“What? I never said knighthood was easy.”

(ID: Kirby series fanart of Dedede and Meta Knight as childhood friends, this time in partial comic form. There are seven borderless panels, each featuring a young Dedede and Meta sitting side by side on a circle of grass, having a silly conversation about leadership and the future. Transcript below the cut. END ID.)

More childhood friends AU. Guess I’m on a role right now. Too many ideas, not enough time!

UPDATE 03/11/24: Added a scar to Meta's head.

Started on 10/10/23, finished on 10/12/23. NOTE: This was originally posted on my deleted account on 10/12/23.

---

Transcript:

Panel 1

Dedede: *sitting grumpily* Hmph! Stupid Ms. Squishy and her stupid group projects. Who does she think she is callin’ me a bad leader?

Meta: *gazing lazily skyward* Well, you did kinda make the other kids do all the work for you, so…

Panel 2

Dedede: *holds arms out in exasperation* Hey, it got done, didn’t it? That’s already better than, like, half the class - they didn’t even finish their dioramas! We’d’ve flunked for sure if it weren’t for my excellent direction! And my awesome ideas!

Meta: Didn’t you get a C, anyway?

Panel 3

Dedede: *holds arm up confidently* You’ll see, Meta! Once I’m big and strong enough, I’m gonna be the best leader this town’s ever seen! No - better! I’ll be the King of Dream Land itself!

Meta: *looks uncertain* “King”? Hmm. I dunno, Dee. Sounds like a lot of work. (And you and work don’t exactly get along great…)

Panel 4

Dedede: *arms behind head, eyes shut, confident* Psh! Nah, bein’ King’s easy! All ya gotta do is sit on a throne and look regal all day! It’ll be a breeze, ‘specially since I’ll have you as my first knight.

Meta: *turns sharply to face Dedede, tiny wings perked up in surprise* Wh- Me?? A knight?

Panel 5

Dedede: *smiling and winking at Meta* Uh, duh! I mean, who else would I trust to keep me safe while I rule? Only someone as strong and cool and brave as me, that’s who!

Meta: *smiles and hides bashfully behind his hands, little wings curled around him* O-Oh… Uh, heh. Well, when you put it that way… (He think’s I’m brave?)

Panel 6

Meta: *looks skeptically at Dedede* Wait. If being King’s so easy, then what would I need to keep you safe from?

Dedede: *staring skyward with a straight face* Assassins, mostly.

Panel 7

Meta: *sweating, wings drooping, eyes shrunken in fear* …

hellooo!

you know something that interests me so much, is how Jordan’s perspective is unreliable. Just by the nature of him having an edited pov makes him an unreliable narrator to the audience.

The best example I have of this is why capsize thought they were together. In his pov it comes out of left field, like it makes no sense that she would consider that. But if you go to Tom’s episode, you can see that she literally thinks that because Tom says in chat that him and Jordan are fucking. Like, honestly the comparison of Jordan’s “Girl Problems” ep and Tom’s 81st episode is the best example of that because it frames Capsizes character in a certain light depending on who you watch and because people will usually only watch Jordan’s (because it’s shorter) then it’s a bit of a one sided view.

And I bet you there are season 2 examples but I’d have to rewatch it from someone else’s perspective first before I give an example.

YESSSS NO YEAH EXACTLYY

The unreliable narrator of Jordan's POV is really super interesting because actually like!! you could lore wise outside the meta of edited content ooc interpret it as an intentionally crafted story, where ye!! The whole bit about capsize thinkin thems boyos were together without the context of Tom's comment (which I gen only caught bc I paused Jordan's ep to read the chat when he opened it) makes her out to be a completely different person versus if ya saw it in Tom's POV- in the sense of her to Jordan trying to deflect away from a supposed truth versus her just obvs playin off what Tom was together and them zombiecaptains bein silly

In a way, if ya follow the headcanon from DSMP that chat is personified as an in-universe entity of sorts around the character (like Ranboo's ender particles, the voices of the Blood god to Techno, or Phil's crows); like Jordan got little sparkles floating around him only he can see/hear, the fact that we only see bits of his POV could be like him trying to appeal to them (aka them rampant shippers- show his dynamic with Capsize as they expect which is what leads to the inconsistency in her character) As he goes on he starts to learn to ignore them and just roll how he rolls

(in all honesty i like to abide by the headcanon that the whole "im in love w/ capsize" shenanigans was actually cJordan's dumbass way of deflecting off not wantin to admit he was in love with cTom and was egged on by chat but thats a ramble for another day LMAO)

Also!! thats so true too like I havent watched any other S2 POVs but we kinda actually see it in Isles a lil 👀 Ive been hoppin back n forth between Tom and Jordan's povs for fun during my watchthrough where while the edited v. uncut has been flipped, while you can see all of Tom and Karl's shenanigans uncut in Jord's POV, it still doesnt make any sense the motivations for stuff like him joining Team Ianite unless u can see those interactions he has privately with Dianite (who is also so two totally different people between the two povs). But whats interesting is how like Isle!Tom's kind of unreliable narrator is different in nature from S1!Jordan, where its like the intent between the kind of story either is trying to tell has different motivation behind it ig? ye :D ty for this brainrot btw note I Will put lore to everything and. yeah anyhoozers

#i apologize if some of this doesnt make sense its 2am and brain decided Now is when Im havin thoughts #i couldve waited to answer this till i was more awake but i was thinkin about it all afternoon n only now could i sit down and do a little #a little writing hehe /silly #but. yeah. sits.#thinks about the nuance of storytellers (not necessarily in the sense of revisionist history but) moreso limited perspective #and how that shapes how people are intepreted #goes insane #asks #licantropa #jordan captainsparklez #captain capsize #lafakiwi talks

okay i have a contribution to the stede as the man with the hook with a head he doesn’t kiss nobody likes him metas, let’s see if i can get it out of my head

one of the things the show does well is demonstrate the interplay between macro level structural power and micro level interpersonal group dynamics, where power is more complex. in stede’s position of structural privilege (bein a rich white dude etc.) he has the ability to do shit like build himself a boat and fuck off and hire himself a crew, but socially, when it comes to the actual people he’s interacting with in his day to day life, he demonstrably carries very little power (daddy issues, the bullying, having absolutely zero capacity to convince mary to go on the boat, mutiny). part of his arc is coming into some social power through caring about people and being cared about in return which is so lovely and radical but i digress

when i say social power, i mean not only do people like you, but also the myriad of complexities that shape group dynamics, like charisma, perceived intelligence, intimidation, persuasion, ability to gain the trust of others, and so on, of which stede (at least in eps 1-3) has just nada. my favorite demonstration of how absurdly little social power stede has at the beginning is when black pete is telling the blackbeard story--if i had to rank the social power of the crew (in the early eps), i would put stede at the bottom and black pete one slot above--stede is the only one to believe him (and he’s SUPER excited about it). stede is not only naive, he’s gullible and everyone else can see it, impacting respect and trust (cause who wants to follow a dude who believes such obvious bullshit). nobody has ever really liked stede, and at first this crew is no exception, which is why several eps later the “talk it through as a crew/he’s a real pirate look at this plant” bit hits so fucking sweet

idk just the juxtaposition of stede having both the most power and the least power and how much nuance is packed into this silly comedy where also my blorbos kiss in canon makes my brain go zing

#ofmd #ofmd meta #stede bonnet #this wasn't what was in my head but it's something

Ven’s Masterlist of SPN Fic

I write mostly pre-series and early seasons Big Feels™ Wincest fic. There’s a lot of angst and pining here, but plenty of love and devotion mixed in with the darkness.

I always deeply, deeply appreciate likes, kudos, comments, and reblogs!

Wincest Fic

Stand-Alone

Yesterday is a Ghost I Believe In ~4.1k, Teen, Pre-series, Epistolary, Multimedia, Experimental There's an old shoebox under Sam Winchester's bed. It's been there almost as long as he can remember. He doesn't look inside it very often, but when he does, he takes his time. A multimedia collection of letters, journal entries, pictures, and other ephemera from a life on the road. .

That Monster, Love ~2k, Teen, Pre-series, POV Outsider, POV John Winchester, John Finds Out, Angst “You think you’re doing your boys any favors, raisin’ ‘em like this?” .

To Cure My Lonesome Blood ~8.8k, Explicit, Pre-series, Pining Dean, Angst, Bittersweet Ending Dean’s been sick since before either of them was born. The disease is incurable, written into his blood – the same blood he shares with his brother. If he’s not careful, the fever will spread like a fire and consume them both. .

Like Sand, Like Water, Like Sunlight ~1.7k, Gen, Pre-series, Mutual Pining, Angst, Pre-Slash Sea birds circle overhead and Dean wishes he had a camera. Sam looks so young, all of twelve years old, and exhilarated. Dean wants to hold this image in the chambers of his heart, but his pulse just carries it along; time is cruel that way. .

The Space Between Sense and Memory ~4.8k, Teen, Pre-series through Season 1, 5-and-1 Things There are a hundred unwritten rules on all the acceptable ways brothers should touch each other. There are hardly any ways at all to break them. Or; five times they follow the rules and one time they don’t. .

Every Goodbye, all at Once ~900, Teen, Pre-series, Stanford Era, Pining Dean, Angst, Epistolary "Hey, It's Sam. If you're looking for my dad, you can reach him at 866-555-9352. If you're looking for me, leave a message." A series of voicemails Dean leaves at the number Sam left behind. .

Breathe You In (Choke You Down) ~6k, Explicit, Season 01, PWP, Scent Kink, Guilty Dean Winchester Once Sam was gone, Dean missed him in a way that was all-consuming, all the way down – so deep in his bones that he shook with loneliness some nights. And it was the familiar scent of his brother’s hair where it tangled warm against the pillows, his pulse beating under his skin and sending the fear of the hunt wafting off of him in waves that Dean struggled to hold onto the hardest. Dean really likes the way Sam smells.. .

Dawn is Coming (Open Your Eyes) ~5k, Explicit, Season 01, Hurt/Comfort, Getting Back Together In which Sam and Dean suffer new wounds and stitch old ones back together. There’s an awful storm, a dead monster, an injury, and a whole lot of feelings. .

You put the Magic in Me ~9.1k, Explicit, Season 02(ish), Sex Pollen, Porn with Plot, Casefic “This is the weirdest thing we’ve ever done for a case,” Dean says under his breath, leaning into Sam and scouting the crowd gathered around a dozen tables inside the little café. “Dude, relax,” Sam says back, eyebrows raising at his brother’s nervous energy. “I thought this would be, like, your thing.” He gestures vaguely to the women milling around inside. A long, vividly red banner hangs across the open french doors that lead into the space, emblazoned with the words The Oolong Tea Room Presents: Lonely Hearts Club Speed Dating! Feb 11-14th! Or; in which Sam and Dean learn a thing or two about chemistry. .

The Stars are not Wanted Now ~2k, Teen, Season 02, Episode Tag: s02e21 All Hell Breaks Loose, Angst, Death Rituals There was a body on the bed. It had been there long enough that the slanting light of morning crept into the room like an unwelcome invader and washed the world in a dream-shade of palest blue. But there were no dreams here; only death, only memory. The body on the bed was all that remained of Samuel Winchester, who had died in his brother’s arms the night before. .

Demi-Gods and Hungry Ghosts ~5.8k, Explicit, Season 03, Episode Tag: s03e11 Mystery Spot, Dark, Dub-con, Hurt No Comfort This dream-state of living on pause and rewind leads to some interesting avenues of thought that Sam doesn’t mean to travel, but after a certain number of unrelenting Tuesdays, they just become inevitable. If Dean dies every day—if his memories are wiped, or if they never happen at all—what could Sam get away with, if he wanted to? Could he dare to find out? .

In Sanguine Vita Est ~5.2k, Explicit, Season 04, Knifeplay, Dean’s Hell Trauma, Hurt/Comfort Everything was different now. Dean was here—back from the fucking dead—but he was a stranger in his own body. Scars gone, aches from broken bones that hadn’t set right vanished back into the void as if they’d never existed at all. He’d become a stranger to the whole world. He’d become a stranger to Sam. _ Dean asks Sam to help him heal after he returns from Hell. .

All Heartless Spectres, Happiness ~5.7k, Explicit, Season 06, Episode Tag: s06e06 You Can’t Handle the Truth, POV Outsider, Angst, Soulless Sam Lisa Braeden receives an email with the subject line, "You Deserve to Know." It contains a single video file and nothing else. .

The Rungs of Me be Under You ~1.6k, Teen, Gencest, Post-Bunker, 2nd Person POV, Queerplatonic Sam and Dean, Non-Sexual Kink What they share has never been easy to define. Why should this be any different? .

Wincest Series The Top/Bottom Discourse Series (Ongoing) [Each story is canon compliant and listed chronologically, but they can all be read as standalone works.] This series was born originally from a silly meta post I made on Tumblr as a response to some very angry top/bottom discourse I was seeing about how only Sam could truly be A Top™, or how only Dean could truly be A Top™. I personally like to kink and let kink and not drag outdated gender politics into my fandom (Dean can't be a bottom because he's too masculine? Ice cold take, bro), so I wrote a filthy little tongue-in-cheek post about all the ways I think Sam and Dean have fucked each other over the years.

I’m Thinking About Whatever You’re Thinking About ~5.1k, Explicit, Pre-series, PWP, Bratty Sam, Exhibitionism, Fear of Discovery Sam is such a brat, sometimes. .

Shoot to Thrill ~6.7k, Explicit, Season 02, Porn with Plot, Hustling, Getting Back Together It's just like riding a bike. .

Burn Out The Night ~4.9k, Explicit, Season 08, Porn with Plot, Car Sex, Light BDSM, Fluff What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. .

Destiel Fic

Love Made a Martyr of Me ~500, Teen, Season 05, Endverse, Past Sam/Dean, Angst Sam says yes in Detroit, and in the space of a single syllable, there's nothing left in Heaven or on Earth for Dean to love. Cas doesn't seem to care. .

The Sharp Teeth of the One You Love ~2k, Teen, Season 05, Endverse, Hurt/Comfort, Angst, Pining “Quit bein’ a baby, Cas.” Dean’s hands were covered in blood, but they were steady as always while he worked to stitch Castiel back together. “I’m sorry,” Cas growled between gritted teeth. “I don’t exactly have a lot of experience feeling pain.” He hissed again when Dean slid the curved needle back through the eight-inch-long gash that ran deep and bloody down Cas’s bicep. Castiel learns something about what it means to be human. .

Wincestiel Fic

Temerate ~700, Teen, Season 05(ish), Past Sam/Dean, 2nd Person POV, First Time Your brother is sitting in the corner of the motel room. His big hands are worrying at each other; he squeezes them together, fingertips white from the pressure of his grip. He meets your eyes and his gaze is like a lightning strike. .

Dean/John Fic

Cruore ~1.1k, Mature, Pre-series, Dead Dove: Do Not Eat, Blood, Intrusive Thoughts Bites, Dean could deal with – claw marks and broken bones. But this- ... a bullet was a different kind of monster altogether. .

Supernatural RPF

Il Cielo in Una Stanza ~4.4k, Explicit, Jensen Ackles/Jared Padalecki, Getting Back Together, Prequel-Gate, Polyamory, Non-AU Jared Padalecki receives a present he wasn't expecting at all for his 39th birthday. .

Other Supernatural Fic

Bad Things, Better Reasons ~2k, Explicit, Pre-series, Dean Does Sex Work, Angst, Brotherly Love. Dean does whatever it takes to keep the bills paid while John is gone. The kid waiting for him back at the motel room is all the justification he’ll ever need. .

No Was Her Name ~1.3k, Teen, Season 12, Dean/Mary, Light Angst, First Kiss Mary Winchester was alive. She was solid—made of skin and blood and bone—and she existed in the same world as Dean. It wasn’t a dream; she walked and talked and breathed. She ate, she slept, she wandered the halls of the bunker at odd hours. She was a ghost made flesh, and Dean was haunted by her presence. .

Spotted at Grand Central, bags in hand, BOOBOO STEWART. No, that’s a mistake. It’s VAX’ILDAN, they are a CANON CHARACTER and come from CRITICAL ROLE. They are TWENTY-EIGHT and I’ve heard they are AFFECTIONATE, as well CAGEY. They happen to hold THEIR memories. Don’t believe me? See for yourself.

welcome to new york! what is your character’s name?

vax’ildan vessar, commonly VAX - string bean, champion of the raven queen, man of many cloaks and daggers

where / when have they been pulled from in their fandom?

vax has been pulled from sometime after the fall of vecna, goodbyes to his found family, and snowdrops - no specific time apart from after he walks away for the last time in ep 115 ‘the chapter closes’. he has been the raven queen’s devout companion after death, but the details of which are either too hazy or too delicate to disclose

do they have a job, and if so - what is it?

vax has never held down a steady job once in his life that wasn’t bein’ a criminal or a mercenary and he sure ain’t about to start now he’s still a drifter, at least for the time being. he does a lot of temp odd-jobs to get by, and vax’s one lucky fate-touched bastard -- he can always seem to scrounge up enough to keep him going. until the fancy hits him, he’s fine meandering as he is

what with the curse and all, how has your character’s life changed?

being alive again is already strange - like being an undead revenant hadn’t - but being alive again in a world so unlike his own of exandria, virtually cut off from the goddess who was to be his afterlife’s purpose into eternity? more than a bit weird, even for a card-carrying member of vox machina. this isn’t exactly the first time he’s found himself on a strange new plane of existence, but it’s definitely the strangest - but, he has always kind of been a bumbling idiot coasting his way through life and chaos, so he figures he can do alright. vax also kind of figures that somehow this must be part of the raven queen’s plan for him; the goddess of fate knows all, and so why wouldn’t he wind up in a world more like something out of percy’s ramblings? this’ll all make sense at some point, he’s sure

is there any other information about your character that members might find helpful?

:vibrates at high intensity: d&d son -- hey!! so just quick media lowdown from the very start - critical role is a dungeons and dragons stream played every week from a cast of some nerdy-ass voice actors. VAX comes from critical role’s first campaign, the half-elven rogue-paladin-druid played by liam o’brien, art dad and Shakespearean fck. there are ~115 episodes averaging 3-4 hrs each, a comic series, soon an animated special... y’all there’s a lotta content, and their campaign started streaming 8 levels after it began, so a big ol’ storm of ‘:intense panic and love: how well can i remember this much canon’ is ahead

to try to keep THAT MUCH BACKSTORY short tho -- vax’ildan was born the elder of a set of twins alongside his sister vex’ahlia to a human mother and elven father. their mother was a saint, their dad a dick, and they lived with their mother as kids until they were sent to live with their father, who sucked, in ~High Elven Society, which sucked, and everything generally sucked so much that they struck out on their own - to discover their hometown destroyed and their mother perished in a dragon attack. ( y’all it’s d&d of course there’s a tragic backstory ) vax and vex learned to rely on no one but each other, training their skills and gettin’ involved w/ Sketchy Shit, until they met the S.H.I.T.S. -- other adventurers that they would band together with and eventually rebrand as Vox Machina (we don’t do anything with dignity)

Vox Machina faced underground monstrosities, squatting vampires, several old-ass dragons, and eventually God (wannabe status mostly), coming to victory again and again. in the middle of all of this, vax struck a contract with a goddess of fate and the transition of death to save his sister’s life, becoming the Champion of the Raven Queen. this contract came to be expanded upon after various other shitty happenings including vax’s own death, and after God’s Death it was agreed that vax’s return to life would quickly end -- in other words, God Died, Vax Died (For Real This Time), and Vax Became the Raven Queen’s Permanent Afterlife Companion

ACTUALLY IMPORTANT NOTE: Silliness aside, Vax’s afterlife with the Raven Queen is not something that I would like to expand upon. The ambiguity of his life-after-death, his duties, and the raven that visits everyday were beautiful, and I absolutely love and respect that uncertain ending crafted by Matt and Liam. If asked anything about his afterlife, Vax will assume dodge like this dexterous mf does best, and I’m going to do my best to leave it hazy in prose.

........ mmkay now back to the regularly-scheduled tomfoolery that is my intro posts

vax is Affectionate AF - to quote my favorite meta, #the thing about vax is #he falls a little bit in love–unreservedly and wholeheartedly–with just about everyone he meets #and even when he’s all freaked out and fucked up over the horrible things happening to him and to the people he loves #he never makes that stereotypical leap to ‘bad things happen when you love people so you must push people away’ #he walks away from the initial conversations but in the end he’s the one who reaches out (...) #he’s interesting not because he suffers all this loss and angst over the people he loves #but because the message he takes away from those experiences is: #‘you must double down and love even more to make the pain worthwhile’ - from what we’ve seen, this heartful bisexual disaster has (romantically) loved two people: shaun ‘glorious’ gilmore and keyleth of the air ashari. he can be, how does one say........ Dramatic about his emotions. has never felt a feeling as a la croix even once, only full-flavor-feelings for this man

and despite all the doom-and-gloom that is being a d&d character with a patented tragic backstory and a life-exchanging contract with a goddess of death, vax’ildan himself is actually in a very easy-breezy place (not to say that he wasn’t very doom-and-gloom himself for a while there - he Definitely Was, but that’s since been well-processed). he’s a practical joker who adores anyone he adopts into his found family, a devoted lover, and content so long as the people he loves have found happiness. one Soft, kind of stinky, 8 Dozen Knives in a Trenchcoat good-hearted guy

#dear:intro #>> ꜰɪʟᴇ:// vax’ildan. └ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴀʀᴋɴᴇꜱꜱ‚ ɪ ꜱᴀʏ ꜰᴜᴄᴋ ┐#swearing tw #death mention tw

IT’S META TIME! i’m here to talk about frank castle’s arms. not in a thirst sense even tho bernthal’s got some fantastic arms #blessed (insert pun about gun show here), but i’m here to talk about one of my favorite subjects, and that’s frank castle and his gentleness.

just think about his arms for a minute ok? frank’s a marine, but if you asked him i bet you he would tell you his best role, was being a father. we know that frank was a gentle loving father. those strong arms of his to hold his children close, to make them feel safe. to hold lisa tight when she was sad and needed to cry in his arms. or when he holds her to tickle her. to steady frank jr on his bike when he first learned to ride. to cradle both of them gently when they were newborn babies. for the kids when they were playing to swing from his arms. or when they learned to walk (if he was there for that) you better believe that his arms were unwavering and strong for them to walk into.

and maria oh man. frank picking her up and sweeping her off her feet. either being silly or sensual. to protectively have an arm over her when they sleep. to hold her close when he’s bein’ a goof and dances with her. to give her a playful squeeze. to wrap her up in a tight hug before he’s shipped off again.

just!! think about how safe they would’ve felt in his arms. like when he’d come home from a tour, and all three would be held tight in his arms. he never wanted to let go.

until he had to.

until that day in the park when he held their lifeless bodies in his arms. his strong arms that he used to hold them and protect them, and make them feel safe. his arms are weak with fatigue from holding them too tight. his arms are full but his heart is empty.

his arms and the safety they offered is gone. frank’s strong arms are used now for pain. that’s all he feels now anyways. his strength is used to strangle, not to hug. to suffocate, not caress. to kill...not hold new life.

.....just....frank’s arms

#I'M SAD #terrifiesthem #frank castle #frank headcanons #meta #my writing #YEAH I KNOW FRANK SAVED KAREN OK BUT THIS IS ABOUT HIS FAMILY
