#All of this is speculation/my headcanon of course tho))

Okay serious talk for a moment: I think putting Beat & Neku in the Noise Shibuya was Tsugumi's/Tsugumi's Brother's idea & it was their idea to try & lure the two of them in. However when things started getting out of hand with Sanae & Joshua showing up is when Coco decided to take the plan off course by shooting Neku. Originally she planned to shoot both Neku & Beat. But because Joshua shot her & she had to run she didn't have time to shoot both of them in order to get them both to the city.

By all accounts the lupin fandom has always prided itself as a drama free ship war free open to polyamory and wildly different headcanons fandom. And I can name a few people that have worked hard to keep this place very friendly. And I really started in this fandom in a friendly place. I even managed to make friends that Liked Luzeni maybe even just as much as me. I was ecstasic. I really loved those people so much, I talked to them daily. Some of them I respected so much for their craft. Great.

Id always been upfront and very clear that they were befriending someone who was fucked in the head. And i dont mean seasonal depression type I mean Bipolar and Bpd and all the symptoms it entails. Im not even going to mention the upbringing and the life ive had. All of it was a complete and violently abusive catastrophy.

Last year I exhibited symptoms that were intense. TOXIC. It didnt mean that I was toxic to my friend, because I was rational enough to know about boundaries. I was at the end of my rope. For undisclosed reasons I had to be interned. Great. During the ultimate time that lead me to become crazy, not a single person i thought was my friend gave me a hand. I received a message from one friend while I was litteraly perched on the windowsill about to jump telling me about their life. Not asking abt me. I sent some Hey thats cool but im about to kill myself and they didnt reply. Days after I was interned they told me that my message triggered them so they had to have an emergency meeting with their psychiatrist. Cool. Nothing abt me still. Sorry ? Fallout 1

During yhat whole shitstorm and despite everything a friend became my like. favorite person in bpd terms. Just really fucking embarassing shit really. I tried to prevent it, i tried to pull out not to make it worse, which not only was making it worse but was making it toxic. I aparently blew out, which of course my memory conveniently forgot. I said something ahout their partner. They never explained what. Again, after internment I apologized. They told me they needed time. They bsolutely deserved it. I was probably horrible to warrant that reaction. I might even have been toxic. Again, I do not remember what I even said. Im not a demonic entity it couldnt have been like I desacrated them and insulted them beyond repair. Even in my anger I have always been limited. But all i can do is speculate. They never explained, just took my apology. And then They never came back. That friend I liked so much that despite everything I did to control myself became a person i liked beyond wat was normal. We have had so much fun. Not enough to mend bridges or explained anything. Fallout 2

During that blow out one friend meddled, asking that other friend for information ? I asked to pass along a message to friend B. which friend A refused. Like it was not their business, even tho they were clearly invested in the business enough to talk to both of us about it lol. No problem. 4 days ago thou i confronted a group of friends that were friends As friend, for kicking them out of an rp group for no reason, even bordering on racism. My friend feels hurt about that event, has always hinted at it. it even stopped them from rping, something they did for 12 years. They had no closure and so I tried to bring it to them. Asshole move or empathic ? Thinking back i may have been taking the situation personnaly because i was already on my way out menrally. I dont know. All i know is that four days later, after i talked for hours to that group and the reason why they treated my friend so poorly that they still had scars over it, i was experiencing a mental crisis and that friend refused a request. Great. Fallout 3

The last friend litteraly stood by and said nothing. Not before the fallout and not after. I dont even know'if that counts as a fallout. This girl was so cute, so fun, so talented, so FUNNY. And when it came to a heed she said nothing. No side taking. Neutrality. Okay

At this point I no longer had anyone to talk to I think. I was documenting my attempt and the horrible conditions of the psych ward on twitter for everyone of my "friends" to see. One i particularly loved so much because they genuinely were on the same level of insanity related to luzeni made a tweet about the late hystix, a person i did not know but a lot of the lupin fandom did. A beautiful soul that was always supportive and kind. Everyone was mourning her. It was truly heartbreaking. I hope she is in peace. Our attempts matched in timing, it was actually mindblowing. Mine just fucking failed because of nosy neighbors. I feel so close to her in spirit still. That we both struggled so much that we came to the conclusion that nothing could save us. She did not have the nosy neighbors. That friend mourned her publicly.. on twitter. Ok. Logical, its a depressing, horrible and sad situation all around. All we can do is mourn. Still, it was a friend I was genuinely close to. That never showed the empathy they did to me. Hey dude so im kind of facing the exact same issues but you never reached out ? While my torment was there and documented on twitter because again. I did not fucking know wat was going on. I was in a strict mental ward under a lot of dosage from nurses who refused to give me insulin even thou i was type 1. Friend said that they tweeted at me. No mention of the years and years of discussions we had on discord and me checking up on them everytime they pulled out for severe family matters and i was genuinely concerned. Nope they aparently tweeted something at me. Okay. Thank you for the concern. Your investment really shows. Fallout 4

after that I stopped friends all together. The fact that friends I was talking nigh on everyday to each revealed their lack of concern for me during an extreme mental health crisis was abyssmal to say the least.

Fallout 5 came with Sheen. I was managing a charity zine for Palestine, and the lack of investment from so many artists brought me to the edge. I took it out on Sheen in the softest way possible. I told them I was disapointed in their piece and that it looked low effory. Sheen, a person I had knwon for the entirety of my investment in the lupin fandom, decided that an offense was enough to block me and never speak again. Once again i was on the verge of yet another blow out. And it happened. Lol. Its just so funny in retrospect that everytime I start acting weird alluding to a breakdown people shun me out despite, you know. me being clear abt my medical record. I realized that I was rude to Sheen and it was uncalled for. Apologized publicly not in the attempt that Sheen sees it but just so that everyone knows that if they hear abt the story, at least they know its all been my fault. Online friendships are so cool because it just takes the block button to burn bridges without coming back. With no chance of mending or at least a genuine apology. so Fallout 5

Is there a reason that all of these issues happened within one fandom ? I do think so. Unless i am incredibly unlucky. Or an abusive piece of shit unbeknownst to me. I think that the lupin fandom is surface level niceties. If they dont like you you will know. It will be passive but you will be muted and eventually just ostracized. You will not be invited in fandom events, or group discussions. It did not help that my mental health was constantly deteriorating and I started developping a persecution complex, thinking that people were making secret discords where they were telling others to avoid me or something. Ive endured all of this for one thing. One Humiliating thing : i love luzeni. I love it so much I want a tatto of it. I love it so much that after years before sleep I pick a random fic and then imagine their discussions. I love their dynamic so much. I love their romance I love how fucking inhinged they are i love that they hurt and love each other the same, i love that they cant live without the other, that they genuinely complete each other in a really ugly but complete patchwork of mental illness and really elaborate kinks.

I gave up thou. Another depression, I blew out, attempted again with the window, got caught and sent to the hospital. It pulled me back from the fandom. I realized i was allocating so much of my thoughts to it and how I could be better perceived, how I could make friends again to talk about the fictional thing i loved the most in the world. And I realized that in giving up and keeping to myself, that I could be more stable. That the damage was done and I cant really enjoy this fandom anymore, but Im still attached to the hip to luzeni and so in the words of a really brilliant man... Nah... Ill do my own thing.

U might be wondering why the hell is this bitch airing their laundry publicly. Its therapeutic. You dont have to read or care. If those friends see it, and make a comment of their own about how the events did NOT happen like I told, I would love to hear how they perceived it. I do not give my friendship freely and easily and these people have done profound damage to my abilty to trust. And most of all, I never had any closure. I kept rethinking, blaming them, then myself, then miscommunication, then them and then myself again. To this day I dont know why all of this happend. Did I act like an unfathomable monster, or did my friend simply not give a shit enough to help me through this. I dont fucking know and I cant deny either options. Maybe I am talking through a completely selfish wrapped sens of perception that is not to be trusted. I wouldnt be surprised. I have a very hard time relying on my own brain lately. My health is deteriorating very fast, and shit is getting worse.

The second reason is that I am going to be interned for psychiatric issues for the next 3 months. For the first time in my life I think Ill finally get all the professional support i need, available and close. Im not going to be investing any time in the fandom, if simply talking to the psychiatrist abt this catastrophic strings of fallouts. I might be posting some luzenis, but frankly i doubt it. I only make fanart when I am happy, or sad enough but still capable. Im neither right now. You are not entitled to any of these informations, but I just wanted to write them out of my mind because I have a LOT of baggage to go on through and this is an extra bag I dont need so im throwing it out.

You cannot gauge an entire fandom from your perspective, the same way you cannot gauge an entire userbase. No, tiktokers are not the worst people in humanity. Neither are reddit users. Being on tumblr is cool, but it doesnt make u better than being on twitter. And so this is only my opinion of the lupin fandom. I met some amazing persons that i wish the best for, for ever and ever, but in all the niceties and welcoming you might see, I dont think that extends to a person with mental illnesses that are villified, or out of their control. I can fairly say that my experience was disapointing, and I dont intend to rekindle anything. Ill just be on the fringe maintaining the spirit of luzeni alive because fuck you monkey punch these are my characters now by law.

If you read until this bro get a life. Also im joking, youv given me more consideration than most people i met have. If your take after this is that I am deranged, then youv read right.

Thank you for reading. This blog has always been a pleasure to post on, even my most cringe and embarassing shippy stuff. Ive been met with nothint but support, and I truly enjoy being here because of you. I hope this isnt a 3+ month long goodbye. I hope I draw my lovers again. But I cant guarantee anything. I wish you all health most of all, and love and compassion.

Rhun/Zahnfee Headcanon post part 2!

I linked the first Headcanon post in case you wanna check that out!:D Now, in the previous one I explained my general thoughts and how I think the Dark/White thing works! Here, I'll list off some Headcanons regarding this post, pluuus some extra headcanons!

I think Oskar would occasionally visit Rhun, who is chained to these stone pillars. There are a few reasons for that! 1. He likely has a deep fascination for Rhun, if what he said upon meeting xies in canon can be believed. Rhun is the guardian that inspired him to actually learn alchemy, so I think Rhun is the one he "looks up to", aside from Eos obviously. 2. There are a some things that he could find out through Rhun, which could help in the long run. Sure, in the first place Eos will tell them everything they need to know, but it couldn't hurt to try and get some newer information from a guardian. 3. He just feels so smug to have tricked one of the most powerful beings on earth and wants to enjoy it. While he would try to get to know more about the guardians and what exactly it is they have been doing for so many years, his main goal is to just taunt Rhun and rub the fact that xier was tricked by a "mere mortal" in. He wouldn't visit xies regurarily tho. Perhaps he'll visit Rhun 2 days in a row, just to leave xies completely by xierself for 2 weeks, visit again and dip for a month again. Irregular visits, all with different lengths. That would all happen to throw Rhun off as much as possible! Leave xies alone with nothing but xies contradicting thoughts and the pain the chains bring, as we saw in the Spin-Off. It would also make it so that Rhun would actually start looking forward to Oskar's visits, making xies more likely to actually answer to his questions. Now, I dont exactly have a lot of scenarios or possible convo's in my head, but I'm sure, depending on how long Rhun was actually chained there and when exactly Oskar died, there's a lot of stuff you could write for that! Perhaps I will try to bring all this down in a one shot! If not, anyone reading this is welcome to! Long as you give credit ofc :D Now, other headcanons! There is a lot of speculation regarding wether or not Rhun actually has a daughter now and who she is, if maybe Julia is xies daughter and what exactly happened to her, etc., etc. Well, here is what I like to believe! Julia is Rhun's daughter that xier adopted when she was a new-born, however, lost her when she was 4. I imagine that Rhun would perhaps one day hear screaming in the area near the hotel and would check that out, just to find little Julia in a basket with just a thin blanket around her and a frog stuffed animal. And, as heartless as Rhun may seem to be, xier really couldn't just leave a new-born out in the woods, could xier? And just like that, xier took the basket back to the hotel and got little Julia fed and some warmer clothes. After asking Minty for advice on what the hell xier should do with the baby now, she suggested to take her with xies on one of xies nightly trips to collect teeth and leave her at an orphanage. However, xier did not like the sound of that idea, given xies past in the monestary and was afraid that, by doing so, xier would be giving an innocent baby a childhood as bas as xies. Of course the times changed and the odds of her living a good life in an orphanage were much bigger than they were when Rhun was still a child, but xier didn't want to risk it. And like that, Rhun gave her the name Eirlys (a welsh name meaning snowdrop. The reason is because the name Rhun is also of Welsh origin, so I figured it'd only make sense) to commemorate finding her during winter on a little snow hill and started to raise her. Xier was...well, overwhelmed with doing xies job AND taking care of a newborn, but luckily had the help of Minty and Hairy (who xier didn't exactly trust with Eirlys...) to manage.

The first 4 years passed and Rhun has grown extremely fond of xies daughter, however, dreading the day that she as a mortal will unfortunately die. So xier was looking for any way possible to eventually, when she became a grown-adult, turn her immortal as well. And maybe even teach her xies ways and turn her into a Toothfairy.

Unfortunately, when Rhun was busy doing xies job and left the hotel unattended aside from Minty and Hairy, Eirlys snuck out and got lost in the woods surrounding it. In the woods, she met a few kids her age and got invited to play hide and seeks with them. However, while she was looking for a hiding spot, she fell into a well and obviously, couldn't get out anymore.

The new friends she made while playing also didn't find her, as they didn't think of checking the well and were busy looking for her until eventually deciding to go get one of their parents for help. At the same time that was happening, the stranger (Hope y'all know who I mean ;D) found her and luckily, helped her out. The thing is, when Eirlys fell into the well, she hit her head a bit too hard and as a result, barely had any memories from before that. After talking with the stranger a bit, who also guided her more to the edge of the forest, she was eventually found by one of the parents of the kids she was playing with.

The stranger mysteriously disappeared without telling her their name. And, since she did not have any recollection of what happened before she fell into the well, there wasn't any place she could be brought back to. So instead, she was then put into an orphanage but soon got adopted by her canon parents!:D

The thing is, the stranger removed any and all traces of magic that she had on her that she could have gotten from her stay at the hotel. And also kind of made her "invisible" to the guardians, so that finding her, would be near impossible. It would wear off the older so got, but even as an adult, it's difficult for the guardians to fully register she's there.

And just like that, Rhun lost xies daughter. When xier came back that night to find Minty and Hairy both panicking about where she is, xier was devastated AND outraged. Instead of wasting much time being angry at them tho, xier immediately went looking for her. Almost every waking moment of xies is spent looking for Eirlys, aside from doing xies regular job and using the teeth to renew the barrier keeping Eos on the moon and the hotel save.

This is very sad indeed D: not to worry though, I do have a little AU in my head on what would have happened if Eirlys/Julia didn't sneak out that day and would have fully grown up with Rhun :DD I'll make a little post about that one day too! For today tho, that was enough headcanons in one post xDD Or maybe I'll write some more headcanons down later, who knows! Anyway, see y'all!:D

[chasingrabbits-art]

Do you have any headcanons that you've picked up from s9meone else or vis versa? Are there any plot threads you're excited to get to in your stories? Hope you're having a good day!

Sorry this took so long to answer!

Didn’t see it for a while and then forgot about it :p

Most of my personal hcs are just me looking at general fandom hcs like ghost cores/lairs, speculative biology and basically going

Some of my personal favs are:

Danny is trans masc

Leo is trans masc and gay

Donnie is nb and bi

Mikey is bigender/polygender and asexual

Raph is trans fem/demi girl

I’m a big April/Cas/Sunita truther

Love Jack/Maddie/Vlad College trio or Family breakfast

And need more BaronJitsu

Leo and Danny are fluent in Spanish bc I think it’d be funny

Some that are from some more specific places:

@spookberry ‘s half normie Tucker (even tho I’m not at all familiar monster high i still love this au and hc Tucker as a werewolf)

Slider Casey jr. from Cass’ apocalypse series (bc of course)

Can’t think of any other ones off the top of my head and I’d be pleasantly surprised if people have incorporated some of my ideas even if they aren’t that unique

Send in your AUs/headcanons I love hearing about them!!!!!

And I have soooooo many ideas for stories I’m just chronically tired and stressed LOL

For my DPxROTTMNT comic I’m really excited to just get the ball rolling in the story! I had a lot of fun with the script and I’m itching to just draw it out.

I’m also tossing the idea in my head to do a DPxROTTMNT 2 with Big Mama and Vlad and looking for excuses to draw Sunita since I love drawing her a lot now!

I also have so many ideas for AMVs and fanfics in my head that I work on once in a while but since writing and animation aren’t things I’m “good at” they might never see the light of day LOL

Hi! :D

Do you mind if I request headcanons for Erwin as a dad to a preferably fem reader (can be gn tho)

Headcannon no. 7

═══════════════════════════════════════

Father Figure pt.2

(A/N: Ofc anon! I haven’t had an Erwin request in so long that I forgot to even go back and fix up past posts to fit my blog’s current theme better, so thanks for the reminder lmao. Enjoy~)

There was no doubt you were a daddy’s girl. From for first visit to HQ, to your more recent visits, it was immediately and widely known; You were the newly appointed Commander’s daughter.

Not only did your appearance make that obvious, sharing in his blonde hair and piercing blue eyes, but the very air you carried into every room you occupied had everyone certain of this fact.

For a time, until you were around halfway through your adolescence, you’d stayed away from your father’s profession. But finding nothing entertaining enough among the lives of fellow citizens around you, nor thought provoking enough for your taste, you’d make the choice on your own to join your father.’s side in the Corps.

At first, he’d been hesitant to accept you into the Scouting Corps, and only later would you realize this was out of fear for losing you like he had your mother. But after some time, and late night talks with him in his office, he’d finally relented; you would join them in their exploration for information beyond the walls.

For a time, he chose not to play favorites, and you remained a cadet under a squad he had command over. But after only a short time within the ranks, and much to the speculation of favoritism from fellow branch officers, you quickly rose up from cadet to captain, and from captain to section commander at Erwin’s side.

He of course was quick to dispel such rumors, and was oh so, so proud to see you climbing the rank ladder so swiftly.

You were his daughter, after all. Of course you would excel quickly.

Once talk died down of Erwin choosing his elites from personal preference, something that was never true to begin with, word began to spread of not only your likeness to your father with intellect and integrity within meetings you would frequently attend, but also while out on the field.

Not only were you willing to lay down your life for the future cause, but you were clever. Cunningly so. And incredibly dangerous with a blade.

The amount of times you’d swindled a man out of coin for the Survery Corp’s budget simply by speaking overly formally and confusing the hell out of high ranking military personnel’s were beyond count.

And honestly, Erwin couldn’t have been more proud.

He believed stealing was wrong, of course, but was this really stealing if they offered coin so freely after hardly understanding a word his daughter’s highly educated mind spoke?

Of course, he was proud of you for far more than your ability to sway decisions into your favor, thought you’d learned it from him.

He was proud also of your resolve, and your underlying devotion to every cause you dedicated your heart to. Which, frankly, with your spacious heart, was displayed often.

On a lighter note though, we all know Erwin is a total dad. I mean your typical suburban father figure who cracked the corniest jokes. So of course, as his daughter, you would get a whole other side to his personality than most did.

While his rules might be strict at times, out of fear for losing you on the battlefield, they were most strict when it came to the matter of your personal life.

“I understand the Captains are going out for a drink tonight in celebration, but I expect you to be back at base by 10pm. And no boys, you hear? I’ve already had a chat with Hange and Levi to keep an eye on you.”

Besides losing to the titans and losing valuable information, his greatest fear by far was to see you suffer in any way relating to the way he had. Whether that be romantically, or through losing as much as he had in his past.

He wanted nothing but the best for you, something he only had for the brief time he still had his parents and wife around to keep him company and to love on.

Now that they were gone, he knew he would not waste a single second of his time with you in fear that you could face what he had.

Beyond his desire to reach the Jeager’s basement in Shiganshina, was his desire to protect and provide for his only living kin; you.

Vividly you remembered the promise he had made you as a child; “One day, I will provide a free world, all for you to explore and love your fullest in. And I’ll be with you, all the way.”

And all the way up until the bitter end, he held true his promise to you. Despite the loss falling all around you, he had indeed provided a way in which for you to explore the open word around you. He had been right, after all; Paradis was not alone.

With his spirit guiding you forward, you did what the both of you had always dreamed of doing, once the war had finally come to an end; exploring the vast world around you with a heart lightened of all burden.

[technocite]

Hex dynamic speculations (mostly about Leticia tho) below the cut:

I think there’s probably a lot of tension between Leticia and Arthur- I sort of headcanon her as being the one who’s most skeptical of his ability to function as leader. And not without good reason! He’s having memory lapses or losing control of his body (he seems to indicate that it wasn’t the first time his body Did That when his hand was forced to type on the keyboard in the demo), keeps losing track of his belongings (we have his pager, and Eleanor took his keys- he mentions ‘someone is taking my stuff which suggests that those two things aren’t the only items he’s lost), keeps his (no longer human, frighteningly monstrous) sister around, is self-isolating, etc. Maybe hypothetically when Lettie suggests that he might be having mental health problems (from stress or the technocyte infection; whatever) he takes it as a threat of insubordination or something? He clearly has trust issues regarding his team I think. And as team medic Leticia probably has the biggest picture of how the technocyte infection is very clearly having deleterious effects on people’s mental health (like it’s very clearly having an effect on everyone! Amir doesn’t seem to be doing so well either. And I’d be surprised if Aoi and Quincy aren’t having issues of their own too. And Eleanor’s mental architecture is clearly not that of a neurotypical human anymore.) That last part is extremely baseless speculation on my part, idk but Leticia would probably be noting how people are doing since that’s like. Her job to know how people are doing, physically. So shit is fucked and she can see the writing on the wall that the dynamic of the team cannot continue at its trajectory and either she doesn’t know how to manage it, or resents that the burden of responsibility of keeping everyone in check fell onto her, or whatever reason. So she’s got one foot out the door already. Long story short is that I speculate that Leticia is suspicious that Arthur is compromised and thus jeopardizing their mission and doesn’t have a lot of trust in his judgement. Which of course Arthur might not take very well, which only complicates things further.

And like, Leticia’s the team medic. She ends up doing the bulk majority of work keeping everyone alive, and this is difficult because a. It is the apocalypse b. They are being actively hunted by military agents with guns c. Nobody has normal human biology anymore and they keep mutating even weirder as time goes on so she’s constantly forced to figure out how to handle medical stuff on the fly. It’s not like they teach warframe anatomy in medical school. She probably isn’t going in completely blind (might have been able to get information from Entrati when they worked together in the past) but still. Plus she’s succumbing to this infection herself- she doesn’t appear as mutated as the rest (at least her legs appear mostly human from the knees down) so maybe there’s the existential horror of watching your teammates all fall victim to this weird alien infection and have it be a constant reminder of what will eventually happen to you. Etc etc.

Again this is me extrapolating a LOT from very little evidence and is probably not the direction they take the characters in 1999. But it’s fun to speculate

[danidoesathing]

hiii random ask! what’s your favorite lord huron lore headcanon/theory??

oooh thats a. thats a question. i have a lot of theories/headcanons (because lh lore is like. 50% speculation in itself lol). my personal favorite is the lonesome dreams time loop theory but i have already talked about that at length before (tho i will talk about it again if prompted. please). so instead i shall. list off a few of my favorites because. i cannot choose besides that

-Buck can see ghosts normally and has all of his life. He doesn't really know why and at this point has become to desensitized to it. The ghosts and the undead are just a part of his life that he barely registers as unusual anymore (and only because no one else can see them.)

-This, of course, has entirely screwed up his perception of life and death as a whole, and has caused him to idolize and borderline obsess over the concept of death.

-He did in fact die during his overdose in Vide Noir. Is having died and come back on a drug that notoriously breaks space and time, and leaves a ripple effect both forwards and backwards in time the reason he's been able to see ghosts from birth? idk. these questions are there to haunt him not me

-Speaking of, Johnnie saw his own death in Until the Night Turns (or at least the event that inspired him to write the song). High chance he was also getting flashes of the future and the past leading up to his death (would love to see that story ngl, the slow burn decent of paranoia and your death unfolds before your eyes but being unable to change it is peak shit)

-Moonbeam is in fact psychic, but she either A. is in denial. B. Does realize and acknowledge it, but lied about it. or C. literally has not realized that she can in fact see the future yet.

-Z'Oiseau is the "Fool" in the Yawning Grave narrative

-speaking of that bitch he's the reason more spooky shit has been occurring. Him selling the reality breaking space drug has, surprise, broke reality and has been thinning the "veil" more and more.

-"Is Anybody Out There?" is either a frankie song or a Danielle (frozen pines narrator who hasn't appeared in nine years) song.

-That or Danielle is the woman in the poem. this is how she can still win trust me guys-

-New album is gonna be more Vide Noir esq in terms of vibes. the space cosmic horror is back and better than ever baby!!!

-and maybe even get some info on the Balancer....who knows....

[tfc-gal-pal]

Tbh I know gay Eddie is the most popular headcanon but I think objectively he would be bisexual. Whether one wants to believe he was in love with Shannon or not (and I think the show wants us to believe it), he had a lot of sex with her and it was never implied he didn't enjoy it. A lot of people seem to either have convinced themselves that the Shannon plot didn't happen or that it doesn't count anymore since it was so long ago. That's not how sexuality works tho. So yeah, I wouldn't say we have all come to the same conclusion here.

Thank you for the ask!

That’s totally valid and that makes sense with what the writers have given us since we first met Shannon. She has been the only solid love interest. And yes, you are right, he did seem to enjoy hooking up with her. Based on this, I think there is a solid claim for him being bisexual.

As for him being not into women at all, the main argument I’ve seen has been his seeming disinterest in the women he’s dated. (except Shannon). I speculated somewhere else that it’s possible he formed a strong friendship with Shannon that he mistook for romance, but this doesn’t explain his physical attraction towards her. As you said, sexuality includes physical attraction.

There is, of course, the possibility Eddie is straight, but I dont think he is and i am extremely hopeful that the showrunners aren’t going to make him “come out” as straight.

As for the post i made asking when we’d decided Eddie was gay and not bi, the only posts i have seen have been saying he’s gay since i started actively following the 911 tag here about 2 weeks ago. It was a lighthearted way of basically asking how did the majority of people come to this conclusion im curious. i personally don’t have a strong feelings on it, my opinion is that he’s definitely queer and might go as far as to call him gay (as in a guy who likes guys but not necessarily restricted to them, i am bi also call myself gay sometimes, idk if anyone else does this) but beyond that idk.

Regardless, sexuality is very nuanced and every person has their own unique experience with it. I’m not sure how Eddie would choose to identify or if the show is even going to attach a label to him. I hope however they do (or don’t) label him, people don’t start tearing each other and the actors to shreds.

I hope this makes sense? Again thank you for the ask! This was fun to analyze. I’m really excited we’re getting to see these stories play out and to have the possibility of confirmed queer Eddie on screen, something that I think many of us can agree was almost nonexistent under Fox.

If anyone made it to the end of my jumbled thoughts, thank you, i would love to hear yours in the comments or asks. i know a lot of people have really strong feelings about Buddie and 911 in general and while tumblr isn’t the shitshow that is currently twitter, this is my first time wading into waters like these and i am scared so please be nice even if you disagree :)

[starfolk7]

1 for Lies of P and your other fandoms (how yould you forget Pino and friends? xD)

Omg you're right I blanked and forgot to list that in the tags MY BAD JFHDHD

1. List 3 positive things about your current fandom(s)

I guess I'm gonna organize these by fandom lol

Pokemon:

- Diversity! Since it's been around for so long, there's tons of fics to read. If you can think of it, someone has probably written it. There's a Mewtwo fic I found in college that's basically a retelling of the events of the first movie, but holy shit it's written so beautifully it made me cry in front of my friends rjrhdgde. It's a dense read, but still one of my absolute favorite fics to this day. That's just an example of things you can find!

- Sub-fan bases. Basically, if you're a big fan of a certain Pokémon, a type of Pokémon, one of the games, etc., you're going to find your people very easily. Kind of falls under the first one a bit but ya know lol.

- Some of the cutest and also the most badass fanart comes out of this fandom. I have both art of a Sylveon with a lollipop and art of Mewtwo breaking out of their armor from the first movie. The duality of man djrhdgs

SoulsBorne

-Maybe I've gotten lucky and just found really nice people, but so far my experiences in the community have been largely positive! I've met some of the loveliest people by posting my Dark Souls and Bloodborne fics, and it really got me back into writing OCs again (you know that's my lifeblood lol)

-Character and lore analyses. Not that I agree with all of them, of course I don't, but if you want an analyses of anything in these games, there's some mad lad out there that's done it, whether it's a post or through an entire fic. Gives you tons to think about!

-ART!! Holy shit there's so many amazing artists in this community. We don't talk about how much SoulsBorne art I've snagged at conventions (I got more of it and Elden Ring stuff at Magfest don't look at me fjfhdhd)

Lies of P

-I haven't been in this fandom for long, but so far everyone I've met has been very sweet! They're also super OC-friendly. I can't tell you how many Stalker and Puppet OCs I've seen, among others, it's really amazing!

-Probably gonna say this for all of my fandoms but the ART OMG. There's so much gorgeous fanart floating around for this game it's insane. Still on the hunt for more Romeo pieces tho rjrhehe

-Headcanon diversity. Do you want a totally mute P? One that talks sometimes? One that's Had Enough? What I'm getting at is there's a P out there for everyone! People have been exploring all the different character angles on him and it's wonderful to see.

Ultrakill

-THE HYPE. Since this is an early access game still in development, the hype that cranks up every time an update is announced is INSANE. I don't think I've ever seen this level of it for an indie game. I got in just in time to witness this for the Violence update and the rush it gives you seeing everyone so excited is amazing!! It helps that every single update has just been an absolute banger. We have reason to be super excited, the devs do stellar work!!

-LORE. Do you wanna feel like Charlie at the corkboard in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia? Because that's where I'm definitely at right now. Since we're in the last act of the game, there's so much speculation and so many theories about how the game will end. On top of that, people have been playing in the lore sandbox ever since this game started. I know I've def been up at night wondering how the hierarchy of Heaven works and what certain layers of Hell were like before Certain Events TM (I'm being vague because I know at least one person wants to play this bear with me lol). Basically there's tons to explore and the community collectively goes insane about different bits, we have fun here lmao

-I'm bundling art and memes into this one because oh my GOD. The tonal whiplash is a rollercoaster ride. You can go from the most heart-wrenching art of Gabriel you've ever seen to a piece that goes "V1 is a shrimp now" and sometimes you just need that snap back to some levity. The memes are absolutely top-tier. It helps that the voice actor for Gabriel already does memes and shitposts on his YouTube channel, so he just carries that over for Ultrakill stuff sometimes and y'know what? This game is dark, I'm gonna need these memes for when the ending makes me bawl like a baby. The Violence layer already has me feeling the creeping sense of dread (if you know you KNOW).

[7-oh-ta1]

My favorite headcanon so far is that they were the most recent Oracles to the Golden Goddesses who underwent draconification in order to protect/maintain the ancient springs and statues!! Since so much time has past since sksw it's reasonable to assume that without upkeep from dragon scales/claws/horns/etc they were deteriorating and losing their power.

As for their names being so similiar to the Golden Goddesses, we know Oracles of the past have been named directly after the Goddesses so it would make sense that their names are close.

These Oracles could have been Zonai which is why they had access to the stones and why the story was passed down through the Zonai people. They have a lot of visual similarities, the ears and the goat-like face for example. They most likely did this before the initial Zonai descent to the surface, long before Rauru and Mineru's time (tho we don't know Zonai lifespans). That would be why it is only a story to Mineru.

If she was perhaps being loose with the truth however, the siblings may have even known the three dragons and possibly stayed behind on the surface initially to look after their kin... but that last part only makes sense IF Mineru wasn't being honest about draconification only being a legend to her.

This is all just speculative and headcanon of course since there's just about zero information on who these dragons originally were but I still thought I'd share my thoughts so far!

So who were Dinraal, Farosh, and Naydra before they turned themselves into dragons? And why did they do that? Did they do that prior to Hyrule 3.0's founding? These are the questions that drive us.

[furiouskettle]

whenever you've got the time for the dusknoir essay, i am SUPER HERE FOR IT

Hiding under readmore since theres a couple people following me who are in the middle of playing sky and these are lategame spoilers

Do you think Dusknoir allowed himself to enjoy the past? The cool night breeze, the waves on the seashore, the patter of rain? The chatter of pokemon on the streets of Treasure town, their kindness, their adoration? 

He can't get attached.

These things of the past are incompatible with his existence. If he doesn't succeed… No one would know him. No one will know him. There will be no Dusknoir to know of.

He cannot fail.

(a fate worse than death is no fate at all)

___

Anyway attempts at fancy writing aside I really love the thought that dusknoir's ruse wasn't all fake? (it's mostly speculation/headcanon on my part here.)

Of course, he cannot allow himself to be truly a friend to the guild- but they weren't a threat to his mission since everyone was alarmed abt the missing time gears. And before he came to treasure town he did have to spend a while building up his reputation... but did he have to become the best of the best? all he needed was to be more reputable than grovyle and lets be honest thats kind of a low bar. (sidenote do you think he used time travel to just. do a bunch of exploration missions at once to boost his reputation at first)

Anyway he's just really cool. (not cool enough to not get beat up by some kids and a big lizard tho)

[rein-ette]

For your headcanon time period ask! How about England in the 1600's? I'm curious to see what you'd think he was up to 👀

Aighttttt lets get crackin.

For me the standout events of the decade 1600-1610 was the death of Queen Elizabeth I in 1603 and the Union of the Crowns, and the ongoing Dutch-Portuguese War Arthur was meddling in.

I like the idea that Arthur was out and sailing about at the turn of the century, since that feels appropriately symbolic. It would also mean he was probably abroad when Queen Elizabeth made her Golden Speech in November of 1601, which marks the end of her reign. That speech was surprise for everyone, since Elizabeth was supposed just supposed to talk about taxes or something, and instead revealed that it would be her last Parliament. She then proceeds to proclaim her undying love for her country (wink wink) and gratitude to her ministers and subjects. I highly suggest everyone go read the speech because its a banger, but my favourite line is this one: And, though God hath raised me high, yet this I count the glory of my Crown, that I have reigned with your loves.

To add drama, I think Elizabeth would have prevented people from notifying Arthur, knowing he would be horrified and come running back, cutting short his time on the seas that he loved. When he returns a couple months later he indeed is horrified and after the customary ranting ("but why -- I would have come back had i known" "precisely") would retreat to his own room, read the speech, and break down.

Of course the thing with Queen Elizabeth is that she declared she was "married to her country." I probably wouldn't go with too literal an interpretation of that (tho she did the whole ring thing, man, like thats hella cute), but I do think Arthur was deeply in love with her on many different levels. Among his feelings was certainly a romantic attraction, but it was probably so intertwined with other kinds of love that Arthur could not, and eventually did not, care to tease them apart anymore. As for what she felt back, I don't really like speculating about historical characters, but I do think he would have been one of her closest confidants and cherished companion and partner. Her death in 1903 surely would have been devastating for Arthur, and after returning he definitely spent every second he could manage by her side until the very end.

Upon her death and the crowning of James I, however, Arthur would have skedaddled as fast as possible. This is because, with the coronation of James, Scotland and England were now united under one crown! Hurrah! Yeah, Arthur would have gotten out of there as fast as possible. He would have slapped that tiara on James, told his ministers not to let Scot fuck around and ruin everything, and boarded the next ship out to nowhere.

Lucky for him there are Spaniards to beat, traitors to hang, treaties to sign, and Shakespeare to watch as well! The Treaty of London ends the Anglo-Spanish War in 1604, Othello premieres the same year, guy tries to blow up Parliament in 1605 (lol Guy geddit), some random trade treaty is signed in Paris and "The Scottish Play" is released in 1606 (a personal favourite). During this time Arthur probably tried his hand at a couple sonnets and plays as well. Always a prolific writer and ever the escapist, literature would have provided a good outlet for his grief in these years.

Finally, I mentioned that the Dutch and Portuguese were having a grand old time blasting the shit out of each other. The English and Dutch East India Companies were created respectively in 1601 and 1602, after one of Port's dudes, after sailing around Asia for a bit, runs off at Amsterdam and publishes all the routes. Naturally the Dutch and English are thrilled and Port is not well-pleased, but England cannot outright start a war on Port (who's technically still a friend, even if hes in cahoots with the Spanish at this point). So Arthur lets the Dutch do the hard work of seizing all the Portuguese colonies while he provides strategic support, as one does. This leads to some very angry letter exchanges indeed with Gabi, and Arthur probably more than once guiltily slunk past Lisbon on the way back home. (Dude named Hudson was also havin a grand old time sailin up rivers and down bays in North America in 1909, so when sick of assisting the Dutch you know where Artie went).

And that's my hcs for the 1600s! As ever it got pretty long -- oops. But thanks for the ask -- I've learned quite a bit and am genuinely intrigued by this decade now, as it seems be an fascinating and complex snapshot of the very beginning of the British Empire we came to know. The foreshadowing, man.

[ahkaraii]

Cor and Drautos!! I keep wondering what their relationship (if any) was like. They at LEAST knew each other in a professional capacity, both being Captains of their respective units. But I speculate even before that-- because surely Titus was a Royal Guardsman before the Kingsglaive was established, its literally the predecesor of that group + he must've had enough justified time spent abroad in Niflheim to have had the time to become General Glauca undetected in the first place.

The Royal Guardsmen in episode Ardyn are pretty much heavily implied to be Black ops / Wetworks, who infiltrate Niflheim's secretest of secret bases with permission to attack indiscriminately to complete their mission (whatever it may be), so it stands to reason Titus may have been one of them for a long enough time (and sufficiently successful at surviving lol) that he was eventually given the title of Captain of the Kingsglaive.

Since I HC Cor was a Royal Guardsman for a few years as a young adult (because I very much like the fancanon that he rescued Prompto, tho I think he did it with Monica and Dustin instead of alone), I figure he and Titus must've crossed paths in this fashion at some point. Enough to make Cor confident enough to, at the very lest, not veto him becoming the Kingsglaive captain later down the line.

So when did Cor stop being a Royal guardsman and start being fulltime Crownsguard instead? I headcanon it was straight after Episode Ardyn, pretty much because Ardyn single-handedly invaded Insomnia with no trouble, summoned the Infernian and provoked massive casualties, and presumably beat/burnt the tar out of Clarus (is that why he's bald later on..? lol) before beating the shit out of Regis (THE KING!!! the motherfucking king!!!), and noping out via bahamut without being caught. Like! Internal security failed MASSIVELY! Cor must've been APOPLECTIC!

Honestly throughout that stupid assault I kept thinking "where the fuck is Cor in all of this!?!", and my brain eventually figured, "maybe he's not even in Insomnia..?", and thus the Royal Guardsman headcanon was born. So presumably after this incident Cor's like, IM NEVER LEAVING INSOMNIA AGAIN. And becomes round-the-clock Crownsguard.

Too overqualified to be a glorified policeman and too restless to be kept as a mere bodyguard to the king, Cor turns to being a teacher and administrator of soldiers, 1) to train those little fuckers to defend the crown properly god damnit, and 2) to lessen the burden on Clarus, who probably suffered one hell of a blow after Ardyn casual-as-you-please made a mess of Insomnia -- both physical and emotional.

Aaaaand I headcanon that it's at this point that Titus starts becoming Glauca. Titus is both trusted by Cor (who has the ear of the king and is verbally confident titus is a trustworthy asset even when abroad in hostile territory for ages and ages) and backed up by Ardyn (who is now determined to make the king's final moments miserable, as HE specifically can't kill the king by bahamut's decree, but someone close to him definitely could), so it could partially explain how Titus fast-tracked his way up BOTH enormously paranoid militaries, even when being incapable of being in both places at once.

Anyway. Yeah. Cor and Titus. Lots of feels.

I dig the Grudging-Respect/hateship vibe, like, Cor disliking Titus even while respecting and trusting him immensely. And Titus of course loathes Cor and everyone associated with the crown, but he's good at disguising it as workplace jealousy instead of the genuine hatred of a man long since wronged. It's a fascinating dynamic, moreso if you imagine them having grown up together in the military -- like, barely 20 year old highly-decorated Cor meeting 16 year old recently-joined Titus, then meeting again in the black ops as 20-somethings, then Cor gets retired early because Ardyn fucked shit up and Cor's like >:/ ....I wish I had Drautos' job (i miss being badass superspy assassin and killing niffs instead of giving out parking tickets), and Titus is like >:/ I wish I had Leonis' job (so i can get closer to the king and one day kill him)....

and maybe they hatefuck once or twice

[nevertheless-moving]

thanks again to @dykerory and @willowcrowned for this genius au. this is an incomplete collection of very specific set of headcanons/daydreams i had about a tangential version of your au that made me emotional in the middle of the woods. whenever you feel the time is right, i’m very eager to hear your og version on the ‘but obi-wan, tho!’, because i admittedly pushed this one’s resolution really far chronologically because i wanted batman to be involved.

continuation from here

note: my understanding of dcu is as sporadically informed as my understanding of the gffa. 

newly graduated clark kent gets his first journalism job and starts settling more and more into the superman thing. the rest of the justice league has been around but his entrance onto the scene is the one that really inspires the various heroes to actually start coordinating to deal with the weirdness magnet that is dcu Earth. Clark is in his early 20s. Anakin is in his late 30s.

He’s been living on Earth, without the force, for nearly 2/3rds of his life. He has a close knit circle of friends who were kind to him even when they thought he was just a weird and crazy emo cult victim (the gradual increase of public encounters with aliens and superpowers sparks some awkward apologies, Anakin at 38 just waves his friends off, smiling and changing the subject, neither confirming nor denying his high school ramblings of spaceships and magic. it doesn’t really change anything).

He lives an hour’s drive from smallville, and runs a successful auto shop. people travel from pretty far to check out some of his more wild and specialized motorcycle abominations. makes enough money selling them to rich idiots to fund his free auto-class and auto-repair programs for impoverished communities.

It took a while but he eventually came around to the idea of helping people without physical force (ironically, this is happening around the same time Clark is coming to the realization that he can help people with physical force). Generally respected as a pillar of the community. When people start to realize how profoundly weird he is as a person in a number of inexplicable ways, someone will generally pull them aside and quietly whisper that he was in a cult at a child, no one really knows much about it except that it’s what inspired his anti-modern-slavery work, which is a little telling. Not married. Was in a long-term relationship for like 9 years. It didn’t end well but no-one knows the details.

Has several cats. 

He’s- wistful but settled. He’s been through a lot of therapy. He meditates every morning and night, clearing his mind and examining his emotions in the way Obi-Wan taught him. He thinks Obi-Wan would be proud of him. He know his Mom would be.

Once he gets used to the idea, he never really stops loving the concept of learning just because. Duel bachelors degree in in african american history and american literature, masters in engineering, masters in astrophysics a phd in theoretical physics, another phd in medieval folklore. He’s worked a lot of jobs. 

He was already pretty well versed in astronavigation back at the temple. Over the course of his time on earth, he gets more educated in earth astronomy and physics. With is increased knowledge, his theory for ‘how did i get here’ shifts from slight hyperdrive miscalculation, to big hyperdrive miscalculation, to some sort of hyperlane incident. he realizes that none of the stars he knows are familiar in any NASA database. He must be beyond wildspace, which helps him let go of the last bit of hurt he felt that Obi-Wan never found him.

Then he really learns physics- and- light doesn’t exactly work like that right? He thought it was just primitive Earth understanding but... he gets a phd more or less accidentally, trying and failing to disprove that the speed of life is constant constant.

Get’s another even more accidentally, explaining how alternate universes might form if we assume slightly different universal constants. He publishes his thesis anonymously around the same time metas are becoming a household term, and at least one science journalist speculates on it and how alternate universes might explain the increasing prevalence of wildly different superpowers. He doesn’t claim credit for the honorary diploma awarded to the unknown theorist- he doesn’t want to risk drawing any attention to him and by extension Clark, who’s alien differences are far more of the ‘military experiment interesting’ variety then his.

He stops tinkering with Clark’s ship. He finally gets how it works. Now that he realizes how FTL travel has to work in this universe, tinkering with the mechanical generation and harnessing of the massive quantities of energy necessary to do is startlingly familiar. But it doesn’t matter. No matter how far and fast he travels, he’s never going to be able to get back to the life he used to know. 

Perhaps this is what being the chosen one actually means- he’s meant to live a life without the force, so that when he returns to it in death he’ll be able to somehow...educate? the force? maybe?

Ok, he’s not great at the metaphysical spiritual side of things, but he does accept that going back is out of his control, and he’s doing good here, even if it’s not galaxy altering.

Despite all the therapy, he never doubts that his early life was real. He has his saber and deep, deep down he can feel a spark in the kyber. He can’t do anything with it, but it’s there. There’s also pieces of the utter wreck that was his ship in the cellar, next to the sleek unblemished pod that Clark arrived in. Shortly before Clark becomes Superman, he asks for his help in melting down his old ship to make unearthly alloys. 

He’s not surprised when Clark tells him he met a ‘real’ ‘magic’ user- it stands to reason that considering how relatively easy it is to convert energy from one form to another in this universe (Clark can fly), at least one kind would bend to sentient willpower in a similar way as the force does.

It’s still a little nervewracking showing his lightsaber to someone new for the first time in a decade. Zantana scrutinizes, bewildered. 

“There is some sort of power locked within, but it’s unfamiliar to me,” she admits finally. “I could probably brute force it and force the energy to release itself, but it would likely destroy the container.” Anakin politely refuses. 

Later, after the justice league’s formation, Clark mentions to J’onn that he has a friend who might be able to work on his ship. J’onn is extremely doubtful when he’s brought to a bizarre autoshop in the midwest that looks half-like a roadside attraction. Anakin sighs and digs his hands into the guts of the craft, muttering incomprehensibly and yelling at clark to melt down some pieces from the special scrap pile. A few days later he explains the patches he’s done to an impressed J’onn. When he asks how a human came to learn such things, he’s absently informed that,

“I used to work in a junkshop in Tatooine. All sorts of ship parts came through.”

“I’m unfamiliar with this world.”

“Tell you what, if you ever meet anyone who’s heard it of it, send them my way, and I’ll make your next repair free.”

“Oh! I’m afraid I don’t have any earth money...”

“Ugh, of course you don’t. it’s cool, capitalism sucks anyway and everyone’s entitled to free transportation, regardless of the area they happen to live. I do ask that if you can’t pay for the repairs that you spend an equivalent number of hours either attending one of my free auto classes, or volunteer at a community-led charities of your choice, here I’ll get you a pamphlet-”

So the Martian Manhunter becomes a weekly volunteer at a Midwestern Food Waste Reclamation Facility. J’onn J’onzz ends up becoming Anakin Skywalker’s friend well before he becomes comes truly comfortable around Kal-El. For a telepath, 39 year old Anakin’s Jedi orderly mind is a soothing relief.

(again, Anakin has spent far more time meditating on Earth then he ever did at the temple. Before all this, spent five years dutifully memorizing the Jedi way even as he struggled to live up it’s basic practices. For the first few years on earth, religiously practicing every meditation technique Obi-Wan ever taught him, thinking obsessively about the philosophies he never had time to really process, is just a desperate attempt to reconnect with the force, prove himself worthy of it. But even after he gives up on ever touching the force again, he keeps up the practice, he can’t release his emotions exactly, but he does find peace. The tendency to stop mid-rant to earnestly pronounce made up zen bullshit and then sit quietly for an hour before picking up on his tirade again as though there was no interruption is one of the things many things people find profoundly weird about him)

Kal-El doesn’t stop asking new aliens and dimensional travelers if they’ve ever heard of Coruscant, or Hutts, or the Jedi Order. Anakin might have given up, but Superman remembers his older brother scrubbing away his own tears to focus on helping Clark calm down enough to touch the floor again. The more the Kryptonian’s powers developed in alarming ways, the more Anakin set aside talk of missing his home galaxy. Anakin might have claimed it wasn’t like that, but Clark was determined to take every chance his increasingly weird life threw at him, no matter how vanishingly small.

In the middle of his first battle with Braniac, Clark starts insulting his incomplete database. The world collector pauses, demanding a more precise explanation. Clark complies, giving his best technical description of Coruscant’s cityscape, Tatooine’s binary star system, and so on. Braniac is so distracted that Superman recovers completely from his kryptonite poisoning and easily saves the day.

Neither the lantern corp or the denizens of the neutral zone have the answers. Superman doesn’t mention it it Anakin, but he never stops looking and listening.

“How did you even meet that guy?” Flash asks curiously after stopping to say hello on one of their after work laps of the country. 

“Aliens among us support group,” Kal-El responds deadpan. 

“Oh. Wait, what? He’s an alien? I thought he was from the future or something! You’re messing with me. No way that’s a thing. How many people are in the support group? This is a joke, right?”

“Sorry, most of them aren’t out and I don’t want to violate their privacy- a lot of them have high profile jobs. How do you think I met J’onn?”

“SUPES I’M FREAKING OUT RIGHT NOW YOU’VE GOTTA STOP”

Anakin is just sort of vaguely known by a solid chunk of the super community as ‘that one midwestern zen space mechanic’ and no one really questions it because everyone’s life has just gotten so goddamn weird. A few of them know he used to be a space wizard of some kind. Space wizards now being a regular hazard of life on earth, no one has reason to doubt this, and it’s as good an explanation as any for Anakin’s general vibe.

well. almost no one doubts this. Batman does not simply accept Anakin’s general bullshittery without carefully investigating and drawing his own conclusions. He does not share these with anyone.

But one day Clark- this is well after Superman became Kal-El to him, and not long after Kal-El tells him to call him Clark- comes up to him and asks for his help finding about an alternate universe. Knowing and dreading where this is going, Batman stalls,

“Shouldn’t you be asking one of the league members who regularly travels between universes?”

“I have, over the years,” Clark admits, awkwardly scuffing a boot on the floor of the cave. “But no one’s familiar with the exact one I’m looking for, and I thought since you’re a detective, and also one of the smartest people I know, you might be able to help me...”

“You’re an investigator yourself, and you can survive the vacuum of space,” Bruce shoots back flatly. “I’ve told you before Gotham is my priority, and this has ‘personal project’ all over it.”

“Come on, B, please,” Superman pleads, trailing Batman around the cave like an overgrown puppy. “In a few months it will have been 30 years! He’s my brother! Just let me see the research you’ve already done!”

“Who says I’ve already done research on your brother?”

Clark shoots him a look. And Bruce concedes the point with a grunt.

“I’ll need need to talk with him first,” Bruce finally concedes. “Bring him by the cave. Take the-”

“Take the tunnel entrance, I know, I know,” Clark agrees with a grin. “This doesn’t mean he’s authorized to know your secret identity. Thanks Bruce, this means a lot. I’ll ask him tomorrow about his schedule.”

Superman flies off and Batman scrubs his face with a gloved hand. After a moment he pulls up Anakin’s file on the main monitor. Bruce honestly respects and likes the man, as much as he respects and likes anyone who’s not family. He admires his sense his style, appreciates his upgrades to the batmobile, and is impressed by both this civil rights work and his additions to the scientific community.

That doesn’t mean he’s not convinced that Anakin’s brother is a bit insane. Again, he’s not judging! He dresses like a bat to scare random henchmen and beat up actual demigods! He wishes his rogues gallery was as capable of directing their ptsd-inspired delusions and staggering intellects towards such productive pursuits!

Bruce was already in quiet awe of the Kent’s ability to raise an outrageously superpowered being without blowing up a chunk of the country; their success in derailing a supervillian origin story just puts him over the edge. He stares at the three most likely profiles he’s pulled together. Christen Jones, from a negligent family, death certificate filled out suspicously sloppily at age 3. Earl Lucas, went missing at age 9, both parents dead in a violent assault. And Jake Hayden, who at age 5 disappeared along with the rest of his family in a seismic accident later linked to Luthercorp.

Anyone of them could have suffered on the streets for years and coped by establishing an elaborate fantasy world, aided by self medication, only to eventually be picked up by the Kent’s and start healing. Certainly Anakin had the intellect to create worlds in his mind. All his rogues were smart enough to create their own little realities in their heads- it doesn’t mean they were actually reachable. 

Unfortunately Anakin had a Kryptonian younger brother who was determined to actually find the space wizard knight homeworld, even as the 'Jedi’ in question had slowly moved away his reliance on the delusion as an adult. Batman really didn’t see any way bringing up his conclusions to Anakin or Clark could possibly be helpful, and so many alien allies had a ‘If you find about the Jedi please contact Kal-El of Krypton on Earth’ pamphlet that it would be excruciatingly awkward to try and discretely correct anyone.

Bruce was not looking forward to this conversation.

[appleflavoredkitkats]

same anon as before and i will say, ,, while apologist discourse mildly annoys me or whatever.. people who genuinely try to defend c!dreams actions fuckin weird me out, man. people who speculate about the reasons behind them, or make headcanons about how he ended up the way he did are completely fine in my book, but. idk. there's so little we know about dreams own POV, so to try and reason that c!dream is in the right and his actions are somehow morally just based on nothing, even tho he's canonically emotionally abused another character., Why would you do that? like genuinely can you not enjoy a character if they're not good people?????

/dsmp (all of the people mentioned here are characters)

heyo anon! i suggest reading this post about how we perceive abusers in media, because it does shed some light on why dream sympathizers like to make hc's or stories as to why dream came to be. abuse is awful, of course, but abusers don't come from nowhere— rarely do they become that way out of choice, and people like to explore that, explore why x and y happened. again, not condoning abuse, but a lot of hc's and stories about dream are deep dives into his character. some take it too far by saying dream's actions are dismissable, but most dream fans i know are pretty respectful about it. again, read the post i've linked, it WILL help.

(a lot of dream fans are also victims of manipulation/abuse themselves and make stories about dream to cope with their own problems!! lots of people who write about dream aren't weirdos or evil or anything— they CAN be nd as well, they CAN be mentally abused too, and i think a lot of people forget that.)

[slimesidian]

So since you said that 3rd Life is heightening Ren’s wolf instincts and this carries over to HC, what exactly changes?

Also does changes to like Scar being in pure vex form or Etho’s mouth shifting carry over to HC too?

Completely unrelated but my mind rejects human Skizz just because inhumans go brr (still love all of it tho!)

Aight so I’m still forming my headcanons for how Ren works, but I like to think that he’s getting more dog like senses(i.e. Ren admitting that the amount of people in Renchanting was kind of chaotic and loud and he couldn’t think goes along with dogs having sensitive ears. We also know that Ren said he could hear better after getting the ears), and the ears are actually becoming part of him rather than just being stitched on like they were(because I still love that Bdubs canonically sewed them on). His teeth are getting sharper, his arms get hairier, he’s getting a rather larger appetite, the typical wolfman stuff. He never gets full wolf, he’s just a hybrid of sorts, but it is obvious he isn’t human anymore. 

For Scar, being on 3rd Life means he isn’t with Cub. He doesn’t have the magic balance like he does when he’s in Hermitcraft. The two of them have balanced magic, and if one of them is using more magic at the time, the other has less(this actually cues into my Demise headcanons, I like to think that Cub had more magic when he met his demise and that’s why he looked like a Vex hybrid. He isn’t a full Vex like Scar, but he does have access to their magic). This means Scar has more Vex magic than he has had in years, so it’s kind of messing with his appearance. His ears are pointier, his fingers are icey blue, his scars turn a bit more red, etc… Whenever he returns to Hermitcraft, he reverts to normal, because his body registers that he’s in the same world with Cub and balances him. This also is the reason why he is more unhinged on 3rd Life when compared to Hermitcraft.

And for Etho, his mouth tends to…. Not exist. If you were to remove his mask, he would have no mouth. When he talks, his mouth tends to show up as little holes(as seen below, it’s not exactly how I envision it but it gets the point across), but because of the mask, nobody ever sees it. His true form just has a black goopy void of a mouth, but he’s good at keeping stable enough that it won’t ever really show. On 3rd Life though? Well, he was going to try and remain calm, but then he lost his tree. He may act calm on the outside but that’s just the calm before the storm. He rarely takes his mask off in both worlds, so it’s not like anybody is ever going to see his mouth.

And on that last note. That’s valid. I just find it funny to imagine him as a human surrounded by non humans, and he is completely okay with that. He knows that Impulse isn’t human, but of course Impulse seems to not realize that fact himself(“I think I’m human” + getting offended by Cleo saying being human is out of fashion). I can totally see him as non-human though. I just find it hilarious to imagine it because imagine people speculating on what he is but he’s just...some dude with a ripped suit who happens to be close friends with the local Enderborn and a Netherborn.

I did not expect to ramble about that nearly as long as I did but I hope that suffices! I’ve been thinking about this literally since I first heard the server concept in Ren’s first episode.
