I made Masquerade VERY dramatic in this fic. Like, he won’t calm down. I love him.
Alright. Fuck it. I’m writing a fic where Alice and Masquerade become separate identities after BBB and they have a sibling/mentor relationship. I want to see them bond.
Alright y'all, lemme be real fucking clear here
Jake Lockley is not evil, Jake Lockley is not "just a killer", Jake Lockley is not a bad person
Jake Lockley is a protector in a system that has been severely traumatized as a child and were not protected and taken care of like they should have been.
Yes, he seems more prone to violence than Marc or Steven, but that does not make him an evil, unfeeling person. He's doing what needs to be done to protect them. The times we know for absolute sure that he has shown up (episode 3 in Cairo, episode 6 in the final battle) have been times where the system was about to die. In episode 3, Marc had been knocked down/out by Harrow's followers, and when he comes back front they're on a cliff. It seems like Harrow's followers were about to throw the system off of a cliff, and Jake came front to protect them and keep them alive, and you'll notice that he left the teenager alive, and let Marc back front as soon as the immediate life-threatening danger had passed. In episode 6, Marc was again on the ground, after Harrow threw his worst trauma in his face, with his soul being pulled out of his body, and Layla was surrounded by Harrow's men. Again, Jake fronted to save their life, and then stepped back once the immediate threat to their life was handled
He is not a cold-blooded killer, he's a protector doing his best to keep their system alive when there are people actively trying to fucking murder them
Stop writing him as this cold, hard, unfeeling person. Stop writing him as participating in senseless violence just because he wants to
You are doing a disservice to Jake as a character, and you are waving a bright red flag over your head that tells systems "hey I don't know what I'm talking about but I'm going to perpetuate harmful stereotypes because it's fun for me!"
Fucking. Stop. It.
Y’all when I was writing Chapters 6 and 7, I thought they were short. Before I published them, the fanfiction only had around 10,000 words. I added this two chapters and it jumped to 16,000. What the hell did I write about???

WBBA is an independent boarding school located in the city, it is considered one of the best schools in the country and was run by Ryo Hagane, the WBBA is also known for reforming rebellious students with a successful outcome. But at the end of the school year the principal passed away, leaving his best friend, Mr. Doji, in charge of the school, changing the administration of the boarding school, making it despicable to the students, but giving his clients a good view.
Let’s start with Kenta, he is the new student of the boarding school, he was unexpectedly admitted in the middle of the school year due to a family emergency, Kenta was very well received by the principal (which is quite strange) addressing him with a lot of attention and interest.
Although the case of Kenta is not a big deal, but it has attracted a lot of attention due to the interest of the principal, especially since he accepted Kenta in a very complicated period of time, getting a lot of attention throughout the school (just for the gossip) and of “some students”. He’s pretty lucky that Gingka is his roommate.
Benkei is nothing more than an average bully in boarding school, but he is the strongest of all the bullys, his favorite victims are young children, because apart from being an easy prey, they are the most protected by the prefects, making him a personal challenge for him. for that reason most students try to avoid it or give it what they want so they can be left alone.
He is the son of the former Principal of the school, he is a student who falls very behind others due to his low reputation caused by the disgusting mistreatment of the principal and being known for being lazy, he has such a bad reputation that even his friends have distanced themselves from him, or just his personal bully. Gingka’s disinterest reached such a point that he is not interested in anything, more than having money so that at least they do not leave him beaten
Gingka became very selfless and irresponsible since his father (the first principal) died, leaving Doji, his best friend, in charge of the boarding school. Gingka is quite distant from other students so as not to disturb them, he even tries to move away when someone wants to be friendly with him, so it’s not easy to be friends with him.
Madoka was the first friend that Kenta had at the time of entering the boarding school, she is the special assistant in the computer area of the IT class, thanks to her great programming and engineering skills, she became a highly respected student by the teachers, she even participated in a dispute over the prohibition of computers against the principal, where she ended up winning. She was previously friends with Gingka, but he ended up rejecting her shortly after when she confessed to him.
Previously, Kyoya was a good student at his father’s school, but with a very foolish attitude, as he was the son of a director of another school, he was very arrogant and ignorant, he remained that way until he entered WBBA, he changed to being a little more mature and determined in his future, being one of the best in baseball and Gingka’s best friend.
But when Doji took over as principal, the school was quite neglected, apart from considering criticism of the principal’s decisions as an offense, Kyoya completely opposed the administration of the new principal, causing one or another problem in the school, every time. bigger and more dangerous, blaming Gingka and his father, becoming one of the most dangerous students in school, even being an excuse for other students to follow in his footsteps, becoming a challenge for the prefects.
Tsubasa is the vice president of the student council, he is a handsome and hard-working boy who tries to help Yu with his position as president, he also tries to encourage him to do his job to give him space in his other position as prefect, Tsubasa lives Working all day, so he often does not attend class, but always tries to get good grades.
After the level of vandalism on the part of the rebellious students rose to a very high scale, his position as prefect became a mandatory job as he was chosen for his great ability in combat and boxing to monitor the most dangerous students for the cases of attacks with weapons, so it is not a surprise to see him walking around the school loaded with weapons (and he does not mind using them to defend himself)
Hikaru and Tsubasa were children that Ryo rescued from the streets of the city, offering to study at the boarding school in exchange for them to work for him, so she and Tsubasa are very good friends and together with Yu they are known to be a trio of mutual support, although most students question their type of relationship, but the reality is not the big deal.
When Ryo died and Doji took office, Hikaru was dedicated to supporting Gingka without caring about her reputation, losing respect from the students, however the situation escalated, when she got together with Gingka, more, envy for being the friend of a popular boy, They tried to tie her up with dirty and false rumors, although she didn’t care (because her priority was helping Gingka) one of the rumors affected her in a very bad way, so Gingka begged her to get away from him before worse, but it was too late for her, the harassment was so strong that she was terrified of leaving her room, luckily Tsubasa found out about her problem, denied every gossip and protecting her from possible attacks on her.
Despite his age, he is one of the most intelligent students, in boarding school he is known for being a very happy, sweet and quite intelligent boy who is dedicated to helping his classmates, but the truth is that he uses that image of a good boy to manipulate others and get what he wants, also, thanks to this he became the president of the student council. But despite all the above, Yu does worry about the situation of the students speaking for them while attacking Doji, he just needs a little motivation to do it because he hates working, but when he starts, he can’t stop.
Although Ryuga is the son of the principal, he is nothing more than an ordinary student who does not stand out much for his cold personality, his grades are average (NO), his school life is average, his popularity is average, but what is not average on him is his physical strength. He is the strongest of the prefects, however he is not in charge of monitoring dangerous students, since Doji is afraid that they will harm him, he is still responsible for the general application of the rules in the boarding school.
I ALMOST FORGET IT! thanks for @earthaquila and @spinning-top-hell for the headcanons
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever spoilers ahead
The love letter to Haiti, the world’s first Black republic, a kind of real world Wakanda, was woven throughout Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Griot, the name of Shuri’s AI, is also the name of the Haitian national food. Nakia was working at a Wakandan Outreach center in Haiti and teaching young people new ways to make efficient use of Haiti’s resources without depleting the small nation. Since the 2010 earthquake, Haiti has made significant strides towards reforestation, redeveloping its economy and rebuilding a once thriving tourism sector. In the film, Haitians were shown speaking French as well as Kreyòl (Haitian Creole). They were speaking their language instead of only that of the French colonizers driven out over 200 years ago but whose stain remains.
Griot with plantains and pikliz
Shuri traveled in a camionette, a brightly colored truck that often has a metal or fabric canopy and serves as ride-share taxis all over Haiti. Vehicle ownership is not very common so traveling by camionette is necessary. They are also called taptaps, possibly because of the sound riders make when they “tap-tap” on the side of the truck to let the driver know they wish to exit the camionette.

And finally, young Toussaint. He shares his Haitian name with the “father of Haiti”, Toussaint Louverture. He was born into slavery and eventually became a freeman. But he also led the most successful slave revolt in history and cleared the road for Haitian independence.
