#bonus thoughts abt this happening in a modern au

[braemjeorn]

despa x oc thoughts because i feel like it and i need other notifs than pronbots following me

[has very slight connection to my fic sky caverns but underline the slight]

i feel like if despa was going to get entangled in a romance its going to be pygmalion/my fair lady style.

teru who was well travelled, yet hadn't visited meifu

knocked on despa's and basically went for my friends sake, since im going to be her sort of lady-in-waiting i need a crash course in meifu culture, history and language.

heaven forbid i am ignorant of those with my friend's new station as queen

he held out his open palm

she handed him an agreement scroll of her proposed time and day, also the payment offer

its like a revenge of the first time they met and he stares at her and her open palm

"have you been away too long from courtly setting, prince despa? a lady does not handle money directly. especially a princess."

(teru primly said, as she visited a man's house with no chaperone but a horse)

"i respect your intelligence, and i'm willing to pay for your trouble to adjust it to my time."

the most begrudging acceptance of training despa ever gave

it should have been on his terms than hers

internally, he'd like to strangle her in impatience whenever they argue but the amount of sun-gems and freshwater pearls she listed as payment does tankerings to his brain and pockets

she thought him silly and wasted too many breaths on exasperated sighs while he lectured

he tried to call in sick one time - his wrinkles appeared

she treathened to reduce the payment (less amount of pearls would be more tolerable but diamonds!? really now!?)

or play jumpropes with his pearls

"oh fine! you blasted woman!"

"there's my handsome teacher!"

"handso—?"

"can we learn about the sewers today?"

"...what is it about you women and sewers!?"

teru drags him outside and everywhere for practical education

despa grumbles through their entire walk

and yet...

[he let her play with the feathers of his sun hat and be distracted with the gleaming, ruby red of her hair under sunlight as they walked through the field

hardly aware how she admired (and approve of) his side profile and brows while he was deep in book browsing]

but of course they'd fight over tea again later that day

because teru abhores whipped cream and despa could not stand foul words against his shortcake

"says the person who drowns their muffins in jams!"

"at least jam made up its mind in solidity!"

[scaly-freaks]

Please don’t think Im weird but I couldn’t stop thinking abt that dark au and I just decided to make a Pinterest board for it. This is just my interpretation of them and the vibe the au gave me, or rather just what I made of the little crumbs that you gave us. Im never good at describing how I feel abt certain things per text (english is not my first language so I do apologize for any mistakes) so I thought why not through Pinterest?

I really like your storys bc they are just kind of rough? idk how to explain it im sorry💀

https://pin.it/1BfgwtKge 🦅🫶

I don't think you're weird at all wtf this is so sweet, I'll literally tear up right now :(

And OH my god, the pinterest is divided into three sections, the title of the AU looks so cool now that I see it outside of myself and?!?!?!? The fucking PINS???? You get this AU, you really do. You fully GET IT. I'm going to come back to this whenever I think about this one and potentially make it a future modern AU for once the current medieval one is done (and maybe after the uproar around s2 has calmed a little). Also I understand you perfectly, I also agree my stories have a bit of that rough edge that can often make you wanna claw your eyes out sometimes (which is ironically what I like to read too so I'm on the right track hehe)

These ones were my particular favs :')

Also BONUS (not to get morbid but tw for non-con here) but I can totally see this scenario happening, with him basically putting her in that position and her burying her face in the cat's fur to block it out. s

[smaller-comfort]

heyo!! it’s me, nonny mouse again (i guess one could say nonny rabbit?)

i saw one of the prev asks abt kinktober, namely @neoyi’s one with resh’an having a one-night stand, and thought the following ideas were good stuff:

resh’an has a casual fuck with barma’thazël one day in the Underworld, while they wait for ninja to finally make it to the boss room (bonus points if they get walked in on)

resh’an steps through dimensions looking for someone to take on a one-night-stand, doesn’t find any, and decides to have a little fun with his own puppets

the above, except he DOES find someone to fuck, and its (insert any character you desire)

if i leave the ideas to sit, they’re gonna eat this nonny rabbit.. so i’ve set them loose on the wide world ≈:3

- best wishes, usagii 🐇

Nonny-bun! Yeah, I'm almost certainly going to revisit Barma'thazel/Resh'an at some point, where it's fun for everyone involved. But oh my god, the idea of Ninja making it past all the fucking lava, and the spikes, and the bullshit, just to walk in on The Demon General fucking Some Dude?? Who Looks Kind of Like a Mummy????? When they're supposed to have their final showdown???????? ???? ???????? ?????? Still somehow not the weirdest thing to happen to him today, but still.

Incredible. Meanwhile, back at the Shop, Shopkeeper has the scrying orb set to 'record' and Prophet brought popcorn.

Resh'an clonecest is a fantastic idea! (I may or may not already have an incredibly silly and self indulgent wip where immortal!Resh'an crosses over into my Modern AU universe. It's very unlikely that it will ever see the light of day, but you just reminded me that it exists.)

[m-feys]

OK NEURODIVERGENT GAANG TIME BC I WANNA

these hcs are kinda halfway set in a modern au bc thats my context for this ! (gonna split it up so its not as long bc i drafted the original and it was LONG) water tribe siblings first !!!

Sokka

adhd/autism king 😌

[ID: a screenshot of Sokka standing on a raised stone platform with a map of the Fire nation hanging behind him. He’s holding his arms stiffly by his side with a wide-eyed look on his face, brows raised as he has his mouth open, saying something. End ID.]

- schedules to survive, he likes to know what hes getting into and if you try to change plans on him without warning he’ll be very resistant

- smart kid who doesnt study, oh he tries, oh boy does he try, he ends up reading the same sentence over and over until he gets distracted by drawing something, working on the blueprint for his latest invention, or with researching something completely unrelated to what he’s mean to be studying. then he tosses and turns all night because he’s stressed by not having studied, but when he actually takes the test he makes a 105, despite there not even being a bonus question, he just answered the essay question so well the teacher gave him an extra 5 points

- special interests?? we got em!!! classic weaponry (think swords, boomerangs, but also, like canons and catapults and shit) engineering/physics, art/drawing, strategy games. he tends to hyperfocus within his special interests, so like for a week he was hellbent on building his own full sized trebuchet, much to the dismay of Gran Gran who just wanted to grow her tomatoes without them being crushed by said full size trebuchet

- (also he plays all types of games probably, but he def plays those ones where you take over the world, like the ones online and azula also plays them too and they end up being rivals, while not actually knowing who the other is outside of their usernames)

- he also talks a lot in his classes/is like the ‘class clown’ and ppl think this is him not focusing but engaging this way actually helps him focus way more than sitting silently, a lot of teachers dont understand it but the ones who do are actually paying attention and realize that he’s generally talking/joking about their current topic

- some observations (this shit is all canon babey!!!) - sokka is great at being a leader and communicating in groups he’s in but he really really struggles in front of crowds, one-on-one and sokka can talk well, joke and stuff but as soon as he’s separate from other people and everyone is just listening he clams up (solar eclipse pt 1). he also loves to joke and make people laugh, and a lot of the time he misinterprets stuff because he’s autistic but he also will realize this and do it anyway because he thinks it’s funny and he likes laughing with his friends (idk if this happens in canon but i do this and sokka does too bc i said so :^). He also takes up the protector/comforting role but despite his best intentions he can sometimes say insensitive stuff and not even realize what he’s done to upset people (when he happily told aang ‘the whole world thinks your dead!’) works best when he feels needed, if he feels unnecessary or like something doesnt matter he struggles to complete it (i feel like the beginning of sokka’s master rlly demonstrates what i mean here), and this goes both ways, he will put too much value into certain things that he cares about and can get his priorities mixed if he’s focused too much on what he believes matters more than what might be most pressing (zuko destroyed his suki sculpture, oh right bc he was attacking aang)

Katara

she also has adhd/autism, (so do both Hakoda and Kya 💙)

[ID: a screenshot of Katara, Hakoda, Sokka, and Bato. Hakoda has his hand on Katara’s shoulder as they both look at Bato who is saying something, she has curious look on her face with her brows raised, while Hakoda looks exasperated. Sokka beside him his also looking curiously up at Bato, with one brow raised and the other furrowed. Bato has a neutral expression on his face as he speaks. End ID.]

- palms sweaty thoughts spaghetti, she tries to be practical bc she thinks someone needs to be but really her brain is like a runaway train, she sees something that needs doing and is like, guess ill do that now! and drops whatever she was doing first. she can get very anxious because of this because all the thing that need doing start to pile up because theyre all in her brain at once. that and as much as she tries to be practical she’s very impulsive, getting help from other people really helps alleviate this stuff

- interacting w ppl, when she was only part of her own smaller community she had a lot less toll on her, bc she knew everyone and was used to them, as she meets more people she gets really frustrated with how many people seem to refuse to say what they really mean. Katara is very straightforward herself and she says what she means, so even tho she gets more and more perceptive when interacting with new people, she resents how much she has to work just to decipher what people really mean half the time.

- caring for ppl, with people she cares about communicating is much easier bc she knows them, so she’s very open about her feelings around these people, and she can be hyper empathetic at times, but then sometimes she will say SUPER insensitive stuff off the cuff because she’s just very impulsive and she might regret it after the fact but she really struggles with apologizing because being wrong makes her feel like ppl are going to reject her

- perceptions, she knows what’s expected of her by the world, but she really rejects the idea that she has to stay in her role. still, she has internalized a lot of these expectations and tries to perform them, even when she sometimes struggles. beyond herself, she’s very certain about what she knows is wrong and has a strong moral code, she sees something wrong and she wants to fix it.

- she’s awful in school, not because she’s not smart, but she’s smart in ways that society does not appreciate. she doesnt care at all about all the worksheets and math she’s never gonna use, and all the history that got distorted, she’s much better at learning stuff on her own and she will go on deep dives of subjects she cares about and is super knowledgeable abt them.

He has a slight grin on his face with his mouth open to speak, eyebrows raised and looking at the viewer calmly. He’s wearing his usual blue tunic with the Earth Rumble XI belt along with his earth kingdom bag hanging across his chest. The text on the image says, “This post made by ADHD Sokka gang. End ID.]

[ID: a cropped screenshot of Hakoda, he has a serious expression on his face as he looks ahead. The text on the post reads, “This post made by ADHD Hakoda gang.” End ID.]

cassianbodhi

unfortunate backstory for this message is me pleading u to send it to me so i can dump my hcs somewhere but lets disregard that for now

1- Who is the most affectionate? !! i feel like probably bodhi bc cassian is a little bit distant from affection at first bc everyone hes ever loved has gone in some way or another but they’re both pretty gd touch starved at this point so there is so much snuggling and eventually cassian warms up to pda a little bit more2-Big spoon/Little spoon? bodhi is almost always the big spoon even tho he’s 2″ shorter than cass bc he likes to be comforting and wrap himself around him. jetpack ur bros3-Most common argument? both of them are.. kinda bad when it comes to self worth n personal love and all that so if they ever argue its kinda along the lines of “cassian jeron andor listen to me you are so worthwile and important and i love you” or one of them being very reckless on a mission and the other getting angry 4-Favorite non-sexual activity? they like playing cards together, and sometimes cassian reads before bed and bodhi wiggles up to lay next to him and read over his shoulder spooned behind him5-Who is most likely to carry the other? cassian ends up carrying bodhi to bed a lot because he’ll just not sleep for a while and then pass the hell out in the middle of the mess hall and cassians like.. well here we go again and hauls him off to bed6-What is their favorite feature of their partner’s? bodhi’s favorite thing about cassian: all of his jackets but also his Smilecassian’s favorite thing abt bodhi: his hair ?? its amazing he has a Thing for bodhis hair 7-What’s the first thing that changes when they realize they have feelings for the other? well im feelin like bodhi realizes hes kinda in love w cassian some time after scarif and then just spur of the moment kisses him? so thats the main first change is bam okay they’re kissing now8-Nicknames? & if so, how did they originate? someone i follow uses Bode as a nickname for bodhi which i think is hella cute in like a modern au or smth. bodhi calls cassian Cass a lot just as a quick abbreviation but also captain and sometimes other people call bodhi “your pilot” around cassian and he accidentally picked that up9-Who worries the most? its bodhi no question10-Who remembers what the other one always orders at a restaurant? bodhi has a notebook full of things he needs to remember that he keeps in his bag or pocket at all times and it includes cassian’s standard coffee and food orders just in case11-Who tops? you fools... the strict top/bottom dichotomy is oppressing us all.. 12-Who initiates kisses? already answered13-Who reaches for the other’s hand first? bodhi is the #1 hand holding champion of the resistance so he’s into that 14-Who kisses the hardest? depends on the situation i think, after a mission they do have some intense “oh my god we made it out holy shit i love you so much” kisses, or sometimes if cassian has to do a mission w/o bodhi (or vice versa) they can barely make it out of the ship before the other is over there kissin them15-Who wakes up first? cassian is a really oddly early riser when he doesnt need to be and sometimes for meetings. plus he wakes up early w nightmares and stuff sometimes and likes to just lay in bed w bodhi there until he calms down16-Who wants to stay in bed just a little longer? both of them i think.. bodhi Never wants to get up bc in the empire they were pretty strict abt that stuff 17-Who says I love you first? already answered18-Who leaves little notes in the other’s one lunch? (Bonus: what does it usually say?) ok im talkin abt my college au here bc im uncontrollable but like. some days cassian has classes and bodhi doesn’t and bodhi makes him lunch every once in a while before test days or whatever and he always puts in a little note that’s like “you’ve got this!! i believe in you!! you can’t have your zepplin shirt back until you focus and do your readings tonight 19-Who tells their family/friends about their relationship first? assuming we’re going w a modern au in which either of them has family to speak of, i’d say bodhi in his weekly call to his mom to chat he’s like “hey mom i have a boyfriend!! he’s cute and has nice hair but he’s bad at making jokes”20-What do their family/friends think of their relationship? bodhi’s mom is totally fine w it and so is his sister, cassian’s parents are kinda weird abt it at first but mostly bc his last relationship was really weird so they’d question it no matter who he was dating. but, they trust this bodhi kid and think if anyone has to date cassian it should be them21-Who is more likely to start dancing with the other? bodhi doesn’t think hes a good dancer.. at all but he’s fairly ok but cassian is.... a really good dancer and this is totally inspired by the film dirty dancing havana nights which i still havent seen but he’s a good dancer but doesnt dance much so bodhi’s really surprised but then some nights they sneak into the mess hall when they can’t sleep and they dance because its good for emotional release and theres space down there

22-Who cooks more/who is better at cooking? theyre both pretty good cooks but cassian cooks more bc it reminds him of what little he remembers of home23-Who comes up with cheesy pick up lines? bodhi googles them because he thinks hes funny and he keeps them in his notebook24-Who whispers inappropriate things in the other’s ear during inappropriate times?25-Who needs more assurance? both of them rlly? like bodhi’s been thru some shit and so has cassian and theyre both kinda insecure and not the best at positivity abt themselves so they both need a lot of reassurance abt things26-What would be their theme song? hmmm either in our bedroom after the war by stars, or you are a runner and i am my fathers son by wolf parade27-Who would sing to their child back to sleep? cassian definitely..28-What do they do when they’re away from each other? they try to keep busy but they definitely send transmissions as much as possible to keep in touch29-one headcanon about this OTP that breaks your heart. yknow. what happens in canon is enough for me lol30-one headcanon about this OTP that mends it. they have a lot of rituals after scarif for when one or both of them can’t sleep for any number of reasons, sometimes they’ll sneak out to this big hill near the base and look at the stars, or they’ll play cards (bodhi’s teaching cassian some tricks, but cass is fairly sure they arent good tricks and theyre making him lose), or cassian will tell bodhi about galactic history and run his fingers through his hair until eventually the sun rises or they fall back asleep
