16 OMG - what was once mine, will be yours (✿)

scaramouche x fem!reader

blue is for scaramouche, green for heizou

"scara, what's the thing you wanted to find? is it like.. maybe another keychain? an id holder? an acrylic standee? or a phone case of some sort?"

"its a secret. you'll see later when we find it." he smiled smugly, playing around with his necklace as you walked beside him.

feigning a scoff, you then pointed towards a tall building with the words "AKADEMIYA" lighted up brightly. "we're almost there, you've gotta lead the way though. i don't know the directions to the inazuma classes.."

scaramouche nodded and continued walking, "yeah, just keep on following me." putting his hands in his pockets, his thoughts racing miles per hour.

fuck. am i really giving it to her? i cant believe this.

┊ ➶ ｡˚ 　　°

"we're here." scaramouche spoke as you admired the entrance to where inazuma class is located.

..this place is so pretty..! "wow... am i allowed to take a picture of the entrance? am i?" you questioned excitedly, taking out a phone from your bag.

he shrugged, "i think it should be fine, it's not like they don't have a video published of a tour of the whole akademiya. feel free to." you smiled and nodded, taking some pictures of the place for yourself and showing him the results once done.

"do you like them? look! i even caught a picture of you here." grinning happily, you handed your phone to him as you watched the corners of his lips lift up. "yeah, they look nice. mind sending me these pictures?"

nodding happily, you sent the pictures to him.

"we should start looking now. you could start from the front of the class, i'll start from the back." scaramouche said, and began to search for the item.

you then picked up an artificial flower that's in half, showing it to him. "i guess someone in this class got heartbroken or something like that.." sweatdropping, you grabbed a cardboard box nearby and put the flower inside.

i think this'll take awhile to find..

┊ ➶ ｡˚ 　　°

"scara, it's been around 20 minutes.. did you find anything? all i found were stuff like school books, hair ties, keychains, and hairclips. what's up with people and keychains?" you questioned as he sighed softly.

"well, keychains are nice and you can bring it everywhere with you without it adding too much weight to your bag. there's one spot left we haven't checked, we should look there."

nodding, you followed him behind and began looking again. your eyes went towards a small cat plushie, grabbing it gently and showing it to the male.

"scara, is this what you were finding?"

his eyes widen slightly and went back to normal in a blink of an eye, walking in front of you. "yeah, it is.. if you look on it's back it has my nickname in cursive."

your eyes sparkled, handing over the plushie to him. "it's really cute.. and it kind of looks like you in some way. maybe it's the color?"

scaramouche gently pushed the plushie towards you again, "take it, i wanted to give it to you. it's something my aunt made for me, but i wanted you to have it now."

your eyes softened as you looked at the plushie and at him, holding the plushie near him again. "wait, i can't take this! it's yours, isn't it? i can't take this.."

the male shook his head and placed his hand on your head, "keep it, really. what was once mine, will be yours. i want you to keep it for yourself." ruffling your hair softly.

"then.. thank you. lots of thank you's. i'll update you every day with a picture of this cat plushie whenever i wake up! i'll take care of it with my whole being."

scaramouche chuckled and walked out of the class, "it's nothing, i think we should go back to our dorms now. it's kind of late, don't want our dorm advisers to scold us now do we?" you smiled and nodded, holding the plushie close to your chest as you closed the door.

and as you both walked away, you saw a flash of burgundy hair from the corner of your eyes. stopping in your tracks, you shrugged the thought away.

in a corner, a certain male put a hand over his mouth. "wasn't that yn.. and she was with scara? oh my god. a new discovery. i'm so glad i followed my intuition to find my hair tie at this hour!"

• heizou sneak.. i had to

• btw i know the plushie looks big BUT PRETEND ITS SMALLER THAN IT LOOKS

Helly hcs?

/Nf

𖦹 ☘️ ˓ ミ Helly !! headcanons 𝅄˚ ♡̸

• Of course! I'm taking it a little slow with the oneshots, but do feel free to request for hcs for charatcers and what not!

☆ . Being the youngest, the entire team treats him like a little brother. When he is unable to go out due to his many accidents, they try their best to make spare time for him!

☆ . Back onto the first headcanon, if the rct team is free; they LOVE to build pillow forts together! Sometimes, Helly even asks to play 'kingdom' with them. Helly likes to protray himself as various things, but its usually him with a paper crown and a blanket as a cape.

☆ . Loves making artcrafts! For each member he had made one for them, and they all treasure it dearly.

☆ . Helly doesn't like the dark. It reminds him of when he fell in that ravine in episode 2 season 3. Usually Roy sits with him (because of his horrible sleeping schedule, hes usually awake) and comforts him until he falls asleep. Jin had made a little helicopter shaped lamp to solve this problem!

☆ . Droney and him are like best friends. They go on little adventures together, even if it causes total chaos.

☆ . Speaking of Droney and Helly, they LOVE to prank the entire rescue team. Once, they had filled up Poli's locker with fake catterpillars. Let's just say the entire town have heard Poli's screams that day..

☆ . Pretty sure this is a little canon but; he sometimes feels a little useless to the team. He has this mindset as to where they found him annoying because due to him being a child, he cant keep up very well. But the team reasures him that they love him and it will always be that way.

☆ . (This is a bit Royber related, forgive me.) Loves to tease Roy over his crush on Amber. The amount of times he has called Roy a hopeless romantic is priceless!

☆ . Loves food like any typical kid does. Candy, cake. And what not! And hates food that any typical kid does. Vegetables, especially green peppers. Poli and him have a shared hate over vegetables. (Little do they know, roy sneaks in veggies in their meals sometimes.)

☆ . He sometimes helps Jin out whenever shes making one of her many insane inventions. Sometimes, she even lets him screw a few things here and there!

☆ . On my GL2 design, he has a little hairclip of colors that represent the team. He just views the entire team as his older siblings.

☆ . Developed spring allergies. Spring is certainly not of his favourite seasons. It would be actually summer! He loves to play around on the beach.

☆ . Whenever him and Jin bicker, his way of apologizing is drawing Jin a little something. Jin had made a board to hang onto the wall so she can put his drawings onto there.

☆ . There's not a single day where you dont see him without a bandaid. It's practically an accessory to his outfit now.

☆ . He lights up the team in every way. Sometimes, he even manages to get them into one of his many silly shenanigans. (Besides Droney, Roy and him love to prank the others too. ESPECIALLY Poli.)

☆ . Ipad kid

☆ . Once tried to make a propeller for Roy when the fire engine said he wishes he could fly like him too. Lets just say, it didnt end up very well..

. . .

Thank you for the ask! :)

Promo!

As the camera flickers to life, four people stand before you. One bubbly with a set of red earrings, one emo with a silver ring, one regal with an odd hairclip, and one creepy with a golden necklace.

"Oh, I got it working! Ahem! I'm Kaede Akamatsu! I go to school at Rosewood High, right over there."

She points to her school in the background, your average high school.

"Yes, that is correct. We all do. I am Sonia Nevermind, the Princess of a European country called Novoselic. A pleasure to make your acquaintance."

She curtsies before you.

"I'm Shuichi Saihara, an aspiring detective. But if you know me, you probably know because of my actor parents. But I want to make my own name on here, you know?"

"And I'm Kokichi Ouma... Don't bother saying anything about me. If you despise me, I really don't care."

Yeesh! How rude!

"We're a totally normal group of friends who are just looking to make some new friends! So mind giving us a promo?"

GN!Kylar x GN!Reader - Welcome to Cafe Cuties!

1.7k words. You are in the world of Cafe Cuties (LoL) where you work as a waitress. Kylar is a regular. Fluff.

Although the Reader wears a dress, the writing is pretty gender neutral. Recommended songs can be found at the bottom. I reccomend listening to one of them while reading the chapter!

A comfortable job. That’s how you would describe your job at Café Cuties.  

The customers were nice and respectful, coming to the place to enjoy various magic tricks, all the while enjoying something sweet and tasty to eat.  

Cream and yellow walls decorated the interior, with delicate marble flooring. Comfortable chairs, cheerful, vibrant flowers. A big, glass ceiling that let light shine through, seeping into the local establishment. Popular among both young and old – and anywhere in-between – it’s no wonder that the eatery was staffed full most of the time.  

You shifted in your green maid dress, a white, frilly apron was draped over your form. With an emerald ribbon hairclip to match your outfit, you strutted to your customer, taking in their order. A cheerful smile – as always – was on your face as you wrote down whatever your customer wanted. 

Shortly after, you turned on your kitten heels, walking in the direction of your own small helper. Teacub, was their name. A small, magic-filled bear, which gladly helped you serve your customers.  

“A strawberry shortcake and our special matcha tea latte, Teacub. Care to bring the cake?” you gestured with your hands, smile stretching wider as you saw your cute little helper move about, before nimbly moving on their feet, small sparkles following after their form.  

You wasted no time, placing a porcelain pitcher on your tray, along with some matcha powder, ice cubes and milk. As you finished getting your tray ready and started to walk in the direction of your client, Teacub wobbled behind you, a small plate with the strawberry shortcake above their head, levitating above them with the help of your magic.  

Your heels clicked against the marble floor as you neared a familiar mop of black hair. Their back was turned towards you. They seemed to be busy with a phone game. You leaned towards them, your vanilla perfume hitting their senses as you placed the tray before them, giving them your signature smile. Kylar’s chest felt like it might burst open any second now. They could almost feel the warmth radiating off of your body.  

With a snap of your wrist, the water from the pitcher escaped and the matcha powder swiftly fell into the bone china cup. The water twirled around your arm, steam escaping the hot liquid as you continued on with your performance. The water descended gradually into the cup, familiar glittering sparkles following after the liquid. You placed your free hand behind your back. As you finished pouring in the water, you used the same hand to whisk the tea with your magic.  

Finally, you used the hand behind your back to move the honey into the cup, making small gestures with your pointing finger, conducting the direction of where the honey went. Adding the usual amount, you whished the tea again, before quickly adding the ice cubes and as a finishing touch, frothed milk. You made sure to make a drawing of a cute teddy bear. Teacub gently placed the cake at Kylar’s side.  

“Your order is ready, Master! I hope you’ll have a pleasurable experience. If you need anything, just ring the bell, and I’ll come right away, Master!” 

Kylar’s cheeks flushed red as you finished your speech. You bowed your head and turned around, getting ready to tend to your other customers, Teacub following after you.  

The time passed, but Kylar stayed fast in their place, even when the cake has been eaten and the matcha tea latte has been drank until the cup remained empty. You obviously noticed. It was hard not to. After all, they looked at you often, a dazed expression on their face, a small blush coloring their cheeks as they played with their hands idly. Each time you met their gaze, they would look away to the side, an inaudible gasp leaving them as they pretended to do something else in embarrassment.  

Cute. That’s all you could say.  

You were no amateur when it came to love. You had to be blind to not notice the crush they had on you.  

Luckily, it gave you more chances to tease them, often playfully being closer to them than you should. Sending them more smiles than you could count, maybe even adding an extra pastry from time to time. Especially with strawberries, since they seemed to be their favorite.  

It kept you wondering about how long you had to wait before they would make their move. With how they were still today, you could take a guess that you didn’t have to wait much longer. 

They always stuttered whenever you said something to them, but today, all they did was nod their head. Face more red than usual, easier to embarrass as you came up to ask if you could clean up after them, since the closing time was nearing.  

As you were about to grab the cup and place it on your tray, Kylar’s grabbed your wrist, using an amount of strength you didn’t expect from someone so petite and delicate looking. You tilted your head, hair swaying to the side along with the ribbon you wore, casting them a curious glance.  

“Yes, Master?” you asked, sending them the softest and most encouraging smile you could muster, patiently waiting for them to say anything as lots of “Um...”s and “Uh...” s were almost coughed out with how nervous they were.  

“D-Do you want to go out, s-some time?”  

There it was. A simple question. Luckily, you didn’t have to think long about your answer. Otherwise, you were sure Kylar would burst into tears if you took too long, with how stressful they were. You swore you could see a small bead of sweat forming on top of their left temple. Their eyes moved almost frantically from left to right, anywhere but your eyes.  

“Of course! Would you like to walk me home after work, Master?” 

Kylar’s heart fluttered and they let go of your wrist, nodding their head eagerly, ruffling up their hair as a result.  

Feeling particularly bold, you brought your hand to their hair, gently patting them in place and smoothing them out. They leaned into your touch instantly, no hesitation on their part. Their earlier tensed posture has relaxed again. Cute. Adorable.  

You continued for a few more seconds, before bringing your hand back to your side, a content smile on your face. A small giggle left your lips and the corners of your eyes wrinkled slightly as a result. You were like an angel. A pure-hearted, kind and gracious angel in the eyes of Kylar.  

“I’ll be back in 20 minutes. Is that okay, Master? Then we can walk home, Master.” 

As soon as Kylar nodded again, this time more calmly, you finished up your work enthusiastically, eager to finish at least 5 minutes early so you could spend more time with Kylar. It didn’t take much longer until you changed into your usual clothes and exited the café, where Kylar was already waiting for you in front of the entrance.  

You brought their smaller hand into yours, giving it a squeeze and startling them, a squeak audible in the air. They looked you directly into your eyes, before calming down at the realization that it was just you, a blush appearing on their cheeks again.  

How sweet.  

“Ready?”  

You didn’t wait for an answer, instead you walked ahead, Kylar trailing behind you slowly, taking in your appearance under the moonlight that shone on both of you. You looked to pretty. So beautiful. Ethereal. The wind picked up and they could smell your perfume again. It didn’t take long before they completely melted, head empty, being in heaven just from being around you.  

Although there wasn’t much conversation, you didn’t mind much. It was a comfortable silence. Their hand was warm, with an occasional twitch here and there. You guessed they were still nervous. You slowed down your steps so they would have an easier time walking with you. Soon, both of your steps were synced together.  

“Thanks for walking me home. I hope to see you tomorrow, Ky~” the teasing tone of your voice made it obvious you weren’t done yet. It made them nervous. They didn’t know what you have planned, but they were quite keen on knowing what it was.  

You pressed a soft kiss on their cheek, sending them straight to heaven. They looked at you with wide eyes, surprised and happy, before bringing you into a tight hug. Another giggle left your lips as you pet them on their head again, gushing at how cute and bashful they were being, which only made them hide in the crook of your neck even more.  

Their locks tickled at your neck, making your giggles turn into laughter. You tried your best to push them away gently, wanting the tickling to stop. But between laughter and gasps, it was hard to do. They continued to press themselves harder into you, not finally realizing that they were tickling you with their hair by mistake. Still, they didn’t let go.  

Instead, they nuzzled into you as aggressively as possible, which only brought out more of the sweet melody they wanted to hear. They will make sure to remember that sound forever.  

When you were really out of breath, they finally stopped and pulled back, a shy grin on their lips as they looked at you with such lovestruck eyes it made you melt on the spot, instantly making you gush again at how cute they were being. Compliments left your mouth automatically, which only made them more bashful, still having that lovestruck expression on their face.  

“I’ll see you tomorrow!” with a last kiss on the cheek, you opened the door and went inside, getting ready to unwind after a day of work.  

Meanwhile, Kylar was holding their cheek, far away in their imagination, not registering yet that you already went inside. They could already see a future with you, visions of a wedding already forming before their eyes. Motivated, they decided that they’ll make you the happiest spouse in the whole world, at any cost possible.

season 1 summary: may 2024

i've hit 30 situations! this summary is mainly for my personal documentation (i like documenting stuff), but i thought i'd post this in the blog too just in case anyone else was interested!

STATISTICS

to the surprise of absolutely no one, whit got first place, appearing eight times throughout may 2024! however, his first place is because of a technicality, since i counted the pinned post for this season. otherwise he'd tie with second place and our recently crowned "invasive species", arei, who appeared seven times. i know i encouraged you people to let her commit crimes, but it appears i have underestimated the fandom because there's STILL people telling her to steal even MORE stuff in the inbox. third place is charles, appearing five times, three of which happened in the span of five days. bullying him (and making arei and whit bully him) is really fun though!

also, i think now is a good time to talk about how i "plan" out the situations. i try to draw at least one situation a day as a "warmup" before i draw... Other Stuff, and i try to stock up at least a week's worth of doodles, just in case i become unavailable for whatever reason. i also try my Absolute Best to ensure that everyone* appears at least twice a month, whether by picking requests wildly out of order or taking matters to my own hands through the original situations, though a bias for whit really can't be avoided...

*mai and monotv are excluded from this "rule", though i bring out monotv often when i need a casualty. take arei and whit stacking things and arei and j playing mario kart, for example!

PERSONAL FAVORITES (in chronological order)

1) Motivational words from Min

I still consider this one of my greatest creations in my mortal life. maybe i should reblog this on main everytime i procrastinate on something. i'm sure there will be always someone who needs the encouragement

2) Charles holds Eden's yuri manga hostage

this headcanon sucker punched me on what was a normal afternoon, but i'm glad i realized it to this world... even though i barely read new stuff in the first place, let alone yuri. maybe one day i'll find something that caters to my oddly specific tastes, but for now i'll enjoy the yaoi vs yuri memes from afar and let those more qualified than me to verify how true himejoshi eden and himedanshi charles are

3) A regular "PMD Club" meeting

i am an autotroph and need to create one oddly specific self-indulgent situation per month to sustain myself and the joy i have for drawing. i promise this Will happen again. i might even outright sneak in some of my aus, out of context...!

4) Arei steals Charles' goggles

it really says a lot about me as a person that my personal favorites are mostly unserious shitposts, but i've been meaning to draw arei bullying charles with the nerd emoji since... a few months ago, i think? some of the situations are prompts i've always wanted to draw, but am too lazy to do in my "proper" style

THE POWER OF HINDSIGHT

sometimes i think of adding punchlines in the situations, or fix errors after i've put them in the queue, but forget to actually. do them.

after arei stole david's hairclips, emovid's debut would've been something along the lines of arei freeing him from his stage persona by taking away his hairclips. but i forgor.

monotv's body had the wrong colors this one time, but i have since decided that arei got paid by the real monotv to murder a bootleg / defect monotv

as i've mentioned in the tags, teruko on a llama at the machu picchu was supposed to be posted in ace yaps and levi listens' place, but i did an Oopsie and forgot to adjust the queue properly. out of the ~10 posts i had queued up that time, i got insanely lucky that the teruko doodle was the one that got delayed, since i forgot to draw her bandage. ultimate lucky student moment

also as i've mentioned in the tags, if my wii was still working i would've attempted to recreate an actual screenshot of j and arei playing mario kart wii

arei would've have had more time to steal even more things before i put her in jail, but i decided to give her a break this month. i assure you, she will return with a Vengeance.

OTHER REMARKS

i've gotten so, so used to drawing whit and arei. i haven't quite gotten the hang of everyone else yet, though i can draw xander, eden, and charles pretty consistently. hardest to draw is hu, but that's mainly because i can't draw straight hair

i kinda wanna add a subtle pattern to the background…? even just a grid would be fine. also thinking of changing the background color every now and then

i'd like to make an animation one day. it's definitely going to be a shitpost and a very unserious situation, but i'd like to make an animation one day

i expected struggling to catch up with requests, but i genuinely didn't expect about two new requests a day?? i really thought i had to pad out the days with more of my original situations, but i'm actually glad i have such a big selection of requests with a decent variety. Aside from arei's many, many crimes.

if you're still here... thank you so, so much! for reading until the end and entertaining my side project! i've never been a particularly "active" artist and tend to lurk more often than not, but seeing the same people regularly come and leave little comments in their reblogs does something to my heart that i didn't think could ever happen. even seeing new people excites me, because i think this is the smallest fandom i've ever been in? i hope i can keep this blog going…!

[fulgurbugs]

got someone in the mail a day early!

it’s spa day lagoona!

let me tell you, she’s been a lower priority doll for me for a little bit, one of the ones i decided i’d get only if i saw her on sale. then, all over reddit, i was seeing people find her in walmart clearance for 9 dollars- which i thought was going to be my chance. i mean, a playset doll that normally goes for 40 for 9 dollars is insanely good. unfortunately, i checked all the walmarts near my hometown (and the only one that’s close to my school) with no luck finding the fabled 9 dollar lagoona.

however, i was still occasionally checking for her online, and did see her for 20 dollars, which was a good enough deal that i decided to go for it. my walmart is terrible with mh stock so i figured it was my best shot.

here she is free! there’s two reasons i was interested in this lagoona- her makeup (it’s one of my fave lagoona looks) and her hair. i do plan to restyle this lagoonas hair, and the reason i put her on my wishlist in the first place is that i saw some really cute restyles of her online.

obviously, her hair is extremely long. i think the longest on any doll i have, as it goes all the way down to her feet. makes sense though, this is a hair play doll. she comes with lots of hair styling accessories, for her and for you, theoretical small child who’s playing with her.

we’ll ignore that i’m 21 and have short hair. here’s everything she comes with

we have

-one bathrobe

-16 hair clips (8 beads and 8 seashells)

-seahorse comb

-face mask for lagoona

-2 hair chalks

-blue hair elastics

-seashell storage case

-temporary tattoos

-matching set of human and doll sized hair clips

(i’ll actually missing one of the human size hairclips, which makes me think mine may have been a return. i’ll take having a missing piece that i would’ve just put into storage than some child who actually wants the hair items be missing one)

you can fit all the clips in the little seashell case :D

here’s the seahorse comb next to the one from goreganizer draculaura. weirdly, the teeth are much wider. these are also the colors of the hair chalk (the purple one isn’t that blue irl, but it is bluer than the purple case)

i’m tempted to put the temporary tattoos on my hands or something. maybe when i’m done doing dishes after this, i’ll update lol.

this lagoona has a lighter, paler blonde than core lagoona. i know i said in that post that i liked core lagoonas shade of blonde, but i think i like the paler blonde more. putting them next to each other, you can kinda see how yellow core lagoona is (though, it looks fine still with her rainbow theme. spa day lagoona has a more concentrated color palette)

shoe time! theyre actually asymmetrical, which i didn’t notice at first. cool detail!

face card! i really like the shade of lipstick and the pink and blue eyeshadow they went with for her on this one.

.5 shot (of course)

decided to display her with the robe on. it’s cute. anyways, that’s spa day lagoona, and i’ll probably end up restyling her hair tomorrow when i can get my supplies from the studio, so i’ll be sure to post that when i’m done. thanks for reading!

Can I request the RFA + Minor Trio with a MC who loves to play with their hair?

Yoosung takes a lot of time and care to style his hair the way he does. He's probably the only person who actually read the directions on his hair dye to make sure the bleaching and coloring process went properly, because he was determined to get a specific shade of blond. He also takes pride in the shape and style of his bangs, complete with cute hairclips! So if MC starts fiddling with the ends of his hair, he may be startled at first. "Waaah... Am I still cute? Am I too messy?" MC needs to reassure him that he's always the cutest, and then he will enjoy the feeling of his lover ruffling his (very stiff) locks.

Zen is always ready to boast about his luscious hair, and if MC expresses any interest, he will spam them with selfies of his hair in different styles: ponytail, down, bun, braided, you name it. But MC sees that the first time he actually believes he's beautiful is the first time they run their fingers through his hair and gasp, murmuring, "Your hair is so soft and pretty." He's spent most of his life being shamed and ridiculed for his white hair, and to hear MC praise it... He's not crying. He's totally not crying. He just suddenly starts asking MC to play with his hair every other day.

Jaehee is caught off-guard the first time that MC plays with her hair. "Your hair is so silky!" MC twirls the short ends of Jaehee's hair between their fingers, relishing in the texture. Jaehee is visibly flustered. "I... have not heard any compliments about my hair since I cut it," she would confess. "You should have seen it when it was long, before Mr. Han...." When Jaehee starts fresh and grows her hair out once again, MC is eager to twirl the long, wavy strands around their fingers once again.

707 will not ask MC to fiddle with his hair, but he secretly hopes they will. He loves the feeling of fingers getting tangled in his thick, fiery curls, and the drag of nails on his scalp helps ground him when he gets too absorbed in his work. The first time MC starts to play with his curls, he's ecstatic. "Feel free to ruffle 'em up!" The only problem is when he and MC get too excited and end up knocking his glasses off.

Jumin has never experienced someone playing with his hair. He learned how to groom his hair by himself, more or less, with occasional assistance from a housekeeper when he was young. But none of those touches were ever tender or caring, always calculated and cold. He almost seems overstimulated the first time that MC runs their fingers along the back of his head, humming about how shiny and fine his hair is. Now he understands why Elizabeth loves being pet, and he finds himself asking for headpats or small strokes along the crown of his head before he goes to sleep.

Ray is far too focused on making life perfect at Magenta for MC to ever think about his own wants and needs. But one evening when he comes bearing dessert, MC invites him to sit down with them. He doesn't know what he's expecting, but it's certainly not the sudden feeling of a hairbrush dragging through his stiff, coarse bleached locks. Shame washes over him, flushing his face a deeper color than his jacket. Will MC think him weak and pathetic, once they learn how tough and dull his hair is? "You always take such good care of me. I wanted to take care of you for once." He's afraid of getting too comfortable, too complacent. He wants to be the one who provides for MC... but being pampered in their arms is a blessing he would dare not spurn.

V has grown accustomed to the question of whether his hair color is natural. He can feel his teeth grit and his blood run cold, as he forces a polite smile onto his face to inform nosy inquirers that he inherited it from his mother. He hates talking about her. Not because he hates her, but on the contrary, because he hates how he and his father neglected and mistreated her for so long. So when MC toys with the ends of his hair for the first time, he braces himself for that miserable question. But instead MC simply whispers, "Your hair is so silky and soft. Have you considered growing it even longer?" He doesn't know how to respond when MC starts braiding his hair. He just knows that he subconsciously lies his head in their lap as he melts into their gentle touch.

Vanderwood does not like when people get too close to them without permission. He's forced himself to become tough, aloof, and icy to prevent others from getting hurt... and to ensure he never develops another liability or weakness. They're already grumpy about being on a name basis with MC, because they know that any "connections" they forge must be temporary. But when MC sits behind Vanderwood one day and pretends to make twintails out of the long ends of his mullet... well, he knows he's in trouble, because he can't help but chuckle.

Can you tell me some wholesome headcanons you have about the silly sheep man!

ive shared some of this before here but some of them are: - loves theater and movie making, he aspired to create films/plays as a director someday - he also loves mathematics, linguistics and literature and tinkering with his machines and magic. he knows everything ofc coz thirst for knowledge but these ones are the ones he loves the most - when he actually like sleeps normally, he doesnt sleeptalk. he sleeps like a log ahaha he will get grumpy if you wake him up too early for his liking so get ready to see him glaring at you and if he has the energy then his speed rants - he likes horror, gore then cute and fluffy things that reminds him of sheep. for the horror thing, he doesn't get scared of those and instead finds joy in it and ppl's different reaction to it. i can definitely see him judging horror movies and how bad it is ahaha - he has a preference of wearing oversized/loose clothing, esp for the top. it feels freeing and added benefit of hiding his small frame (coz he never really grew due to his unique brain condition. in modern aus i see it mostly casual, shirts then sweater/hoodies). he'd sometimes try to wear footwear that elevates his height (smth similar to what delilah is wearing). he got a little pissed when delilah was taller than him coz of her shoes (coz i see their height listed as no shoes or any headwear whatsoever, just their natural height) - the arrow in his hair is a hairclip. he has tons of them in different colors (like with his different color palettes). he got one for himself then gifted it to delilah so they could match - he can play the piano easily coz to him it's just like math (and this man loves math very much) - if he finds smth cute he likes to take a picture of it or a selfie - a silly hc because of a fic i read and thats just how i interpreted it but yeah. he can drink alcohol and not get drunk easily. dont challenge him in a drinking contest you'll lose ahaha (and dont ask him how he cant get drunk we'll never know) - he can sleep while standing while delilah can sleep with her eyes open - i think he can sing somewhat. he's not a pro or anything but it's still good. this man can do some mean raps with that speedtalk XD - also he sleeps best with his favorite pillow in his arms (like me)

If you can't read the notes, I'll write them here:

terrible eyesight

shoulder length hair (naturally black)

modern hanfu (w/ pockets!)

roots growing in

1 mole below right eye

flower hairclip (gifted by jo)

Chan Lee's appearance in the original show pissed me off; the writers went crazy with the stereotypes (Trope Bingo), I half expected them to make a dog eating joke in the show. Also the way her name is so similar to Chun-Li? Her name is so unnatural and I think I'm gonna go crazy if I talk about it any more.

Anyway here is her character info: Chansheng Li, she/her, 20, pan, 5'2'', chinese.

Since her Bakugan is based off of the Asura in Buddhism, I think it'd be cool if she was Buddhist. I have yet to do research on the Buddhism religion so I won't say anything about that right now.

I know I mentioned martial arts as a negative for Chan, but I really really want Shun and Chan to fight, so I'm gonna have her know martial arts, but I'll have to do the research to make it a well fleshed out character trait, rather than a nebulous "she knows kung fu" kinda trait. Imma have her know Southern Praying Mantis style, which you might also know as Toph Bei Fong's bending style in Avatar: the Last Airbender. I also don't know anything about martial arts, but mark my words, Shun and Chan will fight!

I haven't given much thought on her job but someone who becomes one of the top international players probably don't have a life, so I'm making her a trust fund baby who spends her free time playing Bakugan and gardening.

SO! I've decided to do some more research and rework her character. Chan wears a qi pao in the original show, which is mostly to accentuate her curves. Sexism in Bakugan strikes again. I prefer hanfus anyway, so because I want to maintain the modern and traditional vibe, she's getting a plain button up with a hanfu dress. I wanted to give her a flower motif, and I had initially decided on a peony, but since her surname, 李, means plum, I might change into a plum blossom.

I stole the outfit wholesale from this amazing photo:

Speaking of her name, buckle up because I spent way too long nitpicking different characters for her name.

Chan's name is Chansheng Li. Written as 李婵胜, pronounced lǐ chán shèng (In Chinese, the surname is said first).

李 is a very common surname. I think Li is a more common romanization of the character in mainland China, while Lee used in places that don't really abide by pinyin rules (in Canto speaking places you can also write her name as 李嬋勝). So if you write Chansheng Lee it is also correct!

婵 (chán) is what's known as a "meaningless bound form", which means it doesn't mean a specific word by itself, only when it's paired with other characters. The sign on the left, 女, means girl, so this character is very feminine, and anyone reading this name would know that she's a girl. General vibes mean "graceful" or "lovely".

胜 (shèng) means victory. It's quite a masculine name, but paired with 婵 it provides a nice balance, I think. Due to this, just by hearing her name, you would have no idea that Chan is a woman.

婵胜 (chán shèng) sounds like 常胜 (cháng shèng), which loosely translates to "often suceeds". Chinese parents like naming kids like good luck charms, so I think this is a realistic thing to name Chan.

A fun side note, I had originally considered 嫦 (cháng), which is the same first character as the Chinese moon goddess Chang'e (嫦娥). Funnily enough, 胜 (shèng)'s left character, 月, means moon! Additionally, 嫦's right character, 常, also means "often", which is what I used in the previous point!

With a name as long as Chansheng, some people might shorten it and call her Chan, but I remember the original show only referring her with her full name, and also Chan sounds kinda weird on its own. As such, I will refer to her as Chan, but realistically the characters would call her her full given name.

I'd also like to add a disclaimer that, even though I did my best with research, I'm not very connected to Chinese culture, so please let me know if any of these things are inaccurate (I would love to see sources as well lmao)! Also note that China is a very diverse place, so do not take my characterization of Chan as a representation of the whole country!!

[childofaura]

All right, it seems like I’ve got a lot of understanding and rational people who responded to my earlier inquiry about making a Claire criticism post. So I’m gonna go ahead and do it, since this is something that’s sat in my mind every time a new installment of the ToA series came out.

SO BIG DISCLAIMER BECAUSE I WANT EVERYONE TO READ THIS BEFORE ANYONE GETS MAD AT ME:

THIS IS ALL MY SUBJECTIVE OPINION. I MIGHT BE PHRASING THIS POST LIKE IT’S AN ABSOLUTE, BUT IT’S NOT, IT’S ALL ISSUES I PERSONALLY FEEL WITH CLAIRE’S CHARACTER. SO IF YOU LIKE CLAIRE, THIS IS NOT A PERSONAL ATTACK OR ME TELLING YOU YOU’RE WRONG ABOUT SOMETHING/CAN’T LIKE CLAIRE.

Now that I think I’ve got that out of the way, I wanna jump into the actual post of why I’ve never really liked Claire’s character.

If we’re being really really REALLY honest... I think the issue is mostly based off of “The writers didn’t know how to write Claire”. I’ve felt like every character in Trollhunters (specifically Trollhunters, we don’t talk about 3Below and while Wizards was pretty positive overall, that was also a lot of hit or miss, and that series plays even more into why I don’t like Claire) was executed pretty well to fulfill their roles as characters or to be compelling and pretty easy to grasp their personalities.

Except Claire.

Personality issues:

Her character’s inconsistent and flip-flops. To start off, her intro in the series is just “pretty girl that Jim likes”. We get the promising sense that she has some non-conforming interests at first, as she’s advertising try-outs for the play, but that’s just lifted from the Trollhunters book and we never see any interest in theater arts from Claire ever again after that. Her hair (and I’m sorry but I hate her hair with all the stupid hairclips in the front, it’s so distracting and it looks dumb) with the streak in it and the skull shirt she wears makes you assume she’s somewhat rebellious, maybe kind of punk, but she’s a straight-A trouble-free student who’s apparently popular with everyone, and helps her mom out with campaigning for her political career. There’s really nothing to her personality that shows itself consistently, besides the Papa Skull interest.

And then there’s how badly her character and personality was executed at first; When Steve’s about to beat up Jim, she tries to step in but gets shoved back. Great! She has a sense of right and wrong and she’ll stand up for others. But then later on, she scolds Jim for the crime of... standing up for himself? Which sends a really bad message that she’d have rather had Jim publicly humiliate himself and/or possibly get beat up. Then later she’s willing to go to a Papa Skull concert with the same guy who shoved her. That’s incredibly weak character right there.

She starts to show some more positive character when after getting mad at Jim for trashing the house, she puts two and two together and realizes something’s off, but then she just... sneaks into his house like a weirdo, even though nothing about her character suggests that she’d do something like that and she has no real reason besides “Jim wasn’t straightforward about the party”; it’s not something a normal person would do or what SHE would do given her current character development. And then this one’s a smaller gripe, but I hated her scoff in Wizards when the tournament was going on and the guards didn’t let her in, she goes “Ugh, boys’ club!”. UH HELLO, YOU IDIOT. THERE WERE FEMALE GUARDS CLEARLY EMPLOYED IN ARTHUR’S SERVICE. HELL, THE GUARD THAT BULLAR ATE WAS A FEMALE GUARD. GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE AND STOP PRETENDING LIKE YOU’RE BEING SLIGHTED BECAUSE YOU’RE A GIRL. YOU WERE CONSIDERED A CIVILIAN TRYING TO ENTER A TOURNAMENT FOR TRAINED KNIGHTS.

Now past all the character inconsistencies in those first thirteen-ish episodes, the second issue I have with Claire’s character is that she teeters pretty dangerously into Mary Sue territory. Everyone (I was almost gonna say “who isn’t a major villain” but EVEN MORGANA ends up liking her. So MOSTLY everyone) who isn’t a main antagonist ends up liking Claire in some way. Steve the bully? Tries to date her. Mary, whom she said she wasn’t really close friends with? Is friends with her and even has her number. Freaking VENDEL, the grumpiest character in the show, only has to hear her talk in Troll and he immediately likes her without her having to earn his trust (which also she just... never uses Troll again. Sure is convenient that she learned to speak fluent Troll just for one scene and one character to like her). Morgana takes a liking to her. Compare that to how hard Jim had to work to gain the trust of others: His bond with Draal, learning to prove himself to Vendel, engaging with Nomura in prison and befriending her. She too easily assimilates with other characters; I’d have less issues if she had to work like Jim did, but the only time she does is with NotEnrique.

Skills and abilities don’t feel earned or consistent:

And then the whole thing with her powers and her physical abilities. It was never explained in the show how she actually obtained innate magic powers not connected to the Shadow Staff itself (And no, if you have to explain it on Twitter as a writer, that’s not good writing, that’s forcing your audience to play detective). She’s just all of a sudden doing awfully-convenient high-level magic in the first two episodes (or maybe three, whenever she created that shadow-cover for Jim and the others to escape.) without explaining HOW she had got those powers, and then she performs it perfectly whenever the plot needs it (She’s literally shown to be more powerful than Merlin, how stupid is that?). Remember in the movie where everyone was like “Oh no Claire, don’t use your powers because it could hurt you!” and she does anyways and she faints for like three seconds and then has no other physical repercussions? Or how she’s somehow MORE capable than Jim when it comes to fighting, like how in the Chinese Trollmarket she manages to swipe one of the other troll’s weapons, which has an entirely different weight and size to her shadow staff and probably required extensive training, and she just uses it flawlessly to fight? The only times Claire really fails are when the plot calls for it.

Plot can’t happen without her:

And finally, she hijacks the plot constantly, more than her character should, and has more importance placed on her role in the story than anyone else. Even Blinky. She even took over the plot for Wizards, which was supposed to be Douxie’s story and Douxie’s character-focus. The poor guy took a backseat to his own story because the plot relied on Claire to move forward, literally nothing could be done without her. And I mentioned it before but even though Douxie’s character still managed to get enough development, it was hardly enough because Claire hogged up so much screen-time focusing on HER and HER magic development and HER relationship with Morgana over Douxie and HIS magic development and HIS relationship with Merlin.

And also the fact that it’s Claire who ends up either saving the day or taking priority over the others. Who was the one who defeated Morgana in Trollhunters? Claire. Who brought Jim back to life as a human, despite the fact that even Merlin stated it was impossible for him to make Jim a human again? Claire. Who was it that Jim made sure to establish his relationship with, but not anyone else? CLAIRE. That ending in the movie where he doesn’t seem to care about his relationship with Blinky, Draal, Strickler, etc, but oh we’ve GOTTA have his girlfriend!

Overall, even typing this, I don’t think it’s her fault even though I hate her character; it’s the writers’ fault for doing such a sloppy and inconsistent job because she’s boiled down to just a “girl empowerment”. Because in the book, Claire Fontaine is AWESOME. She’s a Scot descended from a warrior lineage which actually explains why she has weapon capabilities, she’s explained that she’s not really a “popular girl” but she’s super confident in herself and doesn’t really care what others think, and that’s what Jim finds charming about her, and she rips Steve a new one after hearing that he’s just trying to charm her to piss off Jim.

But Claire Nunez is a mess of a poorly executed character. And again, I blame the writers because I think Claire could have been great if they knew what they were doing with her and made her balanced.

Soundless AAA: It's CGs. (And more)

Tip: You can get posts like this sent directly to your e-mail by subscribing to the Substack!

Hello, happy Sunday, how are you? Progress has been very steady, even with the fact that I’ve also been working. I wasn’t able to reach the “best goal” of having the opening done by today, but it’s definitely coming this week.

First, let’s take a look at the completed version of the Auma approaching Mercy CG.

Nice and afternoon-y, huh? I took a lot of cues from SayoOshi for the coloring here.

Additionally, I’m in the process of refining two CG sketches.

The first one is the one where Mercy approaches Delilah in the fields. I’m drawing this one at double the size because the original had (very pixelated) close-ups. You can see in the corner that I’ve written a 20. That’s for “20 degrees”, the angle the shot is at.

The other one is the Auma and Nyn reveal. I’ll be retaining the original angle to make it feel kind of like they’re “above” the crowd, but before I do that I have to draw the piece at a neutral 0 degree angle. This is so that things don’t look too wonky. I also draw much more than what’s actually shown so it looks “right”.

There are a lot of moving parts to this CG. Under normal circumstances, this would’ve been one of the last ones to be completed due to its complexity, but because it flashes in the opening it’s this high up in the queue. The good news is that once it’s done, it’s out of the way.

I actually had to go back and look at the original CG for this. Those two people in the back are Delilah’s father, the Expulsive priest, and the Barrier priestess that Mercy runs into at the start of the story. I don’t think I’ve ever publicly shown this part of the CG with the crowd/twins/Head Priest layers hidden. So, here it is—now you can see what Delilah’s dad looks like.

The Barrier priestess is pretty cute, huh? Her hairclip is my favorite part. It’s a shame this is the only time she ever shows up visually.

Also…

Here’s some screencaps of the updated art version of the opening straight from AfterEffects! I was able to plug in things that were already finished and it looks pretty cool!

Silly Hermione Harvey Granger headcanons!

Transmasc (Took him a while to figure out but got there in the end <3 saving up for surgery, unless he can find a spell first).

Speaks english, french and some broken spanish.

Impulsively cut his hair short but liked it more when it was long, so he's waiting for it to grow back.

His butterfly hairclip flutters and moves via a simple animation spell.

Cat person, loves cats of all colors, shapes and sizes (exept Ms Norris, the little bitch).

Had a crush on Ron since 3rd year (it started when Ron was willing to stand on a broken leg, IN FRONT OF A MASS MURDERER, to protect his friends. Seeing his determination and courage is what made Harvey go "oh... oh damn he kinda hot actually...").

Listens to music while studying, favourite artists are Cavetown, Mother mother and a bunch of other, randomly selected songs (like "Sweet tooth" by Scott Helman).

Has a steam account, rarely plays because he spends most of his free time studying (it's basically all puzzles/escape room games).

Crookshanks sleeps on his face like a eyemask.

Ranted to Moaning Myrtle and Ginny about how jealous he was when Ron was dating Lavender.

Loves violet flavoured candies.

Big seafood fan, his dream house would be next to the ocean, where he can catch his own food and listen to the soothing noise of the waves.

ambidextrous.

Has autism and OCD.

Stims a lot when anxious or really happy.

moonbeam arcadia consists of mafuyu, ichika, toya, and haruka. in this universe, ichika never got the chance to reconnect with honami and shiho despite her and saki's best efforts (this is also mainly why saki decided to team up with emu in momoiro parfaits (another swap unit) og duo.) she becomes more and more disconnected from her peers, only focusing on her schoolwork and saki (occasionally). she still makes music and listens to miku in her free time, though. mafuyu stays the same. haruka after suffering from severe stage fright decides to quit being an idol and her fear starts developing even further, slowly but surely becoming agoraphobia. even when she met minori, haruka felt like she could never be seen as a proper idol in the eyes of her fans and her friends again. haruka turned to making music and uploading it to a nightcord music server anonymously to help her speak the things she's too scared to say. toya has the same story, but he never got the support and validation that vbs and akito gave him. coincidentally, ichika (1) owned the nightcord music server that all of the other members were in. ichika really liked haruka's (penguin) usage of vocaloids in her songs, so she invited haruka to make songs with her and teach her how to tune miku. touya (bluewillow) also enjoyed haruka and ichikas music and started making piano covers of the songs, drawing the others' attention. at the same time, mafuyu (yuki) was also making songs of her own and uploading them, and ichika (1) also invited her to the music circle (in a separate server. ichikas server name was also something miku related because i have to keep the girlflop in there. they make electropop music and the starter vocaloids are kaito and miku. their sekai is an underground metro station. there are shops littered around it, and you can get on the train to travel to another station. if you take the second train and drop by the 3rd station, the 4th shop to your right is a shop that sells your memories. a bottle of moonlight from that night, all the pens you've lent someone but never got back. and the cashier is no other than yourself, or rather, another version of yourself. ichika sees herself in the main storyline where they formed leo/need, toya sees himself in the main storyline where they formed VBS and haruka sees herself in the main storyline where they formed MMJ. mafuyu sees her past self. there's also a ramen shop and ice cream shop as well as vending machines. and a 7/11. and everything and anything you need. miku is laid-back and doesn't talk much, but she cares a lot for moonbeam arcadia's members and tries her best to help them. her hair is its original color but fades to dark blue at the ends. she has headphones that light up whenever she uses them (gamer headphones) and a tetris t-piece hairclip (don't ask). she wears an oversized jacket over a black crop top and loose high-waisted jeans. she also wears black converses with a white heartbeat pattern embroidered on top. she can often be found at the station arcade playing tetris 99 or beating the shit out of the maimai machine. she chews gum and has a seemingly endless supply of blueberry gum always on her. kaito wears a sleeveless hoodie and black arm coverings (think: mafuyu zozotown gloves). his hoodie has a little screen on it that changes based on what he's currently feeling (it changes to an angry face when he's pissed, sad face when he's sad, etc.) so even if he tries to lie about his emotions, he can't. his pants have a shit ton of pockets on them and has chains attached (think techwear). he also wears ankle high sneakers. kaito is less expressive than miku but is quick to anger, and any emotion, really. he tries his best to help moonbeam arcadia...but these don't end well sometimes. SOMETIMES. he's trying his best, okay.

miku got headphones for her and kaito but accidentally ordered kaito cat ear headphones and hes too embarrassed to wear them, but he still wears them in secret because as embarrassing as light-up cat ear gamer headphones are, theyre really high quality with good noise canceling. miku has a picture she snapped of him in secret wearing the headphones. he would EXPLODE if the others saw (they have, they're just sworn to secrecy). miku uses the picture as blackmail sometimes to get kaito to buy her free stuff sometimes.

kaito tried to beat miku in tetris 99 once and failed miserably. the only person that has been able to beat miku in tetris is toya and she has sworn herself to beating him someday. mafuyu also plays and is nearly as good as miku, but nowhere as good as toya.

miku tried the "dipping ice cream in ramen" trend once and kaito is trying his best to not get violent. he's shaking and so fucking close to combusting while miku is enjoying the ramen and trying to get ichika to try it. he tries to stop ichika from trying it but doesn't get there quick enough. and to his surprise and devastation, ichika enjoys the ice cream ramen.

once luka arrives at the sekai, she immediately catches air about kaito's cat headphones (somehow.) she proceeds to get him a whole cat set with ears and a tail and everything. like the cyber cat kaito module. kaito is FUMING. face is RED and theres SMOKE coming out of his ears. hes so mad the emotion screen is going to catch on fire with how much it's overheating. kailuka chase ensues through the station.

kaito has started to hide but luka keeps finding him and dragging him back to the main station. every time. he has started to check his clothes for hidden trackers because how the heck can she find him Every Single Time like that.

even more chaos will ensue once meiko appears, or at least that's what kaito thinks. meiko actually manages to calm down luka's shenanigans by occupying her time (thank god.) but kaito has to admit, he misses luka's constant pranking.

i do the same thing in sl lol. are you using a mesh body? my avi uses the kemono body which i like the look of but has limited clothing/accesory options bc of its different shape + not being widely used. your helmet is really cool, where did you get it? (or if you made it yourself, have you got a marketplace store?)

hi! yea, i love using SL as my weird little dollmaker sandbox with any and every little item i can get my grubby hands on!! I don't like paying money for games I don't spend a considerable amount of time playing, so my avi is actually 100% free and a result of months of digital dumpster-diving. i find it fun, but it's... admittedly very difficult to play this way.

i use magnum yoshikawa's 4.x anime body, which is found here in Kowloon. that said, some of the other products in the store give off a Not The Best Vibe, so i guess beware of that. generally i hide most of the body itself and use clothes to give my avatar more of a Shape, because AB4.x is pretty niche and also doesn't look that good on its own lol. i also like to change the leg textures/colors to make the illusion of leggings, shown in this older version of my avi:

the space helmet is from here! i edited it to make some of the weirder looking bits invisible, along with changing the colors of course :-) the star/hairclip decos are from a plethora of ingame store/group gifts that i don't remember off the top of my head, but I know a few (mainly the moon hairclip) are from a giftbox in Conejo Island, though i don't really frequent that place anymore. The cord object in the back is just some custom flexi-prims
