'Parallels.' (Flashbomb AU, part 13 of ?)

Lux finally visits the uni's art studio, after *weeks* of procrastinating, and learns a few things about Jinx along the way...

TW: Jinx being Jinx, as always!

Title inspo from 'Parallels' by Big Thief (for *reasons* I can't properly articulate but it means so much to me - the lyrics are just so *them* - something something the parallels between Ekko & Lux & their connection with Jinx, a connection that is constantly transforming and growing and a source of reflection)

Fem!KaiShin headcanons! What do you think would be different from the original?

(i saw your post. Turn on the brainrot. Fill this ask up!!!)

Got fem kaishin brainrot and about to make everyone’s problem

More fem kaishin hc🔥

-KID does not have a confirmed gender in that au with kaito constantly changing her suit (not really lore relevant I just think its fun)

-flashbomb/ gasbomb are hidden in her platform boots

-shinchi does not turn into conan, but agasa still saved haibara so shes still helping haibara fight the BO

-KID went inactive after discovering pandora, shinichi only meet kaito a year later when theyre 20, it was just kind of a situationship going on when KID was active

NEW OC JUST DROPPED GUYS LOOK

—

Ok, so I don't even know how the idea even came into my head in the first place, but they have been using up every single one of my braincells since it did.

—

Basic Information:

Their name is Prism and their AU was destroyed a very long time ago. It’s because of this that hardly anyone knows its name

Their pronouns are primarily they/them, but he/him is acceptable

They’re over 100 years old, but they stopped actually keeping count a while ago so the exact number can only be found through a CHECK

Abilities:

Light creation

Light manipulation (illusions/lasers/brightness)

Bone attacks

Very weak blue magic (can hardly lift a person)

Transportation magic (teleportation/portals)

Some personality traits:

Introvert (ex. Avoids people)

Anxious (ex. Overthinks things)

Empathetic (ex. Easily understands others’ emotions)

Reckless (ex. Doesn’t always think things through)

Sneaky (ex. Good at hiding true intentions)

Other:

Their magic drains quicker in darker environments and slower in brighter

Stats and magic potency isn’t affected

The canisters on their belt are pretty much just flashbombs

They’re magic boosters and healers for Prism

They’re very socially awkward and avoid contact with AU residents

They spend their time going between the AUs that Nightmare attacked and helping to restore light. As they work and as more light is produced, Positivity is created as a byproduct. Think of those happy lights you can buy: you use them in the winter when there isn’t much natural light outside and the light produced by the lamp is supposed to make your mood better. Again, Prism has no direct hand in the creation of Positivity, it’s just made as a byproduct to their work.

Their soul is kinda just a glowy orb???

THERE WE GO!!

The post deleted once I was almost done so I had to redo it ;-;

Also this is just basic info, there’ll probably be more later :)

If you have any questions, please ask them!!! I’d love to talk about them more! :)

Danny thief au

Danny uses gadgets to help with his heists.

Grappling gear in a bracelet to hide flight

Smokebombs to hide intangiblity/invisibility in an escape

Flash bangs to take out cameras while he reaches through display cases and then picks the lock afterwards and leaves them unlocked

A pistol

To focus his ectoblasts

Gloves with capsules in them

They have an ectoplasm based coolant to form his ghost ice faster, only used in emergencies and it melts leaving no trace almost immediately

A modulator in his mask

For both disguising his voice when he needs to speak and for focusing his ghostly wail into something more contained. He only uses it for emergencies or if he's pressed for time

Hot damn these are good ideas! You’ve put a lot of thought into these, well done!

However, I think the gun would mostly just be rubber bullets coated with some ectoplasm. While using the gun for focusing his ectoblasts does sound cool, it would be very obvious that he’s doing so, as the gun would probably start glowing. He could use a flashbomb/smokebomb, but it’s not like he has an infinite amount of them, in fact he might not have a lot of them anyways. Don’t you love resource management?

[ghostpal]

Lunar Blast AU! in this au, sun is the one that got corrupted. before corruption, he was the easy mode “enemy” because he was so easy to see and his targets(the suns) were so much bigger than Moon’s crescents and he would come out after other rounds to find anyone that got lost in the maze.

then the vanny virus happened and he did some violence and was reserved for security much like moon is treated in the main game. because of the glowing nature of laser tag, they arent as light sensitive. Also, sun literally glows. like.. like a sun. and when hes corrupted, he may try and act as a flashbomb.

Rose is the daughter of Tarrick “Tulip” Quinn, A member of the Military, and Santaura A stay-at-home mom, two people from the same place in Northern Mississippi. They got married and moved to Canada as Santura gave birth to a baby Hailey Quinn. When there was a war a janitor named Michael “Comatose” Bly Van der aided the couple by rescuing their baby out of the hospital before it exploded, leaving their parents dead. Since then, Bly Van Der adopted Tarrick and Santaura's daughter, just to torture and brainwash her, not using numbers like with mason or memories like bell, but colors to mess her up while getting burned by a curling iron.

The mysterious fate of her parents is already gone. Luckily someone saved her, which was a group of armed men who turned out they also torture her more brutally, and left her when she was 6 in the forest. when she was 8 She thought herself amartial arts from when some of Comotose soilders sparr and use a gun for self-defense and she taught herself gymnastics and tumbling so she FLEXIBLE QUEEN.

In Hailey's teen years, she joined A90 because she wanted to forget everything about what happened in her past A90 but when she entered, the training and missions were arduous, More than the M16. And that's where Hailey got her strength in becoming an assassin who relies on speed, stealth, and force to fight her enemies,

As Hailey got older, she started working for the SAS (Special Military Forces) After training to be an assassin in A90.

she accidentally met Captain Price who then let her join task force 141 she was confused and so annoyed, But then as the time came on they got used to her being around, which is a guy named Simon “Ghost” Riley and the ghost getting close.

what about 4 for terran au

#4! Alkaline, A-4

Probably a little scientist, I can see them making little tiny hand grenades, each filled with a special chemical compound of their own creation. Smoke bombs for diversion, or grenades filled with a paralyzing agent, or even just little flashbombs that have burning magnesium to blind and confuse. Alkaline is probably deep, leafy green and soap bubble blue, methinks. Either quiet and somber, or bouncy and crazy with their mini bomb clusters. I could see them doing parkour and gymnastics to get sround during a fight, leaping off of things and doing back handsprings and flips, throwing stuff midair but always hitting their targets

Pronouns for most of these kiddos hasn't been decided yet, so I'm just using they/them for most of them. If you've got specific suggestions for specific bots, send em my way! I'd love to hear your thoughts ^-^

[almost-heroes-archive]

Sanders Sides AU, anyone?

[254th-legion]

The 254th

Introducing the named clones of the 254th Legion, right under the cut! Any questions for these boys directly, just yeet it in the ask box <3

Viper (CT-2472): The commando of the 254th, dubbed thanks to his tactical strategies that bring down their opponents in one calculated strike. He is the Dad of the squad, always making sure that every order his troopers carry out is something he is willing to do himself. Every week he and Rex sit down with spotchka to cry about all the shit their troops do and also have an unspoken War Crime Competition™️ between the 254th and 501st.

After the issuing of Order 66, he becomes a cold, strategic captain with an unbendable will.

Fang (CT-2411): Viper’s second in command, biggest fan, or both. He prefers a good ol’ vibroblade over blasters, and when he's in action, his yellow blades look akin to those of a viper's fangs, hence his nickname. Between him and Viper, their enemies have no chance of escaping their tactical death grip.

When his captain ends up fully committing to the Empire, Fang finds himself looked up to in the leadership position. He is constantly reminded of his former captain and closest brother, Viper, and in order to do good by him, Fang holds himself responsible to take good care of what remains of his squad.

Flanker (CT-2424): Your local flanking scum who is always happy to deal low blows to bring an enemy down, most often seen with Ghost. Hide your husbands, hide your wives, because this man will snatch up all available hearts.

Lowkey enjoys bullying Crosshair.

Ghost (CT-2457): He is always working together with Flanker, flanking enemies and taking down their defense. He melts into the shadows like nobodies business, often spooking his brothers. Flanker once found out that he had a ‘diary’ (“It’s a journal!!”) and will never let him live it down. Enjoys dicking around with Cody.

Solar (CT-1511): Flirty flashbomb lover, need I say more?

Ok I will say more. Solar is always competing with Flanker for the number of heads they can turn with their charms, always trying to get others to swoon. They’re favorite target is General Kenobi and Cody hates them for it.

Click: The sniper, and frankly he's a cocky one, whenever he's going to shoot an enemy he's sure he'll kill in a single shot, he clicks his tongue before pulling the trigger.

Tic: Explosives expert and enthusiast, often saying tick tock as he bombs things or defuses said bombs.

Stims (CT-0702): Always has stimpacks, the local Mom of the team. He runs on caf exclusively during missions, but actually prefers the taste of tea. Best friends with Kix, they bond over getting mad at their teammates always getting unnecessarily hurt.

Hazard: Is he a menace to his allies, or to the enemy? No one can agree on it since he brings just as much hazard to his brothers as well as to their opponents.

Anchor (CT-1125): knows his way around ships, your local hardware guy. He designed and built the Fire Raven. He and Tech grew up building Legos together, and in Modern!au, the two totally does robotics.

Crossfire: The lad always seem to be stuck in the worst possible position during battle, it’s a wonder he’s still alive. Between him and Hazard, they have pulled off so many close shaves the 254th has stopped counting. Crossfire actually dislikes being associated with Hazard, as the latter is ‘the bumbling idiot’ while he’s merely in the wrong place at the wrong times.

[shyrose57]

Hello, this is mentioned new AU, I don’t have anything concrete for the other Boatem members just yet(though I do have ideas), so take two ‘batman and joker rip-offs’ until I figure that out.

Mumbo Jumbo/Saturation:

By day, a billionaire environmentalist, in charge of a billion-dollar, eco-friendly company with world wide branches. 

By night, a vigilante by the name of Saturation, fighting the criminal and corrupt.

Does he call himself that because he likes potatoes, or because he mainly uses brightly colored flashbombs to attack? The world will never know.

Lives in a lovely manor at the edges of Boatem, atop a perfectly non-suspicious overgrown waterfall.

Costume consist of dull blues with some bright reds-it used to just be pretty much a superman copy(and, once, a cowboy outfit), but apparently Scarlet Macaw took offense to that and captured him with the sole purpose of making him a better outfit-something about refusing to fight him while he was wearing that?

Doesn’t have powers, just a lot of genius, and martial arts knowledge. And flash bombs-so many flash bombs.

Grian/Scarlet Macaw:

A member of Boatem Inc, and Head of Meeting and Marketing. It’s usually pretty fun, and he gets to mess around a lot-at least until he has to try and round up his boss into attendance. 

But when he’s not doing either of those, he’s Scarlet Macaw, a goofy villain that wonders the streets of Boatem and causes problems.

Though along with fellow rogue (not sure what to call Impulse), he does have a bit of a End Crystal addiction, which causes more than it’s fair share of mischief. 

Overall, just a pesky bird. Not really much a threat to anyone, even with said explosive addiction....as long as you keep to your lane, anyway. he doesn’t like people messing around where they shouldn’t be.

Costume consist of very bright colors like his namesake, and a feathered masquerade mask-everything about it draws attention and says he’s here to put on a show.

If anything, it’s actually kind of scary just how easy he manages to sneak up on people despite said costume. 

Doesn’t have any powers, just his wings, a clever mind, and a penchant for mischief.

[changeling-rin]

Gerudo here. (I guess that's kinda my intro thing.) I have an AU that puts Lux, Rune, Lyric, Emerald, Ruby, and Sapphire all on Codex's team and also makes Ocarina awesome because that boy does not get enough love. (People, he's nine. Nine! Why does this boy get overlooked just because he's only older than Speck in appearance physically and a few months mentally?!) Then again, I kinda put him Through Some Stuff in this AU. So I'm not innocent, but still! I call for an Ocarina Protection Squad! Who's interested?!

Right, the AU. So this came from "how would everyone else be added in". Then I decided that after Demise had nearly destroyed the entire timeline, a new timeline was very, very slowly peeling off, starting at the moment Demise first appears in Gen's era and finally separating completely in RGBV's, the latest point at which Demise's influence was present. This timeline is the origin of Lyric, Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire, Lux, and Rune, in that order, while the original eventually became Codex's era. But part of reality was missing from this world, so in response the universe did the equivalent of sighing, and the 'air' it 'blew' out was an influx of magic to replace the reality lost to Demise.

But this doesn't take full effect until the first Calamity, 10k years before Breath of the Wild. Also as a side effect, Everyone Gets Superpowers. Like Seriously.

The Important List of Superpowers goes thusly:

Lyric: Music magic. When he dances, the music he dances to will begin affecting the surrounding area, and people. The exact effect varies based on the type of music, instruments, tempo, how the instruments interact with each other, and all of that is before the actual song and notes. Lyric has no control over this. He's just dancing and making stuff happen. This is why this specifically was his curse.

Emerald: Paint. He can do the paint on the wall, but Emerald's version of the curse is turning things into paint and back. He has a jar that's bigger on the inside and really hard to break, and that's where he stores all of the important items because only he can reform them.

Ruby: Ironically? Ice powers. The full ice power spectrum; form it, move it, use it, break it. He doesn't use his magic as much as other people though, because Ruby feels that the ice is just plain wrong (which happens sometimes). The ice came from when his entire life went up in fire around the time his magic settled in, so against the fire, ice.

Sapphire: Empathy. Like, can-see-your-emotions kind of empathy. Sapphire can sense other people's emotions with his normal senses. This can be extremely overwhelming for him, especially at a festival or other emotional gathering with a large number of people. It can be any of the five senses, which is really weird because Ruby's emotions are tasted and it's kinda awkward when they're eating and a stray thought makes Ruby mad and then Sapphire tastes it.

Lux: Light. Basically Lux can summon and disperse/absorb light. Not light magic, just light. He can make illusions, and decide who can see in a dark cave, but he can also weaponize the light. He can make flashbombs, but they won't bang because he can't make the sound. He once blinded a guy using this ability.

Rune: An entire story all on its own. It used to be his Quicktime, but then he fell in the Calamity, and the Shrine of Resurrection just sort of plugged him into the magic floating around the world, so now Rune is an entire node of power all on his own. This is what happened with his amnesia; his memories dispersed in the magic field, so he has to find the magic nodes to get his memories back. He never finds it all, but decides that that's okay.

By the way, the Champions are still special. Their magic comes from them; everyone else interacts with the magic around them. This is an important distinction in the story and why they specifically were chosen.

Now about Ocarina. The barrier between the magic world and the world DL takes place in is a kind of empty space where two worlds are trying to tear apart. There are string-like constructs of pure reality still connecting the two. It's called The Fray. Someone had to go investigate, so after a bit of an argument Ocarina ended up going. A lot happens.

He meets Lux and Rune, directly causes them to meet each other, ends up dancing with Lyric, finds Sapphire when he was kidnapped so Emerald and Ruby would give Ocarina his stuff back, has a Discussion with Octavo about proper use of magic and music, meets a version of Mask where DL never happened (slight panic for Ocarina), meets a future Wind who already knows everything that's about to go down, is made to help Botw!Zelda make sure history texts are not wrong, is made to be Ruby's dress up doll (concensus: Ocarina is cute if you dress him right), gets tired of Cia, stabs Cia, makes a note not to tell Shadow about Cia copying him, and becomes the Hero who sealed the Calamity the first time around. Not necessarily in that order. In the process of that last one, the Ocarina of Time breaks and the magic ends up on Ocarina-the-Link's hands because magic and stuff happening with magic. So yeah.

Then the mess with Codex happens. That is a whole other thing. I'll wait until you get to this, do you want to hear about Codex? Also this is now the Fray of Time AU. I might write it. One day. I got two other huge projects on my plate, plus a Reverse AU. Oh, and Ocarina Protection Squad! We must! Yes I get the irony.

So, what I was wondering. One, do you actually like hearing about my AUs because I send a lot and they're weird and random and I want to know if they're appreciated. Two, when Ocarina shows back up with the other Links he knows after going through All That and he tells them about it, what are their reactions? Specifically Mask, Wind and Sketch (bit the others too)? Three, what do you think? Four, can we have an Ocarina protection squad role on Discord?

Yes I'm done now (passes the mic).

One: I do like hearing about people's AU's, though I don't believe I'm necessarily qualified to comment on them!

Two: Mask is now extremely concerned about the timeline, because he remembers none of this and now suspects that Ocarina might have just landed himself in a branching reality? Which is... problematic, at best. Wind apparently needs to remember all of this? To complete the loop? Yeah okay just uh... let him grab a notebook. Sketch does not understand any of what this is, but he's a good sibling and also apparently a participant three times over? Maybe? So he'll listen as much as he can! Everyone else is equal parts baffled, concerned, and fascinated, because it sounds like an adventure. But also. Is Ocarina okay???

Three: I like the idea of taste empathy, it's rather unique. The AU in general seems thoroughly thought-out; I'm amused that you beelined straight for the sequel and OC Links (and also Ocarina). I'm wondering where Codex comes in though? You mentioned his 'team' in the first paragraph and then I don't think he ever shows up again

Four: you're welcome to petition for it, see how many people are interested

[mlwritingprompts]

submitted prompt: Fu, Nathalie and Henri, the responsible adults(?)

kwami swap AU

Instead of Marinette and Adrien getting two of the strongest miraculouses just like that, Fu chooses actual adults.

At first, it’s just Nathalie with the Fox miraculous, because it’s great for distracting enemies, especially since she can attack using illusionary soundwaves and flashbombs (a wasted potential there in canon).

Then Henri gets the Bee Miraculous, because his huge physique makes him a sturdy tank, and with his ability to immobilize a target, he is a very powerful opponent.

Plus, with them not only being adults, but also having now a personal grudge against Hawkmoth for the possibility of him hurting Adrien, they are more driven to defeat the villain, especially since they can easily overpower the akumas by spamming their magical abilities.

Tikki herself is also involved, but her job here is to only purify the akumas and fix the damage in the end, seeing that she doesn’t really need a holder to use her powers.

Plagg is just sleeping comfortably because frankly, let him be.

Fu as well is not lazing around here, but makes a lot of effort to make contact with his chosen, and tries to find clues on the villain.

How do they find and defeat Hawkmoth?

Well because there is two adult heroes, and none of them have any of his desired miraculous, and easily defeat his akumas, he decides to have Nathalie as a subordinate earlier than intended.

Big mistake, because that very night, he quickly finds himself surrounded by the two heroes, with Fu transformed into Jade Turtle, just hidden out of sight just in case.

They manage to take away the two miraculouses and the book, but how do they deal with Gabriel after that? Do they simply erase his memory of the miraculous, or do they use this chance to deal with his actions as a civilian (a horrible billionaire and a horrible parent and all that)? What happens to Adrien, and does his situation help in infuencing their choice?

Rules for the blog - send a prompt

I vote kill him :)

Henri Kennith is the name I gave to Adrien’s bodyguard, since it’s ablest to compare nonverbal people to animals. Anyone who want to can use the name for him!

[reineyday]

bnha characters as volleyball players (au headcanons)

i have never in my life played volleyball outside of gym class and the occasional beach jaunt, so this is all based off of what i learned from haikyuu LOL

anyways, this started as tags from this fanart by @syblatortue​ of deku, kacchan, kiri, sero, iida and shouto as vball players, and then it got away from me so if you wanna read 2.9k worth of headcanons about powerhouse athletics high school UA then go ahead and press “read more” :)

deku's the calculating setter like kenma and he fanboys over stats from the international to the national to the high school

kacchan used to make fun of him and look down on him bc he used to think too much on court to move properly, and as a kid kacchan used to think that it was spiking or bust so he always gave deku grief and bullied him over being slow and weak

in middle school kacchan was a starter since first year and eventually became the ace but deku was always second string setter

his athleticism was nothing to write home about but he was just good enough to make the bench

in their middle school tournament their starting setter got injured and deku had to step in to set for a match for the first time ever

powerhouse volleyball high school coach yagi toshinori is watching and he sees all the aborted plans in deku's setting choices

he sees the gutsy sets that miss and the one successful dump he did that threw everyone off-guard (even deku himself), and yagi remembers what it was like to be hungry for volleyball seeing the look in this kid's eyes and he recognizes the brain on him

their team loses there though bc the fact is that deku wasnt athletic enough to do it and kacchan is yelling and deku's crying

but yagi approaches deku (who freaks out bc all might is THE legendary vball player of their country, and the nation was SHOOK when after getting severely injured by a malicious spike in the wrong place he chose to coach high school vball, even if the school was a powerhouse school and also his alma mater lol)

but anyways deku babbles and fanboys even through his tears and says he got into UA but he's not sure he can make the vball team, and yagi says he sees the potential in deku's plays and if he trains hard every. single. day. from now until the tryouts at UA, he might make at least the bench

(cue montage)

kacchan is angry to see deku at tryouts and fuckn RAGING when deku more or less keeps up bc deku got buff since their last high school match

unfortunately for kacchan he is actually the one most familiar with deku's playing since they trained together in middle school too, and he almost pops a blood vessel just thinking it but ever since deku started actually being able to get to the ball in time, vball has been more fun ‘cuz the things deku ends up doing are fucking batshit crazy and his sets are begrudgingly his favourite to hit

deku sets right where kacchan can just hit the ball as violently as he can, and it sounds like a bomb goes off when the spike hits the ground

(kacchan also obviously has the best serves and he mixes it up with the power ones like his ap shots, or floaters when he's strategic; he knows how to read the opposing team and either wait or serve really fast and serves up high to blind them like his flashbomb explosions, and he’s really arrogant about his serves but at least he can back it up as per classic kacchan)

anyways they become a really intimidating duo, apart but especially together, because despite the way deku still occasionally cowers from kacchan’s rage and kacchan is often yelling and antagonizing deku, they can read each other really smoothly on court and they match each other really easily, and they both go for the really gutsy shit no one else would think to try (like samu and tsumu going for the freak quick with samu setting kind of gutsy)

kacchan is also antagonizing af and calls the other team extras lol

but yeah, those two along with renown olympic vball player todoroki enji's son shouto are the three most intimidating first years at UA

enji has a very aggressive playing style and where he targets people on the opposing team specifically to make them sweat, makes them feel like he’s hot on their heels even from the other side of the net, always glaring, always strong

shouto hates it and hates the way his dad made him train day in and day out just because he had a good reaction time and instincts for the ball when he was young

fuyumi and natsuo were slow as kids and got immediately dismissed bc of it bc to enji if they werent athletic enough for the ideal vball playing style as children then theyd never be athletic enough to beat all might’s vball career and metrics in the future

touya was fast enough but he overtrained and strained his knees and then continued straining them to play anyways till they were permanently damaged, and by the time he graduated middle school, his doctor put him on orders to never ever ever do anything that might be overly strenuous for his knees ever again

anyways, shouto plays very cool and detached, like even when he spikes the ball right into your face you’ll feel like he wasn’t looking; he’s a middle blocker like suna, stays calm but uses his whole body

deku eventually convinces him that playing with fire every once in a while, especially when he spikes, can be a good thing because at the end of the day, his dad may have taught him the tricks but it’s shouto himself who’s playing, and so it’s not his dad’s style, it’s his own

also the spikes just aren’t as good or as psychologically effective if shouto’s not 100p IN it when he goes to spike one of deku’s demanding sets

and im gonna say shouto is ambidextrous but more comfortable with his left hand in this volleyball au because shouto’s left side is his fire side, and it’s more parallel to the character to make his more aggressive spiking hand his left one but still have him be able to use his left hand for spikes too (it’s also SO stressful for opponents bc angles)

also yes he does indeed only play with his right hand (his ice side) when he gets into UA, and is initially very hellbent on proving to his father that he can become a pro vball player without being as aggressive as enji on court and without using his more dominant hand, the hand that his dad’s been focusing on whenever they trained at home, the hand he’s spent hours and hours spiking and serving with since he was like five years old

one day deku notices shouto’s writing with his left hand and then connects the dots and sort of badgers him into spiking one of his sets with his left hand too and then yeah shouto tells him his life story and deku manages to emotionally coerce him into being okay with his left-handed spikes

(shouto also feels better about it when deku points out the left-handed angles thing)

so yeah that’s the big three scary first year starters: calculating and gutsy deku, who occasionally makes plays so gutsy he’s at risk of twisting one of his limbs in a very scary way (he’s always bruised in weird ass places from volleyball); raging, aggressive but also cunning kacchan, who is undoubtedly the loudest on any court he’s on, and ambidextrous hot and cold shouto, who does a pretty solid general defense with little holes but has scary aggressive spikes

btw shouto’s got a fanclub and they call him the volleyball prince

also at one point they totally play a practice match against shiketsu and UA loses bc inasa starts antagonizing shouto for being exactly like his father (inasa asked for enji’s autograph after a match once when he was a kid and got rudely blown off) and shouto gets offended and starts targeting inasa and then they get outplayed (it was a close match though ‘cuz both of them couldnt get their heads out of their asses and both their teams were suffering as a result)

alrighty, the other players in that fanart lmao!

kirishimaaaaa my dude my bro, super solid libero, always pumps up the team, and his defense is unbreakable! will receive even the scariest, most powerful spikes and smile cheerfully through it; will always insist that you’re manly for playing with everything you have and never letting fear get in the way of going for it

his middle school had a huge and scary substitute gym teacher who didn’t have mercy and spiked hard right to the faces of the students, and kiri really wanted to run forward to receive the spike and yell about how unfair this teacher was but he froze because the spike seemed unforgiving and if he received it wrong, what if his nose broke? what if he fell and broke something from the impact? mina didnt pause though and she received the spike and told off their substitute teacher and then reported it to their homeroom teacher and it was so manly of her, he promised himself he would never hesitate just bc of a scary spike again

btw mina’s all-around athletic and could probably make it onto the girls vball team but she’s probably on the UA dance team (UA is a powerhouse school for many sports, and theyre famous for their athletics department bc they often hire (former) pro-athletes to teach and coach)

iida comes from a family of sprint runners and he’s the one they trust for the most running; he’s their first year decoy and he’s fast af for such a big guy, and he often also provides extra block support from zooming left and right

also enjoys helping out the managers and corralling his team into being good students; he’d offer to tutor kirishima but kiri seems to have fun trying to be friends with bakugou lol; he makes it known that he’s there if kiri wants some extra patience to go along with his studies though

sero guess blocks so accurately people like to say that he’s got tape coming from his elbows, bringing the ball straight to his arms so that he can block; actually he’s pretty known for having weirdly accurate control bumping the ball back from places other than his hands (esp his elbows though), like he’s just so aware of his body, and he uses everything he can to keep the ball off the ground so he’s good at general defense

some other people i wanna mention:

aizawa’s their supervising teacher and the first year homeroom teacher (he gets to hear bakugou explode both first thing in the morning AND right at the end of the day, oh joy); all might just coaches ‘cuz he does other former pro stuff during class time, so he somehow ended up in charge of the volleyball club after the previous teacher stopped being able to

he never went pro but he’s a black belt mixed martial artist, and he still does those parent-child karate classes with hitoshi (who is now close to black belt and on the demo team, since they’ve been doing this since hitoshi was like five) and eri (who just got her yellow belt! aizawa is soft)

only hizashi, nemuri, oboro and his kids know this but he’s also REALLY good at doing aerial silk and he looks graceful af when he does it

hitoshi started kinda learning aerial silk when hizashi took him to a rock climbing place that had the silks on the ceiling (dont at me, there’s a place EXACTLY like this where i used to live lmao) and found out they offer classes there, and hizashi laughed and said “yknow your dad is pro at those right”

ochako is their first year manager, and when everyone is confused about kacchan continuing to call deku something so mean, she talks about how the nickname is cute and gives off the impression that he’s trying his best and when deku grins and blushes and seems to be happy with it, the whole team starts calling him deku with the same intentions and fondness behind it

every time other people hear UA calling their starting setter “deku” theyre so confused

nejire is the third year manager leaving and she does gymnastics and dance outside of school

mirio is the ace and his thing is that he is very strong and very precise, and he moves like he phases through the other players

tamaki is a middle blocker that can adapt all kinds of playing strategies pretty fast as long as he’s got time to digest them and decent food in his stomach—he’s a great decoy ‘cuz his spikes are hard and he’s pretty fast too, and while he prefers read blocking, there are a few times he guess blocks and it’s accurate af and kinda scary honestly

tamaki and mirio are also pretty fearsome ‘cuz people start off scared of mirio’s power spikes and serves (btw his goal is to spike a million service aces LOL), and then tamaki kind of surprises them ‘cuz he seems to be able to just? do everything??? (and theyre extra surprised bc no doubt he’ll be talking himself down and doubting himself before the match and the opponents will think like “oh good he’s mentally weak” and he kind of is but also holy shit??? we got blocked AGAIN???) and so they sort of only keep a peripheral eye on mirio while they start focusing on tamaki, and then all of a sudden mirio’s not where you thought he was and how’d he get there so fast and there other players in the way??? and then mirio spikes one in

this isn’t really related to anything else but you BET mirio can bend low and do insanely accurate bump receives from pretty close to the ground like! his thighs and knees are legend

we don’t really know any second year bnha students, but i’d like to think their starting team isn’t just first years, so i’d say like… hm or mb tamaki is starting setter (all the stuff about adapting and easily digesting strategies still applies, as well as his flexible skillset, it just now includes setting) and mirio is his ace, but all might puts deku in a lot more than you’d expect a bench player to be subbed in not only ‘cuz it shakes up the other team to see such a meek-looking kid do these gutsy-ass sets, but also bc it’s good for tamaki’s mental health that he feels like he’s got a really great setter right there supporting him as well, even though he knows (objectively) that he can hold the fort on his own

so yeah, id say tamaki and mirio for sure starters (mirio is captain), kirishima’s a starter (he’s always been really good, he just used to get a little scared off in matches sometimes, but since the thing with mina, he’s been really gunning for it, and also conveniently their last really good libero graduated the year before and they didn’t really have a good backup), shouto’s a starter (he’s lowkey mad about it bc it feels like he’s fulfilling his dad’s legacy and he doesnt want to be), and probably two second years, that feels fair

bakugou’s benched bc his temper’s still a little too unwieldy for the court (much to his dismay), sero’s still patching up holes in his defense, and deku could stand to watch other people’s playing styles, but u bet theyre all fearsome af when theyre on court: deku seems to be the only one that seems to be able to bring out shouto’s terrifying spikes for now; after their first qualifiers, rumours fly around the vball circuit about his angry pinch server that’s so mad he’s not a regular, he takes it all out on his serves and rip the team that has to try and receive them

well okay, so bakugou is the only that i can qualify as actually fearsome bc even when he’s being intimidating sero is a pretty chill dude, and deku looks too nice to really be scary so the opponents usually arent scared until he starts playing and then for them it’s just this internal monologue of “what the fuck? what the FUCK???”

and sero, while chill, is the type to be aggressively cheerful and grin really wide after he blocks and gives you, the opponent, really supportive feedback that sort of still offends you but in a way you cant refute because every word he said was nice and his demeanour was nice too and yet? you kinda wanna strangle him??? and then he laughs winsomely and blocks your next spike too (like, “awh i noticed you have a tendency to follow here when xyz happens, but better luck next time right? that’s usually a pretty good play”)

and of COURSE their school banner says “plus ultra”

ANYWAYS i went OFF lmao i can’t believe i really wrote 2.9k of headcanons for this

i have waaaay more ideas about what the rest of the class and other characters are up to in this au that is powerhouse athletics high school UA so if for some reason you got all the way to the end then thank you and please interact if you wanna talk more about it!!!

[the-name-is-loser]

Splatgonronpa Executions. As a treat.

Warnings: Graphic depictions of death. What did you expect? It’s a Splatoon au of danganronpa, after all.

Levi:

Despite him supposedly being an early game victim, if he does become a blackened, it’s late game- which means he figured out that executions work based off of Despair. So to prolong his life a bit longer in case he was found out, he just makes sure to not feel despair.

The mastermind realizes he figured out the secret to the executions, and decides “no fuck you”

So his trial comes and goes, he’s found guilty, blah blah.

So he’s prepared to face something predictable like ‘ooh you stabbed ya husband’ or ‘your parents are disappointed in you’ and it’s fucking.

Girl Power Station.

(He’s Agent 10,008 by the way)

He’s feeling despair before the execution even begins.

So he’s like “okay calm down, they’re planning on me being distracted by the octolings so I just have to avoid them!”

So he’s doing his best to not die and narrowly avoids the octolings trying to kill him.

There’s one second left on the timer when the orb gets attacked by hidden Octolings.

It gets destroyed.

“You let the orb get destroyed. Test Failed.”

So in the end, Levi still felt despair as he died.

Ezra

This boyo is also an early game victim, xe dies with Levi in an attempt to protect him from their (plural) murderer.

Again, in case he does become a blackened, it’s something more predictable.

During xyr teenage years, he was manipulated until his early twenties- By xyr ex-boyfriend, “friends”, etc.

So his death would be like

Xem being controlled with strings while various people stab him, and xe ultimately dies from being forced to stab himself.

You know the word backstabbing? His death is that but literally. Xe’s literally stabbed in the back by people he thought loved xem, and forced to kill himself because xe treated his exes words like an order from god.

… damn I really just said fuck this oc in particular LMAO

Armani

So he’s the protagonist after Levi dies, so he shouldn’t be dying anytime soon. But again, just out of curiosity?

He’s a model in Inkopolis, and committed the cardinal crime of enjoying his job.

Also used to have a friend who died in the Metro because of the train.

Maybe you can see where I’m going with this?

Basically, he gets hella flashbombed, and hears his friend call out for him. He falls for it, and when he tries to go see where his friend is- BAM a train.

Adam

This person is actually my brothers OC, so I’m just going off of what he said.

He told me Adam is a yandere over someone else called Pax V. who broke up with him because he was scared.

His execution could be Pax V. (Or maybe monokuma in disguise), running up to him like ‘sorry for breaking up with you! It turns out that I still love you!”

So when Adam goes to hug Pax he just like. Stabs him or something.

And you get the added bonus that if it was the real pax, he’s traumatized from killing someone!

It’s a win win for Monokuma.

Pax V.

Apparently, according to my brother, he’s claustrophobic, so his death would probably just be a dark room slowly getting smaller without him realizing. Easy.

A buncha others, but these are the ones I though of first.

[peppersandcats]

...I cannot believe it took until now, several years into the fandom and having read tattoo AUs before, to notice the tattoo-relevant pun possibilities in the word flash.

Also this looks fantastic.

Barry/Axel - Tattoo AU

Flash Ink is one of the best tattoo parlours in Central City when Axel Walker gets a job, fresh out of jail on criminal mischief but Iris West knows talent when she sees it. Barry Allen is bouncing back from the break up of a forever relationship when Axel’s acidic wit gets under his skin and makes a solid case for opening up his heart again

[krebstar]

me and @kravalicious were talking about wesper soulmate aus bc i was reading fics and they came up with this idea and im gonna talk about it because i love it a lot

you have a symbol of your soulmate tattooed on your wrist

wylan, of course, has two pistols intersecting on his

and jesper has an explosion

which he never seemed to really be able to figure out what it meant, if it was literal or a comment on their personality

he ended up taking it as the latter

so hes expecting this like loud, boisterous person kinda like him

wylan knows jespers his soulmate from pretty much the moment they meet in the tannery

he sees jespers pistols and just “Ah”

but he doesnt say anything about it

and jesper here is expecting this bright, big personality so when he meets this merchling wylan to talk to him about demo it doesnt really connect with him at first

it takes him a while but it finally clicks when wylan sets off his first real bomb, not just a flashbomb

and jesper just kinda oh

he brings it up to wylan the next chance they have to get some alone time bc u know some birds are nosey

and wylans just like “yeah........... i know”

they bicker a little bit, jesper upset that wylan didnt say anything. wylan saying he didnt want to because he wasnt sure jesper knew (and lowkey kinda wanted to make him work for it) n stuff

jesper ends up getting frustrated enough that he just kisses wylan n mutters something about liking him since they first met

wylans a bit caught off guard by the sudden kiss but happily initiates more kisses after
