Bravern episode 8 spoilers

EP 8 Analysis

This is going to be super incoherent and is mostly just going to be me rambling but idc, I need to post this somewhere so it’s not ruminating in my head until I assault some random human with word vomit

So this is mostly going to be focus on episode 8 but I will touch back on previous episodes for references.

Anyways Episode 8 basically just confirmed the “Bravern is Smith” theory and I am so hype

What is the “Bravern is Smith” theory?

So the Bravern is Smith theory is a theory that.. well.. Bravern and Lewis Smith are the same person.

I’m not sure who started it but (I think) it started when the opening showed for the first time and we got to the scene of Smith’s arm becoming Bravern’s. From there it spiraled, more and more evidence pointing towards it, such as: Bravern knowing A LOT about Smith, Bravern making a lot of human pop culture references and speaking English interchangeably with Japanese (Smith does this too), Bravern being a super robot (Smith is a massive Super robot nerd) and a ton of other things

Episode 8:

Now we get into why I’m finally making a post about this, I’ve been following along with this theory since episode 2 and have been taking my notes on it but I never bothered posting about it anywhere

Why now?

Because episode 8 might’ve just confirmed it.

Let’s start with the opening:

So this right here is the catalyst that started this all, Smith’s arm turning into Bravern’s. Now, we knew all that, but the one thing we never knew until now was “who tf is glowy bitch”

Well,

I think is Knuth

“But why her? She looks nothing like the silhouette”

Look here, she has plates of armor that highly resemble two pairs of wings. Who else has two pairs of wings? The silhouette. Same placement and everything. I think the silhouette is meant to be vague, as to not tip the viewer off right away that the silhouette is a deathdrive.

We’ll come back to this later, I need to talk about Bravern’s lines during this episode.

I’m not entirely sure how to explain it but this line will be important later, for now it’s just more Super Robot inspirational speech

Right here is the important line, the title of the episode (which is what tipped me and a lot of other people off to Smith dying) and the last thing Bravern says to him. Now normally when entering a battlefield, you’d tell your comrade “Good luck”, “Until we meet again” makes it seem like someone will die, this is a line usually used when you’re not sure when you’ll see someone again. Bravern used this because he knew what was going to happen to Smith, and either he can’t stop it, or he doesn’t want to.

Bravern knows because he has gone through this before, as Smith.

That is likely why he told Smith to “save as many people as he can”, likely because when he went through this, a lot of people died

(This ties into my own branch of the theory where Bravern has already gone through all of this before and went back in time to change the outcome)

Now during the fight, Bravern isn’t really focused, he’s taking hits he’d normally be able to dodge and isn’t really rushing like he usually does. I think it’s because he’s trying to stall, trying to keep Isami away from Knuth and Smith so their fight can happen, either that or he’s distracted due to knowing what’s happening not that far away (or it could be both)

Before we get to this next part I wanna point out a quote I noticed during the episode from Knuth. I can’t find it just by scrolling and I’d rewatch the full episode to find it but Tumblr is lagging like hell and burning through my battery so I can’t

At one point Knuth mentioned something about fusing with Smith, this might mean that Knuth’s body ends up being the base for Bravern, but im still not 100% sure about that, just thought I’d add that. If she is the base and Bravern did in fact go back in time, this would make sense as Knuth had mentioned that she had gone back in time a few times

Now we get to focus on the important part of the episode, Smith’s death. Let’s just start listing off things to pay attention to.

(I reached the photo limit oops)

- Smith is humming his own theme song as he charges Knuth, Bravern sings his own theme song and blasts it whenever he fights

- He straight up says “Brave Slash” as he strikes Knuth

-Smith talks DIRECTLY INTO ISAMI’S MIND and says the following quote: “Isami. Isami. Brave. Brave… Bang.” And we all know why that’s important, the title of the show is literally “Bang Brave Bang Bravern”

There are still some questions, like “how was Smith able to use telepathy?” “How exactly is Bravern created?” “Is Bravern truly a fusion between Smith and Knuth?”

I know this probably makes zero sense but I need to get this out somewhere

Thanks for coming to my TedTalk (holy shit it’s so laggy)

Edit: I forgot to mention it but the foreshadowing for Smith’s death was so obvious, legit in his introduction Isami legit goes “You’re dead, the dead don’t talk” so uhh called it lmao

I have enjoyed your thoughts on the Netflix adaption so far and I have to say we're basically on the same page. But I have found so far that episode 6 was my favourite episode by far. And I put that mainly down to the Aang and Zuko stuff. The fact they left it mostly untouched and just added to it felt really good to me. I also might hold a controversial opinion here but I feel like the chemistry between them in this episode is the strongest of any dynamic in this live action so far.

Oh no you are absolutely correct. I love the chemistry between Dallas and Gordon both on and off screen. It really feels like they're long lost brothers, Dallas really took Gordon in like family (especially seeing the clips of them at the tudum event where Dallas and Gordon did all the red carpet interviews together)

I loved the Blue Spirit chapter in this live action, and i am repeating myself but YES it absolutely is because they barely changed it. I loved Ken Leung's performance in this episode and honestly i kind of wished the fight to get out of the fortress lasted longer. Both Gordon and Dallas are really good at martial arts, so this fight felt the most like an Avatar fight out of all of the ones i had seen thus far. Even the change they did make, which is the conversation Zuko and Aang have while Zuko recovers, it was so good! I loved the way they played off of each other and it felt so naturally awkward bc these two are supposed to be enemies and they're just chatting.

My reviews of this LA are a lot of negative, and i understand that may not be fun to read for everyone, so please know that i do have some positive things to say about the live action.

I get a lot of people saying "you couldn't have possibly expected everything would be the same? Stop comparing to the original!" And to that all i have to say is: no, i obviously did not expect everything to be the same and i did expect things to be left out. BUT i was rooting for the changes they'd add to make sense and they mostly don't. If it were changes that didn't flip the whole dynamic between characters or disregard the point the original was trying to make i'd be happy, but that's not the case here. Also i will not stop comparing to the original bc this show is based on the original atla. Why in the hell would i not compare?? It's not like this is a completely different show with no relation to the original, and neither is it a spinoff within the same universe? It doesn't make sense not to compare!

Anyway review for 7 & 8 is underway but i'm still struggling with the format of the post and getting my incoherent messy notes into, y'know, english

Hello! I really appreciate that you are willing to write platonic fics🥹 Can I request douma with gn reader? Can be any trope you want

the founder's companion.

summary. doma has a child now! what could possibly go wrong?

trigger & content warnings. canon-typical blood & violence, cult discussions, doma is his own warning.

tropes, pairings, fic length, & other notes. fluff. doma & demon!child!reader. 0.6k words. they/them pronouns for reader.

author's thoughts. hello dear! not only am i willing to write platonic fics, i ONLY write platonic fics teehee..... though i have posted other demon slayer requests, you were my first, so thank you! that's so real of you 🙏 this is pretty short, i'm sorry! if you would like a bit of a longer post, please do send in a slightly more specific request.

doma definitely has a habit of picking up random, orphaned, half-dead kids off of the street. he would totally do it all the time. he picks up random kids and turns them into demons. he just thinks they're so pitiful! it's so sad, he could just cry for them... seeing poor little children with no other hope forsake humanity and slowly become cruel demons is very entertaining for him, though. children are the pinnacle of human innocence, after all.

because of this, literally no-one is surprised when he shows up to an upper moon meeting with some kid balanced on his hip.

did he procreate??? did he take them under his wing after murdering their entire village?????? who knows. the other upper moons sure as hell don't. they don't care to either.

(akaza is kind of worried though because what the fuck? who let doma of all demons have a child??)

doma is oddly enamored with them, cooing at the way they absentmindedly toy with the ends of his blonde hair.

it's almost as if they feel no fear, no concern over the fact that the third most powerful demon in existence is holding them in his arms as if they were his own child... not that doma would feel anything towards a child of his own, of course.

if anything, the child he holds seems downright bored, murmuring some incoherent complaint about being dragged along again as they tiredly lay their head on upper moon two's shoulder, drifting in and out of consciousness.

the fact that they hold little fear towards muzan is also very concerning, but perhaps that has to do with the cult leader's influence; he sure as hell doesn't fear muzan, why should he teach them to?

they have no regard for... any demon, for that matter. the upper moons are collectively quite surprised to see them smile slightly at doma; it's the most expressive that little kid has been since the demons laid eyes on them... maybe that's part of why he took them in? their overall minimal expression seems to have made doma fond of them.

when they do express something, however...

their little fanged grin is very cute in doma's eyes. he thinks they're very cute. <3

he says shit like "you're so cute, i could just eat you up!" but he's dead serious. they genuinely don't give a single fuck. they probably just reply with something like "do it. i dare you. coward. you won't."

they're right, he won't.

(he could; he just chooses not to.)

i wholeheartedly believe daki and gyutaro would be jealous of them. doma knows this. he finds it funny, or as funny as an emotionless demon could find something to be, anyway.

those two know better than to harass them, though. it's in their best interests to let that child be, no matter how jealous it makes them.

doma is not the demon to enrage. the siblings know that; it's best that they don't push their luck with him.

the eternal paradise cult adores them.

(it's mostly because they wouldn't dare do anything to upset their founder, but still! some of those people are genuinely enamored with lord doma's little companion.)

everyone's always doting on them, spoiling them with the same twisted, religious love that they treat doma with.

what's really worrying, though, is that this demon child will inevitably grow into the same twisted habits that doma has.

akaza worries that they'll end up like him.

upper moon three is a demon; he's not heartless (some demons are, he supposes, but he is not one of them).

his concerns are reasonable.

because really, when faced with doma's tendencies towards messy bloodshed and violence, all they do is huff and point to a newly stained carpet: "look what you did. you got her blood on the new carpet, doma-sama. that will never come out."

demons have twisted relationships, but at the very least... doma's done nothing to hurt them.

hopefully, he never does.

please consider reblogging, it helps me out a lot!

The Nine Houses

Worldbuilding/Lore

<< Previous: Masterpost

The Nine Houses refer to planets, named, presumably, in order of colonisation. I'm befuddled as to which one is which planet, if we're going on the assumption that this is the solar system. This is what I've extrapolated from reading:

First is Earth.

Second is most likely Mars - gathered from the fighting energy of its house, proximity to Earth and viability for terraforming, and also this:

"[...]Each Beast is different. I have fought numerous now, and each Beast is quite unlike any other … Number Two spewed quicksilver and remade itself into hundred-foot spikes. Number Six kept sucking us into enormous sphincters and spraying us with worms. I cannot even remember what it looked like. I remember Number Four … it was a humanoid creature with a beautiful face who held me under the water, and it spoke in a lovely voice but it only repeated, die, die—and I recall Number One as a great and incoherent machine … when I saw it I thought it had a great tail, and a thousand broken pillars on its back, but Cassiopeia saw it as a mechanical monster with swords for wings, and great horns of myelin, tessellated over with graves.” It was the Saint of Duty who said, restlessly: “Number Eight was a giant head.” “Finned like a fish,” said Augustine, lost in reverie. “Its ribs were bloody bandages, and its teeth protruded through its own skull, tangled about its face like a nest. It was red, and it had a single eye of green that moved all about the body …"

Metal-related appearance, from the planet notoriously rusty.

Actually, this passage describing the Resurrection Beasts - revenants of the planets - was the thing that got me into trying to assign planets to Houses based on, mostly, vibes.

Forth could be Venus, based on this passage alone. I could easily be wrong.

Sixth is Mercury I reckon. In the epilogue of HtN the setting is described as very hot - close to Dominicus. I reread it now and I don't think it's ever mentioned to be set on the Sixth, in fact parts of it actively contradict that assumption, but somehow I seem to have gotten that into my head anyway? But even so, Sixth is described as the one closest to Dominicus - notably this passage:

The Emperor dropped to his haunches and eased the white robe off Mercy’s dead shoulders. He shrugged his naked body into it—coyly pulling it closed—and he stretched his jaw in his mouth, and wriggled the tip of his newly grown nose. “Right,” he said, and closed his eyes briefly. Then he said, “The sun has stabilized. Hope the Sixth House didn’t get cooked in the flare.”

This to me pretty much confirmed the Sixth as Mercury.

Eighth, in the above passage about the Resurrection Beasts, is described in ways that immediately make me picture Jupiter. Red, a single eye of green moving all over the body? Ribs were bloody bandages? A "giant head" - Jupiter, in Roman mythology was the king of the gods? Am I way off the mark here?

And Ninth is Pluto, furthest from the sun, cold and desolate. And solid. (How are they pulling off living on gas giants?)

This leaves the Third, Fifth, Seventh houses to be matched with Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. At a loss, still, for how gas giants are supposed to be colonised. The general infrastructure of the pre- and post-resurrection world/Empire has me asking questions like, where do they get the materials to build starships and feed their officers? Metal and plastic seem abundant. In terms of food we've mostly seen snow leeks, Canaan House and the Mithraeum, all of which are probably exceptional to what a regular House person eats. There is some talk of John's expansion and colonising efforts, so do they just go to random planets - are there aliens in this universe? (Is Alecto one?) So the Empire is expanding, mining colonised planets for ore and oil to turn into plastic - though that would indicate a lot of life on a lot of these planets, so I'm gonna guess that whatever happens to those planets isn't kind to the native flora, fauna and people.

Of course, there's always the option that this isn't meant to be the planets at all, and even if it was, it might be a lot more metaphorical. Or just actually a completely different world to ours, not the solar system at all. (Though there's many explicit and implicit pop culture references which would indicate the First to truly be Earth, so we're sticking with this theory.)

Are they actually on the planets - we haven't seen any planets other than First, and Ninth, arguably big exceptions; the Epilogue seems to be set on a moon of some kind, after a more thorough reread. The Actual Planets are dead, or rather resurrected, with their revenants on the hunt. Could be that the Houses do stand for the planets, and some people might be living on (or near) the actual planets, but a lot of people are actually living away from the solar system entirely - born into "Houses" far from the sun, into the Emperor's war machine. It's hard to tell.

Either way, I'm not gonna assign any more planets now until I know more.

>> Next: The Resurrection

LU Superhero AU Rambling

It’s so hard to write my thoughts about my Superhero AU into words, so let’s skip a good chunk of the lore and talk about the Links. I’m going to be a bit incoherent because I am very tired right now.

Sky - So for starters there are Blessings and there are Powers. Powers are typically biological and Blessings are well, blessings from the gods. In Sky’s case, his Blessing was his prophetic dreams from Hylia. His Power is um, honestly somewhat body horror so I won’t describe it too much. To put it simply, he grows a bunch of wings, like a biblically accurate angel. And he has a bunch of feathers. Anyways, his Power is a secret to everyone, including Sun, mostly because he recently discovered that he had this power. Everyone else just thinks that his Blessing is actually his Power. So he doesn’t go out into the fray often, but he is good friends with all of the Heroes and Knights. He also goes go-karting with Wild.

Wild - Okay, it’s crazy time now. So Wild used to be a Hero in training and Flora’s personal Knight, but then the Calamity struck(which was much shorter compared to canon because modern AU) and he lost his memories while the other Champions lost their lives. As well as a bunch of other people like Wild’s entire family but let’s not worry about that. He got trapped in a multiple month coma while Flora held the Calamity in place. Then Wild woke up and helped end the Calamity. He didn’t wield the Master Sword for long(he physically couldn’t after he woke up, it burned him and sapped away his life force)but he did speed run fixing the Divine Beasts and gaining the Champion’s Power, since his Power is being able to use the Powers of ghost/spirits. But he kept this Power a secret mainly because he was in complete and utter denial about the ghosts of his friends following him around. He still thinks that he’s just gone crazy, because he would rather have that.

Twilight - Heheh. So, he doesn’t have a Power but does have a Blessing, which is his ability to turn into a wolf. He parades around in his wolf most of the time, the public believing that he’s just a magic wolf spirit that decided to protect humans. Time also used to do that, so everyone thinks the two wolves are related somehow. Twilight and Time are actually cousins in this AU, because they have to be related somehow. He has a heavy face of goth makeup to cover up his markings whenever he wants to go out. But he generally just stays in wolf form most of the time, his Hylian form having the wolf pelt covering his face-with the Hawkeye mask on underneath it-so that when he is forced to transition into a Hylian, no one would know who he was. He also doesn’t talk too much while disguised, only talking to Wild and Red.

Time - He’s a Hero, but not for the reasons you think. He doesn’t use his Power, or even most of his masks, he’s just a great fighter and can be very intimidating. He wears the Mask of Truth almost all the time while on duty, with some people thinking that it allows him to read the minds of his opponents. It doesn’t do that, but it does helps him talk to Twi while he’s in wolf form. When not on duty, he’s on the farm, with his lovey wife Malon and occasionally blessed with the appearance of Twi in his full face of goth makeup. Time knows that the wolf is Twi but doesn’t tell him, it’s a lot funnier this way.

Wars - So there was this time war that no one remembers except for him, Lana, Commander(aka Artemis but I don’t like calling her that sry), and General Impa. So most know of Wars as an exceptionally excellent Knight turned Hero, who is currently training a younger Hero, Wind. Wars’ Power is the ability to use and identify different magical attributes, like Light, Dark, Fire, Water, and Lightning. Also because of the time war, everything kinda got messed up. Basically, it’s the cause of this AU every existing. Wars is very aware of this. He feels very responsible for this, because the whole thing started because Cia is a horrible person and wanted to be with him.

Wind - His Hero name is Wind Waker. Need I say more. He has wind powers. I honestly can’t think of much for him rn, I’m so sorry.

Four - He still hides the fact that he can split into four, but now he is split into four all the time while on duty. Legend is the only one who is aware of this, mainly because he had used the 4Sword before. Four’s Power is being able to turn into a Minish. Also Red is besties with Wolf Twi, they care so much about each other it’s so cute and I wish I could share all my thoughts about it. But alas, I am not going to, because I am far too tired.

Legend - The most famous Hero, unfortunately. He has no Powers of his own, but he does have a fuck ton of magical items and is very skilled with them. Before the story starts he had just came back from Hytopia, being a Triforce Ranger and having the time of his life. But now he has the Power to move his soul between the Doppels, and potentially…other vessels. He’s not going to tell anybody about this, of course not. Currently is training Hyrule, because he feels like Hyrule is connected to him, somehow.

Hyrule - He has a lot of Powers, he is the magic man. He’s a Hero in training even though he already saved two Zeldas, but that’s partially because his area of Hyrule he was from was far away from the area of Hyrule the story’s set. They don’t know much about him and his Zeldas.

Also this is all subject to change and may not be indicative of my actual thoughts and plans for this AU since I am not great at explaining things, especially right now.

#linked universe #linked universe au #lu sky #lu wild #lu twilight #lu time #lu warriors #lu wind #lu four #lu legend #lu hyrule #super hero au #god this kept getting more and more incoherent as I wrote on. literally have to stop myself because no one would understand what I’m saying #I barely understand what I was saying ngl #I’ll uh revisit this one day #I got a lot to say about four twi and wild specially #fever rambles

anyway i've got purring witches on the brain again. as usual the thoughts involve the princess AU kiddos, more specifically hunter and amity. bc like. i am who i am as a person

in the past mostly i've just thought about the turbo autism potential of a tiny luz knowing she can scritch a tiny hunter behind the ears and he'll purr about it like a kitty. something that entertains her for hours. this morning i'm thinking about how once they're older, hunter is high-strung enough that he likely almost never purrs anymore and luz might've forgotten he even Can. until some night when there's less to worry about than usual and he's unusually relaxed and sleepy and starts rrrrring about it & luz is like.

oh.

oh my god.

hang on i need to put my head on your chest right now.

mhm. yeah i'm For Sure gonna fall asleep within the next two minutes and have pretty pleasant dreams for once. good night perfect angel catboy i am already snoozing into incoherence mmmfnghlblargbn

and also. amity sometimes purrs in her sleep. and luz is like. She Can Never Know About This. bc if i tell her about it then she'll figure out some way to Stop. and i want her to keep having happy dreams :(

#eta i change my mind im not sorry im just overtired #sorry for fluffposting my immune system is on fire. i'll post smart cool stuff later #for now you get kids who are sleeping more peacefully and easily than me. wish i had a purring companion to soothe my current headache #toh #princess luz au #shitty idiot repression gang #horrible mindscape trauma pals #lumity

💫,☯️,💌?

💫 what is your favourite kind of comment/feedback?

any kind of feedback is good, but i especially love one that points out a bunch of details that you didn't expect people to notice. but they noticed. and then on the other end of the spectrum we have mostly incoherent insults about how horrible i am, which are fun, because i do love when my writing causes emotional distress. 😇

☯️ how do you think engaging with each other through tumblr, twitter, comments, kudos, creates healthy fandom experiences? How do you deal with that if you're not a social person/experience social anxiety?

i mean it depends on what kind of engagement we're talking about obviously, because some kinds of engagement are. not good. but i think it's generally true that even just interacting with the art, fics, etc. that people put out that you like is a great way to motivate them to create more. looking at some of my old catws posts (🤡) last week reminded me just how much more engagement art, fics, etc. used to get, and it definitely made me miss how much more active people used to be on here.

💌 share something with us about an up-and-coming work (WIP) that has you excited!

i wanted to try to share something from chapter two of honor bound, but it's in pieces right now. i very much posted the first chapter and have since let it rot for seven months because life stuff/writer's block/imposter syndrome have all conspired to keep me from finishing the next one, and i really need to stop doing this. �� anyway here's an excerpt from chapter three of a different kind of solace, which i also keep trying to finish and i PROMISE it's close i promise—

Eivor draws him out of his thoughts with a soft hum. “Perhaps King Ceolwulf may welcome you back into the fold. You are a steadfast warrior and a man of honor—the exact kind of ally that a fledgling king needs by his side.” There was a time when Leofrith would have basked in the praise, bent himself into whatever shape necessary to prove himself deserving of it. Eivor’s suggestion is sound—it would be easy enough to don the role of war-thegn once more if it were offered to him. It would be familiar, comfortable, like slipping into a pair of well-worn boots—and the very opposite of what he wants. The realization startles him. For years, Leofrith has given away pieces of himself, sliver by sliver, cutting and tearing until he was left entirely stripped bare by duty. What he did in Rome was a necessary bloodletting, a purging of what remained of Burgred’s poisonous grip on his life. Eivor has managed to warm him enough that blood pumps anew within his veins, but her presence is only a temporary fire, soon to be extinguished, and he worries what will become of him when he is left alone again. But being freed of his oaths, free to live as he sees fit for the first time since he was a boy is overwhelming, terrifying . . . liberating. And Leofrith cannot remember a time when his own needs or wants held any weight, any importance. Not before last night.

fic writer asks 💖

#i knew i should have just waited to start posting hb until i had a decent backlog of chapters #and ANY fic i write that's longer than a one shot for that matter #but the need for instant gratification got me 🤡#i also have realized that i do this thing where i share a piece of writing and if it gets a good response i become convinced #that anything i put out from that point on will just be disappointing which. is obviously not great for my ability to write #trying to answer these after a few glasses of wine so if it doesn't make sense i'm sorryyyyyyyyy #answer #aeide #ask games

Just two friends having curiosity about sex (X Pedri)

Summary:

"What's so good about same-sex relationships anyway, Pedri?"

As if he had been dropped from his dream, Pedri woke up and raised his head in a daze when the flowing voice of Gavi suddenly startling again, stopped his heartbeat.

For Gavi; football is his universe.

There is a bit of a sentiment that is created when Gavi knows that the football makes his whole body aroused for no reason. How great his enthusiasm led him to that. But in the end, there is good thing.

For Pedri himself, Gavi is a dazzling beauty.

Pedri understood this fact well when he could see up close how the man's perform in field. His ability, his dribbling, his pace. Every second of it; even though they are separated by a non-romantic distance that always happen in the field, Pedri has never been honest that he said his heart fluttered when he found Gavi in his fiery state when he playing.

According to Pedri, this is romance. The person who he always call in his heart; what Pedri wants is that one day he can have Gavi all to himself. The charming Gavi. Gavi who only saw himself. Pedri needs a place so that he feels more special in the eyes of his dear friends, unable to carry a relationship just as usual friends.

But Gavi has girlfriend.

He has princess Leonor.

Pedri always thought about that, so he gave up before really knowing whether Gavi had ever really been interested in making love to each other or not. They are similar; men and men, appropriate only limited to sharing stories and playing football together. Instead of—

"Uh, Pedri. What's so good about same-sex relationships, anyway ?"

As if he had been dropped from the dimness of his highest dream, Pedri woke up and raised his head in a daze when the flowing voice, suddenly startling again, stopped his heartbeat.

Pedri's brows furrowed. Unexpected statement came out of the ideal figure of love in his deepest imagination, Gavi who is still busy with game in front of him.

Even if his lips had spoken bringing incoherent issues to the surface, Pedri had never thought for a moment that 'this" would arise in his friend's mind.

"Why you suddenly asking that?" He who was sitting with the back of the chair right in front of him, in front of Gavi, flinched. Pedri straightened his back, making sure 'this' was not a mistake in his hearing. "What possessed you to say such strange things?"

"Suddenly thought of that " Gavi stop play as expected; standing face to face with Pedri. "You know the rumor that Lewa and Reus is ex. I am just curious."

Pedri only look at his friend. Behind Gavi, right on the bedside, there are two men depicted in the mirror, both of them.

Pedri's gaze fell again. Haven't decided to move closer yet. It took time to really accept the shock.

"Do you want to try it ?"

"What?"

"Relationships with other guys," Pedri pointed at himself confidently. "With me. But if you're asking the truth, well, I don't know either. Why don't we try it together?"

"You are crazy, Ped." Gavi interrupted the continuation of this proposal. This is crazy.

Pedri put his phone back on the table, stop playing. "I'm just asking. If you don't want, its okay, "

Pedri knows that he must be crazy offering this idea for many reasons. But from that, when he see mischievous smile in his friend, he is falling. Pedri's mistake was to give Gavi the opportunity to bring up the topic, without realizing it.

Pedri gulped. Shit. Gavi who was never really touch or be touched. What should one expect from person who always spends most of his time palying football? Mostly silent; focus on his world, sometimes forgetting that he still has a figure that needs attention (like Pedri).

On the other hand, Gavi's feeling himself was a mess. Gavi had never had any experiences in his life. Even with Leonor, he didn't have sex. Regarding loving someone and making love, that is not a realm that Gavi has to develop in himself. And even though he never said it, he know that Pedri also knew that

Well, what else can one expect from a man that enjoy football so much? Running, dribbling, scoring a goal ; winning the game and be the best player. No other things needed for Gavi.

Suddenly, with not a single word, Pedri stood. He goes forward and kisses Gavi's hair which he grabs with his hand.

Gavi surprised, his eyeballs widening instantly. The rush of breath out when their noses meet, greeting each other's cold skin.

He who was too shocked, was now worried that this situation would mess up their friendship. Gavi was reluctant about that, so he let Pedri grab his waist, wrapped in an unbroken embrace, pressing their stomachs together.

And Pedri pulled him in a deep kiss.

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

Serious or not, Pedri would not know how to take this situation now.

The last time Pedri could see Gavi this intimately and from this close is when the rain flushed their bodies. Final UCL 2024. A frustrated Gavi under the dripping water. Pedri who came to comfort him didn't expect that there would be tears. It was unexpected that Gavi, who was as strong and calm as that, could experience panic.

Or, when they are stuck in the same narrow space? Huddled together, willing to avoid the paparazzi's pursuit. Pedri can feel his scent. Gavi who was trembling in an unpleasant state that engulfed him also had pain in his heart.

"Pedri... stop—"

And similar too; Gavi seemed to be embracing his body at the moment.

The curiosity that made his friend always want to find out more led to a deal that was reaped without direction. Such an assumption makes Pedri not have the slightest shame to touch the man who graceful body trembles with fear; Gavi licked his lips, holding back the groans that slid even though Pedri had just touched his chest and stomach. Perhaps, it tickles? Or rather, weird? Gavi should have explained this if it is good or not.

"I actually don't want to do this," Gavi closed his eyes with one hand. What happened, he did not understand. Just then, they were already in bed. It was Pedri who took him in an inevitable gentleness—the body fluttering to the back against the sheet. And that, taking turns with rough kisses.

He kiss his eyes. Full of despair, but there is nothing that Gavi really rejects from his indecent treatment. Not a word came out. Just because of him. He can't bear to make Pedri disappointed and stop everything one-sidedly. "Pedri, I... still—"

"Alright, it's okay. Don't worry about anything." Pedri stroked Gavi's cheek, who was shaking so badly, regretfully. Memory of Leonor made Gavi question again the reasons why he could do this. She is always nice to him—and Gavi, has wasted her niceness now. "Just enjoy and be quiet, okay?"

Fingers reached the bottom of his stomach, pressed behind the surface of the pants where the zipper was about to be pulled down. Gavi's breath was irregular at first. His brain and rationality scoff at this. But why didn't he move to fight back? Doesn't Gavi have the power if he want to get rid of this? Pedri, in his undefined smile; there is satisfaction, as well as turmoil in inclusion.

Hands on him then grabbed his manhood, made Gavi feel naked. Not covered anymore. Pedri disarms his shirt, showing a broad chest and small nipples that played. Tense. Hard. Gavi sucked his lips, trying not to let a single groan escape or say something that would make Pedri feel satisfied.

"Ughhh... akkhhh... this isn't right, Pedri—"

"Have you ever done this with your girlfriend before?"

Gavi shaking his head weakly. This is new pleasure to Gavi. Gavi never touch or be touched like this before. He didn't have many desire to do that. Not when he has football as his first lover.

It was only a matter of time before Pedri put his next move. Gavi felt something warm grabbing his cock.

Pedri kiss him while his hand was grabbing and squeeze Gavi's cock until it was fully hard, through and patient. How did he play it in an effort to indulge him—no part of his cock that hasn't played with Pedri.

Lip crashed, suction and occasional biting. Pedri breath tickled his nose. Gavi grabbed his friend's black hair.

"Pedri... ughh—"

Pedri's thumb that closed his urethral access made Gavi flinch. Pedri's other hand—which was free, touched briefly the bottom of his cock, before moving to his anal, fingered it. He push in just a little, a finger. The sensation isn't sore, it's awkward. The most embarrassing thing here was Gavi's expression, which became so messy because of it.

His voice was hoarse. Gavi had cried, although the service wasn't anything bad at all.

"Pedri... you have to stop, aa-ahhhh..." Gavi pulled Pedri's hair, until the knot came loose; hinting that he couldn't hold back his climax. Gavi groaned while Pedri didn't let go. "I want to come—ahh ...."

"You couldn't yet," Pedri gripped the penis tightly, blocking the sudden exit. Gavi convulsed. The edges of his eyes watered. Sick. "I don't want you to come out right away."

No sperm will be allowed to escape, until Pedri can enjoy the bouncing Gavi. Calling his name even more melodiously, or moving his hips asking for more is like giving up pride. Gavi rolled his eyes. After the mouth, his friend's hand movement was touching him down there more intensely.

"AKH!?"

"Hold on, gav. Don't come out right away, OK?"

If that order was accompanied by a hand movement that also stopped penetrating him, Gavi thought it made sense and he could comply. However, Pedri too enjoys this domination gameplay. Forcing his fingers that somehow had increased by three into his friend's hole.

So weird. His rectum is not clamped because Gavi is not used to receiving foreign objects. Pedri poked and searched for his prostate deep inside—and his long fingers successfully reached that point well.

Gavi's legs moved uncomfortably. Especially apart from Pedri still pumping his penis while covering the tip of his genitals, he also bumped into Gavi's prostate many times. Twisting and other movements. The only thing that escapes Gavi's penis is the precum. But Gavi manhood was so hard to the point of death. Saliva spilled from the side of his lips. Gavi failed to maintain control in enjoying worldly pleasures.

"Pedrif... akkhhh mmmnn! I beg you! I want to come... aaaahhhh this is painful, Pedriff... let go—" The only resistance he did was trying to pull Pedri's hand away. Let it out.

"You can't take it anymore, can you?"

"Hahh—no need to play around... ughh aahhh nhhg!"

Pedri laughed happily. One of the strongest thrusts he could give to the man in there, along with his hands releasing their grip and blocking the hole. What slid down his shaft was thick sperm; as a result of being held back a lot—wetting the whole stomach and some of it sprayed on the bed. His breath is rising and falling. Gavi's gaze was glazed and sad. The profuse sweat clarifies the evidence that someone who is skilled at football also has capable finger skills.

Gavi then turned his position to lie on his side. Avoid direct contact with Pedri and hide his genitals by pressing his legs together. It feels crazy . Gavi's whole rationality is tarnished. He didn't expect Leonor to know this, but what if the thing he was afraid of inevitably came and made Gavi have to accept all the consequences—

He is the cruelest.

Pedri hugged his friend from behind, not hiding at all that he was also having an erection. Charming Gavi. Gavi which unfortunately is not his. Not yet looking like he wants to end the session, Pedri sniffs Gavi's neck, which immediately shaking. Giving a kiss, a touch full of affection—his forehead frowned. Ah, how he wanted to make Gavi scream, again and again.

"That's enough..." Gavi turned his head slightly pushing Pedri's face, whose lips almost touched his. Not anymore with kisses . Gavi still thinks it's too intimate between friends. Pedri, who was still wearing his pants, rubbed his crotch on Gavi's sideways buttocks. Rejection that come made Pedri only able to kiss the neck, and grabbed his friend cock again.

The atmosphere is hot again. Of course it was because Pedri, who was fondling his stomach and chest, returned to massaging his penis again. Gavi was still weak. He didn't care whether Pedri was still hard, because he just wanted to rest and close his eyes. Forgetting this the next day, so that there is no gap in feelings between the two of them.

"Pedri... stop, I just came out—ahhh"

"Mnnh, I just intend to finish the rest, really."

"You're crazy—hheghhh!"

That thrill after that don't stop. The friction between them is accompanied by Pedri's moving hips, as well as his hands that don't stop giving massages. The barrier was just in the form of pants without any contact between the skin—but that thing felt so hard and hot in hiss ass. Gavi bit his lower lip. Very irregular in breathing and need more oxygen around.

It's cramped and weird. At this rate, would he climax again? Twice while Pedri hasn't experienced any release yet? When Gavi thought he was having his next ejaculation, another thing that actually came out of his penis was an unexpected clear liquid. Gavi opened his eyes wide. The liquid kept flowing, overflowing aa lots and accompanied by Gavi's whole body shaking. Stimulation from Pedri who deliberately plays with him—and for Gavi, it all feels embarrassing.

"Pedri... damn—" Gavi was in shock; covering her face in embarrassment, grinding his teeth. If one ask, Gavi wants to beat up Pedri right now. But he can't. The feeling that dominated him at this time was only filled with fatigue. Gavi was too weak to follow up his want. Pedri turned Gavi by pulling his hand, making his head face the young man's niche. Smell the aroma even better.

"Sleep if you want. Let me finish the rest myself..."

"Ughhh..." Gavi could feel Pedri opening his pants, tucking his manhood that was standing between Gavi's thighs. Without penetration ? "I don't want to do this anymore-"

"Oh yes?" Pedri looked up, holding him tighter; sighs that came out in tune with the hopeful wails that came out. "This is nothing compared to real sex. I'm just helping you out, nothing more."

"Ughh... just 'help' but you are hard yourself?"

"What can I do about that one," Pedri showed his teeth in an annoying smile. A slight jolt made Gavi grab Pedri's shoulders, squeeze his legs closer, then wrap his arms around his neck. "I just borrow your thighs for a moment—"

Pedri loves him. Love him so much. Unfortunately that statement will never be delivered and later they will forget about this. But, who cares? As long as Gavi is by his side; even though the person concerned himself never expect all of this happened; Pedri will still love it.

Because this one time he has everything that he want.

i'd love to hear any behind the scenes you have on 'say it's here where our pieces fall in place' bc i read it and loved it and i want to know about it 💜

Welp, I've been thinking about this since you sent it and I feel I won't do it justice! I feel like I could say a lot if I went chapter by chapter, but many tabs of unread fics stare back at me. I'll skim and try to say something, though.

Some commentary on say it's here where our pieces fall in place under the cut! I am sick and rambly. And lbr I can never shut up anyway, but this might be too incoherent even for me. (Original ask post here)

It was sort of an unofficial NaNoWriMo project, in that I set myself a goal to tackle “longer fics” or ideas I wanted to cover but hadn't. From my notes, I had this idea to write a ficlet per year because I always enjoy this kind of story, and I know I'd tried to approach different ones in the past. I started writing in late October/finished in Nov 2021. (The other fic I started was never finished, even if dammit, it hits.) I posted it in January, so it wasn't that bad, considering I'll often take months.

It's maybe important to note that I had only finished writing “The Monster (affectionate)” (aka the 148k-ish word IM AU) in early September and I felt a bit burned out after spending five months writing that (would’ve been less but the struggle was real for the last third of the story. Oddly reminiscing of you-know-what story these days). This arbitrary deadline helped me get back into writing. Granted, I wrote a couple of fics in those five months, but I wanted to try another multichapter.

Anyway. I picked some random, perhaps not obvious choices for the vignettes. It was partly to avoid writing something I might have potentially covered at one point, and also a challenge. Some are also strange (the dream!), but I kinda loved it? (Fun fact: the fic references the Sherry-Netherland, whose exterior is the establishing shot in Internal Displacement. I swear there is some thought put into my writing.) And as the A/N I wrote to myself, I definitely wrote and rewrote bits and pieces of this on my way to and from therapy, haha.

Let me find a fun fact about each of the chapters, if I can think of any.

1998: actually repurposed some campaign fic idea I distinctly remember writing in spring 2018, while I was still in uni. It also has GLOVES. I live for that.

1999: I like the idea of exploring Danny and Abbey's relationship! They presumably have a good one and yet, I don't think we ever see them interact. (And god. Danny's recent, pre-campaign breakup is a recurring theme in my campaign stories too, loool.)

2000: Danny and Josh are an underrated friendship, and I like the references to Rosslyn. There was so much in those months in Midterms that we didn't see, and I like thinking Danny visited his friend.

We also got two back-to-back chapters focused on Danny - I remember trying to make it even, so that the focus was more or less evenly split.

2001: the Manchester fuckup! And it's one of the dream chapters! There were two of them? (We're 3 out of 4 in which I was surprised by the focus, but now I kinda want to re-read it all properly?) I'll say that I can see some vague, unconscious inspo from Freefall by KadeeFalls in this chapter (esp since I was just talking to you about it)... But I'm mostly obsessed with the magical realism (there's another term that my foggy brain cannot think of rn) of dreams, and how it can help us clear our heads.

2002: I remembered this was set after Simon! I know it's probably an odd, controversial choice but they both tried to move on (at least, we know CJ did), and it felt disingenuous not to include it. There are moments when she almost admits to her previous (?) feelings for Danny, but stops.

As with most thus far, there were fluffier and probably better choices for 2002 (Christmas!!), but... My brain wanted it to appear like CJ couldn't really bring herself to think about Danny.

2003: Aw, the specialty store is inspired by a franchise over here that had Goldfish (not many flavors) and I took a dramatic license and added it over there. I also added a small flashback because I love thinking Danny doesn't think they're all that but likes them. (But will tease CJ about it.) Plus, some more resolution to moving on!

2004: Yeah, the formatting is weird. (This is one I'd have to go back and do a blockquote or something.) Danny winning a Pulitzer for the Shareef stuff is a mostly accepted headcanon. CJ seeing his picture on the paper and having feels is just something I love, especially if he mentions someone else. (Look. I'm all for letting him pine, but he deserves to move on and fail too.) Plus Josh teasing her!

2005: The Sherry-Netherland! fwiw, I'm sure I had finally figured out this was the place and decided it would be so cheeky to add it here. I'm so sMaRt. Flowers when she gets promoted! And my spin (in this story) of CJ vaguely shunning him. This is the angst before the fluff.

2006: I remembered this one was a dream at some restaurant! (Again the formatting is not great, but I didn't want to tip my obvious hand.) The same way I think CJ's dream in 2001 was about her wondering how Danny would have reacted, this is about Danny realizing he needs to reach out to her... But with the added family ~tale~. Def inspired by that lyric in "Sad Beautiful Tragic."

2007: I feel like having it at some random dinner with Josh and Donna was an odd choice, but I loved the idea of a double date! The scarf scene is just so! And the chaos siblings energy is great. It was a reprieve from the angst.

Meeting at LAX was right there! I had written a story or two trying to do it justice, so I'm guessing that's why it's not. And fwiw the airport story I wrote shortly after that is the one being posted ~soon~. (A rewritten, slightly expanded version.)

2008: Pregnancy mood swings! It hurt to make them fight, but it's so fluffy otherwise. From what I remember, it has various references to things that happen in the story (particularly from the first two chapters) but it still manages to close it rather nicely, showing how strong their marriage is. I hope.

Okay. This has gotten way too long and it's probably useless.

I've always said I could have written another 11 chapters using different scenes, because there are just so many, even outside the obvious ones... Though I feel I wouldn't be able to recapture the magic.

I do definitely want to reread this for real. As with many fics, it's one of those I used to reread often before posting it (especially the last quarter/third) and then just ignored after. See some other recent examples, such as memoir fic, Portland fic.

Thank you for asking, Ally! God, I used to be a good writer. What happened?!??!

#fanfic director's cut #ask games #onekisstotakewithme #asks #it's taken me an hour or so to write it alskdjasdasd

note : since it’s my birthday today .. take some giyuu tomioka x reader smut for the reader’s birthday! lowercase intended <3 also this is my first smut so i am apologizing in advance for anything i do wrong-

dominant! y/n x submissive! giyuu tomioka | dominant! giyuu tomioka x submissive! y/n | bondage | breeding kink?

giyuu tomioka was supposed to come back from a mission today. however, he had yet to even be close to arriving it seemed. the day was almost over, and as you held your head in your hands you seemed quite disappointed. despite having an urge to go find the water hashira yourself, you decided against it because it seemed utterly pointless now.

you weren’t particularly surprised, though. why were you so disappointed anyways to begin with? right..today was your birthday. and still, your husband wasn’t here. sure, he was a demon slayer and a hashira and there was always the chance of getting caught up in something. but as you looked outside of the window with your head still rested in your hands you couldn’t help but think something had happened to him.

until a sudden click of the door being unlocked caught your attention. you immediately lifted your head and turned around immediately to see giyuu tomioka himself in the doorway. once he had shut the door behind him, he finally looked toward you.

“y/n?” he questioned. “goodness, i’m so sorry..i got caught up in something and-” he rambled, trying to explain what had happened, but you simply shushed him.

“giyuu, it’s okay. i know you’ve got work, alright? you’re a hashira after all.”

“so are you. i still feel guilty regardless..i made you wait on your birthday, y/n! that’s not what a good husband would do. especially because the day is almost over,” giyuu added, clenching his fists in anger, mostly anger directly at himself for not being there whatsoever today.

“you can make it up to me..i know how you can,” y/n smiled softly. giyuu immediately perked up.

“hm? what would you like to do? i’ll do anything to make it up to you.” giyuu promised quietly.

┆ ° ♡ • ➵ ✩ ◛ °

that’s how giyuu ended up here. his hands tied behind his back as he stared up at you bouncing on his dick, riding him while grunts and groans would escape from your parted lips due to you being the more vocal whenever you two did absolutely anything intimate.

“y/n..” your name slipped past giyuu’s lips and you looked down to him, raising an eyebrow in mock curiosity.

“yes, giyuu?” you inquired as you continued to thrust down into him.

“ugh..’m close.” he mumbled out, eyes fluttering closed.

“you are? go ahead and cum then, why don’t you?” y/n chuckled, cupping his cheek with a hand. “go on.”

giyuu’s breath suddenly got heavier, and when you trust down into him one more time he immediately came. you sat yourself down onto him to make sure his cum most definitely entered you.

giyuu peeled his eyes open. “untie me.” he huffed. you shrugged nonchalantly in response, nodding your head in agreement before untying your lover. he immediately pinned you down, and you squealed in surprise.

“giyuu?!” you questioned, looking up at him this time.

“you didn’t cum..so i suppose i’ll be the one to make you do so.” not uttering another word, before you could answer him he immediately thrusted into you. you began moaning, tangling your fingers in his black hair. the water hashira’s expression was unreadable, and yet he would moan from time to time.

“you want a baby?” he suddenly asked you. you blinked at him in surprise. “eh?!” whether having a child meant adoption or him simply fucking one into you, he left that up for you to decide. although, you nodded to him.

“yes..” you agreed quietly. he simply nodded back at you before thrusting harder, and that set you off to clench around him, almost completely milking his cock of his cum.

you wanted his cum. you needed his cum. you needed him-

your thoughts were incoherent as you clenched around him, allowing both you and him to cum once again.

he pulled out of you quickly, and immediately left to go get a towel to clean up without a word. you smiled to yourself.

“what a wonderful birthday gift this was,” you mumbled to yourself with a quiet chuckle.

Do you have any particular thoughts about the jiang siblings trio and their dynamics?

Oh my goodness do I EVER. Well, when you say 'particular thoughts' I hope you weren't expecting anything resembling like… well-organized, properly structured thoughts, because my brain is mostly mush and there's not much of that around here. But boy do I ever have a LOT of very strong feelings about them that I am bad at articulating but I'm going to let them splorch out in an incoherent jumble now!!!

What I love about these three is how much they love each other… and how much that not only doesn't prevent their tragedy, it fuels it. Love is the kindling and the kerosene on that fire. It's intense, as destructive as it is beautiful in equal measure. Too close and too far at the same time, a double-edged sword that shreds them all to bits again and again, hurting themselves and each other, and all three of them end up doing something like dying for it at some point.

All of their lives would've been so much easier if they didn't care so damn much. But they hold on anyway.

Their relationships end up as the background that casts their strengths and flaws in stark relief in a way that's just so deliciously compelling to me!

From the beginning, there's always this constant undercurrent of something fraught and ambiguous between them. They're always scrambling to pull each other close while they're being pulled farther and farther apart. First by gossip and rumors and the terrible relationship between Madam Yu and Jiang Fengmian, then later by their own priorities and duties and obligations.

Their relationships are so difficult to define because it's equally important the ways they aren't siblings as the way they are. The distance is as painfully palpable at points as the bonds they share. That's what makes it so interesting and heartbreaking for me. It's easier to cast Jiang Yanli as the older sister who unquestioningly views Wei Wuxian as her little brother. But I think when it comes to Jiang Cheng it's a lot more complicated.

Between the two of them there's always this lingering question of What am I to you? A friend, a loyal right-hand man, a brother, a half of the twin prides, a hated enemy? Feral devotion or bitter resentment? Something more, something less? Everything or nothing at all?

With the way things play out, with all the things each of them doesn't know, they're both left feeling like the other abandoned them first. From Wei Wuxian believing that Jiang Cheng left him to go back to Lotus Pier alone to retrieve his parent's bodies, to Jiang Cheng's desperate and furious "if you insist on protecting them, I won't be able to protect you!".

But even through all that, there's an unquestioning faith in Wei Wuxian - too much, sometimes. When Wei Wuxian tells him they'll be the Twin Prides of Yunmeng, he believes him. When Wei Wuxian tells him to go up that mountain blindfolded, he does it. When Wei Wuxian tells him that he can control the ghost path, that everything will be fine, he believes him. Right up until he can't. Right up until the moment that faith shatters, when he's got his injured sister bleeding in his arms and Wei Wuxian finally admits he can't control it.

And yet, despite it all - perhaps in spite of himself - Jiang Cheng just can't stop loving him, and he hates it. At the Second Siege, he's prepared to do something that looks an awful lot like sacrificing himself for him again (even if it doesn't actually end up happening), and again at Guanyin Temple he didn't hesitate to take a sword through the chest for him (and ugh, Lan Wangji), even if wasn't actually necessary and therefore mostly embarrassing. But hey, it's the thought that counts, right?

Anyway I might add more thoughts later because truly there is just SO MUCH and I didn't even scratch the surface with Yanli even a little bit, and I got through that whole thing without even really digging into the golden core situation either, or the way the situation with the Jiang parents affected them all… and so really this isn't even the preamble of how many feelings I have about these three! (Thanks for the ask btw!)

#thinking too much about jiang cheng yet again #and jiang yanli and wei wuxian too #it ended up being mostly about jiang cheng's feelings though haha shocker

Abandoned Loki Theories

My best friend and I tend to watch the same media, and Loki was no different. However, we no longer live in the same place, we have different schedules, and I am a much bigger Loki fan than she is (so I was much more likely to turn on the new episode as soon as I got home from work, no matter what). But since I want to remember everything I want to talk to her about after we both watch the episode, I have taken to making notes in my phone while watching. I usually condensed these notes into something more coherent before we talked, but I saved the original notes. I recently reread these incoherent, mostly caps-locked reactions, and compiled several ideas I had while watching episodes that I've since abandoned.

"Wait, is she a Timekeeper?" So this is a direct quote from one of my reactions, and I don't remember if I was referring to Renslayer or Sylvie, but I'm pretty sure it was one or the other. Obviously, since Renslayer didn't know she was a variant and the Timekeepers turned out to be fake anyway, I doubt either one is true.

C-20 isn't dead: Man, I hope this is still true; she and Sylvie had some great fake chemistry. I was once a spn fan (and my brain sometimes thinks I still am), and I refuse to accept death in shows if I don't see the body. But sadly I think if she was still alive she'd have shown up by now.

TVA planted memories of Sylvie's arrest as a child; she's really from post-Infinity War: So this was in part when I thought Sylvie was genderfluid like Loki, rather than a transwoman (as in consistently one gender), so the timeline as we know it was the same both events and gender-wise, and then at some point after faking their death, their gender shifted. Either Sylvie changed her name as an alias or as a fem name (or a name that better fits her just in her opinion; she can be Sylvie even if she's having a masc or nb day). But while I think it's possible for the TVA to have altered her memories (it's explicitly been stated that they can do it, after all), I think it's too involved for a side plot. There's too much else going on. Plus I think she's a transwoman not genderfluid.

Lamentis nexus event was a paradox; there can't be two variants together: I refuse to believe the nexus event was Sylvie and Loki falling in love (though that'd be a little paradoxical as well). I think the nexus event involves both of them, and I don't think it's for the reason Mobius thinks it is. But they were in the same place the entire episode, and the TVA didn't find them until right before they bit it, so I don't think it was just them together that caused it. I don't think it was love, at least not romantic. Loki doesn't even seem to consider this a possibility until Mobius suggested it. My new thought is this: either the catalyst is they both make the decision to trust each other (which is not something a Loki does often), or this is the moment Loki looks at Sylvie and for the first time sees the true scope of his own potential, stretching bright and beautiful and endless within this fearless, resilient version of him. This is a very subtle recreation of that one panel from I don't know which comic of a bunch of Lokis standing around and then they start whispering into each other's ears, "You can escape."

(I do not know if this is a legit panel or an edit, I'm sorry.)

Various people being Loki variants-- Renslayer, Kang, etc.: This one makes sense for why I abandoned it. Both have variants (in Kang's case, at least, canonically many) of themselves that we've already seen.

Classic Loki is Old Loki from AoA: His character design, his age, the fact that Old Loki canonically messes with the timeline, too, it made sense before hearing his backstory. And listen, seeing Kid Loki and Old Loki at the very end of the episode? I spent an entire week going feral with AoA thoughts. But the backstory doesn't match up.

What did you think of five’s arc this season?

Well, the fact that I read it less as an 'arc' and more like a 'jumbled mess of half-formed and underdeveloped contradictory ideas that never really came together into something coherent and didn't pay off in the least' should tell you everything, but mostly, I thought it was just frustrating. I'll need a rewatch or two to really have a fully-formed opinion, but here are some incoherent, thrown-together thoughts until further notice.

I love everything they did with him and Lila. I loved their relationship last season and I loved it this time around. They are genuinely the reluctant friends they both deserve, and I have many thoughts about the fact that she is the only person in three seasons that he accepts physical affection from and reaches out for. They're very good together. As he is with Klaus, I liked their roadtrip and their dynamic all season, with Five opening up to him more and Klaus trusting him to have his back, the fact that they found some common ground is lovely, and they were very funny together too.

And then the whole founder dumbassery (on which meta will be incoming soon) happened and everything kind of went to shit? Not the acting, the acting was great as per usual, but his storyline just nose-dived, never recovered and genuinely just stopped making sense to me. Which is new territory, I've usually been quite confident in my understanding of this character, but the writing just became contradictory in such a frustrating way. I hated the thing they did this season where they made Five clever, aware of the things he shouldn't do, and then he did the things anyway with like. literally nothing happened that changed his mind. And it's been a pattern to dumb him down in the season finale, but this was a whole new level. Anything he did just made me frown in confusion, and I hated that. I understand they couldn't let him win and let the world end because that ends your show, but then PLEASE learn how to end his season arcs in a fitting manner @ tua writers I'm begging you. Don't give him all the keys to do the things he wants to be doing and then make him not do that for no reason, it's so fucking frustrating to watch.

And like last season, I am rotating Five and Reginald in my mind. I think they are fascinating together, last episode non-withstanding. Oh and speaking of them and last season, the fact that the writers essentially threw out most of Five's S2 character development, the few subtle things there were in there, is just baffling to me. God, I'm so frustrated, I'll stop here.

Hello Nemi 💞

I hope this ask finds you in a good health!

Before I start screaming about the chapter (whew and i have some very incoherent, illegible thoughts about it) let me thank you.

Thank you for launching this delight of a ghost ship, thank you for writing this story that was so kind and loving and let Tay hurt and let him heal in his own time.

I am so grateful I could be here for every update and although the story still will have more fics written it is technically completed so, I'm glad to be here for the end.

I have told you many times how I love and appreciate how you let Tay heal and become his own person here but what I really love is how by loving Tay you made him love himself too, you gave him all this space of love for him and it can be felt in every scene, how just beloved he is, not only by the characters but also by the writer and idk it just makes me want to hug you very badly.

I appreciate how you handled the theme of first and last loves. Because the fic was mostly about it. About Tay getting over his first love, Kinn getting to be with his first love and Porsche the lucky bastard having two of those.

No but I love how they are presented

Like Porsche with the sweetness of the first loves, of both that intense burning and the comfortable quiet love. He gets the privilege of never knowing how if feels to get over one.

And then Kinn with his first love being Tay (i love that it's not Tawan, like YEAH FUCK HIM EVEN FURTHER), it's that feeling of almost sometimes at the beginning, the kind of love that could have been, the first one, the experience that shaped you and stayed with you, a love that is always sort of there even if both of you move on to another people because there is always a part of you that belongs to that person, a kind of love that you gave a part of your heart to and never took it back

And then Tay with his learning how to move past his first love. The love that shaped him for so long and I cannot just tell you how much I cried at the Time-Tay talk because I'm so proud of Tay for coming along so far. Cycles are so fucking hard to break and I'm glad he broke this one, he deserves it.

So yeah, I laughed, I screamed and I cried to this story and I loved every part of it, thank you for writing it Nemi 💞

Now onto my incoherent thoughts (today we have less because honestly I cannot state how much mind blowing this smut was)

First, all the love for Yok and Yok-Tay interaction was not something i thought i needed but i got anyway and I'm so fucking glad I did because oh my god, give me more please

Also yes YOK DESERVES ALL THE SONS

Second,

NEMI YOU KINKY LITTLE DEMON I LOVE YOU

Just the possessive Kinn, the needy Porsche, the teasing ahhhhhhh

Like I loved the idea of Porsche and Kinn telling Tay what they are up to

Oh also the make-up scene - doing someone's make up can be such a personal and horny thing and we should really embrace it more

Also I loved the mention of every date 🥺

And oh my, when you got Porsche to dirty talk in the car I was like !!!!!!

And then Kinn tying Porsche up and oh my god just Porsche being only able to watch I'm 🥴🤤

Tay getting just all the love poured into him as he deserved was what I absolutely needed

OH MY GOD TAY SANDWICH LIKE THAT IMAGE WILL LIVE WITH ME FOREVER

TAY FUCKING PORSCHE, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god

I just ahhhhh enzisjsjsn

I am so very- just

Not articulate about this chapter but good fucking delicious smut, I loved it, it was emotional and loving and kinky and hot ahhh 💕💞💓

Anyway thank you for writing this chapter!

I hope you have a good day/night Nemi 💞

The fic in question: Last Loves

👉👈🥺You're welcome, but let me assure you, no thanks are needed. I just reaaallly wanted this OT3 to be a thing and to share fun stuff with people, and I'm SO ridiculously gratified that some people hopped on the ship! Besides, every fandom deserves an especially strong OT3.

And yessss, I adore Tay and just wanted to give him some space to come into his own! He's been hurting a lot time, and honestly he needed to get out long ago, and he kept making the choice not to leave. But I didn't want to punish him or Time for their bad choices -- I just want them to grow.

I appreciate how you handled the theme of first and last loves.

Funny thing, but when I was in the middle of writing Last Loves, I came across a post somewhere that ranted that not enough fic writers tackle non-first-love relationships. And I was like... heh. I got this.

And everything you describe about the relationships is SOOO GOOD. I like threesomes that feel whole, complete, and like each relationship stands on its own merit. Thank you for digging into how I decided to present the relationships in Last Loves!

Haha, Yok's non-advice to Tay. 🤣 You know, sometimes the best "advice" is just sympathy/empathy.

And MUAHAHAHAHA, yessss, very much with the kinkiness in chapter 4. 😍 I just wanted to have some fun with it.

As for the makeup scene, that was actually requested by @iffervescent, so you have her to thank for it!

Hehe, I like the idea that with Kinn and Porsche, Tay is going to discover how much he loves the switch life. Because sometimes you want a little of this, and sometimes you want a little of that, right?!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR DETAILED READ-REACT, DOM! ILU

Sooooooo I don't normally post much on here because I am mostly private with my opinions, but... Rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles had me hypnotized for about three months now, and since then, I have consumed every morsel of content I could get on them like a ravenous wolf.

Now one of the things that had most of my attention were the AUs where peepaw Leo comes back to the past with Casey.... like omo, wmas, mnmc, etc. and I've been having thoughts on that myself ... thoughts I need to get out somewhere or my head is going to explode ... so now you will have to deal with that sorry.

Anyway... I am not a writer

I am not a good writer so there won't be any fanfiction for my ... let's call it AU ... because I'm not good at English since I'm from Germany so you will probably only get this giant, incoherent block of text from me and maybe some art (which I'm also not good at) 😐

Sooo here goes ... my idea was kinda 29 year old leonardo, who is still adjusting to a robot arm that he had for about a year and just lost his twin brother two weeks ago, gets sent back into the past by Mikey.

It wasn't some grand bid for peace or freedom from the Krang, it also wasn't a last-ditch effort for salvation at least not yet ... simply said it was selfishness on Mikey's part.

He had just lost his second brother to this war and was still reeling, when the bunker, the resistance had taken over, was attacked.

And Mikey.... well he had enough!

He felt for Leo's ninpo, which was rapidly closing in on him, and made his decision then and there. He refused to lose another brother.

Donatello and he had talked about it often ... the possibilities of time travel, the intricacies, anything and everything that could go wrong, and even who would be a good candidate to go.

Mikey knew it would cost him everything, he also knew Leo would hate himself for not seeing Mikey's struggles and not doing anything about them but it had to be done. He had to do something.

Because he could feel it ... the earth was being drained of all of its resources and even if they won, even if they were lucky enough to beat the Krang... the earth was dying and nobody knew if it would be able to sustain the survivors.

So he started the ritual to open a time gate. He needed to do it before Leonardo arrived at his room because if he let him speak if he let him say even one word he knew he would falter knew he would let himself be persuaded to stop and think about it, and then it would be already too late.

He couldn't let that happen, couldn't let Leonardo be a voice of "reason" or they would lose.

So when Leo stepped into the room trying to get Mikey to move, he was met with the sight of his brother glowing like a supernova and falling apart at the seams.

Then one of Mikey's chains wrapped around him and before he could make even one sound he was flung into the portal that was coming into existence behind Mikey.

The last thing he sees is his little brother disintegrating, disappearing in an explosion of glowing particles. His only thoughts being:

No, please, not again not him I don't want to be alone.

But Mikey was gone and Leo was hurtling through the colorful space of the space-time continuum at increasingly faster speeds.

What Mikey hadn't anticipated though was Leo carrying 6-year-old Casey junior, in a sling made out of his scarf, bound to the front of his plastron.

That little mistake made a really big difference in where and when he was about to land. So curled protectively around little Casey he shot out of the time stream, landing uncomfortably on his back ... somewhere.

After getting some air back into his lungs and making sure Casey was unharmed he started to look around trying to find something to find out where exactly he was and thaaat's the statute of liberty ... so New York okay, cool they had taken over a military bunker somewhere in North Dakota but now he was back in New York which did not make sense since the last time he had seen New York it looked like a warzone and the statue of liberty didn't have a head and everything was covered in pink, gooey krang stuff.

Yet here he was in New York clean and loud and as bustling as ever.

Leo was losing his mind without thinking he went out of the alleyway, he had landed in, to the next best kiosk he could find ignoring the stare and the gasps from the pedestrians around him he grabbed the next best newsletter and stared dumbfounded at the date 6th of September 2008.

Yeah and that's it for now 🤷🏻‍♀️

#rottmnt leo #rottmnt #future leo #i had to wordvomit this out #it was stuck in my head and wouldn't leave me alone #maybe i will write more later #or draw who knows #leo isn't old enough to be a real part of the peepaw brigade yet #Uncle Noel and the Tots
