i've been rereading and rereading and rereading the fic series over and over and over. i thought the custard cookie iii fans had either mostly dimmed out or migrated. i only saw a fanart of the bluebell au by chance and got excited enough to see an old hypfix in the dash that i found the fic and god. i am so happy to see another cciii fan in here. you've got me watching all the new beast-yeast storyline eps for this. god you nail shadow milk's voice so well but also i've just listened to his eng voice actor and he truly does sound silly. his english voice actor is doing really well for a first impression. i might be developing another character fixation but who the hell knows. all i can say is that i am back in low-content crk hell where this time i might start actually writing for it. FUCK.
also slightly off-topic what was he doing. no i am serious what was custard cookie iii (who CANNOT be older than like 10) doing on his own chasing a puppy with a crown and when he gets adopted by a bunch of friends there is no alert raised. where was he living before that??? who was taking care of him??? why was no one looking for him??? we know his family lineage and that's like. most of everything. WHAT was that child doing. i would shake him like a pinata but i don't think he deserves that. devsisters i will shake YOU like a pinata because WHY are there so many underdeveloped characters.
yeah that's basically it for now byeeeeeee
IM SOBBING AT THE FIRST PART TYSM IM SO GLAD YOU ARE ENJOYING THE AU AND THAT THE CUSTARD CLAN HASNT DIED OUT JUST YET!
for the second part, I totally get the frustration with the underdeveloped characters, and as for what custard was doing for me it really depends on the au/headcanon I'm going for. I only have 1 au where i hc him older than 11 and thats specifically because its an au set in the future of another au thats dark choco centric, and i often go for around 9, (technically it makes him 6-8 when he first meets the crew because his birthday is implied to be the anniversary date and at least 1 year has passed since he canonically attended Holly's year end ball)
I literally have an au where they spawned in one day because of a wish(an old friend of pure vanillas who wished to help him like he helped them as a form of good karma gets their wish fulfilled and the magic granted to them by vanilla becomes custard iii hence how they share similar abilities and custard is so attached to vani). And "dad" in their memories is just what they used to look like, with the old soul looking after him if he needs it.
In a fairly canon timeline I see that custard was raised by his dad, who went out the day before the adventure started and didn't come back, and custard left to go and find him, and ends up getting adopted by several parental/carer figures including but not limited to: chili pepper, rye, dark choco, madeleine, pure vanilla, dark cacao, tea knight, crunchy chip and c-arrow.
And also gets 3 new siblings in Gingerbrave Strawberry and Wizard, and forms a small chaos squad with Poison mushroom, Strawberry crepe and snapdragon.
As for what happened to his dad, idk rlly. Part of me wants to do a tiger lily conspiracy in that the St pastry order kidnapped tiger lily for her connection to holly(and by extension eternal sugar and mystic flour) and lost her when butter tiger showed up to protect her and that something similar happened to custards dad and he's currently in their hold.
Or in a complete curve ball I could say that Custard iii was kidnapped and escaped, but did not realise he was being kidnapped in his childish naivety.
Until devsis gives us more crumbs this is the best we got.

How "famous" are Connor and Kara during the game? What's their public image like?
Nothing major, just some few observations i don't see people talking about. I just wanted to leave this saved in here. Maybe can inspire somebody, who knows.
I won't be talking about Markus cuz his whole deal is exactly the public image in this game, so i'll be only commenting on "CyberLife's new detective prototype" and "the runway AX400".
⚠️ ALERT OF POOR ENGLISH SKILLS AND EXPLANATIONS. I also got a bit of HC here to help expressing my feelings.
-> Kara, the rogue AX400 model
Tumblr media
A quick summary: She got a price on her head...and Alice made her life difficult. Don't worry, i gonna explain.
Although having a common face can be an advantage in some infiltrations, Kara's face can also be a target on her back, even if she changed appearance.
Everything start with her escape from Todd (determinant murder). In the night she escapes itself everything was cool tho but there was a big problem: witnesses. She walked into public spaces (like the bus), got a kid by her side, can even steal some stuff and point a gun at people - and ofc these are TRACKS. Want something worse? Her case appears on TV.
Tumblr media
If Todd is alive he even gives an interview
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now she's wanted by the law.
People in the region is wary for any AX400 with her likeness, the police is all over the region trynna find someone with the discriptions. A girl with the AX400 likeness, without a LED and in human clothes? IT'S HER.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(she was lucky the guy from the motel didn't insist in her ID)
And u can notice her "disguise" ain't that perfect cuz the police can still recognize her - probably cuz of the fact she looks like an AX400, changed appearance and GOT A KID ON HER SIDE (likely the discription given by the bus guy).
Tumblr media
But Kara is also lucky: these types of case are becoming constant. The number of "androids going rogue" rising. Although she's all over the news, she's still a commercial android. If she escapes it's likely people would forget about her after some time cuz there will be another case like this and other suspicious AX400s.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So my bet is "the rogue AX400 on the run" is something well known, but may be forgettable - not the case per se but "WHO" this actually is.
Tumblr media
Nobody knows "Kara", only the "dangerous AX400 from the chase" the police struggled. But we got a LOT of AX400s and lotta of 'em gonna go deviant. It's even funny how they especulate the "young woman" and "little girl" are 2 defective machines. These unconfirmed sources are always so fucking shady.
Tumblr media
And u see nobody recognizes her outside Detroit (for whatever reason), not even the cop, even with her case on the news. Idk if it was difficult implementing something checking if the police recognized her or not (meaning they would get an update on Kara's "new" appearance).
I guess was something local, her case is public - but her name? Nah. Again: even tho we got disadvantages when spotted in small regions, if she disappears she has just...dissapeared. Even the "Android Crime Unit" gives up her case 😂
-> Connor RK800, CyberLife's new prototype
Tumblr media
First of all i think his face was probably in all places after this hostage situation.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Even if he fails, some cut stuff suggests some people remembered him as the android negotiator in Partners (when the 2 chapters didn't had a 2 months time skip).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I bet he was all over the internet too, although i think his name was unknown in that period. The only ones that knew his name was probably the SWAT team - "My name's Connor, i'm the android sent by CyberLife".
And then we got Ortiz's case. Reporters were there and everybody saw an android entering the crime scene (what they ain't supposed to do) with Lt. Anderson - a known figure in the city, quite famous in law enforcement i'd say.
Later in the game is mentioned in the news a new "detective prototype" was assigned to the DPD from several sources, the first case of an android with active role in crime scenes. Also the fact a "Android Crime Unit led by Anderson" was formed. I honestly don't know if they knew Connor's name, but his model series ain't difficult to find out or getting leaked. From there it's even easier getting both information together. For now the public don't know "Connor".
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I assume after The Nest and On the Run (where Connor appears in public again and gathers LOTTA attention) everybody already know at least about the RK800 from the hostage situation now working with the Police Department. If it's positive or negative i really don't know, but he def gathered attention esp if he's succesful. The chase on the highway also gets on the news. My bet would be people inside the police department know his name, or at least "Connor, the detective prototype model".
By Public Enemy i assume overall cops know him, like that one that can be saved in The Hostage. He's recognized by his face, model and name. I like imagining after Markus speech was expected Anderson and Connor would be called, after all it's the "Android Crime Unit". Maybe it's limited tho, Perkins doesn't seem to know 'em so i think Connor ain't known in federal level law enforcement. It's at this point i think Connor is starting to make a name as "Deviant Hunter" among the deviants. We've already had The Eden Club murder case, the Ortiz murder case, the Hostage situation, Connor and the police searching for the runway (killer) AX400.
For the average people on the streets i think "RK800 Connor, the CyberLife's latest prototype, the detective model" is already recognized at least if mfs watch the news about androids, and he also got a name in law enforcement - now also known by the FBI.
So yea, i'd say he's quite known but i wouldn't call him a celebrity, esp cuz androids are in a negative pov in this universe. Also ain't cuz Connor is known that he'll also be relevant. "Androids investigating androids?" must be a common question too. In law enforcement it's likely he's "disliked" cuz means androids are now taking active roles from humans, but the public opinion probably print a "protector of human lives" kinda image depending on his succesful actions like the Hostage one (if he saved Emma) and the Stratford Tower one (if he prevented a massacre), but i'd take it with a grain of salt. It raise questions which CyberLife always remain silent and the authorities refuse sayin' something. And what happens when we ain't got official sources? Rumors are spread and opinions are overall divided.
But it's a valid questioning the average folk would have: is Connor really a detective model? Why can he use guns? Why we got androids using weapons now? How do we know he won't turn against humans? How do we know CyberLife ain't pulling 'em strings again? Will androids replace humans in every single space?
Only thing i know is Connor is "recognizable".
Tumblr media
And if he bring the army? Damn, that shit was all over the news. People would def comment.

request: hello everything is fine? could you do hcs from jjk freshman year + gojo with a s/o who has ailurophobia (fear of cats)
stay hydrated and eat plenty!!
(sorry my english is not good)
🌻~ hi!! dont worry about your English, it’s perfectly fine. thanks for the request! enjoy, ily<33 @beabblebee
🌙~ this makes me think of the cats that are on my street- two of them recently had a kitten that’s very skittish and hides under cars a lot. they like to hang out next door in the neighbor’s driveway.
*✧・゚: *✧・゚: gender neutral reader
Tumblr media
𝐣𝐣𝐤 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐡𝐦𝐚𝐧 + 𝐠𝐨𝐣𝐨 𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐮 𝐱 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐡𝐨’𝐬 𝐚𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐬!
Tumblr media
**•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚ 𝐲𝐮𝐮𝐣𝐢 𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐫𝐢 **•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚
ngl, itadori will definitely be puzzled at first. he didn’t actually fathom that someone could be afraid of cats- he’s a big fan of them! but he noticed the way you kind of pressed into his side when you two were walking and saw a stray cat on the street, or the way you sort of tensed when itadori jokingly brought up getting a cat as a pet. but as to not hurt your feelings, he’ll make sure he doesn’t seem to bewildered and invalidate your phobia. he doesn’t bring up getting a pet cat again and avoids bringing you to streets and stuff where there’s a lot of stray cats. when he does see one, just to relieve some of your apprehension, he’ll go up to the cat and make a joking show of shooing it away, pretending to be in combat with it. (itadori only does this when he sees a cat that’s, like, right in front of your house or something because you really can’t do much about stray cats lmao)
“Go away, cat! Begone! You aren’t welcome here!” *dramatically chases it off and turns back to you with a goofy smile* “It’s gone, now, babe! I got rid of it for you! Now don’t worry so much!”
anyway, whenever cats show up on your street near your house or something, you get into the habit of calling your boyfriend to get rid of them for you.
*. ੈ✩‧₊˚ 𝐧𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐤𝐮𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐤𝐢 *ੈ✩‧₊˚
her reaction at first might be a bit insensitive. like she just can’t fathom how you’re afraid of seemingly such a harmless animal. you go out and fight hideous, deformed, deadly curses without batting an eye, and then you’re freaked out by cats? huh??
nobara isn’t mean, though, so she’ll be mindful of the fact that you’re afraid of cats. she’ll very violently shoo away any cats heading your way by yelling at them to go away and pretending to lunge at them to get them to run away. (she doesn’t actually harm the cat.)
“Stupid cat. It probably thinks we have food or something.” *turns to you* “You good? Okay, cool, now let’s go get food or something.”
┊͙✧˖*°࿐ 𝐦𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐦𝐢 𝐟𝐮𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐮𝐫𝐨 ┊͙✧˖*°࿐
it really doesn’t bother megumi that you’re afraid of cats, and it’s not like it’ll affect your relationship or anything. but he’ll probably try to help you with that fear since cats really aren’t anything to be afraid of, and the definition of phobia is an excessive/irrational fear.
he’ll probably ease you into it with breathing exercises when you’re around a cat or have just been exposed to one, then have you hold or play with a toy cat, then have you watch videos or look at pictures of cats being absolutely harmless, and then eventually have you try and touch a cat with his assistance and maybe a therapist’s. of course, megumi is very gradual with this and doesn’t force you into anything, nor does he pressure you. he just wants to help you and doesn’t want you to be crippled by such a fear. in the end, though, megumi doesn’t care whether you’re afraid of them or not. it’s all a part of your personality and who you are, and he loves that no matter what.
┊ ₊˚ʚ ᗢ₊˚✧ ゚. 𝐠𝐨𝐣𝐨 𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐮 ┊ ₊˚ʚ ᗢ₊˚✧ ゚.
ngl he’ll probably make fun of you for a while at first- until he realizes that you’re genuinely afraid of the animal. then he’ll cut the jokes real quick (mostly). expect to still be teased about it every once in a while because he’s gojo. anyway, he still thinks it’s cute how you hide behind his shoulder when a cat comes by and when you sheepishly come ask him to get rid of a cat that’s sitting in your driveway or something.
“Aw, what, are you afraid of the cat? Don’t worry, baby, I’ll protect you from the scary cat.”
“Oh, you want me to get rid of the cat in the driveway? But what if it’s hungry? What if I just…” *pretends to call the cat over*
“Ow! I’m just kidding, babe… but you’re cute when you’re scared.”
“Ow! Okay, okay, you don’t have to punch me. I’m getting rid of it.”

Satenik asks: Does she like animals? What's her favorite flower (Guess: Armenian poppy)? Is there a popular book she really hates? What's her favorite band? (Gointothevvater, who is also rather smitten with her 🖤)
These are such good questions, thank you! <3
I actually don't think Satenik is an animal fan. Magnus never had pets as a kid, and I think Satenik played a major role. She was traumatized by a dog chasing her as a kid, so that kinda swore her off from the entire species.
(as an unrelated hc, melik got magnus a pet rock because 70s, but he accidentally threw it in the trash so he told magnus it ran away)
I think Satenik would like jellyfish though. It helps that she's never seen one in person, so she can just watch them vibe.
Her favorite flower is actually the violet, because it's her favorite color (she's one of those purple fans). But she also loves sunflowers, but mostly because she was inspired by Vincent Von Gogh since he was also a painter who struggled with mental illness.
She did not like Alice in Wonderland because she had to read it in school when she was 9, and at that point she was still fairly new to speaking English so the prose frustrated her. As she got older, she became more frustrated with the book's association with "madness" and hallucinations. It hit too close to her, but not in a way that felt meaningful to her personally.
She loves the Beatles. If she wasn't pregnant with Magnus at the time, she would have been screaming her head off at those concerts. Melik never saw the hype.

Hello! Can I have some hc with a protective mama Reader with Naib, Helena and Bane. They are my precious baby. I haven't play this game since season 13 and I miss them so much ahhhhhhh 😭😭. Thank you, have a nice day ❤❤🌷 (sr, my English is not good)
✨ Your English is wonderful dear ✨
[Naib Subedar, Helena Adams, Gamekeeper] S/O Is Overprotective
Tumblr media
✨ As a reminder, my works will always include gn!reader unless specified by the requester! ✨
———————————————————————
[Naib Subedar]:
* You had been at the manor for quite awhile now, and were a rather nice person, getting along with most other survivors, and even some of the hunters to boot.
* It was quite surprising actually. You’d walked in the first day with a tough-guy attitude and gruff personality, and you didn’t seem like a very approachable person.
* Then, some survivors such as Victor and Emily started worming their way into your heart. Liam [Lucky Guy] and Norton were some of the first people to offer you a seat at the dinner table, and from then on you were one of them.
* You had scars, though most could tell they were more physical than emotional, from some sidejobs you used to complete for a gang on White Sand Street—robbing people and competing in fights with rivals.
* You quickly learned that most people fought back. Rival gangs always intruded on your own territory, and you were always left on guard, defending the last remnants of your livelihood and your sanity.
* Maybe that’s why you’re so protective over your things. Never letting anyone enter your room, never letting anyone see the pain you hide. Opening up to people enough to make allies, but never enough to show secrets.
* Now Naib…. Naib helped you out a lot. It seemed he understood you, far more than others. For some reason, he was always there for you, watching your back when needed, acting like a shield at times—sometimes literally.
* You never really understood at first, how he seemed to know you so well. From what you knew, he came from halfway cross the world, from Nepal, in India—a child, a soldier, a weapon.
* You guessed his life was rather similar, and assumed he’d come to the manor for quite the same reasons but, it was hard to see through the scowl on his face.
* At some point, you began to recognize the signs, the irritation, the avoidance. You recognized the silence, and the stiffness that came from Naib when he ate and smiled and nodded at their questions. You saw the signs of a brother, somebody just as lost and broken as you were.
* Children in the bodies of adults, forced to live life too fast and too furiously. Damaged and done in, waiting for someone to save them, but too scared to cry for help.
* Unwilling to hurt others again, unwilling to change.
* You grew wary—observant—of him eventually. You joined in more matches with him as teammate, and sat next to him often at dinner. When you noticed he didn’t eat as much, you grunted in concern. When he fell asleep in odd places, you’d bring him a blanket.
* It got to the point where he found out about your help, and tried to dissuade you from wasting your time.
* You never really listened. In fact, your worries only increased. Others might not have recognized, but you saw the signs of fatigue and death written in the lines of his face. You’d seen it every day back on White Sand.
* He gave up on making you give up, tired of attempted persuasions. Eventually began returning the favours—Naib is the type to have a ‘you watch my back, I’ll watch yours’ mentality.
* Everything you’d do for him is returned in kind. It annoyed the rest of the manor to no end because the giving and receiving eventually reached limits unheard of.
* You’d throw yourself on a rocket chair to save him, and next game you’d have your own personal bodyguard tracking your every move.
* He’d never admit it, but he appreciates all you do for him, and hopes you appreciate his efforts in making your life a little better too.
* Though your protective tendencies know no bounds, he hopes you’re a little more cautious with throwing your life on the line for him like that. This is a death game after all, be more careful…. please?
* At some point, the whole manor hopes you two could just get together and kiss it out in some storage closet. If you’re dating, what’s the need to be so consistent in you’re protective tendencies? Then you’ll always be together, which means nothing can ever happen to either of you!
* To be fair, that’s what most of them thought until an incident after the confession, where Naib wouldn’t let you out of the medical ward for a week due to a few hairline fractures.
* Please Naib! Emily begs you to let her use the examination table! You’ve hogged it for 5 days and she needs it to identify the infection spreading on Aesop’s leg! Vera broke her nose! William sprinted into the gymnasium wall and shattered his kneecaps! Please leave!
* You once set fire to a couch because Naib stubbed his toe on it.
* Please stop it you two, Freddy can’t budget for anymore furniture, and we’re fresh out of chairs.
———————————————————————
[Helena Adams]:
* Oops! Oh no her glasses! Aww shucks, Norton knocked them right off her face and onto the hardwood floor. She can’t find them because she can’t see, whatever shall she do?
* [S/o]! Please, she needs your help!
* You come in running with a pair of pliers, five bottles of anti-grease spray, and a box of extra lenses and a screwdriver.
* Oh how wonderful! You fixed her glasses—again—and saved her from the task of shuffling herself on all fours looking for them! Her hero!
* Helena…. praises you to say the least. You’re her best friend, her confidante, her…. big and strong, sometimes dumb partner!
* She adores everything you do for her, and tries equally as hard to do things for you that make your life necessarily easier, though it’s harder with her condition.
* She met you around the same time as everybody else, during your first days in the manor. Really, she didn’t actually know you were there until she bumped into a voice she didn’t recognize and became surprised.
* You quickly learned about her blindness, and made it your goal to form a friendship with her based on your willingness to help her around and get closer to her—she was very kind after all.
* Your protectiveness stemmed from the inherent feeling of a need to help guide and provide for Helena, much like a spouse would… jk, unless 👀….
* At some points, you were berated by her for your incessant protections, most of which made her feel highly dependent, which she didn’t like.
* She liked the feeling of being independent of others and being recognized as an autonomous, capable being. Especially considering what she came there for, it was a blow to her pride to be led around and pushed aside all the time.
* When she revealed these feelings to you, you had surprisingly promised her to cease in most areas of monitoring—however you still consistently check up on her—and settled into the realm of a relationship with her.
* Helena meets somebody who respects her opinions + acknowledges her intellect + isn’t a dingy asshole? Sign her up and slap on a ring, she’s marrying this person (eventually).
* She knows that your tendencies stem from a place of need and want, and tolerates most of them. Deep down, she likes being taken care of by someone who knows she can take care of herself. She really does love you.
* When you’re actually in a relationship with each other, you make sure to watch each others backs, more so you than Helena (because she can’t ‘watch’ per say), but you get the point.
* There was once an incident in a duo’s match where Helena became stranded on the Lakeside Fishing map. The terrain is rough, with piles of fish everywhere, randomly placed boxes and walls, and the barrels are bad enough when they don’t form a blockade.
* Her navigational skills, as good as they are with all her previous experience and staff, couldn’t for the life of her figure out how to move her way around a mess of box paths, pallets, and fishing stands.
* Most other survivors were occupied or dead—it had been a hard match against Jack the Ripper and Guard 26—and she was barred from reaching any form of help.
* So she screamed your name as loud as she possibly could across the map, and ended up attracting the attention of BonBon instead. During those moments where she could hear his clanks and heavy metalloid footsteps stalking towards her, the tick of a time bomb in hand, she heard a screech in the distance.
* A fierce battlecry—you came raging from around a windmill, propelled by William’s football and packing heat with a flare gun. BonBon, now stunned twice, stood there in astonishment, before chasing after you, who had grabbed Helena in your arms, running off at full speed.
* Your stamina bar, indicated by a small tab on your character, was running low, and you wouldn’t be able to run at full speed for another minute or two, having used your ability to buy time. Stopping near a closet, you lean down to place Helena on her feet, telling her to hide.
* Her blood trail was invisible from not actually having run anywhere, and she did as you said, making you promise to come get her when it was safe.
* You gave her a smirk and a small nod, assuring her that you would, before leaning in for a peck on the forehead as you shoved her into the locker.
* If only you could see her flushed in embarrassment.
* Leaving her to fangirl in the locker, you form a decoy in your arms—result of your max rescuer ability—and ran off once more, taking off around a corner just as Guard 26 reached your previous location, chasing after you and ‘Helena’ in hopes of landing two more kills.
———————————————————————
[Bane the Gamekeeper]:
* How does it feel to love a deerman? Good? Okay!
* Bane as you know is a little…. rough around the edges so-to-speak, and he has a lot of edges.
* Once you get around all the hooks, chains, and bear traps, and beneath that creepy-looking deer head of his, he really is such a sweet guy!
* At least you think so. In reality, he still acts like a complete dick to everybody else, and only shows his soft side around you, but that’s because he knows he can trust you with his lands, animals, and secrets! All those others out there only wish to hurt what he—you—have, and he’ll make them pay for it.
* Honestly, in order for him to have fallen for you so hard to have let his guard down around you, you probably would have had to be at your most vulnerable point in life, or a hunter yourself. Like a scared prey animal, uncertain of its future, waiting for something to happen, and somebody to help, or a huge predator, ready to strike out at any moment.
* Once you worm your way into his cold dead heart, there’s no way out for you. He’ll keep you close, as he doesn’t want you to be poached away like his precious animal friends from the past. He knows how cruel humanity can be sometimes.
* When you come to find out about his less-than-kind history, it’s all you can do to pity him. Your sympathy knows no bounds, and you become clingier, though he quite honestly likes it.
* You don’t want what happened to him to occur again, and with all these other traitors and murderers in the manor, you’re afraid of what the others could do.
* You keep to his side a lot more, take walks with him in the garden, and enjoy tranquil picnics from time-to-time on Lakeside. Anything to keep him close to you and away from all the pain.
* Bane can obviously see what your doing, and noticing that your protectiveness doesn’t yet border on the insane, he allows you to continue in your devotions.
* It’s honestly sweet sometimes how you both adore each other so much, even if you know that one day one or both of you will have to leave. Whether it be through death, disappearance, or another means such as escape is a question of time, and one that neither of you know the answer to.
* If you’re also a hunter, than both of you know that while you two are happier now than either of you were in life, that your individual deaths and worths will eventually determine your fates—whether that be a happy afterlife, or an eternity of endless wandering.
* It’s well known that you’ll both disappear the day the game ends, your souls being put to rest as they should’ve been however long ago. Until then however, you’ll continue to hold on to and vehemently protect the relationship the two of you have, and you’ll fight until your soul vanishes from the earth for what you have to remain that way.
* Now, if you’re a survivor, this is where the relationship can be a bit difficult.
* Avidly defending the actions of your boyfriend during and after a match to the rest of your survivor buddies isn’t a very good look for you, or your reputation. It’s been many times where you’ve almost been chased out of the dining room because somebody was pissed at you for costing them the match, or being the only one spared instead of convincing Bane for a win or tie.
* As they say, if you can’t beat em’, join em’. Some survivors, such as William, Kreacher, and Freddy, have more than once suggested that if you loved a hunter so much, you should become one to be with him. Dating the undead almost crosses the line of what is humane. Aesop thinks you’re kind of cool.
* The hunters over on Bane’s side hate you more. Are convinced that you’re the sole reason that Bane goes friendly sometimes (even in matches without you in them), and that your relationship takes away from his brutal and violent persona and nature.
* Violetta and Michiko are the most tolerant of you, mainly because you gifted them silk and a hand fan for Christmas once when they wished for them in their letters.
* All-in-all, basically everyone blames you, but you keep going forward because who cares about all the nasty bi*ches in the world, am I right?
* Once, to prove the integrity and devotion of your relationship, you set Freddy’s room on fire and locked Kreacher in a closet. You looked Bane directly in the eyes and kneeling before him stated, “I have committed arson for you m’lord.”
* You couldn’t see it because of his deerish head and all, but Bane really went “Heart eyes motherf*cker.” on you in that moment.
* You love animals and set things on fire to prove your loyalty to him? Ticket for one please, he’s riding the simp train all the way to the station.
* Just, please don’t accidentally burn down the manor, he wants to spend as much time with you as possible before he disappears.
* Also don’t joke around with your life, it’s too precious, even when you tackle your own teammate or risk getting hit by Ganji’s cricket ball to save him from being stunned.
* He doesn’t want you dying before he does—has already he supposes—or disappearing without a trace.
* You promise you’ll stick with him until the day you finally leave this wretched place.

hm hello!! I'm literally addicted to your blog akjsjasfjk can I ask a hc for adult trio separately (sorry, I don't know if you write 3 characters at once, otherwise it could be one of the 3) x female reader in which she is hit by a nen that transforms her into a cat temporarily and how would they take care of her? sorry for my english :( and thanks <3
Tumblr media
Oh my, thank you so much! 😭💕
I do hope that I understood your request well and if I didn't, don't hesitate to tell me what you had in mind exactly 😄
 And don’t worry, that was a bit different from what you requested and while it might be similar, it will a be a tiny bit different.
Thank you and I hope you enjoy it! 🙇
Here are Hisoka’s part and Chrollo’s part to the S/O turned into a neko request
Chrollo
same as before, Chrollo would first research, probably with the help of the Troupe
who the Nen user was, how did you get affected by it, how long would it last, were there any side effects (besides the obvious ones) etc.
he swore he’d protect and take care of you no matter what and now he felt as if he had failed you
so he’d definitely take it upon himself to take care of you while you’re in this state
you do seem to remember him, even as a cat, something that he’s grateful for
the only bad thing is that he can’t understand you if you ever have a problem and can’t really communicate it verbally
he finally gets you your phone and leaves it somewhere where your little paws can press on the keyboard to spell words
it takes some time for you to get used to it, but you finally manage to learn how to do it easier
Chrollo spoils you
he’ll get you a collar with beautiful gemstones and when you only stare at him, it’s like he can read your mind
it’s only for now, I swear. You’re just very pretty and I want you to feel like royalty, love
how can you be mad at him when he does things like these?
will love petting you and having you on his thighs or on his chest when he’s reading or sleeping
though, when he sleeps, you’re pretty much always either on his chest or glued to his side
feeds you the best things he can find and has some toys for you to play with
having you purr when you’re with him makes his heart beat faster and he loves it
despite all that, he can’t wait to have you back in your human form so he can hug and kiss you and actually hear your voice
Hisoka
this little jerk probably won’t even notice that you’re not human anymore
will probably just walk right past you after the Nen user who did this to you was either dead or had managed to run away
calling your name constantly, only for you to meow every time in response
he’ll look at you weirdly and actually pick you up by the back of your neck, examining you
animals usually ran whenever his bloodlust was high
but you seemed pretty okay with being around him
have you seen (Y/N), kitty? ♦️
you swat at his face with your paw, no claws and meow at him, wanting to just scream I’m here, you idiot!
Hisoka only takes a look at you and your eyes
and his eyes widen
Lovely? ♥️️
finally
after the apparent shock, Hisoka will take you home, asking you questions and pissing you off because you can’t answer him
it’s all fun and games until you actually scratch his hand and then he shuts up, thinking same old feisty (Y/N)
will take good care of you and you’ll be spoiled
and annoyed
always laughs when he starts playing with the red laser around the house and you chase it no matter what
loves working out with you on his back as an added weight - not much, but he even does this when you're in your human form, so it seems natural
he will look for the Nen user who did this to you if he’s alive and start questioning him on how to turn you back
and if not?
he’ll find a way
even if he has to look for a Nen exorcist
he misses you as you were and wants to hug you
also misses all your bantering
he's getting pretty sick of using Texture Surprise on all your scratches on his body
Illumi
Illumi will just stare at you incredulously
that did not just happen, right?
only that it did
and unfortunately, the Nen user got away
the whole family is going to look for them for this one, rest assured
meanwhile, Illumi decides to take care of you
there really isn't much for the two of you to do other than wait
but even like this, it's not too bad
gourmet food, daily brushing, playing with cat toys, sleeping in the sun on some of the most comfortable pillows - especially when Illumi isn't home
but when he is, you're glued to him
you always meow loudly and happily when he finally arrives
and after he showers and can finally relax
you come and massage his arms and chest with your little paws, just like in your human form
and yes, you push at him until he huffs and goes on his stomach so you can do the same to his back
Illumi likes the fuzzy feeling he gets in his stomach when you're done and he scoops you into his arms, with you purring loudly in content
Illumi can't really say that he likes you like this, though
he misses you and your voice and your fingers through his hair, braiding it
he can't wait to get you back

Hey can I get a jjxreader imagines where reader and jj are dating but john b and pope think it’s funny to “flirt” with you and jj gets jealous?
A/N: I made this a headcanon, I hope you like it either way.
Jealous - JJ Maybank
Words: 884 words
Type: Fluff (HC)
Summary: (What’s written on the request)
Warning: English is not my first language. Sorry if I misspelled something.
Tumblr media
A/N: Gif’s not mine :)
- You and JJ have been dating for some time now, which meant that you are basically very much apart of his friend group;
- When you weren’t with JJ, you would hang out with Kiara and Pope most of the time, but John B would usually join in after some time;
- One day, JJ was late to a group meeting and you were talking to John B and Pope;
- During that whole conversation, you three were sharing jokes and various embarrassing or funny stories about each other, which would result in everyone laughing;
- Inside jokes were born that same day, especially one about an old lady flirting with John B when he helped Pope with deliveries the past week;
- When JJ finally made his appearance on the porch, you were too busy laughing at the story and repeating what the old lady had said to notice who just decided to walk in;
- Saying that JJ was confused with the whole situation was an understatement;
- You then noticed him standing there and came up to him to greet him;
- You two sat down on a separate couch and started talking like any another day, but you noticed something strange about him once he asked you:
- “What were you talking about with John B?”
- Once you heard that, a lightbulb lit up above your head, there was no way this is happening;
- John B and Pope heard it as well and shared a look;
- This is too good;
- JJ was jealous of his best friends when they were just interacting with his girlfriend;
- After that day, interactions between you and the boys were never the same;
- That was when JJ was late or literally standing right next to you;
- They had no shame when he comes to making JJ angry, which was hilarious to them;
- Almost every time they would see you, John B and Pope would hug you as always and say something like:
- “Good morning princess”; “Hi baby”; “What’s up, buttercup?” (inside joke from the old lady);
- That wouldn’t anger JJ at all, which was never enough for the boys, but it was the beginning of a lot;
- When everyone would be at the beach, in the water or sand, John B or Pope would throw their arm on top of your shoulders and try and start innocent poking or tickling between you two;
- Now that would get under JJ’s skin;
- Everyone in the group thought it was hilarious when it would happen, even JJ once he would look back at how he acted, but at the moment, he could be furious;
- Your joking and playing with the guys would never go too far, they sometimes would splash you with water when you were trying to get in the sea, lay on you when you were sunbathing and they just got out of the water, chase you with a bucket of cold water, etc;
- Those were innocent jokes, and everybody would know that;
- Once you would notice JJ’s frown after some time, you would go sit by him and give him attention, which always ended up on the guys laughing and picking on him;
- “Dude, we were just playing” “No need to get all protective over her”
- JJ would ignore them in the first few minutes while pulling you closer to him as you laughed and hugged him close to you;
- After a few minutes, the guys would always come back to pick on him again;
- JJ, now calm, would just throw sand in their direction or tell them to shut up as everyone smiled at what was going on;
- The rest of the day, JJ would not let go of you;
- Like every other day, during the sunset, you all would sit on the beach chairs (and race to see who would get the hammock);
- JJ would always win the race, which would mean that you would win it too;
- You two would lay there while everyone else would sit on the chairs in silence, admiring the beautiful colors in the sky;
- When everything would be nice, quiet and everyone would be relaxing, someone would always (always) ruin it by talking;
- You were laying on JJ’s chest when you heard John B talk;
- “Hey, JJ”
- JJ would lean his head back from yours to turn and look at John B;
- “You don’t actually take anything that we do with Y/N seriously, right?”
- “No” “It just annoys me, sometimes”
- You would be half asleep when listening to this, so you wouldn’t care too much to turn and look at the guys;
- “Good” John B would say while nodding, which got JJ a little confused, “Cause she really got a good ass and it’s always nice to joke about it”
- Once those words would leave his mouth, JJ would send him a glare and you would laugh on top of him as you felt him tense up;
- JJ’s hands rub his face while taking a loud deep breath;
- “Remember I have a gun, Routledge” He would say, making everyone laugh;
- - - - 
A/N: Thank you everyone for interacting so much on my last post. I can’t believe that I actually made people cry on my last request, wtf?
THANK YOU!!

Hello, hello, hello! I loved your head canons about the warlords' ages and I wonder if you can write head canons of the warlords' profession, not in modern AU but the warlords deciding to go to the future with MC and well, the profession they would have!! Thank you so muuuuuuuuuch. 💕
Hi hi, love! 🌻Thank you sooo much for the ask! This is legit my third time writing this up, the first time I did this, I forgot to save the word file, and the second time my laptop crashed right after I finished writing it😭....... But finally, here it is🌻! I’m so happy you liked my HC, I hope you enjoy this one, and I hope you have a good day! ❤🔥
Headcanon: Warlords and their future jobs 
Nobunaga
Tumblr media
I think the second Nobunaga arrives in the future he would become a businessman
He would start off small from your apartment, but within the month he will turn into the biggest corporate leader, having thousands of people working under him
He would spend the first few weeks just chilling in the future with you but soon start to get bored
He would also, low key feel like its wrong for you to be supporting both of you
He does some research on stock trading and then starts playing around with your life savings
Good thing for you, Nobunaga is a clever man, and he manages to triple the money in a week by playing around on the stock market
He uses the income made, to start a small business, which soon starts growing at the speed of light
This man will not be able to work for someone so I can definitely see him being the CEO of his own company
He will be the ruler of the corporate world in no time
It’s pretty funny how in the span of a year he has earned the old name he once carried in the past “Devil king.”
Masamune
Tumblr media
This is a no brainer
Obviously he will be a chef
I think he would start off small like finding a job at a local café but then soon take the culinary world by storm
It started off when the two of you went to eat at one of your favourite cafes
He enjoyed the food so much, he couldn’t help but pop into the kitchen to thank the chef (◕‿◕✿)
The kitchen was absolute mayhem and the chef had told him that he was very short-staffed
And that is how Masa got his first future job
He worked in the café for a few months picking up experience and learning to use all the futuristic equipment
From there, he bounced around from place to place learning all sorts of cool culinary techniques
I think at the end of the day he will most likely open his own restaurant
One that specializes in authentic Japanese cuisine
Hell I wouldn’t be surprised if he opened a branch of the restaurant in Nobunagas company
Mitsunari
Tumblr media
I can see this cutie angel being a teacher or professor
I think he would be a great academic and educator
I can actually, see this boi being a professor teaching all sorts of subjects from statistics to the art of war ヾ(●ε●)ノ
The first few weeks of being in the future with you, he spends in the library absorbing as much knowledge as possible
One day while he is sitting and reading up on every and any subject, he overhears a group of struggling professors at a nearby table
Apparently they had been trying to solve a certain equation for months now but to no luck (ノಠдಠ)ノ︵┻━┻
Mitsunari walks up to the group and cheerily asks if he can be of some assistance (◕ᴗ◕✿)
Usually the group would just laugh and chase the random stranger away but desperate times…
They hand Mitsunari the equation and this clever boi takes one look at it and starts writing out the answer
The math professors were sister shook… Like he didn’t even freaken, need a calculator (◯Δ◯∥)
They legit offered him a job as a lecturer and he soon becomes the students’ favourite absent minded professor (◕‿◕✿)
I think he will most definitely also publish a few research papers as well and contribute to the body of knowledge in all sorts of subjects
Ieyasu
Tumblr media
Also super easy he will either be a vet or a doctor although I am leaning more towards veterinarian cause of his love for animals
He will most likely join Mitsunari in university, cause he is a super-smart porcupine he will become a certified vet in no time
Also spends the first few weeks of being in the future at the library absorbing as much medical knowledge as possible
He gets the idea of becoming a vet after watching a bunch of animal rescue shows on the national geographic channel 
While you are at work he starts volunteering at an animal rescue during the day to pass the time
That is where he met one of the vets that help out at the rescue in their free time, he legit liked Ieyasu so much he took him on as an apprentice, while Ieyasu was busy completing his studies
Later on he will most likely have his own veterinary practise
I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he starts his own animal rescue on the side as well
Within two years the two of you move to live on a big plot with all yours and Ieyasus rescued pets
Hideyoshi
Tumblr media
Hideyoshi could go one of two ways hehe 
If Nobunaga comes to the future with yall then you best be sure this boy is ganna help Nobunaga rule the corporate world
Buuuut if it’s just the two of you, I 100% see him becoming a primary school teacher
Like he would just be so good with kids
He is basically trademarked as mama hen anyways, so why not put him in a primary school to teach lil chics
I think he would be such a good teacher, supportive, kind, and patient
He has enough practise lecturing Nobunaga for bad behaviour, so he might as well put that to good use correcting the behaviours of troublesome kids
He gets into teaching when your sister drops her kid off at your apartment to babysit
You had work, so the only one that could care for the child was, the mother hen himself
He sat and taught the little boy how to read and write, this impressed your sister so much that she recommended him for the position of substitute English teacher at her child’s school
At first Hideyoshi worked as a substitute teacher, but soon he became the designated aftercare teacher and within a few months he was teaching his own class
The children absolutely adored him although they would sneak behind the school building to eat candy cause, they didn’t want to get yet another lecture from Yoshi on the negative health consequences of their favourite sugary treats
Mitsuhide
Tumblr media
100% detective (¬‿¬)
I mean can you just imagine how sexy he would look in a trenchcoat… like OMW (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
The first few weeks of spending time with you in the future you introduce him to CSI and Law and order and he is super fascinated
You are so amazed by the fact that he can figure out who the perp is 5 minutes into the show
The crime in your neighbourhood was pretty bad, but since Mitsuhide’s arrival something crazy happened 
The crime seemed to disappear. 
Like no more robberies, no more drunks walking up and down the street, just peaceful quiet calm neighbourhood 
One day as the two of you were buying snacks for your CSI bingeing session, two armed men came into the convenience store 
You looked over at your lover who seemed completely unphased, like one of the robbers were legit pointing a gun in his face, yet Mitsuhide looked uninterested
Within a blink of an eye, Mitushide managed to disarm the men and tie them up 
The police were hella impressed with the way Mitsuhide handled things 
He helped the police department solve a few petty crimes in your neighbourhood and soon they started calling him up, to help them crack some difficult cases
After a while he becomes the most famous and popular detective in town
The government low key recruits him as an agent to help them
Kenshin
Tumblr media
Again I don’t see Kenshin working for anyone
I think the first few weeks the two of you arrive, bunnies start following him around
Looks like the bunny lord is never safe from the love of the cute fluffy creatures 
The two of you will definitely be living on a bunny farm
Kenshin, although he doesn’t admit it, has a soft spot for the cute fluffy creatures 
So the bunny farm is actually more of a bunny rescue although that’s just his part-time job
As he adapts to the future, I can see the farm transforming into being a bunny and sake farm
Lol Kenshin loves Sake so much 
He knows how good sake should taste, so naturally he starts to make his own and sell it
This starts one day when a friend of yours invites the two of you to a sake tasting
The instructor was so impressed with Kenshin’s keen sense of taste that they got to talking and before Kenshin knew it, he had two people willing to sponsor him, to start his own sake brand
Naturally he never backs down from a challenge
He actually goes on to become the largest Sake producer and bunny rescue
Yukimura
Tumblr media
I can legit see this boy doing something active like being a firefighter or gym instructor- cause lets be real this boi is ripped
Or actually maybe both
The first few weeks of being in the future he managed to save 2 peoples lives by fearlessly running in a burning building
The firefighters were legit so impressed they decided to take him on as an intern
He got some of the perks, i.e. free gym membership to stay fit
That’s when he started giving out a few pieces of advice to the people around him
“Like seriously dummy, don’t you even know how to do a proper squat, u legit ganna hurt your back if ya keep doing it like that.”
The members of the gym appreciated his advice so much, some of them started paying him to become their instructor, and soon the gym decided to hire him part-time
Now when Yuki isn't running into burning buildings saving people he is training people in the gym 
Best be sure he is gonna drag you to the gym with him
Shingen
Tumblr media
Hehe I’ll admit I’m not too sure what this boi would get up to in the future
I think the first few weeks will be spent with you just adapting and getting to know everything
I think he would continue on with his carpentry
He kinda starts to notice your apartment is furnished in super cheap furniture
You tell him you are just a student in this time and don’t really have money to buy anything fancy
He buys a few cheap pieces of wood and starts furnishing your apartment with the most beautifully crafted furniture
Some of your friends visit the two of you and notice the remarkable craftsmanship and start commissioning him to make them some furniture
After a while he becomes the best carpenter in town
Goes on to open up a shop selling the different furniture he makes
I can see him hiring people in need, and that need a fresh start and then teaching them the trade to be able to make something of themselves
I can also see him volunteering at rescues and fostering bear cubs cause he misses his so much
I hope you enjoyed this dear and thanks again for the ask! ❤❤🔥🌻

Armie Hammer wants a sequel to The Man From U.N.C.L.E.—shouldn’t you?
This post is a long time in coming, Gentle Readers and @jammeke​, but now, though it might be here, before your very eyes, to think it will be well-laid out would be a mistake. It’s set to be just about as messy as Ilya’s misplaced loyalties and murky motivations.
Tumblr media
How dare!
I probably first watched this film well over a year ago (courtesy @jammeke​ posting things about it). I used Sling OnDemand (I think on TNT). In the ensuing viewings I also watched it in that way, but as I was sitting down for a fourth(?) viewing, it kept coming to me that I was tired of watching it with commercials I couldn’t skip, and I had a sneaking suspicion that it had been edited for time and I was missing out on scenes. [pointless aside: I was also watching the film in chunks, and never as a whole]
Tumblr media
Where is she now? What’s the time stamp? How far along did she get? Are you shagging the hotel hostess yet?
So, I, uh, set out to buy it on DVD—without any luck! In the sense that copies I could find cost more (w/ shipping) than buying it to stream. So, I bought it to stream on Amazon. Do I regret my choice, Gentle Readers? No, no I don’t. I do regret burden of knowledge in learning that TNT was already playing the entirety of the film. That was a hard pill to swallow.
Tumblr media
Nope, I’ve looked. That’s absolutely everything. Nothing additional lurking around here...
So here it is, as it is, @jammeke, “My Notes on The Man from U.N.C.L.E.”
Tumblr media
Look, I don’t know what this film is. I probably can’t fully articulate its appeal. Or maybe I can--certainly after transcribing four page I’ve tried. Number One thing to know about me and fiction/films is that a top draw for me is seeing something out of the ordinary, such as beautiful locations, a historical era, delicious costumes. There are times, frankly, this can trump weak story and undefined character for me. (The best films, of course, combine all three) Certainly, The Man... delivers in the delight of the eyes. Additionally, I must confess that growing up as a person older than @reblogginhood​ but younger than Miss Fisher, so much of what was on TV was essentially reruns of this film’s iconic Look(tm). So, when I see women dressed like Gaby I am just another three-to-seven-year-old overcome with the drop dead glamour of it all.
Tumblr media
Darling, tell me how you really feel...
Some questions I have:
·         IS Armie Hammer a hulk of a man? Everyone in this film seems to think so, yet he always tracks to me as trim (rather than hulking)
·         Why translate via captions some Russian speaking, but not all?
·         IS Napoleon’s backstory directly cribbed from USA’s White Collar?
·         DOES Gaby have a German accent?
·         Does Ilya get preternaturally attached to all the people he’s ordered to look after? Also, what is his bonding rate with kittens?
Tumblr media
Sorry, wrong iteration. 
 ·         If Lady Villain knows the lens is wrong—if her technical understanding is that in-depth--does she really need Gaby’s dad to make the bomb?
·         How old was Gaby during the war?
·         What happens when Ilya gets a NEW puppy assigned to him? (please let this be addressed in film #2)
Hooray for:
·         That bathroom fight! *all the Burn Notice feels!
·         Gaby is her own lady, and chooses sides as necessary—not always unilateral in her support for either male character. Case in point: she sides with Ilya over the clothes, and Napoleon over the incident of the wallet.
·         That delicious (speaking as Rusty, here) Ocean’s 11-stylized action. It’s pretty, so I’m not bored with it. Sometimes a sandwiched montage gets shown, so I’m REALLY not bored. I’ve got 18 tiny moving boxes of things to look at!
·         Pinkie rings. There, you’ve told me everything I need to know about that character.
·         Solo in a beret. English has not yet found a word for the feeling it evoked in this viewer. Somewhere between ‘precious’ and ‘oh, no’.
Tumblr media
See, there? Now you’ve felt it too.
·         Goggles! All the accessories! Dune Buggies! (I mean, that’s what I’m calling Napoleon’s chase-scene ride)
Tumblr media
Things I adore:
·         It seems (after some research) that more than a few folks view Gaby as a third wheel, and though she’s not exactly a Princess Leia commandeering her own rescue and exuding competence and a deserved take-charge-attitude at every corner, she IS a foci for both male characters (though romantically it would seem only for one), just as Ilya is a foci for both her and Napoleon [no one seems to worry about Napoleon, though they should--film #2, anyone?]
·         Mechanic Gaby not needing a beauty makeover, or being dragged into one. She gets some nice clothes, but it’s never suggested that she’s not attractive or acceptable before putting them on, and I respect, nay, embrace it.
Tumblr media
Oh, my heart. She’s still not as tall as them!
·         Ilya, drab pigeon Ilya, knowing fashion
·         Oh man, don’t even get me started on the power of the statement, “it doesn’t have to match”
·         You knew it was coming on this sublist: the wrestle-fight. I mean, c’mon. Poor little Gaby, locked behind the Iron Curtain, living a life of always being watched. She’s in the swankest hotel (I mean, Napoleon chose it, so we can be sure it’s swank with an E). She’s trying to celebrate her freedom, her liberation. She’s playing verboten music, she’s drinking to excess. Girl wants—and deserves—a party. And Ilya is…not built for that (that he knows of). For some fun, just imagine if she had been given Napoleon to room with instead.
                            o   I will say that this scene, and some of their other interactions have what I would call early (non-sibling) Luke and Leia energy. Ilya seems to have moments of being struck by Gaby in a way Luke is struck by Leia in the early part of the trilogy. When Leia takes charge, and Luke accepts it. When Leia does something incredible, and Luke is left open-mouthed. *no, I don’t see OT Star Wars in everything. Shut up.
·         “He fixed the glitch.”
·         Again, shout-out to the non-action action.
·         “I left my jacket in there.”
·         The whole race to rescue Gaby I am in love with beyond words. [I have noted it as “Crazy Jeep Drive with Warhead!”] Probably b/c it comes across as totally egalitarian. Both men want her rescued. They’re no longer in competition. It’s just as important to Napoleon as it is to Ilya to catch up to her. Also, it is bonkers, like some sort of X-games version of a commercial for the vehicles they’re driving. And screaming Willie Scott does not make an appearance.
         Someone says “winkle” out.
·         Look! Another note about the screen divisions and how I love it, shout-outs to the original Steve McQueen The Thomas Crown Affair (a contemporary of when this movie is meant to be set), and TV’s 24.
Tumblr media
Things that get a great, big NOPE:
·         Jerrod Harris: you’ve been in so much streamable content in the last decade I can’t hate you, but frankly, you’re terrible here—unless you’re supposed to be giving a mannered, not-campy-enough-to-be-enjoyable performance here. Your American English puts me in the mind of Alex Hawaii 5-0′Loughlin where it feels you’re concentrating so hard on your accent that you fail to convince anyone that you’re a harried, over-worked and exasperated spy handler. Your performance is at odds with every bit of dialogue you’re given to say.
·         That awful, mishandled title that doesn’t even connect to the film until the final moments (a sequel set-up, for sure)
·         Look, you don’t introduce Hugh Grant casually mid-way through your film in a throwaway appearance. I mean, he’s HUGH GRANT we all know something’s up now.
·         This is not exactly a great big NOPE, b/c I love a flat cap, Tommy Shelby—but I feel like a less tall man with a far rounder face in a flat cap would track more as Russian to me that AH does. To me, he just looks like he’s about to go golfing.
Tumblr media
Over par? Unacceptable!
·         Is Victoria a British-accented Italian? A British woman who married—what? Gaby’s uncle isn’t Italian!? An Italian who went to school in Britain? My head hurts. Also, is her hair meant to be unconvincingly bleached?
Other commentary:
·         Napoleon’s adult ne’er-do-well backstory is so far from being emotionally equivalent to Ilya’s childhood trauma [and his enslavement to the USSR] it seems bestial when he calls it out on multiple occasions. Badly done, Solo.
Tumblr media
·         Gaby is the film’s key (sorry, Buffy fans). Everyone is connected to her. Yes, she could have been given a bit more on the character front, but I don’t see her as as much of a flaw in the film as some others/reviewers seem to.
·         Look, essentially (and not very nuanced-ly), Ilya is a stalker. I think the film goes a certain distance in establishing that his early behavior toward Gaby is not normal, but concurrently it does not truly call him out on it. He’s essentially viewed as an odd-duck, sure, but not a true threat to her (should she not reciprocate or tolerate his intensity toward her). I think I might be able to cite his behavior when Gaby comes on to him (that he doesn’t jump at a chance with her) that maybe he’s given a little more nuance than a straight-on stalker, and it helps that he and Napoleon never get into a pissing match over Gaby’s person, only over her new clothes. But overall the film has to walk a fine line (and the jury is still out on how successful it is, I’d say) between playing Ilya’s laser-like attention to Gaby for its humor, and calling it out for the unsettling, threatening behavior it is.
Tumblr media
·         Honestly, it wasn’t until I engaged the Closed Captioning that I understood Napoleon was calling Ilya the ‘Red Peril’. So, that was nearly three viewings in.
·         I give the screen credits A+, on both ends. Not to mention the end credits are actually INTERESTING with lots to see and learn! (Certainly we learn more about HG in them than we do at any time during the film)
Tumblr media
Things I would have liked:
·         More of fish-out-of-the-Iron-Curtain Gaby moments
·         A better dichotomy shown of East vs. West Berlin/Germany. There’s nothing easy either visually or otherwise to distinguish the two.
·         HC being given a more specific American accent (from an actual locality). This, for an American viewer, works better than the flat, unlocated American accent many a British actor will bust out. *Mind you, HC does a generally good job, but he fails utterly on both “Immediate” which he pronounces at least twice as “immeedeejt” [rather than imm-E-deeot] and “Nazi” as “NAHT-zee” [rather than “NOT-zee”]. And let’s not get started on that late in the film use of ‘earnt’, a word that—well, it’s just not in the American English twentieth century lexicon.
·         C’mon. You gotta tease the Hugh Grant more.
·         Solo is a blank before the war. I’ve read thoughts on the film calling out Gaby as the blank character, but they’re wrong. Solo is the blank. He’s the ‘made’ man, his identity seemingly assembled during the war and after. For example, he doesn’t go into the war a thief, nor (it would seem) a particularly educated or urbane individual. Now THAT’s a juicy backstory I’d love to learn about, perhaps in film #2--or #3? What creates a Napoleon Solo? What would he be doing if he weren’t on the government’s leash/incarcerated? Is anyone left caring about him back wherever he calls home? I mean, who doesn’t love a gender-flipped 60s-era Holly Golightly backstory? [And yes, I would love there to be an ex-wife or even a current wife mixed up in his origins as well—Guy Ritchie, call me!]
Notes I have that I’m not sure if they still make sense to me:
·         Only mom calls me Napoleon (do he say it ‘mum’?) Is he a secret Canadian?
·         Solo’s torture, 1st view recall Napoleon’s childhood? *I think this means that after watching the first time I somehow erroneously believed that during the torture Napoleon’s childhood was a topic gone over. This was wrong. HOWEVER, this would have made far more story-sense than the backstory we’re given on an easily disposeable villain.
·         “Even the average Russian agent. You’re special.” ?
·         Uncle is Baddie (*so glad I made this note to myself)
·         Ilya’s dad IS an embarrassment. I’m not sure what genius commentary I had in my mind, here. Perhaps that Ilya himself is embarrassed of him? Not just Ilya’s handler’s? [Also, aside: Napoleon totally slut-shames Ilya’s mom, which is the doublest of double standards from ‘I got myself the biggest and most ornate suite b/c I-wanted-plenty-of-space-for-my-random-seductions’ and I really wish Ilya had thrown that back in his face] *yes, of course I know that Ilya and Napoleon would not likely equate a wife/mother’s sexual exploits with that of Solo’s, but let’s be honest, this film tweaks the nose of (I won’t say reverses, it doesn’t go that far) plenty of tropes and gender expectations, and this certainly seems like a missed opportunity to call Solo on the carpet (which I hope film #2 does far more)
Things I wrote down so long ago I don’t recall what they mean:
·         CC-save
In conclusion:
What does film #2 look like? What title does it get? Will the Peter/Neil White Collar dynamic continue to grow? *note that I have no confidence a second film will ever come to pass...
In the end, all I know is, “It didn't help when American Tom Cruise, who was slated to play U.S. spy Napoleon Solo, dropped out, prompting the casting of Cavill (who had previously read for the Russian role).“ I would not have watched that film.

RDR2 HCs my cat dragged in
Javier will deliberately not speak English for days when someone makes him mad. At first no one cares but after a while everyone is just upset that they can't understand him.
Dutch once made a rule in camp that you had to speak English because he was so mad at Javier for this.
Javier was pissed so he managed to rope in a few people to mess with Dutch.
Suddenly whenever Dutch goes into the near by town, full of immigrants from Europe, no one speaks English? All Dutch hears is strings of Italian, Spanish, French and German?
He stays in camp and it doesn't stop.
Strauss is speaking strictly in German. Javier is still only speaking Spanish. When Trelawny comes by? French only.
Dutch is so DONE he finally lifts the rule.
He nearly starts throwing a tantrum when Milton barges into camp and speaks French. He throws a chair and a shoot out ensues
All in all Javier is content.
One time Arthur and John really messed up a heist, like blew up a building messed up, and during the get away Dutch and Hosea were MAD but at each other because they didn't know it was their fault.
When they got back to camp Arthur and John said nothing as Dutch and Hosea called each other names and were sour with each other for a long time.
They didn't say anything because the two older men were so MAD and they didn't want to get in trouble. So they made a pact to never ever say anything about it.
John was a dirty child and he would always cause so much trouble for the women because he refused to stay clean or take baths.
Things only changed when one time he went into Dutch's tent during a really hot and humid day and Dutch was gagging. Gagging.
John actually kind of felt bad and Hosea got mad at Dutch for it, even though he couldn't help it. After that he decided to wash up more.
Arthur stole him some fancy soap and he smelt really good for a while. John was really happy about it.
When Arthur taught John how to shoot properly he nearly died because John almost shot them. Twice.
Sean and Lenny only fought once and they did when they were drunk. Neither of them remember why they were fighting but the fight last for like ten minutes before they both felt bad and hugged it out.
Hosea always checks in with Pearson to make sure everyone eats. They both like to make sure everyone eats before they do.
One time Dutch got drunk and wandered out of camp. He was gone all night until they saw him sprinting back into camp, his hands tied and without a shirt with an angry cat chasing him in the morning.
He still refuses to speak about but Hosea could've swore he heard Dutch mutter, "I can't believe I owe a horse money."
When they were younger and when Hosea was out of camp, Arthur and John used to like to annoy Dutch. Just always ask dumb questions, poke him, and just follow him around camp. It was a lot of fun and they got away with it because when Hosea got back they acted normal so it seemed like Dutch was mad at them for no reason.
No one in camp ever told Hosea the truth.
Once Grimshaw wanted everyone to learn how to properly dance for whatever reason. It ended up with everyone trying to dip someone they couldn't support and topple over.
It was actually a lot of fun and Grimshaw was happy even if most people didn't make any progress.
Sometimes Sade likes to wake up early and just take a walk by herself. She likes to think of Jake and just remember their lives together. She tries not to make herself sad but sometimes she can't help it.
Later on, once the gang is split up and she's on her own, she still thinks of him. She doesn't cry as much, but she stills misses him. She never really does remarry.
Jack once got a hold of a bottle of beer and took a sip. He hated it so much he threw all the beer in camp away. Abigail was laughing so hard she struggled to breathe.
Some more HCs for y'all. The whole Javier thing is actually something that happened at my middle school. A teacher got mad at the Spanish kids and said they could only speak English. Well, most of the school speaks English as a second language so it was a fun time.

Heyy can I get some cute child hood headcanons for Kamilah 😊
Hello, my friend! Sorry for the late response but here’s my attempt at a HC for Kami. This one’s actually more like a story on bullet points hahah
~•~
Pairing: MC (Amy) x Kamilah Sayeed
Warnings: Nah fam, just fluff and cute stuff.
English is not my native language so I’m sorry if something sounds out of place or any grammar mistakes etc!
~•~
Vampire or human, Kamilah would always be as gentlest as she could when holding Amy.
Amy would take advantage of the rare opportunities when her girlfriend was in that sweet state and ask her about the good memories, back when she was at least less than 500.
That day, Amy asked her to talk about her childhood memories.
Kamilah either chuckles, smirks or smiles every time Amy brings up the topic, specially when she asks about her twin brother Lysimachus (her favorite memories are with him).
She’d tell her how they used to get in trouble more than people, and their parents, expected.
Like those times when Lysimachus would steal one of Kamilah’s toys or jewelries and wait for her to chase him around the house until something was left broken.
Little Kamilah was way too cute for anyone to blame her.
So her brother would take the blame pretty much every time something “bad” happened.
She was lowkey her parents’ favorite.
Lysimachus would help her when she couldn’t understand something while studying.
They were (sometimes over-) protective with each other.
But Kamilah was the jealous one (especially if she saw him talking to a girl).
Even though their family was pretty rich, their parents made sure to teach them to work hard for what they wanted.
Reason why Kamilah never mentions her riches if it’s not completely necessary (or she wanted to throw a bit of sass), but nonetheless, she’d never settle for anything less than what a queen like her deserves.
Kamilah wasn’t a “sporty” kid but if Lysimachus wanted to play with her, she’d learn the game/sport just to please him.
She’d have tons of fun but wouldn’t admit it to him. Though, he knew which ones she enjoyed and not.
To be honest, didn’t really know how to end it so I just left it there. Hope you liked it and tysm for being my first request!!

@bluearrow126 So, I may or may not have stalked your hcs for your birthday present, and found drunk Trini dancing on furniture. Anyways.... Happy Birthday for yesterday!!! Hope you enjoy it! (the crack is stong in this one-shot) - - - - The Rangers are no strangers to the occasional drink. By the campfire, mostly, but when Kim's parents are out of town, they tend to stray towards the large home. They usually say it's because they can pass out with plenty of room surrounding them. Realistically, it's so that Kim and Trini don't have to sneak off to some abandoned part of the cliffs and the boys don't have to hear the loud, echoing moans. Not that it's any better in the house after Kim leads the two to her room, but at least they can turn the music up to cover the awkward silence they find themselves in. They're used to it by now. Tommi? Tommi is not used to it. She's used to Jason being the leader, Billy being the rambler, Trini being the quiet one, Zack and Kim being the loud, reckless ones Okay, so Zack and Kim aren't much different. But Trini? Trini comes as the biggest shock. Maybe she's getting a little ahead of herself.
-
“The green coin has been going insane recently,” Zack remarks as he enters the ship. Billy nods next to him, “I've been monitoring the energy it has been generating since Rita was flung into space. Over the past couple of weeks the coin has been emanating strong waves of Zeo energy that-” “Uh, English for those of us that barely graduated, dude,” Zack laughs. “Right. The green coin has been reactivated.” Silence washes over the group, and Trini stumbles back, “does, does that mean- Rita- she-” Kim quickly steps in, holds Trini's cheek in her palms, “baby, no. Rita is a floating popsicle. Right, B?” Billy shifts under Kim's stern gaze, scratches the back of his neck, “well we never actually-” “Rita is long gone,” Jason assures, “but even if she has found a way to come back, we'll fight her. Together.” “So, what do we do?” Nobody moves to answer Trini, because they don't know how. How does Jason tell her everything will be okay after Rita caused her the most damage mentally? How does Billy tell her the coin being activated may not be a bad thing when Rita killed him? How does Zack tell her not to jump to conclusions when he's thinking the exact same thing? How does Kim tell her that she won't let anything happen to her when she wasn't there for her the first time? They can't. Instead, Kim steps more into Trini's space with the softest, most encouraging look she can muster and says, “we wait. We train, we prepare, and we wait.” Trini wrinkles her nose, “how can you be so bad at pep talks when you're a cheerleader?” Kim rolls her eyes, “ex-cheerleader.” “Not last night you weren't,” Trini smirks. “Ew, my ears! My poor, sensitive ears,” Zack shouts while Jason chuckles. “I didn't know you were back on the squad, Kimberly.” Kim's face flushes red as Trini's smirk widens, before she attempts to convince Billy that Trini was joking and she's not back on the team. It may have been at Kim's expense, but she relaxes when she sees the fear of Rita dim in Trini's eyes. If only a little.
-
As it turns out, they don't have to wait long to find out what's been going on. Trini and Kim are training when they feel it. Feel the vibrations of the ship, and one look is all it takes for them to know what is happening. They run to the deck and freeze. “Where is it?” “I don't know,” Kim whispers. She clicks her fingers in rapid succession, “hey, didn't Billy say we can link our coins, like a- a-” “Tracker? Yeah, but he's the only one that knows how to-” Kim shakes her head, “we'll figure it out. Or we can get Alpha to-” “We can't let Alpha know yet. He'll tell Zordon and-” “Zordon will be all Zordon about it. Okay, yeah, let's try this.” The two try to remember the directions Billy gave them in order to track the coins, but as they place theirs in their respective slot, they sag when nothing happens. “Ugh, this is stupid,” Trini groans, slams her hand on the console, “why can't things ever be simple?” Just as she asks the rhetorical question, her hand lights up and she looks down in shock to see it being scanned with a thin yellow line, shifts her gaze to see the scanner by Kim's coin glowing full pink. “Put your hand on that,” she gestures with her head and Kim pulls a face as she warily places her hand down. The scanner beeps once before it begins the same cycle as Trini's, and they both wince slightly as a pin pops out and pricks their fingertips. 'Connected, Yellow Ranger.' 'Connected, Pink Ranger.' “Alright, that's cool,” Kim grins, “it's like a video game.” Trini looks to the ceiling in exasperation, “what is it with you and Zack comparing the ship to a video game?” “Don't be mad that I'm better than you at a first shooter, baby.” “Can't beat my knife kills though.” Kim huffs, “knife kills are cheating and you know it.” “Whatever. So what do we do now?” Trini taps her fingers on the scanner. “Like, do we ask it or what?” Kim shrugs. “You're helpful. Okay scanner... thing... lead us to the green power coin.” A beam flies out from the console and the next thing they know they're stood at the edge of town, witness a motorbike on the ground and a still body metres away from it. “What the hell?” Kim rushes forward, Trini following closely behind until they reach the unmoving figure. The unmoving figure that has a green glow from their hand. “Trini...” “I can see it. Do you think,” Trini doesn't finish. Kim doesn't answer. They can't, because as quickly as they arrive, the body teleports into thin air. “Did, uh-” “Yep.” “Like we maybe-” Kim nods, “yep.” “After the train-” “Uh-huh.” Trini purses her lips, “right. Cool. Cool, cool, cool. So, there's a new Ranger in town. With Rita's coin. This... is not going to end well, is it?” Kim shrugs, “we should probably tell the boys.” Trini hums. “But can we take the bike for a spin first?” “I thought you'd never ask.”
-
Jason stands firm as he glares at them. “So instead of telling us, or trying to find this new person, you decided to ride around town on a motorbike?” “Pretty much,” Kim replies while Trini shrugs. He doesn't need to know that Trini needed the distraction from the green coin being back in action. “We need to go and find them. Do you guys not remember what is was like for us?” “Uh, yeah I do,” Zack says excitedly, “I jumped over a fucking house, dude. And then a cliff.” “Only to chase the pretty girl,” Kim chuckles. Zack gawks, “oh, like you didn't do the same? You literally ran past me to get to her first you bi mess.” “Don't forget Kimberly swerved awkwardly to follow Trini at the mines and lost a shoe.” “Thanks, B.” Kim pouts, “they were my favourite boots.” Jason huffs, “I think you're missing the point...” “How about when you tried talking to her when we first came inside the ship and she shut you down hard. Or when you ran after her out of the deck. Or straight after when you made some shit up about her just to pretend you didn't know who she was,” Zack giggles to himself, “good times.” “Guys focus!” Zack zips his lips and Kim sucks hers into her mouth while Trini shakes her head at their antics. Jason takes a deep, calm breath, “look, we were lucky we had each other, but this person isn't. We need to find them before they cause some serious damage. They're probably confused as hell and-” The doors to the ship's deck slide open and they all turn in shock. “Huh, so this is where the Power Rangers hang out.” The figure looks around the ship in wonder before she settles on the five of them. “I know... none of you. I'm Tommi. Tommi Oliver. Now would somebody like to tell me why the fuck I woke up with superpowers and wrecked half of my apartment?” “I don't think they're as confused as you think, boss.” Jason frowns, “yeah, thanks, Trini.”
-
“So I moved here about three weeks ago, just a girl and her bike, and the next thing I know I wake up with this... glowing green shit that won't leave me alone.” Trini sits slightly behind Kim, wary and judging, ready for Tommi to randomly turn into Rita, and Kim keeps one arm over Trini's body, makes it look like she's holding her knee just because, instead of making it seem like it's in protection. “We found you on the road near your bike,” Kim explains, “looks like you had a pretty serious accident.” Tommi raises a brow, “and you didn't, I don't know, think to call an ambulance?” “The coin teleported you away before we could even take your helmet off. I'm guessing to heal you like it did us.” “Where is my bike?” Kim blushes as Trini bites her lip to hide a chuckle, before Zack pipes up. “Trimberly took it for a joyride. It's in the Zord bay.” “Dude!” “You stole my bike? Wait, what the hell is a 'Trimberly'?” Zack gestures with his hands as if to say 'duh'. “Trini, Kimberly, Trimberly. Obviously.” After they- predominantly Billy- explain the situation to Tommi, she begins to settle, before they introduce her to Zordon and Alpha, but Trini is still a little on edge, and Tommi notices. “Have I done something to offend you?” Before Kim can come in to defend her, Trini squints her eyes, “the last person to hold the green power coin came into my room in the middle of the night and tried to choke me.” She shows Tommi the still remaining scars. “Then she killed Billy. So yeah, sorry if I'm not overly welcoming.” “You aren't overly welcoming anyway, babe,” Kim whispers before Trini smacks her in the ribs with her elbow. Tommi works her jaw, nods in understanding, “the chick with the big gold monster thing, right? It was all over the news when I was back in Alaska.” “So why did you move here?” “Honestly?” She looks directly at Trini. “I have no idea. I got on my bike and ended up here, can't explain why.” Billy butts in, “like we were drawn to the mines. The coin already knew, it was just waiting for you.” “Why me?” And that's the question, isn't it? The question they've all repeatedly asked themselves time and time again. In a shocking twist, it's Trini that answers, “because it sees something in you.”
-
Ah, and that brings them full circle. It's taken Tommi roughly two weeks to begin finding her place, and from what she's come to learn in those couple of weeks, Jason is the leader, Billy the rambler, Trini the quiet one, and Zack and Kim are the loud, reckless ones. But serious Rangers compared to drunk Rangers? Totally different ball game. The evening begins after they've defeated some idiotic monster that's once again after the crystal, and Kim dusts off her jeans- they hadn't even needed their armour for this one-, “the 'rents are away, my house?” “Yes,” Zack drags out, “ain't no party like a Kim Hart party 'cause a Kim Hart party got me.” Kim blinks. And stares. And stares some more. “Okay so Zack is officially uninvited. Anyone else?” “You wound me, Kimmy.” Of course they all agree. Well, Trini was never not going to end up at Kim's house when it's going to be empty. And they all look to Tommi for an answer. She shrugs, “I didn't realise we were there yet.” Zack slings his arm around Tommi's shoulders, “you're stuck with us now. No going back.” “You're not invited, Zack.” “Kimmy let me live!” Tommi laughs as she follows them all, Zack and Kim unrelenting in their banter until Trini huffs and spins to bring Kim into a solid kiss before she pulls back and smirks at a dazed Kim, “leave him alone.” “Okay, baby,” Kim mumbles instantly. Zack coughs, “whipped.” “At least I'm getting some.” Trini clears her throat and they both shut up as Tommi raises her brow, impressed, before she looks over to Jason and he lifts his shoulders, “sometimes it's easier to let Trini step in.” Billy nods, “Trini is the only person they both listen to.” “It's because I withhold bro time with Zack and sex time with Kim.” “She's like the unofficial big sister of the group,” Zack whispers. Kim scrunches her nose, “gross, dude.” “Well not for you,” Zack rolls his eyes. Tommi stares in awe at the Hart residence, “damn.” She doesn't see Kim smile sadly. Doesn't see Trini squeeze her hand. Because a huge house is nothing when it feels so lonely the majority of the time. Another reason Kim likes having them all over. Jason and Billy make their way to the kitchen once they're inside to collect the booze while Kim leads the others to the living room, claims her usual spot on the loveseat and pulls Trini on top of her while Zack slouches in one of the chairs, leg thrown over the armrest. Tommi stands awkwardly until Kim gestures around the room, “Billy and Jason usually take the couch, so you can have the other chair.” Tommi sits almost timidly, a complete contrast to the confidence she exudes in the field. “So... what happens at these things?” Trini lifts a brow as she slide so her back is against the arm and her legs drape over Kim's, Kim's hand automatically finding its place on her thigh while the other holds out to take a glass Jason offers her, Trini taking her own with a bland, “we get drunk.” “You're so eloquent,” Kim scoffs, “it's just something we sometimes to do wind down. Training can get get on top of us a little, and with work or college, it's nice to just chill for the night.” Jason settles down into the couch and throws his head back as he closes his eyes, “and it also helps us stay connected. Except for training, sometimes we all get too busy for each other, we need to keep our bond strong.” “You just get needy, loser,” Trini plays, “I'm more than happy not seeing any of you.” “Hey!” Trini kisses Kim's cheek, “you don't count.” “What about me?” “You neither, B.” She ignores Zack's protests. Billy grins into his next sip and Tommi sniffs her drink before she takes a large gulp, spits it out immediately and they all chuckle as she wipes her mouth. “Jesus, what is that?” Jason smirks sheepishly, “sorry, we should've warned you. It takes us a lot more to get drunk because of our ability to heal, so regular beer won't cut it. Billy made this. You get used to it.” “Gross,” Tommi says as she attempts another sip with a grimace. Zack nudges Tommi's shoulder, “so how are you finding being a Ranger so far?”
-
They've been talking for two hours before Zack brings a playlist up, connects it to the speakers in the room and Tommi observes the subtle changes in the group. Trini and Kim have long forgotten that there are other people in the room, whispering and giggling and touching. Lots of touching. Trini has taken to squirming in Kim's lap to the music as she sings softly down Kim's ear. Jason has sunk further into the couch, pure relaxation on his features. Zack is beginning to talk louder and louder as the booze hypes him up, and Billy is having his own little jiggle on his side of the couch. But it takes another hour for the alcohol to properly hit them, and Tommi's eyes widen as Trini bolts up at the new, faster beat that pounds through the speaker. “Yo! This is my jam!” Before Tommi can comprehend what's happening, Trini is up and dancing... well, if grinding into nothing but air can be considered dancing. Trini runs her hands through her hair as her hips sway and her knees bend before she's pointing at an entranced Kim, raps along- Trini can apparently rap, too- And shuffles into the middle of the room before she backflips, fucking backflips, onto the coffee table. She lowers herself until her ass is nearly touching the table before she works her way back up, uses the length of it to slide back and forth. Kim hollers as she sits on the edge of the loveseat, “yeah, baby! Work it.” Trini winks. “What... is... happening?” Zack chuckles at Tommi's question as he unlocks his phone and brings up the camera, presses record, “wait for it, it gets better.” Trini dances like there should be a pole for her to use, or like there's a body next to her, and seconds later Tommi sees waves of green before her. “Here we go again,” Jason remarks lazily, his eyes open in a slit and an amused lilt greets his lips. Dollar bills fly towards Trini's frame as Kim throws them in her direction and Trini crawls along the table to collect them, shoves them in the waistband of her sweats and into her bra when she stands back up. Zack wolf whistles next to Tommi and Trini spins to face him, bends and sings directly into the camera. “Watch this,” Zack mumbles as he skips the current song. Trini 'whoops', recognizes the tune instantly, and honestly it should be surprising to Tommi that Trini, heavy metal Trini, loves rap so much, but it's probably the least surprising thing that's happened so far. The Spanish filtering through the speakers is drown out by Trini. Tommi can't understand the words, but from Kim's darkening expression, she has an inkling. Trini faces Kim again, smirk firmly in place as her tongue rolls over the lyrics, hands out in front of her and beckoning Kim to join her. Kim stands, hypnotised, as Trini leans forward and pulls one of the bills out of Kim's hand with her teeth. This... this is not the Trini that Tommi has come to kind of know. “I don't know if I'm terrified or turned on.” “What?!” Oops. She said that out loud. Kim turns on her, but before anything more can happen, Trini grabs Kim's jaw to bring the focus back on her, her hips add an extra sway and Tommi hears Jason idly counting down from five. He reaches one just as Kim gives in and grabs at Trini's thighs, lift her to secure them around her hips as Trini squeals Kim's name and Kim glares at Tommi once more as she carries Trini away from the room. Tommi lets out a light breath, “well, mark me down as scared and horny.” Zack turns the camera off and licks his lips, “you know, if you want any help with that...” She pushes him away with a snort, “not in your wildest dreams, Taylor.” “Your loss,” he shrugs. He turns up the volume to an almost unbearable level and Tommi frowns. “Trust me, you're not going to want to hear what comes next.” He pauses. Waits. Laughs. “That would be Trini,” Billy adds with a slur, high-fives Zack while Jason simply shakes his head. Tommi can't help but join in. What the hell has she gotten herself into?

Poly Bowers Gang HC’s
o lookie lookie 
Belch (I prefer calling him Reg or Reggie to Belch tbh)-
·         I see Reggie as more of the enforcer within their group dynamic.
·         The other guys can get kind of carried away and he’s the first to tell them to leave you the hell alone if he thinks they’re making you uncomfortable
·         After a thorough fucking he’s the one who’d gently kiss your temple and tell you how good you were
·         He always lets you sit in the front seat and glares over his shoulder at the others when they whine about it. As far as he’s concerned, it’s HIS car and you deserve the front seat, dammit. (He actually just wants to watch the sun hit your face and keep you away from Patrick)
·         The other guys give him hell because he’s so sweet on you but he just can’t help how much he adores you awe
·         The others laugh because you would never call him Belch and he blushes every time you call him Reggie
·         He’s the one you’d call after all your best friends stood you up for your girls-night-in sleepover plans. He’d hear your disappointed voice and the sniffles and sigh. He shows up at your house 20 minutes later with the fuckboy squad in toe.
·         You ask if he’d do a face mask with you and he looks panicked as fuck
·         But the second you hit him with those lovey eyes, he relents
·         The other guys sit around and snicker as you apply cerulean goo to his face but he couldn’t care less because the smile on your lips is everything to him tbh.
·         Henry tells him he’s such a girl, and Belch hits him with some “a real man would do anything to put a smile on his girl’s face” shit and Henry just slinks tf away
·         He drives you to school every day, and sometimes when your parents aren’t home, he comes in and eats breakfast with you and helps you finish getting ready.
·         He helps you pull your hair back and ties your shoes for you awawawe
·         Always opens your car door for you
·         You wear his t-shirts to school after spending the night with him and he gets all heart-eyed and thinks you look so cute.
·         He sees you in your faded jeans, with a bow in your hair, and his ratty Judas Priest shirt on and his cheeks get all hot cause he just thinks you’re the cutest.
·         For his birthday, you go to his house while he’s at work and you and his mom cook him his favorite dinner (chicken parmesan and fettucine), and you and the gang hang up a banner and surprise him.
·         You didn’t have much money so you made him a cassette mix tape and take them to the bakery on main street for cupcakes, and you all serenade him right there on the sidewalk outside the shop.
·         He tries SO HARD to keep up with your friend drama because he likes that you come to him to talk but fuck, you have so many friends. Who’s Trish?? Where tf did Emma come from? When the hell did Lisa come into the picture?
·         Takes care of you on your period like his mom told him to.
 Victor  
·         Vic is the one you go to about your friend drama and knows exactly what you’re talking about.
·         “Oh my god who does Lisa think she is talking to Gemma about you like that? I’ll kick her ass idc.”
·         Says goodbye with a firm slap on the ass
·         Smiles at the tiny squeak you make every time he slaps the ass
·         Always gives you candies out of the pockets of his vest
·         He says he keeps them to put a smile on your face and you know he stole that shit
·         Loves to rest his head in your lap and let you play with his hair
·         He gets this blissed out, barely conscious look when you gently scrape your nails across his scalp
·         Stares in slack-jawed appreciation when you wear those little skirts that sway when you walk
·         When you’re having a bad day, he paints your nails
·         He notices you getting nervous and scraping the polish off and just grabs your hand away and squeezes it.
·         Smacks Patrick over the head for making lewd comments about your body in public
·         “Dude, watch your fucking mouth, she’s a lady.”
·         You have study hall together, and you sit with your Walkman cassette player in between you, listening to KISS and holding hands, and reading your English class assignments
·         KISS is so not his cup of tea but he doesn’t mind them.
·         He knows you love them so he sits put and listens anyway

  Patrick
Patricks are the dirtiest
·         Rarely allowed to be alone with you
·         Loves to say creepy shit just to watch you squirm
·         By far the most dominant and thinks aftercare is stupid lmao
·         He likes that you somewhat want to impress him
·         JEALOUS as hell of how much Henry adores you
·         And really, how much they all adore you
·         One time he got the sense that you might actually be real
·         Which freaks him out, and he can’t shake the feeling
·         He compensates for this by going out of his way to make you uncomfortable
·         Says creepy shit in public
·         Puts his hand up your skirt at the lunch table
·         More or less only touches you because he’s allowed to
·         He likes your hands a lot, he likes holding them, he likes when you touch him with them because they’re so gentle and soft
·         Comes and visits you at night because he just likes to be near you
·         At first it was unsettling but now you’re used to it and know he won’t try anything
·         As scared as everyone already is of the whole gang,
·         They’ll never fuck with you because Patrick is too damn scary
·         You had a one-on-one night once
·         The next day, the gang came over to hang out and you had welts on your chest from where Patrick dripped candle wax on you, bloodied bite marks on your collarbones and were limping
·         Belch punched him in the fucking face
·         He knows you probably liked it but the idea of Patrick getting too carried away without anyone there to stop him worries him
·         (I honestly think he’s just always looking for reason to punch Patrick lmao. If asked why, he’d shake his head and say “that boy ain’t right” mister fuckin hank hill)
·         He likes to brush your hair which is weird to the other guys but you seem ok with it, so…
·         The first time you met his mother she was visibly shocked that someone actually wanted to spend time around him yikes lmao
·         You wear one of his rings on a necklace because it slides off your fingers
·         Gets the roughest with you during sex and the guys are always wary of the fact that you actually seem to enjoy it.

Why hello!I am back once more to bring you HCs for the NATM au, currently run by @gsnkhurray on their new blog @aphmuseum which is just for this au!
Okay, enough promoting for now let us jump right in again!
So the other day (lol two weeks ago cause I’ve been lazy and left this in my drafts for too long), after the art with Fran and Lud in it, where Lud was a painting/picture person, really got me thinking. Of  course, do not my writing affect how you see this au :)
~I watched This Clip a few times to get a taste for how people interact inside a painting/picture and how to enter the painting/picture and decided to just link it so y'all can see too if you haven't watched the movie~
For Lud, I think it would be pretty cool if he was a writer in his picture, sitting at a very neat, organized, polished desk in a very ratty looking room. Possibly after WW1..? Germany was poor then, as literally everyone knows, and I kinda imagine Lud being a writer, talking about his friends’ struggles out on the battlefield. Lud wouldn't have a lot of money but he would pride himself in looking clean and well kept despite his apartment being old and worn. His desk would be the only thing he had left of his old life so he’d keep it an an polished. I see him wearing something like this but...Cheaper? That probably isn't the right word.
Tumblr media
He aint got a lot of money but he’s got brains. He’s a good writer and he does NOT like when the other figures try to get in his picture. It won’t go over well. He likes his peace and quiet! He’ll pretty much do whatever it takes to keep them from poking their noses into his business! Secretly though, he does write a whole lot about what goes on in the museum
I was kinda thinking a lot about Raj (India) lately and thought about how cool it would be if he was a painting? Something with him being part of the Salt Marches? Where you have him as the main subject of the painting and you can kinda see the ocean back behind him y’know. If you were to put your head in that painting you’d be face to face with Raj, that makes him super uncomfortable so he won’t hesitate to reach out and push you back a bit. Of course he’d never hurt anyone, he just wants his personal space! His portrait is shoulders up but he can get his arms out if he must I looked at a whole bunch of outfits for this and just decided to put a pic of a group here to show off a few different kinds of clothing. I was going to take something from the Gandhi movie but I couldn't find the exact scene i anted, its alright though 
Tumblr media
I also really like the idea of Natalya being in a photo, showing off some of the fine Russian women who helped out in ww2 who don’t even get enough recognition at all! I think Nat would have made a wonderful sniper and her photo would be a larger one so everyone could see the details in the ladies uniforms and faces. Nat’s a sniper, and a badass woman. She’d be there with her squad of snipers and they’ll all be smiling except her cause war is not something to smile about in her book. She doesn’t really mind people coming into her photo cause that means she gets to talk to other people than the three ladies in there with her. She doesn’t talk much, but Nat likes to listen to others speak to her. Plus she always remembers something someone tells her, like if Alfred poked his head into the photo and rambled on about horses, she would be able to point him out and remember what he said, even though she had no idea what he said cause she doesn’t speak English. The ladies uniforms all look cool, I know I saw that for all uniforms and old-timey clothing but man, it really is cool to see these ladies all out there fighting like equals I kinda see her in something like this
Tumblr media
or this with a coat
Tumblr media
Okay, remember those funny little guys from the movie? The little Roman and the little cowboy from the miniature battle sets? I really feel like Gil would be part of one of those, showing parts of the Napoleonic Wars. I’ve been reading up on that recently, cause when I’m bored I turn to history to entertain me, and so I feel that in whatever museum they’re all in, it should include a little something from this part in history, yeah?
Tumblr media
I feel like he’s end up being an officer of some sort so uniform one or two would be Gil already has that annoying, loud person in a small body personality so this kind of thing really seems to fit him? You gotta be careful not to step on him though man. He’s also slightly insecure about his height since his best friends are full sized figures but he takes advantage of his height to prank other people. He’ll go into Lud’s picture and knock his pencil cup over or hide his shit or he’ll put Alfred’s fake bullets in his boots or maybe he’ll even dare to go into the animal exhibits and try to ride the monkeys to terrorize everyone else
Miscellaneous hcs:
Lud is legit writing a book, or trying to, but most days he finds himself writing a lot about things he witnesses in this museum ‘...And then I was forced to watch the small Japanese man chase the obnoxious American down the hallway from my frame prison..’
Nat can understand Ivan and the two of them actually talk a lot when Ivan actually has his goddam helmet off
Lud wishes that he could throw Gil out of his picture but he’s too nice...He doesn't want Gil to actually get hurt
Raj loves when Kiku or Yao come to his painting case even though hey cant understand each other, he feels like they can relate to him the most...Cause they’re all old
Gil is the little asshole of the whole museum. Everyone knows him and they do their best to keep him away except Fran and Toni, who find him absolutely hilarious
You can tell when Lud and Gil are fighting cause German yelling will just get louder and louder, dear lord
Alfred and Gil get along well too cause they're the troublemakers
Every night, Raj rays for peace and quiet but does he ever get it?..No. Not at all
I hope you guys enjoy this as much as I enjoy writing these! :)

Unholy Wrap-Up
I have spent far too much time thinking about this lesbian vampire fanfiction. Here’s several walls of text about it.
I would advise reading the fic if you want any of this to make sense. 
Breakdown
(Rough) Alliteration Count: 185
Least Favourite Chapter to Write: 12 (Do you know how long I spent trying to find a picture of an 80s heart monitor? Too long. That, and it’s hard for a character to wield their new-found confidence and inner strength when they’re stuck in a hospital bed, but that’s on me.)
Favourite Chapter to Write: 8 (It turns into a fucked up Scooby Doo mystery a third of the way through, and that’s great. Also, something fluffy happens to warm the reader’s (and my) heart, because I was going to rip it out next chapter.)
Favourite Line: “Fuck off, Dracula”
Least Favourite Line: “Fuck off, Dracula”
 Notes from Chapters that didn’t get their own post
Chapter 2:
The correct answer to Chandler’s question of “How many people are at that table?” is two, not one. Hi, Betty.
Chapter 4:
Chandler was originally going to put her fist through her mirror as a reference to a scene in the film, but I decided that she’s already broken one glass item of furniture, better not do that again. Besides, why take out your anger on your possessions when there’s a perfectly good person to use instead?
Chapter 6:
Hi, Betty.
Jason Dean is involved in the plot again. Everyone welcome back this well-intentioned murderer.
Chapter 7:
This chapter exists for two reasons: to establish Betty is dead, and for the Fuckbois to disappear. And so Ram’s pick-up line has some payoff. Three reasons, actually.
Duke made Veronica cry, so she takes V’s place in the ‘no-killing’ experiment. Still fucked up, but slightly less fucked up than straight up killing her. Or moreso, depending on your opinion.
Chapter 8:
Duke overheard something about about the expedition, and brought Chandler along with her so she could get V and H.Mac in trouble (and maybe distract everyone from how badly she fucked up).
I left it deliberately vague on what H.Mac and V were being chased by because I hadn’t finalised Kurt and Ram’s look yet.
Hi, Betty.
Chapter 9:
“Heather is done for come 3 P.M.” HA HA HA HA HA.
I chant, I pray, but God’s not there/so Steve, I’m ending our affair
 Meta
There was a conscious effort to blend the worlds of the movie and the musical. Doing that opened up a few more avenues for minor characters and certain elements of characterisation (Duke not being completely unsympathetic, for one). The prime example of this is Schrodinger’s Betty – she either appears for a short time to provide insight into Veronica’s character, or is removed from reality and her personality incorporated into Martha Dunnstock. I had it so she did exist in the world, but wasn’t around for whatever reason.
The fic was originally called ‘Renfield’, with the tagline ‘real life sucks losers dry’. It’s still sort of present in the earlier references to Veronica’s questionable mental stability (“A record of her spiral into insanity”, “Clearly, she was going crazy”), but using either would have given away the first major twist. For this reason, puns on the phrases ‘this sucks’ or ‘this bites’ were also out. I went with ‘Unholy’ instead, and stuck some vague religious references in there to justify the decision to myself.
I was deliberately vague about whether or not this was set in the modern day or in 1989. You would not believe how happy I was when I found out Halloween was on a Tuesday in both 1989 and 2017. Pick whichever time period suits you.
There’s a lot of threes in this work. I have a habit of listing three things (adjectives or events), Veronica is accepted by her third college preference (Harvard, Duke or Brown) and I tried to have it so something significant happened every three chapters (3: HC kills a man, 6: HC and V start their relationship, 9: HC dies, 12: the two are reunited, and Betty appears). 
I am from a country that uses British English. I cannot convince Microsoft Word that this is the case. No matter how many times I change the default language, it switches back to US English when I’m not looking. It doesn’t pick up Grey/Gray, however, and that’s why it’s spelt with an ‘e’ all the time.
 The Curious Case of Heather Chandler
I was picking and choosing different parts of vampire mythos, like many authors do, but I took primary inspiration from Victorian vampire fiction. Ya boi Dracula is certainly there, but most of it was from works that predated Bram Stoker’s.
One of the more important sources is Varney the Vampire, who is one of the first examples of a sympathetic bloodsucker (still the antagonist, though). He isn’t weakened by sunlight, rather, he is strengthened by moonlight. He has no aversion to garlic or religious symbols, and tends not to react well to normal food and drink.
The no sleeping thing was mostly me, though. It’s possible you’ve read or heard the phrase “Sleep is like death without the commitment”. Well, if you can’t die, you can’t sleep either. Them’s the rules.
The next issue was to justify to myself how exactly she was turned in the first place. The most likely culprit, goth boy Jason Dean, was out, because 1) it would mess with the whole vampire hunter vibe I was planning for him later on, and 2) because he has absolutely no reason to. Since Eastern European folklore indicates that anyone who dies an unnatural death is at risk of rising again, so I went with a combination of Romanian ancestry and the fact Heather Chandler technically committed suicide. That keeps that theme of the original work in there. Sort of.
The Players
Colour symbolism is getting its own section.
The key here was character motivation. Since the story is primarily character-driven, knowing why the characters do what they do is paramount. The main motive for everyone is as follows:
Chandler wants to be in control of herself, the school, and everyone in it. This is abandoned after she gets shot, and she suffers an identity crisis for some time afterwards.
Veronica wants to help people. This shifts over time to helping Chandler specifically.
Duke wants to be in Chandler’s position, or at least out from under her thumb.
JD wants to be with Veronica, and for the bad influences in both of their lives to be gone. In his defence, he tries to do this non-fatally after chapter 6, but gives up pretty easily.
McNamara wants everyone she cares about to be safe. Everyone else can go fuck themselves.
Martha wants people to go back to like they were in kindergarten – when everyone was friends with everyone.
Betty wants to help Veronica and Martha. The question with her was how she could achieve that goal, when one of the two couldn’t see or hear her.
Everyone else’s characterisations were taken primarily from the lunchtime poll section of the movie. I love that story device like my firstborn child.
 It is important to remember one thing – ALL of the characters are intended to be sympathetic to some degree. Chandler obviously gets the most attention in this regard, but both JD’s and Duke’s actions are well-intentioned, if nothing else. JD wanted to free people from the influence of a vampire, and Duke wanted an end to Chandler’s bullying. JD’s decision to solve his problems with blackmail and murder, and Duke’s decision to frame Chandler, is what puts them firmly in antagonist territory.
In the same vein, all of the characters have flaws. There is no purity in Heathers – Betty is self-sacrificing to a fault and has a nasty passive-aggressive streak, and Martha is living in a dream for most of the fic. Almost all of them get better (or die), with one notable exception.
 Colour-coding
Tumblr user deanesque has already done a pretty good guide to most of the colours present in the film, so I’m including a link to their post on the matter. Since there are some shades that aren’t included in that list, here’s a comprehensive guide.
 Chandler – Red (passion, confidence, leadership), changes to grey (anonymity, lack of emotion, loss), then purple (nobility, creativity, magic, mystery, red and blue combined).
Veronica – Blue (intelligence, trust, stability, intuition), changes to red.
Duke – Green (wealth, ambition, growth, illness), changes to blue.
Martha – Pink (femininity, naivete, passiveness, tenderness), changes to white (purity, hope, peace, detachment)
JD – Black (secrets, intimidation, power, death).
McNamara – Yellow (happiness, caution, enthusiasm, loyalty).
Betty – White and grey.
That’s probably the last of it. If anyone has any specific questions, you are encouraged to send asks.

A disclaimer: I find the idea of ‘second gender’ quite… interesting. On the other hand, the way it’s most commonly treated makes me quite uncomfortable because it takes the agency – the consent – away from the characters in a very underhanded way and tries to justify it with a biological nature, which is a big warning sign for me personally (and this is about me – this is just not my thing in general – and I’m not condemning anyone who likes it, there is no talking about sexual fantasies as wrong or right as long as they stay exactly that). While the consent/agency thing can be fun to explore, the setting makes it often a foregone notion. As I’m a fickle thing thrumming with a lot of ideas, this is me trying to get rid of this one, putting it on the shelf to maybe use somewhere else, some other time, to focus on other things I should be writing (like finishing the next funny chapter of red eyes, putting together the ending to the old soldiers crack or crack sidestory of how they got together which is just hcs). This all to say there’s some main idea here and some other things going in the background. Oh, and I write like shit in English. Also, I’m not really tagging it here since this is a controversial theme - abo and alluded to mpreg.
 Sands of Remembrance
 It was really ironic if he thought more about it. Here he was, twenty-eight years old, with almost thirty years of his life missing – just gone and nowhere to be found – living a life he was not ready for, chasing ghosts he did not recognize, looking for answers to the questions he was not able to formulate.
Escaping. Always escaping from something, even if it weighed heavily on his conscience, but he was only twenty-eight years old, he was not prepared for the responsibilities of this kind – and he was not fucking prepared to fucking die right now, for fuck’s sake!
“Where the hell are you!?” Jack, cowering behind the broken down bus on the pier, growled into the receiver. “If you’re using me as bait I’m going to ventilate you a new one, you fucking…” There it was, the explosion, the otherworldly screech of the metal tearing, and a familiar roar of whatever the fuck those shotguns of his were. He sneered, counting down the shots and raising with his rifle hoisted up as the final one rung out silencing the last man screaming. The fucker in question was standing relaxed, with weapons dissolving in the wisps of black smoke, the burning barge behind him slowly sinking into the water covered with a rainbow slick of the oil spill.
The visor gave no indication of any other targets and Jack, slinging the rifle on his arm, cut through the blown out hole in the hull of the bus – what was a wrecked bus doing on a fucking pier was a mystery in the first place – and crossed the distance separating him from the mercenary while trying not to step too deep into the gore strewn around, because those fucking guns packed an unnatural punch.
“Do that again and I’ll make sure you’re going to breathe through a tube,” Jack growled, grabbing the bandolier in his fist to stress the point. “Unlike you, I have someone to come back to.”
Reaper chuckled, moving gray bangs out of his face with a claw, and, shit, Jack swore internally, he lost another rubber band and did not notice – which unnerved him even more considering how inconsequential it was in the whole situation. He was fucking royally pissed at the other mercenary. Their working relationship was tenuous – had its ups and downs – and there were some allowances he was willing to make, but this, this was too fucking much.
“Your copy of the mainframe,” Reaper put the data stick in the pocket of the varsity jacket Jack wore over the nano-padding, the other hand brushing the small of his back. “You make for a good distraction, Soldier.”
“This fucking shit ain’t funny!” Jack shoved him back with a snarl. “Angel, two hours to RV, pick me up.”
“Do you have it?” Reaper asked observing the retreating back of the vigilante.
“Only the new frequency, they’ve changed it.”
“Clever. Wouldn’t expect nothing less.”
“Gabe, why don’t you just fucking follow him,” Sombra murmured, “or just put a damn tracker on him?”
“That would spook him. How long till you crack it?”
“If I really get on it, two, three hours tops.”
“Get on it then.”
*
“I don’t think it’s a good idea to keep this up,” Angela started just as they were stepping off the small ship. “You’re very agitated, Jack.”
She was trying to sound reasonable, talk him down, and he knew it. It irritated him more, but not because of her – her intentions were good – but because of himself. Jack combed through his hair absentmindedly.
“No. That’s not it. The fucker’s hard to read. But it works, for now,” he glanced at the evening panorama of Oasis sprawling outside the private landing pad. “Angela, I have to… I need to do this thing.”
“I understand but it still doesn’t make me think it’s a good idea,” she put her hand on his shoulder. “They’re asleep, so change and rest. I’ll have the data looked at by friends.”
“You mean the AI.”
“Maybe.” Jack scoffed at that. Maybe. As far as he came to understand, it was the Oasis thing, to play with things that should be very well left alone, but on the other hand… Athena supposedly had worked with them for years, still did. Which did not make trusting former GOD-AI any easier. “I’m going to shower.”
Angela smiled and nodded gently, leaving him shortly as he stood still observing the lighting up city.
*
“Who the fuck are you?” Jack questioned his reflection – the little ritual of his – because the face that stared back at him was not his. He did not know that person, the lines on the forehead, the crow feet at corners of the eyes, the cut of the mouth, the gray hair, and the scars. This was a stranger he wanted to understand and failed, repeatedly, to do so.
His fingers slowly glided over the smooth now shoulder. It was one of the first things he asked of Angela, to remove it, to destroy the very presence of the scar that could have never belonged to him.
He remembered waking up on the operating table, not being able to even scream, not because of how his throat hurt but because he forgot how to scream, and merely whined and wheezed, with Angela cradling his head and trying to soothe his fear, pain, and confusion.
He remembered the months of rehabilitation and relearning how his body moved and worked, full of disappointments, anxiety, and breakdowns.
But the worst of it was learning that a half of his life just… stopped existing, wiped out, and he was left with Angela describing someone he didn’t understand, recognize nor know, someone she cared for – the person he certainly was not anymore in a world that was not his. This terrified him on a different level, the primal fear crawling along his spine and freezing the blood in his veins.
He had time to read. Too much time actually. Enough to learn that the thing he was was either considered an evolutionary dead end or the future evolution of human race – there was almost no middle ground.
Jack bit his lip and the person in the mirror made the same gesture. He had grown up with the notion that meeting one’s mate was that wonderful fairytale thing – all laughable in the face of the fact who that supposedly was for him – and even more importantly the reality everyone thought it was his own mate that did try to kill him.
Killed him in a sense.
“Stop thinking,” Jack barked at the reflection and slipped on the robe. He slicked back the wet hair – growing them out was a personal act of defiance towards ‘something’. And a way to help conceal his identity, even if Jack Morrison, Strike-Commander of Overwatch, was long dead and buried, and there would be no one looking for him.
He was only twenty-eight years old and felt the weight of the world on his shoulders.
Back in the room, he kneeled down by the bed, resting his head on the mattress, his hand reaching out towards the closer of the two shapes under the covers, but fingers staying just millimeters away. Jack stared at the only reason – two reasons – that kept him going, trying for anything at all, searching for answers to questions that did not make any sense at all.
“You shouldn’t stay like that, you will hurt in the morning,” Angela said from the doorway.
“No,” Jack smiled faintly, “this is okay, just like… this.”
“If you say so,” she huffed a bit. “Athena dealt with the encryption. We will look through it tomorrow.”
He closed his eyes. The answers could mean nothing to him, but his children deserved them.
“Thanks again.”
“Don’t mention it. Sleep well, Jack.”
