Chilcille huh... ngl I was a little suspicious. like why would you do that, huh... hope youre not mischaracterizing anyone in your weird and wacky ship. a little weird. but then you said they both had flat asses and you know what? I salute you and your perfect characterization
The fact you seem to think you managed to not make this ask insulting is baffling. What the hell. Fuck off.
If you actually care to be open minded about the ship, I talk about marchil on my sideblog 24/7. Funnily enough I’m currently 4k words deep into an analysis of their character arc together in canon, but that’ll take some more days to get done. Some notable posts:
Of course without counting the analyses of Chilchuck on his own I’ve made, like my masterpost on his family situation. Or better yet you could also read my fics for them, see how weird and wacky they are here.
Wanna talk about mischaracterisation? They’re literally a comedic duo who interacts 24/7. Marchil is crazy bc ppl are like "did those shipper read with their eyes CLOSED?? They have no chemistry!" Meanwhile canon is like: "She’s obsessed with knowing everything she can about him and she reads him like a book." In her eyes he’s like that extra rare and hard and shiny unlockable dating sim character, that brooding mysterious character trope that’s thrilling to crack open and typically is at the center of the plot. The wife roleplay???? "Hey, did you know his type is blondes. Hey did you know he likes his women pretty and blonde. Hey did you know he likes her hair. Hey did you know that he teases her 24/7 and it’s one of the few things that consistently gets him grinning because he finds her reactions cute." Like a schoolyard bully pulling on the pigtails of the girl he likes.

It’s not like they have any thematic narratives or relevance. It’s not like she’ll live to 1000 and has existential dread about it while he’s logically gonna be her next friend to die at 50 and wether it’s romantic or platonic it’ll terrify her to lose him. It’s not like it’s fear of death x fear of rejection so they’re both obsessed with the thought of loss looming, past and ongoing. It’s not like it’s half-elf x half-foot and there’s an inherent journey that was and still is to dispel prejudices and truly come to see each other. It’s not like he’s painfully real and raw and flawed but still a good man, that he’s not the figure of prince charming that she’s always dreamed of while still being virtuous and worth fighting for. Or you know, her hair being golden and it being the epitome of beauty to him, and his hair turning silver and it being Marcille’s worst nightmare.
Just a weird wacky ship who means nothing but shallow things to people who have weirdo reasons for liking it. Like can you not. If you’re not imaginative enough to think of reasons why this ship may have an appealing dynamic that’s not my issue. But yes, yes, they’re both flat asses to me, thanks.

Tumblr media
Just a collection of things they do and say in bed...
Tumblr media
Characters: Masato Aizawa, Akira Nishikiyama(x2), Reina| GN! Reader*
Rating: 18+
Part: 1 of ∞
A/N: Just some nsfw headcanons I have that you might have picked up on from reading my stuff or has not yet showed up. I'm hoping to make it an ongoing series bc I have so many nsfw ideas but I don't always wanna write like, a whole thing over it, ya know? I'm just gonna start with my top 3 faves and see how it does. Then over time I'll do other characters (or add more to ones I've already done 😌) Links will be to existing ATOZs. *I did my best to make this gender neutral but I won't lie, Lesbian coded Reina is lesbian coded…
Warning: Mean, nasty evil fish and his body fluid generosity...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
MASATO AIZAWA
-Will find some way or another to hold your hands majority of the time. Sometimes, he pins them at your side or above your head. Other times, he’ll entangle his fingers with yours and cross your hands beneath your head, leaving you to rest against his forearms and yours as a pillow.
-Finds it impossible to keep his lips away from you and when he can’t kiss you, he’s pecking against your skin– whatever is closest.
-Whispers filth in Portuguese. It’s worse if you understand him and if you don’t, he may or may not translate later. Just know when that tongue slips, he’s whispering all the salacious thoughts that've been floating in his mind since before he even buried himself inside you.
-Doesn’t even realize that he’s doing it, it just happens. Usually when he’s the furthest gone, like when he’s close for example.
-Calls you terms of endearment like ‘amor’ and ‘amorzihno’.
-Lots of heavy lidded eye contact. His bedroom eyes are smoldering.
-Checks in to make sure you’re doing alright, if he’s gentle enough, if you’re wanting him to do anything differently.
-Often brings your hands or fingertips to his lips. Lots of soft little chu, chu, chu pecks. He may even smile a bit when he does it.
-If you’re giving him a handjob, he places his hands above yours and guides you to the pace and grip he needs.
-He loves just taking you in, either with his eyes or by carefully running his rough hands along your body. He often caresses the places he notices you tend to hide from him. It’s his way of reminding you that he loves every part of you, even the parts you don’t like yourself.
-In the beginning, when you were new to sleeping together and he wasn’t not familiar with what you could handle or not, he went at your pace. He wouldn’t give you all of him until he gets the greenlight to do so. Even if it’s killing him to hold back, he really doesn’t want to hurt you.
-If you're too close to the wall or headboard, he’ll either gently pull you down or he’ll cover the crown of your head with his hands to absorb the thumps.
- “O-oh, wait… Not yet. D-don’t– I don’t wanna cum yet.”
- “Hah, you… feel so good. C’mon, touch me. I’m all yours.”
- “Please, it’s not that big, amor. You’re just tight.” (He’s massive but go off, king.)
- A soft smile is lifting the corners of his lips, “So precious…”
- “I don’t mind. I like it when you’re greedy. Mm, I’ll give you as much as you can take.”
- “I’wanna c-cum inside of you… Can I? Agh, fuck– Okay,” Kisses you as he ramps up his thrusting.
- “Not ready to pull out just yet, amor… So warm.” 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
REINA
- One of her tells to determine if she’s horny (because she won’t just tell you that) is when her ears are red and she’s stroking at her neck, twisting the hair at her nape or fiddling with her necklace. It’s meant to be self soothing but…
- Funnily enough, her decollete area is perhaps her most sensitive. It doesn’t take too much stimulation there before her back is arching into you and her hips are winding.
- Her moaning voice is pretty. Deep and breathy. She’s got a bad habit of covering her mouth so that you don’t take her to be ‘too noisy’ – whatever that means, Reina...
- She has the definition of WAP.
- She is sort of a pillow princess.
- Knows what she likes but is too embarrassed to just take charge sometimes. This resulted in her having partners in the past that never made her cum. With enough encouragement, she gets better about this.
- She also gets embarrassed by the fact that she squirts… with the right stimulation. 
- Two words: Magic Wand.
- If you thought she was beautiful before, you’ll be breathless when you see her cum for the first time– and everytime after that to be honest. She’s just so ethereal when she’s all blissed out.
- If she’s horny enough to forget her shame in going after what she wants, she would sometimes ride your thigh until she’s doubled over, panting and damn near clawing your skin off from how hard her grip gets. 
- She’s been so neglected before you that once you get her high, she’s practically drunk on you forever.
- So, so much hair flipping to keep hers out of her face.
- Invitations to soak in the bath with her are a ploy, she will have you getting her off with her favorite shower head setting. She’s a crafty woman. 
- “I need you, darling. Please.”
- “I’m such a mess. Hah, it’s all your fault.”
- “Come, you’re not nearly close enough.”
- She doesn’t curse often but when she does, you likely have something to do with it. “F-Fuck, I love your tongue.”
- She’s clinging on to you tightly, “Cum with me. Cum with me! Oh please, cum with me!”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
AKIRA NISHIKIYAMA (Y0)
- He does alot of smiling and smirking at you because your sounds and expressions are amusing to him.
- Unless you swat him off, he’s leaving hickeys all over you. Don’t worry, he’ll be sure not to leave anything you can’t hide easily.
- Fingering you while he’s already got his dick inside of you is like… his thing. 
- Has a habit of echoing the sounds you make or the things you say as a way of teasing/bullying you. 
- He chuckles, “ ‘Mm’? Yeah? Feels that good, huh?” His smile deepens, “ ‘Mm, yes~’ Listen to yourself. You’re loving this, aren’t you? Haa, fuck. Fuck, you’re so cute.”
- Very proud of his long ass tongue and the tricks it can do, so he won’t miss an opportunity to go down on you.
- Will tongue you DOWN through your underwear.
- He'll take your arms and drape them over his shoulders if he feels you’re not being affectionate enough.
- Runs his hands through his hair alot to keep it out of his face. He gets really annoyed by it when it falls in front of his eyes and obstructs his view of you. He’ll steal your hair clip or hair tie to pull it back after a while if you’ve got one on.
- Often buries his nails into your thighs when he’s having a taste of you.
- He’s taking your hand to guide you over him, “Have a seat… Mhmm, sit, babe. You’re not gonna hurt me.” He chuckles. “Promise, I can handle it.”
- He really loves it hairy. Sure, you can keep it trimmed and all but he will be (playfully) mad at you if you get rid of all of it.
- He frowns just after pulling your underwear down, “Uh, babe? I thought you promised not to do more than a trim? The hell– No, it’s all gone.” He rolls his eyes at you. “Ugh, you’re so fucking hardheaded.” (Edges you a bit as punishment for breaking your promise.)
- “No one knows your body like I do, right? No, say it.” 
- “Who’s making you feel so good right now? Mm, fuck. Again. Say it again, babe.”
- “So pretty… It’s okay, you can cum again. I know. Let me hear you.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
AKIRA NISHIKIYAMA (K)
- When he’s caressing your skin, he has a habit of lightly scraping it with his nails. When he’s really into it, he often burrows them into you deep enough to leave welts.
- Not just his nails, he digs his fingers into you too– like, your hips for example, gripping them tight enough to bruise as he pulls you down to meet his thrusts. 
-He’s filthy, downright disgusting sometimes.
-He would spit in your mouth then use it as ’additional lube’ when he fucks your face.
- So, so much slapping. He’ll slap you across the face. He’ll slap at your chest. He’ll slap you across the ass. He’ll slap your thighs. If you slap him back, well… have fun with that.
- When he leaves hickeys, he wants them to be somewhere that you can’t hide them. He’ll simply laugh when you express your annoyance with him being territorial after the fact, hardly taking you seriously.
- “You knew what I was doing when you were grinding against me and whining. You should’ve stopped it then.” He chuckles as he palms the back of your head before pressing a chaste kiss to your crown. “No use in complaining now.”
- Has a private collection of raunchy photos of you in compromising positions that he would literally kill someone over if they ever laid an eye on them.
- When he goes down on you, it’s as much of a stress reliever for him as it is for you– That is to say, he won’t be pried away until he’s had his fill. He doesn’t really care if you’re ‘too sensitive’ to take anymore.
- Would eat your ass too if he’s feeling horny enough. There’s not really a part of you that he can’t imagine not running his absurdly long tongue over.
- Tongue kissing him includes lots of sucking, slurping and biting- not nibbling, biting.
- Instead of asking for a kiss, he’ll simply press your cheeks with his fingers hard enough to make them pucker and steal one or ten.
- He’s putting your hand on your crotch, “Now, show me how you touch yourself when I’m away…” Eventually this would turn into a mutual masturbation session.
- “Let it out. Who are you holding back for? Let me fucking hear you.”
- “Oh? Does it hurt? Funny, it’s supposed to.” He smirks, but he does lighten up a bit. (Fake hardass is fake.)
- “Maybe I could be nicer if you showed me why you deserve it.”
- “Open…”  He spits into your mouth, “Stay just like that– don’t swallow… Oh, you’re disgusting. Ha, I fucking love you.”

Hi! I want to start off with saying I love your blog and it was this blog that introduced me to a new side of the Bleach fandom, so I owe you a huge thanks for that. My question pretains to when you mentioned that you read a lot of fics where Byakuya was there when his father died in the lines of duty, and I was wondering if you could recommend those fics and any other byakuya centric ones.
You're very welcome! I am always excited see new people in the fandom, especially here on Tumblr.
I want to preface this with saying that I have kind of a complicated relationship with Byakuya. He is an interesting, complex character and I like to read fanfic about him, but I hesitate to call myself a fan. I'm mostly interested in his character as it stands in relation to Rukia and Renji. I like stories where he is shitty and causes problems. I like reading about the long, horrible history of the Kuchiki clan, and how much it screws a person up to be raised in that mess. I also just like stories that make fun of him a bit. He's a deeply strange person, and I love his weird, dry sense of humor. Byakuya-shipping usually falls flat for me: I think he's mostly ace, except for the time he fell in love with his wife, and even then, I only really like Byahisa stories where the author has done something creative with who she is and I also need her to drag his ass a little. I would swipe left on him. So, anyway, take these recommendations (and the absence of ones I have missed) with that grain of salt.
The fanfic I was specifically referring to regarding Soujun dying after a mission he and Byakuya were on together was the Rise & Ruin series by @afinepiece, specifically part 2, An Education. It's a...little-bit-AUish precanon fic where Hisana is a thief who ends up getting tangled up in the Kuchiki family after she attempts to steal a painting from them. If you're looking for Byakuya fanfic, AFP is always going to be my first recommendation, especially her Thin Red Line series. Her works are always sprawling and genre-defying, but beautifully crafted. They've got noble/family drama, intricate world-building detail, and great character writing. The Kuchiki family deserves epics, and that is what AFP is out here doing.
Funnily enough, my other favorite ByaHisa writer is all the way at the other end of the writing spectrum. @thegreenfaery. She works in the AU space, and if you enjoy Byakuya Going Thru It but also being in love with his beautiful wife. I'm biased, because she wrote it for me, but The Wedding Party is my fave of her works (80's/everyone's human AU where Hisana has to rent out part of Byakuya's house for her little sister's dirtbag wedding).
If you like Byakuya in his gothic horror era, please read dogviolet by @renjirukia. It's a closer examination of some canon between-scenes during Byakuya and Rukia's Bad Times period.
I think @lucymonster is one of the best Byakuya character writers out there, and Metaesthesia is one of the best fanfics I've ever read. It's a Byakuya - Renji bodyswap, but not in a fun way. You should really only read it if you're in the mood to have your heart kicked down the stairs. I also really like Sticks and Stones and Building Bridges. Note: Most of her works are ByaRen (these are not, at least not explicitly). That's not a ship I am normally fond of, but I get, like 3 weird days a year where I can read it.
Speaking of ByaRen, if you are into it, the other ByaRen writer I like a lot is @grizmelder, who is also a very nice person. I particularly enjoyed Heart Tangled, which is a historical AU set at the end of the samurai era, where Renji is Byakuya's bodyguard.
I was just talking about Lull the other day, but it's a lovely little fanfic by Branch about the relationship between Byakuya and Rukia and sometimes Renji. It's an older fanfic and breaks off from canon after the Soul Society arc, so you can think of it as sort of an alternate idea for how Soul Society rebuilds after Aizen's betrayal.
The Journal of Kuchiki Byakuya by @saranel is a great little fic in the form of young Byakuya writing diary entries about his life, in particular, his dealings with Yoruichi and Urahara. It's really cute in general, but in particular, I love the way it portrays Byakuya's interest in photography.
I also have a soft spot for Breaking to Bridle by Vivienne Grainger, which is about how Byakuya sees Renji, both as lieutenant and eventually as suitor for his sister.
I guess I would be remiss if I didn't mention my favorite crack Byakuya fic, which is Become a Ghost by @hardlyfatal. Orihime dies and goes to Soul Society and becomes a therapist and falls in love with Byakuya. It's pretty silly but also a lot of fun, and it's chock full of Byakuya being Byakuya.
I hope you find something you like in there! Like I said, I am not the world's best Byakuya fan (probably in the top ten worst Byakuya fans tbh) but these are some that I have enjoyed and have stuck with me!

Do you have head canons for how the different gods laugh?
(Besides Hermes lmao, his bird laugh is as iconic as it is well known💀)
Love your blog!
ABSOLUTELY! Decided to throw in everyone from god games as well as Hades, so this got a lil longer than expected lol. I always love doing these, & the gods are such fun characters that I’m dying to see more of! & of course I bully my faves
& Hermes is so iconic, I love his shrill cackle, that man loves a good laugh & never really holds back!
We also kinda got a canon laugh from Calypso when she giggles right after saying goddesses can’t die. I think she has a very light & airy laugh, almost like the twinkling of a bell. Very cute & feminine
Likewise, we heard a bit of what Aeolus sounds like, but that’s more of a snide, condescending laugh that she likes to use when toying with someone. Her more genuine laugh is higher pitched & more of a giggle
For everyone else, I’m going off of pure vibes
I think Athena tries not to laugh because she has a badass image to maintain, & tbh most of the other gods aren’t that funny, or at least they don’t appeal to her sense of humor. She likes more clever & dry witty comedy, which is probably why Ody’s jokes work well on her. He likes to use a lot of fun word play & his timing & physical comedy is just perfect, & catches her off guard enough to draw out a real laugh. She laughs with her full chest, it’s loud & is honestly such a bright, happy sound, probably because it’s so rare to hear. Much to her chagrin, she snorts when she laughs hard enough. When she’s trying to mask her laugh it gets quicker & higher pitched, & she usually tries to muffle it behind her hand
Apollo’s laugh is pretty similar to Hermes, but it’s a bit deeper & not as erratic & sounds like he has more control over his voice. Idk it probably sounds so pretty & smooth, almost like his laugh alone is a song & more than a few gods accuse him of faking it because it just sounds a lil too “perfect.” If you really get him going tho it does tend to take on a more unhinged & frantic pitch, & it gets real hard to tell the difference between the 2
I just know Hephaestus has a really deep & rich laugh, but he doesn’t laugh often. He’s pretty serious & he doesn’t always get every joke tossed his way, but when he does, it’s this really deep, amused chuckle that slowly gets louder the longer he laughs
Aphrodite has the prettiest laugh, it’s not as high pitched as you’d expect from her & almost has a purr to it, but that could just be her infectious, bubbly giggles
So uh, I love Ares way more than I was expecting to from his part in gg & I’m gonna simp for a sec cause I can. But Ares actually loves to have a good time & let loose! His version of that may look a lil more bloody, but he still enjoys a good time! He can still laugh & tell jokes! So I think he wouldn’t bother holding back & just belts out this deep belly laugh that can make you jump if you’re not expecting it. Funnily enough, I think he also would snort a lot when laughing, so maybe it’s a war god thing lmaoooo. He’s also prone to laugh when he’s sparring or in the middle of a fight, & that’s more of a different sound. He gets this crazed look in his eye & his laugh raises an octave & gets a lil faster until it’s this really menacing, crazed cackling that is just as scary as it is endearing
Hera doesn’t laugh as much as she used to, but when she does, it’s this sly sounding, amused chuckle. Even when she’s being sincere, it lowkey sounds like she’s making fun of you. If something actually gets her going, she’ll throw her head back & her laugh actually sounds authentic, but it still has a more smooth, controlled tone much like Apollo
Now for the big 3
Hades doesn’t laugh much, obvi, but when he does, it’s this really low rumbling from deep within his chest, & you don’t really think he’s laughing until you see his shoulders shaking & notice the smile beneath his beard. But it something’s legit funny, he’ll let out this hearty laugh & lean back & will either hug his stomach or slap a knee
Oh Poseidon, you’re gonna fucking hate me for this. But he usually has this calm, really snide snicker/chuckle he does when he’s mocking someone which is like all the time. It’s such a smug sound you just want to slap the shit outta him because it’s so obvious he’s laughing at YOU! But his real laugh has a rich tenor to it, & is way louder than he’d like. & if something really gets him laughing, it starts to get higher pitched before it starts to morph into more of a bubbly, gurgling sound until it sounds like he’s laughing underwater
It’s no surprise that the thunder bringer himself has a downright booming laugh that can shake the heavens themselves if he really lets himself go, but much like his bitch of a brother, he only really does that if he’s laughing at someone. Otherwise, it’s still really deep & loud, it just doesn’t have as much bass to it. If you listen for it, you can hear claps of thunder when he lets out unbridled belly laughs, & when he’s just chuckling you can hear a buzzing static sound like lightning

PLEASE tell us your thoughts on Anne Maria
clarification: i have not watched all the way through roti. these opinions and headcanons are subject to change. also this is really long because i just went fuckin. insane about this character based off jersey shore, a show ive never watched.
i think she's very fun and i don't like how the show treats her as like, an antagonist or obstacle to zoke or enemy to zoey whatever when at most she's a little harsh or snippy sometimes. like overall anne maria is a good person who cares about her teammates. she just doesn't take people's shit!
also she has some of the best lines and line deliveries. "brick may not be attractive in any way, but he is still a PERSON." & her freaking out about "only having like 15 seconds to live or something" and immediately calming down and filing her nails as soon as cameron said it was 15 minutes. she's just so charming and fun to watch. i also like that when she's annoyed with people she'll just spray chemicals directly into their lungs and eyes.
as for headcanons this might be kinda sparse because im only just starting out on my insane ideas about the roti cast but i have some stuff
full name: anne maria bonaventura-ortiz (she's mixed chilean/italian) i kind of want to name her dad giuseppe also. it's a fun name
for now i hc her as an only child but that may change. she kinda strikes me as an older-sister type, so maybe she's got a couple of younger cousins or a little sister.
i also think anne maria would really like those memes with the cats doing dumb faces. like bingus and shit i think shed lose her mind laughing at them. idk why this is just my ideas.
once again this is just me lamenting over the contestant profiles but i think her loving romance movies is fun. considering one of her faves is a reference to titanic maybe her and duncan could have an interesting discussion about the musical chops of celine dion.... also her last day on earth plan is very sweet and funnily enough quite similar to zoeys. i really do feel there was potential for a friendship arc there but whatever. Whatever fuck everything i guess.
ok last little thing. i love her little smile here when svetlana starts fronting. i think theyre good pals :)

Hello! So I saw your post about twst ocs, I was wondering which design I should go for with a Georgette oc. I haven’t got a name yet but I’m sure I’ll figure it out! Some hcs I have for this character are as follows:
1. She tends to hide her more beast man features, like with smiling she rarely ever shows her teeth.
2. He doesn’t show any birth or beauty marks on his body. If there are any he’ll cover it up with makeup or his hair.
3. SHE IS A PEFECTIONIST. That much should be obvious. But it’s to the point she literally tries to do everything perfectly. From her writing to her grades but ESPECIALLY when it comes to her appearance.
4. He’s not a model per say but he’s been in a ton of beauty pageants. Hence getting the nickname and title of “Showgirl”, this is also kinda where the perfectionism and value in beauty came from. Because my guy is a gifted child. And he wants to avoid burn out at all costs.
5. Funnily enough as a continuation of the last hc, this sort of expectation wasn’t even placed on her by her parents or family. She became used to being the best when it came to talent shows or beauty contests. So as such she does her absolute best to maintain the image she made for herself. It definitely isn’t easy, but it’s her. Or at least that’s what she consistently tells herself.
Now below are picrews I’ve made on what the character could look like, the first one is my attempt at the most accurate to the character he’s based on.
Tumblr media
Second is more loosely based but more of a “What would this character be like as a human” look
Tumblr media
And finally, my own personal interpretation of what she could look like. (And by far my favorite of the designs)
Tumblr media
oooooo what fun!!!!! Thank you for responding?? Genuinely wasn't expecting that lmao!
I have to agree, that last one is a big fave.
I feel like massive luxurious hair is a must. And boas and fluff wherever possible. Georgie definitely loves bows. Probably a "You van never have too many bows" type, y'feel???

Hii Do you have a fave Janeway out-of-uniform look?
Ohh this is such a hard choice! There are so many reasons I like her out of uniform-- A lot of the time it's because we get to see who she is behind the veil. That couldn't be more apparent than in Resolutions, she flirts, explores and relaxes while she struggles to maintain her identity. She has like, 5 costume changes in that episode, albeit modest in design, they are quite revealing in a sub-textual way. Funnily enough, I actually would like to catalogue each time she is out of uniform and break down how it relates to the narrative etc. I sometimes ponder about the choices that have been made with hair and costume. We don't actually know much besides a few articles and scattered pieces of media--Most behind the scene information is about set design, which in it's own right is cool, but sometimes feels like it’s highlighted due to the male audience and as a result the other artists aren't valued enough. In theory, I'd like to uplift them because their efforts transform the lack frontal, narrative-body of some characters- we consequently learn things such as the fashion of the era, character’s states of mind, setting, etc, simply through what they are wearing– Do I dislike that? No. Because I understand the format of Star Trek is limited by the nature of being a 24 episode per season show. Sometimes things appear rushed or incomplete but if you look in the right direction, the work that was produced is just as rich as most shows, if not more. For the most part don’t think audiences appreciate the conditions that this show was made under.
The whole show has certainly been more impactful on the cultural zeitgeist than others and I think the reason for that success goes beyond the surface level- It’s not just a simple miracle that it works as well as it does, talented teams of actors, writers and people in costume all combined their skills together to forge it. They did the best they could with what they were given, and I appreciate the costume designers and writers for attempting to provide some semblance of substance in the background. (On another note I wish Paramount had archived their costumes better. Evil that we only get high resolution photography when they're selling them to someone's private collection)

However, to answer your actual question, my favourite out of uniform stint is when Captain Janeway is modified to look like a Klingon in the Killing Game! The disguise worked so well for me that I didn't recognise her on my first watch through.
Interestingly in the brief scene with brainwashed Janeway, we see an acting side of Kate's that is pretty rare. She delivered a unique and entertaining performance. While she has had to get physical on a few occasions as Janeway, and even other roles, she has never had to go full feral mode and I love seeing her in a way that is untethered from all of herself, she yells, bares her teeth, barrels into others, and does somersaults without hesitation. It's delightful choreography, and It immediately makes us question what is going on. Who is this? Can’t possibly be our well-adjusted hero, because whoever this is, is brazenly-fierce and in Klingon attire! But yes we find out it is indeed her, arguably a repressed version of her mind but regardless Janeway is completely transformed both physically and mentally, and that’s shockingly fun. 
Lending to that idea of fun, is the juxtaposingly detailed presentation of the Klingon costume versus the Starfleet uniform. I love the overall shapes, matte qualities contrasting with the metal details, the decorative line-work that leads the eye around, and materials such as swinging chains and fur, that make it look good in motion. From what I’ve seen there is a difference in the female and male armour, with the breast plating and bodice design. The armour’s bulky top half with its shoulder pads deliver a signature look, and it looks great against the simplified bottom. Considering Klingon’s do a lot of close combat, my guess is that it’s design is more about manoeuvrability, and boasting intimidation, rather than heavy defence. Ironically after all that ducking and dodging, ho ho Janeway gets stabbed for leaving her guard down. If I looked, I am sure I could find something to back that up, since Klingons have extremely dedicated lore. 
The makeup on Janeway is really neat too, the orange tones they used on her face make her crystalline eye colour dramatically pop. There is also a delicious parallel to her styling and B'Elanna's mother from Barge of the Dead in the episode that I quietly indulge in BUT I DIGRESS.
Despite the unusual circumstances, I wish we had more photography done of Kate in the unique costumes she wore beyond a few on set pictures, because I want to ogle at a more editorial/detailed press presentation of each one and I believe that everyone should treasure all versions of Janeway.
Blah Blah Blahhhh haha
I feel a little vulnerable spreading my thoughts around but I really appreciate you asking me about them and getting me out of my shell <333.

For the matchups /np <3
What song are you fixated on at the moment? What lyric or verse, and why?
At the moment it’s Vienna by Billy Joel, ‘she’s always a woman’ is one of my favourites ever and Vienna just hits right as I feel like I’m behind a lot of the friends that I grew up with atm. (My fave parts are ‘you’re so ahead of yourself that you’ve forgot what you need’ and ‘ you can’t be everything you wanna be before your time’.
What is your Enneagram type?
I don’t know my enneagram sorry but I know my personality type is ENFP if that’s any help :)
Tell me about your childhood imaginary friend.
Funnily enough he was a dog, like I used to just imagine I had a dog and he’d follow me around, sometimes he’d talk and sometimes he wouldn’t and he was named after ‘Balto’ from the animated movie.
What is your go to way to fall asleep?
I don’t really have one, I usually end up waking up not remembering falling asleep in the first place. I basically just wait until I’m tired enough for it just happen.
If you had to change your name, what would it be, and why? (In tandem, if you have changed your name, why did you pick that one?)
Although I wouldn’t like to change my first name, as I think it suits me, I did change my last name to my Grandma’s maiden name after she’d told me she was sad that she couldn’t keep it when she married my grandad.
What Redacted boy holds no appeal to you, and why? Like, not the one you hate but the one who you don’t get the hype for. (I won’t judge, I promise.)
I feel awful about this one, but Guy. I don’t dislike him or anything but I’m also not necessarily excited when he gets an upload. I’m also not sure why, he just doesn’t hit the same for me as he seems to do for a lot of other people.
Tell me about that one book/movie/tv show you know all the words to.
Fantastic Mr Fox. I love it, I love the framing and the colours and the characters. They’re all very ‘human’ in different ways and the moment between Foxy and Felicity near the waterfall is so relatable I want to eat it.
Which Redacted boy are you platonically attracted to? Like- forget dating, which dude do you want to be your best friend?
SO MANY. Like the entire D.A.M.N squad. I love all the characters and I don’t mind anger but if Damien directed it at me I’d get defensive and that wouldn’t make for a good couple. Gavin, I wouldn’t really like my partner flirting with other people, Huxley I enjoy hiking but simply can’t picture myself dating him because he’s with Damien etc etc
Do you have a go-to thing you ramble about when you’re tired, and if so, what is it? (For example, my boyfriend knows I’m ready to sleep when I start talking about space.)
The signal for me being tired is actually that I go very quiet/ not talkative. But if I was to ramble about something it would probably just be about things that had happened irl, old funny story’s and stuff (or whatever fandoms I’m in at the time depending on who I’m with).
Tell me your go-to gas station and drink combo.
Red Bull. Always Red Bull. 🧎🏻
Extra’s: My favourite colour is green. I love movies, reading/writing and animals. I’m a Libra. My love languages are acts of service and physical touch but again, depending on the person.
Thank you!
Tumblr media
As always, I love it when I am given so much information to work with! You seem so lovely and agreeable, it’s hard to think with whom you wouldn’t work well. Somehow, the “loving animals” bit convinced me, because what’s better for an animal lover than our beloved beta boy who can turn into a wolf on a whim?
Asher strikes me as the type of guy who works best with someone like himself. He works well with everyone, by his nature, but you and he would have so many similarities that being together would be wonderfully easy. It’s the big things like your extroverted natures and your compatible love languages. Yet it’s also the little things like your shared love of hiking and caffeinated battery acid (I say affectionately as a Strawberry Apricot Red Bull fiend).
You’d be the sort of couple who operate like well-oiled cogs of a machine, like one of you was a telepath, that’s how naturally you communicate and maneuver around each other. It’s a wonderfully comfortable, joyful life that the two of you have. There’s lots of alternating days of him showing you Halo and you showing him new, interesting movies, countless lectures from David about y’all having to drink something not poisoned with taurine, and so, so much love.
Song:
I confess, I messed up/ Dropping "I'm sorry" like you're still around/ And I know you're dressed up/ Hey kid you'll never live this down/ You're just the girl all the boys want to dance with/ And I'm just the boy who's had too many chances
I’ve just got to give the boy a FOB song, you must understand; I also think it’s a really fun choice for y’all. I love the movie references, the fun, boppy tempo, the dramatic, theatrical way Asher would fall to his knees on the kitchen floor as he belts it out at you in true, emo kid fashion. It’s infectious, and you would be helpless to either sing or headbang along.
Runner-ups:
This was hard. Again, I feel like you could pair well with just so many people; narrowing it down to two was an ordeal. In the end, I like Anton for you because you two contrast in a lot of the ways you and Asher compare. Also, I chose Sam as a runner-up for you because you two hiking together would be really cute. Also, You/Sam is giving kind of David/Asher but in another font, and I love Dasher /lh
note: thank you so much for waiting 💕
Read this post and send me an ask if you’d like a match-up of your own! 💌

Okay warning this is gonna be a long long rant <4
Firstly it’s that utena is Queerbait and no im not kidding, people do think this
Even without the movie like its so obvious that its not queerbait like??
and its funny bc they said it abt the scene where utena says “I’m a totally normal girl who wants a totally normal boy” Like that scene isn’t super to be ironic and literally contradicted in the show MULTIPLE TIMES the fucking next scene is touga showing up and being like “hello I am a totally normal boy” and utena rejects him LIKE OH MY GOD
LIKE IM SORRY IT NEEDS TO BE SPELLED OUT FOR YOU??
The movie literally exists to show stupid ppl that theyre canon bc they cant fathom not being spoonfed a queer relationship
Bc apparently its not queer unless they look at the camera and say “im in love with a girl” which funnily enough IS EXACTLY WHAT UTENA DOES NEAR THE END IN THE BADMINTON SCENE
AND THATS NOT EVEN MENTIONING JURI
(But also ppl saying “just wait till the movie” is kinda annoying bc you don’t NEED the movie theyre gay enough in the show its VERY CLEAR)
Another is that Anthy has no personality which like??? Literally no, it’s true she hides her real emotions but if you actually PAY ATTENTION she has a very clear personality
And what’s worse is that the person who said this fave character is MIKI like…okay.
Theres “Nanami is so funny and pretty but shes wasted bc all she cares abt is her brother bc the author is a creep” WHICH IM GONNA LOSE IT
Saying a grooming victim is wasted is soooo??? Like also when Touga tries to kiss her she pushes him away BECAUSE SHE ISNT IN LOVE WITH HIM THATS THE WHOLE POINT OF HER ARC!!
There’s also “Utena romantizes abuse” which like??? No??? “It’s too grotesque and grizzly” THATS THE POINT????? And also no? At least not to me, Utena doesn’t shove in your face that utena is being groomed and assaulted, in fact if you aren’t paying attention you probably won’t understand whats happening during ep 33
An example of something that IS too grotesque is the assault scenes from Berserk which are literally hentai scenes and shows you the characters getting assaulted in a way that’s yes supposed to be horrifying but is also framed in a way that you’re clearly supposed to find the scenes appealing
Being uncomfortable by the raw depictions of these topics in utena to the point you don’t wanna watch it is understandable but its not a thing against the show
Also the take that 90s sailor moon is better than Utena bc of Harumichi which is so stupid but thqts a whole other rant
The entire point can be kinda summed up to "abuse bad" just cause it's got a pretty art style and doesn't slap you in the face with the message in the first like 3 episodes doesn't mean it's romanticizing abuse wha t ,,,,,,,
also nanami is one of the bestest characters and I love her and anybody who disagrees is wrong and stupid . Except pretend I had an elegant moral way 2 say that
And QUEERBAIT ??????? HELLO ????????????? DID YOU WATCJ THE FUCKING SHOW ?????(?????????????

12. What's the funniest or craziest AU idea you've ever come up with?
20. When did you first join Tumblr? How long was it between that and finding [KHR fandom]?
24. What's your favourite thing about [your fave character]?
Hiii Ein!!!
Thanks for the ask!
12. What's the funniest or craziest AU idea you've ever come up with?
Limited to KHR? I think the Guide would win that prize since it's cracky as hell and I haven't written really written thaaat much in KHR, writing for this fandom is a pretty new developement.
If we include original fiction in the mix ... I still think the Guide is up there but I've had some crazy ideas over the years. Like I wrote this snippet about a TV sales lady that promotes household items for murdering abusive spouses (was inspired by my late grandpa buying me a knife set over telemarketing). Another story is about a girl who's been appointed to be Death's apprentice after she croaked. Unfortunately one of her first souls she was supposed to collect was the soul of a Chosen Hero who got resurrected before she could lead him to the afterlife. Because of some obscure universal law she can't actually collect the other souls on her list before she gets the Chosen One's soul, so now she's just following this doofus around on his journey to defeat the Great Evil. Funnily enough during the journey the Hero keeps dying because he's an idiot but Fate keeps reviving him because he hasn't finished his job yet. It leads to much frustration and funny moments.
When did you first join Tumblr? How long was it between that and finding [KHR fandom]?
Joined tumblr? Ummmm I don't really remember it's been a few years, it might have been 2018? But again not sure because goldfishbrain.
And I've been in the KHR before I joined tumblr. Katekyo Hitman Reborn was one of the first anime's I watched (it might have been on youtube even but not sure). It's also one of the first fandoms I read fanfic for so you can imagine it's very dear to my heart and I treasure it greatly.
24. What's your favourite thing about [your fave character]?
*totally bluescreens* Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh... Favourite character huh... Thinking about it the first that came to mind was Kyoya so I guess he's it (among others I don't really have a hard favourite).
And my favourite thing about him: I guess his freedom. Kyoya does whatever the hell he wants and gives zero fucks about what other people think about him, it's a very appealing treat for me since I'm an anxious mess that tends to overthink. Also he's really pretty when he kicks ass so there's that... (don't judge me I'm weak for beautiful, strong people okay!!)

hey liv sorry in advance i am nosy
🍓🐇🧃🪐🍬🦷🦋🦴🪲
dont be sorry! i enjoy nosy uwu
🍓 ⇢ how did you get into writing fanfiction?
hmm
i was 12. my favorite tv show at the time was this old disney cartoon, "super robot monkey team hyper force go" (abbreviated as SRMTHFG or SRMTHG. i prefer the first but plenty of people use the second.) it was canceled after its 4th season and, uh. the ending was SO bad. like, major major cliffhanger.
anyway, i was looking up... i don't even remember at the time. and i discovered deviantart, and i discovered this person's OCs. read a lot about them, including some fanfic, and then eventually discovered fanfiction.net
i didn't realize what it was at first; i thought it was just a writing in general site? and i was like oh! i can share the book i'm working on! (i have been trying to write a novel since i was 10). and then as i was looking into where i would post it, i realized what it actually was. (no, the title didn't give it away. idk why.)
so then i was like oh!!! this is really cool actually!!! and i wrote my first fanfic xD
that was in 2011? so i was 12, almost 13.
and i've been reading & writing fic ever since~
🐇 ⇢ do you prefer writing original characters, reader inserts, or a mix of both?
okay so this is a tough question
bc like
i love love love love love second person.
like.
*adore* it.
second person, present tense is my absolute fave, but past tense is good too. (i have written an entire sapphic little mermaid retelling [12k words i think] in second person. uh, it needs revisions but it's a full draft. i opened it it the other day and im still so proud of it uwu)
howEVER. outside of writing second person w/o ever explicitly naming the pov character i have not actually written a reader-insert? so for that reason alone i will have to say 'prefer writing oc's'
🧃 ⇢ share some personal lore you never posted about before
uhh
hm
i'm a chronic oversharer (mostly in the tags) so that's kind of tough!
ah! since my grandmother's memory issues started, i've been doing about half of the cooking (it's been a bit of a battle, as she keeps trying to do everything xD) and i've cooked a lot of new things this year!! i've gotten very good at cooking pork chops. which 🤔 now that i bring that up, i might make friday! or tonight, but they're still in the freezer, so...
🪐 ⇢ name three good things going on in your life right now
my grandmother's memory situation has improved a lot!! it's still not great, but like. strides ahead of where we were 7-8 months ago!
my anxiety has been much kinder to me this year <3 i've made some very lovely friends this year~
mmm, oH, my energy levels have been fantastic this year. i didn't realize just how bad they had gotten until i started these new meds, and now i'm just. <333 much better.
🍬 ⇢ post an unpopular opinion about a popular fandom character
hm
idk if i have any unpopular opinions...? i mean. i'm sure i must, but... nothing immediately comes to mind ^^;
🦷 ⇢ share some personal wisdom or a life hack you swear on
hmmm
recently been trying to get in the habit of summarizing what i want to do before i start writing. it makes the process much easier, if ik a bit about what i want to do before going in?
🦋 ⇢ share something that has been on your heart and mind lately
i am much better at being patient than i ever gave myself credit for in the past <3
🦴 ⇢ is there a piece of media that inspires your writing?
i can't think of one piece in particular, as the places i find inspiration are. all over the board?
🪲 ⇢ add 50 words to your current wip and share the paragraph here
picked a wip from my open tabs at random! funnily enough this is also the one i ended up doing for the emoji ask xD
it's also almost triple what this asked for but once i started writing i couldn't stop <3
He swallows, staring up at Tim. Jason has had plenty of practice reading people through a domino, but. He has no reference for the look Tim is giving him now. Only that it— That the feeling it gives him is… is new and strange. He has no name for it, the way his stomach feels fluttery and tight, his scalp and fingers tingling. His mouth opens—but all that escapes is a stuttery puff of air. That’s okay. He doesn’t know what he was going to say anyway. Tim hooks a gloved finger under his chin; tipping his face up. He leans in, slowly—so slow that Jason— There’s nothing keeping him there. He could run. Turn away. But he feels caught, feet anchored in place. Tim’s mouth touches his, and all thought leaves him. Jason has never been kissed before.

what is your dream figure/doll(<- they are assuming you like monster high dolls or something similar) and which is the favorite of the ones you own?
god this wound up being longer than i assumed it would so
I AM A HUGE MONSTER HIGH FAN!! YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!
i have a huge wishlist when it comes to figures and dolls bc im actually a pretty avid collector of both!
when it comes to figs two that come to mind are miyuki and aoi from totono, the figs themselves arent anything impressive but the aftermarket price is sooo insane for them that i fear i'll never get to own them!
i'll also throw a special mention to this original character figure which i've been entranced by for quite a while now and just never preordered her.
on the doll side of things as typical as it is the sweet screams monster high dolls are what come to my mind immediately! i actually did not collect mh back in the day because i was in my "im too old for kid things" phase (even though i bought ever after high dolls so make it make sense...) so there are a lot of g1 dolls i have sadly missed out on!
i have also wanted a doll of roxxi from bratz since i was a child. i had the bratz babyz version of her (which sadly i no longer own) but never a proper version of her
my faves of the ones that i own is suuch a hard question >__<);;
i guess i'd throw my favorite figure to my stars bless you sakura figure, as i'd never owned or bought such an expensive and giant figure before and i am just super impressed with her every single time i see her. ccs has a lot of huge detailed figures and i'd one day love to own all of them q __q)7
another shoutout to this one labrys figure that i own! my fiance got her for me and im a sucker for a figure with a cool base and this one is just really cool
i also just recentlyish purchased a grail figure that i wanted for years which was the gloomy bear x super sonico figure. she usually goes for a lot but i was able to snag her for a decentish price!
with dolls a lot of my fave dolls that i own are ones that my fiance got me as well ^__^);; he got me a doll of sulfus from angel’s friends, ruby from trollz, and my two favorite g1 monster high characters toralei and porter (both signature dolls) all of which are just huge faves of mine!
i think if i had to throw just one name out there though it would be my kuromi pullip doll! shes another expensive buy that i made but i really love her a lot
and as a little bonus, my biggest grail magical girl item for awhile was the melody key from onegai my melody, which once again my fiance finally found for me after YEARS of searching (funnily enough they are practically everywhere now) since i own that now its changed to the kuromi phone! which ive only ever seen one listing for which was like 600 dollars, so no thanks there lmao

Ooh! New ask game!
Ironwood, obviously. And Qrow too.
Alrighty, these are my boys!
Let's do Ironwood first for the new ask game
1: sexuality headcanon
I headcanon Ironwood to be bisexual with a preference for men.
2: otp
Ironqrow for life. They are just so great as a ship, with all the 'mutual pining, not actually unrequited they're just both idiots, bickering divored-couple-energy that still allows for the spark of new love, the matching color scheme they had in their first looks, the way they look at each other, the freaking hug! It's an amazing ship.
3: brotp
Ironwood and Winter. A lot of people ship them and I can see why, but even though I've long headcanoned them to be the same age, in my head they're just very close friends, close to brother and sister, which makes him accidentally want to favor Weiss and Whitley when he knows them. XD
4: notp
Ironwood and Robyn. Blegh.
5: first headcanon that pops into my head
James uses the training facility at Atlas Academy sometimes and will indulge students that want to spar with him. He's always careful and takes things easy on them, and always lets them get in hits to build their self-confidence.
6: favorite line from this character
"You have two choices: Defend your kingdom and your school, or save yourselves. ...No one will fault you if you leave."
This line is so very James at his best, aggggh! Because it starts out professional and stern, not exactly harsh but more blunt, and then the students all give each other these worried anxious looks, and he softens so clearly in his tone and tells them no one is gonna think less of them, that it isn't their job or their duty or morally right to endanger themselves, and that if they make the choice to leave they can. These kids are seventeen, this might be one of the only times in the first seven seasons that anybody told these kids it's okay to prioritize their own lives.
7: one way in which I relate to this character
I am also kind of socially awkward! Ironwood with his tie adjusting and struggling in conversations and kind of stiff deliveries of things like 'it's good to see you again'... Me too, buddy, I also have no idea how to talk to people. XD
8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character
The villain arc, ugh. What a terribly written final arc to have. It's always embarrassing to have to specify that I like Ironwood outside of his stupid badly done rushed villain arc that turned him into a boring two dimensional evil-laughing rando with a giant gun-gun using his two remaining braincells to do pointlessly evil things just to get at teenagers. Like??? Cringe.
9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?
Problematic fave. Even at IW's very best, he still was flawed in some fun ways, he could do the wrong thing, he could do the right thing but do it in a way that makes you go 'huh.' (Gonna be honest, although I love cinnamon rolls, they're not half as interesting as problematic faves.) XD Aaaand at Ironwood's worst, he was a pointlessly evil stuck up bastard trying to kill and torture people for very little reason, and not in a fun way.
Now for Qrow
1: sexuality headcanon
I headcanon Qrow as bisexual as well, and I also headcanon him as having only realized he was bisexual as a grown adult (partially because Qrow is one of my faves and I project onto my faves, and I only realized I was bi when I was a grown adult. XD)
2: otp
Ironqrow again. XD This ship is just so good that it's my number one fave for both characters.
3: brotp
Qrow and Ozpin. This is a ship that I could see myself enjoying, but what I enjoy even more is them as close friends, with Qrow looking to Oz for guidance and as an authority figure and then the roles reverse when Ozpin gets put into a teenage body and suddenly Qrow is the guide in charge.
4: notp
Funnily enough, this one is also Robyn. Qrow and Robyn started being a ship when she caused a fight and then partially due to her actions, the queercoded Clover was brutally murdered, and then Clover and Qrow spent an entire season doing next to nothing but talking to each other despite their relationship mattering less than any other relationship Qrow had that could've gotten developed, and Robyn compared her problems with her active truth-telling semblance to Qrow's "I hurt everyone around me" problems caused by the passive semblance that makes his life harder despite him not doing anything, and then she was like "don't be sad that your actions helped the Salem worshipper brutally murder your friend, he was probably secretly evil and bad and you're better than that despite the fact that I've known you for like a day." Like, their relationship is nothing but angering for me. XD
5: first headcanon that pops into my head
I have this headcanon that Qrow doesn't realize it, but his bad luck semblance tends to react to large emotions he has. He still absolutely can't control it, but when he's calm and casual and cool, his semblance affects him and the world around him a bit less, and when he's really angry or really sad or even really happy his semblance kicks up and sometimes does really big things like cause unexpected rainstorms and make the electricity in buildings go out and stuff like that.
6: favorite line from this character
Raven: "They were your family." Qrow: "You have a very skewed perception of that word." Maybe it's just because this line fits into my headcanons, but I love it because Qrow's past easily lends itself to him having been abused by the people in the Branwen Camp, and then acquired a found family in Team STRQ and Ozpin, and now he has Yang and Ruby and he was involved in picking up the pieces when Raven left and then again when Summer died, which was probably devastating for him. I also just like Qrow's quippy nature and I like that at least someone was calling out Raven on her BS.
7: one way in which I relate to this character
Despite the fact that I've projected onto Qrow, we actually don't have very many similarities. But I'd say that although it's not nearly to the point of Qrow's own issues, I also struggle with feeling like a burden to the people around me and too much of a mess to deal with. I like writing for Qrow partially because it's a good way to explore those feelings.
8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character
"The size of the waitress's skirt length" Ulgh, gag me with a spoon. The at the time all male writers and one with a particularly bad past regarding misogyny on a show concepted by a guy who likes animating a seventeen year old woman character's boobs to bounce around to a jeering laughing cheering crowd... Yeah, no thanks. I much prefer writing my version of Qrow to flirt a lot but know where the line is and not do things like talk about how hot he finds miniskirts on service workers to his two underage nieces.
9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?
Problematic fave for sure. Even at his best, Qrow is a rough-around-the-ages spy with shady connections blindly following a leader and not seeing much wrong with getting kids involved who also picks fights with people and is drowning in his own emotional problems in ways that have negative effects on the people around him. But Qrow also (especially in the third and in the eighth season) like it or not also suffers from the problems of the writers, whether that's never giving a damn about inequality, objectifying service workers in a funny story to his underage nieces, seeming weak willed and hypocritical due to the writer's misuse or retconnings or making him go along with whatever Ruby says after Argus, or actively aiding a servant of Salem in volume seven and losing all his braincells in the process so the writers can force it to happen. Either way, Qrow is very problematic, in some fun and interesting ways and some not so fun ways.
