[emyn-arnens]

trick or treat, please! 🎃

Happy Halloween!! 🧡🎃 Post-war Éowyn headcanons for you!

Éowyn first learns how to garden from Sam (I have to thank @starry-mantle for this one). They often send seeds and seedlings to each other.

During her time in the Houses of Healing, Éowyn learns from Ioreth how to dry herbs and prepare them for various remedies.

During Théoden's funeral, Éowyn asks Elladan and Elrohir if they will stay for a while in Ithilien and teach her what they know of healing. She's heard of Elrond's renowned healing skills and knows that she can likely find no better teachers in the healing arts than his sons.

Éowyn learns from Legolas how to be a good steward of the land, and they consult and work often together in restoring Ithilien. Also Legolas and Éowyn brotp.

She and Merry often trade books and writings on plants and history. After Merry expresses an interest in Rohan's history, she records various significant events from Rohan's history for him. Merry is one of the first people to ever receive a written record of Rohan's history, and he compiles what she gives him into a book on the history of Rohan.

IWTV S2E5 Musings

Long ass note under the cut, but tl;dr Louis & Old Daniel is my new brotp. Armand can't take it away from me. And Armand has a PhD in gaslighting

• The impersonal statements Daniel pointing out. The implanted phrases Armand supposedly gave to Louis. Somehow my mind recalls the "vampire bond" explanation. The way Louis said it in S1 is like he's reading from a book.

• Current Louis knows Santiago's plotting

• Of course Armand is a lame crypto man 😭

• "His methodology is never violent" Oh, Louis

• "Armand preserves my happiness, even when I don't or can't" 🚨

• Louis still likes his coffin lined with a green silk 😭

• Young Daniel acts like a loser. I'm so sorry, I'm trying to take him seriously but he's funny lol

• "You're lonely. You're thrill seeking" Oh he reads him so bad. Why Louis stay with Armand tho?

• Louis and Young Daniel are just saying exactlyyyyy to one another lol

• Louis was agitated when Young Daniel pointed out the use of past tense on Claudia

• Louis is already in suicidal mind set even before Armand comes

• Interesting. The way Louis is reading his thoughts here. As in literal reading. He can't be in Daniel's mind (e.g. seeing what Daniel is seeing), his ability is limited to what Daniel's thinking. And Daniel is not thinking to himself, he just opens the Talamasca recordings right away. Thus Louis can only feel Hesitation from his mind, bu he doesn't know exactly what for

• "You don't have enough to fear from Paris?" On revealing their nature. I knew Louis had the man in the park an Roget. But why does this sound something bigger happened in Paris with the humans?

• "Is it the gremlin or good nurse tonight?" Well, he decided to be both tonight 💀

• "Throw pillow" "Use Claudia just to circle back to Lestat" So rich of him to shade Louis for his guilt over Claudia when he's the one who killed her.

• "It's all coming back" "Paris.." Louis forgets most of Paris?

• "She's calling me" I wonder if Louis is remembering Claudia calling him during her last moments

• No, I don't think Armand expected or waited for Louis to come into the sun like that. But he's definitely MAD because of that

• Armand is on mission to figure out what makes Young Daniel and Lestat interesting to Louis. Because Louis said he's dull

• "An instinct to self-efface" yes, both Daniel and Louis have that

• Armand kept Louis writhing in pain w/o blood for 4 days???

• Not @ Dubai Louis still giving excuses for Armand to Daniel 😭

• Armand calling Lestat. Lestat doesn't know where Louis is. Armand refuses to tell where they are.

• "You try! You were there!" Newfound friends found bickering lol

• "If you want insanity back, if you want to escape this prison of emphaty" Armand really says "Yes, I'm caging you, but you think this is bad? Well, you had it worse with him you wanna go back there??"

• Armand's tone during the coffin scene is very soft, but he's actually making himself clear he's mad MAD. Mad that Louis is trying to goad Lestat back to him again through the interview. Seeing how Louis always fast to reassure Armand with "all I said is trash" about Lestat, this is definitely an old problem to them. It makes me curious what made Louis stay with Armand post-Paris. What happened in Paris exactly? Lestat definitely knows Louis is alive and with Armand, unlike in the books. What has made him stay away? Did Louis pull a Nicki on him in Paris? Edit: wait, what if Armand reaches out to Lestat here is the equivalent of him going to NOLA in TVL and goes "news flash, Louis is actually alive. we were/are together"? Daniel doesn't hear Armand's first sentence to Lestat. and by that time, Louis does know lestat is alive but still numb 🤔 Armand mentions if Louis wants Lestat to chase him again, that's definitely about Lestat coming to Paris after the patricide.

• "All you had to do was ask" he says to the burnt Louis who is in need of his blood. A war flashback to "The silence is cruel. But you're never cruel" but in worse condition.

• Armand, making it clear he is extremely mad at Louis for trying to reach Lestat, that Louis is ungrateful cos he's been treating him better than Lestat, then dangling this channel of communication to Lestat in front of him, making Louis feels bad and coercing him to reassure him again. Armand has a PhD in gaslighting.

• The words from Armand afterwards. Louis certainly knows his answer but well, you can't answer that if you don't want Armand blowing up again.

• Armand only answers Louis back with Maitre once Louis assures him that he will stay with him.

• "I'm a bright young reporter with a point of view" Young Daniel is full of life and optimistic. Stubborn, refusing Armand's words, but they work. Then Louis came, saying it back to him, give him more words to re-find that motivation to live. Give him words to live on.

• Ngl I almost teared up to this scene with Louis and Old Daniel. They're precious as friends.

• To alter and surpress Daniel's memory, Daniel is already under a stage where he's very easy to be influenced and they give more drugs again.

• Old Daniel beeds to stay alive. I want Louis has one (1) friend that call out his and his boyfriend(s)' bullshits 😭

[necroticyuzu]

Thx for tagging me in this fun little "Get to know your Tav/Durge" tag game @falcatamandarina. Was hard to figure out who to write about since I got a fair amount of Tav/Durge's but landed on my current 4th playthrough.

Since I'm new on Tumblr again and still getting to know people I legit have no idea who to tag without feeling like I'm being bothersome. So feel no pressure to join in this tagging game you who got tagged. @tealfling, @the-biggest-soup & @voloslobotomyservice

Name: Tamia Geraldottir

Gender: Female

Pronouns: She/Her

Sexuality: Heterosexual

MBTI: INTJ-A (added this because I find this stuff fun)

O T H E R

Family: Her father Gerald, a Half-Dwarf who managed to woo her traveling mercenary Orc mother Vel who then had her and her younger sister Sarina during their rocky relationship. With their mother mostly traveling only to see her 2-3 times a year if lucky, they were primarily raised by their father. Tamia gets along with their knowledge-loving father while adventure-seeking younger sister Sarina once old enough went to travel with their mother. They also have paternal grandparents Dwarf Grandfather Bendal and Human Grandmother Siv.

Birthplace: Blackgate in Baldur's Gate and where she lived up until her early 20's when she moved to Waterdeep for work.

Job: She's a Record Keeper and Cleric at the Font of Knowledge in Waterdeep in the service of Oghma.

Phobia: Acrophobia that started out mildly as a kid from falling off the roof of her family home to then get worse as she fell out from a giant tower in her late teens.

Guilty pleasure: Reading Smut during work hours when in need of a break from record keeping and with no one around to witness and judge her.

Hobbies: Experimenting with food recipes she finds from different countries with mixed results.

M O R A L S

Alignment: Neutral Good

Sins: Terrible at keeping secrets because they tend to speak first only to realize soon after that "maybe mentioning this sensitive part was not such a good idea?". She has worked on it since she was a kid but every once in a while, she slips up once again.

Virtues: Offer healing to those who are in need of it, share your knowledge with those who wish to learn, and treat others with the same kindness that you wish others to treat you. Take what she offers for granted or abuse it and you'll lose those privileges until proven worthy of it again.

T H I S O R T H A T

Introverted / Extroverted (An Extroverted Introvert)

Organized / Disorganized (Assumed dead if things are in Disarray)

Close minded / Open minded

Calm / Anxious / Restless

Disagreeable / Agreeable

Cautious / Reckless / In between

Patient / Impatient / In between

Outspoken / Reserved

Leader / Follower / Flexible

Empathetic / Unempathetic

Optimist / Pessimist / Realist (With a mix of Optimism)

Traditional / Modern / In between

Hardworking / Lazy ("What do you mean it's already dinner time?")

R E L A T I O N S H I P S

OTP: Ohh sweet Rolan! Tamia had no idea how deep she'd fallen for him until some months after the Netherbrain while she'd been helping him explore every nook and cranny of the tower to then record-keep everything they'd have found together.

Other ships: In an alternative universe that would have been Gale (which is who she romanced in-game)

Brotp: Conversations with Gale about random facts they've both learned through books has been a great activity to keep sane while tadpoled. Karlach's ability to bring out Tamia's more playful self is also a breath of fresh air that she didn't know she needed in life. As for other "tav's" that joined then Yarmaes the Drow Bard has been a great friend and resource for new information to learn from his unusual upbringing alone.

Notp: Lorroakan she'd gladly yeet out the window from the top floor of Ramazith's Tower with no means to save himself from gravity.

Jared Kleinman for the character asks :)

Favorite Thing About Them

Jared is so bad at communicating he reminds me a lot of myself. I have ODD so it’s a little different, but the man is an asshole in the best way possible. He is petty and gives off angry cat energy in both fandom aspects and canon. Also I appreciate that he never acted against Evan even when he had the opportunity and reason to do so, he threatened it but he kept his mouth shut. Real friend right there <3 (I could tell everyone everything! Okay great! You go ahead! Do that! Tell everyone how you helped write emails pretending to be a kid who killed himself! Fuck you Evan!)

Least Favorite Thing About Them

He doesn’t have enough screen time/show time. People mischaracterize him because his entire character is shoved into as little time as possible. I know I just said that I love how he’s an asshole but he’s more than an asshole. He’s so clearly lonely and more than just an angry kid. At least in the book they made him “hot” in the end but the show and movie pretty much get rid of him come act two

Favorite Line

Kinky!

Just kidding

Asshole!

Okay okay for real this time

Yeah I hate to tell you this Evan, but you may have already perjured yourself.

Isn’t that only when you’re under oath? Like in a courtroom?

Well weren’t you under oath? In a way?

No.

Or from the movie (since I view them as different canons)

Connor took a letter from me. It was an assignment for my therapist.

Ew.

(I’d offer a different line but Jared doesn’t have that many)

BROTP

Jared and Zoe friendship!!! They hate each other they’re best friends they get drunk and cry together!!

Another excerpt of my own writing that explains this. Again my writing quality has gone up since this but oh well:

Connor rolled his eyes, "I'm saying that Evan will always be there, okay? You are so fucking stubborn, and I'm trying to be nice and make you feel better, just say thank you like a decent human being."

"You just made me feel shitty."

Connor threw his hands up, "Fuck! You're impossible!"

Zoe's voice screeched from below, "FUCK OFF! HE IS MY BEST FRIEND!"

— I don’t know what I want, but I need you. Chapter 12

OTP

Either kleinsen or kleinphy. They both have potential. All my kleinsen fics are really fluffy (soulmates, hurt/comfort, etc) and my kleinphy fics are like…rough and angsty (teen parenthood, child abuse, etc) I like both equally, but what I want to read depends on the content I’m looking for as shown by my own writing style

NOTP

Nothing icky like the parents being involved obviously, otherwise Jared/Zoe fics just don’t feel right. Jared is gay. Like he has to be. The book tried telling me he liked boobs and I know Val Emmich lied. Evan was simping at the end for a reason. Jared doesn’t even have to like Evan the man is still gay. Best part of the movie but dear god at what cost? (I did like the movie I swear)

Random Headcannon

Jared has two moms, or his mother is bisexual. I tried writing him with straight parents and every single time it feels kind of wrong

Also he has a cat. Her name is Mayonnaise. Mayo for short.

Unpopular Opinion

Idk if this is unpopular or not but I’m glad they cut Goin’ Viral. It only pushes the he’s an asshole idea and even though I love the song it wouldn’t have helped his characterization. I would have liked for them to properly record the song when they released the deluxe album but apparently Disappear Pt. 2: the duet version was more important.

Also Jared Goldsmith was my favorite Jared actor other than Will Roland. Nothing can beat the Will Roland vibes

Book Jared shouldn’t have ditched his glasses and got buff, they made him too powerful. Evan couldn’t help but fall for him. Let him stay as he is don’t make him conventionally attractive!

Song I Associate With Them

Jared is such a complicated guy. His feelings are deep. He’s cringy but free. I haven’t thought about this in a while hang on…

I imagine that Jared is a pop girlie and this gives the desperate for attention vibes that I usually associate with him

And as for his inherently cringey vibes that I usually give him…

I’m not sorry

Favorite Picture Of Them

Again, we have options…

[tokuteasings]

Have any general headcanons for mbjr brotps?

YOU FUCKING KNOW IT BECAUSE I LOVE THEM SO MUCH THAT I CANNOT SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT THEM-

This is going to be centered within MBJR themselves but if you wanna ask about BroTPs outside of MBJR, lemme know~! I can go on and on about these guys and how Aruto basically has tried to adopt them and the YuaNaki brotop and the IkaAruto brotp listen i got so much

Of course, we know Jin and Horobi are close as father and son but Horobi and Ikazuchi are these two absolute adult figures but while Horobi has mostly a level head, Ikazuchi is a bit more brash. He will jump to defend Horobi and Horobi has to physically hold him back. But honestly, these two are these older kindred souls that go out and just sit under a tree and look at the stars and talk philosophical things. Ikaika also tries to get Horobi out of Daybreak Town more and thus, tends to invite him to his workplace and planetarium. Subaru is always happy to see him and even though Horobi is slightly hesitant to get to know Subaru, he warms up to him and basically signed the adoption papers. In return, Horobi reminds Ikazuchi to relax and visits to "check up on him"

Horobi and Naki on the other hand are the two parents of MBJR. They tend to sit in silence most of the time and simply enjoy each other's company and often share books and things of the sort. IT's like a mini book club between them. Because of my headcanons that Horobi knits, he gives Naki a sort of scarf even though they don't need it. It's his silent way of showing that he cares. Naki is Horobi's reminder to take time to himself and relax, to enjoy life and if anything...Naki wants to help Horobi find a "dream" even if it's something small. It's one step at a time. Horobi is also fiercely protective of Naki as is Naki of Horobi and while all of MBJR would shoot Gai on sight, Horobi is rushing to get to his ass first just to stab him.

Ikazuchi and Naki share exactly one (1) brain cell and Naki has it most of the time. Ikazuchi is only allowed to have it because he's planning something that could either cause some sort of chaos or he's driving. He tends to rope Naki into dumb things (like how they tore off Gai's clothing) and records these moments to share in the MBJR group chat or to Aruto and Yua. These two are highly competitive with one another and Ikazuchi triggers Naki's feral brain half of the time. Don't let them play Mario Kart together because they can and will yell at each other. Naki on the other hand, is Ikazuchi's restraint half of the time but because they're being...influenced by Ikaika and Fuwa...sometimes they willingly join Ikazuchi on his escapades. Subaru is roped into this most of the time as well.

Naki and Jin on the other hand is more so Naki is the dotting sort of person who reminds Jin to take care of himself and Jin just replies with this cute, "I know~!" if Horobi is a hands-off but caring parent. Jin visits Naki at A.I.M.S often, just to hang out and chat and sometimes with Yua as well. He brings lunches for the humans and a new book for Naki to read. Compared to sitting in silence, Jin is always sitting in a chair beside Naki just watching them work oro stealing Naki's jacket because, "It's unfair that Naki has all the cool clothing!!!" and honestly, these two trade clothing the most out of all of MBJR.

Ikazuchi and Jin are just begging for trouble. Ikazuchi can restrain himself half of the time but most of the time, these two are egging each other on when it comes to like the dumbest fucking shit. Ikazuchi is bringing out his motorbike? Jin asks how fast he can drive that thing vs his own flying and suddenly you hear Yua being called up because those two got pulled over by some cops. But if anything, Ikazuchi is the person Jin goes to for spontaneous shopping trips. Sure he can ask for Horobi and he often does but Ikazuchi (and his knowledge of human things is better than the other's) knows things that Horobi doesn't and Ika is like friends with a lot of vendors and thus, they warm up to Jin too.

They all have made a "Subaru Protection Squad" because Subaru tends to visit Daybreak often whenever he isn't busy. He's still working out his own Singularity but with Ikazuchi by his side, he's gotten a lot better in understanding it. He went to MBJR to understand more about it and Horobi has basically adopted him. Sometimes Subaru makes deliveries to Naki just for the excuse to hang out with them and Jin is always barging into Subaru's personal space just to tackle him into a hug.

Now that Horobi and Jin have a much healthier relationship, Jin actively calls Horobi his father in public. Horobi also has begun collecting magnets since Jin draws a lot and hangs his drawings on the wall with the said magnets but has this framed picture of all of MBJR (Subaru included) on the wall as well.

[simplyender]

Aaaaaa thank you @fellhellion for tagging me in a get to know u better meme!!! :D!!!!

Three ships: Oh gosh, I'm not much of a shipper, but when I do, I ship HARD.

Entrapdak (Entrapta/Hordak) - Where do I even begin? They're perfect for eachother, the truest sunshine/grumpy ship, evil scientists in love, Entrapta teaching Hordak to have his own identity and that imperfrction is beautiful!! Hordak being somebody Entrapta can really connect to, that understands what she's saying and wants to hear more!! They love being around eachother so much, no wonder Hordak committed fratricide/deicide/patricide for her! Also the height difference and him being a monster and she's a human and just aaaaaaa I KNOW imperfection is beautiful but DAMN is this ship just perfect!!!!

Huntlow (Hunter/Willow) - If I had a nickel for every time I somehow ended up shipping a het-passing ship between a pathetic, menacing-at-first but-really-just-an-angsty-dork clone with an abusive creator with a strong and intelligent woman that struggles with vulnerablity and being othered and has pigtails in a show where the main ship isn't het, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice! Their dynamic makes me so happy!! I love their characters!! They're so cute together!!

Trobed (Troy/Abed) - Fuck it. Trobed time. Can be an OTP AND a BROTP!! I don't even know what to say these guys were made for eachother and I will forever be upset about them being separated. Community movie please just bring them back together again I'm begging. Troys got homing pigeon DNA now he must be compelled to come back PLEASE.

Honorable mention: Brett and Reagan, BROTP. The actual best platonic soulmates I've ever seen. I miss u Inside Job.

First Ever Ship: The furthest back I can remember is Maxie/Courtney (AKA AuthorityShipping) from Pokemon, lol.

Last Song: Blame It On The Goose from the Scott Pilgrim Takes Off soundtrack. It's unreasonably resonant. I love it. Gideon/Gordon doesn't deserve something so beautiful sounding but boy did he get it anyway.

Last Movie: X-men United. MAN was that a blast.

Currently Reading: To Kill a Mockingbird, Mallard: How The 'Blue Streak' Broke the World Steam Speed Record, and The Necromancer: The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel (In Hebrew). I read multiple books at once bc my attention span is weak, which really does not mesh well with being very a slow reader.

Currently Watching: I'm not actually really...In the middle of any series right now? I just finished Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, and I still need to finish catching up on What We Do in the Shadows, as well as Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Haven't watched in forever tho hence why I don't feel they count?

Currently Consuming: I had chummus and shawarma for lunch not too long ago:)

Currently Craving: I am in a constant, endless state of craving a very good steak. Some day I will be able to afford one...Some day.

Tagging @abelle25125 @tangledbeast @spacemiddenzz

i feel really awkward tagging people in these haha, but either way, no pressure.

[goldensmilingbird]

felix and bri (pv) for the ask game?

Thanks!!

First, Felix!

1: sexuality headcanon - demiromantic ace and probably bi.

Also I hc him as a trans guy, and I think he figured out the gender part pretty early, but haven't figured out his sexuality yet, because he never felt attraction before and was never really bothered by it. Then he meets Ladybug, gets to know her and oh. It all starts to come together.

2: otp - Felix/Bridgette, my original otp. I also have a soft spot for Felix/Allan.

3: brotp - Felix and Allegra as childhood friends. Felix and Claude as frenemies. Felix and Allan as the type of friends who just chill together (I think maybe Claude would bring out his Chat side and Allan his Felix side? Anyway I love this trio). And Felix and Plagg as unlikely friends that start out on a really bad note.

4: notp - him and canon Marinette.

5: first headcanon that pops into my head: autistic Felix! Also here is a bunch of random ones:

- he loves vinyl records and later starts collecting them along with books;

- he always brings spare clothes and a first aid kit with him in case of bad luck (and on occasion he used them to help others, too);

- he is almost always cold, even on hot summer day he'll wear long sleeves or several layers of clothes;

- he is sensitive to noise so Allan gifts him a pair of noise-cancelling headphones once, and he doesn't leave home without them since;

- he has a sun allergy (yeah, that's a thing), and Quantics like to joke he is a vampire;

- he uses a cane (as seen here) and he has chronic pain.

6: favorite line from this character: he has none 😔

7: one way in which I relate to this character: his closed off, maybe anxious nature

8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character: uhh that one art where he drops the apple on Mari's/Bri's head I guess

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave? problematic fave!

Now, Bri!

1: sexuality headcanon - bi or pan! I think she would fall in love easily, and a lot of her crushes would be girls, so unlike Felix, she already figured out she's not straight. If Luka and Kagami were in PV-verse, I bet both Felix and Bri would fall for Kagami.

2: otp - Felix/Bridgette and I have soft spot for Bri with girls (Allegra, concept!Alya, Kagami, Chloe)

3: brotp - Bri and her version of Alya as old friends, Bri and Allan as new friends, Bri and Adrien for pv/canon crossovers.

4: notp - uhh, idk? I can't really see Bridrien or Bri/Claude as romantic though.

5: first headcanon that pops into my head - I'm gonna do a bunch again:

- she has ADHD;

- like Felix, she likes collecting stuff, but it's usually stuff like figurines and plushies or cool rocks and trinkets. But most of her money goes on various arts and crafts supplies or gifts for friends;

- she adds pockets to all of her pants/shorts and some of the dresses;

- she loves listening to music while she works/studies and has a bunch of playlists;

- if not music, then doodling also helps her focus;

- her room is always cluttered with clothes and wips and various other things;

- she tried bringing a stray cat home more than once;

- she likes bugs, even those that are considered creepy.

6: favorite line from this character - she has none 😔

7: one way in which I relate to this character: I guess we're both very emotional and can be quite excitable? I'm not as outgoing though

8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character: her running after Felix and missing the cues that he is not interested

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave? cinnamon roll!

[necronatural]

Kim dokja for the ask meme /o/

i got this request 3 times.

favourite thing about them

I can't choose this man has so many layers. The SLAVISH devotion to the concept he cannot be the focus of someone's experience of living really up there, as well as how he is so fucking cringe. Man most deserving of being the protagonist of a tropey webnovel

least favourite thing about him

I think repeated exposure makes even his worst traits endearing. I hHAAAAATTEDDDD him when the novel started but now when I read it i feel so much love.

The qipao and garterbelt thing though

BrOTP

Help. Jung Huiwon I think. She has sooooo much fun being his asskicking right hand she thinks its so funny and awesome. even though she doesnt respect him

and of course han suyeong the way they absolutely ricochet off each other yet are in perfect agreement driving around in an expensive car racking up the $$$ was my favourite moment with them

OTP

dokhyeok -_- juhankim starts picking up later but im missing a lot of context feels so bad...

nOTP

yu sangah. listen he has really fascinating relationships and ways of engaging with people but i would have quit the novel if they went with a choice so painfully straight man pandering

Random Headcanon

In a 'celebrity AU' kim dokja would be a vtuber using vrroid studio default presets with 5 followers who doesn't speak but he's insanely good at the game he plays. sometime he does speedruns on old games no one cares about and constantly hits just shy of world records with his shitty preset vrroid studio model with motion capture from his old android phone.

sorry that isnt a headcanon its just so important that you know this about him. stop making him an idol like in your terrible yaois

Unpopular Opinion

Speaking of idol AUs i think he is done SOOOOOO dirty from cumbrain yaoi fans that came from other webnovel fandoms and it's overtaken it in ways it didn't with MXTX novels despite not being BL which is HEADACHE INDUCING the need to take KIM DOKJA AT FACE VALUE? KIM DOKJA??!???? jail for 1000 years for anyone who comes out of ORV believing the things kim dokja says about himself. like listen kim dokja himself is the kind of person who takes the things he reads at face value it's a part of why he develops such a complex relationship with his rereads he is not a guy that is invested in motivations i shouldn't love him but hate the fandom in a novel innately about the reader and the process of different ways of interpreting a text but holy shit. trying to find what yaoi archetype he fits into is the most darksided way of viewing a text literally i understand how hunger games book fans feel when i see this like leave katniss alone!!!!!!! but its for a slimy webnovel power fantasy protagonist.

favourite picture

funniest guy in the world

[scary-grace]

For the ask game: Bard of Dale! 🤠

thank you for the ask! I'm sorry it took me a few days to get to it, but without further ado and with regard to Bard:

favorite thing about them -- everything? Obviously there's his A+ parenting, but I think my favorite thing about him is how scrappy and resilient he is! Any time an obstacle appears in front of him, he finds a way around it. Guards who are going to check your dwarf-filled barrels? No problem, just pour fish in on top of the dwarves to hide them. Spies watching your house? That's easy, sneak the dwarves in through the toilet. Dragon about to kill you and your longbow's broken? Just DIY a bow using the broken pieces and your son. Nothing keeps him down and I love it.

least favorite thing about them -- if we're going by the movies (and although I've read the book a multitude of times, I definitely go by the movies), the fact that he keeps giving Alfrid the benefit of the doubt or any responsibility at all. I know it's probably supposed to illustrate that he's a good guy and not vindictive and will therefore be a good king, but come on. Nobody would judge him for indulging in a little payback.

favorite line -- "Bain, look at me. You look at me." /cue hideous sobbing/

brOTP -- Bilbo, interestingly enough. I've written them as brothers a few times and it really appeals to me!

OTP -- barduil, of course. *the chorus of white flag by dido plays faintly in the background*

nOTP -- Bard doesn't really get shipped with a lot of people, but I'm certain someone, somewhere, has shipped Bard/Alfrid. No thank you.

random headcanon -- as teenagers, Bard and his friends would portage rafts up the Forest River and run the rapids for fun. Bard holds the record for starting point that's furthest upstream. When he was 19, he launched his raft from just below the Elven Gate.

unpopular opinion -- I call Bard's kids the Bardlets, not the Bardlings. And if I'm writing an AU, he's almost always divorced, not widowed.

song i associate with them -- if we were vampires by Chester See. Warning about this one: Associating this one with Bard (and Barduil) often makes people angry with me. One of my friends messaged me "I hate you" after they listened to it. On a happier note, there's all the doubt in town by eleventyseven.

favorite picture of them -- this is testing my image harvesting skills, but:

the "I know her as well as any man in this town" face.

And this:

send me a character

[azenkii]

Sokka/Suki/Zuko Brotp Headcanons

These three are a god-tier brotp and i'm here to prove it

100% that one friend group who does the stupidest, most impulsive shit but they’re also super nerdy at the same time?

Like they'll be left alone together and you can guarantee that by morning they'll have broken into several heavily guarded government buildings. But like,,they didn't even steal anything important? they just wanted to see if they could find bosco's birth records and figure out why he's a regular bear

The last time they got drunk together they woke up on the Beifongs' roof in librarian's robes with a fully labelled diagram of a nonbending submarine in front of them

Suki and zuko braid each other's hair and sokka got jealous that he couldn't join in so he grew out his hair until it was long enough to braid

Suki teaches zuko how to fight with kyoshi warrior fans and he's absolute shit at it

In return, he teaches her how to fight with dual broadswords and she is not shit at it, which zuko thinks is unfair

all three of them spar together, all the time

sokka’s the unofficial leader of the group

he’s almost always the one who suggests the dumb/smart ideas

suki and zuko are pretty much on the same wavelength as him when it comes to plans so whenever he suggests something it goes like

sokka: so you guys know the new ozai society? well i was thinking about the pipes under the city-

suki: that’s a great plan. dibs on scouting the eastern block, zuko can you-?

zuko, nodding: the night market? on it

no one else can ever eavesdrop on their conversations because they just don’t make sense

the story of their escape from the boiling rock becomes legendary and they make a game out of retelling it. every time someone asks about it they’ll add something new. eventually the story ends up involving a platypus bear named Mai II, Chit Sang’s identical twin, a rope made out of bedsheets and three separate riots

sokka and zuko thought for a solid year that suki didn’t really like drinking because she always ended up relatively sober whenever they went out. turns out she drinks more than both of them combined and she’s just really, really good at holding her liquor

the amount of decrees they’ve passed while drunk is honestly ridiculous. only half of these decrees were cancelled afterwards because the other half actually made sense

suki once genuinely threatened to throw hands with one of zuko’s ministers. her reasoning was ‘he kept making weird faces whenever sokka suggested anything’

sokka and suki once ganged up against zuko. they called it ‘nonbenders solidarity’

zuko retaliated by creating a super-secret best-buds-only handshake with toph and they did it in front of sokka and suki whenever they could. sokka and suki eventually went ‘okay OKAY we GET IT also can you please...teach us the handshake it looks really cool’ and zuko was like ‘hm. no i dont think i will’

he then proceeded to drive them insane by immediately teaching the handshake to everyone he knew. aang? knew it. katara? knew it. mai and ty lee? knew it. every single one of his ministers knew it. the kyoshi warriors knew it (and wouldn’t tell suki). hakoda knew it. iroh knew it. that random regular visitor to iroh’s tea shop knew it.

sokka and suki gave up on ever learning the handshake. exactly one (1) day later zuko and sokka were playing their own modified version of pai sho with suki watching them and then zuko just casually went ‘so now that you’ve given up do you want to learn the handshake’

sokka and suki went FERAL and suki flipped the board

sokka: HOW DID YOU KNOW WE GAVE UP

also sokka, exactly 0.02 seconds later: also yes please teach us the handshake sifu hotman

the handshake is the stupidest most needlessly-complicated thing in the world but they learn it anyway and they don’t stop using it for approximately a month

and oh did i not mention that they made their own version of pai sho? they call it die sho and it features 16 homemade tiles and a set of rules that only suki understands. one game can last anywhere from 2 minutes to 2 days

they once wrote a book together under the pseudonym Wang Kyo-Lee. The book was a 500-page rant about plant husbandry. it became a bestseller in the earth kingdom.

they also once did a role swap for a day. zuko dressed up as a kyoshi warrior/the fire lord’s elite guard (complete with makeup to hide his scar), sokka was acting fire lord, and suki was his water tribe ambassador. that was how they discovered that they worked together so much that their jobs were literally interchangeable

there are rumours that the three of them are involved in a poly relationship. when asked, none of them will give a definitive answer

sometimes they’ll just go on holiday to some random obscure place without telling anyone and come back four days later with a frog, three new swords, a crate of theatre props and a valuable compilation of historical accounts that’s been lost for over a century

the most memorable thing they ever brought back was druk, aka a literal dragon

out of the three of them, suki makes the best tea. however, she’s also the worst cook

sokka learnt how to knit and promptly made them matching scarves. the scarves were ugly af but suki and zuko wore them anyway

when zuko overworks himself sokka and suki will literally manhandle him away from his desk and into his chambers, all while lecturing him as he nods sleepily and dozes on his feet

when suki overworks herself sokka and zuko will bring her tea and wrap her in blankets until she eventually falls asleep

when sokka overworks himself suki and zuko will drag him out somewhere under the open air and just sit with him until he relaxes and falls asleep on one or both of them

they have a running joke where suki and zuko will, in the middle of a discussion, go ‘GODS you remind me of this one guy i met while i was travelling’ and then proceed to describe sokka until he realises they’re talking about him

they all have a very dark sarcastic sense of humour that can honestly be alarming to anyone who doesn’t know them. mai thinks it’s hilarious

suki knows how to juggle. she tries to teach sokka and zuko and they both fail miserably

sokka takes them ice-dodging. sokka (once again) earns the mark of the wise. suki earns the mark of the brave. zuko earns the mark of the trusted. 

(does zuko earning the mark of the trusted make him cry? perhaps)

hakoda takes one look at suki and zuko and immediately goes ‘oh ok youre my children now’

zuko can handle himself pretty well in the cold (breath of fire, remember?) but that doesn’t mean he likes it. sokka and suki constantly tease him about it whenever they visit the south pole

zuko once startled suki while she was sleeping and she accidentally chi blocked him. sokka laughed until he cried

they 100% have heated debates about super niche topics

anyway they’re all bffs who may or may not be dating each other send tweet

Kaiba for the ask game?

👀👀👀👀 oh boy I don’t talk about tall, dark, and brooding very often, do I?

Favorite thing: he’s such a dick and you know what? I respect that. He’s a dick and he knows he’s a dick. He owns it. It’s his brand. And if we’re being serious than I love just how much he loves his little brother. It’s what makes him so likable as a character. Like yeah he’s an asshole but he’s like that because of all the bullshit he had to deal with as a kid and then having to step in to parent Mokuba when he himself still needed a parent.

Least favorite thing: he’s such a dick. I know he has good reason for it, but it makes me want to suplex him. Just go to therapy. Please.

Favorite Line: Nice outfit, dork.

brOTP: he and Mokuba. No for real. Anytime we see Mokuba being an annoying younger brother and Kaiba going into big bro mode I live for it. You can just tell they’re the type of siblings that grow up to be best friends.

OTP: puppyshipping!! As far as I’m concerned, the reason Kaiba fucks with Joey specifically is because he has a big gay crush on him and instead of dealing with those feelings he tries to squash them, but only ends up falling in deeper because his being mean only amplifies Joey’s personality. And Joey’s not the brightest so it takes him forever to realize what’s going on but once he figures it out, he has a field day and becomes 3x more annoying just to get a rise out of Kaiba. I also have a soft spot for flare, pride, and rival shipping

nOTP: Kaiba is gay in my book but I’m not necessarily opposed to shipping him with women. I just don’t think he has chemistry with any of the women we see him interact with

Random Headcanon: he listens to Nickelback, Eminem, and Three Days Grace unironically. He also speedruns games as a hobby because he enjoys the challenge, and holds a few world records. And cats inexplicably love him.

Unpopular Opinion: I wouldn’t call this unpopular, but i don’t see it a lot. I think Kaiba is autistic. Just with his intense feelings towards duel monsters (and bewd special interest) and his strange mannerisms, he just screams autistic at me. But maybe I’m just projecting.

Song I associate with them: Fresh Laundry - Allie X

Favorite picture: anytime @auroblaze draws him!

[crestfallercanyon]

Thank you for such a long answer, i still don't really like Newtmas but i understand your point of few even tho i never saw Thomas liking Newt that much in books,but i respect your opinion and it's nice you reccomend your ibfs ffs, if it was other ship i would probably checked it. Now I wonder what your Minewt long thougts are ?

Hi anon!

I don’t know what ibfs ffs means but I recommend their other work too if you won’t dabble in the newtmas

Minewt long thoughts? I think you better articulate them than me in your other ask you sent me, (which are fabulous by the way don’t worry about “boring” me) but there’s just a lot of checking in that happens there that I think is just… good. I don’t know if I prefer them as a brotp or as lovers, like both just fine, but there is such good potential there. I particularly love it when Newt’s strengths are used to help Minho with his tough challenges (see @un-ah ‘s and for a woman wert thou first created for one example of a peak Minewt au with this dynamic, I also love the mob au with Minewt called Out of the Fire, there’s so much more out there too).

They’re sassy boys, who I think challenge each other but also know when to slow down. They aren’t exactly the iron sharpens iron dynamic I love of Thomally, but they’re… they’re something like it. They’re more runners who know how to set each other’s pace — they know when they need to push the other to keep time and break their record, and they know when to slow down so the other doesn’t hurt themselves. It’s built on trust, it’s built on care, it’s knowing the other is strong independently but together they’re a force.

Thanks for the ask! Hope this satisfies your curiosity 👍👍

[raindrops-and-tubestops]

for the ask character game: Kya or Tenzin 🥰

Oh how about I do Kya? And then after I’ve had time to think over the questions I’ll do Tenzin?

Sexuality HC: we obviously know Kya is a lesbian, thanks to the comics, but I also headcannon her to be demi as well as sapio ( and yes I know there are a lot of people who don’t agree with sapio sexual but I believe in it). She needs not only an emotional connection but also intelligence , she wants to share all the information she’s gathered as she’s traveled, wants to bounce ideas off someone and have a response that’s carefully thought out and concise.

Favorite Ship(s): kyalin is my number one…no surprise if you look at my Tumblr. Although I would mind seeing Kya end up with a really well created OC (there may or may not be a story on my desktop that is in the early stages…I’m working on the OC currently).

Brotp: Bumi and Kya, I feel like they have such a rich history together and of course he’s the big brother that loves his little sister beyond everything.

I also really like the thought of Korra and Kya…there’s so much potential for their relationship. Kya having to overcome the feelings surrounding her father’s passing, but not being able to help love this precocious toddler turned avatar. It’s like a second chance to make her dad proud (or so she thinks).

Notp: any of the younger krew…just doesn’t sit right with me 🙁

Happy HC: Kya keeps extensive notes and journals of all her travels, each having a different topic including Indigenous Medicine, Airbender History/Archaeology, and her personal favorite, LGTBQIA+ accounts from all over the nations. She hopes one day to publish these journals.

Angsty HC: as I said in this post, I believe that Kya suffers from severe anxiety. It seems to be worse when she settles in one place for long periods of time, that’s why she’s constantly moving in her younger years. But when Aang passes and she moves back to the SWT to be with Katara, she comes to the conclusion that she has to find a way to cope with it on a daily basis. She has panic attacks fairly often the first few months after they arrive, Kya and Katara are exhausted emotionally and physically. Her mother suggests some sort of creative outlet, something similar to Katara getting lost in books to quell her own anxiety when she was younger. She takes up morning meditation again (Her dad would be ecstatic) and begins to write when things become too much. She can get lost in a story or recount of a procedure, she makes sure every minute detail is recorded

Random HC: Kya has tattoos (and I know lots of people HC this but you know 🤷🏻‍♀️), but they are all strategically hidden. Only really visible when she wears her bindings while swimming and let’s be honest it’s been a while since she’s done that with her family. There are a select few who know about them. She has a brother/sister tattoo with Bumi, on her inner right bicep; he has a miniature version of Uncle Sokka’s boomerang and she one of Aunt Suki’s fans. It was from the summer they spent training in hand to hand combat on Kyoshi Island. She has the words to an old air nomad prayer tattooed on her ribs from when her father passed away, talking about serenity and how a soul is never truly gone, but whispers constantly through the breeze and the trees. She has the waves of the SWT tribe and a miniature version of her mother’s water pouch under the curve of her left breast, her mother’s culture and lessons always close to her heart. She has one half of Tui and La on her right hip bone, conveniently low enough so it is hidden by her wraps, the other half located on the opposite hip of a certain green-eyed metal. How did they end up with matching tattoos? Well that’s a whole other story…

General Opinion: I love Kya! She is in my top ten characters in the Avatar-verse, I just wish there was more content about JUST her…she is such a complicated yet interesting character. I would read everything and anything about her. She is so much more than what some in the fandom portray her to be.

I wish I had confidence in my writing abilities and thought I could do her justice. I’m trying to research so I can make sure that she is developed with the utmost respect in my story. There needs to be more Kya content.

Len’s Thunderbirds Drabbles
