#but now i'm getting into my own bs headcanons

[requiesticat]

Enjel having unwanted thoughts about how cute her boss is and getting flustered because she's trying to sleep. She wonders why she'd ever be attracted to him

Ozzy being aware of her crush and dropping hints, but keeping them so casual that she can't tell if he's joking or not and it drives her insane

Some of Baji's mischaracterization that gives me the ICK

It's 2024 and there are people out there who still can't understand Baji's character and mischaracterize him heavily, mostly because of the Bajifuyu ship.

DISCLAIMER: You can ship whoever you want. I'm just tired of seeing my favourite character constantly being mischaracterized because of toxic shippers. Also I'm not a shipper myself, I do not romanticize any of the relationships I mention below.

The biggest issue with Baji's character is the fact that Bajifuyu shippers (and sometimes just the fandom in general) constantly ignore Kazutora's role in Baji's life, meanwhile Kazutora made a huge impact on Baji's character. You can clearly see it not just in the anime or in the manga, but in the spin-off too.

Baji and Kazutora were that duo, they were a literal separated team within Toman. They met naturally, become friends instantly and spent most of their time together (many times without Toman). It's accepted by the fandom, that Kazutora's first real friend was Baji, but also Baji's first close friend was Kazutora.

Obviously Mikey and Baji were close as kids, but after Baji moved to a different place they weren't that close. I bet this is the reason why Baji didn't know about Shinichiro's bike shop, since when they met regularly Baji was a little kid and Shinichiro was a teenager without a bike shop. It also shows that Mikey and Baji aren't that close, they are more like childhood buddies than close friends.

I can talk about this for hours but now I only wrote it as a small disclaimer, before I get into my points, so let's go.

I am sick of it when:

they call Baji stupid (he literally outsmarted Kisaki, being smart not equals only book smart)

people headcanon him as a mean, aggressive, abusive bf (he is canonly no.1 best lover and he literally died because he has a heart of gold, let this bs go pls)

they can't understand the reason behind his suicide and make it a ship war (ICK)

people can't accept the fact Baji loves his friends differently, and not everyone is his bestie (it doesn't mean he does not love them, or prefers someone over the other but love can be different towards different people and it's absolutely normal!)

they make his character all about Bajifuyu (he is an individual, stop bringing up Chifuyu EVERYTIME when it comes to Baji. His character is much more than a guy in a dominant-submissive fanmade yaoi ship people like dragging him into!)

they make Chifuyu the good, perfect friend while constantly dragging Baji down and made him the bad guy in their relationship (I could write a whole essay just about this being a bullshit)

when they romanticize Bajifuyu (Baji canonly sees Chifuyu as a younger brother figure said by Baji's mom, but there are people out there who still believes unironically that they are in love... WHY?)

they ignore that Baji is very caring and affectionate not just towards Chifuyu, he is like this because these are his own personality traits. He behaves like this with everyone who's close to him. (Mikey, Kazutora, Ryuusei and just Toman in general)

people say Chifuyu was the only one who understood Baji's feelings and aims (the literal reason Baji died was because no one really understood his goals and behaviour, not even Chifuyu)

they romanticize Chifuyu's obsessiveness towards Baji (if Chifuyu was a girl, he would be cancelled for this behaviour immediately, but the double standard won again)

people make his death an opportunity to romanticize Bajifuyu (biggest ICK)

they say Baji is only distant with Chifuyu beacuse he is a tsundere (there are so many situations when Chifuyu truly annoys Baji, e.g. he said it many times that Chifuyu's infatuation really disturbs him and asked Chifuyu to stop)

Bajifuyu shippers ignore and hate Kazutora just because he disturbs their ship

they say Baji was a bad influence to Kazutora (Kazutora hung out with gangs even before he met Baji, he was already a part of the underworld. the reason Kazutora turned out that way was his abusive father and his horrible childhood in general. Baji literally saved him, and he could finally be himself around Baji without any judgement or harassment)

they ignore or even DENY Bajitora's bond because of Bajifuyu

they accept Bajifuyu, Kazufuyu or even the Bajitrio but HATE Bajitora (the biggest bullshit ever)

they can't recognise the fanservice of Bajifuyu and calls them canon because of the clear fanservice acts

people think Bajitora is one sided (more Baji sided) meanwhile Tora loves Baji more than his own life and shows it many times how much he loves Baji and how much Baji means to him

they accept that Chifuyu never changed his hairstyle after Baji made it for him (and obviously they romanticize it) but they are hating because Kazutora looked exactly like Baji in bad toman timeline

people ignore Bajitora and always forgets that they are very close to each other in every timeline. the new panels Wakui drew were also about Kazutora putting Chifuyu to his place after Chifuyu completly ignored Tora and disturbed his time with his best friend. (we all know Kazutora is very possessive with Baji for obvious reasons and does not tolerate being disrespected by someone)

The list could go on and on but these are the main problems I still see in this fandom when it comes to Baji's character.

I'm tired of seeing this amazingly well-written character turns into a boring, abusive, mean guy by the fandom who is only an abuser in a toxic fanmade yaoi ship.

SIDE NOTE:

To all the people who dislike him/call him mean and aggressive because he beat Chifuyu up:

This anime is based on a manga which takes place in the early 2000's gangster world in Japan. He is the captain of the 1st division, he is the leader, and his role is not just to be the strongest in the division but also to manage his team, bc this is also what a leader does. If someone is disrespectful, breaks the rules and shows a bad example to the others he has to punish them. In this world this is how things go. This won't make him a bad person, or an aggressive jerk. Baji can be very calm and collected when it comes to leading his division. He is a very good leader, who takes care of his teammates, so no surprise he is really loved by his division. 

Also when he beat Chifuyu up before joining Valhalla: he hated himself for doing that. But he had to, he had no other choice. And Chifuyu had every right to stand up against Baji and tell him he's not doing it. But since Chifuyu never questions Baji's decisions as the captain of the first division he agreed with this one too, and also because he wanted to help him. Chifuyu knew exactly what he was doing when he let Baji doing this to him, and he went along with it. Stop bringing this up everytime and use it against Baji.

It took me longer to sit down to do the recap than to read the bit. Note: please don't tell me anything that might be a spoiler or a reference to things that will happen in the future of the book! I'd rather not know anything as I read, I'll be happy to engage in conversation of the details after I'm done! Also, please be kind if I make a mistake, English isn't my first language and these books sometimes are difficult 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued interest ♥

previously, in nona del 9:

this happened

this is the general tag of the recaps, for anyone wondering

DAY FIVE ("the saddest girl in the whole entire world" girl, same "paul gets born" happy birthday paul??? I guess???)

CHAPTER 20 (first house, we better run)

nona wakes up yet again, this time after a tantrum

she's throwing up and palmolive helps her out

they're in the BOE meeting room with the wake portrait again

palmolive had to do some necromancer operation shenanigans to remove the bullet from nona's head

and sriracha girlie decided to exit the chat

BOE freaked out about the operation and put a shackle on camolive and locked them and nona together

nona is embarrassed about the tantrum but palmolive is like "fuck them, actually"

palmolive is mad about them leaving the gang in the dark in so many ways and thinks they had it coming for doing that

I agree, I mean, I get where BOE is coming from with the hesitancy to trust people who were on the other side of this

but it's not like you have a chance to win against nona, pyrrha and camolive, if it gets to that

and there's so much you don't know to even think you can win

so, maybe this could have been planned better, is all I'm saying

in any case, nona finally tells palmolive about gideon dream girl

and palmolive says that if camilla and him didn't love her so much they'd throttle her and give her magazines to charity

nona thinks that's bs because she's "the most deserving person on the planet"

this ego thing she has going on sometimes takes me by surprise, I forget she thinks like this

I guess it's a kid way of thinking, but still

nona also decides to continue with the reveals and tells palmolive the Secret that I believe is the same she told sriracha girlie a while back

and it's that she's dying

1) how? 2) who, in that clown car of a body, is dying exactly? 3) did it have to be now??????

palmolive is looking like spock up there, actually

(would palmolive be a spock fanboy? because I think very yes, but we don't always agree on our palmolive headcanons)

palmolive has to roll up his sleeves and do some necro magic again

"Cytherea the First must have enjoyed those games she played with me"

I could have told you, my guy, but you were being a weenie, like gideon said

I feel bad about it, though, poor guy

*patting palmolive in the head in my mind*

so, nona apparently is starving, but energetically

because her soul is trying to leave the clown car of a body she's in

harrow's body, I think we've established at this point

it makes sense to me, it's not her body, allegedly

and maybe also nona's soul is extra weird, because this is ice cube barbie or some other weird thing that is too powerful for harrow's poor little clown car body

like trapping a genie in a glass dropper

that's kind of palmolive's train of thought too, actually, except he uses terms like "melange" and "gestalt theory" instead of "some other weird thing" and "clown car body"

what I remember of gestalt theory from uni is the concept that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts

I don't know if he means, in this case, that maybe he thinks her a combination of souls and that, if that was the case, it'd give her bigger powers than harrow or gideon would have had on their own

differently from lyctorhood, in which their combination is more on the advantage of the necromancer, who keeps steering the wheel

unless you get og!gideon'd and die, leaving the car to pyrrha

but anyway, palmolive doesn't know about ice cube barbie, so he doesn't consider her in his train of thought

(that's why you need me in the polycule *drops cv*)

I'M TAKING TOO MUCH TIME WITH ONE PARAGRAPH OF PALMOLIVE TALK, WE NEED TO MOVE ON

palmolive tells nona that he can't let her body die because he has to give it back to harrow

nona asks further details of her potential identities

palmolive tells her that, if she's one of two people, he's not harrow

or not solely harrow

this is very funny to me personally because, as I mentioned back in this recap of chapter 2, when I didn't know anything from these books except for the covers and the names of gideon and harrow, I thought nona was their child in the future

so this idea that nona was born from a combination is really hilarious to me

disrespectful of me, laughing at this time

palmolive describes yandere twin as a very obviously dead person with fashion hair, so he roasted her for me

(we'll talk about the chad of it all in a minute)

he tells nona that dream girl gideon might be her, but nona doesn't want to be a redhead and a zombie

palmolive goes "then what are we all?"

not in those words, but that's the sentiment

he also says sriracha girlie "is a very young woman who has been living on her nerves for so long that I imagine she doesn't have anything else. She'll regret what she did at some point"

ouch, man

I think this isn't the last we've seen of sriracha girlie and she'll come to ruin the party at some point

well, not party, that's a sensitive subject

can't blame her, though, she's been harmed by these people and got her family killed, I can't judge this child

palmolive explains that the shackle they have is explosive and that we suffer and coronabeer have been planning things somewhere without them

kinda wild they ended up trusting coronabeer more than camilla, but I guess it isn't a matter of cv but of how they acted when they were brought in and how coronabeer became one of them

"I hate being locked up" "So did Gideon, I gather"

palmolive, if I told you how this whole thing started with gideon wanting to not be locked up anymore

well, it started with dr reverend emperor john becoming a streamer, but that's another story

"I haven't been able to save many people in my life, I'm afraid, but I'm intent on saving you"

camilla and palmolive switch places and in comes we suffer, without a mask

nona says she'd think her pretty if she wasn't so upset

does nona think everyone is pretty or is everyone pretty here?

is there a difference?

we suffer says that BOE was very impressed with nona going apeshit

she also doesn't want to tell them who angel teacher actually is

she does confirm that angel teacher is a member of BOE and that it was an awful idea to have both the gang and her in the same area

we suffer is also kinda upset at camilla for not telling her that she can do necromancy (which, technically, she can't)

and mentions that the whole thing that went down has made the BOE factions more undecided on what the hell to do with them

we suffer mentions someone volunteered to go face the house people because it wouldn't be a death sentence for her

immediately, I think this must be coronabeer twin

camilla doesn't think this is a good idea whatsoever and we suffer says she needs camilla to translate the stuff that will be said in the meeting

and that coronabeer claims that she's expendable whereas camolive is not

which yeah, to me personally, that's true, but I'm not the standard opinion here

apparently they tried to bomb yandere twin out of existence but we all know that doesn't work on a lyctor

unless you're palmolive, who is an expert on exploding and lyctors

we suffer also thinks it's time for BOE to attack because wake always had them on the defense and it hasn't worked so far

camilla says coronabeer is giving in and that we suffer has been, played because she can't lie to yandere twin

at this point, we suffer is just gonna have to sit there and listen, though, whatever happens

we have an idiom here, "estamos en el horno", which literally means "we're in the oven" and it's used to describe moments in which you're in a very rough situation that is inescapable

kind of like "we're fucked", but more metaphoric

that's what's happening over here

I'm teaching you guys very local idioms but I need you to see what I see

coronabeer reaches the houses spot and this happens

wild to hear someone say "my sister is a lyctor", since most lyctors we knew were a william years old and had no surviving family

that I know of

also, cohort dude at the door will have an awful day because I think coronabeer is the one person who has the most Let Me Speak To The Manager attitude in this whole book series

all she's been doing this time is speak to managers, actually

yandere twin shows up and hugs coronabeer and now I'm realizing she's using chad's body

which is so stupid of me, because nona mentioned yandere twin had brown hair in the video and I was like 'wasn't she blonde????'

but sometimes I don't understand things and you guys are like 'that's not what happened' and I feel dumb, so I was like 'ok, maybe all this time I was wrong about the twins being blondes'

but no, she's using chad like linguini from ratatouille

so that she can set foot in the planet because of the blue light and all that stuff

chad and yandere twin

(or yandere twin channeling chad idk)

roasts coronabeer for her jewelry and the state of her hair

yandere twin says she didn't know coronabeer would be there and that "he" (I assume this is dr reverend emperor john) will think she went there on purpose

so coronabeer unveils her very sick girlfriend judith

yandere twin is like

coronabeer goes "didn't harrow tell you?" and yandere twin is all defensive "when did you talk to harrow?"

this situationship yandere twin has with harrow is very complex

yandere twin doesn't want to help judith

she says "Judith Deuteros, who, when we played Marry, Kill, Reanimate, you used to say reanimate because nobody would be able to tell the difference?"

(I need to make a poll with those options in a recap at some point)

coronabeer being all helga pataki with judith throughout her life is great

she was so doomed

I need more of that, I live for the coronabeer/judith ship

I was trying to explain why I like their dynamic so much and while I was writing it I REALIZED THAT THEY REMIND ME OF

YUZUKI AND MAKOTO FROM SKIP AND LOAFER

pretty, popular, extroverted girl who doesn't want to be reduced to her looks and gets infatuated with the strict, formal, overthinking student council girl, you get me??????

I'm gonna root for them forever

yandere twin wants to crush my hopes and dreams, though, and kill judith, because she's already been putting down necromancers

she's also very upset because the third doesn't care about her becoming a lyctor but are grieving coronabeer instead

a lot of problems would have been solved if these girls' family wasn't such shit

coronabeer asks about gideon and yandere twin says "so you remember her name"

yes, yandere twin, thank god we've moved on from that problem

our current issue is a clown car body of a girl

it seems that chad can get thoughts through to her, or so she says

chad's comments are about coronabeer's accessories, though

also, at this point, when realizing that it was chad's body, I also realized that's who palmolive called "handsome"

palmolive and chad, in another life, you could have been like coronabeer and judith, with an unlikely bond

apparently, yandere twin doesn't want to be seen as "the bad guy"

yandere twin alerts those listening that she knows coronabeer was wired and uses the link to establish her demands: the sixth oversight body (which is not the oversight of losing gideon's body), camilla and harrow "as intact as you have her at this moment"

meanwhile, camilla thinks coronabeer is trying to tell them something through the overheard conversation

yandere twin insists on how judith never paid coronabeer any mind and coronabeer tells her she's a dick

when they get in the facilities, though, there's pyrrha

remember pyrrha? here she was all along

yandere twin says she's taking her (she calls her "him" because I think she still thinks this is og!gideon and not pyrrha) back to dr reverend emperor john

"if Poppa can look up from his mid-dismyriad crisis long enough to pay attention"

SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT BEFORE SAVING HIS ASS

"You might be the Saint of Duty but I've been on call as Teacher's whipping girl for the last six months"

SHOULD👏HAVE👏THOUGHT👏OF👏THAT👏BEFORE👏SAVING👏HIS👏ASS👏

pyrrha also wants to kill judith, which is bad for me

leave that wet mouse alone

coronabeer asks if pyrrha told yandere twin about harrow and camilla

(I assume she means nona)

yandere twin says she has

is pyrrha triple crossing people? quadruple crossing?

acting like she's og!gideon in front of dr reverend emperor john was crossing 1, then she's acted like she's part of the gang as crossing 2, acting like she's actually on yandere twin's side is 3 and maybe being infiltrated here to pass on info or something would be 4

that's quadruple crossing

no wonder she was a cop

CHAPTER 21 (broken third skull, the girls are fighting???)

nona is happy that pyrrha's whereabouts have been secured

the rest, to her, is confetti

camilla tells we suffer that, all things considered, it all went better than she deserved

we suffer is having a mental breakdown because coronabeer has stolen judith and ran to her sister and they lost the bug they had on her

camilla advises her not to make nona angry and to scan for other bugs on the frequency

because camilla is wonderful and amazing and thinks of everything

camilla mentions nona, during her tantrum, attacked the guards with a chair with a two-handed grasp she never taught her

which is points for gideon in the leaderboard

but idk how ice cube barbie fought, it could also be her, for all I know

the sword was old and mysterious

it's not harrow because harrow had a toxic relationship with the sword

nona stares at camilla and "looked up into the eyes that used to belong to Palamedes, long before she knew either of them" and her nose bleeds

not sure who that's a point for

camilla and palmolive desperately want to talk to each other, which is so exasperating, poor babies

we suffer comes in all happy because camilla was right (did anyone doubt that?????) and there's a bug in the area

camilla assures her it must be on judith

I wonder where and how it was placed there

she also says nona was right about pyrrha giving them codes

and that pyrrha will do anything to get at the shuttle

palmolive and camilla switch again and nona has to update palmolive on everything that went on

nona thinks yandere twin wearing chad's body is coronabeer's boyfriend and is happy to know he's not

idk if she's interested in everyone romantically at the same time or she's not and that's how she expresses her feelings

palmolive introduces himself to we suffer and asks whether they'll give them the sixth if they retrieve gideon's body ("the key to the Locked Tomb")

I assume the bit about the key to the tomb was told to him via pyrrha, who's the only person with a memory present and aware at that time of the whole wake-augustine-mercygirl-emperor conversation

we suffer says she'll give him anything she can for the key to the tomb (including the sixth)

wild how the destiny of the universe was kind of hanging by a thread in baby blender's and kid jesus' playground in the ninth for a while there

palmolive thinks yandere twin is at a disadvantage with the limited abilities she has in the planet as well as with pyrrha, who he still completely trusts

palmolive doesn't know why yandere twin brought gideon along, he suspects it was to bait out harrow, but both him and we suffer need that bod

we suffer, because of the tomb

palmolive, because he thinks it will help nona survive, if that's her actual body, or the body of a part of her soul combo

he is more cautious than we suffer though, because she went from "we're en el horno" to "we've got this, team" real fast

and palmolive is like

palmolive is, though, very optimistic about his and camilla's chances of making this happen

or he's just risking it all for the sixth

when they switch, nona tells camilla that palmolive revealed it all to we suffer and camilla says "I don't know why I bother"

which is a mood

we suffer tells camilla that the whole sixth thing is complicated because BOE has factions that aren't always aligned and that wake could move them at will but she can't

I'm guessing they didn't know wake was having a close encounter with two sides of the same lyctor

camilla said she'd try to do it and we suffer goes "Palamedes Sextus thought you could"

if camilla is harmed here istg

I'm gonna eat these pages

I'm gonna rip them with my teeth and eat them

we suffer also requests that, if they leave planet, they take a package with them

unclear what it is

hope it's not a living being

or a kid, unless it's kevin

meanwhile, in the new audio coming from judith's intimates, coronabeer is talking to pyrrha and is upset that they're putting gideon in pretty dresses and parading her around like a doll

me too, actually, I mentioned it in the last recap

coronabeer is also disappointed that yandere twin didn't come for her specifically and it was only a mission to her

she missed you, though, back in the emperor's bolthole

between the lyctor orgies, the arm stuff, the nudes in the walls and the soup

yandere twin has apparently told pyrrha to not let coronabeer help judith

she starts doing a ward but also has time to both insult coronabeer's non existent necro abilities and act disgusted by the prospect of touching judith intimately

she also goes "What did Harrowhark use to always call you? Tortoise? Blorgus?"

is she trying to say "ortus"?

girl, I'm the one with the funny nicknames when the names are complicated, but ortus is definitely not

coronabeer wants to hear the whole story of the brain tampering that resulted in that

meanwhile, camilla seems to have de-coded pyrrha's message in there somewhere

and what she thinks is that nona is the key to something they want

which might be the body, but also who knows

camilla promptly asks for supplies because I think we're gonna try a heist!!!

a heist in which nona might pretend to be harrow?????

but A HEIST!!!!

love it for them

JOHN 9:22

"His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders, who already had decided that anyone who acknowledged that Jesus was the Messiah would be put out of the synagogue."

WELL, THEN

pov person who was called harrow but might not be entirely harrow talks about their regenerative powers

they seem to be walking in the ruins of the place where dr reverend emperor john used to reside

so like, post apocalyptic earth?????

are they astral projecting????

apparently, going theatrical and calling himself a necromancer did the trick to reach big audiences

maybe if one of the lyctors had been a marketing specialist, this would have taken half the time

"It even scared A— He was all, Matter doesn't play by these rules! You are doing bone parthenogenesis! I told him his mum did bone parthenogenesis. A— told me he'd kill me one day"

GOD, I WISH HE HAD

they're still going around the fact that, since he can't recuperate the soul, he can't really bring people back to life

he was happy, though, that some people showed up and were pushy enough to be shot so that he could witness people dying live

I'm glad it worked out for you, asshole

he also gets kind of hooked on witnessing violent death because of how it makes him feel

so, he just started killing people remotely

pyrrha shook him and stopped him and was like "what in the fuck are you doing?" and he gave a ukelele apology

"Guys as careful as you shouldn't have accidents"

when the cop is talking reason, you know how twisted things are

they brought in all the corpses for the "skeleton army" he was no longer joking about

pov girlie asks if he know what caused his accident and he said "guys as careful as me don't have accidents"

I don't want to kill him anymore

that'd be too kind to this man

that'd be too merciful, he doesn't deserve that

AND THAT'S IT FOR NOW!!! Sorry this was a long one again! These are taking so little time to read and so long to recap >_< I end up finishing them at ass o'clock and sleepy, but I wanted to get it out!! See you in the next one! Please be kind ♥

[urautismdiagnosis-wistie]

Headcanons about Shellington or Inkling? Maybe about their lives before being octonauts?

I'm going to make a larger post about the professor soon, but for now I'll share some more about shellington!

Here's a lil doodle of him and his sister pearl! Sorry if it looks kinda messy <:3

As mentioned in another post shellington has POTS in my misty memories au, and I'm making a post that explains a bit more about it along with a requested artwork but if I get something wrong here pls let me know! This starts out a lil bit rough but It gets better

🦦🦦🦦🦦🦦

Shellie grew up in a sea otter community where half of the town was floating homes and the other half was social areas and family areas in/on the water... falling asleep beneath the stars and all that yk? <3

Having POTS definitely would've made leaving his swimming sea otter community like.. really hard... esp if he wanted to get a higher education.

He always kinda felt bad about his disability growing up (not ashamed!) cuz his sister pearl would often try to stay behind with him or change her own plans for his sake, even tho she had older friends and interests that just weren't POTS friendly... not to mention alot of the sea otter communities games like wrestling and diving courses and races just... weren't really something he could DO....

🦦🦦🦦🦦🦦

pearl never minded or saw it as a pain because they were honestly both raised pretty well enough to communicate their needs and feelings. Eventually shellington did make a few close friends of his own tho,but even then he and pearl were always close and enjoyed eachothers company ^v^

his parents tried to support him physically and mentally-and shellington knew he was loved, but that mixed with autism really just gave him this sense of othering at times. They did talk to him about that and they worked on it through communication and helping him find his own "niche" so to speak. And he always made sure to support his family too, he's a very good listener after all.

He got to have good experiences and got to make mistakes, learn from them, and grow up accepted and cherished even if he just had to do things a little differently sometimes.

🦦🦦🦦🦦🦦

His dad was actually a jeweler that worked on a nearby shop on land and his mom did tutoring and was pretty active in their community.

Shellington was always in their local library researching creatures he couldn't find locally (creatures that traveled told him about so many interesting stories! His own parents used to travel alot before pearl and he were born and his old man would tell him tons of stories about their traveling adventures! And little creatures they met too) and drawing them.

Shellington loved to draw wherever he could and whenever he could and even won a few art competitions for youth through the years.

🦦🦦🦦🦦🦦🦦🦦

Eventually he got older and his passion for sea creatures grew even stronger and stronger, making him dive into a world full of aspiration of understanding them all on a deep biological cellular level.

(Especially since he was very aware of all the "amazing natural cures" that were just a bunch of bs, he'd rather do research to find real helpful uses that might ACTUALLY help people someday)

The word was just FULL of mysteries of so many creatures abilities- and he just wanted to solve them and understand them and SEE EVERYTHING! He even got to work in a lab thanks to his academic success.

🦦🦦🦦🦦🦦

It was that same passion that allowed him to excel and that same passion that lead him to being one of the first members (other than the captain tweak and inkling) to join the octonauts! He had a wide range of understanding and an even wider range of skills. Shellie understood creatures, the complicated webs and nature of ecosystems, and was deeply passionate.

So he did basically got his dream job!

And thats a bit of backstop for my shellie! Thoughts (and corrections/ suggestions for any inaccuracies ) are welcome !

[remcycleskip]

I got an ask about it and thus an excuse to yap about them, I think you deserve one too.

share your clancybearer headcanons now 🔪 HAND EM OVER

I was literally in the middle of reading your Clancybearer HC post when you sent this lmao

Uhhhh I think 99% of these are things we've already talked about, but I always like an excuse to yap about my boys. Plus I've been wanting to start posting tøp headcanons on here anyway :)

• So first of all, I am 100% a 'Clancybearer childhood friends' truther. Clancy and TB became friends when they were around 6 years old, but were separated when they were 8. Clancy forgot about TB after a while, and it wasn't until he spent a decent amount of time with the Banditos that Clancy actually figured out TB was the friend from his childhood.

• Clancy and TB both seem confident, but neither of them actually think very highly of themselves. They think very highly of each other, though. They both consider each other to be the coolest guy in the world lol

• TB and Clancy try to keep a professional yet friendly relationship with the Banditos. Despite leading a rebellion, neither of them like being treated like authority figures (TB especially hates it. Despite all his efforts to seem like a normal guy, the Banditos can't help but idolise him).

• They both love a good joke/harmless prank. Once Clancy gets comfortable interacting with the Banditos, he and TB become an unstoppable duo of pranksters. Every new Bandito falls for their bs at least once 😔

• TB has great people skills, and Clancy has abysmal people skills. But they're both really good with kids.

• They're both terrible at dealing with their own emotions/trauma/other issues. They want to help with each other's problems, but absolutely refuse to address their own.

• What Clancy and TB have goes beyond the concepts of 'platonic' or 'romantic'. They don't even need to label their relationship tbh, they're just soulmates no matter what the nature of their relationship is. But the Banditos start to assume they're in a romantic relationship, since there's only so much cuddling, kissing, sharing a tent, etc, that they can do before everyone else starts being like 🏳️‍🌈🤨???

Ugh I have sooo many more things I could say about them but these are just some that came to my mind right now :) I'm also purposefully avoiding my ✨angsty✨ Clancybearer headcanons because if I include those, we'll be here forever lmao. But maybe I'll post some of those at some point too >:)

[flowersandskeletons526]

I'm trying to put out at least a little Warriors content because the fic I'm writing is taking so long to finish so here. Rembrandt/Ajax headcanons for all my remjax shippers that followed me for that pairing:

Both of them have a bit of a jealousy issue. Not bad, but it's there, and Rembrandt is actually the one who's worse about it

Going off that, Rembrandt has a serious mean streak when she wants to let it out. We all know Ajax is quick to bite, but if Rembrandt is pissed, she's going to verbally eviscerate you and your entire bloodline (I think it was @asthedeathoflight who wrote in their fic "Ajax could never love someone who wasn't mean" or something like that and I took that to heart, please correct me if I'm misquoting or miscrediting that)

Ajax is the "tis but a flesh wound" type when it comes to her being hurt but the second that Rembrandt gets so much as a sniffle she's in full panic mode

I know their actresses don't have that major of a height difference but in my brain the characters DO because I'm a sucker for height differences

Before the events of the album (and the subsequent headcanon bs I've written afterwards) they only had a big argument about once every six months. The first time the other Warriors heard it they thought for SURE it was the end because to Ajax and Rembrandt, their arguing sounds like any other couple's arguing but to literally everyone else, it sounds fucking VICIOUS

(I don't know why so many of these are becoming sad but they are)

Before they got their own apartment that they later shared with Fox, one of the other Warriors *walked in* on them at least once, which led to Ajax trying to kill whoever didn't knock

Ajax mildly hates the fact that Rembrandt smokes (even though literally everyone else does it too) and tries to get her to quit multiple times

Ajax would propose to Rembrandt in a way where she doesn't even realize what she's saying until Rembrandt points out what it sounds like and Ajax is like oh fuck that is what I'm doing isn't it? Rembrandt of course would say yes

Aaaaaand that's all I've got for now

[burningcheese-merchant]

BurningCheese HC?

You gotta be more specific, brother. I have 400,000 headcanons for this ship at this point lol. I can probably sit here for 5 days minimum mapping out their entire relationship, both the SFW and NSFW side (again, I am a very dangerous person in my free time. No one ever succeeded in curbing my overactive imagination growing up and now look where I'm at lol)

I don't want to leave you hanging, of course. So I'll give you two, a long one and a short one:

Cheese Gang took some time to accept their relationship. Mozzarella came around first (and relatively quickly; framing it as a gamble Golden Cheese was making with regards to both her own heart and Burning Spice's character and integrity helped her rationalize and come to terms with it), and took on the role as relationship counselor/advice giver as she considers GC a sister and wants her to be happy, but mindful of her choices. Burnt Cheese was not happy; it was perhaps the first time he ever truly doubted his queen's judgment. But he has to trust her and what she thinks is right, both as her subordinate and as her friend... so he doesn't get in their way, and even comes to accept them eventually, but he always has his eye on BS just in case. Smoked Cheese was against this from day 0 and has repeatedly questioned and attacked GC's wisdom on the subject (as he is already wont to do lol). He despises BS and isn't so keen on forgiving and forgetting everything that happened (he's also aware that BS is crazy jealous, especially of him, which does not do anything to salvage SC's opinion of him). A day will eventually come when he accepts BS and his relationship with Her Majesty, but they'll never really progress beyond being polite and civil with one another (and more for GC's sake than anything else)

They used to playfully bicker about calling each other "babygirl" - they both wanted to be the one to call the other one that, and were very stubborn about ceding that pet name right to the other - until they just set aside their pride and agreed that they BOTH are babygirls and that's ok

[iamawerido150]

My Random headcanon for smokedtiger (smoked cheese x nutmeg tiger) may be out of character but I'm not known for my in character writing so yeah enjoy I suppose

from my redeem beasts au where they all have their own lackeys

• their both tsunderes nutmeg is more stubborn than smokes is

• nutmegs actually didn't realise she was in love with smokes until gumdrop pointed it out when she was venting to the other lackeys about him and had a 'oh fuck' reaction

• smokes realise his feelings for her faster then she did and had a 'oh my raidence why her!?' reaction

• They both are very stubborn both having egos that refuse to admit their feelings for each other until smokes accidentally admitted his feelings for her in the middle of a heated argument they were having they started dating right after that (while technically they started dating after he gave her the gold armband as like some kind of peace offering)

• nutmeg has zero to none relationships experience while smokes had a few flings but never a serious relationship this relationship is new to both of them

• smokes sometimes needs to force feed nutmeg food or she forgets because she's to busy training to be stronger

• smokes is taller than nutmeg and likes to relentlessly tease her about it

• early in their relationship nutmeg got very flustered anytime they did anything together either it cuddles, kissing or even hand holding made her full red but now she's used to it

• smokes is actually very possessive towards nutmeg he just doesn't show it often tiger is either not aware of it or she is aware she just ignores it as it embarrassed her

•they are both very passive aggressive to each other

•nutmeg moved in with smokes after they hit 1 year in being bf and gf

•they often argue who does the chores in their home

•before they started dating some cookies around them started shipping them because of their sexual tension and constant arguments

golden cheese was the first

• they both can cook and often make different meals as they have different tastes nutmeg prefers spicy foods while smokes prefer salty food but they have been trying to get used to eating each others food

• they still fight a lot but it often ends with them cuddling

• they both like to smell each other's scents it helps calm them down

• smokes has developed a good spice tolerance

• mozzarella and golden cheese both bet who was gonna confess first (mozzarella won)

• they both get jealous very easily but they won't admit it

• after a few years of living with the cheeses both bs and nutmeg would go back to beasts yeast as they can't leave their cookies forever so nutmeg and smokes would become a long distance relationship for awhile they often would visit each other tho

How they are with eachother friends:

•nutmeg dislikes burnt weary of mozzarella likes fettuccine and respect golden

•smokes dislike gumdrop confused by jester likes quiet annoyed by cloud haetae dislikes the spice swarm and hates burning

• smokes nicknames for nutmeg are: nutmeg/tiger,loud idiot,annoying,my annoyingly beautiful girl friend, bitch,stupid,idiot,my cheese and dumbass

•nutmegs nicknames for smokes are: smokes/smoked, arrogant asshole,my stupidly handsome boyfriend,my spice,dumbass,asshole and jerk

(may add more if I could think of more) (English is not my first language)

For the Favourites and Least Favourites- 1., 9., and 13.

@changelingsandothernonsense I'm sorry this took me forever, I've been having some emotional bs going on lately. But thank you for sending these to me <3 1.Meals/Dish

Rathas has a functional relationship with food, and he actually doesn't think about it much. Balancing his diet is important to him, and he doesn't have many sensitivities, although like most Dunmer, cheese and dairy are not staples, and he has a lower tolerance for them, especially soft dairy. He listens to his body and eats to fuel it so he doesn’t really have favorites because he doesn’t have that kind of relationship with food usually. He’s learning to slow down and appreciate it more thanks to Val, who is an appreciator of the finer things in life, but mostly Rathas eats to eat, when he needs to eat, and he doesn't think about it much beyond that.

That all said, he does enjoy the fresh baked strawberry danish his mother-in-law sends his husband (and now him) on their birthdays.

As for dislikes, weirdly, one of the first things I conceptualized about him is that he hates apples. He has such a visceral reaction against them that he will tell people he's allergic if asked about them (like if he wants one, or wants apple pie or whatever). He also doesn't like horker. Too fatty and too fishy.

9.Weather/Season/Month

It sort of depends on where he is at any given time. In Skyrim, which is now his permanent residence, he enjoys Summer and early Autumn because 1) they are warmer and 2) he likes the colors in the Autumn. All of the browns and reds and oranges remind him of home. In Morrowind, he likes Spring into early Summer, when the Telvanni grazelands are in full bloom.

He does not enjoy winter. He does not like being cold. He also doesn't like being too hot. Temperature is the one thing he's actually a total brat about. He has a very delicate temperature bubble between not too hot and not too cold. He will accept hot if there is a beach though. If the Altmer controlling Summerset weren't so terrible, and the man actually had time to vacation, he be down in Sunhold or Dusk, wiggling his toes in the sand in a heartbeat.

13. Exes

So he has one ex, technically speaking. Quite a few brief flings. Because of his complicated relationship with his mother, and his much more easy going relationship with his father, he tends to be more vulnerable with men than he is with women, and so the relationships he forms with men tend to be deeper. There are exceptions to this when the relationship in question is platonic, but for romantic pursuits, women are very much short lived, usually drunken hookups or women he shares a night with when he's traveling and working. Men have also been mostly short lived, but there's usually been a... deeper connection between them, if that makes sense? Just more emotional vulnerability. His mother Anara was a very hard woman, and showing her any emotion was met with a lot of backlash from her as a perceived weakness, which she tried very hard to train out out of him. That has kind of tainted any inclination to get emotionally close to women.

His only significant relationship has been with his commanding officer when he was with the Redoran Guard, so he doubles as both the best and the worst of his exes. It was illicit for a number of reasons: commander/subordinate dynamics, of course, but also because of sodomy laws being what they are in Morrowind. Since it's unclear what happened to those laws after the disappearance of Vivec, my own personal headcanon is that it is still outlawed. I think it makes sense, given the Dunmeri propensity for familial ties/hierarchies, great families and clans, and the already low Elven birthrates but I understand other people may have different takes on this. Anyway, that out of the way, Captain Danir Venim (Dani, affectionately) took an interest in Rathas because he was so dilligent and hardworking. Rathas felt like he had a pretty big debt to work off to House Redoran given events of his childhood which I talk about more here, and that made him exceptionally dedicated as a soldier, determined to upload the values and ideas of his house and make good while doing so. For Dani, Rathas was young, suggestible, and eager to demonstrate he belonged. For Rathas, Dani was handsome, mature, and encouraging. This made for a very heated clandestine affair that lasted pretty much Rathas's entire tenure with the guard, which was about 4 years. When they were discovered however, it was Rathas who took the brunt of it as the lower ranking soldier and already a bit of an outsider to his house, and he was given the option to leave the guard of his own accord, or have his status as a Redoran revoked forcibly. Dani, for his part, covered his own ass with no thought really given to what happened to Rathas. As with most people who abuse positions of power, Rathas was a convenience and once he stopped being convenient, Dani severed ties. Rathas still has good memories, and learned a lot about himself in that relationship, but at the end of the day, it was still predatory and ended up hurting him in the long run.

[a-legacy-not-to-be-forgotten]

Starlo for the characters!

Hell yeah, it's cowboy time!

Sexuality Headcanon: He's always given off Pansexual vibes for me.

Gender Headcanon: Trans man Starlo all the way!

A ship I have with said character: Staroba has pretty much always been one of my top 5 favorite UTY ships and that remains. I always have a bit of a soft spot for childhood friend romances, and the idea of Starlo and Ceroba understanding eachother and finally admitting their feelings for one another is just...mwah! Chef's kiss! Sometimes I self-insert myself in an OT3 with them, but I won't go there.

A BROTP I have with said character: I really love his dynamic with the Feisty Four. With their banter and shenanigans, and a pretty realistic falling out/getting back together, too! It's hard to explain, but I just really like Starlo's relationship with his pose.

A NOTP I have with said character: Ho boy, this is gonna piss a lot of people off...I am not a fan of Starlo x Dalv and it's grown stale over time for me. Before you crucify me, just note I am a man who's in a relationship with another man and Corn Yaoi just doesn't do it for me. I can get the appeal, but it just doesn't do it for me. Doesn't help that the ship tends to hold some of Ceroba's most vicious haters. Besides, I always saw Dalv as AroAce, so it clashes with my own headcanon on the guy. I can see the appeal if you like it, but I'm sorry, it just doesn't do it for me. I already removed the pairing from my SequenceShift AU for the reasons above.

A random headcanon: I get he's supposed to be, well...a star, but I like imagining a few reptilian traits on Starlo, mainly things such as a tail with a star on the end of it (give both him and Ceroba tails, dammit!) and scales. To my boyfriend and I, his patterns really reminded us of a desert collared lizard. No biggie if you don't see it the same way tho.

General Opinion over said character: Starlo is probably my second favorite character in the game behind the Roba herself and I really love him...but good fuckin lord, the fandom grossly misinterprets him as a character! Sorry girlies, but that is not just some silly, sexy Cowboy LARPer or whatnot. That is a man with some genuine issues that's driven him into being a reckless jerk, and him coming to terms with that is literally the best part about him! Guess that's the side effect of being a Tumblr Sexyman, ain't it? First Sans and now him. Fandom BS aside tho, he's still a great character.

Hello random stranger

So, 7tgh asks, here's an excuse to infodump about goths, fun facts, hcs, tibits about Kuro's pov and stuff, their stockholm with allforujiko, etc etc

Hey random stranger :P

Gonna keep it to Kurogiri since Dabi's your um I mean my co-author's guy

Kurogiri anatomy! 7TGH Kurogiri is based off of my headcanons I developed when we first got the Kurogiri reveal, so some things are a little out of date. I like Kurogiri more than Horikoshi does though, so I'm right and he's not. Kurogiri was implied to not have limbs in the USJ fight (image of its physical body below, as well as a chart I made for 7TGH) so I stuck with that. Blacked out areas are missing or heavily damaged from rubble and repaired with nomu-y bits by Ujiko

The device (which originally showed up here and I spent several days making hypothetically actually functional) connects to its frontal lobe on the right side, which controls movement, language, executive functions, social skills, memory, personality, emotional regulation, problem solving, and concious thought. While it doesn't control Kurogiri in the full sense of puppeting its actions and thoughts, it can force these if neccesary. Forced actions are carried out by the device sending electricity through wires going through its brain to activate the neccesary motions, but this is avoided when possible as it's hard on the body. More often, it punishes disobedient thoughts or actions with painful shocks, these carried through its collar to connect to more wires going along its nerves, increasing in intensity until prolonged disobedience causes seizures and mental shutdown (like what happened in Tartarus). It has its own train of thought even with the device, though its more programmed thinking is at the forefront. You'll all see more of that with Kurogiri having the device again now >:)c

Stockholme bs! Kurogiri's attachments to All for One and Ujiko are very different, both from how it vs Dabi feels about them, and how it feels about the two themselves. It is a lot less attached to Ujiko, hence it being a lot more willing to seperate from/harm him right now with its time away from all that in Tartarus. While Ujiko gets trauma bonds going with all of his patients in some way, shape, or form, Dabi is a special case from the rest. Kurogiri is, of course, a nomu though, and a very important one at that, so he sees a lot of the doctor. Any emotional obligation to him is out of threats by allforujiko or enforced gratitude for "saving his life". He really only saw Ujiko for a few hours on a monthly basis, so there's a lot less connection. All for One, however, has a lot of shit going on with Kurogiri (explored more here). Their relationship grew closer to domestic violence than kidnapper/victim over the years, with Kurogiri's device/other nomu stuff we'll get into later giving him pseudo emotions for All for One, Oboro's own tendency to go "I can fix him", trauma bonds enforced for the sake of making Kurogiri take care of Tomura better, and a lot of sexual abuse. All that to say, deprogramming from All for One's bullshit will take a lot longer

I think I yapped enough my bad

Some thonks about old headcanons and "Fankids or Zero Fankids" endings

TW: Miscarriage and Pregnancy talk

It's funny to think now I have it be that the moment Looker and Anabel try for a baby, pregnancy happen almost immediately for comedic effect.

I used to have it differently when I first started shipping them, actually. A lot of things were overly dramatic; eloping, going off the grid, etc etc. But one of the ideas was that Looker and Anabel trying to have a child together was turbulent and filled with so many "failed" attempts. Eventually this culminated in a miscarriage that kinda shook them both and put them in a rocky state of their relationship.

I... Do not like this idea at all nowadays. It feels like dramatics for dramatics, and a very surface level view on miscarriage.

Honestly? Through my point of view, I don't think Anabel would be hard pressed on getting pregnant quick or even have much of any grief from a miscarriage. Her and Looker wouldn't really be in any rush... Which also applies to the idea of "The Good Ending can be With or Without Biological Children"

Sure Looker noticing her pregnancy early is a bit of a jumping of the gun. but it's more like "HAHA MY INTUITION IS RIGHT, I still got it!" comedy. Both of them are very aware that early stages means that the embryo or stem cells could pull an oopsie. Like baking a cake, but forgetting a crucial ingredient. Nothing worth announcing until the embryo for certain has passed through critical forming stages without natural accidents.

Albeit, this is a lot of Vergo opinions and Vergo indulgence. I feel like if I were to go through a miscarriage, I would not feel all too upset. I don't believe that I failed, that my dreams were crushed, because my view on childbirth is that 'If I want one, I'll have one, but if it doesn't happen, I'm perfectly fine too.' To me, death is happening inside my body all the time; death blood cells, dead skin cells, death and rebirth and death and rebirth, a constant cycle. So.. I apply this to the characters I like and my view of fankids in general.

Of course, birth and kids is also part of the 'forced femininity' BS I encountered all my life from society, so I like having my own reigns on my own thoughts and feelings on this aspect of the human experience.

[chattegeorgiana]

Hello! Thank you again for always taking the time to respond to any notes I send, can’t wait to see what comes next! On your IG I noticed how Sakura’s Crown of the Sun seal reminds me of Hashiram’s warrior monk sage mode from a cosmetic pov. Which made me think about how you pointed out how Sakura is thematically a Senju or represents them in the overall themes of the story. Which leads to a head cannon I wanted to bounce off you. Shinachiku in other fanfics I have read he’s never written to have Sage mode which would be something that fits his universal traits given to him. From the show/manga I felt that Sage mode you a character who had the physical, mental & spiritual fortitude. Shina fits the bill but if he were to have a Sage mode it would look similar to Hashiram that way he’s not following directly in his father footsteps but it gives Sakura homage as Shina powers align closer to her. Which I like that Shina both in designs and abilities come from Sakura. It makes him unique not just to be another Naruto clone which only really works when you have a tragic backstory like him. My point is that I felt like Shina that warrior monk sage mode shows his duality as a character. He’s universally acknowledged as a skilled medic which implies he has a value and sanctity for life and seeks to prevent death and heal others but at the same time he’s expert hand to hand combatant and wields tanto blades which are specifically made for killing. It’s one of things I love about his character that duality, he’s both the yin and yang. Much like his parents. Sorry for the long paragraph I just enjoy sharing these thoughts!

Hi dear,

Welcome back!

I'll start by saying please stop apologizing for these long asks, I love them! Even if I'm not always able to respond right away to them, do know that I love getting them and reading them and exchange all these headcanons with you.

Makes my heart smile when I see someone is really analyzing Kaika in such a beautiful way. Feels like an honor, tbh.

Now to get to the actual point of the story...

First of all, Sakura's seal... well, there's a reason why I made that seal the way I did it. Those old theories of mine echoes so hard and far away, that nowadays they're used as commercial hook in the franchise.

And it's not the first time that I see in the franchise concepts that have been used that I talked about at some point in my theories.

One of the biggest I've seen is ironically the one theory that I couldn't recover after losing my blog 2 or 3 times already (lost the count tbh cuz when you have to build it from scratch every time, it's so tiresome honestly) called Spiritual Enlightenment: Sakura Haruno, Slug Sage mode and possible genjutsu connection.

Most of what I see in the sequel nowadays in terms of certain power-ups are mechanics that I've laid down in that theory that I lost.

Most will say that eh, I'm talking BS cuz I don't have that theory so I don't have a way to prove it. But the thing is, there are certain residuals/artifacts if you may say so of that theory around the internet.

So then, the reason I had her seal look like Hashirama's is precisely because I'm making use of my own theories in a way that I think Kishimoto wanted to develop Sakura, like I said so many times.

Now, as for Shina, the way I plan on developing him has connections to that and doesn't at the same time. I won't go too much into detail, but I made him that way because I wanted to have something unique to him, in a way, like you said. I don't want him to be a copy of anyone.

That's why some of the power-ups I have in mind for him are and aren't connected to that specific similarity. I have a little twist in mind.

But what I do have prepared for Shina, is the Heaven & Earth symbolism in his power-ups. He's not gonna necessarily fit the warrior monk archetype tbh. If anything, the monk type will fit more for Arashi, the way I have him built.

But, in a way partially, it will also fit with Shina. So you see, that's why I say that it is and it isn't at the same time. But I do get from where you're coming and I agree with you in the sense that Shina has respect for the sanctity of life. After all, he is very laid back and respectable like Katsuyu. That's why she becomes his favorite summon and always has a Katsuyu plushie haha.

The thing is, I built all 3 siblings in a way that fit certain themes and symbolism, but with a unique twist, I'd say.

For example one of Shina's power-ups is going to be tied to Hanami, and through that, Hanami also gets her own power-up. Arashi in a way is the one who's more hermit/monk like so his power-ups aren't tied directly to his siblings per se. But that's because I want Arashi to be more connected with the Uzumakis.

And I did all that because I wanted to have the family theme represented in more ways than one, which is the classic blood relation.

I won't go exactly into too much detail because I don't want to give away the "juicy" parts so to speak, haha. But I hope everyone will find it as interesting as I seem to be finding them in my head, lol.

Once again, thank you very much for your ask, it's really a pleasure to talk all these things with you.

Have an amazing rest of your day/evening/night.

[kanawolf]

My list of Rooks (current) + some added background details & headcanons

Under the cut (with their pictures after their info) cause this got long & I'm only through half of them

Pyre Ingellvar - Mourn Watcher, Nonbinary (they/them) Human, Mage

- a wisp of curiosity found them as a baby and led Vorgoth to where they were, nestled between a couple gravestones in the Memorial Gardens

- this is part of why the Memorial Gardens are they're favorite spot to chill out in

- Myrna was part of the group of necromancers who helped raise them, so she took on something like a distant older sister figure.

- Pyre doesn't remember this but they did actually call her sister a couple times when they were a small child. Myrna hasn't brought it up but does remember this fondly - Pyre nowadays would be mortified to call her sister since they're both adults and Myrna has far more status now

- as a teeny child they actually really enjoyed being held by Vorgoth. It didn't necessarily happen often, and they don't remember it really as an adult, but it was cause for a couple rumors back in the day

- their fascination with the necromantic fire in the Grand Necropolis led, eventually, to them being named Pyre

- they've never had a pet, a thing that is part of why they are deeply attached to Assan

- they were a mostly A/B student, an incredible feat since they tended to procrastinate a ton and bs their papers. It's where they got there 'fuck it we ball and will make this up as we go' mentally that they have during the game

- their hair naturally a more coppery color but they use magic and dye to give it he more pinkish appearance for fun

- do not allow in the kitchen (they can cook on a technicality but are more likely to set water on fire)

- the ADHD is strong with this one, alongside issues of fatigue (theorized to be related to being alone for an unknown period of time in the crypt before being found

Luka De Riva - Antivian Crow, Nonbinary (he/they (sometimes)) Elf, Rogue

- head empty, dumb of ass, pure of heart. He's a very good boi (gender neutral) who is super reliant on their instincts to carry him through his more "fuck it we ball" / "making this up on the spot bs" moments

- is Viago's favorite and genuinely doesn't know how but is deeply appreciative to him and Teia

- called Teia mom exactly 1 time and was so mortified he took a contract in Orlais because he was certain she would put him in the grave (she didn't, but she did insist he spar with her upon returning from his contract and put him in the ground soundly)

- has golden retriever vibes in terms of being relatively friendly and upbeat. This is not true in combat or when taking contracts - that's when a stone cold mask of focus slips on and he almost act like a different person. The switch back and forth between these two modes can cause others around them some whiplash

- doesn't remember how he got picked up by Viago & Teia, only knows that he was around 9 years old when his memories of living with Viago start. He has some blurry / patchy memories of living elsewhere beforehand, notably remembering that wherever he loved prior was very sunny and warm

- the only thing they remembers of their birth mother is her smile, the rest of her face blurry, but he's drawn what he thinks she might've looked like considering his own appearance

- they specifically like sketching stuff that they think are beautiful or things / people that make them smile (towards the end of the game, his little sketchbook is filled with sketches of his companions, especially Neve who he romances)

- knows some basic cooking skills but don't expect much

- does actually deal with memory issues to a degree due to some his coping mechanisms, getting slammed against a ruin wall by Solas' ritual exploding has not helped with this

Deirdre Thorne - Grey Warden, Agender (she/it/we) Human, Warrior

- Initially grew up in Tevinter to a military family, her family moved out towards Ferelden as a way to try and distance themselves from the politics of Minrathous

- Deirdre fell ill shortly after their move, and in an unfortunate chain of events, their new home was attacked by blighted mercenaries whole they were too weak to move. Her family actually survived the attack on the town, but she was injured and minorly blighted. A passing Grey Warden convinced her to join the order, saving her life

- thanks to her illness, she has to deal with muscle spasms on occasion (something she's trained around and to compensate for)

- her connected to the blight is a bit strange though and she describes it as both "the song of the blight" and "the voice of the blight", referring to the song and the voice as two different versions of the blight essentially. She'd practically personified the blight before joining the Grey Wardens, which is mostly why she refers to them differently

- this combination of thoughts and perceptions of the blight is the main reason why she sometimes refers to herself in the plural (we / us) and sometimes uses it/it's to refer to the self

- is relatively soft spoken when not in life threatening situations (aka the whole game basically) & generally prefers a more passive / peaceful approach to things when possible (pretty constant through the game too)

- this isn't actually the healthiest thing as she has a weird relationship to her anger and feelings of aggression due to not always being able to tell when it's her own VS the blight encouraging her into violence

- that being said, she also has no problem with using violence when necessary, she just has to be careful otherwise she gets to be a bit bruta in combat (moreso than necessary she thinks)

- loves dancing! Knows a basic waltz and will happily dance with anyone who wants to

- is a pretty decent cook! One of the few Veilguard allowed in the kitchen

Beauregard De Riva - Antivian Crow, Nonbinary (she/they/it) Human, Mage

- is naturally a blonde but uses dye to get the pinkish hair color and uses magic to make it last way longer than normal (they started doing this after they finished their training as a crow on occasion, but have since stuck to dying it consistently after being sent away from Treviso)

- has partial memories of their family and life before basically being abandoned in Treviso. They were scrounging around in the trash outside Viago's mansion when they were caught and brought to him, thus starting their apprenticeship

- is like 98% certain they're Viago's favorite (because of Teia, mostly) but isn't always sure due to self esteem issues & trauma but generally approaches him with a "I'm your favorite and I'm gonna be a gremlin about it" type of playful behavior (unless their confidence has dropped, then they just get real quiet)

- is practiced in dance styles similar to ballet, tango, and flamenco

- can cook like 5 different meals, can make tea, that's about it

- is fluent in the Thedas equivalent in sign language, a skill learned to help them cope with some minor hearing issues (Auditory Processing Disorder and ringing in ear issues - this is due the rescue mission with the Antaam that has Viago send them away for a bit)

- they also have chronic pain from their training as a Crow, it's something they've learned to live around, but events in game definitely put an extra strain on them that causes a couple problems

- likes to write poems when they can

- also has ADHD

Muted!Blue AU part 2

Okay, Reguri fans, it time for more of my mute!Blue headcanons. This time focusing on how he is with other gym leaders and some of the E4 members. This is how he sees them and things that happen while Red is on Mt Silver

Starting with Brock: Blue sees him like an older brother. When Red is away, Blue just wants to communicate to another guy his own age, and Brock is the closest to his age. Because their gyms are close enough, they meet up about once a week to just hang out.

Misty: Blue loves to tease Misty about her fear of bugs (I know that's Anime Misty, but this is my headcanon damn it). By showing her bug, Pokemon. When he isn't being an ass, the two of them have friendly swimming races. The current score is a 75 wins to Misty and 25 to Blue.

One time Misty had enough of Blue's bs, captured a Misdreavus and call it out right in front of him. No one had ever heard Blue scream that loud before and didn't talk to Misty for a month. They apologise to each other and promised to only verbally/sign tease each other about their fears. The older gym leaders do get tried of this and try to stop them, but together they are a pair of gremlins.

Surge: Blue thinks he's an asshole who is too full of himself and only ever talks to him during rematch battles. Surge doesn't know sign at first so Blue insults him in sign to his face. Surge soon learned and gives him a clip around the ear for being a little shit.

Eirka: No strong feelings. When they run into each other they exchange pleasantries but nothing more then that.

Sabrian: Blue loves having Mirror matches with their Alakazams. Despite being an early gym leader, Sabrian tends to win because she has a closer bond with hers while Blue's ace is either his Blastoise or Pigot

Janie: Since she became a gym leader shortly after he did, the two help each other out on tips on how they deal with different kinds of trainers that come to fight them. He jokingly calls her a nepotism baby due to how she got her gym. Red and Blue did hang out a lot with Janie during their journey since the boys would spend a lot of time in the safari so the three of them became friends during this time.

Blaine: Blue enjoys his over the top quiz loving attitude, but hates it when he forces it on Blue to get him to be more verbal.

The only elite four members Blue really knows is Koga and Lance. Koga is often telling Blue off for teasing Janie and Misty but Blue is a little shit and doesn't listen.

He does listen to Lance though who basically adopted Blue when he found out how much of a dick Oak was to him. After Red, Lance was the first person to find out how to tell when Blue is lying. (I'll get to that). Lance is firm with the younger gym leaders to keep them in check and and ensure they are doing a good job.

Now it's time for things Blue does.

1: He signs everything, no matter if he's verbal or not. This is from when he wasnt verbal so it's like second nature to him. Though when he's tired he sign stutters (I looked this up, this is a thing thought I'm not sure if sleep affects it)

2: If he lies his signing is slightly slower then normal. Not by much but Red and Lance have noticed and often calls him out on it. He normally lies about being a little shit to Lance and if he's feeling okay to Red. He can verbally lie just fine though. He has tried not signing while lying but that was a bigger give away. He doesn't know that's how they can tell he's lying. But he expects it.

3: He hates his hands being confined for too long because of point 1. To him it's the same as covering his mouth. He doesn't mind hand holding as long as one hand is free.

4: If he has a challenger on a none verbal day he forces himself to talk if they win. Thankfully for him it doesn't happen often.

5: For the first mouth of being a Gym Leader, he would fall asleep at the gym in his chair so he didn't get enough sleep. Daisy grilled him for this because his sign stutter got so bad during the day. Every so often, Blue does it again, but only for a night

6. He'll never admit it, but he loves it when Lance says he's doing a great job as a gym leader because it makes him realise how much Oak was a dick to him. And having a father figure give a damn about him really boosts Blue's confidence. Lance knows anyway but doesn't make a big deal, so the boost can be more natural.

7. He hums a lot when not speaking. Most of the time, he doesn't notice he does it. Sometimes it's just a small hum while other's it's drawn out. It's low enough that people have to be right next to him to hear.

8. During none verbal days if he wants to get someone's attention and their in the same room. He will grab hold of whatever their wearing and wait for them to notice. If it's important he'd tug hard.

Part 1 Part 3

This would be more polished but my computer has no Internet so I'm using my phone to upload this. I do plan on doing a post like this for Red but not as long.

ga'hoole fics masterpost

links to various ga'hoole fics i've written under the cut, includes published + WIP

i will always be here

-WC: 3,158

-status: complete

-summary: coryn is troubled by a great many things, and after reading the legends of hoole, one passage in particular causes him to question his reliance on his uncle—his main support in these new and confusing times. soren, of course, has a solution.

-notes: reread to be a king and thought a lot about that part where grank asks hoole not to call him "uncle", and how coryn would probably freak out a little (a lot) over that after projecting it onto his own situation. i personally hc that soren formally becomes an adoptive father to coryn so this is an exploration of that!

who i am today

-WC: 2,296

-status: complete

-summary: soren, while getting to know his nephew, discusses regrets of the past with coryn—as they prepare to turn towards the future.

-notes: basically just my take on why soren and eglantine weren't directly involved in the events of the hatchling/outcast, the guilt soren feels for not taking action, and resulting emotional moment between soren and coryn. owl family lives rent free in my mind

none but the forge

-WC: 618

-status: complete

-summary: a rogue smith is meant to be alone. gwyndor is no exception.

-notes: i love gwyndor and i love the depth gwynneth's existence in wotb adds to his character. what's his deal? how did he become a rogue smith? how did gwynneth I die? why'd he basically abandon his daughter with thora? just a short little headcanon backstory that answers these questions and explores gwyndor's emotional baggage.

blood moon lullaby (AU series)

WIP lutta lives AU turned alternate ending to ga'hoole. after a meeting with the spirit of hoole himself, coryn learns of great danger to come. the key to protecting owlkind lies within a hidden fourth volume of the legends, detailing the survival of lutta and delving further into her history, including her youth alongside her 'sister', kreeth's final creation. once he learns the rest of her story, the ancient spirit of lutta awakens to guide coryn, but she is not the only one who returns...

this AU is a huge passion project of mine since i'm a firm believer that lutta deserved a much better ending than she got! it involves an expansion on lutta's character arc and dynamics with other characters, canon-based original character, recharacterization of hagsfiends and their role in the plot (no more of that inherently evil bs), in-depth exploration of coryn and nyra's hagsfiend ancestry, and a completely new ending to ga'hoole itself.

there are/will be 4 fics in this series but only one is published thus far. progress is pretty slow but i'm always chipping away at it and hope to have more posted soon!

by the light of the ember (prologue)

-WC: 2,538

-status: complete

-summary: coryn has retrieved the ember of hoole—but with proof of his noble spirit comes the inheritance of an ancient legacy he has yet to understand. in a place where time’s flow stands still, a fated meeting with the first king himself reveals a great catastrophe to come.

of darkness and light (part 1)

-status: WIP

-summary: coryn is granted a vision by the ember that leads him to a hidden fourth tome of legends.

struck down by strix strumajen, lutta is severely wounded—wounded, but alive. managing to escape, she tends to her injuries as nothing more than an outcast. rejected by owlkind, yet disavowing the brutal ways of hagsfiends, she turns towards the only other living being she believes would understand—kreeth’s final ‘experiment’—and in the process uncovers a part of her past she thought she left behind. but when things don’t go just as she had hoped, and the threat of a new battle looms on the horizon, she is thrown into a conflict she never wished to happen as she struggles to prove that she is more than she seems.

in the shadow of the eclipse (part 2)

-status: WIP

-summary: lutta's spirit has awakened in the present, and now coryn and lutta face a threat all too familiar to both of them. with war imminent, hagsfiends on the verge of revival, and nachtmagen seeping back into the world, they must prevent the ember of hoole from falling into the wrong talons. or so they think—before coryn realizes what he must do to change the world for the better.

to dream of stars (epilogue)

-status: WIP

-summary: with the war of the ember's end, a new era for the owl kingdoms begins.

i can't summarize much else here without spoiling the whole ending rip

other WIPs

the blacksmith's collier

-status: WIP

-summary: soren finds himself drawn to one of the owls that helped bring his nephew to him, in a way he isn’t quite sure he’s ever felt before.

-notes: my beloved soren/gwyndor gay owl romance, full of loneliness, past regrets, and new beginnings!

to be a guardian

-status: WIP

-summary: coryn's arrival to the great tree has been heralded and rejoiced beyond his belief. but when the young king finds himself having trouble fitting in, soren thinks up a way to help.

-notes: it's always seemed that by becoming king, coryn just starts being considered a guardian by default. i think he would want to go through training and take the guardian oath just like any other owl, and soren would agree- thus i started writing something short yet emotional about it. it's almost finished but i don't know when i'll ACTUALLY finish it so... eventually

wolfspeak

-status: WIP

-summary: on a trip to the beyond together, gwyndor and soren chance upon someone unexpected.

-notes: more gwyndor/soren stuff! i think gwyndor would want to introduce soren to his daughter (gwynneth) eventually, but isn't sure how to go about it and keeps avoiding the topic. what better way to solve that problem than running into her by accident! takes place at the beginning of book 15, because i thought it would be cool to retell gwyndor hearing namara's howling, but with soren and gwynneth there. gwyndor and gwynneth both understanding what it means (which also showcases the similarities between them, distant as they are) while soren stands there looking confused as all hell is beautiful to me

more to come!
