[ swanatello ] ->
Donnie had found that now, he almost didn’t mind sunrise. He didn’t enjoy it, per se. But he wasn’t sure if he hated it anymore, either.
At first, it had been awful.
Every single morning, like clockwork, as soon as sunrise approached, all he could feel was fear seeping through every corner of his body. It pressed in tight until it filled him up and forced him rigid and sharp, searing the backs of his eyes and the curve of his neck. Every morning, the only thing he knew was that something bad was about to happen. He didn’t really remember those moments. All he remembered was feeling, more than anything, that he had to get back to his lake. That he had to get home.
(He did remember coming to, after the transformation was over and the panic eased off. They never talked about it, but everyone would always be looking at him with these faces that told him plenty. Every time they’d be all teary-eyed and shaky. And he’d wake up pinned in the firm press of Raph’s big hands, careful and gentle but still so tight it was almost painful. Sometimes, some of them would be bloodied, and he knew they’d never say it but he also knew it was his fault.)
The worst part was that he already was home. He knew that. He knew he was with his family. He knew that he, Hamato Donatello, was finally back where he belonged.
He hated how hollow the victory felt.
No matter how long he looked, he couldn’t quite find any joy in it. He wasn’t happy or relieved. He wasn’t lonely or mournful, either, wasn’t missing the lake or longing for its company. Mostly, he was just… tired.
He just wanted to sleep.
The longer he was here, the more he adjusted, and the easier the routine was. He didn’t panic like that anymore. The fear never quite went away, rising up red hot and swollen in his throat over the horizon each and every morning with the sun, but at least they didn’t have to hold him down anymore. At least he didn’t hurt them.
Either way, they always stayed with him.
“Leo?”
There were two minutes left. Even if he wasn’t staring down the clock, he’d still know. He’d feel it.
“Yeah?”
And that was why, really. Why he couldn’t quite find it in himself to mind the sunrise.
“It’s almost time.”
Even if it was fear. At least at sunrise, he felt something.
“I know,” Leo soothed, shifting slightly across the bed to sit a bit closer to him, nudging Donnie ever-so-softly with his shoulder. “Don’t worry. I’m not going anywhere.”
But Donnie never worried about that. He knew Leo wouldn’t leave. He knew he’d stay. He knew that nothing bad would happen— that he wouldn’t die. That it wouldn’t even be painful. He knew that at the end of it, whoever was with him with scoop him up and hold him in their lap. He knew they’d pet his feathers and talk to him all quiet and soft, gentle and low until he fell asleep. He knew they’d still be there when he woke up again.
It never stopped the fear. It still couldn’t stop the jump in his heart rate and the hitch to his breath, running off ahead of him as if to scout for trouble. It still never kept all his muscles from coiling up tight, pulled taut across his skeleton, bracing for impact. It had yet to prevent his hands from trembling every morning— so bad that his brothers almost invariably ended up hanging onto him, wrapping his hands up with their own to keep him steady.
“It’s okay,” Leo insisted, squeezing his hands. “You’re fine, Dee. Deep breaths with me, yeah? Nothing is bad is gonna happen. I’m not gonna leave.”
And Donnie knew he wouldn’t. That was never what he was afraid of.
At first, he would panic every morning. His brothers would have to hold him down. He’d black out. He would hurt them.
It wasn’t like that anymore. It had gotten better. The more time passed, the less horrifying it was, and the better he could bear it.
He thought maybe that was what he was actually afraid of.
That maybe, one day, enough time would pass that even when the sun rose in the mornings, he still wouldn’t be able feel anything at all.

there's no way the bathroom at peppino's pizza is actually that big but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . hey ummm anyway.... i care them...... anyway there's a lil ramble on my take on fake pep's like psyche or whatever in tags on the og post if ur into that kinda thing :y
hey! it's a series! fake peppino world tour: [noise] [noisette] [peppino]<- u are here [gustavo] [gerome] [noisette again]
#ramble after realtags yeag. shoutout to serrangelic btw suggesting the silhouettes thing bc i would have Died otherwise#pizza tower#peppino spaghetti#fake peppino#gustavo and brick#arting#pizzaposting#so anyway i think fake peppino has like. a general awareness that he is supposed to Be Peppino and that he was Made to do that#and likewise he does generally try to...do that. the thing he does NOT realize is hes like really goddamn bad at it#not to be mean but like...c'mon. they are pretty distinctly different kinds of guys even beyond the physiology yknow.#he's neither on-brand nor fooling anyone dsjdsjjkgfsd. BUT!#since the rest of the cast generally likes him [at least as I play it] he thinks hes doing just fine#he's like 'oh they r happy with me so i must be getting a good grade in being peppino :)'#so getting told that 'yeah you actually really suck at that but that was never the reason people liked you'#and told that by og model peppino no less--yknow THE guy he's supposed to be living up to#who's already a bit intimidating for that and who ALSO totally wrecked him TWICE in the tower#making him acutely familiar with just how formidable the guy is and how much there IS to live up to....#it's a Moment for sure. not really a sad or hurt one though. just... contemplative.#thinking abt people liking him for being the guy he's already naturally been being even though that guy is Not Peppino#i don't think he's gonna be super broken up about realizing he has a bad grade in peppino given everything else hes got now#nor do i really think he cares enough to go like reinvent himself or whatever after the fact#he seems to b pretty clearly having fun with it already so i think he just keeps doing that#and in some cases he still has the pre-installed peppino traits/instincts like to cooka da pizza. and that's fine#is this projection. yes. but if youve been following me awhile you know most of my character writing is ghdhfdgf#gonna kinda expand on all this in the gerome one which is...one after next. itll be a bit but man.#anyway peppino will never admit to anyone and especially not himself that he's gotten a little attached to the guy. hee hoo#pep tends to be kinda surly but he certainly has his ways of showing he cares. all of which are on display here#''that thing is not my son'' says man currently watching thing's antics with the 'bemused dad' arms crossed pose. yeah ok buddy.#gus is totally onto him already but hes not gonna say anything.#if u read all this ur prize is not having to go decode fp's rot13. his lines are ''meant to be you...?'' and ''wrong question.''

Being ace can be pretty isolating at various times, for varying reasons that I don't feel like I have to explain because if you are ace, you probably get it.
#asexual#ace#pride#vague post but you know..*gestures to nothing*#i dont think i even need to expand on this#aromantic#could be thrown into this as well#things are just sometimes frustrating when people dont get it#if you read tags cook bc here we go a bit#there is always this talk of being left behind or being forgotten about or whatever#and yeah its true and when things happening almost in succession that makes it even more aware and apparent that yeah you kinda do get left#behind a bit*#so many ppl want marriage and or kids and its like#what about the people that want to hold on to things as they currently are?#to friends and books and cats and fictional feelings#and the way some ppl you know talk about how people gradual drift apart?#like thats a full on decision#thats not always a mutual thing#people leave at times and another person that might not be ready to end that connection with a person has to navigate their way through it#on their own#but like society is so weird to people that dont want the predictable life path#as you get older questions become are you married#do you have kids like its expected#where are the questions like whats the latest book youve read#whats your current favorite fandom#what makes you happy or brings you joy or whats a good thing about today?#not sure where im cycling down into with this bc theres too much to touch on#but not everyone wants sex or kids or marriage or crippling responsibilities of adulthood#sometimes we just want a hobbit hole to disappear into#a friend to text or pizza to eat or something funny to laugh at

jj maybank isn’t toxic in a way most people expect. He doesn’t care what you wear, he doesn’t hate your friends or try to control your life in any way like that. But he has a real mean streak, it’s why he chooses to be so sweet and relaxed because he knows how he gets when he’s backed into the corner. He knows how to pick at your insecurities and throw the sacrifices he’s made for you back in your face. (It doesn’t matter if you never asked for them in the first place). It’s just because he loves you so much the thought of you leaving makes his world spin off its axis. Doesn’t matter if the reason he saw you talking to your ex was to get him to leave you alone, he’s still gonna beat him half to death in front of you.
When you get home the look in his eyes will still be wild and he’ll have blood in his mouth when he kisses you. So you push him away and that grin turns cruel. That’s when it starts. That mean streak in him. You’re a real stuck up bitch you know. He’s goading you, doing his best to make it stick. After all I’ve done f’you, you’re just gonna leave? Just like that? I beat the absolute shit outta someone for you. Never mind you never said anything about leaving him. Never mind you never asked him to do that. Such a fucking slut I shoulda kicked your ass to the curb when I had the chance, I’m starting to see why everyone else did.
The one does stick. And as much as you love him, you hate when he gets like this and you just need a second. Because he hates when he gets like this too, it’s like an out of body experience, hearing himself spit whatever venom he can at you.
So you turn to leave, just for a second. He crumbles, eyes watering, voice shaking. He starts to beg. Like clockwork. W-where are you going? Come on sugar, you know I didn’t mean it. Please don’t do this…please. You can’t go, I need you, I don’t know what I’ll do if you go. You let him cage your body against the door, his arms wrapped around your thighs keeping you in place, his face pressed against your stomach soaking your shirt in tears.
He never says he’s sorry. To be honest he doesn’t know how to. So he shows you instead, it ends the same way every time. You’ll make up on the living room floor, raw and wild. He’ll, slobbering kisses pressed against your skin and his strong ringed fingers will press your thighs to your chest. The way he fucks after a night like this is like he’s trying to ruin you for anyone else. The way he moans into your mouth like he’s burrowing into your soul. Fuck sweetheart you can’t leave me. Promise me you won’t leave.
#jj maybank#jj maybank x reader#jj maybank prompt#jj maybank headcanon#im still getting into the swing of things so its kinda crap#just gimme time 😩 i wanna expand on this one tho#✨.txt

IDK if you've ever said anything about it, but in the Lights Out AU, what was Wally's first reaction on realizing that Frank was alive and he wasn't alone anymore? I imagine it was...quite emotional
i Haven't talked about their Initial Reunion yet, no! but yes, it was very emotional! there were certainly many emotions!
namely: fear, confusion, shock, and nearly killing your friend with an oversized baseball bat <3
#im trying to work on a mini comic to expand on this but my art Isnt Arting Correctly#so this will have to do for now#but to put it Short and Simply#frank: WHAT THE FUCK ITS JUST ME!!! ITS ME!!!#wally: oh oops heyyyyy totally thought you were one of the Things <3 my bad <3#wally: ....#wally: HOLY SHIT? FRANK?!#aaaaaand scene#wh lights out au#scribble salad#rambles from the bog#obviously its more complicated and less... jokey than that#i have the scene laid out nicely in my head#but putting it to 'paper' is a challenge!#there are factors to include#like how frank thinks everyone in the storage room is dead & how wally hasnt spoken more than a few mumbled words in a Long time#wally at this point has essentially lost his sense of self and basically just goes through his 'routine' like a robot#so it takes a second for his mind to kinda... reboot in a sense#and in that second frank nearly dies for realsies#haha thats... thats funny actually. Nearly. ha. the irony.#but uhhhh yeah frank really goes Through It for a bit#especially the immediate waking up through running into wally#or more like wally runs into him! purposefully! with the bat!

BSD fashion au
They had cooped themselves up in Chuuya's living room, trading ideas, looking at magazines Mori had given them, looking for different styles they could try, bickering over dresses, suits, or whatever else caught the other's attention just for the sake of annoying each other.
Time stretched on until morning, the living room having been turned into a battle field with papers, pens, and magazines scattered everywhere.
They seemed to have calmed down halfway through, sitting together in front of the couch.
Doodling rather than actually trying to get a design down on paper while drinking their coffee
(That dazai made Chuuya get, complaining about how bad a host he was being.)
Arguing without any actual heat behind their words
Just in their own little world, behaving like the teenagers they were.
#this took way too long to finish#not sure if I'll expand on this au#i just had this specific scenario in my head#so i wanted to do it#btw if the text is kinda weirdly written sry its like the first thing ive ever actually wrote something#bsd#skk#soukoku#bungo stray dogs#bsd fanart#dazai osamu#nakahara chuuya#fashion au#i guess

Thinking of...
A Secret Relationship with Lucifer!
Lucifer and you didn't mean for it to be a secret! Honest! It just is easier this way sometimes
Lucifer and you just kinda fell in love slowly till one day you two just kissed, and things kinda happened
So now you love each other in private, which is what would happen anyways
Lucifer, who invites you into his office after you have done something to warrant "getting in trouble" for a lecture, buts it's really to hang out
Lucifer, who you help diligently with the Sisyphean task that is his paperwork in hopes that he can get a day off, or at least go to bed on time
Lucifer, who you unwillingly say goodnight to because if you stayed the night in there his brothers would start to notice
Lucifer, who loves to kiss you quickly when no one is looking and walks away like nothing happened and leaves you breathless
Lucifer, who allows you to take pictures of him but if they get leaked he will not be happy. Those pictures better be underneath lock and key
Lucifer, who slowly wishes he could hold your waist and keep you close to his side when he watches a demon flirt with you in the halls
Lucifer, who wonders if the convenience of keeping this secret outweighs the want of showing you off
Lucifer, who then thinks about how willingly you allowed your relationship be kept locked away in his office, shunned in the shadows, because it makes him happy
Lucifer, whose noticed how you wish to kiss him, hold his hand, slot your body next to his sometimes, but you restrain yourself
Lucifer, who finally tells you that he's tired of not being able to show you off like you deserve. Your not a dirty secret, your his lover, and he takes pride in you as much as himself
Lucifer, who at the next big public event Diavolo insisted on having, decided to have the two of you match
Lucifer, who dances the first dance with you, despite all of his brothers protests
Lucifer, who at the end, pulls you into a dip and kisses you, infront of everyone, because they need to know your his, and he is yours
#*gripping the sink* you're normal you're normal you're normal you're normal#he just seems like a secret relationship kinda guy#not cause he doesn't love you its just easier not to deal with all the people#then he has Regrets over the little things#may expand into a full fic later oughhhhhhhughhh#obey me x reader#obswd x reader#lucifer x reader#obey me x you#obswd x you#bunny's.game.collection

You know, even ignoring the whole "vampirism can be cured" thing, if we want a spell or enchanted item that lets vampires walk in the sun and dodge other weaknesses and drawbacks I'm pretty sure Gale - prodigy who caught the eye of the Mother of Magic as a child, had to be told he can't teach every specialisation, archwizard - can just... make one? Even if he's not recovered enough from having his magic stripped to cast a spell himself, he knows the theory well enough to lay the foundations for somebody else to cast.
Like, magic is basically a science, all spells were researched and created by a wizard at some point. Magic that protects vampires from the sun already exists in BG canon. This is perfectly achievable.
I think Gale would have a great time puzzling it over and infodumping about it.
The price is that Astarion has to get a migraine forcing his dead braincells to pay attention.
#Or we could just consult the Church of Azuth; magical research and expanding magic is their Thing#If needs be we shall simply manipulate another high level spellcaster#Elminster kinda owes us a favour right?#Can we blackmail Alustriel or Blackstaff somehow?#I wonder if Halaster could be convinced... the cost would probably be hilarious#babbling#/astarion#/gale

[id: two digital drawings of a rain world oc, the current. they're a black, scrawny slugcat with tall ears, several cyan-tipped antenna across their body, and a blocky cyan pattern on their tail. in the first drawing he is sitting down, holding a spear which he has set on the ground in front of him. they are leaning their weight heavily on it, their face partially hidden by their arm. they're peering over their shoulder, glaring.
in the second drawing, the current is on all fours, their back arched and their head lowered, their face angrily scrunched up. all of the cyan bits on his body, including his eyes, are glowing, and sparks of electricity dance on his antenna. end id]

I often wonder about the quote-unquote logistics of Corvo the Black/Emily the Butcher endings. Emily makes more sense to me, in a way, carving her way through the empire only to come back with blood caked under her fingernails and realising that she did everything her father refused to do 15 years ago. but why did Corvo have a similar choice?
what happens to the statues later? does Emily keep her father trapped in stone? does Corvo look at his daughter, frozen in the moment and considers freeing her? is he at his deathbed when he finally reaches out and cups Emily's cheek, freeing her into a carcass of an empire that he gutted for her, in her name, in the name of her mother?
when I first heard of the endings I thought that if you reach very high chaos, you are locked into this choice - Corvo or Emily tries to free the other and the stone just doesn't budge. they are trapped. the quest is over but the world knows that the bloodshed was extreme and this is the punishment they have to face
#li.txt#dh#dishonored#kinda like the high chaos brigmore witches ending#there is no reason for corvo to kill daud if you finish BW in high chaos. but he still does. because the world Knows#but the very Active choice of the player and by extension the character to take the throne and keep their last family locked in stone....#its certainly a choice. and it makes me wonder about many a thing#i really wish we got more info#karnaisbear mentioned that itd be cool if we got comics expanding on alternate endings and like arkane. arkane can we please get those#I just really wanna know What It Was Like to live under the rule of Emily or Corvo in the very high chaos endings#and the fact that it seems like they can still free the other person? that adds so much more angst and tension to it#is there a time limit? do years pass and does corvo grow old and weary and thinks that yes#he has done his job and he has done it well. and the empire is righted and he can hand it back to emily now#and he cups her cheek and it remains cold marble#and all he did was for nothing#and he cries#(can u tell ive been reading thru the corvo the black tag)#not to mention something similar to that but with emily!!#imagine she grows old! older than corvo was when he was frozen!#the century is coming to a close when she finally frees him and she is older so much older and corvo will have to live with losing her#in every single impossible way he has lost her#and then he gets to bury his daughter#these tags got so dark wtf

Beryl Shores HCs - Sandborn Moores
// why do i call these headcanons when it’s my canon? hmm
// anyways a little more on the sirens and their relationships with the actual town itself!
- Moondrop and Sunrise know the towns residents by heart. Their names, their families, their personalities, etc. Anyone deemed too “nasty” make for easy pickings and have plucked the island population to a very small few they deem tolerable, mostly attacking sailors and travelers these days
- they gossip like they don’t already know what’s happening as it happens and also haven’t already predicted it 3 days before it happens
- The majority of the townsfolk have kind of just accepted “yea there’s something in the water,” they don’t know what but they don’t really care atp . just don’t investigate anything weird, don’t litter, and it’s fine
- Some of the residents even talk to the sea, telling stories, venting and asking for advice. They’ll never get a response, but Sunrise enjoys it and Moondrop secretly treasures it . Who knows, maybe the person that’s been bothering you may suddenly “disappear”?
- Moon likes to fuck with people with voice mimicry, even when not intending to kill. You’re just walking around and randomly hear your mom scream .
- Sun and Moon both enjoy sometimes swimming along secretly with people taking walks and under them in the sea
- fishing trips often go well on full moons (coughs at Moons moodswings) and new moons almost always are disastrous, so the fishers of the island have formed little routines, routes and traditions surrounding the tide and moon phase
- surfers are literally the funniest things in the world to them . look at what those humans have to do to mimic a fraction of our power . yank the board right out from under their feet for the audacity /j
- It took them both way too long to comprehend cooking. why are you putting that meat on a fire what the fuck are you DOING ITS BURNING and then they managed to snag a cooked scrap and were just like “oh”
#falls down the stairs#I hope these things are interesting! :’)#I soon plan to expand more on the actual character dynamics and stuff but for now#it’ll mostly be the headcanons as I build up courage#this has been kinda nerve wracking but in a good way!#dca mer au#fishposting#headcanons#fnaf mer au#fnaf mermaid au#mermoon#mer au#mermaids#mermaid culture#siren!sun#siren!au#sirens#siren! moon#beryl shores#meme

At first my friend told me there was A LOT of Destiel fics out there when she told me Cas and Dean never kissed in the show. I loved reading about them. I tried wattpad and fanfiction.com first, then I discovered AO3. I realized I preferred how AO3 worked. But then I was frustrated because it's hard to find something you want to read.
So at some point, I started writing alone in my room on my computer what I wanted to read. I thought I knew I'll never post it because I wasn't a writer, so why would I post that? No one would want to read it, so I wrote for myself for a little while, few months I'd say.
But then I thought 'meh it's written maybe I could share it and see how it goes'. So I created an AO3 account (I created my Tumblr blog before that). Then I posted my first fic, then another one and more. Now I've reached 28 and it's not over. I have more drafts on my computer, a loooong list of other ideas.
But I kept telling myself that I won't take part to fandom events because I like writing on my own with no schedules and no pressure. And then I took part to the 5k for 5 May event. My fic is now in the Masterlist.
So I guess never say never. I applies this saying a lot in my life lately, especially with Destiel and how it changed me.
I think I'll never wrote AU fics, but who knows? Even I don't.
#when I say destiel changed me#I'm not kidding#I actually have an idea for an au that doesn't want to leave me#it's a summer holydays au#so really who knows what's next#I also have tons of other ideas for canon fics#but also no time to write so there's that#anyway I can't trust myself with what I think is true about me#destiel expands my limits#it makes me try new things#and I kinda like it#I never got so inspired before#there's nothing like it#I hope it'll go on#writing fanfiction#destiel#deancas#castiel#dean winchester#my destiel fanfic

#thats my honest reaction 😐#to be fair ive only seen 20 minutes of the s1 finale bc my parents are watching it but. mmmmm kinda mid#like. the casting is definitely an improvement since the last time they tried a live action but it feels like the writing falls flat#or maybe im being harsh bc ive only heard negative criticism on it beforehand. but fr anytime u bring up the original its already#good and not just because its the original. so much fucking detail went into it to the point of someone noticing azula wielding mai's knive#to how well thought out irohs character is used as a way of uniting the cast especially as zukos foil#i heard that sokkas sexism was toned down and i have to agree that feels like a cheap move. like i get WHY they think it would be better#but its not about how that reflects on real world its about how it affects the story. sokka starts out as a misogynistic asshole because#it makes it that much more impactful when he changes. toning that down makes it flatter and makes his character development weak#and someone pointed out they didnt even make him wear the kyoshi warrior uniform and i know it feels like such a small detail but#come on man. they did that in the original because not only does it help him really walk in their shoes - wearing 'feminine' clothing and#makeup and having suki explain its significance but it also ties in with the shows theme of harmony and intersectionality#i was also disappointed when they had the fire sages explain how the water tribe draws power from the moon because in the original it was#IROH who explained it to aang and everyone else BECAUSE we as the audience is under the impression hes with the 'bad guys'#and it builds up to how he learned from the other nations which reconciles his past as a war general and his character overall#AND its an excellent starting point for the cast and audience to understand how the nations arent as closed off as you would think#plus you would think its only fire nation doing propaganda but they expanded on that with earth kingdom censorship and it WORKS#a lot of things in the live action also feel arbitrary like. they gave momo a near death experience for 5 minutes for no reason#im firmly on the stance of bringing back filler moments instead of putting major events right after each other so that u give your#audience a sense of time passing and to really absorb the story. but i think thats more like shock value than filler and yeah its a small#thing to gripe about but those things build up and its really annoying. the thing abt avatar filler moments is that however small#its at least meaningful. hell even the beach episode emphasizes how isolated zuko and his friends are as child soldiers#i also swore to never watch the first live action since it was that bad but i really liked the stylized tattoos they used for aang#anyway. those arejust my thoughts. im not gonna watch the rest because im a ride or die for the original aftr growing up and#rewatching it at least 20 times as a kid. but theres definitely room for improvement and i wish ppl wouldnt take it as 'better' just cuz#netflix is adapting it. i wouldve killed for them to just reanimate the entire avatar series and touch NOTHING ELSE no redub#no changes to the story. just reanimate the thing and leave the rest alone and youd make easy money just the same#ALSO its very jarring not hearing jack desena and dante basco voicing sokka and zuko cause their voices were the most recognizable to me#i get that its because its live action but im allowed to feel a little sad abt that. and uncle irohs accent was really soothing#yapping
