Alfred being the craziest member of the Batfam will always be near and dear to my heart

He's just a very crazy old man who does what ever he wants for the shits and giggles of it once people start realising this I think everyone will be much happier

[batsplat]

from the stuff i’ve heard marc’s former honda teammates (dani jorge and pol in their media careers but joan also i guess) say about him now that they’re racing is generally quite positive, both on a professional/riding level but also seemingly on a personal level? i’m wondering what you make of that given that, yeah, marc doesn’t seem like a very good teammate (unless you’re alex who i’ve left off this list). like MARC wants to separate on and off track stuff and it seems like all of these guys are willing too at least in retrospect, so he can’t have truly burned bridges with them. do you have any thoughts on that

(x, x) most riders are quite good at not burning bridges with each other! it's not like marc's competitors don't know that this stuff is kinda part of the game. I mean, all of marc's past teammates were also trying to assert themselves within the internal hierarchy... you can say that certain teammates engage in 'worse' behaviour than others, but, like, these people do understand they're supposed to be fighting each other! a baseline degree of nastiness is factored in and will be accepted to a greater or lesser extent by your rivals - especially when it comes to asserting yourself in intra-team power struggles. you might hate the other guy in the moment, but generally speaking once the active part of the rivalry is done with... you will probably get over it. marc's fellow riders are aware of how ultra-competitive marc is - and to a certain point they do respect it, not least because they're aware that this is part of the reason why marc has ended up with all those titles. it's like dani said, right, it's marc's strong suit. and in general, you do have to say that there's relatively few teammate pairings that devolve to the level of toxicity that it completely destroys the interpersonal relationship. you might need some level of preexisting animosity... most of the purely competitive sins can be healed with a little time

on the 'separating on-track and off-track' thing... well. this is kind of a question of how you define these things, you can say that marc generally speaking isn't going to massively hold grudges over isolated on-track incidents or whatever... but he doesn't just leave his fighting to the track, and personally I've also never felt he can entirely separate these things out in his mind. can you really say his professional and private relationships with other riders are completely detached from one another? mostly, he's opted to be pretty disengaged from his fellow riders as a collective, and obviously that's a good way to not take things too personally... it's all part of the game, isn't it? sometimes it's good to go with the straightforward approach: marc tells you he will make your life hell, he does indeed make your life hell, and then you both move on with your lives and can maybe actually have a pretty amiable relationship with him in years to come. he's not really defying your expectations at any point here, is he now? it's still a question for each of them as individuals as to whether they think that kind of behaviour is above board and acceptable or not... but everyone by now knows that marc plays these games, so it's not like they're going in blind

and it's not like other former teammates are constantly badmouthing each other. I mean... look, let's just cut to the chase here and bring in valentino as our reference point (as he is for the sport as a whole, which by the way does also help create a certain baseline of acceptability for marc's antics - maybe goated riders are just supposed to be dicks who knows). vale's premier class teammates were 1) nobody (2000-01), 2) tohru ukawa (2002), 3) nicky hayden (2003; 2011-12), 4) carlos checa (2004), 5) colin edwards (2005-2007), 6) jorge lorenzo (2008-10; 2013-16), 7) maverick vinales (2017-20), 8) franco morbidelli (2021), and 9) andrea dovizioso (2021). of these eight men (let's just exclude 'nobody' for now), do you know how many had serious complaints at any point about valentino as a teammate? that's right, it's one guy. one. some of valentino's other teammates, like hayden, checa and edwards, were even quite actively positive about their whole experience. this is the thing - you do need some specific circumstances for teammate rivalries to escalate from 'being kinda bitchy every other month' to 'actively fantasising about stabbing each other'. not accounting for natural interpersonal animosity, let's list some circumstantial factors that you need to get a bridge-burning-worthy level of feud:

you need a competitive bike. it is possible to beef about development direction when you're in the trenches (cf late 2010's yamaha, 2020's honda)... but generally speaking this is going to be quite low-level petty stuff, not actual war

you also need something that approaches competitiveness between teammates. if one teammate is unquestionably stronger than the other one, then it is very unlikely that you are going to get any open hostilities. the tension comes when the two sides are close enough to each other for the internal hierarchy to actually be a contentious issue (this is also basic self preservation... if you're the far weaker teammate then you do not want to make the situation troublesome, because then you will be the one to be fired)

following on from those first two things... well, it doesn't hurt to have a title fight in the mix. there are also other ways you can generate competitive stakes, like, for instance, if you and your teammate know that one of you will be out of a job soon. basically, it helps to have something to squabble over

it is maybe easy to forget how rare it is this century for teammates to be fighting directly for a title, let alone over the course of multiple seasons. only two 1-2's since the year 2000 and they're both for the factory yamaha's (though 2006, 2011-13 and 2017 did all prominently feature two factory hondas). which means that for valentino, the prerequisites were met just the once in his premier class career... and yes, the results were pretty memorable, but (topic! for! another! post!) it's worth pointing out that even that relationship was pretty much 'fine' whenever there was a sizeable disparity between the two of them performance-wise (2008 and 2013 are the most clear cut examples). I think the way I'd frame it with marc is that he has a bunch of mildly dubious strategies up his sleeve to assert himself within the team, which don't really deviate that far from what you'd expect from a rider of marc's calibre and only need to be escalated under specific circumstances. that doesn't mean he doesn't have the potential to be ruthless, but up until now it's mostly been a fairly 'acceptable' level of ruthlessness on the intra-team level... and not something that is likely to make other riders actually hate him

taking marc's teammates one by one... dani was the closest to meeting the bridge-burning prerequisites, though he was only a title rival in marc's rookie season. and marc did go further with him than he did with anyone else, and dani has made some pointed comments about marc's style as a teammate... but yes, he is fonder of marc these days. partly I'd just emphasise again that this is a fairly natural progression when you've stopped directly competing for long enough, and partly it's also just a question of individual personality - dani's not massively into holding grudges. then there's jorge, who... I mean, they might as well not have been teammates, given that jorge was either too slow or too injured to even be sharing any track space with marc. you have to put that one down primarily to circumstance, seeing as jorge's own track record on the teammate front isn't exactly spotless. marc and jorge beefing in 2019 would have been pretty dumb and also a massive waste of everyone's time in a year in which marc singlehandedly won the team's championship. even those two needed more to get things going

moving on to the dark years, pol and marc had an extremely stop-and-start partnership on a honda that was generally pretty uncompetitive... so the only stuff they could get ever so mildly irritable about were riveting incidents like 'marc saying pol wasn't the biggest championship threat' (neither of them were) or 'pol saying he'd copy marc's set up' (which proved entirely useless). not exactly title decider territory, is it now, and marc very much had pol covered as a challenger throughout their partnership. also, those two do have a longer history! they've known each other since they were kids and hold a pretty significant place in each other's careers. now that pol's more or less retired, it's natural there'll be quite a lot of sentimentality there - which will paper over any small cracks that appeared during those two years. and joan was a one year teammate at a time in which the bike was consistently close to offing them both. they only managed to start a sunday race together as teammates on thirteen occasions. it would take some serious effort to engineer a feud with that little opportunity, and, really, why on earth would you bother. maybe if honda had gone for rinsy rather than joan for the factory seat, it could've been a bit more prickly, but it's unlikely that it would have escalated beyond that

this is the thing, right, the only one of these partnerships that would have been worth burning bridges over was dani, and even there marc pretty much had him handled after the first season. in general, marc has been pretty clear on how he's not interested in making friends with the other side of the garage while the teammate relationship is ongoing... which is fine! there's some prominent-ish teammate pairings that are actually good friends, some teammate pairings where one of them is actively helping out and advising the other one, but some riders prefer to just keep their distance. it would have been a little silly of marc to start a feud with a teammate who is galaxies away from being a competitive threat, let alone a title rival, but generally it is possible to toe the line between 'attempting to suppress your internal rivals enough to stop them from becoming a problem for you' and 'taking radical enough action to make your internal rivals despise you'

especially in the post-dani era, marc never really had any need to push things too far... and, let's face it, how many of your teammate relationships end up with burnt bridges is also quite frankly a question of luck and circumstance. do you want to guess which top rider on paper has the worst track record this century with premier class teammate feuds, in terms of a) how many they've had, and b) how little public reconciliation there has been since the end of the rivalry?

yes, that's right, it's the first name that comes to mind when you're thinking of toxic and conflict-prone riders: andrea dovizioso. that old devil, constantly causing trouble. just couldn't stop undermining his poor, innocent teammates. can somebody please stop this ruthless bully before it's too late

I think you get the point. I would personally suggest that dovi is not in fact the worst teammate it is possible to have in a motogp top team. he just happened to find himself in a situation where he was teammates with two separate guys he did not click with at all, in situations that involved a pairing of riders who were (or had the potential to be) competitive with each other, as well as some proper stakes attached to the rivalry. in general, situational factors are going to determine this stuff more than anything else... and marc more often than not does have a reasonably good feel for picking his battles. he's flirted with the line, but he's mostly avoided crossing it. he hasn't had to

idk if you accept requests but i badly want to read the blue lock boys with the orange peel theory going around on tiktok 🥹

notes: anon, i was in a slump and then you come with this, please know i cant get it out of my mine for 2 whole nights. so, please have this, i hope u will enjoy it & your fave is there. also shoutout to @doobea for helping me with rin & barou esp <3 aso for standing my yappings. warning: none, post canon au in mind, reader's gender unspecified.

character: isagi, kaiser, bachira, chigiri, nagi, reo, rin, sae, barou + bonus

isagi

sweet boy will do it with a smile. is not the tidiest but you can now eat your orange while sharing with him. has a vibe that he is sort of used to doing this somehow. a total win still. if you do the same for him he will get flustered. also asking this is one of the quickest ways to get mr. egoist switches to mr. sweetheart boyfriend.

“Eh, why are peeling one too? I already… for me…?…I, uh—I see. Thanks… I—I am… give me a second.”

kaiser

you are the one who will peel for him—unless you throw a fuss and give him a silent treatment because this guy's pride is no joke. he can, he just doesn't want to. but to appease you and gain back his rightful spoiling, he will. afterward, at least, he learns his lesson and when you are about to peel one yourself, will take it and peel it beautifully for you like a second nature.

“…the fuck are you staring at? Just take it. You are about to eat it anyway, right? Then what's the big deal?”

bachira

yes, he will no question asked but is it worth it. probably will make a mess out of his energy. you will be laughing along with him somehow though so it is worth it. having the sunshine doing anything in front of you is a guaranteed smile-inducing routine. as for the orange, please do switch to other alternatives, for example: kisses, as suggested by him.

“Isn't this better than orange? Huum, huum! More healthy, sweeter too, right? Another one?”

chigiri

depending on his mood, you will either get a very cute orange peel or a half-peeled orange (at best) you have to finish peeling yourself. on the former, you get a smug bf who will feed you like it's a pocky stick. on the latter, you better be the one feeding him while hugging and cuddling him. multitask somehow. also, give him kisses because he is called a ‘princess’ for a reason.

“Ah, being in your arms being fed like this… yeah, yeah. I know don't worry. I will repay the favor.”

nagi

realistically, you will be the one peeling it for him and forcing him to eat one. because why would he even touch one? he is too lazy for that, nothing personal. but, let's say he really, really loves you: he still won't, he will just give you orange-flavored jelly in replacement. it does come from a place of love though, he genuinely thinks it's less troublesome to eat and, hence: better.

“Eating that is troublesome. It taste the same too. We can also do it while kissing. Mouth to mouth. Better right?”

reo

normally, will get a servant to peel it for you and him. though: can he do it? will he do it if it must be him? no question asked, absolutely will, all while chatting and staring at you with so much love. totally mr. k-drama male lead. you and your premium orange are in good hands.

“Oh, man, you are sometimes really …huh? Nah, I mean, I like doing this. It's just now I feel like I have to do this every time, so… yeah.”

rin

the first time, he will click his tongue and mess up. he will crush the orange. better never speak of it again, just know he loves you wholly despite everything. then a week passes and suddenly you will get a professional competitive orange peeler part-timer. without asking. just eat your orange. unless you are sick of it or it makes you actually sick.

“Did the orange taste good? … good. Nothing. You just look… nevermind. Do you want another one?”

sae

will he or will you. realistically, no? there are two possible reasons: 1) he can't. his whole stat is in soccer. 2) “you can't?” aka is it worth it getting judged by him. in case #2 though, just act cute and aim for his soft spot for you, he will fold and peel it with you pressed to his arm. he will grumble or glare but that's just itoshi-esque tsundere.

“You can't do something like this yourself? This will be the only time I’m doing this… Also who told you to move away?”

barou

our king. will peel the skin and the white fiber for you. tidy peels and if you know your way around his heart—you do just smile or blink and he is gone—he will also feed you. 10/10 execution no notes. probably will do this in kotatsu, dinner tables, and other domestic settings that are not bed while being a tsundere.

“I’m doing this just so you don't make a mess, got it? Also, scoot closer, your leg is kicking me—what do you mean I’m lying?!”

bonus

kunigami will, both before and after wc because you are his world. the difference would be in his expression only and there is that because his love for you would never change. shidou will but genuinely, please just peel it yourself. aiku will, not without teasing you though. gagamaru will either will or teach you how to eat the skin too. zantetsu wants to do it, but it will be really messy so please just don't. hiori will do it like a sweet boy, but if he is in his sadistic mood he will tease you for a bit before finally feeding you.

[your-unfriendlyghost]

I have two things to ask:

1.-Can we be friends?

2.-Do you have any Outsiders headcanons (or any that you haven't submitted yet)?

I mean sure?? Idk who you are since you’re on anon, so not REALLY, but I’m always down to talk!

2. Yeah lol- tons. Too many. Here’s a few (okay like 25 oops) off the top of my head lol, some serious/angsty and some lighthearted/kinda stupid without any real order. (Lotta ‘em are about Steve tbh -there’s so little to him in canon that I have the freedom to hc pretty much whatever I want)

Steve Randle’s nearsighted and has no idea, which is why he’s literally always squinting. (I’ve had that one for like months but only recently mentioned it on here lol.) Steve thinks his vision is completely normal

Dally and Sylvia genuinely cared for each other, but they were both so horrible at having healthy emotions that they just made each other worse. In a bad way, not a fun way.

When Steve gets kicked out, sometimes he hangs with Johnny in the lot. They don’t really talk about anything important like their shared experiences of having lousy parents. Instead they talk about cars, girls, music, school…lighthearted stuff. Sometimes Johnny will find Steve crying, which he never mentions- he’ll just sit down as per usual, which Steve appreciates. Steve almost never finds Johnny crying though. Johnny doesn’t cry much.

Okay tangent- I love how Steve and Johnny are low-key foils. Like Steve always seems tough but then cries when pushed to his limit, while Johnny always seems skittish until he’s under a bunch of pressure- in which case he suddenly is confident. (Not necessarily thriving obviously, but confident yk? Like grinning while saving those kids in the fire.) I know SE Hinton probably didn’t intend that at all, but it’s just such an interesting detail to me. One of these days I’ll put it into words better

Johnny’s jeans-jacket is a hand-me-down from either Steve or Two-Bit. (I can’t decide which lol) (obviously Dally would make sense too, but honestly I think it’d add more depth to flesh out Johnny’s relationships with the other members of the gang)

After the events of the book, Two-Bit starts hanging around the Curtis’s place even more. At first the gang assumes he’s trying to lighten the mood. It’s only after he gets sent to the cooler for a month due to drunk driving that they realize he was actually hanging around so much because he was trying to keep his kid sister from seeing him so drunk…

Two-Bit likes to joke that he keeps failing junior year so that him and his sister can graduate together. Which is a very bad idea since his sister is a year younger than Ponyboy.

Sodapop often feels like he’s only good for looking pretty and not all that useful or interesting otherwise. He likes himself, but when he stops to think about it too much, he starts to wonder if he really has anything going for him at all

My H/C for Steve’s home life is that his Mom is sick w/ like cancer or something. Before she got sick, Steve’s life was pretty alright for an eastsider- he and his dad fought, but they always made up for the most part. They weren’t perfect, but they loved each other. But after she got sick, she wasn’t there to mediate between Steve and his Dad anymore, and the fighting got worse and worse. And then Steve’s dad started drinking more and it was pretty downhill from there. Steve’s Dad still loves him, but sometimes Steve wishes that he didn’t. If he didn’t, then he could hate him. But his dad does love him, so he can’t get himself to.

Steve and Dally taught Johnny to drive when they were all like fourteen-fifteen-ish. Johnny is a very reckless driver. He loves speeding.

Johnny also loves fast roller coasters and stuff.

Dally doesn't ‘cuz he’s low-key scared of heights- he likes riding broncos and rodeos, but put him at the top of a roller coaster and he’s convinced that it’s gonna break and he’s gonna die. He pretends he doesn’t mind. The only people who know he’s scared of them are Johnny, and before she died, Mrs. Curtis.

Steve has a napoleon complex. Johnny, who is shorter than him by a few inches, likes to bully him for it sometimes

Ponyboy and Cherry don’t interact much in the school year after the book, but in the summer after, they start to hang out. Eventually they become pretty close. They fangirl over Paul Newman together

Ponyboy still doesn’t let Cherry read his theme though until years later

Marcia and Two-Bit re-meet a few months after the book. (Two-Bit is really scared that she’s embarrassed to be dating him, and Marcia is really scared that he’s embarrassed to be dating her. Neither of them are embarrassed. They both adore each other.)

Two-Bit likes to watch Marcia barrel racing. One time while he’s there, he runs into Ponyboy watching Cherry barrel race and immediately tells everyone much to Pony’s chagrin

Evie knows a little bit about cars, and she sometimes helps out at the DX during summers. Steve is so whipped for her lol (and Soda too Steve has two hands)

Evie and Sylvia are besties, but Steve and Sylvia hate each other. They act civil in front of Evie, but as soon as her back is turned they’re growling at each other like dogs. (Well Steve is. Sylvia just acts condescending as hell. Sometimes it goes over his head, so Steve knows she’s insulting him but isn’t sure what the insult is/means. Which makes Steve kinda want to kill her.)

Steve and Soda are low-key co-dependent. (Steve more so- Soda has his family at least, while to Steve, Soda and Evie are his whole world pretty much) It’s probably not super healthy, and both of them are vaguely aware of that, but are trying not to think about it too hard rn

Ponyboy’s friend group in high school consists of Curly Shepard, Mark Jennings, Scout Jenkins (from the tv show), and eventually, in her senior year, Cherry Valance. (There’s others too but those are the main ones.)

Pony dates Cathy Carlson for a while too, idk if they’re good for each other or not- I kinda like the idea of them being a sweet couple tbh, but no one else on here seems to care about them so I haven’t really explored the idea much lol

In a Dally lives au, Mark Jennings and Dally end up spending a bit of time together through Pony, and at some point they realize that they’re half-brothers lol. Mark is a deeply obnoxious little brother to have, and he drives Dally nuts on purpose. Weirdly I think Dally’s a relatively good influence on him, as much as someone like Dally can be. And Dally does care for Mark, though not as much as he cares for Johnny- Mark is, in his head, not exactly his responsibility.

Well I have (so many) more, but I think that’s enough for now lol. Point is, even though I haven’t drawn in a minute, I love these characters and their romanticized version of 1960s Tulsa so much and I think about them way too often lol

(dw once i get more into the swing of school I’ll be doin more art!)

↳ synopsis : request ♡

↳ authors note : dan hengs is more or less a joke bc i genuinely couldnt think of much for him im SORRYANSBDNS thank you smmm for the sweet messages they rlly warm my heart

☆☆ ONE BED TROPE ⁉️

When the peace between the Overworld and Underworld was established, you and Gepard both agreed that it didn't mean that suddenly you and him were buddy-buddy now. However, with Seele and Bronya becoming allies, it meant that you and Gepard were more often than not being assigned to work side by side.

And with that arrangment coming along, that's what brought you here. In an abandoned building, sitting on a bed with Gepard kneeling between your legs as he bandaged your bruises. "You know, if anyone sees this the angle looks really-"

"Shut up."

You smirk at his fluster, seeing the slight shade of pink that he tries to hide. In return, he not so nicely pulls on the bandages around you, tightening them in a way that was nearly suffocating. "Ow!-"

You won't deny that Gepard was an insanely pretty man, his soft skin and gentle features complimented his.. annoyingly kind soul for those who needed his assistance. He was loved by many, and you couldn't really blame people. Just cause you both were on opposite sides didn't mean you couldn't acknowledge his determination to protect others.

"Your injuries are fatal. We can move by morning, just rest for now."

You look around the room, mostly to ignore how he takes off his heavy armor to to rest properly. "You know it's.. there's only one relatively comfortable place to sleep in, right? Or in other words.. there's only one bed?"

Gepard nods with a sigh, your eyes finally turning back to him as he tries to lay on the floor and use his arm as a pillow. "Yeah. And you're hurt, so you can have it."

He ignores your pitiful stare, closing his eyes until he hears you clear your throat and opening one of them slightly. "It's.. cold. And there's.. enough room."

"Oh? And won't this look like a suggestive-"

"Shut up!"

You ignore his laughter as he stands up, feeling him ruffle your hair as you look up at him. "Asshole. Just.. sleep, will you?"

"Gladly. If it means I won't have to look at your face anymore."

"You know I'm pretty." "Maybe, but you're infuriating."

"Wait, what?"

☆☆ BITTER EXES WHO HUNTS THE OTHER DOWN

Maybe that description was a little detailed, but wouldn't it be funny if you were DAN HENG's ex and you were so pissed at him you joined the Stellaron Hunters. Blade himself started hating him a little more after hearing you rant about him for the 10th time in a day. (He's more pissed that he made you that way and now has to deal with it.)

So when you caught up to him in Luofu, even if you swore to Blade you wouldn't do anything until his business with Dan Heng was over, you just couldn't resist just having a little bite. Just for your own enjoyment.

"How have you been?" "I've been better, especially since you're holding a knife to my throat and pinning me against a wall."

You scoff at his remark while pushing the blade closer towards his neck, not quite enough to cut but grazing his skin to a point he can feel the cold metal. "Shut up."

"Good to know you're still angry at me."

"Why wouldn't I be? You left me with nothing but a poorly written note that had nothing but 'Goodbye.' on it."

That got a little reaction out of him which was him clearing his throat. "Seems like you haven't forgotten either."

"No it's more.. did you not see the other one I left you?" "There was another??"

You and him exchange awkward glances, you eventually pull the knife away from his neck and take a few steps back.

"If it matters at all, you're still really pretty."

"Seriously, now of all times I-"

You laugh a little, causing the familiar feeling of Dan Heng's heart skipping a beat as he looks off to the side. "..Whatever. Just because we had this.. whatever this was, it doesn't mean you're off the hook. You're still gonna be a dead man, I promise you that much."

Dan Heng watched you leave the shadows, until you were out of sight was when he laughed a little. "It's a little odd I found that stupidly attractive but.." He shrugs to himself, not like anyone will know.

[mecachrome]

i swear there is something about landoscar that makes me insane like i got into this fandom and have liked a lot of ships like maxiel, carlando, lestappen etc but there is just something different about landoscar??? idk if it's the dynamic between the two?? or if it's oscar's personality that makes their interactions feel genuine but i would love your analysis or thoughts on this cause WHYYYYYYY have these boys taken over my brain like so??? i swear other ships are literally out here hugging like mad and saying sexual innuendos to each other etc etc and im unfazed but i see oscar and lando have the slightest touch or glance at each other and im feral foaming at the mouth lmfaooooo !!!

omggg anon i answered an ask here about why 814's personalities appeal to Me Personally but maybe i shouldn't get too into that... 😔

anyway idk whether this makes any sense but perso with some rpf ships i find that the myth somewhat outweighs the canon or vice versa — i.e. the "potential narrative" of a ship is really compelling but it doesn't quite exist as it's written in canon, or a ship doesn't have that many compelling extra narratives other than the existing relationship that's strongly visible in canon. and i think these are all great and fun to ship, but i guess as EYE see it it sort of feels like 814 balance those aspects fairly well? like they have a dece amount of sweet and interesting interactions with each other, but obviously they're not best friends and there's enough of this like, sense of repression + the fact of their personalities being not fully diametric but still different enough that it feels like you can take them in a lot of directions. i really like that landoscar aren't quite foils but also aren't "twins" either as some people say, and oscar despite being so lauded as mature is still inspired by lando in many ways and shares the same sarcastic humor as him and enjoys his presence a lot. they work because they aren't opposites but there are enough crucial aspects that separate them so you can make a lot of tropes and aus fit them. which isn't to say you can't do the same with the other ships you mentioned but... idk i'm also just biased because i'm an oscarybroTM so i don't really think about 90% of the grid so i'm fundamentally less invested HLKSDFHLH

also i've mentioned this b4 but my favorite hockey ship (2124) is literally the hockey version of oscar (dorky californian sportsnerd who brings his gaming setup on road trips to play fifa) x his dry finnish linemate whom he doesn't even interact with off the ice but ON the ice they have the most electric wordless chemistry and are constantly aware of where the other is and play beautifully together and get super awkward when reporters try to talk to them about it. so like to me unspoken collaboration IS a beautiful and worthy thing to rpf about.... *__* so clearly i enjoy teammate repression and awkwardness in my ships already but then 814 are kind of even more insane because they're less myth than 2124 so there's SO much to chew on. at least for moi 🥰 icl i'm a little bit anti-pda so constructing intricate rituals to look longingly at other men and laugh at their bad jokes is more compelling to me than straight up skinship/bgp... i was just telling @inchidentally whose analysis i feel like might be up your alley that i don't rly get why people act like oscar's "heart eyes" toward lando are "pr" (???) because from everyth we've been told and see about him it's so clear that he's always been just himself and the level of... unguarded emotion he displays around lando isn't something you can just make up imo. even if it's just little things and they go off and do completely different things off-track (which again i kind of enjoy. like romanze can be guy who goes off to party with models the day after a race x guy who's in bed gearing up his 10th joke about getting his wisdom teeth removed) it makes them rly fun to watch ;__;

who in f1 do you think are the real eaters? the watermelon sugar kings? can include retired drivers as well

oh my god. anon mwah to you and this question. i’m gonna give you my top three. not in any particular order. obviously nsfw beneath the cut. i’ll also do the ones i think are the worst! i’m a hater at heart.

best <3

special mentions — valtteri (weird. weird guys are the best at it), oscar (not good in the beginning obviously but then he’s weirdly focused on being the best at it? and practices sm times he becomes incredible), zhou (pretty), mark (solid).

— charles

okay now, i know you might be thinking… jayde why? idk. i feel like he’s either very good… or shit. i like to be optimistic. his face just gives off eater vibes. maybe cause he’s pretty.

— nico

might be controversial. but i strongly believe he’s good at it. like very strongly believe it. i have obviously no proof but i genuinely believe it. the vibes y’all. the vibes. just trust me.

— lewis

has to be. for my mental health.

worst <\3

special mentions — checo (idk. but i know), logan (i’m sorry y’all.. this is the loscar divide. logan prefers fingering probably), sebastian (too fucking giggly 😭 like what’s funny).

— jenson

i know i wrote a jenson smut with pussy eating but… i think because he’s so hot and a playboy. he just gets them off in other ways? sex with him is probably focused on him more so than his partner, even subconsciously. that doesn’t mean he’s bad!!

— lando

i’m sorry to my lando girls </3 i just don’t think he would. maybe he might be okay with the idea but he just doesn’t do it. the night’ll be fun. maybe you’ll get off, maybe not, but the night’ll be one to remember. you should probably raid his minibar on the way out.

— pierre

doesn’t give eater vibes at all. i wouldn’t be surprised if he hasn’t done it ever.

THIS IS MY OPINION. THIS IS A SILLY WEBSITE. JUST JOKES MWAH <3

[mazzystar24]

exactly! i wanted to like tommy tbh i liked him in 703 and 704. 705 was meh to me. i couldnt really find it in myself to care because the entire episode was about buck freaking out about telling eddie. 706 just made me ???? because of the bachelor party scenes. like why are we having the new bf dismiss buck at every turn while eddie is all in if they want us to root for this man. he wouldve had to change at work anyway so why didnt he dress up. then again in 709 he’s just shooting down bucks joy with the “enjoy it while it lasts” thing and then we already discussed 710. like sure buck made it a bit jokey but then tommy sounded completely serious when he said “no i dont. i hope you do though!” im someone who’s very sarcastic in her own humor and i couldnt tell he was joking. like i get that they want tommy to be snarky or whatever but something about it just falls flat for me. some of the comments he makes feel like stuff he shouldn’t feel comfortable saying yet to someone he’s only started seeing in the past couple months.

also the evan thing confuses me because lou said on cameo the script supervisor told him he isnt allowed to call buck ‘buck’. i wonder if thatll ever be addressed in s8 because that feels weird to me. especially since buck has insisted people call him buck in the past but idk if thats even anything to actually think about. like im not sure if the writers just dont know what to do with this man or if they’re actually writing him to be a short term thing. its so easy to add depth to their relationship and open up a chance to be vulnerable but they either choose not to entirely or give those moments to eddie -birthmark anon

NO SAME LIKE I AM DOWN FOR RIVAL LOVE INTERESTS TO MY SHIPS IF THEYRE WRITTEN WELL

I WAS MID TYPING I HOPE YOU DONT SEE THIS YET

Like I made a whole post about how the show bones had Hannah and she was the best and the way they wrote her made her GENUINELY likeable

And 911 couldve pulled that off so easily with Tommy but just keep choosing not to??? Like they are making (imo) very intentional writing choices that just don’t develop him or bucktommy very well when they could literally just NOT make those choices like they’re fully in control so while these things are realistic and can have good explanations the writers are intentionally choosing to include them and write them a specific way

Like idk about you but if I wanted people to aim for my couple I would go about it VERY differently

[destinyc1020]

I feel like we all feel the same but I got the vibe when z and JE were together that they were kinda bored like there was no playfulness. All speculation guys but From Z’s side I think she thought he was hot but he didn’t understand her humor so she scaled back. Idk if he understood the people around her either like Darnell etc like i doubt he listens or cares for Beyoncé for example lol Hence why she was lurking on Tom shit on twitter because she was able to do those things with Tom. From JEs perspective I think he thought z was cute and she was fun to hang out with at first but he probably found her childish and couldn’t understand the deal with memes ( makes me sad because she didn’t go to a real school so she probably is online a lot lol) or maybe understand the people around her or her taste in music and humor and found her boring and even worse like too childish. He also probably hated her clean public persona and couldn’t deal. I think JEs true love was Kaia. The way his relationship with her was the most authentic to him. They were the most similar in personality and humor. They probably liked the same things. But back to z, the playfulness she has with Tom their entire relationship with lipsync battle them jumping up and down in the Beyoncé concert laughing and giggling in interviews that could never happen with JE. Tom understands her humor and even adds to it. I think you can only do so much with looks. And to the girls, guys will never give you the affection you need unless they really really like you. I think z wanted affection from JE and he was blah because he wasn’t into her like that. He just didn’t like her and that is fine lol the part that bothers me is I know z felt insecure because he was hanging out with Kaia while he was with her and she knew. Z was liking Kaia’s pics too imagine the questioning and insecurity the wondering too. And then to be proven right on your birthday with pics with the same girl you are keeping an eye on. And for all this to be public lol lawd

Yea girl, I def think TZ have always had something special, that they just didn't have with their other significant others and flings/rebounds. 🤷🏾‍♀️

I never felt that Z and JE's energy matched. For example, Z is way more light-hearted, fun, and loves to laugh and smile. Whereas JE always seemed sooo serious and seemed to take himself a bit too seriously?

Even the way he handled the paprazzi on their pap stroll in NYC was totally different (him flipping them bird vs her trying to put his hand down). 🥴

They just seemed to have some very different values.

I won't say that JE didn't get along with Darnell. Darnell seems pretty easy-going. 🤷🏾‍♀️ If JE clashed with anyone in Z's circle, it was probably Claire and Law lol 🤭

Law took that one trip with them to Greece, and you never saw Law with them ever again. And Law seems like he speaks his mind, and is pretty as fvk lol 😆

Claire seemed meh about him, and always preferred Tom over JE (that was pretty obvious 🤭).

The only thing I will add though is about the music thing.... You and your partner do NOT have to like the same type of music, movies, or even food. These little things are not what keep a relationship together. Yea, while it's nice if you and your bf both love the same type of music, I know of friends who are married and they always joke to me about how they and their husbands do not like the same joke at all lol. 😅

Those are very small things Anon lol.

Also, how do we know that JE doesn't like Beyoncé? We really don't know that lol.

But anyway, that's the only thing I would add to this.

To me, TZ are the definition of a couple that are soul mates. Meaning, they're not just dating each other, but they also genuinely LOVE each other as FRIENDS. THAT type of love with your partner is very hard to find. That's the type that only comes once or twice in a lifetime imo.

🥰❤️

[martynsimp69]

HEY! as the second round of the mcytblr sexyman bracket settles in i wanted to take the time to thank everyone that turned out for #saintsweep in the first round. genuinely don’t know how any of this happened, but i was rly touched by the outpouring of support and positivity and enthusiasm from everyone who was willing to commit to the bit. (33%!!! 33!!!! A WHOLE THIRD!!!! 2206 PEOPLE!!!) 

i wanna thank specifically zloy and the bracket team for being good sports about the whole thing -- the nomination started as a joke, but it was from a place of genuine excitement and goodwill, and i’m glad we all got to have fun with it. sorry for not actually fitting the “yt” part of the mcyt sexyman tournament LOL. 

but, speaking of. i’d joked about making a minecraft video if i won when i first saw the nominations, but after everything that happened here in round one i’m probably gonna do it even tho i lost. i feel like i owe it to everyone who turned out and got really invested and also really confused about who this gay little tv was and why they couldn’t find him anywhere (SORRY ABOUT THAT). 

SO!!! one of the things i wanted to do with the potential video was possibly a bit of a q&a; about me/saint, darkwoods smp, the bracket, lore, builds, whatever, idk!! but i figured, y’know, if anyone has questions they wanna ask feel free to send em my way, either in replies to this post or just straight in my askbox, anon or otherwise. 

anyways!! thank you all again for everything -- i appreciate being allowed to take this whole thing and run with it as much as i have. it was surreal and hilarious and overwhelming and i am going to be riding the high for weeks. the bragging rights i got from this are insane. im putting official mcytblr sexyman nominee on my resume. godbless. 

here is a little saint i doodled at work today while i watched the percentages on the poll tick up. love u guys forever 📺

[lemotmo]

Hello! Welcome to a post 8.5 world lol. I am as always very curious to hear your thoughts on the episode. (I am also by extension intrigued by Ali’s thoughts if any of those lovely anons send them your way. )

For me I’d give the episode a B rating I think. I enjoyed the Halloween aspect of it all. It was nice to see that brought back. And there was def some funny moments. And the Buck and Eddie being BuckandEddie was always nice. The Buck Chim dynamic was great. The Madney Henren scenes were top notch. Karen wanting Hen there for the big moments of their family felt real and authentic.

Some side eye moments with the whole buck loudly declaring lube flying in and then immediately going ok Eddie. 😂

Eddie sucking that ring pop while looking at buck in the hospital near the end of the episode 😂

Eddie and Buck definitely had a lot of husband coded moments. And the contrast with Tommy in them was interesting to see as well.

And I did genuinely enjoy everyone’s costumes.

Now the not so good stuff.

I know we all say it happens but actually seeing Tommy being so..dismissive of Buck? As he’s telling his tale in the hospital. As he’s at home doing his research deep dive. Seeing him trying so hard to make that connection just for Tommy to brush it off. Make jokes. Or just flat out tell him it’s time to be quiet because he’s exhausted was just not fun to watch.

Eddie. Outside of the Buck and Eddie moments and honestly even in some of them, he seemed a little…ooc this episode. I don’t know if that was on purpose because of what’s coming storyline wise for him or if it was because this episode was Directed by Taylor Wong and she’s never been a very big Eddie fan. And she tends to write him very… straight and just ooc. Which honestly it being Eddie the former might explain the later lol. But then also like he literally watches Denny flatline? Watches Henren suffer over their child and then not even a mention of Chris? Nothing to show he even tried to reach out? Just him looking at a photo at the end of the episode? Idk that was not my Eddie Diaz tonight.

Henren. Not gonna lie the stuff with Denny while it did get me because it was so emotional and even knowing he was gonna be fine, i honestly could have done without it. I really really wish they’d find a new plot for Henren other than constantly making them suffer and traumatized. Like they literally just dealt with Mara last episode. And they couldn’t even have 1 episode to be happy.

The journalists. I love them dearly but I am baffled by how much they hyped up that Eddie and Buck handshake still when it wasn’t even in the episode. We saw Eddie out his hand out but then that was it. The rest was cut. And they knew that because they had seen the episode by that point. So didn’t enjoy how much they hyped up a deleted scene essentially. And then a lot of their articles tonight were just to much Tommy’s a good person. Tommy’s good for Buck. Nothings wrong with Tommy. For my taste.

And then Oliver. His pre episode 5 interviews. I am also confused by these. Because he gave such a different vibe for this episode than what we actually saw. Like was Tommy super helpful? No. But he was still a little helpful. And the way Oliver spoke you’d think he wouldn’t have done anything at all. It also sounded like the hurdles would begin tonight and idk maybe I just completely missed them but I didn’t really see any of it? I think they touched on Tommy’s jealousy of the 118 at the very end but that’s was about it and it’s not a new thing. Idk if they pulled another 7.6 on this poor man where they had him out here hyping up the bachelor party and karaoke scene only to then switch it up when the episode aired and cut things out while simultaneously seeming to extend BT, but either that happened again or he’s lost his ability to interview for episodes accurately lolol.

Now of course no closing in buddie. Just very confused and slightly frustrated with this episode I think. 1-4 were so good with pacing and story beats and this one just was not it. It felt like they were trying to cram maybe one or two things extra into it to get ready for 8..6 that they prob shouldn’t have.

Honorable mention: as I said before the difference in Eddie and Tommy was interesting. Eddie in the hospital room vs Tommy outside until the doctor left. Eddie teasing Buck with Buck vs Tommy laughing at Buck with his harbor crew. Tommy not being able to get Boil Buck to calm down vs Eddie being able to. The graveyard scene with Tommy behind Buck and a bit away vs Buddie graveyard scene Seaosn 6 standing shoulder to shoulder. There was a lot of these little moments where you could feel Eddie was in bucks life. Part of it. And Tommy was just..there but not? Like he didn’t fit in.

We also found out (and it’s floating around Twitter and tumblr but I’ll try to remember to send a link later) that Buck and Eddie both have a photo of Buck and Chris from the season 3 Christmas party at their houses. Which is just 😭😭😭. Buck who also now just has decorations in his fridge at all; has the photo of Buck and Chris from season 3 on the pier. So they are a family your honor. This got so much longer then I ever meant I’m so sorry 😂😂

Oh Nonny, you came up with some excellent points here. You can find my own thoughts and opinions on my blog. I just posted them.

Overall I agree with everything you said here. I'm not going to go into the details, since I just posted a very long post about this, but I genuinly don't understand why everybody was hyping up this episode? It was okay, but it wasn't special at all. I expected more Buck growth as well, but instead we got... boils and curses. It was a bit of a let-down, I agree.

I do think we saw some stirrings of beginning problems between Buck and Tommy though. There was a jarring lack of romantic energy, chemistry and intimicay between these two men. There was absolutely nothing, no kiss, no handholding, no hug... nothing. In fact, in most scenes they were very far apart from each other as well. They were intentionally seperated.

I think their 'struggles' will be that they lack that 'spark' you need to keep the relationship alive. They didn't seem like boyfriends, but like ordinary friends. So now I'm thinking that their inevitable breakup will be mutual. Them just deciding that they don't work as boyfriends, but they should remain friends.

Tommy was still kept away from everyone else. The only people he really interacted with was Buck and Eddie. So, the vibes of him being a 'plot device haven't changed at all. In fact, they've increased.

So yeah, I found that interesting.

What was that about that photo? I'll have to look that one up. 😋

[ryuichirou]

I wanna know more about your prison au like who are the inmates and who are the guards. Not to mentioned the story and their crimes.

Anonymous asked:

OKAY NEED MORE PRISON AU TWST BECAUSE IT'S MY FAVORITE AU OF YOU GUYS

I need to know who is exactly prisoners and who are the wardens...

And the esetting for the au... Please...

SPARE THIS POOR 💙 ANON THE PRISON AU MEAL!!

--------------

(This reply is written by Katsu uwu)

Thank you for your keen interest in this AU, Anons! <3 As we’ve already mentioned in this reply, it’s actually just a setting for any characters to be either the inmate or the warden, so they can be switched any time for flexibility. However, I think that now there’re certain circumstances that make characters lean towards their specific role + it’s just easier for me to imagine them in this universe, so I can name their positions and reasons for being in jail more confidently. I guess I just got inspired enough to write something. Still, there might be a chance where we post a fanart of this AU and it’s totally different from what I’ve written here lol Sorry

Let’s start with Heartslabyul. All of them are wardens, because they’re here to follow Riddle’s orders. It just suits them, you know? So weird. I wonder why... They also look so sexy in a uniform, all of them.

Riddle is the main reason this AU exists because nothing suits him more than being a warden. The way their whole dorm is about discipline just makes them perfect for this setting. He is that strict... upper warden?? idk, their (other warden boys, I mean) superior, so he is especially pressed about keeping order and having a good reputation. No one is allowed to break the rules, be it inmates or wardens, and if he catches you, he’s going to be mad. Everyone is informed of his temper, and his punishments are severe, although always in line with the existing rules. He never oversteps boundaries.

Trey is another warden, but he also might be a cook? Idk. He’s good at handling prisoners and can actually scare them off quite easily if he wants to, but he tries to keep the appearance of a nice guy. One time he joked about looking so intimidating without glasses, that if anyone other than inmates saw him, they might confuse him with a prisoner and put him in jail lol

Cater is just your typical warden, there’s nothing to see here... or is there? Sometimes he gets in trouble for uploading photos to Magicam, because those are selfies from the restricted areas.

Ace is an asshole and pisses Riddle off by accidentally fucking something up sometimes. He’s also one of those wardens that help prisoners out by smuggling things and bringing items to prison in the first place. Not for free, ofc. He’s an annoyingly sly guy, but he’s rather harmless even by Riddle’s standards.

Deuce is like the opposite of that. He’s so happy and proud to have such an honorable job that his mother is certainly happy about so he can’t make mistakes at any cost. Unfortunately, his partner is Ace, who’s hiding his shenanigans from Deuce, so Deuce is about to learn a lot of new things. Deuce is also pressured by his previous life, like “Wow, I could’ve been on the opposite side of the bars”, so he’s extremely conscious about it and feels ashamed of himself quite often. He really likes it when inmates regret their mistakes and genuinely want to start a new life after being released.

Leona is that guy who’d fuck you over so you get sent to prison for his crime... right, Ruggie? But he’s nice enough, so you get a sentence not so bad as the crime Leona’s actually committed. Which is stupid, because he’s a prince and can bribe himself out of almost any situation. That’s why he’s not in this AU at all – that and because we don’t care about him lol But he’d be an inmate, and his crimes would have been (attempted?) murder of his brother and, if you feel extremely violent today, attempted murder of his nephew. Not only that, but he’s the mastermind who organised both of those things and involved a bunch of people, so his punishment is going to be extremely severe.

Poor Ruggie is sitting in jail for some dumb shit and is going to be released soon. It’s not his actual crime, he’s done plenty of other things, so this sentence is like a cakewalk for him. A vacation from Leona, you can say, plus Ruggie gets bonuses from him when he’s free again! Ruggie mostly does stuff like stealing, pick pocketing, trespassing, selling and buying illegal stuff, smuggling, this type of things. So he’s in jail for one of those things, and thank god the judges didn’t know about the rest...

Jack is a very diligent prison warden. He’s insanely strong, very acute to what’s going on, so you need to be very quiet around him, otherwise he’ll hear about your escape plan very easily (same happens if you try to dig your cell with a spoon or something). The amount of times he caught inmates on the verge of escaping is the biggest one in the prison. He takes his job seriously and believes in law, which is the worst combi for prisoners. Even though he’s a very nice guy, he would be sus if any of the inmates tried to talk to him out of nowhere.

The next bunch is very interesting, because the entire Octavinelle is mafia. There’s no way around it, they’re all criminals, but it would be stupid of them to get caught and not get away by any possible means, right?

Azul is the mastermind behind everything that’s been going on outside. He surely wouldn’t be in jail, because hell, his plans are so calculated that it’s almost impossible for him to be caught off guard. He’s cautious, planning, and his schemes almost achieve perfection. Even if after so many years of his “business” he’d get a sentence, pretty sure he would spend it in the luxury of his own mansion. He’s a criminal, who, if luck is on his side, is going to gain some useful influence inside the jail – both among directors/governors/wardens and inmates. There’re many notorious names in this prison that he’d like to help out because of his benevolence. That’s his role in this AU.

His right hand Jade is there to help him out, of course. One time because of his love of chaos he’d get sentenced to a couple of years instead of Floyd out of his own desire. Plus, it’s nice to take a rest from Azul from time to time and explore new locations and people and learn about this prison from inside out. His sentence would sound very innocent compared to the things that he actually does on a regular occasion, and he’d love to see mortified faces of people on the trial if they found out... Such a pity he can’t tell them. So for now he’s there for... let’s say stealing. Innocent enough.

Floyd is Azul’s go-to for quickly getting rid of some annoying investigation before he figures out how to halt it completely and, if possible, bribing and buying new people into his net of influence. Floyd expected his first experience in prison to be terrible because of the curfew, the rules, those annoying commands all the time, but he found tons of interesting stuff, so he had a pretty good time there. His sentences are always something light, so when people hear what he’s for, they never believe it – Floyd looks like a bloody murderer, there’s no way this guy just stole a couple of hundreds of madols and didn’t kill anyone in the process. Sometimes Floyd gets captured simply because he’s not in the mood for running away from the police, and it pisses Azul off so fucking much. He fucks up almost ten of his plans at once by doing this.

Kalim is a prison warden. He’s very friendly, easy-going, naive and ready to listen to anyone’s worries and concerns. He believes everyone is here to become a better person and definitely to start a new life after their time is over, so he’s easy to fool. He’s that perfect warden to smuggle stuff around without him noticing anything, and if you get caught by him, there’s a high chance that he’s going to let it slide a time or two, but you have to be very convincing with your innocence act and say that you regret your actions. He clearly doesn’t belong in this position, and him being in prison is off for everyone who knows him. Why is he there?

Jamil, on the other hand, is a perfect inmate. He’s sly, he’s cunning, he looks nice and cute in front of the wardens and the way he behaves is almost too good to be true, which makes more intellectually gifted wardens uneasy. They’re right, because the amount of things in Jamil’s power in prison is insane. He’s probably one of the most influential people among inmates, and most of that is anonymous, so he’s safe. He’s cautious and manipulative, and that makes Kalim a perfect, although a very easy victim for that, tbh. He’s in jail for something trivial, but his crimes are worse than that.

The other plot for Scarabia boys is Kalim fucking something up and Jamil taking the blame to protect Kalim and his name. Then he can also take a break from his hard life as a servant... wow people go to jail as a vacation in this au lmao

Pomefiore... huh. I guess I can see them in both scenarios, but I’ll start with the one we drew a comic about.

Vil is an inmate. His sentence? Poisoned a guy. He’s actually poisoned many more, but then his sentence would be way too long if people found out, and this terrible dry air and not so great conditions are going to contaminate his beauty beyond repair. He was caught by accident, he didn’t plan to go to prison unlike a lot of guys on this list, but he’s going to escape pretty soon. He doesn’t really talk to many people and prefers to spend his time alone, reading and being as unapproachable as possible, but a lot of guys are charmed by him, and he has minions here and there who are ready to obey any of his orders. Even some wardens can’t escape his charm...

... like Rook, for instance. He’s one of the best prison wardens, being able to sense anyone’s escape attempts just as well as Jack can, which says a lot. He’s very attentive, but very secretive, and you never know what’s going on in his head, so inmates try to avoid him. He loves it when they try to escape though because of his whole hunter shtick. However, he miserably had a crush on Vil when they transferred him to the prison, and now Rook is completely at his mercy. He’ll quit his job the next day Vil is free to follow him to the end of the world.

Vil’s seriousness and attitude would make him a perfect warden who can control inmates not only by his harsh orders, but also impeccable looks. A fuckton of inmates want to fuck Vil, tbh.  Rook is one of them, for example. He’s that wild, uncontrollable beast who’s going to be tamed by Vil’s gorgeousness. Upon hearing that, Vil isn’t going to be happy, but he’ll be surprised by how non-barbarian and educated Rook actually is. It’s so weird for Vil that he chose the life of a criminal, but Rook can’t suppress his desire for hunting. He was caught red-handed killing someone, but his murder count is insanely high in reality.

Epel is somewhat tough to decide as well, but his situation is going to mirror Vil. So if Vil is an inmate, so is Epel, and the same with wardens. He’s a very diligent warden who has troubles with making inmates listen to him because of his appearance and cute looks, and he often thinks that this job is not for him. He used to yell at prisoners and threaten them, but when Vil became his superior, Epel had to start ordering people around more gracefully, and he’s not happy about it. Vil thinks that Epel can’t act the way he used to and that as a prison warden he needs to set an example of a proper, lawful citizen for the inmates, but Epel’s troubled past and his complexes don’t let him let go of that part of himself. Something similar happens when Epel is a prisoner – just because he’s in jail doesn’t mean he can act any way he wants and behave like a spoiled child and cause troubles. Epel’s crime is probably hooliganism, public disorder, property damage/vandalism or something along those lines.

Idia is the prison’s technician. He’s somewhat of a prison warden, but he usually spends all his time inside his room with a bunch of monitors and computers, from which he watches anime, plays videogames, and serfs the net monitors inmates’ activity, of course. Sometimes he allows himself to eat cup noodles, he doesn’t hoard them there at all. He’s quite comfortable in his little safe space and doesn’t like to leave it, but he has to from time to time – he’s not only responsible for the surveillance (he’s obviously not the only one with this job), his task is also to code and check the security system in the prison. So gates, alarms, notifications, lights, servers and other stuff are also on him. He prefers to work distantly, so these conditions are almost perfect for him, and he doesn’t have to go anywhere that much. He’s pretty scared of both the inmates and his fellow wardens and doesn’t want to talk to any of them. However, because he tends to sneak out of his room at night to work in the server room and walk around, inmates can instantly recognise him because of his glowing hair. Nevertheless, he’s such a rare sight that for most prisoners he’s more of a rumor. Some people had been in this prison for years and haven’t seen anyone even remotely resembling Idia.

Ortho is there to support his niisan. Mostly mentally and so that he wouldn’t feel alone. We can play with Ortho in this AU, as his pre- and post-chapter 6 selves are slightly different, and in the first case he’d just be that robot boy who can shoot you on sight and is technically his own alarm system and a little flying prison warden. In the second case, Ortho will be much more into the role of a proper prison warder, taking his own shifts and patrolling the cells and stuff. He’s more dangerous than Jack and Rook despite his innocent look and seemingly naive disposition, which is a common mistake for new arrivals. He sent quite a few people in the infirmary for breaking the rules and trying to attack a prison warden (this warden is him, of course). In both scenarios he would bring Idia stuff he’d asked, so people would actually see Ortho more often than Idia. Idia doesn’t feel comfortable with leaving Ortho alone with those brutes, though.

Malleus... doesn’t really fit in this AU at all. He’s a king, so he should be put into something more appropriate than that. Since there’re characters who don’t really appear either as wardens or prisoners, I think it’s okay to say that he’s one of those. However, he’s closer to being a prison warden, easily making every cellmate tremble at the sound of his name. He’d actually quite enjoy that, maybe he should try being one sometime :)

Lilia is an inmate. I’ve been talking about how a lot of wardens are very dangerous, and, well, Lilia is the most dangerous inmate in the prison. His sentence is lifelong (heh), his crimes are blood chilling, but what the court doesn’t know is that they didn’t even scratch the surface on his trial, judging him rather lightly in Lilia’s eyes. He’s so much more worse than that. He’s a war criminal, a general, a fae, and all of those things together make him the worst being ever. Inmates usually learn very fast that his cute face is very misleading and that his “mass murder” sentence is not a joke. Wardens are also wary of him, although he never attacked anyone and has been very nice and playful with them. And the best thing? He can leave the prison any time he wants. He literally can escape so easily it’s almost a joke that would put Idia’s security system to shame, but we can’t all be winners. He can, though. The fact that it’s a magic prison wouldn’t even help to hold him down. He can kill every single person in the prison within ten minutes, if he wants to. Why is he in prison? Because it seems fun to him, at least for now.

Sebek is such a prison warden. I feel like I can just leave it at that, and we all can envision his behaviour perfectly without me describing it. His constant yelling, his annoying orders, his condescending view on the scum of the earth just work themselves nicely into his prison AU self. Other wardens aren’t his huge fans, because Sebek has his own idea of how wardens should behave, and most of the other wardens fail to hold this image, so he constantly gets on their nerves as well. He’s rather unlikable.

Finishing up with Silver, another obvious warden. Responsible, serious, but slightly with the naive type of guys that we have. He’s closer to Deuce in terms of thinking that committing a crime is a shame, but he wants everyone to realise their mistakes and come out of the prison as a better person. He’s also very stunning to look at, so that inmates can joke that some of the wardens they have can be models, and he’s surprisingly strong.

How does this work with Lilia being his father? No idea, honestly...  Might think of something later.

hiii id love to be paired up with a character romantically, my pronouns are she/her and i would like to be paired up with a guy. i don't have any particular characters i don't wanna be paired if im being honest and traits that i look like in a partner are sarcastic sense of humour/funny, directness and someone who could show me love even if it were to be subtle. tbh i tend to go for nonchalant-ish guys who deeply care of that makes sense so i guess that would be a trait?? I don't really like serious guys, i consider myself to be very introverted yet im funny when i get comfortable, it takes time for me to open up but once i do it's like a switch and i get more chaotic, im also someone who can't handle a lot of stress and i genuinely tweak out, I also get incredibly worried about what someone might think of me but overall i think I'm a pretty loving person. My hobbies are listening to music, photography and writing. My love language is probably physical touch. My dream date is probably at the cinema, the backseats, messing around and barely paying attention to the movie or a movie night at home. My fashion style consists of oversized jerseys, baggy jeans and crop tops and I have black hair, tan skin and brown eyes. my mbti is ISFP andd my additional stuff ab me are i love animals, food and binge watching series. i hope this was enough for it to be lengthy? thank u sm<33 - 🐆

🥛 kuroo's definitely got a sense of humor

🥛 don't know if counts as "sarcastic" though

🥛 it'll probably be dad jokes and lame puns he throws your way

🥛 maybe a cheesy pickup line if you're really feeling upset and he's trying to make you feel better

🥛 man is the definition of "nonchalant but cares deeply"

🥛 he has a laidback attitude but he's very passionate if that makes sense

🥛 because he's very chill he'll always encourage you to be relaxed and not too hard on yourself

🥛 he'll try to relieve some of your stress through corny jokes and making funny faces

🥛 always likes to have a hand on you, especially in public

🥛 it's a way of showing others you're a couple but also it's to protect you and make sure you don't get lost or separated

🥛 will use your head as an armrest if you're short enough

🥛 kuroo will probably ask you to go to the movies on a first or second date because it's a safe option (although he thinks it's kinda lame because you can't get to know the other person)

🥛 so he'll be super excited when he realizes you're also not the type to pay attention to the movie

🥛 will probably do the thing where you try to throw popcorn into each other's mouths

🥛 he'll either be super good or really really bad at this

🥛 on future dates he'd probably take you to a karaoke bar

🥛 idk about you but he's definitely horrible at singing

🥛 but he's not insecure about it, he's just here to have a good time

🥛 he won't directly ask you to wear one of his jerseys to a game because he doesn't want to make you uncomfortable

🥛 but he'll probably drop hints like "i love seeing other people wear a jersey with my number on it, it makes me feel really special"

🥛 and he'll leave his old jerseys in a really obvious spot so it's easier for you to steal

🥛 when he sees you in the stands with his jersey on you know he'll be stealing the show on the court

🥛 hitting bounces on the ten foot line every time

🥛 blocking bokuto as if his life depends on it

🥛 no plan to let the youngsters shine this time

🥛 will probably go so hard kenma asks him what's wrong with him

runner up for you was miya osamu!

A/N: there you go 🐆anon, i hope you liked it! pls excuse the long wait 😣

I never thought about the multiple variations of when Dorothy was married as Sophia trying to publicly protect her but wow. I do wonder how much Dorothy understands Sophia is protecting her, because there's definitely Complicated Feelings between them and it seems like maybe Dorothy sees Sophia's disappointment/anger first (do they ever mention how Sal felt? I remember Dorothy saying she always thought he wasn't proud of her or something but idk if it was related to her pregnancy ... also gotta wonder how it effected her relationship with Gloria and Phil)

Hii anon! If you'd like a more in-depth take on Sophia protecting Dorothy through the inconsistency of her stories I highly(!!) recommend the lovely @the-eclectic-wonderer 's post on Dorothy's age when she married Stan (I haven't looked the same at Sophia since!)

I've got a lot of things to say about this, so I'm putting my thoughts under the cut to avoid clogging people's dashes haha

I personally think Dorothy doesn't really know the extent of how much Sophia cares for/protects her in those moments (& those moments specifically, because I feel like she's otherwise pretty attuned to the way Sophia shows affection? They've got pretty similar problems around opening up with other people and several of their scenes together show that they've sort of found a way around this!) But their general relationship aside, it's pretty clear in several instances that Dorothy is hurt by Sophia's remarks on her marriage with Stan, her pregnancy, etc — so I can't help but think she's not too aware of what Sophia is doing, trying to help and protect her? Especially when, in a lot of cases, she could've just said nothing and avoided hurting Dorothy entirely; there's usually a less hurtful path involved, but Sophia purposely chooses to make her remarks. Whether or not they're constructed to protect Dorothy in one way or another, she still makes the choice to hurt her too (although, knowing Sophia, I doubt she's fully aware of the effects her words have? Idk, that's some food for thought!)

It seems like this isn't a topic either of them has ever been too willing to discuss, let alone openly and emotionally. Sophia tends to deal with things with jokes and nasty comments, and Dorothy seems to shut everyone out entirely. I'm not sure where I'm going with this exactly haha, but what I'm trying to say is their coping methods are too far apart (and too similar) for the opportunity for any real, constructive conversation about this to have occurred? So maybe Sophia is reaching out to Dorothy in her way (the only way she knows how to) and Dorothy... Well, I think she mentioned it genuinely hurts her at some point (though I'm not sure if that was in response to a Stan-related comment or something else) which I think means we can conclude she doesn't see the deeper layer behind Sophia's behaviour — or maybe she does, but it doesn't take away the hurt?

As for Sal: I believe Dorothy mentioned something about his reaction in S5, E13: Mary Had A Little Lamb. I don't remember her speech in its entirety, but she mentioned something about "Only having one parent [Sophia]" for a while, so I think Sal took it a lot less well than Sophia.

Good point about Gloria and Phil too!! I genuinely have no clue. We do know Dorothy's a lot older than both of them (I think she was 7 when Phil was born, and if I remember correctly, it's implied that he was the middle sibling?) so if Dorothy was 17 when she got pregnant and married Stan, it means Phil and Gloria were 10 and under. She was, by all accounts, An Adult to them already — so it might not have damaged their relationship, so much as changed their perception of her? I'm sure they could've been a lot closer if Dorothy had been allowed to stay at home and be a child for longer than she was. As it is, I can't help but wonder if they ever saw her as their peer or more like an older relative?
