#and a dragon cuz they're nerds

[belovedbow]

it's hotboi springback in the server! here's my piece of eli proving his magic to sunshine during camping before they got together. sunshine already believes him, but where better to show off one's magic than at a camping trip.

[real-fire-emblem-takes]

Rinkah Good Character.... I feel like her perspective on Corrin would be fascinating to dig into because like, you got captured by the enemy while looking for some lost royal with a nerd of a ninja, you're forced to fight some nobody royal for King Garon's sick amusement, you lose because of stupid royalty magic powers and also Gunter's thick Defense stat, King Garon tells the scrawny nobody to execute you, THE SCRAWNY NOBODY SAYS NO, you're kinda a little insulted that the nobody won't give you a warriors death but also No One tells Garon no and you have to respect it a little, you get knocked out halfway through the conversation, only to wake up in some random holding cell until the scrawny nobody BREAKS YOU OUT and says to escape, so you let them know that you'll be back and you're gonna kick their ass in the rematch. Then the Scrawny Nobody says they're looking forward to it like you invited them out for drinks so now your pride's been wounded twice so you're gonna kill them. On the way back the nerd ninja is the happiest you're sure he's allowed to be and he says the Scrawny Nobody was the one so you aren't allowed to kill them but you're getting your goddamn rematch. The next day after you get back and the nerd ninja gives his report you're back on the border and who's there but the Scrawny Nobody who isn't paying attention so you give them the old Big Smack and capture their unconscious body. When they wake up they're just like "hey how's it going" and you're starting to think they just don't know basic survival instincts. They get taken by the Big Cheese and you don't see them until the town center explodes and they turned into a Fucking Dragon and you're telling yourself you're fighting them like that at some point when after everything calms down you're headed right back to border cuz the Queen's dead and war is breaking out and the Scrawny Nobody is in the middle being told to pick a side. AND THEY SAY NO. and hell, at this point you're having trouble keeping up with everything going on so you know they're confused and just sticking to they're morals like glue. Then the next thing you know they're whimpering underneath you in bed and you don't know how you got here.

Hi hi! Out of curiosity, do you have any headcanons for the Trix you’d like to share?

sorry for the late reply, sweety <3 they are totally random and just came to my mind

Icy:

Icy actually knows horse riding and had a white horse when she was younger but it was taken away from her because of her family's fall from grace. She still suffers from it.

when she reads, she usually doesn't do it for fun. Most time she reads textbooks about using magic.

she studies hard but is also very gifted. All spells she knows are results of hard work. She is the most powerful witch at cloud tower and she loves the admiration of the other students, knowing she could blow them away in a second even if they attacked together

she's super arrogant

her birthday is the 1st of january

she doesn't like coffee and mostly drinks water

she always has the urge to proof herself to others (Griffin, her mother, Belladonna)

she loves power

Darcy:

she is a bookworm. No matter what kind of books, if she reads, she fkn reads and nothing can disturb her. A bomg could explode next to her, when she reads she doesn't give a fck. One time when they were children, Stormy almost drowned because Darcy was so immersed reading a new novel

she loved fantasy, mostly when it's some kind of legend that has tome kind of facts in it. As a kid she read all the stuff that people would only read when they're older. Stuff like the mists of avalon when she was about 13.

later on she mostly read spicy romance because of the lack of it in her freetime (when she was with riven and he looked at the book on her nightstand she became super mad because she was embarassed [he found it cute and gave her a lot of love that night *v*])

she's an excellent student as well but has to work much harder than Icy. Darcy is brilliant in mental magic and understands the darkness of dark magic better than anyone else...but the rest is something she simply has to learn and she will only go to bed if she mastered a new spell. If not she'd learn it the whole night.

She loved it when the teachers praise her and she baths in it like a flower does in sunlight. She simply likes to be good.

She's the annoying nerd that reminds the teacher that they had homework

She is super toady and definitely the teacher's pet

Most time she doesn't mean it serious but she admires Griffin

she is actually a little Griffin nerd and read a lot of books about the company of light and how Griffin got there (it's quite a long time ago in my hc not only 18 years)

That's why the expulsion was a shock for her

She is also the type of girl who is never satisfied with knowledge and is often find in the big library in Magix studying magic and history (cuz history repeats and she wan't to be ready for it).

She's probably the one who knows the most about the Dragon Flame out of the 3 (maybe even more than Bloom herself)

She often has nightmares, as a kid she was afraid of the dark until she learned to embrace is as part of her power. So as a kid she could only sleep when the lights were on in her room

besides being a sweety, she is actually the one of the trix who is best at torturing people

she loves to play with people's minds. As a kid she was not social and afraid of other children. It took some time for her to realize that she had the power to fkn mess with their minds

sometimes she reads the thoughts of strangers for fun

Because of all the hostility she had to endure as a child, she is afraid to open up. At first she only influenced Riven's thoughts so that he thought they did it, because she is so afraid to lose control. Darcy is always afraid that someone uses her weakness against her

it took her a long time to open up to riven and actually let herself go

she's insecure af

her birthday is on 16th november

Stormy:

she's a gremlin - the end

no ofc not lol. She fkn hates studying. In lessons she scribbles in her notes and doesn't give a fuck what the teachers say. This often brings her in trouble. She actually got a lot of detention.

It's not that she's stupid, she's just lazy

she loves music and is oddly not someone who just downloads it illegally. She loves to support her favorite artists and has a lot of merch

sometimes she answers in music lyrics

She'd love Rammstein lmao

of course she loves thunder storms and sneaked on the roof as a kid whenever there was a tempest

she actually started smoking pretty early to be cOoL

she quits when she attends CT because she got several warnings

but when she's stressed she still smokes sometimes (Darcy will always say she's ruining her health and stormy will laugh of it ans makes fun of Darcy's prudish way of living)

she's a chaotic bisexual and has a soft spot for Mirta even though she's never admit it

she's definitely an otaku

she loves playing online games and battles herself with tecna a lot online (both don't know it because they use nicknames)

she's also the one who has the weakest connection to her Ancestral Witch. Even Tharma can't control this chaotic bitch

She totally got it brawls at school as a kid

She's the kind of kid who always has a tape on her nose and an her knees

When someone talked shit about her or her sister's she'd beat the shit out of them. no matter if it was a boy or a girl

the other children were afraid of her

She had no friends at school except for Mirta who was in her parallel class. But they didn't hang out a lot because Stormy hated Lucy (for being Mirta's bestie)

her birthday is 5th of may

[kirein-ca]

Seeing a lot of Ninjago oc talks in the community, and I've noticed there's a lot of ocs that are allies to the ninjas cause you know!! They're the sillies ofc we're all gonna be working with the ninjas righ-

PS: get away from her she will blood bend your whole body and puppet it around for fun (she's insane)

She's a Ninjago OC I've made last year but I never had tumblr last year so I wasn't able to show her off

Arinelle isn't a name that looked like insane bloodthirsty person but she used to be a scientist incharge of figuring out how to extract the most out of dragon energy for Imperium outside (since it was unsafe for it to be within Imperium walls) and when it catastrophically failed Beatrix never came to get her so she just went insane while trapped in an underground ruined testing site filled with corpses and escaped after the Merge where Ras then found her sooner or later and she joined his clan out of interest

She besties w Cinder when Ras took her in but after meeting the Forbidden 5 she left to pursuit the shatterspin technique (cuz she low-key insane) and she became the forbidden 6th

She's from what I recall an Elemental Master of Magnetism (that or something like particle charge or so) but she's so smart despite being insane that she's learned how to control the iron levels in a body, letting her do ATLA's blood bending or literally kill somebody by changing the iron levels in the body and clumping it to one vital area or so (she is BRUTAL)

This included herself too, she's basically able to control the iron levels in her system to attract or repel to other external metals which lets her get a boost basically like getting pushed against a metal wall let's her send metals to her heel and cause it to repel with the wall so she flies off faster and farther

I made her whist being very much a Chem nerd I'm sorry for the rant

[cringelordofchaos]

Tolkien Black headcanons !!!!!!

Tw for multiple mentions of getting shot

Non-binary + romantically attracted to girls (based on Tupperware character description), pronouns - he/they

A bit of a Math+physics nerd + one of the best students in class (Cartman canonically cheats off of them on tests sometimes)

Has a really healthy and wholesome relationship with their parents + they sometimes either intentionally or unintentionally embarrass him in front of his friends but all in good fun (think of Ninjago Jay's relationship with Ed and Edna for reference)

Bit of a complicated relationship with Nichole (canon but i forgot in which episode it was said, but Nichole told Cartman that she and Tolkien are having some issues in their relationship? But it's not any of Cartmans business) (though he loves her and they even canonically have a picture of them together in his room)

Best friends with Craig, Clyde's a close second

Already mentioned it in my Craig headcanons posts but before Craig got with Tweek he would joke about proposing to Tolkien in the future so he could live off of their and their parents wealth lmao

Most serious/realistic??? out of Craig's gang

Has a bit more goofy / derpy side but is mostly embarrassed by it

Voice cracks in the future come to be the death of him

TW TRAUMA + POLICE BRUTALITY - is still quite distraught from being shot in the arm by a cop (in South ParQ Vaccination Special? Or was it on The Pandemic Special?) and is still distraught from that time his parents were arrested for no reason (in TFBW, where they also constantly targeted him and treated him (a ten year old child) like a threat), especially since most their childhood, like all the other kids, they were told that cops are their friends they can trust! But now he knows he can't trust them and avoids them whenever possible

Friendly

Canonically likes basketball (I like to imagine they sometimes play with Kyle!)

Favorite colour is purple (NO WAYYYY WHO WOULD'VE THOUGHTTTTTT /s)

Canonically feels out of place sometimes because of their family being rich

Sometimes takes the role of "the mom friend" (idk why. based on vibes. screw me)

Cringe TikTok user (canon 😞)

Not too much of a nerd like his dad

Since they actually hate that their name is Tolkien (cuz they don't like JRR Tolkien's books) maybe they change it in the future? I don't know what to though (but sometimes likes Token better)

Kind of understandably tired of everyone's shit

Wendy once said "I've dated him before, he's really nice!" or something like that sooo I take it as canon

Hates Cartman and has every single right to do so (he threw a rock at their head, shot them, and is just a racist asshole all the fucking time to them 😭😭)

But wait - what I don't understand is that they said "all that dungeons and dragons shit is lame" but in the stick of truth (haven't played it, only saw like 2 scenes in it) they were fully on board with playing fantasy? Like -

"THANK YOU FOR THY MESSAGE, TRAVELER! I SHALL MAKE HASTE TO KUPA KEEP!" - that sounds pretty nerdy to me Tolkien. Maybe they DO like nerdy shit but are just embarrassed to be associated with it???????? Idk I'm starting to get confused. Tolkien hyper fans / analysts if you're out there please help me

Canonically plays bass and still has his bass guitar in his room as shown in TFBW

Good person that usually puts others before themselves (like when Cartman told him to "be the bigger person" and tricked him into going over to him and getting shot by him)(still stands his ground and doesn't let people walk over him)

On southparkstudios.com it was said they're good friends with kenny and share struggles related to income (opposite sides of the same coin) so maybe they hang out sometimes. that'd be kinda cool.

Cat person I've decided though I don't think he cares too much abt the dogs vs cats debate

Gifted + talented kid but sometimes might be a perfectionist with overtly high expectations for themselves???????? Idfk what I'm on dude

Good memory

Likes to roleplay

Can't tell if he prefers fiction or nonfiction cuz of stick of truth but also because of the whole hating his name thing Eufhfhfuufnceucb

Ermmmm i think that's it for now Byeeeee god im so cringe

[cherrybombfangirl]

So i uh- rewatched the Trollhunters TV show and I... may or may not have created a new oc.

I might make an official bio post on her later when I have more. But for now:

Her name is Astrea (the name is important, it will come in later)

she's Merlin's 1st/oldest apprentice, and is about to have a burntout gifted kid/golden child burnout arc

she has a bit of a rivalry with Douxie (cuz she's pressured to be perfect and he feels like he's always in her shadow and is just the backup or second pick). they do have an arc about it and learn and grow to appreciate and love each other (platonically of course)

she specializes in magic with light (sunlight, starlight, led light, etc)

her wizard staff turns into a pen to make it easy to hide in the modern world

she also uses a lot of rune magic

she has a very bubbly personality

also very smart and an alchemy/magic science nerd, her magical bag is full of spellbooks

she also takes notes in her spellbooks with glitter pens

she has frizzy red hair

I realized she's also pretty heavily adhd/autistic coded (i'm not mad, i have adhd and autism myself)

She's also Aspec (on the aro and ace spectrums)

probably will have a familiar like Douxie i just... haven't figured out that part yet

she first appears in Season 3 when they're trying to rescue Jim from the darklands and Kanjikar tells them in order to succeed they will need the assistance of "Merlin's firey haired apprentice" and they find her hiding out in a small Arcadia bookshop and ask her for help < being the sweet, helpful, and bubbly person Astrea is, she happily agrees to help them, and joins the gang on their adventures since

Also Merlin hasn't told her yet, but he's been lying about her origins and where she came from (i won't go into details yet, but long story short- he actually created her with magic from the help of dragons, and he specifically created and designed her to be a weapon that could defeat Morgana).

^When she finds out the truth, she's pretty pissed with Merlin and very hurt and has complicated feelings about the person who raised her and praised her but also put so much pressure on her and lied to her for thousands of years

She also becomes pretty fast friends with Jim, Claire, and Toby, they're all great friends to her

She is sweet and bubbly but if you hurt her friends ITS ON SIGHT (Gunmar and his goons learned that lesson the hard way when Merlin wasn't present to reign her in)

Protection charms and potions are also a specialty of hers

might have a book variant? idk yet i've only read the first book and have yet to read the rest

Also have a moodboard I made while we're at it:

Will there ever be a fic? I don't know, maybe eventually, for now it's just vibes

[litlunacy]

I think I finally have Nymaraya's dynamic with the companions down (now that I finished the whole game lol). Rambles under cut for some spoiler stuff, companion and endgame.

Bellara - Romance! They are like two very weird peas in a pod. Pair of Dalish nerds looking into ancient magic and history (tho Bellara is def better at the actual tech stuff, Nym is more about the stories and spirit communication). Nym calls her Flutterby cuz she thinks it's cute and a bit silly, then feels a lil awkward when Bellara tells her Cyrian used to call her "Hummingbird". But Bellara likes it still anyway. They do puzzles together and sometimes Bellara even lets Nym proofread her stories (not the spicy ones. Nym has to beg and tease to pry those from her. and then uses them for irl ~inspiration~, much to Bellara's embarrassed delight).

Lucanis - Surprise bestie? I didn't expect this, so neither did Nym, but they actually got on super well. (Went from calling him Pantry Boy (derogatory) to Pantry Boy (affectionate)) Also she's kind of adopted Spite just a bit. Add him to the collection of Weird Children (which includes her snake/spirit Ghilana, Manfred, Assan and every single wisp in the Lighthouse). Becomes overly invested in playing matchmaker as soon as she realizes he's into Neve.

Davrin - As two Dalish who left their clans for adventure and to find themselves, they start off on pretty common ground. She absolutely plays the enabling auntie to his strict griffon dad. Her general air of goofy bullshittery needles him sometimes, but they're pretty good friends anyway. Wants to hear about every weird creature he's ever come across.

Neve - Nym tries really hard to be friends with Neve, but their vibe just stays stuck at cordial coworkers. Especially after Nym chose to save Treviso instead of Minrathous. They get along fine, with no real hard feelings, but Nym never gets over the 'awkwardly trying way too hard to make up for it' phase (yes this includes the matchmaking).

Emmrich - Put him in a bubble with Nym & Bellara and just listen to the immediate and unstoppable nerdfest that last for hours. Nym was born in a Dalish clan in Nevarra, she's always been interested in the Mortalitasi, and now she's roommates with a Mourn Watcher???? Girl's in hog heaven. Discussing spirits and the Fade and asking so many questions about her own curiosity spirit companion (Ghilana and Manfred absolutely hang out and cause trouble together). She would move into the Necropolis Memorial Gardens if given half a chance.

Taash - Rocky start, she tries so hard to get them to give more than one-word answers (Davrin was totally laughing his ass off Taash's entire recruitment mission, watching Nym struggle), but eventually they find a balance and become good friends (it's the dragon talk. Nym loves creature talk, any creature, and dragons are badass. Taash agrees.) Nym is so excited her cheese advice works to get them & Harding together, and is absolutely devastated by the events of Tearstone Island and how hurt Taash is because of her decision.

Harding - Obviously friends! They've been working together for a while, they get on great, they're both invested in being chipper to keep up morale and hyping each other up (Mayhem!). Nym finds Harding's stone magic weird but also fascinating and definitely encourages her to try weirder and more complicated things with it. Harding's garden room is one of Nym's comfort/happy places, until after Harding is gone and then it's the room that hurts her the most.

Aaaaaand now I've made myself sad again. Oops.

[youraverageaemondsimp]

so, i've been thinking of this sound on tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@matt_merrill/video/7022667190621015302?lang=en

modern actor tom bennet x non-actor nerd bipoc reader married au headcanon:

the marriages that last are the combination of two types of people. one person who is boring.....

nerd bipoc reader:

excel spreadsheets

wins excel spreadsheet competitions

nerds out over excel spreasheets. like, srsly. she could explain this stuff to him over and over again and he still doesn't get the hype.

more excel spreadsheets

maths

financial modelling with excel spreadsheets

coding

her country's precolonial history

political period dramas

crossword puzzles

goes to bookclubs

writes NYT best-selling novels, phd thesis, scientific papers and is responsible in maintaining her career

decorated stem girlie

bar trivias (that's where she met tom, of course, unaware that he's one of the actors who will be working on the set of the studio she is currently employed in. she was there cuz she was bored and wanted to go to a bar trivia. tom saw how crazy she went in that trivia and decided, "oh no. she's hot. i'm gonna date her. soon, i'll be her husband" 😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏).

nerds out over dead classical pianist composers

doesn't cry over emotional scenes of his films but bawled her eyes out when she saw statistics and tech being beautifully crafted in some of his films (tom was like, "seriously?! you don't cry when my characters die but you cried about statistics?!")

bought a big ass calendar so that she can stay organised. like, srsly. tom's face was like: 😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯. but then again, she schedule their sexy fun times with him so, he's like, "all g". 😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏

doesn't drink

doesn't do drugs

super straight-laced

.....with another person who is crazy.

tom bennet:

sleeps at the back of a pub

went to jail once.

strained relationship with his dad and sister, louise. but their relationship improves after tom got his act together to impress reader.

gets drunk.

drops out of uni to become an actor.

smokes a pack a day, much to reader's chagrin. he's getting better but still has his cheat days.

flirted with a lot of pretty actresses until he met reader, who was in the behind the scenes crew, animating the dragon, vhagar.

reader wasn't charmed at him when she first met him and saw how cocky he was.

she humbled him by having a go at him through being an academic weapon.

tom ended up not wanting dumb actresses and celebrities anymore who barely finished high school because he couldn't tolerate their stupidity again.

reader has destroyed his ability to tolerate idiots. that's why he ended up begging her to date and marry him.

disorganised.

tom, when he does smth crazy: his wife be like, "how are we together?"

[linelpisffxiv]

So, the XIV men in the tournament:

Varis - Has canonically fucked at least once, given he has a son. Is a garbage man who is one of a few I don’t think any fan of the game wants to fuck

Cid G - Unknown if he fucks. Parts of canon insist he keeps divorcing this other guy we know. A side character who is generally well liked, but I don’t think Popular is a word I would give him. I would put upper mid tier in terms of popularity. Most would vote for someone else in the franchise before him, but few would actively vote against him. (It's me, I'm the few. But I know my hatred is not shared)

Urianger: Nerd. Had a potential girlfriend and has a maybe boyfriend. Speaks in Early Modern English. Was kind of present but not really remarkable until the third expac, where he threw off his clunky robes for sexy ones. Generally well-liked, with a mild to moderate sized base of headcanoned relationships, though he’s more usually shipped with one of two other characters (or both). Fandom is generally friendly with Thancred's, in part because of shipping, but also becuase they're coworkers. There's some who dislike him becuase he is capable of deceit, even though he tries to do it only for the greater good, and is trying to kick the habit.

Emet-Selch - Has canonically fucked at least twice, given he is Varis’s grandfather and has another son who was alive who warred with Varis over the throne. Is one of the powerhouse characters of fandom, and a very popular villain. Has a decent hatedom as well because he has some very good reasons to be ("I don't see you as alive, ergo it would not be murder if I kill you. But Moral Relativism and all that.") There are people who would counterpick to get him out, but I don't think there's really an organized one, just able to be found here and there. His fandom is generally friendly with many other in-game villains (His great-Grandson Zenos, his associates Lahabrea and Elidibus, his lost friend Hythlodaeus who isn't a villain, just a dead neutral party who's a troll)

X’rhun Tia: fact: Tia isn’t his last name. He doesn’t have one. Tia is a clan indicator of non-leader/breeding male status. Doesn’t mean he hasn’t fucked, but definitely that he doesn’t with purpose. Has a cameo in msq in the background, but otherwise is side-content. Generally well-liked by people who’ve read the text of the Red Mage quest chains, but I only know one or two who have him dating their WoL. People would probably vote against him if they don't know much about the RDM questline, and even some who do.

Godbert: Has canonically fucked at least once, unless Mandervilles reproduce some other way. Primarily relegated to the comedy side quest about his son, but had shown up in MSQ as a sensible person. Very rich. I’m not big on the quests, but I am very much in the minority here. Also owns a casino.

Haurchefant: In Japanese, at least really wants to fuck. Got tamed down in English (And to a lesser extent French and German) translations cuz we don't do the pervert-with-charm trope anymore. Is the bastard son of one of the four “secular” leaders of the very religious elf city that’s been in a thousand year war with dragons. A character of decent to major importance, and is a very well-liked character who frequently tops lists of favorites despite dying halfway through the first Expac (we are on the fourth, and they are all 20+ hour games in and of themselves). Doesn't really have an active hatedom to my knowledge. And more a chill fandom who pops out of the woodworks now and then. Fans focused on him are friendly with Aymeric, Estinien, and G'raha due to similar tropes/story overlap with them.

Aymeric: The Elf pope’s Bastard son who was secretly given to a childless low-ranked noble family. Was the head of the army when we meet him, but after we killed his dad, he created a republic. Is very well liked and a frequent choice of spouse in headcanon. He also is quietly into the PC if you read into some statements a little. Again, I can't think of much of a hatedom on the character, and again, many friendly sub-fandoms with him.

G’raha Tia: See X’rhun for fucking status of his name. A minor character when introduced in a side quest. Had a bratty personality but stepped up and was thought to be never seen again. Until he got promoted to major character. His devotion to the PC quickly had a sizable chunk of the player base return the favor. However, his devotion can be seen as too much and has a sizeable hate-dom well, though not as large as the fans. Fans are admittedly loud and obnoxious and live up to XIV evangelism memes, myself included. Also the community is extremely close knit and there’s a handful of big names that can cause accidental brigading of stuff. His fandom is close to the three Ishgardians, though not as much a circle as the three Ishgardian boyfriends' are to each other. It's often on its own as well.

[dittolicous]

Just my two cents as an aro, I love gen fic and theres never enough! But relationships that are open to interpretation as qpps, besties, or as romantic can be fun too 😌 especially if the other characters can not figure out whats going on 😆

AGREED! Sometimes you don't need a romance, and gens don't get enough love!!!!

Honestly, most of the ships I wanna do just because it's cute, I'm focusing on relationships between a community of people and well... romance can happen in the background sometimes, and also adds bits of hilarity here and there

Elesa/Skyla: Elesa pining despite dating still, getting egged on by Emmet (and now Ingo) to just PROPOSE ALREADY YOU BIDOOFUS, getting one-up'ed by Tiny the gianty birdy stealing her GF's attention, etc. Elesa trying to figure is Dawn would mind her stealing her bird. That kind of thing!

Iris/Cilan: SIBLING OWNING. Ingo and Emmet teasing her playfully, her an Cilan turning around to be either sickly cute or bickering like an old married couple, constant jokes after they start dating about if he's dating her or Ingo and Emmet because hero worship and general train-nerding (*giving her shit*"Wait, that was an option?" "....." "...I am dating you.")

Drayden/Clay: FUCKING. HILARIOUS. DADS MARRIED AND NO ONE FUCKING KNOWS IN OVER 30 YEARS. THEY WORK IN THE SAME LEAGUE, RUN IN THE SAME CIRCLES, HAVE SIMILAR INTERESTS, BUT NO. ONE. KNEW. HOW, FATHER?!?!?!? HOW?!?!?! Also, congrats Clay! (Ingo, Emmet, and Iris IMMEDIATELY turning on the parent/child dynamic with Clay, calling him things like 'Pappy', 'Pop-pop', 'New favorite father', etc. and Clay's just staring them down with a blank-to-unamused face but inside he's all sparkles and happiness)

Dawn/Lucas/Barry: 1000000x funnier if Lucas and Barry started dating after Dawn disappeared, now she's back and they have NO CLUE how to tell her, but then also realizing, OH NO OH FUCK they have a crush on her too! And they both think they're like. Betraying the other until they crack and just stare at each other like 😯😯Now they're like OK CAN WE WORK WITH THIS??? but OH NO WHAT IF SHE DOESN'T LIKE US! OR WORSE!!! ONLY LIKES *ONE* OF US!!! So you've got this pair of dramatic boys trying to figure out how to get their BFF into their polycule and Dawn is over here not noticing a DAMN THING.

Until they bungle it and tell her they're dating but forget to like. Ask if she ALSO wants to date them? So now she's over here crying into her Castillacone because her BFFs are dating and she's happy for them but also sad because she missed it and uhhhh oh is she jealous??? All the while Ingo is just like 'Thank the sweet dragons I'm not a teen anymore'. Emmet - 'Cheers to that!' But like, most of it happens in the background while Ingo, Emmet, and Elesa are like ???????? Are the kids okay?????? Why is Dawn texting me sad Skitty pictures??????? Why is Lucas laying down in that puddle????? Barry... Barry's as frantic as usual but it adds up!

Irida and Adaman is funny in that it explains EVERYTHING about Barry in one fell swoop. And Dawn's over here like 'Man, it really was all just courting rituals!' Ingo - 'Let's not go there please'

And really, do I have to explain why the one-sided Melli/Ingo is hilarious in this context?

And if we add in the Pokemon (I'M GETTING TO GALVANTULA AND GLISCOR) it's even worse-slash-better. You've got Lady Sneasler polycule-ing it up with Excadrill and Chandelure in a weird way that works for them while ALSO winning with her horde of Weavile-himbos. And Archeops/Tiny because BIIIIIRDS and boy is Emmet not ready for THAT ONE. Willow and one of the twins Klinklang, forever destroying Dawn's peace because she DOESN'T UNDERSTAND HOW! CALL HER A DAYCARE LADY CUZ IT DON'T MAKE SENSE! The oddity that is Cress and his Basculin/Quilfish combo...

Pokemon breeding is SO FUNNY when you add in trainers that are utterly baffled.

(And it's so funny because neither Ingo or Emmet even NOTICE. GLISCOR IS SO WHIPPED FOR GALVANTULA AND LADY SNEASLER IS CO-MOM-ING ALREADY AND TINY AND ARCHEOPS ARE MAKING EYES BUT THEY HAVE NO CLUE)

Tag Game

Rules: Share 10 facts about yourself and tag 10 other blogs! I want to get to know my mutuals, and the people I follow a little bit :) The facts can be about anything!

@sillyliterature tagged me daaaays ago! Of course I waited until after midnight on a school night, after a 5-day school break, to finally write/post this... /sigh I had fun scrounging for things about me you should know. I hope anyone seeing this gets a giggle.

1. I'm an American living in China, teaching English. I technically teach "Critical Reading and Writing", and a lot of the curriculum I built myself! (I prefer creating teaching materials to teaching and I'll be changing careers soon cuz I so tired)

2. I love cats. Can you tell? My mom has given me a cat-related nickname since birth, SHE loves cats, and so I feel like it's just in the genes now. My metaphorical daughter niece also loves cats, which shows I'm right. I have two cats right now, Birdie & Canela (Canela is the tabby-baby, she has brownish-ginger spots she inherited from her mother, so yes, she is named "cinnamon" on purpose. Birdie is the tortie and the Mama-cat!)

3. I wrote a book! It's published! I'm supposed to write a sequel. It is... almost half-done? A little more than half-done? It's a YA fantasy called "The Coward's Emblem" 🥰 There are dragons! My bestie drew my dragons for me and they're BEAUTIFUL!!! LOOK BELOW!! SO COOL! (I also have commissioned art of the characters by Sabri on insta and they're BEAUTIFUL, too!! If you wanna know more about my actual for real OCs for my real book, pls lemme know!)

4. I've eaten so many Hot Cheetos, I've coughed stomach acid. Maybe living in China is good for me, no Hot Cheetos here... hmmmm

5. The only video games I've ever played from beginning to end on my own are: Harvest Moon: Animal Parade, KOTOR, KOTOR II, and Dragon Age(s). I can only play on Easy/Casual because I'm a crap gamer (I've never finished a Pokémon game), but I really love the stories/characters. ☺️

6. Atton x f!Exile fanart has been my lockscreen for months, and Viktuuri art from Yuri! on Ice! has been my phone bg wallpaper even longer. Maybe since 2016...

7. Rapid Shot Shame-Fame: I meowed through 7th-8th grade. Yes, you read that correctly. I've been a weeaboo. I was in the Hetalia fandom (hence the tumblr name). I was in the SuperWhoLock fandom, too + Teen Wolf, and, my true claim to fame, I went to Dashcon AND I WAS A PANELIST. At THREE panels. No, I was never paid. 🤣

8. I've almost been in a cult twice... maybe three times, but definitely twice. Only the fact I am lazy and didn't live In The Location of the 'Cult' prevented me from actually joining. (Did spend 40 bucks on that book for one of them, though. Ugh. Gimme my 40 bucks back.)

9. I've been to three Disney parks of six. (The Pirates of the Caribbean ride in Shanghai is amazing! Rode it twice! Tron and Soarin' O'er the Horizon are overrated.)

10. I've played DnD since I was 18, and I ALWAYS find a group. In USA, in South Korea, and now in China; I find the nerds and I friend them no matter where I am (yes, I am a nerd, too). My first finished original novel (unpublished) was based on my first ever DnD character: Karik the Master of Many Forms Druid 😀 My current character is Tepin Pallis Cuautli Lozano, a Wild Shaper Druid, the first time I've played a Druid again in almost ten years (3.5e was better, fite me 💪🤜).

what are mike and will’s favorite animals? 

— byler animal anon :)

Omg hi Byler animal anon!

Little did you know you sent this to the biggest animal nerd there is so I am very excited about this.

Will's favorite animal is a red eyed crocodile skink because they look like little wingless dragons. Also they hide underground like 99% of the time and Will feels like he's hiding cuz he's in the closest?? OK maybe a stretch but they still look cool.

Mike's favorite animal is a lion. Because he thinks lions are cool. But let's psychoanalyze how Mike is like a lion, just for funzies. Lions are brave, competitive, can definitely be aggressive, but care so much for their pride and would do anything to protect them. They're affectionate, they cuddle a lot, even males cuddle with each other sometimes. But but but!! If a male lion is challenged by another male, it's very important for them not to show weakness. (Something something Mike's fear of vulnerability) (Something something Mike is trying not to show his feelings for Will which he views as a weakness) And if lions are threatened, they lash out. Every time. Because you have to if you want to survive.

Love your idea for eddie X 2022 reader... but what if they were a nerd? Like they play dnd, but it's 5th edition in the modern day which is alot easier to understand than advanced dungeons and dragons, or 2nd edition(not sure which one they play).. and the thing with Critical role right now

I have a feeling eddie would be like "Play a tiefling? The DEMONS?... no they're evil" and be ironic cuz the town thinks he runs a cult.

AND THEN STAR WARS!! The OG sereis ended when Eddie was supposed to graduate by my math. Try explaining the prequels to Eddie and the party... then the sequels and all the shows!!

I think it would be cool to show them how being a nerd is cool nowadays

OMG YES! I mean I’m planning the reader to explain a lot of future things but not enough so it can change the future

I’m a bit of a nerd myself so I do want to include some things, sadly I don’t know a lot about D&D

BUT YES TO STAR WARS, also how is more accepted to be a nerd now a day compared to the 80’s

my take on a Mane 6 redesign Mostly a redraw from a Mane 6 redo I did in 2019, plus a few concepts I saw from other interpretations I found interesting and wanted to implement as well!

More about em under the cut

Twilight Spakle (they/them):

- Is an earth pony now

- Obsessed with magic since they themself cannot make it happen. Wants to become a high ranking wizard like Starswirl the bearded even though they're an earth pony.

- especially obsessed with Pinkie Pie.

- is a hermit nerd

Fluttershy (she/her):

- Is a bat pony!

- She was constantly bullied because of that through her childhood. In present time she lives as a common pony, hiding some of her prominent bat features and her wings, but even that, ponies still make nasty rumors around her.

- Made her green cuz nature n stuff, but also made her having the ability to manipulate flora along with the animal communication, she has a strong connection to nature, especially since she got her cutiemark.

- Though most bat ponies are used to drink other creature's blood, Fluttershy uses her flora manipulation to make ingredients for food she can use as an alternative to blood (like Marceline from AT).

Pinkie Pie (any pronouns):

- She's an unicorn now. Unstoppable. And they're also part Donkey!

- Uses their magic mostly to party and create fireworks.

- Many unicorn schoolars are impressed with Pinkie's ability, but many state he's underusing the power he has.

- Always trying to cheer others up, but its ten times more rowdy this time. Its horn holds too much power.

AppleJack (she/her):

- Part cow!

- Mostly stayed the same as our good ol' AppleJack, but she's more slowspoken and chill.

- also I didn't forgot her cutiemark, she doesnt have one due to her cow side (and fur), but her talent is mostly centered about hardwork and mutual help.

Rainbow Dash (they/he):

- More centered around thunder, but there are still Rainbows.

- Can create energy if they fly fast enough, sometimes that energy ends up burning things.

- Still admiring Spitfire and the Wonderbolts, though here he wants to impress her with his capability

Rarity (she/her):

- Jewerly centered but still a fashionista (implements a lot of shine and gemstones in her designs)

- A craftsperson, she does all of her work by herself and often gets her hooves dirty (literally) as she has to go, mine and carefully select gemstones for her jewelry line.

- Has a beef with dragons due to her use of gems.

Spike doesn't exist here, for now.
