Wouldn't it be funny if, with your idea of Rumble and Savage being spirit monkeys that just sorta latched onto Macaque, if they were among the group of clones who keep pinning Wukong down... they just really, really want a hug and keep purring and cuddling up to him when they do so. They're the only ones that get left unharmed by Wukong, too, because something in his monkey brain registers them as cubs, and it confuses the hell out of him because those are clones??? And the reason they're so cuddly with Wukong is because they hear Macaque eating lyracle about him all the time, bemoaning how his mate turned against him and "betrayed" him to become the pet of the gods and protect some human monk for months, thinking they were just clones. Hearing how their new monkey papa is heartbroken about losing his mate and then getting to see their estranged "mama" and es obviously having a baby, which means they're gonna be big siblings, they couldn't help trying to get close
Prev SlowBoiled idea.
Honestly the Eclipse Twins being baby Spiritual Monkeys who stowed-away on Macaque's revival could be an Au in of itself. (maybe "Penumbra au" since it refers to the outer plane of shadows of the moon?).
In this S3 concept art, it looked like the creators had toyed with the idea of the two being actual characters in the chase for the Samadhi Fire; but they ultimately had Macaque focus on MK, Mei, and Sandy for the split-up. In the lego set they also have a "shadow" version of the delivery tuktuk, so it would have been cute if they had tried inconveniencing MK by stealing his main means of transportation.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
By the time of S2; Macaque is starting to notice that these two "clones" are a little too independent... and they revert to much smaller cub-sized shadows when they think he can't see them. He still often vents to him about his and Wukong's history, and how his dearest Hero, his Peach, his Sun, had left him for the Journey. The twin shadows chirp with little confused smiles at these stories - did Papa's mate leave with another troop and that's why he's so sad/mad all the time?
Rumble & Savage are ultimately orphans, clinging to their new caretaker and his extended "troop". Even if said troop includes people who their new "Papa/Bama" has beef with.
A whole S1/2 episode could be done where the Noodle Gang keep getting harassed by what they think is Macaque or his clones (MK warned them), only to notice that;
It's only ever the two "clones".
They only ever seem to cause harmless mischief, or chaos out of curiosity. i.e; stealing food from Pigsy, knocking over books in the library when Tang is reading, trying to take the tuk-tuk and Mei's bike for a joyride, leaving colourful paw-prints all over Sandy's ship when they got into his art supplies etc...
MK's gold-vision tells him that these "clones" true forms are in-fact; baby monkey-sized. MK is startled and very confused.
(*MK finally manages to stop the "shadow clones" after they stole the tuktuk with all the deliveries inside*) MK, eyes glowing with Gold-Vision: "Finally! You have been driving me nuts all week, Macaque! Now-!" Rumble & Savage, true forms: (*confused chirping and fluttering noises?*) MK: "Uhhhh... you guys are a little... smaller than normal." Rumble & Savage: (*look between themselves and MK, chattering excitedly*) Rumble & Savage, in monkey-language: "Other stone monkey!" "Smells like Wukong-mama!" "Mama's cub!" "BIG BROTHER!" (*MK is tackled by the two super-fluffy and purring baby monkeys*) MK, still a little shocked: "Aww..." (*sees all the destroyed/eaten deliveries*) "I'm still in so much trouble..." Rumble & Savage: (*burp!*)
Pigsy was equally confused by MK coming back with two clingy shadow hanging on his back. The two quickly return home, chattering to Papa about how they've broken the ice with "Mama's troop!" - Macaque is even more confused than the heroes are.
In the SlowBoiled au it's certainly a situation of the twins sensing that Wukong is a pregnant mother of their kind, and wanting him to adopt them, but aren't sure how to go about it. Papa seems to want them to tackle their new Mama? Is that right? He does seem to be really sad to not be hugging him...
At some point they do get frustrated with their clone facade, and just run up to Wukong in their true baby-monkey forms demanding uppies and kisses. Most likely during S3 when the situation with LBD gets dire. Wukong at first thinks it's a weird joke Macaque is pulling, but his own Gold-vision tells him the truth...
Wukong, holding both twins: "Macaque! Why didn't you tell me you had cubs!?" Macaque: "I didn't know either! They just sort of... appeared!" Rumble & Savage: (*happily purring and nuzzling Wukong since they've managed to get "Mama and Papa" talking again*) :3
The Shadowpeach situation now has two super-powered baby monkeys trying their best to pull their new caretakers together, Parent Trap-style.

Tumblr media Tumblr media
Propaganda why Marinette Dupain-Cheng is insufferable:
She easily gets away with bad, stalkerish behavior, it always feels like she can ‘do no wrong’ unless the show wants us to pity her, and the show writers want us to think she is a quirky and socially awkward girl when throughout the series we see her be friends with basically everyone in Paris with many connections to high up places.
I get she has social anxiety but the way she goes about stalking Adrien is kind of the worst like she even has creep shots of him hanging in her room? That’s weird. I think Adrien’s going through enough without having to deal with the main character being his stalker lol. I know they’re (spoilers) at this point but in the beginning it was so sus
In the newest season, Marinette hides the fact that Hawkmoth was Adrien’s dad. This leads to the bastard getting a statue and honored as a hero after his death. Adrien now never gets to know the fact that his abusive and neglectful father was the one trying to kill him and is instead proud of him.
Her crush on Adrien is like a black hole for her character. Things she’s done because of it:
1) stolen property
2) ruined dates
3) humiliated other characters
4) has a chart of Adrien’s daily schedule for the next year in her room (this is stalking)
5) broke into his room and sniffed his pillow (also a crime)
6) sniffed, took the hair from, and tried to kiss what she thought was a wax statue of Adrien
7) convinced her parents to let her go to China. Why? Not because she wants to connect with her mother’s heritage, not even because she’s a budding fashion designer and Shanghai is considered a fashion hotspot. It’s because Adrien was there.
shes annoyinng anf shes a stalker
I love fanon miraculous but by god she has got to stop obsessively stalking her crush and generally making a ton of other terrible decisions. I’d submit Adrien too but he’s more of a deuteragonist
I started the show, watched one episode, and never tried again. I simply do not vibe with her.
More propaganda
Anti propaganda
Propaganda why Katarina Claes is insufferable:
Irredeemably stupid. The story frames it as her 17 year old mind waking up in Katarina’s 8 year old body. Yet she is still even more of an idiot than all of the actual 8 year olds in the story and shows no growth over the next ten years. At one point, all the other main characters defend her from accusations of bullying by saying she’s too stupid to have been able to do it.
Also, the Verge of Destruction side story was much better than the original series because her fears of banishment and running out of time made sense.
1) She’s an idiot, and not even in a funny way. One of my pet peeves in isekai is when the MC refuses to recognize when the story has changed. Her whole thing is that she keeps prepping for when she gets banished. But, she’s not going to be banished because she took care of all the problems when she was like 6. Bad relationship with fiancé? Fixed. Bad relationship with family? Fixed. Bullying? Prevented.
2) The harem is ridiculous. The people in love with her: her fiancé, her fiancé’s brother, her fiancé’s brother’s fiancée, her childhood friend, her adoptive brother, 2 dark mages, and etc. (There may be more, but I stopped reading after one of the dark mages kidnapped her then got away scotch free).
3) If you want a good dumbass MC trapped as the villainess of a dating game read “Observation Record of a Self-proclaimed Villainess’ Fiancé”.
Guy who kidnapped her pins her down and puts his face against her neck. She then feels a pinch and notices a bruise/hickey on her neck in the mirror. Her response was “Oh! A bug bit me and he was just trying to get it off :D how nice of him.” I hate the oblivious to sexual harassment trope.

THE BLOOD DROPPING FROM THE DARK ROSE IS ALWAYS THE SWEETEST.
Tumblr media
Around 5K words, this is a big one for me. We get to meet new characters and Copia being caring and very cute. The plot is plotting. (I will probably revise the grammar and stuff the following days, so sorry for any kind of mistake.TW: Abuse of power by a member of the Catholic church, mentions of abuse in general, a bit angsty, mentions of blood. ⸸read on ao3⸸ ⸸masterlist⸸ Enjoy!
III - Dream On
The beeping from your alarm woke you up on Tuesday. You had not slept that much. Flashes of memories old forgotten were coming back to haunt you. You had dreamed about your parents, your room and of the pastor. It had been a while, but you could still remember their faces very clearly. It were as if they had been burnt into your retinas, always watching you when your eyes were closed. The thought made you feel sick to your stomach.
The dream itself was always the same, so much so that it was even a memory. Hands forcing you to your bed, the face of the pastor on top of you, smiling, mocking you. His name was Father Lawrence Tebbit. You could never forget him. The same prayers and passages from the Bible were spoken to you over and over again. Tears always pricking in your eyes and your pleads forever falling into deaf ears. Your parents were pinning your hands, not letting you escape the bed. Father Lawrence then climbs on top of your tiny chest, his legs restricting you. He shows you his cross and you try to look away, but his hand forcefully pulls you back to look at it. He shouts at you as your feel you breath quickening, the oxygen is leaving your lungs and you pass out to wake up back to reality.
Deciding to not entertain your painful memories anymore, you pushed the alarm back five minutes to think about which were your expectations for the day. Your number one priority was to finish the sketches from the Cardinal’s order and to get his approval. Yesterday, you got the main structures planned, now it was time to think about the distribution of colors and lengths of the flowers. After the confirmation from the cardinal, you needed to let Matty know about your final decision and at which time you would go for the flowers. Then you had other things. Again a couple of bouquets and start thinking about one of the wedding’s arrangements.
However, the most pressing matter in your head was to answer to Cardinal Copia’s pigeon picture. You had been thinking about it a lot before falling asleep, finally deciding on something cute, not corny and also a bit daring on your part.
Claire🌹: “Those babies are adorable! Thank you so much for showing them to me, I appreciate it. I hope to get regular updates of them. I want you to be my personal National Geographic cameraman, Cardinal.”
Without giving it much thought, you sent the message. You received a response almost instantly.
CC: “It will be my life’s duty to protect those pigeons. I swear to you they will be safe with me. I just hope my rats don’t get jealous.” There is a pause and then you realize what he is implying.
Claire🌹: “Wait… You own rats?”
CC: “Yes, they are very cute and also amazing pets.” You cannot believe what you are reading, you have loved rats ever since you were a kid. Ratatouille was only a boost for your love of the creatures.
Claire🌹: “YOU ACTUALLY DO!? I love rats, they are the cuttest! I have never met someone who owns a pet rat.”
CC: “Rats, plural actually. I have three. It is a pleasant surprise to find another rat enjoyer, there are not many like us around. However, due to your love for pigeons I assumed that you had to like rats as well.”
Claire🌹: “A gold star for you for your deduction skills⭐. You are pretty observant!”
CC: “Thank you, Claire. It is a nice feeling to feel appreciated. It does not happen to me much around the Ministry.” You heart sinks a bit hearing that. You have nothing but a good opinion of the Cardinal. Even if you didn’t know him that well, you saw how caring and responsible he was. There was not a lot of people like him.
Claire🌹: “I’m sorry to hear that. I am sure there are plenty of people who appreciate your work, even if they don’t say anything.” It takes a while for the Cardinal to text you back. You were hopping for a longer message, some more information about him. So, when your screen lit up you felt a bit sad.
CC: “I hope so, truly.” You needed to move the conversation to the professional side, even if you did not want to.
Claire🌹: “Now that I have you here, I also wanted to tell you that today you will be receiving the sketches I was telling you about. There are a couple more I want to finish so you have plenty to choose from.”
CC: “Oh, that is perfect then. Maybe it will take me a bit to decide, I am sure all of the drawings will be great.”
Claire🌹: “Let’s hope you do so before tomorrow. It is when I will be picking the flowers up to start the arrangement. It is going to be a lot of them, are you sure none of your band mates has allergies?” It was a very normal question to ask, but you felt a bit silly after sending it. Maybe it was because those masked people, who you supposed were the Cardinal’s band mates, were not… normal.
CC: “No need to worry about them, they are not allergic to flowers.” You were sure that he wanted to say something different, but that would be oversharing, and you were a stranger.
CC: “Also, if you need help picking up the flowers I offer myself to be your assistant for the morning.” Your eyes widened. You were sure that he was a pretty busy man. Why would he help you with something so trivial?
Claire🌹: “I am sure you are quite busy preparing everything. I wouldn’t want to cause any troubles.” You did not want to admit it, but now that he had offered to accompany you, you wanted nothing else that yo spend the following morning with him. Who knows? Maybe you got to know him a little bit more.
CC: “Nothing of the sort, cara. I will tell my brother Terzo to cover for me tomorrow morning. He is pretty familiar with all these preparations, but I will owe him a favor… that could go in any direction.” Now you felt a bit bad.
Claire🌹: “You seem conflicted. I can do it myself, Cardinal. Maybe I was just being a bit dramatic… that’s all”
CC: “If you said it, then it is true. Don’t try to diminish the weight of the task because you think it might be a bother to someone. At least with me you don’t have to do that, Claire. It is okie-dokie to ask for help.” You let out a breath you did not know you were holding, it was so easy to talk to him. And yet, he was able to read you like an open book, and that scared you… a lot.
Claire🌹: “I really appreciate that. I always get scared to be a burden, so I do everything myself. It is a bit tiring sometimes.” You didn’t know were the sudden burst of honesty had come from. Copia was really good at breaking your walls.
CC: “I understand. I am the same. If you want something done the correct way, better to do everything yourself, sì?” He truly understood you.
Claire🌹: “Exactly! Well, when should I pick you up tomorrow then?”
CC: “mmm… what about 9:30? Is it a good time for you?”
Claire🌹: “It is perfect. Do you want me to pick you up at the abbey or somewhere else?”
CC: “The abbey is fine. Do you know where it is?”
Claire🌹: “Not really… I don’t pay that close attention to religious buildings.”
CC: “Then you are missing out on a beautiful piece of architecture, Claire! Let me send you the address and I will wait for you at the entrance.”
Claire🌹: “Perfect! And do not turn off your phone! You still need to choose a sketch!”
CC: “It will be my number 1 priority, do not worry.”
Claire🌹: “I thought your number 1 priority were the pigeons…”
CC: “Mi dispiace! You are right. Then my number 2 priority, but it is very close to be number 1 eh! Do not think ill of me.” It felt like he was taking it so seriously, you laughed to yourself.
Claire🌹: “I was joking, Cardinal. I know that you are a professional. Those pigeons are lucky to have you as their guardian.”
CC: “Worry not! I will be the pigeon protector! It will be my most important title!” At this point, your stomach was hurting of how hard you were laughing.
Claire🌹: “You are so funny, Cardinal. I needed the laugh, thank you.” Again, there was a pause. You wish you were talking to him in person, get all his reactions, catch every glimpse of his eyes.
CC: “No worries, I am glad I could be of assistance. I have to go now, I have a meeting to attend. I will be waiting for you tomorrow then, and also for the drawings. Have a nice morning, Claire.”
Claire🌹: “You too Cardinal!”
The conversation was over and with it came a feeling of emptiness. It was so nice to talk to someone who was willing to listen to you. Maybe the Cardinal felt the same, but you could not be sure.
It was still early enough for you to get a coffee near your shop, so you decided to do exactly that. You dressed yourself in a comfortable way, today you did not need to meet a high member of the church. The choice was clear, your mom jeans, a big shirt with a skeleton dancing on one side, your favorite hoodie and your white boot Converse.
The morning was sunny, a bit windy so the hoodie was a good choice to make. The streets were awfully quiet as you drove to the coffee shop, which conveniently was on the same street as Dewdrop.
The coffee shop was actually a dream come true, at least one of the many dreams you had when you wanted to start a business. If you had not been a florist, the next idea in line was to be a barista. It was white on the outside, with a sunset orange sign that said “The Rest and Be Thankful Coffee Shop”. There was also a big wooden sign on the sign, those that you only see on old taverns. It was a carving of a mug with some steam coming out of it and some embellishments, probably custom made, but you were too afraid to ask.
The owner of the coffee shop, Sam, was a friendly woman to everybody except for you. She did not give you the gentle smile that gave everyone else, or made small talk with you. The coffee was always excellent, but you felt like you could be great friends if you got to talk. She had short dark blonde hair, piercing green eyes and a smile that could start a war. Once you entered, the sweet aroma of toasted beans and baked goods hit you and transported you to your personal heaven. The store was mostly empty but for two costumers sat on tables at the back. Savoring the ambiance of the establishment, you decided to get the usual, a latte and a croissant, which was made also at the coffee shop. Sam took your order, but while she was talking she spoke to one of her assistants.
“Are you sure that it was not fixed?”
“Pretty sure, boss.”
“What an arse! I have been complaining to him about it for months!” You just realized that Sam was Scottish, what a surprise.
“I will try to go to the committee later and see if they tell me anything.”
“Aye, please. If I trip again on it I am going to burn the committee building to the ground. Then they will listen for sure.” You remembered a very big hole close to the coffee shop, that was the thing they were talking about, for certain. Maybe this was your chance to befriend Sam.
“Sorry to interrupt. I could not help but overhear the conversation. Are you talking about the big hole just outside?”
“Aye. The chief of the committee won’t do shit. I have been complaining for months, but I cannot do anything unless they approve the permit.”
“I can help if you want…” Sam and her assistant both looked at you with a puzzled look.
“Pardon?”
“I can help. I helped the chief with a flower arrangement for his daughter’s wedding. He owes me one.” Sam’s eyes widened as you spoke.
“You are the florist! I knew your face was familiar, but I couldn’t remember from where for the life of me.”
“That’s me! You can call me Claire.”
“Certainly a pleasure, Claire. I am Sam.” She extended her hand over the register and you shook it with a smile.
“The pleasure is all mine. As I said, if you ask for it, I will go to the committee building and ask for the favor.”
“You would actually do it? Why? It would certainly help you to be owed a favor by Mr. Shack in the future.”
“I find a lot of peace in this coffee shop, it would be a shame for you to go to jail for burning the committee building.”
“Oh, you are kind and funny. I like you. Just so you know, if I ever committed arson… they would never catch me.” That little remark made you laugh. A genuine laugh. You have probably laughed more these last couple of days than you have in years. The realization makes your heart hurt a bit.
“Oh, I am sure. You seem like the type of person that thinks every step of the way.”
“True, as do you.”
“Is it that obvious?”
“Claire, I have seen you sitting here writing lists of pros and cons…” You felt your ears turn red with embarrassment. “It is not a bad thing , Claire. You just like to see both sides before you make an important decision.”
“Guilty. I promise I will talk with Mr. Shack later and try to solve your little hole problem.”
“No problem. Even if you don’t get him to pass the permit…” There was a heavy pause. “Thank you for trying at least. You are a good person.” As she spoke, Sam handed you your order.
“What do I owe you?”
“Nothing. It is on the house. And I will need your number so you can update me on the mission.” Sam gave you a genuine smile and you gave him one back, you had actually made a new friend.
“The mission, huh? Let’s call it operation Cobra.” The name did not convince you, but all the good names would make you look bad.
“Maybe too cliche fro my taste.” You handed her your phone with the new contact screen. “Operation Butt Crack?” She was on your wavelength, amazing.
“Fun and a bit childish, I love it.” She handed your phone back. She had saved her contact as “Sam🍑⚡”. You called her so she would have your number as well. She then gave you a thumbs up.
The store was a starting to pack and a line was starting to form behind you so you said your goodbyes to Sam and her assistant and promised to update her later in the day on Operation Butt Crack.
You sat at your usual spot, close to the window so you could see all the trees outside. Fall was starting to show itself thought the last days of summer and you were glad. Now it was the perfect time to finish the sketch for the Cardinal. You thought of the best position for the flowers, where to put the longer ones and how the colors would coordinate when put together. An hour passed and you felt like you got it. It was done. You were beaming with happiness and without thinking too much took a picture and sent it to the Cardinal. You hopped for a quick response, but then you looked to the last message. He had a reunion, he would not see your message for now. The time to open store for the day had come, so waved Sam and mouthed that you were on your way. She smiled and waved energetically.
The stroll to your store was short but sweet. Some of the tree leaves were falling at your feet and as you step on them you heard a very satisfying crunch. There it stood Drewdrop, always charming and beautiful. It was a slow day overall, few clients that actually bought anything expensive. The majority of the day was spent finishing arrangements. It was quite late, time to close, and you still had not received a message from the Cardinal. You were worried a bit, but you would not tell him that. It did not matter for now as you had a mission, it was time to begging Operation Butt Crack.
————
The building that contained the subject of Operation Butt Crack should be inside working, or at least seeming like he was doing so. You told the woman at the entrance who you were and that you wanted to see Mr. Shack and she responded that he was very busy with a meeting, but that maybe he could talk to you afterwards. However, she did not know when he was going to finish. You told her it was fine and went to Mr. Shack’s office.
It was quiet, everybody had packed up to go home and you were aware of every sound that was happening around you. You head the buzzing of the fridge, the cicadas outside lingering to the last remaining rays of the summer sun, the leak of a heater… and a conversation. You did not want to eavesdrop, but it was so quiet. What were you going to do? Put your hands on your ears like a child who did not want to hear her parents arguing? You knew better.
“The reputation of this good Christian city is going down the drain.”
“It is good that I am here then.”
“I asked specifically for you because of your reputation, Father Tebbit.” Your heart skipped a beat. You could not believe what you were hearing, or rather who. “I want them out. Use whatever means necessary. That Satanic Church mush go away. You understand?” You had to go, you had to tell the Cardinal, but you were frozen.
“I do. I want the same Mr. Shack. Devotees of the Dark Lord should not roam free or be without divine punishment. I am here to provide that.” There was a lot of poison to his voice, which made you even more scared.
Tears were falling down your cheeks, your brain spiraling out of your head and your heart beating so fast you thought it was going to come out. The adrenaline must have hit at the right moment because you started to run. You were so focused about getting out that you had not noticed the office door opening. Father Tebbit only saw your outline going down the stairs, but he could swear that you looked familiar.
Once you were out the building, but you needed to get far away, you could not risk it. Tebbit had come to the town to get rid of the Satanic Church Cardinal Copia was a part of. You knew what he was capable of. He had done it to you, day after day for a year. He was an expert cleanser. Such were his methods that even the Catholic Church had reservations about him. Father Tebbit leaned more towards the cultist side of the church, much more aggressive and “holy”, as he liked to tell you. You were sure he remembered you. You were the reason why he had to use a cane.
One time that you were trying to escape your parents’ house, Father Tebbit had come without invitation. He had said that it was just to check on you. You did not want to risk it, so you hid behind the door and with all the strength your little arms could harvest, you put a heavy box of books on top of it. You were hoping for it to fall of Tebbit’s head, it instead landing on his left foot. He had developed a chronic limp ever since and had to use a cane. The design was pretty telling and you remind it well. He used to hit you with it. He said it was because it helped to get the demons out, you knew it was because of revenge. The shaft of the cane was entirely black, the handle was a ball of amber, and inside there was a wasp. Tebbit had explained that it was a symbol, a symbol of his power to contain evil, to make it stop. You thought it was bullshit.
Once you were far away the committee building you took out your phone. Hands still shaky, you tried to message the Cardinal. He had not answered to your sketch yet. You had no other choice but to call. You needed to keep it together, to sound serious, it was a very serious matter after all. Each tone was a nail on the coffin, a clear sentence of you inability to sound collected. It took eight long tones until the Cardinal picked the phone.
“Buon pomeriggio (good afternoon) Claire. I am sorry I could not answer sooner, but I am currently in an important meeting. Is everything okie dokie?”
At this point you were fully crying again, so you put your hand on the speaker, hopping the Cardinal did not hear you sobbing.
“Everything is okie dokie, Cardinal.” You said with a shaky voice. “I was just worried because you had not seen my sketch yet…” Not a full lie, but a lie nonetheless. You were bothering him. It was an stupid idea to call him, so stupid.
“You…are crying.” Your tears stopped suddenly, it was like he was watching you. Maybe you were not as good as a liar or as an actor as you had hopped. “Where are you, cara?” He sounded so serious, his voice dropping. You could almost see the frown on his face.
“It is nothing reall-” You could not even finish your sentence.
“Not again, cara. Not with me, remember? All that bothers you is important, if you need help is okie-dokie to ask.” You started to cry again.
“I-I need h-help.” You managed to say between sobs.
“Where are you?”You had not even notice, but your sprint had taken you to the local park. You told it to him. “I will be there in fifteen. Stay there.”
He hung the phone and you were crying even harder, missing his voice. There was a bench close to you, it was hard and cold. The sun was starting to set and you were feeling so vulnerable. The face of Father Tebbit was in every cloud and every tree, laughing at you. You were a stupid girl if you thought you were safe from him. You had the sudden urge to run away, start a new. You must have been thinking quite hard because the nest thing you see is Cardinal Copia kneeling beside you, opening your hands. They were bloody, probably done by your own nails.
“Cara, look at me. What is wrong? Are you well?” His hair was a bit all over the place and he was sweating. Copia had run to get to you as fast as his legs could take him.
“I am not. S-someone dangerous is coming to get you, Cardinal. You and your church. He is a putrid human, evil and corruption ooze from him...”
“Claire, I don’t understand you…” His eyes sparkled with worry thanks to the last rays of sun of the day and you let out a dry sob.
“There is a man named Father Lawrence Tebbit. He tortured me when I was a child. He is here, and has been assigned to destroy your church.” Your voice was so calm, the tears were still falling, but there was such a calmness to your voice that the Cardinal seemed worried. His eyes widened, he tried to keep calm for you. While he waited for you to speak again, he was drawing circles on the back of your hand. “He is very dangerous, Cardinal. He won’t only destroy you, he will erase your existence from this town. He can do it, he has the means.”
“This is a very serious issue, Claire. I need you to tell me everything you now. First, however, we need to take care of your hands. Do you have medical supplies in your apartment?” You nodded slightly. “Can you take me there?” You nodded again and Cardinal Copia helped you get up. Your legs were shaky and the Cardinal waited until you moved for him to do so with you. Slowly but steadily you took him to your apartment.
————
It was so dark until you flicked the light. It had scared you once, the dark, when you were a child. You were afraid of being scared of it again.
“Where is your first aid kit?” The Cardinal asked. For a while his hand had been placed on the top part of your back. You were grateful thought, without it you might have fallen.
“Bathroom. Behind the mirror.” You said, and the Cardinal let you rest against the wall of your hall. You heard as he fidgeted with the mirror. Something fell and he cursed in Italian. Then, he rushed back to your side.
“Let’s sit you down and then I will cure your hands.”
Your apartment was a mess, but he did not care. Your face was a mess, but he also did not care. He helped you sit on your couch and then he sat right next to you, preparing the alcohol and some gauze.
“Mi dispiace cara (I am sorry darling). This will sting a bit.” He removed his gloves to avoid them getting stained with the alcohol. His hands were big, with long and firm fingers. The Cardinal meticulously cleaned the marks on your palms. You hissed at the painful sensation, but at least it meant you were back to your senses a bit.
After putting some clean gauze on your hands, the Cardinal stood up to throw the bloodied ones in your kitchen. He was gone for a second, but somehow he managed to come back with a glass of water.
“Thank you, Cardinal.” You gave him a slight polite smile.
“Call me Copia, per favore (please).” You blushed a bit.
“Thank you, Copia.”
“Prego (you are welcome).” He smiled back at you. That is when you truly felt safe for the first time since you had heard Father Tebbit’s voice.
“I am sorry for causing you so much trouble, Copia.” You muttered, lowering your head.
“Don’t be sorry about that. You were afraid and seemingly angry. Please explain everything to me so I can understand properly.” You nodded.
You told the Cardinal bits of your childhood. Not the worst ones tough, you were not ready to talk about then. You explained enough for him to be aware of the weight of the situation. Tebbit’s character, what drives him, his large web of connections to violent people… You also told him a bit about your parents and how you ran away. His expression was kind and patient. Nonetheless, as you continued speaking, you could see his brows sinking more and more. Lastly, you explained what you heard, how Mr. Shack had hired Tebbit to get rid of the Satanic church that resided there. The expression on Copia’s face tried to be understanding, but you could feel his anger.
“I am not lying, Copia, I swear.”
“I believe you, cara. Do not worry.” He finally said. “I need to get back to the abbey and explain what you just said. Will you be safe here?” Copia rose from his seat.
“I think so, Tebbit does not know where I live that I know of.”
“Va bene (it's good), for now that should be enough. And I am sorry, Claire, tomorrow I won’t be able to accompany you to pick the flowers. I will send a couple of my ghouls with you to get them. They will pick you up here, at the time we said.” You wanted to go with him though, you decided to keep your desire to yourself.
“Okie dokie, Copia.” You nodded. The Cardinal was turning away from you, putting his gloves back on and heading towards the door. Then you remembered. “Wait. I know it is a bit anticlimactic… you still need to get my sketch approved.”
Copia stood there, in the middle of your hall. He faintly smiled and nodded back to you. You went back to get your sketchbook, a bit nervous. You wanted for Copia to like the drawing, it would balance everything bad out. As you got back to Copia, he was sending a text message. He would probably need to give a lot of explanations when he got back to the abbey. You handed him the drawing. While looking at it, you could see a sad smile appear on his lips.
“It is perfect, cara. I approve.” You smiled so big that you feared some tears would start falling again. As he gave you the sketchbook back, he caught your hand in his, careful to not hurt you, and kissed the back so gently, but you hoped it stained the bandage a bit, a memento.
“Sei un'artista meravigliosa (You are an amazing artist). I will talk to you tomorrow, I promise. Until then, rest well, cara.” After that, he left.
Suddenly the apartment was cold. You did not have the energy to do anything else so you changed into your pajamas and went to bed, wishing there was someone holding you as you drifted into your slumber.
...
Hope you enjoyed! I had a lot of fun writing this chapter (I love drama). Next week I am going away again so I will try to work on some of the AUs. Down below I leave you a rendition made by yours trully of the arragement sketch. It is not as good as I wanted it to be, but you get the idea.

chat noir! kirishima x ladybug! reader hcs
a/n: (fluff, also fem!reader in mind when I was scribbling down this oneshot. i imagine chat noir! kirishima to be 19, as well as the reader in this)
I'm obsessed with the idea of kirishima as chat noir from miraculous ladybug.
think about it, just hear me out for a second. the main trait of chat noir is the brave face that he upholds, boldly flirtatious and playful in manner whilst being a saving grace to Paris. and obviously, similar to the world of mha, he's a superhero with powers. if miraculous was written properly so that chat and ladybug could be an actual yin and yang duo, that would perfectly capture the dynamic of chat noir!kirishima and lady bug! reader.
so. how exactly kirishima relates to chat noir? I can see perfectly that kirishima’s sweet and chivalrous nature is good reason for him to be given a miraculous, yet at first he sort of adopts more similar behaviours like marinette’s original reaction to being a hero at the beginning. nervous, highly doubtful of themselves and denying if they really are fit for the job. but a crucial job is at hand of course, so lady bug!reader would have to snap him out of those thoughts and sweetly but firmly tell him that he is supposed to be a hero, so he better start acting like it. even though you don't feel like you’re quite sure why you were chosen either, both of them having doubt wouldn't fix anything anyway, and with that you throw out your yoyo grinning at him to say, it's ok, we are going to learn together, right? us two, against the world. well. actually saving it.
your words from day one stuck with him, and shape him into the hero he becomes later on. kirishima starts to see the guise of chat noir like a version of himself who he couldn't be in day to day life, and he loves the freedom it gives him. I don't necessarily think that kirishima would be like Adrian Agreste when he's not suited up as chat, but rather like a background type of character with a simple yet comfortable life who longs for more to make his life worth something.
being chat noir, his friends wouldn't even believe it’s him. it’s funny, because underneath that skin-tight leather cat suit, the playful smile that he wears, the cat ears pinned to his bold red hair, underneath all of that still lies kirishima. yes, as a normal civilian he has his undyed black hair but the physical difference pretty much stops there between his two personas. sometimes you see a hint of kirishima’s nail biting habit when he sometimes raises the claw of his costume to his mouth, or when that happy smile falters upon failure, and kirishima freezes in his place. in those moments, hes scared again. not brave anymore. kirishima hates those moments where he's so weak, especially in front of you, the brave ladybug.
I'm going to bring it up again. ever since he first met you, with the pretty red ribbons in your hair, and determined and cute looking in your dotted hero costume, not to mention your words to him of "being in this together"; he couldn't stop thinking of you two being together. the brave face he put on as chat noir meant that sometimes he'd express this by flirting with you cheesily, and endearing you with endless pet names, his favorite of course being bugaboo, and when you were in less of a cheerful mood, reverting to m'lady in a faux politeness instead. even after you would reject him, laughing as you'd tell him to focus on the job instead, he couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster and keep attempting to show his feelings in the quiet moments after missions. Kirishima is so curious to learn more about you, I love to think of him as absolutely whipped for you, but he's also such a respectful guy that he would respect the boundary of the secret identities, and he even turned down the flirting dial a couple notches when you confided in him that your heart was set on another person.
"so... what’s he like?" kirishima can't face you as he feels his cheeks heat up in jealousy. "or uh. she. they. whoever you like."
you're both lying on a rooftop, basking in the peaceful illumination of the moon. tonight's akuma wasn't too hard to catch, having been a couple streets away from your house and the villain was a clueless child caught in a nightmare. After escorting them back to their house to sleep safely, the two of you didn't really have the energy to go back home quite yet, and the crisp air of outside made you feel so alive as you lay next to each other.
"we shouldn't be telling each other so much personal stuff, chat," you say after a pause. "but I mean, as long as I don't say too much, then I guess ... it'll be okay."
Kirishima nods, silent as you continue.
"He’s really sweet and kind. Quiet, but anyone can easily get along with him well. I don't think he realises how much he stands out to me."
"So you gonna tell him?"
"maybe. I don't talk to him a lot, but I wish I could. we are kind of already friends, but I don't think he sees me as... more than that."
"maybe he does! why wouldn't he, you're an amazing person, ladybug," he smiles. "I know you, bugaboo. I know we don't know each other like, in real life, but I definitely would choose you if I could."
"chat!" you laugh, pushing his arm playfully. "You know, you're really sweet sometimes."
a moment passes between the two of you, beating in the night wind that carries over the rooftop.
"do you have anyone special to you like that as well?" you interject into the silence.
"yeah."
his response is instantaneous, almost as if the answer to your question is that obvious.
"well what are they like?"
kirishima exhales, feeling not brave enough in the moment to fully confess his feelings for you. After all, you think most of the time that he's just playing around, being chat. you don't know it, but the love he feels deep in his chest is from him, the real him too, not just his heroic character. kirishima. but as you've always said, how can you get to know this without having to reveal identities and muddle up everything? risk both of your miraculous? it's safer to pretend, whilst under a pretence after all.
"she's determined, hard working, independent yet still soft sometimes. when I see her lower her guard, I just want to be what she can always rely on. because sometimes, when you feel so buried, it's hard to look around and see the hand reaching out to you from right above, y'know?" even though he tried to hold back all the feelings, they blossom in the peace of the night, next to you. "so I feel like she doesn't always see that I want to be that for her. kinda like how you feel with your guy, maybe. I want her to see me, but... it's hard."
you nod, feeling your heart hurt for your feline partner. kirishima can’t stop now that he's started, and it all pours out, honest despite his initial fear.
"and she's so pretty. I love seeing her all the time, even when she's under pressure or having a low moment," kirishima starts to turn red as he rambles on about how her eyebrows pinch together in a frown, the cute pout on her lips, and the shine of her hair. her athleticism, her intelligence, all of it. The girl truly does sound amazing through chat’s eyes, you think to yourself. he must really, really like her a lot.
"you sound like you’re in love with her," you interrupt his ramble, a bit teasing in tone.
"uhm. yeah. maybe." kirishima struggles for words as he realises how long he talked about you to you this entire time, and he's a bit embarrassed that he did that. "yeah, I'd call it something like, uh, love."
you sigh breathily in response. "love, huh? Well I wish you the best with her."
and starting to stand, looking to the moon in the distance: "its getting late, chat."
"yeah, I suppose it is. m'lady." He bows, and then extends his staff as he turns towards his direction to leave.
"You're like the sky."
"huh?" he turns to you, confused.
"Noir. like your name."
it's a lame joke, but it's enough to make him smile as he bids you a "goodnight, m'lady."
"see you around, kitty."
even with your deductive skills, which are essential to possessing the power of the lucky charm, you're still clueless that the one chat noir was telling you about was you, and that you were telling him about him. in the daytime, when you’re not under so much pressure to be ladybug, you’re just a regular person really, hopelessly in love with your college classmate Eijiro Kirishima. the love square in this show is absolutely crazy, but I'm ngl I absolutely live for it and its build up over the seasons. 
I'm gonna shut up now about chat noir!kirishima because honest to god I could talk about him all day, and am willing to make even more detailed headcannons on this au crossover thing in the future mwah ha ha

ɢᴏʀᴏᴜ x ʀᴇᴀᴅᴇʀ ᴄʀᴜsʜ ʜᴇᴀᴅᴄᴀɴᴏɴs
Reader (or Y|N) is NOT the Traveler! They can be A traveler, but they are not THE traveler we play as in the game! 2nd-person pronouns will mainly be used unless otherwise, where I will use they/them pronouns in order to have it remain gender-inclusive (as per usual)
If you want to request something, you can check my pinned post for rules, characters, and fandoms that I write for at the moment! I do change some of the characters and fandoms that I will write for at times, so I suggest you check it often! I hope you all enjoy my comeback post <3
Tumblr media
I am so in love with this doggy general <33 He is LITERALLY the cutest ever
Yae Miko has definitely called him out on his crush on you, along with other things Gorou does NOT want to admit-
“I’d say that you’d like to imagine Y|N brushing your tail gently while you have the softest smile on your face, don’t you? You can deny it all you want, but your tail says otherwise.” and then cut to a Gorou who’s barely retaining his composure.
In fact, he tries his best to not only avoid her himself, but also to get you to avoid her as much as possible. He does NOT want Miko to call him out in front of you.
No matter how much he tries to hide his feelings for you, his tail always gives it away. Whenever he hears your voice or smells your scent (in a non-creepy way), his tail just gains a mind of its own as it wags furiously.
He goes to Kokomi for help, as well as the other soldiers (claiming that he’s asking for a friend), but they all know what’s up.
His main love languages are quality time (despite how busy he normally is), words of affirmation, and physical touch. He really likes receiving gifts and words of affirmation too! Considering that you two aren't dating (yet), he’ll show his affections subtly, as in congratulating you for your accomplishments, giving you cake so that you two can eat together, holding your hand to lead you somewhere, etc.
Speaking of holding your hand, he actually gets very, VERY flustered when you initiate any kind of physical touch, whether it be a long-lasting hug or simply your hands brushing each other.
He appreciates any and every gift you give him, no matter the actual, objective value of it. You could literally give him a rock and he’d still think it’s the best thing in the world
He often rants about you (in a good way) to the Traveler and Paimon, and he could literally go on and on about you for hours if he could because he is literally so head over heels for you <33
“I know this is probably weird to say about a friend, but I just love everything about them! From their hair to their eyes and their voice? Oh, don’t even get me started! They’re always so kind to me, and their laugh is so sweet, and they look so adorable when they're happy and-” literally just say that you’re in love with them it’s literally so obvious
You’re one of the only people who gets to pet his ears, although not in public! As much as he loves you, he still has his “tough general” reputation to keep up (also he would probably die if Miko ever saw him being vulnerable)
GOD FORBID IF YOU’RE THE FLIRTY TYPE- he would quite literally (not literally but you get my point) pass away if you flirted with him! He already loves you so much, but this is going to break him.
He offers to train you if you’d like! Specifically with a bow, not only because it’s what he’s specialized in, but he also wants to be closer to you (figuratively and literally)! He thinks it’s pretty romantic <33
The Traveler and Paimon desperately try to get you two together, much to Gorou’s dismay (it’s not like he doesn’t want to be with you! He’s just really nervous tbh)
This is actually how he confesses in the first place! One of the Traveler and Paimon’s attempts to matchmake you two didn’t go so well, so while Gorou was trying to explain what’s going on, he ended up confessing on the fly, as only a few moments after, he realized what he just said and metaphorically crumbles inside. Thankfully, you feel the same way (I mean, you ARE reading these headcanons for a reason)! Think of the scene where Lumity finally becomes canon in “Knock, Knock, Knocking on Hooty’s Door” from The Owl House!!
Also, after you and Gorou confess your feelings to each other, the Traveler and Paimon definitely high-fived each other behind a tree or a bush for another mission done successfully!
Overall, Gorou’s a sweet and caring individual, and now, you have a doggy general all to yourself <33 treat him well or else /lh

So, lets do this once more and properly.
Hey there! Nice to see you have found your way to my funky little blog here. As mentioned in the header, this is a Whump blog where I'll also ocassionally post some other unrelated stuff, but the main focus will remain on Whump and similar themes.
About me? I'm Pyro, a young adult and my pronouns are He/They. I'm autistic and I have memory issues, so if I don't respond to a tag/ask/dm, or act in a way that's otherwise odd, I can assure you it's not maliciously intended.
Info about what I'll post here, as well as some other important stuff is under the cut!
Mini disclaimer: When I talk about Loki in my tags, I’m talking about my OC Loki, not MCU Loki, just to clear up confusion :)
First off, a couple of ground rules if you want to interact with my blog!
Leave your discourse at the door. This is a hard rule. I'm not apolitical, however I will not take any sides on any conflict on this blog. This applies to fandom stuff, as well as real life happenings and actual politics. There's places to get into that, and this blog is not one of them.
Be civil. I take the freedom to block whoever I need to curate my experience, and that means if you're an ass on mine or someone else's blog, you're getting the boot. I will not explain my reasoning for blocking someone.
On the same note, you're also free to block me for whatever reason. Don't vibe with my posts? Can't stand my blog colors? Don't like me for any other reason? That's cool, lets block and move on.
You're welcome to use my prompts and the tags I leave on other people's post for your own stories, that's why I post them here. Though I'd love if you tagged me in the finished piece, so I can see what you made of the idea!
Please feel free to tag me in tag games and under your stories if you want to! Even if I might not get back to it right away (or even forget it completely), I still appreciate it very much!
If you want something removed from my blog, that's no problem. Just throw me an ask or something and I'll oblige, no questions asked.
This list may be edited at any point in time. I'll note this at the top of the post though.
A couple of my favorite tropes, from the top of my head and in no particular order:
- Concussion/Head injury - A good old fashioned Beatdown - Broken bones - Magic Whump - Major character death - Whumpee dying in Caretakers arms especially - Phobias - Falling (Down the stairs, off a cliff, you name it) - Fainting/Passing out - Hidden injuries along with Injury/Scar reveals - Blood from the mouth/Coughing up blood - Drowning/Falling through Ice - Pinned down by rubble - Whumpee getting impaled on/by something - Hypothermia - Carrying - Gore - Medical stuff - Historical/Fantasy Whump
And here's some tropes you probably won't see here!
- Pet Whump - The BBU - NSFWhump - Lab stuff - Long term captivity - Conditioning/Dehumanization - Paternal Whump (Either as Caretaker or Whumper) - Mouth stuff - Nunhuman Characters (To an extent. Farthest I'll go will be immortality and perhaps a vampire here and there)
I‘ve ditched my tagging system since it was stressing me out, so most reblogs are untagged or only have commentary added to them. I tag common triggers such as vents and mental health stuff, and if you need anything tagged in particular, feel free to tell me! I’ll usually be happy to help out.
I'll also make some introductions for my OCs at this point soon, so stay tuned for that :)
Now, I think that is all for now. My asks and submissions are open, and I usually don't bite, so feel free to hit me up about anything!
Pyro~

natsume & rei’s relationship
┊ ˚➶ 。˚ ☁️ @knowdome’s full request found here !
note: thank you for this ask :D !! i actually love writing about rei’s dynamics with other people so this was very nice 🦇 !
i actually believe out of the five oddballs, rei is the second closest to natsume, of course he falls after shu. previously he was third before wataru fell from grace.
this is actually a really hard ask to pin because i believe rei wouldn’t treat him as a replacement for ritsu. because one, no one could replace ritsu in rei’s heart, even if he tried but he knows it would be futile and in the process, he would hurt other people. and two, rei acknowledges natsume as his own separate person. if anything, natsume is like his second younger brother in his eyes.
the best way to describe how rei views natsume, is that it’s similar to how rei views koga. we have more interactions between those two, rei has admitted to seeing koga as his little brother before. and natsume and rei are close enough to the point i believe koga is a little jealous of their relationship, even if their own is similar in nature. rei just tends to spoil and be overprotective of natsume while treating koga more like a little pet he can come home to and said pet will always immediately wag its tail upon seeing rei.
but what makes this hard is because that doesn’t go to say rei didn’t occasionally accidentally use natsume’s love to cure the wounds in his heart caused by ritsu. and natsume would sometimes remind him of ritsu, both the new and old one.
in those moments, i think natsume could feel the shift in energy and pin down the fact rei is thinking of ritsu whilst chatting with him. it’s in the way his face subtly softens into something more somber, his eyes grow more distant and wistful as if he’s reminiscing on something.
but a small secret… natsume doesn’t call him out for those tiny moments. i mean he toyed with the notion in his mind every once and awhile. a few times his tongue almost slips and he almost tells rei bitingly do not use him as a ritsu standee. i mean, it’s natsume. he does not hold back his tongue and he’s not afraid to tell others truths they do not wish to hear. but simply put— rei wasn’t hurting anybody. natsume’s main factors were the fact rei barely ever treats him as if he were ritsu and most importantly, the amount of hardship rei has gone through in order to keep natsume and other people safe…
natsume is oddly aware of the sort of person rei is. he’s observed him for many moons, he’s let his character sink under his skin. he’s watched this man string himself out for others until he’s nothing more than a thin thread.
surely he can give a little more love to rei if it makes him feel better? especially during such trying times? rei has done so much to protect him from harm, and it’s really no problem. he is a magician, and his goal is make people happy, after all.
and natsume gets his confirmation that he made the right decision some time later when rei and ritsu’s relationship begins to mend but rei still treats natsume as he always has regardless of the fact. doesn’t discard him now that he has his brother’s affection once more. no, he still spoils and dotes on natsume and tries to get him to come into his arms or nap next to him quite often, much to natsume’s annoyance.
now natsume can let that sharp wit of his loose, tell rei go to his brother if he wants to irritate someone with such trivial requests.
a few little good ol’ general relationship hcs because im thinking…
natsume who carries a bottle of tomato juice with him for rei just in case his energy starts to feel low.
natsume accidentally picked up on rei’s weird speaking habits. sometimes natsume catches himself speaking utter nonsense and has to stop himself when he notices how other people are looking at him, sending silent curses to that accursed older brother of him.
tsumugi will often comment on this, considering tsumugi is also oddly fairly acquainted with rei and sees the similarities that pop up, making natsume go hostile and attack the poor guy.
as all the older oddballs feel, natsume is rei’s personal little gem. whenever he has the time, he loves to show support to his stages or if it’s been a little too long, he’ll even invite him out to a nearby cafe to catch up with him. which is rei just “bothering” natsume with his melodramas of how much he’s missed his dear baby and “why are you sitting so far from me? come closer towards me,” “ah, you’ve grown so much since i’ve saw you last, you’re growing into a fine young man,”
you can sometimes find these two within the garden. rei telling natsume about the flowers, natsume snapping back at him he is well aware of what these flowers are as he reaches out to pluck them from their growth for experimental purposes much to rei’s dismay.
and i think natsume feeds off of rei’s energy. it shows in natsume’s extreme treatment of eichi. of course, it comes from how he treated him and his beloved upperclassmen. but natsume feels a deep sense of gratification in seeing he is not alone in this resentment towards eichi, and is pleasantly surprised when rei seems to also be put off by eichi still.
i say pleasantly surprised because rei is someone who holds no qualms with people for long periods of time. and while rei appears to hold nothing against eichi any longer, i find it interesting his dialogue suggests otherwise. he went as far to say he wishes to give eichi a difficult time to make him atone for his actions towards them… only after he sees this struggle, then will he be able to move on.
and natsume loves that. because natsume at his core will never be able to forgive eichi. it’s just not in his character. rei can forgive him someday, but natsume cannot. it’s why he’s grown distant from wataru, seeing him run off to eichi felt as though he turned his back on the oddballs. it’s an action that cut natsume deeply, and it took a lot of time for him to get used to. but truly, he’s never grown used to it, admittedly it hurts to see every time. it’s as though he lost wataru, and you know natsume absolutely cannot stand losing.
it’s an unintentional effect but rei will always try to steer natsume to be that good child he sees within him and tell him to not stay wandering in the past, that he must move forward to reach full potential. natsume just shakes his head and replies for now, he will wander around this room he’s come to know so well, just a while longer, just until he feels eichi gets what he deserves. only then he will consider letting time move forward for himself again.
i think this is apart of the reason rei seems to always be reminding natsume he is a good boy whenever they see one another.
little bonus for what i personally think strengthened their relationship. i love this little moment i love thinking about it in my mind palace.
THE NIGHT… OF THE FINAL EXECUTION…..
rei walking out with natsume, kanata with shu, the four of them split into two pairs.
rei tries to talk about the performance but alas, natsume seems to be too deep within the inner workings of that brain of his. he’s moving almost mechanically, while simultaneously seeming distracted enough to almost bump into a few objects in their path. rei stops talking, opting out for steering natsume to safety.
the silence pursues onward for a minute or two. at least, until natsume decides to stop his tracks and takes an envelope out of his pocket and simply.. tears it in half. there’s a pause. then once more. this time a little more aggressively. and tears one of the pieces again but in a fashion that’s aggravated.
his back is turned to rei, his frame subtly shakes with something rei can’t figure out whether it’s rage or despair. the poor boy just rants out to the void of the night, to the sky that offers not a single assurance to his frustrations. finally expressing his bitter thoughts with how their story ends. natsume cant control the emotions that had him entwined within their thorny grip that day.
he’s tired.. so, so tired. tired from the lack of sleep from the amount of hard work and dedication he put into this dumb script, rendered with no avail. tired of how they’re treating his big brothers. tired of being the villain. tired of eichi. tired of not being able to help.
and when he finally turns around, rei is quite literally waiting for him with open arms.
natsume hesitates at first, words faltering and it takes only a second before the fatigue of it all sets in. a single step forward is all it takes for him to fall into the warm embrace of the so called demon king who is to bring nothing but misfortune.
for someone who is meant to represent the frost of a biting winter breeze, natsume felt as though he were once again a child, coddled by the arms of his mother where nothing bad could happen to him again.
it’s that way that natsume breaks down. he can’t form comprehensible sentences, he only asks rei why. it’s the only word he can muster. the only thought he has within his expansive mind. he desperately craves rei’s classic wisdom, something to make him feel a little more at peace with this conclusion.
rei rests a single hand on his head, idly rubbing it back on his head to soothe his cries. he tells him what a good child natsume has been through this all. and tells him that the path wataru has chosen must be the one they come to accept and support.
natsume wants to get angry again and shout at rei that he doesn’t want to, that he’s been accepting and supporting everything up until this point but he can’t bring himself to do it, rei has him under a weird spell, as though it were a magic unbeknownst to him.
hearing no response, rei continues to say one day natsume will understand the events of today, and along with that, comes the key to knowing why wataru wandered that dim road. it’s not to say natsume can’t be upset at the moment. rei assured him this, told him he could even take out his frustrations on him if he needed, but to spare wataru the trouble for now.
once again, not a word comes back to rei. just the sniffling and heaving of a broken child. it pains rei deeply, deep enough to make him a bit upset at wataru for what they did to their darling boy. he makes a note to give the eccentric a smidge of trouble for making natsume break like this. natsume’s fist just clutch the fabric of rei’s jacket, tighter and tighter to the point he fears the cloth might rip.
but in that moment, that action was the only thing keeping him grounded. rei was the only thing keeping him grounded. his being there with his, holding him in his arms… tears soaking his shirt.
it felt so… human. natsume felt the most human in this moment than he had in years.
together, they stayed underneath that cloudy night. not a single star in sight, nothing to give a glimmer of hope to the five villainous fiends that wandered the yumenosaki school grounds. natsume silently sobbing his sorrows away, and rei absorbing all those emotions, taking them on as if they were his own and sharing his pain as he whispers into the dark little words to ignite any spark of faith that may lay dormant in natsume.
to rei, natsume was a symbol of hope for the oddballs. they were all doomed the moment eichi decided who the five eccentrics were and set his sights on them.
if they could spare just one from pain, it would be worth it all.

The arc of Torchwood as a series is something that's sooo interesting to me so enjoy reading this post if you care.
Seasons 1 and 2, which I like to call Torchwood Who between me and myself, are very simple. It started off as a Doctor Who spinoff, but horror drama instead of scifi adventure. It tries to mix in some worldbuilding, some character work, mystery driven plots, and deeply explored themes, and there's just no room for that; solid bones but kinda boring all around. It's furtile for fandomwork, inkeeping with Tumblr's fine tradition of making up half of their favorite show, but the tone is on the grim and gray side for those purposes. It's ultimately British fast food tv, for everything you'd expect of that.
They didn't expect to get a season 3. They killed off two of the main cast, and gave the rest an ending in the Doctor Who season 4 finale. Then they got a season 3
Season 3 is called Children of Earth and it's a gut wrenching, stomach churning, horror tour de force. The total runtime is down 54%, from thirteen 50-minute episodes (per season) to five of an hour each, but Torchwood Who was monster-of-the-week but Children of Earth is fully serialized, so the premise has 6 times as much room for all the things the series wanted. To a more discerning viewer this is an oasis of pure light in a dim desert; to the humble Tumblrina, this is a betrayal. Children of Earth is not fun; it has fewer gaps to fill with little scenarios and interpretation; and it leaves you broken, hesitant to come back. Honestly CoE being stapled to the end of Who is one of the wilder things in television.
They didn't expect to get a season 4. They killed off another of the main cast and blew up the secret base and almost all of the gadgets; and they gave the rest a sort of biter-sweet ending. Then they got a season 4
Season 4, whose name is Miracle Day, was mostly produced in the US and it shows. The season mostly takes place in the US, but there's a definite change to the writing that's hard to pin down. It's faster paced and more plot-driven, lighter in tone. The runtime was brought back up to ten 50ish-minute episodes, which feels like bloat given how tight CoE was om 60% of that, and the lower budget/screentime ratio is more important with the American style. It also has Bill Pullman? What is he doing here? It would be rich ground for a fandom, if not for the rest of Torchwood. Fans of Who that didn't bounce off CoE are probably gonna mostly spend it missing Who, and to the discerning CoE enthusiast it is AWFULLLLL. My brother hates it so much, which does fill me with power. At the end of the day, when you hear "American sequel to high budget British mini series" you make a series of assumptions and they're all correct.
They thought they were gonna get a season 5. They set up a recurring antagonist, only killed characters that debuted this season and made one of them immortal. They didn't get a season 5, which gives me ample opportunity to pretend to speculate on season 5. Jathesson is endgame
The arc of all of this is soooo delicious to me. They legitimately went "I'm dying let's party!!!" and then "I survived let's just sorta sit here". Hard to sit through for three different reasons. Campy to classy to cheesy. Ultimately I have to give Torchwood 1 out of ten children, because that's a CoE reference. Trying to actually rate the show is tricky, it's three different shows amd deserves three different shadows. I give it 1, 7 and 3 out of 10 on my little pet scale where 0 is neutral. You probably don't need to watch Torchwood Who to get Children of Earth, but you do need Children of Earth to get Miracle Day.
Also, Bill Pullman in Miracle Day is actually so fucking good??? He brings this powerful and spcific energy where he's the most wretched and disgusting thing in history but also still charming and charismatic. How did he do it

I was talking to my spouse about a potential Murderbot tv show and how we worry about them overusing the narration. Like, it's going to have to have some of Murderbot's narration, but it should be used sparingly so it's more effective (overuse of narration in shows/movies based on books is my spouse's pet peeve). So we figured out what our ideal opening for the first episode would be:
Opens with the PresAux survey waking up, getting ready for a day of surveying. It should have a very "these our the main characters of our character driven sci-fi show" energy, with lots of establishing characters moments and information about their relationships to each other.
Occasionally it switches, just for a moment from regular camera work to obvious security camera footage, with no explanation. It gives you the slightly menacing impression that someone is watching them.
But there are some slightly strange moments, like when Pin-Lee is cursing about how terrible the bond company is, it cuts to the security footage and it has that part edited out. Like, she says "that's what the bond company says, the fucking greedy bastards." And then it shows the security camera footage and it just says "that's what the bond company says." With a conspicuous cut. And then someone says or does something funny and the clip of it repeats several times.
Then they go out to go survey and the SecUnit comes out and goes into the cargo hold of the hopper and they are a little awkward around it but otherwise it gets no focus. Maybe a little but of establishing dialogue between characters but no real focus.
Then the incident with Hostile One happens and we really see it from the humans point of view. It jumps in, saves them, we get to hear it talking to Volescu, but it just really comes out of no where. During this part the pov should really be with the humans. The camerawork, directing, everything sould really be expecting us to be in the shoes of the humans.
But then when they get back and rush Bharadwaj to medical, we don't go with them. We stay with the SecUnit as it goes back to the security room, takes off its bloody armor, letting us see how it is part human bits and part robot bits, and gets into the cubicle. We see its inputs of the security cameras (not fully sure how to best represent the multiple inputs and all that) but it pushes those aside and starts up an episode of Sanctuary Moon.
THEN we get the narration from the opening of the book.
I hope we get something like this, because I think it would be a compelling way of showing the expected view of SecUnits as just being vaguely menacing things in the background so when we actually get to see Murderbot being Murderbot, it hits harder. It also would let us get to know the PresAux people the way it does.
Other general ideas:
Murderbot will probably have to speak out loud more often, because of the medium, so it would probably talk to ART and other bots verbally, which is unfortunate but I think necessary. I am not sure the best way to depict ART, especially the way it has such a clear presence, but I have the image of Murderbot interacting with the low level bots and bot pilots and such kind of like how the gruff character who doesn't like people talks kindly to a horse. Like, suddenly speaking softer and more gently, maybe patting it. It doesn't really fit with it in the book, but I think that it would be a good way to show the whole "cozying up" thing it does.
Narration should primarily be used when it says one thing and thinks another, or small little asides, or for internal "Fuck." moments. Any longer ones should be used sparingly to increase effectiveness.
I'm thinking that most likely there won't be too much of a issue with representation aspects re: the humans being whitewashed or straight washed, because I think the TV creators have gotten the basics of that sort of thing down for the most part. I do worry that the casual space polyamory may be removed.
I want the bits of Sanctuary Moon that we see to make very little sense all together and leave us wondering what the hell is happening in this show.

Happy New Year !
Tumblr media
I didn't show the watercolored verison yet, it took me a few more hours. I'm hapy about how it turned out ! All these characters that I played this year did a few things that are worth detailing, although I did mention it quickly on the uncolored version.
I added their names for those who aren't familiar with them yet ! They all have a dedicated blog with info about them, other artworks and their story !
Tumblr media
P'tit Louis' shirt is a reference to the last scenario of his campaign, and the writting in the green pin is a phrase that Paul (one of his companions) said at a very important moment and it was hilarious. The pink pin is a joke from the last scenario we played in Nephilim this year (a French pun). I will also explain why he has a gold ring. I added his fangs, a new metamorphosis he gained at the end of the campaign. @ptit-louis
Tony is very happy, he's holding a lemur's tail, a reference to Keric le Zemmur, an ennemy he killed (and probably traumatized, Keric is certainly in hell, haunted forever by the Sram's grim smile, the last vision he had in his life, and the phrase "I told you that your soul would never have peace"). He is proud ! Also, the villain's name is a pun regarding a French politician. @tony-redrum
Noria is just chilling with her pet frog, Sergent Uc!, she started Hogwards school this year and is delighted to discover that magicx is real, she has so many things to discover ! @noria-helveticus
Lorelei looks chill here, I actually created her design for this drawing, so I'm happy. She started her campaign, the Ennemi Within, and due to her cult, she must keep herself serious. But open your eyes, the short priestress of Morr holds her flail, a weapon that has already proven her skill as a warrior. @lorelei-versengold
Morrigan is just happy, she's just naturally optimistic ! He played 3 scenarios this year already, although he suffered a lot already. She has a good heart, and fighting demon isn't always easy. @morrigan-sahar
Sal'aäd is on vacation. He finally got out of a dungeon, and honestly, it didn't go well for him. Just look in his eyes... He's dead inside. He did get a souvenir from the dungeon though. @salaad-dronnoc
Adélaïde finally began her campaign with my main group... As an NPC, since I'm the DM. SHe put her deer skull down, it's a bit heavy after all ! Although she still wears other smaller skulls in her hair, weird fetish. She's summonning small bbutterfly illusions, they are quite pretty after all. @adelaide-lanshasaa
As for Captain Glucose and his sidekick... They played two one-shots, one where they acquired their new costumes for Scarlet Scarf (Oh, spoiler... Sorry), and the second one where they finally took care of a very sus dude from scenario 3, MLP (Mother Lifting Po*n... Yes, that was his nickname. You see the sus part now ?). They did well on both, although they were quite easy... Our GM is preparing a capaign for them called "No More Heores" and I'm terrifyed. @captain-glucose @captain-glucose-sidekick

ok.. Lame question... So.. we are supposed to feel sorry for Cook because He feels like he was extra , the team didn't make him a member, he wasn't sure Aisha liked him.. Yadda yadda yadda... Ahh.. So I did a re read of most of the comics (digital comics are a wonderful thing).. and from my understanding.. Our Boy Oliver was ALWAYS destined to be the white ranger... him being green was pure manipulation on the part of Rita. If she could make this kid meant to be the embodiment of good turn evil she'd win. Which leads me to believe that everyone who's a ranger was meant to be one. So where is this Flake getting the idea that he was "extra?" He IS a ranger.. So by the logic of the WHOEL rest of the series, clearly He's a ranger cus it was meant to be... Did rita rip his brain appart so hard that he ACTUALLY believes that? SHEESH... I'm starting to like Cook LESS and LESS as this goes along, And I didn't like him that much to begin with!
Yes, we are absolutely supposed to feel sorry for M/tt. It's practically being shoved in our faces every issue since #101 that he's just the most tragic sad boy ever and we need to cry over how tragic his circumstances are, and understand that all led to his fall. It's reflected by how the rangers are absolutely devastated by his kidnapping, and how this has been the main emotional arc for the books for a whole YEAR. They want us to be invested in him and his circumstances.
The problem with that is, besides it being so unbearably over the top at this point that it's hard to take seriously, these so-called tragic circumstances aren't true, and were never supported in the text. The team DOESN'T consider M/tt expendable; they always include him in their missions and love him to the point where they'll choose to save him over saving the Morphin Grid. Aisha DOES return M/tt's feelings and would have said yes if he had asked her out. Grace sees him as a valuable member of Promethea and apparently chose him for "his heart" (ignore that her first choice for Green was DRAKKON). The so-called turning point for M/tt succumbing to evil was Kim, Trini, and Zack leaving him to carry all of the snacks at the movies, which........is frankly pathetic lol. And then of course there's just the fact that his origins as a ranger were pretty much perfect - he's a public celebrity, he adapted to the ranger powers flawlessly, he beat Zedd in his first ever mission with no negative repercussions. There is literally nothing wrong with M/tt's life that he would realistically have angst over at this point; and therefore there's little to empathize with. But now suddenly he's just SOOOOOOOO sad and you should feel SOOOOOOO sorry for him - I don't even know if Grace is legit dead because I just have such a hard time believing they'd pin such a horrible deed on him, evil spell or not, because heaven forbid anything ACTUALLY goes wrong in his life that he's not immediately excused for.
(Also for what it's worth him being an "extra, expendable" ranger was his angst at the beginning of the arc. Now his angst is that he's a "replacement," which I would assume is what they intended this whole time as it's supposedly the reason he likes Aisha as he says they have that in common, but that isn't the same thing and isn't even true in his case. He didn't replace Tommy, Tommy replaced himself. Hell, Tommy was arguably M/TT'S replacement in the first place. But again, everyone else obviously doesn't consider him as anything but a valued member of the team, so it's moot anyway.)
It sucks! And it just cements him as Boom's pet character that does nothing but take up development and screentime from the characters we actually care about and have gotten nothing in comparison (ADAM!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Misa for the ask meme!
Oh, thank you! ; - ;
Misa Amane, hmm.. my least favorite thing about her is her static personality. She'd be a lot more interesting if Ohba actually bothered to give any character besides Light a legitimate arc. She never grows, never changes, she just stays the same. If she were written in a way where the cracks start to show (her "relationship" with Light, what they're doing) and if she decided she didn't want that lifestyle anymore, she wants to be loved by a true and honest person, not playing pretend with a serial killer...I think that realization and Misa doing her best to try and escape that situation would have been such a relatable masterpiece.
As far as favorite thing goes, I'm going to say her personality. When she's not Kira, she's really endearing, cute, and fun. Her character is definitely an amazing foundation that could have been so much more, in hands that actually cared. Aside from that, her fashion sense. Even when I forgor about Death Note for however many years, I STILL wear my hair like this cute lil bitch because she's just so iconic. She's a lot different than the rest of the cast, where they're so calculating and secretive. Misa is bold, and creative. I would have loved an AU where she isn't Kira, but somehow ends up in this mess anyways and works as a spy for L, along with Matsuda. Because their manager-model duo was just too fun.
Fanon pet peeves? I don't really have any. Aside from a large majority of people hating her. She's not perfect, like anyone in the series she has her own flaws and fuck-ups, but the fandom can really treat her poorly.
And yes, contrary to what many would like to say, she is smart - just not a literal genius like Light, L, Mello, Near...y'know, the ones who are intentionally supposed to have near-superhuman intelligence. Funny thing is, I honestly feel that half of the fans who call Misa stupid are probably...not much smarter than her. If you ask me, she's of "average" intelligence, but also - there's no need to shame a character (or real person for that matter) for not...being a genius. I know it's hard in a show where most of the main characters have above-average intelligence, but that is really not the norm.
Want to know what else pisses me off with how the fandom treats Misa? They neglect her traumatic past. Granted, you can definitely pin this on Ohba not really giving much of a fuck when it comes to backstories, and that we only get a short glimpse of her story...but she lost her parents and was almost assaulted by a deranged fan. Within a short amount of time. When she was a young adult. Like, this is no excuse for her wrongdoings, but for fuck's sake it definitely explains some shit.
If she had a dedicated episode similar to Mikami did, I bet a lot of people would have a lot more empathy for her character. I can't really fault people for not caring when her backstory is brushed under the rug faster than my weed when someone opens my door, but still.
Also, people saying they hate her, "because she's annoying" I don't even try to discuss this with. Whether their opinion is valid or not I don't care, I've just had enough of female characters hated for being "annoying". It's just an argument I don't want to have anymore.
Send me a character and I'll tell you my least favorite and favorite thing about them and the fanon pet peeves I have with them
