Clone Force 99 and their relationship with Omega:
Of all the brothers, Crosshair has the most "older brother" vibes (even if he is technically the younger brother - of ALL of them, amusingly enough). Like, he's super protective of her, but also frequently annoyed with her, but also lets her take the lead at times. Meanwhile, she gets easily exasperated with him and won't let him push her around, lending to the most sibling-like banter.
Hunter is, obviously, the dad: making Omega's safety his top priority, coming to recognize her independence and strength while still trying to protect her, basically juggling the need to give her room to grow while also controlling as many variables as he can. He's pretty much the dad of the whole group, so this is fitting; but since he's grown up knowing and being responsible for organizing his brothers and their skills, he's more concerned about Omega being in the line of fire compared to his brothers.
Echo, being the next most reasonable one in the squad, is what I like to refer to as the no-nonsense "mom sibling" of the group. He keeps track of Omega's whereabouts when Hunter isn't around, and he lets her stretch her wings while still guiding her and keeping her out of (too much) trouble. What makes this dynamic even more interesting is that Echo and Omega, being the two adoptees of the Bad Batch, also somehow end up being the most chaotic duo the majority of the time 😂
Wrecker fits more of the kid brother (or even fun uncle) dynamic - he teaches Omega some things, but also encourages seeking out more excitement/entertainment and loves to laugh and have fun. And he will ALWAYS watch his sister's back!
Tech has more of the "background supportive brother" dynamic with Omega: his more pragmatic and logical approach to most problems often contrasts with Omega's more sentimental approach, but he also serves as her mentor and tutor in a lot of areas and is unobtrusively supportive of her endeavors, keeping an eye out for her and her safety while also not being nearly as concerned as Hunter - and, on occasion, even Echo - are. I think the fact that he also has a pronounced chaotic streak (why wouldn't he, he has already calculated the risks and uses the chaos to his advantage) lends to him not being overly uptight or strict with Omega - he might normally insist on her keeping to her study schedule, but when crabs attack... cue the unscheduled study break.

with the final signal, the event has come to an end. the organizers wait patiently for conversations to end before speaking.
hubert stands in the center of the room as the bell chimes, indicating the end of the final round. "and now," he says, and begins laughing just a little. "it's time for the end of the round. you have given us such interesting… data for our collection."
"your participation in a scientific study is most appreciated," knoll says, smiling a little. "the data we have collected will be incredibly useful, i'm sure. we've prepared a variety of tea, coffee, and pastries for you all to enjoy before departing."
12PM. EST FEB 20
LAST WORDS.
with the completion of the mini event, knoll and hubert will stop by to deliver 'prizes.' hubert is surprisingly crafty, and has made them himself.
feel free to answer these asks publicly, as they have no bearing on the experiment. they're just a little thanks from us. ♡ happy valentine's!

Byler Week Day 4: Summer Love
Mike knows stargazing is supposed to be romantic.
Everyone says it! Movies, songs, people, ask anyone and they’d tell you: Oh, you want to do something romantic with your boyfriend? Have you tried stargazing, perhaps?
Well, maybe Mike hasn’t actually talked to anyone about it. It’s not like he can actually go up to people and ask for date activities for him and his boyfriend. Not to mention that it would feel like cheating anyway.
Now that he had prepared everything and they’re actually doing the stargazing and all---including midnight snacks and blankets and everything, he watched a lot of movies in preparation for this---Mike can’t help but think that there should be more to this.
Lying outside in the dark while it’s still fairly warm is all nice and well but Mike is ready to fall asleep at this point and Will sounds like he’s already halfway there. And if they fall asleep now, they’re going to wake up outside to old Patrick yelling at them to get off his lawn, ignoring the fact that this hill is not in fact his property and the severe lack of lawn.
And if they don’t, the sun will probably scorch their skin off before they get woken up by literally being burned alive. And how is Mike supposed to explain to anyone that he managed to give Will severe burns without looking like the biggest asshole ever if he can’t mention that this was supposed to be a very romantic date that he planned for literally two weeks every day and practically drove himself crazy with? Not that he wants Will to get sunburned to begin with! Will got burned more than enough for a lifetime, and he wouldn’t want Will hurting in any way, shape, or form if he can prevent it.
But he can hardly wake Will up now, not when he looked really tired earlier and told him that he didn’t sleep well last night. Even if Mike is getting a little cold after he gave all the blankets to Will who looked cold earlier and Mike can’t have Will be cold on a date that he planned, Mike would rather die than see Will shiver next to him.
Also, Will looks really comfortable, which is unusual because, for some reason, Will always sleeps in very strange positions when Mike is around. They haven’t had too many opportunities to sleep in the same room since they got rid of all the supernatural bullshit they had to deal with but every time it did happen, it looked like Will might break his neck any second. One time, he even managed to slide halfway off the bed they were sharing---which was a whole different kind of nerve wrecking---and Mike had to hold onto his arm and drag him back up so he wouldn’t hit his head on the floor. And then Will gave him a black eye with his elbow and started freaking out when he woke up the next morning (that part was actually kind of funny but Mike still couldn’t open his left eye for two whole days).
Though Mike’s arm started to go numb a good ten minutes ago with Will’s head lying on his shoulder and upper arm and also kind of crushing the rest of it with his weight. But if Mike had the choice between letting Will sleep and losing his arm he wouldn’t even have to think about it. He’d cut his arm off if Will needed to hug it to get some decent sleep.
…
Mike can’t help but scrunch up his nose in disgust at the image. Why on earth is he thinking of Will cuddling his cut-off arm?
“Mike.” Huh. Maybe Will isn’t as asleep as Mike had thought. “I can hear you think.”
“Sorry.” Mike tries to clear his head and fails miserably. The image just won’t leave his head and also drags some other images out of the debts of his memory that he would like to forget about now if possible. Will squeezes his hand a few times and suddenly his thoughts are back to Will. For the first time in two months, their hands together don’t feel sweaty and he doesn’t hate the warmth that transfers from Will’s skin to his.
Summer is the worst.
“Don’t apologize,” Will says and shifts onto his stomach and off Mike’s arm to take a look at Mike’s face. He must see something he doesn’t like---is it the freckles? It’s probably the freckles. They’re so much worse in summer and they’re everywhere. Mike remembers trying to scrub them off his face in second grade and wishes he had tried harder---because he frowns and drags Mike’s arm up from beside him to squeeze his hand again. “What’s wrong?”
For some reason, Mike’s eyes tear up at the question. He stares determinedly up at the sky and threatens them in his head for a few seconds before he takes a quick look at Will and looks back to the stars.
“Summer is horrible for relationships,” he says, which isn’t quite what he meant to say but decides is true enough. Summer sucks because it’s hot and sweaty and even sitting close together is too much most days and even at night, Mike finds things to complain about.
Will smirks, amusement in his eyes, and Mike is ninety percent sure he knows what he’s going to say next. “Are you sure? Your face told a different story when we went to the pool two weeks ago.”
Yep, he knew it.
“Shut up.” Mike mumbles and threatens the heat on his face just like the tears from earlier. He’s less successful this time and Will grins at him with glee. Mike could point out that Will had reacted much the same when Mike had let himself be dragged toward the water and out of the protective shadow of a tree but he already ruined the day enough, Will can tease him all he wants.
But Will’s face sobers up too soon and he pokes Mike’s cheek two times, prompting him to talk.
“This date sucks.” Mike wants to take his words back when he sees Will frown again.
“Why? I think you did a great job.” Will drags some of the blankets over Mike while he talks and shoots Mike a look when he tries to drape it back over Will’s shoulder. He folds one arm over Mike’s chest and rests his elbow right next to Mike’s ribs on the blanket. Mike wants to poke at Will’s cheek when he rests it on his hand, so he does.
Will smiles and bats Mike’s hand away.
“It’s too hot or we’re too tired or we’re not alone and this date could’ve been so much better and now I’m making it even worse by complaining.” Mike takes a deep breath and watches Will’s arm rise with his chest. Will smiles, eyes fixed on the skin just underneath Mike’s eyes before he starts to trace a finger over Mike’s cheeks. His smile grows a little, maybe it wasn’t the freckles after all.
“Remember date number seven?” Mike does but Will doesn’t give him time to answer. “We got soaked in the rain and you got almost hit by a tree during the storm and I started crying because I thought I ruined the whole day after I almost poked your eye out with a spoon.”
Mike tries not to grin too wide at the memory because looking back at it, and even in the moment itself if he’s being entirely honest, Will’s face in the moment had been hilarious. Until he started crying of course, because Mike hates when Will cries.
“You had to comfort me for ten minutes and you said that I couldn’t ruin anything no matter how hard I try. I don’t think a little heat is going to ruin a whole date for us.”
Will’s face looks calm and happy, even though the only thing that separates them and the hard ground is a thin blanket and he’s still brushing a finger over Mike’s face and his wrist must hurt a little where his head rests on his hand.
“You sure?” Will nods and brushes his fingers over Mike’s eyelids.
“Yep. Now go to sleep. I got us covered.”
Mike opens his eyes again when he feels Will shift and chokes on a laugh when Will pulls a whole alarm clock, batteries and all, out of his bag and places it above their heads.
“You brought an alarm?” Mike almost can’t get the question out between the mixture of laughs and coughs and Will grins his widest grin yet.
“I knew it would come in handy,” Will says and Mike calls bullshit immediately.
“Of course, you did.”
“You think I’m lying?” Will challenges and raises his head to look down at Mike from above.
“I think you’re full of shit.”
Will laughs, loud and unrestraint and maybe they should keep a little quiet if they don’t want to invoke Patrick’s wrath in the middle of the night but Mike couldn’t care less.
If he gets Will laughing like this, can the day really have been that bad?
Mike watches as Will buries his face in Mike’s shirt to smother his laugh and not wake up the whole of Hawkins.
He watches as Will’s shoulders shake and he rubs a hand over his eyes to wipe away tears of laughter.
He watches as Will gifts him his biggest smile and decides that the day could’ve been a lot worse.
@bylerweek2023 thank you for organizing this event and week and you put so much work into it! And your tags were so nice to read, so thank you so much for doing all this! <3

do you have a Bakugo playlist mayhaps? 👀 youve always had really fantastic music taste 🎧 just wondering if theres any certain songs you listen to that inspire you when you write our favorite blastyboi 💣 besos!
Not a playlist specifically. I usually just put on one of those daily playlist spotify makes "for me" and go with the flow. Every once in a while there does comes a song that makes me do a double take and I have to file it away in the brain box for later (I take a screenshot on my phone). Fair warning tho, one of my favorite artists is Olivia O'Brien which means its sad girl hours 90% of time time 😂.
BOOM BOOM POW
songs that remind me of Bakugou
The Fear - The Score
Hot Girl Bummer - blackbear
Something in Between
idfc - blackbear
Mascara - Niykee Heaton
Think Before I Talk - Astrid S
I Have Hella Feelings
Bakugou realizes 'oh shit I'm in love'/In a relationship
Why - Sabrina Carpenter
Easy - Camila Cabello
Think I'm in Love - Kat Dahlia
Fire Up The Night - New Medicine (this would be tagged explicit in AO3)
To Bakugou Katsuki
songs I think would be dedicated to Bakugou
(mostly krbk, with some bkdk sprinkled in)
It's You - Ali Gatie
Boys Like You - Anna Clendening
My Oh My - Camila Cabello
Used to This - Camila Cabello (very bkdk tbh)
Almost in Love - Olivia O'Brien (established bkdk with pining kiri?)
That Part - Lauren Spencer Smith (there's a krbk fic I love by mostlybritts on AO3 that's pretty much this, give it a read!)
On another note. I still listen to a lot of early 2000s punk rock and You're So Last Summer - Taking Back Sunday inspired a multichapter fic I'm (trying to) working on.

"Can I make OCs In Carnival?"

" Can I dub/voice your stuff?"

" Can I ship the characters/self ships/ OC x Canon?"
- Aughh.. this is gonna suck to explain cuz its a lot to ask..
You're allowed to ship any ship! My only boundary is that it doesn't include either Pomni or Caine being with others who are not eachother!
For example:
Ragatha x Jax ✅
Pomni x Jax❌
Kinger x Queenie✅
Kinger x Caine❌
As long as the ship does not include Pomni or Caine individually, I'm all aboard!! I respect Jax x Pomni shippers, as well as Kinger x caine shippers, I just don't like them myself and don't want to accidentally stumble upon them in the tag! I do apologize if that's a lot, it just makes me uncomfy! Bounderies can be very tight! :')
