#brotp: sugar and spice

[kyouka-supremacy]

Hi!! Gin for the ask game?

Yay Gin!!!

Favorite thing about them: Oh man there's not much to talk about in canon outside of the oc I made from them. But I still think they're very cool!! I also find them felling affection for Ryuunosuke to be very sweet, they're the only character in the whole series together with Higuchi who's ever shown to genuinely care about him.

Least favorite thing about them: How they weren't given a personality outside of “Akutagawa's sister”. Like, I love Gin, but being honest, it's more of loving the character I built pretty much from scratch for them in my mind, because canon literally never gave them a personality. Also, I don't like the voice actor choice for them… I don't know if I'm being conservative with this, but I find that kind of hyperfemininity they're depicted having sometimes (their high-pitched voice, the onsen scene in Wan) pretty stereotypical, that taste of “all tough girls deep down actually want to be delicate and femminine” from old medias I don't really vibe with.

Favorite line:

This one, because it's funny, and specifically because it's a non-verbal line. I like the idea of Gin using their sword more than they use their mouth.

brOTP: Look, I'm weak for siblings dynamics. They're always my favourite thing. I don't remember ever having an hyperfixation that didn't include siblings dynamics. I love love love the Gin / Ryuunosuke relationship and could talk about them for days. ALSO the Black Lizard in general I've already talked about them here I care so much about them. I really like tachigin platonically too. And I like Gin's dynamics with Higuchi, I actually like them better platonically.

OTP: I dig everything tachigin, I really like them and the “I'm not who I say I am but you know me better than myself even though you don't know my true identity” deal they have going on. I also like the idea of Gin and Naomi 👀👀👀 talkative gf x gf who's never said a word their whole life. Also my personal crack ship Gin × Paula ThePromisedNeverland

nOTP: ... I don't really dig higu/gin. Higu/gin friends, please forgive me. I just think that starting dating the person your brother has repeatedly abused would be super awkward, and I don't think I really like the idea of Higuchi basically dating Ryuunosuke's sister as rebound guy. Also it's just a thing with me and not being a fan of vanilla / sugar spice and everything nice wlw ships. I do acknowledge they have their fair share of scenes together and that they're perfect to be interpreted romantically!! The latest volume 23 omake especially, it can perfectly be taken as romantic. It's just not something that does it for me, and tbh I like them better with having a kind of sisters dynamics, with Higuchi being this kind of very exuberant and silly self-assigned older sister and Gin who just likes her and enjoys hanging out with her.

Random headcanon: Oh boy, may I introduce you to my Gin brainrot. I really have so many ideas about them. Apart from what I've already mentioned, I really like the idea of them having selective mutism, especially as it's shown in Wan. I don't think they're someone to talk in general. The Akutagawas household must be death silent 24/7 lol.

Unpopular opinion: I just wish people would give them more flaws. I'ver read my fair share of Gin fics, and in all of them they're always this kind of sassy / funny / witty / pretty / confident / charismatic / overall perfect person. As result, I find them quite boring to read, and they particularly pale in comparison to Ryuunosuke; especially since at least for me it's his flaws that make him such a compelling character. I wish we'd extend some of his flaws to Gin too. They're bad at communication and expressing their feelings. They're aggressive and pessimistic. Idk, anything that makes them a little more human.

Song i associate with them: How To World Domination by Neru. Just the overall imaginary it evokes of two siblings close in age fighting together in a world that is both violent and war-ridden, and terribly domestic and mundane. The feeling of being lonely together. Them both fighting to become a better version of themselves, a kinder version of themselves, even, before my heart grows numb from the cold. This song really is one that always evokes the Akutagawa siblings in my mind whenever it comes on shuffle. Also, Re-education by Neru, for similar reasons.

Send me a character?

[princesssarisa]

Character ask: The Robber Girl (The Snow Queen)

No one asked me, I just felt like sharing because I've been thinking about this story lately.

Favorite thing about them: How remarkably complex she is for a fairy tale character, especially a little girl. She's introduced as a savage little brat, in total contrast to the gentle, innocent Gerda. Yet from the start Andersen hints at her better nature, as she saves Gerda from being killed (albeit for selfish reasons, to force her to be her playmate), and her eyes are described as melancholy. We realize that she's a product of her upbringing, as we see her vicious drunkard mother and the un-familial way they treat each other. And of course, she eventually proves her inner goodness by becoming a genuine friend to Gerda and letting her go with the Reindeer. Yet she does this without losing any of her rough-and-tumble demeanor. There are very few characters in children's stories quite like her.

Least favorite thing about them: Her habit of casually threatening to kill Gerda in the earlier part of their acquaintance, and the way she teases the Reindeer with her knife and laughs at his terror. Did Andersen need to give her that much of a sadistic streak?

Three things I have in common with them:

*I'm broad-shouldered and have dark eyes.

*I can sometimes be selfish, but compassionate and caring too.

*I love animals.

Three things I don't have in common with them:

*I'm not a robber.

*I don't sleep with a knife in my hand.

*I don't torture animals for fun.

Favorite line:

This passage as she lets Gerda go, with its blend of rough yet sincere kindness, lingering selfishness, and irreverent humor:

"Here, take back your fur boots, for it's going to be bitter cold. I'll keep your muff, because it's such a pretty one. But your fingers mustn't get cold. Here are my mother's big mittens, which will come right up to your elbows. Pull them on. Now your hands look just like my ugly mother's big paws."

Her words to Kai when she meets him for the first time near the end:

"You're a fine one for gadding about. I'd just like to know whether you deserve to have someone running to the end of the earth for your sake."

From the Faerie Tale Theatre adaptation:

"Fraidy-cats like you give girls a bad name! The forest is no place for sugar and spice and everything nice! If you run with the wolves like me, you gotta be quick as a cricket and brave as a bear!"

"If word gets out I took pity on a city girl, I'll be booted out of the robbers' league for sure!"

brOTP: Gerda.

In crossover-land, I might also like to see her meet Éponine from Les Misérables, since they have a lot in common. Both are the abused daughters of ruthless criminals, both are wild, hardened, amoral girls as a result, both can stand up to a band of armed robbers and get their own way, and both sometimes skirt the edge between "good guy" and "bad guy." Yet both become deeply attached to one of the protagonists, which reveals their capacity for caring and unselfishness, and they both help to bring the story's innocent girl and boy together. Of course there are key differences too. The Robber Girl is a child, while Éponine is a teenager; the Robber Girl is robust, fierce, and aggressive, while Éponine is more frail, ghostly, and whimsical (in the novel, at least – I've seen productions of the musical that played her more like the Robber Girl); and of the aforementioned boy and girl they help to reunite, Éponine is devoted to the boy, while the Robber Girl is devoted to the girl. But I still wonder if Victor Hugo drew just a little inspiration from Hans Christian Andersen in this case.

OTP: Maybe Gerda, if you view Gerda's love for Kai as sibling-like.

nOTP: Her mother, or any of the adult robbers.

Random headcanon: This isn't a rare or original headcanon, but I'll cite it anyway: she's a baby lesbian with a crush on Gerda. Now, I won't pretend this is the only way to read her. She can also be seen as just a lonely, mistreated child desperate for a friend. But in a story written by a bisexual author, she wraps her arm around Gerda's waist as they ride together, insists that Gerda share her bed, sleeps with her arms around Gerda's neck, and playfully insults Kai (her male "rival" for Gerda's affections) when she eventually meets him. Does that seem entirely platonic?

Even Disney seems to have seen it, since when they very loosely adapted the story as Frozen, they made the Robber Girl's counterpart into a male – though Kristoff isn't a criminal, or as wild or initially nasty as the Robber Girl, he's still the gruff, unsociable reindeer-owner who becomes the heroine's unlikely friend and helper – and made him the love interest of Gerda's counterpart Anna.

Unpopular opinion: Her appeal for me isn't because she's "badass." Repeatedly I've seen critics fixate on her feistiness as the reason to like her. But while it is endearing – and I do like that she's not "tamed" in any way, but gets to end the story by leaving her mother and setting out with a stolen horse and pistols to explore the world – that's not what matters most about her. It's that she has all the potential to be a villain, and at first she seems as if she'll be one, yet she feels compassion for Gerda, and as a result, without losing her hard edge or changing too much to believe, she chooses to do good.

Song I associate with them: None in particular.

Linda Manz in the Faerie Tale Theatre adaptation. (Too old for the role, yes, but it works because Gerda and Kai are aged up too. I wish I could find a good full-body picture, though, because I like her androgynous, fur-covered costume.)

[katatonicimpression]

Sam Wilson for the ask game.

1: sexuality headcanon

Bi. In the comics, it's self explanatory. In the mcu, you could probably make a case for him being gay or even ace because we're given so little. But idk he still seems bi to me. Maybe it's the sleeves, maybe it's the anxiety.

2: otp

Sam is a very shippable character, and I'm partial to a lot of them, but MCU-inspired sambucky is just top tier.

3: brotp

Redwing. Also Sarah.

Oh and can I say I would like a more meaningful reunion with nightshade? A version of her who actually resembles her? That could be fun.

4: notp

Zemo, any iteration thereof. Also Tony, for weirdly similar reasons (I.e. staggering ooc). In the same vein, feel the need to express my gratitude that the comics are acting like Jet Zola doesn't exist because yeah.. that's just a whole pile of yikes.

5: first headcanon that pops into my head

Comics: Mel was his first everything.

Also comics: indefensible hc but I feel like he's shorter than his official height.

MCU: Junior gymnastics champion. Red and white costume just like the Falcon outfit.

6: favorite line from this character

"Can't I be a little bit of both?"

7: one way in which I relate to this character

We're very different, but I guess we share the same kind of navel gazing worries - very "how am I coming across?"

8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character

Any financially obligated and/or censor mandated US propaganda stuff. Not a fan, but it is what it is.

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

So, what i would do is get some ready made puff pastry. Roll it out just a little bit to get it thinner. Sprinkle it with castor sugar OR maybe smear some apple sauce on it. Not too much, because of the moisture, but for a richer sweetness.

Then sprinkle powdered cinnamon and maybe also ginger and allspice or cloves. A real winter spices vibe.

Then cut it length ways into long strips. Roll them into wheels, then place them on their sides on a lined baking tray, plenty of space between them.

Bake for at least ten minutes, maybe fifteen in a medium oven (idk I am literally making this up - just check them and go by eye). Sprinkle a little extra cinnamon and some icing sugar while they're still hot, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.

incorrect rag quotes

[pureolivia-blog]

Olivia shook her leg impatiently and stole glances at her watch as she stood waiting outside of the Ravenclaw dormitories. The students had just finished up dinner several minutes earlier and the lanky blonde watched silently as a few stragglers ambled their way up to their rooms for the night. Olivia had convinced her raven haired counterpart to meet her for an evening stroll around the castle grounds. She had changed into a comfortable over-sized shirt and a pair of casual jeans before meandering her way to Ravenclaw tower. To pass the time, Olivia wandered down the hall, eyeing the moving paintings that lined the stone walls. She winked and smiled at a few paintings she came across and even stopped to chat with a man in a portrait. 

Growing increasingly impatient, Olivia had to stop herself from knocking on the common room entrance. A few Ravenclaws shot her curious looks as they walked through the hall, to which she responded with a scowl. Her face suddenly lifted when she saw familiar face walking towards her. “Geez Eli, I’ve been waiting out here for eons. What took ya so long?”

@justkeepdancing-nemo​

Finn had been itching to get started on a costume as soon as October had rolled around. He and his group of friends had been back and forth about just how and what costumes they would want to do for a while before settling on the powerpuff girls. Finn was incredibly excited.

He could have chosen to come up with something that had shorts and was more masculine, but that sounded like no fun at all. He wanted to go all out: a skirt or a dress. Finn wanted to embody Bubbles the best way that he knew how.

And he wanted to help Nemo be the cutest Blossom ever. He had the material he needed, though this time he kept it all in his room and invited Nemo right up. There was no need for them to deal with the grumpiness that was Charles Flounder. Not today anyway. 

Finn had his sewing stuff ready, the different colors for Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup, and different options: skirts, dresses, and shorts. “S-S-S-So w-w-what are you thinking for B-B-Blossom Nemo?”

Harvey dent 🫡

favorite thing about them: the sheer amount of different angles you can have on this guy's story, despite it always ending in tragedy, and his connection to Gotham and Bruce himself only makes his story hit harder. if I didn't say that id say his funny suits though

least favorite thing about them: when twoface/big bad Harv is portrayed as purely evil for no good reason and his entire fault that he becomes a villain (when like. it's pretty clear the acid thing was pretty traumatic and in many stories Harvey has already gone through a mental health decline for other reasons too). also whatever is going on in the dark knight I don't claim that's not my boy

Favorite line: really? almost the entire Batman forever script okay, guys. "have the good taste....to DIE!" "a man after our own heart....see you in hell!" "the bat has trained you well! noble....stupid, but noble."

brOTP: whatever's going on with him and the henchgirls (sugar n spice)

OTP: twiddler. they both are Bruce's exes. I also like bruharvey but more in a tragic way, what was lost what could have been etc. I ALSO like Gilda and Harvey in the long Halloween.

nOTP: honestly I don't think I've seen people ship him with anyone else.

random headcanon: some of his earliest custom made suits were made by himself, though not without trouble, and didn't look quite so clean. he taught himself how to sew and genuinely enjoys fashion tbh

unpopular opinion: Idk. I only feel like he doesn't have enough fans and needs more recent adaptations of his story desperately

song i associate with them: also none at the moment. My music has been in a weird way

favorite picture of them: DONT MAKE ME CHOOSE....

this card is so fucking funny to me though so it's going up here

[sarahsrp]

“So… they’re good-looking, right?”

“Yes…they’re good looking but that doesn’t change anything. I’ve already told you a million times that I’m not going to try to date the twin brother of a guy you’re dating because you want to “share a guy” so that our “best friend bond is officially sealed” but you need this loophole because you’re “too selfish to actually share a guy”. It’s a weird motivator for who you go after and I want no part of it.”

[officersnickers]

how about lucas for the ask game?

You wanted Lucas and here you have Lucas ^^

1: sexuality headcanon

Gay. From the tips of his head to his toes. Nothing else. My Lucas boi is 100% gay, no discussion.

2: otp

Obviously Yuucas. We as a fandom collectively saw these two guys and nothing stopped us to ship them, and here we are. I mean, is this not the gayest thing you ever heard?:

No, seriously, if I could have gotten more of Lucas and Yuugo‘s interactions, be it in the shelter, Goldy Pond or even their past, it would have been great.

3: brotp

Again, Yuugo is probably Lucas‘ best buddy. From childhood friends to lovers, how romatic.

If only we could have seen Lucas interact more with other characters, I could also name Dina, but there is zero interaction (within the manga, at least).

4: notp

Hmm… any ship with Lucas and one of his protegees. That‘s just a big no-no.

5: first headcanon that pops into my head

Sometimes Lucas forgets his arm is gone, especially when he interacts with Yuugo. Old days catch him more frequently than he would like to admit.

6: one way in which I relate to this character

Probably his love for his family and friends. I also would have adopted these rascals if I had the chance (although I‘m not too sure I would have put in their small hands, but that‘s just a Lucas thing, I guess).

7: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character

Nothing but respect for this man. I can‘t imagine one thing that I would be ashamed of as Lucas. Yeah, as I said, I can‘t get behind his decision to form a child army, but his living conditions were worse than I like to imagine.

8: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

Definitly cinnamon roll. He‘s sugar and spice and everything nice.

Thank you very much for the ask, @tutubola! I'm sorry this was posted so late. I was a bit busy with, well, life 😓

chloe & nino for the ask?

NINO!!!

favorite thing about them: everything. he's so funny, he's a good friend, and he really just wants to protect his friends even when he's terrified.

least favorite thing about them: lack of screentime probably. i wish he showed up more, and i want to see him interacting w more people than just alya (although i do love them a huge amount)

favorite line: "What if I act like a moronosaurus, so she disses me and thinks I'm lame or–?"

brOTP: alix

OTP: n...ninette......

nOTP: chlonino? idk, i dont think they're a bad ship, its an interesting pair up, but not really in my wheel house.

random headcanon: trans

unpopular opinion: i wish he got the peacock miraculous instead of the turtle

song i associate with them: Sunflower by Post Malone and Swae Lee

favorite picture of them:

they forgot to render his hair

CHLOE!!!

favorite thing about them: god shes so funny. i love watching her on screen. she's a bitch and while Marinette is the sugar of the show, Chloe is the spice and god does she bring it.

least favorite thing about them: i feel like her design could be better? i wish the show committed to her part as queen bee, considering that the miraculous itself is so OP, the consequences of her actions/the world knowing her identity/her being super extra and egotistical was a good counter balance to that insanely powerful power. She's not exactly reliable, and thats good! it creates so much conflict and possible room for growth. i'd complain about her character development but honestly im interested in where her character is heading so i actually have no complaints. She doesn't need to be redeemed, i just want her to grow.

favorite line: "My locker is my secret garden! He who enters uninvited burglarizes my inner being and steals my life force!" (from Lady Wifi) LITERALLY WHAT IS SHE TALKING ABOUT SHES SO FUNNY

brOTP: chlodrien

OTP: chlolix

nOTP: chlonath? again, i dont hate it, just not in my wheel house. just feels like chlonette but straight.

random headcanon: lesbian

unpopular opinion: she doesn't really need to be redeemed? i'd like it if she was, but she makes a good villain.
