#but questions and generally goofy asks usually does the trick

[dragonmasterhiccup]

(((psst. Having a bit of a day. Does anyone want to send Hiccup some silly anons to answer? Either silly or some genuine questions?)))

[seelestia]

YES YOU DID BAKE?? AND YOU BAKED WELL 😤😤 also yes!! navia reminds me a lot of a daffodil because of her sunny disposition and she's just so cute?? (i probably spend a couple hours poking around for a suitable color palette for my theme ajfjsj but for now im sticking with a cottagecore look)

same here! and speaking of puns, cyno is also very likely to enable the both of us given how goofy he is off-duty and the number of times i've made him absolutely crack after he admonishes me for distracting him ehehe. as for bedo, he finds them just as funny (and canonically does too EHE) and will often give this cute lil giggle sjdjksdhhs. lyney loves my puns as well and will openly laugh about it. tighnari will scold cyno for rubbing off on me oopsies. anyway, i have a sneaking suspicion ayato does enjoy your puns since they can be used as a good distraction if he's stressed eheh. kuni doesn't surprise me as much tsk-tsk (bonk him on the head for that /hj /aff)

bet heizou would take the chance to rizz you a little knowing his playful nature

anyway! i'm happy that i was able to help in some way eheh >:3 but yeah, assignments usually are the staple of college life but they aren't generally too bad? minus the 8-page research paper i have to write for my mass media survey class online and luckily i poked around for some sources beforehand i'm usually good about not procrastinating but sometimes i kind of just need to ease my head into the working mindset by texting on discord sjjfshhd but yea it can be painful 💀 (btw ur more than welcome to ask me more questions abt college if u want :>) and i wish u lots of luck too!

yk thats the thing with 'bedo, not a lot of people can catch his eye and i just so happen to get his attention. and according to him, he said that i "stood out in a way that added color to his world" EJFJRHJW. yk, i just let the charm come instinctively? i don't rlly have to do anything but i have been told by a lot of people that i'm cute/naturally pretty. but rlly i would just say be yourself c: as cheesy as it sounds but it works hehe. as for lyney, he does always makes some sort of magic trick out of it and frankly it always leaves me a puddle of melted goo on the floor because of how shy i am (tyty!! also yes im a sucker for softer-pitched voices)

hey i'm sure yato wouldn't mind spoonfeeding you when you're all groggy from a long night (dw im a night owl too i can relate) , but something tells me he won't let you hear the end of it if he does /aff. i'd scold wanderer for being mean to you /lh, but at least he's willing to cook for you! (malewife *coughs*) or yk give his ear a little tug when he tells you he'll demote you to the floor-

okok so by now i think you can tell that i'm an anthophile or yk, a person who adores flowers and hence why i live in a cottage doing forest witchy stuff over there with my greenhouse and garden ehsjdjs. but anyway, you kind of just gave me the impression of a camellia? (if you caught my little pun there) if that makes sense ehhe. also i thought of the kamisato clan crest as well bc thats a camellia too, tsubaki (椿) ehehe. anyway! i like that notion of wanderer picking flowers when he's out and about in sumeru, i think it shows that he does have a gentle side (not that he'd willingly admit it but it shows in his actions) and i think you should surprise him with a garden of your own! >:3

'bedo and lyney take turns making breakfast for me! they have the full intention of spoiling me even after i told them they didn't have to because i'm used to being on the giving end if that makes sense? but they're so sweet about it i can't say no >_<

NO CUZ THATS EXACTLY HOW IT IS WHENEVER MY BF AND I TAKE PICTURES TOGETHER,,like i really appreciate that he smiles genuinely at me only but i need to help him pose

if it helps, i'm only like a piece of furniture in family pictures because thats when i get all stiff and i hate it, and i mean i absolutely hate it, when someone moves my bangs out of my face because that's kind of like a introvert thing for me? kind of gives me a sense of security tbh

also im glad you loved the picrew!! you guys look all so cute together hehehe, i bet you had to get wanderer to smile a couple times bc of how grumpy he is /aff.

OOOO PRETTY !!! if not the bakery theme, i might've gone for a flower shop with sunflower & daffodils. navia just has sunny girl next door vibes! i feel like she can fit in a bakery or a flower shop or a fancy cinema LOL. her color palette just has sm potential, especially for vintage themes i think! speaking of: this is basic x100 question but what are ur fav colors? i thought it'd be cool to know regardless! i personally love muted colors especially if it's a shade of purple or blue :3

you're a good fit with cottagecore so i get why you're sticking with it (it's the fairy vibes) !!! - i think angelcore or even mermaid aesthetic would fit u well too! something fantastical oooOOoOo (jazz hands)

cyno being one of us 😔🤝 /lh LMAO i imagine tighnari is resisting the urge to twitch his eye for every punchline dropped. everyone else gets the deadpan look™ but vi just gets a flick to their forehead (and a soft one at that too #favoritism). UR RIGHT!!! sumeru gang x windblume event was so monumental bcs we got to know albedo is amused by jokes & puns LOL. lyney will be impressed and tease u like “oho, such wit! looks like you have what it takes to be a magician too?” he knows ur stage-shy, he's just teasing u bcs ur cute hdhhahs.

mhmmm he does <3 ayato just shakes his head fondly and asks if i've been spending too much time around “a certain oni” - he's joking but i think i sense incoming jealousy. /j it's fine, i am indeed used to being outbonked by wanderer and outrizzed by heizou. i am constantly being babied smh 😔 /hj BUTBUT circling back to the jealousy thingy, makes me wonder how does albedo & the others act when they're jealous? :o personally, for me and my sillies f/o's:-

ayato: if the other person isn't already intimidated by his status (“omg it's the yashiro commissioner! gotta bail asap...” <- an example LMAO), then he uses passive-aggressive speech with a formal tone and a sweet smile to spook them. afterward, 'yato pretends like nothing happened and keeps me within arm's reach until the end of the outing. (note: uses this as an excuse to have me wear the accessories he gifted me so it's clear i'm taken. OKAY SIR CALM DOWN I'M ALREADY URS /hj)

wanderer: struggles with it so bad. he's no longer as hot-headed as he used to be.... but the sight still makes him irritated. knows i can handle it but keeps his ears peeled (eavesdropping essentially) just in case. will step in if the other person crosses the line but other than that, merely gets grumpier afterward. how dare they interrupt his quality time—

heizou: turns up his 'friendly menace' vibes to the MAX!!! finds it amusing to see how i'm lowkey trying to tell the other person off politely but will invite himself into the convo for funsies. gets HANDSY like pulling me close and calling a pet name outright in front of the person. (“oh, hey, honey! there you are. i was looking for you everywhere.” “heizou—”)

OOOHH!!! i can see the “cute / naturally pretty” charm ur talking abt. even from across the screen, i think ur vibes embody that!! albedo has a discerning eye <3 my guy's master is literally related to khaenri'ah dwdw, i also think that “be yourself” is true in itself! that way, u can find reassurance in knowing that the people attracted to u are there bcs of ur real self and not a front u put on. (<- also sounds cheesy hdhhshdh) but for me, i was told that i have comforting or welcoming (??) vibes when i talk to people so i'm trying to gather pride from that ;(

MALEWIFE WANDERER YESYES!!! he'd be so good at house chores it's funny. if u scold him, he'd squint at u like ur a bunny (which u are! /aff) punching harmlessly at his foot but he'd turn to me and say: “hmph, you've got friends worth-noting at the very least.” THEN proceeds to drop u off (gently bcs he's a gentle person at heart uwauwua !!!) in albedo's hands and go toodles LOL. p/s: i like how a bunny fits u! heehee <3 and i've gotten 'puppy' before but i'm still unsure which animal would suit me in general T_T . should i retake my harry potter patronus quiz from years ago /j

CAMELLIA AHA I SEE U!! the camellia being a canon part of the clan crest's design makes me so <33 till this day. it's even in ayato's namecard uwaaaaa. ANYWAY i'd like to think that wanderer could be a florist in a modern au - “the sassy & grumpy shortie is the owner of a cozy flower shop?!” kinda thing PFFT. i think modern au's are pretty cute! it's fun to imagine and play around with realistic elements <3

AWWW THAT'S CUTE!!! i can also relate with being on / or wanting to be on the giving side 😔😔 my giving love languages happen to be acts of service & physical touch hdhwhsh. OH OH actually, this could be another fun question hehe (i hope u don't mind them): what are the giving & receiving love languages for u and ur f/o's + do the dynamics shift according to the f/o? wait, does the last part make sense?? ( ;´ - `;) help /j

[vrisrezis]

HI @vrisrezis! This is a long one but don't feel pressured to do it anytime soon. 🤗🤗

I can't stop thinking about this! Like in that episode in season 1, where Ichi is pretending to be Kara in front of Oso--would the NEETs ever, when stuck in a situation they can't be at an important date or appointment with their s/o, have their brothers stand in for them in order to save their own asses? And if they do, who would impersonate the other brother the best?

The biggest example I can think of is missing an anniversary dinner reservation because the Matsu bf got stuck in some crazy Matsuno madness lol.

Note: s/o gets really pissed off and upset when they find out that the sextuplets were tricking her. Like come on, that's their bf! Of course the s/o will find out the truth, especially with these goofy brothers

While Osomatsu is the most likely to do something like this, the bigger question is, what brother of his is actually willing to go along with this plan? Well, it’s actually totty because the eldest blackmailed him. Honestly, when it comes to the eldest I can’t see any of them actually wanting to help him out but the youngest is the best at this easily since he’s good at impersonating his brothers in general but you’re quick to catch on because he’s acting too.. weird. Talking about sex way more often than usual, it becomes apparent that it isn’t him. But he just gives you the “I’m sorry! Listen he was busy and didn’t wanna upset you by missing this! It’s not my fault you’re dating the worst of us!”

Karamatsu would NEVER do this. Unfortunately for him, he’d feel way too guilty about it. You’d think he’d be the kinda guy, since he’s referred to as shittymatsu for a reason, and he is not exactly a perfect angel all the time, but he seriously can not go through with it. Lying to you just to save his ass? Just no. I will say though that while all the brothers are horrible at impersonating him, Choromatsu does it the best. Unfortunately Choromatsu is a horrible liar, and ends up cringing at the shit he says.

Speaking of Choromatsu, this idea would have to be brought up to him by another brother of his. Most likely Osomatsu. He’d say how horrible that is but honestly would be down for it if it saved him any yelling from you or you being upset with him. Osomatsu is actually real good at impersonating him but he gets bored halfway through and ends up confessing “yeah sorry, guess your boyfriends just a dick?”

Ichimatsu would do this, but feel very guilty about it. He’d confess to you later that night about it anyways even if you didn’t find out so. Jyushimatsu is eerily good at his impression though, so it would actually be hard trying to figure him out.. well.. if it weren’t for the few times he’d crack into that Jyushimatsu smile of his for a split second.

Jyushimatsu is down for it, he goes to the brother he’s closest to, Ichimatsu! The youngest may have come up with the idea, but no way in hell does he trust him to do a good impression! He is making his poor brother suffer with this, it was bound to be a failure honestly. “Listen I don’t even know why he asked me to do this. But you and I both know this isn’t really like him. I just think you should not get too mad at him for this one.”

Todomatsus plan, as you’d expect from this little devil. He unfortunately had karamatsu do this job for him because no other brother could. It was horrible, and painfully obvious since karamatsu had very distinct eyebrows that he totally wasn’t jealous of. It’s not like he ever told you that either. Not like he told you he wished he had perfect brows like his. That’s totally not what gave karamatsu away.

Chores with the Akatsuki

Tobi Oh, Jashin ... nobody, and I mean NOBODY, wants ANY kind of “help” from Tobi regarding chores. The guy is as goofy and as clumsy as they come, and will generally end up creating more of a mess than anything he tries to clean. The rest of the group will play rock-paper-scissors to see who gets blessed with the Tobi-“helper” for the day ((and, sadly for Deidara, the rest-rest of the group arranges it beforehand so that the blonde will almost always lose)). Whoever Tobi ends up with, they will be sure to keep him doing the simplest tasks possible — and something that requires he stay in one spot, so that he can easily be kept an eye on. But still — once, Deidara had him sit at the kitchen table and polish silverware. He came back five minutes later to find that Tobi had somehow mistaken a container of Sasori’s hydrochloric acid for polish, and had managed to decimate the entire spoon population. And the table. And nearly his own fingers, before Deidara stopped him. And the saddest thing of all? Obito — is not that much better. Deidara Deidara is somebody who gets easily bored if he’s made to stay in one place too long, so he needs chores that keep him moving. His task of preference? Vacuuming. Watching him push the machine around is like watching a dancer glide around a stage; he’s swift, he’s graceful ... and surprisingly musical. He takes advantage of the vacuum’s roar to sing at the top of his lungs, without being criticized or told to shut up. One time Hidan pulled the plug while Deidara was singing, then proceeded to laugh himself sick the rest of the day over what he called Deidara’s “horny cat noises”. If vacuuming isn’t available he’ll also take mopping, although he doesn’t find this to be nearly as fun. Will sometimes put down wax on the floor and ask Hidan to come into room, so he can watch him slide across the floor and crash into something heavy. Konan and Kakuzu They both have the task of doing laundry, but different aspects of it. Throughout the week, every single member’s clothes become ripped, stained, burnt, bloody, and just plain messed up. Kakuzu is a masterful sewer, and he spends hours patching pants, mending shirts, and stitching up robes. When he’s done with his tasks, he’ll pass the clothes off to Konan, who will hand-wash everything. She’s the only one trusted to do this because she’s the most delicate ((and the clothes NEED the gentle handling; even with Kakuzu’s handiwork most things are ready to fall apart, but because Kakuzu is in charge of the budget, it’s always been the policy to fix rather than buy new)). For both of them, Hidan’s clothes are the hardest to deal with, as they’re always a gory, horrible horror-show. Konan also isn’t a fan of washing the others’ underwear, and these are the only items of clothing she’ll skip the soft touch treatment on and get through as quickly as possible. Zetsu Indoor work really isn’t his thing, so if it’s warmer weather, he’ll be sent to take care of the garden ((another of Kakuzu’s money-saving ideas; why buy food when you can just grow it at home?)). He weeds, he waters, he nurtures and nourishes ... but there is one danger in this: Zetsu has the tendency to get WAY too attached to the things he grows. Someone always has to trick him away from the house anytime something as simple as a few tomatoes or a bunch of potatoes are needed for a meal. Pein Come on, now: Pein is clearly the Supervisor of everyone’s tasks. Gods don’t do housework, after all. Kisame Kisame is a bathroom guy. He’ll get on his hands and knees and scrub until you could eat ice-cream out of the toilet. Everyone is always very impressed with the work he does; just looking at him, one would not expect him to be so neat and meticulous. He’s also the only member of the group who doesn’t mind when he gets saddled with Tobi, as he shows a surprising proficiency at being patient and giving Tobi things to do that the guy can actually handle. Kisame has a very strong sense of smell, and will complete his tasks by lighting scented candles or incense; which Hidan makes fun of

but the rest of the group appreciates.

Sasori

Sasori hates menial tasks and unnecessary labor, so he utilizes his puppets to take care of anything that he’s assigned. Washing windows seems to be what Sasori enjoys making his minions do the most; he likes to test how many puppets he can control at one time, inside and outside of the house. If in a rare (or bored) mood, he will take on the task of dusting. He always has to get up on a chair or a box to reach the tops of things, but nobody dares to laugh: Hidan made this mistake once, and ended up with Sasori’s purple poison shooting down his throat before he could finish his “Awww, look at the tiny little fuck-face standing on the —“. Also likes to mess with Deidara when he’s vacuuming by crumbling up some bread, sprinkling it on the carpet and then informing his partner that he “missed a spot, brat.” Multiple times.

Itachi

Itachi likes to wash the dishes. Seeing the dirt and grime being scrubbed out of plates and cups and pots and pans, and then washed away by the cleansing hot water, is extremely satisfying to him. The only thing he finds unpleasant about this task is that all that time spent in running water really chips the nail polish on his hands, so nearly every night he’ll have to apply a fresh coat. Like Deidara, Itachi also enjoys singing while he works; although his comes in the form of soft humming or murmuring. If asked what he’s crooning, he’ll answer that it was something his mother used to sing when she did chores when he was a kid, which always ends the line of questioning. Is mostly mild-mannered but is also the type to get extremely irritated over having done the dishes, then coming back later to find a single cup in the sink.

Hidan

Hidan is almost regarded as being at the same level of (in)competency as Tobi. Not because he’s foolish or clumsy, but because he’s careless and always in such a hurry to be done that his work is sloppy and half-assed. More often than not Kakuzu will have to nag him or follow behind him to ensure that he does everything properly. If Pein is particularly mad at him for something, he’ll assign the immortal to extremely finicky, time-consuming tasks, like pressing, ironing and folding the laundry after Konan washes it, or cleaning the pantry, or neatly arranging dishes and glassware in the cupboards after Itachi finishes washing them. When done with his own work, he likes to run around causing problems for the others; usually calms down after Kakuzu knocks his head off (literally).

Fire Lily | Pt. 10

warnings: none ig?

Eventual Zuko x Reader

a/n: sorry it took me so long to get this up! I took some time with my family over the holidays and struggled a little to get back into Writing Mode. This chapter is very focused on Y/N, and at this point she’s basically blocking out thoughts of You-Know-Who. She’s got more important things to worry about. Also, I just feel like Sokka and Y/N would vibe. I think anyone who would end up with Zuko would have to get along��really well with Sokka. Anyway, enjoy!

Fire Lily Masterlist

Y/N found ways to be useful and tried to stay distracted. It turned out to be very useful, having a firebender on their ship. And, as it turned out, Y/N could make a career out of acting. Even Toph said so, which Y/N felt was quite the feat.

There were, of course, whispers about her. Y/N wasn’t stupid. She knew that not everyone trusted her. But Katara seemed to, for whatever reason, and Sokka was slowly coming around. Toph already liked her well enough.

“Where’d you learn that?” Toph asked Y/N as they sat in the small room that they shared with Sokka and Katara in the belly of their ship. “I’ve been meaning to ask. I recognized your bending. Those are earth bending forms.”

“I wondered why they weren’t so… Ka-pow!” Sokka punched the air for emphasis. Sokka tended to be very goofy, Y/N had noticed in the past few weeks aboard the ship. But Y/N could also tell he had a tactical mind. Sokka was crazy intelligent; you could tell even from his nonsensical rambles.

“My father gave me an earthbending scroll when I was little.” Y/N thought back to the moment. It had been a surprise when he came back from a visit to the city. “He thought it might help me, even if it’s not the same kind of bending.”

Y/N didn’t mention that she spent most of her time neglecting practicing. She didn’t want to firebend at all for a long time. But in the past few weeks, the others had needed it. So, Y/N delivered. Casually lit a flame in her hand to trick enemy ships.

Y/N didn’t want to admit it, even to herself, but it felt good, even in small moments.

“Well, it sure does work!” Sokka replied, putting his arms behind his head as he leaned back on his cot. “You know, Fire Girl, I wasn’t sure what to think of you at first, but you’ve really helped us out.”

“Thanks.”

“Yeah, it’s been great kicking some Fire Nation butt with you,” Toph agreed. Sokka and Y/N laughed. There really hadn’t been much butt-kicking, but it was a nice sentiment. Y/N had mainly stood back and let the others lead the way when they’d captured the ship from Chameleon Bay.

Sokka had actually offered to spar with her with the hook swords. Y/N had declined for the moment. She kept the hook swords underneath her cot. She’d have to rely on what bending she could do, for now.

“And,” Sokka added with a smile, “I think we look great in the armor.”

It was nice, Y/N thought, to sit and laugh with Sokka and Toph. They didn’t trust her completely yet, and with good reason. But Y/N had a feeling that they could get there.

And it was nice to laugh despite their situation. Aang wasn’t awake yet, and Katara spent every moment she could by his side when she wasn’t providing the ship with fog cover. But here she could light the lanterns and take a minute to laugh. It was almost better than the tea shop.

Almost.

Y/N tried not to think about Lee—Zuko. She had to keep reminding herself about that. He wasn’t her friend, not really. He wasn’t from the Earth Kingdom at all. He was Crown Prince of the Fire Nation. A firebender. And apparently obsessed with hunting the Avatar, as Sokka kept saying.

The Avatar. Y/N hadn’t been there when it had happened—when the lightning struck Aang down. Azula’s lightning, and Zuko had joined her. Y/N’s sadness and anger was almost overshadowed by heavy disappointment. The boy that she had known was grumpy but kind as well as caring. She remembered the careful hand he’d placed over hers. Lee would’ve jumped out of the palace with Iroh, and she would’ve followed him. But Y/N knew Lee was gone.

“The armor isn’t very comfortable,” Y/N noted, leaning back on her cot and enjoying the feeling of her light clothes after a day up on deck.

“Sometimes you have to suffer for fashion, Y/N,” Sokka joked. “Speaking of fashion, I think we all need some new clothes. You guys stink.”

“Speak for yourself.” Toph reached over to punch Sokka in the arm. Y/N laughed. Sokka wasn’t wrong—she was wearing the same clothes that she had been when she went to the palace in the first place. While they had been washed, they had definitely seen better days. There were a few tears in the sleeves of her dress, and it was stained with dirt, and the neck was starting to stretch out.

Y/N was grateful that they’d managed to find her a pair of pants on board, although they did look a bit ridiculous with her rag of a dress over it. The apron she had was tossed overboard shortly after they had reached the boat. Y/N might have set it on fire first, but that was nobody’s business.

Y/N had trouble sleeping on the ship some nights. It was always rocking at least a little bit. But she had a cot and having other people in the room turned out to be a comfort. There was the constant rhythm of Sokka and Toph’s breathing, and then Katara’s when she would finally slip in after hours spent watching over Aang.

Y/N’s months spent traveling felt so far behind her, but she could remember when she had to sleep outside on the ground, sometimes in the middle of the woods, if soldiers were nearby. Luckily, lighting a fire was always easy, if not terrifying. Y/N curled up under her blanket and let the soft sounds of the ship lull her to sleep.

“You’re a liar. If you would have just told the truth I would still be here.” Y/N recognized the voice, but she couldn’t see it. Everything was dark. Her hook swords were in her hands.

“Why did you have to let me take the fall?” Jet’s voice whispered.

“I didn’t mean to,” Y/N called back, desperately. “I didn’t mean to!”

“Y/N, calm down!” Suddenly, her brother was in front of her, holding out a hand. Y/N looked down and saw the molten metal of the hook swords dripping down onto the dirt, handles charred beyond repair.

“I can’t,” Y/N’s chest heaved. “I can’t.”

“Listen to me, Y/N,” Bihun said, stepping closer. “I don’t have much time.”

Suddenly, Bihun’s hand seemed to begin to fade, bits and pieces of it seeming to float off into the air like ash.

“Y/N, look at me.”

Y/N finally tore her eyes away from the burnt handles of her swords and met her brother’s eyes.

“Boiling rock, Y/N. Don’t forget it.” Bihun’s entire right arm was gone now, grey bits of ash floating through the air. Bihun smiled kindly, and Y/N wished so desperately to reach out to her brother, to hug him, but her feet felt stuck to the ground. “Now wake up.”

---

Y/N awoke, sweat sticking pieces of hair to her forehead. She wiped it away. Y/N was startled as she noticed Toph standing over her.

“Finally, sleepy head. Up and at ‘em.”

“Yeah, yeah.” Y/N swatted, pushing her blanket off of her before standing. “Where are we today?”

“Heck if I know,” Toph responded, turning away to lead Y/N out the door. “That’s a Sokka question. I can’t see anything past this ship.”

“Am I up on deck again?” Y/N asked, changing the subject.

“You’re the only firebender we have, Y/N, even if you aren’t very good,” Toph stated in answer.

Y/N frowned at the slight insult, although it was true. She knew little beyond a few earthbending forms, but she was the only firebender on the ship. If they came across other Fire Nation ships, she was their best shot at convincing them to let their ship pass.

“Go get your gear on,” Toph said, pulling her own brown cloak over her head. Y/N was a bit jealous of Toph’s very lightweight disguise—the first time she put on the Fire Nation armor she had almost fallen over. She also wanted to puke a little bit when she saw herself in the mirror.

After a solid ten minutes of struggling—a great improvement from the twenty it had taken the week before—Y/N placed the heavy helmet over her head, opting to keep the face plate tucked away in a pocket for now. She didn’t particularly like having her face covered. It made her feel less like herself and even more like a Fire Nation soldier, although it did come in handy to have her facial expressions hidden when they came across other ships.

Y/N made her way up to the top deck of the ship with only slight difficulty. The Fire Nation armor was much more mobile than she had imagined.

Y/N blinked at the sudden brightness of the sunlight streaming down onto the ship. The open ocean was already enough to deal with, but no one had ever said anything about how hot metal ships could get with the unblocked sun shining down on them all day. Luckily, Katara seemed to be periodically dousing the deck with sea water.

“Y/N!” Sokka called, walking over to where Y/N was standing. He was also in his Fire Nation get-up, but he wasn’t wearing the faceplate either. “Ready for another day?”

“Sure,” Y/N deadpanned. “It’s too hot to function.”

“Where’s that fiery spirit, huh?” Sokka grinned, bumping Y/N with his elbow. “Get it?”

“No,” Y/N lied, trying to ignore the terrible joke. “Do you know where we’re at?”

“Not really,” Sokka admitted. “My dad tried to describe the general area to me, but I haven’t spent enough time looking at the Fire Nation maps.”

“I’m just glad we’re through that pass,” Y/N shuddered. “As long as we don’t go back there.”

“Yeah, the Serpent’s Pass is… difficult,” Sokka agreed. “Keep an eye on the water and let me know if you need anything, yeah?”

“Yeah,” Y/N nodded. “Any news on Aang?”

“Not yet,” Sokka frowned. “But I have a good feeling about today.”

“Sokka!” Hakoda called from across the deck, waving an arm to beckon his son.

“Duty calls!” Sokka dismissed, turning and leaving Y/N to look out onto the wide expanse of sea.

The one advantage of Y/N’s position is that she wasn’t usually asked to do many chores. Not that she would mind helping, but Hakoda had said that they never wanted to have to struggle to find her if they came across another ship.

The clear sky clouded halfway through the afternoon, darkening the sea beneath them and turning the sky a depressing gray. “What was that about a good feeling?” Y/N asked Sokka nervously as he came over, three scrolls tucked under his arm.

“It’s not storming, is it?” Sokka pointed out, sitting down on the floor of the ship, armor clanking. “Look at these maps with me.”

Y/N hesitantly took a seat next to him, sliding the helmet off of her head to wipe the sweat from her brow. She enjoyed the cool breeze that swept by. Sokka took his faceplate out of his pocket to put on the edge of the scroll to hold it down.

It was a map of the Fire Nation, Y/N realized. The country was shaped almost like a loop of islands, Y/N realized, with the capital city of Caldera, home to the Fire Nation palace in the center of it all.

“We’re about here, I think.” Sokka pointed to a blue spot on the map, just off the shore of the Earth Kingdom.

“By the colonies,” Y/N realized, gasping lightly. She hadn’t realized how close they were to her home.

“Yeah,” Sokka said nonchalantly, before seeing the look on Y/N’s face. “Are you okay?”

“I hadn’t realized we were this close. I used to live there.” Y/N pointed to another spot on the map, her finger nearly touching Sokka’s on the scroll. “Just a handful of miles north.”

Y/N stood, looking to the north. Land was just barely visible in the distance. Somewhere on that piece of land, a little way inland, was her parents’ home. She briefly wondered if they were still there.

“That’ll be our first stop after the invasion, then,” Sokka offered. “Well, maybe not the first stop. But it really would be a good waypoint on our way to… whatever’s next.”

“What is next, Sokka?” Y/N asked. She surprised herself with the question. She realized none of them knew what a life without the war was like. Even when Y/N was too young to be aware of it, it had affected her.

“I’m not sure,” Sokka admitted, looking at Y/N with kind eyes. “But’s it going to be awesome.”

“Do you know what ‘boiling rock,’ might mean?” Y/N looked back down at the map. It was silly, her dream wasn’t real. But weirder things could happen, she was sure.

“I don’t know. Maybe it’s a landmark of some kind. But it’s not on this map.” Sokka recognized Y/N’s expression fall. “Sorry.”

“It’s alright,” Y/N assured him. “Just thought I’d heard of it somewhere.”

---

Y/N was not prepared for when the Avatar stepped out onto the deck that night. She had been the only one who hadn’t gone to visit him while he was out. She felt like it was wrong. She didn’t really know any of them well, least of all Aang. And Katara watched over him like a hawk. Y/N felt like she needed the privacy.

Y/N also did not take into account how Aang might react when she casually lit a torch for Hakoda with her firebending. She hadn’t thought of how backwards the Avatar’s world would seem when he first awoke. It was weird for all of them, but at least they were conscious for most of it.

Y/N sat with Sokka and Toph as Katara spoke with Aang and brought him back inside for another healing session.

When the Avatar resurfaced again, Sokka brought Y/N and Toph over to where Aang and Katara were sitting to explain the invasion plan.

“We’re working on a modified version,” Hakoda added.

“It’s Sokka’s plan,” Katara snapped before turning back to Aang. Y/N had sensed some tension between Katara and her father since arriving on the ship—she had seen the other girl storm off a few times. It appeared that she wasn’t wrong.

“Yes, Sokka’s plan,” Hakoda looked at his daughter out of the corner of his eye, a confused look on his face. “We can’t execute a massive invasion without the Earth Kingdom’s army, but the Fire Nation is still vulnerable.”

“So, we’re planning a smaller invasion,” Sokka explained. “Just a ragtag team of our friends and allies. We’ve already found Pipsqueak and the Duke.”

Pipsqueak and the Duke waved from where they were chowing down on noodles a little way across the ship.

“And our biggest advantage is we have a secret… you!”

“Me?” Aang blinked.

“Yep!” Sokka said proudly. “The whole world thinks you’re dead!”

Aang’s face paled. The Avatar stood quickly and ran to the side of the ship. Y/N wondered if he was about to be seasick over the side. She averted her eyes. Sokka stood to go and reassure Aang.

Y/N looked out over the ocean on the other side of the ship and noticed the shadow approaching. “Hey, there’s a ship!” Y/N called. Sokka and Aang turned around to look.

“I’ve got this.” Aang’s glider snapped open. “The Avatar is back.”

“Wait!” Katara rushed to Aang’s side. “Remember, they don’t know we’re not Fire Nation.”

“We’ve got it,” Hakoda said, putting a hand on Y/N’s shoulder.

“I hate not being able to do anything,” Aang muttered.

“Don’t worry, buddy,” Sokka reassured him. “We’ve got a firebender on our side.”

“What?!?” Aang looked around frantically. Y/N gave a shy wave. She’d have to explain that later.

Katara helped Aang and the others get below deck as the ship came into view. A man in a uniform matching Y/N and Hakoda’s called out to them. Y/N took the faceplate out of her pocket and slid it into place.

“Commander, why are you off course? All Western fleet ships are to be moving toward Ba Sing Se to support the occupation.”

“We’re from the Eastern Fleet, actually,” Hakoda corrected. “We’re delivering cargo.”

“Nice of Admiral Chan to let us know…” The Fire Nation commander replied. Y/N got a sinking feeling. They weren’t convinced.

“Are you questioning my authority?” Y/N called out, praying to the Spirits that she sounded confident and in-charge.

“Who exactly are you?” The commander questioned. Y/N thought of a lie—a Fire Nation name she had heard from home.

“Captain Yai,” Y/N replied as smoothly as she could manage. “And who are you?”

“Commander Muso,” the man replied. “I didn’t know Admiral Yai had a daughter.”

“I didn’t know our army promoted insolent men to command,” Y/N answered.

“I didn’t know our army promoted a girl to command,” Muso sneered. Y/N dared to light a fire in her palm and watched as Muso recoiled.

“I would hate to have to issue a challenge, Commander. Be on your way.”

“Yes, of course, ma’am.”

“Captain,” Y/N corrected.

“Yes, Captain,” Muso amended glumly, motioning to his men. Before long, the Fire Nation ship was pulling away. Y/N let out a breath she hadn’t known she’d been holding.

“That was awesome, Y/N!” Toph cried as the others emerged from below deck.

“Thanks.” Y/N smiled.

“And that was a really lucky guess with Admiral Yai,” Sokka added.

“I know!” Y/N felt the excitement catch up to her. She had been pretty cool.

“Nice work, Captain,” Hakoda praised, giving Y/N a pat on the shoulder. Y/N smiled as the Fire Nation ship faded out of sight.

Hawks NSFW Alphabet

Sexual content ahead! :D please don’t read if it makes you at all uncomfortable and you are not over 18+ thank you!

A = Aftercare (what they're like after sex) this man loves to cuddle. Once he's finished, he'll sigh in relief and happiness and just flop on top of you or beside you. He'll whine a bit for you to play with his hair, and with a roll of your eyes you gently run your fingers through his hair looking at his long eyelashes and dark markings near his eyes. Once the relationship is really far along, he'll let you stroke his wings while they're spread out and laid on the bed while he's asleep.

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner's) Hawks likes his arms and hands. Though he's not extremely muscular like All Might or Endeavor, he's got just enough. He likes to roam his hands over your body and hear you comment how warm they are. Makes him feel happy. It's the small things. He loves your eyes. From the moment he laid eyes on you your eyes were sad, and he wanted nothing more than to brighten them up. Just seeing your eyes glimmer with love for him makes his heart soar out of his chest.

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically) he's a raptor, and will claim his territory and let everyone know what belongs to him. He'll gladly cum inside you. Luckily you always have "Plan B" in your nightstand just in case he gets a little too carried away with it. Especially when he's happy, he'll definitely come home and cum in you lots and it fills his chest with pride knowing you're his. When he’s in rut though, prepare yourself, it’ll be a bumpy ride.

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs) He wants to "mate" with you like a red-tailed hawk. They mate for life and in the air. They lock talons and spiral before they break apart. Unlike that, he wants to just fly out of his apartment with you and officially mate with you like a real hawk. After that, expect a lot of talk about having little chicks and making a nest.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they're doing?) he's young and handsome, of course he's probably had some experience. He's quite lazy and carefree. He has indulged a couple people in flings, but never once stayed long or felt the slightest bit satisfied. But with you, he becomes a mess. He's never composed or slow (cumming wise). He's always quick to cum and satisfied greatly.

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying) because of his large crimson wings, he has to be on top in order not to hurt his wings since they're sensitive. His favorite position of all time has to be doggy. Or having you on his lap. Grabbing your hips tightly and just hearing the wet sounds gets him off. He also likes missionary just to see your lewd face calling to him. Sometimes he'll let his feathers roam over other parts of your body like your breasts or down to your lady parts. Don't worry, they're clean.

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.) He is very goofy in general and has a very laid back personality. Of course during the moment he's a little more serious and wanting to pleasure you both, but all leading up to he's very goofy. He's also the worst person at making puns, all of them have to do with birds, or chicken. "Mmm, you're almost as tasty as Yakitori~!" "I'm gonna make your insides like a scrambled egg, baby~" Needless to say you need to get used to bird puns.

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.) He's carefree and doesn't really care what people think, but if he knows for certain you both will be doing it, he'll make sure it's at least cut down and groomed for you. He didn't care what others thought, but with you, he gets a bit embarrassed. At least he won't have his jacket on to hide behind the lengthy collar to mask his flustered cheeks.

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect) you can always tell how he's feeling by the faces he's making. His eyebrows are always scrunched with that really fucked out look in his eyes. His lip is usually between his teeth, showing you just how good you make him feel. He loves to kiss anywhere on your body he can get to while panting praises in your ear about how amazing you are. Right after he cums he'll shake a little with his wings spread to the fullest and shaking a bit, and right when they slump down in happiness and exhaustion he'll tell you he loves you, and cuddle.

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon) he'll do it if you aren't around, or not in the mood for sex. If you're busy he'll whine and plead for you to at least help him a little with big puppy dog eyes. When you decline, because you're busy, he'll just jerk off right there on the couch for you to see and hear him. He'll purposefully be loud and call your name to try and bug you, needless to say it works 90% of the time. If he's away doing hero work, he'll text you straight up and say he's horny and wants to see you. If you're not working or out and about, you'll indulge him and sext him, or FaceTime him and have phone sex.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks) He has a breeding/mating kink. Because his quirk is mutant type, he has some characteristics of a hawk. And he always loves to bring up that Hawks mate in the air together. Sometimes when he's really wanting to "mate" with you he'll jump off the balcony and do a couple cool tricks to impress you. It's part of a small courtship thing hawks do. He loves to bring up Hawks mate for life, so when you finally agree to have sex with him while he's flying (if you do), you'll be stuck with Hawks forever. And you bet he'll be jumping your case about having little chicks and getting married.

L = Location (favorite places to do the do) in the bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, balcony, couch, basically anywhere in your home, even by the door. Occasionally if you have to bring something to his office, he'll either bring you over to his desk, the couch, or against the glass windows where anyone can see. You always scold him later about being caught and ruining his image. He always says he doesn't care and cuddles you.

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going) your hips and your breasts turn him on to no extent. If you're in his office and you leave, your hips swaying when you walk, he'll quickly fly over and pin you against whatever he can find and have his way with you. He doesn't care what size your breasts are, he loves sucking on your nipples. He's convinced that milk will come out of them one day when you have "hawklets" or "chicks" as he calls it. He can't wait for you to be pregnant. It's part of the bird in him.

N = No (something they wouldn't do, turn offs) hurt you, anything that can hurt you or him is a huge no no. Also fire, he won't do fire at any circumstance. Since fire is he weakness, he doesn't like being extremely alert when he's spending these moments with you. He wants to be relaxed and at ease with you.

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.) 50/50. He likes when you give it to him, especially if it's on the couch or in his office under his desk. It's hard for him to keep himself composed when you're down there. You'll notice his wings twitch and fluff up when you're making him feel the best. He likes giving it to you because usually when he's down there, he thinks that your juices are practically chicken sauce, because he thinks it tastes good, when really it's not like chicken sauce at all, of course not. It's his favorite thing to eat besides chicken.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.) he's too fast for his own good, but in the bedroom he's always slow and rough, taking his time to savor your body rather than being done with it extremely fast. If you beg him or get him extremely riled up, he'll indulge his animalistic side and fuck you like a real beast. Your legs will be like jelly when he's through with you.

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.) because of his hero work he's not opposed to quickies, however sometimes he doesn't care about some of the jobs he's assigned or gets someone to cover for him and then goes straight to you. If he has to leave in five minutes and he's horny, you best believe he'll make you both cum in three.

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.) he's willing to try anything if you want to. He's pretty lazy and carefree and doesn't really worry about you leaving him. His possessive side would definitely activate if he were to believe you were getting bored of him. Low key wants to have a threesome with endeavor. Watching his idol with his girlfriend would probably make his day. But of course he'd be beside you the whole time and teasing you and the No. 1 pro hero.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?) he's 22-23, his sex drive is almost as high as a teenagers. On average, you have sex almost everyday, sometimes two or three times if he's feeling rather possessive or missing you too much. Occasionally you won't have sex and instead have a romantic date or just laze around. It's his favorite thing to do.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?) he's bought a few toys for you, and bought some for himself when you tagged along. Sometimes he'll make you wear an apron that says "mama hawk" and nothing else and put a vibrator in you. He'll be hugging you from behind and grinding on you just to make you plead for him. When you want to use the vibrating cock ring you got him, he whines and begs you not to, but you stand your ground and he's a loud whining mess.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease) Hawks loves teasing you. He's playful and will ask you all sorts of embarrassing questions to make you beg for him. He knows your limits, so when you've had enough of his teasing he'll know and get straight to giving you what you want.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.) usually very vocal. You've gotten a couple complaints from neighbors in his apartment about you both being too loud. 9/10 it's usually him that's the loudest. He has a sensitive body and is weak to pleasure. Especially when you touch his wings. Where his signature crimson wings meet his pale back is where he loves it the most. He'll groan and grunt, and his pants are usually quick desperate and loud. "It feels good! So damn good! Ngh~! I can't get enough! Hah! Hah! Ahh I'm cumming! Wait!" Sometimes makes you wonder who's the real woman in the relationship.

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character) Hawks likes fashion, and has made a couple shirts and designer jackets. He loves to order them and make you try them on for him and do a little fashion show. He'll be watching you intently with his eyes sparkling seeing you walk around in something he designed. Sometimes he collabs with Mirko, and gets a little jealous when you wear it around. He only wants you to wear his stuff. It also always makes his heart flutter hearing you praise his designs. He loves it when you're proud of him.

X = X-ray (let's see what's going on under those clothes) he's muscular but not too over the top big like all might and endeavor. Love part wise... he's average. A little on the thinner side but has absolutely flawless technique. He knows where you like it, how to make you cum the fastest, and always seems to find your G-spot in a matter of seconds. He's quite talented.

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?) he's 22-23, his sex drive is through the roof. He knows he's attractive and likes when you compliment him. It feeds his big ego. "Awe come on, babe. I know you want me! You're hot, I'm hot. Let's date huh?" No joke, that's a line he used on you while flirting with you trying to get you to date him. It sorta worked.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards) when he's finished with sex for the night he will fall on you or beside you and mumble he loves you with a cheeky smile before sprawling his wings out and going to sleep. His wings are warm and almost like a blanket. So sometimes when his wings are largely draped over you, you'll cuddle to his wings and stroke them gently before falling asleep protectively under his fierce wings.

[90s-belladonna]

Question... Would you be willing to do a Toshinori Yagi NSFW alphabet??

yeah ofc! honestly I’ll write for any character except for like mineta lmaoo. okay so I’ll do this based on his current age in the manga since I feel like younger toshinori didn’t date much / have many hook ups since he was v busy being the symbol of peace and all, so I hope you don’t mind?

NSFW Alphabet: Toshinori (All Might) Yagi Edition

A = Aftercare (What they’re like after sex): his aftercare includes not letting you lift a single finger! If anything needs to be cleaned up he’ll handle it. He’ll rub your lower back afterwards and praise you for a bit before finally cuddling with you and falling asleep. btw he may be a giant but he loves being the little spoon.

B = Body part (Favorite body part of theirs and also their fave body part belonging to their partner): he’s pretty self conscious in his small might form but slowly you’ve gotten him to really love his cheeks, just the way you kiss them and whenever you compliment them like “geez toshi you could be a model with those high cheekbones of yours!” it’s just the little things he enjoys. as for you, he thinks you’re absolutely perfect but if he had to pick his favorite physical feature on you it’d probably be your thighs, not for any inappropriate reasons either. since he’s mainly all bones due to his deteriorating health, he likes that you’re plump, it reminds him that you’re healthy unlike him.

C = Cum (Anything to do with cum basically): if you two are going raw he’ll pull out and cum on your stomach but usually he issues a condom. although if you suggest anything he’ll try it! btw he doesn’t really like having you swallow his loads since he thinks it’s rude towards you so if you like that you’ll have to explain to him why so he can be open to it.

D = Dirty Secret (a dirty secret of theirs): he kind of wants to try something risky, maybe having sex in a public place or somewhere you two might get caught. he’s still not sure on exactly what he wants to try, but he wants to show you that he can keep up with your young energy. He’d also like to cum inside of you but he’s to timid to voice that opinion.

E = Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what they’re doing?): despite being the great all might he doesn’t have much experience other than a few hook ups and quickies back in his heyday, but with constantly battling evil he didn’t have time to learn a bunch of tricks or build a relationship so he’s still relatively new to everything. thankfully with your guidance he’s been a quick learner.

F = Favourite Position (This is obvious): he loves when you ride him while facing away from him, he loves when you lean back so he can kiss and suck on your neck while you please yourself on his length.

G = Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment, or are they humorous): he’s definitely a bit goofy, yeah he’ll be shy at first but once he gets comfortable with you he’ll live to make you smile.

H = Hair (Do they pull it and do they like having it pulled / How well groomed are they, does the carpet match the drapes): he doesn’t like having his hair pulled or pulling your hair since he thinks he’ll actually hurt you, he doesn’t yet understand that a little pain is sexy, I’m not saying I agree but I understand his reasoning. as for down there he kind of sucks at keeping it well groomed since he doesn’t know when to time his grooming schedule so he opts for doing it twice a month, which makes his downstairs a bit messy.

I = Intimacy (How are they during the moment?): he’s very generous and romantic, he’ll make sure to make every moment for you special and remind you just how much he cares for you. you’ll often find him admiring you with lovey doves eyes when he’s going down of you.

J = Jack Off (Masturbation): despite his soft demeanor I feel like he’d be the type of guy who masturbates whenever he’s stressed out just to blow off steam. he’d be too shy to ask you for help unless you accidentally catch him. “toshi you know I can do that for you right? it’ll probably feel much better coming from me too. I’m your partner you shouldn’t be timid with me when it comes to things, especially something as natural as masturbation.” he’d be under the impression of that old school thinking that believes masturbation is wrong, but talking to you will really help him realize that there’s nothing wrong with it at all.

K = Kink (One or more of their kinks): praising & maybe a tiny bit of an unexplored daddy kink. he doesn’t have very many kinks since he doesn’t have much real experience with sex, especially sex with someone he actually cares about. he’s open to anything you suggest, he isn’t one to judge.

L = Location (Favourite places to do the dance with no pants): he lives for sex while you two are taking a bath together. He’s the type of guy to prepare a flower petal bath with tons of candles for the both of you. An innocent massage from him will instantly lead to sex.

M = Motivation (What turns them on): if he catches you biting down on your lower lip that automatically awakens something in him. if you sit on his lap he gets embarrassed as to how quickly dirty thoughts begin to run through his mind. Whenever he catches you being sweet and parental with his ‘adopted’ children his heart will literally skip a beat.

N = No (Something they wouldn’t do, turn offs): he would never hurt you or do anything without your consent, in fact he asks you multiple times “is this okay love?” “Do you like that?” Because he never wants to put you through anything you don’t like.

O = Oral (Preference on giving or receiving, skill, ect.): he definitely prefers to receive since it doesn’t take much skill on his part. this can go one or two ways either 1. he’s received blowjobs before from a few one night stands so he understands the drill or 2. you’re the one to give him his first blow just and he’s just like ‘this is a thing that people do? I like it but it’s a bit odd’ in his head. he wouldn’t even think about giving you oral until he overhears Mic or Midnight talk about it during one of their happy hour meet ups. he’d be embarrassed for not offering before and will attempt to do it only to fail at first. “Awe toshi! don’t be discouraged. if you really want to do this I can guide you or we can watch something together that will help you get the hang of it yeah?” you’d offer which he’d agree to since all he ever really wants is to please you and make you happy.

P = Pace (obvi): he’s very gentle and slow, he’s got a certain rhythm that makes you feel like he knows exactly what he’s up to. When he senses you’re close to having an orgasm he’ll slowly speed up and make sure to hit all your sweet spots, his hands tend to roam through out your body so expect a few gentle squeezes to really throw you over the edge.

Q = Quickie (Their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often would they partake in one?): he actually really likes them but he tries not to partake in them too much so you don’t feel objectified.

R = Risks (Are they open to experiment, do they take risks): believe it or not he’s actually very open to risks and wants to try riskier things, he’s just a bit timid when it comes to bringing it up. (gn/nb/male readers feel free to ignore this part) please give this man a baby! He really really wants to be a dad and wouldn’t mind risking a pregnancy but he just doesn’t know how to bring up the whole baby talk. there’s just so much he didn’t get to experience in his prime due to being all might all the time so he wants to have all these experiences now with you!

S = Stamina (How many rounds can they go for, how long do they last): okay so if you’re in control he busts within twenty minutes but can go about six rounds. however if he’s in control he can last up to an hour but only go a round or two but he makes it count.

T = Toys (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?): he doesn’t really know much about them but is open to any suggestions from you, he’s really passive and not one to judge so everything is fair game.

U = Unfair (Are they a tease, if so how much?): he loves teasing you with his fingers, unknowingly he’ll often overstimulate you to the point where you’re a whimpering mess.

V = Volume (How loud they are, what sounds they make): expect lots of small moans from him and little gasps. he’s the type of guy who will reassure you of your worth and tell you how much he cares about you while he’s balls deep in you. “I love you so much (Name)” he’ll whisper in your ear. “you’re the most beautiful person I’ve ever encountered.” he’d whisper before pecking the tip of your nose. When he’s about to cum he lets out a few really deep moans that only serve to further turn you on.

W = Weird fact (Self explanatory): he’s a true bottom / sub and won’t ever try to take control unless you specifically ask him to. he isn’t confident in his skills in the bedroom so he much rather follow your lead. that being said he’s a very gentle and sweet lover.

X = X-Ray (Pretty obvi): he’s tall asf! we we’ve established this, so you know what’s also massive... even in his small might form he’s on the thicker side and is packing 10.5 inches when soft and 11 when hard so like rip to you since his fingers are also huge, there’s really no escape, this man will 100% break your back like a glow stick.

Y = Yearning (How high is their sex drive? How often will they want sex?): he’s pretty tame, he’s in love with you and your body so he obviously wants sex more often than most people but not as much as some of the other bnha guys, he’ll probably ask you for sex maybe once a week, twice on average if he’s feeling extra confident.

Z = ZZZ (How quickly they fall asleep afterwards): he actually stays up for a bit, he doesn’t like falling asleep before you, he likes to know you’re safe and well rested!

SPEAKING OF LAUGHING JACK FLUFF- whenever you're not busy writing something else, can I get some LJ fluff? I'll accept anything I just need m o r e, sick day fluff, general fluff or s/o, comfort fluff, crack fluff,,,anything just LJ fluff ily and I need to keep loving my man

I had some trouble coming up with ideas for this ngl but then my brain went "how would LJ react to a human asking him out on a date?" And I went with that 😌 hope you like it. It's- actually not that fluffy when I read back over it but....still got a lotta goofy clowning so, I think it counts!

You’re obsessed with him.

You see him every few days, down the local park when you’re out taking a walk. He’s always in the same spot. The children’s playground, surrounded by smiling kids while he gives out candy and balloons and does tricks for them. It’s impressive, honestly, how he’s able to do everything he does. He holds the kid’s attention perfectly, he always seems to have what they ask for just- hiding in his puffy sleeves, he plays the accordion and sings in an angelic voice, creates amazing balloon animals and juggles- oh god the juggling, it’s unreal how much stuff he can juggle at once. Not to mention how flexible he is. You’ve seen him do all sorts of tricks like cartwheels, somersaults, flips and god knows what else. And he has the biggest, brightest smile you’ve ever seen. When he smiles it lights up his whole face and spreads to everyone around him, not to mention his laugh! He’s the funniest guy you’ve ever met, and when he laughs it seems to make everyone around him feel better.

His name is Jack, and you’re hoping to catch him again this evening. He usually leaves just as it’s beginning to get dark, so he’ll probably have more time to speak with you once the kids are gone. There’s so much you want to ask him- he’s fascinatingly weird. You’ve begun to think of him as some kind of supernatural being rather than a cute street performer. You laugh a bit at the thought.

As you approach the playground you glance around. Finally, you spot him. Wispy black hair, feathered shoulder pads, and striped socks. Jack certainly knows how to make himself stand out, as if his height wasn’t already enough. He doesn’t even need bright colours to stand out- in fact he avoids them and wears only blacks, whites and greys. Another thing to make him look weird. Maybe even a little monstrous.

Jogging over to the playground’s entrance, you lean ever-so-casually against the gate and wait until he walks out, past you. You watch him for a moment, admiring the way his hair bounces as he cheerfully strides along. You lean off the gate and walk after him. ‘’Hey, Jack!’’ you call out casually. He stops and looks over his shoulder, blinking at you. Then he smiles wide.

‘’Oh! ‘Ey there!’’ he turns around and waves slightly as you walk up. You can’t help but smile gently. He has such sweet, innocent eyes. They’re a bright blue colour, and always full of emotion. ‘’y/n, innit?’’

You laugh gently. Oh yeah, he’s british. Very british. The thickest accent you’ve ever heard. ‘’Hey.’’ you greet. ‘’Heading home?’’

‘’Yup.’’ he tilts his head at you, his hands on his hips. ‘’Wha’re you up ta?’’

‘’Oh, uh-’’ you panic for a moment. ‘’I was heading home too! Heh- mind if I walk with you?’’ you ask quickly. He smiles.

‘’Course ya can.’’ he turns around and gestures for you to follow. Perfect! So far so good. You stuff your hands into your pockets trying to be casual, and stroll along beside him. He looks down at you and smiles.

‘’How was the day?’’ you ask. ‘’Business good?’’

‘’Ah yeh,’’ he runs a hand through his wispy black hair. Everything about him is fascinating. His outfit, his makeup, his entire persona. ‘’I wuz doin’ candy ‘n tricks t’day. Thos’re some’ve my fav’rites.’’

‘’Oh yeah?’’ you tilt your head at him. ‘’You’re pretty good at your circus tricks. Where’d you learn em?’’

‘’Oh! Uh- jus’ picked em up hones’ly. Lotsa practice over th’ years.’’

You smile. ‘’Huh.’’ he always seems to...dodge questions. ‘’So- where’d you grow up?’’

‘’London.’’

Alright that’s the answer you expected. Next question. ‘’So is this performing thing your fulltime job?’’

‘’Yep!’’ he seems to become excited. ‘’Makin’ kiddos ‘appy is wha’ I wuz made fer!’’ he laughs, a raspy joyful noise that makes your heart flutter. "Me mum always said I wuz like a daffadown dilly, hah! So 'f course I became a clown, heheh."

You have no idea what that means but you laugh with him. "Your mom said you should be a clown?"

"Yup!"

"Yeah mine too, but only when she was mad at me." You grin at him. He breaks into a wide grin and then wheezes loudly in amusement. Perfect, you made him laugh! He snickers and looks at you again. God he's adorable when he laughs. Which is good, because he does it a lot. "So- how'd you come up with the costume?"

"Oh! Er- jussa lo'a mixin' an' matchin'. I already 'ad black 'air an' a lo'a striped fings so I er- jus tossed i' all together." He seems to become fidgety at the question. Odd. He coughs. "So wha' abou' you?"

"Me?"

"Yeh," he nods and smiles at you. "No' often some'ne who isn' a parent asks me abou' me act. I've seen ye a few times b'fore, so ye seem ta like me." He smiles at you. Shit. He has you completely figured out, doesn't he? Well...alright then. You take a deep breath before responding.

"I...find you interesting." You finally answer. He cocks a brow at you. "British guy who performs for kids and does tricks in a big heavy costume- who wouldn't be interested in learning more about him?"

He laughs gently. "Ye like me fer me accen'?"

"It's a bonus." You give him a sly smile. He laughs again and glances down. "So...what do you do on your off days, Laughing Jack?" He seems surprised at being called his stage name.

"Oh! Er- …'uman fings." He responds nervously. You snort, then crack up laughing. He laughs along with you, still sounding nervous. You had no idea he'd be so easy to fluster!

"Alright then...how about next time you're doing human things, I come along with you?"

"Eh?" He seems surprised and confused.

"Y'know- we could...get coffee or something…?"

He blinks, then his eyes widen. His mouth opens as he suddenly realises that he's being flirted with. "Oh- oh! Er- uh-" he blushes a light pink beneath his makeup. "Ye'd wanna...g-go ou' wiv me…?" He sounds like he can't quite believe what you just asked him. You nod. His blush deepens, and his shoulders arch up, burying his face in feathers. You laugh at his embarrassment. "A-ah...I see." He gulps and peaks out at you from beneath feathers. God he's adorable.

"Doesn't have to be coffee, if you're not into that."

"Nah, nah! I like coffee." He coughs, clearing his throat. He suddenly stops walking and looks at you. "Can I er-" he seems completely out of his depth here. You absently wonder if he's ever been flirted with before. "Can I getcher number?"

Score! This is exactly what you'd been hoping for! You reach into your pocket and pull out a small slip of paper you prepared earlier. You wrote your phone number on it earlier in hopes that he'd ask for it.

"Here you go." You say with a smile. He quickly steps forward and takes it, looking down at the small scrap of paper like it's the most important thing in the world. He slips it into the pocket of his shorts and nods at you, still looking surprised and worried. He forces a smile.

"Righ' then." He finally says. "I'll er- I'll text ya la'er an' we can arrange ta ge' sum coffee." His smile is flustered and his eyes are shining with excitement. You nod.

"Sounds good." You step back away from him and give him a small wave. "I'll see you soon, Jack."

"S-See ya!" He calls after you. You walk a little bit away until you're out of sight, then double back from behind the cover of trees. Just as you'd hoped, he's still right where you left him, staring in the direction you just went. Even from your hiding spot you can see his blushing face and wide excited smile. He suddenly jumps on the spot and looks around excitedly. He buries his face in his hands, crouching down slightly. You frown. Is he- shaking?

Jack suddenly explodes back up into the air, his arms stretching out more than they realistically should. He lets out the loudest cry of excitement you've ever heard and bounces on the spot, giggling to himself like a schoolgirl. You grin in amusement and watch him cartwheel over toward the forest, still making loud noises of excitement and joy. He spins and flips, then disappears into the trees. You snort.

He's...so weird. And somehow it just makes him more loveable.

Chapter 1 • Chapter 5

"What do you mean finally?! This is bad. Really, really bad Ned. I shouldn't be thinking about her like that!"

"Dude, it's your feelings. You're gonna feel whatever way you do. You can't control that stuff."

"But this could ruin our friendship. I don't want that." Peter whined over the phone as he put his hand over his eyes, laying on his bed.

"Or~ maybe this could all work and you could score a girlfriend." Ned suggested, amusement laced in his voice. "I mean, I didn't want to be the first one to say this, but..."

"What?"

"Let's just put it this way. She's always had a cute heart. Over time, her heart got cuter and went straight to making her face kinda hot."

"Ned." Peter frustratedly said.

Ned gave him a goofy laugh. "You sound like your getting jealous or something."

Peter quickly sat up. "Do you think that'll happen?"

"Probably." He said nonchalantly. "All seriousness Peter, you should go for it. I always thought you two would be good together. There's just something there, trust me. And hey, you two could be the amazing spider couple. That'd be awesome."

"Spider couple." He smiled and laid back down. "You think people would make that, like, a ship name for us?"

"Dude, you could have a super girlfriend. How awesome does that sound?!"

Peter let out a chuckle. "That does sound pretty cool. Okay, thanks for the therapy session. Night Ned."

"No problem. Night." And with that Peter stayed up to think about you some more.

The next week at school went horribly. All Peter wanted to do was spend more time with you, but you kept pushing him towards Liz at gym class and in Mathletes. He felt so jealous whenever he saw you goofing off with Ned. You were a very touchy person, and every warm hug to Ned felt like Peter's arms were getting colder.

When Liz was finally busy, he went over to you and sat a little closer to you than usual. "Hey Peter." You greeted brightly. "Any progress?"

"On what?" He asked dumbly.

"Liz." You said quietly.

"Oh!" He voice cracked and cleared his throat. "Oh. Um, not really. I think I'm done for the day."

"Aw, Peter!" You rubbed his arm. "You shouldn't give up on stuff that's important to you."

He sighed, glancing at Ned's confused face. "Can't I just spend the rest of the day with you?"

You smiled and nodded, patting his cheek gently. Peter's phone buzzed and it was a text message from Ned.

Not Guy in the Chair: Why didn't you tell her how you feel?

He glanced at you working on your notes.

SM: I don't want things to be weird.

Not Guy in the Chair: The truth will set you free 🕊️🕊️

SM: Shhhh

You then took out left over brownies for Peter. He gladly took one as Flash came over, taking one out of the container as well. "Hey babe."

"Don't touch my stuff and never call me that." You closed your container and put it in your backpack. "What do you want Flash?"

"Just making sure you got a hot outfit for the party. Finally gonna show some skin?"

"I do have a costume. Peter was with me when I got it too. We had a lot of fun." Peter looked at you and smiled.

Flash then rolled his eyes. "Really? How could anyone ever have fun with Penis Parker?"

"Well we do." You tugged each boy at your side into a side hug. "Do you have a special trio that would do anything for you?"

He nervously scoffed. "I have more than two friends. Does every friend seem special to you when you're not popular?"

"If you called one of your friends in the middle of the night and told them to come over cause you're sad, would any of them do it?" He was silent as he looked down. "That's a special friend. Now goodbye."

"Y'know—"

"Good. Bye." You pressed, frowning.

"I—"

"Dude," MJ interrupted. "Know when you've been beat. Walk away."

He then did so, stomping away. You smiled and looked over to MJ. "Why do we not talk to each other?"

"Cause you're a loser." She said, matter-of-factly.

Though Ned and Peter have her a confused frown, your smile only widened. "What are you?"

"Friendless."

"Not anymore!" You exclaimed. The teacher then announced that the club session just ended. "We'll see you at lunch tomorrow then."

She stared at you for a moment. "...Okay, I guess. Bye." You could tell that she held back a smile as you excitedly waved at her before packing up.

You and Peter were walking home, when he asked about MJ. "I don't know." You said, shrugging. "I just feel like she's cool. My spidey senses can feel it."

"You say that about everything." He laughed.

"Because I'm always right about everything. It's a given." He chuckled again. "C'mon, don't you ever have intensified feelings about some things or people?"

He awkwardly smiled and nodded, looking away from you. "More than I should." He mumbled.

"Hm?"

"I said I should hope so."

"Well then, see? I'm right again." You grinned.

"Did your spidey senses feel that too?"

"Yup." You both chuckled.

Over the next few days MJ began to directly hang out with you and the boys, and she said that she would be going to the party as well. "I don't believe in stereotyping geeks out of parties, which is why I'm supporting you guys tomorrow." She explained with an almost unnoticeable smile.

"So generous." You teased back, Ned and Peter smiling as well. "What'll you be going as?"

"Oh, I'll be going as part of the impartial generation of today." She gave a sly smile.

"Nice, nice." You nodded contently before Flash came up to your table again. "Holy crap man, are you sure you even have friends? Why do you keep bugging me?"

"Just wanted to see what the new member of the Penis Parker group was like." He then nodded to Mj, to which she didn't respond. He then rudely waved his hand over her face. "Hello?"

She backed her face up as you smacked his hand away. "Leave her alone."

"What? This is probably the most exciting thing to happen to her. It's not like you guys have interesting lives." You and Peter looked at each other. "I'm guessing that's a no?"

"Well Peter and y/n know Spiderman and Spidergirl!" Ned blurted out.

Flash then did a breathy, wheezing laugh. "Are you kidding me? How would they know them?"

"The Stark Internship!"

"Ned, stop talking." You mumbled. Ned nodded and put his head down. "We met them a few times, so we don't really know them or anything, and even if we did were aren't supposed to talk about it."

"Well Peter," he ignored you. "If you're actually cool then why don't you invite them the the party?"

"Cause we wouldn't want to waste their time by having them go to some fanboy's party." You argued, knowing Peter would choke up if he answered.

Flash shrugged it off. "That's what I thought." He said as he left.

The next day you were talking to Linda while in your costume with your mini backpack slung over your shoulder. She was telling you about the job interview she's getting and how she's saving up the money from Tony's watch to rent an apartment in the building you live it. "I'm so happy right now Linda! You could totally be one of those super nosey neighbors, and I would pretend to be okay with it!"

"That would be a dream come true." She said as you both turned your heads to see Peter coming, also dressed up. "Just a few years older, and I would totally go for that."

You sighed. "You're such a creeper Linda."

"And you should loosen up and be more of a creeper." You gave her a look, and she only shrugged. "Just saying. Press on and go for it."

"Hey guys." Peter greeted with a smile. "Everything okay?"

"Yup!" You hopped off the steps you were sitting on. "Let's go."

"Okay. Bye Linda." Peter politely waved.

"Don't acknowledge her Peter, it makes her weirder."

"Don't be jealous that I'm more fun." She called out, smiling.

Peter chuckled and tried to put his hands in his pockets, only for his hands to slip from there being none. He didn't know what to do with his free hand that wasn't carrying the shield. He probably looked so awkward in front of you right now. This was so nerve wracking.

"Peter calm down." You suddenly said, causing him to jump a little. "It's my first party too, but we got each other. And we know Ned's gonna be there to be a dork, and Mj will be there to remind us how stupid we look. It'll be great."

He nervously laughed, scratching his head. "Yeah, I guess." He then became nervous just thinking about what would happen if you discovered this crush, especially at the party with Flash. "Y/n, what do you see in men?"

The question was unexpected, and your face felt like it was in flames. "What would you ask that?"

"Just wondering. I don't think I've ever seen you flirt with someone." He mentally sighed at the save.

"Mm, I guess he has to be nice, for starters. I'd want him to make me laugh, and care about me. I don't know, that's really it."

"Really? Only that?"

"Yeah?"

"Nothing with looks, or..."

"Peter!" You lightly smacked his arm and giggled. "You know I don't care about that stuff."

"You care about your own looks." He said quietly.

"That's different though." You grinned and tugged on his wrist. "We're here. C'mon."

Ned was waiting on the steps, looking up at you two in major relief. "Guys, tell me you brought the suits."

You both nodded. "Our suits aren't party tricks." You said. "This feels way too wrong."

"Yeah, I'm with y/n. Those suits are worth way too much to use for something like this." Peter added.

"Only for a few minutes. This is our chance for Flash to stop messing with us." Ned whined.

You huffed. "Okay, but only if Flash is being extra annoying."

The three of you walked inside and saw Flash trying to be a DJ, playing some basic techno music. He saw the three of you, and brought out his mic. "Hey Penis Parker, where's your superhero friends? That's not Spiderman, that's Ned in a onesie."

People began laughing, and you pursed your lips. "I'll be right back."

You left and went behind a building, opening your backpack and quickly changing into your hero outfit. You took a deep breath, and was about to swing in when you got a call from Peter.

"Dude, tell me she's doing it." You could hear Ned say.

"I don't know, I'm gonna ask her. Y/n?"

"Yeah?" You laughed out.

"Did you really put it on?"

"Yeah. Are you gonna join me or do you just want me to do it?"

"This doesn't feel right."

"Peter doesn't know what he's saying." Ned called out in a child-like tone.

"Ned's being mean to me." Peter responded in the same tone.

You giggled. "Look guys, I don't feel great about it, but Flash needs to be knocked down a peg. It hurts to see him treat you guys like crap. This is just gonna be a one time thing, right?"

"Right." Peter confirmed.

Ned remained silent, but Peter nudged him. He huffed. "Right."

"Okay, I'll be down in a bit." You then ended the call.

"So, I've been meaning to ask," Ned said. "But why does y/n still think you like Liz? I thought you were gonna tell her yesterday."

"I didn't know how to tell her the truth! I panicked!"

"You're hopeless." Mj said as she walked up to the two boys. "What happened to y/n?"

"She went to go get Spidergirl." Ned nodded for way to long as he said this.

"Wait," She looked genuinely surprised. "So you guys, like, actually know the Spider heros?"

"What was that?" Flash asked over his mic. "Is Penis Parker actually going to bring Spiderman and Spidergirl here?"

"Actually, um, Spiderman couldn't make it." Peter said before clearing his throat awkwardly. "But Spidergirl said she'd make an appearance."

Flash obnoxiously laughes into the mic. "Can anybody believe this guy?"

You then swung in. "I do." You raised your hand playfully as everyone began cheering. "You guys were expecting me, right?"

Everyone cheered again. "Oh my God." Flash said in a high pitched manner.

You grabbed Ned by the shoulders. "It's Ned, right?" You asked over the music, loud enough for everyone to hear. "I've heard good things about you."

"All true." He showed his goofy smile.

You patted his cheek. "I bet!" You turned and walked over to Peter, giving him a big hug. He returned it, finding the hug oddly comforting considering everyone was staring. "Peter! It's been a bit, huh?"

He awkwardly chuckled. "Yeah. Thanks for coming."

"Of course! When I heard from SM that the Peter Parker finally had time for a party, I knew I had to come and see it for myself! Maybe my partner could join in next time, yeah?"

"We... Um..." He kept doing his little pant–laugh thing that he does when he doesn't know what to say. "Yeah."

You moved over to look at Mj. "You go by Mj, right?" She nodded. "Y/n tells me you're super opinionated and awesome."

She smiled and shrugged, tucking back some hair. "I just kinda say whatever comes to mind. I don't really think before I talk sometimes."

You tapped her chin. "I love it. Never change." You then clapped your hands. "Now! Where's Flash Thompson?"

Everyone pointed to Flash, who quickly turned down the music. You swung to him quickly and caused him to back up into a small table, awkwardly steadying it. "H... Hi."

"Hi Flash. I wanted to let you know that me and Spiderman keep tabs on our friends, to make sure they're okay. We're pretty protective, y'know?"

"Yeah, yeah. I totally get that." He kept awkwardly nodding.

You nodded and patted his cheek. "I knew you would, so I need you to keep an eye on Peter and Ned while me and SM can't. Can you do that for me?"

"Yes, yes I can. I could do anything for you."

"Thank you Flash." You patted his arm, to which he looked at his arm in amazement. "Amazing. Okay, I gotta go. But remember, I keep tabs on your school, so I'll be watching!"

You then walked around for a bit taking pictures and talked to some people. You suddenly felt goosebumps all over and excused yourself, flying out and looking around. You saw a small blue explosion in the distance and quickly texted Peter.

He came as soon as he could and you explained the situation. Unbeknownst to the two of you, Mj noticed Peter leave quickly after you did. She also noticed that you weren't in sight while Spidergirl was here.

"Okay, okay. I, I need to change!" He then quickly took off his shirt and started unbuckling his pants, looking up to you dumbly staring at him. "Uh..."

"Sorry!" You quickly turned around and look off your mini backpack, plopping it down next to yourself. It had Peter's suit folded inside. "That was partially not my fault. You gotta warn somebody before you start stripping next time."

"Next time?" He asked teasingly. "You say it like you want it to happen again."

Truth be told, neither of you knew where this new found confidence of Peter came from to tease you like that. It was almost like he was flirting. You liked it though; it was as if he was becoming more confident and mature with himself.

Your face was hot as you grinned at the ground. "Well, you gotta pay for whatever expensive college you're gonna get into somehow. And I'll come visit at the strip club to support my best friend."

He hugged you with one arm from behind. "So supportive. Maybe the reason I'm a stripper is to support the both of us."

You chuckled and rubbed his arm. "My hero."

He turned you around and handed you your backpack. "This is a cool backpack, by the way. I like the mini things of Thor."

"Thank you." You said, awkwardly taking the backpack. "Now let's go."

Neither of you could get some webbing to hold onto any tree in the area, so instead you both ran across a whole field, looking kind of comical. By the time you two got there this one man was showing another some high tech weapons. You were getting closer to listen in, and it sounded like the guy wasn't interested in what the others were trying to sell.

"Why you trying to upsell me man?"

The other two guys didn't like this, and were slowly getting angrier. You tried to get closer, but Peter's phone went off from Ned calling him. You both hid as Peter fumbled to end the call, and the two merchants assumed the buyer was setting them up because of the noice. In an instant there were two guns pointed at the buyer.

"Woah, woah!" You yelled as you and Peter came out, hands up. "C'mon guys, I promise he wasn't turning his back on you two. And I'm a good guy; good guys don't lie."

"Really, if you guys are gonna shoot at anybody, shoot at me." Peter said with seriousness. "I'm the real threat."

The two guys looked at each other and pointed their guns at the both of you. "Okay."

You both dodged their shots and flung their guns away with your webs. You tried to shoot at the wheels of the car but the man with an electric glove shot at you, causing you to fling back. You noticed that the buyer hesitated to go and help you, but decided not to and instead hopped in his car and drove away.

When you got up they were getting in the car so you and Peter shot a web to the door. The door broke off, but Peter shot another web to the car to have you two ride the door.

"Hey, I got a really stupid idea!" You yelled out as the guy in the back of the van was reaching for a gun.

"Go for it!" The van hit a sharp turn, and you took this as chance to let go of the door and leap to a tree, using your strength to push and dive head first into the van.

"Woah, I did it!" The shocker guy tried to punch you with his electric glove, but you dodged it. "Someone's bitter!"

You began to go on a defensive position and dodge his contact hits and fires in the narrow van, until Peter shot a web at him that pinned one of his hands to the side of the van. He used the other hand to shoot at Peter, blasting him into a backyard.

"I'm okay!" You heard him yell out from a distance.

You slammed the shocker guy to the ground and pinned his hands and feet to the ground. You stood and shot web to cover his mouth as well. "That was a pretty rude thing to do, but I guess two v one isn't fair. Then again, you're are a bad guy."

You remembered that you had your backpack on this whole time, and took it off to hug it.

"Mh. Once again, Thor backpack comes in clutch. Odinson, you can me do no wrong." You opened your backpack and put some small weapons in it, zipping it up and putting it back on. You looked outside before turning around to talk to the man pinned on the ground. "I wonder where Spiderman went. It's all good though, I'll stop the car—"

You were cut off by something grabbing you and yanking you back. You yelped as you were whipped into this huge lake. The water hit you painfully and you began to see spots, seeing a flash of a man with mechanical wings. You almost didn't feel something bring you up.

"Thanks ma..." You looked up and winced. What was carrying you was the Iron Man suit. "Uh oh."

"I have some words for you two."

[botwstoriesandsuch]

Yo what if the Champions’ spirits stuck around long enough to train the next gen? Hcs for that?

*blows dust off of ask* Sorry this took so long, hope you weren’t too comfy sitting in my inbox there. Alrighty! Time for some

Training Montages *Rocky Theme Plays* (Headcanons)

Credit to @champion-of-the-sky​ for some help with the hcs

Ok, the first part of this post it just gonna be some of my thoughts into how the Divine Beasts actually work, because that’s kinda of necessary information if you wanna train them. So here is another one of my big boi head canon posts because sometimes I can’t shut up.

So firstly, the Divine Beasts can draw immense power from Hyrule which is stored over time and charges their giant laser thingys (Naboris draws power from the earth and makes electricity, Ruta takes in water from the atmosphere, Rudania is fire boy, Medoh has wind and thermal (from the atmosphere) generators, etc. etc.)

The Ancient Sheikah were like “hey wow these are really powerful beasts so maybe we should make sure that no one unworthy gets their hands on them”

Their solution was to have a spiritual bond between the beast and the pilot. Each Divine Beast has their own “soul” or personality and can judge someone of being worthy of piloting them. And only that person would have the power to use the Divine Beast to its full potential (AKA use the giant Anti-Ganon lasers)

Ergo, the Champions

When the died 100 years ago, their spirits stuck around because Ganon need to trap their spirits in order to get the Divine Beasts to actually work

[And then this would be a good segue-way into that cool idea where the Link has to fight the Champions taken over by malice, instead of the blights. BUT we’re not talking about that today]

Ok, so you know the story. Link frees the Divine Beasts from Ganon’s grasp. The spirits of the dead Champions command a legendary blow against the blight of Hyrule. Zelda and Link help save the day. Yay!

HOWEVER! The Champions are still there, their spirits persist.Turns out their spirits cannot go away, because the Divine Beasts don’t really wanna go without an owner, considering they’ve been controlled by Ganon for 100 years, so fair.

Basically, the Beasts wont let the spirit of their old pilots go until they find a suitable successor

Enter, new gen Champs!

Daruk/Yunobo

Training with a Divine Beast is not unlike trying to form a bond with a real animal. In fact, the Beasts do behave with a mind of their own, so that might as well be an on point analogy

Daruk struggled with Rudania because its personality was very stubborn and blunt, much like the Goron race anyhow. As said in my other post, Rudania’s personality clashes with the playful and loving nature of Daruk

The only reason Daruk even got the handle on things was becuase Link forced him to spend a whole day in the Divine Beast. We can only speculate that from that time, Daruk must have somehow formed a mutual respect or protective bond with the giant lizard

So essentially, when he’s training Yunobo, he does the exact same thing

“You just gotta walk around for a bit, Yunobo. Get a feel for ol’ Rudania. They’re a grump, but you’ll get along.”

“G-get a feel? We’re surrounded by lava! What if I mess up? What if your Divine B—”

“Your, Divine Beast”

“Right, right… but what if it doesn’t like me and tips my into Death Mountain’s core!”

Daruk gives a hearty laugh. “Kid, you helped save ol’ Ruddy from Ganon, remember? You’ve already got a good bond going. So just walk around for a bit and just take ‘em all in. Good luck!”

And he slams the door behind him, leaving Yunobo in the dark

But he’ll eventually get around to forming a bond. But Rudania’s probably a little grumpy that they’ve gone from reckless pilot who laughs too much, to timid teenager gifted with a powerful champion ability that he is self-conscious about

Daruk is hella encouraging with Yunobos training. The kid will eventually be the second best with his Beast. Daruk is patient with Yunobo because he sees himself in him. And he also teaches him some cool tricks like if you tilt Rudania just right, you get a cool slip and slide ramp that’s perfect for the hot springs

Urbosa/Riju [not a lot for these guys bcs I’m lazy and this post is long anyway]

Urbosa would be playful with Riju when they train, making goofy jokes about things, letting out a quick joke to lessen and tension Riju might feel from her anxiety to lead her people. At the same time, she also explains things with good detail

Riju is third best with her beast. Occasionally, she’ll be intimidated by Naboris’ strength and power, especially considering she had an incident with Patricia the Sand Seal back when it was shooting lightning everywhere

However, she’s the one to ask the most questions, half of which Urbosa can’t answer. She’s got that childish curiosity that serves well in her understanding of Naboris

Mipha/Sidon [also not a lot because using your imagination can be hard]

Mipha and Sidon just act like siblings, much to both of their delight. It’s less of training, and more of catching up on everything over the last a hundred years on top of a giant elephant.

Because they’re siblings, Mipha pulls little pranks on her little brother on purpose. But neither are really annoyed by it, as they both laugh it off

Like Mipha will tell Sidon to stand in a certain spot to see how the parts of Ruta move. Then she makes Ruta move in such away to splash the poor prince in gallons of water

You’re gonna ruin his handkerchief Mipha!

Sidon is the best at managing his Divine Beast out of the four, for not only does he have a strong bond with the previous pilot, but he gets along well with Ruta’s playful personality

Revali/Teba

Local birds butt heads because they’re both egotistical idiots

Revali continues to be as dramatic as usual, while also maintaining his image by claiming that Teba will probably never master Medoh as well as him

Teba respects Revali given that he was his childhood hero. Yet at the same time Revali isn’t exactly what he expected, and he’s not down to take this sass from a teenager

Perfect storm of dumb banter, because both have reluctance in the whole situation

Teba gives out a groan, frustrated. “Argh! This damn bird wont start its propellers. How do I get it to work?”

“Perhaps Medoh is still tired. After all, you’ve been complaining none stop all day.”

“Right, my voice is the problem.”

“Why don’t you sing her a lullaby, she’s probably so sleepy.”

Teba scoffs, “You’re kidding. There’s no way that would work. Beside, there’s no way I’m sing—”

“Why don’t you hold your tongue, my dear apprentice,” another groan escapes Teba, “You’re going to hurt Medoh’s feelings with that attitude. Tulin is your son, yes? Surely you’ve sung a tune or two back in his fledgling days?”

“Sure, but I’m not gonna—”

“Medoh wants to hear you s i n g~”

Revali is strict with his training, and Teba probably struggled with Medoh the most out of the four, considering that before Link came along, he had the mindset of killing Medoh. 

Teba still repescts everything Revali is doing, making sure to call him “Master Revali.” And though he would never admit it, Revali’s feathers would always fluff with pride at the notion of it

Also he’s gonna call Teba his pupil/apprentice throughout the entire session

Angsty moment: when each Champion thinks their apprentice is ready, THAT’S the time they get their final rest and their spirits move on. Like, imagine Sidon wanting to Master Ruta to make his sister proud, but at the same time the day he does is when she is gone for good.

That looks like a good note to end off of! So yay :)

[frigginconfused]

I feel like this has been asked many times so feel free to link if you have it? If not, and ur sick of answering this question, feel free to ignore! But /face shapes/. How? What? Urs r so GOOD. Your characters are so diverse! ????

I have actually never been asked this and it makes my day to get these questions because it tells me I’m going something right! I’m actually going to use this opportunity to go a little more in depth as well.

Okay so, a small trend I have noticed is

“How do you make faces different”

“Well the trick is to make the features different”

Which is… not really helpful at all if you don’t go into the how’s and why’s which is exactly what I’ll be doing. This does mean I’m going to get some into character design in general, but I won’t go ALL into that. So I’m going to put this under a read more as it’s going to get a bit lengthy!

STEP ONE: SHAPES

Shapes, in my opinion, are the most important thing to learn. You can convey so much with just three shapes. People can and will make assumptions about your characters based on the shapes they’re composed of, and you should take advantage of that!

Do yourself a solid and look up tutorials on Shapes in Character Design, it’ll help you immensely. I’ll give a super quick guide here~

STEP TWO: SIZE AND PLACEMENT

Size and placement is especially important in child characters, but they’re also the easiest to spot the difference it. In young children you’ll want bigger eyes and heads, you’ll want their features to sit a little low so the forehead is bigger, and features like the nose, mouth and ears, you’ll want them to be small.

This character is actually twelve, so not an infant, but “Innocent” and “Dangerous” is exactly what I want to portray, hence the sharp triangles and the circles. The placement of younger looking features helps with this.

This can go in the opposite direction as well, and if you aren’t mindful of size and placement things can get a little unclear. I still stand on the belief that shapes are more important, and size and placement help emphasize them, but it’s not so unimportant that you can toss this part aside. You could run the risk of people not taking your Protagonist or Antagonist as seriously as you’d like, make ages unclear, or just generally miss out on these extra ways of emphasizing what you want to get across in your design.

Depending on what you make big or small, it can be imposing, goofy, cute, or even villainous, and I recommend searching for character design tutorials as they usually go over this part much better than I can~

STEP THREE: CHARACTER CONTROLLED DETAILS

Aka, who are they? Do they wear makeup? How do they have their hair? Do they sport any scars? With size, shape, and placement you can establish the vibe you want your characters to give off. With the details the character controls, you establish who they are. Their history and quirks, role in society, and even activities.

When designing your character you will get the very best results if you focus on their personality, history, and occupation

STEP FOUR: RELATED CHARACTERS

So you’ve got two characters who are related, and you want to make that clear without making them look the same. That’s super easy!

You can use both traits the characters can’t control and traits they can control to your advantage. The idea is to keep a good balance of similar and different traits. It doesn’t have to be fifty fifty, some family members look like each other more than others. 

A good personal rule of thumb for me is to have at least five traits that are similar or the same, while ensuring the other traits are different. You don’t really want more than half the traits to be the same (again, personal rule of thumb).

STEP FIVE: LITERALLY DIVERSIFY YOUR CHARACTERS

Step five, seriously, just open google. Go to the image search, and search people. Search unique people, search diverse people, search young people, search old people, search beautiful people.

There’s an incredibly wide array of people in the world that you can draw inspiration from. Even in a fantasy story such as Kredos (where all of these character examples come from) you can draw inspiration from people of different ages and races and cultures on which to base the looks of your characters, as long as you’re doing so respectfully– and there’s honestly no shortage of people out there who are putting their own guides up on how to do that!

If all your characters all share the same race you’re already limiting yourself. If All of your characters are perfectly able bodied you’re limiting yourself. If All of your characters share the same culture you’re limiting yourself. If All of your characters share the same social and economic class, you are limiting yourself. And I know this one should sound obvious but: If you are choosing only traits that you yourself find physically attractive, you are limiting yourself wildly.

That is it, that is my final piece of advice to you. 

Take inspiration from the world, don’t focus on the conventionally attractive as the little flaws are what make us unique, and the context of a character’s life is as important to the design as what you want to portray.

GO FORTH AND CREATE UNIQUE AND INTERESTING CHARACTERS.

Week One Apprentice April Asks

I wanted to post the remaining asks for my boys, so here you go!

Questions already answered are linked. Also RIP to mobile users. I’m so sorry.

For Rory:

1. The Basics.  What is your character’s name?  How old are they?  How tall are they?  Skin color?  Eye color?  Hair color?  Gender identification?

Riordan “Rory” Enda Tanner is 26 years old at the start of the game. He was born April 11 (Aries), and is trans (he/him only, please). He does identify as gay, though he has been known to have some wiggle room - rare as said wiggle room is. He stands at a towering 5’2” (though he wears heeled boots 99% of the time so really everyone sees him at….5’5”), is incredibly pale and rosy and freckled, has green eyes, and brown hair that’s usually pulled back into a ponytail or braid. Sometimes he leaves it down, though, and it is close to waist length. He likes to wear silver earrings (cuffed up to his cartilage), and his colors are Navy, Cream, and Silver. He made his own binder by developing a modified stay, though his build is slight enough that he doesn’t require it all the time. His general outfit is a white undershirt, with the sleeves rolled up, his modified stay, a navy vest/jerkin, and brown trousers and boots. Fairly simple and standard. Doesn’t garner much attention. He also cannot see very well and has circular spectacles. However, due to his clumsiness, Rory keeps them on a chain in case they fall from his face. Which they do. Frequently. (Further outfit info can be provided on request for pre-death/masquerade/etc purposes if interested!)

2.  Love Interest.  Who does your character love?  What attracted them to that particular LI? 

Answered here

3. Familiar.  Does your character have a familiar?  How did they meet?

Answered here

4. Hobbies.  What kinds of things does your character like to do for fun?

He likes to sew. One of his passions is designing and sewing together outfits or finding fun ways to design practical clothing items. He makes all of his own clothing and post-game experiments with many different kinds and colors of fabrics. He also enjoys writing - mostly journal entries as he doesn’t want to forget any other aspect of his life from now on. Also enjoys horseback riding and general tomfoolery!

5. Hidden talents.  Is there something neat that your character can do?  Tie a cherry stem into a knot with their tongue?  Say any word backwards perfectly?

SFW - He’s a very good dancer, though usually just when others aren’t looking. He is also a fan of sleight of hand tricks, using magic or just by being slippery.

…..he has some NSFW ones, but those are available upon request ^_^

6. Magical talents.  Is there a specific type of magic that your character excels at?  Any magic they aren’t so great at?  Or do they actually shy away from magic altogether?

Rory has some natural talent and some learned. Naturally, he is adept with fire based magic, and prophetic divination, most of which is involuntary. He is also prone to emotional outbursts that result in items being broken/people being hurt. Learned, he excelled at alchemy, illusion, and magical theory. He likes the balance and physicality of alchemy, versus the creativity and freedom of illusion, and how they play into one another. Most of his learned magic was lost, but Asra retaught him a bit of it :)

7. Interaction.  How does your character typically interact with people?

Answered here

8. Romance.  What is something that your character and their LI love to do together?  How do they show affection?

With Julian, they like to go on adventures. The more places they can go, the better. They are also both very good at surprising each other with events, gifts, vacations. Sometimes, just the simple things like making breakfast in the morning, or a comforting hug after a bad day. Rory primarily shows his affection with words and actions - he is very much a fan of telling people that he loves them and why, and wants to hug and touch as much as he can. He requires the same, though usually the words are the important part, especially as his insecurities show up. He just needs reassurance that he is loved, and he is glad to provide the same as is needed.

9. Travel.  Does your character like to travel outside of Vesuvia?  How often?  For how long?  What kinds of things do they do away from home?

Now he does. He was raised on a farm in a small village about a week’s travel southwest of Vesuvia. He ran away from home at 18, stayed briefly with his aunt in Vesuvia, went to school in Prakra for magic, then returned to Vesuvia to help his aunt with her shop. Up until his death, however, he stayed within the general city limits. Once he is brought back, he stays at home up through end-game. At that point, he and Julian travel all over the world, for months at a time, especially once they get Julian his own ship. They regularly travel to Nevivon and galavant across Prakra, but always return home to Vesuvia. Every trip means a new place that Rory hasn’t seen, and if Julian hasn’t been there, either, all the better!

10. WTF.  Has anything just…weird ever happened to your character?  Something that made them stop and go “What just happened?!”

Answered here

11. Crime.  Has your character ever been arrested?  If so, what did they do?  Have they ever helped stop a crime?

He’s never been caught ;) See Question 10 for stopping crimes, though that hardly counts, doesn’t it?

12. Secrets.  What is a secret that your character has?  Are they in line for the throne in a far off land?  Was there this one time at band camp…?  Are they secretly involved in an assassin’s guild?

Answered here

13. Overcompensation.  Is there something that your character just HAS to do better than anyone else?  Or are they just that dang good without trying?  If they see someone else showing off, what is their kneejerk reaction?

Answered here

14. Fight Club.  Is your character a good fighter?  What kind of skills do they have?

Answered here

15. The Arts.  Is your character a creative type?  What kinds of things can they create?  Can they act?  Street perform?

He can sketch! Not well, and not people, but he likes to sketch out landscapes and plants. Professional Doodler ;) He also does stage magic and sleight of hand for fun, and has been known to do some work down at the community theater. He can sing, but he’s a better dancer, preferring to let his body do the talking for him. Wishes he could play an instrument, but for everyone’s sake...best not to let him near one!

16. Goofy.  Is your character a clown?  Do they like to make people laugh?

Answered here

17. Language.  Is your character multilingual?  How many languages do they speak?  Do they have an accent?  Is it sexy?  Is it silly?  Do they have a multilingual lisp?

Answered here

18. Embarrassment.  What is something really embarrassing that your character has done/said?

Honestly, when he first went to Prakra, he was a bit of a bumpkin. So just his overall reactions to being in a metropolis, plus his shy demeanor, led him to act in some embarrassing ways around people he wanted to befriend. In game, Rory is notoriously clumsy, not quite used to his limbs, like a young colt. He laughs off his embarrassment, now, at least!

19. Memory.  Has your character gotten any of their memory back?  If so, what?  Did it change them?

Not properly. When he became strong enough, Asra gave Rory back his old journal, which documented Rory’s life from the ages of 16 to 22, when he died. Rory can’t read it for too long or, yes, the headaches start. So instead of getting his memories back, he just sort of re-reads what his life was from the point of view of someone that he...quite simply doesn’t relate to anymore. But it’s good for him to know, he thinks. To see what he was like, and to avoid making similar mistakes. It does inspire him to make his own journal, and to keep track of his days so he never loses another moment again.

20. Family.  Talk about your character’s family.  Who were they?

Answered here

For Riley

1. The Basics.  What is your character’s name?  How old are they?  How tall are they?  Skin color?  Eye color?  Hair color?  Gender identification?

Riley Aeron Tanner is 24 years old at the start of the game. He’s a Virgo, born September 17th, and is cis, using he/him pronouns. Highkey a bisexual disaster who doesn’t quite know what to do with all the feelings he has, and also pretty oblivious to people liking him! He’s 6’2” and built like a brick shithouse, warm skin-toned, easy to tan, but still very clearly pale. He has brown eyes and dark brown hair, which he tries to keep short, but he’s not very good at cutting it, so it sometimes hits near chin length. He can be found wearing very practical clothing that makes it easy to move as he does a lot of stocking/lifting/errand running for the shop, as well as odd jobs around town. Also very earthy in his tones - lots of greens and browns and oranges! He’s also not incredibly hairy, but he does have a fair amount of body hair - including a full beard, which he tries to keep neatly trimmed. Unlike his brother, he can see without glasses, so any accessories would be practical - a bag, tools, and the like.

2.  Love Interest.  Who does your character love?  What attracted them to that particular LI?

Answered here

3. Familiar.  Does your character have a familiar?  How did they meet?

Answered here

4. Hobbies.  What kinds of things does your character like to do for fun?

He likes to play the lute, go for walks outside the city, and people watch. He’s definitely a people person and his favorite is going into the marketplace and just complimenting people on their wares, or drawing the animals he sees running around. And just being an all around good guy...Those are hobbies, right?

5. Hidden talents.  Is there something neat that your character can do?  Tie a cherry stem into a knot with their tongue?  Say any word backwards perfectly?

Answered here

6. Magical talents.  Is there a specific type of magic that your character excels at?  Any magic they aren’t so great at?  Or do they actually shy away from magic altogether?

Honestly, Riley isn’t good at magic at all. He’s never shown an affinity for it, and it’s never been that big a deal to him. In his canon, Rory dies when Riley is 15, and so he pursues magic as a way to honor him, even if it’s hard. He gains an affinity for Green Magic and enjoys tarot, but he still isn’t particularly good at either of them. After he is brought back, of course, this changes, and his magical powers develop very quickly.

7. Interaction.  How does your character typically interact with people?

He. Loves. People. He’s like a big puppy - loud and excited, kind and helpful, constantly the life of the party. He tries to help people in need whenever he can, and if he ends a conversation with the other person grinning, then he has succeeded! Generally well liked, but not smug or rude about it. He’s just a good dude!

8. Romance.  What is something that your character and their LI love to do together?  How do they show affection?

With Portia, they like to go on adventures together either in real life, or in their books. He likes it when she reads to him, and he likes to read to her. He likes to surprise her with events and little shows of physical affection - neck kisses, spinning her around, humming into her ear, massages after a long day. He likes to doodle her - though he is so upset that he can’t catch her likeness in his stick figures, not properly. Riley also serenades her - out in public or in the privacy of their home - doesn’t matter!

9. Travel.  Does your character like to travel outside of Vesuvia?  How often?  For how long?  What kinds of things do they do away from home?

He doesn’t travel very often. He’s stayed in Vesuvia since he moved there at 15, so I guess you could say he’s a bit of a homebody. He will travel occasionally, especially if Portia wants to, and is open to adventure, but it doesn’t occur to him to leave unless someone else suggests it.

10. WTF.  Has anything just…weird ever happened to your character?  Something that made them stop and go “What just happened?!”

Answered here

11. Crime.  Has your character ever been arrested?  If so, what did they do?  Have they ever helped stop a crime?

Riley is generally pretty lawful good, though in both Rory and Riley’s canons, he does take up with a small militia to fight some of Lucio’s men. I suppose that was a crime, though I would argue the validity of that claim. He’s stopped a robbery or two in the past, but he generally tries to stay out of trouble.

12. Secrets.  What is a secret that your character has?  Are they in line for the throne in a far off land?  Was there this one time at band camp…?  Are they secretly involved in an assassin’s guild?

Answered here

13. Overcompensation.  Is there something that your character just HAS to do better than anyone else?  Or are they just that dang good without trying?  If they see someone else showing off, what is their kneejerk reaction?

Answered here

14. Fight Club.  Is your character a good fighter?  What kind of skills do they have?

Yes. He can punch, he can throw, he can swordfight - He’s just very good at fighting. In canon, he is a practiced fighter, and in most AUs, he has done boxing or wrestling in addition to weightlifting. Boy can Fight!

15. The Arts.  Is your character a creative type?  What kinds of things can they create?  Can they act?  Street perform?

Answered here

16. Goofy.  Is your character a clown?  Do they like to make people laugh?

Answered here

17. Language.  Is your character multilingual?  How many languages do they speak?  Do they have an accent?  Is it sexy?  Is it silly?  Do they have a multilingual lisp?

Answered here

18. Embarrassment.  What is something really embarrassing that your character has done/said?

Asra tried to tell Riley he loved him once before Riley’s death, and Riley just said, “Oh, wow, buddy! I love you too!” because he didn’t realize what Asra meant. Once he did realize, it was deeply embarrassing for both of them and Riley felt really bad about it.

19. Memory.  Has your character gotten any of their memory back?  If so, what?  Did it change them?

He hasn’t. But maybe it’s better to forget, y’know? He can move forward instead of looking back on what he lost.

20. Family.  Talk about your character’s family.  Who were they?

See Rory’s answer for most of this. The only difference is the dynamic. Riley was raised as the “perfect” child in contrast to the abuse Rory faced, and so developed a weird complex around being “perfect”. He was spoiled, though did not want to be, and was uncomfortable with it. He also looked up to his older brother like he was made of everything good in this world - Riley wanted so much to be like Rory.

[csykora]

Coming in with another Nicky question! Has he always had the eyebrow twitch? I get twitchy when I'm anxious, considering I only notice it when he's doing interviews I figured that may explain it.

Honey, I think you gotta give yourself more credit for outstanding knowledge of Nicke Backstrom. I’m not that up to date on his face. (Semin, yes, obviously, I can tell you how many dimples he’s got from memory, but not Backstrom.)

So let’s talk through what we see here and how to turn that into an assessment.

2019 Exit Interview with Eyebrow 

Here it is in 2016’s exit interview if you…want…to watch that

Ragebrow 2016 

Backstrom’s left eyebrow keeps quirking up in the middle and the settling back into place. It’s not moving down or in to crinkle between his brows. It’s a repetitive but irregular movement. It’s not happening constantly or rhythmically. It happens when he’s talking and making expressions, not when his face is still.

what’s that muscle

The muscle at play here is part of his frontalis (A above), a broad segment of muscle fibers which run down your forehead. Contracting them crinkles your forehead and raises your brows. Some people can contract the frontalis on one side or the other to raise a single brow, which I gather (I received eyebrows from whatever god wrought Holtby’s body hair) is real weird to those of you who can’t. Some people can use some of the fibers of the frontalis and maybe the corrugator, which runs along your eyebrow and crinkles it down to frown, to raise one end of an eyebrow or another.

resting or intentional

I see clients with both “resting” and “intentional” muscle funkiness. ‘Intentional’ doesn’t mean you’re trying to do it, it means it happens when you’re trying to do something else: someone’s hands look relaxed at rest and start to shake when I ask them to pick up a pencil and write. Something is going haywire when your nerves try to send the signal to activate your muscles. ‘Resting’ means it happens all the time because something is sending constant signals to your muscles.

This isn’t a resting shakiness, which narrows my options.

twitch, tremor, tic

These are helpful descriptions we usually use for different movements. (People also use them for whatever we feel like all the time, which isn’t wrong but can be confusing.)

A twitch is a fiber rapidly contracting along the length of the muscle when it isn’t supposed to (sometimes you’ll be able to see this in an athlete’s thighs after exercise, like a cord pulling tight under the skin).

A tremor is a general shaky movement of the limb/structure which the muscle is struggling to support normally (not clearly back-and-forth along the length of the muscle).

A tic is a full-fledged little movement—blinking, quirking your lips, tapping a finger.

While the first two are pretty much just involuntary and have to do with some hitch in how our nerves are sending signals to our muscles, a tic is generally seen as a movement that our body for whatever reason has some level of compulsion to do. It’s a little body-habit. This doesn’t mean that a person is choosing to do it (for some people the tic is just gonna happen and the rest of us need to get over it) but that in certain circumstances (if they’re relaxed or paying attention) they may suppress it, and then if they’re stressed and forget it comes back again. 

(Many of us can think of the goofy thing we didn’t know about until someone filmed us doing a presentation in middle school one time and oh god does everyone notice I do that with my nose all the time and now we’ll never be caught dead “”acting natural”” on camera again)

‘Stress’ here doesn’t necessarily mean ‘something unpleasant’, but any situation with high stimulation, where your system’s spinning a lot of plates and doesn’t have time to micro-manage your tics. 

In Backstrom’s case, I don’t think it’s a sign he’s particularly anxious, shy, or upset, just focused. He has a stutter with prolonged sounds and stoppages in his speech: when does interviews, he’s using a couple tricks to increase the fluency of his speech. Doing that probably distracts him from obsessing over what his eyebrows are up to the way you or I might, so the tic is less suppressed and happens more often.

[peppersandcats]

Those toys. Where does he get those wonderful toys?

Yes, this is a post about issue 67 of The Flash. Yes, it’s about James Jesse. Yes, I’m using a Joker quote as the title. There are a bunch of pages over at @gorogues review of the issue that are definitely worth checking out.

Setting aside everything else for a moment - for just a moment, I am having so many opinions - last I checked, the technology at James Jesse’s disposal covered

ridiculously advanced guns, up for sale

para-angels, possibly hired

something that yanked a kid out from under an entire collapsing building and dropped him safely (?) in Jesse’s lair

cameras studded in a really unnerving number of places around the city

mind control of an entire city

the ability to keep Barry Allen from recognizing him (?) (but would he want this? maybe to draw out the game right now? but surely not in general)

Excuse me, but what the hell? I do not know the comics that well, even now, but this scope of effect feels like I want to forget Neron and start asking question about “Apokolips technology, hiring out of” or “failed recruits from the Renegades who decided to go back to the 20th century and are living their best lives in ignorance of the fact that they’re actually the Reverse Trickster”. Even assuming he’s still a guy who invented his own airwalkers (which I’m really happy to read it as), this feels way out of scope.

(The Barry Allen not recognizing him thing - look, James got thrown in jail, was not shy about referring to himself as the great James Jesse, and Barry Allen was both the Flash and a CSI. I kind of have to believe that Barry would know who he is. I don’t necessarily think it goes both ways - maybe James just arranged to have the Flash not remember him without knowing the Flash’s secret identity, maybe everyone doesn’t recognize or remember him - but Barry not recognizing him is really, really weird.)

And now that the above-mentioned moment’s over:

If I’m in a hurry, I usually summarize CW!James to people as “functionally the Joker”. It is a useful shorthand. It reflects his grandiosity, his threat level, his trickery, his venom, his willingness to murder people and think it’s funny, his showmanship, his TV tricks. (In the original series, he also brainwashed people and took over Central City!)

I am not happy to be able to see parallels between comics!James and CW!James. I never had a problem with how different they were - I chalked it up to “same name, different people” rather than bad adaptation - but I liked what I read of comics!Jesse and this... this...

I never got the impression he’d be gleeful about the Flash facing the greatest horror ever. The greatest challenge, the greatest trick, the greatest foe, sure... but the greatest horror?

From James Jesse?

Ehhhhhn.

If this was a James-centric story, I’d be hoping that what he wants from Commander Cold is a way to travel back in time so he can show his parents that he’s a success and they should be proud of him.

If he didn’t have this much technology at his disposal, I’d kind of wonder if he was after gadgets from the future, but Commander Cold doesn’t seem to have much new or different, and that’s not knowledge of the future, it’s more knowledge from the future.

I’m... vaguely going with the idea that he’s convinced he’s going to win in his current endeavour - whether that’s against the Flash specifically, against Wolfe specifically, against them both as he stuffs them in a jar and shakes it to make them fight - and he’s poking for knowledge of the future so he finds out how he wins and knows what to do, but that doesn’t quite feel like it’s gelled yet.

More general stuff:

James so help me if Axel is somewhere with a goofy anxious grin on his face I’mma have so many words.

Why did James let Detective Burns go? It’s not like her and Henry being in a relationship is easy to miss, and anyway they’re a cop and a quasi-cop. I’m wondering why he didn’t try threatening her to get Henry to cave, bluntly. Unless maybe he wanted her to be findable so that the Flash could go to her as a way to pry into things and set off the Stepford Smiler splash page?

I cannot for love blood or money tell if James knows Barry is the Flash and is deliberately not inflicting happiness so as to play with him (”I’m sure we'll be seeing a lot of each other now”), or if he’s completely missed that his new girlfriend’s coworker back from vacation is the guy upon who he wishes to inflict the greatest horror (”I’m sure we'll be seeing a lot of each other now”, but said sincerely).

Hff. I do want next issue, but I confess I’m not exactly cheerfully looking forward to it.

11 Questions

the rules: answer the questions given to you by the tagged, write 11 questions of your own and tag 11 people.

I was tagged by: @divinexgods​ tagging: anyone who wants to do it! I’m too lazy to tag people! Feel free to tag me again if you want to ask me more questions! 

divinexgods’ Questions:

What is your favorite word in the English language and why? ...Shit... Can I only pick one word?!? Ughhh this isn’t fair! Okay, if off the top of my head, my favorite word in the English language “defenestration”. I love that we needed a word to properly describe the act of throwing someone out of a window! Haha! 

One place you’re desperate to travel to? Paris, France. I WILL go! 

How do you cope when you’re sad or upset? Music first and foremost. Spotify is cheaper than therapy! I also like to impulse buy myself little things that make me happy. Maybe a cute purse or a new nail polish color... Something to make me smile. If that doesn’t work, I go to Disney. I live close-ish to Disney World so when I’m feeling super down and I have the time, I go to one of the parks and I make sure to hug at least three characters. That usually does the trick. Chewbacca and Goofy give THE BEST hugs. 

What’s the best compliment you ever received? I have been told by various people, friends and strangers and even some idols of mine, that I have a great voice. Not a singing voice (ew no) but just my regular voice. I think it’s the most flattering compliment to receive and it’s definitely something I enjoy hearing. I think it’s the one compliment I can actually receive properly. Any other compliment I don’t know how to take xD 

The person of your dreams (real life or celebrity) comes up to you, pledges their love and wants to whisk you away for a romantic month in the tropics. Who is it? ...Am I allowed only one? I don’t believe in only one. Off the top of my head... It would either be Claudio Sanchez (lead singer of Coheed and Cambria), Sam Witwer (Being Human US, Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels, Smallville), Joel McHale, or Mila Kunis. 

Tell me your favorite joke? There are too many. I love really stupid jokes though. They don’t have to be puns, per se, but if they’re stupid I’ll probably laugh. Ohh!! I love it when kids try to make up their own jokes! They’re so bad and so hilarious. 

Your favorite muse you play right now and why? Even though I haven’t had the chance to use her a lot, I really like playing/the idea of Teal. She’s out of my comfort zone but I like getting in the headspace to play her. She’s feisty and moody and I think it’s nice to play someone like that.  A little bit back story on her: In an RP I was in for a bit, Teal was actually the girlfriend CPU character to my main muse. There were times where I liked playing her more than my actual muse. I liked writing  narrs that included her because I liked exploring that character. She was based off of another independent RP muse I had who was the difficult, bratty girlfriend to my sweet and loving male muse. I really liked the idea of her in general so when I joined the tumblr rpc, she was literally the first muse I put together. She has a lot of pieces and I really want to play her more. 

Books, music, or movies? Music. 

If you could pick anyone to play YOU in a movie about your life, who would you pick? Haha! Omg... The on-screen version of me would be so embarrassing! Uh... It’s really hard for me not pick Danny Devito. Honestly, I don’t even think having a real person would be the best way to portray me in a movie. It would have to be something animated and voiced by like Cree Summer or Michaela Dietz... Someone with a cute and raspy voice.

Do you live in a city, suburb, or rural area? Suburb... I think. 

Lastly, how many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop? One, a-two-hoo, a-three, *crunch*.

Sluts are a Social Construct

In which 2009 Dan feels like a slut for having sex with Phil the day after they met and doesn't really understand why. He enjoyed it and loves the memories but why does it make him feel so... dirty? (and not in a good way). Then ya boi Phil saves the day.

Warnings: frottage, language, smut (not intense, more of a lead up), fluffity-fluff y’all, I wrote this at four a.m. so it probably sucks (but what’s new?).

Dan and Phil have sex a lot. Way more than Dan ever thought he would with someone he'd only met in person a little over a month ago.

When he got back home after staying at Phil's for the first time he couldn't get out of his own head. He felt like a total slag. By the second night he was there they’d made love. Don’t get Dan wrong, he'd loved every moment of it when it happened. And then when it happened again the next morning, and that afternoon and then the morning after that until Dan left.

Dan didn't really understand why he was upset. He wasn't angry with Phil, Phil had made sure the whole time that Dan was comfortable and okay and generally just consenting. And Dan was. Oh boy, he was.

But if thinking back at the moments made him feel all warm and filled with butterflies, why did he feel so... well, dirty.

When he had his girlfriend (the only person he'd ever dated other than Phil), it took two years to have sex with her and they did it once before they broke up. So how come it took him over two years to pork her but 18 hours to let Phil fuck him? Did he regret it? He didn't think so...

He tucked all of these thoughts to the back of his mind as he sat on his bed and opened his laptop. Not even ten minutes later, Phil, had skype called him and they were already planning when Dan could go back and visit again.

"You okay?" Phil asks out of the blue.

"Y-yeah," Dan stutters to find his words. "Why’d you ask?"

"You seem kind of off is all."

"Just a lot on my mind I guess, don't worry about it." Dan insists faux smile and all.

"Anything I can do?" Phil offers.

"Make time go fast so I can be with you again." Dan says, "That’d do the trick."

Phil just gives a tired chuckle and drops the subject.

Though the subject occasionally pops into Dan's head and shames him, he does his best to block out the thoughts of "whore" that his brain so desperately tries to push onto him. Dan just chalks it up to his self-hate issues and focusses on counting down the days till he sees Phil again. Only 4 more days.

3 days He doesn't really want to see you. He’s just too nice to tell you he doesn't want you to ever come visit him again.

2 days Phil's probably disgusted by you. After all, why would he want to be with a slag? Someone who's so easy that they would have sex after knowing someone for a day.

1 day You shouldn't even go.

By the time Dan has to leave for his train, he's genuinely considering telling Phil he's ill and can't come. The idea of him being "slutty" has been haunting him. He’s decided. He’s not going. He can't. Phil definitely wouldn't want him there anyway, who would when he's so- BEEP BEEP!

It’s Phil. Of course, it's Phil. The message read: "hey, I'm really excited to see you today. I'll pick you up at the station <3".

Dan slouches and sighs. God, he's so in love. Dan takes a deep breath, grabs his suitcase and forces himself out the house. I can do this. Dan says to himself in an attempt of boosting his confidence. However, that boost of confidence is almost immediately lost and he ends up sitting on the train, stuck in his head. Constant thoughts of he probably won't even touch you because he thinks you're easy or if Phil doesn't want you then I fucking guarantee no one else will. Dan sits through the assault from his mind.

When the train stops and the doors open, Dan doesn't get up. In fact, he's the last person to get off the train. He sighs and walks out onto the platform, a solid six minutes after everyone, suitcase dragging haphazardly behind him. His eyes stayed glued to the floor and his feet are dragging, eyes only leaving the ground when a businessman powerwalking to the other side of the station bumps into Dan. Dan apologizes but suddenly feels no remorse when the man just glares and walks past him.

"Dan!" a voice yells to the left of him. Dan’s already looking in the direction of the voice, already knowing exactly who it is. And there's Phil, long, lanky legs jogging towards him and Dan's heart just melts. The moment Phil's close enough, he's pulling Dan into a hug. Dan’s hand is on Phil's chest and he can feel Phil's heart beating, warm and close, in front of everyone on the bustling platform.

After half a minute Phil pulls away and they make eye contact for the first time and Dan's heart gets lodged in his throat, just how it did the first time they met. Phil’s smile makes Dan just feel safe and okay.

They say their greetings (Dan stuttering through it as usual) and head toward the taxi. Phil’s standing so close that their shoulders and hands keep brushing and Dan feels like a fucking anime school girl for freaking out over it.

"Hey," Phil says as they approach the taxi. "Are you okay?"

"Uhh" Dan looks up and makes eye contact with Phil. "y-yeah, totally! W-why?"

"You just seem kind of out of it is all."

"I- uh- how so?"

"I mean, you took a while to get off the train and you were just kind of standing there. And, I don't know, you're just not as smiley as normal." Phil says opening the taxi door for Dan to climb in.

"Thinking too much is all." Dan shrugs and climbs in.

"Okay," Phil says sounding defeated. Phil turns round to greet the driver and climbs in next to Dan. He grabs Dan’s hand and intertwines their fingers together. "You know you can talk to me, right?"

Dan swallows the lump in his throat but still can't manage to form words so just nods.

The drive to Phil's house is normal. They joke and laugh and at one point Dan gesticulates and whilst trying to talk with his hands pulls Phil's up with him. They break out laughing and Dan seems to feel a little better.

Phil’s parents aren't home and basically since they got there Phil literally only talks about how much he's missed Dan. When nine p.m. rolls around they decide that watching a horror movie and cuddling seems fun. However, twelve minutes into Friday the thirteenth and they're making out.

Somewhere within the twenty-minute long make-out session, Phil had managed to get Dan lying flat on his back on the couch while Phil hovered over him kissing and biting at Dan’s lips.

Phil pulls back for a moment and looks Dan in the eye and gives him a gentle smile. He lowers his head again and starts kissing Dan's neck and savours the shivers and gasps. And then Phil does something even more unexpected and starts rolling his hips into Dan. Dan gasps and whimpers. Phil stops and they make eye contact again and Phil’s facial expression changes. "Is this okay? Is it too much, do you want to stop?"

"It’s, uh- yeah, I’m okay." Dan tries.

Phil smiles and keeps grinding, his head dropping back down to the crook of Dan’s neck, hot breath tickling Dan’s neck and making him shiver even more. Phil’s groaning and Dan’s whimpering, the room seeming to grow warmer. What Phil hadn't realized was that Dan’s whimpers weren't entirely from pleasure.  

Phil’s in the middle of leaving hot, wet open-mouthed kisses along Dan’s neck when he grinds particularly hard against Dan and Phil tastes something salty. He pulls his head away from Dan and realizes that Dan’s crying, practically sobbing, and he freaks out. He panics and stops all motion, sitting up and the pulling Dan off the couch to sit opposite to him.

"...Dan?" Phil asks cautiously. Dan wipes the tears from his eyes and fakes a smile.

"Nothing Phil, I’m fine. Sorry..." Dan says, attempting to seem genuine.

"Dan!" Phil says sternly, instantly upset. "Why are you lying to me? You can't just start crying while we're... you-know-what and then not tell me why you’re crying!"

Another whimper tears itself from Dan and he embarrassedly looks away, muttering an apology. Phil instantly regrets it and shuffles closer to Dan, hugging him. "I’m sorry," he says. "Did I misread something? I thought you gave me consent."

"I did," Dan mumbles into Phil’s chest.

"I would have stopped if you asked me to Dan, you should know tha-"

"It’s not anything like that Phil!" Dan shoves Phil away from him. "They’re happy tears..."

"What?" Phil asked. "No way, then why were you-"

"I thought you wouldn't want to be intimate with me because we had sex too soon last time Phil," Dan said, hurriedly. Phil still had a puzzled look on his face, clearly wanting Dan to elaborate more. "I feel like it was too easy."

Phil looked Dan in the eye, a spectrum of emotion flashing through Phil’s features, eventually settling somewhere between relief and laughter. Phil chuckled and kissed a very confused Dan.

Why is he laughing at me?

"Dan, you're my boyfriend," Phil said, making Dan’s heart flutter. He wasn't used to the term but still loved it with every ounce of his being. The term made him feel safe. "You’re not 'easy' if you sleep with your significant other! Jeez," Phil pulls Dan forward into a hug and is about to speak again when Dan interrupts.

"S-so you don’t think I’m a slag?" Phil’s face twists at the question. "What? No, Dan! For one, slags and sluts aren't real things. They aren't labels you should put on anyone, especially not yourself!" Phil sighed heavily and kissed Dan gently. "Stop talking about yourself like you're the one night stand to some creepy middle-aged dad."

Dan sniffled and nodded, gaze falling to his lap. Phil swept some hair out of Dan’s eyes and kissed him again.

"Dan," he said, guiding the younger’s head with his hand so that they were making eye contact. "I love you," Phil said in the most serious tone Dan had ever heard him use. The goofy smile that painted itself across Dan’s features made Phil’s heart melt.

Somehow after that, they ended up in Phil’s room, kissing on his bed and gently caressing each other. But Phil stopped himself from getting carried away and decided it would be best for Dan if they just cuddled and slept. Which he was right about.

Phil spooned Dan, the latter feeling warm and cared for. This was never something Dan knew he wanted, to be cared for and coddled, but apparently, he lives for it. Or at least he does when it comes to Phil. Dan feels warm and safe in Phil’s arms and heck, warm and safe under the label of being Phil’s boyfriend.

They fall asleep quickly, Phil cuddling Dan and Dan thanking him. The walls being the only other thing to hear their hushed whispers of 'I love you'. Well... the walls and maybe the 3 posters and cardboard cut out of Sarah Michelle Gellar.
