Iruka coughed. “No,” he said. The food had gone the wrong way.
“Oh.” Naruto always held his ramen like someone was going to take it from him. “Okay.”
“Naruto,” Iruka said. “I got this old thing way before then. I promise.”
“Okay.” Naruto stirred the broth, chasing a stray noodle. “I always wondered, is all. If it was me, I mean. The Nine Tails.”
“It wasn’t.” Iruka put down his chopsticks. He licked his lips, and then dabbed himself with a napkin. “It was, um. Mizuki.”
Naruto’s eyebrows furled. “Who?”
“Mizuki,” Iruka repeated. “Mizuki-sensei.“
“Oh. Oh! That guy.” Naruto frowned. “That’s right. You were friends.”
Iruka sighed. “Best friends.”

I like to think Stanley knows a decent amount of physics after 30 years of self study, certainly enough to impress young Ford :) And wouldn’t it be fantastic if he could, at least once, casually correct older Ford on his math??
And yes, Stanley does intentionally mispronounce things just to rile his brother up XDD
cor's youth told through six relationships!!
mors - regis - clarus - gilgamesh - weskham - cid
i stan one (1) depressed frenchman and his perpetually agonized eyebrows
the continued (mis) adventures of buff smol stan and politely bemused grunkle ford
sorry not sorry XD
Set post-GT. Drawn ‘cause I was wondering what Goten might have felt, considering his dad had up and left again after one last adventure with Trunks of all people.
(Honestly, I just wanted these two old friends to finally talk to each other again.)
Stan tried to use the copier to study his brother’s books faster, but the clones kept crying themselves to death ):
So, I adhere to the headcanon that “our” Rick DID come back to Beth at some point (probably after the battle of Bloodrich). He didn’t actually abandon her for 20 years and that’s why he has memories of holding Morty as a baby. However, “his” Beth and her family were attacked by the Galactic Federation and killed.
That’s why our Rick knows he can dimension hop and replace a copy of himself, and why he’s so thoroughly apathetic to the C-137 family, even though he does have moments of fondness. They’re not his.
His baby died years ago…
I headcanon Cor went down for one final jaunt into Taelpar Crag when he decided he'd done all he could in this life.
Gilgamesh welcomed him back with open arms.
totally self indulgent headcanon tied into this: upon death, cor becomes another sword that gilgamesh wields, and the one he takes off-world with him when he finally leaves Eos.
Gilgamesh in final fantasy lore is a unique entity that trapezes around worlds looking for fights and weapons. he is nearly always encountered with a local-world sword as well as multiple weapons of his own personal arsenal. cor -- naturally -- becomes a katana, probably named lionheart or sword of kings or somesuch moniker, it probably changes from world to world.
when used in battle, if fed spiritual energy, a spectre of cor can fight alongside him like a vergil clone, either as the >55 year old cor died as or as the 15 year old gilgamesh first met, depending on whether the wielder requires finesse or feral brutality.
In this manner, cor truly becomes immortal, and used in the way he liked best: in battle, fiercely defending those he has deemed worthy and given his loyalty to.
