I Saw A Fairy Tail AU, And Thought “Wow, I Can Make That Hurt A Lot,” So Here’s My Own Version.

small 4&8 comic thing

📺 The Umbrella Academy

im sorry if youve been asked this before but i couldnt find it -- what honorifics do the ndrv3 kids use? do any of them use first names?

Good question!

Answers under the cut.

Also some mild spoilers, so be careful!

Keep reading

you're laughing. The umbrella academy's final season destroyed every character's personal growth and semi-healed traumas, left huge plot-holes, completely abandoned some of it's most beloved side characters that were crucial in previous seasons and you're laugh-oh. You're crying. My bad. Go ahead. Let it out. Understandable.

is there anything so undoing as a daughter?

I just officially watched the first three episodes of season four and I’m debating watching the rest after seeing spoilers. But my takeaways so far are:

After all they’ve been through, they still don’t really keep in touch? Weird but okay.

Sloane and Ray just gone like that, huh? Doesn’t make any sense but sure.

As a Luther fan, I am devastated that everyone so far has cool upgrades on powers except him, and not only that, they incorporated Pogo’s DNA being part of his power??? How does that work??? Also, like, how awful is that??? He was finally normal again and they go back to bringing that trauma back in his life??? I kinda wanted to see how his power would’ve evolved into new stuff like the others, but whatever.

As a Ben fan since season one, what is happening here. I know this Ben is not Umbrella Ben, but like, cryptocurrency scam artist Ben? No real character development Ben? The plot revolves around him but he’s hardly on screen Ben? Only good thing is that he was giving major Doc Ock vibes in episode three.

I like the potential whump fics that will come out of them getting their powers back. But even a fan of whump fics, I could’ve done without the excessive visceral vomiting.

Diego seems like he was written by someone who really didn’t get his character. I mean they all did seem OOC, but Diego especially to me??? Like that man didn’t give stay at home dad vibes last season with Stanley??? Lila being the stay at home parent? Really? No.

There’s a lot I would’ve changed so far, but I guess overall, the first three episodes were okay.

Just as a reminder to those hyped about side order, this is Nintendo’s official opinion of Agent 4 from the Splatoon website:

Look at her face. Does she look like a pushover? Someone who is just a little wacky? No. This is a teenager who fought an entire Empire. And *won*. People I know keep saying she’s not as impressive as Three or Eight and like?? Just because she did the same thing as Three makes it no less impressive you ding dongs. In fact, she did it with less help than Three had, AND kicked Octavio to the curb WHILE HE HAD CALLIE ON HIS SIDE. She’s practically a force of nature. And it’s not like the Splatoon devs to forget something like this.

No matter what your hopes for side order are, don’t expect Four to be some damsel in distress or anything similar. Remember what the contents of the Splatoon 2 campaign were. Remember that Four is not a member of the New Squidbeak Splatoon because “someone has to be Agent 4!!!” Because I can almost guarantee the devs haven’t forgotten. I say with complete confidence that their definition of Four being “pushover” is a red herring. She’s going to kick our ass on February 22nd.

Get ready.

I crave BAMF Tubbo and more fics about Tubbo’s bond with the SBI-mostly Techno, because those two have more similarities than most realize.

So, AU.

Technoblade and Tubbo are a bit closer in this AU. This starts a bit after Tubbo is adopted into the family. 

Techno knows his family loves him. Of course he does. But..it’s hard sometimes, being the only one without wings. Being the only one with no resemblance to them. And Tubbo comes, and he’s adopted too. And Techno feels a bit of a bond with him, the two of them being the only none-bird hybrids in the house. 

So those two get close, in their own way. Anyone outside the family probably wouldn’t see it, but Tubbo learns how to do stitches when his big brother comes home hurt and can’t do them himself, and Techno memorizes the storybook his little brother has him read every night, with no complaints. It’s the little things. 

Tommy has Wilbur, and Tubbo has Techno. And they all have each other. 

Eventually the family starts drifting a bit. Phil starts playing favorites a little. They try. They really do. But it’s not enough, and one day, Techno and Phil return to an empty house, and a note that explains that Wilbur is taking the kids and going somewhere else.

Techno finds a worn bee plushie on his bed, with a note of his own.

‘I’ll see you soon!’ 

Fast forward however many years later, and the piglin hybrid finds himself getting a call. From Tommy, who babbles about how he wasn’t supposed to call them, but Pogtopia(?) needs help and so does Wilbur, and Tubbo’s in trouble-

A mess, really.

Techno comes, of course. They’re family. He would never leave them when they needed him.

So he joins the rebellion, does what he can, and then, tragically, the festival happens. 

(Not even an hour ago, he was farming potatoes while Tubbo chattered away from his side, a wide smile on his face, and eyes full of trust and warmth)

Techno has never done well with peer pressure(The voices, the voices, tHE VOICES). He aims his crossbow at his little brother’s chest, from where he stands locked in a cage, with frightened, worried eyes. He stalls, waits for any signal of rescue, any sign that he won’t be the weapon that takes his brother’s life.

Nothing comes. He can see the exact moment Tubbo realizes. His eyes are still trusting, and his smile forgiving, as his hands shake from where they’re wrapped around the cold iron of his cage.

He pulls the trigger. Blood flies, the voices roar, and somewhere in his blood rage, Technoblade realizes that this place was doomed from the start-and if it was not, then it certainly was now, with his gentle-hearted brother’s blood staining the earth.

Tubbo respawns in Pogtopia, and his eyes are glazed and unseeing. Wilbur tries to make his brothers fight in the pit. The hybrid refuses. Enough blood has been spilled tonight.

Here’s where the training starts. Because Tubbo’s blindness will not remain, is not permanent, luckily, but it will still take time for his eyesight to return, and there is a war coming.

It would be a dishonor to himself and to his family if he were to leave Tubbo unable to fight after rendering him so.

It just so happens that, prepared as ever, Techno learned how to fight blind ages ago. Because you never know what will happen, and he needed a challenge. So he teaches Tubbo.

You’ve got heightened hearing, so use it. Pay attention to the sounds, pay attention to the air, pay attention to the people. Give them false weaknesses, use your real ones, press every advantage. Be quick, be clever, be merciless.

Anyway, Tubbo becomes a total badass. Either nobody knows, because Techno figures doing this secretly will give him more of an advantage, or they don’t take it seriously, because, well. They don’t take kids very seriously, often, even in wars, do they? And it’s Tubbo. Tubbo’s never a threat(not).

Fast forward again. Schlatt dies, Pogtopia loses, and Wilbur tries to make Tommy president.

You can see the shared moment of confusion between the two. The slow realization that they’re setting up another government, after what the last one did.

(Tubbo thought they’d make L’manberg a community, or something. No government, no politics, just peace and them, all together again. Techno just didn’t think they’d use him for the very thing he fought against)

Tommy turns it down, and gives the title to Tubbo. In front of everyone.

Tubbo’s never done well with peer pressure. Just another trait he shares with the eldest brother.

L’manbergs explosion happens, the withers, and such. In the chaos, Techno is giving out every subtle warning he can for his apprentice without saying a thing. 

Wilbur dies, and Techno flees, and from here, there are two options.

Option one: He takes Tubbo with him. He grabs his horse, and offers a hand out for the other, and Tubbo takes it, because he has no intention of being president when there’s another option.

They run and make a cozy life in the snow, eventually joined by Philza, Ghostbur, and, much later, a Tommy who held on and got hurt for it.

Option two: Techno doesn’t get the chance. Tubbo is forced to stick around, and bare the weight of a nation he can feel crumbling by the day. The events of canon happen, with much remorse and unhappiness between the brothers.

Dream is defeated, Snowchester forms, and if Techno finds his way over there, and the two trade apologies along with gifts and warm drinks, well. There’s nobody around to see.

Basically, just Tubbo being cool, and epic, as he should be, and Techno and Tubbo being brothers, and bonding. 

Seriously, if anyone has any good fics with BAMF Tubbo, and Techno and Tubbo friendship, please tell me.

Let me get this straight:

- there was no dance number

- barely any good songs

- no mention of the weird Korean ben with the side part

- Sloane and Ray were written off with one (1) line

- sure Ray walked out but why on earth did Sloane disappear if she was there with them in hotel oblivion I guess we’ll never know

- we were told Reggie erased everyone’s memories about Ben’s death but ??? it was physically impossible for him to have erased ghost Ben’s memory. Like, did Ben never discuss that with Klaus? It looks like he didn’t even realize it was Reggie who shot him, did he never ask Klaus how he died? 😭

- they showed us sparrow ben obsessively drawing Jennifer in s3, sort of insinuating he survived the Jennifer incident in the sparrow timeline but he straight up didn’t recognize her at all now? It’s like they were meeting for the first time?

- where did that subway even come from

- um. Five and Lila

- how the hell are their kids alive in the last scene if the siblings never existed

- why the hell are the Swedes and pretty much everyone from the commission there alive at the same time if they were meant to be taken from different time periods and that’s meant to be a true and pure timeline without any time travel whammy

- seriously wasn’t there a scene with an old timey black and white picture of the Swedes they would NOT be there in 2019-2024-whatever-year-it’s-supposed-to-be

- why does grace have a stroller in that last scene whose kid is that

- on that note what’s up with Lila’s family, to me that kind of insinuates all of the 43 WERE born in that timeline but… there’s no mention of any of the children or any of the siblings bio families

- which completely ruins the last plot point of ALL of the marigolds having to be destroyed, please even if the other children weren’t born there they straight up still had a half a jar of marigolds in Diego’s van 😭😭😭

- ALSO what was Abigail’s motivation, am I crazy or did she go like “fuck you reggie for wanting to destroy the world to punish you I am going to destroy the world” ???????

And I’m not even touching the whole Five characterization thing oh my god
