#Pollux has good ideas

[acewithwords]

Pollux: I have a great idea.

Rigel: No.

Spica: No.

Pollux: But-

Rigel: Last time you had a good idea the entire lab got set on fire.

Pollux: That was an accident! Plus it was Sirius' fault anyway.

Arcatus: Come on guys let's hear him out!

Pollux: Thank you Arcky! Anyway, I think we should have more support animals for the school.

Spica, having a mini crisis on whether to agree or not:

Rigel: Wha-

Ω PJO DEMIGOD HEADCANONS:

🍇DIONYSUS; God of Wine making, fertility, theater, festivity, and insanity. 🎭

author's note: I had a sudden idea about writing some headcanons Camp Halfblood demigods being claimed and what it's like for each respective god and cabin, followed by a small blurb afterwards. Thank you for reading and please like and reblog! The order is not in order of the cabin numbers. [PJO DEMIGOD HEADCANONS MASTERLIST]

You get claimed in an untypical manner. You heard of demigods waiting for a sign of their godly parent claiming them, with a glowing symbol above their head. Instead, when you get introduced to the camp members, Mr. D appears carrying a can of diet coke and casually states “No need to put them in the Hermes’ cabin. They're one of mine's”

Cue the record scratch. This immediately brings a lot of confusion and gossip. Many eyes look between you and Mr. D who doesn't seem bothered at all. You saw Chiron sigh and place his hand to his face, giving your godly father a disappointed headshake. Then you hear Castor and Pollux yell that they have a new sibling that they didn't even know about?!

You get a lot of looks of sympathy and jealousy. You don't figure out why until a little bit later on. Chiron fills you in with a reassuring voice but also speaks with an exasperated tone to Dionysus 

Although you guys can't make wine or touch anything alcohol related, you did inherit Dioynsus' wine making skills. This includes also being good at making infused drinks or mixing drinks that range from mixing soda flavours together to making your tea blend. Even if the flavours shouldn't work together or whatever the drink type you're making, you just can. You are your own personal barista.

Putting this first and out of the way, you're both in a blessed and awkward situation where you are able to see and interact with your godly parent. Mr. D tries to treat you like every other demigod in Camp Halfblood, and that makes it awkward when you don't know if you should call him “Dad” or “Mr. D”, but at the same time, you know you have it better then others. 

It doesn't mean Mr. D doesn't keep an eye out. When you dedicate your offerings to the gods and look at him when you do it, you can just see Dionysus’ face soften and his eyes have a hint of affection. 

Don't ask how you or your other half-siblings came to be if Mr. D was sentenced to Camp Halfblood. You won't get an answer from but at least you know you're not alone and the twins are glad to have a baby sibling. Get ready for the youngest sibling treatment. 

Dionysus is the God of Theatre so you have a theatrical flare. Even if you're introverted, you're not exempt; this can be applied in how you do certain things or be rather convincing at times. If you're extroverted, well, you're automatically the Theatre kid. 

This turns out to be rather useful in events like Capture the Flag in a state of mania. When the heat of the battle starts to get to you, you feel your godly parent's power begin to rise in you and you can use that theaters flair to rouse your teammate's spirits up. You can also get a bit maniac and effect your teammates and enemies alike and become rather terrifying. 

You have a bit of a green thumb so you can find some solace with the Demeter kids. However, unlike the Demeter kids who can just make plants grow and flourish, your green thumb only really applies to plants you have an interest in like Dionysus with his grapes…or now strawberries. Regardless, you can keep a houseplant alive at least. 

Aside from a few very selected people within Camp, you're one of the few people who has seen Mr.D's true form. Not his godly form or the Mr. D you've seen, but the form he usually shows in front of mortals. Then it becomes very obvious how your other parent became so enamoured. You thank him silently for taking up his current form because you’re not going to be ready to hear about Mr. D being a DILF.

“Welcome to Cabin 12!” greeted Castor and Pollux as they opened the door to the cabin. You looked inside and saw how lived in the cabin was. It was clear the twins didn't expect to have another sibling and judging by the absolute shock that your shared father was supposed to be stuck in Camp, they really didn't expect him to have another mortal child.   

You also noticed on one of their nightstands there were stacks of Coke and Pepsi, each belonging to one of the beds. There were copious amounts of it, and you wonder if being a child of Dionysus was a prerequisite of having a drink as your go-to drink. Like wine fo Dionysus…though you heard he had to switch to Diet Coke due to his punishment. 

“Yeah, sorry for the whole…mess,” said Castor as he looked sheepish. “Pollux and I weren't expecting anyone else to be here, especially since it's been so long since we've first arrived. And you know, our dad, being, well-”

Pollux cleared his throat, “What Castor means, despite everything, we're thrilled to have a baby sibling. We've always been together so we're not that alone, but every now and again, we kind of get envious of the other cabins and having other siblings.”

You smiled when the door is knocked and a new bunk bed is being brought in, Castor and Pollux grinned at you. “Come on, let's get your stuff and space ready, and let's go see our dad.”

Here we go again,

Puzzles/ jigsaws would confuse Aliens so much

Set on the serpentine, beginning of the humans tenure

Important crew:

Primoz, captain -Limoyh a four armed species-Krag, second in command (brother of Primoz)

Kit, dokter -avian, bird like, she has feathers like a swallow-

Ortez, ASR (all species resources, human resources in space) -kiltak, insectoid species, think ants but exoskeleton-

Lugea, helmsperson (does the steering) -rock like alien-

Artex, engineer/mechanic 1 -also Kiltak-

And then our humans:

Kamari, navigator -Eritrean woman- (has cat named Sidra)

Markus, weapons expert (knows how to use them and upkeep, also shields) -Swedish man-

Petrus, mechanic/engineer 2 - Italian man-

Lilly, administrator/note keeper (learns languages for fun)-english woman-

~~~~~~~

Puzzles

The serpentine is on route between trading posts, this is currently the furthest route without proper jump point because of the static energy surrounding the dual planets castor and pollux.

Primoz is getting worried. The humans are becoming increasingly more jittery and Kamari looks like she a pinch away from punch someone, Markus has been ‘humming’ a song that annoys her greatly. Honestly the noises the tall man is making don’t seem that bad but every few minutes her eyebrows twitch which Ortez told him is a sign of frustration.

Before the captain can figure out how to keep them from doing something deathworld worthy, Lilly comes in with precariously stacked carton boxes and Petrus carrying a table. Setting the pile down the smallest human straightens out “look what i brought! Old earth puzzles! This one has a deer and this one has the old world wonders” immediately the humming stops and Markus is at the table with Petrus “oh yes Lilly you are the best! I wanna do the deer one, that is gonna be a challenge”

With the table in the corner of the bridge the tension among crew is nearly gone, as all species try to put the cut apart pictures together, Lilly brought 9 puzzles and at a certain point a competition was forming: after one of the human unit had finished a puzzle the other crew try to make it in less time. They have yet to win.

Looking at his relaxed crew Primoz grins at his brother who is trying to use all his four arms to put pieces together without much succes. Turning away from the competition he taps Lilly on her shoulder “how do you guys do it? Also why did you think to take these things with you.” Lilly looks up from her drawing (the crew bent over the table making the puzzle) “well i knew it was going to be a long trip, Kamari thinks Markus will be ‘professional’ but he can’t help himself” her soft smile when she puts air punctuation around professional makes her look much younger than she is “puzzles are something many humans enjoy, not everyone is as good at them as Markus, but he does this thing where he uses the shape of them more than colours. While he isn’t colour blind, he has real trouble with telling differences in shades. No idea why it works this well but it does, Petrus has already won three nights of free drinking on Castor from betting.” All of a sudden looking bashful Lilly ducks her head “ah eh yes sorry forget i said that we don’t bet on this at all!” Primoz just grins “nobody has broken anything this whole trip, im not going to disrupt the flow you and your unit created. Don’t worry.”

At arrival Petrus has won the whole human crew free drinks for the foreseeable future, and the crew in its entirety hooked on puzzles. While not all species see the colours the same way or understand the patterning in the pieces the feeling of putting in the correct pieces makes it such an enjoyable activity that Lilly brings new puzzles after every holiday back home.

~~~~~~~~~

This one was born out of the confusion my family had when we were making puzzles (jigsaws?) the pictures in pieces… this is where it becomes super clear English is not my first language. Anyway, we had two puzzles out and they were so surprised i could differentiate the positions the pieces needed to be in without context. I had to tell them that the pattern otherwise won’t make sense,

I have the same thing as Markus that colours are fine unless you put several of the same colours next to each other and call them different. This is why the deer one is super hard,

The two puzzles that were described:

[sleepytwilight]

hii sleepy :D could you write about a sort of like knight summoner from medieval times who thinks the boys are a prince and are bound to them to protect them? idk it came into my brain and i thought it'd be neat :D

Ohh!!! I like this ask!

𝓐𝓻𝓬𝓽𝓾𝓻𝓾𝓼

When you first summoned him, you really didn't know what happened. You thought he's some kind of magic prince because he suddenly appeared in front of you.

Anyway, Arcturus realize the monster were harassing you and was about to help you until you killed the monster by yourself.

He was surprised and when you bowed to him, he was even more surprised.

You said you'll protect him since he's a prince

He has no idea what's going on and he don't know how you can carry him up like a princess.

Okay but he actually enjoy this kind of treatment.

Okay but you need to stop protecting him every second you feels like he's in danger, he also want to protect you too.

You both ended up protecting each other, how cute.

𝓢𝓹𝓲𝓬𝓪

Spica thought you were a barbarian for a second until you told him that you're a knight from mid eartheim.

You and Spica didn't get along that well until you know Spica unhealthy sleeping schedule.

Since then you've been by his side, making sure he gets his 8 hours of sleep, eat well, throw away all the coffee-

Spica really don't really like this behavior of yours, it going on like this until one day on a mission, monsters suddenly attack you and him.

Surprisedly you defeat all the monsters because Spica don't have any energy left, he admit it he has been too harsh on you.

He became a bit softer and finally got a good sleeping schedule.

He don't have to know the fact you threatened the students to not make any troubles

𝓟𝓸𝓵𝓵𝓾𝔁

Pollux is the cutest prince ever, just admit it.

When you first saw him, you immediately go into protective mode.

Pollux in his tsundere self said he don't enjoy the fact you're protecting him (he actually likes it a lot.)

He taught you how to use gun since you can't carry the heavy sword around the academy.

Maybe teaching you how to use gun is a bad idea.

He enjoys when you addressed him "Your highness/my prince" he blushing madly fr.

He scared what will you think about him not being the real Pollux but you still want to serve him as his knight.

God how much he cried, he is happy that you didn't change your view on him.

𝓐𝓵𝓹𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓪𝓽𝔃

Why do you want to protect a big strong prince like him? Alpheratz literally asking himself why.

He actually enjoy your company, rather than a knight, you're like a friend who look out for him.

You both have sense of who to protect, both worried about Arcturus and Pollux.

It feels like a one sided friendship, your purpose is to protect your prince. He can't really change your mind can he?

When both of you found out they you two reincarnated lovers, it feels like a new world to Alpheratz.

Now he's protecting you, nothing in the world belong to him but he want to protect his beloved.

If you're a knight then he's a prince, can he ask you to be his beloved once again?

𝓢𝓲𝓻𝓲𝓾𝓼

Sirius feels awkward when you call him "My Lord" or "Master". It feels out of place, he's the one want to address you like that again.

You were Polaris, his mentor. He's just a little sorcerer who want his mentor to be with him again.

Yet you still protect him, you protected him like how Polaris used to protect him. He feels like he's about to break down everytime you asked him if he's okay.

You really love to make things complicated for him.

He realizes that as long you're here, you can't live a free life. He want you to live a life without the need to protect someone, because if you keep protecting everyone... You'll ended sacrificing yourself once again.

He's a prince that meant to betray his knight. It's all to save you don't you know that?

𝓥𝓮��𝓪

Well there's two knight, it's either him or you protect. It's like a fight but without fighting.

Vega gave a lot of excuses why he should protect you, his winning chance is 50% because you know better.

You guys protecting each other, like so cute- especially in a mission when you are battling the monsters, you both are unstoppable duo.

You call him "pretty prince" just to tease him. He's a guy with pretty face lol.

When you remember him as your childhood friend, you treat him even more gentler. He'll never get use to you carry him around because you used to carry him when you both were kids.

At last, you both need to separate huh? Vega made an oath before you leave this world, he hopes for you to come back and be his knight.

My headcanons of Clovis x Child of Aphrodite

*CoA (child of Aphrodite, any gender but in this case mostly female)

-these are also a few fanfic ideas that I have

**More here **

Took a while for Clovis to accept the fact a CoA likes him and for him to acknowledge his own feelings for them (Nico and a few other campers: Pollux, Stroll brothers, and (anyone else) who are close with Clovis and maybe even a particular wine god encouraged Clovis to give dating a try)

Clovis originally wanted to keep the relationship a secret to prevent any potential bullying that may occur to the child of Aphrodite-it didn’t work since CoA wanted to show how serious they were in trying to pursue a relationship with him and felt that Clovis didn’t think they meant it when they asked to date (they were also upset ~rightfully so)

Sometimes when they want affection or a kiss from Clovis, they would ask him in French; flirt with each other in french (if you’re lucky enough, you might see a bashful child of Aphrodite-very rare)

Clovis is passionate and good kisser but he’s always hesitant on making the first move

They took time to learn and make a quilt (night sky theme) from Athena's cabin for Clovis (he treasures it a lot and refuses to let anyone else touch it)

Sometimes they experience emotions that’s not very expected of a child of Aphrodite such as …

Jealousy ,they can get extremely jealous around those that Clovis seems close to or those that Clovis has an easier time to fall asleep on the person’s shoulder /snuggle close to which sometimes they forced Clovis to do a bit of PDA in front of that person~Clovis is a little uncomfortable with PDA as he’s still kinda new to the dating life (Clovis got jealous once and according to that CoA it was “the most hottest thing” they’ve ever seen/ experienced out of all their past relationship -sometimes they often dream about the event to relive the moment)

Insecurity , they heard rumors that Drew and Clovis may had a thing in the past but no one’s really sure and they feel that they’re not pretty as Drew or whatever they do it’s either not good enough (sometimes they feel that way with Clovis’s close friends or the fact others expect them to fit the stereotypes of being an Aphrodite child)

Have gotten frustrated on what to wear because they really want Clovis to like them or get a few more seconds of his attention before he falls asleep (Clovis himself has sometimes worry that their dates might not go as well or he’s not doing enough)

Sometimes they wear something warm and fluffy at the camp fire (which they have noticed that Clovis is more likely to cuddle and sleep on them; can lead to a bit of competition with some of Clovis’s friends who are cold all the time and use him as a heater)

Have used tears to get their way of things (I feel like Clovis is a bit of a people pleaser and hates to see people upset or cry which he can give in most of the time)

Have used charm speak into getting Clovis to do what they want~usually more attention or affection (once they took it too far with charm speaking and they never wanted to put Clovis into that position or feeling again after they realized they took it too far)

Clovis has set up little gifts or surprises ahead of time with some help from other campers to hopefully make the child of Aphrodite happy or feel appreciated-it’s sometimes something that they’ve been eyeing on for awhile

Clovis lets them steal a few of his favorite hoodies if that means that they won’t take his pillows when he wants to take a quick nap

Have used Clovis as an excuse to skip camp activities or cabin tasks because how can they do anything if poor Clovis won’t let them go while he’s sleeping and holding them 😏😏😏

Have made false claims of nightmares or bad dreams just to get some dream dates with Clovis or even spend time with him (they secretly enjoying how he fusses and worries about the nightmares that are affecting them from good quality of sleep/sleeping)

They do push Clovis out of his comfort zone and sometimes drag him to do little errands or places that they enjoy (shopping, beaches, sometimes at their friends’-their friends grew to like Clovis)

Clovis can pick out pretty cute outfits for them if he’s gotten enough sleep and have surprised other children of Aphrodite where his make up skills are a lot better than theirs (only because he does occasionally run into famous makeup artists’ dreams and memories-he does pick up a few tips and tricks which he does help some campers learn if they have the patience with him but also to prevent all the children of Aphrodite from waking him up and having him do all their makeup~boy needs and loves his sleep; he will only make an exception to the one he’s dating which can lead to fights with their siblings about how unfair it is that Clovis only did their makeup but not theirs )

Other campers have learned to respect him as they know it’s not easy to date a child of Aphrodite but also there was a time Clovis left camp without telling Chiron to go to his mom’s place out of spite since he wasn’t getting enough sleep due to everyone kept him up for a week or so for personal reasons as well as a few pranks and he was at his limit~lasted 3-4 days since everyone’s sleep schedule was affected (Ares cabin and Nico were the ones who dragged him back to camp after they found where he went and tried to get him back by asking him nicely several times through iris messaging but it came to a point that they couldn’t wait any longer)

Chiron kinda put Clovis in house arrest (more in Clovis’s favor) as a punishment and had him spend more time with the CoA that he’s dating to reverse the domino effects that Clovis had “unintentionally” put the camp through (Clovis knew what he was doing when he left but things went mostly back to normal-less bullying on Clovis as the other children of Aphrodite made sure of that; Ares cabin also makes sure Clovis is where he’s supposed to be cause 1. He’s their fav go to person when it comes to nightmares, 2. He gives great massages when he needs them to relax to process their bad dreams, 3. They claimed the only reason why they brought back Clovis is because they “can’t perform” well on low sleep, but really they secretly view Clovis as their own)

Campers and staff weren’t able to get good quality of sleep since it was a hassle to comfort an upset CoA who affected other people’s beauty sleep which lead to conflicts for other campers in relationships (kinda like a domino effect), the other children of Hypnos weren’t fully paying attention to Clovis in their dreamscape lessons when he was trying to teach them proper bed care manners while helping those with bad dreams and traumatic ones as well as dealing with more challenging sleep paralysis demons, and Will didn’t want to get his therapist role back because that means less time with Nico which Nico would not be happy and is still a bit mad when Will had to step in for a bit while others were looking for Clovis

Clovis once fractured his neck and both his arms (long story) and they (CoA) had an enjoyable time spoon feeding him or hand feeding~they still do it after Clovis is all healed up and says that they don’t need to, but they want to cause Clovis is just too cute and precious to them (Clovis loves it tho but sometimes feels embarrassed; the Stroll brothers have teased him about it and called him a little baby dreamboat whenever he’s being feed by hand)

They had an argument with Mitchell only because Mitchell is worried that his friendship with Clovis might be affected with the fact Clovis is dating one of his siblings (plus Mitchell was Clovis’s friend first) and fears that his progress of getting Clovis to put more effort in his self appearance and have better self esteem might be undone

Dionysus unexpectedly gets involved in this whole relationship stuff (has to act as a mediator) because there was a huge argument between them (CoA) and Pollux (as well as a few of Clovis’s other friends) about the amount time Clovis spends with each one (Dionysus reluctantly picked up this role only because he secretly really appreciates how Clovis has helped Pollux a lot from the ptsd of losing his brother as well as other trauma from war and doesn’t want Pollux to spiral; Dionysus also sees bits of Castor in Clovis) more

*when I saw this pic going around on ig, my first thought was Clovis and a child of Aphrodite 😍😍😍

Part 2

[frankierotwinkdeath]

“However, this sceptic had one fanaticism. This fanaticism was neither a dogma, nor an idea, nor an art, nor a science; it was a man: Enjolras. Grantaire admired, loved, and venerated Enjolras. To whom did this anarchical scoffer unite himself in this phalanx of absolute minds? To the most absolute. In what manner had Enjolras subjugated him? By his ideas? No. By his character. A phenomenon which is often observable. A sceptic who adheres to a believer is as simple as the law of complementary colors. That which we lack attracts us. No one loves the light like the blind man. The dwarf adores the drum-major. The toad always has his eyes fixed on heaven. Why? In order to watch the bird in its flight. Grantaire, in whom writhed doubt, loved to watch faith soar in Enjolras. He had need of Enjolras. That chaste, healthy, firm, upright, hard, candid nature charmed him, without his being clearly aware of it, and without the idea of explaining it to himself having occurred to him. He admired his opposite by instinct. His soft, yielding, dislocated, sickly, shapeless ideas attached themselves to Enjolras as to a spinal column. His moral backbone leaned on that firmness. Grantaire in the presence of Enjolras became some one once more. He was, himself, moreover, composed of two elements, which were, to all appearance, incompatible. He was ironical and cordial. His indifference loved. His mind could get along without belief, but his heart could not get along without friendship. A profound contradiction; for an affection is a conviction. His nature was thus constituted. There are men who seem to be born to be the reverse, the obverse, the wrong side. They are Pollux, Patrocles, Nisus, Eudamidas, Ephestion, Pechmeja. They only exist on condition that they are backed up with another man; their name is a sequel, and is only written preceded by the conjunction and; and their existence is not their own; it is the other side of an existence which is not theirs. Grantaire was one of these men. He was the obverse of Enjolras.

One might almost say that affinities begin with the letters of the alphabet. In the series O and P are inseparable. You can, at will, pronounce O and P or Orestes and Pylades.

Grantaire, Enjolras’ true satellite, inhabited this circle of young men; he lived there, he took no pleasure anywhere but there; he followed them everywhere. His joy was to see these forms go and come through the fumes of wine. They tolerated him on account of his good humor.

Enjolras, the believer, disdained this sceptic; and, a sober man himself, scorned this drunkard. He accorded him a little lofty pity. Grantaire was an unaccepted Pylades. Always harshly treated by Enjolras, roughly repulsed, rejected yet ever returning to the charge, he said of Enjolras: “What fine marble!””

If you even care.

Lazarus Pit - DC x Riordanverse

Nico di Angelo and Pollux meet and save either Jason Todd, Tim Drake, or Damian Wayne at the Lazarus Pit and take them to Camp Halfblood.

Hades & Thanatos requested that Nico di Angelo and the only surviving Son of Dionysus, Pollux, rectify the problem of the Lazarus Pits.

Every Death/Underworld God of every pantheon has agreed that the Pits are an abomination of maddeningly corruptive resurrection that never should have been used, especially not for immortality. Ra’s al Ghul will face eternal punishment for his crimes in whichever underworld he ends up in.

As the most experienced child of Hades alive and the only one with teleportation powers, Nico was an obvious choice for the mission. Pollux, however, was chosen because of his father’s control over insanity and lesser known association with rebirth. Unfortunately, because Nico is a Prince of the Underworld, it goes against his very nature to touch liquid resurrection, and doing so would leave harsh burns on his skin in addition to the average effect of Pit Rage. A bottomless pot was forged and enchanted to fully drain the pits but even then, the essence bleeding through is too much. In order to combat this, a son of rebirth and insanity (Pollux) must be sent to drain and hold the pot while Nico acts as transport and defense from the League of Assassins.

While most of the Pits are drained with little to no problem thanks to Leo’s hacking and Nico soul sight, it’s the last Pit where the plan goes awry. Which bat the boys meet next is up for your choosing. A choose your own adventure for writers who already have that option anyway.

Personally, I believe either Jason or Tim to be the most plausible to be in the Pit Room and in such a bad situation that the demigods would feel the need to intervene. Jason because, obviously, he’d be about to get dunked in it to restore his mental capacity and demigods know that’s an awful idea. Not to mention that Pollux could ask Dionysus to fix that instead if needed. Once his mind’s back, he’s going to be absolutely pissed that so many kids are being used as child soldiers, cannon fodder, and monster food with little to no outside help. After he reunites with his family, he’ll definitely be setting up a series of fully-stocked safe houses with hero contacts taking shifts to protect them from monsters if not all are secure enough with bat tech. When he’s older, he’ll probably adopt some.

Tim because he just lost his Spleen and surgery isn’t cutting it so they also need to dunk him. The demigods take him to Camp for Apollo Cabin surgery. It’d be kind of weird for Will Solace to be a better surgeon than one hired by the al Ghuls (even if he’s a demigod) but it’s action/adventure fiction so we can afford to be handwavey about it. He’d definitely set up a safe house system too, but might not adopt a demigod when he’s older.

The demigods could also meet Damian since obviously he grew up there but I seriously doubt he’d be in there without Ra’s and/or Talia personally overseeing his safety. And while these demigods are good, 500 yrs of combat experience is pretty damn hard to beat (especially since many of the giants and titans probably relied more on brute force/power than skill) and Talia’s no slouch either, not to mention that it’s unlikely that Damian would be physically abused in that room badly enough to need intervention during such a high-stakes quest. He might not see the need for a safe house system, but when he meets/reunites with the batfam, Jason at least would probably still set it up.

[motherfuckingmaneater]

Obsessed with how you portray father Cygnus (I hate black sisters abuse theories) please give us all your headcannons for him!

You and me both, anon! My headcanons list for daddy warbucks is ENDLESS so here are a good chunk. Enjoy!

 ◜    ۞    ◞   he’s a Black through and through. Tall, broad, grey eyes, black hair, classically handsome even as he gets older and older. Behind Tom Riddle he was certainly one of the most handsome boys at school despite that he’s 2 years younger than Tom. 

 ◜    ۞    ◞   his best subjects were arithmancy, astronomy and alchemy. 

 ◜    ۞    ◞   his magical expertise is astounding — of course it is, he’s a Black — he can recall histories of ancient lineages in his sleep and he practices rune mapping regularly. His skin is littered in runes, though admittedly, not as deeply as Orion’s is. 

 ◜    ۞    ◞   like all Blacks he relies on his name more than anything else. They’re arrogant but they’re not show-offs like the Malfoys. They’re haughty but not snooty like the Rosiers. More than anything he knows how steeped in ancient and dark magic the Blacks are and he draws on that heavily, investing himself deeply in their unique, powerful, dark magic. 

 ◜    ۞    ◞   he also loves hunting (muggle hunting is a favourite), wizards chess, collecting dark artefacts — which he’s been doing for as long as he can remember, having ludicrously expensive things imported from all over the world. It was a hobby of his fathers which he shared interest in. 

 ◜    ۞    ◞   Speaking of his dad, he and Pollux had a lot in common but Pollux’s pride and joy was always Walburga.

 ◜    ۞    ◞   Pollux pushed him for a career in magical law with the Ministry. Irma wanted him to become an alchemist. Alchemy was his passion, a passion he later shares with his eldest daughter, Bellatrix. 

 ◜    ۞    ◞   He excelled in magical law enforcement anyway, taking additional studies to become a magilawyer. He climbs quickly in the Ministry, moving from junior to senior within the space of about four years. By the age of 30 he’s the head of magical law enforcement, the youngest wizard in Ministry history to reach that position. 

 ◜    ۞    ◞   For a long time he remains magilawyer primarily keeping purebloods out of Azkaban and supporting the imprisonment of mudbloods. Yes he’s a corrupt wizard, no he does not care. 

 ◜    ۞    ◞   he’s heir (English side, Orion is the French side’s heir) to the wealthiest family in the world. He has more gold than he knows what to do with. When he returns from the continent he invests it heavily in Lord Voldemort, who he’s always thought has absolutely the right ideas about blood purity and whom he genuinely admires (despite that he was not invited to become a knight at school). 

 ◜    ۞    ◞   Cygnus refuses to take the mark unlike many of his former classmates. Voldemort would’ve killed him for refusing him but Cygnus is useful and loyal despite his refusal to play destroy for him. Voldemort immediately uses him for keeping his death eaters out of prison if they’re ever caught, which isn’t often — and for writing new rules into the law systems of magical Britain. 

 ◜    ۞    ◞   he and Druella were a love match, though she is his complete opposite. His father approved of the match (she’s a good standing pureblood witch after all) but his mother didn’t and wanted him to marry a Black, likely his cousin Lucretia. She relented because of Walburga, who made the point of — what does it matter? His children will still be Blacks. 

 ◜    ۞    ◞   onto his babies!!! He’s very very proud to be a girl dad. He adores his three witches, every single one of them is the absolute light of his life and he understands them completely. He gets Bellatrix’s adventurous mind and rebellious spirit, he gets Andromeda’s academic mind and quirky spirit, he gets Narcissa’s pristine mind and sweet spirit. He adores them for their uniqueness and very much encourages them to explore and pursue their passions.

 ◜    ۞    ◞  baby Narcissa curled up on his chest is guaranteed to make him fall asleep within seconds. 

 ◜    ۞    ◞   Druella definitely marks him down as the reason Bellatrix takes the mark and Andromeda becomes politically minded against their way of life. Cygnus takes none of the blame because his girls have always been single-mindedly passionate to what they believe in.  

 ◜    ۞    ◞   Andromeda’s leaving wounds him deeply, but only furthers his closeness to Bellatrix and Narcissa, remaining very much a deep and fixed part of their lives. 

 ◜    ۞    ◞   he’s daddy as fuck. 

 ◜    ۞    ◞   100% Alphard was his best friend. He did not approve of him being disowned for giving Sirius gold, though he did heavily disapprove of Sirius’s actions against the family. 

 ◜    ۞    ◞   Walburga is the love of his life, he adores his big sister though he finds her intolerable at times (as all siblings do). He bends over backwards for her and does it without thinking twice. He is also exceptionally protective of her — cut to Cygnus decking Orion in the face for calling her a stuck up bitch and Walburga telling him she ‘wanted to do that herself!’

 ◜    ۞    ◞   Narcissa has done him the most proud for her family values and her integrity.

 ◜    ۞    ◞   Bellatrix has done him the most proud for her strength, ability, power and position in society.

 ◜    ۞    ◞   he approved of Bellatrix being taught magic by Voldemort when she’s 15 — after all, she’s practically a child and Voldemort is older than him what’s the worst that could happen? 

 ◜    ۞    ◞   He didn’t realise how in love with him she was until he hears them conversing when she’s 19 and engaged to Rodolphus Lestrange. He didn’t mean to listen in, but he overhears her begging him not to marry her to Rodolphus and take her instead. He says no but that it won’t change things between them, she’ll always be his first. It stilts Cygnus entirely and he leaves quickly. He never shares what he hears with anyone, even Bellatrix.

 ◜    ۞    ◞   he finds out about Orion and Bellatrix’s affair first. He finds them asleep together when they’re in Orion’s home in France. 

 ◜    ۞    ◞   if he could, he’d have had her marry Sirius and keep the Black family name. As it is, he was too young for her and also she seems dead set against having children anyway — and he doubts Sirius could change her mind, so he relents against his preferences for her marriage. 

 ◜    ۞    ◞   as for Rodolphus I have two ideas for how this could go: either way he loves his son in-law, they have an excellent relationship and they’re both dangerously protective of Bellatrix. 1. Rodolphus and Bellatrix have been best friends since their childhood, it makes sense they marry each other. Bellatrix doesn’t mind so much, he’d make for an easy enough match and she does seem to adore the wizard. It’s an easy engagement, easy marriage, and they make a beautiful couple. 2. Rodolphus is Cygnus and Voldemort’s age, a former peer of theirs. Rodolphus never marries and never shows he’s interested in Bellatrix. Bellatrix expresses her interest in him directly to a very surprised but perfectly pleased Cygnus who agrees he’s an exceptional wizard and would make for a brilliant husband. Plus if Orion proves anything, he knows his girl has always liked her older wizards. They court for some time, get engaged within a year and married in the next — again they make a beautiful couple. 

 ◜    ۞    ◞   he is not keen on Lucius Malfoy despite that he seems to dote on Narcissa and bend to her every whim. Narcissa deserves far better — but honestly no one would be good enough for his most precious girl, so fine.

 ◜    ۞    ◞   He knew about Bellatrix and Voldemort’s affair and did everything in his power to keep it from ruining his daughter’s reputation which he felt she was being reckless about. 

 ◜    ۞    ◞   he tried to talk her out of it multiple times but it only seemed to further her closeness to Voldemort and Voldemort’s iron-tight grip on his daughter. 

 ◜    ۞    ◞   one day when he finally confronts him, Voldemort says if he wanted to make his pretty little daughter his personal whore he would, and who would stop him? Certainly not Cygnus Black. Cygnus (in his very characteristically Black temperament) pulled all Black funding from under Voldemort’s feet and found himself on the other end of Voldemort’s wand. When Cygnus refused to relent despite the threat of death, Voldemort turned his wand onto Bellatrix. He had the choice — continue giving him the gold he wanted or lose his heiress. He didn’t think he could actually kill her given how close they were and how heavily involved with everything Bellatrix was (and quite frankly, how obsessed and possessive of Bellatrix Voldemort appeared to be) but Cygnus complied.

 ◜    ۞    ◞   he once more risked Voldemort’s wrath by demanding the man at least have the decency to marry his daughter when he gets her pregnant. Voldemort only laughed and Cygnus lost what little respect for him he had left after that. Though he continues supporting the cause, he actively avoids Voldemort unless he can’t. Even then, he speaks to him with a candour and freeness no one else (except Walburga and Pollux) seem able to. 

 ◜    ۞    ◞   Despite that, he absolutely adores his little granddaughter (more than his grandson, sorry Draco). Delphini means the world to Cygnus and he’s grateful to Walburga for legitimising her. 

 ◜    ۞    ◞  the most devoted, hands-on grandfather you will ever come across. Absolutely spoils his girl rotten just like he did her mother.

 ◜    ۞    ◞  he continues hunting well into his older age, almost always solely with Bellatrix. It hurts him just a little she goes with Voldemort more than him. During the height of the war he never sees her without him nor him without her. 

 ◜    ۞    ◞   he loses his job when he fights for Bellatrix’s release from Azkaban prison. He’s disbarred and revoked of his positions and titles. He’s heart broken and inconsolable at his daughter’s imprisonment, his most beautiful, shining star chained behind bars. He misses her beyond belief and not Walburga, Druella or Narcissa are able to pull him from his grief.

 ◜    ۞    ◞   he dies from the heartbreak of losing Bellatrix to Azkaban and then soon after, Walburga’s death. No one is with him when he passes, but his hand is tight around the picture he keeps of Bellatrix with him all the time. Delphini takes the picture and keeps it herself.

Summoner who experiences Chronic Fatigue & Chronic Pain 

How the Artw cast reacts to a Summoner with Chronic Fatigue & Chronic Pain. The gender of the Summoner is not mentioned, this can be read as enby, man, woman, trans, etc. :D

Special thanks to Cora ( @adcmans ) for helping me come up with ideas!!

BTW IF you want to add anything please do in the comments, I'd love to hear your ideas!! Or reblog!! :D

[Disability Rep | Pronouns of Summoner not mentioned | Gender of Summoner not mentioned | Some Suggestive Text | Tooth Rotting Sweet at times ]

Spica

Spica’s part has some stuff about the MC/Summoner to explain the context a bit.

You explained your condition to him first, less due to trust and more due to wanting to get accommodated for your disability ASAP, and not being totally sure how to go about that. He seems the most reasonable and accountable of the bunch.

At first, he didn’t quite understand but it certainly didn’t take long with your explanation of your condition. Spica helped you through the process of getting medication through the school due to your… Finances being… Low… (*cough* broke, poor, you have nothing now that you fell through a damn rift- *cough*) Luckily the school easily covered it, taking some of the weight of your anxiety off your shoulders. Wow, their Medicare system is nice. Unlike some places.

Since, to your surprise, Spica checked in on you frequently when you dozed off during meetings or when your pace would slow, asking if you were tired if something hurt, or if you needed to rest.

Spica went with you to pick up some school supplies from one of the village shops, mostly just plenty of pencils with big pencil grips which made it easier to hold. The number of times you’ve lost a pencil simply because it rolled off your desk is… To put it simply, a lot. And a backpack to carry your school stuff in as just holding it wouldn’t quite work for you.

You were quite anxious to start using a mobility aid because then you’d have to explain to everyone why… But Spica made sure to explain to the rest of the Guide Committee just why you were using forearm crutches so they wouldn’t bombard you with questions, after asking if that’d be alright of course.

Upon occasion when you were being stubborn, wanting to keep up with the others, Spica would pull you to the side (-if he had to he would grab your arm just above your elbow and sit you down on the nearest couch beside himself-) and would begin to lecture you- reminding you that it is ok to take breaks & rest. Followed by your comment about his sleep schedule had him stuttering for a moment before coming up with a “good reason” as to why that was totally reasonable. Your expression showed your opinion on that.

It’s safe to say you MADE Spica sleep more hours at night when you could, sometimes he’d be too stubborn. One time he was snappy about it, telling you off harshly though he did apologize later it still stung.

Spica immediately offered to help you ready yourself for the day if you ever felt too tired to do so alone, and you took him up on that offer sometimes, if he could spare some time away from his paperwork.

Spica was the first to offer to take you out for breakfast whenever he could, Arcturus sometimes joined the two of you if they happened to both be free though Spica preferred it to just be the two of you.

Pollux

Before finding out

In class when the Summoner would doze off he’d huff, and puff, but never wake them. Once they woke (or he woke them up after class) he’d chew them out over sleeping through class. Sometimes classes. Threatening to leave them asleep in the classroom next time. (which he never does, it doesn’t take you long to catch on)

You have caught him staring more than once, though you play it off as if you totally didn’t notice him with his head down beside you blatantly gazing at you with big stary eyes.

Sometimes when you’d be writing down your notes your hand would twitch and you’d drop your pencil, having pushed yourself too far. Pollux didn’t notice at first but when you’d take breaks from writing he’d ask why and you’d shrug off his question, picking up the pencil and beginning to work again.

And lunch… Pollux couldn’t quite understand why you’d sleep through lunch of all things, the food was always great. Especially the chocolates he usually kept to himself, that he’d brought as his dessert, he’d sometimes share with you and Arcturus.

Pollux never quite got how you couldn’t keep up with him when he’d run ahead, often telling you to exercise more. It felt insensitive, causing you to show him a bit of a cold shoulder afterward though you knew he just didn’t know about your disability.

Sometimes when you were quite tired and just so happened to be sitting beside Pollux you’d unconsciously doze off while leaning against his shoulder. Pollux would stare at you for a few moments after you leaned against him, then look away and cover his face with his hand, but remain still and quiet so as to not wake you. He would stay there till you woke.

Polly would make rude comments about your disgruntled unkept appearance on bad days, pushing stray hairs into place. Huffed and puffed when he tried fixing up your hair, he got better at that over time. It’s become a sort of daily routine for him to play with your hair during class, sometimes you’d play with his too, he loved it when you did and you could tell by how he squeezed his eyes shut and blushed.

After Spica’s explanation at the meeting

Pollux, much like the others, wondered why you weren’t there till Spica began the Guide Committee meeting. It’s safe to say a lot he was confused about was answered by Spica’s explanation. Why you doze off so much, and why your pencils all have those large grips… And the times you’d just dropped something… He brought up as much during the meeting as he found it concerning that you hadn’t told him, him!.. First... Spica was the most reasonable, he supposed, but you two were close!... Right? He’d work with you on assignments all the time! And share notes… And hangout! (totally didn’t say he wasn’t looking to make friends on day 1)

Pollux is a lil jelly that you didn’t tell him first- he pouts about it.

He was a little pouty around you after that but stopped trying to push you to keep up, or chewing you out over dozing off… Pollux slowed down to your pace whenever he realized he’d been walking at too quick a pace for you. He would constantly glance over his shoulder to make sure you were still there.

He MiGhT try to loop his arm around yours, or just blush a little thinking about it. Maybe if you offered up the idea first he’d go for it.

Alpheratz & Sirius missed the meeting… But Vega didn’t?! Maybe it’s that pathfinding magic, maybe it brought him there? Pollux eyed him up and down, sus. 

Will chew anyone out if they harass or bother you at any point about your disability, yap yap BITE!!

The whole hair play routine you two had started kept up, though he’d offer to help you in the morning if that’s okay, totally understandable if you didn’t want someone in your dorm, but it's him so… It’d be ok, right? Just don’t let anyone else in, they might be bad people.

When he and Arcturus showed up at your dorm, they’d be surprised but they are both besties so they help you out together and sometimes you all go out to breakfast at a cafe as a group <3 Sometimes Vega, Alpheratz, Spica, or Sirius might join if they happen to stop by around the same time, or one of them may try to drag you off for themself…

Alpheratz

Before finding out

Alpheratz thought it was a bit weird that you napped nearly as much as him… More than himself sometimes but never questioned it. It was nice having a nap buddy, someone who didn’t nag him for sleeping so often.

After a while he began to expect you to show up at specific nap locations, he’d bring a spare neck pillow just in case you needed one. And a spare blanket.

Sometimes he’d catch you rubbing at your knees or ankles as if they hurt but when he’d as if something happened you’d say you were just a little tired.

When you would yawn constantly throughout the day despite having napped alongside him he suspected something may be wrong, occasionally checking your health with his magic but not totally understanding what he saw. Alpheratz began to look into possibilities while you napped in the library with him.

He never really kept his appearance up so when you looked messy it didn’t really phase him, though he’d ask teasingly if your messy hair was some sort of new trend.

Finding out

Slept through the meeting assuming it’d be something unimportant- immediately regretted it after Pollux filled him in after he asked you about your mobility aid while the three of you were out at a sweets shop. Alpheratz had been downright staring at your forearm crutches the entire way there, with a very concerned expression.

Pollux scolds Alpheratz- they bicker a little. It’s cute. Then Alpheratz shoves some gummy worms into Pollux’s mouth to shut him up. Pollux stares Alpheratz down, crossing his arms, frowning, and furrowing his brow as he slowly chews the gummy worms.

After finding out

Now he knows what’s wrong and has a better grasp of just what his magic was showing him when he checked up on you.

From then on when you’d nap together Alpheratz made it a habit to check your physical health status using his magic, just to make sure you were ok. Sometimes he would check in to make sure you took your medication, knowing how forgetful you can be.

When he could, Alpheratz would join you, Arcturus, and Pollux for lunch, to spend time with you and make sure you took your meds.

Sometimes, if you seemed more tired than usual or if he saw you over-exerting yourself he’d just pick you up and take you to a comfy spot to nap. After the first few times, you weren’t so surprised. But the first time… You nearly kicked him between the legs and punched his face- in your defense, you didn’t know it was him, AND like wtf- you both laughed it off.

Both of you worked together to make a little “club room” in the back of the library, you both deemed it the Nap Club Tent. It was a sizeable tent- (you guess the only reason the school allowed you to get away with this was because Alpheratz’s grandfather wanted Alpheratz to warm up to him) inside the tent were plenty of blankets, pillows, and a well-padded floor. Some plushies too, those were purely your touch at first, then Alpheratz added some that he thought you’d like.

Sometimes Alpheratz would offer to help you get ready for the day, a slight blush on his cheeks, then he would quickly offer to hire someone else to help care for you if you wanted. 

When you’d go out as a group with Arcturus and Pollux for breakfast he would sometimes join, offering to pay for you and the others though sometimes he’d get up extra early just to take you out by himself.

Arcturus

Before finding out

Arcky found it odd that you would yawn so often, and how you seemed to occasionally limp, but if he pointed it out you’d brush it off and adjust your posture and how you walked. He’d frown, he wasn't sure what was going on but how you acted gave him a bad feeling.

Sometimes when you looked incredibly drowsy while standing he would ask if you needed to sit down with furrowed brows, just what weren’t you telling him? 

When he would ask if something was wrong you’d change the topic with ease, Arcturus couldn’t remember what he’d asked after talking about some other random thing.

He had asked Spica if he noticed it as well… Which led Spica to ask you which kicked off the conversation.

Began occasionally stopping by your dorm in the mornings if he was free after seeing how messy and tired you looked most days, offering to help you prepare for the day. He helped when he could though he would often ask you why you looked so tired.

Finding out

Spica explains the situation to him first, being the only other Fili Pferer & Spica’s most trusted confidant. Arcturus was a little worried and sad that you hadn’t told him personally but understood it was probably difficult to talk about. Still pouted a little. But only a little!

After finding out

He helped to explain your disability to Vega and Pollux with Spica.

Later he ran into Sirius… After being chased by that big black dog!! Scary!! He updated Sirius on the recent meeting, assuming he’d just been too busy with missions to show up! Why else would his friend miss the meeting, he must’ve had a good reason! Though Arcky didn’t push Sirius to tell him why he’d missed the meeting.

Arcturus would constantly check up on you whenever he could. (when random Fili Pfere sorcerers weren’t dragging him around) Sometimes he’d go overboard and continue to ask you what he could do to help till you told him you were alright, only then would he stop and sigh in relief. 

He likes to offer to make food for you, get you a drink, or sometimes he will just leave a snack with a cute little note wishing you well if he finds you napping. (with a little smiley face)

Will also cover you with a blanket and place a pillow beneath your head VERY CAREFULLY if you don’t already have a blanket and/or pillow.

Might gaze at you for a while if you doze off while hanging out with him before sputtering if you ask him why he was staring.

Began to make it a point to stop by your dorm in the morning to help you prepare for the day whenever he was free, knowing that sometimes just keeping up with your hair and skin care was difficult. Then he would walk with you to the cafeteria for breakfast.

Loves having breakfast with you and Pollux, he wishes the others would join you all more often!! Super excited and happy when everyone or almost everyone shows up!!

Vega

Before finding out

Vega arrived at the meeting right on time to Spica, Pollux, and Arcturus’s surprise. He felt that he should be there, for this particular meeting.

It was plain to see that you weren’t getting enough sleep, the bags under your eyes were telling and the yawning at 9 a.m.! Your symptoms stressed Vega out quite a bit to the point he would constantly be on you about getting plenty of sleep. 

Might force you to go back to bed if you doze off during breakfast.

After Spica’s explanation at the meeting

Vega is incredibly worried about you. However, the way he shows this feels more like a nagging older sibling. Sometimes he would give you harsh lectures when you push yourself a little too far.

One time he offered to carry you when you felt too tired to walk, your knees hurting, but when he tried- he apologized so many times after you both fell. His cheeks were utterly red when he looked up at you, atop him, before you got up. From then on, when he was with you he made sure no one blocked your path. 

“ MAKE WAY SUMMONER IS TIRED “

If you ever decided to bring up that one time he tried to carry you he’d just DIE.

Constantly offers to carry anything he can for you just to take some of the weight off your shoulders. He will do whatever he can to help.

Grumpy if he can’t have breakfast with you by himself. Might try to drag you away, if only he could. Will not respond to anyone unless the topic is you. Or if he is talking to you.

Sirius

Before finding out

Sirius didn’t say much, other than teasing you over just what could be keeping you up to make you that tired. “Were you thinking of me last night Summoner~? I’m so flattered~”

Sometimes he would drag you about with him on a random mission or just more fun which hurt your joints a LOT, when you would tell him you needed to slow down and rest he would tell you to keep pushing forward if you ever want to build your endurance. Not giving what you said or your actions a second thought as he brushed you off.

It certainly stung each time he’d brush you off so you began to give him the cold shoulder if he tried to drag you along one of his schemes.

After Arcturus’s explanation

Spica didn’t specify what the meeting was about beforehand so he just skipped it. Or maybe he would’ve anyway? He’s busy, but with what? O-o sus.

When Arcturus showed up, with the black dog playfully giving chase, he was told what the meeting was about. Though he brushed Arcturus off at first. But when Arcturus mentioned that it was about you, Sirius listened.

How’d he not notice sooner? When thinking back, it seemed quite obvious…

Your pained expression to the sheer amount of times you dozed off… You even told him you needed a break so many times and he just brushed you off… He swore at himself for not thinking more about your health. Adding to the list of things he loathes about himself.

After finding out

Sirius was noticeably more careful around you, not yanking you about or pushing you to keep up with him. Instead, he would pull you into little hidden nooks to hide or teleport away with you in his arms, to hide from the other Sorcerers when he blew something up again.

Slowly you warmed up to him after he began to actually listen to you, but you were always at least a little wary of his intent.

To make up for his carelessness he spoiled you as much as you would let him for a good month, he swore to get you anything if you’d forgive him but you just wanted him to understand and that he did. And still got you things he knew you liked.

If you felt too tired to apply makeup(if you wear that), nail polish, clean your face, and or fix your hair in the morning he’d be there to help, offering to do so when you looked worse for wear and insisting that you call him whenever if you need help getting ready for the day ahead at any time! He would be there, anything for his Summoner.

Sirius also just loved to get to do your hair and nails, and help you choose out a cute outfit for the day! Totally didn’t attempt to peek at you changing like a perv. Denies it after he was caught. Doesn’t try again, but teases you, asking if you’d give him a show.

Beats Alpheratz at getting up early just to take you out to breakfast first, will tease him about it if Alpheratz asks where you’ve been.

Sirius ends up taking you to breakfast quite often when he isn’t out on a mission, sitting beside you with his hand on yours.

TSAMS Ships I Like and Why

These are just my personal views about TSAMS ships that I like, and why I like them. I would like to preface that I don’t think any of these will be canon, I just personally like the ship dynamics. Also, they are in no particular order.

(List under cut)

1.) Monty/Earth/Eclipse

Vee-polyamory. Earth would be the hinge, and Earth and Eclipse have a queerplatonic relationship. It is a very big comfort ship for me. I do feel like Monty and Eclipse could be friend if they got over their issues, with each other and themselves. Their dynamic is basically the scary dog privileges trend. It may never be canon, but it’s currently my favorite.

2.) Lunar/Gemini

Honestly, I do genuinely think it could work out. Everything went wrong in canon around the time they died to get together, but this is fanon so I say it works. Another vee poly style relationship with Lunar as the hinge. It been shown a decent amount that Lunar does work well with both Castor and Pollux, and they all have similar vibes. Lunar is able to calm down and just talk with Castor about things, and can also match Pollux’s really high energy. They may have a rough time communicating with each other, but I think if they worked on that it would be a really cute relationship.

3.) Solar/Ruin

Yes, this is a tragic romance, but that is literally the whole reason I like it. Listen, these two are both sassy mfers, and would just play off each other really well. They’re the kind of couple to engage in parallel play all the time just because they like being near one another. They also just have a lot in common about coming from a dying world and being pretty hated by everyone in their respective dimensions. Ruin knowing what he was doing was going to end up killing Solar is devastating. It’s an interesting couple in the fact that is a doomed romance from the start, and Ruin knows that.

4.) Sun/Foxy

Someone I follow mentioned KidsCove as being a queerplatonic relationships and it’s changed my whole perspective on this ship. Yes. 100%. I love the idea of this. I think the whole reason Kids isn’t canonical (in universe) is that the characters seems to have a very specific views on what relationships are and how they’re supposed to look. I think if someone explained to them that you don’t have to be restricted to those things, they might be more open to the idea. Plus, like, Sun does a pretty good job handling FC, and I feel like Foxy would enjoy having someone around who can help and doesn’t complain about his child being too much. (Sadly, TSAMS has made it pretty clear that, canonically, Sun and Foxy both seem to be straight.)

5.) Canon/OC or Self Insert

Any sort of OC or Self Shipping is great, I love seeing that content. As long as it’s not Moon or the children characters, we’re chill. I myself have an Eclipse/Self Insert AU and have been low key cooking up something for a Sun/OC. Do whatever, cringe culture is dead.

[Sans x Female!Reader]

25: Tickle His Jiggling Bone

♪────✿⁠(⁠✧◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕✧⁠)✿⁠────♪

Putting the last item on the shelf, you sigh in satisfaction while folding up the cardboard box. You’re not often the one who has to stock up the shelves, but Pollux, your boss(?), seemed really down and slumpy today, so you took it upon yourself to help him out.

You didn’t know this about him, but his body is, apparently, not very solid and corporeal. He can morph his body to whatever shape he wants, which explains his humanoid features first since he has seen them in human storybooks.

As of right now, his clothes had piled onto the floor while his body was a black blob on the counter. He would manifest a little baby hand to scan the customer's items, bag them, and take their gold. His face was just 2 white dots for eyes that occasionally blinked so cutely.

Yeah, you don’t know. He seems a little sad. You want to ask him what’s wrong, but it’s been surprisingly busy so you haven’t had the time.

You stack the folded cardboard boxes behind the aisle flush against the wall, taking a mental note to throw those out later. There’s a chime at the door, signaling another customer coming in. You look to see who it is, smiling because she’s actually a regular here.

It was one of the bunny monsters named Callimare (no, not the same bunnies from Snowdin), she was really sweet and giggly, and you two became fast friends. She is a white bunny who dresses very femininely and is the embodiment of “girl,” you don’t know how else to describe her. Her name also sounds familiar to something else, but you can’t quite put your finger on it. She’s so little, even by monster standards, barely reaching up to your waist.

[And that is saying something, considering how short YOU are. / Though you are rather tall, it doesn’t help her out when every other monster is taller than her still. / You think you’re pretty average in height, but it still doesn’t help out the poor bunny monster in comparison.]

Callimare smiles widely and bounces towards you, smelling of pleasant vanilla flowers and sugar.

Ugh, what a cutie.

“Oh, good afternoon, [Y/n],” She greets softly, making you feel loved, “I see Mr. Geminorum is feeling down again. What happened this time?”

…Geminorum? Like Gemini? Like the Gemini constellation? Ahh, Undertale is so clever with naming.

“This is normal behavior for him, then?” You ask her, peeking a glance at the blob.

“Hmm, I suppose it is. His grandmama must’ve given him an earful again, that’s usually what gets him so down,” Callimare gestures for you to bend over so she can whisper closely, “You didn’t hear it from me, but she is the super strict type! Even though the store has been better under Mr. Geminorum’s care, she treats him badly because she still sees the store like it’s her territory…!”

Oh dang. You were under the impression that the old lady who ran the place was a sweet lady since Red Bird gave you a good impression of her. Maybe it’s only towards Pollux? if so, then that’s just sad. That man is so sweet and kind, always being considerate of your feelings and the customers. He’s gotten the hint already that you weren’t interested in him in that way, and he started treating you more normally and happily accepted your friendship.

The customers, new or regular, always treat him kindly too because of how nice Pollux is. To think he gets mistreated by his own family is sad and makes you bitter. You’re lucky that you were able to distance yourself from a toxic family when you were on the surface, but you know it’s not that easy for everyone else.

You frown while looking at the blob that is Pollux, “Poor guy… Maybe we should take him out somewhere after our shift to cheer him up…”

Callimare beams with a smile, “Yes, that’s a wonderful idea! Maybe we can hit uptown Snowdin and go to Grillby’s!”

Oh, boy. It’s not like you want to risk going anywhere else, so you’ll just deal with it. It IS Monday too, so there won’t be a lot of people there… hopefully.

“Yeah, that sounds great. And hey,” You grin mischievously and poke her forehead, “We should invite Snowmill, too. You guys can totally bond and get closer.”

Madly, magically, the bunny blushed pink and it showed through her white fur. Her paws hide her face as she shakes her head.

“H-He and I… He and I are just… friends…”

You deadpan, “Girl, be so fucking for real.”

“So blunt…!”

“You two are so clearly into each other, and from what I know, it’s mutual and really healthy,” You raise an eyebrow, “I don’t understand why you’re wasting time pretending it’s not real.”

She pouts slightly and lowers her hands, fiddling with her pink dress, “Well… it’s… scary. What if we’re better as friends than we would be as a couple? You’ve heard of that, yes? People who are great as friends, but terrible as partners for each other.”

You do understand that, actually. You can’t say you’ve personally experienced it, but you can still understand what she means. You’ve had a few friends before who were great friends, but were a terrible friend to you.

In another case, your adoptive mother.

She was a great friend to you but was a terrible mother.

But… You wouldn’t give up the experience of knowing her for the world. Maybe you would’ve been better for it, but it also taught you a lot, good and bad.

“I get that. I really do. I just…” You shake your head, patting her head, “Are you more content to just staying friends never knowing if it would’ve been worth it? Even if–IF it doesn’t turn out great in the end, does it mean it’s not worth it at all?”

Callimare looks down at her feet, thinking over what you said with reverence. Fortunately (or unfortunately) for her, the bell chimes again with a new customer coming in. You don’t even have to check who it is to know. If Callimare is here, then so is the second regular.

A dog-type monster with red and grey coloring walks in like he owns the place. He was the embodiment of a skater boy, which you think is perfect for the fact that Callimare is so ballerina-coded. This cliche shit just writes itself, you swear. He was really quiet, but not with Callimare. You think in another life, they would’ve been so Mitsuri and Obanai coded, you love them so much. They’re so obviously in love.

You move away when the dog monster makes his way towards the bunny monster, keeping your senses keen to listen in to their conversations. You walk to the counter and stand in front of Pollux.

Poor baby,

You lean over and cross your arms on the counter, resting your cheek against your arms as you smile at the smokey blob.

“Hey there, champ,” You grin, “How’re you feeling?”

“Mmh…”

“Yeah, I know. You free after we close? Callimare and I are planning to go to Grillby’s to hang out,” You look back at her and her boy toy, “She might invite Snowmill, too. You up for it?”

His little dot eyes blink up at you. He’s speaking without a visible mouth, but you’ve gotten used to magic being the explanation for everything.

“That’s so nice of you… Wish I could, but I have to do inventory tonight,” He sighs, his blob form slumping even further, “Sorry… Wish I-”

“-Don’t apologize, Pollux. We can always go tomorrow, or another day, right? We don’t have to hang out only on my workdays,” You huff with irritation, “If Marcine was here, we wouldn’t have to worry so much about inventory. You weren’t kidding when you said she wasn’t reliable.”

He chuckles softly, “Yeah, I think she’s avoiding you.”

Dang.

“Oh, well. I don’t really care. You’re great enough, you know?”

His weird blush shows up again, “Wednesday… We can all hang out on Wednesday, right?”

You nod eagerly, “Yeah, Wednesday! it’s my day off, so it’ll be perfect.”

“Hey… Can you turn around for a sec?”

You raise an eyebrow, doing as he says, “Uh… sure?”

In doing so, you get a good view of Snowmill talking with Callimare. Her fluffy cheeks were dark red as she nervously played with the hem of her dress. Snowmill is like a nonchalant dreadhead or something because he has a stone-cold expression. Though his hands were behind his back, they were slightly shaking so maybe he was just as nervous as her.

How cute, you want that for you.

Pollux clears his throat, signaling you to turn around. Lo and behold, your precious Pollux was back to his humanoid form, fitting properly into his clothes with that awkward smile on his face.

“Sor–Erm, I know I wasn’t myself just now, but I’m-I’m good now.” He clears his throat and jerks his head towards Callimare and Snowmill, “Those two will be a while like always, so we can clean up a little.”

“Thanks, boss!”

His blush ten-folds, “You don’t have to keep calling me that…!”

────

Since Pollux was doing inventory tonight, you didn’t have to help close for tonight. To your surprise, Sans was waiting for you right outside, leaning by a tree nearby with his eyes closed. You wonder if he’s actually catching a few Z’s or if he’s only resting his eyes.

You clear your throat, your second suspicious being correct since he doesn’t look surprised at your arrival. He pushes himself off the tree and winks.

“you look like you’re in a good mood,” He comments in a soft tone.

You shrug your shoulders, “I guess I am. I finally got plans with my work friends, so now you can’t call me a loner anymore, bone boy.”

“wow, that is cause for a celebration. but also so sad for me,” Sans puts a hand to his forehead like he’s a Victorian man who just caught sight of a maiden’s ankle, “now i’m the loner, we can’t be loners together anymore.”

You roll your eyes, “Anywayyy, you never come here after I get off work, is everything okay? Did something happen?”

The skeleton puts his hands in his pockets, shifting his weight to one leg, “and here i was trying to keep it light and casual.”

“Much appreciated, but you should know by now that I’m a little smarter than that,” You try to soften your expression despite your growing anxiety, “Come on, Sans. We can be honest with each other, right? You can tell me what’s wrong.”

He nods, suddenly his smile strained and anxious. Sans has always been smiling around you, though sometimes it’s less forced, and sometimes it’s barely there, but it never goes away. It makes it hard to discern his expression (especially because he’s not a fucking cartoon skeleton, it still freaks you out) or read him properly, but his strange eye sockets give him away each time.

“Hey, if you’re not ready to tell me-”

“-no, no that’s not it…” He sighs heavily, though you can’t see his breath in the cold for obvious reasons, “there’s something i needa show you, it’s related to my old man. you haven’t had any other dreams about him, right?”

Wait, does he mean Gaster? So he found some other lead about him? You know Sans told you he’d look into it, but you didn’t think he’d find something so soon.

“No, I haven’t had any other dreams about him, none that I remember anyway,” You’re a little nervous and excited if you’re honest, “You need to show me something then? Lead the way, Sans.”

“right, well… it’s in my workshop, so let’s get going.”

HIS WORKSHIP?? THE WORKSHOP?! Oh fuck, so it’s serious serious?!

“Are we not gonna take a shortcut?”

“uhh, nah, i–wanna stall as long as possible.”

…Yeah, okay, fair enough.

“Wanna hear about my day, then?” You ask him, “Callimare and Snowmill were flirting again today, but you won’t believe what happened to poor Pollux.”

“isn’t that the guy who likes you?”

“I think he’s gotten over his crush by now, bone boy. But yes, that’s who I’m talking about. You know that twink form he has going on? Apparently, it’s not even his real form! He can manipulate it to whatever he wants!”

You’re so good at talking about nothing for a long time, it’s a great talent you had to learn to be perceived as normal by society. You want to think you helped calm the atmosphere with your yapping as you two made it back to uptown Snowdin. It’s not that late when you get off work, though it doesn’t matter since you can’t tell time due to it always looking bright outside.

Still, the monsters can tell a lot better than you, you suppose that’s why there aren’t many out and about. It IS a Monday, after all, hating Mondays is still a universal thing even in the Underground.

“Should we have dinner first so Papyrus isn’t staring out of his window longingly, wondering when his family will return from the war?” You ask as you two near his house.

“that’s an oddly specific scenario, but yeah, good idea. what i have to tell you… we’re gonna both need time to process.” He answers ominously because he understands nothing about keeping it chill all of a sudden.

“You’re so emo.”

“hey.”

“But fine, we can wait until after dinner. What is your brother making tonight?”

“uhh… i think he called it a spaghetti taco?”

No fucking way…

————

You get dressed into something more comfortable by the time Sans has put Papyrus to bed. You’re starting to see a trend here with doing important things after Papyrus’ bedtime. You feel a little bad about it, you don’t want to treat him like he’s actually an incompetent child. That’s one of the things you never liked Sans doing in the game, you don’t want to start making it a habit too.

“hey,” Sans, the man of the hour, appears suddenly at the bottom of the staircase, “you ready?”

“Ready as I’ll ever be. Does your brother know we’re stepping out?”

“no, but it’s not important if he does. ‘sides, my workshop is right around the corner.”

You squint at him. You know what he did. “Why do I feel like you’re setting me up for a pun again?”

“hehe, why don’t you come with me and see?”

Suspicious ass laugh–the fuck he think he is?

You follow after Sans, letting him lead you even though you know where the workshop is. You close the door quietly behind yourself, following him to behind the house. You made sure to sigh heavily to let Sans know you were not amused with his pre-emptive pun from earlier.

The door looked worn out and lightly covered in snow. There’s a recent track in the snow of the door being opened, and the doorknob was clean, too. To your surprise, Sans doesn’t pull out a key to unlock it, probably because he knew you two would be back here soon anyway. He opens the door for you and gestures for you to go in first, so you do.

The light is dim when you go in, it was pretty clean and tidy- more than you were expecting anyway. The blueprints were still on that counter, as well as the large, purple blanket draped over that suspicious structure.

You could be wrong, but you don’t remember being two beanbags in this room. They’re close to the broken machine, sitting across from each other. Could it be that Sans added them? Either way, you take a seat on the dark blue one because the other one is bright pink and you think it’ll be funny to see Sans sit in it.

Speaking of, he closes the door behind himself and locks it, making you nervous. You wait for him to sit down, the pink beanbag being on the side of the room close to the counter with blueprints. Though, he gets something from one of the drawers before he sits. Looks like a notebook-

“so…” He sinks into the beanbag, “how’s the weather?”

…Heh?

“I mean, it’s alright. Same as usual, I think,” You smile, “Uhm, does small talk help you calm down?”

“no, not really. but… throw me a bone here, this is not… this isn’t the easiest thing to talk about, y’know?” Sans answers, looking at the covered machine, “i don’t even know where to start…”

You sit up the best you can, “You said earlier that it was about Gaster, so we can start from there?”

“that’s–probably one of the last things we should talk about. i’ll just…  i guess i’ll just say it.”

Sans takes a deep breath and sits up as best as he can as well. He sets the notebook down on his lap and clasps his gloved hands on top of it. His smile is barely there as he’s struggling to maintain his facade.

Then, he pops the question.

“have you ever heard of alternate universes and timelines?”

[the-real-couchrat]

So I’ve been thinking more about the Geminus AU, Henry’s No Good Very Bad Terrible Horrible Day AU (HNGVBTHD AU) , and the Atlantica AU. Specifically their mindscapes and nightmares.

Geminus AU

I’m imagining Ford’s mindscape to be like a vast starscape, with floating structures like observatories, library shelves (that are definitely full of books that would make a human’s eyes melt out of their skull if they ever tried to read them) debris of failed experiments, ect. His nightmares (now called the Parliament) would be owls, and they would perch on the structures and fly between them very majestically. They have a tendency to resemble moths. (the nightmares were very inspired by @jacobsnicket’s Pollux design and commentary)

Henry’s No Good Very Bad Terrible Horrible Day AU

For Henry’s, I’m convinced that his mindscape would be a never-ending forest, made up of every kind of forest biome to have ever existed. The Menagerie (let me know if you have other name ideas for their group) would be massive in numbers, appearing as the animals that would inhabit the forests his mindscape imitates. There’s no order to what animals the dreams and nightmares take the form of, a dream could be a bear cub, and a nightmare could be a shrew. (Their numbers are so huge because of Henry’s whole “protector”thing in tau canon, with the woodsman and all. It might even get to the point where when a new nightmare or dream forms they go straight to him like instinct.) Alternatively it could just be a forest that you’d see in Oregon, with the nightmares as deer and cute little fawns for dreams. They would be called the Herd.

Atlantica AU

Pacifica’s mindscape would be a kelp forest, with her nightmares manifesting as spooky sea creatures, like sharks, Eels, Anglerfish, Giant squid, Lionfish, Stingrays, Moray eels, Goblin sharks, Vampire squids, stingrays, manta rays, and Jellyfish. (At first I chose a kelp forest because of how spooky and unsettling they are. but then I looked up pictures of kelp forests to refresh my memory, and it turns out that they’re quite pretty, and all my memories of them were from the Finding Dory movie.) The dreams would be cute fish or a baby version of the nightmare forms.

Titles

While making this post, I did a bit of research on what different groups of animals are called, so here’s a list I made for myself and anyone else who can’t remember all this stuff.

(Equivalence AU, Mabel’s pigs hogs ) “The Drove”

(Avarice AU, Stan’s dogs) “The Pack”

(Geminus AU, Ford’s owls) “The Parliament”

(Atlantica AU, Pacifica’s various sea creatures) “The Shoal”

(Henry’s No Good Very Bad Terrible Horrible Day AU, Henry’s animals) “The Menagerie”

(Henry’s No Good Very Bad Terrible Horrible Day AU, Henry’s deer) “The Herd”

@transcendence-au I would love to hear your thoughts on this!

(Also what is Henry’s demon alias? Is it still the woodsman? I thought like he was only called that because he lived in the woods. And what does he look like as a demon? I know he has antlers, and probably has hands dangling from them, but I feel like his full “Woodsman form” from TAU canon would be his super-saiyan form.)

Edit:

MABEL WOULD TOTALLY HAVE FLYING PIGS!!

THE NIGHTMARES WOYLD HAVE BAT WINGS AND THE DREAMS WOULD HAVE BIRD WINGS

Edit #2

I just remembered that Henry’s TAU alias is Sarva, so it’s probably that.

[kirchefuchs]

Ceres, I have been obsessing over a bunch of romance Stannarrator headcanons I made for your AU because hell yeah

ahem so here's my favorite headcanon I made :D

You know how Pollux is an Al turned human? You know how he's basically just a pile of sentient code?

What if — and hear me out on this one, I swear it gets good — what if he and Stanley got together before Pollux even gained sentience?

Think about it for a sec.

The Narrator — as in, the role, not the person — is generally coded to read through and follow the script. He is simply there for the benefit of the game — the Players.

But, in your AU, there are no Players. Stanley is his own person.

So Pollux is coded to benefit Stanley instead, but its main priority is the story. If the story has already fallen into place and/or there's nothing left to tell, then the code will automatically switch and take Stanley as the main priority (take The Zending Ending, The Skip Button Ending, and the Not Stanley Ending as examples).

So this also means that he's coded to follow through with Stanley's feelings. He's coded to make sure Stanley is happy — even through the means of a lie — since there is no scripted story to tell. There's no such thing as a Confession Ending after all, so Pollux's code just moves and takes Stanley as its main priority.

but

BUT

there's a but

You know how you stated somewhere that The Research Team's best guess to The Narrator's first instance of fake memories (yes I memorized the entire lore I just rlly love it ok) was his AI making up memories on the whim?

...Welllllll let's just say that they were mildly correct (in this headcanon), but they were not correct about something else;

The AI doesn't learn, it replicates what it's given.

It only copied the original and added something to make it make sense. That's it. It took what it could and only changed it by a small amount. The first instant of faux memories was just self-inserts of poorly written emotions, because during that time, The Team was still trying to make room in The Narrator for empathy (in my headcanon).

Now, it's been a whole year, and there are of course little to no changes towards the AI. It still copies from examples and obeys under command, but it now occasionally breaks out of it with the help of Stanley.

But the confession happens.

And now, the AI switches its main priority to Stanley — what can The Narrator do to please him? To appeal to his desires? What can be done and/or said in a foreign situation like this?

Of course, his code makes him "love" Stanley back.

Stanley knows that the love isn't genuine, but at this point, anything would work. Who wouldn't crave some sort of escape from the harsh reality of a scripted life?

So he decides to start treating The Narrator like a lover would, just for the sake of the experience.

He constantly compliments what he can, comments when/where he's allowed to, and — when The Narrator is given a physical form — starts showing him (aka, the AI) slow and steady ways of showing love and affection.

And Stanley doesn't realize this, but the AI isn't just replicating; it's learning.

Because the first time he held The Narrator's hand, The Narrator reacted to the touch and muttered about it feeling nice. The first time Stanley hugged him, The Narrator didn't copy and hug back, no, he took his time and tried to understand why the hug felt good.

The AI can't fill in the gaps on its own when the answer is already there.

So what does it do?

It learns.

It learns how to love.

Anywho it is nearly midnight where I am right now sooooo goodnight to you in my area :D

— 🅰️non || 05/26/2023

Ohhhh my gosh 🅰️non, this is insane I love it. This would make such a cool AU for my headcannon lore!! (Of course I have my own ideas of how they end up together, lol) But it's not too far off from how I kinda imagine how the whole fake memory thing happened in the Demo. His code really was just filling in gaps to make sense of his new feelings. Poor guy doesn't know how to emotion properly, lol.

But also this made me really wanna draw some little things like the hand holding and the hug.

Just the slow realization that "wait, do I actually truly love Stanley? Is that even possible?" He's figuring it out ♡

And imagine how awkward he might be when he's finally come to the realization that "Yes I do really truly love him more than anything, and I'm actually feeling this. And I want this so so badly, that I might cry."

He would be such a disaster, let's be honest.

This really would make such a fun fanfic, tbh. This is why I love your ideas so much. It makes me think of fun scenarios and wanna draw them ♡♡♡♡

[lepus-littlebear]

(Analysis?) Summoner(MC) returning to home-world

“We’ll help you return to your home world……or not?”

The ArTw boys and their views about sending Summoner back home analysis(?). It's more like a rant but here we go.

Disclaimer, i wrote this at 1 in the morning so i may have left out more things i got to say and i’ll probably add them later but have this for now-

SPOILER ALERT

·̩̩̥͙＊•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙˚　　˚•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙˚＊·̩̩̥͙

I’ll use Summoner’s canon official name here- “Lee Dam”/”Dam(i)”(first name) bc it’s convenient ✩

So as far as we've established, Lee Dam is from Mid-Eartheim or at least that’s what people around her conclude. Later in the story, they even suspect that Dami is not from another world at all.

But here, we’ll go with our main boys’ perspective.

When it comes to sending Lee Dam home, the boys seem to have separate opinions.

🐑Arcturus above all seems to be very keen and persistent in Dami returning back to her world. He’s the first one of the boys to promise her a safe return home and not only that, he’s the only one who keeps on insisting on this promise for the first few chapters of the story to the point where he’s the only sorcerer with a voice line in home screen who once again promises her to find her way back and asking her to trust him.

I, at first was like yeah Arcky being helpful lil bean like he is but is he really? That’s what I thought after progressing throughout the story. Arcky looks like one of the purest guy ever but later as we move on in main story, he seems somewhat shady. My theory is that he is hiding the fact that he knows or even better remembers something that others don’t.

Y’know the Void organization thing going on? I suspect Arcky of having something to do with The Void. But when there’s discussion of Void, he says that he’s been curious about it and has no idea what it is. Although I would like to believe him, I have this teeny tiny feeling he’s pretending OR he forgot and remembers only fragments of those memories related to Void.

In a library scene,  he clearly sighs and seems relieved after he says that info about Void is top secret.

Further on, when things are still tense and even Schedar orders that Dami should be guarded even more than before, the always over-worrying Arcky is careless and invites Dami over to grab snacks outside knowing full well he is supposed to be extra careful. And he doesn’t even sense that someone is following them at all? This seems far too careless even for someone as clumsy as Arcky.

Vega even reminds Arcky later on about this mistake and states the duo was being followed. That he should’ve consulted with others before doing anything. Vega requested for an urgent summon by Dami’s side and his voice in the call seems to be audibly restless hinting it was no small matter.

Maybe Arcky just absent-mindedly did that or maybe he didn’t.

I cannot be sure here but Arcky in my opinion seems to have a motive other than being simply helpful to Lee Dam find her way back. He’s more consistent about this matter than anyone, almost as if he thinks she needs to go back. She shouldn’t be here.

Again, i’m not sure but we’ll see how it plays out. But one thing I’m certain is that he doesn’t truly wish for Dami to get hurt or at least that’s what I like to believe. He cares for her genuinely.

♊Pollux is a confusing one for me. He seems kinda neutral on the matter. But my conclusion is that he doesn’t like the thought of Dami returning back. Despite saying “i don’t make friends easily” in their first meeting, Pollux actually is the one who initiates their friendship. Saving a seat for her, texting her lecture materials, helping her out, etc. He even grows protective of her later on and continuously suspects Sirius, his clan fellow when it comes to Dami.

But hey, nobody rlly trusts Sirius so understandable. And with this growing closeness, Pollux would rather not part with Lee Dam but i feel like if he’s told it’s for her safety & well-being, he would let her go for her good.(cue some crying and stubbornness)

🐨🐺Listen I may sound crazy but in this matter Alpheratz and Sirius are quite similar. In one side, there’s Alpheratz continuously suggesting Lee Dam to not get herself involved in all of this, and on another, we have Sirius always warning Dami to not see, respond, or hear to the entity appearing in her consciousness time and again. Although both have not clearly revealed their say on our summoner’s return to mid-eartheim, I feel that they think it’s better to leave and go back to her normal world. A world where she won’t have to worry about being targeted every 5 seconds.

Alpharetz indirectly expressing that he would rather she return to her world by always insisting Lee Dam to not tag along with the guides to their dangerous trips and his affection level going up when Dami chooses to stay behind.

Sirius closing her eyes and ears every time it feels like Dami is again in contact with the giant eye and the entity, and warning her to not come to the tower when she does. Him texting her that he prays she leaves before matters get worse.

Sirius is confusing, he involves her and initiates danger but still protects her and says he would rather like it if she isn’t included in all that chaos. BUT after reading floor 11, I have a feeling Alpheratz changed his mind a bit? It’s more like, she’s someone i’ve wished for years and years– since the previous timeline so I’m reluctant to lose her again, that’s why I’d rather give my all to keep her safe this time no matter what.

❄️Vega, oh Vega, my sweet lil snowball. I’ll say that he’s conflicted. There are many assumptions in my mind about him. It’ll be so freaking hard for him to let go of Dami, his childhood sweetheart who he waited an entire decade and more for. Will he let go of someone who he spent his lifetime waiting for? Hard to say but maybe yes. Vega is selfless and wants her to be safe above anything else.

He also says that he is sick of seeing Dami be involved with this world and its dangers that she doesn’t deserve. He might side with Alpheratz slightly. He doesn’t want to let go of her but at the same time, he would rather have her be happy than see her get hurt and lose her forever. Or even better, he leaves with her since they’re both from Mid-Eartheim. After all, Vega spent his entire lifetime awaiting one star and that's Lee Dam and only Lee Dam, no one else.

♍Have you noticed that Spica’s the only one who has never stated that he wishes Lee Dam to return and not be involved with Bound Arlyn’s crisis? Yes, some other guys haven’t either but have you noticed he’s rather opposite to wanting her to return? He advises Arcky to not keep false promises like sending her home. He’s also continuously shown to want Dami to join them when they plan to go on a field trip(visit) and actively invites her to potentially dangerous places.

He does not have any malicious intentions but instead, from what I see, I’m rather suggesting that Spica wants Dami to adapt to her new life completely and continue as a summoner. He’s always keen when it comes to discussing Lee Dam’s potential as a sorcerer and even asking her if she wants to become a constellation’s choice. Imo, Spica wants Dami to get better in her school activities and use her power for the betterment and protection of the world. HOWEVER remembering that sus lil conversation he shared with our local shady man who's trusted by no one in the banquet, i have doubts on Spica too. (basically, i doubt 3/6 of these men bc otoges have taught me better than to trust someone even if they are love interests)

To put in small words, let me categorise them-

“I want you to return back”

-Arcturus

“It’s better to go back”

-Alpheratz, Sirius, Vega(?)

“I don’t want you to but it can’t be helped”

-Pollux, Vega(?)

“Would you like to stay instead?”

-Spica

The following pics kinda summarise my thoughts(?)

anyways thanks if you read until here, i just wrote this for fun and none of these are facts but rather my silly little venting bc the plot is just too good.

Here's a bonus: our local shady war criminal as Florida man news headlines

he would do this.

I've read a couple of your posts about todays LAES episode, and I'm genuinely curious, what lead you to believe that Sun is suicidal? I'm not asking because I disagree, I'm asking because I'm frankly just a casual viewer, and want to know what I missed.

Sorry if this is a stupid question.

It's okay. It's not a stupid question. You can ask about anything. ^^

So Sun said in episode "Original Moon returns": "sometimes I wish I was dead".. and later added that he should stop thinking about it and he went to clean the Daycare to distract himself from these thoughts.. which heavily implies that Sun seriously thinks about dying - in the way that he thinks that would be better solution for his issues.. cause he added "Moon got reset and I have to deal with everything".. which again implies that this is serious and Sun thinks that death is a solution.. which heavily implies that he's suicidal...

Another thing is Sun's behaviour after that.. He decided to be conduit for star's power when he found out that there's a risk that person who will use star's power will most probably die.. which shows us Sun being suicidal more in action.. But Sun here is passively suicidal because he doesn't harm himself directly but he tries to find ways to be harmed/killed by outside circumstances like sacrificing himself for example...

Another time when Sun showed more visible signs that he's suicidal is when he told computer without hesitation to shoot him.. It was in "Sun and Moon vs Mimic" episode.. In this episode Mimic was pretending to be Sun and Moon didn't know who the real Sun is.. He came up with idea of threatening both of Sun's with computer shooting deathly laser at them.. to which real Sun told to computer to shoot him... Moon said then that he should check up on Sun because he was concerned by Sun's comment.. but then nothing happened... Moon never asked Sun about that...

Then there were a few hints in both lore and gaming episodes that Sun is suicidal like some odd comments in games: "it's good to be dead", "I'm trying to see if I'll crush when I jump off this", "there's nothing wrong with saying 'death'" (and he said that after he said this "if we don't do trendy things we'll die" which concerned Earth.. but not to the point that she would ask him more about it).. and also odd behaviour: he tried to drown himself in Minecraft game, he tried to crush his car in Fears to fathom game.. In lore episodes: he tried to crush his car twice, he jumped off the roof of high building without hesitation, he was eating food even though it hurts him when he eats human food, in "Ruin Monty Gator visits Daycare Attendant" episode Sun didn't care that Ruin Monty was choking him and that he could get killed by them.. In "Save Pollux or Castor in Minecraft" episode Sun went through a lava knowing very well that it'll kill him.. Also many times it seemed that Sun just let others beat him to death in games - he wasn't protecting himself and blocking any attacks (he also let Earth kill him in "Sun and Earth trapped in 2D Minecraft" episode)...

Another thing is that Sun seems more distant from his family.. he was absent in both episodes "Earth is tiny" and "Lunar is giant" despite the rest of the family being shown in both of these episodes.. In "Day in a life of Solar" episode and "Earth is trapped as a toy" episode no one knew where Sun is and what he's doing.. He wasn't picking up the phone calls..

In "Day in the life of Monty Gator" Sun's voice sounded like if his throat was hurt.. He told Monty it's because of screaming.. But it never happened before despite Sun screaming almost daily.. Most probably he harmed his throat.. we don't know how though.. Monty seemed concerned about Sun in that episode but nothing came out of that...

Another thing is that Sun seems to be not aware of what is happening around him.. He doesn't know what day it is (he forgot about Christmas and didn't buy anything for his family), he has poor sleep schedule - in "Moon is threatened by Gemini" episode it seemed that Sun dozed off.. Also Sun seems to sleep for short amount of time at random moments..

Another thing is that the only way of coping for Sun is either excessive cleaning or watching YT or playing games.. which is only good for awhile but it's not a solution to Sun's problems.. You can't deal with your issues by trying to escape them..

Another thing is that Sun is constantly lying that he's fine.. He tries to immediately redirect any conversation regarding his mental issues to other topics i.e. today's laes episode in which Sun only focus on external problems like Eclipse and Bloodmoon even though during therapy he should focus more on what's happening in his mind and on his own feelings...

Also the fact that Sun was very adamant about learning Earth and Moon how to drive - the only thing he feels that he's good at beside cleaning - seems like a way for Sun to pass his own knowledge which may imply that someone is ready to end their own life..

These are things that I remembered.. I hope that this answer satisfy you, anon 🙇‍♀️

Ofc you can ask more questions if you want to ^^
