OMG DABI HAD A CRUSH ON SHIGARAKI, AND CONFESSED. Shigaraki said no though so Spinaraki is still going strong even after their fight
I probably should have taken a picture of his confession dialog. He said something like “Your eyes sparkle more than the ocean”

This is more a scene that's been slowly rotating in my head than anything else. Might write more of it, might just leave it here for y'all, but here it is!
This might be long, so the rest of it's under the cut.
I'm obsessed with the idea that most of the cosmic entities have some kind of mundane origin. Prismo is the dream of an old man, perhaps a mortal wizard who got the Boss's attention and granted timeless immortality. The Cosmic Owl, perhaps was once the familiar to some primordial magic user. Perhaps many crawled out of the primordial soup in the time Before there was Nothing.
But Scarab?
Scarab was just that. A beetle. Perhaps a weird type of beetle able to speak on the level of a mortal human, but a beetle nonetheless. One that fought and reached and climbed far beyond what anyone thought possible. He got the Boss's attention. He was made functionally immortal, given a more imposing body, given responsibilities beyond what a bug is ever meant to achieve. God Auditor was not his first choice, but it's still higher than what was thought possible.
Prismo doesn't strike me as the type to care much about where someone may come from. But he is an exception among the pantheon.
Gods do not let Scarab forget what he was. What he still is, to many of them. A bug. The other gods find Scarab unsightly. They're visibly disgusted by his strange mouth and wide eyes and odd chirps.
So Scarab hides behind his mask. He hides his extra arms unless it's necessary. He turns his exoskeleton into a prim and proper suit. But it's never enough. Not enough to make the other gods forget what he is.
Orbo certainly doesn't. And he takes the chances to remind Scarab that he's lucky to be here. And that he's not meant to be here. It's why Orbo takes steps to cripple the Scarab, should the auditor ever be demoted back to mortal. He takes his antenna. And he takes his wings.
And then, Scarab is demoted. He's relegated to being the Wishmaster's assistant. Janitor is the more accurate title. And Scarab is back to feeling like a pinned insect, now trapped with another god who will most certainly not fail to remind him that he's lucky he's not back to crawling in mud. Because Prismo certainly knows, doesn't he?
Except, that's not what happens.
Prismo is kind. He's respectful, in his own strange way. When Scarab accidentally makes his odd chirps, the Wishmaster finds it cute. When he learns to crawl along the walls as a shadow, Prismo doesn't seem to mind.
And when Scarab lets the mask fall, Prismo finds him endearing, rather than unsightly.
So Scarab starts embracing himself again. He's in a space where he is not thought of as disgusting or undeserving. He's allowed to be strange in the ways his origin would suggest, even encouraged. He gets comfortable in his own shell again.
And then Orbo visits.
And Orbo questions why Scarab's hanging out on the ceiling. And why his mask is gone. And what's with all the gross noises he's making. And Scarab retreats again. He let himself be too comfortable. He should've known better.
But Prismo is horrified.
He calls Orbo out. That's not a cool thing to do to a friend. Why should Scarab have to hide all the time.
Orbo tries to "reason" with the Wishmaster. Why should Prismo care? He should be thanking him for getting the bug back in line.
"He's not cool, not like us, Prismo. You're the dream of a right powerful wizard. I'm the core of a collapsed magic star. Him? He's just... Well, just look at him. He's just a bug. Shouldn't have been able to get where he was in the first place. He's lucky we didn't send him back to crawling in the mud broken."
And that's when Prismo learns what happened to his friend. Why some days he can't seem to stand up straight. Or why some days he has to spend in the Time Core, curled up and out of sight.
And that's when Scarab learned what a Wishmaster's wrath looked like.

Like I said, no idea if I'll fully write it out. I might. But I at least wanted to dump this thought onto something, so enjoy babes.
Might end up getting a 4th dog. Recently my mom found a lost dog, and we are holding it until we can find an owner, but if there is none that reaches out we like will keep him. They theorize that he was neglected by his past owners because he is kind, but doesn’t know a lot of tricks, and doesn’t seem as used to affection. Which means I’ll probably have another big dog trying to sleep in my room whenever he can’t go to my parents room. Dexter rarely goes to my room probably due to him not being able to get up on my bed. He only lets my step dad pick him up so I can’t really help him get up there. I used to let Freya on my bed, but she keeps leaving wet stops, and peeing on my bed so I place down a blanket for her. Bobo constantly sleeps on my bed in the most annoying spot right where I put my legs even through the rest of the bed is empty since I only sleep on one side. Now this new dog will probably sleep on my bed too which is fine. I love Freya, but she can be annoying at times so I think this new dog will probably be less so since he seems quieter, and calmer. At least more so than Freya. He also is friendly with people so my friends can meet him if we do keep him. Hopefully Freya will get better with people so we don’t have to keep her in a crate while we have my friends over. I’ll make a post with pictures of all the dogs we have if we do keep him if not I’ll probably post an image of him separately
My versions of fem Scarab and Prismo, we got Stag and her weed smoking girlfriend Spectra :)
I love how this turned out! Both characters were surprisingly easy to draw. Normally I struggle with Bill, and this was my first time drawing Scarab.
The sketch, and another progress picture
Doodled in class as kids were talking about strategic ways to rob a bank with all the students in class. Honestly I tried drawing him bigger, but I suck at it, and couldn’t get his limbs to look right
