NSFW, WLW MEN DNI!
Tumblr media
--------------------------------------------------
You we're in a poly relationship with two women named Arlecchino and Columbina. Arlecchino and Columbina was the first ones to start dating until Columbina introduced you to Arlecchino, agreeing to a poly relationship.
You and Columbina just got home from a shopping spree, mostly spending Arlecchino's credit card as she was one of the richest woman in the town.
"Phew, my legs hurt from walking.." You sighed as you plopped down the couch "Mhm.. Hey, where's Arle?" She questioned, "I think shes going to be home any minute now"
As soon as you said that someone opened the front door, "Hey ladies, busy shopping hm?" Arlecchino entered, her hair was a mess. "Mhmm! We bought new shoes and-" As Columbina yapped about the entire shopping spree you guys did.
"And you almost maxed out my credit card huh?" You and Columbina went silent. "Wellll-" As you were about to continue your sentence Arlecchino spoke, "Seems like your the one who spent alot of money hm?" Glaring at you while getting her necktie off, "Maybee" You confessed, "Naughty girl.. I need something in exchange right?" You wondered what she meant.
"I dont care if your legs hurt from the walking you've dome, you spent my money you need to pay it back." With her unbuttoned suit, "What do you mean by ,,exchange,,?.." you wondered, "Oh you'll know.. Bina, get them please." Pointing at the drawer, Columbina was smirking and smiling. Making you wonder whats about to happen, Columbina suddenly pulled out 2 straps and a vibrator.
"Y-you guys had those in that drawer the entire time?!" You we're shocked seeing those. "Good reasons Darling, now undress slowly and lay on the bed for us, hm? You're a good girl after all right." Columbina gave Arlecchino the other strap and the vibrator.
"Pst, Arle, you should go slow with them, its their first time yk?" Columbina suggested while whispering in Arlecchino's ear, "No, they can handle it." While you were fully stripped you were blushing hard. "You need lube.. Come here" Making you know she wants to make you sit on her lap.
"Good girl, now.." She turns on the vibrator and puts it on your sensitive clit, "Ngh..!" You moaned, you didnt notice the vibrator in her hand. She made the vibrator go faster and go in a circular motion, not too long she shoved it in.
"Agh..! Mmnn.." Your body was twitching and it was obvious you we're almost hitting your climax, "See Bina, she can handle it." She puts the vibrator on max, making you hit your climax. "Nngh!" She panted heavily. "I think thats enough lube.. Which are you ganna take Bina?" She questioned her, "I'll take the top part, that'll be fun!!" She gets on top of the bed and goes above your head,
"Such a pretty face.. Let me take a picture of before and after." She giggled as she took a picture of your face, "After what?.." You were confused, "You'll see baby, lets see how ruined your face is going to get after this mess." Arlecchino puts on the strap and puts a finger in signaling you, "Ngh..!" Im putting it in.
"O-ok-" You were cut off by Columbina, You didnt notice her get naked but she sat on your face. Riding it. You began to eat her out and holding her thigh, She moaned.
"Y-you're such a g-good! Girl.." She kept getting cut off from the pleasure, Meanwhile at Arlecchino's side.. She thrusted the Strap deep. "Agh..! Nngh..!" You moaned, her thrusts we're HARSH.
She hit your g-spot making you instantly climax, "Such a wet pussy." She kept thrusting harder and it became faster every thrust, Your eyes we're all teary from how hard and harsh the thrusts we're, but you couldnt breathe well since Columbina was sitting on top of you, you we're eating her out. She kept moaning, and humming, she giggled. "Aww, my babies pretty face got ruined already?~" Teasing you.
She took a picture of your teary face, "Agh!.." You kept moaning and twitching from evey thrust Arlecchino did. Arlecchino held your boobs, she licked and bit the side of your boobs while thrusting leaving a bite mark. "MMmmgh!.." You moaned, "Such a messy wet girl.." She said to you while thrusting even harder, every thrust hit your g-spot, you hit your climax once again.
"That was fast.." Your walls were so tight that she could even feel it from the strap. After 3 hours of this madness You guys finally stopped. "A-ah.." Your body twitches, your eyes teary and watery. Your hair and body was a mess.
"Aww~ My baby us so messy~ Did we take it too far Arle?~" Teasing you, "Probably, but she handled it. So she knows what'll happen the next time dhe Maxes my card. Bina took a picture of your face,
"Look at this messy face of our little girl.. So messed up~" Columbina was dripping from your eating her out. She couldnt even stand without her legs twitching, "She was a very hungry eater~" Glaring at you, your body was filled with bite marks and hickeys. "Such a strong girl.. Handling a 9 inch strap am i right Bina?" Taking the strap off, "Could we continue?~ I have the greatest idea!~" As she whispers something to Arlecchino, she nodded and picked you up, she puts on the strap once again and Columbina putted a strap on too.
Your legs we're already week. Knowing you won't be able to even walk for days. "Be a good girl and handle us ok?~" Columbina teased your clit, She inserts the strap into your ass and Arlecchino inserted the strap in your pussy.
"A-ah! T-too much..!" They we're already thrusting hard and fast. Leaving a bulge on your stomach from Arlechino's strap, double penetration was too much for you, you instantly hit your climax the minute you guys started, "I'll count how many climaxes you hit ~" Columbina said, continuing her hard thrusts. Arlecchino bit your shoulder leaving a mark, while columbina left a hickey on your neck, you hit your climax once again.
"2.." She counted as she promised. After another 3 hours of those two pounding your ass and pussy away, you couldnt feel a thing. You couldn't even stand,
"And 32!" You were shocked on how many climax you hit. "I think that's enough for today, right Arle?" Arlecchino nodded as she layed you down onto the bed. She chuckled, "You were such a good girl today. 6 Hours of pounding, Impressive." She smirked, "Pst, good thing i got a wheelchair!" As Columbina pulled out a wheelchair, thats why You wondered why she bought that earlier at the mall.
"I cant even feel my legs." You had no energy left leaving you to sleep. "Such a messy body and face, we did such a good job today Arle~" Columbina clapped, "Mhm.." Arlecchino giggled while agreeing.
THE END!!!!!
Thank you for reading, this was kinda rushed 😞 and lazyness got me, its not that good so im sorry 😿

Platonic Phoebe and Trevor x Gary Grooberson’s teen kid reader and adjusting to being stepsiblings?
OH MY GOD YES BRO RJSKDMSNSN ; I did my best pls bare w this 💀💀💀
SPENGLER SIBLINGS ; stepsiblings
summary ; youre Gary's kid and you have to adjust with two new stepsiblings
warnings ; language
disclaimers ; your mom is nonexistent/Gary adopted you. it's not a topic brought up at all I don't think but you can choose, ik some people don't like kid of ___ reader or ____ sibling reader so beware lol, takes place between afterlife and frozen empire so no spoilers for anyone who hasn't watched gbfe yet, reader can drive/is around Trevor's age
word count ; 675
masterlist
Tumblr media
it's so awkward at first
especially since you've never had siblings before so it's like they're teenage roommates
like okay your parents are dating or whatever but like, ew?
except you're living with them, not the other way around
both gary and callie are trying to urge you to interact but it's just not happening
you're not really a ghostbuster either, you aren't smart in the sciences and aren't into the whole ghost thing anyways
you're more into traditional ghosts anyways, not the ones that show up in broad daylight and need to be trapped by proton barriers
it's very rough at first
you connect with phoebe first, as a once in a blue moon experience happened, she wanted to act like a normal 14yo and go get ice cream
Callie couldn't take her because she was busy helping trevor with work stuff and told her to ask you
she was like 🤨 and like... "okay?-"
she asks and you look at her like 🤨😊
you guys go get ice cream and she tells you all about the shit you pass on the way there and back home
you surprisingly end up bonding over the struggle of talking to others like normal people and being well reserved with little to no friends
then comes the bonding over a certain book you both liked
the whole car ride home is oasis on the radio and chatter about this book, and going the longest possible way home because you didn't want this bonding moment to end
you sat in the car after phoebe got out, just sitting in silence
you were kind of in awe yet saddened the moment had ended because you were bonding so well
after that she clearly sees you in a new light and looks to you for your wisdom and clear view of the world when she's wrapped in her own madness and needs untangled
you were the trusting older sibling she needed since trevor never really understood the proper being there for your sister thing
they're proper siblings and whatnot but it's not like they go to each other if it's not to shit talk people
you're like their mediator and therapist sibling
getting through to trevor was much harder
you ended up finding him a job and he was like 🤨😒 when you showed him
"oh- uhm, sorry. I was just trying to be nice" and you quickly scramble away
he's just confused cause like ??? you never talked, he didn't even know how you knew he was looking for a job
he comes into your room a couple hours later like "Hey sorry I acted all weird, thanks"
and that's it
bonding with him is so hard, and Gary and Callie are like "okay go fucking do something"
you're all (spengler-groobersons + podcast bc phoebe needed a friend her age) out at an amusement park, and these mfs ditched yall at the carousel next to the bathrooms
and they weren't picking up their phones
you were basically forced to interact now, which was much less awkward in an amusement park
you guys ride some rides and get some food as you frequently call your parents
you finally find them, phew
but you two obviously made a little friendship and had fun together
took a little longer to get used to each other but you're fine now
awkward teenager shit yk?
in general, the three of you now are super close
trevor is your hype man when it comes to talking to people or doing something out of your comfort zone
phoebe is your hype man when you talk to her about maybe wanting to be a ghostbuster / study ghosts
you're the driver for the three of you, callie doesn't trust Trevor with driving, considering how he was driving the ecto1 when he first got it usable again, and obviously, phoebe can't drive
after a few years you're basically just like normal siblings
you three have a sibling group chat and it's 90% you sending memes, Trevor sending random tik tok links and phoebe begging you two to stop blowing up her phone
spenglerson siblings 🔛🔝

Pondering Sniper with his Emotional Support Scout (AU)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Modern+College AU speeding bullet
Both in their early transitional age (Scout is 19, Sniper is 22), they’ve already spent a handful of years, supposedly taking the steps to build their futures, but are they where they want to be? Are they going to where they want to be? Where is it anyways?
I just had the idea for a more grounded side to their story, slice-of-life in a coming-of-age setting, with themes of existentialism. I aged them down to make it work… Under cut for info dumps about these goobers 8)
Scout took a break right after high school, working for his family business (an unsuccessful one, ran by one of his oldest brothers). This used to be a summer job, a way to get extra money as a kid, but now he’s been a full time worker for 2.5 years, familial obligations exploiting him to stay, while being undermined by his narcissistic brother. He eventually gets out of it, but has to face the hurt from being used, and also the fact that he had to grow up so quickly as a kid (especially when he has to deal with the fallout caused by his Mom’s and Spy’s affairs. He and his Mom are in good terms, it’s just his Mom isn’t a good support system atm). Left to face the real world by himself, he tries to find a way to stabilize by himself, while trying to face his trauma (trauma from a missing father figure, and being treated as the black sheep of his family) as he finds a way to be more himself and be happy. He’s optimistic and responsible when the world calls for it, otherwise he’s most likely to test this new freedom (for better or worse). Eventually Spy comes around to try to reconnect with Scout, there’s no telling how Scout will cope with it when he’s in the midst his new-found freedom.
Sniper went straight to university, never once took a break from the school work, because he thinks that’s the only way to go about in life. He took up a program and career plan that was not right for him, but struggled his way through by retaking course’s countless of times, pulling off impossible all-nighters, etc. At some point he gave up, began to drop classes every semester, and finally quit the program. However, he started working somewhere in the industry he had been studying years for. He thought this could bring him forward, but it kept digging him a deeper grave. He’s a workaholic, impulsive, but lost. At a very young age, he was a subject of a tough custody battle between his neglectful biological parents (Lar-nah and Bill-bel), and his grandparents (who are Mr and Mrs Mundee in this AU). From that, his guardians want him to be better than his parents, and in return he strived for that. However, after giving up, he feels like a failure and is currently going through a period of depression. However, with the money he earned from his job, he wonders if he should take that road-trip he used to fantasize. He told himself doing this will help him find himself, but a part of him wonders if its just him trying to run away from something. Either way, he’s got a deal for a junk RV and he wants to renovate it!
After all that, Scout and Sniper meet, their lives are in the cross roads, and their relationship is a turning point as well. It feels like the world is moving faster than they can cope with, but can they find some respite in this new relationship together? DUN DUN DUUUN
Phew this was really fun to write! I really like their dynamic, romantic or not (idc). Them being the same age range inspired me to write this, because I know myself and some friends have gone through this similar experience aswell, and I just think its fun/interesting to explore that with they have in cannon.
A lot of this projection tho lmao with a loose base derived from cannon, and some embellishments to make this AU work.

Snap of fingers (1)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Summary: You only tried to help...
Pairing: Dean Winchester x Reader
Warnings: language, creature reader, mentions of death of a vampire
A/N: Phew...I finally dared to open my old folder filled with unwritten requests to write some of them. This one took like forever. Sorry.
Part 1/?
Tumblr media
“So, get this,” Sam lifts his gaze from his laptop to tell his brother what he found. “Castiel said the deaths could’ve been caused by an ancient creature. One no one knows anything about.”
“Very…interesting,” Dean turns his attention back toward the food in front of him. “What a way to spend our day off. Research and ted talk about ancient creatures.”
“An undiscovered one, Dean,” the younger hunter tuts. “Imagine, we are the ones finding a creature no one saw before. We could name it too!”
“We could…name it,” that picked Dean’s interest. “What can it do? Does that thing have powers?”
“Castiel said, that the werewolf and the ghoul just stopped breathing…I mean,” Sam shrugs. “I can’t describe it. It seemed like they aged within seconds and died of heart failure.”
“Odd-“ Dean buries his fork into the food. “Maybe it’s a life-stealer or a breath-taker,” he grins. “No! It’s a heartbreaker!”
“Can you just not,” his younger brother mutters. “There is a monster stealing life or something out there. What if it decides to go after people too?”
“We will kill it,” Dean slurps his noodles to rile his brother up. He eats noisily, grinning as Sam makes a face. “Just let me eat my food first.”
Tumblr media
“Hmm…what do we have here,” you watch two tall men, one with cute bowlegs, walk toward the building you just checked out. “Oh no. There is a monster inside, guys.”
Debating to follow and warn the men, or just use your powers you watch them enter the building.
“No, I can’t do it again. I had to take the werewolf and ghoul down as they wanted to kill me, but that vampire didn’t try to harm me.”
You harrumph.
If you don’t follow these innocent men, they are going to get sucked dry. On the other hand, they will get scared of you.
“Just a little peak. Maybe they don’t run into the vampire.”
Hurriedly making your way toward the building you try to remain calm. If the vampire attacks you, it will be the first time that you reveal your powers in front of people.
Tumblr media
“Goodnight, and thank you for the fun while it lasted,” one of the men grins as the vampire loses his head. “That was…easy.”
You gasp as the bowlegged man cleans his machete with a bandana. “Dean,” the other man says, “we should get rid of the body and go back to the bunker.”
“Sammy, let me have my fun.”
“Bunker—” you wonder aloud as the men pick the vampire’s body up. One of them holds the vampire’s ankles while the other one grabs the dead creature by its arms. “They are strong and are living at a bunker. Uh—and they got weapons too! They are hunters!”
“Sam.”
The body drops to the ground, and you are crowded by the two hunters seconds after you revealed you are hiding in the dark.
“Another one?” the taller man looks you up and down while the other one aims his machete toward your head. “A shame they got you, sweetheart. You’re a cute one.”
“HEY! I’m not a vampire,” you dodge Dean’s attack, screaming as the machete hits the wall behind you. “Watch it, hunter. You can’t just walk around and attack innocent bystanders! I came to warn you!”
“Warn us,” Sam puts his hand on Dean’s shoulder. “Wait a second.”
“She’s a vamp!”
“Show us your teeth.”
“Fine,” you open your mouth and stick your tongue out. “See, I’m not a vamp and I see a dentist too if I find the time.”
“I don’t trust her, Sammy,” Dean dips his head to watch you step closer to eye the hunters with curiosity. “What do you want?”
“I never saw a hunter before,” you get a little braver and touch Dean’s chest. “Do all of you wear flannel? Is this magical? Maybe like armor.”
“It’s just warm and comfortable,” the hunter grumbles and slaps your hand away. “Don’t touch me. What are you doing here? Who are you?”
“I checked the building before you did,” you shrug. “I was looking for a place to sleep. Sadly, the abandoned building was already occupied by that vampire. Right when I wanted to go back to my car, I saw you walk toward the building.”
“A girl sleeping all alone at an abandoned building,” Dean furrows his brows. “Sounds fishy to me, Sammy. What do you think?”
Sam is rather curious. He looks you up and down until he sees a pendant dangle from your neck.
“Where did you get this?” He points at the necklace your grandmother left you, and the pendant in shape of an hour glass.
“My grandmother gave it to me before she died,” you touch the pendant, and it starts to turn black. “It’s special.”
“I saw this before, Dean,” Sam whispers now. “Do you remember the creature I was talking about?”
“Hmm…vague. I got wasted that night,” the hunter sighs dreamily. “Good times…”
“It’s her.”
Dean immediately stands a little straighter. He grits his teeth before jumping at you to tackle you to the ground.
“Hey! No touching!” you fight and squeak. “No! Don’t touch the pendant.”
You push Dean off you and crawl away. “Stay here, monster.”
“I’m not a monster,” you grumble. “I never hurt anyone.”
“I bet the werewolf and ghoul have a different opinion,” Dean grunts while trying to get a hold of you. “Stop wiggling. Jesus Sammy, help me.”
“That werewolf tried to feel me up, and the ghoul wanted to eat me,” you sass back while wiggling in Dean’s grip. He has his arms wrapped around your upper body and one leg hooked around legs to keep you immobile. “I stopped them to save my life. It’s called self-defense.”
“She’s not wrong, Dean,” Sam interjects. “Castiel said no people got killed that way. Only the werewolf and ghoul. Leave her be.”
“I don’t trust her! She just killed them!”
“I didn’t want to,” you mutter. “They left me no choice.”
“Dean.”
“Sammy, you can’t trust her.”
“I do not trust her, but we don’t have time for this. We should get rid of the body and get out of here,” Sam says. “Let Castiel check on her.”
“We won’t take that thing with us!” Dean protests but releases you. “What if she kills us?”
“I’m still here, you know,” huffing you cross your arms over your chest. “If you want to get rid of the dead vampire go ahead. I’ll be waiting outside.”
“Wait—what?” Dean cocks his head. “What do you mean with you are going to wait outside? Hey, I’m talking to you.” He grunts as you walk toward the exit. “Breath-taker, wait.”
“That’s not my name,” you coo while walking out of the building. “See ya, hunter boy…”
Tumblr media
“She’s leaning against my car, Sammy! And she got bags! BAGS!” Dean complains loudly as the hunters make their way toward Dean’s car. “Hey, get off my car! No one touches my BABY!”
“Baby?” you frown. “You’ve got a baby in your car? Sir, you shouldn’t leave a baby alone in a car while going on a hunt! Bad things could happen!”
“I don’t have a baby! You are leaning against my Baby!”
“Your b—what?” turning around you look at the black Impala. “Oh, you are calling your car Baby, I get it now.”
“Sonofabitch! I swear if you scratched my car I’ll end you. I don’t care what kind of monster you are.”
“I’m not a monster,” you snap at Dean. “I’m…uh—I don’t know. My grandmother called my abilities one of the lost powers. I never got to know what I am.” You sigh deeply as the hunters are staring at you. “What? I’m half-human, that much I know. Granny said my mom had something going on with a guy named Chronos.”
“C-hronos? Like the fucking god of time?” Dean chokes out. “Like the guy, we killed some years ago?”
“DUDE!” Sam rolls his eyes as Dean stares at you like you grew a second head. “Can you just not tell her we killed her dad like that?”
“I already knew a hunter killed my dad,” you pick your bags up from the ground. “He wasn’t a nice guy. Chronos absorbed the life-force of mortals…”
“Sammy, we can’t let Chrono's daughter run around town. She could wreak havoc,” Dean whispers. “Do you think we should bring her to the dungeon?”

Cool questions!
1: when playing, does the duo re-act stuff from movies? Like anakin vs obi wan or when Shrek is escaping from the dragon?
2: what’s one thing that one does shocks the other? Like Chris disliking bananas on pancakes? (Read that from an earlier post of yours)
3: for the superfamily, what’s one story you would write for them?
4: what’s one story you would write for Chris for his own book?
5: same as Jake?
Phew! Took me a good while but I finally was able to get to answering this one @pin-crusher2000 . Thanks for the ask
1) Oh most definitely Chris and Jake would reenact so many Star Wars duels, especially Obi Wan vs Anakin as they can float around which make doing those fancy acrobatics all the easier. Bonus points if they utilize those cardboard tubes and paint them to their lightsaber colors and Jake using his speaker’s speakers to play the music in the background
Otherwise, they certainly would also do the Dragon Escape but most tellingly if Meredith was watching them, reenact kaiju battles
2) Oh, Jake putting Milk Before Cereal which horrifies not just Chris but also Mar’i and Dick
Also, Chris not minding the dumb fun of the Bayformers films as much as Jake does
3) I think I can have Clark, Lois, Kara, Conner, Chris and Jon get blasted across space and time, across multiple time periods, alternate histories or possible futures of Metropolis during a big battle against the Time Trapper. For example, Lois winds up in Metropolis in 1889 during the height of the Gilded Age, her mini adventure being to expose a corrupt all powerful banker while Conner is sent into a Metropolis that’s controlled by Germany in a scenario should they had won the Second World War. The finale for the arc would see the Superman Family reunite at the End of Time itself coming face to face with the Trapper, but it won’t be just the family as many of their new friends they met all across their little adventures assemble to help as well.
4) Less of an entire story and more a one to two issue arc involving Nightwing Phantom taking on a cosmic being in a game of wits and intelligence rather than fisticuffs, all for the sake of saving reality itself. Think this being akin to say A 4th Dimension Imp like Mr Mxyzptlk or more overtly the Celestial Toymaker from Doctor Who. The real meat though is whatever thoughts and emotions are transpiring inside of Chris’ mind space as I place this after he has his reaffirmation from Dad Clark of him belonging to Earth in light of Zod’s invasion. He thinks about this planet he’s trying to truly accept as his home in spite of his origins and how much he must defend it from this entity while also trying to reaffirm himself that he belongs with his real family the Kents despite Zod’s words permeating his thinking space.
5) Here, I take some inspiration from the Batman TAS episode “The Underdwellers” in which like in that episode, Jake would be investigating some recent pickpocketing going on across the Bludhaven streets, all of them being committed by street urchins and runaways, a lot of them around his age range doing such under the tyrannical rule of a supposed caretaker who treats them rather horribly. After running into one of the urchins and rescuing them from an incoming subway train, Jake and the kid become friendly with each other to where the kid can lead our hero to the whereabouts of his comrades. Coming along for the ride is one of Jake’s rouges, long time best frenemy Cody Cunningham aka Lion Master, who also had caught wind of the pickpocketing so he comes along with Skybird in this investigation, forming something of an alliance between them. This proves handy as like the Sewer King in “The Underdwellers”, the villain has vicious sewer gators that serve him which Cody’s lions are able to fend off while Skybird persues and eventually captures the villain. With that, the orphans are finally freed from his reign, taken in by the Services and able to see the light outside once again. Throughout this story, we not only can get glimpses into Jake’s head as this in a way is deja vu with his history of failing to save street orphans from a supervillain once before but also once Lion Master enters the picture, the two can have talks about each other’s deal and how Lion Master in many ways just wants a place to call a home after surviving in the streets for so long and his sympathies for Jake’s situation in light of this case.
As the two were successful working together and Cody realizes he feels much better doing some actual good rather than remaining a small time thief with a gimmick, he finally takes up Jake’s offer to renounce his old life as a rouge, first turning himself in to the authorities and spending some time in Juvie to make up for his robberies (his lions we’re thankfully tamed enough for the authorities to keep in that meantime) then once he gets out of his sentence for good behavior, moves into the Grayson Apartment complex with a place of his own. A new fresh start for him, especially when his new landlord, Dick Grayson, drops by and hearing of his skills as a lion tamer offers him and his feline companions a job at Haly Circus.

LUXEMBOURG (Royal Blood Support):
First of all, how the hell did this happen??? Royal Blood??? Are you kidding me?? Not to geek out, but 'Figure It Out' was the first song I ever learnt on bass when I was 14 (good times :'] ) and their first and second album was the soundtrack to a lot of our teenage years. So it's safe to say this was a big deal for us. Ben was so kind to us and so welcoming (fun fact: he took the time to watch our whole set side stage at TRNSMT- how nice is that??). To all of you in the audience- thank you for being so wonderful and having a ball with us!
Royal Blood's show was absolutely outstanding (as you would expect). We really did have so much fun.

This one is so salty. I'm sorry. I don't know how to make it less salty.
3. Screenshot or description of the worst take you’ve seen on tumblr
bad take. SPEEDRUN!!!! (mostly) Griffith addition.
1- "Gennon is the victim and not Griffith in their encounter. Griffith is cruel for killing him." I get that you don't like Griffith, that's fine. You are saying the pedophile who took advantage of him when he was 12-14 is in the right though?? Also when he killed him the guy was actively trying to kidnap him to be a sex slave.
2- It is "disrespectful to Miura" to ship griffguts. Miura has expressed interest in queer themes and basically said Griffith is gay before. I don't think the man was a pearl clutcher.
3- "Guts should have just killed Griffith when he was disabled." Guts would NOT have done that.
4- Age gap discourse. All the main adult characters are supposed to be roughly the same age. I have no interest in debating if adults fighting the horrors are allowed to have 3 year age gaps lol.
5. "Griffith is Jeff Bezos" ?? Ah yes free education and housing. What Jeff is commonly known for. Not that I love calling him a communist either. I could write a lot on this but. Eh.
19. You’re mad/ashamed/horrified you actually kind of like...
WELL. I am pretty damn shameless on here. A lot of people don't like my ships and thats fine. Best to block me though.
I'm not mad exactly but I do think it is surprising I ship Judau/Casca a bit! Normally dislike that kind of ship but I think there's a lot of room for it to be done in a compelling way. The way his insecurities play out is super realistic and interesting to me. I do think he seriously puts Casca above himself and loves her for who she is not who he wants her to be. Also, I just want nice things for them both. ^^
24. topic that brings up the most rancid discourse?
Casca. Literally anything about Casca. You can be like "Wouldn't it be fun to draw an apostle casca" and people will act like you committed a real actual murder. Never mind if you have some criticism of the eclipse rape or Elaine.
I STILL get asks. btw- if you make sock puppets to harass people for being "too sensitive about rape" that makes you look like a creep fullstop.
Also anything with Griffith but that's a given.
25. Common fandom complaint you are sick of hearing.
Hmmm... anytime anyone has an even mild critique of berserk everyone complains you are literally "spitting on a dead man's grave." It is rare fans complain about the manga itself.
Also rare they complain about Miura. Berserk fans would rather send death threats to fans posting interviews than believe their made-up image of him is wrong.
for the record, I obviously love berserk and think very highly of Miura in a lot of ways. I get why people are defensive of it but phew. Berserk fandom is a little too defensive!
thanks for the questions!

Tumblr media
Going through a breakup while you were already at your lowest is possibly the most painful thing someone could ever go through in their life. Semi, your boyfriend, now ex-boyfriend, had wanted to break up out of the blue.
Your mind was a mess, and it’s been hours since you’ve last gotten out of bed. Saturday night was spent with tears instead of the usual fun other people around your age are probably having right now.
A notification popped up on your screen while you had your face buried in between your knees. The bright light from your phone lights up in the pitched black bedroom. You lifted your head as your hand ruffled against the comforter to look for your phone.
The lock screen photo of you and Semi during his volleyball team victory came into your view as soon as you lifted your phone. A deep sigh escaped your mouth when you realised you haven’t changed your lock screen yet, even though the relationship ended this morning.
Terushima Yuuji sent you a message reminding you of the party he’s hosting at the moment. Ever since you moved to another neighbourhood last week, he’s feeling pretty lonely on his own. You’re his only friend when he’s at home. Being an only child can be exhausting too.
You and Terushima are childhood friends. His house was just next to you, and most of your free time is spent together. Even though he’s a year younger than you, both of you are incredibly close that other people thought both of you are secretly dating. The both of you always played together since you were kids because both of you also happened to be an only child in your respective family.
Terushima has been nothing but a best friend to you. Nothing more than a best friend since kindergarten. He’s like a little brother. His witty and playful behaviour makes you feel comfortable every time you are with him.
Both of you have one thing in common. Growing up with a single parent makes both of you realise that your friendship profoundly relies on each other’s company. The absence of a father figure in your life helped you realise the emotional attachment to your boyfriend. It’s always difficult to let go of Semi when both of you are still together.
You and Semi have always been in an ‘on’ and ‘off’ relationship. Most of the time, Semi will always ask for a break-up because he needs to focus on his volleyball and studies simultaneously. Committing to a relationship doesn’t spare him any time, he said.
Letting out a deep sigh, you finally agreed to come over to the party Terushima was hosting. He’s a party people , and you were sure there’ll be many people over his house soon. You were sure his mother was away. Hence the party he was inviting you to.
Rummaging through your closet, you found a short dress you rarely wear before. After taking a shower and putting on some decent-looking makeup over your swollen face, you head off to Terushima’s, which only takes 10 minutes from your neighbourhood.
When the taxi dropped you off in front of Terushima’s house, you could already see the crowds of people in his house. This isn’t just a party anymore. It almost felt like an official event that gathered over two hundred people.
You took a deep breath before walking on his driveway. Many eyes were on you as soon as you made your appearance. There were some familiar faces you recognised when you were in Johzenji. Smiling at them, they politely informed you that Terushima was playing cards with his friends in the living room.
Coming back here brought a lot of memories from your childhood. The familiar house is like your second home because it’s where you spent most of your time when you and Terushima were still kids. You could still replay the memories of playing around his house and your house next to his. Which is now left vacant.
Your high heels clicked on the concrete pathway, drawing the others’ guests attention to you, especially the hungry males. Their attention was the last thing you wanted for today. It’s devastating to be dealing with a guy, especially after a breakup.
Or… it’s just the thing that you probably needed tonight.
You made your way in the sea of people trying to find Terushima. Maybe he’s occupied with something else, or rather someone else at the moment. Knowing him, it’s probably the latter. Must be easy to be him since he has learned to not commit himself in a serious relationship. He knows he couldn’t do it so he embraces himself from loving too much.
The said person, Terushima, was spotted sitting on the couch, throwing cards on the coffee table. The guys circling him cheered in excitement with a booming laughter. Perhaps, he had won the round. The boy sitting next to Terushima nudged his elbow, pointing his finger at you. “Terushima. She’s here. Hi!” the brunette waved his hand at you.
He’s Terushima’s closest friend at school. A decent guy to match Terushima’s crazy energy. You waved your hand at him back, grabbing Terushima’s attention. And when he found you standing there, he left his friends for a while. “Hey! You’re finally here! Thought you wouldn’t come,” he grinned, leading you to the couch where he was sitting.
Your heels dragged you across the living room, people surrounding the area giving space for you to pass through them. Terushima gave you his seat and the man opted to sit on the armrest instead. There was a momentary silence between both of you before you opened your mouth to speak.
“Yuuji is going to hate this,” you murmured under your breath. Slowly, you lifted your chin to look at Terushima beside you. You tried to arrange the words in your mind but your brain is all scattered with strong emotions.
“Please don’t cry in front of these people,” you begged.
Terushima furrowed his eyebrows seeing your unreadable expression. You looked like you were mad but also annoyed at the same time. Which one is it? Being your best friend for over 5 years has brought him nowhere in reading your facial expressions. It is always difficult to decipher your emotions.
“You good, girl?” He asked, leaning himself closer to you so he could hear you over the loud music. The neighbours will probably hate him for it. As long as no cops get involved, he is good with receiving complaints.
Terushima received no comments from you. So he shook your shoulders and you immediately looked up at him again with teary eyes. “Did something happen? What’s wrong?” His voice filled with concern seeing your glossy eyes.
He assumed it has something to do with your relationship. Because you always cry because of two things. It’s either about your mother or your boyfriend. You easily break because of these two things. He can count the times you have cried in front of him because of these two people you love in your life.
Is it your mother? Or did your boyfriend make you cry again? If it’s the latter, he might be speechless again.
You inhaled a deep breath, both of your hands clutching on the hem of your dress. And then you released a shaky breath. A long one. “I just broke up with Semi. Again.” You could hear the audible sigh that came out of Terushima’s mouth.
The man displeasedly pushed his hair back, hands gripping your shoulders firmly, in hope it would calm you down. “For god’s sake, Y/N! How many times do I have to tell you to stop going back to him? He’s no good for you. You should know that by now!” Terushima snapped, earning a few stares from people around you.
As worse as it sounds, Terushima made sure to not be too hard on you at times like this. You are in a fragile state and making you cry is the last thing he wants to do. He has watched you living in your darkest times all because of your relationship. Support is what you need, especially from a close friend. But, Terushima is not exactly an idiot. He knows you deserve to get out of that toxic relationship.
Telling you “He is no good for you!” a thousand times does not make a change at all. Why bother trying? Terushima is tired of saying the same thing every single time you come crying to him.
“Please! Just listen to me once,” Terushima carefully patted your head as you cried in his lap. His close friends saw that both of you needed some personal space so he ushered the others out of the living room. Terushima gave him a quick thumbs up, signifying a personal ‘Thank you’ for the gesture.
You sobbed again. “You know how much I love him, right? No matter what happens, I’ll go back to him. You know that, right?”
Terushima let out another sigh. He is a tiny bit disappointed in you for sticking with Semi even though he treats you like shit sometimes. Terushima knows, as much as he wants to blame Semi, he’s been a good boyfriend to you too. You must have been blinded by love.
“You must forget him. No matter what. I have this if you want,” Terushima said and took out something from his jeans pocket. It was a roll of blunt. Your eyes lighted up but still weren’t interested in that.
“Shit, Yuuji. You know I don’t do that anymore. Give me something lighter than that. No, forget that. I just needed to drink!” With a heavy heart, you turned down his offer. You weren’t sure if you wanted to lose yourself that night on second thought. Who in the right mind would refuse a free blunt? Unfortunately, you did.
Terushima smirked. He knew you doubted yourself for a moment. As if you could resist a free blunt. This is the first time he ever heard you turning down his offer. He’s more than aware that you wanted to stay sober. Who knows what stupid stunt you’d pull by the end of the night? “Okay, fine. You can go grab your drink outside. You know where. I need to.. brb!”
You have never seen Terushima rush like he did just now. He must be off doing something risky as you saw another woman making eye contact with him. Terushima just gave you a knowing heads up and you instinctively rolled your eyes. You scoffed at him, “You lucky little bastard.”
Right after Yuuji left, you made your way outside where the drinks were. Surprisingly, there were a lot of new faces. Perhaps your best friend has made new acquaintances through volleyball. The same thing that distracted Semi from you. But you couldn’t blame volleyball because it existed way before you entered his life.
The red cups were all over the drinks’ bar. These people surely didn’t know how to self-service themselves at a party. Yuuji is going to wake up with a massive headache looking at all this mess tomorrow. You snickered at the thought just by imagining the pure terror on his face. After pouring yourself a drink, you isolated yourself from the rest of the guests.
Grabbing a cup of drink wasn’t enough. You decided it’s best if you’d taken the entire bottle with you and sat down alone. In which you did until several guys came up to you and bombarded you with flirty questions. You just played along with the guys, knowing too well you can play this game and never getting emotionally attached. Because you only have your eyes on Semi Eita and no one else.
A pair of arms wrapped around your waist from behind, catching you off guard. You looked at the man dressed in a leather jacket with a strong whiff of cologne. Yikes , you almost threw up smelling his strong cologne.
“Do you want to dance?” the guy asked, whispering in your ear. Good enough to send shivers down to your spine. “Sure,” you said with a flirtatious smile flashed on your face. At this point, you were sure you were too tipsy to turn down anything. His offer to dance with you seemed like a fairly good option to take Semi off your mind for a while. Maybe just one night won’t hurt.
The song lured you to dance with all of your might. The guy was good at dancing too, surprisingly, and so did you. The rest of the crowd were looking at how ridiculous you guys were grinding on each other. You were giggling, like a total drunkard. Meanwhile the guy was enjoying himself having a pretty woman grinding on his almost prominent bulge.
“Shit, not her, you dumbass!” you saw someone yanked the guy in front of you. Your vision was blurry, but you swore you saw Terushima pull the guy away from you. Without realising you were half-yelling, you asked “Yuuji, what the hell?!”
You almost crashed your whole weight on the floor but Terushima was quick to stabilise you. He ushered the guy away from you. “She’s off-limits, bro,” he said to the guy.
Terushima pulled you away from the crowd. His buttoned-up shirt was left undone, knowing he just got down from doing dirty. He stopped his movement and gripped your shoulders firmly, “No. not him, Y/N. He’s not the person you’re looking for to down to fuck tonight. No, no, I can’t let that happen!”
Your face turned sour. Even though you were tipsy, you understood what he was saying. If Yuuji says no, it means no. You don’t have to ask him further, but you were stubborn. “Why?!” you screamed out loud and started wailing.
Terushima was surprised to see you wailing, “Shit, Y/N. Are you really okay? You were never like this before!”
You continued to wail out loud, not caring how the crowd was looking at you. Some of them were looking at you with a lot of questions going on in their minds. If there is anyone who knows you personally, you have to say goodbye to your reputation.
Terushima had no choice but to bring you back inside to calm you down. He sat you on the couch. You almost passed out on his couch. Terushima sighed seeing your condition. Being a good friend he is, he stayed to look after you for a moment before he went back to his friends. But your stubborn self won’t stay still, so you went outside and grabbed another drink.
You chose to sit by the pool, gulping down the nth cup for the night, indulging yourself in sadness. Grabbing the phone in your hand, you checked your phone, and still… no responses from your ex. Letting out a loud groan, you scrunched the cup in your hand out of frustration.
Thinking your life couldn’t get any miserable, you thought maybe it’s best if you just go home and sleep the night away. The moment you got up from the poolside, your body stumbled into a guy. Landing your face first on his chest.
Slowly, you looked up to see that guy’s face. You were mesmerised by his beauty. His face is sculpted by God himself. He was good looking, has a toned body, and very stylish. He has a good fashion sense, you thought. The man was quite tipsy himself, but he made sure to help you from stumbling.
“I’m sorry. You okay?” the guy apologised. His voice was deep enough to soothe your chaotic mind. The pair of dark green eyes staring down into your clouded gaze. You grinned, hand pushing your hair back and stared at him.
“You’re so hot”, you mumbled with a raspy voice. It’s your drunk voice and lowkey, the guy was turned on by the sound of your voice. God, he was so attracted by your voice and your beauty. The same way you were mesmerised by his tanned skin and captivating eyes. He is the epitome of perfection and you stood by it.
“Let’s dance with me,” your hand played with the buttons of his shirt teasingly. The guy was flustered seeing your bold moves on him. Your arms were thrown over his shoulders, “Let’s dance, hm?” It was almost like you were seducing him.
He smirked and accepted your offer, instantly leading you to the dance floor. The song Boyfriend by Justin Bieber was playing in the background. You moved your body to the rhythm of the song, hands stilled on the stranger’s defined chest. Maybe he works out a lot.
The stranger’s warm touch made you comfortable in no time. Your consciousness was lost in his touch because his hands never left your hips for the whole time on the dance floor. You snuggled in the crook of his neck. Somehow, his scent reminded you of Semi. The thought of it made you giddy.
You left a kiss on the random stranger’s neck, causing him to groan softly in your ears. It was like a lullaby to your ears. So you found yourself wanting to hear more. Your lips trailed kisses on his neck and started sucking on it until it turned into purplish marks.
“You wanted to do this, hm? Pretty girl,” the guy whispered with his raspy voice. He pulled you closer to his chest. You chuckled seductively and nodded. You looked up at him again, “Let’s do this, baby.”
The man smirked seeing your cute flirty moves. Before he could say anything, you took his hand with you and dragged him to Terushima’s bedroom. It’s the only place that keeps condoms in the house. So, to Terushima’s bedroom, off you go. Both of you hurriedly went to Terushima’s bedroom upstairs.
Being so lost in lust with each other, you kicked the door open and locked the door immediately. For sure you didn’t want anyone to walk in on you guys having sex in your best friend’s bed. The man couldn’t hide the grin he had on his face seeing how worked up you had gotten.
He grabbed your jaw, cradling the sides of your face gently before kissing you like a starved man. You caught his lips and pushed him on Terushima’s bed. Both of you almost fell on the bed but the guy caught your body in his lap. He sat both of you on the edge of the bed before you pushed him on his back.
The guy’s kisses tried to take your sanity away because of how good it felt. His lips were so soft like cotton candy… and it tasted so sweet, just how you preferred it. You broke the kiss and the guy found his chance to leave another mark on your neck. Craning your neck, your eyes looked up at the ceiling and found that Terushima left the red led light switched on.
“Ah, screw you, Yuuji,” you mumbled under your breath, not expecting the guy would hear you.
The guy looked at you with a concerned look, “You know Terushima?”
You nodded dizzily. “He’s my friend. Forget about him,” you groaned before you continued kissing him.
He pulled you on the bed, flipping himself over so he could be on top of you. He left wild kisses and hickeys on your neck that you quite liked. You moaned in pleasure, only because his touch was driving you insane. Damn, this is better than anything , you thought. It’s been a while since you’ve been sexually active and it’s crazy that this guy was making you feel all sorts of things in one night.
Not a moment later, your dress was thrown on the floor, leaving nothing but high knee socks and lace lingerie on your body. After he undressed you, you took your time to undress him in return. Embarrassingly, you had to pause and take a sweet time to admire the drooling view of his abs and an obvious v-line.
“God, you are so sexy”, you mumbled cheekily. He scoffed and made his way down to your lower body without stalling his time. His touch was out of this world, you had to admit. It’s like you can never get enough of him and this thought is terrifying. You could get addicted.
“Shit, condoms!” you suddenly remembered. You know Terushima always keeps them in the nightstand drawer. Quickly, you opened the drawer and reached for it before tossing it at the guy. The guy caught the box with his hands perfectly.
“We’re drunk. Are you sure you will not regret this later?” the guy stopped to ask. His voice was full of concern.
You nodded while your hands travelled to the back of his neck. You brought his face closer to yours. “I will never regret anything”, you teased.
He made you feel so good. Most importantly, he made you forget about your shitty ex-boyfriend just like you wished. The man nodded before he caught your lips in between his lips again. You wrapped your legs around his torso and the rest of the night was history because you passed out.
You didn’t even realise you passed out on Yuuji’s bed after the little fun you guys had together. The man carefully covered your naked body with the comforter as he got up to dress himself again.
He left the room and closed the door behind him. The guy didn’t even realise Terushima saw him coming out of his room.
“Oh, Iwaizumi?” Terushima gasped when he saw the guy come out with his shirt left unbuttoned.
“Who were you with inside?” Terushima asked curiously. Well, he didn’t expect to see Iwaizumi coming into his room maybe because he was busy entertaining a girl in the bathroom. And, he didn’t see you anywhere that he almost thought you had gone home.
The man named Iwaizumi looked at Terushima with blurry visions. “I think it’s your friend inside. Don’t go inside. She’s naked and sleeping,” Iwaizumi groaned, leaning one side of his body on the wall to stabilise himself.
“Did you guys hook up?” Terushima chuckled in a playful manner. “ Screw you, Y/N. You scored yourself the best guy,” he thought.  
Iwaizumi couldn’t help but laugh at his words. By his reaction, Terushima knew you guys hooked up tonight.
“Can you get me that Shittykawa to take me home? I’m too fucked up to walk on my own,” Iwaizumi asked for his help. Terushima immediately agreed as he helped Iwaizumi to get Oikawa for him.
You woke up the next morning feeling sore in between your legs and a spinning head. You let out a deep groan as you stretched your body before noticing the mess you guys have created from the night before. You chuckled, “You will never learn your mistakes, Y/N.”
Not wanting to be late to go home, you picked your clothes on the floor and put them on. You got out of Terushima’s room while yawning to find him in the house. “Yuuji, where the hell are you?” Your voice echoed across the house from upstairs.
“Bitch, come downstairs. You need to sober up!” Terushima yelled back in his booming voice. He was in the kitchen with soups he bought just now to sober you up.
You lazily sat on the kitchen stool while Terushima served you hot soup to cure your hangover. Terushima didn’t say anything about last night because you didn’t look like you wanted to talk. So, he chose to not ask any questions.
And so, you forgot about the random guy you hooked up with that night and moved on with your life. With school starting, you had no time to reflect on your actions for the past week. You were worried about the new environment and new people. And now, here you were, standing in front of the new class at your new school, eyes widened at the familiar figure sitting at the back of the class.
“Fuck!” you cursed under your breath. “I’m sorry?” your homeroom teacher asked, mistaken that she didn’t hear you. It was the guy from your random one night stand at Yuuji’s party. “Shit, shit shit!” You cursed yourself mentally.
“No-nothing, Ma’am”, you apologised immediately.
One thing that you wish you couldn’t do in life is to completely remember everything, even when you are drunk. Because you are starting to regret your decision from that night.

The next story in the sentence prompt- “daydreaming about me?” is ready. This one was very fun to write. Hope you enjoy! ❤️
Friday Night at Jose’s
Dinner, drinks, and some flirting is the perfect way to end a long week.
Tumblr media
February 3, 2017
Mulder walked into Jose’s, the Mexican restaurant Scully had suggested for dinner, and he drew in a deep breath. His stomach growled as the aroma of fajitas and many spices caused his mouth to water.
He spotted her across the room, a large margarita on the table in front of her as she stared absentmindedly ahead of her. Grinning, he made his way to the table, his stomach growling once again.
“Hey,” he said as he walked up beside her and sat down. She jumped and he chuckled. “Sorry. Didn’t mean to scare you.”
“You didn’t. Just… startled me I suppose.”
“Daydreaming about me?” he teased and she rolled her eyes.
“It’s six thirty,” she said, pushing her margarita toward him, offering him a drink.
“And?” he asked, taking a long drink from the neon green straw. “Phew… did you ask for extra tequila?” He coughed, but took another sip before pushing it back to her, shaking his head. “Thanks. That’s all I need.”
“Such a lightweight,” she teased, taking a long drink as she stared at him and he shrugged with a smile.
“Did you order?”
“Just this. Thought I’d wait to see if you wanted to share something.” She twirled the straw in her drink and licked her lips. He tried not to stare, but she saw and raised her eyebrows.
“I’m not sharing a salad,” he said, knowing he had been caught and choosing not to bring attention to it. “Unless it includes steak and comes with tortillas.”
“So… like a taco or a burrito?” she asked with a roll of her eyes.
“Exactly,” he said and she laughed quietly before taking another drink.
“And no I wasn’t.”
“You weren’t what?” he asked. “Talking about salad?”
“No,” she said with a snort as she laughed again. “Well, that or what you asked earlier.”
“What did I ask earlier?” he asked, frowning at her in confusion.
“Aww… memory loss. That old age catching up to you?” she asked, biting her bottom lip as she tried not to smile.
“Shut up,” he said and she shrugged, her eyes closing briefly as she raised her eyebrows. Reaching for a menu on the table, he opened it and held it out, squinting before bringing it closer.
“Do you want to borrow my glasses?” she asked and he looked up, staring at her with narrowed eyes. “Mulder, I’m right here. Can you see me?”
“Shut up,” he said as he laughed and she grinned before taking another drink. He shook his head as he looked back at the menu.
“Fajita platter? Chips and guacamole? And a small Mexican salad?” he asked and he heard her hum in agreement. “You want another drink?”
“Not yet, but maybe in a bit.”
A waiter came by a couple of minutes later and took their order, smiling at Scully as she stirred her drink and smiled back, almost languidly.
Oh. She was definitely feeling buzzed.
“How’s your drink?”
“Really good,” she said, looking at him with the same smile.
“I can tell.”
“Hmm.”
“So,” he said, smiling at her as he leaned a little closer. A buzzed, or drunk, Scully was always fun to behold. “What was it you were saying earlier? That you weren’t talking about something?”
She stared at him, blinking her eyes slowly and then shaking her head.
“What?” she asked and he grinned.
“You said you weren’t doing or talking about something that I said earlier.”
“What?” she asked again and he shook his head solemnly.
“You’re having memory loss, aren’t you? It’s you, but you're projecting your own problems onto me.”
“No. You’re just speaking in riddles. You don’t make sense.”
“Hmm,” he hummed with a smile, watching her stir the straw around in her nearly empty glass.
“Oh, wait. I know now. I remember.”
“Let’s hear it.”
“When you arrived, you asked me if I was daydreaming about you.”
“Which you obviously were,” he said with a shrug and she snorted again, looking at him with slightly glassy eyes.
“No, I wasn’t. And even if I was, it’s nearly seven now.”
He frowned, but then he realized what she was saying and he smiled.
“And by your logic, it wouldn’t be daydreaming because it’s night time. Or evening,” he said and she snapped her fingers and pointed at him as he laughed again. “Well… it’s hard to argue with such sound logic.”
“Not to mention, I wasn’t thinking about you before you arrived.”
“Do they include steak knives with the silverware?” he asked, unrolling the napkin and sighing with disappointment. “I’ll have to ask them for one to let you do the job properly. Right in the heart. Here specifically.” He tapped his chest and she put her fingers to her mouth to hide her smile. “Make sure you get me right here when you physically wound me just as your words have done emotionally.”
“But then our meal would be interrupted. The cops would need to get involved. We’d have to make a statement… It’s just too much to deal with tonight.” She shrugged and as he smiled, his finger still on his chest.
“Well, just know that it was right here, should you want to revisit it later.”
“Yeah. It would actually be better to do it without numerous witnesses.”
He laughed as she looked around with a nod, scoping out the room. The waiter arrived with the salad and set it in the middle of the table. As he walked away, Scully pulled it toward her, sliding her margarita to Mulder.
“Another?” he asked.
“After the salad. That first one is doing the job quite nicely. You can finish it if you’d like.”
“Thanks,” he said. “Nothing like “second drink” margarita.”
She smiled at his Office reference and he finished the drink as she ate the salad, offering him a few bites, which he accepted happily, despite his previous protests of wanting one.
Their meal arrived not long after, along with another margarita and glasses of water . She licked her lips appreciatively as she took a sip, humming as she wiggled in her seat. He smiled as he watched her begin to build her fajita, knowing the exact order in which she would do it.
As the meal ended, he offered to take her home, seeing as how she was not in any fit condition to drive. She accepted, smiling at him as she stood to use the bathroom before they left. Watching her walk away, a little unsteady on her feet, he laughed quietly.
Driving to her apartment, a place he did not visit as regularly as he would have liked, their separation leaving some things in a gray area, she hummed along with the radio. Rolling her window down despite the chill in the air, she drew in a deep breath.
“I’m a little bit drunk,” she said, her words slurring a bit.
“Are you?” he teased with a chuckle. “I hadn’t noticed.”
“Liar. You notice everything.”
“Like the fact that you were daydreaming, or evening dreaming, about me?”
“Hmm,” she hummed, but offered no further comment and he grinned as he made a left toward her apartment.
He pulled up and parked in one of the empty visitor spots and looked over at her. Her eyes were closed and he would have thought she was asleep, but he knew by her breathing that she was awake.
“Do you want me to walk you in?” he asked and her eyes opened slowly.
“Naaaaah,” she drawled. “I’m good. Thanks for the ride.”
“Anytime.”
She sighed as she unbuckled her seatbelt and gathered her things. Glancing at him, she smiled and opened the door.
“Goodnight, Mulder,” she said and he nodded.
“Goodnight, Scully.”
“It’s Friday. Let’s stay out of trouble until Monday, yeah? Let me sleep in tomorrow?”
“Sure. I’ll see what I can do,” he said, smiling at her.
“Thanks. I appreciate it.” She squeezed his forearm and then got out of the car, shivering as she closed the door.
She walked in front of the car towards the stairs and then turned around, walking back to his side of the car.
“Yes?” he asked as he rolled the window down.
“Do you think that daydreams only apply to things you’ve not yet had? Like winning the lottery? Or a trip you’ve yet to take? Things you’ve not experienced, but may want to someday?”
“Only? Never would I think that’s the only type of daydream a person can or should have. A daydream represents something you want, wish you could have, or know you will have, but it’s not yet come to fruition. Daydreams are different from sleeping dreams as we are in control of them. Therefore, in my opinion, they hold more weight than a dream we have while sleeping. We are active participants during the day.”
“And not just with dreams, as that’s when we are active,” she said, her eyes closed and eyebrows raised.
“True,” he agreed with a smile, his eyes traveling across her face. Her mascara was smudged under one eye and he wished he could cup her face in his hands and smooth it away as he had done countless times in the past.
“I think you’re right,” she said, opening her eyes and focusing on him. “It’s good to have daydreams about what could be, even if you may have had it before.”
“Yeah,” he said quietly as they both stared at one another.
“Well, goodnight again,” she said, stepping back from the car and nodding as she scrunched her chin.
“And to you,” he replied.
“Behave,” she said.
“Let you sleep in. I got it,” he said with a small chuckle.
“Bye.”
“Bye, Scully.”
He watched her walk inside as he let out a deep breath, counting to sixty before he started the car and drove away.
“New message from Scully,” was heard through the speakers a minute later, his phone lighting up on its holder.
He grinned as he waited for it to be read, imagining her taking her shoes off by the door and stumbling to the couch, sitting down tiredly upon it with a sigh.
“It’s remotely plausible to consider that I may daydream about you from time to time.”
Laughing loudly, he slapped the steering wheel as he pulled up to a stoplight. He shook his head and laughed again, picturing her smile as she sent that message.
“Ahh, Scully,” he said, smiling as the light turned green and he continued on his way.
He knew by the time he got home, perhaps before he even drove too much further, she would be asleep on the couch, a blanket wrapped snugly around her.
“Message Scully,” he said.
“What do you want the message to say?”
“More than plausible,” he said, still smiling.
“It reads more than plausible. Send it to Scully?”
“Yes,” he said.
“Done.”
“Good,” he replied with a nod. “Good.”
He smiled nearly the entire drive home.

Febuwhump day 27 - survivor’s guilt
Hee heeee it’s a continuation to yesterday because continuations are fun (and nothing else I came up with was that great for today. I’m glad tomorrow is the 28th phew)
Thanks Tellie for helping with the ideas for both yesterday’s and today’s <3
Era is hyrule Warriors Link, and Sprite is ocarina of time/majora’s mask
Part 1
Courage of ages explanation
————————————————————
Era held Sprite tightly in his arms, the boy’s head resting silently on his forearm.
Sprite’s face suddenly scrunched up a bit, and Era tried to settle him more comfortably in his hold, eyes glued to the still-damp stain of red on his side.
Whatever Cloud’s Zelda had done seemed to have temporarily stemmed the bleeding, but Era couldn’t help but be fearful that it would suddenly reopen. She’d said she’d bought him some time, but how much time? What if the others took too long in their search for a fairy and Sprite—
The boy let out a breathy murmur, and Era sighed.
All he could do was wait, and hope.
He took his gaze off of Sprite for a moment, glancing up at the only other occupants of the room. Cloud and his Zelda were murmuring quietly to each other a little ways away, heads pressed together, and Era pointedly didn’t listen to their conversation. He could hear it a little, but he’d grant them their privacy.
Cloud deserved a moment alone with his wife, especially after nearly watching her bleed out.
A pang went through Era at the reminder of the fight, and he looked back down at Sprite, blood on his face stark against his pale skin. He’d seen Sprite run towards Zelda and had meant to follow after him, but he’d been swept into the fight, focused only on fighting off the yiga soldiers until he’d heard Sprite shriek.
He’d immediately dropped what he was doing and bolted to his side, horror striking him like a physical blow when he’d seen Sprite lying bleeding on the ground.
Era swallowed, holding Sprite a little closer to his chest.
He’d practically been stabbed, a huge slice ripping into his side that had left a gash in his tunic so big Era wasn’t sure even Kaleidoscope would be able to mend it. Sprite’s middle was covered in half drying blood, and he’d obviously been injured internally based on the blood at the corner of his mouth.
He’d been horribly injured, and even if they’d had a fairy in the first place Era would have made him rest for at least the next day, taking it easy with a wound that would doubtless scar.
And what injuries had Era himself sustained in the battle?
None.
He didn’t have a scratch on him and Sprite and Cloud’s Zelda has both almost died.
And Sprite still could.
But how was that different from any other part of Era’s life? He’d fought in almost countless battles, killed endless amounts of monsters and fought Ganondorf himself, and yet he still stood here, alive and on his own two feet. He’d watched so many men cut down over the years, dying in countless gruesome ways and horrible injuries that took longer to kill through infection or lack of supplies
And yet, he was still alive.
It didn’t matter where he was, what he was doing or who he fought alongside.
He always went on unscathed while the people closest to him suffered.
“Era..?”
The knight blinked out of his gruesome thoughts and looked down at the boy in his arms, watching as Sprite opened his eyes a fraction. A bit of relief hit him at the sight of him awake, and he conjured up a smile for him.
“Hey kiddo,” he said softly, running a hand through his hair. “How are you feeling?”
Sprite let out a quiet mumble in reply, then winced as he tried to shift himself around in Era’s arms.
“Easy, you’re not exactly healed yet,” Era warned, stopping him from rolling over. “The others are out looking for a fairy, take it slow until they come back, okay?”
Sprite sighed and stopped moving, looking quietly up at the stone ceiling instead
“...Zelda?” he whispered, and Era glanced back over at Cloud and his wife again. They were still talking in hushed voices, and Era felt just the smallest touch of jealousy as they leaned together and kissed, quickly looking away.
“Yeah, she’s doing fine. Thanks to you,” he said a bit chidingly, and Sprite smirked just a little.
“Good. Be stupid... if she wasn’...” he mumbled, then winced and put a hand to his side. “Ow.”
“Easy,” Era reminded him, and Sprite hummed in grumpy acknowledgment.
They stopped talking then, Sprite staring tiredly around the temple, Era taking the opportunity to look around as well.
It was an ancient place, that much was obvious based on the weathered bricks and vines that snuck up through cracks in the stones. A tree grew nearby where Era was seated, and as he gazed around, he blinked in surprise at the sight of what looked like the Master Sword itself mounted in a pedestal across the room.
Era filed the sight away to ask Cloud about later, and went back to watching the boy in his arms, who only looked more tired as the minutes went on.
“I think you can sleep if you want to,” Era said gently, watching as Sprite’s eyes drooped the longer he stayed awake. Sprite for once didn’t argue, a sure sign of how exhausted (and in pain) he was that he merely let his eyes slip closed.
“‘kay,” he murmured, then turned his head into Era’s chest with an exhausted sigh. “Thanks dad.”
Era felt a familiar warmth in his chest at the title, and pulled Sprite more securely into his arms, letting him nestle up to him.
“Get some rest kiddo,” he said softly, setting his scarf over him. “You’ve done enough today.”
And as Sprite slipped back to sleep, triumphant shouts of a found fairy sounded from outside the temple.

RECITING WITH YOU IN THIS GLOWING RED WORLD
Tumblr media
HIRAGA GENNAI CHARACTER CARD #1
The moment I finished reciting the given incantation, a dazzling white light flashed before me, and a boy dressed in white stepped out of it.
??? : I see... So I was spirited away... What a valuable experience...
The boy crossed his arms and took in his surroundings, nodding in curious satisfaction.
??? : So, you're the kind heroine who saved me, huh? What's your name?
AYUMI: I'm Ayumi.
??? : Okay, so you’re the priestess girl, so tell me about the familiar spirit.
The boy gazed across to me, eyes shining bright with an energizing curiosity.
...
...
HIRAGA GENNAI : Hmm, I see. That is quite interesting indeed. I'm Hiraga Gennai, a genius inventor!
HIRAGA GENNAI : It’s all thanks to you that I was saved. As a token of my appreciation, I'll give you a guided tour of my laboratory when next we’re there.
(So even at his age, he's already an established inventor with a laboratory... amazing...)
My own gaze remained firmly locked on Gennai's face, eyes full of surprise.
HIRAGA GENNAI : You… You were just thinking that I was far too young to be a successful inventor, right?
AYUMI : W-Wha-- No!
HIRAGA GENNAI : Don’t underestimate me, or I'll modify you.
(What does he mean he’ll modify me?!)
HIRAGA GENNAI : Well, well, perhaps I’ll swap the positions of your eyes and ears? Wouldn’t that be interesting?
AYUMI : I-I'm sorry, I was just a little surprised... I didn't mean to make fun of you…
HIRAGA GENNAI : ...That's good then we won’t have any issues.
(Phew, thankfully I won't be modified… Whatever that means…)
As I gazed at Gennai’s energized profile, still retaining every ounce of his youthful exuberance, I felt my heart flutter in my chest...

Thoughts On 2023 Favorites
TV Shows 1. Good Omens season 2: Oops, I'm obsessed again. You can make the argument that a second (and PHEW eventual third) season was unnecessary, but I disagree. It was nice to get a season that wasn't so breakneck in it's pacing. Everything slowed down a bit and focused in on Aziraphale and Crowley's shenanigans. Which, let's be honest, is what the audience wants. That being said, I liked everything else about it too. A cute/silly plot, fun new characters, and a devastatingly sad finale that left me distraught. I could not have asked for more really. (Except more kissing. Please tell me there will be more kissing.) 2. Lockwood and Co: A spooky premise that probably took a lot of effort to appear even semi-believable [as a tv show]. Yet, it was pulled off with flying colors. It was also perfectly atmospheric and charming, so of course netflix canceled it. I plan on reading the books.
Animation (TV & Films) 1. Murder Drones: 2023 was a good year for indie animation overall, and out of all of them Murder Drones was the show to win my entire heart. Perfect setup for horror and YA spoofing, but also well written enough that I enjoyed the character focus and progression as well. I'm psyched for the final two episodes set to release in the spring. 2. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse: If any movie of recent memory deserved a decent sequel it was this one, so I'm very happy it turned out as great as it did. One of the few comic-book films I bothered with in 2023. 3. Hilda season 3: Easily one of my all-time favorites from Netflix, so I'm beyond happy it has a great ending now. Gorgeous animation, a lovable main and support cast, and perfect chill vibes. Deserves a bluray release. 4. Elemental: Listen. Pixar's still got it this was so cute. You're forgiven for The Good Dinosaur Peter Sohn. 5. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem: So much fun tho. Love the current creative trend in cg films happening thanks to Into the Spider-verse. Also, the No Diggity scene was incredible. The movie has an A+ soundtrack. Anime (TV & Films) 1. Trigun Stampede: So relieved this turned out to be great, considering the original is a favorite of mine. Not a easy feat in the age awful, cash-grab reboots. 2. The Boy And The Heron: Honestly? My favorite Miyazaki film since Howl's Moving Castle. Genuinely moving and left me misty-eyed. 3. Demon Slayer: Swordsmith Village Arc: This show is so pretty. Still surprised how well the series portrays it’s simple, compelling cast. Like it’s an effortless sort of thing (it’s not). 4. Suzume: Makoto Shinkai's last three movies just make me happy okay. Happy and hopeful. The best comfort movies ever. Video Games I have a steam deck now so you'd think I played a bunch of video games last year but, no. I didn't get heavily into much last year. Played some Hades though? Live Films || Note: I watched so many great classic horror movies this year that I had never given a proper watch. I would like to continue that this year!! 1. Talk to Me: Please make more horror movies Danny and Michael Philippou. This one was wild. 2. Dark City: The fact that The Matrix got four movies and this didn't get any sequels is a fucking tragedy. 3. Coherence: Love me a simple, creepy sci-fi movie with an interesting premise. Apparently, quite a lot of the film is improvised as well? That blew my mind. 4. Greener Grass: More films that just feel like one big Adult Swim skit please. This style of script is hysterical to me. 5. Caveat: This goes on my fave list simply for scaring the shit out of me lmao. Movies walk a fine line, when the intention is to make you uncomfortable for long periods of time. They risk being irritating instead of entertaining. Caveat had me shrieking at my tv (in a delighted sort of way).
Honorable Mentions 1. Lore Olympus 2. Nier Automata anime 3. Asteroid City + Wes Anderson's new short films 4. OPLA
Things I'm Looking Forward to in 2024 1. Dune 2 2. Second season of Severance hopefully! 3. Madoka Magica Movie 4: Walpurgisnacht: Rising?? Is it finally happening or what? 4. New Magnus Archives
Some Creative & General Goals for 2024 I feel like I was drawing a lot more in 2023! Still nothing worth posting online, but I'm making some progress I think (slowly but surely). Goals: make more art for my siblings when they request it, finish some digital art that I started, and finish the diorama piece I planned out. On the general goals I'd like to travel more! Particularly, I'd like to visit some national parks.

彡✎ Unpacking Politics, One Meme at a Time
(Do memes (as it is popular in Malaysian politics) provide a useful way of understanding politics?)
Politics: the only arena where you'll find more plot twists, backstabbing, and unexpected surprises than a season finale of your favorite TV show.
Tumblr media
We get it – politics can sometimes feel like a maze of jargon and complex issues. However, with the rise of meme culture and its integration into politics, could memes be used to further understand politics and its complexity? (probably).
Behind the Laughs
Before answering the main question, let me hit y'all with some nerd facts about how memes came about. A meme is a cultural informational unit that spreads by imitation. The term, which comes from the Greek word mimema (meaning "imitated"), was coined by a British biologist named Richard Dawkins in 1976 from his work titled "The Selfish Gene" (Rogers 2023). Memes come in a variety of format that ranges from videos to still images.
From LOL to Legislation
In today's day and age of the Internet, memes can be found on all sorts of social media platforms that we use on a daily basis. Whether it be viral videos or yet another funny cat or dog picture like the doge meme. Nowadays, there seems to be an ongoing trend of memes being used in politics. I'm not particularly sure how it is being used, but most of the memes I see about politics are just to poke fun at a specific person or political party.
Now for the million-dollar (or in this case ringgit) question, how did memes suddenly become a thing in the political world? The earliest instance of memes and politics I could find is from the year 2000 during a presidential debate in the United States about then-candidate George W. Bush where he mispronounced the word "internet" as "internets." Four years later, he made the same mistake during a debate with John Kerry when he said, "I hear here’s rumors on the, uh, internets that we’re going to have a draft". After the whole conundrum, the response from netizens was eventful. Thus, making Bush one of the first few political internet memes (Klein 2019).
Tumblr media
It seems that after George W. Bush became a trending meme in politics in the United States, I guess you could say he sort of paved the way for birthing memes in politics as we know it today. As far as I know, there are a lot of memes about our politics here in Malaysia that I've come across and it gets pretty entertaining considering how our politics here are.
Meme-laysia
As someone that currently lives in Malaysia, I would say that there are a handful of memes that circulates throughout social media when it is nearing elections or when someone that is part of a political party (or one of our ministers) screws up yet again. The political scene here is quite eventful, to say the least, but that does not mean we cannot laugh about it.
One of the most popular political memes in Malaysia is during 2021 when our then Prime Minister of Malaysia, Muhyiddin Yassin suddenly resigned from his position after only being the Prime Minister for one-and-a-half years. As good of a plot twist as this is, Malaysians took to social media to express their confusion and reaction to this news (Lee 2021).
Here is one of the example:
Tumblr media
Upon resigning as Prime Minister, Muhyiddin Yassin will assume the role of interim Prime Minister until a new leader, who commands the majority, is identified (Lee 2021).
Humor and Power
Phew. We're finally getting to the most anticipated part. Do memes provide a useful way of understanding politics? My answer to that is, definitely. Based on research conducted by Kasirye (2019), it is found that political memes do have an effect on providing information about politics.
The study also reveals that political parties employ memes to promote, oppose, and criticize various political issues among the populace. Since the majority of messages are created by political parties and actors to further their objectives, memes are spread through social media to reach the targeted political groups.
Due to memes having a visual nature and their ability to grab people's attention, memes are a good foundation to start understanding politics. Thus, memes are a great method for political engagement that appeals to people's cognitive and extrasensory faculties in order to interact with them and shape their opinions. Humor and sarcasm, on the other hand, are used as persuasive strategies in this awareness-raising technique (Kasirye 2019, p. 51).
Tumblr media
Final Thoughts and Prayers
Overall, I do think that memes play a part in politics in terms of understanding what is going on or providing useful information. Memes are funny and people like memes due to the fact that they can be on different social media platforms, whether it be in video or picture format.

The Government in Crimpphire-verse Part 1- probably
Phew okay!!
Apologies for not getting any HCs out in the last few days- I've been in a hyperfocus mode again, wanting to hear my fics be podfics so I can listen when I'm in bed
for some reason, I get inspired to write more when I hear my stories at night when I'm trying to sleep and wanna think about my things hehe
I have been thinking what else to make into personal podfics, and it's def making me wanna write more. So there may be an AU story coming out in a bit who knows~
hope you enjoy this headcanon!!
I thought I would give my thoughts on how the Government treats Robots, Robot Masters and Reploids alike.
NEW CHAPTER ON AO3!
At first they’re reluctant, but chill when it comes to the Robot Masters first being made. But after they were first stolen and reprogrammed, it becomes a surfaced concern, but they let it slide, since Wily has been considered a mad scientist when being expelled from the University of Robotics. Though, that’s another story for another day.
I’ll put it briefly that they aren’t too kind to Robotics after what happened in the Robot Master Era, which I will not spoil for the sake of the fic being made behind the scenes~.
And you know that that means: they especially don’t take too kindly to Zero, even after he turned good boy scout from amnesia and is given a second chance, thanks to Dr Cain.
In the Robot Master Era, they were definitely more forgiving, as previously mentioned. But as time passed, especially towards the end of that era and into an era they called “Robotics Ban” before it was finally lifted, it wasn’t a fun time. It took many Roboticists out of work and a lot of Robot Masters left, especially in the Wanderers were either left to rot, killed on sight, or tried to keep on living as long as they could while going into hiding with other humans who still accepted them.
A lot of them are the Wanderers, of course, but a lot had to live without their founder and leader, Blues. Who had to be changed and converted into an AI along with Night Man, and Bass following afterward. That’ll be another post/chapter for another day.
But because of this “Robotics Ban” a lot of that had happened, and Mega City was in its dark ages.
Yeah- if you couldn’t tell, from the Classic Series, it’s going to be dark from the prequel and gets darker as the series progresses. Which is what I wanted, but I could never figure out how I was going to develop that. Despite the fact I wanted it to be about X and Zero’s development as close best friends and it turning into a romantic relationship, yeah there’s going to be a dark story surrounding the main plot, so it’s gonna be a ride.
HOOOO BOY I don’t even know if I, myself, am ready for this, but I’m gonna try cuz it’s been SO long since I wrote a dark story with a Romantic ship being the main focus.
Point is, the Government was being harsh in the Reploid era. After X was found, they were furious once they found out Cain was responsible for finding anything like him, and Cain has fought for X’s rights. Which will also be another post for another day.
But after all that, the Government is still a harsh mistress to this day, and even supporting the Emerald Spears in this era. WHICH ARE ALSO IN THIS AU I FORGOT TO MENTION LMAO.
I liked them that much from the Archie Comics that I decided I wanted to add them.
ANYWAY HAHA
That’s basically it until the fics progress and I’ll post more about it.

Took my nieces to a local comic-con today and we had so much fun! There were a ton of people dressed up (it was open access in a shopping centre so they were mingling most amusingly with regular customers just down the High St to pick up a prescription or browse the racks at TK Maxx), displays of movie props, facepainting and caricature sketch booths - more than I expected, honestly! Last year the same event was basically a particularly busy version of the monthly street market we always have.
It was so nice to be able to treat my nieces as well - I don't have a lot of money usually, but I saved a little this month to make sure they could go home with some stickers, some badges, a little A5 art print here, a cute shimmery 3d printed dragon there. They were so good about taking their time to visit each stall a couple of times before deciding what they wanted, chatting politely to the vendors about their work, and the vendors were so nice in return!
The 7 year old spent her last £2 on a postcard/sticker pack lucky dip and won a Pennywise pack which was waaaay outside of her age range. I was a little worried I'd have to deny her it, take it myself, and let her buy something else, but the lady was so kind to see my reaction and immediately just slide it away and tell my niece she'd won the best prize! Any two stickers and a postcard of her choice. Phew! She still picked a spooky postcard and a Wednesday Addams/Thing sticker combo, but at least it was a level of creepy she could handle haha.

yknow what since im too tired 2 DRAW them but too hyped up 2 NOT do smth involving it heres a buncha random tidbits abt my ( very work in progress … ) tmnt iteration , tmnt : inheritance !! :3
the main premise is this : splinter dies , and with leo being the oldest of the turtles ( 14 y/o at the time ), he leaves her with the responsibility of taking care of her siblings on her own and becoming their sensei instead of him. i heart making characters suffer at a young age <3 ( im evilll )
it takes place currently in the dreadful year of 2020 , but i might change that later. either way , the ages would still b the same ! leo is 19, mikey & donnie r 16 ( twinsies ), and raph is 14 ( the idea of this typically big grumpy hotheaded dude being the youngest has always been a funny idea 2 me lol ), casey is 16 and april is 18
heres sum lgbt stuff 4 ya — leo ( aka lea ): she/her , transgirl , lesbian. donnie : they/them , intersex bigender ( demiboy/demigirl ), omnisexual ace. mikey : literally just read my bio lol. raph : he/it/fang/rawr , feralgender boy , aro. casey : he/they , transmasc , queer. april : it/its/april/aprils , astrogender , unlabeled. karai : she/they , butchgender , lesbian. both splinter ( male ) and shredder ( female ) r cis and bisexual. phew ! dats a lotta queers
casey gets introduced b4 april here. im still tryna figure out exactly how he finds these weirdos .. hes always gunna b a loser vigilante in my eyes
april’s role is EXTREMELY different from normal. i stole the awsom idea 2012 had with april being half kraang and it spiraled from there .. april’s been living with the kraang its entire life. i havent decided on if the turtles meet april in the obligatory space arc OR right after the kraang show up on earth , but either way they talk sum sense into it , leading 2 april abandoning the kraang n living with the turtles
donnie n april r bffs 4eva !!! shortly after it befriended the turtles , april took a great interest in learning abt earth n stuff so donnie immediately jumped on the opportunity 2 info dump 2 sumbody thats actually interested in what they have 2 say. april writes down everything donnie says during info dumps. it also does this with pretyy much evry1 else bc april wants 2 get along with them better by learning things they like !!! <3
yea shredder’s a girl , I LOVE WOMEN 💥💥💥💥 ( explosion sfx )
( TW TRANSPHOBIA ) fun fact while splinter was alive he nevr once called lea by her preferred name , prns , etc. it’s complicated bc splinter and lea had a rlly good relationship otherwise , but the constant misgendering always left a bad taste in her mouth. splinter’s death meant she would nevr see her father change his mind 2 accept her as his daughter , evr. all those years of hoping and waiting were 4 nothing ! yippee !!!!
dw im working in jonatello sumwhere cmon yknow me i would nevr miss out on an opportunity 2 shove them into evrything
same thing with aprileo i need more of them pretyy please
