Dolos: ..Thanks, gramps.
*Dolos checks to see he have everything in his bag, taking out a small Rubix cube that has pink shades on each side. He went outside, feeling the cold air. He shivered, ‘You can do this. The cold doesn't hurt you.’ He walk past everyone—doing at a safe distance he sets the Rubix cube down*
Dolos: 🏱︎□︎⬥︎♏︎❒︎ □︎■︎. (Power On.)
*The Rubix Cube squares light up hearing Dolos voice. It then transforms into his 11-foot mech.*
Dolos: Oh it works… Now to check..—
Wolf bell is awoken by a beeping sound from a speaker and an announcement from Tille.
“We’re approaching the planet. It… might be a rough landing. Prepare yourselves.”
@nokk0
@boa35
@nightcovefox
Wolfbell gets up and finds her way to the cockpit, staring outside to see the large planet ahead.
That is home. She’s here at last.
The initial enthusiasm she had started this journey with felt lethargic and heavy inside her, but the faint flutter of hope she often clung onto to keep going, that drive to keep trying, it remained and it would be excited for the both of them.

no i am not over how one of the first things kris does of their own accord without our input is to lay down their life for this weird ipad kid they met five hours ago no i am not over "hell yeah i am here to humiliate you fucker" no i am not over "did you miss me? because i missed you!" no i am not over how much not only susie but also kris (and ralsei) genuinely care about their new adopted little cousin guy and the fact that he went from having no friends at all to 3 ride or die bffs who were willing to do what every adult in his life failed to do which is stand up for him i-
#im gonna fucking throw up lancer's relationship with all of the fun gang is literally so important to me#hes gone his whole life surrounded by people but so incredibly alone for a multitude of reasons NONE of which are his fault#every grown ass adult in that castle knew he was suffering but did NOTHING about it#so to see these teenagers (OTHER KIDS) not only take him under their wing and include him whenever possible#but also stand up and say 'NO. no you will NOT get away with that' when his shithead dad abuses him#going so far as to put their own asses on the line for him because they fucking care#and lancer loves them back!!! hes saved the fun gang's asses twice in as many chapters#the first instance being when he did something he's NEVER done before and took up hands against his dad#the affection in his dialogue when he talks about kris and susie and ralsei#calls them all funny nicknames and says that he misses them...#shaking and crying and throwing up and falling down thr stairs and astral projecting#im so so os so so normal about these characters i promise#deltarune

Right and his work menaces (Brent and Karen).
I don't remember last I mentioned it but apart from crude nicknames to people (except Chris), he also just puts them in his phone really weird (except Chris, who is literally in his phone as Chris). And I bring this up because in Right's phone, Karen is saved as "Lawful Obligation".
#my characters#oops i fell in love#can you guys tell im stressed and hyperfixating on my own fucked up ocs cause i am#also brents nickname at work and in rights phone is fuckwad#and hes like yeah if im called anything else at this point by right its weird and uncomfortable#and when it is finally approached as if paul is only in rights phone as shitty-ex (answer) now that hes an excoworker#what was he in rights phone BEFORE the transfer#and right is like annoying dickwad ... karen is like oh i see thats why you call him a dick still#thats like a nickname from his phone name#and brent has to ask why fuckwad and dickwad and right looks at him and takes a deep breathe before saying#because i like the word wad and it is very comforting bc like a wad of paper ? you can throw it away#and so if i realize i gotta get rid of attachment i wad it up#also dont tell paul that dickwad was a form of attachment or he will never shut the fuck up about it#karen and brent both swear to never mention it to paul#paul is honestly such a weird anomaly in the plot bc he doesnt directly work at the same police station#but he is CONSTANTLY a topic of gossip or annoyance or updates#hes literally karens best friend! aside from chris he was one of the few right worked with who HAD touch privileges before right banned it#hes also just genuinely well liked but no one can actually tell him or he will become insufferable#which is a crime that rick is guilty of once when he meets paul and karen introduces him#and rick is just OH i know that name! youre her best friend#and she looks so betrayed and paul looks so delighted and stunned and radiant over this fact#and rick makes up for it before the night is over which is why karen forgives him - he made paul back in his place#anyway yeah right has lots of fears and hes my bundle of anxiety and i love him and his atrocious nicknames#i think i would die if i gave someone a rude nickname even affectionately irl#also also final note on this ig#since right is a detective and not always at the station its worth pointing out brent and karen just work taking calls and#doing misc other work at their desks which are nearby so they 100% bond and its wonderful#ok i lied final note on them is#for a very long time karen has to check with right to make sure she isnt annoying brent because he doesnt emote well#and shes scared she wont know if shes annoying him please help youre like the only one who reads his moods accurately

@vulpixisananimal sifstem art jumpscare!! more specifically i got bored and decided to mess around with sif and mal's outfits.
#my art#this is how I think theyd present themselves either in person or in headspace. the slouchers <3#sifs outfit is simple; the boots i always give them (but with star laces for funsies); loose sweater; simple pants#the pants are Meant to be jeans but isat doesnt Specifically Have Jeans so. theyre just Pants.#the sweater is slightly looser bc sif doesnt seem like a Form Fitting Clothes kinda guy to me but hes Trying to be more open#on particularly good days theyll roll the sleeves up or wear a sleeveless one methinks#even if everyone Knows abt the self-harm scars its hard to Look at them.#i also associate them being more open with them not wearing an eyepatch. esp bc hes the only one of the three to go without it#for mal (or 'ami' as i like to call it) i wanted smth reminiscent of a mourning outfit bc mal du pays means homesickness#and i picked 'ami' as a nickname bc ami means friend :] at least according to my basic translator. i dont speak french <3#ami's outfit being dark is also reminiscent of the inversion thing its got going on in canon.#ik the veil is starred in the original but i think ami would want the fewest reminders of home. on account of The Issues#(actually if i can come back to sifs laces sif also has issues with reminders of it bc of the memory loss but the shoelaces are His Choice—#—which gives them a form of control over it and they can keep it subtle or undo it if he wants. which makes it easier)#anyway. i put amis hair in an updo and smoothed the hat bc i think ami wants to be Unremarkable. Unknown. so it keeps its silhouette Simple#(it still keeps the pins. theres smth comforting abt them. they shine like stars and theyre not stars and theyre not Home. but theyre You.)#and i kept the long hair i gave loop. dont ask me why its so long when the canon hair is short. maybe their hair kept growing over the loop#OH and i drew ami in a side profile bc Silhouette and also bc i think itd make an effort to keep people away from its blind spot#andddd i think thats about it? plus i actually managed to keep this one within a reasonable timeframe.#if their hair changes lengths/the proportions change between drawings. no they dont 💛 peace and love and body craft#OH AND YOU FINALLY GET TO SEE WHAT I MEAN ABT SIFS BOOTS BC THESE ARE THE BOOTS I GAVE THEM ON MY REGULAR DESIGN ARENT THEY NEAT#i did actually try to give sif a different font but nothing Works for them like the pixel font. i cant explain it.#i think 'ami' would be a nickname that mira gives it. bc. shes Fantasy French. and its a sort of 'youre more than your yearning/loss' thing#me every time i think abt sifstem: yeah they just rotate in my head. nothing major#me every time i talk abt sifstem: oh hey im almost at tag limit again#au Good what can i say

When Jon comes back to life and gains a "ghost" moniker to match with Arya, so we get the "Ghost of Harrenhal" leading in Harrenhal and the "Ghost of the North" leading in the North
#jon snow#arya stark#asoiaf#his direwolf is literally named Ghost if he doesn't get a /ghost of the wall/north/ nickname or something it's a waste imo#especially if he comes back with white hair and/or red eyes...#the more I think about it /Lady of Harrenhal Arya/ eats and while I don't think it will be her endgame I would still love to see it#Arya and Jon both stepping into roles they never thought they'd have...Arya as a ruling Lady and Jon as Lord/King of Winterfell...#not to mention in places that hold pain for both of them#plus the added layer of Lyanna's connections to Harrenhal and Arya being her literary mirror + Jon's connection/parallels with Rhaegar#ALSO Arya saying that Jon's direwolf /was a ghost/ when she meets the ghost of high heart yeah...yeah

yeah hugo Never liked being around jacques as a kid even before his mom died and before he even really knew why. always hated it when he had to hug him, wanted him to stay longer on his business trips, bristled and got angry every time he heard jacques's childhood nickname for him that he hated ("bush baby"). his mom just kinda didn't register any of this and thought everything is fine hugo is just very very clingy and the nickname is cute surely he's not actually upset over it and
#love you ivanna kisses to the sky but good GOD. making excuses for jacques like it was a full time job#to be fair jacques wasn't even really Doing anything here. he was just trying to be a normal dad but hugo wanted nothing to do with him#hugo was very scared of him and he's very sensitive :( he takes things the wrong way often :((#it was also kinda like. hugo knew jacques didn't want to do it either#jacques holding his arms out like 'come here hugo i'll be in germany for two weeks i'm leaving now'#and hugo's just half-hiding behind ivanna being gently nudged towards him (she thinks hugo's upset about him leaving)#but hugo gets the sense jacques is actually saying 'come get this over with for your mother so i can leave'#cue a very awkward quick hug before hugo runs back inside the manor#the nickname jacques did genuinely just think was cute though. that made it worse though. that meant jacques was in a /good mood/ gross#jacques with just a hint of a smile like 'good morning bush baby' and five year old hugo's like one of us should jump out of the window#this is the fall: extras

Secret Origins (Vol. 2) #13 - April 1987 - The Secret Origins of Nightwing
Oh my god five-year-old baby Dickie is so small, the panic when he fell, I wanted to lunge into the page and grab him!!
I love him boldly flinging himself into an attempt at his dad's triple spin, though - and almost managing it, though he fell short on the catch! Little daredevil ❤️ And his absolute beaming grin after John caught him, ohhhh my heart, he's so - fearless, effusive, full of grace. Lookit his lil dimples, I can't.
But also - he feels so safe and secure with his Momma and Daddy ;A; They'll always catch him when he falls. They're his safety net, even when he's flying without one.
And then they're gone 💔
#also interestingly this is one of the versions of Dick's origin where Bruce came up with the name Robin#rather than it being Mary's nickname for him#gotta say I find the Mary version so superior#look at him he's *such* a little robin#also. separately.#recap issues where one character just regurgitates their entire backstory to another are so 😭 hgkljdfklsfds. just. hella in-character lmao#poor Joe just sitting there on an alien planet listening to Dick offload his whole life story and all his problems like a champ.#what a good friend/sounding board 😂#for the record this is also part of why I give Tim some extra leeway in Secret Origins 80-Page Giant hgkjdfs#like it's handled there in a much more natural/in-character way through the back and forth of the conversation but -#he had no choice about recapping his origin to Dick again!! it was the YJ recap issue!! all the cool kids were doing it!! lmao#Dick Grayson#John Grayson#Mary Grayson#Grayson family#dcu#DC Comics panels#Cam posts#Cam reads comics

I love how this show said "okay we are going to give you a pretty guy with a six pack, but in exchange, we're going to make him the biggest romantic disaster out of all the guys we've had in his position on the show." And so balance was maintained in the world.
#random#yes this is the mystery cozy murder show#with the rarepair#anyway they really did say yeah he's over six feet and stacked#but he also can't try to flirt without shooting himself in the foot#he opens his mouth and his foot flies into it#the entire fucking department is going to go HIM??? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING US??? when the koala is like yeah that one. I want that one.#...I didn't plan to make the koala's nickname 'the koala' but it just. look at him. it fits.#ANYWAY BACK TO BREAKING DOWN OVER BUDDIE

Said this in a post, but Kross having a dogfight (the airplane kind)
AUGH i keep forgetting to answer this but you’re so so right this is the realest actually
#pilot kross……. aughhh weeping wailing#answering asks#justanidiorartist asks#jaa!!#killer would have one of those small pointed fast jets#cross would have something similar but it’d probably be more heavy or bigger or whatever and not as meant for speed#kind of fucking insane about then having air fights with each other#circling each other and shouting things the other can’t hear#killer’s like some unknown pilot cross and whatever organization he’s under is familiar with#cause he keeps flying into their territory and doing stunts right where they can see him like he’s showing off#and cross volunteers and or is voluntold to go after him cause he’s good in the air#and he and killer fight but cross has to land cause killer fucked his shit that bad#and then cross gets all pissed cause hes never had that happen to him in a fight so he has this personal grudge against killer#and wants to beat him#so every time killer comes back cross immediately says he’ll handle him and goes after him himself#and this keeps happening over and over to the point it’s like. a Thing.#and they both don’t know anything about each other but they keep coming back to each other again and again#and there’s probably jokes among cross’s other crew mates (or whatever they are idk how. that works)#that he has a thing for that mystery pilot#and they probably have some kinda nickname for killer like. hawk or jackdaw or something. y’know it’s gotta be a bird#ANYWAY sorry i’m insane i think#is that anything

vanity ; as “i’m watching my shows” non-snitchin’ witness / too pretty for this
snickers ; as accident-prone troublemaker crybaby / jealous he’s not the baby
ariel ; as perpetually sick-of-this-shit scandalized younger sibling / good sport
hunny ; as not the mess but has something to say about it / lowkey accomplice
mamma neptune ; as rough-edged at work, soft toward the children / the glue

uso-chan....... uso-san....... uso-swan.........
<- reminded of old sanuso fics they used to read and getting nostalgic
#that shit was always so cuteeee#& i didnt think about it back then but i wonder what an outsider would think of snooj calling for his bf like that#bc if you don't realize it's a name doesn't it translate to 'cute liar/Miss or Mr liar'?#oh wait no that might be usotsuki-chan instead oops#welp something to figure out when i finally take jp lessons proper#hmm. thinking thoughts.#i do miss those old fics tho. with snooj doting over his bf like one of the girls. it was so very cute#a 'what if snooj got past all his shit for his bf/after dating his bf' type of thing. which is rly nice qwq my boy needs the love#avoiding any tags bc this is just me musing aloud#considering: diff names for diff situations#not just when he puts -san instead of -chan but also times when he drops the nicknames or uses North (French) nicknames instead#that type of thing#hrmmm#would also be funny to make snooj have my fucking issue where it's like#'i want to say this thing in language A. i think about it in language B (native language). and then manage to say it in language C instead#a language which the person im speaking to doesnt know and also they are looking at me wholly confused now'#yeah that's probably gonna be in a fic at some point lmfao#anywayyyy#nemotime#<- i suppose

Gon is burning toast when he comes down and flings himself into Gon’s chest.
Gon catches him, his arm around his waist and his eyebrows furrowed as his toast pops out, and he can smell the smoke.
“Hey, princess, what’s wrong?”
He can’t help but coo.
Killua is so precious and cute.
Killua’s tail swooshes back and forth, a cute pink bow near the bottom, matching the pink bows pinned in his hair near his ears.

2 am fic! Oh look, Reboot!Kev pre-show! Featuring Kev being trans and his dad being... better than he could have been.
Warnings for shit parenting, transphobia, homophobia, misgendering, that sorta jazz. Kevin's dad's an asshole, people are assholes, Kevin deserves better.
~~
“Eden’s been insisting on being called ‘Kevin’ for the past few weeks now.”
“Okay, and?”
“She’s been ignoring teachers when her name is called.”
“Does she answer to Kevin?”
“Yes-”
“Then there you go, problem solved.”
“She’s also been getting into fights with other children for using her name and treating her as a girl.”
“They’re gonna wanna stop doing that then.”
“Mr Levin, I don’t think you understand-”
“I understand you’ve got so much free time rather than just calling my brat by a new name you gotta drag me out of work for a whole-ass meeting. Gotta whine to me about my kid being mean instead of telling these other parents theirs are fucking morons picking fights.”
“Eden-”
“You said yourself, kid’s made it clear how he’s gonna be called, this point it’s on those other brats for pushing their luck.”
“Mr Levin, we can’t allow any student to just run roughshod over the rest of the school.”
“Well I don’t know what to tell you then, ‘cause I’m not telling my kid to kiss your ass just ‘cause you fuckers are too lazy to do your damn jobs. Now, if you don’t mind, some of us have shit to do.”
“Alright then. You should know Eden is suspended for the five days.”
“…” “…Kevin is suspended for the next five days. She won’t be allowed back in the school for that period.”
“Of-fucking-course not…”
~~
“And don’t you think this is some sorta vacation, I expect the house to be damn spotless if you’re gonna be home all day!”
Clutching the strap of his backpack like a lifeline, Kevin slipped out of the car, the slamming of the driver’s door shooting up his spine. He said nothing, careful not to fall too far behind as he shut his door and followed his grumbling father up the front steps. There were plenty of ways to guarantee a bad day would get worse, and a top one was him having to come in and talk to the principal. To the point Kevin preferred to just get detention- nobody expected meetings over detentions, and it meant he didn’t have to go home for another hour or more. But then, that was also assuming it was the normal reasons his dad got called in. He was dirty, he was getting into fights, he used too many bad words or words he knew weren’t bad but that got the grown-ups all antsy anyway.
Kevin knew perfectly well this hadn’t been one of the normal reasons. Some part of him had known it was coming ever since he’d taken those scissors to his hair. Since he’d gone to up Mr. Dilgard in homeroom and told him his name. Since Tina had called him a lesbian like she was calling him a worm and nearly lost a tooth. In all truth he’d been hoping that it all would just, never come up, that his dad would just completely miss the change.
His last birthday had included a new sweater that’d been at least three sizes too small and also Blue’s Clues themed- there’d been decent odds.
And instead there he was, shutting the door behind him, eyes on the floor as he turned inside. Catching sight of his dad’s worn work boots planted firmly in the middle of the entryway, gaze climbing up his jeans, passed the crossed arms to the cold, unimpressed frown on his face. Kevin could hear his heartbeat going too fast, his gut knotting, something lodging itself in his throat. It was always hard to tell just what was going to get thrown his way, from a half-hearted compliment to a cutting dismissal, waved off as not worth the time or insulted as a waste of it. The uncertainty hurt worse than usual.
“So, a boy, huh?” Cornered, he shoved the fear trying to claw up his windpipe as far down as he could. Drew himself up as large as possible, shoulders back, meeting his dad’s eyes. Clenched his teeth till they ached as he forced himself not to blink, not to waver. A silent dare even as something awful wrapped around his spine.
(He’d listened to all the horror stories, curled up under his covers at night. He’d still chopped off his 'pretty' hair until the word stopped ringing in his head.)
(He’d read all about the pros of sitting in the closet until you were far away from your family. He’d still thrilled at the feel of his name on his lips as he told all his teachers.)
(He’d never been made to feel or be by halves. Pretending to be somebody else damn well might have killed him.)
He wasn’t going to pretend to be sorry.
His dad huffed a breath of air through his nose.
“Well, at least you’ve got some balls on you,” he said. Some amount of weight fell off Kevin’s shoulders, he could almost hear it crashing to the floor. Still, he kept tight as a support cable as his dad’s arms dropped, the man turned and headed deeper into the house. He probably wasn’t going to get thrown out, or sent to some sort of asylum or something...
(Mr Levin didn’t do things by halves either, if he’d been angry there’d have been no question of it…)
“You wanna be a man then I expect you to act like it, no more crying, no more of that girly shit-”
It could have gone much worse.
#fanfic#i think this may also be the first time i've posted something including kevin's deadname#like i've put out his childhood nickname before but not the actual deadname#at least partially inspired by a fic i read a while back involving trans!kev in the reboot#(which of course as a trans!kev supporter i had to read)#(also it was a very good albedo fic if i find it again i'll recommend)#but it had this whole background moment touching on kevin's dad having been at least not *un*supportive#and having imparted toxic masculinity in his son in an attempt to teach him how to be a man#as men sometimes do with their sons#and well#mr levin may be an emotionally and verbally abusive and neglectful drunk but damnit his kid says he's a boy named kevin and so it is so#if just to spite the school#if there's anything off i plead being a trans adult still in the closet rather than a trans elementary schooler who is out and proud
