WIP - Excerpt from "Secure Your Soul" (AU where Corpo V never leaves Arasaka)
From Chapter TBD - "Feed the Demon"
V wasn't sure how much time had passed, but as she started to regain lucidity, she became gradually aware of Johnny's voice in her head.
"I mean, for fuck's sake, V," Johnny was saying. "I've seen your memories. The things you've done for 'Saka. You've killed. Blackmailed. Ruined lives. And for what? Corporate rep? Profit margins? How do you live with yourself?"
V stopped dead in her tracks. She couldn't remember how she'd gotten here. The alley she was in was abandoned. Litter lined the sidewalk, and the street lamps were barely flickering. In a dark corner nearby, a stray dog was busy devouring a rat.
For a few seconds, V just watched it. Homeless dogs were a rare sight in Night City. This one was dark gray and half its left ear was missing. It looked lean and muscular, and it tore off chunks of its prize with a ferocity that domestic dogs almost never displayed.
"You see that?" She asked Johnny.
Johnny's physical image materialized in the alley. He leaned against the wall - appeared to lean, she reminded herself - and gazed at the dog. "See everything you see," he replied.
"You're looking. You're not seeing."
"That so? And what'm I supposed to be seeing?"
"The evolutionarily synchronized relationship between predator and prey."
Johnny looked up from the dog and stared at her. She could see the anger on his face, but she could also feel him manifesting that same anger inside her body. No matter. She'd make it hers. Anger was an emotion she could work with.
"You see one dog eating one rat," V continued, allowing some of Johnny's anger to seep into her voice, directing it back at him. "In your interpretation, there's one winner and one loser. It's accurate, in a way. The dog wins. Look at him. He's a survivor. Even you should be able to recognize that."
Johnny didn't answer. His image was looking away from her, eyes locked on the warring animals. But she could still feel him fuming. Only now it was hard to tell where his anger ended and hers began. She continued speaking.
"You don't see the bigger picture. For every dog having dinner tonight, dozens starve. For every rat providing the main meal, dozens get away. They're fast enough or clever enough to escape.
"Only the best dogs feed, only the best rats live. And because of this, over generations, both species improve. In the end, the prey species benefits just as much as the predator species does. And the world gets better."
"The world." Johnny repeated the phrase slowly. She tasted his revulsion on her tongue. "This world?" he asked. He gestured at the trash-strewn alleyway. The dog had finished its meal and had settled to sleep in a blanket likely left there before by a homeless person. "This is your brave new world?"
"No, Johnny," she responded, her voice echoing the revulsion he'd forced her to feel. "These are just the rats that got caught."
#cyberpunk 2077#valerie locke#johnny silverhand#fanfiction#wip#secure your soul: a cyberpunk 2077 fanfiction#god i love writing her interacting with him#her image is so deliberate normally even with other corpos#but you can't lie to someone whose pulse is your pulse#with him it's no holds barred#feed the demon feed the demon#she also feels his emotions which makes it all so much worse ughhh#she normally would believe these things but she wouldn't necessarily feel those associated emotions#that's what's created in the area where they meet#and it's AWFUL#😈

im a firm believer that Narinder has rizz but its the kind where he casually says stuff that he perceives as something glaringly obvious and then if you look to the side Lambert is close to exploding
#'devoted to a fault. competent and unwavering you trully are the most perfect vessel for me' and he means it too#lamb has to cope somehow#'traitor or not your ferocity is second only to mine. god of death i look forward to seeing your mighty ascention. dont disappoint me'#he means it as a threat but like. buddy#if you look closely you can see the devotion bar sing above Lamberts head lmao#im writing sometihing nobody come close to my google docs file it might bite#he holds them in his palm and tells them through purrs that hes beyond pleased with their work and praises them and then is surprised#when the first thing they do upon defeating him is to propose#pebbles (me) ramblers#cotl#narilamb

RETURN TO MONKE (PUBERTY EDITION)
MK’s monkey form doesn’t feel right to me so i wanted to break up his transformation into stages. Maybe as he learns to accept that side of himself it becomes part of him, instead of changing between human and monkey randomly (which is probably painful). Love yourself, NOW!!!
@zymstarz im tagging you for FULL MONKE
#ALSO BECAUSE. THAT BOY NEEDS A NOSE#i like the idea of MK constantly flashing between his monkey and human forms as some sort of internal conflict or identity crisis#and he can’t hold his monkey form for very long soo. I’m going to put way too much thought into it and say its some sort of repression#also I made the hair on the sides of his face more attached or growing on the cheeks so it kind of frames it#maybe it’s because his design is so top heavy on his head and that’s why the sideburns feel wrong to me#like it’s fine with Swk and macaque because their hair is more like a tuft. but MKs hair is longer it just feels less balanced shape wise#I also don’t see his tail being very strong right off the bat because it’s. a new limb so the muscle has to be underdeveloped imo#I’m still a firm believer in the face mark XP system though. that is his Minecraft experience bar fight me#ALSO ALSO going back to him flashing between human and monkey. I just like this idea because to complement that idea of identity crisis#like think about it. if he comes to accept this new part of himself he doesn’t have to decide between one or the other I guess? like he#gets used to exploring this part of his identity. also it’s like Pokémon evolution lol#my art#myart#doodles#lego monkie kid#lmk#monkie kid#lmk season 4 spoilers#lmk s4 spoilers#lmk season 4#lmk s4#lmk MK#lmk xiaotian#lego monkie kid fanart#lmk fanart

Ed Teach being clingy and Stede Bonnet happily and reassuringly indulging is something that can be so personal
#Gentlebeard#everytime yall write or draw ed being a clingy wife and stede lovingly responding#10 hp is added to my life bar#ofmd#our flag means death#think about how good it must feel to stede also#heres someone who loves and needs and wants to touch and hold him#after an entire life spent feeling unwanted and ignored and shoved aside#sigh#everything they want and need from each other#just flows so naturally between them

Do you think Ominis would feel different about being a parselmouth if he knew MC had a huge parseltongue kink? Like dirty talk but snakey talk?
Oh for sure, but I imagine he would be extremely conflicted about it.
On one hand he's always associated being a Parselmouth with Salazar Slytherin and his fucked up legacy, which he wants no part of. I remember he outright says in the Scriptorium that he "hasn't spoken it in ages" which is telling enough. But on the other hand, MC would be viewing it as something positive and completely unrelated to Salazar Slytherin which would make him draw pause. Then he would come to process why MC likes it, and he would have to hit pause again. Suddenly there's an upside to being able to speak to snakes, but I think he would still be self-conscious about it at first (understandably)
At the end of the day, I believe that Ominis being who he is means he would still dislike having such a prominent ability that ties him to Salazar's bloodline. He's too critical about his family to suddenly be okay with it. He would, however, be more open and willing to speaking Parseltongue with MC after getting their honest input and doing some reflection and contemplating of his own.
#asks#aurafelix#there's so many layers to Ominis' character and I think him suddenly liking being a Parselmouth is highly unlikely#MC would definitely have him viewing the skill a bit differently though#and I think with age and maturity he would be able to separate the ability from his family more and he'd feel less self-conscious about it#when he'd get into his Dominis moods though I like to imagine it's no holds barred#he takes full advantage and will start growling Parseltongue into MC's ear cause he knows they'll melt from it aahahAHAH#voice kink activated#ominis gaunt#hogwarts legacy

everyone on blackbeard's crew thinks he's almost supernaturally gifted at predicting the weather. he simply doesn't tell them the real trick is having a bad knee that will start acting up approximately one (1) day before a major weather change
#depending on who's asking about the weather predictions he just makes up something different each time#internally izzy's like 'last week these clouds predicted storm and now the exact same clouds predict good weather. whatever u say captain'#but he can't deny the accuracy. aggravates him.#ofmd#blackbeard#text#chronic pain gang rise up. migraine sufferers too we're all holding hands in this shitty bar

brain will not let me sleep until I say
same age padawans au where they’ve been in a weird wired frenemies thing for ages but now that they’re both mature adults (all of 24/25 years old) they’re more friends than enemies….
And it’s Obi-Wan that Anakin tells when he’s decided he’s going to leave the Order, not anyone else. He has a wife. There was a pregnancy scare a few weeks ago and it made her want their relationship to stop being a secret so they could really have kids. He has to leave the Order. Doesn’t Obi-Wan understand?
Obi-Wan, who has been a little in love with Anakin since they were younglings, does not understand. Not one bit. Instead of wishing him well and helping him pack, he goes to the Council and requests a mission in the Outer Rim….perhaps a month long or more…perhaps undercover? No contact with anyone on Coruscant. And maybe they could assign Anakin Skywalker as his back up? He can help with the undercover aspect.
And at first, Anakin is pissed because he was planning to resign from the Order in the next few days, but Obi-Wan convinces him to go on this mission with him….one last mission as a Jedi. To say goodbye to the Jedi life.
Obviously, Obi-Wan sort of wants to go on one last mission with Anakin because in his dreams, he wants the mission to go so perfectly that Anakin stays with him the Order. But realistically, he mostly wants to go on this mission to say goodbye to Anakin and then let him go, soaking up all his warmth and light, memorizing every casual touch bestowed on him because he knows they’re ticking down to the last handful of seconds together.
But then obviously the mission works TOO well and Anakin falls in love with Obi-Wan but doesn’t admit to it even to himself before they’re on the ship about to head back to Coruscant and Anakin realizes he doesn’t want to leave this planet because he doesn’t want to leave Obi-Wan if it could always be like this so he crashes the ship during take off so they can stay longer because he’s 24 and doesn’t know how to handle the immensity of his love except through destruction
#Kit’s silly lil AUs#obikin#I couldn’t finish the Democratic fic part today writing was so hard :(#I offer this instead <3#hopefully will get it up tomorrow#but anyway: no physical cheating but probably emotional infidelity as anakin falls in love with obi-wan but doesn’t notice#and a lot of pining but being brave about it obi-wan which could also turn into finding his rebound in the outer rim obiwan#which would then turn into seethingly jealous anakin#+ bonus points is that their cover is theyre newly weds#and obi-wan is like <3 you can touch me mister we have an open marriage <3#and this poor guy at the bar is being stared down by a vicious anakin and he’s like uh does your husband knkw that ????#but yeah here for pretty newly knighted obi-wan creating a situation where he gets to feel anakin touch him and kiss him on the cheek#and hold his hand and call him pet names#all the while being convinced that this is all he will ever get so he has to be satisfied with this#that the yearning will stop and he will find comfort in the memory of anakin’s arm around his shoulders once he’s left the order and obiwan#to be with his wife#also obi-wan gets wasted one night and someone asks how they met or when they fell in love#and obi-wan accidentally tells the drunken truth#not the cover story#and it makes anakin go 👀🧐#but then he gets too drunk and forgets it

hmm
if nerdanel's epessë were carnë, on account of her hair (or complexion), moryo's name starts making more sense
#actually i kind of love the idea of that being a multi-generational nickname#anyway. in my head nerdanel's naming scheme is like#'this baby is the most perfect baby ever born NO holds barred' <- is drunk on New Mom energy#'this baby has a beautiful singing voice (once he learned how to do that instead of scream)'#'this baby keeps waking up and wanting breakfast at three thirty in the morning'#'this baby looks JUST LIKE ME :D'#'this baby looks JUST LIKE HIM :O'#'these babies are identical'#silm headcanons#feanorians#silmarillion#nerdanel#caranthir

"But how could Aziraphale believe for a second that Crowley did that horrible thing" because Crowley takes credits for shit the humans do themselves all the time? Because Crowley gets mad when Aziraphale implies he's kind?? But then also gets offended when Aziraphale assumes the worst??? Idk man these two are a mess okay
Added on edit: That's why I kinda want more flashbacks in s3 from Crowley's pov. Because he's still a demon, yes, his main demonic tactic is being a massive annoyance, but that's mainly in modern times, he still had assignments to do and I doubt Beelzebub gave him jobs where he just needed to be an inconvenience. He could get away with not killing Job's kids but what if for other assignments he wasn't so lucky? And he probably had to be buddy buddy with not so top-nutch people too. I know we'll probably not gonna see the moral complexity of this explored but I think it's something interesting to think about.
#like yes aziraphale believes crowley to still be good to his core but he also expects him to do his job as a demon every once in a while#and crowley doesn't hold it against him anyway#bar the you're the bad guys line i cant defend that one lol#good omens#good omens thoughts#ineffable messes#star.txt#ineffable husbands#aziracrow#also 'he should know better' is so disingenuous when crowley doesn't tell him and crowley still has a job to do even if he doesnt like it#mind you we're talking about an angel and a demon for them horrible shit like ww2 are just another job

does rapper eren have a record 😕 ik his ass probably got put in a holding cell for like 3 hours bc of some dumb shit he did when he was like 18
😭😭😭 that boy been locked up so many times, it’s not even funny. Mainly just 1-4 day stints after he got into a fight with some dumb ass paparazzi or a fan that threw something at him. He also got arrested for having weed and a firearm in the airport when he was like 21. Just dumb shit. His last time though, the judge told him he was gonna lock his ass up for a long time if he came before him again and not even his legal team, who’s never lost a case would be able to get him out. He been on the straight and narrow ever since sjdjdj
#cherry’s asks 🍒#musician eren#musician x influencer au#eren headcanons#eren hcs#eren imagines#eren jaeger#snk eren#that and y/n told him to get his shit together bc she not gone hold his ass down behind bars 😭

still one of my favourite bat interactions lmao kuukou treating jyushi gently and then teasingly threatening hitoya with ✨murder✨
#this is vee speaking#*crying* i have been wanting to reshare this clip for a week now but couldn’t bc i had no internet BUT I DO NOW LETS GO 😭😭😭😭😭🙌🙌🙌🙌#lol i don’t bully hitoya as relentlessly as i used to and that’s bc the narrative does it for me now#but i remember thinking when this first dropped that the reason i probably like bullying hitoya is because kuukou himself enjoys it LOL#i like seeing the various ways kuukou uses physicality to get his affection across lol#i also think about this scene when i’m thinking about kuukou’s mastery over his body/strength lol#like when bat first gets together jyushi passes out from kuukou’s bars and hitoya scolds kuukou for it#and kuukou replies he’s not skilled enough to know how to hold himself back#and this scene shows exactly what he means he’s not skilled enough to hold back lol#kuukou constantly trains himself so he knows his limits strengths and weaknesses#kuukou’s flexing that strength against hitoya for funsies lol but he knows how to stop himself from actually harming him#lol i also like to compare this scene to a panel in the tdd manga where kuukou is just slapping the shit out of ichiro’s back#and it’s a friendly gesture lol but ichiro grumbles kuukou’s using too much strength#kuukou using that much strength tho is him knowing ichiro can handle it lol i like that they’re twin physical monsters#remember when the both of them physically chucked a huge ass man with one hand lmao

I just like the fact that Simon apparently has about a million of the exact same polaroid of Betty smiling at the camera. This man must have told her to hold still and keep that smile on her face for like 2 hours as he just snapped shot after shot so he could guarantee that he'd always have her by his side (and also always be able to make rituals ifg HFGDHS)
#adventure time#fionna and cake#simon petrikov#betty grof#fionna and cake spoilers#like seriously this man pulls out a picture of betty for the first ritual#and then another during the Lich ritual#he had like 2 or 3 amongst his shit he brought to Marceline's place in I Remember You when he asks her to sing with him#There's the one he pulls out at Root Beer Guy's bar (though admittedly that could be the same one he uses in the first ritual)#He's got a picture of her on the desk behind him in Holly Jolly Secrets before the war#(againt admittedly that's not the same pic BUT STILL I'M COUNTING IT ANYWAYS hgdsh)#like bro polaroid film isn't cheap fhdgsh why'd you take so many of the same picture#at least from different angles my guy#anyways I find it as hilarious as it is sad bc he's clearly now holding every picture of Betty he has so so dearly#</3 ough

once again thinking of that one photo where lewis is looking at valtteri like he’s the best thing that lewis had given up hoping would ever happen to him while wearing a t-shirt that says lovers only
#the soft soft softest eyes and small smile . while valtteri looked right back at him. holding a trophy ! oh ! the narrative and composition#of this photo was INSANE .#fairly sure ag once told me that the picture was taken during the same year that crofty said the ‘everything bar lovers’ comment about nico#and lewis and IF TRUE . dead#valewis#blessed.txt
