A concept, feel free to run with it anyone.
It's time travel with Draco Malfoy.
He passes the arch of the Court Chambers where he has been sentenced to 3 years of Azkaban. No happy thoughts, only the regret and sadness of having to relieve his mistakes in technicolor within the drab walls of Azkaban.
Anyways, he passes the arch, which has been destabilized because of the dark magic from Voldemort. He passes out and wakes up to his mother and father looking at him with worry.
It's July 31, 1991.
They fret and hover over him and argue over if they should continue to Diagon Alley for his school supplies. Draco is discombobulated and just smiles winningly because he can't remember how he was at that age but he is sure there was happiness surrounding this day ( there was he meet the love of his life, Harry) so he smiles and encourages them to continue with their day with the dopiest grin. Alright so maybe he has a slight concussion and cannot see straight (pun intended). So on they go apparating into the alley while Draco clings to his parents because he is slightly concussed and slightly because his parents are healthy and petting his hair. Sure this might all be a fever dream and he will wake in a cold, dreary island filled with dementors. He is a firm believer in delulu is the sululu so he will take this small amount of happiness that he can.
This time his parents refuse to allow him to go alone into any of the shops. They are worried about the slightly dazed look in their son's eyes. At the entrance to the robe shop, he berates them to let him stand on his own and not embarrass him. The two decide to wander the shop with a keen eye on their son. As before a ragged looking boy enters the shop without the notice of the two adults. Draco however has never been more excited. He didn't know it at the time but he knows he is Harry Potter. The biggest grin on his face he practically shouts " hullo, Hogwarts too?"
Taken aback by this small pale boy, Harry thinks “oh great another weird person who knows his name”. Warily the thin boy steps up as he is instructed to by the matron.
"Uh yea, Hogwarts too"
Nodding along, Draco speaks "I thought as much. I've been waiting for....that door to open. You know because the nargles told me." He isn't sure why he lies but he decides he can't be blurting out things that might make him wake up. After all dreams start to shatter once you start to think too hard.
"uh what are nar..nargles you said?" young Potter asks.
"Oh well you know, those little pesky things that go bzzz in your brain, like uh huh yea they go bzzzz. Like bee's except they’re magical. “ He does a little motion to indicate a bee flying.
“Yea magical bees. Wonder if that would make me allergic to them as well. I’m allergic to bees you see? Had to be flooed to St.Mungos once after I tried to eat one of mothers flowers. Of course, it was Uncle Sev’s fault entirely. He said they were edible. I just didn't get the right color. But how did I know that flowers of different colors can do different things? It was horrible, Mother made me read about flowers for weeks after that as punishment for messing up her garden." Rubbing along his lips remembering that incident he finishes his little rant " so I guess I could be allergic, she (Luna) did say they cause a type of reaction like a bee sting.." His words putter out as he realizes he just ranted at poor potter about bees. A flush rises to his cheeks.
Harry is laughing softly at the now embarrassed boy. Not wanting to alienate his first potential friend he asked " Did you learn anything about flowers I mean. I haven’t read much about them but I do tend to our weeds and such for my aunt." Though the task sounds much better, he can feel the calluses his hands acquired from having to dig and pull without proper gloves.
"Oh, actually, yea, I learned about this weed called Venus tentactular that has vines that can kill you, but just show it a bit of sun, and it calms right down. I spent hours trying to make a lumos just so I could see it. Mother has never been more horrified, than when I tried to coax it out of the greenhouse. I think she wanted me to appreciate the pretty flowers, but what's a garden without a couple of weeds? Want to see?"
Then promptly face palms because he has just asked the savior if he wants to see a weed that can kill him.
" Oh Merlin, not because I want to hurt you or anything. I’m very good at light charms or well mainly I can make fire with my mind. It's really just accidental magic but I mean I think it and boom it’s there in my hands. But not like a boom like a bomb just like a small night light but with fire. Not that I need a nightlight or anything, I’m not a baby anymore. And I couldn’t object to it as a baby anyway so that's really why I had it then. Of course. "
A boisterous laugh makes his ramble come to stop. Harry Potter is clutching his ribs as he cackles and giggles with mirth at the babbling boy next to him.
Face as red as a candy apple, Draco somehow is able to tell Potter to write to him. Though the conversation on Owling leaves Harry in more tears as Draco does an impersonation of an owl. Who sounds and all. Draco doesn't even try to understand Harry's explanation of a landline.
It's as what feels like a week goes by that Draco fears he may be in some type of coma because he has not returned to the chill of the North Sea.
Letters are passed, and it's Sep 1, 1990, when Draco begins to have worries of how exactly he is still in the past or whatever fever dream he is in. Sure, making friends with Harry Potter had been a dream for the first four years at Hogwarts, but now he is getting increasingly tense with the situation.
It's the sorting hat that tips the scales for his confirmation of where he is.
"Ah we meet again Mr. Malfoy."
"What"
In his first life, the hat had barely touched his head before sorting him.
"Playing games with level ten I see. It's good to see ambition such as yours learn new ways to thrive. Alas duty calls. Hufflepuff maybe, such daring could go to Gryffindor,but never well thought so Ravenclaw is not for you."
The horror of possibly being Hufflepuff is enough to have him cry out in disgust. Him a hufflepuff! He will find a way to burn the disgusting hat before it could say Puff"
" Ah well I suppose it’s good to have some creature comforts."
“Slytherin!” It bellowed out into the hall.
Draco broods at the slytherin table after all he knows where everyone will go.Until the hall goes silent. He picks up his head only to find Harry Potter striding towards him with a smirk.
Oh no! He has ruined everything. He thought this was a dream or a coma. The afterlife may have thought why he got to be happy was baffling. He’s a slytherin. Any random good fortune should be analyzed before moving forward. On the contrary maybe that is why most of his schemes against the golden trio did not work out so well. Now he was with the speccy boy as a slytherin. "Merlin, I'm an idiot'
"Don't be so hard on yourself, Draco I was sure you were headed for Hufflepuff and I wasn't sure how I could get into that house with you. "
"What of course you could get into Hufflepuff, I mean hardworking is a trait isn't it? And you do that, at your aunts with all the chores you talk about. Though academically you were a bit lazy. Loyalty is a pretty trait uh except does it count if you still disobey the people your loyal to cause i dont you like to do that very much, maybe your problem is authority figures ya know?"
Harry was busy looking at the professors to catch that Draco words were just a smidge suspicious. Regardless once he tunes back in the mumbles of the blonde he taps against the top of his temples.
"Oy stop trying to sort me into another house. also you should watch your words, I think i'm rubbing off on you. What would your elocution tutor think of you using words like yaknow? "
Draco sighs deciding this is a future problem. or maybe he can run it by the savior himself. Obviously an 11 year old potter was able to take care of problems since he entered Hogwarts.
It's seconds before their first potions class that he remembers Uncle likes to ask difficult questions that he pulls Harry aside and whispers.
Draught of death, Aconite and Stomach of a goat.
Harry, who has decided that Draco is really just a dumb blond with some kind of divine foresight, does not question him at all.
********************************
Fast forward throughout the year, Draco keeps trying to help but just ends up helpless until Harry saves him.
Then because there were no clues, Draco just straight up asked, if someone was going to steal something and if you touch their hand they probably disintegrate into what would you do?
Uh well you could try to steal the thing first so that they can't get to it but if you just stopped them by holding hands then why not just hold hands? Is this a hypothetical, because you can just ask to hold my hand if you're scared.
Draco dares Harry to hold Proffesor Quirrels hand and double dog dares him to hug the professor.
Harry was a Gryffindor for a reason in his first life. The DADA teacher turning into dust in the middle of the corridor was not what anyone expected. Harry however is unphased, sure the black cloud was a good effect but it will take more than that to scare him Draco Malfoy. Draco has decided that Harry is insane.
The duo is seen bickering because Draco refused to tell his best friend how he was able to make the black smoke appear and why he had his father fire the DADA teacher. Harry didn't hate Quirrel that much, though the smell didn't help.
#drarry#harry x draco#au#harco#If you write this please tell me#I have a lot of feelings about these two#time travel for the win#time travel fix it#sometimes its best to just run with it#Draco is the type of person to ask hypotheticals#Hypothetically would you love if i was worm#please ignore the typos and grammer stuff

Snail Grian?
ough.... snail grian. grian watch out theres something wrong w those snails!! no but literally the fact that in gem and grians most recent episodes we see that they FALL FROM SPACE ? if not space then at least The Sky but like.... they are from space. they are Not of this planet. like what alien creature is visiting hermitcraft and why does grian always become its favourite thing. i rotate him in my mind. he is experiencing The Horrors and nobody but gem has noticed. anyways snail grian...... he is nothing but a mere idea in my brain but u made me think about him some more so now i give u. this:
Gem hasn’t seen Grian in awhile.
Ever since that day with that silly snail, he’s seemed to have just… disappeared. Fallen right off the map. The dock where he sat fishing is uncomfortably silent, nothing but a barrel full of fish and saddles to prove that someone was there. The lanterns reflect off the deep blue of the ocean when she looks out from the top of her lighthouse; from here she can see the entire shoreline, the way it stretches and yawns across the land. No sign of Grian anywhere.
The others haven’t been around in a bit. Everyone’s been busy, less talkative, nose to the grindstone and all that, and so nobody has noticed the suspicious absence of their fisherman. Nobody but her.
No pesky snail has been eating her lighthouse recently. She sees trails of slime across the shore, where Grian usually paced in the day, but finds no evidence of anything happening near her build. It’s as if the snails had just… moved on-- as if they’d found something else they liked, some new objective, something different to satiate their growing hunger.
What that could be, Gem doesn’t know. She’s been here for a while and nothing but the taste of a player’s carefully crafted build could satisfy them. Even then they never seemed to be satisfied! It was as if they lived only to ruin her day! Now that they’re mysteriously absent… well, she doesn’t know what to do with herself.
She pulls her hair back into a ponytail, her breath leaving her in a long sigh. As she makes her way upstairs, she takes a peek through her window to see if Grian had somehow mysteriously made it back.
Just as she expected to see, that snail is at Grian’s fishing dock. The new one. The weird one. It’s bigger than the rest, with a red shell and a habit of crawling slowly up and down the dock and not doing much else. Sometimes she sits there and watches it, feeling a deep seated discomfort with the way it looks so lost.
She wants to go help it. But she won’t risk it. She doesn’t want another snail to try and ruin her hard work.
The snail stops in its tracks suddenly, as if sensing she’s there watching it. It shifts to stare at her, unyielding in its gaze. She wishes she could talk to animals, because that snail is looking at her with such knowing that it makes her stomach twist.
Finally, she can’t handle it anymore, and she turns to go back to her work, leaving the snail behind to do whatever snails do. It’s not like she can do anything for it.
God, she hopes Grian comes back soon…
#snail grian#THE tag now#HAHAH#anyways i wanted to write a little more so thank u for snail grian'ing me#hermitcraft#hermitcraft s10#rosie writing#i hope u enjoy this image of snail grian that i am beaming into ur brain#gem is like. hm. that sure is Odd#something WEIRD is happening at grians fishing dock#i wonder if anyone is gonna do anything about it!!!

The Truth and What is Going to Happen After
Are they Satanists? Are they witches? How in the hell are we able to do these things? Did they sell their souls to the devil for power? I am about to finally answer some of your burning questions. What am I? Well, I am a Grim Reaper. I am Death. Why am I here? I am here for Judgement Day. Yes, that's right, I said JUDGEMENT DAY.(I bet you didn't see that one coming!) It's only that pesky event that people have been harping about over and over again since the dawn of time. As it turns out, this event IS going to happen after all. I am here to tell you exactly what will happen AFTER the shit storm that takes place on the Earth. When my time is up and I keel over here, it is my job to capture the souls that they do not want upstairs. I am in charge of sorting through the souls, weeding out the good souls from the bad souls. I get to say who stays and who goes. I will not be working alone. I will be working VERY, VERY closely with a "spirit" team that consists of demons, devils, witches, what you people would consider "aliens", and a few other surprise guests. The event will take place right here on Earth. I am positive that some psychics and really sensitive people may catch glimpses of it while they are still alive. I am also sure that some can catch EVPS and/or video from time to time as well. Besides that, the only other way to see it will be when your time is up and you step out of your body. There will be what looks like clear glass shipping containers, holding cells, and pits right there waiting for the bad souls. I have already begun "marking" souls for capture. What do I mean by marking souls? Remember the story of Cain and Abel? Cain was marked so that others would not kill him. I am marking souls so that my spirit team will know which ones are to be captured and tortured. Would you believe that there are people that are stupid enough to come right over and make themselves known to us? They are not very bright. We have already marked quite a few of them. Once our spirit team sees a soul that is "marked" by me, that soul will be captured, tortured, and beaten until I personally tear them apart. Once the soul is torn apart it will be consumed by "creatures" and will cease to exist. Souls that made it to the "heaven" area and do not belong there will suffer the same fate. The "good" souls that are left will have their memory wiped and reincarnate back through. We are here to "clean up" the mess. Haven't you ever wondered why there were so many spirits and entities just hanging around here on Earth?? A majority of them are waiting here for this very event. They knew it was going to happen. I am pretty much excited and can't wait to get started. Most importantly, I get to finally give these spirits what they want. They have been waiting for justice and revenge/vengeance for such a long time. Now they will finally have full permission to pretty much do what they want with the unwanted souls. To me this is like one huge party worldwide over the span of many years, and I get to host it! How freaking cool is that? I think my party needs a cool name to go with it. How about the - We will bash your freaking brains in festival? I think it's a cool temporary name for now.🤣 You get the idea. And what about Alicia you ask? Well, I guess you could say I saved the best part for last. (Now I certainly did not forget about Alicia in all of this!) She will play a HUGE role in the festivities, of course. Why, I guess that you could say that she will be my "assistant manager" in all of this. She was carefully hand selected, chosen if you will, to add just the right amount of hostility, muscle, forcefulness, and her own flair of expertise to the job. They really couldn't have picked a better maniac to assist me during all of this. 👽🛸 Those of you who know her, I am sure would agree with me on that one. 😉 I think that I can safely say that we are all looking forward to "taking out the trash" real soon!
#the judgement day#hell on earth#demon#punishment#devils#hellmouth#purgatory event#aliens#end of times#reincarnation#revelations#grim reaper#death

Pearl had been sitting alone, for what seemed to be a good while, when Doc passed by the shopping district. Doc noticed her sitting on top of Sparkly Trash’s roof, he was headed to see what Scar might have stocked in the redstone shop of his, and then take a glance at iBuy, but something in the way she sat pulled him away from those thoughts completely. He swooped down and sat next to Pearl, who looked distressed about something, enough that it was obviously a problem she was thinking about, and thinking about it hard. Doc had cleared his throat when he realised Pearl didn’t look over as he arrived, she gave him a quiet, but distant, hello. Taking that as a sign to join her side Doc snuggled in on the roof with the local moth alien.
“What’s gotten you looking like some body kicked your puppy?” Doc questioned, hoping that joke wasn’t on the mark or something like that.
Pearl took in a deep breath, “just not feeling it today I guess.” She responded looking out over the district, the melancholy look she had caused Doc to frown lightly.
“Those types of days do happen, maybe you need a break? A lot of things have cause some interesting activity lately,” Doc spoke softly, a small hint of a laugh as he began thinking of the chaos he and his neighbours where in, along with the whole tcg tournament going on, “even a small one is good to have every once and a while.”
“Yeah, I thought about doing that, but I don’t think a break is what I need right now.” Pearl responded looking over to Doc and flashing a weak smile his way, “plus! What’s someone like you doing talking to a silly ol’ cleaning lady like me for? Don’t you have some pesky neighbours to deal with?” She added in, throwing more of a positive tone into her voice this time around.
“Why shouldn’t I stop and make the cleaning lady smile?” Doc chuckled, playfully nudging Pearl with his elbow. “Especially since she’s already helped plenty of people, with her services, I think it’s only fair!” He smiles warmly, “but seriously, if you need to have a talk or something, I can only recommend you so, instead of bubbling it up inside.”
Pearl’s smile changed to one that almost made Doc worry she was about to poor her heart out right there and then, but instead she wiped her eyes and nodded, “you’re right, you’re right, there’s a reason we’re all friends here after all! I guess I still have some getting used to, it’s only my second season here after all!” She laughed, retuning the playful nudge. Her smile this time feeling much more genuine.
“We’re all here for each other, so don’t sweat it!” Doc nodded, standing up and lightly dusting himself from the shop dirt, “us hermits gotta stick together.”
“Yeah, I agree.”

Revelations: Part 5 (13th Doctor x Dhawan!master x reader)
(Summary: While relaxing at the spa,The Doctor and The Fam have an an unusual sense of peace and serenity. Confessions are made and secrets revealed but just how long will the peace last for the fam?)
Yaz and yourself were both laying on spa beds she turned to you "it's nice to have a break like this." You nodded in agreement "yeah, it's great to not have something or someone wanting to kill us for once."
Yaz thought for a moment before speaking "Are you still thinking about O or well the Master?" A sigh left you "I can't believe that he turned out to be a villian." Yaz nodded "I know what you mean. He seemed so..." she trailed off before you interrupted "kind, sweet, charming?" Yaz looked at you "Let's not think about him" you nodded in agreement, but then you felt the urge to check your pockets. Breathing a sigh of relief when your music box was still there, you got it out your pocket and looked at it.
"What's that?" Yaz questioned as she looked at the music box in your hand. "Oh this. This was a music box given to me by my parents. They had it made to look like the music box from that movie Anastasia." Yaz looked at the music box closer "it even has the part to unlock the box with the necklace." You nodded "yeah, unfortunately i lost the necklace a long time ago." You put the music box back in your pocket just as the Doctor came in along with Graham and Ryan.
"This is a nice break" Ryan stated, Graham turned to the doctor "so nice and quite." You groaned inside, everyone knows that when it's quite you don't comment on the fact that it's quiet. Ryan looked at his grandfather and smiled "yes it very relaxing, do we have to leave?" Ryan asked. The Doctor nodded "yes but for now we can relax for a while longer."
The Doctor walked over to you and sat down next to you. Yaz looked at Ryan and Graham "Let's go over to the balcony I've heard that we get some beautiful views of the planet." She said as she got off the spa bed. Ryan looked at them "Come on guys let's go Graham and Yaz went to walk out, the doctor turned to you. "Y/N is everything okay?" She asked
"Doctor I can't help but feel that something big is coming and we're all in danger." You whispered not wanting to cause fear for your friends. The doctor looked at you she didn't want to worry you but she was going to do her best to comfort you. "what ever is coming we'll all face it together,like we always do" She replied, you looked back down at your hands "there's something else..." you desperately wanted to tell the doctor that the master was back but you couldn't so you settled for the next best thing "Do you think that we'll have to face the master again?"
The doctor sighed "the Master has come back from death many times. It won't be long before we see him again." She spoke "Oh great just fricking great" You muttered before you up to the doctor and smiled at her"You're really easy to talk to...I still don't understand why but I just want to tell you."
The Doctor smiled "I get that a lot." She stood up "come on. Let's go join the others."
Little did anyone know that in an unknown part of the universe. Someone was up to no good.The blue faced alien was sitting on a chair in a cell. "we both want the same thing. Why don't we destroy them together and do it now?"
A figure was standing in the shadows "as tempting as that sounds, I already have plans for those two pesky time lords. They will be perfect for what I have planned." The blue faced alien thought for a moment before talking again "as for the one who did this" he then pointed to the deformity on his face "what of them?"
The hidden figure showed a device to the blue faced alien "my agents are searching for them, we'll find them and I have special plans for them, I'll play my part. You just have to play yours. Now do we understand each other?"
The blue alien grinned "I'll need to acquire some things, in fact several things. I'll need to start a list and find a way out if this prison." The figure smirked "that I can help with."

Yay that Epel and Kalim get to still the watch as kids. Not so yay and dang it that Riddle and Idia didn’t get their watches that easily as kids(another reason Ms Rosehearts sucks |:[). Uhhh great, I still want to see it as a thing so uhhh the watches just somehow end up teleporting straight into Riddle’s and Idia’s room or something(and it calibrates real faster like, just after one hour to maybe a one whole day[maybe after little Riddle and little Idia go back to sleep])
:'3
Well for Idia and Riddle's cases we can go a more 'the chosen one' route if we want a fast calibrating too. U-U
Have Azmuth realise that for the omnitrix to not have such a big imprint of energy and be easily tracked by other aliens, they needed someone to wield it, to house it and hide it so that it would never be found. At first, one may think that it would be hard, knowing that all the planets know about this.
All... Except twisted wonderland and earth.
Entering Yuu, an earth peep that was kidnapped cow style by aliens and ended up rizzing their way through an entire fleet. This shrimp mf is brought to Azmuth and explains how earth is unsuitable because of government shit and also the fact that any alien activity would immediately be known on national TV or dragged straight to aera 51.
So twisted wonderland, as a planet with inhabitants that use magic, can easily bypass. This world had magic and was quite isolated, to the point no other alien species knew shit about how magic works or if there is any limit to it. It would be perfect!
So after intensive research, Yuu is deemed as the one who has to deliver the omnitrix. Of course, it was regulated so that Yuu won't be immediately attached to the watch after all.
In Riddle's case, Yuu presents themselves as a space scientist, with a bunch of PDAs and diplomas and whatnot. They were 'stationing' in the city, mostly to take someone for titulage. Of course, there was a 'test' that everyone who applied had to go through.
Of course, Mrs Rosehearts sees it as a great opportunity. A Scientist with such awards and shit who was willing to take an apprentice, was a stellar opportunity for her son. Not only will it leave her with more time to gain more prestige at her job, she would be assured Riddle would get absolute top education, while also keeping him away from those 'pesky poorly raised kids down the street'.
Of course, Riddle was absolutely bummed about it, since he was suddenly told that he will go and take a test and that if he passes, he would have to stay for years in the other side of the city with some scientist he never heard about.
Yuu's test, surely, was something that Azmuth designed. Something that would prove both mind and humility. And Riddle, who didn't want to pass it at all, manages to prove that he doesn't want that prestige he would have from being under Yuu's titulage, he just wanted home and to play with Trey and Che'nya after all.
This is what makes him pass. As such, Yuu doesn't question that this was a mf kid. Just give this insanely powerful device and let's get down to business. :'3
Now for Idia, Yuu presents themselves more straightforward. But because still, there had to be a trial and error, no one was getting their ass on the risk. Still, Yuu was kind(and a rizzler) and helped around with all the researches and everything.
Now, the Shroud brothers, being curious little kids, were absolutely amazed by this space mf. Yuu tells them all kinds of stories, how they rizzed a fleet and have like... 27 husbandos waiting for them back there or how they fought as a plumber or that one time they put their ass on Azmuth's printer and it was broadcast all over Galvan.
Basically Yuu becomes some sort of spiritual wine aunt. :'3
Hence why, they were there when the said tragedy day was. Thankfully being trained to deal with all kinds of aliens, for Yuu punting a Phanthom was pretty easy.
But the thing was that it wasn't Idia and Ortho ho wanted to sneak out, but someone Sneaking in. An alien from an enemy side managed to put the Cerberus system on sleep (for plot reasons, because I say so) So that's also when Idia and Ortho wanted to sneak out. If course, they first meet the alien, then came Yuu to the rescue.
But, of course, with a phantom on plan A and an alien on plan B, Yuu couldn't just pull on time until the Charons arrive.
But seeing as Ortho was took by a Phanthom, Yuu decides that yep, it's time to pull the omnitrix card. Idia had one hell of a field trip that day.
Still, Ortho doesn't survive unscratched. He was alive, but this time his arm was cut off, hence Idia made a robo arm to replace it. Still he blames himself for it and bears that guilt, but Yuu reassures that instead of just mulling over it, he could try to better himself and become someone that would make Ortho be proud of. Ya know... That positive encouraging. :3
Yep... Yuu as that very unfit mentor figure with 27 alien husbandos and a wine aunt at heart. That's how I like writing the general Yuu unfortunately. :'3

2022 Omniverse Rewatch + Episode Ranking
Part 2: Arc 2
assorted thoughts/observations:
So do you think that when the Omnitrix recalibrated in Alien Force, that Ben did try and see if the failsafe was only for the original version/if Feedback was one of his new aliens?
Also I like that this series added Ben meeting Azmuth more times in between Secret of the Omnitrix and Alien Force season 2
Yeah, Gwen’s new look looks way better than her look in the first episode
You can tell that Gwen and Kevin are just happy to see him
“just replace Vilgax with a pompous art-history professor” named Xagliv, right?
I like that they emphasized the “transformer” thing
Rook and Kevin’s friendship is very underrated
Gwen reading during her vacation is a mood for me when I was in college. Also as someone who did take college classes when she was in high school, around when these episodes were coming out actually, I can relate even more.
Ooh, someone from Pesky Dust’s species in the background
Kevin secretly being engaged when he was younger explains why his and Gwen’s relationship wasn’t really defined I think
AU where Devlin was Kevin and Looma’s kid
I really like Gwen in this episode so far, she’s very reasonable
Okay that moment is still kind of weird? Like I still don’t really get why she reacted that way
Why would Ben say “you and what army” to a Tetramand, of all people?
If I had a nickel every time that Kimberly Brooks played an alien princess, I’d have two nickels. That’s not a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.
I think this is Bumper Robinson as the radio voice? He sounds like this series’s version of Doc Saturday. Also yeah, the robots from Dimension 12 come back later.
Wait, is that from the show Rook likes, or actual news?
Those fish sound terrifying.
I prefer Jury Rigg fully clothed.
“next time I see Azmuth, I’m gonna step on him” Malware would say the same
I really do like this look for Diamondhead, it works for him
“galactic collectors”, like who?
So this villain is like Brainiac but not scary or cool, and with boats instead of cities or planets.
So when exactly did the Nemetrix become unstable?
Also how does Malware know about the Plumbers
Would still love a fic about Malware and Khyber and what they did while he was gone
The Omnitrix has failed plenty of times and you know it.
Pyronite Psyphon and Mechamorph Fistina do look cool.
So how do they know him exactly?
Also how does Ben know those aliens’ weaknesses, I don’t think they’ve ever been used against him before
He literally turns into the chad version of whatever species it is
Hey, Malware, you did say Tennyson was inconsequential, so really what did you expect him to do?
And they certainly will worry about number 23 later
The Omnitrix is being extremely nice to Ben this episode, giving him two of his heavy hitters
But maps still exist, don’t they?
Ben is very considerate.
Is this implying that the cat and the squirrel were together?
You lost your metaphor there, buddy
What a goddamn tease (and I love how that turned out)
So I guess Tara is trying to do a Midwestern accent?
Also she’s going to be glad she didn’t get Kangaroo Commando soon. Isn’t he still in prison? Or would that be his brother?
I still appreciate him doing the Bumblebee voice
Shouldn’t the tank be losing water?
Heatblast is not the alien you want if you want to save a giant wooden thing, right
@justmenoworries recently did a rewrite of the Malware arc, proposing that this be a Malware-centric flashback instead, and I’m all for that, I wish that had been the case
Still can’t tell if that’s Corey or not. Okay, wiki has him credited as “Alarm” in addition to voicing Malware, Brainstorm, and a Plumber, so it’s finally confirmed that it is actually him I’d say.
Fittingly enough, Malware is kind of both a giant robot and a monster tentacle thing
So what he’s doing here is kind of staged too, since he’s just the distraction. Interesting.
Ben realizes that that Malware glob could have touched the Omnitrix, right?
If it’s a weapon of last resort, why did Max use it?
Goddamn I love his voice so much, I’ll never get tired of it
Did he really drain Feedback to an empty shell?
Ben is smart again this episode, it’s nice to see
Hey so how did Malware get out of the Plumber base in the flashback
And we get our first view of Billions tower!
I love that two of the people who are most often angry at him are front and center in the crowd, showing their appreciation to him
And did we ever find out what Khyber’s reasons are?
I don’t remember why he did that to the truck, exactly
Has Dee Bradley Baker played Starscream yet? Because he’d do a good Starscream.
Bold of Rook to suggest Ben would get his hands dirty, because there’s literally an episode set on a farm where he does everything in his power to avoid that
So how cool would it have been to keep Feedback out of the opening except on young Ben’s side, and then add him to present Ben’s side after Showdown part 2? Unless they did that and I just forgot about it
What exactly is a tesser-burst?
Ben, you’re such an idiot (sometimes affectionate)
If that’s a back scratcher, why is it at the table to begin with?
Yeah, that’s definitely the one we see in Collect This
How many shows does Ben have?
Yeah, you kind of don’t know him that well, actually
Like, how well would they be able to deal with this whole thing if Ben and Rook weren’t there?
Also I appreciate that Rook’s family is all voiced by non-white actors! (specifically, Alanna Ubach, who’s Mexican/Puerto Rican, Kimberly Brooks, who’s African-American, Eric Bauza, who’s Filipino-Canadian, and of course Bumper Robinson himself, who’s also African-American)
Man. It would have been real interesting to see Max and Gwen’s reactions to Malware coming back to life, seeing as how they saw him blow up too. And of course also Azmuth reacting to the same, as Malware is his son.
Wait, could Gwen have sensed Malware’s mana? Do Mechamorphs have mana?
God. Malware was imprisoned on his fucking home planet, waiting for Azmuth, unable to interact with his society because his touch was poisonous to them.
How long was he there?
It would’ve been real neat to get stuff from his point of view, in general
Oh yeah, these are those same robots from that one Ultimate Alien episode, right?
How many fanboys has Ben dealt with?
He has multiple people who would count as his nemesis and/or destroyer, I think.
Uh, they just cut a fuckin’ building in half.
So did Billy know Ben’s secret?
Wait, so how does Dimension 12 work?
Hasn’t it only been like, 3 or 4 times total?
Also why would he not be famous as a kid as well as a teenager? I mean, Ben 23’s famous and he’s like 13
Why was that the thing that confirmed it was Ben?
The best response, from Max
Oh man, and then Billy teams up with Captain Nemesis later
Hell yeah, Ben, call him out!
I feel like I.Q. Lad could be a rejected name for Brainiac 5
So how far can Fistina send one of her fists?
“knock over” the jewelry store?
God, Ben, you’re such an idiot (derogatory)
Fucking leave her alone!
“thank the Proteans”?
Aww, it is nice that Ben has talked about Gwen and Kevin to Ester
“Undertown-adjacent. Hotties only” gosh Ester
I do like that Ben remembered his promise to be a good neighbor
Does Looma really love him?
Wait, wasn’t she only supposed to return in 3 years?
So why does she not want to fight girls, anyway? Is she just straight?
Okay, that is a very cool motorcycle
SHIP, MY BOY
“my parents’ house” so like. Does he not live there anymore?
I like all of these women, actually, they deserve good stories
Every existing predator, really?
“in the known universe” so is there an unknown universe or something?
Okay, so it is “fluke”. I never quite understood what they said until I saw this episode with captions.
So how does that Mechamorph have something that looks like a flashlight on their arm cannon?
Just gonna paste my text post from I think earlier this year here: also you know what’s interesting about showdown part 1? so in the intro, you get Psychobos speaking first, then Khyber, then Malware. All three of them get a line each.
and then in the rest of the episode, there are two times someone asks “Malware?”
The first time (when the Galvan museum is locked down, trapping Azmuth inside), Psychobos answers, and the second, we don’t get a spoken answer, but we see that Khyber has taken the Nemetrix but left his dog behind.
The third actually comes in the beginning of showdown part 2, when basically someone asks “Malware?” and the answer is finally yes.
Hey, you said you were an open book, Ben.
Did the Plumbers keep track of that or something?
Most of your aliens are awesome and cool, Ben.
Wait, so does Rook think this is an Alien X type of situation
Heatblast’s look in this series is still very cool, I think.
So where was Malware during this? Like, he was on Galvan B five minutes before the end of this episode, but right here, was he just waiting on the ship?
It only took weeks to create the Nemetrix, really? Even then, that was only because he had a partial blueprint of the Omnitrix.
I know I dunk on Azmuth a lot for being a terrible father, but yeah, he is very smart and I appreciate that.
And this isn’t the first time he’s been trapped in an arena of sorts, nor is it the only time he will be.
I thought he was immune to Hypnotick? Unless whatever it uses coming from a different place makes the hypnosis and whatnot stronger this time.
Poor Zed, man.
So did Azmuth add that DNA sample to the Nemetrix, or did Khyber already have it and Azmuth just unlocked it somehow?
Oh wait, I guess Rook didn’t know that. But hadn’t Ben already known that Khyber and Malware were working together?
Gosh, I really like the way Corey says “creation”
So did Ben think that the Omnitrix was broken forever because Malware destroyed Feedback?
Like just the original Omnitrix, or this new one too?
So where are these Mechamorphs flying in from?
I guess Malware just killed them all
Man. Imagine how it must feel for him, coming back to his home, and specifically the device that made him, and using it to get revenge on his father and destroy the beings who he thought didn’t deserve Azmuth’s attention as much as Malware did.
Also how powerful is his eye beam, I guess, to be able to activate explosions all over Galvan B? I still don’t really know how that worked.
I like that they showed Zed escaping, that’s nice
Also Ben just shoves Rook off that thing, I don’t think he deserved that
I still remember every word of this conversation too, thanks.
So I always thought it was “favorite”, but according to the captions it’s “favored”? Interesting.
And the word “father” isn’t in quotation marks here.
I hate that this is canon justification for that one fic, you know the one
And what does Malware taste like, Ben?
I don’t know what they’re talking about, it would be really cool to see an AU where Malware did win and become a living planet
Also “viral attack” my dude, you named him MALWARE, you had this coming!
I like that they used the word “shockwave” to describe what he caused, because of one of Corey’s other most famous roles.
I’m still bitter that they didn’t have Kevin learn more about Malware, and be sympathetic to him.
Why is pocket change the solution for everything?
Again, he emphasizes Ben’s loyalty to Azmuth, which is interesting
If anyone knows about any interviews where Corey talks about Malware or anything involving him working on the show, please let me know about it.
So did Ben literally repress all these memories until now?
Fuck. This is still so good. God, the look on tiny Ben’s face.
So that is the representation of Feedback’s DNA inside Malware, I guess.
Gosh, you can see Chadzmuth running away. Also, ray of doom, motherfuckers.
Feedback popping out of Malware’s head like Athena, ready to wreck a bitch
Once more, Azmuth literally encouraged Ben to use the Helixes to kill his child.
Literally, Ben: “Are we really going to let him keep that?” (referring to Zed), Gwen: “We kept Kevin.”
Also I don’t remember where I said this, or if I ever put it on Tumblr, but I remember writing something at some point about Malware’s team being a dark mirror of Ben’s in a way, with Zed as the Ben equivalent, Khyber as the Rook equivalent, Psychobos as the Gwen equivalent, and Malware as the Kevin equivalent, and that being interesting that these four show up specifically when Ben is without Gwen and Kevin, and just getting used to having Rook around, and I just think that would’ve been really rad if they had gotten to face off all together. Even though I do enjoy how the Showdown two-parter went down in general.
Arc 2 rankings:
Showdown part 2
Showdown part 1
Malefactor
Outbreak
Arrested Development
Bros in Space
Many Happy Returns
Rules of Engagement
Blukic and Driba Go to Mr. Smoothy’s
Gone Fishin’
Basic thoughts: Yeah, you can tell that the arc plot is the best part of this season for me personally, and the rest is fine? I think Gone Fishin’ is the only real filler episode here, because the rest do have characters and whatnot that come back later. Again, bottom 3 are still the same, Arrested Development and Bros in Space are both good plot-wise but have annoying villains, I’m not sure what made me not like Many Happy Returns as much as I used to but yeah that one’s lower than it was when I first saw it. And of course, even after watching it many times, I still love the Malware story, even if I think it could’ve been handled a lot better in retrospect.
Original rankings:
Showdown part 2
Showdown part 1
Malefactor
Bros in Space
Many Happy Returns
Outbreak
Arrested Development
Rules of Engagement
Blukic and Driba Go to Mr. Smoothies
Gone Fishin’

Demons Unleashed ~ Origins of the Ink Demon Gaiden Finale (5/10)
[Crisis City (Classic Ver.) - Tomoya Ohtani]
*IFRIT ROARING*
Eggman Nega : Yes, Ifrit! Yes! Once I have enough more chao to feed, I will have enough more time to get rid of that pesky Robotnik that is always getting in the way! Huh? Where did the chao, who freed them all!? This can't be happening!
(we then show Silver and Espio freeing the chao)
Silver : When it comes to monsters, Gods, and machines, this is what I do religion and no, summoning the Ifrit is a Dark Fantasy thing.
Espio : Quite be to be having this weird friendship, it's not a gay lord thing, it's a friends thing, although you acted like a jerk back in the year 06 in terms of being called a douche.
Silver : Yeah, you're right. I had no chills and I was being savage towards sonic since 06 was retconned, I apologized for that matter. So now that we're freeing all of the chao to get secured by custody, who's going to look after them? Maybe security knows about that.
Espio : Who knows? It's good that we have someplaces needed to be.
Eggman Nega : Who's down there!?
Silver : Yikes!
Espio : Damn we've been detected again! (talks into communicator) Hey, Vector. We finally managed to free all the Chao. Eggman Nega were using these lifeforms to lured to the Ifrit as food. It's no wonder that the villains of our world or universe had the nerves to be so-selfish and get away with everything that is homicide, genocide, or omnicide!
Silver : After 06 mysteries, I don't know how that's gonna work on us!
Vector : (via communicator) That's quite weird so why did a villain from another dimension wanted Eggman's world to be extinct in order to recreate Crisis City.
Espio : Because he's not from another dimension, he's from 200 years in the future of our world.
Vector : (via communicator) That explains how did Nega appeared during the Black Alien invasion since the Dreamcast Era ended over a year ago.
Silver : which is kind of messed up for a bunch of idiots who gave those Emeralds here in our world.
Espio : Don't mind that, stuff let's just get these Chao to safety and get the hell out of here. (tries to leave, but Metal Sonic 3.0 is in the way) Pardon me, sir. It seems that you are in the way.
Silver : Uhh, I think that's Metal Sonic 3.0.
Espio : [he and Silver Looks at each other] Uh-oh.
(Metal Sonic 3.0 chases the two while running around)
Silver & Espio : *SFX : Sonic EXE scream*
Eggman Nega : (chuckles) That'll keep them busy! Alright, on to summoning the Ifrit.
*FLAMES WHOOS+BOOM!*
Blaze : Eggman Nega! So this is what you're cooking! I should've known you were from 200 years in the future, am I not correct?
Eggman Nega : You pitfiful princess, I see that you dare stand in my way of getting what's rightfully mine.
Blaze : Oh no, you don't. Nobody's getting away with it, after our encountered since the Black Arms invasion, I despise of you making a mess between the two fights and then I had a fight over Sonic against you for stealing the Sol Emeralds. Two Eggmans, two worlds, one planet. I am desperate of saving my people from the clutches of you and 200 years in the future. I hope you are going down with the ship, Negative.
Eggman Nega : Oh, I wouldn't mind doing that. Whisker. Can you handle this one with a big knock out. This one has kept it's nine lives with.
Captain Whisker : Arrrgh! With pleasure, matey!
Blaze : Huh? Hey, what the-!? (Whiskers traps her in a sack as scene goes black)
*Waves crashing*
Blaze : (wakes up, groaning) Huh? Where the heck am I? What am I doing here? Hey, what is this place!?
Marine : Oi, Mate! You just made it!
Blaze : Huh? Marine!
"MARINE THE RACCOON : INHABITANT SOUTHERN ISLAND"
Blaze : Marine! What are you doing here!?
Marine : I was in bit of a pickle after Sonic and friends were fighting against fire demon, reminded of the one you sealed with another fire demon from the future.
Blaze : That was retconed a year ago. Sonic 06 has never been same since all evidence and events of the game's story were reset by him, thanks to the Princess of Soleanna! I never fought that would really choke my gizards after Eggman Nega was using that creature.
Marine : I'm afraid so. Guess it's your call to be the lucky one around here.
Captain Whisker : We don't take many visitors from those who has ever roamed the Seven seas! As collecting the Sol Emeralds of getting a 100% completion, I suggested that this will be your final "Walk the plan" and directly send you to Davey Jones with ye! And it makes me go Cattywampus on the poop deck!
Marine : Oi, when did he get into Pirate talk in this time of year. This isn't the 17th century, you know and it's not North Carolina. We're talking it to a major swell here, Mate.
Blaze : You're not having a Big Swelling fever I might ask you that.
Marine : What makes you say that, Mate?
Blaze : That's because we're on the Big Swell!
[Big Swell - Tomoya Ohtani]
Captain Whisker : Sorry for the intrusion, Princess! I'd be gladly ask if you tell me that we were going to retrieve the jeweled to Scepter to the two robotniks from two worlds.
Blaze : What!? So this was all of Eggman's scheme to take the Jewel Scepter that was inside the cave of Corals? That darn scientist, I knew he would come up with a plan on destroying planets. It's not like anyone can get away with attempted omnicide or anything.
Captain Whisker : Introducing the last of the greatest Ghost Machines that scorches ocean floors of your world, Princess!
(Ghost Titant eyes shine)
Captain Whisker : Call him Ghost Titan! A pinnacle of robot energy capable with built-in missiles from it's shoulder, a genuine robot of the greatest pirate army! The ultimate weapon of a pirate!
Blaze : Can't say no to that! Looks like you're gonna regret that on a evening like that every day! I won't let you do this to my world ever again!
Captain Whisker : Enough talk! Let's see if you can outsmart Ghost Titan that is the number one ghost titan of the century!
Blaze : I wouldn't think so. I bigger plans to make it out, you're just gonna cut some slack into it. You dig?
Captain Whisker : What!?
(Bob-Omb noises)
Captain Whisker : Argh! This is driving me nuts!
*DBZ/One Piece SFX : Loud Explosions*
Blaze : Come on, Marine! Let's get of this thing before it blows!
Marine : Right back at ya, mate! (the two runs off)
Blaze : Hang on!
Marine : This is going to get Messy...! JUUUUMP! (the two jumps off)
Blaze : Huaaaaaaaah!!!
*DBZ SFX : Grab*
Marine : Huh? What's going on? Did we dipped our selves into the water no?
Blaze : Whatever it is. Something's grabbing my hand.
Mizune : Hey, you need a lift? You could really use a hand here!
Blaze : Oh, lucky me! A witch.
Mizune : That's top hat Mizune for you. I'm a world-class treasure hunter. Them pirates had been scurvy for some jome kind of Jeweled scepter.
Blaze : I understand that would be the consequences. So how on earth did you manage to catch us quickly?
Mizune : Easy! I did it with the help of my mousey friends.
*DBZ SFX : Surprise*
Marine : Crikey! That's a lot of mices! Good thing that they become a great help!
Blaze : Don't get me crazy on this one, a treasure hunter a bunch of mice from Nintendo. Wait, their mouses big ears.
Mizune : Alright, everyone! Pull us up! Get those muscles working!
Blaze : Well, this considered to be a great help.
Marine : I wonder who should we meet.
(cuts to the three entering the room)
Mizune : Sorry it took so long, sir. I managed to bring the cat and the raccoon girl to get them inside the ship.
Daroach : Good work, Mizune. So you did find out who's been turning the tables wide open.
Mizune : Just a friendly reminder, that mad scientist from 200 years in Sonic's world was going to planet in Omnicide. I don't what the big fusses of what's going to happen for this planet.
Daroach : It's going to be a remarkable deduction on whether that mad man has been feeding off the lifeforms that were a part of the Chaos Heritage. But I felt that the man from 200 years will pay.
[Cutscene : Normal - Serirou Okamoto]
Marine : That's great to hear, mate. Blaze will become something even greater than being a princess. She will become the Princess that seeks just against the man who sabotages the planet for omnicide! No evildoers will make a smart move to destroy the world and that's why the princess is always on the horizon! Thank you! Thank you!
Mizune : Yeah...I reconsidered that to be my own princess of Justice. So much for not giving any instructions on whether you fight or crime or crime doesn't pay a price and I was that cool that it would be all a misunderstanding. So if I'm willing to think that we needed all something that could help the planet be protected and defended from the deadly forces that tried to bring galactic Conquest.
Marine : That's because no jerk would wanna do something bad, and I reconsider that obligated negotiations! So that's why we're saving this planet from evil deterioration, we shall never surrender!
Daroach : You got a point tho. And that's really surprisingly a fact about evil deterioration.
Blaze : We'll do, sir. We'll do. (in mind) Sheesh! When do I give extra credit for being the sole princess that goes solo on my sorry flaming tail. Too bad there's no way that we could pull this one off. [talks out normaly] *clears throat* Thanks for pulling us up, sir. I mean Madam. We somehow managed to get into your ship. So what brings us here?
Jet : What brings you here, (turns chair to reveal himself) is that you got a lot of guts meeting Sonic again. I heard that he collected one of the Eight Pure Hearts that connects to the Eight vessels, known as the Eight Pillars that were used as keys to unleash that "what-ya-gonna-call it" into the galaxy.
Blaze : It's Darkness, Jet of the Babylon Rogues. Of course Sonic was given a Green Pure Heart from the boy who created Soul World due to leading to the 1000 year annihilation in the Ohkuboverse. What did you brought something in your hand?
Jet : This? This one on my hand is the Ark of the Cosmos, we are not destined to meet a reunion by the year 2008, that's when this 14-year old meister chick is going to have her very own TV show, which will lead to her humiliation.
Blaze : Ark of the Cosmos, Maka, TV show? 2008. That's the year when Sonic and the others will face new dangers, but he will face the entire world of dangers before...he could even join Smash. That's his own prediction of Joining as Smash Bros.'s first third-party characters to join the fight. This could change everything since we participated in the Olympics. I will help him out, so that's why I decide that we will take down the evil forces that have been unleashing the demons into this world! So help me out with this one! It's time for me to gather the Sol Emeralds and become Burning Blaze once more!

I made a post on how I think Superman, Clark Kent, would enjoy tea over coffee. And that got me thinking on other things.
Point 1) Clark knows the times and dates of every flea market and farmers market in and around Metropolis!
Why? He grew up on a farm and I feel like he’d be more then welcome to the idea of supporting farms in the area where he lives to fill in for anything his parents can’t send to him. There are all those pesky restrictions on what you can and can’t send through the mail.
Point 2) I dunno why but I feel like Clark would change accents when he gets upset.
Now let’s think about this. On tiktok Pandared mentioned the new Jersey accent for those that live in Gotham. Because that’s where canonically Gotham city is located. So if that’s the case then Metropolis is in New York. We as people would adapt to where we live and sometimes that is displayed in our speech. So after some time Clark would pick up a kind of New York accent, but if you can get him mad enough you will not understand what he is saying because he’s speaking so fast on top of the southern accent that would come out.
I’m actually surprised by how much I’m focusing on Superman considering my interest for the past seven or six years has solely been batman and anything I could find on him.
Can I just say it’s bullshit that they don’t have like their localized accents. I’m guessing it’s because the fictional cities in the DC universe are supposed to be Anywhere-ity USA, which is just bullshit.
Cause like a lot of people have come to the conclusion that. Metropolis is in New York, Gotham is in New Jersey, Starling city and Jump city are in California (jump city specifically because the other tower was referred to as titans East, you cannot change my mind unless you would like to point me to a place where it says otherwise), Central City is in the mid west (I have the exact location written somewhere but I really should type it.) and so on and so forth.
But it would be more realistic for them to have localized accents.
Also I die on the hill that is Bruce wouldn’t have a concrete accent he’d have a hint of one he would probably have mimicked certain phrases that Alfred said when he was child because children do that, they slip out from time to time. Because the general time that would have for kids to pick up an accent starts from when they’re a child learning how to speak, you can learn accents, but Bruce’s parents died when he was around ten years old his accent was already set.
Concerning the other kids I agree: Jason, Tim, Duke, and Steph as Gothimites should absolutely have a New Jersey accent. They grow up in that city.
Point 3) circling back to Clark’s parents, can you imagine an alien baby who doesn’t know how to regulate his strength? Because I feel like everyone would be worried about getting hurt by Clark.
Clark has such a happy backstory –I know being raised by someone a different species than you after your home planet was destroyed isn’t happy but bear with me– unlike some of the super heroes Clark was probably the one raised with the most love and kindness. Not that he would ever realize that somethings different about him the Kent’s tell him that they found him and didn’t give birth to him, but in every iteration I’ve seen so far he kind of accepts it. But here’s the thing that is bothering me how did Clark learn to regulate his strength as not to cause harm to the humans around him?
Did they have an accidents with him accidentally using his powers or did he learn them all on accident?
I feel like Clark would try to help his ma in the kitchen and accidentally cut his hand and the knife breaks instead of his skin, because duh, and his ma is trying to figure out how to come figure out the best way to explain this to her child.
What if he accidentally messed up a field because he sent the crops into early winter with his frost breath?
I find all these questions to be super important for know reason than I’m curious what everyone else thinks is the answer. I don’t want to hear “it’s his child hood we don’t care about that”
Because I think the funniest story about batman was that he holds a grudge against Alfred for getting him the wrong sword for his birthday one year. The reason was because at the time Bruce was too small to receive the one he wanted, he still got a sword for his birthday it was just slightly smaller and better for his stature at the time.
Next concerning Superman’s kids. Disagree with me if you want but I think that he would just end up with the two boys. Like the Superman family thing… yeah you have Kara and that’s pretty much it because you know the planet was wiped out. The only way is accept any other Kryptonians existing would be tears in the space time continuum. Because story wise it wouldn’t make any sense unless there were Kryptonians on other planets which would be a viable point, but in every show or movie so far that hasn’t been suggested or recognized.
That’s it for now.
#just rambling#dc superman#a bit of Batman#Superman#just thinking and speaking#if this one gets more attention I’d be sad#I don’t usually go off on my thoughts about superhero stuff because I don’t know if I’m allowed m

"Into The Horizon" - Part 1 (A quick and dirty synopsis)
So, I don't remember if I ever posted this or not but remember that mega-fic saga I was writing and abandoned?
I've decided to post synopses for all the parts on the off chance that someone might potentially give a damn or want to know how the story ended.
Note: This is just Part 1, "Vanished With The Dawn". That story is on AO3 in full. Again, this saga will never be fully completed, but it will be listed here for... I dunno. I guess this is just my way of saying goodbye.
So, without further adieu.
Synopses Under Cut
Chapter 1 – Into The Mists
It’s 2001.
Meet Tina LaMotte. She’s a rising women’s MMA superstar from Sacramento, California. She likes violence, tea, and the WWE. Very specifically, she likes Shane McMahon who she thinks is the hottest guy in the company. She also enjoys the internet and chatting with her two best online friends Billie and Nikki. They also like Shane.
Shane disappears one day. There is no trace of foul play but also no trace of him. Everyone is sad and tries to cope. Tina, meanwhile, starts having really weird dreams about him calling for her to “come with me”.
Chapter 2 – Traditional Family Ruthlessness
It’s the 28th Century on the other side of the Galaxy.
Meet Shane McMahon. Stolen from 2001 on Earth, he’s been pulled through time and space to the outskirts of a galactic empire called “The Gorosian Empire”. Now, he’s just trying to move up in the world he’s been stuck in for over a decade, namely a futuristic arena fighting syndicate where he’s just gotten promoted. Now he’s helping promote the show. Unfortunately for the syndicate, they have a ton of competition. Lucky for Shane, the 28th century knows nothing of his father’s methods of destroying those pesky territory systems and it works out really well for everyone, especially Shane.
Chapter 3 – What? Where? When?
It’s still the 28th Century and still the other side of the galaxy.
Now Tina is trapped there too, stolen for usage as a fighter in the same syndicate Shane’s working for (although she doesn’t know that yet). She’s stripped of her name and given a designation – Manu-9172. She is not happy about this. She's also fitted with a Biotechnological device in her neck which allows her to survive in her new environment and a universal translator which lets her understand everyone - More or less. Tina is displeased by all of this as well. The arena circuit or “Heig’on” doesn’t care and she's sent to begin her training.
Chapter 4 – The First Fight
Tina has her first fight in the arena. She was an unbeatable fighter on Earth, and decided to blow off her training sessions because why bother? Unfortunately, aliens don’t share the same weaknesses and her UFC-style tactics don’t work. She is humiliated and decides to try and learn how to fight Heig’on style.
Chapter 5 – The Era of Cathal
Shane has a new name: Cathal. Like Tina, he was stripped of his real one upon arrival and, despite now being a big shot in the syndicate, still isn’t permitted to have it back. But he enjoys his new name (pronounced ka-THALL due to alien translation errors) and is doing well. When he finds out about Tina he is fascinated. There aren’t many other humans in the syndicate. And, oh shit, she’s pretty.
Chapter 6 – Musings of an Ancient God
Meet The Songminder – a non-binary time-displaced telepathic alien superbeing who, like Tina and Cathal (Shane) is also stuck in the Heig’on. Zir extinct species was immeasurably old and too peaceful and passive for its own good and, after being brought far forward through time to the 28th century, Zhe tolerates being in the Heig’on for the sake of Zir best friend Cathal. Also, the two of them are plotting a rebellion against the Heig’on, so that keeps Zir around as well.
Chapter 7 – Life and Times in ‘Sa Heig’on a Manu’
Tina is fighting and winning in the Heig’on. Along the way, she does everything in her power to absorb her new surroundings including learning the language (Gorosian). She also learns several other things including basic Gorosian history and the disturbing fact that none of the slaves revolt because the Heig’on Masters have a particularly horrid torture technique called “The Living Hell” that makes you wish you were dead but never grants you the luxury. When she’s not learning though, she’s fighting. This includes frequent matches to the death or “Monto” fights. (Non-deathmatch fights are called “Gontzos”) They bother her at first but she adjusts. After five or so years, she is invited to join a deathmatch tournament. She accepts and, as a qualifier, is pitted against her first human ever. It’s another women’s MMA/UFC woman with sandy blonde hair, a mean face, and a wicked armbar. She kills the woman and goes on to reach the championship match. Before it, though, she discovers that she can never go home (due to lack of technology) and that humans went extinct by the early 22nd century.
Chapter 8 – The Grandest Stage in The Galaxy
Cathal, now one of the highest ranking officials in the Heig’on, is both excited and terrified about the championship fight. On one hand, the reigning champion is an undefeated, nearly invincible rock creature that will very likely kill his new favorite fighter (Tina). However, if anyone can beat the bastard, it’s her, and he really hopes she can succeed as it means that he will finally get to meet her.
Chapter 9 – The Bronze Inferno and The Great Wall
Tina enters the ring with the Champion, dismayed to find out it’s a creature she’s never fought before and has no idea how to beat. She tries anyway and comes dangerously close to losing before accidentally finding his one weakness and killing him. She is crowned champion and, soaking up the fan’s adoration, vows to be on top of the Heig’on forever.
Chapter 10 – Small World, Big Galaxy
Tina is cleaned up and taken to meet the big boss who has been pulling the strings for her since she arrived. She’s shocked to find out it’s Shane friggin McMahon. Shane, meanwhile, is stunned to realize she knows who he is as he had originally thought her to be from decades after his time. Things get complicated though when sparks start to fly. Literally. There’s this weird electricity current that flows when they make direct contact and, to Tina’s surprise, Cathal asks for her to be his date to the tournament ball. She accepts.
Chapter 11 – To Be a Person Again
Tina, for the first time in over half a decade, is being treated like a person. On top of that, she’s been permitted to leave the Heig’on compound and visit another planet for a grand ball as the guest of honor. On Shane’s arm no less. But Shane isn’t the Shane she remembers from TV. He has mood swings and is aggressive and angry. He seems to get angrier as the night progresses and she realizes that she might get executed before her reign can even begin.
Of note: Upon leaving the Heig’on for the first time, Tina finally gets a look outside and realizes they aren’t on a planet or even a space station. They’re on a moonbase to a gas giant. She files the knowledge away for later.
Also of note: Rather unexpectedly, Tina and Shane travel to the grand ball, not via spaceship, but by a teleporting speeder that Shane named Ann’A, after Marissa.
Chapter 12 – A Puzzlement
Cathal has no idea what the new champion is going to him. She keeps sending electric shocks into him when they touch and she’s making him feel emotions again which, after over two decades in the Heig’on, he’d managed to get rid of. The particular emotion that that makes him feel is anger but, on a suggestion, he decides to spend the rest of the night with her to try and “sort her out”.
Chapter 13 – We Aren’t In Greenwich Any More
Tina finds herself taken to a lush garden with a treehouse and a surprising amount of privacy. There are no cameras, guards, or any surveillance in this place and she and she has a candid conversation where, after an outburst, Cathal admits that he is feeling for her and has her speak his real name. She does and he makes a vow to protect her in the Heig’on for as long as he can. This includes taking her on as a live-in side piece and personal assistant. Tina is stoked. She’s gonna get laid! By Shane!
Also, she finally earns a name:
Solara.
Chapter 14 – Love Is A Battlefield
Cathal is concerned about Solara’s “Test” to become his companion. She’s already been installed as his PA but being his sex companion involves a test with a rather large amount of domming that he isn’t completely comfortable with. Also, the thought of his prized fighter as a hired lover disturbs him. He seeks advice from The Songminder who tells him that he's approaching the situation wrong. Solara won't be his courtesan, she'll be his companion. It comforts Cathal and, during a coffee break with Solara, she proves that she’s happy with being a sub (something very surprising to Cathal) and Cathal realizes it just might work.
Chapter 15 – Beyond the Sunrise
Tina passed the test and moves in with Cathal. However, Cathal is being very distant. He really didn’t like domming her that hard. Tina figures this out and gives him what he really wants – a chance to not be in charge for a while. Turns out, Tina is a switch and, as she finds, so is Cathal. They have a wild night of sex and Tina falls asleep dreaming of Earth and the WWE. When she wakes up soon after, Cathal is there and she takes solace that, although she’s lost her entire life on Earth, she’s made a new one in the Heig’on and, even though there are no windows in the compound, she knows there will be sun.
Part 2 will be posted as soon as I get the synopsis written.
Again, not sure if anyone cares, but I'm doing this mostly for me.

Poison
Loki x Fem!Reader
A/N: This is my first ever Loki fic. And after a writing break of 5 years my first fic in a while... I hope some of you might like it. Sorry for bad grammar, english isn’t my first language.
inspired by Poison by Alice Cooper
Summary: Loki doesn't want to confront these new feelings that urk him for a while now.
Word count: 2.337
He never thought this could happen to him. Anybody but not him. Loki, prince of Asgard, Odinson, burdened with glorious purpose. He was above everyone in this pesky tower. No filthy Midgardian could reach him in his glory, intelligence or Witt.
And still he stood there, head over heels in love with her. It was just so different with Y/N. He had an instant connection when he first met her at the Stark Tower.
All the other avengers had protested when Thor brought Loki down from Asgard. Nobody wanted to even acknowledge his presence at first, talking about him, like he wasn’t standing two steps away from them. But when they acknowledged his presence, they would give him death glares. Loki chuckled at their childish behavior. Did they think they could kill a God with those pathetic glares? Yet he preferred it when they ignored him.
They argued and yelled for a long time. Meanwhile Loki was leaning against a wall, rolling his eyes at their antics for at least the hundredth time this hour, when a huff from couch catched his attention. Had it been occupied all that time?
“How is one supposed to concentrate, while they’re making a circus.” she groaned. Loki furrowed his eyebrows slightly. Was she talking to him?
“Wanna join me in the library? You seem like you could use some peace of mind as well. And they seem like they will need some more time ‘til they find a conclusion.” she continued, still looking at him. Loki quickly looked behind himself, making sure nobody was standing next to him.
“Yes, I’m talking to you, grumpy.” she chuckled when they locked eyes again.
“Pardon me, but do you think your friends will appreciate it, if I, a mad man, would sneak away with a helpless little girl? Think of all the things that could happen...” he grumbled huskily.
“First of all, I’m a full grown woman.” she stood up from the couch.
“Second, I’m not that helpless, trust me.” she slowly walked up to him.
“And third, you do you. If the oh so scary and dangerous alien” she mocked him with a pout, “wants to stay with these mad man, have fun.” she smiled at him smugly before turning on her heel, walking out of the common room.
Loki watched her closely until she was out of his sight. He fidgeted with fingers, as he glanced at the still arguing avengers. He took a side step, watching if anyone would take notice. When nobody even turned to look at him, he quickly sneaked into the direction Y/N had disappeared.
Since that evening in the library they were inseparable. Not that Loki would ever admit that he was quite fond of Y/N. Still, he laughed with her over the stupidest things. They shared their deep passion for literature and spells. Often times she was his voice of reason regarding human interactions which made the life in the Stark Tower way more pleasant for everybody living there.
Slowly but surely, Loki wasn't sure what to do with those pesky feelings that bloomed in his chest and got worse every time he saw Y/N.
On one hand he had sworn to himself to concentrate on redeeming himself, no distractions. But one the other hand, Y/N was just perfect. He knew he would never find someone else like her. Like a long seeked puzzle piece, a soulmate, she completed him. Loki was torn apart.. was he even worthy of such a relationship?
"It's just, every time I see her I'm thrilled. I can't think straight." he found himself confessing to his brother while they were sparing in the training room.
‘A new low for me’ he thought to himself. But he hadn’t anybody else he could vent to and god forbid, all this would bubble out in front of Y/N one day. So this was the lesser evil.
"I don't see your problem Loki." Thor shook his head, swiftly blocking a punch of his brother. "You two are perfect for each other! Just go and tell her"
"It's not that simple.. you know I don't need any distractions." Loki hissed.
'And it's not like she would be interested' he sulked. Y/N was very focused on missions. She trained excessively trying to master her powers, always in search of expand and strengthen her abilities. And it showed. She had become an essential part to the team, always on the front lines while on missions.
"Oh.. wow" Thor chuckled "Now I know what your problem is. Have you ever tried to see a relationship not as a distraction and more like an enrichment? I mean, especially with Y/N! Has your friendship with her ever restricted you in any way?"
"No, bu-" Loki wanted to interrupt, but Thor didn't stop rambling. The fight between the two gods had stopped by now.
"See! You two always gosh about your books or that seidr stuff and since you two train together you would also have quality time together. I mean you already spend most of your time with her. So there wouldn't even be hat much of a change. Heck, just grow some balls Loki! Where's your confidence all of a sudden? Not so mischievous anymore more, are you?" Thor teased his little brother.
Loki scoffed but he knew Thor was kind of right. But new doubt raised. Loki wasn't ready for a relationship at least that's what he told himself. And even if he would have the guts to tell Y/N the risk of her rejecting him and therefore loosing her was too high. With no voice of reason to his side he had decided to back up from Y/N, to leave his thoughts time to rearrange but manly he hoped to reduce all those feelings for Y/N.
"Well, we never know" he murmured to himself.
"Please don't tell me you already screwed it up!" Thor shook his head in disbelieve.
Loki didn't answer. Instead his gaze was fixed on something behind Thor. As Thor turned around, he saw Y/N entering the training room. She smiled at the two men and waved. Thor smiled widely, waved back before he turned back to his brother. But he was gone a long time ago. Thor saw him stalking down the opposite way towards the second entrance.
"What was that about?" Y/N asked as she reached Thor.
"I don't know." Thor shook his head.
"He's so distant at the moment. I think I might have upset him with something but I don't what I did.. do you know anything?" Thor saw the hurt in Y/N eyes.
"He...I-I...," he let out a long breath "You know what, I think it's better if you ask him that yourself." he gave Y/N a quick side hug, pushing her to the door Loki had just exited.
"Loki!" a way too familiar voice called after him. Her words feeling like needles and pins in his skin.
"Loki! Come on, stop walking." But Loki refused the request, not willing to stop in his tracks and face the cause of his misery. Y/N began to grow more and more frustrated.
A cold little hand grasped Lokis wrist, turning him around with a sweep. His wrists burning under her touch.
"Loki! What the heck is wrong with you??" Y/N huffed breathlessly because she had to hurry to reach Loki with her little steps.
"What have I done to upset you so badly?" she questioned him. She looked deeply concerned and hurt. Loki hated himself that he made her feel that way. And he hated himself even more for what he was about to do... or what he wouldn't do. He just looked at her, a bored expression.
"So you're just not going to answer me then, are you?" she was disappointed. Disappointed in him for being so stubborn and in herself because she just couldn't figure out what she had done to him. And to her she obviously had done something terrible since Loki refused any kind of interaction.
"Please Loki, just tell me what I did! If I offended you, please, trust me, it wasn't on purpose..." she quietly sniffed, tears brimming in her eyes.
'Why is she so pure.. Why does she care so much??' Loki thought to himself. 'Can't she just make it easier and leave me be? She makes it so hard for me..' He began to shift nervously.
"Was it because of the conversation last month at dinner? Since then you're weird... all I said was that I could understand why Tony confused illusion projection and duplication casting with one another. I mean I even got them mixed up in the beginning. But I also said that-" before she could end her rambling two strong arms pulled her against Lokis chest.
He hugged her tightly, afraid that what he was about to do would change everything. So he wanted to hold her just one more time and just a little while longer, knowing that when he let go of her, he would loose her forever.
Silence fell over them. Loki enjoying the closeness which he had missed for almost a month. Y/N, too surprised by the sudden embrace to do anything else, hugged back, cherishing the sensation of their embrace.
"Erm...," she began after some time "I'm still not entirely sure whats going on" she mumbled against his hard chest.
Silence.
"I mean, don't get me wrong, I like this... but can you just tell me what's going on in your mind right now?" Y/N said, slowly pulling away from Loki to look him in the eyes.
"I can't do this anymore." Y/N pulled away entirely.
"W-what? What do you mean, Loki?" her eyes getting bigger and bigger.
"Exactly what I said Y/N. I can't do this, us anymore."
"Why not? What have I done?" she breathed out.
"Why not?" he laughed sarcastically " Why not? Because you're like poison."
"Aha, poison?" she huffed. A total change in her manner "Care to explain?"
"Y/N, I don't think you’d-"
"Try." crossing her arms over her chest she gave him a death glare.
"This!" He pointed at her gesture. She looked rather confused so he tried to explain more "You know exactly what I think about distr-.. about focusing on my redemption." She nodded.
"And?"
"And, well.. doesn't it explain itself?" Loki was anxious. He didn't want to spell it out. But Y/N still didn't seem to get his point. He could see that she began to grow more impatient by the minute, frustrated and confused. It would be the best to just be blunt. She would be gone after this conversation anyway, so what did it even matter?
"I never felt anything more than friendship to anyone. Or at least that's what I told myself. Every time we're together you make me so happy, you just know me. You always show that you care and then you get even more perfect and we share the same intensive passion for literature, seidr and so much more. And it scares me. I never felt that way for somebody.
I'm helpless, it's like I'm caught in your web. I wanna hold you but my senses tell me to stop, I wanna kiss you and I want it so much. I don't know how but you got under my skin. It physically hurts me to see you, to hear you, to feel you. I want you so badly. But... but I can't have you. I can't have you because sooner or later I'll hurt you and then I'll loose you anyway. And I'm not willing to do that because.. because I love you. It would kill me." Lokis gaze dropped to the floor, not willing to meet Y/Ns. The whole time she had just listened, creasing her eyebrows, watching how every word spilled over Lokis lips. An unreadable expression on her face.
"And you never thought of telling me that?" she asked after what felt like centuries for him. Lokis eyes slowly scanned her face. Tears brimming in her eyes. He knew it, now she would hate him, hate him for not controlling his emotions and ruining their friendship. But then there was a smile too... a timid little smile. Wasn't she mad?
"You can be really stupid sometimes, you know that?" she hit his chest. "And all this time I thought I offended you. You could've just come to me and we could've talked about it like friends do! And the last time I've checked we've been best friends..." now Loki was the clueless one.
‘Shouldn't she be more upset?'
"But you're right, I guess we aren't friends anymore" she sniffled.
'There it is..'
"Because there's more between us!" And without a warning she raised herself on her tiptoes, gripping Lokis shirt and leaning in. On half of the way she stopped, allowing Loki to pull away if he felt uncomfortable with her action. But instead he closed the remaining space, lips crashing together. His hands rested on her hips pressing her flush against him.
'How good she feels' he thought.
When they pulled away breathlessly Loki rested his forehead against Y/Ns. He slowly opened his eyes to see Y/N with a wide grin.
"What was that?" he whispered looking directly into her eyes.
"Exactly what I did." she smirked. Loki let out a chuckle.
"But what about our future? Our plans?"
"I don't see a problem with that. We already proved that we don't distract each other. It's unlikely to become a distraction now."
“I can’t promise you that.” he teased her, earning another hit to his chest. He cupped her face, softly stroking her blushing cheek with his thumb.
"But you're right,” he watched her in awe, “let's see this as an enrichment." Loki grinned, remembering Thors words from earlier. He pulled her into another kiss, smiling to himself.
For the first time in so long, he was truly happy, knowing that she was his and if he would let go of her, she wouldn't be gone.

a yearning nation’s blueeyed pride
honestly there is just like. no point as of Witch (if not earlier) in thinking about Marrow and Winter as following along the same defection path, and downright facile to compare the two in terms of who is “closer” to defecting and therefore “less problematic” (even setting aside that making value judgments along those lines in fiction is...never that straightforward), when the narrative has emphasized REPEATEDLY how they are on entirely separate tracks in terms of character and role in the Atlas military.
seriously, it’s like saying “this orange is bad because you can’t eat the peel like you can eat an apple skin”
so like, yes, Marrow is the one who has verbally expressed his misgivings, and has clearly articulated scruples (as opposed to just the dial-up noise) and will blurt them out any second now as soon as he gets a word in edgewise. but also: Marrow HASN’T gotten a word in edgewise (except with Winter, fancy that), and has done approximately fuck all to actually subvert the system that he is growing to hate. both his theory and lack of praxis are tied into Marrow’s relatively low, overlooked position in the Atlas system, and feed into the fact that for Marrow the project of Atlas is not personal.
Marrow joined the military on ideological grounds. he clearly does want personal connection, but that has been denied him at every turn, largely by his teammates, largely by his partner, all of whom use him to enforce their own struggles with the clash between political duty and personal grief. he has been alienated by the system he upholds, which started even before we meet him. this makes it much harder for him to rebel in deed, because he doesn’t have a lot of power to begin with and he knows the system will not protect him if he does; at the same time, that relative powerlessness and isolation keeps his investment in Atlas abstract, uncomplicated, and much easier to dispel. Marrow is still with Atlas because he has a job to do, because it’s his duty, because he is still clinging to the Atlas military’s illusory altruism. he wants Penny to come with them so she can save Atlas. his protestations at seeing Team FNKI, that they are “just kids,” comes from the belief that it is categorically wrong to send children into battle. what is keeping Marrow from defecting is belief, and once the belief is shattered--like, say, when his boss’ new ingenious plan is to Nuke the Poors--there is nothing keeping him around.
and once his path is set he will not waver, because Atlas, by design, has no hold on him materially or personally (outside of his own life, which he was already happy to dedicate to a cause). Marrow then, is the limit case of Atlas being hoist with its own petard: an exemplar for how it gives its people nothing while demanding everything, but also an exemplar for how quickly the entire system folds in on itself when the veil is lifted. when Marrow defects (and it IS when) it will represent Atlas as a whole defecting from itself, even if we don’t see it visually--from the civilians, to the enlisted soldiers, to perhaps even members of Marrow’s own team.
NONE of the things i just mentioned really apply to Winter, because there is nothing about Atlas that is not personal for Winter.
i have no doubt that Winter is in some ways invested in same abstract principles that swayed Marrow, but that is constantly overridden by the fact that Winter has family at all sides of this, even before everything fell to shit, and the narrative will not stop reminding her.
“what about your sister?” “would you say the same thing if it was your sister inside?” her father was gunning for a seat on the Council. the man who took her in is essentially Head of State. Penny has made herself Public Enemy Number One, and Weiss is actively abetting her. even Whitley has now thrown himself into the fray, unbeknownst to her. and another person might be better at compartmentalizing all this the way Winter clearly wants to, and stick to the party line, but Winter cannot, because the more i watch her the more i’m convinced that the current crisis in Atlas is just a microcosm of the real issue, which is to say: everything is personal in Atlas for Winter, because everything is personal for Winter.
at a moment-to-moment level, and especially when backed into a corner, Winter defaults not to ideology but her tightly coiled lattice of personal relationships. and this makes perfect sense, because Winter grew up in a household where she had to perpetually crisis respond, and then she never stopped. Marrow does what he does because he believes in the dream, in making the world a better place, and therefore it is more difficult in some respects for him to defect, because it involves taking a long hard look at and then rejecting the structures he bought into and made himself complicit in. once lines are crossed and he DOES do that, though, he’s home free. for Winter, there are no lines to cross, because all Winter wants in the end is to throw her arms around everyone she cares about and drag them to safety. to keep them there, closely held, where she can see them and make sure that they stay safe.
but what’s tricky about Winter--what’s fascinating to me, what Jacques tried to beat out of her, what James alternately capitalizes on and tries to quash, what she resents about herself--is that in times of crisis (which for Winter is again ALL THE TIME), “everyone she cares about” becomes everyone, so that suddenly she takes a shine to the General’s war machine, so that she’s risking her life to give Penny and Fria a few more seconds of time, so that she’s stepping in front of Elm’s incoming fist, so that she’s letting JYR go rescue Oscar. Marrow has ideals he values, but at her core Winter has nothing but the people, who are real the moment she sees and feels them--real enough to defend, or defend against.
Winter jealously protects her web of people, but that web will also spiral out to infinity if she lets it--so she doesn’t. she has adamantly refused to move out of the mode where she lives present-by-present, only reacting to what is right in front of her, what she has been told, weighing her own life against the people who are closest, and no more. this is unquestionably a trauma response, but it’s also reinforced by 1) her choice to become a career soldier, and 2) the fact that Winter actually HAS quite a bit of power, and she knows that. but she has never trusted herself with any of it, largely because her hypervigilant response to situations has only ever been chastised instead of rehabilitated. Winter knows the weight of her name and her position, but she constantly tries to ignore it, or run away from it, so that she is only ever the heiress, the second-in-command, and never the Queen. she cannot be a leader until she is Good (that is to say, perfect and rational), so she tries to obliterate her power the same time she obliterates that pesky personhood: remaining still for as long as possible, avoiding situations that she knows will prompt action and choice, and when absolutely pushed to think through her power, moving the pieces around with extreme caution, hoping that the world won’t be burnt black by it.
Marrow and Winter are fundamentally at opposing ends of the personal-political bleed, and the story could NOT telegraph it any more clearly than their conversation in Witch, where Marrow makes a personal plea to Winter so that she can make a call far beyond just that, and she refutes him, by reminding him of his obligation to Atlas in the form of impersonal duty.
i’ll conclude by pointing out that there is something very interesting happening with Winter right now, that exceeds her power in-universe. because even as a Schnee, as Ironwood’s protege, what Winter can do is limited (partly because she limits herself), except for how the story has resolutely centered her actions and MADE them significant. in the course of this war Winter has let herself make exactly two choices--both of them noninterventionist, easily justifiable, and not meant to take any ideological stand--and they ended up altering the entire fabric of the war with Salem. all because she loved her sisters more than her duty. all because she was shown a slim chance to save the kingdom and a fourteen-year-old boy, and she thought just for an instant, what’s the harm
(and James Ironwood will never know. that even with his plan, his bomb, all his ships, all his soldiers...he was no match for her. his loyal lieutenant. the only child he will ever have, who has only ever called him “sir.”)
it is not about what Winter COULD have chosen in those moments, if she had the ability to stop Penny and Weiss from leaving, if JYR were even Oscar’s rescuers, in the conventional sense. it is about the fact that she DID make those choices, and the story has made them reverberate, in spite of the fact that she did not mean for them to. Marrow’s story is about being neglected and overlooked by the system, the moment of recognition that it needs you more than you need it, that there are so many more of you, and together you can stop chasing the dream and make your own. Winter’s story cleaves to the heart of not just Atlas, but the RWBY monomyth, which goes something like: stars are like us. the world was created because two brothers could not get along, and sundered because a woman could not cope with her grief. just because you move closer to the elite, to the center, to the top, to the sublime, it does not mean that you move farther from the fallible. we are all, at our deepest layer, people.
but the world does not tremble any less for it.
#winter schnee#marrow amin#rwby#helen writes meta#there is something like. gallingly poetic to the point where it's just shy of kitsch#about the throughline of winter letting penny go and then penny letting emerald go#(and then emerald helping free oscar with JYR and hitching a ride on the other strand winter left trailing behind)#it's not about causation. it's not that simple#it's about the ways that penny is both winter's apotheosis and (dare i say it) mirror#as maidens so often are for each other#so that winter's desperate compromise becomes in penny's hands a transcendent mercy#winter would not have spared emerald. and penny is not there solely because of winter#but they constitute and echo each other even apart in the kingdom of creation#winter might call that being 'human' but penny would call it something else#me yesterday: teehee i think i will make a leetle joke#about how winter has done more for the war effort than ironwood by basically doing fuck all#HOURS AND A ZILLION WORDS LATER#listen. do i regret it? yes. do i wish i'd done something more productive? absolutely. do i wish i could hyperfixate on anything else? ye

Note
I desperately need to know more about your AU with eridium tainted Jack. What’s the incense about? Is that sushi on his desk? Do the eridium treatments hurt?
Sure, I'm fine with talking about it! The AU idea came about after replaying BL2 for the umpteenth time ages ago and letting Lilith kill Jack. I think I may have watched a play through of the Pre-Sequel roughly around the same time and and seeing Zarpedon being touched by the Eridians and thinking back to how Jack lights up like a Christmas tree when Lilith kills him my brain went "What if that somehow brings back Jack to life?"
So I rolled with it and then toyed with the idea of Jack having worked on making an actual "New-U" station(I know they're non-canon) because he wouldn't let those pesky bandits kill him and then wants to live forever. But that New-U was highly experimental and still in the works and then Angel sabotaged the thing before her death, but that still didn't stop him from coming back via the eridium and sheer spite. Gives Blake a heart attack when that happens and practically everyone else at Hyperion.
The incense is one of the few things that can help him stay calm when stressed out. Which works some of the time...
Yep, he's eating alien sushi. He gets weird cravings due to the eridium and all its lovely side effects.
And 80% of the time, the eridium treatments hurt like hell. And then 95% of the time he gets hit with some pretty nasty side effects immediately during/after/or a few hours later in the day that will lay him out for several hours if not a few days. He hates them with a passion. Tries to avoid them when he can but then he starts suffering from withdrawal and that's even worse. When he’s avoid treatment, he usually wears a chunk of eridium around his neck. It works for awhile.
His new condition is a constant hot mess for him to deal with. His body temperature is constantly fluctuating between too hot and too cold. Drives him nuts. And that’s one of the nicer side effects.
He gets moments of clarity of "Oh fuck, this is what I put my daughter through for years" which gets quickly blocked out due to his megalomania and wanting absolute revenge on the Vault Hunters and everyone else that's crossed him.

Captains Orders
Pairing: Peter Parker x venom!reader
Synopsis: a series of scenes following a Captain American fan through the events of finding out Peters secret, losing him, and reuniting
Masterlist
Finding out
“You never know what’s out there. Be ready for anything. That includes an extra pair of underwear in your child’s backpack. Lucky for them, I have my own brand.” Captain America, clad in his old fashioned uniform, held up a pair of underwear on your TV screen. Being as a big of a fan as you were, you tended to leave on his old commercials when they came on.
“I don’t know about the underwear, but I’ll take your advice on being ready for anything.” You smiled as you turned the TV off and climbed out the window that lead to your fire escape.
“Ready?” Venom’s metallic voice filled your ears and you nodded.
“Ready.” You confirmed and jumped off the terrace. You shot a black tendril at a nearby building to anchor yourself as you swung through the streets of New York.
Like you usually did, you encountered Spiderman while you were out on patrol. No matter how many times you explained to him that you only hurt bad guys, he always came after you to try and stop you. In turn, you sent him away with a few broken bones and a couple bruises to keep him at bay. When he approached you on this particular night, you and Venom were in no mood for the usual banter. Venom picked him and and hurled him against a wall before he had a chance to speak.
“Woah woah woah, what did I do? I haven’t even said anything yet.” Spider-mans youthful voice came from behind his mask as he rubbed his head.
“Leave us alone. You have been a thorn in our side since we started patrolling the streets.” Venom growled. “Don’t make us hurt you. We would have no problem crushing a pesky bug.”
“Crushing seems a bit extreme.” Spiderman insisted as he stood up. “Perhaps we could compromise on a simple smush.”
His sarcasm only angered you further, making you charge at him. Spider-Man skillfully slid under you and shot a few webs at your feet, cashing you to fall and roll along the pavement. You angrily ripped his webs off of you, causing Spider-Man to let out a surprised squeak.
“No ones ever broken out of my webs on their own before.” He gulped.
“No one gonna get through chance again.” You threatened as you lunged towards him. As much as you hated to admit it, Spiderman always put up a good fight. For every time you threw him against a building and knocked the wind out of him, he got in a few punches or wiped you off your feet. Growing tired of the nightly routine you had with him, you decided tonight was the last time. You shot a tendril at Spiderman, pulling him towards you at full speed and punching him in the face when he got close enough. This disoriented him enough where you could grab him by the neck and hold him up, grinning wickedly as he struggled to breathe.
You pulled his mask off at the same time he yanked Venom off of you. You immediately looked to Venom, who was laying on the floor, unharmed. You only looked back at Spiderman when you heard him making gawking sounds. Your eyes traveled up his red and blue suit until they landed on the face of your best friend. His jaw was dropped and eyes wide, and your face quickly did the same. You both pointed a finger at each other and froze, now knowing what to do or when. Venom crawled to you and bonded with you but stayed inside as you stared at Peter. Finally, you broke out into a laugh.
“Yo!” You laughed in happy surprise.
“Dude, no way.” Peter looked you up and down, unable to process what he was seeing.
“You’re Spider-Man? The Spider-Man?” You whispered so it wouldn’t catch anyone’s unwanted attention.
“And I take it you’re Venom?” Peter said as he nodded.
“We’re Venom, but yes.” You corrected as Venom rested on your shoulder. “What are the odds?”
“This has never happened before. There are no odds!” Peter exclaimed.
“I can’t believe I’ve been beating the life out of my best friend every night and I had no idea.” You scratched your head in amazement, suddenly feeling guilty about all the bruises and scratches you’d seen on Peter that you now knew you gave him.
“I can’t believe it either.” Peter remarked “Especially since you still ask me to open jars for you.”
“Venom can open jars. I can’t.” You informed him.
“So you’re two different people?” He tilted his head to the side.
“Yes, in one body. Two minds, two personalities.” You listed.
“One love.” Venom spoke up.
“Okay, Venom.” You laughed and patted her head. “What about you? If you have all these crazy abilities, why aren’t you the captain of every sports team by now? You’d crush all those meat heads.”
“If I couldn’t play those sports before I was bitten, I can’t play them after. It’s not fair to everyone else.” Peter told you his philosophy.
“Bitten?” You asked.
“Radioactive spider.” He confirmed. “And you?”
“Symbiote from another planet.” You pointed to the sky.
“Symbiote? So you guys are a host and parasite situation?” Peter couldn’t keep from geeking out a little.
“We don’t like that word. We call it a buddy system. Cause we’re buddies.” You shrugged with a happy smile.
Infinity War
You were at home, eating a big bowl of Cheerio and getting left on delivered by Peter when a rather large space ship pulled up to your window. You dropped your spoon into your bowl in shock and stopped chewing as a bridge extended from the ship onto your fire escape.
“Hey space balls, think you can do something for me?” Tonys voice came from the ship, though you didn’t see anyone inside except a pilot.
“Yeah, sure.” You nodded slowly. “What is it?”
“I need you to help me with something. Get on the ship. And bring your little monster friend.” Tony continued. You swallowed your mouthful of Cheerios and blinked a few times to snap back into focus.
“Sir, I can’t get on that ship.” You said apologetically.
“Why not?” Tony asked.
“Stranger danger.” You said weakly.
“Listen Space Jam, there is a much more imminent danger at hand than the stranger steering the jet. Get on it, or die. Simple really.” Tony quipped.
“Okay.” You nodded confidently and got up. “Should I bring a jacket or-“
“Get on the jet!” He interrupted.
“All right! I’m going, I’m going.” You blew out a nervous breath and walked onto your fire escape. The jet was hovering outside your terrace and you contemplated what to do. Mr. Stark needed you, yes. But you were not equipped to fight the battles he was typically caught in. You could let him down in a big way if you went, and a bigger way if you stayed. The TV caught your attention and you saw one of Captain America’s informercials playing. They were usually dumb and pandered mostly to kids, but you admired him and often found yourself tuning in to what he was saying.
“Go out there and be brave.” Captain America saluted on your screen. Your face lit up in a smile and you stood up straighter.
“Captains orders.” You saluted the TV and ran to board the jet.
Wakanda
The space dog stalked up to Cap, pinning him against a tree with nowhere to go. When the dog was about to pounce, Cap put his arms over his face to protect himself. Just when the dog was about to get to him, you dropped down it front of him. You punched the dog out of the way and turned to asses Cap.
“Hey, you okay?” You asked. Before he could answer, another dog came running at you. You shot a black tendril at a tree, yanked it from the ground, and used it as a bat to ward off the remaining dogs. Once the area was clear, you turned to Steve and pushed him higher against the tree for support. You shot a web at his shield and handed it to him as he watched in admirable confusion.
“Yeah, just locked the wind out of me. Where’d you come from?” He asked as he looked you up and down, not recognizing the giant white spider symbol on your suit.
“Mr. Stark sent for us and flew us down here. We haven’t fought too many people before but he thought we could help.” You explained as you pressed a firm palm against the gash on his thigh, covering the wound with your black goo. When you took your hand away, the gash was gone. Steve watched you in awe as you did the same to other cuts of his.
“Right.” He nodded as he began to watch your face instead.
“Have you seen my friend Peter? He’s my age and kinda short, but if you ask him he’ll tell you he’s average height and I’m like yeah, average height of a woman.” You nervously talked as you healed a cut on Steve’s forehead. “He was supposed to text me when he got to MOMA but he never did.”
“I haven’t seen him.” Cap shook his head, watching you heal a scrape on his elbow.
“Shoot. He better not be here. It’s not safe.” You fretted as you looked up and saw the raging battle all around you. “If you’re okay to keep fighting, we’re gonna go find him.” You looked him over to make sure he was okay to leave.
“You can’t go alone. Thanos will be here any minute. You should stick by me if you’re an inexperienced fighter.” Cap insisted, grabbing your arm so you wouldn’t leave.
“Trust me Captain, I’m never alone.” You smiled gratefully at him for showing concern for you.
“Who are you?” Steve asked in wonder, still not having figured it out.
“Well, my name is Y/n, but we,” you said before turning around and catching an alien about to attack, throwing it across the woods, “we are Venom.”
You turned up to leave, only getting a few paces away before you heard his voice.
“Hey.” Steve shouted after you. You turned to look at him and he smirked.
“You mind giving me a ride?” He asked.
“Hop on.” You smiled. You turned into Venom and let Cap climb on to your back.
“Run as fast as you can.” He commanded.
“Captains orders.” You said as you took off towards the battlefield.
In the battle
You and Venom were punching as many space dogs as you could when a large axe landed a few feet away from you. You went to pick it up to swing it at the dogs, but found it impossibly heavy and unable to be moved.
“Why can’t I lift this?” You called out as you tugged on the handle. Thor ran up to you and picked up the axe with ease, using it to send a wave of lighting towards the advancing group of dogs.
“Because you’re not worthy.” Thor said smugly as he cut an alien in half.
“Why am I not worthy?” You asked as you punched a space dog and sent it flying. “Because I eat people?”
“You eat people?” Steve and Thor said in unison, making your face redden in embarrassment.
Endgame
You sat next to Scott as Steve and Tony argued, quietly looking around to admire the cabin he had moved in to. Peters face flashed among the ones lost in the snap, making you grimace and wipe a stray tear.
“We gotta do this, Tony. I lost Bucky.” You heard Steve plead.
“Who the hell is Bonkey?” You whispered to Scott.
“Some girl I think.” Scott whispered back as he munched on a pop tart. He saw the distraught look on your face as you stared at the montage of people dusted and offered you half of it.
“No. Not happening. It’s over. We lost. I gotta shave.” Tony shut down Steve’s idea of looking for Thanos.
“Please Mr. Stark.” You stood up and everyone looked at you. Your legs trembled as you walked towards your mentor. “Please. We’re the only people with the power to fix this. How can we not?”
“Look, Rocky Horror, I’d love to bring everyone back as much as the next guy. But there is no protocol for this. We have no idea what could happen if we snapped again.” Tony reasoned with you.
“But we know exactly what will happen if we don’t.” You countered. You and Tony stared at each other for a moment. He couldn’t deny that every time he looked at you, he saw the empty space by your side that Peter used to take up. He looked at his feet and sighed.
“Give me five days. If you don’t hear from me, the Time Jinx-“ Tony began.
“Time Heist.” Scott corrected.
“Time to go Eff yourself.” Tony snapped. “If you don’t hear from me, it’s off. Sound fair?”
“Thank you.” You nodded and ran to him to hug him. “Thank you so much.”
~
“Thanks for sticking up for me back there.” Steve looked at you in the rear view mirror as you drove home from Tony’s cabin.
“I can’t say it wasn’t for selfish reasons.” You shrugged. “I need people back too. For the first time in my life, I’m all alone.”
“Who are you doing this for?” Steve asked you.
“Peter Parker. My best friend in the whole world.” You smiled sadly. You did your best not to think about the fact that he was gone.
“I’m doing this for my best friend too.” Steve told you with a kind smile.
“Right. Bucket.” You remembered.
“Bucky.” He corrected.
“Bucky.” You repeated.
The snap
“I have to do it.” You interrupted the argument over who would be the one to snap after being quiet since Clint broke the news about Nat. “It has to be me.”
“Not now, the adults are talking.” Tony tried to dismiss you but you didn’t let him.
“I’m serious. I lost Venom in the last snap. That means I’m the only one hear who isn’t enhanced in some way. That makes me expendable.”
“No. It’s going to be me.” Thor shook his head.
“Wrong, Lebowski. It’s going to be me.” Tony told him.
“It can’t be either of you.” You insisted. “If Thor does it and dies, we lose our best fighter. If Mr. Stark does it and dies, we lose Iron Man and the only person here who can make another gauntlet. It has to be me.”
“No.” Tony said firmly. “I’m not about to let a child kill herself for this.”
“Nat just gave her life for this.” You raised your voice at him. “Are we gonna come this far to only come this far? You know I’m right. You know I’m expendable. It has to be me.”
“We don’t trade lives.” Steve said, looking at you with his Steele blue eyes from across the room.
“We don’t have the luxury of morals right now.” You told him. “Trillions of people died. You can afford to lose one more to bring the rest back.”
“No.” Tony snapped. “It’s out of the-“
“Let her do it.” Thor cut him off.
“What?” Tony looked at him with anger.
“She’s right, Stark.” Thor said solemnly. “It’s a horrible fate but it’s true. When Thanos comes, and he will, we’re gonna need every fighter we have. It has to be her.”
Tony stared at him for a long time before his face softened as he realized he was right. Without looking at you, he handed you the gauntlet. You gingerly took it, your heart racing as everyone took precautions, stepping away from you and putting shields up. You looked to Steve for comfort and he gave you a somber salute.
“You better come back from this.” He told you with a pleading look in his eyes. You smiled softly at him and saluted.
“Captains orders.”
Thanos comes to earth
Right as you got out from under the rubble of the Avengers tower you saw Thanos beating up Steve. His shield was in pieces so you grabbed the nearest item to you and ran to his aid. You stepped between him and Thanos and planted your feet.
“Don’t touch him!” You cried as you swung a baseball bat in front of you.
“Is that a baseball bat? Did you seriously show up to this fight with a baseball bat?” Steve asked from the ground.
“Hello, trying to save your life here.” You shot back at him.
“Sorry. Carry on.” Steve said.
“Give it up.” Thanos sneered. “There’s no use fighting anymore. I’ve done what I had to do and I’ll do it again.”
“No. I will never stop fighting.” You heaved. “You took everything from me. Until there is no air left in my chest, I will never stop fighting.”
One swift kick the head and you were knocked to the ground. You saw stars for a moment rad your head spun. A tall man with long brown hair came into your sight and stood over you.
“Hey, get up.” He held out his hand for you to grab.
“Jesus?!” You gasped, thinking you were dead.
“No.” He sighed as if he got that a lot. “My name is Bucky. You gotta get up.”
“Bonky!” You cheered, grabbing his cold, metal hand and standing up. You immediately heard an explosion to your left and an array of screaming from your right. You and Bucky looked at each other and nodded before running opposite ways towards the sounds.
You ran towards the yelling and looked around for anyone you could help, even though you were still without Venom and pretty much defenseless. Ebony Maw saw you looking vulnerable and floated over to you.
“What’s a pretty thing like you doing in the middle of a battlefield? Don’t you know there’s a war going on?” He said as he approached you.
“Really?” You stopped to ask. “I thought this was a Febreeze commercial.”
“Just for that, I’ve decided to terminate you.” He began to make rocks around you float and threw them at you. You were hit in the arm and began to ran until you were knocked over by a boulder.
“No, wait.” You help up your left arm to protect your face as Ebony piles rocks on you, all with just the flick of his finger. Your right arm was still out of commission after snapping, so you didn’t have much of a defense system. He dropped more rocks onto you until you were gasping for breath and could barely speak.
You could see Cap in the distance, just out of earshot. You opened your mouth to speak, to call out to him, but no words came out. It was like every nightmare you’d had as a kid when you lost your voice and couldn’t cry out for help. Hot tears fell out of the corner of yours eyes in frustration as you tried to scream, yell, talk, anything. Instead of words, blood spilled over your lips, filling your mouth with a metallic taste.
“Help! I need help! Cap!” You tried to scream but it came out as a hushed whisper.
“He’s not coming.” Ebony said as he began to pile rocks closer to your face.
“Cap! Mr. Stark! Please! Can anybody hear me?” You wheezed.
“I’m afraid no one can hear you, my child.” Ebony Maw said as he dropped a rock onto your head, silencing you. “Not anymore.”
He turned around and began to float away when he heard the sound of rocks tumbling and moving. He turned back to where he left you and no longer saw you under the pile. As soon as he turned back around, he was met with Venom towering over him.
“We heard.” Venom snarled before biting Ebonys head clean off.
“Nice work.” Steve’s voice came from behind you and startled you. You turned back into yourself and faced him. “I was just on my way to help you, but it looks like you got it handled.”
“Thanks. I had help, though.” You said and Venom slid into your hand, as if to hold it.
“You find your friend yet?” He asked you.
“Not yet. I met Bucket, by the way.” You said as you brushed some debris off your suit.
“He told me.” Steve smiled. “Go find your guy. I’ll cover you.”
“Captains orders.” You saluted him and turned into Venom before running off.
The reunion
“I got this! I got this! I don’t got this!” Peter realized in fear as space dogs piled onto his faster than he could fight them off. He instinctively threw his hands over his face and curled himself into a ball. Thanks to his high tech iron spider suit, he barely felt the blows from the bad guys. It wasn’t until he felt himself being thrown onto his back that he began to worry. An alien with sword for a hand tilted Peters chin up with the edge of his blade. Peter felt fear rise in his throat, not knowing how to use his suit yet and not being able to put his mask up to protect his neck.
“Help! Someone help!” He shouted, but it fell on deaf ears. No one heard.
“Someone, please! Can anybody hear me?” Peter cried. Like a hand coming down into Peters open grave to pull him out, he heard a voice.
“We got you.”
The alien on top of Peter was knocked off in a blur of black. Peter scrambled to sit up and looked in the direction of his savior. He tried to catch his breath as he watched Venom ripping the alien to shreds like it was made of paper.
“Venom?” Peter panted, making you snap up to look at Peter. You slowly got off the alien, still in Venom form, and began to run towards Peter. You melted back into yourself as you ran, tears streaming down your face as your legs carried you. Imagine My Tears are Becoming the Sea as you run towards each other. You meet Peter in the middle and throw your good arm around him, tangling your fingers in hair at the back of his head as pressing him as close to you as possible. You dry heaved a few minutes as the scent of your best friends shampoo filled your nostrils for the first time in five years. Hot tears of joy poured from your eyes when you felt him rubbing your back for comfort. You pressed a kiss to his temple, before saying screw it and kissing every inch of his face and neck that you could reach as he laughed. You pulled back and kept your left hand on his face as your right arm hung limply at your side. Your thumb stoked his cheek as you took in your best friends face.
“Is this a trick?” You whispered, searching his face for comfort.
“It’s not a trick.” Peter shook his head with a childish smile, loving all the affection he was getting from you.
“What if it is? What if I wake up and this is just a dream?” Your voice broke. “I can’t take it if it’s fake.”
“It’s not a dream. It’s real. I’m real.” Peter assured you as he took your hand and pressed your fingers against his neck. “You can feel my pulse, yeah?”
“Yeah. I can feel it.” You nodded as you felt the rhythm of his heartbeat under your fingertips.
“Then I’m real.” Peter said gently, making your lip tremble and rendering you unable to speak.
“What happened to your arm?” Peter asked when he caught sight of your right arm, still red and sizzling from the snap.
“Oh, um…dragons.” You said the first lie that came to your head. “It was a fire breathing dragon.”
“Wow, really?” Peter looked at you in amazement. “Did it hurt?”
You broke into a smile at seeing your best friend excited again after so many years of not seeing him at all. His eyes lit up just like you remembered.
“No. It didn’t hurt.” You lied through a genuine smile. “I’m all right.”
“I missed you, Y/n.” Peter said suddenly. “It’s only been a few hours for me, but I missed you.”
“I missed you too.” You said through your tears.
“I had a few hours to think when I was in the soul stone and ran out of questions to ask Dr. Strange.” Peter began, looking nervous for the first time. “I think we’ve been wasting a lot of time.”
“What do you mean?” You asked him.
“I love you.” Peter said firmly. “I have for years. For whatever love is at my age, that’s how I feel. I know I’m 18 and you’re 22, but Knives Chau was 17 and Scott Pilgrim was 23 when they dated so I just-“
You cut Peter off by pulling him into a kiss using your one good hand, feeling a sob rise in the back of your throat when he kissed you back. You pulled away and rested your forehead against his, only feeling him in the middle of a battlefield.
“I love you too.”
Funeral
You stood apart from the crowd after Pepper sent Tony’s memorial into the water, watching from a distance while fumbling with the bottom of your dress. You watched Peter talk with the other Avengers, a newfound sadness in his eyes as he once again put the “e” in “dad”. You sighed as you watched him, feeling a guilt you didn’t know to explain. You told Mr. Stark the snap would kill him, and he did it anyway. Feeling uncomfortably hot all the sudden, you attempted to pull your hair into a ponytail. Ever since your arm had to be amputated from snapping, little tasks like doing your hair seemed impossible. Hot tears of frustration filled your eyes as you struggled to get all your hair into the ponytail. Right as you were about to give up, you felt someone’s hands take the hair tie from you and gather your hair into a ponytail. They secured the hair tie around your hair and stood beside you, all without saying a word.
“Thank you.” You said quietly as you touched the ponytail, surprised to find it was well done.
“It’s all right.” Bucky nodded as he stared off at the lake. “I owe you one.”
“Who told you?” You asked him, feeling a sharp pain where your elbow used to be.
“Someone had to snap their fingers and you’re the only missing an arm. I took a wild guess.” Bucky smiled half heartedly. You folded your lips into a line as the pain worsened in your phantom limb.
“Are you gonna tell anyone?” You asked in a hushed voice. You hadn’t told anyone that you were the one who snapped. It seemed almost insulting to speak of it since the very same action had killed Tony. It made you sick to your stomach to know both of you had snapped but you were the one to survive and attend his funeral.
“I take it seriously when people risk their lives for mine. I’ll keep your secret.” Bucky assured you. You stared at him for a moment as tears filled your eyes until you brushed your sleeve up to look at the remainder of you arm. It had to be taken off right below the shoulder, so all you were left with was an immobile nub. You looked back at Bucky and saw him silently staring at your residual limb with a look of understanding.
“Does it always hurt this bad?” You whispered, never having vocalized your pain from losing your arm before. Bucky sighed sympathetically and slowly looked up at you.
“The pain gets easier with time.” He told you. “Mine still hurts when it rains or snows.”
You nodded at his words and looked at your residual limb again, pain evident on your face. Bucky could see you struggling with your new body and remembered how hard it was for him when he first lost his own arm.
“You think it’s ugly.” He spoke, making you look at him. “I thought my stump was ugly too. It’s not, though. Steve told me what happened before Thanos came back. You snapped thinking you were going die. You risked your life for us, and you haven’t even met most of us.”
“Someone had to do it.” You mumbled, not wanting to take the credit.
“But you made sure that someone was you. I think that’s beautiful.” Bucky shrugged, and a small smile appeared on your face. “So don’t look at it like its ugly. It’s not ugly.”
“Thanks, Buggy.” You said softly, looking at your stump in a new light.
“Bucky.” he corrected.
“Thanks Bucky.” You repeated.
“Well, Steve sent me over here to get you, so I can’t leave empty handed. He wants you to meet the rest of the Avengers.”
You looked at the group Peter was in and let out a nervous breath before looking back at Bucky.
“Okay.” You agreed. “Captains Orders.”
