What's the difference between clexa and lexark?

Aldjdkslk anybody who knows what lexarke is deserves financial compensation 🥴

No but uhhh the difference is that Lexarke is the crack ship fans created from The100 and FTWD crossover. They created a nonexistent OC named Elyza Lex (think post apoc modern Clarke who rode motorcycles and carried a barbed wire bound bat and or shotgun) and transplanted her Australian ass into FTWD to ship with Alicia Clark. Complete headassery circa 2016-2017. What a time to be alive.

Could I ask what your sexuality headcanons are? I love comparing mine with other peoples’!

Ok second half of this; this is just like. non-students who i Actually have thought about HJBAFV not at all a comprehensive list. Again disclaimer i write all these chars as bi in my fics, also i am bi myself so the vast majority are also bi, and also leaving a lot of these vague so u can imagine ur favorite ship or urself or w/ever

ok lets start this off with Aizawa. I think....... hes another one who's rlly unlabelled, doesnt super care to think it through and define it, but calls himself gay bc his interest in women is very, very rare and it's just way easier to say than explain all that. Definitely do buy into the idea that he had a crush on Oboro in hs but i do NOT buy into the easermic agenda sorry. Definitely not someone who goes looking for dates, but doesn't say no if someone asks him and hes interested (also im not gonna give her a whole section but i saw a hc a while back that the Ms. Joke stuff is literally that shes a lesbian and hes gay and shes fucking with him and i love that so much i just wanted to put it out there)

on the topic of the erasermic agenda: Hizashi's pan and knew it before HS, had a sudden & intense crush on Aizawa for the first month they knew each other and then immediately got over it in favor of a similar sudden, intense, and then immediately fading crush on Midnight. Hizashi and Aizawa r just rlly good friends imo; maybe they messed around for a bit in their twenties but it never went anywhere serious. He dates around a lot, not even necessarily to settle down just to have some fun

Midnight is aro/ace but does get in qprs & gravitates towards women wrt that. Most people dont read vigilantes but theres a woman in that, Kazuho, who i imagine she's been in a long-term qpr with; her relationship with aizawa and hizashi leans a little more towards a qpr than a normal friendship, too, but it's not rlly defined that way

All Might is married to justice queer but v much not interested in relationships. He and that one guy from the first movie are ABSOLUTELY exes and i won't hear otherwise; it's the only relationship he's ever had, and they broke up bc he had to go back to japan. He was heartbroken but did eventually get over him; his lack of romance afterwards is from genuine disinterest and not being hung up on his past. I can see him finding someone else in his later years, after he's retired. Definitely feels like he's not worthy of it tho

Hawks is bi but unfortunately didn't get to figure that out until like Now in the timeline...... if youll let my dabihawks history shine through i think dabi was the reason JHBASFGJHB he was basically brainwashed by the commission to become a hero so he didnt have time to Figure That Shit Out; he knew he was into women bc that was easy & what the commission expected from him but then he started this undercover assignment and met dabi and realized Oh...... Fuck. Hawks is hard tbh, bc i think between the control that the commission has over him and his own convictions as a hero he doesn't pursue any romance (tho he does get crushes or find people attractive) and most of his flings are done to keep up his prettyboy act, not out of genuine interest in being a fuckboy. Can't imagine him having a relationship until well after canon but I do see him being interested eventually

Onto the villains, Shigaraki is unlabelled but probably would call himself queer if asked. Definitely admires women more but isn't very interested in romance; AFO actively encourages him to pursue the things interested in so imo if he were he'd talk abt it more lmfao. I kinda see him as demi as well, not the type to fall immediately but requiring a friendship beforehand; tho unlike Bakugo as i said in my last post I dont think it happens suddenly but rather slowly. Y'all know im a big fan of shigaraki being absolutely whipped for his s/o so i do thing hes a big piner, tho he's also pretty bold and unashamed of his affections. I'm a big fan of him falling for a member of the league or a civilian; definitely can't see him falling for a hero unless the hero was already halfway to turning sides already. I think he's also attracted to intelligence and someone who pushes him to think more abt his ideology...... maybe im just projecting at this point JSHDFBVAJKSHD but my point is that the gender of his partner is definitely the least of what he considers/notices

Dabi is bi and, here's my bold take, demisexual; not interested in sex unless its with someone he loves. Absolutely doesn't even think abt romance for most of the years where he's on his own. He's got revenge to plan. By the time he joins the league that hasn't changed much, and he's demi so he's not interested in sleeping around, plus he rlly denies any attachment to people at all. As I said in that other ask tho I do rlly like the idea of him with Magne, so I think they have a fling for a bit before her death :( it's one of the things that leads him to isolate himself further, unfortunately, even from Jin and the other League members with whom his relationships aren't romantic. I can see him dating someone post-canon bc i think hes gonna be redeemed lol. It could be someone he knew before but they probably didnt date again bc he was v guarded; i think magne was rlly the only person he dated

Magne is pan and heres the kicker: I think shes t4t, which led to a little moment just before she and dabi got together where he was like "she wouldnt be into me :/" but she was into him anyway so all was good. She got around in her circles, mostly casual stuff tho she yearned for something more serious.

Spinner's bi & trends towards women but does occasionally get things for men and they're almost always intense. He thought he was straight for a while even once he joined the league and then suddenly got a crush on Shigaraki (around the time of MVA) and realized otherwise LMFAO he's definitely a hopeless romantic type, the whole mutant prejudice thing makes it rlly hard for him and i can see him being rlly happy with another mutant-type; i feel like as he matures he starts to gravitate towards them

Toga is canonically pan to my understanding, iirc her interest in Uraraka and Deku is the same (and romantic) in canon tho i might be wrong. Poor girl just needs therapy. I like the idea of the two of them becoming her friends over her being involved with them but i totally can get behind her having a thing with Uraraka (and maybe Tsu) at some point post-canon (presuming she gets redeemed), tho I think a qpr between the two/three of them would be longer lasting. And again presuming she gets therapy i can see her settling down with someone, gender irrelevant

Jin is unlabelled bc he hasn't much thought abt it, definitely had a thing for dabi and for hawks which does make me sad on both counts. I think he likes women slightly more abstractly/aesthetically and gets crushes more on men,. The dabi thing fades as they get closer and start to view each other as brothers. In his later years he doesn't rlly care about romance, I think he enjoys the experience of crushing but doesnt like dating people; his found family in the League is far more important to him. But i can see him falling head-over-heels for someone quite suddenly and having a bit of a whirlwind romance. Also someone for whom gender isn't much of a factor

Mr Compress is also queer and also hasn't rlly thought abt it. Definitely leans more towards women; he's like 30 but i like to think he also goes for older partners, 10 or 15 years his senior KJBADSJFHB idk he just has that Vibe with the way he calls himself an old man etc. A lot of the league i cant see sleeping or dating around much, i feel like they prioritize each other, but I do think mr compress gets around more than the others. i can see him having a bit of a fuckbuddy who he catches feelings for

Kurogiri is fun; as Oboro I do think Aizawa's crush was reciprocated, tho he wasn't around long enough for them to act on it :( he's bi, tho kurogiri isn't supposed to have personal interests. I like to imagine the brainwashing isnt as good as AFO wants it to be tho so I like the idea of him falling for someone anyway. I also like the idea of the heroes managing to undo the nomufication and I 100% can see him, aizawa, and someone else (someone he was involved with as Kurogiri) ending up in a triad as a result of aizawa and the third partner helping him through the aftermath of all that shit

Lady Nagant is a manga-only minor character but im in love with her so imma talk abt it. Shes bi and leans VERY heavily towards women, probably spent years questioning whether she was rlly bi or a lesbian before finally having a fling with a guy that she genuinely enjoyed. Has only ever been in long-term relationships with women and I v much think she has a gf at home who stayed even when she was arrested 🥺

Finally imma talk abt Natsuo bc i love that boy. He's one of the few unmarried chars with a love interest and he canonically has a gf. I do see him as IDing straight in canon ngl, but the kind of straight where he might actually be bi but his preference leans so heavily towards women and he grew up in a bad home so he just doesnt rlly think abt it bc hes v happy with women anyway. In shiganatsu thoughts shigaraki is the first man he has a thing for; i rlly can see the two of them in a triad with a woman specifically, who helps the two of them find each other and is the one who initiates bc its definitely a weird situation for natsuo

[aurorawest]

"More about his kinks? His rich history of sexual assault and how that messes with him? His hang-ups around physical attraction and emotional attraction? Something else that I’m forgetting to list?" ALL OF THE ABOVE! Seriously, if you wrote an essay on each topic I'd def read it, LOL, I'm so on board 🥳

I’m so sorry for taking forever to answer these. I felt like I wasn’t really giving the topic the due it deserved—I still think I could say more, and say it better, but here’s what I’ve got for now!

TW for talk about general sex stuff and sexual assault.

Section 1: Who is Loki attracted to?

Loki is bi/pan (not a label he would apply to himself, but I’m going to use it as shorthand). This is something he’s known about himself since his early adolescence. He probably was more aware of being attracted to women, just because, you know, heteronormativity. I head canon that queerness wasn’t totally accepted on Asgard when he was young, but there was a wide range of opinion and there were certainly many people that were totally accepting (amongst them, his family). And by the time of the MCU timeline, my hc is that attitudes are largely accepting. So young Loki is aware he’s attracted to men, and he’s willing to pursue that, but he’s still nervous about making it widely known. A lot of that is tied up with not feeling like it’s Asgardian enough, it’s not the kind of masculinity that Asgardians seem to prize. 

My personal head canon is that Loki has been attracted to more men than women.

Section 2: When is he attracted to them?

I sometimes think that I sort of head canon Loki as demisexual (again, not a term he’d use). I see Loki’s libido becoming further and further separated from his capacity for emotional intimacy as he gets older. He gets to a point where he almost never feels attracted to someone unless he’s got that emotional connection...but he doesn’t like admitting to an emotional connection. So he’ll be like, ‘Oh, I just think he’s hot, no biggie. He just pops up in my sexual fantasies all the time, exclusively actually, and I regularly get off to the thought of him undressing��but it’s just physical! I don’t actually like him!” Like he’s fully aware that for other people, this is a thing that can be true. But it’s not true for him. In order for him to be really sexually attracted to someone, he has to have that emotional bond. Which again, he’ll deny. It’s a really healthy emotional cycle.

Section 3: Idk if it’s really sexuality but his genderfluidity

So again, I don’t think genderfluid is a term Loki would use to describe himself, and I also don’t think it’s quite the right word to use to describe what he is (just my personal hc, I of course do not have any issue at all with other people using the term to describe him). I definitely have Loki’s shapeshifting as part of his character, though I write him in his male form 95% of the time for a number of reasons, some of them related to canon, some of them more as a personal response to fanon. That’s out of scope for this ask, haha. I write him as identifying as male in his male form and female in her female form.

Section 4: Compartmentalization of sex as separate from emotional intimacy

Loki views sex, and his body, as a commodity. It’s another tool in his arsenal. He sees it as diplomacy, as a way to get what he wants, to save his life, whatever. He can and will use sex as a bargaining chip.

It’s maybe as a result of this, or maybe the other way around, that Loki doesn’t really feel sexual attraction to people unless he’s already got an emotional connection. He’s completely compartmentalized these two aspects of intimacy, to the point where he really fears the emotional intimacy that would lead to him feeling actual sexual attraction. Because he sees sex and sexual attraction as something he can control, it’s the less scary of the two. So sex is preferable to love. With sex, he can be in control (or tell himself he’s in control) of the situation, in the sense that he has consented to it in some way. But love? He didn’t consent to that. He doesn’t want to feel that. He can’t stop himself from feeling it and he can’t control who he feels it for.

Section 5: Sub/Dom?

I covered this in an earlier ask but I might as well talk about it again! My Loki is very very sexually submissive most of the time. Likes being put in his place, controlled, held down, told what to do, etc etc. He can be dominant sometimes, if the mood strikes him, but his preference is to be submissive.

Related to his nervousness around coming out, Loki very much felt like as the prince, as an Asgardian Man, there was like...a right way to have sex. If he was going to have sex with men, he was going to top. Only top. And he was going to be dominant about it. He had to be in charge, even though this really didn’t come naturally to him. So in his early sexual encounters, that’s what he did, even though it wasn’t what he wanted. This led to him having a lot of unsatisfactory sex as a young man, haha.

He also spent a decent portion of his life being ashamed of the kind of things that turn him on, because again, he thinks it’s bad optics for who he is.

Section 6: Kinks

My Loki isn’t Kinky™, he’s actually pretty vanilla. His favorite position is getting it from behind, and his second favorite position is missionary, and if he only did those two things for the rest of his life, he wouldn’t have a problem with it. He does, however, have kinks, and they are: authority and humiliation. This is kind of where the ‘very very’ comes from in ‘very very sexually submissive,’ ha. He likes feeling degraded, he likes being ordered around. Dirty talk is good, and preferably he’s being told about how bad he’s being and how he needs to be punished.

Caveat with this, which leads into my next point: he only really likes it if it’s with someone he loves. Because...

Section 7: Those kinks have fucked him up!

So part of me can’t help but think that the reason I see Loki with an authority kink is because of his daddy issues, haha. He pretty clearly has a deep need to please his father (not sexually, ew), and I think he then ends up being drawn to powerful authority figures. Thanos and the Grandmaster come to mind. I don’t head canon that anything sexual went on with Thanos (though I could be pretty easily persuaded to write some fucked up fic about it happening), but I absolutely head canon that stuff went on with the Grandmaster.

My head canon is that the Grandmaster was trying to get into Loki’s pants pretty much from the moment Loki showed up in front of him—constantly flirting, way too handsy, orgy invitations, parties with drugged drinks, the whole shebang. Loki was able to get away with not actually having sex with him, though, and always holding it out as a possibility in order to stay in the Grandmaster’s good graces. But when Thor and the Hulk fight in the arena, Loki offers sex in exchange for Thor’s life being spared (I have a fic about this, it’s called Lacuna). The sex is...not good for Loki. There’s definitely BDSM involved, and he is not into that. The Grandmaster rapes him. Repeatedly.

And...Loki is into humiliation and authority. So when he’s degraded and humiliated by the Grandmaster, and he gets off, he goes into this shame feedback loop. This is the kind of thing he likes, and if he likes it then there’s nothing wrong with what happened to him, and he put himself in the position anyway, and if he climaxed then it wasn’t assault, etc etc. He gets this way about non-sexual situations as well; like he definitely feels he deserved what he got with Thanos, and that he deserved to die on Svartalfheim because he feels responsible for Frigga’s death. He has this way of pushing blame off himself and never taking responsibility for his actions...until he does, and then he blames himself for everything.

Section 8: Yes I head canon Loki has a rich history of sexual assault

Oof, guys, Loki has been assaulted so many times in my head canon. His first experience was as an adolescent, where he almost gets gang-raped by two security guards. There were definitely other dubious to nonconsensual experiences in pre-Thor 1 times.

There are some traumatic times after his Fall:

He does some time at the Kiln, and he allows a prison guard to pretty much do whatever he wants to Loki. Loki uses this to escape.

Eventually, Loki ends up getting captured and sold into slavery. He ends up in a sex trafficking market, where he’s raped repeatedly, including gang-raped. He’s heavily drugged during this time to keep him from escaping but still has some memories of it. This is where the Black Order picks him up. They repeatedly remind him that they ‘saved’ him.

Then, of course, there’s the aforementioned stuff with the Grandmaster.

Section 9: Not that he'll ever call it that

Oh yeah but Loki will never in a million years call any of this ‘rape.’ In almost every assault, he’ll tell himself that he actually never said no, so actually, he was in control. He could have stopped it, but he just didn’t, because of Reasons. So it’s not rape. He had it under control. He did. Seriously. There’s no trauma.

He just tries not to think about the time in the sex trafficking market because he can’t really contort that into anything but what it was. If he has to think about it, usually he figures he deserved it.

I mentioned this in an ask recently, where I think one of Loki’s deepest fears is losing control. I think he really fears losing control over a situation, but his biggest fear is losing control over himself. In my hc, Loki really feels as though his grasp on his sense of self is tenuous at best; that he isn’t in control of his own mind (hello, Mind Stone, you didn’t help); that he might just do something that he didn’t plan or want to do. You know that feeling you get where you look at a window and think, What if I just jumped out? Loki really, really fears that feeling, because he’s not sure he can stop himself from actually following through. And stripping him of his bodily autonomy with sexual assault is just another way to fuck him up. Having him deny what it is because he’s so terrified of losing control adds a delicious layer of toxicity to the whole brew.

Section 10: But I still think he's capable of finding The One and having a great sex life and an unbreakable emotional bond

Having said that! Loki’s sexual trauma doesn’t actually hamper his ability to have sex. It does hamper his ability to fall in love, because falling in love is another form of losing control. I think that he could definitely get triggered by certain sexual things, but of course, I write him with Stephen, who is basically the kindest, most considerate lover ever, haha. I talked in another ask about how Loki’s humiliation and authority kinks, coupled with his lack of communication skills, lead him to expect Stephen to be a mindreader, and to just kind of...do the stuff that Loki wants him to do. But of course, Stephen isn’t going to do something that could actually cause Loki physical pain without being explicitly told to do so and receiving Loki’s enthusiastic consent. But Loki doesn’t want to communicate! Loki thinks it’s hot to just get ravaged.

My fic is about a lot of this stuff, not necessarily explicitly the sexual stuff, but a lot of the issues that are bound up with it—the control issues, the attraction to authority figures, the difficulty forming emotional bonds. Through the course of my main series, Loki is really picking away at getting better about all of this, and the endgame, of course, is that he’s able to accept being loved, and loving in return.

I feel like I didn’t articulate any of this as well as I wanted to, but I didn’t want to let this ask sit in my inbox forever, and I’ve been picking away at this now for like two weeks. So, I hope that was a satisfying essay! I could probably go on tbh, but I’ll leave it at this.

{Random HPCs} All the icons cause i'm too lazy to add them all!

||  RANDOM HC MEMES (Finished!) || This is a long, long post. So everything will be under read more!

🥳 -How do they spend their birthdays? Jackson: He loves a small outing with his friends. Bowling, dinner out, video game cafes, he really does not need a lot. However, he’s not a very social person, and would prefer to keep these outings to close friends only. Even the idea of people coming up to him to wish him a happy birthday is a little nerve wracking, he doesn’t like all the attention. Holt: Holt doesn’t really understand what a birthday party is supposed to be since he didn’t have a lot growing up (He was only able to be out at night, when most of the other kids would be asleep depending on the time of year). Now, he would prefer to throw his own party or event and invite anyone who wants to come. 

🎃 -What’s their favorite holiday? Reasons? Jackson: Jackson has always been a fan of horror movies, so he really enjoys Halloween. He is definately the type to not get scared because ““he knows exactly what is going to happen next”“, and his personal connections to monsters allows him to pick fact from fiction. He still enjoys the genre, and doesn’t mind dressing up for the holiday either. Ironically, he really enjoys taking on a character outside of himself. Holt: Holt used to really enjoy Halloween, but after certain events he feels somewhat melancholy about the Holiday. He likes the party scene and the energy the holiday brings, but there’s still a part of him that’s a little iffy about it all. But, compared to the other holidays in the year, this is one of the best ones.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 -What’s their relationship with their family like? Oh dear. Their family is where they are canon-divergent kind of. They only have one parent, Sydney, just like in the books. However, like in the webisodes, Sydney is the Jekyll and Hyde monster and their father is an unknown fire elemental who left when they were extremely young. Technically, Jackson and Holt are the sons of Sydney’s Hyde and their father. They only have a connection to Heath’s family because of Sydney’s research and her desperation to get help once Holt appeared around age four. Emma, their grandmother, was completely clueless on how to raise a half monster child, and when Sydney became a mother, she was even more clueless on how to raise a half Hyde half Fire Elemental child. Heath’s family was extremely helpful in this, even if Jackson spent far more time with Heath than Holt ever did (Queue: Heath didn’t even recognize Holt when they were reuinited). Jackson: Jackson had an extremely close relationship with his mother. She was extremely protective of him and he trusted her, even looking up to her as a scientist (or, in her case, science teacher). He never got into much trouble growing up and shared a lot of information with his mother. However, after discovering Holt, this relationship was damaged. Sydney gave him very little information on his grandfathers and on who Holt was, leaving him to have to do research for himself. Though he still loves his mother, there is a little bit of resentment there. Sydney generally lives her life as a normie and her Hyde does not come out very often, so Jackson has no relationship with her Hyde side. Holt: Holt has an extremely poor relationship with his mother. She projected a lot of her hatred towards her own Hyde onto him, and was scared of what Holt would mean for Jackson. Sydney did realize he was still apart of her son, and so still loved and treated him like her own, but the favoritism was very apparent. Holt was always getting into trouble as a kid, and he didn’t care much for school. He wasn’t too surprised that she had kept the secret from him, but there was a lot of frustration there. Unlike Jackson, Holt really didn’t care to know about his past, and from what little he does know, the idea of being related to Edward makes him uncomfortable. He aims to make the Hyde name his own and something unrelated to the man and the two Jekylls he lives with.   🚿 - What are their bathroom habits like? (How long do they shower, what do they do in the shower, what’s their bathroom routine, etc.) Jackson: Jackson is very clean, he’s a casual athlete and spends a lot of his time around chemicals, so he really can’t afford not to care for himself. Being part fire elemental, he really enjoys hot showers, so hot they would burn any normal human. His mother specifically got a shower to fit his needs, which much confusion from the plummer. Henry typically isn’t depicted with facial hair, so it is very likely Jackson cannot grow any. Beyond redying his hair and other basic hygiene, he doesn’t do much to care for himself further. Holt: Holt hates showers, but luckily for him Jackson usually handles that aspect of self care. Fire elementals and water don’t mix well, and the bathroom usually just ends up as a mess of steam and smoke. Water doesn’t hurt him, but it’s not a comfortable sensation. He is a bit more concerned with his appearance compared to Jackson, and will take more time to fix up his hair in the mirror and take care of his piercing. Holt occationally does wear eyeliner for outtings, but it is not part of a daily routine, and he wears very little of it. The mark on his face is a birthmark and does not need to be redrawn. 

🧼 -What’s their hygiene like, what do they smell like? Jackson: Jackson has to be more careful with fragrances since he works with so many chemicals and around lab mice. If he is working in a lab around animals, he tends to skip the cologne. But, when he’s not, he usually smells like spice and woody scent. Holt: He just looks like he wears axe, and Holt is absolutely the type to go hard on the cologne. It’s very sharp and distinguishable. Sometimes, their two colognes clash with one another and creates a scent unique to them.

🛌 -How do they sleep, how much do they sleep? Jackson and Holt, as a single monster, need less sleep than the average normie or monster would. When one side of the brain is activated, the other gets to rest. When one of the boys is out, the other personality is essentially in a semi-conscious dream state. This means that they only need to sleep enough to allow their body to rest since all the muscles are shared between them, so they really only need a few hours of true sleep a night. Jackson tends to take on true sleep more than Holt, and being part fire elemental he loves to sleep in warmth and will cacoon himself under blankets to make a little oven. Holt on the other hand really can’t sleep that well with the music blasting in his ears, though occationally he will take small naps. Both of them do sleep in very similar ways, and with the muscles in their face relaxed, the simularity between them is striking.

🧸 - Do they have any collections? If so, what? Jackson: Jackson is a huge nerd, and in my HC, really enjoys collecting Magic the Gathering Cards, D&D Dice and Books, and console videogames. He used to collect Pokemon Cards as a kid (And maybe, absolutely used to play with Heath), but he stopped collecting them when he started focusing on MTG. Holt: Holt really isn’t a material person, but he does collect records that he guards with his life, especially now that the trigger switched and he doesn’t have to hide himself from Jackson. He’s not a huge fan of old music so he doesn’t have a lot of vintage records, they are mostly new alblums.

💲 -Do they have a lot of money? What do they usually spend their money on? Jackson: Jackson doesn’t have a lot of money. It mostly comes from his family for birthdays and holidays, and since in my headcanon, he only has his mother and Heath’s immediate family, that isn’t much. Even though he’s fairly confident in getting scholarships, he tries to save most of his money for college (or, in older verses, grad school), but will occationally splurge to buy himself cards or games. Holt: Holt makes a good amount of money DJing. A single night can get him hundreds of USD. It’s certainly more than any monster his age should have. However, like I said before, he is not very materialistic, and he mostly spends it on equipment or nights out, but he does end up saving most of what he makes.

🎼 -Do they play any musical instruments? How good are they if so? Jackson: The last instrument Jackson played was the recorder in third grade. He doesn’t have much interest in the arts, not that he can learn any instruments at the moment anyways. Holt: Holt taught himself to play the guitar and can play both accoustic and electric very well. Not so much an instrument, but he is also fairly skilled in remixing music over a computer. He’s not that tech savy, but he knows how to use the application.

🍔 -Favorite foods and drinks? Jackson: Just in like canon, Jackson really enjoys mac and cheese. He doesn’t really have a favorite drink, but with his mother being British and the weird timeline skipping that went on, he does drink tea. Holt: Hot wings, the hotter the better. He doesn’t really have a favorite drink, but he does enjoy anything spicy. 

🕒 - What’s their morning routine like? Jackson: Jackson is usually the one to handle the mornings, because he is the only one allowed to drive. He usually showers to get out all of Holt’s product from the night before and combs out his hair to a messy mop before getting dressed and going, minimal effort required. Generally he doesn’t eat the meals given to him by the school just because it can be a little hard for normies to digest (or, even stomach) monster food, so he does try to grab some kind of breakfast before he leaves. Holt: Holt is usually not out in the morning, but in the rare occation that he is, he usually fixes up his hair, throws on a shirt and his jacket, and packs on the cologne.

[dragmiire]

here it is my dudes--a cohesive timeline of all that is g.anondorf... for my blog. this is explicitly for oot, as i have yet to actually think terribly hard on his main verse (in which is always a generic, on-going verse that remembers all past lives, essentially summing up every new game nintendo can fling without me having to work too hard to keep up and make edits) just because it is so open and flexible. i consider oot to be his first life, the first time the demon king demise was capable of finally reincarnating as a human man (until nintendo shows up at my house and shatters my kneecaps with a game disproving this), and it is his most significant life as it is the foundation that make him the man he is and discusses hugely important factors of his history that he carries with him to present day. tp and ww are extensions of this timeline, merely splitting off into separate eras, and botw is... it’s a hot mess.

anyways, slapping this under a read more bcuz it’ll probably get long. (mario vc) LET’S A-GOOO

born in the later years of the hyrulean civil war, g.anondorf’s birth was something of little celebration. under siege by the king of hyrule’s men, effectively trying to starve their people into submission, it was upon the third day that queen pritana nali’s head of guard, nadia dragmire, gave birth. in the dead of night, the destined king of the gerudo was born and laid in the arms of his mother, stunning all those present, having never anticipated that their prophesied king would come in such dire times, let alone to one without royal blood. queen pritana would have her child a few days after--a girl, princess ardin. utterly furious that the goddesses would mock her in such a trying time, their people not only suffering at the hands of the relentless hylians, but a guard to be destined to bear their future king, pritana had little choice but to make do. prince ganondorf dragmire would be immediately betrothed to the newborn princess ardin nali, and queen pritana formally surrendered to the king of hyrule, for ganondorf’s birth would surely be an omen of the tides to change. busy with formalities with the king to ensure their people did not suffer that much further, pritana relegated the duties of overseeing the young prince to koume and kotake, the twin witches of their tribe. their magic was often the lifeline of the gerudo, and serving on her council as advisors, it seemed fit that nadia would pay heed to any advice they would provide in the ultimate good of ganondorf’s upbringing.

AGES 0-8.

ganondorf was mostly raised by his mother, nadia, with the occasional bit of advice flung in here and there by the generally disinterested koume and kotake. while queen pritana had somewhat of an influence upon the young prince, she had little interest in the child not born from her, merely as to how he would serve their people in his future. she was preoccupied with matters regarding her own daughter and ruling her small kingdom, and was fully trusting in koume and kotake to take action where need be. in the crucial, formative years of his life, he mostly resided within the heart of the fortress where the queen and princess lived, kept under the tutelage of malena, a long time esteemed teacher of the royal family. it never seemed to terribly bother ganondorf much how often he was juggled between the home of his mother, to the queen’s chambers, far too young to grasp the depth of his purpose in life and why precisely his circumstances were different than that of the other children of the fortress.

AGES 8-13.

when ganondorf became capable of wielding a sword alongside a pen, nadia herself took him under her wing for his weapons training. not only was he to be an educated member of royalty, but he was to be taught how to lead their people in battle, to strategize and inevitably go to war, as queen pritana desired. so long they had been under the king’s thumb, their people wasting away in the desert while hyrule flourished, she foresaw change in the boy--he would be the gerudo destined to take the power back, to shift the scales back in their favor. nadia could not deny her queen, though her heart stung to see her child, so young and fragile still, struggling to lift a practice sword the size of himself. in spite of her quiet, mental struggle, she refused to allow anyone to take her place. she wanted to ensure him the best, and thus beginning from the age of eight, from dawn ‘til dusk, his days were split between his studies, and his training. he was taught to be swift, to think ahead, to be always on his feet--and nadia learned to swallow her heart when he would whimper rom the splitting blisters on his hands from wielding a play sword, and cry in pain when he happened to be struck. for he needed to be tough and resilient, to endure anything that would come his way. nadia lost sleep at night thinking of her ineptitude in properly teaching him because of her soft heart resulting in his demise. by thirteen, he was a cunning swordsman--a far cry from the stumbling, wailing child pleading for an early end to their sessions. crafty and sly, in spite of a growth spurt that had already bumped him up to a mere foot shorter than his already imposing mother, he was swift on his feet and quiet as a wolfos in the night. already was he forming into a talented young man at so tender of an age, personality as bright as the midsummer sun and with a love as deep as lake hylia. in spite of her quiet, unspoken fears, the hardships of being a blossoming young prince had not jaded him. instead, it so seemed her efforts at night, cradling him to sleep in the crook of her arms, serenading him with songs of their people’s history, had kept his heart softer than his calloused hands. he loved his mother, and he loved his people, and from this love was born a determination to do his utmost to serve them as prince and king, and learn what he could. bittersweetly did nadia cherish this, her fears of what may come to her boy forever at the back of her mind.

AGES 13-16.

the day after his thirteenth birthday, queen pritana declared that ganondorf would travel to the desert colossus and continue his lessons in the spirit temple under the guide of koume and kotake, the twin mages of the gerudo. upon their determination, they found an untapped magical potential within the prince rare among their people, and thus it was deemed he would be sent off to refine his craft, and simultaneously pay homage to the goddess of the sands for the gifts she had bestowed upon him.

silently, nadia was devastated. their sacred grounds of worship was a difficult, arduous journey, typically only made annually for the yearly festival paying respects to the goddess, for they could not afford much more. that, and ganondorf was sworn off from visitations. no distractions. nothing that would make him forget his goals. while unspoken, it was widely believed, and gossiped in the darker corridors of the fortress, that queen pritana had been growing quietly jealous of her head of guard, watching the relationship she nurtured with her son while she was left with a girl child who’s only right to the throne now was through ganondorf. it did not help that neither child seemed to especially get along. princess ardin regarded prince ganondorf with the same sort of air one would regard a cockroach found in their home, and prince ganondorf often would bully princess ardin for her haughty aura, and thus the pair were often kept separate. unwitting to all of this, while ganondorf went through his own tumultuous feelings, quietly terrified of what was to come, he was already long since an expert of putting on a brave face and pretending all was well. it was his duty to fulfill for his people, and thus, he would do it. unknown to all, in the time spent at the desert colossus, koume and kotake discovered something they had never anticipated. the dormant spirit of the great demon king demise, long since said to have been slayed by the first hero, the boy from the skies, lived within the young prince ganondorf, who served as his reincarnation and host. the prince’s great magical pool was born from him--demise. a destined warlock by the demon king’s blessed existence alone, the twin witches were beyond thrilled with their discovery. whilst not necessarily fascinated out of an inherent evil, their curiosity as to demise’s existence was not wholly innocent either. for the wellbeing of the gerudo, and the world at large, it would be in their best interest to figure out a manner of keeping demise permanently locked in a dormant state within young ganondorf, forbidding him from being able to access the youth as a host and puppet to pilot through hyrule. however, curiosity is a terribly damning thing. thus, in secret, unbeknownst even to ganondorf himself, koume and kotake concocted a plan to awaken the spirit of the demon within ganondorf, spending the next three years not only bestowing all of their wisdom in the realm of magic upon their prince, but spending his sleeping hours quietly rebuilding demise’s strength.

AGES 16-18.

when ganondorf set off for the colossus, nadia did her best to burn the image of him into her mind. his hair had begun to brush his shoulders in its length, and the baby fat in his cheeks was just barely beginning to melt away into strong cheekbones and a defined jaw. he hadn’t even been taller than her yet, though she knew it was on the horizon. still a baby.

when ganondorf returned, nearly did nadia not recognize her boy.

tall, already over her by a handful of inches, his growth spurt most certainly had come. his hair was long enough to be tidied back in a taut bun, and the roundness to his cheeks was fully gone, his masculine features sharp and distinct. even though he still had a touch of boyish softness to him, it was evident that the time spent at their temple had hardened him that much more, the muscles in his arms and chest visible, likely a result from the absence of the sweet treats she often snuck for him.

as he spoke to her, voice rumbling and deep, it took all of her strength not to cry in front of her fellow warriors and her queen, reserving it for when they would finally have a private moment for her to hug her boy. the image of the king that he was had finally begun to take shape, and she was simultaneously bursting with pride, and utterly terrified of its implications.

for the following two years, the once mischievous, bright-eyed young boy turned quietly, scholarly prince would spend his days preparing for his coronation day. his eighteenth birthday would mark the passing of pritana’s crown to his, as per tradition of the hundred year male reaching adulthood, and thus, each and every day to that point would be spent refining and polishing what he had learned so he may guide their people with wisdom, courage, and power. admittedly, ganondorf still felt undeniably hesitant of it all--he was still but a teenager, after all, and the queen was only in her forties, refined and wise and certainly a far more suiting leader than a boy who hadn’t even begun to truly find himself. nevertheless, he was steadfast, and dove headfirst into his duties. while he may not have known himself, he knew his people. their traditions, their passions, their love for one another--the missing puzzle pieces of his own identity were filled in by what he learned each and every day when intermingling with those he saw as extended parts of his family. in between his studies, he would venture into the fortress and investigate the daily on-goings that were not a necessary part of his curricular.

queen pritana frowned upon this, always looking on with great disdain when catching the future king among the seamstresses, trying to follow along with every stitch and shift of the needle, dismissing it as work he did not need to worry himself with, as it would always be delegated to someone else. never was ganondorf flustered by this, for even if it was not something he would do (especially not, given how he pricked himself with the needle more times than he managed a proper stitch), he wanted to know. he wanted to be educated so he could relate on a level his family was deserving of, so that he may understand and feel their needs as if they were his own, and act accordingly.

the queen begrudgingly allowed it--so long as he never let his studies slip.

quietly, ganondorf found it a good excuse to be able to intermingle again with others. the colossus had been achingly lonely, koume and kotake seemingly always occupied with other things in their breaks. he hadn’t any peers his age, or anyone else at all, and anyone who made the pilgrimage to the temple dared not speak to him, lest it travel back to queen pritana and she react accordingly. thus, he drank in the stories, the on-goings he had missed. the raids on hylian caravans for goods, the improvements they had figured out for the iron knuckle’s armor for combat, the girls born into the fortress within the last three years and the women who had left their walls after finding husbands in hyrule. greedily drinking in everything he had been without, ganondorf’s mind always lingered upon those who left. was the fortress, the desert, not enough for them? was it truly love that they had found, or was it a hospitable home with a guaranteed warm meal and no threat of danger looming over high stone walls that had lured them beyond? it was a question that clung to him, one that would be a guiding principle in how ganondorf would serve his people. if they were to leave, then so be it--but he would not allow it to be of reasons that he could not change. he would carve out a prosperous future for them at any cost, so that those who would leave the fortress may consider taking a second look back, and think of what they were going without, not what they were escaping. from boy, to teen, to man, the years passed, and on the day of his eighteenth birthday, young prince ganondorf dragmire was no more. as pritana’s crown passed from her head to his, ganondorf rose from his taken knee to stand tall. before the gerudo, he now stood before them as king ganondorf dragmire, and solemnly did he swear to bring them to a golden era.

AGES 18-21.

as pritana stepped back as queen mother, her throne and powers relinquished to the new king predestined as their new ruler, the promise nadia had sworn to her came to life. princess ardin, descended from the unbroken line of royalty that had come before ganondorf had been born, was to be married to the new king, and within a week of his coronation. there was mild chaos surrounding arranging two separate ceremonies, and ganondorf mostly kept himself out of it, as did ardin. neither were terribly thrilled--in his absence, ardin had taken liking to playing guard. her handiwork with a spear rivaled even that of nadia’s, and while her royal bloodline forbade her from participating in venturing beyond the desert, lest she be wounded, or worse, outside of it, often did she speak of the potential excitement of finally being able to journey to hyrule among her fellow women and experience the thrill of gathering resources for the fortress. ganondorf served as a cruel reminder of what was not to be.

her fate always remained intertwined with his, and often, she wished to have swapped places, and to have been born to the guard’s line, so she may serve her people at the front, rather than sitting like a glass doll upon a throne she did not want. the day of their wedding was the closest either had ever been to one another, and it would be one of few times ganondorf could count on one hand they would be close again. their marriage was one conditional and loveless, though with years of added maturity, the childish disdain had simmered to mere disgruntlement at the circumstances they had been thrust into. both, however, were in agreement on one thing: it was for their people, and out of their boundless love for them, they would find a way to be amicable with one another. princess ardin was crowned queen, and from that day forth, she would serve at ganondorf’s side as his aid--or at least, she would do so in appearances.

AGES 22-25.

even if their relationship was not loving, he and queen ardin still managed to have three daughters in their time together. the first was born just barely before he had turned twenty-two, a small girl named amna. the destined, future ruler of the gerudo in his passing, ardin and pritana alike were pleased with the seeming compromise of both their new king’s bloodline and their own carrying on in this girl, who quickly became a beloved member of the gerudo. in the midst of her birth, ganondorf ventured often and frequent to the spirit temple alongside his surrogate mothers, koume and kotake, on journeys explained away as necessary to ensure the goddess of the sands’s favoritism remained for their people. for weeks at a time would he vanish, and while many of their people did not think twice of it, often did nadia fret, feeling something amiss.

and she was right. whispering into his ear, nurturing a seed sown in his youth, koume and kotake reminded him often of the despair their people lived in.

ever since he had taken reign, the gerudo had seen little to no improvement in their daily lives, still forced to scavenge and behave like animals in order to find the means for themselves. when ardin fell pregnant a second time after amna’s first birthday, ganondorf knew he had to do something to either make the desert more hospitable to their growing populace, or seize a land that would serve such purposes.

thus, clueless to their ulterior motives, he would spend weeks, building into months, out of the year on ventures to the temple to work with koume and kotake on improving his latent magic that had, up until that point, been of minimal concern to him. by his mid-twenties, ganondorf was a profoundly powerful magic user, a true warlock in his own right. his might was uncontested in the valley, and when ill-intending visitors tried to lay siege upon their fortress walls, they were sent packing with ease, which greatly pleased ganondorf--but it was not enough. power would not feed his people. his eyes turned elsewhere, from within the desert he had so desperately sought answers, to the truth that had laid before him all along, with perpetually green fields and a wind that caressed the cheeks of its inhabitants.

AGES 26-29.

hana was born in the dead of winter, just like her father. amna five, and her younger sister, aliya, four, both girls were old enough to comprehend a new sibling, and utterly delighted in it. it would be his and ardin’s last child, for she grew tired of pregnancies, and had sights on doing something other than child-rearing. much to ganondorf’s chagrin, she often would pass off their children to caretakers so she may occupy her time with her own passions, joining the guard as she had dreamed of doing as a child. she had wanted children, yes, but only in the most basic of needs--she wanted heirs, girls that would please her mother to pass down their heritage and throne, but no more. begrudgingly did ganondorf allow it to slip, for he was parent enough, delighting in the joys of being a father and spending his time home, when separate of his duties, playing with his girls. however, always at the back of his mind was a hunger. the reminder of what they all were lacking, what he had yet to bring as he had so vowed the day of his coronation. a voice, quiet yet always present, whispered in his ear, telling him of how the love with which he was looked at was falsified, feigned in order to please a king they feared to defy, while he continued to fail them. their swelling numbers were beginning to be too much, and he was not blind to the women of the fortress cutting meals to save them for their growing children. when hana turned three, it would mark the seventh time the king had extended an invitation to the king of the gerudo to take knee before him and join the alliance the other races had aligned themselves with. out of pride and tradition, it was always denied--queen pritana had only enacted a truce between their kingdoms, but as her predecessors had before her, she refused to truly kneel and bow to hyrule’s might. to do so felt kindred to admitting they were the superior people, and no one in the fortress was willing.

until ganondorf.

none were more shocked than queen ardin when he announced his plans to travel to hyrule and secure a partnership with the king, knowing the implications that their ruler, proud and indomitable king of thieves, would be made to bow. untold to them all was the darkness blooming, the hunger that had opened its great maw within him.

demise had begun to stir and awake, and with koume and kotake’s gentle nudging, he fed upon the good intentions of ganondorf’s heart, until it had begun to thoroughly blacken, warping it. while believing it would be a new era of the gerudo to present his loyalty to the king, in the back of his mind, ganondorf had begun scheme. with nothing left within him, he hungered--he hungered for what he felt they deserved, he hungered for a land prosperous and for nights without a bone-cold ache, he hungered to fill the gnawing void within him that spoke to him in pitch darkness of what it was he needed to do to occupy it.

prior to his journey to hyrule castle, ganondorf took up his mother’s dagger, and cut away the long hair that was the mark of his people. years of careful tending fell away in choppy strands, dismissed as an act to show the king of his readiness for change, though quietly known, truly, what it was.

saddling his war horse, astor, for the long journey ahead, ganondorf departed with a pair of his royal guard at his side, and went into castle town alone, telling them to return home.

it would be the last time they would witness their king, and the last sight of him they would be able to relay back.

AGES 30-37.

at age thirty, ganondorf became a member of the king of hyrule’s court, kneeling before him to swear his fealty, and promising a golden future for them both. within but a handful of months, castle town was in ruins, and the king slain. if asked to recall the series of events that happened, ganondorf would, truthfully, be unable to say anything other than it was truly a blur. through eavesdropping did he discover a sacred relic right beneath his nose within hyrule itself--the triforce, a holy relic capable of granting the user any wish he may desire upon laying his hand upon it.

and, oh, the king’s foolish daughter. zelda. while even ganondorf hadn’t realized it in the beginning, her prophecy, the dream of dark clouds coming to consume their kingdom, was true--and his part to play in it was likewise his destiny, try as he may to change it. but a handful of years back, and the triforce in his hands may have not splintered off to its chosen bearers, however, as ganondorf stepped foot into the sacred realm and defiled it with his presence, there was little left of the young boy of the desert with a heart full of hope. arriving to hyrule and witnessing its bounty, taking in the greed of its denizens who found their blessings to be a mere given, ganondorf had been overwhelmed with his want. demise stirred, awake and starved, and ganondorf set his hand upon the triforce, its piece corrupting in his hand with the taint of demonic magic.

no longer would he attach himself to the title of ganondorf, king of the gerudo, for as his newfound power filled his spirit and gratified the hunger within him that had ached for so long, he was reborn. his monsters sweeping across the land of hyrule to seize it for his own purposes, he was the demon king ganondorf dragmire, the origin of evil as hyrule would always know him.

[ramblings-of-a-mad-cat]

Do u have anymore HCs/info about the Fawleys? I always enjoy reading them 😊

Thank you! That means so much to me! 

At this point, I do have other ideas I’ve been thinking about, but a lot of them might depend on how the story of HPHM turns out. Example: Suppose that the Rotfang Theory - the idea that R is the ministry conspiracy mentioned in passing by Luna in HBP - turns out to be true. If that’s the case, my head-canon that the Fawleys have been involved with R for several years, doesn’t really gel with the idea that they’re usually Healers. The Ministry and St. Mungos are two different places. It could still work though. But there’s no guarantee that R is Rotfang. It could be something else. I’m just generally hesitant to further the lore of the Fawleys too much until we know how the story is going to play out.

That being said... 

I’ve been developing the character of Arik Fawley. (Sometimes spelled Eric.) Father to Jacob, Gail, and Luca. 

He’s a man who likes singing, as well as baking. 

His favorite subject was History of Magic, he actually got along very well with Binns. He also joined the Charms club. 

He was in Ravenclaw, and he attended one Slug Club meeting before deciding that he loathed the atmosphere.

Arik had a brief stint of teaching at Hogwarts following his graduation, teaching History of Magic for a year to give Binns a vacation. However, he never planned to stay long term.

His younger brother Ramon committed suicide with no children. (An unfortunately common fate among this family.) and his younger sister Alice? She married Frank Longbottom, and the rest is history. 

Arik, like his parents before him, and many other generations, sought to reject his “duty” to the Cabal. But they have a way of persuading people. 

Like the majority of the Fawleys, he was born with the Mark of Despair on his hand. 

In his adulthood, he experienced a mental breakdown following Ramon’s death. He attempted to rid himself of the Fawley curse by cutting off his own hand. The Mark of Despair simply reappeared on his remaining hand. 

He died of a fever when Jacob was at school, that was seemingly brought on by Dragon Pox. Which the whole family contracted after Jacob came home sick for the summer holiday. Jacob always blamed himself. 

Then there’s Nina Fawley, the mother. As she’s based on a canon character referenced in the game, expect more spoilers below. 

Nina was born into a Pureblood line, though I have yet to decide which one. Currently on the fence between the Greengrass, MacMillan, and Burke families. 

She had several siblings who were very high strung and required a lot of attention. Nina was recruited to be a third parent and there was never enough love left for her. It would not be inaccurate to say that she resented this.  

Unlike Arik, she truly wished to join the Slug Club, but her sister spread horrible rumors about her and made it impossible for her to function in the environment. 

Nina was in Ravenclaw as well, two years above Arik. She was very, very good at answering the Knocker’s riddles, and became known for this. Arik had a crush on her well before they even met. 

Speaking of, they met after Hogwarts. The moment she was seventeen, Nina turned her back on her family without an ounce of regret. She made her way up through the ranks to become a Healer at St. Mungos, like her old classmate. 

While tending to her patients, Nina treated a woman who was old, in constant pain, and frankly not long for this world. The woman begged Nina to help speed her death, as an act of mercy. Nina did so, and this event changed her life. She had always been taught, as anyone, that killing is evil. But she had just done so...for good. It shook her entire understanding of the world. 

Now in a new environment and able to start over, Arik and Nina took to each other quickly and started dating. It wasn’t long before Arik told Nina the truth about his family - about their curse, and their connection to the Cabal. Nina had no objections to this organization - she wanted to join too. It was perfect for them, and with no barriers left, they had no reason not to marry. Their children followed soon after.

Nina found acceptance among the ranks of R, that she had never found before in her life. She liked it. Ironically, she lived for the days she would spend in the Cabal, and despite having promised herself years agi she would never favor any one of her children over the other...the truth is, she kept that promise...but only because she neglected all of them equally. 

Arik...did not die of a fever. It was poison that killed him, only meant to resemble something innocuous. It was not the first time Nina had taken life, and she was a Healer. She knew how to induce a fever. She loved him, she truly did, or so she believed. But he was in her way. In the way of the R. 

Jacob was the first Fawley in decades, perhaps centuries, who did not submit. He fought R with everything he had, and though Nina delayed this confrontation for as long as she could, and tried to find alternatives to make him behave, it was useless. And the conflict eventually put mother against son. Here, I’ll say no more. For Jacob’s fate in-game is still, in my opinion, uncertain...

Final, random note. Nina absolutely knows Rakepick, and mentored her. When this happened in the timeline isn’t altogether clear to me, but I know it happened.

*deep inhale* amberchase marriage headcanons ✨

Amberchase Marriage HC

WOW. You went for it with a tough but interesting one. I’m guessing that, if you’ve read ANY of my headcanons that I always overthink it, so bear with me.

- So, to get as far as Rachel and Victoria getting married, we need to make some drastic changes. The first one is: this is a Love is Strange AU we’re talking about. No Jefferson, no powers, no nightmare realms, Rachel is poor, and Max returns junior year.

- Second AU note: if you’ve read basically any of my fan fiction, you’ve probably seen a reference to a head canon I have that Victoria and Rachel hooked up at a party early in their junior year, but Rachel ended up using that as fodder to make Victoria look sad and desperate, sparking further-escalating slander and humiliating hijinks between them. My concept for an Amberchase AU has always started at this point - Victoria waking up the following morning, Rachel is still there, and treats her affectionately. What follows is a series of misunderstandings and (apparently) one-sided pining (Nathan is a big part of this) for approximately one year.

- Because I’ve already said this is a Love is Strange AU, let’s just go for it and say that their next big development comes during the photo contest in their senior year. They pair up, naturally: Max might be a better photographer all-around than Victoria, but with Victoria’s eye for portraiture, Rachel swooped in to ask her before anyone else could get a chance. The following week gave them the one thing they never had: an excuse to be alone together. There’s drama, nostalgia, and although they acknowledge their mutual admiration and attraction, they don’t get together - they don’t want to do the long-distance thing.

 - Although Victoria does end up going to school in California, she does so in the Bay Area, and the two only talk occasionally on Facebook. Rachel is the busiest she’s ever been, especially when she starts trying to do school alongside her unstable modeling work. Living with Max and Chloe helps, but money is always hard, and now that Max and Chloe are dating, Rachel’s loneliness grows deeper.

- For a photography project in her sophomore year, Victoria asks if she can drive down and have Rachel model for her again (paid, of course - Victoria has standards to keep). “You know, you’re the best model I’ve ever had…” Rachel opens up about how hard it has been to stay in modeling. She’s never making enough to get by, and although scholarships and student loans are making up the difference for now. She’s thinking about quitting to devote herself full-time to a Law degree. And it’s not like Victoria thinks that’s a bad move, but at the same time… how much Rachel wanted to be a model was literally the first thing Victoria ever knew about her. She knows this is giving up the dream. And she doesn’t want that. So the two of them start talking more often, networking where possible (Victoria’s very good at that).

- Two years pass, and unlike Rachel, Victoria graduates on time (with a Business degree). And here’s the part of the AU I find tough to stomach, but it feels necessary: when Victoria decides to move to LA for work reasons, she knows about Rachel’s situation, including how much she’d want to stay close to Max and Chloe, but says that she wants a roommate, and she’d prefer Rachel as a roommate to someone she met online. To everyone’s surprise, a few weeks later Rachel says yes, and they sign a lease together. “It’s practical,” Rachel tells herself (and Max, and Chloe, and Victoria), but really, Max and Chloe’s 5-year relationship is just tighter than she is with them.

- When they move in together in Fall 2017, Rachel for the first time feels an incentive NOT to sleep with Victoria. Max and Chloe just moved into a new apartment, and if she blows things with Victoria, it’s a year of sleeping on their (or other friends’) couches. That’s all well and good, and Victoria doesn’t question it, but they like to complain to each other about work (they’re good at motivating each other), and eventually, almost off-hand, Victoria remarks, “God, this would be so much easier if we were married.” And Rachel says, “I guess we could be. Technically.”

- They get into a BIG talk about how they feel about marriage. They’re both lukewarm: Rachel because she doesn’t like the symbolism or how her parents’ marriage ended, and Victoria because her entire concept of marriage is based around a nuclear family whose sole purpose is to raise children. Rachel wants kids someday. Victoria doesn’t think she does. Still, the tax breaks, the medical rights – the literal hundreds of benefits of marriage in America weigh on them heavily. So they come to an agreement: let’s get married, then see if the benefits still outweigh the cons once a year.

- And once again, to the surprise of literally everyone, they do it. They refuse to have a ‘proper wedding’ precisely because they don’t want to give their families the impression that this is a ‘real marriage,’ but Max and Chloe are still witnesses and Courtney EXPLODES on Victoria’s timeline with shock and delight (they haven’t stayed close since high school – just close enough to be Facebook friends).

OKAY! WE’RE HERE! I DID IT! I GOT THEM MARRIED AND NOW I CAN TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE HEADCANONS.

-        This relationship is founded, above all, on mutual drive. These are two girls with dreams and the talent to make those dreams real. More importantly, they work like crazy – early on, work keeps them from really developing their feelings for each other.

-        Slowly, they get drawn more and more into each other’s interests. This starts before they get married, but after they’re married, they feel more incentive to get involved. Rachel loves improv and Vic kind of hates it because she thinks she sucks, but if the two of them get on stage? They’re powerhouses. They’re witty and charming and creative, and NOBODY throws out weird-but-cool twists faster than Rachel.

-        Of course, Rachel gets pulled into Victoria’s secret interests (not really that secret if you’re living with her, but still): catchy but meaningless pop songs, sci-fi/mecha anime, and computer games (Rachel refuses to try FPS until they buy a PS4).

-        Despite living together and being literally married (or, more accurately, because of these things), they’re relatively slow to develop and express their feelings. Doing so comes with the fear that life will, inevitably, pull them in different directions. It’s their little rituals that make these things manifest: sitting close and cuddling when watching TV (Rachel misses being sandwiched by Chloe and Max), picking each other up after work. One of the last ones to develop is kissing before Victoria leaves for work, which they’re super awkward about until eventually they do it automatically.

-        During the whole time they’ve been living together, Rachel has typically not had time to develop a steady relationship (Max and Chloe eat up most of the energy that work, and school don’t), but she has had plenty of hook-ups and friends with benefits. She did her best to keep that out of Victoria’s sight even before they were married, but after they started becoming romantic, she figured it was time to have an explicit conversation. To her surprise, Victoria was unbothered – she knew Rachel had no real designs towards monogamy, she just wanted to have more explicit conversations about what boundaries would be appropriate. Rachel figured Victoria would also seek other relationships, but Victoria always replied that she “wasn’t looking to date right now.”

-        Their first anniversary was also their first time discussing whether to continue their marriage for another year. Their financial situation was a little better than the year before, so their ‘Pros’ column was looking weaker than when they’d decided to get together. At least, until Rachel said, “Well, I also, like … love. you.” ‘Oh. I mean, I love you too.’ And after a very weird but tender moment, they wrote it down: Love

-        It’s pretty soon after this that they go shopping for sex toys for the first time. The sex they’d had since their junior year of high school had been very vanilla and typically very drunk, but if they were going to go and be in love or whatever, they might as well really go for it. It turns out their tastes still run pretty vanilla, but at least they pick up a LOT of vibrators over time (and a copy of Battlefield Lovers, which they only play ONCE but it sure does spark a new kink for Victoria).

-        We’re now caught up to 2019, so that’s all I’m going to do for this post, but the one thing I know going into the future is that the meeting they have every year to decide if they’re gonna stay married for another year slowly evolves into a session of trashing marriage as an institution and then talking about all the things they love about being married and each other.

MDZS Cupid System AU (Canon Divergence After the 1st Siege)

Once again I am here to deliver a very intriguing MDZS Headcanon on behalf of our wonderful Anon. Send praises their way please! I’m copy pasting the parts because I want to give it a proper title!

PART 1/14

What if after WWX cannon death he got hired by the cupid system where he has to make 2 designated people get together! No one can recognize him and after he leaves for his next mission there will only be a vague memory of him left. He also jumps in his own timeline around and always has the age appropriate appearance. WWX doesn’t have all of his memories and only knows that something horrible happened to him and he doesn’t actually want to return to the world. 

PART 2/14

But that is not his decision to make but he is told that he will get a reward when he finishes enough missions. As a beginner mission he has to bring the ghost of a woman that is bound to a hairpin to the man that she loves who lies in the burial mountains; as he goes there and searches for the grave or corpse he meets LWJ who seems really depressed.

PART 3/14

To cheer him up he makes him search with him. They find the ghost of a man over his own corpse standing. They make a grave for him and bury the hairpin with him. The couple thanks them and it comes out that they never got a chance to confess their love and the only thing left of when the woman was alive -the hairpin- was carried off the mountain. 

PART 4/14

The ghost pair can now move on after confessing to each other with smiling faces. As WWX begins to disappear he gets the feeling that he forgot something really important and he feels a pull. He takes LWJ hand and pulls him further into the mountain until they come to a tree but before he can reach it he disappears.

PART 5/14

Next mission he is a young child and meets JLY. She is worried that she will be in a loveless marriage because her mother arranged it for her and she is to meet her future husband today. JZX shows up and makes their first meeting go really smooth from the shadows. As JZX is leaving -the mission a success- WWX feels himself disappearing again he steps out to say goodbye to JYL, JZX turns around and sees his love with another boy smiling and becomes envious and bitter.

PART 6/14

One time he seems to be intangible and can only move small objects or whisper something into people’s ears, but he knows that he isn’t a ghost. He also never seems to be able to hear the names of the couple he has to get together. The woman seems to be a rogue cultivator and the man a servant of a prominent sect. 

PART 7/14

Another time he is a small child and turns up in a field full of white flowers with only one house there. This time he has to get a married couple together and they already have children???! Something is in the wrong order here… The woman is all alone in the small hut and so he keeps her company. He also plays pranks on the other people that live nearby so he has something funny to tell her, like the one time he shaved the beard of a really grumpy man off.

PART 8/14

But he has a real problem finding the destined partner of the woman. He also meets kid LWJ who seems to drill holes into him when he sees him with his mother. Together with his mother, they tease him endlessly until his ears turn all red. When WWX asks her about his husband he gets the whole story and WWX is like ‘Only one thing that helps now. I get him here and you slap him and scold him really hard.’ In the end, he finds QHJ in seclusion and gets him to the hut by throwing stones at him.

PART 9/14

While listening in from outside he doesn’t understand much but it seems like there was a really bad man and the woman had to kill him but because QHJ really respected the man she did not tell him about what he did because she didn’t want him to feel hurt over his bad deeds. It still takes them a few weeks in which the guy always seems to sneak into the house?

PART 10/14

LWJ also seems to tolerate him now and one time the mother said ‘LWJ you really have to take him as your wife, mother really likes him and wants him as a son!’ LWJ ’Hm.’ The woman seemed to get weaker but the romance sprouted and so his mission was a success.WWX goes on more missions and often meets LWJ during them.

PART 11/14

WWX goes on more missions and often meets LWJ during them. He meets a bunch of people that fell in love during, happy or hard time, as people that hated each other in the beginning or people that were separated due to circumstances that were outside of there control. WWX feels like he is about to have an important realization. And so one day he appears in the CR again.

PART 12/14

The moon is shining and LWJ sits in his room with a horrible burn wound on his chest and an empty jar of emperors smile beside him while he sits before his guqin. He plays his song and WWX only mission seems to be to answer to him. And suddenly he knows that he loves this man that he met during a hundred different times, which LWJ probably doesn’t even remember. 

PART 13/14

But he tells all his feelings to LWJ even though he doesn’t know who he is and seems to be too drunk to even understand what he is saying. But he still asks him to hold onto him tightly the next time they meet and not to let him go. He only hears a faint ‘Wei Ying?’ as he starts to disappear again and the system congratulates him because he finished enough missions.

PART 14/14

Funnily enough, it seems like his own love mission would have given him enough points to clear the system at any time. After getting his will to be reborn and live his life back (to meet LWJ) he gets rewarded with a second chance! He opens his eyes in the body of MXY and forgot everything about the system except for the strong feeling of a promise in his heart. 

OKAY ANON DEAREST YOU SAY HEADCANON BUT THIS IS BASICALLY A FULL-LENGTH FIC THAT JUST NEEDS TO BE WRITTEN AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS. THESE CAPS IS ME GUSHING AT THIS HC~~~

[kusunokihimea]

Have you ever wondered what Ryuu would be like or what her story would be like if Jiraiya wasn’t her father?

[ Anon ]

     That’s a wonderful question, nonny! Buckle up, we’re going on an adventure!

     So in the first draft of Ryū’s story, something I based of formative RPs with a few friends long before Tumblr (a verse known as A Light Amongst Shadows), I hadn’t actually made that connection yet! So in her “OG” story, he actually wasn’t her father! At least, not in the first draft, and I didn’t make any major changes to HER between drafts.

     Upon editing it sometime into writing it, I thought it would make a neat connection. Ryū’s mother Reika also had sage training (in another branch of course, based on healing). She would travel as a healer across many lands, and try to preach a little peace because her village wasn’t a shinobi one (as all Suigin women have done since their clan’s founding by the dragon sage Suigin). Instead, they were healers who always cleaned up AFTER shinobi. Hence their clan’s distaste of violence. 

     Who does that vaguely sound like? Jiraiya! Which...wasn’t my intention to begin with: I just...really love medic characters ahaha. Hence making an entire clan, location, etc JUST for a clan of healers to write! And I also love dragons, so...hence making some nomadic, dragon-based healers! Reika’s parallels to Jiraiya were purely coincidental. He wasn’t actually a character I thought much about until coming here to RP.

     ANYWHO, it became a little mini headcanon of mine that they ran into each other on the road, traveled together for a while due to similar goals / teachings, got a little closer, and WHOOPs, Rieka became pregnant! Before...fleeing because she was scared and a bit jilted at Jiraiya’s flirty nature to other women. And even then, it was never bluntly SAID in the fic, it was going to be hinted at, JUST ONCE, and never extrapolated on. Ryū never actually LEARNED that Jiraiya was her father. It was up to the reader to sniff that fact out. So in reality, it really DIDN’T impact her at all. It was just a fun fact (and helped justify her height - she’s a good bit taller than most females in Naruto, and that helped explain it haha). So in all honesty, Ryū’s story before coming to Tumblr really didn’t see any impact on her or her personality in regards to who her father was. She was never to be made aware. So at that point, you could argue that her father’s identity really DOESN’T, by default, affect her.

     Nowww, a while into being here on Tumblr, we met the ever-lovely @frogprinceus. I was so psyched to have a Jiraiya to write with, especially one so well-written! But I was super shy about bringing up the HC, because I know not everyone takes kindly to fandom OCs being connected / related to canon characters. But Mitsuki is a TOTAL sweetheart, and immediately plotted with me once I got the gall to mention it xD

     So, now to your ACTUAL question: the differences. This...varies a bit, but I’ll try to keep it short (yeah right - I always ramble ahaha).

     The default verse I have with Mitsuki for Ryū is when Jiraiya actually DOES find her when she’s young and newly brought to Konoha, and finds out he’s her dad WAY before it was ever meant to happen in ALAS. So, Ryū gets put into an actual family, her BLOOD family, and grows up with him (and a wee Naruto). There’s some...slight changes to her here, but not a whole lot? She’s a little bolder from a younger age due to not being as mistreated and alone. Maybe a little sassier. But she’s still the same patient, kind, and motherly medic we all know and love!

     Another verse is based more on the ALAS timeline, with Ryū only meeting and learning about Jiraiya after he comes back to Konoha to help find Tsunade. In ALAS, she meets him then, and he just muses about how she looks a lot like her mother, Reika. And that’s as far as it goes in that verse. BUT, with Mitsuki, her Jiraiya actually digs further, steals a few Ryū hairs, and finds out for sure that they’re related. Which leads to father-daughter bonding, just...way later, when she’s like 18+ (depending on the exactly time frame). In this case, the changes are even smaller to her character due to her not growing up with him, and being an adult at that time. But of course she has a big boost in happiness for finally know who her father is, and knowing she’s not alone!

     Now, in talk purely about genetics...nothing would really change either way. Yes Jiraiya has white hair, but Ryū’s appearance is actually due to her kekkei genkai and chakra, which turns all of a Suigin’s hair white (and yes I mean ALL hair haha), and their eyes a white-grey: because their chakra (which is very potent) is white! I guess maybe she might be shorter, but...if it were just a John Doe as her dad, I could still have him be tall and thus keep her height. That part isn’t too important lol

     ANYWAY, now that this post is...ridiculously long, I hope that answers your question dear nonny! While a few small things about Ryū change one way or the other as far as Jiraiya is concerned, she largely remains the same. While there’s arguments to be had about nature vs nurture, I believe that Ryū’s core personality and behavior are largely set due to both just who she is, and key points of her overall story (shared between main verses).

[messrsmemoirs]

@lostinthespeedforce  So click for higher quality, or else maybe I can upload it again? Anyway, this is a messy, not-so-chronologically-accurate-or-dead-set basic family tree I went and made up to put down some headcanons and elaborate elsewhere when you sent in this ask, because I had some loose ideas before but I figured it was a good an excuse as any to put something together.

Please take this with a massive grain of salt, because I have conflicting headcanons and timelines as you’ll see below. I’ll elaborate as I go.

So, diving in:

It’s meant to be read from the bottom up, naturally, with Teddy being the most recent but don’t take it literally because the dates are there to clarify and... it was really hard to make it not sort of sloppy. So that’s why I included dates.

So I’ll start with Lyall, since he’s got the shortest tree. I WAS going to extend this back for a few hundred years, but... I couldn’t muster the energy honestly. However, I did keep with the wolf/werewolf lore. Stubbe is the surname of a very famous German werewolf from the 16th century? 17th? And for me, I imagine Lyall comes from a family that’s been established in southern-to-mid England, and even Scotland, for a good hundred years, but that they hail from Germany and France (two places dripping with werewolves if you’re a student of real-world lore), and then also Italy, Norway, and Poland (which I would have gone back to, but it would be super exhausting to go back so far, so hc must suffice).

Starting directly with Lyall, it’s a pet hc developed by @draco-non-dormit and myself that Lyall has/had (depending) a brother, whom I imagine is older, named Lysander (wolf name). Lysander marries a witch and has a young son who I decided to name Charlie, and so Remus would have a cousin named Charlie. However, Lysander dies in a work-related accident when Remus is young, when Charlie was ten and Remus was two. Lysander’s wife took Charlie to live with her family after the tragic death of her husband, and sort of fell out of contact with the family. So Remus and Charlie never hung out and hardly knew of each other, really.

(On Charlie: it says “wizard,” but I’m on the fence. I really put a lot of thought into Charlie being a squib, something which further alienates him from the family. And if he were to eventually become a squib, he would be much closer to Remus’ age though still about 5 years older.)

(This distance business with the cousins is deliberate, by the way. For Remus to have grown up such a lonely child, I imagine his immediate family must be either small or distant.)

Lowell is their father, pending a name change. I haven’t decided yet, but it’s hard since Lowell is also the name a town near where I live, but it keeps with the wolf tradition. This tradition is something that was important to the family, though each member had their feelings on it. And I think that this tradition has to do with some ancient history in the Lupin line, be it that they were slayers of wolves, slayers of werewolves, or that the name was ironically given to them because they didn’t share the common idea at the time in ancient Europe that wolves were minions of the devil and tried to help wolves, etc. There’s some lost meaning to the wolf aspect of the family name, I think, and whether it’s honor or irony is up for interpretation. But for Lowell Lupin, it was a tradition in the family. His wife is Marie Stubbe, a witch who has werewolves deep in her family line (though never directly, because evidently Teddy is the “first” to be born directly as a child of a werewolf, so for Marie it would be like her great grandfather’s brother, who never had kids, was a werewolf, etc, etc.).

Moving onto Hope’s family, I think she had a bold little sister named Katherine, who everyone called Kitty. Kitty marries a fine, average man named Ben Cox and settles down to have two kids, Matt and David, who DO spend time with Remus but who are also a lot younger than he is. However, Kitty is the only one that knows the truth of Lyall and Remus’ odd abilities, and while Lyall continues to visit Kitty and have lunch after Hope has died, he tends to do it when Ben and the kids are gone. And Remus is fighting a war when the oldest son is still in secondary school, so there’s an unfortunate distance there, though the family does and will continue to get together for weird little functions--especially Christmas, which is an interesting time because I imagine Ben is probably Irish, and Hope and Kitty were raised very, very Welsh. Between the Irish, Welsh, and English traditions, Christmas is always an interesting time.

Kitty and Hope were raised by their mother Gwen, a southern Welsh woman with strong opinions and a sister named Jennifer who died at 14. Their father Andrew died, but Hope loved him and his father, John, who she never met because was a war hero during WW1 but had a great deal of respect and admiration for (hence “Remus John”).

As far as Remus and his grandparents go, as far as this chart goes I seem to have it down that they’re dead. But that’s because I was focused on the chart and the people, and not the big picture. I do in fact have familial headcanons for Remus and BOTH sets of grandparents, who I hc were around until Remus was maybe 8-10, but not longer. I feel like he lost his grandparents young, like I did.

Here’s a post of some headcanons about his grandparents to add onto this messy little family tree!

Jaal HC Discussions Pt. 3

So, when did Jaal fall for Ryder?

I would love to hear your thoughts!

I do not believe it was love at first sight. I think Ryder had to definitely prove themselves to Jaal. Prove at least, that they were kind-hearted, helpful, trustworthy, loyal, a good friend, etc... 

Also! This is assuming that Ryder flirts with Jaal.

Let’s go through the timeline here; Ryder arrives at Aya, Jaal wishes to join but keeps everyone at arms distance, promises to open up more about himself, then sends a letter of affection. Something happened between the last two.

Now let’s also remember, the only aliens Jaal has ever seen was the kett, and he heard about the exiles.

Jaal tries to keep everyone at a distance for a short time, (I believe he was more of a kill-switch if things went south) but he speaks his mind. Jaal doesn’t flirt with Peebee and Cora, he is simply expressing a compliment. Remember, angara are very open, a compliment might not be seen as a flirt. (I’ll leave this discussion for another time). Anyways- Ryder has the option of Voeld or Havarl. Choose to save the scientists or go after the kett base, the same response happens. Jaal says he will try to be more open. Now, he is curious. He wants to talk more, not just with Ryder, but everyone. To solidify friendships and make a closer bond with people, more familial. But, one step at a time. This is also when he will walk into Liam’s room naked for the diplomacy. Now, the romances for both male and female Ryder, to me felt like they had the same level of love and affection/admiration from Jaal, but just more personalized. More real between the two. (For instance, since male Ryder is a bit taller, Jaal doesn’t really pick him up and swing him around, instead, offers extra hugs and kisses. Which is really sweet but- off track here.) Ryder starts to prove themselves as attractive to Jaal with their personality. Ryder helped the scientists/destroyed the kett base, and if they went even further, fixed the angara’s main planets. Helping as many people along the way. When walking through Voeld, before or after saving the Moshae, there’s always an angara or few that expresses rudeness to Ryder, which Jaal will promptly tell the angara to respect Ryder. Even before any major flirts.

So, he respects Ryder. Ryder helps out everywhere, everyone. Ryder also seems to be acting maybe a bit different around Jaal than most. He might be starting to think, is Ryder flirting with me? He might be getting excited at the thought. This person, so mysterious, kind-hearted, helpful, is flirting with him. This is where I believe he becomes interested. He starts to smile when they talk, he wants to know more about Ryder. He is intrigued and slightly attracted, maybe. But, he is still on a mission. He lets his feelings ride for a while to see if they are true.

So, here comes the Moshae. No matter the outcome, if Ryder was wanting to be close to Jaal/flirting, Jaal will send the message. Though, if Ryder doesn’t save the angara, Jaal won’t talk to them face to face for a while. Even in his anger and confusion, he still sends the message. He still feels attracted to Ryder. If Ryder does save the angara, they can talk to Jaal straight after and ask about his personal life. Jaal will talk about his first love. This is where Ryder can blatantly flirt. Jaal replies that he is interested, that he finds Ryder attractive and that it would be an honor. He still wants to learn more about Ryder. (Note: this conversation does happen if you don’t save the angara but it will be much later).

So, now it’s out in the open. Ryder and Jaal are interested in each other. But Jaal wants to learn more. And with each fact he learns, he starts to slip deeper and deeper into his feelings. This is where he falls in love with Ryder.

During his loyalty mission, if Ryder trusts Jaal, Jaal will comfort Ryder with a close touch, forehead, hands holding the other’s head. If Ryder doesn’t trust Jaal, Jaal basically gives up on Ryder. This says, loyalty and trust is excruciatingly important to the angara. Later after Ryder dies and comes back to life on the flagship, Jaal realizes that he needs to act now. He almost just lost Ryder. He needs to be open. So, he does. This is when he realizes just how far he’s fallen for Ryder.

At the house, Jaal expresses his feelings. He is also nervous and quite afraid, what if he read Ryder wrong? His heart seems to beat for Ryder in some cases. If Ryder says yes, he laughs in relief and says, “yes.” to which he then tells Ryder that he adores them. And then kisses them. Now, if you watch the heartbreaking scene of turning Jaal down, it literally looks like you not only kicked a puppy but tortured the hell out of it. This reaction is just as important, because it shows just how much Jaal has fallen for Ryder at this time. But he respects the hell out of Ryder and cares so much, he swallows his tears and tries to make the situation less awkward.

Conclusion? Jaal realized he fell for Ryder at the flagship. He didn’t start falling until the personal conversation.

Thoughts?

All Verses & AUs;*

I have these very organized. The first portion are all FMA based. Any verse that has to do with specific muses will have them tagged, however just because a character is tagged doesn’t mean you can’t rp that verse. The only ones that won’t be rped with other people are the ship based ones. So never hesitate to ask more about each verse or send starters for them. Also all headcanons for the verses will be tagged as “(verse name) hc”

Sweet Love; This is Rory and Leanna’s ( @littlemisssweetcakes ) primary verse. Rory and Lea are in a lovingly complicated relationship.

Another You; This verse is what started it all for Rory’s existence and probably will be my main verse. Jean Havoc disappears and becomes the homunculus Greed. Rory blames herself that he resorted to feeling like he needed to sacrifice himself to help her achieve her goals to be Fuhrer. She’s a lot more emotional in this verse with the constant struggles of not wanting to admit her feelings for Havoc despite him being a homunculus.

Three’s Company; Rory, Lea ( @littlemisssweetcakes ), and Jean (N/A) end up in a polyamorous relationship. This is basically a combination of Another You and Sweet Love. There are a few time frames that can be played out:

One (Name TBD): This verse takes place after Havoc’s disappearance. Rory is still struggling over the disappearance of Havoc, but has made the decision to be in a committed relationship with Leanna.

Two (Broken Fragments): Rory and Lea are broken up. To Be Updated!

Two point five (Name TBD): Havoc returns as a homunculus. At first; it’s complicated and definitely not the most stable thing to exist. Rory tries to do everything in her power to make Havoc (Greed) return back to human.

Three (Name TBD): With the help of Lea; Rory makes Havoc becomes human again. While still on the complicated side, they’ve all managed to make the relationship a lot more stable with minimal jealousy issues occurring.

Mommie Dearest; This mainly is for the use of an AU crimsonandcarbon had came up with but shared with me. It’s primarily for Maes Hughes where his role and Gracia’s are reversed. It can work with canon as well. Basically any case that someone is dead leaving Elicia without a parent and Rory takes the second parent role is how this is to be used.

College; Exactly as it sounds. Rory is in her first year of studying chemistry, fourth year being in college as a total. She has a fascination with fire, and enjoys writing poetry.

Reality Escape; This is an asylum au. Can be taken in a modern verse or in a 1940s-1950s settings. Depending on the time frame, things may be a little different for Rory. Either way Rory suffers from Pyromania and Borderline Personality Disorder. In a modern verse; Rory committed herself to seek the help she needs. In the 1940s-50s verse; Rory was tossed in by her aunt as a way to “get rid of her” for being such a “pest.”

Other Mother; This verse is a little more open than the sub-verses below it. After so many near death incidents on Ed’s part (following a canon timeline), Rory decides to take on an unofficial mother role to Ed and Al in hopes of him to be less likely to get killed.

Fullmetal Brat; Because there are so many different Edwards in this fandom, this is my specific verse for @fullmetalflea . Rory becomes an unofficial mother figure for Edward. His verse title for this is Mother Flame.

Sweet Alphonse; This is currently open to any Alphonse that is interested in interacting in this verse.

Little Liam; This verse is specific for @a-cluster-of-cute-ocs. Liam is the youngest Elric brother.

Modern; At the moment this is just Rory and Edward ( @chiisaikintsukuroi ), but is open to anyone who wants a modern verse. Rory is in the Air Force Reserves, working full time on base, and part time as a warehouse manager off base. I will say that the knowledge Rory has of Edward’s life does not leave that RP.

Fractured Figments; Mirror AU. I am putting this with the FMA verses, because that’s what this is. Rory is an “imaginary friend” of Roy’s. She’s often his voice of reason, as well as the cause of most of his turmoils.

Bittersweet; This verse is based on Rory’s feelings for Ed ( @thetinyalchemist ). Maybe one day she’ll admit her feelings. However, for the foreseeable future, that will not be happening.

The following verses are all based on other fandoms. These allow me to have Rory interact with other characters in other fandoms as well as come up with interesting verses that I never would have really considered before.

Wonderblood; Deadman Wonderland AU. Rory is known as the albatross (They briefly mention an albatross, but don’t elaborate further.) Her fighting style is capoeira, combining her deadman abilities into this. She can create needle-like points from any open wound on her body. She also can shoot them out at her opponents. She is missing an eye from losing a fight, as well as most of her hair.

Fire Song; s-CRY-ed AU. Rory is an alter user that works for HOLY. Her ability is similar to Ayase Terada’s where if she does a quick flicking motion with her hair, she can cause explosions either in the air or on a specific object that she is touching. Or she can let her hair sit there and cause a fire on objects around her. This ability is called Fire Song.

Gym Leader; Pokemon AU. Rory is an aspiring gym leader. Her pokemon are Ninetales, Delphox, Mightyena, Arcenine, Flareon and Umbreon. In case you missed the trend, they are all fire or dark and some form of canine. Rory has taken over an abandoned pokemon gym and is in the works of restoring it as well as getting the proper approval to become a gym leader.

Puppy Gone; Fruits Basket AU. This verse is based in high school with Shigure, Ayame and Hatori. This can be before or after Rory knows about the curse. I have it based that Rory dates Shigure during high school and is forced to live with the Sohma’s due to knowing of the curse. After college Rory is told to move far away to never return.

Dragon&Phoenix; This is a sub-verse for Puppy Gone. Rory returns back despite being told to never come back. She ends up getting close to Hatori ( @hatori-sohma ) and eventually dates him.

Shake It Off; Celebrity AU. I’m not creative. Rory is a singer (Using Taylor Swift songs because it suits her best). She has been dating Edward ( @thetinyalchemist ) on and off since high school (Rory is now 24, Ed is only a few years younger). Edward is in the military with no “famous” traits other than being known as Rory’s on/off boyfriend. Always assume Rory is on her “off” time with Ed unless previously discussed for them to be dating for the threads. Also Rory may cheat on Ed but that is also something discussed by everyone involved in the storyline/threads.

Forgotten Name; Sucker Punch AU. Just like in the Sucker Punch movie, Rory goes by a false name, Phoenix. She is a patient/worker in the asylum/business (depending which way it’s to be taken). Phoenix was given that name because of her fiery attitude and ability to continually be “reborn” from the negative things she witnesses on a daily basis.

Talentless Host; Ouran High School Host Club AU. Rory and Tamaki were childhood friends. When he moved away, Rory didn’t think too much of it. Until she moved to Japan to attend Ouran Academy. Learning that Tamaki had started a “Host Club,” Rory decided to take advantage of her unisex name to pass as a male to reconnect with her old friend.

Momma Litchfield; Orange is the New Black AU. Rory was 22 years old when she had gotten arrested for arson. Not long after being sentenced to Litchfield prison, Rory was given the title as “prison mom.” She tries to keep out of everyone’s affairs, unless someone is picking a fight with one of her children.

Ultimate Survival; Walking Dead AU. There are two versions of this; they both will be under the same tag however:

Version One: Alchemy is still usable in this verse. Homunculi and Chimeras are unaffected by this virus. Rory is most often traveling with Havoc, Hughes, Gracia, Elicia and Hawkeye. This can change depending on who the thread is being written with.

Version Two: Rory was in the military before the apocalypse. She has lived this long by relying on flares and her knowledge of various chemical reactions that have worked to her benefit. Rory has lived this long on her own, but isn’t against making temporary allies when the time calls for it.

Meme Au; Meme based AU. This is exactly as it sounds. An AU based from a meme. It has little to nothing to do with any of the other verses or AU’s listed above.

A Really Long HC/Fic On The Ending of MML: Near Character Death Up Ahead...

Orton Mahlson reveals his scheme to the public via hologram after using Melissa to bring Zack and Milo to him. The man refers to Melissa as his daughter which leaves the two shocked, especially Milo who always believed Chief Chase is her dad and not Orton. Melissa confesses that she's been keeping her working for her dad from her friends and apologizes only for Orton to mock in false pity Twisting her explanation with lies, saying that she is just as into the idea of taking over the universe as he is. Also adds that Melissa readily agreed to befriend Milo and stay with him so he and some allies can spy on how things work around him and then later, she would betray him by taking Milo to her dad; Much to Melissa's astonishment which is entirely untrue. Sure she agreed to the task of letting her dad spy on them but the friendship with Milo is all sincere. She tries to convince her friends otherwise but Milo is too stunned, hurt to think clearly. Zack loses it however and snaps at Melissa in defense of Milo only to be sent away to a cell by two pistachio centurion; Shooting Melissa a cold glare that hurt her deeply. She looks at Milo in guilt only to find that Milo found his feels and now felt the pain of the betrayal set by his oldest and only friend before Zack. "After all we've been through.. Did the ten years really mean nothing to you?" "Milo, please listen to me I-!" "No. I've had enough of you and your lies. I was never a friend to you wasn't I? Admit it already. You see me the same way just like everyone else. A jinx." "That's not true, Milo you know that-! " Milo says nothing and turns away, his back facing her, his wrists still bound with metal cuffs. Melissa stands in dazed silence as she cries softly in remorse. She slowly turns to Orton with anger and betrayal in her tear-filled eyes. The man barely changed his expression feeling nothing at the sight of what his own doing did to her. "We've had an agreement Melissa. With great power comes sacrifice. You cannot risk your life around that jinx any further. But best assured, life will get better once all's been done. We will rule the universe and everyone will bow down at our feet! They'll be so fearful they will never dare speak the name Mahlson in mockery ever again!" The girl just stands shaking in anguish as her father readies to start the invasion. But before that, Orton does something that scars Melissa for life; After forcefully dragging Milo to a nearby machine and pushing him in the glass cylindrical cell, he activates the machine that works to absorb Milo's condition and convert that into matter. Milo's pain-filled screams rang throughout the place. Zack was already shaking the bars of his cell in desperation to save his friend, cursing Melissa in anger. In another cell two cells apart from Zack's, the pistachio protectors and even Brick and Savanna could only stand watching their captors helplessly knowing that nothing can be done since they already failed in their most important task. That and all their weapons and objects are confiscated and chances of them busting out are zero. Melissa cries in terror and tries to break Milo free only for the cylinder to open and the weakened boy falls into her arms completely drained of his condition. Getting back to his feet, Milo did so for once without a trip or backfall. He felt completely normal. Nothing went wrong around him anymore. He falls to his knees and looks up at Melissa in confusion yet the betrayal is yet to fade completely. Orton stands holding up a smaller cylindrical container containing Milo's EHML. He puts it in another machine and using that, the real taking over begins.... _____________________ Swamp City is in grave chaos. People are running in all directions as blasts shot out from Orton's headquarters turning several to many of them into half-plant half-human soldiers automatically brainwashed to serve Orton. Pistachio centurions transformed from the pistachios stolen from the protectors after their arrest roamed the area forcing the untransformed folks to run to their refuge in fear. In the streets, Sara, Kris, Wally and Josh along with all the other Dr Zone fans have already ceased from their loyalty to the latter man and are engaging in war against the centurions and soldiers; Only for Sara to be turned into a soldier with the rest while the remaining are outnumbered and surrendered to the enemy. In Jefferson County Middle School, a plantinized Bradley can be seen wildly attacking the other middle schooled in his savage state after he's been changed upon exiting the school. Mort and Amanda were huddled in the safety of their school locker watching through the slits as their fellow kids and even the school staff tried to find cover only for some to be transformed into repulsive plantmen as well as blasts came in from the windows. In the skies, another blast only much bigger and more electrical, shot upwards causing the clouds to swirl and form various portals. It was a combination of Orton's time manipulation and Milo's EHML. Several objects from different time periods fell from the sky; Giant Trojan horses, pyramids, Greece statues, all things historical are coming to the present and by coming, literally crashing down destroying what's underneath. The army keeps getting bigger and people are surrending out of fear. The protective forces are outnumbered by far. Orton has the upper hand. The city is all his and soon will be the whole universe as planned... _______________________ Melissa couldn't take anymore of this. Her friends are turned to doubt her. The city is in danger. And all because of her. But the majority of the fault goes to her father.. The man she used to love and look up to. The man she worried and cried for when he couldn't come back. The man.. Who promised her the role of Queen of The Universe when the time arrives. The role she really wanted. But not anymore. She loves her best friends. She cares for Milo. She wants to keep them, go against her father after he cruelly lied to them about her. The man looked proudly at the chaos he's caused before him with a contented sigh. The sight made Melissa sick. How can he be so fascinated in seeing people in distress? With a deep breath and much to Milo's surprise, she boldy confronts Orton to stop, look at the damage he's causing, look at the damage he caused her. Tried to convince him to reconsider his choice. But the man isn't buying words of redemption, even from his own flesh and blood. "Why should I end this now? This is just the start of everything slowly changing to the way I need it to be! I spent ages tirelessly working for this to happen and nothing can stop me!" "Innocent people are dying out there dad! They could get killed!" "Well that is their problem! If they wish to not die then they'll have to comply to our rules! Simple as that! " "Under YOUR rules dad!" As the father and daughter started to bicker, Milo took the chance to get closer to the machine in attempt to destroy it. Using the utility knife he had kept in his pocket for emergencies, he slashed at the exploded wires and they started to spark. Orton realised what has happened and tried to interfere only to be blown back along with the two teenagers as the machine exploded; The containers containing Milo's energy and pistachios that acted as the power sources dropped out unharmed from the brief explosion. And since the machine was destroyed, so was the damage being done on the city. The portals are gone and objects of history are sucked back to their timelines. The centurions are shut down and the plant soldiers are turned back to normal humans as the source controlling them was also destroyed as part of the machine. Zack was the first to finally bust out of his cell and rushed to the scene to find the machine destroyed, Orton on his knees in a daze and Melissa returning the EHML matter to Milo's body using another piece of technology at his request. Being normal is okay but Milo felt more like himself as long as his condition is present. Using the moment of post-destruction and Milo and Zack being back in the sense of mind partially, Melissa explained her part of the story in which Milo admittedly supported out of recalling the good times they both had while he was facing away. He just couldn't believe Melissa would take advantage of him like that. And now that he already saw his former Idol's true colors and how he acts towards his daughter, all doubts are already dismissed. Zack in the other hand remains doubtful but was ready to forgive Melissa. Although they'll be just friends and only hang out within Milo's presence until the Underwood boy himself recovers his emotions fully; Melissa taking the reason understandingly knowing that she couldn't blame him. With that, the three shared a brief hug; Melissa's hug around the boys being more sincere in emotion. Unfortunately, the reconciliation was cut short when one of the metallic feelers from Orton's backpack wrung around Milo and flung him against the wall, the boy sliding down grimacing in pain from the impact. Zack tries to help him but another feeler pins him to the wall as the one that flung Milo retracted back to Orton. The man was not letting the Murphy kid defeat him so easily. He destroyed the machine and his prizes of dictation. He... Is going down. Orton's eyes flashed in pure vengeance and he held out his arm with the gift-shaped cast. The box splits open revealing a mechanical blaster and aiming at the Murphy boy stunning both Melissa and him for they had no idea that he actually had that. Just before Milo could get away from the weapon's aim, Orton's feeler pinned him to the wall in a similar fashion to Zack to keep him in place and target. The blaster lit up in a fiery light as Orton readied to shoot… "NO!!" A scream followed by the unmistakable noise of the blaster shot sounded and the feelers holding the boys hostage released and retracted back. Instead of satisfaction, Orton's expression could only show horror as the boys dropped to the floor. Upon recovering from the drop and regaining self composure, Milo took a glance upfront and gasped seeing Melissa lay still in front of him; A scorching smoke emitting from her badly burnt side.…
