five headcanons facts about tegan jovanka

tegan had/has childhood asthma & dust allergies. it doesn't really worry her now, but it does make her a bit more sympathetic to turlough's slightly familar, albeit different, struggles than she otherwise would be.

tegan is high masking autistic. she's always been a toe walker, that's why she likes high heels despite... everything. her special interest is aviation and everything to do with planes. she is also dyslexic and has adhd. she struggled in school, and as a child adopted a bit of a "class clown" persona to compensate. as an adult she likes to read and enjoys it, she's just slightly slow.

there's not a vehicle out there that tegan can't drive. tractor? check, on her family's farm, ever since she was a child. car? of course. plane? absolutely, you think she wouldn't grab any chance to do that? well, she did and she has. motorcycle? check, she learned from an incredibly hot goth butch she met at a bar one night after time flight and after losing her job. (she was so lost and didn't even know exactly what was happening, she was just going with the flow of things, but somehow she ended up clinging to this girl's back, arms wrapped around her black leather jacket, nose in her buzzed hair... as they flew down the highway at midnight.... and then the next thing she knew they were switching spots and tegan was in front, and this girl, person?, whose name she didn't even know, was guiding her every movement and then tegan was the one flying... and... and... well it was probably all best forgotten about actually, because she didn't know how to deal with all that, she wasn't ready, not yet.) sontaran spaceship? check, if "crashing extremely violently" counts as driving it, but that truly wasn't her fault. the tardis? well, she's working on it.

she can also ride horses of course, but she isn't particularly a horse girl. she prefers goats, or llamas.

she's afraid she isn't capable of living successfully in the "real world". she's never held down a job, the only time she tried she failed, her whole adulthood has been spent in the tardis, she doesn't know how to be anyone else and deep down, worries she couldn't even if she wanted to.

good mornings throughout the travel

[ID: Two comics of Vash and Wolfwood from Trigun Maximum. The second is underneath the read more.

The first is in four panels and follows Vash and Wolfwood through hotel rooms. First, Vash and Wolfwood exit adjacent rooms, and Wolfwood has sparkles floating around him as he exclaims, “Rise and shine! Ready to go?” Vash frowns, displeased, and says, Urk— Good morning to you too.”

Next, they’re in a room with two beds. Wolfwood is awake and fully dressed. He’s sitting on the bed and smoking, back turned away from the viewer and he says, “Wake up already, sleepyhead.” Vash sits up with his eyes still closed and yawns before saying good morning. After that, they’re sharing a bed, and Wolfwood gets up and says, “Morning, sunshine. Time to get up.” His body shadows Vash from the sunlight. Vash is still lying down with a blanket draped over him as he mumbles good morning.

Finally, they’re embracing in bed, both shirtless. Sunlight shines on them, but their contact allows their shadows to drape over their faces. Vash smiles, kisses the top of Wolfwood’s head, and says, “Good morning, Wolfwood.” Wolfwood sleepily says, “Mph, g’morning, needle-noggin’,” snuggling into on Vash’s shoulder. End ID] ID CREDIT

TRIMAX Vol. 10 Spoilers under read more // bonus comic

[ID: The bonus comic starts with Vash asleep in bed, fully clothed with his hair half-black. Someone says “Good morning,” and Vash says, “Morning, Wolf—w...” He trails off as Livio, holding a plate of food, stares with abject shock.

Livio says, “I’m sorry.” Vash, smiling but sweating, says, “No, it’s my bad...” Livio repeats, “I’m sorry.” Vash says, “Geez, stop apologizing,” and cuts off Livio’s “I—” with a “Good morning, Livio.” Livio quietly mumbles, “... Good morning...”

Vash sits up from the couch he was sleeping on and looks down, thinking, “... That’s right. I won’t wake up to you anymore... I have to get used to that...” End ID]

Maybe I'm just looking way too deep into this, but I think the reason that BBS uses a command system instead of letting you freely use skills and magic because Masterhood requires you to discipline yourself and do things 'by the book'

And that's why in both BBS and DDD a command system is used, because the primary goals is to become a Master. You want to do things 'correctly' so that you can prove that you really understand how a Keyblade works.

(and also, funnily enough, the ones who seem to have the most freedom in this rigid system is Ven and Sora, who only want to be Masters by association of their friends)

And then in KH3, even though Sora was technically trying to be a Keyblade Master alongside Riku, he goes back to the normal action commands menu, because Sora never truly cared for being a master. But.... even then...

The game lets you play as Riku and Aqua, who have become Keyblade Masters, and the combat system doesn't change (and don't you dare stop me here and say, 'Andrew that's because it would be silly to change a combat system for two briefly playable characters' BECAUSE THAT'S NOT THE POINT). They've grown from the games where they achieved Masterhood and they realized the limitations of their teachers and of Mastery itself.

Aqua realized how fragile the balance truly is and Riku, time and time again, learned that doing things 'by the book' entails completely denying the darkness. Both of their struggles stem from darkness - Aqua rejecting it and Riku being unable to reject it. And they learn that the books were wrong: darkness can't be eliminated. They realize how their teachers have failed them, to an extent, and don't hold themselves to their exact teachings.

But, this is only a small example of breaking the toxic cycle their Masters taught them and RIKU IS STILL THE PRIMARY ONE TO LEAD THE CHANGE TO TRULY ACCEPTING BOTH LIGHT AND DARK (ROAD TO DAWN), AND OF COURSE, RIKU ONLY FINDS THE LIGHT BECAUSE OF SORA AND SORA ALSO HAS DARKNESS HE NEEDS TO ACCEPT, SO THEY'RE BOTH THE ONES TO LEAD THE CHANGE, SO THE COMMAND SYSTEM ACTUALLY PROVES SORIKU ENDGAME ANDliterary analysis is my special interest

i want to talk about robins trailer again!

following up from this post + a cool thread i saw earlier compiling lots of details i didn't notice in the trailer! (and the morse code post)

mostly really interested in the fact that this whole thing is filmed and directed by sunday

(sc from twt thread)

i said earlier that robin must feel like she doesn't want to let down both sunday and the family, both as his sister and the "pride of the family". but this clearly shows that he's the one pulling the strings, or at least one of them.

(as i type this out, i realize the usage of "pulling the strings" could relate back to the imagery of puppets we've been seeing. they are present in robin's trailer and also seen in the 2.2 penacony trailer)

(and of course, another puppet on strings...)

not sure where i'm going with this because tbh i got side tracked because i had the realization while writing. just some cool consistent puppet imagery, obviously symbolic, just don't feel like thinking about this rn lol

ANYWAY, my original train of thought was going towards sunday being a huge pressure on her, whether intentionally or not, he's clearly got his own shit going on... but i also feel like this gives new meaning to something else i pointed out a bit ago (post)

sunday is always right behind robin! she's always in the spotlight while he looms in the shadows. another thing tho, the same person who posted that twt thread i linked to pointed out that our bird friend is seen in the corner watching robin perform (x)

in the upper right corner!

(though, ive seen speculation that the bird is not sunday's but the dreammaster's! either way, sunday is still the most involved with her in the context of my post...)

now, going back to what i really want to talk about in the first place - director sunday. i do think this is more symbolic than anything, and coming from robin's perspective as this is her trailer.

sunday is a perfectionist obsesed with control and robin's public image may not be spared from that. she may feel that sunday is essentially breathing down her neck, whether or not sunday is aware he's making her feel like this. i've always thought that sunday's perfectionism and his obsessiveness have bled into his love for his sister and their relationship as a whole. again, she clearly does not want to let him down specifically, especially when they're supposedly working towards a childhood dream.

it's just! this whole thing about freedom, or the lack of it. robin is a caged bird and that's become explicit in her trailer. who knows wtf sunday's deal is, but he's also clearly under SO much pressure, he's the head of the oak family and ALSO needs to be nothing less than perfect. dude had a whole speech about it. i also imagine they both don't talk about any negative feelings related to this, maybe even wanting to keep up appearances around each other too.

i feel like i dont have anything else to say. i just mainly wanted to talk about some observations and stuff. i am very much looking forward to 2.2 coming out later, im SO excited to dig into sunday because he is the most intriguing and mysterious to me. their relationship is just so so so interesting, im so excited to see it in all of its glory later.

and mandatory note bc i am an anxious person, i do a lot of talking out of my ass and this is just exactly that.

(uh i scrolled up to read this post over and saw i linked back to a morse code post and didn't talk about that at all. well there's SOS morse code in robins trailer! that's fucked up! what else can i say)

Mcd, no happy ending

Soap is in ghost's office, across from the man himself. Ghost is doing paperwork, while soap scribbles furiously in his notebook, turning his pencil over to erase something every so often. His tongue pokes out of the corner of his mouth, and ghost isn't sure what he's working in but he doesn't want to disturb him.

It's hours before soap looks up from his work and looks at the time, it's late in the afternoon. The cafe will be mostly empty by now, but with soap finally pausing his scribbles ghost drags him up to go eat anyway. Soap rolls his eyes, but snaps his book closed and follows.

Ghost wonders what soap was doing. He asks, but soap just tells him he'll find out another time. So he lets it go. Soap knows when to not ask him questions, so he'll respect his wishes.

It's months later when he finds out, he's all but forgotten about it. Soap had been sent on a a solo mission that ghost had no record of. Soap did not return, all ghost got in return was a measly peice of worn paper folded in half down the middle and then one more time.

It was like his world was crash, falling, burning, exploding. And then it wasn't, it was like his world had frozen mid-crash-and-burn, and he was numb again. He took that damn paper and left, retreated to the safety of his room.

He didn't bother flicking on the light after the door clicked shut behind him. He sat heavily on his bed, gripping that paper. He sighed, steeling himself for what the page might hold for him. He made a motion to open the paper. It didn't budge, he couldn't get his fingers to work.

Did price know? He should go tell price that soap hadn't made it back from whatever mission he was sent on. Where did he go? Who assigned it to him? It wasn't price, was it? No price wouldn't do that. Did gaz know about this? Surely not, if ghost didn't. Right? Or maybe soap did tell his fellow Sergent. He set the paper on his bedside and left.

If would be months before he touched it again. And when he finally did, it was to the sight of his face, maskless, happy, and etched in graphite on yellowed paper. It was so inexplicably not how he felt.He flipped it over, and saw words, scratched in thay same graphite. He only got as far as

"My dear sweet simon,"

Before he refolded that damn paper, and shoved it onto his desk. Never to be forgotten, but never to be read either. Reading it felt like... like ripping ehat was left of his cold heart out of his chest to let it- the pain- him go. And he simply couldn't do that. Not now. Not ever.

Simon stuck to impossible solo missions from then on, Hoping it would kill him, and it did. Not two full years after the death of John 'Soap' Mactavish, Simon 'Ghost' Riley bit the bullet, Literally. A single sniper shot right between the eyes, made Lieutenant Riley's death permanent.

And the lonely note sat unread on his desk, for forever now. The contents of which would have read the following, if it had been opened:

My dear sweet simon,

I hope you know that I love you with all my heart, even in death. I love you with everything I have, and you have shown me the same ten times over.

I have cherrished every tumble into bed, every late night dance, every cooking mishap, every mission, and every show we watched, every drink at the bar, every shitty joke we told eachother, every hungover morning after a night of heavy drinking. I have loved it all, because I had you by my side. And I would do anything for you to be happy by my side.

And that is why I am so deeply sorry for not telling you. I knew for months, I'm sorry. I just wanted you to have some more happy memories not tainted by death and violence. I just wanted to be happy because you were happy for just a little longer.

Please don't blame price. He had no idea. The order was directly from the general, he went right over price and Laswell's heads. It was a doomed mission from the start so they needed someone with the right skills and enough unimportance, and I happened to be the lucky candidate to check all their boxes.

God, I love you so much, Si. With everything I have. Forever and always. This should be longer, but I waited too long and there's too much to say, and too little I'm allowed to tell you. There's so many moments I want to write down so that nobody can ever forget, so that you can look back on us fondly, but there's not enough paper in the world for that. I'll wait for you, Si, I'll tell you everything when you get here. I promise. but please promise me you'll take your time getting here. Learn to be happy, Si.

I give my soul to you,

Your Johnny.

Had the letter been opened and read, the page might have showed perfectly round splotches of wrinkles, like it had gotten wet and dried imperfectly. Like whoecer wrote it had cried while writing it. The writing would be smudged and fading in some places, the paper worn in others like it had been erased too many times. There would have been little doodles of hearts and stars in the corners, maybe even a matching set of rings sat side by side, and words so scratched out that they were unreadable. Maybe in itty bitty writing in the margin would have been future wedding vows, complete with a pair of 'I do!"s. But it didn't, since there were no eyes to witness the love marks.

Trans feelings

[bucketwingthoughts]

Sorry if this an out of the blue question but do starscream in your aus have fetishes? fantasies?? You know when he humping on megs? 👀👉🏼👈🏼

nsfw warning clearly

Starscream has a lot of fantasies with Megatron that he doesn't share because he doesn't want Megatron to think he's an animal. Starscream is so in love with and obsessed with Megatron (mind, personality but frame type ofc) that any time he is near him he has to calm himself down. Since Starscream doesn't have a heat cycle or anything like that, Megatron often times cannot actually feel what Starscream is thinking so that's good on Starscream's part.

Because Starscream wants Megatron to throw him over the counter and fuck him senselessly, or Starscream wants to ride Megatron so hard Megatron passes out and then Starscream passes out. The fantasies Starscream has of dominating Megatron's spike are actually insane. ESP in my post IDW aus, Starscream has animalistic tendencies since he was revived.

Like Starscream will go to great lengths in his mind to sit on ride that spike like a surfboard.

And then Starscream wants Megatron to get a little rough too like his biggest kink/fantasy is Bomber Megatron coming back to fuck him. Like he wants him to be ROUGH, or his worst kinks are plainly being fucked by all Megatron's at the same time, preferably in his mind tied up.

Then he also wants to see Bomber Megatron fucking current Megatron too???

And he tells Megatron none of this, and he never will.

Also Megatron being like millions of years older than him turns him on.
