ALNST OC/Sona Profile: Aoki

I swear I'll get my next intimacy levels post out soon I just wanted to do this first :3

Art by the most lovely and incredible @rockwgooglyeyes (who just does this unprompted idk why *head in hands* anyway I love him). This is Aoki, my OC for @alnst-sona-season. He's like me but so much worse please someone help him

Extra info:

He/Him, transmasc

Potentially in the 10th Anakt Garden based on talks in the server? Undecided

One meaning of the name Aoki is blue. Do you get it guys do you get the joke

Has been close with @rockwgooglyeyes OC, Kay, since they were both little kids. Aoki is very attached to Kay, who's a sort of safety blanket for him, but after an accident, Kay nearly dies, and when he returns, he's - wrong. Something's wrong. Aoki is in denial for a long time about this and it's around this time he becomes a really paranoid person.

(Okay so he's inspired off of The Summer Hikaru Died) (specifically Yoshiki who's described/summarized here: "Yoshiki is a quiet and reserved boy, though he becomes more talkative when discussing things he has a strong dislike for. His good friends describe him as secretive and having a tendency to hold back his thoughts even if they show plainly on his face. According to the adults around him, his appearance and way he presents himself "makes the town a little darker". Although Yoshiki has friends he spends time with regularly, he feels disconnected from and suffocated by the people in his village to the point that he wants to leave or hide himself to avoid others prying into his life." This all factors into Aoki's character.)

Goes from unhinged golden retriever energy to wannabe black cat energy in his teen years (still a depressed repressed golden retriever)

Has specialized in dance training since he was young

Can often be found just casually doing middle splits while reading

You have to drag his ass out of bed in the mornings or he will never come out

His guardian (name yet to be decided) has multiple other pet humans, which has made Aoki competitive as a student

Home planet is just full of black sand there is nothing to see here

Always cold af, he has no body temperature regulation

Can play guitar and do dramatic piano ballads! Multifaceted

Gravitates towards plain food

Gloomy and reserved around people he's not comfortable/familiar with, but easily excited around loved ones. He doesn't express his actual thoughts or feelings about any given situation much, making him a bit of a mystery despite his friendliness to his classmates.

Dazzle Minimorph Queen! how is he leading the meetings of his mostly younger siblings and stealing the show?

Ahhhh King Ringlead the Dazzler, Queen of the Minimorphs! My beloved 💖

First lemme preface this by saying, when we were designing the minimorph queen, we decided early on that they are the living embodiment of tiny but mighty. Just the itty bittiest bots with the biggest, loudest personalities. The two options were either an absolutely feral chihuahua of a femme that wants to fight everybody and has 100% bitten someone's fingers off before, or a flamboyant, showrunning mech that is described as having "vampire elf twink" energy. The last one won out because I thought that phrasing was so funny XD

So, the minimorph queen! His real name is Ringlead, but his so called "showtime" name is Dazzle. I.e. he's only called Ringlead in severely private moments alone with his most trusted praetorians or favored mates, and is called Dazzle all other times. That big long title of King Ringlead the Dazzler, Queen of the Minimorphs is a real thing he says to introduce himself. He's got what I describe as coked up golden retrieved vibes--endless energy, talks a mile a minute almost like a salesman, and just has a way of lulling people into feeling comfortable. He comes across as so genuine and friendly, and for the most part, he is. He may seem airheaded and downright forgetful sometimes, but if anything threatens his hive it's like he becomes an entirely different person: a stone cold killer that has no qualms about manipulating the situation to go in his favor. He's like the ringleader of a circus and a puppeteer all at once, pulling strings behind the scenes and always 6 steps ahead, making sure everything goes his way. He even has this fancy scepter-staff thing that he twirls around and uses to emphasize his speech 24/7. Does it serve any practical purpose? No. Is it 100% just for the aesthetic? Yes. Do I care? Not at all (っ˘ω˘ς )

He's mostly soft white with accents in pale pink and green, like a watermelon candy. Cosmic horror done up in pretty pastel colors, merrily swinging his staff around his wrist and commanding his legions of minimorphs. I love him sm

He originally came to be due to a funny "haha what if there were minicon cybermorphs and they got to earth and promptly went owo finding a species that's just their size for incubation lol that'd be so funny" and then it just. Got away from me. He's one of the oldest queens but certainly doesn't act like it, always giggling and never seeming to take anything seriously, but underneath that carefree facade is a cybermorph queen that would level an entire galaxy if anything happened to his hive.

okay tell me everything about the baby ask gjhj ( ino ofc )

send me a ship and i’ll tell you -------- EXPECTING EDITION (accepting, tag)

@ak4rin

Who cries when they find out about the pregnancy: once it sunk in, he'd tear up for sure. he'd hold back and check in about how she's feeling before he was too expressive but he'd have a cute happy nervous energy about him. but after that? he'd probs just kiss her face all over, big golden retriever vibes - huge.

Who says it’s a boy and who says it’s a girl: see, i dont think he'd have a preference, he'd legit just be hyped about being a dad - however, i do think he'd be slightly more anxious about having a girl simply because he knows there's a lot he has to learn and he's up for it!! he just doesn't want to let his girls down

Who suggests ridiculous names: takuma's stance is 'if it sounds cool we should consider it'. like he wouldn't want to name his kid anything too ridiculous, but he would be fine with more uncommon names.

Who suggests using a family name: i think takuma would prefer they don't use a family name (unless it was important to akari).

Who says ‘veto’ to the most names: huh probably akari?

Who reads the most ‘What To Expect’ books:  listen, the second the pregnancy sunk in this man's social media feed would just be parenting influencers and bloggers and whatever. i don't think he'd overly stress himself, but he wants to do things right and he wants to learn and also he'd just be !!! so hyped about it that he'd want to see what others who have already been where he is are doing and how they dealt with things. legit his fav instagram account would be this one (the 'yo, you got one of these things?!' dad)

Who insists on having a ‘gender reveal’ party: i think he'd want to celebrate every lil thing including finding out if they're having a boy or a girl, but no big party needed.

Who thinks ‘Maybe a home birth is a good idea’:  takuma's opinion is that he's not the one pushing the kid out so he'll roll with whatever she's most comfortable with so long as there's people around who have the knowledge to assist her if necessary.

Who is in charge when it comes to decorating the nursery: BOTH OF THEM. they'd probably focus on dif things, but he'd be invested. he'd want something comfy but fun and... haha u think i wouldn't find images on pinterest for this? ofc did. here you go: one, two three, four, five, six. .

Who talks to the unborn baby the most: takuma talks to the belly all the time im being so serious. morning talks, back from work talks, good night talks, etc - i think he'd love to read stories to the belly. i have like a million hcs about this

Who suggests having sex to kick start labor: look. if she was down... he read somewhere... he's up for it if she is... like.. you know...

Who cries the most when the baby is born: exactly when the baby is born idk if he'd cry, but he would for sure cry when he saw akari holding the kid for the first time

miles!!!!

consider: sam/guy

Coming right for my heart with two of my all-time favorite boys, aren't we? Bet.

While Sam does work extremely well with reckless messes, he would also pair nicely with a comfort character. Guy might be chaotic and extra, but he stays out of trouble and offers tons of love and affection. He would bring the perfect amount of excitement and chaos to Sam's life without tipping over into dangerous habits. He would make sure Sam always knows exactly how valid and genuinely good he is. There would never be a day when Guy doesn't come home after work, flop onto Sam, and tell him how much he missed him. It would be such a direct contrast to the relationship Sam had with Alexis, and I think that would be good for him.

We don't have a huge amount of information on Guy just yet, but we do know some general truths. He's an entity of chaos and mischief, always ready with memes and teasing. He works hard at his job, which tends to be thankless. He's extremely loyal and loving. He has major golden retriever energy. He loves to cuddle and be close to his partner.

Going down the line, Sam vibes so well with chaotic partners. For fifteen years, his life has been confined to patrolling WonderWorld and going to clan meetings. He didn't get out much, as far as we know. He needs some excitement in his life. He's also forty, so Guy would have so much fun memeing on him when he doesn't get the references. Sam still doesn't know what a skrinkly little skrungle is, but he knows that's his name in Guy's phone.

Sam is an endless source of validation and care. He's always there to be Guy's mother hen when he works too hard or takes on too much. He would be more than happy to massage away the backaches from having to drive all day, or play with his hair to relieve the headaches that food service work always seems to come along with. He would also be ready to use magic to ease the aches and pains of the day.

Sam is similarly loyal. He tends to be extremely honest and kind. He told Alexis as soon as she started catching feelings that he wanted to end things between them, which must have been difficult, but it was an important step for him to take. He doesn't get involved with people unless he knows it's what he wants, and he doesn't let go of what he wants easily. He would make sure Guy is always taken care of and loved, no matter what.

I don't care what anyone says, Sam deserves a puppy partner. Whether that be Darlin', with their German Shepherd vibes, or Guy, who is the poster child for golden retriever boyfriends everywhere, he deserves that kind of love. Every time Sam comes home from a clan meeting or patrol, I can see Guy jumping up off the couch and running over, helping him take his shoes off and asking about his day. He'd be happy to follow Sam around the house and talk about anything and everything, not letting the large house go quiet. He would make sure Sam never feels alone.

Sam and Guy are both huge on cuddling. This is a canon fact. It is also a fact that Guy is usually the one being held. I can't think of many things Guy would like more in this scenario than being held, safe and secure, in the strong arms of his vampire boyfriend. And on the same token, Sam would be so content napping with Guy laying on top of him, his head on his chest, feeling the warmth and weight of the one he loves most on him. It would be incredibly grounding and comforting.

Finally, Guy would find Sam being a vampire so insanely hot and you cannot tell me otherwise. Of course, the Twilight jokes would be insufferable, but Sam loves his idiot too much to actually be mad. Besides, kissing him is a great way to shut him up when he starts going on about dating "irl jasper hale" or whatever. It would take Sam a hot minute to realize that Guy is serious when he says he loves the idea of Sam feeding on him. It's just such a different perspective than what he's encountered in the empowered world, but it's refreshing.

All in all, 10/10. I love them together.

Caleb and his wife (and if you're up for it, Belord). ☕️

under a cut bc it got long!

Caleb and his wife: i am sooo fascinated with them. i want to know everything. Caleb is really just the character of all time, he's this ghost haunting the narrative whose death led directly to the entire story we see, but we know virtually nothing about him.

i'm very fond of my characterization of Caleb as a person who, as a survival mechanism, developed the ability to just Choose Not To See things that were threatening or painful, which came to include "every single one of the five billion red flags that Philip was waving all the time." i enjoy more complex takes on him that explore what his personal role in the absolute nightmare dumpster fire his and Philip's relationship clearly became might have been, and dislike the tendency to treat him as a precious cinnamon roll golden retriever boy (outside of like, obvious jokes/shitposts.)

i'm less firm on my mental characterization for his wife... she's fun to think about but exists as far more of like, an accessory to a plot device (Caleb being the plot device, LOVE his fridged anime mom energy) to me.

i like imagining her as someone who was really interested in the human realm, kind of similarly to the way Gus is, except she actually got to go there sometimes! it's really fun to think about the culture shock she experienced meeting Caleb and gradually finding out how fucking bonkers the culture he comes from is - like imagine your first introduction to Christianity being a seventeenth century literal Puritan.

the two of them are some really fertile ground for like, trauma recovery hurt/comfort - Caleb finding out how harmful and abnormal his upbringing was, getting to experience someone being like "wow none of that should have happened."

i also really enjoy imagining scenarios where like, the two of them end up spending time around or even living with Philip for a while, and he becomes a huge source of friction in their marriage, because Caleb's always overlooking his shitty behavior and making excuses for him, but witchwife doesn't have the same attachment.

(also interesting to consider that Caleb seems to have been willing to finally stand up to Philip and say enough when it came to protecting his wife, so, there IS a line Pip could cross...)

Belord: i love it so much. makes a terrifying amount of sense? like it's such a crackship but at the same time... there's genuinely a lot of intense emotional potential there. i can so easily see it actually happening, they would go together so well and have SUCH a bad breakup.

it's just so... it's such a relationship where both of them are using each other as stand-ins, basically. Philip of course just projects like hell onto Ford, sees him as basically another version of himself, and is so desperate for another human to be around that he'll completely forgive and excuse things totally antithetical to his own worldview.

and Ford does have a fundamentally opposed worldview! Ford loves the strange, paranormal, supernatural, occult, etc - he finds it fascinating and worthy of study, he finds it marvelous. he doesn't see it as something threatening which needs to be stamped out, he sees it as beautiful and relates to it.

Ford sees himself as a person rejected by and outside of typical society, and spitefully embraces that; at his worst he considers himself better than the people who reject him, at his best he's got a supreme sense of self-confidence and understanding of who he is and what his place in the world is.

Philip meanwhile is someone who i think has also been rejected and feels outside of typical society, and also looks down on those who have rejected him, but also tries incredibly hard to fit in and earn their respect. like, Ford knows nobody respects his study of the supernatural, but it means the world to him; Philip's whole thing here revolves around trying to gain status for himself and be the best and gain the regard of his community, a community i sincerely doubt was ever kind to him.

and Ford of course... is someone who is very vulnerable to flattery and having his ego stroked and also very lonely, and i think he would be really prone to ignoring Philip's red flags. they both project onto each other about their respective brother experiences, they both want to see each other as Just What They've Been Looking For, and for a time at least they both are able to be that for each other... but of course it can't last.

my c!Slimecicle headcanons part 2 let's go!!

i have more hc for c!Slime and i wanted to share, hopefully they aren't too stupid didhdggxxsjdjv

Slime hates being alone too much, now that he can talk to people

that's why he's constantly hanging around the people of Las Nevadas when he's not on a mission Quackity assigned him

he doesn't really understand why, but it seems to fill a void (that three people left behind–)

he mostly hangs around Fundy, Quackity and Foolish

the few times that he copied some of Fundy's fox bits, Fundy told him to give himself dog ears and tail (specifically golden retriever) and to go see Quackity

when he did, Quackity nearly spat out his coffee, sputtering for an explanation and wondering wtf is going on

when Slime explains, Quackity starts to wonder what else Slime's – slime, can do

Foolish taught him to do the dog ears whenever he's asking Quackity or Sam for something

also puppy dog eyes

it does critical dmg to Quackity, and he becomes flustered and gives in immediately

Sam is affected by it, but does and he sometimes gives in after some more asking

Foolish uses it to his advantage and makes Slime ask for stuff for him

Slime once had a panic attack after Purpled gave him a poppy

luckily Quackity was there and calmed him down, but all parties involved were confused

"Slime, buddy, are you ok? what happened?"

"I– I don't know, Quackity..."

Slime's voice was so small and so soft that Quackity didn't press for more, but made sure than all citizens of Las Nevadas knew not to give Slime a poppy

Slime does keep the poppy with him, when Quackity asked why, he just responded: "It's a reminder, I think"

Slime sometimes forces Quackity to stop working and give him attention

he once just grabbed Quackity by his waist, picked him up bridal style and walked him to the Needle and to Quackity's room

Quackity was shouting and blushing and very much in awe of Slime effortlessly carrying him around and he DEFINITELY didn't have less than platonic feelings rn–

Slime just takes them to Quackity's bed, and flops down on his back and forces Quackity to also lay there, on top of him

Force Quackity to cuddles: MISSION SUCCESSFUL

Quackity was absolutely not gay panicking, whaaaaat?

when Sam went looking for Q, he found him sound asleep on Slimecicle's chest, seemingly comfortably cuddled up to him. Slime simply waved at Sam with a bright smile and told him to be quiet

Sam simply let Quackity rest and left

cuddles between Slime and Quackity became a regular thing afterwards

almost everyone who has hugged Slime agrees that he gives the best hugs

Slime enjoys trippy and disturbing music, but he also really likes the music Quackity listens to

once he sang along to a song with Quackity and now Quackity tries to get him to sing as often as possible

the citizens of Las Nevadas have terrible sleeping schedules, so Slime – as a guy who doesn't need any sleep – decided to make it his job to get people to their beds. whenever they fall asleep at random places at ungodly times, he just picks them up with his inhuman strength and takes to their rooms

he has woken Fundy up from a nightmare by doing this a couple times, Fundy is the only other person that knows that this is happening

Quackity does have an inkling that that is what's happening, because he distinctly remembers falling asleep at his desk, but he woke up cuddled up to Slime in his bed

Q ain't complaining, but he's kinda confused

one time Slime was actually able to fall asleep

he had a nightmare

Foolish was the only one to witness the aftermath

Slime was laying down in the sand, clearly deep in a nightmare. Foolish was just about to waje him up when a surge of energy shot out and knocked the demigod away. he recognized that type of power, it wasn't one mortals could wield

Foolish didn't bring it up with anyone, he thought he hallucinated it from lack of sleep

Slime's nightmare was vague, but he talked to Fundy about it when the fox couldn't sleep

he remembered seeing that one poppy being handed to him and to another person, by a figure in red. he remembered a man who looked similar to a ram, he remembered a storm, he remembered an apple.

he remembered a palace in the sky

Fundy was pretty confused, but tried to understand it. Slime was his friend niw after all

Fundy once convinced Slime to wear a corset and show it off to Quackity, he recorded tge entire thing and caught Quackity in 4k

the duck man was very flustered when he saw Slime in the corset, he was smiling at him and Quackity was a stuttering mess. and by Fundy's suggestion (devious fucker), Slime pulled Quackity flush against himself and Quackity was spiritually dead at that point, steam was basically coming out of his ears at that point and he was smiling dumbly and just resigned to his faith

Fundy definitely didn't use the the video ask blackmail to get better pay.

ajhzjhshsb that's all i have rn, if you want more then ask me for some and i'll provide

my brain is mush, please check in later i am in quackcicle brainrot hell rn, i might do separate hc for their relationship (platonic and romantic)

anyway, bye

Hello, you said you were bored of proofreading and wanted les mis asks, so well...I'm new in the fandom and I'm obsessed with the boys so: "What personality trait do you like best in each of the Amis?" - I hope didn't get too heavy, lol, and good sociology exam!!

omg okay so i'm also pretty new to the fandom side of les mis so i don't have personality hcs for ALL the amis yet (just my favourites) but here we go

- enjolras HATES being told he's wrong. like as soon as he's made up his mind about something no one, not even grantaire, can change it. it reallyyyy annoys everyone sometimes, but they still love him for it. he's an observer and a listener, so rather than take charge immediately, he will sit back and see what everyone else says and how they feel so he can decide what he wants to do about it next

- courferyac is just the most chaotic golden retriever mf you will ever meet. like he has so much energy that enjolras always makes him deliver messages so it tires him out. but at the same time, he can be really chill around the people that don't like big crazy hyper courf and he knows exactly how to comfort everyone

- everyone thinks grantaire is just kind of there for the sake of it, but he really would die for his friends. like he is the most loyal person you will ever meet and it doesn't even matter if he doesn't believe in your cause, he will still help you as much as he can because he sees how important it is to you (yes this is just him with eniolras but shh he's like this with everyone)

- combeferre is a big time overthinker. like if you give him any situation he'll have all the outcomes and backup plans made within five minutes. this is useful most of the time, but sometimes he needs to relax a bit and stop thinking that everything he does will kill him

- jehan is here for a good time not a long time. he takes every opportunity he gets and makes the absolute most of it. jehan lives by the fact that you never know which day is your last, so he just does anything he wants. he wants to read a book, climb a tree, bake a mf cake? thats exactly what he's going to do and he'll have the most fun doing it

okay thats me done for now, but ill probably come back and add to this at some point when im not about to pass out from a lack of sleep hagshdj

4 and 5 for Ayo

4. How do they act around a crush?

Chatty, confident, and high energy when he's in the phase of drawing their attention and judging how they feel about him. Halfway between Golden Retriever and Party Boy. Like all Phindians, Ayo uses wit and stories as social currency. Sometimes, the people he pursues will sleep with him just to shut him up, which works for him and his particular flavor of ✨emotional damage✨. He'll use very genuine compliments and just a little bit of exaggerated interest in a person's life to see if they're going to be comfortable with him.

For the people he really sticks to, the "I want to be in your orbit for the rest of my life" kind of crushes that drag on for some time, he'll earnestly notice and remember things about them and their lives and try to do little acts of service to make them happy or make things easier for them. Once the flash and burn of the initial interaction has mellowed and he builds up a rapport, he'll open up quite readily about most things, but there are still topics of his family and past that he won't speak of with anyone.

5. Do they have a “tell” for when they’re lying?

Not unless you're a Phindian or familiar with the particular way Phindians lie. He's still very much of his culture in this way. He'll tell interwoven lies of omission so he doesn't have to talk directly about a topic. If you're not used to the pedantic way Phindians use half-truths and sarcastic statements to work around something they don't want to talk about, it's really hard to pick out.

The time he spent as a lackey with a smuggler crew really taught him the value of not having an easy tell.
