#I still think goth nerd fits better

[always-a-slut-4-ghouls]

Starting to feel like a cranky old lady because people and websites keep suggesting my style tastes in decor and fashion are “dark academia” and not “goth nerd” 🤨 back in my day I was considered a goth and a nerd. What is all this “aesthetic styles” you young people are talking about?

[little-pondhead]

Thinking about if Dani ever gets added to the Villain Everlasting Trio au, like how would she fit in? Obviously the JL would have to figure out she's a clone and try and figure out why she exists ("maybe fenton is just that narcissistic?" flash asks, meanwhile batman is already texts agent a to get ready another room in addition to the three already prepared). Maybe she acts like the innocent kid in danger until heroes get close? batfamily trying to pspspsps her away from fenton? The trio collectively calling her their daughter?

I love this au so much, even if I still don't fully forgive you for making Tucker hot.

The way I SPRINTED to my computer.

Disclaimer: This particular AU has nothing to do with Fun Sized and Feral by @nutcase8691 or my Dani Fenton redesign from a while ago. This isn’t really important, but I thought the plot of this au might be straying the tiniest bit too close to the Feral AU (which I love btw) and I just didn’t want to cause confusion.

TLDR: Dani had to mature too quickly in their home world, so when she arrived in the DC universe, she finally got to slow down and be a kid. :)

Okay okay. Give me a moment. Since everyone is acting like the opposite of their usual self when they're playing villains, your question was, how would she fit in? To backtrack to this earlier post, I said that each of the trio's specific gimmicks somehow ties into their everyday lives. They looked at their immediate friends, family and acquaintances, picked out the traits they saw as 'villainous,' and then applied that to themselves.

Danny became a mad scientist because even though his parents love him through and through, they still hurt him the most. The threat of capture and dissection from the GIW didn't help, either. He wears a suit similar to his parents, pushes his hair up so he can see better, and his white lab coat looks a little like the GIW's suits. The suit is also red, which is the opposite of green, distancing himself further from his hero life as Phantom and connecting him more to his civilian self, where red is present on his shirt. He refuses to use his powers, as well.

Sam looks like an angel, which seems odd given her completely goth look and slightly pessimistic attitude. And if she uses her plant powers (shut up, she totally has them) as part of Team Phantom, then that rules out using them as a villain. They want to completely separate these alter-egos from each other. Well, one of the most significant sources of strife in Sam's personal life is her parents. In the show, they're seen constantly fighting with Sam, trying to mold her into their perfect daughter, when Sam is very obviously happy with how she is right now. So as a silent fuck you to her parents, Sam gets a hold of a Realm artifact, the halo, which gives her a pair of ghostly wings and the ability of flight. Now, she's the one in the air, and Sam is still doing what she does best, even as an angel. She tries to show the world that not all angels are perfect, and in fact, they can be downright monstrous. (This is where her more aggressive and destructive attitude comes in.)

As far as I'm aware, Tucker doesn't have any trauma related to his parents. (The lucky bastard.) He is the tech-nerd stereotype, however. And since he's from a cartoon from 2004, that means he gets bullied. A lot. The show focuses mainly on Danny, but you cannot tell me Tucker wasn't bullied like that, either. For the sake of the au, let's say Danny was taking all the beatings for Tucker. Maybe he was in canon; I can't remember. But not only is Tucker being physically bullied but so is his best friend. (Eventually lover!) And imagine his feelings when Team Phantom shows up to a ghost fight, and Tucker is absolutely useless the entire time. He just can't help at all. Danny and Sam are on the front lines, redirecting hits and doing damage control, and here he is, waiting for the Wi-Fi to catch up on his PDA. It eats him up. He wants to be helpful in more ways than one, and that's what the DC universe gives him. He takes another Realm artifact; this time, it's actually his by birthright, and the artifact drastically increases his physical power, just like he's always wanted. He learns Egyptian magic and dresses in a way that gives homage to his time in Egypt-which was traumatizing by itself, but hey, he has sweet beetle magic now.

Basically, Fenton, Manson, and Foley are all the results of the trio's frustrations and fears. They become the things they stress about the most to help cope with their everyday lives. The DC universe is their outlet.

So where does Dani fit in?

Well, Dani is a clone, as we know. Her creation and introduction to the world were rather sudden if you compare her to a typical baby. And that's what she is; a baby. Unless you jumped the timeline far into the future, Dani is barely a year old in canon (I think.) And after her team-up with Danny to defeat Vlad, she makes the decision to leave Amity and travels the world. She has to navigate an entire world independently, even if Danny wants to help her. So now, plop her in the DC verse. What's the opposite of an independent clone who's had to fend for herself from a very young age and has had almost no real familial bonds?

A kid. A scared, touched-starved child who's had no one to look after her for who knows how long. (Vlad doesn't count here.) Dani gets to the DC verse and cries because she and Danny can finally bond like she always wanted to. She doesn't have to put up a strong front because the trio is there to protect her. Dani is extremely young, and now she can finally be a kid. It's not mental age regression; instead, Dani no longer has to hold herself back from doing childish things or crying. Both are things that could be a danger when you're living on the streets. She spends almost all her time here now.

The Everlasting Trio had already missed her before, but they had just fully adopted her in this new world. Dani is their baby. Their little girl. She didn't ask to be born-she shouldn't have to suffer because it was unsafe at home. Well, they can make a new one, just for her, here in this universe. And look! There’s more clones for her to bond with! The GZ is more accessible than ever, and their commute between universes really isn’t that bad. They like it here! And the heroes and villains will never take her away, no matter how hard they try. Sure, Dani can have playdates with some of them, but she will wail and scream if anyone so much as suggests she stay the night without her parent's permission.

Oh, and she never stops being a little shit. If anyone doubts that Fenton and Dani are related, they are simply ushered online to see that one viral clip of Dani latching on to King Shark with her teeth and not letting go in the middle of a shopping plaza. The camera pans to the left a moment later, and the audience spots Fenton doing the exact same thing to John Constantine.

The first time the Justice League meets Dani, it's right after she got lost during a spacewalk with Danny and Sam. She enters the first place she sees, the Watchtower, and breaks down in front of Wonder Woman about how she can't find her parents and doesn't know how to get home. The heroes are baffled and try to comfort her until Danny comes barging in five minutes later, panicking over his baby girl missing. They reunite, the heroes are reeling, and Superman mentions he didn't think Fenton was old enough to have a kid.

Fenton looks up from his bear hug and goes: "Huh? Oh, no. I'm only seventeen. (work with me here) Dani is technically my clone, but we adopted her properly as soon as possible."

And now the League has two issues. Their most annoying enemy is only seventeen. And he has a clone.

What the f u c k.

Extra analysis: Dani's outfit is cleaner and a little fancier than what she wore in the show. She ties her hair up like Tucker and pins her bangs back like Sam. She already looks identical to Danny but likes to wear his sweaters, especially in cold weather. The oversized clothes remind her of her time with Danny in Amity Park, and helps hide her physique better, so it's hard to tell how old she is. She wears leggings to show that she no longer has to fight for her life every day on the streets. Now that the trio adopted her, she can relax and let someone else take the hits for a while. (We all know how fast leggings and tights can be ruined when doing literally anything.) Fright Knight gifts her a cursed doll that helps protect her in stressful situations and functions like an SOS beacon. JLD hates the bear. (She named it Strawbeary.)

She acts on her impulses more often, which the trio sees as a good thing. Even if that impulsive desire gets her in trouble, it gives everyone a chance to learn and grow as a family. Dani also refrains from going ghost at first, following her dad's wishes. Right now, she's just giving herself a break from her previous nomadic lifestyle. After a bit, she and Danny will bond over their halfa status, and she'll grow into her own unique core and powerset. The heroes dread the day the littlest Fenton decides to join her parents in their shenanigans.

Cinderella Boy Cosplay Ideas

And here I am, with no free spending money, putting together Chase and Buddy cosplays for my husband and I. I am not in the habit of sewing my own clothes anymore (donated my dress form and sewing machine years ago) so here's the kind of look I'm going with...hoping most of it can be thrifted, or otherwise picked up inexpensively online...if I even go through with it...

Anyway if you wanna help me be a nerd and cosplay, did you know you can buy my books on Ko-Fi and it has a pay-what-you-want feature? Just saying...

Chase: Fairly easy, just a plain white shirt and pale blue jeans combined with the most 80s/90s core jacket matching his color scheme I could find:

And of course, the matching Chuck Taylor All-Stars:

And wig! It's not cosplay without a wig! (I mean it totally can be if you can't or don't want to wear a wig, but for me? gotta wig it up)

Overall looking at about... $150? Not the most I've spent on a cosplay for sure.

Fortunately my husband already has boots and slim-fit black pants so it really just comes down to the top...

Now, for Buddy, he's frequently called "mall goth" by Chase, so I want to go for a look that could come straight out of classic Hot Topic...which means, I looked mostly at brands that Hot Topic USED TO carry for inspo. Because they don't really carry a lot of goth clothes for guys anymore. ugh.

So anyway looking for a top that fit Buddy's "standard" outfit? or even his general design sense, that would make sense for my husband to wear?? Absolute hell. Fuck this design but also damn it's a good design.

Best I can fucking do is a shirt/vest combo:

And wig:

If anyone has anything better for Buddy's "standard" outfit (as we see him when first introduced) then by all means please drop recs in the reblogs/comments but. This is what we got. ~$100 for Buddy, I think?

Again not the most expensive cosplays ever but while we still have other ones we can wear...these will be on the back burner. (much as I'd like to make videos with them...)

The origins of Sibling Nephtys: Etymology

Will this be a series? Perhaps, we (Warden HQ) don't know.

As many of you know (or didn't know), my Ministry/Clergy original character is a fun, nerdy librarian by the name of Sibling Nephtys. But how did we get here? What does Nephtys mean? Why did I choose that name? Did Nephtys choose their own name? And why?

To which I say, let's find out!

In a more elaborate way than my ghulah and ifrit posts are, this is a breakdown of etymology, with regards to mythology and history.

How Did We Get Here?

The processes of actually naming my Sibling of Sin was actually quite frustrating. I am a person who enjoys etymology and language. I wanted a name that honored both my Sibling's Egyptian heritage, while retaining a Gothic feel to it. Obviously, there is no actual contradiction with having both of those - but it felt hard, when a lot of the ideas of Goth-ness were associated with historically white and European things. Even though names like Isis or Seth (Set) or even Anubis were sorta in that sphere. I wanted to handpick something. It also had to be a name that, in character, Nephtys would name himself! So I made a list of potential names that were culturally relevant and fit the themes I wanted.

The candidates were:

Samara

From the Arabic root SMR, meaning a good companion. Similar names included Samir or Samira. Initially chosen as it was a pretty name I liked. It was axed because the name meaning didn't super fit what I was going for.

Lamia

Derived from Arabic, lamea, shining. As well as the Libyan queen in Libyan-Greek mythology who was turned into a monster (many such cases). Initially chosen because of the mythological connections and geographical placement. It was axed because of the vibes, truly. It is still a very good name, I think it'd be great for a name of a Sibling of Sin.

Badriyah

Meaning 'of the full moon' in Arabic, coming from badr which is the fill moon with an added iyah suffix. Initially chosen because of, well, the moon and the night. It was axed for the fact that it didn't feel the way I wanted it to when I said Sibling Badriyah.

Qadira

Feminine version of qadir, meaning 'to be capable of' in Arabic. Initially chosen because it conveys power and authority. It was axed because I didn't like it as much as my final choice. It is actually really good as well.

Aken

A fairly unknown Egyptian god that is mentioned to be the ferryman of souls, though less than the following option, which is Kherty/Cherti. Initially chosen because of the association with the afterlife. The name was axed because I thought I could make a better OC for this name.

Cherti

An Egyptian god of the Duat, who guided and protected souls to safety on their journey to the afterlife. Initially chosen because of the association with the afterlife. It was axed because of pure mouthfeel and dissatisfaction with pronunciation on my end.

Chons

A variant on the name of the Egyptian god, Khonsu. The god of travellers, the moon, and healing. Initially chosen because again, the moon and the night. It was axed because I might use it for another character and the pronunciation.

Satis

An Egyptian goddess of fertility and war and associated with Sothis - the star beneath Sirius. Initially chosen because of the nocturnal and empyrean aspects. It was axed because I preferred the final choice over it. Still a good contender.

Lilah

From the Arabic lailah, meaning night. Initially chosen for the meaning. It was axed because I know too many Layla's in my life. Very pretty name, not for my main OC, though.

Nephtys

A derivative of Nephthys/Nebethwt, the Egyptian goddess of mourning, night, and magic. Chosen because it contained all the themes I wanted to convey with the name of my OC. Also very plausible that some very passionate nerd would pick it out from a list. Aka me, aka Nephtys. THE WINNER!

But, Warden, why Nephtys, really?

I found out I wanted a name that was associated with the Egyptian pantheon. Not only because my Sibling of Sin is a history, theology, mythology and anthropology enthusiast - but I wanted something pre-Abrahamic. It's a little funny to think about, however, within the Egyptian pantheon there is no true evil, maybe once or twice, but the darker aspects of the mythology were always essential to life. A guide like Aken and Kherti or a god of funerary rites like Anubis and Osiris, the god of the underworld, even Tawaret or Hathor - all part of life and death and what came after. If I had all these options from the Osirian gods, why did I choose Nephtys?

Let's talk about it.

Mythological Background

The name Nephtys is derived from the Egyptian goddess Nephthys, the Latin/Greek version of the name Nebethwt. I will be referring to her as Nebethwt for easier distinction between her and Nephtys (my oc) in this post. Nebethwt, the goddess, was the child of Geb (earth) and Nut (sky). She was associated with mourning, death, (temple) service, as well as magic, protection, childbirth, and embalming. Nebethwt was also referred to as Isis's mirror-twin - the darkness to Isis's light.

This is a depiction of Isis/Eset (left) and Nebethwt (right) with the Djed pillar - which symbolized Osiris's (god of the Underworld) strength and stability.

Nebethwt (nbt-hwt) translates to Lady (nbt) of the enclosure(hwt), to mean Lady of the House, or Mistress of the House - alluding to her protective aspects. Her headdress indicates that as well, as it is a symbol of the house. This protection also extended to the dead.

It also should be noted that Nebethwt was cited as Set/Sutekh's consort. Set being the god of desert storms, chaos, and war. A figure of strife, a god who attempted to usurp his brother's(Osiris) throne. Nebethwt both aided in his endeavour but also eventually helped Isis in bringing Osiris to victory.

Other associations with Nebethwt were: hawks, sycamore trees, temples, the setting sun, twilight, darkness.

So, she was very much associated with death and mourning and the night and all those fun Gothic concepts that we enjoy here. Nebethwt was a goddess that was revered and worshipped all throughout Egypt - she was popular and beloved, not unlike her sister. Together they were quote the duo, they represented such major concepts in the Egyptian pantheon. It is sometimes debated if she was truly separate from her twin sister or if they sometimes become one at times. Regardless, she is the darker aspects of Isis, but just as divine (which is similar to the playlist title I have for Nephtys).

The Final Choice

After considering all of that and reading through pages of articles and niche blog-posts, I decided on the name Nephtys. It was not the original spelling Nebethwt and not the Graeco-Latin Nephthys, and not even the Old Coptic Nepht'ho (which I did consider for a little bit, but ultimately didn't choose). I personally found that my Sibling of Sin would choose this version of the goddesses name, which is a phonetic iteration and tack on an alliterative surname - Nuit. Nuit just means night in French. It felt like the perfect name for a sixteen year old who's aching to find a new identity and comfort while still embracing their heritage.

Besides, the title Lady of the House, it made me think a lot. She was a protective figure and a powerful one, beloved and embraced by her followers. She was a protector of people, of spirits, of temples. A comfort to be found in mourning and in death. Narratively, I thought about Nephtys and what he was like and his own relationships with others and what ideas he embodies. The things he would go through. Reaching out towards something many people shy away from and staying there, soaking in it, becoming part of it. It just fits, I think.

There's something really good about finding comfort in culture, in finding all that history of language and meaning.

Sibling Nephtys definitely did.

What Partner Pokémon I think each Stardew Valley Bachelor/ette would have

I had so much fun making my cooking for the bachelors posts, that I couldn’t help but combine Stardew valley with another thing I absolutely love, Pokémon! I have been playing Pokémon since I was 8-9 and I’ve been enamored ever since.

!First Things First! Just like last time I’ll be going based off the vibes of our contestants, as with my last post this isn’t about favorites or dislikes, there will be bias on this because, like before, it’s my post you silly goose! Feel free to share what you think each person would have in the comments! Without further ado

!if anyone does any art of these please tag me! Not because I own any of this but because I want to see you creative people do such creative things!

Abigail: The resident goth of Pelican Town would seem easy at first glance, and while the gothita line appeals to me in theory, I happen to love making things difficult for myself, so I’ll go with the less obvious choice of Mismageous! Mismageous fits Abigail’s vibes well on its own, but if you factor in the theory that Abigail is The Wizards daughter, the witch Pokémon starts to feel a little more appropriate

Alex: Again there is the obvious choice of Machamp, but I think not only is that too obvious, but I also think there’s a better answer, one that fits Alex more, Riolu. The reason I have is simple, discipline. Riolu trains so hard to get better, master the power of its aura, and Alex does the same. He trains daily with push ups and working out, clearly trying to outdo himself every single day. That’s the type of discipline Riolu would want in a trainer.

Elliott: The most recent applicant of the Tortured Poets Department needs a pal that fits his constant state of the dramatic. Oshawatt in the anime is shown to a big dramatic baby, and the best part, Elliott lives at the beach, this duo of Shakespearian sea dwellers would pair like Peanut Butter & Jelly.

Emily: If you saw my last post you know Emily is the only person I’ve romanced so far, and while that remains true, last time I made a post like this I was confident in my choice for her, this time I don’t feel the same confidence. I couldn’t find any bird Pokémon that fit her energy, and short of copy pasting my favorite Pokémon (Chikorita), I couldn’t think of too much. My final verdict was Meditite. The easy way out sometimes is the only way out, and to this levitating little lad I concede defeat. They’re perfect, meditating together in perfect harmony.

Haley: As I said last time, Haley is growing on me, and with that in mind, I had to think how she’d think. What better partner, than a model for her photography. For Haley I chose, not Milotic, but instead Flebebe. The queen of the flower festival along with the flower fairy could absolutely pair so well together, and come on, think of the photos!

Harvey: Don’t say Chansey..don’t say Chansey..don’t say…oh whatever. Chansey just fits too well. Harvey is an awkward yet caring and healing nerd. Chansey is a caring healer. If Yoba didn’t want PB&J sandwiches, he shouldn’t have made them pair so well.

Leah: The artist of Pelican Town seems to go under the radar, at least in my play throughs, but I promise soon I’ll change that! While I could go Smeargle I still feel dirty about Harvey’s Pokémon, so I need to think outside the box, and I think Ludicolo could work for two reasons, admittedly not great reasons. The first, his little hat could be used to hold things while Leah works on her newest project. The second and in my opinion more valid reason is that Ludicolo could help Leah remember to relax, and not stress about every single thing. Art is hard.

Maru: Some may say this is the easy way out, but I think it’s clever. Instead of a Pokémon like Klink or Magnemite, my choice for our inventor is Rotom. The little ghost possesses machines and helps them come to life, is there anything more Maru wants? Okay, maybe for her dad to not be right next to her every second of every day but Rotom could help with that too…⚡️⚡️⚡️

Penny: The literary love interest is another one that kind of stumps me, but I think I cracked the code. Munna is my pick for Penny because of its ability to eat and help Penny experience dreams, helping an imaginative character escape the life she’s stuck in could absolutely give Penny and Munna purpose.

Sam: There isn’t a wrong answer for Sam, but for the thrill ride lover, my pick would be Charizard because of two reasons. It can fly, and also, look at Sam and tell me he wouldn’t love a flaming dragon.

Sebastian: Left out, out of place, doesn’t feel like they fit in or that their voice matters, you thought of one of two things. Sebastian or Mimikyu. Together these two could help each other find their voice, or in theory be at least a little less lonely.

Shane: In my last post I admitted I don’t like Shane. I’m happy to admit that’s not completely the case anymore based off what I learned about him and Jas, but this post isn’t about my feelings toward the characters, y’all wouldn’t read that. (Would you?) this is about partner Pokémon, and for Shane I was stumped, until I remembered the main arc of Shane. He needs a purpose. What better purpose than a Purrloin. My original choice was Lillipup but Purrloin simply fit the vibes better

Well, that’s all folks! I hope you enjoyed! Let me know in the replies what you think! Stay beautiful.- Sage •_<

sorry for spam liking/reblogging ur swap au LOL. but i saw u asked for swap au asks and i have plenty of questions so:

would light and l end up dating in the swap au? would it be fake dating like canon yagamane or real dating like canon lawlight? if they do date do you think they’d be open about it or would they consider it too much of a risk to their kira personas? what would be soichiro’s reaction, and misa and the task force’s opinions?

does l like light’s blond hair or does he prefer his natural hair? and what does he think about his outfits (canon l was so horny for light even when my guy was wearing khaki everything and like. brown suits. what would he think of light wearing goth fits with tons of accessories (inc chains) and skirts and stuff 😭)

how comfortable do you think light and l would be with mikami and kiyomi discovering their kira identities, on accident or on purpose? because they’re still pro-kira, right? on that note, how comfortable is light with mikami and l with kiyomi? what does light think of mikami being in love with him (i assume he knows, lol)?

is light’s fanbase more international or national? and what’s his relationship with his fans like? what does the general public think of him? what do other celebs tend to think of him? and speaking of other celebs, have light and ryuga hideki interacted? ik you said light is more of a performer than an actor but if he’s acted at least a little, was one of his roles a romance movie with ryuga hideki like misa in canon?

how do ryuk and l get along? are they buddies like canon ryuk and light? and how do light and ryuk get along when they meet in this au? does light play video games with rem like he does in canon with ryuk?

do any of them have pets? i could totally see light with a giant fluffy cat.

does l act similarly to canon, eating lots of sugar and sitting weirdly and stuff? his fashion style seems a little more similar to canon light’s, is it just for appearance’s sake or does he find it comfortable? does misa still like gothic and occult stuff? is light still a huge nerd?

what’s light’s relationship with sayu and sachiko like?

how did l find the death note (sorry if u already mentioned that)?

sorry for spamming you with so many questions, ik it’s a lot but i started writing them and just kept thinking of more as i went lol. i love the swap au, it’s so fun, and your art style is literally so gorgeous i’m obsessed with it.

have a good day <3

THIS IS SUCH A BIG ONE I THANK U FOR UR SERVICE 🛐🛐

light and L probably wouldn’t end up openly dating though they’d definitely flirt terribly and they may date in private. they definitely feel. a certain way about each other. but both are far too smart to draw suspicion to themselves by dating. misa probably sees it coming because their frustrations were very similar from the start and they have similar opinions about the government (even if she thinks light is harmless and L is kira). soichiro is a different story because he’s likely wary around L anyways. L doesnt like the police even if he’s working on the case by recommendation and when light waltzes in and makes contact he knows immediately that L is the type of person light would get involved with to make him uncomfortable. he still refuses to acknowledge whatever light is going through isn’t something he’ll grow out of.

i’m not sure what hair color L likes better! he definitely thinks light is attractive but he’s still primarily attracted to his intelligence. im sure L is. Completely Definitely super Normal about light’s fashion choices…. (no one believes him)

L wouldnt be comfortable at all with kiyomi discovering shit because he’s a very secretive lone wolf as always and wouldn’t want her messing anything up for him or light even if she’s a supporter, but he gets along with her just fine as a person. Mikami likely knows fairly quickly light is kira 2 because light tells him. they’re best friends and mikami is his manager so light probably manipulates mikami’s feelings for him as he does with misa in canon (without dating him) but sees him more like another rem. he’s a friend, but definitely not “anywhere near his league”.

i imagine light’s fanbase is more international! japan is pretty rule driven and strict so like ado’s “usseewa” he probably gets a lot of people in japan disliking his music and talking controversially about it but internationally in countries that have a more rebellious outlook he’s the coolest guy around. his relationship with his fans is not unlike his relationship to his peers in canon, he charms them and talks to them and looks cute and genuine even if it’s an act, but he’s a bit of an outcast among his peers who think he’s a bit of a freak or a mental case. and also- funny you mention hideki 💀 i never did decide on this but it had crossed my mind

i talked about ryuk and L in an ask i answered a few minutes ago so ill go more in depth on the others! light and ryuk get along much the same as misa and ryuk did, but ryuk thinks light is far more entertaining than L so hes a little more enthusiastic. when it comes to rem i think he would play games with her! he probably treats her a little like a big sister or almost motherly figure since he doesn’t have one so rem becomes very protective of him

light doesn’t have a relationship with sachiko since she’s dead which causes a lot of the friction, but his relationship with sayu is a lot closer than canon! he basically had to look after her himself when their dad often wasn’t available and she thinks he’s super cool and thinks the world of him while light is pretty protective of sayu in return because it’s always been the two of them against the world

I figured L would find the death note pretty similarly to light because he’s already in japan himself.

I LOVE QUESTIONS SO DONT BE SORRY!!! IM SO GLAD U LOVE THE SWAP AU BECAUSE I DO TOO… AND TYSM 🛐🛐

have a good day yourself too!

Here's some clearer sprites of Ianno.

Bonus:

(Turn Landscape to get a better view)

Some stuff with Ianno has changed some info will stay the same.

Ianno can be pronounced as Ayano or e-an-o.

Ianno was originally in Savannah claw but transferred to Scarabia due to some disagreements he had with Leona, but stays close friends with Ruggie.

Ianno is vegan, and prefers to eat salads and such.

He likes to pull off pranks on other dorm mates he doesn't like, ( it's actually the reason he got kicked out of- I mean transferred out of Savannah claw.)

Ianno has a strange friendship with Deuce.

His natural hair colour is red with blue highlights but dyed it black because he (was in his goth phase.) didn't want to draw too much attention to himself.

Ianno doesn't have his long hair anymore, sorry y'all.

And I debated this so many times, but Ianno is no longer a bird beast man but a regular human. And I also ditched the earrings...

High school Ianno was way different from Ianno now, he...looked like a nerd. No seriously, he had glasses and braces; always flamboyant and bubbly. he liked all things nerdy like anime, videogames, dnd.... But he was bullied by his peers. So when entering NRC he changed his looks and personality to one that didn't attract attention.

But deep down Ianno is still a flamboyant nerd at heart, he would act all cold and distant but once you get to know him personally it's like he's a different person.

He hates Kalim because he reminds him of his high school self, he still cringes to this day.

Hates over used jokes and prefer puns like the gentleman he is.

He loves Niege Le Blanc, and Vil due to Rook's influence. He low-key came to NRC because he wanted to meet Vil, he didn't want to transfer to Pomefiore after leaving Savannah claw because he'd be the laughing stock of the dorm...so he chose Scarabia.

Ianno is childhood friends of Ruggie and Rook, he sees Room as an older brother though... And practically begged them not to tell anyone about his high school self.

He and Sebek have this strange rivalry.

Plot relevance:

Book 2:

Ianno is mentioned briefly by Ruggie and Jamil in book 2, with Jamil saying " If I didn't know any better I'd think Ianno was behind this " when talking to prefect and the others, and with Ruggie talking about pinning the blame on him.

Book 3:

Ianno was one of the many people in Azul's dept and where he makes his first appearance in the game. He doesn't play much of a huge roll but help's prefect and the others out, as he and Leona distract Azul as they get the painting.

Book 4:

This is where Ianno play a major roll in this book. He was actually working with Jamil to over throw Kalim, because he was promised the position of vice housewarden when Jamil took over.

When Jamil and Ianno were busted Ianno didn't expect Jamil to overblot, the next he was flinged across the dorm's dimension with the others. When he was ( threatened with a torturous death) asked nicely by Jade and Floyd what the hell was going on his cold calculating persona dropped and starting crying.

He explained that the reason he helped Jamil is because he wanted to be seen as someone useful, someone reliable and didn't know Jamil would go that far to actually kill someone let alone overblot. The others realize that Ianno was also a pawn in Jamil's manipulation just like everyone else.

Ianno wanted to make it up to them and helped them out.

After defeating Jamil and relaxing Ianno apologized profusely, it looks like the cold and calculating Ianno was just a front... In reality he was just a kid trying to fit in but helped by the wrong influence.

Book 5:

Like Jamil, Ianno's reputation was tarnished. I mean, he did help Jamil almost over throw Kalim.

Ianno's cold calculating persona is still there but it would be dropped once in a while when someone would bring up his favorite topics, he would have a sudden burst of energy but quickly mask it as if nothing happens. For example when that commercial of Neige was on Ianno was visibly excited to watch it.

When staying at Ramshackle, he would have a moment with prefect apologizing about the events of book 4, and basically giving them his backstory. He was bullied and seen as a nobody by his peers, and wanted to be somebody; he changed for the people around him and not for himself... being someone who he can't be...who he wasn't.

"My greatest ability is to be anyone who I want to be....but why can't I be myself?"

His own self doubt and esteem caused him to make some bad decisions,( like helping Jamil) afraid to be left out or abandoned by others for not being what they want him to be... but he thanks prefect for helping him on the right track.... He gave them a small hug and went back inside the dorm.

He wanted to join SDC to meet Vil (even thought he could've meet him anytime since they go to the same school.) And would go through the audition, And yeah he basically fanboyed when meeting Vil. He went up to him shaking his hand, crying and wanting him to sign everything he's own, but realizing he was in front of other people he quickly masked that up and apologized to Vil for his out burst.

When the day of the SDC arrived Ianno was self conscious about himself but was assured by Rook that he was doing great. When Vil overblotted we see the first time Ianno uses his unique magic "Mocking Bird" as he turned into Neige to distract Vil.

After dealing with that they finished their performance... And, the votes were in...and it was...Neige, obviously everyone was upset at Rook...(till this day Ianno would never admit he voted for Neige ) that's when Neige showed up and congratulated them, Rook and Ianno were crying when meeting him both fanboying over him.

Book 6:

Ianno was kidnapped with the overblots due to him showing sign of overblot. He mostly just with the overblots in the book, when STYX was in lock down and everyone separated in groups he went with Leona and Jamil while heading down the facility and fighting the titans they would all share stuff about them. Ianno confessed to Leona and Jamil that he wanted to join Pomefiore not Savannah claw or Scarabia, and he's debating to do it when they get back to NRC....

When everyone made it to tartarus to fight Idia and Ortho, Riddle got too close and passed out; he caught Riddle in time but passed out as well. Jamil and Azul carried Ianno and Riddle to safety.

When Ianno woke up he was tackled by Kalim with a hug saying how worried he was for him and Jamil, Ianno found that him and the others were back at school, but his hair was white as well as Riddle's and Vil was old. Malleus soon fixed it, but when turning Ianno's hair back into it's original state he actually removed the dye from his hair turning it back to it's natural hair colour. Malleus offered to change his hair back to it black colour but said, " N..No, I like it this way...it feels....feels like me. "

temerice stature, motion, formal

oc asks: character design edition

TEMMY TIME!! THANK YOU ANON ILY I love thinking about her so much

stature: What’s your OC’s body type? How tall are they? Do they wear clothing to accentuate their look or do they try to mask it?

Temmy's body type is pretty lanky but not overtly so! I will have to research on this properly whenever I get the chance, but before her embrace she used to have estrogen tablets in smaller doses since her hormone transition was more or less in its beginning stages, and as such she hadn't yet put on more fat on her bones and the fat distribution shift is now stuck in a sort of mid-stage. She is an average height, standing at about 165 cm / 5'4" tall.

Being a computer geek and spending most of her free time fiddling with codes at home and rarely going out, her physique is not super exercised, which is something she used to struggle with a lot in her life as a human. She felt very inadequate, especially since she felt a lot of pressure on how she "had" to present to the world - which meant baggy and covering clothes were her go-to. Now, as a fledgling, she doesn't go out of her way to accentuate her body type necessarily but she cares less about what people think of her appearance.

I definitely want to expand more on how she transitioned from human to vampire psychologically, and how her embrace positively affected her relation to gender as well, but more or less one thing she realized is that she was so entrenched in her insecurity (not by fault of her own, tbh) that she had no idea how more people love lanky alt nerds than she thought! Especially girls!

That said if she could she would continue HRT, but I guess that is a limit based on how "faithful" I want to be to the VTM TTRPG lore. I could also just say fuck it and say she can still take it, hahah

motion: How does your OC move? How does their clothing help or hinder their range of motion? Are they flexible, coordinated, clumsy?

Temerice tends to wear baggy, loose clothes, kind of reminiscent of the skater boy and nu-metal mall goth style of the late 90s-early 2000s, so undoubtedly her range of movement is only limited by her physical skills. The heavy chains dragging her pants down might not help but that's just something you gotta sacrifice for the sake of a cool style.

She is a bit clumsy since physical activities were never her forte, though as Kindred her skills have obviously become better with experience, especially as she is specialized in melee fighting. For comparison she is not on Ranx's level of skill with weapons but she can swing a mean axe with no problem. Of course being a Gangrel only contributes to her advantage in fighting now, but she's very young and still learning the ropes of her disciplines.

formal: What’s your OC’s formal look? Do they like dressing up? Do they have different looks for different occasions?

Formality and Temerice have never really been compatible... She loves being comfy much more than looking "dressed up". She's worn her couple of suits for family events before she moved away on her own and transitioned socially, but even now that she feels comfortable as butch she doesn't really care for restricting clothes. The most formal it can get is her wearing a band tee and proper clean shoes and maybe a vest jacket, possibly with her hair up. Her in a suit? Nah... it's not gonna happen. For her it toes a bit too much in gender territories she doesn't want to get into again and feels like it just doesn't fit her.

[the-girl-from-another-place]

When I made this I was still in September, I now realize that you guys are totally right about Mina fitting better in goth. Consider her and vH switched. Also I forgot renfield?! Another for the goth/nerd I think

[dannyphantom-justiceleauge]

Danny is the type of kid who becomes tall out of nowhere and then get begged to play a sport

hell yeah. we've seen dan, we've seen his dad. puberty is gonna hit our boy like a freaking truck. plus he's already proven fairly athletic from all his ghost hunting, doing flips and throwing punches, and running constantly. i fully believe that the whole trio is secretly ripped. not in aesthetic way but in a practical way. because again they're out fighting, running, dodging, blasting. they'd probably do well on track out of everything.

so for this situation i see a slow unveiling of talent. danny developed something of an indifference to dash's bullying because he's dealing with worse and more important things. so usially he just goes with the situation to get it over with as fast as possible. like yes, throw me in the locker, i have class that i want to be on time for, for a change, lets move this along. this is back when he's still short. tucker still looks nerdy and thin and is still more interested on relying on his tech than any athletic ability. sam is the most recognized as somewhat athletic but most people just see the goth and don't notice the arm muscles or calf's she's rocking. girl could bench press paulina, and no one realizes.

until

some sort of ghost attack. i feel like the one where the kids had to fight to get their parents back would fit as the beginning of the realization. like danny sam and tucker hold their own through that fight. danny actually shows a fair bit of coordination and helps the others with ghost hunting training. i think it would be around then that people note that they're not as weak as they look. then over a series of other attacks across a time period, people start really noticing. tucker climbs a building to get to a high point to use a megaphone for evacuation. sam literally princess carries paulina out of a situation. danny in human form punches skulkers head off. it's one of those things that make it into vague rumor but isn't a big enough deal to get much louder, than a few confused comments.

then puberty hits and suddenly a lot of their physical progress suddenly becomes obvious. they all fill out in ways the student body isn't prepared for. like they figured out on paper that the trio are kind of strong, but then suddenly tucker is showing off his abs to the girls and his pecs and arms are showing through his slightly too tight shirt, and he's still managing to be a total nerd about it. sam gets pretty tall, especially with her boots and she has the posture and confidence to seem like a model or mma fighter. she's that much scarier. no one wants to fuck with her. and then there's danny. who shot up to six feet over the course of a summer, has the chris evens v-chest kinda going on, is struggling to find shirts that fit now, constantly bumping his head because he no longer has the same clearance, and he's still growing!

of course, they're gonna be begged to join various teams/ have sudden spike in popularity. i imagine tucker is living for this attention but danny and sam kinda liked being ignored better. danny initially enjoyed the attention but it quickly became apparent that people paying attention to you makes it a lot harder to keep a secret. he also just doesn't have time fore sports. the ghosts don't care about his schedule but coach tesloff and all of his team mate care a lot. he doesn't want to disappoint anyone. i could see a whole episode about this, danny tries at football it ultimately doesn't work out, tucker spends the episode showing off to girls until they get sick of it/it blows up in his face. and for sam, oho, sam gets offered a modeling job that has paulina foaming at the mouth in jealousy. she accepts the job purely to piss her off. there's a lot of fun to be had with this - Hestia

fluff/relationship: 20, blupjeans? -peri

20. “I heard that!” “You were supposed to!”

--

Kravitz would never truly regret striking a deal to make Lup and Barry reapers, but damn, did he come closer sometimes. The Story and Song had rightfully painted them as textbook heroes: Resilient, strong, stubborn, with just a slight habit of recklessness and a yearning to learn all they could. Did those characteristics fit them? Yes. Did that mean they were good coworkers?

Well...

"I was gone for all of five minutes," Kravitz said, standing at the entrance to his sitting room with a platter of tea in his hands. Taako had recently taught him how to make tiny sandwiches, so there were some of those on the platter, too.

His couch had been overturned. Barry was sitting on the floor, resting against it, and reading a book he had gotten from gods know where. Lup was nowhere to be found, but the door to the hallway was open, so Kravitz had a bad feeling about the whole thing.

"Oh, hey," Barry said. He closed the book. The cover read DARK MAGICS AND ROMANCE: ONE IN THE SAME? "Sorry, I got bored."

"What happened to my couch?" Kravitz said, hurrying forward. He put the platter down on the coffee table. Barry took a tiny sandwich.

"Lup," he said and took a bite. "Ohhh, that hits the spot. Thanks, bud."

"Why?" Kravitz asked. Barry shrugged, taking his time to chew. Kravitz started to heave the couch back up. Barry took a sip of tea.

"She's a fan of snooping," Barry said. From somewhere down the hall, Lup's voice said,

"I heard that, babe!"

"You were supposed to!" Barry called back. He was smiling. "D'you want help with the couch or?"

"Just- stay here," Kravitz said, letting the couch fall back to how it was before. He huffed out a breath, leaning against it for a second. Then, he straightened up and said, "I'm gonna go find Lup."

He crept down the hallway, checking each and every room. His office was thankfully left alone, because he had remembered to lock it. The door to his bedroom wasn't open yet. The same could not be said about the bathroom, where he found Lup on the floor, sorting out cleaning supplies.

"You are a terrible house guest," Kravitz said.

"Why do you even need these?" Lup said, ignoring his statement entirely. "Like, do you shower? Or piss? 'Cus I'm pretty sure your dead-"

"I'm not dead-dead, I'm-"

"So you don't really need to do those things, right?" she continued. "I admire the skull aesthetic, though. I've got no idea how you got your hands on fantasy scrubbing bubbles with a fuckin' skull lid-" she held up the offending item. Kravitz decided to not share that it was a gift from the Raven Queen a few candle nights ago. "-But the concept is excellent, so I'll give you that.

"Can we just... go eat the sandwiches I made?" Kravitz asked. "Please?"

"Also, hey- hey Kravitz," Lup, who he was now sure was ignoring him just out of spite, laughed, standing up and snatching his toothbrush off the counter. "Is your toothbrush actually a bone or is it just made to look like that?"

"You're gonna make fun of me no matter what I say," Kravitz said, trying to take it from her. She held it out of his reach, laughing. "Lup, please-"

"Babe," Lup said loudly over his head. Kravitz groaned. "Come take a look at Krav's fuckin' toothbrush. You're gonna love it."

"Coming!" came Barry's voice.

"I wish someone else had saved the world," Kravitz said.

"Oh, you and me both, pal," Lup said. "Sorry, is your toilet bowl brush also shaped like a skull? This is like Barry's goth phase all over again."

"I like to think I'm still in my goth phase," Barry said, appearing at the bathroom door. Kravitz sat himself down on the toilet, head in his hands. He should have refused the idea of tea with them at all. He was dating Taako, he should have known better than this.

"Look!" Lup said, waving the toothbrush in Barry's face. Barry laughed, catching her hand to look closer. "He's such a fucking nerd, Barry."

"Well, uh, you're one to talk, babe," Barry said, smiling. "But that is kinda embarrassing, yeah. Krav, how old are you?"

"Either eat the sandwiches or go home!" Kravitz said, throwing his hands up. "What do you want from me!"

"Oh, you're stuck with us, bones," Lup said. "Bar, look at these scrubbing bubbles."

He did not regret having them as coworkers. Maybe if he said it enough times it'd be true.

[lucifer-is-a-bag-of-dicks]

what happened the first time Wes tried to crack open the Danny is Phantom conspiracy did he like, confront Danny first or was it all behind his back like, maybe hoping ground zero would be lost among the gossip and that Danny wouldn't find out who spilled the beans once everyone knew

I mean it obviously wouldn't work because nobody believed him and the gossip didn't take off very far beyond a few people talking about Wes being kinda weird

I should absolutely write a fic about this.

I am absolutely going to write a fic about this.

I AM RIGHT NOW GOING TO WRITE A FIC ABOUT THIS.

----

"Hey Fenton! Fenton!!" Dash came bounding over and threw a meaty arm around his shoulder.

"Jesus Dash! What?!" Danny buckled under the weight (pretended to anyway) as Dash gave him a surprisingly lighthearted punch on the arm.

"You haven't heard?! Wes has this total batshit insane theory, it's hilarious!"

Dash was in a genuine giggle-fit, Danny didn't think he'd ever seen him this merry, he was also starting to suspect he was going to leave this conversation being the butt of the joke somehow. Wait-

"Wes? Who the heck is Wes?" Danny asked, it wasn't like he knew everyone in school, like Dash seemed to.

"He's on the basketball team, you know, tall guy, red hair, threw a sick move at least month's game! You know, WES!"

"I didn't watch that game."

"Oh," said Dash, flatly, "Oh yeah, almost forgot you're a total nerd. Anyway, like I was saying!"

Dash grabbed Danny by the shoulders and nearly lifted him off the floor.

"Wes thinks," he could barely speak through his giggling, he even snorted a few times, "Wes thinks your secretly PHANTOM."

Dash dropped Danny back down as he doubled over laughing.

"Could you imagine?! You! You're not even DEAD!" Dash honest to god slapped his knee in mirth.

Danny went through an incredibly swift array of emotions in the span of about five seconds.

The first was fear, clear and bracing, then came confusion, how did he know? Had he seen something? Then there was hope, Dash didn't believe it, and if DASH didn't believe it, maybe nobody else believed it either. Then relief, he could roll with this, he could TOTALLY roll with this! Dash was right! It was absurd, it was ridiculous, it was hilarious, him being Phantom? What utter nonsense!

Sam and Tucker had been standing by his side at a Dash-safe distance, looking absolutely horrified. Sam looked ready to jump in and lay down a swift defence, but Danny gave a quick little low wave for her to stand down. He got this.

"Oh my god SERIOUSLY?" Danny busted out a slightly hysterical laugh, okay so he wasn't completely over the initial terrified anxiety.

"How could I- I mean what- WHY does he think I'M Phantom?! I mean how does that even work I don't-"

Dash clapped him on the shoulder, this was probably the most contact he'd ever had with him without being physically assaulted.

"I know right?! Like apparently he thinks you look alike? And he's all like 'But I've seen his eyes glow green' and 'they're never in the same roo-hoo-hoom." Dash wheezed and started hacking and coughing.

Danny carefully constructed a look of offence.

"Hey I mean, it's not THAT funny. Why couldn't I be Phantom! I know how to use a Fenton Thermos! Look I even HAVE one right-" he torn open his backpack and pulled one out, making sure to fumble it in a terrific display of fuck-uppery and drop it noisily on the cafeteria floor, he dropped to his knees trying to grab it but knocked it under a table.

A few girls standing nearby who'd been listening in started tittering, one of the guys sitting at the table snorted milk through his nose and Dash was just about on the floor in hysterics.

Even Sam and Tucker covered their mouths in an attempt to look like they were holding in laughter. Tucker muttered to Sam, just loud enough for people around to hear.

"I mean, he's our friend and we love him, but god that was painful to watch. He knows he's terrible at ghost hunting! He's got like, nothing but thumbs."

Danny climbed under the table, grabbed at the thermos and lifted it up as he crawled back out.

"See! See! I have a thermos! I could TOTALLY be Phantom!"

Sam walked over and placed a gentle hand on his shoulder. "It's okay bud, I think you'd be a great Phantom." her voice was thick with her usual sarcasm, soaked in pity though it were.

Danny's ears burned in embarrassment, he might have been humiliating himself on purpose, but it was still humiliating, watching everyone laugh at him for being so weak and incompetent. He was grateful to his friends for pushing through their discomfort and keeping up the act, it was still painful, but it came with a wash of pure unadulterated relief.

Nobody believed this Wes guy, nobody thought it could be even remotely possible. People would talk about it for a little while, have a laugh, maybe there would be a few memes and in-jokes, but eventually it would drop off. People would forget all about it and it would be just another notch on the gossip mill belt.

Even if someone DID believe it, they could never admit it for fear of vicious ridicule, for once in his life peer pressure was his friend.

And then Wes walked in.

Once Danny saw him he realised that he did recognise Wes, he'd seen him hanging around Kwan a few times, and chatting with Star, he was also in Danny's english class. That was about as familiar as he got with the guy, they'd never spoken a word to each other.

Wes had a terrifying expression of seething fury ripping across his face. He was glaring at Dash.

"It's NOT. FUNNY."

Dash was completely unable to stand, it was honestly overkill, Danny almost thought he was hamming it up on purpose, but maybe not, his face was turning an alarming shade of red after all.

"Wes don-" Dash gasped. "Don't do this to me man, I can't brea-" Dash was gasping for air, trying desperately to hold down the giggles.

Danny could almost see steam rising as Wes seethed. Then suddenly that furious stare was shooting daggers straight at him. Danny shrank into himself, looking as small and helpless as he possibly could.

"Uh hey Wes, um, I've heard the news." he joked tacking on a nervous laugh for emphasis. "Uh, soooo," he tossed the thermos from hand to hand, nearly dropping it again. "Is this like, just a joke or do you really-?"

Dash continued to wheeze, Kwan was holding him up by the arm, muttering about getting some water to cool off.

Wes strode over until he and Danny were face to face, he was taller by a good couple inches, even more so with Danny making a conscious effort to appear small.

Wes jabbed a sharp finger into his collarbone.

"Don't think I'm fooled by this pathetic act you've got going on, I am ONTO you, Phantom." he spat.

Danny glanced sidelong at the table beside him, silently begging for assistance, they only watched in silence, strained faces trying not to laugh. A glance the other way to his friends, they simply shrugged.

"Um, okaaay," Danny started backing away slowly. "Uh look Wes I am honestly really flattered but, do we really look that alike?" Danny ran a hand through his hair and then pointed up at Wes. "I mean we BOTH kinda have Phantom's haircut."

Sam deadpanned from the sidelines, "Maybe they're BOTH Phantom."

"We should start marketing that haircut." Tucker muttered to himself, tapping something on his tablet. "We could make a fortune, are you any good at hairdressing?"

Sam shot him a look of disgust and did not dignify the question with a response.

"Don't play dumb you two," said Wes, flipping his focus, "You're definitely in on this!"

The entire cafeteria was awash with giggles by this point. Just about everyone had heard about Wes' theory, but were mostly convinced it was some kinda joke. Now? Now they knew Wes was straight up fucking delusional.

He glanced around as people laughed, at him. At HIM.

"It's not funny!" he yelled over the crowed, the tittering increased in volume. Someone across the room yelled-

"Hey if I get the haircut, can I be Phantom too?"

One of the goths stood up on her seat.

"I've GOT the haircut! Mom says it's MY TURN to be the Phantom!"

There was a fresh round of mirthful laughter, some kids wheezing as hard as Dash had been. Another few kids piped up above the cacophony, throwing jokes of their own.

"I've got a soup thermos so I'm Phantom now, sorry sweaty I don't make the rules."

"If I wear a Phantom shirt does that make me Phantom ALL the time or am I only Phantom when I'm wearing it?"

"I have an ass, Phantom has an ass. Conclusion: I am Phantom's ass."

"Tag yourself I'm the thermos."

"DO THE BUTTS MATCH?"

Wes had been trying to scream over the din, infuriated, desperate to find SOMEONE who would listen.

Danny gave him a pat on the back.

"Hey, if it makes you feel any better, The Guys in White once hunted some guy down because he had white hair, if a government agency can fuck that up then-"

Wes slugged him.

It wasn't a particularly solid punch like Dash's hits, it was quick and precise, Was wasn't a brawny guy, but he was lean and fast and had good aim.

Danny whuffed out a heavy breath as Wes' fist collided with his sternum and he collapsed to the floor.

Everyone in the cafeteria lost their shit, a few people screamed and one table of football jocks all stood up chanting, "FIGHT. FIGHT. FIGHT. FIGHT."

Tucker ran over to him as Sam stepped up and without hesitation slammed a fist straight into Wes' nose.

The footballers lost their minds, one of the goths stood up on their table screaming "REPRESEEENT!!"

Wes backed up immediately, crying out from the sharp pain blossoming across his face, he'd never been hit before and couldn't pull his thoughts together quick enough to throw a punch back at her, so he was taken by surprise once again as Sam placed a solid roundhouse kick to his stomach.

He had certainly not been expecting that kind of brute strength from her, she had incapacitated him swiftly and effectively, barely having broken a sweat.

One of his teammates hollered over the crowd and came barrelling down on the goth, she dodged without batting an eye and darted nimbly out of the way, giving the guy a quick kick in the pants to throw him off balance as she rocketed for the cafeteria door.

As Wes took a deep breath through his mouth, his nose dripping blood, he realised that Danny and Tucker were gone. The fight had lasted only seconds but Sam had run distraction well enough for the boys to take off without anyone noticing, a glance around showed Tucker supporting Danny about to exit through the cafeteria doors.

The doors opened to an out of breath Mr Lancer on the other side.

"'The Light Fantastic!' WHAT is going on here?!"

Oh they were all so fucked.

Round 1 — Reiaki: “Waaaaa I’m usually a staff member behind the chair for these kinda things so I’m so frickin’ excited to be in the judges’ seat for once! Huh… I wonder why I was picked for this role this time around… ah who cares! I’m pumped! Leeeeet’s get it!”

“Ren-kun and Kureha-chan, you both have this gothic rocker vibe happening, so maybe you’re just playing to my personal preferences~ smart, you two! Or maybe that’s just how you two are anyway. Yeah yeah, I’ll shut up now. Aaaaanyway! You both pull off each others’ looks well! The hair’s kinda a mess on both sides but both makeup and outfits are —muah! Chefs kiss!”

“I guess I’m here to judge so I’m gonna do my job, so… I don’t get what’s happening here with… America’s Sweethearts… Evelyn-chan… I had faith in you cuz you’re a good friend of mine and you’re in the modeling industry, but uh… what did you do to this guy? Ethnic getup, dress shoes, and an American eagle necklace? It’s all over the place, girlie. And as for ‘Acey’ here! Hehe! I’m not mad at what you put your girlfriend in. It’s clean, it’s professional, but my god— those tights that peek out from under this dress pants have got to go die. Like, now.”

*Whistles* “Well looked here! Miss Sakura over here actually looks identical to Yano-kun! Well… add on the extra height, the massive badonkas. And wow wow wow! Who would’ve thought Yano Ietsuna could look this put-together? I mean, you were in the men’s pageant, but still! This is something else! It’s simple, minimalistic, but it’s well thought out! Good job, bro!”

“Hehe! Who knew? The Kaoru Shinozaki, all-too famous for those god-awful Hawaiian shirts, is in this gorgeous gothic getup? Not all of these accessories really go together, though, I do have to say that. It does kinda look like a mishmash of accessories… also, I’m no stranger to black eyeshadow or lip colors, but I think they look kinda… chalky? So it gives this kinda muddy color. Anyway, I’ll shut up and move on— I like all the gears Kaoru picked out for Lyall! The colors work really well together and the baggy silhouette does work well with this kinda techwear look! I do think it could’ve all been a bit more cohesive, but other than that? I like what I’m looking at!”

“Can I just say? I love, love, LOVE the makeup that Criss-chan has on! I could go all nerd-mode on how cute this makeup look is but that can go on for hours and I don’t needa clog up y’all’s eardrums with my bullshit! Ha! Though… I don’t love the fit? It’s kinda oversaturated with all the fishnets so it looks a little busy… ANYWAY, next up! Ooooooo! Kanade-chan just looks so cute! Love this semi-pastel goth look that you have going on! Schoolgirl skirts with really big shirt sleeves? I mean, you can’t go wrong! And you gotta love the colors! I think Kanade-chan pulls off Criss’s style really nicely! Good job, you two!”

“What, do you two just have the same style? There’s parts of Touya-kun’s fit that I absolutely adore, some parts I don’t love. Like the shades, the top, the skirt, and those boots! Eeee they’re just the cutest! And then there’s stuff like the beret, the gloves, and the stockings that i don’t love with this look. Don’t get me wrong— they’re cute! Just not super fitting with this. The skirt on the lovely Kaiji is kinda at an awkward length and I don’t think the hair ribbon really goes with the whole look. And a blue eye look when there’s not really any blue anywhere on his outfit is kind of a… hmm… hmm… I guess for a lack of a better word, ‘questionable’ choice! Also, no fair that these two have amazing hair, like what the fuck?”

*Snickers* “Never did I think I’d live to see the day our giant dresses so extravagantly! I mean, Aoba, you put him in a skirt?! Bonus points for me! Now, Luis-san! Put a little more effort in for your partner yeah? I know the whole point is ‘opposite day’ but come onnnnnnn! It’s boring!”

“Ok, Lola-chan, love that arrogance— ahem… confidence that you’re emitting. Guess it comes with the territory of modeling, yeah? But y’know what? Sure! You’ve got the body to back it up! Though… I think your brain-dead partner over there just bought clothes that he wanted to see on you rather than placing his style onto you. You gonna tell me Karada-san is gonna show up in spandex for his next gym sesh? Huh… Actually, that’d be a moment! Ha! But I gotta say, great picks from Lola! Surprised you could find anything that fit this man! Let alone silk and satin clothes that fit him! But he looks great! Well thought out!”

“Teal and gold are a match made in Heaven, it was labeled as the number one color combination a few autumns ago. You’ve got a flowy jacket and a flowy skirt and it’s all cinched by this beautiful belt. It’s overall a great runway look. Now, Tomi Chōten? I mean, I don’t have much to say? Like I’m not too big on all the patterns just mashed up together. But I will say, the tuxes and suits are all well-fitted, great color palettes. You could’ve done more with your hair, buddy, but otherwise, there’s not much for me to add on.”

“I just gotta say, I never, ever, ever! Thought I’d see Eldrid dress up! Chuhoku! You did one thing right for once! So I can see the gloriousness! Bahahahaha! Whew… Either way, I can say for a fact… that casting aside my love for all things lolita and gothic lolita, I definitely don’t love this choice in outfit. The general shape is just all wrong, it’s just not for me. Now onto wifey, Kirumi Mayeda! I like the casual nature! I don’t know how close this is to dressing up like Eldrid— which I guess says more about the partner than Kirumi… Good picks! Really pretty! But I don’t think the concept is there!”

high school au headcanons

(I don't know shet about how American schools work)

Os is new and got transferred because he couldn't make friends in the previous schools to say the least; he feigns being 100% used to changing schools every year and it's 100% not true;

Ed is seen as the biggest nerd (which is true) and his nerdy vibe (with punk undertones) is so strong people keep forgetting he's actually going to study medicine and be good at it;

Barbs is the one who's believed to get a new bf/gf every month;

Lee is the one who actually does get a new bf/gf every month;

Barbs is Jim's on-off girlfriend and Harvey Dent is Jim's on-off boyfriend;

they barely say hi to each other and each of em thinks Jim is better with them than with the other one;

Jim's best friend Harvey Bullock is the most gorgeous redhead in the area and has a flask instead of a water bottle;

they both love getting into fights but Jim fights anyone and Bullock only fights Jim;

Vic is the one who everyone believes to smoke/sell weed and Butch is the one who actually does;

Lee and Os are regulars;

Bullock and Vic have beef with each other because of how much they like to show off their jackets and cool socks;

Dent and Vic and unexpectedly good friends because they love to bet;

Dent can always be seen around the sports teams for the same reason;

he volunteers for a support group and Ed shows up every time;

Bullock tries his best to help with organising it when he remembers it exists;

Kristen helps a lot with the support group too;

her cousin mostly hangs out in the library and the book club;

people confuse them all the time;

just imagine Os is new and full goth and very gay and the first day he's told to go sit at that very specific table next to the wall and when he does, Zsasz and his gang (with full metal/skinhead looks) show up and say it's theirs, they look like he won't leave the room alive but in fact they just reshuffle him to fit into their circle without any trouble and keep the conversation a bit alive, he asks if he can sit there again next time and gets a full yes, so instead of getting him into trouble the bullies got him protection from Everything;

except a stupid crush on Edward;

which is reciprocated and those two are the last ones to know;

they still hang out at Os's all the time because Ms Kapelput is the most sweetest mom ever and Ed's parents prefer him away from home anyway;

Vic is actually the first to guess/learn that Os is hella gay and he doesn't give a flying fuck as long as no one makes fun of him;

he doesn't like bullies At All;

he likes vegan burgers made from bullies and milkshakes and takes part in the eco fundraising with his own slogan YOU BETTER;

he keeps falling under suspicion because of how he looks and the day he asked if the guards want a strip search was the day he became a walking meme and he's not sure how to feel about that;

even his gang isn't sure if he carries anything illegal but most likely he doesn't;

there's a posh boarding school in the area as well and all the little shits rich kids like the Falcones (does it have a plural form?) and the G*lavans are there and the uniform is their biggest pride;

I should go to sleep

[the-hs-etaverse]

hey instead of going to bed at a reasonable hour I’m going to dump a whole bunch of Equius headcanons here because. I know eventually there comes a point in time when it stops being the original character and becomes an OC but like, he’s such a blank slate due to being Heir of Void and anyway. He deserves better.

LOVES animals. Partial to horses and musclebeasts, of course, but yea

Trolls are obligate carnivores and must consume meat to survive otherwise I’d headcanon him as vegetarian

ACE EQUIUS ACE EQUIUS he puts up all those musclebeast posters in an attempt to feel SOMETHING but he doesn’t. He can’t. And he could never admit it because he is a proper highblooded troll and that of course means binormativity. But really all he’s doing is making himself even more anxious than he already is

Horses are very skittish creatures and so is Equius. He generally picks the fight reaction when it comes to fight-or-flight tho

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, he is at the exact centre of the jock-nerd-prep-goth chart

He broke his horn in a [redacted] accident

He used to be a super scrawny kid but then he hit troll pupaberty and frickin. It treated him well

He was still freakishly strong even before then though. Think Hercules at the start of the Disney movie before the training montage

Not a good swimmer

Painfully shy but will jump into a conversation IMMEDIATELY if it means he can prove you wrong

He’s not particularly fond of Aurthour other than having general respect for his lusus. He doesn’t treat him well

He just really likes those shades, okay? Plus they help filter blue light which is nice if you’re pulling an all-nighter designing and programming robots

Equius is more or less just an intimidating but gentle guy who is trying to make himself fit a mold that is not right for him

[dynyamight]

I've seen a lot of people do it, so if you are up for it~ Ship your moots!

FINALLY. THE AWAITED LIST OF MOOTS IS COMPLETE. sorry this took forever anon!!

now, this is going to be long & i will try not to overexplain my ship pairings. did i take time to think about each paring? yes. but, will they be serious? no. they are dumb & silly.

let the crack pairings begin <3!!

@dekusneakers x BAKUGOU & TODOROKI now you would think? sneakers in a throuple? how come? mmm simple. i couldn’t choose one for her so she gets both. the more the merrier. besides, she deserves love from both sides, kisses on both cheeks. one begrudgingly smooch & one icy kith. as a deku kin, she’s completely satisfied. you’re welcome

@izusun x AIZAWA & ORCA similarly, i can’t have my bestie here with just ONE babe. so, i thought why don’t we get a fatherly figure & a dad bod to give her all the love she needs. so yes, bestie, you two deserves hugs at both sides of you. a twiggy one & a muscly one. the sun needs some shade, & that shade is these men.

@midnightpirates x SUKUNA he’s a mass murderer !! you can’t— oh, but i can. you see, yanna here hates mahito & guess who was the one to fuck up his shit. ah, that’s right, it was sukuna. two mahito an/tis sitting in a tree <3 it’s the perfect match made in hell.

@goth-himbo-dabi x DOCTOR WHO once again, people might wonder: why not dabi? my answer? it’s because my bby here finds the twiggy men attractive. i know, bummer. & you can’t get any twiggy-er than david tennant & matt smith. but which doctor? all of them.

@minisheku x KAMINARI i see you simp for his dunce face. & honestly, who wouldn’t?? also, i originally put sheepku,, but that’s ,, a bit weird. but, here’s the solution. you OWN a sheepku, with kaminari. ah yes, a modern day family unit. & he can entertain you, as well as be a source of electricity for your drawing tablet !! resources !!

@oyavaski x EN you said he was hot literally in your tags earlier in a reblog. so, i am simply gifting you water to quench your thirst. may you two meet in afo, & fall in love in the subconscious of deku’s mind. will deku feel awks? yeah. but like pfft, he’s so whipped for bkg, he’ll forget you two chilling in the corner of his thoughts.

@okworstie x GOJO & WATARI i never have to look up the gojo tag, like ever. because you’re always plastering his face all over my timeline. & yes, this is a good thing. but, the same applies to watari. i have never even seen bakudiez, or whatever it’s called, but apparently he’s aro, & there’s a moth man, & tape hits post limit thursday’s? yeah just keep both, mimi.

@rrandomtthings x AN/TI as one of fellow loyal, amazing bkdks, i think it’s only fitting that you find true love with a bkdk an/ti. create the banti we seek in our community. the enemies to lovers trope is in your blood, written in your deku genes. so, i dedicate the banti movement with this small offering of a ship. may you find diamonds on the minecraft server & build a diamond cabin.

@believeyourgalaxy x ITADORI you two are such cinnamon rolls !!!! super friendly. super kind. super relatable. & together, you guys can pin over megumi. maybe hopefully, sam can help itadori with his low iq brain to finally get together with megumi. because damn, sam can be like “this is my boyfriend, itadori. & this is itadori’s boyfriend, megumi.”

@wrensknight x SHIRAKUMO i didn’t even know it was oboro birthday, until you not only made a public post about to, but made art for him. cloud boy needs that partner to respect & cherish him entirely. & you just treat him so right?? draw him so good?? i hope you can go cloud watching & then later, ride the clouds with him. till death do you guys uh,, you know,,

@b1m0 x MIDORIYA you can't stand when he gets injured, let alone reckless & trying to save the world, when he should literally be saving his own ass. but, that just means you care about him DEEPLY. plus, you both are wholesome people. obviously two cinnamon rolls make a whole bakery !! & who doesn't want a bakery ?? i sure do! wehjw idk why i brought the point here, but just know you two make sense.

@mysterionrising x RENGOKU & VIGILANTE DEKU it’s that enemies to lovers trope once again !! for someone who wrote him off as annoying the first seconds she met him, kenny sure flipped over to the stan side. ever since then, i can only see kenny when i see rengoku. but, you know who else reminds me of kenny. vigilante deku. it’s super fruity that you have an entire bomb playlist for him. so keep him too !!

@kamishima x KIRISHIMA you are the biggest kiri simp i have ever met. you basically ship kiri with anyone who makes him happy. though, you do have a lot of ships, but with kiri it’s different. & so, i was thinking ‘mmm, if bug ships kiri with so many people?? shouldn’t she ship him with HERSELF?’ boom. suddenly both kiri & bug are happy, with a lovely home. my work here is done.

@ckatsudon x LAW LIET did i dig through your blog. why yes. & you know what i found? reblogs & tags dedicated to L. he’s best boy. he’s precious. he deserves a better end. an end with you. mmhmm !! because if we rewrote death note, where you were light, i think L & light could have been canon. & that also would make you happy. & the rest of the entire world

@drfox-kinnie x UNIKITTY i don’t even know the show, let alone who unikitty is exactly. but, you reblogged a banner, confirming your love for unikitty. & so, i am of course doing you a big favor !! she’s bubbly, friendly, & passionate just like you !! & bestie, while i may not know nothing about her, i know you love her. so, maybe you two platonically have a wonderful time, adventuring with the other wholesome characters !! also,, is she big enough to travel on? if so, look i got you a cat car!!

@midorree x MINACHAKO i ship you with another ship. why? because i can. besides, you are like my moot who is genuinely a head leader of the minachako ship on my timeline, & you have steadily been converting me?? but, i also noticed that mina AND uraraka have stolen your heart, & you have yet to fight them for it back. i hope you three can go into a brawl & see who can grab each other’s hands fastest.

@kiribakuxkacchakolover x HATSUME YOU HAVE IT AS YOUR TITLE HEADER. like you are literally having a billboard that calls mei your cutie patootie. &, you ask, & you shall receive. i hope you two can be the dorkiest nerds together, & ramble for eons & eons. i hope i’m invited to the transformer wedding you two will have <,3

@balaroo x MIRUKO like before, you too have your interest out in the open in your title header. but, you see, miruko is a total babe, with confidence & ego & with this stride that makes even the most alpha male quiver. you would be a total wife to miruko’s girlboss energy & that’s why this ship totally works.

@quix-mix x FREDDY FAZBEAR my precious lil young moot, i dug into your blog & noticed you enjoy the fnaf games. & mmm are you perhaps wanting to cuddle a certain demonic teddy bear? well, i approve. he'll fall in love, head over heels, with your art, he might not possess you right away !! might. but, listen, you always do enjoy the villains (; i gotchu !!

@lonely-rabbit x LANCE you said we’re moots & i agree, we are. however, i have noooo idea what even are your preferences. so, i went digging. & it’s such a coincidence that we bonded over our voltron trauma, & yet you still continue to simp over lance. &, like i don’t blame you !!! he’ll always be dumb baby & so all i ask is that you love him, for our sake. & sanity.
