[as-is-yours]

happy 2024 summer olympics!

some tog watching the olympics hcs for the soul because i love the olympics and i decided they do too:

andy competed in the ORIGINAL greek olympics. yes she did

with the guard being as competitive as they are, the olympics are a BIG deal in the safe house - it’s like the football world cup but all day every day for three weeks straight

it’s obviously too dangerous for the guard to attend the olympics these days with all of the cameras and media, so they hunker down in a safehouse and watch as much as they can on TV

they used to go most years though, nicky even told nile that he considered competing in olympic shooting back in the mid 1900s but it was too high profile to risk it

quynh was in the ocean when they brought back the olympic games as we know them today. her first olympics year back with the guard she asks andy why everyone is clothed and where the victors wreaths are

nile LOVES the olympics so she fits right into the dynamic when the first olympics of her time with the guard roll around

she was a little nervous about coming on too strong that first year, but when she saw how hard they roast each other and how much they goaded her into being just as competitive and aggressive as they were, she settled in easily

they would later regret unlocking that part of her once they realize how painful watching the olympics with an american is

nile keeps a scoreboard on the wall next to the TV where she updates the medal counts daily and reminds everyone who’s winning (the usa)

joe, quynh, and booker prefer the summer olympics while nile and andy prefer the winter olympics. nicky is just happy to make some money off of booker when france loses, no matter the season

“andy im getting us a peacock account to watch the olympics, they’re starting next week” “peacock account? what the hell is peacock? like the bird??”

there’s ALWAYS a bet going on. for the full duration of the olympic games there is never not a bet going on

nile will be doing joe’s dishes for a month after kaylia nemour beat suni lee in the uneven bars final

booker owes nicky €300 after italy advanced out of the first round of the women’s doubles tennis tournament (france did not) and another €1000 for italy winning the gold medal

andy stays out of the betting for the most part, or just picks the best athlete rather than one representing her home nation

“andy, that’s cheating—” “the scythians were nomadic. i don’t even remember where i was born so i’ll pick whichever athlete i damn well please, and you—” “okay, fine! we get it!”

andy found quynh wandering in a desert, quynh doesn’t really remember where she’s from either so she picks her favorite athletes based on vibe and which countries were her favorites to travel around with andy

there aren’t nearly as many north african athletes as there are italian, french, and american so joe starts adopting the athletes with the most heartwarming comeback/underdog stories as his faves

i feel like nile LOVES usa gymnastics having been a teen watching gabby douglas and simone biles!

that girl was SAT for every gymnastics event cheering on team usa like it was her job

andy has broken her neck attempting to pull off the stunts she sees in olympic snowboarding, gymnastics, skateboarding, figure skating, etc…. but sometimes she nails them. and it’s sick as fuck

nile is from the midwest i know she’s an ice hockey enjoyer. she pregames the winter olympics by making the guard watch miracle (2004) (nicky cries)

booker makes a drinking game for watching the games. he prints out the rules and pins them up next to nile’s medal count. take a sip when an announcer starts yelling, a shot when a random celebrity is shown on the broadcast, and finish your drink when a medalist cries

whenever great britan places below one of the guard’s countries, copley receives a very vulgar and unsportsmanlike text from them

no, quynh does not watch swimming events. thank you for asking

the couch is NOT a safe space. anything goes during the olympics. anyone who gets too mean (or whose athlete loses) can and will be pushed off the couch and exiled to the armchair

i will surely update this as the olympics continue and my friends and i get up to more hijinks. stay tuned and enjoy the greatest sporting event ever conceived

CALIFORNIA LOVE

genre. kinda just summer love w doy thoughts. fluffy but also a bit angsty. warnings. jealousy. lots of kissing. drinking. i don't usually write in present tense so if there are mistakes im so sorry i tried to proofread but i’m tired 😭 pairing. doy x fem!reader. wc. 663. request. no. a/n. this is all @eternalgyu's fault that i'm writing for nomad now but srsly doy has me in a chokehold its not funny but also sangha is fighting for bias spot SO???

waking up completely hung over with doeui, hearing the murmured curses that falls from his mouth as the splitting headache hits you both at the same time. as soon as you look at each other, all you can do is just laugh and huddle closer under the blankets, alternating kisses on the other’s forehead to soothe the headaches. memories from the previous night are foggy, but all you really care about is being next to him and feeling the warmth of his skin underneath you.

after you sleep for a bit longer and wake up for the second time in the late morning, doeui runs to the store to get hangover medication and pizza. everything about the morning is lazy and unplanned, just the two of you in each other’s company until the party starts later in the day.

doeui loves how you look in his oversized shirt when he comes back from the store; your hair a mess, but your eyes shining with excitement whenever you look at him. you share the pizza, taking turns feeding each other and sneaking in kisses before you get properly dressed for going out. 

except doeui’s idea of properly dressed still involves an open summer shirt exposing his abs and toned chest. it’s perfect attire for the beach, but you can’t help but stare a bit. he can’t complete the outfit without your pearl bracelet and necklace, and in return, you steal his black cap.

drinks, games, skateboarding, swimming, sports, dares— all of the classic summer things that you could indulge in are present at every party. and it lasts for hours. you spend most of the time on the opposing team from your boyfriend, giving him teasing looks and boasting every time you won. you’ll never admit that you purposely got a little touchy with sangha just to get doeui jealous, but you couldn’t deny it either. you wouldn’t have if you hadn’t caught one of the girls staring a bit too closely at his open shirt.  

it works like a charm, from the way he pulls your wrist as soon as the game of beach volleyball is finished. when he’s sure that he’s led you out of sight of his friends, his lips find yours faster than you could speak. it’s rushed and a bit rougher than how he normally kisses you, but it’s exactly the reaction you were hoping for when you did everything you could to rile him up. when he’s satisfied with the way he’s smeared your lipgloss and slightly messed up your hair, he mutters a quick, “you’re mine” before he joins the group again, making sure you were on his team for the next round.

as the sun sets, you gather around a cooler of drinks and popsicles. you steal sips of doeui’s beer throughout the time when you’re all laughing and telling stories. he doesn’t mind. each time he catches you reaching for his can, he feels even fonder of you. but he still drinks some of your cider to make things even.

when the sun sets completely and the rest of the friend group leaves, it’s just you and doeui still sitting together on the sand, listening to the waves lap at the shore and feeling the slight chill of the wind. you lean closer to him when he rests a finger under your chin, allowing him to press soft kisses to as much skin as he could reach on your face. his breath feels warm despite how cold the air is, and you think you could easily be able to stay like this forever.

but all good things must come to an end, and for you and doeui, it ends gradually like the summer turning to fall. as the weather gets cooler, so do your hearts. doeui still thinks back to that summer love every time he looks at your pearl necklace that hangs from his car mirror, longing for one more chance to kiss you.

Second last airbender OC Chen is the type of person to reinvent something already invented. Air nomad culture smulture- philosophy and whatever. Technically if they weren’t taught it existed then they’d feel like a genius rediscovering stuff.

(Air surfing/skateboarding 😭 I WAS JUST THINKING OF THAT. WAS I EVER UNIQUE?!!? I need to talk to people more… or rewatch everything)

Another headcanon for (some) characters from a hat in time (retail, cut content and ARG).

Retail:

Hat Kid has a personal enjoyment of military history, this stems from the fact that apart from those who were directly involved she is the only one that knows what actually occurred and as such has signed an NDA.

Bow Kid is a closeted sadist.

Mustache Girl's main dream before the mafia arrived on the island was to join the local fishing business.

Following the downfall of Mafia boss the mafia essentially fell apart from the inside, some stayed on the island but the islanders kicked them off, the rest went to someplace.

Mafia boss currently resides in La Felin as a permanent guest of the Empress following the events of a hat in time.

Goofy mafia is the only remnant o the mafia still living in mafia town following the events of a hat in time.

Cooking Cat arrived in Mafia town on the same ship the mafia arrived in, apparently mafia boss and her knew each other even before the mafia came to mafia town.

The Conductor is still trying to authorize the FUB government for a new locomotive for the owl express, he still hasn't received a response.

Dj Grooves once tried to create what is basically the bird version of high school musical, it was his biggest flop yet and has never been sold or seen since its original viewing because the penguin pulled it from everywhere out of embarrassment.

Snatcher might say that he doesn't care for the kids but deep down he really does care, among those is filling the fridge with healthier foods and the letter stealing thing he does for his minions.

Vanessa once enjoyed bacon herself however her mother was a bitch.

The Nomads have been around for countless years however nobody knows where the corpses of the dead go, these are fed to the goats who gladly accept them and the lazy paw get nothing.

The Lazy Paw first started out on the moon but fled into the mountains when the FUB sent in the national guard.

The captain has a wife and a child, he has also been on the S literally cannot sink since he was a young wireless operator, using a Marconi wireless which he kept serviced with his own tools.

The Empress actually was once a rich business woman that did some slight crime on the side but after one of the older Nyakuza bosses killed her family and took her eye out she went into crime fully and eventually beat the fucker to death with a crowbar.

Cut content, the prototype/alpha story took place years before the events of the retail game:

Beta kid was originally stitched together by Tim to act as a servant but after some timepiece shenanigans he modified her in order for her to be able to fight back if pressed.

Timmy's first time with a skateboard ended with him accidentally taking both him, Sam and Thor into the sea, they were rescued and Sam taught Timmy how to skateboard since he used to skateboard as a kid and wanted to teach him.

The first and only time Sam used his snub nosed .357 magnum revolver was when he was ambushed by Nyakuza agents while investigating the 'rush hour incident', he was also almost shot by a paranoid Hat Kid when trespassing on her ship to find clues if she was related to the Nyakuza.

Tim the CEO of Time actively takes anti-stress medication as a precaution against meltdowns, it probably doesn't work but he don't take no chances after the 'incident'.

Thor has been inventing since he was a child, his first invention was a mini zeppelin he flew himself.

Beta Mafia Boss' real name is called Jason while the retail one is called Matt, the two hate each other but while Matt's existence is depressing Jason is dead.

The retail mafia and the Beta mafia used to be the same group but a particularly nasty incident lead to a schism.

Moonjumper may be dead but his existence in the depths of Subcon Forest as some sort of deity showcases just how powerful he was when he existed.

TV head narrates everything in his life in the first person.

The Worm once fell into a giant blender, how he survived is beyond me.

ARG, the ARG lot appearing was an accident involving Hat Kid, alcohol and a slight but very entertaining trip into underaged drinking:

Tempus is a bit of a night owl and, thanks to Hat Kid, can take an RPG round to the face and not feel anything.

Puella has a bit of a sweet tooth and when she was younger she would spend money on sweets, under Tempus however she had little options unless Tempus gave some to her as a reward.

Aggripa and Puella are partners and fully intend to get married, Tempus doesn't want them to because they would be annoying to deal with.

Cavus wants them to tie the knot to annoy Tempus.

Among Hat Kid's favorite collective nicknames for the founders is 'the malformed ballsack'.
