YAY little lore about me, my parents own a pizza restaurant IRL that I work at when I’m home from college :) and I fuckin love drawing on the whiteboard up front- back in the summer I drew something featuring the Afton fam, and my coworker (who loves Fnaf) thought it would be funny if I kept up that running joke and drew them in a holiday-themed situation for Christmas eve. Me when I bring my random long-running fixation into the workplace 🕺🕺

if I had a nickel for every time that Smile has danced with Lizzy, I'd have two nickels.
Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Bonus bc it's not 'canon' (but in my mind it is)

Headcanon - Elizabeth Weir
What is a headcanon you used (or plan to use) in a fan work for this great woman?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rules
It can be canon compliant, canon divergent, involve a crossover, or be completely crack. It doesn’t matter. You can even just make something up right now.
You can include a link to your fic/work if you wish.
It probably goes without saying since I’m posting this before the event started, but the headcanon does not have to involve a GATEathon work.
If the headcanon is not originally yours, say so, and if possible, give credit if possible.
That being said, do not accuse anyone of stealing. Same and similar ideas are going to happen.
Do not criticize each other.
No character bashing. What you do in your work is fine (including in the main event), but I want GATEathon mini events to be safe for everyone to enjoy all the characters.
If you break the rules, especially with bringing in negativity, you may be blocked.

The scarecrow and Bride (WIP)
Tumblr media
FINALLY I GOT TO DRAW ELIZABETH! WHOOO HOOO!
Ah, and here's him with his scarecrow mask which is in progress (Question Iva's methods, but never her results/jk)
Tumblr media
This is just him with his mask on, he'll be wearing his full scarecrow costume, but I made two versions for funsies. In an ideal world, I would make a small animation to showcase the chance buuuuut:
Phantom learn from two years ago Tumblr has a vendetta against her and big gif files/hj
I...actually don't know how the duck to animate that
So it remains just as an extra, but also is a relief because it means less work outside the whole making a separate head just for an alternate and shading XD
This most likely, if I am able to get it done soon XD, will be my halloween post. If I am lucky I could also get the fic out soon, but that'll be dropped early for the ScarecrowWeek 2024 hahaha (which technically this piece will be, but for the last day as I am taking the oportunity that its a free day hehee)
----
Ok, so about the requests. I am not dropping them, Phantom is on a two-day break!
Alright, lovely folks, don't worry about your request! I'll continue them on Saturday, as I am taking today and tomorrow off from drawing the colorless request, and focus on some stuff of mine.
I just took this decision recently, since honestly I've spent quite a lot of days drawing about 12 requests (THANK YOU GUYS!!!/vpos), so I decided to take a small teeny tiny break to relax and indulge in my stuff of Halloween! (better plan early than late, hahaha)
Although, I will say please don't send in requests today or Friday as it's on my break. I'll continue them on Saturday and slowly work to finish stuff. So in a sense, just for today and Friday, I am holding a small pause. I never thought I've gotten 12 drawings out already, and I appreciate it with all my heart, but I do hope you dears can understand I def need a small break so I don't get burn out or too overwhelmed. I will try however to get some progress done on one of the longest ones, as Delly has been an angel and been super patience.
In the first week of October I will only take two as I'll be busy, and the request will close down until next year (the last weeks of the year are the busiest for me)

Six The Musical Headcanons - Anne Bolyen:
Time for the queen that broke by heart when I read a book about her and Elizabeth 💚💚💚 (Yes I’m talking about your stupidly sad book Tracy Borman)
-Anne’s reaction to reincarnation isn’t one most expected from the aftermath of her beheading, yes she screamed, yes she was terrified, yes she was freaking out she still had a head and heartbeat, but the only thing she cared about after she woke up was Elizabeth, helplessly calling out to her daughter that died more than 400 years ago. Only did she freak out about being beheaded after Catalina begrudgingly and hesitantly calmed Anne about her daughter
-I’m all for ADHD gremlin Anne but I’m also about scary, cunning, powerful, smart, dangerous Anne, I like to believe her stage persona is a sort of coping mechanism but also only half of her personality. Yes Anne is a prank queen, will get into shenanigans, and can be energetic and loud but she also can suddenly and quickly become very quiet and very well thought out, smartly planning things out like she’s playing chess.
-ADHD and PTSD, a deadly combination that initially makes Anne’s adjustment to modern day life suck even more. Actually is the reason Anne is the last to attempt to connect with any of the queens, keeping her distance her trauma with the court and Hery making her wary of trusting anyone and her difficultly to act like “everyone else” making her very hesitant to open up to the queens
-Anne has a whole library in her room fully of every book ever written about Elizabeth that she can get her hands on, and when she can’t sleep thinking about her girl, she reads them imagining her girl was in her arms again
-Anne’s ability to speak multiple languages blends over when she’s distressed, usually spurring large amounts of French that only half the queens can understand
-Anne lost it when she found about what Thomas Seymour did to Elizabeth, it’s because a really tense week in the queen household and takes a really long time for Anne to forgive Cathy
-It’s a queen rule that Anne is not allowed to have more than two coffees per day (and they have to be spread apart)
-Anne when she finally makes amends with everyone, becomes closest with the 4th and 6th queens finding enjoyment in being able to match Anna’s energy and Cathy’s intellect
-Surprisingly, if Anne isn’t the one who created the problem, she usually is the go to for fixing a problem (especially if said queen doesn’t want Catalina or Jane to know) her intelligence being able to find quick and efficient solutions to most problems
- As I have stated in my Jane Seymour Addition, Shipping the queens doesn’t sound particularly right after all they’ve been through and the healing they need but.. Bi (and I say every character I like is Ace so also ace)
-Cathy and Anne love having “book races” seeing who can dive into and compete novels at the faster rate, these usually becoming all day consuming events in the household , Anna and Kat are usually there as refs to make sure neither cheats, with specific preplanned questions to guarantee evidence of the book actually being finished.
-Anne’s a epic smooth talker at getting out of situations
-Anne after a nightmare once mistakes Kat in the dark for a teenage Elizabeth until she goes back to sleep. Kat couldn’t have the will to break Anne’s hope so she played along. No other queen in the household had the heart to break her heart either so they let Anne hope a bit before she connected the dots
-Like both her cousins and basically all the queens in the household, she despises yelling, it being all too familiar to Henry
-She has a dartboard on her wall with a picture of Henry’s portrait always stapled to it, frequently having to replace it as it open to ang queen in the household
-It’s her and Kat who come up with the idea for a musical when Anne complains how all her smarts have been cleared from history to remember, Kat shoots the idea and the two draft a plan. and convince the queens with Kat’s puppy dog eyes and a powerpoint
-She’s is not a coffee or tea person she’s just more of a, “if it’s a warm drink it works kind of person” usually just having what’s easiest, especially after the ban after the coffee incident where she drank 5 and somehow with that power managed to set Jane’s Kitchen on fire (first time they all saw Jane cry) and broke the couch
-Anne like Jane is very maternal, although it’s more in moments than constant, her protectiveness spanning for all the queens (even Catalina). Once a jerk tried to hit on Catalina (which clearly put the eldest queen at an unease) on the streets and Anne lost it, shoving the guy and screaming at him. The queens know they never have to worry when Anne is around.

“i <3 my gf” but make it a literal show of affection
Tumblr media
[ID: a digital drawing of two, original Flatland characters named Liz and Ruth.
Liz is depicted as a snake-like creature with a light grey body that fades to dark grey at each end. She also has a star on the end of her tail, three cilia that resemble legs and a dent on her left side where one of her front cilium would be, and a seven point star-shaped head with a fanged mouth.
Ruth is a similar, slightly smaller snake-like creature. She has a dark grey body with light grey spots and patches, a V-shaped dent in the middle of her body and four cilia.
Liz on the left and Ruth on the right. Their ‘heads’ are pressed together, with Ruths’s head pushing Liz’s head spikes back. Their bodies are curved into an S-shape and they are touching one another to create a heart. They are both smiling and Ruth’s front cilia are spread away from her body in an excited expression. There is a small black heart between them.
The entire image has a light pink hue set over it and the background is a peachy pink colour.
End ID].

Another one of my favorite little details that they’ve added to the show is that Percy used to doodle/draw all of the mythical creatures and monsters that he used to see some times. That honestly makes a lot of sense for him to do so, plus I think it would be cool if later down the line, they included a small scene with him showing some of those old drawings to Rachel. They could bond in a way over art and drawing. I just think it would be neat 🥰

Playing Cupid (Japril Season 16 Imagine)
Previous Part Here
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Age Rating: 12+
Chapters: One of Two
Fandom: Grey’s Anatomy
Ship: Jackson Avery x April Kepner
Canon Episode: Season 16 Episode 20
AN: I decided to shift the focus to Japril because I strongly believe they missed an opportunity to bring April in after Jackson was shot. Amber in this story represents all of us Japril shippers and she is basically gonna be Cyrano to this couple that deserved better writing. The next chapter will be posted tonight so be prepared.
Summary: April is surprised to find Amber at Jackson’s apartment and learns what happened to him. They talk about their relationship problems where April reveals her impending divorce to Amber.
Words: 2541
Amber holds the door open still looking at April Kepner in mute shock who looks at her in visible shock with her mouth wide open. In a stroller between them is Harriet who looks at Amber with a smile happy to see her. Amber snaps out of it and remembers her place.
“April I didn’t expect to see you here…in Jackson’s apartment.” Amber suddenly remembers something, “Wait is it Jackson’s weekend already?”
April blinks before answering, “Um I took some night shifts at the clinic Jackson and I switched the dates, I am sorry I am trying not to be judgmental but what are you doing here in one of my daughters’ homes?”
“No, no it is not like that.” Amber tells her with a straight face practicing this speech she did with Maggie and Andrew when they questioned the nature of her and Jackson’s relationship, “Andrew broke up with me and kicked me out.” April’s face morphs to sympathy, “I needed a place to stay and his is roomier than my brothers. It’s just a friend helping a friend I swear. I thought he told you this.”
“He didn’t. I’ve been busy with clinic and I guess he wanted to figure out the best way to tell me.”
Amber chuckles lightly, “Well it’s an interesting way to find out I guess.”
April looks behind her, “Where is Jackson?”
Amber’s slight grin falls at that question, “They didn’t call you to tell you?”
April suddenly gets worried, “Tell me what? Is Jackson, okay?” Amber realizes she is still holding the door open and talking to her out in the hall. She steps aside and April quickly enters the living room with Harriet in the stroller while she sits in the armchair. Amber takes a seat across from her on the couch.
“Um…there was a shooting today.” April’s face falls at that word shooting and she looks down in silent shock not registering what Amber says next, “He was working with Warren at the PRT but he is fine. A drug addict tried to rob them at point blank and shot Jackson in the leg. The patient died and so did the shooter but everybody else made it out safe. They applied a tourniquet so there was no major blood loss, bullet went through so they just had to debride in the trauma room. The bone isn’t too damaged but Link thinks he should do PT just in case-”
“PT?” April looks up confused just now latching on to the one word that doesn’t make sense. Her mind was paralyzed by shock and growing grief that she didn’t pay attention to what Amber said, “What are you talking about?”
“Ortho doesn’t think it’s too bad.” Amber says on an exasperated edge, “Haven’t you been listening? It’s a bullet through the calf they had to debride in the trauma room but he should be okay after a few weeks.”
April gasps clutching her stomach like it was gonna drop, “He’s-He’s alive?”
Amber quickly nods, “Yes he is, weren’t you listening?”
April exhales in a relieved manner and looks close to tears, “I-I just…when you said shooting, I thought…I thought I lost him like we lost Reed and Charles. Reed and Charles were-”
“No, I know Jackson told me about them and how you two were there during the hospital shooting.” Amber sighs with regret, “I’m sorry I should’ve tread more carefully and lead with he’s okay. I didn’t realize it would bring all of that back for you. Are you okay?”
April swallows and nods, “I am, I am now that I know he’s okay. How did this happen?”
Amber groans at that reminder, “It was a junkie with a gun, she stopped the PRT for drugs and I guess she shot Jackson to make a point. She’s dead so we can’t get our revenge.”
“Well, I believe she’s earning a well-deserved punishment from the red guy downstairs so I’m good.” April gets Harriet out of her stroller and puts her in the play mat with her toys before coming back to talk to Amber, “How long is he gonna be at the hospital?”
“Assuming everything goes well, he should be out with a cast by the end of the weekend. Jesus, I swear with this and Dr. Webber the whole world is going upside down.”
“I saw the video.” April nods in understanding, “How are you holding up?”
Amber chuckles darkly sipping her drink, “Is that a rhetorical question? Because with the bipolar ex, squatting at a penthouse, my teacher possibly having dementia and my brother figure in the hospital with a bullet wound I’m gonna need more whiskey.”
April looks at her in sadness knowing her pain, “I’m sorry. You said that DeLuca is bipolar? Are you sure about that?”
Amber swallows the lump in her throat, “Yeah, I have been on this ride before and I know how it looks even with a manic and not a psychotic. I never knew what it was to be in a relationship with someone with mental health issues but for the last two months I now understand that you don’t matter to them. Their problems become your own because they feel the need to take it out on you because your close targets. It gets frustrating to the point where you just want to get out and leave them to suffer from their own delusions.” Amber sighs with April giving her a sympathetic nod, “I think I understand why my father left my mother.”
“Hey come on.” April starts with a motherly tone, “Just because you fell in love with someone with mental health issues doesn’t make you your dad and it doesn’t make him your mom it just…it makes it a rough patch you can either work through or not.”
“I’m not sure there’s anything left to work through.”
“Listen I’ve seen mental illness with soldiers in Afghanistan. They take on a whole new personality, it’s like somebody else took over. It’s the same thing that’s happening with Andrew only instead of war its genetics causing this.”
Amber sips her whiskey, “I know I’ve repeated that mantra with my mom and brother. I know he didn’t ask for this like I didn’t but he is ignoring it and making it worse. I know you think that’s selfish and I’m projecting my family problems on him.”
April shakes her head, “No that’s not what I think. Neither of you are being selfish here, you’re just tired of repeating this pain. As for Andrew the illness doesn’t make him inherently selfish, what makes him selfish is refusing to do anything before it’s too late.” Amber nods as her eyes begin to glisten. April looks at her in sympathy, “Are you really sure it’s over? There’s nothing to mend at this point?”
“No I made it more than clear he lost the right to beg for forgiveness when he showed up to help Webber instead of trying to fix himself and us.” Amber starts to tear up, “I thought I found the one. He was it for me. He was sweet and kind and handsome and he could handle my crap. He knew what it was like to grow up with a parent who neglected their mental health. I thought I hit the jackpot. Instead, I was so worried I would get my mother’s illness I never for one second considered he could get his father’s. And now he has and he refuses to do anything about and I feel…I feel like I’m broken and there’s nothing I can do to fix it.”
April pulls out a travel tissue packet and hands it to Amber who takes it and wipes her tears, “Thanks I know this isn’t how you envisioned your night going, taking care of a heartbroken resident sleeping in your ex’s guest room.”
“Well, it’s definitely more interesting than what I had in mind.” Amber chuckles while April grins.
“God I am such a mess, not even a hot paramedic asking me out can cheer me up.” April raises an eyebrow, “Wren Jones, I gave her a cast with my number after she asked me out.”
“I’ve met her, she brings patients to my clinic, she’s pretty.”
Amber wipes another tear, “She’s freaking gorgeous but I can’t April. I’m too screwed up to date and I want it to be because I like her and I do but…a part of me thinks about the look on Andrew’s face when he see’s me with someone after he dumped me and the satisfaction it will give me to beat him. But Wren deserves more than to be a weapon in my relationship war. And I don’t know if I can give her what she really deserves. I don’t know if I can jump back in the game so soon after what I’ve been through.
April squeezes Amber’s knee in comfort, “There’s nothing wrong with taking some time for yourself and regrouping and healing. It would be wrong for you to jump into another relationship so soon after your breakup because that will just make things worse for you. Maybe this is a sign for you to get your priorities in order and connect with yourself.”
Amber nods, “Yeah I know I need to step back from the dating game indefinitely…it still sucks though.”
April grins, “Look for what it’s worth I completely understand where you are at right now.”
“No, you don’t.” Amber sniffles, “I know your divorce from Jackson was messy but you found your true love after him.” April frowns as Amber continues, “Your one is perfect, he’s cute, he’s in the business of saving lives, he worships the ground you walk on, he doesn’t make you feel like crap. I mean you pretty much hit the jackpot after your divorce while I-”
“We split up.” Amber freezes and looks up in shock registering April’s fallen face. April sighs and takes a moment before explaining, “We kept trying to tell ourselves that our whole winding road was God's plan to bring us back together. But he was still so angry and so hurt. I mean, I left him at the altar, and then his wife died. You know, you don't just stop feeling hurt 'cause it's a better story if God brought us together in our pain.” Amber looks at April feeling sympathetic, “He denied it for so long. You know, he tried so hard not to hate me. I think loving me, making us a full circle was the story he was writing. I mean, I guess it was the story we were both writing. I mean, I was trying to get past my guilt. He was…He was trying to forgive God for the loss of Karin…but y-you know, ultimately, we learned that…” April bitterly chuckles, “Life just isn't always so tidy. And God's plan isn't always so easy to understand. He's always been so good with Harriet, and I adore Ruby, but we both started working longer hours, just avoiding coming home. And then, his sister got sick. She lives in Philadelphia. So, he and Ruby went to Philadelphia to be with her, and…now she's better, uh, but they're still in Philadelphia. And…they are not coming back.” Amber looks down in guilt over her previous assumption, “So yeah, I get how it feels to be broken beyond fixing. I am about to be divorced for a second time and a single mother again and according to the bible and my family I am a sinner in the eyes of the lord. I am doing about as great as you I think.”
Amber holds out her expensive whiskey, “Here you need this more than anyone I’ve ever met and that’s a lot of people.”
April chuckles, “Thanks but I’m working tonight. Speaking of which I gotta get to the clinic.” April stands up grabbing her purse and Amber stands up to lead her out, “Are you good to take of her tonight?”
“Don’t worry it’s not my first time with her it’s just double the diapers without Jackson around. If it’s okay with you I can take her in to see him tonight before she sleeps, maybe a visit from his little girl will be good for him.”
“Yeah of course, he needs a good end to a day of being shot.” April chuckles darkly, “I swear it’s day like these I could kill him for being so brave and so stupid.”
“You and me both sister and thanks for the talk I think I needed some girl to girl talk with someone who get’s where I’m coming from.” Amber smiles at April gratefully.
“Of course, and if you want, I can help you unleash your rage the right way.” Amber raises an eyebrow, “Gun range, shooting a paper target is very cathartic trust me.”
Amber chuckles, “I’ll think about it. Hey, does Jackson know about you and Matthew? I mean he never mentioned it.”
“No, he doesn’t I’ve been busy and so is he. Plus, he thought it was crazy what I was doing he didn’t say it but I could see it and I’m really not in the mood for an ‘I told you so’ my family already got their share after I told them.” April sighs, “Amber, I would really appreciate it if you didn’t tell him before I did. This is still new, it just happened and I want to figure out how to tell him myself. Can you please keep this between us and Harriet who I already swore to secrecy? Please?”
Amber looks at the pleading face on April and despite wanting to tell Jackson knowing his lingering feelings for April decides to keep a promise after April helped her with her emotional turmoil, “Yes I can keep this between us. I mean it’s not like it’s gonna change his life in any way.” Amber grins to sell it knowing it would be the opposite for Jackson.
April grins, “Okay thank you so much I already fed Harriet so your good there, you just take her to see daddy, read her to bed and she should be out like a light.” April goes to the play mat with a wide smile for Harriet, “Okay ladybug mommy has to go but your gonna see daddy and then you get to have a sleepover with auntie Amber is that fun?”
“Yay!” April laughs at Harriet’s joy as does Amber who can’t believe intern year that little girl hated her and now, she’s the designated aunt.
“Yay! That’s right I love you so much ladybug I’ll see you soon.” April gives Harriet a lot of kisses before walking to the door with Amber leading her out, “Okay call me if you need anything seriously.”
“Don’t worry I will, have a good shift.” April nods and leaves. Amber closes the door before making a raspberry sound and lifting Harriet in her arms so she can get her ready to see her dad. Amber sighs as she carries Harriet down the hall to her room, “Harriet it’s days like this I wonder what my life has come to being thrust into other people’s problems.” Amber closes the door in Harriet’s room.

wait so there's 3 of you: you, baby, and scrap baby??
-amarillo
Of course not, silly! Circus Baby was scooped and abandoned, It's true that technically my spirit is housed in Scrap Baby, but sometimes she gets so cumbersome! I much prefer to just hang out as a spirit, though Scrap Baby does have to be nearby. I'm tethered to her, but not completely, if that makes any sense!

Beckett being a bard threw me of at first, but OH MY GOD I CAN SEE IT
im planning on making will turner for my next baldur's gate multiplayer character, and that got me trying to figure out what the cast's class and stat array would look like if they were characters in a campaign. these are the fruits of my labor. i am open to changing my mind.
elizabeth swann: sorcerer. natural charisma and an innate sense of calculation and cunning. quick to consider a lot of options at once. later on she gets more close-range options and can control whole battlefields. (dump stat: strength, the classic spellcaster minmax choice)
will turner: fighter, potential multiclass into rogue (or even cleric, depending on how you read into the ferryman thing). he does one thing really really good and it's fight things. comes with a lot of great proficiencies and a background that seems mundane but is deeply tied in with the narrative. of course. (dump stat: intelligence. sorry. his wis is good though.)
jack sparrow: a classic thief rogue — though i think you could argue for arcane trickster too. stumbles into situations and skill checks himself out of them. hidden depths lie beneath a roguish exterior and many, many sessions of bullshittery that somehow always tie back into the main plot. (dump stat: constitution. he's gotten hit in the head so many goddamn times.)
barbossa: hear me out: warlock. they have a lot of variation that can make it hard to tell what class they are, and you could argue that the aztec gold and later calypso are patrons to which he owes his unlife and, subsequently, his powers. comes with a high charisma stat for chewing the scenery. (dump stat: he cheated his stat rolls and has none)
norrington: paladin. my god. a paragon of light until he breaks his oath in dmc through no fault of his own and destroys himself clawing his way back into favor. (dump stat: strength, so he can be a dex-based paladin but his wis is probably next lowest)
beckett: bard. no further explanation.
davy jones: has since surpassed the levels of the class-based system but was a cleric, back in the day, devoted to a goddess he believed abandoned him. no it hasn't defined his existence for centuries. no he's not bitter. why do you ask?
calypso: aforementioned goddess ex. you know how it is.
governor swann: npc the dm has to frantically make a statblock for when he's suddenly drawn into a fight. he has 6hp.

So like... it's a Thing in all fandoms where fans sort of latch onto fanon versions of characters and their dynamics with each other that are actually completely off-base, right? I don't know if this phenomenon has an official name, but I've seen it so many times and it's fascinated me every time. Especially when a character's popular fanon selves don't end up just diluted from their source material, but straight up OPPOSITE their canon portrayal.
So one of my "favorite" variations on this was how the early PotC fandom used to get Will EXTREMELY wrong, especially in comparison to Jack, and it made finding in-character fics SO. DAMN. DIFFICULT.
I've talked about this MULTIPLE times before, as have several other fans. It's a dead horse being beaten. But basically certain prevalent takes on fanon!Will have in the past leaned towards a personality that was very patient and grounded and even demure to contrast against Jack's off-beat personality and Elizabeth's fiery rebelliousness. Because Elizabeth has the drive to push back against social norms, Will became the foil who fell back to his pre-pirate version, reluctant to break rules unless she pulled him into it, even in post-CotBP timelines. Likewise, Jack was the one with the WTF decision making, while Will was more rooted in reasonable decisions.
And by their appearances, archetypes, and certain elements of their world views, you'd THINK that's how it works. When we meet Will in the governor's foyer, Will is so lovestruck and doe-eyed and subservient to the governor, I think that people thought that's just Who He Is. Especially because he often acts as Jack's straight-man foil in the comedic elements. Straight-laced. Rigid. Even boring or timid.
But if you actually pay attention to the movies, it's very much the opposite. In canon, Jack's USUALLY the level-headed one who just happens to have chaos follow him, because of the way he can wield it. He thinks in long run, tries to solve problems with words and as little fighting as possible as often as he can. Ideal situations for Jack are more like a thief--he wants to be in and out of the job as silently and slick as possible. The scenarios he's in are insane, because the way he throws other people around with those scenarios is kind of insane, but he himself remains largely cool and collected.
That's Jack.
THIS is Will:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Canon!Will starts out literally so impulsive and rash, Jack has to physically manhandle him at certain points to keep him from blowing up his plans--and then still gets taken out because he underestimates his listening skills and impatience. Will corners Jack into what is functionally a cage match to the death by sanely locking the door with his sword and very nearly wins. He is constantly at 11, constantly demanding things be done faster, more directly, and at the same time quietly scheming behind Jack's back almost from the get-go. He does flashy jumps and flips off of things because using the stairs is too slow or whatever. He shows up in DMC yelling at Jack to give him his compass at the point of the sword, and insisting he'll get Davy Jones' key by just "cutting down everyone in his path."
Even when Will mellows out significantly in AWE, there are remnants of this contrast still there. Jack's plan for leading Beckett to Shipwreck Cove seems to have been a very reasonable and underhanded effort to deliberately make sure Elizabeth is inside the Cove while Will is on Beckett's ship, in command of the Compass. Meanwhile Will's plan was to leave a breadcrumb trail of vulture-sea gulls feasting on dead soldiers' corpses.
What I'm getting at is, yeah, Jack's a charismatic "rogue" and Will's a "romantic hero" TECHNICALLY. Jack makes quippy jokes, and Will glares and scowls and WTFs back. But not only are they are both more alike than people give them credit for, they are also totally opposite their roles' traditional personalities in ways that the fandom tends to overlook.
TLDR; Jack's crazy, Will's a sweetheart. But Will is also a manic gremlin, and Jack doesn't always know what to do with him about it, so they often end up something like this:

And more fans need to play with this fact, the end.

This happens every session.
Yes in case you were wondering, I DO have some head canons about this The Gaang Plays DnD au. My line of thought is that the events of ATLA IS the campaign, so their modern versions are playing as their show characters in the campaign (don’t think about it too hard lmfao)
This happens at the point in the AU when Zuko has joined their friend group, but Katara still doesn’t like him. Not entirely sure what the “betrayal” is between them, but I’m thinking it’s more along the line of Darcy snubbing Elizabeth than almost getting Aang killed. Most definitely the others eventually inform ZK that they are kicked out of the campaign until they can get along, which leads to Zuko and Katara faking a friendship that…turns into something more, obviously.
