Please tell me that with 'Johnny and Kitty pocess Superman and Batman' That they are either on a date or go on a date after a fight? Please this needs to happen

@britcision also asked about this one!

So I was looking through what I wrote of this and...it's not that good. It's based on a prompt from back in Nov 2022 and I was still figuring things out back then and needed to rewrite everything I wrote at least once. It's less crack than you'd expect from the title, I'm afraid.

So I'm gonna do part of that rewrite. Because I'm insane and don't have self control. 🤣

Anyway, the prompt is from @zeestarfishalien and can be found here. Oddly it doesn't have half as many notes as I remember it having. Huh. Guess I thought it had more because I latched onto it so strongly.

Anyway, enjoy!

"Danny!" yelled Jazz from downstairs.

Danny froze for just a moment. That was Jazz's something-is-wrong voice. He dropped through the floor to get to her that much quicker. "What happened?" he demanded.

She just pointed to the TV where a news reporter was standing in a city. Behind her, Batman stood next to the open driver's side door to the batmobile while Superman floated in the air a few feet away with his arms crossed.

"Don't look at me like that, baby," said Batman.

"I will look at you however the hell I want. You forgot our date, asshole!" yelled Superman back.

The reporter grinned at the camera. "Looks like quite the lover's tiff we've stumbled upon! Who would have ever suspected Batman and Superman of being in a relationship?"

Behind her, Superman used his heat vision to shoot at Batman who cursed loudly before jumping into his car and speeding off. Superman huffed and flew in the opposite direction. Jazz muted the TV while the reporter continued making speculations about Batman and Superman's relationship. Danny stared at Jazz in horror.

"That was—"

"Yeah. Yeah, I think it was."

Danny closed his eyes and thought about the half finished essay he had upstairs and the history test he had the next day and how his parents would be home in an hour. He wanted to cry.

"I have to go to Gotham."

"I'll take care of our parents. Have you had the flu yet this year?"

Danny's laugh had a hysterical edge to it. "Tuck's been keeping track of my excuses. Ask him. I'll just…" Danny let the sentence trail as he transformed and flew out of the house without another word.

Even flying as fast as he could, he didn't arrive in Gotham until night had fallen. He tried to sense Johnny or Kitty or listen for the chaos that always followed them, but the city was so big.

After over half an hour of searching with no luck, Danny was sitting on a roof with his head buried in his knees trying not to cry. He only had so many hours before he had to be back in Amity for school. If he missed any more days, he'd get a suspension and his parents would be livid.

Just then, the clock tower chimed ten. Danny lifted his head to look at the tall building, one of the tallest in the city. He might not have any idea how to find Batman, but surely the other heroes would. Maybe he could get their attention?

In a matter of minutes, he was floating above the clock tower. With a deep breath, he shot an ectoblast up into the sky. Two minutes later, he repeated the action.

Not long after his fifth blast, two grapple hooks attached to the tower near his feet and seconds later he was facing Batman and Robin.

Danny immediately fell into a fighting stance. "Johnny, I'm not going to let you get away with this. Get out of him. Now."

But instead of calling him a do-gooder nerd, Batman pulled out a batarang and held it ready to throw. "I'm not this Johnny," he growled.

Danny relaxed and sighed in relief. "Oh thank the ancients, you got him out. I'm so, so sorry, Batman! I know you and the Justice League are relying on me to keep the ghosts from escaping Amity. Johnny and Kitty must’ve gotten past me. How'd you get Johnny out? Were you able to help Superman? Kitty is at least reasonable most of the time so I hope she didn't give you any trouble. Where are they now? I'll just collect them and bring them back to the Realms."

Robin pulled out his sword and pointed it at Danny. "What do you know of Fa— Batman's condition? Who is this 'Johnny' you speak of?"

Danny's core stuttered in his chest. The kid couldn't mean… He looked past the blade pointed at him towards Batman. "You… aren't Batman. Are you? You're covering for him while Johnny is overshadowing the real one."

Batman put a hand on Robin's shoulder. "Lower the sword, Robin." To Danny, he said, "I think you owe us some explanations."

Danny buried his head in his hands and tried to bite back the tears. He was so tired. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. This is my fault. They got past me and I failed. I'm so sorry."

“Desist with your groveling and explain!” ordered Robin.

“Right, yeah. Of course. Sorry.” Danny looked up, but the stars were hidden behind smog and lights. He sighed. “I’m Phantom, of course. Responsible for monitoring the portal in Amity and keeping ghosts from coming through and causing problems on Earth. Also for stopping human hunters from hurting any ghosts. Johnny and Kitty, two ghosts, must have gotten past me. I’m careful, I swear. We set up an alarm on the portal so I know the moment someone comes through, but I missed them somehow. I…maybe they came through at the same time as someone else? I’ve had to deal with Skulker and Boxy so far this week. And Queen Dora came for a visit and one of Pandora’s people stopped by to drop something off. So if Johnny and Kitty came through at the same time… Pariah curse it, I should’ve realized. What a stupid design flaw. I’ll be working on a fix for that as soon as I get out of school tomorrow. I’d do it sooner, but I’ve a test you see. And if I miss any more class, I’ll get a suspension, and then my parents really will kill me again.”

Danny winced when he saw Robin’s fingers twitch towards his sword again. “Sorry! No more excuses. It’ll be fixed ASAP, promise. Um, Johnny is generally into motorcycles, but I think he saw the Batmobile and wanted to take it for a ride so he overshadowed Batman. From what I saw on the news, he blew off a date with Kitty to do it so she’s pissed and followed him and ended up overshadowing Superman. Probably so she could use his powers on top of her own to punish Johnny.” He trailed off and waited for the yelling to start.

But they were silent.

Danny shifted from foot to foot. “Again, I’m really sorry. I know you rely on me to keep this from happening and I swear it won’t again. But if you tell me where you think Batman is, I’ll go retrieve Johnny. Same with Superman and Kitty. I need to get this wrapped up by four, maybe four thirty, so I can get home in time for school to start.” He couldn’t hold back a yawn. He just wanted to sleep.

Batman and Robin exchanged a glance and Batman put away his weapon. “I’ve never heard of you or this Amity before. You’re a kid, who is your Justice League mentor? Why aren’t they here?”

“I… What? Justice League mentor? What are you talking about? All of my mentors are ghosts.”

Robin snorted. “Who informed you that it was your responsibility to monitor this portal that allows these ghosts to invade? Why are you the only one preventing attacks such as this?”

Danny bristled. “I’m not alone! Sam and Tucker and my sister help me!”

“Are they kids like you?” asked Batman.

“If by like me you mean ghosts, of course not. They’re fully alive. I’m the only ghost of the group.”

“No,” said Batman after a pause. “That’s not what I meant. I wanted to know if they were teenagers who still go to school like you or if they were adults you worked with.”

Danny shrugged. “Jazz is starting college next year, but yeah. They’re my friends.”

Batman let out a long breath. “Right. And why do you think the Justice League is expecting you, specifically, to monitor this portal?”

Danny threw up his hands. “Because you told me that!” He saw Batman open his mouth to say something and quickly added, “Not you specifically, but, like, the League. This guy Constantine came by a month or two after the portal opened and saw me and relaxed. Said he was glad to see I was already handling things there. Gave me a number and laughed and said if anyone could handle the situation, it’d be me, but I could call if I needed back up.” He shrugged. “And he was right. So far I have been able to handle it. This is an exception and I’ll get it fixed in a few hours tops.”

Robin ground his teeth. “That lazy magician.”

Batman also muttered something under his breath. “Thank you, Phantom. For doing so much on your own. If you tell us how to free Batman and Superman, we can handle it from here.”

“What?” Danny shook his head in confusion. “What are you talking about? You need specialized weapons that I don’t have on me and containment devices and access to a portal to the Realms to get rid of them. Seriously, I can get this taken care of. Just tell me where Batman is.”

Batman sighed again. “We don’t have much of a choice. Fine. But will you be able to get us these weapons and containment devices if we requested some of you? We’ll pay you, of course. And we’d like more details on what you’ve been dealing with. I’m afraid Constantine… did not share the details of your dealings with the rest of us.”

“Yeah, sure. The weapons are made by Drs. Jack and Maddie Fenton of FentonWorks, based out of Amity Park, Illinois. Their son Danny can help you pick out the most useful ones. Some are more torture device than anything, though, so definitely avoid those. Danny will be able to tell you the difference.”

Batman nodded once, jaw clenched. “Thank you. Now, I’ve just gotten an update on the possessed Batman’s location. Follow us.”

-----

Dick is pretending to be Batman here. If they have a "normal" batman out, then they can show the possessed batman is an imposter.

I saw some debate on the original over whether Johnny would possess Batman or Superman. To me, the answer was obvious. He'd possess Batman because he wanted to take the Batmobile for a spin.

Meanwhile, Kitty is the smart one. She'd go for Superman because then she could use his powers and her own to 1) punish Johnny and 2) prevent anyone from stopping them.

Regarding Constantine: He made an oops, but it's not (fully) his fault. Due to time missions from Clockwork, Phantom is shown to be thousands of years old and is known for fantastic feats. If Constantine had known this was some fourteen year old newly dead kid, he'd have acted differently. Instead, he thinks Danny is older than he is with millenia of experience.

This is free for anyone to continue!

From all game timelines... In terms of writing, do you have a favorite Rika?

Oh, hands down?

If you're asking me for the most compelling arc that not only forces her to take accountability for her crimes from the very beginning, but also helps her get to a much-needed point of self-actualization where she can work on herself from prison getting the very help she needed from the start? Then, I'm going to tell you the Rika I enjoy the most is in Ray Route and the After Ending's Normal End.

The reason why the RAE's Normal End is Normal is because Rika is the one who makes a stand against Saejoong, rather than MC who's helping Saeran get the story behind his father's life so he can process what he needed, a deeper understanding of himself and pain so he's able to move on the way he wants to.

Rika taking a stand to say to tell Saejoong what she's thinks of him and HERSELF is one of the most poignant and powerful moments for her as a character. She tells Saejoong like it is, owns her shame and grief, admits that she needs help and to face punishment for a laundry list of atrocities she's committed. She tells him he needs to pay up an face his sins as well. She doesn't mince words and to see Rika Kim own everything she's denied is cathartic.

I stand by my statement I've always said. I want Rika Kim to take accountability for her actions.

I want her to face the prison sentence she deserves for everything she's done wrong, but I also want her to have self-actualization while she is facing her punishment for the rest of her life. She has to live with what she's done, and while it is just viable to hope that she lives in discomfort for the rest of her days, much like Saeran, I want her to find some peace over what she did suffer in life at the hands of those awful adoptive parents and the pastor who did unspeakable things to her.

I want her to live with what she's done. I want her to stay awake at night and think about all the awful things she has done to other people, and I want her to understand the depth of pain that has been inflicted on people because of her actions. But, I also want her to have the opportunity to heal from what she could never heal from to begin with. She needed a therapist who would be committed to her emotional needs rather than ignore the problem at hand and treat only surface level issues.

She still needs someone to talk to about her guilt and shame over Sally, her years spent feeling like a monster as a child until she took ownership of being called the devil to fight back against her pastor and her parents, and how devil and angel themes grappled with her on the inside for years as she struggled to find a sense of self outside of masking. She deserves the opportunity to talk to someone about those things.

Having that chance doesn't excuse or erase her actions, because cool backstory and motive doesn't equate to an excuse for crime. I can't I have to point that out but narratively speaking, Rika is hated for a lot of justifiable reasons but for the people who think she's an interesting person and want to see her find some peace while facing DESERVED PUNISHMENT FOR HER CRIMES shouldn't get kicked over and over to hell and back for saying they like her in any capacity.

That really has nothing to do with your question, I just feel the need to say it because anytime I answer a question about her or Jihyun in a capacity that talks about their crimes, sometimes it gets twisted up as people think liking a character somehow equates to justification of their crimes.

Seeing Rika Kim own up to being a criminal was cathartic to me as a victim. Sometimes, you want that person who hurt you to own up to what they've done and walk right where they deserve to be. Like my love Saeran, I hope she finds some peace with her trauma, but I don't want to see her again after this moment, and this is the end to Rika's involvement in our lives as far as I'm concerned with my timeline with Saeran Choi.

For the people who haven't played the RAE Normal Ending or aren't particularly interested in doing so, I'm just going to paste this down below for you to look at.

A/N: This one's for u @lovereren man we were going CRAZY with these ideas lmfao ilysm❤️

This is a random side scenario far down the line after 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 takes place. Please read the tags, and to whoever somehow finds this, enjoy :)

𝟷𝟾+, ᴍɪɴᴏʀs ᴅᴏ ɴᴏᴛ ɪɴᴛᴇʀᴀᴄᴛ.

•━━ꕥ━━•

It's been a few hours since you delivered your baby.

You sit there, still in silent shock. Not only from the severe stress your body endured during labor, but from the fact that you can't process just how you still got pregnant.

For the past 9 months, you've done nothing but rethink all the precautions you took to prevent another pregnancy. Birth control. Cleaning out Eren's cum from inside of you when he's asleep. And so much more.

And yet you still ended up with a positive pregnancy test in your hands.

Why?

In the midst of your stupor, you're shaken up by the door being pushed open.

None other than your husband, Eren, enters the room. He's donned in one of those countless pristine suits of his, striding in with his air of suffocating confidence and a sinister expression plastered on his face.

He walks up to you, standing next to the hospital bed, hands in the pockets of his slacks. He reaches a hand out and you lightly flinch, making Eren click his teeth in disapproval.

He continues to place his hand on your cheek, stroking it softly.

"How's the baby, hm?"

"The baby is... fine."

"Mmm."

You slowly sit up as Eren stands there beside you, quiet and observing. The air always feels unbearably suffocating every time he's present. You just wish he would leave.

In the corner of your vision, you see Eren fish something out of the pocket in his blazer. Something is smacked down harshly onto the bedside table, and you flinch violently at the sound.

You quickly look over to see what it is, and your blood freezes.

The birth control.

Your eyes widen, and that familiar ice cold sensation of horror floods your veins.

"What's this. Hm?"

Your mouth gapes like a fish out of water, immediately grappling for excuses as to why you'd have such a thing in your possession.

"It's– it's for a condition I have. I can explain–"

"Shut your fucking mouth." Eren spits with absolute indignation, glaring at you in fury.

"Do you think I'm fucking stupid? Huh?" He leans over you, caging you in with his arms. "Did you actually think that I wouldn't find out? That you'd be a disobedient fucking whore and take this shit?"

You have no excuse now. You have no idea what to do.

So you beg. You beg for his forgiveness.

Tears begin to flood your eyes, obscuring your vision. "Baby, please. I'm so sorry. I am so so sorry. Please. I just– I just wanted to rest for a little bit. Pregnancy is very hard for me, and... and..." Your voice trails off with a pathetic little whimper, as you cast your eyes down towards your hands. You begin to full on sob, praying to any force out there that Eren would somehow, somewhat have mercy on you this one single time. Just this once, you begin to chant in your head. But of course, it's nothing but wishful thinking.

Because he doesn't.

Your yell of surprise is cut off as Eren's large veiny hands wrap around your throat, squeezing it with all he has and robbing you of your ability to breathe.

You cough and sputter, kicking out your legs weakly as the tears spill down your face.

He brings his face right in front of yours, the tips of your noses touching. Your pupils dilate in fear, locked onto the monster in front of you. His sharp emerald eyes pierce right through your own and into your soul, siezing your entire being in absolute fear.

"Don't you ever. Fucking. Cross me like that again. You fuckin' hear me, bitch?"

You try to nod, but Eren's hands are still constricting your windpipes, preventing you from speaking.

"You like to play dumb all the time, don't you? Dumb fucking whore."

Finally, he releases your throat, and instantly, you're sent into a hysterical fit of coughs, face purple and a thin sheen of sweat coating your forehead and temples. "I'm sorry Eren–"

Your face snaps to the side. For a little moment, the world is silent, and the only thing cutting through the silence is a static ringing noise throughout your ears.

Eren had slapped you senseless.

You're brought back to the present by Eren grabbing your face and turning it to face him.

"By taking this fucking shit–" he nudges his head towards the bedside table where the birth control rests "–you're mistreating my fucking property. You are my fucking property. I've told you before that you're not. Fucking. Allowed. To take this shit. But you keep disobeying me like you always do."

Your chest is choked up with sobs, and you can only sit there as Eren glares down at you.

Eren releases your face. You hesitantly try to bring up a hand to rub your cheek, but Eren grabs it, squeezing it and making you whimper in pain.

Once again, he puts his face right in front of yours. His face twists into a sick sneer, in an unsettling mixture between anger and arrogance.

"You really like getting punished, huh?"

"Baby–"

"Shut the fuck up. When we get home... I'm gonna teach you a fucking lesson. Be grateful that I'm not doing it right here."

You stay silent, heeding his commands. You have nothing to do. You have nothing to say.

"You're mine. I fucking own you. Your thoughts, your actions, every single fucking part of you is mine, and when I say there's something you can't do, you better fucking listen. Understand?"

You stay silent, gaze still downcast.

"I said fucking LOOK AT ME!!" Eren roars in your face, grabbing a fistful of your hair to lift your head off the bed as he jerks it closer to his face.

"Yes! Yes, I'm sorry Eren, I didn't mean to stay quiet! Please baby, I'm sorry." You sob pathetically, earning a glare of disgust from Eren.

Eren grits his teeth and growls. "When we get home... you're gonna fucking get it. I don't fucking care if the whole house hears. If the kids hear. I'm gonna teach you nice & properly that you're fucking mine. And you better not mess with me again. Understand?"

You have nothing you can do. Nothing you can say.

Submissively, you raise your gaze to meet his. Your lips still quiver from the shock of being beaten, trembling in the presence of your husband.

"Yes. Yes, I understand."

"That's a good little wife."

He grabs your face and kisses you roughly, forcing his tongue into your mouth, moaning at the taste of your tears. He forcefully molds his lips onto yours, and you lay there and take it.

Finally Eren lets you go, letting your head harshly fall back onto the hospital bed.

He storms out, and you instantly break down, crumpling up in defeat.

I'd love to see your take on the inexperienced Batch grappling with the realization that they've fallen for a female reader. I like to think that ever since they were cadets they've been non-stop busy with the war and haven't had any experience with women. How would they deal with their first experience with romantic emotions? Confusion about new feelings, dwelling on whether or not they will confess, all that fun stuff.

Oh Indeed fun stuff, a very interesting thing to get into!

Let me try :)

The Bad Batch x Fem!Reader - Falling In Love For The First Time

For someone living and growing into war, into being a soldier, knowing not much else, falling in love for the first time probably is a challange, maybe even scary.

Hunter

With Hunter this whole thing goes deeper, it's more than just a feeling, he perceives you on a whole new level. His senses give him a hard time whenever you are somewhere near him. Your scent is making him crazy, his nights are full of dreams with you, soft and sexy ones and some of them just weird, well the way dreams are sometimes. But the main thing is, you always seem to be in them in some way.

His pulse is racing whenever you address him, he feels his palms getting sweaty in his gloves. It takes him a while to realize what's going on. He heard about it before but he never really thought it would actually ever happen. But here you are, driving him crazy without knowing it.

He'll try to ask you out, but he'll chicken out and ask if you have time for a workout or spar instead. So you end up in the training room, just the two of you and you can see that he acts different than usual, but you can't place it yet. He'll let you win your training fights a little too often and you point it out to him.

"What? No. You're just really good today", he tries to evade you.

He's got so many things on his mind, his tongue, but he just doesn't dare to tell you. After training and a shower, you meet again outside the locker room. You want to say good night and give him a kiss on the cheek, but Hunter finally pulls himself together and instead, grabs you softly and goes with his lips for yours. The kiss is somewhat sloppy and clumsy, but obviously heartfelt.

When your lips part you ask him: "Was that your first kiss?"

"That obvious?", he asks a little sheepishly.

"Just a tiny bit", you chuckle.

"You could teach me... if you like", he says softly and hopefully places his arm around your waist.

Echo

The first time he realizes what he feels for you is when you help him with his scomp link when it acts up and you come in close, so close that he can smell you and almost feel your body heat. He looks up from his arm into your face and gets lost in your eyes.

He is so lost in your gaze it takes him a moment to realize you are actually talking to him.

"What?"

"I asked if it's better now"

"Oh"

Echo moves his arm and nods. Yes indeed it was better.

"Where were you with you thoughts a moment ago?", you ask him and you see him get nervous.

He makes up an excuse to leave instantly and leaves you standing there.

Echo can't stop think about you, he is avoiding you because he doesn't know how to handle the situation yet, but he misses you every second you're not around.

Now Echo is pretty bright and sweet. He'll eventually seek you out. He's a good listener and conversationalist. He uses these trades to get closer to you, learn more about you. He takes a lot more time then most other men, but he sneaks his way into your heart. But between the moment he finds out he is in love and your first kiss may well be a few months.

Wrecker

He is confused, but not really shy. He knows he likes you and somehow that feeling had just intensified.

Wrecker will take one or two days after realizing there is more to his feelings for you, before he acts on them.

He is pretty open about it, he will talk to you and he will be honest.

"I don't know much about love, never was in love before. The only thing I know, is that I miss you when you are not around, I think of you a lot and I just want to be close to you and with you. Does that make sense?"

You smile and nod.

"It does"

Wrecker looks at you, kind of shy for the first time since you know him.

"Is there any chance you feel something similar for me?", he asks softly.

When you smile and nod, he shows you one of his famous big grins, picks you up and swirls you around.

"So? What are we supposed to do next? I mean I know a few things in theory but... I'm not sure about any protocol or-"

You interrupt him with a kiss. The only reason you can reach them is because hi still has you in his grip.

As your lips part he mumbles softly, "Oh, okay, I like that. What's next?"

Tech

He is enraptured by you and at the same time he is scared to the bone by his suddenly and intensely blossoming feelings for you.

Tech knows the principle of love, has read every aspect about it, the emotional, the physical, the friendly, simply everything and he is shocked to find that he simply wants to experience every aspect with you. The feelings are intense and overwhelming.

He had never been meant for anything like a relationship, he knew that, none of his brothers were. Yet, he now found himself in this situation and he didn't want to give up on you nor did he want to give in to his "weaknesses".

He now behaves differently around you, you notice that, even though Tech is actually quite in control, something is different about him. Sometimes he comes much closer to you than he usually does, then he suddenly keeps his distance again or even shrinks back from you.

Weeks go by, feelings get stronger and stronger and at some point you sit together in the engine room of the Marauder and you help him with some repairs, hand him the tools and hold one or the other cable so he can work. All of a sudden, he sits up and looks at you standing over him, the next tool already in your hand.

"Would you consider going out with me? On an intimate basis, I mean, not just as friends."

You smile at him.

"Is this your way of telling me you have a crush on me?"

He'll blush, but nod braver than he actually feels.

His eyes go wide when you say, "Yes I would. When?"

Crosshair (aka the exception)

He is no stranger to physical attraction, he already had his fair share of intimate experiences and yet when he meets you, it hits him out of the blue. Love. Not just attraction, more than that. He feels the need to impress you, to have you protected, to be close to you as often and much as possible.

It's exciting and very confusing too, cause you don't jump on his lap like the ladies usually do when he gifts them his attention. And hoenstly he doesn't want you to be that easy. Yes he does want you, but he wants more than your body, he wants your soul and the moment he realizes that he feels a bit lost.

He doesn't know how to interact with you, to show you that you are not just another bedtime story for him. So he decides to be frank.

"Hey Kitten", he calls out to you a few days later as you pass the Marauder on your way home.

"Crosshair", you say amused that he's still using that nickname on you.

He walks up to you and asks almost softly, "You know I really like you, right?"

You blink.

"I guess... yeah I think I do"

He sighs, that was obviously not the answer he wanted to hear.

"What is it?", you ask.

He crosses his arms in front of his chest, almost defiantly and says, "I can't stop thinking about you, you are always on my mind, night and day. I dream about you, all kinds of things but the main point being, you are in almost all of them. You make my heart race, my palms sweat and your smile makes my knees soft"

You look at him with big eyes.

"How about now? Do you know now that I really like you?", he asks almost snarky.

You are taken of guard, overwhelmed, flattered and happy but out of words, which gives him the wrong impression.

"....I-I guess", you stutter.

Crosshair stares you into the ground.

"For crying out loud woman!", he scolds, grabs you and gives you a wild aswell as soft and most importantly heartfelt kiss.

Recently dipped into a Twitter thread about the video hhbomberguy made on RWBY years ago and it sort of got me thinking about how the RWBY community kinda tends to focus hard on the person rather than the arguments.

Like someone brought up that hhbomberguy made his points in good faith and one of the responses was literally that the thumbnail called RWBY "dissapointing", and another argued that because he critiqued (or as they put it "bashed:) Monty before his death, it wasn't good faith.

It feels like they're more focused on trying to prove that Hhbomberguy is a bad dude more than anything.

Do you ever feel the same way?

Oh definitely, anon. It makes sense to me too because there are only three possible responses here:

Engage with what the criticism is saying

Ignore the criticism entirely/take a blatant "Agree to disagree" approach without really hearing out the arguments

Attack the writer instead of the writing

Many RWBY fans are defensive of the show to the point of rejecting all criticism as a matter of course, which eliminates Option #1, and just as many are unable to simply scroll past an opinion they disagree with, which eliminates Option #2. So if you've got someone who a) is giving in to the need to engage with a critic's vid/post but b) is unwilling to actually give the criticism a fair shake and respond to their arguments... all that's left is to insult the writer instead. Think of all the asks critics get that just toss out broad (and usually deeply ironic) accusations of racism, ableism, sexism, intelligence, and general moral standing. It's usually about the person as opposed to their work, with the work simply acting as the excuse to engage in (frankly) a form of bullying. "Oh, well you said this about a cartoon, so now I'm justified in hurling slurs at you."

Plus, in this fandom in particular, it becomes a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy. Critics receive so much hatred that it doesn't leave room for others to approach criticism with an open mind, lest they become the next target. If you see a critical post and engage with it -- even if you agree with the points because they're supposedly made in "good faith"! -- that could loose you fandom friends, the community's support, and gain you asks ranging from ridiculous trolling to outright death threats... would you really go for it? Obviously a lot of us still do, but for far more it's easier to bypass the argument entirely and start repeating whatever writer-based accusations are most popular at the time. Learn to provide a blanket "RWDE is ____" statement and you don't ever have to consider what RWDE -- or Hhbomberguy -- has actually said. Instead, it's a win-win from a social standpoint. The majority of the fandom doesn't hate you, will likely praise you for (supposedly) helping to "clean up" the community, your ask box isn't filled with nonsense, and you never have to grapple with the difficult task of unpacking the flaws of something you enjoy.

Ignorance is bliss!

You had to know I'd eventually ask... in a dark rise/teen wolf au (to which degree is up to you) how would you handle which characters are which? Same idea as when I asked about merlin/teen wolf au 😉

ahh yes, you've given me an excuse, bless you 😂 spoilers obviously, nobody read this if you haven't read the book in full yet

the thing i'm most certain of is that Theo is James. not inherently bad, but taken in and raised by people who encouraged darkness and violence to the point of internalizing it. clever and good at manipulating those around him to his own ends. defensiveness and provocation to cover up insecurity and a fear of vulnerability. encouraging good people to hurt him so that he can feel validated in his belief (born from experience) that their goodness, and in fact "goodness" in general, is a charade. has done horrible things, the circumstances for which are complicated, but the path for redemption is open.

and i went through 90% of the book with Scott as my Will, but then the ENDING happened!!!! and flipped the script so hard that now i think my Will has gotta be Stiles, with Void as his Sarcean. inhabited by a pure manifestation of evil, constantly plagued by flashes of memory from that life and the fear of whether he's his own entity at all or whether he's merely an inevitable recreation of that evil. how much is Stiles and how much is the Dark King? how will he ever be able to separate them out, to trust himself and his own motivations? he remembers everything he did, and he remembers liking it..... also his mother tried to kill him. the intense denial and repression of that knowledge, coupled with the kinda cold-blooded revenge plan (that started out as just wanting to ruin Simon's business but ended up with a sword in his gut), and the way he grapples with his dark impulses and also feeling guilty and afraid of them. wanting to be good but feeling like it's not in his nature and he maybe doesn't have the option.

Malia as Violet maybe?? she's got the right GNC vibes, the strength obviously, and i think the right heart underneath it all. she's loyal and brave and she wants to be good. my other thought for Violet is Allison, as someone who gets the rug pulled out from under her where her family and their allegiances is concerned, but i don't completely vibe with that. i actually kinda like the idea of Allison as Tom tbh, but i can't say for sure before i know where Tom's storyline is gonna end up. but Malia brought in by the Argents and raised by Gerard for the purpose of having Allison kill her one day is a set up that i kinda like.

but i also like Kate as Simon and Gerard as the mysterious Earl that we found out at the end was the one who was actually raising James and who actually had Eleanor killed (and who was, thus, far more involved than we knew and presumably the main antagonist of the next book).

Peter could also be Simon maybe, but then who would be his even more mysterious and malevolent father? Deucalion?? that feels kinda weird. maybe, though.

my first thought for Cyprian is Derek. dead older sibling that he was devoted to, last one standing after a massacre, little bit of a dick but ultimately a truly good person who will fight to the death for his loved ones.

but my second thought for Cyprian is Jackson, not gonna lie, cuz i feel like he matches up better personality-wise? it doesn't quite line up with TW canon obviously, but like, if Jackson were raised in the Hall, i think that's exactly how he would turn out. cuz canon TW Jackson isn't a bad person, i don't think, but his circumstances allowed him to end up really self-centered, and i think a Jackson raised with strict discipline and a deeply ingrained cause would turn out more like Cyprian: perfectionistic, goal-oriented, self-righteous, a little arrogant, but also truly believing in his cause and determined to uphold it at all costs. i'm also not sure yet, cuz we haven't had Cyprian's POV, but i get the vibe that he struggled to live up this father's high expectations. Cyprian is adopted (like Jackson) and living in the shadow of James, for better or for worse, so i feel like a lot of Cyprian's striving for excellence might stem from that, which mirrors a little bit of Jackson's deeply-seated insecurity. i kinda like the idea of Allison being Jackson's Marcus, with Jannick as Chris. (what is it with me just wanting Allison to be somebody's big brother? 😂)

my initial thought for Katherine was Lydia, of course, with the preoccupation with vanity and status. but knowing now where Katherine ends up, i'm not sure i can stick with that, if only because i want her to live alkdfgh. if Stiles is my Will, i feel like Heather would make the best Katherine. she was so unsuspecting, she had no idea what she was getting into, and she just got taken out so quickly and unceremoniously. rip Katherine and rip Heather.

Lydia could be Grace! we haven't gotten much of Grace, but we have gotten shows her to be strong, composed, and knowledgeable. and she was included in the pre-order art package alongside all the mains, so i imagine she's going to be more of a main character moving forward.

i have no idea who Elizabeth would be, but i'm not gonna lie, my first thought was Liam 😂 tiny little ball of rage and judgment. could also be Cora though, maybe?? Laura as Katherine and Cora as Elizabeth?? (where would that leave Derek though.....) IDK

ooh wait, maybe Scott could be Elizabeth!! i cannot think of anyone else Scott would be (i don't feel like he fits with Will anymore), but if Elizabeth does actually end up being the chosen one, it could work.... 🤔 or else maaaaybe Justice.

i was thinking that Jordan could make a good Justice too. strong, reliable, principled, and compassionate. he's a soldier, and that requires a certain amount of practicality to be balanced with those principles, which i think fits him. it's hard to cast characters that i know are gonna end up dead so quickly 😭

on that note: Isaac, Boyd, and Erica as Emery, Carver, and Beatrix. rip @ the beta trio.

and either Deaton or Satomi as the Elder Steward. maybe Satomi as her and Deaton as Jannick? that feels like it fits decently until i remember what Jannick did to James, and i'm not sure that Deaton would take that route.....not that we know 100% what went down there, but i definitely got the impression that Jannick was going to kill his own son for his reincarnation status and that doesn't vibe with Deaton imo. feels more like an early season Argent thing to do (and then spend the rest of his life doubting and regretting it). (yes i have considered Allison as James, but i'm not sold on it.)

.........Meredith as Devon????

#and the answer is #bisexualbuckaroo #tags by me #Dark Rise #Dark Rise spoilers #Teen Wolf #why yes i DO have many thoughts and have been holding them in for weeks #crossover casting #DR/TW
