The first time he did it he was full of adrenaline he blacked out, didn't realize what he was doing, then the next thing he knew, he made someone catatonic, and he doesn't know how to reverse it
He doesn't have any medical background first of all, and he doesn't want to(t̶h̶e̶y̶ d̶e̶s̶e̶r̶v̶e̶d̶ i̶t̶)̶
Maybe someone broke inside of his and grandma's house, they got into a crossfire someone hit grandma, and that's how it happened
Watchdog Ford combined with Henchmaniac Ford. Don’t know if it's been done, but here we go with another horrible idea.
So I read some watchdog Ford (MisterTiberius, or whoever coined this au because now I am unsure who it was), and I wrote/read some Henchmaniac Ford (Cough @coniferouspines Cough can't help but mention their Henchmaniac Ford, the manic energy is absolutely insane and I drew on the mania a bit but this is based more on an unwilling Henchmaniac Ford. Henchmaniac under threat if you will).
So, I was thinking...
Watchdog + Henchmaniac = Axolotl's Acolyte Ford
Don't get it? I know, my thinking is erratic! I'll explain:
Ford is Bill’s closest confidant and friend. While he was human they had their problems but since becoming a henchmaniac he has been able to see far more clearly. Anyway, Bill likes to complain and he complains about Frilly all the time. Ford really didn’t know who was talking about but it has something to do with their interdimensional takeover, so he listens.
While Bill is idly talking Ford's ear off, Bill mentions The Axolotl and the second chance that he will NEVER need because he and Ford are absolutely unstoppable. Ford agrees, but as always, he stashes the information away in case it's useful.
Well, everything goes so well for them until they open the portal to the abyssal dimension. Stanford did not have the time to properly name it before their forces had been obliterated. If they were considered demons, then what would they call those abominations? No one was spared. Any dimension that was connected to the portal was invaded and destroyed, consumed by the abyss. Stanford and Bill had been pushed back to the final stronghold, the home dimension.
It was hardly a fight. Whatever their abilities were, it absorbed any power the two threw at them and grew stronger. Stanford had fought hard, fighting to protect his family until it was made known that they were gone. Taken while he was fighting.
Stanford lost all will after that. What was the point of fighting when his family was gone? All he had wanted was to give them everything they could ever want, and now... they were gone.
However, being consumed by these creatures, stripped layer by layer down to his soul- whatever was left of it anyway, Stanford recalled what his friend had said. Stanford needed that second chance more than Bill, but would they answer him?
He calls anyway.
And his call is answered.
He floats among the stars, puffs of gas and particles that almost look like clouds float around him. There can only be one answer. The Axolotl answered his wish for another chance.
The name had suggested it, but being faced with a massive Axolotl was more intimidating than he had imagined, more so when he remembered that it was a more powerful being than even Bill.
It almost seemed happy when he asked for a second chance, but it had a catch. It could not (or would not) restore his world, but would grant him atonement in a new way, but only if Ford agrees to serve it instead. Desperate for a second chance, a chance to see his family again. Ford agrees.
He is cured of the mania that came with being a henchmaniac. For the first time in a while, he is free of the obsession of his desires and the twisted thinking that came with his change. He becomes overwhelmed with guilt in his clear mind, he had made so many people suffer, including the ones he had wanted to protect the most...
And yet... the Axolotl gives him the task of saving his brother. Or rather himself and his brother throughout different dimensions. To change outcomes for the better...
Why?
The Axolotl did not really answer him, but it was something about liking twins. Weird, but it was giving him the chance of saving Stanley.
He takes it.
None of the Stanleys can never truly be his. He ruined his chance, he is not human, he can never be human again, but he now feels far more peace in his new purpose. He feels far more at peace with the axolotl who granted him atonement for his grievous wrongdoings.
He can find existence bearable despite the crushing weight of his past. As long as he can save other timelines from the same suffering.
...
Consider this a Henchmaniac good ending because nothing good can come from Henchmaniac Ford plotlines! They have already lost, folks! Anyway, this took me a week to post because I was nervous about tagging someone...
"Slowly, he leaned over the immobilized body, his nose grazing Will’s exposed throat, inhaling that sweetness only Hannibal could detect. His lips followed, touching skin. Without hesitation, he bit down on the Adam’s apple, teeth pressing just hard enough to pierce flesh with sharp canines. Will’s blood welled up, and Hannibal sucked with delight, like sweet wine from a rare spring. The sound of suction, the loud swallows, was obscene. Graham’s body shuddered beneath him, eyes shut, lips parted, overtaken by something he couldn’t name—rage, fear, pleasure. The way his body fed Hannibal in that moment, the way the man seemed so ravenous for him, twisted something inside Will, and it just felt right. "
Whumpier version of Flash 9x04 where Bivolo uses his powers on Barry the whole time.
You’re telling me he overwhelmed Barry with fear to capture him and then NEVER DID IT AGAIN?!?!?! Imagine how he could fuck with his emotions even more…
I mean. Barry kept him in a 4x4 box for NINE MONTHS. That’s plenty of incentive to cause him as much anguish as possible, and with his powers there’s SO MUCH potential there!
He can make him scared, that’s awesome. Fun, definitely whumpy, but why stop there when there’s so many other options?
In classic 1x08 fashion, make him angry again. Make him thrash in his bindings and threaten to kill all of them once he gets out of here… But he can’t, because his powers are suppressed, and that helplessness just makes him angrier.
Then after a bit of that, switch it up again. You know what would be fucked up in this scenario? Rainbow Raider 2.0 (she might’ve had a different name; I don’t remember) style, make him happy. Uncontrollably so, unsettling even if he weren’t currently captive. This is where the physical torture should start btw. Stab him or smth and watch how he just grins and can’t even react to the pain.
At this point we’re definitely going for humiliation as well as maximum anguish, so it seems fitting to make him sad next. And this is Barry we’re talking about, he’s got sorrow and grief the size of a hundred suns, so you know once those floodgates are open it’s gonna get rough real fast. Ah. A superhero reduced to a sobbing mess in front of his enemies entirely against his own will. Sounds fun to me.
Maybe add some more emotions (my braincells have run out), but definitely at the end— turn it all off. Let his emotions go back to normal with no interference. After all of that; see how horrible he’ll be feeling of his own volition :)
Eric just recently released from prison and he's in a rather dire need for a job to sustain his life. He tried his best to not went back to his old way that landed him in prison, but the temptation is just too big when things seemingly won't get better for him in any foreseeable future after 2 weeks he got out from the prison system. So, after a solid morning workout in his younger brother's house, he headed rather early to a local school. There, he strut right into the locker room to find the PE teacher/coach currently preparing himself for his first class. Without hesitation, he just sauntered the oblivious man and then quickly raised his pit just when the guy realized that someone else is in the locker room with him
It didn't take long for the PE teacher to be subdued under Eric's intoxicating sweaty pits as his body instantly slumped after mere 10 seconds of being exposed to Eric's pits.
Then, like a horned-up teenager, his body went into overdrive as his gaze turned lustful yet submissive. That's when Eric planted the idea for the teacher to submit his resignation as soon as possible and came up with any kind of excuses to justify it while also recommending a good friend of his named Eric Stonestreet to fill the vacant position.
Within a week, Eric is installed as the new PE teacher and head coach of the football and wrestling team. And not only that, he got a sweet home to live in with his dutiful boyfriend that decided to gave up his career in education and served Eric full time at home.

Let me not fall
Let me not falter
Let me not align with anything or anyone who engages whether anonymously or not, in oppressive acts of:
Mental manipulation, misinformation, disinformation, fear mongering, war mongering, rage baiting, unilateral authoritarianship, gaslighting, exploitation ... And every other act which leads to no good thing meant to nourish the soul, but is rather complicit and enabling in the corruption of it.
For even when my immediate source of engagement is disclosed and not anonymous ... A great amount of that comes by way of so many others before them cowering in their animus under the umbrella of anonymity.
C.
animus
/ˈanəməs/
Animus generally refers to a strong feeling of dislike, hostility, or ill will. It can also describe a motivating spirit or intention, or, in Jungian psychology, the unconscious masculine traits in a woman's personality.
Common contexts and definitions include:
Hostility or Ill Will: A deep-seated prejudice, spite, or ill feeling toward someone or something.
Example: "He harbored no animus toward his former rival."
Motive or Spirit: The basic animating spirit, intention, or governing purpose behind an action.
Jungian Psychology: The unconscious, masculine inner personality present in the female psyche (the counterpart to the anima, which is the female aspect in a man).
Silence can be peaceful, it can be calming, respectful, needed, but THE silent treatment,
That's something different.
It's not a pause. It's a punishment. It's what happens when someone uses absence to control you.
They don't yell. They don't explain. They just go quiet, cold, distant, unreachable and they stay that way until you give in. The silent treatment isn't about space. It's about power.
You'll find yourself replaying everything you said. Wondering what you did wrong. You'll feel pressured to fix it even though you're not sure what IT is and that uncertainty, that's what makes it work.
Because when someone refuses to communicate, you're left, guessing and eventually you stop focusing on your own needs and start focusing entirely on how to get them to engage again.
You apologize just to end the silence you bend, you soften, you tiptoe not because it's your fault, but because the quiet is unbearable and for the person using it, that silence becomes a tool.
It says I control when this relationship feels safe, I control when you feel seen and if I withdraw, you'll chase me.
It can show up in romantic relationships with friends. Even at work, anywhere someone wants to win without having a conversation.
So how do you deal with it? You stop chasing the noise. You name what's happening.
You say "If you're upset, I'm open to talking but I won't be punished with silence" and then you hold your ground because communication is a two-way street and if someone refuses to speak unless they're being agreed with they're not looking for connection
