Star Wars AU where the council time travels back to when Obi-Wan was still an itty-bitty baby initiate. Including, you know. Council Member Obi-Wan Kenobi. So they’re all in their younger bodies and talking with the current non-time traveling members of the council, and they’re like “hold on, we got one more coming in”
And in walks in like. Nine year old Initiate Obi-Wan, all chubby-cheeked with fluffy bright red hair, and giant blue eyes.
Just. Their faces, okay?
Now keep in mind I want the council to always be Up To Shenanigans. I’m talking like 2015 Avengers tower found family era fics okay, they’re one big family and Obi-Wan is now super officially The Baby and literally nothing he does will ever stop that again. And despite everything, every single council member is, at heart, incredibly petty in that special Jedi family way and are so ready to not be dealing with a war Right This Very Minute.
What I keep picturing is Baby-Wan wiggling his way into a chair, situating himself Very Regally, then clasping his hands in classic Negotiator style, then speaking up with the Most Serious Of Tiny Baby Voices as the main spokesperson on the Council Of Petty Time Travelers
I just want to see people not in the know
I want Jedi of all ages witnessing Jedi masters, councilmen and women, long lived and wisest of the Jedi, coming to the crèche to visit tiny lil Baby-Wan about his opinions on current events and how they should handle this treaty and also when are you free I want to test my soresu
I just think it’d be funny

My Leo and Mikey for FW's good future.
(part 2 of 3 that i promised (oof) like 2 weeks ago. Yeah, it's been chaotic on my end.) (Donnie and Jennika can be found here.) (i'm still working on raph. Maybe by friday)
edit: Raph is here
I'm exhausted do multiple pet shenanigans so I'm posting this instead of waiting. (I'll do asks tomorrow. Tired)
again, all info under the cut
Leo is, like Donnie, 24 by the time they find Raph's bitties. He goes to college part time b/c he has other things he wants to be doing but also is slowly working towards getting into Mystic medical school. As much as Mama wants him to take over the nexus and hotel at some point, he'd really rather become a doctor like Leatherhead.
By now he's mostly gotten past his fear of medical procedures, though he's still not a fan of being treated by anyone except himself. There are a few things that still set him off (Like Bishop's genetics lab) but usually he's pretty good now.
At this point he's running the Battle Nexus's medical wing (not exactly practicing in it b/c he's not legally allowed, but he does run it.) And is in charge of the human side of the Nexus hotel (with use of a cloaking broach.) (Mikey helps but Leo's the face of it now.)
And Mikey! Mikey's 23. He went head first into art and mystics and just didn't look back. The dude has had art shows in both the hidden city and new york (though he never shows up to the nyc ones in person. It makes him a bit of a local cryptid as far as the art community goes lol.)
He's in college for art and has a nice little following online as well. Mostly for original work, but he does post jupiter jim fanart sometimes that is generally well liked. (he used to post Lou Jitsu fanart too, but the fandom was just too horny for his dad for him to be comfortable continuing doing so.)
His mystics are very powerful at this point. Probably more powerful than his apocalypse self was at that age (or ever) due to having proper access to training and food. His primary eyes glow gold almost constantly as a result of his extra mystic use, which he kind of likes since they used to be an amber color before his mutation.
I think that's about it.

To give you a quick break from sahed x reader
(シ_ _)シ
An Obey me request! \(≧∀≦)/
Could you do little headcannon/senario thingies of how the brothers react to you asking to kiss them except it is not the right moment at all to kiss them for the first time
eg: lucifer just gave reader and mammon in trouble and then reader asks to kiss mammon
Tehehe(*’∀’人)♥
🍓⌒(≧▽​° )
Nah I'd be happy to receive more Sahed x reader requests, also please tell me which gender I should write for, because I think I wrote the Sahed fics with a female reader?
because you didn't include the gender in this one, so I'll just try to do it gender-neutral. Also, please help me if I failed doing that.
BROOOOO omg I'd be so embarrassed if I'd ask for a kith after getting scolded at for what i did, but I'd still ask!
Warnings: Angst I guess, but also fluff in most parts, Asmo's is a lil suggestive, Beel is smooth, And Belphie's just a lil shit
word count: 2.3 k
I didn't proofread- I actually never do -why do I always write that fucking sentence down???
---
Asking for a kiss at the worst moment
Lucifer had to hold his breath as to not leash out on you. I mean, sure, he loved you very dearly and all that romantic, lovely-dovey shit, but sometimes, just sometimes, you could be an insufferable spouse.
"Do you have any idea what you've just done?!", he instead exclaimed as he looked at the stack of papers which you've spent a good amount on working. "I finished your papers.", you muttered, confused as to why he was so angry.
"I told you to let me handle the papers, ____! You should've gone to the kitchen and-" "and prepare a whole five-course meal for Diavolo and Beel, seperately. Yes, I know, I already did that. And I also made lunch for Levi, Asmo, Mammon -should he come home today early for once- and Satan. Belphie can eat the leftovers."
you did it all in favour of getting your first kiss with him, and you were very eager to get to your goal.
Lucifer looked at you in stunned silence for a moment before he checked the papers. They were all...correctly signed. On top of the stack were a few things you wrote where you had trouble with some papers, and said papers were underneath that propblem sheet so that Lucifer wouldn't have to look through every single sheet.
You actually took tons off work from him today...
"Okay...thank you..", he muttered with a small blush and fond smile, and as you were about to lean in for a kiss (your first kiss with him), Diavolo's loud and cheery voice boomed outside. "Lucifer, may I come in?! There's something amazing I'd like to discuss with you!"
Lucifer looked at your lips in desire for a moment, but before he could give in, he turned around and towards the door to open it.
You were outraged. "Seriously, not even a quick peck??", you asked, angry at the fact that your lover wouldn't even give you a small kiss. You were prepared for everything too.
Your hair was done, you brushed your teeth for an hour and nearly drank half a bottle of mouthwash, and you were all dolled up for him only to face his back?
Lucifer stopped dead in his tracks as he pointed towards the door. "I can't just have Lord Diavolo waiting outside!?", he whisper-yelled.
"So he's more important than your partner, who's only asking for an itty-bitty kiss? Alright.", you muttered before you went to your room.
Yeah..., Lucifer would have to make up for that as soon as possible.
...
Mammon can't help but hold in his laughter at your serious face. You two got scolded by Lucifer again, in account of Mammon's shenanigans, and Lucifer had tick marks on his temple by your lack of reaction.
"Seriously, I wonder what's going on inside your head at the moment, ____!", the eldest sibling yelled at your emotionless face. You looked at Mammon.
"I was going to ask him to share my first kiss with him after you were done yelling at us."
There were a few moments of silence, where you smiled at Mammon, who blushed furiously in return, and the lecture in scolding you both extending from 15 minutes to 45 minutes.
Yeah, it may have been a bad moment to ask, but it was still sweet at the end because you got to kiss your favourite demon.
Mammon passed out after you kissed him.
...
Leviathan was hyper-focused on his game. It was a group game with other players, and Levi didn't want to lose his online teammates.
However, he lost the round when you came in and asked him for a kiss. He stared at you in shock as his skin reddened. His teammates were yelling his eardrumms, but his brain only registered your sweet smile and blushing face.
The display on his computer showed "Game over!". He slowly looked to the red display, and then he cursed under his breath.
"_-____...that was a very...very important round...!", he tried to say calmly, but he slowly grew angry as well.
"Oh, I'm sorry...it's just, you're always playing, and I really like you, and I just wanted a kiss..."
Levi couldn't help but blush furiously. He felt bad for scolding you, and nearly leashing out on you, but he was still mad.
"Th-then p-prove it!"
"Huh? You want me to kiss you? I thought you were mad at m-"
"M-m-my a-anger might s-subside when...w-when I receive kisses from a special h-human..!"
there was a short moment of silence before you leaned down to his level, lifted his chin and kissed him gently. His eyes widened and you felt his breath hitch.
after a few seconds, you pulled back, touching your lips with a smile and pink cheeks. "your lips are so soft, Leviathan..."
Levi.exe has stopped working. Seriously.
I mean, today might've become one of his best days in his life, because even though he lost a round, he got to kiss you, got a compliment about his soft lips, and you also said his full name.
He felt like he lived through hundreds of romance mangas.
Yeah, he...he stopped working.
...
Satan was reading a book, where there was a very interesting scene, and he was very in it. He tried to ignore the rain outside as he was in the world the author of the book described, and his breathj hitched when he read the next few sentences.
"Oh, no, Jessica...don't do it...!", he exclaimed, turning the page quickly to read what would be happening next.
You knocked on the door and stepped inside. "Hey, just wanted to check in on you. I made lunch. Would you like to drink tea with me?", you asked, and Satan noticed a hidden undertone to your request.
But, he shook his head. "No, but thank you. I just need to read that scene quickly, before-"
"C'mon, I haven't seen you all day. I missed you, Satan. Please, just twenty minutes-", you tried to reason, but you were suddenly pressed against the wall as Satan put one of his hands against the wall next to your head, his other one tilting your chin up to look at him.
And Satan didn't have a happy expression on. "Why do you have to be so stubborn, ____...?! There was an interesting scene and...", he stopped talking when he took notice that your eyes weren't directed towards his, but a little more down.
Towards his...
"A kiss is what you wanted, right? naughty ____...", he whispered, and he relished in the fact that you were blushing in embarrassment as you averted your eyes and tried to give him a reason.
"n-no, I wasn't! I-I just wanted to bring you some croissants and t-tea!"
Satan chuckled before he leaned down to your face, his lips mere milimeters away from yours. "You wanted to share your first kiss with me, weren't you?", he asked softly, and you sighed.
"Yes...sorry for b-bothering you, if you want to, I can-mmh!?"
Satan's lips crashed against yours as he pecked your lips with ultimate passion. He kissed you again and again, praising you and thanking you for bringing him food and being so pretty that he can't stay mad at you for long.
You were left breathless as you slid down on a chair as you tried to catch your breath. "Next time, please tell me right away when you want a kiss, ____. I'm always happy to deliver you your wishes, alright?"
You nodded as you tried to calm down your fast heartbeat.
You were happy that your first kiss happened like that.
...
Asmodeus would have normally kissed you after you'd had asked, but he was applying some expensive make-up. He was doing his eye liner when you softly knocked on the door and stepped inside.
"Hey Asmo, what'cha doing?", you spoke quietly as to not disrupt him. "Applying some eyeliner...", he muttered as he slowly traced the line from the inside of his eyelid to the end of his eye.
You watched him for a while, looking at his beautiful face before your gaze stopped on his lips. "Hey...uh, Asmo?"
Asmo stopped shortly before turning to you. "What is it?"
"Uh...well...", you trailed off, and Asmo waited for you as he went back on applying the eyeliner. "I would like you to be my first kiss..."
Asmo's eyeliner went into his hair. he yelled with his mouth closed as he quickly stood up and went to the bathroom. You took a look at the makeup set. It was the one Asmo gushed about for months, and it was also quite expensive.
You felt bad.
You quickly went to the bathroom and knocked. "Asmo? I'm sorry...I didn't really look at the make-up set and-"
the door opened. Asmo's usual cheery smile was gone, instead laced with annoyance and boredom. "And?", he repeated sassily, leaning against the doorframe with his arms folded against each other in front od his chest.
"I ...just wanted a little kiss...I mean, I wanted to have my first kiss-"
"Your first?", the pretty boy asked, this time in disbelief. He couldn't imagine that your lips haven't gotten in contact with someone else's before, and you wanting him to be your first kiss?
He felt ecstatic, love for you, and shy, but he also felt very guilty. You just wanted to have a kiss form him -your very first- and he gave you an attitude over some make-up which didn't even fit well with his skin tone.
"Yeah...sorry again for the make-up -?!", you couldn't speak any further when you felt Asmo's, with sweet lipstick applied, lips on yours, in a sweet and tender kiss.
He stroked your cheek gently, and then his lips parted. "How was that?", he asked softly as he looked into your face, which looked absolutely perfect and etheral to him.
you blinked a few times before smiling giddily. "Perfect. Thanks.", and you giggled while hiding your face.
Asmo's face darkened, as he panted slightly, and his cheeks got red all of a sudden. "I could also be your first in se-" "No."
...
Beelzebub had bought a food from the human world he's never tasted before. It was a döner/ kebap, and he was nearly dying at the delicious smell.
The turkish burger was still hot, and Beel took his time to actually take a pic before eating slowly, bite after bite to relish in the otherworldy taste.
However, you showed up and sat yourself next to him. Today would be the day you'd ask Beel for a kiss. Your first kiss with anyone, and you wanted it to be Beel. I mean, you loved him, after all.
Beel's food was starting to go from hot to warm and he wanted to quickly bite down- "Say, Beel...could you be my first kiss?", you asked after he was about to swallow the first bite.
He choked on his food, and you grew panicked. You slapped him hard on his back and he coughed out the first bite, staring at it sadly and in dissappointment as it landed on the alumium-foil.
"My first bite...", he murmured, and he sighed. His appetite emptied rapidly. you then came to realization that this was Beel's first kebap, and he wanted it to be special. you just blew it.
"Wait, is this your first time eating kebap?! God, I am so sorry, Beel! Wait, I-I'll get you a new one-"
"No need...say, were you honest about the kiss part?", he then asked.
You blushed in embarrassment. "y-yes, but-" "Then kiss me. As a form of payment for ruining my moment with the first bite."
You blushed even more. "A-are you sure? I...I don't wanna pressure you-"
"____, if there's anyone in Devildom or the human world I'd like to kiss, it would be you. Now pelase hurry up or my kebap will grow cold."
you hesitated for a moment before you went towards Beel, whose cheeks darkened when you stepped closer. "Tell me when to stop...", you murmured before you pecked his lips softly.
You parted, and Beel kissed you back before you could say something. He placed the kebap on the table, forgetting about it the moment it left his fingers as Beel kissed you more and more feverishly, and in the end, you two made out, with Beel invading your mouth with his tongue.
You couldn't have asked for a better moment for a kiss from Beel.
(he ate it even after it got cold and invited you to a date afterwards.)
...
Belphegor was always asleep, so it never was a good moment to wake him up and ask him for a kiss. Still, you wanted to kiss that lazy bitch and woke him up by force.
"What the hell...?!", he groaned before he caught sight of you. "What do you want?"
"A kiss. My first kiss for you to take, actually.", you stated, crossing your arms in front of your chest. If it were for the other brothers were you'd ask for a kiss, you'd be shy and bashful, but you somehow fell for Belphie and here you were now.
Belphie looked at your thighs for a moment, remembering how he'd have the best naps on them, but he snapped out when you made an "ahem" sound. "So, you wanted a kiss and had to wake me for it? Couldn't you just wait until I was done sleeping?"
"And when would that be?"
"..."
"Nevermind, let me ask Lucifer-"
"I'm up! I'm up!", he exclaimed tiredly as he sat up as quick as possible. He sat up like a grandpa and even held his back.
"Come here.", he demanded, and you scooched over to him with a smile. 'Yes, finally, my first kiss!', you thought when you closed your eyes in anticipation.
Belphie looked at your face for a moment with a fond smile before dropping the smile, putting his lips against yours and then falling back down the bed and passing out on the spot again.
You were outraged.
---
heyyyy, sorry if I didn't make it how you liked, I had to rethink what I was writing, because in Levi's part I wrote it so that they were doing a bet at first and the loser would have to do what the other one said, and that ending in a sweet kiss before I remembered your request and deleted the paragraphs💀
Anyways, it was actually fun, and I hope I wrote it how you'd expect it from me. If not, please tell me, I'll try to write it again, but better.
Read you in the next post!

(Wondering if your doing buddy requests? Because I got a request!)
Is it okay if buddy is like— a atomic bomb type of cybertron.
Example: buddy pulls a pin from their neck which causes an automatically bomb change to buddy which their head turns into a atomic bomb called "Fat man" with sharp small teeth and then whenever buddy kicks or punch a explosion happens, a small explosion no big atomic bomb explosion (Thats too op🙏💀 but their punches and kicks are)
You can choose TFP or TFA as a onshot or scenario with the autobots❗🧎
I hope this isn't too much!! But thank you!
All righty! I think I got this Buddy down, please tell me if this isn't your interpretation of Buddy.
Hope you enjoy!
Bot Buddy who's alt mode is a 'reusable' bomb with Lugnut, Blitzwing, Optimus, and Bumblebee
SFW, Platonic, Cybertronain reader
TFA
Team Prime is so lucky to have Buddy on their side.
This explosive happy bot literally turns into a bomb.
A type of ‘reusable’ bomb.
They can make similar explosives to a regular bomb, but they won’t blow into itty bitty pieces in the process.
Have there been questions that this bot may have been a Decepticon in the early years of the war?
Of course.
Are there any questions about their loyalty?
Nope.
The reason behind this is simple.
If they wanted to hurt the team, they would have done it by now.
It still shocks the team from time to time whenever Buddy pulls the pin and throws themselves at the enemy, ready to explode at any moment.
They are lucky to not fully explode when that happens.
Ratchet has already grown a 6th sense for Buddy’s shenanigans.
Team who sees the bot and wants to fight them as soon as possible.
This team is reserved for those who want to fight Buddy. Do they know that Buddy explodes? Yes, they do. Is that going to stop them? No, in fact this might be an even bigger reason to fight them. So, what if Buddy explodes while they fight? They don’t care as long as they can still fight them. They want to see if their armor is really as dense as its made out to be.
Lugnut
Tumblr media
Team who is done with all of this
This team is reserved for those who are just done with all the explosions. The war is already as loud as it is, do they really need to add more? Whether they are on their side or not they already have to deal with Lugnut and his explosives, they are not going to deal with one literally built like a bomb.
Blitzwing
Optimus
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Team who wants to pull the pin themselves
This is reserved for those who are too curious for their own good. They have way too many questions regarding that pin. For example: What happens when someone who isn’t Buddy takes it off? Does the pin know who is taking it off? What happens if they do it right now? Please keep these Bots and Cons away from Buddy, for the safety of those around them.
Lugnut
Bumblebee

Weekly Fic Recs 23
Turns out, traveling for work, and then breaking your toe when you get back home makes it hard to work out :( :( :(  I’m fine, just annoyed with myself.  I think I’m just going to rename these fic rec posts to “Weekly” instead of “Exercise” anyway.  I might also update the tags of the past ones as well to “weekly fic recs” so they are easier to search for.  If you want to see the bird pictures that I used to post at the end of these, just go over to my other blog to see some neat birds, balconybirds.  I posted some pictures from my birding adventures last week before I left for work travel, and there’s a really cool green heron I saw.  Those guys are so funky to watch with their weird alien necks.  Anyway, on to the fics!
Wrestle by SalParadiseLost  (Superbat if you squint and little Timkon, complete.  A batfam mermaid fic where Clark works in a mer habitat and brings Kon with him.  Shenanigans ensue, especially were Tim in involved.)
The Sit-Down by Ginerva_Benci  (Superbat, complete.  Clark deals with the work/personal/superhero life balance.  Bruce helps.)
savestate by TheResurrectionist  (Batlantern and a bit of Superbat, complete.  Bruce, Hal, and Clark are on a mission gone wrong, Clark is incapacitated, and they’re pretty sure they’re about to die.  Hal decides he wants to hit that (Bruce) before he dies.  Clark is Not Pleased.  Very funny!!)  
50 Shades of Bat by River9Noble  (Superbat, complete.  This was another funny one!  Clark doesn’t know Batman’s identity, and thinks Brucie is being abused by the amount of injuries he has.  Clark asks Batman to look into this.  Shenanigans ensue.)
Dad’s New Boyfriend by TheClamBeforetheStorm  (Twobats/Bruharvey, now complete!  A 5+1 fic of Bruce’s family coming to accept the fact that a reformed Harvey Dent is dating their dad.)
veracity by pomeloquat  (Superbat, complete.  Batman is captured by the bad guys and they give him a true serum so they can learn Superman’s weaknesses.  The end up learning waaaaaaaay more than that.  Very silly and fun to read!!)
Growing Up by birbteef, SalParadiseLost  (Superbat, complete.  Part of the Itty Bitty AU series.  Bruce has a handful of bitties (supernatural pets), with Dick being the oldest.  Dick is reaching the end of his lifespan, and Bruce is sad about it.  Don’t worry!  There is a happy ending!)
Where Bruce goes, Clark follows by Mawiish  (Superbat, complete.  Super fluffy, super sweet fic.  Bruce and Clark are getting ready to go to a party and Clark is nervous.  Bruce is there to support him 💖)

Wondering how Tarn and the Nurse's story would go if they shared a world with Fusian Cannon Wedding Megatron.
The idea of fusion Cannon Wedding Megatron!AU is that the senate reserved the right to take any sparkling from unconjuxed parents ostensibly to be put in a worthy home while simultaneously making it cost prohibitive for all but the elite. Even for the upper middle caste it was incredibly burdensome. But if you could get an audience with a priest of the 13 they could interview a couple deem them worthy and chose to wave the fee.
Megatron, the agnostic, due to Gladiatorial WWE-esque Theme Shenanigans actualy ends a priest of Megatronus because he refused to be a fake priest in such a way that the last Priest of Megatronus decided "welp this is my best bet as a secuessor." Megatron ever the political activist used this to perform legally binding weddings for any sparked couples he came across.
Cue the Revolution and the risk of Deceticon newsparks being stolen increases. But there are treaties to return kiddos to their parents or next of kin. So if con, bot, neutral, or implausiblely compatible alien sparks up or is sparked up by one of his Decepticons, they are kidnapped and brought to the alrer at gunpoint for now High Priest Megatron to Marry them off "for the children's sake." The DJD has brought runaway 'juxes to the alter.
Now the DJD still has the Doner Cause because it's a way of protecting the bitties. Megatron initaly gets wind of the situation of with the Nurse and is relatively chill. Right up untill he realizes that the nurse was never married to the sire. Nevermind their Caimen with very diffrent rules and cultural norms. (Also their the mentee of a very scary Healer). Kaon doesn't even have to pull a witnessed act shenanigans to help his ship set sail. He just has to include a question in his routine report that Tarn is continuing providing doner support as outlined in the Doner clause. "As the cowardly tratitor abandoned his lover the moment he found out she sparked we did not find out he had sparked her after he was dead. Is it possible to posthumously conjux them for the security of the sparklings?" Kaon knows damn well posthumous conjuxing isn't a thing.
Shenanigans are about to ensue.
This is great because Megatron's manifesto would have revisions about religion, so instead of an atheist society, he more likely written about freedom of religion for anyone to practice. Just as a final Fuck You to the Senate with their harsh stance.
And because of the wild shenanigans, I think the Decepticons would have strong civil and family court proceedings.
Deadzone and Nurse were (ex) fiances, so Megatron could be chill with that.
But not with Tarn also sparking up the Camien. Now that's a whole-ass security risk!
Megatron wouldn't need to demand Tarn to return. The Peaceful Tyranny bulleted itself to the main flagship, ignoring everything else to get it situated after the consequences of too much excitement at the "fake" resort wedding.
A poor, sleep-deprived and absolutely exhausted Nurse would have been scooped up and thrown into the shower and polished to high-hell. You were vaguely aware of quick, sure servos working your back and sensory panels, and Helex was hogging the dryer.
This was no dignified walk. The entire Justice Division burned rubber and left scorch marks on their stampede to the Altar. Every other 'con jumped out of the way and booked it elsewhere because no one wanted to be in the vicinity that had the D.J.D. that hyperfocused.
Shockwaves rippled across the base that it wasn't a gruesome execution but a wedding.
Out of all the mechs, Tarn's.
The gossip mill was set aflame. Information between truth and rumors clashing, especially when the newlywedded mech was spotted with strange, blue Energon painted bright on his chassis.
The reality of it was far less fantastical.
You were a sack of photon-potatoes over Tarn's shoulder as he carried the cradle-pod of newsparks under his opposite arm.
At the daunting reveal that Megatron the bomb of Megatronus Prime's ordained lineage with the markings and proven insignia, you took a short break in the private sideroom (with proper permission from the High Priest) to freak out over your own lack of preparations and courtesies for said High Priest.
You did invoke part of an old bonding custom from Caminus' initial vorns when the Titan carried the survivors of the Tribal wars composed of different peoples.
You and Tarn get married with each other’s Energon painted upon the chassis.
Not only Megatron officiated the ceremony, but allowed a generous honeymoon package of timeoff and a few gifts.

esteemed trungles, i come with an important question. What is the best romcom to watch in winter?
Tumblr media
ESTEEMED omg incredible. I don't think I've ever been esteemed before, so I'll do my best to live up to it.
SO I'm a little late on this question for Holiday rom-coms, but it's still winter here right now, and I love rom-coms. In no particular order:
The Holiday (2006) - Kate Winslet! Jack Black! Cameron Diaz! Jude Law! John Krasinski for some reason (he shows up for like three minutes)! Kathryn Hahn (also in the same scene as John Krasinski)! Also there's a little, itty-bitty A Knight's Tale reunion because Rufus Sewell shows up and so does Shannyn Sossamon, which I find to be very sweet. Jack Black is cute as Christmas and hot as breakfast in this movie, and he somehow did this straightforwardly sweet rom-com AND Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny in the same year. The man has RANGE. You get two romances in this movie, and I think the Kate Winslet one is much more of a high-budget Silver Screen romance while the Cameron Diaz one is much more a Hallmark Channel romance, which I think is great because I love both kinds of romances.

When Harry Met Sally (1989) - This movie is iconic, and I love it to bits. I always have it saved to my phone so I can watch it on literally every plane ride just in case I get stressed out. Meg Ryan is incredible in it as a neurotic and incredibly self-assured woman who develops a friendship with Billy Crystal's character over the course of about a dozen years. Bruno Kirby and Carrie Fisher play some hilarious supporting characters. This movie is also lovely in that the most dramatic character arc belongs to the male love interest. Like, yes, Meg Ryan's character also grows, but there's no change to her world view or her wants and desires because she's not hurting anyone with the way she navigates those things, and Billy Crystal's character grows into someone you could imagine having lunch with, a far cry from when we first meet him. It's also very well-written. I downloaded the script just so I could pick it apart and learn from it.
Tumblr media
Single All the Way (2021) - KATHY NAJIMY AND JENNIFER COOLIDGE ARE BOTH IN THIS MOVIE. I don't know what I was expecting, but this holiday rom-com charmed the thermal socks off me. Michael Urie and Philemon Chambers play best friends who fake a relationship so Michael's family will stop badgering him about there being no romance in his life. It's a fake dating movie, and it is also a delightful subversion of the Hallmark romance. Michael Urie escapes his big city life back to his small hometown where he meets an extremely hunky local spinning instructor (lol) played by Luke McFarlane, who is a literal mainstay of many actual, literal Hallmark romance movies. It's great. I enjoyed it immensely.
Tumblr media
Moonstruck (1987) - Cher and Nicolas Cage star in this movie, and it's sort of difficult to describe. It's very funny, and it's heightened by how every single actor plays their character with the seriousness of a prestige drama. Olympia Dukakis and John Mahoney are also in this, and they're both delightful. I still occasionally yell, "I lost my hand! I lost my bride!!!" out loud at random intervals in the year. Keeps my loved ones on their toes.
Tumblr media
While You Were Sleeping (1995) - This movie is a charmer and a half! Sandra Bullock stars as a lonely woman who works at the L in Chicago who falls in love with one of the passengers. One day, he falls victim to an attempted mugging and falls onto the tracks. Our heroine saves his life, but he winds up in a coma. A series of misunderstandings leads his entire family to believe that she's his fiancée, and polite shenanigans ensue (except in the case of one testicle-inspection, which might be regarded as pretty impolite, but it's very sweet in context). I also find Bill Pullman extremely blandsome and regular-looking to the point of being sincerely erotic. I don't know how this happened.
Tumblr media
And I think that covers my wintry rom-coms! I watch all of them year-round, but these ones all vaguely take place in the winter-time and sometimes have a little bit to do with the holidays season.

What I'd Do As My Enemies Wife (Widfali AU)
Tumblr media
Chapter 1 - I'm Married To WHO?!?
Contents (Warnings): Getting caught in another universe (Shenanigans with Alexander and Lynette).
Wordcount: 2,700+
Side note: Thank you, @novorehere for being the menace that made me draw them going on a date and @aramastus for suggesting this AU idea in the first place! Love you guys! AGAIN, this is a goofy what if scenario. If you haven't read Widfali I'd recommend reading it first! That being said this is going to be much lighter and sweeter than what's been going on in the story thus far, hope you enjoy!
__________________________________________________
Lynette
I refused to remove my body from the warm, firm mattress underneath me, regardless of my slowly chilling, blanketless arms and legs. 
My alarm hasn't rung yet. 
I nuzzled further into the comforting heat. And in retaliation, the rest of me that didn't have contact with it burst with goosebumps. It disturbed my pleasant slumber. 
I sat up, grumbled, and gathered my orientation. I was on a couch, not a bed. Oh, I fell asleep on Wicks again. I hope I didn't drool on him this time. 
Groggily rubbing my eyes, I studied him. My body tensed when I saw the difference in structure. Their chest was more defined in their tight navy tank top, and their arms were adorned with muscles like cannon balls. 
Most importantly, their skin wasn't the light olive my brother had either. 
A yelp escaped my lips, and I panicked and scrambled back on the couch. Why is Alexander in my apartment? I didn't recognize the home I was in. Or am I in his...?! 
He got up and groaned. His eyes opened, and he turned to me in confusion. "Why are you here?" Much like me, he looked over the couch and room. 
The house looked neat and clean. A coffee table in front of us, as well as gaming systems and shelves of games along the undershelf below them. There was even a cat tower next to it, too. 
"Is this not your new place?" I pointed to the cat tower. That wouldn't explain why I was here. Or...resting on him.
He stood up, inspecting the space and sniffing the air. "I thought this was your place, your scents everywhere." He then sniffed at his own clothes. "Why the hell do I smell like you?" 
I'M NOT TELLING HIM THAT. "This isn't my place." I was also about to pull myself up, but out of nowhere, a figure appeared in front of me. 
"Good, you're both awake!" 
I squeaked out, and Alexander pushed himself between us. The floating girl walked backward as if the air was solid beneath her. Her navy blue hair fluttered and waved like she was underwater. 
Alexander's eyes glowed when he faced her, "who are you?"
Their voice came out soft and sounded next to my ear. "Well, my name is a little hard to pronounce in English, but let's go with Ceram." The light sapphire blue being with horns whisked around the living room as she spoke, "I'm known as an observer of sorts. We are tasked with keeping the separation between universes."
"Between universes?" I muttered. Does this mean multiple universes exist? 
"Yes and..." She cleared her throat, "Unfortunately for you, darlings, there was a recent teeny, itty, bitty issue with multiple beings from different universes switching places with their respective counterparts."
Alexander followed her movement. "Do you think we're stupid?"
She tilted her head and made an X with her fingers, "No, well, maybe sometimes, but not in this instance, no."
Alexander crossed his arms over his chest, "What do you mean sometimes?"
"You act like we've met before."
"We haven't." She held up a finger and grabbed a book that appeared out of thin air." I have read your files, though." Ceram slammed the book down on the coffee table, and she threw it open. When she did, a plethora of pages exploded from it. Alexander pushed back partially into me. 
"Your lives are recorded in these bad boys in case of events like this." 
Her smile twitched, and she shook her head. "Listen, you both are in a different universe. This one, you're both much older." She flew near Alexander and peeked back at me behind him. "Luckily, you guys haven't changed appearance-wise." 
She closed the book, and all the pages that were sticking out and going off the table were sucked back in. Alexander inspected it, and her purple-eyed gaze fell on me.
"Thus, since you both have been sent to an alternate universe, you must act like your married counterparts."
"Married...I got married?!" I gasped. I haven't even gone on a proper date! I despised the memory of the only time I did go on a date and threw up on them. How did I get married?
Alexander's eyebrows furrowed, "to who?" 
She looked at us, confused. Then pointed from Alexander to me.
Alexander's eyes met mine, and then, in unison, we both exclaimed and turned back to her. "WHAT!?"
WHY WOULD I EVER DATE XANDER!?! LET ALONE MARRY HIM! My stomach started to feel queasy thinking about it. 
"What kind of sick joke is that? Why would I ever date a human?" Alexander protested with a perturbed growl. 
Ceram threw her pink fingertips up, "Okay, okay. It's a long story in this universe." She spun the book on the table, and the cover and the title changed. "Here's the story as to how they got together-" The pages went all over the place again, and she stuffed them back inside. "How about I give you the last month of their activity? I'm sure you can piece it together from there." 
I was in too much disbelief to say anything. Why Alexander? 
He put his hand over the book, preventing her from reopening it. "Even if what you said was true, why do we have to play along? We need to go back to our universe." 
"I'm working on it." She laid her hand on Alexander's. He pulled his back. She exhaled, "This is the first time it's happened on a wide scale, so we're having trouble figuring out how to fix it. So, we aren't sure what might happen if you don't. It could be nothing—you could tell everyone you come from another universe, and it's all dandy or," she chuckled nervously and spoke quietly. "or your universes might end up collapsing because of the mass recognition of you both being in the wrong one."
"You're fucking with us."
"No," she sighed. "I wish I was." 
"We play along, or we all die?" I whimpered, how am I supposed to process this?
Ceram floated near us both, leaving the book on the table. "If it makes you feel any better, it's not only you two; there are a lot of others who were also thrown into other universes." 
Alexander narrowed his eyes, "how did this even happen?" 
Ceram hummed and didn't answer. "That's a very good question." She swayed back, her body moved by the book on the coffee table again. "You're both happily married, and this book should answer any questions about your lives here that you'll need." 
"You didn't answer my question," Alexander said. 
An infinity symbol glowed upon her forehead, "Look at the time, gotta go! I'll be back to check on you guys later!" She vanished before we could get in another word.
I studied the coffee table's edges and the book. "What just happened?" 
"I don't fucking know," Alexander grumbled, our eyes met briefly. For some reason, I broke away first out of embarrassment. 
This is too weird. "Do you think Ceram was lying?" I walked around the living room, studying the shelves and the games. A lot of the books and games were stuff I was interested in. I found myself surprised, seeing a photo of him. Is Alexander smiling? I had never seen him smile like that except when he held Sasha. You look a lot better when you smile. I kept the thought to myself. I didn't want to argue with him right now.
"She had so much fucking magic, I felt like I was suffocating." His eyes stopped their glow. "This place isn't created with mind manipulation. I'd like to think I'd know..." He pinched the bridge of his nose, "and I can't imagine someone gaining something from us like this."
I nodded in agreement. "Do you think it's a prank?"
"It's too elaborate," Alexander inspected the room too. He picked up one of the pictures with us in it and looked at me. 
"What?"
He squinted and put it back down, "Nothing."
Fine. I walked back to the coffee table, knelt beside it, and picked up the book. "Ceram said this is about a month of us- or them together. Maybe it'll have some sort of answer?"
"Yeah," Alexander said, looking more annoyed as he checked over everything. 
...
Alexander
He pinched himself when she started reading. This isn't some sort of weird ass dream. 
His nose continued to pick at her scent. He smelled it no matter where he went, and his stomach growled in response. 
Fuck me. 
His attention, involuntarily, moved to Lynette. She was hunched over and reading. He took in another deep breath. The sweet and alluring air told his body to get closer. 
He bit down on his bottom lip until it broke, and the sour, foul taste of his blood drowned out his instincts. I need to go out and get someone. He needed an excuse to escape from the house and away from the Shrimp anyway. 
Alexander got ready to tell her that and stopped. I can't leave her here alone; she can't protect herself. He doubted Ceram was after either of them for any particular reason. If they had wanted her alone, they wouldn't have brought me. He rubbed his temples and paced around. None of this makes any sense unless we trust what she said. 
To him, this was too crazy of a scenario to be a lie. 
But why the hell would I end up with a human? His eyebrows dropped when he stared. I eat them. His frustration climbed up his throat. 
"Of course, out of the billion or so humans in the world, I still end up stuck with you," Alexander said, low enough for her to hear. 
She didn't lift her eyes from the page. "You invited me."
"I did," He stood across from her and attempted to read the page she was on. "If you were like any other human, I wouldn't have."
She raised her bashful gaze, "At least one of us isn't upset you invited me. The money's great." She spoke under her breath, " I just don't understand why some of you are jerks."
Alexander scoffed, and a slightly bothered smile showed. "You're the one that gets yourself in most of those scenarios."
"I do not!"
"You're a human. You shouldn't be getting involved or close to monsters anyway."
"And technically, my family is too, in some way, shape, or form, and they're nice! So is Viola, Tila, Elliot, June, Zane's a little weird, Drake-"
Alexander laughed, "Drake?"
Her lip pushed out in a pout, "WAY nicer than you."
"What have I done to you?"
She brought her hands up and balled her fists. She swung them around a little, then slammed them down as gently as she could, "Plenty! You chase me around, threaten to eat me constantly, you also practically..." she shivered. "Drooling every time you look at me, and you always look so annoyed with me-" she pointed at his face. "Like right now!"
Alexander turned his head to the side. It's not my fault. "I'm hungry—what do you expect."
"I can't even have a normal conversation with you!" 
"That's the way my fucked up body is," Alexander pulled back, his mouth tightened, and he pressed his teeth together. "I-" A single letter left him before his mouth refused to continue. 
He changed his response as he usually did. 
"You're what I eat. I'm a fucking half Wendigo. I'm hungry all the damn time. Yeah, sure, it's better now than before, but it's still in my fucking head." Alexander replied. "If you don't like it, don't talk to me."
Lynette lowered her brows, and her eyes clung to him. He could see the sympathy he'd only ever received from his family. 
He broke their eye contact, "Tell me if the book says anything important, I'm going to keep looking around."
Alexander walked away from her, checking over every little thing he could. The kitchen, laundry room, closets, dining room, and now he was moving upstairs too. 
Everything seems normal. He walked into the massive master bedroom. His eyes squinted over it. He noticed the Wakizashi sword near the bed. He smiled. One of Drake's nerd gifts. 
He realized it only helped prove that this alternate universe self had at least some similarities to him, or if this was a setup somehow, they did their homework. 
He next moved to the dresser in front of the bed, near what he figured was the master bathroom. He searched through the top drawers; they were things he'd wear. He continued to go through each one and raised a brow conspicuously. 
"What the hell is this?" He took out what he thought was a crop top and held it in front of his face. His eyes fell to the two prominent mound-like shapes protruding outward. 
When it clicked, Alexander freaked out and dropped it immediately. He faced away, and his cheeks burned. 
His mind steadily wandered to the one accursedly embarrassing time at the Halloween party. 
SHUT UP, BRAIN. He quickly picked it up, threw it in the drawer, and slammed it shut. He exhaled hard, letting go of relief and annoyance simultaneously.
Alexander stumbled back and sat on the bed. "Why would I even be with Lynette?" He inhaled and groused curses under his breath. His body focused on her damn scent again. He pulled his navy tank top to his nose again. Why do I smell so much like her? His mouth filled with saliva. It's like she rubbed herself all over me. 
His empty abdomen groaned louder, and he clenched it. A low growl left his vocals.
He pushed off the bed. Fuck it, we're getting out of this damn house, and I'm going to eat. He'd imagine she'd complain about him eating someone, but he lost all his will to care. 
He marched out of the room and heard her shriek from below. Without a second thought, his body propelled him forward, and he ran to the balcony. He grabbed the railing, threw his body off, and landed with a giant THUD against the hardwood floor. He flicked up and assessed Lynette. No one was around her, nor did she look hurt besides her deep red-tinted face. 
"What?" He asked as her lip quivered. 
"I-I f-found a part of the book that's uh-has, well-" she stumbled over her words.
Why is she acting so flustered? What did she read between the other us... He could feel the burning redness on his face returning, too, "S-sex?" 
Lynette squeaked, "N-NOO!" She voice weakly exclaimed, "worse!"
Alexander couldn't respond. His jaw hung slightly open in disbelief. His thoughts created figments of things that could be worse and fit the same bright red mortification she wore. WHAT KIND OF FREAKS ARE THEY?! "WHAT COULD BE WORSE?!" 
She dragged the book closer to her body and refused to show him. "D-don't worry about it."
"Oh hell no, this isn't some journal situation. You're showing me." He leaned over the table to grab it.
She got up from the floor and stumbled back toward the kitchen. "No, if you read it, you'll say something about it!" 
"I don't care, Shrimp. If I'm involved, I deserve to know whatever the fuck worse is." Alexander wasn't going to leave his curiosity unanswered.  
He grabbed her wrist and brought her close enough for his other hand to steal the book. He turned his back to her and held it high so she couldn't reach it. 
"XANDER!"
He opened it to about the middle. 
"H-hey! I didn't read that far!" She complained, and he was going to start here anyway. 
"Alright! Xander. I'll tell you where just- don't say anything about it."
He skeptically peered at the short girl and dropped it on the coffee table. He didn't say yes to her terms, but she searched the book to find the exact page anyway.
"Here."
He prepared to read the worst. Nothing so far. He soon got to the end of the page, read what he believed she meant, flicked back at her and, in flabbergasted frustration, yelled, "YOU THINK LETTING ME EAT YOU WILLINGLY IS WORSE?!"
...
Thank you for reading, GOOBERS! :D

I have a bitty Horror draft somewhere, but I feel like I never talk about Cross sooo
Bitty!Cross HeadCannons!
Bitty!Killer HeadCannons
Bitty!Dust HeadCannons
He's definitely low maintenance, very independent and normally relaxed
Easily homesick so he's okay with staying at home alone, absolutely a good choice for first time owners and if you have work or school
He might come off as standoffish at first, but that's just the stress of being adopted into a new home, please be patient with him <3
He's a huge sweetheart with the right influence and environment, however, depending on his previous owner(s) and house mates, it really depends, he can range from nervous/shy to feisty/reserved
He's pretty tame, and after a while of getting used to you, will accept and even enjoy affection, physical and verbal
Chocolate is his favorite treat, this is pretty common knowledge, he'll warm up to you faster if you coax him out with such a treat, also favorite lunch is tacos and I feel like he'll settle for other Mexican foods
I feel like he'd like the variety boxes and chocolate flavored things, and it instantly grabs his attention every time you bring something new home to try, I think he'd enjoy the soft insides of Lindor milk chocolate
I feel like he'd like parkour kinda things, entertains him at home to arrange various items to climb and jump over across, it also keeps him healthy and exercised!
Once you notice this, you probably should find bitty courses for him to play with, but nothing too stationary, something customizable, and buy him random obstacles and keep random things around for him to use
He could probably gain an interest in drawing, depending on you, maybe if paired with an Ink bitty (Considering bitties can't cause UnderVerse 😭)
I think he feels like a nerd, maybe he'd like watching anime and playing games with you, if you can find a compatible controller that is haha!
Although he's compatible with most bitties, he does best with Epic, however, they cause mischief together and maybe then it's not a great idea to leave them alone without some ground rules (They will draw two balls and a stick all over your walls, I'm telling you 😭)
He loves rewards, he'll be on his best behavior if he knows he'll get rewarded for it, I'd assume he has some pride, but not too big of an ego, just a healthy amount y'know?
That being said, he won't sacrifice a treat for Epic's shenanigans and that should keep them in check
He'd probably do small, but sweet gestures, he doesn't mind that you don't notice them, as long as he knows he's helpful
Okay let me backtrack to when you first get him, y'know, due to moving anxiety and possible bad past owners, he might be a little impulsive, might bite and claw at you, randomly be on guard even after you think you're bonding, BAM, yeah it might take a little bit but as soon as he realizes he has a good home that's not going anywhere, he'll mellow out
I'd say overall he's a pretty well-behaved and enjoyable bitty, might get a little clingy when he can, but very peaceful, take good care of him <3
Also never mention cows.

So... about season 3 Aki.
Ok harsh contrast to my previous, excited post, but I did say I had more to yell about episode 75 and I need to get this off my chest anyway. Plus, I remember mentioning in a post that I need to talk about season 3 onward Aki anyhow, so might as well do that now! I am thinking Big Thoughts and I need to Scream.
Long, incoherent, unhinged rant incoming because I have 100 things to say and 100000 screenshots to post, but I am also tired and my brain is mush.
Can we please talk about all the jarringly unfulfilled setup the start of season 3 did for Aki? Because I'm starting to feel an urge to claw at the walls. I'm gonna go through this, piece by piece of damning evidence, because I need to vent my utter confusion and frustration somehow, I guess. Okay. So.
After giving us a bit of time to settle in after the timeskip into the pre-WRGP stretch of things, the itty-bitty portion of the story Aki occupies at this point starts off arguably strong. Yusei gets kidnapped, everyone's in a frenzy about it, but Aki's especially worried.
Tumblr media
Then this. Funky new signer powers! Nobody's been able to do this before! I wonder if they're going to do something with that! (Spoiler: They're not.)
Then Aki "no sense of self-preservation" Izayoi gets herself in a bunch of danger trying to rescue Yusei and we get this:
Tumblr media
Oh! Wow! Aki can control her powers now! (Which: how. Why did they never show us this. That alone could have made for a whole mini-arc. Why waste that????) That would give the writers so many cool opportunities to let her use them! I wonder if they're going to do something with that! (Spoiler: They're not.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Side note: I love this scene. I love it to death. They're both ride-or-die "who cares for my safety when yours is on the line" for each other and I love them.)
Of course, shenanigans then ensue, leading up to Sherry's marvellous introduction.
Tumblr media
(Mwah. I blow her a little kiss.)
And it is at this point that Aki Has An Epiphany.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And to top it off, she gets some interesting interactions with Sherry, too!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So Aki resolves that she wants to become a turbo-duellist, too. And the thing is, this isn't a little one-off thing or something they never deliver on. They end up building this up for several episodes, bit by bit. First we get another mention of it at the pre-WRGP press thingy they all attend:
Tumblr media
Then it's brought up again when Yusei accepts the first duel against Bruno/Antinomy:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Also, side note again, but can I just mention that Aki also gets this moment the episode before:)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Where she literally puts herself directly in harm's way in a public setting to protect people with her powers??? Like, I'm sorry, pinch me or something, but how does that not scream "badass good girl setup"???? HOW?)
So we get at least three episodes worth of buildup where Aki agonizes over becoming a turbo duellist to understand what her friends (but especially Yusei) are feeling when they duel like that, and then they finally deliver on it and episode 75 has her getting her license. And it's fantastic. Seriously. That episode is golden. Not just because it delivers on this promise, not just because it has a really cute moment between Aki and Yusei in it (regardless of how you read their relationship dynamic), and not just because it (as per my last post) showcases how much the rest of Team 5Ds cares about Aki (by literally building a runner for her and accompanying her to her exam and don't even get me started on Jack beating up those jerks trying to make her crash unprompted) but because it gives us just that smidgen more detail about Aki's character, too. Because the thing is, at first, she majorly sucks at driving.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And not only is this realistic to a degree (learning to drive is hard, regardless of what you're learning to drive), it's also great, because you know what Aki's response to it is?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
She keeps going. She doesn't let it get her down, she gets back up and tries again. (And from a writing standpoint, this is lovely because that stubbornness is great in situations like this, but you could easily turn it into a weakness in a different scenario if you wanted to.)
And not only does Aki learn driving the hard way here, she also finds herself confronted with jerks who don't want her to succeed,
Tumblr media
(Ruka, sweetie, I love you.)
and she makes an absolute rookie mistake during her exam by trying to play a speed spell when she doesn't have the necessary speed counters.
Tumblr media
And feel free to disagree, but I think this is also great. Because honestly? While driving a really damned fast motorcycle that I'm not super used to yet, and being expected to make solid tactical judgements in an overcomplicated card game—the rules of which are slightly different when you're playing it on a motorcycle—at the same time, I would likely also mess up like that and accidentally try to make an illegal play. But the thing is, the episode rewards her for sticking it out anyway by letting her pull off a really complicated driving manoeuvre to save herself from her envious turbo-duelling-license colleagues' cheap tricks, and by letting her score a really nice win from a tight spot, much like any of the boys would have in her position.
Tumblr media
(Take that, you jerks. Dumbasses only get blurry screenshots.)
So Aki gets her license and is welcomed by the team as a fresh turbo duellist. Hooray!
Tumblr media
(I love them all so, so much, help me.)
And we also get this:
Tumblr media
Wouldn't you know it! Sherry's been watching Aki get her license with interest! And she seems to be mighty pleased with the result!
So. After all that, I don't think you could blame anyone (it's me, I'm anyone) for getting really excited about what Aki's gonna get up to from this point outward. Aki can control her powers now! And she got her turbo duelling license! And we've got a new, enigmatic side character who seems like she could have super interesting interactions with and play off Aki! I wonder what they're gonna do with all that.
*deep breath*
Sigh.
Seeing as I already know this show like the palm of my hand, I kind of dreaded getting past this episode because I know exactly what happens to Aki from this point out: Nothing. A whole lot of nothing. Okay, well, no. See, I went back and checked all the episodes I have left, just to make sure, just in case I forgot something (very likely when you've already watched the show three times, I know).
From here on out, during the entire pre-WRGP, WRGP, and Ark Cradle arc, Aki gets exactly three things to do:
She uses her shiny new turbo duelling license to fill in for Crow at the Team Unicorn match because he got injured. Which, on paper, is a perfect way to let her have the spotlight for a moment. Except, the only thing she gets that spotlight for is to last a hot four turns in the duel before losing spectacularly to Andre and literally never turbo duelling again for the rest of the show. (Like, yes. The moment where she summons Stardust Dragon is chefs kiss and legendary. But in light of the surrounding circumstances, it feels like a consolation prize to make up for the ensuing character trainwreck.)
Since Crow is technically still injured when they're meant to go up against Team Catastrophe, Aki trains to fill in for him there again. Except! They intentionally make her crash right before the duel, putting her in a short-term coma! And as the icing on the cake, when she wakes up, it also turns out she lost the powers she was only just able to control for absolutely. no. reason. None. They never bother explaining it, they don't even try to hint at why they might have vanished. (I have my own theories for why they had to let her powers vanish and they all start and end with the words "we couldn't be bothered to figure out how to write this character".)
At the very end of the show, the very end, after temporarily fridging Sherry, too, they dig both girls back up in order to let them participate in a three-way final boss duel with Crow. (Which is a fantastic duel, I love it to pieces. Genuinely.) You could argue that they tried to cash in on all the intrigue they set up between Aki and Sherry here, but—come on. At the end of the show? Seriously? Oh, and did I mention that for some reason, Aki's powers mysteriously reappear after this duel? For no reason? Again?
I just. It does not compute. They went as far as doing all this setup, letting Aki get the hang of her powers, letting her get her license, making her part of Team 5Ds, even giving us a new character that seemed like the perfect fit to let her bounce off of—and then, like some sort of kafkaesque reverse-miracle, they somehow managed to take a sharp left into "whoops, don't care about this character" and nearly wasted the entirety of that setup in one fell swoop. If it weren't for that finale saving at least a smidgen of it, I'd be holding a torch and a pitchfork over here. (Hell, I might, even knowing that Aki's final duel in the show is kickass.)
Please tell me if this is just me (15 years after the show released, I know, leave me alone), but this feels like they were literally loading Chekov's gun directly within view of the audience, only to later procede to toss the damned thing into the sea instead of firing it.
Okay. Okay, I think I'm done. For anyone who actually bothered with the whole post, first of all, thank you for your attention, secondly, sorry, but this does, indeed, still bother me ten years after I first found this show, so I had to get it out or it would have eaten at me forever. God damn it.
Anyway, if you'll excuse me, I'm going back to writing fics where Aki actually gets something to do right this second. If anyone's interested in giving a fic series where Aki gets a separate character arc that tries to stay mostly canon-compliant after the defeat of the dark signers a go, you can find my stuff here.

The ones I miss? Right…
Subnautica AU, megaop twins, dimensional crossover, de-extinction (aka: tfa bots get screwed a lot),Crypitid seekers, blitzbee baby au
Eeeee all very good ones! I love them all too 🥰 lemme see if I can throw out an idea for each, see if we can stir up some more conversations around them!
Subnautica AU... please consider peeper Starscream with his big ol eyes, starting to get the telepathic messages from mama leviathan as well as the schools of peepies. They're her agents, after all, dispersing trace amounts of enzyme 42. Mayhapa Star can be the one to free her? Maybe she doesn't have to die this time
Megop twins! Since we kinda got to an ending point, let's back up and consider some shenanigans with the twins on earth. Maybe an encounter with the humans, June scolding the bots for literally kidnapping two babies, or perhaps an alt version where Orion actually stays with the cons until after the twins are born and is only afterwards dragged off by the bots?
Ahhh, the cross dimensional shenanigans... that's a really old one. More of TFP Starscream and TFA Blitzwing being friends huh? Alright, then please consider when Starscream takes his leave of the decepticons in season 2, Blitzwing goes with him. Rather than running afoul of M.E.C.H. Blitzwing goes Oh Hell No and blows them up. No one else is going to bully Starscream on his watch, and especially not some hateful little organics 😑
De-Extinction AU my beloved! Aka autobots are all sterile and they're out of allspark energy and now their only hope of salvation is with the decepticons who can still reproduce... Optimus is one of the first people to sign up for parenthood. Who is having his baby? I think you know 🤭 who else? Prowl definitely has an interest, he'd fascinated by the idea of creating life! Maybe eventually the jet twins also finally get to reunite with their carrier after it comes to light that they were born rather than made... so many options!
Cryptic seekers... ah, I love them. What to do about them? What else can I say? Though they usually spit their venom, there are cases of them biting someone and the wound becoming horribly, lethally infected if immediate treatment isn't sought. Like komodo dragons 😌 they will bite if cornered, so watch out!
Blitzbee baby AU!! I haven't thought about that one in forever but I love it! Food for thought: the first time double agent Blurr gets onto the decepticon base in earth, two things happen: one, bitty falls absolutely helm over pedes in love with him and immediately scoops him up to snuggles. Refuses to put him down and cries so hard he gives himself hiccups when Blurr manages to wiggle free. The racer feels so bad he hands himself over again and gives his check in report still squished in the giant warframe sparkling's arms. Two, Blurr leaves with baby fever even if he doesn't quite know what that means yet.
I'll leave the tags for all these AUs on this post, so if anyone wants to take a look at them, here ya go! Easy access lol

ok as per usual im gonna dump all my ideas here & figure them out later <3
v; your bell telephone factory : dsaf-fluid factory phone au.
things i Want / need to keep in mind bc i want to use them / also make this unique from his other verses:
he's not the only pg!! i'll go refresh myself on the generations but i think i want him uhhhh peter-esque.......? bro idk i need my dsaf friends to remind me of stuff. basically i want him to have access to his pre-phone memories but not Immediate Complete access
im sorry i refuse to name any pg of mine scott cawthon all my besties hate scott cawthon <3 . but the pg name can be scott gyver in honor of one of my fave canon phone guy designs
blue head. i cant wait to confuse people by using my animatronic icons for non-animatronic verse >:)c
steven should have worked with other pgs in the past when he was human. i think he would have been lowkey scared of them but also never really got in trouble w them. uneasy alliance /lh. steven voice hey my life might suck but at least i dont have a phone for a head! haha. ha. ha
alright down to the details!
i’m thinking he discovers one of the kids’ bodies in the suits if I want to differentiate, or i can steal from dsaf & let him catch William (Henry?) in the act. I think either would work well for him tbh.
additional / alternate idea.... he gets caught during fnaf 2 shit. not a manager at that point (some other pg is). catches william using the suit & gets Done For. previous pg gets scrapped after all that shit goes down & steve comes to look over fnaf 1. it like. goes ok for a while & then the location goes into decline but doesnt technically close so he is just Standing There. <3 . he takes over night shift bc he just fucken lives there basically. has some line about how he's less likely to get his head bit in now that it's plastic so this is the best option for everyone.
im so indecisive about how & when he should die pre-phone. idk man idk. i think this is one of those things i need to develop better in threads / might be flexible & set at diff points thread to thread
pre-phone steve....
drawing from my hcs about him when he was younger, i think pre-phone phoney was SO bright & cheerful & nicies...
really good with the kids. excited about his first real job to support his family. not yet beaten down by fnaf-slash-dsaf shenanigans
i guess he'd die younger than 30 in this unless he gets phone-ified after his canon death point but that doesnt make much sense. so. itty bitty phone. youngun.
post-phone scott....
i am SO into the idea that he's never fired anyone. pushover of a phone!!!
he & peter can share their fake little photo of a completely different phone guy w a completely different family /lh. pg's so excited to have kids :) . he talks about them all the time! please stop telling him they dont exist!!!
partially to differentiate from animatronic verses & partially to bring in his fnaf 1 characterization i think he's pretty chill as far as pgs go. like he'll ask you to stop screwing stuff up but he'll also just shrug and leave if you tell him to shut up about it T_T . very difficult to rile up.
i think one benefit of phoneification for him was removing his guilt about jeremy where applicable. i think i am leaning more towards steve being human for that game, and the bite of '87 stuff being a real turning point for him in terms of . everything. (but blue, wouldnt it make more sense for him to die BEFORE the bite? yes. <3 and yet /lh).
i think he & jeremy would have been closer if he hadn't been manager + everything that happened there fucked him up severely. luckily, as a phone, he doesnt feel much about it at all!
is there anything im missing..... idk more to come. etc.

finally gave my nextgen ideas some colorsssssss (itty bitty bios under the cut)
Raine is the oldest by a long shot, adopted by Nya and Jay when he was about 7-ish. he’s much older than the core elemental inheritors, and is already a a full-fledged ninja of sorts. she’s not home a lot, usually doing missions and fighting evil and stuff. Lilly and Ry look up to him the most. his weapon is a guandao, forged with the help of his uncle Kai.
Maya is the elder twin, bio kid of Kai and Cole. they’re probably the calmest and most reserved out of the five of them, probably why they inherited the element of ice. they’re the least social, willingly at least, but it’s not out of intentional malice, they just have a rich inner life. and secrets. so many secrets. Maya is a natural strategist and enabler number one for their twin’s behavior.
Lilly is the younger twin, but only by about thirty minutes. she’s outgoing and LOUD, and very so excited to be an in-training ninja, just like her cousin Raine, FINALLY. she inherited the element of fire, and also her dad’s general hotheadedness and urge to stand out. graduating from her role as ringleader for most of her, her twin, and her cousin Ry’s shenanigans, Lilly’s usually the one taking charge as group leader. she’s also a gym rat, even though her gains aren’t even that visible, COME ON!
Rylan, usually Ry unless he’s in trouble, is Nya and Jay’s second kid, also adopted. to answer your questions, yes he’s a turned serpentine, no he doesn’t remember it, it happened when he was a baby and he was surrendered soon after. Ry’s the emotional heart of the group, most willing to talk about mushy stuff like feelings, to varying results from the rest of his teammates. he inherits the element of lightning. he’s big on scarves, but his favorite is the kitty cat one he knitted with his older sibling Raine.
Shan is a mystery wrapped in an enigma. they’re initially a suspect, a repeat offender for petty thefts that the ninja in training often pursued (because that’s all that Lilly, Ry, and Maya were qualified for, honestly) that somehow turned into a very reluctant friend along the way, mostly due to Ry’s efforts. and now they’re letting them live in the monastery full time? and now they’re the most worthy inheritor of the element of earth? sure. he butts heads with Lilly the most, she thinks they’re suspicious, he thinks she’s too bossy and full of herself.
