2, 12, 18, 24, 35, and 40 for jackal or jace :eye emoji:

boy you KNOW i’m gonna do ‘em for both of the lads

2. What is the fastest way to upset them?

Though Jackal is quick to anger, they’re slow to upset. One of the few things that’s genuinely upsetting to them is losing any of their possessions that they really care about. For example, if they lost their journal, first recon beret, or favorite gun — for good — they’d be inconsolable (Dead Money was rough for them for this reason, among others). They have a major fear in regards to losing their memories again, and those are some of the few things that could give them information about themselves if their amnesia ever made a comeback.

Jace has seen a lot of darkness in the world, but some of the simple cruelties of the Wasteland still get to him. Something as common as a dead animal by the side of the road can bring him down for the rest of the day. He’s also very empathetic and is easily upset if other people are upset.

12. Neck kisses or shoulder kisses?

Jackal: Neck 👏kisses 👏every 👏time. Seeing them with bruises on their neck is pretty common.

Jace: Shoulder kisses. It’s about the tenderness.

18. What do they think they’re good at, but aren’t?

Jackal thinks they’re a pretty good cook, but in reality they could use some improvement. They have a tendency to try to make “improvements” that can turn out wrong, and they’re infamous for burning things. Following a recipe to the tee is nearly impossible for them — baking would be disastrous if Jackal ever attempted it (think Julien Solomita’s Aries Kitchen — that’s Jackal). Boone does the majority of the cooking between the two of them.

There’s not many things that Jace falsely considers himself to be good at because he’s a very humble person — sometimes too humble. Though, he probably thinks he’s better at logic games than he really is simply because he’s never played against anyone who’s well-practiced. The first time he gets crushed by Arcade at chess takes him by surprise.

24. What color would they paint their nails?

Jackal: Black or a glittery gold. 

Jace: Dark red or blue.

40. Blanket fort or tree house?

Jackal: Tree house. They like to be tall, and climbing trees is something they’d probably do more often if there were any trees in the Mojave that were suitable for climbing (aka: not Joshua Trees).

Jace: Blanket fort, it’s the perfect place for him to curl up with a dog/cat and a good book.

oh look, another ask game!

I have been planning this fic for Zero for literally almost a year (no joke man), but I haven’t had the time to fully write it out, but dammit, I’m gonna share how he meets each squad member. Please note that I’m calling them by the names that I’ve seen a lot of people use for them, but I’ll describe them to help y’all.

Zero finds Tempest (AKA, the only girl jackal present) first. She was a solo bounty hunter and she was after the same bounty as him, so naturally, they clashed. They ended up working together, though, and through their combined skills, finished the job. They split the bounty. Zero asked if she wanted to work with him for future jobs, and she said yes, since they got the job done easier together. It became a permanent relationship and they’ve been best friends ever since. She operates as his second in command and is in charge of weaponry, since she has extensive knowledge over it.

Then, they met Lance (the fellow with the brown gloves and red bandanna). Lance was one of their bounties, believe it or not. He was setting fires to different buildings and was known to create homemade bombs. By day, he lived life as a travelling mechanic, but at night, he was an arsonist and bomber. He mostly went after debt collector buildings, where he burned people’s debts and took down corrupt people who would steal money and leave people impoverished. Zero and Tempest ended up teaming up with him when they found out the person who gave them the job was corrupt themselves. To get away from the commotion, Lance hotwired a car and they all rode off together, laughing at the look of shock on their client’s face when they sold him out. Lance also operated as a bit of a handyman around the hideout, and is, as Jay lovingly refers to him, a “Jackal of all trades”. 

Next, they met Jay (smiley boy with the green bandanna). He was by no means a hardened criminal, but he wasn’t an angel, either. He had a hard home life, but the boy was wicked smart, so he ran away to pursue his dreams, since he knew he wouldn’t get to otherwise. On the streets, he became good at fighting and defending himself, but he was even better at scamming for money. He hustled strangers for money and often pick pocketed people. He’s also hella computer savvy and quick with math and calculations, as well as recognizing patterns and analysis in general. The squad met him when he tried to steal Zero’s sword, since it looked valuable, but it ended up backfiring (obviously). When Zero confronted him over it, he realized that he had actually messed with mercenaries (and kinda well-known ones at that), so he apologized and gave it back. He noticed their equipment was rundown and asked them how they were operating their budget for equipment and stuff and was met with a simple “what” from all three squad members. When Jay came up with an on-the-fly budget for them and showed his tech skills, Zero essentially adopted the kid and made him their money manager, as well as their IT guy. Jay better honed his skills as a fighter and joined them on raids soon after. (Fun note: he calls Lance his “bandanna bro” and Lance will never admit it, but he loves it.)

Finally, there’s Pierce (jackal with the red beret). Pierce was a military brat, so he traveled a lot with his family. He grew up in European countries and developed an accent from it (as well as some European slang). He also speaks multiple languages fluently. His family was stationed out in the desert where the squad operates. He had planned on attaining a medical degree, but his father wanted him to enlist instead, so Pierce was forced into learning combat and working out. Pierce, however, studied extensively in secret and became incredibly knowledgeable about medicine, first aid, and doctoral practices. He ended up getting into a huge blowup with his father over it, and he father forbade him from pursuing his dream. He ran away and worked odd jobs at stores in towns to try to scrape by. One night when he was alone after work, he was jumped by some guys. To his surprise, Jay jumped in and saved him, but got hurt, so Pierce tended to him and ended up taking Jay to the squad’s hideout since Jay insisted on avoiding the hospital. When he got there, he was met with weapons by everyone, but when he showed he wanted to help, they let him. Pierce tended to Jay, and then to the rest of the squad when he noted some of their injuries, too. They offered to let him stay for the night, but he ended up staying permanently when he showed his merit.

Essentially, Zero met each of the squadmates and just adopted them into his squad. There are other random tidbits I want to add, but it might be better to make it a separate post since this one is long enough.

Sonic/Equestria Girls Au Information and Lore

It's finally time to show you all something that I've had in my head for years and I promised myself that this year I would introduce it, AND TODAY IS THAT DAY. This crossover isn't like any other story where "sonic and his friends travel to the world of equestria girls because eggman messed up the timeline or mephiles miraculously came back and sent them there on a magic portal thingie for revenge" Nope, this is vastly different. Before I begin, I'd like to clarify that this takes place in a hybrid universe where the IDW/archie comics/games take place. I love the archie characters too much to NOT let them be a part of it. Basically, it's the IDW/game verse but with archie characters in them, along with a few events that happened and some cities that are in the old comics (i.e Knothole, Meropis etc.). Another note is that some of my ocs, and their species, are in this au as well! The species is called Novians.

Here's a list of the Archie characters: Sally Acorn and her family (Elias, Max etc.) Uncle Chuck (I'm a bit unsure if I want to add Sonic's parents since I'm still figuring things out) Scourge the hedgehog Fiona Fox The Freedom Fighters (Bunnie, Nicole, Antoine etc.) Mina Mongoose Shard the Metal Sonic Razor The Shark Coral the Betta Pearly the Manta Ray Honey the Cat Nack and his gang Hope Kintobor Rob O' the Hedge Some of the Echidna clan (which is honestly a huge maybe because I want Knuckles to have at least SOME of his people alive) Snively Robotnik (Also a huge maybe) ..and that's it so far! I'll update the list if I forgot a character. Some of the character's backstories are a mix of what Archie had and what the post-genesis wave had for them. For example, during the war with Eggman, King Max sent his wife Alicia and their son Elias to Angel Island to escape to safety when Sally was a baby. When they crash landed, and were presumed dead, Max groomed Sally to be the next heir for the Acorn kingdom until her father was banished in The Special Zone years later, he came back though. Alicia and Elias came back the same way they did in the Archie comics. Another thing to know is that some of my ocs, and their species, are in this au as well! The species is called Novians, they coexist with the equestrians. My OC's that exist in this au Isis Minorel Pacifica Catrine Jackson Somber and a few more that I haven't introduced yet! Jack and Isis are not energy vampires in this au but they still have their powers. NOW ONTO THE PLOT!! ~__________________________~ Basic Information: In this au, the Mane 7 are all sisters and Celestia is their mother, Isis is their adopted sister and Derpy is their first cousin, making her Luna's daughter. Celestia is queen of the equestrian humans, while Luna and Cadence are her royal advisors. Jack's father, Fredrick Somber is the monarch for all of the Novian species, he has a good friendship with Celestia. They reside in the kingdom of Equestria on Mobius, while the Seaquestrians live in the deep blue ocean not too far from where the kingdoms reside. They aren't from Mobius originally, they come from their own separate planet but it became uninhabitable. The equestrians are on peaceful terms with most of the species on the planet, especially the Mobians, and do whatever they can to help. Equestrian Human Species Info: Equestrian humans look the same in the original EG movie but the difference is that they have abilities based on their pony counterparts. Pegasi-based Equestrian humans can summon their wings at will, just like how Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy did in the first movie and so on. Magic-based (AKA unicorns) Equestrian humans can use their magical abilities to lift things or use them as a weapon for self defense, they DO NOT have horns. Earth-based Equestrian humans are just like regular humans but with a slight enhance of strength. Alicorn-based is just magic and pegasi mixed together. The Mane 7 and the Elements of Harmony: The Elements of Harmony were assigned to the 7 princesses at birth, much different to how the elements were assigned to their previous users. There are seven elements: Honesty Kindness Magic Laughter Loyalty Generosity Forgiveness There used to be six, but their late father had unleashed the element because of his forgiving nature and heart. Isis doesn't have an element but is still considered very powerful. ALL of the Mane 7's abilities in this au are the same powers they have in the fourth movie and mini series, the only difference is that they don’t transform unless they use their elements. They do have different transformation designs throughout the story, like how Sailor Moon does. I wanted Sunset's element to be forgiveness because she started out as an arrogant and cruel person when she was introduced. After her defeat, she had worked so hard to not only become a better person, but to also receive forgiveness from the people around her, including herself. Sunset is the literal reason why this au exists and I love her for that. An important fact about Sunset is that she has pyrokinetic powers in this au, which she inherited from her mother. It is dubbed, The Royal Flame. Pyrokinetic Abilities - Can control ANY kind of fire - Can breathe in fire - Can control her body temperature in cold weather - Her fire won't burn people she trusts, unless she commands it too - If she gets wet her powers won't work for a little while - When angry or frustrated, her body gets super hot - If she becomes emotionally unstable, she turns into her she-demon form, it happened once Mane 7 Ages and Birthdays (From oldest to youngest) (These birthdays are not canon to MLP, I made them up)

Zecora x Uncle Chuck?? and many more I have yet to introduce~ ~~~~~~~~~ History: Before they arrived on Mobius, the Equestrian humans weren't just one of Mobius' "inhabitants" and Equestria wasn't just a series of kingdoms. Oh no, it was once an entire planet bursting with life. The Equestrian race and the other inhabitants of the planet, Novians, coexisted together in peaceful tranquility. Throughout the years the two species would adapt and expand, turning villages into towns, towns to cities, cities to kingdoms. With the Novians vast knowledge of elements  and alternative fuel, and the Equestrians intelligent and superb skills in magic, it seemed that it would be perfect... but like all harmonious times, the destructive flames of war will soon come when unexpected and burn it all to the ground. There was another species among the Equestrians, Novians and Seaquestrians. They were the Centaurs. The Centaur race currently has a very rocky relationship with most of the other races from Equestria, the reason why is because of one single Centaur, Tirek. Many years ago, when he was just an organizer at a scroll store, Tirek had a huge dislike towards the Equestrian race, he hated them because the Centaurs didn't have much land nor much help at all. He thought they were selfish and greedy, hogging all the land for themselves and not leaving any for his people. He studied the arts of Dark Magic along with his brother Scorpan who also shared the same disdain for them as he did,  Once Tirek mastered it he had a battle to the death with the Centauran leader with him being the victor, after he disposed of him he took it upon himself to become the new leader of the Centaurs and wage war on the Equestrians and every other race that dared go against him. The Centaur War was the most brutal war ever, countless soldiers were killed, innocents were slaughtered, and kingdoms had fallen.Scorpan, now seeing the consequences of all of this tried reasoning with him. Feeling betrayed, Tirek murdered him out of anger and continued with his plans. For many, many years the Equestrians and Novians had fought long and hard but it seemed that they had reached a stalemate, they started to lose hope. It wasn''t until Galactus Centauri, a vigilante from the Crystal Empire had stepped in to help. Without knowing it, his kind heart and forgiving nature had revealed the lost element of harmony, Forgiveness. With the power of the 7th element, Galactus, Celestia and the other elements of Harmony had forced the Centaurs into submission. Most of them gave up and surrendered to the Equestrians, but not Tirek. Tirek, along with his minions and followers had disappeared. After they left for the time being, Galactus and Celestia married and had seven beautiful girls which would later on be eight when they adopt a 5 year old Novian orphan named Isis. Things seem to slowly get better for the Equestrians.....until Zecora had a horrifying vision. She had quickly told the king and queen that the planet was slowly dying and forming dangerous volcano's everywhere, the reason being all of the magic Tirek took during the war. She stated that in approximately 7 months the planet would become nothing more than a volcanic wasteland. With no time to lose they informed every citizen and species on Equestria that they will be evacuating the planet. Every spaceship was filled with Equestrians, Novians, the animals that were saved, and even some Centaurs. Galactus thought it would be okay, that they would finally be free from the war, and Tirek. Until he heard that his daughters Pinkie Pie and Sunset Shimmer were kidnapped by the centaur warlord. Galactus and a few soldiers went on a rescue mission to save them, unbeknownst to them that the volcano's were coming toward to where they were. In the end, Galactus, Sunset and Pinkie were the only ones who escaped Tirek. When they had reached their home castle the ships had already left because it turns out that planet's core was ready to burst early. After confronting, and defeating, Tirek once again in the castle, the three had reached to a magic teleportation chamber. There was another chamber on the ship that could teleport them back, but it required a lot of magic to do so. Galactus was heavily injured from his battle with Tirek, he didn't have time to heal because a volcano had formed under the castle and would burst any second. He had to act quick, he only had enough magic to teleport two people. So with every last bit of his magic and energy he teleported a heartbroken Sunset Shimmer and Pinkie Pie back on the ship, leaving him to die as soon as they were gone. Equestria had mourned for it's lost king and their lost home, but soon they would find a new home, with new allies and new foes as well. They would rebuild, adapt, expand and help those in need, just like they did all those years ago.... ANNNND THAT'S MY AU FOLKS!! I HOPE TO DRAW IT REAL SOON! I didn't go into full detail on the history part because I want to keep some things secret for now ;3 I really hope you love it as much as I do!! I poured my heart and soul into this au, it's one of the best creations I've ever made ;v; it felt so good to pour out all of this after keeping it to myself for so many years, especially the ships TwT Feel free to ask questions and tell me what you think! ^O^/
