orange characters in media ilysm

Also just thought i'd share some stuff abt the design I came up for her here;

- She has eyebags bc of my hc of Cilantro usually staying up late to make the training scenarios back when she was under G.I Moe

- The glasses Cilantro wears has anti blue light properties due to her old job (again) but now that shes a (star)field agent she just wears them just bc + she feels weird going out without them on

- Her hair is supposed to represent both her tail nd crest!! the ponytail being the tail (duh) and the bangs being her crest

Humanizations

Daryl from a Post-Book 5 AU of mine

Daryl/Crackerdile being angry and cute as usual :0)

Mango and Brash doing something horrible

[migorify]

[crackerdilez]

so, do you ever imagine an alternate timeline where cilantro fully embraces their villain arc back in ants in our P.A.N.T.S.?

Yes! I surely wonder how would that have been like! Alongside with other things, like the fact that Cilantro was planned to be Mango's rival, and not his friend.

The idea of an AU where she actually was mean, and became a villain, sounds so cool. Oh my, that would also mean Agents of S.U.I.T never happening XD

[smashpages]

Surrounding Characters: Caleb

Age: Unknown

Birthday: Unknown

Occupation: Fighter pilot

Workplace: Deepspace Aviation Administration (DAA)

Family: Though not related by blood, he was also raised by Grandma Josephine and has a sibling relationship with the protagonist

Spoiler warning: If you have not finished Chapter 4 of the main story, this post contains major spoilers.

Details:

Caleb is the protagonist's childhood friend, a friend so integral to her life that she considers him family. Grandma Josephine also took him in when protaganist was 7 years old. The protaganist sees him as both reliable and trustworthy.

He attended Aerospace Academy in Skyhaven and now works as a fighter pilot for the Deepspace Aviation Administration (DAA). Once he started studies at the Aerospace Academy, he didn't see the protaganist much anymore. But he comes home to spend holidays with Grandma Josephine and protaganist.

Appearance:

He is always shown wearing a black hoodie underneath a DAA jacket, dark cargo pants with "DAA" on the left leg, and calf-high boots. He's even wearing this DAA outfit when leaving home for the Aerospace Academy. The jacket has "DAA" and "C6" embroidered on it, along with various symbols/logos. But I'm we've yet to learn what "C6" signifies.

On his left wrist, he wears a bracelet with one of the DAA symbols on it. And around his neck, he wears a necklace the protagonist gave him when he left for school.

Visiting Grandma Josephine:

When they both visit Grandma Josephine and have dinner, the TV news channel says there have been many recent explosions throughout Linkon City which the Hunter's Association has attributed to Wanderers.

"So far, 22 have been wounded with no casualties. We advise all citizens to be careful when outside...".

Caleb reacts by saying "Explosions, huh?" Before asking the protagonist if there have been many Wanderer activity recently.

During dinner, the protaganist gets an alert about Wanderers in the neighborhood. When she leaves to investigate, Caleb insists on going with her. She suspected he was trying to tag along with her, but he claimed he was just going the store to "buy some vinegar and whatnot".

After asking him to also get her some snacks and fruit and warning him not to follow her, Caleb finally enters the convenience store. But after the encounter with the mysterious man, Caleb returns notably empty handed. No vinegar, snacks, fruit, or any groceries in sight.

The protaganist keeps the encounter a secret so as not to worry Caleb and Grandma Josephine. When Caleb asks about it and she chalks it up to a false alarm, he's pretty offended that she wouldn't tell him what really happened.

"But why do you have to hide it from me? Don't you trust me now that we're all grown-up?"

"If not me, who else could you possibly turn to for..."

He stops mid-sentence with a small laugh. When asked about it, he says she wouldn't understand even if he told her and to forget it. He seems to let the situation go after this and tells her to hide the blood on her sleeve before coming in.

"Since you're a grown up now, I won't cover for you this time."

Seconds after he goes inside Grandma Josephine's house, the explosion occurs. His necklace somehow ends up outside the burning house next to where the protagonist landed.

Random Facts:

He calls the protaganist "pipsqueak" and Josephine "Gran"

He doesn't like cilantro

He can make braised chicken wings

He jokes(?) that he "talked her into becoming a hunter"

When the protaganist expresses concern for Grandma Josephine's health, Caleb announces that he applied for a long-term care ward for her (without consulting/informing either of them about it)

Zayne's family and the protaganist's family had been friends for years, occasionally getting together for meals. So, Caleb also knows Zayne, but he hasn't seen him in a long time

Written on his necklace are the words "When U come back". It was a parting gift the protaganist gave him before he left for the Aerospace Academy.

When Caleb calls her after her first day, he says things at his job have been peaceful and his current military flight operation had wrapped up nicely. But other than a few basic details, he says the information is top secret. The protaganist then says "everything is a secret with you people in the Deepspace Aviation Administration".

Speculation:

The Passing Car?

When Caleb is confronting the protaganist about lying to him, something kind of strange happens. Just as he's asking "If not me, who else could you possibly...", he trails off as we hear a car passing by. The light reflects off of his hair and face as it does. And it's after the car passes that he has that realization he says she wouldn't understand.

I only point this out because I've never seen that happen in scenes with other characters when they're near a street. Because of that, it felt like an intentional detail to potentially take note of?

The Explosion

I find it too eery of a coincidence that the topic of explosions comes up the same day there's an explosion at Grandma Josephine's house. And Caleb delaying her entry, going inside first, and the explosion happening seconds after he closes the door is kinda... kinda sus

Shadowed Man?

I won't rewrite it all here, but I posted this theory about Caleb and the shadowed man Rafayel meets at the Nest.

[mintazuii]

ok heres an explanation of my investigators au called the ever after au

its the future and all the suit agents have their own apartment. they are not retired yet, but they do not go to their jobs everyday, they stay at home unless its an emergency.

six and mango are now married and living in their own house, six is trans ftm, hes very hesitant and may easily get frightened, but he trusts his husband mango a lot. they would cuddle each other in their bed and have walks down a rainy sidewalk while mango carries an umbrella. mango is the big spoon, six is the little spoon. they also go out to visit their coworkers/friends.

brash and daryl live together, in this au daryl isnt dead, but he suffered an injury that he has a cast wrapped around his tail. brash was scared half to death that daryl couldve died from said injury, but he was very grateful that daryl is alive. they both have robobrash to help them clean up the kitchen when possible if they are busy doing other things. they treat robobrash as their own personal house assistant.

bongo and marsha are also married, and cilantro is living with them in an apartment. cilantro doesnt really like being called the "third wheel" of the married couple, she just likes living with them. bongo is more laid back when marsha does work from home, cilantro sometimes likes to help marsha with her work.

sven has retired and now works at a mall, more specifically in the fashion and clothing sections of the mall. it isnt known that he designs his own clothes. general inspector is now a judge, and monocle is now a nurse, daryl would go to her hospital so that she can check on his tail and how hes doing in general.

there are more characters but for now have these. i was thinking of doing zeb next but eh idk what role i should give him

[macawbre]

[Fake mint candy]: Unlike the bowl of red, green and white spirals, this bowl had been filled with deep blue pieces also labeled as mints. The color is further from a mint representation so she is skeptical. She picks up one of the pieces and brings it to her nose to investigate. It has a waxy, artificial smell to it. 

Turning to the person beside her, she holds it up. “I have my doubts these are labeled correctly. What do you think they could be?”

"Huh? You want me to be your lab rat?" Henry squinted, looking at the weird deep blue bits staring back at him like sad, dinky little treats. "Nya ha ha~ Ooooh! Mysterious treats! Just make sure none of my crows get a load of these, or else they might end up croaking."

He grabbed a handful of them and CHOMP. Ugh... You visibly withered at the taste, bitter and bubbly and... "Oh Grima below, you're trying to poison me.................."

"They kind of taste like if you hexed me with a cilantro curse. Don't ask why I know what that feels like..." His entire face was scrunched up, but he still kept chewing. Henry blew a miserable bubble, despite his own emotions dusting away.

"Now its your turn, kiddo! Go on, have a taste."

[divergentmisfit-fandomsblog]

Figured Lisa Trammel had killed her husband. It’s telling how she tried controlling investigation from the start & her reactions any time her husband was mentioned, claimed there was no abuse but he disappeared when he could have had half her business and when she was confronted, suddenly claimed there was abuse… But burying him under the cilantro that he hated so much & tending to that every day? Her dead husband’s corpse being fertiliser for the cilantro she puts in her food?!?! MA’AM! *clutches pearls*

Oboro/Kurogiri x Reader.

Caretaker (Stockholm Syndrome)

(I do not own My Hero Academia or the characters within. Anything associated with that fandom belongs to Horikoshi Kohei. This story belongs to my 2023 Spice-tober collection. I hope you enjoy. If this story isn’t your cup of tea, blend of spices, or brew of coffee move on. Reader discretion is advised.)

(picture is the cover art from chapter 373 of the Manga. Done by Horikoshi Kohei. I didn't draw it

TW: Stockholm syndrome, mention of death, wounds.

WC: 2,913

Oboro was walking along his usual route in the forest, enjoying the fresh air. Off in the distance he saw something shivering in the cold and walked closer, finding you under a thin, ragged blanket. His blue eyes widened and something changed on him as a dark, shadowy persona took over his appearance, covering up his face until it only showed a blank face, except for two yellow glowing eyes with wavering wisps at the corners. He picked you up and carried you back down the path that he came, taking you into his cozy cabin where he set you on the couch and waited for you to wake up.

You woke up a little while later. Your head was throbbing and every part of your body was hurting. You sat up and looked around the area that you were in since it had changed from last you remember. You saw that you were in a log cabin that was small but it had all the basic needs for at least two people. You looked over and saw the man who was covered in shadows. His appearance was a bit odd though as he was completely enveloped in shadow except for his eyes which were a vibrant yellow and wisps almost wrapped around his head from the corner of his eyes if you could even tell where his head was. The top of his head where his hair would be was more shadow but it danced in a way that is like the way that the flames from the fireplace danced and gave some illumination to the otherwise dark and slightly eerie cabin. He also had a piece of metal armor that kept his neck and spinal cord protected from any kind of attack.

“It’s about time that you woke up.” The man spoke. He was sitting in a chair, not too far from where you were sitting. His elbows were on his knees and his hands… what you could tell were his hands were gently folded in his lap.

You pressed yourself against the back of the couch where you were seated in fear of the person before you. You remembered seeing him on the news with the Hosu incident when Stain was at large over a year ago. Since then, there hadn’t been much news featuring him or any of the other members of the League of Villains that he was associated with.

“You’re that Warpgate villain from the news! Why did you bring me here? Is your Master wanting to turn me into one of the monsters that looks like you?” You asked.

“No. I am no longer apart of the group known as the League of Villains. It has since then changed into the Paranormal Liberation Front. I was once captured but I have since broken free. I have been living here in peace. I found you on one of my walks through the forest and I brought you back here. You were cold and very beaten up. I could have left you out there.” The shadowy man spoke.

“I see. Thank you for saving me.” You spoke and looked down.

“You’re welcome. I’ll make you some tea to help you warm up.” Kurogiri spoke, standing from his chair and going to the kitchen part of his cabin. You waited on the couch until he came back with a mug holding a type of tea that you have never smelled before.

“What kind of tea is this?” You asked as you investigated the contents of the mug.

“Lime, cilantro, and mint. It’s good and has been known to calm nerves.” Kurogiri told you as he sat down across from you again and watched you drink the tea. You shift a little in your seat and you feel zinging pain shooting up from your leg and you hissed in pain, finally realizing how much you were really beaten up and bruised.

“I bandaged your wounds to the best of my ability with what I had here in my cabin. A couple of your wounds I had to stitch up and I’ll keep an eye on so it doesn’t get infected. But you should get as much rest as you can. If you have any questions, you should wait until you have some strength back.” He told you. You nodded and finished your tea before laying back down and closing your eyes.

You woke up to something smelling amazing. You looked over at the kitchen and saw someone in Kurogiri’s clothes but they looked a little more human-like but with pale blue hair that seemed to float on its own. He was cooking something in a pan when you sat up and stared at him blankly. He turned around and smiled.

“Well, good evening, Y/n! How did you sleep?” He asked in a cheery tone. This freaked you out a little so you backed up against the arm of the couch and panicked.

“Where did Kurogiri go?” You asked as you were confused.

“Oh, he’s right here.” The new guy spoke, making dark clouds emit from his body and wrap around him, bringing Kurogiri back. You calmed down a bit and steadied your breathing.

“I am sorry to have scared you, Y/n. I was taking a little nap. The other person is Oboro. He’s my host. He won’t hurt you at all. If you don’t mind, I’d like to continue my nap.” Kurogiri explained. You nodded and the dark shadowy clouds disappeared back into Oboro.

“Now that’s all figured out, how do you like your eggs? I’m making some for the both of us.” He offered. You told him how you liked your eggs and he went back into the kitchen. He came back a little while later with his food. He then sat down with you ate the two of you ate in silence.  You broke the silence by asking Oboro something.

“Do you remember much from before Kurogiri came into your life?” You asked. He paused and looked up at you.

“Not really. The time he came into my life was kinda blurry. But, I do remember two people that I think were my friends. I just don’t know what happened to them.” He spoke, finishing his food and looking to your plate and offering to take your plate from you as it looked as if you were finished.

You handed him your plate and he took it from you, heading into the kitchen and cleaning up the dishes. You looked around the cabin while you waited for him to finish the dishes. There was a fireplace with a decently sized television that you hadn’t noticed until now, a small radio on the mantle just below the Tv, and a few books set on either end of the mantle. Oboro came back over and started a fire within the fireplace. He looked over to you and smiled.

“How are you feeling?” He asked.

“I’m doing okay. I am a bit tired though.” You told him. He walked over and checked a bandage on your side.

“We should get this changed. I’ll go grab the bandages and gauze. Can you begin to unwrap what’s here?” He asked. You nodded and with his help, you found the end and began to unwrap the soiled bandage from your body. He came back with a fresh set of clean bandages and some antiseptic salve to put on your wounds. He began by looking over the wound in your side and checking your ribcage.

“A couple of your ribs are still bruised, but they will heal in time. There are a few open cuts that I’m going to put this salve on the cuts to help speed up the healing process. Then the bandages will go back on and I want you to rest. Is that clear?” You heard Kurogiri speak. You were noticing a change in their voices. Kurogiri would have a deeper voice than Oboro’s when he was present. He looked up at you, wondering if you had heard him, seeming to raise a figurative eyebrow. You snapped yourself out of your trance and nodded.

“Yes. I’ll get some rest.” You responded and waited for him to examine your wounds. He peels back the layer of gauze that covered the main extent of the burned out flesh in your side.

“Most of the wound is cauterized from whatever burned you but it is still a good habit to clean the wound to prevent infection.” He told you as he gingerly cleaned the wound with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol. You hissed in pain as it stung on contact but you tried your best to stay still as he tended to your wounds. Once he was done, he applied the salve to your wound before applying gauze and bandages to the area to keep the gauze in place and any dirt out of the wound. He then put the medical supplies away and he let you be to rest on the couch. There was a gentle and caring way that he tended to your wounds that made you somehow fall in love with him a little bit more. You didn’t know why though but you liked him. He then went to the mantle and pulled down one of the books to read while you slept.

The next few days went by in a similar manner. He would make breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the both of you while attending to your wounds in-between meals and stories that he would read to you from the books and movies he would share with you when you asked if the two of you could watch a movie or a show with him. But you were getting restless and you wanted to go outside.

“Could we go outside today please? I’d like to accompany you on your walks.” You asked. Kurogiri sighed and set down the knife that he was using to prepare some vegetables for that night’s dinner.

“I thought we went over this yesterday. You’re not entirely healed yet and I don’t want to risk you getting injured further.” He told you as he turned to look at you.

“We did. But I’m getting restless and tired of walking only within the cabin. I want to go outside. Besides, the fresh air would help with my healing process anyways.” You told him.

“Fine. You may accompany me this time. But you are to stay close and don’t stray far from where I am walking, Is that understood?” He told you. You nodded and got up, finding your shoes with a pile of your clothes that had been cleaned and folded nicely on a chair next to the couch.

“Get changed. Its cold outside and I don’t want you to get sick.” Kurogiri told you and left the room to give you some privacy to get changed before the two of you would head out on a daily walk. Once you were changed, you went out into the living area and up to the front door where Kurogiri was waiting for you.

“Are you ready?” He asked. You nodded and you took his arm as the two of you left the cabin. Kurogiri locked the door behind him and walked with you down the path that he normally took with you just ahead of him so he could keep an eye on you. You enjoyed the fresh air and the ability to stretch out and not be cramped up in the cabin all day.

“Are you enjoying yourself, Y/n?” Kurogiri asked.

“Yes. It feels nice to be out of the cabin for a little while. Thanks for letting me come with you today, Kurogiri.” You told him as you walked along the path.

“I’m glad and you’re welcome. I think I’ll bring you on these walks more in the future. Being outside really brightens your personality and makes you look happier.” He told you. You nodded and walked along the path until Kurogiri stopped you.

“Its time we go back. I don’t want you pushing yourself on your first day out of the house.” He told you. You were a bit sad at this thought but you agreed. You walked back with Kurogiri to the house to see that the front door was ajar. Kurogiri perked up and stopped in his tracks.

“Wait here, Y/n. It looks like someone has broken into the house. I’ll go investigate.” He told you. You were a bit worried about who or what could be inside but you did as you were told and you waited outside. You watched as Kurogiri went inside. You waited a few minutes before you got chilled and went inside. You were also curious as to what was going on so when you went inside, you saw that Kurogiri was pinned against the wall as one of the two heroes that had broken into the house The hero that had Kurogiri pinned to the wall had black, shoulder-length, wavy hair, an eyepatch and two scars that intersected just below the eyepatch, and a gray capture weapon that held your caretaker against the wall.

“Let him go! He hasn’t done anything wrong. He hasn’t harmed me at all. Please, just let him go.” You pleaded with the heroes. The first hero’s partner who was a tall blonde that had a type of loudspeaker around his neck, a leather jacket and pants, and headphones over his ears that approached you.

“Are you Y/n?” He asked. You nodded and looked at Kurogiri.

“Listen to them. They have a reason for being here, Y/n.” He told you. You nodded and sat down with the blonde Hero.

“Your parents have been looking for you and they are worried about you. They have been searching for you for a long time now. We followed the trail of where you had been until we found this cabin. We broke in and found your clothes and belongings that matched the description that your parents gave us. Now the question is; do you want to come back with us?” He asked. You thought for a moment then shook your head no.

“I don’t want to go back. I am just fine here. Kurogiri is good to me. He hasn’t hurt me. He’s cared for me and has helped me with my healing process. If you ask him, he cares for me too. He saved me from the cold so I wouldn’t get sick and die.” You told the hero, standing up for the man that saved you.

“Alright. I hear you. We can’t force you to leave but we will send someone to come and check in on you, okay?” He spoke. You nodded and the hero left, telling his partner what was going on. The hero with the capture weapon let Kurogiri go. He immediately went to you to make sure that you were okay, Kurogiri disappeared for a moment and Oboro appeared.

“Are you okay? Did he hurt you?” He asked.

“No. I’m okay. Did that hero hurt you?” You asked him as you looked him over.

“No. He pulled his capture weapon a little tight since he remembered Kurogiri from a couple past incidents that he was still involved with the League.” He reassured you. This helped you relax but you heard metal hit the wood of the floor as the hero with the eyepatch dropped his knife, he used to cut sections of his capture weapon with as he was paused in the door way to the bedroom, staring at Oboro in disbelief.

“N-no. It can’t be. You are dead! We were at your funeral all those years ago! How can you be alive!?” He spoke. Oboro’s eyes widened.

“Shouta? Hizashi? Is that you? its me! Oboro! I am alive. I have been all this time but some mad doctor turned me into this.” He spoke, letting Kurogiri come out and cover his body again with the shadowy clouds.

Shouta and Hizashi looked at their long-lost friend and Shouta stepped forward slowly, approaching Kurogiri and hugging him. The shadowy clouds slipped away again and Oboro appeared. He hugged his friend back and they were happily reunited.

Shouta pulled away after a moment and looked at his friend.

“We will find a way to help you. Don’t worry. You and Y/n can stay here. Hizashi and I will come check on you when we can. Y/n, we will tell your parents that we found you but you didn’t want to come back. That you were happy living here on your own.” Shouta told you. You nodded, happy with the answer and you thanked the heroes.

“I am more than capable to care for Y/n on my own. But the occasional visit would be lovely.” Kurogiri told them before they left.  They agreed and walked back down the path they came up to the cabin from as you and Kurogiri watched them leave. Once they were gone, the two of you went back to living together happily, and alone.

The End.

“…You okay, Kiddo? I’m sorry I lied to you… I genuinely didn’t expect you to want to get so involved in everything. Was just tryin’ to spice things up.” She frowns, folding her arms tightly and looking at the ground “Thought that was something you and Arven could have fun solving together”

"NO!" Celeste shouted immediately without even thinking. She had started hyperventilating with faint sounds of Celeste breathing in and out. She never liked being directly lied to; whether that'd be from a stranger or someone close to her like Rika.

A low growl came from Cilantro; though it wasn't anger directed at Rika for her role in all this. Instead it was the usual reason; Rika trying to comfort his trainer when he had already been doing it, but that wouldn't stop them from working together in the task. They both wanted the same outcome.

"It's what I get for being selfish isn't it...?" Celeste as she had hit the sides of her head a few times, "No...I was the one to find out you asked to borrow Director Clavell's Meowscarada...I should be happy enough to have that credit in all this..."

She was trying to make herself not think about this as being her fault. That even though Celeste had joined the investigation, she should have some pride that her theory of Flower Trick having distinct scents of a Meowscarada had lead to finding the true trainer of said pokemon.

"But who knows if Mr. Saguaro will even come back to the festival now...."
