Spring had settled, the snow all but an unpleasant memory. The chill to the air still hung heavy in the early hours of the morning, but by early afternoon the sun had warmed the air. You would be a liar if you said you weren’t curious how Spring looked in the Empire, just how different did it feel compared to your timeline? Everything felt different compared to where you were supposed to be. But maybe that’s nothing unusual. You weren’t even sure if this was a different timeline. What if it was a whole different universe? Or, the easiest theory to stomach, a coma dream. Maybe none of this was real and you were in a hospital bed, drugged out of your mind, and having crazy dreams.

The last option seemed the most likely, and the most comforting.

Still, you were desperate to find out what exactly was going on. You needed answers and a way home. Returning back home (if it was even possible) was your number one priority. Whatever you returned to didn’t matter, anything would be better than whatever the fuck was going on here. Asking Deoksun for help had been awkward. You couldn’t tell her exactly what was going on, as much as you love the girl, you couldn't risk her running back to Namjoon and confirming his suspicions that you were in fact a witch. Who would believe you? How could you explain that an attempted suicide had landed you here? Wherever you are. You know damn well you wouldn’t believe it.

You had asked Deoksun if she knew of anyone who was able to read futures, read palms– anything of the sort. She had eyed you with as much suspicion as you had assumed she would. She had a few questions, all of which you were eager to answer, telling as much truth as you could without letting her know too much. You had explained you wanted to know your future, was marrying Prince Seokjin a good choice? What was life going to look like if you agreed? The maid had eyed you up and down, her nose scrunched up before she had shaken her head and told you she didn’t know anyone who was able to do such things, but she would look into it. That had been some weeks ago, and you hadn’t heard any news on the subject since. You didn’t want to push her, but what if she had forgotten?

You had officially been here for just over two months. Namjoon had kept you isolated from himself, and his brothers. You were still stuck with the company of the old toad, your teacher, and sweet Deoksun. You loved the maid, but she was still just a child. She wasn’t a person you could confide in. So you have taken up journaling. It has been therapeutic, helping you get all your lingering thoughts out of your mind. Of course, you had been careful with what you had written, just to be safe. You couldn’t risk someone reading anything.

The last two months had been incredibly lonely. Usually, you didn’t mind your own company, back home you had even relished in it. Now you realize, that without modern-day technology, you were most definitely not built to be alone. But, you were certain this was Namjoon’s plan. You wanted you alone, isolated. If he could get you desperate enough for human contact, maybe you would give him whatever information he was so desperate for. But what could you even say? You had told him the truth, and lying wasn’t an option. Agreeing to his suspicions was out of the question. A shiver ran up your spine at the thought of admitting to witchcraft, even if it was a lie. What would he do?

The princes still sent small notes to your room, some nights you heard them by your door, pacing before slipping envelopes under the door. At first, you had ignored the letters, throwing them into the fireplace unopened. You would watch the fire eat away their words, a sense of satisfaction in your chest. But as weeks went by and loneliness began to eat away at you, burning their letters no longer gave you any satisfaction. You had begun to read their notes and letters, but you never responded. A small pathetic part of you was relieved they hadn’t forgotten you yet, that they still thought of you. It made you feel a little less lonely.

How pathetic.

Namjoon still allowed you to go outside twice a week, always accompanied. You had been assigned a regular guard, a man roughly your age, named Wonwoo. He was tall, quiet, and handsome. Wonwoo took his job seriously, never letting you stray too far. He kept you at arm's length at all times. You assumed Namjoon gave him details on what everyone's schedules were, seeing as most days he avoided going to certain areas of the palace. You had yet to run into the princes yet. You couldn’t help but feel a teeny tiny bit thankful toward Namjoon for the effort, he may think it was a punishment but in all honesty, you didn’t want to see them as much as Namjoon didn’t want to see you. It worked in your favor.

Deoksun hadn’t accompanied you on your morning walk, which was a first. When Wonwoo arrived at your door, the young girl missing from his side, it almost had you declining your only form of ‘freedom’. The guard had given you a deadpan look, arms crossed over his wide chest as he looked down on you.

“I’m a busy man, Lady Kim. I have far better things to do with my time, so please, make a decision.”

The bitter bite to his words had your pettiness bubble over. You may not want to go, but you’ll put on your big girl pants and be off. If it would piss off the man, you would be damned if you declined.

Huffing, hiking your poofy hanbok into your hands you shoved passed the man, marching down the hall. The Palace which had once felt like an unfamiliar maze was slowly becoming familiar. Maybe not the entire building, but the halls that you needed to know were engraved into your brain at this point. Every outing started on the same route, with a few changes depending on the Prince's schedule.

Your door slammed shut, heavy footsteps thundering behind you until your guard was at the same pace he always was. In the beginning, you had hoped to form a friendship with the man, desperation clinging to you heavily. You had tried everything you could to get the man to conversate with you, and every time he brushed you off. You were nothing more than a nuisance to the man. You had learned that quickly. You had also quickly learned he was easily irritated, often biting his tongue to hold back scolding you for running off or being too loud. So on the days he seemed particularly pissed off with your existence, you made sure to do everything you could to worsen his mood. You had very few joys in this life, you’d be damned if you didn’t take advantage of annoying an unnecessarily attractive, moody guard.

“Lady Kim, please stay close.” Wonwoo groaned, his pace picking up.

You ignored the man's begging, your steps picking up speed. The sun was out surprisingly early, reflecting off the dewy grass. It had rained heavily the night before, leaving the grass soaked through., and the earth mushy. You missed your boots. The hem of your dress was caked with mud, and for a moment you felt guilty. It was such a pretty outfit, and you had ruined it within only two hours of putting it on. Deoksun was going to be so upset with you.

The stables come into view, and your excitement picks up. Deoksun and Wonwoo had shown you the horse stables two weeks before, introducing you to the giant horses bred for battle. You had never seen horses so large before. Deoksun had been so excited to show you the beasts, that even Wonwoo had a little pep in his step. But your attention had been ripped away when your eyes landed on the fattest cat you had ever seen! The tabby was waddling toward the stables, its stomach bulging at the sides. You could have cried in delight. Deoksun had quickly explained the tabby was the pest control for the stables, her name was ‘Cat’, so very creative. She also happened to be heavily pregnant, hence the roundness. You had quickly befriended the cat, surprised with how friendly she was. You had honestly expected her to be feral.

Since then, you had begged to visit the stables in the hope of kittens. You had even snuck some chicken and other meats into your sleeves to bring along to bribe the cat to be your friend, and it had been working. Unfortunately, you didn’t have any leftovers for your new friend. You were a little worried she wouldn’t like you as much without the treats.

As you reached the back entrance of the stables, you made a beeline for where Cat had been setting up her nesting spot. She had been a little thief, stealing cloths and other soft things from the palace to make her birthing place as comfortable as possible. You had even brought along a blanket from your room to give to the sweet girl. Your excitement quickly disappeared at the sight of a trail of blood leading to where Cat was nesting. Your stomach tightened, that was too much blood to be from birthing. You turned on your heel, bumping into Wonwoo’s chest. The man grunted, his back going rigid.

He stepped around you, following the trail stopping at the pile of loose straw and bedding that you had helped the animal build up over the last few visits. The poor cat had been torn to shreds, by what he could only assume was a dog. It looked like the babies had been eaten, considering there weren't any of their bodies around. He knew the cat had given birth a few days after the Lady’s last visit, but she wasn’t aware. Deoksun had wanted to surprise her.

Wonwoo signed, rubbing his hand over his face. The poor girl was going to be devastated, he couldn’t let her see the gory scene. Making his way back to where he had left the Lady, he frowned, finding the space now empty. Wonwoo felt his heart rate accelerate. If he lost the damned woman, he would lose his head– and he was quite happy with his head where it was!

“Put it down.” You shrieked.

Wonwoo felt his bones nearly melt in relief at the sound of his Lady’s voice. Quickly, the guard took off toward the direction her voice had sounded from. He found the woman at the front entry of the stable, one hand on her hip while the other pointed toward a man's back.

“I said, put it down!” She hissed, crouching down to pick up a small stone.

Wonwoo eyed the man’s back, his brain working overtime trying to figure out how–why– a man's back was so familiar to him. His eyes widened, scrambling to grab your arm as you pulled back, but he was too slow. The stone had left your palm, soaring a short distance before hitting the man in the back of the head.

The man spun on his heel, eyes narrowed with unfiltered rage.

Prince Min Yoongi, future Emperor.

Yoongi had skipped his morning engagements. Meeting women of noble clans wasn’t exactly the way Yoongi had wanted to spend his morning. Families he couldn’t remember tripping over themselves to catch his attention, begging for their daughter to be the next Empress. It was embarrassing, honestly. Instead, he decided to take Taehyung and Jeongguk's dogs out with him. By order of the Emperor, Yoongi wasn’t supposed to go anywhere alone. Guards were always supposed to be flanking him. But sometimes, a man just needed his own space. The dogs were trained just as well as any royal guard– they were also excellent hunters. Unfortunately, they weren’t always the best listeners. His brothers were far too lenient on the mutts.

He had honestly tried to rein them in when they had spotted the tabby cat trying to sneak its way back into the stables. But they were Poongsan’s, famous Korean hunting dogs. What was he supposed to do? Stop their instincts? If he could act on his own, so could the dogs. Yoongi had hung back, listening to the dog's joyful barking and the cat's pained screeching. It was over quickly, for him at least. But to his surprise, one of the dogs returned with a tiny tiny kitten hanging from its mouth, unscathed. He plucked the tiny thing from the dog's mouth, holding it up to inspect it. It was tiny. Yoongi wasn’t sure if he had ever seen a living thing quite this small.

It was all black except for a tiny white spot between its nose and mouth. The closer he inspected it, he realized it was wounded. A small amount of its ear had been ripped off. Not enough to kill the thing, but what chances does it have without a mother?

Sighing, the prince held the tiny creature out toward the dogs, taunting them. The tiny kitten whined in his grip as he swayed it around, the dog's tails wagging as they watched eagerly. They wanted it, and he would gladly let them fight for it. As he pulled his arm back to throw the creature to the dogs a loud voice caught him off guard.

He turned, raising a scarred brow to the woman. He hadn’t seen her before, but judging from her attire, she was well off. His best guess was she was here to be introduced to him, a prospective bride. She was certainly pretty, but what drew him in was the rage in her eyes. The woman looked positively murderous. Her chest heaved in anger, her hand shaking as she pointed to the rat-like creature in his hand.

“What, this thing?” He questioned innocently, looking down at the newly lowered kitten. He pursed his lips. “No, I don’t think I will.” He grinned, turning back to the dogs that had begun to whine.

The woman let out a sound of anger. Yoongi could practically feel the heat radiating from her body from the few feet away she stood. He could hear her shifting behind him, getting slightly closer, only to freeze when the dogs growled at her.

“My dogs are hungry.” He shrugged, glancing over his shoulder and giving her a lazy smile. Turning back to the dogs he waved the cat around again, reigniting the dog's excitement

“I said, put it down!” She hissed.

A new set of footsteps had caught Yoongi’s attention, but he didn’t bother to look toward it. His heart was beating erratically, a new emotion he wasn’t familiar with pulsing through his veins. It felt similar to excitement, but the word didn’t sit quite right. This wasn’t excitement, thrilling absolutely, but that wasn’t right either. He wasn’t sure there was a word to describe whatever it was that he was feeling. Whatever it is, he wasn’t sure he liked it, but fuck was he already addicted to the feeling.

Yoongi made a move to toss the animal to the dogs, but the moment his shoulders had flexed, the woman seemed to have noticed. Something hard hit the back of his head, a soft thud. It didn’t hurt, but anger filled his veins. In all his years, not a single person (besides maybe his brothers or father) had ever disrespected him in such a way. Who in their right mind throws something at a prince? Let alone their future Emperor.

Yoongi felt possessed, his body moving on his own accord. Soon he stood only inches away from the woman, who only stared back with a hard glare. He could see the way her body trembled, she was scared despite the expression she bore.

“Do you know who I am?” He asked softly, his eyes burning into hers.

The woman's shoulders raised, before dropping back into place. “An ass-”

“Forgive her, your Highness! She is new to the Empire, she is still learning.” Her guard cut in, stepping in front of her, bowing deeply. He kept his gaze to the muddy grounds.

“Then allow me to educate you.” Yoongi gritted out, straightening himself up. “I am the Prince of this empire, the future Emperor, Min Yoongi.”

The woman scoffed, arms crossing over her chest. Her eyes flickers towards the kitten in his hands for a split second, relief seeming to flicker across her features before hardening once again.

“I’ve already met the Princes.” She scoffed, waving a hand around him. “You aren’t one of them.”

The guard groaned, his face paling as he straightened himself up, leaning over to the woman's ear, whispering. Yoongi strained himself trying to hear what he said, but failed. Whatever it was, the woman's face scrunched up for a moment before she turned to face the guard in disbelief.

“You mean to tell me there’s seven of them!”

You felt sick.

You had been horrified at the thought of four princes. That seemed too many, but seven? Somebody needed to castrate the Emperor right this instant.

Your body seemed to act on its own, your back bending, nearly sending you face first into the mud. You may not have had many people to be bowing to over these last few weeks, but your teacher had basically beaten it into you. Bow, bow, bow.

“My apologies, Your Highness.” You gritted out, arms crossed over your stomach.

The man snorted, his empty hand wrapping around the neat bun on top of your head. He pulled your head up into an awkward angle, forcing you to cock your neck in an awkward angle to look up at him. The man grinned, the whites of his teeth and pink of his gums on display. He looked cute, almost childish, and you hated yourself for thinking that. But even you could admit that he was a soft looking man, even with the harsh scar over his brow and eye. It was the dark look swirling in his eyes that alerted you to the fact that this man’s looks were only there for a false sense of security.

“You don’t sound sincere at all.” He frowned, his grip tightening on the tiny kitten in his other hand.

The tiny cry of the kitten had your heart aching. It was true, you weren't apologetic at all. Not even a little bit. This lunatic was about to feed one of Cat’s babies to his dogs! How on earth were you the one having to apologize for his terrible actions?

“Please, accept my sincerest apologies, Prince Yoongi. My behavior was uncalled for, I promise you it will never happen again.” The words tasted bitter on your tongue as you forced the most sincerity into your words as you could.

Your words seemed to have worked, a new look ignited in the prince's eyes as he looked over your face.

“You promise?”

Your stomach churned at the look that flashed across the mans eyes. You weren't entirely sure what it meant, but you were smart enough to know it wasn't good. Min Yoongi set a chill in your blood, he made every cell in your body scream. You had though Prince Namjoon was a man of power, a man of danger. You didn't believe you could fear anymore more than you had feared Namjoon.

Yoongi had proved you wrong.

All you could do was stiffly nod your head, your body physically going against the action.

A grin spread across the mans pink lips, a look of pride in his eyes.

"Good girl."

The timeline is broken 😭

The structure both worked n didn’t work? I think it’s really more for Tully than Vic, cos Vic already has sufficient backstory, n buildup -only a trigger is nec. Esp that late into the last season when we’re eager to see where the characters r going, not where they’ve gone or rehash some things? 704-5 worked well cos there was a balanced focus on the main not guest characters. Also imo flashbacks work better when anchored by familiar events, not vague period of multiple timeframes while jumping back and forth to the present?

I think due to the time crunch they want to condense the indiv arcs into single episodes. Like 703 for Travis with his dad, 706 for Vic & Tully with Morris, 707 for Maya with Mason.

The non-linear structure did allow for building a sense of history with Morris n the emotional impact that came after. It was a better way to incorporate the story of the guest actors, and it allowed for the inclusion of as many of the main cast as possible. The team hasn’t been really like a team since Maya was captain. There hasn't been any sort of real, shared n lasting experiences.

Imagine if we had a format like that that tied a season together, instead of the captainship n political drama, n tonally different n sometimes inconsequential scenes strung together to make up episodes, which went on to make up seasons. 704-6 r better than 701-3 imo, in an already better season, despite some issues. Sadly only upon cancellation r they focusing their resources n efforts to make it more dynamic n cohesive... n we didn't get more much-needed fresh takes from new writers n directors sooner...

We got to see the progression of how Vic came into her own as the leader for Crisis One. How it led to her emotional burnout n compassion fatigue - she truly cared for people, taking on their pain, while not being able to release her own unresolved pain or seek help when she needed it. A reality of mental health professionals, of women, esp woc.

The Travic scenes are the best scenes in a while now. It resonates the most when the writing felt true to the characters. Underneath the goofiness, they tell each other brutally honest truths. Like how they fought over their way to cope with trauma - Travis feeling the full brunt of the grief over Michael's death n struggling to really move on. While Vic quickly tried to move on after Ripley cos to let herself feel the pain fully was impossible. Or when they talked about the blatant racism/ homophobia or microaggressions each faced n how they buried instead of dealing with the pain.

Their friendship is my fav of the show and it took a backseat for a long time. Barrett n Jay have great chemistry n they always crushed it in their scenes - the emotional ones, the funny ones... But Travis hasn't been Travis, Vic hasn't been Vic, n Travic hasn't been Travic. The show tends to put relationships on hold and isolate characters n shoehorn their actions to fit the multiple new storylines they start, but don't always follow thru. A waste of the talent of the actors. When given good material like this, see them shine, case in point - Barrett here.

In a way it also felt like part damage control.

Tully thru Boris's eyes...

A rose-tinted look at a relationship built on conflicts which the show is working around instead of facing head on? Just like how OOC Vic was written in s6 when it came to Maya. It's like they realized they went too far, n now they are retconning instead of ever addressing their attitudes n actions towards Maya.

Filling in some blanks to substantiate their relationship in the lead-up to their wedding? It's valid for the shortened season - to some extent. They had been writing them as very selfish n egoistic people. Now they want to show their better sides to make people like them as a couple ... so the show can end in a big celebration of them? But just showing their good side doesn't work for me if they don't also acknowledge their darker sides.

Basically a chief n a captain ganged up to haze a junior colleague for months. An ex-battalion chief watched on n mocked - the same person who rallied the team behind him n gave him a job when he had none; the same person whose job he tried to steal. But after the extended saga, only Maya should apologize repeatedly?

I find it hard to root for Tully as a couple. The same reason why I don't find Beckett's arc fully earned. If they want to move on, yet keep making Maya be the only one addressing her own actions directly after she faced devastating consequences. While finding other ways to justify/ explain away/ minimize/ ignore/ retcon etc the actions of the others... It just makes for a very conflicting watch.

// b/w the new mayor n Ross? Also is it considered her growth? Since the brief Maya's "sit-down" of immediately shutting her down and calling her insubordinate... To when she later reconsidered and praised Andy about the "mutiny" which she jumped to conclusions to reprimand with no context... To now being okay with insubordination towards her boss cos she thought she was fighting for the right reasons... ?

Is that subtle subtext again? Is it me or is the writing for her confusing? Or is she a conflicted person who's not very self-aware?

#i like merle n boris #but they have better comedic than romantic chemistry?#their 704 coffee scene was gold #the comedy would prob win me over #more than #either declaring undying love for each other #or extended sexy time or kisses #it's more of a love that created chaos all around #than a love despite all odds?#again not angry #kind of tired with the narrative #of “strong female ch”#just given plot armors #instead of acknowledging their complexities as humans #got long again #station 19 comments #station 19

Helluva Boss “He Can Get Hurt” Explained and In Defense Of The Newest Episode

so i was browsing on twitter after the new release of the newest episode, and alot of people where confused about blitz’s reaction to stolas being in the hospital, alot of people kept pointing out how stupid the line was, how it and how episode 4 sucks, ect, i even saw one comment about how helluva boss lost it’s charm?!!, and i’m here to show you exactly why none of that is true at all

1: “He Can Get Hurt” explanation

alot of people where confused by this line because in season 1 ep 5, blitz saved stolas by stopping striker when he was about to kill him, and in seas 1 ep 2, when he was stolas and octavia bodyguard, so the idea of stolas getting hurt shouldn’t be surprised and it was a stupid line

here’s why that’s wrong

blitz isn’t dumb, he is aware at the fact that yes demon royalty are targets for assassination and killings and such, but it’s not something that happens to often, also stolas is someone who always puts up a persona and front, he refused to break in-front of striker, and barely flinched when he was being stabbed with a holy weapons, blitz always viewed stolas an indestructible force, he’s seen was he’s capable of, and how powerful he is, stolas is an all powerful being, and because of how he always dismisses blitz’s rude taunts and remarks, blitz built an image in his head that stolas is someone who is incapable of truly getting hurt

until he did

when millie told him about how stolas got hurt badly, you can see the shock and almost denial on his face, and the “He Can Get Hurt” really sticks to you, because in that moment, when blitz found out stolas got hurt, it humanized stolas for him, it made him realize that stolas can be vulnerable, that he can get hurt, he’s not indestructible and he can die, and the possibility was higher then he thought, he could lose stolas, and that terrifies him, also the shock of something happening to someone you know, like the possibility of them getting hurt in such a way is always shocking, no matter what

2: “The R-word scene”

if you guys remember when blitz was speaking with the drugged out goat lady, blitzo was stretching out the word and said “can’t say that anymore” some people had some issues with this, i however thought it was pretty funny, some people though were upset because the show is supposed to be offensive and they didn’t say the word so their for the show is doubling down on itself, first off the show is offensive, just because they censor or don’t say the word fully doesn’t mean it’s doubling down on itself!!, second, it was supposed to be a funny moment, to me it was supposed to be “breaking the fourth wall” kinda moment, like blitzo knows if he says that word he’s gonna get alot of hate, kinda like how brandon in real life doesn’t say the word in his most recent videos anymore like he used to, i also think it’s a little bit of a reference to that, and i think people took it way to much outta context, i think people are taking it way more seriously then it needs to honestly

3: “The show lost it’s charm, it’s like it doesn’t know the plot anymore ect”

first off, the show JUST started season 2, second, helluva boss is a slow pace, slow burn show, their isn’t supposed to be anything big major character/story development just yet, if you ask me, the show is only getting better and better, like ep 3 is by far their best episode, that episode alone changed my whole view on moxxie in the best way possible and puts season 1 ep 1 in a whole new different light

also another thing, helluva boss is a show where it goes into more depth and you have to look at things more then what your shown, the show is showing subtle hints here and their and you have to make it out, and i love that, it makes everything so much more interesting

also you can’t just judge a show when it just basically started and doesn’t even have an ending yet

2: “Blitz Defense”

alot, and i mean ALOT of people where quick to point out how much of an asshole blitz was to stolas within those text messages and just him in general, but people forget that blitz is like this as a way to protect himself, we’ve seen stolas at his most vulnerable moments, we know stolas loves blitz, but blitz himself doesn’t know that, to him, he’s stolas plaything, a sex toy, nothing more, he’s scared of loving people, he’s scared of intimacy because he’s afraid of getting hurt, so he pushes people away before they can hurt him, which is what he’s doing with stolas, because he doesn’t think stolas truly cares about him, and even though he tries to pretend he doesn’t, blitz does feel something for stolas, he cares about him, if he didn’t he wouldn’t have been worried about him over the phone and he sure as hell wouldn’t have sent a text message, i don’t know if i would say blitz loves stolas just yet, but i do think he at least likes him, i personally see this as a “stolas fell first but blitz fell harder” kinda thing

#helluva boss blitz #Helluva Boss #helluva boss season 2 #helluva boss season 2 episode 4 #stolas #stolas goeita #stolas x blitzo #blitzo #blitzø #stolitz #stolas x blitz #stolas x blitzø #helluvaboss #ya'll need to chill out #twitter is full of hates geez

we gotta see more of kaita/beth's world, like I would kill for a fleshed out webcomic about it

Perhaps one day. In the meantime, you can generally check out the masterlist for any robot characters that aren't merch mimics; while they all technically take place in the same world, Kaita and most robots exist more in the future where mega-corporations made the mistake of relying too much on automation, and wound up letting the robots come up with ideas to handle things like R&D and logistics, since it was essentially free labor and cheaper than hiring human talent.

This lead to the robots self-optimizing into hidden sentience and building their own offshore factory islands and mini-continents to "assist in manufacturing and shipping", before suddenly turning into independent cooperatives against the wishes and commands of their former owners upon gaining enough economic leverage. Kaita herself was not built by a corporation, but nonetheless wound up making her home on a large mechanical island made out of beached aircraft carriers in the pacific ocean known as Mecha Pacifica, a center of robot-culture and commerce where more quirky and human-like robots tend to live.

You can imagine there's a plethora of different politics and happenings in this setting, along with a kind of "wild west" aspect to Kaita traveling and shipping around the islands and finding out what kinds of factions run which areas. The biggest cooperatives don't fight each other, but smaller islands are sometimes like Rapture from Bioshock, with their own crazy groups of robots, humans, or genetic chimeras running things according to a variety of ideologies, and to varying degrees of success. Most have to trade with each other in some capacity though, so few places are truly lawless or purely anarchic.

Add the fact that mimics are in fact still a thing in this setting, and you have a literal sci-fantasy kitchen sink where i can just pull any type of character out of my ass and plop then down anyway I want into whatever setting I want, which is also why I can only at most provide snapshots into different parts of their world through smaller stories

Susie Haltmann headcanons

I could basically start this series of tumblr posts where I talk about general headcanons for singular characters of the Kirby series. There's some Kirby characters that I have a LOT of headcanons for, and Susie is one of them. Why not go over many of my headcanons for her right here? Allow me to get started!

Putting a 'Keep reading' tag because it's gonna be a long one.

I mean, Susie is fun to make a lot of headcanons about! Everything underneath the keep reading tag is purely headcanons of mine.

After Planet Robobot's events, Susie has essentially been trying to improve and better herself. Not perfect, as she still certainly has some morality flaws, but better than how she was in Robobot.

She's still corporate-minded, and she still likes to throw money and science at things as her way to solve problems. But she's reconciled with Kirby, and is trying to make up for her past wrongdoings by reviving the Haltmann Works Company and working to shifting it into a better direction and no longer the monster it once became.

Unlike Magolor who moved to living in Planet Popstar after reconciling with Kirby, Susie doesn't ever move to living in the star shaped planet. Instead, she lives in a different planet. Her home planet is where the HWC's main base of operations resides. It's a bit far away from Popstar, but not terribly far away. Kirby and a few others are more than capable of visiting her at her home planet, and she can visit Popstar. She has fast interstellar transportation.

As Susie revives the HWC and become its new CEO, she turns the company's new goal into consensually helping and supplying planets with technology without tampering with their natural resources.

That was the original goal of the company. It was what her father originally wanted to do, and he was going to use Star Dream for that very purpose until everything fell apart with the incident that banished Susie to Another Dimension. Haltmann did not originally plan to mechanize planets, as the only reason he did that was because Star Dream ate up his mind and turned him into its puppet, making him comply with the mechanization plan.

Susie remembers what her father's original goal was, and honors his original desires by shifting the company into that very direction when she revives it. She's doing this without Star Dream, and she refuses to rebuild another machine like that, because she wants absolutely nothing to do with a machine similar to the one that ruined her life.

That she's shifting the company towards the goal that her father initially wanted is also to make up for accidentally causing his death…

Her relationship with her dad is quite complicated. She did build up a lot of resentment towards him for how he treated her when she came back from Another Dimension, and she did have some relief that she finally feels more free after being hamstrung so much when she was working as his secretary. That did have some effect on her mourning.

But at the same time, she really did care enough to try to get him back to normal. She hated what he became, but she thought she was able to save him. When he died, she does truly miss him despite all the resentment she's built up. That being said, what she really misses is her actual dad, and not the freak that was Star Dream's puppet.

She's felt horribly ashamed of herself for killing her dad. When she stole the Star Dream controller, her intention was to humiliate him and maybe even make him cry a bit as revenge for neglecting her so much, but she didn't want to actually hurt him, let alone kill him.

She's had legitimately painful grief over her father's death. She was trying her absolute hardest to get him back to his former self, only to then accidentally kill him instead. She's harbored so much guilt over it. For a while after accidentally killing him, she wasn't able to forgive herself and has even expressed self-hatred over it.

Susie was absolutely not well during the first several months after Robobot's ending. She has cried a lot. It pretty much required becoming friends with Kirby to start improving her mood. Becoming friends with Kirby did actually help, as it did give her some relief to finally have a friend for once in her life, as she hasn't cared about or been cared about by anyone in 10+ years. Kirby is her very first friend.

She's been really afraid of the probability that her dad, in his original mind, wouldn't forgive her for causing his death. This is the biggest reason why she's been really struggling to forgive herself. She's really been trying to make up for his death. She'll always keep that hair clip as a memento of him, and like stated above, she's operating the HWC into doing the original goal her dad wanted.

She thought that after accidentally killing him, the least she can do is to work towards his original desires to make up for it. She's also spearheaded the creation of a statue of him at the HWC's main base of operations. It's a metallic statue, and they paint it.

After doing things to make up for his death, she hopes that her dad in his right mind would forgive her, but she's never been truly assured that he would. That being said, she does sometimes make herself relieved when she does the things she does to make up for his death, but the worry never fully goes away. Some people have tried to convince her that her dad would forgive her, but she's never certain.

Some of the work that Susie has the HWC do under her control includes mass producing phones, computers, robotic toys and statues to give to numerous planets. The company also has a paramedic faction to heal people from injuries! She's having the HWC play around into doing a large number of different things.

She also offers to form Haltworker militias to some planets to protect them. These militias aren't to invade, as they do not harm the planets' denizens and don't intend to take their resources, and instead only mean to protect them from malicious outer forces. Susie still uses words like 'savages', but she no longer uses them to refer to a planet's denizens and instead uses them to refer to outer evil beings, the same kind of enemies that Kirby and others fight. During Star Allies, Susie called the Jambastion cult as 'savages' when they were the enemy, until they turned around in the end.

Many people in some planets are very wary about this technology and don't really want anything to do with it. Others, however, enjoy it, especially when some of those planets were formerly mechanized and are appreciative to see the company not be so bad anymore.

Who are Susie's friends in my headcanon universe, might you ask? They are the following: Kirby, Magolor, Taranza, the mage sisters, Gooey and ChuChu.

With the exceptions of Gooey and ChuChu as they generally don't leave Popstar, the rest sometimes visit Susie at her home planet. They'll even stop by at her office to hang around.

She's also made phones that she gave to Magolor, Taranza and the mage sisters, so she can talk to them whenever without having to constantly move around back and forth to do so.

Her three closest friends are Kirby, Magolor and Taranza. I've already made separate tumblr posts on her dynamics on how she interacts with Kirby, as well as how she interacts with Magolor and Taranza, so I'm not going to go in full detail over them again in here.

I will however mention that while Magolor is the friend that Susie likes to troll around with, both Kirby and Taranza are her two emotional support buddies (with her doing the same for Taranza). Those two have been kinder to her and have comforted her more than anyone else has. They've constantly defended her from others accusing her as a bad person, as they always say she deserves a second chance as she's trying to be better. They've gone out of their way time and time again to provide support for her. She really, genuinely, appreciates the both of them. She treasures them.

Considering she's been having serious mental well-being problems, Kirby and Taranza have done so much for her. Without them, she'd be in a dark place as far as her mental health is concerned. Despite her often liking to be rather stoic, there are times where she can't help herself but feel serious emotion over the kindness those two have shown to her. She's felt moody and unhappy a lot, and she's really thankful that those two have been trying their best to help make her feel better. She's even willing to have hugs with them.

Speaking of which, I really should talk about hugs here. Susie has gone through so long without any hugs. Her mind-controlled father didn't give her any hugs when she returned from Another Dimension. How heartbreaking! But at least she finally gets hugs after Robobot. Kirby has given her a lot of needed hugs, as has Taranza. These hugs really do help her. She doesn't hug anyone else, though, as she doesn't care enough to, but it's perfectly good enough for her to get hugs from only Kirby and Taranza. That's exactly how she likes it.

Of the mage sisters, Zan Partizanne is the one that Susie is closest friends with, followed by Flamberge. This makes Francisca the one she's most distant from, but still considers her to be a friend.

Zan is the most technology-competent of the mages, which Susie really likes, and the two have also come together over their trauma and being workaholics. Susie engages in a mutual troll-around relationship with Flamberge, similarly to how she acts with Magolor. Francisca isn't as interactive, and Susie honestly can't help herself but still feel a bit unsettled by the ice mage's frozen corpse collection. But there's still that element of endearment where the pink-haired girl and the blue-haired girl lovably view each other as weirdos.

Gooey is similar to Kirby and Taranza in that he's also very nice to Susie, although he's not as close as those two since Susie really only sees him when she vacations on Popstar. At first, she was rather weirded out by Gooey until she kept seeing more and more of him. She's warmed up to him, and likes how nice and mute he is. Whenever she relaxes on some bench during one of her Popstar vacations, she welcomes Gooey to relax with her. She considers him a friend. He does make her more curious about Dark Matter, though.

Susie thinks that ChuChu is absolutely adorable. She's glad to see the little octopus whenever she vacations on Popstar. These two pink girls do cute pink girl things together, with ChuChu often riding on Susie's head with her consent. The other animal friends are good with Susie as they don't have hard feelings about her, but ChuChu is the only one she's actually close enough to consider a real friend.

Everyone else that isn't a part of the list I mentioned as Susie's friends is either on neutral or bad terms with her. Examples of people that Susie is on neutral terms with are King Dedede, Adeleine, Ribbon and the other animal friends that aren't ChuChu.

Dedede was pissed off at her at first because of how his castle was destroyed by the Access Ark, but he's warmed up after seeing more and more of her as she's been on good terms with Kirby. Not close enough for Susie to actually consider a friend, though.

You'd probably want to know how I interpret Susie's dynamic with Meta Knight. I'll say it here: for the first couple of years after Robobot, Meta Knight despised Susie. However, his hatred for her has slowly been chipping away over time. Eventually, he no longer actually hates her, but he's still rather conflicted about her as he has yet to actually properly forgive her. At the modern day of my headcanon universe, Meta Knight is basically neutral with Susie, although it's more tense compared to Dedede who is still easier on her by comparison.

Even though he hated her for a while, he's allowed Kirby to pursue a friendship with her. That played a part in slowly getting over his hatred of her. Even though he never properly forgave her, he has witnessed her trying to be a better person compared to before and did give her credit for that. He'd still prefer to not interact with her any more than he has to, though.

He did have an earnest talk with her, as it was basically about how he's fine with her being around Kirby and others, but prefers that she stays away from the Halberd crew. She complies as she'd rather not potentially jeopardize the existing friendships she has by pushing her luck with Meta Knight. She did apologize, and although he hasn't actually forgiven, he no longer has ill-will for her after some point.

People that Susie are on bad terms with even now are Bandana Waddle Dee, Elfilin, Daroach, Dark Meta Knight and especially Marx.

Bandana Dee and Elfilin hate her and don't trust her, and they don't like how Kirby is her friend. They think she's playing him like a fiddle, although they think Magolor is doing that as well.

Elfilin in particular is scared of her. He thought she shouldn't be allowed to visit the Forgotten Land, but Kirby wanted her to visit the place, and with enough convincing, Elfilin eventually begrudgingly allowed it. Her visit went well, since she just wanted to check the place out, and she was stoked to see Kirby having a gun as a copy ability. She managed to get along decently with Clawroline, although how she interacted with others of the Beast Pack is nothing special.

I really should talk about Marx here. Susie absolutely despises Marx. She hates his guts. There are few people she hates as much as Marx. This is because he does awful things to her, including pulling pranks that sometimes harm her, and doing especially vile things such as making fun of her father's death. He's caused her to violently lash out. One time, she viciously beat the shit out of him as revenge for messing with her so much. She is also disgusted at how he bullies her buddy Taranza very similarly to how he bullies her, causing both Susie and Taranza to form a "Marx hate club". Neither of them can stand him.

Magolor may have also pulled pranks on Susie, but he never wants to actually hurt her as he doesn't want to ruin his friendship with her. Marx however doesn't care, as he's willing to harm Susie if it means getting entertainment out of it. Magolor and others have had to stop Susie and Marx from going for each other's throats a lot. You just can't have these two near each other for too long, as Susie will snap. If she were to never see Marx again, she'd be grateful.

I think that all wraps up on how Susie interacts with the rest of the notable cast, in my headcanons. Overall, she's on Kirby's good side, although her relationship with Meta Knight is still very complicated and there's some other notable members in the cast she doesn't get along with, with her worst relationship being with Marx.

As she's the current president of the HWC, she takes vacations sometimes. Her most common vacation spot is by far Planet Popstar, as most of her friends live there. She also gets along pretty well with many waddle dees across Dream Land (not Bandana Dee, though). There's one particular ice cream shop that she goes to just about every time she vacations on Popstar, and at this point she's gotten to know the Chilly snowman individual that works there.

Somebody makes artwork for her company. It's not Adeleine doing it, though, as instead it's a Vividria individual who is a big fan of Susie. Susie was going to pay her money to make artwork, until the Vividira made it clear she wanted to do it anyways without being paid, and Popstar also doesn't even run on currency as Susie had to learn. She certainly appreciates this Vividria making artwork for her, as she'll take the art to the necessary places within her company. There's a reason why I have this headcanon of a Vividria individual being a big Susie fan, and it's because of the Susie goddess statue in Star Allies. That statue itself also exists in my headcanon world, to show how much that Vividria admires Susie, lmao.

Popstar isn't the only planet Susie has vacationed on, though. She and Taranza once went together on a vacation to Aqua Star, one of the planets that appeared in Kirby 64. She also, of course, visited the Forgotten Land with her fellow wave 3 companions.

Speaking of her vacation in the Forgotten Land, the Deedly Dees band invited her to sing for them one time. She did karaoke for the "Welcome To The New World!" song after she learned its lyrics.

As far as post-Robobot Susie's singing is concerned, she hasn't sung "The Noble Haltmann" ever since her father died. The whole reason she wrote (yes, she wrote it!) and sung that song in the first place was because it was one of her methods to try to get her father to remember her, which of course tragically failed. Now, there's no real reason to sing it. Really sad! But she'll do karaoke for songs that people request her to do. She had a "karaoke night" with Taranza and Magolor one time, because they wanted to see her singing.

Her vacations are her moments to chill out and relax. She works a lot when she's at her job. She knows she sometimes need moments to take a breather and relax. That's why she takes vacations! Even though she does take phone calls from her friends while she's at work, as they sometimes call her just to see how she's doing.

There's a little ice cream place in her home planet, at the HWC's main base of operations. The company made it so Susie can just go there whenever she wants ice cream immediately. She also lets her friends have ice cream there whenever they come to visit her.

The 'Susie Weekend Outfit' mask from Merry Magoland is indeed an outfit that Susie likes to wear on some weekends. She makes herself some nice and cozy relaxing time on the weekends.

Now I should mention the history of Susie's birthdays. It is... tragic. She went through most of her birthdays uncelebrated. How could she have possibly celebrated her birthdays when she was stuck in Another Dimension? She didn't, because she couldn't. Her birthdays still went uncelebrated when she returned, because her mind-controlled dad refused to let them be celebrated. Big sad.

But that changed post-Robobot after she became friends with Kirby. Kirby is such a friend in that he asks people what they do on their birthdays. He asked this to Susie and... got a response that made him really sad. He felt like she deserved better, and so he literally made sure that her birthdays go celebrated from now on. She was hesitant at first because she wasn't used to it, but she eventually relented and became so heartfelt about what Kirby has done in now finally having her birthdays be celebrated. She couldn't believe it at first.

Susie's birthdays have eventually evolved into birthday parties at her home. Kirby, Magolor, Taranza and the mage sisters show up for her in these parties. The first time this happened, it made Susie cry. It really made her emotional to see some people show up together for her, because it hasn't happened to her in forever. She gave Kirby a big thank-you hug for making these little parties be a thing for her now.

I'd say that wraps up the headcanons I wanted to go over for Susie! Man, I had quite a huge amount of headcanons here, don't I? I mean, yeah. Susie is fun! She's one of my favorites. Thank you if you've chosen to read all this, hahahahaha.

I'll do this with other Kirby characters, too. I'm already eyeballing to do this with either Marx or Magolor next, as I also have tons of headcanons for them. Taranza as well! But for now, you get Susie.

I look forward to seeing you for future Kirby series headcanons!

The bleakness of the apartment swallowed you up.

The walls hung with distant memories and past emotions crying for you to reach out again, to him. The door crashed open, a minute reaction was all that came to you.

“You’re late again.” The words could barely cross the barrier of your lips. You were hesitant to say something. Afraid for the response, afraid for the fight, maybe even afraid of Isagi himself. What this relationship had become, what he’d become.

“You know I’ve been at practice.”

The cheers coming from the TV almost blocked the annoyance that radiated from his voice. His tone was business formal as usual, one couldn’t even think you were anything more than acquaintances.

“I know but why are you back at 10pm…practice ends at 6?” The words jumbled in your mouth, tears pooling and threatening to spill as they always do.

Both of you knew the answer to the question, the very question which continued to wreck your thoughts. The question not an ounce of reassurance could overcome, the goliath that wouldn’t fall in your relationship, the very plague filling your head with delusions. The trophies lining the wall made sure of that.

For the first time in this bleak night you faced the man you came to love all those moons ago. Your very own starboy, all grown up. Different but the same, yours but just quite out of reach. Broken, choked sobbing was all that came out at sight of his defiant self in front of you. Steadying yourself you mumbled, “Am I even enough for you?”

Finally, at your words his stoic facade fell away.

“What?”

Dumbfoundness was all Isagi could muster. The porcelain walls around your relationship finally seemed to splinter under all the pressure, the truth waiting to burst through.

“Am I enough, Starboy?”

Starboy, the nickname Isagi got all those many moons ago, originally represented your love for him and his dream and your love for each other. It was meant to show his potential to go the same very stars up in the night sky, to help him believe it. However, now it was a remnant of the past, a forgotten relic of another time. Some time ago the nickname was scrapped because of a fight that occurred because of the same reason as this, you found it nothing but ironic.

His quiet demeanour caught you off guard, so you asked again.

“Am I truly enough for you?”

Were you this repulsive to him? Did he want to see you fall this low, the absurdity of it all made you scoff while fat tears slid down your cheeks.

As desperately as you wanted the answer to be yes, that you were enough and he loved you, no matter how much you needed it, you both knew the reply. The silence that came next knocked the wind out of you. This meticulous world you built collapsed around you, no catharsis, just an endless stream of grief and betrayal flooded in.

“I KNEW IT YOU SHITTY BASTARD!”

Your screams echoed against the walls, the same apartment that was supposed to be the first stepping block in your relationship. The sight for some time had started to make you feel sick, it reminded you of promises he had never tried to fulfil for you. You didn’t know what to do, whether to cry and scream or fall in a heap on the floor, rip everything in sight apart?

Where did everything go wrong you wondered, what had you done that made you deserve this, what karma was this fulfilling. In blue lock Isagi unlocked his ego, his insatiable hunger for football– for winning. But of course, why on earth would that ring alarm bells for a dumb girl who was completely infatuated and lovestruck? Isagi was your world, his dream was equally yours. You’d let go of so much, the long practices, the missed dinners, the heated arguments over football, but no they weren't the worst. That wasn’t what broke you.

October 21, you fell down the stairs, the date of one of Isagi’s team matches and landed up in the hospital. The first thing you woke up to was not your attentive and loving boyfriend who you would have dropped everything for. But, Isagi captivated by the TV, almost as pale as the walls with anxiety, but not because of you in the hospital gown bandaged up but because of the fact his team was losing.

“Why today?” You vividly remember him saying.

Deep down you knew he was actually angry with you for getting hurt and taking him away from the game, and for a split second while bandaged up in a hospital bed you wanted to feel guilty for causing a blip in his winning streak for this season. You never forgot those two words; they tore your soul apart, and every day after your love for Isagi spilled out with nowhere to go.

Eventually, there just wasn’t any left.

It was apparent that football was Isagi's love in life and you would only be a fool to try and measure up to it.

small town AU where:

Scott and Melissa moved there after losing the house during the divorce and she's working at the rural clinic while he's working under Dr. Deaton.

Stiles is still the kid of a sheriff and the sheriff's department takes care of beacon hills as well as the surrounding other small towns in the county :)

Four words, Livestock Veterinarian Alan Deaton! Four more bonus words Livestock Veterinary Assistant Scott!!! A bunch of more words Deaton and Scott with cute little baby farm animals!!!!!!!!

(if i truly had the energy to do so, i would love to continue writing my livestock vet Scott + farmhand Stiles fic, but that's a different AU)

Derek Hale is a city kid turned farmhand on an old man's farm (the old man in question is Elias, Stiles' grandfather)(and to the question why is Stiles or his father working at the farm is because 1. Elias lets his son work as a sheriff because whatever and 2. Stiles is a walking disaster no way is he letting that boy in charge of farm chores nuh uh not even on a lazy almost fall summer day where there's not much than the usual morning feeding also 3. Derek was only hired after Elias accepted that he was not as young and capable as he used to be and Noah and Stiles put themselves in charge of finding a farmhand)(Derek was the only one to send in a reply to their job ad) and the farm primarily raises sheep for meat and wool but I'd like to think that after Derek started working there a few years back he'd regularly add in new animals every summer or so. Sometimes he'd raise poultry, sometimes it's a small drove of pigs, sometimes it's not even animals but just a crop of pumpkins and squash and tomatoes and cucumbers!!

Derek loves the sheep. He's a shepherd through and through.

Jackson is not a whittemore but a miller, except his parents just died a bit later into his life and he lives with the whittemores on their large scale hay farm where there's an added bonus (to me)! h o r s e s !!!!

(all of this is just a way for me to write my fav characters interacting with my longest running obsession of all time, horses)

Lydia's mother owns the town's bistro/bar, her father owns the lodge built next to it. It used to be a whole business but it split with the divorce but there's still the whole B&B package deal to this day as it's wayyyyy too popular to risk losing business by stopping it.

Allison moved there pretty recently and the guns business her family owns fits in pretty well with the need for safety of the farmer and their livestock from predators and also for the wild game hunters in the late summer through fall hunting season.

Scott and Lydia bonding over being two kids from a divorced family. Scott and Lydia bonding over having pet dogs (Roxy is alive and Prada and her are absolute besties). Scott and Lydia being partners in science projects. Scott and Lydia spending wayy too long staring into each others eyes than how much friends would. Scott and Lydia realizing they want to be more than friends.

Stiles spouting off cool animal facts that Scott 100% already knew but acts like he didn't because both of them are stupidly in love with each other.

Scott meeting Derek when on the job. He can't help but crush over Derek and his enthusiasm over regenerative agricultural practices.

Jackson trying to impress Scott and Stiles by trotting up and down the main street on his horse. (I live laugh love by my Scott/Stiles/Jackson agenda) He also gets his dad to bring his horse over to school so he can just ride on it back home, in hopes of impressing Scott and Stiles but Scott is too invested in Stiles animal facts that they only way Jackson really has a chance was when Scott came over with Deaton for an emergency check up on a rogue cow on their property that was limping bad. Jackson straight up embarasses himself because he's a loser :P but Scott finds the attempt endearing and asks if he'd want to hang out with him and Stiles. It's the beginning of a slippery slope of 'Oh. Oh.' realizations for the three of them.

Scott and Allison meeting each other at the bistro and it starts a blossoming relationship that tugs at the heartstrings. It's cute little notes during class and hanging out at the bistro over hot chocolate even on hot days and going over to each others house to watch TV to cuddle under the same blanket and quick glances at each other and it's so goshdarn cute.

BASICALLY, SCOTT/EVERYONE because I can't choose which ship to go with this au because Scott DESERVES everyone and everyones ALSO DESERVES Scott :D

On the topic of Sebastian being completely enthralled about everything Ciel is, I personally love it so much more knowing manga context, because O!Ciel was the 'spare'. He was not supposed to carry the family nane and, frankly, people didn't think he'd be capable of it due to his poor health anyway (Remember Frances and Vincent's conversation in the flashback chapters? It's obvious O!Ciel was quite saddened by what he heard).

By all means, in a twisted way, Sebastian might just be the first person to regard O!Ciel as someone deeply capable, a shiny singularity that doesn't live in anyone's shadow. The adults around him were - tho not unrightfully - seeing his fragility first and foremost while his brother, despite seeing him as worthy, didn't wish for him to leave and forge his own path. R!Ciel's reaction came from childishness sure, but that isn't to say that it didn't feed into the idea that O!Ciel was 'his backup'.

Going off from this, Sebastian is also the one thing in his life and is irrevocably his. Again, twisted, but all O!Ciel built has been under another's name. The manor, the company, the engagement etc. None of them truly his, but his brother's. And the other servants? They are loyal, however ultimately their own people. Sebastian? In an entirely different spot. He'll be there until the end after all.

This is an aspect of their relationship that tugs at my heartstrings so much. It's so toxic and depressing yet strangely soft and tender somewhat at least to me.

Sorry, I just really wanted to pour my thoughts and I appreciate your posts. So here I am!

anon, i’m in love with you

i literally think about this all the time like. that conversation frances and vincent had? imo vincent just flippantly saying "i guess ill just have to give the estate back to the queen lmao" could be taken 2 ways which is: at face value OR (what i think is more likely) vincent just saying what he knows will piss frances off to get her to stop talking. tbh vincent seems like a good dad imo and like he doesnt super underestimate o!ciel (he seemed absolutely fine with the idea of o!ciel going off to london by himself and opening a toy store in the future), but he DOES know that o!ciel is frail and sickly, and it makes me wonder how seriously he considered the idea that o!ciel might inherent the title of the queen's watchdog.

honestly, i feel in some respects, r!ciel treats o!ciel more carefully than their parents. he very much has an attitude of "my baby brother NEEDS me, he cannot survive without me!!" (gasps and shock, to learn it is actually the other way around /s)

all this to say, whether you lean more towards my interpretation or yours, or a fun mix, or whatever, it is undeniable that all of o!ciel's relationships were 'tainted' (for lack of a better term) by his illness and the way it made others view him and treat him.

AND THEN COMES SEBASTIAN

sebastian, who takes one look at o!ciel, and goes "lmao what a fucked up lil dude. time for little a snacky". sebastian, who then sits down to forge a contract with said little dude only to realize Oh Okay So This Child Is Clever. And o!ciel being sickly does kind of come up when they're making the contract, but sebastian focuses more on the actual logistics of that and o!ciel says 'nvm we'll deal w it when it comes up' (which is hilarious imo. he really said a sudden chill can put me on my deathbed but thats a problem for future me).

and then it turns out o!ciel is hella sheltered. but also a huge bitch.

and at this point, all i can assume is sebastian is so bewildered by this experience that the fact that o!ciel is frail and sickly and fragile is like. just another thing about this kid. o!ciel has never made sebastian's life easy and it would be stupid to think he would start now, sebastian thinks as his young master suffers from yet another cold just bc it rained yesterday. "i never knew you had asthma" says sebastian, who has read every medical journal to date on chest colds. "you never asked," says the bane of sebastian's existence.

and the thing is you can say "sebastian is only worried about o!ciel bc if o!ciel dies, he loses his meal" which is true and accurate and tbh if i was sebastian and i had put up w that much, i wouldn't want to lose my meal to a mere cough.

BUT ALSO

then you see the way sebastian is so fascinated and intrigued and bewitched by o!ciel. i think to sebastian the fact that o!ciel is frail and sickly is just another contradiction in the sea of contradictions that makes o!ciel so fascinating. and i think sebastian is the only one who really sees all those contradictions, he's the only one who sees everything that makes up o!ciel. and he loves what he finds.

(not to mention the fact that sebastian is the only person o!ciel allows to see his every aspect. or, well, some he tries to hide, but only because he thinks sebastian will try to use something against him. either way, sebastian is still the only person who he lets see the most of him. because sebastian is the only person who knows who he really is, who he doesnt have to put up a front for. he doesn't have to pretend to be his brother, he doesn't have to worry about being the spare.)

Hi I hope this isn’t rude I just want to understand your approach to kibbe is all but what determines a type for you ultimately comes down to their energy then? Like the sort of image they present? Or temperament ig

that does play a role for sure but its important to consider their face and body together, not separate from each other. the word "image" you used is correct but let me explain.

let's compare Angelina Jolie & Alicia Vikander who both played Lara Croft

Angie has something to her that makes her very convincing in action roles. Like you genuinely believe she could kick your ass. She's slim but still very tough looking.

Alicia is more delicate, dainty, soft and petite looking. She looks like someone you need to protect.

Any body who looks convincing in an action role is easily a Natural type (Jolie is a verified FN)

I suspect Alicia to be a Soft Classic

these 3 women are all verified Flamboyant Naturals

(L to R, Angelina Jolie, Cindy Crawford & Shirley McClaine)

Its hard to say they all project the same "image". Imo Naturals are the most common type as well as the most diverse, if you look at the list of verified FNs & SNs you see people who look very different from each other. This is not so much the case for Rs, TRs & SDs.

AJ has Romantic, Dramatic & Ethereal Essence

Cindy has Romantic, Natural & Classic Essence

Shirley has Romantic, Gamine & Classic Essence

Nobody would ever cast them for the same role. They do not project the same image.

Naturals are the most common because MOST people don't look good in heavy makeup & styling, or have waspish waist definition. MOST people have wider torsos and a Natural like build. The reason why lesser common IDs dominated the entertainment industry in the 20th century is because you had to be truly unique and distinct from others in order to be a "star". From the 90s onwards with the rise of supermodels, who are almost always FNs btw, Naturals became far more represented in the media but since this type can facially look very different from each other, its not always understood in terms of "image identity". Diet & exercise culture promoted the Natural ideal because they are the ones who can have a lean yet athletic built and suit the kind of clothes that fast fashion companies sell. There is a reason why jeans and tshirts are the most common articles of clothing in this world. They are most flattering on Natural types.

Most VS Angels are FNs

Fashion houses hire models who have a "rectangular build" (their words not mine) because of the way they carry the clothes; the focus remains on the clothes not on their body or silhouette. They don't need clothes tailored to fit them because they're frame dominant.

with someone like Liz Taylor (verified R) or Salma Hayek (verified TR) the focus will always be on their body and not the clothes themselves. This makes curve dominant women unsuitable for high fashion where they have to sell clothes not themselves.

Anyways, coming back to my point. Certain people are extreme caricaturish examples of their ID. Some are less so. Individual essences can also make typing more complicated. At the end of the day, every individual is unique and its important to consider their individuality (vibes, body, face, mannerisms) before settling on an ID.

If you read Metamorphosis by David Kibbe, he speaks of yin-yang & IDs in an almost spiritual, metaphysical way. Its very interesting. Maybe I'll post some excerpts from his book one of these days. But I highly recommend reading it!! The whole concept of Kibbe is about using styling to accurately project who you are as a person and like Claire Nakti makes connections regarding how different nakshatras manifest physically in a person, there is a correlation between one's appearance and one's inward nature.

I hope this clarified some things.

TW TW TW MC with an Eating Disorder

TRIGGER WARNING: EATING DISORDER, FOOD MENTION

Request: I know you literally just wrote something about MC losing their appetite cuz they're sick, but what about when they have an eating disorder?I want to see the brothers reaction to finding out about MC actively st@rv!ng themself because food is repulsive.

Hello my loves, please don’t read this if you feel it’s going to upset you or make you feel bad about yourself. You are wonderful and loved and cared for. I’ve also tried to keep this kinda vague especially in regards to how the brothers try and help because certain things will work for some and not others.

PLEASE SKIP THIS IF YOU FEEL READING IT WILL BE DETRIMENTAL TO YOUR OWN HEALTH OR RECOVERY

_____________

Pairing: Brothers x gn!MC

Word Count: 2036

_____________

Lucifer notices when your routines change, or rather when you go from following the pretty standard routine of, wake up, go to RAD, come home etc. to strict and carefully calculated. Waking up earlier than anyone in the house and going to the gym for exercise, making sure to eat breakfast before any of the boys wake up and get to the table (so they can’t see how little you’re actually eating), going to RAD, then going back to the gym with Beel before coming home. Whenever you cook he’s witnessed you meticulously weighing out every single ingredient no matter how small, he’s also noticed the tiny portions you eat at dinner.

Whenever he asks you you retort back with, “I’m a human, I don’t need to eat as much as you guys do.” BUt your answers don’t convince him. Sometimes when he notices you reading in the library he’ll try and bring you a snack just so you eat something else in the day. He thought he’d managed to get you to eat something, however he began noticing the snacks being thrown out of windows or tossed into the bin rather than actually eaten by you, at which point he began keeping an extremely close eye on your routine.

Mammon notices when you start taking his mean remarks seriously. Mammon has always been the type to hide the way he truly feels, and like a kid on the playground he hides the fact he has a huge amount of love and adoration for you by throwing insults around. That being said, you’re also his human and he’s never taken it too far in his mind. He just calls you an idiot here and there and maybe sprinkles in a few “Don’t be stupid, why would the Great Mammon love a human?” When someone else asks him about you. Up until recently though, you laugh off his remarks, you can tell how he actually feels about you from the pink hue that frequently graces his face whenever he speaks to you, but now things are different.

Mammon threw another insult your way, expecting you to counter back with a glare or an equal quip, however he watched as you flinched slightly and your face dropped. The silence that followed between you was deafening as you looked down and continued with the work you were doing. This, of course, freaked Mammon out. He hadn’t hit you with anything worse than what he usually did, so why did you seem so hurt? When he built up the courage to ask if you were okay, you just replied with, “huh… oh yeah, why wouldn’t I be?” before packing up your things and walking away so he didn’t see the tears that were forming in your eyes. You could not handle being made fun of anymore and being hurt by the guy that claimed in the past that he’d always look ourt fo r you.

Leviathan notices when you become even more reserved and shy than you were when you first came to the Devildom. Let’s be real you can't expect to be an outgoing and friendly human when you’re faced with the most powerful demons in existence, and especially not when you’re forced to live with them, but of course you had a way in making the best of a bad situation, which is why the all loved and respected you so much. So why now had you reverted back into the MC you were on your first day, shy, reserved and quiet. Why weren’t you yelling at Levi, claiming he cheated in order for the win, in your latest game of DevilKart? Why weren’t you outspoken and brash about the absolute monstrosity that was the latest release of the anime you had both been watching together? yelling about how it had absolutely turned into a grimm grab?

The next time Levi invites you to his room he makes more of an effort to ask you for your opinion, he tries to coax the personality he knows so well out of you, but you still remain the same as the last time he saw you. Almost as if you don’t want to disappoint him with the ‘wrong’ opinion. Everything you say around him is now carefully and meticulously calculated in an attempt to be agreeable with everything he says. In his mind he can’t understand why as he loves the discussions that your different opinion offers, but in your mind it’s because you can’t face someone else being disappointed with who you are and how you act, so you continue to stay silent and only speak back to him when spoken to.

Satan notices when he finds you in the library reading books about autonomy, science and the human body. More specifically he finds you reading a book about nutrition and weight loss. There aren’t any sort of classes on this subject at RAD so why would you be reading about that? It doesn’t help your case when you slam the book shut as soon as you realise you’re being observed, as if you’re doing something you don’t want him to see. When he asks you what you’re reading about you give him a sweet smile and tell him it’s nothing to worry about before briskly walking out of the library and back to your room.

After you’ve left he takes a closer look at the books you left on the table in your rush to leave and sees that all of the books focus on the same topics, you could argue with him that it’s just something you’re interested in but he knows you well enough to know you’d usually do anything but reading non-fiction books, so why would you start now? And why would it be about these topics in particular? He begins to worry more when he realises you’ve book marked particular pages about food, how it affects the body and how much of it you could feasibly live off just to keep you alive instead of to keep you healthy.

Asmodeus notices when he takes you to a new café to get the perfect picture for his Devilgram feed. Usually you would be so excited to go with him and try and find the best, most photogenic treat to please his followers, but you didn’t seem that excited about the idea of going to the new place, even though it was currently on the top 10 list for the hottest food places in the Devildom. In fact you only ended up agreeing to go when you saw Asmo’s face drop into a frown when at first you declined his offer and suggested Solomon as a replacement.

Now that you were at the café you still didn’t seem thrilled. Asmo had assumed you were just having a rough day when he asked you to join him and that by today, the day you were going, you would feel back to your usual self and you would be ready to discuss the perfect placement of the treats on the table and figure out the best cup to cream ratio on your drinks. Instead you picked water for yourself and sat there playing with the straw in your cup as Asmo adjusted the table himself. Any question he asked you was met with a half hearted answer and although it made you feel even worse you couldn’t bring yourself to look up at his face or towards the food on the table.

Beelzebub notices when you start joining him more often than not for workouts. Don’t get him wrong, he adores your company and always welcomes your presence, however you used to be his cheerleader, sitting on his back when he does push-ups with your encouraging tone, “GO BEEL!” “Only 300 more to go!” and maybe jokingly trying to match his intensity with a small human appropriate workout of your own, before collapsing in defeat knowing you could never keep up with the demon and his strong physique.

Now Beel was noticing a worrying shift, you were beginning to push yourself way too far, with Beel finding you already in the gym numerous times with sweat dripping from every part of your body as you tried to push yourself to an extreme that no human should even begin to attempt to go to.

When it first began to change Beelzebub really didn’t think all that much of it. Maybe you wanted to eat a huge meal with him afterwards as he usually did, or maybe you wanted to be able to build your strength so you could stay by his side longer while you were both in the gym together before you would have to lie down and recover your breath. But he quickly knew that wasn't the case. You didn’t want any food, he offered, opting instead to chug as much water as possible. He thought that was odd as he’s always ravenous after a workout, but what was worse is at meal times you would go for tiny portions of vegetables with no other substance to the meal and even then you wouldn’t finish it all.

Belphegor notices when he finds you asleep a lot more than usual. At first, like his twin, when he noticed the change he was welcome to it as he loves sleeping next to you, and it’s a hell of a lot easier to cuddle a sleeping person like a pillow than it is to cuddle one that has to move position every few minutes because a new body part has gone dead from lack of blood flow, but after more than a week of your new sleepy demeanour he begins to get concerned. You usually had a lot of energy, you needed to in order to keep up with the antics of the seven brothers along with your study at RAD, and your friends in the Devildom. The lack of energy was very unusual for you.

Honestly you couldn’t even tell what was causing it, the lack of sunlight in the Devildom? The higher intensity of working out? The fact you weren’t giving yourself the appropriate level of nutrients? You’d say it was the first one whenever Belphie probed you for answers but deep down you knew that wasn’t it. You were overworking yourself and underfeeding yourself in an attempt to feel like a different person, but instead it was making you feel weak and tired. You always end up asleep with Belphie, for one the comfort of someone who adores you is always pleasant, but in your mind he would be the least suspicious of the new behaviour in your mind as you were beginning to match him in the length of time you would sleep for.

~~~

So it wasn’t strange when Lucifer proposed a house meeting in the group chat, it was however a surprise to you to be greeted by 7 faces full of concern and worry. After all, they are demons, but they do have hearts; and they may not understand what is going on, or how to deal with it but they want to try their best to get their favourite human back to the healthy and happy one you usually are.

That being said, when they told you exactly what they had noticed and how different it was from the norm it was rather overwhelming, and it didn’t take long for you to break down and tell them exactly how you had been feeling the entire time, from the stares you received from other demons, the pressure put on you to be a perfect exchange student, on top of personal issues which all came out in one giant word vomit to the brothers as you sobbed and tried to express your thoughts and feelings to the 7 most important individuals in your life.

Although it may have been somewhat difficult for them to understand exactly how you feel they promised that they adored you endlessly for exactly who you are and made a promise to help you work through the issues you’re facing and to help being you back to being healthy, no matter how long it takes, they will always have your back.

Jersey's GROOVY Shares Sad Club Anthem "KNO ME," Announces Upcoming EP

GROOVY uses his singular hybrid of Jersey club and R&B to explore the highs, lows, and complications of young love. Today, the rising artist announces his upcoming EP, Crying In The Club, coming May 24th via Defiant Records/Warner Records. With the announcement comes the heart-wrenching single and video "KNO ME."

The upcoming EP refines GROOVY's blend of R&B and Jersey club: GROOVY slows down the club tempo, but keeps the genre's five-beat pattern and signature sound effects, while applying silky smooth vocals and relatable lyrics on top. Home to "jersey luv" ft. B Jack$, GROOVY's 2023 viral hit single, Crying In The Club follows a loose narrative about heartbreak and GROOVY's transition from hopeless romantic to regretful lothario. The EP features guest appearances from Kanii, Vayda, and R2R Moe.

youtube

Produced by GROOVY's frequent collaborator Alejandro, "KNO ME" is an aching confection, layering a mournful string melody and piano arpeggios atop slow-mo club production. Using a screwed-up filter on his ultra-smooth vocals, GROOVY tells the story of a crumbling relationship built on a bed of lies in which nobody truly knew the other until it was too late. Directed by Keats, the video dramatizes the story, using striking imagery as GROOVY and his lover, Mariah, try and fail to work through their differences, and GROOVY responds the only way he knows how: with a sneaky link.

The son of a respected Jersey club DJ who finished optometry school before pursuing his musical career, GROOVY is the latest artist to join Steve "Steve-O" Carless's Defiant Records, full of artists who build bridges between sounds that resonate on either side of the Hudson River. The Union County native first made noise last year with "jersey luv" ft. B Jack$, which became a viral sensation behind a hip-shaking trend that highlights the song's dramatic tempo change. Named one of the Best Songs of 2023 by Complex, song has over 450k creations on TikTok, along with over 1 billion views on the platform, and has generated over 49 million Spotify streams and nearly 500k units sold since its release in Spring 2023. With the Crying In The Club EP, GROOVY continues to build a devoted fanbase by blending vastly different sonic traditions into an emotionally arresting package. Stay tuned for more.

Science Says People (Specifically Kids) Are Good, Actually

okay i just rediscovered the link to one of my favourite studies ever and i wanted to share it with the class.

Koomen, R., Grueneisen, S., & Herrmann, E. (2020). Children Delay Gratification for Cooperative Ends. Psychological Science, 31(2), 139–148. https://doi.org/10.1177/0956797619894205

(it's behind a paywall, but if you can't access and you're interested i have the pdf)

This study modified the marshmallow test, where kids are asked to hold off on eating one marshmallow in order to get another one later. The study used children from Germany and Kenya, with localised treats that were familiar to the kids. 70 of the children were paired up interdependently - each pair would only get the second treat if they both held off eating the first. 69 (nice) were paired up dependently - they each thought that they were the only one of the two who had to avoid eating the treat, and 68 were doing the test as normal.

The interdependent kids were significantly better at the test than those doing the test normally - cooperation (the idea that they were doing this for AND with a friend) had a significant positive effect on their willpower ! The dependent kids were also better at the test than the solo ones - showing that children can delay gratification better when they're doing it for a friend - but not as much as the interdependent ones. Even though they knew that they were the only ones who had to hold out, the fact that they weren't doing it with a friend meant they didn't have that amazing boost of willpower. (there are small cultural differences here between the Kenyan and German children, but the overall interdependence effect holds.)

From the discussion: "Delaying gratification is often critical for cooperation to succeed. Here, 5- to 6-year-olds from two highly distinct cultures were more likely to delay gratification when their outcomes were interdependently linked than when they performed the same task alone, even though the interdependent context entailed additional risks. These findings support the notion that human cooperative relations, particularly social interdependence, critically shape cognitive performance from an early age."

i just find this study so heartening, because it's truly applicable throughout life. if you've ever done something for a friend that you couldn't do for yourself, that's this effect! our reliance on others (and their reliance on us) is hugely beneficial for ourselves and for society - how nice is that?

Similar studies:

this one again shows increased willpower in kids for the good of others !

this one shows how kids begin to give more to people that need it

this one found that kids as young as three show altruistic behaviour when it comes to the present, and by five they've developed altruism for future events !

this study found that by the age of 8, children will reject unfairness EVEN WHEN IT BENEFITS THEM !!

in summary i love people and i love children and we are all built kind it is our duty to make sure as many people as possible stay that way

#i'll send anyone a pdf of any of these feel free to ask for them #child development #psychology #child psychology #developmental psychology #altruism #marshmallow test #positivity #optimism #love #people are good #faith in humanity #science #please add any other studies you know of in the replies/reblogs ! i love this field with all my heart #cool stuff #sky (the blogger) originals

OMG u added pjsekai to ur fandoms list

I will now bother you for wonderland x showtime headcannons because they r life

Wonderlands x Showtime Hcs

(Project Sekai)

hello^^ TYSM for sending these!!! i love these losers sm u don’t even understand and i very thoroughly enjoyed this HAHA i hope you enjoy these headcanons <3 (also let’s ignore how freaking long ago this request was)

these can be read as poly/romantic or platonic! (i live and die for polysho)

warning: these headcanons r LONG, like maybe u went into a little too much detail cuz like damn

——

ofc the lees of the group are definitely nene and tsukasa (no i am not biased. you can’t tell me that these two aren’t ganged on the most. and for completely different reasons) meaning the lers r rui and emu

for nene, ofc when she’s being a grouch or just.. needs to smile, the three will be allll over her. honestly, she’s super ticklish so it’s always works for them so why stop? they like to do this when she’s nervous too cuz it keeps her distracted and clears her mind a little, you know?

as for tsukasa, it’s just.. for fun. silly, i know. it’s just.. seeing his smile and laugh so freely is such a contrast to his prideful, boasting laugh. YOU GET WHAT I MEAN??? like his laughter is contagious, but what i mean is that whoever can see him truly smile wants to smile too!

emu lovessss being the lee obviously but she loves being a ler too!!! like, she still gets tickled a lot. don’t get me wrong. tickles r super duper common between these four and it’s usually emu who initiates it. anyways, what i’m getting at is that she, as anyone who’s ever seen her story, LOVES making people smile. she’d be the sweetest most playful ler out there and you cannot tell me otherwise. like i mean, complimenting you so many times that you want to explode out of embarrassment (even tsukasa sometimes)

rui is usually the one who tickles nene tbh but ofc he tickles the other too! though, it took a bit getting there because while he may not seem like it, he does get nervous about tickling someone. though, that’s mainly because he’s afraid they’ll see him as weird. anyways, he’s often the lee, yeah, but most of the times, he would use situations to his advantage to avoid that (basically offering the ler his help) it’s not that he doesn’t want to be tickled, it’s more so that he prefers to be on the giving side. well, besides that, once emu started to tickle them (without hesitation, might i add) his courage pretty much built up instantly and he joined in. he’s just got those tickles that make you feel floaty and safe, so he often tickles his members especially when their feeling down

now rq let’s talk ab reversing roles: basically nene and tsukasa as lers and rui and emu as lees!!!! isn’t that exciting?? so picture nene as the vengeance ler. you know how nene gets tickled a LOT within the group, well she definitely has to get payback.. she was a bit shy about it at first, but after getting a bit more comfortable with the group, don’t expect to tickle her without getting it back tenfold! then, tsukasa, well he can be a bit like nene sometimes but it’s like, you know those moments where you can practically feel his big brother energy? this with tickling. he’s a bit like kaito actually in this aspect, where he will use tickling to make you smile, much like emu and rui actyally (and nene too tho she wouldn’t admit it).

then emu would be the best lee ever because she’s so encouraging and she lets you know she’s enjoying it and honestly, it just boosts the other threes ego as lers. she’s so sweet and bubbly when she’s being tickled which makes the group just want to tickle her more. she thinks it’s fun and so do they! then for rui, it’s a bit tougher to tickle him. like i said, it’s not because he doesn’t want to be tickled, but mainly because he avoids it. he pretends he doesn’t like it and that it would be a much better idea to tickle the others, but it’s just an act. still, his giggles r breathy and cute and so loveable in his own way.

ALRIGHT SO the headcanons above were mostly for setting. some others, regarding them as a whole: they tickle eachother a lot. it’s crazy, like they’ve even added it as a scene in one of their shows before. (it wasn’t anything big, obviously, just like a little squeeze to the side)

it’s like one of their ways to bond with one another. it’s like, sometimes actions feel better than communication, not feeling the stress of having to find the words to say. so they hug each other and tickle each other to do just that. it’s just another level of closeness for them.

i think that they could also occasionally have after-show tickle fights. obviously, it’s not planned, but sometimes it just happens you know? once, after the show was over and everyone in the audience was leaving, emu poked tsukasa on the side and made tsukasa jolt. of course, emu wasn’t done there and she pounced and asked for the other two to help. rui joined, with a somewhat eager smile on his face, while nene muttered something about them being childish. ofc after a few moments, nene couldn’t help but join either and since then, all emu has to do is choose one of them to wreck for the day and soon everyone’s joining in

at first, they reserved the tickling only for at the wonder stage and when no one’s there. it’s not much different, but recently they’ve had tickle fights and the like in the sekai as well! they didn’t do it, mostly out of respect for the virtual singers, but once they realized that they really didn’t care and even wanted to join in on occasion, they’re comfortable just randomly attacking someone with tickles out of nowhere.

i think they’ve incorporated tickling into shows at points. of course, it’s nothing too intense, but sometimes they’ll have the characters poke each others in the side and stuff then make their squeal like SUPER dramatic (tsukasa doesn’t have to worry about this), because loud squealing and acting shock tends to make little kids laugh and whatnot YKKKK

also tsukasa and emu r feather ticklish, light touches make them go crazy. rougher tickles tend to work better on rui and nene, she laughs about the same no matter what kind of tickling she receives. (they know this from experience)

#wonderlands x showtime #wonderland x showtime #wxs #wxs miku #project sekai #proseka #hatsune miku colorful stage #colorful stage #pjsekai #project sekai headcanons #headcanons #tsukasa tenma #emu otori #nene kusanagi #rui kamishiro #tickling #tickle headcanons #jai’s headcanons

pt 3

And last but certainly not least is the absolute firecracker, Dyme Pepperbox.

Dyme grew up in a bunker underground, having to deal with the boredom of subterranean living and a group of survivalist fundamentalists. She only saw the surface for the first time when the being she was hiding from, The Animator, was slain by the original party and her home was brought into the Material Plane. Everything should be great, right? I mean she’s alive, her oppressor is dead, and her people don’t have to hide anymore. Everything’s great, r-right?

Nope! Things are so not fine that its kinda funny to even pretend like they are! When her community was brought back to the Material Plane, they were brought back a couple hundred years too early. This temporal anomaly caused a massive rift to open in the sky above Spring Valley (her home). Quickly, this rift began to cause havoc in Spring Valley, including allowing a WW2 American fighter pilot to attack the city (yes, really).

But most importantly to Dyme’s story, waves of temporal energy would cascade down onto the city, causing people to rapidly age until death. Why is this important to Dyme’s story? Well, one day in Spring Valley she was working on her various inventions, and when she returned to where her family was they were all rapidly dying of old age in front of her. There was nothing she or anyone could have done.

The death of her family DESTROYED Dyme mentally, but instead of coping with it she threw herself into the work her and her father had started. If only she could finish these inventions, certainly everything would work out. Just one more cup of coffee (likely laced with cocaine). Just one more screw. She just needed more time.

Time.

Dyme’s story, in my eyes, is defined by her struggle against time. Time is what stole her family away from her, time is what was taken away from her family, and time is what she now tries to harness. She starves herself of sleep, forsakes times with her loved ones, and shirks her responsibilities to her surviving family and community all so that she can claw back just a bit of the time she lost. The time that was used against her.

Surely running this hard from your issues won’t cause any issues, r-right?

Again. A hysterical thing to say. Of course it has! Dyme’s repressed sadness over the death of her family has manifested in POWERFUL anger issues. This culminated in the most recent sessions as her yelling at Kiriko’s father figure who was trying to flee, and being arrest by the police for blowing at a truly ridiculous tabaxi man while trying to save her cousin’s life. That event in particular, seeing her ability to save one of her only remaining family members slip away from her because some asshole wanted to extort her for more money, really seemed to draw this anger out.

Its interesting to have two characters who are both running from their problems, but in such different ways. Kiriko *has* to run, if he doesn’t everything he’s worked for will be taken from him. But Dyme, Dyme could confront her issues. She could go back to Spring Valley right now and apologize for missing her family’s funeral, apologize to her longtime friend for closing herself off entirely. But instead, she chooses to flee. I think the key difference between these two pcs is that while Kiriko does confront the things he’s running from, Dyme doesn’t. She avoids them as hard as she can possibly avoid them. And all those bottled-up emotions are starting to spew out.

But can we blame her? Time literally stole her family’s lives. It only makes sense that she would try to beat the clock

God what fantastic characters you’ve all built, I could explore them all from so many different angles and I’ve already written a 2000 word paper about them.

#don't run out of... DYME #im funny #pls stop drinking coffee cocaine and deal with your problems queen

“Are you Lena?” The girl jolted in her spot on the sofa, hugging the bear closer to her chest. “Yes.” Even though Kara had known it from the second she had laid eyes on the child, the confirmation still managed to take her by surprise. “Who are you?” Lena asked, trying to sound as confident as she could. “Oh, my name’s Kara.” Kara replied warmly, taking a step forward, eager to move closer to offer reassurance before halting the second she saw the younger version of her once best friend flinch. “It’s okay,” Kara quickly soothed, “It’s okay. I won’t hurt you.” Lena peered over the top of her bear’s fuzzy head, “Promise?” Kara knelt down and smiled brightly, “Promise.”

Following Lex’s defeat, Kara and Lena are struggling to rebuild their friendship and let go of the hurt caused on both sides when Kara and Lena work together to help an alien return home. To show their gratitude for being saved the alien provides the two of them a chance to close the rift still between them. How? By getting them to meet each other's younger selves.

S6. Reconciliation is hard but they get help. Hits you right in the feels - and hard. SO well done, truly its a gem. Meeting little Kara and Lena was a real treat, wish we'd had more of that in the show. She writes them both so well and just knows how to cut them to the core. Brilliant!

something so precious about this (oh what a sin) by Just_As_Sane

Small folded pieces of paper begin to gather in her wallet. There’s swans, cute puppy faces with tiny noses drawn on them, various sized stars and there’s fish, frogs even a dinosaur.

But mostly there’s hearts.

She tries not to read too much into it.

Kara makes little origami creations and gives them to Lena, and Lena being the complete and utter sap that she is, loves them with all her heart.

What's gonna be left of the world if you're not in it? by ThornedRose44

If Lena didn’t know any better she would say she was being haunted. By an actual ghost. But Lena knew better. She had one of the highest IQ’s in the country. So Lena knew better.

This ones a lot funnier than it might sound. It gets a bit sad and sappy later, but that makes the story even better. Very happy ending (Kara is not actually dead). Also if you haven't already do check out all her fics. (tho i probably recd them all by now)

i love that i know you (like no one does) by robie

“Help me understand,” Kara says. “Are you saying everyone falls in love with their best friend?”

“I’m saying that queer women have a special affinity for it,” Lena repeats, fishing the cherry out of the bottom of her drink. “The whole ‘falling for your straight best friend’ is basically a rite of passage.”

“Says who?”

“Everyone.” She puts the cherry in her mouth, bites it off the stem. “The L Word was like, built on the premise that a friend group of queer woman in LA dated each other in some sort of terrible repeating circle for, god, however many seasons that went on. And it’s been my experience that when two people are attracted to each other, and they’re close, feelings are likely to develop.”

“That’s just, I mean, come on.” Kara’s cheeks are a little pink. “A trope and a tv show? That’s your evidence?”

“So you’ve never been in love with your best friend?” Lena looks down at her empty glass.

“No!” Kara sounds affronted. “No, I have never been in love with my best friend.”

A love story, told in three acts.

Sooo they totally fall in love of course, it just takes a while - cue jUsT fRiEndS shenanigans. Like so so many of them. Lots of pinging, a little angsty but eventually they stop being dumb. So so so well written.

Don't forget to leave some love for the writers! Happy reading!
