Dates for marriage with women but absolutely has gotten drunk and begged to be used by every man in the bar as a glory hole.
So many crushes. So. Many. Goddamn. Crushes. On. So. Many. Men
pansexual with a heavy preference for men.

This man is the most demiromantic bisexual man to ever exist.
you gotta be FWB first for him to even consider you a canidate for romance
Wouldn't punch a transphobe, but would just lean into their ear and whisper where they live.
doesn't celebrate pride, but doesn't think less of people who do.
doesn't have any pride wear except a bisexual handkerchief an ex got him like, seven years ago.

I ACTUALLY NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT LISTING OUT ANY HCS BEFORE, i think most of my hcs are super heavily influenced by the fandom and kinddaa basic (i picked demo as my fav and never thought much about the others... ) butt here is a little list anyway!
Demoman: demi romantic Pansexual and genderqueer who uses all pronouns (^.^) ((he is My fav so i am somewhat projecting super hard))
Soldier: demisexual Bi fella (somewhere in the aro spectrum too :3)
Scout: somewhere between bi and pan tbh i think he cares but not really
Engineer: gay transman for the win (also okay with any pronous)
Pyro: transmasc nonbinary lesbian ,,,, (heavy projectinf here)
Spy: genderfluid pansexual who is ...... Cupiromantic... (vine boom) (i think he id a romantic guy but being in a romantic relationship? Errrrrrrrrrrrrrr) (only she/he pronouns btw)
Heavy: demiromantic and demisexual bi!!!!
Medic: gay he/they me thinks
Sniper: also gay maybe aroace? I dont think about him often sorry
Also extra miss pauling: transfem asexual lesbian god bless
#averitext#i will probably change this sometime#but anywayyy here you goes#gayy peiple jumoscare#the projecting is unreal

hello Emmet. would you please enlighten us with some Iris lore (I'm very intrigued by him)
*btw I forgot if iris goes by any or specified pronouns (I just used the ones you referred iris with last time) but I still wanna make sure I'm using the correct pronouns for iris and maybe the rest of the blu mercs ^_^
(yes its any pronouns for iris :)
i actually talked abt iris in another ask but im gonna do it again. uhm he is a 50 something ipad baby. joking. but he is 50 something and not social at all he seems to hold grudges against anyone on his team for minor annoyances. she has the worst job (spy) of them all and also is treated the worst by RED team. terrible fear of RED pyro to the point of getting scared by any sort of mask. imprisoned by RED for alteast a month and tortured or experimented with. by none other than medic of course (and engineer.) and when she dies at RED base and respawns at BLU base nobody seems to give a shit. everybody either forgot about it or just thought iris left on her own volition. yeah daisy was concerned but the common reaction is "oh, youre back". and that sticks in her mind. not even just RED teams torture but the complete lack of concern. she starts to hate practically any person she has and hasnt ever met, regardless of how they act towards her. no longer sleeps in their bedroom much, the complete darkness and lack of noise unnerves them. sleeps on the couch in front of the tv because its a small source of light and noise. maybe has weird parasocial relationships with people on tv. rarely talks except when they want to insult someone. constantly lets their neck hang because they cant be bothered to look into peoples faces, much less their eyes. at any moment they just want to go back to the couch and sleep as long as they possibly can instead of bothering with whatever it is theyre doing at the moment.
um. kind of not much else to him. uhmmm. i liek to think about iris snapping at someone because he never shows emotion unless to be angry at someone. also imagine him being kicked off BLU or leaving and murdering random people that slightly annoy him because he has no fear or concept of death and the permanence of death 🫶

Favorite OC? Can see please??
This is my valve and rtvs blog BUT i will disregard that just this once because I like talking about my OCs
I dont have a Favorite so ill just tell u about some of em :]
STARTING W MY VALVE OCS bc I do care a LITTLE about consistency
Sooo heres my pyrosona :]
Hes puppy! With their cute paw boots and stitched on tail and trapper hat to look like ears
They use the flare gun almost exclusively (when hes not spy-checking) and are more likely to just sit in a corner taking potshots at the other team. Heres a little paint-over I did of em!
Next up isss Prototype Unit #1230 ! Orrr yellowguard
Featuring their patrol partner :]
This guy spawned out of a gmod rp i did with a couple of friends- hes a prototype Nova Prospekt soldier designed to work in pairs, they have a kind of good cop bad cop thing goin on- rp wise. As far as their actual lore outside of rp shenanigans theyre interrogators first and foremost. Not so much that they were designed with that in mind moreso that thats just something theyre really good at. I love these two dearly but yellow is my guy :] red is played by my friend
Aaaand finally here’s Paradise Sunrise !
One of my most beloved mlp ocs- his ref is outdated because as much as I love him I like never draw him anymore. Her pronouns are now he/she because sometimes your oc transes their gender before you even know abt it.
The version of her with armor is from an au me and her partner’s owner made up. There’s over 100 aus. Genuinely
He likes baking, competitive flying, and being a general nuisance. Nobody likes him except his husband who has awful taste. Paradise sucks so bad and i love him dearly.
Uhh Paradise has 3 kids, whether theyre genetically related to her or adopted depends entirely on the au.
Her fur is soft as fuck btw. She is exceptionally fluffy and if she’s drawn without excessive fluff its wrong or the au is especially dire
Honorable mention: literally any character I furrify. Theyre not Technically OCs, but they’re basically OCs. Furry iz, furry hl, furry hlvrai, furry ez, all my ocs p much. Furry Gordon being transfem isnt because shes my oc tho its just because my headcanons are based and valve should hire me to write the next halflife game.

lgbtqia+ tf2 stuff lol
my hc for the tf2 mercs + ms. pauling
Btw this is all my opinion and you don't have to agree. pls do not start internet conflict over my silly goofy little tf2 post 💀🙏
Pyro - any pronouns + unknown/unlabeled. They kinda act like a little kid so I don't really think they would even understand or really care about sexuality and gender identity, especially their own.
Engi - He/Him Straight(?) ally. He's questioned it before definitely and at a time thought he was pan, now he's just a very comfortable ally.
Spy - He/Him + PAN MAN. Has slept with every person under the gender spectrum umbrella and will do it again. He will use any pronouns if he is in disguise but mainly uses He/Him bc he's an old french greasy skrunk.
Heavy - He/Him + Demi Gay. I mean. C'mon, we can all admit Medic is basically his husband at this point. Also, growing up in isolation made him less exposed to the concept of the gender spectrum, he doesn't care though. He accepts everyone.
Sniper - He/They/It + Aro/Ace or possibly Demi Pan. He doesn't dwell on himself very much, since they doesn't interact with other people very often, he doesn't think it's necessary, it tells people they're unlabeled but he keeps it to themself what it really identifies with.
Scout - He/Him + Bi with a preference for women/fem people. He will go to the ends of the earth to convince people he's straight, but can, will, and has beat someone with a bat if they are homophobic or transphobic in his presence.
Soldier - He/Him + Straight. He has a fiancé in the comics I think. She's cool. He's also a little too stupi dum dum to grasp sexuality and gender. He doesn't care, he'd rather talk about AMERICA 🦅💪
Demo - He/Him/Any + Pan. He hasn't found "the one" yet, but when he does, he'll know by their heart, not their body. He doesn't really care about gender, call him whatever you want.
Medic - He/It + Gay. He will steal your skeleton and implant a baboon uterus in you, does it really matter what this bbg does with it's husband?
Ms. Pauling - She/They + LESBIAN. I love her and she deserves a tall gf to pick her up for cuddles <333 or a small fairy gf that bakes her bread + makes her lunches for work.

Welcome to my blog
I feel like I should have some proper introduction if someone gazes upon my blog. Also if you are minor, do not interact. I occasionally like or reblog something that's not for your age.
I. About me
My name is Luna and my pronouns are they/them. I mainly uses Tumblr to reblog or post anything Detective Conan and Spy x Family related, fiction writing related, or anything I find interesting.
Feel free to do whatever you want (only liking is fine, reblogging without tag is fine, and rebloging with tag is fine, commenting and pointing out my mistake in your reblog is also fine too).
Occasionally I might just like or reblog without tags, sorry in advance if you don't feel like it.
As for now DMs and asks are closed, I am afraid.
My favorite character in Detective Conan is Hiromitsu Morofushi or Scotch.
II. How did I end up using this username?
My favorite song is Last Stardust by Aimer. There's a personal reason why. Btw, I used to enjoy Fate Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works but I didn't follow any fate series now. Also another fun fact, my degree now is related to this and I can't think of another username now.
III. Some shameless self promotion
I occasionally write one-shot, something where you can imagine that you are the female and the guy is -- well you can imagine whom the guy you want.
As for now, I only write male x female, but I am open with female x female, non-bi x non-bi (by using "you" and "them"), or any other possible pairings. All stories are tagged #lunanosutori. These are just for funsies. If any of #lunanosutori posts are erased, then you know I am using it on my own fiction writing.
PLEASE DON'T POST ANY OF MY WRITINGS IN TIKTOK.
(Well I know I won't be famous but just in case, please just in case)

Do You Get My Letters
✥ Pairing: Levi x fem!Reader, somewhat Reiner x fem!Reader
✥ Themes: Fluff, angst, sadness, big ass plot twist
✥ Warnings: Female bodied reader (she/her pronouns,) Pregnancy and birth (nothing gory.) Mentions of death, violence, and threats. Manipulation.
✥ Synopsis: You are carrying Reiner's baby when he betrays Paradis. Levi decides to step in.
✥ Word Count: 2.2k
(there is a part two up to this fic, but i've decided i'm going to rewrite the ending at some point.)
Anon's Request: Hi! I saw your requests are open so here I want to give my little scenario a try! 🕳🤸🏽♀️ I thought abt this last night, I’m currently rewatching AOT after 6 yrs and yet to finish season 4, so sorry if I’m wrong abt timelines/the plot? My request is the reader was with child with Reiner, but b4 reader told him, he betrayed and exposed his mission. Levi stepped in to help reader. And btw, I just finished watching ep 3 of season 4, so maybe Eren telling reiner abt his child and he regrets leaving the reader? And reiner jealous at the fact Levi is most likely considered his child’s father at that point. I can’t come up with an ending, so I’ll leave it up to you if you do take in my request. If this isn’t your type of writing I totally understand!
Note: This story is canon divergent. It is set in season 4, but in a universe where Reiner is not revealed as a traitor/the armored titan until a few months before season 4 takes place, as the reader was having relations with him until then and did not know his secret. I’m sorry if that change bothers you, I just wanted to write this as sort of its own story. This story contains season 4 spoilers! It also has nothing to do with the canon ending of AOT.
---
Dear Reiner,
I hope this letter somehow gets to you, I don’t quite know where to start.
In a perfect world, I would be so happy to tell you this. You’d be ecstatic too, I think. And before you try to second guess me: I’m sure by now, don’t worry.
I’m pregnant.
I guess we weren’t careful enough before you left. I feel like an idiot. And lost. But I’m not hopeless. I know myself, I can make it work somehow. With or without you.
I’m still in shock about you. How could someone so close hide so much? You’re a talented spy I suppose, a great asset to Marley. You made me trust you with my entire life. You made me love every false thing about you. And this is the rude awakening I get in return.
I’ll raise our child to value honesty and kindness, all in spite of you.
Sincerely,
Reader
---
The paper was damp with tears after you lifted your pen for a final time. You wished you could just keep the whole thing a secret: go make a quiet life for yourself somewhere else. It wouldn’t be right. Not after all of the dishonesty that man had spewed to you over the past few years. You had to tell him.
The door to the office room you’d settled in to write the letter creaks open. It’s Levi. He looks at your puffy eyes somberly, sympathetic. He was the first person you had told about the entire situation. Not because you were close, just because you needed help.
You fold your letter and stick it into a sturdy envelope. Levi takes it in his hand.
“That piece of shit doesn’t deserve a thing from you. Not a letter. Certainly not tears,” Levi says, using a clean handkerchief to wipe a stray drop from your cheek, “but I am proud of you.”
You take the handkerchief from him, feeling more tears stream down your face.
“Proud? I’m a fucking idiot,” you say through your sobs.
“Don’t even try to pull that self pity shit with me. Things happen sometimes. And you’re strong enough to commit to getting through it,” he responds.
You stand up, pushing your chair out. You look at him as you dry your face off again.
“I’m alone. How the hell am I supposed to do this shit alone?”
“You are not alone,” Levi replies. You’re shocked when he pulls you into a hug. “I’m going to help.”
You had never seen this side of him before. You look at him as you pull away slowly, tears still welled in your eyes.
“Are you sure? That's a big burden, Levi. None of this has to involve you.”
“Not the biggest burden I’ve ever taken on,” he shrugs. “There’s a lot of death around here, Y/N. Everyone is going to be happy about the little bit of life you’re giving us.”
You chuckle. He’s cynical, but he’s right.
He licks the envelope as he walks toward the door.
“Want me to run you a hot bath or something? Is that the type of shit pregnant people need?” he asks.
You laugh, a little harder than normal. It felt so relieving to laugh.
“Sure, Captain,” you respond softly.
---
Dear Reader,
I received your letter before the battle in Marley. I actually got to hand it to Reiner myself. He knows everything now. He broke down in front of me after reading it, going on about how much he regrets everything. How he wishes he could change things and be there for you. He begged me to kill him right there.
The world will eventually not have suffering like what you are going through now.
Eren Jaeger
---
Your jaw had dropped reading it. He begged me to kill him.
You hand the letter Levi had just delivered back to him. He reads it with a furrowed brow.
“Do you think…” you begin, your voice shaky, “do you think I could send another letter?”
Levi purses his lips, “Possibly. I can ask Jaeger. But right now, you need to bring your blood pressure back down.”
You were over seven months along now. You had found out about your pregnancy late, after being in denial for four whole months. Hange insisted on checking you out after you’d thrown up every morning for a week.
Levi had since gone on a parenting book reading spree; he made you read several of them too. He knew just about everything you needed to do to make a healthy baby: what to eat, what not to eat, how to exercise, when to go to the doctor, etc. It was really sweet how much he cared. You knew it gave him hope, something to fight for, something to come home to.
You were terrified when he left for Marley. You kissed him for the first time when he returned. Just about everyone you knew had to fight. You wished you could be out there fighting with them like you were supposed to. Maybe you could have made a difference.
Levi takes your hand, squeezing it to bring you out of your thoughts.
“What can I do?” he asks.
“Get me a glass of wine,” you grumble.
“Absolutely not.”
---
Dear Reiner,
Reader does not know I’m sending this. So keep it that way, or I’ll kill your sorry ass. Or maybe not, you’d probably enjoy that. In that case I’ll get creative.
How does it feel? Being a fucking deadbeat? Is it everything you’d thought it’d be and more? Fucking her and leaving her with nothing, like she belongs in a whorehouse. Reminds me of what happened to my mother. Pieces of shit like you came in and sent her to her death, leaving her kid behind to starve.
I wasn’t about to let her suffer like my mother did. But you were. I’m glad your choices haunt you, Reiner. You fucking deserve it.
I’ll be there for the both of them from now on, doing everything you were never capable of. She’s due any day now, I’m sure she’ll try to write to you.
Levi
---
You feel your first contraction while napping on the couch with Levi. You were settled in between his legs, your back leaning up against his chest. He had his hands on your stomach; he loved to feel the baby kick and tell them some of the happier stories in his memories.
The two of you had grown so close over the past few months. You slept together every night now. You didn’t want to leave each other’s sides if you didn’t have to. Levi would cuddle and massage you any time your pregnant body was ailing you.
You had fantasized with him about life after the war. He wanted to be a husband, a father, to live peacefully in the countryside. And he wanted more than anything for you to join him.
The first contraction wasn’t painful enough for you to make much more than a grunting noise, but Levi woke up the second he felt your stomach contort a bit. He was on very high alert these days.
“Holy… shit…is that what I think it is?” Levi whispers, “Don’t answer. I’m getting Hange.”
He crawls out from behind you and sprints out of the room.
The pain worsens and becomes much more frequent while he’s out looking for Hange. You stand up eventually after getting the urge to walk around - and your water breaks. You start panicking, unsure of how dilated you were and how much time you had left before pushing. You really wished you’d done more than just skimmed through those birthing books right about now.
Levi and Hange eventually come sprinting back into the room with a wheelchair and cold rags to find you whimpering in pain on the couch, trying your best to control your breathing.
You’re rushed down the halls to the Scout’s infirmary, where Levi had made sure the perfect room was set up for you - and it had been that way for two months.
The next hour goes by in a blur. Hange knew the biology of how to deliver the baby, and Levi knew how to coach you. He helped you hold your legs back when you pushed, and helped you count out your breathing. Hange attended to everything that might have made Levi faint, like checking your dilation and making sure the baby was coming out at the right angle. You got lucky having these two by your side.
Through all of your efforts, you finally hear a cry. You look up to see Levi holding your tiny new baby as Hange wiped them clean. He was smiling, way bigger than you’d ever seen him smile before, with tears in his eyes.
“Here,” he says softly, handing her to you.
You cradle her on your bare skin. “She’s so perfect, Levi! Look how sweet she is!” you coo.
“What are you going to call her?” he asks, stroking your hair as you gleam down at your baby.
“I was thinking,” you smile, “Kuchel.”
Levi lets out small gasp. Tears start streaming down his face, his efforts to stifle them failing.
“Really? I think that’s,” he wipes his eyes, “a wonderful name.”
—-
Dear Reiner,
She’s finally here! Oh my god, she’s precious. Levi and Hange helped to deliver her. Labor went smoothly. Levi started to cry when he saw her for the first time. She really is just that perfect. We are calling her Kuchel, after Levi’s mother. He cried when I told him that, too (don’t tell him I’m sharing those crying details.) I've decided to give her Levi’s last name as well.
Levi set up the perfect nursery for us.
If you really did feel guilty for leaving - don’t be. I’m happy.
She has your eyes.
Sincerely,
Reader
—-
Dear Reiner,
Kuchel said her first word today. Of course it wasn’t mama, she’s such a daddy’s girl. She started crawling awhile ago, we are now working on standing up on our own. She has all of this blonde curly hair, too. She’s growing up so fast.
Reader

Dear Reiner,
Levi proposed a few days ago. It was so perfect. We found a nice house with room for a farm that will be perfect for a family.
I can only wonder how you’re doing, now that the war is over.
Are you even alive?
Reader
—-
Dear Reiner,
I’m expecting again. Levi is beyond excited. I am too, of course. Kuchel started school this year. She is such a smart kid.
I still wonder about you. After all these years.
Reader
—-
Message after message, word after word. No response. You had decided he must be dead. The devastation after the war would argue that he was.
That is, until you found yourself rummaging through one of Levi’s desk drawers, looking for baby Isabel’s lost pacifier.
You felt the bottom of the drawer shift. A false bottom?
You pry at it until it comes open.
Letters.
Dozens of opened letters. With Marleyan postage stamps.
You pull out the first bundle you see. They’re all from you. Unopened. Unsent. You set them aside, your jaw quivering.
You pull out the second bundle and gasp.
—-
Dear Reader,
Eren showed me your letter. I am terribly sorry. Let me fix this, somehow. You can come to live with me in Marley. I will take care of you. Please.
I’m not just a traitor, a liar, a farce. Everything between us was real. I can explain everything. Just trust me.
Love,
Reiner
—
Dear Reader,
Do you get my letters?
I’ve only heard rumors about our new baby girl. I wish I could see her. Just once. For a second. Do you have a camera? I know they’re hard to come by in Paradis. I can send one.
I’d do anything to change this. You know I would.
Love,
Reiner
—-
To Levi,
You son of a bitch. I know exactly what you’re doing. You think this is protecting her, but it’s not. Just let her talk to me. She would listen, she would understand. You said yourself that she writes. You manipulative, sick bastard. That is MY child. She will never be yours. No matter what you brainwash her to believe, your dirty Ackerman blood does not run through her veins. She deserves to know. You are the farce, Levi.
Reiner
—-
There were dozens more. All opened. All from Reiner.
You sink down to the floor, tears spilling from your eyes.
You are the farce, Levi.
But, why? He was just protecting you, right?
The office door opens. You jump, shoving the letters back into the drawer.
“Mommy, why are you crying?” Kuchel asks.
You take a deep breath, staring down at the letters, thinking about everything that could have been.
“Are you happy here, Kuchel?”
“Yes!” she chirps, “Every day!”
“Then it’s nothing, baby. Mommy just got hurt. She’s better now.”
Your daughter giggles and skips out of the room, leaving you to hide away the rest of the letters.
༺♥༻
I REALLY HOPE I understood your request, Anon! I actually had a lot of fun writing this. It isn't something I would normally think to write, but I'm so glad you shared this idea! Sorry for the sad ending, I love playing w people's emotions ;)

hihihi ~ hope you're doing well! would you mind doing some hcs for keigo with a quirkless s/o??? i was thinking of someone that it's a police officer or even a nurse??? btw hope you don't mind using g/n pronouns, please. take care <3
— keigo x quirkless!reader hcs
pairing(s): keigo takami x gn!reader
wc: 1.4k+ words
content: how you met hawks, post confession headcanons, fluff because we love it here, cursing, small dashes of insecurity talk at the end
notes: i am doin pretty good!! and thank you for the request (and also tellin me my ask box wasnt open ;-;) i hope you enjoy what i cooked up for ya!! also, dw! the pronouns are always gender neutral when i write apart from requests and when people don’t specify in requests. i’m also fine if you or anyone wants your or their request written with specific pronouns too :)) you take care as well!! <3
⇉ requests are open!! || masterlist || rules
keigo is rather fragile when it comes to relationships. he was taken in and started his training to be a hero very early on in his life, so he has no experience with deeper relationships, let alone romantic ones
well
had
his training covered assassination, spy missions, surprise attacks, and almost any possible scenario you could think of, which is even more insane considering quirks exist
but he was unprepared as shit for your first encounter with him
it was just another day and just another villain. he took care of them quickly and efficiently and the villain was dragged to the side. the bystanders that were watching before soon crowded him with questions and mics, papers and pens. but, like always, he had to talk to the officials first
reluctantly, he waved away his fans with a wink and smile, then turned the other way
and holy guacamole
you appeared at the scene and he got Got™️
was just struck with a solid 10 cupid arrows simultaneously
now, being the number two hero, he’s not usually nervous about talking to people—half of his job is that
but there was without a doubt hesitation present as he slowly made his way towards you and the group you were with
palms-sweaty-knees-weak-arms-heavy-mom’s-spaghetti type beat
walking over felt like an eternity with how much he was overthinking. why was he overthinking anyways? this was a completely normal situation after a completely normal fight and he was going over to talk to completely normal person (well, debatable)
he finally made it to the group and didn’t even need to clear his throat: they’d notice those bright, red wings anywhere, including you
“hey, what’s the situation?” he chimed after getting everyone’s attention, making eye contact with everyone and turning on his ✨hero charm✨
HOWEVER
when he turned to you
oh my—
sparkles. sparkles flying around. his head. awestruck.
your coworker didn’t seem to notice:
“oh, nothing too unusual. we’ll take him back and deal with him.”
hawks nodded at the man, visibly absentminded as he continued to stare at you
for a moment, you thought you did something wrong somehow within the first two seconds of being in his presence, but you just laughed—this snapped him out of his daze
“also, thank you for what you did today,” you mentioned with those gorgeous eyes of yours staring back at him, oh my gosh what a pretty shade of—“we all appreciate what you do for the city.”
for some reason, this seemed to catch him off guard, but he collected himself quickly: “o-oh! well, i mean, all in a day’s work. you help out the city just as much as i do, y’know. heroes are only part of the puzzle.” what a #humbleking
you took a moment to process his words, but then smiled, appreciation glistening in your gaze. “ah, well, i do as much as i can as a quirkless citizen.”
oops does that count as oversharing—
but before he could ask further, you and your group unfortunately had to excuse yourselves.
never in a million years would he miss that one last goodbye smile you gave him, though
LUCKILY it’s procedure to check in with all the workers involved after a crime scene definitely yes 100% yup totally
so, he invites you to talk about the scene at his agency! how nice of him! definitely wasn’t a plot to get to know you better without your coworkers potentially getting in the way! and he books it the literal day after because this man is now intrigued with the one minute he spent with you!
of course, you gotta dress to impress for the number two hero. so, when the day comes, you throw on one of your sharpest outfits and make your way downtown walking fast to the agency
the workers’ direct you to hawks’ office as he waits in his chair, checking his phone every two seconds for the time. god, when were you going to get here?—
a knock echoed through the room and he has never ran out of his chair faster
he swings the door open and you smile at him, saying hello with the files of yesterday’s case in your hands.
turn on the charm again and—“hey there~”
,,, initiate youhaveaheartattack.exe
he welcomes you in and pulls up a chair for you, then sits down at his own chair and discreetly noticed your outfit hOW ARE YOU SO GOOD LOOKING
he makes a quick joke about how he wishes the chairs were equal quality for both him and the ones for others in his office and you laugh of course because it is obvious this man is trying his dang darnest best and—“oh! i didn’t even ask for your name!”
in his head it’s just “DAMN IT HAWKS YOU IDIOT WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS YOU LITTLE—”
you realize this too and chuckle, then state it to him. he repeats after you and your name rolls off his tongue almost too easily. “nice ring to it.”
you nervously smile and avert your eyes for a moment, collecting yourself because this gorgeous man is right in front of you and did i mention he’s the number two hero because wow status is scary— “uh, should we get to the case?”
right
Fuck™️
luckily, fate was in his favor today
the conversation started off professional, but after the basics were covered about the crime scene, he got to segway into something else: your quirkless-ness
it was a little out of left field, having someone like him ask about something like that, but you don’t ignore it. instead, you sigh and rub the back of your neck. you didn’t want things to get too unprofessional, so you hit the main points only:
you said it was hard growing up quirkless. all the other kids seemed to have such a huge advantage compared to you. even as you did your best in academics, there were moments in school that just seemed like a sign in big, bold letters that you were never going to be at their level, and all because you were born unlucky
though, you added, you decided that you still wanted to help people in the ways you could. so, you worked hard day in and day out, and now you were here
you finished up the story and hawks was feeling… surprisingly sentimental
hawks’ quirk was almost all of who he was, his whole identity. sometimes, he thinks he wouldn’t be able to live without it. sure, he’s met quirkless people before, but seeing something—someone—like this, up close and personal? hearing about it from someone who saw the silver lining and decided that was enough?
he didn’t think you could get any better, but you clearly proved him wrong
“wow.” he leaned back in his chair. “i’m startin to think you should be on this side of the desk.”
you were stunned. with a nervous laugh and a wave of your hand, you pushed it aside and continued with what little of the case there was to talk about
,,, yeah no, hawks wasn’t gonna let that happen
the questioning ended and he not-so-secretly slipped you a paper with an address, one you’re familiar with being a local cafe, and a time, one that’s far too soon for you to think that this was going to be just another questioning
headcanons, post confession!
when he comes homes from work, he stretches his arms open wide and calls out that he’s home—it’s second nature for you to run to the door instantly and tackle him in a hug. if he’s in a good mood, he’ll pick you up and spin you around, singing a small line of either one of his or your favorite songs, whichever one was stuck in his head during patrol
he is busy as a pro hero, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t busy too! so, you two still work out a schedule so you can spend as much time together as possible
the days you and him do get off are filled with bad jokes, good food, and plenty of kisses. he likes to unwind when he can, so dates include movie nights (both at home with tons of blankets and in theaters with tons of overpriced candy and popcorn), serene, 5 star restaurants (he gets deals from plenty of places as a hero), small picnics with probably burnt cookies (again, he’s trying his best), and more!
you sometimes feel insecure about being with him. he’s the number two hero with a one of a kind quirk—the spotlight is on him the second he arrives. and you just feel so small in comparison. but he can’t have any of this
he’ll comfort you any time you feel down, and reassure you that you being quirkless means nothing to him; he loves you for who you are. and he mentions to look on the bright side: how you’ve come so far even without one, and how that makes you all the more special. he admits that sometimes, he doesn’t feel worthy of you
a lot of people are shallow nowadays. clout chasers are everywhere. and so, he’s used to being used. his fame is good when he can have an impact on the world, but more times than it should, it stabs him in the back.
getting someone like you? someone who doesn’t use him like a puppet on a string for your own benefit? that alone would make him feel conflicted. but there’s so much more to you. he can’t help but feel unworthy too
and well, you can’t have any of this either, now can you?
you both are each others’ support systems and you help each other grow as individuals, leading to a healthy, loving relationship. it’s what both of you deserve <333

hi!! can i please get a bungou stray dogs matchup? im bisexual & use she/her pronouns btw :)
for my appearance: im 5’2, have long light brown hair, brown doe eyes, a button nose, a beauty mark above my lip, and a summer tan! for my body, uhhh best i can come to describe it is mitsuri kanroji… thats basically what i got goin on ansksnekfj! i love to dress fairly soft and girly, currently im obsessed with the balletcore aesthetic (i love leg warmers so much)!
for my personality: if it matters i am a cancer & esfj. but!! more importantly, id say im fairly bubbly and energetic! i have a huge heart i tend to wear on my sleeve, and i have a complete inability to hide what i feel, and i kinda hate that. i still love things though, i think emotions make us human! im also a bit of a people pleaser & i have anxiety so i can sometimes be a bit nervous but i got this usually!! im also very affectionate and clingy with people, i don’t even notice anymore aajdkrnke. my love language is touch, and im very cuddly :) im also a plant mom and have a soft spot for any kind of animal :)
please and thank you!!
I match you with . . .
Gin Akutagawa !!
♡ given your similar choices of fashion, you two had probably met in a small shop within a mall. when you were checking out your items, being the only person in line, gin was directly behind you. she didn't really notice you at first, sorting out her own items. as you left the store, making a little ding! noise, was when you caught her eye.
♡ it began with a few compliments exchanged, and then small talk. from there on, you two were good friends, meeting up with each other on the weekends. you'd frequently hang out in little shops or in a park, enjoying the scenery and animals that passed by.
♡ gin would listen to you talk and identify plants, taking notes of which ones you were already a mother to. she'd find your passion fascinating, asking frequent questions and even considering buying a few plants herself, taking advice from you.
♡ your bubbly personality matched well with gin's calmness, as weird as that sounds. she appreciated how energetic, sweet, and lively you were; as it was a change of pace from anyone in the mafia. you two could talk for days and days about anything & everything, if gin weren't so busy.
♡ that being said, you don't have to wear your heart on your sleeve for gin to notice something's up. she's very good at analyzing and reading people and will ask you what's up as soon as she notices you're off. if you don't want to talk about it, that's completely okay! she won't budge
♡ but overtime, the more flustered you became around her, the more your feelings really became apparent. she didn't ask you what's wrong and didn't dance around the question, she's really straightforward when it comes to things like this.
♡ "do you have... feelings, for me?" gin asked you, in the privacy of her own bedroom. you two sat on her bed, admiring a new plant you had bought a few days ago. the question seemed to come out of nowhere and caught you completely off guard. gin wasn't that great at timing.
♡ "it was too obvious." gin smiled, loving your completely stunned and blushing face. and from there on, you two were the cutest couple in yokohama, although ryuunosuke would say otherwise. as well as the best plant & animal moms on the earth.
♡ if you're ever feeling anxious, gin will be there to comfort you and cheer you up with soft words and small touches. she'd hold your hand, rub your back, whatever you wanted the most. she's a great listener and will attempt to help you however you want her to. gin may not always be available, but she'll try her best for you.
♡ how she broke the news to you that she was an active member in the port mafia was quite odd. truth be told, atsushi had been the one to inform you of this. he was on a mission and had been spying on gin AGAIN, spotting you with her, holding hands. he didn't know who you were and what your connection to her was, which enabled him to immediately track you down and make sure you knew of gin's career.
♡ you had said thank you to atsushi before leaving, returning home to confront gin about what had been said. you knew she was very very busy and her brother was quite the shady figure, but it was hard to believe your calm and collected girlfriend would be part of such an organization.
♡ gin was disappointed in the way you found out. she had explained everything to you, leaving no detail out. she promised you that she'd keep you safe & protected, never crossing into harm's path. it all became clear why she had brought you to so many expensive places and bought you very expensive things. and also why she was very busy.
♡ needless to say, it was a little wild, but your love was as strong as ever and you wouldn't change a thing about gin; as long as she was okay. you didn't have to meet the other agents, only akutagawa, which already happened... much to his dismay.
♡ she's not the biggest fan of PDA, but small little kisses and hand holding are def her thing. gin loves to play with your hair, brushing it for you, as long as you're okay with it. in private, she's down for cuddles whenever you want! prefers to be the big spoon always, but doesn't mind taking turns.
♡ if you're ever gone for a while, gin would gladly take care of your house, plants, animals, etc. when you're not there to do so. gives you such a big hug when you come back!!
♡ she's not the best, but will cook for you if you ask her to. appreciates taking care of you, and wants the same in return when she's too busy and needs a break. whatever you want, she'll make it, even if she doesn't quite like it herself. enjoys cooking for you and loves seeing you enjoy it!!
♡ overall gin just thinks you're the sweetest and most interesting person she's ever met,, she loves you so so much and vows to protect you the best she can.

No, Mia isn’t "low-tier" compared to Ada (morally speaking, or w/e) – a measured answer?/essay
So, a couple of Ada haters tried to put up a false symmetry between both of these characters there on twitter, and it inspired me to put my own thoughts down in a more articulate essay as to why that's (Ada's somehow being morally worse than Mia) not sustained by canon in Resident Evil.
standing there, killing time
can't commit to anything but a crime
all the good girls go to hell
'cause even God herself has enemies
and once the water starts to rise
and heaven's out of sight
she'll want the Devil on her team. ⁕
First things first: let us debunk the false symmetry that they tried to establish between these two characters with extremely distinct archetypes – and worse, the following replies to this false symmetry and its poor arguments trying to validate it, pointing out that, in fact, no, character B (that would be Ada, btw) – which is so evidently and ridiculously different from character A (and that would be Mia) – is, in fact, WAY WORSE than character A, and then proceeding to assert some unsupported propositions about misogyny in Resident Evil (which, tbh, definitely IS a recurring problem in the franchise, but that in this case particularly, little or does not apply AT ALL) and how Ada contributes to "the perpetration of a biological cold war".
Starting with what differentiates Mia from Ada grotesquely: we know NOTHING of Ada's true alliances in RE's world. Mia, however, canonically worked for a group that participated in the importation and exportation as well as the manufacturing, testing and marketing of biological weapons: "The Connections", a CRIMINAL SYNDICATE which, amongst other things, was also involved in money laundering, assassinations as well as weapons and drug trafficking. I don't care at all about Mia, so I don't intend to waste much of my time going on about her role in the plot, but people should've already realized by just that much how infinitely dishonest is to try to put these two characters as "similar" ones, or argue that Ada is somehow worse.
Another detail that shouldn't escape anyone's attention too, are the origins and nationalities of both – and yes, I intend to briefly bring up racism against eastern-Asian looking characters (a silent plague that takes form by each passing day in all fiction fandoms) and anti-China xenophobia, but for now, hold this tea there just before I drop it: Mia is canonically American, and previously a Texas-state resident; meanwhile, we have no confirmation of Ada's nationality except for her pretty evident Chinese ancestry. But, as I said, hold it there for a while.
i) espionage — the job
red so silent
wait a minute
or just a little while.
what are you looking for? ⁕
At all times that Ada's "job" was brought up in this franchise, in ALL of her cameos, she has NEVER been called a mercenary in the original Japanese. She's always referred to as a SPY. Even in RE2R, the most recent title in which she's featured in, the original text of the game makes a point of labelling her as a SPY (and not a mercenary) in the dialogue that transpires between Annette and Leon.
It's the North-American translation and correspondent localization that now and then falls for the equivocal use of this other term. This distinction is important since espionage NECESSARILY implies operating in an organized service for, perhaps a country, or a political cause, or a class/group, or a corporation, or whatever. While a mercenary is someone who's acting per their self financial interests, indiscriminately selling their specialized "labour" and skills to anyone who'll offer more.
Ada's not a mercenary, she's a spy. But Mia, in addition to being hired to a canonically criminal company, was also the handler personally assigned to Eveline. I don't care how exactly Mia got in that predicament but the fact is: Mia was canonically employed by a company that profited over illicit activities and directly watched as a family was destroyed and toyed with by this new killing machine (Eve). Yet, we can't state for sure that we know to whom or to what Ada is truly affiliated with.
ii) sources — check them
who's a heretic now?
am I making sense?
how can you make it stick?
and I'm on a trial
waiting 'til the beat comes out. ⁕
This fandom should put a little more thought into which translation and localization of the game texts, dialogues and files they are using to support their arguments. I know that in some cases the United States people have a bit of an inclination to think of themselves as the owners of the planet and deem English as the only language that matters in this world, but let's not forget that RE is a Japanese franchise (wow, insane, right?!). Therefore, the most valid script, with the greatest amount of details, and highest credibility, is the Japanese original. Throughout these years, there have been several errors in translation and localization of the Japanese original to North-American English. And, believe me, curiously enough, plenty of those concern Ada, since she's often mentioned or referred to in a very vague way – without the use of pronouns or adjectives or adverbs that could help in indicating gender. This ended up causing those details and mentions to her to get overlooked, even though in the Japanese text it was a clear reference to her character (per observation of context).
iii) the good guys — one of
head in the dust
feet in the fire
labour on that midnight wire
listening for that angel choir
you got nowhere to run
careful son, you got dreamers plans
but it gets hard to stand. ⁕
Yes, as much as haters try to minimize it, it is SIGNIFICANT that Ada saved so many important characters and stood for unquestionably heroic actions in so many moments - like stopping everything she was doing so she could help completely random Chinese civilians with the helicopter she managed to pilot in that chaos in China (yeah, I know you haters love to forget about this, but it happened, it's there in canon, and no, it wasn't her direct OR indirect responsibility what was going on in China: REPLAY RE6 and for the love of GOD, never again argue that what she did was somehow "the equivalent of evacuating a city after selling a WMD to destroy that same city". It's a case of pure intellectual dishonesty to say such a thing. It's canon that Carla was the one who caused what happens in China, PLEASE, PLAY RE6).
Furthermore, Ada shows compassion on some occasions even for characters who are directly putting her in harms ways, like Annette (in RE2 OG, right after - in order to defend herself - she slaps Annette leading her to lose balance and collapse over the sewers fences, Ada makes an effort in trying to pull Annette back and prevent her from falling) and Carla.
Replay RE4 and pay attention to it, pay attention to her solo campaign: getting involved with Leon's journey in Spain hasn't brought any real benefit to her mission or herself: Ada deviates from her main path several times due to worrying about him and trying to help him and almost ends up dead in several of these occasions over her insistence in doing so: by saving him from Bitores Mendez, by helping him and Ashley against Sadler, by confronting Krauser and stopping him.
It's so lazy to only read/listen to a file in which she says in English that "Leon might be useful to her plans" (this is way more nuanced in the Japanese original of Ada's Report), and ignore everything that was SHOWN in the game: every effort she made to ensure that Leon could rescue Ashley, remove the parasite from his and her bodies, and escape from that hell-island.
The jet-ski she left for their escape was ALREADY there before she was captured by Sadler (or you think she arranged it while she was caught?). Leon having to intervene and save her from Sadler WASN'T her plan. It WASN'T her plan to take the sample from Leon's hands. She wanted to help him get out of there with Ashley and she guaranteed he could do so, she wanted to get the sample by herself and escape too while sending that hell to kingdom's come. But, because she chose to help Leon rescue Ashley right in front of Sadler, she ends up captured.
On her end, Mia never did anything minimally compared to that, and all of her "selflessness" or self-sacrificing actions involved a much, MUCH smaller scope than Ada's: wanting to help her husband and HERSELF is not at all comparable to saving a few dozens of unknown Chinese civilians. So no, they aren't "cut from the same cloth". They don't come from the same place, nor do they share the same intentions or goals, and their contributions to the RE storyline are quite different.
iv) unknown true purpose (shades of grey)
lining up in the background
waiting for the crowd shot to be seen
in the shadow of the big screen
everybody begs to be redeemed. ⁕
In databooks, Ada is recurrently described as "a Chinese spy with extraordinary physical abilities, vigorous health and composed mind and spirit, capable of coping with grim situations and handling even the most difficult requests without losing composure". If we are paying attention to the storytelling ingame, however, we know that this isn't always the case: Ada did let her mask of unswerving emotional and physical strength fall and showed a very fragile side under strenuous circumstances a couple of times already.
Also, in these databooks, they often point out that "she has her own 'true purpose' and has FREQUENTLY betrayed organizations and clients to achieve it". Huh, we can AGAIN, by this only, see how completely different she's from Mia, who personally watched an entire family being driven to insanity by Eveline's hand.
Furthermore, in these databooks, it's often said that "this true purpose is still obscure and whether she truly cared for anyone or simply used her charms to manipulate people that crossed paths with her isn't ever clear". If people are willing to be open-minded and exercise their text comprehension skills, though, they'll see that in multiple occasions of emotional confrontation it has been established time and time again that yes, Ada DOES care. She wasn't capable of shooting Leon and there has been a couple of other times that failing to choose a cool, sociopathic calculation and pragmatical demeanour over empathy and humanity towards others has put her in harms ways: nonetheless she still chose it.
v) positive impact
I'm gonna break the cycle
I'm gonna shake up the system
I'm gonna destroy my ego. ⁕
To this point, RE's plot systematically leads us to believe that Ada has been covertly acting behind the scenes of multiple biological incidents COLLECTING INFORMATION (the job of a spy, who would've thought! lmao), that is valuable to numerous organizations, companies, groups and different contexts, but at the same time of allegedly offering to handle this knowledge for the right price to the big players involved with bioterrorism and clandestine trading of bioweapons, she's also working to sabotage said players.
This is evident throughout the franchise: she intended to hurt Umbrella's business. She outwitted and deceived Wesker multiple times. She even undermined Simmons, someone who was in a position of power in the US government and actively using that position to lead bioterrorist ventures on the parallel side.
There's no concrete evidence or hint as to what she does with the information she collects, and for all purposes and effects, I can presume that she's gathering this knowledge to assist in the discovery of countermeasures and vaccination studies. I might as well argue that she is a Chinese spy who is working against European and North-American capitalism and the imperialism that creates such monsters like the biochemical and bioweapons industry and that her real objective is to dismantle the market for bioweapons and bioterror supported mainly by the USA (see: Simmons and The Family).
That is, as long as it is unclear what her true purpose is, I have the freedom to surmise whatever the heck I want and that all of what she's been doing was for the sake of the greater "good" - and I'll even have canon moments to support this reasoning as it's clear that she regularly sabotages her customers (customers that are unquestionably established as playing for the "evil" side, with perverse intentions) - throughout the franchise. She did this on RE2, RE4, RE6 and Damnation. It's there, transparent in canon, people just choose to ignore it.
She laughs in the face of whoever she's talking to by the end of Damnation, saying she doesn't intend to deliver the Plaga; she scoffs at Simmons; she betrays Wesker and kills Krauser. She had been sabotaging Wesker for so long, that he sent Krauser to be the main agent in the mission in Spain, and Ada was just a "side effect" that he didn't have in control and had to keep an eye on, so he ordered Krauser to keep tabs on her. It's not a mutually beneficial dynamic. Ada doesn't want Wesker to succeed, she despises him; this is clear in the games in which they interact. There are even files that indicate that she was trying to double-cross and get in the way of his plans for at least 2 years before Spain, and he was constantly catching up with her. See here and here.
On her end, Mia was employed by and consciously working for a criminal syndicate.
vi) a (secretly) helping hand
oh, I'm a master pretender
just felt more alone
the further I'd go
but I'll stick around
I'll be your master defender
yeah, I'll stick around. ⁕
Ada approached characters such as John Clemens and Luis Sera, and both had a canonical intention to, in addition to putting an end to their connections with the criminal companies and organizations they've been working for, also expose and denounce them for their crimes. It's in this context that Ada comes into contact with them. And why is that?
Check John's background: he had made up his mind about disclosing Umbrella's crimes to the public. Check Luis' background: Ada went to Spain to assist in his extradition since he feared for his own life if he resolved to turn his back on the cult of Los Illuminados, and also dreaded the consequences of the liberation of Las Plagas on an international scale.
Keep in mind that Ada handed over to Wesker a USELESS Plaga sample. Wesker only got the sample currently circulating in the underground market because he went after Krauser's body. We don't know what Ada did with the master Plaga sample she obtained. We only know from Ada's Report and the Plaga Recovery file that she didn't deliver it to Wesker, and he needed to go out for a plan B to get it.
Even the G-Virus sample that fell into the hands of the clandestine business, it's possible to argue that Ada's involvement in it was flimsy, since Simmons CANONICALLY made over a thousand laboratory tests in Sherry, and, as we know, he was a leading figure in bioterrorism and bioweapons trading with the aid of his position in the US government.
But, guess what, Ada clearly is a non-white character with obvious Chinese heritage and Mia is white, so of course, OF COURSE, someone can so nonchalantly affirm that Ada, this "vile bitch", is somehow WORSE than Mia. The same Mia who watched the Bakers being destroyed. Right.
Also: trying to validate one's point by claiming anything related to the misogyny present in RE franchise, while IN THE SAME BREATH AND TWEET reducing Ada's entire character arc to that of "a sociopathic bitch cured by the magic dick of her love interest" is supposed to be a joke, right? No, really. Joke.
conclusion and a word against misogyny
we are waiting on a telegram to
give us news of the fall
I am sorry to report
dear Paris is burning after all
we have taken to the streets
in open rejoice, revolting
we are dancing a black waltz
fair Paris is burning after all. ⁕
To any Ada fan that has been reading this so far: PLEASE, I ask to consider refraining to use the "oh yes, Ada did some bad shit, bUT" take to defend the character because that isn't sustained by canon in RE, lmao. She didn't do anything evil that had an indisputable bad impact on the plot and other characters arcs. For one, I myself do love some villains, but that isn't the case with Ada.
She did do some unconventional shit yes, since she's a morally GRAY character and an anti-heroine, but by the end of the day, each and every action of hers had a positive impact on the journey of other characters and main plot. Just pay attention to it.
Like idk man, Black Widow, Elektra Natchios, Scarlet Witch and Black Cat from Marvel, Catwoman from DC, Yennefer from The Witcher (some pop culture examples that come to mind).
Saying that this is an "extremely selfish prototypal bad bitch except when it comes to the magical redeeming dick of her love interest" it's a grotesque reduction of a complex female character, and, in its attempt to critique the misogyny present in RE's franchise an expression of misogyny in itself.
Remember: Ada has actions and impact on the franchise ASIDE and IN ADDITION to her romantic involvement with Leon.

Miserix!
YOOO I was hoping someone would send me Miserix for the ask game. He's one of my favorite characters ever since I was a wee lass yet I almost never talk about him for one reason or another. So this is good opportunity to give my Miserix related thoughts.
Content warning for suicide mention in one of the last points btw.
For starters, I find Miserix to be a rather interesting character. This is due to his backstory of being the disgraced former leader of Makuta who was overthrown by Teri and being exiled, desiring. Miserix has this...certain aura of intrigue and mystery due has this...aura of mystery and superiority surrounding him. He isnt a mysterious character by any stretch of imagination, but he def has a vibe of mystery to him.
I love his design so much...Hes a big large dragon with such a kickass design, can you say no to that. I also love how he was designed by a 12 year old girl.
Speaking of...CAN I JUST SAY I LOVE HOW MISERIX CANONICALLY HAS HIS DEFAULT FORM BEING A GIANT RED DRAGON BECAUSE HE FEELS THAT WILL GIVE HIM A SENSE LF SUPERIORITY (+ he likes dragons and feels comfortable in being a dragon form as such). This is why I love this dragon man so much, talk about a chad.
One of the reasons Miserix sticks with me is because of him being one of the few truly neutral characters in the series. Like sure he is a big angry dragon who hates Teridax and wants it all to be destroyed but I don't necessarily think he's evil per say, just someone whose mind was warped by revenge (and even if youd count him as a villain hes different from most other villains). Helps a lot that the object of his revenge was the main villain by say.
Him being an angry dragon who wants revenge is so fucking cathartic and I love it. Since like, sometimes you just want to go apeshit at those who hurt you, ya know. You Miserix, kill Terry like you want to!! Again what a chad!!!
Miserix is one of the most tragic characters in the series when you dissect him. Like, guy was loyal to his duty and mission, was betrayed by his most trusted lietnuant and then almost killed. And that betrayal and isolation degraded his mind to the point he's jusr a mindless beast who wants revenge at this point. And its so sad, especially when you wonder how much he changed due to these experiences.
Speaking of....I think about pre!exile Miserix a lot. Given how the Miserix we see in canon is...heavily affected by Teridax betrayal I wonder what he was before that. What did he value, how did he operate the Brotherhood? Was he deeply focused in his duty or did he have time for other interests and having meaningful relationships? What was his relationship with Teridax like before the latter betrayed him? What about the rest of the Brotherhood? How much did he change, did he have any values or was he just a mindless rage monster? There's so much room for interpretationand speculation and to headcanon and I love that.
The mainthing I can think of is... Pre!Exile Miserix is very driven by duty. Like, in Mutran Chronicles its made clear how he was very invested in his duty and believed in balance and order. It made him having this sense of ...goodness I guess??? Or at the very least that his arrogance was kept in check unlike the rest of the Makuta.
When I was younger I was very "UWU Miserix was good the other Makuta were evil f*cktwits who betrayed him" for a very long time but honestly rereading Mutran Chronicles made me realize that while he certainly had some kind of moral code he was messed up too (see how he convinced Takadox to act as a spy). Like, Miserix was like, lawful neutral at best (chaotic good if you want to stretch it) Def had a moral code to an extent but was not above shady actions.
Speaking of...I kiiinda ship Miserix/Takadox because of those lines that established Miserix hired Takadox to act as Barraki spy in Mutran Chronicles. Like the way Takadox looked at Miserix with concern when the Barraki were leaving the meeting w the BOM just really made me interested in their dynamic despite the fact we know NEXT TO NOTHING ABOUT IT. but the little we know gives so much potential for them to hacing a really interesting dynamic. Its a shame that Takadox yeeted off in FOF before he could interactwith his former emplyoer, it wouldve given interesting insight into the two.
I aggressively headcanon that Miserix was the first Makuta ever created, and possibly one of Mata Nuis first creations [since iirg MN created the Makuta while Great Spirits and Artakha created most of the GSR species ]
As a kid I seriously thought Miserix was a girl for a while because his name + design were kinda feminine for my child mind fsr. Because of this misconception I had of him as a child, I have ended up in headcanoning him as nonbinary (either genderfluid or bigender to be more specific, leaning towards the latter tbh). He would more or less default to he/him pronouns due to being more used to them but wouldn't mind being refered with feminine or genderneutral pronouns. That being said, he would probably be VERY against being refered with it/its pronouns due to seeing it as dehumanizing.
Also on a "baby me saw Miserix design as androgynous" I heavily hc his voice as androgynous too. Angry, low and booming yes, but in a way that doesn't sound too masculine. This is tve main reason I'm mixed on his voice in the Ignition stop motion: its too masculine for my taste (that being said the voice sounds super jnique and I always hcd Miserix having a rather unique sounding voice soo)
Break from headcanons and thoughts to say: MISERIX HAS SOME OF THE MOST BADASS LINES IN THE SERIES. So much of his lines are so badass and he def has a lot of my favorite quotes in series. Just so much confidence and badassness oozing him.
I find the fact Miserix was turned into a painting by Teridax incredibly funny. Also cant believe paintings are canon in Bionicle.
I think about post-canon Miserix a lot. Now that Teridax is dead, what now? Where would he go there? Would he still be rage-filled monster ,now just having no purpose for his rage? Or would he just wander purposlessly,feeling like theres no reason for him to exist? Regardless, there would be this emptiness... At some point Miserix whole existence became fixated on Teridax so like....When Teri died it was kinda..what then. Post canon Miserix is by far one of the more interesting post canon characters given how much it wouldve affected him. Eh, knowing how Greg writes hed either done "Miserix is driven mad/still rage filled" in the laziest way possible, come up some really stupid and convoluted thing that was out of tje blue or have him being killed off by Velika or one of his cronies instead of exploring his character in any meaninful way.
On a related note, can we talk about how its canon that in one universe Miserix loosing his purpose made him so depressed he killed himself? I think about that sometimesand just...man guy really was driven by having a duty and purpose.Again, makes me wonder what happened with prime!timeline Miserix post canon.
All in all ,Miserix is great and criminally underrated. Hes both a character thats incredibly simple(angry dragon who wants to kill Teridax) but has potential for complexity in him thanks to all the potential his story has. His story is a tragic one, being given a duty he was willing to commit to his fullest, only to be betrayed by his kind and casted away, this slowly turning him into a rage-obsessed monster we see today.Miserix is such a great and interesting character, and I wish more of the fandom paid attention to him.
