If only pt.2

This is a part 2! You can read part 1 here.

Honestly this is to the person who commented they wanted a part 2, and well I’m a push over lol.

Cw : brief assassinate attempt and murder, brief talks of sex. Yandere Thoma.

MDNI it makes me uncomfortable.🔞Adults only!🔞

The more days that bleed into months, the less Thoma can take, every day is more or less the same.

He makes breakfast for everyone, does his chores, and then comes back midday to you dusting and sweeping, determined to help him. Spending all his time with you until your husband returns, and then you rush over to him ready to lavish him with all the affection you have to offer.

And most nights Thoma listens to your pleasured cries, finding it so cute how you try to muffle them. The only thing that enraged him was it wasn’t him loving on you, it wasn’t him pleasing you, it was always that bastard.

Maybe at the start, he felt bad for the anger to felt towards his friend and boss, but now it’s long gone. Thoma can’t take it anymore.

He wants to hold you, to be the one you rely on, the one you cling to.

He will do whatever it takes to ensure he can get that.

“I’m going to head out soon, my liege, we are out of ingredients for the dinner I wish to make tonight, but I’ll be back soon!” He smiles, knowing exactly what he’s doing when you jump up from your seat.

“Oh! Let me join you, it’s such a nice day after all, and I’d like to look around if that’s okay.” You’re already rushing to the door to get your shoes on.

“I can never say no to you, my liege.”

To you, Thoma was your best friend, someone you could trust and spend time with, why would you question or be suspicious of him? He was also your husband’s closest friend, so why would you even think he’d have other plans?

To Thoma, you are everything, you’re the love of his life, the light of his world, the center of his universe. He needs you, even if you don’t know it yet.

Walking with you he tries to stay as close as possible, just feeling the warmth of your skin just next to his has his heart racing, but he needs to back away if he wants his plan to work.

Just finishing up shopping, he notices you eyeing the path that leads to the ocean. His heart nearly bursts at the idea of you two having a romantic stroll, maybe even a picnic on the shore.

But he bites his tongue and smiles at you.

“Hey, why don’t you head to the beach, I’ll meet you there as I’m almost done anyway.”

You look at him with concern “Oh, are you sure? I don’t want to leave you alone.”

He can feel his face heating up, his heart can only beat so fast.

“I’m sure, don’t worry about it! I’m sure you can find some pretty shells.”

He doesn’t miss how your eyes light up.

“Okay, I’ll meet you there! But be safe.”

“I will, don’t worry.” He watches you take your leave, watching until you disappear out of sight around that corner.

He decides to take his time, chatting with the shopkeeper for a moment longer before buying what he needs. He needs just the right amount of time to not let you get hurt but to also make sure you’re shaken.

And he does.

He counts the seconds in his head as he makes his way towards the shore. His eyes widen to see you being held by a strange, hand over your mouth to silence your screams, and a sword to your throat ready to cut into your skin.

Before your assassin could, however, a blazing polearm lodges itself in the side of their head. You barely manage to lunge away, as your attacker had long since fallen limp from the fatal blow.

Thoma tosses his weapon, uncaring for the lifeless body at the end of his blade. He places his foot on the neck and yanks his polearm from the burnt head.

Thoma whips around to you and rushes to your side, sliding across the sand to place his hands on your face.

“My liege are you okay?”

You don’t answer, burying your face into his chest, gripping his shirt like he’d disappear. It broke Thoma’s heart to hear your broken sobs.

He wraps his arms around you holding you tightly to his chest, he rests his head on top of yours trying to soothe you.

“It’s okay, I’m here. I won’t let anyone hurt you.”

He’s happy you can’t see him.

He’s happy your face is in his chest, so you don’t see the smile he has.

Ah, the money he paid was well spent if it had you holding him like this.

He’ll have to hire another assassin soon if he can hold you like this more.

He hates you two will have to return to the estate soon, where he’s sure your husband will be waiting.

But that can wait a little longer, as one of Thoma’s dreams finally came true.

He pulls you into his lap so he can sit more comfortably, engulfing you in his warmth and security. You only hold onto him tighter, your sobs dying down to soft hiccups.

He rubs your back in soothing circles, trying to calm you.

He hopes you can’t hear his heart beating, he hopes you can’t feel the heat stirring in his loins, he hopes you can’t smell the slight burning of his clothes as his vision is out of control, his body heating up from how happy and flustered he is.

He is your protector.

He is yours.

As you are his.

I know you've done Halo Infinite Sangheili so idk if you know this guy from the first Halo Wars, Ripa 'Moramee. he's been around years longer than the Halo Infinite guys but gets barely any content anywhere, so I'm curious how you'd imagine him falling for a human darling

Sangheili content my beloved... I'd love to! I have not played Halo Wars but I hope my research helps. Tried to stay in canon but was also creative.

Edit: I got carried away, this is long lol 😅 Guess I'm down bad 🤷‍♀️ I'd love feedback as this was REALLY fun to write. I also suggest having some background knowledge about Halo/Halo Wars to understand this more.

Yandere! Ripa 'Moramee with Human! Darling

Pairing: Romantic

Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Violence, Murder, Religious themes, Manipulation, Internal conflict, Obsession, Human/Sangheili, Angst I guess, Violence against darling/wounds (You are enemies... it's only fair), Swearing, Denial, Feelings of betrayal, Kidnapping, Isolation, 'Moramee is losing his mind, 'Moramee is implied to have intimate thoughts, End is implied to also be intimate but nothing happens.

There's so much moral conflict in this pairing.

His whole purpose is to elminate the human race.

That's his whole purpose as Arbiter.

He thinks humans are weak, completely and utterly undisciplined in the ways of a warrior.

As Halo Wars is deep in the past of the Human/Covenant war, even before Halo CE, a pairing between Sangheili and human is forbidden.

Even more so if he's meant to kill them all.

'Moramee is known as ruthless with an insatiable bloodlust.

He's quick to anger and has a temper.

The moment he hesitates in killing you upon your first meeting... rage builds within him and tears him apart from the inside.

He's harmed humans, Unggoy, and Sangheili alike in his rage...

Why does he hesitate on a human!?

The Prophets demand your execution!

He's a savage beast even in Sangheili terms.

He knows nothing but anger and rage.

'Moramee has never had his own rage directed towards himself.

He likes victory.

The Sangheili had tried to hunt you down when he met you.

So when he finally cornered you on Harvest he was prepared to strike.

Why did he hesitate!?

He had one of his plasma blades lifted in the air, ready to strike.

Was he distracted?

Did you distract him?

Either way he hesitated enough to be hit by gunfire from your squad of marines/spartans, the Arbiter was forced to abandon his prey.

'Moramee is thrown into an enraging conflict with himself after this.

He doesn't dare tell The Prophets.

His subordinates notice his growing rage and keep their distance.

He's a yandere that would be driven to pursue his human through the desire to end his internal conflict.

He knows humans are weak and should perish in the wake of the Covenant.

However, the fact he couldn't slaughter you haunts him.

It scares him that you, as a human, make him weak.

He's a disgrace to The Great Journey....

He hates the fact you make him weak.

He doesn't even consider the idea of love... even if that may be what he's feeling yet can't understand it.

'Moramee loathes the idea of loving a human.

His moral and religious conflict make him volatile towards his own crew.

They already tremble before him.

Now when they hear him mutter to himself and roar in rage, they start to dread him pulling out his weapons.

If/When 'Moramee eventually tries to hunt you down again then he tries to do your abduction alone.

He can't have his crew find out about his true intentions with you.

Intentions he dreads but has to accept if he wants to regain his focus.

'Moramee intends to slaughter anyone he feels he needs to in order to solve his issue.

Expect him to send a small group of troops to remove your group.

Despite the order to kill your group and any humans they find aiding them, 'Moramee describes your appearance and gives the order to spare you.

Spare... something that baffles both the Sangheili himself and his troops.

He was not one to spare.

However, in a way you can view his true intentions as not sparing

His troops knew better than to question the Arbiter's judgment.

The order was sent... then executed like your team.

'Moramee awaits the fallout of the skirmish.

By the end of it you're standing in the middle of corpses making up your team.

Your skin sizzles around your wound, a plasma burst being the cause of your agony.

His troop had withdrawn and left you there, a wound to your leg and you gasping for breath in fear... and pain.

So much pain.

Once his troops relay back to the extraction point, 'Moramee stalks closer before wrapping his hand around your throat and decloaking.

Shock and fear paralyze you, the recent trauma of watching your friends die still fresh in your mind.

Along with the blood from their demise still staining your skin.

"You..."

The Sangheili growls, tightening his grip.

He could easily snap your neck.

"A human such as you should be killed for The Great Journey! You've ruined me!"

Upon your struggling 'Moramee and you most likely engage in one-sided combat...

It's enough to make the Arbiter vent his rage.

The entire time he curses you.

Every bruise... broken bone... he deals it to you for a purpose you don't understand.

'Moramee fights with you to try and clear you from his head.

You're fighting him to survive at least a little while longer.

By the time it ends there's barely a scratch on his armor.

Your breathing is painful due to your heavily wounded body.

You can only stare at the Sangheili attacker whose orange eyes burn with confused anger.

You swore you saw the rage flicker into regret for a moment before he snarls again and picks you up.

Your body is so fragile in his arms while he drags you back to the extraction point.

Due to shock trauma you pass out in the Arbiter's arms.

To make a point to his troops (and keep up an act) he holds your limp body by the neck before his troops.

A message that humans will fall by his hands for The Prophets.

When you awake you're laying in some sort of cell on Harvest.

All except you.

Cheers congratulate him... even when it doesn't feel like a victory to him.

Your neck and everything hurts.

However you notice you've been treated... albeit clumsily.

Covenant know nothing about human anatomy.

It confuses you why they bothered to treat you.

You squint through your cell, you had been brought into a captured facility from what you could tell, repurposed to be a jail for the Covenant.

Your blood freezes when the Arbiter who fought you before enters the room.

"You are my secret from all the rest."

He stands in front of you, orange eyes glaring at you in hate.

"You are my only failure as an Arbiter. The human I can't kill. You are something that's tormented my focus for far too long. I never gave a damn about honor. However... you are a stain on my reputation I can't get rid of if the truth comes out."

"What truth, you ugly bastard... why do they care if I'm kept here?"

The Arbiter is silent... as if dreading the reasoning for your capture.

"Really now?"

"... my orders are to kill all humans. To slaughter humanity for the sake of The Prophets... and I can't kill you!"

He's seething, each word strained.

"I don't know why so I intend to keep you in secret. My troops don't dare question me. They fear me... which I will use to my advantage."

"Soft for your enemy now all of a sudden? My team would've laughed at a Sangheili's mercy if they weren't dead."

The Arbiter only glares at you and you see his hands clench.

"Watch your tone...."

"Or you'll kill me?"

With a frustrated scream of rage the Arbiter leaves the room.

Not only could he not kill you...

It's deserved but frustrates him all the same.

You taunt him.

He isn't sure what he was expecting.

You to be scared of him?

You to be over the death of your allies so quickly?

Was he expecting you to show something comforting to him?

He shakes his head and gnashes his mandibles.

He had a lot to learn about you.

He was never this invested in humans.

Yet after mission after mission on Harvest for relics to appease The Prophets, he found himself back in front of that holding cell.

The troops on guard cowered at his gaze.

What he wanted with you was none of their business.

The Arbiter struggled to understand why he kept holding onto this human.

His rage at your existence used to be hot enough to glass a planet on its own.

He continuously stood in front of your cell to chat, asking questions and learning how to keep you alive.

Learning about you in general even if your species was to be destroyed.

Each talk brought it down to a smolder.

You always hated him but your hostility also lessened with time.

Those who caught wind of his talks between you were quickly ended.

An Unggoy or Kig-Yar heard something they shouldn't have?

They're left at the Arbiter's mercy.

A Sangheili? 'Moramee threatens them into submission or sinks his plasma sword deep into their gut.

He wonders if you care he kills for you?

You're special enough to not only gain the Arbiter's mercy, but his casual discussion and attention.

Denial still burns deep inside him.

Despite this... acceptance is a quiet thought in his mind.

Each time he looks at you in the cell... he remembers both failure and discovery.

Was he simply exhausted?

He was starting to care for you like a fellow Sangheili... and he wasn't sure if he still hated it or not.

Perhaps he vented all his anger about you for weeks on end... leaving only forced acceptance.

He would laugh at this... his ego shattered and behavior pitiful.

He couldn't bring himself to do it.

Whenever he looked at you he saw his biggest failure of all...

Him feeling companionship in a weak human heretic.

He could not be feeling adoration for you.

The idea brings a sick taste to his mouth... but a nervous and warm feeling in his chest.

The heresy of humans seemed infectious like the newly discovered Flood that threatened to taint the relics he sought after.

Ever so slightly you consumed his mind.

The Prophets wonder about his sudden distracted mind.

He assures them he is simply annoyed about the UNSC advances.

A lie... somewhat.

All to keep his human secret under lock and key.

It's gotten to a point he only ever talks to you with hesitant respect.

No one has broken his ego and mind like this.

You are certainly an anomaly in his eyes as a human.

Through his holy missions he develops other thoughts involving you.

Ones that he feels are even more of a sign of disloyalty to The Great Journey than simply sparing a human.

He's thought of releasing you.

He's thought of other things that would be considered sin among Covenant and Sangheili alike.

He's thought of how it would feel to take a moment a feel your skin.

His turmoil is at an all time high.

'Moramee coming to the conclusion that he sees you as that kind of a partner makes him sick.

The Arbiter is speechless on the topic.

His peers have claimed to see a broken look in the Sangheili's eyes when he passes by.

When asked he responds with violence.

The entire time he experiences moral turmoil, you have no clue.

You simply answer casual questions and refuse to answer anything that gives valuable information.

You speak to him with no fear or anger anymore.

You've been here too long for that.

As Harvest dies all around you, you're forced to speak casually with a leader of its downfall.

'Moramee hopes you're happy to cause him this pain...

It's only fair due to the pain he caused.

He feels there's only one way to deal with his problems.

'Moramee couldn't focus unless he got it out of his mind and system.

Rage replaced with irritation... 'Moramee makes his way to your cell.

He calls off the guards and taps at the keypad lock.

You're struck with confusion when the Arbiter enters the cell.

"Is my execution finally here?"

His alien eyes glare... but there's a hint of amusement within them.

You struggle when his much larger body shoves you against the wall... the Sangheili craning his neck to growl at you.

"Not in the way you expect, human..."

The Sangheili Arbiter places a hand against the black body suit you wore, stripped of its heavier armor long ago.

"You've infected my mind long enough. I plan to end this and make you my newest victory instead of my oldest failure."

ough I am so sorry if your askbox is closed for the matchup thing, the pinned post says it’s open but the actual like, button, says it’s closed. So if it is just ignore this lmao.

ANYWAY my tavs name is Dmtryo and I’m gonna be submitting this for him :0

He’s a lolth drow, and a pretty ambivalent durge, he’s meant to be a bad person, but not a tried and true villain yk? Still saved the gate and allat but also fucked over isobel and got the slayer form bc he thought the prize might be cool.

Masc pref, poly or mono is fine!

Traits (bc most of them can’t be cleanly sorted into good and bad)

hugely protective of the things and people he likes. (Often to the point of excess.)

Seems like a shit show. Very well put together.

Often comes off as cold, but is far friendlier than people think. (As long as he doesn’t perceive you as a threat)

Will very happily murder anyone who does come across as a threat.

Brings his partner the severed limbs or bones of the creatures he has killed like some kind of fucked up cat

Violence is his go to solution for conflict but he is hesitant to kill innocents (unless he’s getting paid)

On the note of getting paid, there’s very little he won’t do for a pouch of gold and the promise of gore.

A/N: Hey, no prob! @cakeboxie (LOVE your blog handle btw lol) I just waited until the ask box reopened to answer this, lol. So now that the time has come… Let me see… Hmm. Because you specified you wanted a male match, I match your Tav with… Astarion!

🩸Astarion would be the perfect match for your Dmtryo! Astarion is pretty ambivalent himself- he’s certainly not a golden hero, but I couldn't exactly call him a villain either. He does possess a moral compass, but it’s broken, and often centered around what’s best for himself, which is one of the reasons I think he and Dmtryo would be good together.

Astarion is fiercely protective of his things, and the people he finds himself coming to love. Everything he ever had was once taken away from him by Cazador, so anything he does manage to attain, be it physical objects or relationships, he feels he must guard intensely. Once Astarion falls for Dmtryo he is very protective, almost possessive over him. Realistically, Astarion knows that Dmtryo is his, but that doesn’t stop him from being suspicious of every NPC they talk to. I mean, who knows? What if they’d try and steal his love? He has to stay on guard.

Although he’s not a drow himself, Astarion is no stranger to fleeing from the sunlight, and operating in the dark. He’s lived as a vampire spawn for two-hundred years after all. Although he may harbor some residual suspicions about lolth-sworn drow, so long as Dmtryo’s loyalty to Astarion and vice versa comes before their loyalty to any God, Astarion has no qualms about being partners with a lolth-sworn drow.

I also loved how you described Dmytro as a fucked up cat because if any of the companions were to be compared to a cat, it’s Astarion. He’s sneaky, and secretive, and very persnickety when it comes to certain things. He also has a tendency to swat/claw anyone he perceives as dangerous, and being rather vulnerable, that means most people he meets end up on the other side of his blade. But the great thing is that it isn't a problem for Dmytro. Dismembering or murdering people, so long as it’s the right people, is just fine with him!

I can honestly see either Spawn!Astarion or Ascended!Astarion working out with Dmytro long term as well. Spawn!Astarion more so if your Dmytro chooses to try and fight the dark urge inside him, and Ascended!Astarion if Dmytro chooses to embrace his Bhalspawn heritage.

Either way they end up a notorious power couple, one very few in Baldur’s Gate would dare to cross.

Be it by taking on mercenary jobs or ruling as their respective godly selves, I see a very lucrative, very influential couplet taking charge of their future. ;)

I like when it Rains

Rating : Mature

Pairing : Khonshu x Reader , Jake x Reader

Summary : Khonshu is an ass but , he finally meets his match with Stevens neighbor . Y/n also meets her neighbor and his ghost .

Note : Merry Late Christmas !! And Happy New Year !! Sorry for the Hiatus guys with Unrequited Love . Aside from Personal reasons , It will probably be put hiatus for a while . I'll be trying some other stories as well as posting a few drafts for a few fandoms that i love and What i have of The New Chapter (Unrequited Love) as a Half Chapter before the end . This one has been in the drafts for a while , so enjoy some Khonshu and Reader sass lol . And like always let me know if you like it 😊

The pure shock of the moment hits , the anxiety of this very second . The emotions that shoot through your mind like lightning as it raced down the nape of your next to the very tips of your toes . As it spurred a surge of pure dread and resentment through your heart .

Y/n was in that very position as she glared at her exam that read 5% on a quiz , she'd studied night , day and now rain for . Her chest squeezed painfully tight as she fought the slew of tears pricking her eyes . However she'd yet to see the being that was disturbed by such a loud and careless flair of emotion being shared emphatically .

------------------------------------

It jumped in surprise before appearing beside this human , it seemed to be in despair as it sobbed silently. It thought silently to itself as the human panicked so drastically. Before he poked his beak in its direction before noting it tensed briefly before grunting .

Wiping at its tears from its sad little face , reminded him of the mannerisms a mouse would use to groom itself. He moved closer intrigued by the creature , observing the intricate tattoo that spanned from their elbow to their collar and then their shoulder blade under their clothing . The woman however stood up suddenly and trudged toward their mattress. Unlike the worm's intricate sleep ritual , she only stared up at the moon offering a sad smile "I tried , I gave it my all . Why does it feel so…" her voice cracked and tears gathered in their eyes as she rubbed them roughly.

He observed her eyes as they stared silently at the moon "You always see me at my worst moon . Must be bad luck , hmm ? Always heard the moon was bad luck" she said under her breath before he decided to let her have the pleasure of seeing her easily''The moon isn't as bad as you think, mouse !" The human turned to him and peered into his gaze as he squirmed at another being staring and trying to gauge his own reaction "Fuck , i need some sleep ! You're gonna tell me that I'm special and some bullshit and try to get my soul or sumthin' ?" The skeletal bird glared indignantly …. well as much as a skeletal bird could "How dare you-" he started "-Listen , Skeletor . I don't know you and could give a shit . Go back to wherever you spawned from " she sighed tiredly before turning over and promptly passing out .

Note : Should have chapter 1 up later or tomorrow.

#moon knight x reader #jake lockley x reader #marc spector x reader #steven grant x reader #my masterlist #khonshu x reader #khonshu #thank you

karu & olivine (or garu if you cant think of anything for karu). also... morvay & olivine. and maybe (even tho they never interacted), Rin & olivine? and just food for thoughts, what about if olivine ever met huey?

Oh boy, a lotta characters! Gonna try to keep each section shorter.

Karu & Olivine

Olivine has a parental-ish sort of demeanor towards the wolves; in Forest Carnival, he says that he can't help but want to look after them. At the same time, he doesn't infantilize them - he acknowledges that Garu and Karu are very capable and can take care of themselves (also in Forest Carnival).

A quote:

Olivine (Hmm, if I remember correctly, Garu and Karu spent a long time living in the wilderness of the Dead Zone.) (As such, I'd guess... they're far more adept at outdoor activities than myself.) Olivine Sorry for fretting so much, Garu. I can't help feeling the urge to watch over you and Karu. Garu Ah? No need to watch over us. Plus, we really wanna help everyone out!

At the same time... the way Olivine interacts with Karu specifically does make me think of a preschool teacher trying to convince a toddler why they should play nice lol. It's because Olivine is very milfy big brotherly and Karu is just a real brat.

Ship-wise, I think Olivine is possibly the only person in the clan who would be happy to bottom to Karu, but I also think it's infinitely funnier if Karu is just... a really bad top. Olivine has to speedrun figuring out how to fake an orgasm. Also if Karu started calling Olivine Human Slave No. 2 I think Olivine would just roll with it the same way you nod and agree when a kid tells you they're a magical alien princess.

Garu & Olivine

More or less the same first paragraph as Karu & Olivine. Garu's much less bratty and snippy than Karu, so there's a lot less of the "humoring a cranky toddler" vibe. I think he'd respond well to Olivine lightly mother henning him, even though he's fully capable of taking care of himself.

Ship-wise, they're just too "and so they were both subs". Mutually disinterested, but a hypothetical fanartist/ficwriter could Manufacture Circumstances in which something might happen. (I say, as I continue to make agonizingly slow progress on an OliGaru fic for the Garu & Karu Fanweek.)

Morvay & Olivine

They're canonically besties who go shopping together!! They mean so much to me you don't understand. They're so opposed on the surface but so similar deep down. A demon and a priest... A man who has never been accepted by society and doesn't care to change himself to become more palatable, and a man who is perfect in the eyes of society and is learning to be true to himself even if he ceases to be perfect... Two men who are just incredibly horny and both love sucking cock.

I don't think we'll see much of it in canon because Morvay is banned from the regular event rotation, but listen, you could take all the potential they have and make an incredible yaoi manga out of it. Criminally underrated ship. My kingdom for a Halloween event with Morvay in an angel costume and Olivine in a demon costume.

Rin & Olivine

It's hard to speculate on a character we know fuckall about, and I honestly don't really give a damn about Rin. I know that a lot of people really want him to be playable but like,, I just Don't Care about him. I think unless he gets a redemption arc and/or personality overhaul he just can't fit into the clan, story-wise. There's no way Rin as-is is going to play nice at Kleinmas.

If Rin conjured a fake Eiden to target Olivine, the same way he did to Dante/Edmond/Blade in chapter 10, I imagine that the fake Eiden would insinuate that Olivine has betrayed the God of Klein and failed in his duties as a priest by giving in to his desires.

Huey & Olivine

Another character we don't know much about! All we really know is that Huey was a real asshole, and that it's implied that some (a lot?) of how Kuya behaves was also how Huey behaved.

I think it depends on where in the timeline he meets Huey and what about him Huey criticizes. Earlier on, Olivine's more unsure of himself and would be more sensitive to being insulted for his desires, both sexual and not. Later on, when he's more confident, he'd be able to shrug it off and maybe even stand up to Huey. No clue how Huey would react to being told no, but I doubt it'd be good.

the new characters from SAFWY may seem to have silly powers but Narita took care to make them sensible within the bleach verse.

Azashiro is EXTREMELY weak to absorption type abilities, so any quincy and Yumichika would mess him up badly. He also recognizes he would lose against any of the senior captains (Shunsui, Ukitake, Unohana), and Yamamoto goes without saying.

Cien is the strongest espada but not so much that he doesnt recognize that Yammy, Starrk and Barragan have a chance to kill him.

The power scalling gets bad when talking about stablished characters. Narita is a HUGE Zaraki fanboy.

In this novel Zaraki reached the same level of power as the monstrous form Ichigo took against Ulquiorra. And its also stated he could disipate Baraggan´s respira with the preassure of the swings of his blade. That cool strategy and poetic end to the Baraggan fight? Nah son just call Zaraki, its that easy.

Maybe in Naritas mind Zaraki was already the 2nd strongest shinigami after Yama, but since TYBW is a thing the senior captains were stronger than him at this point in time. So Monster Ichigo was kinda mid in terms of power. And that feels like it cheapens the impact of Ichigo BECOMING A MONSTER, he wasnt so monstrous after all. Also Segunta Etapa Ulquiorra was weaker than Baraggan.

Yeah my problem isn't that they don't make sense in Bleach's universe, they fully make sense in the universe. They're just kinda bad lol, Azashiro might have a weakness, but he's also established by oneshotting a character who himself was built up in the lamest possible way: by telling us how cool he is. And then Azashiro walks into a Captains' meeting and walks out alive. Like, it's not flouting the lore, but it does make Yamamoto et al. look super lame for not being able to kill him there.

Similarly, the idea that Szayelaporro can have a digital double made of himself that somehow becomes more powerful than the original...come on. Original recipe Szayelaporro, with his neverending fight and underexplained ability to just turn off his enemies' powers, was bad enough...now you're telling me that a cheap copy is somehow stronger?

So the characters fit in the universe...they're just lame and uninteresting and don't actually have any themes or development, so why would I care about them? It's why I had no problem with the Zaraki stuff. That actually dovetails with what Kubo reveals about him later on during TYBW, and honestly I was sort of hoping he'd be even more powerful and oneshot these annoying OCs. Because Zaraki, you see, is a character I like who has a character arc that I am following, and when I pick up a Bleach story I would much rather read about him or Ikkaku or Yumichika or Uryu or even Don Kanonji than I would the characters Narita introduces here.

Kagurabachi Chapter 3: Witness

A good few of my followers/mutual said they were interested in me doing metas on more series outside of jujutsu kaisen. So here it goes!

This meta is going to be about… You guessed it… Kagurabachi lol! This is a new manga in weekly shōnen jump that has gotten some (weird) attention from the animanga fanbase. So bare with me as I dissect this chapter and follow me for more (if you don't already)

P.S—If there is a series you want me to write about, let me know in my asks or comments below!

Meet Hinao

This chapter is a pretty straightforward one, and that's pretty much been the theme of this manga so far. It starts off with an interesting infomercial like moment where we are introduced to the character Hinao. Hinao is an informant on the Yakuza and Sorcerers, while also being a “handler” of sorts. She has access to both sorcerers and yakuza, acting has the connector between the two. I like the addition of a character like her, but I do hope there is more distinction given about her safety being the one who connects two unpredictable parties.

We also get a loose number of how many sorcerers are around, and in Tokyo alone there are over 1000. That leaves a lot of room for different character types, motivations, and powers. I hope that we don't get a stereotypical sorcerer of the week situation every fight. There is a lot of potential to expand on the world building, or more specifically the city building of Tokyo, Japan. Later down the line, I could see the series expand farther, but I think baby steps are best for now.

There is a flashback showing how Hinao and Mr. Shiba started working together to find information on Rokuhira (the MCs dad). Nothing special really straight forward as well, but I like that Hinao mentions she had no idea Shiba was connected to Rokuhira. That information is nice because it confirms how secretive Shiba is, making me more interested in his overall persona.

The Little Girl Char

Ok, first, her name being Char is so cool. I'm a gundam stan, so I feel like this is a homage to the red comet, but I also could be in my own head canon. Either way, WE LOVE CHAR!

Any who, the chapter isn't complicated from here, but I have some moments I really enjoyed.

For example, the conversation between Chihiro and Char felt like a big brother/little sister connection. Chihiro wanted to take her out to get food just because she hadn't eaten, but he didn't believe she actually saw and enchanted blade. You can't blame him, Char is a smart girl and seemed to be acting as if she had no information to give. I think this is her way of protecting herself from everyone. She went into Hinao's place because it was somewhere to hire bodyguards, but she can't just trust every person who asks her about the enchanted sword.

After a short time, Char mentions the sword forming a cloud, which indicates to Chihiro that she isn't lying. My favorite part about this scene, is that if you are paying attention, you see a sorcerer walk into the restaurant while they are talking. He sits right behind Chihiro, and listens in to their conversation. This is when I see Chihiro has a lot of learning to do when it comes to his surroundings. He saw the sorcerer being antagonized by the shop owner but missed that he was a threat to them. This guy perfectly catches our MC off guard, explodes a doll to cause disarray, and grabs Char.

Fortunately, the sorcerer intended on killing Chihiro with that blast but failed. This is where the chapter ends, with him expressing his disappointment in Chihiro's survival, while Chihiro apologizes to Char for not believing her. I find Char's response so cute, but I also am very intrigued with who Char is.

Why is she being chased? How does she know the bad guys? Why did the sorcerer not just kill her but capture her? I think this is a good plot point that could truly elevate the series, even though it's only 3 chapters in.

Potential…

I see a lot of potential for Kagurabachi. The paneling is nice, the character interactions are good, but I need more substance out of the world building. I hope the mangaka doesn't take too long in establishing some sort of concrete enemy, even if there is a plot twist that changes things later on.

I also want more characterization, but I'm still determining if this is a narrative based story or a character based one. Furthermore, I hope that this starts to become clearer down the line and not too late!

I’ve jammed together a couple of those get to know you things:

last five google searches / Records / books / WIP.

Google search enjoy my terrible spelling / grammar/ typing for the lols exactly as I wrote them

Are glaciers freshwater

How many kits foxhave

Cal cornflakkes keloggs

epl games—-

Sheffield blades squad

That wasn’t as bad as I thought!

I recall this being favourite books?

Choo Woo - Lloyd James look this book was devastating. I read it once and I can’t ever read it again. I can’t even be sure I can recommend it.

Krakatoa - the day the world exploded Simon Winchester

After the quake - Haruki Murakami

English Passengers- Matthew Kneale

Island of the lost - Joan Druett

Last full albums, I’ve been working though the history of music. Man do I not give a shit about The Beatles. Anyway left the album with my favourite song.

This is my Frank Lampard AU song

WIP titles and description

The ocean on top of the ocean (the world ends. It’s not all bad. This has a hopeful happy ending, the middle bits I don’t want to trick you in to reading but they all happen off screen)

The Parade. (Ghosts haunt John Stones. They aren’t real. Well they are real. They aren’t ghosts. He doesn’t deserve it. (He does sort of deserve it.).)

Flyboys (I have yet to decide on a proper name. Harry Kane used to be an accountant, and a pilot and a (redacted).

Spain 3 (also still settling on a name) Frank Lampard / John Terry (if John was that way inclined. The shadows of hard men hang over Frank.)

Getting there. The third part, so Jordan / John. (What turns me on is you being turned on, also condoms are terrible and you should meet this guy…)

headcanons? info? about my 2 yautja ocs

Alright, I know I’m super super new to this community, but I still am a whore for making ocs so here I am lol. Sharing info about my guy and gal! I’ll tackle I’stui first then head over to Exile (name still in the works) Istui - Is surprisingly short for a female yautja, standing at only around 6′3

-Grew up in a cave dwelling clan, who would leave the caverns at day to hunt, and eat their kill with cave mushrooms added at night

-Due to her origins, she has a skin tone that can be more effective in the dark, allowing her to stay hidden while she can see almost perfectly in near pitch blackness

-Has her own ship. It’s a medium sized housing cruiser, about the size of a railjack in warframe. Has her bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, living area, and a dual library/trophy room. She uses her library mostly for keeping cultural writings from different human countries, as well as to organize her thoughts and research

-Doesn’t have a castor or bracer blades, her only weapons being her combistick, claws, and sharp ass teeth

-She actually enjoys eating cooked meats, aside from raw, and will often eat vegetables and fruits as well. Although, she has a particular hatred for citruses and strawberries

-Doesn’t have any actual friends. Yautja or not. Since she gets caught up in her research, often spying on people for weeks at a time, she hasn’t made the time to socialize or talk to anyone, but will sometimes considers the humans she watches ‘unrequited friendships’

-Due to this loneliness, she can get *very* attached. If she meets a human and decides she likes them, they’re not getting a moment of time away from her. She’ll do her best to appeal to others, just for the tiniest morsel of a chance for a friendship

Exile - Exile was raised in a mesa dwelling clan, making his skin a hue of dark oranges and reds. He is also fairly tall due to this, standing at nearly 8 feet tall

-He became a bad blood many many years ago, several generations by human standards. It’s been so long, that nobody really remembers him or his crime anymore, aside from the rare historian.

-He became a bad blood by killing an Elder in broad daylight, and when the Elder was not prepared for a fight. He had grown upset at some of the newest rules and legislation the Elder had put in place, spurring him on to attack and kill them to take things back to the way he wanted

-He quickly ran, of course. Taking a small cruiser, he flew to random planets, hopping between each one before finally running out of fuel

-With no fuel, and low battery on his armor and castor, he knew he wouldn’t have much of a chance of getting off the final planet. So, he improvised. Making his bracer blades into dual daggers, he started to live off the land and make it his

-Exile does everything he does for a reason. Everything is deliberate, and when it isn’t, you won’t know. If he spares someone, it’s cause he’ll use them later just to kill them or throw them to the wilds once he’s done. He’s angry, cruel, and a tough ass shell to crack.

--------------------------------------------

So yeah! There they are! A crash course on my two Yautja, I’stui and Exile. I’m hoping to start a series with Exile as well, but I wanna get a few more parts of I’stui’s thing out. Plus! I wanna hear what people wanna see! So, ask for scenarios and I’ll be more than happy to oblige!

totk replay - part 2! i played a lot today and it really made me dive into the game as a bit of a roleplay experience lol. this is a wordy one with lots of pics, so everything is under the cut ✨

it took 14 in-game days before i was satisfied with my exploration of the great sky islands. i got 10 koroks and only 3 bubbul boyes so i know i’ll have to come back, but i have a plan for that already!

it’s so hard to take only a few pictures lol. imo link is quite expressive in totk, especially compared to botw! i hope this means he’s had some time to come into himself over the last few years. anyways this moment, where fi chose to speak, really got me in the feelings. it reminds me of botw, of when the blade lit up before meeting ganondorf, of the sacred flames and the journey in skyward sword…….

i love the moment that we as players get to see, where zelda takes the sword in hand in between these shots, but that’s not what link experiences. he looks very lonely after the master sword disappears.

took a fun dive on down and ended up in an unintended part of the kingdom!! it’s gonna take a long time to get to lookout landing on foot. after a little exploration (one failed shrine and two deaths via fall damage) i got to thinking that maybe i should speed things up a little!!

here’s the horse i ended up catching after most of another in-game day of terrible chase. he kept rearing on the other two horses in his little herd and pushing them away the moment i got close, and was also the first to come into my space to fuck me up. you’d think he’d be skittish with the rest of them, but he ran towards me multiple times and kicked me twice. it was a bad time. you can really see the spite in him in that first pic. the second shot shows what he does the moment i try to go anywhere with him - that is, one press of a button has him going at a full gallop immediately and i can’t get him to stop. he’s 0-100 ONLY. his name is bastard. i feed him apples and in exchange i keep my fingers. it’s a tenuous relationship (at 100 bonding but that hasn’t stopped him from being SPICY - i’m truly obsessed with the personality and alertness they gave horses in totk bc it’s not this crazy in botw), but mounted archery is very easy on his back.

(tbh i wanted the spicy brown one with the cream mane and socks in his herd but he kept getting in the way. just another opportunity for him to earn his name)

i took bastard to get registered at a stable and did a couple quick quests as the locals needed. by the time i made it to hyrule field, 20 in-game days had passed.

there were so many resources to gather and monster camps to clear. i also snagged enough shrines for a little spirit orb exchange. first blood moon was absolutely terrifying lol. there was a lovely rainbow the next day though :)

monsters mean monster parts :) finally i can make elixirs, which means i now have on-the-spot stamina recovery, strength and defense, and haste! need to keep an eye out for hearty ingredients for healing - right now only two of my stamina elixirs give me a small amount of hearts back. some battles have been tricky!!

made it to lookout landing at last, at 24 in-game days!! i had enough shrines to clear a little more gloom poisoning and restore some vitality (went with stamina). every time you get a light of blessing or speak to the goddess statue, a little more gloom is expelled. not to be a whump writer or anything but like…… 👀 sounds painful.

on to new things!! the added challenge of not having a paraglider is absolutely wild. some things you can’t do though - i was pretty salty about that shrine. gonna go talk to purah again and see what’s up!

5x6 the final frontier

I remember this episode, I am a castle fan from firefly & I loved this episode & the audio commentary & everything about it

We all thought that the guy who got shot was shot with a real thing

derrick storm is a graphic novel, I forgot!

supernovacon? Shiny dsjflksdjfjskh shiny pint sized princess leiea <3

apparently the costume design used some of the old stuff, including stuff from the zombie episodes

14 episodes too many? Oh I was going to watch battlestar galactica that joss whedon show?

JE: Give me Blade Runner - a bleak, dystopian future with sexy replicants. Right? *he & castle bump fists* JE: How about you, Beckett? What do you—?... *stops at her annoyed expression*

RC: Perlmutter, good to see you. SP: Ah, if only the feeling were mutual. a tiny hole? like a bullet hole? SP: No clue

Not all nebula 9 fans will be on that site also ryan pretty af as usual so no need for a pic ig she is so obviously a fan, she could just say "oh plenty of fandoms have websites, I'm sure there is one for neb9"

lol her face when he walks in KR: Oh, I tried to talk to him, but he said he needed a minute to “Muse upon the fragile nature of human life.”

& may fortune guide her journey? really? also that booty tho I love how castle has the chance to meet someone even more egotistical than him

Never meet your heroes

Aww webisodes, that's cute af! I'm a big fan of fanfiction you're allowed to like a show even if it is bad who is this man!? also she went by k-becks? your WHAT NOW? Henry Barnett: You should've seen her as Lieutenant Chloe. Oh, wait. You can! fracking, I heard that mostly in battlestar galactica

RC: Look at my life. (whisper) My dreams come true.

KB: Perlmutter. SP: Detective Beckett. RC: Perlmutter. SP: And non-detective Castle.

that is a hell of a burn SP: Well, as much as it pains me, Mr. Castle is… [marginally or largely] correct.

KB: How is it possible that she's killed by a laser? RC: Easy. Someone shot her with a laser gun. Or maybe she was already dead when she was killed by the laser gun, or she was drugged, I'm sure you would have to sit there for at least a halfminute to burn through that much flesh

KB: Nice one coming from the guy with a life-size Boba Fett in his bathroom. a WHAT

"blasphemous" lmao

KB: posessing a... RC: Laser blaster! KB: ....... laser blaster

this scene with ryan showing the pic on his phone was filmed at 4am bc they screwed up the schedule JE: First of all, ma'am, I must ask you, uh…how are you keeping those leaves on there like that? NEBULA NINE EVE: Why don't you pull on one and find out? JE: *staring at her (eyes)*

Maybe you can't translate well but you can say yes or no... right?

*writes her number on her boob leaf* *esposito looks more uncomfortable than pleased tbh* *she took his pen* (probably glued on)

"obvi" teenager english lol

Castle shut up lol

also I'm still stuck on the fact that they just pulled castle away from his signing

ew weird bug thingy what

Becks u can say "according to my intel" u literally said it launched your career tho?

Nikki heat type pose

Drunk? in the middle of the day? two lieutenant chloes lmao I don't like espt's shirt.

oh my god!!! ALEXIS??? Dressed like what castle? she is not dressed at all apparently the cast was all weirded out bc they kind of movie-raised her since she was a teen you know what good for her she is allowed to do what she wants ig...

Yo cops they paid good money for this!

RC: Then you wouldn't mind relinquishing your weapon. good word gabriel winters is so annoying *shoots it* *it works, & works way too well & tbh they should have been wearing eye protection* mUZZLE CONTROL "Zap" said the lady

As you wish <3 NO SHE IS NOT A FULL GROWN WOMAN, SHE IS A VERY YOUNG WOMAN, plus, you two wanted it in the privacy of your own home!

"what kind of idiot does that" *looks at him* how bad can it be? "burning" desire XP

ryan pretty he so pretty always love his outfits, i love how he has a vest but no tie

KR: This is like the Halloween from hell. JE: Oh, yeah, this is probably too lowbrow for you, huh? You're probably into that boring-ass intellectual kind of sci-fi, like Gattaca ((loved that one)) or 2001. The monolith-- what the hell was that? KR: Don't ask me. No, no, swords and sorcery, that's more my thing, like, uh, Lord of the Rings. ((Ooh ryan is a fantasy guy)) [Esposito looks Ryan over. not gay at all] JE: Yeah, I could probably see you as an elf. Or a hobbit. ((bro you are not much taller!)) KR: HOLD ON THAT WAS THE LONE RANGER Esposito is a fan? he could use the excuse that he did some research for the case ryan doesn't make fun of YOU!

*authorized personnel only door in portal* "that means me!" oH NO ARE THOSE LASERS EVIL?

love donnely. apparently his shirt caused a ton of fighting on set & yet it is capable of great damage? Why did you make it harmful then? You could have made it so it feels warm when you get shot, maybe even hot, but this thing is deadly!

What kind of protection? Probably goggles Hm, license plates Castle, bringing the convo back to needing protection

*cut to castle still being concerned & feeling his face* *beckett talking abt the symbolism* ofc he'd be concerned abt his hair

alexis XD.

S name! esposito seems like he may have a nice outfit but I can't tell

*The elevator opens in front of them with a ding and Castle is there, looking anxious* RC: Hey. Tell me, you guys, do you think my hair is thinning?

*espt looking at his head with a grimace* *castle flinches* he's just playing with him Also why did castle not go wit hthem> isn't he supposed to be shadowin gbeckett?

surprised they are not doing a b plot parallel here

I really want to go to a masquerade ball doing a movie or reboot WITH YOU or what?

sort of? Ah masks

lots of money holy crap idrk if I like ryan's outfit today. It is nice & all but... yk I don't much like those stripes & smth is awkward abt it

yk what valid but her voice is so small

lol castle pretending to be capt max ew, still a crime scene it WAS a stupid show but it was still enjoyable! alexis leaving home! Oh feminism. Good for her.

What was that buzz sound tho?

I like beckett's jacket I also like how max has never NOT worn his outfit

"I need you to resist a little less" "overacting much?"

Ah the mark of cain

They could have just got like,, a handheld uv flishlight

Why didn't he want to show his left hand? was he afraid he had smth else on his hand? phone numbers? bodily fluids?

Except wouldn't he have gotten The Talk about protection "I'm captain max!" He's so proud of that hole in the wall lol there just so happens to be a UV thing there? & then there were detectives behind the door? dang she is insane WOAH HE JUST DID THAT is ther a functional stun setting tho? the two egomaniacs I love it

*tries telekenesis* bribery lol Ooh a nebula nine marathon aw come on as long as it is light hearted youo should totally make fun

*castle trying to close the elevator doors faster*

Fun music, sexy legs, then THAT face & he falls off the bed KB, with a bloody creaver mouth & mask: You want to make out, Castle? Rawr.

So wait if there was a ship is it real?

I was a firefly fan so I mostly only got the firefly references but there were a lot of other scifi members on the crew or smth so they made a bunch of references to their stuff too.

I highly suggest watching the audio commentary. Super fun.

Helloooooo

Thanks for answering the writer’s questions! You know I love interacting with your blog and I am also happy to see other people interacting with it!

As I warned before I am gonna read Mono no aware, and comment!!!

Form the start it gives me a blade runner vibe and I love it. There’s something about this heavily artificial futuristic vibe that makes me tingle

Wow Denarii has me simping already and it’s just from his first impression

She can read him so well, he does the ear scratching when when embarrassed too, lol

RATS IN THE CEILING????? Ew

Hyungwon looking for connection is a recurrent topic, interesting!!!

As always I love the way you describe everything, we get and idea of living in that future feels, lonely, artificial, no wonder Hyungwon is looking for something more

Heck I feel bad that she is pretending, it is her job and all the things she has are because she is good at what she does.

Uh the kiss, the way she talks to him, god I would be in love as well, hot damn!!

If this ends sad I am going to fight you

THE SMUT THO, so beautiful and not once you let us forget that he is paying for this that she must be pretending, god its hot and heartbreaking at the same time

Dude, your way with words blows my tits clean off, EVERY TIME

“I won’t be back,” he continued. The truth was leaden in his mouth, and he was glad he couldn’t see her face. “That was the last of my credits.”

“I know,” she whispered. “I’m sorry.”

“Don’t be. You’re worth it.”

DAMN, GIRL

ALSO, how sad is her case? Is she a prisoner? Who is “they”?

NO! NO

I am upset,

But also how GOOD was that?

First I was sad thinking about lonely Hyungwon and now I am sad thinking about poor prisoner Denarii, alone in her gilded cage, forced to please men for a living... and now deprived from Hyungwon, can't imagine a worse fate.

the only good thing about the open ending is that I can picture them meeting in the future, older, but they manage to find each other and live happily until the end of their days.

aaaand scene!!!

till the next chapter!!

Reading this review has been an utter trip for me.

I am so so so happy you finally got to one of my favorite pieces. As always, your insight is wonderful and refreshing. <3

Denarii is my baby girl, and my urge to protect her is as strong as Hyungwon's. I feel like maybe the real me bleeds through into his character in this because I'm def in love with her, too, lol.

I wanted her to really read as intuitive and empathic because I feel like anyone in this kind of role would have to be in order to be as successful and powerful as she is. I'm glad that comes through to you!

I did not actually connect the threads of HW and connection as a recurring topic until you said that, but I think that's my general read on him as a person. Obviously, everyone is looking to connect deeply with someone, but maybe it's because we're the same personality type IRL that I understand how important that is for an INFP.

Still, yes, the setting is CRUCIAL to this theme because even now, and maybe I'm waxing a bit extistenial, I think with the advent of internet and the ease of connectivity, in many ways, people can feel more isolated than ever. Imagine the future when that consumes 99% of all our interactions. What's real and what's facade? Okay, I'll stop. Lemme get back to your ask.

"If this ends sad I am going to fight you"

... >.>

The way I lived in that smut scene though... ngl, for a hot second, I had this horrible delulu moment where I felt like I was *in* the scene, and yeah, I have well-established mental problems.

I know you're not one for angst, but I can't help how much I like it (within reason, of course... suffering is good for the artist's soul lol), so I'm glad you could find some enjoyment in it even if it's not your preference. And, yeah, I love an open ending. Let's my brain wander from one fic to another...

*whispers* What's that? Wasuremono??????? <.<

;)

ilu

#new bestie!#neo seoul series #i'm too soff for hyungwon #someone help #lost in the feels #it's not good for my mental health #asks #gee thanks

Vengeance Meets Angel of Vengeance

Pairing: Bruce Wayne (Robert Pattinson version) x Male Reader

A/N: I'm not sure why I wrote this. I was just excited about watching the newest Batman movie. It contains no spoilers if you haven't seen it yet. It does have bad language from thugs and attended rape. Enjoy this horrible mess. Probably our of character Batman maybe lol.

Y/N looked down at the bright twinkling lights of Gotham City. Police helicopters patrolled the skies in search of people breaking the law. It was a lot different from Metropolis, that’s for sure. Metropolis was warm and bright. So full of good citizens, who wouldn’t dare litter or steal. Gotham City, however, was a different story altogether. The city was, for lack of a better word… Broken. That was the best way to describe Gotham. Broken people. Broken justice system. Even broken heroes. That’s why Y/N was here. He was here to fix what’s been broken.

Y/N wore a long dark leather double tailed trench coat with red insides, black leather pants, high laced boots with spikes on the sides. He also wore a crimson t-shirt, two black fingerless leather climbing gloves and a silver spiked bracelet on his left arm. He also wore a mask that reaches from his forehead to his nose as it covered the top of his hair and surrounded his eyelids in black makeup.

Y/N scaled the rooftops of the city that had gargoyles perched on almost every building. With no particular direction in mind, because he didn’t know the place quite well just yet as he only just got here; Y/N was on the lookout for anyone needing his help, or doing anything they weren’t supposed to do. Nightly paroles weren’t the same without Clark. His cousin was always there for him, but Y/N felt he could make a bigger difference here in Gotham City than he could in Metropolis.

Unfortunately, Y/N got his wish of someone in distress as a bunch of thugs chased a poor woman into an alley with the intent of stealing her money, and more than likely tried to do bad things to her body.

“Give us the money, bitch,” one thug grunted out as the woman tried desperately to keep them from stealing her purse. “No, please! Not my purse! Help! Somebody please help me!”

“Shut her up, damn!”

One of the thugs slapped the woman hard across the face as she fell on the hard pavement. Some of the thugs began digging through the woman’s purse as one of them kneeled down beside the woman and caressed her cheek as she pulled back in fear and disgust.

“Don’t be like that, sweetheart. We’ll take good care of you,” he promised as he turned back to his buddies. “Right boys?” The others agreed, as they all had perverted thoughts in their heads. The woman’s eyes widened in fear as they drew closer to her. Y/N jumped off the rooftop he was on and landed behind the thugs. They didn’t see him behind them.

“That’s no way to treat a woman,” Y/N said as the thugs turned to him. They began to laugh at Y/N. “Who the fuck is this clown?”

“Yeah, kid, who are you supposed to be? Batboy Jr?”

“Isn’t it past your bedtime?”

Y/N sighed. “Trust me, boys. Just give the nice lady back her money and purse and turn yourselves in.”

One of the thugs pulled out a switchblade. “I’ve got a better idea, freak. How bout you mind your own damn business and move along before we kick your costume-wearing ass?”

Y/N smirked. “No thanks. I’m good, sweetheart.”

The thug with the switchblade frowned. “Okay, asshole, you asked for this.” He charged towards Y/N and swiped at him with his knife as Y/N easily dodged each attack as the thug got even angrier. He lunged forward and plunged the knife into Y/N’s heart. That should have ripped through his skin and killed him, but the blade shattered harmlessly against his skin and the broken remains of the knife were on the asphalt. The thug looked at Y/N in shock.

Y/N frowned. “Wait. That was supposed to kill me, right?”

The thug didn’t have time to answer as Y/N grabbed him and used his super strength to throw him into a nearby open dumpster. The lids shut upon impact. The thugs looked at Y/N in shock, but quickly got over it as they glared at the young hero. “Let’s get this freak!” They all had weapons in their hands. From baseball bats, chains, knives, to brass knuckles. They surrounded Y/N in a circle, whispering dirty insults.

“Gonna fuck you up good, kid.”

“Your mommy can’t save you now.”

“Gonna, teach this little prick a lesson.”

They all closed in and began to beat Y/N with their weapons as the young hero stands there and takes it. They continue for a moment before getting tired and noticing Y/N wasn’t at all phased by their strikes. “What the hell are you?”

Y/N smirked, cracking his knuckles. “They call me the Angel of Vengeance.”

One by one, Y/N slammed his fists into the bad guys as they all sailed across the alley, landing in different spots. They groaned as Y/N made an anonymous tip to the police to have them come and get these guys. He then set his sights on the frightened woman on the ground. She gasped as Y/N walked up to her. “Please. Please don’t hurt me,” she begs Y/N.

Y/N tried to give her a friendly ‘I’m not going to hurt you or rob you’ kind of smile. “I promise I won’t hurt you, Miss. I think this belongs to you,” Y/N handed her back her purse and money. She looked at her returned belongings, then at Y/N shocked, as he offered her and hand up. She hesitatingly took it as Y/N helped her to her feet.

“Who are you? Where did you come from?” The woman asked.

Y/N smiled. “Those are mighty fine good questions, but for now just know that I’ll be here for you and everyone else in Gotham City who needs my help.” The woman smiled as Y/N super-leaped from the ground back up to the build he was perched on when this whole thing started.

An hour after he saved the woman; Y/N came face to face with the protector of Gotham. The Dark Knight. The Caped Crusader. The World’s Greatest Detective. You name it. It was him. It was only a matter of time before their paths crossed. Nothing happened in this city without him knowing about it, eventually. Was Y/N screwed? Probably, but he just had to meet The Bat. Y/N smirked as he heard the vigilante before his feet landed quietly behind him. “Who the hell are you, and what are you doing in my city?” The raspy and rough voice asked. Y/N turned around and saw the man. The myth. The legend. The Batman. He was dressed up in an all dark costume similar to a bat, with gadgets on his wrists and a utility belt around his waist. His dark cape swished back and forth gently in the night air.

“Well, I was hoping Gotham’s most elusive bachelor would be kind enough to show a tourist a night on the town, so to speak,” Y/N said as he turned to the Batman. Y/N should have been afraid. He should have turned on his heel and head back to Metropolis and stopped for nothing as he left this godforsaken city, but he wasn’t. Quite the contrary, actually. Batman intrigued him. Y/N had brushed up on the stories about the dark prince of Gotham before he moved here. Clark had warned him to be careful as the Batman wasn’t someone to trifle with. Batman was nothing like Superman and that’s what drew Y/N to him.

Batman said nothing as he drew his batarang from the symbol on his chest. He pointed the sharp end at the young hero as he spoke. “This will be your only warning, kid. Stay out of Gotham and go home. You’re not wanted here.” He placed the weapon back on his chest and turned on his heel as what he just said was law in Gotham and should be followed immediately.

Y/N probably should have listened to him. Any sane person would have. To challenge Batman, whose mission statement was to strike fear in the hearts of his enemies, was probably not the best idea in the world, but Y/N was stubborn when he wanted to be, and right now was no exception. No one told him what to do.

“Oh, and what are you going to do to me if I don’t?” Y/N asked.

Batman turned to him and narrowed his eyes dangerously. “I’ll make you beg to l go home when I get through with you.”

“Why Mr. Batman, such filthy language. At least take me to dinner first,” Y/N joked. Batman wasn’t amused in the slightest. He just glared at Y/N. The hero held up his hands in surrender. “Sorry to disappoint you Mr. Batman, but I live here in Gotham now so I can’t just pack up and—”

Batman threw the batarang at Y/N as time slowed down around them. Y/N used his super-speed to see that the weapon wasn’t meant to hit him, only to scare him as it turned slightly to the left. Y/N grabbed the slow-moving object as time restarted normally again.

Batman looked surprised at how Y/N had his weapon in his hands, but that surprised look was quickly replaced by a scowl. Y/N held up the bat shaped weapon as he innocently asked. “Hey, can I keep this so I can decorate my apartment with it?”

“You think this is some kind of game, kid?” Batman growled. “This is serious.”

“I know that.”

“Do you? Because I’ll I see is an immature kid who’s too ignorant about how the real world really works to understand how serious living in Gotham City is.”

“Yes, I do. I’ve seen how it is here. I’ve been here less than 24 hours and I can see how broken this place really is,” Y/N said.q

“Great. You’ve been here almost a day and suddenly you know everything about Gotham,” Batman said.

“I know that it’s broken, and it needs to be fixed.”

“Let me guess. You’re the only one who can fix this city? Are all people from Metropolis that simple-minded?”

“Are all people from Gotham City such assholes?” Y/N argued. He had to calm down. This wasn’t what he wanted. “Look Batman, I’m not saying it will be easy, but I have to at least try. The people of Gotham can be better. I have to believe that,” Y/N told him sincerely.

Batman scoffed.

“Listen up, handsome. Like it or not, I'm staying in Gotham City until I know it's not broken anymore. Now we can either work together to make it a better place for the people, or you keep doing things your way.”

“Thanks for the offer, kid, but I'm good as is,” Batman said, blushing faintly at being called ‘handsome.’ The Dark Knight held out his hand. “Give me back batarang now.”

“Fine, take it,” Y/N said, tossing the weapon back to Batman.

The Caped Crusader turned to leave once again. He glanced back over his shoulders at Y/N. “A word of advice, kid. Watch your back. Gotham’s a dangerous playground.”

“You know, if I didn't know any better, I'd say you're actually worried about me,” Y/N smirked.

Batman scoffed again. “Hardly. I want to make sure they have a casket ready for your body at the morgue.”

“That's very dark, but I like the way flirt, handsome,” Y/N teased.

Batman blushed once again underneath his cowl. He’s had men and women call him handsome before, but when this young man called him it. It gave him a nervous feeling in his stomach. He didn't like it. He shot his grappling hook at a nearby building and jumped off the building as he gracefully sailed across the night and landed safely on the next building over. Y/N watched him fly, grappled away as he sighed, happily.

Looks like Gotham City was about to get more interesting.

Hey Carrie! You talked a little the other day about writers' tendency to start a fic too early in the story, and how you see a lot of first scenes that could have been scrapped to improve the story. My question is if you have some tips to recognize while writing that first scene that you are starting too early in the story?

Hello friend!

That's a really good question, and I'll see if I can give an answer that makes sense. I am not a professional, and I'm not educated or trained in this stuff, it's just something that I recognize from years and years and years of voracious reading. And as with all writing advice, I encourage you to take what I'm going to say with a grain of salt and remember that no writing rule is a hard rule, only a guideline.

Also, my advice is going to be pertaining fanfiction, and specifically to AUs. Obviously a published book has an editor with a razor blade going through a manuscript for you, and the problems that bother me in fanfiction crop up in AUs more than Canonverse.

Oh, and every instance of "you" is general, not specific 😜

So I think the main problem that I see is that people are starting with an Info Dump. An Info Dump is not always a bad thing, sometimes it's completely necessary, but it is NOT where you want to start your story. If it absolutely has to be done, it's better to be somewhere in the middle or near the end. When it's something that your characters need to know.

That's an important bit: Do your characters need to know this?

And related to that: Does your audience need to know this for the story to make sense?

And very important follow up: If the answers to the above questions are yes, does the character/audience need to know this RIGHT NOW?

There's a lot of information about your story that YOU need to know. Heck, my notes files are full of sooooooo much stuff that I know about the characters and plot that never reaches the final product.

So when you're reading your first chapter (I say reading, not writing, because sometimes info dumping for your own benefit is good, and then you fix it before you share the story lol), ask yourself those two questions.

So for example:

In an AU where Dean is a tattoo artist, and it's his POV. The story starts with Dean driving to work, and when he gets there he's going to find out that the empty shop next door has been purchased and is going to be a yoga studio. He meets Castiel out front, up on a ladder trying to hang a hand painted sign, and some teens go running buy and knock into the ladder and Dean has to catch Castiel from falling. (Anyone who wants to adopt this idea is welcome to it btw, I would love to read this lol)

The mistake I often see in a first chapter like this is that as Dean is walking to work, there's a whole Info Dump about why he's a tattoo artist instead of a hunter. He'll be ambling along, thinking about his nice little business, and there's info about how his mom died in a fire, and his dad was a jerk, and Dean didn't go to college because he saved his money for Sammy's college fund, and Dean's only passion was art, and Bobby Singer introduced him to a tattoo shop owner who took Dean under his wing, etc.

Question 1, does your character need to know this?: Why is Dean reflecting on his past? Does Castiel need to know this information in order to build a romance with Dean?

Question 2, does your audience need to know this?: Why does this information matter? If Dean's only reflecting on this because you want to make sure your audience knows where the timeline changed and this became an AU, then you're starting too early in your story. Dean doesn't need to know this, and honestly in a lot of cases the reader doesn't need to know this. This is information that should have been left in your notes file.

Question 3, does the character/audience need to know this NOW?: If this information is pertinent to the plot, like maybe there's some trauma there that Castiel might need to know about to develop their relationship, then you don't want to put it HERE, you want to put it in a conversation with Castiel LATER.

If I was writing this AU, I would just start with Dean sipping his coffee, he's kinda tired because reasons, he looks up to see an unusual commotion, and has to drop his coffee and sprint forward to catch Cas. If he's reflecting on anything in this scene, it's going to be whatever made him tired, or how good/bad the coffee is this morning. Since Cas is a new business owner, they can talk about the origins of Dean's business on their first date, because it'll be a relevant response to Castiel talking about the origins of his yoga studio.

And just in general, if Dean's origin story includes a lot of canon elements, like mom dying in a fire, dad being a deadbeat, Sammy being the adorable overachieving Stanford student.... try to hide that info for as long as you can so that the audience is actually curious about it by the time the info might pop up. It's the wild divergences that are more interesting earlier on.

Okay, and then I want to talk about my giant pet peeve for a starting chapter. It's a specific kind of info dump, that often includes the stuff from above, but then goes a step further.

My nemesis, The Daily Grind.

I haven't asked the authors, so I could be wrong about this, but I feel like most of the time when this type of chapter is included in a story it is because the author wants to show the reader that the character's life is boring and meaningless before the plot's inciting incident. I can absolutely see why that might be considered an important detail about the character, but keep in mind if it's boring and meaningless to the character, it's boring and meaningless to your audience.

You know how I said earlier that writing tips should never be hard and fast rules? Well this is in regards to that Show Don't Tell rule, and it's an example of TOO MUCH showing lol

It is possible to do a daily grind in an interesting way, but only if you include a Shake Up right away. And you have to look at the 3 questions a little bit differently.

So for example:

Castiel POV, and he works in an office. His daily routine is to always get up at the same time every day, he goes for his run, he grooms himself, he has his breakfast, he goes to work and talks to Kelly about how Jack's doing in kindergarten for a few minutes before going into his office. Adler comes in to be a prick, Castiel hates him for it, and then he does his reports, has lunch hiding in a corner of the lunch room so that his co-workers will leave him alone, he does more reporting, leaves an hour after his shift technically ends, goes home to a lonely apartment that maybe includes a pet who is the only being that shows him affection, has an unsatisfying dinner of leftover takeout while watching a mindless reality tv show, then he goes to bed.

Ugh.

BORING.

Which, yeah I get it, the point is that his life is boring. But now the story is too, and I've clicked the back button before I can see how exciting it's capable of getting.

Question 1, does your character need to know this?: No. He knows. Poor thing definitely already knows.

Question 2, does your audience need to know this?: Yes, but...

Question 3, does the character/audience need to know this NOW?: Yes, but new question for ya:

Optional Question 4, why does this need to be separate from your plot's inciting incident? The answer to this 4th question is usually that it doesn't.

Chapter 2 of this type of beginning usually shows the shake up of Castiel's day. My advice is to start with the shakeup, and sprinkle in the details of what you would have put into chapter 1 to show the contrast. It's far more interesting to learn how boring Castiel's day is by starting with the shake up.

So, same scenario:

Castiel's alarm doesn't go off for some reason, OH NO HIS ROUTINE IS SHAKEN UP! You're explaining his routine while also stressing him the fuck out because he has to rush, or skip something that he normally needs to do. Action! Interesting! He gets to work late, and has to miss his conversation with Kelly about Jack because she's telling him that Adler's already in his office being a prick because Castiel isn't there waiting for him like he always is. Oh shit, he's pissing off his asshole boss! Conflict! He's so flustered by the shakeups that he misses something on his report, and he gets a call from that new marketing guy Dean Winchester who asks if they can have a meeting about it when Castiel normally takes his lunch. BAM! MEET CUTE OPPORTUNITY! While Castiel is getting all flustered by how pretty Dean is while they talk about TPS reports, he can reflect on how this is both better and worse than hiding from his co-workers in the corner of the lunch room. The rest of the day after that meeting he's thinking about how weird this day is, he still goes home an hour late, he talks to his pet about his weird day when he gets home, and maybe he still eats leftover takeout, but he's not paying attention to the reality tv show because holy shit he wants to count Dean's freckles.

In this example, you're Telling the audience about Castiel's normal routine instead of Showing them. But since it's during a plot heavy chapter, it works!

Lemme see if I can TL:DR this...

As you're reading, ask yourself who needs to know this information, why do they need to know this information, and why is it important for this information to be included early instead of later?

If the answer to any of those questions boils down to "this is backstory" instead of "this kicks off the plot", then you've started too early.

I hope this helps? I'm always nervous about giving writing advice because so much of the time I have no idea what I'm doing, and I'm just feeling around in the dark. And I definitely do not ever want to hurt an author's feelings, because this hobby is so fucking hard, and we're all fragile. Even authors who welcome con-crit with open arms will have a weak point that they're unaware of that might get poked wrong and cause a crack, ya know?

I hope anyone who gets this far who might see their own works reflected in my examples understands that I have a lot of respect for their ability to put their work out into the world, and I want them to keep doing it. We're here to have fun, okay? Okay. I love y'all 💜

#ltleramblings #writer's angst #also i think some of these problems can be solved with a prologue #but that's something i'm literally exploring in my current WIP #so I have no idea if I'm doing it right #and i might be breaking all of my own rules with it lol
