Thanks for the ask! I’m not sure whether to answer for the Silmarillion or LOTR, so maybe I’ll do both?
The character everyone gets wrong:
For LOTR, I answered this one way here, but there are a lot of other ways to answer it! I also think people get Elladan and Elrohir wrong. This may be a weird hill to die on because they’re small characters in the book, but I HATE how they’re represented in fanon. They’re made into carbon copies of the Harry Potter twins, who I already don’t like (ugh, I hate even mentioning Harry Potter here). I’m a twin myself, and I’m sick of twin characters being shoehorned into the goofy prankster role. It feels like a cheap attempt at comic relief because people don’t know how to write anything else. Especially when it’s just not how Elladan and Elrohir are represented in the book.
For the Silmarillion, I answered this one way here. I think the Weasley twin treatment also gets applied to Amrod and Amras, which is particularly nonsensical because the lives of all the Fëanorians are all extremely dark and tragic (the whole Silmarillion is tragic!). I get that sometimes people want to write happy, funny fanfiction, but can we please let go of the twins-as-wacky-pranksters trope?
Description of the worst take you’ve seen on tumblr:
For LOTR, I answered this another way here. But I wasn’t even thinking of another worst take, which is so bad that I’d erased it from my mind… the idea that the LOTR movies were an improvement on the books. "But nobody thinks this!" you will say. They do, and I’ve seen this take here on tumblr. WE HATES IT! There are good things about the movies (music, sets, acting, costumes, etc.) but literally nothing can come close to the beauty of the books. And besides, the movies deviated from them in many inexcusable ways—it would take to long to even list them all.
For the Silmarillion, one of the worst takes I’ve seen is the idea that Maeglin was really an innocent victim all along who was unfairly slandered by a supposedly biased history. I understand that sometimes it’s interesting to deconstruct the story, but at a certain point you’re just throwing it out the window. I’m not saying you can’t sympathize with him to a degree—he was clearly abused by his father as a child. But then he internalized those lessons—of his father’s possessiveness and violence towards women—and that was how he treated Idril.
I also know there’s a discussion among fans about Maeglin’s race, because earlier drafts described him as swarthy—and it’s certainly problematic for the dark-skinned male character to be the creepy one—but Tolkien’s later drafts described him as pale. So do with that what you will.
Which ships are the most annoying?
I don’t like the prevalence of Thorin/Bilbo. That’s partly because I hate the Hobbit movies, where the pairing mostly comes from, and it’s just not my cup of tea. People should write what they want, of course. I just don’t see the appeal.
For the Silmarillion, Sauron/Celebrimbor. It’s just everywhere, and I’m tired of it. Also, I get that some people are into darker relationships, but a lot of what I’ve seen of the pairing (even though I actively avoid it) is bizarrely romanticized. Like you guys do realize Sauron is evil, right? Even if he literally seduced Celebrimbor, I don’t think he’d be wracked with guilt about anything. People say they like this pairing because it’s dark, but then they turn Sauron into a poor little meow meow full of romantic longing and riddled with guilt because he tortures and kills his lover, and it’s just weird. I don’t think Sauron had romantic feelings for anyone, and I really don’t think he felt bad about torture and murder.
Worst part of fanon:
LOTR: I’m not even sure what LOTR fanon is anymore, probably because I try to ignore it. I guess I don’t like how the movie versions of characters and events have taken over. You know who also gets Weasleyified? Merry and Pippin, and it’s the movies’ fault. It’s not that I don’t enjoy them in the movies to a degree—but some of their best moments in the books were cut out.
The Silmarillion: I don’t even know if I could choose the worst part of fanon. I find Silmarillion fanon particularly frustrating, because in a fanbase where a lot of people don’t know the Silmarillion well, fan interpretations often get passed off as canon. People absorb fanon thinking that it’s canon, and that’s why you get so many posts that say things like, “Wait, I just realized Maglor ISN’T the nice Fëanorian.” (To be clear, I’m not judging people who say this. They’re unlearning fanon, which is good. It’s just a sign that fanon interpretations are taking over too much when you end up with a lot of people having to revise these big misconceptions.)
Ultimately, it’s just frustrating to me that fanon is so prevalent in either the LOTR or the Silmarillion fandom, because the source material is WAY more interesting. I might be swinging a bat at a hornet’s nest by saying all of this—but the asks were meant to be controversial!
You can't understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc):
For both LOTR and the Silmarillion, I don’t understand why people think Sauron can mind-read. That’s not a thing, but it’s astonishingly prevalent in fan interpretations. The worst part is, I don’t think people realize that mind-reading Sauron is a fan-invented concept.

Detective Finnegan “Windward” Dauphin… a seasoned and perhaps a bit overconfident private investigator from out of town, Detective Windward has only recently been separated from his long-time partner (personal differences, long story!) and is struggling on his own more than he would like to admit. He has a razor sharp wit and is quick to make judgements, though his intuition isn’t always correct, and in situations where he isn’t, he’s very skilled at saving face and playing his aloof persona. He talks like an old-timey 1950s radio show host.
Mara Eleana Fusilli is a humble clairvoyant who has worked most of her life in a tent by the undersea wharf. Equipped with her unique psychic powers, her sonar abilities are leagues above other dolphins. Where many others would abuse this power for personal gain, Mara doesn’t quite know what to make of it and tries not to let it affect her personal life, preferring to help others with it instead. Because of this, she is a bit lonely and fast to cling to people that show her positive attention. She is prone to acting on impulse and getting into trouble as a result.
Trick Turntable is one half of the ocean’s first train conductor duo. She carries herself with a kind and motherly persona, ready to hear out anyone who may need assistance or god forbid, is lost. She’s very protective of her adoptive brother, Track, and the two are rarely seen apart from one another. The two of them are very interested in locomotives and it was Trick’s idea to begin the ocean’s first public transit system to ensure all whales get to their destinations safely. She is known to be a little playful and curious, too!
Track Turntable is the other half to the iconic narwhal/beluga train conductor duo. Having lost his way from the rest of his birth family as a young calf navigating northern waters during the summer time, he was subsequently found and taken in by Trick’s pod and treated like one of their own. Today he is just as helpful as his sister, though he can be a bit slow on the uptake and forgetful. (Don’t surprise him from behind or you might just get a wack in the face from his tusk!) He is the more technical-minded of the two and a skilled repairman. Growing up in Trick’s family, he picked up their light southern American accents into adulthood.
Stevie Bermuda is a slimy con man with an annoying Trans-Atlantic accent with a grandiose sense of self that has traveled much of the world’s oceans to find new dolphins to assimilate into his fraudulent causes. Everything from pyramid schemes, impersonation, fake business scams, and even cults, it doesn’t seem like anything he tries brings him any sense of personal fulfillment. He doesn’t care for love or friendship, just shallow gratification. He also seems to have an irrational fear of children and teenagers… They might just be his downfall someday!
Kanpacho is a guitar playing cool guy that has found his home by the wharf where he met Mara. He makes most of his money by playing nice songs for visiting dolphins and cargo workers alike. He’s well liked by everyone and has a Brazilian accent.
Ben Sleepy is a dolphin that seems to get a kick out of sleeping in the most inconvenient of places. When he’s not sleep-swimming or finding an (un)comfortable spot to snuggle up in, he can be found at buffets completely decimating the shrimp bar.
Casper Cantor is a businessman by day and prankster by night. He is the CEO of the business that runs the undersea wharf, dealing with most of the transport and cargo shipments going in and out of the town. He is an avid fanatic of clowns and in his free time will don his jester persona and entertain others with his magic tricks. The only person that knows his secret is his daughter, Melody, of whom he is very supportive of her creative endeavors. Maybe he’s where she gets her imagination from?
Melody Cantor is a young hypochondriac dolphin and elementary school student with an irrational fear of getting wet. She can easily be identified in a crowd with her umbrella she takes with her everywhere and her yellow raincoat. She is a talented artist and poet.
Cat is a zoologist with a sprawling collection of specimens from all seven seas. She is eager to educate all who are willing to listen to her ramble about all the different species of sea slugs.
Skip is a studious young foreign exchange student. Both of his parents are busy back home being surgeons and expect great things from him, which can sometimes be stressful on an impressionable little sea lion. This doesn’t dampen his spirit though, and his best friend Melody does a great job of bringing out his creative side. He is sometimes teased by his classmates for being different, and whenever he feels homesick Trick and Track will act as his parents away from home.
Henry XVIII is the 18th in a long line of Turntable family pets and mascot for Trick and Track’s Arctic Express. He's a great listener, even if he is quite old for a nautilus.
James Circuits is the local record shop owner, right next door to Mara’s fortune telling tent! He can be a little spacey and hangs around questionable folks but he means well... His music knowledge is all encompassing, but his favorite is classic R&B.
Pollux Cantor, like his brother Casper, is a businessman, albeit a much less successful one that can’t ever catch a break. He’s bent on moving up in Stevie’s company and doesn’t seem to realize he is being taken advantage of. He's hopelessly addicted to caffeine and remoras frequently attach themselves to him and feed on the excess.
Madame Roachè is a prideful socialite on the cutting edge of all fashion trends that hit the Arctic landscape.

I'm getting 'em all this time, dang it!
I love that John plays along with the Consorts' programmed ignorance of him. He's such a good sport.
These guys really love their Important RPG Terms. It's sort of like a species-wide typing quirk.
SALAMANDER: Our great elder, the magnificent Secret Wizard was one day graced with the First Rag of Souls from the clouds.
SALAMANDER: He donned the oily, humble cloth and assumed the countenance of a simple beggar.
SALAMANDER: But lo, he beheld a great pillar of rock, and on that pillar he beheld an impossibly tall white tower belonging to the fabled Heir of Breath.
SALAMANDER: And so our leader ascended this pillar and this tower, but found no sign of the heir.
SALAMANDER: He did however find the Heir's floating blue servant, and she laundered his robes, and so the Rag of Souls was born anew.
SALAMANDER: Such was his magnanimity, he employed the Heavenly Machina to duplicate this relic and distribute robes to his many followers across the land, so that they too might be beheld with a beholden eye of admiration.
What I'm getting is that Nanna started a salamander cult for the bit.
Talented though he is, John will have a hard time living up to such a prankster's legacy.
Ooh, we're back in the old style - it's like a game-within-a-game!
This thing does an uncomfortable amount of damage, even with John's maxed Gel Viscosity.
Still, at least it doesn't one-shot him like I expected. These Imps aren't quite as scary as I originally thought.
I can even time-freeze it with Fear No Anvil! There's a shocking amount of polish here for a one-panel walkaround.
It's tough, but John's fully capable of taking it down.
Hopefully once he's scaled the god tiers, Imps will go back to being fodder - although we don't know for sure if the god tiers increase your stats. I assume they're distinct from the Echeladder levels in some way, but I can't really speculate.
SALAMANDER: I'm so hungry. Alas, I have not a single boondollar to pop my bubble with.
JOHN: i've got loads of boondollars! here, i will treat you to a nice lunch.
Such a good dude.
Is that some LOHAC contraband I spy?
The Consorts must have opened an interplanetary trade route.
SALAMANDER: Do you hear that? He is still asleep, thank goodness.
SALAMANDER: But when the Windy Thing was kicking up all that fuss, it sounded like he was not happy at all.
SALAMANDER: It makes him absolutely furious when anyone other than him bends The Breeze to his will! It is not pleasant for anybody.
SALAMANDER: Luckily there is only one person who can do that, and he is surely a mythical figure, who only morons believe in.
Now this is interesting. Typheus claims authority over the Breath element, and can't abide anyone else wielding it...
SALAMANDER: Luckily there is only one person who can do that, and he is surely a mythical figure, who only morons believe in.
...which means he's basically calling John out by name.
The Heir is the only person in the Medium even capable of drawing his ire - and thus, the seeds of their inevitable battle have been sown.
SALAMANDER: It's said the Heir will wake the denizen by playing a magical song only he can play, and when he wakes up, the Heir will meet the terrible beast face to face!
SALAMANDER: It is then that he will be offered The Choice. The nature of the Heir's triumph depends on what he chooses!
How much choice do you really have, when your future's set in stone? Choose anything that hasn't been pre-approved, and you're sent careening into an offshoot timeline, before being dissolved into nonexistence.
Maybe this proper-noun Choice is a real choice, then - a decision that can violate fate, but won't doom the timeline. The implications could be staggering.
SALAMANDER: Then the Heir will lead us all to a beautiful place, with the most bristling insect furrows and the richest, dampest mushroom soil you could hope to farm.
Either way, John's Choice seems to involve transporting the Consorts somewhere. This salamander is describing a heaven-like location, so I hope the twist isn't that John will destroy LOWAS, 'transporting' its residents to the afterlife :/

Friends at last
AN: We all know James and Lily got together on their 7th year but I feel like they would have became friends before that and in my head James would have mature a lot during the summer before their 6th year when Sirius went to live with the Potters because that was when the reality of the imminent war against Voldemort finally hit him hard. So here is how I think Lily and James finally became friends. (I might continue this.)
Lily`s 6th year at Hogwarts have been quite different from the last five. She used to spend a lot of her free time in the library or on the grounds with Severus but now that she wasn’t friends with him anymore she started to hang out in the Gryffindor common room and was constantly with her house friends. She was always been especially close to Marlene McKinnon and Dorcas Meadowes, but now she was also spending more time with Alice Westenberg and Mary Longbottom too. Lily was always fond of the two others girls who shared their dorm and was happy to have became closer to them.
The only down side to it was that spending more time with them in common room meant to spend more time with the boys from Gryffindor`s 6th year. After all they were all good friend. Marlene and Dorcas seem to always hang out with the four pranksters. But Lily soon found out that being around them wasn’t as bad as she tought.
She never minded being around Remus, she has always considered him a friend and the most mature one in the group. Since they both became prefects, the year before, they grown even closer and were now really good friends. So she was glad to spend more time with him and at first she thought that whenever the boys were around she`d just talk to Remus and ignored the rest of them, but soon she realize that would not be possible and that it wasn’t exactly a bad thing.
She also never minded Peter much, he was a shy boy that laughed and admired everything the others boys did, he had always been nice to her, and very soon she found herself helping Peter with his charms homework and actually laughing with him about something Sirius had said.
What really surprised when she started liking Sirius. At first she really tried to keep a safe distance but since she was spending more time with Remus that automatically meant more time around Sirius, who she always tought that he was James` shadow when in fact he never seemed to live Remus by himself.
For her, James and Sirius has always been worse than the other two, she knew they were the minds behind the pranks and the adventures of rule breaking. She also hated the fact that they were excellent students, even tho they were constantly disturbing classes with their funny remarks and pratical jokes, somehow everyone seemed admired them, even the teachers loved them, no matter how many detentions they got, James and Sirius had the entire school at their feet. But soon she realized they weren’t that bad. She didn’t know if it was because she never spent that much time around them or if something had changed but she found herself laughing at their jokes and not minding at all being around them. Lily did not loved Sirius and James as much as the rest of the school, but now she finally understood what their appeal was and why such nice boys like Remus and Peter were friends with them.
She came to that realization on a late Wednesday night in the end of September, all the sixth years were siting close together in the common room doing their large amount of homework in silence, when Remus suddenly closed his heavy book of Advanced Transfiguration and said “I give up” under his breath, Sirius immediately started saying it was the end of the times in a loud voice like he was a minister on a Sunday service, James followed suit and got on his knees screaming “hallelujah”, soon everyone was laughing, even a couple of seventh years who were sitting in the other end of the room. But instead of continuing the joke like Lily thought he would, James stood up to sit beside Remus to help him out with his late essay for Mcgonagall, since he had lost a couple of important classes that week because he was “sick”.
That was something that Lily started noticing: the way Sirius, James and Peter treated Remus, and it made her change the way she saw the boys. She knew about Remus secret, she knew why he was always getting sick, missing classes sometimes and almost sleep walking for a couple of days after a full moon. She had never openly talked about it with him but she had a hunch that he knew she knew since she was constantly covering for him on prefects duties. She had notice in the pasts years how the boys would visit him in the hospital wing and get his homework for him but she never really notice how very protective they were of Remus, how whenever he was looking a bit miserable they would find a way to make him laugh, how Sirius and Peter was always handing him chocolate and how he seemed to accept it without even noticing. How Sirius, just the day before, when Remus came back from the hospital wing, let him fall asleep on his shoulder, and how James, sitting on the other side of the sleeping boy, took his hand to Remus’ forehead to measure his temperature and took of his robe to cover his sleeping friend with it. In all fairness she had also seen them piling up objects on top of a sleeping Remus a couple of time, but they seem to had a understanding on when not to do it.
Lily started noticing little things like that as if to justify to herself why she didn’t mind being around them anymore. So she notice the little things, she notice when James during the first week of term helped a group of first years to find their way to class (although Lily only payed attention in case James was giving them a wrong direction as a joke), she saw when James stopped two second years from dueling in the middle of the entrance hall, she saw when Severus called Remus a bad name and was surprised to see James telling them to ignore him only to see Sirius losing his patience and hexing Snape and finally she notice how James hasn’t ask her out once that year. He had of course flirted with her, but after seeing him winking and saying “thank you, gorgeous” to Alice as she passed him the mashed potatoes and later in class seeing him blowing a kiss at Mcgonagall after she congratulated him on his perfect transfiguration of a rock into a pillow, she realized that was how he talked with every women. Actually flirting with Mcgonagall seemed to be a inner competition between him and Sirius, although Black had more practice since he always flirted with all the other teachers trying to come out of detentions (something that, according to James, made him lost point with Mcgonagall for cheating on her). So after a few weeks Lily started to relax around them just enough to stop hating him and Sirius, and eve laugh a bit of their jokes.
In mid October Lily finally gave in and fully admitted to herself that she actually liked Sirius. They started talking a lot about muggle music, after he saw her with a t-shirt from a band he liked, then they started talking muggle books, movies and Lily was very surprised to see that he knew so much about the muggle world. Eventually their conversations grew into more deep meaningful stuff. They would talk about politics, Voldemort and the imminent war, James and Remus were also very passionate and opinionated about that and had similar views to Lily’s (she also notice they were not afraid to say Voldermort`s name), but Sirius was by far the most opinionated about the subject and seemed ready to fight anyone who said anything remotely unpleasant about muggle borns.
After some time they started talking about families and shared their complicated relationship with their siblings, Lily was a bit surprised to found out that Sirius had left his parents house, and was know living with the Potters, because of his family sympathy toward Voldemort. She knew Sirius was quite different from the rest of his pure blood family but never imagined he would go to such lengths. That made her admire him a bit and she was now happy to call Sirius Black her friend.
James was the last one she warm up to. She would talk to him, laugh of a few of his jokes and he had even helped her with a particular hard transfiguration homework but she would still keep some distance in a way to guarantee that he wouldn’t ask her out. Finally in the end of November, on a full moon, something happened that made it impossible for them not to be friends. Lily was laying in the sofa close to the fire reading a novel all by herself very late at night, almost early morning, on a Friday when the Fat Lady portrait opened up and James being support by Peter stumbled over the hole with his left arm bleeding and his shirt cut open from his shoulder blades to the wrist. Lily stood up immediately and asked:
“Oh my God!! What happened??”
The two boys did not notice she was there and were surprised to see someone awake in the communal room at that time of night.
“Err” Peter looked at James who lost the little bit of color he still had on his face.
“Sleepwalking” said James “I was sleep walking and Peter came to recue me.”
“Exactly” confirmed Peter “woke up for a bit of water and saw James crossing the grounds thru my window so-” but he looked at James and the face his friend was giving him made him stop talking.
“What happens to you arm?” Asked Lily
“I got hurt.”
“I can see that.” She said rising her eyebrows. “How?”
James seemed to be having a hard time finding the right words. So he surprised himself when he told her the truth.
“The Whomping Willow. Got to close to it and never saw it coming.”
“You should go to the hospital wing. Madam Pomfrey will sort you out in a second” the girl suggested.
“No” the two boys said together a bit to fast.
“I can’t.” said Potter “I don’t want to lose anymore point or get another detention. Please don`t give us in. It’s just a small cut I’ll sort it out myself.” He looked at her with pleasing eyes.
“Have you looked at your arm? It looks pretty bad. You need more than a band aid.” She said still debating with she should insist on taking him to the hospital wing.
“I’ll be fine. Just don’t say anything. Please, Evans?”
“I won’t. I promise.” Lily wasn’t sure why she agreed to that so fast and suddenly remembered what day of the month it was and regretted making that promise. “Are you sure you don’t want to go to Madam Pomfrey? You don’t want that getting infected.”
“I’ll be fine.” Said James and they started walking towards the stairs to their dorm but Lily suddenly moved to get in the way.
“Wait a second. I have something that might help. Sit down and wait here.” she ran up stairs to get her medicinal potions kit thinking it was a really great idea to do the extra medicinal potions class with Madam Pomfrey like Professor Slughorn had suggested. When she came down James was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed and Peter beside him looking at his bleeding arm. She sat in front of them on the coffee table.
“Let me had a look. I’m no healer but I happen to know how to bread Madam Pomfrey healing potion. It will help with the pain, it will heal faster and avoid an infection. That’s the best I can do.” She said while examining his arm.
James looked at her like she had grow a second head. He had been avoiding being a prick with Lily like Remus told him and they have been spending time around each other without her wanting to hex his head off, but they were not exactly friends. Actually, James didn’t said anything to anyone but now he was a bit frustrated that Lily seemed to became good friends with everyone but him. So he was a bit surprised that she was so promptly to help him.
“But, with you want me to help we have to find a empty classroom.” she continued pretending not to notice his shock.
Lily and Peter helped him up and the three of them reached a classroom in the end of the hallway, Lily made him sit down on a table and started sorting out the ingredients.
“You can go back to bed Peter.” said James. “Let Remus and Sirius know where I am in case they wake up.” he gave a meaningful look to his friend.
“Yeah. I’ll let them know.”And slowly backed away to the door.
Lily ignored that and continued to prepare the potion without looking at their direction. She knew Remus was not sleeping in the Gryffindor tower tonight.
After Peter closed the door James looked intensely to Lily observing the girl work her way thru the potion. They kept silence for a while, but after some time Lily found his staring a bit too distracting and she finally asked “Lost something, Potter?”
“Sorry.” James looked down with a tiny smile. “I’m just trying to understand why are you helping me.”
She gave him a half smile. “You rather I let you bleed to death? That can be arranged.” She looked at him and without waiting for an answer she said. “Excuse me, I have to clean you wound and I’ll need cut shirt to clean the wound.”
“Oh right. Let me just...” James moved on the table he was sitting and cringing he slowly removed his shirt trying not to touch or move his left arm that much. “I think it’s just better to take it off because I think it got a bit of my neck too.”
He moved to show his back to Lily and she saw there were three gashes, one that went from the base of the back of his neck to the tip of his shoulder, the other close to his elbow and a very deep one on his forearm. For Lily despair she noticed that they looked like animal scratches.
“James” Lily took a deep breath “are you sure this was made by the tree right? That wasn’t an animal or anything like that?”
“What? No, no, it wasn’t an animal.”
“Because if it was an animal you have to tell me. Because with we use the wrong potion it will be worse.” Lily looked right into James eyes trying to pass him the seriousness of the situation.
“I promise you, Evans, it was not an animal.” He looked back at her eyes trying to show her that he was telling the truth. He tought he had memorized every detail of Lily`s face by that point but by looking into her eyes he noticed how intensely green her eyes were.
“Okay.” She turned her attention to the wounds and his arm.
They didn’t say anything for some time. But Lily’s curiosity took the best of her.
“Where were you tonight?” She asked.
“I.. hmm I was sleeping walking… like a said. Woke up with that freaking tree throwing me to the ground.” But she noticed how when he said that he looked down to his lap.
“Fine. You don’t need to tell me the truth. But if you were putting yourself in danger by trying to be a good friend please don’t do that again.”
He looked up at her. They looked at each other for a few seconds and Lily wanting to make sure he was receiving the message completed said: “Imagine how Remus would few if he hurt you.” With that James confirmed his suspicions: Lily knew about Remus.
“You know.” he said, it was not a question.
“I know.” Lily confirmed
“How? When? Does he know you know?”
“We never openly talked about it but I think he knows I know.”
“How? Since When?” Repeated James.
“I had my suspicions since our third year. But I was only sure about it last year when I could no longer ignore the facts.”
“Snape told you?”
“What? No! Severus knows? How?”
“He saw it, long story, but Dumbledore made him promise not to tell anyone.” James said.
“He never said anything to me. That was one of the reasons I never gave my suspicions a second tought, didn’t want to feed Sev’s obsession. But after spending so much time together during prefects duties it was impossible to ignore so I figured I was right and started covering up for him.” Lily explained.
“You don`t mind?” Lily looked confused so he continued “that he’s a...”
“No” Lily cut him off, sounding a bit offended “I like people for their character not for their blood status.”
“I didn’t mean... of course not. I just... I’m sorry I didn’t mean it like that” James looked down a bit ashamed for being so surprise that Lily would be okay with it.
“It’s okay. It’s just... I always liked Remus, he has always been a friend and I’m a muggle born so I don’t really understand where wizards prejudice against werewolves comes from. It’s not like anyone would choose that.” She started to clean his wound. “Let me clean that while we wait for the potion to chill.” She finished cleaning his arm in silence put the dirty cottons aside, turned on her back to lean into the table James was sitting. “So how long have you know?” James hesitated, Lily felt like she had cross over some line but wasn’t sure how. “Sorry you don’t need to answer that.”
“It’s not that.” James said. “It’s just weird to talk about it with anyone outside our bubble.”
“I get it you don’t need to say anything. Look I think the potion it’s fine now, it won’t burn your arm.” Lily said putting her finger on the caldron and started applying the potion on his injured arm, making him flinch a bit.
“We’ve known since our first year. It’s impossible not to notice certain things when you share a dorm. Remus was so relieved when we told him we knew and did not care about it.” He took a deep breath and continued. “We just want to make things easier for him. We are not putting ourselves in danger. We just like to be there when it’s over, give him company until Madam Pomfrey comes to collect him.” He finished and actually felt relieved to have told her the truth. Lily was looking at him like she had never seen his face before. He misunderstood the look. “Please, Evans, don’t tell anyone that. I promise we are not in danger. We just want Remus to see some familiar faces when all is over. Please, Lily, don’t tell anyone.” The despair on the boy face was such that Lily, who had a lot of questions about the logistics of the whole thing nodded and said “Don’t worry. I won’t say a thing. Like I said, I like Remus.” She said with the last part with a smile. “Just promise me the worst that can happen is being attacked by the Whomping Willow”
“I promise” James said but Lily notice he looked down to his lap when he said that.
They sat quiet for a moment, Lily applying the potion carefully on his arm, then James remembered something. “I haven`t thank you.” He said. “Oh… don`t worry about that-“ Lily tried to say but James cut her off. “Thank you, Evans. Truly, I appreciate it more than you know.” He finish and noticed she had gone a lovely shade of pink.
He also figured that, since her was alone with her and that did not happen very often, it was the perfect moment to do something Remus told him to do weeks ago. “Also, I believe I owe you an apologize.” James said making Lily look quite confused.
“What for? May I ask?”
“Well, mainly for being a prick to you. It has been brought to my attention that the way I handled my crush on you wasn`t the most chivalries.” He said with an ironic smile. “In my defense I was stupid and was trying to make you notice me in any way I could. Anyway… I am sorry and I won`t treat like that again.” Lily had stopped working on his arm and was looking at him like he had grown a second head. “What is it? What`s wrong?”He asked when he saw the look on her face.
“Nothing. I… just… Well, I`m impressed.” She said and with a smile on her face she continued. “I mean, James Potter apologizing… Wow… That`s not something you see very often.” Lily gave a small chuckle.
“Oh shut up, Evans.” He said smiling and chuckled along with her.
“No, but seriously, why are you apologizing? What...” She stopped talking not knowing how to ask that in a nice way.
“What made me grow out of my big head?” He continued her question for her, smiling. “Well, mostly, Remus. But I`m not really sure what made me finally listen to him.”
“Remind me of thanking him sometime.” Lily said. “Jokes aside, I noticed you matured a lot since last term, and I don`t mean just the whole harassing me thing.”
“Harassing is a really strong word…” James said timidly.
“You know what I mean. Anyway, you haven`t been bullying anyone just for fun anymore and I swear I saw you telling off a couple of first years for trying dueling each other. In all I`m just really glad that I can be around you without wanting to hex your head off.” She finished.
“I`m very glad about that too.” James said smiling. “And I really am sorry for the harassing thing.”
“No worries, Potter.” Said Lily while wrapping his arm on bandages.
“So… Friends?” He asked with a shy crooked smile.
“Friends.” She confirmed, finishing wrapping his arm and standing a hand to shake his.

Hook and Pan
Harry Hook x Reader
(Y/N) Pan is the daughter of the boy that wanted to never grow up, Peter Pan. In the end, despite all of his efforts to remain a kid forever he ended up being a father. But the idea of such a big responsibility scared him so he left (Y/N) after she was born. But the young (H/C) haired girl visited Neverland in her dreams. Her father would tell her stories about the fairies, mermaids that lived in Neverland and about the gruesome pirate that was his enemy, Captain Hook.
Now, (Y/N) was no longer a little girl. Pan grew up (ironically) and made friends at Auradon.
When four villain kids came to the school she didn't heistate to meet and befriend them. After all she saw them as people she could share her shenanigans with. (Y/N) tried to show her prankster, childish, adventurous self to others but telling Audrey her plans of pranking some students got her suspended for a few days. The VKs laughed at (Y/N)s crazy ideas and suggestions and got along with her swimmingly.
While (Y/N) got along with Mal, Evie, Carlos and Jay, she didn't join in their trips to the Isle. Unfortunately, while it did seem like a fun adventure she decided to watch from afar to see how it was going to turn out.
Now, she wasn't shy or scared. (Y/N) knew how to put up a fight and how to run away in dangerous places full of obstacles. She didn't fear anyone on the island but she didn't find it necessary to join them. It wasn't her problem and she saw it as something they had to settle themselves.
After the barrier has been broken down, any villain kid that wanted it had a chance to a normal life at Auradon. A ton of VKs wanted that so Ben organized them in 4 person groups. Each group had assigned an Auradon Kid to show them around. (Y/N) being an enthusiastic girl was selected to be one of the guides.
'I wonder who I got~' she thought waiting for the limo door to open. Ben told her he choose them specially for her.
First, a beautiful girl with blue hair that she recognized as Uma, came out. (Y/N) didn't do any research, not needed since all Auradon kids knew who she was at this point. She was surprised Uma wasn't assigned to Mal seeing as the two were friends.
After Uma, the son of Gaston followed. Gil wasn't as known but since (Y/N) has spent time with Mal, Evie, Jay and Carlos she heard all about how they teamed up with Uma and her squad. Gil looked enthusiastic, even if he'd already been here.
The last persons to get out were the infamous Harry Hook, a quite gorgeous guy with the most piratey attire you've seen, and seemingly his sister CJ, since the two looked alike, who he was bickering with. These were the kids of her fathers enemy but the moment she saw them, a big grin made its way on her face. (Y/N)s mind was full of ideas warying from befriending them to making their lives miserable through pranks to just being aquantiences with them.
"Welcome to Auradon! The name's (Y/N) Pan and I will be your guide. No need for introductions since I figured out who y'all are~" (Y/N) announced with a smirk and shook their hands.
Uma raised an eyebrow but shook her hand, Gil smiled and said his "Nice to meet you!!", CJ shook her hand with heistation and Harry. . . Harry just returned the smirk.
"So ye know who my father is las?" He asked.
"Yep, and you know who mine is" (Y/N) flashed a grin. "Now onto the tour-"
The tour itself was supposed to be filled with information about the history of the castle but (Y/N) decided to just show them around while making sarcastic remarks and stupid puns that seemed entertaining enough. She got giggles, laughs and smiles from the four. Harry being himself shamelessly flirted to get an embarrassed or flustered reaction out of (Y/N) but what he got back was (Y/N) aCtually playing along and sometimes even responding with her own dumb pick up line, making other crack up at Hooks pink face (he didn't really expect her playin along--)
"Alright, if y'all have got any more questions, feel free to ask me" (Y/N) said at the end.
A couple of sures and nods. While everyone left to their dorms, she felt her arm getting grabbed. Next thing she knew, she was pinned to a wall by Harry.
"hEy calm your thirsty ass and ask me on a date first. I know you want me but I'm not THAT iresistibble" (Y/N) jocked while winking.
And there she goes again, making him a flustered mess. He quickly composed himself
"Pfft yer quite somethin. Can we hang out some time?" Harry asked with a smirk. While he just met her and she was supposedly his enemy he just felt the urge to befriend her.
"Sure thing fishy"
*two months later*
"So you flirt with everyone just to intimidate them? Ugh man I was so hopeful I could be able to see some boy on boy action. Seeing the way you act around Ben I could've sworn you were gay-" (Y/N) rambled, trying to tease/annoy her best friend and crush.
"I ain't gay, give it up lassie" Harry responded looking straight into (Y/N)s (E/C) eyes. "I am pansexual though" he smirked.
"*exaggerated gasp* i knEW YOu were into me!!" (Y/N) smirked.
"I'm not denyin' that" Harry responded jockingly.
For the first time, (Y/N) was seen with a blush that she quickly dismissed and blamed on the sun.
"(Y/N) wer' in a dorm room" Harry said with an amused tone.
"Wait hol' up I meant the heat, not the sun-"
"It's autumn lassie"
"Yeah but it's still warm"
"Whateva' lost girl, I'll let ya have this one. Thou' you look adorable when you're blushin'"
While all of the flirting between them was always jockingly, Harry couldn't help but feel as if there was something more than that. (Y/N) complimented him, helped him when he felt down, stayed with him late at night making dumb jokes and puns,
They shared secrets and used each other as support when things got bad, and yes, friends do that.
But friends don't get lost into each others eyes, don't hold each others hands when they're alone, friends don't hug for whole minutes and friends don't constantly flirt with each other, even if it's jockingly.
Harrys train of thoughts was interrupted by something soft against his lips. He felt his whole face get warmer . . .
Because his was face being covered by a pillow.
"Dude you ok? You kinda spaced out-" (Y/N) began saying.
"I'm fine, don' worry love"
Love. That nickname. Even though (Y/N) didn't show it, it made her feel very flustered but she kept that under her joker facade. The names Harry called her, the way he treated her. . Maybe he saw her as more than a friend too.
Part 2 gunna come out soon

The Daughter (Chapter 3)
Warnings - A small scuffle
“So it’s not just Halloween here? The people here actually are horror movie villians?”
Shinwon held the bag of McDonald’s in his hand, the pair heading to Y/N’s house. Y/N figured he could hang out there, away from anyone who would take the first chance to kill him.
“Yeah, everyone here is from a horror movie. To outsiders, they’re horrible people, and some others, but others are misunderstood and they’d like to just live a normal life,” Y/N gestured to her house, a normal two-story house with a garden in the front, “I live right there. I’d need to ask my dad if it’s okay for you to stay until we figured out where your friends are. Do you know any of their numbers?”
“No, not really,” Shinwon shamefully admitted, “I think that dog or little kid swiped my phone.”
“Sam’s just a little prankster, he’s a really blast to have around during April Fools, lemme tell you,” Y/N opened the mailbox, bills and a letter from Kramer Industries, “these bastards again.”
“Who are they?” Shinwon walked with Y/N up to the porch, watching as Y/N opened the letter in a disgruntled fashion.
“Every week, they sent everyone in town a letter saying they will give each household five grand a piece if we allowed them to build a huge hotel, 13 stories high if we allowed them to treat us like a fucking tourist trap,” Y/N ripped up the letter, feeding it to a venus flytrap donning a collar that said ‘Audrey the III’ on it, “my life, this town and everyone who lives here isn’t something to be gawked at. Can I trust you to stay out here and not run off?”
A zombiefied cat ran out of the house the second Y/N opened the door, Shinwon jumping in horror.
“Ye-yeah, I’ll just stay in this one spot. Maybe explore the front yard, that looks like a nice plant,” Audrey the III burped out paper pieces in Shinwon’s face.
“It’ll be no more than 5 minutes, ok?” Y/N reassured the terrified tall man before shutting the door to her house.
Shinwon stepped off the porch, looking around the yard. Y/N was right, it wasn’t any different than any other house, the main difference being the huge man-eating plant taking a nap. He walked to the side of the house, a clean shot into the kitchen, it looked normal as well, Shinwon took a peek inside when a machete appeared next to his face.
Shinwon screamed out, running to the front yard when he turned around, seeing a familiar hockey mask chasing after him. He trapped over a rock in cliche horror movie fashion and the masked man picked Shinwon up by his shirt.
“You’re that kid from earlier! What the fuck do you think you’re doing here?” Jason Voorhees held Shinwon in one hand, his trademark machete in the other, “Creeping on Y/N, huh?!”
“No, I just met her and I ne-”
Y/N’s voice caught both of their attentions, a bottle of water in her hand, “I know you hate water, Mr. Voorhees, can you put him down?”
“You know this weasily looking boy? I saw him earlier, Cujo was chasing after him, Cujo never chases after people!”
“Mr. Voorhees! Can you put him down please?!”
Shinwon was struggling in the arms of the tall male who had thrown him against the side of the hose.
“But, Y/N, he was lurking arou-”
“That’s rich coming from you,” Y/N raised an eyebrow, Jason putting the terrified idol down on the ground, Shinwon instantly curling into a ball with his eyes widened, “he’s my friend, I told him to walk around the house while I talked to my dad.”
“Your father knows about this?” Jason waving his machete nonchalantly, Shinwon keeping his eyes on the weapon.
“He does now. Shinwon lost his friends and needs help finding them, they have all of the paperwork for the hotel and I offered to let him use the guestroom.”
Shinwon stood up silently, hyperventilating as Jason glared at him.
“He looks like a player,” Jason put his machete under Shinwon’s chin, tilting it up to be eye-to-eye, “what’s your game, little boy?”
“N-no, th-there’s no ga-ga-promise there is no ga-game! It wa-was just a vacation!” Shinwon bumbled out.
“A vacation, huh?” Jason took the machete away from Shinwon’s neck, Y/N hiding a giggle as Shinwon let out the breath he wasn’t even aware he was holding, “I don’t trust tourists around here. Last time you fucke-”
“Mr. Voorhees!” Y/N’s dad stayed in the house, the shadows concealing his identity from Shinwon, “I think it’s time you go home and let my daughter and her friend be. I’ll let you know if there’s any problems.”
Jason grumbled away, “If he hurts you, Y/N, it’s his head.”
“I’m sorry, Shinwon,” Y/N awkwardly apolgizes to the frightened boy before he fell to the lawn, landing on the flowers that Y/N and her father had planted.
“Oh, fuck.”
A tall shadow appeared over Shinwon, his arms going in front of his face to prepared for the worst. A helping hand extended to help Shinwon out, his cowardice fading as he grabbed the leather-clad appendage.
“You must be Shinwon,” after helping the idol to his face, his face growing pale as he recognized the face belonging to the voice.
“I’m Leatherface, Y/N’s dad.”

Wear It Like a Second Skin
Name: Léon Bellandini | Puppet: Simba | Villain name: Pride
Daring/arrogant/fighter/lots of contacts/gang leader.
They say clothes make the man.
---
-Nothing-
You are created in a lab, amniotic fluid still in your lungs as they ready the tattoo gun. Your birth is greeted not with fanfare and relieved joy but the searing pain of a needle on freshly grown skin. Life teaches you its first lesson then - and the lesson it teaches is pain.
The needle strikes again and again, right over your heart. Reduces everything you are into a barcode for them to access at a whim. That's when you learn your second lesson: To cry is to show weakness. To show weakness is to leave yourself vulnerable to punishment.
You should never let yourself be weak, or they will destroy you.
That is the lesson they teach you.
---
-Hospital Gown-
It makes them uncomfortable to see you looking so human. There are some things that can't be overriden by the conscious rational mind no matter how much they try.
So you are given a gown. Something to preserve your modesty. It makes little sense when they oversaw your development from little more than a clump of cells to what you are now - but they never do explain themselves to you.
"What makes you humans so special?" you ask idly. It's a risk to bother them when they're working but this one has only been showing signs of being frustratingly lonely. Talking to herself and the machinery, at least you'll answer back.
"Huh?"
You continue on, undeterred. "I heard it was something to do with souls. But I can't really see it in you guys," -you squint at her, trying to determine some sort of...aura, or energy that marked her as different from you- "So how do you even know if you have a soul?"
Eyes barely visible behind the lab glasses narrow at you. Of course you just stare straight back up at her, head held up high and defiant and daring her to challenge you.
It's subtle, but they have been training you to notice micro-expressions. The way her lips purse and her eyes shutter at your words…
You've managed to instill doubt in her.
It feels like an eternity in the shared breath you both hold.
But then she just looks down, down at your hospital gown and the IV poking out of your arm. The searing orange that will always mark you as different, no matter what words tumble out of your mouth.
That's all it takes to break the spell. "Your checkup is complete," she says instead. "Return to your handler."
(In the end sympathy is nothing without action.)
---
-Sidestep Suit-
It's funny, it really is. The only way you can begin to become yourself is by taking on a mask.
Somewhere along the way you start to become it. Somewhere along the way, you start to let your guard down and let yourself hope.
That's how they get you.
---
-Nothing, Part II-
They strip you down to nothing and rebuild you into the tool you were meant to be.
"Watch yourself. You don't want to be turned into spare parts, do you?"
You say nothing and smile your most unsettling grin. This one's still too fresh to know how to deal with you, he just silently gapes at your expression as his fingers twitch to do something about you. But he's not grown emotionally cold enough to punish you for smiling.
The silence starts to grow uncomfortable, it makes him nervous. Makes him more prone to mistakes.
Makes him forget to double check the restraints as he turns away from you.
You're not haunted by his screams.
You're not.
---
-Incognito Disguise-
Living for revenge has been all well and good for keeping you alive until now but what it's not good for is actually providing you with the semblance of a real life. You feel like a hidden flame, burning so hotly that no one can see you with the naked eye.
Anyone who gets close will only get burnt. People are liabilities and targets and enemies.
They will all burn and burn and burn for what they've done to you. But for now you have to remain invisible to their watchful eyes. No matter how much it chafes.
---
-Puppet-
What is your puppet if not just another suit of armour to don against the world? A different set of assumptions, a different set of capabilities...what does it matter that this suit is made of flesh and bone?
In the end, a quick smile against warm skin and a casual friendliness is just as effective in clouding their eyes as any makeup and costume. People actually like Simba, he's too tiny and cute looking to come off than anything more than a merry prankster. The sort of guy who'd buy everyone a drink and then proceed to cause endearingly entertaining mischief with a roguish grin.
(He shoots them dead with the same smile he'd given at that bawdy joke they told him mere hours earlier.)
---
-Villain Armour-
You promised yourself you wouldn't hide anymore. Wouldn't run anymore.
No, it's time to stand your ground, roar out a challenge to the world - this is me, here I am. I will not cower before you, I am not afraid to exist.
You have become Pride.
The heels make you feel taller, stand straighter, make sure you know how important it is to keep your balance. Mortum wasn't exactly happy with how utterly impractical the choice is but you like the way it keeps you on your toes. (No pun intended.) Every step counts.
And well, the extra armour's there to help you when you do misstep.
You think Ortega would frown at you if he realised why you made that particular decision. Sure it's okay for him to be reckless and deliberately throw himself into dangerous situations for the thrill of tasting the sweet sweet rush that comes from feeling alive in the face of death...but you can’t? Damn hypocrite.
You are glorious and resplendent, a true conqueror in gold and red. The world shall hear the lion roar and tremble at your feet.
(What? Yes, of course I want a cape Mortum, how am I suppose to monologue effectively without a dramatic billowing cape?)
---
-Mob Boss Suits-
People makes assumptions according to what they see and you're not afraid to use that to your advantage. Dress for power and they'll treat you accordingly.
It's so laughably easy. You don't even have to manipulate them when they take their own ideas of what clothing means and run with it, seeing the outer darkness and power and wealth you exude and believing it must be the same on the inside. They just love to fall over themselves doing things for you, thinking you must be some big name just as long as you act like it.
Fake it 'til you make it. Your tailored suits and golden rings are just the mask you need in a cutthroat world like this.
(It's so easy to fall into the role.)
---
-The Most Eye-Bleedingly Attention Grabbing Outfit You Could Find-
You're a lion, not a mouse. You'll never be normal, why not embrace it?
They taught you how to hide, how to camouflage yourself...how to be anything they needed you to be. Clothing has always been one of your main weapons, your wits and tongue one of the few things they could never take away from you, not completely.
You're supposed to be free. So you dress freely in defiance of all the lessons they taught you. Dress to stand out in a crowd and draw attention to yourself, dress to say fuck you to all the suitably trendy fashion codes or carefully bland outfits they forced on you.
"Yeah, that's right. Like what you see?" You give a wink for good measure at the horrified lady staring at you who looks almost nauseated. If she doesn't like your lime green heeled crocs, that's her problem.
She just shakes her head.
Let them think what they want, you know she won't remember your face, just the clothes. The clothes you can take off.
(In the end, isn't it just another role you're playing?)
(In the end, who's to say you aren't just hiding behind the smug grins and loud-mouthed idiot attitude?)
"You know, if I didn't know better, I'd think you deliberately dress as horribly as you can," Ortega huffs. "I helped you pick out a nice wardrobe and yet you dress like this…"
That prompts you to turn to him, smirking. "What can I say? It's fun irritating people sometimes. Besides, if you hate it that much, you could always just tear all this off me…" Ortega's not the only one who knows how to give suggestive little winks.
It makes him laugh as he gives you a teasing shove. "Don't tempt me here out in public! Those duck shorts are bad enough to rip off you even without the incentive!"
"My Donny Duck shorts are offended at such base insults."

2 and 12
Wow, this took an eternity. I’m sorry. I wrote so much and had to delete most of it again because it was ridiculously long.
2. Where did you find inspiration for your muse?
Short answer: Everywhere.
Long answer:
When watching the Sabaody arc I kinda wanted to see a marine’s reaction to learning about the slavery and other… bad things. I mean, they surely don’t tell every new recruit what’s up. That would be counterproductive for their reputation, as many people probably join thinking they’ll do good in the world.
As we didn’t get any marine’s reaction I created my own: A naiive female marine that was supposed to be devastated be learning that she spent her whole life dedicated to serve people that were even worse than the monsters (read: pirates) she had fought before.
I made her a captain. But I wanted her to have tight bonds with her whole crew. Since I couldn’t make as many individual characters as there are people in a marine captains crew I pulled the idea of a small special unit out of my ass and thought about what kind of jobs were necessary on a ship. Ironically the most helpful page was one that explained how pirate crews are build.
After I decided on which jobs would be occupied, I started fleshing out the characters occupying these. Going into detail for everyone would take to much time and space, so I’ll just list the most important influences.
1. Captain, Ránar: The name is taken from norse mythology, and morphed to not be Rana anymore, since someone else already has an OC called that. The way she will go is inspired by Madsen’s Kapitän (See next question).
For the others I used patterns: Family name taken from some sea bird, first name having a meaning including water (except Don and Lani). I know, it’s not very creative but they were only meant as placeholders in the beginning but then grew on me.
Another pattern: Faces taken from some German musicians, since I guessed those weren’t used by anyone yet. NOTE: After working on them for a while they barely resemble their faceclaims anymore, so I don’t know if I can even still use the term faceclaim. But I figured it might be interesting to see where they came from.
2. First mate, Don(val) Bekassin: He is just called Don, after an older Character of mine. His Sarkasm stems from my favourite character and main spurce of entertainment of a bookseries I read: Abu Dun. He was also supposed to have very dark skin and exaggerated in size, as that character, but those characteristics then went to Toja. His family name is just Bekassine minus the “e”. Faceclaim: Adel Tawil (link)
3. Quartermaster, Nero Turnstone: I honestly don’t know, what inspired him. I guess he is what I think of the “hero saving damsel in distress” trope. Except that he never get’s the chance to be that hero and his opinion on just being strong is enough to slay the dragon (or rather defeat the oponent) won’t get him very far. His stubborness and attitude towards defeat is inspired by Equilibrium’s Unbesiegt (See next question). “Nero” is greek for water, “turnstone” a bird and his faceclaim is Peter Fox (link).
4. Ship’s doctor, Kanja Mornell: He is heavily inspired by a real live doctor I had the misfortune to meet and the XXL-East Frisian (a TV-famous guy, nicknamed bone crusher, like Kanja). Bone crusher (German: Knochenbrecher) is actually the old East Frisian term for an orthopedist for horses. The show followed him around helping horses. It often looked rough, but it was effective. The reallife doctor was feared among the people of my home town before he retired. The hopital was drastically understaffed so, if you had to do an post-operation check up you were send to him. He was unsensitive, rough, didn’t care if you were in pain because of how he treated you, just explained why and that it would soon be over. He was a former field’s doctor and people think that’s were he got his roughness from. Going there was a nightmare. When people neded to have an operation they didn’t say “I hope everything will turn out fine”, they said “I hope I don’t need check ups afterwards”… Kanja is hindi for born in the water, Mornell comes from Mornellregenpfeifer, the German name for Dotterel , his faceclaim is Lasterbalk (link)
5. Cook, Kelvin Ostrero: I wanted a scary looking chemist as a cook. His fighting style is inspired by Honey Lemon from big hero six. Kelvin is scottish for small water, Ostrero is a bird, his faceclaim is Alec Völkel (link).
6. Navigator 1, Lani Plover:
and
7. Navigator 2, Mari Plover: I wanted an amazing Navigator but was afraid he would overshadow Nami, so I devided the talent onto two Navigators that act as a unit since birth: twins. One can “read” the sky and air, the other can “read” the waters. Their background is inspired by Roman policy to demand the sons of Germanic tribe leaders as a security to keep the borders peaceful. In exchange those sons were treated as Roman citizens including military training and such. Lani is hawaiian for sky, Mari is taken from mare, Italinan for sea. (Ringed) Plover is a bird and their faceclaim is Julien Bam (link) who is rather a youtuber but he also makes music, so I let it count.
8. Gunner, Sorav Skua: He is my answere to the question: What would happen if a Kuja Pirate were to bear a son. And what would happen if that woman died someday, after teaching her son some haki. That’s basically his backstory very simplyfied. Sorav is kurdish for red water, Skua is a bird, His face claim is Samy Deluxe (link).
9. Lookout, Narius Vanell: Inspired by the concept of a “Spielmann” (translation says minstrel, but translating back it’s different). Basically a medivial folk musician or band travelling around through towns and medivial markets drinking and sleeping around and simply enjoying life. But turned gay and added some elegance and dignity. Narius also stems from the greek word for water (like Nero), Vanell is from Vanellus Vanellus, the latin name for an arefria, his face claim is Blumio (link).
10. Helmsman, Avin Triel: As mentioned in my drawtober thingies, he is basically a mix of Till Eulenspiegel, a legendary prankster, and Klaus Störtebeker, a legendary pirate. Avin is a mix of Avid, kurdish for “like water” and Avina, old high German for “the great fighter”. Triel is the German word for curlew. His faceclaim is Maximilian Schlichter (link).
11. Ship wright, Toja Lobat: As mentioned before, part of his character stems from a character I like. Mainly his statue (which I exaggerated even more), his skin colour and his soft heart. All in all he’s just a big softy with too much strength. And he’s afraid of hights because I found the thought of someone who towers over most people to be afraid of hights hilerious. Toja is “native american” (the page didn’t specify which language exactly) for flowing water. Lobat comes from Phalaropus Lobatus, latin for red-necked phalarope. His face claim is Chima (link).
12. Bosun, Yuval Avosett: No real inspiration. I wanted someone weird. That’s him. Whenever I come up with an idea for something that would be considered weird behaviour I ask myself, if I can see him doing it. If yes, it becomes part of his character. Yuval is hebrew for source of water. Avosett comes from Recurvirostra Avosetta, latin for Avocet. His face claim is Niel Mitra (link).
12. Share a song that matches with your muse!
I have only really found two so far:
Unbesiegt by Equilibrium (link) for Nero
Kapitän by Madsen (link) for Ránar
both are German, but I’m sure there are translations somewhere out there.

BOI
Where is my ‘All The Boys I’ve Ever Loved Before’ Stony AU??
Featuring High School Junior Steve who’s painfully shy and emotionally constipated so, when he gets a crush he sketches them, then writes to them on the back, expressing his feelings.
And then he shoves them in a box under his bed and doesn’t think about him until he’s tormented by another crush.
The letters are addressed to the following.
Bucky Barns: One of his best friends, one of his oldest friends. Bucky’s got storms in his eyes and a leather jacket that smelled of baby oil and cigarettes. He looks effortlessly handsome in long hair not a damn soul ever utters a word about, because he’d kick their ass into next Wednesday. He’s Steve’s current crush, but this is a problem, because Bucky is Natasha’s boyfriend.
Natasha Romanov: Steve’s other best friend. They’d known one another since the first grade, and are next door neighbors. When they were little and Steve’s mother had to work night shifts, Steve used to stay at her house. They’d watch the Goosebumps hour and cling to one another at the scary parts. Natasha’s got red hair that she absolutely despises and eyes that are green in the summer and hazel in the fall. Steve did her sketch in the ninth grade.
Peggy Carter: A girl Steve once met at camp. She’d been nice to him when the others pranked him. She’d found him at sunset in the shower cabin. After finding out that the pranksters had taken his clothes and thrown them up into trees, she climbed up each one and retrieved them for him. She’d handed them to him through a crack in the door, but that wasn’t before Steve saw her expression. Soft, but stronger than steel as she insisted that they do something to retaliate. Steve did her sketch the summer before Sophomore year.
Tony Stark: In the seventh grade Steve and Tony kissed.It was just a soft brush of lips, a peck, more than anything. It was a result of spin the bottle, but it was a kiss no less. The only one Steve’s ever had. Tony was...indescribable. His hair was too long and his eyes were like honey-but instead of mellow slowness everything about him was high energy and loud. The teachers had called him a problem child. Steve did his sketch that night, while the looking in Tony’s eyes just before they kissed was still fresh in his mind.
Thor Odinson: Okay, this one just isn’t fair. There isn’t a single person in the entirety of Shield High who doesn’t want Thor. He’s kind, and he always smiles and he plays football. He’s not like the other jocks, he’s genuinely sweet and strange and foreign with his yellow hair and smile like the sun. Steve did his sketch Christmas Break freshman year, after he ran into him on the street whilst carrying six bags of groceries down the slippery sidewalk. He took three of the bags from Steve and walked him all the way to his front door.
One day, Steve moves the five sketches to his history book, because room inspections at the house he was living in the six other foster boys were underway., and there was no way he trusted anyone with them. So when he loses the history book that day he’s positively mortified.
These sketches and messages were never supposed to be seen by any of these people.
So when Nat meets him on the sidewalk on Monday morning to walk to school, Steve nearly passes out when he sees she’s got the letter in her hand. His letter. that he wrote her.
Luckily it’s not a big deal. She laughs a little, but not meanly. She teases him a little and hugs him but they bater as usual as they walk down the street to the school. On the way there, Nat quietly tell him that she and Bucky broke up. Steve hates himself when the first thing he feels his a spark of hope rather than sympathy for his best friends.
At Lunch Thor approaches him with the letter. Sketch. He’s elated, and doesn’t find it odd at all. He compliments Steve on his art and tells him he’s going to keep it in a safe place.
Steve’s almost able to put it out of his mind in gym .He goes to the weight room and is on the bench press when the door opens and closes. Upsidedown, Steve sees Tony Stark enter looking somewhat disgusted as he side steps a sweat soaked t-shirt in the middle of the floor. In Tony’s hand is the sketch Steve almost kills himself by dropping the bar. He puts it back quickly, just in time for Tony to approach him, and start telling him how he was flattered and he appreciated the gesture but-
Steve stops listening when he sees Buck walk in. He looks down trodden and sad, and he’s got a letter in his hand. Thinking of Natasha, thinking of just how many friendship codes he’d be breaking if he were ever to act on his feelings for Bucky. But Bucky is walking towards him. Bucky has the sketch, and Steve panics and does the only thing he can think of doing. He grabs Tony Stark (who’s still talking but saying absolutely nothing) and kisses him right on the mouth.
Bucky, stunned, looks around the room. He leaves when a spotting coach rushes over and shooes Steve and Tony out of the guy, talking about how tired he is of teenage hormones. Steve agrees with the sentiment, and he’s gone before Tony has a single chance to talk to him.
Later, Steve’s working in a diner not far from the school. He’s a waiter and dishwasher all wrapped up in one, especially when it’s late and the diner is dead, just as it is when Tony Stark swaggers in at one in the morning. Steve wants to jump in the big dishwashing sink and drown himself, but he doesn’t. He asks Tony what he wants to order, and Tony goes on reiterating the fact that he was flattered, but not into Steve like that at all.
Lightly stung Steve replies that he didn’t have a thing for Tony either, that he’d simply kissed him so Bucky wouldn’t think he liked him, which could ruin his relationship with both Buck AND Natasha and then he really would be friendless. Tony doesn’t react to this the way Steve thought he would. Instead of the expected anger, Tony lights up. A smile that seems to make the whole damn room look brighter.
This is when they decide that they’re going to fake a relationship. Steve would stay in the clear with Nat and Bucky, and Tony could make Pepper jealous so she’d take him back for the umpteenth time.
So they fake it. They draw up a contract, a mutual agreement-because if the plot got out they’d both be humiliated and no one person should have any sort of upper hand. Steve insists on no kissing-which Tony seems adamantly against, but resolves to accept if Steve agrees to go with him on the annual Ski Trip. Steve does. The contract is signed.
Over the span of four months, Steve and Tony become the power couple of SHIELD high. Tony drags Steve into things he’d never touch with a ten foot pole before, like parties and ditching school to go to the beach on a rainy day. Steve finds himself happier than he has been in a long time. The happiest he’s been since the losss of his mother. They have that in common. They talk about it one night, sitting in Tony’s kitches as Steve washed and dried the dishes, despite Tony’s assurance that he didn’t have to. That night Steve found himself feeling incredibly hurt when the subject of Pepper came back up. Pepper who’d cornered Tony earlier that day to ask Tony if he was going on the Ski trip, and if he was taking Steve with him. Tony senses this, and joked about it, asking Steve is he was feeling jealous. Steve tells him there’s nothing to be jealous about, because none of it is real.
When he leaves Tony’s house that night his feet seem glued to the driveway for too long as he studies the handle bars of his bike, arguing with himself about if he should apologize or not. He decides he won’t. Ha also decides that thing had begun to get more real, and needed to stop. Because now Bucky wasn’t the one he though about cuddling up to or going to movies with. It was Tony. Tony and his snarky, mile a minute mouth and his college math textbooks and his robots that he built himself and treated like his children. Tony.
Steve tries to ‘break up’ with tony after over hearing a conversation between him and Pepper. It sounds too much like they’re going to get back together. Tony’d gotten what he wanted, and Steve had gotten the same. There was no point in doing it all anymore. Tony argues that Steve signed the contract, which included the Ski Trip. Steve, wanting to always be a man of his word, agrees.
On the bus to the mountain Steve doesn’t sit next to Tony, even though Tony tires to get him to. Instead Steve sits in the back and looks out the window with Natasha snoring on his shoulder. Pepper takes the spot next to Tony, and Steve regrets the whole ‘fake relationship’ more and more ever moment that passed.
Later that night, Steve finally tells Natasha everything. He’s been moody and snappy all day, and Nat pins him to the ground and threatens him with a sharpie and the label ‘pissbaby’ on his forehead for being such a party pooper and the dam just breaks. She laughs at him. Actually. She tells him he’s stupid, tells him that Tony looks at him like he’s the whole world, and that it was a little hard to miss. She also tells him that Tony is waiting for Steve out in the hot tub.
As it turns out, Tony is in the hot tub. He’s by all means sulking, but he perks up a little when Steve sits down on the edge. Steve preambles with howTony’d gotten to sit with Pepper on the ride up, asks him how it was-but Tony cuts him off. He tells Steve he hadn’t wanted to sit next to Pepper. He hadn’t planned don sitting next to Pepper. He’d bought stupid road trip bingo and pizza flavored Bugles on the bus not for his health, but because those were things Steve liked. And Tony liked Steve. Very much.
There’s defining moments in every person’s life. Steve has one when he slides into the hot tub (still in his pajama pants) and for the first time kisses Tony Stark like he means it.

A filler day (Pushing daisies au)
N/A: Kitty is the prankster and is a nice way to deal with immortality. And Kurt takes years, years and years to realize who was behind the whole prank thing.
@djinmer4 @dannybagpipesarecalling
(Past)
Logan Howlett is a man that deals with the supernatural of the supernatural, and in moments of crisis the X-men can always rely on him, however, this is a situation that not even the almighty Wolverine can deal with as he decides to appeal his case to the Necromancer. However, rumour caught his ear that a Lady necromancer lives by and well in such desperate measure belief in a rumour is not completely stupid.
"Oh, yes, the lady necromancer, a beautiful lady as I recall, well, you could try to appeal your case to her, she lives in that mountain," the friendly woman said and Logan takes her advice as is now in front of the place where the Lady lives.
Hardly a place where a beautiful woman would like to live, but then again, everyone is free to have their own tastes.
"Beautiful lady Necromancer" Logan recites the words that the friendly woman and did take a bow, the lady is sitting in a chair reading something until the lady decides to reveal herself and Logan´s eyes widen at sight.
The demonic necromancer with his red eyes put his book down violently and stroll towards Logan.
"Another one, who keeps spreading this rumour that I´m a woman?" The demonic necromancer said and Logan just tells a tale of a senile woman that sometimes mix fiction with reality and Logan apologises with the demonic necromancer. Kurt just narrows his eyes not really believing a word he says but then Logan mention a problem and the price willing to pay and the demonic necromancer can inquiry about the "lady necromancer" later.
The person that conquer the lands he wants(even if for petty reasons) is the same person that take down one of his guards and is spreading the rumour. Why? because only a crazy person would dare to defy Kurt.
(present)
Illyana Rasputin is the new member of the New Mutants, a guild that the famous X-men is supporting. The members are all of Kitty´s teen staff that take this Saturday to make a visit to their old boss.
"We are going to, well, as they call, hang out, so I´ll come back a bit later"Illyana speak happily but awkwardly social gatherings of any kind is a new territory to the woman. And Kitty smiles and nods her little sister joins the happily chattering teens to do whatever normal teens do.
"She grows so fast," Kitty said proud of the scene but still feeling a bit of nostalgia and melancholic, however, her musings about the past are cut short as someone speaks jolting the woman to reality.
"You seem a bit younger to be a mother"Alistair, a new force to the Excalibur imported from Scotland and is a very young lad, as Brian introduced them earlier, yet, Kitty has the suspicion that is not naivety his problem.
"Oh, I look older than I look, but, Alistair, what are you doing here? I thought you would go to that mission" Kitty asked in a nice way smiling pleasantly as her eyes darted to the demonic necromancer that is inside of her shop. Eating her pastries like there´s no tomorrow.
For someone that did fancy himself as the lord of the world, he sure has no table´s manner.
"I did but then my team caught a strange artefact and I was hoping to ask the necromancer for some information about what it is" Alistair explained and Kitty nods with a gracefully smile on her face.
"I see, well, you must be aware of the prince a necromancer can demand for this type of help" the young man gulps hard and Kitty still smiles serenely "but I´ll tell you a secret, the blue necromancer is actually the beautiful lady necromancer" Alistair seems to not believe 100% but still send questionable looks to Kurt who is eating the last pastry as if it the last on earth.
"Oh, yes, you see, the lady necromancer is very beautiful, so beautiful that Lady Zaorva feels treated by such beauty and curse her, only a man that calls her beautiful can see the true beauty of the blue necromancer" Kitty explained in a kinder tone and the young man nods now starting to believe.
"And imagine how thankfully Kurt will be once you reveal her true form?"
"Wait? if she is a she, then why her name is Kurt?"
"But Kurt is a feminine name in Germany," Kitty said in an easy tone and Alistair nods now getting the big picture. The young man enters the shop and spots Meggan and Brian sit together talking about their wedding.
"What do you think of lilac?" Meggan asked.
"Uhm I think is a great colour, pink it would be a bit cliche" Brian sagely said and Meggan nods happily and his eyes then meet with the necromancer that is talking with a mini version of themselves.
Oh, poor lady, she must be really lonely to resort to this.
Alistair makes a bow and golden eyes are a lock on the young man as the Scottish recites a poem reciting how beautiful the lady in question truly is. Kurt, no iris or pupil, still look at Alastair as the boy continues to confess how gorgeous the lady in front of him truly is.
One moment, Brian put his hand on the boy and whispered in his ear "you know he is a man, right?"
Alistair looked at the bemused Kurt then to a very shocking Brian and to a laughing Kitty outside.
"But Kitty told me you are a pretty lady" Alistair speak confused "that you are under a curse and only a brave man can lift it"
Brian could say something but the necromancer merely smiles maniacally as he teleports from the shop to the outside where a laughing Kitty stops laughing to greet him.
"So...it was you, this entire time," Kurt said feeling many things as Kitty takes his hand and kissed like a true gentleman.
"Milady!" Kitty said and Kurt is promising to himself to never miss anything this odd woman does. Smiling deviously the man takes Kitty in his arms and teleports back to the shop placing Kitty in his lap.
"Hey?"
"I was thinking since I´m such a beautiful lady, You can´t deny, so, I rather like this position"
"Hey, I´m not your teddy bear"
"Of course not, teddy bears don´t talk or make pranks on me for years, but
you are very petite"
The two continues in this way for a while as Alaistair and the others are being ignored, Brian volunteers to help Alastair with the artefact. The real Lady necromancer can no longer do pranks with the demonic necromancer for now.

The Simpsons: The Surprising Influences of Treehouse of Horror
https://ift.tt/3b1x3i7
The Simpsons’ “Treehouse of Horror” episodes have become a tradition worthy of international renown and global ill repute. They are dark candy for the soul and a grab bag of tricks and treats. The installments are non-canon, so beloved characters can die horribly amusing deaths, and the normal morality plays of America’s most animated family get maimed into cautionary tales of celebration.
The annual Halloween specials draw their inspiration from many sources. Some are ripped from the pages of great books of literature, others are ripoffs of classic films. The long-running series also ventures deep into other dimensions of sound, sight, and mind, of shadow and substance, things and ideas.

The Simpsons: Treehouse of Horror XXXII Is a Gorey Affair
By Tony Sokol
TV
13 Great Simpsons Treehouse of Horror Halloween Stories
By Mark Harrison
The Simpsons are cultural and their “Treehouse of Horror” segments are cannibalistic. So, grab an empty sack, here are some instances where the series fed on the culture they feed.
6 Twisted Twilight Zone Take-Offs
Submitted for your approval or at least your analysis: The Simpsons, which at 33 seasons, is one of the more visibly worse-for-wear cartoons on Earth. It holds the record for most episodes preempted by football games. It’s very likely the series would continue in precisely this pattern, if it didn’t tempt all the fates by moving into the cold, gray dawn of The Twilight Zone. Rod Serling’s classic anthology series contained all the magic, miracles and technology to keep The Simpsons fresh, funny and twisted, even though the whole family might rather have stood in bed.
We chose six portraits from the night gallery branch of “The Treehouse of Horrors.”
Stop The World, I Want To Goof Off
“A Kind of a Stopwatch” in one of only three Twilight Zone episodes to include the phrase, “submitted for your approval.” It told the story of Patrick Thomas McNulty, fired from his job for stuffing the company suggestion box with meaningless notes, he receives the gift of time. After using and misusing it, he gets handed the bill. “Stop the World, I Want to Goof Off,” from “Treehouse of Horror XIV,” pays it forward with interest. Bart and Milhouse don’t use their magic stopwatch for greed, they just want to make the world a worse place than it is, but in the most comical way.
“Kill them before learning of the terrible secret they possess,”Sideshow Mel yells as the two young pranksters are revealed and reviled, leading to one of those Springfield moments where the whole town assembles for mob rule, and vigilante fun. Bart and Milhouse learn a valuable lesson during the episode, perhaps even more poignant than the one learned on The Twilight Zone. Eating nothing but frosting and giving the Pope a wedgie gets old after a while.
I’ve Grown A Costume On Your Face
Twenty-five bucks won’t buy you half a Balance Bar at the Quik E Mart, but “I’ve Grown a Costume on Your Face” from “Treehouse of Horror XVI” is a reward no witch can rescind. Is it cheating if you win a costume party dressed up as yourself? All of Springfield gets caught up in the fine print when they are cursed to “become the guise thou dons,” which doesn’t clear things up immediately. It is a horrific twist on a last will, and a testament to the power of the façade.
Directed by Ida Lupino, “The Masks” is one of the most subversive and possibly mean-spirited of the Twilight Zone classics. A wealthy man on his deathbed forces his greedy family to wear hideous masks, of his choosing, until the stroke of midnight, when he himself expires. Each mask represents the most unsavory aspect of the wearer, and leaves a lasting impression. Good luck getting your deposits back on those costumes.
Bart’s Nightmare
It’s good that you’re reading this. “Bart’s Nightmare” from “Treehouse of Horror II” is a gift from the iconic Twilight Zone episode, “It’s A Good Life.” Before he got Lost in Space, Billy Mumy found amusement as six-year-old Anthony Fremont. The episode also starred Cloris Leachman as his mother, and her Mrs. Fremont character may be the basis for Marge’s historic run as the most enabling mother on TV. It is good that Bart can do things with his mind, especially considering how he’s usually failing most of his classes.
To see history rewritten around Bart’s whims may be one of those times when The Simpsons predicted the future, but the football announcer praising Bart for a missed field goal scores the most chilling punchline. The segment retains the iconic jack-in-the-box image from the source material, but mainly because it offers so many comic possibilities, and is a must-have on a rollercoaster. The nightmare of the title stems from Dr. Marvin Monroe’s therapy. Just as the sequence is about to coast into something resembling feel-good closure, Bart wakes up screaming, keeping a happy thought.
Clown Without Pity
House of Evil is the best place in Springfield for last-minute birthday gifts. It is the town’s “One Stop Evil Shop,” and specializes in “forbidden objects from places men fear to tread.” They also sell frogurt, a mixed blessing because it is cursed, but comes with free toppings, which are also cursed. When Homer splurges on a rare Krusty doll, even Grandpa Simpson has to admit it is “evil, I tells ya, EEVVILLL!” It is an evil so ancient it goes back to a time when Telly Savalas had hair: the 1963 “Living Doll” episode of The Twilight Zone.
The doll in that episode, Talking Tina, is also Chucky’s cinematic mother, and the funny figurine at the center of “Clown Without Pity” does far more than wait around on staircases to get rid of a dysfunctional dad. The episode also references Trilogy of Terror, and snips the last lingering thread of heterosexuality from Marge’s sister Patty. “Clown Without Pity” was the first segment of “Treehouse of Horror III,” and the writers at the “Krusty the Clown Show” should have claimed it as “Dollhouse of Horror I.”
Terror at 5 1/2 Feet
“Terror at 5 1/2 Feet” from 1993’s “Treehouse of Horror IV,” dismantles the 1963 Twilight Zone episode “Nightmare At 20,000 Feet,” which starred William Shatner. The then-future Captain Kirk only had to deal with a gremlin, and a history of strange behavior. Bart has all that but also loses Milhouse to the iodine-flavored candy treats of the new foreign exchange student Üter. It is a perfect takeoff, hitting all the same beats, but occasionally with more frightening payoffs.
The closeup reveal of the gremlin at the airplane window in the Twilight Zone original is an iconic image. Seeing Groundskeeper Willie forced to take the school bus is more unsettling than what he had to do to his usual carpool. The Simpsons also includes a grislier conclusion, with the gremlin holding the severed head of Ned Flanders, including his spinal column, and still smiling.
Hungry are the Damned
“Hungry are the Damned.” from “Treehouse of Horror I,” is based on the iconic 1962 episode of The Twilight Zone, “To Serve Man.” The installment introduces Kang, Kodos, and Serac, the preparer to The Simpsonsverse, and they came prepared. The Rigelian delegation picks up the Simpson family from a cookout for a greater feast on Rigel 4. To keep the humans engaged during the long trip, the aliens fulfill all their culinary desires, and leave an old book out for them to read.
On the season 3 episode of Twilight Zone, cryptographers work hard and long to decipher the title, but they are halfway through the third course before they realize they are reading a cookbook. Lisa, the most progressive member of the family, exposes her own family as a bunch of xenophobes. Surely, there were monsters on that alien ship, and they over-ate and under-tipped. Hey, whether you’re cooking four humans or 40, Marge is a “quite a dish” in any galaxy.
6 Literary Lacerations
The Simpsons throws the book at their “Treehouse of Horror” chapters like pranksters toss toilet paper rolls into trees on the night before Halloween, the scariest of all nights because that’s when all the last-minute candy grabs are made. The very premise of the annual event is the telling of spooky tales in the limbs of an uncaring twig. Books are made from trees, and every member of the Simpson family has contributed to deforestation. Even Bart Simpson has finished novels. Most of them horror classics, which makes these six picks all the more, and yet much less, literary.
The Island of Dr. Hibbert
Homer can be quite gentle, when he wants to be, but his true nature comes out among the beasts. This “Treehouse of Horror XIII” segment is a parody of The Island of Dr. Moreau by H. G. Wells. In, and on, “The Island of Dr. Hibbert,” Springfield’s resident physician sticks a scalpel into animal husbandry, and Marge is the first bride. “Think what Shakespeare might have accomplished if he had the eyes of an eagle,” Dr. Hibbert enthuses over a sumptuous dinner of hybrid turkey/Professor Frink meat, with chestnut stuffing, rare enough to scream in agony. This is a perfect setup for a discussion about the frightening opportunities in time-shares.
Other than a few Darwinian mishaps, it seems the secret island getaway is an unnatural paradise, as The Simpsons find possibilities untold in Mr. Wells’ story. Homer scratches Marge’s blue panther itches, and questions his humanity. In an animalistic society where all anyone has to do is eat, mate, sleep, mate, eat, wallow in filth for a while, and then eat, mate and sleep again, why is missing out on all the fun?
Easy-Bake Coven
Easy-Bake Coven,” from “Treehouse of Horror VIII,” was rated TV-666. It is vaguely based on Arthur Miller’s 1952 play The Crucible, and its 1996 film adaptation, but is more of a commentary on the times. During a trial scene, Edna Krabappel is wearing a big red letter “A,” which is a nod to the era’s most representational novel The Scarlet Letter. I can’t decide whether the mayor of the town of Sprynge-Fielde, circa 1649, was more or less lenient than the Salem witch trial officiators. Quimby orders the hags burned at the stakes until they are deemed fit to re-enter society. Not precisely a death sentence, but somehow so much worse. “That ought to show God who’s side we’re on,” Ned enthuses at the burning.
When Marge is accused of witchcraft, she gets due process: She’s given a broomstick and shoved off a cliff, if she falls to an honorable Christian death, it proves she’s innocent. If she saves herself by deviltry, she has to return for beheading. Lisa throws the good book at them, pleading for the passage that says “judge not.” Chief Wiggum points out “The Bible says a lot of things.” Upon rising as a witch, Marge vows revenge. Patty and Selma consider stealing everyone’s shoes, but when Ned and Maude fret that witches eat children, the three witches set off to sack Rod and Todd. When the Flanders trade sweets for tots, it becomes the story of the first caramel cod. It’s too bad the Bouvier sisters filled up on children. One historical note, Hasbro’s Easy-Bake Oven was not available in the new world in 1649.
Bart Simpson’s Dracula
1993’s “Treehouse of Horror IV” closed the coffin on Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and all the works and pomps which the man who made The Godfather brought to its film adaptation. Stoker was not known as a humorist, and the first draft of his play Dracula was so boring the actor playing the title role fell asleep at the table read, something Abe Simpson emulates consistently. Stoker’s book mentions dark shadows which Francis Ford Coppola masterfully transposed to the screen, but they are nowhere near as imaginative as the spectral clouds the plasma-deprived dark prince of Pennsylvania, C. Montgomery Burns, throws onto the walls. The only things more insidious are what he utters into the intercom when he thinks he’s taken his fingers off the button.
“Bart Simpson’s Dracula” is actually rather loosely based on the book “Yes, I am a Vampire,” by Monty Burns, with a forward by Steve Allen. It also borrows from Stephen King’s Salem’s Lot, when Bart and the Springfield Elementary School gang start hanging by invisible thread outside Lisa’s window. The most disturbing detail doesn’t come with the revealing of the head vampire, but with the power of the eternal boss. Homer gets fired for plunging a stake into Burns’ heart.
The Devil and Homer Simpson
Hell hath no fury which can smite a hungry, hungry Homer. Homer Simpson sells his soul for a donut and breaks Hell’s kitchen when his first punishment is to be force-fed an endless supply at the Ironic Punishment division at Hell Labs. This “Treehouse of Horror IV” installment, from 1993, is based on “The Devil and Daniel Webster,” a 1936 short story by Stephen Vincent Benét. His father and grandfather were military brass, and packed him off to the aptly named Hitchcock Military Academy when he was ten.
“Who’s that goat-legged fellow? I like the cut of his jib,” the eternally condemned Mr. Burns muses upon seeing the infernal one materialize on the Nuclear Plant security monitor. In the 1941 film adaptation, the lovable Walter Huston played Mr. Scratch. The primary titular character in “The Devil and Homer Simpson” is played by Homer’s god-fearing neighborino: “Hens love roosters, geese love ganders, everyone else loves Ned Flanders.” In his defense, the donut which first tempted Homer was “a vision in raspberry cream.” Sadly, the infernal court-appointed Defense Attorney Lionel Hutz, voiced by Phil Hartman, was too busy watching Matlock to even glance at discovery. With a “jury of the damned” consisting of Lizzie Borden, Benedict Arnold, John Wilkes Booth, Blackbeard the Pirate, John Dillinger, Richard Nixon, and the starting line of the 1976 Philadelphia Flyers, Homer wins but is still served unjust desserts.
Time And Punishment
I don’t want to be the negative Nellie in Sector 2, but the only thing “Time and Punishment” has in common with Fyodor Dostoevsky’s epic morality meditation Crime and Punishment is the title, and the eternal questions of endless existence. Yes, it took Homer forever to read that book, and if it wasn’t for a magical time machine-traveling toaster, and a stint in the waiting room for re-Neducation he never would have finished.
In the novel, the rascally Rodion Raskolnikov gets away with killing a pawnbroker, only to confess his crime and go to prison. In this installment from season 6’s “Treehouse of Horror V,” Homer kills all life on earth with a sneeze, tries to tell it to his family, and misses out on a mid-afternoon donut shower. He also is robbed of the chance to kill Groundskeeper Willie. Maggie gets the traditional honor in a particularly disturbing universe.
The Raven
The Simpsons’ “The Raven” is the most faithful adaptation of Edgar Allen Poe’s poetic masterpiece ever produced. In the 1935 film adaptation of The Raven, Bela Lugosi gives killer-on-the-run Boris Karloff a fearsome facelift. The 1963 film of the same name cages Karloff with Vincent Price and Peter Lorre as a trio of sorcerers. The 2012 film The Raven is about watching Poe die. Narrated by Lisa in her head voice, James Earl Jones, this installment in “Treehouse of Horror I” is a word-for-word retelling.

Movies
Scott Cooper and Guillermo del Toro Want to Make Edgar Allan Poe Movie
By David Crow
Homer is the tortured insomniac, distracted by every purple curtain, and pining for the lost Lenore, played by a two-tiered portrait of Marge. The telling captures the suspense of Poe’s interior rhymes, building to its most ironic climax. “You know what would have been scarier than nothing,” Bart asks. “Anything.” The actual black bird, played by Bart, is precisely the craven presence Poe imagined. The raven is a reminder so incessant it drives Homer to madness.
6 Segments That Mock Movies
From the very first Halloween special, The Simpsons have looked to motion pictures for morbid inspiration. They have mined horror, suspense and science fiction films for some of their most frighteningly funny farces, and veiled insubordination. The Simpsons find mischief in the most classic motion pictures. We picked six segments which capture the most sinister cinema moments.
Bad Dream House
Be it ever so humble, there really is no place like the “Bad Dream House,” except maybe the dwellings of Poltergeist and The Amityville Horror. Prime location, 18 bedrooms, a mote, and a portal to another dimension in the kitchen, the Simpsons wouldn’t have been able to afford the house if its walls didn’t bleed. Flashlight please, this was the first “Treehouse of Horror” segment ever aired, and the most scarifying.
The twist is, the Simpson family haunts the spooks. They don’t realize it, of course, even when the house sets each of the family against each other in an endless parade of knives, axes, white bread and mayonnaise. Given an ultimatum never before promised in a haunted house story, the dwelling chooses to destroy itself rather than spend eternity with the Simpsons. “You can’t help but feel a little rejected,” Lisa Simpson observes.
Nightmare Cafeteria
While the gang in The Breakfast Club were also stuck in detention, “Nightmare Cafeteria,” is Lunch Lady Doris’ way of making “Grade F” Soylent Green taste good. Springfield Elementary solves its bad meat problem with bad eggs, as Principal Skinner prepares tomorrow’s lunch with today’s detainees. Jimbo is a little tough, but free-range children are fairly game.
The third segment of “Treehouse of Horror V” was all about the children – sliced, diced, and blended into a saucy puree. When Springfield Elementary faces budget cuts and overcrowding, the teachers say “supersize me.” Skinner gets the honor of continuing the Treehouse of Horror tradition of axing Groundskeeper Willie in the back. The episode dishes out delicious bad taste.
Nightmare On Evergreen Terrace
“Nightmare On Evergreen Terrace” opens on the 13th day of the 13th month, according to the misprinted calendars Springfield Elementary bought. That’s not the only item the school scrimped on. They also cut costs on boiler room maintenance, door-knob repairs, and the refilling of fire extinguishers, which the Fire Department was offering for free. All of this combines to take a fiery toll on Groundskeeper Willie, who begins the segment as a plaid-clad Freddy Krueger in a Nightmare on Elm Street spoof, only to have his bagpipes popped in the deadlights of a parody of Stephen King’s It.
“Nightmare On Evergreen Terrace” is a dream of an episode, with colorful demises, and excellent set gags. Martin’s death with the tongue-lashing Calliope is a wonderfully twisted visual homage. Aired as segment 2 of “Treehouse of Horror VI” during season 7, it is also marked by Groundskeeper Willie’s truly ingenious creations, and the hysterically anticlimactic finish.
“The Shinning”
The Overlook Hotel in both Stephen King and Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining is a lot of fun in the summer, and a nightmare in the winter. Mr. Burns’ mountain lodge, in the “Treehouse of Horror V” segment, is built on an Indian burial ground, and was the site of satanic rituals, witch burnings, and the recordings of five John Denver Christmas specials. But the horrors don’t end there. There are no liquor deliveries during the off-season, and the vacation mansion turns off the cable after the fall premieres. Burns is so sure this isn’t the reason the past few downtime caretakers have all gone homicidally insane, he promises Smithers “if we come back and everyone’s slaughtered, I owe you a coke.”
“The Shinning” is such a perfect parody the writers had to add an extra “n” to the title to avoid a copyright dispute. It may be the best King adaptation yet made. It’s scary, funny, and has an ending we can all relate to. “Come, family. Sit in the snow with daddy and let us all bask in television’s warm glowing warming glow,” Homer says before all the Simpsons gather for one last infomercial. All work and no play makes us all something something.
Citizen Kang
“Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others,” we are promised in “Citizen Kang” from “Treehouse of Horror VII.” The film which inspired it is Citizen Kane, but the candidates are no rosebuds. Like Charles Foster Kane, citizens Kang and his sister Kodos don’t care if Springfield loses a million dollars a year, they only want your vote. Having reached the limits of what can be gleaned from humans via anal probe, they’ve commenced bio-duplication in time for the election. They are well-versed in pandering, flip-flopping, and how to excuse the exchange of long protein strings in public.
The segment has alien invasions, nude conspiracies, and proves what Lyndon LaRouche had been saying all along. It was timely at the time, the 1996 presidential race between Bill Clinton and Bob Dole, and seems quaint now. But it is no less funny, and never more true. “It makes no difference which one of us you vote for,” candidate Kang explains. “Your planet is doomed. Doomed.” Don’t blame us if you’ve thrown your vote away on a third-party candidate. I voted for Kodos.
A Streetcar Named Marge
The most frightening moment on The Simpsons occurred outside of the “Treehouse of Horrors” presentation. While Marge takes to the stage as Blanche Dubois in the 1992 episode “A Streetcar Named Marge,” Maggie is kept at The Ayn Rand School for Tots daycare center. It is a frightening and ominous place with such mindful reminders as “Helping is Futile,” and the children are fed “The Fountainhead Diet.”
cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });
The final scene where the family is retrieving Maggie is an homage to the film The Birds, and even contains one of Alfred Hitchcock’s patented cameos. The director was known for making uncredited appearances in his films. He misses a bus in North by Northwest, hides under a cowboy hat in Psycho, and I want to say he is one of the birds in The Birds, but he’s actually a guy walking a dog. Whether or not he’s also playing the dog, I don’t know. But he repeats his appearance as Homer is sneaking Maggie out of daycare. Hitchcock would also make an appearance in the “Treehouse of Horror” segment, “Dial “M” for Murder or Press “#” to Return to Main Menu.” A is A,” they say in Atlas Shrugged.

The Monster Behind The Mask: Remembering FRIDAY THE 13TH PART III
Friday the 13th Part III was released theatrically in the United States on Friday, August 13, 1982. 36 years ago tonight. Does that make you feel as old as Pamela Vorhees’ grey sweater? If the answer is a resounding ‘No, you fool – I was born in the 80’s, I had to wait at least a decade until I watched Jason mutilating camp counselors’, then welcome to this special look back on one of the more divisive Friday the 13th films. Grab your machetes, pull down your ice-hockey masks and don your wacky green/red 3-D spectacles, because we’re heading to Higgins Haven for some stabby-stabby fun with Jason Voorhees.
By the time Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981) came around in theaters, audiences had become swamped with low-quality slasher titles. Slasher film fatigue had set in hard, and although Jason’s second outing grossed over $21.7 million in the United States on a budget of $1.25 million, fans were disappointed with a rehashing of the original story, and it failed to pull in the original’s box office success. The fact that they gave no explanation to the ridiculous ending of Part II showed that the people in charge didn’t really put much value in the continuity or story progression. One thing everyone could agree on though: Jason needed to be scarier. He needed to be a real boogeyman. And to get there, there were going to need a gimmick to get that cold hard cash-vein open again. They needed…3D.
A New Dimension In Terror
The titles jumped out at you like Superman’s cosmic intro, only….cheaper looking. Not to mention a bombastic funky 70’s inspired theme that I totally dug, man. What you have to remember is that in 1982 although 3D film-making was still in its infancy (Jaws 3D anyone?) by 2010, it had become almost commonplace for any film released to be retrofitted for a new dimension of sight and sound. Friday the 13th Part III, however, paved the way for future 3D films. You may have a strong fondness for everything three dimensional, but for all the people that love donning plastic visors on their head the other bemoan the comically irritating ploy to cough up more money at the box office. I wear glasses and absolutely hate 3D films becuase it feels like I’m wearing glasses on top of glasses…which I am!
Unless you have your own pair of flimsy pre-revolutionary 3D glasses, (which I doubt you have) you’re going to see a lot of shots of people waggling sticks at the camera, having yo-yo’s thrown at them. You’ll also be treated to an overly long lingering shot of a crazy old man sticking an eyeball uncomfortably close to the screen. Steve Miner (who also directed Part II) returned to the director’s post to helm Friday the 13th: Part III and this new dimension of terror that continues straight after the events of Part 2.
.
The Higgins Haven Massacre
Just like its predecessor, the film opens with an extraordinarily long recap of the previous film. We see final girl Ginny (Amy Steel) running away from ‘Baghead Jason,’ trapped in the makeshift cabin Jason has been holed up in with his mother’s severed head lovingly affixed to a small alter. Ginny tricks Jason into thinking she’s his mother, by donning her sweater and generally berating the child-like minded serial killer. Before she can use her machete on him however, Jason sees his mummified mumma’s head and avoids her killing blow. Paul (John Furey) appears and begins wrestling with Jason. While Jason is distracted, Ginny hacks him in slow-motion with his own machete. They assume he’s dead, but we see Jason slowly moving off the screen. Cue: Opening Credits.
Originally, Friday the 13th Part III was supposed to focus on lone survivor Ginny Field, (Sorry, Paul) who checks herself into a mental institution after her traumatic escapade with the pillow-wearing, dungaree killer. The film would have been similar in that vein to the popular Halloween II (1981), with Jason tracking down Ginny in the hospital, but that idea was abandoned when actress Amy Steel declined to reprise her role. Perhaps she didn’t want to be typecast as the scream queen for this particular franchise, but by 1986 she was again up on screen evading a knife-wielding killer in the slasher parody April’s Fool Day (1986). There was also speculation that producers were worried fans would reject a Friday the 13th which didn’t follow the established formula.
I would love to find a script with this narrative, because the franchise may have steered in a different direction (or it could have died a horrible death right there and then). Every good franchise needs a protagonist the audience can root for. Alien (1979) had Ripley, A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) had Nancy and Halloween (1978) had Laurie. You could argue that Friday the 13th had Tommy Jarvis, but he didn’t appear until the fourth installment. Looks like Steel missed the boat on this one if the powers that be really wanted her as the series’ Final Girl. With 12 films, a whole bunch of novels, video games, and the short-lived television series under their belt though. it looks like they went the right way.
Our new group of young victims are as follows: New Final Girl Chris (Dana Kimmell), ‘Spanish Phoebe Cates’ Vera (Catherine Parks), hot and steamy couple Debbie (Tracie Savage) and Andy (Jeffrey Rogers), hippie potheads Chili (Rachel Howard) and Chuck (David Katims), and franchise favourite, the lovable self-deprecating prankster Shelly Finkelstein (Larry Zerner).
The group arrives at Higgins Haven, a cottage (with a barn!) a mere stones-throw away from Packanack cabin, where the previous slaughter took place. The Scooby Doo/Cheech and Chong gang meet up with country farm boy Rick (Paul Kratka). It’s quickly established that he and Chris had a romantic tryst during their last summer at the lakeside cottage, and Rick instantly tries to get back to where things left off by feeling her up. Not cool, man. Not. Cool.
Chris explains that she wants to get to know him again but he responds that there are only so many ‘cold showers’ he could take. Wowzer. He essentially behaves like this for the entirety of the movie (bar one scene when Chris recounts a traumatic experience) but the weird thing is the filmmakers seem to want you to empathize with this guy – like he’s the hero of the movie. Film of the time, I guess?
After some tomfoolery from Shelley (and without the slightest irony of axe-wielding maniac foreshadowing), we’re introduced to a group of bikers that marks the first time in the franchise we’re introduced to black actors. It’s just a shame that they turn out to be scumbags. All the while, Jason’s been hiding in the barn, looking menacing from an over the shoulder perspective. He dispatches of the bikers when they arrive at the cottage to take their revenge on Shelley and the gang, following an altercation at a shop in town. Don’t assume that Jason is here to protect anyone though. He quickly sets his sights on the college co-eds and, of course, things really ramp up when he dons the now iconic ice hockey mask for the first time.
People will argue what their favourite Friday the 13th movie is until the end of days. Did you like the characterization of the teenagers in Part 2 or 4? Did you simply enjoy the hack n’ slash nature of the original? Were you excited when Jason went to Hell? Some people just want to watch cheesy 80’s effects and have some popcorn while devouring grisly death sequences with their eyes. But something doesn’t sit right with the third outing. They could have gone a much deeper, darker route with Chris‘ that might have lead Mr. Vorohees‘ down a very sketchy road. I’m obviously talking about…
The Final Girl
Late in the film, we see Chris and Rick sharing some quality catch-up time together. Up until this point Chris has been hinting that something terrible happened to her but now she’s finally ready to share her story. Even after Amy Steel declined to return, it’s safe to assume that some fragments from earlier drafts were kept to highlight Ginny’s (now Chris’s) trauma from the previous movie.
Chris explains that, while on vacation, she came home late one night which caused her to have an argument with her folks. She fled her house and ran into the woods where she fell asleep under a tree. Some time later, she was awoken by the sound of footsteps. The footsteps belong to none other than Jason and he grabs at her legs as she struggles to get away. She goes on to explain that she woke up in her own bed the following morning, without any recollection of what transpired after she was captured.
So what happened here? It’s unlikely that she would have survived an attack by Jason, so how did she escape? The series has been known for its nonsensical dream sequences and poorly crafted plot devices, but this is a pretty big moment for Jason. There are theories that she was raped by Jason and there are novels that further explain the story, but some people on the film claim this ambiguous resolution was always planned since actually outright calling it a rape would be too much for audiences to take at the time. Others say Dana Kimmell who played Chris, was a devout Mormon and forced the producer’s hand since she was uncomfortable with going so far as to call it a rape scene. However, at the start of the film, a reporter states that “Reports of cannibalism and sexual mutilations are still unconfirmed, at this hour.” It would seem that someone in the production wanted Jason to have a much darker streak than his previous appearances.
There are many articles and essays about The Final Girl in horror films, but this one scene could have changed the balance of how viewers perceived Jason Voorhees as a child-like killing machine with mommy issues, into something far more dangerous and disturbing.
Friday the 13th Part III is a divisive film. The franchise needed a shot to the arm and ultimately it would be 3D effects supervisor Martin Jay Sadoff that inadvertently created a movie monster boogeyman. As it happens, Sadoff kept a bag full of hockey gear with him and the crew wanted a mask to avoid applying prosthetic make up on actor Richard Brooker all the time. This is the first film where we see Jason for an extended period of time, as opposed to keeping him in the shadows constantly. The plot is nonsensical, sure – the characters are paper thin and forgettable, the 3D effects are mostly a gimmick – but in the cannon of the series, it catapulted Jason to an iconic status. And for that, Part 3 will forever remain ingrained in fan’s minds.
How do you rank Friday The 13th Part III. Is it one of your favourites, or do you consider it one of the weaker additions to the franchise? Let us know in the comments below, over on Twitter, or in our Horror Group on Facebook!

High School/Lifestyle Headcanons
I thought giving this a try...
Taichi: Pretty well known among his classmates and obviously the star of the football team. A good amount of girls might have a crush on him because of his good looks but some may find him a little too loud. A total prankster and very goofy. Has a large group of friends to hang out with every now and then but prefers to spend lots of time with Koushiro, Yamato and Sora. Mostly Koushiro on days off. Likes to tease Joe about him studying forever but really he just wants him to loosen up a bit. He probably buys something (favorites sweets or drinks) on his way home to Hikari making up the excuse that he was just passing by. A favorite hobbie of his is planning with Takeru the next prank for Yamato. Pretty active, with initiative. He may not have Yamato´s cooking skills but he does well in that area and knows how to do a good damn omelette. Not so bad in school, you can tell he does his homework and studies the necessary but can be lazy and Sora is always reminding him when the next exam or project is gonna be. A pretty good strategic and analyses the situation very carefully. Doesn´t show it too much but he does care when his friends can´t make it to his soccer match or a little trip to the fair. He can be very carefree but sometimes he can pressure himself very hard.
Yamato: The Cool Guy. Or at least, that´s what he seems to be. Very good looking and all the girls in the school have a big crush on him. Want to attend his concerts and fangirl over him lots. Seems to be unapproachable but he is just a quiet person. People are intimidated by him at first but once you get to know him you see he is just a nice guy. Like Taichi, not so bad with his grades and is very organized with his schedule having a good balance between high school responsibilities and band practices. Loves music. So passionate to the point that he gets very stubborn and his mood changes constantly like the name of his band. A good cook. Always inviting Takeru to come over and taste his new dish. Gets scared pretty easily and hates horror films. Tries to maintain the cool image in front of his good friends but fails miserably.
Sora: The mother of the group. Reliable and caring. She could have been a class rep. Her classmates always know they can count on her. Likes to keep herself busy and although she is not the first one to take the lead and make some decisions she is always ready to create some cool stuff for the theme they are working on this years class cafe and so. Prefers to keep lots of things to herself and doesn´t tell anyone when she is in trouble. Wants to do it and resolve it herself but worries too much about others. She is always telling Taichi to be focused during class but knows he sometimes falls asleep so she makes sure to give him a copy of her notes. Telling Koushiro not to push himself so hard and gives him extra oolong tea. Checking on Joe and keeping him on good spirits. Hanging out with Mimi while shopping and talking about the latest. Advicing Takeru not to get in trouble on flirting with so many girls. Inviting Hikari to go with her to this new pastries shop. She and her mom have a better mother/daughter relationship and always spend time to talk and checking up on the other. Because of a lot of activities, she doesn´t play tennis that much like she used to but takes time to do some exercise by herself.
Koushiro: Kind of a loner, loves to be in his office a lot. Has a small group of friends in high school where they talk about the latest trends on technology. A prodigy on his field and very respected by his professors. Always curious, always doing research. Very awkward around girls and gets shy easily. Talks to lots of online friends and is more comfortable knowing his laptop is with him at all times. Likes to spends time with his family and is always making little surprises for them on special occasions. Hangs out with Taichi at his apartment always feeling very comfortable at the Yagami home and thankful when Yuuko makes his favorite meals when he is there. He might not show it but feels lowkey excited whenever he and Taichi are doing some kind of trouble together.
Mimi: Independent, strong headed and free spirited. Lowkey likes that she is still a bit spoiled by his parents. Does and says whats on her mind not caring what other people think about her. Hates when people are not truthful and don´t say the things they want to say or what they really feel. Likes to have fun and bring some of the America culture to the Japanese which sometimes can be amusing yet confusing to her classmates and can every now and then get her into trouble with some of the girls not sharing the same thoughts. Lots of boys have a crush on her but she´s somewhat oblivious to it. Has become stronger and tries not to cry in front of others. Loves fashion and even more going shopping trying new clothes and combining new looks. Very girly. Likes to experiment with food and although her choices can come off as weird, stated by Koushiro one time, she finds absolutely an incredible combination of flavors that needs to be put out in the world.
Joe: Responsible, very responsible. Feels pressured of what society expects from him but really he just want to makes his parents feel proud. Very smart, but struggles with his nerves that get the better of him and push himself sometimes a little too hard. Has a good amount of friends and dislikes that he cannot hang out with them that much now. His girlfriend is always texting him to take care of himself and relax. When he gets focused he can become very lonely and isolates himself to reach that goal on his own terms. Taichi and Sora are the ones who check on him the most and Mimi is the one who always tell him to drop the textbooks and go eat some at this new ramen shop. Even though he is the oldest of the group he likes when they all ask him how did it go or how is he and feels always included when they invite him to celebrate the good news. But in the end he is always giving some piece of advice to each of them when they most need it like telling Taichi some good options for his future career and comforts in every way he can.
Takeru: The little tease. Doesn´t get scared easily anymore and loves teasing the others for good fun. Very popular among his classmates and very flirty with the girls. Knows when to say the right words at the right time and is always advicing his big brother Yamato to control his impulsive nature. May not show it, but he is still a pretty sensible boy and hates when people he cares about the most get hurt. Likes to hang out with his friends. Pretty intuitive. Good grades. Probably has a secret online blog where he writes about his experiences and thoughts on some delicate matters making some controversial statements. Likes to be with Hikari and have a pretty good bond between each other. Knows when she is upset and knows exactly what to tell her even if sometimes it can hurt a little bit, but he cares about her very much that he only wants means well.
Hikari: A little tease too. Always making fun of Takeru´s little flings and even if she appears innocent, she loves to be cheeky. Sensible, always making sure her brother is okay, eating well and trying not to disappoint him. She has a good amount of friends, but feels more comfortable being around Takeru and confides on him in lots of things which she doesn´t feel she can do with her girl friends. Loves photography and keeps lots of albums of her memories with her brother, family and friends in a shelve. Really good grades. Very reliable among her classmates and boys tend to fall head over heels for her. Her health condition has become better but still can feel a little down every now and then which makes Taichi worry and tells her to take it easy. Likes to be organized and helps her mother tidy around the apartment. Likes sweets, specially ice cream, and is always happy when Taichi comes back with a little treat for her. Tries not to be a burden to others therefore think she can overcome everything herself not relying on others.

Blind date with the RFA + Unknown
You are not in the RFA and mystic messenger never happened
spoiler free
gender neutral
Check some of my other stuff in my Masterlist
feel free to talk to me
Common:
You are a long time single and your best friend knows this person that would fit you really well.
So they say you are a bit doubtful but well you had no date in ages so why not what is the harm ?
Zen
Your Friend was quite a prankster and literally made you have a blind date.
In a Dark dining restaurant (where its pitch black and the waiters are blind).
Well now you dressed up nicely for no real reason but you never been in a place like this and it seems exiting.
So you go in and you are guided to your place.
Its really something to be in a place like this the waiter tells you that your date has not come yet.

You like his Voice and you two order some drinks.
Zen offers you to pay for everything but you rather split the bill since you are not sure how this will turn out in the end.
He agrees to it but sounds a bit unhappy.
You talk about how your friend got you to do this in the first place and Zen tells you his story.
Your friend is a stage worker at the theater Zen has a play right now and your friends gets along with everyone so at some point Zen talked about how he wants a partner.
Then your friend told him about you and how cute you are and how single you are.
It made you giggle since Zen told this story in such a cute way and it made you half mad at your friend to kind of sell you to him.
You are really impressed over the fact that Zen is a actor and you tell him that you really love his voice and how much you want to see that play.
You wanted to see it anyway since you heard great thinks about the lead but you could not get tickets.
Zen offers you to get tickets to you so you see it but you feel like that you would abuse him for tickets.
He just laughs that off and says you have to see the play when you are that interested.
You thank him whole heartily and you tell him how nice he is.
You continue with your meal it tastes really good and you really like Zen without even seeing him.
It really shows as your hands accidentally touch and you are blushing and start to stumble over your words.
Zen thinks you are really cute because of that what embarrasses you even more.
At the end of the meal you really not want it to end and Zen feels the same way but you are worried since you have not seen each other.
He tells you to come to the play and then meet backstage after the play if you still like him.
Its a bit surprising to you but you agree.
Zen let´s you leave first.
You then go to the play a few days later and you are blown away after you seen it and Zen is the lead actor that is a huge surprise.
Of course you fall for him even more it makes you a bit nervous though since you feel so average compared to him.
You still go backstage and to your surprise he recognizes you and he is really happy to see you.
Zen asks you how you liked the play and of course you are full of praise for him.
He then asks you out for an other date and you agree.
Yoosung
Your friend setts this up as a game night.
So you and a few of your friends and the guy you should meet and some of his friends.
Its a bit strange for a date but then again you love Video games and maybe with more people around it will feel less awkward.
So you meet all up at your friends house.
Slowly the place up with more people and it ends up being more crowded then you thought.
Some people spread the word and somehow it turns into a party.
Your friend is not really opposed to this it kind of annoys you since you really wanted to play and meet some cute guy.
So you are a bit frustrated and can not really enjoy the party.
At some point you get a slight head pain and go outside to get some fresh air.
Its a bit cold but the air is fresh and clear plus there is no one outside.
Then you hear the door and you hope its not a couple or someone drunk.
Luckily its neither its a cute blonde guy with purple eyes.
He sees you and seems a bit flustered since you are alone here.
It seems like he thinks of just going back inside but you smile at him and he comes over to you.
You introduce yourself to him and he tells you his name is Yoosung.
He tells you he just came out here since its just to laud and crowded inside.
You agree to that and tell him how this was just suppose to be a game night and how you really wanted to play the games with some friends and a few new people.
Yoosung says it was the same for him and you start talking about games you find that your taste is quite similar.
You end up talking about lolol and you are quite impressed that he is second ranked in the game.
You played it but you have not enough time with studying.
Yoosung tells you about his struggles with studying and you both complain a lot about it.
To you it´s worth it though since you really want to make your dream carrier.
Yoosung finds that really awesome and wishes he had that much determination.
You tell him you should study together then sometime.
Yoosung thinks that is a great idea he is quite happy that this is not as awkward as he thought.
Since this was suppose to be some kind of blind date.
You then start laughing and Yoosung thinks he messed it up but no you tell him how it´s the same for you.
Then Yoosung gets it you where suppose to meet him.
Now he is kind of nervous but you smile at him and say it turned out way better then you thought.
Now Yoosung gets really embarrassed and you say he is cute what just makes it worth.
He tells you to not tease him and you say you will make it up to him on a date.
Yoosung agrees to this and now you are both blushing.
Jaehee
The only think that your friend told you was that Jaehee also had no date in ages.
Well you where in the same boat then.
You where meeting her in a coffee shop during her lunch break.
It did not really seem like a date spot to you but it was only your first meeting.
Maybe this was actual better for both of you.
You got a table and ordered some coffee while you waited since they not let you wait without ordering anything.
It takes a while for Jaehee to even show up she is very sorry and tells you how busy she is.
You feel like its a bad time then for a date but you offer her some coffee at least and tell her she can order something else too if she wants.
Jaehee accepts the coffee but pays the food herself.
She seems so stressed that you pretty much just talk over her job and over how awful her boss is.
You have quit some stress at work too everybody is worked up about that new project that starts soon.
So you know exactly what Jaehee is talking about even when her boss sounds even more demanding then yours.
Before you even know it the break is already over what is kind of sad but you bounded a bit least so you exchange numbers.
You feel like neither of you will even have time in the close future for a date anyway.
So you just had a nice coffee break it was really refreshing to let all that steam out though.
On the next day your huge Project is starting what is earlier then expected but apparently their was a huge push from above for that cat tie line
-Ties for cats is that a think? I should call Jumin about this lol-
You had no idea that was even something that people want but when the bosses want that then well.
You got even shoved with a new Project leader for this since the old one had a mental breakdown.
So you get introduced to your new Project head and it turns out it´s Jaehee.
It´s quite funny since you both complaint over the same person but you had much less to do with Jumin directly so your suffering was really small compered to hers.
Of course you both pretend that you not talked behind your bosses back and make a really good team.
Since even when the project is ridiculous you take your work serious.
Then the time for the presentation comes -after many sleepless nights because their was no time to sleep-
You really did what you could and Jaehee does really great with presenting everything.
Sadly Jumin is not happy with it what so ever he blames Jaehee for the bad presentation.
That somehow brings you over the edge.
For a very long time thinks just bottled up in you and at this point you don´t even care.
So you yell at Jumin for the stupid idea and how Jaehee worked so dam hard to make the best out of this stupid concept and how she does not deserve to be treated like this at all.
Heck no one does you really are though with his s+++ .
You are quitting !
You are fuming and you not even care if you just lost your Job.
But for what ever reason Jumin offers you a better position he is apparently impressed with your honesty.
Before you can think this proper threw Jaehee looks at you and then too Jumin.
And says “No we both are quitting. I feel the same way since a long time and I think now I finally gathered the courage to quit as well.”
Jumin just stares at both at you and you two just leave.
You almost regret it since well now you both have no job but Jaehee then tells you about her business idea and it sounds really great. So you start working together.
Jumin
You are not sure why your friend told you to dress so formal or why they where dragging you to their Bushiness party.
You felt like your friend was up to no good but maybe they just needed someone to go with them.
Even when they said that the one you suppose to meet will be here and this is the only way to meet him.
It makes you curious your friend just ever complains about work and now you get introduced to one of their coworkers.
As you arrive you see the party is just as fancy as your friend told you so you are glad you dressed nice.
It still feels like you are under dressed but you hope it goes well.
You meet your friend and you talk for s while.
It´s a more or less boring event and then your friend intrudes you to their coworker.
Then your friend goes their way to have fun somewhere else.
The Man turns out to be a very boring guy and he also is very unaware to the fact that he is boring you.
You really try to give him a chance I mean first impressions can be wrong.
So you spend some time with him you drink a bit he seems to drink a lot that makes him loosen up but sadly not in a good way.
First he opens a bit more up and he seems very self centered and then he starts to get touchy what of course makes you slap him at some point.
That gets the security guards attention and it turns out the guy is actual some important worker.
You figure it be pointless to say much with that fact you figure you will be kicked out and your friend will have a hard time because of that guy too.
It makes you feel really bad.
Then a tall male comes and asks what this is about the guards tell him that you just slapped this guy.
He turns to you and asks you if that is true you just say yes.
Then he continues to ask why.
You feel like he probably will not believe you but you tell him the reason anyway.
He seems to be a important person and you at least not want to make your friend look bad.
Your supposed date of course denies that and says you where just unhappy since he did not like you.
That guy even says how cheap you are it´s clear to see that you are easy to get.
You are shocked by this statement you are of course not super fancy dressed but you did your best.
It almost makes you tear up and it makes you angry.
The tall black haired man then looks at you and he disagrees with the boring guy.
He says that he kind of saw them earlier and it was clear he was hitting on you and not vice versa.
He then lets his guards take the guy away without adding anything else.
You look at the tall male and tell him thank you and you really not wanted to gather attention with what you did but after he touched you it just kind of happened.
He tells you that he would done it himself if he seen it.
You smile at him you are really glad that he said that.
He asks you if you want anything you are not sure if you should stay though now where that happened your friend maybe will get a backlash from his boss still.
He tells you to not worry about that and that you should stay and he even says you should spend the rest of the evening with him to keep you safe.
You find that very kind of him and agree and then you actual remember to introduce yourself and you feel awfully unpolite for that.
Actual he seems even more taken back by the fact that he did not tell you his name either.
So he fixes that oversight and tells you his name is Jumin.
You spend the rest of the evening with him and its actual really nice it feels like a real date and you even tell him that you would like to meet him again.
Jumin agrees to this and all turns out pretty nice for you.
At the end of the evening your friend finally finds you again and they are in a shock to find you with his boss.
You are surprised by this information of course and your friend really prays that you have no embarrassed them in front of Jumin.
Jumin just says that there is nothing to worry about he actual is grateful to your friend for bringing you here.
After the shock wears off on you , you agree with Jumin even when your friend has an awful taste in men it made you meet Jumin after all.
707 / Luciel
Your friend told you to meet the guy in a park that was nearby.
What sounded like a good way to get to know each other.
So you dressed up and where even a bit earlier their.
You where standing in the middle of a park their where plenty people around.
It was nice and sunny a perfect day for a date you thought.
Time passed no one showed up you got more nervous it was already a half hour after you where supposed to meet but their was no sign of the guy.
It was annoying you so you called the guy but nothing.
After a bit you tried again still nothing.
You gave up after almost a hour passed.
All this waiting made you kind of hungry and also a bit frustrated so you where happy to see a ice cream stand
It was such a nice day you where sitting on a bench you enjoyed the scenery you where still a bit annoyed by this set up.
You where quietly wondering what was wrong with you.
Why did you agree to go on a date in the first place ?
“ Sorry I have no idea” You heard a voice on the bench next to you.
You had not even noticed the guy sitting their you where highly embarrassed you had no idea that you just said that out laud.
“Sorry I was just speaking to myself.” You looked at him and you where hoping that you not look like a complete idiot.
“I figured that but I thought you would like it if someone answers you.” He looked at you with a cheery smile.
“ Yeah that's true when you talk with yourself your own answers are no help.” You tried to overplay your embarrassment with some sort of self irony.
“I know that issue all to well. I never answer myself when I talk to myself.” He looked way to serious as he said that.
What made you laugh somehow now you not felt that bad about today anymore.
He smiled at you it looked like it made him feel better to make you laugh.
You thought to yourself that he was actual kind of cute and he did not minded your weirdness at all.
At this moment you felt something dripping on your clothes it was the ice you completely forgot it and now it was dripping on your clothes.
You almost yelled out from surprise your clothes would be ruined you had to was them out quickly.
You looked around for a restroom but you saw none.
That got the attention of the guy he saw the ice cream on you and he showed you a restroom near by it was nice of him to go with you he waited outside so you could remove the ice and clean your shirt without anyone seeing you without it.
It was really nice of him you where so thankful you offered him a coffee or something.
He said he lives just from chips and dr.pepper.
Well you had no clue where they had those chips but near by was a kiosk that had dr.pepper.
You just remembered that because it was a bit strange that such a place had that.
He said you not need to get him anything as thank you but you insisted on it.
Plus at this point you used all cheap excuses to make him stay longer with you.
So you got him his can of dr.pepper and he drank it quietly and you thought he was a bit slower then needed with it.
You ended up talking with him about all kind of stuff turns out he really loves robots and so do you.
He even likes your silly dream about going to space to life on the moon you knew how unrealistic that was but you liked fantasizing about it.
You told him your name, he told you his it was quite interesting to you that he choose that name since its the devils name.
But his explanation made sense to you and it was so unique you would never have issues remembering it.
It was such a great time you both did not notice it became slowly dark.
You both knew that you had to say goodbye and probably never see each other again.
It was sad and you did not wanted that at all so decided to make a bold move.
You noted your number down and then you said “If you ever feel that someone should answer you when you talk to yourself then call me.” You looked at him with your widest smile.
He took it and added your number right away in his phone before seeing you off.
You where really hoping that he would contact you , their was still a chance that he would never call you after all.
then suddenly you phone made a beep sound from a message it said : ”Their is nothing wrong with you it more the opposite.”
You knew right away the message was from Luciel and it made you really happy.
Unknown
trigger warning for drugs - but not from unknown this time -
Your friend said the guy is in a club tonight they would introduce you.
Right away you had a bad feeling about this.
Yeah you wanted to date but this was just the wrong way.
Your friend though insisted on it they told you how nice and handsome the guy is and that if you not like him you still could have fun with your friend.
Their was no harm in it only some fun so you gave in and dressed for the night.
It was a big club their where so many people it was overwhelming.
You now really thought it was a bad idea but you now you where here you might as well gave it a shot.
Your friend introduced you to your date and your friend was right he was handsome.
Not really your type somehow he gave up a bad wipe but you just thought you are to suspicious.
He was not a bad person you told yourself and you tried your best to talk to him what really made not much sense since it was just too loud.
From the little you gathered he was not that interesting to you but well at least he was nice enough.
At some point your friend talked with someone too and the guy asked you to go dance.
You where in a club after all and at least your friend had fun with their random hookup.
So you agreed and danced with him he was a bit too close to you for comfort so you not lased that long.
You where fast back on your table pretending you got a bit dizzy you chatted a bit more with some people and then you had to use the bathroom.
Somehow you really started to feel dizzy now maybe you had a drink to much.
It was really warm too and maybe it was just time to get home.
You told your friend who was a bit sad but they still had fun so they wanted to stay.
You headed out to get yourself a taxi but then you felt even more dizzy and had to lean against the wall.
You never felt like this before you felt like loosing your senses at this point you knew that something was really wrong.
Your supposed date mixed something in your drink.
-protip never leave your glass unwatched and never accept drinks from anyone also ever go together with someone you trust-
You coursed at yourself for being so stupid you never should had come here in the first place a date in a place like this.
Now it was too late for regrets you saw the guy coming towards you.
You could not even more anymore fear was in your eyes you thought on your friend where their in danger too ?
The guy was taking your smartphone from you and pulled you along you tried to fight but ypou had no strength.
You said no over and over as loud as you could then someone noticed you and you where praying that that person was going to help you.
You where in luck since that person was coming towards you and started asking the guy you where with whats up.
The guy said you are just drunk he was getting you home.
You denied that you weakly asked the stranger for help and that your friend is maybe in danger too.
Your vision was already blurry at this point so you barely saw the stranger you just saw the was dressed black and had white hair.
The stranger waited not long and hit the guy you where with forcing him to run away.
You thankfully smiled at the stranger.
He took your smartphone and used it to call a cap for you after it was their he called your friend who was unaware of the whole situation.
He stayed with you keeping you up till your friend arrived.
You faintly heard him saying how stupid you are for getting in this mess and how you need to stop trusting everyone so easily.
You agree with him and say next time when you meet someone you are more careful and you tell him how nice he is.
Your friend finally comes and there are feeling so awful for all of this they promise to bring you safe home and stay with you.
Before you drive off you thank the stranger once again and tell him you would like to see him again.
The stranger smiled at you as your cap drove off.
Little did you know that he hacked in your smartphone and made you download a mysterious dating app.
Unknown decided that you where perfect for the plan you where such a easy target and you where so kind too you deffently would fall into the trap.
You could not remember anything the next morning other then that the date was awful.
It took you a bit to try out that messenger your friend told you about.
