MATCHING DINOSAURS

genre. fluff. warnings. kissing. pairing. anton x fem!reader. wc. 1k. a/n. @eternalgyu here's ur anton delusions <3

“I have a present for you!” You said excitedly, pushing Anton’s back towards your bedroom.

“What is it? Should I be scared?” He looked back at you, bewildered, but still allowed you to drag him towards the bedroom door.

“Why would you be scared? It’s cute, I promise.” You reassured him, pulling out a gift box from the closet and setting it on the bed. Anton sat down beside you, peering curiously at the medium sized blue wrapped box.

“It’s not even my birthday…” He mumbled with a laugh, picking up the box.

“Just open it!” You urged him, getting impatient to see his reaction to the cute present you had picked out at the store earlier.

Anton was soft and pure, so warm and gentle to everyone and everything that he didn’t even know how to raise his voice. He probably couldn’t even hurt an ant. Knowing this, you should’ve predicted that he would be the type to unwrap the present slowly and carefully to make sure the wrapping paper didn’t rip. He picked at the tape that was holding the paper together carefully until it separated from the box. 

It was a little endearing to watch, but also tested your patience even further. You were so excited to see his reaction and to see him use the present that you could barely think of anything else. But one of the things that had improved once you had started dating Anton was your patience, so you sat and waited as he unwrapped the present at his own pace. 

“You’re making me nervous by staring so hard.” He laughed shyly, his cheeks flushed as he finally slid the wrapping paper off the box, successfully saving its form without ripping it so it could be reused on another occasion. 

“I can’t miss your reaction.” You muttered, leaning even closer to stare even harder which caused both of you to giggle. 

The anticipation in the room was probably absurdly high for the occasion, but something about this little gift that you had gotten for him on a whim was exhilarating for both of you. You may have just been in your crappy small apartment, the lights dimmed to save electricity and the space running a little colder to save on the heating bill, but it still felt like it was one of the most precious moments of your life.

Your boyfriend slid off the lid of the box, revealing the contents of it. His face broke out into a huge smile once he saw what it was, quickly turning to face you again with his excitement. You smiled satisfactorily. This was the reaction you had been anticipating all day.

Anton picked up the set of pyjamas from the box, still admiring them carefully. They were a light green colour with a cute print of brachiosauruses all over in a darker green. When you saw them in the store, you immediately had to buy them for him. There was no way you would be able to leave them hanging on the rack.

“Guess what else?” You prompted. Anton turned to you, humming curiously in response, still holding his pair of pyjamas in his hands.

You pulled out another pair of pyjamas from your dresser drawer and held them up. These ones matched Anton’s, but were pink with triceratopses instead. You grinned and he giggled.

“They’re cute.” He commented, blushing at the thought of matching with you.

Once you were both changed into the comfy new pyjama sets, you settled down to watch a movie which had been your original plan for this evening. Cuddled next to Anton would always be your favourite place to be, tucked comfortably under his arm. He rested his head on top of yours. Your eyes were stuck on the movie screen while his eyes were closed, enjoying the pleasant scent of your hair.

“Did you get new shampoo?” He asked in a whisper, catching your attention enough for you to look up at him.

“Yeah. Is it good?” You smiled up at him, your eyes crinkling slightly— the sight made Anton’s chest feel warm.

“Smells like grapefruit.” He noted, breathing in the scent again, smiling against your hair, his nose buried in it. The feeling made a million butterflies start to dance in your stomach. 

You both focused back on the movie, watching mostly in silence, though sometimes you or Anton would let out soft giggles at something funny in the movie. Time went by quickly and before you knew it the end credits were rolling on the screen. Anton reached over to grab the remote and turn off the screen while you just snuggled deeper into the soft blankets you both were under.

There was a bit of a shift as you both got comfortable and ready for sleeping. You liked to fall asleep in a position that was still close and cuddled up to Anton, but at a distance where you could still look at him for your last whispered conversation before finally falling to the depths of your dreamland.

Anton smiled at you, cheek squished adorably against the pillow, his left hand resting against your waist and tracing the small pink triceratops on the fabric of your pyjama pants.

“Thank you for the present, lovely.”

“They were too cute not to get.” You grinned, eyes closing as tiredness swelled through your body. You loved falling asleep next to Anton, and you could feel the drowsiness taking over quickly.

“Don’t fall asleep yet.” Anton whined softly. You forced your eyes open to catch his pout before they fell shut again.

“Why? I’m tired.” You mumbled.

“You haven’t given me a goodnight kiss yet.”

You laughed softly at his response, “Come get your goodnight kiss then.” 

It didn’t take long for Anton to take you up on your offer, giving you just a small gentle kiss on the lips before settling back down on his pillow.

“I love you.” You whispered to him, teetering on the edge of awakeness and slumber. You fell asleep before you could hear him say it back to you, but those 3 words followed you into your dreams for the night, bringing warmth to your chest and the perfect familiar comfort that was always an effect of Anton.

GIRL DAD YEONJUN IS A BIG YES LIKE OML I STALKED THROUGH YOUR HEADCANONS LIKE AN ABSOLUTE MADWOMAN i do not regret it its 7am and im melting from the fluffiness of it all

but what about the other members 👀

how would they be as a girldad and as a boydad? i’d love to see your take on it!

omg omg thank you so much anon🩷 we must be on opposite sides of the world lol

hehe I feel like I have differing opinions than the rest of moablr but please headcanon what you like!

txt as dads

⋆｡°✩ Yeonjun:

I obviously believe in girl dad!yeonjun supremacy (read more here and here) but I feel like he could also have an extremely cool son- think adult-size sunglasses too big for his lil face. a taste for fashion when his friends are wearing those horrendous neon Nike shorts. but yeonjun's daughter would be such a daddy's girl and he would be a girl dad first and foremost. yeonjun isn't as into video games as some of the other members so I feel like his son (or daughter) wouldn't be as into them as the kids of the other members either

rest of the members under the cut

⋆｡°✩ Soobin:

I believe in girl dad!soobin because 1.) it's the most adorable thing ever and 2.) I think it would be so funny

hear me out, we obviously saw him with the twins but he said he was super nervous going into that since he is only used to hanging out with his nephew. imagine soobin with two daughters having his first son and he thinks it's gonna be a breeze since "boys are easier" but boy, was he wrong. his cutie son is a lot to handle and it turns out raising a boy from birth is a *lot* different than being a leader

like every other moa, I can see soob having the most kids. he just seems like the type of guy to have kids hanging off of him. plays video games with his kids but is also very strict about them washing their face/brushing their teeth. reads to them a lot and gets sucked into the storybooks they read together even when it's something silly like the day the crayons quit (a favorite of mine when I was a student librarian hehe)

⋆｡°✩ Beomgyu:

BOY DAD!!! I know girl dad!beomgyu is so popular but I just feel in my heart that he is a boy dad!! picture him and his son in matching sunglasses and tshirts. those silly ones with like "the original" on his and "the remix" on his son's. would call the baby "beomgyu junior" the whole pregnancy but once the baby was born he would have a million lil nicknames for that kid.

I can specifically picture beomgyu getting one of the other members to both go out with their babies in carriers on their chests and they just wave to everyone they see with the babies' hands. like, use the babies' hands to wave instead of theirs

boy dad beomgyu who builds the best pillowforts and is the best at play fighting and buys the coolest nerf guns and foam swords. boy dad beomgyu who had a special relationship with his dad and carries those traditions on with his kids. boy dad beomgyu who plays guitar for his kids and they think he's the coolest dad ever

if he has a daughter, she totally roughhouses with the boys but she gets princess treatment when she sits on daddy's lap while he plays guitar, her tiny fingers resting on the wood so she can feel the vibrations of the music. her big eyes filled with such deep appreciation for the music.

⋆｡°✩ Taehyun:

hmmm, honestly I also feel boy dad but he has a science son :) his wide-eyed son with glow in the dark stars on his ceiling and an ant farm and he exclusively wears dinosaur tshirts. taehyun and him nerd out together all the time. his son loves the planetarium and the library and also is in all the school plays. plays minecraft with beomgyu's son and soobin's oldest daughter

however, I can also see tyun's kids playing a lot of soccer (I can see him with two boys, close in age). they both would be on the soccer team that he assistant coaches (thank you @https-yeonjun for that headcanon<3). they are both into soccer- just like their daddy- and the one is into a bunch of other sports so he's always off to practice somewhere with his grass-stained knees and toothy grin. the three of them would spend match days glued to the tv to watch their favorite team. he'd buy them all matching jerseys for their favorite team too, with each of their favorite players names on the back

also taehyun would absolutely get a cat for his kids and they would have a chore wheel for days on who feeds it/ cleans the litterbox

if tyun had a daughter she would have the highest standards as a grown-up like. not quite spoiled like yeonjun's daughter, but omg the absolute most princess treatment of all time. that girl would have all her oranges peeled and her juice poured in her favorite cup and her hair brushed and she would never walk because she'd want to be carried everywhere and her daddy is strong so he carries her. she totally wears the matching soccer jerseys with her brothers and daddy too like, c'mon. soccer jersey and tutu and she absolutely crushes the other team when she's on the field

⋆｡°✩ Hyuka:

I feel like hyuka girl dad??? I also feel like he has the second most kids behind soobin. his daughter is just like him, effortlessly good at playing musical instruments. she plays like 4 and the house is always full of music. he's really calm as a dad and he isn't super shook when his kids act up. really good at gentle parenting and loves to teach his kids through their shared interests.

his daughter's bed is absolutely full of plushies. she def collects them and names them and they have a special order they have to go in on her bed. she sleeps with them all every night and gives each one a kiss before she goes to sleep. he takes her to the store and is the biggest enabler of her collection. he says he isn't spoiling her, just gifting her as a fellow collector, but we know she's spoiled

you know how hyuka is a copy-and-paste of his dad? if he has a son it's 100% gonna be a carbon copy of him. like, that boy is a HUENING and everyone can tell. tallest kid in his grade and has the exact same laugh and nose and eye crinkles.

any hueningkids would absolutely LOVE pokemon though, just like their dad. and they would totally get a dog and name it eevee

[herebecritters]

HEY!!!!when splendid wound back time in better off bread, did the idols get to keep the blood from the first time everyone died in that episode, or did the blood get, like, slurped back

OHOHOHOH THIS IS A GOOD ASK

So I had to think about it a bit and uh…yeah I think because it reversed time the original deaths didn’t count. The trio don’t really mess with time other than prolonging how long everyone lives. They have no idea it even happened.

Nergal though did experience some heavy deja vu as he caused Giggles to fall off the ledge and then threw a whole ass meteor at Toothys face that second time. —Side note, this meteor was probably the size of the chelyabinsk meteor (19 meters in diameter) rather than the Chixulub meteor that Nergal wiped out the dinosaurs with (approximately 15000 meters in diameter); the one he threw at toothy was just enough to destroy toothy and the surrounding forest and cause havoc in the town, but not world ending—

Bad luck was already in motion before Splendid got there and made it worse.

Thats why Splendid is considered one of the Isles “catalyst” residents. He’s just another bit of bad luck in motion. And Nergal takes advantage of that when it happens. It’s like Nergal sets up the dominoes and the catalyst comes in to knock ‘em over. Flippy is also often used as a catalyst resident and Lumpy’s amazing mental prowess causes him to end up being one from time to time too. Predominantly full time catalysts are fairly rare on the Isles though. Splendid ignoring the cries for help that second time around didn’t save anyone, it just took away his own involvement in their deaths is all.

Also speaking of time travel, Sniffles totally went all the way back to the DinoSore days when the curse was starting. Probably not too long before the meteor hit and set the curse of the Isles in full swing.

Right image I’d say it’s either a type of ichthyornithiformes, toothed flying birds that lived alongside their non avian dinosaur family members, or a Nemicolopterus, a small pterosaur from the Cretaceous. It died out technically before the end of the Cretaceous but I’m just working with what they give me here. To the right…..look….i have to remember that the people who worked on htf were not trying to be accurate and were just throwing around prehistoric looking animals willy nilly, but that thing looks like a drepanosaurus which was a bizarre little reptile from the Triassic period. I’m just gonna take some artistic liberties and say it’s a surviving member of that lineage that may or may not have existed during the Cretaceous and move on.

And also this guy totally lived in the trios old village and he ends up living in the First Civilization after the meteor impact I’ve decided. He may look like an anteater but he’s actually a gypsonictops. And yep, ants also existed at the time and they probably were eaten by mammals like gypsonictops. Im using Linguamyrmex vladi, the “hell ants”, just as an example cus they are cool.

[Chapter 10] Seeing the World Through Ballistic-Tinted Glasses

Standing that close to a nuclear weapon makes your stomach queasy. Before you could even blink, it could detonate, and every atom in your body would be utterly vaporized beyond belief. Like getting raptured and brought up to heaven, enveloping you in a blinding holy light, leaving nothing but your boots behind- and a crater the size of Texas. The nuclear weapons were smaller than you’d expect, about waist high, roughly the size and shape of a traffic cone. Standing so close to the three warheads makes you lightheaded. Surely these things aren’t emitting live radiation, right? 

“Graves’ got our exfil. Helo’s sixty seconds out.” Ghost called. It was almost as if he had refused to meet your gaze since your discovery. 

“Good fuckin' eye, Lua,” Gaz spoke up, hobbling on his weak leg to rest his palm on your shoulder, using the opportunity to steady himself.

“Ahh, I was never worried.” Soap chortled, meeting your gaze with a sly smile. 

You rolled your jaw in irritation, huffing out a breathy laugh. Sure, he was being sarcastic, but it stuck in the back of your mind that he was absolutely ready to leave you in the snow if your intuition didn’t whisper to recheck the forklift. He’s making light of the grave situation, and for once, it was desperately welcome, as if there wasn’t enough firepower to wipe out the dinosaurs four times over only inches away. 

“We’re not in the clear yet, Johnny.” Ghost corrected, hearing the chopping of a helicopter only moments away. 

It was almost impossible to see the helicopter as it lowered to the ground, blinding spotlight and black hull paint made it seem like you were about to get abducted by aliens. Behind you, Price and Ghost were tightening straps and aligning hooks to give the cargo its best shot at surviving the trip to the bunker. The boys already knew the drill, efficiently aligning and preparing the container in a manner similar to ants bringing resources back to the colony. The rapport these men have built over the years made them function like a well-oiled machine. For them, there was no need for instruction or direction; instead, they filled up the insufferable cold with observations from the recent combat encounter and their satisfaction with the accuracy of their marks. 

Unfortunately for you, you were not a part of their hivemind, connecting only a moment too late that they were heading to take their seats in the open-air fuselage of the helicopter. The smell of fuel and raw metal was heavy on your senses, hopping to sit on the elevated floor of the helo, swinging your legs to rise and stand upright. Poor Gaz’s face said it all, his eyes creasing in discomfort as he settled himself into his seat while you took the one opposite to him. Senses still alight with tension and energy, the winding start of the engine humming to life made your heart skip. Within seconds, that low whirr became a thunderous roar. Feeling the weight under you increase, watching the ground from the helicopter's open door as it drifted away. A sense of peace settles over you as the booming engine roaring creates a calming white-noise effect, forcing any thoughts to be drowned out by its blaring. 

It took you a second to understand what Price was gesturing at, waving his hands next to his head and pointing behind you. Still sparking with anxiety, you spun around anxiously to see no enemy crouching behind you in your seat. In the turn, you identified a pair of pale green noise-cancelling headphones with a microphone attached. Slipping them on, the roaring engine hushed and disconnected voices of your comrades' mouths finally matched up, and their conversations became legible. 

“Good shit, boys,” Graves’ voice crackled through the headphones. 

“You had us on the edge of our seats for a while there,” Laswell added, “Excellent work. All of you.” 

“Now we gotta’ tuck n’ roll out of here. When we get to the base, we have 20 minutes to be on the tarmac like we were never here. Understood?” Graves ordered. 

“Yes sir.” all of the diligent soldiers responded unanimously. 

A moment of silence offered a break for you to ask a nagging question that had tugged at you since the second you noticed the warheads. 

“Where are they taking them?” You asked meekly, swallowing your nerves before continuing, “The… tools.”

“Submarine off the coast of Nunavut in Canada. They store a lot of our nuclear. They’re NATO property now.” Laswell spoke up on behalf of everyone. 

The answer satisfied your nerves, comfortable that the weapons you unearthed wouldn’t be used to rain hellfire anytime soon. More silence fell over the team, and you took the welcome opportunity to rest the back of your head on your seatback, drinking in the darkness from closing your eyes. What you wouldn’t do to be back home in a long, warm bubble bath, with a glass of white wine and at least a dozen scented candles. Soon enough. However, Ghost was right; you aren’t in the clear until you’re on home turf. You’ll have to settle for imaginary self-care until you’re out of the woods for good, hopefully sooner rather than later. 

“How’s the leg?” You spoke, tilting your chin to Gaz. 

“Well,” he shifted his leg to show the medical tape holding it closed, “it’ll have to get a few stitches when I’m back on solid ground.”

“He’s probably more worried about the helicopter,” Soap barked out a laugh.

The meaning of the quip was lost on you, which must have been evident in your expression as Price spoke up to clarify. 

“Gaz doesn’t have the best track record with helicopters.”

“He fell out of one once,” Soap spoke up, face alight with a shit-eating smile. 

“Twice, if I remember correctly,” Ghost added, eliciting another barking laugh from Soap. 

“Yeah, yeah, keep talking, and you’ll be doing the same,” Gaz pestered in response. 

Your face contorted into a concerned yet polite grin, shrugging off the dozens of questions that rattled in your mind. The boys carried on their seemingly endless banter as you ran a simulation of everything you needed to do to prepare to leave the bunker that was approaching the helicopter’s view. As the ground rose to meet you, the next task was to grab everything important and have it in a bag outside. Not that you brought anything important anyway. 

Getting away from those hideous linoleum floors was a blessing. This tacky, sparsely furnished and definitely mouldy bunker has seen better days, and you were excited to get the musty smell out of your nostrils. With everything snugly packed in your duffle bag, one last sweep over the pathetic living quarters left you excited to be in your home bed, to say the least. Clicking shut the faux wood door for the last time, you followed towards voices in the common room, just down the hall. 

Passing the never-before-seen hallway leading to where the boys slept, a short space for four cubicle rooms that were actually designed to be bedrooms, you spotted a unique opportunity. Hunched over his bed, you observed Ghost neatly and agonizingly precisely folding a tee shirt into delicate sections. Creasing it with the side of his hand, he created measured lines of perfect 90-degree angles. A small stack of other shirts and garments to match showed he had been at this since he arrived. The absurdity struck you. Forty minutes ago, he was blasting holes in people’s heads. Now, he’s spending his free time delicately folding every clothing item into perfect rectangles. Craning your neck to see the others’ rooms, you saw the same diligent military-style bedsheet folding, save for Ghost’s, whose was particularly immaculate. 

You took the opportunity to leave before you had another insufferable encounter like the one a few days ago in the gym. A snickering smile crossed your lips, stowing this memory away as it could be fuel for future pestering. Rounding the corner into the common room for hopefully the last time, you met the rest of the crew, discussing the details of the mission and entering midway through a passionate conversation. 

“-Yeah, that was the guy that nicked Gaz. I saw Price at my four and missed the guy dead in front of me.” Soap laughed, slapping the back of his hand on Price’s bicep. 

“That’ll learn ya’,” He retorted, crossing his arms over his chest.

“Our next mission better be somewhere warm,” Gaz spoke up, “This is what, our third mission in the fucking cold? Laswell better have a task for us in Hawaii or something by now…”

“I just want to be somewhere I don’t have to worry if my balls’ll freeze off,” Soap added, noticing your presence, “...Sorry, Grant.” 

You shrugged in response, waving your hand and dismissing their concern. That familiar masked face rounded the corner, encouraging you to sling your duffle bag over your shoulder in the expectation of leaving. His body eclipsed the doorframe, creating an unwelcome edge to the conversation like a wild animal had just walked next to your campsite, and you were making discrete and deliberate movements to dodge its interest. Moments passed, and he went to sit beside Gaz to discuss God knows what. It could be anything from cleanliness techniques to how best to blast someone’s head off from 100 meters away. 

“Can’t wait to get home and have a pint, Fuck, I deserve it.” Price sighed, tilting his head back in thought.

“I don’t know why you’re celebrating. I’m the one that did the hard work,” You chirped, a wicked grin crossing your lips. 

Before more chaos got to ensue after you dropped that metaphorical, though relevant, bombshell, you slipped away. Hearing footsteps behind you, you slinked into a maintenance closet, slowly and patiently winding the door handle shut so as not to make an audible click. Your heart thrummed in your chest, wide eyes drinking in any scraps of visible light in the pitch-dark closet. The door could fling open any second, and some cruel fate could befall you. Maybe thrown into a snowbank or dumped into the frigid lake. Or worse yet, more rucking. Jogging footsteps pounded past, likely going to check for you in the other closet, which was your makeshift bedroom. 

Opportunity struck. Winding the doorknob, you cringed as the door made a low groan as it eased open. Redirecting the stored adrenaline from your hidey-hole in the closet, you steadily crept to the exit door, only feet away. Whipping your head to check for footsteps, more hooting laughter from the other side of the compound said they were coming your way. On bounding, featherlight footsteps, you crossed to the other side of the hallway, pushing open the latch bar with your elbow and slipping the door closed with your fingertips. 

There was more frigid air, but this time, it was welcome. Having escaped your second life-or-death situation of the day, your boots crunched over thick snow, seeing Laswell and Graves expedite the warheads being placed in what looked like a lead-lined container. Their voices came into earshot as you approached, their chatter with the pilot concluding. A second plane came into view, dwarfed by the larger one. The smaller one would clearly be the one transporting the ‘hot potato,’ as Graves once put it. Angular wings and inky matte paint said that this thing was built to fly under the radar of anyone who would be looking for it- and people would soon be looking for it. 

A sideways head-tilt from Graves indicated that the larger plane was your ride, swinging your pack to rest in a hanging mesh net over the seating area. The two continued their dialogue outside the plane, carrying on about where they could rendezvous to debrief in the next few days. Rubber boots thrumming against the industrial metal fuselage of the plane, you took a moment to dissect your surroundings. This wasn't a commercial plane, far from it. Though the make and model were foreign to you, the shape of the wings and sleek design said that it was designed with one key purpose: Speed. It felt nice to be treated with a speedy ride home. Laswell has a way of always knowing what you’d need before you even knew it. 

Numb joints are set aflame with discomfort, making their irritation known as you settle yourself down to assume your position on the bench of seats. The distant chatter and motion from outside the plane grew louder, hearing the familiar brassy tones of your comrades as you picked at your nails in anticipation. Gaz poked his head around the corner, and you greeted him with a tight-lipped smile, pulling your harness over your head and clipping you into place. Partially to prepare to leave, partially so they couldn’t toss you into the snowbank without a bit of a fight. 

“She’s in here,” He called out, tossing his bag and climbing with a groan into the plane cabin. 

“Snitch,” You uttered, catching a smile from him as he chucked his bag into the mesh hammock. 

Gaz had a grace to the way he walked, even when he was injured. If you didn’t know he had an inch-deep gash in his thigh and maybe ignored a couple of winges, you’d never know he was wounded. It must be a consequence of the job; these boys probably see injuries twice as severe every other week. The rest of the task force approached in due time as you heard the tail end of Ghost's thick accent saying something about an ‘old geezer.’

Seeing the jet carrying the warheads disappear into the horizon, blinking in disbelief at its pace's sheer speed and silence. Satisfied at the rate of the weapons’ proximity from your person fading, you listened as the remaining three teammates arranged themselves for another flight. With that, you were in motion, taking advantage of a cleared space of concrete and clipping the trees with the landing gear as you reached liftoff. It didn’t take long for all traces of your existence to be wiped from the compound, just as a delicate snowfall started to flurry in the early morning darkness. 

“Alright folks,” Laswell sighed into the microphone from the cockpit cabin, creating a short staticky rumble of feedback from her breath “We touch down in Alaska, then go our separate ways.”

From an estimation of the distance from flight logs you had read once, you gauged that you could be in for an eight-hour flight before you’re in friendly territory. Six with the make of this plane. Could be five if weather permits. Precious seconds before you’re back in the comfort of a bed that your tepid muscles pleaded for. Your mind was a tangled mess of unwrapping the last few hours. First, to what show you’d catch up on when you get home, then how close you were to freezing to death, and again, what you’ll bring home for your neighbour who took care of your goldfish. Luckily, you had a few hours to digest these thoughts before they’re put into practice in your home state. 

“Earth to Luaaa… Calling Miss Graaant,” Soap’s voice cut into your conscience, snapping you out of your daze, “Welcome back. Hey, we’ve decided on your callsign. There’s no talking your way out of it this time.”

Master List

[hajihiko]

I haven’t slept in the last 19 hours HAJI (YOU🫵) WHAT CROSSOVERS OF DANGANRONPA AND YOUR FAVORITE MEDIA/FANDOM WOULD YOU DO AND COULD IT BECOME LEGIT IF EVER GIVEN THE CHANCE

Thank you and have a nice (early) talky tuesday :)

See that's kinda hard BC most media can fit on with a Battle Royale, but I definitely could not assign a Stand to every DR character. There's so many DR characters.

Oh but existing Stands, hmmm ...

Impostor: Yellow Temperance, somewhat obviously

A sticky, rubbery mass bound to and encasing his body which consumes any other organic substance it comes in contact with. The Stand defends him from all forms of brute force and allows him to effectively impersonate others.

TeruTeru: Pearl Jam, also obviously. He seems like more of a healer/support player than a fighter anyway.

A swarm of vegetable-like creatures that infuse themselves into the user's dishes, and increase the healing potency of the dishes to supernatural levels. Supposedly people with split stands have some Issues??

Mahiru: I wanted to say Hermit Purple but I dont think she has it in her to smash cameras....Atom Heart Father it is.

Atom Heart Father is bound to a Polaroid camera which takes pictures with several extraordinary properties. The user essentially lives within the camera but can interact with the subjects of the photos taken with it. Anything that happens within a photograph is reflected on the real life subjects. The photographs cannot be destroyed to stop the power because the damage to the pictures will be transferred as equivalent wounds to those depicted inside. Secondly, everything inside the photo becomes an effectively isolated space defined by the frame of the photographs. While people inside trying to get out will find themselves bumping into an unbreakable and invisible wall, people outside trying to go inside the photographed space find themselves transported to the other side of the space.

Peko: I mean ... Silver Chariot? It's a sword wielding knight. It's silvery. I think it'd look cool.

It's way too much to explain it's a very fast sword dude

Ibuki: Maybe Echoes? Sound manipulation PLUS .... Heavy metal...get it ....

Echoes ACT1 can write words on any surface or person. If the writing is an onomatopoeia, typically in Katakana letters, a sound related to the onomatopoeia in question is produced. If the writing is a sentence written in Kanji, the words will influence the target's state of mind.

Echoes ACT2 can write an onomatopoeia on any surface. When the sound effect is touched, an effect related to the sound is produced, either affecting the person who touched it or the object which the words are inscribed on.

Echoes ACT3 applies a "freezing" or stopping effect by greatly increasing the weight of its target by punching it. This one is fully sentient which is kind of an anomaly.

Hiyoko: GooGoo Dolls probably. Squishes people like ants

Goo Goo Dolls, has the ability to shrink the size of selected targets within her range to the size of a mouse.

Mikan: so conflicted. Green Day? Crazy Diamond? Metallica?? I wanna say Metallica.

Okay so it's basically iron manipulation but the user usually uses it by creating scissors, knives etc inside of people and cutting them up from the inside

Gundham: dude how sick if it was Scary Monsters

Scary Monsters' main ability is to infect other living beings with a virus which transforms them into dinosaurs, but also allows the user to control them. The user is capable of changing his own body into a dinosaur, either completely or as a hybrid of the two. Being bound to the user's body, Scary Monsters allows them to fight against other Stands and physically damage them with their bare hands. Fossilization; the ability to alter beings transformed by this Stand into a hardened dormant state much like a fossil. 

Nekomaru: had to think a lot buut maybe Bad Company? Hed like train them and have all these formations and moves. Idk.

it's a bunch of toy soldiers with guns and tanks and helicopters that shoot you.

Nagito: Black Sabbath, I think it fits nearly with his whole "I will bring out the true hope!" thing while also not being super overpowered in the wrong circumstances.

Black Sabbath can hide in shadows and is strongest there, but is vulnerable to light. By grabbing someone's shadow, Black Sabbath is able to forcibly drag out their souls, whereas grabbing a potentian stand sser's shadow would drag out their Stand.

Sonia: Love Deluxe because she has super long hair and I think it'd look cool as hell with her aesthetic.

Love Deluxe is attached to the user's hair, enabling it to grow to huge lengths, be used as extra appendages, and can be strong enough to break through walls.

Akane: honestly tbh Magician's Red? It's strong and fiery and detects things, like Akane's enemy senses. Hard to think of a gymnastic Stand..

Huge flaming bird with fire powers. The fire can suffocate a target by burning oxygen, restrain them, and detect Stand energy and breathing.

Kazuichi: Aerosmith! Second best to a rocket is an airplane.

Tiny toy fighter plane that can sense carbon dioxide, as well as shoot a machine gun and drop a bomb.

Fuyuhiko: Sex Pistols?? For gun?? He doesnt really fight much, all we know is he takes pain well.

Six tiny guys who kick bullets around so the shooter never misses, unless the shooter is Guido Mista. They're sentient and split up, so, funky combo.

Chiaki: Atum aka the video game stand, duh

Atum's primary ability allows the user to steal souls from someone who has recognized defeat in a game, for example video games. It can also ask a nearby person's souls a yes or no question which the soul is obliged to answer, unbeknownst to the one being read.

Hajime: shit that's hard. I'm gonna go with Tusk because: truth bullets -> nail bullets, starts off really pathetic and weak and ends up literally dimension-breakingly strong, and uuh I love Johnny lol.

Tusk has four ACTs; first one shoots nail bullets, yes it's gross. Second shoots nail bullets where the hole made from them will seek out the intended target even if they miss. Third creates bullet holes that are also wormholes through time space, and the fourth is basically infinite damage in infinite dimensions, gravity and time defying, like this shit will destroy you.

Wasn’t the thing with the dinosaurs supposed to be about their relative head size? If you shrink them proportionally that doesn’t matter, right?

Why would his powers increase? It’s like how Ant-Man doesn’t lose his strength when he shrinks, but he doesn’t gain superstrength when he changes back.

As for Sue, wow, you really have no good ideas for her, do you? I thought she could already do that, but it just isn’t that useful. Even in the example, she isn’t actually using it for anything, just showing it off.

First, Dr. Doom understands Ben better than Reed does.

Second though, I like how in the first panel, he addresses him as Thing, but in the third one, where the image shows him transformed back, he calls him “Ben Grimm.”

[roach-works]

im tired of godzilla being big. we're done with godzilla being big. every movie he gets bigger. he's like the size of a mountain and it's no fun, he's stomping on people like they're ants, who cares. a tornado could do that. he's not a sickass dragon thing anymore, he's just one more natural disaster. the scale's meaningless.

i want small godzilla now. i want a movie that starts off with the scientists studying godzilla getting mixed up with the scientists who are inventing a shrink ray because maybe there was a fire alarm or something and now godzilla is the size of a fucking toddler and no one can contain him anymore because all their kaiju-sized containment devices are completely the wrong scale. i want to see godzilla loose on the town when he's shorter than a fire hydrant and someone could conceivably fit a cute little doggie vest on him. i want to see a destruction scene lovingly rendered with all the chaos and passion and full-throttle destruction of every other movie but what he's trashed is the inside of a walmart. i want to see him get dragged around on the end of a baby leash. i want to see him victoriously scale a playground slide and then scream his tiny godzilla scream like a little dinosaur teakettle.

the time has come for tiny godzilla. i believe this with my entire soul.

[kingkatsuki]

The last time I tried the shifting methods to dream because I gave up on thinking shifting was real, I had a dream and not only was Bakugo this guy, but he was also really really rude and mean...

And kirishima was in love with me and we were riding onto a dinosaur outside my house..... I haven't had a single bnha dream since, people who control your dreams so well go ahead and tell me what to do, I dare you

Oh my god this little prick. I hate him so much😂

But at least you got Bakugou AND Kirishima. Does this mean you were ant sized if Hopper was there? And omg if you were riding a dinosaur was it a normal sized dinosaur or an ant sized dinosaur.

Needless to say I had no Bakugou dreams last night🥲

Kiss

If ya’ll know me, you know I love rare pairs. Nihlus Kryik/Ashley Williams is a favorite, so here’s a short fic exploring the necessity of kissing turians. 

Nihlus’ plates are the color of rust or dried blood. The dust from a million crushed rose petals, if she’s trying to be poetic. His eyes burn like evergreens under winter snow and are as sharp and pointed as a lance. 

He’s got the newest grade of rifle with mods that are probably illegal to everyone but a spectre. Ashley privately admits she’s jealous. She’d love to take a closer look at Nihlus’ gear. There’s probably more than just his rifle that’s drool worthy. But that would involve having to talk with him. The turian spectre survived nearly being shot in the skull by his former mentor and understandably--at least to Ashley’s mind--he hasn’t been especially talkative since they left Eden Prime. 

Turians are a predatory race. Claws that rend, maws flanked with daggers, tall and naturally armored they remind Ashley of Earth’s long extinct dinosaurs. They even growl and rumble like she imagines a dinosaur might. It’s unnerving to say the least, and while she’s trying to keep an open mind--she swears she is--it’s hard to ignore the giant alien raptor standing five feet away and cleaning his gun. 

Nihlus is  just a person, she reminds herself as she watches him. Just as her grandfather’s mistakes are not her own, so too are the Hierarchy’s decisions not Nihlus’ burden. His people reached the stars while the pyramids were being built in ancient Egypt. In different circumstances, humanity would be awed by turians instead of resentful. 

He must feel her gaze because he lifts his chin ever so slightly to meet her with those pointed eyes. “Something I can help you with?”

The question is polite but there’s a buzz under the spoken words that Ashley thinks is annoyance. She quickly stares down at her own dissembled rifle. Stock and barrel and mods all neatly laid out and ready to be oiled. 

“No Sir,” she says, reaching for a rag.

In her periphery she sees Nihlus watch her a moment longer before focusing back on his own task. His three-fingered hands move with a skill and dexterity she wouldn’t have expected due to the lack of digits. She wonders fleetingly what kind of musical instruments turians can play. Without lips or five fingers they’re probably limited to drums. Maybe tambourines. What else doesn’t require lips or fingers? She thinks of the rain-stick she and her sisters had when they were younger and imagines Nihlus, rigid and stoic, turning the large, hollow tube up and down in front of a rapt turian audience. She sniggers at the image. 

“Something funny?”

The question snaps her back to reality and her head whips up to meet Nihuls’ inscrutable face. Turians aren’t emotive--they’re like biological robots. She hadn’t chuckled that loudly, how good is his hearing?

“Just remembering a conversation with the skipper from earlier,” she lies. 

“Care to share?”

Damn! What’s with this guy? She isn’t bothering him. Is she? Is her very presence annoying him? She’s the gunnery officer, she has just as much right to be down here as he does--more even. Nihlus isn’t Alliance. He’s a guest on this ship, really. 

Deciding that if she’s irritating him with her mere presence she might as well up the ante, she gives him a crocodile smile. “Shepard and I were discussing kissing turians,” she says, lifting a brow. 

That takes him back a moment. His mandibles flap against his face as though he’s in deep thought. “I wouldn’t be opposed,” he says after a moment. “Though considering I’m evaluating Shepard, it wouldn’t be proper to mix work with pleasure.” He crosses his arms, cocking out a hip and staring at her with his left mandible flared. It looks almost like a grin. “Unless you’re offering, Chief Williams?”

Ashley sputters. She hadn’t expected him to call her bluff but like hell she’s going to back down now. Williams girls don’t show weakness--especially to such a  formidable adversary. Her predator's grin slides back into place and she stalks around the table they’re working on, coming to stand directly in front of the smug turian. He’s taller than her by a full foot at least, and his armor adds extra bulk. Ashley ignores the size difference and pushes directly into his personal space. 

“What if I am offering, Spectre Kryik?” She lowers her voice to a smoky whisper and tries to put a smolder into her eyes. God, if her grandfather could hear her now he’d be rolling over in his grave. But she’s making a point, damn it! She won’t be intimidated or pushed around by a turian or any other asshole who isn’t a commanding officer. 

Nihlus lowers his head and when he speaks, his warm breath puffs against her face. “Tempting.” One word filled with more heat and promise than a brushfire. This game is getting dangerous. He’s not stepping away, not laughing it off. Ashley isn’t going to back down either. In this game of chicken or dominance or whatever it’s turned into, she’ll be the victor. 

She doesn’t second guess. She lifts onto her toes and presses her lips against his mouth plates. They aren’t as stiff and immobile as she’s assumed. They have give--almost like thick rubber. She celebrates the near-silent gasp Nihlus exhales but her victory is short-lived. He suddenly wraps his long arms around her, hugging her close and kissing her back as best he can. The tip of his tongue is pressed against her lips and on impulse her own flicks out to meet him. He tastes like black licorice and cherries. Like a warm summer night full of stars and black velvet passion. She cups his face with her hands and their kiss deepens, soft groans faltering in their throats, tongues tangling and her skin heating up as one of his hands moves to cradle the back of her head. 

“Chief?”

 At Alenko’s voice they fly apart. Nihlus resumes cleaning his gun, as though nothing has happened. As if they hadn’t just been making out like horney teenagers. He’s breathing heavier though, and emerald eyes meet hers as she takes a deep breath. She can’t help but grin before walking away. 

She doesn’t look back as she heads over to Alenko, praying her face isn’t flushed. She doesn’t see Nihlus lift his head. Doesn’t see the flared mandible smile or hear the intrigued purr that rumbles in his chest. But she doesn’t need to, because kissing a turian is definitely something she doesn’t mind doing--and won’t mind doing again.  

[animorphsfanfic]

Not sure the overlap between the Animorphs Fandom and creature design enthusiasts, but I guess we'll see.

So I often have random design thoughts for the aliens of the series. For example, my go-to version of Andalites is more deer-like with less emphasis on the human features. My flavor of creature design favors biological plausibility, and the dual torso ribcage of the centaur body type doesn't make a ton of evolutionary sense.

There's this competition between satisfactory creature design and making something as canonical as possible.

I tend to have this rabbit hole I fall into where I'm going through a lot of creature reference, finding something really cool... then weighing cool anatomical feature against canon.

Wouldn't it be cool if Taxxons were bioluminescent like glow worms? Does that violate canon? Or wouldn't a creature that spends much of its life cycle underground not benefit from an ability to generate its own light? What if Taxxons had alternate states like other colonial insects? Soldier Taxxons and worker Taxxons, queens, drones..? They're described as a eusocial hive species, and typically things like ants, bees, molerats have only one breeding female and the rest as non-breeding females. Have we never seen a male Taxxon in the whole series?

The Hork-Bajir were engineered, but I'm still plotting them out like they evolved for their biome. They're mostly described as reptilian, something like a mix of a dinosaur and an arboreal primate. But the dinosaur references led me to wonder about feathers. Or blades in places you'd expect display feathers. They lived in a canyon valley and also what is probably somewhat similar to a cloud forest, and so I have references of tree frogs. Referencing their blades led me to lionfish. The Yeerks tried grafting gills in Book 15, which made me question how they breathe. The presumably warm humid environment of a geothermal forest where all the water was stored in the vegetation... would they breathe through their skin like amphibians? Would they have vestigial gills that the Yeerks thought to surgically modify for Earth's saltwater ocean? (I still say making Hork-Bajir scuba gear would've been easier and more cost-effective.)

I also have no real intention of actually designing the Garatron. I just didn't like the idea of two alien species from disparate planets somehow looking that similar. But Andalites evolved to run at speed on a planet with higher gravity than Earth. I have references for the pneumaticized bones of birds and sauropds. I'm looking at having their spine something between a deer and a cheetah. My head-canon for some of Ax's feats of agility - feats that shock even him - is that every time he morphs, he's resetting his body to Andalite gravity. He's probably significantly lighter than a horse/deer of similar size, but with the muscle mass to propel an animal of that weight.

I'm looking at deep sea snailfish and sea snails for the Yeerks. I have references for bullfrogs, toads, and orangutan for the Gedd.

I don't know, just bored and ranting I guess.

Does anyone have any specific suggestions for anatomical features? Doesn't have to be canonical to the series. I'm just always curious about everyone's "if I were designing this alien" kind of ideas.

[caps-clever-girl]

god marvel did us dirty by having 2 of the people tony could best get along with on the opposing side of the civil war so that they never had any oppertunity to develop what could have been super good friendships and instead just became Immediate Enimies without even really having exchanged more than a scentence or so first

like bucky and tony? would have been fuckin GREAT together. same ‘i am a shit’ sense of humour, Much Mischief bois, used to steve’s patent brand of bullshittery, and very sarcastic. bucky’s a big believer in sticking together and credit where credit is due and accepting help, and is interested in tech. tony kind of has the tech thing, you know, covered - i wanna see tony explaining improvements or ideas for buckys arm and bucky actually following along.

i also wanna see tony stick fridge magnets to that arm and bucky follow up by putting pudding in tony’s pillowcase, or hello kitty magnet’s on the suit’s ass. c’mon giys think of the prank wars.

bucky moving things around in the lab and driving tony fucking bonkers.

discussing hair care

constant comments about how hot the other one is because they are both Massive Flirts and oh god stop. stop guys please.

bucky: you cant stop love sam

sam: bucky no

tony: bucky yes

sam: tony no

bucky: tony yes

i want some reporter trying to one-up them and tony and bucky sharing a Very Specific eye-roll before teaming up to seamlessly oblitterate the guy with the smooth and smart fast-talk, just absolutely bouncing off of eachother.

i want them coming to trust eachother, culminating in bucky letting tony work on and eventually replace his prosthetic arm. unexpectedly, tony repays him by letting him suggest ideas for his suit (and others) and letting him take a deeper look.

i want them bonding over experiences with ptsd, trying to help eachother out with tips for panic attacks and grounding methods. i want them to talk about howard and maria, about how they were good friends with bucky but how howard wasnt the best dad, and about their death, and i want them to bond over their mind-controll experiences.

and scott - come on. that sarcastic little shit? if they’d have met different ways you can fucking garentee that he and tony would have gotten along like a house on fire. i mean:

ah yes, first instinct. lets just have a sit down in an abandoned car. these two tired dumbass/smartass dads could be on SUCH the same wavelength. PLUS THE STARK/PYM RIVALRY???? absolutely DELICIOUS and you cannot tell me that scott wouldnt absolutely delight in it.

hank: tony stark is a bastard and his technology is SHIT

scott: he got me a starbucks yesterday actually i think hes pretty great

hank: you whore

breaking in somewhere together??? iron man 3 tony and scott going balls to the wall to gain access to some dickwad’s secret base? do u send in the 2 master spies? no, u send in the booby trap boy and the catburglar. the Big Brain moments they would have with their cool ass tech and pure Skills sneaking in and also simoultaneously knocking over something very expensive because they are so stupid!!

scott introducing tony to every ant he knows and tony keeps pretending he doesnt give a shit but that one is called ANT-onio Banderas and its nuzzling him oh god babies

these two smart dudes trying in an absolute PANIC over something their kids have done like scrape a knee and the kid listens to twenty minuets of them hyperventilating before going ‘i put a plaster on like quarter of an hour ago, its fine’. tony making something Cool and New and Better Than Pym’s Bullshit Ain’t That Right Langy and scott having a reasonable idea of what it does but still managing to both use it to hide steves shield somewhere dumb and also blow it up ten seconds after shouting ‘hey tones i think i got the hang of this!’ tony and scott working together on a new project, surrounded by paper and plans and bits of wire and covered in dinosaur and princess plasters from all the little electric shocks they keep getting, getting hours deep into conversations about tech and ideas.

ant-sized scott accidentally flipping tony over his shoulder and across the room when tony offered him a finger to shake instead of his hand. tony accidentally smacking a pint-sized scott into a ceiling light.

teaching their kids how to prank the other avengers and how to Suddenly And Conveniently Dissapear afterwards - and to make IMMEDIATE BAMBY EYES if caught. scott basically using tony as a sugar daddy and wanting to get bagels or ice cream or starbucks and whining like a child until tony gives him ten bucks. (scott knowing tony’s preferences by heart and always getting him something too.) the two of them lovestruck by super cool women who can and have handed them their respective asses on multiple occasions. verbally oblitterating anyone who opposes them and also being able to absolutely bullshit their way out of any situation because they are Liars and Good At It.

bonding over the heavy responsibility of using powerful technology for the greater good that they kind of inherited from people they want to live up to but also be better than, and scared of what would happen if that trusted tech fell into the wrong hands. taking that tech and making it theirs and only theirs. concepts of identity. and bonding over wanting to be the best example for their kids and give them everything, and trying to make sure they dont make the same mistakes as they did. i mean, scott understood why tony wasn’t willing to help at first in endgame - sure it fucking killed him, but the most important thing to him is cassie, and he gets that tony doesnt want to risk basically making morgan never exist. if the roles were reversed then could he make the choice? could he face up to the posibility of dooming cassie to get hope and her parents back? like these guys have so much to Talk about. theres a level of insintric understanding that just wasn’t explored.

like look at all the cool shit we could have had, but no, just Outright Hatred.
