#But as default it’s not ship so you don’t need to worry about that haha

[relaxxattack]

hi im asking u this bc u seem to be bee duo enthusiast so

ive been calling c! beeduos relationship platonic because i thought that was what their cc’s said, and i thought they had said that they were uncomfortable with ppl shipping the characters. But ive seen a lot of posts that say their relationship is canonically romantic? and i absolutely do not want to come across as homophobic by watering down a mlm relationship to just friends because that happens so much in media so.

what is the canon state of their relationship / ur opinions on the platonic thibg

dont worry abt answering if u dont want to!! i see a lot of differing opinions and i trust yours :)

aw it’s totally fine, im flattered you asked me about this!

let me put it simply: it’s a whole mess, lol.

first im going to talk about what’s happened fandom-wide that caused differing opinions, and then i’ll explain my own opinion/interpretation. :]

(this got really fucking long im so sorry)

ranboo and tubbo initially proclaimed the relationship was romantic, specifically in argument with the wiki editors who had set it as platonic by default. (you can see this in the vod where they decide they’re canonically married— it’s very funny. chat tells them the marriage is already on the wiki, they check, tubbo is jokingly offended that it says platonic and asks if he needs to up the romance).

tubbo also makes jokes about adultry, which sort of implies the relationship is not necessarily a platonic one.

(theres definetly more in that stream alone but it’s been a long time since i watched it so i don’t remember a lot of it.)

the wiki, because of this, suffers from going back and forth on platonic and romantic, seemingly unsure where the joke ends and the canon begins, or if its canonically a joke! a mess, as you can already tell.

this gets more complicated as the marriage bit goes on: outsiders, such as phil and scott, both at one point say “platonic marriage”, which then ranboo and tubbo agree with. however, when chat asks them if they’re platonic, they say the opposite. so there is a lot of confusion there.

there’s also the difficulty of being able to tell streamers and characters apart. ranboo and tubbo both don’t like being shipped irl, and that’s their boundaries that shouldn’t be crossed. (they’re also minors, but tbh when they’re 18 in a year i will still be following their boundaries regardless of their legal age).

due to people not wanting to be accused of minor shipping, they started adding the platonic tone indicator to most of their drawings— basically a way of saying “no homo”. meanwhile, tubbo frequently on stream flirts with ranboo and makes quite a bit of nsfw comments towards him that are frankly hilarious.

this goes on for a while with nobody really sure what’s canon, but a lot of people assuming it’s probably platonic, until: the drama of the mods night. a few mods dmed all the wiki editors telling them ranboo wanted his canon character relationship officially set to platonic.

unfortunately for those mods; the very same day, a few hours later, ranboo on stream makes fun of puffy delivering him and tubbo “friendship flowers”. because, and i quote, “bruh. we’re literally married. this must be how the ancient greeks felt.”

in case you don’t know, the internet often jokes about how historians will call ancient greeks ‘very good friends’ when they are quite obviously gay. so in this context, ranboo is joking that people will call him and c!tubbo, who are married, “close friends”, when he doesn’t think they are.

basically, ranboo canonized romantic bee duo, the very same day the mods told everyone he’d wanted a platonic one.

chaos and drama immediately erupted everywhere. on tumblr, we were talking about how weird it was of his mods to do something like that without asking him first. we ALSO talked about how weird it was of them to assume that ranboo can’t make his own decisions, or assume teenagers cannot be in relationships without it being sexual. twitter did the same thing but in the opposite direction: called ranboo mods homophobic, or said they were mad ranboo felt pressured into making a romantic relationship canon ‘just so people could have mlm rep.’

i dont want to go into detail about the drama that happened that night because apparently official people follow me and i dont want to stir it up or have them come “clarify” things. im just saying what we talked about.

ranboo in typical ranboo fashion apologized quickly and seriously. he was deeply sorry for possibly offending anyone with how he’d portrayed his rp relationship with tubbo, and he also assured everyone the mod thing was just a miscommunication.

he said he would talk to tubbo and they’d decide once and for all whether it was platonic or romantic, and then announce so everyone would know.

it’s now been a few months and we've had no word from them on that development. we still have no clue.

-

now, here’s my opinion:

i want to take ranboos word for it that it was a miscommunication with his mods, but... we had it on good authority from people on the wiki team and people in the discord with the mods that (while it was happening) they were really going after the wiki admins, and also made some weird comments about it. that combined with the way ranboo seemingly had no clue (considering he canonized their romance that very same day).... it’s very. sus of the mods.

then there’s the canon we’ve got since then. although occasionally adults in the room have called it a “platonic marriage” and tubbo once (back when it first started) called it a “plankton tectonic” marriage, in roleplay it’s been... kind of not that. tubbo and ranboo make nsfw jokes about each other in character, and their characters also share a master bedroom and bed in the mansion. there's also the way c!tommy really thinks it’s a romance between them as well, and they agree with and play off that— for instance confirming that they “fell in love” when he asked, or ranboo confirming that they “make out on occasion”.

people will still put platonic on their art and posts, imo, because they’re worried about breaking ranboo and tubbo’s irl boundaries by looking like they ship them. or even just being accused of shipping real life minors. and that’s a valid fear to have.

the thing is though: c!bee duo are not cc!bee duo. they’re roleplay characters. cc!bee duo are not okay with being shipped, but they made their characters get canonically married, and call each other “husbands”. so it’s okay to write the word “husband” in your comic without adding “platonic” to it, i promise.

telling the ccs that their characters have to be platonic is... weird. it comes off as not only babying them, but also as saying teens can’t date without it being gross. which isn’t true.

(this is why seeing people overuse “platonic husband” so much bothers me. like, they ARE husbands. you can just say it. what are you trying to hide...?)

-

do i think they’re canonically romantic? ehh, its likely. it’s still okay to interpret them as platonic, because again, it’s hard to tell where jokes end and roleplay begins. like, maybe it’s jokes in the rp too, and c!bee duo are just friends. friends can and should be allowed to make jokes like that with each other! aro & ace marriages exist!

or, maybe it’s actually part of the rp, and they’re very much romantic. we don’t know!

some people say they could be a qpr (queerplatonic romance), which i could see. (a qpr is a relationship that fluctuates between, or can’t quite be sorted into, “romantic” and “platonic”. people in a qpr can do romantic things while having platonic feelings for each other). in my opinion this is a very valid interpretation as well!

-

CONCLUSION (sorry this got so long omfg):

are c!bee duo romantic?

its likely, but you can still interpret them however you like!

should i put /p on bee duo content?

ehhh? i find it annoying when it’s overused (as do others), but if you’re worried you can. its up to preference. putting it too much is weird though

should i put /p on things cc! bee duo do?

no. you’re not the one saying it so you can’t decide the tone tags for that. imagine you said something to your friend and a random stranger came up and was like “haha but that was /p right...?”

can i ship c!bee duo?

mmm. i’m not sure on this one. they are canonically married and very flirtatious, but the ccs don’t like being shipped and they’re close enough to being the ccs that actively shipping might be against boundaries.

can i treat c!bee duo as romantic?

yes. literally just don’t be weird about it. it’s not that hard! you can understand that two characters are husbands without making it weird

here’s the most important thing: boundaries. cc bee duo still haven’t told us what their preferences and canon is about this whole thing.

right now, i am assuming based on what they already show us they’re comfortable with, but! the second they give us any more info! all these opinions will change!

i am only going off what they do. i would never want to cross boundaries at all. i just wish they would make theirs a little more clear.

..... i hope that helped anon, i went way off the rails... i need to go to sleep.

[vickyvicarious]

i hope ur ok with unprompted asks abt leverage bc today i am like this :-( because someone is posting hate on the OT3 in the OT3 tags. (not as a mistake either, they refused to use the right tags) tbh i am so so excited for the revival but this modern-day-esque toxicity is what i've been worried abt the whole time.

THE POINT OF THIS ASK: they said something that is wiggling in my brain, and i figured you may have a good perspective since i know you like the OT3 and are aware of/comment on fandom/media racism. they said the OT3 is popular because of fandom racism, because hardison is black and fandom wants to focus on the white guy (eliot). i think if this were true then people would just ship parker/eliot like ive seen people do in other fandoms not make an ot3? but wanted an opinion from another person?

Totally cool to send me unprompted asks! Whether Leverage or whatever else. And first off, sorry to see you've been experiencing nastiness in the OT3 tags. I personally never have, but maybe that's down to me not actually knowing what the commonly used tag is? I legit just found blogs to follow who post enough thiefsome content for me, and pick up more here and there, but I dunno where most people post stuff. leverage OT3? parker/hardison/eliot? hardison/parker/eliot? hitter/hacker/thief? something along those lines probably, I've found some stuff tagged under each but have no clue what the 'main' one is. (Also I came up with my own name for them and post my own stuff mostly under that so I really got no clue what most people do, haha.)

Anyway, I digress. On to your main point - well, I will give a disclaimer first. Pretty much the entire time I've been on tumblr I've mostly been in a happy fandom bubble and not even noticed a lot of the nastier discourse. Probably down to the way I pick blogs to follow and then mostly stick to my dash? But anyway, that remains true for Leverage. And in fact until I started my rewatch I was never really involved in the fandom, despite loving the show. I actually haven't read much fic yet either. So there's probably plenty going on I'm not aware of.

That being said, yeah I would agree with you that generally I think if this was racially motivated then people would just ship Parker/Eliot. I don't think people usually default to poly relationships, so I don't really think that is a good argument against one. The only exception I would say is if there's a huge trend of people shipping the three of them together, but only using Hardison as a prop for the other two. You know, if fic focuses mostly on Parker and Eliot and Hardison is just around to be supportive and not given the same level of depth, that kind of thing. However, in the fandom interpretations I have personally seen of the thiefsome, that isn't really the case. It can't hurt to be aware of trends if you do see them, but I don't think you gotta worry too much about this one.

People can be mean. Try not to let it bother you, maybe blacklist if possible (though I guess that ain't if they're intentionally using whatever the main tag is) or build your own happy dash bubble to retreat to. The people I reblog a lot are really nice if you need a starting point! ^_^

Edit - check in the comments for some other perspectives. Seems like there is a tendency to focus on Eliot more, though perhaps not in a straightforward a way as that person was saying? (I dunno what they were saying exactly though so I can't really speak to that.) Doesn't mean we should stop shipping all three but we can be more aware of how we do so, and make sure not to skimp on giving Hardison his fair share of emphasis! (Parker too obviously but you get my point.)

[byakuyasdarling]

I present: The rough outline of how S/I fits into the killing game — but I might end up doing some revisions because it’s not easy.

I won’t mention any characters that specifically die and will gloss over them as I am mainly focusing on how the hell Byakuya and her work in this setting. I will simply refer to them as “the chapter — victim/ blackened”

I only cover chapters 1-3 in this post. I cover 3 WAY quicker than 1 and 2 though.

[DNI if you ship and post about Nae//gami. Block me immediately and leave.]

————

Preface:

So, S/I does survive the killing game. None of the victims and blackened changed with S/I added — she does, however, make a few trials easier and a few trials harder. Byakuya and his development is another thing too that I’ll have to go over.

S/I and Byakuya do have prior memories of each other within the killing school life as they attended and fell in love at Green Hills (but didn’t get together until Hope’s Peak). [backstory carrd here] and have had a revision since where they’ve known each other since childhood [here].

We left with S/I deeply caring about Byakuya and him being somewhat privy of being uncomfortable with the thought of losing her. So far, he really just values her opinion above others and doesn’t treat her like a total tool. We’ll get into how their current setting has affected the way they treat each other later in this post.

————

Chapter 1:

She is friendly at first, but once a murder occurs she becomes skeptical very fast to the point of cold-shouldering some others.

Byakuya still has his whole speech of, “I’m simply acting in accordance to what’s best for me.” When people tell him going off by himself may not be the best idea; that still leads to Makoto being knocked out from involving himself in the confrontation.

I will get onto why Byakuya isn’t considering S/I in the Chapter 2 section and the below paragraph.

She is a little hurt by all of this talk and upset that he isn’t considering her safety as he usually is cautious over her needs; she worries for their bond. It seems as if the high-stakes, high risk game has gotten to his head — imitating the cunning behaviour that was necessary to become the next head male in the first place.

Now, after Makoto passes out, S/I does talk to Byakuya briefly concerning her worries over the killing game. Byakuya dismisses her, but says:

“I know full-well you don’t have the heart to stab me. You’re lucky you are as smart as you are. I’ll *allow* you to accompany me for the investigation of the school... Your talents could prove useful to me.”

This really highlights how Byakuya’s mindset has changed because of the environment he is in — a highly competitive one. Byakuya used to prioritise the need of making her feel human. Yes, he would have never have begun to care for her if she wasn’t talented or smart, but it did grow into a genuine love of her, her personality/ character, how she cares about him regardless of his family identity, and how she made him feel something positive. This care is still somewhat in effect.

She bypasses his trust issues: he does trust her and evidently still does. He knows she understands him.

Because of this environment, Byakuya is defaulting to using his assets to win: which has made him revert to thinking of her more as a valuable asset. (He still considers her valuable as a person on a true and subconscious level — the stressful situation is just convincing his conscious mind that ‘this is the way of the Togamis’; he does his a realisation concerning he much he values her in Chapter 3).

She is losing a bit of trust in Byakuya though.

They will report their findings together when Sayaka asks the player (Makoto) to talk to everyone concerning their findings.

S/I does talk to Makoto (player) and Sayaka, saying that she overheard that they once attended the same school after Makoto has talked with everyone:

“Haha! Really? That’s so awesome you guys. In fact, I also attended the same high school as one of the Ultimates in this class! He’s a bit... — Anyway, I should get going. He is probably getting frustrated with the *mere* idea he has to wait longer than 2 minutes for me”.

She’ll run off before you can respond. Normal stuff happens. She’s rather shaken up by the victim of Monokuma’s assault: the realisation this is all real starts to hit her and she begins to be skeptical of everyone around her and less of a friendly leader figure.

Trial:

Things are pretty much as usual, except the trial is a little unnecessarily difficult. S/I does bring up that,

“Makoto easily could have broken the doorknob of his own bathroom with the knowledge he could defend his ‘innocence’ by saying that move would have been unnecessary with the knowledge he has. All the evidence presented to prove his innocence could have easily been faked by himself, knowing that this conflict would occur later. I would do it. It’s not hard.”

S/I is reaching here, but it’s important to keep in mind EVERYONE doubts Makoto at this stage, and I think her flaws of inherent bias and over-analysis definitely show and do make things temporarily harder. She’d be rather easily dismantled by Kirigiri though. Byakuya does acknowledge her point though.

————

Chapter 2:

Big thing with Byakuya here: he can’t recognise a losing condition so far. It’s commented on (especially in this chapter) that he thinks he’s practically destined to win as he did with the battle against his half-siblings; he makes a massive deal about “being the chosen among chosen”. He hasn’t identified a threat the killing game actually poses to him aside from himself.

His malicious nature continues as it does in the base game. S/I gets so worried for him once he doesn’t show up for the morning meeting. Makoto does find him first and calls everyone up. S/I is speechless, quietly in tears; it’s unclear if these are tears of relief or pain.

After he makes his snarky “We’re not friends. If anything, we’re enemies.” line to Chihiro, he demands everyone gets out of the library instead of him just leaving. S/I waits around to talk to him though, still very much in shock.

“Now, out of my sight. All of you. It hurts merely looking at you.... Do you have something to add, Miss Andreatidis?”

“I hope you know that your adversarial nature - your swift threats and active participation in this “game” is exactly what the mastermind wants.”

“Oh, and just how do you plan to justify that viewpoint? I expected more from you. Go on, tell me if you can. Or, perhaps, you’ll realise your lapse in judgement.”

“You may think otherwise, but for once, Byakuya Togami, something is out of your control.”

“Hmph. I thought that considering your intelligence, you would have come around to see things how I see them — the truth of the situation. It appears I may have misjudged you.”

“I thought that all those years I spent trying to show you kindness and compassion - trying to show you humanity... Was finally amounting to something...”

S/I heavily exhales, carefully evaluating her next words.

“I was a fool.”

S/I leaves but she does leave him in a puff. He isn’t happy; his authority was just challenged. He’s extremely angry. He insists she’ll just come crawling back to him when she realises how much she needs him. But she doesn’t.

The rest of the chapter they are not seen with each other at all and the chapter will play out exactly as usual from there — with Byakuya using Makoto as a test subject to determine the class’ investigation skills to calculate his own killings. With S/I far out of mind at the present moment — he’ll go on to execute his framing of “Genocide Jack” — despite the fact he didn’t murder the victim of chapter 2 himself.

I will note that Toko’s obsession with Byakuya is nowhere near as bad as it ends up developing as. Genocide Jack doesn’t change too much from in game, but Toko does not stalk him due to Byakuya and S/I being more of an item from the beginning. Toko’s behaviour is the same in this chapter though.

Trial:

S/I knows Byakuya was the one who framed the murder on the ‘mysterious figure, Genocide Jack’ before the trial. She knows him rather well and knows that the evidence was too overt — he wouldn’t skip over such things. She knows what he’s pulling.

She lets him go though. She doubts him a lot right now. She still cares for him at heart but she still takes a backseat until things get too out of hand. She makes Trial 2 go smoother and without all the unnecessary prattle:

“It’s rather evident Byakuya wants us to connect him to the framing of Genocide Jack. The extension cord, matched with his somehow louder distaste and devaluing of everyone here is indicative of such. He’s testing us — testing us to see if we’ll catch him in the act when he becomes the blackened himself. It’s a rather lowly thing to do... if you want my take.”

“Tch. I’ll ignore your snark for your own benefit. She is correct, I had nothing to do with the murder itself. I just happened to come across the body in the girls locker room, and decided to alter it.”

“Are you fucking with us right now...?”

“No, I am not... ‘effing’ with you right now. I’m telling you the truth.”

S/I is immeasurably disappointed. She found so much comfort in him — but it’s almost like the man before her is a completely different person to the one who showed care to her in Green Hills.

Byakuya begins to reevaluate things and the way he’s treated S/I during the game after the trial ends. Her harsh words were rather unexpected to him. And admittedly, mixed feelings of hurt and disgust arose. Disgusted and hurt she isn’t crawling back to him as he expected — hurt that she doesn’t seem to consider him being special to her anymore. He’s Byakuya TOGAMI, isn’t that enough? The fact that he even acknowledges her should be enough for her to appreciate him! But she isn’t.

He can’t quite admit he’s fully at fault yet, he’s Byakuya after all; but, he is realising that perhaps he’s the one who needs her too. He begins to miss talking to her and feeling her appreciation and love. The man who’s used to controlling everything around him in an instant has lost control over something — something he values. Something he wants back direly.

He shakes off these thoughts and focuses on winning again. But they’re there now, and they won’t go away — that thinking is still a true part of him ready to resurface.

Chapter 3:

I’m not completely sure how this works concerning evidence yet, but the blackened of this chapter pulls a pro gamer move and poses a double frame-up. S/I will be framed for ‘framing’ Yasihiro. In the blackened’s place, she is fully knocked unconscious and experiences short-term memory loss. She can only guess that the photo on the camera was taken by her — that it was lying around in the room and she picked it up to desperately snap evidence of a murder.

When she first is found, she looks dead without further inspection. She is limp with a bit of blood around her temple. She is found by the search party sent to look for her upon her disappearance: Makoto, Celeste, and Aoi. The rest come fairly quick upon Aoi screaming, and Byakuya starts to get very irrational, very fast.

Everyone is frozen in place; he violently pushes past. He kneels over her, prodding her, checking her pulse — anything. He has finally come to a realisation and acknowledges it: he does care for her, so, so much. He does need her, he can’t stand to lose her. He wants to feel her care again.

He finally realised he does have a losing condition in this game: and it’s losing her.

He is very relieved to see her come to at last. She tries to lift herself up rather carelessly, and he grabs hold of her to pull her up into him gently; she can’t hold herself up.

“Careful... Careful... I don’t want this happening again, do you understand me?”

He’s voice is rather hushed, no one can hear him except her. She is barely aware of her surroundings or even who’s holding her. She’s very loopy, tired and affectionate.

“Mhmmm... yeah, yeah of course.”

She’ll nuzzle into his neck, but he won’t have an outward reaction. He’s just glad she seems to trust him again. He rushes her over to the sick bay to treat her, the rest of trial 3 unfolds mostly as usual.

Trial:

S/I was the suspect after Yasuhiro for supposedly ‘framing’ him. It took a lot, but it was finally proven that she was a victim to a double frame-up — one of the blackened’s key mistakes in the original game (where she referenced 2 bodies when she only ‘knew’ there was one) would eventually lead everyone off her trail.

After seeing how furiously Byakuya is debating for her and how much he’s been taking care of her again, a lot of her faith is restored in him is restored in her.

After the trial, the player overheard them talking in the hallways when the door is slight ajar. Byakuya gives her a rare apology which is followed by a big hug from S/I as he simply tenses up in response. They finally have both come to terms with their feelings for each other (okay somewhat — I just meant they know they care for each other definitely now).

From now on they’re almost always together; most commonly seen in the library together, simply enjoying each other’s presence. Byakuya is very overprotective of her now.

“He owes me $100 for bribing the driver to take us”

“Sä oot hyvä venäläinen. Et ilkee venäläinen. Tunnen pahoja ja ilkeitä venäläisiä.”

“Any idea what he’s saying?”

“Not sure is even Finnish. Sound like just words”

~Major character death, unless it's temporary/not actual death.

Additional Notes on What to Expect:

~If you have any triggers or squicks you want to make sure I avoid, please let me know.

~I have no idea how long these are going to be, it will probably vary depending on the prompt and how my muse is feeling at the time. They will most likely be longer than the recent prompts I was doing, but I’m going to try not to write entire novels! I usually tend towards too long rather than too short, because I like to get in maximum whump plus the rescue/comfort at the end.

~My default will be as close to canon as possible as long as it works for the prompt and the story, so if you specifically want an AU that will need to be specified as an additional detail.

~I'll be posting everything on Tumblr, fanfics will go on Ao3 and possibly FFN depending on the fandom, and you can request via comment, ask, or dm on any of those platforms or on Instagram.

~I'm going for a total blackout here, so bring on the requests, people!

"Pearl buried her head further into her knees. She didn’t know anything about Trucy’s real mother and father… but it wasn’t fair for her to try and make Mr. Nick and Mystic Maya her real parents. Pearl couldn’t remember ever meeting her father, and her mother… Her mother…" from "marriage, magic, misunderstandings"? maybe the bit in which trucy & pearl argue before that too, if you want? (thank you for the phoenix & maya friendship content)

you are so very welcome anon, I have like three default states and they’re dadworth, narumitsu, and phoenix+maya friendship... but the last one rarely comes up and that’s partially why I’m really glad you asked for something from this fic!! For that I’ll do the argument and a bit of the scene you’re talking about haha... underneath the keep reading here:

Pearl finished wiping at her eyes. Something was still bothering her about what Trucy said. “Um… Miss Trucy…”

“You can just call me Trucy, Pearls.”

“Um, okay, Trucy…” It was strange. She wasn’t used to calling people names without a title. “Why do you call Mr. Nick and Mystic Maya your… Daddy and your Mommy?”

One little thing I try to do with Trucy’s dialogue now that I’m not totally sure I did a year ago when I wrote this fic is have her adapt how she refers to people depending on who she’s talking to... like say if she’s talking to Phoenix she’ll call Pearl “Pearls” and when talking to Maya she’d call her “Pearly”. I see her being very quick to adapt to other people’s speech patterns to make herself as likable as possible, even at a young age, as part of the magician persona.

... I say all this not even entirely sure if Trucy does this in the fic? It’s 20k words and I’m not gonna go through it all to check haha, but that’s definitely a thing I started doing at some point.

Pearl on the other hand has been raised to be very formal by Morgan and put proper titles in front of everything, even nicknames (see: Mr. Nick and Mr. Scruffy Detective...) even then it’s a little hard for her to call someone her own age with a title (hence why she doesn’t do it in narration but does in her dialogue here). ... Thinking about it now, Trucy is probably the first person around Pearl’s age that she’s ever met, which is pretty depressing.

“Because they are,” said Trucy, like it was obvious. “Or they will be.”

“But they’re not going to be your real Daddy and Mommy, right?” Pearl pointed out.

Trucy’s expression got strangely serious. “What do you mean by that?”

“Well… Mystic Maya has Fey blood,” Pearl explained. “So… so her daughters are going to have Fey blood, too, and they can channel spirits like I can and like Mystic Maya can. But you can’t, so… you’re not going to be Mystic Maya’s real daughter.”

“But Daddy is my Daddy.” Trucy crossed her arms, and she was starting to look angry. “And whoever my Daddy marries is going to be my Mommy, right?”

Trucy “calls her new father ‘Daddy’ within 0.2 seconds of being unofficially adopted by him” Wright and Pearl “raised in Kurain Village” Fey probably have veeeery different attitudes towards how family works. A lot of it ties into my Kurain Village headcanons which haha I DEFINTIELY rambled on about in another commentary, so I won’t repeat most of it... but like I said then, it’s my belief that spiritual power being hereditary leads to a lot of attitudes on the importance of women with that spiritual power having biological children who will have that spiritual power. In Kurain Village, there’s no real “use” in a spirit medium adopting a child, since that child can’t inherit the legacy of the village.

And of course Pearl is super sheltered so I don’t even know if the concept of adoption really exists for her. In this fic she doesn’t even really understand the idea of how babies are made, because she is nine years old and extremely sheltered and you just know Morgan would refuse to answer any questions she may have for fear of exposing Pearl to “impure thoughts”. (When she’d just be asking a basic biological question. Then probably never got around to asking Maya or Phoenix.) So Pearl isn’t totally sure of the mechanisms but what she does understand is that for Trucy to have spiritual powers, Maya would have had to give birth to her, which she didn’t; and because Trucy doesn’t have spiritual powers she wouldn’t be recognized as a viable heir in the eyes of the village, and thus, can’t be considered Maya’s daughter. Pearl’s also feeling a fair bit of jealousy which I’ll get to in the next scene... but that’s also influencing her actions here.

Trucy, like I said before, seems to be pretty quick to just accepting new family as her own. I guess this may make sense coming from the Gramarye background... like I don’t think Valant and Zak were related, but he’s automatically her “Uncle Valant” despite that, so she already sees family as something that doesn’t need blood ties. But it’s also only been a few weeks since she came to live with Phoenix and is of course dealing with some unacknowledged trauma regarding her father abandoning her, so the insinuation that she doesn’t have a “real family” is getting to her a bit too.

They’re also babies so they can’t really understand or voice any of this.

“But… but not your real ones!” Pearl shouted.

“Why isn’t it real?” Trucy shouted in return.

“Because… because it isn’t!”

Trucy didn’t have anything to say to that. She just glared at Pearl for some time with her arms crossed. Pearl glared back. It wasn’t her fault if Trucy just didn’t understand something as simple as that.

“I’m going home,” Trucy muttered, and then turned on her heel and stormed off. Pearl sulked for a little bit, before beginning to feel overwhelmed by all the crowds, and then followed from a safe distance.

Admittedly children are very hard to write haha. They’re both dealing with a lot of stuff but as kids can’t really process it super well...? So I wanted their argument to come off pretty childishly, which makes sense since they are. eight and nine years old.

And I don’t really like kids much and don’t ever have much reason to spend time with them, so I don’t know how kids talk...? I attempted the best I could from my memory from ten years ago, and no one’s said anything about it being off haha.

Anyways... the scene after this is just supposed to provide some more context into the environment that Pearl grew up in and what she was taught from Morgan. I’m not going to go into too much detail about it because it wasn’t in the request, though. Key points are that Pearl grew up in an environment where it was expected that she would have biological children someday -- like, even moreso than society right now. And she’s expecting the same thing from Maya because of the environment she grew up in.

Okay, now for the part in the ask:

Trucy had already locked herself in her room by the time Pearl returned to the office, so Pearl sat on the couch with her knees to her chest and sulked. She didn’t want to fight with Trucy. If Trucy was going to be Mr. Nick and Mystic Maya’s kind-of-daughter, then she wanted to get along with her. She couldn’t bear it if Mr. Nick and Mystic Maya wanted to spend time with Trucy more than they wanted to spend time with her.

Kind of touching more on the jealousy Pearl feels towards Trucy -- she thinks that Trucy’s going to get to have Phoenix and Maya as parents (which is... half right) and that upsets her because, for the past few years, she’s pretty much been their “kid”. She worries that Trucy’s going to take her place.

Pearl buried her head further into her knees. She didn’t know anything about Trucy’s real mother and father… but it wasn’t fair for her to try and make Mr. Nick and Mystic Maya her real parents. Pearl couldn’t remember ever meeting her father, and her mother…

Her mother…

Sooo yeah this is all happening only a few months after Bridge to the Turnabout, which always makes me so sad about Pearl. Because I don’t think it was ever explained to her what her mother did, since she still seemed to be under the impression that Morgan would want what was best for Maya, hence why she went through with the letter. The realization that Morgan betrayed her and used her to hurt Maya probably crushed Pearl. She’s not going to get over that very easily.

And since Morgan was locked up Phoenix and Maya were probably as close to her own parents as she got. I’d say Phoenix would probably adopt her in a heartbeat if she asked. Maya probably sees her more like a little sister, since there’s the same age gap between Maya and Pearl that Mia and Maya have. But with Pearl’s current attitudes on family I don’t think she’d fully admit to herself that she wants Phoenix and Maya as her parents, so she’s pretty much abandoned by her biological parents and now fears she’ll be abandoned by her “new parents” - and kind of drags Trucy down with her in a sort of “if I can’t have them you can’t either” way. It’s more subconscious because Pearl isn’t a cruel person by nature, she’s just a grieving kid.

So... Pearl has no memory of her biological father, presumably he left before she could remember. He certainly doesn’t come up much in conversation. Morgan probably still hurts too much for her to think about, hence why she can’t quite finish her thoughts about what her mother did just now. The kid really does deserve good parental figures in her life, she just needs to change her attitudes a bit to see them for who they are.

Overall with this fic... it’s got a special place in my heart for the Phoenix and Maya friendship content obviously. Also, for a while, I wasn’t a huge fan of Pearl... partially because I don’t like kids, also her shipping opinions annoyed me... but then I sat down and realized I had 20k words of feelings about her? At the end of the day she DEFINITELY deserved better and I will fistfight Morgan in a parking lot for her sake. A lot of this fic was kind of dumping my Kurain Village headcanons onto the floor and shouting “LOOK AT THESE!!” while also being able to write Phoenix and Maya friendship from a perspective clouded by heteronormativity and also emphasizing the importance of platonic and familial types of love being just as if not more powerful than romantic love... which are all things that are really up my alley. 

... And of course it’s the least popular of my fics because it’s a 20,000+ word one-shot that doesn’t have any ships. I know I sometimes browse around and see a long fic and go “wow! why don’t you split those into chapters!” like a hypocrite. So I’m not surprised, but that just makes me even more thankful that you’re asking about it? So... thank you! It’s midnight now and I don’t know how coherent this whole thing was but I really appreciate it!!

mao mao heroes of pure heart halloween gift exchange

for  @mochiislovemochiislife

wish list: fanfic, mischief night, patrol, scary stories leading to fluff, platonic reader x mao

pairing: ended up being badgermao

________________________________________________________________

badgerclops and mao mao holding hands in the woods 

mao’s doing it to protect him from the ghosts

obviously

story under the read more

Mischief Night and the Buddy System (also on AO3)

Badgerclops knew he shouldn’t have listened to Adorabat and Mao’s scary story challenge before going on patrol. He’d been fine when it was just them running around the kingdom, trying to stop the occasional sweetiepie from whatever prank that’d been in progress.

Penny and Benny egging their neighbor’s houses, Gary trying to TP the entrance lamp posts, even the king and Quinton had been enjoying Mischief  Night (the sheriff’s department had an especially hard time keeping up with them, what with all the secret passages at the king’s disposal). 

He and Mao had actually lost Adorabat near the 4th run around of patrol  because Pinky and Slim Pigguns had hijacked the aerocycle for a joy ride.  Seriously what was with the villagers and their weird pull towards anarchy?!? 

“UUUUUGGGGHHHHH, walking sucks“, Badgerclops groaned as they trudged forward, “why did they have to shove funfetti in the rocket thrusters?“

Mao sighed.

“There’s not much we can do about it Badgerclops, Adorabat’ll call us once the aerocycle’s up n’ running again“, he said, “she’s just gonna have to hold down the fort in town while we finish this last sweep of the forest“

Badgerclops pouted, this would’ve been so much easier (and faster) if they had Adorabat and the aerocycle with them. Maybe then he wouldn’t be freaking out every time the trees rustled, or a small monster shuffled their way out of the bushes. 

The quiet seemed a lot louder than usual when his mind kept going back to Adorabat’s creepy skin walker stories, or that really scary one about the watchful eyes and hushed disappointed whispers that followed you if you were alone that Mao told right before they started patrol. 

Wait, wasn’t Mao walking in front of him? Where’d he go?! Badgerclops froze, a rustling to his left, the whispered repetition of his name getting closer before turning into a yell as he SWUNG AROUND, ARM CANNON AT READY AND-

“WHOA! BADGERCLOPS IT’S ME!“

before realizing that it was aimed toward’s his co-hero’s face, Mao’s hands up in in surrender, eyes wide and shining from the light of the laser.

Badgerclops lowered his arm, switching back to his default claws before swooping Mao into a bone crushing hug.

“Mmpphhh?!?“

“Ohthankgodit’sjustyou“, Badgerclops breathed.

Mao squirmed, pulling back a little in the embrace to regard his friend.

“... you got freaked out by our scary story battle didn’t you“, he deadpanned

“PPPFFFFF what? nooo. I wasn’t scared. I was just, y’know, worried, cuz I didn’t see you move behind me and-“

“...“

“...“

“OK fine I was scared, happy?“, said Badgerclops, putting the other back on the ground with a soft ‘harumph’ before crossing his arms and puffing out his cheeks.

Mao brushed himself off before holding out the hand that didn’t have the  flashlight.

“Uh, Mao?“

“Well don’t just stand there, take it“

Badgerclops continued to stare before Mao huffed and grabbed his hand, pulling him along. 

“Mischief Night calls for the buddy system right?“, he said. Mao was facing away from him but Badgerclops could still see him smiling. 

“Haha, yeah“. Badgerclops could feel himself starting to smile too as they made their way back to the kingdom.

“Gotta make sure neither of us is a skin walker“, Mao chuckled.

“DUDE NO, DON’T JOKE ABOUT THAT“

________________________________________________________________

BONUS: 

BC and Mao hold hands all the way until Adorabat joins them 

short chunk of time where they also hold hands with her in the middle and swing her up and down

everyone is in jail

E V E R Y O N E

most of them are freed on Halloween, except for Pinky and Slim Pigguns, because they’re bastards

sweetiepie crimes:

egging other’s houses

TPing lamp posts and trees

stealing the aerocycle

cramming funfetti into the aerocycle’s rocket thrusters

filling the fountain with orange soda and soap bubble bath bombs

gluing mailboxes shut

ding dong ditch

vandalism

throwing unknown potions (honey and camille)

framing the skypirates by dressing them up and hiding each one in a different spot around the kingdom (king and quinton)

just an idea but imagine rufus and reg vandalizing the skypirate ship and selling all the stuff needed in the above crimes to the sweetiepies while in disguise (just mustaches for both and a top hat for rufus)

different idea i had where

pinky steals a potion from honey and camille and chucks it at mao mao

mao mao age regresses and turns into mini mao

badgerclops takes him home pretending that shin mao left him here to be babysat in a legendary kingdom while he was gone

(adorabat was at school when this was happening)

adorabat’s like ‘so, uh, what’s up with mini mao??’

they both look down to see mini mao scarfing down cobbler like there’s no tomorrow

basically just wait it out until the potion wears off

When was the last time you swam in a lake? There’s a few photos of me and my mom from when she and her sisters-in-law took me to a certain lake when I was a year old. As far as I know, that’s been the sole time I got a chance to have a dip in a lake.

If you could have anything right now, what would you want? I’d so love a solo grazing box, a bottle of wine, and a scented candle all to myself right now.

What’s your relationship status? Single.

If you could learn any language, what would it be? Korean so that I would no longer need subtitles whenever I watch my favorite Korean shows; and so that I don’t have to worry about language barriers for when I travel to South Korea.

When was the last time someone asked you your age? I’m not so sure, actually. This question doesn’t really come up a lot anymore. My mom does tend to be forgetful though, so she may have asked about this within the last few months at least.

How would you describe your day today? Uneventful, exactly how I planned this day to be. It’s Chinese New Year today and we got to have a holiday off work, so I’ve been super thrilled about the long weekend. This day mainly consisted of taking a survey in the morning, watching a couple episodes of 2 Days 1 Night, lots of vaping, and a quick afternoon nap. Oh and the croissants I ordered from a friend finally came!! I got her assorted set of butter, Nutella, and caramel croissants + pain au chocolat, and the ones I’ve tasted so far have been heavenly. 

When’s the last time you ate a school lunch? Last year I’m guessing, since I haven’t been on campus for that long.

Have you ever been on a train? Just once. I don’t like taking public transportation.

When was the last time you danced? This afternoon. Hayley likes penning the most depressing songs masked under happy beats and melodies, so dance I did to one of her new songs, Over the Hills.

Why are you taking this survey? That’s kind of what I do. < Haha, agree. And this one seemed to have interesting questions, so I took it from Lina :)

Do you ever sing in the shower? I rarely ever do, and when I do I keep it very hushed. The echo makes me feel self-conscious.

What’s your all time favorite movie? Two for the Road. I’m due for a rewatch soon, too; I haven’t seen it since April of last year.

Are you hungry right now? I was hungry, but I’ve since heated up the caramel croissant I mentioned earlier. I’m also having iced coffee with it.

What color eyes do you wish you had? I’m fine with dark brown, since that’s kind of the default on this side of the world, anyway.

Has anyone ever tried to physically fight you? My brother many times, mostly when he was a kid. He was the most poorly-behaved out of us three siblings, and if he wasn’t throwing a tantrum at the top of his lungs he was either punching or kicking me and Nina.

What’s your dream job? I had planned to be in PR and that’s where I currently am. I know my plans or dreams can always change; but for now, I don’t see myself working in any other industry.

Have you ever ran with a knife? Yeah I used to chase my brother with a knife whenever he misbehaved.

What time is it right now? 9:05 PM.

What would you buy if you won the lottery? Give a big chunk to my parents for mine and their peace of mind, especially given the fact that my mom was recently retrenched and my dad is still on his side gig since there’s no sign of the cruise ship industry getting back on its feet anytime soon. As for the rest of the money, I don’t know. I’ll buy some of the gadgets and shoes I’ve been eyeing; allocate another portion to donate to this animal NGO I’ve been supporting for a while on Facebook; then save the rest.

Are you avoiding someone? Gabie.

What’s your favorite shape? I don’t really have one?

Do you call your boyfriend “Monkey”? I don’t have a boyfriend but I never called my ex this, either.

How social are you? I try to be friendly and social with everyone now, which is a far cry from how I used to be.

What’s your favorite primary color? Blue.

What were you for Halloween? I went as Dora for the second time in a row because the latest Halloween ‘party’ I went to (it took place on Zoom) was with a completely different set of people who will never know I also went as her in 2019, anyway.

Do you like hot chocolate? I do love it, just not the ‘hot’ part, haha. I will order it occasionally but will wait till it gets lukewarm before I take a sip.

What do you have pierced? Just the ears. < Me too. I don’t plan on getting any more new ones.

What’s your favorite type of tea? Iced and in lemonade flavor.

What do you struggle with? Forgiving myself when I make mistakes/disappoint others.

When did you get a Facebook? I was initially not allowed to be on any social media until I turned 18, but back in high school my English teacher assigned us a project that we had to execute through Facebook. I obviously didn’t want to fail the class, so I made a secret Facebook account in 2012, when I was 14. My parents couldn’t complain about it because my grade was on the line, so they let me and my account be.

What’s your favorite thing about the winter? I suppose I’d appreciate the colder weather more than anything else.

Read the book or watch the movie? Whichever one is the best? We all know some adaptions are very shitty and vice versa. < Yesssssss. 

Do you watch Glee? No. I never really liked the covers very much except for a few ones, like Defying Gravity. And it seemed very much like a teen-oriented show, something I was never able to be a fan of. 

Can you walk in heels? Yes, I love high heels.

Regular or iced coffee? Both, whatever I’m in the mood for.

What is your favorite dog breed? Probably Golden Retriever.

☕☕☕☕☕ (KIDDING, 🌟🌼🌗❓!)

 ☕☕☕☕☕ WELL IF YOU MUST KNOW,,, my deepest darkest secret… my BIGGEST shame… is that I can’t get Calico’s cats to like me. I KNOW! I’m a fake druid, but I try talkin to them and I chase them around and they’re not havin’ ANY of it. The cats on this boat are anti-Tiller ghskgh;skgsgds

(ALSO THIS GOT LOOOONNNGGGGG, so I’m putting it under the cut, I’m So Sorry For Getting Carried Away)

🌟When your OC loses all hope, who do they turn to first? What helps make them feel better? What calms them down and reassures them? Why?

I think when all hope is lost, I would always turn to Roy! I know I should probably say something like my real dads but I haven’t seen them in so long and I never want to worry them with things they don’t need to know about…. Roy always knew how to keep up a brave face, and somehow had a plan for everything, even when failure seemed inevitable. All the Sea Dragons for that matter, made me feel that way! I could never stay in a sour mood after an evening meal with Bingo or Codec, or hell, even Skiff! They’re practically my family and I know they accepted all parts of me into their ranks, so I can’t help but feel better if we’re all together. Though nowadays, that’s not an option, so… to calm down I usually like to hang out in the crow’s nest and chart stars. You can see the sky and the ocean for MILES, when everything is so grand and beautiful, things can’t seem so bad. Something about being up there reminds me that life is always moving, like the ocean! So if things are bad now… then they can’t stay that way forever, because that time will have to move somewhere else, somewhere in the past. On a simpler level, I really appreciate hugs and snacks. I’m the perfect form for cuddling! It’s not bragging, it’s a fact!!! So if I’m ever sad, just squeeze the life out of me and I’ll feel better. 

🌼 Write a short drabble from your OCs POV meeting their LI 

I see the red sails being raised at the end of the dock. Black skulls with a sun burst pattern decorates a number of them. The whole ship is made from stained black wood with red trim. The wood even smells burned.

Jeez, these guys are the ostentatious types, huh? 

Everyone looks like they’re bustling about, doing the prep work for an extended time out at sea. They’ll be expecting me anytime now, but when have pirates been punctual?

Okay, okay, new boat, new story, don’t sweat the small stuff. No one can ask you too many questions if you just keep up your overly-friendly small talk. These guys are supposed to be more dangerous than the last crews, which means a bigger haul. Roy’s counting on you.

I look around the main deck and spot an older woman with an intricate braid and a wide-brimmed hat. That’s gotta be her. I run up and say:

“OH! Ahoy there!!! I’ve never been on a ship this big before wOOWW! Love the color scheming, it really brings out the whole ‘murder-y’ vibes you guys seem to be going for haha! You must be Captain Rhea!”

The older woman looks perplexed (like they usually do), and responds: “That would be me, aye. Though I don’t remember ordering for an interior decorator aboard my vessel.”

“Hehehe no! But you DID send for a navigator and that’s me! Tiller Jakobie, at your service! I’ll tell ya where ya are, where ya goin, where ya wanna be, and how to get there! I also brought my own maps!” I lift them out of my bag proudly. These babies took ages to chart, but no one appreciates map craftsmanship nowadays.

Rhea sighs: “Ah, I did put Beremy in charge of recruiting didn’t I? Remind me not to do that again…. But yes, unfortunately, our last navigator has seemed to desert us for his own misadventures. If you’re the best we can do for such a short time, then so be it. Boys, get her set up in a room, I have business to attend too.”

Yeah… the misadventures of their old navigator mostly involve spending the next few weeks in the brig of The Quick Silver. If Franz is on guard duty, the poor guy will have to listen to him while he practices new songs. Hehehe that’ll make him WISH we threw him overboard!

I turn to my new alleged crew members: “SO! Miss Captain said something about accommodations? Do you guys have room service?? OH! What about those complimentary little soaps??!! Where am I stayin!! You’ve got a five star suite for me, right?”

Most of the reactions are as expected; a couple a furrowed brows, eye rolls, a few smirks and chuckles. I’ll have em head over heels for me soon enough, I mean, come ON! I’m adorable!!! They look around at each other, and one pipes up:

“Well I know someone who don’t have a bunk mate right now…”

The group kind of snickers and mumbles to each other. I hear some whispers - “That’s a lil mean for her first day, ain’t it?” “With HER, are you serious?” “Well, I ain’t gonna be the next one with a fresh scar for waking her up by accident!” They talk back and forth some more and come to an agreement of some kind? “Alright, we got a room for you, follow us!”

I trail behind them, trying to note down the layout of this ship. It IS bigger than The Quick Silver, more in width than in length. The mizzenmast is fortified and I can see spots for snipers to sit up by the topsails. That’ll be a problem to deal with later… We continue below deck and I’m practically pushed towards a room at the end of the hall. My welcome party already starts backing up toward the hold and they shout: 

“Alright, get cozy in there!” More repressed laughing. “Dinner’s served around dusk, see you then!”

Okayyyyy… whatever these guys think they got against me, I’m sure it can’t be that bad. What’s a little hazing between new crew members, right? I’ve faced worse.

“Uh hello?” I knock and open the door.

Oh Fuck. It is that bad.

In the room, there’s a girl, sitting on the lower bunk, sharpening a pair of swords. She doesn’t even flinch when I enter. Her hair is covering a lot of her face, since she’s looking down. It’s so long… Golden hoops dance under her ears. She has bandages around her hands and scars up her arms. Who IS she???

“Are you lost?”

I jolt back. SHIT, I’ve been staring!!! “Wh- huh?”

The girl looks up at me and her hair falls back. Oh NO, she’s PRETTY,,,,!!!!! My face feels hot, WAIT, is this room hot? DON’T tell me you’re blushing right now, Jakobie,,,

She asks again: “Are you lost? This is my room. What are you doing in here?”

Your mission. Remember your mission, dumbass.

“AHAHA OH RIGHT! N-NO WAY! In fact, it’s my job to be Not Lost! I’m Tiller, the new navigator aboard the ship, it’s SUPER nice to me you!!!”

She puts away her whetstone but doesn’t say anything.

I close the door, as I default to rambling over silence. “Well... ANYWAY, your friends said you needed a roomie so here I am! They seem like a fun bunch huh? They mentioned something about you stabbing someone, not that that’s important to me haha! D-Don’t answer that! Those are cool swords you have there!! Where’d you get them? Can you fight with them at the same time!!?? That’s CRAZY! But in a good way! Not that you’re crazy!! Also, I didn’t seem to get your name??” I take a seat on the chest across from her.

She starts to polish her swords. “I didn’t give it.”

Ohhhh one of THOSE types.

She glances up briefly and squints at me. “Why are you wearing a sleeve on only one arm?”

To hide my tattoo.

“OH haha! THIS??? It’s uhhh… to cover a… birthmark! It’s- It’s really gross and ugly and I, uh- hate it so I don’t like looking at it.”

She furrows her brow and kind of scoots further away on her bed after hearing that.

Smooth.

I start putting my stuff away. “Sooooo, I heard someone on the boat is named Beremy?? What’s up with that? That doesn’t sound like a real name.”

“Tiller doesn’t sound like a real name.” She mumbles.

“OHHHH SO SHE HAS JOKES!!! Miss Mystery over here has jests and japes for the the new girl, okay, I’ll take that one. I’m glad comedy is allowed in this room.”

She seems to eye me more closely now as I empty my backpack. She responds: “Just don’t touch my things and you won’t be sleeping in the galley with your namesake.”

“The other crew members seem to be kind of scared of you. Should I be worried, or are you all bark and no bite?”

I feel a whoosh of cool air whip past my ear. One of her swords is suddenly embedded in the wall behind me, inches from the side of my head. 

Whoa…. she’s Perfect.

She sounds a little irritated when she says, “I like for people to make their own judgements about me and not listen to rumors from people they’ve just met.”

My heart is racing. (Probably from the sword, right??) I yank it out of the wall. “That… was SO COOL!!! I didn’t even see you throw it. You’ve gotta teach me that!!!””

She looks a little taken aback.

I continue, “Also have you ever thought about pulling your hair out of your face with something??? Then maybe you can aim better!! Plus… I think your eyes are really pretty...”

“I-” 

Suddenly, there’s a bell ringing down the hall.

The girl looks away to the side. Was her face always that pink? She stands up and makes for the door. “That’s the dinner bell. You can… come with me if you want. It’d be weird to just stay in here.”

I hop up. “Alright Miss Mystery, if you INSIST!”

“It’s Mayday.”

“What?”

“Mayday. That’s my name. If I am stuck with you, then you at least ought to know what to call me.”

Mayday.

Aw man… how am I gonna figure out this one…?

🌗 Early mornings or late nights? What do they spend their time doing during these hours?

Early mornings all the way! As much as I LOVE sleepovers and gossiping over pillow talk, there’s something AMAZING about seeing the sunrise and getting to run around before the rest of the crew has woken up! Usually, I like to sneak food from Mr. Biscuit while he’s still making breakfast and I try to hide stickers in Selim’s armory. I chat with all the animals around the boat too! You know, catch up with the seagulls and dolphins following along side. I usually find a rat or two, and they always have the best jokes!!! Miss Shih says I should get rid of any rats I find, but what she doesn’t know, won’t hurt my loyal subjects. And then my favorite, I GET TO WAKE EVERYONE UP!!! Miss Shih’s always awake, so she’s the exception! You really bond and get to know a person once you’ve seen them at their most annoyed and delirious state, A HA I LOVE IT!!!

❓ A random fact or short drabble! Or make up your own question to ask the OC!

My question of choice: If you had a personalized Captain Hat, what power would it grant you?

THAT’S A REALLY HARD ONE!!! Part of me almost wants to inherit Roy’s hat because his power is really cool and he’s never let me USE IT!!!! >:///

But part of me also feels like it would be fun to just enhance the druid powers I already have! Like basically just become a water-bender and control the weather when you’re out at sea!! OH! Or maybe it could be a shape-shifting animal hat!!! (But how would that work in animal form?? Would they all get little hats?? That’s not intimidating!!!) Maybe it could be navigator related, and I would always know where I am and never be lost! OR MAYBE! It could track the thing you desire most!!! That seems kind of heavy for me though haha! Regardless, I can’t make up my mind! I want them all! The solution is that all captain’s should give me their hats and that’ll be the end of it!!! It’s only fair, and I deserve it of course!!!

[panda-noosh]

REQUEST: i wanted to ask how the Paladins((+Allura) would react to hearing their s/o have a break down remembering what their mother did to them? Like their mother was emotionally and verbally abusive towards them and neglected them to the point of refusing to take them to the hospital for a blood transfution due to being on their menstral cycle for three weeks???

A/N: the person who sent this in wanted to be kept on anon, so i hope they see this haha x

Shiro:

               • Shiro would honestly be sooo angry??

               • Like, I cannot sit here an type out just how angry he would be because there are no words to explain such an emotion.

               • He tries so hard to push his anger down - your safe now, and he knows that’s what should matter the most, but he can’t help it.

               • Seeing you look so broken, so broken over something that has already happened and that he has no control over rips him apart.

               • He’ll sit with you for only a few hours, letting you fall asleep in his lap.

               • He’ll then move you and go outside, get himself some fresh air because he needs it. He feels your pain as if it’s his own, and it hurts him to see you that way.

               • He has to constantly remind himself that you’re okay now, that nobody can hurt you. He vows to himself that he’ll protect you from anything like that ever happening again.

Keith:

               • Keith can relate to you when it comes to family issues, which is why I think he handles this situation so well.

               • Comforting people has never been Keith’s strong point. He struggles with his own emotions enough as it is, so whenever somebody else needs comforting, he tends to leave that to everyone else.

               • But whenever it’s you - whenever he walks in and sees you curled up on the bed in tears, whenever you tell him everything that your mother did to you - he feels like it’s his job to comfort you.

               • The idea of somebody else helping you through it makes him feel jealous.

               • He’s surprisingly good at helping you through it. He doesn’t make you tell him anything you don’t want to, but the things you do tell him is enough for him to put two and two together to know what happened.

               • And there’s this anger in him that burns so brightly, that he tries so hard to cover by hugging you a little closer, peppering kisses on your shoulder blade as you sit with your back to his chest.

               • He promises then and there that if he were to ever see your mother in person, he would never let her hurt you again.

Lance:

               • Lance doesn’t have very many stories to tell whenever it comes to not getting along with your family.

               • One thing Lance has always said to you whenever you two got together is that he’s excited to meet your family; excited to meet love his future in-laws, as he always put it.

               • You always simply laughed at his excited attitude, but a year and a half into the relationship and he still hasn’t met your parents, he starts to worry that perhaps you don’t want them to meet Lance.

               • The last thing he expected was for you to start crying your eyes out whenever he asks you about it.

               • He’s never seen you so upset. Never. You can barely talk, barely explain yourself to him past the sobs that are racking your body right now.

               • “Lance, please don’t think that. I love you so much but - but-“

               • And then you start to tell him about your childhood, about what your mother did to you, and Lance can do nothing but hold you and listen as he tries to hold back tears of his own.

Hunk:

               • I can imagine him getting quite worked up and nervous whenever you explain to him what happened to you.

               • Hunk has always seen himself as a respectful man - he is a respectful man.

               • Whenever you two made it official between the two of you, it was his default reaction to like your parents, even before he’d met them. He just always thought that was the right thing to do.

               • He never asked you about them or started a conversation about them - the odd time that your parents were brought into the conversation, you would do everything in your power to avoid talking about them, and he always thought that was just because you missed them and didn’t want to get emotional.

               • But then he walks in and sees you curled up, sobbing into your knees, and his entire world just kind of crumbles around him.

               • He holds you all night, not asking for an explanation. He lets you do that in your own time, whenever you’re ready.

               • Whenever you finally tell him why you were crying, when you tell him of the abuse you went through, Hunk just stays silent.

               • He holds you a little bit tighter, doesn’t want to let you go in fear of you falling apart completely, but he stays silent because he knows there’s nothing he can say or do that will make you feel any better - he was too late arriving in your life to help you when you needed it, and all he can do now is promise to help you through the breakdowns, to help you heal.

Pidge:

               • Pidge hardly ever brings up the topic of your parents.

               • I think she is able to tell that you have some bad blood with them, but she doesn’t know the true extent of it, doesn’t know the abuse you went through.

               • She just notices the way you change the subject whenever somebody mentions your mother, and that’s enough for Pidge to not bring them up.

               • It’s whenever you start crying, having a panic attack in front of her, that she truly starts to question how serious your past with your mother is.

               • She always knew there was something between you two that you never spoke about, but you were getting behind worked up at this point, and Pidge just immediately knows there’s more to it than what you’ve let on in the past.

               • She grabs you and takes you to your bedroom so you’re away from the other Paladins, before she sets you down and lets you completely break down in her arms.

               • Pidge has never been one for feeling emotional about things to do with others, but she can’t help the tears that slip from her eyes whenever you tell her the reason you’re crying.

               • It hurts Pidge. It genuinely, physically hurts to hear that you were once put through so much pain that you - nor anybody - would have ever deserved.

Allura:

               • She’s always been too busy to really sit down and have long, drawn out chats, and you’ve always known that.

               • You’ve always known that the woman you love is busy, and sometimes she doesn’t exactly have the time to sit and hear about your problems, even though Allura really does try her hardest to get those talks in when she can.

               • Usually, you just tell her not to worry and she takes the chance to get back to her work as soon as it’s presented to her.

               • It takes her walking in on you sobbing and shaking for her to realise that something is wrong, and she hasn’t picked up on it in time.

               • Almost as soon as she sees you in this state, it’s like her entire schedule has been cleared. She only walked into the bedroom to see of your whereabouts before was due back at the front of the ship to help Coran, but seeing you now, she wipes all other plans away and crumbles down next to you, holding you tightly.

               • She’s crying with you before you can even tell her why you’re crying.

               • But as soon as you do, her body is shaking with anger. Where Allura is from, people pride themselves off of having happy families, and there are some women who would kill to have children who are unable to do so.

               • Hearing that a woman could do such a thing to her child and think it’s okay makes her blood boil. Especially since that woman did those things to you, the person Allura cares about most in the world.

               • Allura apologises. She doesn’t really know what else to say. It seems like the only thing she can say; she apologises for always being busy, for always being so quick to believe you when you say you’re fine, even though she can clearly see you’re not fine. She apologises what you went through.

Kenny and Bebe for the domestic ship memes 🖤

(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ @sugarbebe​ ♥ sent an ask meme!! || status: accepting. 

SEND ME A SHIP AND I WILL TELL YOU: 

( THIS POST IS FUCKING LONG, I’M SORRY )

—who’s more dominant: I think they’re almost equally ranked on this, though since Kenny has much more patience than Bebe does, I believe he would be more passive about things than she would. Unless he’s sees something as unfair/unjust, he could be pretty assertive and confrontational so in a sense pretty dominant. But openly Bebe would be the more dominant of the two.

—who’s the cuddler: They’re both affectionate but I think Kenny would be more of the clinger here. He primarily uses affection to show his love. When it comes down to it though, he’s more physical than he is verbal. Bebe likes being showered with attention and affection from what I know, so i think this works out well for the both of them.

—who’s the big spoon/little spoon: Haha, honestly when these two come together their actions/choices are usually different from traditional standards. I'm pretty sure even though Kenny’s like SIX inches taller than Bebe, she would probably big spoon him. Often. He also lowkey prefers being held.

—what’s their favorite non-sexual activity: I think they would enjoy simple activities that would allow them to communicate without feeling claustrophobic. Something like, exploring areas they’ve never been before; slow walks in natural environments; the cliche car on hilltop- listening to music. They would probably take a lot of pictures together or of each other making stupid faces or just plainly goofing off. I’m sure they occasionally do movie marathons in their spare time. I also think they would enjoy a fair share of aggressive activities, as they’re each competitive in their own right. It could be anything from a Karaoke Duet to Laser Tagging, Ice Skating to out doing each other in Carnival games. Basically two extremes, really chill or no chill.

—who uses all the hot water: Kenny’s used to his water heater malfunctioning. He’s showered in cold water hundreds of times, I don’t think it would faze him much anymore. So. Bebe, no doubt about it.

—Most trivial thing they fight over: If it’s a domestic issue?? Taxes..?? I’m not sure tbh?? Maybe, messiness?? Kenny has a habit of never putting things back in their rightful places. That might start an argument?? IDK???

On the other hand, if it’s a relationship issue, I believe it would be absence and or lack of trust from either party. There’s something about loving someone tremendously and then having them leave you with nothing but a letter; never seeing them for another fifteen years -COUGH- that could potentially fuck with someone’s psyche y’know?? ALTHOUGH, when someone you love is in constant danger, and frequently disappears for days to weeks, without any explanation that’s also pretty fucking shady LOL. The reasons are valid at least..!!

—who does most of the cleaning: Aha, I think we’ve discussed this HC before, huehue. They’re pretty equal here. They sometimes team up and purge the entire fucking house together. 

—what has a season pass on their dvr/Who controls the netflix queue: LMAO, “DVR.” MY MUSE IS TRIGGERED. Anyway, I think Bebe controls the Netflix queue ( or y’know.. Cordelia probably hogs up the whole fUckin account ) since Kenny doesn’t really care. He just wants to spend time with her when he can. Possibly cuddle, possibly bang, possibly O.D on leftovers. -Unless they promised to binge a specific show together. THEN “BRING THE POPCORN AND SCOOT OVER BITCH, LET’S FUCKIN’ DO THIS.”

—who calls up the super/landlord when the heat’s not working: Hmm.. I not sure. I have a feeling that Bebe couldn’t be fucking bothered to talk to the landlord. Honestly, she probably hates them haha. Either she’s best friends with the landlord or YEET. In short, it would  T R I G G E R  Kenny, but I think he would do it.

—who leaves their stuff around: Hahahahahaha. Kenny. Maybe even Bebe?? I still think Ken would win this round by a LOT. Back home, his room would stay messy for months, until sooner or later he had a SUDDEN urge to clean it all up. He was really good with laundry though!! At least.. after he ran out of it. Washing everyone’s laundry was actually one of his many  chores. Unless their washer broke down, which it would.. constantly. If this occurred the whole family would just collect their piles of laundry, and take it to the public Laundromat together. He’s just used to being messy- and then… tidy.

—who remembers to buy the milk: Probably Bebe. Kenny never… really.. got to buy groceries.. so.. In all seriousness, groceries weren’t a part of his chores, so he never made it a habit to apply this rule to his regimen. No matter who he lives with. He’s just used to missing a meal, so he doesn’t worry about it.

—who remembers anniversaries:  Both!! Even though Bebe sometimes acts like a t’sundere, she totally loves romance. And luckily, Kenny is the type to pay attention to things that matter to his S/O’s. I think they’re both romantic’s and know how to woo each other well. So all that’s left is WHO SAYS “happy anniversary!!” FIRST.

—who cooks normally: Well, Kenny passed Home Ec with flying colors, and he’s actually a decent cook so. I suppose Ken would?? I can remember if Bebe was bad at cooking or not, but i think she tries anyway. Which Kenny finds extremely adorable, whether she fails or not.

—how often do they fight: I honestly don’t think they fight unless the problem is UNAVOIDABLE. I think they both kind of don’t mention anything until it get’s really bad. Like “well shit. you almost died, i think this might be a sign…”

—what do they do when they’re away from each other: I think they’re either working or indulging in their favorite hobbies. There’s also that whole concept called a social life, friends and shit. Crazy, I know!! It’s so weird how their entire existence doesn’t revolve around each other and that they haven’t surgically SEWN THEMSELVES TOGETHER. They’re such a strange & quirky couple!!!!

—nicknames for each other: UM. -SWEATS- HA, HAHAHAHAHa. HAHAHAHAHA. ( inside jokes are gr8 )

—who is more likely to pay for dinner: Kenny would try to pull that chivalry shit, because my boi is a gentleman, but if Bebe wants to be an independent  woman who doesn’t need some hobo’s money, then Ken won’t fight it. He likes being pampered anyway.

—who steals the covers at night: Kenny is a pretty calm sleeper. He doesn’t move much, and he doesn’t really snore either. He does get hot easily, and he sometimes has recurring nightmares, he’s also a light sleeper but that’s about it. I think bebe wins this round. Ken wouldn’t mind this though, he would probably pull her in and big spoon her cocoon fortress.  

—what would they get each other for gifts: Ummmmmmmmm. I think Bebe would notice how he’s constantly tense and probably book a spa day for him. He’s never been to a spa, so I can imagine him being very uncomfortable at first but then ADORING it afterward. Kenny on the other hand would put on a costume from a her favorite movie character and make up their home to look like her favorite scene and play out her fantasies, no questions asked. “oh, you like drama bebe?? i’ll give fucking give you drama.” ( the movie could be about WW3 and HE STILL WOULDn’T GIVE A FUCk. “this is a little weird but sure babe i’ll cosplay hitler.” )

 —who kissed who first: According to our HC’s… We never decided.. Though, my gut is telling me that the first kiss was mutual. Mostly cause’ YOU KNOW HOW MY BOi FEELS ABOUT CONSENT. Unless they were shitfaced. Then my gut is probably wrong HAHA. Yeeeah, I’m gonna hit you up after this..

—who made the first move: Honestly Ken is a naturally flirtatious person, I think he probably made a move waaay into the friendship stage, but since it’s usually his default, Bebe probably didn’t even notice it. HAHAHA RIP.

—who remembers things: NO ONE. IT’S CANON AND MY MUSE IS FUCKING  T R I G G E R E D. Nah but, I think Bebe is probably that chick that has a really aesthetic planner with color coordination and everything, that she never really bothers to fill out and she just owns it and leaves it on her desk to feel proficient LOL. I’m just gonna give this one to the both of them. I think they can both be responsible when it’s needed. But of course, everyone has their mishaps.

—who started the relationship: I wanna say BEBE SO BAD. Things would be so much more IRONIC and hilarious.

—who cusses more: Probably Kenny, he’s got a SAILORS mouth yo. He’s not embarrassingly bad.. He knows when and where it’s the right time to say stupid shit. Usually..

—what would they do if the other one was hurt: Drop EVERYTHING. It doesn’t matter what they’re doing. I think they would be at each other’s side as soon as possible. They would heal each other, mentally and physically. Whether they’re in a romantic relationship or not. I believe that they care about each other immensely  

—who is the dirty talker: As I’ve said before Kenny’s more physical than verbal. He is a sexual person, but he’s MUCH more LUSTFUL if he loves/cares for the person. I think Bebe would probably take the cake here. Whether or not she does indulge in dirty talk. He really only does it upon request. ALTHOUGH…. If you get him drunk, there are no limits, he’ll say things that would drop Bebe from 1st to 10th place.

—a head canon: They text each other sweet, positive and fluffy messages when they’re away from each other. Just in case the other is having a really bad day.

[korn-kob]

No Love Allowed

My first OK K.O.! fanfic, because I’m not officially in a fandom if I don’t make at least one.

A somewhat one-sided (you’ll see why) Radmond fanfic that accidentally became angst. I did not have a set mood for this when I planned on writing it so that kinda explains it. It’s SFW but it DOES get heavy as the story goes on so, yeah, hold your horses.

I posted this first on AO3. You can read it there, if you like. Here’s the link.

Since the creation of the first Raymond, many of his type have been manufactured and shipped to every super villain in the area along with the others. In Box More, among the many rooms was also a game room or gymnasium of sorts which is where most of those Raymonds preferred to hangout by default due to their sports themed programming.

Known for being prideful and narcissistic, they mostly kept to themselves, preferring to mingle with one another. It wasn't everyday that the original Raymond, which they--or themselves, rather, if their hive mind was active at the time--have unanimously dubbed 'Raymond Classic' come visit them so it came as a surprise when he did.

"Raymond!" they all greeted, almost like a cheer. They motion to crowd him and ask what he was doing here, how things were going, and if he came to practice with them or play a game of whatever sport he'd suggest. However, they soon realize he was not in high spirits because today, his usually confident demeanor was absent. They know that look; something was wrong.

"I'm just gonna go ahead and say it," Raymond said. The original one, that is. "I think I have a crush on someone."

The group of Raymond's went silent, engaging their thought processes into one, gathering new information as Raymond Classic continue to speak.

"But that's not the worst part... I have a crush on a hero!" he added. "And not just any hero either."

He pressed his hands on his face in frustration.

Falling in love was one thing, but to fall in love with the wrong individual was another.

"Why him?" he asked himself, looking up into the heavens as if an invisble spotlight shone upon him to emphasize his anguish. "Why, oh, why did it have to be him?"

Raymond just HAD to go head over heels for a certain blue alien who happened to be the enemy working at the bodega in Lakewood Plaza Turbo. He'd lay all night unable to shut down while recharging himself, thinking about him. Heck, he even remembered his name--Radicles or 'Rad' for short--and his stupid beautiful face with his dumb hot muscular body. He hasn't even mentioned his huge ego that's just begging to be stroked.

And yet there was apparently more to him than meets the eye. As of late, Raymond had took the habit of sneaking out to try and watch over him as covertly as he could. He had been caught only a few times by his fellow robot siblings but he was cool and convincing enough to come up with an excuse that stopped all form of suspicion. Anyway, the first and most obvious that he found out about him was the alien's love of cats, and anything cat themed. He also babysat, and did yoga--Raymond wondered if that also helped Rad stay in shape.

It was wrong what he was doing and an utter violation of privacy. He could feel his cooling fans overworking again and it was all Rad's fault. Not really, but it might as well have! All of the Raymond's agreed.

"Stupid Radicles! You... beautiful meathead! I hate... that I don't hate you!" Raymond got down on his knees, his pointy nose hitting the floor.

Raymond wouldn't dare let anyone know of these feelings nor all of these escapades, especially Lord Boxman, who despised anything resembling friendship or goodness. He'd show Raymond a red card right away, or worse... He'd rather not dwell on it any longer so he gave that bit of thought a time out.

"Coach Boxdad will not approve," Raymond uttered. "I'll be out before I even get three strikes."

What was it about that made his father despise any bond that's considered benevolent? And it seemed mighty hypocritical too with the man's obvious crush to one of his clients. Then again, Professor Venomous was a high negative level villain with an admittedly slick fashion sense. So once again, it comes down to falling in love with the wrong person at the worst situation possible.

"If only things were different, like... What if I wasn't built for evil? Or what if he [Radicles] was on our team instead?" Raymond thought out loud as his companions contemplated also. "But what if things stayed the same, and we're all made the way we were but we just leave the plaza alone once and for all?!"

The more he thought about it, the only obstacle that ever kept him from pursuing Rad was their objective of fighting the heroes at Gar's Bodega, and all because his father had an issue with them which amounts to a bunch of kids playing in his front yard. It was stupidly petty as to be annoying.

"This stinks..." Raymond said through gritted teeth. "The only thing worse about things that would never ever change, is that they COULD change but I know that will never happen!"

He couldn't stop them any longer, and a stream of liquid ran down from his eye. His other eye did the same. The Raymonds followed suit but without any of the emotion the original had. They stood there like the robots they were meant to be; several bodies with only one objective in mind.

Raymond then thought how cruel it was of Boxman to assign these feelings if none of them could act upon it. Nothing was going to come and touch his shoulder, to try and tell him that things will be alright, though they were all standing right in front of him. They can't do anything beyond that. Ironically, it was the most alone he felt.

"Raymond!" Lord Boxman yelled. "I need to have a word with you... at my office!"

"Ooh..." Darrell and Shannon droned in unison. They along with Raymond were watching TV on the couch when their brother was suddenly called.

"Looks like someone's in trouble," Shannon said.

"Preposterous!" Raymond huffed. "He's probably summoning me to be complimented on... a job that I have done most successfully. Whatever that is..."

Raymond trailed off at the last bit.

"I don't know. Dad looked pretty teed off," Darrell noted. "See what I did there? 'Teed'? As in golf? Y'know, like the sport? Because that's Raymond's thing and--"

"Yeah, I get it!" Shannon hissed, stopping Darrell from elbowing her any longer. "But it's HIS thing, not yours! That's what you get for not having a gimmick. Plagiarism!"

"I do too have a gimmick!"

"Do not!"

"Do too!"

Raymond rolled his eyes and walked away, leaving his two siblings to continue their silly argument. He reached Lord Boxman's office, letting himself in as the door had been ajar.

"Come closer," Boxman beckoned.

Keeping his stance upright, Raymond refused to show anything resembling nervousness or doubt as he walked closer to his father's desk.

"Hi, Coach," Raymond began. "Any reason you wanted to see me?"

"That's a stupid question!" Boxman exclaimed. "Why on earth would I call you here if I HAD no reason?"

"Oh, haha! I'm just messing with you, Coach!" Raymond said, trying to save face. "I simply mean... what particular reason that you wanted to see me?"

"Yes, yes, I'll get to that. But first, let me say something; you know I consider us a family, right?"

"Yeah?"

"And when someone in a family has a problem... they usually go to whoever is the head of the household for, well, advice. Ideally, that's what's supposed to happen. But I am your maker, so I got that role covered."

"That's why you're the coach!"

"Now to answer your question from earlier, I called you here because..." Lord Boxman paused on purpose before he spoke again. "I wish to know if you are having any issues recently. If something is eating you."

For some reason that got Raymond very worried which Boxman was quick to catch with the way the robot's expression changed.

"So tell me, my star player. Are you having trouble with anything lately?"

"N-Nothing that you need to be TOO concerned about, Coach," Raymond answered, mentally beating himself for that stutter. "I mean, I guess my kicks are a little rusty because my knee makes this creaking sound every time I move it back and forth--I should probably oil it. And my bottle of hair gel is almost empty. But like I said, nothing too big!"

Boxman glared at him, humming in great observation.

"I wouldn't lie, coach," Raymond said, placing a hand on his chest. "I promise."

"I know," Boxman said. "You're not lying. There's just something you're not telling me."

"So what if there is?" Raymond said, shocked at himself for talking back while Boxman was a little thrown off. "I have the right to a few secrets, don't I?"

"Well if it's such a secret, why are you so horrible at keeping them?!" Boxman yelled.

"...What do you mean?" Raymond asked, his tone having gone soft.

Boxman was ready to speak but stopped to think of another way to get his point across. Having done that, he made a little smile and simply said, "Follow me."

Raymond was led to the door, and out of the office. Something was up, he knew. He could've just ran away while Boxman wasn't looking but that would've been a foul move which would only make things worse. No choice but to obey while his dad's temper was under control.

He looked around the factory, seeing more of his brothers and sisters being made out of a machine which assembled them. Raymond's type was there too, of course. He was jolted back into the conversation when Boxman spoke to him again.

"I know everything that goes on in this factory. You can run and you can hide, but I CAN find you. Same goes for whatever's going through that metal plated head of yours."

Raymond was resigned to his position. Dad 1, Raymond 0. He knew about the crush, about Radicles, and all that.

"You should've known better than to open up to the others like that," Boxman said. "You're basically walking, talking, THINKING, computers which transfer everything through wireless means. YOUR problem becomes THEIR problem! Ernestos check all the data within each and every robot, review them, and forward any information to me that would hinder your basic functions."

"Are you saying we'll never be safe inside our minds?" Raymond implied.

"Yes! You actually are free to think as you please," Boxman said. "You, however, just made the fatal mistake of corrupting your fellow Raymonds!"

"Corrupt?"

Not looking where he was going, Raymond bumped into... himself? No, another Raymond which belonged to a line of more Raymonds in front of something red and glowing. It was also getting hotter, he noticed. He recognized these Raymonds from somewhere.

"What are they doing here out of the game room?" Raymond asked.

The line moved and the original Raymond was compelled to follow them.

"When I came down to check on them, I saw that they were all frozen stiff," Boxman informed. "Catatonic, to put it simply. None of them could even catch a ball, much less play with one. It was a pity too as they were scheduled to be shipped to a very devoted client of mine. So imagine his dismay when I said the delivery had to be delayed due to..." Seething with rage, Boxman spat, "Technical difficulties!"

Raymond tried to speak, and said, "Coach, I didn't mean to--"

Boxman did not let him finish. "And it's ALL because of this nonsense infatuation with some... idiot stock boy from the plaza who doesn't even give a hoot whether or not you have feelings for him!"

"That's not true!" Raymond yelled. The line moved again and so did he, not mistakingly.

"Face it! He's too dense to even know that a robot like you can feel the way you do," Boxman said.

"He's just oblivious!" Raymond said, defensively. "There's a difference between that and whatever you're saying."

"Regardless, it is embarrassing to have to deny Professor Venomous that shipment that was gonna be due next week!" Boxman said.

"So that's what this is all about!" Raymond said, a realization setting in. "You're just mad because you missed the touchdown from looking at your boyfriend's eyes while you shoot!"

For his troubles, Lord Boxman slapped him on the side of his face.

"I have had it with your sass, mister! You are gonna show some respect and stay in this line or so help me..."

Somehow, Raymond failed to ask such an important question.

"What is this line for anyw--?"

He had been following the line of Raymonds until there were only four of them left in front of him. He could now see that they were willingly tossing themselves into the incinerator, one by one.

The gears inside his chest were working up like crazy, and his breathing became frantic. How could he have been so blind?

"Stop!" he cried, begging for the Raymond who had just jumped inside of the furnace. "Don't follow him anymore! Turn back!"

"There's no use, Raymond," Boxman said. "It's too late. I have altered their hive mind to answer only to me. These Raymonds are defective and must be disposed of. I can't have word of Box More shipping off defective robots that go stiff every time they're unable to keep their emotions in check to get into the public, could I?"

"Coach, please, I'm sorry!" Raymond begged on his knees, grabbing onto his dad’s leg pant. "I got distracted! I failed you and I failed my team, I admit it! Just stop this!"

Lord Boxman was feeling more annoyed than pitiful.

"Did I remember programming you to be THIS dramatic while I was making you?" he asked himself. "Well, I could always make adjustments but I'd rather you remember this for as long as I decide to keep you activated. Also, you are out of the line. Fill that gap!"

Boxman kicked Raymond away, forcing him to stand in front of the incinerator. The last robot in front of him opened the door. Without hesitation, the 'defective' Raymond climbed inside of it, head first, making its way there little by little until its entire body is reduced to burnt scrap metal.

Raymond wanted to look away, but he found himself looking on in horror as the flames melted its face, singed its hair, and turned the body's green and yellow color scheme into black.

He fell to his knees again, his eyes wide in despair. He sensed a hand being placed upon his shoulder. It was his dad's.

"You are grounded for a month from participating in any mission with your brothers and sisters in attacking the plaza," Boxman said, making Raymond feel more broken. "You are also not allowed to hang out with the other, newly manufactured Raymonds lest you corrupt them again. Now, get in there!"

Boxman pointed into the burning coals before them and Raymond's pupils shrunk into dots as his eyes widened.

"B-but..."

"Yes, you're joining them!" Boxman said, as if answering a question Raymond was about to ask. "Your thoughts will be transferred into a new vessel. There'll be no big loss."

Even with that, it didn't calm Raymond down. Not one bit.

"I... I can't!"

"I'm not gonna let you force my hand, Raymond..."

"No!"

Raymond was about to run away but a Darrell and Shannon grabbed him by the arms. He knew instantly that these robots restraining him were NOT actually his brother and sister. Even they wouldn't stand for this.

"So that's why they're here!" Boxman said all too cheerfully, taking in some sick delight in watching the mostly put together robot squirm in their grasp.

"Let me go!" Raymond cried helplessly. Boxman ignored his pleas.

"Since you have to complicate things instead of doing this with your dignity still intact, then I have no choice!" He then commanded the other robots; "To the fires with this one!"

Raymond's entire body was flung into the furnace's cavity and Lord Boxman locked the doors the moment the heat of the flames started melting the robot's face. His hair was instantly set ablaze and an eye fell out of his socket.

"DADDY LET ME OUT!" he screamed as loud as he could from the fire's crackling. Raymond's panic had been so great, he no longer called for his 'coach'. "PLEASE, DADDY! IT'S BURNING ME!"

"Stop being such a baby about this!" Boxman scolded. "Your big brother Darrell had to undergo the same thing and HE didn't have to stoop to this type of hysterics! You may be my greatest creation yet, but I'm treating you no better than any robot in my factory. I'm doing this to teach you a lesson."

Lord Boxman turned around and added, "I'm doing this to teach you ALL a lesson!"

Ernesto, Darrell and Shannon had seen enough to get what he meant. They had never been so scared for their lives and of their father before. Raymond's screams travelled all over the halls of the factory and it had caught their attention a bit too late. By the time they got there, he was being forced inside of the fuming chamber.

They remain petrified as Lord Boxman walked pass through them without looking and went back to his office as if nothing had happened. Even when the new Raymond who possessed the same thoughts his destroyed body just witnessed was craned into the scene, it did nothing to make all of the things they have just seen less traumatic.

No grand entrance, no flamboyant introductions... Just the sight of Raymond staring into space for what felt like a very long time. Right beside him was the glowing fire in the furnace burning metal, which had just been stripped of anything that resembled feeling or emotion.

-THE END-

[franeridart]

Every time I see your art of a rare pair I somehow become a huge fan of that rare pair. I have too many otps...,

...is it okay for me to be happy I’m dragging you down with me on all of my weird ships because tbh I am for a lot of them there’s just a handful of people shipping them I’m happy you’re joining us hahaha

Anon said:because of your tags on that kamisero post i now love the hc that kirishima just uses loving bakugou as an excuse to get out of conversations that make him uncomfortable, even if it makes no sense. Like 'any advice on how to confess?' 'I'm dating bakugou, you probably should ask someone else.' or 'how do you think snow works?' 'Dude I'm dating bakugou, i don't know.'

I’m in love with this ask because this has been my most ridiculous headcanon for an age I’m glad I could subtely make you share it, anon - Kirishima being perfectly aware of the fact that aside from the face there is no objective reason why he should be that smitten with Bakugou? That’s my jam, he’s as surprised as anyone else so when people ask him anything love related he’s like “do I look like a reliable source man DO I I think it’s hot when Bakugou yells there’s obviously something wrong with me you don’t want my advices”

But also for however aware of it he might be he’s still in love with the dude so people pointing it out to him gets old really fast, like, “it’s one thing if I say it myself and another it’s you talking shit about my boyfriend stop that”, which is why he just starts using “what do I know I like Bakugou” as an answer to anything - it starts with him being a smartass and it becomes just habit by the end of it, sometimes he uses it when Bakugou is around or with Bakugou himself and Bakugou doesn’t understand, doesn’t want to understand, has pondered the option of getting angry/offended/demanding an explaination and has deemed it not worth his time because the answer is most probably just gonna be that his boyfriend is an idiot anyway

(also he might or might not like how Kirishima’s pretty much just going around telling people he likes him over and over again, tbh)

Anon said:Any tips on how to be creative with ship week prompts? I'm wanting to participate in klance week but I'm worried my pics will come out really basic and yours are always so unique!

Thank you for the compliment!!!! And actually this is an hard question, cause as I already mentioned once what I draw is the first thing with a beginning and an ending I can come up with, so I can’t say I put too much focus on making it unique? But there are two things I can tell you! 

The first, is that whatever idea your prompt ends up giving you, for however boring and basic it might seem to you, I assure you 100% that it won’t be to whomever ends up consuming your content - that’s because even a “boring” trope will be completely new as long as it comes from the hands of someone new who’s giving it their own interpretation of it (take for example the nightmares prompt for the latest krbk week, a lot of people - myself included - took it literally and wrote about them having and talking about nightmares, but I enjoyed every and each of the fills a lot because even if the starting point was the same they were all very very different stories) and also any idea you get easily will seem boring to you by default, because you didn’t think about it hard enough, right? It must be the obvious thing to think about when you read that prompt, right? Everyone else must have thought the same, right? Only it isn’t right, because every brain works differently and creativity sparks from the most ridiculous things, so your idea might seem very obvious and boring to you, but completely new to someone else! You don’t know how many of my own fills felt incredibly trite as I drew them, and yet here you are telling me you don’t feel the same at all haha

The second thing is that generally I found that creativity is... how do I put it, it’s kind of like a muscle. The more you exercise it the easier it will come to you using it, or at least that’s how it works for me - being creative isn’t really something you can force on the spot, but it’s definitely something you can learn and get used to, in my opinion. There are a few ways to exercise it, but the easier one for me is playing around with prompts - how many different ideas can I get from this same set of words? what kind of story can I pull out of this song/picture? Those are the most basic ones, but there’s also reading/watching a story and trying to adapt it to your own chosen characters, fit together more than one universe to try and pull out something sensible, seeing something in the middle of the road and thinking “that’s a prompt, I can use that as a prompt”. After a while, everything becomes a potential prompt, and your brain automatically goes through a short “can I use that to create something else?” check every time you experience something new, and stores it somewhere to use in the future if it seems potentially worth keeping, if you’re used to doing so. And the more little prompts and informations and facts you have stored around in your brain, the more you can subconsciously pick them up to add to new ones to make something creative

That second part is definitely a bit useless as a short term advice, considering your week is starting soon and exercising your creativity does take a while, but I hope you’ll give the week a go anyway! Both because I’m sure you’re already way more creative than you’re assuming you are, and because making creative stuff is the fastest way to becoming more creative, really!

Anon said:I LOVE UR DRAWING OF KIRIBAKU U MAKE ME FEEL ALIVE. THANKYOU SO MUCH FOR BEING PART OF THIS FANDOM, WE ARE SO LUCKY! I ALSO LOVE HOW U HUMOUR AND MAKE IT SO SWEET AND CUTE ANNDD SOFFFTT T_T

BOI thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *O* I’m glad you like my stuff??? There are so many super talented artists in this fandom, sitting with them sometimes can get intimidating haha so this really means a lot!! Thank you!!!

Anon said:Wow can u believe......ur my fave artist......ur Kiris are my fave ily

F ave !!!!!!! holy h e c k !!!! thank you!!!!!!!!!!! Do I deserve such praise I’m really not sure am I gonna keep it anyway yes, yes I am, I’ll keep on thinking about this ask forever oh my go d

Anon said:Who usually tops in Bakushima?•//////•

Ohhh man, a question I can’t answer - both because I don’t dwell much into sexy headcanons territory AND because I’m honestly not a fan of that dicotomy at all? I never settle on anything in that sense for any of my ships, but Baku and Kiri especially make no sense settled in that kind of roles, for me, they probably just go at it however they feel like it’d be best atm haha

Anon said:I never expected to ship bakushimanari and yet here i am, three hours after scrolling through your tag for the third time, crying over every single interaction between the three of them in the manga. (I think my favourite thing about them is that both Kaminari and Bakugou can be little shits but then there's kirishima, who's an unrepentant sunshine, and it's just like. What a terrifying trio. I pity any villains they face).

I know right they’re such a good ot3 !!!!!! though let’s not take anything from Kiri, when he’s with the squad he can be a shit too, it’s magnificent - I do love the fact that we know from the canon that both Kaminari and Bakugou don’t sympathize with the enemy at all and don’t hold back on fighting verbally either, while Kirishima is all “stop running away and let me give you a life lesson” though ??? And the fact that Bakugou and Kaminari can’t coexist without talking shit about each other at least a little makes it all even more entertaining to me, considering how on the other hand even though Kirishima doesn’t hold back from pointing out when Bakugou’s being ridiculous he’s still always all about support and trying to better the others??? It’s like, when you read it like this they seem like a mess, and they are but they’re a balanced mess it’s incredible I love them I need more of them all together

Anon said:Saw Tokoyami, fell, and now I can't get up ))':

Anon said: Hello I just wanted to express my thanks to you for the bakugou and tokoyami interactions you drew. I love them as friends and it's pretty rarely portrayed so THANKS~

Anon said: Listen as much as i love the ot3 i am so happy you drew my bird son (and tape son! tho i think youve drawn sero more often than tokoyami)

!!!!!!!!! you all sure love the bird child a lot, don’t you!!! That’s great because I do too, he’s one of my most faves tbh and I officially made him part of the squad so you can expect more to come - I had drawn him already before, though! With Tsu and Kiri mostly, never with Baku... Sero on the other hand is in a whole damn lot of my squad/kiribaku/bakushimanari drawings so yeah, I’ve definitely drawn him more often haha what can I do man I love him too much he’s a Good™

[captain-oblivious]

Ohohoho my friend you should have never given me so much power with the get to know me post haha Here it goes (for now) : 2 ; 8 ; 13 ; 30 ; 42 ; 55 ; 56 Now suffer haha

cut bc i like to prattle on about myself

from the “get to know me, pick some numbers” ask meme

oh god what have I gotten myself into

2. what would you name your future kids?NameError: name ‘future kid’ is not defined

In all seriousness though, I’ve never thought about this bc I don’t want kids and I’m ace so if I did suddenly want kids they’d most likely be adopted. I guess in the event that I needed to name kids, I’d probably want to name them after scientists, the way I name all the other things I name in life. So… Marie, Isaac, Albert, Emmy, etc? (after Marie Curie, Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Emmy Noether, etc.)

8. have you ever cried because you were so annoyed?I can’t recall ever doing so. For me crying generally happens out of extreme happiness or extreme sadness. I did kick a wall out of annoyance when I was a teenager once. Only once because it was painful as fuck so I never did it again, haha

13. how do you feel right now?tired, and lazy, I just spent several hours skiing. a bit hungry, also a bit thirsty. I should prob get some snacks/water soon

30. favourite tv show(s)Yuri!!! on Ice (obviously), Star Trek, Steven Universe, Rick and Morty, One Punch Man. I don’t generally watch a lot of shows compared to most people I know

42. favourite book(s)The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (haha, funny that this is #42); that series really helped me deal with the absurdity of life when I was hella depressed. I can quote passages of it from memory bc I’ve read it so many times. Also the robot series by Isaac Asimov, consisting of The Caves of Steel, The Naked Sun, and The Robots of Dawn; it’s a buddy-cop-type series with a human cop and a robot forced to work together and the worldbuilding is fantastic; Asimov comes up with a lot of intricate cultures for different cities and planets. Also the (mild spoiler but really it’s predictable if you know the genre) friendship that slowly builds builds between the cop and the robot is pure af (and I totally ship it ahahaha). Other books that I also really like: Redshirts by John Scalzi (a really fun satirical take on Star Trek), and Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie (hella good epic sci-fi stuff from the perspective of a sentient spaceship in a human body). 

damn, I need to get back into reading again bc books are lovely

55. tumblr friends

ah everyone on this site is so nice, honestly, it surprises me every time

but anyway oh gosh I’m worried that I’ll forget someone; so, people I’ve talked to with a fair degree of frequency include you, obviously (silotia), katsuki-victor (aka ljoongi), theroarinourstars, inthequeensenglish, and yuudachi

(not tagging bc i’m sneaky like that hahaha)

(oh yeah if anyone reading this wants to be my tumblr friend just say hi! because i never initiate conversations bc that’s scary and i assume that people don’t want to talk to me by default. but i’m always happy to talk, just be warned that i’m terrible at making conversation so you may have to carry a lot of the topics)

56. favourite food(s)

chicken fingers, probably, though they have to be the really good restaurant kind, none of that frozen shit. (i mean, i eat the frozen kind sometimes when i have little energy and i need food, but it’s always a bit saddening when i do.) i also really like katsudon (it’s one of the things i ordered most often from japanese restaurants even before I watched yoi!) cinnamon rolls are a lovely dessert, and guacamole is also fantastic and I’m so glad I can make decent guac myself.

phew okay as usual i put in way too much detail, but yeah. thank you for the ask!

[maxbronte]

                          “---Okay. So.

      “ I was thinking we could go with like a NAUTICAL theme for the room. I have all of these adorable shotglasses from my hometown port’s gift shop. This one with the little anchor is my favorite-- ‘SHIP-FACED.’ Isn’t that cute? I mean it’s tacky but it’s like fun-tacky. And I have these navy-white-stripe curtains so we can replace these tragically drab ones the school provides. Oh! And I’ve been dying to put up this cute seahorse clock!! Do you like the ocean? Did you grow up in the Northwest? I’m, like, diehard Washington coast. You can see the pier from my window back home. I can ask my mom to send down my sea glass collection if you want to see it. I think I want to get a ‘Float On’ tattoo. Somewhere discreet so I can still be professional. Do you know that song? Do you like that song? What kind of music do you like? Do you like pop music? Do you mind if I play my music out loud sometimes? Don’t worry. I have great taste. Like ‘Float On.’ And Gaga. You seem like a Beatles girl. Do you like the Beatles? You have this total 60′s thing going for you. But you so rock it. I think it’s the hair. I used to have short hair. Hated it. It looks super cute on you, though! You probably take short showers, too, which is good, because you’ll make up for the longass showers I take, so the other girls in our hall bathroom can’t complain. Haha! No, I’m totally kidding. I only take like, 25 minutes. How long do you usually take? Probably like 10, right? Your hair looks really healthy so I bet you only shampoo, like, every other day. You know you’re supposed to do that, right? Not shampoo everyday? It’s something to do with the necessary oils in your hair. Speaking of oils, do you like essential oils? Because they’re like, my lifeforce. Peppermint is my favorite ever-- it’s the only thing that gets me through my headaches. Actually, I have a humidifier that you can put oils into to make the whole room smell bangin’. We can also light these candles, if you don’t mind. --Check it out! Nautical candle holders!!-- Don’t worry about getting in trouble. My buddy Sid and I figured out how to cover the smoke alarm with a hanger and a plastic bag. I do that when I need to light incense. Gosh, incense and oils! I sound, like, totally hippie, don’t I? Don’t worry, I’m not, like, freaky into horoscopes or anything. I check mine, though. I’m a Sagittarius, if you couldn’t tell by my charm bracelet. How about you? I bet you’re a water sign. Super peaceful, but like, lowkey sensitive. Are you a Pisces? Are you a Cancer? But maybe you’re an Aquarius. Did you know Aquarius isn’t a water sign? It’s wind. So it’s less like the ocean itself and more like sea breeze. Which suits you. You seem a little aloof but like, sincere, though. Wow, yeah! You’re totally an Aquarius, aren’t you? ...No, maybe a Cancer after all. You look stressed. Am I being overwhelming? Am I talking too much? Sorry, I, like.... My roommate last semester was kind of a lone wolf, so I have all of this pent-up bonding to get out of my system. I think it’s also an only child thing, too. I mean, I have this cousin who was basically my brother but it’s not the same, you know? Not growing up in the same house? And it’s super-not like a sister where you can borrow each other’s clothes and share beauty tips. We used to be able to talk about boys though, because he’s like, ultra gay, but it's way more fun when you can talk about boys while doing each other’s nails. Wait. Do you like boys? It’s weird-- I’m still getting used to that not being a default. But I’m getting better. Oh my gosh, do you want to do each other’s nails and gossip about boys!? Do you want to do a roomie bonding spa day? Girl, I am huge into manicures. Do you want to see my nail kits? I have a ton of stencils you can borrow. Oh! I’m just Max, by the way. No one really calls Maxine. Except for, like, this one kid. Because it’s like an old lady name and he’s the only one on the planet who likes it. Do you have any nicknames? Can I call you Snowflake? Can I call you Snow White? How cute would that be? Do you get that a lot? Do you have any social media? Do you have a Twitter? Can I follow you? ”

Anon back again, don't worry about delay in answer! I'm not expecting you to reply in a matter of seconds and I'm patient anyway! (●'◡'●) (and yeah, tumblr's notification system kinda suck so really, not your fault haha)

I understand your struggle with fics all too well lol I'm sure a time will come when it just clicks and you can write the good stuff ( •̀ ω •́ )✧ And no need to feel bad if you haven't posted a lot on ao3! You don't have to have 1000 fics or 200k word-long fics for your works to be enjoyable!! Even little ficlets and drabbles are good to have around ♥

It's good of you to have taken time for yourself if you needed it ♥ And yeah, completely understandable to hesitate and come back to fandom in general with the current state of things (a couple years ago I made an IE/Go sideblog and I'm still terrified that someone is going to come up and yell at me for shipping the characters lmao And that's without counting the Problematic™ fics I wrote when I was 16 lmao)

Regarding your tags, I'm just sitting there like starry-eyed because YES TenKyou. I'm DELIGHTED to know that's your preference because that's mine too for the ship asklhjkh

As for Todd and Prof Mirror, that's a tough and personal question, so good luck! (I'm thinking Todd topping's nice but does it make the prof kink better or not is the question!! ALSO in the french version, I know there's a line from Todd going like "Mirror was already being called Professor before he was a professor" so maybe he's not the only one with a prof kink, just from a different angle, hah)

(you say sorry for rambling, but joke's on you, I ramble too! Sorry for clustering your blog though woops Have a good day! (´･ω･`) )

rip, okay, once again i apologize about this one being even later, mostly bc i saw it early, but i haven't been able to sit down and respond to it. this week was the last week of the month so i actually had a lot to do at work and was able to go in every day (as opposed to 1 - 2 days bc business is still so slow). but at the end of the month i do invoicing for inventory charges for that month for each customer. though i was able to actually get a lot of it done sooner than usual (bc i actually started the process on tuesday instead of thursday), there were still three big ones i couldn't even do until thursday bc they had several orders in production that didn't get shipped until thursday. I was going to finally get to this ask on friday when i got home (we only work half days on friday and close at noon)… but the new gbf event had started… and uhg… a sho centric event. g od.

rest of the word vomit under the cut

before i just—IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ ABOUT THIS GBF RAMBLING FEEL FREE TO SKIP BELOW TO THE END THE GBF OF RAMBLE—this event askjdsjkdfslkdjsdjg talk about giving the antag his redemption art event. the emotional growth in sho. so many new assets to save… there are fricking 6 different versions of his character labeled _painful (_painful, _painful2, etc.), and like so many zoom in's that basically every one of his images has an _up version (the battle ones ((the ones of him on his gearcycle)) also have a bunch of _up2 versions that are zoomed in between the default and _up close up) anyways these in particular kill me.

sho "i'm-not-going-to-cry-or-show-expresions-of-gratitude" awkwardly smiling and crying in this event (while also repeatedly getting the shit kicked out of him/getting hurt. having a moment of breaking down from exhaustion and pain, in the rain, before deciding he has to swallow his pride. every single english word that comes out of his mouth, cv: taniyama kishou is a gift (on a side note i can't believe he fucking played alpha in chronostone. like thats fucking hilarious a va and voicalist capable of such range and drama voicing alpha and his serious monotone ass). Sho (@tsubasa): You showed me the light before—[…] Tsubasa: Wait, what? Whaddya mean I showed you the light? ((you mean when he punched you in the fucking face at the end of the previous event of this series?))). I mean I already shipped bc of the their last event, how can you not ship the guy screaming he's going to kill the protag w/the protag esp after getting punched in the face by the protag at the end makes him calm down and be like fine i guess you win i'm not going to try to kill you know and our gangs don't have to fight. also they're both like 16 (or at least tsubasa is canon 16 (a yeas totally looks like a 16 year old) and sho is at least still in school and at least confirmed to be a minor (not age of majority, which idk what that is exactly in universe, could be 18, could be 20, bc it is fantasy, but it's also japanese, thoguh japan's age of majority is actually lowering from 20 to 18 next april (2022), drinking/smoking/gambling age will still be 20, and the comment in this event was about we're still minors save the smoking for when you're an adult). sho could arguably be 18 or 19 and still believably in school and be considered a minor legally (if in universe gbf follows japanese laws) considering the time he spent in juvie he could easily have been held back. gbf will probably just make him tsubasa's age if a canon age is release. but thinking about sho being 19 and tsubasa being 16 would make some ppl upset and that brings me joy. (also just how funny it could be thinking about (bc everyone is perpetually the same age) how later when sho a year older and legally being able to drink, and tsubasa not, and despite the fact sho being like i will break the laws about physically assaulting a guy but underage drinking, smoking, and drugs is a no-no is fucking hilarious. (the app is rated t so i guess there's only so much you can do…) (oh and one last note, a character in the event asking if sho enjoys the pain and is a masochist, to have other character be like dude you can't just ask someone that. sho saying no he doesn't enjoy the pain. only for later when they are escaping, a character noting "You look rather happy about all this. Now I'm sure youre a masochist." gbf first crushing my sho masochist headcanon and then building it back up in this event, thank u gbf). anways, rip that was a lot and not even everything, as you can see i have been… distracted by this event. apologies

—END OF GBF RAMBLE—

oh god worry about ppl like that in ina like, there really people out there who don't want you shipping ficitional children?????? and the main ina cast is roughly between 12-15. and got i started watching ina in 2013 when i was 19. which apparently for some people is like bad uwu because it's a show for young teenagers (like lol too bad i'm 27 and even though i haven't kept up with aries i still love ina and all the little babies and wont stop shipping). i didn't even know there was people out there who get UPSET AT AGING UP??? like wtf???? sorry i want them to be old enough to marry, adopt children, have a job, and also f.uck. the dpk au is my lifeblood (and has a lot of Problematic™ content that's never even been posted online anywhere bc it used to be an rp. my favorite is that out of all the relationships in the au, tenma and kyousuke's is probably the most unhealthy bc of kyousuke's mental health. some very bad things happened to fei (per request of my rp partner) (part of vanfeny and garsha's revenge on saru as they were sent to megun while saru walks around ''free'' (what exactly is free is a whole other lore mess in itself that i wrote up about post chrono stone future). and that just lead to more bad things fei then did to himself. problematic™ content 9492347 in the dpk au, shipping ozrock and lalaya. (even worse, bc of lore planning i did for the au and decided how their species worked, lalaya is about 6.5 cycles (faram obius years) or roughly 130 earth years and biologically similar to 13 year earth years, and ozrock is about 48 Ixal years roughly 48 earth years and biologically similar to 24 earth years. so like even a worse ship. i mean just ignore cultural norms would be different on an alien planet and also she's royalty and has an obligation to be wed even younger and is probably socially more mature than a human 13 year old. rip sorry i just like alien stuff. a lot of this was also because wouldn't it be great for lalaya to have a really long lifespan so the human friends she makes get older faster and also die way before her :) ina's gunna hurt me with the bug aliens then i'm going to… continue to hurt myself with more alien life span stuff.)

Anyways, With TenKyou, idk I think it's easy to paint tenma as the innocent ~pure baby~ and kyousuke as ~bad boy~ bc of the first inago… and seed kyousuke was a little bastard man (affectionate). which would idk explain the default to kyouten. but like kyousuke chills the hell out in chrono stone and galaxy. and just bc tenma is a dumbass with a heart of gold obsessed with soccer doesn't necessarily mean he's has to be ~innocent baby 受け~ trope. (not that these are the only tropes that decide) (maybe it's bc i sort of like messing with what it must be like to be the main protagonists best friend and watch him continue to overcome everything and be in the spot light and how everyone praises him. kyousuke with self-esteem issues, looking back at all the problems he's caused, tenma has flaws but they're either negligible or something to love about him and mine have only hurt others. disregarding his own goddamn plot armor in the past. complex, emotional, suffering kyousuke is how i like my kyousuke. need we even get into how god eden was canonically revealed to be physically/mentally abusing seeds and that whole can of worms) (also just "nervous baby i don't know how to approach tenma" kyousuke, "cheeky little shit doesn't have any regards to personal space and boundries" tenma) at least if anyone starts giving me shit about an ina ship or problematic fictional ina content, i can always respond with something i drew back in 2015.

back to the matter of new snap though… that line is so familiar (im pretty sure it's in the eng txt, i have it set to jpn audio tho). i recently started keeping a log of the messages that pop up on the camp, lab, and map screens (but haven't saved too many bc i get distracted or at least i know i'm missing quite a few i have vague memories of). (also idk why my first thought to that line was mirror responding with "That was because you were the one calling me that.") there actually were a couple messages i saved initially that would be useful for fic writing:

Todd: "The professor used to be kinda reckless back in the day. I suppose after 10 year he must've calmed down a bit."

and

Mirror: "Todd's calmed down since I last saw him. Or maybe he's just acting mature because you kids are around…"

possible implications from these that I'm deciding to consider for headcanons:

both reckless and wild in their early 20's but that's not unusual, so they were acting like reckless young adults when they were 20. makes sense.

because mirror mentions the last time i saw him (which is definitely implied not 10 years ago since todd had a research team pin so obviously he's been around a bit since the lab was established) meaning todd is potentially still a chaotic bastard but is just trying to act like an adult in front of the kids. beautiful.

and on that note another wonderful Tood message:

Todd: "I never invited Phil to be my pupil—he just declared himself my "number one student" and started tagging along! But honestly…I was kind of flattered."

the possibility that when todd showed up in game, after that cutscene he went to talk to mirror like "this 10 year old just started following me and wont go away, pls help. what do i do?????"

this unsupervised 10 year old just followed a ~30 year old man into the wilderness and somehow just declares todd is mentor (and took the research team pin from todd to ''borrow''). this is a hostage situation. todd is the hostage.

the idea that perhaps todd just got back from a long expedition and was glad to be back and spend time with mirror, except this kid started following him around and wont leave him alone or go away, and then when he got to the lab there were two more kids there. how the fuck am i supposed to get it on with mirror when we have little alone time and when we finally do we're constantly at risk of being interrupted and/or walked-in on. (that last part was mainly the premise of the fic i wanted to write. "these kids are a handful how are we supposed to have intimate time. especially bc they're all so young and have child energy levels and when they go to bed i am already fucking exhausted." i'm thinking it might work better as like a drabble collection, that way i don't have to adhere to a plot line and can pick and choose scenarios to write because i keep winding up with more scenario ideas that i can nearly piece together into a coherent timeline anymore.)

(also a bit that rita becomes suspicious that they are 100% fu.cking even though all that happened was mirror wasn't asleep up in his bed above the lab and fell asleep in one of the bungalows w/todd and then tried to cover it up like haha what no, i was checking on todd he's not feeling well uh… what? where are my pants? oh. oh i can't believe i just totally got out of bed and left the lab without my pants haha.) (todd and mirror just trying to keep their relationship a secrete out of fear of rumors spreading and it affecting the lab's funding, even though rumors definitely started ages ago but neither of them realize). (also todd doesn't trust phil to keep his mouth shut and doesn't like the optics of the random 10 year old who started following him (UNSUPERVISED) just blabbing to his parents about how his cool mentor is dating the professor at the lab like yikes that could end badly worst case scenario.)

(i like the idea of mirror playing along with todd's ki.nk, albeit a little awkward sometimes (not very good at being intentionally 'sexy' about it, but that's not what todd wants anyways bc it's already inherenty sexy for him). Phill has a message "I barely get half the stuff the professor talks about. Do you?" and i can only image if he said that to todd

todd: （人*´∀｀）i know it's hot

phil: what)

anyways i hope you don't mind me rambling even more on your asks like this. last time i totally just cut chunks out to be smaller but this time… i'm going to leave things in rip.
