Through the darkness, the computer screen illuminated the pale skin of Adelae's face around the black mask. Scrolling through the submitted questions, she came across one that made her smile.
"Dear Lady Shade," She read aloud to herself. "Why did you choose to be a villain instead of a hero?" She chuckled, shaking her head at the simple, loaded question, before selecting it and opening the page to write a reply.
"Hello Blogger KittyStan41. I bet you're expecting the classic tragic backstory in response to this question." she typed. " Dead parents, treated like trash as a kid, and it all came to a choice between rising to defeat my inner demons or succumbing to them. Well, my real answer is possibly something you haven't considered about the world of Heroes and Villains. Answer this for me, what is the goal of a hero? To make the world a better place, perhaps? No, dear KittyStan41. The classic goals of the Hero might seem epic and noble, but in the end it all comes down to stopping the Villain. What kind of life is that, when your only goals derive from the actions of someone else? Your whole life is used up as a preventative measure. Now does that sound like a good way to live?
"I chose to be a villain not because I enjoy hurting people, but because I have goals that I plan to achieve. Don't bother asking what they are. If I told you, everyone would know, and people (baby heroes) would get in the way. Then how would I achieve them? I aspire to more. Is there need for a better reason?"

It all started with a superhero, one who vowed to help save the world and use her powers for good....But how can one keep a promise if they don't remember making it? What happens when the lines to right and wrong blur? When promises have to be broken? When the one thing you thought you could never lose, your morality, comes into question. What happens when the only person in the world that understands you is the person you believed was evil. But a reputation can be fabricated, evidence can be tampered and memories can be manipulated. How does one decide who's good and who's bad? Who's the hero and who's a villain? Maybe the only real difference between the two is a change in perspective or perhaps keeping an open mind. Sometimes even a "Villain" has a good side and even a "Hero" has a bad one...so what would happen if they were to see eye to eye?....Who would be there to pull them from the deep end?...or maybe the high tide is exactly where they want to be.Complete
🖤Love Takes Time. 🤍 (Y/n X Peter fanfic, Ybg🔪🔞)
💌 SPOILERS: This is a script to a comic I am making, and there is events from the game. But, if you would like to read this before the comic, just consider it a fanfic :) 💌 🔞Warning: 18+, gore and violence, mention of stalking and kidnapping, sex and nudity, self harm and suicidal themes. 🔞 ∆∆description∆∆ 💕// This is a story of my head cannons of the Yb characters. In my au, they are in the kindness route. Y/n: is Non binary and they change between masculinity and femininity constantly but still prefer they/them pronouns. They aren't exactly supposed to represent "You" in my au, like how some people put there main oc for y/n. They simply just are their own character with an unlabeled name, or just a nickname "YN." They were born a girl, but became transgender and got top surgery to look in between fem and masc. They thought about getting bottom surgery, sense they were not comfortable feeling like a girl but they never got enough money. Peter: He is pretty much the same. but y/n sternly talked to him, telling him that Lucy and Tk are simply just friends. He tried to be less intimidating to them, trying to give them a chance for y/n, but he still gets extremely jealous as usual. He also cut off a lot of his hair after his emo phase, but he never shaved his hair or anything, so he has short fluffy hair in my au. no more bald golf ball peter 🥹 Both: Since y/n was very kind with Peter, Peter was more patient and didn't think to kidnap him or do anything forceful yet... They got to know each other much better and Y/n moved in with Peter months later after the beginning of the game. Tk and Lucy are mostly the same with just a bit different designs and back stories with y/n...Tk and Y/n used to date but some stuff came up and y/n needed a break.. but Tk still loves them dearly still to the present time. Lucy and y/n are besties but Lucy gets on Y/ns nerves a lot. //💕 I hope you enjoy my story! ❤❤Complete

'Broken Image' ♡ (MXM) ♡
(This is targeted for people 16+) "Same with hurting you. Or marking you.." He slid his arm gently down to his back, closing his hand around a bruise that lay on the hero's waist. The hero flinched at the action, still keeping his lips sealed. "I can be the only one capable of doing it.." "Your fucking crazy..." The hero sighed with a bit of fear hidden in his tone. The man smiled with the description, turning his head in the direction of Oxzy's ear, he spoke with a sweet voice.

In a world where power is everything, Y/N L/N was never meant to stand alongside legends. No super strength, no alien blood-just a mind sharp enough to tear reality apart if he wanted to. But when his best friend, Mark Grayson, steps into the world of heroes, Y/N refuses to be left behind. With stolen blueprints, cutting-edge tech, and a little reckless ingenuity, he builds something the world has never seen-a combat suit strong enough to go toe-to-toe with gods. Armed with his own brand of firepower and Rachel Roth, a girl with abilities even she barely understands, Y/N steps into the fight as Ironclad, proving that heroes aren't just born. Some must be Forged In Iron
