word count-1229

An- I KNOW THIS IS BUZ IM ASHAMED TO POST THIS KSN IF YOU READ IM SORRY will prob rewrite this when i pump out the second chapter of ocean reader..

_______________________________________________

All they can smell is the faint scent of iron and home made cookies that were now crushed on the sidewalk where Reader was bleeding out.

Today was readers 21st birthday and they have been out celebrating with friends. They had gone to the comic book store to pick up the dream issues Reader couldn't afford at the moment as a gift from all of them. Them being readers friend group and readers Best friend in the whole wide world Jammie. They then went to a karaoke bar where Edwin started singing memory by Elaine Paige.

it was Heartbreaking, and they all cried..even Ivan who was on back up vocals because he was previously thought unshakeable.

Reader felt a sharp pain when the knife first plunged into, They stopped crying a while ago for nobody would hear them and they were truly just losing the strength..

Their fingers felt numb; the faint smell of the fresh cookies were the only thing that kept them from closing their eyes. They were thinking of the first time they smelled those cookies..freshman year when they barely moved to New Jersey after growing up in California most of their life.

They had a final due Tomorrow , new issues to read, new album to listen to!! they can't die now! not- Not ever! Reader felt so tired and clutching their purse they finally took their last breath.

…Except they didn't

Reader blinked slowly as they opened their eyes. The bright shine of a big florescence light shining back at them made them flinch.

How were they here!? Where is here!? Reader jerked up and started to look around. They seemed to be in some shitty police station that hasn't been updated since the old ages…

FUCK

reader has read this common trope before but it was too early to assume so they just sat there trying to listen to what was happening around them. When tuning in they realize someone was talking to them.

“You will be living wi- Kid, are you even listening!?” The man in a police uniform cocked his hip and gave reader an attitude wich- rude!! What did reader do the guy?!

“sorry i spaced out!” Reader admitted sheepishly with a toothy smile

“well I'll explain it one more time, Since you have no other living relatives other you will be staying with your dad for however long” *The officers said, sighing slightly. It had been a pain in the ass tracking down readers father

“and that issss?” Reader asked with a cocked eyebrow*

“well according to the DNA test, Bruce Wayne”

FUCK THEY WERE RIGHT THIS IS THE NEGLECTED DAUGHTER TROPE!! THEY HAVE SPENT SO MANY HOURS ON TUMBLER READING THESES THEY ARE SKEWED BIG TIME!!

As reader was praying to every god they knew, the officer was making a few phone calls to contact Mr Wayne.

Reader is trying to make a game plan, these stories all end up with said Reader being sad, miserable and depressed, so here's the plan! When reader get into the manner they have to plan for the future, get a good job education and finally do all the shit they wanted to do that they couldn't because they were poor as heck.

The sound of their halting was loud as the officer stood with reader waiting for their father. instead the classic Alfred came into view instead . off was Reader After some paperwork. The car ride was awkward to say the least. Reader was looking down at the new hands they were given. They knew that they weren't welcome and didn't feel any offense to it, they just wished they had Jamie with them at this moment.

“so, how are you today, young master?” Alfred tried to make small talk with reader . “Your father is a busy man, sorry he couldn't be here in person but he is ever excited to meet you.” Alfred was Jamie's favorite member of the bat family. They would be freaking out, he spoke in an old british accent and it was so cool!

a moment of silence passed before reader remembered this is their new reality and this is not a comic book

“Sorry! My day could have gone better, I don't mind that he is busy!”

Alfred gave a slight nod before going back to driving to the manor and reader got back to daydreaming on what their new life could be like.

When they arrived it was just as marvelous as it was in the stories, just like ten times cooler are ya kidding!! Reader after being given the rundown of daily affairs that happen in the manor reader was shown to their room and told they can customize it any way they want as they were given a card with some money in it.

They couldn't wait to bring their dream bedroom, all the stories about reader being shoved into a forgotten wing were fortunate right and now Reader got to decorate a wing of this manor!!

The first thing they needed is their catboy body pillow that they got as a gag gift but it became essential for sleeping. Also some posters of all their favorites.

with what tho… reader had no phone no computer no ipad..wait what.. n-no ipad!? Reader lied. THIS IS A NIGHTMARE

as they wallow in laments of ‘God why me’, ‘why must the universe be this cruel!!’ a hole started to appear in the ceiling.

“what the frickkk” Reader drawed out they looked up in shock.. which should really not be that shocking considering what they went through but who cares.

slowly a bag started to flow down that was all bloodied up and had a sticky note attacked..

“servers lagged, mb” was all that read and Reader sighed before looking and seeing, IT WAS THEIR PURSE!! Their comics were in there,an iPad , charger, gum, mp3 (with wired headphones), toothbrush, a couple different bracelets and necklaces, and finally there was one and only one cookie that stayed touching the bag when they were brutally stabbed on their birthday, how fun!, and among many other things because reader was kinda a hoarder that didn't like to leave their stuff.

Reader was jumping for joy as they looked through everything and immediately started to see if their phone would work…AND IT DID!!! Reader realized that the other world's internet also worked so reader could still talk to their friends!

But who? Reader complicated who but they knew deep down who they wanted to talk to. Jamie . Jamie who would believe them no matter what and who understood them. So they went to their messages.

“Hey Jammie, I'm sorry I've been gone for some time! how have you been?” *reader sent with a smile curled up in a corner of their room in the dark

… its been thirty minutes, maybe this was a mistake! Maybee reader should stay dead and not bother Jamie mayb-

“Hey dude! I've been good, you missed our daily calls..are you okay?” *Jamie replied with a smile

YES JAMIE AJJSKAND

“I am far from home, but I'll be with you soon I think.” Reader replied kissing their phone before continuing to talk to Jamie for hours. It is really long and boring but at the end Reader decided to fall asleep and deal with the mess of the day Tomorrow.

Since you got the ship asks already, Past Trio for Character Asks, or if that feels too long/too much, one of the trio works too <3

Ira my friend there is no such thing as me talking too much about the Unholy Trinity. It might be too much for everyone's dashes and I wish I could put a cut but apparently I can't. My apologies.

Thank you for the ask!!

Lacie Baskerville:

How I feel about this character: My opinion on her is frighteningly variable. At first I didn't understand her character very well and thought she was crazy and selfish and loved her for it, but it made some sides of her make too little sense. Now I feel I get her better and that she's selfish but nonetheless a good girl deep inside and love her for it too but it's slightly less powerful and more disappointing than the first image I had of her. But deep down she's my beautiful unfortunate princess and she's precious.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Jack, and to a lesser extent Levi.

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Strangely enough, Jack? I really relate a lot to her only allowing him near because his feelings for her are on the platonic side. Especially since her reasons for that is in some way avoiding attachment because of her upcoming death, and yet he becomes her only (maybe first?) friend and she learns through him for the first time the meaning of loneliness and their relationship is so messed up but at the same time so pure and cute, I can't even?

My unpopular opinion about this character: I think she got viewed as too much of a wise, holy figure after her death, when she was really a  greatly traumatized soul, selfish, lonely and living in an unhealthy denial of her feelings and weaknesses. Also pretty immoral and responsible for a number of disasters, but ultimately out of good intentions. But at the same time, Jack and Oswald got their share of it (by Pandora and the Baskervilles, respectively), so I guess it's only natural for the dead (or supposed dead) to be only viewed in a positive light.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: I wish we had seen more of her character and her bonding with the people around her because the lack of development affected quite a lot my appreciation of key moments. For example, the scene of her last words when she apologizes to Oswald was beautiful and powerful but only left me confused as to how to understand it? Was she a victim or was she at fault? Did she regret everything in that instant or did she die without regrets? I couldn't concile all the Lacies in my head and I wish we had more scenes with her thoughts and from her point of view like in the LN, or in the piece of her soul that Oz carried to Jack.

my OTP: I don't really have a romantic OTP with her, because it sort of goes against her philosophy, as when she told Oswald in the drama cd that she'll never be with anyone. I guess I could see it differently in a non-canon-compliant AU though.

my cross over ship: I've never considered crossover ships for any of the characters but I'm trying to come up with some and for Lacie I'd say Kurogane from Tsubasa because their interactions would be hilarious and she definitely needs someone bold and loving like him.

a headcanon fact:

She is the greatest kitchen disaster, so much that her cooking is one of the few things that can actually kill Oswald (because he eats it anyway, both to avoid making Lacie upset and to avoid wasting the "food").

Also some random character study hcs because I have too much of these and could as well add them:

- Although she had forgotten all about asking Jack to find her and never expected anything from it, at the moment when she said it, she had actually meant it.

- Part of her actually liked that her eyes scared people off because she didn't want any attachment due to her future death, but it's the other part that made her want to stick around Jack and help him out when she saw him unfazed by her eyes and it was as refreshing as it was for him to be simply seen as a person.

- Secretly, she knew there was no way to make her death easier on Oswald and had become more alright with Levi's command for Jack to come visit often when she saw Oswald growing attached to him, so she kinda shipped it with the hope he would be less lonely. Which is funny because Oswald liked Jack partly because he felt he made Lacie less lonely.

Oswald Baskerville

How I feel about this character: He's my favorite character and I really hate that I love him so much. I hate everything about him and I love him and someone help.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Happiness. Also, Jack. (As much as I *love* his relationship with Jack, I know it is the complete opposite of happiness. But I still live for AUs where they're happy.)

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Lacie, probably. Not that there are many other canon-compliant possibilities, and Levi's just... no. Although, Levi probably really cared for him, in his own way. Lacie did, and Jack did, but all three of them made him unhappy. Still, if there is one person he will never truly blame, it's Lacie, even if he tried to kill her.

My unpopular opinion about this character: Honestly I don't even know what are the popular opinions on Oswald? Is he loved? Is he hated? I truly don't know. He is much more emotional than Jack, so I assumed that his villainy, although even more violent, is more understandable and less likely to make him unsympathetic? (What I assume to be a negative opinion, even though I'm not sure of it's popularity): I hate that he is such a victim. I wish he were easier to blame, that he didn't have such a good excuse for everything messed up that he did. I wouldn't like him any less, but I'm discovering my talent as a villain apologist and I love Oswald so much that I wish I could use it on him. Oswald haters please help me out, I really need at least one (1) good reason to hate Oswald so I wouldn't hate him for it. (I mean, when he blackmailed Oz by scheduling Break and the Rainsworth's execution, it was just so terrible but? I feel no one really thought it was because it failed and he had a good reason anyway? )

I'm serious, just unleash the hate, I'd agree with you (in some way).

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: One (1) civil conversation with Jack before he died, or that he lived long enough to see Oz fulfilling his promise to him and Jack realize his mistake and help make things right. Just that. I'm still not over how he died without a word and with no confirmation that the world will be saved and that his friendship wasn't all that fake, wtf dudes you're both just big idiots. Although I must admit there is a value to his canon death, as he needed to find peace and learn that this was not his mistake to deal with and his time was in the past, and because his death and his farewell with Lacie touched Jack and influenced him subconsciously to tell Alice the truth, though it was downplayed and only implied with a few panels that are easy to overlook.

my OTP: with Jack, and I'm unapologetic about it xD. (already answered about the ship so no need to rant more about it here)

my cross over ship: with Euphemia from Code Geass because they could bond over the fact that they had to commit genocide because of a certain compulsive liar they were a bit too attached to for their own good (I don't want to compare their deaths but, that too.) Also over being doting older siblings.

a headcanon fact:

He used to play a lot the melody from the golden watch when he was alone as Glen. He also had it on him on the day of the tragedy. Also on a lighter note, in another universe, Jack succeeded in sinking the world in the Abyss because he was smart enough to do it during one of Oswald's naps.

Random character study hcs because I can and want to:

- He is actually very hard to anger, but easily loses his temper if someone he cares about puts themself in danger (how in the past he was scolding Lacie for not waiting where he told her to, or how he was about to give Jack a piece of his mind for throwing himself from the tower in the LN, or for carelessly climbing the tree to meet Alice). After becoming a Baskerville and learning of his duty  in relation to Lacie, he felt so guilty that he could not bring himself to scold her anymore, becoming so compliant that he would just do what would keep her grounded/the safest, like apologizing when he isn't wrong.

- He is a lot less judgmental than Levi, or than what Jack thought. Even though he is too awkward to befriend people, he doesn't think much of them; he was never offended by Lottie and never understood her shyness, he didn't think much of Miranda at first, and he didn't think Jack's abnormality was necessarily bad or "disgusting", but because his wording is always poor, only Lacie realizes that about him. So I believe he would have minded Jack's past a lot less than what Jack believed, and Jack was just being an overthinking, anxious mess.

- He related a lot to Jack being overly compliant with Lacie, which is why he kinda ships them (between considering making Jack run away with Lacie or giving him her earring after her death...)

Jack Vessalius

How I feel about this character: He is just a cute bunny. With maybe some homi(e)cidal tendencies, no concept of how to love healthily, and a mandarin orange over his head.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Strangely enough, I have a hard time really seeing Jack in a romantic ship despite (because of?) his appearence. Plus because of his very special way of loving and interacting, most if not all his ships are of the unhealthy/problematic kind xD. Let's see... Oswald, Lacie, Levi, Miranda, Kevin, and Alyss (end of the series setting, not pre-tragedy)

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Oz, because I could rant for hours about their fucked up relationship and not be done about it. In a way, they both lacked a kind of intimate relationship and got attached to the other because in some way, he met that need. Oz, who had been abandoned by his father, lacked an intimate mentor/adult figure by his side, and Oscar wasn't present enough in their adventures to fulfill it. So Jack's fake act of sanity fulfilled that in a sense; showing him how to fight on his own, doing his oscar-winning speech when they couldn't run from the Pandora guys, saving him from Lottie and helping motivate him to have some self-preservation, stopping him from killing Mari, then killing Yura himself instead of allowing Oz to do it, ... and I feel that's why even after the betrayal, Oz still wanted and tried to save him (and ultimately succeeded). Jack on the other side was extremely lonely and in the need of an intimate friend, and once Oz saw his past and his point of view, and I feel that's when Jack grew the most attached to Oz even though that's when their disagreement started. It sort of explains his clingy-ness, and how he took his hand before they got separated. I mean, Jack was so tsuntsun in that scene, "are you sure you're okay with leaving me by myself?" with that dejected look that actually says "stay with me"? And how he looks away when Oz says "yes" in a very similar fashion to how Lacie looks away from him when he tells her he wants to name Oswald's music after her? Ah. They're a fucked up pair but I love it (tbh this is valid for each and every relationship Jack is involved in).

My unpopular opinion about this character: Jack is actually a good person whose tragic circumstances and Bad Choices (TM) set him on a completely wrong path, and he had originally little potential as a villain/antagonist. Which is why the resolution/end of his story was about him realizing his mistake and, even subconsciously, doing the right thing for it when there was nothing in it for him (because it was right before Dying For Good and I respect that).

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: I wished to see more of his character growth/redemption in the end; I wanted to know how things would have played out and what choices he would have made after his realization and admission that he was just using Lacie's wish to justify his actions and existence. Well he made the choice to give his body to the Core as "a new person", and he was trying to find a reason of his own for it (because the Core was dear to Lacie and Alyss), but that was either too much development or not enough.

my OTP: with Oswald *surprised pikachu face*.

my cross over ship: Nope. I just don't seem to be coming up with one.

a headcanon fact (and some random personality hcs because this post is so long idc anymore)

- He used the names of the characters Levi based on him as aliases after he faked his death

- On days where Oswald isn't waiting for him where he usually sneaks from, he actually goes to greet him before going to Lacie because he's so used to see him first and it feels weird otherwise (like in the LN comic with the cherry tomato tragedy)

- He's not on good terms with his siblings but has actually good relationships with some of their children.

- He subconsciously feels sympathetic for abandoned and red-eyed children, and pulled a Lacie with some of them while living post-tragedy.

- Has met Kevin after deaging once and starting to grow back.

- Oswald is the ideal image he has of a "big brother" because he lacks personal reference in matter of father/big brother figure and is quick to embrace Lacie's views (most of the time superficially though).

- He found the golden watch on Oswald after his death and was the one who placed it on Lacie's grave as a tribute.

hey what the fuck is this

Where did the idea of Roslin Frey being the one to stop the Red Wedding come from?

Well in the books, she was crying during the wedding and obviously felt bad about the whole situation. There weren't a lot of other ways for Robb to survive the red wedding other than a Frey exposing the plot. When I did this roleplay plot back in 2013, it was one of Walder's grandsons that exposed the plot, but I thought it would be better to change things up and have Roslin be the one to expose it, seeing as it would make her somewhat of a player of Game of Thrones and it would give whoever decides to pick up Roslin more layers of her to work with!
