Albus is the shameful crush of so many Hogwarts girls (and boys!). Like they all gag whenever the idea of dating the Slytherin Squib is brought up but when they notice him sitting in the courtyard and the sun flashes on his face in such a way that makes his olive skin glow and his usually dark eyes shine bright green, they swoon so hard.

Also yes. Albus has olive undertones, compared to his siblings neutral/cool ones . He wears winter or spring colours best.

i love being a neurodiversity affirming healthcare practitioner, i love saying—with the full weight of all my education and training and all the letters behind my name—get a little autistic with it. you don’t have to abide by all the social norms that you don’t like. it’s okay to engage in that sensory-seeking behavior, you have ADHD and you need it. every day, i get to encourage people to lean into the parts of themselves that others have told them to hide, and they listen to me because i’m an authority! and then their lives improve! it’s wild. i love us 💞

I like to rep multiple types of trans people in my art! I'll draw trans people who pass most of the time, all the time, and never. I want to show all types of experiences! Drawing trans people of different races is also HUGE because beauty standards are different for every culture and loads of trans BIPOC don't fit neatly into white ones.

to cis artists, yr allowed to draw trans characters to be clockable, in fact i encourage it. it's not politically incorrect or offensive to depict trans people as being obviously trans, especially if you're drawing cartoons. its not a stereotype a lot of us just look like that

being in a class with mostly people 2 semesters under me is so odd because I'll be like "what are these 17 year olds doing here" while they could very well be older than me

man people do not fucking talk enough about how draining day to day life is when you have ADHD, specifically with regards to how others perceive you in your day-to-day functioning. NT people truly cannot conceive what it's like to have memory issues or operating on a different sleep schedule or having a different system of doing things in GENERAL than what makes sense to their A-B-C simplistic thought patterns.

it's being accused of not paying attention to what you're doing just because you forgot something, haven't established something as muscle memory as fast as they want you to, haven't memorized a process after doing it a single time.

it's being talked down to like they're "catching you" doing something bad when you try to advocate for yourself by shutting you down with "if you were paying attention you wouldn't forget" or "you forgot? okay, so don't do that next time"

it's the constant surveillance by coworkers and supervisors once they've flagged you as "flighty" after your first minor slip-up and the targeted criticism and smug i-told-you-sos when you confirm their unfair suspicions by forgetting something else so they can go "ah-HA! CAUGHT YOU! you ARE a slacker, and i'm a Good Citizen for BUSTING YOU"

it's the being pulled aside for a condescending, paternalistic chiding and scolding by control freak managers who catch you arriving a minute later than usual - no doubt often the same managers who show up half an hour late with starbucks 24/7 (true fuckin story ask me how i know)

it's the people who claim to support you STILL going on to read hostile, malicious intent into your every move that doesn't fit nicely in with how they believe tasks should be completed - never understanding that their fuckin Big Brother meddling and nosy spying is only making everything worse, for you, for them and for everyone else trying to get things done.

I keep on forgetting mitch and mcdavid are the same draftclass simply because mitchy looks two years old and mcdavid has the second best (quinn hughes number one) 1000 yard stare and the visual age of 75

mitch has chronic and interminable babyface and The Crown Lies Heavy on davo's head. anyway here's a photo of them as opponents when they were 7 years old

i think it's pretty obvious who's who

Can I request la squadra with a reader with a biting problem? NOT in a kinky way, like they basically chew on anything they can like a dog. That pen that someone lost? Readers chewing on it. The strings on your hoodie are busted? They were chewed on by reader. THANK YOU 🙏

La Squadra x Reader with a Biting Problem Headcanons

I'm so sorry for taking so long to get to this 😅😅 been focusing on other stuff lately and been forgetting to write

Formaggio

- Oh he also has a biting problem!!

- If you had a nickel for every time you saw Formaggio get ink all over him for biting a pen too hard, you'd get two nickels

- He doesn't mind your bad habit, he thinks it's adorable!

- It's not a big deal to him, just another cute quirk you both share

- Bite him he'd bite you back <3

Illuso

- He's going to act disgusted even though you know he has the same biting habit

- You'd loan him a pencil and he'd return it with the eraser accidentally bit off

- He's in complete denial about it though. Might try to convince you that you did it.

- He's a terrible liar and stubborn so it's useless trying to argue about it

- Tease him and he'd get so pouty about it, crossing his arms and rolling his eyes at you

Prosciutto

- Okay yeah I think he's the only one who doesn't share anything with you because he fears you chewing on his stuff

- And also unfortunately for you he will always be in someone's business

- He'd see you chew on the neckline of your shirt and he'd lightly scold you like "What are you, a goat? Stop it."

- I promise you he can be caring about it

- For example he cares a lot about the condition of your clothes. That's why you don't chew on it. See, he's helpful.

Pesci

- He's a chronic biter too, but he does it out of nerves!

- Constantly asks if you're okay when he sees you fidgeting and biting something

- Sure he knows you just do it when you're bored, but this man is always stressed and worries that you might be getting anxious over something too

- Pesci has a bad habit of biting his nails, thinking about you both reminding each other to break the habit!

- Pesci is just super supportive, having someone like him to help him to stop biting is a major relief

Melone

- Melone doesn't care for the most part, he just asks you to refrain from chewing around his juniors

- He doesn't like to think about the chaos that'd bring if Babyface decided to eat anything and everything they see because they wanted to copy your behavior

- But Melone is ever the teasing type, he sees you chewing on a pen or him, and he's always going to make it something more than it actually is

- Like he's the kind of guy to ask for one of your chewed up pencils just bite and lick at it, all while maintaining eye contact.

- All in the efforts to fluster, make you mad, etc. Everything you do is amusing to him

Ghiaccio

- Reader you are so lucky he likes you because it's one of his major pet peeves

- Ghiaccio doesn't like it, you will get certain privileges revoked because you chew on his things

- Things you're banned from: His pens, pencils, hoodies, erasers, literally anything in his room

- But also it irritates him that he's picked up your biting habit

- It's when he's in deep thought and working, he'll occasionally chew on a pen or bite through the wires on his headphones

Risotto

- I think he tries to mind his business about it, he doesn't outwardly say his thoughts on the biting problem, but it's telling that you have never even held one of his pens

- Risotto doesn't think it's gross, he just likes to have things without bite marks, y'know?

- Literally he only cares if it's his own stuff getting bit, with everything else he believes you and the others can talk it out

- If you're even closer to him, he may find it endearing.

- It's like seeing someone focussing with their tongue poking out, it's just a weirdly cute quirk of yours

This is a phenomenon I see FREQUENTLY and it pisses me TF off as an East Asian person.

It's when East Asian characters are whitewashed in fanart. But it's subtle!!!! It's REAAAL Subtle!!!! AND IT TICKS ME OFF MAN I HATE IT!!!!

Using Daisuke Mouthwashing as an example for no reason other than I like him.

First off. NOSE AND BROWBONE. Most if not all East Asian people typically have a very soft contour of the forehead to the tip of the nose. The whole "nonexistent nosebridge" thing is REAL, MAN.

Second: EYES. I know people make racist jokes about East Asian people having squinty eyes but it's true so I'd appreciate more East Asian characters drawn with thin eyes please and thank you very much.

Traits that are read more easily as "white" are pronounced browbone, upturned nose, larger eyes, etc.

See how I changed NOTHING except for the forehead, nose, and eyes? And already it makes a WORLD of difference. You don't even have to make the nose as flat as I did here ^^ literally it is JUST the curvature.

Not only this but people also tend to give characters like Daisuke really pronounced angular cheekbones which???? I'll be fair!!! There are East Asian people with the second version below's bone structure (myself included). But the point is that it's not the character. Daisuke in the game has chronic babyface and yet SO MANY FANARTIST GIVE HIM SHARP FEATURES ROUND OUT THOSE CURVES BROTHER YOU'RE KILLING ME.

SEE HOW THESE ARE TWO ENTIRELY DIFFERENT PEOPLE

DO YOU SEE HIM??????? DO YOU SEE MY BOY??????? DO YOU SEE HIS ROUND CHEEKS AND HIS FLAT FUCKING FACE I'M GOING TO START THROWING HANDS.

Don't even get me started on the whitening of skin tones I'll actually throw a fit.

It is NOT THAT HARD to accommodate for a variety of features. THATS HOW WE GROW AS ARTISTS. Venture out of your comfort zone!!! Try something new!!!!! It's not as scary as it seems I promise!!!! Just PLEASEEEEEE PLEASE PLEASE IM BEGGINGGG

(Don't think I need to say this but this is not a strict rule. Humans are diverse and just because a trait is “typical” doesn't mean everyone in that people group has it. This is just me angrily and loudly protesting a microaggression that is unfortunately very prevalent, especially in fandom.)

IVE FINISHED THEORISING okay so i know you're going to just brush me off as crazy and say my theory is wrong BUT I DONT CARE the world needs to hear me

i noticed in the sneak peek you gave us there was a distinct lack of MC, in fact, there was a distinct lack of a LOT of characters; Ghiaccio and Risotto are the only ones present, and we are at least told that Melone, Illuso and Prosciutto are alive - but nothint on the rest, AND at the same time, we are told THREE people are dead.

i think its safe to assume that if you were to kill anyone in la squadra it would be Gelato and Sorbet; their deaths fuel La Squadra's narrative and i dont think the plot of the series would have gone the same way if they lived, additionally, they are not love interests in the story so they serve no narrative purpose OTHER than pushing La Squadra's fate - so, i think by chapter 22 they'll be dead, but that begs the question, who is the third person who died?

my dearest Chronically Online, you cannot fool me; IT IS MC WHO IS DEAD. she isn't mentioned ONCE in the sneak peek, BUT, Melone is said to be "so depressed he cant even look up from his laptop" and Ghiaccio claims that Babyface his picking up on someone's DNA in Sardinia, this person is referred to as "she" NOW at first i thought they were talking about Trish, but Ghiaccio seemed *too* emotionally invested in this supposed "she" for it to be Trish, AND, Risotto claims he needs to "grieve" but has no time to do so because he needs to go to Sardinia; why else would he be grieving unless someone he loved died?

SO I THINK, somehow, during the events of VA, MC gets seperated from La Squadra in a way that makes them *think* she's dead, but she's not. if she's in Sardinia, then that means she's probably with Bruno? EITHER WAY i cant wait for you to post more chapters im literally shaking and biting my nails I NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS

you are actually insane. like. genuinely, im not even joking anymore, go outside, touch some grass, breathe in fresh air, im going to block you on Ao3 because i think thatd be better for your mental health

[dottie-n-stripes]

highly amused at Stripes being a little insecure about having a babyface entirely because all i can picture is him getting carded every time he goes to the Squiquer (squid liquer) store even though he's probably just buying soda and chips (unless he's suddenly gonna start throwing back bottles of Magners and chaining Superking Menthols idk). Sorry stipey, the Baby™️ diagnosis is chronic

PFFT oh he'll probably get carded for years. but it's always stuff like this
