This is the funniest take on "what if Snow chose to be a good person" because instead of imagining young Snow being this sweet kind person, it's just Donald Sutherland playing a senile old uncle who constantly beefs with birds.

You were consumed by a cocktail of fear and excitement.
But that was only natural to feel in your current predicament. Taken from your home due to circumstance that was no longer in your control. You turned to what you now call your husband. Dracule Mihawk was a man not to be trifled with, one of the Seven Warlords and dubbed the Greatest Swordsman in the world.
“I will have your room prepared as soon as possible.” Mihawk spoke, interrupting you from your train of thoughts.
All you could do was nod. You were taken from your own home, miles away from what you had once been so familiar with, a place that you had deemed had become your own prison. Any form of freedom you would take, even if it means being under the circumstantial marriage with one Warlord such as Mihawk.
“Yes, Sir.” You nodded, having no right to complain or react negatively for a short wait.
Even without looking at him, you’ve noticed his sharp yellow eyes glued fall to you. Turning to looking up at him, you noticed his narrowed eyes, a frown that was something you had gotten so used to rest on his lips.
“You will call me by my name, I do not agree to have you calling me of anything else while under you are under my care.”
You gulped, but nodded your head in agreement. This man, as handsome as he was, still scared you. Having caught firsthand the destruction his sword could make to your entire island should his will make it.
“You are not here as my prisoner, you can freely explore the castle should you wish to do so. All I ask is you not to leave unless you tell me or have me to accompany you, is that understood?”
“Yes—Mihawk.” You responded quickly.
As you step off the grandiose boat onto the rocky shore of Kuraigana Island, your heard races with anticipation and uncertainty. The sea breeze carries the scent of salt and new adventure, but it’s the sight before you that leaves you breathless. Your new husband’s castle, looms high above, perched on a ragged cliff that seems to defy gravity.
The castle is a dark, imposing fortress, its jagged spires reaching towards the heavens like the fingers of a giant’s skeletal hands. The stone walls are as grey and foreboding as the thunderclouds that hover over the island. You can’t help but shudder at the stark contrast between the castle and the vibrant, tropical island that surrounds it.
Your arrival has not gone unnoticed. From the castle's towering parapets, you catch glimpses of shadowy figures watching your every move. As you start to climb the narrow, winding path that leads to the castle gates, your footsteps echo in the eerie silence.
The closer you get, the more details you can make out. The castle is adorned with intricate, Gothic architecture, with gargoyles leering down from the eaves. The windows are narrow and slit-like, like the eyes of a predator, and they seem to be keeping a watchful gaze on you. The walls are covered in ivy and moss, as if nature itself is trying to reclaim this imposing structure.
You can't help but feel a sense of unease as you approach the massive, iron-bound gates. The air feels heavy with centuries of history, and you can't shake the feeling that the castle holds secrets, both wondrous and sinister, within its ancient walls.
As the gates slowly creak open, revealing the cavernous darkness beyond, your heart pounds in your chest. You have entered a world unlike any you have ever known, a world of mystery and danger. And as you step across the threshold, you can't help but wonder what awaits you in this forbidding castle on Kuraigana Island.
As you step through the imposing gates of Mihawk's castle, your heart is still pounding with trepidation. The exterior of the castle had filled you with a sense of foreboding, but as you cross the threshold and enter the grand foyer, you are struck by a stark contrast.
The interior of the castle is a complete surprise. The space is bathed in warm, inviting light that spills from ornate chandeliers hanging from the high ceilings. Elaborate tapestries hang on the walls, depicting scenes of epic battles and exotic landscapes. The polished marble floors beneath your feet reflect the glow of the many candles that line the corridor leading deeper into the castle.
Your husband, Mihawk, takes your hand and leads you forward, his expression unreadable. His grip is reassuring, grounding you in this unexpected change of atmosphere. You exchange a glance with him, and for a moment, you both share a silent understanding of the paradoxical nature of the castle.
The air inside is fragrant with the scent of fresh flowers, and the walls are adorned with vibrant paintings and delicate porcelain vases filled with blossoms.
As you explore the interior of the castle, you discover cozy sitting rooms with plush sofas and grand dining halls set with opulent feasts. The contrast between the grim exterior and the opulent interior is almost surreal, and you can't help but marvel at the transformation.
Mihawk guides you to a balcony overlooking a breathtaking garden bathed in moonlight. The sight of it takes your breath away, and you realize that the castle holds a world of beauty and wonder that you could not have imagined.
As you stand together on the balcony, surrounded by the enchanting sights and sounds of the castle, you can't help but feel a glimmer of hope and excitement for the future that awaits you here, in this magical, enigmatic place.
It wasn’t your home, no, far from it, but with this new found freedom, all you could think of right now is what the world could possibly be able to give you now.
“You have a guest along? That’s surprising from you.”
You tensed, immediately finding yourself stepping closer to the man you now call your husband. Turning to the owner of the voice, the sight of a pink-haired girl over a decade younger than you had floated towards your direction with what you think were ghost accompanying her.
“Not a guest.” Mihawk explained his gaze was on you, you tensed as his hand had rested on the small of your back. “My wife.” He introduce without much of a hesitation in his tone.
“Wife?!” The girl gaped and was immediately all over you, questioning you and your life decisions and how much of a sour sport Mihawk was to her especially as he had left her all alone in the castle.
“You have a daughter?” You inquired.
“No, just an unwelcomed guest.” He explained earning the offense of the girl that you now learned was named Perona. “But she will keep you company for the instance that I will be out for a while.”
You nodded turning your attention to the package that came with now living in the same home, in the same castle, and in the same Island as your new husband. It was a chaos that you were slowly but surely coming to enjoy as time goes by.

Rage Quit - Co-op Mode
NSFW 18+ Only
Contains ABDL Content
Read the first part here
Tumblr media
"Have you seen the ads for this new video game?" Melanie's boyfriend asked her one day.
The innocuous question had sent chills down Melanie's spine. She hadn't touched a video game in over a year. The last game she had played was the new Blood Legends and, before that, she had been an avid gamer. More than that, really, she had been an staunchly competitive and unsportsmanlike gamer, someone who was unpleasant to be around when a fail screen would come up. After Melanie had woken up from what she could only guess was a next-level rage-induced coma of sorts with only the smell of talcum powder as a memory, she had decided to put aside gaming all together and pick up more relaxing hobbies.
Melanie met her new boyfriend Alex shortly after that at the library and he was none-the-wiser to her past as a competitive gamer. As far as he was aware, there wasn't a competitive bone in Melanie's body unless she was competing to crochet faster than him. Melanie preferred it this way and was sure that any hint that she was a raging gamer would scare Alex away.
So, playing a video game with Alex seemed like the worst possible option. He showed her the trailer: it was a co-op game about a married couple who were warped to magic worlds by an evil sorcerer and had to work together to get back to the real world. "Doesn't it look cute?" Alex asked, handing Melanie the second-player controller.
Melanie frowned. She didn't want Alex to see her mean side, but the game did look pretty innocent. It certainly was no Blood Legends VI: Underworld. Melanie supposed a pleasant couch co-op platformer with her man was unlikely to cause any outbursts.
The opening cutscene showcased the couple in their normal everyday lives. While cleaning through their basement, they open a cursed book that sends them to the first tutorial world: a fantasy setting with in a large castle with a moat. The first section of the tutorial involved jumping over the moat without falling in. Melanie cleared the gap on the first attempt, obviously. She had slain the Lord of Dragons in Blood Legends V without needing to heal. She could complete this basic platforming tutorial with one hand. Her significant other, however, fell splash straight into the water.
"How'd you do that so easily?" Alex questioned as Melanie's character stood idly inside the castle gates.
Melanie sighed and gripped her controller. This might be a long game if she had to wait for Alex each time, she thought to herself. But, she couldn't let her impatience get the better of her. "You have to dash in midair."
Splash!
"Which button is that?" Alex asked, looking down at his controller.
"It's circle, dear." Melanie groaned. Alex spent a few seconds, eying the controller closer. "The one on the right!" Melanie snapped, shouting a bit louder than she meant to. As Alex turned to her, she quickly put on a smile to cover up her frustration.
When he turned back to the game, she bit her lip.
Tumblr media
The pair continued on and, after lots of battling and seething on Melanie's part, defeated the boss of the tutorial level: a fire-breathing dragon. The evil sorcerer teleported the characters a new Wild West-themed level where Alex's character wielded a lasso to tangle up enemies and Melanie's character had a quickdraw pistol to finish them off.
"Babe, you have to keep them lassoed so I can shoot them," Melanie instructed.
"I'm trying, babe!" Alex said back. "Gosh!"
Melanie pouted as she stopped mashing buttons for a moment to pull down the hem of her plaid skirt which had been riding up and exposing her underwear as they played on the couch. Her short school skirt was so embarrassing! She didn't want her first boyfriend to see her panties!
That said, Alex being so bad at video games was totally starting to give her the ick. She had been increasingly unable to hold in her anger as the game continued, but he had been yelling back, which was a total red flag!
All her girlfriends at school had said Alex was a loser, anyway. She should probably just dump him - she was about to start college and she should be in her slut era!
Suddenly, a bandito blasted Alex's character in the face, resulting in yet another "GAME OVER" screen.
Tumblr media
Eventually, the two beat the level by chasing down a runaway steam train on the back of horses and eliminating the gang of thieves.
The sorcerer transported the in-game couple to a futuristic level with flying cars and laser guns. Halfway through the level, Alex got distracted while flying a rocket. "Wheeee!" he cheered as the rocket sailed haphazardly on the screen. He kicked his pajama-covered feet against the couch in excitement.
"Awex!" Melanie cried, a bulb in her mouth impacting her speech. "You hafta come down and pick me up-ah!"
Wheee!" Alex continued.
"Gimme dat!" Mel yelled, putting down her controller and fighting Alex for his. "Stop!!" Alex whined. As the two wrestled over the controller, the rocket plummeted to the ground and exploded in a fiery ball. "GAME OVER" appeared once again on the screen.
"You killt us!" Mel sighed.
"Nuh-uh," Alex taunted back. "That was you!"
"You're stupid!" Mel sneered back. "You're not even good a' dis game made for BABIES!"
As Melanie shouted it, the word echoed in her mind. Babies... Wait a minute, this was all wrong! Why was she sucking on a pacifier? Why was she wearing unicorn pajamas? And why was her boyfriend throwing tantrums like a child? They were adults who drank coffee and did crossword puzzles, not toddlers who drank apple juice and played with blocks!
All the memories that she couldn't remember before came flooding back. It was why she had stopped playing Blood Legends. All the dirty diapers she had gone through and all the tantrums she had thrown until she could fit the triangle peg into the triangle hole and get back to her adult life. She couldn't let it slip by again. She couldn't!
"Whee!!" Alex interrupted her thoughts whilst flying around in his rocket again.
"Alex, no!" Mel yelled, spitting her paci out. "If we keep losing the game, we'll be stuck in di.."
BOOM! The rocket exploded against the ground. "GAME OVER."
Tumblr media
"DADDY! DADDY!" Alex sobbed. "Mel knocked over my block tower!!"
"Nuh-uh," Mel retorted. "I did not!"
The Necromancer entered the room to the two diapered adults with their padded rumps planted on the floor, which was scattered with toy blocks.
"Mel," The Necromancer sung in a disappointed tone. "Did you knock over your baby brother's tower?"
"No!" Mel vehemently denied. Then, after a knowing pause, Mel relented, "Maybe..."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk.." The Necromancer disapproved as he magically picked up the two full-sized adults and held them against his hip. Turning to Mel on his right hip, he said, "I thought you'd be better behaved if you had a playmate to play with, but clearly not. When are you going to learn to play nice with others? Isn't that what you wanted to avoid with Alex? Now, he's going to see you throw your little tantrums all the time when things don't go your way! Why would he want to date someone with the temperament of a little baby?"
Mel looked down, avoiding eye contact with both Alex and their Daddy. After a thoughtful moment, Mel sighed and resigned, "I'm sorry I knocked over your block tower."
"Dat's OK," Alex responded.
"Now, you can kiss and make up," Daddy teased. "Then, it smells like Daddy's got two very full diapers to change."
The couple's eyes widened.
"Didn't even notice?" Daddy asked. "Not surprising. If you didn't notice that your own Daddy was the sorcerer in your new video game, I wouldn't expect you to notice you made a mess of your diaper while you were throwing a fit. Maybe if you two learn to play nice, I'll give you your big boy and big girl lives back. I'm sure you'll get along real nice laying next to each other on my changing table."

series masterlist + face claim
After the reporters were escorted off campus, the rest of the day went smoothly. Bakugou was back to his usual boisterous self, which Sana was actually happy about (not that she'd ever admit it).
Momo offered to treat the girls at a nearby cafe, but Sana declined. The girl felt exhausted after such an exciting day and longed for her bed. There was a part of her that dreaded going home though. Thanks to Bakugou, she'd managed to evade the press and their questions, but she was afraid that somehow her father had found out anyway and was waiting for her.
So Sana walked as slowly as possible, dragging out the twenty minute walk back to her house to about thirty-five minutes. She'd barely touched the knob before the door swung open. Carefully, she poked her head inside. The entryway was empty, and no footsteps could be heard approaching. The peach-haired girl wiped away an invisible sweat drop. Thank God he's not-
"Why are you just standing there?"
Sana shrieked, jumping back in fright.
Umi stood hidden behind the door, a duster in hand. Her other hand was still on the doorknob. The young girl doubled over, clutching her chest in fear that the vital organ might break free from her chest. Dammit. She'd actually felt the years being taken off her lifespan.
"I saw you walking up through the window," the housekeeper put a fist on her hip. Her head was tilted to the left, taking in the hunched figure before her. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine," the solar girl sighed, pulling herself up to face the older woman. "Is he-"
"Gone. He's been in and out of meetings all afternoon." Sana breathed a sigh of relief. For now, she was safe. She noticed how Umi's eyes glanced behind her towards the street before returning to her.
"What is it?" Sana followed her gaze, but saw nothing out of the ordinary.
"I just thought Shoto would be with you."
Hearing his name didn't help calm her heart. For months she'd made excuses as to why Shoto hadn't been around. She'd claimed that he was taking up more training for the entrance exam (which was probably true), or that he'd finally taken the time to visit Rei in the hospital. Anything she could think of to explain his absence, but honestly? She had no idea what her best friend had been up to all these months. She wasn't even sure what she'd done in the first place to deserve his silent treatment.
"We've both been pretty busy lately," Sana forced her lips to lift upwards. She'd perfected her fake smile over the years for all of the cameras and public appearances, but Umi knew her almost too well. She was scared that if she looked closer, she would see the overwhelming sadness Sana felt in her heart reflected in her eyes.
The housekeeper didn't look entirely convinced, but she didn't press the subject, either.
Admitting out loud that they'd had a falling out made it real. And Sana wasn't ready to face that reality yet, so she happily fed into the fantasy.
¸☾⋆*・゚¸☾⋆*・゚¸☾⋆*
The next morning was uneventful. No sign of flashing cameras or pesky reporters camped outside the gates. No more stampedes in the hallway. The most excitement 1-A faced was Midnight surprising them with a pop quiz.
Lunch was peaceful. Sana sat at her usual table with Mina and the boys. She spotted Shinso lounging at the same table as yesterday and waved. His hooded eyes widened a fraction before jerking his chin in acknowledgment.
"Oh?" Mina leaned in close, her lips curled deviously. "And just who were you waving to?"
"A friend."
Mina gasped dramatically. "Do I know this friend?" Her bright eyes narrowed in suspicion. She leaned in close, though the volume of her voice didn't change. If she was trying to be sneaky about it, she was failing miserably. The whole table's attention was now focused on the them. "More importantly, is this mystery friend a guy?" Sana opened her mouth to respond, only to be interrupted by Mina clasping her hands together in prayer. "And if he is, PLEASE tell me he's hot!"
The solar girl laughed, shaking her head. She wasn't blind. Shinso was very handsome, but there was a specific type that she was attracted to. Normal guys just didn't cut it. She had her first love to thank for that.
"Am I not allowed to have hot guy friends?" Sana gestured across the table to two very smug-looking guys, one flushed redhead, and a snarling gremlin. She waved her hand dismissively towards the ash blonde. "And whatever you call that."
Kaminari and Sero erupted into cackles.
"THE HELL-" Kirishima grabbed his shoulders and pushed Bakugou back down in his seat. Sana sent him a wink, which earned her a demonic growl.
"Not ones that I don't know about!" Mina protested.
Sana took a long sip of her orange juice. She remembered Mina fangirling over Shoto on their first day. If she ever found out that they were childhood friends... well, she could only imagine the pinkette's reaction, but she had a feeling it would involve a lot of squealing and a few not-so-playful punches in the arm.
She could only smile and shrug. I'd gladly let her beat me up if it meant getting my friend back.
¸☾⋆*・゚¸☾⋆*・゚¸☾⋆*
After lunch, Mr. Aizawa stood at the front of the class wearing his hero suit, his hair still messy from the catnap he'd most likely taken during the break. "Today's training will be a little different. You'll have three instructors; me, All Might, and another faculty member will be keeping tabs on you." All around the room students gasped.
"Sir!" Iida held his hand up, like he was waiting to be called on. "What kind of training is this?"
"Rescue." His response caused the excitement level to rise even more. "You'll be dealing with natural disasters, shipwrecks, stuff like that."
A rescue mission? Sana leaned back in her seat, crossing her arms over her chest. There were all types of heroes out there. There were those that specialized in battle, while others were better suited for search and rescues. It all comes down to how you can help the most in a crisis. If a villain appears in a public space, putting civilians lives at risk, where are you going to be most useful; in the evacuation or the takedown?
This training exercise Aizawa set up for them will test them in a way they couldn't prepare for. Fighting is easy, but protecting someone? Making split second decisions in a life-or-death situation that could cost not only your life, but countless others? How do you prepare for that?
Aizawa told the class to pipe down before continuing. "What you wear in this exercise is up to you. I know you're excited about costumes, but keep in mind that you haven't gotten used to them yet, and they might limit your abilities." The special compartments holding their suits slid out of the wall. "This special training is at an off‐campus facility, so we'll be taking a bus to get there. That's all. Start getting ready."
They all quickly changed into their costumes before congregating outside the school gate. Everyone was in full costume except for Midoriya. Bakugou had done a real number on his adorable green suit during their last heroics class, so the boy was forced to walk around in his gym uniform until the repairs were finished.
They reluctantly lined up outside the bus per the new Class President's instructions. Sana felt a cruel twinge of satisfaction as she boarded the bus and noticed the open layout. Nice try, Iida. She nabbed a spot in the middle next to Kirishima, who was practically vibrating in his seat. Everyone was feeling the excitement. The amount of energy pouring off of them was almost tangible.
"If we're pointing out the obvious, then there's something I wanna say..." Tsuyu caught their attention. She turned to the resident broccoli boy. "About you, actually."
The greenette blushed. "About me? What is it, Asui?"
"I told you to call me 'Tsu.'" The frog-like girl reminded him, flustering the poor thing even more.
"Oh, y-yeah. Right."
The green-haired girl help her finger to her lip in contemplation. "That power of yours. Isn't it a lot like All Might's?" The sound that came out of Midoriya's mouth nearly made Sana snort unattractively. The boy was a red, sweaty mess.
Yeah, I guess... if you ignore the fact that his limbs turn to spaghetti every time he uses it.
Kirishima also pointed out the big difference between their quirks before sighing. "Still, I bet it's cool to have a simple augmenting‐type of Quirk. You can do lots of flashy stuff with it." He held out an arm, activating his quirk. "My hardening's super strong and can destroy bad guys in a fight, but it doesn't look all that impressive."
Sana nudged his knee with her's. "Aren't you being a little hard on yourself?"
"Oh, no way," Midoriya shook his head in denial. "I think it's really awesome looking," he insisted. "You're definitely pro material with a Quirk like that."
Thank you, Midoriya, for being so kind. Sana shot him a grateful smile.
"You really think so?" The redhead brightened, but he still looked a little down. "Seems like it'd be easier to be a popular hero if I had something flashier."
"My navel laser's got the perfect combination of panache and strength." Aoyama proudly pointed out, but Mina was quick to pop his bubble.
"But it's way lame if it gives you a stomachache, sweetie." The French boy deflated at that.
"Well, if any of our classmates have pro Quirks," Kirishima steered the conversation back on track."It's gotta be Todoroki, Sakano, and Bakugou."
Sana was genuinely surprised to hear her name mentioned. Not that she didn't believe in herself and her abilities, but to have someone else acknowledge her strength was so rewarding. She'd been compared to Shoto her entire life, but this time was different. Finally, someone was seeing her as an individual, as someone capable of standing on their own, and not in someone else's shadow. Shoto and Bakugou had two of the strongest quirks she'd ever seen, and here was someone who viewed her on the same level as them. It just solidified her belief that she was meant to be here.
"Sure," Tsuyu admitted. "But Bakugou's always angry, so he'll never be that popular."
"What did you say? I'll kick your ass!" Bakugou jumped up from his seat, gripping the handrail tightly as if imagining their necks in its place.
Tsu didn't bat an eye. "See?"
She'd tried to hold it in, but she couldn't keep it in any longer. Sana clutched her sides, snickering uncontrollably. Kaminari joined in the teasing next, casually leaning back in the seat across from her and Kiri. "Y'know, we basically just met you. So it's kinda telling that we all know your personality is flaming crap mixed with garbage." The amusement in his eyes was unmistakable.
"You're gonna regret the day you applied to this school, loser!" Bakugou was perched on the rail now, ready to launch himself at the electric blonde.
Midoriya watched the one-sided argument unfold with a look like he was going to pass out or be carsick, neither of which Sana hoped to witness. They broke off into smaller conversations amongst themselves for the remainder of the short drive.
"We're here." Aizawa announced, standing at the front of the bus. "Stop messing around."
"Yes, sir."
The class stepped off the bus, only to be welcomed by a familiar face- well, mask. "Hello, everyone," The Pro Hero Thirteen greeted them with a wave. "I've been waiting for you! I can't wait to show you what's inside!" The young heroes followed their instructors into the building. From the outside, it didn't look like much. But inside...
"Holy crap!" Kirishima exclaimed.
The interior of the building was huge. A grand staircase led down to the main floor, where areas were sectioned off into mini environments. "A shipwreck, a landslide, a fire, a windstorm, etc..." U.A really went Plus Ultra with their budget, huh? "I created this training facility to prepare you to deal with different types of disasters. I call it the Unforeseen Simulation Joint, but you can call it USJ!"
Aizawa and Thirteen whispered to each other, the rescue hero holding up three fingers. Their homeroom teacher looked annoyed as he turned back to them. Thirteen, on the other hand, was as cheerful as ever.
"Excellent! Before we begin, let me just say one thing. Well, maybe two things... possibly three, four, or five."
The list keeps growing! 1-A sweatdropped.
"Listen carefully. I'm sure you're aware that I have a powerful Quirk called Black Hole. I can use it to suck up anything and turn it into dust, but my Quirk could also very easily be used to kill."
Shocked gasps filled the silence.
"Some of you also have powers that can be dangerous. In our superhuman society, all Quirks are certified and stringently regulated, so we often overlook how unsafe they can actually be. Please don't forget that if you lose focus or make the wrong move, your powers can be deadly. Even if you're trying to do something virtuous like rescue someone."
With great power comes great responsibility. Isn't that what the first heroes used to say?
"Thanks to Aizawa's fitness tests, you have a solid idea of your Quirk's potential. And because of All Might's combat training, you likely experienced how dangerous your powers can be when used against other people. Carry those lessons over to this class. Today, you're going to learn how to use your Quirks to save people's lives. You won't be using your powers to attack enemies or each other, only to help. After all, that's what being a hero is all about. Ensuring the safety of others. That's all I have to say. Thank you so much for listening."
The class clapped and cheered, amazed by the Pro's speech. Mr. Aizawa, of course, already looked like he wanted to go home.
"Right. Now that that's over..." All at once, the group moved their attention to the plaza, where the fountain was acting strange. Suddenly, a dark, misty cloud appeared, a pale hand emerging from the darkness. Mr. Aizawa stepped forward, instantly on alert.
"Stay together and don't move!" Thirteen warned.
The class watched in confusion and awe as their homeroom teacher took a defensive stance, his capture weapon floating around him. His stance was defensive, but strong, as more people stepped through the purple mist.
"Thirteen," Aizawa commanded over his shoulder, his focus locked onto the growing amount of strangers downstairs. "Protect the students!"
Out of the mist appeared a hulking shape. Purple-black skin was stretched tight across bulging muscles. The being's eyes were wide and empty, it's brain exposed. It's beak opened in a reverberating roar. What the hell is that thing? Sana's hands clenched at her side, a slight tremble in her fingers. It obviously wasn't human... not anymore, at least. The students looked to their teachers for guidance on what to do, their voices strained.
"Wait, has the training started already?" Ochaco's voice was apprehensive.
"I thought we were rescuing people?" Kirishima asked.
Sana wasn't so sure herself what was going on, but her gut told her it wasn't anything good. It was clear that as unconventional as his teaching style is, Aizawa wasn't behind this. He looked too tense, too taken aback by their arrival. In that moment, he wasn't 1-A's Aizawa, but the Pro Hero Eraserhead.
So if it's not part of the training, then what-
Midoriya went to move closer, but was instantly scolded. "Stay back!" The raven-haired man threw his arm out. "This is real. Those are villains." Sana inhaled sharply, her gaze jumping between her classmates, her teachers, and the villains below.
It seems we're the ones in need of rescuing.

✩ character A is a sex worker, character B is a john that hires them. after several meetings, character B starts to fall in love with character A. lots of smut, dead dove themes like drug/alcohol abuse, violence, sexual abuse, etc. i’m okay writing this as fxf, fxm, or mxm—just let me know what you’d prefer! i would write character A.
✩ this is more of a vague porn with plot kind of idea and is definitely quite dark. basically character A is a stealth trans person (i’m open to writing a trans man or trans woman, or someone nonbinary) during the victorian era. character B finds out and blackmails character A into trading sex for their silence. again, lots of dead dove themes, including corrective rape, misogyny/transphobia, noncon, potential breeding/pregnancy scare, etc. again, i would prefer to write character A.
✩ ancient greek lesbians!! i want to do something set during ancient greece, and we can include mythological creatures/stories into the thread as well! two badass amazons fight a hydra! a water nymph falls in love with a human! the possibilities are endless! we can definitely include darker themes ofc but this one is definitely one of the lighter plots i’m wanting right now. we could even include monsterfucking/teratophilia as i’m very partial to that, but not necessary.
✩ another one that’s more of a porn with plot kind of thread but whatever LOL character A (unsurprisingly the one i want to write) is a typical woman working a 9-5 office job. one of her coworkers, character B, becomes obsessed with her and eventually kidnaps her, keeping her locked away as one of their possessions. character B can be any gender, i don’t mind! i just want more angsty and problematic porn plots lmao
and of course i’m open to any other ideas as well; these were just the plot ideas that have been stuck in my head for a while. i’m happy to discuss any limits/triggers beforehand in order to avoid those topics, and overall i’m just excited to be back into writing! i’m pretty laid back in general as long as communication is good between my writing partner and i.
anyway, like this and i will reach out ♡
like if you're interested and op will reach out

Some more possible scraps of interest from the DA:D leak on Reddit, from another user (not OP) in the comments, under a cut due to DA:D spoilers:
first, the usual set of disclaimers that should be kept in mind with all leaks: might not be real, unable to verify at present, sometimes leakers think they’re right about things but are unintentionally incorrect or got some wires crossed, games change a fair bit between development phases and final release, take with grain of salt etc.
-
User: "I have a feeling I've seen the same footage the leaker is talking about [in reference to the Insider Gaming article]. If so, it's from a pre-Alpha build from almost a full year ago."
-
User: "This [in reference to the Reddit screenshots & gif] is from the same footage I've seen, and it's worth pointing out that it's of a build from nearly a full year ago.
Also, right around the end of the footage, a (literally) huge bit of popular Dragon Age speculative lore fodder pops up, although context is a bit unclear due to the rough nature of the build."
-
User: "The purple stuff on the ground is part of gameplay mechanic, where you open up areas of the level by destroying nodes connected by the tendrils. There's also bit in the footage where a glowing purple tentacle attacks an NPC. I feel like I have a decent guess as to what/who the tentacle/purple goo is related to story wise, but it's strictly a guess.
Based on a cutscene at the end of the footage, the sword seems to have some significance — at least in this quest — but context is down to a few dialogue wheel options without sound, and without working captions."
[source, two <- DA:D spoiler warning for links]
Notes/thoughts: "Right around the end of the footage" is around when the Reddit screenshot leaker notes that once the player reaches the library in this segment, they close the gates and come face to face with the attacking dragon, where "it appears you are then supposed to try and chain the dragon up". "(literally) huge" would work in describing something of a size with a dragon.. so the question is, what bit of popular DA speculative lore fodder relating to dragons could it be? an Old God? Flemeth, still alive, returning in dragon form? an Archdemon of a double Blight? I keep thinking about Yavana's words in the Silent Grove.. "Your heart beats with the old blood, as well. Where do you think it comes from? It sings of a time when dragons ruled the skies. A time before the Veil, before the mysteries were forgotten. Can you hear it?"
Are the nodes connected by tendrils the same things as the Spawn Boils? Are the tendrils/tentacles connected to lyrium? could it have something to do with Ghil, given the body horror and monster pools? 👁 hmm purple in this franchise corresponds to.. Wisdom, pride (or Pride), Solas by proxy, necromancy, the fire in Trespasser, the ancient elvhen spirits in Trespasser..
and what's with the sword? :D

Baldur's Gate 3 Tav Ask Game
Following this post by @spacebarbarianweird
The list of questions is from @tolkien-fantasy.
My Tav's OC lore under the cut. This is the lady in all my fics.
Tumblr media
Here she is being pleased with herself for being a little shit. She was not, indeed, better than those juvenile antics.
Why did you pick the race you did for your Tav?
Half-elf, for I am a basic bitch (and one who likes the idea of their character having a longer-than-human lifespan)
Why did you pick the class you did for your Tav?
Bardlock. Heavily leaning bard in HC. A bard is a lot of fun to write, but I prefer to play magic types.
What is your character’s moral alignment?
Chaotic neutral.
How did you choose your Tav’s name, if you gave them a unique one?
She doesn't use her real name. Her patron insists that she calls herself Asmodea, in honour of Asmodeus. It's meant to be ironically pompous, because frankly she's a pretty shit warlock.
What are your character’s strongest and weakest stats (strength, charisma, etc)? 
Maxed out charisma, but needs to resort to asking Str 8 Astarion to open jars for her. Wisdom is clearly not up there either, given some of the choices she's made.
What is your Tav’s origin story? 
I started typing out an essay, but will try to condense as much as I can:
Unwanted child between elf (mother) and human (father), raised by father. Doesn't know elven side of family. Was sent off for schooling as a young adolescent. Father dies, any and all traces of family fortune gone, only debts that she would now have to take over. Unable to continue studies, gets kicked out. Can't go back home. What do? Hooks up with guy, guy turns out to be bandit. Joins and runs with bandits for years. Picks up bard skills along the way. Banditry gets progressively worse, more violent and dangerous, and she eventually says "fuck this" and sneaks off with whatever loot she can carry. Keeps changing names and appearance and lives as a traveling bard for the next decade or so.
Enters pact with an otherworldly being shortly before events of BG3. Not her brightest moment, but one that kept her out of jail, at least.
Then nautiloid happens.
What was the most significant moment in your Tav’s origin story? 
I would say suddenly finding yourself penniless and roofless and having to learn how to survive was a pretty big deal.
What deity, if any, does your character worship? 
None.
What is your Tav’s biggest priority or goal?
Part of the terms of the patron's contract is keeping them entertained, so she is, indeed, forced to live in 'interesting times', or create them personally.
If your Tav didn’t become an adventurer, what else would they be doing?
She didn't really have particular plans for her future before everything went haywire.
What is your Tav’s most used weapon or spell? 
Eldritch blast. Pew pew.
What is your Tav’s favorite school of magic/weapon type?
Realistically, anything ranged.
How does your Tav fight in a combat situation?
Poorly. Tries to stay away from hand to hand combat as much as possible. Stays close to Astarion.
Does your Tav know any other languages besides Common? 
Note: OP doesn't know enough DND lore to really say. Let's go with whatever human language is appropriate for the Sword Coast area + bits and pieces from numerous other languages that she's picked up in her travels.
If your Tav could/does multiclass, what other class would they choose?
Is a bardlock.
Which of the companions does your Tav trust most? 
Astarion because bae. Karlach because friend. Lae'zel because predictable.
Which of the companions does your Tav distrust most?
Shadowheart. She always seemed like she had an ulterior agenda that she might foresake everyone else for.
She's not too fond of Gale's bomb and all the surrounding circumstances either.
Who is your Tav’s biggest rival?
She doesn't really think of her companions in those terms. Wyll's clearly a better warlock, but she simply accepts that.
Who is your Tav romancing, if anyone?
Astarion. Of course it's Astarion.
If you’re romancing anyone, why did your Tav fall for them? And why did that character fall for your Tav?
They connected through a shared sense of humour, impulsivity, dramatics, and desire to make the world burn just to see what happens.
If you’re romancing anyone, who fell first and who fell harder?
They arguably started falling more or less at the same time. Astarion fell harder.
How does your Tav act around their crush?
They started off by putting on a show of a massive love affair as a running gag to amuse themselves and annoy their other companions, until at some point it wasn't acting anymore. Related fic.
What is your Tav’s favorite moment they’ve had with their lover?
She rather enjoyed seeing him tear out a bandit's throat with his fangs to protect her.
What is your Tav attracted to? What are their turn-ons and turn-offs? 
Attracted to humour, independence and self-sufficiency. Likes it when people are straightforward and can keep up with her.
Incompetence, neediness or just plain being boring are major turn-offs.
Does your Tav have any biases against other classes or races? 
Not any more than the average person. She's met plenty of different people on her journeys. Goblins, half-orcs and drow are, in her experience, even worse than their stereotypes. The tieflings she's met have mostly been lovely though, she doesn't understand the hate for them.
What is the most prominent color in your Tav’s color scheme?
Doesn't really stick to any particular colours as doesn't want to be too easily recognised.
What is their sense of humor like?
Inappropriate. Also finds great joy in just being immature at times.
What is your Tav’s guilty pleasure?
Horrendously bad erotica novels. A hobby she shares with Astarion, actually. They keep a running tally of each instance of "velvet-wrapped steel" they come across, and occasionally perform dramatic in-character readings at camp for everyone's benefit, when the writing is sufficiently atrocious.
How easily offended are they? How do they act when offended?
Not easily at all, or rather doesn't let it get to her. She will remember, however, and is not above enacting petty, spiteful revenge.
How does your Tav react when someone insults their friend/partner?
Usually by saying something like "no, it's not worth it, let's just go, oh no, how will they ever walk again, that sure is a broken kneecap, shame about the face, welp, there go the teeth" and not actually intervening. Astarion can take care of himself.
How does your Tav dress for different occasions, like very fancy situations?
She hasn't had a chance to dress for a fancy occasion since she was a teenager. I think she would go all out given the opportunity. A combination of practicality and allure in everyday life - her vocation does require that she presents well. And that she is able to get away quickly should shit hit the fan.
How did your Tav get their scars, if they have any?
No major scars.
What is your Tav’s relationship with their family?
Doesn't know mother's elven side, and father's dead. She's got extended family, somewhere, but they've never been close.
What is your Tav’s opinion on nobility and authority?
Fuck the police. Eat the rich. She's technically still on the run from the law, not that 'the law' is competent enough or cares enough to find her.
How does your Tav react to wearing the Wavemother’s robe? How do they react to their partner wearing it?
They think it's hilarious and argue about who looks better in it. Neither will admit, but they both think Gale wore it best.
What is your Tav’s favorite type of environment? Like in a tavern, a library, out in the wilderness, underground, etc.
Honestly, she is sick and tired of taverns and the wilderness. She craves being someplace comfortable and more refined.
What would your Tav’s Zodiac sign be?
Sigh, OP is not into this, but going by the stereotypes - Aries might suit.
What is their favorite season?
Summer. Because fuck snow, fuck rain, fuck mud, fuck cold.
Where in the world does your Tav want to visit the most?
She's never had a chance to sail and is curious about that.
What is the biggest mistake your Tav ever made?
The banditry definitely wasn't a great choice.
What animal best represents your Tav?
Some form of talking parrot that might shit on you as they fly overhead
What flower/tree/plant best represents your Tav?
Four leaf clover
What does your Tav smell like?
Honestly, not that great at the moment, but hopefully she'll find a bath soon
What song best represents your Tav?
Oh boy. Gogol Bordello - Not a Crime came to mind. It's got the energy of something she might play. And the lyrics are suitable.
What would be your Tav’s favorite music genre?
I think she would have an eclectic taste, leaning towards the more lively end of the spectrum.
What role would your Tav play in a highschool AU? (nerd, jock, bully, goth, etc)
Theater kid that's always skipping class
What is the most important item your Tav has?
It's for practicality rather than sentimental value, but she does need her instruments. She's also got numerous notebooks where she jots down notes for her stories.
Where does your Tav feel most at home?
She may be tired of them, but she is most at ease and in her element in a busy tavern.
What is your Tav’s philosophy on life?
Trust your gut. Don't ask for permission. Better to regret doing than regret not doing.
Does your Tav think more with their heart or their brain?
She flips a coin when conflicted.
What does your Tav want in their future? (domestic bliss, more adventure, a family, etc)
Some kind of stability, at least for a while. Doesn't see herself as a mother or housewife though.
What is your Tav’s worst fear?
Helplessness and loss of freedom
Is your Tav easily tricked or deceived?
No, she's very distrustful given the amount of tricking and deceiving that she's had to do herself.
If your Tav was granted a single wish, what would it be?
Immortality. Like I said, she isn't particularly wise.
How does your Tav feel about keeping secrets, both their own and others?
She'll respect other people's secrets if they respect hers.
How would your Tav react to a love confession?
Oh I have a whole fic about that.
What are your Tav’s biggest insecurities?
Struggles with impostor syndrome generally. Can't believe she hasn't gotten everyone killed yet. Why are they following her?
What is your Tav’s favorite food?
Anything with a bit of a kick to it. Dislikes bland food as much as she dislikes bland people.
How generous is your Tav, especially to those they don’t know?
Generally, she's not. Rather, she can be generous with information, not so much with money, items or time - unless it doesn't really hinder her or she stands to benefit in the long run. No point helping those who can't help themselves. She might make an exception for children or other women - she knows how rough it can be.
If an evil character told your Tav that they wanted to change and help them, would they believe it?
This would have to be an actions speaking louder than words situation. She'll believe it when she sees it.
What does your Tav want to be remembered by?
She's documenting the current journeys, but hasn't decided yet whether to keep her name in it. Or if so, which name.
What Tarot Card best represents your Tav?
Really not my forte. Perhaps Page of Wands.
What would be your Tav’s major in college?
Literature
Does your Tav consider themselves a hero, villain, victim or something else?
A reluctant participant and chronicler.
How good is your Tav at giving advice? How good are they at following it themselves?
“She generally gave herself very good advice, (though she very seldom followed it).”
How does your Tav get along with each party member?
Karlach is her best friend in the group. She wishes she could have had Karlach with her as a travelling companion over the past 10 years, watching her back and stirring shit up with her.
Gale annoys the shit out of her with the unrequited crush he's got for her.
She finds Lae'zel to be a breath of fresh air with how she says exactly what she thinks, and actually feels like she can relax around her.
Shadowheart unnerves her somewhat. She doesn't really trust any religious fanatics.
She would ordinarily be annoyed with someone like Wyll for the excessive altruism, but he is genuinely such a kind and openhearted person that she can't help but like him. She is NOT allowing him to co-write their adventures though.
Is somewhat intimidated by Halsin's sheer life experience.
And then there's Astarion, but you know about that.
What are your Tav’s other hobbies?
She drinks. She cheats at cards. And she writes. Whether it's chronicling their journey or original stories that come to mind. Thank goodness for that bag of holding, she's been lugging her notebooks around for years, not having anywhere to store them.

A hint of the next AoKi fic
It's AoKi day... and due to various reasons I only got a fic STARTED. and I have a new rule: no more WIPs on AO3 unless they are finished. (except for the ones I am finishing up...) but this isn't AO3, so I am going to share the opening.
Just a few short notes... when I asked for ideas, @formlesscopycat said prison au, and @slicesofapple said a dom Aomine.
So I smooshed them together and you can't tell where it is going yet, but I love the start!
(It was originally called 'where you belong' and I was thinking about jail, but I already have an AoKi fic called 'Where you belong(by my side)' so that doesn't work)
~o~
Kise has never been to jail before.  And he can’t believe he’s going there now!
“I didn’t do i-“
“I don’t really care,” the officer escorting him to his new home informs him. “You have a problem, then get your lawyer to deal with it.”
And that, was that.
~o~
Okay not really. The trip to the prison is long and slow.
“Surely prison vans can go the speed limit?” he asks, entirely innocently, cos weren’t there rules about how slow you could go and the highway? “What happens if the driver is arrested? What if-“
“You really need to shut up before I do something about it.”
Mr Prison Guard was tetchy. Kise sniffs and and is silent for all of 84 seconds, until he can’t deal with it any more.
“I just think we should-“
The scream the prison guard gives is not quiet.
~o~
He happily drops him off at the gate.
“You’re leaving?” Kise asks, a little sad. “I felt like we were just getting to know each other, and-“
“He’s all yours. He’s all fucking yours,” Kasamatsu snarls. Kise feels inordinately proud that he got a name. But it was a four-hour drive, and Kasamatsu got sick of being called Mr Prison Guard about two and a half hours in. That was after establishing that he is a driver, but Kise thinks it’s still a job where he guards prisoners, so he’s a prison guard.
~o~
Intake is almost as slow as the drive him. Which Kise informs the new prison guard.
Who blinks at him from behind his glasses.
“You want this to be… quick?”
Kise nods, decisively. “Yeah, well, I’m innocent, so the sooner I get in, the sooner I get out right.”
Glasses kind of stares at him. He goes to speak twice, shaking his head each time, before he (slowly) pulls Kise’s paperwork. “Says here you were soliciting and then tried to bribe the police when they arrested you?”
Sighing, Kise flops back, placing his handcuffed wrists as attractively as possible. “I know what it says, but I never sleep with people for money. I only have sex with people I want to have sex with, because that is the point of sex. Not that I am anti sex work, by the way. But I make my money modelling. At least at the moment. I’ll be a pilot one day -  I need to get my license while I still have 20-20 vision. I read that even if you need glasses, if you get them after you become a pilot it’s still okay. And don’t worry! I’ll still look fabulous. Not everyone can rock the megane look, it’s true, but I absolute-“
“So you weren’t soliciting?”
Kise sniffs. “It was bad timing. We’d been at a party, so I was in costume for that. And can I tell you, I looked good! It was a take on angels – normally angels are all icy silver and white, but I don’t look good in white, so I changed it up for ambers and golds and-“
“Why didn’t you go as a Greek or Roman God? Or acolyte, or whatever. More colour op-“
He’s interrupted by Kise’s wail. “Oh my god you are right! I could have had so much fun! I mean, I looked great as a golden angel, but I could have had options and I hate-“
The guard (who was probably Imoyoshi, given that is a name plate on the desk) stops him. “Well, innocent of the crime or not, you do seem pretty innocent.”
There's a double meaning there, and Kise can’t let that pass! “Look, I’m not saying I’m a slut or anything, which would still be okay by the way, but I’m not innocent-“
Kise continues to rant, until he notices that Imayoshi isn’t paying attention. In fact he looks a little worried. And that’s not great. Kise leans forward, an earnest expression in his face.
“I’ve been sitting here just talking about myself, and here are you needing some help. I’m a very good listener, and pretty good at advice too.”
Imayoshi looks at him, speechless. Kise nods encouragingly, but inside is a little worried. This is now two prison guards who could barely speak. Who were they hiring? Surely this was a job that needed good communication skills?
Letting out a breath, Imayoshi laughs. “Yeah I’m worried, but about you.
They’re at the door, when Imayoshi stops short. “Wait, I have to know. What was with the official corruption?”
“The what?”
“Bribing a police officer.”
Kise frowns, then his expression clears. “I wasn’t bribing anyone! I thought they were at the costume party too, and the police outfits didn’t match at all! So I offered to help them out of their uniforms, and then more turned up and I thought they might have been strippers and then they weren’t and-“
Someone weaker than Imayoshi would have laughed.

The Limitation of Creation Powers
Many of us at this point have speculated that Will has some kind of creation power.
The theory revolves around the idea that Will shaped the Upside Down into what it is today, a blue dim version of Hawkins. This came about due to the fact that the Upside Down did not used to look that way. At some unspecified point in time, the Upside Down shaped itself to resembled Hawkins the night Will was taken.
We are keenly aware based on season 1 that the Upside Down does not reflect the real world in present day, it is specifically set on the day Will was taken and only a few special locations (such as the school) have been change or updated in any way.
The only three culprits are Henry, El, or Will. Neither Henry or El have intimate knowledge of Hawkins outside of the lab in present day, unlike Will. For the better part of the series, Henry has not had the power to open gates or interact with the real world at all, let alone duplicate it. The only other possibility is El opening the gate copied its surroundings, but the same can't be said about any other gates we've seen so far, permanent and temporary.
So let's assume at this point that somehow, someway, Will shaped the current appearance of the Upside Down. With this, we must acknowledge that the Upside Down is kinda a metaphysical place. It feels real. It looks real. But it's possible it's not AS real as the real world which is why it can be changed so drastically.
The ability to create something out of nothing?? Sounds op right? I've seen the friendly debates and concerns about that, so I'd like to introduce some limitations to such a power.
#1. This power is EXTREMELY circumstantial. I don't believe Will would be able to sit down in his kitchen and say "I would like some chicken nuggets" and a plate of chicken nuggets will appear in front of him. At least, not right now. A mixture of fear, panic, despair, and being in an unfamiliar alternate universe probably created the perfect conditions for Will to accidentally shape the Upside Down in Hawkins. Meeting those kinds of conditions again is next to impossible, it has to be a dire circumstance probably
#2: Shaping the Upside Down in that way was probably a once in a lifetime thing. If Will shaped the Upside Down into Hawkins, he's completely unaware of it and it likely won't happen again. If it does happen again, once again, it'll be probably the last time it ever happens.
#3: If he has this power, there's no indication he can use it in the real world. It may be something only possible in the Upside Down.
#4: If all of those restrictions aren't a thing, then the main restriction would be the amount of time and energy such a power would take. It takes El all of her energy to banish people/things to other realms. To tear the Meat Flesher in half temporarily. To close a huge gate. Even to take down a helicopter. Shaping the real world is probably a power anyone is incapable of doing unless they plan to die for it.
So so there we are. Some handicaps/restrictions on the power of creation. I do believe in this theory, but I don't feel like Will is OP if he has it. There's just no way it's something he can do at the flick of his wrist like El can with her powers. It is pretty powerful, which in turn makes it almost useless in almost all circumstances.

Huge Valheim update Hildir’s Request is live – patch notes 0.217.14
Tumblr media
Update on Valheim On active servers, Hildir's Request has arrived. It's time to move on and find Hildir in Valheim if you've been waiting for the major overhaul to be implemented in the actual game. Hildir, the merchant's sister and a follower of Haldor, has encountered issues with missing goods in the Viking co-op survival game. The update also adds difficulty factors, and creator Iron Gate is holding a Valheim competition called the Trial of Tyr to test the mettle of the game's most ferocious players. The Valheim Hildir’s Request patch notes lay out everything you need to know – the full patch notes below are listed in both abbreviated and complete forms to keep those of you who prefer to avoid spoilers safe. Along with the new merchant and her associated quests, there are also several new Valheim dungeons and mini bosses to encounter, along with some crafting improvements and additional items. If you’re wondering how to find Hildir in Valheim, you’ll want to head to the Meadows biome. She’s got a few possible spawn locations that can be allocated at random, so have a wander around and you’ll probably spot her icon or the roaring fire at her camp. Also included in the update are eight new hairstyles and five additional beards – along with a barber station that lets you adjust these in-game. When you’ve made your choice, you’ll also be pleased to know that equipping helmets no longer hides your hair selection, making it all the more worthwhile. Several quality-of-life improvements are also rolled in, such as improved quick stacking and manual snapping to make precise Valheim building easier, and then there’s the new difficulty modifiers. You’ll have a choice of a lower-difficulty casual mode, a ramped-up hardcore playthrough, or the option to adjust server difficulty modifiers individually to customize your experience more thoroughly. If you think you’ve got what it takes to be the best, you might want to join the Valheim Trial of Tyr. This hard mode contest runs Tuesday August 22 to Tuesday September 5, 2023 and tasks you with completing a run up to and including mounting the head of the final Mistlands boss on the game’s hard difficulty preset as a solo player without dying, getting outside help, or using any dev commands. Trials of Tyr rules Those of you wanting to join the Trial of Tyr will need to play with a fresh character on the official world seed ‘MX7L9GYcf2’ on the ‘Hard’ difficulty preset. Your run must be streamed on Twitch or YouTube or fully recorded without any breaks in footage, and then sent to @Valheimgame on Twitter using the hashtag #Trialoftyr. If you manage to record the fastest time, you’ll earn “a custom-made engraved Viking tankard” bearing your name and time.

20+, Semi-active, Semi-selective, OC. Currently indulging in the One Piece fandom but originally fandomless.
About/Introduction:
Heya! I'm Kyra (she/her). I'm over 25 years old and do not interact with minors. On occasion i will be MIA/hiatus, but I'm free mostly on the weekends. Forgive me if I am slow in posting or disappear from time to time. Apparently i need to validate my age now as I was called a minor so here goes:
I remember first hour math class in high school during 9/11 - graduated 2004
i rocked out to Fraggle Rock (childrens program circa 1980s) as a toddler
i remember snow on the ground in October and going trick or treating in a snow suit because it was that cold (Midwest USA, circa '91)
Interactions:
Please feel free to follow and/or message me if you are interested in interacting! I do not always follow back right away, especially for multi-muse blogs where I am not sure which muse you'd like to interact with. But I am open to asks, messages, etc. from non-mutuals as well! Talking is always a plus!
Please be advised though, when the muse hits I can be very active, but at the same time it depends on how my writing process is going. I also do use icons or if it is hard to describe i will throw in a gif of her being a smart-ass or her giving a look.
Shipping / Relationships:
Please talk to me about this. Don't try to force it or intimacy because let's face it, she's violent and will shoot, and she has really good aim. I would prefer to work on pre-establishing something to work with, however she is a flirt and manipulative to either get out of trouble or get her way.
About my OC:
OP verse
Kanrya 'the Kitsune' Zura, Rya to her friends, considers herself a smuggler granted her ties to more infamous names such one of the four Emperors. She doesn't remember much from her childhood past the point of being abducted by slavers, breaking free and scuttling the ship on an island where she was picked up by Shanks. She does have faded dark marks around her wrists and ankles as well as a light circle around her neck where the shackles and collar sat though from years in the sun it has faded a bit. With some of my mutuals it is well known that she does have a child by the 4th commander of the Whitebeards, by the name of Thaddeus. She took his fathers death hard, and after the Marineford events, being forced to work for Doflamingo under threat of her childs life, and being an informant to bring about his downfall. If you don't want a munchkin running around let me know.
Baldur's Gate verse
Still considering of how to bring this about. Will likely need a sounding board on this. Have a couple of ideas but nothing solid. Would still likely have her as a smuggler or possible Zhentarium or Guild member. Would likely be a rogue. maybe have some assassin training? Like I said I definitely need a sounding board.
Other verses pending

Not sure what Bungo stray dogs is, but if you want tell me your head cannons
Hiiiii, Lena! Ok, ok, ok, I’m gonna explain. Please note that I haven’t been able to read the manga yet so I’m workin’ on super duper loose terms. So, in the most basic form of explanations, BSD is a mafia vs. detectives anime featuring superhumans called Abilities users. These Ability users are named after/based on famous authors, particularly from Japan, although there are some American authors (the Guild) and European authors (mainly Russian and French), and their abilities are based on a work from that author. For example, John Steinbeck’s ability, Grapes of Wrath, allows him to grow grapevines which can be grafted to other trees and people. There are multiple different organizations in the world, but the Port Mafia and Armed Detective Agency are the two major ones at the start of the story--PM acts as the evil, ADA as the good. It’s more complex than that, but that’s the easiest way to explain the whole thing without writing pages and pages.  So, for my little OC, I came up with a character called Mercury Gray, since that’s my writing pseudonym, with the ability “Uriel and Eden’s Gates”. I’d consider her part of the ADA, maybe post-Guild arc since that opens up American Ability users coming to Yokohama. The ability itself is like a watered down version of Light Snow (which projects illusions) and Demon Snow (an armed spirit). It causes a hallucination of the victim’s greatest desire (Eden’s Gates) and then a small spirit manifestation that renders the victim unconscious (Uriel, the Guardian of Eden). Only the victim and the ability user are able to see the hallucination, and Uriel is incapable of killing the victim. The key to Eden’s Gate is that it digs into the victim’s deepest subconscious desires, so what they see might not be something they’re even aware they want. Overall, the character is an optimist who wants to solve problems with as little violence as possible. I also have an idea for what that ability might have become in the Port Mafia, but I like this version best. I know it’s probably a little Mary Sue, but I tried to keep the character balanced and not super OP. I actually wanted to write a series about what each character’s Eden’s Gate would be, so if anyone is interested in my take on that or would like to submit your own ideas for that, please do!

patreon-likes summary
ok, fruits of my researches. linking my pages when they exist.
Patreon:
charges monthly
the largest such site, widely used. supports Discord integration.
8% + payment processing fee, 5% for basic (no tiers) mode
NSFW art and nudes allowed but not IRL sex acts
pays out through Paypal or Payoneer.
Ko-Fi:
built around one-off payments rather than recurring
nominally 0% cut, but some features (incl. donor exclusive posts, scheduling, changing colours) gated behind a 5% cut.
NSFW art very emphatically not allowed. (you can set a NSFW tag on your page which mostly seems to be a cover your ass thing if you post anything even slightly suggestive.)
pays out through Paypal or Stripe.
Pixiv Fanbox:
charges monthly.
closely tied to Pixiv, the big Japanese illustration site. so if you make anything anime adjacent this is the place to be.
seems like the company have been making a big push to court English and Chinese speakers lately, so the site is usable in English now.
10% cut. Only supports yen.
NSFW art allowed and a focus of the site; very little rule enforcement on Pixiv proper but might be more strict when payment is involved. No photos.
pays out through Paypal, or direct to a Japanese bank account.
Liberapay:
charges weekly.
selling point is that it lowers processing fees by batching payments as much as possible. i.e. you pay liberapay once in advance for all the people you’re subbed to, I think is the idea. also emphasises that these payments are just donations, they don’t carry any obligations with them.
no cut from Liberapy, est. <5% fee for payment processing.
NSFW allowed, with the warning that Liberapay can’t stop you being banned by a payment processor.
pays out through Paypal or Stripe.
looks promising if you know some like, software nerd type people who will nod appreciatively when the site starts talking about Free, Libre, Open. But inevitably the question is how many people are actually on there? Still if someone doesn’t care about donation incentives may be good to steer them there, it’s nice and minimalist.
Sponsus:
charges monthly.
calls itself a ‘worker-owned co-op’ but in practice seems to be a solo dev effort. small user base. has some nice features, including Discord integration. supposed to let you import stuff from Patreon.
unfortunately encountered some jank while trying to set up my page. tech support is joining a pretty small discord where like... conversation is a handful of people saying they’re still using it. will update this post if I get help but rn I think this is too bugged to be trustworthy.
7% cut.
NSFW art allowed, as long as it’s not “extreme and violent”. No photos.
pays out through Stripe.
conceptually I really wanted to like this one, but I just can’t recommend it.
sther:
this one came up as a potential rec in a twitter thread of patreon alternatives but it doesn’t seem to like... actually be anything more than one webpage right now? like there’s no where to sign up or anything, tested in chromium as well as firefox so it’s not just jank scripting.
so more of the idea of a thing? but if this is actually legit then...
charges monthly.
really overt social justicey marketing (“are you a woman, LGBTQ+, person of color, or ally? we want you!” ok back off mate) and unpronounceable name
claims no site fees until you earn at least $50/mo, thereafter a flat $5 fee; 5% transaction fee.
can’t find their NSFW policy, or indeed their anything policy
how do they pay out? it’s a mystery.
creator is pushing bitcoin on twitter lol.
like 50:50 on whether this is a scam or just a really naive person
OnlyFans:
charges monthly.
the current ‘only game in town’ for solo porn, not really used so much by illustrators, but I thought it’s interesting to compare.
20% cut. presumably because the main payment processors won’t play nice with sex work.
NSFW allowed. site made a move to ban sex workers but walked it back after outcry. they might try it again.
pays out through various types of bank transfer
cryptocurrency:
yeah no.
frankly looking at this field the best option seems to be to rely mostly on Patreon, and maybe keep Fanbox open to see if I can build a bit of interest in Japan.

19+ ONLY. MDNI
please I am desperate for some good good bloodweave. (astarion ancunin x gale dekarios) from Baldur's gate 3.
Looking for someone interested in playing astarion!
Look, look. Think of the possibilities. They both have conditions that cause them to NEED a certain type of sustenance. It's a need, it's a craving. Astarion sneaks off into the night prior to getting the courage to bite the player character (you SEE him sneaking around during the early camp rest scenes!), he hides his vampirism because he knows it might be iffy for the others to know.
Gale doesn't tell the player character or the others about the orb until you have enough approval with him because he can't just trust anyone with his secret. He only tells you he has a "condition" because he doesn't want to see the whole party blown up because of him.
Do you see what I'm getting at here? They both have conditions that force them into needing x to survive. There's hunger there. Maybe even a little shame too.
I'm thinking of Astarion coming back from one of his late night hunts to finding gale in a state of just utter desperation. He hadn't had a magical item to consume in a while. No one knows about his condition, he's away from home because of all the shit going on with the tadpoles, he's absolutely in the red zone of desperation. Astarion sees this, and you KNOW he would absolutely see a chance to take advantage.
I mean, tav doesn't exist in this picture, but astarion still needs someone to try to seduce for protection, right? What better open door is there than stumbling upon gale in this state? He could use this.
Cue to the circus clown music when he actually starts falling in love with this nerd later on like he does with Tav in the actual game 🤡🤡
Please I have thoughts. I need a good bloodweave rp, y'all 😩🤌
Discord is my main platform.
like if you're interested and op will reach out

Lunation: Chapter 6
It took a moment for Callum to register Soren’s figure fading into the darkness. He could have just let him be, of course, but then he vaguely remembered Soren’s announcement earlier during the Council Meeting.
And like lightning itself, a thought hit him. He needed a distraction. And Callum certainly did not feel like being alone. 
It was a rash decision, sure. And probably a mistake.
But sometimes, a good mistake needs making.
“Wait! Soren!” the young man called, hurrying his step to keep up with the taller man’s stride. “Wait up! Where are you going?”
Callum slowed as Soren turned and cautiously eyed him up and down. The Crown Guard only raised his eyebrows and continued his questioning glance. 
The younger man leaned on his knees, clearly out of breath. “Where - where are you going?” Callum repeated, huffing as he steadied from the rush. 
A surreptitiously look crossed over Soren’s features. "Out," he responded simply. 
Now Callum's brow furrowed. "Uh, yeah, I can see that. Out where?"
"I'm…" Soren peered around in all directions. "Going out for a drink ."
Callum suspected as much. “But Opeli said you were on duty - - “
"Shhhh!” Soren hissed, using his hands for emphasis. “I had someone cover me. I need it, okay. You’ll understand one day.” His pupils became wide as he almost began to plead. “ Please don't tell Opeli. She already chewed my butt out the last time I came back smashed…” He faced the gates of the square. “I'll be back in a bit."
The older man turned on his heels, moving - if possible - even faster then he was before. But Callum’s brain moved fast, too. 
“I won’t tell Opeli,” he called out, even though Soren was nearly across the courtyard. “If you take me with you.”
Soren’s figure stopped dead. Dramatically, he pivoted in the opposite direction to double back and face Callum, his lips pursed and his eyes doubting. 
He marched right back up to the young man. “Callum,” he stated, disbelieving. There was a pause, and then - “No offense,” he started with a blank, deadpan look. “But I don’t think you can keep up with me so...” and the young man inhaled deeply before spitting out a finite “ No. ” 
Soren, once again, tried to flee but - - “ Manis, Pluma, Volantis - - ”
“Dammit !” screamed Soren, only to realize he was shouting and likely drawing attention. Now he looked upward as Callum pumped his mage wings, ready to take flight. “Fine. You got me. Just - just stop making so much noise.” 
He turned, and steadily walked once again back across the courtyard, the guards pulling back the reins for the gates to open. Callum seemed to be stuck in his place, clearly dumbfounded that Soren actually said yes - even if he was the one who asked him to go in the first place.
“Well!” yelled Soren, already through the parted gates. “You coming or what?”
Callum and Soren - the drunk buddy comedy duo we didn't know we needed.
Read the rest (and more!) in Lunation, Chapter 6 on AO3
