Little Red Riding Hood, The Big Bad Wolf, & The Silver Bullet
Aka I did an Oscar as The Little Prince analysis and now I wanna do one for Ruby's allusion in honour of the 10th Anniversary.
I know most if not all of us are familiar, but I'm still going to start with a summary.
Little Red is a story about a young girl in a red cloak who is sent into the woods at her mother's behest to bring baked goods to her sick grandmother. There, she meets a malicious wolf that asks her many questions, to which she answers all truthfully and without hesitation. The wolf takes this information and uses it to beat the girl to her destination where he then swallows her grandma whole and disguises himself in the woman's clothes. There he waits for the child to arrive and come closer so he can swallow her up too.
There are actually two popular versions of this story with different endings that we often look back to.
In Perrault's story, there is no happy ending. They're both eaten up, the wolf is content. The end.
But in the Grimm version, there is an additional character... the Huntsman (aka the woodsman). He hears the wolf snoring after its meal and ends up cutting the beast open & saving the victims. Then, with the help of Little Red Riding Hood, he kills the wolf before it can do anymore harm.
All in all, it's a story about childhood innocence being lost, learning not to trust strangers, and being mindful to always follow the correct path. For if you stray too far, you may lose track of time, invite unwanted danger, or find yourself lost.
In RWBY, we have some very clear allusions here since it's the basis for so much of the show as a whole:
Little Red - Ruby Rose
The Mother - Summer Rose
The Grandmother - Maria
The Hunstman/Woodsman - All Three of Them
The Wolf - Salem and her Grimm (but ESPECIALLY The Hound)
They're all pretty self explanatory.
Ruby has the red cloak, her og trailer is clearly inspired by the tale, she loves baked goods, she's referred to as "Red" and "Little Red" by Torchwick & Cinder. She's also a huntress. And, by and large, her entire arc is about losing that childhood innocence and the view that life "is like a fairytale" as well as struggling with what the "right path" to follow is.
Summer is the mother (baker of cookies) and also the huntsman (slayer of giant monsters). The battle axe being her weapon choice alludes well to the alternate name, Woodsman, as well.
While Maria as the grandmother makes the most sense. Another silver eyed huntress that becomes a mentor figure for Ruby.
And while Salem, her war, & the Grimm (that are all emblematic of that loss of innocence) can absolutely symbolize the wolf... There's a reason why I want to focus on The Hound.
All three previous characters are connected by a very specific common denominator: Silver Eyes.
And the hound is no different.
Just another huntsman... but one devoured by the malice of a canine. And, if Ruby's theory is right, that's the same fate that Summer met as well.
And if you think about Silver Eyes specifically... What is one of the most famous lines from the original fairytale?
"My, what big eyes you have grandmother."
"The better to see you with, my dear."
Which, when applied to the grimmification of SEWs, is HAUNTING.
Terrifying when you remember "Woah... you have silver eyes". Also thanks to Behind The Scenes content, that Ruby's hair design was always meant to "be a bit wolf-y". And that since Volume 4, Salem has been interested in capturing Ruby alive... I am WORRIED ABOUT HER.
Some interesting things about silver though that ARE worth noting...
1. "In folklore, a bullet cast from silver is often one of the few weapons that are effective against a werewolf or witch."
2. "The term silver bullet is also a metaphor for a simple, seemingly magical, solution to a difficult problem."
3. "In the Brothers Grimm fairy-tale of The Two Brothers, a bullet-proof witch is shot down by silver buttons, fired from a gun."
The lyric "Yeah I'm a girl but I'm also a gun" from Triumph really tells us point blank (lol) why Ruby is so important to this war against Salem, huh.
I'm gonna end this meta on a fun little easter egg; a hidden fifth character allusion to the original Red Riding Hood fairytale: The Woods.
Now I know what you're thinking, the woods aren't a person, they're a location. But they're INCREDIBLY important to the story.
Overall, the woods are the world outside of the cabin that Little Red grows up in. Whenever she travels beyond it, she's liable to meet all sorts of horrible tragedies and monsters. But I want to talk again specifically about The Hound & just where Ruby first meets them: Atlas.
Or, more specifically, Ironwood's kingdom.
For those unfamiliar, while Jimmy's main allusion is the Tin Man from Oz, his last name gives us a hint to another subtle allusion: Járnviðr. Aka the Iron Wood of Midgard in Norse Mythology (a mythos that's been alluded to a lot in RWBY).
Whiiich if you look at a stanza (40) in the infamous Völuspá, a historic poem which is chalk full of Norse myths, you get the following passage:
In the east sat an old woman in Iron-wood
and nurtured there offspring of Fenrir
a certain one of them in monstrous form
will be the snatcher of the moon
A poem that talks all about the Biggest Baddest Wolf of the Norse pantheon, Fenrir... who is the offspring of a powerful Witch...
and is destined to eat the moon...
All within the Iron Wood, a character Ruby spends an entire volume contemplating on whether or not she can trust...
And the moment she does finally tell Ironwood the truth? The secrets she was keeping? The woods become unsafe, the witch and the wolf appear, and everything else falls apart. Resulting her and her team lost and very far from home.
Say what you want about analyses like these but CRWBY knows what they're doing, okay?

NSFW - Alphabet - Faust
warning : +18, minors don't interact, it's getting steamy under the cut
masterlist
Disclaimer : I don't want to glorify anything, it's about the actors who play a role, not the real events.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A = Aftercare (how they are after sex).
°He is one of the best aftercare providers in the whole circle and among his friends (which is not too difficult when you know how the whole band defines affection and devotion and thinks of healthy relationships). Since the first time you slept together, he has pulled you close to him after sex, his hands tracing little circles over your skin, and even if he is quiet, you will know that he is grateful.
°Even after short laps due to lack of time, when he or you have to leave, he will at least hug you and give you a kiss so you won't forget him.
°,,You were amazing...as always".
══════════════════════
B = Bodypart (his favourite part of you and them)
°The other thing he loves is his hands, which he knows you love too, not least because he is more than skilled with them and knows what to do, and you just seem so fragile in his eyes in his hands and under him. The other thing he loved about himself is his height. He's taller than you, and that fact that you don't just have to look up at him slightly to look at him, but he just towers over you in everything he does, he loves that. Like the big bad wolf and the little red riding hood not knowing what's happening to them.
°He loves your hair whether you cut it short or long, even if he thinks long is best. Not only does he like to run his fingers through the soft strands and twist them back and forth between his fingers. He likes to grab you tighter, forcing you into a deep kiss or onto your knees. When he takes you from behind and pulls you against him like this. He just loves to control you like that.
══════════════════════
C= Cum (anything to do with cum)
°He just loves to cum all over you no matter where. On your belly, ass, back, legs, arms, hands or face he doesn't care where. The main thing is on you.
°He finds it more than arousing to watch the white sticky liquid spreading down your body, smearing it with his fingers just to try it himself and to see your fascinated and excited look.
°,,You look arousing".
══════════════════════
D = Dirty Secret (self-explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
°An open secret that he wants to do sometime, no matter what the circumstances. He wants to kill someone together with you, to be more precise, he wants to see you kill someone, splattered with the victim's blood, the knife in your hand. Still the knife in your hand, the blood warm and sticky on your naked body so that he can still take you on the spot.
°A fantasy or rather something in him that he hides is his side that wants to give itself to you. He loves to dominate you, to be the active part of the sex and just take control. But in him, this idea that you touch him tenderly, caress his cheek, treat him almost maternally and tell him how good he is. How good he is for you and how beautiful he looks under you. In short, to be dominated by you and to be submissive is something he wants to do but at the same time clashes with his gaze. That's not dark, is it?
══════════════════════
E = Experience (how experienced are they? Do they know what they're doing?)
°He has so much experience that he's not completely inexperienced when it comes to your first time together.
°But even though he doesn't have the full experience, he is incredibly active in learning. He will ask and observe, he just wants to be perfect for you. Share your experience with yours. Especially going from a rather cautious lover to an active, dominating one is a goal he has set for himself since the beginning.
°,,l see what I've achieved...your pretty eyes are all suffused with lust".
══════════════════════
F = Favourite position (without saying you know what it's about)
°Doggy = He just loves to watch you slowly stretching into position. Your pretty body on the bed presenting itself to him. When he moves to you and lets his hands move over the warm skin of your back before he penetrates you. He just loves to either bury his hand in your hair and pull you against him. That thin line of praise and pain. When you can't take it anymore and you're just held up by his hands on your hips while the bed scrapes against the wall over and over again.
°Bow = When he kneels between your legs and pulls you lightly against him just to see not only you lying completely in front of him on the bed, but to feel your legs clinging to him just to get a little more of the pleasure. If you don't interlock your fingers, he can run his hands over your torso. Turning to your breasts, your hair, your expression of lust and arousal. And to your neck, around which he will put his hands more than once, increasing the pressure, feeling your fast heartbeat underneath. it's incredible.
══════════════════════
G = Goofy (are they more serious at the moment? are they funny? etc.)
°Sex is nothing too serious for him. He sees it as an important connection because of trust. However, for him it is not something to be worshipped completely. It's a time for him to have fun and love you more than a way to make love.
°However, I do think that he will bring a few jokes and comeatres before and after the act in order to close the mood or to initiate/improve it.
══════════════════════
H = Hair (how shaved is it? Does the trunk match the apple? ect.)
°It's the same colour as on his head, although a little darker depending on the light, but you can hardly see it.
°He is actually always quite shaved, especially since he usually just takes it with him when he showers. But there are also days or weeks where he just doesn't care and if you don't care then he doesn't care either.
══════════════════════
I = Intimacy (how are they at the moment the romantic aspect)
°Even if sex is not the most intimate or equally valuable thing for him, it doesn't mean that he doesn't allow romance during it. He can be very romantic.
°During the moment, he uses most of his words to show you what he thinks of you, sweet words of praise to flatter you. When he's not sleeping with you, he'll give you little gifts, whether it's movies, cds, VHS tapes or a new collar that he promptly tries out.
══════════════════════
J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)
°Several times a week it doesn't take much. Before he met you, porn magazines and videos were usually enough for him. But when he saw you at a Mayhem concert, each of the actresses blurred into your image and each victim became you. He can't remember a time when he broke almost every VHS tape, so often he imagined himself with you.
°But also in your relationship when you make love to each other or put it into some kind of foreplay or show it excites him immensely. Simply the degree between teasing and pure fascination is something he appreciates and loves about you.
══════════════════════
Kink = (one or more of the kinks)
°Breath Play = He just loves to put his hands not only around your body but also around your neck. The thought that he can kill someone like that and watch his victim die not only fascinates him, it also excites him. But he loves you, which is why he lets you pass out in the worst case (which happened once and he didn't care about you afterwards because he was afraid you would leave him). Which is why he loves to just put one or both hands around your neck and feel your heartbeat quicken by the second as he fucks your brains out.
°,,Your pulse is faster than usual, is my dick that good?"
°Knife Play = The knife is his constant companion next to you. Whether it's a quickie and the blunt or sharp side is pressed against your body. Or in a long night to leave beautiful stripes and stripes on you. Getting the blood through the blade and kissing and sucking it away. There are so many possibilities he wants to try. Or you can take the knife and hold it to his neck, a new experience that shouldn't excite him as much as he thought.
°,,You taste fantastic, just everything about you my sexy blood bag".
══════════════════════
L = Location (favourite place to do it)
°The beanbag in the record shop is his favourite place to sit next to the couches in the basement. Since the beanbag is adjustable depending on your weight and how many people are sitting or lying on it, Faust loves to add a little extra experience to your sex. But most of all, it's funny if he slides off the beanbag so quickly, which makes for a few laughs.
°His room where he can lock the door and just have you to himself without anyone coming in or the music being so loud that he can't even hear you moaning. Which is why it's one of the safest and most comfortable places for him.
══════════════════════
M = Motivation (what turns them on)
°Gore = Whether it's a picture, a video/film or the laundry, as soon as he notices something like that and is completely immersed in it, he feels the excited tingling glide through his body before he almost frantically looks for you to watch it together with you before his hands have already sunk under your clothes and he secretly starts to go for what he wants. You can already feel his excitement, but you like to play the game of innocence over and over again.
°Blood = Whether you have accidentally hurt yourself or he has hurt himself or someone else. The smell and the image that shows itself to him is simply arousing. He doesn't know how to describe it himself, but after his first kill he has this feeling inside him to do it again and the excitement he felt seems to continue to exist.
══════════════════════
N = No (something they wouldn't do, dismissing)
°Vanilla = It's not that he completely rejects just making love to you without any toys or little challenges is just not really arousing for him so he tries to avoid it. But if you want it that way, he will try to make it that way and slowly try to bring you closer to his desires.
°Latex = One material, or at least something of which he is not aware, is latex. With leather he is totally into it, he loves to touch the cold leather, to put your neck in the form of a collar or to feel the leathery handle of his knife. But latex is the exact opposite. It's just too hard for him to hold, let alone put on you comfortably. He likes the texture even less and it always feels to him like he's touching a cold, non-sticky gum. It's just not his.
══════════════════════
O = Oral (preference whether giving or receiving, skill, ect.)
°He loves it when you pleasure him like this, he can bury his fingers in your hair and give or keep control as he pleases. He just loves to let you do it and see if you tantalise him a bit or not. Not to mention that he can still put the collar on you and wipe away the rest of the cum with his fingers to try it himself if you haven't swallowed it all. But you still get the rewarding kiss and the praise.
°,,Fuck-ah you're so good-ah in that."
°Similar to Dead, he is completely fascinated by this. He'll hug you from behind and derig you onto the bed, only to get off you and immediately get down on his knees and practically rip your clothes off and treat himself to the best there is. He's more than just concerned about giving you a good time, he's also concerned about your reaction to him. Whether in the form of your moans and pleas, the slight trembling of your legs, everything is reward enough for him. Especially when he leaves little red sweet burning scratches on your thighs with his fingernails. He just likes to hold you in spite of everything.
°,,You're sexy as hell when you beg to come".
══════════════════════
P = Pace (are they fast and hard? slow and sensitive? etc.)
°He is usually a mix of both, initially rather slow and almost cautious. Always watching and observing how you react to him and how you sink into lust.
°But as soon as the lust and excitement has clouded his brain, there's no stopping him. It's not for nothing that the wood of his bed is already slightly scraped by the constant banging against the wall.
══════════════════════
Q = Quickie (their opinion on quickies, how often etc)
°Yes, he is definitely a fan of quickies because they are good for settling down and go fast which is doubly good when he doesn't have too much time.
°Not too often, it depends on how much time you both have, before a concert and you've got about twenty minutes to go. In a side street before you go to the record shop why not? Or after a concert in the backstage area everything is inside.
°,,You, me and the dressing room over there?"
══════════════════════
R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)
°He doesn't really have any experience in experimenting. The relationships before you were really just dull and lacklustre. But with you, since you've been together, you've both been experimenting with each other.
°He almost never says no to taking a risk, whether it's something new or a quickie. Unless it's a bad time and/or it's something he doesn't like at all or something you don't like.
══════════════════════
S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go? how long can they last?)
°He has more than just good stamina and strength which is not least due to the fact that he does at least some training because murdering a person just like that takes time. But as for the sex, at least 3 rounds are possible, of course, depending on how much you both feel like it. But it is certain that the night is long.
°,,That was only round two, but you can't go another round, my sweet".
══════════════════════
T = Toys (do they have toys? do they use them? on their partner or themselves?)
°Knife = His knife, which he always carries with him everywhere, has become his favourite sex toy as well as a murder weapon. After you two have become familiar with it, he uses it almost all the time. Little red stripes on your body are part of it. This narrow degree of lust, the fear of stabbing and the thought of committing murder simply excites him. Even if he should hurt your skin, he immediately covers it up with his lips kissing the wound and the words of praise.
°,,You mean so much to me, I mean look at how beautiful you are".
°Collar/Leash = He likes to use this on you in the doggy position when he doesn't have your hair in his hand he will use it with pleasure to pull you towards him. Running his fingers over the cool leather that nestles against you simply triggers a desirable kind of desire in him.
°,,Shit, you don't know how good you look".
══════════════════════
U = Unfair (how they love to tease)
°He likes it especially to see how you react to it. Be it like I said in a bar with Mayhem and he lets his hand go under the table and puts it on your thigh.
°,,What's the matter, sweetie?"
°But even if you start to tease him, even if it's just a suggestive look, he'll go for it and it's almost a make out session which is commented on by the others rolling their eyes.
══════════════════════
V = Volume (how loud are they, what sounds do they make, etc.)
°He is loud at least when he knows you are alone. Because then it's almost too dangerous for him to get caught, especially if it's in a busy place. But even then, with a certain alcohol level, he doesn't care in the end.
°Moaning loudly. He is not ashamed of it and will tell you and others within earshot how good you are and how incredible everything feels.
══════════════════════
W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)
°The thought of you two committing murder together, since he got away with one for now, is more than stimulating to him. Imagining what weapons you would both take, pick a victim and just do it. Together it must feel wonderful - at least he's convinced of that.
°Shoot a snuff film with you, you hold the camera while he does the deeds and they are real and not acted out. The porn sequences in between you both shoot with pleasure, the only question is which of Mayhem and the coven may be the lucky cameraman.
══════════════════════
X = X-ray (let's look under the clothes)
°He has a happy trail that is just as dark as his hair and is clearly visible depending on whether he keeps it or rides it off. From the size 16cm/6,29921 he is well equipped but from the width his diameter is the thickest of all not only the band of the whole group. You can get your fingers around it but they only almost touch.
°He knows he is good looking. He knows he turns you on and you find him attractive. He knows you're watching him, and not just when he gets out of the shower with a towel around his hips, his hair wet, and you watch every drop of water as it glides over his skin. He fucking loves it.
══════════════════════
Y = Yearning (how high is the sex drive?)
°High. Very high. Even if you can't tell by listening to music or watching movies for hours and talking about his fantasies. But in between all that, he's all about you.
°Especially when you are together in the basement of the record store or at his house his hands are always on you. A little play with your hair strand and sweet perverted purring words. His hand on your or your thigh to your centre or your breasts he is all over you.
°,,Fuck...I mean the sight of you...how about we get out of here and well you know".
══════════════════════
Z = Zzz (how quickly do they fall asleep afterwards)
°There are two possibilities the first is that he takes a long time to fall asleep. Which is more likely to be because he either watches a movie or starts talking to you about anything afterwards.
°The second possibility is that he falls asleep immediately afterwards. Of course after all the aftercare but when you have adjusted your pillow and are about to ask him something you don't hear anything from him except a little snore. A big grizzly bear sleeping gently next to his little lamb.

Silver eyes kind of make Ruby/Cinder rivalry underwhelming
Title is fairly self explanatory, Cinder doesn't really pose a threat to Ruby under conventional circumstances because of threat of Silver eyes. This kind of hinders what you can do with them as enemies.
Think about it, inexperienced Ruby at the end of Volume 3 was almost able to kill Cinder on the spot, and Cinder ended up losing an arm and an eye in that encounter. In Volume 5 brief use was able to paralyze Cinder in pain, almost allowing Jaune to kill her. If pretty much anyone else except Jaune fought Cinder there, it's safe to say she would have probably died. And all of this is before Ruby was taught to control her powers. And heavy damage Cinder took in Volume 3 was before she was even really grimmified, imagine how much damage Silver eyes would have done to theoretical half grimmified Cinder. Sure, both times she used Silver eyes against Cinder she was heavily drained, but does it really matter? Imagine some late volume (if we ever get there) and Ruby is fighting Cinder, does it really matter Ruby fainted if Cinder is either cremated or so weakened anyone else can finish her off?
Of course, protagonist being major villain's kryptonite is not RWBY exclusive thing. Something like Jojo's Bizarre Adventure parts 1 and 2 come to mind (some spoilers ahead). But difference is those powers were more limiting and villains had all the tools in the world to stop them. Yeah, protagonist there can theoretically defeat major villain in one punch, but good luck getting anywhere near them. In RWBY, Silver eyes are significantly easier to use and to top it off, they are attached to speedster character. Ruby doesn't have to come in melee and land powerful blow on Cinder, all she has to do is look at her weak spot.
This of course wouldn't be a big deal if characters weren't built up like foils. What would purpose be of building them as foils if they are never meant to fight or meaningfully interact (and I don't consider Cinder growling at Ruby to be particularly meaningful interaction). So they'll either never interact, have extremely underwhelming fight or have fight with some extremely contrived reasons why Ruby can no longer just one shot Cinder like before.
Of course, none of this is some revolutionary discovery, just my thoughts on the matter. However, then I started thinking about it: what if you have their literary influences reach the climax of their stories? What if you swap their alignments?
For Ruby, have her be captured by Salem and turned into Grimm human hybrid, thus fulfilling "Red Riding Hood gets swallowed up by the Wolf" part of the story. This will be payoff to Salem insisting on capturing her instead of killing her, as well as payoff to Hound, Silver eyes warrior turned into Grimm. This would turn Ruby into powerful villain at the end point of story.
For Cinder, have her be redeemed by either Jaune or Ruby (I personally lean more towards former due to Joan of Arc and Indecisive King literary references), fulfilling end point of Cinderella story. She'd then in either case be purified by Ruby's Silver eyes, turning her fully human again.
Now you can have them fight without it being lopsided matchup. Ruby cannot use her Silver eyes on Cinder due to her no longer being Grimm, while Cinder would likely no longer hold massive power advantage due to Ruby's strength being greatly boosted by grimmification (on top of likely having some form of regeneration like Cinder's Grimm arm). This would also flip their circumstances, with Cinder now trying to help Ruby instead of trying to kill her and vice versa. Ruby would of course be redeemed in the end likely due to her team reaching out and helping her break out of grimmification (symbolizing huntsman saving Red Riding Hood from wolf's stomach).
And due to timeline placement, they'll also have some time to interact between Ruby purifying Cinder and Ruby being captured, paying off previously established parallels.
Anyways, what are your thoughts? Does this hold some water or are we destined to have One Look Man Ruby cremate Cinder in first 2 seconds of the fight? If of course we are get to that portion of the story...

Mar'i Grayson Titans
I always wondered who the Titans of Mar'i's generation would be (if DC would stop killing off Titans kids). Her generation takes place a few years after Damian's, after he becomes the next Batman. It also happens during Batman Beyond.
The members are:
Mar'i Grayson | Nightstar
Lian Harper | Red Riding Hood
Irey West | Kid Flash
Robert Long | Darkstar
Ceridian | Aqualad
Steven Logan-Stone | Animorph
Cade Wilson | Blackbird
Rhea Beecher-Duncan | Papillon
Corazon Reyes | Pixie
Augustina Thomas | Sunbeam
At first, the team was just Nightstar, Red Riding Hood, Darkstar, Ceridian, and Kid Flash but their members increased over time.
Team breakdown
Mar'i Grayson | Nightstar: Self explanatory. Being the daughter of Nightwing, the original Titans leader, and Starfire, Mar'i is taking up a mantle passed down from Dick. She has her mother's Tamaranean abilities.
Lian Harper | Red Riding Hood: Lian is the daughter of Arsenal and Cheshire. After leaving her previous team the Strays behind, she has joined forces with Nightstar and the other children of the original Titans to form the next Titans team. Like her father Arsenal, Lian is a skilled archer.
Irey West | Kid Flash: Iris "Irey" West II is the daughter of the previous Kid Flash and Linda Park. She inherited the speedster gene and has access to the Speed Force. She's one of the original Titans.
Robert Long | Darkstar: The son of Troia. Robert was raised by his mother and never knew his father. His Amazon powers manifested fairly early, and he was trained as one by his mother. Once he became of age, he was his mother's Wonderboy. He then retired the Wonderboy mantle and went on to join the Titans, taking the name Darkstar.
Corazon Reyes | Pixie: Daughter of Blue Beetle and Faerie. Corazon inherited her mother's Metahuman powers. She joined the Titans after Robert reached out to her. She seems to have a crush on him, but doesn't know if he returns her feelings (spoiler: he does but is shy).
Steven Logan-Stone | Animorph: Middle child and only son of Beast Boy & Cyborg. Steve was originally a lone wolf until him and Mar'i crossed paths again after so long. He has the power to transform into robotic versions of animals.
Cade Wilson | Blackbird: Eldest child and son of Ravager and Raven. They actually wanted to join the new Titans when they first formed, but Rose felt like their powers weren't ready and that they needed some more training. Now that Cade has full control of their powers, they're a member and one of the most powerful ones.
Cade has a lot of Raven's powers including her magical abilities.
Augustina Thomas | Sunbeam: Daughter of the Signal and Fatale. Unlike her brother Blackout, Augustina chose to join the Titans since her and Wade Yates, the new leader of the Watchers, don't really get along. She inherited the light half of Duke's Metahuman powers.
Ceridian | Aqualad: Son of Tempest and Dolphin. He is the prince of Cerdia and next in line for the throne after his father. Ceridian joined the Titans to further establish peaceful relations with his nation and the surface world. He has the same Atlantean powers as his parents do.
Rhea Beecher-Duncan | Papillon: Daughter of Bumblebee and Vox/Herald/Guardian. Her and Steven are good friends so when he joined the team, she also joined so he wouldn't feel like the lonely new guy. Rhea has a supersuit that allows her to reduce her size, fly, and use the scales for various offensive and defensive purposes.

A couple of the Rogues: but I've assumed your childhood story (or stories) of choice based on them alone
Scarecrow: Sleepy Hollow (self-explanatory), The Little Match Girl, or something The Brother’s Grimm.
Mad Hatter: Alice in Wonderland (self-explanatory) and/or The Little Prince
Riddler: The Little Prince as well, or, it's one of Aesops Fables (except the crow and the pitcher, that's scarecrow territory)
Joker: a miscellaneous funny book, The Gingerbread Man and/or some kind of Dr. Seuss
Poison Ivy: The Giving Tree.
Harley Quinn: Alice in Wonderland, something Dr. Seuss, Goldilocks, The Wizard of Oz, or Beauty and the Beast
Croc(beloved): Oliver Twist, The ugly duckling, and/or the Reluctant Dragon
Two-Face: The Ugly Duckling, little Red Riding Hood, other "Big Bad Wolf" stories.
Freeze: The Secret Garden, Rapunzel
These few came to me relatively quickly: but others were-- more difficult.
*whispers* I think you should reblog this with your favorite rogue and childhood story (I wanna hear them)
For me: Scarecrow and the Legend of Sleepy Hollow (unsurprisingly)

WIP Song Tag Game
I was tagged by @caranox!! Thanks so much
Rules: Pick 5 songs that you feel represent your WIP and describe how they do so (or don’t and just leave it at the song) and then tag as many people as you’d like
Tagging: @elijahrichardwrites @regalserpent @sentfromwolves @verba-writing @writingforevren
I'm going to extra challenge myself here and do songs that were NOT included on my twtr playlist here! (link embedded)
So here are 5 more songs (links to songs embedded in titles) that represent my red riding hood retelling.
1. Wolves of the Revolution by The Arcadian Wild
There was blood in the air
I was on all fours, screaming life isn't fair
Break down these walls
And the cloaks of justice are only cloaks after all
Revolution is a major theme in the second half of my story, and of course the wolf imagery is great for a red riding hood retelling! I especially love the like about the cloaks of justice, as in my story I like to see history/propaganda as "justice" but it's actually just a coverup.
2. Meet Me In The Woods (Lord Huron Cover) by Amarante
I took a little journey to the unknown
And I come back changed, I can feel it in my bones
I fucked with the forces that our eyes can't see
Now the darkness got a hold on me
The truth is stranger than all my dreams
The Woodsman goes into the woods, discovers dark secrets that change his entire worldview, and the darkness lingering from The Wolf haunts him.
3. Cypress Queen by The Last Bison
Day arise, in solitude I will strain to find
The root from the vine that saved my life
And beam from the light that gave me sight
A glimpse of what I call home
This is pretty self explanatory! The Woodsman finds his home in the woods, more so than the kingdom. Solitude is his sanctuary.
4. Mahogany by aeseaes
Would you, would you?
String his neck
Would you, would you?
Steer this wreck
When I grow tall, bigger than them
I'll be reckless, not yet
This is one of my songs for Red. The further into the dark secrets she becomes, the more she is put to the test of where her loyalties actually lie, and what she is willing to risk to save her people.
5. Dear Wormwood by The Oh Hellos
And you have taught me well to hide away
The things that I believed in
You've taught me to call them all escapes
And you have taught me well to sit and wait
Planning without acting
Steadily becoming what I hate
You have always been there in my mind
But now I understand you
And I will not be part of your designs
As one of my Woodsman songs, this one gives me vibes for his journey to self-acceptance of both the good and the bad things he's done, and acknowledging some truths about himself that he denies for much of the book. I like to view the "you" here as society, society's expectations and culture which forced him to feel as though he had to hide much of who he was, and then shedding free from it.

49 and 50 plz for the ask game!!
oooh thank you!!
49. What are you currently working on? Share a few lines if you’re up for it!
I'm actually currently working on a Secret Santa-style gift fic for my server's Holiday Exchange (shameless promotion!) so unfortunately that is a secret.
But have no fear, I am always working on 19384 WIPs at the same time, so I will just pick a handful! Just for fun, we'll go multifandom too.
BNHA - Ghost Nana: originally started for a Whumptober fill, an AU where Nana lingers around as a ghost and keeps watch over her family... and Tenko can see her.
PJO - here comes a greek tragedy: a direct sequel to rubatosis, a Kronos!Percy AU. i think the title is a bit self explanatory.
D20 - Ylfa & Pinocchio fic: set mid c14e2, where I explore family dynamics with Little Red Riding Hood and Pinocchio.
50. Answer any question of your choice, or talk about anything you want to talk about!
that's a big one!
well, i'll never say no to talking about Nana, so! i have a deep love for her character and her continued, rippling effects on everyone even after her death, and what it must have been like to be her as the only OFA holder (we know) that had a family and a life and gave it all up.
she makes me INCREDIBLY emotional and i love her very much
i also have lots of tangled up feelings about One for All, and izuku being able to see the vestiges, and izuku & toshinori & nana particularly.
i wrote a rather short fic a few months ago that i think really gets at the heart of it called a place where all our stories begin, and i've always loved this part:
She smiles. Even if Izuku had never seen her before—though he has, in a simple picture frame in a house somewhere, forever smiling—he would know who she is immediately.
Shimura Nana is an exploding star. By the time her light has reached Izuku, it’s already gone out; and somehow, still, the image of her is here.
i also have a big soft spot for celestial imagery, and using that to describe nana... i dunno, the idea that someone can be gone and a part of them still lives on, that years later izuku can get a glimpse of nana though they will never really meet. the best i can say is this is very "romantic" to me (not in the "romance" sense of the word, but it's the closest i've got) and just. aguhghfh. the people who love you, the people whose lives you touched, carrying you onward...
yep! thanks for the asks! i'm happy for any excuse to ramble
#romantic particularly as a non-english/western translation#if im remembering correctly nana also refers to ofa as romantic at some point?#same thing#asks#ask games#fanfic ask meme#thank u robin!!!! <3

Event Plotting Call Part 3 !!
Below the read more is a short description for Mark, Morgana, Phillip, River & Salazar. Please like and I’ll slide into your DMs or reply with a starter for a specific plot and character !!
Mark Sloan - The Big Bad Wolf (Little Red Riding Hood)
Date - None or TBD
Plot Ideas
Date/Hook Up - Unaware Mark is the flirty, womaniser Mark that we knew in earlier seasons of Grey’s so he either has a date that he will only go on one date with and probably hook up with or find someone to hook up with during the night. I don’t mind which.
Dance Partner(s) - Again, he is flirty so date or not, he will no doubt ask many beautiful women to dance.
Drinking Buddies - For once, he’s not on call so he is getting drunk and needs someone to drink with. Bonus if it’s another doctor he can relate with.
Morgana Pendragon - Artemis (Greek Mythology)
Date - None
Plot Ideas
Hook Up - A girl has needs and I am open to someone of any gender being the person that Morgana takes home at the end of the night
Mythology Nerds - Given her job and her love for stories, anyone dressed up as a character from mythology would be someone she strikes up a conversation with so throw them at me.
Magic Buddies - Morgana has been building good relationships with other people in town with magic (for what purpose is still to be decided) but anyone who has already built or could build that kind of relationship would be a fun thread.
Prince Phillip - Oberon (A Midsummer’s Night Dream)
Date - Aurora
Plot Ideas
Business Clients/Investors - As a CEO for a big tech company, Phillip will likely use this event as an opportunity to mingle with current or potential business clients and investors and try and gain interest in his company. Any rich characters would be good for this plot.
Dance Partner(s) - Being a prince (and charming of course), Phillip is nothing if not a gentleman so he will likely invite friends or anyone who looks lonely to dance.
River Song - Peacock
Date - Officially No One (She’s a married lady though)
Plot Ideas
Dance Partner(s) - River has always had lots of fun at events like this and doesn’t plan to change that now. She will dance to basically every song and if someone asks, she’ll say yes and also find out what she can about town and the people in it while talking to them.
Drinking Buddies - Just someone to drink with, pretty self-explanatory. (Naomi Pierce)
Archaeology Buffs - Anyone that would be willing to talk about her job with her. She may get them to try and invest or just share their enthusiasm.
Salazar Slytherin - The Riddler (DC Comics)
Date - None (But pining after Helga)
Plot Ideas
Criminal Associates - Anyone he may work closely with or just occasionally come across in his criminal world. This may be slightly tense as he’s intending to leave this life behind and they may or may not be happy about it (though Sal is unlikely to outright reveal this fact anyway). They may even commit a crime or two during the convesation.
Dance Partner(s) - Sal is a really good dancer and will not turn down an invitation to dance (though he may dance most with Helga).

Rakall Shopping Spree!
After two weeks, Solart is back and better than ever! And by ‘better than ever’, of course I mean we are having to get back into the swing of the game and our characters with a shopping episode. As it should be!
Although we had our mission to find the individuals who cause the death and explosion of Ullivan the alchemist, instead our first decision was to find see the local shopping scene, and although that seemed like a waste of time, we actually used it to our benefit! Our first stop was the Red Wind Forge, a blacksmith shop that was ran by an individual we had met the night prior at the tavern: Kim! A blacksmith whose friend we beat in a drinking contest. The point of this was to have a relatively friendly face who we could ask questions with, which unfortunately did not come up with anything of major use. Ullivan didn’t interact with a lot of people in town and didn’t have anything that could relate to enemies, and the only suspicious characters were, as everyone is already thinking, the strange group of back robed individuals. With no information to help us, we decided to leave, but not before Aurora bought a Chain Shirt of Comfort, an extremely comfortable chain armor shirt that prevents the wearer from experiencing extreme heat or extreme cold. Once again; Aurora is boujee.
After the blacksmith, the party wanted to visit the town herbalist for Adrienne and her alchemical crafting, but unfortunately we find that the store was closed for the time being. The herbalist lady was in the forest near the city collecting supplies. So, for now, we decided to move on to the next store we were able to: The general store!
Giggles Goods was the name of the store, and this place was a ride. Upon entering the lights go out as a voice from nowhere began to call out and threaten us, accusing us of being thieves and scoundrels. Unfortunately, Seth and Sav were way too fast trying to calm the situation down instead of panicking, and the lights came back on as the voice admitted to just being bored and wanting to mess with people because it is funny. From the floor rose the source of the voice, a very strange fae creature wearing a black hood and cloak that disguised his entire body. This entity was Giggles, and he sold a plethora of really weird items for a general store, but that was not a problem as - and I am breaking my oath as an unbiased storyteller to say this - he was my favorite NPC so far. The store was mostly humorous, but Savadar did end up purchasing a Hat of Endless Rocks. It is very self-explanatory. He wants to make bolas, because as a Kishi he can produce silk!
The last store on the list was a magic shop, and one that absolutely nobody in the party could afford anything due to the fact that, again, it’s a magic store and everything was exceptionally far too much money. The owner, a four-armed Merfolk gentleman named Bezzeaf did defend himself and apologized but, well, man has to make a profit somehow. Thankfully, and surprisingly, only one item really spoke to anyone, and it made Savadar, the very levelheaded spider, mildly angry. A Physician’s Pendant, an item that, if rolled a 4 on a d4, would allow any healing spell to not take a spell slot as well as add an additional hit dice of healing for the spell. Something that would be extremely useful to Savadar, the party’s healer, and he would have bought if he did not spend the money on the Hat of Endless Rocks. Buyers remorse is real in this world. Despite not being able to spend any money, Seth was able to smooth talk his way to borrowing a book from Bezzeaf, one about giants and giantkin for some reason, not giving an explanation for it at the time.
With our main shopping finished for the time, we returned to the herbalist shop were, once again, she was absent, and this was actually making a good few people who needed the shop mildly upset and concerned. Being the noble heroes that we are along with any excuse to get out of this town, we took it upon ourselves to search for this woman, heading out into the forest and following her trails. This was obvious leading to some form of attack so we might have meta-gamed and prepared ourselves for an attack, although nobody was ready for what exactly happened next. When coming across a strange outcropping of land that stuck up nearly fifty feet in the air with the herbalist’s footsteps stopping at the base of it, the party was instantly surrounded by not only four run of the mill wolves, but also two goo monsters in the shape of wolves that clearly seemed to control the other wolves through fear and dominance. At this, we ended, and next we shall jump immediately into combat.
Also no art this week because a shopping themed stream is sort of difficult to make something for, at least for my stupid brain.

Edit.
It's a long post and scrolling is annoying so Im putting stuff under a readmore for now
Au fics

spencer swap- a continuation of my spencer swap au with one of my ocs, Shepherd. I jump around a lot and have fics set in every game from re1 to re8 on the go as wips. Don't hold your breath for this one but you can read the first few chapters here.
Some sort of shitpost fic-
my friends and i have been making hella jokes about the lords. Idk if i'll post this one but it's still in my wips bin.
Chrysalis- inspired by my crystal post
This is just me bringing karl and the other lords back. Pure self serving indulgence right here and i'm not even REMOTELY sorry. Will probably feature shepherd at some point because I like to live vicariously through her. tw possible character death

Ruby having a wolf/dog/canine motif has long been a popular idea in the fandom. And it’s easy to see why; after all Ruby has always had an ‘adorable puppy’ image, and we’ve also seen a number of times that Ruby would have no trouble going for somebody’s throat. Both metaphorically and literally.
Now for the most part, people explore Ruby’s canine motif via the AU route by simply making Ruby a Wolf Faunus. Now while there is certainly nothing wrong with this take, I also think we can get a little more imaginative with this concept of Wolf!Ruby.
So today I thought I’d talk about how Ruby actually turning into a big, fluffy, fuzzy murder machine could actually happen in the show and would fit rather well thematically into Ruby’s character.
First, The How, which I am quite happy to talk about because really all we need to do to get Doggo!Ruby is combine my two favorite ‘completely bonkers yet make a weird amount of actual sense in context’ theories:
One – Yang inherited Raven’s animal-shifting magic. This one’s pretty self-explanatory; Basically Raven unknowingly passed on some of the magic she got from Ozpin that allowed her to turn into an animal that symbolizes her to Yang, and at some point our metaphorical Sunny Dragon is going to be able to turn into an ACTUAL Sunny Dragon. The evidence for this one has basically been right in front of us since Volume 5 when we learned that Raven’s and Qrow’s animal-shifting aren’t a semblance and are instead an ability they got from Ozpin. Plus, we know that people with Magic power can pass on a bit of that power to their children, especially if it’s true that the Silver Eyed Warriors are descended from Ozpin. Heck, Yang’s even displayed a small degree of shapeshifting via her eye-color changing.
Two – Raven is Ruby’s dad. This theory is a bit more well-known, plus I’ve already done a few posts on it. Basically, through some form of super-science/magic-chicanery, Ruby is Summer’s and Raven’s magic lesbian lovechild.
And when we combine these two theories, we get: Ruby ALSO inherited Raven’s animal-shifting magic, which will allow her to turn into a wolf!
Second, The Why:
The fact is, Ruby’s character has been associated with canines a number of times throughout the series. She has Beowolf-print pajamas, a dog-face pillow, a pet corgi and tends to fight Beowolves more than any other type of Grimm. Plus, she’s definitely got the puppy-dog adorableness down pat.
Then there is a specific element to Ruby’s method as a Huntress. Ruby is not just a hunter. She is almost always seen leading a group of hunters. In other words, a Pack. It’s been made clear on multiple occasions that Team RWBY are many times stronger when fighting together than when they are apart.
And just speaking in terms of the general mechanics of the ability; we already know that Ruby is capable of deconstructing and reconstructing herself at a molecular level via her semblance. With that in mind, why wouldn’t she be able to reconstruct herself into a different form?
Finally, given how much RWBY subverts, flips, inverts and generally plays its fairy tale conventions anything but actually straight, to the point where Little Red Riding Hood in this story is a hunter of monsters rather than their prey, it would hardly be a stretch for this Little Red to have a bit of wolf in her as well.

Haunted House Escapades
Pro-Hero AU Timelines | 172732014
please do not repost, but you have permission to reblog :)
• Watch/ Listen on YouTube: https://youtu.be/w2JEQMOPpj0
• Read on Wattpad: https://www.wattpad.com/1138586296-oneshots-pro-hero-au-172732014-haunted-house
The spooky season has come out to play, now with the city decorating itself with pumpkins and candles, creepy crawlies and ghouls. An invite from Idaten's principal mechanic caught many off-guard, but ever since the reunion night, they had been fervent to make connections, and in turn, create all the support items required by all who were close to Iida.
Still, free invitations to the first fully-functional and interactive haunted house was something nobody could ignore, at least for most. But it came with one condition.
All that had received an invitation, must dress for the occasion.
EIJIROU KIRISHIMA | After You
"Whoa..."
You stared up at the attraction in awe, watching the lights flicker from inside the makeshift house, casting shadows of figures that creaked and swayed. The haunted house attraction at the indoor amusement park was a sight to see, having been built by Iida's top mechanic. You wondered what was in store while you stood by the makeshift gate that opened up to a mechanized yet very convincing looking courtyard filled with gravestones.
"Yeah, I heard this place had wicked scares," commented Kirishima with a grin, his red hood hanging over his head while his unruly red hair draped from within its canopy.
You peered up at the redhead with a smirk, fixing his hood so that his face was open to see from underneath. "I still can't believe you dressed as Red Riding Hood. At least one with pants," you teased.
"It's kinda like a tradition," he explained with a wry smile, revealing his teeth playfully. "Ever since Bakugou dressed as a werewolf back at the academy on our first Halloween there, it's been our thing."
"Why am I not surprised?" You chuckled while you fixed the collar of your shirt and the straps of your trousers that held the large faux axe by its belt. Arriving at the amusement park was a pleasant surprise after spotting and meeting with Kirishima's ragtag friends who all received an invite to the attraction. His reasoning for his costume was soon self-explanatory after finding Bakugou indeed dressed as a werewolf for the day. You were bewildered that the blond came dressed in the first place while his arm encircled around his fiance's shoulders, but you didn't want to question it.
"So, shall we?" You asked, your eyes still drawn towards your axe.
"Yeah..." Kirishima's voice trailed off with uncertainty while you still fiddled with the axe, ensuring that it wouldn't swing aimlessly around before you entered the attraction. Your attention was absent, focused more so on your costume from malfunctioning before-
"You go first," suggested Kirishima with a light push, tripping your boots momentarily into the cobblestones that lined the path towards the house.
"Hey!" You exclaimed while you found your feet, turning to Kirishima with a huff. "We're in this together!"
"You're the Huntsman!" He exclaimed in protest before he clutched on his hood, swaying coyly with a turn of his feet on his toes. "Aren't you going to protect me?"
The bubbling sensation in your throat pushed through your nostrils, chortling a little at his display before clearing your throat with a horrible attempt to keep the laughter at bay. Sometimes you couldn't take Kirishima seriously when he teased boldly.
"All right Mister Scaredy Cat, let's go," you coaxed while you reached out for his hand, grabbing his large palms and leading him into the attraction, through the fog and the voices that echoed around the courtyard.
Kirishima didn't object, smiling at your back while you entered the front doors. "Aw, you're my hero Thumper," he cooed with a tease.
You only turned to razz, sticking your tongue out in jest while you walked deeper into the dark shadows of the house with Kirishima in tow. He followed right after with no resistance against your pull, excited to see what was in store.
SHOUTO TODOROKI | Shoot First...
Arriving at the amusement park came with a few greetings when you found most of Todoroki's friends by the haunted house that you were invited to experience. You expected to meet Iida and his plus one from UA's reunion, but finding Midoriya by the large gates with his fiance was, in fact, a relief. You weren't one for horror attractions, let alone walking through a haunted house filled with who knew what with no boundaries between yourself and the attraction. As impressive as the set felt with its atmosphere befitting of Halloween, it wasn't a welcoming sight.
You clutched onto Todoroki's arm while walking through the attraction, thanks to some coaxing from Iida's mechanic and the creator of such a horror. They gave you one lifeline, directing you to the secret exit out from the attraction if the experience became too much for you to take. Unfortunately, that secret entrance was halfway through.
And you both had lost Midoriya and his fiance some time ago.
"Well, so far so good," you uttered while your eyes roamed about every dark corner you found, your body hugging tightly into Todoroki now that you had bypassed the foyer of the house and had chosen to roam one of three halls filled with eerie paintings on the walls.
"It's an improvement from the experience back at UA's Culture Festival," hummed Todoroki, his aloof eyes staring at the paintings with not a sign of fright. "There's a lot of attention to detail."
"It was only the one time with Class 1-C. I don't think any other class made one that topped theirs."
Todoroki hummed in acknowledgement of your recollection while he still observed the paintings, staring into their eyes which you surely thought were following the both of you through the dimly-lit hallway. His arm linked your waist into his, almost hiding underneath his dark cloak and keeping you close. In the mood light of the halls, you found his costume to befit the scenery with his tall pointed collars framing his face and his hair tied messily behind his head. You figured that he was impartial to dressing up as a vampire for the Halloween season, given the few Halloween celebrations back at UA, but it oddly suited his calm and collected demeanour.
He smiled while his hand trailed up to your shoulders, squeezing it gently to comfort you from the fear that never left. "The exit isn't too far away," he reassured. "We can leave when we reach it."
A sudden jolt in your dress' train caught you by surprise, gasping before a squeak escaped your throat. You felt Todoroki's hands brace your shoulders, turning to find your train caught what looked like a pile of bones scattered on the edges of the hall. You felt a shiver run up your spine while Todoroki released your train, gently coiling it up to hold in his arms. It didn't trail behind too far, but your Ice Queen ensemble was a staple of yours since high school.
It seemed that old habits die hard between Todoroki and yourself.
"This is honestly very tame," continued Todoroki while he handed your train to you, leading you by the arm once more. "This isn't that sca-"
BANG!
ROAR!
You had successfully left the haunted house by the secret exit, relieved to leave the dark confines of the attraction. But that didn't go without a simple explanation to the damages caused by Todoroki.
"I had to burn it down," he dryly explained with no sign of remorse.
"I tried to stop him," you followed after.
"Todoroki!" reprimanded Iida, having stayed by the exit as a favour after hearing of your reluctance to enter the haunted manor.
Leaving the attraction damp from the emergency sprinklers and smelling of smoke from the fire wasn't a pleasant way to end the experience. But luckily, Todoroki was able to dry off the moisture from the costumes you wore once the both of you were brought out from the dark. It happened so quickly when out of nowhere, from behind the walls, jumped a large werewolf, its eyes burning brightly red and its fur glowing fluorescently under the lights. It snarled, baring its teeth with its arms held up high and its claws jutting out towards the both of you. You felt Todoroki's body seize next to you, until in a knee-jerk reaction to the jumpscare, set the animatronic on fire.
"Are you serious?" cried out a hapless sigh from a very exasperated mechanic, their eyes filled with disbelief until, like a switch, they became thoughtful of the event. "At least the emergency systems work well isolated. It gives others a chance to experience the manor without any interruptions."
You watched their smile widen with pride, confused that they weren't too upset about the damage, until they read your face with a grin.
"I'll be able to swap out Canis Major for her brother without interrupting Midoriya's experience," they explained.
You sighed exasperatedly at the explanation. But at the very least, both Todoroki and yourself survived the manor.
HANTA SERO | Trick Or Treat
Ah, Halloween. The best season to be amongst the people in costume without anyone batting an eye. All it took was a few... accessories. After a bit of "borrowing" across the city, you found the pieces you needed to dress up, well, just two that were perfect for the job - a fox mask complete with ears, and an attachable tail. Walking out in public was a piece of cake, being greeted by Halloween-goers who revelled in the festivities, and a few poor souls that you could pickpocket for your amusement or need.
A stroll through the streets turned your curious eye towards Fukuoka, where a very familiar head of hair crossed your line of sight entering into a building. You learnt that it was an amusement park built indoors, entering to follow the man towards a large attraction, lit up from the inside out, covered in fog and mist, and built with moving parts, all different kinds. It intrigued you furthermore when Sero met up with his gaggle of friends, all dressed up for the season, about to embark on their adventure into said attraction.
Hiding away through the crowd, you immediately shot a ball of light towards one of many open windows of the mechanised haunted manor, jumping into the large foyer and perching yourself amongst the number of statues that decorated the ceiling. It was nothing different from sneaking into a bank or a museum, but with the doors opening from the front of the lobby, you spotted Sero enter along with a short man dressed comically in a cloak. It was no surprise who that was, having the pleasure of meeting him once before.
"Honestly, what are you supposed to be?" asked Mineta, eyeing Sero's slightly plain-looking outfit. "Kirishima's partner did it better than you."
"You're one to talk," he rebutted, eyeing the short cape and the fangs that protruded out from Mineta's mouth.
"Chicks dig vampires."
"Yeah, well, you look more like a bat."
You tried your very best to hold in your laughter, chuckling deeply in your lungs before you breathed to relax once more. You eyed Sero's costume, finding that you couldn't agree more with Mineta on his observation, however, you noticed a few accessories that stood out, most notably the toy crossbow that hung from Sero's back. In the back of your mind, you wondered what he could be dressed as, scrounging through any recollection on horror-related creatures and characters. A hunter perhaps? He didn't wear long coats or wore any large-brimmed hats, but he looked very woodsman-like. It was enjoyable to stare at.
"Say, did you see the look of them outside?" asked Mineta, catching your ear. "Maybe a bit rough around the edges, but if Iida isn't tapping that, I might have a chance."
"Really man? That's all you're thinking about?" asked Sero with a sigh, making his way towards three doors to choose from.
You shook your head disappointingly, not surprised to hear the short man speak about prospective partners, if not hookups given your experience with him at that reunion. But you couldn't fault him. He did have good taste, and Sero had explained briefly during your impromptu Christmas visit that he wasn't all that bad.
"That corset on them was just divine," cooed Mineta, his face pulling ever so lewdly.
On second thought...
"Good luck with that," ended Sero, entering one of the doors with Mineta in tow.
You smirked before shooting yourself in a beam of light through the crack of the door before it slammed shut behind the men, engulfing the hall with a flash before you shot into the dark ahead. You couldn't help but smile at the sound of a squeak from Mineta, sliding across the floor before meeting with the skull of a decomposing skeleton by the wall, its eye peering back at you with its naked stare.
"Huh," you uttered, admiring the attention to detail. Whoever made this attraction was an artist, you thought, eying the shadows of both men down the hall with an idea you couldn't pass up. With a multitude of light that sparked from your palms, you sent them out with a gentle flick of your wrist, their bright flickers decorating the hallway before they disappeared into the dark.
"Ah, what are those?" pointed out Mineta, the fear prickling up at the back of his spine.
"Eh, just some lights," nonchalantly replied Sero. "Come on dude, it's the oldest trick in the book." His eye turned back into the dark hallway, decrepit and covered in dust and cobwebs, until one ball of light languidly floated towards him, drunkenly wobbling in the air. He stared at it curious before it immediately shot away into the dark above, soon followed by a clang and a smash of items falling from the sky.
Mainly next to Mineta.
Mineta screamed with every item that dropped near him, from plastic vases, broken wooden goods, and the occasional skull, until suddenly, something large fell atop his head, its arms draped across his shoulders and its head leaning by his side. He turned to stare into the naked eye of a skeleton still with flesh attached to its bones and matted hair that draped across its face. He cried and screamed while he ran in circles, the skeleton still attached to his shoulders until it finally fell from them, falling in a heap onto the floorboards.
Sero couldn't help but watch the spectacle with an outrageous laugh, bowling over with his arms and hands against his chest. The sight almost made him die of laughter.
"Is my pain that much entertainment for you?" cried Mineta, curled in a ball on the floor away from the rotten skeleton that laid by the wall.
"Oh... yes," replied Sero with a grin.
A flash of light caught his eye before something light floated before him. A card, the stock very familiar to his eye. While Mineta still laid on the floor, Sero grabbed the card, turning to spot your familiar handwriting.
Trick or Treat, Bucky. Let me entertain you.
He sighed exasperatedly, knowing that you were somehow involved, seeing how much bolder you've become in making yourself a part of his waking life. But this was going to be an unforgettable experience.
And he loved you for it.
KATSUKI BAKUGOU | ... Ask Questions Later
It took some convincing to get Bakugou to agree for this invite, after hearing that all his friends had also received one for this haunted house experience. It wasn't more so the invite that perturbed him, it was the condition added on top. Bakugou refused to dress for Halloween, and was more than happy to forgo participating in something as mundane as an experience. But after a few phone calls from friends, and a very convincing argument from Kirishima, he folded. He agreed to dress as a werewolf for the day, his usual go-to according to Kirishima. The aforementioned redhead had already pre-warned you that he was dressing as Red Riding Hood, so as the both of you didn't double up on the costume fiasco. It left you wondering what you could dress up as for the occasion, actually going through an endless black hole of image searching for some inspiration.
The day of the invitation came with a meet-and-greet, finding familiar faces by the large faux gates of the attraction, and a squeal from Iida's mechanic at the sight of you, dressed prim and proper in Victorian Steampunk fashion. After an excitable introduction, both Bakugou and yourself entered the courtyard grounds along with Kaminari who decided to tag along, walking through the large front doors to be met by an impressive-looking foyer.
"Sky Pirate?" questioned Kaminari while he strolled alongside Bakugou and yourself through the lobby, eyeing the three doors ahead.
"Yeah, I've got nothing," you admitted. "Plus it kind of fits my personality."
A scoff answered that statement, finding Bakugou's scowl embedded into his brow while he turned his eye towards each door, contemplating on which one to enter based on the instructions given by that mechanic outside.
"You're really against my own reasoning?" you questioned with a sceptical brow, staring up at the wolfed up man.
"You chose a costume that is vague," he reiterated, making his way towards a door with Kaminari and yourself in tow. "You could be anything you label yourself with the way you're dressed. And besides, fitting your personality? Airhead."
"Oh? And what does the Big Bad Wolf think?" you teased, raising your hands above your head in place for ears.
Bakugou slowly opened the door, eyeing your teasing gesture before he pulled you in, his hands cradling you in his arms while he edged his fangs closer. He growled under his breath, very befitting of his costume choice while the door continued to open, revealing a long corridor decorated in a multitude of lights. "How about I sink my fangs into your neck and you can find out?"
The offer was abrupt and out of nowhere, staring into Bakugou's almost glowing eyes until a colourful creature jumped from the door.
"Boo!"
Bakugou's fist swung straight into the face of a toothy clown, covered in dirt and blood, and keeling over from the strength he exuded in that one swing. You stared at the clown, whimpering and holding his face before he crawled back into the dark, most likely disappearing into the walls of the hallway ahead. Bakugou's hands clutched onto your body, pulling you into him tightly while his hand still held out in a fist. The look on his face was curdled with a sneer, but his eyes were wide and, to his dismay, filled with irritation.
He soon relaxed, feeling his arms releasing you from his tight grip that almost crushed you if given the chance. A huff escaped his nostrils, turning his eye onto Kaminari who stared at him smugly at what had transpired.
"It's not my fault the clown put his face near my fist," excused Bakugou, half-reasoning, half-threatening.
"Kaachan, just admit that you were scared and you punched his face by accident," smoothly suggested Kaminari with that smug smile plastered on his face.
"I wasn't scared, Franken-Dumbass."
"Um... Devil," pointed out Kaminari, pointing at the horns that sat atop his head, and showing off the smart formal dress he wore.
Bakugou scoffed irritably before he pulled you into the hallway with him, ignoring Kaminari's presence. Leaving the jovial blond behind, you turned to Bakugou, wrapping your arm around his waist in comfort. He rarely showed any forms of weakness in public, but while with you, alone in this experience of horror, he gripped tighter on your waist in return, hugging you against his chest.
At least with his reflexes, you felt you wouldn't gain as many scares as the attraction would offer.
IZUKU MIDORIYA | Be In Good Company
You had a good laugh upon arriving at the amusement park, finding that Kirishima and yourself came as the same character. Despite the momentary pout from the redhead, you couldn't help your giggles at how apt the choice was for him to go as such. For you, it felt pretty simple seeing you already owned a red cloak in the form of your Hero outfit. It only needed another set of clothes to make the look, rummaging around for anything plain-looking to make the cloak the centrepiece of the costume. Still, standing by Midoriya's taller figure draped in a white sheet and cloak made for a sight between the two.
Eventually, the both of you entered the attraction, joined by Todoroki and his fiance who somewhat complemented their outfits. The foyer seemed the staple - a large introduction to the attraction setting the mood before you all were presented with doors to enter. You all decided to go in together, following each other in the dark.
Until you both lost Todoroki sometime ago.
"I think we should've turned back," you suggested while you eyed the brightly coloured lights that flickered through the halls and the melodies of fanfare echoing eerily around. "This hallway changed somehow. Weren't there paintings on the walls?"
"Um... yeah... I'm not sure what happened," uttered Midoriya, his arms shrinking within the white cloak he wore.
You retraced your steps back, finding the point of origin not too far from where you stood when the hallways changed scenery. Except there was nothing, no indication as to where the hallways began or ended while your hands scrounged around the walls for any evidence for a point of entry. "Looks like a mechanised wall?" you inferred.
"Ah!" cried Midoriya from behind you.
You turned to look around the hall, finding nothing out of the ordinary except for Midoriya hiding his face away under his hood. You turned to face him, attempting to find his face while you pulled the hood from his head, only to find his hands covering his eyes. You sighed at the sight, wondering what to do while you stared at this tall Number One Hero cower behind his palms.
"Is it still there?" he asked timidly.
You couldn't blame Midoriya for his reaction. He was first and foremost a bundle of nerves before he was headstrong. In fact, you never thought you would see him in this state, at least in a haunted manor, which wasn't really haunted. "Really?" you asked, earning a small nod from Midoriya. You smiled while you turned, ready to face whatever actor or animatronic stood by the halls.
"What would the Number One be afraid of-"
"Boo."
"Ah!" You yelled, clutching into Midoriya's chest, causing him to immediately grab you in his embrace and hug you tightly into him. The spotlight lit a glittering display, his outfit sparkling in sequins while he stood with a rapier in hand. His skin glowed under the light, which after your scare, you soon realised it was some form of body paint.
"Aoyama?" asked Midoriya, spotting the blond standing in the bright spotlight with a cheeky smile.
"Oui oui, I couldn't help myself," he purred with a smile, opening his arms out to lead the both of you down the corridor. "Please pass through."
You sighed along with Midoriya, relieved that it wasn't a statue that actually animated itself to life. Cautiously walking past Aoyama, you continued on with Midoriya, your hands clutching tightly in his, while he did the same. The sounds that echoed in the hall echoed around, wondering whether they were projected from a sound system, or were created from whoever still lurked in the attraction. That all faded into the back of your mind when you caught a whiff of something in the air.
"Do you smell smoke?" you asked, a little concerned.
"Let's just get through the rest of this place," suggested Midoriya, earning a rushed nod from you, wandering through the hallway until you reached the end.
HITOSHI SHINSOU | Mission Fail?
The house was eerily quiet, but not so much from the experience, eyeing the dark broody Hero that joined Shinsou and yourself in the attraction. Walking through the hallways became a bit boring, for lack of a better word, seeing nothing, if not nobody else but yourselves.
"Dude, you scared the rest of the scarers away," stated Shinsou with a little fluster in his tone.
"It is a nice temple of darkness. I do appreciate your attempt to frighten me," commented Tokoyami nonchalantly while he eyed the decor and the design of the hallway, covered in cobwebs and lit with striking purples and blues.
"So it didn't work."
"No."
Shinsou sighed to himself with a small pout, trying his best to not show how much care he took to attempt scaring the Jet-Black Hero. You were with him every step of the way, planning ahead with Iida's mechanic and employing as many actors as possible to achieve the goal. It sounded like a fun idea, until you all stepped into the dimly-lit corridor. You both didn't account for Dark Shadow's presence, even so small, freezing every actor from performing any potential jumpscares in the halls.
"At least you tried," you reassured, hoping those words would soothe Shinsou's disappointment, but to no avail. He frowned through his face paint and his dark hood, earning a nervous chuckle from you.
"I'm sure Fumi appreciated the effort," spoke Tokoyami's partner beside him, their arms neatly wrapped around his own while he led them through the corridor. "I hardly hear anything except for whatever those noises are coming from above."
"That's the loudspeaker, Beloved," informed Tokoyami, earning a small chuckle from his plus one to this attraction.
You smiled at the both of them, finding how considerate Tokoyami was leading his plus one and ensuring they did not crash into anything through the corridor. Just as much as they dressed simply for the attraction, both Shinsou and yourself opted to pick up cloaks and decorate your faces with designs, if only to look ghoulish. If it met the condition, entry was allowed, which helped in managing this giant scare for Tokoyami, which failed.
"It's actually pretty sweet," you stated, catching Shinsou's ear.
"What?" he asked.
"Them. Sure Tokoyami is a brooding guy, but he really did it to keep them safe. Can't fault him for that."
Shinsou sighed again, half in agreement, the other half in irritation while his eyes trailed after the black and white cloaks from their entourage disappeared into the dark ahead.
You had never seen Shinsou utterly disappointed in himself, especially over a scare. However, with all the effort he put into working with Iida's mechanic, you understood the energy he expended to ensure the scares would be not only brutal, but also epic. It was a habit of Shinsou's that you learnt over the years, of him wanting to make a huge statement in the smallest ways. With a smile, you wrapped your fingers around his, holding it close while you began to pull him into the corridor, walking past the cobwebs and the few bones scattered around.
"Come on, let's enjoy the rest of the trip. Maybe there's an animatronic we didn't account for," you suggested with an optimistic tone.
"Always the way, Kitten," he cooed after, allowing you to lead him down the corridor after Tokoyami.
DENKI KAMINARI | RSVP
Denki Kaminari stood by the door that Bakugou and his fiance had already entered after their minor altercation with an unfortunate actor. He wondered how much Iida's mechanic was paying them, seeing that they had to contend with people like Bakugou today to begin with, almost whispering a little prayer for them should they come face-to-face with the wolf in the dark. He fixed his collar and the horns that sat atop his head, aligning it as best as possible so that he wouldn't lose them through the manor. An oldie, but a classic, the Devil outfit still stuck with him from UA. He just couldn't pass up how suave he felt in the look.
He breathed a deep sigh, trying to wash the tension away while he swayed on his heels, scuffing the cheap knock-off Chelseas while he eyed the large front double doors. Has it been that long already? He wondered if he should just leave, even if he was able to open the front doors from the inside. It seemed redundant to even enjoy a horror experience without someone with him.
The front doors opened with a creak, seizing his heart before he laid his eyes on you, dressed in your witch's costume and that large pointed hat that scraped against the door before you shut it behind you. He watched you on approach, careful on your boots while you swayed a little.
"Everything okay?" he asked, watching you reach him with a light step.
"Yeah, I just didn't feel well for a while," you admitted, fixing the large hat atop your head. "I'm good to go now."
"Are you sure?" he asked. "We could sit this one out."
"No, don't, you looked so excited when we got the invite. Besides, I should get out more instead of being stuck in a room. You said so yourself."
Kaminari smiled at your optimism and enthusiasm, something that had to be rebuilt for a time. He was glad that there was a bit of reprieve, a calm and hopefully no storm in sight. He dug into his pockets and pulled out a ring, small and thin, but it glistened despite the dim lights that flickered in the foyer. He watched your smile brighten at the sight, giving your hand to him.
"Thanks for holding onto it for me," you softly spoke, while he slipped it on your fingers, soon gently holding onto your hand.
"Now tell me if you feel any different any time during this," advised Kaminari, linking your arm into his.
"You'll know when I do," you replied, taking in a deep breath before the both of you stepped through the threshold into the dark.
