[puzzled-pegasus]

you guys wanna see a sketch of my pretty furry OC?

This is Royal, Royal Lassie. She's a collie dog. She works as a model and comedian. She's asexual and in a romantic relationship with a raccoon guy whose name I forgot :P

Fun facts: she did ballet, soccer, and track and field as a pup, she can play a little bit of guitar, and if she was in a TV show, she would be voiced by Iliza Shlesinger. Some of her main interests are clothes and shopping, and she likes to sun herself on the beach!

" Seem simple enough."

"  to  start,  what  is  your  first  name  and  what  city  are  we  in  ?  "

"Harold. Or Harry. And we are in the amazing New York City."

"  thank  you.  how  are  you  feeling  today  ?  "

"Just peachy. Had my morning beagle and coffee. I'm content."

"  understandable.  how  about  an  easier  one  -  what's  your  favourite  colour  ?  "

"It's been blue forever. But like a darker blue. I don't know the name, but let's just say dark blue."

"  and  your  favourite  film  genre ?  "

Harry lets out an airy chuckle. "Most people would say Superhero movies, with my track record but I want to make the record straight I do enjoy a good horror thriller."

"  let's  see  -  what  is  one  thing  you  wouldn't  be  found  without ?  "

"It is too "basic"- is that the term?" Harry laughs trying to understand these new terms being tossed around. "My phone. I'm always on it. Text, random Google searches during the day."

"  keeping  it  light,  what's  your  drink  of  choice  ?  "

"Whiskey on the rocks." "That's a lie." "Okay, okay. You got me. I'm kinda of a fruity drink kind of guy. Long Island Ice Tea is up there.

"Thanks. They are some projects that are close to my heart. Oh dogs 100%. I have a Collie, Quinn." Harry was quick to pull out his phone with his free hand. "This is the little guy."

"  personally,  i'm  a  dog  fan  anyday.  anything  else  you'd  like  to  add ?  "

"That this was fun. Only got one beep out of it. Gotta say that's a win."

"  well,  thank  you  so  much  for  joining  us  today  ​​​​​​​-  can't  ​​​​​​​wait  ​​​​​​​to  ​​​​​​​have  ​​​​​​​you  ​​​​​​​back  ​​​​​​​with  ​​​​​​​us  soon."

"Mary Colleen Concepta Murphy!"

A flurry of long dark hair and limbs were all Minnie Sheehan and James Murphy saw as they managed to finally open the door to their teenage daughter's bedroom. Them calling her full government name was all she heard. She stopped to blow a kiss to her very best friend in the whole world and she was off like a rocket down Cotter Street and away from everything she'd ever known. Somewhere behind her and to her right she heard Jimmy fire up the ancient station wagon and back out of the driveway. She continued to run out onto Smith street Jimmy following pushing her to double down and book it harder. The Reynolds' dog ran out in front of her causing her to twirl around it light on her feet, the station wagon inching towards her causing her heart to hammer harder. Out of the alley leading from the Tin Loon Chinese restaurant and the Speedy Cleaners she heard a familiar rumble the shot coated Ford that was driven by her

She had withdrawn all of her savings in her account and cashed out the CD Nana Murphy had gifted her. The love she felt for her family had been overshadowed by meeting her soulmate. Yes, she was well aware that they were young and the world was cruel but Jasper Emmett Kennedy felt like the safest place in the world. He was home. Wherever he went she vowed and wanted to follow. She had left a note explaining exactly why they had to leave. They had to take life by the horns and just go. As if merely the thought of him summoned him like angel from above, his grey shot coated Ford with flames on the hood pulled up further ahead. She had a promising future in track and field until she'd found out she'd been waitlisted by damn near every college she'd applied to. Why wait for a future that wasn't set in stone? Yes, she had loved running and was damn good at it but there was so much more to life than competing in sport and getting degrees. The fact that her guidance counselor thought she was a lost cause from an 'economically challenged' home didn't help her cause and her transcripts now sat in some filing cabinet in Charles S. Buckman High school collecting dust and showing in bold type that she had been an honors students all throughout her schooling. Life was more than scraping by and hoping that you were happy like Jimmy and Minnie ended up having to do. They had been the ones to tell her to follow her heart and follow her dreams and that there wasn't anything that she couldn't accomplish if she set her mind to it. So here she was, savings in a bank envelope, traveling light with the clothes she packed, her toothbrush and her stuffed tiger, Striper wrapped carefully in her baby blanket Minnie had made her. Her important papers were held in a ziplock to keep water out just in case Jasper's soft top leaked somewhere along the line.

"COLLY WAIT!"

Brakes squealed as Jimmy stopped the Murphy Mobile as Col called it, to a dead stop in the middle of the street. It was at the moment that Minnie's head popped out of the passenger side window.

"I love you both."

She blew them a kiss and took off down the street to where the Ford sat idling and all but leaped over the door to get into the passenger seat. Back home in what was once her bedroom with it's white wicker furniture and ballet slipper pink walls was a message written in Ruby Rouge lipstick were the words she had felt for a very long time.

"We were not born to drown."

She leaned over and kissed Jasper so hard she felt a squeak as lips crushed together in a frantic exchange of souls and breath.

"Call us if you need anything! We love you both!"

Was what passersby heard Minnie shout as Jimmy wrapped an arm around his wife's slight form as she waved teary eyed.

"You take care of our girl, Kennedy! Love you more...Love you more..."

For the first time since his daughter had come into the world James Patrick Murphy cried as he watched her spread her wings with a man that he knew was going to be rock solid...even if he was still a kid himself.

Hunter and Colli are go to ballet class

Greetings! Thank you for the request!

Drabble: Ballet

It was a quiet day in Gravesfield as the most inseparable pair of brothers had a ballet class together. The small starboy with otherworldly fluffy lavender hair and a heart of gold had a bright smile on his adorable multi-colored face.

Colli didn't only have a lot of fun, Hunter's greatest treasure was absolutely graceful! The young Grimwalker's magenta eyes were filled to the brim with love and adoration for him. 'He is so beautiful.' Hunter thought as he glanced affectionately at the kindhearted eternal little boy.

Speaking of Colli, the immortal celestial boy was so excited that he started to float. He was dance floating. Colli levitated Hunter up to him and took softly his beloved big brother's hands. The former Golden Guard pulled him close to his chest.

TOP O’ TH’ WORLD

1907 - 1908

Top O’ Th’ World is a musical by Mark E. Swan with music by Manuel Klein and Anna Caldwell and lyrics by James O’Dea, featuring songs with lyrics by Joseph W. Herbert. It was originally produced by J.M. Allison, staged by Frank Smithson, and choreographed by William Rock and Signor Luigi Albertieri.

The story concerns Maida, a little girl who finds herself mysteriously transplanted to the workshop of Kris Kringle near the city of Illusia. There is a love story in which a near discoverer of the North Pole resolves to find it, if only to rescue a maiden who has been frozen by Jack Frost at the command of Aurora Borealis, Queen of the Northern Lights. Guided by Kankakee, an Eskimo, and his little daughter Kokomo, the entire party proceeds to Illusia, accompanied by The Candy Kid and The Jack in the Box, who were brought to life in Kris Kringle’s  workshop, and who are paired up as travelling companions of the Friendly Bear.

The show was designed to appeal to both young people and their parents. The variety musical included:

The Collie Dog Ballet - “8 captivating, whirling misses and almost-human dancing dogs.”

The Candy Kid 

The Intelligent Bear ~ Kathleen Clifford and Arthur Hill as ‘Maida and the Friendly Bear’

Jack Frost

The Heart of Fairyland

In the Land of Christmas

The Top of the World - Santa’s Workshop

The Spring Time of Love

"By the sun that burns throughout the day and the moon that shines at night by the great caciques of the past and the present, by the rivers that flow through northern forests, and the rivers where the hunted deer doth quench his thirst, by all the brave and the true in Eskimo history, I bid you welcome this day in the beautiful month of the seasons to witness little Kokomo." ~ KOKOMO the ESKIMO (Anna Laughlin)

The musical opened in Toronto at the New Alexandria Theatre on August 26, 1907. It then moved to Buffalo NY, Rochester NY, Detroit MI, Cincinnati OH, 

On October 16, 1907, Top O’ Th’ World played Young’s Pier in Atlantic City. [Although this newspaper suggests the play tried out at Young’s Pier in Atlantic City, the newspapers there do not list any such performance on these dates.]

Top O’ Th’ World opened on Broadway on October 19, 1907 at the Majestic Theatre (5 Columbus Circle at 59th Street). The Majestic had previously housed the family-friendly hits The Wizard of Oz and Babes in Toyland. Anna Loughlin, who plays Kokomo the Eskimo Princess in The Top O’ Th’ World, returned to the Majestic where she had played Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz. Arthur Hill (the Bear) was her Cowardly Lion. 

About the Venue: The Majestic was built in 1903, one of the first theatres by Columbus Circle, which was expected to become another theatre district. It went through many name changes and owners until 1923, when William Randolph Hearst took over, changed the policy to cinema, and renamed it the Cosmopolitan. It was torn down in 1954 to allow for wider sidewalks in front of the New York Coliseum.

George Munroe cross-dressed to played the role of Aurora Borealis, Queen of the Northern Lights, in the style of a pantomime dame. 

On February 3, 1908, the show moved to the Casino Theatre (1404 Broadway at 39th Street) where it closed on February 22, 1908 after 156 performances. 

“’The Top O’ Th’ World’ is a bit of stage-jelly with powdered sugar spiced mildly with peppermint and wintergreen.” ~ INTERNATIONAL PRESS ASSOCIATION

Frost King (aka Dolly Dimples) is at large in the big city! 

The first week in December, a new song titled “Dinah” was added to the show. It was also announced that the production had arranged ‘closed automobiles’ to transport groups of 25 children or more to the theatre for free. To accommodate holiday audiences, the production offered daily matinees. 

“On Christmas Day a Santa Claus will distribute dolls to the little girls of the audience who are so fortunate as to draw tickets for them. Two dolls, of life size, are among the prizes in this ingenious lottery - these being described as ‘made in France, of the finest material and dressed for the occasion’."

The doll promotion was so successful it was continued at all Wednesday matinees. 

~ Fun and Feast for ‘Top o’ th’ World’ ~ 

“After last night's performance of ‘The Top o' th' World’ at the Majestic Theatre there was yet another performance for the benefit of the company only. A small stage had been built under the regular stage, and on this various members of the company made fun for the rest. Sam Diamond indulged in recitations from Shakespeare and George W. Monroe and Catherine Clifford were also on the program. Then Manager J.M. Allison and his wife treated the entire organization to a beefsteak dinner. Congressman and Mrs. James W. Rhlnock of Ohio Joined In the festivities” ~ January 1, 1908

About the Venue: The Casino Theatre was  built in 1882 for light musicals and operetta, but showed mostly vaudeville starting in 1892.  A 1905 fire necessitated much reconstruction. In February of 1930, the theatre was demolished to make room for the expanding garment district.

In an attempt to keep the show fresh producers staged a song contest. There were no winners except the show, which got free publicity from the stunt. 

After closing at the Casino on February 22nd, The Top o' th' World went on the road, opening with Philadelphia on February 24th, then visiting Baltimore, Washington, Boston, and stopping in Atlantic City. 

Top O’ Th’ World opened in Atlantic City at the Apollo Theatre on the Boardwalk on April 16, 1908. The theatre was supposed to host Miss Marlowe during this time, but her engagement was canceled. 

In 1910, the play morphed into The Top O’ Th’ World Dancers, extracting the more popular acts (including the Collie Ballet) into a variety / vaudeville production.

Caplan Family Facts

Just another reminder that I’m hosting an art raffle! Be sure to check out the original post here!

Okay now onto the Family Facts!

Few years after graduating from Hogwarts, Veruca now works as an Auror while Diego is a dance instructor. Diego preferably teaches Latin dances, such as Salsa, Merengue, Bachata and Samba. He sometimes brings Veruca along to be his dance partner so she can learn another style of dance. But he mainly just likes being close to her.

Diego managed to achieve his goal in becoming a dueling champion. He keeps his medals and trophies on a shelf in their home's dueling room rather than in the family room.

Since Diego wanted daughters, he had the honor of naming them, but Veruca chose their middle names. And since Veruca wanted a son, she chose his name and let Diego choose his middle name. Mari's middle name is Áine (Awn-ya), Cari's middle name is Rowan and Ruairí's middle name is Zacarías.

Marisol and Carina are two years apart. Mari was born on the 7th of October and Cari was born on the 2nd of February. And Ruairí is the youngest of the three, his birthday is August 24th.

Mari has Veruca's eyes and her hair is the same shade of brown as Veruca's. While Cari takes after Diego more, having his eye and hair color. And Ruairí is the spitting image of Veruca.

Mari's godparents are Coby and Badeea. Cari's godparents are Felix and Skye. Ruairí's godparents are Chiara and Barnaby.

Diego spoils his children despite Veruca telling him not to. He never listens as he always buys them new toys whenever he comes home from work. He ended up having to buy a new toy chest for them too. This still carries on to the girls' teen years as he always gets them things they enjoy, mystery thriller books for Mari and CDs or vinyl records for Cari.

Since Veruca used to make plushies of her friends, she made one for each of her children. Each of them have their own type of plushie. Ruairí's plushie is a little brown round bear with a witch's hat, he's never seen without it. Mari's plushie is a wooly baby sheep and Cari's own is a rabbit. The girls still have it even in their teen years. Mari has her plushie sitting on her bookshelf and Cari's own is on her vanity desk. 

The Caplan family are close to the Khanna family. The girl's wands were custom made to suit their personality.

Cari takes after her father a whole lot more than she does her mother. She picked up on how to flirt from Diego, but he's against the idea of his little girls dating anyone. Her love for jean jackets and scarves has also come from Diego. Cari actually has a collection of each article of clothing. Although Cari does take after her mother in the sensitive side where she's moved by emotions very easily. She also speaks in a casual manner much like her mother, however she uses a lot of slang and laughs at bad puns. She also doesn't care about her reputation, or at least, is unaware of how she's perceived by others.

Mari on the other hand is a bit similar to Veruca, mainly on the mischievous side, often teasing others and sometimes causing them to get flustered. She's known to scare her sister even with just a smile. She's a mature young girl and a little mysterious with an all knowing vibe to her. Sometimes her parents aren't even sure what goes on in her mind. Despite her gentle look, she is not to be taken lightly, she isn't called the "she-devil" for nothing. Although her style in fashion is mostly bright colors, she has picked up on the long sleeves and stockings from her mother. She also started wearing corset belts.

Ruairí is a very shy and curious child. He often hides behind his sisters' or parents' legs. Ruairí is a mama's boy. He's always following his mother around the house, from the family room to the kitchen to the bedroom. His sisters and father started calling him "Mama's Tail" because of it. 

Being a dance instructor, Diego taught his daughters how to dance as well. He taught them more of the latin dances. Veruca also taught them both contemporary and classical ballet. Mari favored classical ballet while Cari favored contemporary ballet.

When it comes to teaching the girls how to duel, Veruca and Diego would take turns giving them lessons. Diego focused on their dueling etiquette, showing them the proper stance, reminding them to bow before a match and how to properly hold their wands.

Veruca on the other hand, focuses on teaching them actual spells. Spells that cause the most damage, i.e. bombarda (maxima). Before they had their own dueling room built in, their dueling lessons were held outside. Veruca often lets her daughters go overboard with the casting that they would end up blasting a hole through the wall of their living room, giving Diego a heart attack.

They own two pets. One is Gambat, he's been Veruca's pet since she was young. Despite constantly sassing Veruca and Diego, he's a loyal bat and would look after the kids. Their other pet is a collie named Pesky. For a small dog, he's very active. Pesky's always running around, sometimes running into the shelves or wall and knocking stuff down. The mess aside, the family loves having him. Gambat and Pesky have a Pinky and the Brain dynamic.

Some nights they play a game where everyone speaks only in Spanish or Irish Gaelic. One night it will be Spanish the other it would be Irish Gaelic, other nights it will be both. Anyone who speaks English loses. Some times the game continues on to the next day since Veruca and Mari are a bit competitive. Both Veruca and Diego find the game to be a good and fun way for their kids to learn their languages.

Veruca and Diego try so hard not to swear in front of their kids so they always say it in their mother tongue. But thanks to the game, the kids pick up on it fast and tattletell on one parent to the other.

Being both an interracial and an interfaith family, Veruca being a Catholic Irish and Diego being a Jewish Hispanic, they celebrate holidays from both sides of the family. Sometimes they merge Christmas and Hanukkah.

Veruca is the one in the family to get rid of the bugs. Although Diego's main fear of butterflies isn't as great as when he was younger. But his best friends were Jae and Carson, and the two can be ruthless when it comes to pranking Diego. The things they put him through, has caused him to hide behind Veruca whenever he sees a giant bug in the house. Mari and Ruairí have picked up on the fear of bugs.

Family is a big importance to Diego, he always plans dinner parties, inviting both his family and Veruca's own along with some of their friends, so they can all get together and enjoy quality time with each other. They also take family photos. One photo of Veruca's family, the other of Diego's, one of the grandparents and grandkids, and then one of Diego and Veruca's own family. Sometimes the children will get their own group photo.

Mari is a decent dueler and flyer but her main skills excels in tarot reading and fortune telling. Cari has a fear of heights, so flying isn't her best quality. She however, like both her parents, is an excellent dueler, being able to learn a new spell fairly quickly and cast it with ease. Ruairí has shown some cases of casting accidental magic. Veruca wouldn't let him have a cookie until after dinner, and Ruairí was silently brooding over it, the entire plate of cookies was sent flying right past him and hit the wall.

BACKGROUND

Elizabeth Shea was born on September 30, 1929. Soon after, she was adopted by the affluent Sarah and John Beckett. 

Despite being raised through the Great Depression, the Beckett family was left all but untouched by financial pitfalls. They would often take part in celebrations at the Ritz, or engage in other luxurious activities. As she got older, Shea would develop a sense of guilt over her family’s excessive wealth. Such feelings would intensify with the start of WWII; living through that, and seeing all the horrors that came with it, left her humbled. 

After she graduated Trinity School, Shea decided to go on to college. It wasn’t out of the pursuit of advanced education that she made this decision. It was to prolong the inevitable; her engagement to a man of her parents’ choice. She went on to go to Barnard College, with a focus on the arts. Despite her motives, she enjoyed her time there greatly. Unfortunately, it had to come to an end.

Upon graduation from college, Shea was introduced to a fellow member of the upper crust, Clarence Walker. They dated for two years, despite Shea’s trepidation, and eventually got engaged. Their engagement was put off for as long as possible before they were finally wed on March 17th, 1955. 

Shea escaped the reception for a moment, and when she walked out onto the terrace, she ended up in Sage Lake. 

OTHER

The Becketts put their children through a lot of classes, such as ballet, piano, etc. None of them really stuck with Shea. She had developed an interest in art, specifically clothing design. Sewing is where her true passion came through; actually bringing the idea together into something tangible was undeniable.

She’s really good with her hands; creating, repairing, building things. She loves that.

She never succeeded with ballet, but she’s still a pretty good dancer.

Except a select few, no one knows her full name. From the moment she stepped into Sage Lake, she’s been known as Shea Beckett.

TV Guide - April 30 - May 6, 1960

June Lockhart (born June 25, 1925)  Actress, primarily in 1950s and 1960s television, also with performances on stage and in film. On two television series she played mother roles, Lassie and Lost in Space. She also portrayed Dr. Janet Craig on the CBS television sitcom Petticoat Junction (1968–70).

In 1955, Lockhart appeared in an episode of CBS's Appointment with Adventure. About this time, she also made several appearances on NBC's legal drama Justice, based on case files of the Legal Aid Society of New York.  In the late 1950s, Lockhart guest-starred in several popular television Westerns including: Wagon Train and Cimarron City (in the episode "Medicine Man" with Gary Merrill) on NBC and Gunsmoke, Have Gun – Will Travel, and Rawhide on CBS.

In 1958, she was the narrator for  Playhouse 90 's telecast of the George Balanchine version of Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker, featuring Balanchine himself as Drosselmeyer, along with the New York City Ballet.

Lockhart is best known for her roles as TV mothers, first as Ruth Martin, the wife of Paul Martin (portrayed by Hugh Reilly), and the mother of Timmy Martin (played by Jon Provost) in the 1950s CBS series Lassie (a role that she played from 1958 to 1964). She replaced actress Cloris Leachman, who, in turn, had replaced Jan Clayton – who had played a similar character earlier in the series. Following her five-year run on Lassie Lockhart made a guest appearance on Perry Mason as defendant Mona Stanton Harvey in "The Case of the Scandalous Sculptor."  Lockhart then starred as Dr. Maureen Robinson in Lost in Space, which ran from 1965 to 1968 on CBS, opposite veteran actors Guy Williams and Jonathan Harris.

In 1965, Lockhart played librarian Ina Coolbrith, first poet laureate of California, in the episode "Magic Locket" of the syndicated western series, Death Valley Days, hosted by Ronald W. Reagan. In the storyline, Coolbrith develops a tenuous friendship with the teenaged "Dorita Duncan" (Kathy Garver), later the dancer Isadora Duncan. The two have identical portions of a broken locket. Sean McClory (who also played her husband in the Perry Mason episode) played the poet Joaquin Miller, author of Songs of the Sierras.

Lockhart would then appear as Dr. Janet Craig on the final two seasons of the CBS sitcom Petticoat Junction (1968–1970), her character being brought in to fill the void created after Bea Benaderet died during the run of the show; she was a regular in the ABC soap opera General Hospital during the 1980s and 1990s, and was also a voice actor, providing the voice of Martha Day, the lead character in the Hanna-Barbera animated series These Are the Days on ABC during the 1970s.

Lockhart appeared as a hostess on the "Miss USA Pageant" on CBS for six years, the "Miss Universe Pageant" on CBS for six years, the "Tournament of Roses Parade" on CBS for eight years and the "Thanksgiving Parade" on CBS for five years.

In 1986, she appeared in the fantasy film, Troll.  The younger version of her character in that film was played by her daughter, Anne Lockhart. They had previously played the same woman at two different ages in the "Lest We Forget" episode of the television series Magnum, P.I. (1981). In 1991, Lockhart appeared as Miss Wiltrout, Michelle Tanner's kindergarten teacher on the TV sitcom Full House. She also had a cameo in the 1998 film Lost in Space, based on the television series she had starred in thirty years earlier. In 2002, she appeared in two episodes of The Drew Carey Show as Lewis's mother, Misty Kiniski, alongside fellow TV mom Marion Ross, who played Drew's mother.

In 2004, she voiced the role of Grandma Emma Fowler in Focus on the Family's The Last Chance Detectives audio cases. Lockhart starred as James Caan's mother in an episode of Las Vegas in 2004. Lockhart has since guest-starred in episodes of Cold Case and Grey's Anatomy,  (Wikipedia)

Some TodoDeku AUs

Have some small notes about some AUs I’ve thought of while watching depressing documentaries at work during the week. Some of these are ideas I’m probably going to expand upon in the form of fics, but others of them are just ideas that could be fun to play around with. Putting it under a ‘Read More’ to save space for those scrolling through with no interest.

YouTuber AU: Todoroki Shouto and his band are a popular YouTube staple, known for their covers of popular music from film, television and even video games. Midoriya Izuku and his best friends, Uraraka Ochako and Iida Tenya, run a YouTube channel dedicated to cosplay and tutorials on how to make your own cosplay gear. The two meet when they’re both invited as special guests at a convention in the next city over.

Bakeneko AU: Following a difficult break up, Midoriya Izuku encounters a small, hurt kitten in the alleyway by his complex. Feeling sorry for the poor little thing, he decides to take the kitten home and nurse it back to health. Plus, maybe then his apartment won’t feel quite so empty and lonely. The only catch? Turns out this cat is actually a feline demon prince named Todoroki Shouto, sent past the veil of his world to apprehend a fugitive. And it would seem that Todoroki has decided that Midoriya, for his kindness, will be repaid by being Todoroki’s bride.

Soulmate AU #1: All humans are born colorblind. At the ages of four, seven and ten, though, they gain the ability to see one color at a time each of those years, totaling out at three colors until the day they finally fall in love with their soulmate. Todoroki Shouto resents that, of all things in his life, he can always focus on the reds, oranges and yellows of fire, resigned that his soulmate most likely has a flame-based Quirk. Midoriya Izuku forces himself to not think of how he can see all the colors of his tormentors explosions as he comes for him, but on how lush reds, oranges and yellows dye the sky at dawn and dusk.

Bakery AU: Todoroki Shouto has very few pleasures in life, but one of them is visiting Moonie-Eyed Rabbit Pastries for a drink, a treat and some peace while doing his schoolwork. After all, they have the best cinnamon rolls in the whole city. And if ogling the owner's sunny-smiled son, Midoriya Izuku, is another reason for him to come in? Well, that's between him and whatever force dictates the rules of the universe.

Persona-esque AU: Not sure what else to call this, since it was inspired by the idea of changing a person's cognition ala Persona 5, but it strays Hella far from that. In this world, Quirks are the Personas themselves though still called Quirks and take beast-like forms, and Heros are just Persona Users assigned to maintain the natural world order. Midoriya still inherits from All Might, and basically UA is just a school dedicated to training Persona users to properly use their powers in the world of cognition. 

Doggies AU: The Todoroki family are renowned dog breeders and dog show champions. The youngest of the family, Shouto, has encountered a small problem; his pedigree border collie, Sakura, is a bit on the disobedient side of things. Desperate to get a handle on things but not have his father find out, he decides to secretly take her to a local pet stores training classes. The last thing he expects is for the trainer, Midoriya Izuku, to be the living embodiment of everything good in the world.

Ghost AU: After a near death experience, Midoriya Izuku gains the ability to see and speak with ghosts. He begins trying to help the spirits move on, seizing this as a chance to help others in a meaningful way. Enter the ghost of one Todoroki Touya, a snarky ass with a rather tall order for Midoriya. His final wish? For his dysfunctional family to find some sense of unity and peace.

Soulmate AU #2: In a world of soulmates and Quirks, the two are tethered to one another. When a child's Quirk manifests, a small mark appears on their soulmate's wrist to indicate what that Quirk could be. For Midoriya Izuku, he is puzzled by the snowflake and small flame on his right and left wrists respectively. For Todoroki Shouto, the empty space on either of his wrists is just an indicator that the universe won't give him any comfort. Though, things get interesting when Shouto turns 15 and is accepted into UA, when a small globe appears on his right wrist.

Pirate AU: When Todoroki Shouto was only six, his mother and older siblings were whisked away by the dreaded Pirate Lord All Might. He swears vengeance for the lose of his family, climbing the military ranks under the miserable and harsh training of his father, Admiral Todoroki. On the evening of his 23rd birthday, at an extravagant celebration, he finds himself face to face with All Might's crew, under the guidance of a new captain called Deku. He finds himself kidnapped and dragged aboard the vessel and into the shenanigans of the crew, learning that not everything he has been taught is true.

Investigators AU: In which Midoriya Izuku and Kirishima Eijirou are two of the most successful and decorated police detectives in their unit. Todoroki Shouto and Bakugou Katsuki are two prosecutors for the government. The two attorneys are also the exhausted boyfriends of the two detectives. These are their stories. Dun dun.

And here are two Lesbian!TodoDeku AUs!

Roommates AU: To keep his youngest daughter from "doing something stupid" like "sleeping around and getting knocked up", Todoroki Enji decides to ship her off to a private, girls-only college. Jokes on him, though, because Todoroki Shouko is a Distinguished Lesbian. Wacky shenanigans follow as she adjusts to living in a dorm building with a bunch of other girls, as well as learning how to share a room with a girl like Midoriya Izumi.

Dancer/ Caretaker AU: Midoriya Izumi is a private babysitter, sought after by many high profile clients for her compassionate, bubbly nature. Her favorite clients are the Aizawa's, whose daughter Eri is a delight. When Eri decides to join a dance class, Izumi is delighted, since it'll be a good chance for her to make friends. Enter Todoroki Shouko, the seemingly frigid dance instructor with incredible talent with those ballet slippers, and certainly out of Izumi's league. But there's no harm for just looking, right?

Colli Luz, and Hunter learn ballet together.

Hello! Thank you for the request!

Drabble: The Ballet Lesson

It was a sunny day in Gravesfield. A certain kindhearted celestial boy with otherworldly fluffy lavender hair was learning ballet with his siblings Luz and Hunter. Colli had a lot of fun. He had a bright smile on his sweet face.

The best part? Since Colli accidentally revealed himself in front of the teacher to be magical, he didn't have to hold back! The teacher was in awe as the starboy gracefully floated through the room. "Bravo, Colli! Bravo!" She said.

The End

Mat Barzal Dating A Dancer Would Include

You met Mat at a coffee shop, away from both of your professions.

There was flirting and he got your number.

You didn’t know he was a hockey player and he didn’t know you were a dancer until your first date.

And then you guys started dating and Mat got advice from Beau to keep things more under the radar, especially considering he was a big name in hockey at the moment and you were a big name in dance, so your relationship would be kept a secret for a long time, longer than people would assume possible.

You watch all of his games that you can and send him texts about how good the game/he was, even if it was a bad game.

(Wearing his jersey or sweater when you watch his games.)

He really appreciated always having a nice message to see after a game, especially if it was a particularly bad game.

If it isn’t too late for either of you, he calls you after the game and talks to you about it.

Texting each other every day.

And Snapping each other all the time.

(He’s totally a guy that wants to keep the streaks going, total slave to the flame).

(Dirty Snaps too. Lots of dirty Snaps).

Spending at least an hour on the phone several times a week when you guys are apart.

You wear a lot of Islanders gear and are open about them being your favourite team and no one had a clue that all that time you were dating their number one centre.

(Though, people were a little surprised you weren’t into the Rangers since you worked for the New York Ballet).

Mat totally watches videos of you from your performances online when he’s on the road.

(His teammates, *cough couch* Beau, tease him about how much he watches them).

(His teammates also “try” to dance on the ice—doing pirouettes and stuff—whenever you come to practice, which makes Mat roll his eyes).

Mat also tries to teach you hockey.

He brings you to all the family skates and onto the ice after practice, wanting you to know how to skate and play hockey.

You may fail at the hockey part, but you’re both smiling the whole time so it’s a win.

You go to all of his home games in Brooklyn and try to see the ones at the Colli that you can, always happy to support him.

And Mat goes to all of your performances that he can, always dressed in his best suit, wanting to support his best girl.

Such a good, supportive, relationship.
