Headcanons In Arkham, BTAS, BTAA, and Zero Year Riddler and his partner in crime/significant other effectively adopting a set of mischievous twin girls?

Oh my goodness yes!buckle up kiddos it’s a long but a good one!

The riddlers and there s/o adopting two mischievous twin girls

Arkham

The idea of a family beyond you two had never really crossed Edwards mind before,of course he would need someone to pass off his genius to at some point but his main focus was his puzzles

But then after a few stolen items from his informant’s working in Bristol never show up again you two basically get forced to go down there

Edward was expecting the imbeciles to be stealing right under his nose but it got solved quickly when the two of you find a set of twin girls covered in bioluminescent green paint.

To say Maggie and sue weren’t the cutest things in the world would be a lie. Two little brown haired girls shy as anything stealing from the big bad riddler. Something about it got to him. He decided to take them in as his trainees

The 8 year olds quickly became quite attached to the both of you. They warmed up to you first seeing you as much more approachable. Edward was little harder though.

Maggie seemed to grasp a lot of Edward’s puzzles rather quickly,sue had a little more difficulty but Edward managed to help catch her up need be.

He didn’t hide what he did from them,no point. They already saw a lot of his work already.

“Remember you two,my work is something to marvel at! I’m not tolerating silly mistakes!”

What neither of you could have anticipated was was the twins outsmarting Eddie when he wasn’t looking. Small things like messing with riddlerbots and screwing with the voiceprint locks. Something not to hard for you and Eddie to fix

“Maggie! Sue! Did you mess with the electrical charge again?” “Nope nada” “got no idea what you’d be referring too”

Of course when the words “dad” and “daddy” got spoken to him he instantly internally panicked but when they left the room leaving you two alone he just sat there in silence for a moment. You smiling your head off

“Dear I do believe we’re parents. I mean they certainly have your mischievous side.” “……y-yes I do believe we are”

His relationship with the girls improved significantly,he would never admit it,but they were his greatest achievements

Btas

You two had encountered Allison and Marie while walking home from a diner date.

Two little raven haired girls no more older than 10 shivering in the cold of night was something even a rouge would find awful.

The poor girls got brought home to a warm house,good food and toys from Eddie’s time with wacko toys

Unlike his Arkhamverse counterpart btas Eddie is certainly a lot more approachable. The girls quickly start to feel comfortable around him.

The girls got kept in the dark from your more criminal activities for awhile.

It was a complete accident when you two come home all in costume and find the girls awake so early in the morning when you had gone out the night before

Of course this did also give you two the ability to be more open with them on some things. Like you and Eddie possibly having to ending up in Arkham for awhile.

There was also no way Edward or you was going to be able to sign a birth certificate with your criminal history. So it more became about spreading it throughout the rouges gallery. Selina and Jon on the list for people to take care of the girls first if something were to happen.

The girls however took the ample opportunity to try to be like their adoptive father.

“S/o dear have you seen the- what the-?”

A riddle just like their fathers except a lot more simpler.

Which then led to a elaborate goose chase that reminded him of his own crimes.

In his mind he firmly decided these two were keepers

BTAA

It was actually you who ran into the girls first in formost. A complete accident while trying to get stuff for Eddie while he worked on getting out of Arkham. They followed you home and wouldn’t stop tailing you.

You of course we’re hesitant to even bring two 9 year olds near a gang of criminals. Never mind two heavily impressionable orphans.

Two heavily impressionable orphans who just made about 10 people slip using Janus Cosmetics foundation

It’s actually Miss Tuesday that says “hey,I mean you don’t have to listen to me here but maybe Eddie might like them? He did seem very uninspired when I visited him”

She knew him as good as you did so her advice meant something here. Alex and Gwen would stay until Eddie said otherwise.

So when Edward breaks out and comes home to two blondes throwing his gang around like paper in the wind he’s intrigued.

“Mi amor……….I think I’ve got a new idea stirring from my genius!”

You unintentionally inspired him,great for you and the gang,awful for Gotham.

He essentially creates the worlds most dangerous slip and slide with input from the two. The dynamic duo is left to watch in pain as he makes off with his prize. A haul of jewels combined with stopping at the toy store for the kiddos to grab something as a thank you.

He becomes extremely fond of them over the next few months so much that he sees them as extensions of himself in a way. Smart and mischievous.

“No s/o we can’t get rid of them now! I mean i know we never talked about kids but now we have like,3 of them! And we didn’t have to do that much!”

Zero year riddler

Selfish arse doesn’t understand the concept of “raising as your own” at first.

He’s so used to not giving a crap about others when the two red heads stick by your side constantly and you’re not budging he genuinely gets a bit enthused

“Babe I get their cute little faces really warm your heart but let’s be honest they ain’t gonna help with crime all that much”

So color him surprised when two nine year olds get one of his riddles correct.

Helen and Meg were not stupid kids and kept escalating things. For every insult against them it meant one more solved riddle combined with a prank of some sort.

When he broke his nose after a tripwire incident he practically went red in the face

Embarrassed,again. This time by two half brained kids. Infront of his partner. Great.

Instead of yelling and screaming at the two girls a smile takes over.

“Okay you brats,help me fix my nose and MAYBE I’ll let you see what I’m working on”

What would develop would be a relationship built upon respect for each other for constant one upping. Truly an Olympian perspective.

He’d probably never admit to anyone that he had a soft spot for his unofficial daughters but deep down you knew they’d solidified a place in his heart.

The only Facebook group I feel safe in as an Izzy Hands stan is Our Flag Means Daddy.

Even though I am apart of the two main groups as well, i.e. Our Flag Means Deathposting, Our Flag Means Fans, I do NOT feel SAFE. I see the wildest and hottest fucking takes in these groups and they piss me off. Are you even watching the same show? I’m also sick and tired of people calling Izzy a villain when he clearly is not. Also there are many that don’t recognize he’s gay, even after season 2. If you voice you’re upset and betrayed? You get attacked. I was again last night.

I guess I’m a proud Izzy “apologist”, but it fucking baffles me how fans just give Ed a pass on all the brutal things he did. Oh but the love story—- NO. Recognize you’re an Ed apologist as well. I like both Ed and Izzy, but I recognize the horrifying things Ed did.

The day of the finale, I posted my thoughts on various social media. I got attacked. I got messages even on tumblr from anon cowards who I imagine followed through Twatter. I was called the t slur. That I was stupid, fat, all sorts of things.

It’s because I said I’ll never trust David Jenkins again. Now, do I have my own thoughts as to whether parts of the finale are a dream state/gravy basket that Stede himself is in? Absolutely. But let’s dive into why I was especially hurt.

First off. I am disabled. For those who know me, I’ve also had two leg surgeries and my injury has ruined my life. So seeing Izzy with a false leg, as a disabled character, still being badass? It felt good. It boosted my confidence for me to keep going. I had so much metal in my leg it caused pain that left me bedridden and using a wheelchair and cane. Many a time I wish they’d chopped my leg off.

I see a lot of myself in Izzy. I swear, he has the traits of an Aries with his anger and intense emotions. This man feels deeply for those who cares for, even though at first this seemed to just be Edward. Despite the hardened shell, he’s a romantic at heart. I’m very much the same.

That hardened shell is also a form of masking to me. In my opinion, and in my own headcanon for this roleplaying blog, Israel is neurodivergent and suffered sexual assault on ships when he was young. It’s part of the reason he has bowel issues. He had to force himself to put on that rough motherfucker mask in order to protect himself. I was bullied mercilessly in school. When I started middle school, I decided to align myself with the “bad kids” as a form of protection. Guess what? Part of myself was masking I was a bad ass, part of myself became the badass I was masking to be after years of torture.

Also. I am transmasculine. I’m pre-HRT. But to me, Izzy is very transmasc coded. This was even confirmed by Con himself when a transmasc fan at Supercon brought the conversation up. I’d just like to say again how much I adore him for supporting the trans community, particularly transmascs who often are glanced over.

Then David Jenkins, a straight man, that swore he wouldn’t fall into the kill your gays trope did exactly that. So let’s exclude here the thought that this is possibly a dream state, or even that he might be resurrected by Buttons as a zombie or ghost which I fucking hope not. We’re talking about my initial feelings. Now it felt like they were setting him up to be killed but I said oh no Jenkins wouldn’t do that to us. He promised he wouldn’t.

Guess what?! He fucking did. Not only that, he murdered off the disabled, gay, transmasc coded character after giving him the most beautiful character arc of any character on the show. You can have a gay pirate rom com, you can understand some characters can get hurt, but killing someone as a means to advance plot? Fuck you. Also, the fact that Izzy apologized to his ABUSER?! As if the victim blaming and shaming wasn’t enough for Izzy Hands, which I see plenty of still, that’s fucked up on so many levels.

So to me I watched a version of myself be murdered. It hit me in the hardest way imaginable. I cried for days. I’ve never been so attached to a character in my 38 years of existence. I’m sick and tired of people saying they like his redemption arc. Izzy never needed redemption. He just needed one, single, person to tell him that he was loved and cared about.

So voicing that I felt betrayed and that I no longer trust Jenkins got me nothing but vitriol. Then toward the end of the day, he made a tweet about how there’s no version of the show without Izzy and had the comments turned off. He knows what he did. And then in the FB groups, if you dared say you were upset that day, requoted Jenkins, you’re a horrible person? Right. I didn’t start attacking the writers. I just said I’m betrayed and I can’t trust what I thought was my comfort show. Because of that, I got hate.

As much as I’d like to believe Izzy will return, the interviews David has done post season 2 talking about his character give me little hope. It’s like he just stabbed every fan in the back. Id like to think the rushed finale is really a dream sequence or gravy basket deal. Id like to think that Izzy will come back thanks to Buttons. But now I just don’t trust David Jenkins.

And if you dare voice this opinion anywhere but Our Flag Means Daddy and Twatter, you get attacked. So here goes. Thanks for my TED talk.

Good dreams! If the alphabet requests are still relevant, then I also have them. In general, considering. the popularity of these characters, I am surprised by the small number of requests with them...

I mean Arkhamverse John and Eddy, of course

A, G, N? Maybe, P

Eh...emm...I've done about 20 of these smut headcanon requests by now (and as for normal everyday requests I've got 4 in drafts and more than 30 in my inbox) and umm..that's not a small number for me lmao, especially in such a short period of time, but I'm also a smaller writer but yeah no, no surprises here at all lol and also to get these done I'm just doing three letters for each character if it's more than one, sorry

Arkhamverse Scarecrow:

A: Aphrodisiac (What encourages or entices them to make a move?)

It honestly takes a lot to entice him. You're going to have to practically force his hand--you keep brushing up against him--you keep subtly and not to so subtly drop innuendos. And he finds it frustrating how he finds you amusing and that his body is actually...being receptive to your gestures.

G: Gentle (Describe gentle/loving mid-sex gestures)

Jonathan doesn't particularly care for being gentle...he's likely only doing this to take care of a primal urge that befalls people, but he does have his spurts of being gentle. He may kiss your head or cheek and maybe even praise you.

N: Never (Things they would never try)

I doubt Jonathan would be much into any sort of exhibitionism...what you two do is meant for you two only and only he's allowed to see you at your most vulnerable.

Arkhamverse Riddler:

A: Aphrodisiac (What encourages or entices them to make a move?)

Even though he can fully tell what you're doing and as much as he verbally tells you he's too smart to fall for it--Edward is a victim to his own ego, and the way you praise him. The way you compliment him, how you feel so lucky to be with the most intelligent man in Gotham. He falls eventually, no matter how much he denies it.

G: Gentle (Describe gentle/loving mid-sex gestures)

Edward isn't exactly the most gentle during sex...if he is it's likely due to inexperience, but as your relationship develops, he will try to be gentle. Like how he may make sure you're comfortable, he may even give some praise...just don't make a big deal about it.

N: Never (Things they would never try)

Ed would never want to try sharing you with someone else...you're his and his alone...if he ever did it would have to be someone he trusts or something he's trying to prove (and totally not worried that you'll find someone better and leave him...not that it would matter."

hc + 🚶‍♂️ for a habit-themed headcanon ( izuku ) hc + 🌍 for a travel-themed headcanon ( ed ) hc + 💔 for a headcanon about a sad experience ( salem ) hc + 🏆 for a goal-themed headcanon ( draco cassini )

IZUKU.

other than the notebooks, izuku has a habit of organizing everything in his room. he's one of those people that if there's a bit of mess, it's there for him to sort through. any subject of class he has has a separate notebook because of how tightly packed even one page can be. he's also gotten into the habit of carrying water around, because he can definitely be a trouble magnet and afterwards, he's always a little thirsty.

also, izuku downplays his own feelings. its a habit of simply either not acknowledging them or just acting like everything is fine when someone asks because he doesn't trust someone enough to take him serious without thinking they'll ridicule him. another good habit he has though, is always taking his friends feelings into account, to know their boundaries and the things they enjoy. having friends in ua, knowing he would put his life on the line for them makes him aware of their every day antics.

EDWARD.

if ed ever leaves to go travel, he never leaves without his pocket watch. and his hypervigilance makes it so he's always giving someone a second glance. he travels light though, mostly because a lot of the currency he's saved up is used to buying everything he needs. that and after traveling even before then, he's really good with a needle and thread. he carries dried meats and bread to keep him sustained.

this man can sleep anywhere, but they're powernaps more than anything. cold weather still makes him ill, especially given what his body has gone through and he just immediately bundles up and needs to be near a source of heat. if he's traveling with someone, he has a habit of striking up conversation, or offering to pay for things or just lets his curiosity take the reigns.

SALEM

once upon a time, salem had a co-dependant attachment to their sibling, elliot and separation anxiety definitely set in quickly. this happened after dr. cassini experimented on salem and when salem escaped, they lived with elliot for a period of 6 years before elliot forced them to part to do their own thing. it was rough, and they still talk every day but sometimes salem hates that they put such a burden on their sibling. being apart from a sibling, sucks so bad but especially the sibling they're close with. it's not as sad as it is traumatic, but salem tends to live life recklessly, but this one experience definitely changed the course they've taken moving forward.

DR. CASSINI

number one goal ? sating his curiosity, no matter the cost. part of their goals as a scientist is creating cures for things he views as viruses, whether it be things like stds, or even dissecting the woes of being a shifter. he wants to know about the genome and how it's affected by mental health, or under the influence of hard drugs. there's no ending of his small goals. because they're all working toward just how much knowledge he soaks up, while also putting others in harms way. because a lot of time, he doesn't view the people he hurts as people, but a part of his curiosity he needs to dissect down to the core until they give him the revelations that are much needed.

I LOVE THIS! 🤩🤩🤩

This is such an amazing idea! And how the 40 each had a design to contribute to the bus is also chef kiss 🤌

Of course it would be called the Chaos Bus! Wouldn’t expect anything less!

In fact, may I present to you…

THE 40 HEADCANONS!

ROAD TRIP EDITION!

Schedules for picking music is A RULE they all must follow. They weren’t even out of the driveway when Ciel and Killua were fighting over classic vs rock, resulting in, not in chronological order:

A broken bus window

A flat tire

The roof of the being set on fire for 3 seconds before being put out

And a broken radio which was caused by a cd being launched at it with great force and precision to wedge itself in the cd player.

But if a song comes on that everyone likes, and as long as it is a mostly empty road in a rural area, they will roll down the windows and sing at the top of their lungs.

Mafuyu is the first one to fall asleep on the trip, resulting in the more mischievous younger members putting sticky notes on him to see how much they put on before he wakes up. Yes, Gojo does join in because was the one to provide said sticky notes.

Speaking of sleep, Saiki gave Mob noise canceling so he slept throughout the trip without any disturbance.

Unfortunately, Mako and Iruma are not allowed to hold on to the snack basket for more then five seconds and CANNOT be left alone with them. They will mindlessly binge eat on them. Ryota was placed in charge of the snacks.

Kobayashi is, of course, the designated driver. But putting aside technically road laws and whatnot, here is the list they (read, everyone except GOJO) compiled for “designated driver”

Kobayashi: Has a license and has never been in an accident.

Fujinuma: Got a license and while he rarely drives, he is still a pretty good driver.

Yuuri: Also has a license. Much meeker in his approach to driving but gets the job done.

Heine and Levi: They are tied as they don’t have a proper license but they are fast learners.

Spike: He won’t do it. Unless you bribe him.

Saitama: Would be higher on the list if his short temper didn’t get the better of him, resulting in him road raging.

L: Cannot. Drive. Kobayashi learned that the hard way.

U-1146: Also cannot drive. Yuuri learned that the hard way too.

Gojo and Italy: Gojo will break speed limits, treat the road like he is drag racing, and has already, and on purpose, ran someone over (who deserved it). Italy, meanwhile, cannot drive to save his, or any other life. No matter what he says, he cannot drive UNLESS it’s an emergency.

Of course they play punch buggy! But it’s on the fence of being banned right now, though Korra and Zuko are tied for the record for finding more buggies. (Though it's obvious they are targeting each other when playing.)

They almost got banned from a restaurant, so now when they stop to eat, they break into smaller groups. It’s easier this way.

But Rin and Soma are the ones who always want to stop at the famous/local restaurants of the state and see if it lives up to the hype.

Langa is banned from picking music, on the account he taught the younger members how to sing, “The Song That Doesn't End”. Their record is 43 minutes.

Senku, with the help of Edward, would try out experiments during their trip. Their most notable one was when they managed to sneak storm chasing equipment onto the bus and months prior Senku predicted when there was going to be a storm during the trip so those two were determined to chase said storm. Long story short, the idea was shut down quickly and for the rest of trip, those two were not to be left alone.

They do bring games to keep themselves occupied. Monopoly is banned for obvious reasons and Zuko is banned from playing UNO.

They are banned from the state of North Dakota, following the “Mount Rushmore” incident.

Emma is the blanket hoarder. Unintentionally.

Izuku and Nagisa collabed together to create an itinerary for the whole group as they traveled, which includes rest stops.

During one rest stop, Naegi and Tanjiro were chased by a Canada goose and ran for a good 15 minutes before managing to get on the bus.

Kuroko sits in the back corner of the bus, Hinata keeps him company.

And speaking of which, they have forgotten Kuroko at three different rest stops (Hinata is always the first to notice) and one time Hinata stuck by with him so that Kuroko “wouldn't be alone”.

If Hanako sees a trucker, he will signal them to honk their horns. He is 30% successful most of the time.

Once there was a jerk driver who gave the bird to the 40 kids when driving pass them. Haruhi and Legoshi had to hold back Edward from jumping out the bus and chasing after the guy.

Tohru and Chika spend their time on the road making paper crafts and bracelets.

Serinuma is the picture taker. No matter where and when, she will have a photo of every moment.

Korra had to stop Haruka from jumping into Lake Superior.

IM FINALLY ABLE TO DO SOMETHING!! Hello everyone,I’m so sorry I was nearly radio silent for so long,I promise it’s still on works the universe travel lil comic and ice age arc but sadly being to a new class does being lots of stuff..nothing less,I had a thought! I wonder if the 40 have a collective “family car” when they want to just go somewhere in a simple style! Introducing the..as lovingly dubbed by Satoru Gojo “Chaos bus”

A normal car wouldn’t find them all so! XD a bus! Decorated by many of the members! I also got inspired by a scene from a comedy murder mystery movie XD @the-ravenclaw-werewolf @omnitheist27 @purplemochi20055

Also honestly…for the most part.DONT LET SATORU OR ITALY DRIVE PLEASE-

#main character syndrome (with exceptions)#the 40 #the_ravenclaw_werewolf #reblog #r3dp4nd4ch1ld #the 40 fanart #fanart #the 40 fancomic #fancomic #The 40: The Chaos Bus #hetalia #hetalia italy #road trips

Hello! I first followed you for Hannigram but your fic single handedly dragged me into Sebaciel hell ( pun intended ) and by reading your asks about Kuro religiously I've wanted to ask about your view on Ciel's darkness, particulalry pre-contract. Most fans, even anime only fans, tend to consider it a result of his traumatic experience, not necessarily something that existed before then - small or bigger measure. And if he and Sebastian hadn't met like they did, how do you think said darkness could have come out?

Haha, I'm so pleased to hear this! I believe Hannigram was exactly the reason that attracted my attention to Black Butler. In many ways, Ciel and Sebastian are Murder Husbands: I think someone recced them to me as a duo with a similar dark dynamic. I watched a few fan edits, something like this one, with Ciel's backstory & him and Sebastian building their empire, and this one, with their dynamic as a whole, and was intrigued enough to try it. And here I am years later, just as hopelessly in love.

While the anime seems to portray Ciel as strictly naive and light before the contract, I don't share this view, and it's a good thing that there is space for all possible headcanons. I'm not a fan of thinking the captivity and trauma gave him a total personality switch. I think there was always some darkness and cruelty in him; he was always manipulative and calculating, though obviously, in pretty childish ways. In fact, this topic is going to be brought up in the next chapter: Sebastian is going to learn that Ciel was never particularly innocent and did some very questionable things even before their contract. I thought it'd be fun to come up with a more specific and darkish reason for hostility Elisabeth's brother Edward shows to Ciel.

If Ciel and Sebastian never met, I think Ciel would still thrive in the underworld. His father would have to pass the reins to him at some point, and Ciel would become pretty ruthless and intimidating, although his taste for darkness would never be colored with the personal desire for vengeance. I imagine him being more carefree, happier, less restricted and rigid, maybe a little less smart because canon Ciel feels a strong need to keep up with Sebastian and pushes himself above and beyond his limits. Still, he'd be impressive, a force to be reckoned with. He'd enjoy getting rid of his enemies, scheming and playing games, expanding his reach and intimidating the entire underworld.

I think Sebastian would feel equally drawn to this version of him. There is something unique and special in Ciel that I think was always a part of him: he can be sadistic and he can delight in darkness, but he also has his sense of justice. Whenever they met, Ciel and Sebastian would be captivated and pulled into their deadly relationship one way or another.

✨Why I Think Bella Swan Is On The Autism Spectrum ✨

In this post I’m going to talk about why I personally believe that Bella Swan is autistic. As an autistic person myself, I really relate to Bella and I see a lot of autistic traits in her.

Disclaimer: This is just a headcanon- I don’t think Stephenie Meyer intentionally wrote Bella as autistic, and she or the movie producers never confirmed it, so I’m not saying to everyone that she is CONFIRMED to be autistic and that every one has to see her that way, I’m just saying that I personally think she is, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Autistic people hardly have any representation in the media, and with the representation that we do have, it is almost always stereotypical, inaccurate and offensive. You do not have to agree with me on this, but just please be respectful in the comments and don’t hate :)

Ok let’s go:

1. She always felt different from everyone/she felt like nobody truly understood her and that she never really understood anyone either: this is what basically all autistic people feel, myself included. Feeling like nobody understands the way your brain works and the way you see the world. (And this is true, because autistic people do see the world differently than non- autistic people and autistic peoples brains are wired differently from non- autistic brains). Bella mentions this multiple times in the books and movies, at one point in the first book in the car with Edward, she tells him that she thinks he can’t read her mind because they’re a probably a glitch in her brain and that it’s not like other people’s. There is also this quote from the 1st chapter of twilight which sums up how she feels: “ Facing my pallid reflection in the mirror, I was forced to admit that I was lying to myself. It wasn’t just physically that I’d never fit in. And if I couldn’t find a niche in a school with three thousand people, what were my chances here? I didn’t relate well to people my age. Maybe the truth was that I didn’t relate well to people, period. Even my mother, who I was closer to than anyone else on the planet, was never in harmony with me, never on exactly the same page. Sometimes I wondered if I was seeing the same things through my eyes that the rest of the world was seeing through theirs. Maybe there was a glitch in my brain”.

2. Her motor skills: She’s constantly tripping over her own feet, has bad balance, doesn’t realize that she’s walking into things, constantly dropping things ect, a common thing for autistic people is to have poor motor skills and find it hard to navigate their body.

Another disclaimer about autism: not ever autistic person is the exact same, every autistic person expresses their autism in a slightly different way, for example, some autistic people are overly sensitive to sound, and some are under-sensitive to it, these are just the specific things I’ve noticed for Bella in this post, it’s not supposed to be a generalization of autism in any way! :)

3. Social disinterest and difficultly: all throughout her childhood and her time in forks, she wasn’t very interested in making friends or hanging out or going to parties, and she found that she could never make friends with someone easily, she just never fully clicked with someone. She did have some very nice friends in forks, however she never related to them too well or was very attached to them.

4. Dresses for comfort and not fashion: Bella typically dresses in what feels most comfortable for her, not what is the most fashionable thing, this is a common thing with autism. A lot of autistic people like myself are quite sensitive to clothing and fabric and will not tolerate uncomfortable clothing.

5. Limited interests/special interests: Bella doesn’t really have many interests, but the ones she does have, she’s very passionate about. A special interest is an autism-specific term used to describe interests and hobbies that autistic people have that are very important to them. They help regulate emotions, calm people down, provide escapism ect. Autistic people can hyper fixate on these interests for hours and hours and not get bored, they can get so engrossed that they forget to do basic tasks to take care of themselves like drinking or going to the bathroom. These interests can last for years, sometimes a lifetime and they are very important to autistics. Bella swans special interests would be reading, wuthering heights, and vampires. Bella says in midnight sun that she has loved reading all her life and it is one of the few things that bring her intense joy. She said she could read for hours at a time and would try to sneak books into her lessons and read any chance she could get. Bella says that her favorite book is wuthering heights and she has read it so many times that it is beaten up beyond repair and the spine is so cracked that the book lays flat. This would clearly be her special interest. Her other special interest is clearly vampires.

6. Burnouts and meltdowns when Edward leaves: when Edward left in new moon, Bella obviously fell into a huge depression, but I also think she fell into an autistic burnout (if you don’t know what that is pls research or ask me cause this post is already too goddamn long). And in eclipse, when Edward leaves to go home in the afternoon or to go hunting, she can barely focus without him and gets very anxious (this is obviously because she loves him and is literally obsessed with him lol, but I also think it could be a meltdown from separation anxiety and also a change in routine (a lot of autistics get very upset when their usual routine is disrupted or changed))

7. Sensitive to sounds: In the book, often Bella cannot concentrate or fall asleep because of little sounds like the rain, sometimes it takes ages for her to sleep because the rain or tapping is too distracting. (This is a common autistic struggle).

8. Stims & facial twitches & stuttering: in the movie, she is constantly stuttering over her words, and her face and body twitches a lot. She also stims a lot in the book by playing with her hair or sleeves or the zip of her jacket, or her hands or edwards hands. She also covers some of her face with her hair, this could be to do with sensory overload, seeing too much in her field of vision may be overwhelming for her, like a lot of autistics.

9. Trouble expressing feelings/ thoughts: bella struggles a lot sometimes with communication and telling people how she feels. You can see this in her relationship with Charlie. They both love eachother very much but they never say it and when they do it comes out very awkward and sometimes they use the wrong words. You can also see this when she is hesitant to tell Edward in eclipse when she doesn’t want him to leave for the fight, it takes her ages to work up to telling someone how she feels. She also tends to be quite private. This is common for some autistics to feel.

10. Sensory experiences: bella loves the sun and heat, she says that she loves feeling the sun seep into her skin- a lot of autistics feel the sensory world very strongly and love certain sensations and detest others. When Bella moves to forks, she hates the sudden change in weather and gets anxious and upset at the feel of the cold, and the rain against her skin. This links back to my other point where I was talking about how autistics fear sudden changes in routine. Bella is very relieved when there’s a sunny day in forks and goes and sits outside, savouring the weather which reminds her of home.

11. Not too concerned with how she looks: obviously not every autistic person is like this, but quite a few autistics don’t really focus on how they look/present and what they wear. They don’t really know about the social norms and what other people wear so they do what they want. This is something I often see in Bella in the books especially.

12. More quiet/ reserved and socially withdrawn and awkward: this is basically self explanatory. Bella is very well known for this. I touch a bit more on this in point 3.

If you made it this far then thank you so much! This took a long ass time to write and I’ve been thinking of making this post for months. There are more things that make me headcanon her as autistic, but these are just from the top of my head. When I re-read the series (for like the 100th time lol) later this year, I’ll annotate the book so that I can update this post in the future with more supporting this).

Again this is just my opinion and my personal headcanon, it is not factual (but I’d obviously want it to be canon) so please no hate :)

If you have any more things to add on then please do!! I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Hello Kristaline!

I'm...kind of new here and firstly I wanted to say that I really enjoy reading your writtings!

Also...I don't know if you will feel comfortable with this kind of stuff, 'cause if you do - it's more than understandable! I...I usually read your one-shots or something to read since...I'm having not really good week..

May I ask for headcanon with Platonic Quite! Female! Teen! Reader x Whitebeard, Shanks? (Separately)

By that I mean, Y/n is generally quite person and has a lot feelings that she bottles up inside such as sadness, fear and etc. She does not express herself a lot and have a hobby drawing arts. I just wonder how would they treat her..

Anyway, You're really talented writer and I deeply hope you will continue make more One Piece content.

Have a great day!

Eyo Anon I know this is kinda late but be strong and confident 😎 don't let them bring you down 🤘

Also thanks for reading my writings, I appreciate it sooooo much <3. Without further ado here's your beloved request tho I'm not sure if it was u expected hehe.

*****

Whitebeard, Shanks x Quiet! Teen! Fem! Reader

Whitebeard (Edward Newgate)

• Good luck even trying to bottle your feelings up because Whitebeard would notice it no matter what.

• His parental instinct is tingling ✨

• Even when you don't express yourself openly, he can see right through your facial expressions or actions.

• At some point of the day where you feel down and started isolating yourself from others and keeping yourself busy by drawing arts alone. He'll have one of his sons to keep an eye on you every 5 minutes while respecting your own privacy.

• A possibility of breakdown after bottling your feelings up was never zero, so just in case you need someone there for you, they'll be by your side in matter of seconds.

• Guaranteed you will never treated less. More like you will be extra cared, he himself and his sons will distract your mind out of negative thoughts. Especially the goofy duo (Ace and Thatch)

• Whitebeard can also be your personal adviser. (Trust me, he give pretty good advices)

Akagami no Shanks

• With this person around, his antics alone won't let you think negatively.

• Despite his carefree or easy going personality, he's pretty observant around his surroundings.

• If he ever saw you isolated from others, drawing alone at the corner of the room with a sad expression, expect him to be by your side with his complement ready.

• Don't get me wrong, he highly respect your own privacy and he would back off with your word. But, if it appears that it was getting too far with you bottling your feelings up and one step away from breaking down, expect him to but in.

• He won't force you to express yourself openly, with a small help here and there, he'll wait for you to break out of your own bubble at your own pace.

• Like whitebeard, He and his crew won't treat you differently like you're a complete outsider. Because they won't even give you a chance to think negatively.

Part 1 Here! / Part 2 Here! / Part 3 Here! / Part 4 Here! / Part 5 Here! / Part 6 Here! / Part 7 Here! / Part 8 Here! / Part 9 Here! / Part 10 Here! / Part 11 Here! / Part 12 Here!

A/N: Shout out to @ideas-for-you-to-adopt for inspiring/writing a lot of the headcanons used for the “Bella Suspicion” part of this chapter!

I’m posting this a day early, because, well I’m flakey like that

* You spear another piece of pineapple, your teeth grinding together

* “I think that sounds perfect!” Lauren squeals lightly grasping Bella’s shoulder, Bella gives a small smile in return.

* You know what isn’t perfect?

* The fact that nothing is going according to plan.

* It’s already a month in and NOTHING has happened. You stab another piece of pineapple, sticking it into your mouth

* You’ve hung back in the school parking lot everyday for a MONTH, you were even late to cheer practice once, just to see if the “Tyler Van Accident” happened.

* Only it never did, and you didn’t know why until Lauren confided that she and Tyler had been hooking up lately.

* As in hooking up at her house after school before her parents came home.

* Of course it’s not going to happen when Tyler’s ditching his last period to drive to her house

* What a mess

* You chew the pineapple carefully, just like a human would. Because even though Bella knows LITERALLY NOTHING. She somehow suspects everything.

* You watch her from the corner of your eye, making polite conversation with Angela about biology next period.

* The amount of questions she has about you is ridiculous

* How did you meet Edward? How does your family know the Cullen’s? Where are you adoptive parents now? If they’re back in the states why haven’t you gone to live with them?

* It’s literally never ending. And that’s just her trying to poke holes in your story.

* You’re not even going to start with all the stuff she’s commented on your physical appearance

* “Hey don’t you think it’s weird they all have gold eyes?” You had heard Bella quietly ask Jessica when she thought you couldn’t hear

* “Not really, they’ve got like six kids, so when one kid needs something more of them do too. (Y/N) told me Alice wanted color contacts so Dr. Cullen just bought some for all of them.”

* And then the week before that, while you were doing a stunt at a basketball game Bella said:

* “Aren’t they like, too strong?” You were lifting up a girl all on your own.

* “Oh yeah- I guess you never saw the video, apparently they’re jacked.” Conner says, with a shrug.

* “Yeah they heard working out helps with stress when they were like 12 and just never stopped.” Mike adds absentmindedly

* And if that wasn’t enough she’s even said this a few weeks before that:

* “Don’t you think it’s weird how beautiful they all are?” Lauren wrinkles her nose, at the time she had gotten used to Bella but she still doesn’t seem to like her very much

* “Not really, I remember (Y/N) wasn’t all that pretty freshman year, they used to wear these really dorky glasses.”

* You had almost started to forget how good you had it, after you did all the leg work in the last two years to establish that you were normal -just kinda quirky- you had just started to enjoy the pay off. A little more lax with your appearance, wearing clothes you liked, doing more solo routines in cheer.

* Only for little Miss.Curious to show up

* Now you have to try extra hard to look human again. And not just you, the entire coven does, because when one of you falls under suspicion you all do.

* Rosalie’s been making her hair look messy every so often to give the illusion that she’s having a bad hair day, Alice wears a retainer every so often, even Emmett pretends to need the bathroom more than he usually does.

* This morning you even had Rosalie do a fake pimple on your jaw.

* If Bella wasn’t going to be your best friends’ future wife, you think you might just hate her.

* You kind of sympathize with Rosalie in the book now.

* “Hey (Y/N) are you in?” Conner asks nudging his elbow against yours.

* “In for what?” You mumble, spearing another piece of pineapple. Another downside is now you have to eat at lunch. Otherwise Bella starts asking why you never eat and everyone gets really concerned and starts force feeding you

* God, all those years of establish you have low blood sugar and acid reflux induced nausea for nothing

* “La Push beach, we’re all going this weekend.” You perk up at the mention

* Finally, something’s getting back on track

* “Can’t, cheer stuff.” You mumble, shoving your food around your plate with your fork.

* You don’t miss Bella’s meaningful glance on your mostly full plate.

* Oh great, you can practically see the question “don’t you think it’s weird how they never eat anything?” Forming in the inner corners of her mind

* “What about you Edward?” Lauren flutters her eyelashes and you have to stop yourself from rolling your eyes.

* Lauren’s still annoyed that even though they’re hooking up, Tyler hasn’t made anything official yet

* Alice told her flirting with another guy might help.

* “He’s not going either.” You say before Edward can even open his mouth. He doesn’t say anything just gives you a questioning look and a smile.

* Looks like he’s finding everyone else’s thoughts more interesting

* “Are you guys going on a date?” Jessica waggles her eyebrows and on the other side of the table Bella sputters.

* You roll your eyes

* “No Jessica, but if I can’t go have fun neither can he.” Technically you both are forbidden to go on tribal land but whatever. “Best friend code.”

* Also you’re pretty sure Edward and Emmett are going to Yellowstone to eat bears or something, like a couple of heathens

* The thought of eating straight out of bear, no idea what they’ve eaten or where they’ve been doing their business, makes you shudder.

* You did mention to them both that if they happen to find an orphaned bear cub somewhere to bring it back. You’ve been wanting to experiment with bear blood.

* “Best friend code.” Edward repeats slowly, and the look he gives you makes your stomach flutter. And it’s not because you just ate half a salad.

* You’re knocked out of the look when Conner bumps his knee against yours

* “Well that’s a shame, I was looking forward to seeing you in a swimsuit.”

* So Conner’s been flirting a lot with you lately. Kind of weird, your best guess is that he was hoping to date Lauren, but now that she’s kinda seeing Tyler, you’re starting to look good.

* “Maybe you should have a pool party at that fancy house of yours then.” The group laughs but Conner just smirks

* “Whatever you want babe but-“ the bell cuts him off and you give him a consolatory pat on the arm.

* You move to throw away the leftover food on your plate, walking with Edward

* “We’re ditching right?” You ask him as you toss the plate into the trash.

* “Yeah Mr. Barnes is doing his blood type experiment today.” Like he even needs an excuse to skip school. “Do you want to go to the bookstore or something?”

* You shake your head, that won’t do, when Bella faints Edward needs to be there so they can fall in love

* “Wanna just hang out in my car? We can listen to that new Debussy CD I got.”

* Edward gives you a small smile, like he’s not really happy

* “Whatever you want.”

* Wait what’s up with that.

* “Hey, (Y/N)!” Bella calls out for you and Edward grimaces.

* “I’ll meet you at your car” wait he’s not going to stay here? If this was a dating video game he’d be the kind of player that wasted all the capture flags and then complains when they end up all alone.

* He leaves just as Bella gets to you. She spares a fleeting glance in Edward’s direction, almost looking sad as she watches him walk away before she looks to you

* “Are you heading over to biology?” She really is cute, like a puppy. She must have been hoping to get a little closer to Edward.

* You almost feel bad for not warning her what with her issues on blood.

* “Nah I’ve got to finish my trig homework so I’m going to skip.” You fake a yawn.

* Oh, before you forget

* “I actually got you something.”

* You hand her a carefully wrapped gift bag, compliments of Rosalie of course

* “Vitamins?” Bella asks, her eyebrows threading together

* “Yeah, it’s like a vitamin powder, you just add it to water. We bought a big family pack so I thought I would share some with you.”

* Also because you’re 100% sure she’s anemic.

* Part of the reason you like the way she smells so much is because of her anemia, if it’s just the peach scent you can probably contain yourself.

* You wave goodbye and Bella looks down at the package in her hands with a goofy expression. She hugs it to her chest before her expression pinches.

* “I should have offered to let them copy my notes” Bella murmurs to herself. Smacking her forehead and walking to biology.

* When you manage to sneak out to the parking lot through the gym doors, you see Edward leaning against your car, looking bored as he looks to the tree line

* “Why didn’t you sit inside? You look like a douchebag.”

* “I would have if someone had given me the keys”

* Like that’s stopped him before

* You unlock the car, letting it start with a hum before you pull out your trig homework

* You weren’t entirely lying to Bella, you really hadn’t finished you homework

* Edward pulls out a book from his bag, you’re not ashamed to say you’ve gotten him super into “The City of Ember” series

* “Hey why did you walk away when Bella came over?” you’re only half curious, mostly just trying to make conversation. “You don’t hate her do you?” You add with a laugh.

* The mere thought of Edward Cullen hating Bella Swan is laughable.

* “Yeah I do.”

* You find yourself coughing from the sheer shock.

* “You mean she frustrates you because you can’t read her mind.” Edward has spared you a concerned glance when you started coughing, but has turned his attention back to his book

*” No I mean I don’t like her, and I don’t like being around her.” He doesn’t look up from his book as he says it.

* “But why?” Yeah she’s a little plain, and she’s still pretty shy even though you’ve been hanging out for a month and all those damn questions

* But she’s got good taste in books, and she’s pretty straightforward.

* She’s not the type of person to go behind your back, if you did something to upset her she’ll tell you straight to your face.

* Honestly she’s a lot like Angela, minus the hidden cunning nature.

* Edward eyes narrow and a heavy sigh escapes him. His head tilts back to rest against the passenger seat headrest.

* His neck is so long and white. The color of freshly fallen snow. You can’t help but think of how pretty it would look covered in hickeys.

* Like poppy’s blossoming in the snow.

* Can vampires get hickeys? Would it just be like black instead of red since none of you really have blood anymore.

* “I just don’t like-” He cuts himself off when his eyes meet yours, they seem to shine brighter for a moment, and you tilt your head. This feels like a meaningful look.

* Edward sighs and looks away.

* “I just don’t like her vibe.”

*”Vibe? Are you an Edward shaped imposter?” you see him mouth ‘Edward Shaped Imposter’ as you both laugh.

* “Where did you learn to say these things?” He asks between laughs. You mock gasp.

* “The real Edward would never ask me that because he’s too afraid to know! Who are you really? What planet are you from?” Your hands move to his face, his face is as smooth as marble, lingering warmth. You leaned in without thinking about it, only a few inches away from him.

* You’re so close you can smell him. He always smells good, like something ancient and profound. Rosemary and argon oil.

* Your hands are still on his face and he’s grinning.

* You gulp

* You’re trying to think of another ridiculous imposter joke you can make wen you catch a familiar head of blond hair through the window.

* “Is that Mike and ... Bella?”

* This is a lot sooner than you thought, it hasn’t even been ten minutes yet.

* Edward looks almost bored as he follows your gaze.

* “Yeah, looks like she made herself sick, she’s - what’s that word for when people are afraid of blood?”

* “Hemophobia?”

* “Yeah, that’s what she has.”

* You wait for a second, releasing his face from your hands, but instead of moving to open the door he slumps back into his seat, eyes focused on his book.

* “Don’t you think we should go help them?” He shrugs.

* The f*cking criminal just shrugs.

* WHAT THE F*CK IS GOING ON?!?!

* Human or not, there’s no world Edward wouldn’t at least think about helping someone who’s in trouble.

* You’re starting to think this really is an Edward imposter.

* You watch Bella lean on Mike, stumbling down the crosswalk to the nurse’s office in the next building.

* You can’t watch anymore

* ‘You know you-” You words finally get Edward’s attention as he looks up from his book. “You are wasting all the capture flags!” You shout before sliding out of your car and jogging over to Mike and Bella

* “Mike! What happened?” He’s so surprised to see you his grip on Bella goes slack and she falls out of his side hold.

* “Oh crap!”

* You rush to catch her, swinging her into a princess hold.

* What was Mike struggling with so much? She’s not very hea - oh right you’re a vampire.

* “Are you alright, I know she’s kinda heavy.” Well that’s not very nice to say about a girl, besides she’s pretty skinny. Can’t be more than 120 pounds.

* “It’s no problem, I do it for cheer are all the time.” You do a fake grunt as you pretend to get a better hold on her.

* The movement jostle her awake, her eyes fluttering open. She’s still in a dreamy state, her eyes are unfocused.

* “(Y/N)?”

* “Hey buddy, looks like ya fainted, squeamish around blood huh?”

* “How do you know we were doing the blood type experiment?” Mike asks.

* Oh crap. You were skipping, you weren’t supposed to know that. Even worse you brain can’t seem to come up with a valid excuse.

* “Alice told us about it, (Y/N) used to be squeamish around blood when we were kids, didn’t want to take any chances” You let out a sigh of relief when you see Edward walking towards you. At least he’s not completely heartless.

*”Then why were you skipping?” Mike asks scratching his head. Edward shrugs

* “They can’t go to class, then I won’t go either.” And then the criminal looks you straight in the eye and says with the cheekiest smile imaginable:

*“It’s the best friend code”

* Oh f*ck off Edward.

* You almost want to scoff when he takes Bella from your arms and into his.

* SO now he wants to care about the capture flag.

* You let him take her though, You swear you see her stiffen and frown when he holds her.

* That can’t be right, she seemed super relaxed when you were carrying her.

* “I-I’m fine I can walk.”

* “No you can’t.” Edward bluntly says.

* Even when he gets to capture event, he says all the wrong things. You sigh as you walk behind him. Only to notice another set of footsteps by you.

* “You can go back if you want Mike, Edward won’t kidnap her or anything.” He might throw her into the lake though.

* Mike shakes his head. “No it just seems wrong to not make sure she at least gets to the nurses office.”

*You smile, he really is a kind boy.

* “Also I’ll be damned if Bella gives Edward all the credit.” Well mostly kind.

* You get to the nurses office, who seems incredibly flustered with both you and Edward in such a small space.

* She seems so preoccupied keeping her wits about her as she checks out Bella and deals with your presence that she never asks why three people had to escort one person to the nurses office.

* “Well your blood pressure is a little low, since you fainted I would suggest you go home. If you want you can take a nap in here until school’s out.” Wow, where was a nurse this generous when you were in school.

* Bella, the beautiful moron, shakes her head.

* “No it’s okay I’ll go back to class, I don’t want to take a zero for the assignment” Well that’s noble and responsible and all. But what does she think is going to happen when she goes back to class?

* She’s going to see some blood again and faint. Not that you can be mad, you would probably have to go the the nurse too if Bella ever managed to prick her own finger

* “Bella you really shouldn’t,” You settle your hand on her shoulder pushing her back onto the chair. “You just fainted you should lie down, or go home or something.”

* Her eyebrows thread together, mouth pulled in protest.

* “I don’t want to impose on any-”

* “It’s not an imposition, I want to!” Her mouth parts, then closes, stretching into a fine line. You look to Edward who’s avoiding your gaze and seems very irritated.

* Enemies to lovers trope it is.(Though you’re not sure if this counts as enemies if only one person dislikes the other)

* “I’m going to drop you off home, come on.” You pull Bella up by her hand, leading her to the parking lot.

* “Wait what about my car?”

* Oh you hadn’t thought about that.

*Hmmm in the original book Alice drove her home. But Alice doesn’t really do anything unless there’s something in it for her, or if she wants to.

* Also you’re pretty sure when she ditched today when she found out that people were pricking there finger on campus. She claimed it was for Jasper, but you’re pretty sure there’s a sale in the Nordstrom in Seattle.

* Edward would rather get the flu than drive Bella’s ancient truck.

* Which leaves only one option.

* You toss your keys to Edward who catches them with one hand.

* “Edward will drive you home in my car, and I’ll drive your car behind him.”

* “What about Rosalie?” He grumbles.

*“What about Rosalie?” Why is he being so difficult right now? Doesn’t he realize you’re doing this all for him!

* “You’re driving her home since Emmett and I are leaving for Yellow Stone as soon as school lets out.” Oh right the bears. Cr*p.

* “It’s not a big deal, I’ll drive back to school after we’re done and you can go your way and I’ll go mine.”

* You can tell Edward doesn’t like it, but he just sigh’s climbing into your car and then promptly getting out of the passenger side and sitting in the driver’s side.

* The dork forgot he had to drive the car.

* You’re dying laughing as Bella leads you to her car.

* “It’s the blue one.”

* Her truck isn’t all that bad. It’s old, but in a kind of retro way. It’s powder blue, with only two doors and no backseat.

* You climb in, turning the engine and hearing it purr. Well it’s more of a roar, but it’s not terrible.

* You’re surprised when Bella climbs through the passenger side door.

* “Um, you’re not going to drive with Edward?” She looks at you like you just asked her to recite the Fibonacci sequence.

* “Why would I go with him when you’re the one driving my car?” Okay, that’s fair.

* You sigh, why does nothing ever go according to plan.

* Maybe it’s for the best, Edward doesn’t seem to be in the best mood. Not that this is good either, she’s sitting so close to you, her peachy scent fills the small space of the truck and you feel lightheaded.

* It’s less than a ten minute trip, no need to get dramatic. You’re pretty sure you won’t kill her just because she smells nice.

* “Soooooo... what do you want to talk about?” You ask as you turn out of the school, this car is super slow compared to yours, you’re pretty sure it won’t go over 50 mph.

* Bella fidgets beside you, playing with the ends of her hair.

* “So are you and Edward...dating?”

* You laugh so loud you actually start coughing. And then you laugh again.

* “No-pfff- no We’re uh- we’re not dating.” You finally manage.

* “Why is that so funny to you?” She asks, genuinely confused.

* “Well it’s just outrageous you know?” How would that even work? You can’t even picture it. Edward getting all hot and bothered because you’re wearing an oversized sweater and glasses. You flirting with him all over the house in front of Carlisle and Esme. Edward signing up for a sport just so he can see you in his letterman.

* It’s all...impossible.

* And yet, there is one thing you can picture.

* Edward by your side, he’s almost golden brown, his eyes bright green. He points to the living room, and in there are Alec and Jane, both of their eyes blue as they argue over who’s turn it is to watch TV.

* Maybe if you were human, if you had met in a different world or a different time, that would be something you could have.

* But it is what it is

* “Edward and I have been friends for a really long time, we’ve just seen too much of each other to find each other attractive like that.”

* Bella looks like she doesn’t believe you but she doesn’t say anything.

* Wait what are you doing? This is the perfect chance to talk Edward up!

* “But you know Edward is a real stand up guy!” It leaves a little too forcefully, a little inauthentic.

* “Oh is he?” She doesn’t sound too excited to be talking about this.

* “I know he’s got one of those face-”

* “Obnoxiously handsome?” She spats

* “Like he thinks existence is a curse, and the world is evil and everything is terrible -” Wait you’re getting off track. “B-but he really is a good guy!”

* You bite your lip, as Bella tells you to turn into a subdivision.

* “You know after- after I was adopted,” After your parents died. “I was really lonely, I had a family that loved me and anything I asked for but I didn’t really have anyone to talk to” Oh god, why did you choose this story to pick? “Edward was probably the only friend my age I had for years.”

* She straightens up a little bit, a curious glint in her eyes.

* “Really?” You nod.

* “Yeah he would come by every Monday and Wednesday,” You still remember the crunch of the snow under your feet as you both walked to the barn. He always asked why you didn’t just run, and you always told him because you liked the way you could see your breath hang in the air,

* “He could have been out that time, hanging out with other people,” More well adjusted vampires, who hunted instead of harvesting small amounts from animals they raised. “or chasing girls and playing sports, but he stayed with me.”

* “He always made me feel safe, and I’m sure whoever is lucky enough to end up with him will feel that way too.”

* “I think you’re giving him too much credit” Bella finally says, you smile at her

* “what do you mean?”

* “Well, who wouldn’t drop everything to hang out with you?” You can’t tell if she’s being genuine or if she’s bitter. Your eyes meet hers and there’s a twinkle in them. ”My house is the one on the left, the one with the magnolia tree.”

* You come to a stop in front of the house she mentioned, shifting it into park, and handing her the keys.

* You don’t say anything as you climb out of her car. You see Edward stopped a few dozen feet behind her truck, your jeep still on.

* “Thanks for driving me home” She smiles at you, a real smile that reaches her eyes. It’s nice.

* “No problem, it gave me an excuse to ditch school too haha.” You both stand in awkward silence. Neither of you moving.

* Well damn what are you supposed to do now?

* “Oh, hey do you want me to bring you your homework or anything?”

* She perks up at that, reaching into her pocket

* “If you don’t mind, could you text me what page he homework is on for trig today?”

* “ Oh for sure! No problem at all” You take her cell phone in your hand. It’s a white sidekick, with a picture of a cactus on the back. She must have gotten it when she moved.

* You can’t help but wonder if she has any friends she misses. She spent her entire life in one community, sure Phoenix is a pretty big place, but she must have had friends, people she sat with at lunch everyday, girls she had known since childhood, sleepovers where they whispered about boys they had crushes on.

* As you hand her phone back, your contact information saved in it, you can’t help but wonder who this person in front of you is. You know her, but at the same time, you know absolutely nothing about her.

* “See you Monday!” You wave goodbye as you get into the passenger side of your car, and Bella waits on the porch until you and Edward leave.

* Edward’s got that look on his face.

* “Edward why are you mad?”

* “I’m not mad.” He grumbles and you raise an eyebrow. He sighs.

* “You’re going out of your way an awful lot for that human.” He says as he turns back onto the highway.

* “It’s just the right thing to do Eddie.”

* He shakes his head, his mouth pinched into a frown

* “Just be careful, I don’t know what that one’s thinking, she could be planning to burn our entire coven for all I know.”

* You roll your eyes, yeah you bet Bella who weights exactly 115 pounds, and has anemia is single handedly planning to bring down the entire vampire race.

* “How about we make a deal, I’ll promise not to rock the boat while you and Emmett are gone-”

* “Why do I feel like I’m going to regret not covering my ears?”

*” If you promise to bring me back a bear cub - an orphaned one.” He gives you a look you don’t quite care for.

* “You want me to kill a mother bear so you can have a bear cub?”

* “No of course not! I’m just saying- Emmett doesn’t really look before he kills so if he kills a mother bear, just make sure you bring me the cubs.”

* “Why do you even want a bear? How are you planning to take care of it with all those deer around, they need a lot-”

* “Yes Dad I know it’s a big responsibility, don’t worry I won’t make you take it on walks or anything.”

* Edward gulps hard, one hand detaching from the steering wheel to cover his mouth.

* Wouldn’t it be positively sinful for you to be underneath him, whining ‘daddy, please’ in that breathy voice of yours and-

* Edward.exe is broken.

* “Dude you really need to get your shit together before you go on your trip, we’ve been parked for fifteen minutes and your foot is still on the brake.” You say as you get out of the car

* He hits his head against the steering wheel.

* “Yeah, I really do need to get my shit together.”

About the Jasper problematic. People like making black Emmett headcanons because of how he's physically described (which already is a bit problematic), so I don't see why not killing the crusty Jasper like we did Rename and creating a latino or black Jasper instead. US ppl certainly know enough history to easily come up with good black/latino representation to not only erase this ugly bit of twilight, but try to welcome diversity here. We have very rich culture, it's not that difficult and honestly??? Way more interesting to see a poc vampire experience instead of the same old white pov.

I agree though I think for a lot of people Jasper’s sort of beyond rewriting and so I’m kinda in favour of scrapping the character or replacing him with someone else entirely be it another guy, Jessamine etc and if they were black or Latinx that would absolutely bring some much-needed diversity to the family/story!!! Hear me out though...having Alice and María instead of Alice and Jasper actually could’ve worked and brought a much more interesting background (both culturally and plot-wise) into the Cullens? If the purpose of Jasper’s character is to bring a darker, more “vampire”y edge to the Cullens, María ticks that box:

The whole reason María started her vampire army was to avenge the loss of her mate and coven. She thereby has an ability to love and care deeply in a found-family environment, which would make her highly capable of adapting to life with the Cullens – more so than Jasper.

We know Nettie and Lucy plotted to rebel against her when they began gaining their own territories, so if there was no Jasper this would’ve been a two-against-one scenario. This could have prompted her to abandon her vampire army life and flee to North America.

The territorial wars and betrayal of her friends would also give her the distrusting, “kill before you’re killed” thing Jasper has going on.

With no more vampire army and no familial coven, and as a Mexican woman in Late 19th/Early 20th Century North America, she’d have been very lonely and therefore probably quite depressed like Jasper had been. To meet Alice and have her show her nothing but kindness and genuine interest would’ve been a welcome change for María, and though it might’ve taken time, Alice’s confidence in their future could’ve eventually earned her trust.

She could very easily have been the coldly pragmatic one to suggest Bella should die (like Jasper does in Midnight Sun) so as not to put their family at risk. María was happy with her coven in Mexico before the territorial wars killed them. This would make her extremely cautious and protective over her second chance at a family life, so she’d never want anything to jeopardise it or force her to relive such a loss.

Like Jasper, she feasted on humans for a very long time, so she also could have been the member of the family who has a more threatening aura because of her recently-converted diet.

How much more compelling would Eclipse have been if we had María reckoning with her past as a vampire army creator and revelling in her darker side – but for a better cause in showing the Cullens and the pack how to fight newborns??? It would’ve been so much more interesting to have someone on the Cullen’s side mirror Victoria and her motives, instead of someone on the Cullen’s side mirroring Victoria’s love interest and his motives.

Remember how in Midnight Sun Edward brags about how his Spanish is far superior to his teacher’s fhfhfhgjhkjo if María was a Cullen that pendejo would finally be put in his place

María also might’ve been happy to finally find someone shorter than her 5’1 ass

Thomas Headcanons: Hiro

Hiro was built around 1937, and was unique among the thousand-odd D51s for having been constructed to standard gauge - most of Japan’s railways were built to a gauge of 3′6″. This was because many of the country’s locomotive manufacturers had licenses to construct Japanese-designed engines for export to other countries - mainly those using the same track gauge.

However, one such manufacturer - nobody is quite sure which one - wanted to expand their business to countries that employed standard gauge, and so Hiro was built as a proof of concept to test the feasibility of adapting the design to the wider gauge. Other than this, and a few other detail differences, Hiro’s design is largely the same as a conventional D51.

At the time, there were only a few small pockets of standard gauge lines across the whole of Japan, and had Hiro been intended to work on such lines, he would have been of limited usefulness. That being said, he did spent a few months flitting between these various lines for test purposes. Unfortunately, this did not result in any sales, as none of the lines that tried Hiro out had the capacity to employ such a large engine on a long-term basis.

Hiro would end up seeing more use much closer to home, as his main role was to prove the merits of his design to potential investors and buyers. Sadly, this still didn’t result in any sales or export orders, and the manufacturers began to question the wisdom of their own ambitions...

Fortunately, in early-1939, someone did finally take interest in Hiro. Namely, some representatives from a British locomotive builder - again, we’re uncertain as to exactly which company they represented. Anyway, they were suitably impressed when Hiro was demonstrated to them, and an agreement was reached whereby they would be granted the license to construct a modified version of the design in Britain. As part of the deal, Hiro himself was to be shipped to Britain, in order to serve as a test bed for these new modifications.

The arrangements took time, and were put on hold following the outbreak of the Second World War. It was not until August 1940 that any serious thought was given to trying to ship Hiro out, and it wasn’t until that September that he actually left Japan on a ship heading to Britain. It was most unfortunate, therefore, that during the voyage, Japan should end up joining the Axis Powers, effectively putting them on Britain’s most-wanted list.

Obviously this blew all the plans for Hiro out of the water, and to make matters worse, he didn’t realize anything was amiss until his ship docked at Southampton, barely a day after the alliance had made the news in Britain. As a result, all the ship’s crew and cargo were taken into custody, and Hiro himself was kept in storage while the government figured out what to do with him.

Around this same time, the British government had been setting up internment camps to hold enemy aliens - that is, people living in the country who were from any of the Axis nations (Germany, Italy, and now Japan). By far the biggest and best-known of these camps were situated on the Isle of Man, but it is also known, albeit little recorded, that additional camps were set up on Sodor - sort of as an overflow, should the number of internees become too much for Man to handle on its own.

It should be noted that Sodor’s government were pretty much forced into this course of action by their larger neighbours. They weren’t proud of this at the time - and still aren’t, as a matter of fact - and while they’ve never tried to hide it from the people, they’ve never gone out of their way to draw much attention to it either.

Anyway, the point of mentioning all this is at some point, someone had the idea of sending Hiro up to Sodor to be stored for the duration of the War. It made sense at the time, as the island was far enough off the beaten track that Hiro could be hidden with relative ease, and hardly anyone would know he was there. And if somehow his cover was blown? Well, the rest of the network rarely paid attention to the North Western Railway anyhow, and they need never find out, right?

At the beginning of December 1941 Hiro was duly transferred up to Sodor under cover of darkness, and hidden on a siding off the old Ulfstead branch line (this is the line that branches off west of Maron, and is not to be confused with the later extension of the Ffarquhar branch). This line had never been particularly well looked after, and so it didn’t take long for Hiro’s hideout to become totally overgrown with trees, completely cutting him off from the outside world.

Incidentally, the timing of this operation couldn’t have been more fortuitous. Just a few nights later, Pearl Harbour happened, and anti-Japanese sentiment in Britain skyrocketed as a result. So, yeah, it was a good thing Hiro was forced into hiding...

It seems the government all but forgot about Hiro after hiding him away, and as a result he remained hidden for forty-odd years, and in that time, the old Ulfstead line went through many changes:

Having seen limited use even before the War, the line ended up being closed altogether, following the opening of the Ffarquhar branch extension in 1972. The tracks remained in situ, serving as an alternate route in emergencies.

In 1973, however, the line was reopened in order to serve the ill-fated Boulder Quarry. Needless to say, this didn’t last long, and the line was mothballed shortly after the quarry’s closure.

Finally, in 1976, the line was reopened again, to serve the Boxford family’s newly-constructed summerhouse (the one seen in Edward The Great). How Hiro was never uncovered during the house’s construction is anyone’s guess, though in fairness the undergrowth had gotten even worse by then.

It was not until early 1981 that Hiro was finally rediscovered, and like so many things on Sodor, he was found quite by accident (although his was an unusual case, in that nobody was looking for him in the first place). In 1981, the Duke & Duchess of Boxford decided to move to Sodor permanently, and had their summerhouse rebuilt and expanded accordingly. The Ulfstead branch was upgraded to allow Spencer to access the Boxford estate, and it was while clearing back the worst of the undergrowth that Hiro’s siding was uncovered - and Hiro himself with it.

Sir Topham Hatt was naturally intrigued when he heard Hiro’s story, and decided there was no harm in letting him stay and work on the NWR. However, he at least had the sense to check this over with the British government first, and they were only too happy to let him keep Hiro - the only real difficulty came in convincing them that they’d requisitioned Hiro in the first place!

Despite having been abandoned for about forty years, Hiro was still in surprisingly good condition - when he was first hidden away, he’d been prepared so that he could be returned to service at a moment’s notice. Obviously plenty of work still had to be done on him, but his overhaul was completed in much less time than had been expected.

It was during this overhaul that Crovan’s Gate managed to put together all the plans and drawings needed to make spare parts for Hiro. Although this would prove expensive in the long run, it was still much cheaper than having to order parts all the way from Japan.

Hiro officially entered NWR service in the summer of 1981, and was allocated to Barrow-In-Furness sheds. He has remained there ever since, and mainly works on the Main Line. While he has no personal preference, Hiro is much more likely to be seen hauling freight than passengers.

His current number, 51, is apparently the one found on his tender when he was rediscovered. He believes it was originally D51, and placed there by his builders as an additional promotional aid.

Hi! Saw you mention Carlisle, Esme, and Rose display signs of PTSD, and Jasper is sociopathic. I agree on Esme, but was stumped by the others. Could you explain what you meant?

So I admit this is mostly coming from that fateful dinner table conversation we see in Midnight Sun. A lot of the Cullen family dynamics get revealed in that conversation. Having read the draft dozens of times years ago, I noticed every single tweak SM made in the final published version. And she brought all of these aspects even more to the fore in the final version than were present in the original.

Mind you, I tend to disregard a lot of this because I read the characters as presented in canon as cardboard. Meyer needed them as props to Edward and Bella's epic love story and so she gave them these very rigid personalities so that they didn't affect the story in ways she didn't want them to. So I tend to assume they are more complex people than they are presented as when I write them. However, the way they are presented is consistent with major issues, and that, too, can be fruitful to think about and explore.

Let's start with sociopathy. First, let me acknowledge that this is not a term that gets applied by psychologists. It's antisocial personality disorder. Sometimes, people who have it are described as not having a conscience. Now, Jasper's gift makes that kind of impossible--by the time we meet him in canon, he's suffering from the weight of the feelings he feels. But we don't get remorse from Jasper. He's not spending a lot of time thinking about what he's done in his lifetime before Alice (directly contrary to how I have written him in the past). His solution to the Bella situation is just...let her not wake up some morning.

Jasper's entire approach, throughout the saga, is pure strategy. Fighting James? Do what is necessary, including splitting everyone else's mate off from them. Fighting the newborns? Train everyone, recruit the wolves at whatever cost to them. And the only reason we don't get his take on His focus is singular: Alice. Whatever the safest outcome is for Alice, that's the one, no matter who else is implicated.

One might think that an empath might approach this all differently--that someone who is forced to suffer the heartbreak of all the other people around him might choose paths which mitigate his own suffering, at least a little. But he never takes this road. Even Carlisle, who by all accounts, seems to be able to sway all the other members of the family, is powerless against Jasper. It's only Alice who can keep him in check.

Psychopathy and sociopathy are sometimes described as being the difference between whether someone has a conscience or not. Sociopaths have a conscience but are theoretically willing to sidestep it when the outcome is favorable. This is canon Jasper to a t, and the fact that he remains this way, after gaining his vampire curse gift, just says all the more about him.

Rosalie, in canon, has mostly disassociated. She is absolutely singular in her pursuit of the only thing that matters to her--making everyone else pay for the fact that Carlisle robbed her of her humanity. The reason I'm willing to armchair psychologist this as PTSD rather than sociopathy like Jasper is that this is not about winning or having a particular outcome. She is acting out of woundedness. We see this in the way she acts at the dinner table--mostly concerned with the effects on her personally, if the Cullens have to move, on the way she handles Bella's humanity, taking until almost a year of elapsed time, even without the New Moon separation, to explain to Bella what what her issues are, and then her hyperfixation on Renesmee, which was not at all about Bella, of course. She responds to the world out of the pain of the worst moment of her existence. Some other PTSD symptoms that Rose exhibits is a general sense of hopelessness, difficulty maintaining close relationships--even with Emmett, we get the impression that their relationship is based on his adoration of her beauty and their wild sex, not on their intimacy. And of course, of all the Cullens, she's the one most prone to angry outbursts, yet another symptom. I happen to think those are usually justified, but they could be read as pathology just as easily.

Ah and Carlisle. This might veer into my headcanon a bit too much, but I'll try to stick to what's on the page. He is constantly, constantly reacting to Edward’s rebellion. I don't think that Rosalie was turned to be Edward's mate. But I do think she was turned because Carlisle was thinking of Edward. He has spent three hundred sixty years running from who he is. There are some theological reasons for this, but there's a perfectly valid worldly explanation for a lot of his behavior in the saga that he's constantly acting out of trauma to keep his family together by hook or by crook. Turning someone into a vampire just because his daughter, who hates him, asked? Drugging a woman by the side of a Phoenix freeway? As a writer, I find several of his actions to be just bad, uninspired writing. But if we take them at face value, you have someone who is constantly trying to patch together things that won't patch. The part where my headcanon comes in is that I read everything that happens after 1931 as a desperate attempt to keep Edward from ever rebelling again. We don't get a sense in canon of exactly how Carlisle felt about that, except for the intense feelings Edward has about Carlisle. If one assumes those feelings are mirrored even a little, Carlisle was undoubtedly traumatized by what Edward did (and, by extension, what that means for his own neediness and loneliness to have turned Edward in the first place), and his every choice after then is about keeping Edward from ever doing that again. Perfectionism, unwillingness to let down one's façade, ineffable optimism--as weird as it seems, these are also very classic trauma responses and Carlisle has them all.

This post is long enough already but there's another layer here in SM's canon that vampires can't change and what that means for the way they respond to trauma. Suffice it to say that I don't think Twipires experience mental health the same way humans do, and that some aspects of what is canon about who they are results in people who must, by definition, be quite effed up.
