Title: Super Self-indulgent Shark Week Spectacular

Rating: G (there is one swear though)

Pairing: Bi-Han x Sol (me), Tomas x Hallvard

Summary: So it’s a little late for Shark Week, but I finally sat down and finished up my super self-indulgent selfship Shark Week spectacular. Feel free to join me on my little adventure as I get to my love of Shark Week with my youngest son for the first time. Thank you lovelies for encouraging me to split my time between reader inserts and self ship content. I don’t really expect anyone to read this but if you enjoy domestic fluff an sharks you might enjoy it.

Author’s Note: As always if you enjoy this please feel free to like, comment and or reblog and please feel free to ask any self ship questions you have, I’m always happy to talk about it. Based on my previous poll, I did drop the tonal accents on the Chinese words, so there are smattering of Chinese names, and familiar terms. Thank you all again for encouraging me to write this and special thanks to @kutleki who also shares my love of Bi-Han and sharks lol

“Bingbing’s asleep? You’re sure? You didn’t just put her in her bed and shut off the light and just walk out did you?” I ask raising an eye at my husband.

��Babe, what do you take me for? First of all, I read her a story until she literally blacked out, then I snuck out of her grasp, tucked her in, and left the room. She’s sound asleep.” Bi-Han answers as he grabs a bowl of popcorn from the kitchen.

“Hmm, ok,” I reply, skeptical that my husband was successful in putting our almost three-year-old to bed. I turn to my sons, “you sure you’re not going to get nightmares, Xue?”

My youngest son gives me an indignant face that I’ve seen his father make too many times, “Mama I’m 9! I’m not a little boy! Sharks aren’t going to give me nightmares! You and Baba kissing all the time will though.” He mimes vomiting and wraps his arms around his stomach and hunching over as if he was in pain.

“Try living with it as long as we have,” my oldest twins answer in unison as they pile onto the couch next to me, leaving no room for their father.

Bi-Han arrives with the popcorn and gives me an upside-down kiss, “oh yeah, total nightmare fuel,” he chuckles and hands the twins the bowl of popcorn.

I shiver slightly and zip my hoodie up a little more, I love spending time with my husband and my boys, but being surrounded by cryomancers with no natural resistance required proper clothing.

Bi-Han notices my slight shiver, “need a blanket babe?” He doesn’t wait for my answer and makes his way to our bedroom to grab one of the fur duvets from our plush king-sized bed. He makes his way back in the living room and the temperature dips again and I’m grateful when he wraps the blanket around my shoulders. He narrows his eyes and looks around before looking at the twins, “and where exactly am I supposed to sit?”

“On the floor with Xue?” Xiao-Han, my oldest, answers confidently.

“Yes, that’s exactly where you boys belong,” Bi-Han glares at the twins while crossing his arms over his chest.

“Y-yes baba,” they answer sheepishly as they slink onto the floor next to their younger brother.

“Is everyone finally settled,” I ask, slightly annoyed with having to wait this long to start watching Shark Week because at the rate we’re going it will be Xue’s bedtime before we can even watch one episode. I grab the remote as my hoard of boys answer affirmatively and I’m just about to press play on the DVR when the door opens wide with a clunk.

“Sorry, we’re late Sol!” Tomas’ voice greets me as he’s followed by Hallvard and Kuai Liang all showing themselves inside our dwelling.

I blink and look over at Bi-Han, “you invited your brothers and didn’t tell me?”

“Well you said it was family night, so yeah? I didn’t think you’d mind,” Bi-Han gives me an odd look as if he didn’t understand what the problem could possibly be.

I scowl at him before turning my attention to our extended family, “guys keep it down, Bingbing is asleep.” I hiss, hoping my boisterous in-laws didn’t wake the baby.

Tomas at least has the decency to look ashamed of himself, “sorry Sol,” he whispers as they make their way to the living room.

Bi-Han stands up, “I’m going to make more popcorn one bowl isn’t going to be enough.” I give him a dismayed look, “babe it’s ok, the boys don’t have school tomorrow, it’s Friday night, and Air Jaws will wait for you, I promise.”

“What about Colossus though? And Deep Blue and Duchess? Are they going to wait?” I sulk as I rattle off the names of Great Whites made famous over the years.

Bi-Han throws another package of popcorn in the microwave and pushes the button while he chuckles, “they’re already recorded qīn, they’ll be fine.”

Kuai Liang settles on the couch next to me and I feel the chill of all my cryomancers dissipate slightly, “do you want me to go check on Bingbing and make sure she’s still asleep?”

I sigh, “if you don’t mind, I really wouldn’t mind letting her stay up, but she’s not even three yet, I don’t know if the sharks would scare her or not. I was about Xue’s age when I started watching Shark Week even if it is a bit older than that, but I suppose I did have a lot of picture books about sharks when I was younger, but not two years old, younger.”

“I don’t mind, she’s my precious niece,” Kuai Liang replies as he gets up and heads down the hallway towards the kids' bedrooms, and my nice air of warmth is gone. A moment or two passes before he comes back with Bingbing nestled excitedly in his arms, “she uh wasn’t asleep.”

“I was afraid of that,” I hold my arms out to take my daughter from her Uncle, but Kuai Liang makes a face and hugs her closer as he sits down with her. I shrug in defeat as he cuddles Bingbing closely and starts baby-talking to her in Chinese, her little face lights up and she tries her best to babble back to him. I feel inadequate, Bi-Han and I have been together 15 years and I can barely string a sentence together in Mandarin, and my two-year-old speaks it better than I can, in my defense Bi-Han is not exactly the best teacher, I try and justify though I find it hard to believe my lie when all four of my children are multilingual and I still need the help of google translate to go to the market. I scowl and turn to my brother-in-law, “cover her eyes if it gets too gruesome.”

“Will do,” Kuai Liang agrees and resumes playing with Bingbing by trying to eat her hands which she is absolutely living for, and squealing with delight.

“Did Uncle Liang play with me when I was Bingbing’s age?” Xue asks and I can’t tell if he’s jealous of his little sister or genuinely curious.

“Are you stupid,” Xiao-Bing answers before I can, “Uncle Liang always played with you when you were meimei’s age, he wouldn’t leave you alone.”

“I played with you and Xiao-Han when you were babies too, you used to love answering your foot like it was a phone, it was so cute,” Kuai Liang reassures the twins, making sure they all know their Uncle spent equal time with them.

“Hey don’t forget about us!” Tomas chimes in stealing a handful of popcorn from the twins, “he’s not your only Uncle! Uncle Halle and I have been here the whole time too!”

I chuckle, “yes you’ve all had plenty of Uncles to look after and play with you boys ever since you were born, I don’t know who was more nervous when I was pregnant first, your Baba or your Shushu.”

“Mama, I don’t wanna hear about Han and Bing again, I want to watch sharks!” Xue pouts and shoves a handful of popcorn in his mouth.

I sigh and look over towards the kitchen, “I want to watch sharks too but we have to wait for Baba.”

Bi-Han dumps the popcorn in a bowl and heads back into the living room passing the bowl to Hallvard, “are we finally good? Do we need a third bowl of popcorn?” He asks hovering next to the couch not wanting to risk sitting down.

“We can always make more if we need it,” Tomas quips. “Sit down gēgē, I think if Sol has to wait any longer she’s going to go cage diving with the sharks herself.”

I finally open up the Discover Plus app on my phone and connect it to our living room tv and press play on the latest installment of Air Jaws: the Final Frontier, excited to be able to see my favorite, breaching Great White Sharks. I’m greeted with a pleasant, familiar face as Andy Brandy Cassagrande introduces the premise of trying to find breaching sharks in New Zealand. I curse under my breath and it doesn’t go unnoticed.

“What’s wrong babe, I thought you liked this guy?” Bi-Han asks while stealing some popcorn from his younger, adopted brother.

“It’s not Andy I’m upset about, it’s those damn orcas, Port, and Starboard I’m upset about. Why have they not been tagged or dragged off to Sea World or something, they’re decimating the Great White population in South Africa and forcing the sharks from their homes,” I complain glaring at the mention of the problematic whales.

“Babe, it’s nature. Discovery Channel can’t just swoop in and save the sharks single handily,” Bi-Han replies, and while he’s right the answer still rubs me the wrong way.

“Yeah well, next family trip is South Africa, you’re going to rip those orca’s spines out and I’m going to go cage diving with the sharks and boop their snoots,” I state bluntly as I’m suddenly met with stares from my boys and in-laws. “What? The orcas deserve it!”

Bi-Han hisses in my ear, “the boys aren’t supposed to know I can rip a spine out I thought, that was your rule if I remember correctly. You didn’t want them exposed to the assassin side of the Lin Kuei, only the martial arts aspects and I agreed that the boys wouldn’t be assassins.” Bi-Han seems upset and worried that I had said too much.

“Fuck,” I whisper and suddenly flush red at my mistake, “kidding! Only kidding! I just hate those orcas so much that I wish Baba was able to take care of them so easily!” I try and talk my way out of my predicament, but thankfully my children seem engrossed with the sharks circling the cage diver to notice my backtracking.

“Smooth qin, real smooth,” Bi-Han rolls his eyes and gropes around for the popcorn bowl before Tomas helps him out and moves the bowl under his hand.

“I mean Baba’s crazy strong, if it’s possible to rip a spine out, which I don’t think it is, he probably could,” Xiao-Han replies casually as if we discussed the physical aspects of dismemberment all the time.

“It’s not possible,” Bi-Han is quick to inform his son, trying to get the topic onto something else, “woah! That shark is huge! Look at it!”

“Why is he so big?” Xue asks, clearly spellbound by the magnificent animal circling the cage and nosing at the seal decoy.

“She, pumpkin, that’s a girl shark, they’re much bigger than the male sharks, so anytime you see a really big shark it’s most likely a girl,” I inform my youngest son.

“Why are the girls so much bigger,” he asks, clearly confused by this considering his own parents' dynamic was very much the opposite.

“Well, they have to be really big to fend off predators and to be able to take care of their babies,” I reply finally stealing a bit of popcorn for myself.

“But Baba keeps the family safe,” Xue insists, “you’re too small Mama.”

“Things are different with sharks, shark mamas are big and strong because shark babas don’t stay around and help the mother shark raise the babies, they do everything on their own so they have to be able to take care of themselves and their babies,” I explain before adding. “You’re right though I can’t take care of you all as well as Baba can, which is why we keep him around,” I laugh slightly and pull the blanket closer as I snuggle up to Bi-Han.

“You also keep me around for my excellent dumpling skills, don’t forget that,” Bi-Han laughs as if he doesn’t bring anything to the relationship outside of his brute strength and culinary prowess.

“At least the children wouldn’t starve if I spontaneously died,” I laugh as I’m swatted by my brother-in-law.

“Sol! Don’t say things like that in front of the baby, you’ll upset her!” Kuai Liang scolds as he covers Bingbing’s ears.

“You better not spontaneously die, Baba’s dumplings are good and all but I can’t eat them every single day, besides there’s no way he’ll remember to buy us the Oreo mooncakes, we’ll just end up with boring sesame, and the crappy ones with nuts and ham Shushu likes,” Xiao-Bing starts while Xiao-Han finishes the complaint while stuffing popcorn into their mouths.

“So glad my cooking and ability to buy the right mooncakes is why you want me alive,” I sulk and pull the blanket around me higher.

Bi-Han shoots the boys a look and they immediately mumble, “sorry mama.”

I try and ignore the twins' reasonings to keep me alive and remind myself they are teenagers and I’m lucky they don’t tell me they hate me on a daily basis as I finally let myself get sucked into Andy’s hunt for breaching sharks in New Zealand. We watch the rest of the special with little commentary aside from the occasional “woah!” from my youngest son. The special ended with a super satisfying breaching Great White and potential hope that the Great Whites might have found a new home in New Zealand. Thankfully Bingbing was sound asleep in Kuai Liang’s arms and didn’t seem to have been scared of the sharks she did end up seeing and I can’t help but think to myself “she’s my daughter, of course she isn’t scared of sharks,” it feels surreal but so satisfying to sharing something that had been such a big part of my childhood with my own children. It was hard to believe Shark Week was celebrating its 35th anniversary but my boys were so amazed by it and intrigued that I hoped it continued another 35 and was something I’d be able to share with my grandchildren.

“Can we watch another Mama?” Xue asks, he had abandoned the empty bowl of popcorn in favor of his stuffed polar bear because of course all my children received stuffed polar bears when they were children. It wasn’t just a nod to their father but it was also special to me because when I was a very sickly child growing up in the hospital a kindly nurse had gifted me a stuffed polar bear after my first major heart surgery. I often thought it was fate that I had ended up with my Polar Bear.

“It is getting kind of late, but I suppose one more won’t hurt,” I agree and queue up Jaws vs the Meg and snuggle closer to my husband, my heart overflowing with happiness as my family is all together to enjoy this. I’m a little sad my own brothers aren’t here to experience it, but they haven’t seen the boys since my Father’s 70th bday, and have never met Bingbing. It was hard living another world away sometimes, but I wouldn’t change my life for anything.

“What’s this one about Mama?” Xue’s voice cuts through my slight melancholy.

“This one? Only the coolest sharks ever! The Great White vs their prehistoric ancestor the Megalodon! It’ll be awesome!” I perk up with the excitement of my two favorite sharks being showcased in one special.

“Cool!” The boys echo as we settle back in to enjoy the special.

I definitely hit the jackpot as I look around at my extended family, and happily push play.

Oh look! More late night writing! I didn’t get around to drawing ship stuff but I did find a poly one so I will work on that tomorrow but in the meantime have some Tomas x Hallvard head canons! I know no one really cares about my OC but I did promise y’all I would write these anyway so I did! Questions are from ask games, please feel free to ask me any you might have about well anything MK! Especially anything Lin Kuei! It’s my favorite thing to write about well them and Syzoth 🥺

Describe their first date.

Hallvard and Tomas’ first date was a very simple lunch date. It really wasn’t much of a first date as they didn’t go anywhere and do anything but they did sneak off away from Bi-Han and Kuai Liang to have lunch alone. Hallvard was the one who asked Tomas out after confiding in his closest ally, Bi-Han, and asking his advice on what to do. Bi-Han had suggested lunch together as they were all still quite young and not yet allowed in the village at the base of the temple. At first Tomas had no idea why Hallvard wanted to have lunch alone with him but after the younger boy confesses his feelings Tomas pieces things together. He doesn’t return Hallvard’s feelings right away though, Tomas doesn’t know how he feels about men, women or anyone for that matter but he was flattered his friend was so interested. He continues to have lunch with Hallvard and he too goes to Bi-Han for help sorting out his feelings, it’s rough being the oldest and most experienced of the bunch; and gradually realizes while he likes men and women but he also likes Hallvard as more than a friend.

How often do they say “I love you”?

Hallvard is more lovey dovey and more affectionate in general than Tomas is and he often tells Tomas he loves him. For Tomas it’s usually reserved for leaving on a dangerous mission and coming home from one. It’s not that Tomas doesn’t love Hallvard he’s just not as talkative as Hallvard is, Hallvard is quite boisterous and an open book so there’s no hiding anything for him. Hallvard is totally a Golden Retriever boyfriend and showers Tomas in words of affection and attention to the point it gets embarrassing for Tomas. Especially when Bi-Han parrots Hallvard in order to tease Tomas, Bi-Han might be a good older brother and might be supportive of their relationship but that doesn’t mean he’s not going to tease both of them mercilessly.

How do they keep in contact when they’re apart? Do they write letters, talk on the phone, or simply wait out the time?

Technology is not huge for the Lin Kuei in this timeline (or at least it doesn’t appear to be) so they communicate by carrier pigeons and other birds. Hallvard often sends frivolous birds with sweet little messages like “miss you”, “love you”, “thinking of you” while Tomas sends practical messages like “here are my coordinates”, “target sighted” and “target terminated”. Every so often though on long missions Tomas will give into Hallvard’s affectionate messages and send him similar ones in return. Tomas definitely does better with separation than Hallvard does.

How do they care for each other when one of them is wounded/sick?

Being professional thieves and assassins both men spend a lot of time injured and both have a very good knowledge of how to treat said injuries. Due to the nature of his powers being based largely on self inflicted wounds and being injured in general Hallvard is almost always in most need of care. Tomas has spent many a night not so happily stitching his boyfriend back up, he understands that Hallvard has to be injured to tap into his power but that doesn’t mean Tomas has to like it. He’s very tender and soft during these moments and is very meticulous when tending to Hallvard. Likewise Hallvard is just as attentive treating Tomas’ injuries but luckily Tomas doesn’t get injured very often. When Tomas got his nasty scar over his eye however he was so scared and terrified trying to treat it. He was so worried that his eye was permanently damaged and there was so much blood. Hallvard might have struggled pretty hard to hold back his panicked tears as he cleaned and dressed it and may have cries in the bathroom afterwards. He can be quite emotional for a big scary assassin.

Is their relationship a secret? If so, why?

Yes. Bi-Han and Kuai Liang know about their relationship but the rest of the Lin Kuei have no clue. People definitely have their suspicions but no one is stupid enough to start anything with the Grandmaster’s younger brother. Their relationship is primarily a secret because while homosexuality isn’t forbidden in the Lin Kuei it’s also not the normal. Tomas is also a relatively private person and would rather not announce to the world he and Hallvard are together, the people who are important to him know and that’s good enough for him. Hallvard on the other hand finds it hard not to let things slip and has almost called Tomas pet names in public hundreds of times. When he does screw up he plays it off and being a “foreign thing” he’s usually reasonably convincing but he has definitely gotten strange looks.

I feel like l’ve been neglecting Hallvard and Smoke ever since I decided to self ship with Syzoth too. Bad Sol. Bad! I will try and write something for them next, maybe headcanons? Maybe smut? I’m not sure. I just don’t want Smonk to feel like I don’t love him too because I do! I just felt he was too close to Bi-Han to do anything with personally what with them being adopted brothers now. I swear everyone in this game is too hot now lol I need a harem instead of poly shipping. I’m also thinking of getting a commission of me and Syzoth too well honestly I’d love me, Bi-Han and Syzoth but I don’t know that I can afford a three character commission. Maybe I should get one of Hallvard and Smoke instead? I really don’t know I’m kind of all over the place right now aren’t I? What I’d really love is a family portrait but fuck me lol I definitely can’t afford three adults and four kids lol maybe I can do some shitty stick figures myself? I can draw but I can’t color lol I also can’t draw without a reference so I would have to find kids that I would think are what my kids with Bi-Han look like and go from there. Oh hey look! I’m rambling! What a shock! I did take my nails off because one broke so I can type and doodle and stuff again so I guess that’s a plus at least?

If you don’t like any of those options my asks are open and you’re free to send in stuff for any of the kharacters I write for.

[bihansthot]

Hallvard is definitely calling Smoke Cupi, it’s too cute to pass up. I don’t care if animalities never exist again, they did and that’s the important part and furthermore they are perfectly adorable pet names. Hallvard needs an animality, maybe a Dire Wolf as an homage to his dogs? Is that too close to Nighwolf’s though? Oh oh maybe a Reindeer?? He can gore the shit out of people with his antlers? I think that might be the winner. Christmas will never be the same.

[bihansthot]

Okay so I'm a suckered for self torment regarding food flavors that are spicy (due to some slight traditions i've picked up in recent years), so this got me thinking.

Is Bi Han tolerant to such flavors? Are his brothers? (Kuai Liang, Hallvard and Tomas), your kiddos and other Lin Kuei? I understand the Lin Kuei would be the type to have a strict diet to follow, but on that off chance they got to eat food outside this restriction, who's likely to have the better tolerance?

I like to think Bi-Han handles spicy very well, but that’s just a personal headcanon? There are a lot of spicy cuisines in China so I don’t think the brothers are strangers to spice. I tend to think Bi-Han and Kuai Liang are part Teochew, a Chinese minority; based on one of Noob’s shadow gears in MK11 so a lot of the food they ate growing up was Teochew Cuisine. It’s known mainly for their braised dishes but there are also spicy noodle dishes, so Bi-Han and Kuai Liang would be used to the spice from an early age on. The Lin Kuei diet I imagine is primarily protein heavy and vegetable heavy for nutrients and probably isn’t Teochew since the Lin Kuei is most likely in Heilongjiang and is mostly known for stews and spicy, rich, salty dishes, so there’s still the element of spice in the local cuisine, but please take what I say with a grain of salt. I’m going off of food blogs about Heilongjiang province and Teochew cuisines, I’m not very familiar with them myself, but we do have Sweet and Sour Pork here which is a very famous Heilongjiang speciality! I love asks like this by the way, it makes me research and look up fun and interesting new facts and I get to learn new things!

Tomas and Hallvard eat what the others eat, but Hallvard is kind of a wuss when it comes to spice, us Norwegians are not exactly known for spicy food, we just have shitty fermented shark that smells and tastes like piss. I personally haven’t eaten it since it’s against my morales to eat shark, but it’s common amongst my peoples and since Hallvard is like a boy me, he’d be familiar with it, especially since he was raised in a fishing village. Tomas is a little better with spicy, but nothing like the Sub-Zero brothers are who handle it without problem. Tomas and Hallvard always complain when the four of them go out for hot pot and Bi-Han and Kuai Liang want to get the mala base and Hallvard and Tomas want the chicken base, thankfully most hot pots allow for two different flavors and all the boys are happy. Out of the four it probably goes Kuai Liang, Bi-Han, Tomas and Hallvard, due to his pyromancy Kuai Liang tolerates all things hot a little bit better than his brother does, including spice, but they are fairly evenly matched. They’re both excellent at eating hot temperature foods, Bi-Han’s breath cools it off and the burning food just doesn’t bother Kuai Liang in the slightest because he often runs warmer than the food he’s eating.

When it comes to my kiddos, they have a good tolerance for spice thanks to their father introducing them to his native cuisine from what he remembers from his Mother’s cooking and dishes he had in the Lin Kuei, but they have a far more Cantonese style diet since a lot of the foods I love are traditionally Cantonese. They also get some Scandinavian fare from me, like my excellent Swedish Meatballs, but those aren’t spicy in the slightest. I would say the boys have a better spice tolerance than I do, but Bingbing doesn’t really at spicy yet as she’s not even three yet.

Semi serious question, this regards the sub zero bro's (plus hallvard and tomas) and the kids, it involves pets. More directly i own a Adult Male Siberian Husky (Brownish/Red/Ginger and White) irl named Bear who ill insert insert into the fandoms i favor and frequent on occasions, however an idea of mine i wanna write as a small (an i mean really small) oneshot keeps running into traps like kyrpt guy from mk11 on how interactions would pan out in such scenario involving a inside/outside/housepet.

As resident master at writing for Bi-han could you spare me your knowledge?

I’m honestly not too sure what you mean lovely? Do you mean Bear running into traps like Krypt guy or Bear out maneuvering traps the way Krypt guy does? I’m no slouch when it comes to gore and violence, MK has been my entire childhood, but I can only tolerate gore and violence towards humans, I’m a hard no when it comes to animals. I love animals, especially dogs immensely and the thought of anything bad happening to them makes me cry like a toddler, so I’m going to assume you mean to have Bear sniffing out and deftly avoiding traps. Dogs are very aware of their surroundings and can smell things much better than people can, so for example Bear could smell out a fire trap before triggering it because he could smell the gas. At least that’s what I would imagine? Hallvard has two big wolf dogs, Vali and Balder but they don’t accompany him into battle, they are housepets and are treated like family members, so they stay at the Lin Kuei Temple when Hallvard is out on missions. So, I’m not quite sure what it would be like bringing your dog along with you on adventures except I feel as though they would alert you to danger before you realized it was there? I’m sorry if I’m not answering the question properly, I’ve just never really thought about this before because my dogs have always been the biggest, spoiled little marshmallows on the planet, I’ve always had big dogs Jäger was around 90-95 lbs and Denny is 85lbs and they were/are just giant lap dogs. Denny being a literal lap dog and often has to be laying on me or he whines, he’s a quarantine baby who has major separation anxiety 🙃 So, I would never be able to see them accompanying me on adventures or anything like that, hell I don’t go on adventures, an adventure for me is successfully navigating the market haha So, I’m pretty much rambling at this point because I honestly don’t know how to answer this? I just figure Bear is clever and able to overcome any obstacles in his way.

Also, I apologize for any typos or spelling errors, my spellcheck isn’t working on tumblr on my iPad for some reason x.X

[bihansthot]

Some crappy Hallvard sketches no one asked for, lots of Viking references used, and a cute little Smonk 🥺

I’ve decided his hair changes at Tomas’ whim because Tomas does his hair for him, it’s often braided in some fashion but it changes depending on how much down time they have. Sometimes it’s more shaved than other times but usually Hallvard’s head is partially shaved. Braids are hard to draw though so sorry it’s sucky. I also am having a hard time deciding what his mask should look like but one or my besties suggested an animal skull with horns and I loved that idea. So please imagine that! More hairstyles ideas after the cut!

Hallvard was orphaned at a young age and was forced to survive in the harsh wilds of Norway with the help of his dogs Vali and Balder but was taken in by a young Lin Kuei operative (Hydro) who was in the area at the time of his personal tragedy. He was taken back to Arctika and raised alongside his fellow Lin Kuei and trained to be a reaver. A reaver gains their powers from damage either self inflicted or received during battle, the more damage Hallvard takes the more damage he’s able to inflict. It’s a double edge sword however and he can easily get too injured and collapse in battle, his attack style is very aggressive and reckless, his goal is to get injured and it drives Tomas crazy who usually patches Hallvard up after missions. Hallvard is a verse, he’s just as happy to let Tomas take the lead as he is to take the lead himself. He’s very sweet and doting and very much a Golden Retriever Boyfriend, he’s good friends with everyone in the Lin Kuei but he’s particularly close to Bi-Han and Sektor, despite being horribly jealous of Scorpion they’re actually very good friends. He knows Tomas would never be unfaithful but sometimes he’s worries he’s not good enough for Tomas and that he deserves someone better and more refined like Scorpion. Hallvard is very loyal to the Lin Kuei as they took him in and raised him after he lost his family in the tragic fire, he looks up to and respects Bi-Han as Grandmaster immensely but also loves having drinking contests with him, usually ending in a tie when they both pass out from stubbornness. He loves spending his down time with Tomas and tinkering with his grenades and other weapons in his arsenal, he’s gotta make sure his baby is well stocked up. He’s very go with the flow and doesn’t have a lot of strong opinions and usually defaults to Bi-Han’s judgment.

OC template came from gaiaonline hopefully you lovelies like him 🥺 I don’t know how much we’ll see of him but I really wanted someone to ship with Smoke.

Smonk is a poor little meow meow, he’s just a sweet little cinnamon roll I love him 😭 I… I mean Hallvard loves him, yes that’s what I meant. My OC Hallvard loves Smoke, I love Bi-Han.

[bihansthot]

Just a local fan sliding in with something that crossed my mind.

So hear me out, you, hallvard, tomas and us helping each other with hairstyles, hairdye, or a simple scalp scritch? Do you and bi han do this on occasion by yourselves at home? With dad!bi han and his daughter has he became the hairstylist pro whenever she wants her dad to do her hair?

>I can't speak for all of us anons, but i, myself sadly have long hair and on occasions struggle to maintain the mane (i also dye my hair and good grief the amount of times i've thought i messed up), i'll see pretty styles later and boom tired arms halfway into attempting to do said style

Oh phew! Tumblr ate my answer but not the ask itself!

So, Bi-Han is a certified hairstylist at this point haha not really but between me and Bīngbīng the man has skills. He helps me dye it, especially bleaching out my roots, I can handle the color because I use Overtone which goes on like conditioner. Bleaching though I can’t do myself so he’s excellent at helping he’s also great at shaving my undercut. I have super thick hair so I have a partial undercut to help with managing it and he shaves it for me.

When it comes to Bīngbīng’s hair he is a pro! His daughter might be a fierce little warrior in training or will be when she gets old enough but that doesn’t mean she isn’t going to be precious while she does it. Instagram and TikTok are his secret weapons and he’s not afraid to use them aggressively to give his daughter the cutest hairdos. Some of his favorites to do are:

Even though Bīngbīng is biracial he’s very keen on her knowing her Chinese heritage which is important to both of us because I don’t know my Norwegian heritage very well so it’s important she at least knows part of her heritage. Maybe I should learn more about my own so the kids have a good balance of both of their backgrounds.

When it comes to Hallvard and Tomas they often use hair time as a time to bond and decompress. Hallvard is a bit clumsy and isn’t too good at doing his own hair so thank goodness he has Tomas. Hallvard often likes to do his hair like the Vikings of old because like me, Hallvard is Norwegian. So, Tomas is a master of Viking braids and hairstyles, Hallvard loves Tomas’ short hair but often feels guilty that his lover spends so much time on his hair. So, he often gives Tomas scalp massages and shoulder and back rubs as a thank you for all the time he spends pampering Hallvard.

I understand the struggle lovely, up until I was 16 my hair was down to my waist and an absolute nightmare to maintain, now it’s about to my shoulder blades and much easier to take care of. Haha I have worthless little t-Rex arms so they give out trying to do anything cute so I basically stick to pigtails, braids and space buns that’s about all I can do. Speaking space buns, Bi-Han in space buns, come on Boon let us give him space buns!!

Hopefully this time my answer posts lol thank you for the adorable ask lovely 💕

I found my face claim for Hallvard! Norweigan model Thomas Liden, I’m laughing at the fact that his face claim is named Thomas.

Yes Hallvard does have dark hair even if his face model doesn’t, I swear dark haired Norwegians exist! One of my besties at my job ages ago was a stupidly tall dark haired Norwegian and even though I bleach the fuck out of my hair I’m also a darker haired Norwegian. I might sketch Hallvard sooner or later, I might not lol I’m not sure I can do his hair which is supposed to be like a messy Viking braid/dreadlocks situation. I would also want to draw him with Tomas and I’ve never tried to draw him either so who knows, it will probably never happen. 🙃 Well at least not until we know Tomas’s face model then maybe I can draw him, I could do them in their masks maybe though? Even if I do though I might not post it cause no one cares about my OC 🤣😭

[bihansthot]

OC stuff no one asked for!

Tomas is Hallvard’s first crush, he’s a little bit younger than Tomas and grew up admiring him. He’s also always been very impressed with Bi-Han and his incredible mastery of cryomancy but it never manifested into a crush. Hallvard has always only had eyes for Tomas.

Hallvard is a bit of a masochist thanks to his abilities, as a reaver he gains power from injuries and ingesting enemy blood. He has a nervous tick of injuring himself unless Tomas is around, Tomas keeps him relaxed and grounded.

Hallvard is a very enthusiastic lover and lives to please Tomas in whatever way he can. He’s also inexperienced, Tomas being his first and only lover. He often goes to Bi-Han for advice which is always a fun time because listening to what his adoptive brother likes in bed is exactly how he wants to spend his time. Bi-Han also has limited experience with men as he prefers women so it often ends in Bi-Han throwing his hands in the air and yelling “I don’t know what to do, lick his asshole or something! Ugh! Shut up Hally!”

Hally is a nickname only Tomas, Bi-Han and Sektor call Hallvard as he’s closest to them, the other Lin Kuei often refers to him by his full name or Hall. Hally initially started as a term of endearment from Tomas but Bi-Han and Sektor started joining in a a playful and teasing way and it just stuck.
