So, guess who had more money to burn, and decided to commission someone to subject a character to The Troubles again?

This is a case where the moral needs to be said at the start: Timing is everything.

I have gone on record previously that I am considering commissioning a third part to a previous set of commissions, right?

This… ain’t that. It’s more so a “What If?” to it.

So, to set the stage, remember this?

If you recall, I used this as the background for a scenario where, in the immediate aftermath, Rouge used this as the excuse to get rid of Julie-Su by handing her over to the Dark Egg Legion.

Well… That’s just one way this debacle could have ended badly…

Consider the immediate next panel:

…doesn’t it look like Sonic only intervened at the last possible moment?

So…

…what if Sonic was a moment too late?

Well…

Let’s see.

Really does seem more and more like luck was on her side that day, all things considered…

(Shoutout @butterrrmoth for indulging me.)

I literally can never remember who betrayed who and whose actually lying to hiccup in the beginning of Shell-Shocked.

The Queen died and I think her impact on the world is best apparent in the fact that we all call her just The Queen. Truly one and only.

Shell-Shocked || Kaminari & Bakugou

@grcundzcro continued from here:

A Random Kiss || 17. a teasing / sensual kiss.

“You son of a bitch!” Bakugou screeched, utterly mortified as he watched the blue shell circle his character on the screen. He’d been winning by a landslide! Had left Kaminari and the shitty coms in his dust! Then Kaminari had to go and hit him with the worst possible item in the game!

Snarling in frustration, he could hear the blond laughing in his lap. Bakugou had chosen to sit crosslegged on the floor, and Kaminari had laid down in front of him using his lap as a pillow. That fucker! Bakugou had been winning too! And the bastard just laughed!

Growling, Bakugou glared down at his friend. Well if he could play dirty-

Bending down, Bakugou ignored the strain in his back as he lent down. His lips traced over Kaminari’s in an unside down kiss, a grin cocked across his face as his eyes stayed planted on the screen. Kaminari’s character sputtered to a stop, and Bakugou’s sped past him with ease.

Kissing Kaminari harder, his tongue peeked out, swiping over the other’s bottom lip before Bakugou leaned back, all too pleased with himself as his character passed the finishing line.

“I win.”

Kaminari considered himself pretty fucking good at video games. He may as well be since he spent more time playing than he did studying-- something Bakugou made sure to point out nearly every time he caught the electric blond glued to the T.V. Even so, Bakugou was ridiculously competitive. The guy ate, breathed, and slept Victory and made sure to try and rub it in everyone’s face, no matter the subject matter.

Therefore, Kaminari felt absolutely no guilt in using the blue shell he’d just gotten a hold of. Bakugou’s screech as his cart exploded on impact was the most satisfying thing he’d experienced all day and he couldn’t help but laugh at him as his Princess Peach zipped past him.

He was still laughing, even as Bakugou started leaning over. He thought the guy was trying to obscure his vision and was starting to move away in an effort to find a clear field of vision until he felt lips brushing against his own.

Amber eyes snapped wide open and his fingers immediately stilled as his heart hammered against his chest.

What... What was Bakugou doing?

Instantly, his cheeks heated up as the other pressed his lips harder against his own. Electricity buzzed under his skin as sensation overwhelmed him. He almost didn’t register the smug declaration of victory until he heard the end-of-round tune from the television and the iconic whistle signifying he’d ended up in dead last.

“WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT FOR??” he shouted as he shot right up from Bakugou’s lap and turned to stare at him-- face beet red as electricity visibly sparked along his skin in his surprise.

The full, sheer ridiculousness of Hiccup repeatedly and awkwardly trying to shake Astrid’s hand like just hit me, and now I can’t stop laughing.

Patriotism is a fine hothouse for maggots. It breeds intolerance; it forces a spindle-legged, spurious riot of colour…. A man of only moderate powers enjoys the special sanction of purpose, the sense of ceremony; the echo of mysterious, lost and royal things; a trace of the broad, plain childish virtues of myth and legend and ballad.
