair. While he doesn’t attend college, where the Kugane stand-in does, he is invited at the beginning of the film to see a presentation about Hollow Earth and the theories of ancient civilizations such as Atlantis. During the presentation, he does fall asleep and have dreams of the five kingdoms in their prime. The dream is so surreal, it is like he was there. There is still connection to Dugded, though wouldn’t be confirmed until the third \*non-crossover\* film. Is an empath towards the shuggods
The King’s Trial: Trial of the Throne. Trial of the Throne is more or less the same as the Heaven’s Adventure film, where here Gira is face-to-face with the original King of Shuggodam, Reiniol, represented as an old grudge in the monstrous “Burial Arms” form. As an empath, he is able to connect toward’s Reiniol’s spirit, witnessing the loss of everyone he loved, God Kuwagata chooses Gira and allows him to transform to cut down Reiniol’s Burial Arms, cutting his chains to the earth, and allowing him to pass on.
**Blue**
“Yanma” is still the jock/nerd of the group. As far as characteristics are concerned, he doesn’t change much. Of each of these modern kings, he is the ones that visits the ruins of his country the most as he wants to study the seemingly advance technology of old. And as someone who doesn’t have a family, he has no one waiting for him at home.
King’s Trial: Trial of the Abandoned (?) This one is a bit tricky as in the series proper, the only thing we know is that the previous king of N’kosopa had abandoned the country after the Fury of the Gods. Perhaps his own trial stems from his own abandonment, and how “pushing” his own feelings down isn’t actually overcoming the trauma. This area needs work.
**Yellow**
“Hymeno” is a doctor in training. With her own trauma of her mother dying when she was younger.
King’s Trial: Trial of Death\*. Upon arriving in the ruins of Ishabana, “Hymeno” is welcomed by not its beauty but what remains of its death. Corpses of the fury of the Gods (both Cicadas, as well as other titans) and once where life resided was now the undead. In her trial, Hymeno has to face not only the corpses of those that lived all those years ago, but also the remnants of her loved ones.
**Purple**
“Rita” is a bit different than her sentai counterpart. The lone survivor of an incident that cost her her right eye, Rita is in mind set where she has no one to blame for her misfortune. Upon arriving in Gokkan, she is nearly frozen to death in the snow. It leaves her face half frozen. Arriving in the ruins of the castle, unlike other places, it almost seems like the entire place is frozen in time.
King’s Trial: Trial of the Guilty\*. In a Silent Hill esque twist, Rita finds herself being hunted by a Yeti-type creature. She has to face her own judgement as she confronts her own Survivors Guilt. Upon facing judgement on herself, the frozen face shatters leaving an eye of ice.
**Black**
“Kaguragi” Open minded, never really knowing what goes on in his mind. He seems to be the one to backstab another but is willing to do anything for his friends and family. Someone that is close to the “Racles” stand in.
King’s Trial: The Trial of Flames\*, Coming into Toufu, he is welcomed by what feels like Hell’s flames as he meets the queen that seems to be burning in her own hell. Has relations to \[Racles\], at this time unknown if they would be brothers, or Suzume would be included in the film or if her inclusion would inflate an already large cast of characters.
\*The trials of Death, Guilty, and Flames are all set up that hints towards The Fury of the Gods as well as Grodi (as well as the other jesters) as “The Fury of the Gods” would be one of the titles for a sequel film.
**First “Monsterverse Crossover event”**
Picking up where the King-ohger film left off, the Monarch Soldiers bring the rangers for investigation. Some interactions include \[Yanma\] basically not wanting to deal with Monarch’s authority, and even has learned to escape thanks to remnant N’kosopa technology he has taken.\[Kaguragi\] knew already that \[Racles\] was a Monarch researcher, but he is playing dumb as \[Racles is having his plan go into fruition on awaken the three great \[Shuggods\]. \[Jeremie\] is working in the background to make sure these new kings are able to escape.
Meanwhile the A-plot of the film is that of Desnarok creating the cocoons around the world to wipe out the surface dwellers. This not only leads to Monarch having to finally put their trust in these “King-Ohger” but also as King-Ohger, Godzilla, Gamera, Ultraman, and Kong have to stand together to face the infestation.
Its revealed that \[Racles\] has betrayed monarch and left to awaken and control the three great shuggods. \[Gira\] confronts him and \[Racles\] reveals his plan to take control of the three shuggods to take control of King-ohger and use it as a hivemind to fully control all titans \[to reveal later to be fully revealed to have all titans fight off Dugded\]. \[Gira\] and \[Racles\] fights which awakens the three gods, but they then team up with the titans defending the earth to beat the infestation of Bugnarok. \[Gira\] is seemingly defeated in their fight.
Post credits does include \[Jeremie\] saving \[Gira’s\] life, saying that “some stories are bound to repeat themselves.
**Ideas and concepts for sequels**

Fanfic Year in Review - 2022
This year was a tough one for writing. Art is much easier - thus the heaps of fanart I was able to create. Writing, though, demands so much more mental energy and with everything going on in my personal life, I often had too little in the tank to use in stories - not that the DESIRE to do so wasn't high!
So, all that aside, here is what I accomplished.
Completed Fanfic:
The Holiday is Over Rated T (Sherlock) 1,231 words The moment the heavy door was wrenched open a bucket of ice water was thrown inside – drenching him and pulling a gasp from his chest. He tried to scramble away but Miroslav simply grabbed him by the hair and his upper arm and dragged him from the cell. Once outside, in the narrow hallway, two other soldiers clamped the shackles on his wrists and he was mostly dragged onward towards the room that stank of his blood.
The Home Visit Rated G (Doctor Strange) 6,450 words His exhale carried visibly through the air – the chill setting off a shiver and making him miss his robes – the cloak in particular. This wasn't the sort of adventure where a cloak was needed, however, beyond warmth of course. In fact the only arcane item he'd brought with was his sling ring. He could be anywhere in the world in seconds, if needed. So why was he walking? Certainly Wong had been the small voice in his head asking the question for the last five minutes. But, truthfully, he needed this time. He wasn't certain what sort of welcome he'd find, at the end of his walk, and if he took enough time, there was always a chance he'd be summoned back to the Sanctum well before he arrived.
He wasn't sure if that wouldn't be better, overall...
Updated WIPs:
Sed Diabolus Rated T (Avengers) 38,282 words so far The great epic has begun. They say history is recorded by the victors. Well history, then, has yet to be written. Heroes have fallen and the world is a ruin of chaos and self-destruction. The time of the apocalypse has come. Who, then, will stand and face the Devil?
Thanos left an indelible mark. What was undone was far from erased and the world is the poorer for the losses he brought to bear. But he is not the only being of power looking to claim Earth as its throne. The enemy from the heavens was defeated. But it is the enemy from the darkest and deepest places who may prove to be the final death knell for the universe.
And yet... hope comes...
Like the ringing strike of a hammer against iron...
WIPs with In-Progress Chapters (chapters not yet completed):
The Fire in Which We Burn - Chapter 3 1,119 words so far Excerpt:
Anthea squeezed her arm before retrieving her phone and giving Ali another pat.
After she was out the door, Molly turned back toward the tea kettle and poured a cup for Sherlock as well as an additional one for herself. She tucked the bag, with its remaining pastries, under one arm and made her careful way to the couch. Sherlock stood and met her halfway – taking both cups until she could settle on the cushion.
Once sat, however, she had no idea what to do next. Though she had anticipated Sherlock being the first to speak there was only silence on his side of the couch. Molly, rather, watched the ripples settle in her cup. She didn't actually want the tea – having taken it out of habit more than anything else. She still held the bag of pastries so she set that on the coffee table. Well that was done. And now to ponder the next inconsequential move. Perhaps tapping a finger on the rim of her cup.
It was beginning to look as though she'd have to make the first move – and didn't that just define every aspect of their nonexistent relationship. She breathed in and turned to the side.
Sherlock was staring at his feet – his own cup just as ignored in his hands as her own. His trembling hands. Small spatters of tea had pebbled on his fingers but he'd made no move to wipe them away. Quickly Molly set aside her cup before, carefully, reaching to extract the mug from Sherlock's hold.
Once his hands were empty Molly paused for only a moment; then slid her hand over the arch of his fingers and taking hold of one shaking hand.
Sherlock's breath stuttered but he made no other move – no other sound.
So Molly held his hand, and Ali dozed between them, and time counted down – tick by tick.
Fic Ideas Developed (Unposted):
Faun Sherlock Story 2: 2,084 words so far Excerpt:
Time blurred into table settings, moving heaps of food from one resting spot to another to still another; and throughout it all Sherlock had yet to find a moment to steal away and change form – a move that would necessitate stripping out of his human clothes. And though younglings did not typically wear clothing in faun form until their sixteenth year, Sherlock still didn't want to strip down in the middle of the dining hall.
Finally, though, he was able to escape under the, actually true, excuse of needing the toilet.
Choosing the loo near the servant's quarters, and thus the least likely to be in regular use, Sherlock took care of business before stripping down and carefully folding his clothing (he didn't want to face Mummy's wrath if he wrinkled his suit).
Tail flicking in happiness, he bundled his clothing and darted back out into the hallway. A large wardrobe, near the front entrance, served for stowing his clothes and shoes. Around him, various relations chatted and sampled the nibbles set out on a long board in the dining hall. Sherlock snatched a handful of acorn biscuits before making for the double doors leading back outside. Much as he wanted to indulge in some justified scowling at the required punishment, he couldn't manage to erase the spark of glee at finally being able to set his hooves in the soft green lawn.
Munching the sweet treat, he skirted the edge of the green whilst keeping a wary eye out for Mummy. Which, of course, meant that he was startled enough to drop his last biscuit when a firm hand clamped on his shoulder.
“Mycroft! Let go!”
“And who said you could shift form?”
Squirming until he could wrench free, Sherlock fought against baring his teeth. He really would catch it were he to show such uncouth aggression – and towards a family member, no less.
“Shut up! Mummy told me it was okay!” She hadn't, as such, but she also hadn't unequivocally required he remain in human form; which may well have been a ringing endorsement.
Mycroft, however, had already turned his attention to the other guests while Sherlock retrieved his dropped biscuit – frowning a moment before dusting off the bit of dirt and stuffing it in his mouth. He noted, and ignored, the disapproving glance from his brother.
On the far side of the lawn, more guests were emerging from the house – primarily elders but a handful of younglings darted out to play.
“Ah, some friends for you to play with.”
Sherlock curled a lip – all too aware that Mycroft was anything but sincere.
“I'd rather lick a lead pipe.”
AU John and Mary Divorce (rather than her dying): Excerpt:
John had his arms crossed - hands cupping his elbows with his feet spaced apart. Even he could recognize the defensiveness in his posture. Across from him, Mary was pulling the strap of the changing bag over her shoulder. Still in her cot, Rosie was playing with her plush bee - waving it above her head and chortling in her own language. John rubbed at the tip of his nose.
“Tell me I’m not going to wake up tomorrow to find that you’ve disappeared with my daughter to who knows where.”
Mary stopped her activity and looked up - eyebrows lifted and a near smile on her face before taking in John’s expression. Then she tipped her head in that way that sent a tiny dig of loss through John’s heart all over again.
“I would never do that to you. And I would never do that to our daughter.” She approached until she could place both of her hands on John’s biceps. “Besides do you truly believe there’s anywhere I could go where Sherlock Holmes couldn’t find me.”
John blinked as he lifted his face - looking beyond her shoulder at Rosie playing blissfully with her toys. Finally he dropped his gaze back down - eyes unblinking on Mary’s face.
“If you took my child away from me, Mary, there would be nowhere you could go that I wouldn’t find you.”
Tony Stark VS Wilson Fisk: Excerpt:
Across from him, Fisk continued speaking. “I have found that I have an over-abundance of pressure on me as I attempt to rebuild what was lost during my incarceration. Aside from the judgement of the good people of this city I also have faced an ongoing assault from a number of vigilantes. This city, for all of its potential, has the unfortunate side effect of breeding these... vermin... faster than the rats that inhabit the sewers. As it is they are beneath the notice of those who claim to protect the people of this city.” His hands stilled – lying one on top of the other as Tony silently turned to the next page. “Too busy protecting the rest of the world, perhaps.”
Tony made himself turn to the next page; his eyes blinking rapidly.
“Of course it isn't in my nature to harm innocents. I find it distasteful to involve women and children in such matters. And, yet, I find that it is, in fact, a child at the center of my current dilemma. Of greater irony is that this child has both power and connections that would, under normal circumstances, place him outside the reach of those who would wish him harm.”
The forth page was a photo – clipped from a newspaper and a duplicate to the framed image that sat on the worktable in Tony's lab. In the grainy image he stood, one arm slung around a young man's shoulders, as the kid received his certification for completing the “Stark Internship”. Tony licked his tongue across his teeth before closing the file once more.
Fisk let out a soft hum. “As it is, prison has a way of creating strange bedfellows. I met someone – a man you may know. Adrian Toomes. After some persuasion he had something very interesting to share with me. Something that, I can only imagine, you would wish to keep out of the hands of certain individuals.”
Tony wanted to clench his hands – his fingertips twitching before he pushed them flat against the wood beneath them. “Just to clarify you're threatening my intern?”
Fisk leaned forward; hands folding tight before him on the table. “I was hoping we wouldn't have to play any games but given your refusal to read the rest of the documents Mr. Wesley provided, I will summarize them for you.” Here he stood; walking to the open doors facing the patio. “I know who Peter Parker is. I know about his aunt. I know the names of his friends, where he goes to school, and where he buys his favorite sandwich every afternoon.” He rested his hands on the railing; squinting in the sunlight. “If he continues to disrupt my affairs in Hell's Kitchen, the consequences could be... unpleasant.” He glanced back at Tony; his face serene. “You realize I'm asking for very little. Keep your new pet leashed and allow me to conduct my business in peace. The child will never have to know my name. Other than what he may learn from news reports; of course.” Tugging his cuffs, Fisk turned to more fully face into the room. “I never wanted to involve you. This is the sort of attention I have spent a fortune to avoid. As it is I find myself in a position where reticence could cost me even more.”
Pushing to his feet, Tony could no longer stop his hands from fisting at his sides – though he managed to control the tremor as he joined Fisk. Side by side, the other man practically loomed over him.
“So you aren't just threatening a kid – you're threatening everyone he cares about. Little bit budget TV villain but you do you I guess.” Pulling off his tinted glasses, he stared up at the other man. “The thing is this little weekly drama you're playing?” he waggled his fingers back and forth, “way above your pay grade. Maybe stick to collecting on gambling debts and playing whack-a-mole with the other lowlifes in your contacts list.”
The smallest of smiles twitched at the corner of Fisk's lips. “I know you're someone who prefers visual aids,” his voice became guttural – losing the soft quality, “perhaps a demonstration would help to convince you.”
A glance to the side, the barest nod to Wesley, and the other man typed into his phone.
There was a moment – silence this far above the city.
And then an apartment complex, three blocks away, exploded into flame.

Hi....If you don't mind, can I ask, what are your top 10 (or top 7) favorite media (can be books/ manga/ anime/movies/tv series)? Why do you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before......Thanks....
Hello lovely stranger, what a nice question! I don't mind answering, though the answers may be odd, lol.
In no particular order (because I'd die if I had to actually order them)
The Goblin Emperor, by Katherine Addison. I love this book because it's like a soft, warm blanket you can wrap yourself up in when you are feeling sad or lonely. It has incredible world-building and a main character that I was prepared to take a bullet for after page 1. Friends who know me well also know I can't shut the fuck up about this book.
The Adventure Zone: Balance arc (podcast). Something about the mixture between dorky brothers being dorks with their dad and the genuine earnest passion of this campaign really sticks with me and continues to give me many serotonin.
Heaven Official's Blessing, by MXTX. I love all three of MXTX's books, but this one remains the most special to me, I think; it rescued me from hideous depression & burnout, and in addition to the sweeping, compelling story + incredible world-building, Xie Lian is another main character that I fell immediately in love with.
Dragon Age 2 (video game). The red-headed step child of the series in many ways, but still my favorite. The character writing in this game is heads and shoulders above almost every other game I've played, and Hawke remains a perennial favorite character.
Stephen King's "IT." Veering wildly off the race tracks with this one! I reread this book every summer for about 6 years in a row. I can't really explain very well why, but I found it both incredibly powerful and incredibly comforting to read this genuinely terrifying novel. Some of the most powerful character writing I've ever read.
The Babadook (movie). Another horror story (a movie this time) that moves me to tears with how compelling and meaningful I find it. It also scares the pants off me to watch this film, but I absolutely adore it all the same.
Good Omens, both book and series versions. Aziraphale and Crowley are really hugely important to me as a queer person who has historically had trouble finding a place that feels like home to me.
The Lord of the Rings (both book and movies). I grew up with this series and it continues to provide profound joy and meaning to me whenever I revisit it, despite its flaws.
Pacific Rim (movie). Loved this movie and its story enough to get the Gipsy Danger logo tattooed on me with one of my best friends.
Skyfall (2012 James Bond movie). This is another movie that more or less rescued me from creative block/burnout/depression and reminded me how to write again and find joy in the story I was creating.
I think that's it! Thanks for reading!

Oliver beamed at the present in his hands, the nondescript white box decorated with a red bow that had been practiced so many times over. The attorney carefully left it at the Colonel’s door before giving the wood a few quick knocks… then the attorney went and scrammed. He hid in some bushes just before he could be seen, carefully peeking his head out to watch and wait for William to come out. Maybe he can get him to be a little sentimental if he wasn’t around, he figured with a lighthearted grin.
Inside the box was a photo of William, Damien, and Oliver from before the war, posing like young men do, labeled in Oliver’s mother’s handwriting. Under it, there were a set of glasses that William once told him about, along with a compass. Inside the compass, besides the usual bells and whistles, was an inscription. It read, “For all your adventures.”
The last thing inside was a note from the attorney himself:
I’m very thankful to be your friend, William. I don’t know where I’d be without you. Merry Christmas, old friend. —O. Ashcroft
@oliver-ashcroft-documents
-
It might have been the Holiday season, but William was hard at work. He had gotten his hands on an old wooden kitchen cabinet and had been spending his free time repairing it. There was no plan for what to do with it afterward, but that was never a problem when he was in the middle of the project. Someone would happen to need a replacement cabinet, and he would offer this one.
He was in the middle of measuring the back of the cabinet to add further reinforcement when there was a rapid series of knocks on the door. By the time he managed to step over the wood, narrowly miss trip over a chair, and make his way to the door, the visitor was long gone. Typical. He let out a bemused huff and was about to slam the door, only to catch a glimpse of white.
No name, no identifier... It was likely for one of the neighbours. With the box simply decorated with a bow, it would be easy to lift the lid and try to guess which house it was for (it wasn't like it was for him. Aside from Damien, Mark, and Celine, who would bother their ass coming out to visit him?).
Tumblr media
Yet, to his confusion, there was a photo of him looking back up at him, alongside Damien and Oliver. It looked to be around high school, before William finished school early to join the army. That brought a hint of a chuckle from the soldier. He didn't really care to think of his youth these days. How could he properly reminisce about the innocent times when he (and most of his generation) lost their innocence early because some people decided to be selfish and trigger a chain reaction that would set off a war?
Did William really look that ridiculous without a moustache? Good heavens.
Then, the glasses. They were properly quality whiskey glasses, and it was a funny coincidence that he and Oliver had only been discussing good drinks a month or so back. Inside one of the glasses was another box that, when opened, revealed the compass.
For all your adventures...
What was Oliver trying to do with all of this? How could he still value William as a friend after everything that happened? William had a part to play in how Oliver turned out the way he was. He was supposed to keep his friend safe, and he failed. (In one way, he 'succeeded' because Oliver survived, but is that really how low the bar was?) Hell, he hadn't even sent Oliver a card this year.
There was an urge to leave the box back where it was, but something insisted he hold on to it. It would be dishonourable to abandon it, or lie and pretend he wasn't home and didn't know of its existence. Likewise, it felt wrong to take it in and stash it away where no one could see.
Unfortunately for Oliver, it was hard to gauge if his plan to hang around was even worth it. William's expression was hard to read, between the moustache and his fringe falling over his wide-rimmed glasses. But then, there was a brief shake of the shoulders, as though letting out a quiet laugh, before everything was brought inside and the door closed.
It was.... Probably something positive. Hopefully.

3, 4, 7, 19 for the dnd ask meme? also hope ur having a lovely sleepover saturday <3 have fun w archipelago omg!!
thank you!!! I’m super excited
(3 and 7 answered)
4. What’s your favorite part of DMing?
I love worldbuilding and I love running combat and I love giving my players challenges to overcome and I love playing a guy who is so cool and I love playing a guy who is so evil and tbh I love knowing the rules and being in control and coming up with cool mechanics on the fly, but MOST of all I love to create a thing for my friends and then get to explore it together and just have a fun time hanging out and telling a story together that we make up as we go along. The real treasure is the friends I made along the way, as cheesy as that is. The rest is a bonus.
19. How do you feel about PVP? Player-player romance?
PvP is so fun and 5e is for sure not designed with it in mind but it’s so fun is the thing. As long as everyone is cool with it above table, I’m all for it. That said, you do have to be careful that everyone is cool with it, and there’s a time and a place and a method. Stealing your party members’ gold while you’re on watch just because you’re chaotic neutral? Pass. Steal a bomb from your party member’s safehouse that you guys took from a crime scene in order to advance your character’s political agenda? Oh yeah. Getting a DM from that player asking if you’re okay with them killing your character? Now that’s spicy.
As for PC-PC romance, I think it requires even more trust in each other than PvP, honestly, but that it can be SUCH a fun and interesting thing to explore at the table. Mason and Adva had the most toxic relationship in archipelago and it’s been SO fun. The drama! The betrayal! The intricate rituals! Adva may have retired from adventuring but I think the echoes of her will last for a while, especially for Mason

Day 150a: Monday May 30, 2022 - “Grand Introductions”
What a day to spend a national holiday than out enjoying a national treasure.  Memorial Day 2022 was marked with introductions to the Grand Canyon for Eve and William.  We took a little adventure road up from Mt Humphreys where we’d camped the night before and drove up to the South Rim for some quick views from the Mather Point, where Eve gained her assignment to become a Junior Ranger.  We then had a roadside picnic of Canyon-Dogs that fueled a short walk through the woods to Shoshone point where nature hugs and celebrations of this treasured landscape were taken and enjoyed.  A few miles away, thousands of tourists peppered the rim and overlooks of a people zoo; but here on Shoshone it was all ours.
We then drove to the Desert Watchtower where we sat with Eve and finished her Junior Ranger book and earned her South Rim Badge.  Due to 9 year old shy-ness, I wound up getting sworn in too.  I did help write the poem and assist with the mad-libs, and did all the driving after all - so I was qualified to take the pledge to the love the parks - especially my favorite one.  Miss Eve, Junior Ranger, also joined the conservancy out here, adopting a Mountain Lion, and for all that I bought her an ice cream cone.  She was tough to convince, but overall I think she liked it and will definitely remember it and tell the stories of what she found here.  William on the other hand -  no doubt that he won’t recall being here at 11 months old but his mama and I will cherish the photos of this little man, out here in one of those important places at such a young age.  And if he grows to love Grand Canyon as much as us, he’ll cherish these photos of himself smiling in front of this timeless place.   At the very minimum, Audrie and I can build a love and reverence for our parks.  He may not remember these exact moments, but we’ll normalize the vibe and the spirit of Go.   Its in his DNA and I can only imagine that knowing we did this with him and seeing his little bum in front of the NP sign, will be a special keepsake for our budding adventurer.
We finished the day with a stop at the Cameron Trading Post before the long drive around to the North Rim.  Packed in the miles, circling this Grand Canyon and as Memorial Day wrapped up, over a wide open backcountry road, it was unaccountably easy to be grateful for all those that gave all to defend our freedoms and our land so that we could so freely get out and bask in the splendor of this important place - one of this nations most splendid treasures. 
Song: Ryan Bingham - Southside of Heaven (Live)
Quote: “I love my country, by which I mean I am indebted joyfully to all the people throughout its history, who have fought the government to make right. Where so many cunning sons and daughters, our foremothers and forefathers came singing through slaughter, came through hell and high water so that we could stand here, and behold breathlessly the sight; how a raging river of tears cut a grand canyon of light.” ― Ani DiFranco

Firedrake the Silver Dragon (2020)
Tumblr media
Firedrake the Silver Dragon a.k.a. Dragon Rider may have good intentions and serve as passable entertainment for young children but I can’t recommend it. Any way you look at this film, it’s just an inferior version of How to Train Your Dragon. Even it knows this, which is why it makes direct references to the 2010 DreamWorks production.
Ages ago, the world’s dragons were forced into hiding. As mankind approaches their home in the wilderness, Firedrake (voiced by Thomas Brodie-Sangster) and his friend, a forest brownie named Sorrell (Felicity Jones), decide to go searching for the legendary “Rim of Heaven”, where all winged firebreathers will be safe. Mistaking a common thief named Ben (Freddie Highmore) for the fabled “dragon rider”, they have no idea that Nettlebrand (Patrick Stewart), a mechanical dragon-eating monster, is on their trail.
The creatures in How to Train Your Dragon all looked unique when compared to every dragon we’d seen before and to each other. The ones in Firedrake are completely forgettable. They might as well be stock assets they’re so bland. It’s not necessarily a damnable flaw. In cases like this, I always go back to Hoodwinked, which looks super cheap but made up for it with songs, humor and a clever story. "Firedrake" is a wet noodle of a film not because of the passable-at-best visuals. It's the screenplay that makes it fall out of the sky like a parachute made of cement. The villain, for instance. He sucks. Nettlebrand is never intimidating. He’s an utter buffoon that any protagonist who was worth their weight in bricks would overcome effortlessly. The fact that Firedrake can't makes you angry.
I don’t want this whole review spent comparing this film to How to Train Your Dragon but it can’t be helped. Maybe director Tomer Eshed is a big fan of DreamWorks and they wanted to pay homage. Maybe they knew the comparisons would be made by audiences so they decided to roll with it. Whatever the reason, there is a movie-within-the-movie called Dragon Rider and when you see the billboards for it, they are basically stand-ins for “How to Train Your Dragon”, complete with the same font. It’s been modified since we first saw the "Easter Egg" in the trailer but in the movie itself, it’s still unmistakeable. We get another reference later when we see a bootleg of Scrat from Ice Age frozen in a glacier. These references are so glaring it’s kind of funny in a way but at best, they are temporary distractions from the profound boredom you will feel.
None of the characters have anything resembling depth and the jokes are lame. The gags are so bottom-of-the-barrel that most of them don’t even make sense under scrutiny. Nettlebrand is on a dating app that allows its users the option of enhancing their photos. Wouldn’t that just lead to loads of bad dates? and yes, I know it’s a gag and isn’t meant to be taken seriously, but it isn’t funny so why should I give it a pass?
I guarantee that even if you see Firedrake the Silver Dragon “for free” on a streaming platform and make it all the way to the end credit scene that brings back the most unfunny of all the unfunny characters we encounter on this global adventure, you won’t remember this picture down the line. To me, that makes it worse than if it left audiences angry. Seeing "the worst movie ever" makes for a good story. This? It’s just diet water. (April 15, 2022)

Strawberry Daiquiri: 
Every sip is like a ray of sunshine.
Enjoy our refreshing Best Strawberry Daiquiri as a way to forget about the cold weather outside. This refreshing drink combines the fruity flavours of ripe strawberries with the tartness of fresh lime juice and the smoothness of white rum. When served cold, it's a pleasant reminder that summer's vivaciousness is just around the corner.
Espresso Martini: 
introducing Your Life with Spark and Class
The Espresso Martini is the ideal choice for individuals who need a classy pick-me-up. This cocktail is robust because it mixes the silky indulgence of vodka and coffee liqueur with the decadent richness of freshly made espresso. It's a caffeine-infused treat that will perk you up anytime.
Passion Fruit Martini: 
Unique Flavours, a Once-in-a-Lifetime Adventure
The Passion Fruit Martini will whisk you away to sandy beaches. A premium vodka and a little sugar are combined with the exotic tang of passion fruit to create this tropical jewel. It's an exotic getaway from the winter's chill, served in a chilled martini glass.
Margarita: 
Traditional Favour with a Spicy Kick
The classic Margarita cocktail should be on every bartender's list. Our take on the classic cocktail combines tequila, fresh lime juice, and orange liqueur with a dash of salt on the rim of a salt-rimmed glass. The zesty citrus flavours balance the smokiness of the tequila.
Mojito: 
The Perfect Minty Blissful Refreshment
Get your fill of the Mojito's refreshing flavours. This traditional Cuban cocktail is made by muddling together white rum, lime juice, and mint leaves. It's a revitalising and refreshing option when topped with soda water.
Amaretto Sour:
A Citrusy, Nuttiness of Pleasure
The Amaretto Sour is an excellent example of how well nuttiness and citrus coexist. This drink combines the sweet amaretto liqueur with the tart lemon juice for a deliciously balanced flavour. A soothing and stimulating beverage is the end product.
Hot Buttered Rum:
Traditional hot buttered rum is made with black rum, hot water, butter, and spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, and is a great way to warm up on cold winter days. It's perfect for a cold night before the fire because of its velvety smoothness and warming spices.
A Cranberry Mule:
This festive take on the Moscow Mule blends vodka, ginger beer, and cranberry juice for a delicious tart beverage. Its vibrant colour and tangy flavour make it a welcome addition to any holiday get-together.
"Irish Coffee":
Irish coffee is a classic drink with hot coffee, Irish whisky, sugar and whipped cream. The combination of caffeine and alcohol delivers a fantastic pick-me-up on chilly winter mornings or a calming nightcap.
Maple Bourbon Old Fashioned:
This updated take on an old favourite uses maple syrup to add a rich, caramelised sweetness. This cocktail is cosy and refined, thanks to the bourbon, bitters, and orange twist.
A Winter Sangria:
Winter Sangria is a delicious cocktail with red wine, brandy, and seasonal fruits, including oranges, pomegranates, and cranberries. The vivid colours and fragrant aromas will perk you up on the greyest of winter days.
Martini with Pears and Spices:
