True Love 💕

Au where when Saiki was younger, he sometimes ran into Aren's mom injured and helped her out, and he became something like an unofficial medic to her and her little group. Sometimes when Saiki was patching her up, she would vaguely talk about her kid around his age and stuff. Well, she wouldn't mention Aren by name or talk about him out loud but Saiki just reads her thoughts and so he vaguely knows about her little Hoodlum but then she and her gang moved and Saiki being a little too good at Rock Paper Scissors happened and so they got separated and drifted apart.

Only for some odd years later (Like, four or five) and Aren transfers into Saiki's class with his whole trying to be a normie spiel and how he is totally not gonna be a punk anymore. Aren doesn't really look like his parents (In the same way of how Kusuo and Kusuke don't really look like Kurumi) so Saiki doesn't really suspect anything- and neither does Aren, and they carry on. Imagine a similar situation as the street magician Chouno Uryoku and how his ex-wife did not look anything like how the dude thought of her.

Saiki never really got out of his Street Medic habits and Aren sometimes coming to school with some scrapes from gangsters either trying to pick a fight or drag him back into his past only exacerbates Saiki's medic habits. Like, he always used to carry bandages and alcohol wipes and antibiotic ointment, but had talked to just carrying bandages because a whole medkit had been annoying to carry and needless for an esper like him. Though, he had started carrying a bit more for Kaidou and Hairo when they become closer. (Saiki adds the antibiotic ointment back into his repertoire for Aren)

When they gets close enough and Aren invites them to his house is when the fun really starts. Kaidou and Nendo find Aren's baby album and look through it and everything. But Saiki spots a smaller album on the book shelf and is thinking "Better not show too many of these family albums to those two, who knows what we might see" trying not to think about the album collections documenting his parent's dates and stuff.

And when Aren comes back into the room the four are just vibing and hanging out, Aren even bought out some Coffee jelly as an offering thank you for coming ya introverted bean. So, even Saiki is in a pretty good mood. And then they hear the front door open and close with shuffling and stuff with a 'We're home, Hoodlum!' and Aren going to greet his parents like the totally good kid he is, and Saiki is like "??? That voice sounds kinda familar."

And whadduya know!

When Aren's mom turns around from putting stuff in the fridge, Saiki instanting recognizes her and its the same lady he helped all those years ago! I imagine its not a big dramatic moment but there is a "What a surprise" moment. And she's just like "Haha! Little Medic, you're friends with my brat, what a small world! I hope he's treating you and his other friends right."

And Aren is standing there after trying to introduce his friends like "What." Kaidou says "You know Saiki???? But he never leaves his house!" But Nendou is the one to be like "Wow, Aren's Mom, how do you know my buddy?"'

To which Aren's Mom says briefly that Saiki used to get discounts from the stores near her hangouts (Rough part of town, but great prices for stingy child espers) and how he used to help her and some of her girls. Aren is over here dumbfounded, and Kaidou is just like, "wouldn't he have been like, six, a decade ago??" That Saiki pointedly does not confirm.

But Saiki and Aren's mom are over here just casually talking while all the other teenagers are standing there, bewildered. Like, Aren is over here being like "Hold on, I thought Saiki was a goody-goody, He knows my mom?!?" Meanwhile:

Aren's Mom: How's that brother of yours?

Saiki: Moved to Britain and is still a sore loser.

Aren's Mom: Haha, good to know he's not bothering ya! So, how's my little hoodlum doing in class? Not being a brat is he?

Saiki in a true show of open candidness: If he was a bother, he wouldn't still be in my class.

And Kaidou and Aren are nearly shitting their pants from this being like "SAIKI?????" with it just completely flying over Nendo's head.

Then, the rest of the hang out is Aren's Mom sharing stories of tiny Aren while Saiki is eating more Coffee Jelly

The Analog/Digital Horror Recommendation Post

A lovely follower of mine asked for recommendations on Analog Horror series to watch since I mentioned I'm a big fan of the genre. I figured it would be best to just make a big post about it all!

This post will be split up into three sections: 1) Direct links to Analog/Digital Horror series with series that I have actually engaged in being in red bold 2) Links to analog horror commentary Youtube channels that do a great job of breaking down and explaining series because they can get kinda confusing 3) Some particular series breakdown videos I highly recommend.

Okay y'all, that should keep you busy for a long time, lol. As I said this will be periodically updated as I find new series and videos! Please feel free to add in your own recommendations in the replies, reblogs, whatever if you have them!

SO- I’ve been going to Momo-con all week this week, and I’ve been looking around for dc comics, to get a better idea of the general Batfam storyline, and I found a good fair few- I got two redhood comics detailing his backstory and what happened after, and a copy of nightwings 1st solo series debut, AND TELL ME WHY HIS HAIR IS SO- SO GLORIOUS IN HIS SOLO SERIES DEBUT COMIC. I COULD NEVER-

AND THE EYES???? IS MANS IS MADE OF BEAUTY OR SUM??

Danny, after running away moving to Gotham a few months ago begins making little commentary videos on a social media app.

It was fine and all with mostly friends viewing them up until his meta gene activated. He didn't even know he had a meta gene and kinda figured any of the ghost stuff he did as Phantom would have activated it if he did have one. Nope!

His newest video started out with him wearing a red beanie, "Hey guys! You know how I just moved to Gotham a few months ago? Well, turns out I have the meta gene!" He takes a moment to let that sink in before continuing, "Most people get there abilities or whatever through a lab accident or an explosion or something and end up with like telekinesis."

"I, however, am hated by the universe and got scratched by a cat," he then yanked off the beanie to reveal two large cat ears, "and turned into furry bait. On that note if you have any tips on how to avoid Catwoman please leave them in the comments section. For my sake."

Dick stared down at his phone in shock. He needed to show his siblings this

In the meantime Danny has to deal with his channels popularity skyrocketing. "This is not what I want to be remembered for."

Bonus points if Danny gets one of those FMK questions that are all bats and he responds with, "Kill? A bat? Listen, if I get put into a death match with a bat the only one dying here will be me. I cant even do a backflip, what makes you think I could even touch one of them???"

I'm so glad I got back into writing fanfiction this year after 8 years.

I never thought any of my little fic would do well and I've been blown away by how they've done. @zinder-fox and @venelona If not for you two, I don't think I would've written many at all ❤️

To end the year, I want to pick a few of my favourites that I wrote 😊 1. what dreams are made of This is the first one I wrote and the idea had been in my head for months. I really proud of this one, since I didn't even expect to get even 10 kudos. It encouraged me to continue to write.

2. light in the darkness I remember really wanting to do a mafia boss Dazai x bartender Atsushi fic. I was so happy with how this one turned out and I'm currently working on a sequel. I hope to have the first chapter done for Dazatsu Month.

3. give me a sign It's not one of my more popular fics, but this one if my favourite that I've done.

4. start of something new My first dazatsuya fic😌 I can't believe with how well this fic did. I want to write more fics for them in 2025.

5. isn't he pretty? I want to thank @zinder-fox for writing their mafia boss Atsushi fic. I was inspired. This one I have a sequel written for Dazatsu month.

6. darkest hour This is my second favourite fic that I've written. I love it so much.

ehehehe been having thoughts about an au.....

I've crafted another scenario for why doesn't Shen Jiu beat the shit out of Disciple Shen Yuan

But it's fucked up

He sees Shen Yuan, newly transmigrated street kid, rush out to protect and then comfort another much younger street kid and gets a visceral reminder of Qi-ge before

This kid reminds him viscerally of Qi-ge but if he was this kids Shizun then this one couldn't leave him

He can also make him better

Make him care about the correct things

Shen Yuan agrees to come with him (System orders) but tells the other street child that they will see each other again someday, he's sure

But he doesn't promise and that makes Shen Jiu even more sure he has made the right choice

Shen Jiu moves this kid into his house and works on molding him into what he thinks Qi-ge should have been

He's obsessed and all his focus is on Shen Yuan and his training. He doesn't abuse his other students but he doesn't pay attention to what they are doing either

He's harsh and his words hurt but he can't bring himself to touch this kid much less hit him.

And when he does think about touching it's not out of anger and that's worse

But he doesn't lay a hand on Shen Yuan

Not yet

And then Luo Binghe shows up

And Shen Yuan who has been so good. So obedient is now arguing back

Because that little useless street kid Shen Yuan was protecting? That was Luo Binghe who is ecstatic to find his saviour in his new home

And Shen Yuan is caught in two people's obsessions that he can't escape even as they rip him apart

I know this doesnt reqlly matter but, i just had my final musical theater showcase of the year today! I was a little nervous because i was slightly late for my dance, but ive been told that i did very well on my song!

This has been a PSA.
