🌺Azalea🌺: send a headcanon about them and the character you associate them with

Headcanon for Essie:

Drives a pickup truck

Enjoys wildlife and the mountains.

Spends two weeks hiking and travelling per year (maybe even camping).

Met Ari in a sports equipment store when Essie found her ropes were a bit torn *possibly dangerous* so she went to buy some new ones.

The store clerk was nowhere to be seen so Ari (as a free climber) recommended her with a few makes and models.

Very helpful. Exchanged numbers.

Met Ari again later that night in the local pub. Realized that they both enjoy the tranquility of nature.

Ok, idk how to say this is the most accurate thing ever and I love it 😂🥰

Like, I would totally drive a pickup truck if I could. I literally window shop them every other day.

I really do love traveling, too, and I do that a lot, but not to outdoor destinations as much as I wish I did. Tbh, I don’t think I’ve been camping in nearly two decades!! I do love the outdoors and wildlife, but totally loathe bugs. It’s a fatal flaw.

Meeting Ari like that would be a total dream and tbh, what an ideal situation. Just easy breezy. (Also, not this lowkey being like half of Bigger Houses tho. When I said ‘reader insert,’ I meant me😂😬)

ask game 🔍 🎬

🔍 - how did you first get into Lockwood & Co?

That was back in July 2013, my sister works at a bookshop and they sometimes get book samples, Lockwood & Co TSS is one of the books she gave me over the years. And since I read the first book two months before its official release, the wait for book 2 was absolutely long and painful haha, especially since the fandom was practically nonexistent at this point. The sample book doesn't even have the little cute chapter drawings by Kate Adams yet (pssst she also has an Instagram and sells prints).

🎬 - favourite behind-the-scenes pic

Oooh, there are so many good ones to choose from! But I really like the early ones, the crumbs they released during filming or because someone else took a photo or two from the set (like the ones from Chipping Camden for example or the early ones from the Barbican Center/Fittes building).

Oh, wait! The first photo of the trio is probably my favorite, in which they are laying on the bed. Where we could really see for the first time how absolutely fitting Cameron, Ruby and Ali were for the characters.

I absolutely ADORE the way you draw game Vanessa she looks so mother 🙏

I’m actually so glad people like how Vanny looks!

For the requests: maybe Dash and Spitfire are doing some bonding gaming with Scoots? I'm sure they enjoy some console gaming, but maybe they could be convinced to do some board games as well?

I had to color this in because I loved this idea too much. Scootaloo gets some help from Spitfire and learns an important lesson about strategy and playing the long game.

Poor Rainbow gets demolished.

for the ask game (1)

au where bruce is attracted to his robins and batgirls. he tries not to think about it or act on it, but it's getting more difficult with every new member of his team he acquires. does anyone know? do the robins and batgirls notice his weird behavior? what do they do about it? do they ever find out the truth? who would think it's terrible and who would find it strangely hot/comforting/nice? does bruce ever act on his feelings?

for the ask game!

oh my GOD do i have thoughts for AUs like this, i love this shit so dearly, dirtybadwrong Bruce who's trying to keep a lid on it my beloved.

i think the fun of this AU is if characters would notice Bruce lusting for themselves vs would they notice Bruce lusting for a different Robin/Batgirl. like does Dick pick up on it when it's just him and Bruce? no, because it's just. him and Bruce. he and Bruce are weird and complicated and hold endless bounds of nuance. that's just How Bruce Is, and Dick is the "test run", in a sense. he knows Bruce is new to this whole sidekick/family thing and is giving Bruce grace for being rough around the edges. but when Bruce starts looking at Jason or Tim or Cass that way, that's when Dick starts to notice. it's never enough of a suspicion he feels justified to bring it up, but the thought lingers. he's hyperaware and grows less and less comfortable with leaving them alone with Bruce. it's a weird game of chicken, Dick and Bruce staring each other down when Bruce's touch lingers too long. each waiting for the other to say something first. if Bruce ever broke and actually acted on his feelings, Dick would be eaten alive by the guilt of knowing something was up, but never saying something until it was too late.

obviously, Cass would know. there's no world where Cass *doesn't* know, the nature of who and what she is would immediately clock it. but the issue is, Cass doesn't have a good framework of what family looks like. she doesn't really understand familial vs romantic love bc she has no firsthand experience of what a parent's love should even look like. so she never calls it out. she just watches. i'm a fan of Cass believing this is normal and believing she too can express and act on attraction that's vaguely incestuous. maybe it's with Babs, maybe it's with Dick or Tim or Bruce himself. but she recognizes this as Normal and Accepted within the Batfamily, so it severely fucks up her understanding of familial love and i just. man it's my favorite thing about Cass in Batcest honestly, is how you can play with her lack of experience with love, boundaries, and sexuality.

Tim is the fun one for me. because my favorite flavor of BruTim is when Tim knows, as he agrees to be Robin, that there's a non-zero chance that Bruce is going to be Weird and agrees anyway because he's decided it's an acceptable risk. so Tim knows from the get-go because he's expecting it. if Bruce acts on his attraction, i think it's either with Tim or Cass first, because they're the most likely to confront him about it in a way that isn't entirely negative. Tim has accepted it's a possibility and Cass just seeks being loved and touched so. it leads to the first time someone's ever confronted Bruce about it. and the thing is, Bruce really doesn't like confrontation about his flaws. the first time Tim tries to imply he's okay with it, Bruce would lash out at the idea, tell Tim how inappropriate that is and benches Tim for a week. it'd probably take a united front from Cass and Tim to get Bruce to even *admit* to the attraction. still Bruce wouldn't allow it to happen and he brushes them off until finally, the dam breaks. it's fun if there's a cause like sex pollen, but i think it's *more* fun if it's just. a random fucking Tuesday and finally Bruce is at his limit. he has no real reason, there's nothing particularly different about that day's routine. he just sees Tim or Cass striping armor and sighs and gives in.

i don't think Steph, Jason, or Babs would notice until anything substantial happened. not because they're not wicked smart, but just because none of them were looking for it. Jason put Bruce on a pedestal when he was alive, and when he came back from the dead he wasn't close enough to be noticing Bruce's interpersonal dynamics outside of his narrow scope. Steph has no real framework for what healthy fatherhood looks like, so if Bruce's touches linger, if he stares too long, she just shrugs and assumes it's how it is. and Babs was just never quite close enough to Bruce to notice. if and when she notices, is when actual sexual things start to happen between Cass and Bruce. because Cass would see no reason to hide it. Babs would be pissed, but it'd be tricky to navigate. Cass would be an adult, even if she's only 18/19, so technically, she's old enough to be consenting. if nothing else, Bruce is a careful man. even when he breaks and gives in to his desires, he covers his tracks well. he makes sure he has enthusiastic consent and there's no legal recourse that could be taken. age of consent and all that. there's not much Babs can *do* other than try to tell Cass (and/or Tim) that this isn't normal or okay. not that it gets her anywhere, but god would she try.

by the time Duke comes along (if we venture out of the pre-Flashpoint era) i think it's a sort of. open secret, in the Batfamily. talked about in nothing but hushed whispers and knowing glances. at some point, they've all had sex with Bruce, caving all for different reasons. some more than others. Tim sees it as a duty, Cass sees it as a way of seeking comfort, Steph sees it as getting Bruce's approval for once, etc. it's never forced on them, but eventually, they all come to Bruce sooner or later. and that's the fun irony of it, i think. they try to convince the others not to, but would go to Bruce on their own well. because complicated reasons they can't put into words. sometimes, Bruce is just a messy man who doesn't realize how prized his Attention to for the rest of the Batfamily. that weird duality of not liking him, but also wanting desperately for him to like you. all of them have dealt with it, at some point. so for Duke, it takes a while for him to understand this... whole dynamic. it's Cass who tries to explain it to him, and he's a little horrified, a lot confused. especially when Bruce starts staring at him a little too long as well. i think he'd only want to watch first but well. they all cave eventually.

also fun bonus if we venture into the Dark Knight Returns universe for my bestest girl Carrie Kelley: there's such a like, "i'm fucking around and i'm finding out" vibe to Carrie. like Tim, she's very proactive in just. deciding she's going to be Robin and she's ready for whatever that entails. (IMO canon Carrie is closer to fanon Tim than canon Tim is but *that* deserves its own post-) like she takes one look at the old man that is Batman and goes yup. he's never fucking getting rid of me now. if Bruce started having weird feelings about her, i think she'd have *fun* with it. she's decided she's in it for the long haul and for whatever being Robin means so. she's almost teasing about it, seeing how hard she can push before Bruce snaps. since it's an older, gruffer Bruce, i think he'd express open annoyance at it first, almost a sort of banter about how Carrie behave. but of course he caves and Carrie leans into it, because there's a fun in having all of Bruce's attention to herself. in the main timeline, Bruce is pretty split with so many Robins and Batgirls, but during their era, it's *just* her and him and she's very proud she's got him all to herself.

number one for the new smoke and mirrors ask!!

"Designation, track, year?"

"Blades, Support Track, first year."

"Really? Support Track? A flier like you?"

"...So?"

"You got a creator or a friend high up? Someone with some strings to pull, right?"

"What? No, I-"

"Whatever, keep your secrets. Besides, you're holding up the line now. Get in front of the camera and smile."

----------------------

"Designation, track, year?"

"Heatwave. Firetruck. First year."

"Okay, firefighting. Firefighting is the track. But you're Kaonite, so I can't be surprised."

"The fuck's that supposed to mean-"

"Are you here on scholarship? I doubt your test scores are the top stuff, I'm thinking you're good in the field? But you're kind of a shrimp-"

"You tryna start something you-?!"

"Woah, cool down, tiger! No need to reinforce the stereotypes. Now, you're holding up the line. Get in front of the camera and smile."

----------------------

"Designation, track, year?"

"Boulder, Engineering, first year."

"Sheesh, what an accent. I can barely understand you."

"Sorry, I-"

"No worries, they'll outfit you with a Universal Translator soon enough. They do it all the time for Tarnish students- or they would, if we ever had any."

"Oh. Um-"

"Better to keep that mouth of yours shut until they do. Keep to yourself, it's better that way. Now get in front of the camera and smile, you're holding up the line."

----------------------

"Designation, track, year?"

"Chase. Enforcer-adjacent, first year."

"Enforcer-adjacent, more like Enforcer-reject. So what did you do to get yourself kicked out? Took a bribe? Too trigger happy?"

"That is hardly appropriate-"

"Eh, doesn't matter right now. It always comes out, one way or another. Give me a hint, let me make a bet?"

"I don't know what you're talking about-"

"Alright, alright, I get it. But my bet is... you got into something you shouldn't have. You have that look about you."

"I-"

"Alright, move along. You're holding up the line! Hardly appropriate, you say. Now get in front of that camera and smile."

I'm hoping to participate in Art Fight more this year than last year allowed me, and I added Allessandro over there...only to realize I didn't have a colored ref for him! It's been a year since I last drew him so I figured: no better time than now to give him a new fullbody pic!

Fun update: after a month spent searching for his mentor and ending up in Barovia because of it, Saverio finally 'heard' from him a couple sessions ago...only for the message to be vague, short and offer no real answers. Needless to say: Allessandro is still full of mysteries and Saverio is pretty irked at essentially being ghosted by his not-father figure.

(You can find me on AF here!)

i love it when athletes understand that they are actors in a little play

I need more Elysia please 😩

Thank you so much, my lovely! ❤️

So, I had two thoughts about this: I could either direct you to the first mood board in case you didn't see it, and make one for Ringmaster Astarion instead, or I could just make a second Elysia mood board.

I decided to do both. Indecipherable Spoilers-That-Only-Mean-Something-To-Me edition!

First up, Elysia Thorne, part 2! (First one here)

And next up, Ringmaster Astarion!

[sandygastle]

absolutely obsessed with these two leaked ride pokemon concepts in particular.

[redo-rewind-if]

Honestly, I can’t stop thinking of past V judging present V for getting with mc.

The “you didn’t, they’re our employee” and following flustered V was delicious.

I’m also laughing because I 1000% am having my mc seduce the pants off of V, and I could just imagine V being like, “I was seduced!” And past V being even more disappointed/shocked because power dynamic wise they do have the upper hand and why does this sound like an excuse?

Only for past V to eventually come up against said seduction to just be like:

“Shit”

Oh yeah, for sure. The moment V realizes their feelings for MC is going to be *chef's kiss* *:･ﾟ✧a disaster*:･ﾟ✧. "Shit" is about right lol.

The start of V's romance is basically them speedrunning the 7 stages of grief just to come to terms with the fact that, yeah, they might be a little in love with their employee. Whoops.

was craving a burger and milkshake and then thought abt forever partners jean and neil so enjoy a drabble as i eat my burger and drink my milkshake

“You said we were getting food,” Jean starts as he stands outside the entrance, eyes flicking around before settling on Neil looking at him expectantly. ��What is this?”

“Food.” Neil pulls the door open, holding it for Jean and tilts his head, urging the other to walk inside.

It’s late, nearing midnight on a Friday night. Neil wasn’t at all keen on cooking, the laziness weighed down on his bones and he’s hungry. It’s not ideal to stand around and wait for the food to heat up and season and the like so, with a craving for bubbly soda and burgers, he bothered Jean until he got an answer.

As they stand in line waiting, other locals having the same idea or a penchant for fast food, he watches as Jean surveys the brightly lit menu hanging on the wall. He didn’t tell Jean exactly where he was taking them to eat, already knowing the complaints and comment he’d get if he told the truth.

It isn’t a lie, really. But rather, simply hiding something from the man.

“Neil,” Jean murmurs and turns to him with a deadpan expression. A furrow to his brows that nearly makes Neil want to smile. He really does enjoy messing with him. “This is junk.”

They step forward in line as Neil shrugs. “No. Junk is chips and chocolate. What we have here is burgers, sandwiches, and fries.”

“I will hit you.”

“Hit me after we order and sit down.”

After several minutes of waiting—with Jean muttering a line of colorful threats in French and Neil all but unaffected—they finally order their meals.

Or rather, more accurately, Neil orders for Jean seeing as he refused countless times and stubbornly glared at the poor cashier. Although, he knows better. With each time Jean glanced at the menu, gray eyes always found the drink section and if Neil had to guess, it was most likely the milkshakes. Sugary sweet vanilla with whipped cream and an added cherry to top it off.

Once it’s paid for and they grab their trays, he and Jean move towards a booth near the window. Jean sits on the other side as Neil takes the seat facing the door.

Neil breaks the straw through the paper, placing it on the corner of his tray as he sticks the straw into his soda that clinks with ice. As he sips his drink, Jean is staring at the wrapped food in front of him, a thin line of his lips like he’s unsure what to eat first or where to start.

“Jean,” Neil says around the straw. “Your food is going to get cold if you keep staring at it.”

“I know that. I am..thinking.”

“Mm,” Neil hums in response and takes a mozzarella stick from a bag on his tray. He reaches over the table, an elbow supporting his weight and used as leverage.

Jean’s eyes flit up at Neil then at the piece of food he’s holding. “This is not remotely healthy.”

“You’ll run it off. Take a bite.” Jean sighs, shoulders slumping forward as if he’s asking himself what deed has he done to be cursed with Neil’s existence. Neil persists and says again, “Jean. Just take one bite. It’s not going to kill you.”

“I truly, deeply, hate you.” Jean leans forward and does as he’s told, a soft crunch fills the atmosphere and he sits back as he chews.

Satisfied, Neil sits back as well and opens up a little packet of marinara sauce to dip the rest of the piece and pop it into his mouth. “Sorry. I think I’m obligated to tell you that you’re not the first person to hate me.”

They settle into a silence after that. They each eat through their burgers, dip fries or mozzarella sticks or onion rings into sauces as people come and go.

Neil is halfway through his soda when Jean picks up the straw to idly twirl around his fingers.

“It’s going to melt.”

“Not if you drink it, stupid.”

“I would’ve been fine with water.”

Neil shakes his head and takes the straw from Jean’s fingers to break the paper and slide it into the lid of the cup. He pushes it towards him, using the internal struggle of the other man to clean up whatever mess they made. By the end of it, he nudges Jean’s foot with his own. “I don’t want you to be just fine. You can have something you want, you know.”

Jean surrenders easily with that, taking a sip of his milkshake. “Not always.”

“Who’s telling you that?”

He doesn’t answer immediately, glancing out the window to watch the cars pass as it becomes later and later. “No one.”

“If you want something, tell me. Or don’t. I’ll always get it for you.”

Jean doesn’t look at him, too focused on the world outside by Neil feels Jean’s foot hook around his ankle. A silent gesture of a thank you and Neil leans back against the leather seat, taking his cup of soda into his hand.
