#THESE HEADCANONS TOOK ME OVER A YEAR TO WRITE OOPS

[mockerycrow]

hii! i love the way you describe the 141 so far, and i would love to see how you would write an konig, ghost, soap, price and alejandro reaction and headcanons with a s/o who has an accent?

i taught myself english from a young age so i never really had someone to practice with, so my accent is very strong (im from south america, which also helps lol) and i would like to see how the cod boys can react to this in your style <33

Reader With An Accent - MWII

GIF BY: @collinnmckinley - masterlist

A/N: thank you so much for your patience and thank you for liking my writing!! please let me know if i executed this right!! i am american and i don’t want to misrepresent. also this is lowkey coded for people w/ accents from non-english speaking countries, so sorry everyone who is from a english speaking country and has an accent oops — i also kinda took your “i taught myself english from a young age” for alejandro’s chunk. hope that’s ok!

König

König wouldn’t react to your accent very much, unless it’s a very thick accent because then he would have trouble understanding you.

If your accent is thick, he probably asks you repeat yourself a couple of times; English isn’t his first language either, so I can imagine maybe a couple of times you both sit there in silence with each other because neither of you guys can understand each other. He has a semi-thick accent, too.

Sometimes, he does understand you but he just wants to hear you continue to talk.

Maybe König and you practice English together, while teaching each other your native languages on accident. You guys didn’t mean to, but you end up trying to explain what a word is in your different languages and by the end of it, you begin to understand full sentences in german; the same for him with your language.

He considers this a bonding experience :)

Ghost

Like König, he probably wouldn’t react to your accent too much unless it was incredibly thick. Ghost has met all different types of people and his native language is English, so he has a better understanding of what you’re trying to say, but he pokes fun at you like he pokes fun at Soap.

On the topic of Soap, you two together is his worst nightmare.

“Speak English.” Is his favorite phrase when you are speaking English, but your accent is just overpowering literally everything.

You like to throw his words back into his face when he says some sort of British slang—you get a surprisingly loud chuckle out of him when you pick up some of his slang. He thinks it’s funny whenever anyone who isn’t British begins to talk like him.

If Ghost isn’t already fluent in your language, he pretty much becomes damn near fluent by the time you’ve known him for a good couple of months. He picks this stuff up easily.

Soap

Oh, this would be actual hell on Earth. Not for you two, but for the others.

Soap doesn’t comment on your accent initially, but you two begin to share a brain cell and a half (on accident) when Ghost’s eyes show visible frustration.

“He can barely understand me, the two of’us will be a real party trick!”

You and Soap gang up on everyone else if your accent is thick. He understands the frustration of people not understanding you.

Sometimes it takes Soap a moment to process what you’re saying, but he only asks you to repeat yourself a couple of times. (He has a good method of deciphering words, even if he cannot understand through an accent).

Soap likes to teach you his Scot phrases and you teach him your own in return.

Price

He gives you an eyebrow raise as a reaction, but that’s about it. Price has worked with so many people all over the world, he doesn’t really care to comment on your accent.

Price has gotten pretty good at understanding thick accents through the years, so he probably only asks you to slow your speaking when giving him a verbal report about something.

Price 100% is the type to accidentally pronounce something wrong but say it with full confidence and you always correct him, leaving him dumbfounded.

“My lips just don’t move that way, love.”

It’s likely he’s fluent in your language so he doesn’t mind if you talk to him in it; just give him a few seconds to translate in his head, okay?

Alejandro

If you meet outside of a total progressional setting, he probably has the most reaction to your accent out of anyone.

Alejandro’s language is a very big part of him so he assumes it’s the same for anyone else.

Alejandro doesn’t have an incredibly thick accent, but he knows people who do and he’s known them for years, so it’s easier for him to understand than a lot of other people.

If you taught yourself English and you end up pronouncing something wrong, Alejandro casually corrects you to help you out. He doesn’t make a big deal out of it either, he knows sometimes people get embarrassed from it. His first language isn’t English either, so he understands the struggle.

He DOES start laughing if you try to pronounce something that you so clearly cannot, even after being corrected.

Now it's YOUR turn for a writing prompt 🫵

💪 - bridal carry with Mario/Daisy (as a ship if that's okay, or as friends if it's not) or Luigi/Daisy if you'd prefer that ship.

OR

🩸 - patching up a wound with Mario/Daisy (ship or friends, whichever you'd prefer doing)

oop 😳

i'll go for 💪 and I'm gonna try Mario/Daisy! They'll still retain the dynamic I established in my headcanons, but add in a pinch of pining Daisy (and mayhaps a pining Mario ;))

==

Mario knew it would happen. In what world did Daisy think she could drive around Luigi's circuit while standing on her motorcycle? And with her dress? He swore if she weren't as beautiful as she was, he would've been facepalming a lot harder.

Daisy knew exactly what was coming. Mario had been racing on the track with her when the accident happened. He was going to come over and go on and on about telling her so, that she was careless to have steered the motorcycle to the dash panels. She didn't even remember what she was trying to prove. She just knew she had to get up quickly and walk off her injuries before she wouldn't hear the end of it from Mario. But it was too late; she could already hear his distinct footsteps rushing in the grass.

"Daisy-"

"I'm fine. I just..." Daisy grabbed onto the nearby fence, squeezing her eyes shut at the surprisingly great effort it took to stand up. Why does it hurt so much? Where's my crown? Is Mario gone? Please go away, Mario.

Daisy heard a dreaded crack coming from her leg. Shit-

Daisy's knees buckled, and she collapsed onto the ground once again. She didn't even want to see the damage waiting for her underneath her skirts. She grumbled more expletives, sitting back up to go for attempt number two. But before she could do so, she felt one arm around her waist, and another go under her legs, easily lifting her up from the ground. She looked up to come face-to-face with Mario, a little too close. But she supposed Mario didn't feel the same, because he just smiled gently at her.

"You can ask for help, you know. I'm not in your life just for decoration."

Daisy blinked a few times before hesitantly bringing her arms around Mario's shoulders. She strangely found it hard to tear her eyes away from those royal blue eyes. "Eh heh... right."

Mario's smile grew. He adjusted Daisy in his arms, pulling her closer. "Come on. I'm taking you to your castle to get ya fixed up."

"On foot?" Daisy's eyes widened. "Sarasaland is practically lightyears away from here!"

"Won't be a problem. I've walked further." Boy have I walked further. "Besides, you're lighter than a feather."

Daisy gawked. "I am not! I am perfectly in the range of weight for women my age." She huffed, crossing her arms. "You're just strong as hell for no reason."

"D'aww, you think I'm strong?" Mario cooed, getting close to Daisy's face to tease her. "Am I your big, strong, dashing cavalier?"

Daisy's face became a brighter red at the closer proximity of their faces. She hissed and turned her head, pretending to frantically claw at his face to back him up. "Never in a billion years! Caviar is disgusting! Sushi is way better."

Mario stifled a laugh, forgetting she didn't know the meaning of the word. He noticed that she didn't exactly deny what he said before that, but he'd keep that to himself for now; he had a hurt princess in his arms. "Okay then, Princess. I'll be your big and strong sushi. And by the way, I'm taking you on my kart, not walking. Seems all logic escaped that pretty little head of yours when you took that hit."

Pretty? Daisy shook her head, willing her face to not be as red as Mario's cap. "Whatever. Just take me back to my castle."

Mario gave Daisy an expectant look with a raised eyebrow.

"....pleeeeeeaaaaseeeeeeeee?"

He smiled, and pulled Daisy close to his chest once again and walking to his kart. Ti ho presa, bellezza.

We must be psychically linked for real cause I was just thinking of the dark au and you start working on it again LMAO. Me personally I think reader should have some kinda mutation that allows them to copy other mutations or a time/dimension jump one so it could be revealed that oops! reader accidentally sent all of them away! And cause some big feelings in the yans, like they want to blame reader for what happened but they still love them so dearly and it wouldn’t be fair to reader who is still learning and growing their powers to be solely blamed, or it’s a wrong place wrong time type thing where reader and one of the teens powers interact in such a way that they get sent to where ever they are/stuck in the time stream a la batman the return of Bruce Wayne

Spino

That is a good idea, Spino Anon! It's really creative! I don't know if that's how I will write the au, but you have given me a thought or two on how to explain the four teens ending up in the dark future/au. I hope you are doing alright! I think as a treat, I can do a few headcanons I have for the Dark AU.... Let's do it:

• I headcanon that for the Dark AU, it's set in a reboot-esque au of X-Men Evolution, so things are mostly the same, but a little different. Such as more found family dynamics and less trying to toss children and rivals off of cliffs ( it's a reboot/retelling/reimagining due to platonic yandere stuff/adding Reader/adding more adventures/wanting to rewrite certain scenes/wanting to add further to it/etc.)

• Reader is a friend to both groups of teens, and likely joined one, if not both, at some point

• Reader took care of the others a lot. Reminding them to eat (mostly the adults for that, plus a handful of the teens, Reader would also make dinner/breakfast/snacks/treats for the platonic yans, maybe teaching a teen or two how to cook)... making art and craft projects for them (such as handmade scarves or stuffed animals, friendship bracelets and best friend necklaces, even full canvas paintings and notebooks full of sketches and drawings)... having small (platonic) dates where Reader does something they (the teen/s or adult/s) want to do, but can't do with the others or that doesn't interest the others... Reader was the sort to toss a blanket around someone if they fell asleep on the couch, made coffee or hot chocolate in the mornings/nights when it was cold, just trying to keep their friends family happy and cared for

• Reader was friends and still is in this au with the other teens who had the bad thing happen to them (being Kurt, Kitty, and Pietro). Probably was the one who played it straight between the four, still a bit more light-hearted and joking, but more toned down. I am undecided if Reader is the same age, older, or younger than them

• When the bad thing happens, let's just say the remaining X-Men and Brotherhood kinda... lost it. I mentioned before a person or multiple persons was behind what happened, but I never went into full detail on what it might have been. Whatever it was (no spoilers yet!) led the platonic yans to believe that they were dead, and that it wasn't quick or painless. They know it wasn't an accident. So they go mad with grief, in a way. They take vengeance on those who caused it, more-or-less send a message out warning what happens if anyone targets their loved ones, and (maybe?) take control over the world... Or at least parts of New York and Canada...

• The platonic yans become more... dark. If they were holding their punches before... they aren't now. They become ruthless when dealing with enemies, they learn new skills and tricks and tactics, they aren't going to let the same thing that happened in the past happen now

• I imagine that it's somewhere between three to five years before Reader and the others end up in the future/au, and they are still wounded from what happened. The worst of their wounds healed up enough, but not everything else, so they aren't as quick or as fast as they want to be when moving through the changed world around them

• When they are found to be alive and are confirmed to be the Dark AU platonic yans kids/friends/siblings, the platonic yans are hunting them down as fast as they can. They don't want them to disappear, they don't want them to die, and they aren't about to have them ripped away from them again. Even if it means they have to keep them under house arrest or sedated or otherwise...

(And this is what I can say without revealing any spoilers! Enjoy😊💛🧡🍯🐝)

[italicized-oh]

📓!!!

hiiiii sorry this took me so long to get to! i had some Irrational Fear to deal with. but i kicked its ass so we're back, baby

all right. look. we all know i have religious trauma. and so a Very large part of me wants to go back to make me an instrument (the v distorted reality fucked up timescape flashback experience jace has post-death and/or post-shatterstar). and i probably will if anyone else wants to read it lol. but!

as far as something i haven't written yet but have just been noodling on. i'm v v curious about what an amnesia fic would entail for any combo of zarajaceporter (or if i'm gonna janelle-bait then. any clone combo too). like we've done a lot of tropes so far and i am in Absolute Undying Love with every single one of them. but unless i've missed it i think it would be v v fun (and also evil) of me to write either porter or jace losing their memories post-fhjy finale. the whole coming back wrong thing, but like. coming back wrong 2: electric boogaloo. oops no memories of the One Meaningful Event that tied us together. of the years of devotion and manipulation and salvific fantasies and. well. scorching hot sex.

idk who it would be worse for in which role, but here's some initial thoughts below.

if it's porter who comes back w oops no memories. then jace is all alone w his trauma (unless zara's there but even then. she wasn't ensared by porter like jace was). like. he's carrying the weight of knowing porter, knowing porter-rage-god, and knowing this. not shell bc it's still v much porter. but it's somehow not the same porter as before bc this one knows something is missing. and lives with a hollowness inside him that makes him so, so fucking angry (at ankarna, funnily enough. some things never change). and he's so deeply in love with jace all over again, but jace has decided that This Time he won't fall into bed/love w porter again.

if it's jace, though. ohhhh boy. i almost feel ashamed of how brutally naive he would be all over again. if you're a jaceclone enjoyer, think j2's whole deal. like. do we watch him fall for porter all over again? does this jace inherently distrust porter for some reason unknown to him? does this jace know why porter looks at jace like porter's expecting jace to stab him or mind sliver him at any moment? does this jace even care? like, idk, it might actually be good in a twisted kind of way, because porter gets a do over and jace doesn't have to have literally been consumed and used up by a rage monster. hmmm. i don't think jace is angry, though. i think he's secretly relieved, because context clues and the haunted look in porter's eyes are plenty. he doesn't need to remember (bc in my heart and my headcanons jace is at his core a coward. not in a really derogatory way, just in a. that man has no spine. only under the Most Extreme circumstance will he stand up to someone.)

anyways tl;dr: amnesia fic featuring so, so much pining, theorizing about what it means to come back wrong but at least you came back, and the question of whether it's better to remember or not remember the years of your life when your mind and body were not your own. oops now we're into my trauma personally so im gonna end it here. hope this entertains! <3

-----------------------✰----------------------

your school had an internship program.

basically, during the last few weeks of the year, everyone in your grade was matched up with a company to go be interns!

and sometimes that led to summer jobs which was cool

anyways so you were pretty excited

you had been looking forward to getting your assignment for a while now.

you had told the people who assigned the internships that you were interested in law, and you were holding out for a good assignment

but you were kind of worried because a lot of people were interested in law as well

so finally the day came

and you were confused to see someplace called “nelson, murdock, and page” listed there

like who the heck were these people

even worse, a couple of the really egocentric & mean kids got internships at landman & zack.

LANDMAN & ZACK

and they were really rubbing it in.

“y/n, where did you get assigned?”

“uh.. nelson, murdock, and page.”

“huh, never heard of them. i got assigned to landman and zack!!! aren’t you happy for me?”

blech

anyway the first day that you were supposed to go came finally

the one upside to being assigned to nelson, murdock, and page was that it was fairly close to where you lived

like only a block or two!!

you honestly weren’t sure what to bring so you kind of overpacked

well not crazy but still

you probably wouldn’t need three packs of pencils AND two staplers

but hey, this was new york! anything could happen.

you took a deep breath as you walked in, and as you approached the door, you could hear what sounded like an argument inside.

“listen karen, i’m not gonna take it anymore! the shamrock shake is gross!!”

btw i agree with that statement not that it’s relevant but still its nasty spearmint is blech

oop back to what i was writing

“foggy, you’re wrong. it’s what really makes spring for me!!”

“hey, you two. there’s someone outside.”

and just like that, the two who were arguing turned to face the door. 

you gave a sheepish wave, embarrassed that you hadn’t just walked in.

“aw, no way!! are you the intern? uhm… your name… uh..” said the shamrock shake hater

“y/n.” said another man, the peacekeeper, it seemed. 

you had remembered the internship assigner telling you one of the lawyers was blind

and judging by the red glasses, this was the one.

“yeah, that’s me. you must be murdock… i think.”

“call me matt.” he said, extending a hand for you to shake.

then the woman, (shamrock shake lover), also extended her hand.

“i’m karen. it’ll be nice to have someone new around here!!”

“yeah”, said the shamrock shake hater, “nice to have someone to do all the filing!”

“oh.. filing?” you asked, brow furrowing. 

you could feel yourself deflating a little bit.

“don’t worry, there’ll be plenty of interesting stuff for you to do y/n.” matt spoke, a small smile on his face.

“foggy, how about you show them how to do it?” karen said right after, pointing at shamrock shake hater.

foggy, now.

“aw, karen!! you know i’m no good at filing!!”

“that’s a lie. you just pretend to be bad at it to get out of doing it.” karen replied, and matt nodded.

a big dramatic sigh from foggy

“al-RIGHT, al-RIGHT! jeez. c’mon y/n. seems like we have work to do!!”

you couldn’t help but laugh bc these people were ridiculous

in a good way

at least for now!

turns out foggy WAS good at filing

and apparently you were too!!

he made a game out of it to see who could unlock the cabinet & put the folder in the right spot first

and not to brag, but you always won :) 

he even bet his lunch that you couldn’t beat his time!

“don’t mess with them, foggy. i think they’ve shown they can run circles around you.” karen laughed as he challenged you

and yet he still did it!!!

and you won!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!

so you had a delicious sandwich & chips for lunch courtesy of foggy nelson :D 

the rest of the day was pretty nice too

like most of it was filing but matt told you about some of the cases they were working on

and karen was so sweet like y’all were gossiping fr

she told you about all the crazy stuff that happened at the firm

and honestly, you were so glad you had been assigned to this firm

because were the people at landman & zack having this much fun???

no i don’t think so!!!

plus it helped that they all hated landman and zack too

foggy told you all about how stuffy and uptight everyone was there

so it was kind of a relief!

[beneathashadytree]

Hello there I found your blog and was wondering if you still do KnB requests been a bit sad lately with all sorts of different situations. Mostly because of insomnia and depression probably a bit of the jitters if you know what I mean. I would like request comfort headcanons Idk anything easy and convenient for you with the Takao or Midorima (whichever is easier for you to write) mostly cause I want to sleep so maybe I can read them lull their SO to sleep you know that fluffy goodness to help cheer me up. Does that make me weird? Idk. Sincerely Anon.

SOOTHING - MIDORIMA SHINTAROU X READER

Warnings : none I believe, this is set during college, Midorima is a pre-med student, this is not proofread, reader is gender-neutral!

Genre : comfort and fluff <3

Word count : 1.2K words (oops hehe)

Additional notes : So sorry for taking so long, nonnie! I’m sure by now you know how things have been for me. I was halfway through this when I realized that you’d asked for headcanons, and by then I was in far too deep to stop🫣 Given how soft I am for Midorima, I decided to choose him! I hope that—despite being so late—this request offers you some semblance of comfort 💗

Requests : Are closed for the time being.

Masterlist

A groan came from their right, causing them to still in place and awkwardly twiddle their thumbs around their phone. Though they hoped that they hadn’t woken Shintarou up, they could tell from the stirring that it was too late to lament that.

“It’s not the brightness,” he mumbled, before they could apologize for their phone’s screen. “Just didn’t feel you close.”

“Aha,” they quietly said, knowing that their lover was referring to the way they usually curled into the warmth of his chest and never let go—something that they haven’t done in over a month, maybe. That was something they ought to remedy now.

Really, it was completely out of their hands. After all, they couldn’t even remember the last time they’d gotten a good night’s sleep while cuddling Shintarou. That was partially owed to the fact that he was too much of an early riser to wait up for them in bed, and was almost always found passed out under the covers before the clock struck 10.

The other reason (that also contributed to the former) was that they simply could never fall asleep so easily anymore. No matter how much they tired themself out, how many glasses of warm milk and chamomile tea they had, how many damned sheep they had to count behind closed eyelids, sleep just never came to them. Only when they’d bored themself halfway to death did their body sometimes give up on resisting the urge, and they woke up a disoriented mess a couple of hours later. Needless to say, it was never enough.

Their growing insomnia seemed to drag along with it a whole bunch of other symptoms that made their overall day-to-day life all the more tiring. Constantly feeling weary, they barely trudged through their daily routines and ran on 2-4 hours of sleep a day, if any at all. They couldn’t pull themself to brush their teeth in the morning without a sigh, nor could they shower without feeling their muscles ache from disuse.

And what probably pained them the most? Their tired, tired heart. There was a certain desolation in every chamber; some sort of numbness they just couldn’t fight back. It threatened to choke them every single time they gasped around its cloaked darkness, and struggled to stay afloat under its influence.

God, how they wished that Shintarou was around more often. To their disappointment (that they tried their utmost to shove below the surface), ever since the new college year had started, his time had been split between spending it studying as hard as it took him to maintain his excellent scores, and at strenuous basketball practices—trainings hard enough to have him barely conscious as he walks through the door at night.

It’s not like he was neglectful. If anything, he was just as (to some, surprisingly) wonderful of a boyfriend as he’d always been, but he just seemed far too drained these days to notice much changes in his partner. He’d greet them with an “I’m home,” before helping himself to a belated lunch that they’d prepared for him. He was an awful cook, so he never offered to help out with that, but he did always contribute to the rest of the household chores despite how exhausted he always was.

Really, Shintarou wasn’t just thoughtful in that subconscious way. Though he still struggled with receiving and doling out the affection he felt deep in his heart in direct ways, he made sure to softly kiss them at least once or twice a day, with that subtle quirk of his lips that they happened to love far more than his rather cocky smirk on the court.

As always, he was ever-so-attentive over meals, tired eyes still trained on his sweetheart as he listened to whatever stories they had to tell, pitching in every now and then with his commentary. And when they turned to him with an encouraging sweet smile of their own, he’d be flushing to his ears and haltingly retelling some events of his own, encouraged by the love he knew awaited him.

So really, it wasn’t his fault that they’d suffocated every terrible thought and feeling in front of him, and that they took advantage of his early sleep schedule to hide their insomnia. But they did feel guilty that he had to find out in such an irritating way like this: abruptly woken up by his partner’s phone screen lit up in his face.

Shintarou didn’t bother to wear his glasses, probably knowing that he wouldn’t last long. He never was the type to stay awake during the night, so he simply resigned himself to leaning over, gently taking their phone and setting it on their bedside table. His body was warm against their back, and they couldn’t help but involuntarily lean into him—something he clearly encouraged, as the distance between them became all that much smaller.

Pressed into his chest like that, they could feel something thawing deep inside of them. Something rock-hard melted in the pit of their stomach, and for some reason it felt a little easier to breathe. They couldn’t stop themself from twisting around and facing him, tired eyes meeting his bleary ones.

He cleared his throat twice, before asking, “Can’t sleep?”

After a few seconds of contemplating their options, they decided that there really was no point in hiding it any longer. They nodded. “Yeah. Haven’t been able to sleep since… I think it was the start of the season.”

A crease formed between his eyebrows as he put two and two together. “That’s been more than a month.”

Shrugging, they just opted to wrapping their arms around him and indulging in his warmth. With careful, steady hands, Shintarou began to finger through their hair. It was a little awkward, given how stiff his approach was, but it was endearing nonetheless. If nothing else, they could feel the love at his fingertips.

It was surprisingly soothing, and almost like magic, they could feel the knots in their muscles come undone. “Tell me what you took in class today.”

He gave them a skeptical look. “Are you sure you want to know about something so boring like that?”

“‘S exactly what I need to fall asleep,” they replied, pausing for a second to press a kiss to his sternum above his sweatshirt. “Besides, nothing’s boring when it comes from you. I could honestly listen to you read an IKEA table instruction manual.”

“Flattery will get you nowhere,” came his muffled reply from above, though they could barely see out of the corner of their eye the faint blue on his cheeks and the half-smile on his face as his hands trailed to their hips. Still, as they knew quite well, he could never refuse any request of theirs.

So, with a resigned sigh and a squeeze to their hips, he pulled them just the tiniest bit closer, close enough so that they could smell his perfume they always said they liked. Already, they could feel their eyelids drooping against their will, driven into a cocoon of comfort and familiar heat that lulled them to an easy sleep in the arms of the man they loved so dearly.

“First class of the day was Chemistry, with an advanced approach to sulfur and its derivatives…”

Kazuichi for the ask game ;)

oh my goodness.........KAZ MY BELOVED. i've spent well over 2 hours non stop writing all of this out lol help me😭 i love him so much, he is my favourite character of everything ever, so thank you very much for asking about him!! i hope this is enjoyable to read, and to anyone who doesn't like him all that much, maybe reading this will change your mind! :) <3<3<3

favourite thing about them: so many things, he is so so so special to me!!!! he also partially reminds me of myself, and i am very attached to him :) i love his character design (and i love that it's explained yknow? it's not like oh yeah he has naturally pink hair for no reason), i love his voice and speech patterns, i love how clingy he is, how realistically scared he is compared to some other characters considering he took part in a literal killing game, how smart he is, how 'normal' his talent is (it's a realistic talent idea for a school like hopes peak, its a normal talent someone could develop after years of working in their family's shop, and its academic so the school would want him yknow? like no offense to e.g. mondo, i love him but why would they want a biker gang leader in a school like that lol😭) anyway i'm already rambling and im only on the first question oops lol. final favourite thing to mention is his tiny braid. soooo cute n silly. and i love his earrings. and how one sleeve of his jumpsuit is cuffed higher than the other. okay no i need to stop rambling now

least favourite thing about them: i don't like how he's so often dismissed as just a comedy character or a pervert or whatever. i wish he'd been written in a little more depth so he could be given a chance by fans who automatically dislike him. i love him so much and i want everyone to experience the joy of loving him!!! he is a sweetheart inside i promise

favourite line: engines revving!!!!! ✊😛✊ lol i also like i'll bury you and your hamsters 6 feet under!!!! and general gundham insults they all make me giggle

brotp: literally EVERYONE omg, i love his friendship potentials with the whole sdr2 cast! buuut some i particularly enjoy are ibuki, fuyuhiko, akane and mahiru :) kaz and ibuki would be so SILLY together i love them, i wrote a pekobuki fic with her and kaz being bffs and it was so much fun to write! she would love to put his hair into fun styles and paint his nails :) fuyuhiko aaa i love them together (also love them as a ship) i like the idea of fuyu being the voice of reason between them, telling kaz off when he needs to and keeping him grounded in reality! akane would sooo be like a sister to him i love her, they would get into lots of mischief together, have food fights, wrestle in mud etc lol. then mahiru aww also so like a sister to him, but akane is more like a twin and mahiru more like a big sister :) mahiru would help him look after himself, help him comb chewing gum out of his hair if hiyoko sticks it in there lol etc. also love him and nekomaru as friends too and ughh i could literally list every character here with a specific headcanon for their dynamic

otp: i'm gonna have to say soudam!! i absolutely adore them, they're so sweet and i think about them all the time :) they could be so good for each other if they settled their differences. one of my favourite dynamics is that gundham has feelings for him but kaz is just too silly to notice lol. i've published 9 fics on ao3 so far, 4 of which are soudam, including a 5-chapter fic (i normally just write oneshots, and the only other future multi chapter fics i have basic mental plots for are also soudam lol so you can tell i love them) they are just so special to me :) some other kaz ships i enjoy are him with fuyuhiko(!!), hajime, and i also quite like him with nekomaru too! :) and my fave non sdr2 ship for him is leon, their ship name is bubblegum rock, isn't that just the cutest name ever?!

notp: if there's gonna be a notp it's gonna have to be sounia, i love them both dearly as characters but just not together. my interpretation of his crush on her is that he is gay, and uses her as a fake crush to hide his sexuality to avoid getting bullied, and his reasoning is that she's a very conventially attractive blonde PRINCESS, nobody would question him for having a crush on her, right?? hence why he finds her hobbies weird etc and doesn't show an interest other than "wow she's so hot" lol. i don't think he realises at ALL how uncomfortable he makes sonia, he's just glad that she doesn't like him so he doesn't have to actually be in a relationship (my 5 chapter soudam fic started with this idea by the way!) and i like to think that if she sat down with him and properly explained why it's not right, he'd cave in and come out and apologise a lot and cry :( also think his treatment of her is partly just, he doesn't understand social cues and social norms very well (me too kaz me too) so he just is doing his best to appear normal :'(

random headcanon: when he listens to music, he sings and dances around his room with a hairbrush!!! but he would be VERY embarrassed if anyone found out :) i have lots of silly little headcanons like this for him that im probably going to post one day! i just think about him 24/7 so i have lots of things like this to say

unpopular opinion: i've seen quite a few people headcanon him as having adhd before, but i personally see him closer to being autistic! not sure really why, i just do! :)

a song that you associate with them: even though he's my favourite character ever i still found this super tricky to answer, song questions don't come easily to me i guess. but! my favourite artist right now is poppy, so "immature couture" by poppy! she has lots of different genres of songs but this one is SO girly and camp and i think kazuichi would love it and secretly listen to it a lot and dance around his room with his hairbrush microphone :'))) here's a link to the song!

favourite picture of them: SO TRICKY ummm my favourite sprite is the engines revving one lol with his tongue out but also love the beanie down over the eyes scared one. i love so many pictures but as a soudam shipper i suppose i will say this one bc ughhh they are just too cute!!:

some honourable mentions are his chapter 2 diner picture looking out of the window, his pictures in the chapter 1 party, and all of those anime screenshots like there's one of everyone on the beach where he's being buried by sonia and chiaki, one where he's at the top of a christmas tree next to gundham a picnic one etc. i love them all (i haven't seen the anime so no idea where these bits come in but i haven't seen scenes surrounding them just singular pictures?)

this was so FUN!!! ihad plans to write fanfic tonight but im glad i spent my time doing this bc it was so much fun, thank you for submitting him :D there's one more character in my inbox but it's midnight for me rn so i will either do it later tonight after a break or in the morning, if anyone else would like to submit a character for me to talk about that would be awesome!!

[weirdthoughtsandideas]

I asked in a poll recently when you thought Jim and Yam started dating, and the majority thought around season 3. I think so, too.

And after growing up with all of these dcla "su historia" videos (Leonetta su historia my beloved) I am... not gonna make a video for Jam because I am very lazy (but I hope to one day make a crack-like video with just moments from them, or just an SL "gay moments" in general). But what I am gonna do is a bit of a ~three part analysis~ where each part covers one season. Why? Because I feel like it.

Remember though, that this is my personal takes. I know very well there's other takes on the characters out there... and my takes may not always match with your takes. Especially if you're a canon Jim and Yam shipper - I am, as stated by the obvious, not. I will go from non-canon takes, which means I'll read in the scenes in the "subtext" and not particularly always how "canon meant it". This does not mean I am "not aware" how the scenes were "supposed" to be interpreted - I am just simply interpreting them the way that personally fits with my headcanons. But even if you're a Jam truther, some takes you still might not agree with, idk. Again, we all have different takes on the characters. I know I don't have to explain this, but just in case ;)

So, without further ado, it is time for part 1:

The Love Story of Jim and Yam

Part 1: Comphet, friendship songs and unknowing crushes

We start off in episode 2, where we are first introduced to the girls. They have seemingly spent much of their summer vacation together. Wakeboarding, surfing, done a lot of water activities in general for some reason (help did they go to Cielo Grande over the summer or?? /j). It's implied that they at least have spent a lot of time together, possibly been seeing each other almost every day. So even if they were close before, they have really gotten close now.

We find out that they have a sort of odd beef with Ramiro. Whatever went down with them before the show, we can only speculate. My own headcanon is that they got to know him in middle school - Ramiro himself always wanted to be cool and thought that he could impress the girls who were a year younger than him. They instead just got mad at him and found him annoying, which only encouraged him to continue. When he graduated from middle school, they felt relief, they weren't gonna see him again. But then they started Blake and, oops, he's a student there too! And then they went to check out Jam and Roller - oopsie, he's there too! He's everywhere, they can't escape him! So, well, they started this unwritten competition against him to always be better, and Ramiro enjoyed the heck out of it.

Now, the girls have always heard that "love always starts with bickering" and people have joked that "oh, but you must actually love Ramiro, I bet you even have crushes on him", "no, I think he likes you, that's why he's acting like that" - you know, stuff people often say when a boy and a girl are arguing. Hearing people say that, it took a toll especially on Yam. She did not want to even hear that Ramiro could possibly like her. The thought made her very uncomfortable and made her have a harsher approach if he even hinted at liking her.

That is not the look of "omg he likes me? <3" it's the look of "please don't say you're in love with me, stop being that preferably yesterday". She has always been quite honest with her feelings, saying what she thinks even if it sounds a bit harsh, and she wants to make it as clear as possible to Ramiro that she does not like him like that.

Yam has always known that she is a lesbian, or have at the very least discovered it quite recently about herself. But at this point in the show, it's not that she refuses to acknowledge it, it's more that she is stuck in the heteronormative society that is Disney Channel Writing her group of friends. This also makes her doubt herself at times - "what if i'm not a lesbian and just fooling myself?" - which is something we'll get into. One thing she does feel though, is that Jim is a lesbian too. Yam has, in my headcanon and opinion, the best gaydar out of everyone. She knows that a lot of her friends aren't straight, but they have not come to terms with it yet. She also can figure out if someone is not queer. A joking example I did was this. She can't say it to them, they have to discover it on their own, but she is happy to help them on the way. Especially help Jim on the way.

As we've established, Yam does not just see Jim as her best friend, but she's also very much in love with her. But I don't think she just knows it right away, as you might expect her to. She just... gradually gets there. I do think that during the summer vacation before the show, a small crush started to sparkle inside of her, but she did not think as much about it at the time. Then, as the school year started, she started realizing it more and more.

The first hint of this I would say when Yam found out Jim was skating with Nico. She acted like Jim had gone behind her back and she appeared quite... jealous over it. I cannot interpret this in any other way than Yam wanting to skate with Jim herself. I don't know if it was a rule they had to skate boy-girl in that competition, but I did watch those eps not TOO long ago, and I really do not recall that was a rule. If it was... I am sorry that I will get the info all wrong now. But nonetheless, the way she acts just feels like the most logical explanation would be that she wanted to skate with Jim herself.

The way she instantly gets jealous when Jim expresses interest in Nico or Ramiro (especially Ramiro). Of course, this is also a mix of her not understanding what people see in the "annoying boy Ramiro", and her just wanting Jim to realize she's a lesbian without telling her she's a lesbian directly... but I also think Yam wants Jim to think of her like that.

But, Yam also just wants the best for Jim. So, after a while, she decides to help her out on these boy adventures, no matter how silly she thinks they are. She sees it as a bit of an experiment - even if she's fairly sure she's a lesbian, with all of the heteronormative shit around her, she's at times doubting. Also, "she's never been with a boy so maybe try it out?" (we'll get more of this later). But the flirting ways are very much not from experience but rather what Yam (and Jim) thinks boys like. And they are very picky with them too. Hmm...

Off topic but Yam said this in a scene while they were discussing romance while wiggling her eyebrows after every other word. I just needed to say this because I don't know where to put it otherwise.

I think when Yam fully realizes her crush on Jim is here:

She got so excited over Jim she hugged Ramiro. And this part after really makes me convinced she just realized her feelings.

"Oh, wait... okay... let's deal with this later."

Yam continues to also be quite uncomfortable when boys are romantic towards her during the season. To not waste too many pics due to tumblr's picture limit, here is another moment of her gay panicking. Also this moment. If she didn't like boys before she certainly does not now.

Now, Jim... sweet Jim. Jimmygirl is in a deep field of comphet. She just has not come to the terms that she even could be a lesbian - she just knows that she wants a relationship. She wants to feel "normal". The only thing is that she sort of... is picking boys to be in love with instead of actually being in love with them.

This full scene is essentially a case of Yam trying to make sense of Jim's comphet behavior btw. Anyway - Jim here thinks Yam should be in love with someone, so "why not just pick Nico?", as if, you know, you can just pick whoever you like.

Also... just this little part here:

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Anyway, Jim's comphet really shines through with Nico. You could think it's just a "young girl crushing on an older boy and being nervous about it", but... to me, there's something more. Especially when Jim, immediately after she officially starts dating Nico, says this:

The show never really explicitly says what this weird feeling means. But considering events in S2, which I'll get to when we come there, I'd say this is the first step of Jim realizing that dating men is just not really her thing... though, she has a long way to go. Right now, she's still in the moment of wanting a boyfriend, liking the idea of a boyfriend, so she still does things that would get his attention (like having a fake boyfriend at Ámbar's party, etc)

Also, Jim is just as obsessed with Yam as Yam is of her. One example of this is when Yam was mad at her ONE (1) time.

It's literally to the point where she won't move until Yam talks to her. She cannot handle Yam being mad at her.

And do we even have to discuss what Yam did when Jim was mad at her? That is one scene I know we have discussed a LOT. Girl was serenading her a LOVE SONG. Also, Yam's face when Tamara gal pals them is hilarious.

The girls, besides being obessed with each other, are absolutely in love with Felicity. Especially Jim. Like, Jim is... she just needs to hear Felicity's name and she comes dashing like a bullet. Also, this is her face when she saw Felicity perform:

Same, Ramiro.

Speaking of Ramiro! How is Yamiro going in to all of this? "If Yam is such a lesbian, why does she date Ramiro?" You could actually argue that the girls may be bi/pan. I have a lot of characters I headcanon as bi/pan, but Yam is not one of them for me.

As mentioned, the comphet around her makes her, too, fall victim of it. And she has been hearing for so long that "but Ramiro likes you", "Come on, admit you do like him a little!", "Just give him a chance, ok?". And Yam has fought and fought all season, and eventually... she feels, alright, let's get over my stubbornness... and she realized Ramiro is actually an ok guy when he wants to be. And people more or less push her to pursue a relationship with him. However... as soon as they start dating, she argues with him constantly. There is not a single scene I recall where they didn't bicker about something during their S1 dating period. Yam, like Jim, feels like something is off, but she feels it much stronger. She realizes, what she wants is just to be friends with Ramiro, not more. She doesn't like him that way. She doesn't like boys that way - who is she fooling? And it's almost like she waits for an opportunity to break up with him, which comes at the end of the season when he and Jim is about to leave Jam and Roller. When they come back, Yam is SO happy for Jim and forgives her immediately.

But with Ramiro...

Ramiro is confused and he wonders why they can't be back together. And in that scene, it really feels like Yam is trying to come out to him and he just does not get it. It's a long scene, so I just link it here.

Yam is just very unsure about dating Ramiro. If you're wondering why she went back to him at the end of season 2? Well, I'll talk about that when I get there, but it's a bit of a relapse and kind of, again, people pushing her towards him (I just gotta say, people do argue a lot about who pushed who to date who, but I personally feel like Yam got pushed a lot to date Ramiro. Which is something that will play into her behavior towards him in season 3).

Another thing - Jim and Yam really look up to Mora. We're much in agreement that Mora is a lesbian and dating Ana, that's just a fact. I think that she was someone Yam especially felt a kind of a kinship with. Mora understood her, she helped her with her designs, she was an adult who just got her. Mora was kind of a gay mentor for her. For both of the girls. She also made them realize that you don't have to live with a man and get children in a normative life. There's other ways to live your life. I think she was what they needed, much more than just a designer to look up to.

So where does Jim and Yam at the end of the season? Well, their final scene together is this one, where they sneak off behind the lockers. They more or less summarize their whole plot this season with this:

They leave the season as they started - as very close besties. But, after the events that occured, and discoveries that they made about themselves, they might be more.

During the upcoming year in season 2, they have yet to start dating, but this time they are more aware about their feelings for each other. Of course, there is a million things more to say about season 1. With 80 episodes, there is neverending content and we'd be here practically all day and night. So for now, I'll end this.

Stay tuned for part 2!

Edit: Part 2 here

[masschase]

actually i can’t remember if you’ve talked about this before so apologies in advance, but #14 for the ask meme: what voice does casey have in-game and do you headcanon her with a different voice? and if you have already answered that, i’m curious about your voiceclaims for your other OCs

Sorry this took a while; I have a fever and it's confusing me as to what I'm doing rn...

Unsurprisingly I'm going to answer both 😅

Boss ask meme

14. Which voice does your Boss have? Or if you imagine them speaking differently to one of the in-game voices, describe it.

So I think I answered this at some point but it was pretty brief. Casey's voice is SR3/4 Female Voice 1, the Laura Bailey voice. Apparently that voice is not so popular 😅 but it's how I've always imagined her. In 2 I play with the other Female voice 1 but hc she sounds the same as 3/4. I guess it's probably a little different in my head to in-game just because I've written as her vastly more than I've played as her by this point.

In SR1 I never attempted to remake "unnamed SR4 Boss" as she was at the time, I had a different Boss entirely. But I imagine her voice just sounding appropriately younger; a little higher pitched and when talking for extended periods, probably a little more timid too, though obviously the one-liners we hear in-game are her at her most confident.

I think we can assume the Stilwater accent is similar to Detroit, but her mom was from a different area of Michigan and in terms of later in life she has been heavily influenced by living in Steelport and Washington so I think her accent is pretty mixed. In terms of how Michigan I imagine it she definitely says stuff like didja, toldja, meetcha, y'guys instead of y'all, ope instead of oops, and Matt teases her over "meer" and "cloze". She doesn't have the vowel rotations like "melk", "stahp" though, I think her mom did though so she actually finds that pretty grating.

So yeah; she probably sounds a little different in my hc but I did study the LB voice lines as much as possible... the videos are just loooooong 😅

22. Another question not listed here: Do you have voiceclaims for your other OCs?

Pretty much all of my OCs have voices in my head but I don't think I have voice claims for most of them.

Mori is a difficult one because he's one of my most important OCs and I have a clear idea but no voice claim. In terms of tone I always imagine his voice being similar to the friend I based him off, whose voice has been likened to JJ Olatunji/KSI, but Mori is not British; his accent would be Stilwater but with several words pronounced with a Bajan inflection as he lived in Barbados for the first 11 years of his life.

Nessa's voice claim is KO/Karen Olivo because the minute I named the character Vanessa I couldn't help but associate her with Vanessa from In The Heights, and KO originated that role.

Rhys only has one line in my fanfic which is a very smooth "Mi rey." when he finally sees Pierce again. I'm tempted to say he sounds the same as his faceclaim Laith Ashley. His voice when speaking Spanish is how I imagined, maybe slightly different when speaking English, but he has a nice voice, I think it works.

Charlie's from East London so think the cockney male voice in a higher register. They're AFAB on a microdose of T.

I haven't really given Ward a voice yet but later I might have a walk around in SR2 and the first npc voice that suits him, I'm going to steal 🤣

Jenny is from Laredo, Texas and I described her as having a "gentle southern drawl.". She is obviously hugely rich and successful but unlike Casey she will not let her accent be influenced. She remembers her roots.

Daniel (the only fanfic featured OC I didn't draw for the pride thing) is also really important but... I guess I just imagined whatever "American kid" voice my brain thought of when writing him. I'll have to think about teen/adult Daniel!

I'm sure I'll be ridiculous enough to give all the Saints' kids voices eventually 😅

[raelly-writing]

Running on three hours of sleep due to illness so I hope this word salad makes sense. :'D

Pick up a new MMO, I thought. It'll be nice to have something to look forward to while suffering through the most soul crushing summerjob, I thought. Joke was on me.

I didn't really get into the hm... RP aspect of FFXIV until a little into HW when I started considering Viana more as a character in the narrative rather than just my PC (I came over from WoW, it took a while to adapt and get into the flow of my character actually mattering in what was going on). And I didn't really feel like I knew enough about Highlanders to really settle on anything, but didn't want to risk spoiling myself on Stormblood stuff, so I ended up just headcanoning her as a orphan from Ul'dah. (Later amending it to her parents fleeing early on in the Mad King's reign and just falling foul of Ul'dah's shadiness)

... accidentally setting myself up for a whammy of my favourite tropes: Tank couples and "Finding home in each other" friends to lovers.

So midway through Stormblood I just had a moment where I, after careful contemplation of both Aymeric and Hien, popped out of my trashcan and pointed at Thancred. "That one. I want the disaster rogue with enough emotional baggage to fill a Olympic swimming pool."

I thought Thancred was entertaining in ARR, but he really grew on me in the HW patches. His emotional journey is interesting to pick into from a writing perspective, and the pull of two people looking out for their found family amidst all the losses they suffer, and looking out for each other in small ways that grows into something more, was a appealing one to me.

Love me a LI who is hypercompetent but doesn't always see that. Like many I deal with depression and impostor syndrome, so that aspect of Thancred is very dear to me, and I'm firm in that those things just haven't magically disappeared after SHB. Even when you're doing better, everyone have bad days.

I wasn't sure until I finished Shadowbringers at which point they'd get together, seeing either the 'FWB coping - oops caught feelings' point in the HW-SB patches, or two stubborn idiots quietly pining away until SHB. Latter won out, and I think it's for the better.

Their journey from a professional merc who isn't really sure she can trust this smooth talking bard to be there when shit hits the fan, to two gunbreakers sharing the effort of keeping everyone safe and supporting one another, is fun to explore. Both the low points and high points, because they certainly argue at times, but I tend to focus on the high points because this is my comfort ship and have you seen the past four years? No idea what I would have done without them.

... also heehee, tall girlfriend, short king boyfriend.

Another random WoLQotD/OC question

I thought I'd ask this while I worked on my other questions. :)

If you're a WoL x NPC shipper, what drew you to that ship and why? What makes that ship the pinnacle for you and your oc? Is it that you love the canon character you write them with, you find their dynamic interesting or something in between?

If you're not a WoL x NPC shipper, but you have a ship with another person, how did that come about? What makes that ship fulfilling for you? Has the ship impacted your relationship with that other person? Feel free to gush, I wanna hear it!

Oh, and pictures are a must (if you have them).

Hiiiii if you dont mind I would LOVE to hear more of your pearlina moms propaganda its so good thank u. ps your off the hook magnum opus series is AMAZING

!!!!!!!!!! hang on let me think up some REALLY GOOD HEADCANONS just for you anon im so sorry it took me so long to notice this ask and also answer it,,,  (it has only been a few hours)

just like with all my moms posts (tm) this got super long it’s going under the cut. have a good meal anon

pearl and marina kept the fact that they were going to have a baby very much under wraps. tabloids spread rumors, but they just got shut down by off the hook personally. like, an article titled “off the hook spotted buying maternity wear- are they gaining another member?” gets posted on twitter or something and pearl reteweets it and she says “no, it’s for family.” or something 

of course, the article was right. it was just a secret. until they very much couldn’t hide the twins anymore… when they were five years old and had to be enrolled in school. don’t ask me how they did it.

i think it would be super sweet if everything was planned out from the start, so that’s how i write my pearlina moms. 

pearl and marina talked for a very long time about having a baby. it took three years to decide on yes and another two to get everything ready and for marina to get over her nerves… 

but everything turned out okay! :] 

when the twins are still super small, pearl likes to carry them in her sweatshirt pockets or her purse, cause they fit in there and it’s nice and comfy for good naps. if you think of her octo expansion outfit and look at her sweater she’s got a pocket there, that’s where she puts them. like a momma kangaroo! 

even when they’re teenagers pearlie still has them go swim form and crawl into her pockets when they get sleepy in public. 

even before haruko and marley were born, their moms sang to them. pearl used to press herself up to marina and sing into the light, super softly, just to make sure her babies got sleep too. it very quickly became their lullaby, not to mention it accidentally got marina to sleep too, oops…

pearl thought it was super super cute. she has videos. 

to marina holding and/or cuddling the twins is like a weighted blanket for her. it’s absolutely one of the most comforting things she’s ever experienced. she stims by scratching their backs, super gentle, and she’s very lucky that it makes both of them just melt and hug her and purr. they can’t reach their backs to scratch them, so marina doing it makes them very happy. 

octolings like to play-fight and wrestle i think, so especially when they’re little marina fake-fights her twins with just her hands to keep from hurting them and to teach them to play. once haruko bit her and marley got very upset when she pretended to die…

pearl did a lot of googling throughout the whole thing. like, take the amount that popped into your head when i said “a lot of googling”, and maybe quadruple it. and then take that amount and triple it. that’s about how much googling she did. she wanted to take the absolute best care of her wife she could, so she decided she was going to learn everything she could- good places to take her, comfortable clothing options, the bestest softest blankets to get, homemade ice cream recipes. marina would have felt a little bad, but pearl didn’t let her. 

haruko and marley are pretty much the spitting image of both their moms, so much so that once their aunt callie managed to genuinely mistake both of them for their moms at a glance more than once! they have never let her live this down <3

marina used to cradle the twins in her tentacles when she had her hands full. she owns a baby sling, she just never decided to use it. pearl gets more use out of it than she does. 

one of the first things pearl says to marley when she meets him and is no longer completely shellshocked by him existing is “why didn’t you let us see you, little guy? were you too shy to say hello?” 

(his response: rolling over and going to sleep.) 

i could say so many more but im getting carried away.

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

I like what lots of other people have said. Oops this turned into an essay so I'll hide it below the cut.

Zelda II (and probably the original Legend of Zelda, though I haven't played it) requires patience, perseverance, and skill. Some of the areas have taken me over 30 tries to get through, either because the monsters were too tough or because I had to time the jumps right. Each new item or spell opens up new possibilities, but the new areas rise in difficulty to match. Outside of towns, you can never really relax. Unless you've just cleared a cave or boss room, you are in danger. Even in the towns, some of the townspeople might be monsters in disguise. You die a lot. If you die, Ganon returns, no question. The only map or quest log you have is the one you make yourself.

We don't know a lot about Hyrule from his games' canon, but what little we do know is that he was a traveler. He saw Impa in trouble, saved her from monsters, and accepted her plea that he save Hyrule from Ganon. He somehow succeeded, stuck around to help with recovery, and then 6 years later took up Impa's (and likely Zelda's) plea for him to unite the Triforce, lift the curse on the other Princess Zelda, and restore peace to Hyrule. He succeeded again.

Along the way, he learned spells from wise Old Men. Gameplay suggests that he has a finite amount of magic himself, which he can restore by drinking potions or resting at an Old Woman's home. Unlike in many other games, using magical items doesn't appear to draw from his reserves, so it might be that they don't use much and/or that using magic for them is unconscious. One of his spells allows him to turn into a fairy. Some people use this to headcanon that he is part fae. I don't, personally, but I have no problem with it.

These, and the Linked Universe comic, all have influenced how I see Hyrule. To me, he is persistent and kind to a fault. He is a wanderer who makes his own way. He enjoys the company of others but is also used to solitude. He is good at fighting fearsome opponents, undaunted by failure, and knows his limits. He is cheerful and friendly and maybe a little socially unaware. He's humble. The potential for Ganon's return hidden in his blood is a constant source of hidden fear and anxiety, usually ignored but never forgotten. Above all, Hyrule is a Hero because he saw that he could help, so he did. I really like that about his character.

Since starting AoL, I've gradually formed an idea of what his world is like before and by the time of LU. During AoL, it is absolutely infested with monsters. There isn't a lot of arable land, the towns are tiny and isolated, and there are so. many. graves. The people are either eager to help (often in gratitude for aid given), or brusque and unwilling to chat. Old Kasuto has been overwhelmed by monsters and left desolate. There is not a single natural animal in the entire game (unless I'm missing something?) It's kind of a bleak place.

By LU, I think it's still largely barren, but it's recovering. Maybe Old Kasuto has been reclaimed, or a new town or two have been established. There are probably still monsters, but they have lost their strongholds so travel is a little safer. They probably still hunt for the hero. With two princesses, the tiny kingdom might be starting to reestablish trade and communication with its neighbors. The old palaces and dungeons might stand empty and abandoned, monsters might be gathering strength again in them, or the princesses might be repurposing them somehow.

When writing him, I would encourage you to look into his items and spells, especially from AoL since that is closer to LU's time. The Wiki has been invaluable to me. Check out his monsters too. Aaaaaa this got reallllly long so I'll stop now

Hello Linked Universe fandom. I have a question.

If Hyrule is your one of your favourite lu Links, would you please tell me why? I'd like to become more familiar with his character.

Is there something about Jojo's version you like especially? What are you're favourite headcannons? Something about him the fandom tends to sleep on?

If you've played his games, is there anything in particular you liked about them (items, characters, bosses etc.)? Anything you hope to see referenced in the comic?

If you've ever needed an excuse to gush about your blorbo, please take this as an invitation (don't fell pressured to answer every question though).

MILGRAM theory time: Haruka!

This isn't going to go super in depth (famous last words) but there's a few heavily debated parts of Haruka's MV I want to share my findings/thoughts on because I think this is my new special interest and during my quest to get best boy's song to 1 million views I have been looking over his first MV with a fine tooth comb so to speak.

Disclaimer: As the Jackalope said in the "This is the MILGRAM" trailer, we don't necessarily know everyone's crime from just the first video, its possible that a lot of things will be re-contextualized in the second MV, however I am not psychic or bilingual and thus will only be working with content released before August 20th 2021 and translated into English (which could cause some language/cultural details to be lost on me as translation is not a 1 to 1 process).

TW for discussions of ableism, child abuse, murder and animal death. Also this is really long so sorry to all the people that follow me for non-MILGRAM stuff

Firstly, I want to start on the topic of Haruka as a person. He is disabled. He does not have 'the mind of a child' (although he is 17, making him legally a minor in both North America and Japan). He is not just 'child-like'. And he is not mentally ill (well he might be, in the sense that many disabilities like Haruka's have strong comorbidities [where a person has two or more conditions but neither directly causes the other] with anxiety, depression and PTSD, but usually when I see people talk about him 'struggling with mental illness' they go on to refer to aspects of his disability). Sometimes on tumblr, people like myself, will see canonical traits written into a character and identify them as being traits associated with our disabilities/mental illness and headcanon them as such. Sometimes this even involves saying things like "It's basically canon!" Although we understand that these characters were probably not the result of a writer intending to write a disabled person. When I say that Haruka is being written as a person with a neurodevelopmental disability, I mean the writer intended to write a disabled character and wrote them in a way that they wanted the audience to pick up on. As an autistic person (which is one of many neurodevelopmental disorders and also something I probably didn't have to specify because who else would be writing an essay about a series they got into a few days ago at 11 o'clock at night) I really like how Haruka has been written so far. There's definitely some parts of him that have been exaggerated so abled normies can pick up on his disability (namely how his MV 's main motif is really child-like drawings) but the writers also included a lot of smaller details I appreciate like how it is noted he avoids eye contact when talking to other people and is depicted as nervously pulling at his sleeves in official artwork, or how he says he finds his prison uniform (which has tight straps) 'relaxing' and when he gets nervous/tense, he will dig his fingernails into the palm of his hands. (These last two potential being examples of 'self stimulation' [aka stimming] where a person seeks out specific sensory stimuli in order to help regulate their nervous system/emotions, in this case the tight uniform creates a comforting, secure feeling [you may have heard about some people preferring to sleep under weighted blankets for this reason] and digging nails into his palms sounds uncomfortable/painful but is done in an attempt to deal with a greater sensory discomfort caused by the situation/environment) I also appreciate the depth he is written with, he struggles to communicate verbally but in his MV and interactions with other inmates is shown to have insecurities, opinions and a consistent thought process (this is all basic character stuff but unfortunately not always present in disabled characters)

Also I want to add that (in terms of what we've been shown so far) Haruka did not kill anyone because of his disability/mental illness. Disabled people are not inherently more innocent than abled people. But there is no disability/mental illness where a symptom is that you kill people and real people have to live with the stigma when you speak carelessly and suggest things like "Haruka is the kind of mentally ill person who kills people as a cry for help" 🧂 (or at the very least real people have to read BS like that and cringe). TL;DR Haruka is less child-like and more onion-like (as in, he has layers) 🧅🧅🧅

Now is the actual theory stuff, oops:

Every prisoner in MILGRAM is supposed to have committed murder in some way, obviously considering Yuno just had an abortion (which i personally do not consider an act of murder) whilst Mu literally stabbed someone to death, this definition is stretched a bit. But it is not agreed upon yet who Haruka killed/how many people he killed or why he killed.

In his MV he is shown to have chased after his dog into a forest, seen something off-screen, then beaten something into a messy pulp with a rock. Some people think the dog is a red herring and that Haruka actually killed his mother/the girl from the fireworks show/his brother. I do not agree.

First: I believe Haruka when he says he doesn't have a brother. The MV literally starts by Haruka looking in the mirror and then switching between the him now

and a really similar looking younger child who just so happened to be a key feature of his memories (I don't have the vocabulary to explain it but its like cinematic parallels that establish this is the same person at different points of their life)

Its not impossible that this is Haruka's secret younger brother, but i think its unlikely. I saw someone saying they had to be different people because Haruka looks less happy than the child but like, most 17 year olds are less visibly happy than when they were 7 (or however old the child is meant to be). Life happens.

So when Haruka is shown pushing the child around and eventually strangling him, this isn't meant to be literal (homicide or suicide), but a representation of how conflicted Haruka feels about his younger self, who may have committed the murder (if you've ever been kept awake cringing at memories of something you said in the past and wishing you could go slap some sense into your former self, this is like that but 10 times more self loathing). The lyric "I am always repeating yesterday," implies he might think about this specific past event a lot.

Moving on, its pretty well accepted that Haruka's parents were abusive in some way and Haruka internalised a lot of it: he constantly apologises, he says in his interrogation questions that his one wish come true is that "[he] want[s] to be loved" and describes in his MV how when he couldn't find the words he was looking for ("you're unfair") one of his parents "would get angry at me and say “You’re hopeless.”". He seems to know its unfair but also still says he 'loves' his family, possibly mistakenly believing it is his fault, but also showing an awareness of his situation (and how his parents might behave).

Now, the MV is stylised in a way that makes certain details unclear, but there is one clear detail showing that Haruka's dog was killed

This is the first close up of Haruka and the dog. Haruka's mother is just out of frame supervising, but they look pretty happy. Notice how the puppy has a silvery chain for a collar. Somehow, this dog gets out of the house but only Haruka is shown chasing after it (whether his mother was searching elsewhere or didn't bother following her disabled son into the forest is unclear). Either way, young Haruka is now in the forest, unsupervised.

By the time he finds the dog, there is already blood, suggesting it was initally attacked by something else.

is this a sigh of relief from a boy whose finally found his beloved pet or a jealous weakling glad that nature took its course and he is finally free of that meddling mutt stealing all his mummy's attention? /j

I think this shock at the discovery that 'there is blood on his hands' could imply that rather than literally getting the blood from his dog, Haruka has seen his already injured dog and realises that if the dog got out because of him (he is previously shown to be aware his parents seem to blame him for everything) then he is the reason his dog is injured/dying and will be blamed for it. (this scene plays over the lyrics "It’s fine, though it’s really not It’s really fine, though I don’t really think so When I tried to understand it, You’ll make that disappointed face again" suggesting he is trying to avoid making his parents disappointed and letting the family pet escape into danger is something that could make them very disappointed)

now we get into rock murder (this is present-day Haruka implying that this is either: not how the scene really played out; the writers really wanting the audience to know that this was Haruka's doing and not someone else's; or this turns into a separate incident that happened much later [although note that the red sky and blue moon is the same as when young Haruka first appears at the start])

b the corpse is beyond mangled now, but its clearly the dog because the silver chain collar is still there, to the right of the body. (circled in red for your convenience :3)

My hypothesis is: Haruka didn't set out to kill his dog, but upon finding it injured (we don't know the severity aside from bleeding and also it not being able to run away from Haruka kneeling down above it w/ a big rock so it could range from treatable with a lot of vet help to already on death's door, TBH I don't think Haruka would know the difference) He knew he'd be blamed for this; made into a villain who let the poor puppy come to harm. He panicked and killed the dog out of some idea that it would make him the victim here (since he'd be found crying over a dog corpse, which might make a parent go comfort him rather than getting angry about what could've happened to the dog). This is over the lyrics: "I cried, I screamed I wanted to be a pitied and loved weakling I was in denial, I was in denial I just had to make sure I’ve become a victim, I’ve become a victim" (there's another theory that he was also jealous of the dog, which could work here too, since this is not some calculated plot; rather its a rash decision) This ties in with his Japanese song title (translated as Weakness) which is a play on a phrase sort of like "The strong eat, the weak do not" to become "The weak are eaten by society" or "The weak eat each other to survive" [once again I am reminding everyone this is based on second hand information from the youtube comments section (from users mitchki and Alphaistic) because I do not speak Japanese] This second meaning (The weak eat each other to survive) makes sense under the reading that Haruka killed his dog in order to 'survive' making his parents disappointed for the dog escaping.

Miscellaneous points:

We don't know where Haruka's necklace came from yet, it must be a gift since the most expensive thing he's ever bought was cotton candy. The younger child in the video isn't wearing it and neither is his mother or the girl in the purple dress.

Haruka's home seems quite big, at the start we can see a large flower garden outside the window and there's a forest in walking distance. This might suggest his family is quite wealthy

Haruka probably did go to school at some point as homeschooling is not a legally accepted as an alternative to public schools in Japan. (However it is estimated that up to 5000 families homeschool, this is uncommon) A lot (about 62%) of Japanese schools apparently have a 'special needs' classes and there are about 505 schools focused on educating intellectually disabled students (although I do not know which sort Haruka would've needed as whilst intellectual and development disabilities can be comorbid they aren't the same). Now, if children aged 7-14 don't go to school, their parents receive a fine, but its possible that if Haruka's parents are wealthy, they just paid it to avoid sending him to school. (This might imply they wanted to hide him or were generally ashamed of him in some way) However high school education (for students over 14) is not legally required and its likely that even if Haruka went to elementary/middle school, he hasn't been around people his own age in at least 3 years. As he seems quite lonely and glad that the other prisoners give him attention.

I don't think Haruka's parents are divorced and if they are, its not his father who left. Haruka mentions in the 30 questions that he thinks he disappointed his father. But still includes him as part of his family ("My father and mother and me"). A theory I've seen is that his father was disappointed by his son being disabled and left. but developmental disabilities (especially in non verbal and semi verbal children like Haruka) can be diagnosed before the age of 3, so I feel it is unlikely that Haruka would bring up his father if he left that early in Haruka's life

All MILGRAM prisoners have covered one of DECO*27's older vocaloid songs (DECO*27 is a well known producer who composes the music for MILGRAM) Haruka covered 'Two Breaths Walking' (https://youtu.be/puXLfVWrz2Q) which is about a boy's first relationship and how his mother's jealousy set him up for failure as the relationship becomes toxic (specifically it has some very funny out of context lines like "Whose breasts are you sucking on now?") so yeah, mommy issues: the song (Also: some people say in the song, the boy kills the girl at the end, but this isn't literal, TBW is the first of a trilogy of songs about the same relationship, it is followed by Android girl then Two Breaths Walking: Reloaded and the story resolves with the couple reuniting as adults and getting in the relationship again, although its not necessarily as abusive as before, its still implied to be codependant ending on the line 'We should live like oxygen tanks, sucking breathe from the words each of us exhale, until our last breathe')

In all seriousness, the scene where younger Haruka is walking through the city with his mother but it keeps repeating until older Haruka pulls the younger one away might indicate an attempt to focus the happier memories of his parents (since this is also over the lyrics "Why is it breaking? Tell me why? Please don’t change If I tried and couldn’t say it, You would get angry at me and say “You’re hopeless.”" which depict a worse scene) I think both his parents are still physically present but have become far more emotionally distant, not giving him as much attention, which exacerbates his loneliness from not having any friends his own age to talk to

And if one of his parents did leave? I think its likely his mother since she is shown disappearing out of his reach after the dog-incident (inferring she got angry/disappointed in Haruka anyway) This could also be where he got his necklace from: Its something his mother used to wear (although this is 100% a guess) and that's why its shown to be important to him

This one is just me, but i didn't realise until a rewatch that when Haruka is watching the younger him and the girl running together, the background has fireworks. Haruka mentions fireworks being a key memory to him so I wonder if this was one of the first/last times he got to make a friend...

On three separate occasions in the interrogation, Haruka mentions not liking animals. Despite this, he is depicted as sleeping with a rabbit plush and on his birthday art (I'd include that too but tumblr only allows 10 pictures per post, so here's a link) he is standing next to a giant blueberry and strawberry cake with two bunny themed biscuits at the side. Through my experiences of seeing Japanese fandom art on pixiv, sometimes rabbits are used to insinuate a character is cute and timid in fanart.

Meaningless details: Haruka sleeps with his necklace on; he sleeps on a bed and not a futon; at first I thought he woke up holding his plush's hand but his hand is merely next to the toy; and considering the state of the pillow and blanket, I wonder if he moves a lot in his sleep or if the is just because in this case he seems to be waking up from a nightmare about the dog incident...

Final note: I've spent so many hours writing this I don't remember if i was building up to any big finale or not but I hope you enjoyed reading this! Feel free to add on in the comments/reblogs.

Masterlist

A = Aftercare (What they’re like after sex)

Mycroft is a very methodical man, and he tends to stick to routines for the most part. That also translates into the bedroom; after sex he’s gotten into the rhythm of cleaning up after his lover, preferably changing the sheets as well. If they’re too exhausted to get up and shower/bathe, that’s fine by him! He’ll just take care of them with a damp towel and let them curl up against his chest (hint: it’s very warm!)

B = Body part (Their favourite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

As probably hinted by the previous part, his favorite body part on himself is probably his chest. In a rather innocent way, he loves the way they rest their head against him to listen to his heartbeat every night, and in a not-so-innocent way, nothing beats the sight of them burying their head into him, tears wetting his chest as the pleasure overwhelms them.

On his partner, he can never resist their eyes. Not when they’re twinkling so sweetly up at him, not when they’re begging to be comforted, and definitely not when they’re blown with lust and a deep desire only he can fulfill. It always leaves his chest burning with want to see them look at him like that.

C = Cum (Anything to do with cum basically... I’m a disgusting person)

Mycroft’s not exactly fond of messes, so cumming inside his lover tends to be his go-to. Not to mention the fact that he might have a bit of a possessive streak when it comes to the bedroom, and seeing his release oozing out their hole has him more than ready for another round in seconds.

D = Dirty Secret (Pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

He’d never admit to it out loud, but he’s had some rather lewd fantasies concerning his occupation—something about fucking his darling as they roleplay as enemy agents with incredible sexual tension (him not really roleplaying at all, honestly) gets him really going.

Though he’d never risk bringing them to his office, he’s had his fair share of fantasies of bending them over his desk and taking them from behind as they try to muffle their moans into his hand. He’d have to settle for fucking them just as good in his office at home.

E = Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what they’re doing?)

Now, being one of the older men in Yuumori, he’s definitely had his fair share of experience. Men weren’t saints back then, as much as some history tries to convince us otherwise.

In his early 20s, he probably fell in love with someone and took things seriously with them for quite a while, but soon his job forced him to put an end to it before it ended in bloodshed. He couldn’t risk anything happening to someone he truly cared for in that way—so ever since that relationship ended, he resorted to casual one night stands. Just a good romp every now and then to relieve himself of his stress did the trick—though of course, he always ensures that both parties understand that it doesn’t mean more.

And he… well, he most certainly knows what he’s doing. He puts his years of delivering pleasure to faceless names into good use, and knows his lover’s body like the back of his hand.

F = Favourite Position (This goes without saying. Will probably include a visual)

While he does usually love taking his lover from behind and the way his hands always gravitate to their ass and waist to pull them in closer, I think he’d prefer to have them in a position where he can clearly see their face. For someone who’s spent the majority of his life with no strings attached, he wants the fact that he’s absolutely serious about this to set in. This isn’t a casual fuck; he takes his time to make love to them and ravish them thoroughly, and the emotional bond formed through eye contact while doing so is something he’d rather not compromise on.

G = Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment, or are they humorous, etc)

Mycroft is a serious man in all aspects of life, so he’d be quite serious during sex. Especially since he considers this relationship his last, he’s rather intense and prefers to focus on giving them his all in bed. Occasionally though, when they’re letting him know just how incredible he’s making them feel, he’d let a small smirk make its way onto his face and tease them lightly.

He doesn’t mind if his lover has a sense of humor though—it’s rather sweet to him, and shows him just how comfortable they are with him.

H = Hair (How well groomed are they, does the carpet match the drapes, etc.)

I kind of see him as someone who doesn’t particularly care but also prefers to keep himself well-trimmed. If he’s busy with work (as he most often is), then he probably won’t bother wasting time on that. Though as soon as he gets the chance to, he trims because he likes things to be orderly.

The carpet mostly matches the drapes—mostly, because the curls get progressively darker further down, and they already are a shade or two darker than his (slowly greying, as much as he hates to admit it) hair.

I = Intimacy (How are they during the moment, romantic aspect...) 

While he wouldn’t go around making declarations of love every five minutes, I think he’s more of an acts of service guy. He takes his time to engrave it into their body that he’s so devoted to them, by bringing them unimaginable pleasure, and so dutifully too. It almost feels like he’s worshipping them at times without ever explicitly stating it. The smouldering heat in his eyes and the snap of his hips against theirs is more than enough proof.

He does, however, have a really soft spot for kissing. The look he gives them when their swollen red lips part from each other should be illegal—it’s like the entire world pales next to them and he could see no one but them.

J = Jack Off (Masturbation headcanon)

Mycroft’s a very busy man, and he tends to lose track of how much time has actually gone by during his missions. By the time he gets to finally have time to himself and fill his head with thoughts of his darling (thoughts that have his pants constricting almost painfully as he remembers every position he’d last taken them in), two weeks might’ve passed.

His sex drive isn’t the highest, since he expends so much energy on the job, he’s sometimes too drained for jacking himself off. It’s more likely that he masturbates whenever he’s stressed. And why would he resort to his fist like some teenage boy, when he could be embracing his lover in his arms? If both of them are willing and wanting, he’d love to spend the night in bed with them instead.

K = Kink (One or more of their kinks)

As mentioned before, he has a bit of a roleplay kink with his job. And perhaps (regardless of their gender), he’s got a bit of an undiscovered breeding kink that is the real reason behind him favoring cumming inside them.

He’s also a rather large man, and practically the entire population is much smaller than he is. If his lover counts among them, then he’d be pounding them into the mattress the moment he realizes just how small they are underneath his massive body. Watching the way his hands splay all over their stomach and the way his cock bulges their tummy just the tiniest bit has him hypnotized.

L = Location (Favourite places to do the do)

The bedroom and his office. The bedroom provides a certain sanctity and intimacy that nothing else provides, and his office feeds into his fantasies.

That’s not to say he hasn’t tried doing it in… well, every corner of the house. The kitchen, the bathroom, the sitting room—you name it, he’s probably tried it in an uncharacteristic frenzy. However, he’d prefer not to repeat the experience in the sitting room; the furniture was far from comfortable, and he figured neither of them liked the idea of having important guests over where debauchery had just happened.

M = Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going)

Nothing too special gets him going. He usually has sex with his lover just because he’s missed them, he’s feeling rather afffectionate, or because he feels like the moment is right. That doesn’t mean that certain things don’t ignite a certain brand of passion underneath his skin; no sir.

Whenever they’re the ones to approach him with a demanding gaze, clearly aiming to take the lead, he grows hard within mere seconds, it’s almost ridiculous. Something about that is ridiculously attractive to him.

He also has a weird thing that could also count as a kink… he likes seeing signs of aging on them. Smile lines on their face, crows’ feet with every smile, a few greying hairs here and there, calloused hands from work; if he ever catches sight of any of these signs, his sex drives goes through the roof. There’s just something so intimate about growing alongside the person you love, and he finds it charming that they’re showing signs of being so well-loved over the years.

N = NO (Something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

Someone handing him the reins and asking him to fully dominate them would not mesh well with him. This especially if it includes outside of the bedroom; he dislikes the idea of having so much power over someone. Considering the fact that he has so many responsibilities and is so used to sitting atop most of the food chains, he’s not fond of that also happening in his personal life. He’d very much rather have them both as equals. He’s not opposed to preferences during sex; just doesn’t like being a dom outside of it.

O = Oral (Preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc)

Definitely giving. Receiving is nice and all, but he enjoys the intimacy and trust involved in having someone as powerful as himself on his knees for someone, slowly kissing up their thighs before making his way to where they anticipate him the most. He adores the the little whimpers they make, the blissful expression on their face, the whisper of his name on their lips as their hands tug at his hair, and the trembling of their thighs in his hold. It’s entrancing.

P = Pace (Are they fast and rough? Slow and sensual? etc.)

Depends, but he mostly prefers a mix of the two. Roughness is mostly reserved for when lust is clouding his thoughts and all coherency leaves him, and he can’t help the bruising pace he sets then, as long as they have no protests concerning that. However, intimacy is crucial to him, and he feels that being rough only does a slopping job of proving how enamored he is by them. He could slowly roll his hips against theirs, prolonging both their pleasure as much as possible. His favorite is definitely a fast but sensual pace, where they could both chase their highs while also falling deeper and deeper in love with each other. Gentle hands roam and caress as slapping skin and wet sounds resound through the room.

Q = Quickie (Their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc.)

Only when fully motivated, and he feels a desperation creeping up on him does Mycroft resort to quickies. He doesn’t get that much time off in the first place, so he prefers to envelope himself in them entirely, worshipping every inch of their body with his—and he can’t do that properly if all he does is a quick fuck-and-go. It doesn’t sit right with him to do that with someone who holds his heart in their hands and whose love he cradles in his; especially not when they get so little time to indulge in each other.

R = Risk (Are they game to experiment, do they take risks, etc.)

Highly unlikely for Mycroft to take any risks. Aside from the occasional fantasy he has, he wouldn’t risk having anyone walk in on them. The sanctity of love-making isn’t something he wants other people to trespass on, for many reasons. He’s also a very respectable man, and dislikes the idea of having sex in a place that counts as inappropriate to him.

As for experimenting, as long as it isn’t a hard no for him, he’s up for trying everything his lover wants. If it’s something they consider a need in their sex lives, Mycroft is more than happy to integrate it into the bedroom. He’s very much a giver, and that’s one of the ways he can express his care and how well he knows his lover. He might even develop new interests now!

S = Stamina (How many rounds can they go for, how long do they last...)

Honestly it varies from time to time. Mycroft’s in his mid 30s, and loathe as he to admit it, he hasn’t got the stamina to last him all throughout his job AND all night in the bedroom as well.

If he’s stressed out and his partner invites him to take it out in the form of a quick fuck of frustration, he wouldn’t last very long, but he’d make it through 3 rounds at a minimum, his energy levels through the roof. If he’s exhausted from work, he wouldn’t have it in him to have sex more than one slow, almost-lazy round, though he’s keen on making sure they’re quite well sated, and never forgets his methodical aftercare.

If he’s been away on a mission for quite a long while and has missed his lover so much that he seems desperate to hold them, he’d have enough stamina to last a few rounds, seeing them and getting to touch them leaving his mind in a frenzy. However, if it’s none of the 3 aforementioned scenarios, then his lover is in for a very fastidious love-making session. He usually lasts for 2 or 3 rounds at the most, prolonging their pleasure as best as he could so that they’d both last longer than they normally would. He’s certainly up for pleasing them with his mouth, and he’d have no complaints if they decided to reciprocate the favor—though he always does prefer worshipping them without asking for it in return; it feels more genuine that way.

T = Toy (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?)

While he doesn’t own any, seeing as he’d much rather spend the night in his beloved’s arms than with anything artificial as compensation, he’s not opposed to them owning any. As a matter of fact, he probably encourages it, with the way he’s often away on the job. He’d hate it if they felt they had to curb their needs simply because he was gone. He finds it flattering that they miss him as much as he does them.

During sex, however, he’d prefer it if nothing was involved aside from their own bodies. It’s not as much being a prude or too prideful, as it is just him valuing the act of bringing one to the throes of pleasure with nothing more than their ability to read each other’s bodies and respond in kind.

In all cases, toys were far from being advanced or variable in the 19th century, so the options were few anyways.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

Not very much. Mycroft likes to prolong sex more often than not, yes, but he’d rather do that by setting a steady pace, instead of being a tease. He doesn’t really believe in delayed gratification, and he isn’t that playful so as to be a menace about it either. However, he’s not above the occasional smirk and taunting remark, though it rarely happens. They’ll have to catch him in a particularly lovestruck and relaxed mood for that to hapen.

V = Volume (How loud they are, what sounds they make)

Mycroft’s not very loud, and it’s probably due to how much he’s trained himself to remain quiet under dire circumstances. Old habits die hard, after all, so he’ll mostly keep his volume down. Any sounds he makes will be in his lover’s ear, head bent over in pleasure and eyebrows furrowed.

He’s not much of a moaner, but he tends to groan out loud the moment he completely sheathes himself inside their warmth, pulsating around him. He grunts a little with every thrust of his, and if they clench around him he lets out a shuddering breath.

He prefers to be on the receiving end of dirty talk, and it usually encourages him to make an exceptionally lewd comment of his own. If he’s feeling particularly sappy (for example, after an extremely dangerous mission, or after spending weeks apart), he might find those three little words falling from his lips in a gasp as he cums and spills into them. It’s oddly endearing.

W = Wild Card (Get a random headcanon for the character of your choice)

Being an older brother meant that he had to spend his entire life sharing everything, and so he grew up to be secretly rather annoyed by the concept of having to share his clothes. Despite that, the first time his lover nicked something from his closet and he came back to find them seated on the bed with his huge shirt draped over their frame, he could only swallow thickly, the familiar tingle of lust spreading from his gut up to his heart. It took him mere seconds to cross the threshold of the room and completely immerse himself in them, fucking them within an inch of passing out—and he genuinely had no idea where that intense want came from. Needless to say, stealing more of his clothes became a rather pleasant incentive for mindblowing sex.

X = X-Ray (Let’s see what’s going on in those pants, picture or words)

Seven and a half inches when hard, and so girthy that it’s a little difficult for them to wrap their hand around him during foreplay. He has a bit of an upward curve, and the head tends to flush an angry red when he’s very heavily aroused. Definitely has heavy balls as well, and they hang a bit. It’s actually rather intimidating to see him naked for the first time.

Y = Yearning (How high is their sex drive?)

As I’ve said before, it depends, but his sex drive is generally not that high. Unless he’s really turned on by something about them he particularly fancies, or he’s been away from his beloved for far too long, he doesn’t think of sex that often. With such a busy lifestyle and being acutely aware of the fact that he’s growing older, he doesn’t get the time for it that often either.

Z = ZZZ (… how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

He’s neither an insomniac, nor does he slump over immediately into a deep sleep. Mycroft sticks to his aftercare routine religiously, and only after checking in with his darling and ensuring that everything’s to their liking does he allow himself to rest. Post-coital bliss hits him then, and he falls against the pillow with a tender smile on his face as he listens to them chatter a bit.

If they fall asleep pretty quickly though, he’ll tug them into his chest for a good night’s sleep. He sleeps best when they’re both well-sated, and he enjoys the feeling of their arms around him and their ears pressed to his slowing heartbeat. They usually end up waking up in the morning in the same position they’d slept in the night before.
