Hornet x Quirrel stuff
ā€¢ Quirrel telling Hornet stories about the lands outside Hallownest and teaching her more about the world outside. And Hornet telling Quirrel stories of Hallownest and helping him to remember his old home.
ā€¢ The two of them practice sparing with each other And of course Quirrel teases Hornet about the first time they met.
ā€¢ Hornet easily relaxing around Quirrel but being upset about it later, after she's realized.
ā€¢ Quirrel writing about her and sketching pictures of her. (He just finds her so intriguing!)
ā€¢ Hornet loves dancing, she learned how to dance in the hive and she feels so relaxed and free when she does it. Quirrel would absolutely enjoy dancing with her, and learning from her. And he's a quick learner!
ā€¢ Quirrel and Hornet doing tasks together and Quirrel gets so easily distracted. Hornet keeps him focused and he helps her to slow down and enjoy the simple pleasures of life.
ā€¢ Both of them love water, and swim very well. They spend lots of time at the blue lake, or dancing in the rain in the city.
ā€¢ Hornet making Quirrel silk bandanas, he loves to wear.
ā€¢ The two of them visiting the dreamers memorial in the resting grounds. Placing flowers by their stone.
ā€¢ Herrah and Monomon watching over them, absolutely adoring how close the two have become.

Iā€™m thinking about how Tommy just visibly relaxes when Buck assures him the kiss was ok. How he got all flirty and ā€˜came in a car today so I actually have to worry about trafficā€™. The whole finger guns and Call Eddie thing with his adorable nose scrunch.
So cut to the moment he closes the door and is standing in the hallway (while Buck is all smiley faced/shocked Pikachu just inside). I just imagine Tommy sagging against the wall and like letting his head fall back and his eyes close. And heā€™s thinking to himself *holy fuck. thatā€™s a Thing that just happened. I just kissed that beautiful guy.* And maybe he makes this hysterical little breathy laugh about that because the whole thing could have gone massively sideways. He could have ruined things with Eddieā€™s Best Friend and Chrisā€™s idol.
He takes the steps 2 at a time down to his car because he has this extra spring in his step and feels lighter than air and life is Goodā„¢ļø Even shitty crosstown traffic isnā€™t enough to sour his mood. When he gets to Harbor, Lucy and his team tease him, asking if he got lucky before shift and he just rolls with it, ignoring them pressing for details.
Later, after a few calls and they have a little downtime, it finally really hits him. He decided to shoot his shot and he kissed Evan.
Now, Tommy is an experienced guy and this isnā€™t exactly new territory. But. Tommy of 10+ years agoā€¦ Tommy working under Gerrard and the macho bravado BS of the LAFD, Tommy who had to listen to all the horrible ignorant comments when DOMA was passed, Tommy who didnā€™t know yet what Right was supposed to feel like and didnā€™t get what all those RomComs were trying to sell ā€” heā€™s proud of himself. Because he didnā€™t think this would ever happen. He didnā€™t think this ā€” living open and free and loving how he wanted ā€” was even a possibility for him. But it is. Itā€™s his life and he gets to have it. He huffs out a wet chuckle, glad no oneā€™s really paying attention to his epiphany.
And jfc he canā€™t fucking wait until Saturday.

The beautifully dashing leader of the phantom thieves and the charming detective princess!
My take on fem shuake!!!
I like my toxic doomed yaoi but toxic doomed Yuri hits so much harder when it comes to these two
(Brainrot under the read more!)
If Shuake were girls they would be so much more volatile than canon itā€™s hilarious
Honestly if Akechi was born a girl instead of a boy his already terrible life would be twice as hard hahahaha
Fem Akechi would have a much harder time willingly refraining from directly murdering shido
Like canon Akechi is this close to just shooting him in the head anytime he sees him but fem Akechi would have so much more temptation to see him dead dead dead
Sheā€™s going to have to withstand his disgustingly sexist statements with a bright smile on her face as shido says things like ā€œoh Akechi, youā€™re not like those other women that only serve to further this countryā€™s great longevity through rearing the young, youā€™re different, more capable.ā€ And she needs to let those slimy words go in one ear and out if sheā€™s going to be patient enough for him to be elected first
Not to mention sheā€™s going to experience so much more scrutiny as a public idol since sheā€™ll be a girl
Like in canon he already has a questionable fanbase but just imagine the weirdos thatā€™ll idolise her as the detective princess
And sheā€™s definitely not going to be taken as seriously by people for her detective work because people would JUST WRITE HER OFF AS A PRETTY FACE!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA JUST THE THOUGHT OF HOW MUCH HARDER FEM AKECHI HAS TO CLIMB TO THE TOP TO GET TO WHERE SHE IS!!!!!
Sheā€™s going to curate every facet of her image to make sure people takes her as seriously as possible
Her style needs to be trendy but not too trendy or people would call her vain
She needs to be careful of showing too much skin or sheā€™ll be slutshamed
She needs to word her statements more delicately or else people would call her annoying do you see the visionnnnnnnnn
Like canon Akechiā€™s public mask is already so tightly wound against his face, fem Akechiā€™s public mask would be a full suit of armour (get it get it? Hahahahhaha)
Meanwhile! If Akira was a girl, the notion of her being a meddler when she tries to stop shido would be much stronger I think
Also I have a feeling sheā€™s going to get harassed at shujin for having her criminal record leaked instead of how in canon everyone left Akira alone due to fear since people wonā€™t take her assault charge as seriously
And then thereā€™s kamoshidaā€¦eugh
So in conclusion:
I just think both of them would have so much more pent up rage than in canon hahahahahha
Like Iā€™m sure they wouldā€™ve physically thrown hands in the boiler room of shidoā€™s ship, like forget about the personas theyā€™re going to throttle each other as the rest of the thieves watch hahahahahahhaa
On the bright side though I can see fem Akechi being closer to Sae and the detective princess being a role model to little girls
Hm but I have a feeling the rivalry between Akechi and Akira would feel like those early 2010s tabloid articles about how female stars had beef with each other, like itā€™ll be framed as something super catty hahahahaha
Man these girlies are filled with so much anger, honestly itā€™ll be so iconic if Akechi and Akira were written as girls but I err donā€™t have that much trust in Altus!
These are just my silly headcanons for fem Shuake! If you disagree with what I said itā€™s ok hahahahaha

What's the point of angst without some good aftermath healing?

Something Iā€™ve been thinking about lately is that small moment in ā€œAir Turtleā€ where immediately after the Daves lose yet another game, Leo says how sorry he is and how heā€™s doing his best as the mascot. This moment is so short but itā€™s honestly jam-packed with a whole heap of characterization.
His need to apologize for things clearly not his fault - especially when it feels like he messes up the job he was given despite doing the best he can (the phrase ā€œitā€™s not about youā€ takes a new meaning when this is one of the lessons to be learned from that - that he is not always solely responsible for things going wrong), his need to save face and make a connection with an older adult man in his life (something he consistently does throughout the series - heā€™s got a few daddy issues, always collecting potential father figures, itā€™s no wonder he jumps at the bit to keep rapport), and the way he sounds and looks and the words he chooses really pushes how he is just a kid (ā€œMr. the Dunk, Iā€™m so sorryā€).
Like I know itā€™s a one off moment that doesnā€™t truly mean much, but when put against the rest of the series it works really well with the rest of Leoā€™s established character and helps in solidifying later concepts as well.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt leo#rise leo#rottmnt headcanons#am I looking too much into things? almost assuredly yes#I actually appreciate how tim immediately goes ā€˜itā€™s not your faultā€™ as well? like he couldā€™ve just blamed this 15/16 year old but he didnā€™t#but yeah this moment got to me a little mainly because it made me realize that Leoā€¦DOES take responsibility for things a lot#he messes up a ton yeah but he says sorry at a pretty consistent rate#and yā€™know thinking about it#THIS IS TINFOIL HAT TERRITORY BE WARNED#heā€™s mentioned being betrayed by his brothers before - I wonder if it was something as simple as taking the fall for like#breaking something of Splinters or whatever#point is it wouldnā€™t be out of the ordinary for him to get the full blame for something only partially his fault#or not his fault at all in some cases#like in bug busters where Raph gets mad at Leo for not getting captured with them#(I understand Raphā€™s mindset here a ton - Raphā€™s the leader and heā€™s likely lashing out so I donā€™t blame the poor kid)#but this plus the moment at the beginning of the movie#where only Leo is reprimanded despite Mikey and Donnie having full autonomy to join the fun pizza stacking#make no mistake this is not at all a diss on everyone else!!! itā€™s just something I noticed#I think that ā€œitā€™s not about youā€ doesnā€™t just pertain to being arrogant and wanting the spotlight#I think itā€™s also about how responsibility is meant to be shared#and like#Leo DOES mess up a lot! so heā€™s honestly probably used to having the blame because it is often at least somewhat warranted#heā€™s specifically described as being good at apologizing after all#tldr: Leo messes up a lot of the time so he is very used to blame and attention both good and bad#even when the full blame should not be solely on his shoulders

RATING DIFFERENT ƗSOLOMON SHIPS
So, I saw this post about Solomon being the most shippable character in Om!
So here are my thoughts on some of the ships
SOLODEUS
Tumblr media
One of my favorites, I really like when they interact it's fun. Probably the one I see the most
SOLOTAN
Tumblr media
Another ship I see often. The reason the rating isn't as high as the other ones is because I'm not that familiar with these 2 interacting. Mainly because a lot of their interactions are in chat and events... that I skip often times (ā ļ½”ā Åā ļ¹ā Åā ). Someone please educate me on this shippp! I honestly have little to no idea how they would work together
SOLOSIM
Tumblr media
My other favorite! I like this one slightly better than Solomon Ɨ Asmo because I think Solomon and Simeon would have a softer relationship (?) kinda, so yeah... Do you think Luke approves?
Here some in game stuff for each ship
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is part 1
Next we'll have the "less" common ships (or at least the ones I don't see as often)

I think of Mass Effect, and the brain train reroutes me to Shakarian thoughts. I don't make the rules. I just follow them.
Now then,
Hear me out. Plz. I'll only be a second of your time.šŸ©·
Turians are sort of a homogeneous society that likes predictability, rationale, integrity, honesty, and all that jazz. Since they have to be selfless, always putting the whole before one's self, they are more than likely not very materialistic meaning whenever they do give or receive gifts, it's a rare moment and probably something that reflects quality or some sort of sentimentality.
Now imagine the beginning of Shakarian's relationship. We have Garrus reading up on human cultures where a large chunk of human societies have gift giving sometimes all year round, which varies in price and other factors. Then imagine Shepard being stumped on what to get Garrus as a gift because she doesn't want to cross cultural boundaries and get something that isn't meaningful to him. The first date happens, and Garrus gets Shepard something super sweet and cost efficient, like a handmade card, so he doesn't come off as desperate (according to the forums he's read) and Shepard gets Garrus the most expensive gun money can buy. Neither knows the other has done their research. Garrus thinks he looks like an asshole by not sticking to his values, and Shepard thinks she looks desperate for such a new and budding relationship since Garrus got her something small but sweet.
They both loved the gifts they received, but they felt internal turmoil about the gifts they bought. Then it comes down to the awkward confession that they both looked up what to do when it comes to gift giving. They both decide they should probably just ask each other from now on about any questions they have since their relationship is neither strictly turian nor human. It's human AND turian, meaning they should just do what feels right for each other and no one else ā¤ļø

Jason Mendal headcanons
Tumblr media
I wrote these headcanons for fun, however, keep in mind that there is only a few episodes of MCL NG out by now, so I may be wrong about some ideas due to later revelations. (I've also added some NSFW headcanons under the cut!)
-He loves luxury restaurants, especially Italian food, and everything expensive and exotic that is the specialty of five-star chefs.
-He has a limousine and a driver, but he only uses them on special occasions, since he prefers to drive his own car.
-If he were an animal he'd identify with a panther, a wolf or a shark
-He likes to listen to jazz.
-He made an anonymous Twitter account that he uses to insult Devemenentiel members (later Thomas found it and hacked it to permanently ban it, lol)
-He usually wears cologne, his favorites are ā€œSauvageā€ by Dior, and ā€œErosā€ by Versace (obviously very expensive and brand name)
-He doesn't feel close to his family. Most of them are unbearable to him, with a few exceptions.
-He tends to think that stable romantic relationships are a waste of time. Most of his romantic relationships in the past didn't last very long, almost all of his former lovers complained that "he was married with his job" or that "he was a self-centered asshole". He never had enough time for them and he got bored of them because they were not intelligent or interesting enough to him (something that changes with newsucrette/Ysaline)
-He likes women with self-confidence, who know what they want and are capable of challenging him.
-His poliosis was a consecuence of his Waardenburg syndrome. That syndrome also causes on him to suffers from partial deafness and has vision problems. However, he hides all this by using a very discreet hearing aid and contact lenses. Almost no one knows this except a few people very close to him, Jason hides these problems from the people at his company and any competitors to avoid look weak.
-He's afraid of one day becoming completely deaf, so he learned to read lips and sign language.
-He doesn't want to have children, partly because he doesn't have time to raise them, but mostly because he fears they could inherit the physical problems he has, like a partial or complete deafness.
-Since he was little he was always very good at maths.
-Jason pretends he was always popular, but he was quite nerdy at school, something that he decided to change later in high school and college, he went from being the nerd boy who other made fun of to being the popular boy who insulted and bullied the others.
-During his childhood and teenage years he used to dye his hair so that other children would not mess with him, but as an adult he learned to leave his natural white streaks with self-confidence and to see them as an attractive and unique feature.
-He likes the beach, the pool and going on a yacht. He hates mountains and nature.
-He likes to go to the theater and museums. He knows a lot about the life and work of artists, but he doesn't know as much about art itself, although he pretends he does.
-He has the philosophy of ā€œthe end justifies the meansā€ and also that money does give happiness, or at least it can help buy it.
-As a child he learned to play the piano, but as an adult he has thrown away most of his former hobbies from his little free time, because he no longer has time for any of that.
-He got that tattoo on his arm because he lost a big bet once, but since Jason never talks about his defeats, when someone asks him, he says that he got that tattoo just because he wanted to and without any reason or meaning beyond the aesthetic.
-Devon was one of the few true pals Jason really respected and appreciated in the past, before ā€œsomethingā€ happened between them and they became enemies. Each of them has a different version about what really happened in mind, so that hostility due to differences in povs became increasingly stronger as the years went by. (Probably in this case it is Jason who is not right, but he is too proud to admit that he was wrong.)
-He felt attracted to newsucrette/Ysaline from the first moment he saw her. At first it was just desire and he wanted to manipulate her, but over time that feeling grew stronger and turned into love. Something that he also tried to ignore and deceive himself, denying it until he realized about the truth. He knew that maybe she would hate him, that maybe he would hurt her, that everything could end very badly, but still he couldn't resist to try it.
NSFW headcanons
-He loves bondage, specially tying your hands with his tie.
-He enjoys giving you orders in bed and see you obeying them, but also he enjoys secretly even more when you're a "bad girl" and refuse to do what he orders.
-Praise kink (both give and receive)
-He absolutely adores when you claw your nails on his back, so he has more excuses to call you ā€œkitten.ā€
-Also when you grab him by his tie to drag him to the bedroom and passionately tear off his clothes.
-His favorite place is in his house, although it can be in bed, against the wall or on a table.
-Too excited by the idea of f*king you in Goldreamz's office, on his desk table sometime.
-He almost always prefers to be the dominant one, but also loves when you fight for dominance and you get to be the queen in his bed who is able to doms him.
-He loves to tempt you beforehand, whispering sexy and dirty things in your ear, kissing you on the neck and caressing you softly and subtly, until you can't take yourself anymore.
-Hard. Savage. Passionate. Sometimes very fast for all the sexual tension you two can't handle, sometimes unbearably slow on purpose because he wants to hear you beg for more and praise him how good he is and how much you want him.
-You two always end on a bed after an argument. He's turned on by how beautiful you look when you're angry and how you fight back fierly. Sometimes he makes you angry on purpose because how much he enjoys the moment and what comes later.
-He loves when you tell him that you hate him. That turns him on too even more.
-Skilled with his fingers and proud of it *wink*
-Proud of his own body. Yeah, his size too.
-He loves to kiss your neck, caress your legs and grab your thighs and butt.
-He loves looking at you. His gaze is especially intense and challenging when you're riding him, and he likes to hear you gasp as he watches your beautiful face and body.
-Sometimes is a competition between the two to see who shows better skills in bed and how much you both can last (how many hours and poses). He'll give you his best sexy smirk and won't stop f*king you until you beg him, but you would never beg your enemy... right?
Extra! A few nsfw sweet headcanons too:
-If he notices that you feel too uncomfortable and nervous, he makes humorous comments to break the ice and make you laugh.
-Although he likes BDSM, he will always ask you if you feel comfortable or not with it and will stop if you ask him to do so.
-He's not very used to aftercare, but he knows that you need them, so he tries to give it to you. Plus, he likes it when you rest your head on his torso, close to his heart, and he thinks you look gorgeous while you sleep.

I didn't know Katara also had silver marks on the Kintsugi AU. How did you come up with that idea? Is it an in-universe cultural thing? If it is, is it exactly the same as Zuko's or does the Water Tribe have their own beliefs around it?
Sorry if I'm asking too many questions, I just really love how your mind works when it comes to these AUs šŸ’–
Hello, and thanks for asking!
Initially, Kintsugi was a strictly Fire Nation tradition. Something to hold over the rest of the nations, and deepen their own belief of cultural superiority. Zuko hiding his scars played into that idea, since having gold inlaid in your body is a clear sign of Fire Nation bloodā€”furthermore, High Fire Nation blood.
That being said, one lovely anon gave the suggestion that perhaps the other nations also have their own kinds of Kintsugi, and I fell in love with the idea. @ican-fixitbooks went even deeper into the particular philosophies of each nation regarding Kintsugi. I'll be using some quotes from themā€”watch for the italics.
It was during said brainstorming session that I thought of Katara having a silver Kintsugi scar, and how could it be used to enhance the themes of ATLA, Katara's arc, and this AU as a whole.
But a little background is necessary, I believe.
Kintsugi is a tradition practiced worldwide, with minor differences in philosophy/technique according to each nation.
The Earth Kingdom seal their scars with a substance that resembles bronze, as the mentality of breaking yourself down to build yourself back up better than you were is very central to their culture. It is used as a way to celebrate one's victories, made all the better if damage was taken to achieve it.
The elite have rather different views on this practice. They believe themselves to be above such things. That which is broken must be hidden away, which has interesting connotations when thinking about a certain blind earthbender.
The Air Nomad philosophy leans towards a naturalist approach. Anything natural doesn't need to be "improved" in their eyes. If a scar is there, it is there. Let it be there as a part of you, no different than any other, no need to be "made better", but in fact better to just "be".
Kintsugi is a cultural practice meant to celebrate making something beautiful out of something broken, arguably even making it better than it was. During Sozin's reign and forward, Kintsugi became a way to show the Fire Nation's superiority. Especially as that is essentially their philosophy for war: "Breaking the rest of the world so it can be reforged in fire, made a better, more perfect place."
As for the Water Tribes, there's the healing factor to take into account. The Northern Water Tribe isolated itself from the rest of the world once the war began, so they hold tight to their traditions and beliefs. If something is not broken, then why attempt to fix it? Kintsugi is scoffed at in the Northā€”it is a foreign practice, one that is not necessary when all your wounds can be healed with bending.
However, the Southern Water Tribe has been exposed to the world. They have seen war. They have lived through it. They have suffered, but they are also free because of it, if only in spirit. The South is strong and proud and bold, so it comes as no surprise that silver Kintsugi becomes the mark of their warriors, their hunters, their people.
Katara was wounded during the last Southern Raid. After losing Kya in such a terrible way, Hakoda made sure to seal Katara's wound with the silver of their warriors, so that she would always remember that despite having been broken, she is still strong, beautiful, and proud.
The scar itself is long and thin, going from her right shoulder up to her jaw. It loosely resembles lightning.
And despite how she got it, despite all the things she lost on that day, despite it being a constant reminder of her mother's deathā€”Katara loves her scar.
It grounds her. It pushes her forward. You are a warrior, it tells her. You are a survivor.
When Katara arrives at the North, her scar becomes yet another thing the Northerners hold against her. They use it to demean her, just as they do her gender and out-spoken personality.
The North believes a lot of things that Katara always considered natural to be a problem. What does it matter that she is a woman? What is wrong about being passionate? Why should having a scar mean she's broken?
This scar is something they cannot touch. The Northerners try to use it to demean her. To make her small. Self-conscious. Worthless.
They're scoffing at her mother's death.
Her strength.
Her beauty.
Her pride.
Her story.
And she will not allow it.

Comes in here with a longass post hello! Been meaning to get around to illustrating some Species Headcanons @humming-fly @alagaesia-overlord and I have been cooking up! Major props to them for helping me write the script hahaha it wouldn't have been possible without them!
This is a little segment I have been wanting to try for a bit, just a nice moment to dispense lore in a fun way! I can't promise that more will be out in a necessarily timely manner, but I can promise that more will be on its way. Someday!
Until then, I hope you all enjoy these fun lil thoughts! šŸ¤—

Oh mighty Cheese, I have to know... what are your headcanons for what Frollo looked like when he was waaaay younger (as in pre movie flashback)? šŸ‘€ And what colour do you think his beady ol' eyes are?
Alright...I realized I'm not really good at this...writing stuff just not for mešŸ„¹ but let's have a try!
Here are some of my Frollo headcanons when he was younger! āœØ
Had only two favorite places: the library and the church. His childhood belonged to only these two places.
Was always top of his class. And if he was second, he would think of a way to assassinate the first, like digging a hole in front of their front door (but end up doing nothing, instead he cried for a whole week)
Could play several musical instruments, like piano, violin... (and had ruined some of them with his temper.)
Was a quiet kid and despised socializing (still feels hostility toward socializing but he does it anyway for work)
Was a guy who loved to sing in the shower and I bet the whole village could hear him from afar and he pretended no one knew it.
His spidery handwriting was his deskmate's nightmare. No one could copy his work and he wouldn't allow it anyway :v
Was left-handed but he practiced writing with his right hand because he thought writing with left hand was a wrong thing to do.
As for his eye color, I think it's just black, simple as that. His glare would be a lot scarier if his eyes were bluešŸ’€
