A clarification on my future artwork:
I have a lot of dndads related wips but do not feel that great about finishing them. There have been too many issues I’ve taken up with the fandom AND the cast of dndads and as such I’m deciding to exist the fandom a bit compared to how deeply involved I’ve been for the past two years. I’ve also since ended my Patreon subscription as I cannot in good faith continue to monetarily support them.
I’ll be reusing my old concepts while inserting original characters separate from the pod. The only character I can see myself making any future art of is Sparrow, both for finishing everyone’s designs for her they gave me on twt and also yume/general art since I have a deep emotional attachment to her. Nicky may be there as well because of Lovesong and Mickrow (yumeship name for us three). This is all to say if you see any art from me that looks like maybe it used to be dndads? There’s a good chance of that. But I’ll be adjusting designs of the characters and labeling them OC as I don’t want to draw directly of the show anymore. Some concepts might be unsalvageable to make not dndads but I’m going to try.
I have a lot of designs for the show and I cherish them all but I can’t see myself posting personal-made art of those characters in the future. I don’t want to support this show anymore in the way I have until now.
For anyone who was still interested in the sticker sheets of my 5th anni stained glass art, I can no longer see myself going through with the production of those. I’ve been waiting since then to have a moment where I could find the time and money to invest into selling those, but unfortunately I no longer see myself doing so.
As for Lovesong Week, I’m unsure if I will actually host it. The prompts have been set, but I don’t see myself hosting a specific week for it on tumblr. I may just post it as a whenever you want prompts list and leave it like that. The ship is still precious to me but I am still iffy on continuing to interact with the fandom at all outside of my friends.
I’m glad to have become something of a well known artist in this community as I’ve had others state to me, but I can no longer be a part of such an unsafe environment for my friends and myself. I think that’s everything!

Hello my friend; For my first request, I wanted to see if you could do a headcanon with the Attack on Titan with a black s/o or my Oc Leah but with a cosmic universal spiritual power(she’s younger than Eren and she's 5'2) and She has the power of the Zodiac Sign Taurus (Since her birthday is April 23rd and she is younger than Eren by a few months) which is known as earth, give life and death with the power of Emotion Empowerment and Spiritual Gateways/Tears(she can open portals to different places) with glowing stars/ balls of light (which can channel their emotions into powers) and a variety of magical powers such as Flight, Telekinesis, Force fields, Teleporting, and Telepathy, Creation of Shooting Star Showers, Levitation, Gravity Manipulation, Hologram-Like Projections.❤️😊❤️😊
Attack on Titan ~Characters with a black reader with cosmic goddess powers~
Manga/anime: Attack on Titan
Warnings: spoilers of all the manga
I wrote as if the reader was your OC, I hope you don't mind!
Eren probably has an interest in you, after all, you both have supernatural powers. He really likes your manners, especially your thoughtfulness towards those you care about. He has a crush on you and, the more the years pass, the more he will love you. When he's stuck in Marley, he'll always be thinking of you, praying that you're okay; when he's locked up in the Survey Corps prison and you come to talk to him, he'll treat you with indifference, but in his mind he'll apologize to you a thousand times. He'll always think of you, even when Mikasa kills him.
Armin loves your intelligence and your thirst for knowledge. You two talk a lot, especially about your powers and the outside world. What struck him most was your taking care of your loved ones. Every time you take care of him, he blushes a lot and stammers all the time. He probably has a little crush on you, but I think your relationship will become more that of a brother-sister as the years go by.
Since Eren likes you, Mikasa will be like your big sister and, after everyone discovers your powers, she will be your "bodyguard". Does anyone make fun of you about your height or age or your powers? She will look at him with her murderous gaze. You two take care of Armin and Eren together, and you two support and console each other.
Jean is your great friend, even if sometimes he flirts and jokes with you just to make Eren mad. However, he never actually does it seriously. Sometimes you two think about how to get him and Mikasa together, although many times they don't work out. He thinks of you as a little sister, and he'll always try to defend you.
Sasha adores you. When you two are together, you only talk about food; sometimes you compete to see who can eat the greatest number of dishes (these contests often end in a draw and with your superiors angry). She understands you, because she too is sometimes labeled as different because she eats a lot. You, Sasha and Connie are the joke trio in the entire Survey Corps.
Like Sasha, Connie adores you. You two do a lot of stupid things together! Like Sasha, he also understands you: due to some of your attitudes you're often described as stupid, like him, and he won't think twice about defending you from those who have offended you. When Sasha dies, you'll console each other.
Ymir admires you for your strength, but she doesn't like you: since Historia likes you and you has a very lovable nature, she fears you might take her away from her. However, when she understands you and Eren love each other, she'll behave better towards you. When she's about to die, she will entrust Historia to you.
You are Historia's royal advisor and lady-in-waiting, although you also fight in the Survey Corps. She always liked you (not in the romantic sense), but she's adored you even more since you consoled her for Ymir's death. She even calls you Star Princess because of your powers! When she has her baby, she will make you her godmother.
Annie doesn't like your manners. The only thing she appreciates you for is that you never forced her to fight you when you were paired up for close combat matches when you were training. However, when you Eldians ally with Marley's warriors and Magath against Eren, she will appreciate you also for your determination to kill the one you love, and, before boarding the ship, she will ask you to protect Armin.
At first Reiner was only interested in your powers. However, as time goes by he's more and more conflicted: he's become very fond of you, but he knows he must also kidnap you to take you to Marley to study your powers; when the Survey Corps saves you, he'll be both relieved and dejected. When you Eldians ally with the Marleyans against Eren, he'll beg you to forgive him for everything he has done.
Like Reiner, at first Bertholdt was only interested in your powers and he appreciates you too the more time passes. He feels very comfortable talking to you and, in the end, he'll no longer want to kidnap you, but he'll be forced to do so. In fact, when you are their prisoner, he'll take you aside and apologize to you. When he's about to die, he'll beg you to save him.
For your nature you remind Levi Furlan and for your way of acting you remind him of Isabel. He is very overprotective, respectful, affectionate and loving, although he demonstrates these in his own way, for example staying close to you during expeditions. He treats you and will always treat you like his little sister. If you call him "nii-san" (big brother), he might be moved because he'll think of Isabel.
Hange is like your crazy uncle/aunt. Although, actually, when they learned about your powers, they thought you were a titan and wanted to analyze you. They try to help you with your heart murmur, attempting to come up with something that can relieve the pain, and in exchange you help them with his titan experiments. When they die, they will regret they couldn't help you with your problem.
Erwin really likes your mind and how you think, so he's very protective of you, almost like a father. He wanted to make you Commander of the Survey Corps, but when he told you, you refused in favor of Armin. However, you'll always be one of the main points of his plans: for example, he was the one who advised you to become Historia's advisor, in order to act as an intermediary between her and the Corps.
When people see you and Onyankopon, they think you're father and daughter. In fact, they don't even think badly, because he really treats you like a daughter. The first thing that struck him was your skin: he was very surprised you also had dark skin like him; if someone tries to offend you because of this, they'll have to face their wrath. When you kill Eren, he'll ask you to live with him as his daughter.
The first time you and Yelena met, she wasn't surprised about your powers: Eren told her about you, reiterating the fact that no one should have ever hurt you. She talks to you a lot and tells you about Marley, thus becoming almost like a mother or an aunt to you. When you're in Odiha, you'll console her about the failure of Zeke's plan and she will beg you to stop Eren. When you kill Eren, she'll ask you to live with her too.
Niccolò loves your love for his food and he's very surprised that you eat so much without gaining weight or feeling sick. He really enjoys cooking all of Marley's dishes for you and loves it when you teach him the Island ones. When Sasha dies, he'll come to you for comfort. After Eren's death, he'll continue to cook for you.
At first Gabi hated you: for her you were just one of the Devils of Paradis. However, now she adores you since you saved her and Falco from Niccolò's fury and she will try to console you after Eren treats you badly. After Eren dies, she will introduce you to her family and will come to visit you periodically with them.
Unlike Gabi, Falco immediately appreciated you. The first time you met was at the Blouse house: you had gone to visit Sasha's parents and you recognized him and Gabi, but you didn't unmask them. In fact, you asked them how they were and what they were doing there. He almost sees you as his big sister and calls you "nee-san" (big sister). After you kill Eren, he'll come to visit you very often.
Porko doesn't like you, because you're his enemy and because you and the other Eldian soldiers attacked his house. He doesn't know how to react when, after infiltrating Paradis' army, you realize he's a warrior but you don't say anything: he's a mixture of surprise, recognition and anger. He also won't know how to react when you try to save him just before Falco devours him.
From the first time she saw you, Pieck knew you were a special person, but not because of your powers: more because you made Reiner's will waver. Anyway, she didn't like you at first, since you were an enemy. You fought twice, and she admits that you were stronger than her. When you team up together, she will be kind to you, and after you kill Eren, you'll be great friend.
Zeke learnt about you and about your powers from Reiner and Bertholdt. In your first meeting, he was both amazed and softened by your and Eren's relationship, emotions heightened when Eren told him he would abandon the euthanasia plan if anyone hurt you. You'll talk to each other in the Paths for the last time and you and Armin will convince him to let Levi kill him to stop Eren.

Annie’s been avoiding the dueling circuit for a while. Her battle with depression has been uphill and difficult at the best of times, and more than once she’s fallen back on bad habits.
In the last year and a half she’s jumped from therapist to therapist, failing to find one that clicks with her just right until the last two months. In that time, and with a new alteration to her medication, she’s finally started to show improvement. 
She’s started going out more, she’s started reaching out to old friends and engaging in old hobbies. She’s managed to get a part-time job to take up some of her excessive free time. She’s starting to eat... better, she’s starting to lessen her addiction to some of those bad habits, replacing them with better, more productive or healing ones.
The thought of dueling still causes her extreme anxiety and distress and she cannot bring herself to touch her duel disk or deck, and keeps them locked away in a box in her closet, but slowly she is starting to improve.
She still has bad days, she still has insomnia she can’t seem to get over(something she and her therapist are trying multiple things to solve), and she still has next to no appetite that she’s struggling through but she is getting better and she is proud of that.

" Holding their partner’s unconscious/dead body" For Andie because I'm that type of angsty person xD-jennifer-reneeoc
Lol Oh wow, yes I see what kind of angsty person you are! I feel like there is one very obvious way to take this so how about I just... subvert expectations.
It was as if all the sound present in the world had cut out, like someone had hit the mute button, and Eddie was forced to watch, helplessly, as Annie fell to the ground, body lifeless as a ragdoll. He ran, but even as he did, he knew he wouldn’t get there in time. 
He was yelling, he realized vaguely, calling out her name as he ran, falling to his knees next to her. She was very still and, heart rising into his throat, Eddie reached out, pulling her towards him gently. 
“Annie,” He breathed, watching as her head rolled back. He felt the panic rising up, like bile from his stomach, felt his throat threatening to close up, making breathing difficult. Fuck, was Annie breathing? 
“Annie?”
Bev had come to crouch beside him, her own eyes wide with fear and worry. She reached out, as if to brush her fingers across Annie’s face but Eddie shifted slightly, keeping her from doing it. He didn’t want anyone else to touch her, not now, not when she looked so small and fragile. Someone else might hurt her, break her. 
“Eddie,” Beverly looked up at him with round eyes, just as the others came up around her, looking equally worried. “Is she… “
No, he thought. She couldn’t be. Not Annie so bright and full of life. Not Annie,  not Annie, not Annie. 
But he was not so sure. He had never seen her look so helpless, not Annie. Even when she was scared she still burned bright, too bright. Maybe he should have expected for her to finally burn out. 
“We have to move,” Richie said, putting a hand on Eddie’s shoulder, trying to pull him away, trying to guide him to his feet. They were sitting ducks here, they were in danger here. But that didn’t matter, none of it mattered. This all felt meaningless to Eddie if the cost was Annie’s life. 
With shaking hands, Eddie reached up slowly, pressing it against Annie’s neck, feeling for a pulse and dreading what he might not find there. 
And yet… yes! There it was fluttering as gently as butterfly wings. 
“Thank God,” he breathed a sigh of relief, pushing her hair back away from her face. “Annie sweetheart, you need to wake up. Okay? We need you to wake up. It’s not safe here Annie Bell.” 
“She’s alive?” Bill asked, sounding surprised. 
As if to confirm that she was, Annie shifted slightly in Eddie’s arm, whimpering softly in pain as her eyes fluttered open, blue eyes locking with Eddie’s brown ones. 
“Eddie?” She croaked, trying to shift and wincing slightly. “That fucking hurt.”
She tried to move, but he was not so keen to let her go, not just yet, not when he felt like they had just dodged a bullet. 
“We thought we lost you,” Bev said. 
“Scared the hell out of me,” Eddie added. 
“Sorry to disappoint,” Annie told him, reaching up to press a hand to his cheek, the action gentle and tender. “But you’re not getting rid of me that easily.”

How about mikasa with a Pregnant s/o? I hope you get better btw!
Ah thank you anon! I hope I do aswell! And I love mother kasa concept! :D
『Mikasa with a pregnant s/o』
➽───────────────❥
Tumblr media
➽───────────────❥
[ MAJOR! AOT SPOILERS UP AHEAD! ]
THIS CONTIANS MAJOR SPOILERS REGARDING TO 139 AND CHAPTER 138
- after you guys left the survey corps,she practically BEGGED you both to be parents. And all thought you wanted to, you wanted to spend some years alone with her.
- Ever since Eren passed away, your girlfriend never smiled the way she used to. But that all changed when you told her you were pregnant with a baby girl. This woman bursted into tears smiling a smile you hadn’t seen in a while. She picked you up and spun you around the room kissing you as you to began to cry tears of joy.
- You told her you were pregnant with a small version of her scarf, hinting at it. And as soon as she got it, she looked at you shocked, making sure you were serious, “d-darling are you serious..?” She said a small smile on her face. She looked at the small scarf and the baby clothes that laid in the box that you gave her as a gift, twirling around the outfit examining it.
-you gave her a soft nodd as you wiped away a tear, “Your going to be a mommy” you said with a smile. She put down the baby clothes and looked at you, still in shock. “Your not joking R-right!?” She said a bit more happier. “No I’m serious!” You said, beaming with a smile.
-she scoffed a bit as tears began falling down her face. Mikasa smiled as she picked you up, twirling you around, while crying tears of pure happily ness and joy. “T-this is all I’ve ever wanted” She said, kissing you while wiping away the both of yours tears.
- Throughout your whole pregnancy, all she would do would show you support in every way possible. She may be a bit over baring at time but this woman just wants to insure that your safe and well token care of. If you try to even pick up something, she’s scolding you, saying its dangerous and what if you fall or trip? All you’ll hear is, “y/n! Be careful dear! Let me take care of that.”
-Oh you best believe she gives you baths. One wrong move and you could get hurt, to her at least. Mommas wants to take care of youuuu ૮₍˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶₎ა! Plus, if you think she’s overprotective then, SHEESH BUDDY YOUR IN FOR A RIDE DURING AND AFTER PREGNANCY.
- This woman goes out her way to make sure you and the baby are safe. She doesn’t like you going out into town since a ton of people would crowd there and god for bid if someone knocks into you.. Let’s just say they are gonna get beat to the ground.
- For names, i think she’d like something unique, mystical even. I think she’d like something like a word that means a unique feeling, like the word Heriath; Homesickness for a home you can’t return to, or that never was. That’s my OC’S kid with her’s name anyways lol. Lacuna, Moira, jouska and others i think she’d like! You suggested if it was a boy that you wouldn’t mind naming the baby after Eren. She turned to you and smiled saying that she loved the idea of that, but, she couldn’t call him that without bursting into tears. You understood completely and was accepting of that aswell : D
— AND BOY OH BOY WHEN YOU WERE IN LABOR- Mikasa tried her best to stay calm. You both decided earlier on to have an at home birth with (just in case) a widwife to make sure you were okay. She held your hand and hugged you as you gasped for air, pushing as hard as you could. Mika would tell you things like “It’s okay baby.. your doing such a good job..” hike holding your hand, reassuring that you would be okay.
- When the baby came out, all you both could do was cry. I’d say if its a girl, she’d look more like mikasa with black hair and her Asian eye shape with your eye color. But if it was a boy, they’d look more like you with mikasa’s eye shape and mouth shape.
- She knows how sentimental of a moment you both as parents were experiencing, so she made sure you as the one who gave birth should hold the baby first. She kissed your head as you held the baby, caressing your hair.
- when mikasa held the baby, the first thing she did was wrap the baby in her red scarf. After Eren died, she turned the meaning of the scarf around. Eren showed her how to live, so she made a promise to show you how to live. And now that she has a baby, another piece of family, she vowed over her life to keep the both of you safe and sound.
- Her first words to your both’s baby was “I will always protect you, I promise you, over my life” She was so happy to be a mother. After all the chaos, she was so happy to finally live peacefully with the person who she loves the most.
- She has SO MANY DAMN RULES FOR WHEN ANNIE AND ARMIN COME OVER LMAO- No holding the baby standing up. All sharp objects aren’t allowed on you when touching the baby. No turning into a titan or she’ll cut off your face (these mainly apply to Annie LMAO) But after a while she chilled down. Annie was allowed to hold the baby ofc ofc.... Under MIKASA’S supervision ÙnÚ.
— the day your baby first walked, mikasa Litteraly cried at how big they had gotten and you had to calm her down like “Mika! Chill they aren’t even 1 yet and your already acting like they are going off to join the military!”
- Oh and speaking of military, your baby’s not going into the military- Hell n o. Momma mika would lose her shit even at the thought of her baby going out into gunfire. So if you wanted a military baby, sorry its not happening with her kid.
- The baby’s first words were “Muma” which was when they were referring to you. Everything this child does makes her so emotional. Litteraly even if the baby just picks up a spoon she’s almost in tears. She a proud momma dont let her down >:3
- I think our both’s baby would call her a unique version of mom. Like they would call Mika “Ummie” or “ummuma” But sometimes they’d just call her “mommy” so your momma and she’s ummie and mommy. (Lmao you call mikasa mommy too dont lie ;)
-OMI- YOUR KID AND ANNIE AND ARMINS KID ARE LIKE BEST FRIENDS. Your baby loves when they come over so they can see armin and Annie’s kid :D! AND OML- YOUR BABY LIKE LOVES ANNIE- She calls her “auntie awnnie” and always likes pulling at her bun while mikasa just stands and watches from the kitchen, eyeing annie down making sure she ant gonna touch her bby 😤
- Your child LOVESSSS Annie’s titan roar and everytime she comes over, they beg for annie to turn into a titan and do the roar. All you’ll hear is, “awuntiie awmmie! Titan! Titan!! 🥺” While annie rolls her eye with a small “fine” As she goes outside and transforms into her titan, roaring while your chid giggles. MIKASA HATES IT SO DAMN MUCH- SHE’LL ALWAYS SAY “You better be careful or I’ll kill you”
- of course, over the years Mikasa lightened up to annie and they are now best friends, but she cant help it... Over protective strong momma. but she wont allow armin to do it since his titans to big and dangerous ad trust me armin completely understands.
- Overall, she’s such a good momma. Always caring for you and her baby, making sure you both are safe and okay. She wouldn’t ever wish for a different life when she’s with you, and the sweet little one you two made <3
BRO THIS WAS SO LONG TO WRITE -

->TWST Overblot! Hana AU
{This is an AU, so not it is not an original timeline. Hana is my TWST OC, while Chiaki belongs to my bestie, Yami, @pastel-rights} (P.S.= I really should stop tagging them somehow but djjdjdjdjej-)
Trope Description:
Technically how would things happen if my Heartslabyul, therapist-judge OC actually lost her sanity and overblotted- which will actually never happened in the original timeline lol,,,
Headcanons:
Ok, i know it's rare for Hana to show her dark emotions,,, Yes, she does show panic and concern for everyone, but not to herself
Her overblot will based on the King of Hearts, the Queen of Heart's husband. The character is pretty submissive (?) Since he loves his wife sincerely despite that the queen actually cares for herself,,,,
In this AU, Hana is sometimes afraid,,,, fraid that she'll be used by someone she's fond of at the end.
Her oveblot definitely happened either after Riddle's overblot or after all the seven overblots...
Hana may have a strong composure, but not strong enough to control the darkness inside her; In her childhood, she seemed to suffer under some physical curse of black magic. Which she couldn't control it before due to not knowing how to control her emotions.
Hana is blinded by sadness and hatred, but also thinks that justice needs to be served after a betrayal. The cause of her overblot would either be having an argument with the French uncle or her middle biological sister hating her for not being with her at her difficult times
In the classic lore, she loves her sister dearly and often gets naggy and bossy with her for her safety... Which the sister doesn't understand that and keeps getting into unnecessary trouble,,, such as running away without telling the clan where she goes-
Hana's problems never come from outside the clan afterall. She's most influenced by who she grows up with and who she knows since the start of her previous life as a human.
Story:
Hana was trying to have space for herself after being severely stressed than usual- Hana never had space for herself. Which made her slowly become emotionally and mentally unstable as she tried to show a calm composure... And letting her dark magic loose its restraints to her dismay. She accidentally sent the dark magic attack towards Cater's heart, as he was trying to get closer to her to comfort her-
The dark magic made him slowly turn pale and have him spill ink from his mouth...
===
There was a later day when Hana had a phone call with her sister, Hana was trying to stop her from departing until the sister cursed at her...
'Annie now hates me...' she thinks.
Hana drops her phone.
And dark flowers with thorns started growing around her-
'After all this years of fighting for your safety, letting you have a normal life with video games and having fun friends who are not afraid to approach you since the beginning, is this what you will say... After all the pain I've gone through and sacrificing my childhood with a bloody sword... Just for you and Emoti(other biological sister) to live happier..? ' 'You are such an ungrateful immortal... '
===
The sad thing Is that the only people who carry in the fight against overblot Hana Is the six clan members who serve for her, her sister figures.
Who did she spared during her overblot? No of them but Kitty... (reason? Yeah, there's a lore about Kitty and Hana. Hana always got bullied and physically abused in the clan. The other sisters that were not Kitty weren't there yet. Well they are loving to Hana but not as closer as Kitty is to Hana... Kitty's support and company as the little sister is the reason why Hana doesn't suicide many times as an immortal despite always coming back to life-)
===
There may be also a scene where she would keep Riddle hostage- And even tried to do the same with Azul...
RIDDLE AND AZUL TECHNICALLY EXPERIENCED SIMILAR CHILHOOD ISSUES AS HER SO IN ORDER TO KEEP THEM SAFE FROM WHAT HARMS THEM IS TO ISOLATE THEM-
Riddle was captured first, his guard was caught off guard as he was already wrapped around overblot Hana's giant flower vines... Azul was about to fall on Hana's arms, until everyone appeared to rescue. Azul was kind of under the effect of Hana's dark roses. More like some kind of hypnotization but without looking in the eye but influencing through smell.
Hana wants to protect Riddle and Azul by isolating them from everyone, that's what her overblot self thought...
=== Oveblot Hana was about to makes thorns penetrate Crowley's heart until she was stopped by Kitty for a little bit, and realizes that Cater is still approaching her slowly (more like he is limping-) She faced at his figure and made the dark air disappear to see clearly. She silently looked at him until she nearly jumped at Cater falling to the ink stained ground- That's when some spark woke up within her...
Hana quickly approaches Cater's nearly dead body...
Hana: ...?
Cater looked at Hana with weakening eyes.
Hana: ...!
Out of instinct, Hana placed Cater's bleeding head on her lap. She didn't say anything, no matter how many words she wanted to say. But her inky tears could tell what she's feeling at that moment-
Cater: hey...
Hana trembling: ...?
Cater: I cannot ask for another better sister besides you... you made me secure for myself... And you understand me just like Chiaki does...
Cater: I... I love you....
Cater weakly smiling: …And thank you, Hana...
Hana: ....
Hana:.....!
Hana: C-Cater...!
Hana: …. No....
Hana holding Cater's cold hand: No... Please.... Don't leave.... Don't go...
Black tears drop on Cater's lifeless face... The crowd started watching from the background. Slowly, tears became to turn into a pure transparent color .. giving a spark to Cater's head. Which healed Cater as seconds passed by.
===
There's also the black and white cutscene,,, Where Hana explains her past and stuff, how she got neglected and bullied while being raised by her most of her strict guardians in her clan. Who only saw more as a pawn to use rather than a delicate child to take care of and cherish for...
Hana's overblot phase looks messed up, but this is what happens for enduring the pain for many years since previous life- ===
Hana couldn't look at anyone after that-
She only approached her sisters, who were the ones who immediately came to hug her after coming back to normal,,, It will take a while to recover. Not that she no longer likes everyone, more like she's now afraid of what people will think of her... Her past had something to do with people seeing her as a monster. Hana didn't admit that what inner part of her can be a monster, she blamed her all instead. Hana can't just do her normal routine with a lot of troubling thoughts inside her without struggle,,, she'll have to get homeschooled or do remote as Fleur ordered... Fleur is aware of Hana's issue and still not aware of other overblots- He deeply apologized to the whole school, even mentioned to keep Hana for homeschooling.(for the majority's hope, Cater was able to persuade him for Hana to stay-) Riddle is still having thoughts for sure- but he still has the job to make her feel safe at NRC. So he eventually talked to her and even tried to comfort her.
At first, he sends it in front of her bedroom door, but slowly gets to enter inside and give her the food over the days- Which recovers trust from Hana in a slow pace ===
About 2 months later, that's when Hana gets out of her room,,,, They must be pretty shock to see Hana in a much better state- But Hana is now more closed than how she was since her first day at NRC- Time to recover the social bonds … Hana quietly but clearly apologized once again, as she silently prepared herself some tea,,,
Hana can't even look at her first year boys the same way- They must be angry at her,,,,
That’s right up until Deuce and Ace hug tackle her aidjsjdjaka...(Ace picks up Hana like a cat-)
=== Chiaki was also one of the first to approach Hana... She brought Hana a bento(It’s a card themed bento as a thoughtful idea of representing Hana as a beloved student from the Heartslabyul dorm (although anything diamond related was conveniently left out-)) while Jade was at work- Chiaki's mafia fish bf can’t stop her if he doesn’t know what she’s doing-
Chiaki the gave Hana a big hug- she missed her bestie...
Hana: ... Hana: ....! Hana: .... *Slowly tremble * Hana: *sniffs*... Chiaki-chan...
Chiaki: I just wanted you to know I missed you Hana,,, I’m glad you're okay.
Hana: starts sobbing quietly... Hana: I'm sorry... I'm sorry... ಥ╭╮ಥ Hana: I messed up... I completely messed up... Hana: *coughs* Chiaki: It’s okay Hana, let it out,,,
Hana slowly wrapped her arms around Chiaki and laid her head on her shoulder silently...
===
Hana also stopped giving bentos to Azul for a while after getting out of her room, afraid of having misunderstanding that she poisoned the food or something - knowing that she had to recover Azul's trust once again,,, Cath was a little bothered by that(technically an Azul x Hana shipper oh no-) and pushed Azul to talk to Hana and push Hana to talk to him.
It was awkward at first. Since leech twins were skeptical at the idea at first, but then Hana started to comfort Azul a little and fixing misunderstandings after Azul spilled his insecurities towards her...
Taking things slow and peacefully. Cath and leech twins had to also stalk them just in case- Who knows if Azul starts yelling at Hana or Hana going to her limit-
===
Hana was just looking down whenever she was aware of Cater- It was hard hard to forgive herself after nearly killing her brother figure you know,,, That was a very crappy move- Hana stayed polite around him, Trey, and Riddle though, as Cater saw Hana slowly interacting with other people,,, you know, and avoiding him. Hana didn’t mean it in a bad way, but felt so guilty to even start approaching him...
Riddle holding Hana’s hand and Ace giving her words of encouragement,,, Deuce and Trey taking over Hana’s duties, so there’s no excuses,,, Hana will have to somehow talk to Cater.
===
One day, Ace walked Hana to Cater’s room, comforting her the whole way. He gave Cater and Hana the space they deserved but he was still lurking around in case something happened.
Ace: Riddle’s orders, but I trust you wholeheartedly :D
Cater was lying in bed, Hana could barely see him underneath the blankets. It was a mountain of blankets and sticking out of the top was a messy fluff of ginger hair. Cater was half asleep from pain killers and medication,,, he did almost die afyer all-
Hana called out for Cater gently,,, trying the urge not to nudge him awake like she used to sometimes. She would be shy but she'll literally be gentle and careful with her words for Cater,,, as a good start- Cater merely glanced at Hana over his shoulder. He was there but he was not,,, completely there. Nonetheless, he gave her a sleepy head pat- Hana nearly flinched,,, but she accepted anyway. She slowly sat on the edge of Cater's bed. Cater sat up so there was more room on the bed-
We can hear the awkward silence right now...
Hana somehow started a short conversation first... Something lighter first. She nearly hesitated when asking if Cater is doing alright at the moment. Cater was subconsciously leaning on Hana, lowly cuddling her... Which made Hana grow a little more comfortable step by step.
Is just Hana keep talking about topics softly,,, As long as he doesn't hate Hana or something like that,,, then Hana will find that as a pretty good sign.
Hana then explained to him how she felt and about her thoughts on what happened after the Overblot, while Cater kept listening intently.
once Hana started to get sad, Cater hugged her gently... Probably mumbled “nooo… don’t be sad…”
Hana just curled up like a turtle while being in Cater's arms,,,
Ace went to check on them and finds Cater’s passed out holding Hana close to him,,, He had to get Riddle in there so they could lay Cater down and help Hana if she needed it.
===
The next day, everyone rented out the Mostró Lounge to have a party, trying and getting Hana to socialize more-
Hana got pretty overwhelmed with socializing and seeing many people in one room, but she'll have to in order to catch up with the others.
Chiaki: heyyy Azul I had an idea-
Azul: Oh..?
Chiaki: okay what if, hear me out, you let me rent out the lounge, hear me out hear me out, so we can have a party? For Hana? To socialize with people more??? With food- and sweets- and-
Azul fixing his glasses: don't say no more- you just read my mind,,-(which he didn't try to use the plan tho-)
Chiaki spends a lot of time just planning with Azul- It’s gotta be perfect.
it was only supposed to be a simple party
But Chiaki and Azul started talking and now it’s a full out party-
Chiaki: … Chiaki: (´・ω・`) it was supposed to be much simpler but Azul and I got carried away oh noo- Hana:... W-Wow...
Chiaki: (˵•ヘ•˵) it’s probably super overwhelming- this wasn’t my intention,,,
Hana: N-No..! Is alright...! I'm just not used to receiving... Hana: Thank you... I mean it... ! ówò
A wild, but now recovered Cater sneaked up on them with a sneak attack hug!!! >:)
Hana flinched, getting surprised at the sudden action- Chiaki probably screamed but quietly,,,,
Cater was amused by their reactions hehe-
He gave them a big hug, probably picking them both off the floor which he definitely. Should not be doing but- Cater >:)

Painter’s Hands and Guatemalan Coffee: Part 2
insomniac
Pairing/setting: Levi Ackerman x Female!Reader, modern!college!AU
Summary: When you catch your idiot boyfriend cheating, your grumpy roommate is there to pick up the pieces and watch your back as you toe a carefully drawn line in the metaphorical sand.  
Word Count: 2.5k
Warnings: insomnia, nightmares, (remembering) death, panic attack, cuddling, fluff
AN: Here she is!! I’ve decided to give oc a little ~tragic backstory~ and I really hope it comes across like I’ve intended. I wouldn’t go so far as to call in angst, necessarily, but there’ll definitely be some in the future. Also, I know I’ve painted Annie and Reiner in a really bad light so far in this particular fic, but please know that’s not how I view them in canon at all - it’s simply because someone had to be the bad guy:( Anyways, I hope y’all enjoy and as always don’t hesitate to reach out via reblog/ask with any suggestions/feedback/questions!! ~valkyrie
(read Part 1.5 here)
Bodies jostle against you in the darkness to the beat of music you can’t hear.  The buzzing gets louder, drowning out even your own screams for them to stop.
Stop. Stop. STOPSTOPSTOPSTOPSTOPSTOP!
“STOP IT!” You can hear yourself this time, your voice embarrassingly loud in the cramped room. You slap hands over your mouth but everyone’s already turned to look at you, disgusted at the display of emotion. Even they peel their faces apart to sneer down their noses.
“Why should we?” Annie’s voice rings with superiority, swirling around the space and nestling in the crook of your neck. You shudder away, but the faceless bodies shove you back.
“Don’t you know this is your fault, anyway? You weren’t enough for me.” Reiner jeers with a satisfied smirk. The whole room laughs, cackling and giggling spitefully. You can’t move, muscles frozen, as they turn back to each other and continue making out. His hand in her hair, her thigh hooked over his hip, obscenely wet noises from their joined mouths.
You scream and scream and scream, jaw wide and aching, and all of a sudden the scene shifts and you’re at your mother’s bedside. Your breath hitches and you’re screaming in a child’s voice this time.
“Mommy, Mommy, no, please, no, MOMMY, PLEASE--”
Your hand twitches towards her and its movement against soft sheets brings you back to consciousness.
You’re spread-eagled in bed, comforter kicked almost completely off, chest heaving.
“One. Two. Three. Four…” you count in a hoarse whisper to yourself, staring out the window at gently falling snow illuminated in yellow streetlights. It takes you to one hundred and twenty-seven before you’re calm enough to do anything productive. 
You reach out a blind hand to find your phone on the nightstand and raise it up to check the time. 4:47 am. Nearly three hours of sleep.
Eh, good enough for jazz.
You heave a sigh, then push up to sit on the edge of your bed and flick on the lamp. The sudden bright light makes you squint against sharp pain behind your eyes and turn away in search of a sweatshirt. Some sifting through the ever-growing pile of laundry later, you settle on a green university hoodie and pull it on over your ratty tank top. Your toes and fingers always feel like icicles after waking up from a nightmare, so you find faux fur-lined slippers as well.
As you push past your bedroom door and into the living room, a figure in the comfy armchair catches the corner of your eye.
You nearly jump out of your skin before recognizing who it is. “Christ on a cracker, Levi! Nearly scared me half to death.”
“Sorry.” He doesn’t sound sorry as he marks the page in his book and sets it on the coffee table.
“What are you doing up?”
“I could ask you the same.”
“Well that’s not ominous or anything,” you mutter with an eye roll as you cross to the kitchen and set the kettle to boil for coffee.
Levi sighs and pinches the bridge of his elegant nose.
“Sorry. That’s not what I meant. It’s just… I noticed you haven’t been sleeping much lately and I’m worried.” He crosses to sit at the kitchen table and speaks to your back as you shuffle around the kitchen.
“What do you mean? Of course I’ve been sleeping. Whaddaya think I was just doing?”
“It’s five am, and you were still up when I went to sleep at twelve. Optimistically, that’s four hours of sleep. And yesterday you went to bed after one, but Hange said you were texting her at five-thirty, and--”
“Jeez, what, have you been stalking me or something?” you ask with an incredulous glance over your shoulder.
“We live together. It’s kind of hard not to notice.” Levi’s tone is the usual dry you’ve come to expect, but there’s an undercurrent that you’re too exhausted to pinpoint. “And Hange also told me she’s been worried.”
“What is this, an intervention? Just because I break up with someone I’m suddenly incapable of functioning?” Your voice (and headache) rises with each phrase, cracking on the morning dryness in the air, and you spin to face him.
“I didn’t say that, I--”
“Am I just supposed to wallow in misery for the rest of my life? No. I’m not doing that, Levi, I’m moving on. I-- I’m a busy woman, I’ve got finals and, and internship applications, and I happen to enjoy waking up early. I like watching the sunrise.” Though your words are rushed and you’re gesturing animatedly, uncertainty seeps through the stuttered phrases in your argument.
Levi lets you finish, then returns in a measured voice: “Why are you so defensive about this? I know you’re busy. So am I. But I manage to get more than four hours of sleep at night. I just want to help.”
His statement hangs in the air like dust mites, swirling around you and clinging to the sticky after-effects of the nightmare in your mind. You frown and drop your eyes to the linoleum, guilt settling into the stickiness.
“I know. I’m sorry.” Your voice is much softer. “I just--” A deep sigh. “I can’t sleep.”
“Why?”
The simple question makes your breath stutter and you scrub a hand down your face in an effort to ground your skin into reality.
“It’s so stupid.” It’s practically a whisper. “I have these nightmares. About my mom. I got them when I was younger, too, but eventually they just sort of… stopped. But now they’re back. And I can’t ever get back to sleep after, so I just stopped bothering to try.”
“You know, sometimes I get nightmares, too.”
The admission catches you off guard, your eyes widening. Levi always seems so… steady and sure, you wouldn’t have expected it.
“Really?”
He nods. “About my mom and the foster homes.”
“Oh, I didn’t know you…” Your heart sinks, and you don’t know how to say you’re sorry for the heartbreak he must’ve lived through with any semblance of tact.
“Yeah. It’s not something I talk about much.”
“Right.” You pause and chew on your tongue thoughtfully for a moment. “Do you have...strategies for when you can’t sleep because of them?”
“I have sleeping pills from my psychiatrist and some meditation practices that work for me. I can send you some resources, if you’d like.”
“Yeah, I’d really appreciate that if it’s not a bother.” You feel kind of sheepish now, for raising your voice, and so try to sound extra thankful for his help.
“It’s not.” He stands up and stretches both arms over his head, tipping his face up to the sky, lean body arching and twisting with the effort of it.  “I’ll send them to you later today. I’m gonna go back to bed.”
“Okay. Thank you, Levi.”
He nods and yawns, nose scrunching adorably. “Night, kid.”
“Good night.”
As his bedroom door clicks shut, you sigh yet again and turn off the stove. The first thing to avoid is probably coffee.
--
Your fingers flick off last rivulets of water as you step out of the shower. A shiver rattles its way up your spine before you can grab a towel to dry off. Bless Levi, he had done laundry today and the towel is still dryer-warm, smelling of his favorite fabric softener.
As you go through your evening routine (tooth brushing, face washing, hair drying), you can feel a quiet tension set into your shoulders despite the humidity of the bathroom.
The day had gone okay. You managed to resist coffee until 8 am and cut yourself off at 3. A lecture and a studio in the morning left the afternoon for library studying and a trip to the grocery store. 
You had actually seen Bertholdt there, in the cereal aisle. You hadn’t been too keen on having that particular conversation, but luckily he hadn’t seemed to be either. The pair of you exchanged sympathetically awkward smiles before turning back to the Cheerios. 
The evening consisted of ordering chinese takeout while obsessing over your latest architecture design project, followed by convincing Hange over the phone not to sleep in the mouse lab for extra credit.
“But Bean will be lonely!” she insisted hysterically. “And Sonny wasn’t looking too hot in lab today, what if he needs his mommy and I’m not there?”
“You’re not their mommy,” you reminded her. “They have each other to keep them company, and if Sonny dies, won’t it support your hypothesis anyway?”
She had eventually acquiesced when you promised to help her plan a memorial should they pass in the night.
So now here you are, skin slowly drying, as you psych yourself up in the mirror to go to sleep.
“It won’t be bad. Just use the meditations Levi sent you.” You try to inject confidence into your voice, but you only end up grimacing at yourself in the mirror. “Ah, fuck it.”
You tuck your towel in firmly around your chest and double check to see your things are put away before going back to your room.
As you pass, you hesitate by Levi’s door for a moment. His normal studying music, Chopin, is on and light creeps out from underneath. Another moment of uncertainty, then you gently knock and poke your head in.
“Levi?” He raises his head from where he’s hunched over an easel, paint brush in hand. Brow furrowed and body tensed like a strung bow, he doesn’t look happy to be interrupted.
Fuck.
“I, uhm, just wanted to say good night.”
He grunts and turns back to the painting.
You take that as your cue to leave.
Back in the sanctuary of your own room, you curse again and kick your desk chair, sending it rolling a couple inches.
Why had you bothered him? To say good night?
“Stupid, stupid, UGH.” Your dramatic outburst ends in flopping face-first into bed. Just because he felt concerned enough to stage a fucking intervention doesn’t mean he’s your fucking nanny. Idiot.
Eventually, you roll over and get up to change into pajamas. 
Settling into bed, you open your newly downloaded meditation app and start an audio.
“As you prepare for your meditation practice today, find a comfortable position sitting or lying down where you can fully relax….”
The cool female voice wraps your mind in a hazy blanket of fog and eventually coaxes your body into an achingly needed sleep.
--
This time the dream wakes you up whimpering into your pillow, arms flung above your head as though you’re skydiving. With a sucking breath, you lift your head to prevent imminent suffocation and instead settle on your side, staring unblinkingly into the darkness. Breath ragged in your chest, your mind can’t seem to move past the last image of your nightmare.
It’s burned into your retinas when you close your eyes and etched onto the moonlight-pale wall when they’re open: your mom’s pallid face staring up at the ceiling, hands resting on top of  her blue embroidered duvet cover, chest still.
A sob escapes your unwilling throat and you’re scrambling to sit up and reach for the lamp. The lamplight suddenly reminds you of your own existence in the physical plane, thrusting all your senses into sharp contrast.
Her greying, thinning hair, the frailty in her fingers, the cracks in her lips, the cloying scent of death.
“Nonononononononono,” you moan, hunched over your knees, fingers tangled in your hair. Your stomach is hollow, chest tight, tears now flowing in earnest. It hasn’t been this bad in a long time, not since 7th grade at least.
Do something, do something, you stupid bitch, your mind is yelling at you, and so you force your body to move. Somewhere, anywhere other than here.
You practically fall out of bed and then lean heavily on your desk to compensate for shaking knees as you move to the door. Feet shuffle in the darkness and all of a sudden you’re sniffling outside Levi’s door, fingers in a deathgrip on your shirt. One, two breaths and you knock three hesitant raps.
Fuck. Shit. Instant regret bubbles up in your throat and you pivot away. Before you can get far, the door opens and you hear Levi’s sleep-ragged voice utter your name like a question. Damn.
You turn back sheepishly.
“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t’ve woken you up. Go back to bed.” Your voice is unnaturally breathy as Levi tries to make you out in the dim light of the moon filtering in through the living room window. 
He reaches for your shoulder to gently pull you out of the shadows, and realization crosses his face as he registers the tear tracks and haunting terror in your eyes.
“It happened again,” he states.
You nod hesitantly and wipe at your cheeks with the back of one hand. You try again to tell him that no, really, you’re fine and he should go back to bed, but the words get lost in the tangle of truths between your brain and mouth.
Instead, what comes out is: “Can… can I sleep with you?” Your eyes finally flick to his before you quickly follow up. “It’s okay if you don’t want to, I just- it helps to have someone close….”
Levi watches you for a moment before sliding his hand from your shoulder to your hand and tugging gently.
“Come on.”
You follow him inside and fidget awkwardly at the side of his bed as he climbs in. His room is impeccably neat, not that you would expect anything different from the man who once gave you a five minute lecture about leaving dishes in the sink to soak. It was the most words you’d heard him string together at the time, and he only stopped when he realized you were laughing.
“You sound like my Great Aunt Cheryl,” you said between hiccups of mirth. “Insufferable woman.”
He had looked at you scathingly, then made you promise never to leave the dishes for later again on pain of changing the wifi password.
Once he’s settled, Levi turns back the covers on your side and looks at you expectantly. You falter a split second before climbing in next to him, the familiar smell of his laundry detergent clouding around you as you fall back into soft pillows. He throws the comforter over you, then settles down and opens his arms.
“C’mere, kid,” he says with a tenderness that makes a sniffle catch in the back of your throat.
You roll into his arms, resting your head in the curve of his shoulder and breathe the first easy breath since you woke up. An arm flung around his middle means your whole body is against his, warming you up like a midafternoon nap in August.
Levi settles his arm around your back after tucking in the blankets and holds you like you’ve always belonged there. He gradually, gradually feels you relax into him as your breathing begins to match his own.
After a while, your eyes droop closed and Levi allows himself the indulgence of tucking his nose into your hair. A bouquet of lavender shampoo and you accompanies him softly into his dreams.

ok ready to share all my idolverse ocs
jeon joonki (jung wooseok) - member of nova. he’s the oldest of the group but doesn’t really act like it. a true hype man, he tends to goof off and mess around with his fellow members. even so, he’s close with jihong and has a lot of respect for him, so he’ll always step up to support his leader during tense situations. a bit of a flirt, he likes to have fun but really a romantic at heart. ambitious and truly believes in himself and his group. he deserves love!!
koh soyoung (solar) - the leader of peach pop. soyoung used to be so passionate about music and had so much potential, but then her group disbanded and she’s been real bitter about it ever since. tried to go solo but wasn’t achieving the success of her former members so she kinda gave up. has been off the radar for a long time and just re-entered the entertainment industry as a mildly successful actress. she’s still bitter and openly critical of apex and their current groups, even though deep down she knows she should get over it. anyway she’s tragic and i love her
park namseon (kim yoohyeon) - main dancer and sub rapper of chrysalis. when she was little she wanted to be a ballerina, but she came from a rough home and was told she wasn’t the right fit. auditioned with her friends only because they begged her to, and she was the only one who passed. never really wanted to be a k-pop idol so she’s still struggling with the role. her stage name is odette after the main character in swan lake, a role she always wanted to perform. she’s super shy and nervous, even around her members. she only feels confident when she’s dancing. she’s adorable and available!!
yang anni (ningning) - sub vocal, sub rapper, and dancer for sour cherry - she can do it all! originally from san francisco she got scouted at an event for her performing arts school. begged her mom to let her move to seoul and she officially became a trainee at em music. very energetic and a quick learner, she lives for the spotlight but above all else considers herself the emotional support for her group. also dating jihong from nova but due to their rookie status they can’t be open about it, which is something she’s lowkey bitter about

For the character ask thingy: Annie from Community bc I endorse your interests - and/or (you decide!) Wilma from Die Wilden Hühner bc I endorse my own interests.
thank youuuuu <3 <3
Annie from Community
favorite thing about them: aaahhhhh i love her so much!! I love that she’s open about being an addict and that she’s standing up for herself - like losing touch with her family must have been hard for her, but she went to rehab, did the work, found a new family that loves and supports her and continues to thrive. love that for her <3
least favorite thing about them: uhhh every time she falls into the trap of wanting to date Jeff?? idk it’s not really ‘her fault’, it’s stupid heteronormativity and Jeff’s stupid face and charms and abs, but... idk any Annie/Jeff moments are just really hard to watch for me
favorite line: “aaawwww”
brOTP: Annie & Troy & Abed - that episode where she moves in with them?? When they put on that shadow play for her? That she finds comfort in them even though they are both so different from her? those three belong together and I have EMOTIONS about it
OTP: huh hard to say?? I definitely do think Annie is a lesbian, but any possible pairing from the show doesn’t quite do it for me. I could see Annie/Britta I guess, and I do enjoy thinking about Annie/that barkeeper Tig Notaro played in the episode of Troy’s birthday, but I really don’t think any of them are a match for her in the long run, so my OTP is probably Annie/OFC. I imagine that OC is a stone butch Annie works with at the FBI - she’s rather oldschool, wooing Annie and fulfilling all of her romantic fantasies, and Annie falls head over heels for her and gets introduced to the lesbian community by her and some other lesbians at work. that’s all I want okay??
nOTP: Annie/Jeff. tbh that age difference would’ve been way less awful if they hadn’t made that big deal out of it, proving that Annie being so young and “innocent” is a big part of the attraction. Anyway, they’re both awful for each other, bringing out the worst in each other, which is why they make so much sense together in the worst timeline - there, and only there.
random headcanon: since I discussed my headcanon of lesbian Annie in detail before, let’s circle back to Troy’s birthday and the fact that Annie spends all of it flirting with Tig Notaro. Like?? She literally abandons her friends all night to talk to this Texan butch in her own Texan accent, desperately trying to impress her for no apparent reason. So far, that’s canon - my headcanon is that that’s the first time Annie admitted to herself she likes women. Up until then, she just shoved those feelings deep, deep down, and just projected her romantic interests on the next best unavailable dude around. But that night? She’s drunk and she’s talking to this woman and she just can’t deny it any longer. Maybe she even says it out loud for the first time, maybe she tries to hide it as an off-hand comment when she plays this character Caroline Decker, because hey, Caroline is a wild card, she could be into anything - she could be into women. Maybe years later, she tells Abed about it and Abed understands how sometimes, it’s easier to express your true feelings and your sexuality when you’re playing a character. I have a lot of feelings and thoughts about this, as you can see, I could go on forever, but i’m gonna stop myself right there.
unpopular opinion. I guess it’s kind of unpopular that I don’t like Jeff/Annie? Depends on which part of the fandom you ask lol
song i associate with them: idk why but the first thing that popped into my head was “There She Goes” by Sixpence None The Richer
favorite picture of them: 
Tumblr media
i’m just uh...... looking respectfully you know 👀👀👀
Wilma from Die Wilden Hühner
favorite thing about them: aaahhhhh my baby!!!! I love how she has so much anger, but just as much compassion!! she’s really tough but just as vulnerable, you know? she has LAYERS 
least favorite thing about them: hard to say?? I think I don’t like that she feels like she can’t trust the other girls with the fact that she’s a lesbian. but that’s also not on her, again it’s stupid heteronormativity (and she’s not even wrong. most of the other girls don’t react well when they find out. ugh she deserves better)
favorite line: I don’t have the book with me but the whole scene where she talks about not liking boys??? transformative childhood moment right there!!! Like “Ich krieg nunmal kein Herzklopfen bei Leonardo DiCaprio.”  and then one of the others goes “Es gibt doch so viele verschiedene Jungs.” and she just replies “Aber die sind alle Jungs.” ICONIC
brOTP: might seem weird, but listen! Wilma & Leonie. I know they’re girlfriends in the books but I’m getting somewhere with this don’t worry! It’s just that I think they could be great friends, talking about girls together, but I don’t see them as endgame. Like, they’re close, they might be dating for a while, but eventually, they just go back to being friends, and they pursue different love interests.
Oh, also!! Wilma & Steve!! Theatre bros!! 
OTP: again, might seem weird if you just look at canon and not my headcanons, but!! Wilma/Melanie. I won’t excuse Melanie’s actions in Die Wilden Hühner und die Liebe because that shit is vile and horrible, but listen!! I do think Melanie as a character is often treated unfairly by the narrative, so many times portrayed as a girly girl who cares too much about boys and make-up (as compared to the other girls, especially Sprotte, who are shown as down to earth, not afraid to get dirty, and therefore, somehow better). If you look at Melanie as someone who’s forced to act feminine because of outside expectations, her narrative could easily be that of a closeted lesbian or bi girl (i prefer the latter) in a homophobic setting, who just repeats everything she has heard about gayness because she thinks it’ll protect her and distance her from it. I’m really beginning to ramble here but you proably expected that when you sent me that ask, right? xD
nOTP: I think I once saw a fic that was tagged “Wilma/Steve” and I noped the fuck away from it because???? how dare they??? It was a fic set in their adult lives and I don’t remember anything else about it because I obviously didn’t read it but. jeez this fandom needs better fanfic.
random headcanon: I think Wilma grows up to teach kids about theatre and acting. Maybe she works at a theatre or a school as a drama teacher, maybe she does drama summer camps or something. I bet she’d be an amazing teacher and a great influence for those kids, and I can imagine it’s something that’s gonna make her really happy.
unpopular opinion. Huh not sure? Maybe the Wilma/Melli thing might be unpopular but there’s not really that much of a fandom around to have popular or unpopular opinions. sigh...
song i associate with them: definitely something angry and loud from a 90′s rock-pop girl band? Maybe “Just A Girl” by No Doubt, because it slaps and I’ve listened to it a lot these past few weeks
favorite picture of them: actually it’s the one that I made with that picrew last year, that looked a lot like Cornelia Funke’s art style but I can’t find it anymore :((( so I made another one
Tumblr media
it’s from this picrew: https://picrew.me/image_maker/117958

So besides Isa who else do you play as again in other campaigns?
I am so glad you asked~ So besides Isa Perkins, I've also gotten around to playing Shanti Yamul in @selemina‘s First Casters campaign. We���ve already gone over her so I won’t ramble about her much (unless of course you have questions). I’m just glad to be playing her again, since she was the first D&D character I've ever made and played as~ Next, there’s Meadow. Another fave of mine~ She’s my character for @girugin‘s Endless Winter campaign, and so far she has just been a real joy to play. She’s a foul-mouthed, troublemaker goblin rogue, who’s mostly good at stealing and stabbing, but who also cares deeply about people that she gets to know.. even if her gremlin energy tells you otherwise. She can get emotional and difficult at times, but she can also be surprisingly intelligent, with a harsh, gloomy, and realistic outlook on life. She herself doesn’t think that this winter will end... but there’s another part of her that really hopes it will, someday. For now though, she’s content with just joining the party in the hunt for supplies and allies, and making sure the small community she now calls home keeps running. Next up is Lidewei Malvolia, my character for girugin’s evil campaign: Dragon Mafia. As you might’ve guessed.. she’s not really a good person. She’s a cunning, manipulative cult leader, and the very definition of the word ‘dragon lady’. Working for her lord Duvud, she mostly tricks and convinces people to join her in supporting her lord’s uprising, while also working together with the rest of the party (aka, lord Duvud’s ‘hoard’) to bring him back into a position of power. As a cleric, she mostly serves as the party’s healer, and hopes to solve any issues with as little violence as possible.. but that doesn’t mean she won’t easily kill someone when necessary. Even though she’s blind, which helps in making her look defenseless and an easy prey for many, she is still a force to be reckoned with, and I would advice you to not get on her bad side. There’s also Joe Mcgrady, an NPC for Dragon Mafia who stays by Lidewei’s side and often functions as ‘her eyes’. He originally came from a farm, but left that place to follow and protect the pretty elven woman.. he’s simple-minded, but at least he thinks he’s doing the right thing. Since he’s not a PC I won’t go into much detail, but he’s still my character, so please tell me if you’re interested in learning more~! Sadly I can’t say that I'm a PC in @techpirate1‘s Fallout campaign... but I do play an NPC that shows up every so often! That would be Annie Brown, the small, adorable girlfriend of girugin’s Deathclaw PC, Achii. She started of as a bit of a self-insert for rp’s, but soon turned into a canon oc for Achii and the others to play off of. Annie herself doesn’t do much except stay safe in his house and offer moral support, but she still brings this lively, positive energy whenever she does go somewhere with the gang. She herself is fine staying out of fights and danger.. but she still tends to worry about her boyfriend, no matter how big, tough, and handsome he is. I’ve started to recently play a ranger called Trace in a one-shot my friend @hands-of-fate-ocs made, which might get a continuation soon so I can play Trace more~! They’re, well, a very quiet, very awkward half-elf, having spent most days on their own, and away from civilization. Though they sometimes visit towns, or their mom, to stock up on needed supplies, they’re the happiest when just exploring wild, abandoned areas and looking for anything mythical: especially something regarding fey. Basically, anything that piques their interest is something they’ll devote their sweet time to. But still, after a long while, loneliness did get to them.. which was exactly when they got asked to join a PSI squad. Imagine that! Wanting to overcome their social issues and do something else for a change, they accepted, and are now currently on a mission with their team. They still don’t really seek out companionship and are happy just keeping to themselves, but there’s already a few others in their team that they find.. interesting, at least. Maybe they’ll finally make some friends~ There’s a few more characters that I've mostly just played in one-shots, but are still very loved and are counted as official characters to bring back. Like Fien Intema, my dutch triton bard and local handywoman. She’s confident, flirty, and a bit rough around the edges, but has a good heart. She’ll absolutely speak her mind when bullshit is happening, and might cause trouble here and there, but she’s also careful and kind to others when she needs to be, wanting to avoid conflict rather than start it. Another beloved character of mine is Edgar Mcgrady, whom I played in a one-shot a long while ago, and definitely want to play again in a full campaign. Like Fien, he’s a bard. (I just like to play bards, okay..!) But unlike her, he’s just kind of this charming, simple country bumpkin that escaped from his family’s farm, and is now happily exploring any town or city he can reach. He likes to play his banjo for himself and others, and enjoys getting a drink in a pub or inn. He also likes to her himself as friendly and honest, but there’s a few things he would still like to keep a secret too.. There’s currently a few more characters in the making, and there’s others I have that I haven’t even played, but I think this is all when it comes to campaigns I've played / are playing now. Again, thanks for being interested! I’m glad I can share all this stuff with others now too! <3 Also, y’all please follow my wonderful D&D friends I mentioned here! Along with @ember-menia, @quynh-tessance, @entransta, and @ask-manda-of-the-6

for the oc profile thingy: mel ofc!! my looove!! 💖
My baby! I was hoping someone would send one in for her!
Tumblr media
Full Name: Melanie Cassandra Crowe
Gender and Sexuality: Female, Biseuxal (though to be really specific she’s biromantic demisexual)
Pronouns: She/Her
Ethnicity/Species: Canadian-American, Siren
Birthplace and Birthdate: Montreal, QC, Canada, October 18th 1994
Guilty Pleasures: Taking dumb Buzzfeed quizzes, watching trashy reality shows, and making extravagant blanket forts
Phobias: Thunderstorms, hospitals, graveyards/cemeteries, scarecrows
What They Would Be Famous For: Singing or mimicry. She could easily be the world’s greatest singer or the world’s best impressionist
What They Would Get Arrested For: Probably assault
OC You Ship Them With: @avengiers Robyn Argent and @musiciatee Annie Emery
OC Most Likely To Murder Them: Of mine? Wynn Tate, no question. They would not get along at all. Wynn would find Melanie too annoying and Melanie would find Wynn too uptight.
Favorite Movie/Book Genre: Horror/gore. She has a very deep (and somewhat disturbing) fascination with the macabre and scary stories
Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: Miscommunication as a plot device.
Talents and/or Powers: For talents, she’s a great singer, lacrosse player, swimmer, can play any string instrument, MMA fighting, and can read body language really well.As for powers, she has a fair amount due to her siren abilities: singing, vocal mimicry (voices and sounds), enhanced eyesight, enhanced agility, enhanced strength, enhanced balance, flight, sonic whistles and shrieks, can control the wind, can see the past, present, and future, can feel others’ emotions, can sedate others through touch, can control others through touch, can see through others’ eyes if there is a strong enough emotional link, etc.
Why Someone Might Love Them: Melanie’s the most supportive, caring, passionate person one could ever meet. If something is important to others, even if Melanie doesn’t understand it, it’ll be important to her. She’s understanding, a great listener, and a gentle soul. Her fiery determination and ambition is contagious and can put a boost in anyone’s beliefs. Her carefree and fun-loving attitude is enough to distract others from their plights. And she pulls all the stops to let those important to her know just how important they are.
Why Someone Might Hate Them: She can be overzealous to the point of annoyance, she can be manipulative, bossy, overprotective, ditzy, and stubborn. Her worst habit is downplaying others’ fears, worries, or concerns in a way that she views that she’s being helpful when she’s not. If someone doesn’t like to be babied or inadvertently told what to do, talked down to, or believed to be weaker than they are, she may not be the one for you. She has good intentions, they just don’t always come out the right way.
How They Change: Melanie starts out as a somewhat childish, naive, ditzy, and vastly energetic girl with an obsession with the supernatural and mythology who doesn’t take the danger of living in Beacon Hills seriously. It’s all fun to her until her friends get pulled into the crazy world and hers and their safety are constantly at risk. Confidence shaken, she doesn’t know how to handle the constant danger being thrown at her. But then she takes her place in the McCall pack, leaning on her expertise with myths and supernatural creatures to help aid her friends and packmates through threats; her rose-colored view of the world had been ripped away with the deaths of friends and allies but she still holds onto her ideals and hopes whilst boosting others confidence in themselves and their abilities as well as her own.
Why You Love Them: Easily the most complex character I’ve ever written to the point that she feels like a real person to me. Man, I just love the contradiction of a person who has dark motifs and inner spirit surrounding her but still strives to see the good in the world and actively tries to live those ideals with a sunny personality. She appears to be a energetic, ditzy ball of sunshine but she’s so much more than that. I could (and want to) talk about her all day every day.

MC & Jacob asks 1-7 :33
Gladly!!!! (You have no idea how ready I am to talk about OC’s just all the time)
1) Do you have any face claims for your MC and Jacob?
My MC (Her name’s Anna Louise, so I’ll be calling her Annie) and Jacob look eerily similar, yet still look like their opposite parent. Annie has her dad’s bronze complexion and bright amber eyes. She spends a lot of time outside during the summers taking care of her pets and camping because she’s one of those people, so she comes back to Hogwarts every year with freckles and bug bites. From ages 15-17, Annie hits a growth spurt and shoots up from around 5’ 2” to just over 6’. My FC for Annie is Gina Rodriguez (A goddess, she’s so pretty, I love her).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
My Jacob (Sorry Canon Jacob, you’re just really… ugly isn’t a nice way of putting it, but man, is it an accurate way) looks more like their mom, with really curly black hair and ice-blue eyes, which stick out against his olive skin tone. They look really intense and make Jay and his mom look really scary and intimidating, but that fades away once you learn their mom embroiders in her free time and Jay still needs someone else to kill the spiders he finds in the house (The one who takes care of them is their dad, he puts them outside). I don’t have a FC for my Jacob, sorry!
2) Does your MC/Jacob’s family have any relation to canon characters/families? Are these relations impactful to MC and their story?
Honestly? Who knows if they are! Their mom was a closed adoption case so they don’t really know much about her family, only that they think she’s from Ireland.
Their dad, on the other hand, knows exactly who he’s related to and can name it up to four generations back, the first to move to America (Oh yeah, their dad is from Pennsylvania, that’s why her parents were visiting relatives in the Christmas event. They’re direct relatives). He has a plethora of siblings who went on to have plethoras of children, so who knows who’s married who and knows who?
3) What was Jacob’s friendship with Duncan and Olivia like? What was their dynamic before and during working with R?
Okay, so Jacob and Duncan actually met in their first year, after Jay kept asking potions questions with increasing idiocy. It was obvious that he was just messing with the teacher, but he said it with such a straight face that you just had to give him props for not breaking character. It was pretty funny. After class, Duncan immediately asked him to grab lunch together, ‘even if you are a half-brained Gryffindor’. Jay punched him in the arm and they ate in the courtyard. They became pretty good friends, and Jay did mention it to his family (he really did love his family, honest) but he called him by a bunch of different nicknames, which is why Annie didn’t know who ‘Duncan’ was.
Olivia met Duncan and Jay sorta on the way? It was less of a ‘bonding over shared stupidity’ type thing that Jay and Duncan had, and more of a ‘well, someone has to babysit you two, and I guess I’ll do it’. They all got pretty close, sparking a few rumors of ‘fighting over Olivia love triangle’ among their classmates, which couldn’t be farther from the truth in Jay’s case (If ya catch my drift *wink wink nudge nudge*). When they started working for R, Olivia and Duncan expected to get caught up in it, being Ravenclaw and Slytherin, but it surprised them both to find out that Jay actually got really into it. Like, scarily obsessed. (That’s basically canon though, right? I think?)
4) Is Jacob physically and/or mentally different after he is released from the vaults? How does he change?
Whoo boi, this is a fun one. Yes, Jacob obviously looks a lot worse when he first gets out. Scraggly, deathly pale (well, as pale as he can be), and in desperate need of a shower. When they get him well fed and washed up, looking better, he needs a new prosthetic left leg, and has a few scars from the vaults’ dangers (Seriously, how has MC and their friends not gotten seriously harmed after all of this? It’s crazy!) He also has really deep bags under his eyes. When this is pointed out to him by Annie’s friends, he gets quiet and pouty, and Annie tells them he’s always had them, yes, he knows he looks like he needs a nap.
Also, anxiety up the wazoo! I mean, destroying cursed vaults, getting locked away, best friend literally dying, I’d be scared too! That’s gotta be some serious PTSD! It’s okay though (Well, sorta okay) because Annie got some anxiety along the way (Her brother went missing for how many years?? She’s had to do how much to save him?? No duh she’s messed up!) and Ben obviously has some, so at least Jay doesn’t have to suffer through it without any coping or support.
5) What career does/did Jacob want to pursue? Does it change after he was freed from the vaults?
Jacob, in case it wasn’t clear, loved finding curses and breaking them. He wouldn’t have done all this if it was begrudgingly, right? Also, I feel like he really did do it because he wanted to keep people safe from the vaults. At first, anyways, but obviously working with R messed with him. I feel like he wanted to be a curse breaker at first, with his amount of dedication and willingness to help others, but he probably was scarred after the vaults and finally getting out.
I think he had a few years to just get away from everything: the reporters, the school, the wizarding world, everything. He goes and lives with his maternal grandparents’ in Castlebar, Ireland (They’re muggles, so they keep him pretty well sheltered from everything magic). After a few years of peace and quiet, I think he would probably settle down with a much less stressful job. He always really loved creatures, magical or otherwise, so he’d probably take up a job at an adoption place, or a vets office maybe! Jay has other interests in life besides curses.
6) What’s Jacob’s opinions of prefects, especially the ones 4 years older than MC?
Okay, so my Jacob is six years older than Annie, so Annie’s prefects would have been there when he was going there. Jay, pre-missing, was nice to everyone (canon for the house elves, at least), he got good grades, he was funny, and he was really charming overall. People looked up to him, and he kept his vault studies under the radar. He was a model citizen on the surface, so the prefects probably looked up to him, or at the very least knew about him (How big is Hogwarts? It can’t be that big, plus word travels fast there, right? Everyone always seems to know everything about MC).
Jay himself, however, didn’t really care for prefects. He just thought of them as glorified hall monitors, and he couldn’t risk them stopping him from finding the vaults. Wasn’t it enough that they yelled at him for harmless pranks?
That being said, Jay thinks that the fact that Annie, his first partner in crime, the ‘rambunctious’ O’ Reilly child, the one who was breaking just about every rule and ignoring every caution just to find him, that Annie, his Annie, is a prefect? Are you serious? Really?
It took until the coughing attacks came for him to finally stop laughing.
7) What memory or thought does MC/Jacob use when conjuring a Patronus (if they can even conjure a corporeal one at all)? What form does it take?
Jacob’s Patronus is a lion. He likes his Patronus because lions are sick as hell. He also kinda hates it because, and he knows he can never tell anyone at school this, his middle name is Leon and he has always said he hated his middle name, and he feels like this is probably some kinda cosmic justice, isn’t it?
His memory was getting the family Crup. Jay was twelve and he got to name it. He named it Furry Mercury and Furry slept in his room until he was too big to fit in the bed without pushing Jacob out.
Annie’s Patronus is corporeal but it’s pretty weak. It’s a tabby-cat if she can conjure it. The first time it was corporeal enough to actually touch, it licked her hand and she almost cried (Annie is pretty emotional and I think it’s bull that JamCity won’t let MC cry!).
The memory Annie thinks of is when her parents took her and Jay to Disney World when she was seven. They bought Mickey Mouse ears for all of them, ate a bunch of cotton candy (Papa O’Reilly’s stomach did not care for that), went on the Haunted Mansion ride no less than three times, and ate dinner at Gaston’s Tavern. None of this was the part she thinks of though. Her memory is being on her dad’s shoulders, tired from the long day and half-asleep, when the fireworks came on. She sat in awe watching them and didn’t talk for the rest of the night as they went back to their hotel. Her mom asked if she had fun and she just nodded and quietly said, ‘Today was a good day.’ (Okay yes, that’s my own happy memory, but what’s a good character if it doesn’t have a little self-projection?)
Oh man! I really went off, didn’t I? But yeah! That’s just a bit about my MC and her idiot brother! Thanks for this, I never get to talk about my OC’s (In case you couldn’t tell.) If you’re the one who started the meme, I do have a playlist on Spotify. Message me if you want it, okay?
Questions from here!

Get Into My OC - Anne
Tumblr media
(Faceclaim - Rosamund Pike)
Name: Anne Eliana Trevelyan
Nickname: Annie; Fletch (Varric’s nickname for her)
Age: 24 at the beginning of Inquisition (her story will begin after Trespasser, so she’ll be 27/28 by that point)
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Orientation: Heterosexual
Profession: Former Inquisitor/Herald of Andraste
Background: The youngest sibling of Bann Aedan Trevelyan of Ostwick, Anne was always something of an outsider in her family even before her father’s death when she was five. Her elder brother, resentful of his responsibility to have his youngest siblings raised right, was quick to send her to the Chantry for her education, no doubt in the hope that she would take orders and no longer be any trouble. While her next brothers did, indeed, take orders, Anne did not, and at the age of twenty, was sent back to Ostwick. Her insistence on maintaining close ties with the one mage among their sibling group alienated her from her eldest brother, and as her other sisters were married off, she found herself increasingly shunned by her family. In quiet retaliation, she took up the bow and sword, and began hiring herself out as protection to merchants traveling the roads between Ostwick itself and the Circle, using that as an excuse to visit even more frequently with Liesl, her mage sister. When the mage-templar conflict broke out and reached Ostwick, she was at the Circle Tower, and witnessed the trouble that overtook them, risking her own life to guide her sister and a few others to an enclave of apostate mages passing through on their way to Ferelden.
When Bann Trevelyan was asked to stand witness at the Conclave of the proceedings there, he took the opportunity to send Anne as far away as possible, appointing her in his stead. This, of course, is how she ended up as the Herald of Andraste and the Inquisitor. She created deep friendships with all her inner circle at Skyhold, proving her loyalty to those friendships without needing to be asked many times over. She is a quiet person, but not without humor, fierce in her friendships and passionate about her decisions. The revelation of Solas’ identity, culpability in the events that put her where she is, and the loss of her arm have all taken a toll on her disposition - after the Exalted Council, what strikes people most strongly about her is the air of quiet sadness she carries close.
Inquisition: Allied with the mages; allied with the Wardens; allowed Florianne to murder Celene, and put Gaspard on the throne of Orlais; saved the Chargers; promised Blackwall to the Wardens; supported Cullen’s decision to quit lyrium; encouraged Cassandra to gather and reform the Seekers; allowed Varric to help Cole become more human; allowed Morrigan to drink from the Well; Vivienne became Divine; disbanded the Inquisition; hopes to redeem Solas (but knows she can’t do it herself).
PHYSICAL
Body type: Slender, athletic, toned
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Blonde; long, tends to waves and curls if unbound; most often worn in a chignon twist off her face and neck
Skin: Pinky-pale, light scattering of freckles over her nose and shoulders, otherwise burns easily in strong sunshine
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 148 lbs
Distinguishing Marks: Left arm amputated above the elbow, scarred with silver-gray track marks that fade before they reach her shoulder
SKILLS (S.P.E.C.I.A.L + M)
Strength: 6/10. Long convalescence following the loss of her arm has sapped her strength.
Perception: 8/10. She retains her trained senses, as well as her ability to read the emotions of a room full of people.
Endurance: 7/10. Again, her long recovery following the Exalted Council has weakened her physical stamina; mentally, she is stronger.
Charisma: 7/10. Quiet she might be, but when she speaks, most people listen.
Intelligence: 9/10. She was well educated, and has never stopped learning.
Agility: 7/10. Another trait that has been diminished following the removal of the Anchor, but she can still move with reasonable agility.
Luck: 5/10. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. It’s fairly balanced, both ways.
Magic: 1/10. Despite the fact that she is no mage, living with the Anchor for so long has left her with the ability to shape the Fade to her will when she dreams.
LIKES
Colors: Pinks, yellows, pale greens
Smells: Baking bread, incense, Crystal Grace
Food: Mashed potatoes with garlic and butter; apple pie
Fruit: Raspberries
Drinks: Spiced warm milk
Alcoholic drinks: Wine, preferably white
OTHER
Smoke: Never
Drugs: Only medicinally
Travel: A fine horsewoman, well able to ride pretty much any mount in the Inquisition stables, and particularly attached to her Mountain Dracolisk
Want to know more about her? Go ahead and ask! My inbox is always open!

Wednesday Roundup 11.10.2017
It’s that time of a week again where I prove to be nothing if not a complete glutton for punishment, which apparently includes having way too many trades preordered on the same week by magical coincidence. It’s like the old saying, when it rain it pours. And sometimes it’s just ridiculous. 
But we’re seeing the closing a few storylines, the beginning of a few, and just a general large array of comics at our disposal, including more of the Marvel Primers. So I say we just dig right into it. 
Tumblr media
Marvel’s All-New Wolverine, Marvel’s Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows, DC’s Batgirl and the Birds of Prey, Marvel’s Captain America, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, Marvel’s Immortal Iron Fists, DC’s New Super-Man, Image’s Rat Queens, DC’s Red Hood and the Outlaws, Marvel’s Runaways, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, IDW’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Universe
Marvel’s All-New Wolverine (2015-present) #25 Tom Taylor, Juann Cabal, Nolan Woodard
Tumblr media
Will I ever run out of good things to say about All-New Wolverine? No? Good. I wouldn’t want to be dishonest and that would be the only way I’d have negative things to say about my love for this series.
Story: So believe it or not, the relationship between Daken and Laura is something I have desperately wanted to see more of. In the Daken/X-23 crossover they had a few years ago, I really felt like we got somewhere with their relationship, and the bits and pieces since then have really helped my attitude only grow stronger on the subject. So seeing Taylor hint at it growing more in the last arc, and knowing it would be delivered on in this arc has me SO excited about what is to come. 
You know. When Daken is around for more than an awesome bar fight that... leads to his dismembered arm being hung from a bridge. THAT old plot device. I’m a little sad to see that Gabby is being left behind (especially since her outfits never cease being adorable and hilarious) but knowing that we’re dealing with Mutant Bigots this time around somewhat made me appreciate that decision. I worry way too much about Gabby to take that at face value.
And then that cliffhanger hits like a freight train and it’s like WHAAAAT. But no like what. Oh my god. Is this real? I know we have to wait a month but. uh. Kudos, Tom Taylor. I am not often surprised by characters seemingly returning from the dead anymore. To say this was not expected is VASTLY underplaying my shock.
Art: There have been a lot of great artists on this title and I don’t think Juann Cabal is an exception to that rule. He has solid character art, lots of good control of backgrounds and paneling, and got pretty inventive with combining flashbacks with Laura’s current travels and actions. And the bar scene with Daken was just fantastic all around like, a simple but highly effective action sequence and I’m really excited to see what action he’ll draw Laura herself in as we carry on. 
Marvel’s Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows (2016-present) #12 Ryan Stegman, Brian Level, Jesus Aburtov
Tumblr media
We wrap up another storyline of what has quickly become my favorite Spidey series of the ‘10s and it comes with highest of highs and lowest of lows. And lots and lots of adorable hugs.
Story: I was concerned that with the pacing we had had for this storyline up to this point that there would be a lot of things that would have to be knitted together a bit too tight or not at all, and that definitely seemed to be the case. We flew through this issue with revelations hitting in waves. Ms. January was the villain all along, Normie is suddenly a perfectly normal kid who was just misled, the symbiote is removed from MJ using sonic waves, Annie saves her parents, and just overall there was a lot that happened within this single comic. It all made emotional sense, and the hug between Annie and Normie at the end, bringing their family feud at last to an end, felt completely right. 
I liked small callouts like having Liz be the parent Normie needed, the X-Men coming to help the Parker family, and the amazing banter between MJ and Peter, but I think because there was so much fit into this last issue there felt like a bit of continuity bending to make logical sense where the emotions didn’t quite carry us. Like Normie’s... complete change in character. And Ms. January’s apparent obsession/love of Harry and need to avenge him. These things make sense if they fed into each other -- Ms. January’s influence inspiring Normie to cut his mother out of his life even more than she had been already and then feeding him more and more hatred toward Spider-Man by saying that it was his fault. But that doesn’t make so much sense with what we read in the issues before, specifically the issue where Normie took up arms to protect his company and revealed his backstory through his own internal monologue and flashbacks. 
So while this confrontation has been 12 issues in the build up, the resolution mostly came... only from this issue. Maybe the last two issues, too, if we’re being generous. 
The epilogue confuses me. It feels like Renew Your Vows is trying to wrap itself up and yet I know from solicits that it’s not, but we are justifying a timeskip to eight years in the future so that artists have an excuse to draw a teenage girl in a tighter costume --  I MEAN BECAUSE THEY WANT TO TELL MORE TEEN ORIENTED STORIES OBVIOUSLY. But I worry that this change is going to make what has been a unique take on the Parker-Watson family and turn it into Sider-Girl Lite, which is unfair to everyone all around. Also were they... not operating for those eight years? Why is the new costume a big deal for her eighteenth birthday? How much sense would it make for them to just... suddenly find a way to stop Annie from going out as a superhero with them when the whole point of the past 12 issues is that they couldn’t. 
What about Dr. Connors and his son? What about Annie’s additional precognitive powers? Did she end up going to the Xavier institute? 
I feel like I was asked to bite off a bit too much in this issue, and as much as I enjoyed it and enjoyed this series, I feel this is a rare storyline where I actually would have preferred an extra issue to set all of this up.
Art: The art is beautiful. Soft and textured but also sweeping and animatic like you would want for any good Spidey story. And considering that there has been a fair rotation of art teams on this book since the first issue, I really appreciate how much they worked toward giving the book a consistent style of its own. It was neat and helped even artist style changes feel coherent still and I’m really interested to see if this dedication to that continues, especially since the epilogue appeared to have a different feel to it. 
It’ll be interesting to see next month either way. 
DC’s Batgirl and the Birds of Prey (2016-present) #15 Julie Benson, Shawna Benson, Roge Antonio, Marcelo Maiolo
Tumblr media
Well, I’m sure for 99% of you this is an unexpected addition to the roster. For those unaware, I have put the first volume of Batgirl and the Birds of Prey on blast on my personal blog @renaroo for having some things I consider to be insufferable in regards to the handling of Barbara and specifically the consistent villainization of Oracle. Which you know, I’m about sick of. 
So why am I picking up BoP now? Simple: Cass is going to start appearing regularly beginning with this particular storyline and I will support her here since for finances I’ve had to move ‘Tec to trade wait. 
and oh boy. This is. Something.
Story: So there’s this old episode of the animated Justice League series where an Amazon OC standing in for Donna Troy unleashed a plague on Earth that only affected men and it was putting all men in comas and the such and it left the only two women of a seven-person Justice League because of course there were only two women to deal with it and save the world... well half of it. It was broad strokes of feminism as written by men which included Diana being the strawwoman feminist who couldn’t understand if losing men (including her friends???) would doom society and Hawkgirl being the relatable cool egalitarian alien bird woman to be all “guuurrrrrlllll you need to respect men more”. It’s like. The episode i remember the most from my childhood and I hate it with the burning passion of a thousand suns. 
Apparently I’m not the only one who remembers it however because that... that is the plot of this storyline. I don’t know why they couldn’t just bring back the ebola plague from Batman: Contagion which was a legitimately good storyline I like but we’re doing the... gender specific plague. 
Are they going to address trans men and women? How is this disease preying specifically on men? Is it magical in origin and that why it follows no rules? Why is Lois here? Is Wonder Woman here just because of that Justice League episode? 
I don’t know. 
I appreciate that we didn’t waste a whole lot of time with Batwoman’s squad duking it out with Babsgirl’s squad over whether or not antiheroes who.... one of which she’s worked with before and... another of which she knows for a fact is... engaged to her cousin. But whatever. Also Steph in her post-Belfry uniform is... going along with this okay. I’m picking too much but there’s a lot of what in those four pages.
I do appreciate that the dialogue seemed to match everyone’s character very well, and Oliver and Dinah were hysterical and lovable together. .... But damn is it difficult to wrap my head around Babs’ character anymore. Like literally falling to her knees and tearing up begging Poison Ivy (who she was friends with in the previous BoP???? which is sitll canon bc they bring it up???) to help because “people she loves” are affected by the disease like. It’s the antithesis of the Babs I knew and was familiar with and admired in the day but. I guess that’s the Babs we have now. And I’m just... supposed to roll with it I guess. 
Also enjoyed Helena being a teacher again, that was awesome. Even if her calling up Dick instead of Babs was... still difficult to process but whatever. 
Art: It’s good! Really consistent, the lineart was sometimes a little softer than I prefer, but there were varied bodytypes and lots of good action sequences handled concisely enough that it didn’t feel like panel space was wasted. I really enjoyed it overall.
Marvel’s Captain America - Marvel Legacy Primer Page Robbie Thompson, Valerio Schiti
Tumblr media
I have been pretty vocal in my disdain for how Marvel has handled Cap for the last two years and I join pretty much everyone in a chorus of “how can you misunderstand something so bad” but at the same time I’m... just tired. And it’s hard to even be excited at the fact that the reign of Spencer is over because it feels like the enjoyment and interest I’ve felt for Cap for all this time is simply used up. which is why a primer like this is really something that I needed. I needed to see a reminder that Cap punches Nazis and Hydra and Marvel -- or at least some people at Marvel remember that still. I don’t want that history gone, cosmic cubed or otherwise. And given Waid and Samnee’s interviews it seems they’re going to push for just that. 
Here’s hoping they accomplish it because even these three pages of Cap acting like Cap again was enough to make me smile at least a little. 
Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy - Marvel Legacy Primer Page Robbie Thompson, Marcus To
Tumblr media
If I was going for snark and snark alone here I would begin and end this with “why is Scott Lang here” because no really why is Scott Lang with the Guardians of the Galaxy. And it’s something I shouldn’t be asking because I really have still -- even in liking the movies as much as I do -- not found myself any more persuaded to read into the space opera stuff over at Marvel. It’s just not something I want in my life right now. 
Marcus To’s art is very nice, though, and usually worth it on its own. Even if I’m beginning to notice a touch of samefaceness in the art style At least it’s a very pretty face. 
Marvel’s Immortal Iron Fists (2017) #6 (of 6) Kaare Andrews, Afu Chan, Shelly Ghen
Tumblr media
Immortal Iron Fists has come to an end and I’m both saddened and yet incredibly enthusiastic about how everything turned out!
Story: So I feel like it should not have taken the better part of 5 issues for me learn that Pei and her friends are sixteen and not... middle schoolers despite how they were drawn and how they acted as way way younger than that. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that... it’s not that they’re drawn or written younger, it’s that it’s that unusual to find an American comic that actually shows teenagers appropriately and that helped me gain a whole new respect for a series that I was already very much enjoying.
Everyone coming together and remembering Pei for the impact we have seen her make in their lives, Pei fully realizing her power as Iron Fist, and the general fun of a huge climactic battle that was a three way fight between Pei, demons, and the Mother of All Dragons is probably one of the most bombastic that can be asked for. And I love that Brenda made a comeback after her truly terrible exit from the finale of Immortal Iron Fist under Andrews, but at the same time don’t... really care for how it wasn’t set until last issue. 
All the positives of this story almost make me overlook the unnecessary, though appreciably subverted, kiss of life Pei gives her guy friend and I love that Danny, man serial dater that he is, is flumexed by this turn of events. 
Everything is fun and delightful and I really really appreciate how dedicated this comic was from beginning to end to be Pei’s story and not letting that focus escape it the entirety of the six issues. 
Also Brenda flying off on the Mother of All Dragons at the end and being like stfu Danny you ruined a good thing was hysterical and I loved it.
Art: There was definitely more production in this finale There seemed to be a lot more variation in coloring and textures, and even the characters seemed to keep almost perfectly on model the entire time. The one distraction of note, though, was that Pei... developed more into a traditional teenager look by the end... by which I mean.... boobs are now a thing and I’m not sure if it was just that she wore thicker clothes throughout the story or if it was because much like myself, the art team realized last issue for the first time that Pei was a sixteen year old and not... twelve. Anyway. It was a little distracting, but the increase in panel variation and high number of action sequences definitely made the story far more fulfilling in my view. 
DC’s New Super-Man (2016-present) Vol. 2: Coming to America Gene Luen Yang, Billy Tan, Viktor Bogdanovic
Tumblr media
After what felt like a long wait, we join Kenan and the rest of the Justice League of China once more on a bombastic quest as written by Gene Luen Yang. And much like last time, the results are rather unexpected and honestly kind of remarkable.
Story: Going off of my experiences with Yang’s work, I really feel like his passion in storytelling lies in finding the balance between the question of identity and how identity is formed by the cultures that nurtured us and how it is formed by the influences of the cultures around us. I think that was the main focus of American Born Chinese but it really is beginning to shine through Kenan’s adventures here as the New Super-Man and how much of the titular’s character is being drawn from the two huge influences he is feeling -- the pressures and dangers of the Chinese government and culture, and the admiration and sometimes oppressive shadows of the American culture that he is both attempting to copy as Super-Man and attempting to circumvent by finding the focus of his powers in Chinese philosophies and values. 
And I think that’s where his supporting cast -- Wonder-Woman and Bat-Man and now also Avery Ho’s take on the Flash -- are really coming into play. While Kenan is being torn back and forth by his responsibilities and his bombastic self-absorption both in his internal conflict and his external conflict of learning the truth of his parents, we are getting a broader exposure to what being a superhero in China means as opposed to the normalcy we’ve come to expect from Western comics. 
Bat-Man is just as influenced by his family as Batman, but the pressures are more in the focus on building his exceptionalism and in differing from his sister on whether to stay within a system that robs children of their childhoods and individuals of their sense of self, or to find purpose within that system and excel based upon the traits which only he can bring. 
Wonder-Woman, like Wonder Woman, is derived from myth and legend but instead of a Western legacy, it is purely Chinese and her alienation and stand offish nature initially toward the rest of her team only makes that much more sense given what has brought her to her current state. She is a myth, a legend herself, but she is nearly forgotten by the current times -- Kenan even has to be told the story of her origins by Bat-Man -- and her finding the will to fit into a China that is so influenced by external cultures and influences are a struggle we’re only now beginning to appreciate. 
And finally, with Flash, a Chinese-American, we’re going to receive yet another wild perspective, and considering Kenan’s already developing friendship with Avery I imagine that this is a perspective that will only receive more focus in stories to come. And I perceive that Yang’s inclinations to reference the struggles of culture and self-identity are going to be explored further here.
All around i greatly enjoyed this volume and am looking forward to the continuation now that Kenan has finally learned the truth about his family. There are a lot of interesting new angles to explore and I hope we do just that.
Art: The art is really reminiscent of Greg Capullo’s run on Batman, but has a whole lot more color and variety breathed into it which I personally really appreciate. The colors do a good job of presenting the differences in everyone’s base personalities and also makes the action sequences easier to follow even as the action itself becomes increasingly complex. The page layouts were fairly reserved considering the DC standard lately, but I personally appreciated it because it kept the focus on the storytelling and in doing so enhanced the nuances therein. 
Great work all around, and yet another enjoyable volume. 
Image’s Rat Queens (2013-present) Vol. 4: High Fantasies Kurtis J. Wiebe, Owen Gieni, Ryan Ferrier
Tumblr media
I only recently jumped on the barge for Rat Queens and I’ve been more than happy with the results of caving to the advice of many friends. Because what is better than female-full cast of hilarious and dramatic DnD like adventures with more swearing than a naval ship? I gotta say, not much!
Story: So compared to the previous volumes, I actually found High Fantasies to feel like it had a lot less at stake. Although part of that may just be that I was somewhat anticipating a Betty-centric volume finally to elevate her out of being the shroom eating comic relief and bring more of the assassination attempts and her outlaw past into the forefront. And that’s clearly a problem of my own expectations and not necessarily the story’s fault itself. That said, the focus on Vol. 4 being on a gender bent loser version of the Rat Queens was pretty funny but also not something I would have thought carried enough weight to pivot as the main plot, but that would be just me. 
I do appreciate Braga being in a larger role this time around, and really I wish we could see more less human creatures on the roster in general. It was also a huge heartwarming feeling to have Hannah more comfortable around her Queens and even showing some horns now and then in public. It feels like a huge progression of her character, even as she spends a fair amount of time earning the girls’ ire and.... walking in on naked mayors. As you do.
Basically Vol. 4 isn’t as character centric as the previous volumes have been, but it is a great adventure that feels like a good ol’ fashion DnD campaign with the friends you love at the helm and for fantasy nerds like me that’s more than enough to bring me back into the story.
Art: The art is always spectacular with Rat Queens, but I did find  that this volume -- mostly as a result of not going to as many unestablished and important/original locations, did have a significant lack f inventive background use. That’s not always a slam on art, really the art was very good, and I actually am just... happy to not have Upchurch as the artist, honestly. That alone is worth three and a half gold stars. Though the whole controversy there is still my largest apprehension with the series at this point. 
DC’s Red Hood and the Outlaws (2016-present) Vol. 2: Who is Artemis? Scott Lobdell, Dexter Soy, Kenneth Rocafort
Tumblr media
Okay who authorized this? Who made this comic exist and who made it be actually good?? Because I didn’t and I feel offended at the amount of emotions that were forced upon me in this single volume of a comic written by Scott friggin’ Lobdell of all people. You couldn’t have told me a month ago that I would be enjoying anything that was remotely connected to Scott Lobdell and expect me not to laugh hard enough I’d bring myself to tears. 
And yet here we are.
Story: Having learned a bit from how lackluster the attempts of balancing the concentration of the narrative was for his previous incarnations of the Outlaws, Lobdell somehow learned how to, y’know, write an ensemble narrative that is still heavily Jason Todd’s perspective, but does not lose any opportunities to expand on or even concentrate on the stories and character development of Bizarro and Artemis. oth of which are shockingly well handled and shockingly controlled, well paced, and interwoven into each other’s stories. 
Like legitimately, did someone nab the Lobdell who wrote decent 90s Marvel comics and put him on this project? Because that feels like the kind of bizarre logic that would seem acceptable at this point.
Now, of course, it’s not perfect. Far from it. But at the end of the day we got an intriguing ongoing story, a team building exercise, Jason’s internal struggle personified both through his inner monologue and flashbacks, but also moments like his sparing of Bizarro whic not only didn’t have overly wordy exposition bringing attention to it, but was strong enough and meaningfully enough that from it alone we could see what Jason couldn’t: he is not as lost, he is not as amoral, and he’s not as cold as he has tried desperately to prove himself to be.
I actually found the take on Artemis and the Bana Mighdall pretty interesting in this retelling, and I like that we have a rogue Amazon as a new enemy for the team. 
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m super excited to see what will come after this. 
Art: There was a range of artists, which is fine, the industry standard of pushing out these comics with the turnaround that they do does cause some disconnect, but for the most part an artist stayed for at least the completionof their storyline and then she was. And overall the trade still fel tconsistent, with some artists just standing out more than other. 
Marvel’s Runaways (2017-present) #2 Rainbow Rowell, Kris Anka, Matthew Wilson
Tumblr media
The new run of Runaways absolutely blew me away last month by shooting any and all expectations I had right through the skylight and beyond, so a good premise with beloved characters and a set in conflict really leads to a question of how do the pieces fall in order?
Story: I absolutely adore how Gert being the heart and glue of the family is being so blatantly emphasized throughout this (and that Old Lace is back). I also love that... honestly the trauma and lingering horrors Chase and Nico have survived in particular are being treated as real and damning in the eyes of someone who knew them only two years ago already. But most of all I love the emotional balance. Gert’s anger and disappointment are justified, but her crudeness and accusatory nature are also clearly shown as being wrong and too subjective. The important thing to her, and thus to the group, is to come together again. And I love that it is her prime motivation through and through. 
That all being said, after such a bombastic first issue, it was a little difficult to have the momentum come to a halt so quickly. I don’t want to be taken wrong, I love issues where comics take their time and really meditate on the characters, their reactions to evens former and to come, and really develop relationships and the such. But it does feel a little unnatural to have that only two issues in when the previous issue was SO incredibly packed. 
I’m still fascinated with where we can go from here and very excited to see that Victor, Xavin, and Klara might not be destined to eternal obsecurity like I assumed when the book was first announced. 
Art: Honestly I’m still amazed at just how fantastic the art really is in this comci. .It’s SO good and the designs for all the characters are simply gorgeous. Though probably the best thing about all of it is the great coloring we see done here. Top notch. 
Marvel’s Spider-Man - Marvel Legacy Primer Page Robbie Thompson, Valerio Schiti
Tumblr media
I think I know less about what Marvel plans to do with Miles these days than Marvel knows what to do with Miles, which is horrifying because I just set that bar about as low as it could possibly have gone. But we.... have Rio Morales back which is the big reason I stopped keeping up with Miles to begin with so yay? I don’t know. 
I feel like this primer is actually aimed at fans like me who got off the wagon back when the Ultimate title lost most of its steam both from killing off too many of Miles’ personal supporting cast and becoming too much about tertiary cast’s origins and then Peter Parker returning to life and stuff’s weird. This feels like a big neon sign that says “Things are back! The origin’s the same! Do not look behind the curtain!” It makes me curious but also apprehensive at the same time. 
also can we get robbie thompson to write miles’ book and bendis let someone else write some books already jfc this was such a relief. 
IDW’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Universe (2016-present) Vol. 2 Nick Pitarra, John Lees, Brahm Revel, Ryan Ferrier, Adam Gorham, Sophie Campbell, Bobby Curnow, Pablo Tunica
Tumblr media
So unlike the rest of the reviews, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Universe doesn’t really fit my review format since it’s more like a collection of vignettes across the TMNT universe that feed into the main book and each story is written and drawn by a different team, so it wouldn’t have that same cohesion. 
As the giant Ninja Turtle fan that I am and probably always will be, I can’t get enough of the mythos and the characters in TMNT, so having a book that has a solid, even meditative point of just exploring smaller stories and little character developments that wouldn’t fit in the very tight and controlled narrative of the main title is something of a perfect godsend to me. I love it in concept and in execution.
One thing I worry about, however, is that there definitely seems to be a lot of stories here that feel necessary to keeping up with the main series. Such as the story of how Alopex and Angel ran into the Toad Baron and escaped -- that was a pretty crucial piece of information for the Eternals storyline a few issues back in the main book. So it feels like more and more, because of how tight and concentrated the main book is, they’re using books like Universe to fill in everything else, including buildup to larger more important narratives. And while that’s fine and even something I enjoy, it’s a move that will really push people to start being more choosy with their books. It’s much like keeping up with Transformers right now, and that tends to lead to some mixed bags. But I suppose we’ll trust and see.
At the end of the day, I have to pick the comics that really stuck with me the most. And while I was a little disappointed by a few titles this week, there was a pretty intense competition between the ones that genuinely caught me and made me really feel while reading them. And I think by that measurement I have to give the Pick of the Week this time around to the conclusion of Immortal Iron Fists. I was so worried about how this story could wrap everything up and it’s with mother flipping dragons that’s how. I love it. I love Pei and I love her being officially adopted by Danny who is TOTAL ridiculous dad now. This is the kind of Immortal Iron Fist I am happy to support. 
Tumblr media
As far as trades go... wow I for some reason was not anticipating getting slammed as much as I did, but I really didn’t feel like any of the books let me down. They were all pretty amazing and I felt like I also managed to incidentally cover the entire span of comic book genres and types in a matter of two days, which let’s admit it, pretty impressive. I feel like the new releases this week are honestly a harder competition than the single issues but twist my arm, surprising no one nearly as much as I’m surprising myself here, I have to pick Red Hood and the Outlaws for managing to be a comic that... is unexpectedly good and unexpectedly sincere and unexpectedly emotionally motivating in ways that I wish... more comics... were? I just. have a real hard time complimenting Lobdell after tearing his books a new one for..... six years straight now.  But... thank you? for writing well? And making me feel things? For Jason Todd, Bizarro, and Artemis? Am I doing this right?
Tumblr media
And those are the comics for this week! Did you happen to agree with me? Disagree? Think I missed out on picking up a comic that was good? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
But before I let you go, I have to (yes have to) plug once more:
I have exactly a month to pack up everything I own and move halfway across the country again which is not helping those financial crunches I mentioned before either.
As such, I really would appreciate if you enjoy my content or are interested in helping me out, please check out either my Patreon or PayPal. Every bit helps and I couldn’t thank you enough for enjoying and supporting my content.
You could also support me by going to my main blog, @renaroo, where I’ll soon be listing prices and more for art and writing commissions.

So... *puts lawn chair down and sits in it* tell us *leans forward, elbows on knees, hands folded in front of my mouth* about the OC children you have with Robbie and how you envision their relationships with their significant others? *pushes glasses up, then whips popcorn out of nowhere and munches*
OC kid relationships under the cut!
Alvise: After he is no longer first in line to be King, he takes a long break to just... not have to be anyone but himself. And figure out who that is without the crushing pressure of the crown. He eventually becomes a teacher. I haven’t figured out what subject, but he’ll be good at it because he gets really into trying to make the lessons interesting and fun.
While he’s studying for that, he frequents a cafe, and becomes close to a barista, tentatively named Jupiter, who’s an ex-professional ballerina after an injury. 
They have a very honest, mutually-supportive, loving relationship and they’re honestly probably the healthiest couple of my OC kids.
Felice: oh boy.
Well, he and Annie, @autorhythmicity‘s OC adopted daughter, grew up together and were childhood friends. They are also kind of polar opposites. Felice is gifted at charm and witty wordplay for instance, while Annie... is gifted at constantly shoving her foot in her own mouth due to insecurities/temper issues. 
Felice takes over the role of Crown Prince when he sees how the pressure is destroying Alvise, who is not cut out for it and doesn’t want it. This means, of course, that he will be King of Altaria one day.
At this point, he and Annie have been dating for a while. They are madly in love, and despite having clashing personalities they have a reasonably good relationship.
Then Felice tells her he’s going to be King someday in place of his older brother.
And he proposes.
And she freezes up at the prospect of being Queen if she marries him, then dumps him in the harshest way. Not because she doesn’t love him, not because she doesn’t want to marry him, but because she very much acts on her emotions, and her emotions about being jointly responsible for a country were very negative at that point in time.
After a couple of years, they eventually get back together, and they do eventually marry and have a happy marriage. But it takes a LOT of work on both sides to reestablish their relationship, especially one where they’re both on the same page for once. It’s not easy, but they’re a stronger couple for working through it together.
Giada: The responsible one, who Roberto sometimes jokes was “born old.” She’s not a robot or stick-in-the-mud, but... I guess she’s just closer to Alberto in temperament/work ethic? lmao. She eventually gets together with @and-beastly‘s OC son Mitch (one of Lynn’s kids with Alberto). They’re an old-fashioned, romantic couple who do sweet things like leave love notes around the house for each other.
Luna: The baby of the family. She goes through a rebellious adolescence, but grows up and becomes very aware of the advantages her status offers her in contrast to others. She starts doing a lot of humanitarian work. On one trip, she meets this really big, buff, extremely jaded guy named uh...
crap I never named him.
ANYWAY Buff Cynic Man is wary of what she’ll be willing to do for the humanitarian organization he works for. She surprises him by diving right in and asking a ton of questions and not being afraid to do anything with the rest of the organization workers in their day-to-day work. She is extremely tiny, but she doesn’t let that stop her. 
She wins Buff Cynic Man’s respect, they have a good friendship/coworker thing going on. Then she asks him out. And they become a couple somehow. I still need to work on that a bit. XD;;
