#but also i headcanon that SH has younger siblings so it’s just always been an instinct for them

[agentplutonium]

I love thinking about Sweetheart just having a Vibe™ that kids will clock onto and they will just instinctively know that they can be trusted. I’m not even sure what they would do to warrant such a vibe but they have it. Sweetheart is always very smug about this fact too. When in public, out of instinct, when they see a kid they’re very aware of where and what that kid is doing even if they see that they have an adult with them. Also when in public (i’m thinking like public parks) if they notice a kid is playing a game with them (following them around, hiding when they turn and kid things like that) they’ll play along. They never get annoyed or angry at kids for coming up to them and bothering them, and will usually entertain any and all conversations that the kids bring up. Milo knows that they’re great with kids but the first time the others see it, they always marvel at how Sweetheart handles it. Anyways giv me sweetheart being good with kids it’s a need atp.

CABIN 7 — APOLLO

Headcanons.

❝There ought to be more drama, I think. A musical crescendo. Confetti.❞

— Jess Cooper, I Am Still Alive

Headcanon masterlist.

Oh, boy — this is my cabin, y'all; buckle up! 😁

Not all Apollo kids are good at everything their dad's good at, okay? I sure as heck can’t paint or play an instrument. 

TRIGGER WARNING: mentions of violence?

They run an underground tattoo parlor.

That's where Will & Butch got their respective sun & rainbow tats.

Apollo kids with lyrics tattooed into their skin.

Rick says there isn't much by way of décor inside, which is f*in' B.S. Apollo's the god of art; those walls have been graffitied Tangled style.

🎶 i'll paint the walls some more — i'm sure there's room somewhere! 🎶

The east wall is covered in a landscape of a sunrise, & the west has a sunset (because the sun rises in the east & sets in the — yeah, I'll see myself out).

The north & south walls & the ceiling are white, though, because it really brightens/opens up the space (C7 has the 2ⁿᵈ most campers under C11 because Apollo's a slut; things can get a little crowded in the summer).

When there’re celebrations, the artistically inclined kids bust out the face paint. Especially for the younger campers.

The artistically inclined are the ones that paint the camp beads for the end of the summer. Despite the numbers, it doesn’t take them as long as one might think.

Rick said the ceiling had cedar beams, but we're not gonna do Cyparissius dirty like that. Cypress wood is good for building; the beams are cypress. You know what? F*ck you — the whole dang cabin's cypress!

There’s a massive, potted aloe vera plant by the steps that gets moved into the C4 greenhouse in the winter. It’s one of those old ones — because everyone knows the old aloe plants work better for burns & blisters than these sh¡tty new ones. (It’s constantly getting broken off to heal burns & stuff.) 

Rick said there are potted red & purple hyacinths in the window & yellow flowers from Delos. That's true.

I'd say the flowerbeds around the cabin are full of healing plants, but I feel like they'd be better off around the infirmary for obvious reasons.

I do feel like there's a laurel tree planted outside C7, though, because Apollo's a pining b¡tch.

And there's an actual infirmary building, okay? Rick's kinda inconsistent about that. Sometimes he says "infirmary," sometimes he says the Big House is running over with injured, & apparently there's a cot dead center for injured in C7? B.S.

Or maybe I've just read too much fanfic, and the authors don't get it right?

Either way, there's an infirmary building with surgery & delivery rooms. One floor. Locker room for C7 kids to store their scrubs & sh¡t.

They go for yellow scrubs, though, because orange C.H.B. scrubs make them look like escaped convicts.

Fun Band-Aids™

They give out little orange stickers with laurels around the edges that are like I voted! stickers, but they're injury-specific.

I got my leg(s) reattached! & Percy Jackson shot me in the butt! & I ticked off Clarisse! & I made out with an Aphrodite kid in the poison ivy! & I fell off the lava wall! & I got pranked by the Stolls!

After a war or just when there’re a lot of campers in the infirmary, there seems to be a constant flow of Apollo kids singing one hymn to their father in unison to heal someone.

Sometimes, an unconscious camper wakes in a cot & thinks they’ve died & gone to the wrong afterlife for a moment because their singing sounds like angels. 

The medically inclined wash their hands like surgeons. 

Kind of germophobic?

They also go around tying surgeons knots in everything.

In the summer, they’re walking Banana Boat sunscreen & after-sun aloe lotion dispensers.

The medically inclined also have the world’s sh¡ttiest handwriting.

They have to work hard to fix it if it bothers them. 

Can check your vitals & run a blood test just by touching you.

A lot of them casually touch their loved ones (at least, the ones that aren’t in C7) every morning to check their vitals & see how their health’s doing.

They do it subconsciously every time they touch someone & don’t notice it until they pick up something’s wrong.

They can do this for themselves as well. Though it may not be as accurate? And they take daily vitamins depending on what they need.

Organize their lives via pill box (never lose an earring).

Fight surgically. Every blade in their hands becomes a scalpel, & every time they’re going in for a kill against an armed anthropomorphic monster, they slice the tendons in its arm required to grip its weapon to disable it before going in for the kill.

Back to C7, it’s got a little porch with a porch swing. The kids sit on it sometimes & teach people how to play instruments.

They leave the porch light on at night when they’re waiting for one of their siblings to come home from a quest.

Jumping into the depressing sh¡t, they never found Michael’s body, so they only presumed him dead. They leave the porch light on every night now, hoping he’ll come home.

Apollo kids are afraid of the dark. They use the buddy system after the sun goes down. 

The cabin’s central light fixture is a papier-mâché sun that’s been charmed to glow when someone sings 🎶 clap on 🎶 & stop glowing when someone sings 🎶 clap off. 🎶

The curtains are a gold fabric. They’re only closed at night. Because, again, C7 kids are afraid of the dark.

The Wikipedia says Apollo kids are cursed to be afraid of snakes (I assume by the Python Apollo killed). I feel like they’d burn a lot of aster leaves then. I read somewhere it was said by the Greeks to ward off evil spirits & snakes.

They play Go Fish with their tarot cards. They’re really good at tarot games.

Hand-drawn tarot decks featuring figures form Greek myth.

There’s a target on the back wall they practice throwing cards at. They can throw them in combat for a distraction with terrifying accuracy. 

There’s a Magic 8 ball that’s passed around on the Winter Solstice (the longest night of the year), when — as a headcanon I’m sure I’ve read somewhere has indicated — they’re up all night.

Crystal balls are allowed. However, they must be covered with a cloth or placed in a box when not in use because they’re double-convex lenses, & we don’t want another incident like the fire of 1993.

Sometimes, they make little predictions throughout the day other campers may find disturbing. Such as whipping around and catching a stray arrow without warning (spidey sense?). Or cutting you off when you’re talking about someone moments before they walk into the room.

There’s a tea cart in the corner. Because tea is good for healing & they’ve accumulated an addiction.

The cart has a radio on it that’s always on at night because a lot of C7 kids can’t sleep without noise. (Inspired by @sugarandspiceandkindanice.)

Most of the time, it’s on a nearby country station that actually plays good country at night. But sometimes they switch channels — especially when there’s a new kid settling in & they could use the comfort.

There’s a portable record player there too. The shelves under the cart are full of C.D.s & records.

I’m sure I’ve read a headcanon somewhere that they sing every morning while getting ready for the day. That’s true.

The number of times it’s been “When Will My Life Begin” from Tangled is disturbing, though. 

🎶 seven a.m., the usual morning lineup! 🎶

Luke said in The Lightning Thief C11 is up at 07:00 & breakfast is at 08:00, I think, but we all know Apollo’s waking his kids up when the sun rises. 

A lot of the time, someone will just start out with whatever song they have stuck in their head & everyone else will pick it up.

Sometimes, this leads to members having the aforementioned song stuck in their head for the rest of the day.

Even the people who aren’t musically inclined will sing along, as they’re usually drowned out by the music kids that get really into it.

So sometimes those not-music kids will find themselves singing by themselves during the day years later & are surprised to find — they actually sound good?? Or at least not bad??? And it’s because singing is a learned skill & they picked it up.

I’m sure I’ve also read a headcanon somewhere that they sing “Look Down” from Les Mis when they have to do menial chores, but I'm adding “It’s a Hard-Knock Life” from Annie, “Whistle While You Work” from Snow White, “Happy Working Song” from Enchanted, & the Smurf song.

They break into song all the time.

Lee was glaring at Tantalus once & made the mistake of saying, “Sometimes, I wish —” and the entire cabin broke out with “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

🎶 — i'd never been born at all! carry on, carry on… 🎶

As mentioned in at least The Lightning Thief & The Lost Hero, they spend a lot of time playing basketball. You can bet your butt they do a rendition of “Getcha Head in the Game” from High School Musical every time there’s a new camper passing by.

They have a sister named Jubilee, and every time someone greets her — "Hey, Jube!" — the entire cabin breaks into “Hey, Jude” by The Beetles.

🎶 hey, Jube! don't make it bad. take a sad song & make it better… 🎶

Sometimes, if there are two campers that really need to get together, C10′ll commission C7 to sing “Kiss the Girl” from The Little Mermaid (or the same song with different pronouns, obviously). 

It’s usually a capella unless someone happens to have an instrument on them.

Rickrolling. 

The “Macarena.” 

Apollo takes clandestine recordings of their jam sessions & distributes them professionally. Whatever money’s made goes directly into their college funds or they periodically find it under their pillow tooth-fairy-style.

There’s a lot of denim because the artistic members like to paint on the backs of jackets & the pockets of jeans.

A lot of them have excellent aim with most projectiles, so they toss stuff to each other a lot. This results in them being oddly in sync, so they can catch something from another sibling without warning & without looking like Sam & Dean Winchester do in Supernatural. 

Their life looks like a Dude Perfect trick shot video. 

It also results in some funny looks when they hurl things halfway across camp to each other. Namely, the whistling Nerf football. 

C7 is two stories. The second story has paint on every wall. 

The east wall upstairs has arrows mounted that got Robin Hooded along with a little tag with the name of the C7 kid & the date it happened.

They also have arrows mounted from the first bullseye if there’s a member being taught. 

Lots of musical instruments & art supplies up there.

There’s an old T.V. up there. They have all of Bob Ross’s show on V.H.S.

C7′s south wall (ground floor) holds the door to the bathroom on one side & a door leading to the stairs. 

It also hosts framed photos of Charlotte, Lee, & Michael.

Instead of saying “shoot,” they say “loose.” For everything. Instead of saying “Shoot!” when they drop something, they say “Loose!” 

It's kinda one of those things — like your friend starts saying something & you just integrate it into your vocabulary subconsciously.

They like to play a game where you shoot an arrow straight up & try to catch it as it comes back down.

That sounds really stupid on their part, but it actually comes in handy when someone tries to shoot them in combat & they catch the arrow, dumbfounding whoever's attempted to skewer them.

The cresting on their arrows is in Morse code of their nickname (·—— ·· ·—·· ·—··). They can take one look at an arrow & tell what’s whose.

And the paint color of the cresting tells them what kind of arrow it is — bullet tip, broadhead, explosive, etc. 

Every bunk in C7 is made with hospital corners. No exceptions. The kids who aren’t medically inclined learn because all the beds being made the same way makes it look cleaner for inspection.

I can’t decide if Apollo kids have really good eyesight so they fit the Hawkeye bill or if they’ve all just read — Apollo’s the god of knowledge — & painted so much they’ve messed up their eyes.

The number of times one of them has used bowstring wax on an art project in a rush instead of glue is hilariously large.

I use String Snot, and it comes in a container that looks like a glue stick.

A lot of them wear bracers all the time.

When the time it takes to sling one’s quiver onto one’s back, grab one’s bow, knock an arrow, & draw is so long, one really doesn’t have time to also strap on their bracers before rushing out of the cabin to threaten a giant bronze dragon.

Not to mention if they use a recurve, they’ll also have to string their bow.

And a number of them do use recurves due to the abilities to both knock multiple arrows at once & to restring in the field.

Bows with risers coated in golden, reflective paint & limbs painted with artistic strokes.

Trick arrows are their jam. C9 is constantly being asked for new arrows.

Explosive arrows, sonic arrows, grappling hook arrows…

That’s another saying they’ve all taken to: “___ is my jam!”

There’s a bookshelf or reference material on Apollo for new C7 kids (as Rick’s indicated), but the rest of the case is full of medical journals & textbooks & books on art & poetry & divining the future.

A lot — if not all — of them have either gold flecks in their eyes or central heterochromia.

Freckles across their noses & shoulders & on the tips of their ears. Tans. Sun-bleached hair. 

Long, nimble fingers perfect for playing musical instruments.

Either they hate the winter because the sun's out for less time (so you’ll find them walking around with blanched skin & faded freckles & with both a hoody & a parka on), or they’re perfectly fine with winter & are used by everyone around them as walking space heaters. 

They spend a lot of time with Castor & Pollux. 

Rachel sits at T7. She’s practically an Apollo kid at this point. 

While her cave was being renovated, she stayed in C7.

Their dad’s the god of truth; none of these M.F.s can lie worth a sh¡t. 

But, by the gods, they can tell when you’re lying.

And they take it as a personal insult. That you (A) would dare do something as immoral as lying in the first place & that you (B) would dare to insult their intelligence in such a way because you thought they couldn’t tell.

C6 & C7 are both known for reacting outrageously when their intelligence is insulted (see: chapter 10 of The Battle of the Labyrinth). 

The more civil of the reactions of a C7 kid being lied to is cursing the liar to tell the truth, which I believe they can. 

They can curse you to speak in rhyming couplets; they should be able to curse you to tell the truth.

You mean to tell me none of these kids have created a functioning Lasso of Truth yet?

This one's really long. 😅

A lot of people fancast Sam Claflin as Apollo, but I'm going with Ross Lynch. 'Cause I do what I want. 😎

The Uchiha Family Modern AU Headcanons

I would like to say the only character that I really "know" is probably Sasuke and even when it comes to Sasuke my talent in writing him is probably -37 out of 5 

P.S. This has a bit of SasuHina, it's just hard for me to have a modern AU that features Sasuke without a bit of SasuHina, so if you're not into SasuHina sorry about that

Anyways I hope you guys enjoy this I’ve been thinking about doing some more family headcanons in a modern au so I just want to see what people think of these.

[voltronauta]

As someone that has a very big family, I really, really want Lance to approach Team Voltron as he would approach his family. I don’t have many siblings per se, but I do have cousins, nieces, and nephews and if there’s something I’ve learned in my living time is how to approach people, based on my family experience.

If someone is interested in reading this, I’ll be posting it under the “read more”, ‘cuz it’s gonna get really long. It’s just me rambling, based on my own experience and some other borrowed experiences, and possible similarities, due Lance having such a big family.

About Pidge~ You see, I do headcanon her as a bit younger than the rest of the Paladins. Not too much, perhaps 2-3 years, but 2-3 years, with siblings (and especially if they are a different gender), is a LOT. Sometimes, younger sibs tend to try and outsmart/sass you just to prove that they are on your level, ‘cuz age gap always, always get the little sibling. Pidge, having an older sibling herself, a sibling that went to space and is, apparently, a badass scientist, probably knows this feeling as well and probably a bit of the bickering between Matt and Pidge happened because of the age/importance issue that many siblings with age gaps have (where, you know, the older sibling is given more responsibility and the dynamics with their parents change and where the younger sibling usually tries to either catch up or distance themselves from the ‘big bro path’). So, I want that to be transparent as water in Lance and Pidge’s relationship. I want her to approach him as an older brother, someone to rely on, someone to look up to, but also I want Lance to look at her like a little sis and all the situations that come with that kind of relationship. I want them to be supportive, to sass each oter, and also I want them to have an argument where Pidge behaves exactly like the younger sib and Lance behaves exactly like the older sib who has to scold her. I think it’d be so fun! With Pidge being a brains genius, but Lance having so much experience in dealing with this ‘younger sib wrath’ (’cuz you know, big ass family).

Regarding Hunk~ I want to see more of their relationship, but about Hunk being that one friend that has been there forever and is part of your family now. That friend that might as well be your twin, but at the same time, you two are clearly not related. I’m not sure if many people are familiar with this, or this kind of treatment only happens in very, very big ass traditional Latino families, so I’m gonna elaborate. Hunk and Lance’s relationship (personal headcanon) goes way, way back. They are friends whose families met when they were really young and just grew up together and pretty much adopted each other as part of their respective families. With that kind of friends, the dynamics really change from time to time, ‘cuz not only they are your friends, but your parents see them as their own responsibility as well, so your parents scold them, and their parents scold you. You stand up to defend them from your parents and they do the same. You also are almost a sibling to them, sometimes older, sometimes younger. You are, also, a friend. THE friend. So this kind of dynamic is really... dynamic. In their relationship, I want to see that. I want for Lance to stand up for Hunk, as someone would for their younger sibling, but I also want for Hunk to scold Lance, as someone would scold their younger sibling. And the other way around, too. I want them both to be younger/older sibling at times. I just want to see this amazing dynamic interchanging roles as the older/younger sibling/best of friends.

About Allura~ I headcanon that Lance sees Allura and Shiro as he would his older siblings. I’m gonna talk only about Allura here, tho, ‘cuz relationships with older brothers and older sisters are really, really different. I just want him to approach her looking for advice and reassurance, like any younger sibling with his older. But I also want him to work hard for it, to earn it, ‘cuz younger siblings try their asses off to catch up to this untouchable, almost perfect figure that their older siblings represent. Remember what I was saying about Pidge? Well, I want exactly that, but with Lance and Allura. Also, as a younger brother, when you grow up, yo need to step up your game. You need to talk like a grown up, act like a grown up, be a grown up so your older siblings will notice that you grew up. Not because they don’t want to acknowledge that you grew up, but because, sometimes, they don’t realize it. For them, you’ll be 12 years forever. And GOD can that be frustrating. So he’s Allura’s younger brother, he needs reassurance, he needs advice, he needs hugs, and cuddles, and appreciation. But he also needs adult validation and someone to look up to, someone he has to push himself to catch up to. And Allura is one of those two persons. She can be a role model while having a spa day with him and that’s exactly what siblinghood is about, dammit.

Okay, but what about Shiro?~ As I was saying, relationships between an older sister and an older brother are way different. Older sisters with younger brothers, despite all the bickering and teasing there might be, tend to have an ‘easier’ dynamic with their brothers: the boys feel more confident going to talk about feelings, insecurities and ‘girly things’ with their sisters. So, while Allura can cover that part, Lance still can still have a pretty interesting dynamic with older-brother-figure-Shiro, where there’s this more of a ‘boy vibe’. Relationship with female siblings is more about building your temper and your emotional intelligence (read patience. Lots. Of. Patience), while relationships with male siblings are more about building character, growing bolder and stepping up (of course, there are many exceptions, but as I’ve observed, in families constructed similarly to Team Voltron, I think it’d work like this, more or less). ‘Cuz “It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.”. And older-brother-figure-Shiro + team-leader-Shiro is one hell of a role model, dude! But also requires a lot of Lance’s younger sibling effort to catch up to. To learn from him and also to grow up and be seen as “more than a 12 years old” (actual quote from one of my nieces).

About Coran~ He’s the space uncle! I don’t think is relly necessary to elaborate here, but I will anyway. He’s pretty much the ‘father’ figure, probably with some experience as well (I do headcanon that he had a family back in Altea), so he knows exactly how to guide Lance in his journey through aging. They are in a war, tho, so not everything is always going to be like a bed of roses. You see, the thing when you’re a middle sibling is that it’s really hard to snap. You can’t snap with your younger siblings, ‘cuz they can’t stand up for themselves, and you can’t snap with your older siblings, ‘cuz they’ve been there and done that and trust me, kiddo, that’s a bad idea. So you bottle up and end up snapping at nothing, one way or another. The thing with uncles and aunts is that they are really, really good at understanding. In general. ‘Cuz they don’t see you as flawless as perhaps your parents do, so they don’t get that surprised when you screw up, but they still love you deeply. Also, they had to put up with your mom/dad’s sh*t for quite some years, so they probably know where you’re coming from even better than you do, ‘cuz family traits are either inherited or learned. Even if Coran does not know Lance’s family, he’s a father, he’s a uncle, and he has lived some years to know what he’s talking about. So he’s the adult support. He’s the cool uncle that you love deeply and loves you deeply in return.

Finally, Keith~ He’s that cousin. Yes, that one. Y’all know which cousin I’m talking about. The cousin that is your brother’s fave and he’s also great at everything and you love him but you also low-key can’t stand him because why, oh God, why does he have to be like that? You know it’s not on purpose, that he’s not being like that to annoy you or anything. But still, it gets you. So what does Lance do about that? He get’s better at everything he can, so the next family meeting, they can argue about who has the biggest dog. He’s fuel and inspiration. But don’t misunderstand this, they love each other, they really do. They have heart-to-hearts sometimes, watch movies and are really fond of each other. Still, they are very competitive. And it’s fine, ‘cuz it gets both of them going. And when they step over the line, there’s the rest of the family to calm them down and remind them why and how much they love eachoter.

Basicly, I want Lance to interact with them as he would interact with his own family back on Earth. I really, really do. ‘Cuz they are family.

They are the Space Family!

someone may have asked you this already but!! can you talk about susan's relationships with her siblings? specifically during the different stages of her life (pre-narnia, in narnia, post narnia) and how they change? (this is a broad question but i love the pevensies so much and i always love seeing you talk about them).

ASK ME QUESTIONS ABOUT SUSAN! : always accepting 

i believe i have answered something similar in the past, but i certainly never mind discussing the pevensies at length to anyone who wants to read me prattling on about them! i think i learn something new about susan and the way she interacts with/feels toward her siblings each time i answer. :3 

PETER : her relationship with peter is actually likely the most complex of her relationships with her siblings. her relationship with lucy is fairly multifaceted, but a lot of the time their tensions simply boil down to the fact that they’re just SO OPPOSITE in so many particulars, and just can’t quite understand one another. with peter, though, it’s interesting. they’re quite similar in a lot of ways, and where they’re different it tends to be a complementary type of difference. pre-narnia, they’re quite close. as the eldest two, they both take a fair amount of responsibility for their younger siblings, and they work as a team in order to make that happen, particularly as the war picks up and their father goes off to fight. they’re a united front, most of the time. they get along quite well, and it’s rare for them to outright argue or show bad temper to one another. when they are angry with one another…it’s usually susan, and she usually shows it through the use of silence, but that never lasts long. they’re the ones who tend to make decisions for the four of them, the ones who act sort of as The Adults in situations where no adults are present. while they’re close, they never quite have the relationship that peter and lucy have, which does cause a certain jealousy on susan’s side - - - not that she would ever admit to it, nor even actually know that’s what sh felt. in narnia, their pre-narnia relationship is, essentially, multiplied. strengthened tenfold. they’re thrown into being rulers of a country they barely know EXTREMELY young, and they STILL have the other two to look after. due to the extreme youth of edmund and lucy, they take on a lot of the real responsibilities of ruling monarchs until the other two get older and fall into their own roles. it’s rare for one of them to make an important decision without at least speaking with the other. they’re also, in a lot of ways, the main support of the other, particularly in their earliest years as rulers. post-narnia, everything falls apart. slowly, at first, and then all at once.they were all as close as they had ever been at first, trying to help one another, but the real world is so much different, the expectations are different, and so are the perception of the siblings’ closeness. i tend to headcanon peter sort of withdrawing into himself, and susan sees that as shutting her out (on purpose), and it hurts her. meanwhile, susan is sensing disapproval or dismay from her mother about the way the four of them have been acting (how strangely close they seem to be, how little they seem like their old selves) that she begins to put on a mask of pre-narnia susan…or what she believes that to be.  they both try for quite a long time to maintain the same relationship they’d had, but it just doesn’t quite work, particularly after susan goes to america with their parents.their little disagreements seem now to come loaded with more pain and friction than before, susan begins to truly resent what she sees as peter’s dismissal of her, but as she begins to drift away it’s peter who tries to draw her back…and she bucks against that. it becomes a sort of tug-of-war between them, turning them almost into rivals. i think they break each other’s hearts without quite realizing they’re doing it. susan is really quite horrible to peter in post-narnia, worse than she is with either of the others. she can be sort of snappish and dismissive with lucy, but it’s not the sort of meanness she shows toward peter. it all culminates in a terrible argument that end with susan storming away, never to speak to him again. 

EDMUND : her relationship with edmund is absolutely the least complex - the most straightforward. this one is likely to be the shortest of the three responses, though i don’t want anyone to think it means she loves him any less than the others - only that the difference in their relationship necessitates it. in a lot of ways, i think he understands her better than either of the others do, which smooths their relationship and shields it from a lot of the rough patches that characterize her relationships with the other two. pre narnia, though, i don’t think their relationship is really very remarkable? when he was born, susan wasn’t really old enough to take the more active sibling role she adopts with lucy. she’s only two at the time, after all, and i think her main sentiment about the whole thing was unhappiness that her mother’s attention was drawn away from her. they have a fairly typical older sister - younger brother relationship, susan attempting to boss edmund around, and edmund being grumpy about it/resisting. in narnia, though, their relationship changes. they both grow into accomplished diplomats, and travel together quite frequently (canonically we only see them go to calormen, but they seem to treat it as one trip among many), and they make a formidable team. susan learns to trust edmund implicitly, to trust his decisions even when they don’t involve her. it’s edmund she confides in, in the most honst way. she doesn’t feel as much that there’s anything she has to mask or hide from him, for any sort of reason. post narnia, theirs is probably the relationship that changes the least, at first. she knows that edmund understands her, relies on that, and it’s that knowledge that keeps them closer even as she drifts apart from peter. she knows that he doesn’t approve of the way she begins to live, but she also doesn’t sense the same sort of judgment she feels from the other two. she’s the least snappish and mean with him, and while they do grow more distant as time does on, their relationship is still on decently good (read: speaking) terms, even by the end. 

LUCY : i could honestly tal for years about lucy, susan, and the relationship between the two. and dont even get me started on the arya/sansa and lucy/susan parallels! pre-narnia, susan definitely plays the mother hen to lucy. she was DELIGHTED to “finally!” have a baby sister (she had secretly very much Not Wanted ANOTHER BROTHER), and four-year-old susan rarely let the baby out of her sight. when she cried in the night, their parents would often find susan standing beside the crib, trying to comfort her. susan absolutely sees lucy as her responsibility in a certain way, and she takes that seriously. that being said, as lucy grows older, it becomes evident that the two girls are very much opposite in many points of personality. from the beginning, there is a certain lack of understanding that causes them to frustrate one another, though all in small ways during childhood. when the war begins to touch their lives, it’s lucy that susan worries most about, and the only one she attempts to shield from details coming in through the news. in narnia, they get to be friends, after a time. susan certainly is still quite protective of lucy, treats her as a child WHILE lucy is a child, but eventually, as time goes on, relinquihses some of that mother-hen-ness that so characterized their pre-narnia relationship. they’re still, of course, very much opposite, but in ways that make sense. they probably come closest to understanding one another in narnia, and are certainly most accepting of differences there. still, they don’t share many similar interests, so most of the time they spend together is spent sailing, swimming, or simply walkiing. opposite, but in a good way. a healthy way. a kind of sun-and-moon or fire-and-water opposite. they get along quite well in narnia, though susan does worry about lucy almost constantly, and can be frustrated by her impulsiveness, her wildness. post narnia, things get Bad. they really do. susan tries to hold on tightest to lucy, and it all backfires in a horrible way. it all starts out alright - - susan treats lucy as the adult she had JUST been, even when everyone else is treating her as a child. she supplies hints of memory when lucy can’t quite remember specifics, she’s there to comfort and talk to (and throw tantrums at, even when she’s not the reason for them). she’s very patient with lucy at first, a sort of steady point. over the course of time, however, susan takes on the idea that they all need to Grow Up and Forget Narnia, because remembering hurts too badly, and won’t do any of them any good. it really does start off from a good place, in a way -  - she thinks she’s helping her siblings, thinks she’s doing what’s best. of course, she also ends up returning to treating lucy like a child (because she IS a child, to the rest of the world), and the combination of these things drives a wedge between them, that sort of slowly but steadily drives to a breaking point.

CABIN 5 — ARES

Headcanons.

❝We shouldn’t equate being a badass with never feeling scared, with never needing self-care, with never being affected by the world. I mean, I think ‘badass’ comes with knowing what makes you feel comfortable and secure, and when something doesn’t, unabashedly saying, ‘Nah.’❞

— Kim Rhodes, The Wayward Podcast

Headcanon masterlist.

Ares is more than just the god of war.

He's also the god of civil order, courage, fear, masculinity, rage, rebellion, & violence.

TRIGGER WARNING: mentions of homophobia, blood (there’s a gif of bloody knuckles), mentions of death.

C5 kids have excellent posture because they're always training, so they're always wearing breastplates. And I assume breastplates improve your posture the way corsets do.

A lot of them do that thing cops & army people do with their vest where they kinda hang their hands from the collar? Bane does it in The Dark Knight Rises, though I must admit he kind of looks weird with his elbows out like that?

Also because they're always training, they've got a lot of scars.

They've got a lot of year-rounders.

Kicking the bed above to wake your bunkmate up.

Steel-toed boots.

Parachute cord laces with knots at the ends for quick donning & removal.

Laces are wrapped around the top of the boot & tucked in rather than tied — U.S. Military style.

You'd think C5 would have a really messy interior, but actually, their bunks are made with military corners, & they all live out of a tidy footlocker. Because most of them have an active-duty mom (Ares seems like an a$$hole who feeds on toxic masculinity, so if he is gay, I feel like he'd take it to the grave), so Ares expects them all to be dutiful — at least under his roof.

The laurels they receive are mounted above their bunk.

Most have a staple jacket or vest. Every time they win laurels, they find a patch on their pillow from Ares to be stitched on to their staple clothing item.

Which means they're all pretty decent at the backstitch or whipstitch.

A lot of them wear camouflage.

A.C.U. jackets over bronze breastplates.

There are no little strings hanging off their clothes. (I’ve heard them called I.P.s?) They burn that sh¡t off with a Bic lighter. 

They grew up bouncing around all over the place. None of them really have a solid answer for, "Where are you from?"

Which means they're used to being the new kid & can make friends easily if they want to.

It also makes them very adaptable.

A lot of their belongings have those military moving stickers on them that never got peeled off.

Those belongings are actually pretty few. They're not materialistic; they travel light.

Obviously, I'd like to think of Ares as the god of army brats. 😅

They know their social security number on rote. And their mom's. And they probably still carry their I.D. card if they become year-rounders because their mom was K.I.A.

Set up a Missing Man Table in the dining pavilion for fallen half-bloods & a Missing Man Bunk in their cabin for their fallen siblings.

Work on 24-hour-time & the metric system.

Even the kids who don't have a military mom measure their lives in increments of 2–4 years.

Surprisingly punctual.

Know when to be quiet & respectful. If they got into trouble, their mom got into trouble too.

A lot of them take J.R.O.T.C. if they survive to high school & aren’t year-founders.

If you don’t know what that is, basically, the U.S. Army employs ex-Air Force, Coast Guard, Military, & Navy personnel to high schools across the country to teach classes that help kids develop into good leaders & overall citizens. They focus on current events, drills, government, history, & technology awareness & teach kids to do well with job interviews, studying, & test taking. I think they also do P.T. (physical training) once a week, so it gives a P.E. credit. (Source.)

It’s not for army recruitment, but if one does join the army, it helps.

Here’s a Tabbes video on it. She’s great.

Not innate weavers like C6, but they all know how to make a quick-deploy parachute cord bracelet & actively wear at least one.

Their E.D.C. (Everyday Carry) game is better than yours.

Boys probably wear their hair "high & tight" or in a crew cut.

Girls probably wear theirs in boxer braids.

They call camp rations M.R.E.s (Made Ready to Eat).

They jokingly call camp M.W.R. (Morale, Warfare, & Recreation).

They can all spot landmines instinctively — that's why none of then are worried about having them around their cabin.

C5 kids call each other by either a demeaning nickname or their surname.

R.B.F.s to end all R.B.F.s.

Some of them can instill anger or fear in someone just by looking at them. Just not as strong as their father or Phobos/Deimos, obviously.

One of them glares at you, & you feel an inkling of fear & think maybe you should reconsider.

Motor cycles & classic cars.

The older kids will teach the younger kids zippo tricks.

I like to think all of them have read Sun Tzu's The Art of War. C5 has a copy that's full of notes & diagrams in the margins.

I also think if they'd've been in the Battle of New York from the start, it would've gone differently; one of them would have questioned Percy's order for them to split up by cabin to cover certain places because, as verse seventeen of chapter six of The Art of War says, "For should the enemy strengthen his van, he will weaken his rear; should he strengthen his rear, he will weaken his van; should he strengthen his left, he will weaken his right; should he strengthen his right, he will weaken his left. If he sends reinforcements everywhere, he will everywhere be weak."

Of course, some C6 (Athena) kid would’ve countered with verse sixteen of chapter seven, which says, “Whether to concentrate or devide your troops, must be decided by circumstances.”

Honestly, I'm surprised none of the C6 kids said anything either; their mother's the goddess of battle strategy; you'd think The Art of War was their Bible.

Bloody knuckles.

Brass knuckles are for cowards.

Always armed to the teeth.

Some of them can turn every day objects into weapons, but it'll only last for a little while.

Knives that can be used against monsters & knives that can be used against mortals.

T5 has stab marks in it from where the older kids challenged the younger kids to I Have All Five Fingers.

🎶 i have all five fingers, and the knife goes chop, chop, chop 🎶

Carve their initials into their bunks & trunks.

My fancasts for Ares are Skeet Ulrich & Jon Bernthal. Jensen Ackles would kick a$$ too, though.
