#BUT YEAH. one thing i like that the anime does (and something that stay's permanent to Zarbons design) is making his arm warmers pink

[skeletalheartattack]

hi, i've been readin dragon ball for the first time these past few weeks and just finished the part where they're on planet namek. I Understand What You See In Him.

he's fucking something right??? ohhh straight up, you should see (and hear) him in the anime as well if you think you have the full picture. i've been absolutely obsessed forever

[idakyrie]

(This is part of an AU and a LOT OF TEXT asdfg) WHAT IF.... That weird deformed shape of Fake Peppino (AKA Bruno) is actually that way because of a brain problem (known as TBI)? That would explain that peculiar way of behaving (Silly? Goofy? Childish? Doesn't think straight? Doesn't know what he's doing? Almost 0 common sense, that almost permanent expression on his face, that strange way of moving... He is doing his best to stay on his feet and not melt completely (even if it shows a bit), he can barely speak coherently, among many things (WE MUST PROTECT HIM).

I'd like to think that the brain is the only organ he has, because the rest is just... Mmh, slime? amalgam? xD, it could be a HUMAN brain that Pizzahead (his creator) got (I like to think he is actually someone insane in a bad way and too different when it comes to his lab, just pretending to smile, hints of psychopath), that brain belonged to another chef, here I clarify about getting 2 adns: Peppino and Bruno (this last I mean the one from the abandoned pizzeria and yes, he is dead, where the hell Pizzahead was going to get that brain from? Actually dead for trusting a humanoid pizza)

So Fake Peppino has 2 adns? Yeah, that makes sense... Although Peppino and him don't look quite the same (Although Pizzahead's goal was that, to be the perfect impersonator), except for the clothes BUT here comes my favorite part, his stable form. 

Actually, his brain problem can be treated, he would still have 2 forms: stable and unstable, this unstable form is the one we all know, it would be present whenever he feels threatened, in danger or any other negative emotion (although he can take any form whenever he wants and be a mix of both forms).

Some history: Bruno is the first "clone" to be created, it went well, everything was perfect and one more minion... UNTIL... Pizzahead has a complicated, abusive, stupid, manipulative and ignorant attitude, basically he never treated him well, it started with scolding and even abuse (And yup! it was Pizzahead himself who caused him great injury) Why? He is a demanding and perfectionist guy, the clone had to come out EQUAL to Peppino (the irony is that he hates him and only does it to fuck up his life, to be able to replace him with some of the SO MANY clones out there) at the time he thought it was a GOOD IDEA to mix both adns and come out the same as the original, I repeat that this guy is an idiot?

Something funny is that after that he made other prototypes of clones (Classified as second generation idk) but these... None came out well, they are aberrations and can be found in a frozen chamber, he doesn't want to relive that moment and kept trying until he finally succeeded, the famous Peppino clones that can be found everywhere in the lab, inferior versions, weaker and more animal behavior than the first "clone".

Here comes another problem, Pizzahead paid more attention and was nicer to those clones, making Bruno jealous and annoyed, he never received a good treatment from him (Still he was loyal) and he had to fix and clean up all the atrocities the clones did, that means ALL the time, he could not defend himself and lived in silence, developing a great hatred towards them, precisely his behavior changes drastically to the most aggressive, just hearing a "croak" makes him angry (MODO BERSEK GOES BRR)

Many years enduring physical and emotional pain until he ends up in what? In an abandoned pizza restaurant? Just him being abandoned being very bad in all aspects? Completely alone for years, the only contact he had with others were those clones that invaded his "new home" (explaining why there are so many peppino corpses in that pizzeria).

(that girl in the image is an oc of mine hshs)

Bruno still has that silly and innocent personality, sensitive but at the same time disturbing if something bothers him. Paternal sense, playful and a big fan of Peppino, sometimes he annoys him by imitating him HAHA. Does he keep that frog behavior? YES! It's not as obvious as the clones because he knows how to control it. 

At the beginning he doesn't like to be touched, after all the problems he went through he doesn't even know if there are good people in this world, so gaining Bruno's trust is a bit complicated but if you talk nice to him (as you would do with your pet XD) the interaction will be effective. 

Does he have traumas? Besides he doesn't want to see Pizzahead and the clones again, or there will be a massacre, it's the first time someone is nice to him, he's afraid of abandonment and losing the little progress he has made... AND NEVER EVER SEE OR HEAR ANYTHING RELATED TO ANY LABORATORY AGAIN, his life was hell there, anything related either scares or angers him.

If you have any questions, you can ask and also, sorry if there are errors in my English, it is not my native language, I hope you can understand ;w;

Random (and somewhat silly) Leon Kennedy headcannons

* Leon is a sleepwalker. I have no justification for it other than I think it’d be funny

* Ironically he’s also a VERY light sleeper

* And to add insult to injury, he snores like a freight train.

* Leon is Transgender. Trust me guys he told me himself

* Also got that ADHD Autism combo. Again just trust me you guys he said so himself-

* Bisexual disaster. Probably leans towards men but every gender gives him Gay Panic

* Luis and Ada were his Bi Awakening.

* ((And probably Wesker too. I mean C’mon just look at the guy))

* And just like every Bisexual he CANNOT sit in chairs normally to save his life. If he even bothers to sit on one at all ((Kinda going off the second headcannon; he also sleeps in the WEIRDEST positions humanly possible))

* Leon has permanent Bad Posture. Both from when he used to wear a binder (Transmasc Tingz !!) and from old age

* He hams up his “”old age”” a LOT just to annoy Chris and Claire

* “Ooooooughhh you guys I can feel my bones turning to dust-“ “Shut UP LEON I’m NOT CARRYING YOU”

* Leon also wore a binder for FAR too long. Like he was fighting zombies and doing backflips all while his ribs were screaming in pain

* “Leon when did you last take off your binder” “why do YOU wanna know huh Chris 🤨” “TAKE IT OFF”

* ((Dw guys he practiced safe binding and got Top Surgery. Eventually))

* Leon dyes his hair blonde. You know I’m right

* It’s also like,, surprisingly soft??? He probably takes very good care of it and uses expensive products (probably the only expensive thing he owns)

* He also purposefully cuts it that way. In fact I recon he cuts it himself

* Much more competent people (Jill, Claire, Rebecca) have offered to cut it for him but he’s always refused

* Its one of the few things that reminds him of when he was still a Rookie cop that isn’t also a traumatic memory

* He’s got some PTSD just don’t worry about it ok

* Leon is N O T good at opening up. Like at all. But when somebody DOES manage to crack him he cries s o easily and he will cry for literal hours

* Chris and Claire are the only two people who’ve ever actually managed to successfully get him to open up to that point though

* He also probably sleeps better when he’s with somebody. But he’d never admit that

* Leon’s love language is probably a mix of Words Of Affirmation and Acts Of Service. He’d love it if for once he could come home to somebody having done the little chores for him

* He’s also probably a M A S S I V E sucker for any kind of physical touch. Again, won’t admit it, but he’s a big cuddler.

* Somebody please please please play with this man’s hair he will fall asleep in your lap in seconds

* Now this may be my own Autism special interest shining through but I LOVE the idea of Leon being a massive Pokémon fan

* His favourite games are Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald. Idk man he SEEMS like a Hoenn boy y’know

* His first starter was Torchic and Blaiziken remains as his all-time favourite Pokémon (he’s absolutely correct Torchic is the best Hoenn starter Fight Me)

* Probably still has his Gameboy from when he was a kid

* Leon’s also into retro anime. He likes to get Chris, Jill, Claire and Rebecca over just to show them his old childhood favourite shows like Astroboy or Sailor moon

* Will pause the DVD every 5 seconds to point something out or ramble on about something for 10 minutes

* Oh yeah he also absolutely keeps a DVD player in his home

* He’s a big sucker for old movies, especially old Queer movies but he’s also into classics like Back To The Future, Star Wars etc

*Probably was a big Star Wars kid

*((His favourite movie of all time is Legally Blonde but he will NEVER say that out loud))

* Leon’s always out of the country on some government mission so his house is probably pretty barren. He probably just stays with Chris or Claire after missions anyways

* Leon also still probably keeps in touch with Sherry and Ashley. He definitely went to their respective Graduations to support them at least

* He likes to collect little trinkets from his missions. Rocks, lighters, photos etc

* Other people have put this on their Headcannon lists too but I also agree that Leon is a MASSIVE Foodie

* The way to his heart is through a really good breakfast

* He’s also got a massive Sweet Tooth. Again, courtesy of other Headcannon lists

* He’s got low blood sugar so it probably evens out

* ALWAYS coming home from missions exhausted. In fact he’s exhausted on the plane. On the car ride there. DURING the mission. He’s an eepy little guy

* His T-Shots also make him Very Hungry All The Time. He thought it’d even out after a year of being on Testosterone but over a decade later and he still eats like a teenage boy

* ((It’s ok though cuz Chris always has his fridge stocked full. It might just be for Leon who knows))

* Leon’s not really either a Cat or a Dog guy. He likes both equally and would definitely have one of the other if it weren’t for his work

* He also prefers warm weather :))

* He likes to go swimming with his friends whenever he gets the opportunity

* Everyone makes fun of Chris for his Hawaiian shirts but Leon ABSOLUTELY has way too many as well

* Wears socks and jandals. I’m from Aotearoa NZ I’m allowed to say that ok

*BIG Mitski & Lana Del Rey fan

*I also imagine he probably likes older music like Madonna or Bowie or Blondie

* He’s not very good at it but he likes to paint his nails

* Or he just lets Rebecca or Claire do it for him

* If he goes a long time without cutting his hair either he’ll also put it up in a lil ponytail :)

* He’s got a big ol toothy, lop-sides grin.

* I recon he also involuntarily bites his tongue when he’s genuinely smiling too

* I said before he keeps trinkets and stuff from his missions but he absolutely keeps more personal mementos too. For example;

* He bought himself an old Spanish version of Don Quixote for Luis

* He keeps his old cop uniform in his closet

* He stole Chris’ shades and never returned them

* Still has one of Adas missing rings, etc etc etc

* Similarly to physical objects, Leon also picks up on the habits of people he’s met from his missions

* He always double-checks the barrel of his gun after he’s seen Chris do it so many times

* Holds his knife in his left hand after Krauser

* Very rarely smokes on occasion to remember Luis

* Picked up more Advanced First-Aid after Rebecca ((she also insisted it would be helpful))

* I could go on forever

* Leon can’t imagine ever actually being able to settle down and retire because of his work, but if he could, he would love to be a Father :))

* One last silly one cuz this list has gotten surprisingly serious; Leon unironically references Vines All The Time. It will drive everyone around him insane

Top Ten Anime Betrayals I Guess

[ Trigger Warning -  Intentional Poisoning via food/drink. Reader Discretion Advised. ]

Lucifer: Mmm... Where are you going?

Annelie flinches as Lucifer rolls over in bed to catch her with half her body out of bed.

Annelie: ...water?

Lucifer: You're not a good liar, Annelie. Why are you being so sneaky?

Annelie: Well... it's just, I think you'll follow me if you know where I'm going, so...

Lucifer: Is there a reason I can't follow you?

Lucifer is wide-awake now, sitting up and rubbing his face.

Annelie: Because Barbatos said---

Lucifer: Barbatos?

Lucifer swings his legs out of bed to sit next to Annelie.

Lucifer: Why would he tell you to go anywhere without me? Annelie, that's not a good sign. He knows you get anxious when I'm not somewhere I can readily get to you.

Annelie: ...you're right, but... I don't know, I just thought he had a good reason. Like maybe he'd say something private about you or he'd confide in me about Diavolo...

Lucifer: Look. I know you're not on his hitlist anymore, but that doesn't mean you can let your guard down. He's a man, Annelie, and he's a very closed-off man at that. I don't care whether he wants to hit on you or tell you his darkest secret. You're not going by yourself. End of discussion.

If you were anyone else...

Annelie lets out a defeated sigh, smiling a little to herself.

Annelie: Okay, fine. But you stay concealed and quiet. Only pop your head out if I call for you.

Lucifer: Fine. I don't like it, but fine.

[ timeskip ]

Annelie walks into the darkened halls of the castle with ease, searching for Barbatos. She passes Diavolo's room, and she chuckles a little as she sees the prince sleeping soundly. Eventually, she catches the sight of Barbatos carrying a lit candelabra, making his face look gaunt.

Barbatos: There you are.

Barbatos smiles softly.

Barbatos: Follow me; I'd prefer to speak over tea.

Annelie: Yeah, sure...

Annelie starts walking behind the butler.

Annelie: Can you give me a hint about what you want to talk about with me exactly? You have to know that you're making me pretty anxious right now. You don't have a very good track record.

Barbatos: Haha. No, I don't.

Annelie: ...

Barbatos: ...

Annelie: ........

Barbatos: ...........

Annelie: Barb? Isn't this your room? You're really scaring me now.

Barbatos: I apologize for my reticence. I did not desire to make you anxious, although what I have to tell you may be anxiety-inducing.

Barbatos pours a cup of tea for Annelie and himself, and the sweet aroma of chamomile reaches Annelie's nose. He gestures for her to sit, taking a sip of tea.

Annelie: ...okay...?

Barbatos: It has become clear to me that you are widely loved by everyone in your circle. Unfortunately, that love is of the romantic variety which cannot be satiated when you have become so tightly bonded to Lucifer.

Annelie: Is... Is this a lecture?

Barbatos: No, not at all. It's... more of a personal musing, I'm afraid. Rather, it is a lament on my part. I have come to realize that I am just as fond of you as the young master or the other members of the student council.

Annelie: I guess... yeah, that's pretty surprising.

Annelie takes a sip of her tea.

Annelie: But... why did you need to call me all the way to the castle for that?

Hm? Do I... hear Lucifer shouting?

Barbatos: That has to do with the other thing I needed to inform you of.

Although there was no change in Barbatos' expression, a tear slipped free of one eye.

Huh? Why does he... look... blurry...?

Barbatos: Annelie, your curse has spread and permanently taken root. Solomon's vaccine is effective only at treating surface-level symptoms. Of the sparing records I was able to find on Queen Succubi... we are in a critical state.

Annelie collapses to the floor, and Barbatos catches her, laying her down gently.

Barbatos: ...so... for the sake of the prince's life, I can't let you live.

I am sorry, Annelie.... truly.

GOODMORNING ITS TRIVA TIIIIME

EPISODE 29 TRIVIA:

- they actually rerecorded this episode. bizly wanted dakotas lesson to be strategy so ORIGINALLY they were fucking. playing chess. for two hours. according to charlie "they had chess dot com open. I don't know where condi was but I was physically prone on the other side of my room like hiding behind something" SO THEY HATED IT. AND THEN RERECORDED IT AND ENDED UP WITH THIS.

- DAKOTA IS OFFICIALLY 18. HAPPY FUCKING BIRTHDAY. really funny that this happens in the hyperbolic time chamber where time in the real world doesn't actually move.

- THERES ART FOR THE BOULDER THING !!!! ITS AWESOME I LOVE THEM

- grizzly: "in the beginning were you guys told to tell me that you were quitting the Prime defenders?"

condi: "no, not at all. that just came out naturally I think"

charlie: "I was so sad to see how heartbroken dakota got at that"

EXPLANATIONS:

condi: "I mean vyncent doesn't really... get it. a lot of hardship has come from being the prime defenders I don't think he sees it as worth all that. dont worry i dont think this is a permanent state of mind for vyncent, hes a malleable little boy, but its where hes at right now. itll change with time but right now hes a little jaded"

charlie: "williams whole plan was, now that he's basically wisp-free and given a new lease on life (< side note. phrase that causes me harm specifically) his plan was to find a way to return this smoke soul and help save ashe and then after that.. who knows"

- dakota ended that scene with "I never wanted to do it alone" and that's what gave him the idea to have them help him with the boulder. he didn't want to do it alone

- the only reason william is still here at all is because of dakota and vyncent. if they weren't here he would've been gone ages ago

- YIPPEE. YOU GET TO SEE JASON ORIGAMI FINALLY. 3/3 OF THE PRIME FORCE COLLECTED. HI JASON <3

- THEY KEEP QUOTING ANGEL WITH A SHOTGUN IN REFERRNCE TO WILLIAM. DO THEY WANT ME DEAD.

- chaos beano :]

- cue anime talk for like 10 minutes. prime defenders the weeb podcast ever <3

- OK AWESOME. BIZLY TALKING ABOUT THE CHAOS DEMON: "the way it kinda works is like... the chaos demon lost all sense of personality. yknow it was a soul at one point, but the longer you're in a place like where he was, you just lose what makes you you. imagine you're in a place where people are screaming all the time and you don't even know if the screams are coming out of your own mouth and it's just eternal nothing and everything (< horrifying!). and then when he latched onto you, dakota, it became like feeding off of your negative emotions"

- "What is dakotas worst fear personified? Who is dakota afraid of the most?"

grizzly DOES NOT ANSWER THIS >:| however he does say "it was a really good choice to show him the fall right away. had he not turned into le frog I think I would've played dakota a lot more serious. but because it went from the fall to doug to le frog *then* to ashe, I think it just pissed him off more than it scared him"

- "people try to scare us by looking like ashe a lot"

"okay, no, its only been TWO people and one of them IS ASHE."

- charlie: "yeah I was nervous about that encounter considering I looked at my sheet and all I have is a chainsaw and a shotgun in the middle of an active volcano"

- charlie slime has put together a william playlist it's it's my life mission to find it now. I found the ashe playlist I can do this. I need to judge his music taste.

- theyre talking about jason dying in one of the big darkstar battles and everything and grizzly goes "wow it's crazy how dakota was there and saw all of that"

HELP THAT'S SO FUNNY. frankly i would love to see the two hour chess hell session that's so funny to me oh my god. ALSO DAKOTA 18 WHOOOO he can get shot now!!! great!!

literally took so much psychic damage over the quitting the prime defenders talk. head in hands. im so ill over them... oh boy can't wait to see william stay wisp free and enjoy his new lease on life and be a normal uneventful teenager again !! im sure thats what the next few episodes are about!! ^__^;;

but mac he's literally an angel with a shotgun fighting til the wars done!! he wants to live not just survive!!!

prime defenders weeb podcast of all time... were they talking about one piece. thats my guess. one piece & dragon ball. also the more they talk about chaos demons the worse it is!!! fucked up!!! especially with the new knowledge from the oneshot etc! can't wait for someone to get tossed in there!!

all he has is a chainsaw and a shotgun in the middle of an active volcano.... i love u william wisp. god. also PLAYLIST... good luck finding it....

[thisiswhereikeepdcthings]

Dick was trapped by fairy hunters after his parents were killed for their wings. Fairy wings are an underground business like the dark web it's very illegal because well murder. Detective Gordon was actually the one who found the Dick in a sting operation. They originally were going to send it into foster care but Bruce decided to take him in.

One day Alfred Bruce and Dick were having a picnic a little ways away from their home. They notice something trying to grab food when they turn their backs. But it is the forest so they just chalk it up to wild animals. They keep coming back to the spot every now and then and stuff keeps going missing and dick being a child comes up with conspiracy theories. I mean it's the same thing every time, so one day he decides to hide in the bushes and see if he can catch whatever is stealing their food. Instead of some wild animal it's Jason and he ends up grabbing Dick to take along with him. Of course Alfred and Bruce go after him and find a cave with all the missing food. Seeing as how Jason is a child they decide that they can't really leave him out here so they take him with them.

And Jason does actually die, have you ever heard of a forest burning down becoming back better? Yeah well that's kind of the idea of Jason's native people. Once it gets older he starts becoming more interested in fire, specifically burning himself with it. Alfred being as knowledgeable as he is tells him what's going on and what Jason is trying to do. They don't want that to happen even if they realize it's probably necessary so they try to keep him away from fire for as long as they can. Though one stormy night Jason ends up getting at the house without anyone noticing. By the time they do a lightning bull has already struck him down The only thing you can hear says agonizing screams his ash is mold into the ground before they can even do anything. So trauma yay!

Tim doesn't get adopted immediately at first he just kind of like a neighborhood kid. He always says that his parents are busy and sometimes forget about him so he likes to hang out with Dick. Soon enough they realize that he's basically staying over at their house almost all the time. He even kind of has an honorary room of sorts, eventually he admits that when he said his parents forget about him sometimes he means all the time. So much so that they forgot to take him with them when they were moving away. Of course everyone realizes that's not exactly true but they don't say anything and decide that Tim's room is permanent.

Cass was seen lurking around the mansion. (Which is kind of like in the countryside but more forestry) at first it's hard to tell what exactly it is, until Tim tells them a story. The reason he started hanging out with Dick is because of something that happened with him and Cass they used to be friends. One day she brought him deep into the forest and well she attacked him she's a Wendigo so she's kind of cannibalistic. Eventually she came to her senses before she did any bad damage to Tim but well Bridges were already burned. So soon enough they all believe that she's coming back to finish what she started. Truth is she just wants to apologize for how things ended up that she really didn't mean to and that she hadn't eaten in a long time and she just couldn't help herself. Under the supervision of dick Cass takes Tim to the place that she goes meant to show them it's a beautiful cave with a gorgeous waterfall. It takes some time before Tim fully trusts being around her alone but it happens eventually.

Meanwhile somewhere far away, Jason ashes have kinda flown through the wind before landing in someones backyard. That someone is Talia Al ghul, Jason believes that she is his new mom. The reason for this is because he sees Bruce kissing her so braces his dad so that must mean she is his mom right? Well by the time he gets his body to fully form back Bruce has gone back home from his business trip. Leaving a pregnant Talia, no she doesn't quite know it yet. While going and plucking some flowers she ends up pulling something that is actually growing from Jason's head. She's confused as she believes that a creature like him she didn't really be here. At first she is thinking of sending him off to an orphanage or something along those lines but well she bonds with him obviously. However Jason's body hasn't fully formed mainly his vocal cords, so he can't really communicate why he is comfortable with Talia. She just thinks that Jason has grown to like her. And Jason assumes that Bruce is just on some business trip with Dick and Alfred and that he'll be back. He doesn't really remember anything from the night of his death.

Damian is soon born nice and healthy and considering he has wings starting to portrude from his back she knows who the father is. So she grabs Jason and Damien and goes to find Bruce. She knows that there's someone in the forestry secluded area that is Gotham. Jason whose memory is coming back and fuzzy bits is perfectly fine with this. Soon enough they meet Bruce Talia introduces him to Damien and Jason reunites with the rest of the family and welcomes the new additions.

Jason's relationship with the family is actually pretty fine as he has no bad blood with them. He wanted to kill himself so he doesn't really blame anyone for his death so he's a lot friendlier and has a better relationship with Bruce and Tim, even if he teases him a bit about replacing him.

Duke is found in and a similar way like Dick. An underground auction that was found out by commissioner Gordon. Honey finds Duke Gordon jokingly suggest that Bruce adopts him because he has so many kids and Bruce calls his bluff. So now that they have Duke!

Oh and Tim meets Stephanie a couple years before Jason comes back. He was just kind of hanging on the field and well there she was! And that's kind of the gist of the AU there's not much of a story after this. It's kind of one of those AUs that's just one shot material

Also sorry if they're a typos I typed most of this with speech text.

Sounds fun!

[kennys-parka-jacket]

Kenny for that ask game! And all of the questions, or how ever many you feel like answering.

This took me, like, an hour and a hslf to type.

1. Why do you like or dislike this character?

On surface level he's really cute and silly. Then you realize he's perverse and swears like a sailor. Then you learn he's a loyal friend, good at emotional support, and will do anything for the people he loves.

He's also pretty versatile. He can be a beautiful princess, a batman-esque vigilante, an eccentric mad scientist, a whitetrash redneck, a talented opera singer, a skilled musician, etc. He can do anything!! (Except sew and cook apparently XD)

2. Favorite canon thing about this character?

How he broke the cycle of abuse that's been going on for generations in his family. Also, despite arguably having the worst home life, he never let himself become villian-like like some other characters in this series.

3. Least favorite canon thing about this character?

His tendency to be ignored by the writers. From being 'permanently' killed off to being reduced to a background character for a few seasons to just kinda being forgotten about halfway through some episodes.

4. If you could put this character in any other media, be it a book, a movie, anything, what would you put them in?

Sanrio, any animated run. I just think it'd be funny if this little orange nugget was running around the hello kitty universe being his usual R-rated self and every line of dialogue slipping past the censors.

5. What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?

Promotion Man by Merzbow. Same reason as All Star, despite the pain of existence he stays silly!! But in a much more noisy and industrial kinda way. Also I think Kenny would listen to harsh noise. (Tumblr wont let me link it :( )

6. What's something you have in common with this character?

Already answered.

7. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you like?

In fan art he's often smiling when no one else is. Not in a way that feels like his happiness comes at the expense of others, but moreso he just has a different mindset. Or perhaps he's just high among his sober friends; which, given how he acts in canon sometimes, might be possible.

8. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?

When fans portray him as a casual sexual predator and it gets played off as just him being a flirt. The second half of that is the important part.

9. Could you be roommates with this character?

That's a big fat NOPE lol. He's messy as hell, cant cook, and, with his luck, he'd probably die every other week. Sorry, but there's no way no how it would ever happen.

10. Could you be best friends with this character?

Probably, yeah. Kenny gets along with pretty much everyone and I get along with most people too. I see no reason why we couldn't be friends.

11. Would you date this character?

He's 10 XD. But if you mean when he's around my age, still likely no. Reasons I'd rather not get into.

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

Some items he never leaves home without: a loaded handgun, drugs of some kind, 20+ dollars in loose change, the same phone that he's been using for the past five years.

13. What's an emoji, an emoticon and/or any symbol that reminds you of this character or you think the character would use a lot?

🧡😸🍊 reminds me of him

🌮😏🤘 IIRC canonically those are his most used emojis

14. Assign a fashion aesthetic to this character.

You know those shirts they sell at Spencers? Yeah.

15. What's your favorite ship for this character? (Doesn't matter if it's canon or not.)

In no particular order:

- Kenrietta. lady who's goth throughout x guy who's secretly goth but looks like the sunniest guy alive. They compliment each other nicely but also lend some funny contrast.

-Kammy/Kentam. The two poorest people in town, match each other's energy and craving for physical affection, are fiercely loyal to each other.

-Stenny. Sooo much angst and hurt/comfort.

16. What's your least favorite ship for this character?

Tbh never been extremely fond of that trope where his partner acts like they dislike him. But whatever, it just isnt my cup of tea.

17. What's a ship for this character you don't hate but it's not your favorite that you're fine with?

This is such an oddly specific question lol. Anyway, i enjoy him and craig, but a lot of content for them feels rather one sided. With that said, they absolutely deserve their reputation as one of the most popular ships in this fandom's history.

18. How about a relationship they have in canon with another character that you admire?

Basically the plot of season 24 is that everybody loves him even when no one likes each other. I strive to have that kind of relationship one day XD.

19. How about a relationship they have in canon that you don't like?

I dont know WHAT is going on between him and his grandpa, but something aint right.

20. Which other character is the ideal best friend for this character, the amount of screentime they share doesn't matter?

Everybody because everyone loves him.

21. If you're a fic writer and have written for this character, what's your favorite thing to do when you're writing for this character? What's something you don't like?

Already answered.

22. If you're a fic reader, what's something you like in fics when it comes to this character? Something you don't like?

Love how people write about his demise; everyone does it differently and it's epic each time.

Ngl it's pretty funny when fans write about him doing sex work sometimes. It's often comical how much he's willing to do for so little in return. Homeboy's seriously risking jailtime for a buck fifty.

23. Favorite picture of this character?

24. What other character from another fandom of yours that reminds you of them?

His muffled speech kinda reminds me of Coco from FHFIF. Also Rada from Chowder.

25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?

First impression: the cutest little tangerine in the whole wide world.

Now: I would protect you with my life. I'm gonna go buy another pair of socks with your face on it.

[carry-on-my-wayward-gays]

Your little jimmy fics helped me figure out what happened to me when I got spacey - i wasn't just spacey i was little and now they're some of my go to comfort fics. thank you.

do you have any headcanons about cg tango and little jimmy? can tango cross servers often for jimmy/does he? did he bring him lots of things during the crossover, help him?

Aksjdjdkdj aww this is probably one of the best asks I've been sent ;-; I always get super happy when my fics help ppl realize things ab themselves cause !!! Dude my silly little words help you put 2 and 2 together how cool is that!!

As for headcanons I've talked ab it a bit before, mostly in the asks of my good friend and mutual Maris aromanticwhore since shey are like the only person I get to blab to ab this /hj but I can give you some copy/pasted here! More ramblings can be found in this ask!

So Jimmy is strictly a regressor. He regresses between 2-6 but tends to stay on the older side of things. He usually goes younger if he regresses impurely. When he's little he calls Tango "papa" and is the embodiment of "i have one child who has to be touching me at all times and if he is not touching me at all times, all hell breaks loose". He doesn't talk much, preferring to communicate by chirps and trills. (if we continue w the canary hc. Honestly the animal sounds could work for whatever hybrid you hc Jimmy as if any at all) His favorite things to do when small are play w his pets and be read to :) Tho he does have a few favorite toys always laying around

Tango has those "cool uncle babysitter" vibes. On Hermitcraft he doesn't have a specific little he takes care of, he's mostly a babysitter. Jimmy is his only permanent little. He's pretty easy going, but that's bc Jimmy's an angel to care for - as are most of the littles he watches. Being a caregiver is just as stress relieving as regressing is for others. He sometimes neglects his own needs when he works so having a little need him takes him out of that headspace and grants them both time to relax :D

And as for your questions; I have a fic where Tango is brought over by Goddess!Pearl and besides that and the rift (which is canonically solidified) I can't think of a way he could cross over to Empires. So he probably can't/doesn't server hop to care for Jimmy. That and he wouldn't have a way to know seeing the difference in servers (I mean unless we use fanfic logic then yeah totally possible).

And maybe he did bring Jimmy some gifts from Hermitcraft :) Maybe a little gift from Decked Out like a stuffie of a Warden (we all know the rancher's connection to wardens) or a mini redstone music box (that definitely doesn't play wonderwall). Something practical that his little would love and use all the time :3

How do you feel about tomato sauce with chunks of tomato? I mean I don't like tomatoes to begin with, so I feel like I'm just not gonna have a good time with this.

Do people think you look like either of your parents? Does that offend you? I look very much like my mom and no it doesn't offend me at all.

Do you think it’s weird when people talk to their pets like people? No but for the people who find it weird I kind of feel sad for them.

Are you tattooed? Or does it freak you out? You are correct in that getting tattooed does freak me out.

Eaten anything delicious today? My mom's spaghetti.

What about dating someone simply because you felt too bad to say no? Nope.

Are you eating anything right now? I just had dinner, so no.

Does it drive you INSANE when people chew with their mouth open? I can move past it. There are other more irritating noises for me.

Does any food always make you sick but you love it too much to not eat it? Not sick but it makes my stomach upset -- anything with milk.

How do you feel about alcohol? It's fun to drink but everyone who it does should be responsible with how much they take and know how much they're able to handle.

Have you ever been drunk? Yes. I'm pretty low-tolerance so I am also usually the first one in a group to start feeling giddy.

Do you like orange juice with pulp? I've never had that kind.

Do you scream for ice cream? Nah I'm not really into ice cream; I'm a slow eater, so ice cream always ends up melty and soupy with me.

What was the reason you washed your hands last? I just finished washing the dishes and I didn't want my hand to smell like sponge.

🌿 how does creating make you feel? 💞 what's the most important part of a story for you? the plot, the characters, the worldbuilding, the technical stuff (grammar etc), the figurative language 💌 share something with us about an up-and-coming work (WIP) that has you excited!

what a manifold question! it's meant different things to me at different times- sometimes just catharsis (many drawings from when i was a miserable early teenager) but usually these days i find it helps me exorcise a demon. it can be either a pressure valve or a relief; i mostly find it therapeutic now, especially when writing. writing is best. ive kept my old drawings for sentiment's sake but i highly doubt id upload them anywhere, nor will i pick up drawing again anytime soon bc, like my passion for hylics, it only seems to come back when i'm extremely depressed. not gonna write it off completely but i haven't felt the need to use it in a long time. so yeah. short answer to this question is that creating is a therapeutic act to me.

ahh, i'd have to say probably characterization and imagery. one of my favorite compliments ive ever gotten came from a friend in high school reviewing my work and noting how hard i worked on the imagery. having a clear, crisp picture of who someone is, what they're doing and why is absolutely critical to me in making a story feel alive! i love to work in a good, weird motif or simile, too- is it any wonder i'm a fan of the mountain goats?

gonna be honest this is goofy as hell but i rewatched the book of life lately and developed a little fixation on it- for something that came out nearly a decade ago (a fact that feels like a punch in the gut) the animation, storyline and characterization have held up surprisingly well. it's silly but i'm trying to accept that i can be interested in whatever, whenever, and it's not inherently weird if it's not currently popular. anyway from what ive scrounged around (i missed the film's original run and thus the fandom but can appreciate it now as an adult) there was a concept early in development that never made it to the finished product regarding the characters undergoing a beastly corruption in the land of the forgotten if they stayed too long, and then i thought abt the way the owl house handles eda's curse as a permanent aspect of her character to be accepted and dealt with instead of just "fixed" 👁.... so keep an eye out for that!

thanks for asking me!

[sweet-star-cookie]

question time! how does one heal a corrupted spirit? (spoiler-free answer or not is up to you :D)

Oooh :D I've been working on a document that explains the rules and capabilities of the different magic types for this story so I can keep track of it all, so this was well timed! I'll answer both asks here again, they're closely related in topic so I can talk about both at once ^_^

Firstly, corrupted spirits don't really need to be captured in order to bring them back to the Astral Plane, though trapping or otherwise subduing them is sometimes necessary in order to get close enough to heal them in the first place.

Generally speaking, healing requires some kind of physical contact with the corrupted spirit, which is often easier said than done! The will of the spirit comes into play as well, as many will be so far gone mentally that they'll resist healing as much as they resisted their initial corruption, especially if said corruption makes them more animalistic or aggressive in nature. Even if they want to be healed, getting close enough to do it without getting hurt is half the battle! Ever tried to capture an injured wild animal by yourself? Yeah me neither.

This is part of the reason why the Chamaeleon Three are so hard to return to the Astral Plane for a while. Even though they are sapient beings that could theoretically be reasoned with, they simply don't want to return. They'd much rather stay on Earth and continue causing trouble, and they make that quite clear any time Cassie attempts to return them home. They serve as a challenge for Cassie to not only increase her mastery of her magical power, but also to find other ways to get them home.

A healer's power can supersede the will of a corrupted spirit if it is strong enough and they have enough control over their magic, or they can use a weapon to "break through" more easily. Channelling magic (of any kind, not just Light magic) through weapons or other objects is a common method of utilizing one's power, which is why the zodiac and many other constellations have them. Though it is riskier than other methods, sometimes attacking is the only way to heal a corrupted spirit, as Cassie learns rather quickly herself.

Initially, however, her sword cannot be used to heal until she learns to channel her Light magic through it, augmented by Lunaris's power granted to her through the Starglass and, by extension, the sword. The circular hole cut out of the sword is its main magical channelling point and the "sweet spot" for using its strikes in general. If something is struck with that part of the sword, the attack is at its most effective, akin to a "critical hit" perhaps.

Cassie tends to favour more non-aggressive methods of healing though, like trying to talk down a spirit that is simply lashing out out of fear instead of attacking them back right away. The healing itself is then achieved by channelling the magic through her hands and touching the spirit to heal them. While healing is possible through magic independent of one's body (like the light beams shot from Cancer's claw cannons or other ranged attacks) physical contact is still more of a sure-fire way to heal a corrupted spirit.

And as you might expect, partial corruption of a spirit is much easier to heal than full corruption, as Ophiuchus and Libra discover with spirits that have been affected by Void magic, but not to the extent that they disappear and fall to Earth yet. When Pisces is hurt by Scorpio's Void magic, for example, she didn't get fully corrupted because Ophiuchus was able to heal her before that happened.

As I'm sure you've noticed already, permanent injury such as scarring and loss of body parts (eyes, legs, etc.) is possible on the Astral Plane, but so too is the possibility of bringing them back. Well, kind of.

Smaller wounds like scratches or cuts are a lot easier to heal than more severe damage. Any healer can do this, and healing is the first thing Cassie learns to do with her Light magic. Obviously, the more severe or numerous the injuries, the harder it is to heal them completely, and how quickly and how well a wound is healed depends on the healer's amount of Light magic and their skill level with it. Elemental damage can also affect how much a spirit is hurt by it. Though it likely wouldn't put her out completely, Phoenix's fire generally wouldn't do very well against water magic, for instance.

Scars and other marks from these wounds can be healed as well with enough power, though some choose to keep them instead. Apus, for example, takes pride in her scars and missing eye, considering them to be like mementos of her previous battles.

Reattaching an entirely severed body part is a lot harder to do than healing wounds of course, but this is something Cassie (eventually) would have the power to do if she was quick enough to heal the part before it shatters or fades away completely. Notably, Libra does not have this power. Recreating lost body parts, as in creating them again from nothing but the healer's own power, would require an even greater healing ability that Libra is also not capable of (see: Ophiuchus). If she did have this power, she'd likely use it to bring back her missing leg. The questions of "Can Cassie do this too?" and "Why didn't Ophiuchus heal Libra's leg then?" have to remain unanswered for now though! Despite how much I talk, I gotta keep some of it under wraps hehe :3c

I will say that the same rules of Light and Void magic do still apply on Earth though; Unsigned spirits can still be permanently injured before, during and after being rescued, and an excess of Light or Void magic can still kill them.

When a spirit is healed on Earth, their form is overtaken (the yellow glowing magic overtakes the dark and shadowy purple magic) and erupts with a bright light. The bigger the spirit, the bigger and brighter the light, generally. After the initial flash, it starts to dissipate as the spirit's body does, and the constellation's stars and its symbol briefly appear too. The stars flicker upwards and disappear, as if to show that the stars that make up the constellation itself have been restored and returned to the sky. I've been meaning to do the FX design on this for a while so I might tweak it a bit later, but here's the current example with Vulpecula to hopefully give you a good visual reference:

With this in mind, Cassie can restore a spirit from anywhere, and she spends a lot of time with Flicker actively searching for them before they get hurt any further or cause trouble for someone else. But considering the spirits are drawn to the Starglass's energy already, they often find her first anyway!

If you're wondering about the zodiac portal, Cassie can restore a spirit on top of it, but the magic from the portal itself, despite also being Light magic, won't actually take the spirit up through it. This implies that, for some reason, the portal on Earth can only be used by Cassie to jump between the worlds. So while she can use the portal to follow after a spirit she just rescued, there's no guarantee that they'll end up in the same place together.

I think I've mentioned it before, but where the spirit ends up after being healed depends on a few factors: The strength of Cassie's magic to help the spirit break through the void and return to the surface, and where on the Astral Plane is considered a place of significance to that spirit. This can be their home, where they were last seen before disappearing, a favourite spot, etc. They can end up in other places too on occasion, but these are the most likely of them.

As is the case with Draco and many others, however, the destruction of their home may lead them to end up back in the Voidlands or in an otherwise vulnerable spot even when rescued, making them prone to returning to Earth again or being harmed further if they are not relocated or their home is restored.

[dell-delta]

Although I love the sentiment behind this post, I respectfully disagree, and I'm gonna explain why.

Before I start, yeah, I know this is post is just for fandom entertainment (no offense to the author!), but as someone who grew up around horses and who has a couple of headcanons about Arthur in these regards, I guess I just wanna explain some things to non-horsey people in this fandom that might be useful, even if just for fiction-writing purposes or literally anything else (in other words, I had a shitty day and just wanted to be a smartass so please, lemme have that, thank you <3).

We don't really know anything about Boadicea except for how deep Arthur's connection to her was, but I love the assumption that she was a menace. Some horses are, especially mares (and even more specifically, red mares, which I think I heard Boadicea was). But when you're dealing with horses on regular basis, there's no such thing as "letting them get away with stuff". This is half a ton of muscle on fragile legs coordinated by a rather small brain with no sense of object permanence (this is why horses get spooked even by stuff they have seen a bambillion of times) we're talking about. They could kill you with one wrong step (and would never realize it because of said object permanence issues).

So, when handling horses, you have to be extremely disciplinated, because those little shits will totally do stuff that'll sometimes be funny, but the exact same thing could come with a price tag the next time. You can't let horses get away with stuff, because they will try again, and again, and again, and it'll escalate, and then you'll have a horse with serious behavioral issues that'll be hard to correct. It's the same as with dogs, except like... Much bigger.

Arthur is a skilled horseman. The way he rides and communicates with his horses radiates that. He's also a very practical person to whom horse is a very much needed transport device, and a partner that he needs to be able to rely on in gunfights and other critical situations.

Relationship with a horse means much more than the game (for practical reasons, I assume) lets on. It's not just about "bonding" and trust. Trust can only matter when there's respect and boundaries.

Obviously, Arthur's horses are so well behaved mostly due to the game mechanisms, but irl, there would have to be way more effort put into that relationship. You let your horse disrespect you or anyone else once and it'll come to bite you in the ass later (maybe even literally, and trust me, it hurts as fuck). And I bet Arthur knows that, and actively reinforces firm rules to make sure the respect is there. It's what's best for the horse, too – if they don't have respect for you, they can't rely on you for guidance in situations they can't solve themselves. All horses ever want is to be safe. Your job as an owner/rider is to convince them you can keep them safe if they allow you to have the upper hand and control of the situation. Once you do that, even in the most critical/dangerous situations, the horse will choose to stand still and listen to you because they will understand you have their best interests at heart, and that they're much more likely to get to safety if they simply listen to your commands and stay within boundaries. However, that requires the horse to firstly understand they cannot disrespect said commands and boundaries. It's all connected.

Arthur needs to trust his horse with his life. Doesn't seem to me that he'd neglect this cruical part of horse training just to laugh over some bad, even if funny horse behaviour. Can a horse be bitchy and still have respect? Of course. Can they sometimes just do dumb stuff, get zoomies and randomly tear down a whole camp? Yes, they're just animals. Did something like that happen in the history of the gang? Probably. If you spend so much time around horses as those people do, you witness all kinds of crazy stuff.

Just a disclainer, not every bad thing the horse does requires a correction. Sometimes, they're bratty and grumpy because they're in a bad mood, or because they don't like something. They should be able to express negativity just as much as people – there's thin lines, of course, but it's important to recognize where said behaviour comes from, and respond accordingly. But if the horse is being a menace just for the hell of it and because they're allowed to, it's wrong.

Considering Arthur's approach to life, his line of work, and the immense amount of support and reliability he needs from his horse partner in crime, I doubt he'd let that slide. He might laugh, but he'll make it clear to her she's overstepping boundaries, and that what she has done is unacceptable. Yes, modern groundwork might still be a relatively new thing, but even in the Old West era, cowboys had their ways to ensure their horses behave. Some of them were probably kinda dubious, but based on Arthur's interactions with his horsies from the game, I choose to interpret him as a skilled and sensible "horse whisperer". But yeah, just so you know. Relationships with horses (and animals) aren't just about trust and "bonding level", and sometimes even the cute stuff horses do can have unwanted consequences.

the "no horses in camp" rule is in place because of arthur n boadicea, cause i know that horse was a menace n arthur would absolutely let his baby get away with everything, no matter how much of a mess she made

I've been watching cherry magic and reading a bunch of yaoi doujin so I thought of the idea for my own, but like I'm not gonna write it and I'm not gonna remember it past a few days from now so I thought I'd share it lmfao

so they're both about 27 and are childhood friends

the seme (lmfao) is a shorter guy with black hair and a kind of scruffy face, his name is like Kanji or Kojiro or something with a hard K sound and two syllables. He's an office worker who doesn't sleep well and has permanent bags under his eyes. The like pessimist negative kind of guy except when he's with his partner. His partner is like his light in the dark.

the uke (these terms holy shit) is a taller bigger guy, with light brown hair with a fade to blonde dye. he's got big eyes in a fun anime mc color like pink or purple. His name is like Joutarou or Junnosuke or something on the long side. and his partner definitely gives him a cute nickname. He's got a big infectious smile and is just an absolute ray of positivity. When he was younger he dreamt of being an idol and trained hard for it (hence the figure), but despite his dream being impossible now he still sings all the time and has this like Cinderella singing to animals air to him lol.

And then the twist is that the uke has fibromyalgia and is mostly wheelchair bound. So like he's fighting to be this ray of positivity when his illness has taken almost everything from him.

So then the story itself is short and fluffy mostly, because that's the kind of doujin I read lmfao like the ones with 6 or 7 chapters and light drama that resolves fast and fairly.

The pair start together before the story begins and it mostly resolves around the seme and how he takes care of his partner and like the troubles that come with having a disabled partner, but it's shaped in a really fluffy and fun way. Like he does shit like buy fluffy pillows for his wheelchair so then there's a comedy panel of this scary looking dude with eye bags buying fluffy pillows lmfao. Or like him picking his partner up from the hospital and going on a date as if they both just came from work. Both of them also support each other through rough days like having to stay late at work only to go in early the next day, or the other guy being in tons of pain that he has to miss out on doing things he wants.

The "drama" would be at the office people would talk about bringing their partners to workplaces events or whatever and it would be revealed that the office was even LGBT friendly but it wasn't wheelchair friendly so the seme still would have to go alone. He would doubt his relationship a bit and one of his bosses would make a gross comment about putting his partner in a home or something. But he would get home to his partner trying as hard as he can to help him and realize that he didn't want a "normal" partner and that his uke was perfect for him. And since this is my perfect story the guy who made the gross comment would be fired.

also there would be a flashback chapter that like starts with them meeting as kids in like elementary school. the seme would be sad and the uke would dance for him or something dumb and pass his infectious smile. then it would flash to them getting together, I'm imagining like the uke at like 17 being rejected from an idol audition and being in a ton of pain and not knowing why, and his future partner having to be the positive one for a change and cheering him back up. then he tells him he loves him. yeah

no guys I think this story is so good though, if only I was an author.

Witch/Witchcraft Masterlist

Chasing White Light (ao3) - merlypops michael/ashton, luke/calum, michael/luke M, 89k

Summary: In his fight to discover the truth about their new home, Michael must do everything in his power to stay sane… but when holding onto his fragile sanity means letting go of Ashton, Michael isn’t sure it’s worth the cost.

every little thing she does is magic (ao3) - merlypops michael/ashton E, 3k

Summary: Mike is trying to perform a ritual but Ash just wants to kiss her skin.

everything is never as it seems (when i fall asleep) (ao3) - orphan_account michael/luke T, 9k

Summary: “can you stop calling me fucking wonderbread?” he rolled his eyes, face as unamused as luke’s cat’s had sort of permanently been. “my name’s fucking michael, which you’d know by now if you could actually do a shitty spell.”

― “you’re a witch who found me as a stray cat on the streets and took me in. problem is, i was cursed to be this way, and i’m actually human. when you did a spell wrong, you managed to get me back to my human form. oops?” or, one person is cursed to be an animal until they’re taken in by a kind witch. when a spell goes awry, they’re suddenly turned human again, with a lot of explaining to do.

(or: the witch fic.)

i got lost in the dawning of spring (ao3) - mukelftv T, 2k

Summary: calum gets lost in the woods.

Incubus (ao3) - Fxcklashtonhemwin luke/calum, michael/ashton E, 16k (WIP)

Summary: In which Calum had an obsession with panties and maybe he can't stop dreaming about a boy with blue eyes.

I Put a Spell on You (ao3) - FayeHunter michael/luke T, 12k

Summary: And that’s the crux of it really. For all that Michael’s shop is supposed to be new aged and quirky, a place for people to buy dreamcatchers and statues of fairies and incense, Michael is really just a witch. Plain and simple, black cat and cauldron, casting spells and brewing potions witch (although she drives a car not a broom, thank you).

Or Michael is a witch and Luke needs a love potion

it’s all fun and games (‘till somebody falls in love) (ao3) - rocketshiptospace michael/luke T, 21k

Summary: Michael tries to see things on the positive side. Like, yeah, he has an unrequited crush on his best friend, but at least his sandwich didn’t burst out in a dramatic rendition of ‘I Can’t Help Falling In Love’ with backing vocals from his cutlery and a dance routine by his milkshake or some other weird shit.

Or, Michael is a witch. Which is fine, really. Until he goes and falls in love.

i won't hurt you (ao3) - yourinternetkid ot4 N/R, 26k

Lurking In The Back Of My Mind (ao3) - fourdrunksluts michael/luke N/R, 6k

Summary: The past six months of dating Michael have been wonderful. It’s just odd that he chose now to start insisting he’s a witch. Luke can only take so many potions and spells before he’s bound to do something drastic.

Somebody falls in love (ao3) - Talktrash ot4 M, 10k

Summary: Ashton releases Michael and drops his pants without a second thought. “Get your teeth in me, weirdo,” he commands. 

Michael drops to his knees obediently and curls his fingers in the waistband of Ashton's pale pink boxers. “Where'd you get these, loser? As your boyfriend, these pink boxers have reached an entirely new level of gay that I don't think I can handle. I'll have to sub in Calum.” 

“Shut up,” Ashton smacks the sky blue hair in front of him, hard enough that it turns the same shade of pink as his underwear.

The Catch (ao3) - allsassnoclass (brightblackholes) michael/luke T, 6k

Summary: Michael Clifford, the town witch and most eligible bachelor, announces that he'll only date the person who manages to get the key from around his cat's neck.

The Fire You Put Me Through Turned Me Into Gold (ao3) - DismantledSun michael/luke, implied calum/ashton N/R, 88k
