Marina when 'bad hair + seafoam eyes' says Shiloh is only being nice to her because she's hot (therefore meaning he also thinks she's hot)

[lunityviruss]

Something I've noticed is that no matter what fandom or community we are in—black people will always always have to make a safe space for ourselves. Every single fandom I was in there were always black people being treated badly by white people and nonblacks and everytime we spoke on it we are told that we are either making it up or causing problems/discourse.

Even in the LGBTQ+ community where niggas preach about being sooo accepting we have to make *our own flags and spaces because we get talked over and forgotten so damn much. You look up queer related stuff and white people show up first (try the trans selfie tag or look up androgynous stuff on pinterest.) You look up queer shows and it's only white people with a black side character or a white person x a black person like we can't exist on our own. White queers calling black people cops for being uncomfortable with certain labels.

Even with fictional black characters they get the same treatment. Marina from Splatoon 2 and Hobie Brown from Spiderman both are victims of nonblack people hypersexualizing them and masculinizing them. Xinyan from Genshin Impact is a complete and utter stereotype of black people—being seen as aggressive and mean and a literal theft. Don't get me started on how yall whitewash the fuck outta them. It's either sexualize them, whitewash them or forget about them completely.

For some reason white people are seen as more aesthetically pleasing compared to Black people and when we look up aesthetics we literally have to type in "black person x aesthetic" or afro punk or afro goth despite us being the creators of some of these aesthetics. Same with cosplaying, white peoples cosplays are seen as more "canon" compared to black people or even people who's race is literally the character being cosplayed.

Fanfiction writers constantly cater to white people despite trying to market their stuff as "inclusive" while black people get shitted on for making character x black reader fics and don't you know weird ass white people still read them??

Yall tell us to make our own things instead of "complaining" about it and we do, then we get hit with death threats and hate. We make our black edits and get told that it's "blackwashing" and the artists get called the n word, we make black movies and our actors get death threats. We make our own original black art with our black OC'S and get told that we're being selfish and "racist" for not drawing other people. We literally cannot exist without you people hating on us and unnecessarily critiquing us.

[Note: If you nonblack or white niggas come up here and being like "well acschually op🤓☝🏾" I will actually hurt you. If you ask "why is this in the x tag" I will hurt you as well. You try n derail and make it about a different race I'm hurting you.]

[annabelle--cane]

btw my 2020-2021 tma discourse thesis remains: the camp of 13-17 year olds who got into the show en mass in spring 2020 and had clearly never interacted with adult-oriented horror fiction before were, indeed, annoying, but they had nothing on the group of 25-40 year olds who developed massive superiority complexes about being the oldest people in the room and appointed themselves fandom hall monitors.

[stupjam]

Sunny and Marina can’t go for that (parody)

[dr-spectre]

If there WAS to be a splatoon movie. Would you want it to focus on callie and maries relationship a bit more? (Eg, like the mario movie)

AND did you like the way they portrayed callie and maries relationship in splatoon 3???

(I love the Squid Sisters :3)

Glad to see another Squid Sisters fan!!!!!

If there was ever a Splatoon movie, it would need to be for general audiences as well as Splatoon fans, most people who would see that movie MAY have the slightest idea on what a Splatoon is, as in they are parents going along with their kids who know Splatoon.

So, focusing on Callie and Marie would never ever happen. Plus, even I don't want a Splatoon movie to be about them anyway. I feel like it would be a loose adaptation of Splatoon 1's Hero Mode and take some stuff from.... sigh.... the manga... and adapt the characters and change em.

I am calling it right fucking now. All of the characters are gonna be played by celebrities.

Goggles will be played by Tom Holland.

Rider will be played by Keegan-Michael Kay.

Kaori will be played by Kimiko Glenn.

And they are gonna cast Will Ferrell as DJ Octavio.

Callie played by Hailee Steinfeld and Marie played by Lady Gaga. And they would appear for like a minute at the beginning to give news and strictly be Agent 1 and 2 and that's it.

Now if they were to do a sequel, it would be based on Octo Expansion FOR SUREEEE!!!!! Due to how beloved and popular that story mode is. They wouldn't do Splatoon 2's Hero Mode because general audiences would complain that it's too repetitive and plus, i don't wanna hear on a batch of large ear deafening speakers Will Ferrell's DJ Octavio go "GYAHAHAHA! I'VE BRAINWASHED CALLIE! NOW SHE'S MINE!" on a large screen. I would kill myself there and then.

And all I'm gonna say on casting, Halle Bailey as either Eight or Marina.

Don't ask me to cast Pearl, idfk how to cast that little girlypop.

Thank you for the ask! This was really fun to do (and now I'm terrified at the eventual Splatoon movie announcement.... I still have ptsd....)

(And to answer that last part of your ask, yes, I loved how cutesy and physically affectionate Callie and Marie were to each other in Splatoon 3.)

[smallsinger5901]

was listening to The Family Jewels album again and decided to give my opinion which death note character fit each song, because with my level of obsession all of them have at least one character🥰

Are you satisfied?- both Light and L.

Shampain- Misa, specifically around the time she had the dinner with Takada

I am not a robot- Mello. Whether he’ll admit it or not

Girls- Takada.

Mowgli’s road- I just feel like this is Linder

Obsessions- Mello.

Hollywood- Misa :(

The outsider- Matsuda!!! Im only doing one screenshot per, but know that this song has the line ‘dont get on my bad side, I can use of a gun’

Hermit the frog- L

Oh no!- Matt, in vibes a little more than lyrics but still

Rootless- Gevanni. This makes no sense if you arent inside my head and my 13K word gevanni backstory fic, but i promise you, it does

Numb- Mello. Its almost like i really like this character or something

Guilty- and finally… mello. Of course.

Confession Time - Everett/Marina Fic

My beloveds in their version of the 'Be my Boyfriend' Scene <3

Also Available on AO3!

Marina likes fast food, really, she does. She just doesn't know how many more meals she can take in this shithole before her stomach rots inside of her.

"Why the hell do we keep coming here if you're just gonna glare at your plate the whole time?"

She jolts back to attention- Right, she's on a date.

"Seriously," Everett roll his eyes. "You're the one who keeps asking me to come here."

"I like it here!" She protests. It's not a lie, she always looks forward to their dates here. She does conveniently leave out the reasons as to why, though. There are three, but Everett doesn't need a bigger ego, if that's even possible.

"Yeah? Then eat the food."

She grimaces. "The food sucks."

"Why the fuck else would you come here?"

She shrugs. It's not a good enough answer for him, that's clear, but she doesn't offer anything else.

"I don't fucking understand you sometimes."

"Mm, you keep showing up, though." She laughs. He scoffs, looking away the same way he always does when he's embarrassed, as if any amount of fake tan can cover the way his cheeks suddenly seem the slightest bit red.

That, of course, would be reason number one.

"Whatevs. Of course I'm gonna show up, I like it here. Doesn't explain anything, though."

"You just answered your own question."

He frowns. "What the fuck does that mean?'

"That question you asked."

"Um, I asked why you keep coming here, dumbass."

"Mhm."

"Tch. If you say some corny shit like you only do it because I like it, it's not gonna make it any less weird."

She looks away, humming in fake contemplation.

"Hm, that's crazy. I don't remember ever claiming to be anything but weird."

"Seriously?"

"I like seeing you happy." She shrugs. "You shouldn't be surprised, considering how everyone loves you and everything."

She smiles when he shakes his head, his blush returning. Really, reason one was a great reason. First for a reason.

The 'argument', if it could even be considered one, ended quickly as one of Everett's aforementioned groupies walks in and immediately claims his attention. Unbothered, Marina continues to pick at her food. The girl doesn't acknowledge her, but she doesn't stare her down like she normally does either, so Marina considers it a win.

Truly, she doesn't understand exactly why Everett loves it here so much. Sure, it's the only really cheap place to eat in town, but with the amount of money she's sure his Mom sends him, it wouldn't be hard for him to go somewhere fancier. Besides, this place was too trendy with the rest of the student body to be considered 'underground' enough for him.

"So, are you busy right now?"

The girl (seriously, what was her name- Laura or something?) flirts shamelessly, as if Marina isn't there. Marina pretends not to notice, adjusting her veil and already reaching for her bag.

"Um, yes? The hell does it look like?"

She pauses, looking up in surprise.

Everett raises his eyebrows, nodding toward the table. "We're eating right now. Obviously."

"You've been hanging out with her a lot, haven't you?" Laura says, voice tense. Everett just laughs.

"Jealous?"

Marina chews on the inside of her cheek, attempting and failing to stop the smile pulling at the corners of her mouth. She'd half expected Everett to leave with the girl, especially after he'd already been annoyed with her. Yet, he'd brushed her off.

Reason two- He likes to pretend, but he's not a bad date.

Laura leaves after another minute, giggling obnoxiously about how they should 'totally go out sometime'.

"God, she's fucking annoying."

"She's your friend, asshole."

"Really? You're defending her? After she pulled that shit?"

When Marina just smirks, he scoffs.

"You think you're so fucking funny."

"I do."

"Tch- Whatever. Lets get outta here."

She frowns. "I thought you just said we were eating."

He laughs, grinning at her. "I was eating, you were sulking, and that's fucking lame, I'm not gonna have people see someone I'm on a date with not looking happy. Do you realize how bad that makes me look?"

It's a selfish reason, but all she hears is that he cares that she's having a good time.

He walks her back to her dorm. The first few times she asked him to do that, he complained, asking why the hell he should have to do anything for her after the date was over.

"If I say we can kiss when we get there, will you stop complaining about it?" She'd asked.

"Hm, maybe." He'd answered, but she hasn't had to ask again since.

That might be reason three, but there's no way in hell she's telling him that one.

He lets her hold his hand on the walk back. Usually he wouldn't do that, but Nate had track until 7, so there was no chance he would see. As much as Everett 'doesn't care' about the rules, he's not willing to risk a lecture from Nate as long as they share a dorm.

"Okay, we're here, pay up." He says, leaning against her door.

Marina laughs, leaning in to kiss him quickly before turning away. She brings her hand up to fidget with the crystal resting against her chest.

"…Hey, come in for a second."

"Hell yeah."

"Not for that, perv."

He complains, but it's half-hearted, not actually objecting as he follows her in. When she shuts the door, he shifts his weight, crossing his arms over his chest. "Make it quick. Nate would be mad enough I walk you to your door, he'd kick my ass if he found out I went in."

"Nate's at practice for another two hours, you're just being dramatic because we're not making out."

"Ha, maybe."

She sighs, rolling her eyes as she slips her necklace off, draping it over her altar.

"I still don't like that you keep that there. You better not be doing any creepy spells and shit on me."

"Do you even believe that would work?" She smiles at him over her shoulder. He scoffs.

"I don't care, I don't want you doing it anyway."

"Well, I'm not."

"Good-"

"Not that I would tell you if I was, anyway."

He scowls. "Bitch."

She laughs. She doesn't even do witchcraft, but she's not willing to give up the bit yet.

There's a moment of silence as she fidgets with a shell on the altar, staring out the window. She can hear him behind her, typing on his phone. Seriously, the only good thing about him having that ancient thing is that he can't text during dates without her hearing it.

"…Do you like going out with me?"

"What the fuck is that supposed to mean?"

She shrugs, still facing the window. "Exactly what I said, is that too complex a question for you?"

"Bitch."

She laughs quietly. "I mean, you wouldn't keep showing up if you didn't like it at all, right?"

"If you think I'm that nice, you haven't been paying attention."

"Don't worry, I still think you're a total asshole." She drawls, finally turning around to pat Everett's shoulder reassuringly. "But, whatever, good enough. I had a question."

"What?"

"Did you want to be my boyfriend?"

"What the fuck?"

Her eyes narrow at the way he suddenly looks the way she's sure she does every time she has to smell that God awful fast food place. He flinches away from her, as if her words are some physical thing he can avoid.

"Don't be such a baby, it's just a question."

"I don't do the whole girlfriend thing."

"Why not?" She asks, tilting her head. "Seems like something you'd do."

"Eh, just don't feel like tying myself down."

What she's pretty sure he means is 'I don't feel like giving up my side-chicks', but she doesn't call him out on it, just shrugging and looking away from him.

"Okay."

"What, you're just fine with it?"

"Would you prefer I get upset?"

"Uh, yeah?" He shifts his weight, hands resting on his hips. "I'm fucking great, you should be heartbroken."

Marina laughs, apologizing under her breath when he scowls. She clears her throat, feigning seriousness.

"No, no, you're right, but it's fine. What kind of monster would I be to take you away from your fans?"

He narrows his eyes, scrutinizing her. "What are you plotting?"

"Nothing!" She holds her hands up in surrender, smiling as she swallows down another laugh. "…I'm sure Laura will be thrilled."

His face immediately screws up in disgust.

"Uah. That bitch? Like I'd ever go out with her."

"I don't know, she seems pretty determined. If only there was a way to show her you're definitely not interested…"

The frown falls, leaving him looking unimpressed, not that unimpressed isn't his default emotion. "Really? That's your big plan?"

"I like you."

"Yeah, it's one of the only good things about you."

"One of?"

"You're welcome."

She frowns. "Do you want to or not? Don't be a dick, I won't cry if you say no."

"Mm, I guess."

"I- wait, really?"

Her jaw drops, a grin breaking out over her face. He rolls his eyes.

"Are you deaf? I just said it, didn't I?"

She giggles, walking up and throwing her arms around him. He tenses, hands hovering above her shoulders.

"What are you doing?"

She pulls back, rolling her eyes. "Well, I was going to thank you, but now I'm just doing it to annoy you."

"Tch- Whatevs. It's not a big deal."

"It is to me!"

"Good to know you're low maintenance, then. "

She raises an eyebrow, daring him to continue that train of thought. He frowns.

"Don't get any ideas. I can dump you, you know."

"You can, because you're my boyfriend. Crazy, huh?"

"Yeah, kind of."

His cheeks are red again, slight smile dropping as he pulls away from her to take out his phone. She stares.

"Who the hell are you calling?"

"My Mom? Duh?"

She lights up, leaning in to look at his screen. "Aw! Are you gonna tell her about me?"

He grimaces. "Don't make it a whole thing. She'd be on my ass if I didn't tell her about this right away."

"I like that you care about her so much."

"Yeah, so you've said." He shrugs her hand off of his shoulder. His thumb hovers over the call button, his eyebrows furrowing as he hesitates.

"Listen." He says, turning so he's facing away from her.

"Huh?"

"I'm not just about girls, okay? If you really wanna do this whole relationship shit, you should probably know, I guess."

The words are level as they're rushed out of his mouth, as if she somehow wouldn't hear him. It's said the same way he says everything else, as if it's the most casual thing in the world, but she's not blind. She sees the way he avoids her eyes, the way his hand taps anxiously against where it's resting on his hip. It's not something she sees very often, and she decides very quickly that she doesn't like it.

"…My real name is Mariella."

"What the fuck?"

Everett's head spins to look at her again, eyes wide with confusion. She cackles at the mood flip, covering her mouth. "I know, it's awful, isn't it?"

"What the fuck? Since when? Why?"

Still giggling, she nods toward her altar.

"My friends and I gave each other nicknames a few years ago. Sophie works with Aphrodite, so she's 'Rose'. Nick is 'Lyric' because of Apollon, you know? So… Marina."

For a minute, he doesn't answer, just staring at her as if she's sprouted a second head. Fair enough, honestly. She stares back, expression neutral, but her chest feels warm. It's better, she thinks, seeing him like this than seeing him anxious.

Eventually, his figure relaxes, his tone more normal.

"…So your parents couldn't just pick one basic white girl name? They had to frankenstein that shit together?"

"Actually, my Mom picked my name, my Dad didn't care much."

"Wow, she must hate you. Is that why you had to get another one?"

She gasps, punching his shoulder half-heartedly. "What the fuck, don't say that!" She scolds, but she's laughing anyway. "What if I said something about your mom?"

"My mom didn't name me Mariella."

"Asshole."

"Bitch."

Her faux anger softens into a genuine smile, and she hugs him again. He lets her, not bothering to tease her this time, settling for just sighing dramatically. When his phone goes off, though, he pulls away again, lifting the phone to his ear.

"Hey, what's up?"

It's not his Mom, he doesn't sound happy enough for that to be the case. There's a minute of chatter on the other side of the line, and then Everett's eyes widen.

"What the fuck, yes, I'll be there. Give me ten minutes, I gotta finish something first."

He hangs up without another word.

"Another party?"

"You know it."

She nods, looking away and rocking awkwardly on her heels. She's not opposed to ending the night here, but it's not as if she'd be heartbroken if he'd had time to stay with her longer.

Not that she's clingy though, that would be embarrassing. Obviously.

"Hey Mom."

She smiles, watching him pick up his glasses from her desk as he heads for the door. His voice was always an octave higher whenever he talked to his Mom, it was pretty funny.

"Yeah, I'm on my way to some school thing right now- No, just some assembly, nothing important, but anyway-"

His voice gets quieter as he walks out of the room, leaving the door open behind him. Marina sighs, shaking her head. She gets up, walking over to close it, when she hears Everett down the hall.

"You coming or not, El?"

She pauses, looking to peek around the corner to see who he's talking to, only to see him staring straight at her. Her stomach drops at being caught, but it's quickly overpowered by confusion- El?

"What- Me?"

"Is there anyone else here? Come on, I'm not gonna wait for you."

"Ah- Coming!"

She spins on her heel rushing to grab her necklace off her dresser and rushes out to meet him. He's still on the phone, barely glancing at her as she rushes to his side, but the corner of his mouth turns up, and she smiles.

Okay, so maybe there's four reasons.

What If… || ClonexOCWeek2025

Rex & Mae || Wolffe & Perdita || Tech & Marina

Author’s Note: Hi friends! For day 6 of @clonexocweek I thought I’d better convey some of the things I associate with my OC’s and their copy/paste men… so I had fun with a little social media aesthetic prompt! Below you will find one for each character, as well as a little glance at how I see each couple as a unit visually speaking. So for “what if…” it’s “what if they were a color (for example). Anywho, this was a prompt more to show how I see these characters and help people feel as connected to them as I do. Reminder this all exists within my friend @leenathegreengirl ‘s AU! All art of my oc's is by her!

Pairings: Captain Rex x OC Mae Killough | Commander Wolffe x OC Perdita Halle | Tech x OC Marina

Masterlist

Animal

Lion: Rex is fierce, he is a bold protector and he is powerful. He works best by leading others. But at his core, he truly is a wonderful soldier.

Red Fox: Foxes are typically known for and associated with resourcefulness, cunningness and cleverness. They often have a shy but playful disposition. Mae has had to rely on herself for so long, that her ability to adapt to survive through her intelligence makes her more aligned with a Fox than just the similar color of their hair/fur…

Place

Mountainous Body of Water: Usually bodies of water near mountains are carved out by glacier activity. Strong erosions over time that create a pristine and enriching space. Rex has seen many things through his life, but he is resilient.

Misty Mountains: Mae has a tumultuous past and her homeworld replicates that of our world’s climates like Scotland or Ireland. The lack of sunlight mixing with the peaks to some would seem depressing, but to others the calm they bring is aligned with her more subdued nature of being - which I’d say is a less flashy kind of beauty.

Plant

Succulent: Succulents are desert plants, that learn to survive on little resources. They tend to weather lots of mistreatment and still maintain their ability to persevere. Rex has been through much in his life, and he continues to keep fighting the good fight.

English Ivy: This vine plant grows very quickly, can grow virtually anywhere and is known to help remove toxins from the spaces they occupy. Mae is quick to adapt, keep her morals aligned despite her upbringing with a crime family, and she left upon her first chance at freedom.

Character

Li Shang: He is a leader. He’s a strong warrior. He tends to be more reserved, maintaining what he can on his own. Initially he is by the book and has to learn to adapt. That sounds an awful lot like Rex to me… we will gloss over Li Shang’s initial sexism though…

Anna: The Princess can be quite awkward. She is also optimistic, caring and free-spirited. I honestly do see more of Anna’s tendency to be a bit clumsy aligning well with Mae. Early on I do think that Mae was a bit sheltered from real life, kept away from some of her siblings and that aligns a lot with Anna’s growth from willing to marry the first man she met to being Queen of the kingdom. (With a handsome blond near her side!)

Season

Summer: Summer is warm. It’s bright. It is the peak of likelihood. It’s when we are closest to the sun. The days are longer. Rex has a lot of light to him so often forgotten by his struggles. He was born to be absorbing the suns rays with a drink in his hand.

Autumn: A brisk chill in the air leads to the heartiness that goes on in one’s home in fall. I always have seen Mae as a large pot of soup with a fireplace as the leaves outside begin to fall.

Hobby

Surfing: One of the first times Rex directly interacted with Mae was on one of her rare days off. She grew up in a large mansion by the sea, but the kind of cold, rocky shorelines were not build for surfing. When she moved to Pabu, her appreciation for the calm that life by the water increased, and the locals showed her how to appreciate them in a harmonizing way. When she taught Rex, he found the physicality enjoyable, and the relaxation it provided through bonding with the doctor to be the kind of reprieve he needed. With time, her favorite hobby, became a pastime of his as well

Color

Blue: 501 Blue does go so well to describe Rex. Loyalty, honor, stability, and calm describe him so well, but at this point the shade is so closely associated with the captain, I’d be remiss not the say Blue.

Forest Green: While Mae frequently dons soft blue, I think green fits her much more. Green is a nurturing color, associated with nature, and one’s ability to adapt. It’s a color that subconsciously relaxes. Her home being a safe haven for many is more attuned to this shade.

Crystal/Stone/Gem

Sea Glass: Given the narrative connections run so deep here, I won’t elaborate as I already have in “Something About You”, but Rex is much alike the kind of beauty that comes from transformation through hardship.

Pearls: Mae used an alias while she initially was working for the Republic Aid Relief - another translation or meaning of her name - Pearl. Pearls are associated with luxury but also new beginnings. There’s a Devine feminine energy of something that comes from the sea and has the subdued brilliance of pearls.

Food

Pot Roast: Rex just seems like the kind of man who wants to come home to a hearty, slow cooked meal that’s rich and warms the soul

Waffles: They are sweet, and they are compartmentalized. Mae, while a kind person, has her quirks. She likes to sort things out on her own.

Together, they are both a mix of very striking differences on the outside, but the kind of people they are - the kind that would give you clothes off their back or work so hard to help those in need since it’s the right thing to do - make Mae and Rex one of my favorite couples to write for. She isn’t a gun wielding badass, but she’s a spitfire. She’s bold when she needs to be. She’s refreshingly honest. The two have a similar mind of putting others first, themselves second. Finding someone like that, helps you maintain a love in which you care for the other person’s needs in a beautiful and calm light. Mae brings Rex stability. He brings her security. With that comes smiles into cups of caf and the jovial times of those who began as friends first. His appreciation for her endearing sweetness and respect for her strength hopefully will allow these two to survive virtually whatever throws their way. I see their dynamic to be one that is timeless, and soft.

Animal

Wolf: I mean. I don’t feel the need to explain this one…

Arctic Fox: solidarity creatures, raised in harsh climates that still - despite all odds - are loving and playful. Monogamous, and maintaining loyalty to one mating partner for life, they are willing to cross the tundra for the one they love. Perdita’s time with the Jedi created a solidarity which she has to learn to overcome, but the loyalty she feels towards Wolffe is finally bringing out the more playful and inquisitive side of her that shows there’s so much more to life than the Jedi Order she may have been neglecting…

Place

Open spaces under a night sky: Wolffe has a stillness about him. Don’t assume it makes him weak, but he has a nature that seems just on the outskirts of things. The stillness of night is something that he often feels connected to. Especially given his life almost ended in an escape pod, adrift amongst the stars. The ability to feel the ground below, seeing them from a distance, is where he feels the most at peace.

Caves: Growing up under the Quarzite surface, in the intricate system of caves, Perdita has many aspects associated with her people. Some may find the hollowed out spaces to be eerie, vacant, but with them comes security and a sense of protection.

Plant

Pine trees: Woody, strong and also… comforting. Pines have many associations of tradition and the warmth that accompanies celebrations of the winter. Wolffe has a traditional undertone to him that feels aligned with the strength and comfort of a pine.

(Redacted) Russian Purple Variation: So, keep with me… but a certain substance often used recreationally for health benefits definitely aligns with the more odd aspects of the Jedi, and their tendency to prioritize meditation and connecting to the force… as for the Russian purple variation of this plant… it is grown in HARSH climates, just like the environment Perdita came from.

Character

The Winter Soldier: Left under mind control at the hand of a regime that saw him as a tool not a person? Check. A badass with a cybernetic element? Check. Associations with Wolf (later the White Wolf)? Need I say more?

Daenerys: Both Perdita and Daenerys were the victims of situation, where their power was often wielding without their consent or against them. They are both inquisitive, but also have a vengeful streak. The more Perdita becomes distant from the Jedi, the more she is willing to see how wrong they are. But, unlike Daenerys she learns to confront it and accept it. Calm, levelheaded and regal these women both have a grace about them.

Season

Winter: Both Wolffe and Perdita have a coldness about them that radiates with winter. Perdita, from repressing emotion so long, and Wolffe with his regrets and rigid soldier tendencies.

Hobby

Music: With time, I see Wolffe appreciating music. Perhaps a quiet melody played only for himself, but the dedication to learn an instrument seems like something he’d do in private.

Strategy Games: At the temple, Perdita often excelled with logical games that related on strategy. I think this ability to shift things around her through intuition is something she continues to enjoy

Color

Grey : His color during the war, and he still feels the pull to associate with it now, Wolffe enjoys the tranquility associated with the color. Although, now with the addition of Perdita to his life, he prefers the mixing of a misty teal and grey, as the colors harmonize in a serenity he enjoys.

Dark Green/Teal: A color of communication and sophistication, Perdita is open and gentle in nature.

Crystal/Stone/Gem

Dalmatian Jasper: Grounding and loyal. This stone is said to bring about renewal. A visual representation of the darkness Wolffe is still trying to process.

Clear Quartz: A crystal for purifying and cleansing other stones. Translucent and strong.

Food

Coffee: Black. No frills. Chugged while scalding. On Pabu I think he’d get WAY too into espresso and making good espresso.

Tacos: Not sure why but I love the thoughts of a Perdita that is safe, and just pounding some street tacos on Pabu.

There is so much strength, determination and above all… trust. They fight hard for one another. Are likely unhealthily attached to one another. They defied all odds - a Jedi Survivor and a Deserter Clone. There is not a thing these two would not do to keep the other safe. And in that, something beautiful emerged. A tension which lead to a fierce love and respect. Like a dog guarding its home almost, Wolffe would not stop at anything to keep her safe. Despite everything their love is so rich its intensity goes without words. Both transformed by the harshness they endured , picture them like Coal, so impressed upon it eventually turns to diamond. Not to mention the lovely symmetry in which they exist. Reflections of one another in so many ways, and yet a strong contrast of light and darkness. And… despite all the jokes he really does see this former Jedi as his “Princess”, worthy of love and admiration.

Animal

Silver Foxes (Brown): Fast, intelligent, resourceful. Silver Foxes specifically have associations with being hunter for sport and worn by royalty. They tend to be more antisocial creatures, but once they grow to trust, they are very friendly. Fierce hunters and adaptable creatures, Tech is intelligent and good at problem solving.

Sea Turtle: Having long lives and being an integral role in the marine ecosystem, turtles are resilant. From hatching, to a life of solidarity, they are always finding ways to adapt and survive. Graceful and strong. Marina has faced hardships but she continues to survive.

Place

Misty Ocean Cliffside: Tech seems the type to appreciate the softeness of an overcast down overlooking the water. No harshness of the sun, but taking in the splendor of the strength of the ocean.

Oceanside: In a more generalized sense, Marina is very connected to the ocean. Her work, her livihood, even her name are tied to a connection with the ocean. She particularly enjoys diving to view reefs.

Plant

Mint: fresh, clean, and cool. Mint is a plant with beneficially properties and a plesant taste/aroma that is mild. Tech radiates practicality and keeping a calm head about most things.

Marine Alage: A part of the reef ecosystem, sea alage is very unique in terms of the genetic structture and physical makeup. They do not act as normal 'plants', not having a vasualar system or structure. In a similar way, Marina is very unique both physically and socially.

Character

Milo Thatch: loyal, well intending... and awkward. Milo is very intelligent and respectful of people regardless of background. Plus, we are not blind... Milo girlies are now Tech girlies.

Elizabeth "Lizzie" Bennet: Name me a more independant, intelligent and witty woman. I'll wait. But in all seriousness, Elizabeth has much that she has to grow and learn with time - same as Marina needs to learn to allow herself to be cared for once again.

Season

Summer: A time for long days filled with many activities. Warmth and outdoor time. Summer is often associated with both a productive time and a time to unwind. Tech and Marina spend an awful lot of time around the ocean, so summer just feels like a fitting season for them both. The only differnce I see - Marina is a mid day swim, and Tech is a relaxing summer evening after a long day.

Hobby

Diving: What kind of Marina biologist doesn't enjoy diving and exploring? Marina's work is also her enjoyment, and with time becomes something she shares with him. The physicality of it, paired with the curiousity is the perfect blend of fun and educational for both these lovely scientists.

Color

Orange: Orange is a color of confidence and warmth. Often seen in nature and connected to creativity. Orange was the first color Tech 'chose' to identify with himself after Order 66 and the Batch repainted their armor.

Navy Blue: A color associated with dependability and calm. A color Marina has decorating her skin in the intricate lines of her tattoos.

Cyrstals, Stones, Gems

Ammonoidea fossil: Tech and Marina both share a love of research, and I do feel that fossils would hold interest for both. Aquatic based ones would provide a look at the past that they both find intriguing.

Food

Fish and Risotto: Something about the light filling nature of a nice grilled, citrus fish and risotto feels like a meal Tech would enjoy. It's got a practical comfort to it.

Salad: Healthy, fresh and limitless options for filling. Marina feels like the kind to actually enjoy a nice salad with homemade dressing.

Tech and Marina are the definition of a well oiled machine. Practical, sensible, and speaking a similar language without actually needing to speak at all. Academically minded people who genuinely care for the other's interest, they spend so much quality time in deep discussions on life, theories and hypotheticals. These two will never grow bored of each other. A story both of loss, and rebirth, they learn to move in a unified song and dance through life that contradicts everything people previously assumed about them. Marina brings out a lightness in him he never knew was there. Tech shows her that it's okay to be taken care of. Not to mention... a hidden spiciness brimming below the surface. Their love is one that says "I already did that dear-", since their strong atunement towards each other's needs is so strong, it often outweighs their own.
