she's 15 days old

she's also kind of ditzy

its okay!! you guys can figure things out together

and by together i mean that 99% of the time she's gonna ask clawdeen

CLEO DE NILE

sometimes she gets kind of annoyed but its like an eye roll and explain kind of annoyed

a long sigh and she's like "okay so"

she loves you though!!

if anyone else tries to get annoyed by your ditziness she's going to [get someone else to] beat them up

DRACULAURA

another ditzy girl!!!

she's such a sweetheart she'll be like "oh no its okay!! i think its..."

she'll try to explain but then get fed up and ask frankie, who asks clawdeen

CLAWD WOLF

he's kind of like deuce and clawdeen

he's pretty chill about it but he'll get really protective on occasion

type of guy to always have an arm around you or something like that ESPECIALLY if you're somewhere crowded

kind of bad at explaining things but he'd try his best before he gives up and asks clawdeen

CLAWDEEN WOLF

oh she adores you

her best friends are also kind of ditzy so she's used to it

ask her to explain anything and she probably has a preprepared explanation bc 9 times out of 10 drac or frankie have already asked

LAGOONA BLUE

if you ask her anything she'd be like "oh its alright, love, its..."

she's such a sweetheart

if anyone tried to make fun of you she's immediately like "hey no we're not gonna do that" and chews them out <3

[t1oui]

thinking about how living w regulus would affect harry like

he's such a fucking snob about everything. food, decor, fashion, you name it, he's got opinions on it.

he does ballet despite being the least graceful person on the planet. he's somehow pretty good at it, likely out of spite

speaks french

very much a cat person, has a cat named leo who is his baby

like yk how james and sirius are extremely codependent? that's how harry is w leo. both of them can not handle being apart from each other too long

reads a lot of stories

thinks seeker is the best quidditch position

on that note, lots of slytherin house pride. james hates it. harry refuses to put any gryffindor decorations up in his room

harry loves taking pictures just like reg so the house is filled with photographs

and ofc harry is snobby about what types of cameras he uses thanks to reg. james now just lets them deal with the cameras & photography stuff bc he's scared to get the wrong thing lol

harry is taller than reg but bc dysphoria all of reg's old clothes (like quidditch jerseys + hoodies and stuff) are his size so half his wardrobe is from reg's hogwarts days

definitely the type of guy to change his bedding & curtains & everything in his room based on the season. will anybody actually be in there other than him and his parents? not really, but he MUST redecorate

idk what this even means but snobby about candles. this is another thing james is scared to buy him

harry and reg speak french w each other more than english

since james doesn't speak french w harry (i hc he's only comfortable speaking it w reg) harry is used to having a conversation in two different languages so sometimes he'll be speaking french w his friends without noticing

he'll be in the middle of a rant and realize they don't understand a thing he's saying lol

reg and harry control the decorating for every holiday, every birthday, etc.

the one thing harry knows how to do that reg doesn't/reg didn't teach him is cooking. reg never cooked for himself as a child so james was the one who taught him

doesn't look like it most of the time but all of harry's clothes are very expensive... did i mention he's a snob

harry is such a dry texter/writer... he's such a dick about grammar when it comes to writing even tho he can barely string a sentence together when speaking

deeply sarcastic (look! a canon detail! we never thought we'd see that on this account, did we?)

will take his partners on the most expensive dates & whatnot like it's nothing... cedric the farmboy™️ is not prepared

writes sad boy poetry when he gets annoyed w someone... like harry will storm off all pissed and then he comes back 20 mins later with a beautifully written, very angry poem for whoever made him mad

has so many clothes & different curtains and bedding sets for different seasons that he also uses the closet in the guest room (reg takes up 99% of his and james's closet for the same reason)

has an inherent hatred of fake plants

bedroom is simultaneously tidy and so messy a hurricane might as well have come through

leaves a book behind everywhere he goes

secretly the worst sense of humor lmao

he may not have gotten his love of drawing/painting from regulus, but you def see reg in the way he is, you guessed it, a massive snob about art supplies

soooo indecisive. redoes his room at least twice a year

an asshole when he gets less than 10 hours of sleep... he's mildly tolerable after 3 cups of coffee (black, of course) but you might as well just ignore him until he gets a nap in

on that note is very good at making coffee and is, drum roll please, a massive snob about it. who would've guessed (somebody count how many times i've said snob in this post and comment it please and thank you)

if he doesn't like a gift he's horrible at pretending he's happy w it so people usually go through reg whenever they buy him something... this goes both ways too, people go through harry when buying something for reg

is visually james and lily's but in personality is really just reg's (and also lily's... he definitely inherited his spite from her lol)

is a crazy cat lady by age 20

at least 10 pictures of leo in his room... he has whole photoshoots for her and she poses for them

might as well not hang out w harry at his house bc he'll make out with his cat the whole time

loves going to art museums w regulus

he's a, surprise surprise, snob about art. james just doesn't comment on art altogether atp

his vocabulary is a weird mashup of french, english, and hindi that makes it very hard for anybody who doesn't know him well to understand what he's saying lol

looks angry until he smiles (he got this from lily but a life with reg has perfected it)

needs a golden retriever to his black cat in any given relationship (enter cedric and cho) (yes i'm going to push my rarepair on everyone reading this)

tl;dr being raised by/living w regulus has turned harry into a massive snob about literally everything and regulus is proud of it (blink twice if you need help, james)

[shiki-aki]

I'm not sure if this is mentioned anywhere ingame but do you think Shiki was a virgin before the events of his route (the whole kidnapping & rape)?

Cause… I can't imagine the dude having sex with anyone other than Akira lmao. He's definitely not a serial rapist either. But at the same time he seemed to know what he was doing..? So it's like ehh.

Sorry if this is super random LOL I just wanted to see your thoughts on it!

Hot take but I like to think that Shiki was a virgin, not because there's actually any evidence for it, but like you, I also can't imagine Shiki wanting to have sex with anyone but Akira LMAO.

People assume that Shiki is a serial rapist just because he raped Akira and threatened to commit necrophilia, but based on what we see in the drama CD + manga, there's no sufficient evidence to support this. If Shiki (presumably) likes to rape people because he gets off on feeling powerful, how come we don't see him raping any of the Igra thugs? The whole time, Shiki's focused on his goal of finding Nano/killing Rein users, and not once does sexual arousal seem to cross his mind or influence his actions.

I don't think it's a matter of physical attraction either. Shiki doesn't ever comment about Akira's physical appearance (aside from his eyes), so I don't think it's a case of Shiki finding Akira hot enough to fuck, but not wanting to fuck Igra thugs because they're ugly lmao.

I just don't see what reason Shiki would have for having sex with anyone. He clearly despises 99% of the population, and not once does he seemed inclined to have sex anyone that isn't Akira lol. The only reason he kidnaps and rapes Akira in the first place is because he didn't want to kill Akira. Shiki has no problem killing literally everyone else (cough Rin especially lmao), and Akira is the only exception to this principle, so why would he rape people instead of just killing them outright? Plus, the way Shiki ends up developing an emotional attachment to Akira through sex makes me think that Shiki is also "inexperienced" when it comes to sex lol. If he has a lot of sexual experience and partners in the past, then why did he fall for Akira so easily instead of keeping Akira at arm's length?

I don't really like the idea that a dominant person like Shiki must have some previous sexual experience because he "knows what he's doing." It's trying to apply real world logic to a fictional character lol. I think Shiki's dominant nature during sex is tied more into his natural affinity for dominance and power. His confidence and domineering personality comes from his firm belief/conviction in absolute strength, and of course it would influence his role in the bedroom.

It's all up to headcanon/interpretation so it doesn't really matter in the end. But I don't think there's any evidence to support that Shiki is sexually experienced and has had partners in the past. Most of it boils down to people just assuming Shiki is sexually experienced because of the BDSM elements in his route, but none of this is textually supported by the narrative. It's people just trying to apply real world logic to it.

It's the same with the serial rapist thing. People know that rapists in real life get off to wielding power over someone/feel entitled to sex, so they assume this about Shiki's character despite it blatantly contradicting the text. Shiki was more interested in making Akira regain his will to live/fight back against him, which is why he's pleased when Akira refuses to submit. And like, I don't think Shiki was raping Akira because he wanted sex from him lol. Again, if it was just about sexual arousal and raping for the sake of pleasure, why aren't we shown Shiki raping random Igra thugs? Shiki raping Akira is intrinsically tied to the tug-of-war dynamic between them in this fictional story and has nothing to do with the psychology of real life rapists.

Real life rapists also like the nonconsensual aspect and some of them even admit that they don't like sex when the victim seems to "want" it, because for rapists, the whole point is the lack of consent. I don't think Shiki falls under this umbrella. He's clearly fine having sex with Akira in ED3 when Akira wants it, and presumably in ED2 as well. And of course in ED1, Shiki and Akira have a healthier relationship and would probably engage in fully consensual sex. Again, I feel like the rape scenes in Shiki's route aren't about Shiki's pleasure/ego, but about Akira and his reactions.

Don't apologize for asking, it was a really interesting question! But yeah I think I'm the odd one out in believing that Shiki doesn't actually have any sexual experience, firsthand at least. It's possible he saw victims being raped and tortured during his time fighting in war, but I don't think Shiki ever partook in those acts himself. Again, he seems very disgusted with 99% of humanity, so I can't see why Shiki would go out of his way to have close, physical (and emotional) contact with anyone. Akira is clearly meant to be an exception because of Shiki's unprecedented feelings for him.

(but also, I'm partial to the idea that Shiki is a virgin because idk I just think it emphasizes even more how significant and special Akira is to him. so my answer is biased as fuck lmao)

SORRY FOR THE LONG RESPONSE LMAO.... literally everyone I talk to thinks Shiki is sexually experienced and I'm the only one who thinks he's a virgin

[maxdibert]

I just came from your last update and damn!

I think the best thing about your writing is that you know how to make a character. People usually believes that when one hates a character, that makes them a bad character. That's simply not true.

For example, I think y/n is a great character precisely because I can't stand her! She's a privileged brat who doesn't understand boundaries or rejection (which is very clear on the first chapters when she won't leave Snape alone), has 0 empathy (the whole 9/11 situation and how her first thought was take advantage of it) and is so, so stubborn that a 99% of the time I'm reading I'm just thinking "please shut the f up". She seems so real, like, she's literally just a rich privileged girl. Which is amazing, I'm tired of all these OC's and Y/N that are soooo perfect. Always good, always doing their best. Writers don't realise that is ok to make a non-likeable character.

Anyways, as much as I can't stand her, I still have some love for her (at the end of the day, she's the main character and is very difficult not get attached). I don't think I'd say she's a functional psychopath, she still have feelings like love and is not a functional person at all LMAO, but there's definitely some lack of chemicals on that brain (she's so real for that).

Love the fic, love her interaction with Snape (great idea to give him a partner that is way more fucked up than him). Snape is also very real (the whole "she's unbearable but I wanna f*ck her so bad" dilemma is very funny to read) and I think is one of those few fics that actually portrait the real Snape.

Keep going, I'm a completely fan and I'm waiting to see what kind of madness y/n is planning for chapter 27.

Bunch of love, bunch of good wishes for you ❤️

You have no idea how important this is to me, because this is exactly what I was going for. I didn’t want her to be likeable. I didn’t want her to be a pleasant person. I didn’t want people to fall in love with her. I wanted someone dysfunctional, with her issues, contradictions, and messed-up traits. Because for me, it’s important to create female characters who are unbearable—because women have the right to be flawed, to be insufferable, to be broken, to be selfish and narcissistic. That shouldn’t be something reserved only for men. And personally, I love female characters who sometimes make you want to strangle them—not because they’re stupid or lack personality, but because their personality is absolutely infuriating.

And I’m so grateful that not only is that being noticed, but appreciated. That people appreciate the fact that a female main character can be a complete asshole, and that she’s allowed the space to be one. That’s something I really lean into, and I know it’s risky in a fanfic, because people tend to expect their OCs to be likeable or at least palatable—but that’s not my style, and it wasn’t something I was ever interested in doing. So thank you. Thank you for appreciating that she’s a spoiled, rich brat who’s used to getting what she wants, who doesn’t take no for an answer, and who’s completely self-centered. Thank you. That was the goal—and it’s something I knew would put a lot of people off. In fact, several people told me they stopped reading the fic because of that. But I don’t care, because as I said in a comment: this fic isn’t just for adults because of the smut—it’s for adults because it deals with adult themes in a non-pleasing, uncomfortable way.

On the other hand, my idea was also this: I’m not going to give Severus a mother. I’m not going to give him someone who’s going to save him. I’m not going to give him someone who wants to bring out the best in him. I’m going to give him someone who not only understands his demons, but feeds them—because she has even more. Because she’s just as or more messed up than he is, and because she’s not only capable of accepting his darkness, it’s his darkness that she actually likes. This is a very risky, very fucked-up main character—but that’s what I found interesting: exploring a dynamic where Severus is told, “look, what you’ve done in life is child’s play. The grown-ups are on a whole different level.”

I wouldn’t define it as psychopathy or sociopathy—she’s just extremely mentally fucked-up, raised in a way that normalized violence and where the end justifies the means. And at the same time, she has a lot of power and resources to do whatever the hell she wants. The class aspect is something I want to explore more deeply later on, because it’s important—especially in how she’s going to deal with being looked down upon in a world that isn’t hers, which she absolutely won’t tolerate. But at the same time, she does have redeeming traits. She’s deeply loyal to her friends and to those she considers part of her inner circle, and she’d do unspeakable things for them.

Morality is also something I really want to delve into in this fic—particularly the juxtaposition between a man like Severus, who has spent his whole life trying to conform to certain ethical standards, and her worldview, which is built on a deep cynicism about life.

Anyway—thank you so much. I loved your comment, truly. It felt like confirmation that the reader is understanding exactly what I’m trying to convey—and in the end, that’s what really matters ❤️❤️

[dipperscavern]

Hi Dippy!!! Idk if you’ll even see this as it’ll probably get buried in your inbox, but I’d love a fortune telling!!! Also I hope your ankle is ok!!!

I’m 5’7”, with brown eyes and curly brown hair. I have a heart shaped face and very prominent eyebrows. I’m bottom heavy lmao (small chest, wide hips, big booty/thighs). I’m very introverted and a homebody, but once I get to know someone I really come out of my shell. Personality wise, I’m very loyal and I’m not afraid to voice my opinions. I don’t have much of a filter and sometimes say things without thinking them through. I like to think to think I’m funny too, but who knows. My favorite color is purple. My friends and I love going to movies, trying new restaurants, and swimming at the lake. I love cats (I have four). Education is really important to me and I’ve always been a good student. It’s paid off because I start grad school soon!!! I’m also really into sports - I like going for nature walks/hikes and I play tennis. I like watching football too. I also love to read (particularly historical fiction or murder mysteries), listen to podcasts, try out new baking/cooking recipes, and watch tv of course. I’m very close with my family and they’re my number one supporters. My favorite quirk about myself is probably that I like metal music, because I sort of look/dress preppy and live in the South! I hate the cold, so I’m not sure how I would survive in Winterfell… 😵‍💫

hi!’ don’t worry about being lost in the sea of my inbox, 1k requests r my top priority — n thank u for checking up on me!! ANYWAYS. let’s see… 🔮

i knew it, as soon as i saw u… allow me to consult my partner! i clap twice and my royal toad, toad mater, floats down into the room starfish position from an unforeseen place in the ceiling. once he’s eye level with me, he croaks, and i nod. he is then lifted back into the darkness.

ANYWAYS. i see you with the wolf of the north, lord cregan stark. cregaj is the same way with his introvert personality! u guys are very respectful and almost quaint while betrothed, but the more you get to know each other, the more your respective personalities come out. not afraid to voice ur opinions!! this is literally one of cregans favorite attributes in a woman. and not having a filter woukd crack this man UPP. everyone says they’ve never seen their lord stark so… prone to smiling. but it’s all thanks to you, and your inability to read the room (cregan helps you out when necessary). u saying you had cats just made me think of the headcannon that cregans allergic to cats, but would never admit it (thinks allergies dotn exist and that he’s too tough for them😐). and education!! do u KNOW HOW KUCH CREGAJ WOULD LOVE A WELL EDUCATED LADY?!?!?! A LOT!!!! not only does it help you thrive as lady stark, your kids would be sooo intelligent & well educated too. when complimented on it, cregan gives u 99% credit <3

[spotaus]

Flesh anon here. Yet again. With more flesh questions, go me! Staying on brand!

So I was rereading my previous asks and the responses and I realized two things

1. Human flesh is very much a conversation Reaper, Geno, and Dust could have at some point, something like Geno mourning that loss of opportunity back in school, Reaper making a small comment about it because while he has eaten it before it is likely not something he would repeat, and then Dust can chime in with the fact he's eaten dishes from that shapeshifter kingdom place, and Geno gets so excited because "omg what do you mean i can go over and eat flesh in dishes that had possibly hundreds of years avaiable to develop the tastes to their full potential??" because he's a nerd and has to get shut down by his lovers, because there's no way they're going with him, and there's ABSOLUTELY no way he's going alone.

2. It has been established Ccino would throw the flesh Nim used to eat out because of Nightmare being picky about his food so the pantry had to get renovated

But Ccino only got that because of all the chaos and the adjustment period

So... If almost everything went as planned, would the flesh from Nims rule stay in the pantry at the beginning of Dreams? Like I don't think it would get resupplied because Nightmare is an advisor and I think Ccino would still get some say in that, but is that something that could've actually went on without people even... Really realizing? Like maybe after the kingdom gets overthrown they're in some very unfortunate situation where they have questionable food and stuff and Dream takes the meat because well, Nightmare gets iffy with most meats and Ccino probably can't stomach it, and he eats it expecting something terrible because the source was sketchy... But he recognizes this? He has eaten this before, back at the castle. It's the first time since those early days that he's eating it, but even if prepared very differently the taste and texture is unique enough that he's able to recognize it. Maybe later on they learn it was flesh and he feels disgusted? Or maybe not even, maybe he's eerily neutral about it and Nightmare is the one who feels disgusted for him. I feel like Ccino would not let himself process it either way honestly.

Welcome back Flesh Anon! It's a pleasure!

And I love the brand, let's do this thing!

1) Oh, you are SO right! Those freaks would definitely make a conversation of it- like you said, Geno would be the one to bring it up, and without even thinking Reaper is just like, "No, my love, you wouldn't be impressed. It's like any other meat, except a bit of a strange texture." And then is blindsided when Geno gives him The Look to elaborate. But Dust doesn't catch it immediately (and is also a lot more comfy w/ them) so he drops the "Yeah. Unseasoned and uncooked? Gross." And he Also doesn't process because Reaper was so chill about it. (He gets flash-backs to the drunk night w/ Killer lmao-) And then Geno hounds them for like an hour for info, haha! (Idk if there's anything else to say because you kinda nailed them, hehe!)

Perhaps, if I were to be a bit silly, I could see Dust sending a letter to obe of hid old contacts and asking them to visit Sanctuary or Orchard, to call in a favor. Obe singular well-cooked meal for his stupidly curious partner. At the end of the day Dust knows Geno has done worse social + moral taboos and will find his way to it one way or another, so he's speeding up the process haha! Geno admits that Reaper + Dust were right, the texture was just mediocre and uninteresting (doesn't even bother his magic) but the lady who made it made it WELL. Like, actually kinda scrumptious flavor-wise- he's deeply impressed.

2) Ohhhh I forgot... yeah, 99% chance that Dream doesn't even notice the incoming shipments, and the staff would assume Dream enjoyed the same meals as Nim w/ some variation. Night, like u said, very picky so he never had it in his meals, but Dream? Dream just kinda ate whatever was put infront of him so long as it looked/smelled/tasted good! Kept ordering it for years, actually, because the twins never bothered to ask, and the staff never thought they had reason to tell! (Ccino wouldn't have looked into it either I don't think, he didn't ever quite get the authority in this version, just immunity from poor treatment, so the meat is none if his business, all he needs to know is that Night won't eat it <3) And I love picturing them on the run and getting food from a sketchy source? Banger! Everything looks vaguely familiar, except for the meat, and Ccino prepares it beat he can, and Dream is distressed to recognize his high-price meat's texture! It doesn't take long to truly puzzle it out! At this point, I do believe Dream would be icked out, but in a very mundane way. Like, mm. (Example: My brother hates mayo. He loves my mom's chicken salad, which includes mayo. He overlooks his mayo hatred because it tastes good + eats it anyways-) Fundamentally he's grossed out by the idea of eating human flesh, but after so long od developing a taste for it? He's kinda unapologetic for liking it and, in this au, *might* eat it again. But yeah, no, Nightmare gags the moment he hears someone point it out, and Ccino just kinda... blocks it out. Back into crisis mode for this boy, lol!

[kivaember]

do you have a more fleshed out idea of the relationships between asset 04 and the others?

I DO! I DO! I DO!!!!

BUT!!!

I CANT SAY MUCH BC!!! ASSET 04 BACKSTORY STUFF IS KINDA SPOILERY ABOUT THINGS IN APV!!!!

well, definitely backstory stuff regarding Asset 04 and his relationships with Asset 06 and Asset 02. that stuff is ultra spoilery about future apv plot stuff.

i will say though that Asset 04 was far more amicable towards the "low numbers", that being Asset 01 to Asset 05, than those of the "high numbers". those after 05 were not subjected to the exact same augmentation process and were, in fact, augmented in early adulthood, as opposed to the low numbers who were the sole survivors of CIT's experiments in Coral augmentations in children. so Asset 04 is somewhat resentful of the high numbers which, yes, include Asset 06.

okay you know what i'll give some spoilery stuff bc of apv's slow update schedule. click the read more if you don't mind apv spoilers:

Remember in the early chapters where 621 said that Asset 04 had been a terrible person? He really had not been lying or exaggerating. Asset 04 was a product of his upbringing, and that upbringing was "being a test subject for highly dangerous and experimental coral augmentations when he was as young as like ten years old and then raised to be a cold-blooded assassin for his corporate overlords". This also shaped how he made relationships with other people - which were only the other Assets.

The low numbers, 01 to 05, Asset 04 was pretty amicable towards. They all suffered the same experience, and while they were vastly different personality wise, that sort of understanding let them have a quiet sort of respect for each other. Asset 02 in particular was someone Asset 04 had a soft-spot for, and she was actually the only person amongst the Assets that he would actively go out of his way to help. She struggled a lot as her augmentation was deemed "defective" (but still considered superior to the non-Coral augmentations of the later Assets), and Asset 04 stepped in a lot to try and alleviate her burden, since he was "blessed" with having absolutely no side effects to his augmentations, and was deemed a rousing success by CIT.

(in fact, if the process for Asset 04's augmentation hadn't had such a high failure rate (99%), his augmentation process would've been rolled out as a legitimate thing. Also not many people are willing to invest in a decade long augmentation process on a child that is highly likely going to die at the end of it)

But yeah, Asset 02 is the only evidence that Asset 04 had a heart or was even capable of empathy. With anyone else? He despised them. He actively toyed with his enemies and killed them in extravagant ways to amuse himself - or let them think they were going to win/escape before dashing their hopes. He treated Asset 06 like a pet that had the novel ability to talk and even tried to sabotage him on sorties to see how he'd fare, half-wanting him to die and half-wanting him to survive since Asset 04 was fond of Asset 06 in a twisted kind of way (genuinely, Asset 06 endured so much shit as Asset 04's partner, that his behaviour towards post-amnesia Asset 04 was pretty understandable tbh). Asset 04 actually killed other high number Assets and took great pleasure in doing so, and never got punished for it because high number Assets were easily replaceable and CIT deemed Asset 04's actions as culling the weak amongst their pool of traumatised in-house assassins.

Asset 04 was a terrible person and treated everyone else terribly as a result, including his fellow Assets - with the sole exception of Asset 02, where things were a bit more complicated for reasons I'll not say because they are spoilery lmao

621 feels quite a lot of shame about Asset 04's behaviour, really. Though he doesn't feel all that bad about all the people he killed - 621 isnt bothered about that at all really - he does feel really uncomfortable and ashamed at how maliciously cruel Asset 04 was and how he treated his fellow Assets. 621 understands that Asset 04 did it mostly because he was angry and resented his situation, and was lashing out at whatever targets he could since he couldn't do anything to his masters, but it still didn't make it right. Hilariously, Iguazu actually reminds 621 of Asset 04, and it makes him feel really conflicted and unsure about some stuff.

Meanwhile, Rusty is. the spitting image of Asset 06, except with a way better personality, and that is also why 621 feels really conflicted with Rusty along with all the other baggage he's hauling around. he keeps getting emotional whiplash or deja vu with him, which is also why 621 is so quick to assume the worst with him.

I went way off topic there lol really i had an Asset 04 fic planned for when I finished apv, to give backstory context to Asset 04. It's best to think of 04 and 621 as two entirely different people, because they basically are at this point. It's actually something 621 wonders about, if he would start acting like 04 again if he ever remembered his past. It had to be pretty terrible to make someone like Asset 04, right...

oh hey another sorta sad one lmao tumblr user sparkles-oflight will be delighted

this is also from my holidate playlist, both for bokris and for the jankris bit that i never posted and this is what i associate the song with now so ill just explain that here bc i cant make up a different story at this point

so for the bokris aspect, this is very much giving pining for the other but obv still thinking its just one sided. holidate was 90% just from kris' perspective but ive mentioned before that bojan also fell for kris relatively early so by the time they were regularly having sex, they were both being stupid about the whole "im so in love with him but theres no way he will ever feel the same oh woe is me 💔"

and the song is like. i associate it especially with the moments they had before they went to sleep together. lying in bed together, its dark, warm under the covers and cozy in the others arms so they get a little vulnerable and soft and say things they definitely wouldnt say in the light because they would sound too serious then. in the morning they dont talk about it, pretend it wasnt that serious etc etc

especially in chapter uhhh what was it ill have to fact check myself but 14? when bojan falls asleep first and kris lies awake, whispering his first "i love you" into bojans hair. he wouldnt have done that in daylight, no matter how asleep bojan wouldve been, but at night it slipped out a little easier (and then after it was out of his mouth he felt more confident in maybe confessing for real) but yeah you get the general vibe?

for jankris the song was more platonic to me for sure. despite the lyrics, the song does have a very comforting feel to me idk. so for them i always associated it with the times they seeked comfort in the other bc they were struggling with something so they slept over, falling asleep in one bed etc

there also wouldve been said things in the dark they dont usually say, confessing thoughts theyve had about others or about themselves that feel very heavy, but when they hold each other like this it feels easier to talk about those things.

with holidate jan being on the aromantic spectrum and struggling to develop romantic feelings for his partners even when he wanted exactly that sort of connection to someone, in the chapter there also was jan saying he wished he could fall in love with kris, he wished they couldve worked out (since they were dating as teens) because he does have a lot of love for kris and feels so safe around him, it wouldve been so easy to build a relationship on that. and thats also a late night thought that feels easier to say in the dark and then dismiss in the morning because its not. idk. not an actual wish he has, its just a fleeting thought that pops up sometimes when they lie together like this.

methinks jun would be into cosplay sex.. i’m 99% sure he has few anime/video game girls that he fancies since he’s been influenced by mao/makoto 🤭 he’d be surprised at first when he saw you cosplaying them but hey he’s not hating what he’s seeing, he loved it in fact.. he loved it too much that he ended up fucking you in it :-) you admit that you get a littleee bit jealous because of how much he likes the cosplay but the sex was so good that you’re willing to put it behind 🤭 but on a serious note he’d reassure you during aftercare if you’re fr insecure afterwards bc he cares about how u feel too :-) sorry for rambling i just love jun.. <\33 i want him so bad

ngl i think Jun probably has a thing for clothing in general. if he sees his partner dressed up for an event, in lingerie, or in cosplay i think he would go absolutely feral. though i do also think he's the type to want to rip the clothing off you asap too so it only lasts so long lmao

Luckily the trend has died down, but I hate when people talk about "the ick." Like 99% of the time they're just talking about how they felt grossed out looking at their friend/partner doing something normal.

I feel like a lot of it comes from the increasingly common perception of constantly being viewed/judging others. It just exists to reinforce constant self monitoring to adjust for any potential "viewer" and the idea that you need to be Instagram presentable 24/7 even in front of close family and friends.

Plus half the time they're some woman uploading a video of their boyfriend doing something normal, like walking over to them in a pool with drinks for them, and being like, "When you watch the way he walks in a pool and get the ick." It's insane you would upload a video of someone you claim to care about and talk about how their normal action made you judge them.

And I know they're meant to be light hearted, and it is totally normal to look at something and have a reaction to it. Plus, I feel like a lot of the time it's just a case of, "I've never really thought in depth about this thing before and it just looks kind of funny."

But, also like... keep it to yourself? Have I ever looked at my partner and been like, "Why does he do that like that. He looks weird doing that." Sure, and that fine, BUT I don't remind my partner I'm a constant observer in his life and that I have random judgmental thoughts sometimes. He deserves to feel comfortable and supported around me, and there is no reason I should be telling him random judgmental thoughts I had about him when the thing he's doing is in no way a bad thing to be doing. That's just asking for your partner to become increasingly self conscious around you. Even if you're just teasing or being funny, if you keep pointing out random judgements you're casting, they will start to notice even if you don't actually care or want them to feel judged.

Not to mention the other two common issues with it:

1. People being like, "adding that to my list of things that cause the ick," and then showing a list of like 400+ things. Like, you're actually kind of a bitch and you're going to ruin your life by being overly critical of others and not learning to check yourself.

2. The ones where it's just reinforcing gender binary like, "When he goes with you to get a pedicure and suddenly you have the ick." And like... you invited him to an activity you enjoy and he came with you and then suddenly you had negative feelings due to ingrained sexist societal norms, but your reaction to that seems to be that you think your feelings are fine and it's actually funny and normal to feel the ick about that and not question it.

Honestly that last part is the biggest point. It's normal to have these feelings, but the trend was/is about joking about being judgy, when in fact the reaction to having those thoughts should be, "Damn, I'll being randomly judgy lmao. Let me check myself there." It's normal to have a random judgemental reaction, and there's no need to beat yourself up, but you shouldn't be reinforcing that reaction. You should just casually be like, "Nah, actually it's cute to see my boyfriend walking over to me with drinks he got for us."

Hello! I saw that your requests are open, so can I please have some Tsumugi headcanons (if you are comfy with writing for him!) on an S/O who is like a puppy? Like they are super affectionate and becomes giddy when he give them praises and likes to nuzzle up to him when they cuddle? Thank you! (*>ω<*)♡

TSUMUGI AOBA WITH AN AFFECTIONATE S/O !

i see tsumugi as a very affectionate partner himself, so it’s definitely a match made in heaven!

you guys are literally stuck together. shoulder to shoulder. natsume is sick and tired of yall 😭 … if you’re not together, you will be constantly texting each other. doesn’t matter if tsumugi’s practicing or whatever, he’s looking at this phone the moment the notification noise plays. he’s immediately replying if it’s you.

you don’t follow tsumugi, nor does he follow you. you follow each other like lost puppies, if that even makes sense LMAO. he definitely loves putting his hands on your shoulders while walking, especially when he’s behind you.

he’s very fond of pda! there isn’t really anything embarassing about showing love in public, right? he literally compliments every single little thing you do, no matter how small or big it is LOL. also, when he’s daydreaming during a date, he’s most likely thinking about you and WILL 99% of the time talk to himself.

“ah… they’re so pretty. they are the love of my life. the light of my life. i want to stay with them forev— oh.”

cuddles with tsumugi are always the coziest! he finds it adorable how you’d always nuzzle up to him, and would encourage it by playing with your hair. i think he’d also love to be the little spoon every now and then, and he definitely does the nuzzle thingy as well.

[galarsbookstore]

Adaman and Volo headcanons please!! Maybe things they look for in a partner? How they like to cuddle and kiss and stuff?? Excited to see u back!

Aaaa I'm happy to be back tysm!! 💖 and yes yes here you go bby!! Uhh atill gotta work on characterization of these boys but that's half the fun; figuring out how I feel they are!

Adaman and Volo: HCs on what they look for in a partner and relationship hcs in general

Adaman:

This man is big on time and stuff so he'd likely appreciate a partner who doesn't just let time pass them by and does all they can do without letting the idea of too little time stop them, you just gotta do it before there's no time left!

He doesn't worry too much about the nitty gritty details of things because he doesn't want to waste time; he wants to get going and do what he can in the time he has

He's not opposed to dragging you along with him from place to place so he'd do well with a partner who is okay with spontaneity.

If you like pokemon that's a plus!

As much as time is something he hates to see wasted, any time with his partner is time well spent

Time with his partner could never be a waste; in fact, that time is likely one of the only times he fins himself not rushing forward without thinking (mostly)

He's pretty attentive as well; I like to imagine because he rushes into things at times, he's really good at easily reading situations.

His kisses are either quick and rough by accident or slow and hungry, loving. Depending on the situation.

In public it's pretty quick, Alone he's slow- needy. But just gentle enough; knows limits.

Would probably go around with his arm around you or holding you- likes to cuddle too alone. Big spoon 99% of the time.

But he's not opposed to being little spook you just need to ask

It actually makes him soft inside

Volo:

Wanders a lot, wouldn't want anyone in his life to try to tie him down to a singular spot.

Appreciates someone who doesn't really question him too much; he's a curious cat who shows up out of nowhere a lot it's just how he is

Hes a real knowledgeable person and thrives off of gaining more knowledge

If someone is willing to battle him and challenge him every so often he'd like it

Interested in talking about myths and pokemon; if you indulge him he will appreciate it- even if you don't really care too much

Doesn't mind holding hands but other than that I feel like he might he more inclined to make PDA just A in private lmao

But in private he does like to hold his significant other and be near them.

I get a feeling he might be kind of... Possessive at times, but it wouldn't be obvious.

Since he'd rather not kiss you in public, it's gonna be kisses in private and they're usually rough in a way and telling; you can really feel his emotions when he kisses you, even if he has had a smile on his face all day.

Cuddles are usually mainly him being big spoon; you have a better chance getting Adaman to let you be big spoon.

Multiples of 4 for SymbiOT3? Only as many of those as you want

For you, Dok, one of the first people on board this ship with me.. I will indulge this. Or at least a few of them.

4. Which one is more protective? Who needs to be ‘protected’?

This one is soooooo funny because @amaronith and I have literally discussed this and the answer is always "they all protect each other" but I feel like mostly Eddie and Flash's instinct is to protect the symbiote. I also though feel that whoever is at that moment bonded to the symbiote is probably more like... aware of the partner who is not being potentially more vulnerable? I think Flash is probably more foolhardy about it though. Symbiote or no he WILL throw himself into the fray. My precious himbo. 💖

8. What happens if one of them gets sick?

So, haha, I have 100% written this already for Flash and the symbiote, but that aside.. If one of the humans is sick, the first call is probably to May Parker because obviously they need her chicken soup recipe. Other than that, if Eddie is the one who's sick, he does not get to work, Mister don't even think about touching that laptop and all. Flash is a little bit more self-aware of his limitations but he gripes about it a lot. If the symbiote gets sick, they probably reach out to Reed Richards if they can because he's probably the closest they can get to an expert opinion while on Earth. Other than that, love and patience and lots and lots of fluids.

12. Do they have many heated arguments? How do they smooth things over?

I'm sure they have their fair share! Eddie and Flash are both pretty bull-headed and while it helps to have a third party, it also makes the symbiote sometimes feel like it's obligated to be a mediator (or tie-breaker). It's complicated when you literally know both of their brains. This sounds silly but they probably fall back on things they've each learned in therapy to de-escalate. 😅 It's important to have growth. They try not to go to bed angry at each other though.

16. Can they stay up all night just talking?

While it's romantic to think that they would I DO think that Flash has a tendency to drop off to sleep as soon as he starts getting tired. He can and will fall asleep to the sound of Eddie's voice. He is just exhausted. When Eddie has insomnia though I'm sure he and the symbiote stay up communicating, maybe silently. Or if someone stirs awake or can't sleep, the symbiote is always there.

20. Choose one song that perfectly describes their relationship.

I didn't want to just say "Dust to Dust" by The Civil Wars again so... "Days of Thunder" by The Midnight. It's about the complexities.

Love is a fatal flaw / Is a broken jaw / Is a burning bridge

24. Who's more likely to give the other a massage?

Honestly the symbiote does it for them out of instinct. Eddie is tensed up like 99% of the time so he usually needs a shoulder rub. Man needs to learn to loosen his muscles or they'll start cramping.

28. What are there thoughts on pet names? Do they have any?

100% on Amaronith for this one but Eddie calls Flash "golden boy". It's that old trope of "this started out derogatory but now it's affectionate". For the symbiote, honestly I will just defer to canon for this ("love", "darling", and "dear" from Eddie; Flash is not very good at terms of endearment so hilariously he might stick to "partner", "friend" lmao but @dyradoodles had the galaxy brain idea of "sweetheart" so. yoink!). I like the idea of Flash calling Eddie "babe" it seems fitting.

For the symbiote, Eddie is its "heart" and Flash is its "light" but I've already explored that here like the SAP I am.

32. Who's the better story teller?

Eddie, probably. He has a natural flair for the dramatic but is also very long-winded. He has a wonderful way with words though and Flash and the symbiote like to listen to him talk. Like he could read the phone book and Flash would just gaze lovingly upon him for ages.

36. Who's more likely to fire up the stove at 2am because the other woke up in the middle of the night hungry?

Flash. Especially if he's having trouble sleeping. However, Eddie might be up at 2AM stress-baking (thanks @cannibal-wings for this HC.. wow, this is turning into a group effort huh).

44. Who would dance in the kitchen making dinner? Would the other join in or watch from the doorway?

Obviously depending on mobility situation, I feel like this is a Flash mood, and Eddie is probably in the doorway smiling. Unless the symbiote drags him over. Unless Flash has the symbiote and a tentacle reaches out and drags Eddie in hehe.

52. Describe their weekend getaway?

I really like the idea of them going upstate to visit Flash's mom regularly and maybe they go to like... a state fair or something that would be cute. They win the mega big prizes for random kids there. The symbiote makes itself sick on fried oreos.

56. What do they do turn the other on/put them in the mood?

Well... I'm not saying Flash can get turned on at the drop of a hat but, lol. Eddie likes to be wooed a little bit more, a build-up from a nice evening together is good. Maybe one of his favorite records. The symbiote might make a few suggestive comments, put a few ideas in someone's head. It enjoys this, too. ;)

60. Who pulls the other closer when they’re sleeping?

The symbiote! It likes to tug everyone together. Except when it's like, 100 degrees Fahrenheit outside. Then it's going to go sleep in the freezer. Eddie himself also tends to gravitate towards a sleeping partner, usually with just like an arm, but Flash will actively seek out warmth. Rudely presses his cold nose against Eddie's back, I'm sure. 🙄🤭

Wow this was so many but I did almost all of them!! Thank you for this though you know I am always weak for the symbiot3.

Ask me questions about my ships!

[queensectonia]

for the ask game! still! galacta :]

oho, galacta! now there's a character always ripe for the headcanoning.

my read on galacta relies pretty much entirely on the headcanon that he's a time-displaced SUPER far future kirby, so a lot of the answers for this may end up referring back to that.

1: sexuality headcanon: you know, I have genuinely never thought about this for my galacta. it's never come up. whether he's aroace, or celibate, or just doesn't have the time or inclination for relationships... who knows. he values friendships much more anyway and has a lot of factors that severely dampen his prospects anyway lmao. he's in that classic "doomed to always outlive his partners" bracket because star warriors are immortal and it's not like anyone's going to be able to kill him any time soon. on top of all that, being sealed away in a crystal 99% of the time makes it a little difficult to get to know people, ya dig

2: otp: see above for my own galacta. metagala is always a fun pairing for the fight freak jock solidarity appeal of it all.

3: brotp: metagala is pretty sick here too! especially since I imagine meta knight would respect galacta deeply and even look up to him a bit as The Ultimate Star Warrior.

4: notp: can't say I have one. frankly I don't really have NOTPs at all i don't have time for that shit, i just shrug and carry on

5: first headcanon that pops into my head: in my design briefs for galacta, he's always been the heavily-armed cavalry knight to meta knight's more lightly-equipped footsoldier. even though galacta far outstrips meta knight's abilities in every category, meta knight's combat specialty is speed and finesse as opposed to galacta's sheer overwhelming strength.

this is drawn from the fact that galacta's weapon is a lance, which are never used on foot and require the speed and increased reach of a horse to even work. the lance is therefore a symbol of galacta's power, that he can not only wield it effectively, but treat the damn thing like a sword when he wants to. the lance is also a perfect weapon for him because he can fly, which gives him the exact qualities required for a lance to be effective in the first place.

(actually, the way that the devs literally just treat galacta's lance as a sword as a side effect of him being a meta knight clone is extremely funny. those are two VERY different weapons with completely incompatible wielding styles. lances are piercing weapons, for one thing. trying to use one like a sword essentially turns it into a giant fucking club.)

thank you for attending my weapon categories TEDtalk, i can and will do this again

6: favorite line from this character: oh boy it's the no dialogue club again!

7: one way in which I relate to this character: i, too, hate to be woken up by my alarm clock (meta knight demanding another god damn fight) when i was just trying to fucking sleep

8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character: nothing really! galacta was designed purely for the cool factor and he continues to carry that off. maybe one day you'll be canon, my good dude

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave? once he gets an actual character i'll get back to you on this one

(my galacta is a very burnt and toasty cinnamon roll. did nothing wrong. extremely tired. just wants the universe to unfuck itself.)
